As chaos unfolds underground, Daniel tries to understand the situation better by speaking to someone incredibly knowledgeable about the KA29 kidnapping, John Billy Brown (Ian Burfield) and Sam.

“If I stop messing around and start helping, there are things I can do,” Daniel tells Stuart. “I’m behind bars, Detective,” Stewart replies. “I know as much as you do, which has become very clear, what a beautiful Football Association it is.” When Daniel says that OCG fingerprints are all over the latest kidnapping involving Sam, Stuart backs down. Daniel promises to try to make his situation “more comfortable” and “cut his sentence by a few years,” but Stuart remains in denial, saying, “You can offer me the moon on a fucking stick for all the good it’ll do for you.”

A fed-up Daniel accuses Stuart of “looking up his bullshit” before reminding him that he will return to Belmarsh for the rest of his days.

“Cheapside chewed it up and spit it out. But that’s what they do,” Daniel says. When Daniel starts talking repeatedly about Stuart’s mother’s death, he finally experiences an emotional reaction. Unfortunately, he has no answers. “Do you think kidnapping the kingdom was good for me?” Stuart asks. “I was put on that plane to die. That was the plan. And when the plan failed, I fell for what happened… I was completely cut off. I am nothing. I know nothing. I am nothing.”

I love working with him. We’ve done some things together now. He’s a compelling actor, but he’s also a very compelling character,” Smith told DECIDER. “We wanted there to be real, tangible things for Sam to encounter, and for him to be able to reach back into the closet of Season 1 and ask what’s in that closet and what kind of torture tools will enable us to turn the screw on Sam.”

“Stewart and Sam have unfinished business. That’s very clear at the end of Season 1,” Smith continued. “You know this situation hasn’t been resolved. And Stuart has unfinished business with his organization. He was put under the bus in Season 1, basically. So they both have unfinished business.”
