A less focused episode, returning again to a market (I don’t remember if it was the same one.) We started with flashbacks to the attack on David and his team in the Philippines all those years ago, with Juno acting suspiciously in hindsight and planting the idea of faking his own death to protect Rebecca in David’s mind. Obviously, it took place at night, so it could have been clearer. We also saw younger Juno (frazzled wig) telling younger Rebecca (child actor) that David was dead.
In the present day, it turned out that Gun had survived.
Rebecca and we met David’s latest in-laws, the mother didn’t approve of his being American, the father was touchy about his import-export business being called smuggling and any shade on his ability to protect his family. Rebecca’s stirring seemed to expand to include flirting with her stepmother’s brother.
Meanwhile, Oliver was just tied up. Rebecca and David tag-teamed interrogating him. Oliver tried to get David worried about what Rebecca had become and her appetite for killing (countered by her appetite for all of her job). Rebecca wanted to torture Oliver, who’d been molly-coddled by his mother. Having used a doctored recording of Juno, David played on Oliver’s feelings (and the idea of Juno-Oliver as shadows of David-Rebecca) and found out Oliver had had a thing for the Korean heir who had turned out to be a spy or an asset, at least, and that the dead Russian had been a link between Caddis and the Russian war effort. Some of the geopolitics on this show, specifically around Russians and Senators did not match real geopolitics as I understand them, but that’s beside the point.
David and Rebecca decided to use all this against Juno with Senator Dawson, who clearly disbelieved his former mentee Juno serving Rebecca on a platter. They also agreed that Juno needed to be brought down for (their) good. So, they left Minhee and her mother to the in-laws, and headed for Seoul, where they worked well together to clone one of Dawson’s aides’ phone. Caddis had turned one of his security detail. David took Rebecca to the market where Dawson was going to meet someone for an useful recon and some father-daughter bonding time. It paid off when they used a series of distractions to get Dawson alone with David to come to an agreement. Dawson wanted hard evidence of Juno’s guilt.
Oh, and they switched Oliver’s phone back on and set him free near the market, with David warning him that Juno would probably suspect him now. Juno’s team realised that Dawson had been unsupervised for long enough for David to have talked to him.
