We have witnessed Jackson, too, get betrayed by his colleagues, like Diana, but his instincts are almost always impeccable and his only real failures are in the personal relationships that might get him out of the doghouse. During this episode, we have some acknowledgment from people in the know that River is quite good at his job. The clever, well-funded folks who have abducted Catherine for reasons still to be named later have gone to incredible lengths to send River on a crazy mission to infiltrate the Park and steal a vetting file, with a tight clock ticking on her life. The man asked to give River these orders tells him that the lives of his sister and her children are at stake if he fails to do the seemingly impossible. He is the only guy who can get this done. And when you get to the sea, keep walking with your mouth open. After meeting with an old contact, Jackson settles on the idea that the captors are part of a private operation called Chieftain, run by a man named Sly Monteith. Slow Horses is still holding back on revealing the contents of the Footprint file that make them so valuable, but it at least compensates for deferring that question by keeping the action moving at a breathless pace.

Agent River Cartwright, fresh off a spectacularly failed training exercise, finds himself under the cynical and sadistic Slough House head, Jackson Lamb Gary Oldman , who gives the young agent the most menial of tasks.
