Change of Plan
In the second episode of Tehran Season 2, Israel is rocked over the death of Arezoo and the other prisoners. Tamar rings Milad, telling him to come outside and meet her. Unfortunately Faraz happens to be in the streets, and he spots Milad leaving. He hurriedly phones Ali, giving him instructions on where their man is.
Milad is on the run from Ali. The chase leads them through the streets, hopping over rooftops to try and track him down. This delay means Tamar is more likely to be spotted too, as she’s driven through the streets to meet her partner. It’s touch and go for a while, but thanks to Tamar intervening, the pair manage to make it to safety, away from Faraz.
Tamar admits she is working with Mossad again to help get her ex-boyfriend, Milad, extracted. Milad urges her not to, wanting them to be together. Their ride to Canada is literally right there but for Tamar, this is personal now. After Arezoo’s death, she is blinded by rage and decides to stay and finish what she stated. Regrettably, Milad does the same thing. ..
General Mohammadi arrives at Faraz’s place with his men to do a “quick sweep” of their apartment. He’s not happy and a little suspicious that Faraz is working, despite being suspended. That’s only exacerbated by him actually tracking down Tamar and Milad. Off the back of this, the General gives Faraz an opportunity to prove himself, giving him his job back.
Nahid the next day is worried and acting erratically. Between this and his interrogations, Faraz starts to lose control. He smashes his cane over the back of Azizi when he makes fun of Faraz’s wife. Eventually Azizi gives them Babak’s name.
Meanwhile, Tamar decides to use Milad’s contacts to get closer to Mohammadi. She intends to befriend Peyman, the General’s son, and then use that as a shortcut to get close to the General. It’s a risky plan, and as she feeds this back to Yulia, she agrees to pass this idea on. For now though, Tamar is to get some rest. ..
The female agent, Marjan Montazemi, is seen in the morning in the kitchen with Tamar and another agent discussing the validity of Tamar’s plan. ..
Milad goes to the gym to contact Vahid. He is unsuccessful in reaching him, so he decides to go one step further and show up in person.
Milad is betrayed by Vahid, and after a lot of persuasion, he manages to convince Vahid to play ball. The revenge for Milad’s betrayal comes swiftly, as a man shows up at the apartment and begins choking out Milad.
Fortunately, Tamar is there and she manages to take him down. Vahid rings soon after, setting up a meet. The trouble is, with the drug dealer passed out in the living room and Marjan refusing to help, the meet is given an extra tinge of tension as everything starts to escalate.
Vahid and Tamar continue to talk as Milad takes care of their dealer problem, choking him out and killing the man. When Marjan finds out she’s not happy. She points out that it could have been Milad that died. ..
That night, Yulia and Marjan talk, discussing how it is no coincidence that Faraz was reinstated. He knows Tamar and can go after him. The other problem is Milad. Yulia tasks Marjan with “taking care” of this.
The Episode Review
In the second episode of Tehran, we see Tamar’s operation come into fruition. She intends to get revenge on the General for killing her aunt. For Tamar this is personal but it’s a risky plan, especially as it involves Milad. As we’ve seen from the end of this episode, it’s clear that he’s putting them at risk and Marjan is going to have to “take care” of him.
The other intriguing element of this drama is Faraz’s role in it. He’s a loose cannon and could well be the key to tracking down and stopping Tamar.
As the summer months approach, so does the heat. And with it comes an increased chance of violence. This dangerous game of cat and mouse is just stating to heat up – will our characters manage to withstand the heat? ..
