Be the Gray Man
As Kate walks the hallway at the Park Madison Hotel, she reflects on what’s happened. With all their clients hacked and things heating up, Katherine remains determined to try and find Leo before it’s too late.
Meanwhile, Scott and Vanessa are called out to the aircraft hangar, where they find Monique’s body. Sean deduces that the group were trying to escape and lost the argument, hence why she’s ended up dead. Vanessa is incredulous to his idea and walks away, deciding to get back on finding the group.
While this is happening, our runaway group decides to break up again. Sean assigns Natalie, Aadesh and Tara to collect 80,000 dollars by 10 a.m. They will then rendezvous in Battery Park but when they get there, they need to make sure they change their identities. So what’s the money for? Well, Sean and Eddie are going to meet the former’s contact and get new passports. ..
The group move in plain daylight, putting on an alias to avoid being determined. However, at one of the stations, Tara gets off while Aadesh starts money laundering through the pretense of an online game, which he’s using to make clean money. Unfortunately, the signal drops out. This is incredibly accurate for the UK. Fun fact, there’s more signal on top of the mountains in Switzerland than there is on a train from London to the South East. Go figure!
Tara heads back to see her daughter, admitting that she needs some time away. She also mentions how some of the things she’s heard are true, but not all of them. It’s a touching chat and as Tara watches her daughter leave, she prepares to get back to the operation. ..
As they drive to the shipyard, Sean and Eddie are tense. They’ve been waiting for the transfer signal to come through, but it’s been cut out. They’re worried that something might happen and they won’t be able to get to the shipyard.
The money is transferred just in time, as Sean grabs the passports and money for the group. For now, they all split up once more to assume their new identities (and make sneaky calls or visits to their loved ones!)
The gang show up at the park as requested. Aadesh looks very different, as does Eddie. Natalie looks exactly the same, save for some glasses she wears in the airport later on, while Tara has just changed her hair a bit. Sean looks exactly the same.
Tara tells Sean she can’t do this. Sean offers some words of assurance. ..
Eddie is actually called Liam McKenna, and Vanessa tasked him with infiltrating the gang early on. The thing is, he doesn’t have much field experience.
With Scott now aware of this, he decides to give the greenlight and allow international travel nonetheless, unaware that they’re all being watched. Because they have trackers in their suitcases, their representative in the US is not happy with allowing these potential terrorists to fly (understandably so) but this feels like the calm before the storm right now.
As the episode ends, Sean sneaks over the hotel room in the middle of the night, putting something inside Tara’s boot. Is that a tracker? Either way, he skips out and meets Martin Copeland outside, telling him that he’s “all set.”
The Episode Review
The final act of this espionage thriller is coming up and the suspense is building as we prepare for it. The way this case has been handled and the secrets being kept between law enforcement agents have made it a bit of a mixed bag, but the twists have been well worked which keeps this one watchable.
Suspicion has finally settled down, but who took Leo and what’s going on with the kidnapping remain a mystery as we gear up for the final two episodes of the show. ..
