Second floor, go!
Don't shoot.
Don't make me.
You want to show me your green card, pal?
My ID's in my left coat pocket.
I'm Lieutenant Bauhin, United States Marine Corps.
Semper Fi, Lieutenant.
You're under arrest.
Last night, the INS raided a warehouse in Baltimore.
The building was vacant, except for the teenage girl sewing.
A sweatshop was uncovered.
Third one last month.
Sixteen undocumented aliens from Vietnam were detained, along with one Marine
Lieutenant, Bao Hien.
INS doesn't figure him as a ringleader, so they kicked him back to us for an
investigation in possible people smuggling.
Lieutenant Kinn was a decorated aviator.
He was a helicopter crew chief and a gunner in the Gulf War. He completed the
enlisted commissioning program and went to flight school and flew humanitarian
missions as a pilot in Somalia. Not to mention being a Marine Corps poacher boy
for pulling yourself up by the bootstraps.
Lieutenant Kinn was on one of the last helos out of Saigon in 75.
He started his life in America as a child refugee.
Inspired to become a Marine by the Marines who rescued him. What does the
lieutenant say he was doing in that warehouse, sir?
Looking for something to steal.
Maybe choosing the lesser of two evils. Commercial burglary carries a lot of
penalty than people smuggling. You know, a guy like this just doesn't wake up
one day and decide to be a criminal. What he's already admitted to is an
130 violation and conduct unbecoming.
Obviously, the Marines are watching this closely. That's why I want both of you
on it.
Lieutenant Yin stationed in Pax River.
He's a grounded pending outcome.
And take Petty Officer Coach with you. I want her to get some field experience.
That'll be all.
Didgeridoo. Oh, and let's get to the bottom of this quickly.
With Mac on the bench, we're kind of short of lawyers around here.
Understood.
Dinner!
Excuse me, Admiral.
Stack Nat is here, sir.
Gentlemen, good to see you.
I want to thank you for your fine work in the friendly fire case.
And yours and that empty quiver matter. Thank you, commanders.
Thank you, sir, for doing this.
Admiral. Secretary.
I came here myself because I wanted to make sure that you didn't read about
in some memo and draw the wrong conclusions.
Read what, sir? Well, this business with you ejecting out of an F -14.
The Washington Post wants to know what a two -star admiral is doing tooling
around the friendly skies with a lawyer at the helm.
This kind of thing gives Chinfo a bad rash.
Commander Rav had taken me up to demonstrate a flaw on the heads -up
the plane. It was Jack Businesser. I assumed that there was a good
and it won't take long to clear the matter.
And beyond that, there's just some housekeeping that bears examination.
So, you want to send an investigator?
Just to pacify the powers that be.
I have full confidence in your ability.
To stand up to scrutiny, AJ.
Prints from several of the girls we have in custody were matched with this
container. I've seen these babies with plumbing, air conditioning.
Sounds like a real pleasure cruise.
What are we supposed to do? Give out tickets at the border? Free show,
room only. Have you found anything to directly tie Lieutenant Kim to these
crates? Not yet. We're still combing the warehouse.
We figured the lieutenant was just there picking up his percentage of the
profits.
He arrested the lieutenant based solely on the fact that he was there that
night. There was no evidence in the payoff.
He walks like a duck.
Hardly a legal argument.
Well, I'm hardly a lawyer.
That's why I gave the lieutenant to you.
The fact is, commanders, there's nothing worth stealing in that warehouse.
Your lieutenant's either a bad thief or a good liar.
You've noticed nothing suspicious, Mr. Shannon. Nothing to suggest your husband
was involved in the smuggling of foreign nationals.
No, nothing.
You know, he's admitted to breaking an entry.
And I can't explain to that.
It's just not like Bao. Not at all.
How long have you been married?
For over one year.
Mrs. Yin, has your husband ever lied to you?
If my husband lied to me, Commander, I'd never find out about it.
I thought Navy here was to help my husband.
You two sound like you're out for some blood.
We're just trying to discover the truth, Mrs. Yen.
I am done.
For now.
Thank you.
Enter.
Excuse me, Admiral. You have a visitor, sir, from the tech nav's office.
Send him in.
Do you know who the tech nav sent, sir?
Just send him in, Tyler.
Aye, sir.
Commander? Admiral?
Commander Lindsey.
That'll be all, Tyner. Aye, sir.
Wasn't told that you'd be conducting our audit.
Well, who better, sir? I mean, I have spent some time here at JAG.
Well, let's get to it.
What specifically are the complaints against our office?
Misallocation of personnel.
Lawyers traveling as tour groups when one would do.
Sleight of hand with T .A .D. requests.
Misappropriation of government property.
Misappropriation? A recent example, Commander Rabb's commandeering of a
in the George Washington National Forest.
He was assisting search and rescue.
A search for and rescue of you, sir. Making disciplining him difficult.
By the way, how's your back?
Fine, thank you.
Do what you have to do. You can use the conference room.
Just steer clear of all JAG business, Commander.
Aye, aye, sir.
Uh, sir.
I don't want you to worry about that business with the promotion board you
headed. Passing me over for captain?
This is Blancoy 15.
Lee Trong, 14.
Ask them who brought them here.
Was it this man?
They want to know
if they will be deported.
To no probability, yes.
Then We not have reason to tell You tell them that I wish there was a way for
them to stay here Please make it wait
Then we tell
Lieutenant Ian
I'm Commander Rabb. I'm with the JAG Corps.
Commander, you're an aviator. Well, not today, Lieutenant.
I guess that's me, too.
Grounded as 8th officer until further notified.
Take a walk, Lieutenant.
Okay.
I've read your service record.
Impressive. You received an air medal as a door gunner in the Gulf War.
Yes, sir.
You held off enemy ground fire while you were... Hilo rescued the survivors of a
downed Black Hawk.
Those men were going to get picked off one by one, sir.
We didn't see any option to our actions.
You got your wings, you received an aerial achievement citation, and a
Heart, all on your first combat mission.
Chevanesha, sir.
Transporting civilian wounded.
Took shrapnel and you kept flying, Lieutenant.
You were a brave man.
Not to mention your rapid rise through the enlisted ranks.
You got your commission and now you're a lieutenant.
And it's certainly a record to be proud of. I'm proud to be a Marine, sir.
Well, let me ask you this, Lieutenant.
Since you've waived your Article 31 rights, why the hell would you
such an exemplary career to break into a warehouse?
I don't know how to say it in a way that you
could understand, Commander.
Lieutenant, I want to believe there's an explanation for what happened that
night. Why, Commander?
Why do you want to believe that I'm anything but a thief?
I guess I want to believe, Lieutenant, that your life experience has made a
difference.
April 29th, 1975.
Fall of Saigon.
I was four years old.
My mother was a secretary at the embassy.
The sound of the heels of our heads were as steady as a heartbeat.
Marine guards were shouting.
I didn't even understand English at that time, but I knew what they were saying
was bad.
We weren't safe.
I was fortunate.
Others weren't so lucky, Commander.
That's why I had to do something.
So you didn't break into the warehouse to steal something?
Not to steal anything, sir.
To save something that was already stolen.
I thought I could just get them out of there.
Why didn't you tell all this to the INS?
Because I didn't think they'd believe me, sir.
Well, why should I believe you?
I'm guilty either way, Commander.
And I respect leniency.
The guy should be getting a medal for trying to free those girls not facing a
corps marshal.
The lieutenant's record speaks for itself. He's based his career on coming
the aid of people in need.
The lieutenant acted with blatant disregard for the law.
and then lied to the authorities about it. You don't have enough to recommend
court -martial based on a people -smuggling charge. And you don't have
recommend against one.
But Petty Officer Coates is pulling invoices from the cargo company.
Let's find out who paid for the containers and brought the girls in, and
can decide.
What is your stake in sending this thing to court -martial anyway? I don't have
one. No personal feelings at all.
Something about this guy has touched you.
So, you want off this case, Commander?
No, no.
Sir, I was just wondering why you gave it to me.
Do you mean that I consider Lieutenant Yen's experience in Vietnam before I got
you involved?
Yes, I did.
I just want to believe it doesn't make a difference to me, sir.
And now it does?
I don't know, Admiral. The case seems black and white to me. But then it does
Commander Turner, too.
Well, do the best you can.
Yes, sir.
How'd your meeting with SecNav go?
Well, Commander, we're being audited.
And the investigator you sent to do the job doesn't like me.
Well, I find that hard to believe, sir.
It's Lindsay.
Commander Lindsay?
Lieutenant.
Lieutenant. Please, let me get that for you.
There you go. Thank you, Commander.
It's been a long time.
Christmas last year, I believe.
How's Lieutenant Sims?
She's great, sir.
How is your family?
Lieutenant, I have found that one's family can be of great comfort during
of career disappointment.
I was very sorry to hear of your injury, but you look as fit for duty as ever.
As fit as ever, sir?
Oh, I bet the Seahawk misses you.
You've turned out to be quite a lawyer, Lieutenant.
Thank you, sir.
Seahawk has competent legal counsel, I can assure you.
Lieutenant Finger, isn't it?
No, sir, not anymore. She became physically unable to server board ships,
Well, not another landmine, I hope.
No, nothing like that, sir.
Lieutenant Sims.
Nice lady.
I've always thought so, sir. I just wonder how the Inspector General manages
without her.
Sir? Admiral Chedwiggan has permanently, temporarily assigned her to this office
indefinitely.
Is there a problem with that, sir?
Only that it stretches the definition of temporary additional duty.
That'll be all.
Still waiting for manifest from the cargo company.
And these days in dummy corporations and credit card fraud, we don't consider
that reliable evidence.
UCMJ gives us slightly more latitude on that subject.
Tell me, what do you know about this Lieutenant Hinn that we don't?
Well, the prelim background check came back clean as a whistle. He's a Boy
Scout.
Did meet his wife in a mail order service.
Sunshine Brides, right here in Baltimore.
How do you think a Marine pilot would be fighting him off?
You want to run me up a copy of your file on the Hinn?
Yeah, happen tomorrow.
So how long before you all wrap up shop here?
Well, there's no end in sight.
Unfortunately, we can't get a handle on who's responsible for this mess and how
they're covering their tracks.
Look, don't get me wrong. I'm not anti -immigration.
I'm anti -illegal immigration.
That makes two of us. My grandparents got out of Poland one step ahead of the
SS. Thank God they had someplace to go.
What's your deal?
People come over on the Mayflower?
About a year prior to that, actually.
Jamestown colony. They were indentured servants.
My mother's side came later.
During the height of slavery, suffice it to say.
Under conditions even worse than that packing crate over there.
Yeah, you probably got the same speech I did.
American first, minority second.
I didn't need that lesson.
My face tells a story of who my forefathers were.
The uniform on my back speaks to the level of patriotism I was taught.
I'm trying to find out if that's equally true of Lieutenant Hinn.
Cargo company manifest, Commander.
More of the cargo containers pegged to the alien transports by the INS were
for with Lieutenant Hehan's credit card.
He wasn't trying to free anybody. He put them there himself.
Sturgis. Huh? Right in time.
Seems I'm on my way back to Pax River to prove you right.
Lieutenant Hehan paved some of those containers himself.
Luckily, I'm not one to gloat.
Hey, can you tell me who this Commander Lindsey is? He's left me three messages
today. Oh, Commander Theodore Lindsey.
He was Admiral Brovo's aide when I first came here. He then became Acting JAG
TAD. He moved into the SECNAV's administration. He seems to have warmed
into the new one under Sheffield, and now he's out to get us.
Can't wait to make his acquaintance.
In the interim, I have a little field assignment for you, Petty Officer
one for which you are uniquely qualified.
Thank you, sir.
Can I ask you?
Investigator Jennifer Coates of the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
I'd like to see your records.
This is the dating service, okay?
We find wives for lonely guys.
It's all legal.
Well, I know lots of lonely guys.
They're INS investigators, too. I can have them here in 15 minutes.
Look, I'm just a hired gun here.
Please don't do that.
Okay, okay.
I'll show you the files on the computer.
But I don't want to go back.
If you cooperate, I'll put in a good word for you. Thank you.
Thank you for that.
In the file, call client.
Please hurry.
How do I get online?
It's DSO. You already connected.
Pretty high tech for a business that deals in arranged marriage.
This lady here is your tech support rep from Zelle Computers.
You shouldn't have any more problems with those peripherals.
You ladies have a nice day.
Lieutenant Hinn, you have abused my trust.
I guess I wanted you to be a good guy because I respected your record, but
recent past has erased all that, Lieutenant.
You paid for some of the containers that brought those girls over here.
I have a good reason, Commander.
I don't want to hear it, Lieutenant.
What I do want to hear is who do you work for? Who runs this organization?
People with no names in a post office box.
Commander, you've seen my credit card.
You've seen the bill. You know how much in debt I am over this.
I've never made a profit, I swear to you.
Then why'd you do it?
You remember what I said before about Saigon?
I left something out.
We didn't make it to the rooftop until nearly the end of the evacuation.
There wasn't room for the two of us.
My mother had to make the hardest decision of her life.
I never saw her again.
Once we got out over the city, the master sergeant said to me that I was
I didn't feel free then.
I don't feel free now.
So this is how you're making it up to your mother, serving other mothers'
children up as cheap labor?
Commander, what they left behind is worse.
I've been to Vietnam, Lieutenant.
Oh, not the part where these girls are from, sir.
These girls are orphans. They're cast -offs.
They live in the streets until they owe enough for the brothels.
They wait on lists for years for a better life, sir, a life here in
A life like the one you're throwing away, Lieutenant.
Colonel, let me carry that. Oh, I can handle it, Commander.
Why are you here?
I know what the SECNAV said, but why you?
Apparently the SECNAV has more faith in me than some people.
Ah, you mean the admiral. You so sore about not making captain?
No, not at all. I do find it odd how your career has flourished despite the
tanking scandal.
The, uh, dead husband?
The affair with your CO? How dare you?
I wonder what it is the promotion board sees in you that they don't see in me.
Unless it's a special friend who happens to be an admiral.
I don't like that implication, Lindsay.
No, I don't suppose you do.
Perhaps we could meet later for a drink, Colonel, and work it all out over a
beer. I think we're finished here.
I'm sorry.
You touch me like that again and you will be.
I found out about the Sunshine Bride dating service.
I'm not ashamed of the way I met my husband, Commander.
I'm not asking for your shame, Mrs. Yen. I'm wondering...
What other services the Sunshine Brides might be offering?
Sometimes these bridal services are fronts for immigrant smuggling. They
women in with the promise of husbands, only to place them in the back -breaking
work.
How long ago did you leave Vietnam, Mrs. Hien?
About four years.
Gaging from your proficiency in English, I'm inclined to think you spent that
four years in the U .S.
But you didn't apply for your green card until just last year after you were
married.
What have you been doing for the past four years, Mrs. Yan?
I can tell by your hand, Mrs. Yan, that you've done some hard work in your life.
Maybe in a sweatshop.
If you're a victim of this people -smuggling ring, Mrs. Yan, we can help
You can't help me.
But you can help my husband.
Do you love your husband, Mrs. Hien?
Or are you just grateful for him saving you?
In the beginning, it was gratitude.
I met this man, American and Vietnamese.
A real -life Marine hero, like the one who took my mother out of Saigon after
the fall.
It wasn't hard after that to fall in love with this man.
Without him...
I have nothing.
I am nothing.
Tell them to have a seat.
You can tell them that I'm ready to make
an offer for their testimony.
Hope for the future made the order courtesy of the INS. It's translated in
Vietnamese on the back.
They are illiterate.
Well, ask her if she'll trust us to tell her what's on the page.
You look at me.
Why?
I'm sorry.
You remind me of someone I used to know.
Tell them that they have been recategorized as refugee miners, though
cooperate and answer my questions, it will more than likely have a positive
bearing on their case.
Ask them who met
them at the cargo dock when they arrived. Was it a man in a uniform?
Was it a woman? A Vietnamese woman?
This woman.
Yes.
Top in America.
Petty officer, second class, Jennifer.
You served aboard the Seahawk after the nasty New York court -martial for going
UA from the Gainesville.
I've had a change of heart since then, sir. You were legalman for Lieutenant
Roberts and then Lieutenant Singer.
Commander Rabb and Colonel McKenzie also spent time on the vessel.
Yes, sir. When Lieutenant Roberts was wounded and when Lieutenant Singer was
investigated for refusing to name the father of her child.
I wasn't aware Lieutenant Singer had a child.
She will any day now, sir. She's on a five -month maternity leave. Five
We're shorthanded now as it is.
Please, extend my congratulations to the lieutenant.
Yes, sir.
Now, after Lieutenant Roberts' injury, personnel regs allow for an equivalent
replacement to step in as acting carrier jag.
Yet, not one.
But two O5 lawyers remained on that vessel.
That's a lot of seniority to send in to pinch hit for a lieutenant.
If you say so, sir.
This mess... Aye, aye, sir.
Howdy, stranger.
I was waiting for you to show up.
The case of the infamous Lieutenant Hien.
So what's the rumor mill saying?
That you're chasing your father again.
You know, this isn't really about my father, no matter what people are
When I was 16, I went to Vietnam.
I had heard about this retired colonel. His name was Stryker. He was a
gravedigger, a bone collector. He would go into the jungles of Vietnam and
Laos and look for military crash sites.
He lived with a woman he'd rescued out of Saigon in 75.
She had two daughters.
Does it not a girl harm?
Yeah. Her name was Jim.
She was 14.
I shouldn't have taken her into the jungle with me. I mean, it was my dream
get my father back.
She was killed by Laotian border guards.
And those girls the lieutenant tried to save from the sweatshop remind you of
her?
I guess the lieutenant's efforts to save those girls remind me of what I wish I
could have done for Jim.
You can't turn back the clock, Harm.
For the lieutenant or for yourself.
Agent Roisman, Commander.
Thank you very much for your help with the INS petition. I wouldn't have been
able to talk to the girls without them.
Well, that almost makes me wish I wasn't here to rain on your parade.
The INS finished processing the warehouse scene.
They found something you should see.
Gentlemen, last time I checked, it wasn't primed to possess $5 ,000. Then
did Lieutenant Hinn hide it when he heard us coming?
And the lieutenant's fingerprints were on the envelope this was found in.
There was nothing altruistic about Lieutenant Hinn's involvement in this.
He was getting his cut to the profits.
I believe this new evidence against Lieutenant Hinn is sufficient cause to
recommend a court -martial to the convening authority.
And you've laid to rest any suspicions of Mrs. Hinn?
Lack of evidence, sir. If they are in it together, we can't prove it.
The INS will unravel it eventually, and she'll get hers in the civilian court if
she's got it coming.
Sounds like we're going to an article 32.
Attorney will prosecute, Commander. I assume you'll want to defend.
Aye, sir.
Admiral, I would like to continue the investigation.
It doesn't smell right to me.
If this guy's getting paid on a regular basis, where's the money? He's up to his
eyeballs in debt.
Commander, do you excuse us?
Aye, sir.
Is God still bothering you?
How do you do it, sir?
You were in Vietnam.
You've managed to put it out of your mind.
May I lie?
Commander, that war cast some long shadows.
Proceed with your investigation.
Members are on the right to tell you when it's over.
Aye, sir.
And thank you.
Commander.
I finally found something in the file I emailed from the dating service.
The lieutenant's wife owes them a lot of money.
For what? I wish I knew, sir.
Commander Lindsey.
Sturgis Turner.
Been looking forward to meeting you.
Oh, Commander, I'm sure you've heard a lot about me.
Only what a capable investigator you are.
Thank you.
Commander, you joined this office recently.
What were your first impressions?
To be honest, Commander, I could not believe what I was seeing.
Commander Rabb dumping aircraft?
Colonel McKenzie rerouting an entire sea rescue on a hunch?
It's outrageous.
Rabb and Lieutenant Roberts flying to Australia at the drop of a hat?
Excuse me.
Do you mind if I record this?
Oh, I wish you would.
As you were saying?
I was saying that this group of people has one of the most...
unorthodox interpersonal dynamics of any I've ever worked in, which can be the
only explanation for its exemplary track record.
You like working here.
I trust you're going to add that to your report.
Don't worry, Commander.
Your voice will be heard.
Hello.
Hello.
My partner was in here the other day. You gave her some computer files.
She says she I .N .S., but you Navy.
It's a joint investigation.
Now, miss, I'm willing to believe that you do nothing more here than run the
office. Yes, that's true.
It's a woman. She own it.
She called herself Yan Tu, mother.
I don't even know her real name.
Well, this woman who owns the company, she's going to jail.
So you have a decision to make.
You can choose to cooperate right now, or you can risk being her cellmate.
But I already gave the file.
You need to give more.
For instance, I want to know why a woman who met her husband through here could
wind up owing the company $30 ,000.
The woman from the Aina...
She says she could help me stay in this country. Maybe we can.
Maybe.
I noticed a little while ago, some other women we marry, after the Americans,
they have accounts.
Every once in a while, a bunch of the debt gets taken off the top. You know,
like they pay.
But none of the money come through here.
We don't even have a domestic bank account.
It is all based in Vietnam.
None of this was in the computer files.
She do not trust computer, Linh Thu.
She keep everything in a ledger.
She keep locked up in a safe.
Can you get into the safe?
my card.
Take this.
Call me. We'll see what we can do for you. Take my advice now and leave here.
Got all the files from the dating service printed, sir.
And the reports from the INI.
Nice work, Coach. Do me a favor, would you? Look in the INS report. Give me the
date of the first cargo container they suspected.
September 15th.
September 15th.
Mrs. Yin was credited $2 ,000 by the Sunshine Bride.
The next time they took money off her account was November 19th.
That's a match, sir. The suspected cargo container came in that day.
She's working off her debt helping them smuggling women.
Am I interrupting?
No, Commander.
Would you excuse us, Petty Officer? You're going to leave the file, sir.
Aye, aye, sir.
Saving the best for last, Commander?
Oh, I won't rehash incidents like turning your hallowed halls of justice
into shooting practice.
Or mention the fact that you personally have burned through a quarter billion
dollars of military equipment in your career.
Nine -tenths of that, after you left flight status to become a lawyer.
Well, thank you.
No, I came here to thank you for delivering the icing on the cake,
You have more than enough to recommend your Lieutenant Yen for court -martial.
What does any of this have to do with you?
You're squandering the Navy's time by keeping this investigation open.
As per usual, what you want is what you get.
And the Admiral thinks I'm not Captain Material.
So that's what this is about, huh, Commander?
The good child syndrome.
You keep your nose clean, I don't, but I catch all the breaks.
Oh, Commander, don't worry.
Your days of catching all the breaks are over.
My report on this place goes to the SECNAV at 0900 tomorrow.
I'm recommending that you and your friends here at JAG all be reassigned.
Reassigned? You've all become far too cliquish.
The interpersonal incest that goes on around here makes it impossible for the
chain of command to function.
Long overdue, Raph.
You and I both know it.
Mr. C, in your account with the Sunshine Brides is credited money every time a
new shipment of teenage girls comes in.
Now, you've worked in these sweatshops when you first came here four years ago
until you were old enough to get married.
Your husband was charged money to be introduced to you.
What I want to know is why you still owe the Sunshine Bride's money.
Look, if this secret's so important, it's worth sending your husband to
to protect it?
When I came here, I worked in sewing factory.
Same as those girls.
And one day this lady, she call herself... Mother?
Yes. She take picture of me and she tell me that I look pretty enough to marry
off to American.
Then she tell me she bring my sister over and we can be family again.
My parents are dead and my sister is only 13.
She have no one.
To file paper to try to get her transferred legally takes years, and I
that if I take too long, that she will die too.
So you had your husband pay for shipping containers?
She had us do it that way so that it won't trace back to her.
But she said it's not enough, and she bring my sister over, but she keep from
us.
Every time she make us pay for another container,
The lower ransom, I must work off.
Where did the $5 ,000 they found in the warehouse come from?
It was all that we have.
About time to go to the warehouse to make an offer to try to get my sister.
Your sister was there?
Agent Reisman. Hey, Commander.
I thought the Navy had just about closed the book on the hen case. Just about,
but not quite. I have some additional information for you.
Come with a price tag?
Well, this time we both get what we want.
There is this woman who calls herself Mother.
Yeah, we know about Mother.
Her real name's Pham Tha.
She's managed to keep the stink of all this off herself, though.
We haven't been able to tie her to any of it.
This is your holy grail.
What is it you want from me?
I

What is this?
You're under arrest.
Get her out of here.
Are you numb, huh?

You're safe now.
Lieutenant!
Lieutenant, I'm going to be honest with you.
I've been under increasing pressure to recommend that you go straight to court
-martial.
Yes, sir.
You should have told me why you did it, Lieutenant. You should have told me
about your wife's little sister.
I knew if I had gone to the police, the INS would have found Nam Ha and sent her
back to Hanoi.
Well, it might interest you to know, Lieutenant, the INS has arrested the
who owns the Sunshine Brass.
She's admitted she blackmailed you into doing what you did. And I have a deal
for you, if you choose to accept it.
You take non -judicial punishment, a letter of reprimand, and a pay cut, and
can go back to active duty flying helicopters.
Yes, sir.
The civil authorities have also agreed not to press charges against your wife.
She has a little sister to raise.
Is that... Nam -ha.
The INF is willing to overlook the way she came into the country. She's
to stay.
I don't know what to say.
I'm sure you'll think of something.
