Quinn calls Lockhart who orders the embassy staff to destroy all documents and hard drives as there is an imminent threat to the embassy. As the embassy staff hurries to do as they’re told, Lockhart receives the embassy’s crown jewels – the list of all assets that Sandy had maintained in Pakistan all these years and proceeds to the embassy’s vault. But Haqqani and his men succeed in entering thru the tunnel and starts killing embassy staff and Lockhart barely escapes. Haqqani sees the safe empty and makes the remaining embassy members kneel in front of him to make them talk, including Max and Fara. He makes a beeline for Fara asking her where the list is and when she refuses to answer, he insults her for being a Muslim who kills other Muslims. Meanwhile, Quinn and another marine are in the basement and they overhear that Haqqani is proceeding to the vault where Lockhart and the ‘list’ is. The two start killing the rest of Haqqani’s men and proceed to the vault.
Meanwhile, back at Carrie’s convoy, the snipers have not let up so Carrie is given a gun be a marine to help them fight back but it seems she is not a good shot. Carrie is worried why the soldiers that Khan promised had still not yet arrived. Haqqani arrives at the vault and the embassy staffs (including Ambassador Martha and Lockhart) see him coming with a handful of embassy members in tow. Haqqani starts executing the hostages unless they open the door. Three more die and when they get to Fara who they take at knifepoint, Lockhart agrees to come out. Against the ambassador’s orders, Lockhart tries to save Fara but when he has givent he documents, Haqqani proceeds to kill her anyway. Quinn and the other marine start shooting the moment they see Fara fall. They manage to injure most of his men, including Haqqani himself but they were able to escape by setting off a bomb making it impossible for Quinn to follow. So Quinn returns to the vault and sees the other embassy members still in shock with a weeping Max holding Fara.
The backup finally arrives to take Carrie and Saul back to the embassy. Upon arrival, they see the flag that Haqqani placed in front and knew at once that the embassy had been infiltrated. Four hours later, the ambassador and Lockhart sit and watch news of the embassy attack that left around 40 Americans dead. A call comes in from the White House and they are ordered to evacuate the embassy. Max and Carrie sit next to the bodies and Max chastises Carrie for always being mean to Fara but Carrie defends that she was just training her to be strong. In the end, she relents and agreed that she wished she had treated Fara better. Lockhart arrives to tell Carrie about the order from the White House to take U.S. presence out of Pakistan and end diplomatic relations. Lockhart tells Carrie that they're being evacuated the next morning but Carrie insists that she needs to stay behind to make sure all of their assets are safe. Lockhart admits that it was his fault for giving over the list but Carrie semi-consoles him by saying she's unsure of what she would have done too. Meanwhile the ambassador visits Dennis in his cell and she tells him that they’re returning to the US tomorrow. She also informs him that he will be charged with treason while her fate remains unclear. Dennis says he was sorry as everything was his fault for giving information to the enemy. Dennis asks for her belt in order to kill himself but at first Martha refuses to agree helping to kill him. Dennis it is the only way to save Martha’s career and spare their son, Toby from the embarrassment of knowing his father was a traitor. The ambassador relents but instead of giving her own belt, she gets Dennis’ belt from the locker and tossed it toward him before leaving.
Quinn asks Saul where he thinks Haqqani may be heading but Saul is unsure of where he was held hostage. Quinn is frustrated as Saul can’t seem to remember anything and he breaks down crying. Carrie intervenes to tell Quinn to give Saul a break as they are being pulled out of Pakistan. But Quinn doesn’t want to give up and just walk away so he decided to search the dead bodies of Haqqani’s men for clues. Carrie talks to Saul and he feels guilty for those who died but Carrie believes that Haqqani had planned this from the start that’s why he killed Sandy, even way before Saul arrived.
Carrie makes a heartbreaking call to Fara’s father to tell him of his daughter’s death. While everyone is still in a state of shock over what happened, Quinn leaves the embassy after retrieving a cellphone from one of Haqqani’s men. He knows he is being followed so he circles around and confronts the guys following him and forced them to take him to Haqqani. Upon arrival, he knocks the guy out and gets a second cellphone from him. The next day, everyone is being evacuated from the embassy and Carrie informs Lockhart that Quinn is missing. She insists on staying behind for five days to find Quinn and Lockhart reluctantly allows her. The ambassador learns that Dennis didn’t kill himself and approaches her husband with the look of total disgust for knowing he was such a coward. Carrie ushers Saul into the car and says she’s staying to find Quinn. He wishes her luck and tells her to be careful. As the cars pull away, fear and uncertainty overtakes her...I just wish she finds Quinn.
