Outline

Section 20 return to Cape Town to recover former nuclear weapons scientist Peter Evans (Paul Freeman) after his daughter and grandson are kidnapped.

Evans and the team narrowly escape the airport by Matlock and the Mossad.

Dalton learns that Evans worked with the Israelis, and Matlock wants him to build weapons from the nuclear triggers.

The Section are later made aware that Knox is masterminding the operation, after discovering that a gun from one of Matlock’s men matches one from Rwanda, supposedly decommissioned by Knox’s humanitarian foundation, as well as finding photographs of him and Evans’ partner John Devers, who was assassinated by the Mossad.

After failing to rescue the hostages in Cape Town Stadium, Scott and Stonebridge returns to Evans, where a Mossad team ambush their safe house.

Scott realises that the lead female agent Rebecca Levi (Lyne Renée) placed a tracking device on him when they had sex earlier in the episode.

He splits off from Stonebridge and Evans. However, Stonebridge splits off when he spots Hanson and fires at him, allowing Matlock to capture Evans.
