Outline

In Beirut, Kamali meets Amir, a courier. Amir realises he is being followed by Scott and Stonebridge. Amir’s men attack, but Amir is mortally wounded.

Scott and Stonebridge blackmail him into revealing that Leatherby (Dougray Scott) is bringing al-Zuhari from Syria.

In Moscow, Arkady Ulyanov (Marcel Iureș), Viktor’s father, learns of the identities of his son’s killers and sends a woman to Beirut to seduce Scott. Kamali meets and pays Leatherby in a casino, but fails to get the location of al-Zuhari’s arrival.

Section 20 then kidnap Leatherby’s boyfriend, who reveals the time and location to an airfield. Stonebridge is unknowingly contaminated while ambushing the landing party. Instead of al-Zuhari, they find a woman named Sophia Abboud (Agni Scott), the daughter of a former Syrian minister of finance.

Locke arrives to suspend Dalton following her increasingly erratic behaviour, and abuse of morphine, effectively taking over Section 20. Dalton decides to kidnap Sophia, believing she knows something about al-Zuhari.
