Next week on Spooks, in the penultimate episode of Series 9, Lucas North’s past finally comes crashing down on him.

Here’s ten teasing lines of dialogue from the episode…

► “I’d recommend an extremely long spoon.”

► “You won’t kill me, I know you won’t.”

► “God knows I’ve had my share of betrayal, but not you…”

► “Please tell me this isn’t going where I think it’s going.”

► “You bear it because you deserve it.”

► “I’d like to say anything that’d take that look of utter contempt out of your eyes, so please don’t tempt me.”

► “Is there any way back from this, Harry?”

► “That’s the deal that I make with him every single day,”

► “Everything in this wretched business is telling me not to do this.”

► “I wonder if you can even remember the truth of what you were.”

The episode airs at 9pm on Monday 1st November 2010 on BBC One.
