This is not my ship, the cargo, it is not mine either.

Cop being through the cotton dog up there. I'm no expert, sir, but that

like heroin to me.

Check the other door.

Who the hell are you? I'm Simon Tanvir. I'm with MI6.

You know, Rab, only you could go out to help fine -tune the rules of engagement

for Afghanistan and find yourself in the middle of a smuggling ring.

Oh, sir, our war on terror keeps colliding with our war on drugs.

The Wake Island was the closest coalition vessel at the time, an MI6

aboard a Pakistani freighter ready for a raid, sir.

What do you know about the guy?

Well, Navy intel says he's one of the best, Admiral. He was behind the arrest

several top Pakistani terrorists. However, sir, he is a spy and not an

investigator. I could really use someone who knows the drill.

All right, so I'll have Mac on the next flight out of Andrews. Is there a

terrorist connection to the drug?

Well, the drug captain says there is, sir. He's cooperating. He claims he

for a Karachi -based drug lord with ties to Al -Qaeda.

Sounds like a valuable witness.

supervising his arrest instead of maintaining chain of custody over the

cash report.

And?

And, sir, the ship's log documented the cargo as weighing 195 kilos. However, by

the time we'd inventoried and weighed it, it was one kilo short.

A kilo?

Yes, sir.

Rab, the outcome of this investigation could affect the Navy's credibility in

these drug seizures. Do you understand me?

Loud and clear, Admiral.

Amp white.

Okay.

Amp diamond.

Lieutenant Colonel McKenzie, this is Officer Simon Tanvir, the British Sea

Conservancy. Colonel. Nice to meet you.

Officer Tanvir is working a case with us. I thought he could assist you in

interview. Oh, thank you, Commander, for taking the initiative to think my

duties through for me.

Petty Officer, will you show the Colonel to the legal office? I'm on it on the

bridge. I'll let the Captain know you're here, and he'll check in on you later.

All right.

So tell me, Officer Tanvir, how is it that you manage to infiltrate a closed

community like the terrorist drug trade?

I'm typecast for the park.

My parents are from Quetta. I speak seven different dialects of Urdu.

And I guess I'm persistent.

I've heard the good ones are.

Well, I give your Navy most of the credit for bringing in the drug ship.

Any chance you'd call me Simon?

Simon, from what I've been told about you at my briefing, you are awfully

humble.

Corporal Witherspoon beat out 50 ,000 other singers to win the competition.

Then he signed a seven -album record deal without reading the fine print.

His unit's now deploying, and his record company is threatening to sue him for

breach of contract.

He could end up owing them a lot of money that he doesn't have.

The Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act was primarily meant to protect

people from losing their homes and such while they're in country. A record deal

falls outside its parameters.

Exactly, sir.

Corporal Witherspoon is at risk.

I gotta convince the record company to either postpone the corporal's recording

dates or let him out of his contract.

Petty officer.

I'm sorry, Commander. I was just hoping you'd speak to the lieutenant.

Is it true that you're going to meet Corporal Witherspoon?

I couldn't believe it when a Marine won the American Icon competition. I think

he's just... Dreamy.

A real role model, sir.

Do you think you could get his autograph for me, sir?

Well, I doubt that he could deny his own lawyer an autograph.

Thank you, sir.

Prospect of money can change people, Lieutenant.

You know, if a Reese has made and lost her life savings three times over, bad

label deals, bad management, bad agenting, people she trusted.

If you go to L .A. to confront the label lieutenant, you take your sunscreen and

your shark repellent.

We've been through this before, Commander.

The SEAL secured the freighter and rounded up the prisoners aboard the drug

ship. You were there, sir.

The drug cash was flown to the Wake Island and taken below deck.

I supervised the weighing and counting of the drug parcels in the cargo hold,

and then I secured the cash myself.

I can't explain how we came up short, sir. Pure heroin.

Street value is somewhere near half a million dollars.

Pretty tempting to a guy who's in debt.

You left your ex with a lot of bills when you deployed.

Now she's trying to execute a judgment on your military pay.

Half a mil will come in pretty handy.

You are very good. You deceived me fully.

You were the best man on my crew.

And you're lovely, madam. I look forward to speaking with your CIA about my

employer. My wish is to go live with my brother in Chicago.

My wife will be so happy that I'm arrested.

I'm no smuggler. I'm just a family man from Gorimar.

What about the rest of the men on your crew?

Any of them the type who would have stolen a kilo of heroin?

All of them are.

Sea dogs, everyone.

They were only searched for weapons when they were arrested.

I will need to do a more invasive search, if you know what I mean.

You Brits are the ones leading the charge and criticizing the U .S.

its handling of prisoners at Gitmo.

I need to know you're on board with this.

Bring it on, Colonel.

You go by Mac, right?

With my friends.

Where I'm from, that's a raincoat.

How about Sarah?

I thought you said he was going to be at work.

Well, I thought he was.

But you've tried so hard to get Mikey to forgive you.

I just couldn't stand it anymore, and I asked him up here to try and talk some

sense into him.

Did it work?

You two infuriate me.

So if you need a referee, I'll be in the kitchen.

Excuse me.

Mikey. Mike.

I'm sorry.

Okay, I've been trying to tell you this, but you're just stubborn as a mule.

Okay, we both are, all right?

We probably got it from Dad.

But I don't think you would have called me worthless if you didn't believe it a

little bit.

But I don't want my nephews thinking I'm not around because I don't care.

End of Miss Harriet.

So for everybody's sake, I think you and I should find a way to get along.

You know, act like brothers again.

Just act?

That's all I can promise right now.

Well, if I agree to this for now, you promise we'll try to put

this behind us?

I'll look in on Harry and the boys while you're out of town.

Promise I won't lose anybody this time.

What's in California, anyway?

Oh, uh, a Marine has a contract dispute with the owner of some record company.

Cosmo Disc?

Howie Black?

Yeah. Buddy's a living legend. He signed half the bands in my CD collection.

Really?

My brother hanging with Howie Black.

We went to the drug ship to prepare the heroin for transport, sir.

We strapped the package tight, fixed the load lines to it, and we had not done a

preliminary count because we had intel. We knew the package could not be

trapped. We prepared the load, gave the pilot, Lieutenant West, the weight and

dimensions, and we hooked the pendant, Lieutenant West, external to the load,

sir. Petty Officer Whitcash, make sure it was within your limits. Do you

remember the number?

479 pounds, 3 ounces exactly.

Petty Officer Thurman, was this pallet part of the load you weighed aboard the

freighter? Yes, Commander. The heroin parcels were secured to it.

51 pounds, 8 ounces, plus 195 kilos. That's 481

.4 pounds.

The load weighed 2 .2 pounds less than that.

One kilo.

The heroin was missing before the load was moved to Wake Island.

Your master at arms is taking his time.

Not the kind of thing you want to rush.

Good call, Colonel.

Guy had nearly a quarter ounce on him.

Great. Tag that as evidence and give us a minute with him.

Yes, ma 'am.

This guy, Aga, worst of the bad.

Even by the standards of this motley crew, he was a malcontent.

You look like the dog's dinner, Aga.

A dog like you would know.

See? You Yanks don't have the monopoly on spreading joy around the world.

You're already in jail. Just tell us if you took the missing kilo.

Why? So your navy will not seem unprofessional in its piracy?

So you can tell your British friends it was not your fault their evidence was

taken?

I have no reason to tell you anything.

And you, a baki who lets himself be used as a tool for the colonialists. Ah,

you've had 57 years to get over that one.

We can offer you leniency.

I do not trust either of you.

Your promises are as false as your pretext for war.

You are exactly the kind of rubbish that makes good men like my father look like

criminals.

Hey!

Simon!

What the hell was that? That was an interrogation tactic. Something you in

uniform can't get away with.

Your CIA does this.

And more.

Commander Rapp said I'd find you here.

Yeah, instead of beating a confession out of a prisoner.

Our new best friend, the freighter captain, is telling Aga that unless he

us a straight answer about the missing heroine, he'll rat him out to the

Pakistani drug lord as a thief.

That's smart.

That man would just as soon slice and dice you as take tea with you.

Are you sure you haven't been to spy school, Sarah?

You're in a better mood than last night.

Look, Aga's not the type to give anything up without a fight. I knew

acted accordingly.

You think pretending to be like one of them makes you start forgetting what

you're on?

You're not asking about me, are you?

I'm only here because I can read people.

Who's the spy, sir?

Who are you really worried about?

Sir, madam.

He says he'd rather take his chances with the drug lord in Karachi than to be

seen cooperating with the West.

He clearly does not know what he's missing.

I've found you, so -called infidels, to be most gracious hosts.

Argo stays on the suspect list. We need to look at personnel files for this

ship. Those who were with the cash before it was moved.

Ooh, some party.

Yeah, they look like hunters around a four -point buck.

How's Tanvir working out?

Oh, he could use a vacation.

So could we all.

However the Admiral insists we involve him in the investigation.

That shouldn't be a problem for you, though.

You have a way with spies.

I'll be topside.

I get the feeling your partner doesn't like me.

You just deal with stress in a way we're not used to.

Because that isn't the way that Clayton Webb blows off steam?

Well, I knew you had some intel connection after what you said in the

I rang Vauxhall Cross on the ship to shore. Seems you've done some undercover

work yourself in Paraguay with Webb.

I've never had the pleasure of meeting the man, but he's known in my circle.

I went in to act as his wife.

Still acting as his wife?

I know I should have asked my chain of command, Lieutenant.

It was a dumb move thinking I could be a singer and still be in the Corps.

No, signing a contract without consulting an attorney, that's a dumb

Wanting to sing.

You know, I sing at my church, Corporal, and my wife thinks I'm pretty good.

So you know why I was so flattered Mr. Black wanted to sign me.

Listen, Corporal, can you tell me without reservation that you want to go

your unit to the Gulf? Yes, sir.

Without reservation, sir.

Adrenaline was running high, sir. Well, it's not every day a field detachment

gets to handle a multi -million dollar drug seizure.

Maybe in this celebratory mood, somebody got sloppy.

Got sloppy?

Or got greedy, sir?

I deserve to know what you're accusing me of.

Well, I'm not accusing you of anything, Lieutenant. However, there was a kilo of

heroin missing from the cache before it was delivered to the LHA.

And you think one of us took it?

Well, the drugs were sealed in plastic when you found them.

They were compromised, and there was a kilo of methane when it was delivered to

this ship.

It wasn't one of us, Commander.

You've got to be honest with yourself, Lieutenant. There were six men in your

unit. Was there ever a time when one of them had an opportunity to take the

drugs?

SEALs are not DEA agents.

We're not trained for drug interdiction, evidence handling, or prisoner

transport.

But it seemed at the time, like processing off the Tanvir, a potential

to link drugs with terrorists was the priority.

I left Petty Officer Wilkes in charge of the drug cache.

How long was he alone with the drugs? Maybe 20 minutes, sir.

I left him in that position because I trusted him, Commander.

I still do.

You know,

I'm impressed Webb can keep a girlfriend, Sarah. I've never known an

who could.

Guess all you single spies get together once in a while, commiserate.

Me, a couple of Musadis I met in Syria, and a former Soviet anorak I use as a

bug planter sometimes.

We get bevied up and talk about the girls we haven't loved before.

How long have you been out in the cold, Simon?

Well, I remember the day the U .S. started bombing in Afghanistan, because

there, picking up a load of opium.

That was three years ago.

Long time to be undercover.

You ever been caught?

Tortured?

Is that what happened to Webb?

Look, what you're afraid of with Webb, Sarah, it happens slowly.

You notice one day that you haven't slept for a week, and you start to fancy

drink more often than you used to.

Maybe one day you leave your wife, because if you don't, you're afraid of

you might do to her.

Has he hit you, Sarah?

Is he drinking?

No to the first question.

And he has been drinking more than usual lately.

Since Paraguay.

Since Paraguay.

Petty Officer Randy Wilk says in this report that you saved his life.

What about him?

Juvenile record with an enlistment waiver from Naval Recruiting Command.

Possession intent to sell.

Four marijuana joints.

A pot isn't heroin.

And I doubt your UCMJ makes a former bust admissible in court.

You're right about that.

Wilkes never would have made it in the Navy if the judge really believed he was

selling, but it's something.

Maybe cause to look further? If Wilkes was in contact with the heroin after he

left the freighter, it might show up in an opiate test of his clothing.

Good dinner! Grant Roberts, are you questioning my patriotism? Because I

invented patriotism. I am the American dream.

No, of course, Mr. Black. All that I'm requesting is that you postpone the

corporal's recording date until after he returns from the Gulf.

Pop Star Marine.

Pop Star Marine? That's a whole campaign. It's not going to work if I

drop the album after the war ends, is it? Besides, it's a recruitment

Lieutenant. It's like a win -win situation. Are you following me on this?

done here, Lieutenant? No, no, no, we're not done.

Look, the corporal is going to Iraq with his unit, whether you like it or not.

At question is whether you're going to sue him while he is gone.

Look, he's only 22, and you're threatening to ruin his life.

At 22, if the Marine Corps thinks he's old enough to fight, then I make the

logical assumption he's old enough to read a contract which he has signed.

you very much.

Mr. Black?

I got a lunch to go to. It's after four o 'clock. Third lunch today. Nothing

happens in this town unless it's done over lunch. Learn that and you'll go

Chastity will validate your parking. I took a taxi.

Ciao.

Hey, it's the Quantum Leap guy.

There were traces of heroin on your clothing, Penny Officer.

You're the only one in the compartment with a prior drug arrest.

I was... 16 when I was arrested, Commander. I learned a lesson from it.

why I left home and joined the Navy. Please.

Sir.

Ma 'am.

I didn't take the heroin.

Is there anything you'd like to tell us before we start the search?

We're in a mood to deal if you are.

All right, let's get to it.

Well, well, well.

Well, you just gave your CEO reason to convene in Article 32.

Take him into custody, Petty Officer, and then send somebody to secure the

evidence.

We'll recommend a hearing aboard ship immediately so you can return to London.

I appreciate the hospitality, but I've lingered long enough.

You're a witness, Canberra.

And I'll happily provide my testimony in writing as soon as I get home. You'll

remain on board for the hearing if I have to chain you to Iraq.

Was that really necessary?

I would have thought he'd want to remain aboard with you as long as possible.

Finding out I have a boyfriend seems to have dampened his enthusiasm.

So it's official now, you and Webb.

Why are we talking about him?

Well, you keep saying that he won't talk about himself.

And along comes his British counterpart, and you two get awfully cozy. Maybe

you're trying to gain a little insight into Webb's way of life.

Well, didn't this one come together by the numbers? Commander, you'll be

defending. Colonel, you'll prosecute Petty Officer Wolfe.

Aye, sir. Aye, sir.

How's James Bond?

Officer Tanveer is cooperating. Well, that's a matter of opinion.

Disagreement. How novel.

Well, Colonel, you must have a response.

I don't feel the need to defend my opinion of Tanveer. But you will

and the commander will take exception.

Oh, you say you won't, but you can't help yourself. Both of you. Sir, in all

fairness, the commander and I have worked together successfully.

Luck and skills make up for your occasional lapses in professionalism.

it might inspire you to know that everyone from the Pentagon to Whitehall

vested interest in your handling of this case.

Please, please, give me a prize.

We finally made him snap.

I think the SECNAV is pressuring him to resolve this in a way that won't

embarrass the Navy.

Well, then why didn't he just say so?

He backs the bothering you for a while now. No, I'm fine. It's just a battle

scar from tangling with Sadiq.

I have a spy to prep for his testimony.

We had a meeting two hours ago.

Oh, I'm knackered, Sarah.

You know, Commander Rabb doesn't think you're taking this case seriously. I'm

starting to agree.

God forbid I should offend the mighty Commander Rabb.

What's the deal with you two, anyway?

See a diversion for when Webb's out of town?

That was totally uncalled for. We don't know each other that well, Simon.

Sarah, Sarah, I'm so sorry.

Look, look, I'm just... I'm just exhausted.

Please forgive me.

How much heroin was on board the Zara Khan when she was raided by Petty

Wilkes' sealed attachment?

195 kilos.

Sir, Mr. Samad's logbook confirming the same has been entered into evidence as

Government Exhibit 1.

So noted, Colonel.

What you do is illegal.

Why keep such incriminating records?

I feared my employer more than I feared the law.

It is a stupid sailor who transports another man's drugs without keeping a

eye on them.

How was the heroin packaged for shipment?

Parcels weighing one kilo each were wrapped in cellophane. Then the whole of

those packages were sealed in plastic.

Sealing the cargo in plastic also ensured that my most disagreeable crew

tampering with it.

I checked the load two hours before your seals came.

Was the package intact?

Yes, madam.

I know it was, without a doubt.

My life depended on it.

Thank you.

No further questions.

I have no questions for this witness.

Mike, I'm glad I got a hold of you. You're my resident Howie Black expert.

Have you met him yet?

Yeah, but it's like we speak a different language.

Of course you speak a different language.

But you and I are used to a world where there's order.

In the Navy, you know what's expected of you. You move your way up the ladder at

regular intervals.

There's no rules in Mr. Black's world.

Yeah, well, I'm learning that the hard way.

How did Black start out in the mail?

Five years later, he was the vice president of the very same record

now owns.

So are you saying that I should just give up?

No, no. What I'm saying is if you want to win this, then you're going to have

play by his rules of engagement, you know?

What do you know about the guy?

I know he likes to go to lunch.

So make lunch your battleground.

Meet the man on his own terms.

Oh, and for Pete's sake, bud, don't let him intimidate you. So we talked to

Iceberg into forking over all the publishing on Straight Outta

Okay,

Mike.

I'm just about ready to go take on a living legend.

Thanks.

I wiped a surface test paper across Petty Officer Wilk's shirt and then

the reagent.

The test paper turned purple.

Indicating what?

Residue of an opiate, ma 'am.

Thank you, Chief Tracy.

Chief, what is your medical specialty?

I'm a technician, Commander.

And what does that entail?

I process blood and urine samples, biopsy materials, swab cultures, and the

like. So you're not used to testing for illicit narcotics, then?

No, sir.

Our medical department here is set up to treat wounded personnel.

Who else had access to Pediatric World's shirt as it was being tested?

Just the other technicians.

And the doctors and nurses, I guess.

Patients?

I suppose so, sir.

Then it would be fair to say that the medical department of the USS Wake

does not have the security of a crime lab.

No, Commander.

Does it in fact have any security at all?

Just the locks on the pharmaceuticals. Everything else is pretty accessible.

And sometimes things go missing.

Thank you, Keir. I'm afraid to quit.

This hearing is in recess until 0900 tomorrow.

Thank you for joining me for one of your lunches today, Mr. Black. Well, thank

you for the invitation, Lieutenant. I suggest that you get this Kobe beef.

fantastic. Of course, the sticker shot on that steak's a killer, but it's worth

every dime.

Waiter! Are you ready, sir?

How you doing? Good.

Can I get the Kobe beef?

There you go. Thanks.

I guess I'll have the miso soup and... Or water.

Well, I have to hand it to you, Lieutenant. You're a top ten with a

persistence. Do you get sort of overtime pay for that?

Mr. Black, not only am I not getting overtime, but I'm not being reimbursed

the 60 bucks of Japanese cow you're about to enjoy.

When you work for the Navy, you're rewarded in other ways.

We believe in fraternity, the ability and willingness to sacrifice for others.

Well, you see, the thing is that the corporal...

He has star quality. Star quality. Do you know how hard that is to find, man?

But he's also a highly trained Marine who's willing to fight for his country,

and that doesn't grow on trees either.

I'll tell you what. Why don't you come down to Camp Pendleton?

See him in action. See for yourself.

Come to Camp... You see, I'm a very busy man. I mean, how's about a month from

Thursday? Do you know what I'm saying, Lieutenant?

He deploys in 48 hours.

That is a dreadful shame.

Well, Mr. Blackie, you really leave me no other choice.

See, the war on terror has broken down a number of bureaucratic boundaries that

has given the military unprecedented access to a number of other governmental

agencies. The IRS, for instance. And I'm sure that the Treasury Department would

have no problem helping the DOD in making sure that Corporal Witherspoon

in good standing with both the Marines and his record company, even if that

includes a complete audit of said record company.

Petty Officer Wilkes and I secured the cargo hold after a brief confrontation

with several crewmen, during which Officer Tanvir identified himself.

I wasn't sure it wasn't a trick, so I asked him to join me on deck. That way

could be the first to be interrogated by Commander Rapp.

I knew a second helo wasn't bound to take the detainees back to the ship's

and to be honest, I didn't know what else to do with the man.

So you left Petty Officer Wilkes alone in the cargo hold?

Yes, ma 'am.

No further questions.

Lieutenant, how long has Petty Officer Wilkes served under you? Almost a year,

Commander. How well do you feel you know him?

Very well.

In Special Ops, knowing who you can count on and who you can't is something

have to determine right away.

I'd say I know the Petty Officer as well as I know any man.

I take him at his word.

Has he offered you any explanation as to what happened?

He said he didn't do it.

And I don't see how he could have.

I don't see how anyone could have.

After I left the prisoners with you, Commander, I went back down to tell the

petty officer he could stand down.

The petty officers from the Wake Island had arrived, and they were to prepare

the drug cash for transport.

That load was completely intact.

No sign of tampering.

So unless the petty officer is Houdini, he isn't your man.

He shouldn't even be the one having to defend himself here today.

As a senior officer on that mission, I should.

Thank you, Lieutenant.

Redirector. Yes, Colonel.

You said you knew Petty Officer Wilkes as well as you know any man, and that

believed him when he denied taking a kilo of heroin and hiding it in his

quarters. I stand by what I said, ma 'am. Did you also know about his

drug arrest?

No, Colonel.

I did not.

Well, doesn't that make you wonder what else he might be hiding from you?

Objection. Relevance. Sir, the commander opened the door to this line of

questioning when he asked the lieutenant for a character reference of the

accused. I agree, Colonel.

Overruled.

I could tell we were near some American naval activity because I'd seen the

overflights. I figured it was as good a time as any to pull the cord.

That is, to contact my handler in Cooch on the shortwave.

And he was to contact the nearest Coalition naval vessel?

Yes. That man, who ironically dwells in a section of India known for its wild

ass sanctuary, put to get on the line to a ship.

Could you give the investigating officer the chronology of events after that?

Yeah, I organized a piss -up with some grain alcohol I'd stashed aboard to take

the crew off its guard.

You were in the cargo hold when the SEALs breached it. Lieutenant Gaston

testified that it was because of you Petty Officer Wilkes was left alone with

the drugs.

Yes, I went topside with a lieutenant, and that's when your petty officer took

the kilo.

Objection. Witness assumes facts, not an evidence, Captain.

Colonel McKenzie, can you keep your witness on track?

Apparently not.

No further questions?

Officer Tanvir, you said it was ironic that your handler lived near a wild ass

preserve. Why? Because he is one.

I've been in place for the duration.

Commander, that's too long.

And you blame your handler for keeping you undercover too long.

Relevant, sir.

May I have some latitude, Your Honor?

Tie this up in short order, Commander, or get off the subject.

Yes, sir.

Why do you think your handler left you undercover so long? It's because, but

me, the heroine in that ship would be in Amsterdam by now, being bindled up to

sell.

Europeans and Americans and Brits.

We're all financing their war against us. We're doing it with oil and we're

doing it with drugs.

I have no further questions.

Your line of questioning today was curious.

Well, I just let the witness talk about what he wanted to.

Hey,

you have a minute?

Sir? You mentioned on the stand that medical supplies were disappearing.

Yes, sir. Thanks to my testimony, my CO is making me inventory everything this

evening. So what exactly is missing?

Well, so far, swabs, cotton balls, half case of small CC syringes.

Thank you, Chief. That'll be all.

Yes, sir.

Who in their right mind would take drugs and board a ship or random urinalysis

as SOP? Only someone not subject to the UCMJ, Tan Veer, which is why you invited

me along on this fact -finding mission.

At least I'm on a stand, Mac. There's definitely something wrong.

So how do we catch him, Barb? I doubt he's just going to confess.

All right, I'm waiting on you.

Too slow. Too slow. Get back. Try it again.

Oh, yeah. Go.

Get low.

What is that? Get low.

Oh, it's getting slow, Devil Dog.

Now, do you need to check your voice? You want me to come down there? Take

Take fire.

I've got you, Marine.

Take it off. Come on.

Let's get you to your feet.

If Corporal Witherspoon trained his voice from scratch, he's not doing much

job of it, is he, Lieutenant?

You all right there, Devil Dog?

It's okay.

We'll walk you through it again. We'll walk you through it again. Let's go.

See that?

Corporal Witherspoon knows his Marines' capabilities and limitations.

He's a good Marine, Mr. Black.

He belongs with his unit.

I should have known something was wrong when I saw the guard go.

Probably not thinking too clearly right at the moment, though, are you, son?

Why?

First, to protect my cover.

The drug lord didn't know me. He had no reason to trust me.

You became a junkie just so you could fit in? Look, I'd been there too long,

Sarah. I needed results for the service.

Look, I knew if I refused the drugs, he'd never believe I wasn't a plant.

Look, in the beginning, I only used in front of him.

I'd go back to my place and try to clear my head after every meeting.

I remember the day I started using it for, um... For other reasons.

It was getting too hard to shake it off. I realized then I needed it.

Eddie, Officer Wilkes is not guilty, is he?

No. No.

I'll tell your hearing officer that I'm the one. I'll do anything you want.

Just, uh... Just let me have one little bit.

Just a taste.

I'll do whatever you want.

It's not going to happen, Simon. It's mine!

I'm the one who gave it to you in the first place.

Simon, you need help. This is not the bloody point!

I'll get the ship's doctor.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Don't do this.

Please, please, don't do this.

Well, you run the clock out on me, Mr. Black. What's it going to be?

Is Corporal Witherspoon going to be able to lead his men without the threat of a

lawsuit hanging over him?

On a trip to the Gulf.

Well, that would give a publicist a lot to play with, wouldn't it?

But then again... Mr. Black, what if the corporal shot his first video in

Saddam's palace?

Saddam's palace?

You can do that?

Absolutely. And after Corporal Witherspoon is discharged from active

all yours.

Deal? It's a deal.

You know, you're really good, Lieutenant.

If you ever get tired of the Navy, you come work for me. Six figures and

sunshine all year round.

Really? You betcha.

I already have a job, Mr. Black.

I came out here to defend a man who was ready to walk away from a lot of money

to serve his country.

I'd be a hypocrite if I wasn't willing to do the same thing.

Okay.

Well, Corporal, you're off the hook. He's agreed not to file suit.

Oh, that's great, sir. I can't thank you enough.

Well, maybe you'll give me tickets to one of your concerts someday.

Not a problem, sir.

Godspeed, Corporal. Thank you, sir.

From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of

Tripoli.

We fight our country's battles in the air, on land, and sea.

First to fight for rights and freedom, and to keep our honor

clean. We are proud to claim the title of United

States Marine.

Well, I just, um...

I cut through the plastic and I, um, sealed it back up with a cigarette

I made sure you found the marijuana arrest and petty officer Wilkes' file.

By putting the kilo in the vent, I stood a good chance that some of the heroin

would get onto his clothes.

Oh, now I know how you did it.

You want to tell me why?

I let myself believe that my, um... addiction was part of the job.

Something I was doing for my country.

Yeah, that's too easy, Simon. You're not the only one who ever went undercover.

I'm weak, okay?

Look... Look, I just, uh... It was a way to forget what was happening to me.

You could have been honest with me. I was ashamed.

No, I don't think that's why. Sarah, maybe I just didn't want to quit.

Hmm?

Maybe I just liked it that much.

But... Look, I'm better now.

I'll never go to that extreme again.

Never say never.

You're only ever as good as your last sober day.

I still have so many questions for you. I know that, Sarah.

But I can't help you.

I don't have the answers you're after.

Webb told me in Paraguay that emotions are a liability to an agent.

That shouldn't be a problem for him. His reputation is that he hasn't any.

What if he were starting...

Starting to fall in love.

Then he's let his armor down and it's time for him to come home.

Goodbye, Sarah.

Goodbye, Simon.

You'll be happy to know, Commander, that I've informed my organization.

I'll be standing my own disciplinary hearing on my return to London. Good

You get the insight you were hoping for? More than I wanted to know.

Well, Mac, you know, it isn't easy, I mean, even when things are normal

relationships. Tom, I've seen you through how many women? You've watched

in love, fall out of love, get confused, get angry.

What is normal? I don't think there's any such thing.

You know, we've been dancing around this for a year now.

It might be.

So you're doing what you always do.

Not committing, leaving your options open.

Are you trying to throw me into his arm's arm?

Is that really what you want?

If you love him, it doesn't really matter what I want.
