Complete story — includes the ending

Quinn holds Carrie in a warehouse and informs her of his orders to kill her; they take photos staging her death. She and Quinn scout the post office where Quinn receives his assignments to confirm whether it was Saul who gave the kill order; Quinn is ambushed by a hitman, who wounds him before being killed in a gunfight. Korzenik, expecting to sell the CIA documents to a Russian diplomat, is instead taken to meet with SVR agent Ivan Krupin, who tortures Korzenik to get the location of additional copies of the documents before killing him. Saul and Allison lure General Youssef of Syria to Switzerland and try to persuade him to take over for president Bashar al-Assad after a planned coup. Youssef boards a plane to return to Syria. Carrie calls the only contact number on the hitman's phone, and Allison answers in Russian; Youssef's plane explodes seconds later.
