Welcome to "Prime Video Recaps," where I will be recapping
some of our favorite Prime Video original titles
in order for you to catch up before binging a new season.
With the final season of "Jack Ryan"
premiering on June 30th,
I thought you might need a little reminder
of what happened in Season 3 of "Jack Ryan."
Season 3 centers around Jack Ryan
investigating a secret plan
to restore the Soviet Union through war,
embarking on a dangerous op
with the help of Rome Station Chief Elizabeth Wright,
and CIA Station Chief in Russia, James Greer.
Season 3 begins in the year 1969 in Matoska, USSR.
A young soldier Luka and his general
is checking in with nuclear scientists
who are working on a top-secret government project
by the name of Sokol.
The General gives Luka the order
to shut down the Sokol project
and they kill all scientists involved.
In present-day Rome, Italy,
Jack Ryan is currently on a mission.
He finds a woman by the name of Zoya Ivanova,
a minister-counselor with the Russian embassy,
who gives him more background information
on his investigation of the Sokol project.
The project is to develop
a small-yield battlefield nuclear weapon
invisible to all radars, making it undetectable.
Zoya informs Jack the Sokol project is being reactivated
and the weapon has been made.
The Russians send Dmitriy Popov,
the Russian minister of defense,
to meet with Alena Kovac,
the president of the Czech Republic.
Dmitry arrives in Prague to meet with Alena,
and the building is filled with press,
which is against his wishes.
Dmitry asks Alena to not allow NATO
to use the Czech Republic as a missile launching station.
She says she will agree or postpone
if Russia agrees to cease further incursions into Ukraine.
Let's just say Dmitry is not happy about her decision.
Jack has the SIM card Zoya gave him analyzed,
and it's discovered that there's a mapping program
which will deliver the location of the nuclear weapon
once they are ready to use it.
Jack and Greer brief Rome Station Chief Wright
about what information they currently know,
but Wright doesn't think Jack has enough proven intel
to send in a team yet.
Jack receives the location of the weapon
and gets approval for a team of four operatives
to track down the ship and confirm if the weapon is real.
They track down the cargo
and find a Russian scientist by the name of Yuri Bashkin,
who claims he was behind
building the weapon for the Sokol project.
They take the scientist with them before escaping,
but not without a little gunfire.
Jack asks Yuri what he knows,
but he won't tell him much until he can secure asylum.
They are attacked and the entire team minus Jack and Yuri
are killed when they arrive on the coast of Greece.
Alena and Dmitriy meet again at the soccer stadium,
where Dmitriy is assassinated during their conversation.
An innocent man is framed and killed
for the murder of the Defense Minister.
Yuri and Jack are on the run.
As they seek shelter, Yuri is shot and killed.
Jack is placed on an international Red Notice
for entering Greece illegally
and eliminating a Russian national.
While on the phone with Wright,
he realizes she is seeking to place the blame on Jack
to protect US relations.
Wright demands Jack turn himself in,
but, instead, he decides to go rogue.
In a flashback to 1969 Matoska, USSR,
scientists are being executed
after the Sokol project is shut down.
Antonov tells Luka their orders
to remove evidence of the Sokol project isn't right
and he doesn't understand
why the project is being shut down.
In present-day Rome, Italy,
Greer is meeting with an old friend
in hopes of getting a message out to Jack.
Wright is on her way to track down Jack
as her job is now on the line due to the failed mission.
Greer and Wright are heading to Athens to track down Jack.
Jack is still being tracked by one of the shooters,
Konstantin, and is trying to lose him.
Jack also reaches out to his secret contact
and asks why he was lied to.
Leaders in Moscow meet to discuss and figure out
who is responsible for Dmitriy's death.
All speculation lands on the Americans,
but Gocharov thinks someone is framing the Americans,
but doesn't know who.
Wright and Greer meet with the chief of police
and are introduced to Konstantin Vyatkin,
who is with Russian intelligence.
The Russians have issued a Red Notice on Jack,
which means law enforcement worldwide
has been alerted to locate and arrest him.
Jack receives Greer's message, with an address and package.
The message sends Jack to an old acquaintance, Tony,
but it doesn't seem like Jack is too happy to see him.
We learn Alena's security guard, Radek,
is involved with the conspiracy
as he is trying to tie up loose ends.
It is confirmed that Radek is working for Alexei,
who is quickly promoted to
the new minister of defense position
after Dmitriy's assassination.
Wright and Greer pay Tony a visit
to see if Jack has been in contact.
Greer notices Konstantin is following them as well.

if she allows NATO to add their missiles,
it will be seen as an act of aggression.

and is unsuccessful.

and we find out that Gocharov is Luka,
who we have been seeing in the flashbacks.

and it is revealed that his wife Jana is working with him,
and was the same woman involved in the murder of Dmitriy.
Jack is able to leave Tony's place undetected
and seeks the help of a familiar friend,
ex-CIA operative Mike November,
and he picks him up on a plane headed to Santorini, Greece.
Wright finds out that Greer disobeyed her orders
and sent Jack money to help him stay on the run.
As a result, Wright decides to send Greer to Prague,
and Luka is revealed as the source
of who has been contacting Jack.
