Like him and his father Pete (Sebastien Roberts) are playing basketball outside their house, a group of FBI agents arrive with a warrant to seize Pete’s hard drives and other electronics. Pete complies, telling his son to calm down and hand over his phone, explaining that they are all on the same side. Judging by his cool and collected demeanor, Pete has nothing to hide, which explains why Peter always believed his father was innocent of the crimes he was accused of. But perhaps not everything is as it seems.
Camp David
As Diane takes them to Camp David, she finally tells Peter about the subway explosion. Well, what’s more, she wasn’t involved in the affair until after it happened, justifying her role in covering it up, thinking she was keeping Travers and the country safe. In her explanation, she also reveals that Rose’s aunt and uncle were killed after meeting with Zadar (under orders from the president to investigate the bombing). Vic, Redfield, and Diane thought the Campbells had told Zadar that he was the target, so they needed to be taken care of in order to continue with their plan. As Diane continues to talk about the specifics of Wick and Redfield’s plan and why they chose the explosives, including what they need to have in reserve for Camp David, Peter finally figures out why he was chosen for the Night Action program. who got him into it all. begin with. After the allegations against his father, Peter was chosen as the scapegoat if they ever needed to put the blame on someone else.
Meanwhile, in a helicopter with Vice President Redfield, Chelsea begins interrogating one of the two new guys. She notices that they both brought large suitcases with them, but when she points to them, they fall silent. Meanwhile, Redfield is engrossed in a conversation with Briggs (Toby Levins), who is in charge of the Secret Service and is apparently involved in the plan to assassinate Zadar and Travers. Upon landing, Maddie and Chelsea separate. One of the men she interrogated takes Chelsea to a room where he tells her to sit down and just watches her, preventing her from contacting anyone or even using the restroom. Redfield tells Maddie that the president would like to speak to her alone, though he takes her to a secure underground bunker with a Secret Service agent, where he plans to stay with Maddie until the attack is over and he can rise from the ashes as the new president. He explains his relationship with Zadar, the terrorist, to Maddie, telling her that Travers is too weak to lead the nation. He then apologizes for how he blamed Maddie for her sister Sarah’s death, finally taking responsibility for his own failures. Will this prevent Maddie from following Chelsea’s plan? The answer is no, as Maddie tries to convince her father to stop his plan, but he refuses.
Diane arrives at the lodge, telling Peter and Rose to stay where they are while she tries to find Travers and talk to him. Instead, she finds Almora (Enrique Murciano), who refuses to believe Diana’s claims that the President and Zadar are in danger. When she asks to speak to Travers, Almora tells her that the connection is down - as we can assume, the tower has been tampered with. However, before they can track down Travers, Vice Presidential Assistant Briggs arrives with an ominous threat that Diane should not be at Camp David. He then pulls out a gun, shoots Diana in the back, and kills Almora. Overhearing the struggle, Peter storms in, but loses Briggs when he runs out the back door. An injured Diane points them to the communications building, where Rose can hopefully use her expertise to set things right, while Briggs uses a working communications line to let the other corrupt agents know that Peter is on the premises. When her guard is distracted by Briggs, Chelsea gets the upper hand and flees.
The attack begins
While Rose tries to make contact, Peter goes to find the president and stop the attack. Peter finds Briggs first and they fight in the woods on the property. Elsewhere, Chelsea finds a bomb in the lodge, evacuating the building while Maddie orders her father to let her out of the bunker. Maddie finally confronts him, explaining that she is done with fake smiles and lies and will not hide his role in the president’s death if his plan succeeds. So he releases Maddie, expecting the attack to kill her as well. Luckily, Rose manages to re-establish communications, so Chelsea is about to alert the President about the bomb just in time to leave Laurel Lodge. During the evacuation, Chelsea hears Maddie screaming from the hallway to the bunker and manages to get her out just before the bomb destroys the lodge. But the attack is not over. An inside man from the president’s security team informs Peter—thinking it is Briggs—that the president survived the first attempt, but contingencies on Marine One are doomed to failure. Before the President boards, Peter shoots the inside man in the head and holds the President at gunpoint while he tries to explain the situation to her and her remaining guards. He begs them to search for the bomb in the helicopter as all the agents in the compound point their weapons at him. Luckily, Travers listens to Peter, ordering his team to search. When they find the bomb, they run away as soon as it explodes. Everyone survives. Peter is taken into custody and Chelsea and Maddie arrive just in time to explain the conspiracy to President Travers and clear Peter’s name.
The Aftermath launches a new season of The Night Agent
Chelsea and Maddie arrive at the bunker to rub bad luck in the face of Vice President Redfield, while Rose finds Diane to keep her alive so she can rot in jail after clearing Peter’s name. Back at the White House, Peter and Rose have a private meeting with President Travers. She tells them that she is hurt that they have chosen to remain anonymous as she would like to publicly thank them. However, Travers asks Peter what she can do for him to thank him for his service as she cannot attach a medal to him. With Rose’s encouragement, Peter asks to finally know the truth about his father by getting never-disclosed information about his betrayal. Unfortunately, it was also revealed that Vic managed to escape, so now they are trying to track him down in order to bring him to justice for his role in both plots to kill Zadar.
Despite being on vacation, Chelsea is called in by the new head of the Secret Service and asked to say a few words about the Monks (DB Woodside) at his ceremony the next day because the person who knew him best, Almora, also passed away. At first she refuses the offer, but then she accepts. She is then told that when she is ready to return to work, President Travers has personally invited Chelsea into her security force. She readily agrees, and her new boss promises details. Chelsea later meets with Maddie and they discuss the upcoming changes. Maddie agreed to testify against her father, but she turned down President Travers’ offer to expand her Secret Service protection because she wants to learn how to defend herself before she travels the world and enjoys her freedom.
In a secluded room, Peter watches a tape of his father’s confession, where he reveals he gave information to foreign operatives about private contractors and commercial facilities that eventually led to the Pentagon break-in. Afterwards, he speaks to Travers again about what he found out, which was the brutal truth after believing his father died an innocent man for so long. Travers reveals that Peter’s father agreed to become a double agent, but he was killed by a foreign agent to prevent him from helping the government. The killer was then hunted down and killed. Now that Peter has proven himself, Travers sees an opportunity for him, offering him the chance to become a Night Agent like Rose’s aunt and uncle. At the airfield, Peter and Rose share a heartfelt goodbye with a kiss. Peter says he will call her as soon as he can. Rose decided to restart her career with all that she had learned from the previous setback and this treacherous experience. Peter boards the plane, hands him a tablet that he can unlock after exiting American airspace. Once the pilot announces that they are, Peter opens the file and his mission begins.
