Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Porter’s life is in danger when he finds himself trapped in a rebels’ base in Pakistan. When he manages to escape, he learns that Hugh Collinson, the man he blames for the fatal hostage extraction of 2003, has arrived in Afghanistan to meet him for a final showdown.
Our Take
This is a tense, propulsive hour that finally drags the Porter and Collinson feud into the open, and the payoff mostly earns the buildup. Richard Armitage does a lot with quiet moments between the shootouts, though the escape sequence strains credibility more than once. The confrontation is too brief to fully satisfy, but the emotional weight lands. Worth your time if you’ve come this far.
