The Ambassador - Season 1 (1998)

The new British Ambassador to the Republic of Ireland, Harriet Smith, arrives in Dublin to discover that the Irish government is accusing the British of sinking one of their ships in the Irish Sea. Smith partners with MI6 agent John Stone to uncover the truth.

Ambassador Smith gives the battered British wife of a Saudi diplomat refuge in the embassy after he beats her up and attempts to kidnap their son. The decision may have major repercussion for the Irish government, which is trying to win the release of Irish nurses who were arrested in Saudi Arabia for drinking.

When a young British girl is arrested for drug smuggling, Ambassador Smith discovers that the girl works at the same bar as her 19-year-old son, Nate. Smith and MI6 Agent John Stone investigate illegal activity at the bar but their inquiry is disrupted by a bomb threat at the embassy.
