Outline

Carrie (Claire Danes) asks Dennis Boyd (Mark Moses) to confess to helping the ISI, but he denies involvement. In the middle of the session, Martha Boyd (Laila Robins) pulls Dennis out and reprimands Carrie, but this is shown to be a ploy, as Martha agrees with Carrie’s suspicions. Martha later catches Dennis trying to escape the embassy and locks him up.

During the prisoner exchange, the CIA and ISI stand at opposite ends of an airstrip. Both sides release their prisoners at the same time. A teenage boy wearing a suicide vest follows along with Saul (Mandy Patinkin). At this point, Saul sits down and refuses to move because he doesn’t wish to see those prisoners go free. Carrie approaches Saul and pleads with him. Finally, Saul agrees and rises up, and the exchange succeeds.

On the way back to the Embassy, the three-car convoy transporting Saul and Carrie is struck by two RPGs. The CIA staff detect the explosions, and Lockhart (Tracy Letts) sends the embassy’s security guards to the scene. When Martha visits Dennis in the cell, and tells him what happened, it occurs to Dennis that the explosions are a diversion for an attack on the embassy. He confesses to Martha that he told Tasneem Qureishi (Nimrat Kaur) about the embassy’s hidden tunnel.

Haissam Haqqani (Numan Acar) and a platoon of soldiers, all armed with assault rifles, make use of the tunnel and get inside.
