While the firefight is going on at the front of the compound, Suleiman and his cohort escape over the wall at the back. Shortly after this, the surviving terrorists retreat and we later see them meeting up with the two escapees. Suleiman and his rescuer embrace and there is another flashback to the two brothers seen at the beginning of the episode, whose village was bombed and family killed. It becomes obvious that these are the brothers, all grown up.
When they touch down in Yemen, Greer and Ryan are met by Matice, a CIA operative. He takes them to the compound where the prisoners are being held and questioned. The two men are being questioned in separate cells and Jack Ryan is eventually assigned to interrogating one of them, who insists that he is just a bodyguard who knows nothing. While the interrigations are going on, a group of middle eastern men arrive at the compound with the bodies of dead terrrorists, for which they receive payment from the American soldiers. The bodies are placed in a cool room for later identification. As it turns out, however, one of the "bodies" is not actually dead and, retrieving a gun smuggled inside of one of the actual corpses, he takes a soldier captive and forces him to show him the cells where the two prisoners are being interrogated. While this is going on, the men who previously brought the bodies attack the compound, creating a diversion which draws most of the military staff present into the fray. Greer orders Ryan to stay in the cell with the prisoner he's been questioning and one of the guards, and then goes out with Matice to fight the attacking terrorists. Meanwhile, the terrorist inside the compound locates and shoots the other prisoner to keep him from talking and then enters the cell where Ryan is, shooting the guard. Ryan grabs the man and they struggle violently, Jack getting the worst of it as the terrorist slashes him with a knife. He then gets knocked into the table to which the prisoner is chained, and the man tries to choke him with the chain as the other terrorist seeks to finish him off with the knife. Jack manages to yank himself free and lands on the body of the guard. He pulls a grenade off of the body and, as the terrorist raises a gun, shows him the pin that he's just pulled out of the grenade. Ryan says that, if he is shot, they will all die. The terrorist relents at an order from the prisoner, whom he then unchains. As the two men leave, Jack realizes who it is that he was interrogating and calls his name: Suleiman. The two of them stare at each other, then the terrorists leave and Jack slowly collapses on the floor, though not until replacing the pin in the grenade. While the firefight is going on at the front of the compound, Suleiman and his cohort escape over the wall at the back. Shortly after this, the surviving terrorists retreat and we later see them meeting up with the two escapees. Suleiman and his rescuer embrace and there is another flashback to the two brothers seen at the beginning of the episode, whose village was bombed and family killed. It becomes obvious that these are the brothers, all grown up. As Suleiman and his men make their escape, Jack limps painfully out of the compound and joins Greer in staring after the lights of the terrorists' vehicles as they disappear into the darkness of the desert night.
