Almost all of Europe is under the Nazi heel. Great Britain still holds out, but the situation worsens with every passing day. And in North Africa, gateway to the Middle East and its immense oil reserves, Rommel now threatens Egypt, keystone of British defences. In those desperate times, three men (David Stirling, Blair Mayne and ‘Jock’ Lewes), three unconventional officers, band together to create a small, elite unit that will become a military legend: the SAS.

Vietnam, 1965. A squad of American soldiers is deep in the La Drang Valley, marking bombing runs for air support. Straightforward enough, as missions go, but a shameful secret these men share weighs upon them, and in the jungle, danger lurks around every corner. When an unscheduled chopper drops off a reporter, the new face sparks off simmering tensions among the men. The surprises are only beginning, though, for soon they find themselves lost in a land with no night, mercilessly hunted by...

It's Bagdad 2004. There are almost as many fighters in the private armies as there are official soldiers. When one of these mercenaries falls into homicidal madness and starts killing Iraqi civilians, the American government fear an international scandal. A young military legal advisor and a laconic ex-mercenary are sent on the trail of the killer.

After the disaster that was their first mission, the SAS refused to give up, and their second wave of raids proved a powerful validation of the concept behind their unit. Unfortunately, they still have many enemies at headquarters, and now they must capitalise on their success. While they lack neither daring nor imagination, they will have to contend with an enemy who knows how to adapt, and learn to live with the terrible human cost of the war ...

Despite the heroic efforts of L Detachment, the unit’s victories haven’t managed to stop the advance of the German war machine. Soon, Rommel is at the gates of Egypt, and losses mount among David Stirling and Paddy Mayne’s men – some crueller than others. In the end, they will have to reinvent themselves and give everything to push back the Desert Fox and earn their name at last: The Special Air Service!

In Part 2 of this episode, French Presidential guard Sisco-Castiglioni—Sisco for short—is chasing an incriminating video, which was last seen in the hands of an elusive journalist. When he finally catches up with her, he discovers that the video is least of his worries. First, he has some departmental rivalries to deal with—and it isn't always clear whose side everyone's on. Apart from their own, of course. But with his trademark combination of guts, brains, brawn, and sheer luck, Sisco is...

Agent Sisco-Castiglioni—Sisco for short—is responsible for protecting the President... which doesn't necessarily mean he's on the President's side. Nor are his colleagues necessarily on his. When an ill-advised business deal threatens to embarrass the country's leader, Sisco is called in to take drastic action. But what should have happened behind closed doors is witnessed from a window—and the chase is on to prevent embarrassment turning into national scandal... In Part 1 of this episode,...

Sisco is in hot water. His last mission didn't quite go according to plan. His punishment? Looking after the President's teenage daughter, Julie. Seems like a cushy number—though hardly Sisco's ideal assignment—until he discovers that gin fizz isn't the only "cocktail" young Julie is partial to. Which is particularly bad news seeing that her father is intent on bringing in a new vice law. There's worse. Someone seems to have the girl in their sights. What looked like just a babysitting job...

The leaders of the French Republic are among the best when it comes to shady deals. The latest in a long line has led to some "embarrassing" documents that must be recovered from a disgraced senator and deposited in a Belgian bank. But the Russians, who are part of the deal, see their chance to get ahold of the documents themselves. Only just back on duty, and still obsessed with finding the kidnapped Manon, Sisco will have to hit the ground running if he is going to dodge bullets this tim...

Once again, Sisco has made his way out of one hole only to find himself deep in another one—a particularly black one. To extricate himself this time—and, of course, spare his country international scandal and embarrassment—he has to resort to an unusual amount of double-dealing. As usual, too, there's a distractingly attractive woman involved, and she's prepared to go to any lengths to get what she wants. All Sisco wants is a quiet little business at the other end of the earth... but he is...

When his troops come under fire from Albanian human-traffickers, the French President decides to ask the UN Security Council to step in—which means Sisco gets a trip to the Big Apple. However, what promises to be an all-in vacation, complete with classy embassy women, soon turns into a nightmare as the Albanian mafia and their suspicious US "partners" turn the high-level meeting into a no-holds-barred turf war. Nothing Sisco can't take in his stride, of course—except for the fact that some...

Sisco doesn't trust anyone anymore—not even his boss. When someone tries to break into the supposedly secret hideout where the President's wayward daughter is being kept away from the prying pens of the press, Sisco decides to take her to a location only he knows about. Trouble is, young Julie isn't used to being told what to do—or what not to do. When she disobeys Sisco's instructions, whoever's after her is able to track her down. But what do they really want Julie for? As always, Sisco ...
