Jack Ryan: S1E3

Upon returning to the apartment, Jack finds a SIM card on the floor which confirms his theory that Suleiman is using a mobile app to replace the money in the account frozen by the CIA. He and Sandrine are surprised after learning that James Greer follows Islam when they see him praying for the woman who blew herself to carry out the blast but of course none of the two says anything.

In Syria, we see a man teaching his son how to pray to Allah. Then he leaves his house with a gun on his shoulder. His activities are being captured by Victor and Ava through a drone. When they get an order, the drone kills that man and Ava gives Victor a dollar for his perfect aim although; Victor doesn't seem very happy and proud.
Back in Paris, Ali is identified by the CIA referring to the prison records which showed that he was the only visitor Suleiman had when he was in prison.
We see Hanin gets passports for herself and her children using her uncle's help so that she can flee from her husband but a man spies her when she hides the passports in the kitchen. Bad move Hanin!

Unable to sleep, Victor decides to blow up all the money he made from each kill he made by the drone attacks. He visits a casino in Vegas, but is unlucky(!!) because he wins much more money. (And also gets laid with a woman whose husband watches them fuc*ing on the sofa and beats Victor later on) I am not sure on the entire scene's purpose but never mind!

Back to Al Mnajeer, Syria, Suleiman burns the passports in front of his family and Hanin and her children watches helplessly. Poor Hanin and her children! Meanwhile, Jack finds a video game in the apartment where an injured Ali had taken refuge. He figures out that Ali was contacting Suleiman using the messaging system built in the game. Hanin manages to escape from Suleiman with two of her daughters while Sandrine tracks the car which Ali has took to flee and the team decides to follow the car. Suleiman sends men to search for her wife and daughters. One of the men tries to help Hanin but is shot dead by another man who then ties Hanin's daughters in the car and tries to rape Hanin.
All this is being monitored by Victor and Ava who are controlling the drone from Creech AFB, Nevada. They ask their supervisors permission to engage. The permission is not given but Victor who is already frustrated and worked up makes a move and kills the man who was trying to rape Hanin. Hanin and her daughters run away and Victor is lucky once again because he doesn't lose his job.

The casting for the series is spot on. The storylines of even the minor characters are developed wonderfully. Every episode brings something new and unexpected. And soon we realize that this is not just a chase between Suleiman and Jack but there are many other people who are playing their parts which gets the story ahead by leaps and bounds!

Thank you for being with me. Do I write simple enough for you to grasp the gist of the story and enjoy it at the same time? Do you have any suggestions or improvements for me? Let me know in the comments so that I can write more and better. Until next time!
