Netflix's Treason: Who is double agent Dorian? (cosmopolitan.com)

Later in the episode, Kara reveals to Adam's wife Maddy (Oona Chaplin) she knows Adam isn't Dorian as he was with her the night her men were killed.

Patrick tells Maddy to give him the files as Adam had promised to do so the day before. Kara calls her associate in the Russian government saying she will give her the files if she gets her a plane ticket out of the UK. If Adam was Dorian it would be pretty stupid to give the future prime minister a detailed file about your identity as a double agent. Throughout the series it's not clear if it is Adam and as a viewer, it's unclear whether we can trust his actions. The five-part series tells the gripping story of the deputy head of MI6 Adam Lawrence (Charlie Cox) who must take over as the head of the institution after his boss is poisoned. However, things are not as they initially appear, after a woman from Adam's past threatens to disrupt his life and position at MI6.

Stream It Or Skip It: 'Treason' On Netflix, Where The New MI6 Chief ... (Decider)

Charlie Cox, Oona Chaplin, Ciarán Hinds, Tracy Ifeachor and Olga Kurylenko star in a new thriller with lots of potential twists and turns.

The intrigue is in the web that’s already twisting itself into a knot by the end of the first episode. She’ll have her own suspicions, both of Armstrong and of Dede; she’s too smart and savvy to be played by both of them at once. As long as the show stays on that, while giving some of the third-tier characters a little more to do than what we’ve seen so far, it’ll make for a satisfying thriller. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, Slate, Salon, RollingStone.com, VanityFair.com, Fast Company and elsewhere. It should make for some interesting back and forth between her and everyone in her life. But the first episode doesn’t really give some of the rest of the cast, like Alex Kingston playing Audrey Gratz, whom we assume is the British Home secretary, much in the way of story. At the same time this is going on, a CIA team lands in London, led by Dede Alexander (Tracy Ifeachor). In the meantime, his boss Sir Martin Angelis (Ciarán Hinds), dubbed “C” for “Control”, sits at his fancy dining club with the president of the Supreme Court, showing him evidence of an affair and an illegal visa that he can make go away if the official plays ball. One of the things that seems to trip up a lot of thriller series, especially ones that take place inside the world of international intelligence, is that they lose focus. They know each other from his field days, when Kara was SVR (Russian intelligence) and the two of them were lovers. There are others in the cast like this, but it’s hard to imagine casting Kingston in a tiny part with nothing to do, so we hope that she and some of the other ancillary characters factor into the story more as it goes along. She wants to help the driver, but she later tells him “I don’t fuck up,” as she poisons him.

'Treason' Character: Adam Lawrence, Explained: Was Adam A ... (Digital Mafia Talkies)

The 2022 Netflix spy thriller "Treason" takes us inside the perilous and secret world of espionage, where the past of a celebrated MI6 officer came to ...

She revealed that his judgment was flawed, and that Patrick Hamilton was Dorian, who was leaking information to his Russian counterpart. Martin believed that Adam could betray his nation, though all that man desired was to be a true patriot. Adam had a conscience, and he did whatever he could to help Kara get justice for the families of those locals who had suffered. Kara had to prove to Adam that she had not kidnapped his daughter. Adam didn’t help the families of the deceased and left them and Kara to die. Kara knew that she needed some leverage to make Adam give her the information that she needed. Adam knew that if he didn’t fight for his own cause, Martin Angelis would be able to prove that he was a traitor. Martin believed that whatever he was doing was right, and not even once did he think that somebody other than Adam could be the double agent. Kara wanted Adam to be the chief of MI6, and that is why she was making sure that he became the golden goose of the organization. That is why as soon as he was made the interim chief, the first thing he did was to call his family to inform them that they would have to put up with the interference as they would be accompanied by security personnel wherever they went. He knew that his daughter needed time to cope up and he dealt with the issue with a lot of empathy and delicacy. You see evidence of how much he cared for his family through the little things he did for them.

Treason Ending Explained: Was Adam Able to Save His Family and ... (Leisurebyte)

The show stars Charlie Cox as the leading man Adam Lawrence, Olga Kurylenko, Oona Chaplin, Ciaran Hinds, Beau Gadsdon, Samuel Leakey, Tracy Ifeachor, Alex ...

However, the platform may surprise us with a renewal if it feels like it eventually, even though the chances of the same seem pretty low, after all, some of may be interested in seeing Kara and Maddy team up again for another ride. The final outcome of the series is that even though Adam dies in order to save his family, his name is cleared up with Angelis now arrested. Kara then gives her Russian associate a call and makes it seem as if she’s crossing her way with Maddy by handing over the files to the other woman on the phone. Maddy accomplishes in convincing her after putting in some effort, while Adam and Kara get on with the mission to track down Olamide to get to the files. Audrey, on the other hand, makes her blood boil by saying that she needs to return the files to Angelis as they’ve already caused them a lot of trouble. She, however, knows better that Adam isn’t the man she was looking for because he was with her when all her people were attacked by Dorian, she later explains this to Maddy as well.

Charlie Cox didn't have a clue about that big Treason twist, either (British GQ)

Daredevil actor Charlie Cox, now starring in a buzzy Netflix spy drama, talks GQ through Treason's biggest twist, why it's more than a Bond calling card, ...

Yeah, the way I viewed it at the time was I think he's being honest — I don't think there's any love in the traditional sense for Kara. Maddy eventually confronts Adam over it, and asks whether he's still in love with her, which he denies, but it feels like there's a level of ambiguity in the air. And that's what I think makes him a hero: not because he just naturally always gets it right, it's more that he's able to recognise where he's got it wrong, and then do the right thing at his own expense.

Treason - Season 1 Episode 4 Recap & Review (The Review Geek)

When Adam gets to his office, he learns that Martin has removed him from service. Episode 4 of Treason then sees Mads go to Dede with the news that she has ...

Adam and Kara go after the files and Mads will go to Audrey for a deal. Kara suggests the only way out is to make a deal with Audrey and get immunity. She was a woman her husband was in love with – and perhaps might still be as well – and she is trusting her with her family’s life? The man outside is indeed his man and is acting independently of MI6. They turn off the lights and now, Kara must protect Adam if she is to prove her own innocence. That is when Adam tells her that the intel was unofficial and was collected by Martin himself. Adam breaks down confessing that he left Kara in Baku because he was afraid their relationship would be discovered and he wouldn’t be able to take credit for the intel. Mads is furious with Adam for betraying this country and putting the family at risk. Adam says he has worked until now to get the families of the men killed in Baku as he had promised Kara. Martin assures Mary that he won’t hurt Ella and Callum to know where Adam is taking them. She once again insists that Mads leave this mess but she is defiant in her stand for the kids. He is most probably the same person who killed Melnikov but the nature of his allegiance is unclear.
