Herr Herz (Spoiler S2 E8 finale)
Could just see that final scene between Mr. and Mrs. Herz coming...
When he was walking out of the prison and we saw her waiting there, I thought, he's going to look at her and simply turn away and go.
She believed he was guilty. She showed him that in previous scenes. So, the trust is gone. He cannot return to someone who thought him capable of that crime.
It was a moving epilogue to everybody else's ending--even though nobody we saw got a "happy" ending, at least some people had some restoration of life possible like Gemma, Alice, Matthew and Mr. and Mrs. Baptiste and Sophie's dad.
But for the woman who was at the heart of the Iraq story and all that fall out, she was not to have any kind of restoration. The ripple effect of her actions of which she is keenly aware is something she will always have to live with.
Nor was Mr. Herz getting anything but his freedom from incarceration in prison
--the truly innocent victim in this story.
He was to me the most tragic figure. His life has been ruined, he's lost his wife, probably his business.
And no matter how much he is vindicated, everybody will know he was a guy who spent time in prison for involvement with a minor girl and that will just stick to him the way people think about those things.
Very moving scene with Herz.
