As the capital shudders in the wake of two terrorist attacks, specialist protection officer PS David Budd is more under pressure than ever to keep the home secretary Julia Montague safe. The threat to her life does nothing to curb Julia's political ambitions, as her counterterrorism bill takes another step towards being made law, provoking political rivalries. With the police marginalised from the investigation into the attacks in favour of the security service, David is caught between his new-found loyalty to Julia and his superiors' demands for intelligence on her activities.

The third episode is weaker mainly because of the unexpectedly long and importantly presented love story. It might be important for future episodes, or it might just be a self-serving filler to stretch the series, we'll see. The ending pulls it up not because of the last scene, but the penultimate one. What’s in the briefcase?
