Outline

The NATO harddrive is located in Black Bear Prison outside Moscow, owned by Ulyanov.

Section 20 further discover that Ulyanov, who is allied with al-Zuhari, is using Swedish hacker Erik Andersson (Andreas Utterhall), a prisoner, to decrypt the harddrive.

To recover it, Scott and Stonebridge get themselves arrested as cocaine dealers and are sent to the prison, where they learn that Andersson is working under duress; his friends are being held hostage. Michael learns that he is infected with a neurotoxin, and has as long as two days to live unless he is injected with an antitoxin.

Martinez and Richmond locate and rescue the hostages, but not before Andersson finishes the decryption. Kamali believes that al-Zuhari wants him dead after his car explodes.

To rescue Andersson, Scott and Stonebridge start a prison riot, as Federal Security Service (FSB) Major Nina Pirogova (Tereza Srbova) arrives at the prison, apparently to collect Ulyanov’s bounty on them, but it is revealed she is working with Locke to break them out.

Andersson is being transferred; Stonebridge tries to rescue him, but he too is being taken away in the same van, while Scott and Pirogova are captured by prison guards.
