Sleepers

In 2013 the Russian Embassy is sacked by militants in Libya; at CIA headquarters, Mr. Bradfield instructs his colleague to go to Moscow and wake up a group of sleepers.

A human rights activist is assumed dead after a car explosion following claims of corruption; a blogger captured the explosion on video and looks to sell the footage to news outlets; Bradfield discovers a link between the recent tragedies.

Ivan Zhyravlev meets Konstantin Mishin, who restores the video of Asmolov's kidnapping and looks to publish it online; the video causes a storm on social media.

Andrey realizes that the gas contract of Energy Corporation with China is the target of the multiway operation in which the Foreign Ministry -- and possibly other spies at the highest level -- is involved.

Andrey finds information on the sleepers and reveals the ties between the agents: each is connected with the departed Ruzheinikov who taught at MGIMO; Andrey asks Nefedov for permission to detain the suspects.
