NARRATOR: Welcome to Killing Eve,
a wonderful world of assassins, MI6
agents who never fill out paperwork,
and impeccable satin shirts.
Can I take a picture of you for my Instagram?
Don't be pathetic.
NARRATOR: Sorry, baby.
We know you don't have time to re-watch all
16 episodes before season 3 drops, so we did it for you.
This is so boring!
NARRATOR: Here's your IMDb Cheat Sheet for seasons 1
and 2 of Killing Eve.
Meet Villanelle, your friendly neighborhood assassin.
Meet Eve, an American working in London for MI5.
She has a mustachioed husband, named Niko,
and an obsession with female assassins.
Wait a minute.
The show is called Killing Eve.
Ugh.
This can't end well for her.
Eve impresses Carolyn Martens, a boss lady at MI6,
by correctly guessing that a recently
murdered Russian bad guy was killed by-- ding, ding, ding--
a woman.
Congratulations.
NARRATOR: Even though she's definitely told not to,
Eve interviews the only remaining
witness to the murder.
Wait, does anyone in the department speak heroin Polish?
NARRATOR: Hey, this kid does.
Your killer was a small-breasted psycho,
apparently.
NARRATOR: Said small-breasted psycho gets a new gig
from her handler, Konstantin--
kill the witness.
Eve heads to the hospital to question
the witness one more time, while Villanelle
heads there to kill her.
Guess who wins?
Somebody help!
[BEEPING]
[GASPS]
NARRATOR: Eve and her friendly boss,
Bill, both get fired by their supervisor, Frank.
Just to be clear--
- You're fired. - Excellent.
Thank you.
NARRATOR: But Eve immediately gets
rehired by Carolyn Martens as an underground MI6 agent
with one task--
hunt down Villanelle.
Eve hires Bill and Elena to join her team of Villanelle hunters
which also includes computer whiz Kenny.
She even does a great job of hiding
her new gig from her husband.
I'm working for MI6.
NARRATOR: Whoops.
Eve and Bill head to Berlin to investigate Villanelle's
murder of a Chinese diplomat.
There, Eve catches the eye of the Chinese attaché--
You look crazy.
NARRATOR: --who gives her a USB drive
with the secret government info that ties the dead diplomat
to none other than this guy.
It's just disappointing when the mole is the one
who looks most like a rodent.
NARRATOR: Meanwhile, Bill spots Villanelle, tries to catch her,
and gets stabbed so many times, like so many times.
Bill!
NARRATOR: As punishment for killing Bill,
Konstantin sends Villanelle on a road trip
to Bletcham with her ex-girlfriend
and fellow assassin, Nadia, and Nadia's new boyfriend.
They try to kill Frank, but that doesn't work.
So Nadia kills her boyfriend, and then
Villanelle runs over Nadia.
Fun.
Oops.
NARRATOR: Eve and Elena take Frank to a safe house.
Then, Eve heads on home to find a murderer in her kitchen.
I just want to have dinner with you!
NARRATOR: Over shepherd's pie, we
learn that Villanelle's employers are called The 12,
and oh, [BLEEP] she just took Eve's
phone which has the location of Frank's safe house on it.
Frank, buddy, you OK?
Well, Frank's dead, but guess who isn't?
Nadia.
She's chilling in a Russian prison.
Eve and Carolyn head to Moscow to question
her, while Konstantin sends Villanelle
to the prison to kill her.
Hey, speaking of Konstantin.
It's OK.
He's with us.
NARRATOR: Is he though?
While Konstantin is playing both sides of the fence,
Villanelle kills Nadia, but not before Nadia
can slide into Eve's IRL DMs with a little prison note.
Rapid fire spoiler time.
Kenny is Carolyn's son.
Carolyn and Konstantin used to hook up.
Villanelle gets hired to kill Konstantin,
and gives it our best shot.
Eve gets fired again, finds Villanelle's apartment
in Paris, they take a nap together,
and then Eve stabs her with a knife.
I really liked you.
NARRATOR: Season 2 picks up 30 seconds later.
Villanelle escapes to a hospital,
where she robs a lady, tells a sick kid he's ugly,
and then murders him.
She's nice about it though.
Yes.
I am funny.
NARRATOR: Eve gets her job back, because Carolyn
needs her help again.
And remember that note Nadia slid under the prison door?
It was the name of a very rich, very dead guy, Alistair Peel.
Eve examines the body and realizes it's murder,
but not Villanelle this time.
There's a new girl in town called The Ghost.
Villanelle escapes the hospital and tricks a nice man
into letting her stay with him in his house full of dolls.
Oh, Julian, wow.
NARRATOR: You in danger, girl.
Villanelle understandably stabs him
in the neck with a knitting needle
and escapes into the arms of her new handler, Raymond.
I've had a really [BLEEP] couple of days.
NARRATOR: Carolyn's been hiding Konstantin at her house
and keeping his family in a secret location.
Eve gets Konstantin to tell her where The 12 are housing
Villanelle in London, and in return, she gives
him the location of his family.
Eve comes this close to capturing Villanelle,
but Konstantin double-crosses her and whisks Villanelle away.
Meanwhile, Niko's co-worker is totally in love with him,
and someone's been calling the school where
he works to complain about him.
Huh, who could that be?
Oh, it's Villanelle.
The Ghost keeps up her killing spree by offing Alistair
Peel's godson and secretary.
She wanted it to be painless.
What kind of assassin is that?
NARRATOR: But Eve figures out that she's a health care
worker, bada-boom, bada-bing, Kenny finds The Ghost using
the magic of the internet.
Do you want us to shoot you in front of your kids?
NARRATOR: Damn, Eve.
Eve can't get Ghost to talk, so she
comes up with a foolproof plan.
Put out a hit on herself, so that she can lure Villanelle
in to question The Ghost.
I need your help.
I-- I needed to see you.
So you hired me to kill you?
Yes.
That is so stupid.
NARRATOR: Anywho, it works.
Ghost tells Villanelle that Aaron
Peel, Alistair's creepy son, ordered the hit on his father.
He's developing a weapon that every bad guy in the world
wants to buy, including Villanelle's employers, The 12.
Villanelle tells Niko that Eve stabbed her,
and Niko leaves Eve, because his luscious mustache has led him
to believe he deserves better.
Smell you later.
NARRATOR: More speedy spoilies.
Villanelle kills Niko's baby-voiced co-worker
and leaves him in a storage locker with her.
Carolyn and Eve use Villanelle to get close to Aaron Peel.
Villanelle travels to Rome with him,
where he reveals his secret weapon--
reading people's text messages?
Villanelle kills Aaron.
What a dick.
NARRATOR: Eve and Villanelle both
realize they were just cogs in the machine, man,
and that Carolyn's plan was for them
to kill Aaron Peel all along, and Konstantin was in on it.
Eve kills Raymond while he's strangling Villanelle.
Then she gets extra mad when she realizes Villanelle could have
killed Raymond herself, because she
had a gun in her fabulous pantsuit the whole time.
You're mine!
Eve?
NARRATOR: Eve tries to leave, and Villanelle shoots her.
Yep, that really is how they've left us hanging.
Tune into season 3 if you want to find out
what was in that envelope Carolyn
gave Konstantin in the finale.
What is--
Operation Mandalay.
NARRATOR: Will Niko ever escape that storage locker?
Did Villanelle finally kill Eve?
