The Unit 9-28-08

We start out in France, Jonas is doing his thang, trying to sweet talk somebody out of something. The woman who is translating tells the french men that she thinks he's wearing a wire, she then pushes Jonas into the water wear Bob is waiting. Jonas grabs a gun and Mac shoots one of the french guys. Bob and Jonas come up shooting. Everybody dies.

The next scene, we see the woman who was translating, changing in the back of a military air craft. Jonas comes in and introduces himself, and so does everyone else. They banter back and forth, Grey asks if we can keep her, Jonas says she goes back to her own command.

Stateside, we are at the radio station. Tiffy and Molly are discussing Tiffy's divorce and that Mac has been gone five months. Tiffy says she has to surprise him with divorce papers, he's going to fight. Molly says he won't, Tiffy said he's a warrior, when he's challenged he fights. Kim is on the air, and indicating that she is now syndicated in eight markets.

Kim takes a break to go talk to Tiffy and Molly and check on her baby, that is with the nanny in the office. Their get together is shortened by news that the Vice President has been shot.

In the war room, the colonel is getting a briefing while still in crisis. The FBI has shot a man they believe to have been planning an attempt on the President. The Vice President died in Rome. The President is secure. There has been an explosion at the VP elect's home and he is believed to be dead. The President elect's motorcade has also been attacked.

Jonas is on the phone in air. When he gets off the phone he tells the team to load up with whatever we've got, the flight is being diverted. He then gets back on the phone and says his team is himself and three shooters. They'll be on the ground in 10 minutes. The woman on board says she's a shooter too. He says they'll give her a chance.

The team is on the ground. They are looking for the President elect. They find a spike strip. They are looking for the receiver of the lojack that is on the President elect. Bob assessed the situation and says there were eight shooters. Grey finds a trail, and the team goes off looking for the President. They find a badly wounded Secret Service agent. He says "Clint has him" then "they had the code too." He then dies. The find the receiver for the lojack and take his ammo.

Redhat, the new girl, is running the command from a fire tower. She determines they were on their way to NORAD as it was the closest secure bunker. The team runs into a squad patrolling the woods. One of them grew up in the area, and Jonas snags him for the team.

Back on base Molly comes home to find her home being packed up and moved out of her home. The soldier tells her to get inside.

Kim is experiencing the same at her house. A soldier is telling her to pack whatever she'll need for a week, no identification. There are bags for each of the children. The soldier tells her to make sure there is nothing with their names on anything they pack. Kim tells them her baby is sick and has to go to the doctor. They cannot tell them when they are coming home, and instruct Kim to "pack as if you aren't."

Tiffy is seen inside a room waiting, Kim, their new baby Emily, and Molly come in. They discuss that none of them know what is happening, and that they need to pick up the kids from school. A soldier comes in and tells them to put their purses, wallets, cell phones, personal pictures, keys to their houses and cars in the bag.

Back in the woods of Colorado, Redcap calls and informs Jonas that the guy they snagged that grew up around there doesn't officially exist, he's a bogey. They lose communication. Jonas sends the bogey to check out a trailer, who gives it a once over and says it's clear. Jonas commands him to check it out more carefully and he doesn't do anything. The team has surrounded him and Bob punches him in the face at the same time Grey kicks him in the back of the knee, they take him down. Jonas asks why he would sell out his country, he informs him that he is not an American. Jonas then gives Grey the option to hog tie him or shoot him.

They've determined that the entire squad is filled with bogey's and that is how they are going to get out of the area with the President elect, by blending in. Jonas checks out the "surprise" in the trailer. They find two dead men. They also find two dogs missing and wonder why they would take the dogs. Jonas goes back to the bogey that Grey has tied to a tree, he is now speaking a foreign language. Jonas then puts a lot of beef jerky in the guys pockets and tells him he hopes the bears get to him before he returns.

The tracks lead off in one direction, the lojack in another. Mac takes the lojack while Bob and Jonas follow the tracks. Jonas then calls the Colonel and tells him that he needs all men in uniform out of the area. The Colonel tells him that it will be a big operation pulling them all out and wants to know why. Jonas tells him he won't say on the line, and adds that he's going to start shooting anyone he sees in uniform. They blow up the trailer for "misdirection."

Back on base there is a medic checking out baby Emily. A suit comes in and Kim tells him that she needs a pediatrician. He says they don't have time.

Mac finds the lojack tied to a dog. Jonas reports his position to Redcap, while they are mapping it, one of her team is shot. Redcap is getting shot at, she takes the dead guy as cover, ties a rope to him, uses him as a decoy and sneaks out the back. She ends up shooting the guy.

Back at base they've gotten a pediatrician, the kids have been brought in from school. The baby needs an antibiotic drip. The Colonel comes in and says Kim has to give them the baby and go with him. He takes the women into the office and tells them they are being relocated. They need to send the children, including the baby to go and live with relatives. He explained that the breech in the Vice Presidents protection had killed himself four hours ago, they had also found his wife and kids dead. They tracked the man who had killed the family and in his hotel room they found video of all the women at their homes, walking with the baby.

They are then given new identities.

Jonas and the team have found the President elect. He determines that they are loyal Americans and agrees to go with them. Jonas explains that they are going to have to walk out. Then people start shooting at them. I think Bob gets hit, but only in the vest. The team gets back to the house they'd passed on the way. Explaining that the bogey's have stopped shooting because they are surrounding the team and the team will need to make their stand.

Redcap runs into Mac, and they MacGyver together a fingerprint kit to send the prints of the shooter to the D.O.D. Redcap says that her radio is dead.

Kim is saying bye to the kids and telling them to be good for Grandma.

Back in the cabin the boys have put the President elect into a cast iron tub and given him all of the vests to "cover what's important" Grey says they only have .22 rounds and the bogey's will be wearing Kevlar. Jonas tells him he'd better shoot them in the head. Bob finds a bow and arrow which will apparently go through Kevlar. The bogey's are getting close, Grey has found some black powder and is making an IED. Tells the team to aim at the head and the groin. Bob shoots one with a bow and several others start firing at the house. There is an exchange of gunfire inside the house, Grey throws the IED and it explodes in the house. One of the bogey's is the first up, Jonas is laying on top of the President elect in the tub when Mac comes in and kills the last bogey. Bob comes in right behind him.

Back on base Tiffy is telling the girls they have to go live with Grandma when Mac and the rest of the team walk in. Mac comes in and kisses Tiffy. Jonas tells Molly they are going to the "mattresses". Everyone is sleeping inside the unit tonight. Mac asks Tiffy why she isn't wearing her wedding ring. She said she left in on the dresser and the MP's took everything. Mac grabs her knee and no one says anything.

Kim tells Bob that Emily has her eyes and looks like Bob's sister. Kim says she has lots of pictures, but they were all taken away.

The next morning Bob is going through all his boxes looking for a baby picture. Mac comes in looking through his boxes to find Tiffy's ring. (We all know what he finds) He finds the picture of Tiffy with the Colonel. Bob then sees it. Mac is going through his stuff for his throw away gun. Bob asks where he's going, to a trial and execution. Mac asks if he wants to come or just read about it. Bob and Mac then get into a fist fight. Bob tells him to take it to the team.

Tiffy storms into the Colonel's office and says her and Mac are divorcing and she's taking the girls. He tells her that the kids will have to stay with their father. He tells her that these people kill their own children, do you think they won't kill yours.

At the Unit hideout in the woods, Mac is drinking. He explains that it is Unit Code that if an officer sleeps with a shooters wife, that officer must be executed. Jonas tells Mac that his mission is secondary to the current attack on the country. Mac agrees to put it off with the promise that there will be a trial.

The Unit is gathered where the Colonel is briefing them that the incidents were not in public view, so the Vice President was killed by a lone deranged gunman, the Vice President elect was killed by an accidental explosion. The line of succession is now secure. He further informs them that because they were out of the country for so long they are the only team that has been vetted for duty. Redcap says she's joined the team, would like the Colonel to approve it. He informs her that there are no women in the Unit, which the enemy knows and that he could use here. The team obviously disgusted with the Colonel can't wait to get out of there, he gives them their marching orders and says they are to answer only to him.

Redcap boards the bus that is taking the women to their new location. They ask if she's part of the Unit, she says there are no women in the Unit and tells them they are not going to a base. She assigns each of them new identities, and tells them to memorize their cover and forget the truth, there is only one truth, the cover. The lives they had before are over.
