Outline

Hanson escapes Stonebridge’s clutches. Rebecca turns down Scott’s offer to join forces and rescue Evans and his family.

Evans, meanwhile, is taken to Knox to rig the triggers into four nuclear bombs, with the intent on liberating Africa, “to a point where its voice is not just heard but listened to.”

Stonebridge meets with Ava (Olivia Grant), Knox’s daughter, as a shipment of weapons from Sierra Leone is rerouted to the docks instead of Knox’s decommission facilities, to convince her of her father’s corrupt dealings.

Section 20 report the shipment to the local police, however when the police raid, Scott is arrested before he can shoot Hanson. Realising that Stonebridge is telling the truth, Ava tells him about one of Knox’s facilities.

Section 20 raid the facility, and although the hostages are rescued, the mercenaries escape with the nuclear weapons.

As the hostages are taken to safety, Rebecca assassinates Evans.

To prevent deportation from South Africa by corrupt official Joseph Dreyer (Nick Reding), who is in league with Knox, Dalton decides that Section 20 should go dark in order to catch him.
