The script was brilliantly written and edited, and Adam showed an even darker side to his nature than we already suspected. Now, we saw a callousness and hatred of this mercenary that became almost personal. It made me feel uncomfortable as you weren't sure how far Adam would go - he seemed solitary and at one point unable to see right from wrong. It was alo interesting that Adam only began to question his behaviour AFTER he had got the information about the missile; leaving the question, would he do the same thing again?

You're right. It also showed Harry's darker side, as we see that he is quite willing to let Adam do whatever is necessary to get the information, but to leave him (Harry) sufficient deniability. It was quite funny how Danny went to Harry with his concerns about Adam going too far, and Harry then promptly used the information about the sick daughter against the father. I also thought it said something about Harry that he went along when they used the daughter - at least he didn't leave Adam to deal with that very unpleasant task on his own.
