    It ends very well.

    The whole reason for Naomi's kidnap is explained, only this time she has more to lose.

    This series definitely improved as time went on, every episode has been very different, and for me, this concluding part was the best of them. They explain the events of episode one, we also learn more about King.

    John Hannah has been absolutely terrific, and does arguably steal the show.

    Why didn't they just change a few letters and lines on it.

    Take the plot from Carry on Spying, make it serious, ass in the brilliance of Trevor Eve and John Hannah, and you have Kidnap and Ransom.

    Very good. 8/10.
