Three Excellent Stories

This was an excellent episode with some memorable finishes.

The Unit is in Jerusalem where they are being quizzed on how to combat a suicide bombing attack on Washington. The clue to figuring out "the answer" is to study ancient history. Bob, the college grad, leads the study by examining an old Roman military situation. It actually gets a little complicated but is somewhat interesting.

The suspenseful part involves "Mr. White," who is really Unit member "Charles Grey" (Michael Irby) who was off on a sexual escapade with a gorgeous Israeli agent out in some ancient ruins. Unfortunately for those two, they wind up being interrupted by terrorist bombers who are going to blow up a school bus full of kids the following morning. How do they stay undetected and then stop these guys? That's the main part of this episode.

In a third story, back at the base, Tiffy and her daughter accidentally wind up in possession of a very rare coin worth thousands and thousands of dollars. They have a bit of moral dilemma as to whom the coin really belongs to, and that turns out to be a very interesting story with a big twist at the end.
