The villain in this episode of "Secret Agent" is different than most. Gregori (Howard Marion-Crawford) is a nasty, spiteful jerk. His number one goal in life is to dominate others--to use his power to make them bend to his will. The British know he's up to something but aren't sure what--so they send in Drake to pose at Gregori's new butler. In this role, Drake is perfect--very attentive and professional. However, his new 'master' delights in breaking Drake's spirit and letting him know he is Gregori's inferior. These scenes are among the best in the show--very tense and delightfully nasty.
Eventually, Gregori's latest wicked scheme comes to light. He's an international financier and delights in using extortion to bleed countries dry. But in this case, the official won't give in--so Gregori has the man's daughter kidnapped. Drake makes it his mission to find the girl and bring Gregori to justice.
I loved this show because the villain was so darned hateful. And, at the same time, Drake was all business. A great clash of wills and a tense and exciting episode--especially when Drake has a very violent fight with some corrupt police. See this one.
