Strike Back : Video clipsTrailersA one minute long trailer broadcast on Sky1. And a slightly different version. A 90 second long trailer on the Sky Media website. A trailer for episodes 3 and 4. A trailer for episodes 5 and 6.
Episodes 1 and 2"It's the kid, isn't it?"Iraq, 2003: John Porter (Richard Armitage) and his colleagues have rescued hostage Kenneth Brattan, but two men have died and one is seriously injured. Afterwards, Porter and Hugh Collinson (Andrew Lincoln) are debriefed.
"Daddy!"Back in the UK, Porter is visited in hospital by his wife and daughter. He in turn visits his injured colleague, for whose injuries he feels responsible.
"No defence"Porter feels he has no choice but to resign from the army.
"I'm going to get another job"As his family prepare to leave their army house, Porter has to find another job. He goes to see Brattan, the businessman whom he helped to rescue in Iraq.
"It's your dad"Seven years later, Porter is living away from his family, working as a security guard at the MI6 building in London. In Iraq, journalist Katie Dartmouth has been taken hostage. A photo of one of her abductors seems familiar to Porter.
"It's him, isn't it?"Porter is sure that he knows who the man in Katie Dartmouth's photo of one of her abductors is - the young boy, who, seven years earlier, he should have shot dead in the earlier hostage rescue. Aware that his former colleague Hugh Collinson is now at MI6, he goes to see him. He is convinced there is a link between the abductors of Dartmouth and Brattan, and asks to be allowed to go to the place where Brattan was held, guessing that Dartmouth might also be held there.
"Don't be frightened"Porter has been reactivated and sent to Iraq. Working on his own, he's made contact with Katie Dartmouth's kidnappers, is taken prisoner by them and is thrown into the same cell as Katie (Orla Brady).
