After writing about days 1-7, I know that the formula will have me frustrated. There is still so much time left. Most of this episode deals with the brother's death and what is done as a result of that. The business in the swamp with the two criminals and Dana is fun but goes nowhere. What we have a new boring thing that will go on forever. Hassan's daughter and the security guard. Get rid of them. Right now, other than making Hassan more angry, they are adding nothing to the plot.
