Not that he will have to give it up but that it will be his downfall because he can't or won't give it up or if he did it would be worthless because the fickle finger of fate set the ball rolling too fast for him to stop. In the tradition of Greek tragedy, of course. He will, in the end, experience a catharsis and a change of fortune. Might die. Might not. Doesn't have to. Sometimes they are just blinded - literally and symbolically speaking. Although even that might be a bit OTT even for Spooks. Sometimes they are just exiled. Or lose everything and remain in their community as a pariah. But always with a deeper understanding of themselves.

To my mind the goal is not clear yet. Finding out who killed Max Witt, and why, perhaps?

OR...

I could be taking one little phrase from a PF interview, over analyzing it and blowing it completely out of proportion. You be the judge....
