The Criminal
Prismark1029 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Spooks deals with the fall out from the break up of Yugoslavia.

Adam Carter was imprisoned and tortured by a Serb warlord during the conflict in the early 1990s.

It means Adam might not be in the best frame of mind when he has to hunt his friend and one time fellow agent Richard Dempsey.

He is now an assassin for the former warlords now turned gangsters. Dempsey is planning to assassinate a Serb commander who plans to give evidence against a notorious Serb General at a war crimes trial.

The commander is under MI5 protection and Harry Pearce orders Dempsey to be killed if it has to go that far.

Adam discovers that Dempsey is still an agent involved in black ops. It is a case of finding the evidence to exonerate him.

A story let down once again by the casting of Michael Maloney. You just know he is going to be a bad guy. It robs the episode of some intrigue.
