Outline

Section 20 escapes the ambush and successfully board the ship containing Zayef and the weapons shipment on the Adriatic Sea. Despite being given a kill order by Spencer, Coltrane tells Wyatt and Novin to bring in Zayef alive, concerned they are involved in a conspiracy due to the Hidjaris’ knowledge of Marburg virus and Imperiya device, and that Spencer knew information about Mac that Coltrane never disclosed.

Captured and his weapons destroyed, Zayef tells the team both Mahir and Sharif were deep cover agents with MI6 and the CIA involved in false flag terrorism operations, and he has also been set up to provide an excuse for military intervention in the Balkans. He takes them to a hard drive containing evidence of Mahir’s activities at his village in Bosnia, but Spencer arrives with private military contractors shortly after, having been tipped off by Chetri. He explains intervention in the region was necessary to stop the flow of weapons to European terror cells, but the whole group is then attacked by a CIA hit squad operating on Fortier’s orders trying to cover up the agency’s involvement in the affair.

Although they fight off the men, Spencer is killed and Coltrane executes Zayef when the latter confesses he let Mac die a slow death. Despite wanting to be removed from a military blacklist, Chetri abandons the team with the hard drive as she does not want the conspiracy to be covered up. Meanwhile, Arianna kills Loric to assume the role of family matriarch, cementing her position of power. She is later revealed to be a deep cover Russian agent, and is congratulated by her handler on securing the Russian military’s ties with the Albanian criminal underworld.
