Vigil spoilers follow.
Tonight's (December 12) episode of Vigil began on a tense note with the stabbing of Callum Barker (Chris Jenks) and ended on an even more shocking note as Suranne Jones' DCI Amy Silva was involved in a shooting cliffhanger.
Continuing her investigation into who had stolen an RPAS drone console, DCI Silva followed several leads, eventually leading to a nail-biting cliffhanger moment.
Amy's suspicions initially turned to Callum, who she suspected was hiding something. However, following a confrontation in the hospital, it became clear that Callum was hiding a secret relationship with Captain Sattam Abdul Kader (Oscar Salem).

Amy later worked out that Kader had a connection to the leader of the rebel forces, Abdullah Ghazali, and had warned him of a drone strike coming his way.

Following a slow but tense car-tailing scene, Amy and Squadron Leader Eliza Russell's (Romola Garai) suspicions were confirmed when they saw Kader greet Ghazali.
Before the two could turn back and head to base, a gun-wielding member of the rebel forces tapped on the window of the car, causing Amy and Eliza to jump.

"Anyone else jump out [of] their skin at the end of #Vigil ?" was another viewer's response.
Quipped a fourth Vigil fan: "Nearly pooped my pants at the end when the guy banged on the car window."
"That ending has me tense! I can't believe I have to wait until Sunday to see what happens next," wrote another excited viewer.
