S01E02 Memory
Episode Overview
The IMF is tasked with taking down Janos Karq, known as "the Butcher of the Balkans." Their plan involves having Karq's head of security capture an agent named Sparrow, who will then be used to incriminate him. To execute this mission, they enlist the help of a memory expert, Baresh, who must quickly memorize vital details and impersonate Sparrow. Baresh is set to be exchanged later. However, during a staged "rescue" designed to bolster Sparrow's credibility, Baresh glimpses Soska's critical list of agents, prompting the team to urgently extract him from prison to secure the information.
