MAN: Enter of thine
own free will and
without fear.

Listen...

to the words
of the great goddess of old.

Once in the month and better
it be when the moon is full,

you shall assemble
in some secret place

and adore the spirit of me

who is clean of all the wise.

In my honor, you shall sing,

dance, make music,
and harm none in my presence,

for mine is the ecstasy
of the spirit on earth.

ALL:
So mote it be.

Be free, joyous,

and sky-clad in
your great rite.

WOMAN [
over PA
]:
Flight 4-16 from Houston is

now arriving at Gate 14B.

Flight 4-16
from Houston is now...

Welcome to Gulfport,
gentlemen.

Thank you.
At ease, Chief.

Consider yourselves guests

of the Construction
Battalion Center, sirs.

Thank you. Lead on.Uh, sir, we're parked

in the far lot:
you feel like taking a hike?

If you feel
like carrying our luggage.

Of course, sir.

Cute.

We didn't want
to blow your cover, Mac.

What about our friendship?

I'm friendly with a Lieutenant
Colonel Sarah MacKenzie.

I don't know much about

a Chief Petty Officer
Bonnie Johnson.

She is just as unforgiving.

You do look snappy
in that uniform, ma'am.

You have baby food on yours,
Lieutenant.

So, uh, what do
you know, anyway?

Typing is hard on
the fingernails.

About witches, Mac.

They worship naked.

Really?Mm-hmm.

Did you?

So, what was it like?

Was it cold?

Was there sex involved?

I went for it; it
was a warm night...

and no one touched me.

Did they touch each other,
ma'am?

No. We just danced
around a bonfire

and, when the flames
were low enough,

we jumped over it.

You jumped
over a fire naked?

Thanking my track
and field coach all the way.

So what have
you found out?

Harm, I've been talking
to Wiccans all week.

I haven't been able
to find anything

to substantiate
Petty Officer Plunket's claim

that she was raped.

We have a meeting
with her in the morning.

We'll see what she has to say.

So are you a witch now, ma'am?

In training, Bud.

They've taken me
into their confidence,

so, I don't want to hear any
cracks out of either of you.

How was your trip
to Australia, ma'am?

It was excellent.

Not used to seeing you
driving one of these, Mac.

What'd you expect?

Bud.

A broomstick, sir?

[
tires screech
]

PLUNKET: It happened right after
my initiation, sir.

Chief Merker--
he's the high priest--

he walked me to my quarters.

I said good night,
but, when I opened the door,

he followed me in.

That's when it happened.

Well, did you resist?

I wanted to, sir.

Then why didn't you?

I did, sir...

in my head.

And you felt that
that would be enough.

Sir, I couldn't speak.

You were panicked.

No, sir.

RABB: You're not being
very clear, Petty Officer.

Chief Merker put
a spell on me, sir.

MACKENZIE:
I'm speechless.

ROBERTS:
And we're helpless, ma'am.

RABB:
There's no way
to make this fly.

You want to drop it?

Well, what's
our argument?

The petty officer
couldn't say no

because Chief Merker
put a spell on her?

Need I remind you
that Navy policy requires

all personnel
to take seriously

any charge of sexual assault?

We don't have anywhere to begin
with this.

Well, we better figure it out.

I was sent down here because
of Wicca's growing presence

in the military.

I got the same speech, Mac.

The Navy wants to know
if this is an isolated incident.

Otherwise, it has
to reevaluate its policies

on religious freedoms.

MACKENZIE:
So what do we have?

RABB: Well, we have what
you've given us--

"Chief Merker is
friendly, accommodating

and personally powerful."

I'll dig deeper.

What if we go public with this?

It could open

a conversation
within Wicca.

Something might fall out.

Works for me.

Bud, get me what you can
on these names, huh?

Yes, sir.

Oh, sir, uh, F.Y.I.

I found a case in the manual
for courts martial

that involves Santeria
and live chickens.

What?

[
phone ringing
]

[
groaning
]

Hello?

Oh, I woke you up.

Bloody inconsiderate...

I'm sorry.

No, to do it by phone.

Should have been lying
next to me nuzzling me awake.

You know,
I keep smelling you everywhere--

on my pillows,
my clothes, my towels...

can't bring myself to wash them.

Well, promise me you'll do it
before I visit again.

If you promise to visit again.

I can't take leave until July.

What am I supposed to do
until then?

I don't know-- but, don't do it
with anyone else.

You think I would?

Well, you're not yourself,
are you?

You're Chief Johnson.

Mmm. I hadn't thought
of it that way.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Well, we're moving forward
down here, Mic.

Expect more naked dancing.

As long as you send me a tape.

[
laughing
]

Sir?

The Wicca research?

Thanks.

"Pre-Christian,
earth-based reconstruction

of European tribal worship--

not only paganistic
but polytheistic.

Gods and goddesses."

No animal sacrifice.

No devil worship.

What's this?

I cast a wider net, sir.

"A frightening form
of witchcraft was

reportedly practiced not in
Salem, but in the deep South.

The witches
in these regions were said

to have cast crippling spells
and even sacrificed humans

in their quest
for union with the Devil."

What does this have to do
with Wiccans, Bud?

Well, the petty officer claimed

that she was the victim
of a spell, sir.

Sir, this is not
one of my paranormal fixations.

Is this one
of your normal fixations?

Sir, here.
In 1916,

a swarm of beetles
descended on Harrison County.

In the early '40s,

a hundred dogs went missing
in the span of a week.

And as late as 1993...

Bud...

I'll, uh, look it over.

Do you think
the colonel might be
interested, sir?

I'll keep her informed.

Thanks.

Yes, sir.

Hey. How you doing, Chief?

Well, the Navy thinks
I'm a rapist,

and the papers say I made
a pact with the Devil,

and there's a guy out
in the parking lot

who wants to castrate me.

Mind if I sit down?

Mmm, please.

Thanks.
WOMAN:
You hungry, Chief?

Uh, sure.

Then don't sit here.

No one seems
to want to take our order.

Well, that's okay, Chief.

You got friends.

Well, I'm really glad
you're one of them.

You know, Bonnie,

if you're going
to stick with us,

you should know
this could be a rough ride.

Wiccans are pretty
open-minded about sex.

Consensual sex.

Yeah, and we take
a lot of heat for it,

and this was
our worst nightmare.

It gives fuel to our enemies,
and it can destroy us.

MERKER: You know
that's the crazy part about it?

What happened between me

and Petty Officer Plunket was
consensual.

If I'm guilty of anything,

it's not realizing
how naive she was.

WOMAN: The Lord has
not forsaken you.

You can still be saved.

Come into His arms.

There is no warmer place

than the firmament...

Ma'am, you're
not welcome here.

♪ Marvelous grace
of our loving Lord ♪

♪ Grace that exceeds
our sin and guilt ♪

♪ Yonder on Calvary's... ♪

Come on, let's go.

♪ There where the blood ♪

♪ Of the lamb was spilled ♪

♪ Grace, grace, God's grace ♪

♪ Grace that is greater
than all our sin ♪

MERKER:
Well, Wicca's growing
in the military

because it's one
of the few institutions

that will let us be,
or so we thought.

MACKENZIE: There was some talk
of a study group at Norfolk,

but it never happened.

Well, Bonnie,
I want you to know,

I really appreciate
your support.

I mean, you're
only here a week

and you're already
in the thick of it.

Most people don't get us.

Well, most people don't
cast spells, Chief.

Spiritual magic.

It's to harness positive energy.

I mean, it's not
like we're turning people
into toadstools.

Can you?

I believe my faith gives me
the power to do anything.

Well, good night.

-Where you going?
-To sleep.

You're not going to let me
be alone tonight, are you?

Yes, Chief.

Okay.

TINER:
Good morning, Admiral.

Your calls, sir.

Everybody wants
a piece of me, Tiner.

Nothing lights up people
like sex and witchcraft.

Monsignor Doherty...

A.C.L.U., Wiccan Circle...

Congressman Steelsmith.

Confirming your 9:00
for tomorrow, sir.

Yeah, it's his district.

Probably wants to meddle,
misses the smell of litigation.
