Does the CIA Agent Handler Xander Goi Die in Netflix’s ‘The Recruit’?

In The Recruit, Xander is a CIA handler and. as such has a good idea of espionage and information warfare. As such, he’s controlling, manipulative, deceitful, and goal-oriented. He’s clearly not a big fan of Owen, nor does he think that Owen is very smart, instead assuming the latter’s complete naivete.

After Owen escapes from the crazed unvetted CIA operative, Max, and meets him in Vienna, Xander tells him that he’s never worked with Max and doesn’t know much about her. But how trustworthy can Xander the CIA schemer really be?
