h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

In the early episodes ...

Alan Yorke turns out to be one of the bad guys.
Jamie is the mole within CTU.

The assassinations are nothing to do with trying to elect a black president, but revenge for a Balkan maniac - Drazen, who Kiefer had killed 2 years earlier. His sons are looking for revenge.

It later turns out that Drazen is alive and being kept in prison by the US Government. He's played by Dennis Hopper.

But the big twist comes at the end of episode 22:59 when it is revealed that Nina, who Jack has trusted all the way, is the mole.

Finally it ends with Jack finding his wife dead.

Forgot to say, but I saw pretty much all of them coming except Drazen being alive and held by the Government.

Had Jamie plugged as the initial mole in episode 2. Likewise Alan Yorke.

Suspected Nina as the major mole, as soon as her alibi was Jack having been in San Diego with her at a time she was supposed to do something bad. I think that was episode 3.

I've seen too many of these programmes now, and what you come to realise is that the murderer/mole/suspect usually:
- provides duff info to someone else, who then looks like the baddie.
- has an alibi that the hero/detective is personally involved in.

Once you spot this lie, everything usually falls into place.

I saw Series Two first so I got most of the mysteries sorted out. It didn't affect my enjoyment of it at all. It was pretty obvious that Nina killed Jamie though. You just had to look into her evil eyes! Mwuhahahaha! Ahem.
