Tyrant

It’s a new dawn in Abuddin, and Jamal’s fate - along with that of the Al-Fayeed family - remains uncertain. Recognizing the situation is ripe for turmoil, Barry encourages Rami to stay and oversee the transition. Leila cooperates with the Arab League, hoping to secure a position for herself and Ahmed in the new world order.

But that's not how things work around here.

I don't know who.

And Colonel Al-Ghazi says we may be able to help one another.

Sammy, we survived... a war together.

You're, um... you're packing?

As a thank you.

Why aren't you as happy to see my face

It's over.

You were right, Bassam.

Barry, it's not just you anymore.

this was earlier tonight:

To secure military support, Barry takes advantage of a sandstorm to overrun the Caliphate’s military base. As the political tide shifts, Leila re-examines her loyalties and makes a bold play in the palace. Molly uses all the resources at her disposal to try and save Barry’s life.

This... would protect you

I'm trying to save my husband.

No one is coming.

If Barry has an army behind him, then...

This man, Khalil, I need to see him.

We have news, Jamal.

Rami didn't kill your mother.

I have to make it mean something.

Until then,

Despite having depleted forces, Barry prepares to lead a crucial mission. Fueled by his delusions, Jamal takes extreme action that has far-reaching ramifications. When tragedy strikes close to the palace, Leila realizes the severity of their situation and doubts Jamal’s ability to see them through the storm.

So you've...

How is he?

I'm looking forward to seeing you.

Why don't you find someone without baggage?

Your meeting at the base.

Leave a message.

There is a bomb on the road.

Uncle, if you want me to...

It will help to be with other people, with family.

But why did she have to bring Rami

I saw you together.

I wanted you,

You're okay with destroying everything around you.

You treated me like one of your puppets.

Have you ever done this before? Gone into battle?

I won't be a burden.

- I'm fine. - Yeah?

Well, he won't be very happy when he wakes up.

Everything is understood between us.

I don't actually know the truth about what happened today.

would you support my son and I?

What if I were to remove my husband from the equation?

Please, just let me see her again.

I don't know who.

What's going on?

Increasingly suspicious of those close to him, Jamal believes Khalil is the only person he can trust. Deciding he should no longer hide the truth, Barry reveals to Molly that he’s alive. Hoping to lift Nusrat’s depression, Ahmed asks Nusrat to run away with him. Skeptical of Khalil’s tactical luck, Ihab zeroes in on a traitor in the Caliphate.

That son of yours is a professional.

I don't have to have anything.

That is... that is the ultimate good luck.

and you would all be at a huge dinner in his honor.

- Why didn't you wake me? - No, it's fine. I'm fine.

You're not family.

Please don't.

I work at the pleasure of President Al Fayeed.

I'll be honest with you.

I-I wasn't sure you heard.

I'd love to get on the phone with your head of military

I think you want to go to war or you don't.

and didn't have the decency to let me know.

I was in the ocean.

This is General Rami Said.

Brother, I...

The Caliphate, we will decimate!

And, please,

Is she prettier than me?

Not yet.

This is Sam I Am. Leave a message...

No, Mr. President.

Suffering heavy losses, Barry wrestles with the notion that he needs the palace’s support to survive. As paranoia builds within Jamal, he questions where Rami’s loyalty lies. Stricken by Abdul’s death, Sammy plans to give his money to insurgents fighting the Army of the Caliphate.

They killed Abdul.

I don't know what to do.

Take me.

You are the president of Abuddin, commander in chief.

We can't make a plan to retake the city

You are the only good news I've had in a long time.

General, you are currently targeting

And you know this how?

Like what?

Fine. I'll tell him.

I keep thinking what I could've done differently.

You're like a daughter to me.

And it's our job

Anything you want, anywhere you want.

Kasim's already told you what he knows.

Maybe you'd be able to get something out of him.

He won't be able to give you that.

But that woman who died...

I had to get into my brother's computer.

It's okay.

He is punishing me.

Or is it because of me?

Maybe.

But he's come all this way

But he couldn't do it.

Jim, it's not like he stole the keys to my car.

Sammy will call, we'll send him the money,

Jamal believes that the country is spiraling out of control and wants to see a military victory.

- You think so? - Yeah.

No more begging off, making excuses?

Then you go. You leave, Sammy, and don't come back again.

I don't know what the rules are anymore.

I made you laugh.

Ooh.

I lost a lover.

Ghani...

No one.

It's a long story.

What are you doing here by yourself, anyway?

We're not meant to be enemies.

I won't be a hostage.

Right now all they see is that we have lost control

I haven't kissed anyone else in almost 20 years.

You didn't walk in here with a pen.

Yes, sort of.

Thank you.

That's how he got fat.

Uh, he had a hard time

We both want the same country.

Barry decides to stay in Abuddin and make a stand against the Caliphate. Jamal pushes the Chinese diplomat for military support. Sammy discovers that Abdul has been kidnapped by the Caliphate.

That Khalil who kidnapped Faisel's wife,

You heard him. Let's go. Let's move.

Abu Omar is simply reeducating her

Please, just...

I thought this wasn't my fight.

How can I return to Ghani without his mother?

These actions were not simply alleged.

You see him for the traitor he was?

James, what the hell was that in there?

Sins of the father can't be blamed on his children.

What?

I see you're getting ready to leave.

My husband will only trust you.

Mrs. Al Fayeed, there is no point to this.

Well, what's being done?

Who are you?

Where is everybody else?

Molly and Sammy go to Abbudin to address the dispute over his inheritance; Jamal and Tariq's feud over military strategy reaches the point of no return; Barry is afraid his cover will be blown and that those who helped him could be in danger when the Army of the Caliphate arrives.

Barry attempts to adjust to his new identity. A highly decorated war hero is introduced to Jamal.

So you've been lying to me all these years?

Is that why you want to go back to Abuddin so bad?

Anyway, it's blood money.

What do you mean? Of course she is.

He's a good kid.

I'll watch over Ghani while you're gone.

I've been thinking, Rami,

I'm your father.

That's why I left.

Hmm.

then I will go with him.

he can pretty much do whatever he wants.

He's already lost one parent.

and we wouldn't have noticed.

Barry ends up being taken in by a Bedouin family. Jamal is upset over Tariq's drastic military action.

It's the military.

Barry is in the desert looking for salvation. Jamal attempts to deal with the loss of his brother.

Relax.
