Captain, debris field 2 ,000 yards off the starboard bow.

Huh. Whatever it was, there's a survivor.

There's a person out there. Bump it!

Is there a Coast Guard cutter in the vicinity?

Negative, sir.

I have a con.

Captain has a con. Right standard rudder. Study on course 165. All engines

two -thirds.

Right standard rudder. Study on course 165. All engines ahead two -thirds. Aye.

Very well.

Sir, that will put us inside Cuban territorial waters.

Understood. Standing on course 165, sir.

Sir, we have visitors off of Corvall.

Cuban PTG approaching at high speed.

They're heading for us, sir. I don't think they see the survivor.

Signal bridge, tell them to stand clear.

No response, sir.

Second message. Bridge, CIC.

Approaching vessel has fire control radar in high PRF track mode.

Captain, they're looking to rumble.

This is the captain.

Drain the main battery on the PCG.

Sound General Quarters. Sound General Quarters X.

General Quarters. General Quarters. All hands, land battle status.

Such amazing news.

You have a little brother.

Someone you can trust and confide in.

Beat up.

It's great.

I don't know how great my mother's going to think it is.

When are you going to tell her?

I don't know if I could only hurt her.

Oh, don't you think she has a right to know?

You know enough of me talking about me. Let's talk about you.

Did you miss me?

Yes.

Between periods of hating you for leaving me to go to destinations that I

even pronounce.

I can make it up to you.

Okay.

You can be the barbarian.

I'll be the milkmaid.

Hello?

Grab your gear and be in my office in an hour. I'm sending you and Lieutenant

Roberts ASAP to the Caribbean.

We've got an investigation of an alleged act of aggression against a Cuban naval

vessel.

Sir. Oh, I'm sorry. You just got back from Russia. Have you slept yet?

No, sir.

Make it an hour and a half.

Yes, sir.

This destination you can pronounce.

You look like Maxwell Smart.

I figured since you only spend time with spies, I thought I'd give it a shot.

Well, come in and kiss me.

Oh, mate, how are you?

Works a little too well, I think.

Thanks for taking care of him.

My pleasure.

And for putting up with all that nonsense that happened before I left.

I know that you felt left out.

It's a new day, Sarah, and I've got you apologising.

Life is good.

Oh, I found a beauty place down at Rock Creek Park. I've already moved in.

That was fast.

Well, I only had two criteria.

A great view and room for a king -size bed.

What are your plans for tomorrow?

Oh, I'm spending the day with my boyfriend.

Good, because he's taking you to a brunch being held in his honour by the

of his new firm.

Oh. I really need you there, sir.

Commander, that's why you're here.

As soon as we showed them our 76, they showed us their wake.

We went by, picked up the refugee, returned to international waters, and

notified the chain of command.

And apparently we made it all the way up to Secna.

Well, sir, a Cuban official with a very loud voice delivered that message.

They lit us up, Commander.

My book tells me to go to general quarters.

We read the same book, sir.

Good. Are we dead?

Not quite, sir.

Not like I don't have the time.

We're steaming around here in circles.

This is going to be the longest transit time from Gitmo to Key West in recorded

history.

Could you tell us when you first saw the Cuban vessels?

As we were approaching the girl.

Radar didn't pick them up before, sir?

They had just come around the point.

Did they make an attempt at a rescue, sir?

We don't think they saw her. They were more interested in spanking us for being

in their backyard.

According to the deck log, you were half a mile in, sir.

On the assumption that the right of assistance entry would protect my six.

Did you make an attempt to signal a Cuban vessel about the girl? There was

time for that. You signaled them to back off, though, Captain. Twice.

We were in the middle of the rescue. What would you be implying with this

of questioning?

Just trying to determine the intent of both parties, sir.

Can you tell me where I stand?

Well, sir, we still have to follow up with your support and talk to the girl,

but you seem to be on solid ground.

About the girl.

How long can I grant her a temporary refuge?

Until the INS arrives, sir, and determine her immigration status.

They're on their way.

She has less than 24 hours of freedom before they send her back.

How do you know they'll send her back, sir?

Her feet are wet, Lieutenant.

They never touched U .S. soil.

She and Elion can grow up in tyranny together.

Think of it this way.

You spot a cat stranded in your neighbor's tree.

You don't see anyone around, so you climb the fence to rescue the cat.

Just then your neighbor appears, but instead of thanking you for the good

he threatens you with a shotgun.

Is that the way you saw it, sir? That's the way it happened, Lieutenant.

The captain made us proud.

I mean, after what we've seen go down, it couldn't have been handled better.

What have you seen, Commander?

Coast Guard intercept boats every week out here.

We've witnessed refugees swallow rat poison and threaten to immolate

rather than be sent back.

Picking up the girl and backing off that boat meant a lot to us.

You do realize she's feet wet after all.

The silent was unlikely.

Does the captain know that?

He's the one who told us.

It's got to be hard for him.

Why is that?

He's Cuban -American.

Hates Castro.

Sickbay's third hatch on the right, gentlemen.

Thanks.

So what am I thinking, Lieutenant?

You're wondering, sir, if Captain Breaux backed down the Cuban vessel in order

to pick up the girl before they spotted her. And am I thinking that's an issue?

Well, not a legal one, sir. The girl's life was in immediate danger. The

was obligated under international law to effect a rescue, and temporary refuge

is appropriate under Naval Regulation Article 0939.

The interference of the Cuban vessel appears immaterial.

What's my opinion of the captain?

That I couldn't tell you, sir.

I respect him.

Clever enough to stay true to his principles without breaking the rules.

Ah!

Should have got that one, sir.

I'm Commander Reb.

This is Lieutenant Roberts. We're with JAG. Petty officers Tippett and

sir. I'm acting senior corpsman while the chief is on emergency leave.

I've been assigned to be the girl's interpreter, sir.

Good. How is she?

Not bad, sir, considering what she's been through.

I'm keeping a close watch for pneumonia.

What's her name?

Reynalda Mantilla, sir.

Reynalda.

Is she aware of what's going on?

Pretty much, sir.

What has she told you so far?

They were she and her father in a 12 -foot skiff, sir. They were trying to

it to relatives in Miami. They sank in total darkness 11 miles out.

Her father took off his pants, tied off the openings, and blew air into them so

she could use them as a flotation device.

20 minutes later, he was gone.

He spent the rest of the night being poked by sharks.

Where's the mother?

She died when the girl was three, sir.

Is, uh, Rinaldo up for answering a few questions?

Finale.

Great.

Ask her which ship she saw first, the American frigate or the Cuban patrol

The day,

sir.

She wants to know if you're going to take her to the U .S., sir.

Jag on the bridge.

Pine Tree, this is Greenfield 2 -4.

This is Pine Tree. State your purpose.

Request permission to land and offload INS representative.

Sir?

Permission denied.

Send it back, XO.

Greenfield 2 -4, this is Pine Tree. Permission denied.

Pine Tree, Greenfield 2 -4 requests clarification.

Captain, we have a word in private, sir.

XO, it's your bridge.

Aye, aye, sir.

Greenfield 2 -4, this is Pine Tree. Continue in the hungry pattern.

I waved her off, Commander, because there is no need for the INS aboard this

vessel. I am personally delivering Reynaldo Montilla to the United States,

she belongs.

Captain, sir, I am obligated to inform you that if you continue on this

What article of the UTMJ would I be subject to court punishment?

Article 92, sir. Violating general orders and willful dereliction of duty.

Can you tell me what naval regulations guarantee the right to seek freedom from

political oppression?

None.

That's why I'm doing this.

Captain, is this really the way you want to end your naval career?

On principle, yes.

Sir, what if I told you there may be another way?

Rinalda has said she has family in Miami, sir.

The INS could determine that since her father is dead, she's better off in the

.S. with them.

And if they determine otherwise.

Captain, I'm not selling insurance.

It's just a reason.

Well, sir, the lieutenant and I believe that Captain Barroa acted lawfully and

in accordance with the standing rules of engagement when he trained his gun on

the Cuban vessel.

Yeah, but Cuba is claiming that we were the aggressor. They would be wrong, sir.

Senior officers aboard ship and the refugee herself back up the captain's

account. Well, second, I've got a 3 a .m. call from the president. He's having

Ili and Gonzales night in Paris and doesn't want that girl anywhere near U

soil. Is he making it to our issue, sir?

Mine.

Keep me apprised. We'll do it.

Sir, may I ask why you didn't tell him about the helicopter incident?

Because Captain Barroa reversed his decision, Lieutenant.

So you're just going to let him slide, sir?

I'll watch and wait.

See the bend in the driver?

Couldn't see it over that lady's diamond. How did she keep her arm from

asleep?

You all right?

Sure.

So what do you say we start with the person who bought her the diamond?

Why not?

There he is. Larry.

Lieutenant Colonel Sarah McKenzie. Sarah, Larry Kaliske, senior partner of

Price and Siegel. My pleasure.

Well, I have to say that when Mick told me you were a Marine Jag, I expected

John Wayne in a dress.

You looking for a job?

No.

Mind if I take him away for a second?

I'm not his boss. You are. Oh, you're very good.

Come on. I'll be right back.

I'll talk to the girl, but outside of proof of persecution or a serious

condition. I see no INS precedent for granting her asylum.

So you'll be sending her back, ma 'am? According to the U .S. Interest Section

in Havana, she has relatives in Cuba who have the means to care for her. That's

good enough for us.

But if she had sent foot on U .S. soil... She could have applied for

under the Cuban Adjustment Act.

But why didn't that work for Alien Gonzalez?

He's six. They're not considered old enough to understand the implication of

choice. Reynald is 13.

A circuit court of appeals ruling determined that a 12 -year -old Russian

was capable of making such decisions in his own interest.

She can't take advantage of that because she's feet wet. I admit that it all

seems arbitrary, Lieutenant, but when refugees are desperate enough, they

generally find a way.

that went pretty well.

You're talking about me to Larry Kaliske?

Yeah. You like him? In what way?

He thinks you're the complete package.

Sharp, smart, and sexy.

He's not wrong. You are. Is that why you were gloating?

Gloating? I have a right to be proud of you, Farrah.

Nick, I came here as a favor to you.

I came because I had to and you said you wanted to be with me. Yeah, but you

knew how uncomfortable I was going to be. Wait a minute.

This tape was about me.

Four hours when I didn't have to pursue you or excuse myself while you spoke to

your colleagues.

I'll take care of your dog.

I apologize for that. But that's how you see me. A moon -faced admirer who

massages your ego and helps you forget your past. That is not true.

Look, I work for this man now.

This is a bloody good opportunity, and I'm not going to jeopardize it because

something that happened to you before I was in your life.

Rick, you are wrong. Sarah, leave it. Get in the car.

Excuse me, Captain.

At ease.

How is she? Better, sir.

Petty Officer Montanez is monitoring her condition.

What do you think it is? I'm not sure, sir. There's no fever. We purged her of

the seawater she ingested.

Could be parasites?

Hard to say.

What if it's something more serious, like organ damage?

That would require testing equipment more sophisticated than what we have on

board, sir.

Ma 'am, it's my understanding that INS regularly admits refugees to U .S.

hospitals for treatment.

Under urgent medical circumstances only.

Well, we have a girl with stomach pains and no credible means of diagnosis.

When did these symptoms first occur, Corman?

I was in the stockroom at the time, sir.

The captain was with her when it happened.

Is there anything further?

No, sir.

Then that'll be all.

Yes, sir.

Do you recall the time, Captain? About 15 minutes before you arrived.

I came down to see how she was doing.

She was looking a little queasy, but talkative, even animated.

Then suddenly she gripped her stomach and collapsed on the floor.

Mrs. Vitigliano, if Rinalda were admitted to a U .S. hospital, would she

considered feat right?

Yes, Commander.

Ma 'am?

Your decision.

Can we get that helicopter back?

Commander, I was expecting you.

Captain, I have a question about the girls. Do you have a family?

No, sir.

I thought as much.

You and I are alike in that way. In a lot of ways, in fact.

Captain, about the girls.

If I had started a family, Reynaldo could have been my daughter, Commander.

But instead, she was born under a system where families turn each other into the

police. Where are the conditions in Cuba, sir?

Are you aware of what those conditions do to the soul?

I know you are, Captain.

Do you care what happens to this girl?

Do you care about naval regulations, sir?

Fight one for me, Commander.

Personnel of the Department of the Navy shall neither directly nor indirectly

invite persons to seek asylum or temporary refuge.

You think I've done that?

You tell me, sir.

Well, I wanted to comfort her.

to let her know that there were other Cubans who had grown up without blood

families. I did not suggest she fake an illness.

Sir, I saw you wave off... I break rules cleanly, Commander.

If I do it, you know it.

I don't cheat.

Well, sir, you want to tell me what was... Foreman just called.

Reynaldo's running fever. It's up to 102 and climbing.

You're welcome to check for yourself.

How the hell did this happen?

That's not a loophole. That's a black hole. Anyone can fake a stomachache.

The girl's sick, Mr. Secretary.

Not half as sick as the president's going to be.

Well, sir, as I'm sure the admiral has indicated, there's little we can do to

affect the outcome.

I can assure you, though, sir, her illness does appear legitimate.

Commander, is that the General Warren?

General Quarters, General Quarters, all hands, man your battle stations.

Yes, sir, the bridge is sounding, General Quarters.

I'm going to have to cut this short. We're manning battle stations, sir.

Battle stations.

Call order in line.

Jag on the bridge.

He's on an intercept port, sir.

They're back, Commander.

Let's make her eat our wake.

All engines to head full.

All engines to head full.

You're not going to try and outrun it, are you?

I'm going to run her out of gas, Commander.

Captain, they're signaling us.

Orlando Mantilla alive in Cuba.

Who's Orlando Mantilla?

That would be the girl's father, Lieutenant.

All engines stop. All engines stop.

State Department confirms the meth.

Orlando Mancia was picked up by a garbage scowl eight miles off Havana.

He's dehydrated, but awake and lucid. Has he made a statement, Kim?

He wants to be reunited with his daughter.

And he will be. The girl appears to be stable now, and the INS doesn't like to

interfere with the rights of a non -abusive parent.

Ma 'am, Reynalda needs treatment.

I would like to proceed with the plan to bring her to the hospital at NAS Key

West.

And I don't think we should take the Cubans at their word. What are you

suggesting? That they've conscripted some stand -in for the real Orlando

Mantilla? Or that the real Orlando Mantilla is being controlled by Cuban

officials? Why would they have to force him to ask for his daughter back?

I'm sure he wants to be with her, Lieutenant.

but in the United States, where they were originally headed. He's in Cuba

Captain. I agree with Skipper, ma 'am. If the Cuban government is sincere about

uniting the two, they could send her father to us.

The loophole is closed, gentlemen. This is not Elian Gonzalez's father.

Orlando Mantilla wants to be free. Orlando Mantilla and his daughter are

They should thank God for their blessings and try to immigrate legally.

immigration to the U .S. is far from automatic.

There's a lottery involved, and then authorities can delay applications at

Captain, you've stated your case. Now let me do my job.

First thing is, you tell the girl her father's alive. Ma 'am.

Sure. May I suggest that before we do anything, we verify the existence of the

father and the veracity of these statements?

Fair enough.

Thank you, Commander.

You may very well have given that family a reprieve.

Hi, this is Sarah. Leave me a message and I'll call you back.

Sarah, it's Mick.

I'm too angry to talk about it in the car, but I'm ready now.

I'm at 1711 Connecticut Avenue, apartment 906.

Mick, I'm sorry, I...

Fiddling,

Lieutenant. What's up?

Sir, do you support the captain's position?

I support an informed process, but...

This has nothing to do with the captain.

You've been awfully helpful to him, sir. It seems that way.

Sir, that's my point.

I'm not playing favorites.

Well, I'll bet you the captain thinks you are, sir.

It appears you were one step ahead of us, Commander.

The Cuban government just invited me to Havana to interview Orlando Mantilla.

I've suggested that she be accompanied by a representative of the United States

Navy. We'll hold off telling Rinaldo until we return.

Well, that's a good idea, ma 'am.

Good luck. I don't think you understand.

The captain suggested you come with me.

With blessings from the Secretary of the Navy.

This is a CNN special bulletin. You are watching a live video feed from Cuba of

President Fidel Castro speaking with what is assumed to be an official

delegation. Although they won't comment directly on the nature of the visit,

Cuban authorities indicate that the thawing of U .S.-Cuban military tensions

might be forthcoming.

From Havana, this is Chuck DeCaro, CNN. Hi.

Special assignment.

Tyner wasn't at his desk, so we just... Was it tonight?

Seven sharp.

Not tomorrow?

Danny's out of town tomorrow.

Oh.

Well, I apologize.

Hey, J .J. Wooden, I'm usually more appealing without egg on my face.

I understand.

Last semester, I pulled an all -nighter for a poli -sci exam, and, well,

breakfast, I fell asleep in my omelet.

Well, it's great meeting you. You know, your mother's told me a lot about you.

Says you have good character.

You told him I had good character?

Remember the time your friend Troy stole a bag full of army men from a toy store

and you brought it back?

Well, yeah, that was because I told him to steal the model of the Enterprise.

Good evening, Mr. Mantilla. How are you feeling?

He's better.

Says we're taking good care of him.

Why isn't he in the hospital?

This is one of the president's residences.

He felt Mr. Mantilla could recover here in peace.

He's receiving excellent medical attention.

He's asking about Reinalda.

She has a fever and stomach cramps.

Tenia dolor de estomago, pero ahora se siente mejor.

We plan to take her to the United States for treatment.

Los doctores del barco la están cuidando muy bien.

May we speak with Mr.

Mantilla properly?

You speak Spanish, Commander?

Well, I speak a few words, two of which are Estados Unidos.

Neither of which did I hear you say.

I don't understand.

He's questioning your translation skills.

May I suggest that you improve them or tell Mr. Mantia that his daughter will

waiting for him in our country.

Ask him what he did after he escaped and his boat capsized.

He blew air into his pants

so his daughter would stay afloat.

But he got tired and grabbed onto a wooden seat.

The waves were big.

And he couldn't hold on to her.

He says he's stupid.

Should I let him know what you're trying to tell him about his daughter?

Yes. Please.

Will they bring Reynalda here?

Ask him if he would still like to go to the United States with Reynalda.

I'll answer that.

He's been offered a good job here with more money.

So you're saying that you won't let him leave?

I don't make those decisions.

He says he's happy to be in Cuba as long as his daughter is with him.

These orders come straight from the SecNet themselves.

In accordance with Orlando, Matias wishes Reynaldo is to be returned to him

Cuba.

We could send her back on the PTG, Captain.

They duped you?

Sir.

As soon as Reynaldo arrives and is out of sight of the cameras, her father will

be imprisoned.

Captain, the INS monitors returned refugees with the full cooperation of

Cuban government.

Replace the word cooperation with control, ma 'am. Captain, we need to

Reynaldo that her father is alive and he wants her back. He may be alive, but he

speaks with Castro's tongue, Commander.

What the hell happened to your objectivity?

Don't tell me Fidel bought you with a Cohiba and a television camera.

This is not a forum, Captain. You are under order. Stand down, Commander!

I am the highest authority on this ship.

And the only one who's lived under a communist dictatorship.

And if anyone here believes that they have a better understanding into that

world, speak up.

Helmsman. Yes, sir.

Give me a heading for Key West.

Aye, aye, sir.

We're going home.

Captain, let me ask you something.

Why do you think you have the right to separate father and child?

What gives you the right to bring them together under totalitarian rule?

Father's wishes.

Even if we could believe that to be true, ma 'am, they'd be selfish wishes.

If I were in his position, I'd want her to live under a free flag.

Do you have children, Captain?

No, I don't, Lieutenant.

With all due respect, sir, I don't think you know what you would do.

When my parents heard the Cuban youth were being sent to schools in East

Germany, they put me on a Pedro Pan flight to Miami.

I was four and a half.

Emotional reasons aside, Captain. I can't put them aside.

My father died in prison.

My mother had heart failure at 38.

Bridge radio control. We have the Secretary of the Navy and the Judge

General for the Captain.

Patch it up.

Aye, aye, sir.

Mr. Secretary.

This is Captain Baroa, the USS Dayton.

Captain, I have been informed by NAS Key West that you're presently on course to

that facility.

That's correct, sir.

Your orders are to head to Guantanamo. I understand, sir, but I believe that I

have a greater duty to act in the best interest of the refugees.

Reynalda Montilla is running a high fever and deserves the finest medical

available. It was always her father's intention that Reynalda reach the United

States. We're accommodating those wishes.

Finally.

Most of the men and women of this vessel are alive today because the United

States opened its arms to their ancestors.

Reynaldo Mantilla has been denied the same privilege because she wasn't lucky

enough to reach our shores. Captain, I don't give a rat. Sir, before you

continue, I should advise you the conversation is being heard on the

You arrogant son of a... Captain!

A .J. Chickwood and Judge Advocate General, I have to tell you that you're

violation of a direct order which can result in court -martial dismissal and

hard labor at Leavenworth.

I can't obey the order, sir. Not in good conscience.

Hold on.

Mr. Secretary, he's fallen on a sword.

I advise you to relieve him of duty.

That should go through the chain of command.

Well, yes, sir, but by that time he'll be docking at Key West. I would deal

it now while you have him on the line.

This is the Secretary of the Navy speaking. Is the XO on the bridge?

Yes, sir, I'm here.

Your name and rank?

Commander William Crozier, sir.

Commander Crozier.

Stay on. Hi, sir.

This can't work, Captain.

What, Commander?

Trying to prevent the Secretary of the Navy from replacing you with the XO,

For all I know, the Secretary was inviting the Commander to his birthday

Well, you'd be the only person on this bridge who believes that, Captain.

So be it.

XO, I advise you to get the Secretary back on the horn and receive your

Commander. I heard you.

Commander, this is more than an issue for Captain Perot.

This is a crusade.

You may want to consider it. Is it worth your career taking a dive for his

principles? You don't have to be Cuban to agree with the captain. Just spend a

day out here watching refugees being sent back.

I care what happens to this girl.

Well, what about what this girl feels and thinks?

She doesn't even know her father's alive.

Sir, we need to tell her. Don't complicate it for her, Commander.

If she gives up her freedom now, she'll regret it when she's older.

With all due respect, sir, that's speculative.

I need to be sure before putting my career in jeopardy.

Rinalda, I represent the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Your father was found alive at sea. He was rescued and brought to Havana.

Yeah. We visited him, and he told us that he wants us to bring you to him.

He said he wants to go to the United States.

Well, ask her if she realizes that she'll be separated from her father.

She believes you'll see her father, because they had an

agreement.

The one who made it to the U .S. would stay.

The one who didn't would keep trying.

Excuse me, Captain.

XO, I have a flash president's message from the Secretary of the Navy. I'll

that.

Cap.

Master at arm?

Yes, sir.

Commander Crozier is under arrest.

Confined to quarters.

Let's refer the notice.

Sir? That's an order.

Aye, aye, sir.

What are you doing, Captain?

You're saving your career, XO.

By preventing you from disobeying an order to take control of the ship?

You're under arrest. You can't answer one way or the other.

Well, sir, you have what you want now.

I hope it's enough.

This is the captain.

Inform radio to send this message to the U .S. organization Cabana Americana.

The American frigate, the USS Stanley Dace, will be arriving in the morning at

NAF Key West with a rescued Cuban girl.

Aye.

Come in.

It's beautiful.

I'm sorry.

I was being selfish and insecure.

You did have the right to expect more from me.

You're wrong about how I think about you.

The truth is that you challenge, in the best way, my

preconceptions about men.

I was going to accuse you of being selfish and insecure.

Do you love me, Sarah?

Yes.

Is that because I love you?

It's because you are you.

Adding another line.

Why?

To celebrate another week of having each other in our lives.

I'd hope to feel the reason, chef.

How reasonable would you be if your principles were on the line?

Well, I wouldn't disobey a direct order.

She's free.

Doesn't that mean anything to you? To all of us, Captain.

That's never been in question.

The Commander, the Lieutenant, and myself, however, are driven by reason.

You're not, and that's where you stand alone.

Vamos.

Captain Baroa, I'm Ronnie Conger with the State Department.

Excuse us. Thanks.

Captain, I have orders to put this girl in a helicopter and send her back to

Cuba. Once she touches the dock, she'll be feet dry.

Now we will do this with or without your cooperation.

Her father wants her back, sir. Mr. Conger, I'm Janet Vitagliano. I'm from

INS. The girl's aware of her father's decision, but she wants to be here

nonetheless. Now, she does have the right to choose for herself based on...

ruling from the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.

We're in the 11th, ma 'am.

I'm sorry, but this order comes from the top. The parent's wishes are binding

and you're overruled. Not if the parent is abusive.

I'm sorry?

Rinaldo's father put her out to sea in a boat that was too small, recklessly

endangering her safety. He was trying to get her to the U .S.

Almost killed her. We have 200 witnesses aboard this ship who will attest to

that. That is not child abuse.

Leaving a child alone in a car for 10 minutes is child abuse, Mr. Congress.

What are the consequences of these charges, ma 'am?

An INS hearing.

Then I suggest you take Rinaldi into your custody for processing.

I could do that.

If her father wants to contest the charges, he can come here and testify.

Okay, this is all amusing, but... Mr. Conger, this has been a very long day.

Now shut up and get out of our way.

Thank you both.

You're an annoying man, Captain.

And you're welcome.

I knew you'd step up when it counted, Commander.

You see?

We are aligned.

The only difference is you're smart.

Well, sir, I would take a moment.

It's going to be rough from this point on, Captain.

Yep.

Mrs. Vitigliano, it's been a pleasure, ma 'am. Well, Commander, if I wasn't too

old, too short, too married...

Never mind.
