John Drake, the secret agent known as Danger Man, is assigned a new case by his superiors at MI6. In "A Man to Be Trusted," the tenth episode of season two, Drake is sent to Mexico to investigate a man named Carlos Montalvo.
Montalvo is suspected of being involved in the smuggling of military hardware and other items across the border into the United States. Drake is tasked with gathering evidence against Montalvo and disrupting his operation.
Drake arrives in Mexico and begins gathering intelligence. He meets with a local contact who provides him with information about Montalvo's organization and the various people involved in the smuggling operation. Drake begins to build a case against Montalvo, using his contacts to gather evidence and information.
As Drake delves deeper into the case, he discovers that things are more complicated than he originally thought. Montalvo is a respected businessman in the local community, and many people are reluctant to speak out against him. Drake also discovers that Montalvo's operation is more extensive than he realized, and involves many people who are unlikely to willingly turn on their boss.
Despite these obstacles, Drake continues to gather evidence and build a case against Montalvo. Along the way, he also forms a relationship with a woman named Maria, who is involved in Montalvo's organization. Maria is initially wary of Drake, but the two eventually develop a relationship as Drake works to enlist her as an informant.
As the investigation heats up and more attention is focused on Montalvo's operation, dangerous forces begin to close in on Drake. He finds himself caught in a crossfire between Montalvo's organization and rival factions who are also interested in taking down Montalvo. Despite the danger, Drake persists in his mission, determined to bring Montalvo to justice and prevent his organization from causing further harm.
