Bryan Mills (Clive Standen), Christina Hart (Jennifer Beals) and the rest of the team at National Intelligence must retrieve sensitive documents in Zurich in Season 1, episode 5 of NBC’s “Taken.”

According to the synopsis for the episode, titled “A Clockwork Swiss,” the National Intelligence must get hold of the said documents to prevent an economic and political disaster.

In a sneak peek from the episode, Christina learns about the documents from the Associate Attorney General of the United States, Tracy Dyer (Saad Siddiqui). Christina wants to brief the President about the documents, but Tracy stops her. Apparently, Tracy knows National Intelligence’s covert assassination of the Chief of Staff to the Secretary of Defense last episode, so Christina is left with no choice but to comply with Tracy’s requests.

Retrieving the documents, however, isn’t going to be easy, as there are other groups who are also interested in the files.

In another sneak peek from the episode, Mitus — who is supposed to hand the documents to Bryan — is killed, and the files he’s bringing with him are taken away.

In another sneak peek, Faaron (Simu Liu) finds out that the group who killed Mitus and stole the documents is headed by Byron Kaine (Daniel Kash), a man reported to have died in 2008.

While the team tries to retrieve the documents from Kaine’s group, Bryan’s lover, Asha (Brooklyn Sudano), is continued to be tricked by Elena (Layla Alizada) who disguises herself as a friendly neighbor. As revealed at the very end of last episode, Elena and her partner Juan Pablo (Ivan Wanis-Ruiz) are befriending Asha to ultimately use Bryan in finding Carlos Mejia (Romano Orzari).

In the promo clip for the episode, Bryan seems ready to reveal his job to Asha. But will Asha still pursue her relationship with Bryan when she finds out that he’s working as an agent for the National Intelligence? Only time will tell.

“Taken” Season 1, episode 5 airs on Monday, March 27 at 10 p.m. EST on NBC. Watch the sneak peeks and the promo clip for the episode below:
