==Synopsis==
The episode begins with an unknown voice speaking with Director Church over a situation. Director Church tells him to send in "Number One". As he does so, the scene shifts to where the last episode ended, with North and South surronded. As a soldier orders them to hand over the stolen data file, Freelancer, Number One, attacks soldiers on the catwalk facing South. She takes the turret the announcing soldier is on and fires it at the support beams of the other catwalks, causing them, and the soldiers on them, to fall. North protects South
from the falling catwalks as the Freelancer kills more soldiers with the turret. She jumps down to North and South and the three procede to kill several soldiers. While this is going on two soldiers get into an argument over a rifle despite the abundance of fallen weaponry. South ends this argument by kicking one into the other, causing both to fall off the platform. The announcer gets back on his turret and aims at South. North, seeing this, jumps in the way and takes a few bullets in the chest. Carolina fires a grappling hook at the turret and turns it downwards, causing it to knock down the catwalk it is standing on sending it, and several soldiers to plummet to their deaths. However, the announcer manages to lands safely on a ledge and moves off-screen. As South drags North to an edge to get him out of the battle, she calls for evacuation, stating that they have injured. Carolina comes and drags the two over the edge. A dramatic moment occurs with the soldiers gathering around the edge only for a Pelican to come up with North, South, and Carolina on top of it. Carolina goes down into the Pelican, telling the pilot she's late. Pilot sarcastically remarks "take it out of my tip." As the Pelican flies away, they detonate the entire facility.
The scene shifts back to Blood Gulch, where the Reds continue to fire at the cliff. They begin to devise a plan to sneak up on the Blues, when Church walks up asking to talk. The Reds debate what to do with him and Church realizes they don't know who he is yet. Sarge decides to let him talk but Donut wants to shoot him. They come to a comprimise allowing Donut to shoot Church once while Church gets five minutes to talk. Donut asks Church whether he wants to be shot in the shoulder or in the foot. Church tells him to shoot his foot, unaware that Donut actually intends to shoot him. As Church begins talking, Donut takes aim and fires. The screen goes dark with Church screaming about his foot and Donut saying that his five minutes have started.

Simmons: I don't know. Hard to tell.
Tucker: Missed bitches!
Simmons: Ah damnit.
Donut: I have a plan. We need to use stealth.
Simmons: Great idea.
Donut: Ok. Let's try this. Sir, you lay down some cover fire. Simmons, the two of us can sneak around their backside and slip on in.
Simmons: Ok. Just saying stealth was enough man. We don't need to expand on good ideas. Especially after other people have already agreed to them.
Sarge: Sounds good sir. I mean wait. I'm the sir. But we should do that. Make it so.
Church: Hey reds. Yo. Hold on a second. Cease fire.
Donut: Who the hell is that?
Sarge: It's one of the blue guys. He's just walkin' up here.
Donut: By himself? That guy is fucked.
Simmons: Totally.
Donut: Hes going to get totally fucked.
Simmons: Ok, see? Right there. You changed the way you said it, again. Could you not do that please?
Church: Hey guys hold up. Can you hear hello?
Church is shot at.
Church: Fuck, what the hell? Cease fire man, it's me!
Donut: Yeah we know it's you, dipshit. Thats why we're shootin'.
Church: I just wanna talk for a second.
Simmons: Yeah, so what does that mean?
Church: You know I just wanna talk to you about... uh... somethi... oh shit. I think I fucked up. I fucked up didn't I? You guys don't know who I am.
Sarge: Maybe we should give him a chance. See what he has to say. He could provide some intel by accident. Or give us the blue perspective. I always wanted to hear that.
Donut: I wanna shoot him.
Simmons: Ok, just to be clear. I understand what you meant by that. I get that you want to shoot him with bullets.
Donut: Red hot bullets.
Simmons: Please, that's enough.
Sarge: Lets hear him out. Then we shoot him.
Donut: How about I just wound him? Then he can still talk and I get to shoot him. Thats a win-win.
Church: Not for me, I get shot.
Simmons: Ok, how about this? Donut gets to shoot you in exchange for you getting to say what you want to say.
Donut: Five minutes of talking for one shot. Where do you want it blue? The shoulder or the foot?
Church: Well, obviously I would pick the foot but I don't want you guys to shoot me.
Scene goes to Donut aiming and shooting his pistol. Fade to black.
Church: OW! SON OF A BITCH!
Donut: Ok. Your five minutes have started. Go.
