A flashback shows how R, whose real name is Renato Socci, met George Black back in the 1990s with the Balkans under UN intervention before Socci works with Black to infiltrate HCLI after the two worked together to hunt down war criminals. Another one shows how Hex was in Operation Undershaft when she was recruited from the disbanded Wide Range Communications Platoon to the Special Operations Group of the SAD, leading black ops missions against arms dealers, including Koko. Koko has a private meeting with Amalia about George Black and his quest to put arms dealers under his thumb for the CIA. Meanwhile, Koko gives her team new weapons to replace their personal weapons while conducting VIP protection exercises. Koko asks R about George, which R tries to tell Koko a little bit of the truth to hide his cover. Later on, R contacts George and persuades him to remove Hex from the operation without any luck. George however, knows that Hex's next target is Jonah and does not refrain from have him sacrificed to keep her under his control.
