Series 10 - Episode 2 Discussion

[molecatcher]

Watching this episode for a 2nd time I noticed from Gavrik's response as Martha hurried from the building that he appeared to already know she was a spy because he said it before being told and that would indicate to me he was a part of the wikileaks style internet site that was outing MI5 spies. I wonder if Gavrik somehow found out about Elena spying on him and forced her to pretend to Harry she has been sending information to an impersonator, after all when he and Harry first met up at the start of the series he said something along the lines of "Harry Pearce, I've thought of you every day for the past 30 years". That would also explain why it might be Elena collecting the briefcase, possibly on her husband's orders. The tragedy, Greek or otherwise, will be that Sasha is caught in the middle.

We still don't know who the girl was that phoned to confirm last week's assassin had been shot and who she was talking to, or do we? I'm guessing someone in MI6 is implicated because they'd have the technology required to hack phones and computers. If the information Martha retrieved from Gavrik's computer implicates him in the Iraq dirty deals we may discover who else is involved, not that I often correctly guess where Spooks is taking me!

Elena must have felt somewhat like Martha Forde felt? Martha Forde at least had the chance to run and hide, Elena had to live amongst those she betrayed for 30 years!

I agree with you, that was a parallel scenario to show just how terrifying it was for Martha to be cut loose to fend for herself after years of promises and Harry yet again making such a call may see it for himself and regret it before the series finishes.
