Plot []
Scorpia delivers a thumb drive to the Prime Minister’s office. On it lies a chilling digital manifesto outlining the existence of the "Invisible Sword," a weapon capable of mass devastation. Scorpia's ultimatum: erase billions in debts owed by developing nations or face the catastrophic consequences.
With the nation teetering on the brink of financial ruin, Madam Secretary calls upon MI6's Alan Blunt for assistance. Despite doubts about the legitimacy of the threat, MI6 operative Jones takes the matter seriously, dispatching Pritchard and Smithers to track down the source of the ominous video.
Their investigation leads them to a seemingly abandoned office in Hackney Downs, but Pritchard triggers a deadly trap, leaving Jones to grapple with the grim reality of the situation. Meanwhile, in Malta, Alex and Tom embark on a perilous mission to uncover the secrets of Casanto, a clandestine laboratory nestled aboard a ship owned by the enigmatic Kovacic.
As Alex infiltrates the vessel, he finds himself entangled in a deadly game of cat and mouse with Nile, Julia's formidable operative. With time running out and explosions looming, Alex must navigate treacherous waters to unravel the truth about Scorpio and his own uncertain future.
