As the tension escalated, viewers discovered who was shot at the end of Episode 6, witnessed the death of a crucial character, and saw Sam (played by Idris Elba) and the hostages band together in a fight for survival. With a twist that changes everything, the stakes have never been higher!
The episode picked up immediately after Episode 6’s cliffhanger, revealing that both Sam and Jess (Karima McAdams) were injured after a gunshot rang out. Jess suffered a severe shoulder wound, while Sam was grazed on the forearm. As Commander Wolf (Sebastian Hülk) was confirmed to have targeted Jess, the plot thickened with accusations of her involvement in the hijacking.
In a desperate bid to save Sam, Peter Faber (Toby Jones) and Olivia (Clare-Hope Ashitey) fought to convince authorities that Sam was coerced into the hijacking, but their pleas fell on deaf ears. Tension mounted as MI5 operative Robert Lang (Arsher Ali) took reckless actions, leading to deadly confrontations that pushed the narrative into chaotic territory.
Meanwhile, Marsha (Christine Adams) finally made contact with Daniel (Max Beesley) while evading capture in the woods, leading to a heart-stopping moment where she alerted him to her danger. Her message, captured by Olivia, was a desperate attempt to keep Sam safe.
As the plot raced forward, the hijacked train suffered a power failure, forcing Sam to make a critical decision to decouple the train. The harrowing moment culminated in Jess’s tragic death, shot by armed agents as she tried to signal for help, leaving viewers shattered.
In a significant breakthrough, intelligence officer Zoran Beck (Dejan Bućin) apprehended Marko, the bomb supplier, just before his flight from Berlin to Warsaw. The episode ended with revelations regarding who is truly orchestrating the chaos, hinting at a deeper conspiracy.
The final scene revealed a clandestine connection to Stuart Atterton (Neil Maskell), who may still be pulling the strings behind the hijacking. The return of this character has fans speculating about future twists and motives as the season races toward its final episode.
Co-creator Jim Field Smith stated, “Stuart has unfinished business with Sam,” heightening anticipation for the upcoming finale. With only one episode left, the suspense is palpable, and fans are left eagerly awaiting how these threads will intertwine.
