- Quotes
Angela Burr: I was in Bagdad, in 2003. And I was, um, attached to the United Nations' Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission. Catchy title. We'd had reports of of an incident in Rayat, on the Iranian border, Kurdistan. And the satellites couldn't make anything of it, so, the head of stations sent me... That's not entirely true. I volunteered, actually. Mr Burr was absolutely furious when they found out. But you know, what's the point, otherwise? And, when we got there it was a sports day. Well, it had been a sports day. You know, running races, long jump, picnics. It looked like it had been a really lovely day. Until someone had dropped two gas shells on the playing field. One was sulphur mustard. And one was methylphosphonofluoridate. I don't know how your organic chemistry is.
Grace: Sarin.
Angela Burr: Yeah, so, the idea of the mixture was to stop people from getting masks on. The mustard gas burned the hands and faces of children...
[starts crying]
Angela Burr: Sorry. Melted the skin and, um... which allowed the sarin to attack the breathing muscles. And a lot of the kids had lung tissue on their mouths and on their faces. And that was the first time I saw Richard Roper.
Grace: Roper supplied the gas?
Angela Burr: No. Sorry, no. He had nothing to do with it. No, that's not the point at all. He started selling sarin... after that event. Because of it. He saw what I saw. He saw a hundred and twelve children and fifty-eight adults and he thought: "business". That's the Richard Roper I know. Yeah, so Mr Burr knows I'm married to him and I will have his child, but I have to be *here*.

Apart from that, the reason why Susanne Bier is a terrible director (which was actually proved with her miserable movie "Serena") finds evidence in the fact that in this episode she used the location Marrakech, Morocco as ISTANBUL!! Does she think that people don't know how Istanbul looks like? I've visited Istanbul many many times and the Haydarpasha port SURELY doesn't look like that, nor do the hotels look arabic or oriental. Go on, just google for yourselves! Plus, the license plate numbers were not Turkish. You thought nobody is going to notice? I'm actually pretty sure that this is against the law, and if someone from Turkey notices that they will take legal action against the director and the crew of this series! You can't just use the name of a city and film it somewhere else!
All in all, I can say that Hugh Laurie is terribly wasted in this series.
