Outline

Two years after the conclusion of Season 4, Carrie has quit working for the CIA in contempt over their deal with the Taliban whom have now taken over Pakistan as well as Afghanistan, and she is now living in Berlin, Germany working as the head of security for Otto Düring, a German billionaire, philanthropist and chairman of the Düring Foundation, while raising her two-year-old daughter with current boyfriend, a lawyer named Jonas Hollander.

Two anti-jihadist computer hackers, named Numan and Korzenik, accidentally get access to the CIA servers and download top secret documents detailing collaboration between the CIA and BND, Germany’s intelligence agency.

Meanwhile, Peter Quinn arrives back in the USA from a secret assignment in Syria for the past two years. Saul Berenson arrives in Berlin to look into the possible leak of classified documents. Carrie arranges security for Otto in visiting a refugee camp in Lebanon by reaching out to Al Amin, a Hezbollah commander living in hiding in Germany. Also, Saul gives Quinn a new assignment to eliminate suspected terrorists in Berlin, starting with a suspect plotting a pipe-bomb attack.
