Outline

Foster survives the blast, but a North Korean general is dead.

Scott and Stonebridge prepare to bring in McQueen for questioning, but he is taken into custody by corrupt police officers, who are under orders from McQueen’s employer Li to execute him.

Scott and Locke save him, but McQueen will not co-operate unless his wife is safe. Kim Martinez (Jackson) and Richmond pick her up before the corrupt officers can, and McQueen reveals that Li is a member of “Office 39”, a covert North Korean crime syndicate; they set up the embassy bombing to goad North Korea into conflict with the West.

Scott and Stonebridge infiltrate Li’s compound and gather hard drives to learn more of Office 39’s operation. Meanwhile, the corrupt officers attempt to seize Section 20’s base. McQueen forfeits his life to allow his wife and the team to escape.

The attack leads Locke to suspect an Office 39 mole from the embassy. It is revealed to the audience that the mole is Mei (Michelle Yeoh), Foster’s wife, who kills Foster in the hospital.
