On the night each of their previous relationships have gone down in flames, con man and criminal Charlie Nicoletti (Milo Ventimiglia) and CIA Agent Emma Hill (Catherine Haena Kim) meet in a hotel bar and spend the next 36 hours together. The “Pilot” episode captures their meeting, and the couple other run-ins between the pair, but is primarily focused on their separate lives with Charlie’s criminal family (Sarah Wayne Callies, Polly Draper, and William Fichtner) getting the bulk of the screentime. For Emma we get the standard “too smart to be listened to” set-up for her character that, like Charlie, sees things others miss.
