The Black Widow
Gabriel goes to Jordan to meet with Farid to discuss Jalal Nasser with him. Farid gives him expensive gifts (a toy car and a pearl necklace) for his twins that had been born shortly before. After talking about Jalal and his potential role in the attacks on the Weinberg-center in Paris, the conversation centers around Saladin and his origins. At the end of the meeting, Gabriel invites Farid to join the operation that he had planned to carry out together with the Americans and the French. Farid agrees to it under the condition that he does not wish to be pushed around which Gabriel assures him won't happen.
