Strike Back

Scott and the mysterious agent Rachel Dalton are in the Kenyan desert securing the transfer of a Libyan functionary seeking asylum. Back in Britain, Stonebridge is training Section 20 recruits. Nothing goes as planned for either of them.

Taken hostage in Mogadishu by Waabri and his girlfriend Asmara, Scott and Dalton escape with the help of Stonebridge and Richmond. Sinclair is replaced as leader of Section 20. Michael and Kerry rekindle their relationship.

Still tracking down the triggers in Algeria, Scott and Stonebridge ally with Markunda, an exotic leader of a nomadic tribe to catch Othmani, the brother of an Al Qaeda leader, El Soldat.

El Soldat's forces are preparing to assault the farmhouse where Stonebridge, Scott, Markunda, and Othmani are holed up. Sinclair continues to question Dalton's command style. Karl Matlock continues to make inroads to acquire the triggers.

Section 20 races to intercept a former South African nuclear scientist, Peter Evans, from Matlock. At the airport, they run into a team of Mossad agents who want to kill Evans. Section 20 learns that Knox is behind loss of the triggers.

Stonebridge's mistake allows Matlock to capture Evans. He makes amends by enlisting Ava Knox to go against her father. Sullivan tries to convince Rebecca to leave Mossad.

Political prisoner and former Zimbabwe leader Walter Lutulu is broken out of prison by Matlock. Section 20 is breached and its members imprisoned with dire consequences.

Lilian Lutulu learns who orchestrated her father's assassination. Scott makes a promise to her to kill Knox. Down one critical person on the team, Section 20 raids Knox's camp in an attempt to retrieve the triggers.

Stonebridge warns he can't guarantee to regain control over his obsession with wife-killer Craig. One of the now assembled warheads is transported by South Nigerian anti-western rebels, represented by reputable lawyer Christian Lucas, with terrible consequences. Damien still hopes on collaboration with CIA renegade Christy, but can she be trusted?

Knox turns on his incompetent Nigerian partners. Mike gets his confrontation with Craig and the nuclear bombs are traced to Cairo, this time for financial blackmail purposes.
