Someone is mixing up capsules – looks like they’re planning on messing with Carrie’s meds. The man mixes up a batch of white and green capsule and hands it to Tasreem. She takes the packet of pills and leaves the pharmacy. At the Embassy, a convoy of cars streams in. Ambassador Boyd waits and the Director of the CIA Lockhart gets out. He asks when the Pakistanis will be there but says he’s not confident they’ll help release Saul.
She introduces John Redmond and Quinn. She asks to talk 15 minutes before the meeting. Lockhart asks where Carrie is and Redmond says she’s pulled herself out because she was overruled in the ops room. Redmond tells Lockhart he thought it was Carrie’s choice to make and Quinn says her CI was just killed and she was taking a hard line that he disagreed with. He tells Quinn to get her and says this is no time to sulk.
She’s with Max and Fara – they are trying to figure out what drugs Aayan was getting for Haqqani. She tells Fara to go ahead and tell her she sent the boy to his death but Fara says they all did but she’s visibly upset. Quinn knocks on Carrie’s apartment door then lets himself in. She’s not home. He pokes around then calls her. He asks where she is and says Lockhart wants her. She says to tell him she’s on the way. He asks what she’s doing and she says she’s trying to find Saul. Quinn says that’s good.
Boyd’s creepy hubby Dennis is hiding and Quinn didn’t see him. He’s there to snap more photos of her drugs. He counts out some of her pills, flushes them down the toilet and replaces them with the ones Tasreem had made. He compares his photo to how he replaced the bottles then leaves. Lockhart chastises the station personnel and says they have been dysfunctional but are Saul’s best hopes. Redmond says the gag order is making it harder. Carrie comes in.
Redmond says all anyone needs to know is they’re looking for Haqqani. She asks to talk to Lockhart privately and she says she has a lead on Haqqani. She says he has a serious illness that requires medication. She says she’s following up now. They get a call saying the Pakistani delegation is there and Carrie and Lockhart go to face them down.
Saul and Haqqani ride in a car and Saul tells him he has no value to him because his knowledge is obsolete but Haqqani says he’s proven his worth. He says being able to drive freely in the light of day is because of Saul’s presence. He tells Saul he hasn’t seen his wife or children in three years because it’s been too dangerous. He says thanks to Saul, he will again. He calls him his human shield.
The Ambassador tells the Minister she knows this is difficult but knows they talk to these people sometimes. Tasreem is there and Bunny demurs. Martha asks him to exert some influence but Bunny says Saul is a big prize and nothing they could offer Haqqani would pay for that. Lockhart tells him it’s time for blunt talk. He says they know Haqqani didn’t pull this off alone. Bunny asks what he means.
Lockhart says his predecessor was taken from an airport guarded by the Pakistani military and the ISI. Bunny asks what he’s accusing him of and Lockhart says there are people among them sympathetic to Haqqani as they were to Bin Laden. Lockhart calls them double dealers and says it’s unacceptable. Lockhart says to get Saul returned or Pakistan’s aid package will be under review immediately. That shocks even Martha.
Bunny tells Martha goodbye but doesn’t address Lockhart. The delegation leaves. Martha asks what in God’s name he’s thinking and says threats don’t work here. She says he doesn’t have that authority but he say the President gave it to him. She asks why she wasn’t told and he says he’s telling her now. Carrie also leaves the meeting room. Dennis lurks as the delegation walks out.
Carrie asks for a word with Aasar and says she knows he was one of the last people to see Saul alive. She says he’s at the epicenter of this shit storm. She says they know about Ghazi being at the airport and that Saul saw him there. She calls the ISI into question and says to prove her wrong by showing her all the surveillance tapes from the airport. He tells her to hop in the car with him now and they’ll go.
She agrees to meet him there in 30 and he says terminal three by customs. She goes up to her apartment, takes one of the fake pills and then starts to have a panic attack of sorts. She cools off with a wash cloth. Dennis comes to see Martha who says she’s drafting a letter of resignation. She says her position there is no longer tenable. He closes the door and asks what happened.
She tells him they are leveraging the aid package to get Saul’s release without telling her. He says it seems a small price to get Saul back. She says Lockhart destroyed her relationships there. He tells her he won’t let her give up her life’s work. She is surprised and says she thought he hated it there. Dennis says it’s starting to grow on him.
Quinn drives Carrie and she says she gets why he did what he did but says taking out Haqqani was right even if it took out Saul too. She says she knows it’s harsh but says Saul would agree. She says Saul is humiliated right now and would put a bullet in his brain to prevent them from moving mountains to get them. She says she’s glad Saul isn’t dead and says it’s bad enough to have Aayan on her conscience too.
They are at the airport looking at footage and Aasar says the cameras on Saul’s concourse were out. They do have some footage to show them and it’s him lurking near the coffee stand. She asks Aasar if he doesn’t find it suspicious that there were no working cameras from where Saul disappeared. He says it was unfortunate and then she asks what they did with the evidence.
She starts hearing crazy noises – like clanging when a woman is stirring her coffee and other aggravated sounds. She thinks a guard is hiding something in his bag and makes him show her, but it’s just his lunch. Whatever they gave her is making her freak out horribly. The nurse they were looking for has gone missing and they assume she’s dead.
Carrie tells them to find Aayan’s GF Kiran because she likely knew about the medicine. Haqqani and Saul ride through a village where Haqqani is greeted like a hero. Lockhart gets a report that Haqqani’s Mercedes is rolling toward his former HQ and he tells them to get Carrie up there now. They are furious that the terrorist is staging a public homecoming under their noses.
The car pulls up and Haqqani’s young children flock around them. He hugs and kisses them all. One of the kids throws a show at Saul and Haqqani picks it up and asks whose it is. Marwand says it is his – he’s an older child. Marwand says that man is the enemy. His dad tells him no harm must come to Saul and he must hide his feelings toward him. He tells his son to apologize and he does.
Saul nods. Haqqani takes them all inside his compound. Saul isn’t bound, but is escorted by guards. Haqqani sees his wife and goes to her. She cries and embraces him. Saul is forced the follow them all inside. Carrie comes to the ops center and Lockhart asks what their options and assets are. John says they haven’t been able to break into that area.
Carrie says they need to rescue him today before they move but they tell her it takes weeks to prepare this. Redmond says it’s impenetrable in that area. She curses at him and Lockhart asks what’s gotten into her. She says nothing but is clearly agitated. Lockhart tells her to go take a break then asks to talk to the White House and special ops in Kabul.
Carrie goes up to her apartment and sits on her bed panting. It looks like the walls are falling apart around her. She curses and falls back onto her bed then pulls her blankets around her. Saul asks Haqqani what they were shouting at him in the streets and he says they were calling him the Arrow of God. Saul asks isn’t he tired of war and Haqqani says they could have left them alone but Saul reminds him of 9/11.
Haqqani says they did not do that, al-Qaeda did and Saul says they hid them. Haqqani says many of those that helped were Saudis but they didn’t occupy their country. Haqqani says America came, stayed and destroyed their culture and religion. Saul says his version of Islam is regressive and backward. Saul asks if he’s okay with subjugation of women and says they have taught an entire generation to live with one foot in the grave.
Saul says – you just killed your nephew then sacrificed a lot of his family at the wedding. Haqqani mocks Christianity but Saul says he’s a Jew. That takes him back a little. Carrie wakes when he phone buzzes. It’s Max and he says Kiran just started a shift at the hospital. She says to pick her up in half an hour. She goes into her bathroom, unsteady and takes one of the fake pills and pockets two more to take with her. As she walks out, she hears the fluorescents buzzing insanely loudly.
She heads out through the secret tunnels and is looking rough. The traffic is ultra loud to her. Lockhart talks to special ops and he says the potential for casualties his high and they could just kill Saul at any time. Lockhart says to work on a viable plan and call back. Haqqani is with his wife having loud sex and Saul is chained nearby, close enough to hear everything. He is clearly miserable being neat the terrorist sex fest.
Carrie makes it to the hospital and looks for Kiran. She is very disoriented. She sees Kiran and runs to her. She introduces herself and says she was writing an article about Aayan. She says she heard about her and asks where Aayan is. She says he went to see his uncle to take him medicine. Kiran says she knows nothing about this and Carrie struggles to recall the name. She curses.
Then Quinn is there and tells her she can’t harass hospital staff. She asks if he’s going to tell her shit about caring for her again and she assaults him then runs out into the street. She’s lost her head scarf and then vomits near a market stall then backs away. She’s coming apart at the seams. She hears loud music everywhere then sees a monkey and screams.
A car horn sounds and she begins to have a flashback of when Sandy dies. She runs into a large man who curses her in Urdu. She roams the streets and falls down when she is almost knocked over by a motorcycle. She sees a car there and panics. She thinks they were following her. The people step out of the car and she shoots them both. Police pull up and grab her.
She tells them to let go of her then weeps hysterically as they cuff her and drag her away. Lockhart asks if they think Saul and Haqqani are still at the house but they can’t confirm it. Quinn is there in the ops room. The guy she thought was Quinn was somebody else and she was hallucinating his face onto the other person’s.
Saul and Haqqani are back in the car and Saul sleeps. He wakes Saul and he asks if he knows where he is. Saul says he’s guessing they are in the tribal areas. Haqqani says they are eight miles from Afghanistan, the graveyard of empires. He sees a light in the distance and Haqqani cranks the car.
Martha shows up to see Lockhart. He was resting on the couch. She tells him his outburst has jeopardized four years of careful diplomacy. He says he doubts the delegacy was surprised. She asks for an update and he says they are in a holding pattern. She asks if would be good to have the Pakistanis back on their side. She says the foreign minister called and is coming at 7 to brief her.
Lockhart asks to be at the meeting and she agrees but says it has to be done her way. He agrees. Carrie is in a cell freaking out. The flies are buzzing loudly and then she’s dragged out of her cell while she demands to know where she is and begging not to be taken. Haqqani and Saul pull up to a little shack. They pull Saul out of the car and he walks behind Haqqani.
They head inside and Haqqani tells him he hopes his stay there will be short. Haqqani says he’s going to take Afghanistan back and Saul asks him and who. He says a lot of factions are going to try this. Haqqani says he’s swapping Saul for a bunch of prisoners. Saul says they will never agree to it because he’s not that valuable. He says the Director of the CIA doesn’t think so. He says it has already begun.
Carrie is taken in a strait jacket to a home. They unlace and free her and shove her into a fancy room. She goes to the French door but there’s a snarling canine outside. She backs away from the door. She opens another door and looks around the house. She hears a door open upstairs and runs back into the room. Someone comes into the room and she tackles him. It’s Brody.
He tells her not to be scared and she screams at him to get the f- away from her. He says she’s safe. He tells her to look at him. He tells her to open her eyes. She does and then slaps herself and says to wake up. He tells her to stop it. She says she saw him die and he says her mind is playing tricks on her and it’s over and he’s here now. She says he’s not and he asks why it’s so hard to believe.
She looks at him and says she wants to believe. She cries and he tells her to. He puts her hand to his face and she says – it’s really you. She cries and kisses him then hugs him to her. She holds him and sobs. She asks why he’s so cold and she asks if he’s mad at her. She says he came back to punish her for what she did because he hates her.
She says she was willing to let him die and he says he doesn’t know what she’s talking about. He says no one has died. He says he’s right in front of her and she sobs. He pulls her close and says she’s safe now. She holds him and cries and cries. She says his name over and over again. He asks who Brody is. It’s Aasar who has her and is holding her! He asks who Brody is.
THE END!
