Catherine Standish, played by Saskia Reeves, is taken by a mysterious man. The Horses, led by Jackson Lamb, are trying to find out who is behind the incident. Shirley Dander, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, and Marcus Longridge head to Catherine's home, but she hasn't returned since the previous day. Louisa Guy, Rosalind Eleazar, follows Catherine's final moments to a nearby coffee shop, but takes longer to find the car left behind, as predicted by Lamb. River Cartwright, Jack Lowden, is in MI5 HQ to obtain documents requested by kidnappers. However, he faces opposition from Nick Duffy, Chris Reilly, and Diana Taverner, Kristin Scott Thomas. Duffy is disliked by both characters, and they seem to have a mutual dislike for each other. Diana takes pleasure in rubbing one up the wrong way, even if it helps the other out. This situation is not well-planned or planned. Catherine's life is in danger, and if Cartwright doesn't get the file by midday, she will be killed. The main characters are all involved, except for Lamb, who is calm and sarcastic. The episode is a strong one for season three, with all main characters involved, except for Lamb, who is questioning if he knows something they don't. The episode explores the kidnappers and their race against time, with an intense break-in to Park. The subplots are well-constructed and surprising, with a touch of humor and tension. The situation has escalated to another level, leaving the audience to guess what will happen next. The story is well-constructed and intense, with Jackson seemingly knowing more than he's letting on. In episode 2 of Slow Horses season 3, River is tasked with obtaining the Prime Minister's vetting files from Regent's Park, as he is blackmailed into giving up information. Spider (James Webb) is also involved, and a laser pointer is placed on Spider's chest to show their seriousness. River is tasked with leaving, but only after taking a fake diamond from Spider's tie. Spider's family's lives are on the line. River rushes to Regent's Park Station and hands over a diamond to Duffy, who is suspicious of its authenticity. Duffy asks River to tag along while they investigate. Taverner saves him and takes him into her office. River is a walking disaster, but he has 20 minutes to get the files. Taverner, aware of something afoul, doesn't say anything and lets him go, watching as he heads down to the basement. Jackson discovers the kidnappers of Catherine, while River races around the building. After finding the file, River is stopped by Jackson, who tells him to leave before he "screws them all." Molly advises River to leave through a service hatch. Catherine's kidnappers are not bad, but they promise to move her in 20 minutes, keep her well-fed, and apologize for the gun incident. River, who escapes Park, receives a call from Jackson, who confirms a Tiger Team has Catherine. However, he is stopped by Duffy and his goons, who bundle him into a car.
