Hanna season 3, episode 4 recap
Episode 4 of Hanna season 3 begins with Ethan, who is now subsequently tied up. Horrified, he is helpless as Sandy fakes a suicide note whilst also attempting to blame him for the death of the pregnant lady. But there’s a bit of luck on Ethan’s side as Hanna appears and knocks Sandy out. It’s about time that Sandy was knocked out, she’s becoming far too dangerous.
Marissa vs Gordon. She tells him that she knew Carmichael was obeying his orders. His response? To smack her. He follows it up by telling Marissa he wants her to come and run Utrax with him. He explains that she would have all the power and authority, but if the answer is “no”, then there’s going to be consequences; “Oh and Ethan Williams, he’s dead”.
Ethan, meanwhile, more alive than ever is with Hanna. Gordon visits Carmichael; he wants to know exactly what Marissa had on him to force him into betraying Utrax. Will Carmichael tell him? Hanna and Marissa come to the abandoned American Embassy, with Brianna preparing a cleaning team to be on standby. Unable to storm the Embassy, Hanna and Marissa are at a loose end. They decide to get a coffee, which whilst paying Hanna feels a rumble below. She comes to the realization that there must be a tunnel underneath. Clever work!
Hanna and Marissa shoot their way into the Embassy. They soon find Max and the servers. He explains that the servers keep track of everyone across the world. And it’s how they use data to form a picture of who a person may be becoming. Max also tells them that it can’t be destroyed as its code and it will always be rewritten. Meanwhile, back at the apartment, Sandy breaks free and strangles Ethan to death.
The ending
Sandy quickly leaves and makes a security alert to Teri. Teri hesitates as to whether to log the breach-in, but her co-worker beats her to it. As Hanna shoots out the servers, she shoots Max before he can reach for his gun. No double-crossing Hanna. Gordon learns that Hanna and Marissa are in the building whilst Carmichael tries to flee after learning about his pending execution. As Carmichael escapes, he comes face-to-face with Marissa. Yet, as she has more pressing matters at hand, Marissa chooses not to kill him.
Marissa heads for Gordon. He’s gone! But not for long. After she tracks him down, he escapes before she can kill him. But not before Hanna learns that he is Marissa’s father. In the commotion that follows, Hanna gets shot. But not one to completely give up, Hanna allows Marissa to make an exit. Episode 4 concludes with Hanna getting captured by Brianna.
