Royal Family right in front of Ryan and his wife and daughter. Jack intervenes in the attack and foils their plan, killing two and capturing one of them. One of the two killed is the younger brother of Sean Miller, the man he captured. Miller vows revenge on Ryan and his family. But since he is going to Albany Prison on the Isle of Wight, the worst prison in Britain, the threat doesn't seem serious. In the meantime, the IRA, upset with O'Donnell's attack on the Royals, tries to kill him. The IRA and the ULA both claim to be motivated by patriotism, but they are fighting each other and the British are hunting both. Ryan returns to the US and the Academy and his adventure seems like a distant dream. But when O'Donnell and the ULA rescue Miller on his way to Albany Prison, the dream turns into a nightmare. Admiral Greer comes to Ryan and asks him to return to the CIA to help track down the terrorists. Greer wants Ryan back in the CIA. He too is motivated by patriotism and wants his best man back. As the tension mounts, Jack may have to re-join the CIA just to protect his wife and daughter. It is a race to find the ULA terrorists before Sean Miller and the ULA can attack him and his family. To Ryan, it's a matter of protecting his loved ones, while everyone around him is playing Patriot Games.
