Ok, another great episode of Homeland called The Good Soldier, in which The CIA is reeling after losing Hamid and Faisel, key players in Abu Nazir’s plot against America. Fearing a double agent in his midst, The Director of Counterintelligence orders polygraph tests on everyone who came in contact with Hamid – including Sgt. Brody. Carrie believes Brody’s subconscious will betray the secret he’s so far been able to keep: that he slipped his former captor a razor blade and orchestrated his death to keep him quiet. Meanwhile, tensions between Brody and Mike reach a boiling point at the memorial for Sgt. Tom Walker, when the conversation turns to what happened on the home front during those eight lonely years of Brody’s captivity. And would-be terrorists Aileen and Faisel discover that the CIA isn’t the only force hunting them down.
But who passed the blade to Hamid? My guess is that Saul passed the blade to Hamid, and he tricked the poligraph system somehow, making it impossible to get him lying about passing the blade, and therefore, also making Nick Brody cheating the poligraph on the being faithfull to his wife question, but being true that he did not pass the blade to Hamid.
So, who passed Hamid the blade on Homeland? What´s your theory? Mine is that Saul passed the blade to Hamid, and that Nick Brody did not pass Hamid the blade.
I´ll wait for you on the comments to spill your own theories.

Update: Can you beat a polygraph?
Fans of the hit SHOWTIME series HOMELAND who watched this Sunday’s episode, were treated to a storyline where most of the series’ main characters were interrogated and subjected to polygraph tests. Shockingly, Sgt. Nicholas Brody (portrayed by Golden Globe® nominee Damian Lewis) manages to beat his polygraph despite lying on the exam. Viewers around the country can now test their curiosity, as SHOWTIME will offer polygraph exams in-person and online to consumers around the country, to see if they too can beat a lie detector.
While not having the training and fortitude that Sgt. Brody used to skew his results, consumers will have the opportunity to “beat the test” in person or online. HOMELAND polygraph vans will travel to cities on the East and West Coast of the United States where professional polygraphists will test consumers’ answers. Fans will be asked a series of questions that should result as a “truth,” as well as three additional questions that they will need to respond to “truthfully” despite its pre-determined inaccuracy. Specific locations and dates for van stops around the country in New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., San Francisco and Los Angeles are listed below.
Viewers nationwide will also have the chance to test their skills online by visiting this link. The SHOWTIME simulated polygraph app will use voice stress analysis to evaluate the participant’s answers. Users simply need a webcam and a Facebook account to participate and use the app.
HOMELAND is a one-hour drama series that tells the story of Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes), a CIA officer battling her own demons, who becomes convinced that the intelligence that led to the rescue of Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis), a U.S. soldier who had been missing and presumed dead for eight years, was a setup and may be connected to an Al Qaeda plot to be carried out on American soil. The series also stars Mandy Patinkin, Morena Baccarin, David Harewood, Diego Klattenhoff, Morgan Saylor and Jackson Pace. HOMELAND is based on the original Israeli series “Prisoners of War,” by Gideon Raff. Howard Gordon, Alex Gansa, Avi Nir, Ran Telem, Gideon Raff and Michael Cuesta serve as executive producers.

OMG, I can’t believe there is a website with my thoughts all over it. I thought, of course when everyone else saw him spike the polygraph on that question, that he was the mole. But again like most everyone else, blew it off later due to the diversion set up by producers with Brody and the understandable aspect of Saul’s personality as being stressed. Then later, I thought about the situation again and remembered my previous thought of why the detainee looks at Saul the second time he gave him a smooch on the cheek. I never could understand the reasoning behind Saul’s initial approach with detainee; like why was Saul at the suicide scene so quickly, like him shaking his hands, UH-AH! Eureka! That is when Saul gave him the blade and then we see the surprised look at Saul. Then I turned on episode 5 on demand and wahlah! Once you really go action by reaction, it is certainly plausible and probable to land back on Saul’s square but not collect the $200. Saul, Saul, Saul. I’m disappointed in you and your long sad sad story when it all comes out. Mandy, Mandy, Mandy. YOU are a terrific actor. Bravo! Homeland is a most tingling and sexy plot and story. I love love love this show!! Pam

David is the leak.
