Outline

Scott confronts Bryant in her safe house, where she reveals that she has her own plan to stop Knox, after which she believes that the CIA, who disavowed her, will reinstate her.

She promises to reveal the location of the meeting place between Knox and the Nigerians.

When Scott returns to Section 20, he reveals that she was his handler when he worked several contract killings in 2005 until he killed a target’s child.

Bryant reveals the meeting place, but during the raid Knox, Matlock and the Nigerian leader escapes.

Section 20 realises that Knox intends to detonate the remaining bombs under his father’s old bank.

In the meantime Hanson escapes police custody and kills Matlock when he is no longer committed to the mission. Dalton spots Knox, who reveals he is holding a dead man’s trigger.

Scott and Stonebridge find the two bombs, and are instructed to defuse them at the same time. However, they are held up by the Nigerians and Hanson respectively.

Scott dispatches the Nigerians, and Stonebridge kills Hanson. They then both manage to defuse the bombs just before Knox could detonate them.

Knox shoots Dalton before killing himself for his failure. Dalton survives, and four days later, makes a deal with Whitehall to continue Section 20’s operation.
