Gunnery Sergeant Ray Crockett (Stephen [=McHattie=]) is a brilliant Marine sniper who has seen too much war. He had a deal with Colonel Garcia: no more deployments for the rest of his military career, only training young snipers. But Colonel Gordon (Christopher Murray) doesn't care, and orders Crockett to deploy. Gordon drives off, and Crockett shoots the side view mirror of Gordon's Humvee from a thousand meters away. Gordon of course thinks he just survived attempted murder.
Rabb and Austin are assigned the case by Chegwidden, who is nostalgic about the time in Vietnam when Crockett saved his life, an incident Crockett does not remember. The investigation is hampered by all the redactions in Crockett's file. Rabb asks for Krennick's help obtaining Crockett's unredacted file.

Crockett breaks out of the brig and goes hide in the woods. Gordon sends several Marines in helicopters to go find and apprehend Crockett, but they all fail spectacularly. Rabb puts on camouflage and goes after Crockett, finds him, fights him, and gets close to killing him.
The next day, with Crockett back in the brig, Rabb urges Gordon to review Crockett's kill book, but Gordon doesn't care: Crockett is a homicidal maniac unfit for duty.
Later, in a meeting with Krennick, Gordon seems receptive to the idea of Crockett receiving a bad conduct discharge and losing all his benefits. Crockett should be punished because he tried to kill a Marine colonel. Rabb insists that if Crockett wanted Gordon dead, he would be dead already.
