Wow.

Wow.

Yeah?

What else you know, huh? What do you think, we're stupid?

Tell me!

Get back!

Come on!

Hey! Come on!

in his father's footsteps as a naval aviator, Lieutenant Commander Harmon

Jr. suffered a crash while landing his Tomcat on a storm -tossed carrier at

Diagnosed with night blindness, Harm transferred to the Navy's Judge Advocate

General Corps, which investigates, defends, and prosecutes the law of the

There, with fellow JAG lawyer Major Sarah McKenzie, he now fights in and out

the courtroom with the same daring and tenacity that made him a top gun in the

air.

Administrative law is not my specialty, sir. Think of this as a learning

experience, Major. I am making you acting head of the section.

Admin's a dead end, sir.

Really?

I started out there.

You know, I was hoping for an operational assignment, an overseas duty

a shipboard billet. Are you questioning my decision, Major?

I realize you're angry with me.

Work's never been better.

On a personal level, I think that you feel... Don't make my decisions based on

emotions, Major.

Admiral, permission to speak freely?

Denied. First order of business in your new position is computer upgrade.

Dismissed.

Aye, aye, sir.

Hey, how did it go?

Outstanding. So were you back in the Admiral's good graces? Well, they did

me acting head of admin.

Well, look at the bright side, Meg.

The Admiral should get over it in a year or two.

Annie, what are you doing here?

I really need to talk to you.

Mac, it's great to see you again. Yeah, you too, Annie.

Come on into my office.

Annie.

Bye.

You know how many times I almost called you?

probably as many times as I did.

Um... That's... No, I'm here.

I'm... Thanks.

I feel like such a jerk. I... First, I tell you to stay away because I'm

overwhelmed and I want to start over and I want to see if I can make it on my

own and...

And now I come to you the first time I can't handle something.

What's going on?

Oh, I'm having problems with Josh.

Oh, what's Josh done?

He was on a school trip to Andrews Air Force Base. He left the group and snuck

into a restricted hangar at the Naval Air Facility.

And then he climbed into the cockpit of an F -14.

And then base security picked him up, sneaking out of the hangar.

Annie, I mean...

His dad flew F -14s. I'm sure he probably just wasn't thinking.

You know what?

I don't need you to defend Josh against me, okay?

Annie, take it easy.

I've already locked my husband in naval aviation, and I'm not about to lose my

son.

There's more to this, isn't there?

This is going to sound crazy.

While Josh was in the hangar, he thought he witnessed a murder.

You think he's making it up?

At first I thought it was his way of avoiding punishment, but... I know Josh

Harm. He may be curious, but he is not a liar.

Who else have you told about this?

No one.

I came straight to you.

Okay.

Yeah?

Abbott.

Permission to take a personal day, sir.

Oh, I need you here, Commander.

Sir, I'm not in court until Friday.

That's not a problem. Major McKenzie could use some help with computer

Admiral, you really think that's the best use of the Major's talents?

Are you questioning my decision too, Commander?

Perhaps not, sir.

I have a friend who's in trouble, Admiral. Annie Pendry. Her husband and

Oh, right, right. Lieutenant Lucas Pendry died... Testing a terrain

system, sir.

You proved it wasn't pilot error.

Yes, sir.

I was best man at their wedding and...

She needs some help sorting things out, and it'll only take a day.

Permission granted.

Dismissed. Thank you, sir.

Admiral, upon further reflection, I wonder if I might talk to you about

going on between you and Major McKenzie.

Are you out of your mind?

Apparently.

They had to go.

Don't you have a computer to upgrade?

It's very funny.

Fine. Harriet, give me everything you can on the reserve F -14 squadron at

Andrews Air Force Base.

Accidents. Criminal activity reports. Disciplinary problems.

The works.

Yes, sir.

When did you find out Pendry Boy had climbed into the F -14?

Saturday night. I got a call back from the eastern shore. You know, it was the

first day of hunting season.

I was hoping to bag a couple of mallards.

What do we got?

I don't know. Here's the full diagnostic check.

What was the F -14 doing in the hangar, Chief?

Routine maintenance.

Anything missing off the aircraft?

No, sir.

I'd like a list of the duty personnel who were working Saturday.

No one was scheduled to work that Saturday, Commander.

But I'll give you a list of all my people.

Thanks.

Chief, any of your men have difficulty with security clearances?

What's this got to do with the Pendry kit, sir?

Just covering all the bases, you know.

All my guys are as clean as a whistle.

Why do you suppose the kid climbed in the F -14, sir?

Well, you know, chief, same reason I would.

Get inside the dream.

How did you get into the cockpit?

You tell me how, remember?

You didn't tell your mom that part, did you? No way, she'd freak.

Good man.

Okay, so what happened after you got in the aircraft?

Well, I heard three guys arguing.

Right over there, near the van.

Were they Navy personnel?

Two -dress, normal.

Coveralls and stuff.

The other guy was the petty officer, second class.

You sure about that?

Harm, he was wearing dungarees with two black showrunners on his left sleeve.

Okay. What happened next?

Then... The men got into a fight.

The petty officer broke free.

Then the tall man, he grabbed something and chased after him. That's when the

petty officer got hit.

They loaded his body into the back of the van.

At least, that's what I think happened.

All right, buddy.

Let's try it again. Close your eyes.

Close your eyes and concentrate.

Tell me what you saw.

He had this big wrench.

Okay, what else?

When they loaded the petty officer into the van, his head was really bloody.

Harm, you believe me, right?

I'm going to be straight with you, bud.

Right now, I'm not sure.

I knew the rest of them would think I was a liar.

But I thought you would believe me.

My dad were alive. He'd believe me.

I know being a loan officer in a bank isn't glamorous, but there's something

about helping someone find a way to buy their first house, you know?

God, I remember when Luke and I got ours.

It was so small.

To us, it was a mansion.

You remember when Luke and I were laying the patio stones out back?

Oh, yeah. It had to be the hottest day of the summer. God, it must have been

about 110.

Stop for beer after each stone.

I never expected you to remember that.

By the time you guys finished, you were both tanked and my walkway had more

turns in it than the yellow brick road.

Like my life never happened, Harm.

Eleven years to...

Vanished the instant Luke's F -14 smashed into the ground.

You miss San Diego?

Do I miss bursting into tears every time I hear an F -14 flying into Miramar?

Or watching a carrier go out to sea?

Any regrets about moving here to Baltimore?

Josh loves the Oreos.

And I love the crab cakes.

Seeing anybody?

I think it's a wrong question.

No, no, it's fine.

Um, there hasn't been time, you know, with settling in and work and

Josh.

Yeah.

What about you?

No.

Well, I haven't. Not right now.

Well, I always thought that you and, um, Mac.

Macca's boyfriend.

Oh, so you're secretly in love with her.

Hey,

how's school?

Stinks.

You making any new friends?

Kids here suck.

Oh.

You getting along with your mom?

Did she tell you to ask me that?

No, I thought that one up on my own.

We fight a lot.

That's why she sent you out here to talk to me. You want to talk about it?

I'm going to be violent, Harm.

But Mom wants me to work in a bank or something.

That bites me, you know it.

Now, Josh, your mom is just concerned about what might happen to you.

Oh, really?

What's worse than counting other people's money?

Well, you can think of a few things.

Harm?

That's the same gun I saw in the hangar.

Go inside the house, Josh.

Get down!

Get down!

Are you okay?

Are you okay? Are you all right?

Oh, my baby.

You take care of that.

That's when they hit the petty officer with the wrench.

Did you see it happen?

No, sir, but I found him in the back of a van.

His face was all bloody. What else do you remember?

That's all I can remember.

Let's talk about school for a minute, Josh.

You see anybody dealing drugs there?

It's St.

Jude's. The nuts kill you.

What about the neighborhood?

No way.

Your mother see anybody new?

What does my mom have to do with anything?

That's what I'm trying to find out.

Look,

this could be anything.

As far as I know, the shooters had the wrong house.

You know, Detective, daily incident reports are easy for naval personnel to

access. If the killers had those reports, they could figure out that Josh

witness and can identify me.

Andrews is the federal installation commander, so it's out of my

I'll coordinate with the GIS.

I have to get you guys somewhere safe.

Thanks.

Uh,

you guys stay away from the windows, all right?

Okay.

It's just a precaution.

You know... I always figured Josh and I would go and visit you, but I never

imagined it was going to be like this.

Hey, listen, guys, it's been a long day.

Let's call it a night.

Why don't you take the bedroom? I'm going to sleep on the couch.

It'll be okay.

I'll go ahead.

Bud Roberts, resident.

Hi, Commander.

Yeah, one second.

Commander, I can explain.

Don't worry about that right now.

Listen, I need more research from Andrews Air Force Base tonight.

Yeah, I want you to talk to Lieutenant Cobb. I want a list of all naval

personnel on account of force on Saturday. I want you to speak personally

each and every one of them.

And you let me know if there's anyone you can't get a hold of, all right?

Yes, sir. Anything else?

Yeah. Take Harriet with you. Have her check with the gate.

I want to know every vehicle that entered the base on Saturday and what

business was.

Looking for a late model gray van with red primer.

Red primer.

Yes, sir. I'll get right on it. I'll see you tomorrow, bud. And sorry to ruin

your evening.

That's okay, sir.

Harm, I forgot to pack PJs.

Oh, Jerry Garcia was the bomb.

Say thank you. Thanks.

Which one?

After everything that's happened today.

Something festive.

Yeah. Thank you.

I really love what you've done with the plate.

Thanks. What did you expect? Plastic duck lamps?

Honestly?

Yeah. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

You got a TV?

Nope. Sorry.

Then what do you do to keep from getting bored out of your skull?

Oh.

Have I told you lately that I love you?

Have I told you there's no one else above you?

You fill my life with laughter.

You somehow make it better.

You read my trouble, that's what you do.

There's a love that's divine.

And it's yours and it's mine like the sun.

I love you. Good night.

And at the end of the day, we should give thanks and pray to the

one, to the one.

Have I told you lately that I love you?

Have I told you there's no one else above you?

Fill my life with gladness.

Take away all my sadness.

He's my trouble, that's what you do.

That was beautiful.

Good morning, Commander.

It's Josh.

Hey, Mr. Roberts.

Watch over these two. And don't let them out of your sight. Yes, sir. No, sir.

Enter.

Commander, I trust you feel refreshed after your personal day?

Admiral, I need a few days of leave.

You want to tell me what's going on?

There was an attempt to manor Josh's life last night.

Annie's living room looks like a battle zone.

Three of us damn near got killed.

Why? Josh says he witnessed a murder at the naval facility at Andrews Air Force

Base. Are they okay?

Yeah, they're fine. They're holding up.

And you want to look into it?

Off the record, sir.

This latest murder took place on a naval facility.

Let's make an official investigation.

Use whatever resources you need.

Thank you, sir.

I would like your permission to leave Josh and Annie here for a couple hours.

Lieutenant Roberts. Commander, Jag is not a daycare center.

I'm aware of that, sir. I just don't know what to do with them. Their lives

could still be in danger.

Fine. Just a minute.

I see anybody I don't know, I'll shoot them.

Perry and I called down the list of unaccounted -for personnel over at

and he spoke with everyone except for a petty officer, second -class elf.

He was supposed to be down in Florida on emergency leave for his mother's

funeral. Only, petty officer's mother didn't die last week.

She died eight months ago.

Took him a hell of a long time to get her underground, huh?

Still no sign of petty officer Elfman.

Nope. We ran his plates through the Baltimore PD computer.

Car was ticketed twice over the past two days.

It's parked at the harbor. Pier 9.

You're right on. Good work.

Harm, be careful, okay?

I'll be back.

Sir, Mr.

Pendry. Hi, Mom.

Oh, I'm sorry, Admiral. I told Josh to keep out of your hair.

So, Pete, hold on.

Let's get out of here.

What did you two find to talk about?

The Admiral was a seal. He knows three ways to kill someone with his bare

Well, that certainly sounds useful.

Well, Josh asked about field training. I guess I got a little carried away.

Ms. Pendry, Josh's father would be quite proud of him.

Yeah, you know, Josh, I think the Admiral had a lot of work to do, so we

probably go ahead and... Thanks, Admiral. I really had a great time.

did I, Josh. And you stay on that schoolwork, and when time comes for that

letter of recommendation to Annapolis, it'll be my privilege to write it.

Thank you, sir.

I appreciate your kindness, Admiral, but I hope that day never comes.

Why did I have to hear about this from the Baltimore police?

Why didn't you just come to me first?

How would I know you had a hand in this, Webb? I have a hand in everything.

What was stolen from the hangar?

What? Well, why the hell else would CIA be involved?

An electronic countermeasures box, HLQ -144.

It's only the latest in a series of thefts of high -tech parts from military

bases. Oh, yeah? Who's buying? The odd emirate, kingdom, sheepdom.

The parts are moved from the U .S. to France, then transhipped from Paris to

Middle East.

Who are we dealing with in this? A lot of bad guys.

We're mounting an operation to get them all, in this country and abroad.

Your ill -timed visit to Andrews has thrown a monkey wrench into our plans.

yeah? Well, maybe if you'd have brought me into the loop sooner, instead of

playing the man from Uncle.

That maintenance chief you spoke with at Andrews?

Ali Marks? He's one of our prime suspects.

You spooked him.

No one's seen him since you talked to him yesterday.

Yeah, well, he isn't the only one missing.

Wow.

Petty Officer Elvgren was one of ours.

Josh witnessed his murder.

Stakes are high, Commander.

They're going to go after Josh Penry again.

It was so nice and helpful today that I... You thought you'd pick some dinner.

Well, Annie just said you were low on provision.

Not that I was complaining, Harm, but it is a little hard to survive on diet

cola alone.

I don't know. I do. I stopped by the Capitol Hill Farmer's Market on the way

over.

Tell me something, bud.

Is there anything left in the store after you checked that?

Do you like her?

No, I don't like her, buddy. Monk is good.

So how does pasta pupinesca sound?

Sounds good.

I gotta go today. Well, Josh spent most of the afternoon entertaining the

Admiral. Oh, God, I'm a dead man.

They got along like a house on fire.

What about you? I was corralled by Webb.

The maintenance chief at Andrews Air Force Base is a prime suspect in a

theft group.

He's going into hiding. Well, what about the missing petty officer?

He isn't missing anymore.

Where'd you find him?

In the trunk of his car.

Admiral.

Evening, Commander. May I come in?

Yes, sir. I'm sorry. I wasn't expecting you.

Looks like you have a full house.

Yes, sir.

Carry on.

I just wanted to make sure you had everything you needed. So I've stationed

Marines around the perimeter of this building.

I appreciate that, Admiral.

Sleep better.

Good evening, Admiral.

Mr. Pendry.

Are you having dinner with us tonight, sir?

I'll jog to the Admiral. I guess I could have if I got an invitation.

You're invited.

Thank you, Commander.

Come on, Admiral.

Admiral, why don't you sit at the head of the table?

Thank you, Harriet.

Looks good.

Thank you.

Okay.

Josh?

For what we are about to receive, let us truly be thankful.

Amen. Amen.

My mom's a really great cook. I mean, she works and all, too.

Mrs. Pendry, this is the best pasta puttanesca I've had since I was

Italy. Thank you.

I learned to cook in Italy.

Luke was stationed on the Kennedy when we were married, and we spent our

honeymoon in Naples.

Oh, so did I.

What?

You never said... You never asked.

She's the mayor's daughter and it didn't work out.

I was stationed in Virginia and she missed her mother.

All right, soft rock, 97 .1.

Good morning. It's almost the weekend. Gosh.

Oh, yeah.

Hey.

Good morning.

Morning.

I thought it was done with flyers. Yeah?

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

I want to lose myself in you.

It's your turn.

You know what

scares me?

You know more about computers at your age than I ever will.

You know, when I was 10, all I had was a newspaper route.

Model airplane and an unbroken string of the X -Men starting at issue one.

Still got that?

No, when I went to Annapolis, my mom gave it to the kid next door.

Bummer. Yeah, total bummer. I'd kill to have him back now.

I haven't told you about my stepdad?

That you really hated him.

Well, it wasn't quite that bad, you know.

But I never gave him a chance.

Because he wasn't your dad, right?

Yeah.

He was a businessman.

Ultimate bummer.

Yeah, I thought so.

But you know what, Josh? You deserved a chance.

You helped me get in your mom, didn't you?

I guess.

You okay with that?

You're okay.

You're a pilot.

Here's what you need to understand, Josh.

No matter what happens, your mom will always love you first, best,

and the most.

Grab.

Tell Webb we'll be right there.

Do you recognize any of these men, Josh?

I don't know, sir.

Maybe.

Or not.

Jock, I'm going to try something.

Close my eyes again?

No, not this time.

Wait.

That's him.

Chief Marks.

Checked his two previous duty stations. There were significant thefts of

military hardware at both bases.

Hassan! Tom.

That guy with the wrench.

Gunther Harbeck.

He's one of the big fish. An arms buyer for Saddam.

Come in.

The Admiral wants to see you, Commander. Major.

Thanks, Tim.

Jack will be right with you.

Excuse me.

My name is Renier Goodfriend, Federal Armed Forces of Germany.

I'm here to see Commander Carolyn Hines.

She's in court, sir.

Perhaps you might direct me?

Sure. I'll just take you there myself.

Danke. Peter.

Yes, Director.

I'm doing my best to control the damage, sir.

Where do you think you're going?

To the bathroom.

Is that really necessary?

I... Oh, no, I'm sorry, sir. I wasn't speaking... Yes, sir. Come right back.

Yes, sir.

Hello, Josh.

What do you want?

We need to go for a walk.

Your mother might think otherwise. She's waiting for you, Josh, with some of my

friends. If you don't come quietly, they're going to kill her. You're lying.

Now, do you believe me?

You and Josh will stay with me. Tonight, we'll get you out of town for a single

morning. Good.

Take care of it right away, Director.

Webb.

Where's Josh?

He went to the bathroom a few minutes ago.

It's okay.

What? He's not there.

Are you sure? Josh!

Oh, my God.

Bud, there's a man down on the train. Call a corpsman. Josh!

You asked to go to the bathroom.

What was I supposed to do, follow him in? That's what you do for a living,

it, Webb?

I want to know what Josh knows.

Give us something to go on.

You're asking me to jeopardize my entire operation.

I'm asking you to help a little. I want to know everything you know.

If I find out you're withholding anything, I will do you serious damage.

I am not in your chain of command.

No, but you are in my line of fire, Mr. Webb.

If they realize we're on to them, we lose our chance to break up the ring,

Admiral. The local guys are little fish. We want the big guys.

How are they moving the equipment, Mr. Webb?

By ship to Le Havre.

When? Tonight.

What ship?

Only one person on our side knew that, Commander, and it cost him his life.

Alfgren.

Thank you.

Give me the haul and registration number of every ship in the port of Baltimore.

Harriet, give me an open line to the Coast Guard and tell them to stand by.

Coast Guard, sir? Coast Guard keeps track of the whereabouts of every ship

.S. territorial waters.

Uh -huh.

Yeah, hold it one second. One second.

Sir, I think we have one. It's the Tanager.

It's under Panamanian registry.

Lack of convenience, ensign. No, no, wait, sir. The captain's name is

Sadaha.

The owners are Libyan.

Admiral, according to the Coast Guard, the Tanager is declared cargo as motors,

generators, and industrial filters for passive philohab.

It departs Baltimore Harbor tonight.

Fit the profile.

Do you have a berthing yet on the Tanager?

Yes, sir. According to the Port of Baltimore, it's in Pier 10.

Admiral, we have got to get aboard that ship while it is still in American

territorial waters.

Lieutenant, give me Commander Benjamin Riles, Coast Guard Station Alpha.

Prize him of our situation.

Tell him to meet us at Pier 10.

And tell him we're going to need blueprints to the ship.

Aye, aye, sir.

You coming?

It took me six months to set this up, Brad.

You're going to ruin it in a night.

I want no part of it.

We're going to get him back.

I promise.

Commander Riles? Admiral.

Any sign of the kid?

No, sir.

What kind of cruiser board?

Minimal crew, seven, eight men total.

When do you move?

We're placing two cutters across the path, Admiral. I've got a unit on the

Well, how long is that going to take?

Thirty minutes top.

There he is.

Hey, Admiral, we have got to move now.

Let's go.

You should bring the blueprints to the ship.

Admiral, you're not authorized to go on board.

Commander, have you ever heard of the General Prudential Law of the Sea?

Yes, sir. It authorizes the use of force, Major, if a life's in jeopardy.

What's your problem?

You're trying my patience, Josh.

I won't tell you anything.

But I don't want to hurt you, Josh, so... What did you talk about with Mr.

Never heard of him.

Just tell me, what did you tell him you saw?

Didn't you just hear me?

I never heard of him.

Hi.

Nice boobs.

I hate it when guys stare at my boobs.

and drop the weapon.

Do it now!

Who the hell are you guys?

Maybe issue.

Hurrah. Did they show you photographs, Josh? No. Did you pick my face from out

of line -up? I want you to answer my question.

Mr. Webb did not show me any photographs.

Oh, Mr. Webb. I thought you didn't know Mr. Webb.

I got confused.

He was asking me stuff about why I got into the F -14.

You present problems for me, Josh.

I want to believe you.

But I'm just not sure.

So?

I guess I better find another way to get you to tell me the truth.

Please.

Please. Don't hurt me.

Put down the knife. Step away from the boy.

No. I'm not going to tell you again.

You shoot me, the child dies before I do. You willing to take that chance?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Farm!

Web, I thought you didn't want any part of this.

I'm just cleaning up my own operation.

Okay, buddy.

Matthew, are you okay?

Let's get out of here.

Hi, bro.

This man's a Navy chief. I want him charged with murder one, theft of

secrets, treason, and kidnapping.

Yes, sir. You got the kid?

Is he all right?

Yes, sir.

There's two guys down back there, Admiral. I'm going to take him topside.

By the way, Admiral, the general prudential law of the sea applies to

that are underway on the high seas, not ships that are docked.

Well, Commander, the law is a living thing. Periodically, we need to test its

limits.

Well, sir, you were really pushing the envelope tonight.

You know, Major, I think your talents may be wasted in administrative law.

I wholeheartedly agree, sir.

Well, shall we start fresh?

I'd like that.

You know, there's something I've always wanted to do.

What's that?

Wait right here.

You're not going to do that a lot, are you, Major?

No, sir.

It's okay, Mom.

Oh, God.

Thank you so much for bringing my son home.
