Episode 2: Mad Dogs
The firefight against French Special Forces aboard the Dowager Joan has left Jem dead and Caroline in a coma, while the rest of Red Troop face a full judicial inquiry that could land them in jail. Dempsey tries to rally the troops but Louis and Jamie don't want to toe the party line. And the men are shaken up by the arrival of a tough new troop commander, Captain Ian Macalwain.
Episode 4: The List
Red Troop is offered an unofficial black bag heist to steal a list of terrorist targets from a vault. Controlled by an American diplomat, the deadly list is held in a virtually impenetrable security centre, accessible only through sewers and an old wartime bunker. With help from expert safe-cracker John Magnusson, all except Macalwain agree. But if they are caught, the SAS will disown them.
