Laila to the CIA. Rand and Rocchia arrest wanted terrorist Nabil Suleiman and threaten to deport him directly into the custody of Mossad unless he becomes a witness in the case; Nabil complies and identifies Laila and Kamal based on the French photos. Meanwhile, Rocchia, upset with the NYPD being lied to while the FBI is told the truth, takes his daughter out of the city to safety. As the Israeli crisis intensifies, the President briefs the U.S. military's Rapid Deployment Force with options to invade the West Bank, but his advisors manage to reassure him that Israel is a crucial ally. At the same time, a major deadline passes, but the bomb does not detonate.

Kamal, having reached New York City, tells Laila to flee to Montreal and steals an ambulance to reach the bomb. Rand and Rocchia locate the stolen ambulance and pursue it to the bomb's location.

Rand enters under the belief Rocchia is dead, but Rocchia is unable to warn him without revealing his cover, and Rand is shot and killed by Kamal; the encounter allows Rocchia to kill Kamal, avenging Rand. NEST locates the bomb and uses ultraviolet radiation to burn out its microprocessor, defusing the bomb, saving New York City, and preventing the SLBM launches. Meanwhile, Laila, driving to the U.S.–Canada border, is located and pursued by police. As she speeds
