"Security" -- When the Unit goes undercover as security detail for the American Ambassador in Israel, their mission to plant a bug in the Russian embassy there seems destined for failure, on a rebroadcast of THE UNIT, Friday, July 7 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. (Originally broadcast 4/11/06)

The episode was directed and written by Executive Producer David Mamet.

The Unit is sent on a mission to the Iranian embassy in Beirut in hopes of recording evidence that the Russians are planning to sell materials to the Iranians that will enable them to build a nuclear bomb. The plan seems doomed from the beginning when Bob is banned from entering the embassy and Jonas seems unable to elude embassy security. Meanwhile, Kim becomes suspicious when she sees Tiffy sneak into a hotel room and, due to security warnings, Kim reports the incident to Tiffy's secret lover, Col. Tom Ryan.
