All language subtitles for JAG S09E07 Close Quarters

Con sonar, I have submerged contact
bearing 180.

Sonar con, aye.

Let's see if we can get her to react. Go
active.

Confirmed active.

180, aye.

She's detected, sir.

Abating to the east.

We'll assume she's unfriendly.

Attention in the control room. We've
confirmed an unidentified submarine in

South Korean waters. We'll monitor, but
we'll not pursue.

Craft entering the reef, sir, bearing
175.

Our channel's no wider than 15 feet. We
caught ourselves a minnow.

Detecting a metallic scraping, Skipper.

Don't tell me she's hit the damn thing.

She's surfacing, sir.

Officer to deck, take us to periscope
depth.

Aye, aye, sir. Diving officer to watch,
proceed to periscope depth.

Proceeding to periscope depth, aye.

I hold a North Korean midget submarine
on this bearing. Smoke rising from its

sail. Crew on deck.

She's sinking.

Officer to deck. Any other craft in the
area?

Negative, sir.

Then inform the crew there will be
guests for chow.

Aye, aye, sir.

Service the boat and ready a boarding
party.

Hey, bud.

Welcome back, Commander.

Thanks.

Hey.

Hey, Commander.

Hey, Harriet.

Harriet.

Is there something I should know about?
No, sir.

Just busy, sir. Oh, the Iams cases, huh?

Are you well -rested, sir?

You bet.

Then be prepared not to be.

Listen, um... Sir, they have you in
Commander Turner's old office, and I

there may have been a small animal that
died in the wall in there. I've notified

public works. I'm sorry, sir.

Commander.

Yes, Captain?

My office?

Yes, sir.

Be right there.

Anything we need to talk about?

Not at the moment, sir.

Mm -hmm.

I don't have to worry about you then,
huh?

No, sir.

You are semi -content?

No, sir.

I guess you'd like to get away from here
for a little while, huh?

I wouldn't disagree with that, Admiral.
Well, I'm sending a TAD to the Sea of

Japan. Have a seat.

That'd be very far from here, sir.

You'll be boarding a U .S. fast -attack
submarine.

Thought you'd like that.

That'd be like going home, sir. Not
quite.

USS Cathedral City rescued 10 North
Korean submariners in South Korean

territorial waters.

There's still a board, sir? Near the
port is Chen He, which is off the boat's

mission pattern. If they duck and raise
flags, State Department wants to get

their hands around it before they're
assaulted by the press.

North Korean spy, sir?

See, there's a...

Classified South Korean military
facility within recon distance, but

has been proven.

Feasibility of recovering the vessel is
being assessed.

The crew being treated as survivors of
combat, sir.

Waiting for a determination.

You'll get one, sir. Make it fast or
seriously overcrowded.

Understood, sir. Anything else?

Yeah.

Come back with a new attitude.

Aye, sir.

That's it.

Thanks.

You need some help?

I'm all right.

You sure?

I'd appreciate it, Commander.

It'd be my pleasure.

There you go.

Thank you.

Are you okay?

Well, I am now.

High blood pressure.

Ran out of pills four days ago, and they
say, you know, never just stop like

that. Well, I was, uh, semen, 42 to 45.

Really? Yeah.

If I'm not out of line, is this a
result?

Oh, no, no, no, no.

I lost this on a bus accident two weeks
after my discharge.

Oh, I'm sorry.

No need to be.

I manage.

But I would do better if I could get
along on that disability that they pay.

I got a little behind in my rent.

Landlord tossed me.

Well, where do you stay now?

Land shelter.

Well, have a good night, Commander.

Do you need a lift?

Oh, no, no, no, no. Not long as I got
these two.

Terrence Minerley?

Yes, sir, and how are you tonight?

You want to raise your arm above your
head and turn around, please?

Is there a problem, officer?

A receptionist at the office building
across the street has accused this man

robbery.

He's good.

Let's go.

Just so that we're on the same page,
sir, I've been tasked to do more than

as your interpreter.

I'm aware we have different agendas,
Lieutenant. I'll make sure you get your

intel. My senior was all over my six
about it.

It appears that we may not be able to
raise the North Korean sub.

And no one knows how long we could hang
on to these guys.

You're the man.

My first assignment, sir.

They needed my language skills.

I'm sure you're up to it.

Keep telling me that, Commander.

Feeling the pressure?

Want to do it right, sir.

And, Commander, I'm going to need time
with these men on my own.

I'm clear on that, Lieutenant.

I hope you are, sir.

The collision with the reef must have
penetrated the pressure hall.

We suspect water leaked inside, shorted
out an electrical panel, which caught

fire. Took her eight minutes to go
under.

You did the right thing, Skipper.

Tell that to my crew.

Twenty of them are already hot -racking.
An additional twelve seriously pushes

our limits. How's the food supply?

Low. We're close to the end of our
deployment.

We intend to be expedient.

And I appreciate it.

Where are we headed, sir?

Forward torpedo room.

You weren't able to isolate them, sir?

Not without compromise and security.

This is first -class thoughts, our
corpsman.

This is Commander Turner, investigating
JAG, Lieutenant Yi from Navy

Intelligence. It's a pleasure, sir.

Do you want to brief them on the medical
status of North Korean submarines?

One broken wrist, various cuts and
burns, another is experiencing

difficulty from smoke inhalation.
Nothing serious.

They're all lucid.

Carry on, gentlemen. Thank you, sir.

He couldn't get his prescription filled,
so he called the HMO.

They tell him he's not in the system.
They give him a runaround.

Four days. And that's reason to commit
robbery?

No, no, he was trying to get them to
correct their mistake. He went to the

corporate office in person.

He tries to get by the receptionist. She
threatens to call the security guard,

isn't it?

An act of desperation.

He stuck his hand in his pocket and he
ordered her to hand over her purse.

Why is it you want to help this man?

Because he's a good man.

He's not a thief, Mac. All he took was
enough money to pay for the prescription

he couldn't get.

Look.

The guy's a homeless vet. He was
sticking up for himself.

You know he's had to go the last 60
years without the benefits afforded

because he had the misfortune to lose
his arm after he'd been discharged?

All good reasons, but age and
circumstance are not excuses for illegal

Look, if anyone deserves a break, this
guy deserves a break.

Arm, you don't have the time.

Let the civilian authorities handle it
and concentrate on the 27 Imes cases you

have to review. You have at least twice
as many as the rest of us.

How am I going to say no?

The real question is, how many all
-nighters do you have in you?

Commander, glad I caught you.

The Admiral wants you to have these.

What are they?

Lieutenant Singer versus Lieutenant
Commander Imes.

Six cases in all, sir.

Was he smiling when he gave them to you?

Slightly. He's being tested.

Put them under the arm. I'd be happy to
help you carry them near. I got them.

I just, uh, want to steer him in the
right direction.

I'll hook him up with a public defender
and I'll advise him from afar.

He's homeless.

How are you going to do that?

Oh, I got that coming.

You found him a place?

Well, temporarily.

He's on your couch.

They have come down, Commander.

Do we think any of them speak English?

I attested for that, sir. I believe we
can talk freely.

Then we'll start with the skipper.

Chief, you've got to escort this man to
the officer's wardroom. Yes, sir.

He refuses to leave his crew, sir.

Then we'll question him here.

As you were, Chief.

Aye, sir.

That will allow them to cook up a common
story, Commander.

How do we know that hasn't already
happened?

They haven't heard my questions yet,
sir. But isolating him might shut them

down. Sir, it's just not the way it's
done.

It is now.

As captain of the vessel, what was your
mission?

To protect North Korean sovereignty.

In South Korean waters?

Not intentionally.

We're a small vessel.

Engine trouble made it difficult to
fight offshore currents.

He wants us to believe that he drifted
in. That's what he's saying, sir.

No.

I'm still asking the questions here,
Lieutenant.

Just jumping on an opportunity, sir.

I asked him if he had surveillance
equipment on board. He said no.

I informed him that we planned to raid
his vessel and if he would like to stand

by his answer.

He replied that we were the aggressors
by running his boat into the reef.

Tell him that if he refuses to
cooperate, he may not be allowed to

country.

You asked a million -dollar question,
sir. Have we offended them?

Four of them. The other six were
encouraged.

Be specific.

They want a defect, Commander.

That's about the worst good news I've
heard.

Six defectors and four combats.

Is that how you see it, Commander?

I do, Skipper.

We better split them up.

I'll put the fixed friendlies in nine
-man berthing.

Keep the four combatants where they are,
more security there.

Can't berth my own crew in either place,
which means I've just lost nine more

racks. Can you make that work?

It took the XO three hours to lay out
the last watch schedule. This one will

his brain in knots.

When do you expect the chain of command
to authorize the extraction of the North

Korean, sir?

Hard to say. State Department will have
to rethink, given that we now have

defectors. I will consider this an
opportunity to further interrogate, sir.

Please do.

Patience is no doubt the key.

You seem to have a ready supply of that
skipper.

Don't let appearances fool you. I'm
counting the minutes until these men are

of my hair.

My pleasure.

You comfortable on the couch?

Yeah, yeah.

No, no problem.

Commander.

Why are you doing this?

I wanted to help.

Because I got one arm?

It's because you deserve better.

I never got overseas.

You serve, Terrence.

That's what counts.

I suppose.

Can I ask you a question, Terrence?

What have you been doing since the war?

Not a lot.

Well, it's been 60 years. You must have
got up to something.

I never married.

I found a job that I could relate to for
very long.

But I was always able to take care of
myself.

So, up to now, everything was fine.

We're going to get you past this.

You've got a long night ahead of you, so
I feel that you've got to keep me

company.

All right.

We'll talk in the morning.

But I do feel bad about that girl that I
held up.

You could write her a letter of apology.

Might encourage the Commonwealth
Attorney's Office to settle.

If you think it'll help.

Talk to your lawyer about it. See what
he thinks.

Don't stay up too late.

Don't have much choice.

Good night.

Good night, Commander.

Any luck, Lieutenant?

The defectors are not talking, sir.

They want proof they won't be sent back.

What kind of proof?

Their feet on our soil, sir.

Technically, that's the case.

For them, it's about where we dock, sir.

Is there some common cultural theme you
can exploit?

No, sir.

What about the combatants?

As you might guess, Commander, they're
combative.

Have you had a problem understanding
these men, Lieutenant?

Did you see a problem, sir?

No, but I can only assume that there's
some dialect difference between North

South Korea. I don't know to what
extent.

May I ask where you live, Commander?

D .C.

Do you have a problem understanding
blacks in Florida?

Point taken. My apology.

Do I annoy you, Lieutenant?

I'm just frustrated, sir.

Generally?

We're just different people, Commander.

Is that the way you see it? I think it's
the way you see it, sir.

You'll need to explain that, Lieutenant.

Just something I've sent, sir.

If I've said things to offend you, they
were unintentional.

I believe they were, sir.

Where are you from, Lieutenant?

Los Angeles.

Is your family still there?

The house I was raised, sir.

What's your dad do?

Nothing much, sir.

He owned a liquor store for 12 years.

I got during a robbery.

When he recovered, he retired and pretty
much keeps to himself these days.

That's unfortunate.

My mother would agree with you on that
point, Commander.

As you were.

Orders just came in from Passable.

Good news, kid?

CH -53 will be extracting you and all
ten North Korean survivors in twelve

hours. Ah, you look relieved.

I haven't felt as good since I hit the
Reno slot.

Hey, good morning.

Like clockwork. Did Mrs. Delmucci stop
by? Three times yesterday.

She brought two dresses.

A grammar textbook and a bean casserole.
She's a good neighbor, huh?

Can't get past the hairs on her cheek.

There's a small price to pay for help. I
don't need her help.

Maddie, look, I don't care how long
you've lived alone, you are still a

without parental supervision.

Now, you may know how to run a business,
but frozen pizza, dirty overalls, and

television is only going to take you so
far.

That's why I'm waiting for you.

Maddie, this is going to be a bit of an
uphill battle.

Now, the fact that your father is still
alive complicates me becoming your

guardian. Spoken like a lawyer.

Well, when am I going to see you again?

As soon as I can see over my desk.

I'm going to see you in a couple of
days.

Maddie, I'm not going to abandon you.

I got planes to gas farm.

Okay. All right. Look, I'll call you
tomorrow, okay?

I'll be here.

Commander Rapp?

Yeah. Chris Nicoletti, Public Defender's
Office.

Come on in, Councilman.

Oh, what is that?

A rat died in the wall.

They tell me they're working on it. You
get used to it.

Have a seat.

No, that's all right. I can't stay
anyway.

I know what you mean. I'm up against it
myself. I got maybe half an hour. Five

minutes for me. I'm off the case.

Why?

Well, unfortunately, Mr. Manley's
disability is $213 above the established

poverty line.

The man can't pay his rent.

Well, that's not a qualifier. It's
strictly a numbers game.

What, so you're out?

By law.

I recommend you take over the case
yourself.

I can't do that, Counselor. I'm buried.
I barely have enough time to sleep.

Then he's going to have to hire an
attorney.

What, with all that extra cash?

I realize that this seems unfair.

It isn't unfair, Mr. Nicoletti. It's
perverted.

I don't write the rules, Commander.

I'm sorry.

Good luck.

Hey, hey, bud.

Oh, hi, sir. Listen, I have a civilian
pro bono case that needs attention.

Oh, now's not a really good time, sir.
I'm reviewing my Iams cases.

Well, we all are. Then you understand,
sir.

Well, how many do you have?

Enough to push my schedule back.

Well, give me a number.

Two.

Sir, I really do have a full plate here.
I've got to prepare for the petty

officer Laporte's sentencing hearing.

What, are you arguing the death penalty?

Life imprisonment.

She spied against her country. You'll
get it.

And, of course, there's a new baby in
the house, sir.

Well, you don't want to help.

I do, sir. I do. If I was allowed to,
I'd...

The Admiral put you up to this.

I'm not the only one, sir.

What, am I being punished?

You might want to consider it a hazing,
sir.

Survivor using the head, sir. It's been
a half the night, sir.

Eight minutes, Commander.

So we know that, right?

You resent this man, Petty Officer?

We all do, sir. These guys have made our
lives hell.

You can dislike him as your enemy, but
you will respect him as a man.

No matter what he eats. Am I clear on
this?

Yes, sir.

If I may, sir, we're all a bit worn out.
Things get said in frustration.

I don't think they don't.

I've altered my prior diagnosis,
Skipper.

You're ruling out smoke inhalation? It
appears to be viral, sir.

Explain.

He's experiencing respiratory trauma,
has a dry cough, and a 101 fever.

Flu symptoms?

Possibly, sir.

What else could it be?

Here's my problem.

I checked the symptoms against my
reference sources, and...

You need to keep in mind, sirs, I don't
have the kind of equipment that can

guarantee a diagnosis.

What's your suspicion?

Skipper, I've tried for the last hour to
rule out this possibility.

But it looks like this man has
contracted SARS.

Officer to deck, prepare to ventilate.
Aye, aye, sir. Diving officer, prepare

ventilate. Prepare to ventilate, aye.

The vessel to periscope deck, sir.

We are at 5 '5", Skipper.

Raising snorkel mass.

Diving officer, raise the snorkel mass.

Raising snorkel mass, aye.

She's ventilating, sir. She's
ventilating, Skipper.

Atmosphere samples in one half hour.
Aye, aye, sir. Taking atmosphere samples

1630 Zulu.

Yes.

You've lost your rack, Commander.

I moved the sick defector to the XO
stateroom, sealed it off with plastic

sheeting and duct tape, designated a
quarantine area.

I'll make do.

We now have North Koreans occupying
three separate compartments.

What's the plan with the EAPs?

Wearing these too long can cause
headaches and diminish brain function.

They'll come off as soon as we exchange
the air.

Will it be safe?

One can only hope.

SARS is spread through person -to
-person contact. That would include

transmittal through coughing and
sneezing, which means every molecule on

boat is suspect.

In that case, I would recommend we all
be checked for symptoms. You and I are

about to be the first.

Hey. Can't help you, Harm.

You're off limits.

I'm overwhelmed.

As predicted.

Public defender, drop the guy.

This system is killing him. Well, then
take them on. He needs somebody like

I would if I could, but I can't fit him
in.

Even if I could, hell, the Admiral would
never authorize it. Every time I turn a

corner, he tosses another hoop in my
path. How do you think he's going to

when he sees me jumping through that
hoop? With forgiveness.

He always lets you slide.

Get out.

You can't deny it. Of course I can.

How's this supposed to help you get what
you want?

I don't have a strategy.

You were right.

I'm coming to you with my hat in my
hand.

Look, I'm busy too, you know.

Yeah, but you're smart. You know just
what to do. You're smart enough to know

when I'm being snowed.

All right.

Sorry to waste your time.

Look, I'll meet with him.

If I can fit it in, I'll let you know.

You were off the hook. Why'd you jump
back on? Because if you were me, you

have said yes and I'm overwhelmed.

Give me his number.

I'll do you one better. Mr. Minoway.

Sir, I would like you to meet your new
attorney, Colonel Sarah McKenzie.

Problem, Chief? They won't remove their
EAB, sir.

They still believe the air is
contaminated, sir.

Reassure them that the air is safe.

They're still refusing, Commander.

Well, they can't wear them indefinitely.

It'll affect their thinking and reduce
our ability to get it from maintenance.

You do what you have to do, Chief.

Yes, sir.

Sir.

You really want to force the issue?

You could end up agitating them, sir.

Chief. Chief.

Did that amuse you?

I was just happy at work, Lieutenant.

You picked him.

Make you feel superior?

No, sir. I didn't see that either,
Lieutenant.

Majority rules, Commander.

If you'll excuse me, sir. Carry on,
Lieutenant.

Let's start again.

Here's what can be argued.

Because of circumstances created by your
need for medication, you were not an

irrational state of mind.

I knew what I was doing.

You don't want to admit that.

But it's the truth.

It won't serve you.

Colonel, is there a reason you're in
your office?

Uh, should I be elsewhere, sir?

Well, the corporal would be appropriate,
considering that your sentencing

hearing started about nine minutes ago.

Oh, sir, I'm so sorry. I got busy, and
I... Um, can you...

Sassaboe

doesn't want us.

SARS is politically sensitive in Japan,
and the possibility of reintroducing the

virus to the mainland is a risk they're
unwilling to accept.

But the virus came from the mainland.

North Korea, Commander. A country whose
population is isolated.

What would they have us do?

Seventh Fleet has directed us to Dutch
Harbor, an inactive naval facility in

Aleutian Chains. About a two -day trip.

Medical team will be flown in to meet
us.

And if they conclude that it is SARS?

We would be quarantined for an
unspecified period of time. May I ask

temperature at Dutch Harbor, sir?

Last reading was four degrees
Fahrenheit.

Skipper, that kind of weather could
exacerbate... We're already on course,

Officer.

Does this not seem overreaching to you,
Skipper? Nothing's been proven.

Either way, that makes us subject to
worst -case theorizing.

Do you have a microscope on board?

Yes, sir.

Then you have the means for a conclusive
diagnosis.

Not without virus -matching software,
Commander.

Can you photograph with this microscope?

I can jerry -rig something.

Well, Skipper, since the boat has
internet connectivity with the mainland,

it be possible to photograph a slide,
send that to Bethesda?

In theory.

They could run it through their program,
make it a determination there.

Keep talking.

I could run point.

I'd meet the corpsman and help with the
computers.

I could spare the comm, Guru.

That would work.

All right, Commander.

You just raised my expectations.

The colonel's in court, Commander.

Hey, uh... There was an elderly
gentleman in there with her. You didn't

to see where he... He's with the
Admiral.

What are they doing?

They're talking.

About what?

I think they're in his office. Should I
let him know you're looking for him? No,

no. I have to go in there anyway, sir.

Okay, thanks.

Skipper's having a bad day, sir. Did you
assault this man, Chief? Why would I do

that, Lieutenant?

He said you're trying to kill him. In
case you didn't notice, sir, he's a

on the excitable side.

That's because you scare him, Chief.

This man is ill. I thought he was
asleep, sir.

Call the corpsman. Aye, aye, sir.

Our weapon systems have been seriously
compromised.

We have one torpedo tube and a starboard
voice to add a commission.

I'm considering surfacing and setting
these four men adrift. Can I do that,

Commander? No, Skipper.

Violates the basic tenets of the laws of
sea. What if I notify North Korean

authorities prior to doing so?

Still can't guarantee their safety.

They're the enemy, dammit. While in our
custody, protected by the Geneva

Convention. And who the hell's
protecting my crew? And don't tell me

You were under the impression I would.

You look like a pious man.

Less than less.

Then we're stuck with plan B.

I ordered the sick combatant moved to
the quarantine sector and our saboteur

secured to his rack.

Sir, I have concerns about that. He is
completely immobilized.

What's your point, Lieutenant?

It strikes me as inhumane, sir. Given
the amount of time, he's likely to be

confined.

I have an obligation to protect this
vessel.

Of course you do, sir. But can we
consider other options?

Maybe we could isolate him and put a
guard at the door.

I'd have to think about it. Skipper, I
strongly recommend against it. You could

deny your men one more place to sleep.

And resisting what amounts to torture,
sir.

This is strange talk coming from an
intelligence officer, Lieutenant.

Keep working those clichés, Commander.

Who exactly are you representing here?
My country, sir.

And I can do it without penalizing these
men for being who they are.

I'm starting to resent the implications,
Lieutenant.

Doesn't surprise me, sir.

What if we sedate him?

That's great, Commander.

Treat him like an animal. He was acting
like an animal. Stand down, both of you.

There's no reason to make this person.

Any legal issues I need to be aware of
with sedation, Commander?

I don't think so, Skipper.

That's what I'll do, then.

Officer to deck. Skipper.

Have the corpsman report to main con
ASAP. Aye, aye, sir.

Lead corpsman report to the con ASAP. I
repeat, lead corpsman report to the con.

That is all.

I can't believe I let you rope me into
this. Hey, you had your chance to bail.

Why didn't I? Ma 'am, sir, he's waiting.

Colonel, Commander, you're familiar with
Mr. Minnerly? Yes. Yes, sir.

Why aren't I?

You left me out of the loop again,
didn't you? Sir, we thought... You ever

of the Great Lakes experience?

No. Sorry, sir.

Neither had I.

Mr. Minnerly.

Well, in 1942, President Roosevelt
recruited black men into the Navy,

of them. Me and others passed through
the Great Lakes Naval Training Center in

Illinois. What were you trained to do?

Well, some played baseball, some
designed graphics, men boxed,

some performed in plays.

And you?

I played in a band.

Musicians were put in 25 -man ensembles
and stations at bases all across

the country.

I was at Treasure Island, San Francisco.
We played everything, standards,

marches, classical music.

And at night, we swung.

We went on for about three years.

Why was this done?

To help maintain morale, or at least
that's what I understood.

And you all were okay with it?

Well, it was a great honor at that time.

I know now it seems that maybe we were
being stereotyped, but good things came

out of it. People could see that black
men could do more than work as stewards

and cooks.

Apparently some barriers were broken.

We were the first to integrate the Navy
Music School, and when the Navy saw that

it worked, They became even more open to
the idea, and after that, things

happened pretty quick.

Why didn't you tell me about this?

You wouldn't have told me if I hadn't
stumbled onto it.

Well, that was a long time ago.

What instrument did you play?

I played piano.

You're aware of Mr. Minnerly's
situation?

I understand that you two were trying to
help him out with a little success.

So, call the Commonwealth attorney.

Know him from law school, and he agreed
to drop the charges if Mr. Minnerly

promises to attend counseling.

That's great.

And the American Red Cross is putting
him up in their Quantico facility until

can find a new place.

We should be here right about now. Mr.
Miller has been a great pleasure to meet

you, sir.

And my yeoman will show you out. I
appreciate this, Admiral.

Thank you, Commander.

Thank you, Colonel.

Take care, Mr. Miller.

Why

the hell

weren't the two of you on top of this?

Well, Admiral, that man is an example of
the hundreds of thousands of veterans

who are in need on a daily basis.

I expected better of both of you.

Especially you, Commander. Aren't you
the man who does what's necessary to get

the job done?

Sir, I was under the impression that man
is unwelcome in this office.

Not entirely.

Sir, I need to know what's expected of
me.

Am I to prove myself or be myself?

That's a fair question.

Do what you do.

Well, that's going to be a little
difficult under the present work law,

Well, then, um... Lieutenant Singer's
cases, give those to, uh...

Give them to the colonel.

Admiral. Will that clear it up?

Absolutely. Sir, I... That'll be all.

Aye, aye.

I have the cons.

Just received news from Bethesda.

The blood sample we sent them is
negative on SARS.

Outstanding, Skipper. The USS Cathedral
City owes you a debt of gratitude,

Commander.

What do they think it is?

Nasty strain of flu.

You know on the way, Skipper?

Already in the air.

Good for you, sir.

You know, I'm sorry we weren't able to
get along better, Lieutenant.

You have a sense of how that could have
been avoided, sir?

Honestly, I don't.

That's too bad, sir.

You're sure that this is my problem, not
yours?

That's the way I see it, sir.

And I won't attempt to argue the point.

I do have one question, though.

Was the man who robbed and shot your
father black?

Yes, sir.

Have you all, Lieutenant?

Generic?

Admiral, I, uh... Commander, I've
already been briefed. Go home. Whatever

have, the rest of us don't want it.

Aye, Adler. There is one thing.

Complaint's been filed against you.

by Lieutenant Yi, forwarded me by the
Chief of Naval Intelligence.

The specifics?

Racial bias.

I've been asked to evaluate and take
appropriate action.

He thinks I'm prejudiced against
Koreans.

Is it true?

No, sir.

Good enough for me.

And would that be the end of it,
Admiral? Oh, as far as I'm concerned,

has gone up the chain of command, but
I'm ball -busting your officers.

Yes, sir.

I'll make some calls, see if I can
smooth some feathers.

You seem to be doing that a lot on my
behalf, sir.

Commander.

You ever get angry?

Excuse me, sir.

Do you ever get angry? You know, just
lose it.

Why do you ask that?

Well, if you think you've been falsely
accused, why don't you get pissed off?

I've gone over some of the things that I
said to Lieutenant, sir.

And given that he's on the sensitive
side, I might have come off as more

than I like to think I am. Oh, so you're
buying into these accusations.

I think I might have handled it better,
sir.

Given my own experiences, I should have.

Skipper, the USS Cathedral City thinks
you hung the moon.

Will that help in this instance, sir?

I don't know.

This is one of those issues that tends
to have a life of its own.

Terrence, you look great. I'm so glad
you popped by to let us know.

Oh, it's good to have you military folks
back in my life.

Feels like it did when I was playing.

You know, we had a swinging version of
Stars and Stripes.

I'm having trouble picturing that.

Really? Oh, no, it was him.

Let me see if I can dig up a little
piece for you.

Have you met Terrence Minnerly?

No, sir.

He took part in the Great Lakes
experience.

Ah, familiar with it, sir. Helped, uh,
helped integrate the Navy.

Yeah, come on, I'll introduce you. I'd
rather not, Admiral.

At least not at the moment.

All right, well, they went and I'll
bring them by.

When I feel worthy, sir.

Thank you.
