When Lucas goes on an operation with the Russian FSB to prevent terrorists gaining control of a deadly nerve agent all but one of the terrorists is summarily executed, that one escapes and it is assumed that he is headed to London as that is the only other known location of the nerve agent. Harry is ordered to let Russian agents work alongside his own to track down the terrorist before he can get his hands on the weapon. It is clear that the Russians have a different way of doing things and that they wish to get the weapon for themselves as their sample was destroyed in the original operation. The terrorist heads to the one man who knows where the toxin is stored and when he refuses to talk he heads to his daughter's house to force her to tell him
it is a race against time for the joint MI5/FSB team to get there before she dies.
While it is rather cliché to portray the Russians as less than trustworthy is isn't too bad in this series as just about everybody gets portrayed that way, even the good guys! The story itself was fairly gripping although it appeared to be a stand alone episode which did little to advance the plot concerning Lucas's true identity apart from showing him meeting his former girlfriend in the final scene.
