Complete story — includes the ending
In flashbacks to three years ago, Abu Nazir is shown to have ended Brody's torture, given him comfortable living quarters, and placed him in charge of teaching English to Nazir's young son Issa. Over time, Brody developed a fatherly love for Issa, until Issa's school was destroyed by an American drone strike that killed Issa and several other children. Vice President Walden claimed that any images of dead children were terrorist propaganda, enraging Brody. In the present, the CIA identify Mansour al-Zahrani as Walker's handler, but Carrie and Saul are limited in their options given al-Zahrani's diplomatic immunity. Brody is kidnapped by Nazir's men and put on a video call with Nazir himself, who reminds Brody of his commitment to al-Qaeda's mission. Al-Zahrani enters and instructs Brody to accept an offer from Vice President Walden to run for public office.
