6. Two Minutes

Complete story — includes the ending

The Taliban fighter who captured Max holds him prisoner and sells off the contents of his backpack, including the flight recorder. Carrie asks Yevgeny to use his Taliban contacts to help locate Max, and she discreetly disables the CIA's electronic surveillance of the region for two minutes to allow him to do so. President G'ulom threatens to execute 300 Taliban prisoners if Haqqani does not surrender, and he manipulates the inexperienced Hayes, now President, into agreeing with his strongman tactics. Haqqani decides to surrender to the U.S. in hopes of obtaining a fair trial and shows up at the embassy. Mike informs Saul that the recording of Carrie's earlier conversation with Yevgeny proves she lied about the nature of her relationship with him, and he is concerned that she may have unwittingly helped Yevgeny assassinate President Warner. Saul confronts Carrie and says he is sending her back to Germany to continue her treatment, but Carrie slips away before boarding her plane and is picked up on the tarmac by Yevgeny.
