Viewers met "Vikings" star Clive Standen as former Green Beret Bryan Mills in the premiere of "Taken" on NBC on Feb. 27. In episode 2 titled "Ready," the character will enter the field for the first time.
However, the mission will not go well. Worse, it will result in a tragic death.
In the pilot episode of "Taken," viewers found out that it was the murder of his sister Cali Mills (Celeste Desjardins) that set him on a course for revenge against Carlos Mejia (Louis Ferreira), a cartel boss. Eventually, Bryan was recruited to become a part of the team of a secret United States intelligence agency.
The team will discover that government officials have been skimming off of refugee funds in "Ready." Because of this, Christina Hart (Jennifer Beals) will reconnect with a long lost love.
As for Asha (Brooklyn Sudano), she will end up at Bryan's doorstep. Viewers should watch "Ready" on NBC on March 6, Monday, at 10:01 p.m. to find out what brought her there.
Joining Standen, Sudano and Beals in the main cast of "Taken" are Gaius Charles as John, Monique Gabriela Curnen as Vlasik, Michael Irby as Sam Gilroy, Jose Pablo Cantillo as Bernie Harris and James Landry Hebert. Playing recurring roles are Simu Liu as Faaron, Ali Kazmi as Marzoki and Jennifer Marsala as Riley.
