All language subtitles for JAG S08E18 Fortunate Son

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

.N

.S.

What is this?

You're under arrest.

Get her out of here.

Are you numb, huh?

You, Nam Ha.

No, it's okay.

It's okay.

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.
