The team investigates how "actively engaged" the Government of Canada is on the case of Huseyin Celil. Plus, the team makes their final round of calls to the Xinjiang No. 1 Prison in a last-ditch attempt to learn anything about Huseyin's location and well-being. This time, there's a new and surprising response from the jail. Finally, host Yusuf Zine reflects on the results of this search for Huseyin - and adds his own personal letter to the piles of correspondence trying to reach him.

The team attempts to verify a stunning revelation from a 2021 report that listed Huseyin Celil as a prisoner who's been released. Was it possible that Huseyin is out of jail? If so, where would he go? Following this lead, the team uncovers more details about Huseyin's time in detention at the No. 1 prison. Plus, our translator returns to help make more phone calls to the prison staff - and they get even more heated.

The team goes back to the drawing board on how to best get information on Huseyin Celil. They turn to two high profile former Canadian politicians and an American self-described, human rights salesman, for help. Meanwhile, Huseyin Celil's family still will not return host Yusuf Zine's calls and Yusuf takes stock of who this show really serves.
