Initially, there were hints that Adam himself wasn\u2019t the man he claimed to be. MI6 chief Sir Martin Angelis believed that his deputy was working for Russia alongside Kara Yerzov and Anton Melnikov after the CIA<\/span> approached him regarding a British agent \u2013 codename Dorian \u2013 who was used by two SVR agents to murder five men in Baku.<\/p>\n Those men were locals who were working for Kara. She had guaranteed their safety but in a violent turn of events, they had been captured and tortured in front of their families, before being killed, with Kara hunting the culprit ever since.<\/p>\n Following their deaths, there was an uprising in the city, which forced the British to evacuate. But Adam remained and saved the embassy from falling, which boosted his reputation at MI6. Angelis, however, believed that was part of a plot to help the Russians take control of the region and had kept him close ever since to monitor his movements.<\/p>\n But as the plot thickened, it became abundantly clear that there was another person pulling the strings \u2013 and be warned: there are spoilers ahead<\/strong>.<\/p> Patrick Hamilton, Adam\u2019s longtime friend and head of MI6\u2019s Russia desk, is the traitor.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Their relationship stretches back years, which Paddy attempts to use to his advantage when Adam refuses to tell him why he\u2019s meeting with Melnikov, who\u2019s attempting to <\/span>manoeuvre <\/span>MP Robert Kirby into No 10 so that he can \u201cflip him to the Kremlin\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cNot even me? After 20 years of friendship,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m the only one in the building trying to help you navigate this s**t.\u201d<\/p>\n In the finale, he attempts to seize Angelis\u2019s top secret extortion files from Maddy, which the Russian authorities would use to influence law and order in the UK. But he\u2019s no match for her and she successfully passes the information on to home secretary Audrey Gratz. He\u2019s later poisoned by Kara, who was seeking revenge for what had happened in Baku.<\/p>\n But the show was also keen to highlight that Angelis was every bit as monstrous as Patrick.<\/p>\n He knew that Kirby winning the leadership race would be a win for Russia, and yet he refused to obstruct any chance of that happening to suit his own agenda: to be the longest-serving and most powerful chief in UK history.<\/p>\n \u201cThis country has forgotten how much it needs us,\u201d he says of MI6 and his colleagues. Angelis wanted Kirby to secure his position as prime minister so that he could swoop in and expose him, in turn strengthening the security service\u2019s influence and power.<\/p>\n But during a committee hearing, Audrey lifts the lid on Angelis\u2019s blackmail racket and clears Adam\u2019s name: \u201cFar from being a traitor, I believe he lost his life rooting out treachery at the heart of the establishment.\u201d<\/p>\n Adam\u2019s wife Maddy also vows to expose CIA operative Dede Alexander for her role in the saga. The US operative had orchestrated the kidnapping of Adam and Maddy\u2019s daughter Ella to draw him out of the shadows.<\/p>\n As for Kara, she will return to Russia. \u201cWill you be safe?\u201d asks Maddy, concerned for her welfare.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s my home,\u201d she responds, with the pair sharing one final hug before going their separate ways.<\/p>\n Treason is streaming now on Netflix<\/a>.\u00a0Sign up for Netflix from \u00a36.99 a month<\/a>.
