Complete story — includes the ending

While Elizabeth is in Libya to attempt to stop a reignited civil war, a vehicle in her motorcade hits a young girl who ran into the road. The child's brain swelling is more severe than the local hospital can treat. Elizabeth begs the members of the two sides to grant a one-hour ceasefire, long enough for a helicopter to transport the girl to a nearby U.S. Navy medical ship. The surgeon on the ship is able to reduce the brain swelling. The Libyan opponents, moved by the situation, agree to work toward a peace agreement. Dmitri snaps at his two co-workers, then confesses his opiate addiction to Henry.
