Outline

“McMillan”, real name Rachel Dalton, is revealed to be a military intelligence operative assigned to intercept the nuclear triggers.

Knowing of the escape, Waabri places a bounty on their heads. He also meets with Matlock who offers to buy the triggers. The escapees confiscate the triggers, but unknown to them they have been swapped by Waabri’s girlfriend (who is murdered after handing them over to Waabri’s contact).

Furthermore their inbound rescue helicopter is forced to turn back after taking heavy ground fire. They are surrounded by Waabri’s militia when they are “rescued” by Matlock’s helicopter.

Scott trades the triggers for Waabri, however Matlock discovers the fake triggers and kills Waabri. The group are ambushed by the militia again, until they are rescued by an African army unit. However in the process Burton dies.

It is revealed Matlock is taking orders from billionaire Conrad Knox (Dance) in Cape Town, South Africa.

Back in the UK, Dalton is promoted to lead Section 20. Craig Hanson (Shane Taylor), Jake’s brother and Stonebridge’s friend, now a mercenary, avenges his brother’s death by murdering Kerry.
