Plot summary

An investigation into sex trafficking is stymied by the lack of cooperation from the president of Kyrgyzstan. Elizabeth convinces him to help with the investigation by getting a young actress that he admires to travel to Kyrgyzstan for his birthday party. The investigation is able to rescue emprisoned women in several countries, but they discover a large group of women in an abandoned truck in Kyrgyzstan in which all of the women had suffocated, including an American missionary who had been kidnapped the year before. Ian calls Henry from a mall, saying that he had been sent on a supply run, but when Henry gets there, he discovers that the militia had placed the bomb in the back of the truck Ian was driving. Henry drives the truck to an empty field where the bomb explodes without injuring anyone. The FBI raid the militia compound, but the senior leadership is not on site at the time.
