Good Little Asian
The Captain and his fellow Vietnamese refugees attempt to settle into life in Los Angeles.

While the Captain narrows in on a target, he reconnects with his former teacher, Professor Hammer, and meets his beguiling assistant, Ms. Mori.
Love It or Leave It
With the General's order to eliminate the spy in their ranks weighing on him, the Captain seeks Bon's help to craft and execute a plan specifically timed for Independence Day.

Give Us Some Good Lines
The Captain encounters an uninvited guest on his drive north to consult on the Auteur's war movie. While on set, the Captain's frustrations grow as he navigates the Auteur's volatile ego, temperamental Hollywood actors, concerns of Vietnamese extras, and his own emotional response to the film.
All for One

The Oriental Mode of Destruction
Convinced that the General's plan is doomed to fail, the Captain makes it his mission to trace the General's funding and ingratiates himself with the Congressman. His desperation grows as he searches for ways to expose the military operation and to achieve his ultimate goal: to save Bon.
Endings Are Hard, Aren't They?
Before sending them into Vietnam, Claude treats the squad to a night out in Thailand and reveals some terrifying intelligence to the Captain.
