Strike Back -- "Episode 5" -- 9/16/11

Synopsis:

Spoiler:
In order to force the delivery of a cache of weapons to war-torn Darfur, Janjaweed terrorists abduct Clare Somersby, a refugee-clinic doctor whose father is Latif's chief armorer, British arms dealer Gerald Crawford. The kidnapping gives Section 20 a lead on Latif, albeit through an alliance with Crawford, whose weapons were likely used in the assaults in New Delhi and Cape Town. Though Stonebridge holds Crawford personally responsible for past carnage, he and Scott are forced to pose as Crawford's aides in Sudan during negotiations spearheaded by Matak, a corrupt government minister. With an inquisitive American journalist (and occasional Scott paramour) named Maggie and her local guide Jacoub in tow, the Section 20/Crawford entourage arrange a rendezvous to secure Clare's release in exchange for cash. However, it's soon apparent that the Janjaweed leader, Tahir, wants more than money before he'll part ways with his hostage.

The big question is whether Scott can go a week without banging the 1st hot piece of ass he sees.

Scott got laid!

But he may not get laid next week.

Awesome episode. Loved Scott rolling in with the nice weapons and skulling that one dude up in the barn. This show is so much fun. I really hope the ratings are what Cinemax is expecting and they order another year. Totally fun to watch.

Ditto. Awesome episode. Scott was fucking badass as the sniper. Agree with Deftones that skull kill was sick. Plus he even had time for a quickie.
The show is firing on all cylinders...They go from fighting Pakistani terrorists to now fighting African Weapons dealers. The opening scene where the weapons dealers stormed with hospital and set everything on fire was intense.

I like how they ended it with Stonebridge going...."Let's do this"

Really hoping this gets another season from Cinemax. I'm excited to see what they do with The Transporter series next year.

Great show and glad it's on premium cable where it's no hards barred.
