Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:10,894 --> 00:00:12,261
Sir, why are we giving
the prisoners
2
00:00:12,329 --> 00:00:13,729
all the good M.R.E.s?
3
00:00:13,797 --> 00:00:15,897
We should stick them
with the so-called ham.
4
00:00:15,966 --> 00:00:18,050
It's against their religion.
5
00:00:18,119 --> 00:00:19,751
Well, sir, it's
against my religion
6
00:00:19,820 --> 00:00:20,986
when these guys
shoot at me.
7
00:00:21,055 --> 00:00:22,221
Hey, this POW camp
8
00:00:22,289 --> 00:00:23,722
is probably the
safest place in Iraq.
9
00:00:23,790 --> 00:00:25,624
(gunshot)
10
00:00:28,628 --> 00:00:29,611
Captain Rapaport, over here.
11
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,597
Kelly,
what the hell happened?!
12
00:00:31,665 --> 00:00:32,830
I don't know, sir.
13
00:00:34,418 --> 00:00:36,118
Secure a perimeter.
14
00:00:36,187 --> 00:00:38,836
Yes, sir.
15
00:00:40,290 --> 00:00:41,690
Brandon, get a corpsman.
16
00:00:41,759 --> 00:00:43,592
Right away, sir.
17
00:01:40,451 --> 00:01:42,984
A.J., did you see
the Norfolk Sun clip
18
00:01:43,053 --> 00:01:45,086
in the Early Bird
this morning?
19
00:01:45,155 --> 00:01:47,556
Haven't had a chance
to read it yet, sir.
20
00:01:47,625 --> 00:01:48,806
Well, apparently,
21
00:01:48,875 --> 00:01:51,643
a Lance Corporal Pete Kelly,
22
00:01:51,712 --> 00:01:54,446
he got loaded
and told a Norfolk Sun reporter
23
00:01:54,515 --> 00:01:57,783
that he shot an Iraqi prisoner
in the back of the head.
24
00:01:57,851 --> 00:02:00,402
And to make matters
worse, a prisoner
25
00:02:00,471 --> 00:02:02,904
named Omar Billah
was shot in the back of the head
26
00:02:02,973 --> 00:02:04,873
in April at the
same compound
27
00:02:04,941 --> 00:02:06,174
where Kelly
was stationed,
28
00:02:06,242 --> 00:02:07,576
and Billah's murder's
never been solved.
29
00:02:07,644 --> 00:02:09,761
Well, if that's true,
it's a war crime.
30
00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:10,896
Well, even
if it's false,
31
00:02:10,965 --> 00:02:12,080
it's a P.R. nightmare.
32
00:02:12,148 --> 00:02:13,331
I want you to get
33
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,333
to the bottom of it ASAP.
34
00:02:15,402 --> 00:02:17,001
Yes, sir.
35
00:02:17,071 --> 00:02:18,970
I'll have, uh, Colonel MacKenzie
and Lieutenant Roberts
36
00:02:19,039 --> 00:02:21,639
start a JAGMAN investigation
immediately.
37
00:02:21,708 --> 00:02:23,425
Why not Commander Rabb?
38
00:02:23,494 --> 00:02:25,527
Well, the commander is pretty
well swamped right now.
39
00:02:25,595 --> 00:02:26,594
Oh, are you
and Rabb
40
00:02:26,663 --> 00:02:27,663
still having problems?
41
00:02:27,731 --> 00:02:28,697
Not at all, sir.
42
00:02:28,765 --> 00:02:29,698
In fact, tomorrow,
43
00:02:29,783 --> 00:02:31,383
we're flying out to Los Angeles
44
00:02:31,451 --> 00:02:33,451
for the International
Military Law Conference.
45
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,435
A.J.,
46
00:02:34,504 --> 00:02:35,937
you can't fool me.
47
00:02:36,006 --> 00:02:37,789
You're going
out there
48
00:02:37,858 --> 00:02:40,675
for the Navy-Marine
baseball all-star game.
49
00:02:42,246 --> 00:02:44,746
Go, navy.
50
00:02:44,815 --> 00:02:48,867
(announcer speaking
indistinctly)
51
00:02:48,936 --> 00:02:52,069
(crowd cheering)
52
00:02:57,494 --> 00:02:59,177
Now batting for the Marines,
53
00:02:59,245 --> 00:03:02,314
from Camp Pendleton, number 42,
Master Sergeant Jack Sigler.
54
00:03:04,284 --> 00:03:06,017
The fans are really
getting into it, huh?
55
00:03:06,086 --> 00:03:07,235
They've been waiting
long enough.
56
00:03:07,321 --> 00:03:09,153
They were supposed to play
this game in August,
57
00:03:09,222 --> 00:03:11,973
but most of the
guys were in Iraq.
58
00:03:12,042 --> 00:03:14,076
(cheering continues)
59
00:03:17,114 --> 00:03:18,229
Come on, now.
60
00:03:21,385 --> 00:03:23,952
Strike!
61
00:03:24,021 --> 00:03:26,103
A.J.:
Nice pitch, Crawford!
62
00:03:26,173 --> 00:03:29,824
Boy, I tell you, this kid...
this kid is something.
63
00:03:29,893 --> 00:03:32,193
He's got this curve ball
that rolls off the table,
64
00:03:32,262 --> 00:03:34,212
and he can locate
his fastball.
65
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:38,750
Now batting for the Marines,
from Quantico,
66
00:03:38,819 --> 00:03:42,053
number 21,
Lieutenant Dave Phelps.
67
00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:44,689
Come on, let's get a hit.
68
00:04:00,390 --> 00:04:01,390
Okay, first pitch.
69
00:04:01,458 --> 00:04:03,825
He should throw
a fastball inside.
70
00:04:03,894 --> 00:04:06,210
Last time up,
this kid hit a shot.
71
00:04:06,279 --> 00:04:07,796
All right, now, Sea Time.
72
00:04:07,864 --> 00:04:10,231
All right, Sea Time, here it is.
73
00:04:18,575 --> 00:04:19,891
WOMAN:
Let's go, Navy!
74
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:22,477
Show 'em how
to do it!
75
00:04:33,790 --> 00:04:35,907
(grunting, crowd groans)
76
00:04:44,718 --> 00:04:46,934
Dave. Dave, you all right?
77
00:04:49,155 --> 00:04:50,572
All, right, all right.
Get a medic.
78
00:04:50,641 --> 00:04:52,474
Get a medic.
All right, sir.
79
00:04:53,544 --> 00:04:54,592
Dave.
80
00:05:06,190 --> 00:05:07,422
MAN:
I didn't know this girl
81
00:05:07,490 --> 00:05:09,157
was a newspaper reporter, ma'am.
82
00:05:09,226 --> 00:05:12,060
I met her in a bar,
and I was trying to pick her up,
83
00:05:12,129 --> 00:05:14,579
so I made up some crazy story
to impress her.
84
00:05:14,648 --> 00:05:16,230
Interesting way to impress
a girl, Lance Corporal--
85
00:05:16,299 --> 00:05:17,515
telling her that
you killed someone.
86
00:05:17,584 --> 00:05:19,050
Ma'am, I get sick of people
87
00:05:19,119 --> 00:05:21,619
always asking me
the million-dollar question,
88
00:05:21,688 --> 00:05:23,338
so sometimes I make up stuff.
89
00:05:23,424 --> 00:05:25,340
What's the million-dollar
question?
90
00:05:29,413 --> 00:05:31,179
Did you kill anybody?
91
00:05:32,716 --> 00:05:34,015
Did I kill anybody?
92
00:05:35,602 --> 00:05:37,986
You get off on that, huh?
93
00:05:41,041 --> 00:05:44,042
The first guy I popped
was a fedayeen Saddam.
94
00:05:44,111 --> 00:05:45,743
See, I'm standing guard
95
00:05:45,813 --> 00:05:47,279
at this EPW compound.
96
00:05:47,347 --> 00:05:48,346
"EPW?"
97
00:05:48,415 --> 00:05:49,547
Enemy Prisoners
of War.
98
00:05:49,616 --> 00:05:50,765
So, this one fedayeen,
99
00:05:50,833 --> 00:05:52,567
he got captured
because he killed
100
00:05:52,635 --> 00:05:54,035
two American
army soldiers
101
00:05:54,104 --> 00:05:55,887
using an Iraqi lady
for a shield.
102
00:05:55,956 --> 00:05:58,256
And now he's raising
hell in our compound,
103
00:05:58,325 --> 00:06:00,641
looking to
start a riot.
104
00:06:00,710 --> 00:06:03,378
So, I get him alone at
the far end of the camp...
105
00:06:03,447 --> 00:06:05,714
I put him down in the sand...
106
00:06:05,782 --> 00:06:09,284
and I zap him in the
back of the head.
107
00:06:09,353 --> 00:06:12,436
It was the last we had
to worry about him.
108
00:06:13,790 --> 00:06:15,690
You shot him
in the back of the head?
109
00:06:19,612 --> 00:06:21,847
That's when she told me
she was a reporter, ma'am.
110
00:06:21,915 --> 00:06:22,997
And did you
tell her
111
00:06:23,066 --> 00:06:24,132
you just made the story up?
112
00:06:24,201 --> 00:06:25,467
Yes, ma'am.
I even called
113
00:06:25,536 --> 00:06:27,769
Ms. Serrano the next day,
but she wouldn't listen.
114
00:06:27,855 --> 00:06:30,755
What about Omar Billah,
the EPW who got shot?
115
00:06:30,824 --> 00:06:33,024
Ma'am, I saw Billah's body,
but that's all I saw.
116
00:06:33,093 --> 00:06:34,642
Well, according to the reporter,
117
00:06:34,711 --> 00:06:36,327
you despised him,
Lance Corporal.
118
00:06:36,396 --> 00:06:38,179
Billah was a coward
and a killer, ma'am.
119
00:06:38,248 --> 00:06:40,115
I don't feel bad he's dead.
120
00:06:40,183 --> 00:06:42,416
But I didn't shoot him.
121
00:06:44,688 --> 00:06:46,421
(knocking)
RABB:
Excuse me, sir.
122
00:06:46,490 --> 00:06:47,438
What?
123
00:06:47,507 --> 00:06:48,540
Good news about
Lieutenant Phelps.
124
00:06:48,608 --> 00:06:50,558
He's, uh, suffered
a bad concussion,
125
00:06:50,627 --> 00:06:53,294
but they feel the, uh, damage
won't be permanent.
126
00:06:53,363 --> 00:06:54,462
Outstanding.
127
00:06:54,531 --> 00:06:56,164
There is one wrinkle,
however.
128
00:06:56,233 --> 00:06:57,799
The, uh, manager
of the Marine Corps team
129
00:06:57,868 --> 00:06:59,517
has preferred charges
against the pitcher.
130
00:06:59,586 --> 00:07:01,052
You're kidding.
131
00:07:01,121 --> 00:07:04,472
Assault with intent to cause
grievous bodily harm.
132
00:07:04,541 --> 00:07:05,824
(chuckling)
133
00:07:05,893 --> 00:07:09,261
The convening authority
will shoot that down.
134
00:07:09,329 --> 00:07:11,012
Actually,
Petty Officer
135
00:07:11,081 --> 00:07:14,182
Crawford's C.O. has scheduled
an Article 32.
136
00:07:15,285 --> 00:07:17,985
Unbelievable.
137
00:07:18,054 --> 00:07:22,073
The military justice system
is getting just as ridiculous
138
00:07:22,142 --> 00:07:23,358
as the civilian
courts.
139
00:07:23,426 --> 00:07:25,627
Well, you know, sir,
I mean, if he, uh,
140
00:07:25,695 --> 00:07:28,363
if he threw that ball at
the player's head intentionally,
141
00:07:28,431 --> 00:07:30,231
maybe it was assault.
142
00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:31,666
Look, this
Marine manager
143
00:07:31,752 --> 00:07:35,019
is a complete idiot
for preferring charges,
144
00:07:35,088 --> 00:07:38,289
and Crawford's C.O. should have
never gone along with it.
145
00:07:38,358 --> 00:07:39,557
End of story.
146
00:07:39,626 --> 00:07:41,876
The Marine manager's
pretty adamant, sir.
147
00:07:41,945 --> 00:07:44,979
He's, uh,
Lieutenant Phelps' father.
148
00:07:46,716 --> 00:07:49,617
(sighs)
149
00:07:52,338 --> 00:07:54,055
WOMAN:
I'm positive my story is accurate.
150
00:07:54,123 --> 00:07:57,025
Pete Kelly told me the truth
about killing that prisoner.
151
00:07:57,093 --> 00:08:00,862
I thought reporters were
supposed to keep an open mind.
152
00:08:00,930 --> 00:08:04,499
He looked me square in the eye--
direct, no blinking--
153
00:08:04,568 --> 00:08:06,451
and told me he killed a man.
154
00:08:06,519 --> 00:08:07,769
Then he took it back, right?
155
00:08:07,838 --> 00:08:09,404
When he found out
I was a reporter,
156
00:08:09,473 --> 00:08:10,405
he got scared.
157
00:08:10,474 --> 00:08:12,040
Maybe he got honest.
158
00:08:12,109 --> 00:08:14,542
Look, I'm sure
the marines and JAG
159
00:08:14,611 --> 00:08:17,228
and all the rest of you people
will try to cover this up.
160
00:08:17,297 --> 00:08:19,247
That's not the way we work.
But I did
161
00:08:19,315 --> 00:08:20,348
my research.
162
00:08:20,416 --> 00:08:21,883
When Kelly called me
for a retraction,
163
00:08:21,952 --> 00:08:23,801
he claimed he was out
patrolling the compound
164
00:08:23,870 --> 00:08:25,887
at the time
of the murder.
165
00:08:25,973 --> 00:08:29,473
But nobody
can confirm his alibi.
166
00:08:35,732 --> 00:08:38,532
MAJOR PHELPS:
He's still weak
on the left side.
167
00:08:38,601 --> 00:08:40,634
They're giving him range-
of-motion exercises.
168
00:08:40,703 --> 00:08:42,270
I'll bring him in
here every morning
169
00:08:42,339 --> 00:08:43,738
until he's out
of the woods.
170
00:08:43,806 --> 00:08:46,307
I just wanted to come by,
see how he was doing.
171
00:08:46,376 --> 00:08:48,776
Glad to see he's recovering.
172
00:08:48,845 --> 00:08:49,978
Well, thank you, sir.
173
00:08:50,046 --> 00:08:51,980
I must admit, I'm
a little surprised
174
00:08:52,048 --> 00:08:54,515
that an admiral would take
such a personal interest.
175
00:08:54,584 --> 00:08:57,085
Oh, I'm not here
as the JAG
176
00:08:57,153 --> 00:08:59,653
nor in any, uh,
official capacity.
177
00:08:59,722 --> 00:09:03,657
I'm just, uh, here
as a baseball fan.
178
00:09:03,726 --> 00:09:06,794
I know why you're here, sir.
179
00:09:06,863 --> 00:09:08,930
You want me
to drop the charges.
180
00:09:10,233 --> 00:09:12,833
Major, um, I'm
a father, too,
181
00:09:12,903 --> 00:09:14,102
so I understand
your feelings,
182
00:09:14,170 --> 00:09:17,205
but brushback pitches are
just part of the game.
183
00:09:17,274 --> 00:09:19,974
That pitch
wasn't part of any game.
184
00:09:20,043 --> 00:09:22,143
The radar gun clocked it
at 95 miles an hour.
185
00:09:22,212 --> 00:09:23,678
It was thrown
behind my son's head,
186
00:09:23,746 --> 00:09:26,364
which is where you throw a ball
when you want to hurt someone,
187
00:09:26,433 --> 00:09:27,482
because the batter
instinctively
188
00:09:27,551 --> 00:09:28,666
backs away
from the plate--
189
00:09:28,735 --> 00:09:30,385
right into the spot
where the ball is coming.
190
00:09:30,454 --> 00:09:31,736
I was a pitcher
in high school.
191
00:09:31,804 --> 00:09:34,372
There were plenty of
times that I hit batters
192
00:09:34,441 --> 00:09:36,023
simply because the ball
got away from me.
193
00:09:36,092 --> 00:09:38,727
That's not
what happened here, sir.
194
00:09:38,795 --> 00:09:41,596
Last year, the Navy pitchers
went head-hunting, too.
195
00:09:41,665 --> 00:09:43,280
One of my Marines
got a broken jaw.
196
00:09:44,417 --> 00:09:46,251
Major, there's
no way to prove
197
00:09:46,319 --> 00:09:49,136
that Petty Officer Crawford's
pitch was intentional.
198
00:09:49,222 --> 00:09:52,656
Petty Officer Crawford
nearly killed my son, sir.
199
00:09:52,726 --> 00:09:55,793
He needs to accept
responsibility for that.
200
00:09:55,862 --> 00:09:57,094
During Iraqi Freedom,
201
00:09:57,163 --> 00:09:59,397
our EPW compound
was south of the Euphrates.
202
00:09:59,466 --> 00:10:01,766
Our exact location
remains classified, ma'am.
203
00:10:01,835 --> 00:10:04,068
Captain, how many prisoners
did you have?
204
00:10:04,136 --> 00:10:05,803
Anywhere from 200
to 400, ma'am.
205
00:10:05,872 --> 00:10:07,739
We had so many Iraqis
trying to surrender,
206
00:10:07,807 --> 00:10:09,039
we had EPWs
coming and going.
207
00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:10,908
And you were in charge
of the initial investigation
208
00:10:10,977 --> 00:10:12,193
of Billah's death?
Yes, ma'am.
209
00:10:12,261 --> 00:10:13,912
Here's my report.
210
00:10:13,980 --> 00:10:15,429
Who did you suspect at the time?
211
00:10:15,499 --> 00:10:17,147
We never had any
solid leads, ma'am.
212
00:10:17,216 --> 00:10:19,967
Were you able to recover
the murder weapon, Captain?
No.
213
00:10:20,053 --> 00:10:21,936
The round shattered when
it hit Billah's skull.
214
00:10:22,005 --> 00:10:23,771
We didn't get all the fragments.
215
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,440
The weapon was probably
a nine millimeter or a .38.
216
00:10:26,510 --> 00:10:27,675
Was there anybody
inside the compound
217
00:10:27,744 --> 00:10:29,877
besides marines or prisoners?
No, ma'am.
218
00:10:29,963 --> 00:10:32,696
Well, since I assume that none
of the prisoners had weapons,
219
00:10:32,765 --> 00:10:34,382
the killer
had to have been a marine.
220
00:10:34,450 --> 00:10:36,033
That assumption might not
be accurate, Lieutenant.
221
00:10:36,102 --> 00:10:38,353
There was one prisoner
who pulled a gun
222
00:10:38,438 --> 00:10:40,237
on a truck transport
and started shooting.
223
00:10:40,306 --> 00:10:41,739
EPW operations
got pretty chaotic.
224
00:10:41,808 --> 00:10:42,774
MacKENZIE:
Captain, I don't see
225
00:10:42,842 --> 00:10:44,075
anything here
about the victim.
226
00:10:44,144 --> 00:10:46,327
Is it true that he-he killed
two American soldiers?
227
00:10:46,396 --> 00:10:48,780
According to the marines
that brought him in, yes.
Well, Lance Corporal Kelly
228
00:10:48,848 --> 00:10:50,498
said Billah was causing trouble
at the compound.
229
00:10:50,567 --> 00:10:51,649
Ma'am,
230
00:10:51,702 --> 00:10:54,135
I only know
about three Arabic phrases,
231
00:10:54,204 --> 00:10:57,104
but it sure looked like
he was trying to start a riot.
232
00:10:57,174 --> 00:10:59,490
Uh, when was this?
233
00:10:59,543 --> 00:11:01,009
Two hours before he was killed.
234
00:11:01,077 --> 00:11:02,911
(man speaking Arabic)
235
00:11:02,979 --> 00:11:06,714
He was shouting out, trying to incite the other prisoners.
236
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,183
(Arabic continues)
237
00:11:13,506 --> 00:11:15,039
Break it up.
238
00:11:15,108 --> 00:11:16,607
(Arabic continues)
239
00:11:16,676 --> 00:11:18,660
Secure the EPWs, now!
240
00:11:18,729 --> 00:11:20,294
BILLAH:
You will die here.
241
00:11:20,364 --> 00:11:21,996
Shut up!
242
00:11:22,065 --> 00:11:23,965
Get him down.
You heard him.
243
00:11:24,034 --> 00:11:25,733
Get down.
244
00:11:27,136 --> 00:11:28,402
MacKENZIE:
So Kelly handcuffed him?
245
00:11:28,471 --> 00:11:30,371
It was necessary, ma'am.
246
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,024
Was the prisoner handcuffed
when he was shot?
247
00:11:34,127 --> 00:11:35,459
Yes, he was.
248
00:11:36,546 --> 00:11:38,046
Do you think
Lance Corporal Kelly
249
00:11:38,114 --> 00:11:39,513
could have committed
this murder?
250
00:11:39,583 --> 00:11:41,315
No, ma'am. He was a good marine.
251
00:11:41,384 --> 00:11:42,584
ROBERTS:
Well, I know he was
252
00:11:42,669 --> 00:11:44,469
a good marine, Captain,
but your men were under
253
00:11:44,538 --> 00:11:46,320
a tremendous amount of
stress, weren't they?
254
00:11:46,389 --> 00:11:47,522
They were fighting a war.
255
00:11:47,590 --> 00:11:48,672
Did your company
256
00:11:48,741 --> 00:11:49,657
suffer any casualties?
257
00:11:49,726 --> 00:11:51,008
Heavy casualties,
Lieutenant.
258
00:11:51,077 --> 00:11:52,393
I don't understand your point.
259
00:11:52,462 --> 00:11:53,544
Captain,
260
00:11:53,612 --> 00:11:55,013
even the best
and strongest of men,
261
00:11:55,081 --> 00:11:57,314
when they're angry
and want revenge--
262
00:11:57,383 --> 00:12:01,068
aren't they capable
of just about anything?
263
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:15,900
MATTIE:
I got five grand
in billings.
264
00:12:15,969 --> 00:12:18,235
Yeah, you'll get your money
as soon as I get mine.
265
00:12:18,304 --> 00:12:19,436
Thanks for your
understanding.
266
00:12:20,673 --> 00:12:21,772
Hey.
267
00:12:21,841 --> 00:12:23,107
How you doing?
268
00:12:23,175 --> 00:12:24,942
Ooh, it's cold, huh?
269
00:12:25,011 --> 00:12:26,611
Listen, I didn't know
what kind you like,
270
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:27,778
so I got three.
271
00:12:27,847 --> 00:12:29,297
Veggie...
272
00:12:29,365 --> 00:12:30,731
Meatball and marinara.
273
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,100
We've got a date
in juvenile court
274
00:12:33,186 --> 00:12:35,085
in three weeks.
Harm, you can still...
275
00:12:35,155 --> 00:12:36,587
Don't say it.
276
00:12:36,656 --> 00:12:37,588
Okay.
277
00:12:38,991 --> 00:12:40,525
Good pizza.
278
00:12:40,593 --> 00:12:42,610
Yeah? You got a favorite?
279
00:12:42,696 --> 00:12:44,195
Next time, get pepperoni.
280
00:12:45,298 --> 00:12:46,797
Exactly what is a ward?
281
00:12:46,867 --> 00:12:48,499
Legally, a ward is a, uh,
282
00:12:48,568 --> 00:12:50,051
minor or incompetent person
283
00:12:50,119 --> 00:12:51,986
under the care or protection
of a guardian.
284
00:12:52,055 --> 00:12:54,488
I know you're not
calling me incompetent.
285
00:12:54,557 --> 00:12:55,923
(chuckles)
286
00:12:55,992 --> 00:12:57,658
You've seen
Batman and Robin, right?
287
00:12:57,727 --> 00:12:58,659
No, that's kid stuff.
288
00:12:58,728 --> 00:13:00,044
I work for a living.
289
00:13:00,112 --> 00:13:01,895
Batman was millionaire
Bruce Wayne.
290
00:13:01,964 --> 00:13:02,997
He had a ward.
291
00:13:03,065 --> 00:13:04,982
Let me guess, Robin?
Exactly.
292
00:13:05,051 --> 00:13:06,951
At night, they fought crime.
293
00:13:08,521 --> 00:13:11,972
I guess Bruce Wayne didn't have
to worry about Child Services.
294
00:13:16,980 --> 00:13:19,163
What do you get out of this?
295
00:13:22,085 --> 00:13:23,501
You.
296
00:13:29,876 --> 00:13:32,627
(baseball game playing on TV)
297
00:13:32,712 --> 00:13:36,647
Sir, you have messages
from General Moran
298
00:13:36,716 --> 00:13:39,433
and Congressman Redstone.
299
00:13:40,887 --> 00:13:43,838
Sir, the congressman's office
has called twice now.
300
00:13:43,924 --> 00:13:46,925
There... now,
the pitcher throws the ball
301
00:13:46,993 --> 00:13:48,259
behind the batter's head,
302
00:13:48,328 --> 00:13:49,310
but still...
303
00:13:49,379 --> 00:13:51,245
Sir, this is...
this is ridiculous.
304
00:13:51,314 --> 00:13:52,913
Agreed.
305
00:13:52,982 --> 00:13:55,750
Attempting to... to
court-martial a pitcher
306
00:13:55,819 --> 00:13:57,518
for a brushback pitch?
307
00:13:57,587 --> 00:13:59,554
Hell, it symbolizes
the decline
308
00:13:59,622 --> 00:14:01,723
of Western civilization.
309
00:14:01,791 --> 00:14:03,507
SECNAV:
Maybe you better switch
to decaf,
310
00:14:03,576 --> 00:14:04,575
Admiral.
311
00:14:04,644 --> 00:14:05,827
Secretary.
312
00:14:05,912 --> 00:14:07,762
Morning, sir.
313
00:14:07,831 --> 00:14:09,263
Good morning.
314
00:14:09,332 --> 00:14:13,434
I, uh, I just thought
I'd stop by on my way to work.
315
00:14:13,503 --> 00:14:15,903
I'm glad to see
you're keeping busy.
316
00:14:15,972 --> 00:14:18,206
Well, actually, it's
some legal research.
317
00:14:18,291 --> 00:14:19,924
Unless you, uh, have
some objections,
318
00:14:19,993 --> 00:14:21,959
I've decided to serve
as the defense counsel
319
00:14:22,028 --> 00:14:23,578
on the baseball case.
320
00:14:23,646 --> 00:14:25,930
Why would you get involved
in such a minor case?
321
00:14:25,999 --> 00:14:28,582
Well, I don't consider it minor.
322
00:14:28,651 --> 00:14:32,470
This Article 32 stretches
the outer limits
323
00:14:32,538 --> 00:14:33,621
of jurisprudence.
324
00:14:33,690 --> 00:14:35,122
Besides, it could
set a precedent
325
00:14:35,191 --> 00:14:37,592
that could be damaging
to our national pastime.
326
00:14:37,660 --> 00:14:39,393
And...
327
00:14:39,461 --> 00:14:42,914
I'm sure you're not here
to talk about baseball.
328
00:14:42,983 --> 00:14:44,048
I'm here
about Lance Corporal Kelly.
329
00:14:44,117 --> 00:14:45,049
Uh, my people
330
00:14:45,118 --> 00:14:46,550
are on it 24/7.
331
00:14:46,619 --> 00:14:48,752
I should have a report
to you by noon chow.
332
00:14:48,822 --> 00:14:50,554
That's what I wanted
to tell you.
333
00:14:50,623 --> 00:14:53,958
We no longer consider
that situation a priority.
334
00:14:54,027 --> 00:14:55,993
"We"?
335
00:14:56,062 --> 00:14:58,079
I had a meeting last night
with the Joint Chiefs.
336
00:14:58,147 --> 00:14:59,113
Mr. Secretary,
337
00:14:59,181 --> 00:15:00,280
are you telling me
338
00:15:00,349 --> 00:15:03,417
to back off a murder
investigation?
339
00:15:03,485 --> 00:15:05,102
Oh, no, not at all.
340
00:15:05,171 --> 00:15:08,039
We simply don't want criminal
proceedings against this marine
341
00:15:08,107 --> 00:15:10,925
unless you're absolutely certain
you've got a case.
342
00:15:11,011 --> 00:15:12,810
We'd rather not
supply the enemy
343
00:15:12,879 --> 00:15:15,296
with something
they can turn into propaganda.
344
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:18,633
I see.
345
00:15:18,701 --> 00:15:19,900
Good.
346
00:15:21,021 --> 00:15:22,620
Good. Excellent.
347
00:15:22,688 --> 00:15:24,171
Have a good day, A.J.
348
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:25,873
You too, sir.
349
00:15:27,677 --> 00:15:30,027
ROBERTS:
Politics aside, we can't have our marines
350
00:15:30,096 --> 00:15:32,780
executing prisoners,
no matter how evil they are.
351
00:15:32,849 --> 00:15:36,383
So, you believe that, uh,
Lance Corporal Kelly
352
00:15:36,452 --> 00:15:38,352
executed Omar Billah?
353
00:15:38,421 --> 00:15:40,521
I believe there's more
than sufficient evidence
354
00:15:40,590 --> 00:15:41,689
to move forward, sir.
355
00:15:41,758 --> 00:15:43,324
I'm not sure we can
prove guilt, sir.
356
00:15:43,392 --> 00:15:46,193
Our best evidence is a story
Kelly told in a bar one night.
357
00:15:46,262 --> 00:15:47,862
Now, when a young marine
tells you a story
358
00:15:47,931 --> 00:15:49,797
about what he did
in combat,
359
00:15:49,883 --> 00:15:51,082
there's a good chance
360
00:15:51,150 --> 00:15:53,317
that he's exaggerating,
or it's a lie.
361
00:15:53,386 --> 00:15:55,219
Criticizing your people,
Colonel?
362
00:15:55,288 --> 00:15:56,637
Well, marines tend
to keep things
363
00:15:56,723 --> 00:15:58,222
to themselves, sir.
They-they don't always
364
00:15:58,290 --> 00:15:59,857
want to talk
about what they've been through.
365
00:15:59,926 --> 00:16:01,325
I'm sure, as a former SEAL,
366
00:16:01,394 --> 00:16:02,793
you-you understand.
367
00:16:02,862 --> 00:16:05,396
Given your empathy, I'll assign
you as the defense counsel.
368
00:16:05,464 --> 00:16:06,797
If the convening authority
369
00:16:06,866 --> 00:16:07,865
agrees with your
recommendation
370
00:16:07,933 --> 00:16:09,767
to prefer charges,
then I want you
371
00:16:09,836 --> 00:16:11,134
to prosecute,
Lieutenant.
372
00:16:11,203 --> 00:16:13,537
Any problems with the
brass, I'll take the heat.
373
00:16:13,606 --> 00:16:14,538
Thank you, sir.
374
00:16:14,607 --> 00:16:15,973
And if you have
to work nights,
375
00:16:16,042 --> 00:16:18,175
I'll take the heat
from your wife as well.
376
00:16:18,244 --> 00:16:19,643
Harriet's been so busy
377
00:16:19,713 --> 00:16:21,345
organizing this
USO Christmas tour
378
00:16:21,414 --> 00:16:24,381
that she probably
won't even notice I'm gone, sir.
379
00:16:24,450 --> 00:16:25,816
Since, uh, we're a
little shorthanded
380
00:16:25,885 --> 00:16:28,118
around here, I'll have Coates
assist you, Colonel.
381
00:16:28,187 --> 00:16:30,171
I wouldn't mind working
on the case, sir.
382
00:16:30,256 --> 00:16:33,357
Mm, I'm confident that, uh,
Mac and Bud can handle it.
383
00:16:33,426 --> 00:16:34,625
On a different matter,
384
00:16:34,693 --> 00:16:36,560
uh, since we have
a shortage of space,
385
00:16:36,629 --> 00:16:39,530
we'll conduct
the Article 32
386
00:16:39,599 --> 00:16:41,699
on the baseball beaning case
in this room.
387
00:16:41,767 --> 00:16:44,068
I will be defending
the pitcher in this case.
388
00:16:44,137 --> 00:16:46,220
You, sir?
389
00:16:47,323 --> 00:16:48,389
You have a problem with that?
390
00:16:48,457 --> 00:16:49,890
No, no.
391
00:16:49,959 --> 00:16:52,310
No, I-I think that's
a good idea.
392
00:16:54,497 --> 00:16:55,530
Since I'm the
defense counsel,
393
00:16:55,598 --> 00:16:56,564
I'm recusing myself
394
00:16:56,632 --> 00:16:58,616
from assigning
who will oppose me.
395
00:16:58,684 --> 00:17:00,068
Colonel, I'll leave you
in charge.
396
00:17:00,136 --> 00:17:01,402
Carry on.
397
00:17:01,470 --> 00:17:03,537
Sir.
Sir.
398
00:17:04,641 --> 00:17:06,423
Okay, who wants to
399
00:17:06,492 --> 00:17:08,909
do battle with Mr. Big?
400
00:17:08,978 --> 00:17:10,644
All right, I'll
dump it on Turner
401
00:17:10,713 --> 00:17:12,746
when he gets back from
his case in Seattle.
402
00:17:12,815 --> 00:17:13,847
RABB:
I think the, uh,
403
00:17:13,916 --> 00:17:15,549
boss has set this
up intentionally.
404
00:17:18,037 --> 00:17:19,987
Everyone's on
the Kelly case.
405
00:17:20,056 --> 00:17:22,923
I think he wants to
oppose me in the court.
406
00:17:22,992 --> 00:17:25,092
Oh, yeah. He must think
you're an easy opponent.
407
00:17:25,161 --> 00:17:26,126
(chuckles)
408
00:17:26,196 --> 00:17:27,744
Or he wants to
oppose the best.
409
00:17:27,814 --> 00:17:29,046
Oh.
410
00:17:29,115 --> 00:17:30,414
I'll do it.
411
00:17:30,482 --> 00:17:32,416
I mean, if that's okay
with you, Colonel.
412
00:17:32,485 --> 00:17:33,667
Spare me your sarcasm.
413
00:17:33,736 --> 00:17:35,219
I know why you want
to take this case, Harm.
414
00:17:35,288 --> 00:17:36,203
Yeah, you do know.
415
00:17:36,272 --> 00:17:37,354
Violence in professional sports
416
00:17:37,423 --> 00:17:39,456
is out of control.
417
00:17:39,525 --> 00:17:41,125
Have you been to
a hockey game recently?
418
00:17:41,194 --> 00:17:43,694
Or what about the baseball
playoffs this year?
419
00:17:43,763 --> 00:17:45,562
That's true.
But you want to nail the admiral
420
00:17:45,631 --> 00:17:47,615
for keeping you out of the Navy
for three months.
421
00:17:57,243 --> 00:17:58,525
Sir, Petty Officer
Crawford's
422
00:17:58,594 --> 00:18:01,662
already been scouted by the
Yankees and the Red Sox.
423
00:18:01,731 --> 00:18:04,531
He's got a 95 mile-
an-hour fastball
424
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:05,933
he can put
anywhere he wants.
425
00:18:06,002 --> 00:18:07,068
Well, unfortunately,
426
00:18:07,137 --> 00:18:09,036
that's what the other side
will be saying--
427
00:18:09,105 --> 00:18:11,906
that he threw that fastball
exactly where he wanted it.
428
00:18:11,975 --> 00:18:15,076
I've coached Crawford for
the past two seasons now.
429
00:18:15,145 --> 00:18:17,078
He'd never hurt
somebody on purpose.
430
00:18:17,147 --> 00:18:18,813
Lieutenant,
did you order Crawford
431
00:18:18,882 --> 00:18:20,748
to throw the ball
at that man's head?
432
00:18:20,817 --> 00:18:22,917
That would've been a
lousy strategy, sir.
433
00:18:22,986 --> 00:18:24,351
We were only ahead
by two runs.
434
00:18:24,420 --> 00:18:26,087
Now, why would I
want to hit the guy
435
00:18:26,156 --> 00:18:27,755
and put the tying
run at the plate?
436
00:18:27,824 --> 00:18:29,356
Petty Officer.
437
00:18:29,425 --> 00:18:30,591
Sir.
438
00:18:30,660 --> 00:18:32,059
A.J.:
At ease, Petty
Officer Crawford.
439
00:18:32,127 --> 00:18:33,794
I'm Admiral Chegwidden.
I'll be representing you
440
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,812
in your Article 32.
441
00:18:35,882 --> 00:18:39,834
I'm happy to hear that, sir,
but does this mean it's serious?
442
00:18:39,902 --> 00:18:41,818
Yeah.
443
00:18:41,888 --> 00:18:43,320
Did Lieutenant Phelps
have a setback, sir?
No, no.
444
00:18:43,389 --> 00:18:44,654
He's recovering fine.
445
00:18:44,723 --> 00:18:46,891
I felt terrible when
he went down like that, sir.
446
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:48,058
We all did.
447
00:18:48,127 --> 00:18:49,727
So, what happened
with that pitch?
448
00:18:49,795 --> 00:18:52,847
I was trying for a strike
high and inside, sir.
449
00:18:52,915 --> 00:18:55,149
Ball just
got away from me.
450
00:18:55,217 --> 00:18:57,884
Well, I know these
Navy-Marine games
451
00:18:57,954 --> 00:18:59,503
can get intense.
452
00:18:59,572 --> 00:19:01,539
Sir, I would never
throw a fastball
453
00:19:01,607 --> 00:19:05,192
at another man's head,
even if he was a Marine.
454
00:19:05,261 --> 00:19:08,178
Well, I wouldn't
say that in court.
455
00:19:08,248 --> 00:19:09,830
Of course not, sir.
I'm sorry.
456
00:19:11,968 --> 00:19:12,916
(chuckles softly)
457
00:19:16,488 --> 00:19:18,088
That's Seaman Johnson
there, sir.
458
00:19:18,157 --> 00:19:19,857
Thank you, Lieutenant.
459
00:19:19,926 --> 00:19:21,425
(grunting)
460
00:19:23,495 --> 00:19:25,095
Seaman Johnson?
461
00:19:25,164 --> 00:19:26,430
Sir.
462
00:19:26,498 --> 00:19:27,431
At ease.
463
00:19:27,499 --> 00:19:29,934
Have a seat.
464
00:19:30,002 --> 00:19:32,053
I'm Admiral Chegwidden.
465
00:19:32,121 --> 00:19:34,188
I noticed you catching
the other day
466
00:19:34,257 --> 00:19:35,672
in the Navy-Marine game.
467
00:19:35,742 --> 00:19:37,108
Way to beat
those Bulldogs again.
468
00:19:37,176 --> 00:19:38,876
Yeah, we'll make it in three
straight next year, sir.
469
00:19:38,945 --> 00:19:41,595
Considering they beat us six
straight, I'm glad to hear that.
470
00:19:41,664 --> 00:19:43,514
I'm representing,
471
00:19:43,583 --> 00:19:46,067
uh, Petty Officer Crawford
in his Article 32.
472
00:19:46,135 --> 00:19:48,769
Really, sir?
473
00:19:48,837 --> 00:19:50,771
Now, I noticed when you
were behind the plate,
474
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,274
you gave this sign.
475
00:19:56,846 --> 00:19:58,195
What does that mean?
476
00:19:58,264 --> 00:20:01,048
I don't know, sir.
477
00:20:01,134 --> 00:20:02,633
Are you sure,
'cause that's the sign
478
00:20:02,701 --> 00:20:04,268
you gave Crawford
right before he hit
479
00:20:04,337 --> 00:20:05,720
that batter
in the head.
480
00:20:05,788 --> 00:20:07,371
I don't recall that, sir.
481
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,657
Would you like to see
the videotape?
482
00:20:14,881 --> 00:20:16,764
Manager gave me
a direct order, sir.
483
00:20:16,832 --> 00:20:19,600
He ordered you to hit
that batter in the head?
484
00:20:19,669 --> 00:20:21,218
Not, not a
beanball, sir.
485
00:20:21,287 --> 00:20:22,653
A brushback pitch.
486
00:20:22,721 --> 00:20:24,688
Look, we were just
trying to get the batter
487
00:20:24,757 --> 00:20:26,023
to think a little bit.
488
00:20:26,092 --> 00:20:28,925
Crawford was never actually
supposed to hit the guy.
489
00:20:28,995 --> 00:20:30,494
OWENS:
Sir, I served side by side
490
00:20:30,562 --> 00:20:32,496
with Lance Corporal Kelly
for five months.
491
00:20:32,564 --> 00:20:35,633
Kelly never said anything to me
about shooting a prisoner, sir.
492
00:20:35,702 --> 00:20:36,917
Earlier that night,
493
00:20:36,985 --> 00:20:39,353
after you and Lance Corporal
Kelly handcuffed the prisoner,
494
00:20:39,422 --> 00:20:41,088
what did you do with him?
495
00:20:41,156 --> 00:20:43,390
We removed Billah
from the disturbance
496
00:20:43,459 --> 00:20:45,092
and shackled
his feet, sir.
497
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,261
But that still
didn't stop him.
498
00:20:47,330 --> 00:20:48,278
(shouting in Arabic)
499
00:20:48,348 --> 00:20:49,279
(spits)
500
00:20:49,349 --> 00:20:50,280
Easy! Pete!
501
00:20:50,350 --> 00:20:51,565
You dirty little...!
Pete!
502
00:20:51,651 --> 00:20:53,317
Pete, he's not worth it.
503
00:20:55,871 --> 00:20:57,771
I had to get Pete
out of there.
504
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,658
So Billah spat
in Lance Corporal Kelly's face?
505
00:21:02,745 --> 00:21:04,528
I didn't mean it like that,
Lieutenant.
506
00:21:04,597 --> 00:21:06,179
Well, how did you mean it,
Lance Corporal?
507
00:21:06,248 --> 00:21:07,331
I was just trying
to explain
508
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,116
what a jerk Billah was, sir.
509
00:21:09,184 --> 00:21:10,785
Lance Corporal Kelly
wouldn't kill a guy
510
00:21:10,853 --> 00:21:12,119
just for spitting at him.
511
00:21:12,205 --> 00:21:14,638
RABB:
Catcher admits ordering
512
00:21:14,707 --> 00:21:16,940
a brushback
pitch thrown.
513
00:21:17,009 --> 00:21:18,342
So we're going
to get justice?
514
00:21:18,411 --> 00:21:20,944
No, defense will just argue
that Petty Officer Crawford
515
00:21:21,013 --> 00:21:22,813
never intended to
actually hit your son,
516
00:21:22,881 --> 00:21:26,149
just to throw
it near him.
517
00:21:26,219 --> 00:21:28,085
That argument
is nonsense, sir.
518
00:21:28,153 --> 00:21:29,587
My only question is,
519
00:21:29,655 --> 00:21:31,622
shouldn't we be charging the
catcher and the manager, too?
520
00:21:31,691 --> 00:21:33,591
Dad, tell me
you're kidding.
521
00:21:33,659 --> 00:21:35,226
If there are
any residual effects,
522
00:21:35,294 --> 00:21:36,293
he might fail his PFT.
523
00:21:36,362 --> 00:21:37,761
Do you know what
that could mean
524
00:21:37,830 --> 00:21:40,264
to his career
in the Marine Corps?
525
00:21:40,333 --> 00:21:43,934
Major, an Article 32
can be a very stressful time,
526
00:21:44,003 --> 00:21:47,271
and, uh, it might help things
if you did your best
527
00:21:47,340 --> 00:21:49,606
to remain as objective
as possible.
528
00:21:49,675 --> 00:21:52,693
This is not about
me being his father.
529
00:21:52,761 --> 00:21:55,646
I'm sick and tired
of seeing my players
530
00:21:55,715 --> 00:21:58,582
sent to the hospital
by those Navy guys.
531
00:21:58,650 --> 00:22:01,235
You ever ordered
a brushback pitch
532
00:22:01,304 --> 00:22:02,703
as a manger?
533
00:22:02,771 --> 00:22:06,290
Commander, I have never ordered
anyone to go head-hunting.
534
00:22:09,095 --> 00:22:11,528
MacKENZIE:
According to this statement
from Lance Corporal Owens,
535
00:22:11,597 --> 00:22:12,930
Omar Billah spit at you.
536
00:22:12,998 --> 00:22:15,382
You neglected to mention that.
537
00:22:15,451 --> 00:22:17,217
Ma'am, why do you people
even care about Billah?
538
00:22:17,286 --> 00:22:18,652
He was trying to start a riot.
539
00:22:18,721 --> 00:22:20,053
Like that EPW camp
in Afghanistan
540
00:22:20,122 --> 00:22:21,788
where they rioted
and killed the CIA guy.
541
00:22:21,857 --> 00:22:23,907
Lance Corporal, what really
happened that night?
542
00:22:23,976 --> 00:22:26,026
Ma'am, I have no idea.
543
00:22:26,112 --> 00:22:27,978
Maybe you had good reason.
544
00:22:28,046 --> 00:22:30,448
Maybe Billah
attacked you somehow.
545
00:22:30,516 --> 00:22:31,565
I didn't kill him.
546
00:22:31,634 --> 00:22:32,867
I hope not.
547
00:22:32,952 --> 00:22:35,452
But you had a motive, and you
confessed, and unless we
548
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,721
come up with something
brilliant, like the truth,
549
00:22:37,790 --> 00:22:40,691
you're going to do 20-to-life
in Leavenworth.
550
00:22:53,706 --> 00:22:55,039
Morning, Petty Officer.
551
00:22:55,107 --> 00:22:56,173
Is he in yet?
552
00:22:56,241 --> 00:22:58,358
He's, uh, going
to court today, ma'am.
553
00:22:58,427 --> 00:23:00,294
First time in years.
554
00:23:00,379 --> 00:23:01,629
Maybe I could switch
cases with him.
555
00:23:01,714 --> 00:23:03,280
Problems, ma'am?
I just want
556
00:23:03,349 --> 00:23:05,299
to hang that Kelly kid
upside down and shake him.
557
00:23:05,384 --> 00:23:07,500
You find anything
good on the, uh,
558
00:23:07,570 --> 00:23:09,203
the Norfolk Sun reporter?
Here's what I've got.
559
00:23:09,272 --> 00:23:11,004
I've been trying to get info
on Omar Billah,
560
00:23:11,074 --> 00:23:12,673
but I keep hitting
a brick wall.
561
00:23:12,741 --> 00:23:14,674
The Marine Captain who
ran the EPW compound
562
00:23:14,744 --> 00:23:16,210
didn't seem to know
much about him either.
563
00:23:16,278 --> 00:23:17,510
RAPAPORT:
I didn't have access
564
00:23:17,579 --> 00:23:18,678
to the prisoners' histories, ma'am.
565
00:23:18,748 --> 00:23:19,780
Can you get me the names
566
00:23:19,849 --> 00:23:21,281
of the two soldiers
Omar Billah killed?
567
00:23:21,350 --> 00:23:23,150
Again, that's information
I wouldn't have access to.
568
00:23:23,219 --> 00:23:24,151
Well, who would?
569
00:23:24,220 --> 00:23:25,652
That's a good
question, ma'am.
570
00:23:25,721 --> 00:23:27,487
Okay, find me the names
of the marines
571
00:23:27,556 --> 00:23:29,156
who transported Billah
to your compound.
572
00:23:29,225 --> 00:23:30,657
We didn't maintain
intake records
573
00:23:30,726 --> 00:23:31,992
on every prisoner, ma'am.
574
00:23:32,061 --> 00:23:35,428
What is the big mystery
about Omar Billah?
575
00:23:35,497 --> 00:23:37,164
(thunder rumbles)
576
00:23:37,233 --> 00:23:38,932
Captain Rapaport,
are you attempting
577
00:23:39,001 --> 00:23:40,584
to obstruct a
JAG investigation?
578
00:23:40,636 --> 00:23:43,069
Not of my own accord, ma'am.
579
00:23:43,139 --> 00:23:44,404
I-I beg you pardon?
Ma'am, if you want
580
00:23:44,473 --> 00:23:47,007
to find out about Billah,
you'll have to go higher up
581
00:23:47,076 --> 00:23:48,642
the chain of command than me.
582
00:23:48,727 --> 00:23:49,860
How high?
583
00:23:49,929 --> 00:23:51,862
High.
584
00:23:51,931 --> 00:23:53,463
PHELPS:
I'm lucky the ball didn't hit me
585
00:23:53,533 --> 00:23:54,565
half an inch lower,
586
00:23:54,634 --> 00:23:56,199
because I might not
be here right now.
587
00:23:56,268 --> 00:23:58,702
RABB:
Did Petty Officer Crawford
hit you your first time at bat?
588
00:23:58,771 --> 00:24:00,203
No, sir, my second.
589
00:24:00,272 --> 00:24:02,205
What happened your first time
at bat, Lieutenant?
590
00:24:02,274 --> 00:24:04,542
I hit a single to
left field, sir.
591
00:24:04,610 --> 00:24:07,545
And what happened
to the next batter?
592
00:24:07,613 --> 00:24:09,513
He hit an easy ground ball
to the second baseman.
593
00:24:09,582 --> 00:24:11,481
I knew the only way
to avoid a double play
594
00:24:11,551 --> 00:24:13,150
was if I broke it up.
595
00:24:13,218 --> 00:24:14,585
How'd you do that?
596
00:24:14,654 --> 00:24:16,486
I slid into second base and
knocked down the shortstop
597
00:24:16,556 --> 00:24:18,656
so he couldn't throw
it to first, sir.
598
00:24:18,724 --> 00:24:22,492
And what was Petty Officer
Crawford's reaction to that?
599
00:24:22,562 --> 00:24:24,962
PHELPS:
Well, I slid into the shortstop pretty hard, sir.
600
00:24:25,014 --> 00:24:28,148
Got him with my spikes.
601
00:24:28,217 --> 00:24:31,167
That's when Crawford gave me a dirty look.
602
00:24:31,236 --> 00:24:32,769
Objection, Your Honor.
603
00:24:32,838 --> 00:24:33,921
"Dirty look?"
604
00:24:33,990 --> 00:24:35,806
That is rather subjective,
Counselor.
605
00:24:35,858 --> 00:24:38,958
Lieutenant, could you be more
objective in your description?
606
00:24:39,028 --> 00:24:41,495
He pointed his finger at me
607
00:24:41,564 --> 00:24:42,896
and stared hard.
608
00:24:42,982 --> 00:24:44,681
He was challenging me.
609
00:24:44,750 --> 00:24:46,850
About five seconds later, I was in the dugout,
610
00:24:46,919 --> 00:24:49,386
and I turned around; he was still staring.
611
00:24:49,455 --> 00:24:51,354
That's when I knew he'd come after me
612
00:24:51,424 --> 00:24:52,856
the next time I was at the plate.
613
00:24:52,925 --> 00:24:54,691
Your Honor, I move that
the previous testimony
614
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,359
be stricken due
to speculation.
615
00:24:56,429 --> 00:24:57,928
So ordered.
616
00:24:57,996 --> 00:24:59,062
RABB:
Lieutenant,
617
00:24:59,131 --> 00:25:01,031
if you felt that
Petty Officer Crawford
618
00:25:01,100 --> 00:25:02,700
would come after you
next time at bat,
619
00:25:02,768 --> 00:25:05,118
why were you unable
to get out of the way?
620
00:25:05,188 --> 00:25:07,020
I tried.
621
00:25:07,089 --> 00:25:08,388
but he threw the
ball behind me,
622
00:25:08,474 --> 00:25:10,908
so I'd back into it.
623
00:25:10,976 --> 00:25:13,076
Your witness.
624
00:25:13,145 --> 00:25:14,477
Lieutenant Phelps,
625
00:25:14,546 --> 00:25:16,680
I hope you're back
on that baseball field
626
00:25:16,732 --> 00:25:18,599
real soon.
Thank you, sir.
627
00:25:19,702 --> 00:25:20,800
I just, um...
628
00:25:20,870 --> 00:25:23,103
I just have one question.
629
00:25:23,188 --> 00:25:24,821
Do you think
you should be court-martialed
630
00:25:24,890 --> 00:25:26,373
for knocking down
the shortstop?
631
00:25:26,459 --> 00:25:28,158
RABB:
Objection.
632
00:25:28,211 --> 00:25:29,793
Argumentative.
BLAKELY:
Sustained.
633
00:25:29,862 --> 00:25:31,645
Save it for final arguments,
Admiral.
634
00:25:31,714 --> 00:25:33,480
Yes, sir, I will.
635
00:25:37,169 --> 00:25:38,835
MacKENZIE:
Mr. Secretary, first you asked us
636
00:25:38,888 --> 00:25:40,487
to investigate
Lance Corporal Kelly,
637
00:25:40,555 --> 00:25:43,156
and then you asked us
to stop investigating.
638
00:25:43,225 --> 00:25:45,158
I merely advised caution.
639
00:25:45,227 --> 00:25:46,293
Well, did something happen
640
00:25:46,378 --> 00:25:47,845
to make you cautious, sir?
641
00:25:47,913 --> 00:25:49,880
As I explained to the
admiral, I didn't want
642
00:25:49,932 --> 00:25:52,833
to hand propaganda
ammunition to the enemy.
643
00:25:52,902 --> 00:25:55,302
But was there
another reason, sir?
644
00:25:55,387 --> 00:25:57,520
Did you find out something
about Omar Billah
645
00:25:57,589 --> 00:25:59,506
that you don't want us
to know?
646
00:26:03,079 --> 00:26:05,512
Are you making
some kind of an accusation?
647
00:26:05,581 --> 00:26:08,515
Mr. Secretary, I have
an obligation to my client.
648
00:26:08,584 --> 00:26:11,351
If necessary, I will
subpoena you as a witness.
649
00:26:13,422 --> 00:26:14,454
(chuckles)
650
00:26:14,523 --> 00:26:17,791
You've got a lot
of damn gall, Colonel.
651
00:26:17,860 --> 00:26:19,726
Sir, I need to know
whatever it is
652
00:26:19,795 --> 00:26:22,045
that you
and Captain Rapaport know.
653
00:26:22,098 --> 00:26:24,798
There's a national
security issue here!
654
00:26:24,866 --> 00:26:27,084
Well, sir, of course
I don't want to do anything
655
00:26:27,136 --> 00:26:28,969
that would truly compromise
our security,
656
00:26:29,038 --> 00:26:30,070
but there is a marine
657
00:26:30,139 --> 00:26:31,639
who is fighting
for his freedom.
658
00:26:31,707 --> 00:26:33,140
And I personally suspect
659
00:26:33,225 --> 00:26:36,860
that he's guilty of nothing more
than being stupid.
660
00:26:39,881 --> 00:26:42,316
I'll-I'll discuss it
with the Joint Chiefs.
661
00:26:42,384 --> 00:26:43,684
Thank you.
662
00:26:43,769 --> 00:26:45,668
And please tell them
that we'll close the courtroom.
663
00:26:45,738 --> 00:26:46,770
We'll take any necessary
664
00:26:46,839 --> 00:26:48,672
security precautions.
665
00:26:48,741 --> 00:26:49,723
And, sir,
666
00:26:49,792 --> 00:26:52,776
tell them I'm not going away.
667
00:26:52,844 --> 00:26:55,011
CAREY:
Colonel Mackenzie, your witness.
668
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,229
MacKENZIE:
Captain Rapaport,
669
00:26:56,299 --> 00:26:58,165
who was Omar Billah?
670
00:26:58,233 --> 00:27:01,168
Ma'am, Omar Billah
was not a prisoner.
671
00:27:01,236 --> 00:27:03,170
He was an Iraqi exile
who was planted
672
00:27:03,238 --> 00:27:05,205
in the EPW compound
as an informant.
673
00:27:05,290 --> 00:27:07,574
MacKENZIE:
And who planted him,
Captain?
674
00:27:07,643 --> 00:27:10,010
CIA, in conjunction
with Marine Intel.
675
00:27:10,078 --> 00:27:12,446
They were using Billah
to get information
676
00:27:12,515 --> 00:27:14,130
from the other EPWs
about Saddam's
677
00:27:14,183 --> 00:27:15,282
military plans.
678
00:27:15,350 --> 00:27:17,117
How many prisoners were
in the compound
679
00:27:17,186 --> 00:27:18,469
the night Billah was killed?
680
00:27:18,521 --> 00:27:20,704
RAPAPORT:
Approximately
400, ma'am.
681
00:27:20,773 --> 00:27:23,640
Ah, so there were 400 men
with good reason to kill Billah,
682
00:27:23,709 --> 00:27:25,526
if they found out
who he really was.
683
00:27:25,611 --> 00:27:27,394
I suppose so, ma'am.
684
00:27:27,479 --> 00:27:29,146
Thank you, Captain.
685
00:27:29,214 --> 00:27:30,263
Redirect, Your Honor?
686
00:27:30,333 --> 00:27:32,182
Go ahead, Lieutenant.
687
00:27:32,234 --> 00:27:36,136
Captain Rapaport,
is there any evidence whatsoever
688
00:27:36,205 --> 00:27:37,988
of the other EPWs
689
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,306
knowing the truth
about Billah?
690
00:27:39,375 --> 00:27:40,791
No, Lieutenant.
691
00:27:40,859 --> 00:27:43,493
Was there any sign whatsoever
of any animosity
692
00:27:43,561 --> 00:27:45,012
between the EPWs
and Billah?
693
00:27:45,081 --> 00:27:46,430
They all seemed
to respect him.
694
00:27:46,499 --> 00:27:49,116
Captain Rapaport,
where was Lance Corporal Kelly
695
00:27:49,184 --> 00:27:50,650
when Omar Billah was murdered?
696
00:27:50,719 --> 00:27:53,153
His whereabouts are
unaccounted for.
697
00:27:53,222 --> 00:27:55,655
But was he one
of the first marines
698
00:27:55,724 --> 00:27:57,190
to arrive at the scene
of the crime?
699
00:27:57,259 --> 00:27:58,658
Yes.
700
00:27:58,727 --> 00:28:00,744
ROBERTS:
Do you remember hearing
Lance Corporal Kelly
701
00:28:00,813 --> 00:28:02,562
saying anything
about the dead man?
702
00:28:04,633 --> 00:28:07,067
He looked down at the body
and said,
703
00:28:07,136 --> 00:28:10,237
"Guess he won't be killing
any more Americans."
704
00:28:26,922 --> 00:28:28,188
Oh, sorry, sir.
705
00:28:28,256 --> 00:28:29,690
Hey, that was a smart move,
Lieutenant,
706
00:28:29,758 --> 00:28:31,191
saving your best
stuff for redirect.
707
00:28:31,259 --> 00:28:32,693
Well, I learned that
from you, ma'am.
708
00:28:32,761 --> 00:28:34,127
My mistake.
709
00:28:34,196 --> 00:28:36,763
Ma'am...
remember the prisoner
710
00:28:36,832 --> 00:28:39,666
Captain Rapaport told you
about who had a gun?
711
00:28:39,735 --> 00:28:41,701
Yeah, he tried to shoot his way
out of a transport truck.
712
00:28:41,771 --> 00:28:43,070
What about him?
Turns out that
incident happened
713
00:28:43,139 --> 00:28:44,138
only two weeks
after Billah
714
00:28:44,206 --> 00:28:46,607
was killed, and this
prisoner, Khaled Fadani,
715
00:28:46,675 --> 00:28:49,109
was in the same compound
with Billah that night.
716
00:28:49,177 --> 00:28:51,061
So maybe Fadani
was the killer.
717
00:28:51,129 --> 00:28:53,380
COONTZ:
Sir, when I called
718
00:28:53,449 --> 00:28:55,064
for a brushback pitch,
719
00:28:55,133 --> 00:28:57,066
I never meant for Crawford
to hit the batter.
720
00:28:57,135 --> 00:28:59,736
I'm sure the ball
just got away from him.
721
00:28:59,805 --> 00:29:01,905
Petty Officer Crawford
had great control
722
00:29:01,974 --> 00:29:03,740
that day, though,
didn't he, Lieutenant?
723
00:29:03,809 --> 00:29:05,575
Not perfect control, sir.
724
00:29:05,644 --> 00:29:07,744
He didn't give up
a single walk, did he?
725
00:29:07,813 --> 00:29:08,912
No, sir.
726
00:29:08,981 --> 00:29:10,196
Pretty damn close
to perfect,
727
00:29:10,265 --> 00:29:12,900
wouldn't you say,
Lieutenant?
728
00:29:12,968 --> 00:29:14,902
I suppose so, sir.
729
00:29:14,970 --> 00:29:16,837
Did you see videotape of
the pitch in question?
730
00:29:16,906 --> 00:29:18,906
I have, sir.
731
00:29:18,974 --> 00:29:20,674
Did you notice anything in
Petty Officer Crawford's motion
732
00:29:20,742 --> 00:29:21,808
that would give you
the impression
733
00:29:21,877 --> 00:29:22,943
the ball got away from him?
734
00:29:23,028 --> 00:29:24,845
COONTZ:
Not that I noticed, sir.
735
00:29:26,047 --> 00:29:27,814
Lieutenant,
where do you throw a pitch
736
00:29:27,883 --> 00:29:29,783
if you want to hurt the batter?
737
00:29:31,403 --> 00:29:33,086
Well... that's not
what Crawford was...
738
00:29:33,155 --> 00:29:36,122
Just answer the question,
Lieutenant, please.
739
00:29:37,693 --> 00:29:40,460
Behind the batter's head.
740
00:29:40,529 --> 00:29:41,978
Exactly where
Petty Officer Crawford
741
00:29:42,047 --> 00:29:44,014
threw the pitch.
COONTZ:
Yes, sir.
742
00:29:44,083 --> 00:29:45,698
RABB:
At 95 miles per hour.
743
00:29:45,767 --> 00:29:48,768
COONTZ:
Yes, sir, but you can't prove
that he did it on purpose.
744
00:29:48,837 --> 00:29:50,820
And even if he did,
what's the big deal?
745
00:29:50,890 --> 00:29:52,338
It's part of baseball.
746
00:29:52,407 --> 00:29:55,141
Thank you, Lieutenant,
that'll be all.
747
00:29:57,947 --> 00:30:00,480
CAREY:
Let the record reflect the members are absent.
748
00:30:00,549 --> 00:30:02,832
Proceed, Counselor.
Your Honor, I intend
to proffer evidence
749
00:30:02,901 --> 00:30:04,334
that this EPW,
Khaled Fadani,
750
00:30:04,403 --> 00:30:06,669
is a viable
alternative suspect.
751
00:30:06,738 --> 00:30:08,838
Because he was present on
the night of the murder?
752
00:30:08,907 --> 00:30:10,173
And he had a handgun.
753
00:30:10,242 --> 00:30:12,275
We don't know that he had
that gun that night,
754
00:30:12,344 --> 00:30:14,077
Your Honor.
He had it
two weeks later.
755
00:30:14,146 --> 00:30:16,563
Did it match the bullet
from the murder weapon?
756
00:30:16,631 --> 00:30:19,149
The handgun was lost somewhere
between here and Iraq,
757
00:30:19,217 --> 00:30:20,150
but according to witnesses,
758
00:30:20,219 --> 00:30:21,317
it was a Beretta
nine millimeter,
759
00:30:21,386 --> 00:30:22,502
and the weapon used
to kill Billah
760
00:30:22,571 --> 00:30:24,988
was believed to be
a nine millimeter.
761
00:30:25,056 --> 00:30:26,156
Or a .38,
762
00:30:26,225 --> 00:30:27,958
Your Honor. There's
no reason to believe
763
00:30:28,026 --> 00:30:29,960
that Fadani had anything
to do with this crime,
764
00:30:30,028 --> 00:30:32,129
except that he happened
to be there at the same time,
765
00:30:32,197 --> 00:30:34,398
and half a month later,
he shows up
766
00:30:34,466 --> 00:30:35,799
with a vaguely similar gun.
767
00:30:35,867 --> 00:30:38,302
It's possible he found out
Billah was an informant.
768
00:30:38,370 --> 00:30:39,502
CAREY:
"Possible."
769
00:30:39,571 --> 00:30:40,804
What does he say?
770
00:30:40,872 --> 00:30:43,006
He's dead, Your Honor.
He was killed
771
00:30:43,075 --> 00:30:44,107
during the escape attempt.
772
00:30:44,175 --> 00:30:45,525
So you're speculating,
Counselor.
773
00:30:45,594 --> 00:30:47,144
Your Honor, my client's life
is at stake.
774
00:30:47,212 --> 00:30:49,179
We-we need to let the members
have all the facts
775
00:30:49,248 --> 00:30:51,264
and decide for themselves.
The relevancy
of the facts
776
00:30:51,332 --> 00:30:53,633
hasn't been sufficiently
established, Your Honor.
777
00:30:53,702 --> 00:30:54,701
CAREY:
The probative value
778
00:30:54,770 --> 00:30:56,286
of this evidence is
marginal, Counselor.
779
00:30:56,355 --> 00:30:57,504
Your Honor,
in order to present
780
00:30:57,573 --> 00:30:59,656
a compelling alternative theory
of the crime,
781
00:30:59,725 --> 00:31:00,657
I need this evidence.
782
00:31:00,726 --> 00:31:01,942
Sorry, Counselor,
783
00:31:02,010 --> 00:31:03,644
you can't have it.
784
00:31:03,712 --> 00:31:06,363
The government's
objections are sustained.
785
00:31:06,431 --> 00:31:08,365
Bring in the members.
786
00:31:08,434 --> 00:31:11,718
A.J.:
Petty Officer Crawford,
where did you aim
787
00:31:11,787 --> 00:31:12,936
that pitch?
788
00:31:13,004 --> 00:31:14,438
Just in front
of the batter's chest,
789
00:31:14,506 --> 00:31:16,105
so it wouldn't hit him.
790
00:31:16,174 --> 00:31:19,108
And why were you
pitching him inside?
791
00:31:19,177 --> 00:31:21,277
We were just trying to set up
my next pitch, sir,
792
00:31:21,347 --> 00:31:23,262
which was a curveball,
low and away.
793
00:31:23,331 --> 00:31:27,601
Petty Officer, did you hit
Lieutenant Phelps on purpose?
794
00:31:27,669 --> 00:31:28,735
No, sir, I did not.
795
00:31:28,804 --> 00:31:31,120
I hate throwing
brushback pitches.
796
00:31:31,189 --> 00:31:33,623
The game before I hit
Lieutenant Phelps by mistake,
797
00:31:33,692 --> 00:31:35,792
my manager asked me to throw
at a hitter.
798
00:31:35,861 --> 00:31:37,794
I didn't do it.
799
00:31:37,863 --> 00:31:38,961
Lieutenant Phelps,
800
00:31:39,030 --> 00:31:40,280
I sincerely apologize
801
00:31:40,348 --> 00:31:42,332
for any pain
I've put you through.
802
00:31:42,401 --> 00:31:45,018
Thank you.
803
00:31:47,205 --> 00:31:49,472
Petty Officer, what
did your manager say
804
00:31:49,541 --> 00:31:51,457
when you refused to throw
the pitch he asked?
805
00:31:51,526 --> 00:31:53,293
Sir, he said I should learn
to follow orders,
806
00:31:53,361 --> 00:31:55,462
that if I ever wanted to get
to the big leagues,
807
00:31:55,530 --> 00:31:57,730
I would need to be tougher.
808
00:31:57,799 --> 00:31:58,882
So he struck
a chord of fear
809
00:31:58,951 --> 00:32:00,317
that you might not
make it in the majors.
810
00:32:00,385 --> 00:32:01,334
Objection, Your Honor.
811
00:32:01,402 --> 00:32:03,119
We're going far afield here.
812
00:32:03,188 --> 00:32:04,987
Not that far.
Overruled.
813
00:32:05,056 --> 00:32:07,140
Continue,
Petty Officer.
814
00:32:07,209 --> 00:32:09,142
I wasn't
exactly afraid, sir.
815
00:32:09,210 --> 00:32:11,311
But you felt you had
to prove your mettle.
816
00:32:11,397 --> 00:32:13,096
I don't know what
you mean, sir.
817
00:32:13,164 --> 00:32:14,431
Well, you were
in the doghouse.
818
00:32:14,499 --> 00:32:16,599
You had to get out.
819
00:32:16,668 --> 00:32:18,685
Your major league career
depended on it.
820
00:32:18,754 --> 00:32:20,253
I was just trying
to win the game, sir.
821
00:32:20,322 --> 00:32:21,988
You were afraid what
your manager might tell
822
00:32:22,057 --> 00:32:23,506
the big league
scouts, weren't you?
823
00:32:23,575 --> 00:32:25,926
You wanted to prove you could
play as a member of the team,
824
00:32:25,995 --> 00:32:29,162
so you threw
the 95-mile-an-hour fastball
825
00:32:29,230 --> 00:32:31,431
at the back of
Lieutenant Phelps' head.
826
00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:33,933
Sir... honest to God,
827
00:32:34,002 --> 00:32:35,285
I never meant to hurt him.
828
00:32:36,388 --> 00:32:38,321
Nothing further.
829
00:32:54,455 --> 00:32:56,973
SERRANO:
He said the man was a terrorist.
830
00:32:57,041 --> 00:32:59,092
And then he said,
"So I get him alone
831
00:32:59,161 --> 00:33:01,160
"at the far end of the camp,
832
00:33:01,230 --> 00:33:04,214
"put him down in the sand, and I zap him
833
00:33:04,283 --> 00:33:06,183
in the back
of the head."
834
00:33:06,251 --> 00:33:07,383
Thank you.
835
00:33:07,452 --> 00:33:09,385
Your witness.
836
00:33:09,455 --> 00:33:12,121
Ms. Serrano, if you don't mind
my saying so,
837
00:33:12,190 --> 00:33:13,924
you're a good-looking
young woman.
838
00:33:13,992 --> 00:33:15,442
So are you, Colonel.
839
00:33:15,510 --> 00:33:18,311
Would you agree
that sometimes men try
840
00:33:18,380 --> 00:33:21,865
to impress good-looking women
by exaggerating their exploits?
841
00:33:21,917 --> 00:33:24,785
He was bragging,
not exaggerating.
842
00:33:24,853 --> 00:33:26,786
And what do you base that on?
His words,
843
00:33:26,855 --> 00:33:28,788
tone, body language.
844
00:33:28,857 --> 00:33:31,258
The fact his story was
too disgusting to make up,
845
00:33:31,326 --> 00:33:33,126
and the fact everything
he said checked out.
846
00:33:33,195 --> 00:33:34,460
Ms. Serrano,
the night
847
00:33:34,529 --> 00:33:36,463
that Lance Corporal Kelly
told you that story,
848
00:33:36,532 --> 00:33:37,764
how many drinks did you have?
849
00:33:37,850 --> 00:33:38,949
Two or three.
850
00:33:39,017 --> 00:33:40,917
So, were you sober enough
to accurately assess
851
00:33:40,986 --> 00:33:43,487
his words, tone
and body language?
852
00:33:43,555 --> 00:33:44,687
I wasn't drunk.
853
00:33:44,756 --> 00:33:46,390
And even if I were,
when he talked about
854
00:33:46,458 --> 00:33:48,141
zapping somebody in
the back of the head,
855
00:33:48,210 --> 00:33:49,776
I would have sobered
up pretty quickly.
856
00:33:49,845 --> 00:33:51,410
The war in Iraq isn't
your usual beat,
857
00:33:51,479 --> 00:33:52,595
is it, Ms. Serrano?
858
00:33:52,664 --> 00:33:56,582
You cover PTA meetings,
dog shows and the like.
859
00:33:56,651 --> 00:33:57,901
I also covered regional issues.
860
00:33:57,969 --> 00:34:00,003
That's why I was hired
last week by the Times.
861
00:34:00,072 --> 00:34:01,204
Yes, I'm aware of that.
862
00:34:01,272 --> 00:34:02,538
Your, uh, your story
863
00:34:02,607 --> 00:34:05,108
on Lance Corporal Kelly gave
your career quite a boost.
864
00:34:05,177 --> 00:34:06,209
It was one factor, yes.
865
00:34:06,277 --> 00:34:07,860
So it's to your advantage
that your story
866
00:34:07,929 --> 00:34:09,529
on Kelly is found accurate.
867
00:34:09,598 --> 00:34:11,697
I would never put an
innocent man in prison
868
00:34:11,766 --> 00:34:12,849
to advance my career.
869
00:34:12,918 --> 00:34:14,000
But maybe your desire
870
00:34:14,069 --> 00:34:16,185
for advancement affected
your judgment.
871
00:34:16,254 --> 00:34:17,754
It did not.
872
00:34:17,822 --> 00:34:18,988
Ms. Serrano, you claim
873
00:34:19,057 --> 00:34:20,606
that you checked out
Lance Corporal Kelly's story,
874
00:34:20,692 --> 00:34:22,859
but did you ever talk
to his commanding officer?
875
00:34:22,928 --> 00:34:24,677
I wasn't allowed access.
876
00:34:24,746 --> 00:34:26,980
What about other marines
in Kelly's company
877
00:34:27,049 --> 00:34:29,782
or anybody else involved
in the murder investigation?
878
00:34:29,851 --> 00:34:32,085
The military is not
exactly forthcoming.
879
00:34:32,154 --> 00:34:34,620
You may have noticed
that yourself, Colonel.
880
00:34:34,689 --> 00:34:37,324
That's why I spoke with
several NGO contacts,
881
00:34:37,392 --> 00:34:39,892
as well as other civilian
and Iraqi sources.
882
00:34:39,962 --> 00:34:41,978
I spent two solid
months searching
883
00:34:42,047 --> 00:34:43,446
for anything whatsoever
884
00:34:43,515 --> 00:34:45,899
that might contradict
what Pete Kelly told me.
885
00:34:45,968 --> 00:34:47,534
There was nothing.
886
00:34:53,274 --> 00:34:54,941
How is your case going, sir?
887
00:34:55,010 --> 00:34:56,309
Oh, it never gets
any easier, Colonel.
888
00:34:56,378 --> 00:34:57,343
How about you?
889
00:34:57,412 --> 00:34:58,845
Lieutenant Roberts
is turning into
890
00:34:58,914 --> 00:35:00,263
one hell of a lawyer.
891
00:35:00,332 --> 00:35:01,581
And that bothers you?
892
00:35:01,650 --> 00:35:03,216
(chuckles)
I can remember
893
00:35:03,284 --> 00:35:04,483
when Lieutenant
first came here,
894
00:35:04,552 --> 00:35:06,085
and Harm and I took
him under our wing.
895
00:35:06,154 --> 00:35:07,487
Now he's fighting
me, pretty hard.
896
00:35:07,573 --> 00:35:09,989
I know exactly how you feel.
897
00:35:11,826 --> 00:35:13,727
If I were to
throw a baseball
898
00:35:13,795 --> 00:35:16,796
at 95 miles an hour
at anyone in this room,
899
00:35:16,865 --> 00:35:19,999
I'd be committing a crime:
assault with intent
900
00:35:20,068 --> 00:35:22,084
to cause grievous
bodily harm.
901
00:35:22,153 --> 00:35:24,337
It's no different
on the baseball field.
902
00:35:24,406 --> 00:35:26,673
When Petty Officer Crawford
threw the fastball
903
00:35:26,741 --> 00:35:29,042
at Lieutenant Phelps,
he intended to hurt him.
904
00:35:29,110 --> 00:35:30,810
When a hockey player
swings a stick
905
00:35:30,879 --> 00:35:32,912
at another player's head,
that's assault.
906
00:35:32,981 --> 00:35:35,682
When a race car driver steers
another driver into the wall,
907
00:35:35,750 --> 00:35:37,717
that's assault.
908
00:35:37,803 --> 00:35:40,503
Your Honor, we can't allow
this kind of thuggery
909
00:35:40,571 --> 00:35:42,806
to go unpunished
just because it's done
910
00:35:42,874 --> 00:35:44,190
in the name of sports.
911
00:35:44,259 --> 00:35:47,577
I recommend this charge
be resolved at court-martial.
912
00:35:47,646 --> 00:35:49,812
Thank you, sir.
913
00:35:50,882 --> 00:35:52,482
Your Honor, the pitch
914
00:35:52,551 --> 00:35:56,520
that Petty Officer Crawford
threw was not unlawful.
915
00:35:56,588 --> 00:35:59,088
And it is different
on a baseball field.
916
00:35:59,158 --> 00:36:01,291
When a batter steps up
to the plate,
917
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,293
they wear a helmet.
918
00:36:03,362 --> 00:36:06,679
From youth leagues
to Major Leagues,
919
00:36:06,748 --> 00:36:08,647
they all know there
is a possibility
920
00:36:08,716 --> 00:36:10,049
of being hit
by the ball,
921
00:36:10,118 --> 00:36:12,785
and this is
implied consent.
922
00:36:12,854 --> 00:36:14,888
Some of the most
famous pitchers
923
00:36:14,956 --> 00:36:16,406
in our history--
924
00:36:16,475 --> 00:36:20,276
Bob Gibson, Don Drysdale,
and even now, Roger Clemens--
925
00:36:20,345 --> 00:36:23,312
are well-known
for pitching inside.
926
00:36:23,381 --> 00:36:25,731
If we take legal action
927
00:36:25,817 --> 00:36:27,717
against Petty
Officer Crawford,
928
00:36:27,786 --> 00:36:29,552
and other courts
follow suit,
929
00:36:29,621 --> 00:36:31,137
then you can
bid good-bye
930
00:36:31,205 --> 00:36:32,772
to our national pastime.
931
00:36:32,841 --> 00:36:36,109
It'll be impossible
for pitchers to play the game
932
00:36:36,177 --> 00:36:38,411
without worrying
about being sued
933
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,680
or charged for assault.
934
00:36:40,749 --> 00:36:44,917
If a... a fastball happens
to tail in
935
00:36:44,986 --> 00:36:47,420
or a knuckleball knuckles
the wrong way,
936
00:36:47,489 --> 00:36:49,956
they could face jail time.
937
00:36:50,024 --> 00:36:52,259
Your Honor...
938
00:36:54,329 --> 00:36:56,980
don't let lawyers kill baseball.
939
00:36:59,384 --> 00:37:01,817
Let these young men play
the game the way
940
00:37:01,887 --> 00:37:03,352
it's always been played.
941
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,441
MacKENZIE:
I believe this other prisoner,
942
00:37:08,527 --> 00:37:10,459
Khaled Fadani,
committed the murder,
943
00:37:10,529 --> 00:37:13,262
but we can't introduce
that possibility in court.
944
00:37:13,331 --> 00:37:14,564
Ma'am, that
doesn't seem right.
945
00:37:14,632 --> 00:37:15,615
Well, don't worry
about that now.
946
00:37:15,684 --> 00:37:16,866
You need to stay calm
on the stand.
947
00:37:16,935 --> 00:37:18,784
What am I supposed
to say, ma'am?
948
00:37:18,853 --> 00:37:20,019
Make them understand
949
00:37:20,088 --> 00:37:21,721
why you told a crazy story
950
00:37:21,789 --> 00:37:23,723
to some girl you met in a bar.
951
00:37:23,792 --> 00:37:26,042
I'm not sure I understand.
952
00:37:26,111 --> 00:37:28,528
Well, we better figure that out.
953
00:37:28,597 --> 00:37:30,530
MAN:
Unquestionably,
954
00:37:30,599 --> 00:37:34,400
Lieutenant Phelps has suffered
as the result of a violent act.
955
00:37:36,471 --> 00:37:37,870
However, I am inclined
to believe
956
00:37:37,939 --> 00:37:39,539
that the line under these facts,
957
00:37:39,608 --> 00:37:42,675
between criminal assault
and an unfortunate,
958
00:37:42,744 --> 00:37:45,945
though predictable sports
accident is too thin
959
00:37:46,014 --> 00:37:48,814
to be resolved
in a court-martial.
960
00:37:48,883 --> 00:37:50,916
I am therefore recommending
961
00:37:50,985 --> 00:37:53,253
that the convening authority
take no further action
962
00:37:53,321 --> 00:37:54,720
on this case.
963
00:37:54,789 --> 00:37:56,422
This hearing is adjourned.
964
00:37:56,491 --> 00:37:58,558
(bangs gavel)
965
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:03,929
Well, sir, nice
job for someone
966
00:38:03,999 --> 00:38:05,949
who's been out of the
game for a while.
967
00:38:06,017 --> 00:38:07,934
I'm going to give you
the benefit of the doubt
968
00:38:08,003 --> 00:38:09,302
and take that as a compliment.
969
00:38:13,759 --> 00:38:16,776
Commander, what
happens next?
970
00:38:16,845 --> 00:38:18,010
Well, usually, Major,
971
00:38:18,079 --> 00:38:20,145
the convening authority accepts
the recommendation
972
00:38:20,214 --> 00:38:21,447
of the investigating officer.
973
00:38:21,516 --> 00:38:22,882
But not always, right?
974
00:38:22,968 --> 00:38:24,250
Dad.
We can still
fight this thing.
975
00:38:24,318 --> 00:38:26,602
I don't want to keep
fighting this thing.
976
00:38:26,671 --> 00:38:28,054
The Admiral was right.
977
00:38:28,122 --> 00:38:30,640
It would be bad for
baseball if we won.
978
00:38:30,708 --> 00:38:31,758
Look...
979
00:38:31,827 --> 00:38:33,493
If you want me to
get the guy back,
980
00:38:33,562 --> 00:38:35,811
I'll hit a home run off
of him next time, okay?
981
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,397
You could have died.
982
00:38:37,482 --> 00:38:39,582
But I didn't.
983
00:38:39,651 --> 00:38:41,601
RABB:
Major, I can't imagine
984
00:38:41,669 --> 00:38:44,304
what it was like
to see your son lying there.
985
00:38:44,372 --> 00:38:46,339
But I think this time,
986
00:38:46,408 --> 00:38:47,806
you should listen
to the Lieutenant.
987
00:38:47,875 --> 00:38:50,677
He may just know what's
best for both of you.
988
00:38:57,102 --> 00:38:59,035
Thank you, Commander.
989
00:38:59,104 --> 00:39:01,070
Good luck, Lieutenant.
990
00:39:04,509 --> 00:39:07,110
Before I was stationed
at the EPW compound,
991
00:39:07,178 --> 00:39:09,345
I was a part of the march
on Baghdad.
992
00:39:09,413 --> 00:39:11,130
According to your service
record books,
993
00:39:11,198 --> 00:39:12,298
you fought in Nasiriyah.
994
00:39:12,366 --> 00:39:13,299
Yes, I did, ma'am.
995
00:39:13,368 --> 00:39:14,350
What was that like?
996
00:39:14,419 --> 00:39:16,469
Objection. Relevance,
Your Honor.
997
00:39:16,538 --> 00:39:17,937
Goes to the accused's state
of mind
998
00:39:18,005 --> 00:39:19,439
when telling Ms. Serrano
the story.
999
00:39:19,524 --> 00:39:20,856
Overruled... for now.
1000
00:39:20,925 --> 00:39:22,141
You may answer.
1001
00:39:23,711 --> 00:39:25,011
It was pretty intense, ma'am.
1002
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:26,846
In what way?
1003
00:39:26,915 --> 00:39:29,031
Well, our company's tanks
were diverted
1004
00:39:29,100 --> 00:39:31,250
to the east, and we didn't
have any air support,
1005
00:39:31,319 --> 00:39:32,986
so we had to go
through Ambush Alley
1006
00:39:33,054 --> 00:39:34,120
pretty much on our own.
1007
00:39:34,206 --> 00:39:35,438
"Ambush Alley?"
1008
00:39:35,507 --> 00:39:36,872
South of
Nasiriyah, ma'am.
1009
00:39:36,941 --> 00:39:38,708
There's three
miles of dirt road
1010
00:39:38,776 --> 00:39:40,309
with buildings
and alleyways
1011
00:39:40,379 --> 00:39:41,611
on both sides.
1012
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,848
That's where we took
most of our casualties.
1013
00:39:44,916 --> 00:39:46,115
How many of the men
1014
00:39:46,184 --> 00:39:48,634
in your company were
killed or wounded?
1015
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:52,154
I've never known
the exact number, ma'am.
1016
00:39:52,224 --> 00:39:54,490
Lance Corporal Kelly,
1017
00:39:54,559 --> 00:39:56,092
when you were fighting
in Ambush Alley,
1018
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,927
did you kill anyone?
1019
00:39:59,997 --> 00:40:02,665
Lance Corporal?
1020
00:40:02,734 --> 00:40:04,033
Do I have to answer, ma'am?
1021
00:40:04,102 --> 00:40:05,301
CAREY:
Are you afraid
you might
1022
00:40:05,370 --> 00:40:06,503
incriminate yourself?
1023
00:40:06,571 --> 00:40:09,438
No, ma'am.
It's just that...
1024
00:40:11,576 --> 00:40:14,844
Ma'am, there were four of us
in one of the assault vehicles.
1025
00:40:14,913 --> 00:40:17,413
We were tearing up the road as fast as we could.
1026
00:40:17,482 --> 00:40:19,615
(gunfire, shouting)
1027
00:40:23,422 --> 00:40:26,489
But we got hit by an RPG.
1028
00:40:26,558 --> 00:40:28,490
(shouting)
1029
00:40:34,498 --> 00:40:37,200
We were trapped.
1030
00:40:37,269 --> 00:40:39,669
Our driver was wounded.
1031
00:40:43,624 --> 00:40:45,257
(shouting)
1032
00:40:48,296 --> 00:40:49,395
(yelling)
1033
00:40:52,918 --> 00:40:55,334
(grunting)
1034
00:41:03,377 --> 00:41:05,711
(groaning)
1035
00:41:07,381 --> 00:41:09,498
I thought if I could just get him to cover.
1036
00:41:13,170 --> 00:41:14,771
Wilson?
1037
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,356
Oh, God.
1038
00:41:16,424 --> 00:41:17,957
No! Wilson.
1039
00:41:18,025 --> 00:41:19,775
(grunting)
1040
00:41:27,068 --> 00:41:29,435
I just couldn't save him, ma'am.
1041
00:41:32,507 --> 00:41:35,107
MacKENZIE:
Why didn't you tell
Ginny Serrano that story?
1042
00:41:35,176 --> 00:41:38,077
I've never told anyone
that story, ma'am.
1043
00:41:38,163 --> 00:41:40,663
I did kill people in Iraq.
1044
00:41:40,731 --> 00:41:43,716
Those two men in Ambush Alley
and maybe others, too.
1045
00:41:45,787 --> 00:41:48,320
But it didn't do any good;
Randy still died.
1046
00:41:48,389 --> 00:41:50,673
MacKENZIE:
Lance Corporal Kelly,
when, uh, veterans
1047
00:41:50,742 --> 00:41:53,459
of Operation Iraqi Freedom refer
to the term,
1048
00:41:53,527 --> 00:41:57,096
"the million-dollar question,"
what does that mean?
1049
00:41:57,165 --> 00:41:59,098
It's the question
you asked me, ma'am.
1050
00:41:59,184 --> 00:42:01,116
And Ginny Serrano asked it, too.
1051
00:42:01,186 --> 00:42:03,252
Did you kill anybody?
1052
00:42:03,321 --> 00:42:05,254
And how many times have
you been asked that?
1053
00:42:05,323 --> 00:42:08,391
In the four months
since I've been home,
1054
00:42:08,459 --> 00:42:10,943
probably 100, 200 times.
1055
00:42:11,029 --> 00:42:13,095
It gets on your nerves,
doesn't it?
1056
00:42:13,164 --> 00:42:14,797
Ma'am, it makes you feel creepy.
1057
00:42:14,866 --> 00:42:16,366
MacKENZIE:
So what do you say
1058
00:42:16,434 --> 00:42:17,667
when people ask you
that question?
1059
00:42:17,736 --> 00:42:21,054
I make a joke, ma'am,
or change the subject.
1060
00:42:21,122 --> 00:42:23,756
Sometimes I make up a story just
to shock people or something.
1061
00:42:23,825 --> 00:42:25,024
Maybe make them
feel creepy, too.
1062
00:42:25,093 --> 00:42:26,592
And that's what
you were doing
1063
00:42:26,678 --> 00:42:28,410
that night
with Ginny Serrano?
Yes, ma'am.
1064
00:42:28,479 --> 00:42:30,479
Because when you're a good
and decent young man,
1065
00:42:30,548 --> 00:42:32,614
it's hard to talk
about killing people, isn't it?
1066
00:42:32,684 --> 00:42:35,117
Objection.
Counsel is testifying.
1067
00:42:35,186 --> 00:42:36,485
CAREY:
Sustained.
1068
00:42:36,554 --> 00:42:38,554
Is it hard
to talk about
1069
00:42:38,622 --> 00:42:40,857
killing people, Lance Corporal?
1070
00:42:42,910 --> 00:42:46,312
Ma'am, I'm proud I was a part
of our mission in Iraq.
1071
00:42:48,383 --> 00:42:51,200
But yes, it's very hard.
1072
00:42:51,269 --> 00:42:53,586
Lance Corporal Kelly,
did you shoot Omar Billah
1073
00:42:53,655 --> 00:42:54,887
in the back of the head?
1074
00:42:54,956 --> 00:42:56,555
No, ma'am.
1075
00:42:56,624 --> 00:42:59,292
I would never dishonor
the Marine Corps in that way.
1076
00:42:59,361 --> 00:43:01,294
It would show disrespect
to the memory
1077
00:43:01,363 --> 00:43:03,996
of my fellow marines who died.
1078
00:43:09,137 --> 00:43:12,038
Will the senior member please
publish the findings?
1079
00:43:15,109 --> 00:43:18,577
Lance Corporal Peter Kelly,
United States Marine Corps.
1080
00:43:18,646 --> 00:43:20,780
On the charge
and specification of murder,
1081
00:43:20,848 --> 00:43:22,982
this court-martial finds you...
1082
00:43:23,051 --> 00:43:24,650
not guilty.
1083
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:26,786
CAREY:
This court is
hereby adjourned.
1084
00:43:26,854 --> 00:43:28,287
(bangs gavel)
1085
00:43:28,355 --> 00:43:29,488
Thank you, Colonel.
1086
00:43:29,557 --> 00:43:31,490
You're welcome.
1087
00:43:32,611 --> 00:43:33,710
Based on watching you
1088
00:43:33,778 --> 00:43:34,911
at this court-
martial, ma'am,
1089
00:43:34,980 --> 00:43:36,079
I have a hunch.
1090
00:43:36,147 --> 00:43:37,246
What's that?
1091
00:43:37,315 --> 00:43:38,414
I think sometimes
1092
00:43:38,483 --> 00:43:40,116
people ask you the
million-dollar question.
1093
00:43:40,184 --> 00:43:42,418
You know what, Lieutenant?
I never tell the truth.
