Trench decides to
remain undercover and assist Stigman in robbing $3 million from Greco,
so they can prosecute Greco for money laundering. Trench later meets with his lover, Deb Rees (Paula Patton), who is involved with another man as well, while Stigman, an undercover Naval Intelligence Officer, meets with his commanding officer, Harold Quince (James Marsden), who instructs Stigman to kill Trench so the Navy can use the stolen money to fund covert operations.
Trench visits Jessup to tell him what happened, but Earl and his men
are there waiting for him. Earl frames Trench for Jessup's murder and
lets him go, making a deal that if Trench returns the $43 million he
will be cleared. Trench goes to Stigman's apartment to find out where he
took the money, only to have Stigman contact him from a sniper's post
across the street. After escaping a hit squad send by Quince, Trench and
Stigman kidnap Greco and interrogate him in the garage at Deb's house,
where they find out Earl, Greco's associate, is a black ops operative, and they have stolen money from the CIA.
The garage is attacked by another hit squad, led by Quince, and the
trio ends up being captured by Greco and taken to his farm in Mexico.
After torturing them and receiving a visit from Earl, Greco gives the
pair 24 hours to steal the money from the Navy and return it to him, or
Deb will die.
At the base, Trench infiltrates Quince's office, only to discover
Quince is Deb's boyfriend, and they had planned to steal the money for
themselves. Meanwhile, Stigman asks Admiral Tuway (Fred Ward)
for help. Tuway orders Quince's arrest, but disavows Stigman to prevent
the scandal from tarnishing the Navy's reputation. Quince evades
arrest, as does Stigman. Unable to find the money, Trench is too late to
prevent Greco from killing Deb. He later realizes that the money is in a
motel room that he and Deb frequented and goes to help Stigman, who had
returned to Greco's farm alone.There, Stigman is surrounded by Greco's men until both Quince and Earl
intervene. Trench arrives in a car filled with money, and then blows up
the car, scattering the money everywhere, which leads to a massive
shootout. During a standoff among Quince, Earl, Trench, and Stigman,
Earl reveals that the CIA has 19 other secret banks, and the loss of the
$43 million is only a minor setback. Signaling Stigman with a phrase
from an earlier conversation, Stigman shoots Earl, and Trench shoots
Quince. Trench kills Greco and the duo escapes, but not before Trench
shoots Stigman in the leg as payback for shooting him in the desert.
While planning to continue to take down the CIA's secret banks and
sabotage their black ops operations, Trench reveals to Stigman that he
did not blow up all the money and had some stashed away.
