Do not read if you have not yet watched “Prisoners of War,” the series finale of ““Homeland” went out on a high note Sunday with a 66-minute final episode that was full of the elements that defined the series.
Gromov also wanted Carrie to serve up the name of Saul’s longtime mole in the Russian government. Season 8 revolved around a complicated effort to bring about a cease fire between the Taliban and other factions in Afghanistan and examined the realpolitik around the prospect of bad actors like the Taliban evolving into more pragmatic political organizations.
Saul explained the truth of the flight-recorder situation to Zabel for the first time and hinted at the clandestine efforts to get Russia to release the evidence. “Don’t be the shmuck who takes us to war for the second time in 20 years under false pretenses,” Saul implored him. Carrie then headed back to Saul’s house. She knew from Benson that a GRU “kill team” was parked nearby, waiting for her flickering porch light signal that they should come in and finish off Saul after Carrie extracted from him the name of his Russian asset.
Saul was dead-set on protecting his asset at all costs, but Carrie was on a personal mission to stop a nuclear conflict from potentially killing millions. The scene shifted to the next morning, with Saul tied up in a chair in his living room while the burly guys watched him. His phone began to buzz and Saul warned the guys that people will soon come looking for him: He was late for his meeting with the reporters and Wellington in a coffee shop in Alexandria, Va.
Dorit made it clear that she knew what Carrie meant to the brother she believes is dead. “You lost him too,” she said. Saul immediately called an agent at the UN in the hopes of whisking Anna to safety. In the video he left for Carrie, he praised Anna for her selfless work. “She’s been spying for the past 20 years on the very heart of Moscow. Risking everything every day,” he said.
“Saul loved me. He trusted me. … That’s gone now. That’s lost. Do you even know what that means?” she cried. “I don’t know what it’s like on your side but it must be very, very lonely.” Saul stared at Carrie’s piercing eyes for a few moments before opening the book. The dedication read: “For my daughter in the hope that one day she will understand.”
Cut to Carrie back in the auditorium sitting lovingly next to her prime Russian asset while enjoying the music. A saxophone note soared. Carrie’s head bobbed gently with the beat and a broad smile spread across her face. The screen faded to a flash of white, but the music continued as the credits roll.
