Asylum - S01E01: Strange Bedfellows

After a year in the El Rican embassy under the threat of extradition to America, Dan is bored, depressed and has little hope of getting out. Largely forgotten by the media and at odds with the ambassador's son Rafael, his only chance is to push his case in an interview with the Guardian. The embassy staff are struggling to attract people to the annual embassy ball since Dan is old news and nobody wants to come, so Rafael decides to offer sanctuary to another international fugitive: a childlike, internet pirate called Ludo Backslash.
