Adam is constantly dealing with the target on him, and he must do anything and go to any lengths to protect his family. Therefore he comes up with a plan to retrieve some files that could reveal the truth about the secret agent who killed Kara’s team.

Just as Adam and Kara try to retrieve the files, Maddy arrives on the scene. The group is immediately ambushed by the CIA special unit led by Dee.

In a full commotion, Dee shoots, and the bullet hits Adam, and he dies with his name still tainted with a bad allegation. After his death, Maddy and Kara decide to work together in order to clear Adam’s name. Maddy goes to the committee meeting and confronts Angelis, and he says that Adam was a double agent.
