Contains spoilers for 'The Veil' Episode 4
PARIS, FRANCE: The ongoing spy thriller drama series 'The Veil' provides insight into the murkier world of intelligence services as they attempt to avoid a terrorist assault.
The series' premise mostly revolves around Imogen Salter (Elisabeth Moss), a veteran of MI6 assigned to discover Adilah El Idrissi's (Yumna Marwan) true identity, as she is thought to be a fearsome ISIS leader.
The show also exposes Imogen's personal objectives since she collaborates with CIA agent Max Peterson (Josh Charles), in exchange for vital details regarding her father, Marcus Seabright (Phill Langhorne).
What did Imogen discover about Marcus Seabright in 'The Veil' Episode 4?
In the latest episode, Max hands Imogen a pen drive with information about her father, Marcus. The contents of the pen drive were not revealed until the episode's conclusion when Imogen prints out all of the data and uncovers stunning revelations regarding her father's spy career.
In a surprising turn of events, it is revealed that Marcus was not the innocent victim of terrorism that Imogen thought he was.
Instead, he was a double agent who leaked confidential CIA information to Russia and to conceal his death, the CIA orchestrated a terrorist cover-up to kill him.
The shocking revelation undoubtedly caught Imogen off guard, leaving her dumbfounded and heartbroken.
Will Imogen Salter continue her collaboration with the CIA in 'The Veil'?
Imogen did not exhibit any extreme behavior after learning about her father's true identity, but it was clear that she was shell-shocked as she had always regarded her father as the embodiment of a patriot, and this new revelation could lead to further unexpected events.
Imogen, however, is also aware of Intelligence's crafty plans and may believe that the files include fraudulent data, prompting her to unearth the entire story, for which she can seek the assistance of Adilah in gathering information on her father's activities.
Perhaps there is more to his narrative than the CIA documents show. Was he blackmailed? Has he had a change of heart? Imogen might look for answers that go beyond the established story.
Imogen also has moral struggles as a result of learning about her father's background which poses the question of whether she will continue working for the same agency that killed her father, even if it was justified.
This could cause her to reconsider her allegiances and consider cooperating with another side, such as the Russians, with whom her father was allegedly in contact.
Overall, it would be interesting to witness how Imogen will uncover the truth about Marcus in the remaining two episodes.
