The Secret Adversary, Pt. 2

Сезон 1, серия 2: With Tommy mistaken for a criminal mastermind, Drennan, due to join Brown’s gang from the north, and Tuppence employed as a maid to a faded soprano, Rita Vandemeyer, with suspicious connections to Brown, the couples’ investigations into Brown get deeper and more dangerous. Tommy tries to escape the pleasures of the gang’s seedy Soho den long enough to search for Jane within its dark shadowy corners and back rooms, but he is caught and must attempt to return tomorrow to try again…except this time the gang will be expecting the £1,000 Drennan was due to bring. Tuppence feels she is getting closer to the assassination plot when a mysterious package is delivered to Rita from Brown and locked in a secret room. She is also shocked to discover that one of Rita’s closest friends, James Peel KC, is in fact an agent of Carter’s on the same case. In the face of ever increasing peril and Carter’s continued obstruction, Tommy and Tuppence must somehow find the funds to allow Tommy’s re-entry to the Soho den, solve the mystery of Rita’s secret package and, for their own safety, try to maintain their cover.
