Inside the warehouse, we meet Ossam playing video games. They don’t have a mic on Amir because it was too risky, so once he walks in and out of sight, they don’t know if they are seeing him for the last time. They head to an abandoned warehouse and Dalton and the team follow. Omar is skeptical but agrees to take him to the boy. He wants to make sure the boy wants to do this. She points him out to Amir.Īmir sits with Omar and tells him that he made a promise to Ossam’s father that he would look out for his children. And it just so happens that the man who recruited Ossam and her father before that is in the bar that night. She called him because her father listened to him and other people listen to him nobody listens to her. But she says she doesn’t believe her brother truly wants this. He asks her why she would call him if her brother wants to be a martyr that’s a good thing. She’s afraid of him she does not know him as Amir. Amir is going back undercover, assuming the identity he created for himself as a fellow radicalized Muslim, and a notorious one as he “assisted” with the successful suicide bombing.Īmir finds the girl Mina working in a hookah bar and corners her in the back. Vincent, that is filled with radicalized Muslims, and even produced those involved in the Charlie Hebdo attacks. This of course tells the team that there is an impending suicide bomber attack, and that Amir is in a unique position to help stop it form happening.Īnd so they are off to Paris, particularly a neighborhood in the slums called St. Now, it turns out, the same terrorist cell has taken her younger brother Ossam to follow in his father’s footsteps. He was “friends” with her father before he became a suicide bomber. She plays it for him, and it is a girl who Amir recognizes as Mina Bayoud.
Somebody put a call in on Amir’s “activation line” which was his cell phone he used while undercover in a terrorist cell of radicalized Muslims.
But then they get the call from Deputy Director Campbell. We find Amir and the rest of their team in their usual haunts, except this time Amir has picked some fresh herbs from their garden and is making breakfast, a traditional Lebanese dish his mother used to make that I will not try to spell or pronounce. The hour mainly focuses on team member Amir Al-Raisani, who before this episode we could cap our list of things we knew about him at “he’s the new guy.” Actor Hadi Tabbal who portrays him gives the series’ finest performance to date. What works about it is that we learn these things about the characters through the action-packed high stakes storyline the episode takes us on.
This week on The Brave we get more of a focus on several of the characters, getting a little insight into what makes them tick.
