E01
解决Tom乃至整个Section D的麻烦,Adam以天使的身份出场。Tom开始犹豫怀疑,Adam开始就是一个smooth bastard,结尾还像Tom传授不受伤害的秘诀——not to care。
Adam去骗女特工的那部分很精彩。
E02
这集设置的诺奖得主是MI530年前安排的线人。
Tom对化学家说You let Harry Pearce recruit you. Don’t you fancy it? Famous scientist? Famous spy? 化学家若有所悟的说oh,is that what’s on my file? Vain, susceptible to flattery? 其他人都尴尬了几秒。遗憾的是,化学家说的没错,file里写的也没错,可惜Tom后来忘了。
这集的转折点在化学家和Tom的讨论,化学家说You know the really horrible thing? I could almost enjoy this. When I was talking to that young man, I was this gambling, criminal chemist. I was this other self. Tom的回应是You have to put your real self in a box, and only when you come to home, you open up the box and say “hello, real me”化学家接着问 what if the box got lost? Tom回答 You’d have to reinvent yourself. 本集后面的剧情基本验证两人的谈话。
Adam作为麻烦的解决者一直镇定、清醒、掌控一切同时又没什么感情。Tom暴走后,马上判断出其行动,Ruth问Is that a guess? Adam平静地说A certain guess。之后就是Zoe用复杂的眼神看他。
Tom和所有人闹翻后,Adam不忘提醒Harry,Check he hasn’t got armed. 专注补刀,之后其他人都走后,Tom问Adam,Do you understand?Adam回答,no, sorry。两个人的关系到此为止,可惜这个剧不能弄成双男主。
E03
这集是Tom走后的第一集,编剧开始全力塑造adam的形象。
Adam向各界人士施展魅力。先是Adam安抚暴躁的danny。然后是对Ruth,flattery and flirting,可惜这个轻松愉快的形象没维持多久。
好看的是Adam新老雇主的较量,也是Adam树立威信的一集。Catch me if you can,实在是精彩,节奏感十足 。
结尾有一点失落,要保护的人被杀,快乐稍纵即逝,努力付之东流,什么都不可靠,只有一样毫无疑问,Adam这家伙真不错。
莎士比亚又出现了,When my love swears that she is made of truth , I do believe her though I know she lies, therefore I lie with her and she with me, and in our faults by lies we flattered be.
E04
Make up an unfaithful girlfriend story, haha,量体裁衣。欺骗保安,入室行窃(配乐很重要),千钧一发,然后装出一副伤心无害的样子。
这集是关于家人的,有harry的女儿,Zoe的男友,Adam的妻子,最后这家人是最潇洒的,几乎到了让旁人瞠目结舌的地步,这种轻松的状态挺好的,可惜不会维持几集,Adam什么都不在乎的日子就结束了 。
(对于Adam,什么I’ve just had to watch my wife kissing a man who described me as a middle-ranking spook.) 对Fiona,借Adam之口这样形容it requires a woman who’s ruthless, immoral, vicious and utterly lacking in human sympathy,Adam说完后Ruth有点惊慌,Adam还安抚一下not you,Ruth。然后很自豪的说my wife
开始Adam被报业大亨鄙视了,叫他middle-ranking spook,结尾狠狠的报复了一下,手段当然不那么合法,但就像剧中说的our ends are good.
E05
这集的主角是danny和ruth,两条线,都不是多惊险的故事,但拍的很好看。Ruth那条线非常的Austin,波澜不惊却让人感受到强烈的感情,又好像期待了很久,经历了很多,最后什么都没发生,让人怅然若失。
Danny第一次谋杀,心理表现很细腻,尽管过程实在说不上有多波折。
E06
编剧对自己笔下游走在法律甚至道德边缘的特工们一直持怀疑态度,这集干脆来了一个审判。
Adam 对质疑很强硬,If we creep around in the dark, it’s because we have to, cos there are people out there who also move in the dark. You can question our methods, we do that all the time, but don’t question our motives.
E07
这集第一次提到Wes,为写家庭生活做伏笔,Adam开始有薄弱环节了。
这集主角是ruth,还有尚未从zoe离开的悲伤中走出的danny,adam发挥的比较少。案件比较无聊,反派是一个geek。
E08
摇滚歌手这集其实是很讽刺的一集。前面轻松,有不少调侃比如harry作为chief spook去查绑架案,被评价一点都不像007.还有Adam对当事人夫妇表现的各种微表情,都挺好玩。
这集malcolm nerd的性格表现的很好玩,先是执着于call sign,被每个人忽略,然后在Adam担心妻子时说Other people’s pleasures are so boring.
Adam亮点很多,和女记者吃饭,和hurry发飙,被fiona和其他人打,还有meeting time被fiona叫回家。
Fiona正式加入。
E09
Interrogation 与interview 交叉
审讯开始前,Danny说This guy’ll have spent his life doing anti-interrogation courses. Adam 很酷的来了一句,And I’ve spent half my career devising them.
Adam 和 fiona讨论颜色时的对话也很有意思,对应Morgan的质问,当时Adam的回答很肯定,现在我们看到一个不太肯定的Adam。
Well, what about these two? Cobalt blue pt azure? They both look the same to me.
Yeah. Well, they’re not.
Well, here’s another cobalt blue, but it’s different. I mean, how do I know? There must be a book or something that tells you what color cobalt blue really is, gives you a definitive color.
I think you’re taking this truth thing a bit too far. Stop being so literal-minded. This is home. It’s real life.
There has to be a benchmark, so everyone knows what they’re doing.
I’m just saying, how can I decide if I can’t tell the difference?
而harry面试时被问的问题其实是这季反复问的:Is there anything you don’t do? Does the present climate put anything off limits? Or does the end always justify the means?
E10
Adam不在那么什么都不在乎了,甚至几乎崩溃,但还只是几乎,即使在妻子做人质的情况下,骗起人来仍不失水准。
这季结束,但对Adam来说,虐身虐心都才刚刚开始。
