A tense, globe-spanning sequence for Pilgrim’s double life: measured electronic pulses and shadowy score-like instrumentals give way to songs about surveillance, moral compromise, pursuit, and the cost of living under an assumed identity. The shifts in scale and intensity echo the story’s movement from a difficult murder investigation toward a much wider collision with terror.
