The CIA learns that Saudi diplomat, Mansour Al-Zahrani, is acting as one of the conduits between Abu Nazir and Tom Walker. They also learn of two issues in Al-Zahrani's life which they want to exploit in getting him to talk, primarily about Walker's current location and his mission for Nazir. Against the objections of the state department, the CIA, using those two issues, sets up a sting operation on Al-Zahrani to bring him in, at least for a couple of hours before the Saudi Embassy realizes that he may be missing. To her surprise, David asks Carrie to be the lead interrogator. Beyond the two issues, Carrie realizes that she will have to push the right buttons with Al-Zahrani, as, according to Virgil's assessment, he is the type of man either to sing like a jaybird if even slightly pressured, or die for his country. Meanwhile, Brody receives a visit from the Vice-President who asks him to run for what will soon be a vacant seat in Congress. On the surface, Brody does whatever he can to receive Jess' support so that he can accept the nomination. However, she and the western world are unaware of Brody's ulterior motives.
