All right, lift up, people. We need to secure this building. I want two Marines

in every hatch. Let's go.

You're at the top. Make it so.

Clear.

Clear.

I need three bodies on the other side of this building. Let's go.

Wilson, Johnson, let's go. Move out.

Clear. Check those documents.

Ahmed. Yes, huh?

Translate.

This needs to go to CENTCOM.

What is it? It's an Iraqi intelligence report.

There's a hundred Stinger missiles in the hands of terrorists in Paraguay.

like a list of possible targets in the United States.

All right, let's gather this stuff up and get out of here. Let's go.

You want to see me, sir?

Have a seat.

Mr. Webb.

Colonel. We've just received word that Sadiq Fahd is in possession of more than

100 Stinger missiles.

Sadiq Fahd is in line for the Lifetime Achievement Award in terrorism.

Iranian -born, he served as Arafat's bodyguard in the 70s. Later, he joined

Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Was he part of the bombing at the Marine barracks? Yes.

He also fought in Afghanistan, where he hooked up with al -Qaeda.

Where are the Stinger missiles?

South America, Paraguay, to be precise. The weapons were purchased piecemeal on

the international arms market by a Paraguayan drug dealer named Raul

In turn, he sold them to Sadiq.

And we believe Sadiq intends to use the weapons against targets in the U .S.

Webb's requested that you be assigned to him, T .A .D., I've agreed.

Whatever it is, sir, I'm on board.

Needs a wife.

Sir?

Pregnant wife.

This is a stretch even for you, Webb.

As you know, Webb's been stationed here at the Fuego. His cover's an American

arms dealer. A married arms dealer, with a wife and a family way.

You're the logical choice as my soulmate. You're a woman, a Marine with

expertise, and like Sadiq, you speak Farsi.

Like any number of CIA operatives you have access to. Why me? I'm not at

to discuss the reasons for tapping you, Colonel.

I see.

Well, there's just one little snag in your plan.

I'm not pregnant.

I can take care of that.

Sir!

Oh, it's great to have you back.

Oh, it's nice to be back, Harriet.

How are you doing? I'm good.

Except for the edema. My legs have the envy of sumo wrestlers everywhere, sir.

Good morning, Commander.

We sure are happy for you, sir.

Oh, thank you, Tiny. How's law school?

Graduating three weeks, sir.

Way to go. Thank you.

Good to see you on the upswing, sir.

Well, no thanks to you, Coates.

What was your sense of humor?

Sir, about my testimony, I... Pretty damning.

Yes, sir.

You could have lied.

I considered it, Commander.

Well, the fact that you didn't support my faith in your character, Coates.

Is that for me?

Yes, sir. I thwarted it for you.

Thank you.

You think they'd have the courtesy to put it back?

NCIS did that?

You were their chief suspect.

It'll take weeks to put back together.

Good excuse to redecorate.

It's good to see you.

Congratulations.

All I did was sit in a cell.

You could still be sitting there.

Yeah, that's true.

I owe Agent Gibbs a debt of gratitude.

What was your reaction when they charged Lindsey?

I'm moving on, Sturgis.

One foot in front of the other.

Very enlightened of you. There's nothing else I can do.

So how about you, Will?

How you doing?

I have a bit of a problem, actually.

You don't have problems.

Concerns that Lieutenant Duncan case.

Was that the software thief?

One you and Mac busted.

His case will be reviewed in the Navy Marine Court of Criminal Appeals. So

that's good news. You were his defense attorney.

The brief was filed by his civilian attorney.

They're claiming ineffective assistance to counsel.

Two weeks ago, I made contact with Raul Garcia.

Garcia is the arms middleman who bought the Stinger missile parts on the black

market from Russia, China, and Afghanistan.

He sold them to Sadiq Fahd.

The problem is, we don't know Sadiq Fahd's whereabouts or where he has the

Stingers hidden.

So what's the plan?

Sadiq Fahd's Stingers are cobbled together from surplus parts. They're

one key component, an upgrade that makes them fly straight.

Always an advantage with a missile or a man.

So here's the deal.

I tell Ruel Garcia I have circuit boards to upgrade the Stingers.

He buys the boards for me with diamonds, sells them to Sadiq Fahd in exchange

for uncut coke.

So we get the diamonds, Garcia gets the coke, and Sadiq gets whatever he needs

to make the missiles work.

The upgrade package leads us to Sadiq.

First, we get the Stingers back.

Then we eliminate both Raul Garcia and Sadiq Fahd.

Simple in concept, difficult in execution.

I feel like the Goodyear blimp.

Thank you, Rosa.

And thank you, Colonel, for just getting the both of us killed.

I thought you wanted a Farsi speaker.

I want a Farsi listener.

So I should be seen but not heard. Is that what you want, Webb? Look, I want

to monitor conversations, not respond.

Otherwise, the last sound that you will hear immediately after letting our

enemies know you speak Farsi will be a bullet passing through your brain.

Point taken.

They're real.

They ought to be. Drag your pregnant wife through the jungle. It's the least

can do.

Turn around.

The necklace has 91 radiant cut diamonds with a total of 21 .1 carats. The

center diamond is 2 .05 carats.

Clarity VS1, color G, platinum mounting.

Remember that as if your life depended on it, Sarah.

Why? Because I told Raul Garcia I'm married to a diamond expert.

So unless you can tell the real thing from cubic zirconia, our cover is blown.

The next thing you know, we're both lying dead in the street.

No pressure, then. Besides, I don't want to be cheated. Who does?

Why diamonds?

It's the perfect currency, Colonel.

Diamonds possess many advantages.

They're easy to hide, they do not set off alarms, and they cannot be sniffed

dogs. And they can readily be converted to cash.

Take this stone, for example.

It is an icy winter white set in platinum.

But the mounting hides a tiny fracture.

Give me your hand, Sarah.

With this ring.

I'd be wet.

You do know how to treat a girl.

We need to see you over here for a moment.

You know, diamonds are like people, Colonel.

Very often the imperfections are hidden.

Lieutenant. Yes, sir.

What have you got on your plate right now?

Nothing, sir. You got a morsel for a starving attorney?

I got a full course meal.

Thank you, Petty Officer.

Should be an interesting case for you.

You may remember a lieutenant I defended charged with sabotaging military

software in order to turn it around and develop it at a video game company.

Yeah. The adequacy of my defense is being challenged on appeal.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that, sir.

I'd like to suggest the admiral assign you to represent the government at oral

argument. Well, I'd be honored, sir.

It'd be nice to be on the other side this time.

I'm just curious. Why me, sir?

I trust you, lieutenant.

You prosecuted at my trial, sir.

That's what makes it interesting, isn't it?

Hey. Hi. Are you entertaining?

No, just entertaining myself.

I just came by to see how you are after all you've been through.

Well, so far no one's accused me of murder.

Well, it's early yet.

That's true.

Whoa.

What?

Something you want to tell me?

Plenty.

How did you hide this?

Bigger clothes.

There's a story here. Somewhere.

Listen, I'm going away.

Where? Can't say.

For how long?

Don't know.

This has web written all over it.

He needed a pregnant wife.

I'm his cover story.

Is it dangerous?

Very.

I traveled to Paraguay tonight.

But I needed to know that you were okay. You've been through a lot lately.

I'm coming back, you know. I don't want you to go, Meg.

Why is it...

That you're only like this when I have one foot out the door.

Your interest always fades when I might actually be in a position to return it.

I will bring the car out front around 9 a .m. after you take your breakfast.

Then I am at your beck and call.

Gracias.

We have arranged a corner room.

If you have any long view of the street, Senor Webb.

Williams, Alvaro, don't forget.

Right. Perdóname, Senor.

I will not make that mistake again.

Until tomorrow, Senor Williams.

We've been expecting you.

I did not think I would find someone so beautiful.

A swank hotel suite, our own CIA driver. You really pulled out all the stops,

Webb.

Keep in mind your condition, darling.

Oh, right.

How could I forget? Why did you make up a story about this?

Well, at first it was to explain your absence.

Then I figured it would put me in a better light.

They like kids.

Everyone likes kids.

Yeah, but they're special down here.

We're not just born one day and put into daycare the next.

I've already did his job.

You ever want kids?

Funny time to ask.

You have to find the right man, right time and place.

You have the right man, don't you?

You really believe that?

A rab wouldn't be my choice.

Too oblivious.

But you do need somebody who can stand up to you.

The difference between stand up to and run right over the top of.

You shouldn't have trouble drawing the line.

Really? How much luck have you had with Harm?

And why all the relationship advice?

I don't see any women in your life.

Except you.

I'm just a rental.

I've had my share of women.

Yeah, I counted three when Harm and I were in Australia.

They were all taller than you, and their bust size was larger than their IQ.

Are you close to anyone, Webb?

My mother.

Just what every girl wants to hear.

I hope you do know diamonds from A to Z.

When we meet Garcia in the morning, you have to know your stuff.

Some people take a lifetime to learn about diamonds.

I'll do that.

Thanks.

You look good with half a million dollars hanging around your neck.

Thank you.

Would you mind turning around?

Yes.

Suit yourself.

Which side do you want?

Of what?

The bed.

The one that you're not in.

How are you, sir?

Oh, no better than you, apparently.

Well, you're back in your old days, huh?

And now that Commander Minetti has moved on?

Yeah.

Listen, I was talking to Sturgis.

I'm surprised he has faith in me to handle the Duncan appeal, sir. Come on,

you were natural.

Especially since you were already defended in the Masuko case.

Gives you perspective.

You know, sir, it's just that ever since I came back, I just haven't felt on top

of my game.

I guess I've been trying too hard to regain everyone else's respect.

What makes you think you lost it? Well, that seems to be the general impression

around here, sir.

I wasn't able to pick up where I left off. I was given grunt work, thrown a

minor cases.

You even passed me up at first, sir.

Well, actually, that's why I'm here, bud.

I'd like to help.

You interested?

Are you asking to be my co -counsel, sir?

Judge.

I would like the court to focus primarily on defense counsel's failure

the military's jurisdictional assumptions. We believe that the

not, in fact, have been subject to the UCMJ in the first place, and that

counsel was derelict in failing to raise this issue at trial.

I'm sorry, can we stop for a minute, sir?

This is one small paragraph on page...

18 of the appellant's brief. I can't imagine the attorney would think he'd

much from it, sir.

Why not, sir? Commander Turner understood that you either have

you don't.

Lieutenant Duncan didn't cash out.

It's cut and dried.

Look, I thought the idea of a moot court was to prepare you for left turns,

but... I understand that, sir, but this seems a bit of a stretch.

Sir, the lieutenant was never informed that his release from active duty wasn't

final. Commander Turner failed to argue this at court.

Well, because Mack would have argued that all the relevant information was in

his service record.

That's an assumption, sir.

Shouldn't he have tried everything?

I don't think failure to do so would constitute an ineffective assistance of

counsel. Look, by not arguing lack of jurisdiction, Commander missed an

opportunity to knock the government's case right out, but it's an interesting

angle. Especially since there's no dispositive case law on the subject.

I just don't know, sir. I was planning on focusing on the arguments that they

brought up first. The fact that the lieutenant wasn't given his Article 31

rights by you or Colonel McKenzie.

Well, he didn't give his Article 31 rights because of... time we didn't

was subject to the UCMJ.

Exactly, sir. It's a technicality that could be exploited. Bud, Tyner's on to

something. You should look out for it.

Nice work, Tyner.

You know, you're gonna make a hell of a lawyer one day.

Thank you, sir.

Here she is at last.

Raul? My wife.

I'm honored to know you, Mrs. Williams.

Please, be seated. Thank you, and it's Jane.

I've ordered a caña for you, señor, and for you, Jane, and for your baby, herbal

tea. Ah, gracias.

You have traveled a long way.

I go where my husband needs me.

You should not wear such an expensive necklace on the street in Ciudad del

Unless those stones are paid.

Oh, I would know if they were.

2 .05 carats.

Surrounding it are 91 diamonds, gradient cut, totaling 21 .1 karat.

The color is F.

G.

Clarity VS2.

VS1. Not a bruise, cloud, needle, twining whisk or pinpoint inside.

So, you know what you are.

Yes, and tomorrow we will know what you are.

We'll see if you are who you say you are and whether you can be trusted.

You see, you should know this.

I will not allow my husband to be cheated.

I will call your cell phone with directions as you go.

And I will bring only a driver.

They will have only my driver.

You want a target? 1 ,200, sir. Mark, mark.

Want a contact?

1 ,415, sir. After the meal, you'll signal the waiter with your eyes.

He'll deliver the engagement ring on a silver tray, set it on the table in

of Miss Gatineau.

Excellent. Thank you, sir.

Good luck, Admiral.

I am glad we're finally able to do this.

What are we doing?

Having lunch.

You're pleased we're having lunch?

I'm pleased that you're finally seeing me again.

I'll accept that.

You're not still mad at me?

That's faded.

And we're clear on this whole retirement debacle?

I am relieved you're not retiring, yes.

And the marriage thing.

Hey, Jay.

Um... I'm confused.

How is it that someone as well -read as you becomes so

inarticulate when discussing a subject?

I don't know.

I love words, and sometimes they fail me, and when that happens, I try

to find a simpler way to... To communicate.

Even Shakespeare couldn't match a true gesture of the heart.

And what is in your heart?

AJ?

Just a minute.

Just answer the question.

And I'm going to.

Okay, what's going on?

The waiter has something for you.

Here you go, ma 'am.

Do you have any idea how embarrassed I was? She paid it. She paid the damn

check. You told me you set it up. That they knew what was going on. It took me

half an hour to trace the ring down. Some damn dishwater was trying to hunt.

am so sorry. Sorry, but I am. Listen, numbnuts, you stay out of it.

I'm sorry, Admiral. Next time... No, hell no, there's no next time. You stay

of it. You just stay out of it, Bob. I'll take care of it myself.

Sir.

Dismissed. Aye, aye, sir.

Why aren't you talking, Clay?

What's up?

The past eight months, I've been in a hellhole at the end of the year.

The only reason I got this assignment was because Sierra Del Fuego was close.

The agents didn't need someone who knew the terrain.

Well, now you have a second chance.

The reason I'm telling you this, Sarah, is because you're part of it now.

For the first time in my life, I don't trust myself.

I've taken too many chances.

I hope you can live with that.

Why is it that you're only like this when I have one foot out the door?

Your interest always fades when I might actually be in a position to return it.

Your snoring is killing me.

Nobody's perfect.

Some people aren't even close.

What about me?

No weapon.

I'm an expert marksman, Clay. Can't take a chance when you're being searched.

They find a weapon on you, who knows what else they might find. What if they

search you?

They will.

I'm an arms dealer.

Besides, it's expected of me.

I'm a man.

You know, when I couldn't sleep again last night because of the racket you

making, I took a closer look at this necklace.

There's dried blood in the catch.

Just, uh, where did this necklace come from, anyway?

Company property.

Confiscated?

The necklace only recently came into our possession.

You ever get used to it?

The killing?

Just another day at the office.

You do seem to love your work.

A conscience or a soft heart doesn't play well for a field agent, Sarah.

And you have a problem, Clay, because you have both.

You've proven that again and again.

Don't overestimate me, Sarah.

No time for goodness?

Not in my life.

Can I take that for you, sir? It's cake on your head. Yes, sir.

On the rose in the middle of this cake, I'm going to place the ring. Then I'll

ask Meredith to cut it.

Good plan, sir. Now, I'm telling you this.

Because I don't want you to sit on it or throw it at anyone. Admiral, you have

my guarantee that nothing, and I mean nothing, will happen to this cake.

For whatever the hell good that is.

May I please the court?

My name is Harlan Bradford. I'm appearing for the appellant, Lieutenant

Duncan, United States Navy.

In question is the grossly deficient and prejudicial performance of Commander

Sturgis Turner, the appellant's detailed defense counsel.

We intend to prove, as is outlined in our brief, that during the lieutenant's

trial, the commander was virtually asleep at the wheel and failed to

duties in an objectively reasonable manner.

Excuse me, Mr.

Bradford, but wasn't the evidence against your client overwhelming?

The government's case rested almost entirely on incriminatory statements

the accused himself, Your Honor. We argue that Commander Turner should have,

the interest of his client, moved to suppress the admission of these

On what grounds?

On page 18 of our brief, we've introduced a jurisdictional question.

But the heart of our case is the evidentiary issue and its constitutional

ramification.

JAG investigators, Colonel McKenzie and Commander Rabb, failed to apprise

Lieutenant Duncan of his Article 31 rights prior to obtaining the

admission. But that was because they were under the impression, as well as

client, that he had been discharged and was no longer on active duty.

Your Honor, according to the trial court and prosecution, that impression was

incorrect.

A reasonably competent attorney would have moved to suppress.

Given the unusual facts of this case.

I see deficiency, Counselor, but where's the prejudice?

The unwarned statements given by Lieutenant Duncan had a significant

the outcome of the trial.

In lieu of his admissions, the government's case was largely

There was no direct evidence or cooperative witness presented to

the lieutenant was actually the individual responsible for sabotaging

property.

You okay, Harriet?

Yes, sir. I'm fine.

Are your legs hurt?

Yes, sir.

Is there anything I can do?

Not unless you just want to listen to me vent, sir.

Well, sure.

The floor is yours.

Well, thank you, sir.

I'll be brief, sir.

I don't think of myself as a complainer, but every single one of my pregnancies

has been difficult, and each one has had its own set of problems.

And, sir, for somebody who wants children as much as I do, you'd think

a break, that's all.

Well, I think your frustration is well -deserved, Harriet, especially in light

of your last experience.

Well, you don't think it sounds ungrateful?

Not coming from you.

Thank you.

Hey, have you had lunch?

No, sir.

You want to have lunch with me?

I'd love to, sir, but the thought of traipsing down there... You're not going

have to traipse.

Feet up.

Sir? Feet up. Come on, Lieutenant.

May it please the court, Lieutenant Bud Roberts for the respondent.

Opposing counsel has addressed what he sees as deficient performance

on behalf of the appellant.

Continue, Counselor.

It's easy.

to look at Commander Turner's performance in 2020 hindsight, but the

should be that the offensive counsel made his decisions for legitimate

And those would be?

That arguing against admission of his client's testimony would be difficult,

given that this was a unique factual scenario and there exists little case

law to help guide the outcome.

Are you saying the difficult strategies are beyond Commander Turner?

No, Your Honor.

Then what's your point?

The government will acknowledge a lack of aggression on the part of Commander

Turner, but the accused is entitled only to a constitutionally adequate defense.

It is our opinion that that is what he received.

Enter. Do you have a moment, sir?

What is it?

Well, it's, uh... It's about Colonel McKenzie's recent assignment, Admiral.

What about it?

May I ask the nature of the assignment, sir?

Yes.

Will you answer me, sir?

No.

Commander.

If I hear there's a need for concern, I won't hesitate to let you know.

Thank you, sir.

I assume that satisfies your curiosity.

There were mine dismissed.

Aye, sir.

That was delicious.

You know, you don't cook for me that often.

You want me to do it more?

Well, it beats picking up the check.

You know that was an incredible misunderstanding.

Oh, hon, I was joking.

What are you doing in there, anyway?

The nurse.

Oh, that's lovely.

Would you do the honors, please?

Um,

you have salad dressing on your shirt. I'll deal with it later. Where are you

going? Well, it won't come out later. I'm going to get some club soda.

Meredith. Ah, here we go.

Come over here.

What about dessert?

This will only take a minute.

Well, you come here.

I could see better over here.

Hey, Jay.

Honestly.

You seem so tense.

Relax a little bit.

Hey, did I ever tell you about the time a waiter spilled tomato sauce all over

my skirt? He was mortified and he tried to get me to clean it up, but I

couldn't. Because it looked just like South America.

Yeah.

Oh, better.

Oh.

Oh, AJ.

AJ.

Taxi.

Click.

Oh.

Any obstacles?

Do they have high -test brewing? Just ran out, sir.

Well, can you brew some more?

Yes, sir.

Sir, I've been collecting messages for Colonel McKenzie, but she's not on the

PAD board, and I'm at a loss as to what to tell people.

She's fine.

That wasn't my question, sir.

Well, that's the answer.

Is there reason to be concerned, Commander?

Just brew the coffee, please.

Aye, aye, sir.

In ancient Rome, a diamond was a get -out -of -jail -free card.

If a criminal could smash a diamond with a hammer and anvil, he won his freedom.

Diamonds made the iron rebound and the anvil split asunder, or so says Pliny

Elder. So it never worked.

Pliny doesn't say.

Hold up.

Got it.

Pull over here, Alvaro.

Yes, Mr. Webber.

Mr. Williams.

Now we wait.

Miss Cavanaugh, hello.

Hi, Jason. Is he in?

For his fiancée, ma 'am, I think so.

Hi.

Hi.

I have three questions for you. Answer them yes or no.

Okay.

Were you trying to propose to me at the restaurant?

Yes. And at your house?

Yes.

Do you have a ring?

Yes.

May I see it?

Yes.

Yes.

Say it any way you want. Would you be interested in spending the rest of your

life with a grumpy, hard -put, fun old man?

Especially when... Can you put it that way?

Well, how'd it go?

Bud couldn't focus.

Ended up throwing me to the lions.

You're kidding.

I've never seen him like this.

What did he do?

Not very much.

The appellant attorney was prepared, had a solid evidentiary approach.

He didn't go jurisdictional?

No.

I may have had... Something to do with this.

Well, I encourage Bud to consider other strategies.

But, Harm, the Article 31 was the main component of their brief. I know that,

but... Tyner came up with this interesting jurisdictional... You took

from Tyner.

Don't get upset.

Harm, I asked you to supervise, not... not encourage the brain parts of a law

student.

Sergis.

Hey.

I was trying to help.

We don't really believe they're going to overturn it.

You know what I believe?

I believe that whatever the decision, they'll probably all agree I'm a lazy,

uninvolved, and mediocre attorney.

Whatever he told you, sir, it's true. What happened in there?

I lost my concentration, and I couldn't find my way back, so I took the easy way

out and...

I sacrificed Commander Turner in the process, sir. It looked like it worked

though. The panel gave us the impression that they weren't going to reverse the

conviction. Did I confuse you with my suggestions?

No, no, it's not your fault, sir. I had already planned for the other strategy.

I should have been able to act on it. Then why didn't you? I don't know.

I can walk almost as well as I used to, but when I get into a court, I can't

find my legs.

You know, you keep saying that, but you're going to start believing it. I do

believe it, sir.

I became...

stale during rehab. I lost something. The only thing you've lost is your

eyesight.

I don't understand, sir. You know, I can't even believe I have to say this to

you of all people.

You can't see beyond your own nose.

Now stop making excuses and start paying attention.

Hey, honey.

Hi.

Let's get you home and into bed, okay?

No, it's early.

No, no, no. I think Jag will be okay without you for a few hours.

Okay.

I got you. I got you.

Okay?

I see another.

Looks like he's got eight drivers.

Change of plan.

Stay in the car.

You need me.

Hello,

Raul. This

will

do you no good.

Is something bothering you?

Yeah, my butt's sore. Why can't you people pave these damn roads?

She's a little cranky today, Raoul.

Where's what you promised me?

I'll borrow.

Yes. Ma 'am, hello, this is Commander Harmon, Rab. I met you some years back.

I remember.

You're one of Clayton's friends. You're in the Navy.

Yes, ma 'am, that's right.

Ma 'am, I hope I'm not disturbing you, but Clayton is currently traveling with

an associate of mine, Lieutenant Colonel Sarah McKenzie, and I need to get a

hold of her. The colonel left no forwarding address?

No, ma 'am, but they left for Paraguay. Cell phone number?

Unreachable. Commander, I'm in no position to reveal Clayton's whereabouts

any time.

I have information of a highly sensitive nature to impart to the Colonel, ma

'am. Well, give it to me, and if I speak to him, I'll pass it along.

Unfortunately, I'll need to deliver it to her personally, ma 'am. Are you

concerned for her welfare?

If she's traveling with my son, you ought to be.

All the more reason then, ma 'am, to help me get a hold of them.

Does he love this woman?

I'm sorry?

Clayton is very protective of those he loves Well, I don't believe so, ma 'am

That's unfortunate I'm sorry, Commander There's nothing I can do for you

Take a look

12 carats.

Flawless. Perfect cut.

B color.

This one's a keeper.

8 carats.

Poor symmetry.

Included.

That one was cut by Stevie Wonder.

What other stones have you got?

Your woman knows her business, huh?

Well, she has her uses.

Men come and go, Raoul. They lose their hair or their fortunes.

Diamonds stay hard forever.

You can get half a million for the lot in Tel Aviv, darling.

Your bodyguard seems to have lost interest in keeping you alive.

So now, can you give me any reason why I should not kill you?
