Prince has recovered from the spot and lives, against all our fears after episode 3. He wakes up in Atlanta in a hospital with his father sitting by him. Prince expresses his love and desire to get Amber back, although his father is disturbed by her secret of working for the agency. Pereira, his men, and Bambi have tracked down the facility where the guerillas are keeping her.
“Hey, you want to buy some cocaine?” he asks her. “I can get you a kilo for a hundred dollars.”
Mitch, the operator at the agency, calls Mitch, his partner at the agency, and asks what they are doing to get Amber out. Mitch informs them that the “seventh floor” is aware and concerned about the situation but the government does not want to touch Amber. Bambi threatens him and vows to do it all alone and kill Mitch and those hesitating to take action. It turns out that Mitch and his partner have known Amber for years (owing to her working for the agency) and see her as family. But Mitch’s hands are tied and there is nothing he can do for her in this situation.
Bambi had a night out drinking away his sorrows. He reflected on his past, and childhood, and flirted with the bartender. It was revealed through flashbacks that Bambi killed his father with a rifle in the house when he was little. There is no confirmation if that happens or not. So put a pin in that for now. The entire flashback charade happened simultaneously as Bambi sat with the bartender and drank heavily. He was brutally beaten by a group of locals whom he antagonized at the bar. ..
He wakes up in the bartender’s house the next morning, who informs him that he had passed out on the road. She tells him about her cousin, Javi, who is a fisherman. When Bambi sees how much fish he has caught, she tells him that he fishes near the bridge where the current is lesser. Bambi promises Javi to make him a lot of money if he teaches him fishing and makes him a partner in the enterprise. We see a montage of Javi and Bambi fishing together and selling it to different marketplaces. They get drunk every night and work all day. But what is the bigger purpose here? At Haas Global, Prince’s father has accepted defeat.
Sources in the White House tell him that Amber cannot be retrieved. He is convinced that she cannot be brought back and urges Prince to accept it and move on with his life. He has also set up a meeting with the Senator to pitch Prince as a prospective politician. ..
Prince is taken aback by how good the Senator is while giving him tips for a speech. She characterizes it with all the veiled misdirections and sweet lies politicians use to woo the voters. Is this his new reality, he wonders standing in the corridor.
Mitch confronts his boss with the idea to help Bambi run over the place. He is indifferent to it but warns Mitch not to put any of the paperwork on his table. Reese, who works for Haas Global, is flirting with Prince and he reciprocates, indicating that maybe he has moved on from the idea that Amber can be rescued. They have dinner together at his house and are about to have sex when Prince pushes her away. He changes his mind and asks her to leave. Reese does not give up and walks up to him, proceeding with the original plan.
The Episode Review
The episode felt like it was trying to do too much and didn’t really deliver on its promise. It felt like the writers were trying to shoehorn in a lot of new material without really giving it a chance to breathe.
The episode lacked a strong central character, and the development of Luke Evans’s character was sparse.
In the next episode, the CIA is expected to get behind Bambi and a raid is possible at the cocaine facility.
