Victor's act of helping Kathy to steal the discarded files opens up a can of worms for Callum, a file outlining details of Dieter's involvement in bases which used slave labour and saw executions take place, Dieter vehemently denies ordering executions or any involvement. Victor becomes more outspoken, speaking loudly about courting Nazis, he draws the attention of Salter. Callum steals an important role for Harold, the content detailing the previously mentioned way in which the war could have been avoided. Now caught up again with Dieter, Frau Bellinghausen is sidelined, Callum relying on Harold to entertain her. On a lighter note Rachel puts on a fashion show, but Alex is starting to see that something is happening between his wife and Callum.
As is so often the case with a six or seven part serial there tends to be a lull in the middle, and this is is, the first forty minutes were a little lacking in content, covering old ground with the story returning to Dieter, and Cal and Rachel's relationship. The last twenty minutes however saw the show spring to life in typical Poliakoff style, Freddie Highmore arguably stole the show with his brilliant performance as Victor, it looks as if Victor's become a danger. Lindsay Duncan added her usual class, no wonder Poliakoff places her in so much of his work, I loved her scenes with Alfred Molina, the end was very touching.
A little less content, but saved by a wonderful ending 7/10
