Viktor Bala’s Connection To Foxglove Explained
The CIA Director Who Created Foxglove Also Gave Viktor A K. Y. Gas Vial
A key accusation the Balas throw at the US doesn’t have anything to do with Viktor using chemical weapons against his people or not, but with the supposed authorization Viktor had from the US. Indeed, with the chemical used being the newly-invented K. Y. gas,Viktor always maintained how the US had supplied that new generation of chemical weapons. The US government’s behavior is perceived as an injustice by the Balas because Viktor is left on his own following the K. Y. attack after they knew how severe its use was going to be given how they had created it.
While Foxglove was an explorative, off-the-book program to defend people from the development of future chemical weapons via the creation of antidotes, the gifting of one of them to Bala neutralized the program’s original intentions.

The Night Agent Season 3: Cast, Story & Everything We Know
Netflix’s The Night Agent is one of the most popular action series currently streaming today, and the show has already earned a third season.
Viktor Bala was disgraced in the international community because the US authorizing the use of the K. Y. gas couldn’t be proved, asthe person who created Foxglove as a program and even discussed using the K. Y. gas on Bala’s people was being protected by the UN.Jacob Monroe’s mission for Peter inThe Night Agentseason 2eventually revealed it was the Democratic candidate Knox who headed the CIA when Foxglove was created and who handed the K. Y. sample to Viktor, making the Balas’ grudge against the UN reasonable as they had hid the truth for years.
Why The Bala Family Is Targeting The UN With Foxglove Chemical Agents
Attacking The UN In NY Would Have Made The US & The UN Pay For Hitting Viktor
The Balas’ plan shared with Tomás would have vindicated Viktor by proving the US had created the K. Y. gas by exposing their mobile laboratory. However,Viktor and Markus Bala had entirely different plans to make the US pay. Indeed, going far beyond the revealing of the truth,Viktor wanted to attack the US with the K. Y. gas so that the people of the country whose government left him in the gutter would pay a steep price.
The Night Agentintroducing new Night Agent operatives, new assets and new villains helped create an entirely different and fresh narrative in season 2 compared to season 1’s story.
Viktor chose the UN Headquarters in NY as the perfect place to attack as theGeneral Assembly would have been reunited to discuss the cutting up of his previous territories ahead of his trial at The Hague, which was seen as already in the pocket because the evidence that proved the US involvement was accurately hidden away. Hitting the UN building in New York during that discussion would have thus had a double meaning inThe Night Agentseason 2’s ending, as it would mean making the US and the UN pay for their hand in Viktor Bala going down.
The Night Agentseason 2 is now streaming in its entirety on Netflix.
