- While Don Minu's leadership is undermined by betrayals and power struggles, the Lynwoods face the dangers of crossing the Malian desert.
- In Italy, an injured Stefano is being treated by one of the cartel's members for his gunshot wound. The surgeon discovers gunpowder burns on the wounds, which indicate that the bullet was fired from point-blank range, meaning that Stefano probably shot himself. The surgeon alerts his boss to his suspicion. Stefano gets a whiff of the looming danger, calls his wife, and tells her to run with their son immediately and seek the asylum of his grandfather. Chris and Emma's convoy is traveling through the Sahara Desert, and Chris admits to Emma that his spasms started a few months ago. The convoy soon approaches a town controlled by Jihadists. Omar speaks to one of the men and finds out that his contact was killed only the day before. The men demand 100 kg of cocaine in exchange for safe passage. Omar tells Emma that they have no other option, and they agree to their terms. The convoy carries on, now escorted by the armed Jihadists. They spend the night in the desert and the leader of the Jihadists has one of his men offer blankets to Emma and Chris. Later in the night, Emma looks on as the Jihadists purchase weapons, and Omar briefly explains the conflict between the French nationals and the Tuaregs to her. When they arrive at one of the Jihadists' strongholds the following day, Chris is taken forcefully by a group of men. Emma panics, as they do not explain where they are taking him, and she too is taken and placed in a makeshift prison, where she is given food by female caretakers. The next day, she finds the prison door is left open and she creeps out the way she was taken in. She snoops around the house and sees a group of the Jihadists watching a newscast and celebrating an attack on French nationals. Scared, she quickly makes her way back to her cell and continues to wait in agony. She witnesses a commotion outside, and, soon after, Omar and a few other armed men appear outside her cell. Omar tells her that there has been a drone strike by the French nationals on the Jihadists who took Chris, which is what the previous commotion that Emma witnessed was regarding. Omar tells her that everyone is dead, including the Jihadist leader and Chris. Emma is distraught and refuses to believe the news. Omar must drag her out of the cell and he makes her aware of the dire nature of the situation, giving her a gun. Emma quickly calms herself and follows his orders. Outside, they are met with gunfire and take cover in a school building. Omar is shot, but his associates continue to return fire; however, they are greatly outnumbered and the Jihadists are quickly closing in. Suddenly, a car zooms onto the scene, halting the shootout, and the presumed dead Chris gets out with his hands up. A flashback shows what happened to Chris after he was separated from Emma. The leader of the Jihadists, along with his associates, ride out into the desert. Midway, he gives his blessings to his son, who is presumably going on a suicide mission. Chris attempts to make conversation with the leader by asking him about his son, but the man rebukes him. After arriving close to a refugee camp, the leader tells Chris that his wife is inside the camp and that the guards allow only doctors to enter. Chris must pretend that he is a doctor in order for them to gain entry into the camp so that the leader can bless his newborn son. This plays out smoothly, and they begin their return journey. One the way back, Chris confides in the leader about his disease. He laments the fact that, although he can conceive a child, there would be a 50% chance that he would pass on the disease to them and that, even if the child doesn't carry his disease, they would have to watch their father die at a young age. Early in the morning, the convoy stops for their prayers while Chris watches from a distance before becoming engrossed in the happenings of a nearby lizard. Suddenly, the aforementioned drone strikes the praying group of men, killing nearly everyone. A dazed Chris, abandoned by the only other surviving member of the convoy, panics and gets into one of the cars. Just before driving away, he sees that the leader is alive but critically injured. He puts him in the car and speeds back to the stronghold, pulling up on the shootout. The Jihadists immediately direct all of their attention to their injured leader, and a younger guard allows Chris and Emma to leave, along with their cargo. Emma desperately tries to keep a critically wounded Omar alive, but he succumbs to his injuries shortly into the drive.
