The Boy Scout [Donald Ressler|Diego Klattenhoff] #9: "I'm in the darkness, and doing the right thing is the only way I'll ever feel the light again."
x Donald Ressler is a veteran field agent who is a stickler for procedure. Ressler's greatest asset is his single-minded, almost obsessive devotion to his work. He spent five years on a FBI task force obsessively pursuing Reddington, which resulted in his fiancee breaking off their engagement. He despises having to work with a criminal like Reddington, but he acknowledges that Reddington does get results. Initially he distrusts Elizabeth Keen and her connection to Reddington, but eventually comes to respect and work well with her. After he was shot by Anslo Garrick, he reignited his relationship with his former fiancée, Audrey Bidwell. Unfortunately she was killed by Mako Tanida, after which Ressler learned she was pregnant with his child. Ressler develops a addiction for pain pills after getting shot and losing his girlfriend and unborn child. When he is in Alaska with Liz on a case, he purposely breaks his thumb to get a new prescription for his pain pills. Ressler is abducted and his pills were taken from him. He starts to go into withdrawal in the woods. Liz finds out about his addiction when she finds Ressler's badge, ID, gun, and his pills. Liz wants to help him fight his addiction and after they have been into a car accident, he is flushes his pills down the drain. Ressler is made the interim head of the Task Force when Red and Liz go on the run and he is in charge of leading the manhunt. Once he caught Liz, Cooper is reinstated and Ressler goes back to working as a field agent and partners up with Samar.
"It’s so easy to lose perspective, forget what really matters."
—DONALD "B O Y S C O U T" RESSLER— "Funny thing, you know, I used to be a real boy scout. Strictly by the book. Followed all the rules. Then this thing happens. My fiancée, she gets killed, murdered right in front of me. And the guy who did it, the only way I could get him was to forget all the rules. It was a real crossroads for me. Had to choose which path to take. The thing is, I think it’s real important for you to know, the path I took, there wasn’t any rules. And the thing I realized was that sometimes that’s okay." x

I want Ressler to not be in the darkness. I want him to find his way home. To find his way out.

That's what I want too. I want him to be happy again. Really happy and be with someone that makes him happy.

Would you like to meet his family? I'd like to meet his brother who had the heart problem.

Do you think that Ressler will ever be able to be happy as long as he didn't face the consequences for Hitchin's death? Before the truth is out?
I'm not so sure that I'm too interested in his family though. __________________

I don't know if he can.. I think it will always be in the back of his mind what he did.
I would like to meet his family. His mother especially. __________________

I think so, too And he wants to take responsibility for it. I hope he will as soon as the show is over or about to be over.

I wouldn't want him to lose his badge or go to jail. Do you think he would be happy if he confessed but was not punished

I don't want that either but I would like to see how he would deal with it all coming out. I think he would feel so much better if he wouldn't have to keep it a secret anymore.

I am not sure... I think he just wants the truth to be out and for people to know and I can even see him being sentences for it. Maybe not to go to jail, but for him losing his batch. I can't help it but I think he would prefer for that to happen than to nothing happening at all.
