another MI-5 question

[meganbmoore]

I suspect the answer is "very rarely" given the people who recced this to me, but how often to women get their hands and faces dunked in acid before being shot in the head (or some equivalent horrific demise) in an attempt to get their bosses to give up information?  (That she made a sexual misstep by trying to initiate sex with said boss earlier in the episode doesn't really help how that came across.)

Also, is Zoe played by Keeley Hawes?  I'm too lazy to check and have only seen Hawes in period dramas before.  Also, when does the woman who I'm told can kill people with pens show up?

Same as above - it doesn't really happen again.

From what I recall, though, it's by far the most graphic death depicted - most everything else is your typical shoot-em-up action death.

But it's been a yonk's age since I've seen the series and I stopped watching after the second season. There may be gorier things I'm forgetting.

ETA: Annnnd now I see someone already said the exact same thing above. I'm quick like that.
