Here - scroll down a bit.

There's Quinn. There's Saul. There's the old bag-over-the-head routine. It's in Berlin. I am ridiculously excited.

Israelis bombed the plane?

TheSpottedZebra · 01/11/2015 22:01

Hair might possibly be a better baddie than Tasneem. And she was excellent.

They should make a series of them, just being evil and tossing their fabulous manes.

LocalEditorKent · 01/11/2015 22:02

I think the cigarette pack she passed him was rigged...

Lweji · 01/11/2015 22:03

Now, if you own a bullet proof vest, why wouldn't you wear it when delivering sensitive information ?

Namechanger2015 · 01/11/2015 22:03

Wtf?! Didn't expect that! Don't want to wait another week to see what happens!

TheSpottedZebra · 01/11/2015 22:03

Or the money they loaded on? The cigarettes surely weren't big enough.

Er, to be clear, like it isn't already, I know NOTHING about explosives.

or do I?

TheSpottedZebra · 01/11/2015 22:04

Maybe it was in the wash, Lweji?

LocalEditorKent · 01/11/2015 22:04

Good point, could have been in the money or the hospital bed?

PseudoBadger · 01/11/2015 22:05

Oh yes she could've bombed the plane, that is better

TheSpottedZebra · 01/11/2015 22:06

Or they could have implanted an EXPLODING KIDNEY into the daughter.
Hair would do that. She is baaad.

SurlyCue · 01/11/2015 22:07

Okaaayyy! Wtf just happened with the plane? Who planted a bomb on it? I'm guessing it was in with the money so redhead? She didnt seem too surprised by it.

Also, what I want to know is how Saul isnt aware that Quinn has been back at the drop box. They must have arranged a signal that Quinn has returned a phone to it so Saul can collect it and leave a new name. So as it currently stands Saul gave the name of the bomb maker for Quinn to kill and as far as Saul knows Quinn hasnt yet done it? Am I right? Or has Saul collected the phone from that kill and not yet given another name? So as far as he knows Quinn is just waiting around to hear from him again? Its not making sense that someone else is doing the drops yet has somehow managed to work out how to signal Quinn as if they are Saul.

Cocolepew · 01/11/2015 22:07

Ohhhhhhhh. I think it was her.
That guaze Carrie put on weasle boy wouldn't stop a nosebleed Hmm

Hassled · 01/11/2015 22:07

Holy Moly! An exploding kidney!

OP posts:
Lweji · 01/11/2015 22:12

Exploding kidney, of course...

TheSpottedZebra · 01/11/2015 22:12

Unless, Surly the bad people swapped a real name - eg Dave - for Carrie's. So Saul thinks that Quinn is busily killing Dave, and is waiting for the proof to show it's been done.

That post office official is in on it, isn't he? And was the woman dropping post a stooge to play for time?

And was the killer one of the many Putin-a-likes we keep on seeing?

Hassled · 01/11/2015 22:13

Carrie's redeemed herself somewhat this episode - and more outstanding acting from Claire Danes.

I'd forgotten the field of Hot Beardy Doctors - those were good times:o. And I like Ivan the Stereotype Russian Baddie - he'll go far in the baddie stakes.

I can't see the link between Allison wanting Quinn and Carrie dead, and Allison wanting Syrian General dead. Were we meant to assume she was unsurprised by the exploding kidney?

Also - MNHQ - thank you very much for the thread title edit.

TheSpottedZebra · 01/11/2015 22:15

We were spoilt that series (HB Docs, jogging!), weren't we? And Zaf too.

Now, we just get 25 Ivans, and Phil Tufnell and Brodie II - the poor imitation. And a surly angry weasel, although he was none of those things this week.

PseudoBadger · 01/11/2015 22:16

She's either a Russian or Israeli double agent is that right?
Israel were clear that Assad should not be replaced - therefore plane blows up.
She answers phone of Carrie/Quinn killer in Russian.
Maybe she's selling exploding kidneys on the black market. Too offal to contemplate.

Qwertybynature · 01/11/2015 22:16

I think the redhead handed the bomb to the Syrian before he got on the plane. I also think she's working for Dar (head of CIA), and it was him who put Carrie on the hit list. i think Saul thinks he has the red head where he wants her but actually he's bring played by her via Dar. She's working with Saul to keep Saul thinking he's in control of his operations but actually he's not, and they're both letting him think that to keep him distracted.

Phew. I couldn't type that quick enough!

How bad was Carrie's wig?

Lweji · 01/11/2015 22:16

I think pretty sure that red haired is in with the Russians.

My previous thoughts were that Carrie posed a risk as she'd be likely to help Saul deal with the eventually obvious treason.
Or maybe they thought she has sensitive information, even if she doesn't know it.

SurlyCue · 01/11/2015 22:19

Unless, Surly the bad people swapped a real name - eg Dave - for Carrie's. So Saul thinks that Quinn is busily killing Dave, and is waiting for the proof to show it's been done.

Ahh yes. Smart. So the only thing is that Saul will twig on when he opens the box and there isnt a photo of dead dave.

Post man is definitely in on it. I wonder if he is switching the names? He could have a master key?

Carrie did well this week.

Qwertybynature · 01/11/2015 22:20

I also think the redhead has access to the postal deposit because Saul would've told her as a bit of pillow talk. So that's how Carrie's name ended up in there.

Just noticed the change of thread title. Did someone post a spoiler?

TheSpottedZebra · 01/11/2015 22:20

Hair answered the phone by saying Da, didn't she? Yes in Russian. So that points to the Russians I guess! So was she meant to be selling CIA secrets to the Ivans, but those hackers chaps intercepted it and one sent them to Tuffers Inc.

So they had to kill hackers (1 down...) and Carrie to keep the fact that she was selling secrets, from being discovered. And at the same time, Saul is snooping, and making the Syria play. So she shags Saul and explodes a kidney.

My theory may need a bit of refinement.

Roonerspism · 01/11/2015 22:21

Why didn't Carrie shag Quinn? What a waste. Or was there more meaning to the cucumber?
