TRAMA
Fatah rapisce un giornalista americano per assicurarsi un'intervista e trasmettere al mondo il suo "ar rissalah", il messaggio. C'e' il rischio che stia mettendo in piedi la piu' imponente organizzazione terroristica al mondo. Nel frattempo, il Presidente viene a conoscenza di dettagli che la fanno dubitare di Charleston.
In Cairo, an American and an Arab are drinking in a club when they realize they're being watched. Unnerved, they leave, though the American thinks the Egyptian secret police would never mess with an American. The secret police, no... Grabbed off the street and forced into a van, the two men are hooded and driven off. When the hoods are removed, they find themselves kneeling in a room full of masked militants. Only one of the jihadis is showing his face as he stalks around the two frightened men with a knife in his hand. It's Omar Fatah, coming out from the shadows. At the White House, President Payton is furiously questioning Charlie, Director Navarro and the joint chiefs. The recently leaked report on the Kabul attack concludes that a bullet from Nick Vera's CIA-issued gun killed her son, Aaron. Who is Nick and where is he now? As Navarro scrambles to tell what he knows, Charlie stays mum, flashing back to hours before the attack in Kabul when Nick offered her his gun for protection. Payton clears the room to order Charlie to find Nick just as a call comes in: Fatah has kidnapped an American reporter. Back at CIA headquarters, Charlie pulls Mo aside to ask her to assemble a file on Nick. Of course, Mo has the file ready and waiting, born of longtime fears Nick is going to bring Charlie down. Refusing to disclose any information that might get Maureen in trouble, Charlie relents to revealing the location where Nick was abducted from her car. Meanwhile, video footage of Fatah and his hostages has surfaced. Turns out Fatah did not take the reporter, Thomas Logan, as a hostage. Fatah was granting Logan an interview... Once released, Logan is whisked back to the U.S. for a debrief by the FBI. Charlie can't figure out what Fatah wanted with the reporter, who seems oddly calm after his ordeal. Despite Charlie's direct request in the interest of national security, Logan refuses to postpone airing his Fatah interview within the next 48 hours. Having gathered some puzzle pieces, the team calls Charlie back to headquarters. They've found a stylized drawing of a horse head that's showing up on T-shirts and military badges, and heavy terrorist chatter about a big message. Charlie isolates elements of the drawing to form a phrase: the message. Suddenly it all clicks: Fatah is using the interview to spread "the message," across disparate tribes and sects - a call to arms to his hidden followers around the world - and it's the biggest terrorist network anyone has ever seen. Despite First Amendment difficulties, the president orders DP to prevent the interview from airing, and Charlie is to see that Fatah is reacquired as soon as possible. On the way to meet Syd, Charlie calls Mo, asking her to look into TKG - The Krieg Group. Charlie claims it's just a hunch, but we know TKG bought the photo of Charlie, Nick and Fatah. Charlie hands off a burner phone belonging to the anonymous texter, which was found in a seventh floor burn bag. Syd knows Nick's missing and tries to warn Charlie off the search, reminding that Nick has made some very powerful enemies. She should hope he's already dead. But Charlie can't let it go, especially since POTUS has tasked her to find Nick. She breaks into his apartment, which has been ransacked. Stashed inside a globe, she finds a gun, money and passports, two with Nick's photo - and two with her own! A snapshot of Charlie and Nick sends her flashing back a year, to Kabul. She was about to embark on the fatal trip with Aaron and then-Senator Payton, and Nick was trying to get her to talk the future president out of it. When he realized it wasn't going to happen, he handed Charlie his gun, insisting that she protect herself - and she accepted. Back in the present, Charlie pockets the passports with her photos and leaves, unaware there's a man in the apartment, who's been watching her the whole time. But who? Back at CIA, Charlie notices a discrepancy in the video of Logan's interview with Fatah - it's been edited. Charlie calls the FBI and marches to Logan's office to use an arrest warrant as leverage to coerce him into turning over all the raw footage from the interview. She tries to convince Logan that Fatah is using him and begs for his help. Logan has a surprise of his own. Not only has he figured out that Charlie is Fatah's tracking analyst and there's something in the embargoed Kabul report that's going to make her the big story - he's got a message for her from Fatah: "Pegasus takes wing." Charlie stays composed for as long as it takes her to get out of Logan's sight. Once alone, she nearly breaks down. President Payton gets an unpleasant surprise of her own. As payback to Senator Green for leaking the Senate report on the attack that killed Aaron, she has taken a pipeline project away from Green's state, costing thousands of jobs. Angry, the senator plays her last card: Charlie and Nick's relationship, she tells Payton, is more than professional - whereas Charlie earlier had said she and Nick had worked together, "but I wouldn't call us friends." A president just can't trust anyone. DP meets with the head of Logan's network WNR, Jules Lambert, to ask him to kill the Fatah interview. Lambert refuses, mentioning that he'd like a peek into the sealed report on the Kabul incident. Wasn't DP the one pushing the president to take that trip? He was. Was it the death of Aaron that propelled Constance Payton to the highest office in the land...? Pulling out the stops to try to quash the interview, DP offers a tidbit from the report - the gun that killed Aaron belonged to a CIA agent, whom he's willing to identify. The scoop would be a big get for Jules - and extremely illegal. Five years ago on the black site boat, Charlie and Nick eat a meal with their prisoner, Fatah. The captured terrorist has agreed to work with the CIA as an informant and prepares to be "washed ashore" in Syria. Nick's not convinced. He thinks Fatah will say anything to get off the boat. Charlie disagrees. "He's ours," she tells Nick, before giving Fatah the code name "Pegasus." Ah ha... Charlie returns to the office, where the team has been combing through Logan's raw footage. Logan's cameraman Al, who was kidnapped in front of the Cairo bar with Logan is a jihadist who faked his death years ago to work for Fatah in the shadows. If the team can find him, maybe they can find Fatah. In the Oval Office, DP and the president make final preparations for their trip to Qatar. The president confides what Senator Green told her, that Charlie's relationship with Nick is beyond professional. DP advises her to fire Charlie immediately... While driving, Logan takes a call from his agent. The interview is dead, but the book deal is on. Celebrating his status as "a player," Logan lights a cigarette and instantly starts coughing. In a daze, he veers into an oncoming truck. Later that night, Jules meets DP at a bar to deliver the news: Logan died of a suspicious heart attack. Their deal is off; Jules is running the interview as originally planned. Fatah appeals to the American people, explaining that he is acting on behalf of peace. His demands: release of his imprisoned countrymen, cessation of bomb and drone strikes and all military off his country's soil. If his demands aren't met, his network with strike. Fatah's network is everywhere. And it's true: the group's logo is tattooed on the arm of an emergency room doctor somewhere in the West, drawn on the notebook of a student at an American university... Aboard Air Force One, Charlie briefs the president on the search for Logan's cameraman, now identified as American Aleek Al Moosari. When Payton brings up Nick, Charlie confesses. Nick didn't kill Aaron, but he did give her the gun used to kill Aaron. She lost it during the attack on their convoy in Kabul... President Payton insists they have a job to finish, and they can't finish it without total honesty between them. Is there anything else Charlie needs to tell her? Charlie has no words, but she does have a quick flash of memory: Aaron sits in the road, raising his own gun. So Charlie raises hers and shoots him first. Can she trust a memory that tells her she killed her fiancé? After Charlie leaves, DP slips in. Payton orders him to put "eyes" on Charlie. She wants her former daughter-in-law-to-be under 24-hour surveillance. A president really can't trust anyone.
