Outline

Some time after the Münich incident, Mac has quit Section 20 and has started a new life back in England with a wife and daughter. He believes that he is being stalked by a yellow car and tries to convince Wyatt and Novin that it is driven by an associate of Zayef when the two visit him.

Mac becomes infuriated when they do not believe him. He begins seeing a psychotherapist to cope with his post-traumatic stress disorder and slowly opens up about his military life.

Mac expresses regrets over not being able to save the lives of many of the people that had helped him, including a disillusioned Taliban sniper who aided him in Afghanistan, but was later killed via enhanced interrogation. However, his psychotherapist persuades him that he made a difference.

The entire episode is then shown to have been an hallucination as Mac bleeds out in the corridor while Section 20 try to save him. The yellow car that has been haunting him is revealed to be a toy car lying beside him, and a drawing by his daughter the graffiti on the walls of the apartment block.

Despite Wyatt and Novin’s best efforts, Mac dies of his wounds, but is shown to be in peace in his fading hallucination.
