Previously on The Unit:
- Joining the family? - Yeah, if they'll have me.
- There's an extra grand in it. - For what?
- We weren't fighting. - The MPs were called...
...to a domestic disturbance in your home. Not the first time.
You will move into the bachelors' NCO quarters.
You will not be allowed in your house unless accompanied by an escort.
Yes, sir.
- Annie, I'll- - Go get some ice.
We're gonna see how many uses we can put it to.
Tom.
You're shot twice. Got it, the bleeding's stopped.
Yeah, he's stable.
Sniper.
You hold on. You hold on, you hear me?
You being here without an MP could get you fired.
One, two, three, four, hey, hey.
Doing double time to get more pay.
Quick time march.
One, two, three, four. One, two...
Tell your homeboys I wanna do business.
I know. Come by later, we'll talk then.
Mark time march.
Didn't I warn you about talking in my formation?
- Sarge, I was catching a cramp. - Women get cramps.
What are you, some kind of girl, boy?
- No, sarge. - I'll bet your real name's Susie, ain't it?
No, sarge.
Get out of my formation, Staff Sergeant Susie.
You're on latrine duty.
Fill this gap.
Forward march.
One, two, three, four.
Yo, man.
He's sad, brother. He is sad.
You slap bones?
Why don't you finish my man's hand?
- I'm Turo, by the way. - What up?
I'm G.
Snake Doc, the mouse just found the cheese.
Roger that, Cool Breeze.
Let's see if the hawk takes the bait.
I think we're being countered. I'm eyes in, over.
Now we got another 10.
So now both teams need 10 to go.
Domino.
Way to turn the tables on me.
I'll catch you losers later, I'm out.
Oh, not bad.
Yeah, that was cool.
- You want some more? - Some more what?
That's the question. Some more what?
I'm listening.
Maybe we can work on some other things.
I got access to stuff your gang might be interested in.
My gang? What gang is that?
You got the grip I gave you.
We're both Byz Lats, man.
Sorry, soldier.
Only gang I'm in is called the U.S. Army.
Yeah, I'm down with them too.
Come on, I'll buy you a brew.
This our peeping mom?
Special Agent Adrianne Lane, Criminal Investigation Division.
We're both eyeing the same food.
- I know the Byz Lats. - What?
They use moral waivers to infiltrate the Army.
Oh, that's nothing new.
At war, we need to lower the bar. We need more soldiers.
Many are joining ranks to steal and commit other crimes in uniform.
Talking about gangbangers?
My mission is to arrest and make examples of them.
- Gangs are not our concern. - What is?
We're interested in what soldiers have been contracted to do.
We intercepted an order seeking heat-sensitive explosives.
We got a man inside tracing that order back.
Sergeant Charles Grey.
That's right. Something amiss?
We know all about his involvement with the Los Angeles gang...
...prior to his enlistment.
We've got movement.
This is where you all keep the cold ones?
Take off your shirt.
This dude's not a cop.
What makes you so sure?
Too much dirt together back in the day.
You knew your man had a relationship with Diaz?
No such thing as coincidence.
How long you've been in?
About three years. You?
Lost count, but been working at the armory lately.
- Oh, straight on. - I'm running the joint.
I can get AP4's, M16's.
Everything go missing in Iraq, goes missing here first.
- Know what I mean? - How much you talking?
- Business as usual, man. - We don't do commerce with outsiders.
I was putting in work, you were still in diapers, so don't call me an outsider.
Hey, you wanna jump him in, be my guest.
- I passed this test in '93. - Yeah, well, school is back in session.
- Crank the sounds. - Where's this line start?
Hey, man, looks like you gotta start all over again.
Come on, grandpa.
That was just one punch.
- Stop this. - He'll be fine.
You don't know what these guys do to each other.
You sure this guy is fam.?
What?
Nobody here man enough to drop me in?
If we're gonna do business, let's do business.
Otherwise, I'm out.
- Who are you guys? - Doesn't matter.
Tracking these explosives is all that's important.
This is my case, I've already compiled evidence to start arresting these soldiers.
- That's not the strongest case to make. - Doesn't matter.
If we light them up, it will deter soldiers from going down the same path.
I want you to hold back on that.
Till we find out where those materials are going.
I'm not holding off on anything until you show me some credentials.
Mind if I show you something?
This is a heat-sensitive binary explosive.
It requires two compounds.
Apart, each is harmless.
Now, I put a drop of each compound on this powder fuse.
These are the same two mixtures these soldiers have in their possession.
You disguise it in an object with no metal or moving parts.
And there, you're through airport security.
Now remember, that's just one drop of binary explosive.
We don't know how much these soldiers have.
Let's talk before someone hops on a plane with a mini bottle of that stuff...
...and lights a match at 30,000 feet.
Oh, come on, baby, come on.
It's crazy busy in here tonight.
It's like this when they play the big game.
Got soldier boys, college kids mixed in with the regulars.
One of whom saw you serving...
...and dangled this for his own private dance.
- Yeah, I'm not working the floor tonight. - You should be, money to be made.
I'll watch your tables while you go cash in on the 50.
- You like it? - Oh, yeah.
I paid for a dance, I want my full five minutes.
Why haven't you taken my calls?
- To talk about what? - For starters, your new job.
I'm not your wife, soldier, and I'm not your dancer.
My time's not up.
- What is it you want? - I want you back.
That line is usually followed up with a hotel key.
Not this time, Tiffy.
Last few months, Hector's death, I've been reevaluating some things.
There's nothing I want more than to be with you.
When the team finds out, they'll put a bullet in your head.
God knows, if Hector told anyone he saw us.
I'm still breathing.
Tell me you didn't send him out because he saw us.
I absolutely did not send him out because he saw us.
I don't wanna sneak around anymore.
Then let's not. Goodbye.
Look, we're both gonna be divorced soon.
I'm looking forward to spending that time alone, taking care of myself.
I wanna take care of you.
Does that include resigning from your command?
If that's what it means to be with you, yes.
In six months, we could be together living in another corner of the country.
- Starting fresh. - Oh, I've heard that song before.
Now I can make it happen.
Or you can live your life down here.
You tell me.
Supposed to hit a truck for them tonight. Score some IOTV's.
We'll let you get away, and then follow you to the buyers.
And pray that the binaries are there.
- Just keep everybody back. - You are stealing military supplies.
It will be controlled and monitored.
What you have to understand is, if those vests go missing, it's my job.
And who are you again?
I'm the person that can bust these guys now...
...and end your investigation in a New York minute.
If you had the evidence to arrest, you'd have done it already.
- Back off. - Know what? Enough.
My man's on the line.
- I'm not taking orders from her. - No, you're taking them from me.
She needs the CID to surveil the robbery. It's called cooperation.
No reason to speak like that. Apologize.
Sue me for sexual harassment.
Come on, man, we're done here.
You know, I have been on this gang for over 13 months now.
We'll get their weapons stash, you'll have evidence.
Just give me 24 hours, and I'll keep my men on a tight leash.
Thank you for stepping in.
Well, it wasn't right.
I understand.
Look, it wasn't my choice to work with them.
I needed the little one because of his history with the gang.
The big one came as part of the package.
Twenty-four hours, then I take my chips off the table...
...whether you have explosives or not.
Fair. That's more than fair.
Hey, how do you know which one it is?
Told you G would come through. Simple snatch and grab.
Listen, they're all simple till they're not.
What's up, man? We gonna talk business or what?
Hey, chill, we're catching up right now.
- It's been forever since we kicked it. - Since when?
Tell me that you remember.
That liquor store job.
What was that like now?
Stuck up the bodega back in our hood.
Few days later, I got busted. Off to juvie.
G here evaded and joined the Army.
Don't hate on me because I was faster than you.
Get them on. They look a little bit...
- Oh, you see that? - Oh, man.
Go a little toe-to-toe?
Really? It's been a while.
- Where you at? - Where you at, huh?
A little bit.
Whoo!
- You still fall for that. - Shut up.
- Figured you'd be higher up than you are. - Made corporal three times.
Kind of slows you down.
Uncle Sam only let us get so far.
Yeah, true that.
So, G, what brought you back to the life?
I tried to make a living in the Army, damn near got myself killed.
Last deployment, few months ago.
Shooting people with darker skin.
Yeah, and the Pentagon jerked me around on the rehab.
I realized Uncle Sam ain't got no love for me.
That's real, bro.
The only brothers I ever had are the brothers right here.
Mm-hm.
That's it, bro.
Let's check this out.
Is this all you got?
The guy we had on the inside got shipped out, we moved a lot of it.
- What you looking for? - Stinger, ASAP.
I can hook you up on that, man, no problem.
- Dude, I never thanked you. - For what?
Looking out for me when we're coming up.
- Oh, come on, cut it out. - No, no, no, seriously.
When Moms died, I was bugging, man.
I mean, you had my back.
You were this nappy teenager in the hood, somebody had to do it.
Just like you, man.
Listen, G's setting us up.
Why don't you let our buyer know he should be en route?
It's all good, man. We're family.
Sorry, sorry, my boys are a little clumsy.
It's all right, I'm fine. Here's your pitcher and your bill.
It's a half-hour till last call.
We got a five-pitcher maximum on all parties.
- Fine, bring a bottle of Scotch. - Cut off means cut off.
That's ridiculous.
- I don't make the rules, just follow them. - Here, keep the tip.
- And keep the good times rolling. - I would if I could.
But I can't take your money. We have drink restrictions.
I'm giving you an $80 tip to look the other way.
- Is there a problem? - Waitress won't give me what I paid for.
Well, he's trying to bribe me to bring him a sixth pitcher.
- Sir, we can't sell you any more drinks. - Why not?
I'm giving you my damn money.
And now I'm gonna have to ask you to get out of here.
Not till you bring me my damn drink.
Wait, your money's right there.
- You heard what she said. - No, I'm not going anywhere.
Don't. Get off me, man, don't touch me.
- Get off me. - I should've stayed in medical school.
Someone had a good night.
I did okay.
Thanks to your mystery man.
I saw who gave you the $50.
Did you?
Colonel Ryan.
I didn't dance for him though.
Tiffy, you don't have to explain.
Hector told me that he saw the two of you at the motel.
- Did he tell anyone else? - No.
- Just me, I think. - Did he tell anyone on the team?
I don't think so, he was struggling with what to do.
- But you're not certain though? - What's the big deal?
The Unit works a little different than the rest of the world.
We all deserve to do what makes us happy, right?
It's recognizing what that is that trips most of us up.
- Is that right? - I don't know, I read it somewhere.
Come on, let's get you home to your girls.
Well, someone left the SUV for the night.
Somebody in there?
You girls go to your car, I'm gonna take care of him.
Hey, ladies, we're having a party at our house. You're invited.
No, thanks, we're both all played out.
Come on, it will be fun.
You two, me, the guys.
You heard what she said, now back up.
- I'm not talking to you. - Well, I'm talking to you, now back up.
Hey, wait.
Hey, come on. Put him down, put him down.
Hey, hey, come on.
You knew this party wasn't gonna end.
- I paid for you. - Come on.
I paid for you.
Get the hell away from us.
Tiffy, run him down.
Run him down!
- Hey, come on, come on, let's go. - Let's go.
Get the car going.
Tiffy?
- Sorry, colonel, he just- - I need permission to see my wife.
You just busted through my door for that?
She's in the hospital, sir.
What happened?
I don't know, you've forbidden me to see her without somebody present.
I'll ride along.
Next, let's go, let's go.
This is not basic training, but this platoon will be in shape.
Next.
One, two, three.
- Susie, you ragging it again? - No, sarge.
Get over here and give me 50.
Next.
Did I tell you to do girl pushups?
Next. Did you join up to do modern dance?
Or you joined up to be a soldier?
- Did you find the weapons stash? - Nothing, couple of crates.
I'm gonna go back, check it out. My guess is the big stash is off base.
Next. You slowing down on me, miss?
We'll have to get them to take us to it.
Give me couple of days, I'm gonna need some help.
Then I'll be dressed to kill.
When we move in, get ready to run.
Next. Get back in line, Susie.
And see if you can't get it right just once.
Your man just made contact.
Uh, hi, how do you know that?
- Gang's not the only thing I'm watching. - I see.
Did he find the stash?
I wanna make a deal.
- Did he find the stash? - Hear me out.
What do you have to offer me?
If I move in now, I get my evidence and made my case.
- I didn't say my man found anything. - Then why did he make contact?
Here's the deal.
You get the collar, you get the credit.
We don't exist. We were never there.
- Why would you do that? - A, I need more time.
- I want the binaries. - The binaries.
And B, the man I work with.
He can't wait to stand in front of the press and tell the world...
...he prevented explosives from getting in the hands of terrorists.
- We all wanna be heroes. - No, you and I wanna stop the bad guys.
He'd like the story to play on television...
...so he can impress the waitresses.
- And you? - I'd prefer to burn him.
Why would you wanna do that?
To please you.
Because...
Because when this is over, I'd like to impress you.
Yo, Rock asked me to check the inventory.
He ask you to break in as well?
Inventory list is in my back pocket.
Guy you had cooking your books was a chucklehead.
- How we get all this? - Four letters.
L- U-C-K, in that order.
You can't blind rob the Army.
Make it look like the stuff taken is accounted for.
- How'd you become so well-informed? - I can show you better than tell you.
You better hope you can.
D3094's a bar code from the list.
Says it's in storage. We have that crate.
Exactly, and Army will find it, there's trackers on each crate.
But if I do this:
It's off the grid.
Some clerk in Iraq is tearing up his warehouse trying to find it.
- Gentlemen, can I see some ID? - I work in this department, he's with me.
It's a T.S. restricted area. I need to see his ID as well.
Oh, I'm sorry, I don't have it on me.
- But here's my Army ID. - It's not good enough, sarge.
I gotta call it in.
Go.
The man your guy put in the hospital was my undercover agent.
Is that your idea of cooperation?
Well, if we were working together...
...why didn't you tell me that you had a man on the inside?
This is a damn amateur hour here.
I guarantee you, I will generate paper on this.
- And that is on your head, Agent Lane. - She told me.
I forgot to tell you, it's my fault.
Different amateur, great.
You know what? Change of plan, we bust them now.
- We haven't found the explosives. - Lot of crates, could be in any of them.
We still got them on weapons robberies. Flip one of them to get to the explosives.
- Sound like a plan to you, Agent Lane? - Yes, it does.
It's okay, baby.
You're in a hospital.
You got in an accident and knocked unconscious.
The doctor said you'd be a little dazey.
Sir, could you give us a minute?
Listen, you suffered a grade three concussion.
We're gonna stay overnight and monitor your progress.
- Where are the girls? - Sleeping at Molly's.
- What happened? - Doesn't matter.
What's important is that I'm here.
And you're gonna be okay.
Excuse me, detective.
I'd like to ask about the Gerhardt investigation.
Are you a witness?
- Related? - No, sir, I'm a friend of the family.
We took witness statements on the scene.
You gonna pick up the folks responsible?
- We've already released them. - I beg your pardon?
Football players gave statements that she offered them sex for money.
It's right here in the police report.
And what about Annie and the bouncer's testimony?
Both are employees at the bar. We've had reports like this.
It just seems like another case of solicitation gone bad.
And that's it?
If you wanna follow up on a football hero vs. hooker case...
...be my guest, but there's only so much time in a day.
- You want anything else? - No, I'm feeling better.
I keep thinking about you.
Thinking what?
About how I like coming to your rescue.
Be quiet.
Really, Tiffy, I mean, you go from one catastrophe...
...to the next disaster.
And the only constant is me.
Because you're usually the cause.
I am not the best husband in the world, but I will never leave you.
And that's not gonna change, so we should stop pretending that it is.
Mack, I'm not pretending.
You weren't pretending the last time we were together, were you?
No, we were grieving.
You know, we helped each other through the night.
But that doesn't take away from the fact that we're getting a divorce.
I don't want that anymore.
Well, the decision's no longer yours, so you might as well accept it.
All you have is one crate.
All right, just sign on the line there.
Thank you, sir.
I told you this would be easy.
Cool Breeze, I'm on the package, over.
Police aren't gonna protect my wife, who is?
Any trouble comes out of this, not only gonna affect you, but also the Unit.
You know what they called her?
I feel for you, but I need you to think this through.
And if it was somebody that you loved, colonel...
...would you give me the same advice?
- Any glitches? - No, everything was cool.
A little too cool if you ask me.
- So, what's up with this buyer? - What, are you in accelerated class?
- You've been on me since I got here. - I'm sick of you.
Why don't you do something about it?
Cool Breeze, we got a problem.
Ten seconds out and counting, Snake Doc.
- MP's are coming. - I knew this was gonna happen.
- Say one more thing about me. - Shut the hell up, come on.
This is the Criminal Investigative Division of the United States Armed Forces.
- You're not taking them on. - Game ain't about running.
Yo, dog, this is a military base.
And we're soldiers, so strap up and get ready.
It's going down.
Good, let's get movement.
Weapons strike.
Only two access points to this place, Snake Doc.
Roger that, I'm gonna move around. Keep an eye on Carlito.
I'll have Lois Lane keep her troops out front and force them back to you.
Yo, we gotta bounce, now.
- Morales! - Bro.
I'm getting the car, get ready to roll.
Let's go.
Bring them on, get on in.
- Go, go, go. - Moving in.
- How you feeling? - Like I've been shot in the chest.
Room's empty, the stash was never here.
Well, then they must've moved it.
You needed to chase them off base in order to find this binary.
And so you used the chick CID agent, nice.
- We needed more time. - As a result, I've got no evidence.
- My suspects are out. - Our man's with them.
Thirteen months of investigation down the toilet...
...and my job soon to follow.
Whoever you are, whatever your name is...
...you're one son of a bitch.
Are you riding with us?
I got my own car.
Way to lose him, bro.
That was some move you put on him back at the light.
Leave the damn guns in the car in case we get stopped.
Samour, what up, man? This is Rock.
No, we had a little problem.
I always knew you were bad mojo.
- Shut up, I saved all your asses. - You forced us to rush this.
Hard to be second-guessing ourselves. We need to get out of the country.
- I need a smoke. - Yeah, we'll get on that.
Okay, we'll meet you at the bar on 6th, Alvarado Corridor.
Yeah, two hours. Sweet.
- We switching cars? - Nobody gonna stop us in this.
Come on.
See all that right there?
That's our walking around money.
This, check this out, this is our real money.
This right here is our retirement fund.
- Yo, who got a light? - Are you out of your damn mind?
- These are heat-sensitive explosives. - You gotta mix them first, Einstein.
Just change into those and shut up.
- No. - Car's clean.
No, if our man was here, car can't be clean.
My techies just found this GPS tracker.
If you can't track them, I guess they're gone.
Yeah, I'm not buying it.
Lift carriage.
Negative on the passenger side as well.
I told you our man would leave a sign.
- How do you know it's from him? - Quartered matchbook.
Old school Army gag.
Alvar 6, sounds like Alvarado Street, street in L.A.
There's also a 6th Street in L.A.
Let's move.
You gonna ride with us now?
Are these the guys from last night?
I don't know. I can't remember.
It's okay, Tiffy, take your time.
It was him, he was the leader.
- The quarterback? - Yeah, and they were there also.
- How'd you find them? - I don't want this escalating any further.
- Just take the information to the cops. - The cops already let them go.
What? Why? Why would they do that?
Because you have a DUI.
You're a stripper.
And they said that you were soliciting for sex.
And now I'm a hooker.
- I'm gonna take care of this. - Don't go doing anything stupid.
Wait, Tiffy, I know how he feels.
I'll watch after him.
How'd you know about those explosives?
Any private that had ordnance training knows what those are.
And that guy you shot when we were leaving...
...was our new platoon sergeant.
- What? - He's not CID, what was he doing there?
- How the hell should I know? - You set us up.
What, you got happy feet? Put that thing away.
- I knew there wasn't something right. - Rock, you better get your boy.
- I ain't so sure no more, G. - What, you think I'd set you up?
- We're like brothers, man. - Swear on it.
We're family, dog.
I swear on my mother's grave.
I'm not setting you up.
Put the gun down.
- Don't tell me you're buying this- - Put the damn gun down like I said.
He's telling the truth.
That's Samour.
- Hi. - Oh, good to see you.
What's up with them?
- Hi. - How are you?
You guys looking for somebody?
What's up with them, bro?
Sorry, ladies, we gotta go.
It's that time, brother.
- That's the quarterback. - Do I know you?
- You ought to. - Why's that?
You forced my wife into an accident.
What are you talking about?
You and your teammates from the club,
follow us to the police station.
Sorry, but we're heading back to the team dorm before curfew.
Not until you talk to the cops.
- Why would I do that? - Because I asked you.
Here's exactly what happened last night.
Your hooker wife got an $80 tip from me without working on me for it.
You better watch your mouth.
What kind of husband lets his wife work at a place like that?
- This is going nowhere, let's go. - I'm not done.
Mack, let's go.
- Call campus security. - Mack, keep your head, he's just a kid.
Not what his wife said when she was doing-
I have several clients interested in heat-sensitive binary.
Guns are not so easy to move.
Stay in the car.
Stop me.
Look, it is her collar.
I'll keep her near.
Don't you wanna test the explosives?
You know what I will do if they're not right.
Nobody move.
Everyone put your hands on the table, now.
Don't do it.
Oh, be smarter than you look.
Army may have taught you how to fight.
They also taught you how to lie and turn on family.
Only family I ever had left this Earth...
...when my mother died.
You know what I keep thinking about?
Hector Williams.
Hector Williams was a hell of a man.
We should all think about him from time to time.
Thanks for riding shotgun with me today, sir.
Anytime, soldier.
Well, everything I said that mattered came out true.
The collar's yours, the credit is yours.
Okay.
Maybe you'd like to take me out for that drink now.
That's not the part that matters.
- It would've been nice if it was. - Maybe next time around.
You all right?
Yeah, left a part of me back there.
Wanna go back and get it?
All gone.
- Just stopping by to check on you. - Don't worry, I'm fine.
You thought any more about our conversation?
The answer to your question is no.
It's not too late for us, Tiffy.
Affairs like ours don't lead to marriage.
Ours can.
Boy, you're snakebit.
I don't know what your problem is, but I'm not the solution.
I love you.
I love you too, Tom.
Take care of yourself.
