All language subtitles for JAG S08E17 Empty Quiver

I might count. You got 12 Tomahawk
cruise missiles.

Six Mark 48 Mark 4 torpedoes.

One Mark 48 ADCAP torpedo in the racks.

Two in the tubes.

22 in all, Chief.

Negative, Petty Officer. It's 21.

I'm sure we brought 22 on board, sir.

19 in the racks and two in the tubes.
That's 21.

Somebody must have hung the wrong tag,
Chief.

That somebody's going to be a very
unhappy sailor, Petty Officer.

Now the officer will open up tube number
two and show me my fish. Aye, aye,

Chief.

Negative.

Chief, tube number two is empty.

Attention on deck.

Stand at ease, gentlemen.

What's the problem, Chief?

According to the ship's log, we took on
22 fish in an offensive area.

That's correct.

My count just came back 21, sir.

Serial number on the counter floor?

3 -0 -0 -5 -0 -1, sir.

Sir, what are we missing?

3 -0 -0 -5 -0 -1.

Carries a 10 kiloton nuclear warhead.

Excuse me, Commander.

Colonel McKenzie would like to see you
ASAP, sir.

Good morning to you too, Petty Officer.
Do you have time for coffee?

Better let me get it for you, sir.

How do you take it?

Regular.

Yes, sir. Understood.

Commander Turner just walked into my
office.

Rather, your office, sir.

Will do, Admiral.

Goodbye.

Good morning, Colonel.

How's the Admiral feeling?

Oh, like he punched out of an F -14 by
accident?

His back must be killing it.

Yeah, but he won't admit it. He keeps
threatening to come in and to hell with

the doctors.

I'm sure he has every confidence in you
as ROIC, Mac.

Excuse me, Colonel.

Here you go, sir.

Cream and sugar. Thank you.

Can I get you anything, ma 'am? No,
thank you, Tyner. Close the door on your

out, please.

Aye, ma 'am.

Sergeants, what I'm about to tell you
is...

I strictly need to know.

Have you ever heard the term empty
quiver?

I believe it refers to the loss of a
nuclear weapon.

A fast attack submarine, the USS
Crawford, cannot account for one of its

ad -cap torpedoes with a 10 kiloton
nuclear warhead.

Oh, my God.

Why is that a mess exactly?

Where is she?

Four hours out of Norfolk, the Crawford
is underway to the Middle East. The USS

Connolly and the rest of the battle
group is leaving tomorrow.

Your presence has been requested on
board the submarine.

Admiral Chegwood has approved it.

May I ask why?

The weapons officer has requested you by
name. Apparently you know him, a

Lieutenant Mitchell.

Stanley Mitchell?

I was XO on his first cruise.

Were you close?

He kept in touch with me. Last I heard,
he was a promotion to Lieutenant

Commander.

Not anymore, if this nuke is really
missing.

Your Honor, my client would have to be
an incredibly stupid man. In order to

commit these crimes, he's been accused
of larceny, fraud.

We're asked to believe he requisitioned
items, opened Internet accounts using

his real name, the Navy's official
credit card, and his own e -mail

Why wouldn't he try to conceal his
identity?

Why? Because he didn't do it.

The Navy does not promote stupid people
to highly responsible positions like

that of the dispersing officer aboard an
aircraft carrier.

Lieutenant O'Dell says he was framed.

I believe him, Your Honor.

And I believe the hearing officer in
this case should give him the benefit of

the doubt and recommend against court
-martial until a thorough investigation

this matter be concluded.

Thank you, Commander.

Lieutenant.

Your Honor, Lieutenant O'Dell is not
here today charged with stupidity, but

rather violating Articles 121, 132, 133
of the UCMJ.

There's clear evidence of larceny and
fraud.

Commander Rabb asked this court grant
the lieutenant the benefit of the doubt.

Where's the doubt, Your Honor?

I have a full docket today.

This hearing stands adjourned until
1500.

Commander Rabb, if you have exculpatory
evidence to present, I suggest you be

prepared to do so at that time.

Adjourned.

There's no way, Harm.

You can't get to Norfolk, conduct an
investigation, and be back here by 1500.

I think I can.

How? Are you going to fly?

Why this rush to court -martial, anyway?

I mean, Lieutenant O'Dell is under pre
-trial confinement. He's given me some

leads. I'd like the opportunity to
follow them up. I can't approve it.

You mind telling me why?

Yes, I do.

Now, if you'll excuse me, Admiral
Chegwooden keeps calling every 15

the next time he does, I'd like to be
able to tell him that something's

been accomplished.

So you're ordering me not to go?

Is that necessary?

Leaving, Commander?

Hey, nice working there today, bud.

I don't know whether to say thank you or
I'm sorry, sir.

Where are you headed?

Norfolk. But I'll be back.

The torpedoes come from the depot on
Flatbed for a fish to a load. Tom

different vehicles.

You know the drill commander, don't you?
It's been a while. Sometimes things

change. Not in this man's navy, sir.

The boat's moored here.

We back the truck up to about here.

We use one of these cranes.

And very gently, we pick up the fish one
by one. We put them over the loading

hatch of the submarine.

And other than making sure that the
crane doesn't fall over, we've done our

Excuse me, sir.

The bubbleheads are responsible for the
rest.

Have you left out one part of your job,
Master Chief?

The documentation?

Yes, sir. The documentation.

The weapons office signs a torpedo
record book for each fish. We then

numbers on the manifest, and we both
sign off on it. How many copies of the

manifest? Eight pages, sir.

Please don't ask me where they all go.
My clerk back at the depot handles that.

I'm sorry, sir, if I gave you the
impression that paperwork was not

Now, Master Chief, let's hope this turns
out to be only about paperwork.

Mace is going out of luck, Commander.

They lost this nuke?

It's got to be a mistake in the
paperwork.

Unlikely. The torpedo record book for
the missing fish is on board the sub.

So that's why Mac didn't want me here.

She didn't tell you what was happening?

No. I probably shouldn't be telling you
either.

Why not? It's got nothing to do with me.

I'm only here for a few hours. I've got
to be back in court at 1500.

How do you plan to do that?

I'm going to take the helo out.

Well, not that helo. That's my ride out
to the Crawford.

Catch it when it comes back.

This base is going to lockdown.

Arm threat con delta.

That bird's the last one in.

As soon as I fly away, she's the last
one out.

You're stuck here for the duration,
buddy.

You went to Norfolk anyway?

You didn't order me not to go.

Why would I do that?

I bumped into Turner.

I was going to catch the helo back in
time for the hearing, but he took my

Do you know why?

Yes.

Harm, you are in a ship's load of
trouble now.

Well, you might have told me.

You need to know, Harm.

Well, I guess I needed to know, huh?

So now I'm stuck here in a lockdown.

I can't believe you would pull a stupid
stunt like this.

I don't suppose you could see if Judge
Helfman's in a forgiving mood.

After she finds out you've left your
client in the lurch, dream on.

Unless you can pull off a miracle harm,
your client's headed for a court

-martial.

Commander Turner?

We're approaching the drop site, sir.

Let's get you hooked up.

Copy that.

Ready for descent, Commander?

All set.

At ease, Lieutenant.

Glad to see you, sir.

Likewise. Thank you for coming.

Ordinarily, I'd think any opportunity to
be on a submarine was a good one.

This, however, is an exception.

I'm sure we'll be able to clear up the
mistake now that you're here, sir.

What mistake is that?

With the onshore paperwork, sir. It's
got to be what it is.

You mean this paperwork?

Yes, sir. Obviously, it's wrong.

I'm not so sure it's obvious,
Lieutenant.

This says 22 weapons left the depot,
four of them Mark 48 ad caps, all of

you signed for when they came on board
the ship.

Come on, sir, that's not possible.

There's your signature.

I know I signed it, but one of these
fish never came on board this boat.

So why is the torpedo record book on
board?

Because there was a mistake at the
depot.

The manifest called for four adcaps, so
four torpedo record books came out to

the pier.

Look, sir, this was a rush operation. We
had less than 36 hours to get it

underway. One of those fish never left
the depot in the first place.

If that were the case, wouldn't it still
be at the depot? Yes, sir, it damn sure

should be.

It's not.

Then I can't explain this, sir, and
neither can my crew.

So you signed the torpedo record book in
error.

I guess so.

I'll take responsibility for that.

That's not going to be good enough.

What am I supposed to do, sir? Fall on
my sword? My crew and I don't make

mistakes. Let's get something clear,
Lieutenant.

This isn't about you. It's about what
happened.

If that torpedo is not on board this
ship, there is a 10 kiloton nuclear

out there somewhere.

Gentlemen, this is Commander Sturgis
Turner.

Chief McDonald, Petty Officer Villegas,
Petty Officer Hubble, Petty Officer

Spencer, Petty Officer Dodd, at ease.

Commander Turner wants to reconstruct
everything down to the smallest detail.

I think it's a good idea, sir. I'll walk
the commander through it. You correct

me, Chief, if I get anything wrong.

Actually, Lieutenant, I intend to go
through it with Chief McDonald first,

with these Petty Officers, one -on -one.

I see, sir. So if the rest of you will
excuse us.

That means you too, Lieutenant?

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Do you need any help, sir?

No, I'm fine.

I'm on my way to the legal office, and
then I need to make my way to

That's my department.

Petty Officer Moran.

Follow me, sir, and I'll show you the
way.

Is that a first time on a carrier, sir?

Not quite.

I see you're an aviator. Sorry I didn't
notice.

You probably spend most of your time up
in officer country.

Attention on deck.

As you were.

What can we do for you, Commander?

Master Chief, Commander Rabb with the
Jack Horn TC.

I'm representing Lieutenant Stephen
O'Dell.

Sir, I think we'd all agree there's
anything we can do to help you or the

lieutenant.

Well, in fact, there is, since I'm going
to be here a while.

I'd like to take a look at the
lieutenant's office if I could.

Sure, that shouldn't be a problem.

Not going to find much, though.

NCIS cleared everything out of the
office when the lieutenant was arrested.

The computer doesn't work.

They took the hard drive.

Well, when does the lieutenant's
replacement arrive, Master Chief?

I'd say sometime before we get underway
tomorrow.

I'm going to leave you to it, sir.

Anything you need.

Thank you. Close the hatch on the way
out, Master Chief.

Aye, sir.

What's going on? You really want to
know?

Harriet's got morning sickness.

Turner's on a submarine. Half the staff
got the flu.

You're not here. And now the Admiral
wants an update every hour on the hour.

How's your day?

Well, I'm sitting in Lieutenant Odell's
office on the Connolly. The lieutenant

claims he was framed with a lot of
trumped -up charges.

Says they can all be traced back to his
office. He's asked me to access the

memory to the fax and copier machines
and see if I can find a clue as to who

might have done it.

Um, I've informed Bud and Commander
Healthman of your problem. Commander

Healthman is very much not pleased.

That's why I'm recommending the
lieutenant waive my presence and allow

hearing to proceed to conclusion.

Do you say you want to do that? What if
the recommendation's a court -martial,

Harm? Well, the convening authority's
here in the base. If I find something,

I'll present it to him and hope that he
doesn't follow the recommendation.

That's taking a big risk, Harm.

What else can I do?

Okay, Chief, according to the ship's
log...

Loading commenced at 0900, and
Lieutenant Mitchell signed off on the

from the weapons depot almost 19 hours
later at 0345 the next morning. That

appears to mean that you and your men
loaded 22 weapons in 19 straight hours

across three watches.

Yes, sir. It was a long day, sir.

Well, isn't it unusual to load all the
ordnance into the torpedo room in one

long shift?

These aren't usual times, Commander.

Understood, but... Working a 19 -hour
shift, is it possible a mistake could

been made?

I can't say that it would be impossible,
sir.

Was a mistake made, Chief?

Not that I'm aware of, sir.

Chief, is it possible for a 10 -kiloton
nuclear device to disappear?

No, sir, that's not possible.

We've got a long day ahead of us, Chief.

A .J., I got everything.

Let me help you put that up.

You will not.

You have better things to do than to
supervise me in the kitchen. You don't

where it all goes.

I will as soon as I put it away.

For you know who.

Your girl?

You

really have

to give her a name.

Nothing's come to me yet.

You just don't like any of my
suggestions, huh? There's nothing

about this dog.

Oh, really?

What about young Cassius, half a lean
and hungry look?

Cassius is a boy's name.

All right.

Call him Portia.

Excuse me, sir.

The new disbursing officers just come on
board.

I'd better get out of here then. All
right. Thank you, Master Chief.

Attention on deck.

Good afternoon, people.

At ease.

Commander. As you were, Lieutenant, I
was just leaving.

Ma 'am?

Not to rush you, ma 'am, but there's
some paperwork here that needs your John

Hancock. Er, Jane Hancock.

Just give me a pen, Petty Officer.

Yes,

ma 'am. Ten million dollars, cash for
the entire bottle.

Okay, let's do it.

Master Chief, may I have a word with you
in private?

Yes, sir.

How's that?

Is this the first thing an officer got
here in the nick of time?

I'd say so, sir.

I would guess that most of what happens
in that office, Master Chief, is handled

by the staff. Is that right?

We know the procedures, sir.

What kind of an officer was Lieutenant
O'Dell?

Was he real hands -on, or did he
delegate authority?

Well, I'd say we had a good working
relationship with Lieutenant O'Dell,

So he let you do your job?

Yes, sir.

Were you surprised when he was arrested?

Permission to speak freely, sir.

Absolutely.

I've been in this job for 25 years.

This isn't the first time a dispersing
officer has gotten in trouble.

It's easy to be tempted, and you heard
how much money comes onto this ship.

And I'm sure we've all thought about it
one time or another.

So you think he's guilty?

I wouldn't have thought so, sir.

Is it sure the lieutenant's going to
court -martial?

Not yet.

Master Chief.

Lieutenant O'Dell, do you understand the
concept of fully informed consent?

By signing the waiver in front of you,
you are giving your fully informed

consent for this hearing to proceed
without the benefit of having your

present. I understand that, ma 'am.

I've spoken with Commander Rabb and he
said it was okay.

Lieutenant Roberts, are you prepared to
proceed?

Yes, Your Honor.

May I motion for a continuance?

Lieutenant, please don't try my patience
by acting as both prosecution and

defense.

Sorry, Your Honor.

Lieutenant O'Dell, you may sign the
waiver if you wish.

Yes, ma 'am.

Very well.

Lieutenant O'Dell, it is the
recommendation of this hearing that all

specifications against you be referred
to General Court Martial.

This hearing is adjourned.

Get the Admiral on the line for me,
Tyner.

Good afternoon, Colonel.

Admiral, Lieutenant O'Dell's Article 32
hearing is concluded.

The recommendation is general court
-martial.

I'll send my congratulations to
Lieutenant Roberts.

Rab must be disappointed.

I'm sure he is, sir.

What did he have to say afterwards?

Nothing that I heard, sir.

Well, if he's there, let me speak to
him.

You know, I don't think I can get him on
the phone with you right now, Admiral.

Well, never mind.

What's the situation at Norfolk?

Still in lockdown.

Nothing's leaving the base. Vehicles and
buildings are being checked as a

precaution, but there's no indication
the missing weapon is there.

Commander Turner?

He's called in, sir. He's reconstructing
what happened on the USS Crawford with

the torpedo room crew. He says it may
take all night.

Oh, understood.

Let me know if anything happens.

Aye, aye, sir.

Come here, Portia.

Portia?

Okay, Petty Officer Villegas, walk me
through it from the beginning.

It's 0900.

The torpedo room is empty. The first
fish comes down.

Yes, sir. Down through the hatch.

We got it in and down, and then we
secure it to one of the Senate kids.

Mark 48, Mach 4. We're good.

All clear, Keith.

Then we transfer it onto a port or
starboard skid.

Then what do you do with it?

Ready, Chief.

We stow it in a torpedo tube, sir.

We stow the first four fish in the tube
to free up the skid. Makes it easier for

us to arrange the weapons the way the
skipper wants them.

At this point, the trailing guidance
wire is not attached.

That's correct, sir. The fish is simply
resting in the tube. Yes, sir.

And you hang a tag that says... War shot
loaded, sir. So we'll know.

If the guidance wire is not attached,
the weapon does not register on the fire

control system?

It does not, sir.

So as of that moment, the only men on
this boat who know there's a torpedo in

the torpedo tube are the three of you
who are here in the torpedo room.

That's affirmative, sir.

Petty Officer Marin, you shut down early
today?

Yes, sir.

Cash for the battle groups coming aboard
at 1800.

You mind if I ask you a couple questions
about those procedures?

Ask away, sir.

I was in my office down the passageway,
and I came across these.

Now, this is a fax to the Federal
Reserve Bank in D .C. requesting

$10 million.

That's not all it takes to get that
money. It's in a fax. No, sir.

That's just to get the process started.

Someone has to go in person to the bank.

And this is Lieutenant O'Dell's
signature?

Yes, sir. He was still disbursing
officer at the time.

But Lieutenant O'Dell couldn't go to the
bank, so I went to requisition the

funds. And why you?

Us chief didn't want to go, sir.

Hmm.

Uh, this, this is a fax to the Yarmouth
car company requesting delivery of those

funds. Is that, uh...

Is that all it takes to get that done, a
fax?

What, to get the armored car?

Yes, sir. It takes a fax and a purchase
order number.

But is there anything else, sir? Because
I've got a lot to do to get ready.

This would have all been pretty routine
for Lieutenant O'Dell, is that right?

Could have done in his sleep, sir, just
like the rest of us.

All right.

Well, you can return to business.

I have one last question.

Say you're Lieutenant O'Dell.

You have a promising career in the Navy.
You've been dealing with millions of

dollars routinely.

Would you throw it all away to embezzle
a few thousand dollars?

I wouldn't know about that, sir.

Now, with your permission, I'd like to
get back to work.

Sure.

Okay.

Wild turkey?

On the rock.

Do

you

think it's awkward when two people are
in a room together and no one says

anything?

No. Hmm.

I guess I do.

Sometimes I think I talk too much.

I don't like it when you talk too much.

No.

Hutton.

What?

A name for the dog.

Hutton, I looked it up today on the
Internet, and it means from the house on

jutting ledge.

Appropriate. Mm -hmm.

Come here, Hutton.

Okay, maybe not.

You know, A .J., I was thinking that
maybe I could sleep over tonight.

Sounds a little bit like conduct
unbecoming.

Oh, honey, I think you need to retire.

Petty Officer Spencer,

there's an entry by you in the log at
1900, ten hours after loading started.

Yes, sir. Petty Officer Dodd and I
relieved Petty Officer's viegas novel.

The loading continued.

Yes, sir.

We loaded for over 19 hours without a
pause, sir.

All right.

You're out of here, man.

All right, then. Our turn in the barrel.

Later.

Hey, go ahead, sir.

And did you get that right time, Petty
Officer?

Tried to, sir.

But it's hard to sleep when you know
you're about to get underway and all the

work hasn't been done.

So you didn't sleep?

No, sir.

Were you tired?

I wasn't doing any of the heavy lifting,
sir.

Answer my question, please, Chief.

I was tired, but I wasn't sleepy, sir.

Was there any time you weren't
physically present in this room during

I stepped out to the head a couple of
times and we staggered our brakes for

chow, sir.

Any other time?

When we went offshore power, sir.

What time was that? Is it in the log?

Yes, sir. Zero one hundred, sir.

While Petty Officer Spencer and Dodd
were on watch?

Yes, sir.

Mr. Chief.

Commander. You're still with us.

Yeah, do me a favor. Remind me to get
off before you sail, huh?

Yes, sir.

Is, uh, is any Officer Marin here?

Uh, no. I secured him, sir.

Something I can help you with.

Yeah, maybe there is.

Take a look at these.

D, D, here.

Two letters.

To the armored car company. Same date.

Requesting delivery.

This one at 1800.

This at 1700.

1800 it is, sir.

This is wrong.

Well, that's the funny thing, Vic.

This came from the fax machine.

This came from the copier.

I don't understand, sir.

How did you get these?

I printed them from the memory of the
machines from Lieutenant O'Dell's

But these aren't the only ones.

Several nearly identical letters.

All from the copier and the fax machine
in that office.

Sir, what do these have to do with
defending Lieutenant O'Dell against the

charges? These have nothing to do with
Lieutenant O'Dell. They were printed and

sent after the lieutenant was arrested,
though his signature is the bottom of

both of these.

Different dates, names, signatures on
the same documents.

Something is seriously wrong here,
Commander.

Who'd be in a position to do something
like this, Master Chief?

Petty Officer Moran, that's about it,
but why?

Now, having seen this, would you say
it's possible Lieutenant Odell's being

framed? Oh, there's no question about
it. It's very possible.

Well, then we'd better find Petty
Officer Moran ASAP.

Here you are.

All right.

Modification of orders.

Okay.

Where do you want the armored truck to
go, Lieutenant Odell?

Right over there where I'm parked.

You got it.

Okay, pull it right side of the
barricade. We're in lockdown.

I'm late.

I got paperwork here that says this
money's supposed to go right to the

Now, you've got paperwork that says
different. The base is in lockdown.

Once you go in, you don't go out again.
Oh, hell, that's no good.

I got three more drops to make. That's
what I figured.

Put the money in my van, I'll take you
to the ship, and you're free to go.

Much obliged, Lieutenant.

I appreciate the courtesy.

Thank you.

We're going to unload here into the van.
You got it.

Reloading here.

Okay.

There you go.

This is the last of it.

I don't know what you want me to do with
this information about Petty Officer

Marin, Commander. I just got here today.

It's your department now, Lieutenant.

I suggest you inform your division
officer there are serious discrepancies

breaches of procedure.

That's a good suggestion, sir. I'll do
that.

I'd do it sooner than later.

You don't mean now, do you? I have a
cash delivery of $10 million coming on

pier in less than 15 minutes.

It's up to you, Lieutenant.

Master Chief.

Sir. The Marine is nowhere on board the
colony. He's not aboard ship or you

can't find him? I don't know, sir.

Excuse me, Lieutenant. We have clearance
at the point gate.

Armor car through the gate and clear
security, Master Chief.

We're here for a pickup.

Pickup? Where's the money?

It's empty, Master Chief.

I can see that, ma 'am.

This order's for a pickup.

Who authorized this?

You did, ma 'am.

None of this makes any sense.

Maybe it does.

Petty Officer Marin is missing.

We know there's paperwork requesting two
armored cars. One for $1 ,700, one for

$1 ,800. Now, we thought one was a
correction.

What if it wasn't?

What if two were ordered?

A 1700 delivery and an 1800 pickup?

Check with the gate, Lieutenant.

If Petty Officer Marin intercepted the
1700 delivery, he bought himself an hour

to make off with $10 million.

I'll check with the gate, sir.

I'll get my hands on that son of a
bitch.

He must have been putting this plan
together for some time.

We got rid of Lieutenant O'Dell.

to take advantage of a new dispersing
officer.

Yeah, but he couldn't have factored in
the lockdown into his escape, sir.

So how does he get off the base?

Water.

in the air.

Don't move!

Gentlemen, we're going to go through it
again by the numbers.

At 0 -345, load -in is completed.

At 0 -420, according to this log, water
slugs are fired through all four tubes

to clear them. Now, what happened
between 0 -345 and 0 -420?

We waited for Lieutenant Mitchell to
come down from topside, sir. And during

that time...

He loaded the fish out of the tubes and
onto the skids. So who was in the

torpedo room when you fired the water
slugs?

Lieutenant, myself, Viegas, and Hubble.

Fire number one.

Fire number one, aye.

And when all four water slugs had been
fired, you then stowed two Mark 48 ad

caps into tubes number three and four.

Yes, sir.

That doesn't make any sense. You had to
move all four torpedoes out of the tubes

to fire the water slugs.

Not four, sir, three.

I beg your pardon?

There were only three war shots in the
tubes at that point, sir. Tube number

four was empty.

You said that you stowed the first four
fish that came on board in the tubes.

Yes, sir. So what made you think tube
number four was empty after loading?

The tag said it was, sir. Did you or
Petty Officer Hubble take the torpedo

of tube number four? No, sir. We just
assumed... Petty Officer Spencer, did

or Petty Officer Dodd unstow the torpedo
from tube number four?

No, sir.

I just remembered something, sir.

When we went off shore power, the boat
was blacked out for a few seconds.

And I noticed the tag had come off tube
number four, so I put it back.

Come on, man. Let's go.

I must have put it back wrong.

You were out of the room at that time,
right, Chief?

Yes, sir.

You didn't notice the mistake?

No, sir.

It must have been in the tube when we
fired the water slug, sir.

Fire number four. Firing four, aye.

If 300501 was in the tube when you fired
the slug, Chief, where is it now?

I'd say it's about five fathoms below
the pier at Norfolk, sir.

Chief, maybe you and your crew could
give us a minute of privacy.

All right, sir.

How

many hours

did you go without sleep during this,
Lieutenant?

36?

48?

Something like that.

We're all human.

How'd it feel, sir?

Knowing that you'd never serve on a
submarine again.

And that's all it was. The torpedo got
shoved out in the water.

Well, they haven't found it yet, sir,
but that seems to be the explanation.

Nobody checked the tube before they
fired the water slugs.

Charges? I don't think it can be
avoided, sir.

Weapons TPO bears direct responsibility.

Next is the weapons officer, and the
skipper's career may not survive either.

Good men, very bad mistake.

Nice job, Commander.

Thank you, sir.

Get out of my chair, damn it!

Come here, damn it.

I knew it'd come to me.

You know what's funny about all

this?

No, but I bet you're about to enlighten
me.

Well, it was a fortunate mishap.

If the nuke hadn't gone missing, the
base wouldn't have been in lockdown.

The Navy would be out $10 million right
now.

Interesting hypothesis.

But I'm not sure the Navy would agree.

Lieutenant O'Dell, the charges against
you have been dropped, thanks to the

efforts of Commander Rapp.

Thank you, ma 'am.

Thank you, sir.

I knew I could trust you.

I just got lucky, I guess.

You know, if you hurry, you can get back
to Norfolk before the colony gets

underway. It seems your replacement has
a replacement.

You.

Dismissed. Aye, aye, ma 'am.

Sir.

Lucky, huh?

You just saved the taxpayers $10
million.

Well, somebody had to do it.

Good morning, Admiral.

As you were, Tyner.

Keep your state colonel morning,
Commander.

Sir.

I was just finicking tidying up your
desk, sir.

No, no, no. This is just a visit. You're
still in charge.

Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Excuse me, Admiral.

There's a dog in the office.

No, no. She's mine. Come here, dammit.

Sit down, dammit.

You named the dog dammit, sir?

Well, the name kind of found itself.

Dammit?

Good morning.
