Outline

Knox hires corrupt lawyer Christian Lucas (Nyasha Hatendi) to help sell one of the remaining weapons to a Nigerian militia.

Section 20 track the weapon outside Johannesburg. However as Scott and Stonebridge chase the truck, the driver is fired upon by local police; the crash results in the truck’s explosion, causing radiation to leak. Stonebridge realises that his desire for revenge is distracting him.

As a result of the leak, Section 20 is now assisted by South African authorities.

After saving him from gangsters, they plant a tracker on Lucas for his next meeting with Knox. However, it becomes apparent that Bryant told Knox about Lucas.

Stonebridge gives chase to a fleeing Hanson as Scott follows Bryant. Stonebridge corners Hanson, but he is forced to stand down after they are surrounded by police officers, and Hanson is arrested instead. Knox kills Lucas.
