Outline

In Lebanon, Section 20 operative Liam Baxter (Liam Garrigan) is compromised and executed.

Rachel Dalton (Mitra) investigates who sold out Baxter, leading her to a thought-to-be-dead MI6 agent, Sebastian Grey (Clunes).

Damian Scott (Stapleton) and Michael Stonebridge (Winchester) are recalled from holiday to find Baxter’s executioner, Leo Kamali (Zubin Varla), a member of a terrorist organisation led by al-Zuhari, in the jungles of Colombia.

The two team up with an American Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) team, led by Kim Martinez (Jackson). Kamali is being sheltered by cartel leader Miguel Gomez (Raoul Trujillo), in his compound.

Scott spots Mossad agent Rebecca Levi (Lyne Renée), last seen in Vengeance, posing as Kamali’s girlfriend.

After capturing Kamali the team kills Viktor Ulyanov, a representative of the Russian mafia, during the escape.

They return to their rendezvous to find Martinez’s team dead, and are soon ambushed by Gomez’s men.

Stonebridge manages to hijack an armed riverboat as a getaway vehicle. Though they manage to evade their pursuers, Gomez fires a rocket-propelled grenade at the team from higher ground, destroying the boat.
