This episode opens with a flashback to when Frank was serving with the SAS in Iraq; he and two comrades are pinned down by enemy forces and things look bleak. Frank and his friend Tommy are wounded but they all survive largely thanks to Rob, the third member of the team. Back in the present Tommy comes to ask for Frank's help; Tommy has gone missing in Libya while on a mission for MI6 but they aren't planning to send any help. Frank and Tommy head to Tripoli where they find that he isn't the only person looking for him. Rob contacts them but as they approach their meeting Rob's car explodes! Frank soon has learns that Rob has a few secrets; including a local wife and involvement in the theft of a container of the deadly poison sarin. Frank and Tommy have got themselves into a dangerous situation and getting out won't be easy.
In some ways this is a bit of an odd episode as there hardly any driving; not what one expects from 'The Transporter'; there was however plenty of action. The action started well with a firefight in Iraq and there was plenty more action before the episode was over; this included more shooting; a fight in a building's stairwell and the explosion of Rob's car. There is a twist part way through although I'm sure it won't come as a total surprise to most viewers. The story was interesting and fairly well told. Overall I'd say I enjoyed this episode but did miss the usual driving action.
