Nothing says love more than a couple who run a pawnshop. But they just don't deal in the usual jewels and electronics, Rod and Delaine Uhlman, The Pawnbrokers, deal in secrets and hot lead. If you trade in your item for cash, you have 30 days to buy your item back otherwise it hits the open market. Cross them, and Delaine takes you out. Turns out they came into possession of a way to break Chinese coded transmissions so the task force is tasked by the NSA to get it back as they race against the local Chinese consulate.

Meanwhile Red gets acquainted to his new lifestyle in "the bunker" making friends with new character Vontae Jones. Turns out Red knows a few people on the inside, and one of them is not happy to see him.
