The Terminal List: Dark Wolf Episode 6, titled Pawns & Kings, unravels some of the show’s most shocking revelations yet, including Shepherd’s real identity and the disturbing reason behind Eliza’s death. Her assassination was orchestrated by Shephard and Haverford, who conspired to silence her after she raised suspicions about his role in the mission.
For Ben Edwards, Eliza’s death in Episode 5 hits hardest. Their bond is emphasized in a quiet but emotional moment when he recovers her bracelet, a cherished gift from her mother, and carefully washes away the blood. It’s a symbol of both his grief and his growing mistrust of Haverford’s intelligence.
And with the revelations in the latest episode, the operation shifts dramatically. What began as a mission to control nuclear materials now turns into a fight to expose the betrayal within their own ranks.
The Terminal List: Dark Wolf Episode 6: Tal Veron Unmasks the Real Shepherd
Episode 6 of The Terminal List: Dark Wolf delivers a relentless mix of betrayal, shifting loyalties, and shocking revelations. What begins as Ben pressing Haverford for clarity soon unravels into one of the series’ most devastating deceptions.
The task force learns that their strike on what they believed was the Khalid Network was in fact an assault on German intelligence, who themselves were maneuvering to intercept the real nuclear bearings exchange.
However, Haverford’s manipulation continues when he reveals Vahid Rahimi as his intel, Shepherd. He claims that Vahid had been feeding them false intelligence all along. Haverford then coerces him into keeping the nuclear deal alive before suddenly executing him.
But the real bombshell comes from Tal Veron, when she discovers that Shepherd, believed to be dead, is still alive. Her investigation leads her directly to Cyrus Ramini, Vahid’s own brother, who is revealed as the real Shepherd.
In league with Haverford, Cyrus orchestrated the chaos to secure the bearings and bolster his political ascent in Iran, even at the cost of his brother’s life.
The revelation confirms all Hastings’s suspicions about Haverford and his intel from the very beginning. It validates Hastings’ suspicions and exposes the staggering scope of Haverford’s betrayal.
Did Raife Hastings Quit the Mission in The Terminal List: Dark Wolf?
In Episode 6 of The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, Raife Hastings faces a moral and emotional crossroads. Having joined the operation primarily because of his loyalty to Ben, Hastings is increasingly at odds with the mission’s methods and Haverford’s manipulations.
The breaking point comes after learning that he had tortured and killed a supposed enemy who turned out to be an ally, leaving him devastated and questioning the purpose of the entire mission.
He eventually decides to step back. Ben, however, urges him to stay and finish the mission, but Hastings insists their role, taking down Massoud Danawi, was already accomplished. He tries to convince him, asserting that the system only exploits its operatives.
Hastings also confronts Ben, highlighting that his persistence is driven more by his personal need to fight than by loyalty or justice for Daran or Eliza, a moment hinting at Ben Edwards’ gradual moral descent into the morally gray character seen in the original Terminal List.
Yet Hastings doesn’t completely disappear. Later, he is seen observing the bearing exchange from a distance, leaving viewers questioning whether he truly quit or simply distanced himself from the team.
The Terminal List: Dark Wolf Episode 6: The Bearings’ Truth Leaves Everyone Stunned
Episode 6 of The Terminal List: Dark Wolf delivers one of the most explosive twists yet, reshaping everything the task force thought they knew. After weeks of betrayal and double-crosses, Ben Edwards, Farooq, and Landry find themselves at the Geneva airstrip.
Their mission is simple on paper: exchange fake nuclear bearings with Iranian minister Yousef and walk away with the payment. But what should have been routine spirals into chaos when the bearings unexpectedly pass Yousef’s inspection.
The revelation stuns the team. Somehow, the case they carried contains the real bearings. Confused and desperate, they allow the deal to proceed, only for Yousef to depart aboard a private plane. At this critical moment, Ben receives a revealing image, exposing Haverford, with the real Shepherd, Cyrus Ramini, as the mastermind behind the chaos.
That’s when Ben makes a fateful decision. Alongside Farooq and Landry, he launches a brutal assault, gunning down every operative on board before executing Yousef himself. In his dying breath, Yousef manages to call Cyrus, leaving Cyrus and Haverford to hear the carnage unfold in real time.
Episode 6 Sets the Stage for a High-Stakes Showdown in The Terminal List: Dark Wolf finale
But the fallout in Episode 6 is far from over. Back at the safe house, the team discovers a damning letter left behind by Haverford. Addressed to the CIA director, it brands Ben, Hastings, Farooq, and Landry as rogue agents, blaming them for the deaths of Mossad and BND officers and accusing them of enabling Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
The stunning development clears up long-standing questions about Haverford’s motives and cements him as the architect of the entire deception. Now, with no evidence to prove their innocence, the fractured team must face the harsh reality, and the only way to survive is to catch Haverford and Cyrus red-handed.
Episode 6 sets the stage for an electrifying showdown, where trust is gone, enemies wear friendly faces, and the line between survival and betrayal has never been thinner.
As the series barrels toward its finale, key questions loom large. Will Ben finally bring Haverford down? Can the team reclaim their names before being hunted by their own allies? And will Raife Hastings, still torn between loyalty and disillusionment, return to fight one last time?
The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is available to stream on Prime Video.
