Outline

Scott and Stonebridge’s capture attracts media attention, prompting Whitehall official Charles Ridley (James Wilby) to deny their existence, whilst ordering Locke not to rescue them.

Locke disregards the order when Martinez spots hand signals from Stonebridge, leading to an exfiltration point. The two go to Vladivostok to enlist the help of Federal Security Service (FSB) agent Nina Pirogova (Tereza Srbova), who previously assisted Section 20 in Shadow Warfare.

Meanwhile, Li-Na uses Finn to coerce Scott and Stonebridge to “confess” on video that their mission was sanctioned by the British and Americans to destabilise North Korea. The three break captivity and hold Li-Na hostage long enough to escape the heavily guarded compound, but Finn is wounded in the process.

They are eventually rescued by Locke, Martinez and Pirogova and return to Russia where Finn receives medical treatment. Martinez leaves the team to return to her previous position in the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

Li-Na is about to be executed by her father for her failure when she is saved by Kwon, and the two become rogue agents. The two are later spotted in Vienna, where Section 20 learn they are planning an attack against Europe.
