MASTER CHIEF CALLOWAY?

THE NAVY WAS MY LIFE.

YOU TOOK THAT AWAY FROM ME.

STAND DOWN, LYNCH.

TOO LATE FOR THAT.

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS GIVE ME A SECOND CHANCE.

[ opening music playing]

[ lively music playing]

[ laughing]

WHOO!

[ laughing]

BLACKSBURG UNICOM, THIS IS STEARMAN NOVEMBER ROMEO 1-5-3

FOR A STRAIGHT-IN APPROACH ON RUNAWAY 2-4.

Man: Blacksburg Unicom

WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST ABOUT FIVE KNOTS.

Click twice for runway lights.

ROGER. THANK YOU.

Man: 1-5-3

YOU REALLY KISSED THAT ONE ON.

YES!

[ engine stopping]

[ chuckling]

[ indistinct chatter]

MacKenzie: HEY. WHAT'S IN THE BOX?

MMM... STUFF THAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF.

OH, WELL, THAT CERTAINLY CLEARS THAT UP.

COME ON, WHO'S IT FOR? THERE'S NO TAG.

EXCUSE ME, BUT THE ADMIRAL WANTS TO SEE YOU, SIR.

HE SAID IT WAS URGENT. THANK YOU.

CAN YOU PUT THIS ON MY DESK? MMM.

AND, UH, THIS AND THIS?

UH, YEAH, YOU'RE WELCOME.

YOU WANT A HAND WITH THAT, MAJOR?

UH, IT'S NOTHING I CAN'T HANDLE.

I TRIED CALLING YOU AT YOUR HOME LAST NIGHT.

I'M SORRY, SIR. I WAS FLYING.

OH? HOW'D THAT GO?

WELL... ADMIRAL, I TRIED LANDING AT NIGHT

ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND DAMN NEAR KILLED MYSELF.

LAST NIGHT, I ACED IT.

[ chuckles]

UH, YOU DIDN'T LEAVE A MESSAGE, SIR.

WELL, I WANTED TO TALK FACE-TO-FACE.

THE SECNAV'S WILLING TO APPROVE

THE CHANGE OF YOUR DESIGNATOR TO 13-10.

WELL, THAT IS THE OPTION

YOU WANTED, CORRECT? TO BE A NAVAL AVIATOR?

YES, SIR.

I JUST DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD HAPPEN THIS QUICKLY.

COMMANDER, HAVE YOU FULLY CONSIDERED

WHAT YOU'RE GIVING UP HERE--

A VERY PROMISING CAREER IN JAG

WITH CONTACTS ON CAPITOL HILL, THE PENTAGON?

WELL, SIR, I'VE BEEN...

I'VE BEEN THINKING A LOT ABOUT THAT LATELY, YES.

DO MORE GOOD FOR THE NAVY AND YOURSELF AS A LAWYER.

POINT WELL TAKEN, ADMIRAL.

I'VE SPENT A LOT OF SLEEPLESS NIGHTS

TRYING TO FIGURE IT ALL OUT.

ON THE ONE HAND

FLYING WAS MY LIFE UNTIL RETINAL SCARRING TOOK THAT AWAY

BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, MY LIFE HERE AT JAG, SIR

HAS TURNED OUT A WHOLE LOT BETTER

THAN I HAD ANY RIGHT TO HOPE IT WOULD.

ONLY IT'S NOT ENOUGH. [ intercom buzzes]

Tiner: Excuse me, Admiral.

There's an Agent Holland from NCIS.

to see Commander Rabb, sir.

BETTER SEE WHAT SHE WANTS.

I'LL EXPECT YOUR DECISION BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

DISMISSED.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

THANK YOU.

[ door closes]

WE HAVE A LEAD ON CHARLES LYNCH.

HE KILLED TWO WOMEN IN A HOTEL

IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, THREE NIGHTS AGO--

ANGELA DALLA VALLE, THE OWNER OF THE HOTEL

AND MARJORIE LEWIS.

DAR-LIN AND ANNIE'S AUNT.

MM-HMM.

HE STOMPED HER TO DEATH.

JUST LIKE HE DID TO ANNIE.

NOW, THERE WAS NO ATTEMPT

TO CONCEAL THE BODIES, COMMANDER

NO EFFORT TO CLEAN UP THE CRIME SCENE.

IT WAS A SPONTANEOUS... UNORGANIZEDHOMICIDE.

HE'S OUT OF CONTROL.

[ tense music playing]

GIVE ME TEN BUCKS OF REGULAR.

HOW YOU DOING, MASTER CHIEF?

YOU WERE IN THE NAVY?

MACHINIST'S MATE, SECOND CLASS ON THE PATRICK HENRY.

YOU MISS IT? HELL, YES.

WITH ALL THIS ACTION IN THE BALKANS

I'M THINKING ABOUT GOING BACK.

I LEFT ONCE.

GOING BACK NOW'S THE SMARTEST THING I EVER DID.

WHERE YOU HEADED?

TRYING TO GET BACK THE REST OF WHAT I LOST.

Rabb: HE LOOKS JUST LIKE YOU, HARRIET.

YOU THINK SO?

EVERYBODY KEEPS TELLING ME HE LOOKS LIKE BUD.

AW, HE HAS YOUR EYES.

THANK YOU.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, MAJOR?

I THINK HE'S JUST GORGEOUS.

I WANT TO HOLD HIM.

OKAY. COME HERE.

Roberts: I THINK AJ IS MORE HANDSOME

THAN HE IS GORGEOUS, MAJOR.

"A.J.," AS IN... AS IN "ALBERT JETHRO"?

NO, "A.J.," AS IN "A.J."

THE ADMIRAL DOESN'T NEED TO KNOW.

WHAT ABOUT THE CHRISTENING?

THE ADMIRAL WILL BE THERE.

YEAH, WHAT IF HE CALLS HIM "AL" OR...?

WE'LL THINK OF SOMETHING.

[ weak chuckle]

OH, WE'RE HUNGRY.

ARE YOU HUNGRY, SWEETHEART?

COME HERE.

IT'S TIME FOR SOME DINNER. OKAY.

IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY, COME ON. IT'S OKAY.

HEY, UH, WHY DON'T WE OPEN THE PRESENT, BUD?

AW, SIR, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO.

I WANTED LITTLE A.J. TO HAVE SOMETHING

TO REMEMBER ME BY.

[ laughing]: OH, WOW!

IT'S DIE-CAST.

IT'S GOT AN OPERATING HEADLIGHT, SMOKE, A WHISTLE...

THANK YOU, SIR.

OH...

SO, UH, HOW MUCH TIME YOU HAVE LEFT ON YOUR FAMILY LEAVE, BUD?

UH, MY TWO WEEKS ARE UP TOMORROW

BUT, UH, COMMANDER BRUMBY HAS ME WORKING

ON THE DAWKINS CASE. I'M SURPRISED THAT YOU GAVE IT UP.

I DIDN'T GIVE IT UP. THE ADMIRAL GAVE IT TO BRUMBY.

CHARLES LYNCH HAS RESURFACED.

WHAT DO YOU NEED, SIR?

CHASER WITH A BEER BACK?

I'M TAPPED OUT.

ON ME.

BAD WEEK?

HAD TO TAKE CARE OF A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WERE BOTHERING ME.

IT'S BEHIND ME NOW.

EVER WISH YOUR LIFE TURNED OUT DIFFERENT?

PRETTY MUCH EVERY DAY.

YOU EVER THINK, "WHAT IF I COULD GO BACK, STRAIGHTEN THINGS OUT?"

SAY YOU'RE SORRY TO THE PEOPLE YOU HURT--

STUFF LIKE THAT?

DONE THAT.

WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT HURT YOU?

WHAT IF YOU COULD EVEN UP THE SCORE

START WITH A CLEAN SLATE?

WHATEVER IT IS, LET IT GO.

CAN'T DO THAT.

THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU'RE EVER GOING TO MOVE PAST YOUR ANGER.

WHAT DO YOU DO IF ANGER'S ALL YOU HAVE?

I WONDER WHAT IT'S LIKE

TO BE AS HAPPY AS BUD AND HARRIET?

THEY'RE WORKING 12-HOUR SHIFTS.

THEY'RE UP ALL NIGHT WITH A BABY.

THEY DON'T HAVE TIME TO BE HAPPY.

THEY DON'T HAVE TO FIND TIME.

THEY JUST ARE.

DON'T YOU WANT THAT AT ALL?

THERE'S A LOT OF TIME FOR STUFF LIKE THAT, MAC.

YEAH, DON'T BE SO SURE.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW JORDAN?

COUPLE WEEKS AGO.

SHE TOLD ME TO CALL

WHEN I DECIDED IF I WAS LEAVING JAG.

HAVE YOU?

I KEEP THINKING WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE

TO GO BACK AND SEE WHAT I'VE MISSED

START WITH A CLEAN SLATE.

UM, YOU HAVE ANYTHING BUT A CLEAN SLATE.

LOOK, I'M-I'M INTERESTED IN THE FUTURE, TOO, HARM.

MORE AND MORE, I WANT A LIFE THAT IS SIMPLE AND GOOD--

A GREAT CAREER, A GOOD MAN...

AND COMFORTABLE SHOES-- LOTS AND LOTS OF THEM.

[ chuckling]: YEAH, YEAH.

Naval Criminal Investigative Service.

THIS IS HAROLD BROKY WITH THE WILMINGTON POLICE.

I NEED TO SPEAK WITH THE AGENT IN CHARGE

OF THE DOUBLE HOMICIDE AT THE NEW EDEN HOTEL.

Please, hold.

THIS IS AGENT HOLLAND. WHO AM I SPEAKING TO?

YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME LOOKING FOR CHARLIE LYNCH.

He died two hours ago.

[ mellow music playing]

I REACHED THREE PEOPLE THAT SERVED WITH LYNCH, SIR.

IT HELPS TO FILL OUT HIS SERVICE RECORD.

AS YOU KNOW HE WAS A GUNNER'S MATE FIRST CLASS ON THE STERETT.

HIS FIRST OFFENSE WAS A BAR FIGHT WITH SOME LOCALS

IN WILMINGTON.

HE RECEIVED CAPTAIN'S MAST.

BUT THERE WERE EYEWITNESSES

TESTIFYING THAT TWO MEN JUMPED HIM

SO HIS PUNISHMENT WAS SUSPENDED.

SECOND OFFENSE WAS FOUR MONTHS LATER

WHERE HE ASSAULTED IN THE SAME BAR--

A PLACE CALLED BOOMER'S.

HE WAS BUSTED DOWN TO PETTY OFFICER THIRD CLASS.

THEN HE MISSED SHIP'S MOVEMENT BY DESIGN.

NOW, HE WAS IN CUSTODY ON BASE PENDING TRANSFER TO HIS SHIP

WHEN MASTER CHIEF GEORGE CALLOWAY

CHIEF MASTER-AT-ARMS, ATTEMPTED TO HELP LYNCH.

HE AND LYNCH GOT INTO A SHOVING MATCH

AND, ACCORDING TO HIS ADMINISTRATIVE SEPARATION PAPERWORK:

"HIS PATTERN OF MISCONDUCT INDICATES HE IS UNABLE

"OR UNWILLING TO CHANGE HIS VIOLENT WAYS

"DESPITE HIS BEST EFFORTS

AND THE EFFORTS OF OTHERS ON HIS BEHALF."

LIEUTENANT, WHEN YOU HAVE A MOMENT

DAWKINS AWAITS.

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE, SIR.

I ASKED THE LIEUTENANT TO GIVE ME A HAND.

I'M SORRY, MIC.

RIGHT-O. NOT A PROBLEM, HARM.

ALL FOR A GOOD CAUSE, I'M SURE.

[ phone rings]

RABB.

WHAT? WHEN?

[ ominous music playing]

KEEP ME INFORMED.

THANKS.

THAT WAS AGENT HOLLAND.

SHE JUST GOT A TIP

THAT CHARLIE LYNCH HAD BEEN KILLED.

IS IT FOR REAL?

KILLING WAS REAL.

IT WASN'T LYNCH.

THE VICTIM WAS MASTER CHIEF CALLOWAY--

SHOT TWICE AT CLOSE RANGE WITH HOLLOW-POINT ROUNDS.

WHERE ARE YOU HEADED, SIR?

DELAWARE.

LYNCH HID OUT THERE FOR THREE MONTHS.

THAT'S WHERE HE KILLED MARJORIE LEWIS

AND THAT'S EVIDENTLY WHERE HE USED TO HANG OUT

AT BOOMER'S BAR.

WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND, MAJOR?

IT'S ABOUT COMMANDER RABB, SIR.

I KNOW THAT HE STILL HASN'T MADE UP HIS MIND.

I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANYTHING YOU COULD DO

TO MAKE HIM STAY.

IF HE WANTS TO GO, MAJOR, NOTHING I WANT TO DO ABOUT IT.

HAVE A SEAT.

I DON'T WANT ANY MAN OR WOMAN WORKING FOR ME

THAT DOESN'T WANT TO BE HERE--

THAT THIS ISN'T THEIR HIGHEST PRIORITY.

I EXPECT THE BEST UNDIVIDED ATTENTION

OF EVERYONE HERE.

ANYTHING LESS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

HAVE YOU TRIED TO TALK HIM OUT OF IT, SIR?

TWICE. I THINK I MAY HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH TO HIM.

DO YOU EVER GET USED TO IT, ADMIRAL?

LOSING PEOPLE?

MOVING ON IS A FACT OF MILITARY LIFE, MAJOR.

I KNOW THAT, SIR

AND IT'S ALWAYS BEEN FINE WITH ME UNTIL NOW.

IT'S A MISTAKE TO GET COMFORTABLE WITH BILLET

OR WITH PERSONNEL.

ANYWAY, IF, IF HE DOES CHOOSE TO LEAVE

HE CAN ALWAYS COME BACK, RIGHT?

NOT NECESSARILY.

YOU CHOSE TO RESIGN ONCE, MAJOR.

DAMN LUCKY I TOOK YOU BACK.

THOUGHT LONG AND HARD BEFORE I DID.

AREN'T WE PAST THAT, ADMIRAL?

FORGIVEN, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.

THANK YOU, SIR. UM...

THIS HAS BEEN TRULY...

ALARMING.

ANYTIME.

HERE YOU GO.

THANKS.

WE DON'T OPEN FOR ANOTHER HOUR, BUT CAN I GET YOU SOMETHING?

ACTUALLY, MA'AM, I'M HERE ON OFFICIAL BUSINESS.

UH, THERE WAS A MURDER NOT TOO FAR FROM HERE

IN A HOTEL ROOM. TWO WOMEN WERE KILLED.

I'M AIDING THE INVESTIGATION.

I NEED TO KNOW IF YOU'VE SEEN THIS MAN.

HMM. WHAT'D HE DO?

HE HAS A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE TOWARDS WOMEN.

YOU'RE KIDDING? HE TREATED ME GREAT.

WHEN WAS HE HERE?

LAST NIGHT. WE HAD A NICE TALK.

HE WAS THINKING ABOUT STARTING OVER IN LIFE; A FRESH START.

WHAT ELSE DID YOU TWO TALK ABOUT?

HE DID HAVE SOME ANGER ISSUES, BUT I TOLD HIM

WHAT I LEARNED IN MY 12-STEP PROGRAM: LET IT GO.

DID HE HAPPEN TO TELL YOU WHICH WAY HE WAS HEADED?

SOUTH, HE SAID.

TO EVEN UP OLD SCORES.

[ tense music playing]

Man: Social Services.

YES. THIS IS AGENT HOLLAND

NAVAL CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIVE SERVICE.

I'M WORKING ON THE MURDER OF ANNIE LEWIS.

I NEED TO SPEAK WITH THE SOCIAL WORKER

WHO HANDLED THE FAMILY.

Hold on, sir.

YEAH, THIS IS MISS RAWLINGS.

Hello?

HELLO?

WE'RE GOING TO FIND YOU A NICE FAMILY

TO LIVE WITH REAL SOON, DAR-LIN.

JORDAN, WHY CAN'T I GO BACK TO MY REAL HOME?

DAR-LIN, THERE'S NO ONE IN THE HOUSE ON EVERS ROAD.

WHAT ABOUT AUNT MARJORIE?

IF CHARLIE WENT AWAY

WHY CAN'T I STAY WITH HER?

CHARLIE KILL HER, TOO?

YES.

CHARLIE WILL NEVER HURT YOU AGAIN, DAR-LIN.

I PROMISE YOU THAT.

SWEETHEART, I NEED TO ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS.

WHEN YOU WERE LIVING WITH YOUR AUNT MARJORIE AND CHARLIE

DID HE EVER BLAME YOU FOR ANYTHING?

I MEAN, DID HE EVER TELL YOU THAT SOMETHING WAS YOUR FAULT?

HE SAID IT WAS 'CAUSE OF US

HE DIDN'T FIND NO JOB OR NOTHING.

HE SAID IT WAS YOUR FAULT?

UH-HUH.

THAT'S WHY HE HIT US.

AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED?

HE'D ALWAYS SAY HE'S SORRY AND HUG US.

YOU MIND IF I GIVE YOU A HUG?

[ sentimental music playing]

EXCUSE ME, MA'AM.

I'M LOOKING FOR MS. RAWLINGS.

THAT'S ME. I'M A LITTLE BIT BUSY RIGHT NOW.

JUST TAKE A SECOND, MA'AM.

MY NAME'S HARRY LEWIS.

I'M LOOKING FOR MY SISTER'S KIDS.

I WENT OUT TO THE HOUSE ON EVERS ROAD

BUT THERE WAS NOBODY HOME.

YOU'RE WANDA LEWIS'S BROTHER?

STEPBROTHER, ACTUALLY.

THE FAMILY'S ALL BROKEN UP.

WE ONLY GOT CLOSE JUST BEFORE SHE DIED IN '96.

AND WHY EXACTLY ARE YOU HERE?

I'VE BEEN OUT OF THE COUNTRY, MA'AM.

CHIEF MASTER-AT-ARMS ON THE CORAL SEA.

I HEARD GRANDMA LEWIS PASSED

AND I WAS WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED TO...

ANNIE AND DAR-LIN.

ANNIE'S DEAD.

EXCUSE ME?

MURDERED.

WHEN?

THREE MONTHS AGO.

WHAT ABOUT DAR-LIN?

MR. LEWIS?

MASTER CHIEF...LEWIS.

WHO IS DAR-LIN?

ANNIE'S TWIN.

SOCIAL SERVICES HAS NO RECORD OF A TWIN SISTER FOR ANNIE LEWIS.

THE FAMILY DIDN'T LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IT A LOT, MA'AM.

THE LITTLE GIRL WASN'T QUITE RIGHT.

SHE HAD A BIRTH DEFECT.

SHE WAS INSTITUTIONALIZED TILL SHE WAS SIX.

SHE ONLY CAME TO LIVE WITH THE FAMILY

FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS AGO, MA'AM.

I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS.

FAMILIES HAVE SECRETS, MA'AM.

THAT'S ONE THING I'VE LEARNED OVER THE YEARS.

UH... WHY DON'T YOU COME BACK TOMORROW, CHIEF?

I'LL HAVE SOME INFORMATION...

MASTERCHIEF.

AND TODAY WOULD BE BETTER.

THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP, MA'AM.

I'LL BE IN TOUCH.

Parker: YOU'RE RIGHT.

LYNCH BLAMES THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM FOR HIS PROBLEMS.

RIGHT NOW HE'S GOING AFTER ANYONE

HE THINKS DID SOMETHING TO HURT HIM.

CHARLIE BLAMES DAR-LIN

FOR SCREWING UP HIS LIFE, JORDAN.

HE'LL COME AFTER HER.

I'LL MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE HER MOVED.

SHE'S ON A NAVY BASE. HOW MUCH SAFER CAN SHE GET?

CHARLIE KILLED ANNIE ON A NAVY BASE, JORDAN.

[ sighs]

DAR-LIN IS A REMARKABLY RESILIENT CHILD

AND SHE'S MAKING EXCELLENT PROGRESS IN THERAPY

BUT IN ORDER TO HEAL, SHE NEEDS A STABLE ENVIRONMENT.

EVERY TIME YOU MOVE HER, IT SETS HER BACK.

SOMETIMES I GET THE IMPRESSION SHE DOESN'T LIKE ME.

YOU REMIND HER OF HOW VULNERABLE SHE WAS WHEN YOU SAVED HER LIFE.

HOW VULNERABLE SHE STILL IS.

SHE'S LEARNING HOW NOT

TO BE THAT EASY TO HURT AGAIN.

SHE'S GROWING A THICKER SKIN.

BUT SHE NEEDS TO SEPARATE HERSELF FROM YOU, HARM.

THAT'S HOW SHE'S GOING TO SURVIVE.

HOW MUCH IS THIS GOING TO COST?

250 BUCKS.

UNLESS YOU'RE HANDICAPPED.

WHAT'S THE BADGE?

MASTER-AT-ARMS.

THAT LIKE A COP?

SECURITY, DISCIPLINE, ENFORCEMENT, INVESTIGATION.

HUH.

WE TAKE CARE OF THE BAD GUYS.

PROFESSIONAL COURTESY.

THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW, I WAS SENT UP TO GET SOME BACKGROUND ON ANNIE LEWIS.

YEAH, TERRIBLE WHAT HAPPENED.

THE WHOLE DEPARTMENT PITCHED IN.

ALL FIVE OF US. WE'RE A SMALL TOWN.

WHO FROM THE NAVY DID YOUR DEPUTIES TALK TO ABOUT THE CASE?

SOME LAWYER.

IS SHE UNDER PROTECTIVE CUSTODY?

I HEAR THEY'RE KEEPING HER AT THE WASHINGTON NAVY YARD.

THIS NAVY LAWYER HAVE A NAME?

YOU KNOW, FUNNY NAME...

RABB. HARMON RABB.

THAT'S THE KIND OF NAME YOU'D REMEMBER.

COMMANDER RABB.

IT'S SKATES, SIR.

LIEUTENANT ELIZABETH HAWKES, RIO ON THE SEAHAWK.

WHAT BRINGS YOU TO JAG?

YOU IN SOME KIND OF TROUBLE?

I CAME TO SEE YOU, SIR.

THAT'S AS MUCH TROUBLE AS I NEED.

F-14 FLIGHT MANUAL

WEAPONS SYSTEMS HANDBOOK...

NATOPS CHECKLIST.

OH.

WHY DON'T WE STEP INTO MY OFFICE, LIEUTENANT?

WHERE ARE YOU STATIONED NOW?

JUST FINISHED LSO SCHOOL

AND REPORT TO NAS OCEANA NEXT WEEK.

YOU STILL IN F-14s?

IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY TO GO?

MY SQUADRON'S DEPLOYING

TO THE MED ON THE PATRICK HENRY.

I INCLUDED THE OPEN-BOOK EXAMS

FOR ALL THREE MANUALS.

HOW'D YOU KNOW I MIGHT NEED THESE?

MY FIANCE WORKS FOR SECNAV'S OFFICE.

HE WAS TELLING ME ABOUT THIS AGING RETREAD...

"AGING RETREAD"?

THOSE WERE HIS WORDS, SIR.

OW.

YOUR NAME CAME UP, AND, WELL, I FIGURED

THESE WOULD COME IN HANDY.

WELL, THANK YOU.

MAYBE WE'LL GET TO FLY TOGETHER SOME DAY.

MAYBE YOU'LL BE MY RIO.

IF YOU'RE LUCKY, SIR.

THAT'S SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

[ phone ringing]

HANG ON A SECOND.

RABB.

Commander, Agent Holland.

AGENT HOLLAND.

COULD YOU HANG ON ONE SECOND, PLEASE?

THIS IS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE.

NO PROBLEM, SIR.

I GOT TO MEET MY GUY FOR LUNCH.

MAYBE I'LL SEE YOU AT OCEANA.

EXCUSE ME, COMMANDER.

AGENT HOLLAND, LIEUTENANT COMMANDER PARKER HAS JUST STEPPED IN.

LET ME PUT YOU ON THE SPEAKERPHONE.

Got a call this morning from Social Services in North Mountain, Maryland.

A NAVY MASTER CHIEF CLAIMING TO BE DAR-LIN'S UNCLE SHOWED UP.

He was looking for Dar-Lin.

He said he wanted to get his family back together again.

MS. RAWLINGS DIDN'T GIVE HIM ANY INFORMATION?

Oh, no. Luckily, she got suspicious

and called us first.

SOCIAL SERVICES HAD NO RECORD OF DAR-LIN.

CORRECT. THE MASTER CHIEF CLAIMS SHE'D BEEN IN AN INSTITUTION.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

WE'VE LEARNED DAR-LIN'S MOTHER WANDA WAS TOO STRUNG OUT

TO HANDLE TWO BABIES.

BEFORE DAR-LIN WENT TO HER GRANDMOTHER'S

SHE WAS DOWN SOUTH WITH COUSINS.

KNOWLEDGE OF HER CAME WHEN HARM FOUND HER AFTER ANNIE'S DEATH.

Well, we've faxed a photograph of Charles Lynch

TO MISS RAWLINGS. SHE IDENTIFIED HIM AS THE MAN SHE SPOKE TO

AND WE HAVE ESTABLISHED A FUGITIVE TASK FORCE

TO TRACK HIM DOWN.

THANKS FOR THE UPDATE, AGENT HOLLAND.

WE'LL BE IN TOUCH.

THE U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HAS ARRANGED

FOR DAR-LIN'S TRANSFER TO YUMA AT 0800 TOMORROW.

I'D LIKE TO TALK TO HER FIRST, HARM; TO PREPARE HER.

WELL, LET'S DO IT NOW.

WE JUST RECEIVED THE COURT'S AUTHORIZATION

FOR THE RELEASE OF LYNCH'S JUVENILE AND PSYCHIATRIC RECORDS.

LYNCH'S MOTHER WAS BEATEN TO DEATH

BY A DRUNKEN BOYFRIEND.

POLICE FOUND HIM SITTING NEXT TO THE BODY.

HE WAS PLACED IN A FOSTER HOME

ONLY TO MOVE TO ANOTHER FOSTER HOME

AT THE REQUEST OF THE FAMILY.

PROBLEMS WITH HIS TEMPER? NATURALLY.

WHAT'S TRAGIC IS HE BEGGED TO RETURN TO THE FOSTER FAMILY.

HE LOVED IT THERE.

ALL HE EVER WANTED WAS A FAMILY.

HE JUST COULDN'T GET ALONG.

THREE JUVENILE HALL PLACEMENTS.

EACH TIME, CHARLIE GOT IN TROUBLE FOR THE SAME REASON--

UNCONTROLLABLE TEMPER DIRECTED AGAINST SOMEONE CLOSE TO HIM.

DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE STARTING TO FEEL SORRY FOR HIM?

EVERYONE WHO'S COME IN CONTACT WITH HIM HAS SAID THE SAME THING.

LET ME GUESS, GREAT GUY TO BE AROUND UNTIL THE LAST 20 SECONDS.

CHARLES LYNCH WAS BROUGHT UP BY NO ONE.

HE HAD NO IDEA HOW TO LIVE IN THIS WORLD.

AND DESPITE HIS BEST EFFORTS

HE FAILED AT EVERYTHING HE DID.

WELL, HE'S MASTERED ONE SKILL.

YEAH, WHAT'S THAT?

REALLY GOOD AT KILLING PEOPLE.

[ whispers]: PERFECT.

Parker: HOW ARE YOU FEELING, DAR-LIN?

Dar-Lin: OKAY.

COMMANDER RABB NEEDS TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG.

NO, HONEY, COMMANDER RABB IS YOUR FRIEND.

DAR-LIN, WE NEED TO MOVE YOU TO ANOTHER HOUSE.

WHY? I'VE BEEN GOOD.

I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN GOOD.

IT'S JUST A PRECAUTION.

WE WANT YOU TO BE SAFE.

I DON'T WANT TO GO.

HELP YOU, MASTER CHIEF?

I HEARD THE PRETTIEST MARINES

IN THE ENTIRE CORPS GOT ASSIGNED TO SECNAV.

I WANTED TO SEE IF IT'S TRUE.

SERIOUSLY, CORPORAL,

I'M IN THE RECRUITING OFFICE IN DES MOINES.

I WAS WONDERING IF I CAN GET AN AUTOGRAPHED PICTURE

OF THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY

TO HANG ON MY WALL BACK THERE.

WE GENERALLY RESPOND TO REQUESTS IN WRITING.

I WAS PASSING THROUGH D.C.

AND THOUGHT I'D SAVE THE TROUBLE OF SENDING A LETTER BACK.

COULD I GET THAT SIGNED

"THANKS FOR THE HARD WORK, CHARLIE"?

[ chuckling]

WAIT ONE MINUTE, AND I'LL TAKE IT IN TO HIM NOW.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[ ominous music plays ]

I APPRECIATE IT

AND THEY'RE RIGHT ABOUT THE PRETTIEST MARINES.

JORDAN, I WANT YOU TO KNOW

I COULDN'T HAVE DONE ANY OF THIS WITHOUT YOUR HELP.

AND I APPRECIATE

HOW DIFFICULT THIS MUST HAVE BEEN FOR YOU

CONSIDERING OUR CIRCUMSTANCES.

THIS ISN'T ABOUT ME, HARM.

I, UH, HEARD THE LIEUTENANT TELL YOU

SHE MIGHT SEE YOU DOWN AT OCEANA.

THE SECNAV HAS APPROVED MY CHANGE OF DESIGNATOR.

THEN YOU'VE DECIDED?

LOOK, JORDAN, I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL I GET THIS GUY.

I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

ACTUALLY, YOU'LL SEE ME LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

BUD AND HARRIET INVITED ME

TO A.J.'s CHRISTENING.

I UNDERSTAND YOU AND MAC ARE THE GODPARENTS.

[ pensive music playing]

BAPTISM MARKS AND CELEBRATES

THE GRACIOUS, TRANSFORMING WORK OF GOD WITHIN US

NOT JUST IN THE MOMENT OF BAPTISM ITSELF

BUT THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE OF LIFE.

ID, SIR.

I HAVE A LETTER FOR LIEUTENANT COMMANDER HARMON RABB--

HAND-DELIVERY.

PARK IN LOT B. THERE'LL BE A GUARD THERE.

SHOW HIM THE LETTER AND YOUR ID.

AND HE'LL TAKE YOU TO THE QUARTERS.

THANKS.

BUD AND HARRIET

WILL YOU BE RESPONSIBLE AND LOVING TOWARD A.J.

REMAINING FAITHFUL TO HIM WHATEVER THE FUTURE MAY BRING

RESPECTING HIM WHEREVER HE MAY GO

AND REMEMBERING ALWAYS THAT HE IS A CHILD OF GOD?

WE WILL.

WE WILL.

HALT!

ADVANCE AND BE RECOGNIZED.

FLOWING WATER IS THE CENTRAL SYMBOL OF BAPTISM

OF CLEANSING AND NEW BEGINNINGS

OF GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT POURED OUT ON ALL WHO BELONG TO GOD.

[ gunshot]

DAR-LIN?

[ tense music playing]

DAR-LIN!

DAR-LIN, I KNOW YOU'RE HERE!

DAR-LIN!

WHERE ARE YOU?!

Dar-lin:[ sighs softly]

[ suspenseful music playing]

A.J. ROBERTS, I BAPTIZE YOU

IN THE NAME OF GOD, YOUR LIVING CREATOR

IN THE NAME OF JESUS, YOUR REDEEMER

AND IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

THE GIVER OF LIFE.

[ sentimental music playing]

RECEIVE THIS CHILD...

EMBRACE HIM WITH LOVE

BE HAPPY TOGETHER.

AMEN.

[ tense music playing]

THINK YOU CAN BE REAL GOOD?

UH-HUH.

THAT'S MY GIRL.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE AFRAID OF ME, DAR-LIN.

GIVE ME YOUR HAND.

ALL THAT MATTERS NOW

IS THAT WE'RE TOGETHER...

WE'RE FAMILY.

I UNDERESTIMATED HIM, JORDAN.

THERE'S ONE GOOD SIGN.

HE DIDN'T KILL DAR-LIN.

IF ALL HE WANTED WAS REVENGE FOR SOME IMAGINED CRIME

HE WOULD'VE MURDERED HER ON THE SPOT.

BUT HE PLANNED THIS.

HE TOOK HER WITH HIM.

WHAT DOES HE WANT WITH HER?

HE HAS A PATTERN, HARM.

FIRST, HE LOSES HIS TEMPER AND HURTS THOSE CLOSE TO HIM

AND THEN ONCE HE REALIZES WHAT HE'S DONE

HE BEGS FOR FORGIVENESS AND A CHANCE TO START OVER.

THE BARTENDER IN WILMINGTON TOLD ME

THAT HE WANTED TO MAKE A FRESH START.

WELL, HIS PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE SUGGESTS

THAT ALL HE EVER WANTED WAS A FAMILY.

I THINK DAR-LIN'S GOING TO BE SAFE FOR THE SHORT TERM.

YEAH, UNTIL SHE DOES SOMETHING TO SET HIM OFF.

THE FBI IS CHECKING THE HOUSE ON EVERS ROAD.

HE WON'T BE THERE.

WELL, WHERE ELSE WOULD CHARLIE CALL HOME?

THE NAVY'S THE ONLY PLACE HE EVER CALLED HOME.

HE FOUGHT TO STAY IN THE SERVICE.

HE SAID IT WAS HIS LIFE.

[ tense music playing]

I GOT YOUR FAVORITE-- PEPPERONI AND EXTRA CHEESE.

GO ON, EAT.

EAT.

I'M SORRY.

EVERYBODY SPILLS, SWEETHEART.

HERE.

NOW, I HAVE SOMETHING I WANT TO SHOW YOU.

YOU WANT TO SEE IT?

THIS IS THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY.

HE'S A VERY IMPORTANT MAN, AND HE SIGNED IT PERSONALLY:

"THANKS FOR ALL THE HARD WORK, CHARLIE."

IT PAYS TO BE GOOD, DAR-LIN.

PLAY BY THE BOOK.

ANNIE NEVER LEARNED THAT. SHE NEVER DID WHAT SHE WAS TOLD.

DON'T MAKE THAT MISTAKE.

[ ominous music playing]

[ phone ringing]

HELLO.

Bud, it's Harm. Sorry to wake you.

OH, NO, IT'S NO PROBLEM, SIR.

I WAS ALREADY AWAKE WITH BABY A.J.

TELL ME AGAIN THE SHIPS THAT CHARLES LYNCH SERVED ON.

HE SERVED ON THE STERETT, THE BUNKER HILL

AND THE SEABRIDGE,SIR.

They are all guided-missile cruisers, right?

THE FIRST TWO ARE; THE SEABRIDGEIS

an aviation logistic ship.

WHERE ARE THEY BASED?

WELL, THE STERETT IS DECOMMISSIONED.

THE BUNKER HILLIS IN WESTPAC

AND THE SEABRIDGEIS IN THE PHILADELPHIA NAVAL SHIPYARD.

THANKS.

GO BACK TO SLEEP.

THIS IS AN AVIATION LOGISTIC SUPPORT SHIP, DAR-LIN.

IT PROVIDES MAINTENANCE AND LOGISTIC SUPPORT

FOR MARINE CORPS TACTICAL AIRCRAFT.

IS THIS YOUR BOAT?

SHIP...

HONEY.

YES, IT WAS.

THE SEABRIDGE.

WE WENT VERY FAR AWAY FROM HERE

TO THE PERSIAN GULF.

I WAS ONLY A SEAMAN APPRENTICE THEN.

DID YOU LIKE IT?

IT WAS THE BEST TIME IN MY LIFE.

AT NIGHT, ON THE OPEN OCEAN

THE SKY IS SO CLEAR YOU CAN SEE THE MILKY WAY--

LIKE A RIBBON

WOVEN WITH STARS.

COLD?

ANYTHING YOU WANT, DAR-LIN.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK.

YOU WANT TO GO ON BOARD?

THIS IS LIEUTENANT COMMANDER RABB.

I FOUND WHAT LOOKS TO BE THE MASTER CHIEF'S SEDAN.

PIER-SIDE AT THE PHILADELPHIA NAVAL SHIPYARD.

Holland: Good work.

Don't do anything until I have all the teams in place.

The last thing I need is a lawyer getting shot up.

Lynch: [ talking indistinctly]

...AND THE MOUNT ABOVE US

CAN STOW UP TO 20 ROUNDS OF READY SERVICE AMMUNITION

TO BE FIRED BY ONE PERSON IN THIS ROOM.

HARM...

STAY WITH ME.

PUT DOWN THE WEAPON, AND LET DAR-LIN WALK AWAY.

I CAN'T DO THAT.

I DON'T WANT HER TO BE HURT IN ANY WAY, CHARLIE.

NEVER WOULD, SIR.

I RESPECT THAT.

I KNOW YOU CARE DEEPLY FOR THE LITTLE GIRL.

OH, YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I DO.

SHE'S THE ONLY FAMILY YOU HAVE.

YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER.

I KNOW THAT'S YOUR INTENTION.

TELL HIM, DAR-LIN

ABOUT OUR PIZZA--

PEPPERONI AND DOUBLE CHEESE.

UH-HUH, THAT SHOWS CONCERN.

I GAVE HER MY COAT.

WHAT THE HELL ELSE DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?!

I WANT YOU TO LET HER GO

THAT'S WHAT'S BEST FOR HER, CHARLIE.

RIGHT NOW, THAT'S ALL I CARE ABOUT.

SHE LOVES ME.

WHY DON'T WE MAKE IT HER CHOICE?

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO, DAR-LIN?

STAY WITH CHARLIE?

PUT YOUR WEAPON DOWN, COMMANDER.

I'LL DO THAT.

YOU DO THE SAME.

DAR-LIN, STEP THROUGH THE HATCH

AND WAIT FOR ME OUTSIDE.

Lynch: STAY RIGHT HERE, DAR-LIN.

HE JUST WANTS TO PUT YOU IN A HOME

WHERE NOBODY WILL LOVE YOU.

DAR-LIN...

DO AS YOU'RE TOLD!

RUN, DAR-LIN!

Both: [ grunting]

[ screaming]

HOLD IT! DROP IT!

THEN WHAT?!

THEN WE WALK OUT OF HERE.

I WALK OUT OF HERE NOW.

ALONE.

CHARLIE, THERE'S SOMETHING I NEED TO KNOW.

WHY'D YOU KILL ANNIE?

I TOLD HER NOT TO GET ON THAT SCHOOL BUS.

SHE JUST WANTED TO BE WITH KIDS HER OWN AGE.

SHE DISRESPECTEDME.

AND FOR THAT, YOU BEAT HER TO DEATH?

YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT?

YEAH, I GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT.

Lynch: [ screams]

[ gun fires]

A MAN COMES AT YOU WITH AN AX

YOU HAVE NO CHOICE, DO YOU, COMMANDER?

NONE AT ALL, MA'AM.

EXCUSE ME.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE OKAY NOW, DAR-LIN.

THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU, OKAY?

YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. OKAY?

OH... I ALMOST FORGOT.

[ sentimental music playing]

COME WITH ME.

ALL RIGHT.

SURE I WILL, SWEETIE.

COMMANDER, WE NEED YOUR STATEMENT.

THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT, AGENT HOLLAND.

I HAVE SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE IMPORTANT

TO DO RIGHT NOW.

[ triumphant music playing]

Tiner: COMMANDER RABB TO SEE YOU, SIR.

SEND HIM IN.

NICE WORK LAST NIGHT, COMMANDER.

WELL, THANK YOU, SIR. HOW'S THE LITTLE GIRL?

SHE'S WITH COMMANDER PARKER AT THE MOMENT.

NOW THAT THIS PROBLEM IS RESOLVED

SHE CAN BE TAKEN OUT OF PROTECTIVE CUSTODY

AND PUT UP FOR ADOPTION.

GOOD. GOOD.

I, UH, I HAVE THESE SENT OVER FROM BUREAU PERSONNEL.

ORDERS TO REPORT TO PENSACOLA IN 48 HOURS.

SAY THE WORD AND THEY WILLBE CANCELED.

YOU UNDERSTAND, SIR THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I HAVETO DO?

WHAT I UNDERSTAND, COMMANDER

IS THAT YOU'RE THROWING AWAY A BRILLIANT CAREER

AND TAKING A GIANT STEP BACKWARDS.

SORRY TO LEAVE YOU SHORT-HANDED, SIR.

NO PROBLEM.

COMMANDER BRUMBY WILL REPLACE YOU HERE.

BRUMBY... [ chuckles]

HIS EXCHANGE PROGRAM'S BEEN EXTENDED.

HE'S A GOOD MAN.

GETS ALONG WITH PEOPLE. MAJOR SEEMS TO LIKE HIM.

ADMIRAL, IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE SERVING UNDER YOUR COMMAND, SIR.

AND IF-- THAT'LL BE ALL, COMMANDER.

GOOD LUCK.

DISMISSED.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

DAMN.

[ sighs]

DID YOU TELL HIM?

YES.

WHAT THE HELL AM I GOING TO DO WITHOUT YOU?

UH, SORRY FOR THE LANGUAGE, SIR.

WELL, FOR STARTERS, BUD

YOU'LL PROBABLY WIN A FEW MORE CASES.

WELL, I'D RATHER LOSE TO YOU THAN BEAT ANYBODY ELSE IN COURT.

TECHNICALLY, YOU HAVEN'T LOST TO ME, BUD.

YOU'LL DO GREAT.

[ soft music playing]

YES?

GETTING A LOOK AT MY NEW DIGS, MATE.

PLEASURE WORKING WITH YOU, HARM.

WELL, IT'S...

BEEN SOMETHING, MIC.

DID YOU THINK YOU'D SNEAK AWAY WITHOUT SAYING GOOD-BYE?

WELL, WHY "GOOD-BYE" AND NOT GOOD LUCK?

HMM, DIDN'T I SAY THAT TO YOU ONCE

WHEN I WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO LEAVE JAG?

YES, YOU DID.

YOU SAID YOU WERE HAPPY FOR ME.

I WAS.

BUT THAT WAS DIFFERENT.

YOU WERE IN LOVE.

AND YOU'RE NOT?

WHAT DOES LOVE HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?

[ sniffles]

HEY.

HEY, YOU WANT ME TO WATER YOUR PLANTS

WHILE YOU'RE GONE?

I DON'T HAVE ANY PLANTS.

[ sighs] DAMN IT.

I HAVE SO MUCH I WANT TO SAY TO YOU

BUT I CAN'T...

I CAN'T FIND THE WORDS.

I KNOW.

[ dramatic music plays]

DAMN YOU.

WHY AM ITHE ONLY ONE CRYING?
