Colonel Philip Locke manages to manipulate his Real IRA and Al-Qaida torturers, while probing for his son's murderer, until relief arrives. Mike and Damien first have to deal with Arkady's giant Russian henchman, who proves no match, then frighten Al Zuhairi's Budapest contact, car dealer Mousawi, whom Kamali pointed out, to reveal the plot's location. The team must rush to free Lock and stop a raid on the British Embassy facility to access all top-secret NATO data. Just when Mairead McKenna promises to reveal the child-killer to liberated Locke, Kamali shoots her for drawing a gun.
