My theory is they do know and they're playing Alison.
I don't think so else you'd have seen some discussion about their suspicions Neither Saul nor Dar Adal are remotely aware of the Russian connection at this stage All they know so far is that their IT security has been compromised and that their plans to replace Assad with the Syrian General has been scuppered. Adal suspects an Israeli connection there and that Saul may have double-crossed him, else why have him followed to Geneva if they already suspect what's going on?

I think Dar is seeing whether Alison plays along with setting up Saul as the fall guy, which to be fair at the moment she isn't, at least not 100%
I thought that was just her using "reverse psychology" on Dar?

So the terrorists had to be freed because the evidence against them had been obtained illegally. But surely this would have come to light at their trial(s) anyway, even if the documents hadn't been leaked? Evidence wouldn't be presented without any information as to how it was obtained?

The whole situation with Peter Quinn was ridiculous. And lucky for him that that guy just happened to have a blood type that was compatible with his!

Surprised to find that Dar Adal knew about Saul and Allison's relationship and hadn't stopped it.

They could have covered that up, but now the documnets have been leaked there was no way to do that.

I agree there were a lot of ridiculous plot leaps though.

I was thinking along the same lines.

Why did Carrie say she was attacked at a refugee camp in Syria when the camp was in Lebanon?

I liked the way that the Syrians holding Peter Quinn talked to each other in German and then in English.

I'll post a question here that i asked last week on the US-pace thread but didn't get a full answer to...

Carrie told Saul that he was being tailed by his own people, but how did she know he was being followed and by whom?

Not to mention the highly implausible fist fight!

Sorry to ask a stupid question, but what does "UK Pace" mean in the thread title?

It's important to be able to just let go/ignore the major plot coincidences and far fetched story-lines, but I'm quite enjoying this. Saying that, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction...

We're now half way, and lots going on. Quite looking forward to seeing it all pan out.

Just a separate thread to differ from the US pace, which is ahead of the UK transmissions. Mainly to avoid spoilers etc.

1 in 3 people have blood group 0 so not beyond the realms of possibility .
Why should Dar Adal interfere in a relationship which has nothing at all to do with the CIA .?
Get a life people !

Might it be that if she knows it's Saul who was responsible for dropping the kill list off for Quinn and now she knows someone's interfered with it , chances are he's being followed ?

Saul's taxi driver did that too, but the other way round!

Could be, but when she told Saul, she sounded quite certain that it was his own people that were following him, not that she had a "hunch" that they were.

Perhaps it will be explained in a later episode...

Carrie knew Saul was being followed because she spotted them in the lobby last week when she went to the hotel to leave the message under his door.

I always feel nervous when there's a scene where someone is quickly trying to download files from a computer before they are discovered (as in the scene with Saul last night). I'm also amazed how they are able to find what they want in just a few seconds. Takes me much longer than that to find something on my own computer.

Perhaps they stored them in a folder called "Leaked files".

A bit higher rate than that. 42% in Germany and 48% in the UK.
