Ask Julian Gale

[askraymondredreddington]

Julian Gale is obsessed with bringing you down. Are you concerned? He seems very determined!

Ah, Julian!  @askjuliangale was part of @askdonaldressler‘s little coterie of door kickers for a time. I eluded them for years.  I’m not terribly worried about him now, no. He can be as determined as he wants, but I’m fairly confident I can manage to remain one step ahead.

[askjuliangale]

We’ll see about that @askraymondredreddington.  If I get another shot at you, I’m going to take it.  Especially knowing now that you bribed the President’s National Security Advisor to make a grand jury investigation go away.  Your victims deserve justice.

[askraymondredreddington]

It’s been a difficult year. I admit I’ve felt a bit off for some months now and not quite myself. But there’s no time to wallow. My purpose, my mission if you will, remains unchanged, and I have an operation to rebuild. Many of my former associates have abandoned me but the most loyal remain. I am grateful for them. If anyone has questions, I will endeavor to answer them. 

[askjuliangale]

AU: if you need up finding Reddington, are you going to capture him or kill him?

Our orders are to apprehend Reddington when we find him and to bring him in for questioning. I can’t promise I won’t threaten to kill him first though.  Like @askdonaldressler says, bad cop, crazy cop. I don’t think we’re gonna find him this trip though. Hopefully next time.

[askjuliangale]

AU Now that you got Jansen to talk what's your plan on catching Raymond Reddington?

Well, that’s the rub now, right? We’ve got this guy, who I can’t picture in regular clothes anymore thanks to @askdonaldressler and he’s agreed to help us.  But in all seriousness, he’s in charge of Reddington's shipping at the port here in Amsterdam. He is literally the guy through whom all cargo passes.  So as long as he stays on our side, and alive, we’re gonna know what Reddington is moving through this port.  And knowing what he’s moving leads us to him.  I don’t mean to sound trite, but sometimes, it really is that simple.  At least we hope so.

[askjuliangale]

AU Don't be corrupting Ressler with any of your Red Light district girls!

Oh, don’t you worry. If it’s up to me, I’ll be sending @askdonaldressler back to his beautiful fiancee safe and sound. Whatddya think Donnie? Time to walk back to the hotel? Avoid the temptation?

[askdonaldressler]

The only temptation I need to avoid is the chocolate bar in the mini fridge back at the hotel.  I’m starving but my need for sleep outweighs my need for food.  Let’s get the hell out of here.  Lead the way.

[askjuliangale]

They have chocolate in there? I didn’t even look. Man, I’m missing out.  They charge us though, right? Ah, hell. Ooh Donnie watch out!  

[askdonaldressler]

[askjuliangale]

Man, that bike came out of nowhere!  You ok, Donnie? These canals, everywhere!

[askdonaldressler]

I’m fine.  Wet but fine.  Now, instead of holding back that laugh, would you mind helping me out of here?  I’m going to need an antibiotic or something.  God knows what’s in this water.  Julian…I swear to you I will push you in this canal once I get out if you don’t wipe that look off your face and help me out.

[askjuliangale]

I’m sorry man, I really am but… ok, no antibiotics needed.  A shower?  Definitely.  But you kind of needed one before anyway….. 

[askdonaldressler]

Look who’s talking. As for that chocolate bar.  Your mini fridge had one. Before I took it while waiting for you earlier. Along with a few other items.  And yes.  We do have to pay for those.  Good thing it’s not on my room bill.  

And can I just put it out there how much I hate bikes. Like I really, really hate bikes.

[askjuliangale]

You took my chocolate? Man, that’s a new low. I thought you were different than the rest Donnie. Guess I was wrong.  Guess you got me in the end.  Hey wait - what other items?

[askjuliangale]

AU Julian, you think you're the best one to give Ressler women advise?

Hey, I’m not trying to corrupt @askdonaldressler.  But I think I’ve lived a little longer than him, if you know what I mean. I may not have a fiancee now like he does, but I’ve lived long enough to please ladies a lady or two.  Ok, maybe three or four.

[askdonaldressler]

AU So how did you and Julian get the target to talk?

After hours and hours and hours of trying to convince him that being on our side was in his best interest what finally got the man to talk…what finally did him in…was his infidelity.  When we grabbed him off the alley @askjuliangale took his phone.  What we found.  Well, let’s just say I can’t un-see what I saw. 

[askjuliangale]

The look on your face was priceless @askdonaldressler.  I think your face alone convinced him that his wife’s reaction was going to be much worse than he could ever have imagined. My question is - were you really that surprised?  Or was it all just a good act?

[askdonaldressler]

Are you kidding me?  The first thing I see is a blue human sized furry dog. First off, why is the dog blue?  Being led by a leash…Julian…this isn’t even…who does this?  I mean if I didn’t know you took the phone off Jansen I’d almost think you were messing with me.

[askjuliangale]

Donnie, I promise you this is no Blues Clues scenario and for once, I’m not messing with you.  (Though if I’d thought of it…damn. Opportunity missed).  Haven’t you ever heard of furries?  This is like a thing for some people.  From the look on this guy’s face?  He’s the real deal.  He’s not messing around.  And that’s exactly why we’ve got him.

[askdonaldressler]

Can you take anything serious?  Blues Clues?  Really? And you…you would know all about these furries wouldn’t you?  

I need another drink.  And I’m pretty sure you said you were paying?

[askjuliangale]

Hey, I don’t have personal knowledge on furries but I get around.  Apparently more than you. How is that fiancee of yours, anyway? Sure, I’ll buy the next round. But have you noticed that blonde in the corner that is checking you out? Damn.

[askdonaldressler]

I’m in enough trouble as it is, pal.  I don’t need you trying to pull any of that sophomoric “what happens in Amsterdam stays in Amsterdam” crap.  Audrey is all I need.  And how do you know the blonde with the killer legs isn’t checking you out? She may prefer unkempt bums like yourself over clean shaven ruggedly handsome men like myself.  There’s a lid for every pot my mom always said. 

[askjuliangale]

Unkempt bum? Seriously? How many drinks have you had, Donnie!  Didn’t take you for such a lightweight. There’s one way to resolve this, you know. We could invite the lady over…

[askdonaldressler]

Oh, because that will be such a good idea.  Come on, man.  I’m beat. Let’s get some shut eye and I promise I’ll go along with whatever you want to do tomorrow before the flight leaves.  If I can even function in the morning. I can’t believe I let you drag me out tonight.

[askjuliangale]

Aww, ok.  I’m just messing with you Donnie, you know that, right? I’m not trying to cause problems between you and your lady. You’re right it’s late. But man, it’s beautiful here. You up for walking? Because we don’t have canals like this at home, if you know what I mean, and the Bureau’s not gonna send us here twice. So let’s take a minute and smell the roses - or tulips - if you will. You with me?

[askjuliangale]

AU Weekend. How does it feel working on the Reddington task force, knowing Ressler is in charge, yet has only been out of the academy for a couple of years and is much younger than the rest of you guys on the team? Does that cause any issues? Or do you guys all 'gang up' on the younger boy scout between missions!

Hey @askdonaldressler are you in charge?  I must’ve missed that memo! Oh yeah - you get to write all the reports & stuff.  I guess you’re the boss? Sorry, boss.

AU Ressler's a rookie, but he seems to have a good head on his shoulders. Does he have the skills to take down Reddington? What's your take on him?

My take is that @askdonaldressler thinks he’s a Boy Scout, but deep down, somewhere buried in there, there’s a part of him that’s not. Only question is which part will win the day in the end.  But yes - he has the skills to take down Reddington, I think. He’s got a good head on his shoulders, drive, dedication.  I may rib him, but there’s no one I’d rather be on this mission with.
