They were pretty well organized, sir.

It was like a military operation.

- All right, Sergeant, you can go.

- Thank you.

I don't need to remind you that anything

about this incident is classified.

Yes, sir.

I'm curious, Sergeant,

why you didn't search their backpacks.

We tried to, sir.

The Berlin Police, they took over.

My standing orders were to hand over

the command to them in their territory.

So these terrorists dressed

as Berlin Police convinced you?

Excuse me, sir.

They were real cops.

Berlin Police has no record

of any detachment in that area...

during the time of the shooting.

If they weren't cops, sir, they had

a lot of help. They had the uniforms...

You're expert on Berlin police?

- Is that all, sir?

- For now, yes. Thank you, Sergeant.

You were with the Iran Delta

operation, correct?

The aborted rescue attempt.

Yes, sir.

Well, Sergeant, I find it interesting

that you are twice now involved...

in a situation where a degree of

negligence has resulted in a loss of...

I don't recall seeing you on that

Iranian desert that night, Colonel.

We were there, Sergeant.

We were in the city.

We were waiting.

Tehran.

Sundown Unit.

What's funny, Sergeant?

I've been doing this for 25 years, and

every time I meet one of you people...

covert ops, infiltrators...

I get this real bad feeling

in my guts.

I guess that's what you bring

to the party, though, right, sir?

What I bring to the party,

Sergeant...

is competence.

There was no negligence

in those woods today, sir.

If you'll come out of the shadows long

enough to press charges against me...

I'd be glad to defend myself.

That won't be necessary, Sergeant.

That'll be all.

Yes, sir.

He's a good soldier, Colonel, and he

lost a fine boy up on that road today.

I don't quite understand

your attitude on this.

I think he f***ed up, Colonel.

I think he f***ed up.

That's my attitude.

On your feet!

Sorry to have to reach out

like that for you, Sergeant.

You're gonna be a hero in your hometown.

You're going to Chicago.

I am, sir? Doing what?

We believe Soviet Intelligence is

operating within a neo-Nazi group there.

We want you in that group to find out

what the Soviets are up to.

Yes, sir.

We believe that they plan to assassinate

the president of the United States.

Jesus.

I can handle it, sir.

We know you can, Sergeant.

We know you can.

Attention!

- Hey, Gallagher!

- What do you want?

I been looking all over for you.

You got orders sending you stateside.

- What are you talking about?

- You're taking back a package.

Some sergeant keeps sluggin' officers.

They want him tomorrow.

What the hell's goin' on?

Somebody's yankin' your chain,
