In “True Lies” Episode 5, the omega sector super spies were once again on a mission called “Operation Walk in the Park.” Since Helen had now graduated from being an intern to being a permanent member of the spy agency, she was also on the ground with the others. Maria and Luther’s duty was to spot the target; Helen had to listen to the target and translate whatever he was saying over the call, and Harry had to take the target down as soon as he got an opportunity. The target was Konstantin M., who was there to sell some top-secret intel, and that is why he was being extra cautious, as he didn’t want to get caught. Harry ambushed the guy and caught him. Through the files that were procured from the man in the park, Gib got to know that a hacker had breached into the Israeli and Syrian defense systems and, in turn, gained control of approximately 40 missiles. Syria and Israel stood on the brink of war, and Omega Sector had been given the duty to find the hacker, unlock the system, and evade the war at all costs. Gib told everyone that both nations, i.e., Syria and Israel, were accusing each other, and none of the international agencies had any clue as to who had orchestrated the attack.
It was not an easy task to find an anonymous hacker with no probable motive, so every member was given a list of hackers whose names were present in the archives, and they were asked to shortlist the candidate about whom they had the slightest suspicion. Gib searched the dark web and found out that there was a new hacker who had emerged out of nowhere and was talking, with a tinge of pride, about breaking into the military missile defense system. The hacker was codenamed Havok, and the sense of accomplishment that he had about doing the impossible led him to leave his footprint on the dark web, and that’s how his location got revealed. Gib found out that the hacker was in Florida, and the Omega Sector team immediately went there to pay a surprise visit.
Harry And Helen Face Parenting Issues
Dana had called Harry several times while he was catching the runner in the park, and he ultimately picked up when she texted that it was an emergency. Harry couldn’t believe it when Dana said that she had called because she wanted to purchase a ring light for making tik-tok videos. Harry had to cut her call in between as he had to take down the suspect, but he decided to talk to Dana once he reached home.
Dana was angry because making that tik-tok video was very important to her, and obviously, she didn’t understand that her father was on a life-threatening mission, which is why he wasn’t able to pick up the call. Dana told her father that she wanted to be a singer, and Harry was surprised as it was only last year that she wanted to be a marine biologist. Dana told Harry that he was the one who had told her to dream big, and now that she was doing it, he wasn’t being supportive at all. The argument got heated, and Harry confiscated her phone, which obviously she didn’t react well to. Helen proposed to Harry that they should have a points system in place where their kids would get rewards if they earned points by helping with household chores. When Helen told Dana about her points system, the latter got even more frustrated and walked out of the house. Helen stood there helplessly, not knowing how to deal with her teenage daughter.
Who Were The Soldiers Who Attacked Max’s Caravan?
Harry and his team had thought that they would find a dangerous terrorist hiding in the caravan in the middle of a forest, but they were shocked to find out that Havok was just a teenager named Max, who was petrified when he saw them bombarding his gate and pointing weapons at him. Havok called Harry a mindless bully and questioned the legitimacy of Omega Sector, and that’s when Harry decided that he had had enough; he took the phone from the kid just like he had done with his daughter. Seeing Harry lose his temper, Helen came in between them and asked Harry to let her deal with the kid.
Helen told Max that he just needed to give them the missile codes, and she would let him go. Max was extremely condescending and rude in his behavior, and soon Helen also ran out of ways to convince him. Just then, Gib saw that there were armed soldiers heading towards Max’s caravan, and he told the agents to burn everything down as they didn’t have the time to move the trailer, and they surely didn’t want the Israelis or the Syrians getting access to his computer system.
Gib decided that they would have to wait in a makeshift accommodation till the time Trilby made arrangements for them to leave for Omega Sector headquarters. Helen tried talking to Max once again, as she had always believed that she was a bit better at handling kids as compared to her husband. But Max was a devil, and he knew how to get on the nerves of the people. Helen stomped out of his room after she broke his television and told Harry that he was a hopeless case and they wouldn’t be able to get any information from him. Just then, there was a power surge, and Gib informed Harry that it was done from inside the facility. Harry and Helen found out that Max had escaped undetected as the power surge had destroyed every sensor that Luther and Maria had installed in the facility.
To save time, Gib, Luther, and Maria went to find the soldiers who had attacked them earlier, while Helen and Harry went to the next town to find the kid. Max had broken into an auto shop and compromised his own location because he had started using the internet. The soldiers attacked the shop, but Harry and Helen arrived just in time, and all three of them were able to make a near escape. The Omega Sector once again reunited at the rendezvous point and that’s where Gib got to know that the soldiers were neither from Syria nor Israel; they were mercenaries who were hired by a hacker group called Pyramid. The members of the hacker group were Max’s friends, and he couldn’t believe that they had sold him out to get the missile codes. The Pyramid wanted to conduct an auction and give access to the missiles to the highest bidder. Just then, a number of drones started hovering in the sky, and Harry knew that they would have to leave immediately.
‘True Lies’ Episode 5: Ending Explained – Was Omega Sector Able To Save Max?
The mercenaries got wind of the Omega Sector team’s location and started chasing them. Gib knew that in order to tackle the enemies, they would have to gain control of the drones that were hovering above them, but he didn’t know how to go about it. Just then, Max told Gib that he had an AI tool that could prove to be handy. Gib and Max got together in the van, and they used the latter’s AI generation decryption key to control the drones that were chasing them. Gib blasted the drones and killed the mercenaries who were after them. Max gave the missile codes to Omega Sector, and the Syrian and Israeli governments finally calmed down. Omega Sector once again successfully completed its mission and saved Max’s life. Gib was so impressed by Max’s skills that he gave him a job at the Omega Sector.
Harry and Helen had started having doubts about their parenting; they had started feeling that maybe they were not good parents and that they pushed their kids way too hard. But they decided that they were not going to get disheartened and would together find a solution to the rebellious nature of their daughter. Harry and Helen told Dana that they were not against her becoming a singer, but she had to take responsibility for her dreams. They advised Dana that she should take a side job and support her own ambitions. At the end of “True Lies” Episode 5, even Helen and Harry realized that there was a solution to every problem, no matter how hard it might seem at first, provided people just stayed calm and tried to look for it.
