Spy/Master

Victor finds himself in grave danger amid Ceaușescu’s growing paranoia and news that his nemesis is closing in on his secret. In Germany on a diplomatic mission, Victor decides to take his chance with the Americans.

Armed with damning evidence, Mircea outs Victor to Nicolae and Elena. Later, Victor gets troubling information from his old flame Ingrid, and Frank tries to sidestep official channels when Victor is called back to Bucharest.

Holed up in a safehouse, Victor nervously waits for Frank as news of a missing diplomat quickly spreads. Meanwhile, Frank tries to force the CIA’s hand but his strategy could backfire.

As Nicolae fumes over reports of a defection, Frank moves Victor to the protection of the U.S. embassy. Later, Mircea and Carmen attempt to cast doubts on Victor’s true motivations.

After learning of Ileana’s interrogation back home, Victor demands the Americans get a message to her and leverages Ingrid’s intel about an imminent bomb attack in Bonn.

Though Victor’s intel proves useful, the German police and CIA are left scrambling when a second target emerges. Amid the chaos, Victor and Frank attempt to neutralize the attackers, and make a last-ditch effort for Victor’s escape to America.
