Episode guide[]

Carrie walks with Aasar through the streets, which have been decorated with posters of Haqqani's face, and talks tensely about what is happening. She tells Aasar that she will not leave Islamabad without Quinn. Aasar replies that Quinn kidnapped one of her men and is therefore an assassin. Carrie makes it clear to him that she will make sure that he gets out of Pakistan as soon as she finds him, so they have the same goal.

After the interview, Carrie hurries back to the embassy, where she tells the remaining CIA personnel, including Max, that finding Quinn is the top priority. She wants to stop him before he is killed. Max doesn't doubt that Quinn can get hold of Haqqani and suggests supporting him, but Carrie doesn't have the option.

At the same time, Quinn shows up at the apartment of a blonde woman who is startled at first but then recognizes him. He shows her the phones of Haqqani's followers and explains that he suspects the phones are a series and there must be more owned by Haqqani's men. The woman agrees to help him because she works at an embassy herself and has the resources to do so. She advises him to take a shower in the meantime and notes that he still has some clothes in her apartment.

Max goes to a safe in the embassy and takes money from it. Carrie joins right away because as the station boss, she gets a notification as soon as the safe is opened. She demands that Max look in his pocket and finds the money there, as well as a passport from Quinn. She asks Max where Quinn is and then wonders why he won't cooperate, prompting Max to blame her for Fara's death. Carrie finally replies firmly that she can't bring Fara back and doesn't want to lose anyone else, so Max should help her find Quinn so that he doesn't have to die too.

A short time later, Carrie knocks on the door of the embassy woman's apartment. When Carrie gets home, she claims she hasn't heard from Quinn lately, but lets Carrie into her apartment so she can write down her number in case she does hear from Quinn. Carrie discovers a small puddle on the floor that Quinn left after taking a shower. After Carrie disappears, the woman shows Quinn several maps of cell phones she has located. On a map, all points are in one place. Quinn is certain that Haqqani is there. He asks for her car keys and shortly thereafter meets Carrie in the garage. She quickly finds out that Quinn now knows where Haqqani is hiding and tries to convince him that trying to kill him would be suicide. But Quinn is convinced of his plan. Carrie expected him to fight back and gets two men to take him away. But Quinn knows how to defend himself and even shoots one of the men in the leg. Then he disappears. Carrie immediately takes the man who was shot to the embassy infirmary. Max shows up there and tells her that her sister called and that she should definitely call her back.

Quinn stealthly watches the building where Haqqani is hiding. In front of it he sees a grid lying on the street. He walks past it and takes photos of it unobtrusively. Meanwhile, Carrie calls her sister. She tells her that her father died the night before. She tells her not to worry about her not being there as there was nothing she could have done about it anyway. Carrie is shocked and quickly hangs up. She then goes to Max, who already knew about it, and hugs Carrie. At the same time, Quinn builds a bomb. The woman from the German embassy asks how he's going to get her to Haqqani, to which Quinn replies that Haqqani will come to the bomb. Later, Carrie calls Maggie again and asks if she can see Franny. Maggie then brings Carrie's daughter, who is starting to look more and more like her father, in front of the laptop camera and Carrie is happy to see her.

The next morning, Carrie phones Lockhart, who asks her if she heard anything, as he feels something is going on and he is no longer being kept up to date because they are trying to replace him. In the hospital, Kiran, who is being trained as a nurse there, receives an envelope containing pictures of Aayan's murder as well as a note telling her to go to a certain room. Scared, Kiran goes there and meets Peter Quinn. After convincing her that Aayan was actually killed by his uncle, he explains to her that he has also lost many friends because of Haqqani and that with her help he can make him pay for it. Kiran is willing to listen to his plan.

Carrie is waiting in front of the woman's apartment again and wants to speak to her. When she refuses, Carrie threatens to tell the German embassy about her association with Quinn, at which point the woman lets her in. She wants to know why Carrie is so keen to stop him from his plan, whereupon Carrie explains to her that Quinn actually wanted to leave the CIA. The woman replies that he's said that before, but always came back. Then a man arrives, who meanwhile has searched the woman's car and found out that Quinn is planning to build a bomb. The woman then throws Carrie out of the apartment. Meanwhile, Quinn finishes his bomb and hides it in a thin tube, which he in turn attaches to a large picture of Aayan.

Max tells Carrie that a film of Aayan's murder has been released online. It was uploaded by medical students who once studied with Aayan. The video also calls for a demonstration at the location where Haqqani is currently located. Carrie can be driven there immediately. The demonstration has already started. In the middle is Peter Quinn with the picture of Aayan. Tasneem and Aasar, meanwhile, have already launched a counter-demonstration and are telling the Pakistani police to join them, but to hold back. Once the area is safe again, Haqqani is scheduled to be moved elsewhere. After the police leave, Tasneem asks about the current status of the search for Peter Quinn and makes it clear to Aasar that if anything happens to Haqqani, she will hold him responsible.

While the two demonstration groups meet, Carrie has to approach the site on foot because cars can no longer get through. When the police show up, the protesters start to scuffle, but Quinn still manages to get the bomb under the bars. The Kiran then announces that it is time to leave. She tries to get Rahim to leave as well, but he stands in the front row and protests loudly, leading to a scuffle with the police. Meanwhile, Carrie runs with the demonstrators of Haqqani and soon discovers Aasar, who is also watching what is happening.

Quinn makes his way to a hideout from where he watches the demonstration through binoculars. The demonstrators against Haqqani have now disappeared, but his supporters stand in front of the building and call out his name. Quinn watches as Haqqani, now temporarily confined to a wheelchair, is put into a car. Shortly thereafter, Carrie makes herself visible in the crowd. Quinn calls her upset and tells her to leave. Carrie doesn't think about it though, as the ISI will know it was Quinn and would kill him. Since she doesn't want to lose him, she won't fulfill his wish and stay. At that moment, the car with Haqqani drives over the grate, but Quinn doesn't have the heart to pull the trigger for the bomb.

Carrie then follows the car with Haqqani greeting everyone through the car's sunroof. She thinks of Aayan's murder and reaches for her gun. Aasar follows her and just in time stops her from shooting. He points out that Dar Adal is also in the car.

Reviews[]

"Consider this: Homeland rarely utilizes point-of-view filmmaking, meant to place us literally inside a character’s head. But it does here. Carrie looks down at her baby. What would it be to be the mother of this child? And then we switch to the infant’s point of view. What would it be to be the child of this mother?" [x]
