Who dies in Slow Horses season 4 episode 1?

But when we see someone claiming to be River arrive, David is clearly confused and unsure if this man coming up the stairs to draw him a bath is actually his grandson.

Who does David Cartwright kill?

When David walks into the bathroom and shoots the man who insists he is River, we never get to see it with our own eyes.

Then, when Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman) arrives on the scene later (David has escaped), he identifies the now faceless body as his own Slow Horse.

The possibility that River has met his end is reinforced during the episode by comments Oldman made earlier this season, hinting that a main character could “outwit” him during an interview with the network. Radio times.

But fear not, it’s not River, as we eventually discover in the episode’s final scene, when he’s driving a taxi through the French countryside, presumably to find out what’s going on.

If we delve into the plot of Heron’s fourth book in the Slow horses series – warning, Ghost street Spoilers ahead – The man who met his end in the bathroom is connected to an old mission from David’s past during the Cold War while he was running MI5.

However, it’s possible that the series has changed the plot of the book in certain aspects. We’ll have to tune in next week to see what happens next.

Slow horses Season 4 is streaming on Apple TV+.
