Meanwhile, Coltrane attempts to extract intelligence from Edon's driver Jovan - whom he's convinced he's met before.
After catching wind of a feud brewing between Edon and his son Loric, S20 launches a raid on their family business in hopes of extracting the location of the bioweapon from Loric, whose self-serving cooperation leads them to an exchange between Edon and jihadist brothers Zayef and Mahir.
