Outline

In Wudya, Silva manages to convince Sabitha not to kill Barker and to surrender. In custody, Sabitha admits to stealing a drone console from the base as part of a Wudyan dissident movement. Sabitha reveals that she and her father Chapman had been concerned about Wudyan’s human rights abuses. Silva manages to convince the Wudyan and British authorities to allow Sabitha to return to the United Kingdom to face trial. After questioning Barker, Silva searches for a traitor within the base, who organised the theft of the drone console. As part of her investigation, Silva questions a wealthy Wudyan man, who proves uncooperative. While driving with Russell, the two women are held at gunpoint by a Wudyan man. Back in Scotland, Longacre learns from Daniel Ramsay that Barker had run a social media account documenting human rights abuses in Wudyan. Following an argument with Silva, Longacre encounters Sutherland, who reveals detals of the drone plot. Later, she leads a successful manhunt that captures Sutherland.
