Former soldier Jonathan Pine works as night manager at a Cairo hotel during the 2011 Arab Spring when guest Sophie Alekan gives him documents exposing an arms deal between her keeper Freddie Hamid and international dealer Richard Roper. Pine passes the documents to British intelligence expecting protection for Sophie, but someone tips off Roper, leading to Sophie's brutal murder when official channels refuse to help due to political interests. Months later, when Roper appears at Pine's Swiss hotel, Pine secretly gathers intelligence and allies with agent Angela Burr to build a case outside corrupted official channels. This episode establishes the central dynamic of institutional betrayal that drives the entire series. You'll understand how Pine's trust in official channels directly caused Sophie's death, why he's now committed to operating outside the system, and how corrupted political interests protect arms dealers like Roper from prosecution, setting up the dangerous undercover mission to come.
