The Following takes place during The JAG Episode: "Legacy- Part Two" – (Season 6, Episode 2)
1100 hours local time, 25 June 2000, 35 miles southwest of Kamushev, Russia.
"Return Fire!" Tony yelled as he pulled back on The AK's cocking hammer. The 3 men returned the Chechnyan Rebel's fire. As they did, the other Russian soldiers began to drop like flies. After a few minutes and several hundred rounds of ammunition later, Tony realized something: all of the Russian soldiers were dead. "Tony!" Harm yelled out. "Tony, all the men are dead".
"Really?" said Tony sarcastically as he loaded a fresh clip. "I never fucking noticed" Tony yelled back.
"If our Men are dead, then we go down fighting" said Alexi and he popped up and fired. Tony pulled him back down.
"I got a better idea" said Tony. "They're after the convoy, not us" he paused. He grabbed a crate of rifles and threw it into a ditch on the far side of the road. "Let's give em what they want" said Tony. Alexi and Harm nodded. The 2 men made a break for the ditch as Tony provided cover fire. Once Captain Volcanoff and Commander Rabb were safely in the ditch, Tony dove in after them. With no one left guarding the convoy, The Rebels swooped in, started the trucks and drove off. The 3 men all let out deep breaths. They were safe, for now. Alexi reached into his pocket and pulled out a silver flask. Opening it, he took a long pull. "Vodka?" Tony asked, in an accent that made it sound like he had said "Hodka". Alexi nodded and passed Tony the flask. Tony took a pull and passed it back.
"Once the convoy is reported missing, Krilov will think he has succeeded in killing us and make his move against the President" Harm pointed out.
"That's it, I'm gonna kill that fat bastard" said Tony.
0915 hours local time, 28 June 2000, Ford River Rouge Assembly Plant, Detroit, Michigan.
"What the hell is doing?" Chester asked Malachi as he lowered his binoculars from his face.
"I don't know, if I did, I wouldn't be stuck here with you" replied Mal. The 2 men were sitting parked in Chester's black 1997 Dodge Ram pickup truck, across the street from the entrance to Ford Motor Company's River Rouge assembly plant. When The Unit was dispatched to Russia, Chester was left behind to man the T.O.C. he had left the task to Tali and Bridget. When Three, Liat and Malachi landed at Fort Bragg, they had loaded Chester's Truck and Three's red 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 onto the C-130 and took off for Detroit.
"You 2 wanna stop bitching and moaning already" said Three over the radio.
Suddenly, Three had an idea. "Ok ladies and gentlemen, time for TV Car trivia" he said in his best game show host voice. Liat laughed. "1st question, what is on Magnum P.I's License plate?" Three asked.
"Robin 1" Malachi replied quickly. "After working with your father for 10 years I should know that, it is his favorite TV show" explained Mal as he laughed.
"Next question. What car did Colombo drive?" Three asked.
"A Peugeot Convertible" answered Chester impressively quickly.
"How the hell did you know that?" Three asked.
"Fuckin' love that show" replied Chester. Three and Liat burst out laughing.
"In season 2 of Hill Street Blues, whose beloved 1978 Buick was stole from the precinct parking lot?" he asked. Three watched as he sister smile.
"Sergeant Philip Freemason Esterhaus" she said into her radio. Tony's jaw dropped in shock. "We have TV re-runs in Israel too" she said with a smile. Three was about to ask another question when he saw Bodner.
"Game time's over, I got eyes on Bodner" said Three in to his radio.
"Copy, I see him too" said Mal. "He doesn't have the brief case" Malachi observed. When Bodner had walked into the plant, he had been caring a small leather attaché case. Now, he had nothing.
"The $5,000,000, it was probably in Barer Bonds, just as good as cash, harder to trace" Three explained.
"How do you know all this?" Malachi asked.
"I actually put my free time to good use, instead of reading the romance novels Tali keeps in her desk" Three told him. He listed as Malachi yelled. Three watched as Bodner approached a purple Peterbilt Semi.
"Looks like our Boy bought himself a truck" said Ironman over the radio. They all watched as Bodner got into the passenger seat and the truck pulled away. It was towing a flatbed trailer behind it, and it was riding low to the ground.
"Looks like he bought himself more than a trailer, look at how low to the ground she's riding, the trailer is loaded for bare. My guess is there are 2 or 3 cars under there" Three said.
"Do we intercept?" Liat asked.
"No, there are way too many witnesses around; we need to do it on the open highway" Three explained. He reached into the grove compartment and grabbed the sate phone. He quickly dialed.
1030 hours, 28 June 2000, Tactical Operations Center, Unit Compound, Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Tali was sitting at her desk in The T.O.C, enjoying her 2nd 7-11 Double Gulp of Mountain Dew of the day. She was flipping through Time Magazine, reading an article about the upcoming presidential election; it was the 1st one she would be able to vote in. "Vice President Al Gore vs. Governor George W. Bush" she said to herself. She was having a hard time deciding. Being Military, she was partial to The Republicans and Governor Bush. But also being a woman, she was also partial to Vice President Gore and The Democrats. She also had to consider what her father had told her about Somalia and "Operation Gothic Serpent" and how President Clinton's Secretary of Defense had screwed them all over. there was also the fact that Clinton's orders had prevented Tony and Billy from killing Michael Rivkin in Afghanistan, and that if they had, the attack on Camp Washington in Algeria may have never happened. Also the fact that Clinton had appointed Colonel Bell. All of that added together did not help Vice President Gore.
However, Vice President Gore was not President Clinton, and Clinton had done some good things for the Unit, he had appointed Colonel Barrett. She tried to think of something else Clinton had done besides Monica Lewinsky Tals though, chucking to herself. "Ok, maybe he has done that many good things for the Unit" she said in a low voice as she turned the page. She was wrestled from her thoughts by her phone ringing. "Go for Freedom" she said when she picked it up.
"Freedom, this is Sky Train, we have eyes on 0-0-3's right hand, leaving plant as we speak" explained Three.
"The 5?" she asked, refereeing to The 5 million dollars he had carried from Israel.
"Payoff has been made, appears that 0-0-3 has bought himself some cars" Three explained. "Can you hack into Ford's database and find out what he bought?" Three asked.
"Faster than you can whistle 'Carmen'" Tali said smiling.
"I can't whistle 'Carmen'" Three said.
"Then whistle something else" Tali said. Three started to whistle "Yankee Doodle". "Something longer" Tali said, so Three switched to the theme from "Patton".
"Anything else?" Tali asked.
"Get me a destination and possible routes and intercept points. It doesn't matter if 0-0-3 bought these bad boys for business or pleasure, The Unit is gonna take em off his hands" explained Three.
"Copy that Sky Train, I'll get back to you, Freedom, out" Tali said as she hung up.
1400 hours local time, 28 June 2000, Russian Forward Operating Base, 24 miles east of Groznyy, Chechnya Province, Russia.
"Bomb!" Tony yelled as he knocked Russian President Vladimir Putin to the ground; covering him with his own body. The bomb, which had been located in a truck about 100 feet from them, exploded. Fortunately, the blast went vertical, not horizontal. Tony quickly got to his feet, his 45 drawn. "Get President Putin to safety" he said to Bravo Team, Webb and Colonel Barrett. "The rest of you, with me" he said to Harm, Billy, Captain Volcanoff and Sergeant Zhukov.
"Right" said EJ as he got to his feet. Tony and his de-facto team took off. "Bandit, you and your men setup and perimeter" EJ ordered.
"Yes Sir" said Captain Bauer as he got to his feet, MP-7 submachine gun in hand. Captain Bauer setup his team in a triangular pattern. While he did this, Colonel Barrett picked up President Putin, as he and Webb quickly escorted him to the nearest building. As they entered the door way, 2 men came rushing at them, AK-74s in hand. Barrett quickly dropped Putin to the floor and drew his Desert Eagle handgun. He quickness and practiced precision, he fired 4 rounds, 2 center mass kill shots to each of the men.
The base was in complete chaos. Men loyal to Krilov were battling those loyal to Putin.
"We have to put an end to this" Tony said. They sprinted across the small air strip to where a Mil Mi-24 Hind was located. There was a rather portly man attempting to board. "There he is" Tony yelled as he stormed ahead. "Harm, Sergeant Zhukov, take out the pilots" Tony order. Harm drew his M9 pistol and Zhukov had his Tokarev TT-33 drawn. They approached the cockpits and forced the pilots out. Meanwhile, Tony, Billy and Captain Volcanoff approached the back, where they found Colonel-General Arkady Krilov cowering in fear. Without hesitation, Tony emptied his 45's 8-round magazine into Krilov's chest. Krilov's body temporarily convulsed before dropping to the floor of the chopper. Tony ejected the clip and loaded a new one. He walked by the cockpits, and saw the mangled body of the 2 pilots; they had both been shot once in the head, at point blank range.
"This is how we deal with traitors in Mother Russia" said Zhukov as he holstered his weapon. The fighting around the base was calming down as Putin's people were easily over taking Krilov's.
"I ain't complaining" said Tony as he placed the 45 back in his shoulder holster. "All callsigns, this is Movie Buff, Krilov is dead, repeat Krilov is dead" he said into his radio as he sat down on a oil drum.
"Copy that Movie Buff, Precious Cargo is secured, I say again, precious cargo secure. Any sign of Rogatov?" Colonel Barrett asked.
"Negative on 2nd target Ex-Caliber, he lives to fight another day" said Tony.
0930 hours, 29 June 2000, Tactical Operations Center, Unit Compound, Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
"Target 0-0-7" Tony muttered as he tacked up Vasili Rogatov's photo on The Unit's Kill Wall. Of the 7 names on the list, only 2 had been dealt with. Target 0-0-2, Mossad Officer/Kidon Operative Simon Ben-Lev had been killed in Israel by Tony, and target 0-0-4, Former Special Agent Clark Palmer of the now disbanded Defense Security Division had been arrested by Tony with the help of Tom Colleton and Special Agent Leroy Jeathro "Gunny" Gibbs of NCIS. The rest of the list remained largely untouched.
Target 0-0-1- Mossad Officer/Kidon Operative Michael Rivkin- Tony had never been able to get a shot off at Rivkin, despite having had him in his sights back in 1998.
Target 0-0-3- Mossad Deputy Director Eli David- Tony had gotten one shot off at Eli David in June of 1998 in Québec, but the round had gone wide and had hit Eli in the shoulder. That event had earned Tony the dubious nickname "The Riviere-du-Loup Shooter". Mossad had never found out it was him, but they did know it was "Movie Buff" who was responsible; it had also earned "Movie Buff" the #1 spot on Mossad's Wanted List.
Target 0-0-5- Mossad Officer Joshua Hadar, Tony had yet to even see him in person, let alone get him in his sights.
Target 0-0-6- Osama Bin Laden- Leader of Al Qaeda.
Target 0-0-7- Vasili Rogatov
Tony had just sat back down at his desk when Tali walked in, Malachi, Liat, Three and Chester right behind her. "I assume Bridget briefed you on Illan Bodner's activities in the United States" she said as she handed him a clip board. "these are the cars he bought for Eli David" she said as Tony read it.
"Explains the $5,000,000" Tony said.
"We've plotted an intercept point along Highway One, in the Keys. Bodner's destination is Key West" Tali said.
"That's where Eli docks his private yacht. It's only 90 miles to Havana from there" Tony said.
"What do you need Movie Buff?" Colonel Barrett asked.
"Myself and my kids as drivers, Jack can drop us in via helo, while his boys provide cover fire from said helo. I also need Malachi and Tals for distracting the driver and slowing it down" Tony said as her turned to Tali. "What do you say Tals, you up for kicking Eli David in the pocketbook one more time?" Tony asked his trademark 1000-watt grin. Tali returned the smile.
"As my Daddy used to say, 'Good Hunting, dismissed'" she said.
"Let's Roll!" said Tony as he stood up.
