Help me.

- Damn it.
- Help me.

Help me.

- It's the padre.
- Give him cover.

Through the holy anointing,
may the Lord, in his love and mercy...

Forgive him, please, great and holy...

Help me.

Help me. Help me.

- Freeze! Get your hands in the air!
- She's my wife. Get an ambulance.

Get your hands in the air!

He says he's some kind
of major sergeant in the Marines.

That's "sergeant major," detective.
A senior enlisted man.

Well, radio car found him at
the crime scene kneeling over his wife,

- the weapon six feet away.
- What was the weapon?

A brick. We sent it to Forensics.

- How is she?
- Doctors say she's gonna make it.

Subdural hematoma.
But they got to it before she bled out.

Another few minutes,
and we'd be charging with murder

instead of attempted murder.

- Has she made a statement?
- No, not yet.

What about him?
He made a statement?

Yeah, said he didn't do it.

Left the house looking for his wife
when she was late getting home,

and happened to find her in an alley
80 miles from their house.

I'm surprised he didn't tell us
he saw a one-armed man.

Look, detective,
we generally like to prosecute our own.

Where you want him shipped?

Sergeant Major Jarvis Krohn,

the command sergeant major
at Quantico.

Before that,
he ran a scout sniper school there.

And before that, he was in charge

of the Marine security detachment
at the White House.

He's been awarded two Silver Stars
and one Purple Heart.

A real poster Marine.

Except when he's bashing
his wife's head in with a brick,

if that's what he did.

Yeah, well, according to this,

in 1995, PMO sent base security
to his quarters at Camp Lejeune,

found his wife with a bloody lip.

Sergeant Major Krohn
received unofficial counselling.

Neighbours at Quantico
say they've heard his raised voice

from their house recently.

- Tiner, what are you doing?
- Installing your screen saver, sir.

What screen saver?

The one from the SETI programme,
sir. You agreed to take part.

Oh, yeah, I remember.

Is his wife awake yet?

She regained consciousness
this morning, sir.

And what did she say?

They've had problems in the past,
but she can't believe

the sergeant major
is capable of anything like this.

What do you mean
she can't believe it?

- Doesn't she know?
- Well, the last thing she remembers

is having egg salad for lunch
yesterday alone.

Traumatic memory loss, sir,
aggravated by the blow to the head.

Tiner, what'd the literature say?

You volunteered to use
your computer's downtime, sir,

to analyse chunks of raw data

picked up
by the Arecibo radio telescope.

Looking for signals
that might've come from intelligent life.

Sir.

From outer space?

Well, it's a very exciting programme,
sir. Millions of people are using it.

I have it on both of my computers.

Well, you think you got room
on your computer for this case file?

Lieutenant, you'll prosecute.

- Yes, sir.
- Commander, you'll defend.

- Aye, sir.
- Here you go, sir.

You won't even notice.
Runs in the background.

Do you believe in God, commander?

We have more productive things
to discuss, sergeant major,

than my religious preferences.

I'm innocent, sir.

Were you innocent in giving your wife
a bloody lip in 1995?

Because the prosecution
is gonna bring that up.

I love my wife, commander,
and she loves me.

And we both love God.

Then tell me
what happened yesterday.

I got home at 1800.

I was a little late because I'd been
going over monthly unit reports

with the general.

Robin, my wife,

was gonna make pork chops
for dinner.

So she went to the market
in Dumfries.

She should've been back
in 20 minutes.

After a while, I got to be worried.
I had a terrible feeling.

So I went out looking for her.

And I found her.

You found your wife in an alley
in Baltimore, sergeant major.

She was supposed to be at a market
in Dumfries. So how did you find her?

I prayed, sir.

And my prayer was answered
with a miracle.

- Mac, hi.
- Hi.

- Harm isn't here, is he?
- I don't know.

I wanna put this on his desk.
It's a surprise.

- The Roches?
- They're doing a benefit next month.

- I'm doing the video.
- Didn't they sing "Oh, Mr. Sellack"?

Oh, Mr. Sellack
Can I have my job back?

- I love them.
- Well, you know,

they're warming up at the Ten Spot
in Georgetown next Friday.

- I'm dragging Harm. Why don't you...?
- Well, yeah, we'd...

You know what?

I have to be at Cherry Point
on the 18th, three or four days.

- Well, maybe next time.
- Yeah.

Actually, you know,
the 18th is the week after next.

Right. You said that
they were playing next Friday.

I think so.

You know, I could always,
you know, double check.

- Well, if they are...
- Then it's a date.

Chaplain Wiggins
was a Catholic chaplain.

He was Ninth Marines,
Vietnam, my unit.

Some of the chaplains
over there, sir, they...

Well, they kind of miss the point.

But Chaplain Wiggins,
he'd have a beer with you, sir.

He'd come out into the field.
He carried the same pack we carried.

- You never heard of him?
- I don't think so, no.

He got to be kind of famous, sir,
for the way he died.

What does this have to do
with you and your wife?

I'm getting to that, sir.

Some of the guys
who were shot, sir,

were out in the open
in plain sight of the enemy.

One Marine, Rosebrock,
kept calling out, "Help me."

But we couldn't get to him.
We were pinned down.

But Chaplain Wiggins
went out anyway, sir.

He checked on a couple of the guys
who were dead.

He got hit, but he kept going.

The Marine who was calling out,
"Help me,"

he gave him the last rites,
bullets hitting all around.

And he got killed.

Nobody gave him the last rites.

Well, he sounds like
a very brave man.

He's got a reputation

for holiness, sir.

A group has been formed
to honour him.

It has a newsletter, website.

People pray to him, sir.

You prayed to him
when your wife was missing?

Yes, sir.

And he interceded with God
to answer my prayer.

I saw a vision of the padre
right in front of me, sir.

And I followed him.
I followed him out to my car.

I followed him
all the way into Baltimore.

And he led me to my wife.

Just in time to save her life.

Maybe you should plead him insane.

He's not insane, Renee.
He's religious.

- Or delusional.
- Or religious and delusional.

- Or a liar and a murderer.
- Or that.

- You have Travel?
- Yeah. You got Sports.

Hey, the comics are mine.

Yeah. Yes, well,
I think Sunday morning,

we probably shouldn't get into
that conversation.

Since when,
if you don't go to church on Sunday,

do they send a priest to your house?

- Hello.
- Mrs. Rabb?

No. That would be his mother.

- Come in.
- I'm sorry to interrupt your breakfast.

I just got in from Rome,
and I thought I'd get right to it.

I'm Harry O'R ourke.

Harmon Rabb.
This is Renee Peterson.

Hi. I'm gonna go get dressed.
Excuse me.

Get right to what, Father?

The alleged miracle granted
through prayer to Walter Wiggins.

- You heard about it?
- Well, his backers made sure I did.

- Yeah.
- His backers?

You don't know
what's going on here?

Apparently not everything.

Well, the Vatican has already
recognised one miracle performed

as a result of prayer
to Chaplain Walter Wiggins:

A small child cured of cancer
in Toledo 11 years ago.

As a result,
the chaplain has been beatified.

Beatified?

Proclaimed a blessed of the Church
by the pope.

And, well,
if this new miracle is verified,

then Chaplain Walter Wiggins
could well be declared a saint.

Your defence is going to be
that God led him to the alley?

Maybe.

And the Roman Catholic Church
is gonna back this up?

Possibly. We don't accept
that a miracle occurred

just because someone said so.

- I'm here to investigate.
- Investigate what?

If there's any other rational explanation
for what happened.

How about this? The sergeant major

tosses his wife in the car, drives her
to an alley and tries to kill her.

Well, that is one explanation.

- Yeah, I'd say so.
- I'm sure you will.

Commander. Father.

I gather you don't have
much of a case.

Sergeant Major Krohn has no alibi.

I can find no witnesses
to substantiate his story.

He was found
at the scene of the crime

with no reasonable explanation
as to how he got there.

And you're not prepared
to entertain an unreasonable one?

Father, how exactly
are you planning to investigate this?

Talk to the police, the sergeant major.
Follow the trial.

Let you do the work.

Well, I'm not trying to prove that
Chaplain Wiggins performed a miracle.

I'm trying to prove that Sergeant Krohn
did not attempt to murder his wife.

Without anything else
to work with, commander,

aren't those two the same thing?

Are you sure
it's not in your briefcase?

- Very sure.
- I don't see it here, sir.

- Keep looking, Tiner.
- Yes, sir.

Tiner?

Tiner?

Oh, my God.

I told the father that,
while he was here,

you might be able to help him out
with something.

We've been trying
to track down people

who knew the chaplain in Vietnam,
to add to his Positio,

his spiritual biography.

Firsthand witnesses
are very important.

Witnesses to what, Father?

His virtues.

You know, faith, hope, charity.

You want me to find Marines
who witnessed virtue in Vietnam?

Yeah, there was a little bit of it
going on there, Gunny.

Yes, sir.

I've never been
to Colonial Williamsburg.

And since I'm marrying
a genuine American...

This weekend's no good, Mic.

- You're not working.
- No, I made us a date.

With Harm and Renee.

To see a singing group.
You know The Roches?

They sang "The Married Man,"
"My Sick Mind."

- Renee and Harm, you and me?
- And The Roches.

The four of us?

- That's very couplish.
- Exactly. Couplish.

Thanks for lunch.

Hey, Mic.

- How's the job hunting going?
- Interesting.

I'll tell you all about it Friday.

- Friday?
- Yeah. On our double date.

See you.

Double date?

I looked over at the screen,
and all of a sudden,

I started noticing
these spikes emerging.

They'd never been there before.

- Tiner?
- Attention on deck.

- Is the carnival in town?
- It's your computer, sir.

Look.

Well, that's pretty. At ease, Tiner.

Those are radio signals
picked up from outer space, sir.

In a regular pattern.

Do you know
what this means, admiral?

Little green men are communicating
with my computer?

Most days,
I can't get e-mail from Norfolk.

This is what the study programme
is all about, sir.

Search
for extraterrestrial intelligence.

- Where does it come from?
- I don't know, sir.

- Alpha Centauri?
- The programme.

The University of California, sir.
I've been trying to reach them.

- Keep trying.
- Yes, sir.

- Gunny.
- Yes, sir?

- Can I have my office back?
- Aye, aye, sir. Dismissed.

You sure you wanna do this,
sweetie?

We can't just leave it
in the closet forever.

It's been long enough, Bud.

Okay.

What better place for all this stuff to go
but the children's hospital?

You're right.

Brand-new.

Somebody can get some use
out of that.

I'm sure they will.

Oh, not that.
My mother sent that to me.

It was mine.

Well, then,
we can send it back to her.

Or we can keep it.

Good.

What?

It has her name.

Sweetie, I'm sure there's a Sarah
at children's hospital.

Can you do this?

I'll take care of it.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

The patrol officers at the scene
called an ambulance for Mrs. Krohn,

and they placed her husband
under arrest.

Did the sergeant major
offer any explanation

for what had happened to his wife,
detective?

Yes. He said he thought
she'd been carjacked.

- Did the patrol officer see a carjacker?
- No.

There was nobody else in the alley.

But they did find

this brick.

Yes.

Our forensic laboratory found bits
of Mrs. Krohn's scalp embedded in it.

- It was a few feet from the victim.
- And a few feet from the defendant.

That's correct.

There were also several spots
of her blood on his jacket.

Thank you, detective.

Did you find fingerprints on the brick,
detective?

No. The defendant
was wearing gloves.

Were you wearing gloves
when you arrived at the scene?

Yes. It was cold.

So then there's nothing suspicious

about Sergeant Major Krohn
wearing gloves, is there?

It wasn't the gloves
that made us suspicious.

Was it the blood on the jacket? Didn't
he tell you, when he found his wife,

he bent over her
to feel if she was still breathing?

Couldn't he have gotten blood
on his jacket that way?

Well, that's one way.

Detective, didn't the sergeant major
tell the officers

he believed his wife had been
carjacked from a market in Dumfries?

Yes.

Now, isn't it true that somebody
has been abducting women

from parking lots
in the Baltimore-Washington area,

assaulting them,
and dumping them out of their cars?

It's happened three times
in the last seven months.

- Including this one?
- No.

Our carjacker stabs his victims.
He doesn't hit them with bricks.

And he always dumps them
in rural areas.

After abducting them
and stealing their cars,

which is consistent with this case.

Isn't it possible
he just changed some of the details?

Or somebody did a bad job of
imitating him to throw us off the scent.

Your Honour, would you instruct the
witness to answer the questions, sir?

Detective, please answer
the questions you're asked.

I think we've still managed
to get your drift, commander.

Detective, does anybody know
the whereabouts of Mrs. Krohn's car?

We're still looking.
We haven't found it.

Which is consistent with the carjacker
having stolen it and disposed of it.

- Yes.
- Detective,

if the officers had not called
an ambulance when they did,

at the urging of Sergeant Major Krohn,
would his wife be alive today?

The doctors say no.

Would the patrol officers
have seen her

if Sergeant Major Krohn
had not been kneeling over her

- in the headlights of his car?
- Probably not.

So if Sergeant Major Krohn
had not been there just then,

and the patrol officers
had not come by just then,

would she have died?

- Yes.
- Pretty good timing, wouldn't you say?

- Well, sometimes we catch a break.
- Sometimes somebody gives us one.

- Your Honour...
- Withdrawn.

Nothing further.

Redirect.

Has any major crime suspect
told you

that he was led to the scene of a crime
by a miracle from God?

- Objection. Relevance.
- I'll allow it.

Well, one guy
who killed his girlfriend

told me that Jesus helped him do it
because she was a sinner.

- Was that the truth?
- Jesus wasn't the one we convicted.

Detective, did you
or any of the other patrolmen

see anything unusual in the alley
where you found Mrs. Krohn?

- Like what?
- Celestial glowing?

Fluttering angels?
Images of a dead chaplain?

- Objection.
- Sustained.

Detective,
what did you see in the alley?

Dumpsters, condoms,
liquor bottles,

and him and his wife.

Pretty powerful stuff in there,
lieutenant.

Well, I didn't hit my wife with a brick.
Your client did.

- Fluttering angels, huh?
- Well, that is your defence,

- isn't it, commander?
- Not exactly.

Well, then tell me.

I'm interested, Father.
What is the theology here?

Well, the Church's position,

and I suppose now
Commander Rabb's,

is that it's not inconceivable
for a faithful servant of God,

ascended to heaven,
at God's right hand,

can intercede for a miracle
on behalf of a deserving soul.

Like a cure for a fatal illness?

- It happens.
- Saving a drowning man?

Helping little babies?

- Bud.
- What?

All Harriet and I needed to do
was pray to Walter Wiggins?

The lieutenant and his wife
recently lost a baby, Father.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Sergeant Major Krohn's wife
is worth saving, and our...?

Our baby daughter isn't?

Nobody can explain these things,
lieutenant.

Then why are you here, Father?

I started praying to Chaplain Wiggins
a couple years ago, sir.

And what led you to do that?

I had a friend
with a drinking problem,

and he prayed for the strength to stop,
and he got it.

Well, you don't always need a miracle
from God to stop drinking.

My friend did, sir.
He was in pretty bad shape.

Now, you knew Chaplain Wiggins
personally, didn't you?

- Yes, sir, in Vietnam.
- That must seem odd

to pray to somebody
who you used to drink beer with,

who would stand next to you in line
waiting for chow.

Well, there was always something
pretty special about the padre, sir.

You witnessed his last moments,
didn't you, sergeant major?

Yes, sir.

Helping dying men
after he was shot seven times.

Must've left a pretty powerful image
in your mind.

Yes, sir.

The...

The night that my wife was attacked,
that's the way he appeared to me, sir.

His helmet, his pack.
The way he was when he died.

Now, you realise, sergeant major,
that some people

are gonna find this story
hard to believe?

It happened, sir.

I'd never even been
to that part of Baltimore.

If he hadn't led me,
how would I have found her?

The prosecution says
that you took her there to kill her

and to dump her body.

I have no reason to kill her, sir.

I love my wife.
That's why I prayed for help to find her.

That's why it was granted.

Thank you, sergeant major.

Nothing further.

How did Chaplain Wiggins give you
signals to turn on the beltway?

Was it with hand gestures?

Or did this vision of yours
have flashing turn indicators?

- Objection. Argumentative.
- Overruled.

He just led me, sir. It's...

It's hard to explain.

Now, you say that you'd never been
to that part of Baltimore.

- But have you ever been to Baltimore?
- Yes, sir.

So you could've gotten to the city
on your own.

- Yes, sir.
- Sergeant major,

have you read any articles
in the newspaper

about the carjacker
that we've heard testimony about?

Yes, sir. That's why I was so worried
when my wife didn't come home.

And didn't those articles
give you the idea

to pretend that your wife
was a victim of a carjacking?

- No, sir.
- So you just went out looking for her

when she was late
coming home from the market?

That's right, sir.

Well, then why doesn't anybody
at the market remember seeing you?

Because
I didn't go to the market, sir.

The padre, what I saw,
led me to Baltimore.

Wait. Your wife is late
coming home from the market,

so you decide to go look for her.

But you don't look for her
at the market?

- That wasn't where I was led.
- How stupid do you think we are,

- sergeant major?
- Objection.

Sustained. Dial it back, lieutenant.

- My religion means something to me.
- Didn't you make up this story?

If you don't have faith,
you can't understand.

Aren't you the one
that tried to kill your wife?

I got there just in time to save her,

before she bled to death
inside her brain.

That was a miracle.

Miracles happen.

They are a sign of the power
and the presence of God.

That's what we believe,

and about a billion other Roman
Catholics around the world as well.

Your Honour, I renew my objection
to this line of questioning.

We're trying
to consider the facts here,

and miracles, by definition,
transcend the factual.

Not when they occur.

And whether one has occurred here

is exactly what we're supposed
to be discussing, Your Honour.

I'll let you run with it, commander,

as long as you keep a few degrees
south of the supernatural.

Aye, sir. Father O'R ourke,

do you take the existence of miracles
strictly on faith?

On faith? No, I don't.

My job as a postulator
is to investigate proposed saints.

- And the miracles attributed to them?
- Aye, that's right.

So it does, scientifically.

Most common miracles
are unexpected medical recoveries.

When one allegedly occurs,

we get the patient's
complete medical records,

interview doctors, collect x-rays,
slides of biopsies,

test results, things of that nature.

We have the whole package reviewed
by a panel of physicians who must find

that that recovery was not caused
by any medical treatment.

- And that makes it a miracle?
- Not necessarily.

Lymphoma and renal-cell cancer
cures, for example, don't qualify

since those diseases
have a high rate of natural remission.

Father, have any miracles
accepted by the Vatican

been attributed through prayer
to Chaplain Walter Wiggins?

Yes. Clay Norberg, age 7,
lay dying in a Toledo hospital

with a neuroblastoma
that had spread to his bones.

Drug and radiation treatment
had failed the boy,

and he slipped into a coma.

Now, his father, who had served
with Chaplain Wiggins,

prayed all night.

In the morning, Clay woke up,
the tumour was gone,

and there was no further sign
of the disease.

Clay's now a freshman in Notre Dame.
Plays trombone in the school band.

Now, what about
non-medical miracles, Father,

like the one we're discussing here?

In the eyes of the Church,
can they occur?

They have.

In 1949,
a cook in a Spanish orphanage

didn't have enough rice
to feed everybody who was hungry.

She prayed to John Massias,

a monk who'd been born in the village
in the 16th century

and was most revered there.

And the single pot of rice
overflowed for hours.

That miracle
was later verified in 1975,

and John Massias
was declared a saint.

So, what happened
to Sergeant Major Krohn

could have been a miracle?

Aye. An unusual one,
but so it could.

- Oh, sorry, honey.
- No problem.

- Can you believe this place?
- Yeah, full house.

I think we had more elbowroom
on that submarine.

Yeah. God,
15 days under the polar ice,

very close quarters.

So how's the case going, Harm?

Piece of cake. All I have to do
is prove that there's a God

and a dead Navy chaplain
named Walter Wiggins

is sitting by his side in heaven.

Piece of cake.

Ladies and gentlemen,

The Roches' train
has been delayed again. So...

I know. We expect them
within an hour or so.

Thank you.

Well, this is a natural case for Harm.
He's always believed in miracles.

He has?

Yeah, he believed his father
might be alive when no one else did.

He saw his father at least once
after his father died.

- You never told me that.
- Harm open up?

- That would be a miracle.
- Yeah, I'll pray to Saint Wiggins.

When you're talking to him,
you might ask him to send Mac...

Wedgwood china.

We're starting
to get our wish list together.

Oh, did you guys set a date?

Mic wants a formal wedding.

Sarah wants to get married
on a hillside

with a minister,
and two goats as witnesses.

Yeah, yeah. He wants to invite
half the population of Sydney.

You're the one
who says you miss Australia.

Mic.

Oh, I love The Roches.

Did they sing their a cappella
"Hallelujah Chorus"?

I used to sneak women
up to my dorm room, listen to that one.

- Father.
- I wasn't born a priest.

Commander, Father, this is Mr. Hamill.
He drove down from Wilmington.

You the one talking about
making Chaplain Wiggins a saint?

God makes the saints, Mr. Hamill.
The Church identifies them.

Well, I gotta tell you, Father,

the Church is barking
up the wrong tree on this one.

Father O'R ourke, is the defendant's
wife in the courtroom today?

I don't believe so.

She hasn't been here during this trial,
has she?

No, she's in the rehabilitation centre
recovering from her injury.

Well, if God granted a miracle
to save her,

why does she need rehabilitation?

Her doctors expect her
to make a full recovery.

- With the help of her doctors.
- Yes.

Father, on direct examination,

you stated that every medical miracle
is documented by expert physicians.

- That's right.
- Interesting.

How many people is St. Louis of Anjou
credited with raising from the dead?

Well, I don't know.

Twelve.
It's in a Catholic encyclopaedia.

Are these miracles documented
by expert physicians?

That was the 13th century.

The Church
had different procedures then.

Well, St. Louis of Anjou
is still credited with the 12 miracles.

Once a saint's been canonised,
it's not revocable.

And you're sure that, some day,
Saint Walter Wiggins

will be in that holy company?

No.

No? Why not?

Well, I've received new evidence

that puts Chaplain Wiggins' cause
in doubt.

- What evidence?
- Objection.

Counsel is asking the witness
to repeat what someone has told him.

- It's hearsay.
- This is your witness, commander.

And I've given you
a great deal of leeway. Overruled.

What evidence, Father?

A new witness to the battle
where Chaplain Wiggins died.

- What is he talking about?
- We'll discuss it later.

He said that Chaplain Wiggins
was panicked,

that he was crying,
and that he lost his faith.

So, what about ministering to the dead
and wounded?

This is just one witness.
Others contradict him.

Tell us what
the one witness said, Father?

That Chaplain Wiggins
threw down his gear.

He tried to run back
to the surviving Marines.

That he stopped by the dead
and the dying

to use them for cover.

Well, if that's true, Father,

then Walter Wiggins can't be a saint,
can he?

No.

And if he isn't a saint, could he have
performed the alleged miracle?

No, he could not have been
responsible for any miracle.

Which makes Sergeant Major Krohn
a liar and a would-be murderer.

- Objection. Calls for a conclusion.
- Withdrawn.

I'm finished.

That can't be true, sir.

It was a battlefield, sergeant major.
It was dark.

People see different things.

I saw what the padre did, sir,
and he was not running scared.

It's hurt our case.

If there's anything else,
any other way you wanna go...

I did not try to kill my wife.

Who'd the priest hear this from,
anyway?

His name's Hamill. Randy Hamill.
He was in your platoon.

Hamill.

Was he there?

Was he in a position
to see the chaplain?

Better than any of us, sir.

He was with us for a month.

He was being transferred out
because he was a coward.

Maybe I can use that.

- Prosecution...
- But not that day, sir.

That day, he saved our lives.

Mr. Hamill, do you have a grudge
against Sergeant Major Krohn?

No, sir.

Do you have, or did you have, a grudge
against Chaplain Walter Wiggins?

No, sir. I always liked the padre.

So then why did you decide
to come forward now?

Well, it was disgraceful
what he did that night, sir.

And then when I saw in the papers
about this trial

and the idea of making him a saint...

I'm Catholic, sir.
No way he's a saint.

And you're sure
of what you saw that night?

Yes, sir. Well, when we got
to the village, and the shooting started,

I jumped into an empty hooch
with the padre.

The gooks never saw us.

So there was no reason
for either one of you to leave?

Well, I didn't think so.

I mean, the enemy was hiding
right behind the hooch, right next to us.

I mean, we could hear them:
Firing, reloading, talking.

The padre just panicked and ran out.

- To save the wounded and dying?
- No, sir.

He was not performing his duties
as chaplain,

or even as a Christian.
He was just running away.

After you saw that, what'd you do?

Well, one of the men that was killed,
Malkovich, he was carrying an M79.

I ran out, picked it up,

and fired a couple of grenades at
the spot where we'd heard the gooks.

Which cleared the way for you
and your squad to escape.

That's right, sir.

And for that action
you were awarded the Silver Star,

- weren't you?
- Yes, sir.

Thank you, Mr. Hamill.

Mr. Hamill, by your testimony,

Chaplain Wiggins
left the place of safety,

ran across exposed ground
during a fierce firefight.

Is this the act of a coward?

Well, I guess he figured
it was just a matter of time

before the enemy figured out
we were in that hooch,

and we were dead.

- You stayed.
- For a while.

I took off my pack

and pulled out some ammunition while
I was trying to figure out what to do.

- You took off your pack?
- Yes, sir.

I didn't see any need
to be slowed down

by C rations and a shelter hat.

Now, you told Father O'R ourke that
Chaplain Wiggins took off his pack too.

- Yeah, that's right, sir.
- But Sergeant Major Krohn testified

that Chaplain Wiggins
was wearing his pack.

Well, that's not what I saw, sir.

Mr. Hamill,
you were in a unique position

to help your squad that night,
weren't you?

What do you mean, sir?

Well, you were near the fallen man
with the M79.

You heard the enemy.
You knew where they were.

Yet you did nothing.

Well, at first, no, sir.

Now, isn't it a fact, Mr. Hamill,
that, until that night,

you were considered
by your fellow Marines to be a coward?

Yes, sir. Seemed I wasn't cut out
to be a Marine.

And when your squad was ambushed,
you stayed hidden in the hooch

while your fellow Marines
were being killed,

and you had the means
to protect them, didn't you?

I didn't have the 79.
It was out in the open.

It was a miracle
I wasn't killed trying to get it.

You saw the chaplain flee in fear
at a time when you were feeling fear,

isn't that right?

I suppose.

But seeing him act like that,

I got so disgusted, I stopped
being afraid and just did what I did.

After you saw what he did.

- Yeah.
- You saw your cowardice

acted out in the chaplain,
and it motivated you to overcome it.

Objection, Your Honour.

Is Commander Rabb now testifying
as an expert psychiatrist?

I'm only suggesting
he didn't really see the chaplain...

But he saw himself?
I mean, why stop there?

- Maybe he saw the Easter bunny.
- Lieutenant, you're out of line.

I apologise, Your Honour.
This is stretching things to the absurd

if Commander Rabb is suggesting
that Chaplain Wiggins

miraculously gave Mr. Hamill
some kind of battlefield vision...

It may just have been
psychological projection.

If the prosecution
wants to call it a second miracle...

Who said there was a first miracle?
Just you.

Your own witness backtracked
on the stand when he said that...

That's enough. Both of you.

- Enter.
- Excuse me, admiral.

They called back from Berkeley, sir.
They said it's nothing special.

Just the standard emission
from the Binion-Pratt pulsar,

a binary source
in the Sculptor group of galaxies.

- Which means the signals left there...
- Five million years ago, sir.

Thanks, Tiner.

I was really hoping, sir.

Thanks, Tiner.

Aye, sir.

Did we have one miracle here?
Or did we have two miracles here?

Or did we have no miracles here?

First, we should consider
the evidence.

A man who has fought with his wife.

A man who has a history
of striking his wife.

A man who has the means
and opportunity

to attempt to kill his wife.

A man whose story

as to how he happened to be
at the scene of the crime

makes absolutely no sense.

Unless you subscribe to his story
of a supernatural power at work.

Many of us are religious people.
Many of us believe in a powerful God.

But we're being asked to believe
in a convenient God,

who acts not so much
to save a stricken woman,

but to give her husband an alibi.

Making God
the metaphysical equivalent

of the dog who ate the homework.

Now, you're sworn
to consider the evidence presented

in the light
of your own common sense.

Well, common sense
only offers one conclusion:

Sergeant Major Jarvis Krohn
is guilty as charged.

Moses parts the Red Sea.

The son of God
turns water into wine.

Are they fairy tales?

Have the billions
who believe them been deluded?

There's no hard evidence that
makes Sergeant Major Krohn a liar.

There is no eyewitness
to the attack on his wife.

No fingerprints. No trail of blood.

There is a vicious carjacker
on the loose.

The victim's car
has not been located

despite the best efforts
of law enforcement to find it.

And it is uncontested

that because Sergeant Major Krohn
appeared on the scene

at that particular moment,
his wife's life was saved.

Is it a miracle?

In our line of work,
we see miracles all the time.

Bullets that should miss, that hit.
Bullets that should hit, that miss.

Ordinary human beings
transformed into heroes

making unimaginable sacrifices
for their country and their fellow man.

The world is a mysterious place.

Now, we would make it
a poorer place

if we dismissed everything about it
we didn't understand.

You don't have to believe
to a certainty

in what Sergeant Major Krohn
is saying.

You just have to believe
that it might be true.

- Did they blink? Smile? Laugh?
- Not that I noticed.

- Sir.
- And you kept a straight face?

I take it you find this humourous?

You told them
the miracle really happened?

I said it might've happened.

I think you either believe
in these things, or you don't.

- And you don't?
- I don't know.

- Renee, you just...
- Harm, this one is weird.

Admit it.

Okay, how about
a nice everyday miracle?

- Child is cured of...
- Mac and Brumby.

- Excuse me?
- Two people, Harm.

From opposite ends
of the earth, literally.

Both independent, all grown up,
set in their ways.

And they find each other.
And now they're gonna become one.

I'll tell you what the miracle is.

That anybody would wanna
spend time with Brumby.

Yes, it is.

Why do I get the feeling
we've suddenly changed the subject?

Two strangers. One couple.

- Do you think it could happen again?
- I don't know.

Rabb.

I'll be right there.

Jury's in.

I gotta go.

I wonder who he prayed to for that.

The accused and counsel will rise.

Announce your findings.

Sergeant Major Jarvis Krohn,
United States Marine Corps,

this court martial finds you,

on the charge and specification
of attempted murder,

guilty.

I thank the members
for their service.

We will reconvene for sentencing
tomorrow at 0900.

I'm so sorry.

I don't understand.

You explained to them about Hamill.
You made it clear what happened.

I guess it was a lot
for them to accept.

What about you, Father?
You see it, don't you?

I was considering whether or not

to recommend closing out
Chaplain Wiggins' cause.

But I'm not. It's going forward.

Well, sir,
you won the more important one.

- Sergeant major, you understand...?
- Don't worry about me, sir.

The padre saved my wife's life.

Now all I need is somebody
to find the man who attacked her.

Her car will show up,
or credit cards. Something.

- It will happen.
- Won't even take a miracle.

No, sir.

But if it does...

You didn't just say that
to cheer him up,

- did you, Father?
- No, commander.

You may have failed
to convince that jury,

but you've convinced this one.

You're gonna make
Chaplain Wiggins a saint.

Well, call me in a hundred years,

because that's about
how long it takes.
