Commander Pagano,
I've identified the encryption

on the North Korean
submarine's message.
It's translating.

How vital is it, Senior Chief?

Extremely.

The sub's C.O. is sending

birthday greetings
to his wife.

-Evening, Commander Stoechler.
-Senior Chief.

How was your
meeting, Commander?

Could have been handled
on the STU-three.

I think Captain Reeves
makes me drive out
to Group Command

just to remind me
who's boss.

Anything I should be
aware of, sir?

No. What's happening here?

System maintenance.

SAT relays should be
coming down.

I'll get them, sir.

[beeping]

[electronic beeping]

Base security, sir?

Maybe, Senior Chief.
Go ahead and secure the...

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

Commander, what the...?

[gunshot]

[theme music playing]

This is a classified crime
scene, Commander Rabb.

I was read-in this morning,
Agent Holland.

I'm through in back.
Let's wrap up.

Someone pulling strings
for you, Commander?

Admiral Danaco wants the Navy's
interests represented here.

These were his people
he wants to know why
they were killed.

Well, you won't find
that out here.

Naval Security Group
removed all classified materials

before we got the bodies out.

They provide you with
a list of files taken?

Ever deal with NSG, Commander?

Then you know Captain Reeves'
favorite toy
is the "top secret" stamp.

Well, I'll have a word
with the captain.

He'll recognize
our need to know.

That wasn't his attitude
when we got here last night.

Three of the Navy's top
cryptanalysts have been shot.

He's going to have to talk to us
whether he likes it or not.

Right.

[Rabb]
And I want a copy
of the security tape.

I'll make you one
as soon as we get
ours from NSG.

[chuckles softly]
How'd the shooter get in?

Uh, still running that down.

You want to take me through it?

Professional job.
Senior Chief Trujillo
was a clean kill.

Still, it took him three shots
to get Commander Stoechler.

Rick Stoechler?

You knew him?

We served together
on the
Midway.

They said there were
three down, they didn't...

they didn't give names.

Has his wife been notified?

Captain Reeves told her
this morning.

Wow.

I'll, uh...

What about the third victim,
where was he killed?

Who said he was killed?

[Pagano]
I stepped back
hit the panic button
on the keypad and dove.

He shot me twice.

He would have finished the job
if that vault door
hadn't closed.

How did you get out?

I used the vault phone
to call base security.

When they turned
off the secure warning,
I just opened the door.

Did you get a good look
at the shooter?

No, sir, he was
wearing a ball cap.

It happened pretty quickly.

Well, Commander Stoechler's
area of expertise

was Asian languages.
He had also recently
spent time in New London

working on counter-
intelligence programs.

Uh, your last billet
before this was Beijing

which leads me to believe
that your intel unit's area

of concern is the Pan Pacific.

-Yes, sir.
-What were you
working on?

The exact nature of the intel
is classified, Commander.

-I'm cleared for this, Captain.
-Only at level one, not higher.

Respectfully, sir,
you cannot determine the level
to which I'm cleared.

Classified material
is classified
by the classifying authority.

Meaning you, Captain?

Admiral Danaco has asked me
to conduct a JAGMAN
investigation, Captain.

He wants to know why these
people were killed.

What they were working on
may be key to that, sir.

I'd like for Jay
to get some rest.

We're done talking.

You used your engagement ring
to bail out a Marine?

It wasn't an engagement ring
anymore, sir.

And you knew the child
who may have been injured
during the evacuation?

Her name was Lylyana.
She was a dependent
of a consulate worker.

She lead us to the LZ, sir.
When the shelling started,
we left her there.

We don't know what happened
to her, Admiral.

Well, I know you, Mac.
I'm sure you wanted
to go back for her

but you did do the right thing
and get your people to safety.

Well, Colonel,
you had an eventful T-A-D.

We've got a new JAG in house
if you want to take some leave,
now is a good time.

Oh, I'd like to get back
to work, Admiral.

You must be tired, Colonel.
We're a long way
from the Indian Ocean.

Why don't you start
fresh tomorrow?

Aye, aye, sir.

[woman]
NSG was here this morning.

They took everything out
of Rick's office.

Were the boys at home?

At school.

They don't even know yet.

You know what
Captain Reeves told me?

He said that Rick had
a "work-related mishap."

Like I'm stupid,
and I don't know

that when you work in
intelligence

mishap means murder.

Were they looking
for anything specific?

[sighs] I don't know.

Well, do you know
what programs Rick
was working on?

Harm, we was a nut
about security.

Eleven years of marriage,
and he never talked
to me about his work.

You know when he was
deployed on foreign soil
I worried.

I knew he was a target

but he was on a secure base
in Washington.

How could this happen?

A lot of people want to know

the answer to that question,
Michelle.

He handled security
for the
Jimmy Carter
program.

I can't believe that it was
just yesterday that Rick
and Captain Reeves were...

What?

They had a phone conversation
about the
Jimmy Carter.

Rick had sent him
some kind of report.

Look, that's all I know.

I heard a few words

and then Rick closed
the office door.

I don't know
what I'm going to tell them.

Bye.

You want me to stay?

There's nothing
you can do.

Commander, this tape
came for you.

It's from Agent Holland.

-Thanks, Gunny.
-Yes, sir.

Afternoon, Commander.

-Harriet.
-Harm.

Sturgis,
you got a minute?

For you? I got all day.

What do you know
about the
Jimmy Carter?

Oh,
Carter's
a one of a kind.

She's a modified Seawolf,
all top secret
still in the testing stage.

When you were a Force Judge
Advocate for ComSubPac

you ever come across
any cases of espionage

dealing with our submarine fleet
in the Pacific?

Yeah, two or three times.

What can you tell me about them?

Uh, this have something
to do with your murders?

How'd you know about that?

Word gets out.

Harm, there's, uh...
six or seven countries
that would give a lot

to know the specs on
the
Jimmy Carter.

Well, do you know anybody
I can talk to?

I know someone at Norfolk.
I'll contact them for you.

Colonel!

Colonel,
you forgot your picture!

Get in! We've got
to get these people out, now!

Colonel!

Go back! Go back!

Colonel!

[knocks on door]

Come in.

Sir.

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

Rick was already dead.

That third shot was
just for spite.

Seen this thing twice...

Killer had this thing
timed down to the second.

The only reason that he missed
Lieutenant Commander
Pagano

was because
Commander Stoechler

didn't go down
with the first shot.

He was trying
to secure the vault.

What did you
get, Gunny?

It's been determined
the shooter entered

the Naval Annex
posing as a driver
for a commissary delivery.

There's no delivery
that night, sir.

What did the cypherlock memory
tell us?

The last code entered was

Commander Stoechler's, sir.

Well, the killer must have
gained entry some other way.

[knocking]

Hello, Harm.

What brings you here, Webb?

Helping a friend
in the building.

I didn't know you had
a friend in the building.

I hear you're
on the NSG murders.

Well, I can neither confirm
nor deny that.

You're busy.

We'll talk later.

It's good seeing you, Harm.

It's an internal NSG report.

There was a mole
in the intel unit

who was passing information
to the Chinese.

Does it say who, sir?

Commander Rick Stoechler.

Oh...

-Harm?
-Hey.

Um...

Ooh. Good morning, Harm.
Sturgis.

-Good morning.
-This is, uh,
Lieutenant Colonel MacKenzie.

Commander Turner.
He's our new, uh,
Staff Judge Advocate.

-Hi. It's Mac.
-Sturgis.

Harm, doesn't the colonel look
an awful lot like... Diane?

Yes, Diane? Yes.
She knows.

She knows
what happened, too.

Uh, nice to meet you.
Welcome aboard.

Well, thank you, Colonel.

I understand
you took fire in Aceh.

Yeah, we did.

I have to, uh,
see the admiral.

All right. Um...
Stop by later.

-Okay.
-Okay.

-Morning, Colonel.
-Morning, Lieutenant.

Webb's file seems
straightforward.

What's your
problem with it?

His motive for giving it
to me, sir.

Webb never does anything

that doesn't serve
his own agenda.

Makes a damning case
against
Commander Stoechler.

Yes, sir, it does.

Admiral, I'm having a hard time
believing that Rick Stoechler

was a spy.

'Cause he was your friend?

That, and...

there's something
that Captain Reeves
isn't telling us, sir.

I'm going to need time
to figure out what that is.

Well, hell,
I never knew anybody at NSG

to be forthcoming
about anything.

Admiral Danaco called me
last night.

I don't like to get calls
at home
from Three Stars, Commander.

Admiral,
the moment I have answers
so will Admiral Danaco.

Thank you, Mr. Dart.
Uh, anything State can do
to help find Lylyana

would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Lylyana?

Yeah, a little girl
from the consulate.

Uh, when the situation degraded

she helped us get to a school
where we were evac'd safely.

Sounds like a brave little girl.

Yeah. The rebels were
shelling the school
as we lifted off.

I don't know
what happened to her.

I'm sorry.

[knocking]

Sorry to interrupt.

Harm, if you can make Norfolk
by noon...?

I can do that.

Let me know
if I can do anything.

[whispering]
Okay.

Uh, I got to go.

Yep.

[Reeves]
The
Jimmy Carter
is
a faster, better-armed

nuclear-powered attack sub.

Her prime mission,
versatile

multi-mission
functionality.

What's that, sir?

Oh, strike, tactical,
surveillance, special weapons.

She's our next generation
of undersea warfare.

Have you run tests
on her recently, Captain?

Why do you ask that?

It's classified, sir.

I'm not at liberty to say.

Is there something I should be
aware of here, Commander?

There's no evidence
to suggest that
at the moment, sir, no.

-Well, that's not
very comforting.
-No, sir

but if I do find reason
for concern, sir

you'll be the first to know.

Now, about the tests

Captain...

We did tonal signature tests
two weeks ago.

Blade noise,
generator slip rate.

-Are these important, sir?
-Damn important.

They're the noises
that we worry about.

They're the ones
used to track our subs.

Hey, stranger.

Renee... wh-when
did you get back?

Just about an hour ago.
Sorry I didn't call.

Just grabbed a flight
this morning.

You okay?

Can we talk?

Yeah, sure, let's,
uh, go in my office.

Well, actually, maybe
somewhere more private?

-Try the courtroom.
-Okay.

So... what's on your mind?

I'm engaged...
to Cyrus.

-Wow.
-[laughing] Yeah.

Shocked me, too,
when I told him yes.

Cyrus, the mortician.

Now, I-I really wish
you wouldn't say it
quite like that.

Well, it's, a...
pretty big surprise.

When did it happen?

Well, um... we were
having dinner at his house...

Doesn't he live in the back
of a funeral parlor?

Yeah. [chuckles]
But you get used to it.

Huh. Really?

I know, I know, this all
just seems a little crazy.

I guess... I guess
my dad's dying...

I don't know.
It made me realize
the things that I really want

in my life.

You know, more than my job,
and more than...

what I've had.
Cy's it for me.

He loves me, Harm

like I am the only living thing
in his entire world.

Well, if that's, uh,
what you want, then...

Yeah, it is.

And look, I...
I think we both know

that you and I were never
going down the aisle.

Well, it wasn't because of you.

Oh, I know that.

I'm a catch.

Colonel, there's
a Captain Jarot on the line

-from Indonesia.
-Oh, thank you, Harriet.

-Captain Jarot?
-[Jarot]
Colonel Mackenzie.

Delightful hearing your voice
on my answering machine.

-Do you know
where Lylyana is, Captain?
-Sadly, no.

I made some inquiries
with the local hospitals
at the military authority

but one child missing
in a country
of so many missing children...

But what about
the girl's mother?

Since the mother worked
at your consulate

I suggest you contact
your State Department.

I tried that,
but the consulate was closed.

You're my last hope.

I like the sound of that.

You will be in my debt.

Well, I'm fresh
out of rings, Captain.

You insult me.

I'm sorry, I didn't me to.
Um...

will you continue to look?

I will do what I can, Colonel,
but it may not be much.

[sighs]

Agent Holland just sent over
the NCIS workup

on Commander Stoechler.

He and his wife have
joint accounts
in a Virginia bank.

-They live in Virginia, sir.
-And he has
another account

under his own name
in Maryland.

And there was
a recent deposit

of $150,000,
and Agent Holland

can't determine
where it came from.

Admiral, I-I have to believe

there's a reasonable explanation
for that.

Commander,
your friend's code

was the last one used
to gain entry.

Webb's source in Beijing names
Commander Stoechler as the mole

and now we have what
looks like payoffs?

Unless you can come up
with the answers
he looks guilty as hell.

[Rabb]
Did Rick have a relative

anybody who might
have given him
this kind of money?

No. And if he did,
he would have told me.

Michelle, I need
to find out

how that money got
into his account.

Look, he wasn't selling
information.

I didn't say that he was.

You were thinking it.

Look, Michelle,
there are issues

outside of this money.

What issues?

I wish I could tell you
but because of the sensitivity
of this intelligence...

Or the lack of.

I'm on my way
to pick up the suits

that Daniel and Sam
are going to wear

to their father's funeral,
and you come here with this.

-Do you know how pathetic it is
for you to blame Rick
-when he's not even here

-to defend himself?
-Michelle, I'm trying
to clear his name.

Look, I don't know where
the money came from.

If someone was
selling information

it wasn't Rick,
and if someone said it was

they are lying.
And if you don't...

Forget it.

[car door slamming]

[engine starting]

[Rabb]
It doesn't feel right.

Look, there was a leak
in the intel unit

but it wasn't
Rick Stoechler.

Give me some help here, Clay.

I already did.

You didn't like it.

Your source is wrong.

And that's based on what?

I know Rick Stoechler!

Harm, there's one thing
I've learned in my line of work:

you never really
know anybody

even people you think
are your friends.

The guy did it.
You keep after this

all you're going to do is
embarrass him and his widow.

You don't want that, do you?

I'm late
for a dinner.

Look, help me find the shooter.

And then what?
Ask who hired him?

Yeah.
Harm, even if I could find him,
he wouldn't know.

When you're hired
to kill two people

you're not told
who's asking for the hit.

There's no trail there.
I'm sorry.

[gunshots]

Webb didn't say "When you're
hired to kill three people"
he said two.

Simple misstatement, sir?

Not coming from Webb.

Let's, uh, run it again

from where the shooter turns
to Pagano.

[clicks keyboard]

What happened?

Gunny, you sure
you know how to do this?

Uh, well, I've done some editing
on my computer, sir,

and this isn't
entirely different.

[sighs]

[click]

There.

Uh-Uh, tighten up
on the shooter.

Zoom in on the weapon.

Look.

The cylinder didn't turn
in the revolver.

-Tape's been altered.
-The source of this tape
was NSG, sir.

Can't be trusted.

Can we get the original tape?

Captain Reeves owns it, sir.

All right.
Well, he doesn't
own the crime lab.

Let's get the ballistics
report from them.

Aye, aye, sir.

He didn't fire the weapon
from there.

[Pagano]
I can't talk to you,
sir, unless Captain Reeves
is present.

Oh, I don't think
you want Captain Reeves

to hear what I have to say,
Commander.

Why is that, sir?

Your unit covered
Naval messages

originating out of Asia,
didn't they?

You know that, sir.

Any of those messages have to do
with the
Jimmy Carter,
Commander?

That's classified, sir.

Let's talk about Beijing.
You make any friends
while you were in China?

-Friends you sold secrets to?
-Where are you
getting this, sir?

The original ballistics report
from the crime lab

says that you had soot
in your wounds.

Soot indicates point-blank shot

fired from less than
eight inches.

You weren't shot
from across the room,
were you, Commander?

But the ballistics report
and the security tape

were altered to support
your story, weren't they?

Now, you are going
to tell me why.

I think I need a lawyer, sir.

Yes, you do.

[Roberts]
Oh, sir, I've been meaning
to talk to you

about Lieutenant Commander
Jay Pagano.

He's my client now, sir,
and I'd appreciate it
if you'd refrain

from any further contact
with my client
unless I was present.

Believe me, Lieutenant,
next time I see your client

I fully plan on
you being present.

Tiner, I need to see
the Admiral.

Yes, sir.

Admiral, Commander Rabb
would like to see you, sir.

[Chegwidden over intercom]
I'd like to see him, too.

-Sir.
-Captain Reeves called.

He was not in
a friendly mood.

He believes that
you're going after
Commander Pagano

to move the investigation
off your friend.

I'm just following
the evidence, sir.

Commander Pagano
lied about how he was shot.

Ballistics report
does not support his story, sir.

It looks as though the report,
and the security tape

have both been altered, sir.

-By whom?
-Yet to be determined, Admiral.

So, a murder, espionage,
and now a cover-up.

You plan on proving
any of this, Commander?

Yes I do, sir,
with an Article 32 hearing.

I'll start by charging
Commander Pagano

with making a false
official statement.

And that's a major
fishing expedition.

It's a legal one,
Admiral.

All I need now
is a convening authority, sir.

I don't know yet how, or if,
Captain Reeves is involved, sir

so we'll need to go over him.

Do you know what the hell
you're asking?

Yes I do, sir.

[sighs]

Tiner, get me Admiral Danaco.
I know it's late,
just find him.

[Tiner over intercom]
Aye, aye, sir.

Well, it's going to have to be
a Grunden.

Closed secured,
all parties cleared.

I'll have Navy technicians
secure the court
with jamming devices.

[Tiner over intercom]
Sir, Admiral Danaco on four.

This better be damn good,
Commander.

Commander Rabb, start us off.

Your Honor,
before we begin

the court should know
that my client is willing

to waive this Article 32
and plead guilty

to the charge of making
a false official statement.

Your Honor, while the government
appreciates

the accused's attempt
to streamline
these proceedings, sir

we have both a right
and the desire

to see where this evidence
leads us.

Then my client, who
is still convalescing

requests that these
proceedings be postponed

until he is
fully recovered, sir.

Unless a certification
of Commander Pagano's

treating Navy physician is
presented today, Lieutenant

we're having this hearing.
Do you have one?

No, sir.

Then sit down.

Who are you?

Clayton Webb, sir.

Here to monitor
the proceedings.

I'm read-in
for this program.

Very well.
Be seated, Mr. Webb.

The government calls
Captain Perry Reeves.

Objection, Your Honor.
Captain Reeves was not present
at the incident in question.

He has no relevance
to this charge.

Goes to motive for
Lieutenant Commander Pagano

giving a false statement
about the murders.

[Roberts]
Your Honor, since the government
didn't accept our offer

to accept the plea,
shouldn't the burden be
that they first have to

establish factually
that there was
a false statement given

before they move on
to matters of motive?

No, it's his case.
He can present it
anyway he wants.

[Rabb]
Captain Reeves,
what is the SSN-23?

The
Jimmy Carter,
our special operations sub.

Captain, did Commander
Rick Stoechler

ever send you reports
concerning the
Jimmy Carter?

You don't know
what you're doing, Commander.

Your Honor, the government
believes that any reports

sent to Captain Reeves
concerning the
Jimmy Carter

are vital to our understanding
why the accused
lied in his st...

Objection! It's not been proven
that my client lied
about anything.

I'll understand the term "lie"
to include "allegedly."

Your Honor, I would request
that you order
the Naval Security Group

to release these reports
for our inspection, sir.

Objection!
Sir, it's obvious

that Commander Rabb is
using these proceedings

as a means
to cast a wide net

to see what
he can pull in.

He's allowed to do that.

One of intents of this hearing

is to facilitate
broad fact-finding.

Therefore, objection overruled.

I'll order access
to documents

generated one month
prior to the incident.

Thank you, sir.

That'll be all.

[Chegwidden]
Your C.O. on the
Guadalcanal

was impressed with your actions
in Aceh.

He recommended you
for a personal award

and asked for special
rapid handling...

and he got it.

A Meritorious
Service Medal, sir?

Admiral, I left
a little girl behind

who may have been killed
because she was helping me.

Could have ordered the helo
to wait so I could get to her

I didn't even consider
going back.

Your actions helped save
the lives of 22 people.

You were a damn fine
Marine officer out there.

I wasn't a damn fine
human being, sir.

When you're under fire
you don't have
the luxury of both.

Does the feeling that you've
done something terrible
ever go away?

No.

Counsel, please approach.

Is this the only report
on the
Jimmy Carter

that went to
Captain Reeves
in the last month?

Yes. It was hand-carried
by Commander Stoechler

to Captain Reeves directly.

It's dated the day
of the murders.
What am I looking at here?

[Gilbert]
An American reconnaissance
aircraft had intercepted

a message between two Admirals
in the Chinese Navy.

What was it about?

An American Naval Officer
had sold the Chinese

a copy
of the tonal signature tests
on the
Jimmy Carter.

The intercepted message
included what appeared to be
those tonal signatures.

Commander, if I allow this in,
what do you intend to argue?

Sir, I believe that
Commander Stoechler
knew that the naval officer

who sold the tonal signatures
to the Chinese
was in his own unit.

That's why he hand-delivered
this intelligence
to Captain Reeves,

to keep it confidential.

Why were
our cryptanalysts killed,
and who killed them?

The same naval officer
who sold the tonal signatures
to the Chinese, sir

must have also intercepted
the air recon message
and informed the Chinese.

And what does that
lead you to conclude?

Sir, the Chinese
could not have known
that Captain Reeves was alerted

so they sent an assassin
that very day

in hope that this new intel
would die in the room

with the murdered
cryptanalysts.

And yet,
Commander Pagano survives.

Sir, soul survivor
of this intel unit
would be the Chinese mole.

The Chinese tried to
kill Commander Pagano.

Well, they had to make it
look good, Lieutenant.

He'd be an obvious suspect.

But if they
let him survive, sir,

kept their mole in place,
he'd be invaluable to them.

That's a serious accusation,
Commander.

Which you've presented
no evidence of, sir.

I haven't finished presenting
my case, Lieutenant.

[phone ringing]

-Lieutenant Colonel Mackenzie.
-[Jarot]
Good evening, Colonel.

Captain Jarot,
have you found her?

There's a hospital
south of the city.

They tell me they have
a little girl
suffering a concussion.

What makes you think
she's Lylyana?

When they brought her in

she had an interesting artifact
with her.

I believe you call it, uh

an eagle, globe,
and anchor emblem.

I gave her mine.

Um, I was offered some leave,
I'm going to take it.

I'll be on the first plane out.

I love how impulsive
Americans are.

I'll be delighted to pick you up
at the airport.

I'll call you when I know
what time my plane lands.

[Rabb]
Captain, you are an expert
on submarine tonal signatures

is that correct?

Yes. I am Director
of Special Operations

and a signature analyst.

Is hard to track
a submarine, Captain?

Especially ours.
We build them to run silent,
and they do.

Of course,
at some point you have to move,
that means the screws.

At some point
you need electricity

that means you have to run
the generator.

All of that makes noise

and each sub has it's own,

significant signature pattern.

Captain, is it easy
to identify noises
coming from a submarine?

Mm, very difficult.

You have to
use a computer

to separate the sound patterns.

Then, of course, you
have to have the skills

to know what you
are looking at.

All right, Captain
if you had a submarine's
tonal signature

would it be easy to identify
and track that sub?

It'd be like
she was wearing a beacon.

Captain, I have here a message
that was intercepted

by one of our reconnaissance
aircraft.

Would you please flip
to the page with the numbers

and tell us what it says, sir?

At the top:
"U.S. SSN-23."

That's a
Jimmy
Carter's
hull
number.

These rows of numbers
are acoustic frequencies

represented mathematically.

Captain, are you
familiar enough

with the mathematical
representation

of the
Jimmy Carter's
tonal signatures

-to identify them here?
-I am.

-I headed the testing team.
-Are these
the tonal signatures

from the
Jimmy Carter,
sir?

No. Absolutely not.

Are you
sure,
Captain?

Yes.

If anyone is trying to
track the
Jimmy Carter

using these numbers

then somebody's
doing a hell of a job

giving them misinformation.

[MacKenzie]
Thank you for picking me up,
Captain.

I wouldn't miss the opportunity
to spend time
with such a fascinating woman.

-I'm not that fascinating.
-Oh, yes, you are.

You just traveled
halfway around the globe

to visit some girl
you hardly know.

You gave me
an expensive ring

to bail out a man
you never met.

I'm still interested
in that story.

You're not going
to hear it.

Was the ring from a man
you did not love?

You never give
up, do you?

A good investigator
continues

to ask questions
until he gets answers.

There must be someone else
you care about.

For some reason
you are not with
this other man.

Is he a fool?

We, uh, just can't
seem to work it out.

Love is the same everywhere--
America, Aceh--

-Always impossible.
-I hope not.

An optimist.
Which would explain
why you have faith

that this little girl is
the Lylyana
you are searching for.

It has to be her.

May I ask why
is she so special?

Because she depended on me

and I failed her.

Adults fail children
all the time.

It's sad but not tragic.
It merely forces them
to grow up.

No, Captain,
it crushes something
inside them forever.

I didn't want
to do that to Lylyana.

All the information
I've gotten, Bud,
has been corrupted.

-I want to know
what they're covering.
-I understand that, sir

but Captain Reeves
requested that
I let him know

if we spoke
to Commander Pagano
outside the courtroom.

You're required
to have him present, not me.

I only want to talk to him
for a couple of minutes.

It's not going
to take long.

[door opens]

Now is not the time, Commander.

Apparently.

Let's go, Lieutenant.

Sir, what about
your questions?

[Rabb]
They've been answered.

Am I dreaming?
You flew away.

I flew back.

My head hurts.

I bet it does.

I wanted you
to have your picture.

I'm sorry I didn't
go back for it
or for you.

You could get it now.
It's in the drawer.

The men who found me
wanted to leave it.

I wouldn't let them.
It got messed up.

It's perfect.

I have something for you, too.

Wonderful. I love gifts.

A medal?
What's it for?

It's for people
who do brave things like you did

when you took us to your school.

It honors you

for your exceptionally
meritorious conduct

and your valor.

I have valor.

Yes, you do.

What is valor?

It means that you're strong

and that you have spirit
and bravery.

I'm like you.

You have much more valor
than I did when I was your age.

When did you put me
on your witness list?

-This morning.
-Why?

You know why.

I'm not getting
on that stand, Harm.

Why not?

I'm just an observer
in this proceeding, sir.

Mr. Webb, do you have
material testimony

to offer us in
this matter?

I believe he does,
Your Honor.

We don't usually issue
subpoenas

in Article-32 hearings, Mr. Webb

but if I have to bend the rules
to get you up there

I'm not against that.

What is your position
with the CIA, Mr. Webb?

Deputy Director
of Counter-intelligence.

What does that term
Counter-intelligence mean,
exactly?

It's a broad term.
It has a myriad of meanings.

Including running programs
designed to deceive an enemy?

Yes.

Welcome, Admiral Danaco.

Thank you, Admiral Morris.
Carryon.

Your Honor,
let the record reflect that

the convening authority
in this matter, Admiral Danaco,

has just entered the court room.

Mr. Webb, part of this job
would be to feed

misinformation to an enemy,
is that correct?

Yes.

Now, is the best way
to do that

to have someone they trust
feed them this misinformation?

A double agent?
A mole in a key position?

Rabb...

Was Lieutenant Commander Pagano
that mole, Mr. Webb?

Yes.

Did he know?

He was unaware
that we were using him

to feed false information
to the Chinese

until yesterday
when you blew this open.

By "we," are you referring
to yourself and Captain Reeves?

It was my operation

but I was handling him
with the full knowledge
of Captain Reeves.

Attention on deck!

As you were.

-Admiral Danaco for you, sir.
-Thank you, Petty Officer.

Aye, sir.

Admiral Danaco?

Commander Pagano alerted

the Chinese that we knew
they had our sub information.

When did you learn of this?

He confessed it last night.

He also told me he had no idea

that the Chinese were going
to kill Commander Stoechler

and Senior Chief Trujillo.

What did he think the Chinese
would do,

let the information
get out?

[Clayton] He was instructed
by his Chinese handlers

to destroy all evidence
of the intercept

which he thought
he'd done.

He didn't consider that

the Chinese might want anybody
with direct knowledge

secured as well.

Continue.

Did Commander Pagano lie
about the events

the night of the murder
to cover the fact

that he was the one
leaking information
to the Chinese?

He did.

Did you alter
the security tape

to support
his false testimony?

Yes. And the ballistics report.

I'd received
a higher authority

to give you
that misinformation

to do what needed
to be done.

Such as what, Mr. Webb?

Such as removing
a subsequent entry

from the cypherlock
so that Rick Stoechler's code

would be
the last recorded entry.

You wanted
to frame Commander Stoechler.

Yes.

You also deposited
$150,000

in a bank account
in Commander Stoechler's name,
didn't you?

Money which
his wife can now keep.

I was trying to
save my operation,
Commander which I did.

We turned Pagano
last night.

Well, you've been
busy Mr. Webb.

The
Jimmy Carter
is vital
to our national interest.

We'll do whatever it takes
to protect her.

Including sacrificing the lives
of two of our cryptanalysts?

Absolutely not. If we'd known
the Chinese were coming,
we'd have stopped them.

Why should
we believe you?

I'm under oath, Commander.

Did Commander Rick Stoechler
ever leak information, Mr. Webb?

He did not.
He was an exemplary officer
in every respect.

Yes, he was.
I have no further questions
of you, Director Webb.

Your Honor, the Government
will be amending
it's charge sheet

against
Lieutenant Commander Pagano

to include espionage,
attempted espionage,

and two counts of murder.

Your witness, Lieutenant.

I'll need some more time,
Your Honor,
to confer with my client

to prepare
for these new charges.

I imagine you do.

Lieutenant Commander Pagano

I'm recommending you be placed
in pretrial confinement

until this matter
is resolved.

This hearing
is concluded.

[gavel bangs]

-You won't get him, Harm.
-I already have, Webb.

Admiral Danaco doesn't
believe that

the prosecution
of the Lieutenant Commander

serves the best interest
of the Navy.

Admiral, is it
in the best interest of the Navy

to smear the good name
of an honorable man, sir,

and bury the truth
with two of its dead?

This information is classified,
Commander.

No one outside this proceeding
will ever hear it.

Sir, you and I both know
that it will leak eventually.

That's not my call.

Admiral, I want this one.

You can't have it.

You got what you wanted;
you cleared your friend.

I was about Daniel's age
when my father died.

I remember how devastating
it was to my mother

not to know the truth,
and what that did to me.

I'm sorry, Michelle,
I really wish I could tell you
what happened.

I know you can't.

Rick didn't do anything wrong.

And if you ever hear
even a whisper that he did

I'm promising you now
that that is a lie.

You have no doubts?

I know what happened
to Rick's unit.

I know why he was killed.

And what will I tell the boys?

[Rabb]
One day,
when the time is right

Rick will be acknowledged
for the hero that he was,

the Navy's Distinguished
Service Medal,

Admiral Danaco has
given me his word.

But in the meantime...

tell them they can be
proud of their father...

that he died honorably
in the service of his country.
