Tensions run high in this first look at next week’s episode of Taken, in which rescuing a hostage could spell death for millions.
Taken on NBC has already established itself as a high-stake, edge-of-your-seat thriller, but do we always agree with the decisions that Bryan Mills and his team make? As more details unfold about the tragedy in Bryan’s own life, for example, it’s becoming clear that his personal motivation colors his judgment when it comes to his professional decisions.
That central conflict is no more apparent than in this first look at episode 4 of the show entitled “Mattie G,” in which Riley's (Jennifer Marsala of Homeland) insistence to uncover the truth behind a fatal drug given to war vets results in her asset's child being taken. Bryan (Clive Standen of Vikings) defies orders to rescue the girl and uncover the truth.
Here we see Bryan’s team cover a hostage handover – the computer for the girl. But they soon realize it’s not a swap; it’s an ambush. How will they recover from this botched attempt in the episode to come? Tune in on Monday, March 20 at 10pm ET on NBC to find out! Taken features Standen as former Green Beret, Bryan Mills, whose personal tragedy informs his burgeoning career as a special intelligence operative.
