Complete story — includes the ending

Carrie awakens in Khan's house with no memory of how she got there. Tasneem tells Khan that the ISI was trying to have Carrie removed from Islamabad and that his intervention foiled their plan. Carrie surmises that her meds were tampered with, but Khan denies being involved. Over live video, Haqqani presents a captured Saul to the U.S. embassy and names the prisoners he wants released, but Saul begs the U.S. to refuse Haqqani's demands. Saul then escapes and is guided by Carrie and Quinn to a nearby CIA refuge. During a meeting between the U.S. embassy and the ISI about the prisoner exchange, Carrie realizes that the Pakistanis must already have Saul's location. Unable to extract Saul, Carrie reluctantly directs him back into the hands of the Taliban, refusing his wish to die rather than be recaptured. Lockhart decides that the U.S. will accept Haqqani's terms for the exchange. That night, Khan informs Carrie that Dennis Boyd is the ISI's mole in the embassy.
