- Spooks_(series_7) abstract "The seventh series of the BBC espionage television series Spooks (known as MI-5 in the United States) began broadcasting on 27 October 2008 on BBC One before ending on 8 December 2008 on the same channel, and consists of eight episodes, two less than previous series. It follows the actions of Section D, a counter-terrorism division in MI5. The primary storyline involves Sugarhorse, a top secret operation set up by MI5 during the final years of the Cold War, and a mole working for the FSB who intends to leak the operation to the Russians. Peter Firth, Rupert Penry-Jones, Hermione Norris, Richard Armitage, Miranda Raison, Gemma Jones, Hugh Simon and Alex Lanipekun are credited as the main cast.Penry-Jones announced his intention to leave the series in December 2007, while it was later announced Armitage would join. Norris and Raison were both asked to return after their characters were left open for return after the end of the last series. In developing the series, the producers wanted to repeat the serialised style from series six, and settled on using the resurgence of Russia as the primary storyline, as they felt that at the time, the resurgence is in subtle ways threatening the security of the west. The producers also participated in several meetings with the writers to discuss the purpose of Sugarhorse. Filming started in London on March 2008, and later finished on August in the same year, in Moscow, the first time in series history where Spooks was filmed outside the United Kingdom.The seventh series received healthy ratings, with both BBC One and BBC Three ratings together achieving 6.13 million viewers per episode. It series also attracted critical acclaim, with some reviewers considering it to be the best series of Spooks. Both factors allowed the BBC to commission an eighth series of the programme for 2009. The seventh series was released on DVD on 12 October 2009 in the United Kingdom, 30 March 2009 in Australia, and 26 January 2010 in the United States.".

- Spooks_(series_7) shortsummary "Ben Kaplan is on his first undercover assignment to infiltrate an Al-Qaeda cell that plans to launch suicide attacks after a dry run after making threats on the Internet. During the operation, Ben becomes close to fellow cell member Jawad . Later, Ben learns the attacks have been moved forward to take place during the dry run. MI5 and CO19 disarm three of the bombs, and a fourth detonates with no civilian casualties. Section D discover that the "Mr. Big" behind the operation is the same man who warned MI5 of the attacks, Marlin , who kills himself after admitting he was forced following the kidnap of his family. Meanwhile, Lucas recalls that during his imprisonment in Russia, he was tortured on information relating to "Sugarhorse", MI5's "best kept secret" that only five people know of. Fearing there is a high level mole working in MI5, Harry appoints retired spycatcher Bernard Qualtrough to discover the mole's identity.".
- Spooks_(series_7) shortsummary "Harry asks his superior, Richard Dolby , to pursue Kachimov, but is denied. However, Harry proceeds to pursue Kachimov anyway. Malcolm Wynn-Jones believes there is a Russian submarine in British waters, and deduces its intention to carry out a cyber attack via a submarine communications cable. Lucas meanwhile is revealed to be a double agent for the Russians and is being handled by Elizabeta Starkova , his ex-wife who works in the FSB. After learning of his involvement, Ros brings Lucas in; Lucas claims he is actually stopping Kachimov by earning Kachimov's trust. Lucas forges evidence to make Kachimov appear to his bosses to be working for MI-5, which helps Lucas to convince Kachimov to identify the cable. With knowledge of the cable, Malcolm foils the cyber attack, disabling the submarine's computer systems. The submarine would have sunk except for a rescue by the Royal Navy, which sends a message to Moscow. Kachimov is later arrested. In revenge for Adam Carter's death, Harry murders Kachimov with a shot to the chest. Harry appoints Ros to succeed Adam as Chief of Section D. Lucas turns Elizabeta into an asset for MI5.".
- Spooks_(series_7) shortsummary "Lucas has to protect Dean Mitchell , a teenager in possession of a prototypical weapon that is capable of shutting down all electrical systems in a vehicle. Dean admits he witnessed somebody using the gun to assassinate a paparazzo and then stole it and a backpack. Furthermore, the team that are after Dean are MI6 lead by Michael Sands . The paparazzo unknowingly took pictures of a meeting between Sands and UN diplomat Claude Denizet , where Denizet was threatened to resign from peace talks between Israel and Gaza. To protect Dean and his mother, Lucas sends them to Spain; Dean refuses to leave, and is assassinated by Sands as a consequence. Meanwhile, Harry reveals to Lucas and Ros the nature of Sugarhorse; he recruited several pro-Western Russians in the final years of the Cold War to infiltrate its government. Harry meets "Asset K" during the peace talks about the identity of the mole, only to discover somebody is setting him up as the leak.".
- Spooks_(series_7) shortsummary "Moments after realising he has been framed and before being arrested, Harry phones Lucas and instructs him to meet Sugarhorse asset Maria Korachevsky in Moscow, who should know who the mole is. Harry is tortured to divulge the names of his Sugarhorse assets; if he tells the names, the mole will relay them to the FSB and they will be killed, preventing MI5's chance to learn what Russia intends to do against an American defence base in Poland. Two assets are already dead, and Malcolm believes the mole is within Section D. Lucas gets the information he needs and discovers Connie is the mole; he calls Ben, but when Connie realises Ben knows, she slits his throat. When Harry coughs the names of his assets, the rest of the team learn of Connie's treachery, and she is arrested. After he is released, Harry reveals he gave out the wrong names. In the end, Ros learns that a Sugarhorse asset is warning Harry "Tiresias wakes 3 pm tomorrow."".
- Spooks_(series_7) shortsummary "Ros goes undercover to stop Alexis Meynell , who is trying to bankrupt the United Kingdom. He starts by ruining rival bank Highland Life. As the case unfolds the chairman of Highland Life commits suicide after it is revealed the bank owes £65 billion pounds to Salma, a Russian bank with Russian mafia connections. Meynell's right hand man, Asa Darlek wants the £65 billion paid back, or he will release a statement letting the country know the full extent of its debts. Ros presents a third option; have Chancellor of the Exchequer Gillian Calderwood announce the government's intention to back Highland Life, while Ros convinces Meynell to continue betting against the bank. The plan works and Meynell is ruined. Meanwhile, Ros proves to Jo that Boscard is dead. Harry has a team search Connie's home for evidence linking her as the mole, but later finds a tape from Hugo Prince who tells Harry that she is not the leak. Harry asks Lucas to recall what happened when he was questioned on Sugarhorse; Lucas recalls the word "Pilgrim," who is later revealed to be Qualtrough's codename.".

When this is carried out however, Kordad is arrested by a CIA team, much to Harry's frustration. After getting him released, Kordad discloses the location of the planned attack; a restaurant. However, Lucas learns from Elizabeta that the FSB is involved and has moved up the detonation time by ten minutes; if Lucas informs Harry and stops it earlier, the FSB will realise Lucas is not a double agent and will kill him. As a third option, Lucas disarms the bomb and plants a fake one to fool them. Before leaving, Khordad hands Harry intel on a new weapon being developed in Iran. After the meeting, Khordad's plane is shot down by the Americans over the Ural Mountains. Meanwhile, Qualtrough learns that Connie James may be the leak after learning that she had an affair with the late Hugo Prince, one of the few people who knows about Sugarhorse.

Tiersias activates sleeper agent Walter Crane to detonate a nuclear suitcase bomb in Grosvenor Square at 3 pm. The team find themselves forced to turn to Connie for assistance, as she helped set up Tiresias. After Lucas, Ros and Harry break her out, they journey to a locker Connie owns containing everything on Tiresias. However, they find themselves hunted by an FSB kill squad assigned to assassinate Connie and her team, unaware of the threat. While Lucas, Ros and Connie try to outrun them through disused London Underground tunnels, Harry visits FSB head of London Viktor Sarkisiian and offers himself to the Russians if Sarkisiian calls off the kill squad. Harry explains to Sarkisiian that the entire FSB team and their family members living in London will die if the bomb goes off. The team is called off and ordered to aid Lucas. Connie finds the locker and Crane's location. The bomb is brought to Connie, who removes the nuclear material. However, a conventional booby trap bomb still detonates, killing Connie, who admits that she set Lucas up to the Russians eight years ago. In the end, Harry is seen bound and gagged in the boot of Sarkisiian's car.".
