As the stakes climb, Martian is seen in a secretive meeting with Mr. Dalaga, stating, “You know what I want, Dr. Zahir's life and freedom. Do we have a deal or not?” The promo then transitions to scenes featuring various cast members, including Leo disguised as a nurse and moving hurriedly.

More about The Agency
The official synopsis of the series on Paramount+ reads:
"Covert CIA agent Martian is ordered to abandon his undercover life and return to London Station. When the love he left behind unexpectedly reappears, their romance reignites, pitting his career, his real identity and his mission against his heart while hurling them both into a deadly game of international intrigue and espionage."
The opening credits of The Agency showcase characters and scenes depicted through fragmented mirror panes, representing the intricate and deceptive nature of the intelligence world.
This imagery draws inspiration from James Jesus Angleton, the former CIA Counterintelligence Director, who famously referred to the field of intelligence as a "Wilderness of Mirrors." The phrase originates from T.S. Eliot's poem Gerontion, which portrays a fractured viewpoint of an ageing man reflecting on Europe in the aftermath of World War I.
