Outline

Scott and Pirogova break out while they are being transported to Ulyanov, and are saved from their pursuers by Martinez and Richmond.

Meanwhile, Andersson and Stonebridge are taken to a secret biochemical facility in Drezna where scientists are testing prisoners with weaponised smallpox, which al-Zuhari wants to obtain.

Stonebridge is deemed useless by the head doctor, Takenaka (Togo Igawa), due to his condition. He manages to kill his captors however, and learns from Andersson, who is infected with the smallpox, that he tagged all of NATO’s cleanskins.

After Stonebridge calls Section 20, they and Spetsnaz covertly surround the facility as Kamali arrives using his terrorist cover. After Ulyanov arrives, Section 20 and Stetsnaz raid the facility, where Scott gives Stonebridge the antitoxin. Ulyanov manages to escape with Kamali, whose cover is blown, and a sample of the smallpox.

Later, the members of Section 20 watch a video recording of al-Zuhari’s men executing Kamali.
