Atomic Episode 4 recap: Mohammed refuses to cooperate with the interrogators

Atomic Episode 4 aired on September 11 and picked up directly from the fallout of Mohammed and Max being detained by the U.S. Army. Mohammed refused to give up details about Alam, but Max revealed that his girlfriend, Laetitia, was being held hostage, forcing the CIA to plan a risky deal. On the plane to Marrakech, Max and Mohammed split up, with Max attempting to trade uranium for Laetitia’s release. Cassandra’s interference drove Mohammed off the course, leading to his capture by Alam’s men.

By the end, Max, Mohammed, and Laetitia narrowly survived execution and set their sights on stopping the nuclear bomb. Mohammed refused to provide details about Alam or the uranium when questioned by the CIA and British forces. Max, however, gave them enough information to reveal that Laetitia was being held hostage and used as leverage.

Mark, one of the CIA officers, decided that instead of eliminating the two men, they should let them continue to Marrakech so the agency could track them and identify Alam’s network. Initially, Mohammed resisted the plant, unwilling to betray his cause, but Cassandra convinced him by revealing that his son Kamal was alive. She assured him that helping them would lead to a reunion. Mohammed finally agreed, though his cooperation was reluctant.

On the plane to Marrakech, Max and Mohammed devised a separate plan. Max would deliver one uranium ingot first, ensuring Laetitia’s safety, while Mohammed would later hand over the second. Their bags had trackers, and the CIA followed them closely. However, Cassandra’s interference disrupted their plan, pushing Mohammed to abandon the path set for him. This act set off a chain of events that shaped the rest of the episode, as Mohammed’s decision altered the control both the CIA and Alam thought they had over the situation.

Atomic Episode 4: Max faces Alam’s demands

Max agreed to deliver a uranium ingot to Alam’s men in exchange for Laetitia’s safety. When he reached Alam’s residence, he was forced to watch as Laetitia was suffocated with a plastic bag to pressure him into full compliance. Max immediately realized he would be required to hand over the second ingot or risk her death. He traveled with one of Alam’s men to locate Mohammed, who was supposed to be waiting with the other ingot. Instead, Mohammed had already strayed from the plan after Cassandra’s intervention, leaving Max vulnerable.

The CIA, tracking both men's movements, grew concerned as their signals split. Max was returned to Alam’s residence when Mohammed was nowhere to be found. There, he was confined with Laetitia and finally confronted with the truth about their relationship. Laetitia revealed she was not actually his current partner but engaged to someone else, something Max had concealed from others.

In Atomic Episode 4, Laetitia grew angry at being dragged into the mission under pretenses. This revelation strained their already fragile situation, but Max’s concern remained focused on surviving Alam’s threats and regaining control of the uranium exchange. The sequence highlighted how Laetitia’s safety remained central to Max’s actions throughout.

Atomic Episode 4: Mohammed falls into Alam’s hands

In Atomic Episode 4, Mohammed was eventually captured by Alam’s men after attempting to evade both the CIA and the cartel. His disappearance came after Cassandra attempted to force him back into the original plan by revealing that he would never see Kamal again if he resisted. Mohammed fled, carrying one of the uranium ingots, but Alam’s network in Marrakech quickly mobilized to find him. After hiding briefly in a prayer hall, Mohammed was tracked and taken prisoner.

In Episode 4, Cassandra tried to pursue him, but her taxi driver was revealed to be working for Alam and delivered her to Ahman, the nuclear scientist constructing the bomb. Mohammed was brought back into Alam’s control, and his possession of uranium ensured Alam’s plans could move forward. Meanwhile, the CIA lost direct influence over him, which marked a turning point, as Mohammed’s leverage shifted into Alam’s hands, leaving Max isolated.

Mohammed’s decision to run rather than stick to Max’s plan created a ripple effect that exposed both him and Cassandra to Alam’s forces. Once in custody, Mohammed’s role changed from being a bargaining chip for the CIA to becoming a direct tool in Alam’s larger nuclear operation, raising the stakes for everyone involved in Marrakech.

Atomic Episode 4: Max, Mohammed, and Laetitia escape execution

In Atomic Episode 4, Max, Mohammed, and Laetitia were taken by Alam’s men to be executed in the desert. All three were restrained and lined up, facing certain death. Just as the executioners prepared their weapons, the guns malfunctioned. This brief pause gave the group the chance they needed to fight back. They managed to overpower Alam’s men and escape immediate death.

Laetitia decided to part ways after their survival, walking away from Max and Mohammed. Max chose not to follow her but instead rejoined Mohammed to pursue the nuclear weapon. Mohammed had obtained a phone from one of Alam’s men, revealing the location of the cargo truck transporting the bomb. This clue allowed him and Max to shift their focus from survival to stopping the weapon before it reached its destination.

Meanwhile, Cassandra and Ahman traveled toward a shipping port in Casablanca with the nuclear bomb. The CIA and British forces also moved in, tracking the situation as it escalated. Alam’s pursuit continued as well, ensuring that the chase was far from over. The desert execution scene closed the episode on a decisive note, as the characters narrowly avoided death while new threats formed around the looming nuclear shipment.
