* MistakenForSpies Lord Southmere keeps insisting that he's not a spy, just an ordinary businessman. However, nobody else believes him; as his (former) nanny points out, he would say that if he was a spy.
* NotMyDriver Lord Southmere is kidnapped by the Chinese.
* ParasolOfPain Lord Southmere's umbrella is apparently a gun in disguise, although we only see him threaten someone, and not actually fire it.
