Finally, all the pieces of the puzzle come into place, and the connection between the arms trail and the deep state is laid bare.

On the trail of their breadcrumb, Harry, Leyla and Aïcha do some more digging. Leyla and Aïcha manage to get away, but Harry is arrested.

With Aïcha close to danger, Harry must act quickly. He convinces Al Moctar to hold off on any action, and realizes that the deep state may be pulling away from him.

Harry, Aïcha and Leyla are chased out of Bamako and driven, out of necessity, to return to Al Moctar's camp. In the search for the trio, Jones reveals the Collins tape to Miller, who is furious. He returns to Washington where he goes above Kingsley's head to Hal Weaver, the man behind the deep state, to work out how to nullify it.

True to her word, Aminata Sissoko reunites Aïcha with her family, but as she does Harry and Leyla are arrested on murder charges.

Harry and Leyla learn from Aïcha that this has all been about arms smuggling from within the Malian government.

Miller, along with Amanda Jones, flies to Mali to contain an increasingly unstable situation.

In Mali, four US Special forces and a translator are supposedly killed in an ambush.
