Outline

Leatherby kidnaps Kamali’s daughter Ester (Amy-Leigh Hickman). Section 20 work to rescue her as Locke instructs Kamali to find Dalton, who is interrogating Sophia.

Section 20 find Leatherby’s compound and rescue Ester, but are later ambushed and cornered by Leatherby’s Hezbollah allies. They capture Leatherby’s boyfriend in exchange for safe passage. Leatherby complies, but after realising what he has done, shoots his boyfriend and then gets shot and killed by Stonebridge.

Dalton, meanwhile, learns that Sophia is al-Zuhari’s wife. Kamali arrives, posing as a friend of al-Zuhari, and allows her to escape. He and Dalton tail her to an address, but instead of finding al-Zuhari, they find a woman Locke later recognises as Mairead McKenna (Catherine Walker) of the Real Irish Republican Army, who kills Dalton and Sophia and recovers a memory card hidden in Sophia’s watch.

A Russian mafia hitman arrives in Beirut to follow Scott and Stonebridge, the latter of which is experiencing periods of impaired vision.
