Outline

Ridley disbands Section 20 and orders the team home, but the three defy orders and continue to Geneva.

Scott and Stonebridge enter the building but are spotted by Office 39 agents masquerading as security guards, who aid Li-Na and Kwon to hold delegates hostage in the council chamber with the nuclear bomb.

Li-Na makes a live television announcement, vilifying UN’s treatment of North Korea. Scott and Stonebridge find that a secretary, Carol (Anne-Solenne Hatte) is an Office 39 agent, but the two convince her that Li-Na’s mission is not sanctioned by North Korea, so Carol decides to work with them.

Stonebridge pretends to be captured so he and Scott can kill the other Office 39 agents, including Kwon. Li-Na does not reveal the code to disarm the bomb, so Scott calls retired CIA bomb disposal expert Mitchell Johnson (Andrew Pleavin) and succeeds in defusing it.

Section 20 take Li-Na into their custody and hand her over to a rendition team led by Faber and Mason. The team realise that they are a team of mercenaries under orders from Ridley to kill them all; Li-Na dies and Locke is mortally wounded.

Scott and Stonebridge escape by helicopter, but it is damaged from gunfire and crashes soon after.
