[FATBOY]

Well Kai is an interesting character.

It’s unclear at the beginning what his function is at the embassy. It appears he is a low ranking official or at least that’s what MI5 seem to think, Beth tells him he’s “not that important” when she is trying to turn him. But then he is able to inform them that the embassy are aware of the break in (at the dead of night) as it is happening. Is he doing overtime or what? Kai does then ‘turn’ quickly.

If I’m not mistaken Kai’s boss turns out to be Shao - the CSS section head. He is also able to turn the tables, at gun point, on two of the highly trained CSS squad when the van is stopped by Lucas, Beth and SO19.

It’s all a bit mysterious.

Did anyone catch exactly what Kai say’s to Beth at the end, before he goes back to the embassy. Something like “Remember me to ‘paulina’ “ ??
