Tonight on Showtime their Emmy Award winning drama series, Homeland returns with an all new Sunday December 14, season 4 episode 11 called, “Krieg Nicht Lieb” and we have your weekly recap below for you. Tonight, Carrie [Claire Danes] puts her life on the line to get her team out of Pakistan. Of course Quinn [Rupert Friend] started the drama when he refused to leave Pakistan as ordered deciding instead to kidnap an associate of Haqqani. Quinn wants to kill Haqqani and retrieve the stolen list of CIA operatives before they can be killed, or worse – now Carrie is in the mix as well – she has five days to accomplish her mission.
On the last episode, the consequences following the security breach at the Embassy are far-reaching. Did you watch the last episode? If you missed it, we have a full and detailed recap right here for you. On tonight’s episode as per the Showtime synopsis, “Carrie’s team is in trouble in Pakistan, she’ll put her life on the line to get them out.”
Tonight’s episode is going to be another action packed one, which you won’t want to miss. So be sure to tune in for our live coverage of Showtimes’ Homeland Season 4 episode 11— tonight at 10PM EST. Do you think Saul Berenson [Mandy Patinkin] will have the opportunity to redeem himself (to himself, of course, since nobody else holds him to blame for being kidnapped by evil Haqqani in conjunction with the corrupt ISI) in the penultimate season 4 episode.

A large banner of Haqqani hangs as Aasar and Carrie talk. He tells her he doesn’t want the people who attacked the Embassy running Pakistan but can’t do anything about it. He tells her to get on the plane and go and she says she can’t go without Quinn. He says his superiors have issued a kill order on Quinn because they know he’s an assassin. He asks if Quinn is going after Haqqani and she says she doesn’t know then says yes. He tells her to call him off and she says she can’t because he’s out on his own.
She says if he can help her find Quinn, she will get him on a transport out of Pakistan. She says she just wants to get Quinn home and asks Aasar to trust her. Next day, she’s in a car and pulls up to the Embassy gates. She gets impatient waiting on them to check the car and steps out and goes in on foot. We see buses of American personnel being loaded along with their luggage. They’re shutting down the Embassy. Carrie goes through security then heads upstairs.
She finds staffers packing everything up in the ops center. Max asks where she’s been and says he had to cover for her. Chase and Barbara are still there too. He has papers for her to sign. He says he’s almost got everything up and running. Chase says he thought they were shutting down and she says soon. She says they have things to do to shut down – it’s called the Failure Protocol. She says all she cares about is getting them all home safely including Quinn.
She says Quinn is out looking for Haqqani to try and right this wrong. She says they need to bring him in but Max asks what if Quinn can do it. She tells him that’s not their goal – they just want him back. We see Quinn on the street. He wraps rags around his hands so he can scale a security fence. He goes over it and then enters a house. He shuts the door softly. He puts his hand over a woman’s mouth and wakes her.
She tells him everyone is looking for him – ISI and the Americans – and his name is on the watch list. She says they’re shutting down the Embassy. She asks if he’s going home and he says no. He says he can’t let it go that they put a Taliban flag up at the Embassy. He asks her to help him run down the cell phone numbers and she says she can have a tech guy at her Embassy run them down. He tells her to hurry. She tells him to take a shower and that there are still some of his clothes in the drawer.
Max goes into an office and unlocks the safe. He pulls out cash and puts it in a bag. Carrie comes in then and asks what he has. She asks what he has – he says nothing – but she demands to see. She sees the cash and says she knows it isn’t for him since it’s Pakistani. She also finds a passport for Quinn and asks where he is. He says he doesn’t know. He says Fara was a financial analyst and Carrie brought her to this f-ing place. She asks what he wants her to do and he says to bring her back.
She says she can’t and he says – then get Haqqani. She says she can’t. He says she’s just not willing but she says she can’t lose anyone else. She says to tell her where Quinn is unless he wants him dead too. Quinn finishes his shower at his ex’s place and hears a pounding on the door. She’s still lurking outside the door as his ex arrives. She says she knew Quinn but hasn’t heard from him in months. She asks her to give him a message if she sees him.
Carrie says he’s missing and asks to leave her contact information. The woman say there’s no point but then relents and tells her to write it down. She lets her in the apartment. Carrie sees water on the floor from where Quinn was lurking and Carrie writes something down. The woman tells Carrie she won’t see Quinn and if Carrie does, to tell him to f- himself and says he’ll know why. Carrie leaves. The woman tells Quinn the numbers he gave were already dead.
She says they ran the whole series of numbers and then he sees on the last page where Haqqani is hiding. She says it’s a secure apartment and he’ll never get in. He says he needs her car. She hands over her keys. He leaves and finds Carrie leaning on her car. She tells him there’s a kill order out on him and says he’s on a suicide mission. She sees the look on his face and asks if he knows where Haqqani is. She says he can’t do it and he says it’s not up to her.
He tells her he has never been so convinced of what he needs to do right now. He says if she’s lost her nerve that’s fine, but she needs to get out of his way. She says they lost. Some men come in then to take Quinn away with her. He attacks one of the men and shoots one in the leg. He disarms them both and tells Carrie that for once in her life she needs to listen. He walks out of the garage. Carrie and the other guy bring the wounded one to get his leg treated.
She walks out into the hall and sees Max. She says she found and lost Quinn again. Max says her sister keeps calling and says she has to talk to her. Max tells her she really needs to call her. Quinn spies on the building that he believes Haqqani is in. He makes notes on the print out his ex gave him and then watches again through a zoom lens. He checks out all the men in traditional garb walking around. Then he goes down into the street and clicks some photos with his phone while not appearing to do so.
Carrie video calls her sister. She tells her that their dad died last night. She says he went to sleep and never woke up. She says they told her it was a massive stroke. She tells her that he said prayers with the girls last night and says it was like he knew something was coming. Carrie says she needs a minute. Her sister says there’s nothing she could have done even if she was there and not worry about that. Carrie is stunned and trying to keep control. Carrie asks if she can call her back and ends the call.
Carrie comes back into the ops room and Max asks if she called her sister. She says yes and he tells her he’s sorry about her dad. She asks Max if the German woman that Quinn was with… then she has to stop because she’s crying. Max goes to her and holds her while she cries. Quinn is working on something with a soldering iron when his ex comes in and says Carrie called and sounded upset. He says she’s just upset she didn’t get her way but she says she doesn’t think that’s what it is.
She looks at what Quinn is assembling and says it’s pretty big. He says it has to be. She asks how he’ll get it to Haqqani and he says he doesn’t. He says Haqqani will come to it. Carrie calls her sister back to talk some more. She says she thought their dad would live forever. Carrie asks how she is and she says she’s barely hanging in. Carrie asks for a favor. She asks if she can see Franny. She goes to get Carrie’s daughter. Maggie comes in with the baby and puts her in front of the screen.
Carrie is surprised at how big she’s gotten. She cries when she sees her. Later, Lockhart calls Carrie and tells her he’s sorry about her father. She thanks him. He asks if there’s anything he can do but she says the memorial service is in 10 days and says her sister is handling it all. He asks about Quinn and she says he shot one of their PMCs but it was just in the leg. She says the guy will be fine. Lockhart asks if there’s something going on he should know about.
She says not that she knows of and asks why. He says they’re shopping for his replacement as CIA chief and says there have been a bunch of security meetings that he wasn’t invited to. She says she hasn’t heard anything but agrees to let him know if she does. She asks him to tell her if he hears anything on Quinn and he agrees as well. They end the call.
At the hospital, Kiran finds an envelope of photos that was left for her. They are of Aayan’s murder and there’s a stickie note asking her to come to room 37. She asks the nurse if she saw who left the envelope but she says no. Kiran goes down the hall to the room and finds Quinn waiting for her. He tells her she doesn’t need to be afraid and asks her to close the door. He asks if she knows Haqqani and she says it’s his uncle. She asks if he wants her to believe his uncle killed him and he says it’s true.
He tells her it’s one frame from a video and says she can see the whole thing if she wants and holds to a flash drive. She sobs then asks who he is. He tells her Haqqani killed a lot of his friends too. She asks why he’s showing this to her and he says Haqqani is still in Islamabad and needs to pay for this. He asks for her help. She comes in the room and closes the door. Carrie shows up to the German’s place and asks to talk to her.
She asks the woman if she’s told her Embassy about her involvement in an off-book assassination plot. She lets Carrie into her apartment and they sit down to chat. Carrie tells her this is suicide for Quinn and the woman says he doesn’t see it that way. She asks the woman if she and her VW are all Quinn has backing her up. Carrie says a month ago Quinn wanted out and the woman says he also said that six months ago, a year ago then back in 2008. She says he’ll never get out.
She says sometimes he decides to retire then goes back to it because it’s what he’s good at it. Carrie asks the woman how he’s going to do it and she says she doesn’t know. There’s a knock at the door and Carrie says it’s for her then goes to answer. Carrie had her car searched and accuses her of helping Quinn build a bomb. She asks where Quinn is and the woman says she doesn’t know. She tells Carrie thought Quinn thought she’d have more faith in him than this. She tells Carrie to leave.
Quinn works on his bomb some more. He puts on some rubber gloves and cuts into the C4 packets. He begins rolling and molding the explosive into a long thin shape. He tapes it up in thin brown paper carefully. He puts a wire into one end of it gently then loads the long thin roll into a metal cylinder. He looks at a photo of Aayan’s face as he works. He gets it all loaded in then sets the photo of Aayan on it and tapes it to the photo. Looks like he’s made a sign bomb with Haqqani’s nephew’s photo on it.
Quinn takes it and leaves. Max calls Carrie and tells her that the drone footage of Haqqani killing Aayan has been leaked on the internet. They read her the translation saying Haqqani is killing innocent Pakistanis. They tell her it was sent from the medical school where Aayan went to school. She says it’s Quinn. They tell her there’s a call for a protest at a certain address where Haqqani is supposed to be. Sure enough there’s a large student protest screaming Aayan’s name.
Tasreem meets with Aasar and the others on how to deal with this. They agree they have to secure the area before moving Haqqani but can’t let it look like a government crack down. The meeting breaks up and Tasreem asks about Aasar. She says she’s going to hold him personally responsible if anything happens to Haqqani. He tells her he’s not taking any chances and says he has a bunch of men down there in uniform and in plain clothes.
Quinn is part of the protest waving his bomb sign around. He marches down the street with the other protestors. Carrie is trying to get there but they are stuck in traffic four blocks away. She puts on her head scarf and gets out of the car to proceed on foot. She grabs a frock from a vendor to cover up her Western clothes then goes on. Quinn is being jostled by the crowd and goes down he shoves the bomb pole down into a grate outside the place Haqqani is staying at.
He walks by and tells Kiran it’s time to go. Quinn walks back through the crowd. The protest turns ugly as people start throwing fruit at the police and they start using anti-riot tactics on the crowd. Some of the protestors start to run off. Some Haqqani supporters walk down the other street and approach the crowd – the government hired them as counter-protestors. Carrie sees Aasar up on a jeep overseeing the action of his forces.
Quinn climbs up a building and onto a roof. We see many people stepping on the grid where Quinn stashed the bomb. From his observation point, Quinn pulls things out of his bag and prepares to detonate. Carrie has a sign and is in the protest crowd looking around for Quinn. He watches through his scope and sees them getting ready to move Haqqani to a safer place. Carrie is very close to the bomb site. Haqqani is loaded into a vehicle to leave.
The gate opens and armed men move closer to block the protestors from the vehicles coming out. Carrie’s head scarf falls off and Quinn realizes she’s standing almost on top of his bomb. He calls her and tells her to get the f- out of there. She says if the bomb goes off, they’ll know it’s him. She tells him there are hundreds of soldiers and he’s completely surrounded. She tells him she can’t lose him and he tells her she has no right. He’s ready to detonate but she’s standing too close to the bomb.
He lets the vehicle roll off without detonating it. He curses her. Haqqani stands up out of his vehicle and looks around. Carrie watches him. He holds up his hands as people chant his name. Carrie thinks about Aayan’s murder and she pulls her gun. Aasar is there too and heads towards her. She cocks her gun as she moves along with the crowd near his car. His name is chanted over and over. She raises her hand to shoot and Aasar grabs her.
He tells her to look and see who’s in the car with Haqqani. It looks like Dar Adal! WTF? Is Haqqani a CIA asset now?
