Indeed, people like Robert David Hendy Freegard exist, Petula. In a sense he's an excellent profiler who can easily spot a person's weaknesses. To pose as an MI5 agent and be able to control someone so utterly and fleece her is a difficult act to follow. Take the case of Sarah Smith who's been on the run with Freegard for 10 years on the pretext that the Irish Republican Army is out to kill her. You wonder how is this possible. But Sarah herself tells Sophie (and the viewer) that she felt she didn't have control and she believed she can't leave. And the worst part is Freegard is set free by the police because of technicalities.
Great documentary with resource persons who are believable in their narration of events. It gives the viewer a firm grasp of how Freegard is able to pull the strings for so long although it doesn't show how he became the despicable person that he is. But the viewer can surmise.
