Outline

Section 20 follow al-Zuhari’s main enforcer, Qassein (Philip Arditti), to Berlin, Germany.

Realising Ester is a target, Scott and Stonebridge rescue her from Qassem at a fair. Meanwhile, from a captured Drezna doctor, Locke learns the facility was funded by Maroun Saleh (Tony Jayawardena), a wealthy businessman.

Martinez and Richmond follow him to compound led by Raza Hassan (Fred Maamar Fortas), al-Zuhari’s right-hand man. The team attack the compound by night; though Saleh and Hassan are both killed, the team retrieve a flash drive with the identities of the cleanskins.

One of them, Colonel Novotny (Iván Fenyö), is posing as a Czech diplomat travelling to Berlin to attend a NATO meeting. Scott and Stonebridge intercept him on a train bound for the city. However, Novotny releases the smallpox in one of the carriages.

Scott stops the train from approaching a populated area by parking a lorry at a level crossing, where Novotny dies. Afterwards, Scott and Stonebridge find that Ester’s safe house is compromised, and the pair are taken hostage by Qassein and Kamali, who faked his death.
