‘Slow Horses’ Season 4 Finale: How [SPOILER] Death Concluded ‘A More Raw, More Brutal, Harder Season’
'Slow Horses' showrunner Will Smith and star Hugo Weaving discuss the events of the Season 4 finale, including the death of Marcus Longridge.
River Cartwright (Jack Lowden) — a former MI5 golden boy whose exile to the series’ namesake box of broken toys established the show’s premise in Season 1 — began his latest misadventure by trying to save his dementia-afflicted grandfather David (Jonathan Pryce) — and ended it by coming face-to-face with his father, a sociopathic American mercenary named Frank Harkness ( Hugo Weaving). Season 4 is based on “Spook Street,” the Herron volume that introduces Frank as what Weaving dubs “a Moriarty figure”: an archnemesis who can transcend individual storylines, serving as the kind of recurring adversary “Slow Horses” had previously lacked. Smith won’t reveal too many specifics, but he promises the next episodes will trace the impact of Season 4’s events on both River and Shirley (Aimee Ffion-Edwards), who’s grappling with the loss of her frequent mission partner Marcus Longridge (Kadiff Kirwan) who’s killed by one of Frank’s son-soldiers during a tense shootout at Slough House HQ.
