## Throughout The Night Agent

### Season 1

Ellen and Dale attack Night Action agents Henry and Emma Campbell at their house. Emma and Henry clear the house while their visiting niece Rose escapes out the back. Henry clears the staircase when a neck wire drops from above, strangling him. Emma is attacked but fights back. Henry dies from the strangulation. Ellen pulls a gun and shoots Emma in the chest. Rose hears the gunfire and sees the flashes from the front yard. Dale unmasks himself and then sees Rose. She takes off running and breaks into the neighbor's house. She dials the number for Night Action and gets help sent to her.

Rose hides in the closet and watches Dale while talking to Peter. When it seems Dale is coming her way, Peter tells her that if he finds her to fight like hell against him. Dale is scared off by the police.

As Peter and Rose leave his apartment, Peter notices they're being followed and tells her to stay low. He has her call Night Agent and tells the agent on the line what's happening. Dale shoots at them from his car. Peter notices she's bleeding and makes sure it's just from the glass. A bullet-ridden car chase ensues. She recognizes Dale as being the guy from her aunt's house. Peter causes Dale to get in an accident and then escapes.

Dale and Ellen break into Peter's apartment but escape before the FBI agents outside arrive. Peter goes through the security camera footage and takes a screenshot of the insignia ring on the man's hand.

A woman is cleaning her house when she sees Dale and Ellen who are posing as a young couple outside with a baby. Ellen is showing the house to Dale, claiming she's feeling nostalgic for her childhood home. The woman invites them inside and they talk. Ellen slips up in her story and the woman figures out she's lying. Dale chokes her from behind with a wire, killing her. Dale finds what they came for and they leave without the baby. Dale texts with an unknown number to let them know the job is done. He's instructed to come back to D.C.

In the woman's house, the radio reports on a missing 10-month-old baby. The baby is on the coffee table.

Ellen and Dale drive as she wonders what is in the bag they stole. He used to be curious but isn't anymore. They talk until they're pulled over a cop for speeding. She reaches for her gun but he stops her, preferring she take her ticket.

They get back to their hotel room. She's obsessing over what's in the bag and decides to open it. It's a stuffed elephant nanny cam. Dale answers a call from Gordon Wick and a Mystery Man. They want the couple to kill Rose.

Ellen and Dale go to a hotel where Rose Larkin is staying. Ellen, posing as housekeeping, knocks on Rose's door. She tells Dale that Rose isn't there.

Rose spots Dale in the stairwell and he shoots at her. Peter returns fire then helps Rose over the railings. They end up in a conference room where a shootout occurs. Peter and Rose manage to get out but are followed by Dale. They hide in a room as Peter knocks out the glass window panes, devising a plan to jump. He breaks her fall and they run away, narrowly escaping Dale.

Dale and Ellen return to the hotel and she screams in frustration. He tells her to be patient. She doesn't like losing and wishes she thought more like him. She loves him with everything, and he loves her too. They have sex until Wick calls with orders.

FBI Deputy Director Jamie Hawkins is found murdered in Maryland similarly to how Emma Campbell was killed.
