This was an interesting and provocative story of a radical Christian group targeting Muslim extremists.
When a Muslim radical cleric's trial collapses due to inadmissible evidence. He is assassinated at the steps of the court.
Later another radical cleric is killed in a suicide attack.
An anti Muslim organization called the Sons of Phineas claim responsibility. MI5 know little about this group.
Harry Pearce is concerned that a religious war will erupt in the streets of Britain.
Steven Paynton, who runs a homeless shelter becomes a person of interest who has a link with the group. The shelter attracts people who are ex military.
However it seems Paynton may have some powerful backers. One of them is a senior Christian cleric who advises the Prime Minister.
Adam Carter goes undercover to reel in Paynton. However he loses his focus when his son goes missing.
There was a lot of double dealing here and several issues to ponder. Someone else close to the Prime Minister was also sympathetic with Paynton's cause but the latter is now regarded as a liability.
The episode faltered when Mossad got involved and Adam seemed to be having a breakdown at an inopportune moment.
There was a nice bit when Harry Pearce mocks a sad government lawyer with their fondness of saying words like 'need to know basis.'
