Complete story — includes the ending

Philip, Elizabeth, and Reuben abduct two men who were planning to stage attacks and blame them on the anti-Apartheid movement. One is Todd, an undergraduate feigning interest in the anti-apartheid movement, and the other is Eugene Venter, a South African intelligence officer. Reuben violently executes Venter, but Todd is spared when he gives them the location of a bomb he was unable to detonate. OPR Investigator Walter Taffet begins questioning Gaad's staff, including Martha, who realizes that "Clark" (Philip) does not work for the OPR as he claimed. Elizabeth asks Gabriel's help in getting Philip's son off the front lines in Afghanistan. Nina is given a reduced sentence, with the possibility of a full pardon if she can get Russian physicist Anton Baklonov to increase his productivity. She also meets Vasil, the former Rezident, who has yet to forgive her.
