->'''Tony:''' You think you're the good guy, I'm the bad guy. Maybe you're right. But maybe, if I was born in a nice city in America, like Cincinnati, I could be the good guy too. Geography is destiny, my friend. The world is the kiln, we are the clay.\\
'''Jack Ryan:''' [[ShutUpHannibal Wow, let me write that down]].


Jack's moral code is tested when he and Greer use a Turkish criminal to help them track down a high-value target who may be able to lead them to Suleiman. Hanin tries to evade her pursuers and keep her daughters safe. Cathy investigates an outbreak of a virulent form of Ebola that may point to something more ominous.

!!Tropes:

* ActionPrologue: The beginning shows Sulemain and Ali taking a body from a grave in Liberia. Dialogue between Cathy and her colleague reveals that this body was infected with a vaccine-resistant strain of Ebola.
* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: Ebola virus only stays viable in the body for about a week, so the body harvested by Sulemain would be of very little use. The bodies in Liberia were also burned.
* AssholeVictim: Yazid, who tried to rape Hanin previously, gets a TapOnTheHead and dumped in a pool of sewage, and is later killed by Greer.
* ContinuityNod: Ebola has featured in Jack Ryan books, such as ''Literature/ExecutiveOrders'' and ''Literature/RainbowSix''.
* MexicanStandoff: Jack, Greer and Yazid get into one over Hanin, Sara and Rama while Tony negotiates. They work out that the CIA will take Hanin while Yazid takes her daughters, although Jack protests that [[MamaBear Hanin won't help them if they let her daughters get taken]]. Greer agrees to the compromise, but then [[JustShootHim shoots Yazid as soon as Hanin is clear]].
* MyGreatestFailure: Greer reveals to Jack the mistake that resulted in his being demoted. He was trying to bring in an asset from Pakistan, but the man changed his mind mid-conversation and threatened to turn Greer in to the police. Knowing he'd be tortured or killed in a Pakistani prison, Greer stabbed the man.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Jack is deeply uncomfortable using a human trafficker like Tony, while Greer knows that the man has knowledge and contacts that they need.
-->'''Bailey:''' The good guys don't know about people trafficking.
