Personal Synopsis
A wonderful story of blackmail and revenge. I was actually surprised by the depth of writing in this episode. The episode is well acted by the team of the Protectors and Derren Nesbitt. I found the story lacking of credibility especially the skill behind the blackmail but an original complex story of blackmail. Loved it.
