The Americans want the British government to apologise to the families of the Marines killed in the friendly fire missile incident. Collinson refuses to accept responsibility for a situation that the CIA created by using Baxter. Back in Pakistan, Zahir Sharq is exploiting Baxter’s fragile mental state and playing ‘Russian Roulette’ with his and Porter’s lives. But in a moment of clarity, Baxter shoots one of Sharq’s guards and the two men escape. In the UK, events surrounding the ill-fated 2003 hostage extraction start to become clear. Confronting Collinson, Layla accuses him of wanting Porter dead to save his own skin and bury the truth about what happened in Basra in 2003.

As the pair recall that fateful night in 2003 Taliban forces launch an attack and what follows is a bloody and uneven battle from which few men would escape…
