Spoiler Space: Slow Horses pulls back the curtain on River Cartwright

Season four's penultimate episode drops a big reveal about Slough House’s resident running man.

, which relies on sly character dynamics and psychological conspiring, indulging in several action sequences might seem unnecessary. Besides, we’ve signed up for the mysteries, the grimy and grumpy Jackson Lamb , and the show’s hallmark brand of dry British humor. River Cartwright outrunning other people—or even growling hounds at one point in season four—can’t be that much of a feature in comparison to those draws, right? Wrong.

Anyway, it looks like Frank succeeded because, in the present day, he’s traipsing around London trying to nab David and River with the help of a dead-eyed Patrice, who is clearly his son, based on the strict, unhinged, yet very personal way they talk. It’s both scary and effective, painting a cruel picture of how Patrice and others like him were probably brought up on that Les Arbres farm.

This all hits like a ton of bricks in the last five minutes of “Grave Danger.” In that brief time, another slick action scene puts into perspective the contrast between Frank’s sons. River is being transported to the Park by MI5 agent Emma Flyte before Patrice interrupts. Single-handedly, and smack dab in the middle of London traffic, he takes out two other agents and disarms Emma before pointing his gun at River. To be fair, River can’t do much because he’s handcuffed to the car.
