Questions now arise on who was the person behind the intel that tipped the U.S. forces to believe that the terrorist leader was there, and most importantly, was the strike even authorized?
Other videos from the channel include the 35-year-old star talking about what's "in-store for Carrie Mathison" in the forthcoming season. She revealed that her character must come to terms with the loss of Damian Lewis' Nicholas Brody in Season 3.
"That's her arc," she said. Carrie was pregnant with his child at the time.
After the tragic incident, Carrie will find herself "alarmingly-high functioning" in her job in overseeing drone attacks where she's "all work, all the time." Maybe this is her way of coping with the loss.
"Carrie's gonna get into a very messy and dangerous territory," Danes said. This could pertain to the investigation of the hit-list or the drone target accident.
"It gets ugly," the "Stardust" actor added. Watch the trailer below.
