Episode guide[]

In a pharmacy laboratory, a white powder is filled into pills, which are packed in a bag and then sold to Tasneem Qureshi. Meanwhile, CIA director Lockhard arrives in Islamabad and is greeted by the ambassador. He's surprised that Carrie isn't there. He wants to know what's going on with her and John Redmond and especially Quinn defend her and her decisions by saying she's under a lot of pressure.

Carrie and Fara discuss the next steps of their mission when Carrie wants Fara to finally say she sent Aayan to his death. Fara replies that they all did. Meanwhile, Quinn is looking for Carrie in her apartment and ends up calling her. Carrie explains that she is looking for Saul with Fara and Max. Dennis Boyd just about hides from Quinn. As Quinn sets off again, Dennis trades Carrie's pills for the ones Tasneem bought.

Lockhard summarizes the latest events and explains that the priority now is to save Saul. Carrie arrives and explains that she has a lead on Haqqani. He is ill and you have the opportunity to get to him through a doctor. The conversation ends because Lockhard is told that the Pakistani delegation has arrived.

Haqqani drives through the desert and Saul asks what value he has to him. Haqqani explains that he is not attacked by him and has not felt so free for a long time.

The US ambassador and her team meet with a Pakistani delegation, including Bunny Latif, Tasneem and Aasar Khan, and discuss how to proceed. Martha explains that Pakistan has contacts with Haqqani and she should help him get him back. It is argued that there is little in return for Saul, as Lockhard points out that the Saul kidnapping and other events could not have happened without the help of the military or ISI. The accusation is denied, but Lockhard makes it clear that if Saul does not make it safely back to the embassy, the funds to Pakistan will have to be cut. This ends the conversation. Martha complains about Lockhard's actions and not being privy to such things.

Carrie takes Aasar Khan aside and asks him about Farhad Ghazi because he is said to be involved in Saul's kidnapping. Aasar is covered, but agrees to investigate and check Carrie's facts. Aasar offers to get to the bottom of the matter immediately. They want to meet at the airport 30 minutes later. Carrie rushes to her office and freshens up. She takes several of her pills.

Dennis arrives at the embassy, where Martha is writing her resignation because Lockhard ruined all her work. Dennis explains that he is convinced that she is the right ambassador and that their relationships can be rebuilt. Martha is surprised that he reacts this way because he would like to leave the country, but he only replies that he is slowly getting used to the country.

Quinn and Carrie are on their way to the airport and Carrie seems very tired. Quinn says she needs to talk to him, and Carrie explains that while she understands Quinn's decision, she still thinks Haqqani should have been attacked.

Carrie and Quinn are at the airport with Aasar and want to see some security cameras, but the critical minutes aren't there. Carrie is suspicious and thinks they are being tricked. She has a hunch and suspects a colleague who has just come out of the back room. But her guess turns out to be wrong.

Haqqani is celebrated on the streets as he drives through his hometown. In the CIA headquarters, you can see all this with a drone and are powerless. Haqqani greets his children whom he has not seen for ages. Suddenly, his eldest son throws a shoe at Saul. Haqqani rebukes him, stating that he must rise above being the enemy. As long as Saul is his prisoner, nothing should happen to him. Haqqani greets his wife and they all go inside. Meanwhile, Carrie has reached headquarters and asks what to do next. Carrie suggests that he should be freed immediately. John Redmond explains how dangerous it is there and how you don't stand a chance. Carrie is angry and becomes aggressive since everyone is against her plan. She should calm down first.

Carrie feels worse and worse and thinks she's going insane. Meanwhile Saul sits at the table with Haqqani and his family and talks over dinner about politics, especially 9/11 and responsibilities, as well as which method and which religion is better.

Carrie's phone rings, waking her up. It is Max who explains that she is the nurse she is looking for, starting her shift. Carrie has trouble seeing clearly and drags herself to the bathroom, where she takes a pill and pockets more. She sets off and perceives impressions extremely.

Lockhard talks to Hank Wonham about ways to save Saul; but they don't have a concrete plan ready yet. Meanwhile, Haqqani is sleeping with his wife and Saul overhears it from afar. Meanwhile, Carrie has arrived at the hospital, but she still feels very bad. She sees Kiran and speaks to her. She wants the medicine for Aayan's uncle, so she wants to talk to the nurse. But since Carrie speaks very quickly, seems confused and is very demanding and aggressive, Kiran fends her off. A security guard arrives, and Carrie thinks it's Quinn. A fight ensues and Carrie flees into the street. There, their perceptions are always more extreme. She throws up and feels persecuted. Suddenly she sees the attack on Sandy Bachman in front of her and Carrie is getting more and more panicked. She is eventually caught by the police, pulls out her gun and shoots, but she only imagined that, too. She is captured and taken away.

Lockhard wonders if Saul and Haqqani are still inside the guarded house, and is told it can't be said. Haqqani is traveling with Saul in the desert. He tells Saul they are eight miles from Afghanistan.

Lockhard is woken up because Martha Boyd wants to talk to him. She explains that he has ruined her work of the last four years. She wants to know what progress has been made. When she realizes that these are limited, she explains that the foreign minister of Pakistan called her and might have something for her. Lockhard wants to be at the meeting and Martha makes it clear that it will go the way she wants it to.

Carrie is in prison and continues to have delusions and extreme perceptions. She will be picked up and taken away. Meanwhile, Saul has also arrived at the destination with Haqqani. Haqqani explains that there will be an exchange with him and several prisoners on the other side. Saul does not want to believe that such an exchange will be made because of him, but Haqqani explains that everything is already arranged.

"I was willing to let you die." - Mathison, Carrie

Carrie is taken to a house and released. She hears a man whom she surprises and overwhelms. But when she wants to strike, she recognizes who the man is. It's Brody and Carrie can't believe her eyes. She doesn't want to believe it's Brody and thinks she's being punished for letting him die. Brody asks if it's so hard to accept that he's still alive. Carrie begins to cry and snuggles into the arms of Brody, who is actually Aasar Khan.

Say What?
I was willing to let you die.
Listen to me. I don't know what you're talking about. No one has died.
