In Slow Horse’s penultimate episode, which was added to the streamer earlier this week, Cartwright is finally taken in by the intelligence service after going on the run.

But while he travels to MI5 HQ with head of security Emma Flyte (Ruth Bradley), they are ambushed and a brutal shoot-out erupts after which Cartwright is taken hostage by the enemy with his fate to be decided in the next episode.
