Outline

Carrie decides to send her daughter back to the US as she pursues whoever is trying to kill her. She takes refuge in a safe house with Jonas just outside Berlin. At the same time, Saul finds out about Allison’s plot to get rid of him. Meanwhile, Quinn visits Astrid, a BND intelligence officer and his former lover, to inquire about Carrie’s whereabouts.

Numan, the computer hacker who possesses the leaked documents, contacts Laura and gives her a copy of more of the leaked files, but she finds the copy blank. Unknown to Numan, Korzenik actually stole the documents with the intention of selling them to the Russians, giving Numan the blank hard drive. Carrie, off her medication, becomes agitated and fights with Jonas. Quinn tries to track Carrie by kidnapping Jonas’s son and tracing the phone call that alerts Jonas. Carrie, sensing that her killer is on the way to the safe house, runs out into the woods carrying a rifle while Jonas goes back to the city to find his son.

Quinn arrives at the safe house in search of Carrie. Carrie shoots him with her rifle but Quinn is wearing a bulletproof vest. He flanks her and chokes her unconscious. Saul is also revealed to be sleeping with Allison.
