Episode 3 summary of The Assassin: Did Julie meet her end, and who was responsible for the fatal gunshot?
In the gripping crime thriller "The Assassin," available on Prime Video, we follow the harrowing journey of Julie, a retired assassin, played by Keeley Hawes, and her estranged son Edward, portrayed by Freddie Highmore. The story begins on a secluded Greek island, where Julie finds herself in the company of Edward, who has come to visit her. However, their peaceful retreat is disrupted when they are forced to go on the run.
Meanwhile, in France, a woman named Marie gets acquainted with a man named Ezra Cross, who reveals a chilling secret: he is searching for Edward's fiancé, Edward's father's suspected killer.
The chase continues in Albania, where the group, now including Kayla and Luka, discover Damian's apartment in disarray, with bloodstains on the walls, leading them to suspect foul play. As they search for Damian's address, found in Sean's phone, they encounter a neighbour who proves uncooperative.
Julie, realising that running is their best option, suggests this to Luka. Their fears are heightened when they find a newspaper revealing a body was found in the local river, named as Damian, a revelation they suspect is not true.
The group's search leads them to Damian, who is revealed to be alive, but in a tense standoff with Edward, who has Damian's gun. Damian explains that a man trying to kill Julie sent two men to his house, asking questions about her.
In a surprising twist, Luka suggests to Edward that Damian could be his father. This revelation comes as Julie wakes up to find Damian holding a gun to her head. However, Damian's intentions are not malicious; he offers Julie a new identity and a chance to live hidden somewhere, away from the danger.
The story takes another turn when Marie receives an invitation to Aaron Cross's party in France. Aaron Cross, Edward's father, is introduced in France, where he is hosting an event and receives a call from his son.
In the final moments of the third episode, a gun goes off, but the identity of the person who has been shot remains unclear, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats, eager for more.
