Story
Derek Peterson and Marcus Andrews, two S-Unit officers, are seen driving. Derek discusses the plan to burst into a potential drug house and find leads to the case they are working on. Upon arriving at the house, Derek and Marcus find it empty. Derek then notices a computer screen showing surveilance footage of his house. To his shock it then explodes. Derek and Marcus then leave the drug house to continue the investigation.

In a warehouse, a man approaches his unseen boss who tells him to go and kill Derek and Marcus for their intrusion into one of his drug houses. The man agrees.

Arriving at home, Marcus allows Derek to stay for the duration of his house being rebuilt. Derek begins to investigate the reports to find out who blew up his house. Marcus then asks if they want to go get some lunch to which Derek agrees. At McDonalds, the two argue again over fat foods. The man sent by his boss approaches them and opens fire. Derek and Marcus hide behind cover and witness the suspect fleeing the scene. Derek then chases the suspect on foot while Marcus by car. The chase leads Derek to Marcus' backyard where he arrests the suspect.

Derek and Marcus, who suffered a bullet wound in his leg from the chase, arrive at the station to question the suspect. Derek learns that the suspect blew up his house to send a message, saying that "not even your unit can stop the drug production." Derek receives a phone call from the suspect's boss who warns Derek to stay away. The suspect is then immediately shot by a sniper from the distance. Marcus claims he looked up files while Derek was on the phone, revealing the crime boss to be Lucas Greene. Marcus also tells Derek that a man named Allan Faraday has recently been released from prison who worked for Mr Greene. Derek says he'll pay him a visit in Sydney.

In Sydney, Derek arrives at Allan's house and asks his body guard to allow him in. Derek then confronts Allan about the identity of Mr Greene. Allan takes Derek to Bunnings Warehouse and tells him that Greene imports his drugs through the soil in plants at places such as Bunnings. Allan's guard then begins running away and Derek pursues. Derek catches up to the guard and tells Allan that he is working for Greene and was going to ring him to warn him. Allan thanks Derek for his time and gives him an address where Greene should be.

Back in Brisbane, Derek and Marcus arrive at the location and Derek enters alone due to Marcus' wounds. Derek encounters a henchman who he kills. Derek then encounters a man who reveales himself as Mr Greene. As he is about to shoot Derek, Marcus arrives and knocks Greene unconscious. The two then arrest Mr Greene.

At Marcus' house, Derek and Marcus discuss the case with Derek saying it is odd that Greene would stay there if he knew they were coming. He also claims that maybe the man they arrested was never Mr Greene but one of his workers. In the prison where "Mr Greene" is being kept, the real Lucas Greene arrives and asks "Do they know?" to which the fake Greene replies "for the time being no."
