Missed the very end...


My taped copy of the second part cut out just after Tennison arrested her last suspect and he had a fruitless struggle. Does anything happen after that? Does she smoke out the leak in her team?

reply

Not much - the optometrist's wife asks Tennison why she wouldn't leave them alone. Tennison doesn't answer - wanders into the back yard, picks up a Barbie doll, sits down, slowly strokes it's hair and closes her eyes. The End.

EDIT: optometrist NOT dentist :-P

Ah, thank you!
It was quite a gripping outing, I'm glad Mirren came back for it.

You're welcome. Just watched it the other night so it was fresh in my mind. Prime Suspect is an incredible series and Mirren came back for one more as well, so keep an eye out for - Prime Suspect: The Final Act (2006)

Oh, I recorded it when it aired! But first I had to get all the others together first - not entirely essential considering her teams and romances change all the time, but the character progression is much more satisfying when seen from the beginning. Bought the first two outright, borrowed 3, 4 and 6 (I figured 5 was the most dispensible) and then finally watched the final one. It was an excellent end - very believable and quietly dignified.

I still haven't seen last one yet, but I couldn't bear not knowing what happens so I broke down and read some spoilers - I look forward to watching it soon :-)
