Previously onThe Code...

My lawyer's going to
ask you to testify.

He thinks I can win
a wrongful death suit.

If you go ahead with this,

there is no win.

You are tainted the moment
you give a deposition.

Come here.TIFFANY:
The national party

has taken an interest
in this race.

We need to talk strategy
going forward.

Matty, you are mentally
ill and you are running
for public office.

Nona, everything okay?
Oh, my God, we're having a baby.

What's gonna happen to my son?VALENTINA:
Some fight,

some never come
all the way back.

So you don't want that,
I don't want this.

Where does that leave us?

95 arrests. 95 Marine arrests

and three accidental deaths
can be attributed

to the abuse of prescription
drugs so far this year.

And that doesn't include
NJPs, discharges,

and who knows how many other
associated crimes.

But as an NCIS field agent,

you probably know more about
the opioid crisis than I do.

Sure. When a narcotics case
comes in, my job entails

tracking down dealers
and busting them.

Which is how you came across
the defendant.

Objection.
The prosecution is implying

the defendant is guilty
of distribution,

which is what we're here
to argue in the first place.

Noted.
Captain Abraham, you may want

to reconsider your phrasing
if this case advances to trial.

Copy that, Your Honor.
Agent Chong,

how did you meet
the defendant?

We'd heard rumors
that someone was selling oxy

at an off-base bar,

the Drunken Ox
in Garrisonville.

So we headed down there
on a Saturday night

and turned the place.And did you find the dealer?

Emery Cleary had a bottle...Objection.

It's an Article 32 hearing,
we're talking evidence.

You don't need to cut me off
at every pass.

I'll rephrase.

Did you find someone

with oxycodone that night?

Staff Sergeant Emery Cleary

had 214 pills on him.

[whistles]
Seems the possession charge

we're debating here
is essentially

a forgone conclusion.

Come on, Captain. It seemed like
you wanted the leg workout.

JUDGE SOLDIER:
Captain Abraham,
if you could stop antagonizing

the defense attorney?

No further questions,
Your Honor.

Captain Dobbins, your witness.

Agent Chong, when you say
"distribution," you mean...

Selling drugs for cash.

Yet you found no other Marines
at the Drunken Ox

with drugs, correct?That's true.

And my client did not have
an unusual amount

of cash on him that evening.

Only... $35,
if I remember correctly?

It was early.
We might've caught him

before he made his first sale.

Or you might've apprehended him
without cause.

Did you know
Staff Sergeant Cleary

is a combat veteran?

He has a prescription for
oxycodone to manage chronic pain

from a traumatic brain injury.[door closes]

Sorry to interrupt,
Judge Soldier.

We may have new evidence
to submit.

Your Honor,
this is a bit disturbing.

This video made the rounds on
social media this morning.

It's one of those
overdose videos.

JUDGE SOLDIER:
Someone passes a person

dying in a car,
and they make a video

instead of calling for help?
This is a thing?

The Marine behind the wheel is
Lance Corporal Jack Stanhope.

He's in Staff Sergeant Cleary's
rec softball league.

And his death is
being attributed

to an accidental overdose
of oxycodone.

I fail to see how this connects
to my client's case.

Yeah, it's a tangled web.

Give us a day and we'll
have the whole story.

Request for a continuance,
Your Honor.

Request granted.

Good morning,
Captain Abraham.

Mr. Ahmadi,
welcome home.

Thank you, sir. All it took was
complete and utter capitulation.

Welcome to the Marine Corps.

I have to say,
I pictured the moment

of your return
a little differently.

Have you seen the end of An Officer and a Gentleman?

Of course. The protagonist
picks up Debra Winger

and carries her away
from her humdrum job.

So... in your fantasy,
are you carrying me

across the factory floor
or is it the other way around?

It's not a fantasy, Rami.

It's just a scenario
you play out to occupy your mind

in otherwise idle moments?

Touché.

This is the coroner's report on
Lance Corporal Jack Stanhope.

How did you know
I was looking for this?

It's my job to know.

NCIS also found

this pill bottle
in the center console.Excellent.

If they find Staff Sergeant
Cleary's prints,

we've got him
for distribution.
Mm.

We might throw a negligent
homicide charge in

while we're at it.

On the off-chance Staff Sergeant
Cleary was smart enough

to wear gloves while he was
bottling his product,

I'd still like to build a case
the old-fashioned way.

We should look up
Jack Stanhope's next of kin.

The widow lives in Hampton Oaks.[Abe humming
"Up Where We Belong"]

She is also a Marine.

Excellent.

If you happen to
see Lieutenant Li,

let her know we're headed
to Hampton Oaks.

[resumes humming]

Catchy tune, sir.

It gets stuck in my head
when I see you.

[scoffs][continues humming]

Oh, Major Ferry. Nona called.
She asked me to remind you

that your first
ultrasound appointment

is rescheduled
for 1100 Thursday.

She called me already.
Texted, too.

We're gonna see the baby's
heartbeat for the first time.

I'm not gonna miss that.

I think she wants
to be positive.

So she needed you?

I didn't say that, sir.

You never come out
and say anything, Rami.

You rule us all with
the dark art of implication.

Speaking of dark arts,
they need you in New York

to game plan for your brother's
fundraiser by COB tomorrow.

Got it.
I put times for all
our scheduled flights

on your desk-- Excuse me.

MAYA:
Welcome home, Rami.

TREY: Tell Nona
I'll be there.
[chuckles]

You're not at
your desk, ma'am.

I'm ducking my phone.

Um, the coroner's report

for Lance Corporal Stanhope
confirms an opioid overdose.

Captain Abraham wants
to question the next of kin.

Would you like to forward
your desk line to me?

I can be a filter.

Oh, I wouldn't subject you
to that, Rami.

You try canceling a wedding
two months out.

See what kind of calls come in.

Adam, you coming?

ADAM:
Give me a minute!

GLENN:
Your PT starts in 50 minutes.

[sighs]

ADAM:
Yes?

I'm fine.

Come in if you're coming.

Sorry. It's just...

I can't get it on.

It hurts.

It's not supposed to hurt.

I'll call Val.

Don't. It's just sore.

I can tell her when I get in.

Do you want me to
help you put it on?

I'm 24 years old.

I don't need my mom
to help me get dressed.

[loud thud, clattering,
Adam grunts]

[Adam grunting, groaning]

I've got it.

They train us to get up.

Let me see your arm.I'm fine.

Lieutenant. Your arm.

[groans, exhales]

You psyched for SERE School?

Sure. Of course.

You did it, right?
Yeah.

But you'll kill it.

And you're okay
on the other stuff?

You haven't really
said anything since...

Uh... I'm doing the job,
aren't I?

I wasn't suggesting
otherwise.
[sighs]

They say it's better
to break someone's heart

than it is to get
your heart broken.

"They"?I keep picking up my phone.

I want to call Bard, you know,
see how he's doing.

It's so weird
that I can't do that.

[phone ringing]

[Harper clucks tongue]

I thought you guys weren't
supposed to be talking.

Well, I'm a witness
in her lawsuit.

We can talk,
we just can't...

You know.

Give me a second?

Do you know how to roller-skate?Hey, Danny. I wasn't
expecting you to...

Mom says you're busy.

That's why you haven't
been coming over.

Kind of, yeah.But you're not gonna miss

my birthday party, right?
We're going to Rollerama.

ALEX [nearby]:
Hey, are you using my phone?

Hey. Danny was just inviting me
to her party.

I told you,
Uncle Abe has to work.

Say good-bye, okay?Bye, Uncle Abe.

Bye.

Sorry about that.

She's just struggling

to understand everything
right now.

Yeah. I-I gotta go, okay?

Tell her I'll make it up to her.

Will do. Bye.

I had my nails painted like that
on our first date.

Jack loved it.

So I still do 'em like that
when I have a few days off.

Did you meet at work?

We're both at Headquarters.

Jack worked in payroll

and he had some trouble
with his software one day,

so they sent me in
to sort it out.

I still can't believe
that he was taking oxy.

You had no idea?

Then you can't say whether
he bought those pills

from Emery Cleary?

I wish I could help.

Jack would go to
the bar sometimes

with the softball guys,
but I honestly have no clue

which one Emery Cleary is.

I'm sorry, PFC Stanhope,
but your husband didn't exhibit

any signs of abusing opioids?

You must have noticed
some change in behavior.

My ex is in prison now.

He was, um... a rough guy.

W-Was Jack always in a good
mood? A-Absolutely not.

But I wanted to believe
he was a good guy, you know?

I kind of needed him
to be a good guy.

Let's hope she's being honest.

If she knew
her husband was using,

she could be
court-martialed, too.

[ringtone plays]:
♪ Love lifts us up
where we belong... ♪

Rami.
Uplifting to hear from you.

Thank you, Captain.

It pains me to damage
that open heart of yours.

Bad news?

Bad news and, frankly,
weird news.

Staff Sergeant Cleary's prints

were not on the bottle
of oxycodone found

in Lance Corporal
Jack Stanhope's car.

Well, so much for an
obvious connection.

I assume that's the bad news?

RAMI:
The strange part is...

no one's prints
were on the bottle.

Not even Stanhope's?Not even Stanhope's.

So Lance Corporal Stanhope
swallowed a lethal dose

of oxy... without once
touching the bottle?

I'll leave the follow-up
in your expert hands.

If he didn't touch the bottle,

how did that oxy
get in his system?

It could be Lance Corporal
Stanhope wasn't a victim

of negligent homicide.

If he never touched that bottle,
the most likely explanation

is somebody straight-up
murdered him.

♪

Somebody slipped
Lance Corporal Stanhope

enough oxycodone to kill him,

and planted that prescription
bottle in his car?

Either that, or
Jack Stanhope wore gloves

while he took his
recreational opioids.

Stanhope's food, his car...

That's a lot of access
for one killer.

Like his wife for this?Is the spouse ever a bad bet?

Fair point,
but I'd like to see a motive.

You're welcome.

Who's this?
I wouldn't want to
rob you of the pleasure

of reading the name yourself."Garth Bader."

MAYA:
Lance Corporal Stanhope

broke that guy's jaw in
a bar fight nine months ago.

You think he killed Stanhope?Garth Bader has

two assault convictions
on his record.

I wouldn't rule it out.

Clearly, my client
is just a combat vet

using prescription medications
to manage his pain.

Let's see
what Garth Bader has to say.

Staff Sergeant Cleary
sells oxy to Marines.

This doesn't change that.

You're welcome.

REYBURN:
That's a nasty fall, Marine.

Your arm's gonna be

immobile for two months.

I don't understand
what happened.

They spent days
fitting me with that leg.

Why can't I get it to fit?

We see this more often
than we'd like,

especially with
above-the-knee amputation.

The residual limb changes shape
in the early going.

It's not much,
but these prosthetics

are calibrated
to the millimeter.

So the temporary leg they built,
it's just no good anymore?

They may be able to get it
working with gel liners.

But it's possible
you'll need to be fitted

for a whole new test socket.

So my rehab's on hold
for, what-- months?

Um, there are things
you can still be working on.

Strengthening exercises...

But I can't get
back on my feet?

This will put that back some.

My son wants to get
back to his unit

as soon as he can.Of course.

The lack of control over
the timeline-- it's often one

of the most frustrating things
for our patients.

You incurred some trauma to the
residual limb during the fall.

We're going to keep you at the
clinic till everything settles,

monitor the situation.I'm back to in-patient?

For how long?I wish I could say for sure.

GARTH:
I mean, yeah.

I got into it with that guy.

All right, it started
when he made fun of my name.

Garth Bader?

Look, I've been in plenty
of fights, all right?

My record's 36 and two.

You keep track
of your record?

But I'm past
all that now.

I'm doing the steps.

Which steps?

EA.

It's like AA, but for people
with anger issues, all right?

I was court-ordered into
the program 18 months ago.

So, you can'tfight?

I can't punch a wall,
I can't punch a car,

I can't punch a face.

I-I can't even
talk trash.

That's a relapse.

So you got into an argument
with Jack Stanhope,

and then you just stood there
while he broke your jaw?

Look, I couldn't fight him.

But I can't just let him
hit on my girl, either.

I thought
he made fun of your name.

He did both.

Look, Stanhope OD'd
yesterday morning, right?

Well, I couldn't have done it.

I was at a meeting
with 20 other ragers.

Can anyone confirm that?

Well, it's Emotions Anonymous,

but I'll get you some numbers.

HARPER:
Your...

sort-of fight with Jack Stanhope
was nine months ago, right?

Lance Corporal Stanhope had
been married for over a year.

That guy Jack was around
that bar all the time,

and he didn't act married.

I have one... maybe be two
friends that went home with him.

Home to Hampton Oaks,
where he lives with his wife?

My girlfriend said he has
a place in Fredericksburg.

HARPER: So Jack
Stanhope signs a lease

on his own bachelor pad
two months after he got married.

Yeah, right after his extra
marriage pay kicked in,

and according to the
building's super,

he had women in
and out of there.

You marry this guy,
he's gonna save you, and then,

one day, you make the mistake
of looking at a bank statement,

or reading the wrong e-mail.

Looks like
Nina Stanhope didhave a motive

to kill her husband.

Feeling better
about being single?

[knocking]

Uh, sorry to interrupt.

Captain,
do you have a relationship

with General Winston Geiger?

Uh, he served
with my dad in the '80s.

He was around our house
in San Diego sometimes.

Well, he'd like to see you.

Winston Geiger is the CO
of MARFORPAC.

They're in Hawaii,
last I checked.

He's here. He wants to see you.

Is he in the conference room?

Actually, General Geiger would
like you to meet him outside.

General Geiger.

Captain.

An honor, sir.

It's-it's been,
what-- 25 years?

I hate coming East.

The sunshine spoils
you when you're old.

Have you been well, sir?

You're party to a lawsuit

that aims to challenge
the Feres Doctrine.

I wouldn't say
I'm party to it, sir.

They plan
to call me as a witness.

Feres Doctrine keeps us from
getting sued by our own Marines.

If it gets flushed,

we're gonna have to hire a
whole regiment full of lawyers

just to sort through
the subpoenas.

I have no ideological stance
on the merits of the lawsuit.

Well, you may not have
any ideological stance,

but the institution
you're committed

to serving sure as hell does.

This can't happen.

You need to get
yourself out of this.

This case is being discussed.

Youare being discussed.

Discussed by who?

These folks...

They don't know
I'm here, Captain.

And they absolutely
would not be happy about it.

Consider yourself warned.

MAN:
What do I do? That's seriously
your first question?

Oh, very New York City.

I don't usually ask,
but something tells me

you have an interesting answer.

I'm sorry to disappoint,

but I'm not currently
holding down a paying job.

Mm. I don't believe you.

I am a contender to be
the next state senator

representing Winston-Salem
and environs,

but nobody's paying me for that.

Not what I would have guessed.

You're a long way
from North Carolina.

Fund-raiser. Seems like there's
a lot of rich folks here.

Sorry. Traffic was brutal.

Ah, it's okay. I'm
the first person here.

Krista doesn't believe that
I'm from Winston-Salem.

Tribeca. Maybe Chelsea.

Hmm. Upper West Side
when I was here.

I am outrageously
gay, though.

Figured. You're too good-looking
to be available.

That's on me.I... I think we're okay there.

You doing okay?

Yeah. I'm good.

I'm not having any delusions

about being under surveillance.

None that can't
be managed, anyway.

Look, I'm good, kid.

I have my list of
things not to say.

[inhales deeply]

Eli and Yates don't open
their apartment very often.

So, it's on all of us
to capitalize on that.

Maya, I'll tee you up,

but then, I'll need you
to introduce your brother.

[slightly distorted]:
I'm sure they're fantastic.

We're gonna have
a very energizing...

[indistinct whisperings]

Maya? You have remarks?

Um, yes. I can e-mail them
to you if want to take a look.

That would be helpful.
Thank you.

And, of course, you'll need
to adjust your stump speech

to the audience.

Manhattan
multimillionaires...

[indistinct whispering,
soft, high-pitched tone]

Yes, of course.

I used to work on Wall Street,
so we should be good.

I'm sorry. Would you mind?

Would I mind what?
MAYA:
Matt.

Your hearing aid.

I'm sorry. I'd really feel
more comfortable if you could,

you know, take it out.[people gasping]

Sorry. Now, what
did you just say?

I am so sorry.
I'm-I'm not feeling well.

You're sick?Um... [clears throat]
I have food allergies.

I think maybe the dip
at the bar.

Uh, we can talk tomorrow.
Matt, please?

I really need to get back
to my room now.

Jack leased that less than
60 days after he married you.

Why?

He was... he was stepping out?

If that's true,

then why this man cave?

Couldn't he just
go to a motel?

HARPER:
As we understand it,

Jack was... prolific.

We went through his e-mail.

He used a burner
to correspond with the landlord,

but he'd forget which account
he was logged into sometimes.

Sometimes the invoices came in
to his regular inbox.

You guys were married.

Did you have access
to that account?

You think I did this?

Guys, I've known
about that apartment

since the day Jack
signed the lease.

I've known about the women.

I promise you, I don't
care about any of it.

Now, I'm gonna
get in trouble

for telling you this,
but I'll take it

over being a
murder suspect.

Jack and I had a
contract marriage.

TREY:
Contract marriage?

Explain that.

HARPER:
For enlisted Marines,
marriage pays.

It's an extra $20,000 a year,
minimum, in housing allowance

and added salary.

[sighs]

Obviously, neither of you
have had a pregnant spouse.

Colonel Turnbull should
be back tomorrow.

But if you're asking me
what to do in the meantime,

one of the parties to the
fraudulent marriage is dead.

The other admits the scam.

Refer it to Nina Stanhope's CO

and get back
on the murder.Nina and Jack Stanhope

both work at HQ,
H and S Battalion.

Their unit has seen a 50% surge
in enlisted marriages

in the past 14 months.

Those paper pushers are
pairing off for pay.

Exactly. Now say that
six times fast.

You think the CO knows?We're not sure, but

this admin sergeant, Jacob
Kalb-- he signed as a witness

to 13 different marriages
since the surge began.

Oh. Sounds like Sergeant Kalb
found himself a side hustle.

ABE:
Make the matches,

sign the papers,
take a cut of the extra pay.

If this is connected
to the murder

of Jack Stanhope,
figure out how.

If it isn't, sit
on Kalb anyway.

This surge in marriage
has a price tag of, what?

Quarter of a million
dollars so far this year. Mm.

[upbeat music playing]

Oh.

Two more of those.

Thank you.

Feeling better,
Captain Dobbins?

Um, yeah, it passes
quickly when I'm lucky.

You drink here often?

I came looking for you.

I had this uncle--
Uncle Pete.

I loved him.

One Sunday, Uncle Pete
came over for dinner.

We were listening
to the Jackson Five.

In the middle of the song,

Uncle Pete told me

Michael Jackson could see
into his mind.

That's how I learned
Uncle Pete believed

the Jackson Five were singing
about his thoughts.

Did he believe that
the week before?

I have no idea.

But... two Sundays after that,

Uncle Pete accused me
of being a witch.

Six months after that,

we had to change the locks.

I don't know where
Uncle Pete is now. It...

broke my heart.

It still breaks my heart.

I'm sorry.

Your brother can't run.

Matty doesn't have
schizophrenia.

It's called
"delusional disorder."

It's more localized.

I'm glad to hear that,
I truly am.

He still can't run.

[sighs]

[quietly]:
I know

I'm happy to talk to him.

But it should probably be you.

[sighs]

Yeah.

It should be me.

It's so cool.
Thanks, Uncle Abe.

I know you like building stuff.

Will you make it with me?

I'll try, okay?
I'm sorry I missed your party.

Danny, I already let you stay up
to open up Uncle Abe's present.

It's bedtime.

Use your reading light, okay?

Don't wake your sister.Okay, Mom. Good night.

Good night, kid.

Well, thanks for coming.

Nobody followed you?

I-I can't believe I just
asked that question.

I did get a visit...

from the commander of Marine
Corps Forces, Pacific, today.

My dad knew him.

General Geiger told me to stop
cooperating as a witness.

Or else?

He didn't say.

Hey, I've been thinking.

Like you always said, this
case is gonna take years.

[sighs]: And... we can't be
together while it's happening.

I mean, we can...

[laughs]: sneak around,
like we've been doing,

but we can't have
something real.

You can't be a part of Danny's
life or Maggie's, and...

Is it worth it?

Losing this?

You're thinking
about dropping the case?

I'm not going through with
this because of the money.

I-I'm doing it
because of Jason.

But Jason's gone.

What we had, what
we were building,

I want it back, Abe.

All of it.

I haven't made my
mind up or anything.

It's just...

yeah, like I said, something
I was thinking about.

Val will be in for PT

first thing tomorrow.

She wants you back on the horse.

Copy that.

And I will come by
for at least the morning.

You should go to
work. I'm fine.

I'll get to fine.

Seriously.

Live your life.

Okay.

I'll come by... end of day?

I don't know how
to do this.

I-I want...

to take some
of the pain you're in

and make it mine...

but I don't know how...

and I...

Seems it doesn't
work like that.

I-I see you here...

and I wish
so many things for you,

and I don't know how
to do any of them.

[crying]: And I'm not used
to feeling that way.

And I hate it.

So I'm just trying to focus

on the next thing
that they tell us to do.

You will get better.

You will feel better.

You'll make...

you'll make new plans.

And you will get back
to your unit.

Mom...

the reason I was pushing
myself so hard in rehab...

it's not so I can
get back to my unit.

I want to get out of here so I
can take the medical separation.

[laughs]

You're... leaving the Marines?

You know what I think
about at night?

How many people just like me...

have done a tour in this bed?

[chuckles]:
I was four years old
when we started

fighting Afghanistan.

How many legs
have people like me given up?

How many hands are gone?

How many...
brains that don't work?

Did you read
that the president's talking

about total withdrawal?

There's different projections.The Taliban's

gonna be cutting people's
heads off in downtown Kabul

inside of six months.

My leg...

all the other body parts

we threw onto that bonfire...

none of it meant anything.

I don't want any part of it.

Not anymore.

TREY:
Colonel.

Good to see you,
Colonel Turnbull.

Can I brief you
on yesterday?

Uh...

give me 15 minutes.

Everything
all right, ma'am?

Adam's fine.
I'll talk to you shortly.

Recognize the name
of the witness?

I'm a popular guy.You signed for 13 marriages

in the past
year and a half.

What do you want from me?
People have been marrying

for money since
the dawn of time.

I'm sorry, did you just admit

to arranging these marriages?

You got me.

[chuckles]
Sergeant Kalb,
your signature

on these certificates
constitutes

a false official statement.

That's 13 charges
under Article 107.

You don't seem
especially worried.

If you know about the marriages,

I figure it's
because you're looking into

what happened to Jack Stanhope.

If you slap my wrist

on the matchmaking,
I can help you there.

[chuckles]

You know something
about what happened

to Lance Corporal Stanhope?

I know a lot more
than "something," Captain.

I know who killed him.

ABE:
Lieutenant.

Show Major Ferry
what we learned.

Her name is Kimber Spratt.

We think she may have killed
Jack Stanhope.

Lance Corporal Stanhope
would share the details

of his conquests
with Jacob Kalb.

Kalb told us about her.

You told me
Lance Corporal Stanhope

was seeing a few
different women. Why her?

Uh, because Stanhope died
from an overdose

of prescription meds;
Ms. Spratt here

just happens to work
as a pharmacist.

Ms. Spratt is
obviously a civilian,

so if she is the killer,
we can hand the whole thing off

to the Stafford County
Sheriff's Office.

Who do we work with
in Stafford County?

Usually Toby Conrad.

"Call of Duty" Conrad?

Have fun with that.
[chuckles]

Why "Call of Duty"?

Detective Conrad considers

working in a suburban
sheriff's office

to be roughly the equivalent
of joining the Corps.

He drags his feet if he
thinks you feel otherwise.

♪

[ship's horn blowing]

Hey.

Why'd you want
to meet here?

Dad used to take us
to this spot

when he worked
in New York.

Remember?

Sure.

Said it was his favorite view
of his favorite city.

I called...

Tiffany Dixon-Green
this morning.

We should probably
talk some strategy

before tonight, yeah?

Have you heard from her?

Yeah.

It's off, isn't it?

There isn't gonna
be a fund-raiser.

I didn't tell her, Matty.

About you.[exhales]

She had it in her head
by the time she came to see me.

So she'll just tell everyone
about me if I stay in the race?

[exhales]

So I guess that's it.

[wry chuckle]

I'm so sorry.

I'm getting worse, aren't I?

Matty.

You're gonna be okay.

You're gonna be
better than okay.

You're the smartest
person I know,

and there's so much
that you can still do.

Just not this.

I know. Thanks.

I'll figure something out.

I should, um...

You're leaving?

Yeah. Got to get back
to North Carolina.

Talk to the volunteers.

Well, um... maybe stay tonight?

I hate to think about you alone.

When am I gonna see you again?

We'll plan a visit.

See you.

Bye.

Captain Abraham.

Good to see you, sir.Detective Conrad.

This is my cocounsel,
Lieutenant Li.

Nice to meet you,
Lieutenant.

Just another day
in uniform, right?

You're wearing a suit.

You get the idea.

ABE:
Kimber Spratt?

Yes?

What? No, I loved Jack.

[chuckles]: We were going
to get married, actually.

From what we understand,

he said that
to a lot of women.No.

I mean, yeah, Jack was a player,

but I knew all about it.

He was ready
to leave that all behind.

We were going to apply

for a license and everything
soon as he got divorced.

He told you about Nina?

Of course.

We didn't have
any secrets.

ABE:
You can see where
we'd be curious, though.

The guy had a penchant for lying

and no less
than a dozen girlfriends,

one of whom
just happens

to distribute the medication
that killed him.

I couldn't have dispensed
this medication.

Those are the big daddy pills.

160 milligrams.

They haven't manufactured
those for years.

The only way I could get
my hands on those pills

is to buy them on the street
just like anybody else.

Sorry, guys.

Hey, maybe it was one of
the other girlfriends.

You're gonna get
the murder suspect to ring up

your tooth whitening strips?

She's not a murder
suspect anymore.

[knock on door]

Hey. Should-should you be here?

I've been thinking
about last night.

You told me you were thinking
about dropping the case.

I never told you to do it,
and, uh, I should have.

I didn't think about this.

I-I... I didn't
think about Danny.

I didn't think about us.

Whatever we are, what...

whatever we can
make of this...

I want it back, too.
All of it.

So, if you're still where
you were last night,

I think you should do it.

Let's see who we are
without this lawsuit

hanging over our heads.

I'm going to Dennis Swillce's
office on Monday.

I can tell him then.

[chuckles softly]

[humming "Up Where We Belong"]

Good morning,
Captain Abraham.

I hope you're not humming that
as a way to summon me.

Actually, I wasn't
thinking about you at all.

[hums]I see. A good night, then?

Wouldn't you like to know.

What can I do for
you, Rami? [hums]

Uh, Lieutenant Li respectfully
requests that you meet her

at the Stafford County
Sheriff's Office.

Apparently, there's
a potential breakthrough

in the murder
of Lance Corporal Stanhope.

The narcotics division arrested
a drug dealer last night.

And we're driving over
to congratulate them?

This particular dealer
had recently come into a supply

of 160-milligram oxy pills.

Found them languishing in his
grandmother's medicine cabinet

after she died,
from what I understand.

So we're gonna show pictures

of Lance Corporal
Stanhope's lady friends

to this dealer and hope
he recognizes one of them?

Lieutenant Li has pictures
of the women.

All she needs is you.

No.

Sorry.

I never see any
of these women.

Take another look.

I have many customers.

I don't remember every face.

But these?

No.

Maybe if you have
picture of her hands.Well, sorry, guys.

Why would a picture
of her hands be useful?

She had different colors.

Red, pink, red, pink.

Is this the woman
you sold pills to?

Matty, they said you
checked out last night.

Why aren't you
picking up your phone?

Call me back right away, okay?[phone beeps]

You always get
into character

before heading back?

We wear these when we fly.

I tried your brother
a few times.

I don't know where he is.

He's just heartbroken.

The same way that you would be

if everything you wanted
just got canceled one day.

Will you let me know
when you hear from him?

Sure.

I've got a hop.

Look, this isn't
the ideal morning

for this conversation,

but we're not ready
to concede the seat

in Winston-Salem.

You just told me
Matt can't run.

Your brother is stepping aside
due to a health crisis.

There's precedent for that.

Occasionally,

someone close to the candidate
jumps onto the ticket.

What?

[chuckles]
No. That's...

that's very flattering,

but I'm a Marine.

I can't run for office.

Your active duty status
is an issue.

We may need
to get creative

with your residency
requirements,

but you're from the area.

You believe the same things
your brother does.

And if I'm
reading you right,

this conversation...

is why you signed up
in the first place.

You're building
a résumé.

You're writing a story that ends
with you in office.

Isn't that right?

This is certainly a sordid one.

The charge is Article 118,
subsection 1:

premeditated murder.

We're here to discuss a motion
to prohibit the death penalty.

The referral of capital charges

is posturing on the
government's part.

The military hasn't carried out
an execution in almost 60 years.

We don't typically
get a murderer

as eminently chargeable

as PFC Stanhope,
Your Honor.

She participated
in a fraudulent marriage scheme,

and when her husband tried
to divorce her

and get out of the arrangement,
PFC Stanhope killed him

so she'd get his death benefits.

The government's theory
will have its day in court.

Why add the weight

of capital charges?It is not a theory

that Jack Stanhope retained
a divorce lawyer two weeks

before he was murdered.
It is also not a theory

that the defendant bought
a batch of the same

160-milligram oxy pills that
caused her husband's death.

I've seen the evidence.

Has anyone explained to you

the virtues of making a deal?

ABE:
Your Honor, we offered
the defendant

a deal that allowed
for the possibility

she'd see freedom
after 25 years.

Then why does this turd continue

to clog the pipes of justice?

My client's freedom is at stake,
Your Honor.

She prefers to make her case
to a panel.

Very well, then.

She'll be doing it
with her life on the line.

Motion to dismiss is denied.

Now, speaking of
the marriage scam...

Uh, the defense requests
a moment, Your Honor.

She's buckling.

Should we offer
to take off five years?

We're at the goal
line, Lieutenant.

No need to take our foot
off the gas.

That is such a
mixed metaphor.

I believe in
mixed metaphors.

You understood what
I meant, didn't you?

Totally.

We should drive our race
car into the end zone.

Your Honor, if the government's
deal is still on the table,

my client wishes to accept.

Captain?

Excellent. We can move on, then.

Lieutenant Colonel Talley,

the defense respectfully
requests a continuance.

We're moving fast here,
Major Ferry. What gives?

I have a doctor's appointment.

I've had to reschedule it
a few times.

I really need to keep it.

My wife's pregnant.

I don't even know what we're
supposed to be looking for.

[chuckles]Fetal heartbeat.

Movement.

It's loud in there.
Is that normal?

Okay.

Here we go, baby, come on.

Talk to us.

[heart beating]

Beats so fast.

SONOGRAPHER:
I'll be right back
with the doctor.

TREY:
Look at that.

There. Right there.

That's a heartbeat.

Oh, my God.

There's two.

What?One heartbeat.

Two heartbeats.

Come in.

I'm covering your line
while Lieutenant Eick

is at his appointment.

You've had two phone calls

from the Brigadier
General Review Board.

They've just adjourned.

What do they want?

[scoffs]

It's my first year eligible.

Nobody makes it
their first year.

Respectfully, ma'am,

sometimes they reach down.

I'd call them back
if I were you.

I think you're
gonna be a general.

Excuse me, sir.

Uh, my wife and I were dismissed
20 minutes ago by the d...

Oh, hey. Katya.

Hi. What's going on?

You should come back.
Let me check with the doc.

No, wait. Uh, could you just
tell me what's happening?

I was ready to let her go.

The doctor noticed something
with the last test.

Your wife is showing signs that
are consistent with early labor.

This is our first ultrasound.

Wait here. I'll be right back.

[humming "Up Where We Belong"]

Captain Abraham.

You say it's not
the Rami Bat-Signal,

yet here you are.I-I tried to call you.

What's going on?

Uh...

Agent Chong.

What's NCIS doing here?

Captain Abraham.

I need you to come with me.

[chuckles] What?

Sir, please.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What's going on?

Abe, they're apprehending you.Why? What's the charge?

Article 94. Mutiny and sedition.

Does this order come
from the field office?

Way further
up the food chain, ma'am.

Would you come with us, please?

This is insane. When
did I commit mutiny?

The charge refers to an incident
on March 5, 2010.

This is a setup.

Stop.

I'll go.
