Kovacs dismisses them, saying to thank their lucky stars she's burying all this and to stay away from Kamilla.

But the cop who shows up is Kovacs, and Zsofia immediately knows it's hopeless, as are their claims about Juszt's kidnapping, the moment Kovacs says she and Kamilla are friends.Īs Kovacs convinces Kamilla to drop it, Emma tells the myth of the Busójárás mask, that a stranger came to town and inspired the locals to chase away the Ottoman invaders by convincing their attackers the city was full of demons. Baptiste doesn't quite go full "do you know who I am?" but he doesn't have to, as her husband, Michael, recognizes him as the "hero of Józsefváros." Baptiste and Emma think their mere identities will be enough to sway the cops into believing their story. Kamilla also catches Baptiste in the basement, having discovered the Gomorrah mask, and calls the cops. We rejoin the present day with Just having just been kidnapped by Kamilla, but all Emma cares about is she lost the only link to finding Will.

Baptiste attempts to go home to Paris, only to dive into a bottle, as his reputation as the hero of Józsefváros grows. Meanwhile, Emma fires Baptiste from the case, telling him his guilt for his daughter's death is not her responsibility. It's not a fun thing for Zsofia to come home to, having just been fired by Kovacs for failing to stop the massacre, despite Kovacs threatening her should she leave the speech. Mehmet doesn't live long, though, as the violence has already inspired Balazs' buddies. In the confusion of the massacre last week, I thought the shop Baptiste hid out in was that of Zsofia's good-hearted father, but no. Nadeem also notes the press are clamoring to know who shot the "nameless" gunman, calling him "the hero of Józsefváros," and it is obvious he plans to name Baptiste. Emma now must nod along at all the sympathetic tongue clicking, pretending to mourn her son's death instead of being allowed to deal with the horror her child perpetrated against a population she was supposed to be serving. In the world of 14 months ago, Emma's long-suffering assistant Nadeem brings flowers and receives abuse in return for having already buried the story as a matter of course. You know our insatiable desire to remain polite in the face of Armageddon. But she's not the only one left staring into the middle distance in shock, as Baptiste is also stunned, having shot the very child he was supposed to be rescuing.Įmma: I'm British. Poor Emma has now lost the use of her legs and seen her son die, not at the hands of a terrorist, but Baptiste, who shot Alex dead to protect the living. Not only was Emma's son Alex not dead, but he was also in deep with the right-wing extremists led by political candidate Kamilla Agoston and was one of the snipers murdering helpless immigrants in a massacre directed by the mysterious Gomorrah. Last week's episode of Baptiste closed on the big twist everyone probably saw coming. That being the case, I'm going to bypass the upcoming PBS broadcasts and simply purchase the DVD upon its coming release.Tcheky Karyo as Julien Baptiste and Fiona Shaw as Emma Chambers in 'Baptiste' Season 2 (Credit: Courtesy of (C) Two Brothers Pictures & All3Media International) Well, a quick check reveals that the original aspect ratio is 1.78:1.so a major thumbs down to PBS for the cropped presentation. Though I didn't expect that PBS would do such a thing, I grew concerned with regard to a cropped presentation. Early on it seemed to me that the framing was just too tight at 1.33:1. As to this airing on PBS I must say it was disappointing. Obviously I missed the earlier BBC airing of this show. I'm just stunned by how good this BBC episode was.and I think even less of the recent big screen version than I had before. The mystery storyline too was interesting, especially the climactic scene. The writers too deserve great credit for the solid scripting and wonderful dialogue.just so entertaining to listen to. The makers did a fine job in giving the show a contemporary setting combined with a fresh, modern feel yet still managing to retain a strong classic feel as well. Watson is solid too, and the pair share solid chemistry. I didn't care much at all for the recent Guy Ritchie big screen version, but this BBC series, well, this BBC series - at least based on this first episode - was a marvelous piece of entertainment I loved it.īenedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes is just a stroke of genius from the casting department he was simply perfect as Holmes.
