Carrie watches as Franklin arrives at the hotel. The team is surrounding the area and they are told not to move until Franklin leaves. Franklin makes a call to a man in one of the hotel rooms. The man tells Franklin the room number. Franklin takes a silencer out of his car and prepares to enter the room.
