00:00 -Hey, let her go! -We're bringing you in too!
00:02 -Jesus! -Peter, put that down!
00:04 [Gunshot]
00:05 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the best and most shocking moments from Netflix's hit action series, 'The Night Agent.'
00:13 I don't want to hurt anybody. I love my country.
00:17 A spoiler alert is in effect.
00:19 Number 10. An odd couple.
00:21 In the first episode's closing scene, which appears to come out of nowhere,
00:25 we find the assassin pursuing Peter Sutherland and Rose outside of a house, accompanied by a woman and a baby.
00:31 Oh, hi. I'm sorry, we didn't mean to disturb you.
00:35 As several thoughts and questions begin to circulate our minds as the couple is invited into the house, all seems fairly normal.
00:41 You seemed so much bigger when I was a kid.
00:44 No.
00:47 How long did you live here for?
00:49 Until I was 13.
00:50 Many likely thought that perhaps there's no way anything could happen since there's a baby, right?
00:55 Wrong.
00:56 When the homeowner begins to suspect something's wrong, it's already too late.
01:00 I don't understand.
01:02 My brother could be very cruel.
01:04 No, the deck. Frank and I had that built five years ago.
01:08 Oh.
01:11 This will go faster then.
01:16 Not only do the assailants take the mystery bag, they even leave behind the poor baby.
01:21 Fortunately, our worries about the baby were quelled when it was later revealed that they had been retrieved.
01:27 The attraction Maddie Redfield has for her art teacher is evident, and it's not long before they enter a relationship.
01:38 However, what we later learn is that the perpetrator of the opening scene's metro attack,
01:43 Matteo Worley, or more precisely who we think is Matteo, is instructing the latter to pursue Maddie.
01:49 Hey.
01:50 It's for the greater good.
01:52 When she escapes her security and arrives at his apartment, she is eager to take the next step.
01:57 Dinner should be ready soon.
01:59 Yeah?
02:00 What if I...
02:02 want dessert first?
02:05 I think we should talk first.
02:08 Hmm.
02:10 I think we should talk later.
02:12 However, he is hesitant and before he can say anything, Worley crashes the party in brutal fashion.
02:18 I need something else.
02:19 Wait, what?
02:20 Maddie is kidnapped and agents Chelsea Arrington and Eric Monks arrive too late and can only look on in horror at the crime scene.
02:27 While on a subway ride, the show's protagonist, Peter Sutherland, notices a suspicious-looking man placing a bag under a seat.
02:38 When the bag gets off, Peter immediately suspects something's off and goes to check what's in it.
02:43 Is that him?
02:46 Yeah.
02:47 Do you know how to...
02:48 No.
02:49 Upon discovering its contents, Peter activates the emergency door release.
02:53 As the subway car comes to a halt and civilians are warned, we can't help but wonder in suspense whether everyone will escape in time.
03:00 I need everybody to exit the train into the tunnels quietly and calmly right now.
03:04 There's a bomb!
03:05 [Screaming]
03:06 Call me!
03:07 Luckily, Peter is able to get off at the very last second.
03:11 Although there was a single casualty and several were injured, we know the consequences would have been far worse had it not been for Peter's intervention.
03:22 For security purposes, Rose is put in a hotel where she will be under the protection of the Secret Service, or so we think.
03:32 Hey, excuse me.
03:33 Hi.
03:34 Where are the Secret Service agents that were here?
03:36 Oh, uh, they were there earlier.
03:38 Peter soon discovers that the security is no longer there and takes it upon himself to rescue Rose.
03:44 What's happening?
03:45 We have to get out of here right now.
03:46 How'd you get in here?
03:48 They cut the power. The lock on your door isn't working. We have to go. Come on!
03:51 Soon after, a high-paced pursuit of the duo by the two assassins takes place.
03:56 It eventually culminates in one unexpected moment we did not see coming.
04:00 Rose, it's gonna be fine. Take my hand. Come on.
04:04 [Gunshots]
04:07 While the duo is able to eventually escape unscathed, it's at this very moment that they become suspicious and realize that no one can be trusted.
04:15 Peter, where are you? We'll send someone to pick you both up.
04:18 Not until you can get this shit under control.
04:22 As an assassin pursues Rose, she follows her aunt and uncle's instructions and calls the night action number.
04:31 She's connected to Peter, who tells her exactly what to do to avoid being captured.
04:36 He's coming.
04:37 What do I do?
04:40 All throughout, it seems as though the assassin is about to close in on Rose, but thanks to Peter, she remains one step ahead.
04:47 Despite her understandable fear and terror, Rose is able to stay composed enough to avoid getting caught until the police arrive.
04:54 Listen to me. Right if he finds you, I want you to fight him.
05:00 You understand me?
05:01 I want you to fight with everything you have.
05:05 The scene perfectly sets the tone for what's to come in this series, and it does not disappoint.
05:10 Rose?
05:15 It's okay, you're safe now.
05:18 That's the guy from my hands out.
05:22 Rose and Peter just cannot catch a break. If surviving the house attack wasn't enough, they have to deal with the assassin yet again when he's hot on their tail.
05:31 A riveting and wild car chase involving a whole lot of bullets and drifting ensues.
05:36 And to make matters more stressful, at one point they find themselves driving in the opposite direction on a highway.
05:42 Fortunately, with some good maneuvering on Peter's part, they're able to escape and lose the assassin.
05:47 He left me!
05:49 [Gunshots]
05:51 But judging from this encounter, viewers are well aware this won't be the last time they see him, and that he will surely return.
05:59 At this point in the series, all hope seems lost.
06:06 In addition to Rose being pursued, Peter becomes public enemy number one after being framed for the kidnapping of the vice president's daughter Maddie.
06:13 Do you remember the first time when I called Night Action, what you said to me on the phone when I was terrified in that closet?
06:18 No.
06:20 You told me to fight like hell. And that's what I need you to do right now.
06:25 With practically nowhere to turn, despite the circumstances, their spirits remain undeterred, primarily because they have one another.
06:33 In a scene viewers heavily anticipated due to the buildup and steady progression of their relationship, the two become intimate.
06:39 Oh my god!
06:40 [Panting]
06:41 Are you okay?
06:42 I'm so sorry.
06:43 Yeah, yeah.
06:44 The moment further strengthens their resolve to forge ahead and get to the bottom of the government conspiracy.
06:55 Number three, Dale versus Peter.
06:57 It isn't long before the assassins are on Cisco and Rose's tail.
07:01 Despite attempting to throw them off, it's to no avail, as Rose is attacked by the male assassin Dale right before she can reach her and Peter's rendezvous point.
07:11 [Explosion]
07:14 As she struggles to defend herself, we can't help but wonder if Peter, who is evading capture at the White House, will arrive in time to save her.
07:22 Fortunately, he does, but it's still far from over.
07:25 A fight ensues, and it's anything but easy for Peter.
07:29 Poor Rose even needs to help him.
07:31 But boy, did it have us on the edge of our seats.
07:34 After a number of grueling moments, the two are eventually able to overpower Dale and escape.
07:40 Number two, shootout at the Container Depot.
07:43 After deciphering the code in Maddie's video, Arrington, Monks, Peter, and Rose arrive at her location to rescue her.
07:49 With help on the way, Maddie is able to escape her captor, but he remains on her trail.
07:54 Two high-stakes cat-and-mouse games ensue, and viewers are aware that things can go off at any moment.
08:00 They eventually find Maddie and even apprehend Worley.
08:04 This victory is short-lived, however, as the female assassin Ellen is at the scene and brought along a sniper.
08:10 - "Shoot her!" [Gunshot]
08:12 She takes out Worley and Monks, and just when all seems lost for the group,
08:16 Rose, who initially stayed behind, arrives and sends Ellen tumbling to her demise.
08:22 It was the last way we ever expected to see this all come to a close.
08:26 [Gunshot]
08:28 Before we unveil our top pick, here are some honorable mentions.
08:32 The hard drive hack.
08:34 Reminiscent of something straight out of a heist film, Rose is eventually able to decrypt the hard drive.
08:39 Far's in on it.
08:41 The tables are turned when Peter realizes which side Far is really on.
08:45 - "I'll set up a meeting with POTUS ASAP. Have your trooper friend drop her at the loading dock."
08:50 - "What?"

09:12 Number 1. Saving the President
09:15 With the conspiracy now revealed, it's up to the group to stop the impending attack.
09:20 The whole endeavor is filled with twists and turns,
09:23 but no moment made our jaws drop or wait in anticipation more than when Peter finally reaches the President.
09:29 - "Drop it now!" - "Listen to me! There's a bomb on Marine One, he's rigged to blow on liftoff!"
09:33 Desperate to ensure she doesn't get on a helicopter carrying explosives, he takes her hostage.
09:39 A standoff between Peter and the President's security and military ensues.
09:43 Peter demands that they check the helicopter. They do, but they don't find anything.
09:47 - "That's it. There's nothing on the chopper. Drop the weapon now!"
09:50 - "It's on there! Check it again! Check it right now!"
09:53 When Peter asks them to go again, just as they warn everyone to get down after completing their search,
09:58 the helicopter explodes.
10:00 - "Clear the area! Get down!"
10:02 Fortunately, neither Peter nor the President is harmed,
10:08 and the plot to take down PIF leader Omar Zadar is ultimately foiled.
