Slow Horses Season-Finale Recap: Family Matters
How is it possible that Lamb is River’s best father figure?
I’ll confess to being confused by the painting at Les Arbres that River had taken a photo of earlier in the season, so I did not mention it here — but it’s an elegant way for him to put two and two together since the same image had appeared on birthday cards he’d gotten from his mother as a child. It’s a lousy situation for River, who tries a pitiful bit of subterfuge on his phone to alert Louisa of his whereabouts, but Harkness is ready for that and prepared to slit his femoral artery under the table if he gets out of line. That’s what has made Harkness such a tantalizing villain for the show: Hugo Weaving always plays him as a man of preternatural confidence, whether he’s about to get carved up by his clients in a hotel, sitting in a public place about to be surrounded by MI5 agents, or actually in custody, awaiting a presumably long prison sentence.
