The Terminal List: Dark Wolf season 1 episode 5 ends with the death of one of Edwards' team members, Eliza Perash. But, not before she reveals the reason why she shot Edwards in his safety vest and stole the case containing Molnar's bearings in The Terminal List: Dark Wolf season 1 episode 4.

It turns out that while she's part of Haverford's team and mission to switch the genuine bearings with the fake ones, she and Tal's primary mission is Haverford and the Shepherd. They were tasked by the Mossad to find out who the Shepherd is and what his deal is. Stealing the bearings and bringing them to Munich is part of the plan.

All of this is revealed in Zurich, shortly before unknown assailants try to kill them. And while Edwards is still wary of Eliza after her betrayal, he decides to trust her one more time. The final moments of The Terminal List: Dark Wolf season 1 episode 5 see them making their way to Stein in a Mini Cooper.

However, a pair of unknown motorcycling assassins finds them and plants a bag filled with explosives on top of the car. Edwards is able to jump just a second before it explodes, but Perash is not as lucky. While Edwards is able to gun down the attackers, Perash dies from the explosion, leaving Edwards totally alone, not knowing who to trust.

Hastings initially patches the guy up, but he cuts open one of the guy's wounds, telling him to start talking unless he wants to bleed out and die. The guy doesn't want to talk first, but as Hastings starts leveling up the pain index, he speaks out in the end. It turns out that the man is not part of the Khalid Network, whom Hastings and the team thought was behind the ambush in episode 4.

The man turns out to be a BND, the German Intelligence, but before he can explain why they were at the scene and why they shot at Haverford's team, the German intelligence officer dies. The Terminal List: Dark Wolf season 1 episode 5 leaves Hastings wondering what the BND's mission was, if they were tasked to take down the Khalid Network, and why they ambushed the team.

The Terminal List: Dark Wolf season 1 episode 5: Did Tal find the Shepherd?

In Munich, in episode 5 of the action show, Tal tracks Haverford's burner to a safehouse manned by a big, bald, bearded guy with a hobby of painting small figurines. While there is no confirmation that he is the Shepherd, all clues point to the same conclusion since Tal's mission was to locate him via the tracker she put in Haverford's burner.

There's also the secret portal/texting app the Shepherd has been using to communicate with Haverford on the scene. While Tal is able to download some of the data from the Shepherd's laptop, he walks in on her snooping in his house and tries to kill her. In retaliation, Tal ends up burning his face and killing him. She leaves the safehouse with the Shepherd's laptop.
