The Endgame, starringMorena BaccarinandRyan Michelle Bathé, follows the world’s most wanted criminal mastermind toying with authorities, all while she’s in their custody.
The trailer for the high-stakes drama begins with international arms dealer and military strategist, Elena Federova (Baccarin), as she “runs an international organization with soldiers for hire, loyal to no country.”

Confused, the lead interrogator frantically checks his pockets and asks, “Who’s the queen?”
He then finds a note that reads “I’m the queen” as the camera cuts back to a smiling Elena. “Have I gotten your attention?” she slyly says.
While others may be unfamiliar with Elena’s schemes, one FBI agent, Valerie Turner (Bathé), has plenty of background knowledge — and she’ll stop at nothing to halt Elena’s game plan.
“Agent Valerie Turner, I’ve been hoping to meet you. I was untouchable until you. You’re impressive,” Elena tells her as the women meet face-to-face for the first time.
“You have no idea who you’re dealing with,” Valerie says before Elena responds: “For what it’s worth, we are going to be partners.”
With tensions high, Elena lets Valerie in on her ploy — including why she would rob seven banks “but not for money” — and as it turns out, the deadly truth behind it all could stem back to Valerie.
“This personal connection to me, it’s the key to whatever her goal is,” Valerie explains.
“What’s in motion will eclipse you, the FBI and the government,” Elena announces. “You’re going to learn a lot, Agent Turner.”
