Carrie is having flashbacks to when she was captured, and Yevgeny Gromov just left her there. The United States powers that be sit down and wait for the Vice-President, he arrives and announces that General Ryan has been in touch with the Taliban delegation and have confirmed that Saul is their prisoner. Haqqani is convinced that the Americans were involved in the attempt on his life. They are threatening to kill Saul at first signs of trying to rescue Saul. Ben wants to fire Saul, the VP says maybe they should get him back first.
Carrie walks into her new boss, Mike Dunne’s office tells him she is not leaving. She tells him that Yevgeny Gromov is in Kabul and she is curious about what he is up to. Whatever it is, Mike says they can’t touch him, even at arm’s length. Carrie says he is the one that contacted her and gave her the lead on Samira Noori. Carrie thinks they are obligated to find out why he did that.
Carrie says he keeps knocking on her door. She asks him to look her in the eye and tell her that she doesn’t get some operational payback. He gives her 48 hours, if he doesn’t contact her by then, she is on her way back to Germany.
Saul is in prison, he tells the Taliban leader that someone in his camp is releasing information.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Haissam Haqqani’s son, Jalal, is surprised to find out that his father is alive, he tells him to come to him. His son is worried to go to him, what if he thinks it was him who tried to kill him.
Joe is trying to work, to guys come in and scuffle with him, he is furious and tells them to leave him alone, his boss just got taken, prisoner. Carrie goes to the gate to get a letter that was dropped off for her, it is an address and a time written on the note.
Jalal arrives to see his father, they hug. Jalal says that he came as quickly as he could, his father says that they have been betrayed. Jalal says he told him not to trust the Americans, his father says it wasn’t them. He says that Saul is a spy, Jalal says Saul is a liar. His father says it is someone who wants to sabotage the peace process.
Jalal swears it wasn’t him.
Carrie is with Mike, shows him the address and time. She says the handwriting is a match, it is Yevgeny. Mike says she needs backup, Carrie doesn’t want it. Mike wants to slip a bug into her purse, or one team, in a van, where nobody can see.
Jalal is told that Saul is making his father crazy. He is poisoning his mind that there is a traitor in their camp. Jalal has to figure something out. Jalal goes to look in his bag, he has a gun and a cell phone. He calls Tasneem on an open line and tells her they have a problem, his father is listening in.
Haqqani goes to see Saul, tells him that he is free to go and nobody will stop him. Saul quickly puts on his socks and shoes, he follows Haqqani and asks him why. They talk, Haqqani tells him that he grew up in Afghanistan, then he reveals that Jalal tried to have him killed, the only one out of four sons still alive. Haqqani says he has to either kill his son or step down. Saul asks him to do neither. Saul reminds him that he is called the arrow of God for a reason.
Carrie is waiting for Yevgeny, he is fifteen minutes late, Mike’s patience is running thin as he watches her.
Jalal is violently pulled from his bed and brought outside. Saul witnesses it. His father comes in, Jalal is calling for him. Haqqani tells Halal it was him and shoots near him, he asks for the truth. Jalal tells him that he is a tired old man. Haqqani tells him that he doesn’t understand how things work, they are just strong enough. Haqqani releases his son and asks him to join him on a new path.
Jalal says he will try, for him. Haqqani kisses him on the forehead. Haqqani says he still needs the truth, he needs his son to confess. Saul is still watching when Haqqani raises his gun to his son’s head. Jalal says he has done nothing wrong, tells his father to go ahead and shoot him if he doesn’t trust him. Jalal starts to say a prayer. Haqqani hits him with the gun on the side of the head and tells his men to throw him in the street like the dog that he is.
Carrie is still waiting. Mike thinks Carrie made the whole thing up because she didn’t want to go back to Germany. All of a sudden, they see Yevgeny’s approach, Carrie. He asks her if her people know, she says they do now. He asks her to follow him, he wants to make sure they can’t hear them. There are people chanting in prayer that drowns out the sound. Yevgeny says he is sorry, he didn’t mean to leave her in Moscow at the asylum. He says he really was just trying to pick up where they left off. Carrie doesn’t remember. He says he saved her life for one thing. She was trying to hang herself with a bedsheet and had he arrived a minute later she would have been gone. He talks about the moment when she considered drowning her own child. Yevgeny tells her that he has to go. Meanwhile, Mike is upset that he couldn’t hear anything.
David goes in to see the President, he says Jalal was promised the keys to the kingdom if he killed his father. He needs David to call Saul and walk him through things there. David tells to be wary of Ben Hayes, he is positioning himself to exploit the fault lines. The President tells him to let him know when he puts a pole in the field.
Saul is with Haqqani, he says if he is serious about peace, he needs to do what he has to. Haqqani says sometimes he thinks that he just wants to go home while he still can. Haqqani says ok, he agrees. Saul says they have a deal there. Haqqani says that they have known each other for a long time, he is counting on him to make sure America keeps their part of the deal. Haqqani says he is worried that he made a mistake with Jalal, that he didn’t put his head in a back and send it to his fighters as a warning.
Carrie meets with Saul, they have David and the President on video cam. Saul updates Carrie on the cease-fire that Haqqani has agreed to. Carrie leaves the room and heads out, Mike asks her what the hurry is. She says that she wants to write up her report. Mike wonders where she was, she says that she was taking a walk, she went up to the University. Carrie tells him that Yevgeny is feeling underappreciated. She says she left it in his court, either way, she doesn’t think she should get on a plane anytime soon.
Jalal is still walking, he has a blanket around him and looks like he is going to collapse at any moment. He sees a white pickup truck coming, it is Naseem. He runs to her and gets in the truck.
THE END!
