Previously on "the unit"...
you have no idea what
drake's capable of.
He killed the vice president,
he launched a chlorine
attack. Am i missing something?
You brought a friend.
Her husband's a special forces soldier.
That's interesting.
Colonel ryan knows your wife is missing,
and he instructed me not to inform you.
I have some concerns about
colonel ryan's judgment.
Drop it, jonas!
Make it look good.
You put my wife in danger, my wife!
And Sam Mcbride.
- He's been working with you all along.
- Sam is on the inside.
From now on, we'll
know whatever he knows.
37 kilograms of enriched
u-235 weapons grade uranium.
That's enough for multiple bombs.
If there's gonna be an
attack here in america
and if russian elements are behind it,
you know what the means.
If you're ever ready
to leave this place,
you come find me.
I was told i can find
what i'm looking for here.
I profoundly hope so.
Very nice.
Any more on the menu?
I'd be surprised if we
can't suit your taste.
My, oh, my.
You keep looking at me like that,
you might give a girl ideas.
And what will you give me in return?
Whiplash.
You're still on the team.
Never left it.
That's quite a cover you
built for yourself, whiplash.
Thank you, sergeant.
***, spree shooter,
terrorist henchman.
I stepped on a couple of
toes during the pantomime.
I only regret what i
put bridget through.
You were on a mission.
Drake's waiting on me.
- Where is he now?
- He's down the road.
Told him i needed to
relieve a little tension.
- Hey sympathized?
- He seemed to.
There's uranium. Tell me about it.
37 kilos of russian u-235.
Drake said it's been weaponized already.
Weaponized where?
He says it's stashed in
some storefront in Atlanta.
We're driving down tomorrow to meet up
with the rest of the team.
I'll tail you to Atlanta.
If i may.
All right.
This guy's good.
He picks up on you,
he'll abort the plan.
No. Step up in atlanta.
We'll be together there.
- What's the target?
- I don't know.
You don't know?
- He hasn't told me yet.
- Don't he trust you?
He's working on it.
I'll see you in Georgia.
See you there.
Helo touches down in Atlanta
with alpha and bravo in 10.
I need to see every
little crook and nanny
in a 5-block radius up on that board.
Sir, the commander of Georgia state patrol
has 12 units ready to move.
Atlanta swat with 4 more.
Is he deaf or disrespectful?
I told him no outsiders on this one.
Mayor's office is on line 5. He'd like
to clearresidents from the block.
Negative. Drake sees anything out
of the ordinary, he'll flinch.
Sir, the mayor's concerned
about collateral damage.
- Is he now?
- Sir, he is.
You tell him that
will be a drop in the bucket
if we don't do this right.
We better push it if we're gonna
make atlanta before sundown.
We're running late.
Give me your phone, i'll call ahead.
No. Not necessary.
What is this now?
Got to shake things up.
End of the road.
I thought the end of
the road was atlanta.
No. The end of the road's here.
Smart. Thank you.
Last looks, gentlemen.
If you have any questions,
share them with me.
No?
Your cash.
Itineraries out of the country.
Secure phones.
Directions to your targets inside.
St. Louis, philadelphia, dallas.
Park your vehicles where instructed
and get out of the blast zone quickly
unless you want the mother of all tans.
Here you go.
I thought there was only one bomb.
I know you did.
In the backseat where you
can keep an eye on the weapon.
Drive the speed limit,
don't run any reds,
and for god's sake,
easy over the potholes.
None for me?
You and i have other business.
Let's hear it.
We have a friend in high places
who's been very helpful to us.
A mole.
Now it's time we return the favor.
When the attacks go down,
suspicion will eventually fall on him.
We're gonna get him out
of the country first.
"E" and "e," that is your specialty.
That is correct.
Well, that is what you're gonna do.
Who is he?
You'll recognize him.
What do you do when you see indians?
Be careful.
What do you do when
you don't see indians?
Be twice as careful. I hear you.
Betty blue, we have eyes on.
Bravo 3 is at your 9 o'clock.
Roger that. No movement down here.
Just a couple of kids on skateboards.
I saw that.
We're not getting a very
good look from inside here.
It's all quiet. You'd think there'd be
some activity by now, an
advance man or something.
No.
This is not right.
We should gas up for the trip.
I'll pump. You get some food?
Sure.
I should probably hit the head, too.
- You in there.
- Yeah. Occupied.
Take it easy!
What the hell? Let go!
All right! I'm coming!
God!
What the hell's wrong with you, man?
Do you have a cell phone?
- Take it. It's in my back pocket.
- Shut up and listen.
I don't have a lot of time.
I am a federal agent.
This is a phone number.
I need you to call it the
moment i walk out that door.
- These are all carolina license plates.
- All right.
You tell them that you got
this information from whiplash.
Whiplash. They'll put
you on a secure line,
and you give them this.
- You're a government agent?
- That's right,
and i need you to make that call.
Let's go.
Had to wait for this ***.
Still no movement in or out.
Bad intel?
No. I think we've been conned.
By drake or by sam?
Does it matter?
Let's break this down.
Bravo team, in the back.
Betty blue, dirt diver,
meet us out front.
Go for snake doc.
Operation's scrubbed.
You're looking at a decoy.
Is that so?
New intel. The meet's already taken place
somewhere outside of Louisville.
I understand.
We got 3 plate numbers and 3 cars,
and here it is.
Each is carrying a nuclear device.
- 3 bombs?
- That is affirmative.
Ok. We can be wheels up in 10.
Whiplash gonna lead us in?
Negative. Whiplash and
the bombs are in the wind.
We got 3 bombs in the wind?
That's right.
Remember when your mama
said it could be worse?
This is what she was talking about.
The Unit Team

Version 1.0
Episode 22
(Season final)
snake doctor, we have local
units in around louisville
tracking the vehicle tags.
Traffic cams and roadway surveillance
are now also operating
in surrounding states.
We're over 1-65 now.
Looking to put feet down fast.
Give me a target.
We're trying to get you one.
Interstates are shutting down.
Ok. That force them off
onto surface streets.
No. There are still too many
ways to slip out of this city.
Like snakes through a picket fence.
Yeah nogo (?)
Red cap, any other intel
on the third target?
Negative. Whiplash was only able
to give us 2 out of the 3 cities,
st. Louis and Dallas.
Roger that. St. Louis and Dallas only.
We'll get you our sitrep when we land.
Dallas?
I know. Your children are in dallas.
Yeah, that's right.
Kim's parents.
There's a lot of people in Dallas.
Kim, which box do these linens go in?
Behind me.
Joss, you don't have to...
and miss the chance to
inventory your wardrobe?
I mean, look at this.
Oh, baby!
Keep it for your trousseau.
I don't think i could squeeze into
that thing after my third baby.
Please. You're gorgeous.
Never thought i'd be happy to see
fort griffith again.
Things change.
You think they'll have us in
the same neighborhood, molly?
I really don't know.
Well, if they end up kicking
charlie out of the unit
for marrying me, i'd at
least like the royal tour.
Would you do me the honors, molly?
I'd like to, joss, but
that won't be possible.
Why?
I won't be coming back to fort griffith.
I don't understand.
I'm leaving the army.
But you and jonas...
you're splitting up?
I asked him to go with me.
Well, wouldn't that
sort of be an ultimatum?
No. It's calling in a debt.
When i wanted to leave mack,
you talked me out of it.
That's right.
But?
Jonas intends to live and fight forever.
This soldier's story's over.
I'm stunned.
I really am stunned.
Well...
that's not my intention.
How do we stop these bombs?
Sir, i the last hour, my team has
hit the ground and fanned out.
We're attempting to track the vehicles
as they reach their destination.
I don't understand what that means...
you're attempting to track them?
do you have local law
enforcement cooperation?
Yes, we do, mr. President.
What about using the news media
or amber alerts?
If the notify the public,
then the terrorists know we're onto them.
Wouldn't want to give them a reason
to alter their plan as we know it.
A reason to panic and
detonate right then?
We want to hit them before they know
the fight has begun.
Yes. This is high-stakes poker.
High-stakes poker, yes.
You play the cards you're dealt.
No. You play the player.
We don't know who that is yet.
Get homeland security in here.
Sir, if in the next few hours
we don't have them in our sights...
in the next few hours, we may be at war
with Russia.
Sir, word from moscow.
They're denying any involvement,
and they're denying it's their uranium.
So it may be theirs but in the hands
of others now?
- Who did control it?
- A former kgb officer.
- What's is name?
- Armen Kochenko.
And how do we find him?
We snatched him at grand central station
in New York an hour ago
waiting to board a train. He'll be
on the ground at edwards in 90 minutes.
Then i want you talking to him.
Yes, mr. President.
To i make the extent
of my request clear?
Yes, sir, you do.
All right, guys.
Anderson county sheriff confirms
that the vehicle with matching plates
is headed north on the u.s. 127.
Picked up at the
lawrenceburg toll booth.
Dirt diver and betty blue will intercept
at Taylorsville.
All right. I'm getting a second hit now
on the 18 crossing northeast
into west Virginia.
Must be headed to Philadelphia
or New York.
Picking up the coordinates now.
If snake doctor heads east
and gets off at blackburn,
he can get in front of him and fishhook.
How much farther?
- About 4 klicks.
- Two-lane?
Hold on.
Look for high ground.
I'm searching.
Give me something.
- Trestle bridge.
- That will do.
He's passing beckley now.
Local units setting up road blocks.
No. Call them off!
Call off the helos, too.
- We can tie him off at covington exit.
- Call off all pursuit.
I want him to think he's got daylight.
Roger.
Tallyho!
You know, coming this way
doesn't get him to Texas.
Well, wherever he's headed,
he's about to get slowed down.
Unless he's a suicide bomber.
Maybe they all are.
Call your family.
Get them out of dallas.
That... that violates
some protocol, top.
Not if it's an order.
Is it an order?
It is.
Is it a lawful order?
Call your family.
You have a danger code word?
Yes, i do.
Use it.
He's coming up the
block now, blue suzuki.
God bless you.
Tags match.
Nice and easy.
Please do not move.
It's here.
Listen.I need you to call your parents.
Tell them to put the kids in the car...
- in the car ?
- Kim, listen to me.
Tell them to head west
and that you'll meet them.
Wait. Meet them where?
- What are you talking about?
- Alas babylon.
Did you hear me?
"Alas babylon." I understand.
Just have them drive as fast and as far
as they can out of state.
I understand.
Get them out of texas right now.
I got to go.
Tried to take him alive.
Detonator?
No. It's not on him.
His target's Philadelphia.
Not anymore.
Give me a hand with this.
Careful.
Scratch st. Louis off the target list.
Basic gun-type construction,
high explosive at one end.
Uranium core at the other end,
but which is which?
That's a good question.
Too many wires.
Some decoys, some *** traps.
It's rigged.
Ok. Talk me through.
All right. Betty blue,
give us the play by play.
We'll...we'll do it together.
Tell jonas to feel underneath
the cylinder for a device.
Here's the pressure that you want...
as if he's poking
around a throbbing tooth,
- you understand?
- Careful.
See something that
looks like a bluetooth.
Exactly. That's the
trigger for the detonator.
It could be detonated by a cell phone.
- Is this thing hot?
- No way to tell till we open it.
We should move all
these folks back a ways.
Save your strength. No
matter how far they go,
it won't make a difference.
This for our highly placed friend?
It's an exit strategy.
So where are we sending
the lucky ***?
Lovely caracas. Que bueno.
There's one in there for you, too.
To venezuela?
The phrase you're looking
for is "thank you."
Thank you.
- Not answering.
- Who's not answering?
Other two cars. Where
the hell is everybody?
- Something happen to them?
- Hey. You hear from the others?
All right. Look. Uh, we have a problem.
They may be locked on to you.
New plan.
Ok. Uh, we're looking at a green wire
- that connects to a digital timer.
- No. That's redundant. It's a dummy.
- Cut it away.
- You sure?
Cut it and see.
All right. Hold on. Stand by.
All right. We're good.
Hold that.
Ok. Cool breeze, have top
look for a heavily shielded wire
beneath the right side. Mine's yellow.
- Does mine have to be yellow?
- No.
I have white one, heavily shielded.
Ok. Look, brothers. This
cut ought to be the one.
I'm gonna keep talking as i go.
If my comm. Suddenly goes dead,
tell snake doc to cut
the black wire instead.
We're gonna be fine.
I charles louis grey take you
joss morgan to be my
lawfully wedded wife.
In the presence of god,
my family, and friends,
i offer you my solemn vow
to be your faithful partner
in sickness and in health,
in good times and bad...
till death do us part.
Buddy, if she won't marry you, i will.
Make the cut.
- Pager 5.
- Yeah.
What?
- Isotope isn't weapons grade.
- It's not uranium?
Not u-235.
Check betty blue's.
Betty blue, we... we got a
dummy nuke. What's your readout?
- Negative.
- Both are fakes?
Isn't that clever? 3 suitcases,
2 of the mare dummies.
Yeah. The third one,
It's a magic prise.
Right now, there's a nuclear device
being driven toward dallas, texas.
- Call it off.
- Whom exactly do you expect me to call?
Leon drake, his men, or the
*** you're working for.
- I am retired, but you know that.
- There's a hell of a lot of former kgbs
like yourself peddling
nukes for their 401(k)s.
Better than the stock market.
- Call it off.
- Even if what you're saying is correct,
i don't control drake or his people.
- I'm a blissfully ignorant middle man.
- But you can lead us to him.
In exchange for freedom,
i could try to help.
I'm not authorized to make that deal.
Of course not. You're not
authorized to make a deal.
That's correct.
Then i suggest you take my
offer to the real power quickly.
- Tags match.
- Yeah. The engine's still warm.
Must have switched vehicles,
which means he knows we took down
the other two cars, which means
he's been in contact with
drake and that he knows.
- Pass the word to snake doc?
- Yeah. When he touched down in d.c.
Car's empty.
He's not getting far with
a 70-pound duffle bag.
- He might have hitched.
- There's not much traffic out here.
Sir, we got a call in. There's
been an incident up the road a ways.
I don't like the sound of this already.
Carjacked.
Double tap to the chest,
no signs of struggle.
Yeah. Not much of a fair fight.
Witness inside said she saw a man with
a large duffle wandering the parking lot.
Run his license, get
a make on his vehicle,
see if anybody saw which way he went.
You know which way.
He's going to dallas.
How sick is he?
Well, can't you get one
of the neighbors to help?
No, mom. I cannot explain,
but you and the kids need
to get out of there now.
All right. I'll call
you back in 10 minutes.
- He's too sick to travel.
- Your father?
Even if he could, my mom says the
interstate's closed in the area.
Well, they've closed the dallas-fort worth
airport. They've grounded all planes in or out.
If they're shutting down
the airports, it must mean...
i know what it means.
- I have to get my kids.
- Ok. Listen.
If i high-tail it now to van
nuys airport, i can get a lear 35,
make it to dallas and back in 5 hours.
- Who's gonna fly it?
- I'll fly it.
If there is a threat, you can't
go flying into the middle of it.
Yes, i can. Call your parents.
Tell them to get ready.
Joss, they've closed the airports.
Well, then i'll have to use my own.
All right. Your deal's approved,
but only after we get drake
and only if we stop the
remaining bomb from detonating.
- Then we go.
- This is my best man.
- Now where do we find drake and the bomb?
- I must go with you. If i'm not there,
drake won't show.
I don't believe that's how this
mission is going to proceed.
You tell us the location,
we'll decide who goes with.
We have to hurry. If you don't
have me on a plane out of here
within the hour, you will
miss him and lose your bomb.
- Where is it?
- You have a quick temper.
I have a quick temper and
the unofficial authorization
to kill you if you don't
tell me where that bomb is!
You are quick to lose your temper. That's
one of the many things your file says.
- My file, huh?
- The one back in russia.
You think someone in your
position doesn't have a file?
You drink too much, you've made
mistakes, you've had failures.
- What do you know about my failures?
- I know they led to the events of today.
- How's that?
- Venezuela.
Venezuela?
You had a mission to
assassinate president ortiz.
- What?
- Colonel, word travels.
Your mission had flaws, your men failed,
and worst of all,
they showed their hand.
President ortiz was displeased.
- President ortiz?
- Who do you think paid for the uranium?
Who do you think contracted
drake to kill your vice president?
That madman from venezuela.
You understand we're
just two men talking.
Of course if you had
succeeded in killing him,
your country wouldn't
be in this position.
Now get me on that airplane,
or you're about to
lose one of your cities.
Alpha team touched down
in sherwood. En route now.
Fbi out of little rock is reporting the
vehicle belonging to the carjack victim
is entering route 67.
Betty blue, local units
clearing the highway now.
- All right. Give it to me.
- Up ahead, hard right onto wildwood.
Think i can take him
out with a pit maneuver?
Last resort. You don't
want to upset the package.
He's heading towards downtown.
Yeah, yeah. We're pushing
it, we're pushing it.
That's him up ahead.
Yeah, that's right. Come on. Go for it.
- He spotted us.
- Detonates in the city...
yeah. I know, i know.
Get me a little closer.
- Steady.
- Take him out!
Might upset the cart.
Then we've all had it.
A lot worse if it happens downtown.
You are one altruistic son of a ***.
He's coming up on the right.
Steady. Steady!
Steady!
Here it comes!
Well, no mushroom cloud.
3 cars down, no nukes.
????
- Do you have the plane ready?
- Yeah, it's ready.
- Question first.
- You don't have time for questions.
You were picked up at
grand central station.
Yes. With a ticket to
chicago in your pocket.
- That is also correct.
- So here's my question.
Why'd you get to the station 3
hours before your train departed?
Because i did not want to miss my train.
Are you going to let a nuclear
bomb explode in your country
as this man satisfies his curiosity?
You know, your concern for our
country's safety is touching,
but i think the ticket
to chicago's crap.
- Where were you really headed?
- You would do well to listen to me.
- Your country is in danger.
- We have new intel
that the bomb is intended
for boston. We don't need you.
You don't know where in boston.
Fly me there, and might
still be able to stop it.
There is no new intel
about boston. You're lying.
The nuke is headed here
to washington, isn't it?
The one thing you are desperate
for is to get out of here.
We're in a blast zone, aren't we?
Red cap, cancel the plane.
We won't be needing it.
You are going to lose millions of
lives if you don't get me on that plane.
No. I think you're gonna lose yours
right along with the rest of us.
- Come on!
- Where are you taking him?
We're going for a picnic out on the
mall, nice view of the d.c. Skyline.
Me and him, we're gonna
ride out this storm together.
Yes, you're right! The bomb
is coming here to washington.
- When?
- Soon.
May be already here.
I was to meet him, leave
the country with him.
Who? Leon drake.
Yes.
Meet him where?
Your friend not here?
I think the tomb of the unknowns
is around here somewhere.
Any hints on who we might be waiting on?
Someone once said...
who was it...
"during wartime,
truth is so precious "that
she should always be attended
by a bodyguard of lies."
I believe it was churchill
who said it on d-day.
Very impressive.
Thanks.
Well, i haven't saved us yet.
The bomb's here somewhere.
What about the other 3
cars? Decoys, all of them.
Drake said we were here to
meet his mole, his insider.
There is no mole. He was gonna kill
you and make you look responsible.
There's no bomb in the car.
It's here somewhere where
drake could get at it.
It's not in the car...
- it's a part of the car.
- This a ground zero.
There's nothing on the news about
an incident or attack in texas.
Why hasn't joss called?
She probably left your
parents' a little while ago.
Maybe they're back in the air already.
- Maybe molly has it right.
- Look. We've been here before.
Exactly, and we'll be here again.
We keep letting the army push us
around the board like checkers.
You see your kids, and this
feeling will just fade away.
No, it won't, tiffy.
Say it. Whatever's
bothering you, just say it.
Since bob and i joined the
unit, one thing gave me comfort.
- Do you know what that is?
- No.
If molly and jonas could
make it, so could bob and me,
and now she's gone and said out loud
the one thing we do
not ask your husbands.
You tell me what that is.
Which do you love more, the job or me?
That's right.
- Find anything?
- Not yet.
The others were 70-pound cylinder...
the drive shaft.
- Fresh welding.
- Any trigger device?
The other 3 were
bluetooth, call-activated.
Drake's cell. He dialed someone before.
- He's already activated it.
- The clock's ticking.
He would have given himself enough
time to get out of the blast range.
No way to know how much
time that gives ups.
Time to earn our pay.
Listen, top, if the bomb
is in the drive shaft,
it's gonna be the same gun-type design,
the target at one end and the
uranium bullet at the other.
- What about the detonator?
- No time.
Your only choice is to
cut the cylinder in half.
- The drive shaft?
- Yeah. Break the shaft in the middle.
Keep the bullet from
hitting the uranium core.
It won't disarm the bomb, but it
will keep it from going nuclear.
I've got nothing that will cut steel.
I got it.
Ok. You're gonna have to
get under that car somehow.
You're gonna have to jack it up.
Well, we've come to the
right place. Hold one.
Light.
Betty blue, we're a go.
Jonas, before you do it, know this.
Once you make that first cut, you're
gonna be exposed to the radiation.
- How much?
- 90 seconds.
90 seconds. Any more than
that, and the radiation will...
i get it. Don't want
to dig my own grave.
????
- 30 seconds gone.
- Almost there!
Come on, come on!
Saw's caught in the cut.
Punch it! 50 seconds gone!
Brake's slipping!
Car's gonna fall on you!
Sam, i can't get out!
The radiation... get out of here.
You first!
Snake doc here.
It's done. It's over.
The bomb has been neutralized.
37th fighter wing
confirms, mr. President.
Scrambled a squadron
of b-2s out of panama.
They'll be over caracas in an hour.
We'll seen then if our
friend in venezuela owns up.
- Sir, if you want my team...
- thank you, sergeant major.
We've got it covered here.
We're also getting further
intel from the russians.
Mr. President, kochenko
was right about one thing.
- The assassination attempt.
- Yes, sir.
God knows what else i've
inherited i don't know about yet.
- Sir, any responsibility...
- yes. I understand.
Sergeant major,
your country appreciates
all you've done.
Thank you, mr. President.
You still got something you
need to sort out, sergeant major?
- You know where i stand, colonel.
- There ain't a pulpit big enough...
you lied to us, and that cannot pass.
That lie saved you, me, and a hell of
a lot of people, so what's that make me?
A brigadier general.
Do you think i'm not
fit to command the unit?
You know it, the russians know it.
Sometimes, the man looking in the
mirror's the last one to know it.
