The middle episode in David Hare's spy trilogy, starring Bill Nighy as British agent Johnny Worricker. In this one, Johnny's lying low in the West Indies where he's approached by a CIA op played by Christopher Walken to help crack a syndicate of money-laundering, tax-dodging billionaires who've cornered a lucrative market in the war on terror, building black-hole detention centers outside the United States. The story's complex, with a literate script delivered by actors who know that when the writing's this good, you don't have to put too much spin on it. Under the circumstances, it can't be an accident that both Nighy and Helena Bonham Carter are reading books by Hemingway, or that the alias Johnny's using on the island is "Tom Eliot".
