Outline

Colonel Tshuma leads a manhunt to find the two. After evading his men by jumping into a river, Porter and Masuku search for a telephone to contact Leyla. In the process, they stop a group of raiders intimidating a local orphanage.

As they prepare to leave, Masuku pleads with Porter to help the children leave with them. By the time the children leave, Tshuma’s men picks up their trail again.

Meanwhile, Section 20 learns that the betrayer is the Embassy contact, who was paid $6 million by Mugabe’s ministers to frame Masuku. When Collinson travels to South Africa to confront him, the contact commits suicide.

Porter and Masuku hold off their position from Thsuma until Collinson and back-up arrive. Tshuma is killed and Masuku disappears.

In the end, Porter learns that his ex-wife, Diane, died from complications during cancer surgery.
