Going against Showtime’s five-episode norm, Greg Barker’s Ghosts of Beirut decides to end the series one episode early, and it culminates with the CIA and Mossad closing in on Imad Mughniyeh for the final showdown. For three decades, Imad had been a ghost who struck from the shadows and left bodies as his handiwork, but in the previous episode, he’d revealed himself. His pride had been his folly, and now his face was no longer an enigma. Here’s what happens in the final episode of Showtime’s Ghosts of Beirut, as Imad Mughniyeh plans something catastrophic.

What Was Imad Planning?
After Imad’s face makes it to the CIA and Mossad’s HQ, the Father of Smoke is no longer a mystery but a man with a face and a family, and hence, a man with fears. However, even when the two parties meet,...

The third episode of Showtime’s Ghosts of Beirut was released today, and the greatest takeaway from this episode should be ‘Pride is the biggest cause of the downfall of man.’ Imad Mughniyeh, aka Radwan, aka Father of Smoke, had caused havoc in Lebanon and every other part of the world where Jewish people lived to make his presence felt. After the explosion of the mosque in the second episode, Imad’s terrorism only grew. Episode 3 transports us to 2007, where Imad’s recklessness leads him to make mistakes he’ll come to regret dearly. Here’s what happens in the third episode of Ghosts of Beirut.

The second episode of the spine-chilling true story of a manhunt for one of the deadliest terrorists, Ghosts of Beirut, was released today. Previously, we’d been introduced to Lebanese local Imad Mughniyeh, who took it to heart to rid his country of Israeli and American presence by orchestrating suicide bomber attacks. After a suicide bomber drove a truck to the US Embassy and killed CIA operative Robert Ames, among others, the US government started taking the Lebanese situation seriously. However, poor decisions and a lack of planning were to lead to far more damage to the mission and CIA’s integrity, as we’re to see in this week’s episode of Ghosts of Beirut.

Imad Mughniyeh was responsible for more American deaths in terrorist attacks before the devastating 9/11 bombings and was able to outsmart not only the CIA but also the Mossad. Making matters even more difficult was the fact that no one knew what he looked like. By 2001, he was on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist list with a $15 million bounty for information leading to his arrest. The reward was later bumped up to $25 million. He ultimately appeared on the most wanted list in 42 countries before he died was assassinated at the age of 45 in a car bombing in 2008.

“I don’t know why I find it so easy to sort of disappear into people,” wonders “Ghosts of Beirut” star Garret Dillahunt. For our recent webchat he continues, “I think it’s almost a need I have to not be myself. I don’t put myself through any kind of painful stereotypical acting exercises to get in a headspace. As a failed writer, I perhaps place writing to such high esteem. I just want to serve the story. If you come in with ego-lessness, it’s really easy to subvert your own and just give over to the story and let it flow though you.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.
