5.9 [re-watch]

[JHyde]

Ros baby-sits a war criminal and Adam comes up against an old foe. Or is it friend?

This is probably my joint fave episode of this season along with 5.3. I love seeing where Ros might have been earlier in her life (she has some hilarious moments in this episode), RPJ turns in one of his best performances on the show (I love how cold he gets as soon as he leaves the sister's house) and the plot is great. It is a very believable premise, the job of caretaking a war criminal just for the present, despite all the terrible things they might have done - that's been done a few times for real. And the use of the old school spy stuff is just brilliant.

I think this episode is a great example of a story that stands alone. It's clever and suspenseful and works really well.

Am I the only one who thinks Ros' old beau is a real drip and that the wife and Ros are so much better than he deserves?
