Reuel and Marty hope that Caleb Woolf will be the key to Joe's capture. Bob attempts to extract information from Joubert. In Riyadh, a plan is put into motion.
Sometimes American television get Oscar winning actors such as William Hurt or Mira Sorvino and wastes them.
They play generic characters and you think the actors are only there for the pay cheque and lend some prestige.
In this episode. Hurt just simply shines in smaller character moments. The flashback scenes with young Joe was a good example.
There was also some wonderful lines, something you do not expect in such serials. It seems someone just took some care over this episode.
There was a lot of ground to cover. Joe trying to contact his old friend Caleb. Marty Frost double guessing that Joe would do so.
Over in Saudi Arabia Nathan Fowler has put his plan in motion.
Halfway through the first season, this was the best episode so far. Plenty of intrigue and murkiness. If only some of the characters dressed less conspicuous while trying to be incognito.
