So after all the weapons blew up, the egyptian buyers straight away asked Roper for the money back and didn't pay any attention to Birch. They let Birch go completely without even asking him a single question.
This makes no sense, the company who the Egyptians were buying from and the sole owner of the bank account was Birch. It wasn't at all believable that he wouldn't get into any trouble from the Egyptians and Roper didn't even try bother telling the egpytians that only Birch has access to the money and it was all his fault.
The BBC1 series has not even finished yet. Last instalment on Sunday 27th, Have you jumped the gun somehow or perhaps you have watched it on one of the pirate stations that IMDb quickly erase all mention of? Explain yourself.
OK TehFapper, you're as smart as paint and know it all before the event. But sending abusive messages is NOT smart and you reveal yourself to be just a foolish laddie with a big mouth - time to grow up!
Yes, it was a little convenient that the Arabs would be more concerned with exacting brutal revenge on Roper for an angry outburst rather than securing their 300 million.
The ending was far too rushed and convenient. Good guy gets the girl and the money, bad guy carted away by some locals for street justice, long time pursuers exonerated, happy ever after.
I think it's pretty clear they left some things unanswered in case they could do a second series but ended it enough that with imagination you can conclude what happened. Jed left in the end so Pine didn't "get" her really. There's no guarantee that Pine is safe at all or off scot free. The Egyptians knew perfectly well who was really running the show - company owned by Birch or no. Roper blamed angry militants, not Birch. And insulted the man who really runs Cairo in the process. Of course they're gonna go after him first. These guys know how this works. That nothing should or could be happening with out Roper's ok. So if that money is gone, their first instinct is going to be because Roper stole it. Now, that doesn't mean they wouldn't and won't circle back around to Pine, Langborne and everyone else later on. And there's no hint as to where Pine transferred the money to.
The pursuers aren't exonerated really. Burr's agency is still shuttered as far as we know. Who knows what consequences her American helper has to deal with. With no official agency, did they have time to clear Pine's name? Remember he's got an international APB out on him for ID theft, murder, etc. None of this is sanctioned so there would really be no legal way to hold Roper in the long run so if the Egyptians don't kill him, there's always a chance he returns. I think the fact that they were no longer bound by rules and laws left them able to do whatever. But there's still lives at stake as long as that money is still out there.
A question for you, I didn't quite get really what Jed's was expecting, it made no sense for her to leave her meal ticket, I also didn't feel her and pine had that much going. It seemed like a bad choice for a kept woman.
. The buyers had paid the money to Roper and they knew that Birch was just the "head" of the meaningless shell company. Roper is and always was the mastermind behind the entire deal, and in charge of it all.
Roper didn't know that Birch blew up the trucks (plus he didn't; the militants did). .
