- It's funny, captain.

Wars come and go,

but my soldiers stay eternal.

I like that. Who said it?

- Jefferson? Patton?

- Tupac.

All right, X, this is a covert op.

Full stealth, total silence.

You're gonna wanna be

real delicate here.

Subtle.

Very subtle.

This is sector 14.

We got an attack, topside.

You two, hold the floor.

Everybody else, follow me.

All right, X, you got three minutes.

X, Gibbons' office is

northwest corner, sector four.

Hey! Wait!

X, main room.

Remove the first of three drives

facing you.

There's nobody here.

Yeah, except for all of us.

It wasn't an attack,

it was a diversion.

All right, X, they're coming

back down. You gotta go. Now.

Lock this place down.

I want him in hand, alive.

College boy, I'm cut off.

Get me out of here.

Okay, X. Boat dock,

quarter mile, dead ahead.

I want that truck.

Block every road

in a 10-mile radius.

Everybody okay?

Blows up my car,

he blows up my boats.

Who the hell is this guy?

All right, college boy,

I'm headed upstream.

X, got a little bit of a problem here.

This is the police.

Goddamn!

All you had to do was drive.

You know what, X?

I'm really starting to miss the old XXX.

Stop your vehicle now.

Okay, I see you.

Hey, get your ass

out the driver's seat.

Mission accomplished.

Darius Stone. Born south side, D.C.

Mother died young, father raised him.

Not much to report till '88.

His dad was killed by a stray bullet

in a 211, and Darius went off the grid.

Started with graffiti,

reckless driving.

Quickly worked his way up to

grand-theft auto and resisting arrest.

Took him some time

to find his calling in the Navy.

Specifically, the Navy SEALs.

Trained sniper, top scores.

Urban recon, demolition.

The highest dive in Navy history,

Augustus Gibbons recruited him

into an elite unit, Level 5 Classified.

Ran ops in Eastern Europe

till Christmas in Kosovo.

Their general ordered them to set a fire

to clear civilians, but Stone refused.

Led a mutiny against

a four-star general...

...the current secretary of defence,

George Deckert...

...who had him court-martialed

for a 20-year term.

Ten for disobeying direct orders...

...and another 10 for breaking

the general's jaw.

This is the last footage

we have on him.

A meeting with his lawyer,

Jonathan Edward Cochran.

Oh, that's cute.

Johnnie Cochran.

I don't think Mr. Stone can afford

Johnnie's fee. Do we have audio?

It's attorney-client. No mikes.

Hold it there. Okay, reel it back.

Back, back, back.

Freeze it. Blow it up.

Gibbons and Stone

on a comeback tour.

All right, listen up. I want all eyes

up and running on these two.

And I want hard 20s

on the rest of their old unit.
