President Hayes (Sam Trammell) receives word that Jalal (Elham Ehsas) will execute Max (Maury Sterling) if Haqqani's (Numan Acar) death sentence is carried out.
Hayes convinces G'ulom (Mohammad Bakri) to grant a stay of execution while a rescue mission is conducted, but he abandons that plan on advice from John Zabel (Hugh Dancy), his brash new foreign policy advisor.
In a national address, Hayes announces that Jalal was responsible for killing the president, and that Pakistan must turn him over immediately, or face an attack from the United States.
Saul arrives with a special ops team to retrieve Max's body and tells Carrie about the impending war with Pakistan.
Yevgeny alerts the Americans to his presence by firing his weapon into the air; Carrie is able to retreat back to his car, and they drive away.
