Outline

Kamali reveals that he was the one responsible for the entire plot (al-Zuhari was in fact killed by the Israelis six months before) and is going to release the smallpox as revenge for his wife’s death.

Scott and Stonebridge escape capture, where Section 20 learns Kamali has implanted several cleanskins to the NATO base they are operating in.

As one of the cleanskins releases the virus in the hospital wing, infecting Martinez and others, Kamali hijacks an aircraft with the intent on flying over Berlin to release the virus and infect the city. Scott and Stonebridge rescue Richmond, who Kamali captured on the aircraft, before it takes off, where the plane is shot down.

Kamali is not on board, and he and Ester are captured by Ulyanov, who demands Scott and Stonebridge turn themselves in, in exchange for Kamali.

The exchange goes awry, resulting in Kamali and Ulyanov’s deaths, though in his dying moments Kamali tells Ester that the necklace he gave her contains the cure to the virus. Section 20 take the cure to the base, where there is only enough to save those infected at the NATO base.
