Outline

Bibi goes to the railway station to deploy the canisters of sarin gas. Allison tries to convince Dar that Ivan is one of her assets where she gets Russian intelligence. Bibi releases a video demanding that the Islamic State will be officially recognised. The video includes Quinn apparently dying in the gas chamber.

Meanwhile, Laura and Jonas interview a suspected jihadist, Faisal Marwan, who was freed by the German government along with Zayd. Faisal is looking to file a lawsuit against the German government. Faisal also reveals that Zayd told him about an upcoming attack in Berlin. Unsure of what to do with the info, Otto calls Saul for help. He agrees to turn over Faisal but asks Saul to guarantee his safety, but Faisal is captured and taken away by BND agents once he leaves the building.

Ivan confirms that Syria has enough gas to annihilate Berlin. Bibi finds out that one of his members has injected Quinn with the antidote that will limit the effects of sarin gas. By inspecting their gear, he discovers that it was Zaheer and kills him with a gunshot to the head. Bibi and his men are now on their way to the railway station; Bibi informs Qasim that he switched his pack with Zaheer’s to protect him. Also, Carrie and Astrid locate Quinn through the type of mosaic floor seen in the video. Quinn is found to be still alive by Carrie and Astrid and is taken to hospital for treatment.
