WOW!!! an american series that doesn't satanize arabs WOW!!!
Jonas, Mack and Bob are point in a security detachment for a govt. envoyee to assist to a tri-party talk at an Iranian embassy to discuss the aqcuisition of nuclear power plants. The CIA of course doesn't trust any one, not even Jonas's men, when they are tasked to place a bug on the Iranian ambassador, to keep a tap on his conversations.
On the "Home Front" Col Ryan, is making an example out of a Unit member's wife who apparently because of her big mouth, got some other Spec Forces troops killed. Ryan blames the death of all these soldiers of the soldiers wife, and dismisses the soldier from the Unit. He then gives the wives a speech on how because of talking too much they could get their husbands killed.
Jonas's and his crew arrive at the embassy, and talk are under way. Bob is in the last minute left outside guarding perimiter, because his passport, has way too many customs stamps from Israel, so the US Envoyee fearing a bad reaction from the Iranians tells Jonas to post him outisde. Inside Jonas sits and chats, in a very profesional way with the embassy's senior security officer, who offers him coffee, a cigar, and talks about "the good old days", emphazising their roles as soldiers and men of honour despite their religion or country.
Back at home Tiffy meets Col. Ryan at an old motel, Kim who's doing some shopping across the street sees this and becomes alarmed after that morning's speech about info containment. Ryan tell Tiffy that their affair has to end, but she can't do that, coz he's the only one who doesn't treat her as a "hobby". Later that evening a worried Kim she tells Col. Ryan about seeing Tiffy in a strange motel, Ryan tells her to keep it quiet, while he investigates.
Back at the mebassy Bob is outside also with another Iranian who happens to be a gentleman, who feels sorry that his own people made him stay outside because if his religion. After the Iranian officer outside catches eye of an open padlock, he rounds up security and begin a search, for intruders and suspisious devices, Bob had swiped his walkie, and placed it under the amabassador's car as a decoy, meanwhile he voluntereed to help with the search, he places the bug inside the car, then calls the officer and tells him about the "suspicious walkie" the Iranian security officer thanks him for saving from a sure embarrasment, and offers a persian dagger as a thanking gift. The talks are now over, and everyone is going home.
Back at home the base women are having a party, Kim uses the ocassion to tell Molly about Tiffy's odd behaviour, Molly putting a lid on the situation, tells her she goes there to see "a lady friend who is abused by her husband", and that the motel gives her the cover to keep it from the abussing husband. After this Molly goes ballistic on Tiffy, about how she lied about ending her affair with the Col. she says she'll do it tonight. Later that evening Tiffy's on the phone with Molly telling her that she's done it, it's over, she hangs up, the doorbell rings, it's the Col.
I really like dthe epi bacuase it showed that not every arab is a bomb-strapped-terrorist, specially Jonas and Bob's counterparts, who actually where very polite to them, unlike them who were really out on a spying mission. Great episode, I’m liking this series everyday a lot more .moreless
The Unit must try to get a listening device to an agent inside the Iranian embassy where U.S., Iranian, and Russian diplomats are meeting. Many are speculating that the Russians are attempting to sell the Iranians material to make a nuclear weapon. Meanwhile at the base, Tom tries to end his affair with Tiffy but she won't listen to him and Kim notices Tiffy at a motel room and does not know what she should do.moreless
