La unidad

With her former team kidnapped and held for ransom by local fighters, Carla flies to Afghanistan to get them out; like all in the West, she is stunned by the Taliban's sudden retaking of Kabul, leaving only hours for the rescue mission.

Marcos finds temporary shelter in a local village; Miriam, Najwa and Massoud remain at their kidnappers' mercy; in Kabul, Afghanistan, Carla refuses to pull out to Pakistan without rescuing her team first.

Marcos' local village is a brittle safe-haven while Carla is forced to seek help from an unexpected source to rescue her team. Afghan women like Massoud's wife Fazela are again degraded to near stone-age status.

Miriam and Marcos make it to the home of one of Massoud's contacts. Massoud is able to call Fazela, who makes it through to the Spanish to tell them their whereabouts. Carla resorts to a ruse to get to them.

With Aman's help, Marcos takes a leap of faith when the next chance for an escape arises. As the rescue operation for Carla's team begins, Fazela heads for the airport to flee with the Spanish forces, but disaster strikes again.
