After last week's opening episode more questions are raised; we don't know who the kidnappers are or what they want and the only obvious lead is quickly eliminated; there is even the possibility that the wrong child was taken. The mystery over the 'suicide' of Samir Meshal; his suicide note suggests he was having an affair but his wife is certain that he wasn't; Hugh Hayden-Hoyle of MI6 is inclined to agree with her. The other woman, an American, is in the UK and he confronts her with his beliefs and when they are confirmed he believes she is in danger; another loose end to be cleaned up. Meanwhile there are more hints at protagonist Nessa Stein's secret and how it was connected to events in the Gaza Strip eight years previously.
This was a good second episode; the mystery deepened nicely and more questions were raised. It was nice to see more of Stephen Rea's character, Hayden-Hoyle, as he does such a fine job in the role the scene where he spoke to Meshal's apparent mistress was a delight. It was nice to see more questions being raised concerning Neesa without telling us just what the secret she is determined to keep is; we just know it involves her kidnapping in Gaza. The story continues to be plot rather than action led but that didn't mean there weren't moments of violence. Overall another gripping episode that left me wanting to see more.
