He was supposed to fly the terrorist leader out of the country, but with him dead, the OSP team had another chance to catch the leader escaping.
Next, they tracked down Mo and encouraged him to turn on the leader in exchange for leniency.
The team also investigated the dead airport worker’s supervisor and found she was also involved in the breakdown of security. The final conspirator?
The MPs tasked with capturing the terrorist leader.
