Why did Jack Ryan resign as Deputy Director of the CIA?

To uncover the imminent threat surrounding the agency, he decides to resign from his position and suggests James Greer as his replacement. Jack takes this risk to protect his country. After Mike tracks down Chavez in California using his tattoo, Jack later joins them, enjoying what could be Chavez's "last night”.

Meanwhile, in Myanmar, it is revealed that the Triad is involved in more than just drug trafficking, they are also engaged in human trafficking under Chao Fah's operation. Although Fah intends to exit the game, his plans take a drastic turn after Miller's death.
