What Season 2 of Spooks

Season two picks up right where the first one ended. Tom, an MI5 Section D agent, watches as his girlfriend Ellie and her young daughter get trapped in a sealed house with a bomb about to go off. The team keeps working in The Grid, the top-security room in Thames House, with missions that must be resolved quickly and with incomplete data. The fronts are many: organized crime, attacks, embassy sieges, arms and drug trafficking. Inside the office, Tom clashes with Harry and the CIA, while Zoe and Danny carry much of the operations.
