The Rich Kids
Nahid wakes up Faraz with a kiss, but soon their good vibes are squashed when Faraz is called away for an early morning meeting with Mohammadi. Unbeknownst to him, his car has been bugged and his every move is being traced. ..
Mohammadi is with his son, Peyman, when Faraz arrives. Faraz warns Mohammadi that he is in danger and needs to be careful. This meeting is brief, overshadowed by Marjan talking to Tamar about the plan to take out Mohammadi. ..
Milad is concerned that Peyman is going to get caught in the crossfire. Although he’s reassured that everything will be fine, he’s definitely a loose cannon in all this.
Tamar shows up at Vahid’s place to scope out the scene during a big party. This is her opportunity to get close to Peyman, who happens to be there partying. She senses an opportunity when she notices Peyman arguing with a young woman called Yasmana. Naturally, she approaches Yas and starts a conversation with Peyman. ..
As Vahid and Peyman both dunk each other under the water, Tamar takes off with Peyman’s phone, hacking in and connecting with Milad.
Meanwhile, Nahid is continuing her therapy sessions with Marjan. However, these sessions are being recorded for Mossad, unbeknownst to Nahid of course. During an interval, Marjan speaks to Milad, who confirms what’s going on. Only, there’s a problem. Faraz is en-route and she needs to be quick. The tension here suffocating, as Tamar finds herself in hot water with Peyman, especially when he notices her with the phone.
In the latest episode of “The Crown,” we see that Tamar is a poor agent. She is close to Peyman, but she is nervous and her leg shakes. This makes it difficult for her to do her job well. When Faraz goes to the villa, Tamar manages to slip away and stay hidden. She stays close to Peyman so she can finish the data transfer she started. ..
When Faraz leaves, it gives Tamar the opportunity to head back downstairs with the other party guests. When the transfer is complete, Tamar just needs to switch the phones over. She’s given a lift home from Peyman but of course Milad is spotted outside by Vahid, who brings him in for a drink – and to probe information on Tamar.
Milad is arrested and Vahid’s plan comes to fruition.
The Episode Review
Tamar is not a great undercover agent. This was established in the last season and it continues into this chapter. Tamar is incredibly nervous while doing the phone data transfer and while I understand this must be nerve-wracking, surely an undercover agent would compose themselves a bit better than that? ..
In this episode, Milad is established as a liability and is found with drugs on his possession. Tamar tries to free him from prison, serving as a nice distraction from the main plotline. While tense and nerve-wracking, Tehran continues to slip up with the same problems it’s always been plagued with when it comes to its questionable character motives. Ultimately, this one is an enjoyably flawed thriller.
