Storyline

As the team buries their dead colleague, a bomb goes off in a nearby market. The group, Shining Dawn, demands the release of their leader Michael Monroe or they will detonate another bomb in 10 hours. The CIA is involved since Shining Dawn has primarily directed its wrath at the US and Monroe is an American citizen. The group believes that mankind is a parasite destroying the Earth with its technology and believe that it will be destroyed unless humans are dramatically culled. Harry Pierce is less than pleased when a colleague, Juliette Shaw, suddenly re-appears and is appointed to help out given Fiona Carter's absence. She makes sure that what she knows about Harry's past will ensure a meaningful role for her. An ambush where a suspect is shot through the head tells Adam they have a mole in their midst. Their problems are compounded when one of the agents is taken prisoner.

Goofs

When Ruth Evershed is talking to the Professor Stephen Curtis he quotes something like "MacDonalds, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Mobile Phones" referring to the bad "advances" made in the world. She replies something like "I think mobiles are very useful, and I liked Les Mis". "Les Mis" or Les Miserables (the musical) was not written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, it was written by Claude-Michel Schonberg and Alain Boublil.

Quotes

Harry Pearce: ...their main animosity is directed towards America. Consequently, our knowledge of their cadres and cell structures is quite sketchy.
Richard Boyd: Sketchy?... Sketchy as in non-existent?
Harry Pearce: No. Sketchy as in your knowledge of Al-qaeda when they were learning to fly and sunning themselves in Florida.
