21. Protocol

Complete story — includes the ending

A terrorist group takes over a dam on the Tigris River in Iraq and threatens to blow it up if Iraq doesn't release thousands of its members from prison. Conrad suggests that Turkey shut off the flow of water on the Tigris upstream, but Turkey's president makes impossible demands in return. When dissident members in Turkey attempt a coup and the president is in hiding, Elizabeth pleads with Turkey's foreign minister to convince the rebels to shut down the dam. The resulting lower water level reveals a previously unknown entrance to the Iraq dam, which Iraq security forces and US Seal members use to take back the dam. The president of Turkey puts down the coup and orders the foreign minister back to Turkey. Fearing that he will be executed if he returns, Elizabeth arranges a mock arrest of him and his family at the airport and offers him political asylum. Russell takes up his childhood hobby of model planes in an attempt to learn how to relax.
