Warning: Spoilers ahead for Steal
Zara (Sophie Turner) is having a run-of-the-mill bad day, hungover from yet another night out and tasked with showing the new intern around at her dead-end job at London’s (fictional) Lochmill Capital, a pension investment company.

She was dragged into the heist because, according to Milo, Zara is “the biggest mess in the office,” stuck in her job and drinking every weekend. She’s deeply unhappy, he explains. Nobody would bat an eye if she were killed and staged to look like a suicide, as she’d buckle under the pressure of pulling off such a feat. In short, she’d make the perfect fall guy. The news crushes Zara, but she realizes Milo isn’t the mastermind behind it all—he’s only ever spoken to the person online. Milo was given £20 million, while she and Luke…
