2. Amador’s Death

(“Safe House,” season 1, episode 9)

In order to keep their cover, the Jennings must kill FBI Agent Amador (Maximiliano Hernandez), who just so happens to be Beeman’s friend and partner. The episode is a look at both how far the Jennings will go to protect the mission, and also at Stan’s increasing detour into behavior inappropriate for an upstanding FBI agent (he later avenges his partner’s death by killing, in cold blood, the Russian whom he believes to be responsible). The effects of that killing are still reverberating with Stan three seasons later.
