Episode 3 of Slow Horses Season 2 starts with Min in deep trouble... until the camera pans out and shows him sitting across the table from the two Russian security goons. It turns out this was just one big ruse, and they knew he'd been following since Min left the park. Despite getting blind drunk and cracking jokes the whole time, Min does manage to make it out in one piece. River heads to Upshott under his new alias. It's a risky game but Jackson is essentially using River as a pawn to flush out the cicada killer, whom he believes is Chernitsky. River has no idea that he's bait, but just then, Lamb receives a call from someone confirming that one of his agents is dead.
So who is that agent? Well, it's actually Min. After leaving the Russians, he ended up being hit by a car while heading back home on his bike. Lamb and Catherine arrive on the scene and immediately start sniffing about, realizing that this isn't as simple as it looks. River is stuck in deep water now and this undercover profile seems to be a recipe for disaster. If River makes the wrong move he could well end up killed for his actions. Quite how deep this conspiracy goes though, remains to be seen. Learning that Min didn't actually die from the hit and run, and that this Rebecca wasn't driving the car hints that he's been killed the same way that Dickie was. Min's death is certainly a shocking development and not something many of us saw coming! Thankfully though there's light at the end of this tunnel, as the team are now more determined than ever to track down the cicadas and get to the bottom of what's happening. Catherine has to break the news to Louisa, who's understandably crushed. As for Lamb, he heads back to the office with Min's smartwatch, intending to figure out exactly where he's been. Louisa wants to jump straight back into work again, and Lamb eventually allows her to do so. Lamb is also hot on the heels of those in Upshott and, in particular, the suspicious barmaid. River is unaware of all of this of course, given he's working undercover, but he does learn that the barmaid can fly private aircraft. Once there, River manages to get a few minutes to himself and he works to snap some pictures of the office.
