Browning learns from his friend Colonel Watts that the biological weapon was developed by the terrorist Peter Erfan and goes on a search for him. There she meets Lucas Insley, a member of the military intelligence service. He explains that Erfan is just an alias under which Colonel Watts operates - and that he is investigating him himself.

Later it turns out that Insley is not the wanted terrorist, but Watts. Browning and Insley fight in a helicopter from which they fall into the water. Browning is later provided with money and a new identity by Watts. Insley, who has the same skills as Browning, continues to operate.
