Before he dies he divulges to Brett the sinister truth. It soon becomes apparent that he is being used and manipulated by former Q5 operatives in their plot to flush out the drug syndicate run by femme fatale Jo Moran. She in turn is aided by her henchman, sexual deviant Fyodor Savic, who ends up entrapping Brett in a compromise between right and wrong. With the final explosive climax on the cliffs overlooking the sea, all the pieces fall into place.
