Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan - 1x02 - French Connection
God i loved this scene. it's so quietly on point and subtly whumpy for less obvious reasons.
Firstly, the continuity is *chef's kiss* - there's his usual set of scars, yes, but also there's new bruises, because he's been through something.
Secondly, i love the people find out trope, and whilst the ambush on the base camp wasn't a secret, and that Jack had to fight, to have it all up there, laid bare and recorded for a whole room full of people to watch, powerful people at that... yum.
And of course, Jack's the first to look away from the screen, he lived it.
