Outline

In Vienna, one of Pirogova’s assets Nadia Dansky (Tieva Lovelle) steals and clones the mobile phone of Ivan Myshkin (Alex Humes), a Russian mafia enforcer working with Li-Na.

She meets Pirogova at an opera house, where Myshkin tracks down and kills Dansky. With the gathered intelligence, Locke discovers that Kwon will meet “Oppenheimer” (Michael McElhatton), codename for an infamous IRA bomber.

Section 20 surveil the meeting, where Locke realises that “Oppenheimer” is his son’s killer. “Oppenheimer” gets away while Scott captures Kwon, who refuses to divulge Li-Na’s location.

Scott and Stonebridge trick him into escaping so that they can follow him, but Kwon discovers the ruse and loses them. Pirogova follows Myshkin to a bank and spots Li-Na, while Kwon kidnaps the bank manager’s wife to ensure they gain access to a vault. From there, Li-Na gathers a notebook from a safe deposit box.

Scott and Stonebridge arrive to engage Myshkin’s men, but Li-Na and Kwon escape, while Myshkin escapes with a captive Pirogova.
