In the long-awaited second season of the BBC/Prime Video spy thriller, Calva was introduced as Jonathan Pine's (Tom Hiddleston) new antagonist, a young Mexican-Colombian arms dealer who turns out to be the biological son of Pine's archnemesis Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie). Following the suspicious death of his superior Rex Mayhew (Douglas Hodge), who had been investigating a potential high-level leak within MI6 connected to the shipment of weapons to Colombia, Pine secretly infiltrated Teddy's criminal enterprise under the alias of Matthew Ellis.

Pine learned that Roxana was a Miami-based shipping broker whose company was owned by Teddy's organization, and she had willingly participated in a suspicious shipment of machine tools between the U.K. and Colombia. Despite the fact that they could both blow each other's cover, Pine used Roxana to get closer to the center of Teddy's operation, which involved using illegally smuggled weapons to train a private army looking to overthrow the Colombian government. As it turns out, Teddy was not the actual brains of the operation; he was always doing the bidding of Roper, who had faked his death in Egypt years earlier and has been attempting to rebuild his empire while hiding out in Colombia. After Pine's alias was revealed, he managed to get Teddy alone and played him secret recordings of Roper revealing that he never intended to acknowledge Teddy as a true heir. In fact, Roper's only loyalty has always remained with his other son, Danny (Noah Jupe), who he plans to visit at a boarding school in England. Feeling betrayed by the only father he has ever known, Teddy secretly teamed up with Pine in the finale to redirect the final shipment of weapons in order to give international authorities the evidence they would need to put away Roper for good. After being tipped off by Roxana, who subtly suggested that Teddy has been working with Pine, Roper hatches a plan to use two different planes, sending the empty plane to the authorities and the real plane to the militants in the jungle. Once he fulfilled his end of the bargain with the militia, Roper, without flinching, shoots Teddy in the head in front of Pine, whose hands were literally and figuratively tied. "I think Teddy's journey should end the way it ends because Teddy is the soul of this season," Calva tells The Hollywood Reporter of that brutal ending. "And if we kept him alive, the season and the journey of all the other characters will lose strength. Of course, it's sad that Teddy dies, and it's painful. But I was really, really happy when I read the beautiful writing of David [Farr]. He killed Teddy because that's what makes Pine's story come [back] even stronger. "And now, Pine has a reason to continue," Calva continues. "Roper kills Pine's only brother. Pine's mother [figure Angela, played by Olivia Colman, who was also killed off in the season two finale] just betrayed him, too. Now, his only friend just died in the hands of his most horrible enemy." Calva has died on camera before, but he jokes that filming Teddy's death scene was particularly memorable because his own mother was on set that day. "Hugh Laurie, just before entering the set and killing me, hugged my mother and said, 'Sorry, I have to kill our son,'" Calva recalls with a laugh. "That's still a joke my mom likes to tell." Roxana's ending, meanwhile, is left open-ended. After turning on both Pine and Teddy to save herself, Roxana is last seen at the airport preparing to board a flight back to Miami. "I'd be curious to see where she would go," Morrone says, confirming that she has not had any discussions with Farr about her potential involvement in the final season he is writing now. "I do think that there is something in Roxy where she is addicted to the thrill and the game, and it fills a very big void in her heart." Calva and Morrone spoke to THR in separate conversations about their characters' respective arcs and relationships with Pine and Roper. Morrone also offers a tease for her next project, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, ex
