Outline

Wyatt helps Coltrane escape from the prison camp after bribing a guard, but before leaving he confronts another prisoner in the infirmary; the analyst who worked with Arianna when Chetri was killed. He discovers the GRU is investing $250 million in Arianna, using her to take over the Albanian mafia and establish links with organised crime throughout Europe.

Novin interrogates Arianna’s former handler Sevastian Levkin at a casino in Yerevan, Armenia, and executes him to avenge Chetri. Coltrane reveals Arianna is due to receive the money in the garrison town of Nova Golensk on the Black Sea, and proposes destroying the majority of it, stealing the rest and killing Arianna.

Wyatt questions the morality of doing so, viewing it as a vengeful criminal act as opposed to a military operation. Realizing the move to not be expected by the Russians due to its unlikelihood of success, the team manages to break into the military tunnels underneath the town and find the vault containing the money. They take $15 million for themselves and use explosives to blow up the remaining pallets, but are forced to leave without Arianna when they are detected.

The team break into a restaurant and offer the owner the stolen money to get them a doctor for Novin, who had been shot during the escape. However, he notices the notes all have identical serial numbers, revealing Arianna switched the pallets with counterfeit currency before the team arrived.

Months later, Arianna has betrayed her Russian handlers and the Albanians, using the money to flee and start anew in Guanajuato, Mexico. She is tracked down by Coltrane, who executes her. Coltrane is met by a fully healed Novin and Wyatt to discuss their future.

Revealing they are no longer blacklisted, Coltrane attempts to convince the two to stay in Section 20, but they politely refuse and part ways.
