A quick recap of The Last Frontier Episode 4

Frank and Sidney's search for Havlock was halted in The Last Frontier Episode 4, after two other convicts killed a female state trooper in Fairbanks. While Frank and Sidney chased after Kitty and Viv, Havlock used the opportunity to connect with the Russian spy Armen.

Armen is the original criminal who uploaded Archive 6 on a hard disk and has now sent a courier to hand it over to Havlock in Fairbanks. While Havlock and Armen discussed the details for this exchange, Frank managed to get intel on the courier. It remains to be seen who will reach Archive 6 first, Havlock or Frank.
