The Innocent

[Prismark10 · 7/10 · 1 June 2020]

Nazim Malik has been held without charge for two years under terrorist detention laws. Harry has him released so he can keep track on him to find out what he is up to next.

Soon after being released, Nazim makes contact with a radical person. However Harry later comes across information that Nazim Malik was wrongfully detained after being confused with another terrorist with the same name.

This Nazim Malik just wants to keep his family safe but in doing so he might have done a deal with the devil.

A good tense story of a man wronged by the system during the post 9/11 hysteria.

Harry realises that vital information was withheld relating to Nazim Malik. Zafar is reluctant to obey a direct order to shoot.

Not the best Season 4 episode

[IanIndependent · 6/10 · 28 July 2021]

Not the best of this series but still decent thrills and spills to keep the interest. Ponderous in places by comparison with other titles in the season and the ending is a all end happily convoluted mix of inanity and sentimentality more suited to a American cop drama.

However, we do get a little look into the character of Zaf and the episode does ask a questions about those wrongly imprisoned, what it can do to them and also who answers for the mistake and its consequences.
