realistic
an intelligence agency of a highly authoritarian state does not instruct its officers to look out for the closest known associate of a captured terrorist who attempted suicide
the closest known associate of the captured terrorist is standing next to their mutual place of work during his capture, literally watching him get taken away
the closest known associate of the captured terrorist sneaks in undetected to a highly-guarded hospital
none of the officers guarding the hospital were given a photo of this person (the closest known associate of this wanted terrorist who attempted suicide)
its so gritty and realistic
