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.

The writers have definitely read some Le Carre - a Swiss hospital and the daughter of an important figures from the "other side" feature heavily (am wary of spoilers) in one of his books.

Sorry last one: Dar is Israeli! So I think he's the traitor, right at the top of the cia. He knows Carrie saw him in the back of the car at end of the last season.

SurlyCue · 01/11/2015 22:24

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.

Yep sounds good to me.

Are the HB doctors jogging the ones who rehabbed Brodie after the heroin addiction? They were yum. Were they the same season as Zaf? Confused i thought he was season after?

Hassled · 01/11/2015 22:24

So presumably at some stage Saul will open the box and see a photo of dead Carrie?

Qwerty - I like the Dar theory - especially as Saul made such a song and dance to Allison about how they go back years and of course Dar wouldn't sell Saul down the river to appease the Germans. I think Dar would sell anyone down the river for tuppence.

Yeah you're right, Surly. HAD (yes, they rehabbed Brodie. And jogged in tight grey jogging bottoms. Good times.), didn't in fact appear with Zaf. That would have been too much.

TheSpottedZebra · 01/11/2015 22:27

HBD not HAD

Unless they've also killed Dave, and put his picture in the box, for Saul to see - ergo buying more time?

PseudoBadger · 01/11/2015 22:30

Poor Dave

dancemom · 01/11/2015 22:33

Someone remind me about Dar being in the back of a car?

TheSpottedZebra · 01/11/2015 22:33

Dave never stood a chance, did he?

Cocolepew · 01/11/2015 22:34

Dave was fucked either way

Lweji · 01/11/2015 22:35

Or maybe Carrie dead would be a specific message for Saul

TheSpottedZebra · 01/11/2015 22:36

I'm still concerned about the cucumber.
Maybe Dave likes cucumber?

Lweji · 01/11/2015 22:37

Shame they didn't go after Jeff instead...

SurlyCue · 01/11/2015 22:38

Maybe Dave's been saved by this plot to kill carrie? He could be happily carrying on his life as a plumber in stevenage blissfully unaware of the lucky escape hes had. Grin

Cocolepew · 01/11/2015 22:41

I never saw the cucumber. Was it central to the plot do you think?

TheSpottedZebra · 01/11/2015 22:46

Aww Surly, that's a lovely way of looking at it.

TheSpottedZebra · 01/11/2015 22:47

Coco, the cucumber portion was right on the table in Quinn's lair as Carrie woke up.
He doesn't look like a salady type, and I doubt he was using it on tired eyes.

Cocolepew · 01/11/2015 22:53
Shock
Cocolepew · 01/11/2015 22:56

Ive Googled do weasles eat cucumbers but it wasnt very enlightening.

SurlyCue · 01/11/2015 22:56

I'm an optimist Grin

The cucumber was random, wasnt it? Confused

Eachleechsparethumb · 01/11/2015 22:57

Allison is a traitor. Saul definitely didn't know the plane would blow up.

TheSpottedZebra · 01/11/2015 23:01

A hungry weasel would eat a cucumber, I reckon.

TheSpottedZebra · 01/11/2015 23:02

See, I miss all the obvious things, and I can't tell an Ivan from another Ivan, but I saw the cucumber.
And I am now fixated on the cucumber.
