In the opening instalment of a two‑part series, the team is left reeling in the aftermath of a terrorist attack, trying to process the shock and loss. Determined to avenge Kate's death, they concentrate on gathering every scrap of intelligence they can on Ari.

Kill Ari – Part One is presented as a programme consisting of a single episode, forming the first half of a two‑part story. It falls within the episode genre and is identified simply as “Kill Ari – Part One,” indicating that it is the opening segment of a larger narrative. In this opening instalment the team finds itself reeling after a terrorist attack. The shock of the incident hangs over them, and the episode follows their immediate response to the chaos that has just unfolded. Their reactions are marked by a mix of disorientation and a drive to act. Motivation for their actions centres on avenging the death of Kate. The loss of their comrade fuels a determination to seek retribution, and the group channels that energy into a focused effort to uncover details about Ari, the individual linked to the tragedy. Their quest for vengeance is therefore intertwined with a methodical gathering of intelligence. Throughout the episode the team’s primary objective is to compile as much information as possible on Ari. This investigative push underscores the narrative’s tension, as each piece of data brings them a step closer to confronting the person they hold responsible for Kate’s death. The episode ends with the team still in pursuit, laying the groundwork for the story’s continuation in the second part.
