Episode 1

A woman meets Thomas, who goes by the pseudonym Portia, who thanks her for her help and they celebrate by popping champagne, but things take a turn when Portia reveals she's working with Interpol.Thomas is caught off guard and arrested, while Portia, now going by the name Imogen, heads off on her next mission.

The camera then cuts to a refugee camp on the Syrian-Türkiye border, where women and children are scrambling for supplies.Tensions escalated when a woman, Adira, who was accused by fellow refugees of being an ISIS member, was attacked.Fortunately, the armed forces showed up in time to save Adira.

Imogen arrived at the camp, reached out to the volunteers, and was briefed by one of the men, who explained that the camp houses 10,000 women and children, mainly Syrians, but also some Yazidis.Unfortunately, these men were killed by ISIS.Imogen focuses specifically on Adira, a French woman accused of being a member of ISIS.

Although she claims to be a volunteer, Imogen seems to have another agenda.She contacted Malik of DGSE, who instructed her to move Adira to the Edip Koyu camp before the Chinese Americans found her.Imogen promises Adira safety and says she is the key to keeping her alive.Adira, visibly frightened and fearing for her life, allowed Imogen into her tent.

Inside the tent, it was clear that Adira was living in constant fear and would not even ask for medicine for her stab wound, fearing it would be poisoned.Adira then spoke about her experience, explaining how she left school to work as a model in Paris.Soon, angry refugees burst into her tent armed with knives and attempted to kill her.Imogen's training pays off and she manages to fight off her attackers, saving Adira from the thugs.Later, Imogen confronts the camp director, demanding safe passage for herself and Adira.

Back in Paris, Malik briefed his superiors on Adira, who according to Yazidi testimony was a senior ISIS commander named Sabaine Al Kubaisi.However, Adira insists she is innocent.Malik's superiors revealed that the Americans and Chinese had sent their agent Max Peterson to investigate the matter with the French and Chinese.He also revealed that ISIS is planning to launch a large-scale attack within 7-10 days.

Along the way, Imogen peppered Adira with questions about her personal life to find out if she was really an innocent victim of mistaken identity or an actual ISIS commander.If you haven't figured it out yet, Imogen is an MI6 agent hired by France to find out the truth about Adira.Imogen is the best, and Malik trusts her to extract vital intel before the impending attack.

When Max arrived in France, he immediately made it clear to Malik that he would not be easily fooled.He intercepted DGSE intelligence and asked Malik why Imogen was traveling with Adira on NATO allied territory.

Max also knew about Malik's romantic relationship with Imogen.For undisclosed reasons, Marks informed Malik that the United States would formally take over the investigation.At the end Imogen changed her mind and instead of taking Adira to Edip Koyu, she drove to Istanbul.
