As the operation unfolds, Powell discovers that the targets are planning a suicide bombing and the mission quickly escalates from capture to kill. However, just as American pilot Steve Watts (Aaron Paul) is about to engage, a nine-year-old girl enters the kill zone, leading to a tense and heart-wrenching dilemma.
