Synopsis[]
Edo leads a group of agents in an attack on the Manticore France's headquarters in Paris. Just as Diana is about to get her hands on the weapon, she is forced to decide which side she is on, as she had to do eight years earlier, the night Citadel was destroyed.
Plot Summary[]
Edo gives a powerful speech as they prepare to attack Manticore France. Diana relies on medication to stay focused during the mission, which is led by Edo’s brother. Diana goes into Citadel Italy, where she encounters Andrea, another Citadel agent working to destroy Citadel equipment before Manticore can seize it. Despite his efforts, Andrea is captured and taken to Manticore France for questioning, though Diana manages to maintain her cover as an undercover agent.
In the present, Diana and the other agents are disarmed before being taken into Manticore custody. Diana is handed over to Cecile and locked in a basement holding cell. Meanwhile, Edo negotiates with Cécile, proposing to share the weapon among the agencies. Though Cécile agrees, she secretly plots to betray Italy and tighten sanctions after she secures the German half of the weapon.
Diana warns Cécile of the Zani family’s trap, using the conversation as a way to buy time. Cecile reveals that the French half of the weapon is defective, hinting at an impending war. Diana uses this to stall further, as part of her plan to outmaneuver Cécile.
Edo is arrested at the airfield. He later meets with Cécile in her office, triggering the next phase of their plan to take over Manticore. Matteo leads the charge, using undetectable microscopic weapons manufactured by Zani to arm the group and bypass security. The attack goes smoothly, with Cécile not realizing until it's too late that she has walked into a trap. As communications and power are cut, Cécile is isolated in her office. Edo kills the guards and uses the technology to regroup with Diana in the server room, where he retrieves the real French half of the weapon.
Believing this is a new beginning for Manticore Italy, Edo and Diana take the French half of the weapon. Cécile’s lockdown is lifted, but all her data has been stolen. Edo and Diana return home victorious and they sleep together. Afterward, Edo expresses his desire to share control with Ettore.
Diana struggles with her decision not to kill Edo. Edo is optimistic about turning Manticore into something positive, but Diana remains doubtful, yearning for freedom and an escape from this world. Edo gives her money and erases her from the system so she is free to leave. However, he really wants her to stay with him. Diana has to decide what's next for herself.
