The Old Man Recap: Taken
An action-packed sequence and expository monologue in the final minutes keep this episode from being classified as filler.
Otherwise, this episode was pretty much a waiting game, though our patience was rewarded handsomely in those final minutes with yet another signature Old Man expository monologue: It turns out the Russian oligarch Suleyman Pavlovich — the one who ordered the hit on Emily Chase — is embroiled in a secret global mineral deposit cartel with enemy nations. Chase is also experiencing some very justified panic attacks in the wake of Emily’s murder — though they’re getting in the way of the clear head he needs to complete Operation Get Answers and Unalive Suleyman Pavlovich. The video on the USB drive is Nina’s “ Help me, Zoe-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope ” message, which fully lays out Suleyman Pavlovich’s vendetta against them: Henry and Marcia Dixon are the only people standing in the way of his entrée into a merciless rare-earth-metal cartel with the potential to control the free world.
