All language subtitles for JAG S09E18 What If

If you'll all raise your glasses, I
present to you Petty Officer First Class

Jennifer Coates. Your promotion will be
effective May 1st. Congratulations.

Good to see you.

Mm -mm.

Cookies. Perhaps you should go by order
of rank. No, no.

Of course your cookies aren't my thing.

I think we should go alphabetically.

Well, that would make you laugh. T for
Turner. I say we go by height.

Excellent idea.

Commander, pick your future.

Got to read it, sir. It's not loud. It's
the rule.

Tell us what it says.

Your unspoken desire is the road not
taken.

Take it.

I don't really believe in these things.

I think you won't reveal your fortune
because you do believe.

Commander, your wife is here.

Well, this is a surprise.

No uniform.

I'm P .A .D. to Jag for transition
briefings at the Navy annex.

Stop by to have the Admiral sign off on
my terminal leave.

You're leaving the service?

As of tomorrow.

That's why I need you to sign our
divorce papers today.

I'll sign the divorce papers. You've
been sitting on them for a month. What

the big hurry?

Well, it would be nice to get a divorce
before I get married again. You're

getting married again?

When? This weekend.

John planned a romantic trip by train to
Colorado.

He found a wedding chapel overlooking
the Rockies.

Who is John?

When did all this happen? What is going
on in your life, Mac? If you had ever

listened to me when we were married,
you'd know the answer to that. I don't

to be here five years from now, alone,
childless, and still fighting with you.

Why did we ever think it would work?

Because four years ago in Sydney Harbor,
we realized we loved each other. Love

isn't enough, Harm.

Well, I hear it's a good prerequisite
for marriage. Well, so is consideration,

time spent together, and a million other
things. Our marriage always came last.

Sir, the Admiral's requested you.

You wanted to see me, Edmund?

I assume you read the case file on
Marine Colonel Sutter.

What's your take?

Well, he fired two rounds inches from an
Iraqi detainee's head in order to

coerce information from him. It's a
clear violation.

But?

Well, he did extract critical intel that
saves American lives, ma 'am.

It doesn't change the law. It's going to
Article 32, and I want you to

prosecute. Aye, aye, ma 'am.

Ma 'am.

Colonel Sutter is the headstrong, highly
decorated war hero who marches to the

beat of his own drummer. He's going to
take a firm hand from defense counsel.

Give me the name.

Colonel McKenzie is there, Jack. T .A
.D., what do you think about assigning

the case?

Excuse the interruption, Admiral. About
my terminal leave request.

The commander and I were just discussing
that.

Change of plans.

You'll be defending Colonel Sutter.

I appreciate the vote of confidence in
my abilities, but I'll be on terminal

leave as of tomorrow.

I haven't signed your paperwork yet,
Colonel.

I realize that, Admiral.

One last assignment.

It's only in Article 32.

Your leave will be delayed by a day or
two at most.

Dismissed.

Aye, aye, ma 'am.

I hope you know what you're doing.

Be careful what you whisper.

It's simple, Colonel. I interrogated an
Iraqi detainee who had intel on a

planned ambush of U .S. Marines. My men.

He gave up time and place.

Surrendered his cohorts. There was no
attack, nor after that any enemy

in my sector.

End of story.

You personally escorted the detainee
outside the tent, fired two shots next

his head.

It seemed to clear his mind.

Threats and intimidation, no matter what
the result, are violations of the rules

of interrogation.

You know who reported me?

A female judge advocate who'd spent ten
hours questioning the detainee, getting

nowhere. I don't see the relevance, sir.
Phony Marines, Colonel, that's the

relevance. Women who've never seen
combat can't possibly understand what's

stake.

You don't like what you hear?

Well, speaking as a phony Marine, sir, I
know what's at stake now.

You're charged with aggravated assault
and communicating a threat. You're

dismissal and prison time.

Now, as I see it, your character is the
key to this defense.

So you tell me if you like what you
hear, sir.

I can see from the look on your face,
Commander, you're wondering why I went

along with assigning Colonel McKenzie to
the case.

You figure I've gone soft.

It's not an ounce of fat on you,
Krennic, Admiral.

The way I see it, you need to get her
out of your system so you can move on.

Find a woman that's right for you. You
never give up, do you?

You need a woman that's tough,
ambitious.

Ruthless. That too.

Someone who can give you the right of
your life. In case you forgot, I pulled

nine and a half G's in a Tomcat.

Then maybe you're finally ready for me.

Oh, here, I have this in my trunk.

Settlement of our house and assets was
the easy part. Still have to divvy up

memories.

A few items got mixed in when I packed
up to leave. I wondered where this was.

remember when you separated from my
Corvette, as I recall, a tire iron was

involved. And I recall a promise to
trade in the vet for something more

practical. Time to put away childish
things, you said. And then you returned

from the dealership with a new racing
wheel.

Ah, the good old days when we would
break up to make up. I don't want to

break up with someone just to get them
to pay attention to me. Oh, and if you

think arranging this little courtroom
drama is going to bring us back

Rab, you're out of your mind. You
misjudge me, Mrs. Rab.

Colonel Sutter deserves the best legal
counsel out there that just happens to

you. Oh, I smell a rat.

I couldn't say this, but as prosecutor,
I support Colonel Sutter's actions.

I'm in a mood to deal.

Farrell.

Yeah, it's been a while. Last time I saw
you, my neck was on the chopping block,

along with Sarah's.

Why are you here, Colonel?

Oh, it's John now. I took my 20 years
retirement from the Corps and I started

new life.

Next chapter is about to begin.

John.

You're John.

Well, I guess congratulations are in
order. Well, thank you very much.

So did you forget about lunch today?

I waited at the restaurant for about an
hour, called your cell phone, no answer.

I'm so sorry. I had a meeting with a
client.

I thought you were dropping by the
office to get your terminal leave papers

signed. The Admiral assigned me to a new
case, kind of a last -minute thing. Oh,

really? How'd that come up? Don't ask.

Is it going to delay our trip?

Miranda Rapp assures me that we'll be
able to come to a quick resolution.

Oh, so you're representing the other
side.

Just like old times.

Only this time, the arguments stay in
the courtroom.

I have an idea. You two missed lunch, so
did I. Let's grab a bite together.

We'll pass.

We could discuss the case.

Might get you on that train sooner,
Sarah.

So how did you two rediscover each
other, anyway?

Well, a few months ago, John was on the
East Coast doing business, and he looked

me up.

A few quick months and now you're
getting married.

Oh, you forget Sarah and I were
acquainted before. Oh, didn't that come

your court -martial? A little
fraternization back there in Okinawa

her commanding officer?

Not that I can blame you. So what have
you been up to anyway recently, John? I

mean, other than marrying my wife. Ex
-wife.

I conduct guided river rafting tours in
Colorado.

Colorado? Yeah, it's a state right next
to Utah.

He's building us a cabin in the woods.

You sure you know what you're getting
yourself into?

And out of? All alone up there in the
woods.

Does it ever bother you she shot her
first husband? Bother you?

Well, as you say, I never kept a loaded
weapon around the house.

Can we move on?

Thank you.

So, you're getting married this weekend.
Where exactly is this happening? You're

not invited.

We're taking a Zephyr out of Chicago.

It's one of the last great rail journeys
in the United States.

Straight through the Rockies.

And it stops in this little town called
Unity.

It's where John's grandparents got
married. It's where we're going to tie

knot. So about this Sutter case. Yeah,
you said you're willing to deal.

To a point. Give him the severity of the
man's offense.

Alleged offense.

Taking into account his character and
his unblemished record, the government

would be willing to accept.

Dismissal without confinement. He's
eligible for retirement. If he accepts

deal, he loses his pension and his
benefits. If he goes to court, he's

at eight years and 11 years.

You never change, do you? This is your
idea of a deal?

She's a tough one, John.

But I guess you know that, don't you?

Oh, she can be tough when she needs to
be.

Like when she's defending a man who
deserves a commendation, not a court

-martial? Not according to the law.

Well, I'm not a lawyer, Commander.

I just know what's right.

Look, Harm, John and I are going to be
on that train tomorrow, so give me

something I can work with.

Fine. The man is a decorated war hero
after all, and he only made a mistake,

we can all make mistakes, right? You're
living proof of that.

I'm willing to offer a broken sword
early out. Terms?

Non -judicial punishment. The colonel
retires immediately and receives full

benefits. Sounds like a spell out to
this old Marine.

Well, age does afford perspective,
doesn't it, John?

You're damn right.

Well, quitting is still quitting, huh?

Yes, it is, isn't it?

Some people do throw in the towel when
the going gets rough. I'll talk to the

colonel. If he agrees, we agree.

You set me up.

What? Colonel Sutter rejected the deal.
It seems his division commander made a

similar offer a week ago, and he turned
it down, and you knew he'd want to go to

court. Don't you miss this?

What I'll miss is my train.

The Honeymoon Express?

He's lying low -life. Hey, you started
this. You didn't have to waltz through

Jag. You get out of the Admiral's back,
so you leave papers. I'm going to kick

your butt.

I'll look forward to it.

Well, if we're going by Hyde, Admiral,
you're the next victim.

Looking at Bud, I don't think he can
hold off much longer.

Go ahead. Thank you, sir.

Only if Harriet opens hers first, our
fortunes have been intertwined in

and in health.

Come on, you've got to read them out
loud.

Your unspoken desire.

The road not taken. Take it.

It's a match. What are the chances, huh?
Pretty good, sir.

Fate has already thrown them together.

So funny.

Still with us, Commander?

Yes, sir. I was just thinking.

Oh, that one goes in the master bedroom
walk -in closet, please.

Yes, ma 'am.

Baby, I have to run an errand. I'll be
back in about an hour. There you go.

Thank you.

Bud?

Harriet?

How are you? I'm good.

Rich. Rich? My parents died in a boating
accident in July.

I'm sorry.

Left me all the money I could ever need,
but that doesn't buy me an emergency

bathroom remodel.

So that's why you're here plumbing?

My contractor left me high and dry, and
I need a spa installation by Friday for

my housewarming party. I thought you
moved to Florida.

I did.

I moved back.

By Friday? No problem.

Harriet! Mikey, hi.

Wow, last time I saw you was, uh, what
was it, the day you dumped Bud at the

altar? That was in the past, Mikey.

I'm just talking about yesterday.

Anyway, about the bathroom.

Major Clayton, you were the judge
advocate assigned to Colonel Sutter's

You fielded the original complaint from
the detainee regarding Colonel's

actions. Correct.

The detainee reported that Colonel
Sutter twice fired a pistol within six

of his ear for the purpose of extracting
information.

Do the rules of engagement prohibit
abusing prisoners?

Yes, they do.

What is your opinion of Colonel Sutter?

Objection. Counsel seems to be having
trouble sticking to the rules himself.

Rules of evidence don't permit... Goes
to establishing a pattern of behavior,

Your Honor. Counsel can appreciate that.

I'll allow it. The witness will answer
the question.

He's a cowboy, sir. He believes the ends
justify the means.

No further questions.

Your witness, Colonel.

Major, do our enemies in Iraq... Comply
with the rules of war. The enemy there

is fighting an irregular war, ma 'am.
But the Iraqi fedayeen are not on trial

here. They damn well should be.

Colonel, another outburst, I'll hold you
in contempt.

Did Colonel Sutter's actions save the
lives of American personnel?

Fortunately. Nevertheless, rules exist
for a reason.

Oh, so in your opinion, rules and
regulations are more important than

lives.

I have nothing further, Your Honor.

Whatever happened to the Navy, bud?

And your dream of becoming a lawyer.

Well, I kind of lost interest in it
right after you lost interest in me.

not what happened, bud. Well, then why
didn't you want to marry me? And don't

tell me it was because I got beat up by
a pregnant stripper at my bachelor

party. No, at the time, I didn't think
you were mature enough.

Now, I don't think the problem was you.

It was me.

That was some pretty sharp legal
maneuvering today in the courtroom.

Thanks.

You want this clock?

You bought it.

It's a memento from our honeymoon.

Do you want to know what I remember from
my honeymoon?

It rained and you made a zillion cell
phone calls. I was working on a big

My case? At least it was until I married
you, got shipped out of JAG, and

Admiral Chegwin reassigned it. Remember
our first Christmas together? The tree

was right there.

Mostly what I remember is me hauling out
a dry twig on Valentine's Day. Are you

always this bitter?

Loving you was like stepping on a rusty
nail.

You want the bed?

I don't need it. John's building me a
cherry four -poster with a silk canopy.

How quaint.

Nothing wrong with a canopy.

Oh, yeah, it's nice protection for when
the roof leaks.

Nothing John does leak.

I could sell tickets to this museum as
adolescence.

I thought you might like to have this.

Oh, I don't need it. I have my memories.

I have mine, too.

I hope you're not going to give me your
ring back.

How long did you wear yours?

A while. It was like a string around my
finger, reminding me not to look back.

Yeah, we had good times, Meg.

Do you believe in fate, kismet, destiny?

No.

Here with you today, I keep thinking,
what if I told you?

We were meant to be together. I tell
you, you were crazy. Look, I know things

didn't quite work out. You have a gift
for understanding. But what if we were

meant to be together and we just got in
our own way?

What if just doesn't get it done?

I guess I just kept thinking there was
time.

Love can't wait.

And neither can the judge. We're due
back in court in 20 minutes.

I said I will instead of I won't. What
if I said I do instead of I don't? If I

did it again, maybe I'd come home to
you.

Not a cold, empty bed.

Thank you, Miss Simms. Mr. Turner,
please tell me you and I have something

common. I once worked for JAG, too,
although it seems like a lifetime ago.

Well, I'm a recent dropout. You and I
have business to talk about. I have the

agreement terms in my case.

Oh, excuse me a second. My bathroom
guy's here.

You sounded great.

Thank you.

And we're leaving for Paris tomorrow
night, right?

Oh, yes. Don't you worry. The honeymoon
is so on schedule.

Oh, I can't wait.

Marta, that box of photographs goes out
in the garage?

Yes, ma 'am. Thanks.

That's Chris Fisher.

Bud, that German soccer player. Your
soccer fan, Harry? He was a suitor. They

were all suitors. Race car drivers, polo
players, a highlight champion.

I got really popular when I got really
rich.

Broke? Rock.

And it belongs in a museum.

I'm leaving it to the modern in my will.
It's called Girl with a Guitar.

Looks more like a roadkill to me.

Two million dollars worth of roadkill,
Mikey, but who's keeping track?

General Montrose, as Colonel Sutter's
battalion commander, do you believe his

actions violated the Geneva Conventions?

Technically, yes. Yes or no, sir?

Yes. Thank you.

Your witness.

General, isn't it true you waited until
a judge advocate under your command

filed a complaint and only then informed
the chain of command of what had

occurred? That's one way to look at it.
Do you believe Colonel Sutter should be

punished? I think he should be given a
damn medal. War is hell.

You can't play by the rules when your
enemy is duplicitous and underhanded.

say. Objection.

Counsel's testifying, Your Honor. That
was under my breath. And besides, I

object, Your Honor. Counsel is badgering
me.

Counselor, you're flirting with
contempt.

I am not flirting.

Believe me.

No further questions.

Redirect, Your Honor.

Colonel Sutter's actions, sir, are in
clear violation of the UCMJ. Do you not

believe that he should be held
responsible for those actions? Then,

All who wear the uniform should be.

Yes.

Opposing counsel is attempting to muddy
the waters by spreading the blame. She's

blaming Major Clayton. She's blaming
you. But the point is she, too, should

held responsible for her own actions.
Your Honor, where is counsel going with

this? Might be interesting to find out.
My point is...

that we can blame others for our
predicaments, but the truth is we make

bed. Objection, Your Honor. He didn't
make the bed in two years. Let's try to

stand the subject, Counselor. If you had
convinced your client to take the

original deal, you'd be on his effort
already, unless, of course, you don't

to be.

Objection. That was under my breath,
Your Honor. I've lost the unraveling

of the argument here, Counselors. I'm
calling for a recess. The government

rests, Your Honor.

I believe my case has been made.

General, you may step down.

Well, that went well.

I believe it's your turn, sir.

Go ahead, Colonel.

Dodging fate?

No, just stale cookies.

I'll do it if you do it, sir. For fun.

Your unspoken desire is the road not
taken.

Fame? Fortune?

At least they're consistent at this
joint. You didn't have the Kung Pao

I told you this thing is dumb.

I don't know, sir. Haven't you ever
wondered about the road not taken?

You have, haven't you, sir?

It's owner of Bud's Hot Tubs, and have I
got something for you.

AJ?

Come quick. You've got to see this.
Quick before it's gone.

Isn't that the young man from your Jack
command that we had over for dinner?

In the flesh, Warren Roberts, when he
left the Navy, it was a big mistake.

I mean, anybody.

I'm a monkey's uncle.

I swear we're not related.

Here, AJ, make time for the monkey. I'm
already late.

Stop on by. I'll make you a spa -rippin'
deal.

And remember, when things get hot, Bud
gets in the tub.

Well, how the hell did you lose her,
Wong?

No, no, no. I don't want to hear
excuses.

You put every available man on it. You
can start by finding that middleman of

hers, Stan Rockman.

My defendant skipped bail.

AJ, you're a lawyer, not a bounty
hunter. When you retired from the Navy,

thought you were going to ease up a bit.

What, this? This is your big case? She's
such a sweet -looking girl. Hardly.

Back under my watch.

A couple Christmases ago, Petty Officer
Jennifer Coates went UA from the Navy.

Now she's part of an art theft ring.

They take orders from wealthy collectors
in Asia and fill them by sending them

from museums and private collectors.

A .K .A. the Catwoman.

That's what the press is calling her.
Pretty damn silly.

Do you think she's still in the area?

I know she is. She's after a rare...

Shakespeare folio for a client
Singapore.

Shakespeare? Oh, A .J., it sounds like
you could use my help.

No.

H. Sims of 29 Airedale Drive, purchased
at auction, bears the armorial bookplate

of the third Earl of Palliser, who was
afterwards the Duke of Omnium.

He acquired the book circa 1868.

The name Palliser is inscribed across
the top of the opening of the Merry

of Windsor.

How much do you think we can get, Stan?
I got some buyers in Japan willing to

pay three mil. You know, it's a status
thing. It's like paying five large for a

bottle of Romney Conte.

So, uh, the Sims Mansion, it's got
security, right?

Oh, yes.

Motion sensors, state -of -the -art
alarm system.

And you know this how?

I was casing the joint yesterday as a
cook's assistant.

I got a job with the caterer, Harriet,
and I'm hired for a big party on Friday.

I'll be passing canapes all night long.
What would you like?

Mai Tai. Let me have a martini. So, is
there anything else there worth

A couple of Renoir pastels.

Very nice.

A Brock oil, girl with a guitar.

After we lift the folio, we can pay the
RSMs a second visit.

Excellent. What's my cut in all this?

Ten percent of the net.

Fifteen of the gross. I take all the
risk. And I move all the merchandise.

Without me, sweetheart, you're nothing.

Isn't it about time you introduced me to
your contacts?

Oh.

Come on, Jen.

Jeez, you just jumped bail. I mean, I
shouldn't even be seen with you.

Stan, you don't know this yet, but I'm
your future.

Captain Rogers, you served under Colonel
Sutter for ten months. In your

estimation, is he a man of good
character?

I've never known a finer leader, ma 'am.
Thank you. No further questions.

Good character is often used to excuse
conduct unbecoming, is it not, Captain?

Objection. Counsel is testifying. I'll
rephrase, Your Honor.

A person of fine character is capable.

of unethical and ill -advised behavior.

Do you agree?

I suppose it's possible, Commander.

When men of good character act poorly,
they should be held accountable for

actions. Correct?

Yes, sir. And they should be aware of
how those actions, no matter how well

intended, affect those around them. And
they should never be too proud to admit

when they've overstepped and been wrong.

I agree with that statement, sir. Do
you?

Asked and answered.

Thank you, Captain.

Nothing further.

Bud, I just want to thank you so much
for everything.

The bathroom looks great.

Let's talk about the bill.

Okay, no charge.

Don't be silly, Bud.

You and Mikey worked hard. And your
figure.

I can afford it. How about a million
bucks?

Oh, okay.

I'll just write a check.

Address is on the invoice. Mail at your
convenience.

Bud, can I confess something to you?

I have all the money in the world, and
it still feels like something's missing.

Like everything's missing.

What about you?

I'm still the same man, Harriet. I watch
Star Trek reruns every Saturday night.

All those half -naked girls in your hot
tub commercials you never... Found

anyone? No.

At least you don't have a carton full of
bad memories.

I didn't say that.

Why don't you and Mikey come to the
party?

You never know what fate has in store.
You might find the girl of your dreams.

Maybe I already have.

Taking a trip down memory lane?

Every now and then I find myself
thinking that you're not worse than what

happened to me.

Mind if I get personal?

Yes, but I doubt it'll stop you.

I meant what I said this morning in the
courtroom.

I'll never understand why it's so hard
for you to be nice.

Look, you need to do what you feel is
right, and if that means living in a

frigid cabin in the wilds of Colorado,
so be it. I like you when you're like

this. Married the wrong guy once, Mac.

Just be sure you're not making the same
mistake again.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Well, I'll knock next time.

No, there won't be a next time. The
commander was just apologizing for his

deficiencies and wishing us a happy life
together.

The important.

Oh.

Everything working out between you and
the code?

It's an ongoing process. I assume
you're...

Talking about the Article 32 battle.

Isn't that what we were talking about,
Commander?

You told me it was finished between you
and Graham. It is.

That's not what I just saw.

Well, look again.

Imagine my surprise to discover the
purchaser of this folio is an

of my husband.

How is the Admiral?

Preoccupied, grumpy, never home for
dinner. Good to see some things never

change.

I'm so grateful to have a chance to see
this folio for my research.

Too bad someone wrote all over it. No,
not really.

You see, that's what separates one folio
from another.

The marginalia gives us an idea as to
the reading habits of each of its

One of its readers, probably the Lady
Glencora, writes that Hamlet reminds her

of her husband Plantagenet, always
dithering.

It places the book in social context.

You're very lucky to have this.

Well, to be honest, I bought this on the
advice of my financial planner.

It's safer than stock.

Don't forget to invite the Admiral to my
housewarming, okay? Oh, I'll make sure

that we attend.

Meanwhile, will you make sure that you
really do keep this folio safe?

Not to worry.

Anyone tries to budge this bad boy, in
for a rude surprise.

That is, if they make it this far.

The motion detector up there will go off
if anything larger than a housefly

buzzes this display case.

The folio is safe.

Colonel Sutter, is it true that during
the first Gulf War as a major, you

commandeered an Iraqi tank and used it
to draw out the enemy? I did.

It proved quite effective.

No violation of orders, Colonel. And
prior to that, during the Panama

you were in similar violation when you
appropriated a pair of night vision

goggles from an army.

Objection, Your Honor. I don't see the
point of this litany. The point is, your

client has established a pattern of
making the same mistakes over and over.

Like you should understand.

Oh, so this is about me now. Well, I'm
not the one running away.

Do you ever think before you speak?

I'd like to see counsel at the bench for
a sidebar.

What is going on here? If he's trying to
say that people don't change, he's

right. He is still the same underhanded,
deceptive jerk he always was. Still

speaking through intermediaries? Have
you two considered counseling?

Total bust. Our marriage counselor quit.
I want you two to find a way to solve

your problems so we can continue on. We
have been trying to solve them for two

years, Your Honor. Maybe it's time to
move on. Oh, I think these issues can be

resolved. I don't.

Just when you open up, just when I think
that maybe we have a shot, you find a

way to screw things up. And I'm tired of
this dance. We apologize, Your Honor.

There will be no more bickering.

This is the end.

The defense rests.

This hearing will stand in recess until
0900. Tomorrow, Colonel, you may step

down.

No, I can't. I can only eat soy cookies.
I'm allergic.

Oh, talk about a rough childhood, sir.

Colonel, you haven't cracked a cookie
yet.

That's right, Mac.

Your unspoken desire is the road not
taken.

Taken. What does it say?

Nothing. It's silly.

Well, your face says something
different.

Fine, I'll read it. It says, wherever
you go, there you are.

The accused will rise.

Colonel Sutter, I've heard many things
in this court that have greatly troubled

me. Lucky for you, none of them have
anything to do with this case.

Counselors... Were it not that I found
your marital squabblings exceedingly

entertaining, I would consider
disciplinary action.

Colonel, I've determined that though a
violation did occur, circumstances

mitigate against recommending this
matter to court -martial. My

is for administrative action only.

This hearing is adjourned.

I got us on the afternoon train.

Whoa, whoa, I thought you were going to
Harriet's this afternoon for the

housewarming party. Already sent my
regrets.

Oh, that's a shame.

Moving all the way across the country,
you're never going to see those good

folks again.

You know, the commander has a point,
Sarah. You don't want to leave any

unfinished business.

It's settled then.

Boys are smoking today.

They're not the only ones.

Really? I thought I was a little off
when I first met.

Couldn't have been better.

Hi. How are you? This is my fiance, John
Farrow.

So nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

Heard so much about you. Oh, well,
likewise.

Wonderful place you're in. Thank you so
much. Not ready to throw the towel yet.

Why should I? Because you're in the 13th
round of a 12 -round fight.

You think you still got a shot?

She came to the party, didn't she? I
didn't twist her arm.

Much.

Admiral, since you've delighted in
giving me enough rope to hang myself,

you say you cut me just a little more
slack?

What's in it for me?

Rebound potential.

Excuse me, I don't mean to bother you,
but I have a small plumbing problem.

Can I see you for just a second?

Sure, let's go take a look. We'll be
right back.

All right.

Order? Yeah, sure.

No, you surprised me.

I can't believe Harry would hire a
felon.

Because you stole my heart from clear
across the room.

Long, we don't find this girl. We don't
have a case. Is that clear?

She's here, AJ.

Who?

Your elusive cat. I saw her.

Her imagination is getting the best of
you again.

Remember when you thought the...

Hey, crossing guard was a hit woman.

There. That is not my imagination.

Meredith, please.

Oh, I like that.

Uh -huh.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Colonel Farrell, I don't believe you've
met Admiral Krennic. Your reputation

precedes the Colonel Farrell.

Terminal leave, Mac.

Signed, sealed, and delivered.

Thank you, Admiral. I believe this
merits a toast, if the gentleman will be

kind.

You've got two very good men there.

H2s will love to have the chance.

I made my choice.

Are you sure about that?

If you keep chasing your past, your
future's going to walk right out the

It's Jen. I'm in.

Give me five.

It's me.

Rock and roll.

I don't understand, AJ.

You know, I know I do stupid things
sometimes.

I'm afraid that one day I'm going to do
something so stupid you're going to stop

loving me. That's ridiculous.

That'll never happen.

Believe in fate?

I'm a rationalist, AJ.

Well, I do.

I believe if people are meant to be
together, they will be. No matter what

obstacles. If we were on opposite sides
of the world, we would find a way to be

with each other.

You think?

Yes.

One last turn.

There you go.

Thank you.

Sucks not having a man in my life.

But does it bother you that I have a lot
more money than you do?

I hate to break it to you, Harriet, but
I probably have more money than you do.

I call it a fluke or a good fortune, but
I am the Spana King.

I have 17 outlets in five states, and I
hold a patent on the Miracle Tickler.

It's a special little jet that produces
a... Tickling effect?

If all of my no's had been yes's, where
would my path have led?

I confess that unless I missed my guess,
I'd be someplace else instead.

Come on.

I'm coming, I'm coming.

I got little legs and they don't go that
fast.

Is that it?

No, it's poor Richard's almanac. Oh,
cute, real cute.

Hurry up. Relax.

I wanted you that I fooled on me.

What if I'd let you under my skin?

It's so easy to end. What's so hard to
begin? Don't mind me if I nurse my

illusion.

Going away, President.

Divorce papers.

You can file them with your terminal
leave papers.

Your retirement orders and every other
burn bridge from your past unhappy life.

You just won't give up. Hey, I'm not the
one giving up, Mac. You are. Oh, I'm

moving on.

Escaping?

Admit it.

Throwing away your career, running off
to the woods with Farrell?

It's just not you.

In your opinion. Hey, you can't deny who
you are, Mac. You can't deny us. There

is no us, Harm. And what you're doing
right now, this is exactly you.

You're not committing until I've got one
foot out the door.

Even your pal Krennic thinks it's time
for me to walk out of here with Farrow.

They make a lovely couple, of course.
Looks can be deceiving.

They were married for two years. Oh, I
wouldn't worry about it.

The commander's blown his last chance
and he knows it.

Well, a man has a strange way of
accepting defeat.

Oh, it's just pride.

Surely an old Marine can understand
that.

So you've won, Colonel.

It's time to claim your spoil while you
still can.

Women don't like to be tested. We're
leaving.

Our train doesn't leave until... Now,
John!

If that's what you want.

Congratulations.

You better go. You're making a mistake.

The rest of your life, you'll wonder.

What if?

Destiny has spoken, my friend.

My dad says destiny speaks to the
choices we make.

You really think you saw?

That white jacket at the end, that
belongs to my wife. Oh, she used to be

wife.

She is.

Thank you. Yes, sir.

I

don't

get what people see in these old
scribbles.

I know.

Hold it right there.

Oh, hold it, my ass.

I wouldn't do that.

I'm a member of the Falls Church Ladies
Rotarian Pistol Club. Why do I think

that club is not accredited?

Try me.

Who cares? It's not loaded anyway.

You're such an idiot, Pam. That's not a
real gun.

And I'm not a real thief.

Hey, what the hell is going on?

Nice work, Jennifer.

Wong, what the hell are you doing here?
I'm sorry, AJ. To make this thing work,

I had to leave you out of the loop.

You mean she's... In on it.

Sorry to disappoint you, Mr.

Prosecutor. Oh, terrific.

See? Maybe next time you won't be so
quick to underestimate the power of my

imagination. I live in fear of the power
of your imagination.

The train's sold out, Sarah.

I can't just buy you a new ticket.

John, I'm so sorry, and you've been so
great about everything, especially

Holland.

Well, he's doing what any man would do.

Can't be easy watching the woman you
love walk out of your life.

Marked out of that party so quickly.

You got your jacket and your ticket.

Thanks. My pride wouldn't let me walk
back in.

Appreciate it. I know it wasn't easy
coming here. I just wanted to make sure

got to wherever it is she wants to go.

Why are you doing that?

Because it's the right thing to do.

Now stop trying to stop me.

You ready, Sarah?

I'm sorry, John.

Fate just keeps finding a way to
intervene.

Well, maybe you just weren't holding on
strong enough.

Goodbye, Sarah.

I'm ready.

Are you?

Commander.

We're ready to go. You with us?

Yes, sir.

Oh, I forgot my coat.

I'll get it.

You alright?

Yeah, I was just pondering the road not
taken.
