Outline

After a minor firefight in Albania, both Section 20 and Fortier reach an impasse on finding Chetri, and the two groups reluctantly agree to work together on bringing her in alive.

From a CIA station in Zagreb, Croatia they track her to a meeting in the city with Sgt. Mark Weathercombe, a member of the Royal Military Police SIB. However, it is revealed that Weathercombe is being blackmailed by the Krasnyye Volki, a covert Russian military unit under Arianna’s orders, who kill him and kidnap Chetri during a firefight with the team. Fortier and her staff are killed when hidden explosives detonate in the station.

Retreating to a CIA safe house, Novin theorises the Russians want Hiraji’s intel to gain power over the British and American governments. Coltrane reluctantly contacts Zarkova, who uncovers the lone survivor of the station attack, analyst Bruno Rodgers, is a Russian double agent, and also unveils Arianna Demarchi’s identity as a Russian operative. Novin and Wyatt apprehend Rogers before he is repatriated, and learn Chetri is being taken to a black site in Crimea.

Chetri is brutally interrogated by Arianna’s men at the site, and she appears to capitulate and give them access to the cloud site where she stored Hiraji’s intel. However, the code activates a virus that destroys the data when it is accessed. Novin, Coltrane and Wyatt parachute into the area to extract her, but are unable to penetrate the interrogation room, and are forced to watch Arianna execute Chetri and escape.

Exiting the site, they agree to split up and meet across the border in two days. Four months later, Coltrane is shown to be interned in a Russian work camp in Siberia.
