Muhammed decides to talk. At first Linden and Holder believe he is talking about Rosie. They learn he and Ahmed were helping a girl escape female circumcision and an arranged marriage. He takes them to her location.

After his wife's distress about Ahmed remaining free, Stan Larsen and his friend Belko Royce capture Ahmed. They beat him senseless.
