I help protect this country from the likes of you
This is the final scene of the first episode of the from-what-I’ve-seen-so-far-on-PBS fantastic show Spooks, aka MI-5 for us Americans. The domestic intelligence group have been investigating Mary Kane, an American religious fanatic whose husband is about to be executed for his role in abortion clinic bombings. They suspect Mary of orchestrating recent car bombings and fear that, on the day of her husband’s death, she’ll bring about another terrorist attack somewhere in Britain.
This scene starts near the end, with Mary trailing a doctor with a bag of bombs, and the titular spooks trailing Mary with faulty bomb-jamming equipment. Good stuff (ignore the Spanish subtitles…that is, unless you speak Spanish!).
