Orange Crush, this is Jack Knife. Confirming target, over. Target

Jack Knife. Predator in range.

Armed and ready, sir.

Fire one.

Firing.

Can you confirm, computer jackknife?

Negative, sir.

We have two males, one female, and a child.

I targeted the wrong vehicle, sir.

An airstrike to take out Al -Qaeda terrorist leader Kabir just failed.

Instead, we incurred civilian casualties, leaving Kabir's whereabouts

Kabir's brother Mustafa warned of another terrorist attack spearheaded by

sir. If we can't find him, have we at least uncovered a clue as to what the

was? We may have.

Leighton Webb suspects Kabir listens to the services of Russian naval officer,

Captain Mikhail Yaroslav.

So he may be in league with Russian extremists? Naval extremists.

Which is why I'm assigning you to a think tank I'm creating. You know more

Kabir than anyone, and you have the research assets to expand your base of

knowledge.

Tell me where the Navy's vulnerable to Kabir, and show me how to stop him.

Yes, sir.

And to that point, I'd like Commander Rabb and Colonel McKenzie back in

Afghanistan. Officially, they'll investigate civilian casualties from

strike. But unofficially, we're investigating Kabir.

Correct. Sir, why not be above board and announce what we're doing?

Despite the desire to do so, CIA and Navy missions do not always mesh.

So I want you involved to protect the Navy's interests. Sir, there may be a

hitch in this.

Gunnery Sergeant Glenda was implicated in the collateral damage due to the

airstrike. Sir?

That's right, our gunny.

Sir, two senior JAG officers investigating someone they know is going

flags. I trust you can lower them, Commander.

Good luck.

You see the gunny. Give him my best.

Are the prisoners they're bringing aboard al -Qaeda, sir?

Two members of a cell captured in eastern Afghanistan.

Are we supposed to interrogate them, Lieutenant?

Nope, just observe.

What? Standard of protocol, state of the prisoners.

You say we ignore all that, sir, and just beat the crap out of them. Because

we'll be too busy preventing everybody else from doing that, Petty Officer.

Thank you, Corporal. Ma 'am.

Gunny? Commander.

Colonel. Good to see you again.

Let me show you where you can sell your gear.

How are you, Gunny?

Confused as to why senior attorneys are assigned to this investigation, ma 'am.

The Admiral wants to do right by you, Gunny. Take it as a compliment.

That's what the Commander wishes. I will, sir. Look, Gunny.

We know you were tasked with CIA on that mission.

See you later, Sharon.

All right, sir.

I lead a special reaction team that reports back to Clayton Webb.

Well, our primary mission is to monitor the CIA's pursuit of Kabir. Our

investigation into the civilian casualty issue is our secondary mission.

In that case, ma 'am, I'll make things even easier for you. I'm responsible for

those deaths.

Hello?

Lieutenant?

I don't believe we've met.

Came aboard this morning.

Dale Woodley, Central Intelligence Agency.

I'm Lieutenant Bud Robertson of the ship's JAG. This is my legalman, Petty

Officer Second Class Coates.

Looks like something out of Mission Impossible.

Mission Probable, Petty Officer.

Guard!

My guess is he wasn't installing a TV, sir.

Part of Operation Hydra.

We've fallen into being two other al -Qaeda terrorists. Finally caught up to

heading north in a white Toyota pickup.

maneuvered ahead of him a few clicks to set him up for the strike.

He couldn't differentiate between the vehicles?

Apparently not, sir.

You want that to suffice as your answer, Gunny?

Winds were up, visibility was low, a lot of trucks around here in that color.

If you had doubts about the target, why did you confirm it?

I wasn't expecting any other vehicles, ma 'am. That's a remote area.

And I told an Afghan woman...

to warn nearby residents to stay indoors.

And she's a scholar, sir.

Speaks Arabic, Dari, and Farsi. Her name's Farisa Tariq.

Here's a photo.

She warned them to stay indoors. Why didn't they?

I tried to find that out myself, sir. I went to the village in question, but my

Farsi's still rough. They couldn't understand me.

Where can we find this Farisa?

I've been looking for her for two days, sir, but I wouldn't worry, Commander.

She'll show up.

Theresa documents Afghan genealogy, spends most of her time moving from

to village.

Anything else, Gunny? Yes, ma 'am. Lieutenant Commander Coulter would like

to stop by and say hello.

I asked to be recalled.

I mean, for all I know, one of these could be bin Laden.

So what's your guys' initial take on the missed airstrike? We're just getting

into it.

This is quite a facility. I'm impressed.

Well... I'd like to think I'm special, Colonel, but the truth is this is just

Operation Hydra, identifying DNA of al -Qaeda and Taliban leaders killed in

airstrikes. With this set up, I can test DNA in -country without having to ship

it back to the U .S. Find anyone we know yet?

That depends.

Who are you looking for?

Okay, language barrier.

We want to go through.

Same simple enough.

How much? How much?

Even I know better than to show the whole roll.

Just keep your eyes on the road.

See, the problem with man country is that it's run by men.

Well, after this new government opposes the rule of law, that will all change.

Think that'll happen before we run out of money?

The supplies have been taken by bandits. I think Gunny was helping them out.

They'll exchange information for food.

She was never here, was she?

No.

Let's get out of here.

Here there's an explanation, ma 'am. Yes, Fariza didn't do the job. She

disappeared and subsequently Kabir escaped.

Now what does that say to you? Not what you're implying, sir.

Look, Gunny, where are your team members?

I only met her once, sir. How well do you know her?

Well enough to put myself on the line for her, ma 'am.

Unfortunately, Gunny, that's not going to fly.

It's your prerogative, sir. We want to know more about this woman. We've

enlisted some locals to put out the word, see if they can find her.

Now, in the meantime, resume your duty.

Yes, ma 'am. I will be sniffing out Kabir. Oh, good. That'll put us on

path. Yes, sir. And for the record, Teresa is not working for the other

and she never would have betrayed me.

He's in love with her.

You wanted to see me, Taffy?

Agent Woodley, I'll be direct. Are you bugging cells where I'm confining out

caterprudence? Do you have an issue with this, sir? My JAG does.

It raises legal issues that might be used to advantage by the defense

We're not in court, Lieutenant. We're in war.

No, but we may decide to take these individuals to court for war crimes. I'm

trying to preserve the options. No, you're trying to have it both ways.

These men haven't even been interrogated yet. Aren't we getting ahead of

ourselves here? I would agree with that.

Why don't you talk to the prisoners, then we'll reconvene. And you expect

to be forthcoming, sir? I don't know. Apply your training to the problem and

what happens.

That's exactly what I've been doing, sir.

No shortcuts here. But, Captain... So, for the time being at least, I would

appreciate you keeping your interrogations within the parameters set

And to ensure that you do so, I'm ordering Lieutenant Roberts and his

to be in attendance.

Aye, aye, sir.

Salaam. Salaam.

What's my name?

Stand by out here. He doesn't know you.

Right here, guy.

Goodbye.

Victor.

Poppy harvest?

Who am I to tell the farmers not to make the best profit they can? You would if

your son was addicted.

My son would never do drugs. He likes having fingers.

We lost the beer.

Why do you always think that I need you to tell me what's going on in my world?

My apologies.

What do you know?

Much.

Can you tell me where he is?

The Kamath.

What do you need?

Weapons? Ordinance?

Well, stop. Thank you.

What do you want, then?

Nothing he can't get more of from me.

I have already said all I will ever say. You said nothing.

And we are in agreement.

Not yet.

Give me five minutes.

Guard!

Staff Sergeant, a moment. Yes, sir.

May I speak with you in private?

Drug -induced information was excluded from Mustafa Ati's tribunal due to lack

of probative value.

We're approaching six hours.

Wasted time, Lieutenant.

No, look, I know that you feel frustrated.

The way that I participate depends on the way that you... I don't care about

your court case. I'm trying to prevent another 9 -11.

Where'd you put the other prisoner?

Three compartments down.

I'm going there to see what he has to offer.

We're on the same side here.

You have no idea what it's like to be on my side, Lieutenant.

But I'll be happy to give you the opportunity.

Just trying to do my job.

Well, now you've got two.

This one's all yours.

Guard!

We have a plan, Lieutenant?

Where's Captain Kirk when you need him?

If he were here, he would tell you to honor the Prime Directive.

Starfleet personnel shall not interfere with developing societies.

Very good.

Captain Kirk interfered all the time.

To his constant regret.

Excuse me, but are we talking Star Trek now?

You were educated in the U .S.

What happened to you?

I learned to love Allah.

Allah does not advocate killing those who disagree with you. You know nothing

about it.

I know about IDIC.

What's that, sir?

Infinite diversity, infinite combinations.

From the Koran, sir.

From Mr. Spock.

Mr. Farouk believes Kabir is staying in a cotton mill 60 miles north.

They spotted him in the area, buying gasoline.

Is there a verification, sir? In progress.

How do you know it was him?

They looked him in the blue eye and then the brown one.

I want a piece of this, sir.

I'm not interested in your personal vendettas, Galindez.

This is the business of saving American lives.

We do it fast, we do it thoroughly, and we do it my way.

May I ask what that is, sir?

We watch while planes drop bombs.

Sexy beast.

You wanted to slit Kabir's throat.

All of you take this so personally.

Two buildings fall down, and you scavenge the planet looking for the

You think we couldn't?

Almost every building in Kabul has collapsed.

War is our life here.

You can be its victim, or you can find out what it can do for you.

Gunny and I are taking off.

I'll call back when we have strike confirmation.

And my shipment?

On its way.

May Allah be with you.

You're with me now.

I'm a journalist. You're my bodyguard or guide as the situation dictates.

This is my team.

This is Clayton Webb. I'll be continuing on with him. Return to base.

Pass the word to Commander Rabb and Colonel McKenzie.

Secure my weapon, Corporal. All right, Gunny.

What are Rabb and McKenzie doing here?

Investigating me, sir.

So is this cotton mill, sir? Forget the cotton mill. We're on our own.

My intel has that location being inhabited by a rival warlord.

Farouk was setting us up to do his business.

You traded explosives for this information?

I promised him explosives.

What's he getting?

Folding chairs.

Maybe it'll encourage him to sit down with his enemies.

This is Ghazi.

His father was executed by the Taliban.

He's the chief breadwinner of his family, been repairing cars for the last

years. A man accompanied by a woman asked him to check his engine and then

headed east.

He matched the woman to Fareed's photo.

Did you get a description of the guy?

What did he say?

His eyes were different colors, one brown, one blue.

You look exhausted, Lieutenant.

It's the interrogation, sir.

How's that going?

Better, sir.

Moral protocol issues?

Well, they seem to be resolved, Skipper.

So what is it?

I was able to obtain some information, sir.

You or Agent Woodley?

Myself, sir.

The prisoner and I found some common ground, and we've been speaking for the

last four hours.

You're joking.

No, sir.

He was very tired, didn't realize what he was saying, but during a discussion

Kolinar, he let it slip out.

What's Kolinar?

An attempt to purge all emotion and achieve a state of pure logic, sir.

It's a Vulcan concept, sir. I didn't really think that it was possible, but

apparently, Kabir achieved this state while on retreat at his compound.

What do you have that's relevant, Lieutenant?

The location of the compound, sir.

Sandcrab. Gunny.

Yes, Commander.

What's your status?

Hooked up with Clayton Webb, sir. He's interfacing with his operatives at the

moment. Good. Stay with him.

Have you found Farisa, sir?

She's with Kabir, Gunny.

With all due respect, sir, I don't buy it.

We spoke to someone this afternoon who saw them together. He ID'd Kabir by his

eyes. One blue, one brown.

It makes no sense, sir. It does if she works for him.

She's a historian, Commander.

She's risked her life opposing the Taliban. She'd never support their

I know that's what she told you, Gunny.

He must have forced her to go with him, sir. Maybe he needed an interpreter.

Kabir speaks eight languages, Gunny. Listen, you're going to have to let this

one go and concentrate on the task at hand. I need you to monitor Webb and

report back to us. Is that clear?

Yes, sir, it is. Talk soon.

Good news, sir.

My man aboard the Seahawk just told me.

He was able to obtain Kabir's destination in Afghanistan from a

Central Command is riding herd. Your team has been assigned to mop up.

he headed, sir?

The Argandab Valley.

Ground troops?

Bombs.

Call it off, sir.

Right. Mr. Webb, he has a woman with him. I know her.

Not for long.

She's not involved, sir.

I'm sorry, and keep your hands off me. The mission can be changed to a rescue,

sir. Oh, yeah, that'll play in the war room.

I need your support on this, sir.

You need to shut up and think this through. If you could just hear me out.

interested.

Now do I have your attention, Mr. Webb?

Yes.

What do I need to know about this woman?

That I'm involved with her, sir.

You having second thoughts about gunning?

His instincts have always been pretty good.

Love is an antidote to instinct.

Max!

Minefield. Those were anti -personnel mines we just went through.

Great. Look carefully at the ground around you.

Do you see anything?

Stars. Stars.

You okay?

Yeah, I think I'm fine.

Look, isn't the idea to bury mines so you can't see them?

Sometimes there's a little depression or a slight pile.

Well, which is it, a depression or a pile?

Depends on how long ago it was buried.

I'm going to stand up.

Okay, just do it in place.

The right rear tire is shredded.

Yeah, so is the left front.

Look, maybe the mines we hit were the only ones here.

What are the odds of that?

Kind of long.

No, not kind of long.

Very long.

Incredibly long.

Astronomically long. Your odds of winning the lottery are greater than...

Matt.

I get the point.

What are you doing?

Well, you can't walk over here, so I'm going to drive closer to you.

What about the mines?

Well, they're anti -personnel mines. They won't blow up a Humvee. I'm not in

Humvee.

Good point.

Toss me the canteen.

Any ideas?

I'm, uh, thinking.

Okay, I got an idea.

What?

You take cover on the far side of the Humvee. I'm going to walk over to it.

not a plan. It's Afghan roulette.

Well, I'm not going to stand here like a statue forever when there's probably

nothing between me and that Humvee but dirt. Well, what's the rush? We can't

drive anywhere on the rims.

This first step is the hardest.

Harm, don't.

Did you hear that?

Uh -huh.

Boy, are you lucky.

Why, I didn't just step on a mine? No, you're standing on a mine. It's just not

pressure detonated like the others. It's probably a Soviet butterfly mine.

So what does that mean? It won't detonate until I take my foot off it?

Right. So how does that make me lucky?

Well, you're still alive, aren't you? Yeah, so long as I don't move my foot, I

am.

Okay, well, come up with something.

You figure they mind that slope?

Probably not. It's too steep.

Good. You go up there.

On the far side of the big mountain is base camp.

Bring back help.

I wouldn't get there till morning, and you're not going to stand here all night

in the freezing cold. What other choice do I have?

Well, something better than that. There is nothing better than that. Now go. No.

I'm not leaving.

We replaced your weight.

Or something heavy like the ammo box.

The ammo box doesn't weigh anything near what I do. It doesn't have to.

It just has to be heavy enough to delay the mine until you can get to the other

side of the Humvee.

Okay, now what? It's too heavy for you to hand it to me.

Matt!

You could have killed us both.

Yeah, but I didn't.

I'm going to put my weight on the ammo box.

I'll slide it forward, you slide your foot back, okay?

Okay, I got it. Take cover.

You take cover.

What?

Why do you have to be so damn macho?

Look, can I get over the Humvee faster from up here than you can from down

there? Can I?

Probably. I'm not being macho. I'm just being practical.

You know, sometimes you can be infuriating.

I know.

Go.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Mine, you?

Yeah.

Thanks,

Mac.

That's a gut.

You would have done the same for me.

Yeah, well, the Navy doesn't teach us tricks like that.

Well, neither does the Marine Corps.

I saw it in a movie.

You saw it in a movie?

Yep.

They don't use real booby traps in movies.

Come on.

They make things up.

Mac!

Yes, sir.

Of course.

I understand.

I made the best argument I could.

I tell you, dude, sir.

The correct response is, thanks for the effort.

How long have you known her?

Five months.

I met a woman in Guatemala at the height of the Civil War.

She was a folk singer.

Used to serenade me with the saddest songs I'd ever heard.

And what happened to her, sir?

Classified.

You didn't really expect them to say yes, did you?

Would you commit ground personnel to liberate an Afghan woman traveling with

known terrorist?

She's a captive, sir.

Prove it.

What now, sir?

We wait till it's over.

Look.

Let's make our way up this slope to that Rachel camp there for the night. It's

better than risking tripping a mine trying to get back to the road.

In the morning, we'll look for a safe way out.

Yeah, we can both use the rest.

All right.

Central Command has approved the target.

It's our ball. I need to know if we're legal. When do we begin, Skipper? How

fast can you talk? I'm ready, sir. I've already got four Hornets on strike

alert. Each is carrying 2 ,000 -pound laser -guided weapons.

What about the target area, sir? We've got eight buildings and four trucks

scattered over a three -mile stretch.

All confirmed Al -Qaeda.

Switch me to spotter team freak.

Aye, aye, sir.

This is Seahawk Jag.

Roger, Seahawk. This is Boomerang Ground.

Boomerang, have you positively ID'd the target?

I've double -checked the GPS coordinates, Seahawk. Any questionable

inside the blast radius?

Negative, Seahawk.

Any indication of personnel in the area?

We have four trucks in front of the main entrance.

One's got the motor running.

What's your recommendation?

I recommend that you prosecute the target, sir.

Boomerang lead, you're cleared in hot.

Roger, Skipper.

You know, if you want, I could call down to the front desk and ask them to send

up a room divider.

I thought you'd want your own space.

How much more space do I need, Mac?

Fine.

You know, Mac, the temperature's going to continue to drop, so if we don't

body heat, we're risking hypothermia.

You make it sound so inviting.

You want an invitation?

Yes.

Why don't you come over here? It's a little bit better than sleeping with

scorpions.

Not many places left in the U .S. where you can hear absolutely nothing.

Where's that coming from?

I found my way to see you.

The look on your face must be bad news.

Sir? What is it, Lieutenant?

A report from Afghanistan.

Commander Adam and Colonel McKenzie are unaccounted for.

Missing? Yes, sir. They were conducting an investigation on their own and lost

contact with base camp.

How long?

Hours, sir.

Their search party's been sent to look for them.

Keep me informed you have my recall number.

Aye, aye, sir.

Hey, Officer Tyner. Yes, ma 'am. You've worked a lot with Commander Rav and

Colonel McKenzie. I thought you might want to know. They're missing in

Afghanistan.

My God.

Yeah. Gone a long time, too.

That's terrible.

Isn't it?

Have you no shame?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I'm talking about you gloating about my friend's misfortune and coveting their

offices. You never said anything of the kind. No, you wouldn't, you little

coward. I'm not a coward. No?

How about you and I forget that we're lieutenants for five minutes?

Just you and me.

And then what?

Excuse

me,

Lieutenant. You all right, ma 'am?

Perfect.

Commander, Colonel, good to see you. Good to see you, Corporal. Have a seat.

Thilo found your Humvee this morning. Thought you guys might be captured or

worse. We're fine.

Corbin!

If you don't mind, ma 'am, I'd like to confirm.

We can't provide you with a shower, but wash up these cuffs and put an

antiseptic on them. That'd be a waste of good water, Corporal. Please, sir.

Humor me.

Lieutenant,

I thought you'd like to know that Rab and McKenzie have been located safe and

sound.

That's great news, sir.

Lieutenant, what happened to your face?

I believe the proper response is I walked into a door.

Would you like to make a more formal response?

Yes, sir. I most definitely will respond, but not in any way that would

the Admiral's attention.

Kiran? Hi, sir.

What were they doing in a hot zone, sir?

I don't know, petty officer. The admiral stopped asking the commander questions

once he got to the part about the goat.

They hurt, sir?

Blooded a bit by debris.

Where are they now, sir?

At the strike site with Commander Coulter. He's a forensic pathologist

been assigned to ID the casualties.

You're lucky, Lieutenant.

I can't argue with that.

Although the prisoner was more off his guard with Lieutenant Roberts than he

with you, sir.

I've been at this 13 years, Petty Officer.

With his one exception, I've never seen a prisoner give over information without

being tricked or coerced. Maybe that's because you never stuck around long

enough to see it happen.

I apologize, Petty Officer, sir.

That was not called for.

You're missing an important principle here.

19 of them were able to murder almost 3 ,000 of us because they refused to play

fair.

Make no mistake about it.

They'll be a threat to our way of life as long as we give them that advantage.

You have a safe passage.

Why do you apologize for me, sir?

I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. It's just that I didn't feel like you quit.

He just went on to the next prisoner.

I felt he needed a break.

He didn't give you one, sir.

Don't think I needed one.

Have you ever met anyone like yourself, Lieutenant?

Don't think so.

Well, if you do and he's single, will you let me know?

Any sign of Kabir?

How about Parisa?

Thanks, Parker.

All structures were hit.

Three vehicles destroyed. They count 12 bodies so far, at least those that are

intact.

Any word on Kabir or Parisa?

Not yet. Sir, ma 'am, are you all right?

What about us, Kenny? Do what you got to do, Gunn. Yes, sir.

What'd you do, take Kabir on yourself?

They look like it. We got caught in the strike.

I'll save you the embarrassment by not asking how.

Max, come on.

Commander? Lieutenant Commander Teresa Colter, Clayton Webb, CIA.

He's doing our forensics.

Can you brighten my day, Commander?

A yes and no.

This was attached to a male finger found in the rubble in Building 6.

Kabir's name is inscribed inside.

You're saying we got it? I still have a battery of DNA tests around, but it is

the most definitive indication yet.

Can you see it?

Wait, there's more written here.

It's a gift.

It says, Blessed Eternity.

followed by another name osama bin laden correct what's the bad news three of

the bodies found indicate signs of radiation poisoning the wreckage of

two is also hot but no materials have been found maybe they were building

something or transporting it any of the vehicles radioactive no well that would

mean it's gone well i understand there is a truck missing some al -qaeda are

believed to have slipped away during the attack

We just pulled her either from the wreckage or building six.

Talk to me first, Gunny. I'm on my way, Corso. Just take a minute.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

She's dead.

Oh, I... It just happened. I'm sorry.

Was she ever conscious?

I have her story.

Well, let's hear it, Corporal.

Let's do it.

Teresa said that she tried to warn the residents this day and the night of the

attack on Kabir.

At the first hut, she came across Kabir and two men. They were claiming to be

local militia.

He told the family that the village was about to be bombed and they had to flee

the same direction that he was going.

Smart bastard. Teresa tried to explain who Kabir was and that he was setting

them up just so he could escape.

She even told him that the reason he picked him was because they had the same

color truck.

Why didn't they believe her? Tavira told him she was CIA and that she was

working with a rival tribe that had been threatening the village for decades.

Did you say why she was with him?

He forced her.

He figured that it was less likely to be spotted if he was off of a couple.

Thanks.

What?

The song lyric.

It means our love is the child of a cruel father.

Hey,

you okay?

Yes, ma 'am.

I'm just thinking what it must have been like for Kabir while Clarissa was with

him.

Not the other way around.

She was a pistol, sir.

There wasn't anything she wasn't passionate about, especially the state

country.

She must have chewed a hole in his eardrums with her diatribes.

The irony is she wasn't in love with me.

One way street.

That makes me look like a fool.

Not in my book.

Listen, Gunny, this may come as little consolation, but you will be cleared in

our report.

You had no way of knowing. Thank you, sir.

And you deserve better from us than our skepticism.

I was never offended, man.

What goes on in this part of the world is a lot bigger than me.

The important thing is we got our man.

Unfortunately, I've been unable to locate any other body parts that match

DNA from the finger we've confirmed as Kabir's. Could the rest of them have

incinerated? Even in there would have been bones, teeth, something.

How do you account for the finger?

Well, the tissue was charred, which obscured how it was removed.

On closer inspection, I realized it had been severed, not torn off as you'd

expect in an explosion.

Like with a knife?

Yeah. Why?

Put us off the scent. Make us think he was dead.

Cut off his own finger?

That's not very...

What kind of a man would do that? The kind of man who'd fly a passenger plane

into a building, man.

Given Kabir's profile, it makes sense.

Yeah, most likely he slipped away with the others then. Which means that not

only is he still alive, but so is his plan.
