I've been revisiting some scenes from the episodes so far to see if they can trigger a few theories and I've hit upon these ideas (none radically new, I'm sure others have mentioned similar things, just thought I'd group them together!)

The CCTV footage that Tariq found of the laptop being handed over to the mystery woman has to be significant and will surely come to light again in E6 - it has to be Elena. Which would mean the attempted shooting of Elena on the park bench in E4 was faked as wasn't that the same woman who handed Elena the laptop (the CIA asset)?

Which would mean Elena knew it wasn't Jim Coaver who was running her, and presumably knows who it was instead (or in fact that no-one was and instead this was part of the ploy to dupe Harry).

Which leaves the question, is Elena working for the Russian ringleaders seen at the start of E1 in the house in Moscow, or is she in working with Ilya (or both)? I don't think Sasha's in on what's happening, I think he's more of a victim of the whole thing.

And finally how come noone's looked at the intel that Martha Forde bravely downloaded onto that USB stick from Ilya's laptop in E2 - surely that's the least Erin could have done to thank her!!

Well the moment i rewatched the CCTV footage i thought that the shadow looked like Elena, but then where does the duping with harry's codes etc. come in?

Series 10.6 Spoiler: show

is this where tom comes in?

Woudn't Elena have known the codes from before, when Harry ran her in Berlin? Just a thought, not sure myself either Wink

Well the mistake I've made when trying to work out what was going on was to consider "the Russians" as a single cohesive entity not consisting of various factions. This would apply to many present day countries. Can't help but be reminded of the 1991 Soviet coup attempt.

Still some questions remain. What does Tom do when he gets inside the 'Russia House'?
Does he have a cosy chat or does he kill Levrov? Harry's idea of dealing with Levrov? I'm not up on Tom's history so maybe others can offer some answers.

With Harry determinedly answering the phone at the very end I think he stays on at MI5.

Spooks is wide open for another series!

and that frightens me! Here we go again. But I really do not care, since I am not going to watch it anyway.

I really hope they don't do another series because Harry without Ruth would be just too painfull

FATBOY · 26-10-2011, 12:18 PM

OK I'm not trying to start another discussion about whether Spooks should continue or make any comment on the Harry/Ruth thing.

Just pointing out my own mistake and trying to workout/speculate what was going on.

Oh he's deadski comrade! No doubt about it! Our Tom will have served summary justice.

Absolutely agreed on your second point, loved the pause while the phone rang and the look of doubt in his eyes gave way to the old steely determination.

Maybe not a series chum, but the occasional 90minute special wouldn't go amiss. Very James Bond... "Sir Harry Pearce will return..." Even if they don't, at least we can sleep soundly in our beds knowing he's back in charge.
