The Russian
Adam is in denial, unable to grieve for Fiona. Hugo Ross, an old cold-war traitor, is approached by MI5. The son of the now dead Soviet spy who recruited Hugo is in Britain. The son is as passionate about capitalism as the father was about communism and the UK Government is toying with allowing the son to save the NHS by buying it. MI5 are unconvinced by the son and independently set out to discover the son’s true motives. Adam insists on working on the operation but it quickly becomes apparent that he’s unable to cope. Harry sends him to the secret service psychiatric hospital. The team discover the son’s ultimate aim is to buy the NHS and strip it of its assets; Britain will lose its NHS. Appalled by the son’s free market values, Hugo helps MI5 destroy the son’s reputation, ensuring the government is no longer able to ignore the son’s unethical business dealings. Adam spars with his psychologist before walking out, re-joining the operation and leading it to success. Only then is he able to begin to grieve.

The Sting
The world is on the brink of war with Iran and, despite the Government’s reluctance to go to war again in this climate of playing lap-dog to America, the UK may be forced to do so. Harry is determined to remind everyone that MI5 is not a CIA outstation, so when the team catches the CIA illegally extraditing another British/Iranian citizen (Khurvin) based on a flimsy terrorism charge, Harry makes a stand and forces the CIA to release him. Khurvin subsequently murders his MI5 surveillance team and Harry is suspended. Juliet takes control of the Grid and tasks the team to recapture Khurvin before he commits an act of terror and forces the country into war with Iran. As the team follows up clues, Harry, unable to face life outside the service, starts his own investigation into the case. Secretly liaising with Adam, both investigations lead them to Pollard, an American mercenary working on behalf of big businesses in the USA, businesses who will profit from another war. The team captures Khurvin and Pollard. Harry is reinstated.

Diana
On the eve of her stepbrother Peter’s suicide, Ruth is visited by his partner Angela, an ex-MI5 officer famous for her operational accomplishments. Angela asks Ruth for help in procuring evidence that proves MI5, and more specifically Harry, assassinated Lady Diana – the news of which ultimately brought about Peter’s suicide. Ruth dismisses the idea, but the following day Angela walks onto the Grid carrying a bomb big enough to explode the whole of Thames House. Angela forces the team to find evidence that MI5 killed Diana. The team searches through the night, building a story based on facts and conspiracy theories. It begins to look as though there might be truth to the claim, until Harry disproves it. Ruth finally gets through to Angela by constructing a ‘truth’ about her relationship with Peter. The team agrees to award Angela ‘victim in the field’ status and allow her to walk free, but as she disappears Ruth notices the Buckingham Palace security plans have gone missing. Forces are mobilised and the Royal Family evacuated to a bunker when Adam realises they are playing into Angela’s hands yet again - the bomb is in the bunker. They manage to dispose of the bomb and the Royal family is safe. Thwarted and furious, Angela seeks to take her revenge on Harry and Adam in a terrifying way.
