Safe House is a British crime-drama television series. The third episode of season one centers around a young woman named Jane who has been running away from something or someone. The episode airs on ITV.
The episode starts with Tom, the previous policeman turned private security guard and his wife Sam, waking up to the sound of someone banging on their door. It turns out to be their teenage daughter, who has returned home after running away, discovering that the house was empty and something had gone wrong. They have a brief conversation before rushing out to work, leaving their daughter with the housekeeper.
After a quick recap from the previous episode, Tom receives a call from his old boss, DS Mark Maxwell, who asks him to watch and protect a young woman named Jane, who is believed to be in danger. It turns out that Tom and Jane have a history as they were both working a case together when Tom was still a policeman.
As Tom and his colleague, Sam, start to set up the safe house, they discover that Jane is suffering from paranoia and refuses to leave the house. During their discussions, Jane shares that she believes that someone is following her, and that she is not safe in the safe house. However, when Tom tries to ask her more questions, she shuts down, unwilling to share any more details.
As Tom and Sam continue to investigate Jane's case, they discover that she has been running away from something for the past year and that she's always been on the move to not be found. She also has a few fake identities under her name. In the meantime, Chris, who is Tom's next-door neighbor and a journalist, starts to investigate as well.
As the episode unfolds, the tension and stakes get higher as it becomes clear that someone is indeed after Jane. This leads to a chain of events that leaves Tom and his family in grave danger.
The episode also adds more depth to the characters of Tom and Sam as their past is explored, and they begin to reveal their feelings and concerns to each other. It delves deeper into their lives by showing the aftermath of a retired detective coming back to work in investigating dangerous cases.
Overall, the episode is an intense hour of suspense and drama, with plenty of twists and turns to keep viewers hooked. Safe House is an excellent series with a remarkable cast that helps bring the story to life.
