Wouldn't it have been better to use the video as leverage over the PM and then his aides could have spun it in a way that meant he could be the donor as some sort of altruistic thing?
Sorry. but I haven't a clue what happened there. Who was related to who etc,,,,
The main hostage's wife was the Prime Minister's daughter. Her mother was the woman he raped in the office seen on the video.
That's how I understood it.
Anyone else totally mystified as to what happened? And to whom???
I take it there were two plots over the PM - one to actually kill him and the other to bring him back to life for the bone marrow transplant... but ...... I loved this series until the unsatisfying end! :(

Adam the hostage taker (HT) had a wife who had leukemia. She was the illegitimate daughter of the PM, the young HT was her half brother which is why he was involved despite his lack of mercenary soldier skills.
Adam's Dad was some shadowy black ops person.
I thought maybe the hostage takers had just drugged Ronaldo and tied up the gardener.
Yael made the connection (as I see it!) between the dog 'dying' and then being brought back to life. She had to 'kill' the PM (WHY?) and then bring him back to life in the morgue while his identity was switched with the 'anonymous' body. Again.. WHY?
Silly ending for a superb series.
So Adam's wife was the PM's daughter (of whose existence he had been unaware?), and he was a compatible bone marrow donor - have I got that right?
Yes, except that it isn't possible for a parent to be a donor.
And what was going on with the dog? Had Ronaldo run off and them come home, as opposed to having died, or was there something else going on?
We saw a syringe in the garden, so we were supposed to think that they drugged the dog to make it look as though he was dead. Though I'm sure Alex would have happily shot him.
I honestly thought Ronaldo had twigged early on that there was a ludicrous plot coming up and had decided to leg it and only return when it was all over bar the shouting!

Yes, two plots but presumably once the transplant operation had been done via looking at youtube clips, they would have killed the PM to tie up the loose ends.

The dog suddenly reappearing gave Yael the initiative to go ahead and inject the Prime Minister with the same substance. She realised that the injection would knock him out and look as as if he'd died.

Yes, it was an interesting parallel.
As for killing the PM, bringing him back to life and then swapping the ID tags, presumably the general public were supposed to believe he was dead so that the blokes who were plotting earlier on in the restaurant would be able to carry out their coup?
I had thought Yael was going to threaten to use the video evidence against him and basically blackmail him into parting with his bone marrow (notwithstanding the fact it appears from other comments on this thread that in reality he couldn't have been a donor).

I thought they were going to keep him alive to bond with his daughter.
The ending with him waking up and looking round made me laugh.

So what are they going to do with the PM after the op????
And how do you do a back street bone marrow transplant without either patient dying?
And isn't it impossible for him to match ?

The young hostage taker ( brother in Law) was told by ? to return and release him.
I'm surprised he managed to walk after being shot in the leg.
Edit - sorry I can't remember the main hostage taker's name.
And they all lived happily ever after.
Or how the daughter managed to run with a twisted ankle. Lol.

Think I might have to watch the last one again as I found it a bit confusing
was it me or did the 'flashbacks' and 'recaps' have more dialogue in them that they did in the first place?
The ending made sense, but yes it was a rush to suddenly throw in a million twists into the last 5 mins.
Also so many of the 'tricks' that the show employed have been used before - 24 in particular.
still good fun and had some genuinely tense moments.

Bloomin' 'eck. My brain hurts.

I think he would miss his wife and children otherwise.
