What Season 7 of Spooks

Season seven opens with Lucas North returning to MI5. After eight years in a Russian prison, he rejoins Section D thanks to Harry Pearce, his former friend and boss, who was key to securing his release. But no one knows for certain whose side he is on. The team faces an Al-Qaeda kidnapping, an economic threat that endangers the financial system, and a troubling suspicion: if Russia knows about a secret operation of the service, there is a mole inside the agency itself. Harry, Ros and Ben work with incomplete information, and every decision could cost lives.
