Previously on "the unit"...
there's a man living in this community
they believe might have been involved
in the planning of the attacks last month.
- Who is he?
- Elliot gillum. His wife's named susan.
Molly, i'll be sober
10 years next month.
When a mission is over, put it down,
and this mission is over.
Betty blue, who the hell is this girl?
You know how your mother
always said you'll just ow?
- Yes, i see.
- I'm gonna marry her.
Everything that you have told her and me
has been a lie.
I would like to talk to joss.
Get the hell out of here.
Two minutes to lz.
Whiplash, run it down.
Anticipate...
10 minutes for the scoop and run,
you and dirt diver,
me and cool breeze at the bird.
Hot exfil when we get the package.
What the hell?
Hydraulic failure. Mack.
Look. We're getting shot up. I'm gonna
come around, try to get back to my heading.
Can you get us to the lz?
I'm aiming for it, top.
I just want to find it feet first.
We've cleared the shooters.
60 feet touchdown.
All right. We're here.
Good flying.
Thanks. That's a great
skill set to have?
All right. Give me a damage
assessment as soon as you can.
Mack, you stay with him.
Me and whiplash will get the package.
Let's move.
He's a friendly.
Cruz ever go anywhere without you Berto?
- Not for the last 20 years.
- You been taking fire?
Last few hours. Sniper
keeps popping out.
We can't seem to catch him.
Follow me.
All right. Well, i got two problems.
Servo sprung a leak.
Hydraulic stabilizer took a couple
of rounds, shattered some plastic,
and we can't fly without it,
so we're grounded
till we nurse this bird back to health.
- What do you need?
Well, welding torch i got
inside the bird to fix the servo.
The glue i need to fix the stabilizer,
that's what i don't got.
I'll let snake doc know.
You need someone to help your friends
at the helo, sergeant major Blane?
No. Got it handled. Thank you, teo.
You remember me?
You were 11. Aside from the
hair on your face... heh heh...
you haven't changed much.
If i didn't see you, i'd
know you by your voice.
Cruz, can you hear me?
As my son said...
your voice is unmistakable.
We're gonna get you out of here.
Just give me the
controls to your chopper.
I'll fly us all out of here.
Hell, no. My boots
scraped too many treetops
with you flying me around
in those godforsaken things.
I've got to get out of here.
Your country needs you, yes,
but i got selfish reasons
for wanting you out of here.
I put in too many months
training you to bury you.
How many are here for the evacuation?
We are 4.
One helicopter and 4 men?
4 is more than enough.
Any more, we'd just be
standing around looking busy.
And this mission was
supposed to be a secret.
- What happened then?
- They started shooting at us.
You came over the
mountains from the north?
We made good time till this morning,
till my father was shot.
Confirm for me...
optimal egress is south.
Yes, south, but time is of the essence.
Hey. We're here. We're
working hard and fast
to get our bird airworthy.
We're not the enemy, son.
That would be igor sikorsky.
No. You haven't changed very much.
You're outspoken, and you're brave,
much like your father.
And we will get him out.
Never made glue before.
- What does he need?
- Surgery as soon as possible.
The bullet went into his abdomen.
He's bleeding internally.
Can you keep him stable
for another hour or so
till my men fix the chopper?
His blood pressure is dropping.
I need iv fluids.
Get him bangaged up and ready to go.
We can exfil at any moment.
- We'll make a litter.
- Won't need to. Time comes,
get men on all sides,
i'll kick out the legs.
I'm sorry, Jonas.
I... i got old.
Everybody gets old, brother.
Everybody gets old except the dead.
An unacceptable solution.

Episode 17 - Flesh and Blood
We're taking fire.
I need a sitrep. What do you see?
I don't see a convoy or battalion.
Shots skidded right by.
I bet my next paycheck
we got ourselves a sniper.
Glue's watery, top. I
need something like alum.
Hey, top. I finished the servo.
All i need now is the
glue for the stabilizer.
Sooner we get it, the better.
That thing's gonna take a while to dry.
Hell of a landing.
Yeah, thanks. My daddy always told me
landing aircraft's like having sex.
You got to be able to walk away from it.
Pablo morenadas.
Top, we got a little buddy
morenadas, mata scout.
Hold one. Morenadas?
sí.
That's affirmative, dirt diver.
What did you see?
The enemy.
They're coming from here.
Top, we got a fair fix on
the time for a morenadas.
He said he saw about 40, 50 soldiers
moving alongside a creek bed.
How far out?
6, 7 klicks, mack.
You think you can rig her sweet enough
to fly without the glue?
I don't think so, lucy.
Well, we'll get you
what we can rikki-tik
because it appears we
don't got a lot of time.
Son of a...
- what's wrong?
- I can cook you up chicken and biscuits,
but i can't get this
the right consistency.
You got any salt, baking soda?
Give it to whiplash.
Potassium and sodium...
as close to alum as we'll get.
Should thicken up your stew.
Look. Now they're on their way,
but they don't know where
we are unless we tell them,
so get a message to your men.
Tell them to hold their fire
until those guys are
sucking on their barrels.
The terrain is rocky and steep.
We can't walk him how, and
the opposition's on their way.
Ticktock, doc. We got
to do the operation now.
It's not sterile.
I only have local anesthetic. Its...
well, it looks like the mayo clinic now.
You strong enough to take this?
We'll see, eh?
We can't operate under these conditions.
Teo, i'd be scared, too,
if my dad was laying there,
but somewhere outside
is a very dedicated fella
with a gun and a grievance.
3/4 of an hour out, a
death squad's on its way,
and it's your daddy they're looking for.
Several hundred feet way
is a chopper ain't moving
without epoxy.
Now you tell me...
am i making the right choice?
Do it.
And who might you be?
The gentleman works for me.
- How'd you find me?
- Why have you been hiding?
I went to see you. I got turned away.
You can go.
Well,
i know who i am.
Who are you?
All right.
I need to talk to you.
All right.
You need to talk to me?
- Where's the smile?
- What's the smile say?
The smile says, "i'm
happy to see you, Joss.
I've missed you."
I am happy to see you...
and i have missed you.
Well, i've missed you, too,
but i had to look for you.
Why have you been hiding?
Was it what carson did?
- He was just trying to protect you.
- So what's the matter?
- It just isn't gonna work.
- Why? Why isn't it gonna work?
Will you tell me?
All right.
All right.
It's so good of you to come.
I live here, too.
It's all so awful.
These people.
I mean, everyone i scared and sad
since the chlorine attack.
Everything... i mean,
it happened so fast.
The chlorine came out of nowhere.
I swear i can still taste it
on the back of my throat.
I don't know what to do.
I can't sleep, i don't want to eat.
I didn't know the people
who died personally.
I came to pay my respects
to their families,
but you knew them all, didn't you?
Champagne?
You don't want to do that.
Excuse me.
Maybe i do.
Look at me. You're 10 years sober.
You want to sabotage yourself now?
What difference does it make?
People are dying. The
world is upside down.
My husband abandoned me.
I'm so sorry.
It was the day before the attack.
He was just gone.
It was like he knew that
something bad was gonna happen
and he left me to face it alone.
There could be other explanations.
Right and all the people that died
will walk through the door in 5 minutes
and tell us it was all a joke.
Even if it were true,
it's not worth throwing
away your sobriety.
I need you to promise me
you will not take a drink
tonight, not tonight,
and tomorrow, we will
deal with it together.
Now promise me.
What are you doing here?
How's mrs. Gillum?
What's this about, colonel?
Before the chlorine attack,
your friend's husband took off.
You think he was part of the conspiracy?
- What does she think?
- She doesn't know anything.
We need to know two things...
where he is and if
his wife was involved.
My opinion, she's not.
That's comforting,
but we need certainty.
And you want me to
supply this certainty?
Yes, ma'am, that's correct.
- How?
- Get close to her.
I am close to her.
Get closer to her.
How?
Get her drinking if necessary.
I won't do that.
If you don't do it,
it will still be done.
By someone else.
20 questions.
Question one,
do you love me?
Yes, i do.
Good answer.
Question two, if you love me...
Wait. 20 questions
isn't played with qualifiers.
"If" is a qualifier.
All right.
Question two,
do you have some secret
you're afraid to tell me?
- Yes.
- All right.
- Is it shameful?
- No.
Then will you marry me?
You don't even know my secret.
All right, then. Tell it to me.
- I'm not who i seem to be.
- Who is?
All right. I know who you seem to be.
Who are you really?
I'm in the military.
Sergeant first class charles grey.
- And that's your real name?
- Yes.
All right.
- I gave you an alias.
- I understand.
You want to know why i
gave you a false name?
All right.
I'll tell you.
Look. The...area
of the military i'm in
is special forces.
By that, i mean, i'm in the military,
but the military i'm in
does not officially exist.
Well, you would have
to tell me that sometime
when we had kids and all.
Look. I...
I'm listening.
The staff will see to that.
Well, i'm just keeping busy.
Mrs. Gillum, i'm Phil Paxton.
I had occasion through your husband
the opportunity to work with
a few of the people affected.
I just came by to pay my respects.
Thanks for coming.
It's hard to think
things are so permanent
and then realize that nothing is.
Makes one feel vulnerable,
as i suppose we all are.
Do you know what i mean?
Yes, yes, i do.
Perhaps we could talk.
I'd like to talk.
Can i buy you a drink?
I shouldn't... i shouldn't drink.
Will you sit with me while i have one?
Look at that.
Thick as generals in the air force.
Get it to your friends.
Too much blood. I can't see the field.
- How can i help?
- Pick up gauze using the forceps.
Put it where i tell
you to to soak up blood,
and when it's saturated, start again.
Glue... man's best friend.
Man's best friend's a dog.
Well, then i stand corrected.
Taking plunging fire.
Looks like our rifle-loving buddy
found himself a nice little
spot in a tree somewhere.
Guy climbed up. He's got
to stay there or climb down.
Ain't got wings. Let's hunt him down.
I climbed trees as a kid.
Well, i hope you
remember your technique.
All prayers welcome here.
My definition of a helicopter's
6 million separate pieces
flying in an unstable formation.
I hate them like the plague.
Come on. Think positive.
Ok. I positively hate
them like the plague.
Found it.
It's the superior
mesenteric artery. I think...
a pathfinder marking the route.
Probably working with the sniper.
Main body ain't here yet.
Eliminate that sniper now.
He's been shot.
The doctor... is he ok?
Dirt diver, i'm at
your 11, 100 meters out.
I think i might know where
our pesky amigo is at.
Give me suppressing cover fire.
This is damn bloody.
I need a clear view.
All right. Give me another.
There you go. You know what?
I'm gonna clamp this right now.
- You're not.
Somebody's got to tie off this artery.
Do you know how?
For a friend, i'll learn.
You're gonna kill him.
Being a ranger, you learn
a bit about medicine...
putting pressure on a wound,
stitching a cut,
sinking an iv,
but you know what the trick is?
Staying calm.
Problem ain't a problem
until you encounter it.
Your father's wide awake over here.
Bet you he'd profit by a friendly face.
A doctor is just a guy in a white coat.
Hey. This doesn't start drying faster,
you might have to take off with
me biting the tail together.
Don't lose your head over
a little piece of tail?
- Who said that?
- Benjamin franklin.
- I hear he was a ladies man.
- He appreciated a nicely turned ankle.
- Can you get this thing to fly?
- Yes,
but i might need the magic feather.
Cruz wants a drink.
Pain and stress must
have made him nauseous.
Tiny sips only.
I joined the army, and all i got was
this crummy, little sniper.
- Explain your action.
- I shot him in the ***.
- In the ***?
- For general purposes.
I brought him in because i
figured he might be of use.
Not unless he has an inflatable
cessna stashed out there.
Well, ok then.
Nice going, soldier.
He'll know exactly how far away
the soldiers are, how much time we have
Make him radio his men,
make him ask, tell them to retreat.
Ok. My man got him to cease
his shooting. That's the first step.
The second is if the radio even works.
See what you can dredge up.
- I speak english.
- Good for you.
Now where are your buddies,
and how soon will they be here?
- I don't know.
- Is that an actual fact?
That's mata, yes?
- Is he dead?
- No.
He...is...not.
That's the last question you get to ask.
How far out are your friends?
They are wherever they
need to be to kill him.
He wants my father dead!
I tell you what.
You could bring a man to his knees,
you could pull off his fingernails,
you could leave him screaming in pain,
and he will, i assure you, talk,
but will he tell you the truth
or what he thinks you want to hear?
Will he in agony swear on his mother
that the troops are 30 klicks out
when they are only 5
just so you'll stop the pain?
I got 3 things to teach...
simplicity, patience, and compassion.
- These are your greatest treasures.
- Who said that?
Lao tzu said it, but i learned it
from your father.
I got a band with chatter about mata
and men in a helo.
There's a call out
for nasario's position.
Well, let's give it to them then.
You know what the one
problem with this is?
What?
Can't do the math on
how fast they're walking,
how much ground they're covering,
so their eta of 15 minutes might be off.
- So what do we do?
- We accentuate the positive.
- Got to go to plan "b."
- What's plan "b"?
I'm working on it.
What's the matter? Did i...
- it's not my place to take advantage.
- You don't want me.
Don't confuse all men
for your husband, susan.
I'm not him.
- Right. Right.
- I'm not him.
You're a beautiful and desirable woman.
- But?
- But you've been hurt.
I know. I was married to donna for 6 years,
and that's not as
long as you and elliot,
but it's long enough to feel a gut punch
when she left me
- for another man.
- Weren't you mad?
Yeah, i was mad.
I was mad, and i was hurt.
It's still hard to talk about it.
Could i have a drink?
Uh, the day jen was born,
my husband wasn't there.
- Must have been hard.
- Hard, yes. Unexpected, no.
Hell, he didn't even know
about lissy's operation
- until 6 months after it happened.
- But had he been there in the meantime?
Sure, but the was training for a mission
when i planed the surgery,
and a distracted soldier is...
a dead soldier.
What, you can't talk
to them about anything?
Well, sure you can,
but got to pick and choose.
Spend half your time
trying to figure out.
"Should i tell him this,
"or should i keep it to myself?
"And if i don't tell
him and he finds out,
- will he be upset?"
- And it's lonely.
He'll be gone for 4
or 5 months at a time,
and when he leaves, i don't know if he's
coming home for dinner
- or the kids' birthdays or...
- or if he'll come home at all.
If he dies, god forbid,
it won't be a military funeral.
There may be no benefits.
You have to be off the base in 30 days.
There's absolutely no stability.
Ok, but you have your
friends, your houses.
Well, you don't get
to pick your friends.
You inherit them,
and they're mostly unit wives
because everything's secret but you
got to be able to talk to someone.
If you're lucky, you'll like them,
and if you're not...
you'll pretend to.
And the housing is military housing,
which is no great shakes.
Orders change at the drop of the hat.
You're going along,
your kids are in school, you're baking
cupcakes for the school play,
and then bam! You're gone.
New people, new schools, new rules.
Ok, but there's got to
be some kind of constant.
There is.
Tell her.
It's fear.
Fear that he won't come back,
fear that you will be
a single parent forever,
except that's what you are anyway.
Fear that he won't be
there if you're sick
or one of the kids is.
Fear you'll say the wrong
thing to the wrong person.
And as much as you're
used to being our own boss,
running your own life or house,
your life is not your own.
Your life's gonna be the army's.
And you're gonna have to
do without and ranger on.
And the point of all this...
you do not come first,
your children do not come first.
Their work comes first.
Well, if you knew all this at the start,
would you still do it again?
If i could do it again...
i can't say i would.
All right. She'll fly.
We'll be flat-hatting it,
- but i think she'll make it.
- Dirt diver, confirm.
Enemy will be here in approximately
15 minutes. I need you here.
On my way, top. Cool
breeze says to tell you we got wings.
- Roger that. Applause to follow.
- Wait 10, give her a kiss,
whomp her on the ***,
and tell her to fly.
Donna wanted a guy that would
walk over the next guy to get ahead,
ceo.
I'm just a salesman.
Elliot didn't want me either.
I tried, but he wanted someone...
he wanted someone more...
i don't know what he wanted.
I... i don't know why he didn't want me.
You sure he's not gonna come back here
and walk in on us?
No. He took everything
that was important to him.
He's gone.
He left behind the most important thing.
- No. You're not walking.
- I'm gonna piggyback you out.
- You can't use up all your strength.
- You ready?
Good to go.
We have time. Why can't we just
make a run for the helo?
I taught this to your father.
I'm gonna teach it to you.
I don't like the word "just.
It's like saying, "maybe,"
and i don't have any intention
of maybe making it to the chopper.
I want as close to a
guarantee as i can get,
and the master sergeant over
there's gonna obtain that for us.
The let me help him.
This is your mission, jonas.
What we got here are
grenades, claymores,
det-cord, tripwire.
We got to flank them, hit them,
- make them chase us.
- What do you need me to do?
You lay out the claymores,
i'll attach the tripwire,
- and you know what?
- What?
We got to do it fast.
Lay chilly.
We're taking fire!
You miss him now?
I don't know who you're talking about.
That's a good thing.
You, uh, you want to find him
and bring him home and
try to talk things out?
Well, what would he say...
"i was kidding"?
Good lawyer can make him
pay you for your hardship.
How? I mean, he emptied his bank accounts
dumped everything on his computer.
I mean, he didn't even
take his bags. I...
baby, i give a rat's ***
you're rich or you can keep me.
I got a job, i pay my own way,
but the man lied to you.
You deserve something.
Get a good detective, he could...
- I think...
- Go on.
I think he was dirty.
I think he did things,
bad things.
I'd ask him when he went away,
"where are you going and with who?"
He'd never tell me,
but he would come back,
and the tags on his luggage
would be from the strangest places.
Said the less i know, the better.
- What did you know?
- Well, i knew the business was a cover
but not for what.
I had everything i needed.
Big deal, huh? Big damn deal.
You know, i have some connections,
know some guys that can
have a little talk with him.
- You mean...
- Give him a stern lecture,
maybe give you some peace
if you know where he is.
I mean, what does it matter anyway?
I have you now.
I'm gonna take a shower.
You want to join me?
- Give me a minute.
- Ok. Don't be long.
Kayla, i'm leaving now.
I just e-mailed you some photos
of some luggage tags.
See if you can run
down the flights for me.
You know what?
You love your husband.
- No, i don't.
- Yes, you do.
But all we've had is strife.
Life is strife,
and you know what?
That's not all you've had.
- And you know what else?
- What?
- No.
- No what?
- I don't want to say it.
- Well, it's too late.
You love being the bad girl,
don't you?
I wanted to, i could
tell your life story.
- Oh. You know my life story?
- Yes, i do, and i wanted to,
i could tell you why it is that way.
Somebody in your family beat somebody.
- You want some more wine?
- Thank you.
And that is why you
married a man of violence,
but, but, but, but here's the kicker.
I'm gonna tell you the good news.
You still with me, tiff?
You married a man harnessed...
harnessed his violence.
Oh, well, he didn't always
harness his violence.
I know that, but it was a step for you
in the right direction because...
because look here.
- Whoever beat you...
- i didn't say somebody beat me.
A weaker woman would have turned around
and done the same thing.
She would have married...
She would have married, and
she would have hurt her kids.
But you, tiffy...
tiffy, what you did...
what you did is you protected your kids
and you beat yourself...
By cheating on mack because...
you love mack.
- No, i don't.
- Yes, you do,
and i'll tell you what the story is.
It's that old sunday school story
of the lame man and the blind man,
and they walked each
other down the road.
Oh, god. That's my marriage?
That's everybody's marriage.
- It's easy to blame the army.
- No!
If they weren't jumping out of planes,
they'd be chasing secretaries
or playing golf or something.
Everybody wants a change sometimes,
but the change is
happening all the time.
It's growing old. There's no woman in
the history of the world
who didn't say, "where
is that young woman,
and what have i done?" Sometimes.
Well, what about you?
- Me?
- Yes.
Uh, well, that's a
story for another day.
We're 50 meters out,
coming through the wire.
Tell mata's men hold their fire.
All right. The next movement you see
will be my man and teo,
so hold your fire. Let's go.
- Fuel tank'***!
- How fast she losing her fuel?
Too fast! If we get out there,
we might make it 3, 4 miles tops!
We have enough left to
get over the mountains?
- Cannot confirm.
- How many can she carry?
It's overcast with a heavy wind.
Acl will allow us 6, 6 max.
Leave me. Take my son and your men.
I'm slowing you all up.
You got to hustle!
Look. They're expecting
us to fly south to safety.
We can't get over the
mountains to the north,
and we got more opposition
to our east and west.
- No, no, no.
- Save my men, save my son.
- Are you sure?
- Yes, i'm sure.
- Are you strong enough?
- I am.
Cool breeze, get out.
Everyone fall back.
Dirt diver, you got point!
Fight hard!
Got a moment for an old soldier?
When i was training your father,
i asked him if he could
locate and disarm a land mine.
Being full of himself, as one gets,
he didn't hesitate to say, "of course."
So off we went to a vacant
lot known for land mines,
so i let him loose.
He picked his way through
the lot, came to a stop,
and he found one.
Standing right on top of it.
Took me an hour and
a half to get to him,
two hours to dig around
it, render it harmless,
and get him out.
He thanked me and said
i gave him his future.
That's what he did for
your country and you.
I want to kill the men who murdered him.
Can you teach me?
Yes. In fact, i can.
I'll pick you up at 11:00.
We'll go to a meeting.
- I want to hear you say it.
- I'll... i'll go to a meeting.
You need me, call right away.
- How is she?
- Why would you want to know?
I told you if you didn't get the
information from her somebody would.
10 years sober, and
you undid it in what?
4 hours.
She called me crazed.
Took me an hour to talk her down.
- She asked for the first drink.
- Did she now?
It's a fact.
You brought me into this.
Times of war, ms. Blane.
- Well, you know the rest.
- I know.
I just don't like it.
Believe it or not,
i wrestle with it, too.
Sometimes, i wonder what we're becoming.
You figure it out,
keep it to yourself.
My plane was fueled and ready to go,
and i was standing
right there on the tarmac ready
to run away from all this...
but can i come in?
Yeah, please. Come in.
I met your friends.
I heard what they had to say.
I feel like such a coward
for sending you to see them.
No. No. You were right.
They said some things you couldn't say.
Carson told me you came
up to propose to me.
- Yeah, that's right.
- What scared you off?
- He told me to leave.
- Well, sure.
He thought you were a fortune hunter.
You could have told him
who you were, couldn't you?
What scared you off?
We're from...
we're from such different
worlds, you know?
We're from two different worlds?
- You mean, i grew up wealthy.
- Yeah, i suppose.
Well, then you tell
me if you gauge people
on how much money they make.
- Do you?
- No.
When you're on a mission,
- do you think about money?
- No.
Well, that's all it means to be rich.
That's all it means.
Look. Carson said he
wanted to protect you.
Well, of course he did.
He loves me.
- You love me?
- Yes...
i do.
But look. I wanted to protect you, too.
Well, good
because that's what every
girl wants in a husband,
someone like you.
Don't you know that?
Don't you know that?
You have anything you
want to say to me, soldier?
Will you marry me?
It would be my pleasure and my honor.
