6/10

The second episode is rather hard boiled. The series is still trying to find its feet and this one is more John Le Carre rather than James Bond.

Joseph Baresh (Albert Paulsen) is Mister Memory. He has a photographic memory and the power of total recall.

Daniel Briggs wants Baresh to be arrested in a Balkans country and be put behind bars as an enemy agent codenamed 'Sparrow.' He will be interrogated and tortured.

Briggs ia making sure Baresh can withstand torture and elicit the information that needs to be imparted in a convincing fashion.

The intent is to destabilise the bellicose Soska who is interrogating him. Soska is a man on the up and dangerous with it.

The rest of the IMF team need to make sure that Baresh can be rescued in time.

That is the second episode in a row where there was a guest IMF agent with unusual skills. Baresh would never show up again.
