Chris is able to get the ship to Dakar, Senegal with the help of the coast guard and tries to reason with Senegalese officials to allow his cargo to continue on to Italy. He is informed that only after a customs inspection would they be able to move the cargo. Chris tries to get his anti-spasm drugs from a local pharmacy but is unable to purchase them because he needs a prescription. A street urchin takes him to a local crime lord from who Chris buys an alternative in the form of a mysterious green liquid, along with some weed.

Chris is reunited with Emma, and she apologizes for putting him in this situation. Emma is determined to get the cargo to Casablanca. She hires a local fixer, Omar, to assist. They bribe the port official, but he tells them that only after the approval of the higher-ranking customs official would the cargo be allowed to move out of the port. The customs official understands that the cargo contains something valuable and requires Emma to give up her ship to rescue her cargo. Senegalese police come to inspect the cargo; however, Omar is alert and asks for a warrant, delaying the inspection until the following day. In the middle of the night, Chris frantically wakes up Emma and tells her that police are coming to arrest them.

Chris and Emma's convoy is traveling through the Sahara Desert, and Chris admits to Emma that his spasms started a few months ago. The convoy soon approaches a town controlled by Jihadists. Omar speaks to one of the men and finds out that his contact was killed only the day before. The men demand 100 kg of cocaine in exchange for safe passage. Omar tells Emma that they have no other option, and they agree to their terms. The convoy carries on, now escorted by the armed Jihadists. They spend the night in the desert and the leader of the Jihadists has one of his men offer blankets to Emma and Chris. Later in the night, Emma looks on as the Jihadists purchase weapons, and Omar briefly explains the conflict between the French nationals and the Tuaregs to her.

When they arrive at one of the Jihadists' strongholds the following day, Chris is taken forcefully by a group of men. Emma panics, as they do not explain where they are taking him, and she too is taken and placed in a makeshift prison, where she is given food by female caretakers. The next day, she finds the prison door is left open and she creeps out the way she was taken in. She snoops around the house and sees a group of the Jihadists watching a newscast and celebrating an attack on French nationals. Scared, she quickly makes her way back to her cell and continues to wait in agony. She witnesses a commotion outside, and, soon after, Omar and a few other armed men appear outside her cell. Omar tells her that there has been a drone strike by the French nationals on the Jihadists who took Chris, which is what the previous commotion that Emma witnessed was regarding. Omar tells her that everyone is dead, including the Jihadist leader and Chris. Emma is distraught and refuses to believe the news. Omar must drag her out of the cell and he makes her aware of the direness of the situation, giving her a gun. Emma quickly calms herself and follows his orders. Outside, they are met with gunfire and take cover in a school building. Omar is shot, but his associates continue to return fire; however, they are greatly outnumbered and the Jihadists are quickly closing in. Suddenly, a car zooms onto the scene, halting the shootout, and the presumed dead Chris gets out with his hands up.

A flashback shows what happened to Chris after he was separated from Emma. The leader of the Jihadists, along with his associates, ride out into the desert. Midway, he gives his blessings to his son, who is presumably going on a suicide mission. Chris attempts to make conversation with the leader by asking him about his son, but the man rebukes him. After arriving close to a refugee camp, the leader tells Chris that his wife is inside the camp and that the guards allow only doctors to enter. Chris must pretend that he is a doctor in order for them to gain entry into the camp so that the leader can bless his newborn son. This plays out smoothly, and they begin their return journey. One the way back, Chris confides in the leader about his disease. He laments the fact that, although he can conceive a child, there would be a 50% chance that he would pass on the disease to them and that, even if the child doesn't carry his disease, they would have to watch their father die at a young age.

Back in Mexico, Manuel gains control over some local drug lords and recruits a few hundred teenage boys for his army. His men take control of an abandoned factory and start a military-grade training camp for the new recruits, whom they call "vampires." Along with training, they are also brainwashed. The whole operation is well oiled, and soon Manuel has an army of lethal soldiers who are at his beck and call.

He pays periodic visits to Diego's widowed wife. His guilt continues to weigh on him and he continues to give her cash, which she now accepts congenially. She indirectly expresses her feelings for him by asking to go out with him, presumably for a date.

After the first contingent is trained, they are given a mission. They abduct a bus, line up all the passengers under a flyover, and kill them. They record the shooting and leave one person alive as an eyewitness to tell the media about their brutality. Later, Manuel takes Diego's wife to his church. She is visibly disturbed by the service and leaves midway, telling him that she was expecting a more pleasant type of outing.

Manuel meets with one of the Leyras brothers and gives him the collection from the sale of their drugs. When he reminds them that it's payday, the Leyras brother tells him that securing their drug business is burning a hole in their pockets and that a new consignment of weapons is coming; therefore, they will have to wait for their payment. Manuel is visibly upset but handles the situation calmly. His associate is furious and fears what they will tell their army. Manuel tells them that they're going to celebrate tonight by going out for an expensive restaurant for dinner, "where it all started." They have a good time at the restaurant, which is the same restaurant from the first two episodes, but when they are almost done with their dinner, the Leyras brothers arrive with their family. Manuel asks the waiter to send over three bottles of their most expensive champagne to the Leyras brothers, indirectly humiliating them.

After dropping his men off, Manuel decides to relieve his stress by taking Diego's wife out on a date. They go dancing, becoming more intimate. When Manuel is dropping her off, he receives several calls. She insists that he come in and stay with her until she falls asleep. When he leaves and finally answers his phone, he learns that one of his main men, Indio, has been badly injured. Manuel rushes back to the base.

In a flashback that shows what was happening while Manuel was with Diego's wife, Indio receives a call for the delivery of the weapons. The Leyras' men want Manuel there, but they cannot get hold of him, so they decide to carry out the mission on their own. They return to their base and wake up their army for the task. The weapons are inspected by Leyras' men. However, the tension that was built up between the Leyras' men and Manuel's army spills over from insults, and a gunfight ensues, killing Indio.
