After Sab’s capture, Group 45 brings in two new special forces operatives and Pierre, an agent from the DGSE. Negotiations with Zaïd are making progress when an attack on the French consulate by one of his lieutenants triggers an operation by the 45.
Zaïd disappears from the radar while Moktar grows increasingly suspicious. Meanwhile, the 45 bypass the DGSE and recruit Soraya as a source, in search of any trace of Sab.
