All language subtitles for JAG - 05x21 - The Witches Of Gulfport-eng

Enter of thine own free will
and without fear.

Listen to the words
of the great goddess of old.

Once in the month,
and better it be when the moon is full,

you shall assemble
in some secret place

and adore the spirit of me,

who is clean of all the wise.

In my honour, you shall sing,
dance, make music,

and harm none in my presence,

for mine is the ecstasy
of the spirit on Earth.

So mote it be.

Be free, joyous,
and sky-clad in your great rite.

Flight 416 from Houston
is now arriving at Gate 14-B.

- Welcome to Gulfport, gentlemen.
- Thank you. At ease, chief.

Consider yourselves guests
of the Construction Battalion Center.

Thank you. Lead on.

Sir, we're parked in the far lot.
You feel like taking a hike?

- If you feel like carrying our luggage.
- Of course, sir.

Passenger Jane Murray,

please pick up
a white courtesy phone.

Cute.

We didn't wanna
blow your cover, Mac.

What about our friendship?

I'm friendly with Lieutenant Colonel
Sarah MacKenzie.

I don't know much about
a Chief Petty Officer Bonnie Johnson.

She is just as unforgiving.

Well, you do look snappy
in that uniform, ma'am.

You have baby food on yours,
lieutenant.

- So, what do you know, anyway?
- Typing is hard on the fingernails.

- About witches, Mac.
- They worship naked.

Really? Did you?

So, what was it like? Was it cold?

- Was there sex involved?
- I went for it. It was a warm night.

And no one touched me.

- Did they touch each other, ma'am?
- No.

We just danced around a bonfire,

and when the flames
were low enough, we jumped over.

You jumped over a fire naked?

Thanking my track-and-field coach
all the way.

So, what have you found out?

Harm, I've been talking to Wiccans
all week.

I haven't been able to find anything
to substantiate

Petty Officer Plunket's claim
she was raped.

We have a meeting with her
in the morning.

Let's see what she has to say.

- So are you a witch now, ma'am?
- In training, Bud.

They've taken me
into their confidence,

so I don't wanna hear any cracks
out of either of you.

How was your trip to Australia,
ma'am?

It was excellent.

I'm not used to seeing you
driving one of these, Mac.

- What'd you expect?
- Bud?

A broomstick, sir?

It happened
right after my initiation, sir.

Chief Merker, he's the high priest.

He walked me to my quarters.

I said good night,

but when I opened the door,
he followed me in.

- That's when it happened.
- Well, did you resist?

- I wanted to, sir.
- Then why didn't you?

I did, sir, in my head.

And you felt that
that would be enough?

Sir, I couldn't speak.

- You were panicked?
- No, sir.

You're not being very clear,
petty officer.

Chief Merker put a spell on me, sir.

- I'm speechless.
- And we're helpless, ma'am.

There's no way to make this fly.

Do you wanna drop it?

Well, what's our argument?
The petty officer couldn't say no

because Chief Merker
put a spell on her?

Need I remind you that Navy policy
requires all personnel

to take seriously
any charge of sexual assault?

We don't have anywhere
to begin with this.

We better figure it out.
I was sent down here

because of Wicca's growing presence
in the military.

I got the same speech, Mac.

The Navy wants to know
if this is an isolated incident.

Otherwise it has to re-evaluate
its policies on religious freedoms.

- So, what do we have?
- Well, we have what you've given us.

"Chief Merker is friendly,
accommodating

and personally powerful."

I'll dig deeper.

What if we go public with this?

It could open a conversation
within Wicca.

Something might fall out.

Works for me.

Bud, get me what you can
on these names, huh?

Yes, sir.

Oh, sir, FYI,

I found a case in the manual
for courts-martial

that involves Santer�a
and live chickens.

What?

- Hello?
- Oh, I woke you up.

- Bloody inconsiderate.
- I'm sorry.

No, to do it by phone.

Should have been lying next to me,
nuzzling me awake.

You know,
I keep smelling you everywhere.

On my pillows and my clothes.

And my towels.
I can't bring myself to wash them.

Well, promise me
you do it before I visit again.

If you promise to visit again.

I can't take leave until July.
What am I supposed to do until then?

I don't know,
but don't do it with anyone else.

- You think I would?
- Well, you're not yourself, are you?

You're Chief Johnson.

I hadn't thought of it that way.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Well, we're moving forward
down here, Mic.

Expect more naked dancing.

As long as you send me a tape.

Sir, the Wicca research.

Thanks.

"Pre-Christian,
Earth-based reconstruction

of European tribal worship.

Not only paganistic,
but polytheistic gods and goddesses."

There's no animal sacrifice,
no devil worship?

What's this?

I cast a wider net, sir.

"A frightening form of witchcraft
was reportedly practised not in Salem,

but in the deep South.

The witches in these regions
were said to have cast crippling spells

and even sacrificed humans
in their quest for union with the devil."

What does this have to do
with Wiccans, Bud?

Well, the petty officer claimed
that she was the victim of a spell, sir.

Sir, this is not
one of my paranormal fixations.

Is this one of your normal fixations?

Sir, here.

In 1916, a swarm of beetles
descended on Harrison County.

In the early '40s,

a hundred dogs went missing
in the span of a week.

- And as late as 1993...
- Bud, I'll look it over.

Do you think the colonel
might be interested, sir?

I'll keep her informed.

- Thanks.
- Yes, sir.

- Hey, how are you doing, chief?
- Well, the Navy thinks I'm a rapist.

The papers say
I made a pact with the devil.

There's a guy out in the parking lot
who wants to castrate me.

- Mind if I sit down?
- No, please.

- Thanks.
- You hungry, chief?

- Sure.
- Then don't sit here.

No one seems
to wanna take our order.

Eggs over easy up,
let's get them out of here.

Well, that's okay, chief.
You got friends.

Well, I'm really glad
you're one of them.

Bonnie, if you're gonna stick with us,

you should know
this could be a rough ride.

Wiccans are pretty open-minded
about sex.

Consensual sex.

Yeah, and we take a lot of heat for it.

And this was our worst nightmare.

It gives fuel to our enemies
and it can destroy us.

You know,
that's the crazy part about it.

What happened between me
and Petty Officer Plunket

was consensual.

If I'm guilty of anything,
it's not realising how naive she was.

The Lord has not forsaken you.

You can still be saved.
Come into his arms.

There is no warmer place
in the firmament.

Ma'am, you're not welcome here.

Marvellous grace of our loving Lord

Grace that exceeds our sin and guilt
Yonder on Calvary's mount outpoured

Come on, let's go.

There where the blood
Of the lamb was spilt

Grace, grace

God's grace
Grace that is greater than all our sin

Wicca's growing in the military

because it's one of the few institutions
that will let us be, or so we thought.

There was some talk of a study group
at Norfolk, but it never happened.

Well, Bonnie, I want you to know
I really appreciate your support.

I mean, you're only here a week
and you're already in the thick of it.

Most people don't get us.

Well, most people
don't cast spells, chief.

Spiritual magic.
It's to harness positive energy.

I mean, it's not like
we're turning people into toadstools.

Can you?

I believe my faith
gives me the power to do anything.

- Well, good night.
- Where are you going?

To sleep.

You're not gonna let me
be alone tonight, are you?

Yes, chief.

Okay.

Good morning, admiral.
Your calls, sir.

Everybody wants
a piece of me, Tiner.

Nothing lights up people
like sex and witchcraft.

Monsignor Doherty, ACLU,
Wiccan Circle.

Congressman Steelsmith.

Confirming your 9:00
for tomorrow, sir.

Yeah, it's his district.
He probably wants to meddle.

Misses the smell of litigation.
Damn hill dwellers.

What the hell is that?

It's the all-seeing eye, sir.

It's believed to be the eye of Lucifer.

"Hexes, curses,
psychic control and all corruption

are worked through this emblem."

Lieutenant Roberts
ordered it for his research, sir.

He wants me to forward it.

It's made of plaster, Tiner.

I can see that, sir.

Tell the lieutenant
he's gone too far this time.

Yes, sir.

Here.

- Judge advocate general's office.
- Hi, it's Sally.

- Did you get an answer...?
- Hold on, please.

Sir, Congressman Steelsmith wants
to push tomorrow's meeting to 10.

He's backed up early on
and he's afraid he'll fall behind.

He can fall on his behind
as far as I'm concerned.

Ten o'clock is fine.
We'll see him then.

Get me the commanding officer
at the Army installation,

Fort Hood, Texas.

They've been taking heat
on their Wiccans, so I'll pick his brain.

Aye, sir.

Tiner, tell the lieutenant
if he tries to expense that,

- I'm gonna make him wear it as a hat.
- Yes, sir.

As is the male to the female,
blessed be the act of creation.

Blessed be the waters of life.

May they protect and purify
this circle.

So mote it be.

May the goddess and the god
protect and purify thee.

Blessed be.

May the goddess and the god
protect and purify thee.

Blessed be.

What's your wish?

How'd you know I was making one?

Up is where hope lives.

So who's the guy?

All right, if you know so much,
what was I wishing?

You wanna be with him.

- Yes.
- But you can't.

No.

Can I help?

What could you do?

What do you like?

Yeah.

We're starting up again.

He tried to put a spell on me.

What did he do,
sprinkle fairy dust on you?

Salt water.

And then when we went outside,
he took my hand and...

- You resisted, I assume.
- Yes.

But someone weaker,
younger and more naive

may have had a harder time.
This guy is compelling.

Mac, what kind of powers
are we talking about, anyway?

Magical or personal?

Because if he has only seduced
Petty Officer Plunket,

we can go home.

He came on to me
the night before too, Harm.

Ma'am, what happened last night,
was it after a ceremony?

- Yes.
- Same as Petty Officer Plunket.

Chief Merker doesn't have the ability
to cast spells, but somehow,

he convinced the petty officer
that he does.

The thing is, if she really believed
that she was incapable of saying no,

that makes it rape.

You could directly compare that
to being drugged or hypnotised.

In each case, the person
is being denied their free will.

What happened to Bud Roberts,
occult expert?

He reminded himself
that he was an attorney, sir.

The defence will jump
all over the consent issue.

You have to prove intent
on the part of the accused,

that he expected
the petty officer to resist,

but made her think that she couldn't
so that he could take advantage of her.

- Anything further, counsellor?
- Yeah. Good luck.

- Congressman here yet?
- His office cancelled, sir.

Apparently, he slipped
on a marble floor and broke an ankle.

- Well, get him a card and I'll sign it.
- Yes, sir.

Tiner, what is that still doing here?

Sorry, sir. I haven't
gotten around to sending it yet.

Well, don't leave it out.
Put it someplace.

All we need is Monsignor Doherty
to find it and he'll damn us all to hell.

Yes, sir.

When is the ACLU rep expected?

- Noon, sir.
- Boy, this one is a loud talker.

He had me on the phone
for 40 minutes.

I got off, my ears were ringing.

Maybe he's said all he needs to say
and just wants to wrap up.

Well, one word out of his mouth
is one too many.

Here.
Hang this on my parking space.

Maybe it'll keep the minivans out.

The hardest part
is remembering to salute the officers.

I walked right past an ensign
the other day,

he dressed me down
for five minutes.

- Lucky bloke.
- What do you mean by that?

Well, ever since you told me
you were working undercover

as a chief petty officer,

I've been having
fraternisation fantasies.

Really?

I'm your commanding officer by day
and your love slave at night.

Keep talking, slave.

- Yeah, and you snap to, chief.
- Yes, sir.

Seriously, Sarah.

Watch yourself
around this Merker character.

You don't think I can handle myself?

I don't think I wanna think about it.
It worries me.

You're worried or jealous?

- No, I don't get jealous.
- Yeah, neither do I.

Oh, beauty.
Then I can keep my mistress?

Can I keep mine?

I miss you.

I miss you too.

I gotta go. Till next time.

Yeah, till then.

- I've been waiting 30 minutes for you.
- Oh, sorry.

Who were you talking to?

- My mistress.
- Very funny.

- Chief Johnson.
- Seaman.

Have some business
in Admin, chief?

Yeah, my transfer papers
got screwed up.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a day when
everything went according to plan?

I've had a few of those.

Really? Maybe if I hang out with you,
chief, I can learn how you do it.

Well, you just have to believe
in yourself.

- My first obstacle.
- Really?

It used to be worse,
but Wicca's helped a lot.

I think so.
You seem to be doing fine.

I hope you mean that, chief,

because a lot of people say stuff like
that just to get you out of their face.

And I don't know you that well.

You know me well enough
to be honest with me,

and I know you well enough
to be willing to listen.

See you later.

- Is there a problem?
- Well, I can't seem to...

Now I know.

Do you know where I can find
a Commander Rabb?

- Yeah, you're looking at him.
- Excellent.

James Posey.
I'm representing Chief Merker.

- Excuse me.
- Of course.

Glad I ran into you,
because I could not find your office.

- I have been all over the building.
- It's right across the hall, Mr. Posey.

Well, now I know.

May I suggest a way
to dispose of this case?

Do you wanna talk about this
in here or...?

Well, it's intimate.
It's got good acoustics.

All right, go ahead.

You drop the charges,
I call off the ACLU

and the talk shows
and the news magazines.

There seems to be some confusion,
Mr. Posey.

- Your client is the one in trouble.
- Well, now, what do you have?

A woman making
hysterical allegations.

Locals guilty of bigotry
and harassment.

This is not a case
of indecent assault.

This is a civil-liberties trial.

No deals
without an admission of guilt.

How's this for a headline?
"Real Witch Hunt in Harrison County."

Well, thank you for setting the tone
for the trial, Mr. Posey.

- You're welcome.
- It was your first mistake.

That's all right.

I only make them once.

Mr. Wythrip,
you live on top of the hill, correct?

- Yes, sir.
- What can you see below?

Well, the forest mostly.
A clearing or two.

Have you witnessed any recent activity
in either one of these clearings?

I sure have.

One night, I was chasing some
racoons away from my pole beans

and I spotted some folks
dancing naked around a bonfire.

Your Honour, I am wondering
about relevance.

So am I, counsellor.

Well, if you'll grant me some leeway,
sir, I'll get to that.

- Soon.
- Yes, sir.

Mr. Wythrip,
what do you do for a living?

I'm a wildlife photographer.

And are these the photos that you took
on the night in question?

Yes, sir. Sixteen hundred ASA,
pushed and lat.

What are we looking at?

Naked people jumping over a fire.

Is there anyone present
in the courtroom

that you observed that night?

Oh, yeah.
I see quite a few of them here.

- Including Chief Merker?
- Yep. Right there.

Let the record reflect that
the witness pointed to the accused.

It's him. With his arms akimbo.

Yeah. Which one?

Standing right there
next to the lady with the tattoo.

Well, her.

It's Wilfred Waller
from the ACLU, sir.

Send him in.

This way, sir.

Mr. Waller, welcome.
Please have a seat.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

Petty Officer Plunket,
would you describe

the initiation ceremony for us,
please?

Chief Merker brought me
into the centre of the circle.

Were you clothed?

No, sir. We were sky-clad.

Naked.

Had you worshipped
this way before?

The others had.
This was my first time.

Whose idea was it
for you to disrobe?

Chief Merker suggested it.

He said I was ready.

I was uncomfortable with the idea,

but he felt I'd be a stronger receptor
for the energy this way.

What happened next?

The chief blessed me and granted me
the title of first-degree initiate.

And how did he do that?

He kissed his hand
and he touched me in five places.

Where exactly?

My feet,

my hands,

my breasts,

my lips and down there.

What was the chief's expression
at this time, petty officer?

It wasn't spiritual, sir.

Were you disappointed?

A little.

But I was still excited about it all.

Did Chief Merker walk you home
after the ceremony?

Yes, sir.
It was fine until we got to my door.

I said good night.

But he came in anyway.

- What happened then?
- It was... It was weird, sir.

I suddenly felt like

I was inside myself looking out.

Like the connection between my mind
and my body was gone.

But it wasn't until he started
taking off my clothes

that I realised
that I couldn't do anything about it.

Why?

I was bewitched, sir.

You mean like hypnotised
or drugged?

Objection. Let's let the witness
tell us what she meant.

Sustained.

I wasn't able to cry for help

or fight him off or anything.

Did you wanna fight him off?

God, yes.

Petty Officer Plunket,

did Chief Merker have sexual
intercourse with you in this state?

Yes, sir.

- Excuse me, sir.
- What is it?

Sir, I don't know how to put this.

How about a sentence, a short one?

Yes, sir. Admiral,
it's about your meetings

with Congressman Steelsmith
and Mr. Waller.

What about them?

Well, you said something
about Congressman Steelsmith falling.

And then we learned
he broke his ankle.

Then with Mr. Waller,

you said you didn't wanna hear
another word out of his mouth.

And when he was in your office,
all he could do was cough.

Sir, you were holding
the all-seeing eye both times.

So I hexed these people?

Inadvertently, sir.

With a plaster pyramid.

It would seem that way, sir.

Well then, Tiner,
I must have magical powers.

Well, in that case,
I magically transfer them to you.

Yes, sir.

They're yours, Tiner.
Go have a party.

- Sir?
- Out.

Yes, sir.

Petty Officer Plunket, you're saying
that Chief Merker put a spell on you?

Yes, sir. Otherwise,
it never would have happened.

And you believed him capable
of making you do his bidding?

Yes, sir.

Well, if he had that kind of power
over you,

why can't he make you
withdraw this charge?

- I don't know, sir.
- Now, isn't it the truth

that you couldn't say no to him
that night because you didn't want to?

No, sir.

But you said you were excited
by the initiation ceremony.

I was excited
to be a member of Wicca.

You were naked
and a man was touching you.

And the only thing that excited you

was that they were gonna be
mailing you a membership card?

- Objection. Argumentative.
- Sustained.

Petty officer, what was your faith
prior to joining Wicca?

I was a member of a Baptist church
in Lizana.

And does this church
prohibit sex outside of marriage?

Yes, sir.

- And did you follow their teachings?
- Yes, sir.

But you left that church
to join Wicca.

I was looking for something new.

- And exciting.
- Different.

I see.

- And where do you worship now?
- Objection, Your Honour.

This trial is not about
the complainant's religion.

Your Honour,
if the complainant is feeling guilty

about a consensual
sexual relationship,

she has reason
for claiming sexual assault.

Is defence counsel now testifying
as an expert witness?

All right,
that's enough from both of you.

The objection's overruled.
Answer the question.

I went back to my church.

I wanted to be baptised again.

Why?

To be cleansed of my sins.

What sins would those be,
petty officer?

I thought you were bewitched.

No further questions.

You all right, seaman?

I just hurled, chief.

Is it the flu, or?

No, I'm having a bad day.

Aren't you happy
with the way the trial's going?

Sure.

It looks good for the chief.

I'm sorry, I'm just tired.

What's up?

It's all right. I can handle it, chief.

Not at the moment, you can't.

I didn't want anyone
to see me like this.

It's better this way.

The pain that you're holding inside
won't go away by itself.

It happened months ago.

What happened?

Chief Merker happened.

I was raped too.

Why are we hearing about this now?

Well, she was afraid
to come forward.

It's not unusual
for a woman to shut down

after she's been sexually assaulted.

But she had
such a good opportunity.

I mean, she had another case
to support her own.

Well, she figured we'd get him
on the Plunket charge.

And when she saw him
slipping away...

We should put her on the stand.
She's a perfect rebuttal witness.

It's not gonna happen.
And don't bother going to her.

If I couldn't convince her, you won't.

Well, we need to find
somebody who can, then.

Blessed be thy feet,
which have led thee in these ways.

Blessed be thy womb,
without which we would not be.

Blessed be thy hands,
which reach out and act in the world.

Blessed be thy breasts,
formed in strength and beauty.

Blessed be thy lips,
which speak the sacred names.

And blessed be you.

Did you, as high priest,
perform this blessing

on Petty Officer Plunket?

- Yes.
- Is it performed with a sexual intent?

Never.

Even though you place your hands
on the individual's flesh?

When a rabbi
performs a circumcision,

he places his hand
on the manhood of an infant.

Should he be accused
of child molestation?

Now, after the ceremony,
did you walk the petty officer home?

She asked me to.

And had she indicated
a prior interest in you?

I had received a valentine from her.

And did she express
an interest in you that evening?

- Yes.
- Did you put a spell on her?

There is a myth that Wiccans
have access to that kind of magic,

but it's only true in the movies.

Thank you. No further questions.

What kind of magic
do you practise, chief?

Our spells serve positive ends.

Happiness, healing,
that kind of thing.

So Petty Officer Plunket is wrong
in believing that you bewitched her?

That's right, sir.

She'd just disrobed in the dark,
surrounded by naked people,

had been touched
in private areas of her body

by a man in a position of authority
within the coven.

What psychological effect did you
expect this to have on her, chief?

To put her in touch with herself.

With the Earth,
with the god and the goddess.

Not with the high priest?

I am just a medium
for higher powers, sir.

How many Wiccan women
have you engaged sexually, chief?

Objection.

Defendant's sexual history
is not relevant here.

I'll rephrase, Your Honour.

Chief, have you had
sexual experience

with any Wiccan women
after initiations?

- It goes to pattern, Your Honour.
- I still object.

And I overrule. Witness will answer.

On occasion.
And it was always consensual.

Never used your position as high priest
to press them into it?

No, sir.

Never extended the initiation ceremony
to include a sexual one, chief?

No.

Never used the chanting,
the atmosphere

or the belief system of Wicca

to manipulate
suggestible young women

into believing they were powerless
to resist your advances?

I never made advances
toward anyone,

at any time, against their will.

So if somebody were to say
that you had?

Well, they'd be lying, sir.

Seaman Stortz,
I realise this is awkward,

but I thought you might wanna talk
to the commander.

- About what, chief?
- About what you told me.

- I don't know what that would be.
- Don't lie. Don't do that to yourself.

I can't believe that you went to him.
I trusted you, chief.

Yes, and I'm glad you did.

You're just too young
to be in this much pain.

Well, I thought
you supported Chief Merker.

Well, not if he's guilty.

Chief Merker's acting like he knows
you won't contradict him, seaman.

- Why?
- I have nothing to say to you, sir.

- Are you protecting him?
- No, sir, I'm protecting Wicca.

What do you think will happen
if Chief Merker is convicted?

It'll give fuel to our enemies.
It will destroy us.

Are those your words
or the Wicca party line?

I speak for Wicca, chief,
and Wicca speaks for me.

Well, right now
Chief Merker's speaking for Wicca.

- Is that the way you want it?
- That's the way it's gonna have to be.

- You're selling yourself short, seaman.
- It won't be the first time, ma'am.

You know,
I can order you to appear, seaman.

And I can refuse, sir.

Good afternoon, sir.

Well, that's that. Any other ideas?

Your Honour, I would like to call

Lieutenant Colonel Sarah MacKenzie
to the stand.

Who's Sarah MacKenzie?

Raise your right hand.

Do you swear that the evidence
you give will be the truth

and nothing but the truth,
so help you God?

- I do.
- Have a seat.

Colonel, you are obviously not
Chief Petty Officer Bonnie Johnson.

No, I was assigned
by the judge advocate general

to conduct an undercover investigation
of the Seabee Wiccans.

And what did you discover?

That they are civil people
of deep conviction

who are no threat to the community
or the military at large.

- All of them?
- Except Chief Merker.

He made sexual advances toward me
on two occasions.

Your Honour,
Chief Merker is not charged

- with anything relating to this witness.
- Again, sir, this goes to pattern.

Witness may continue.

On the first occasion,
he asked to spend the night.

On the second, during a ceremony,

I could feel him
looking at me intently.

Afterwards, he took hold of my hand.

Were you able to rebuff
his advances, colonel?

Objection, Your Honour.
When was hand-holding

added to the list
of improper sexual activities?

Commander, the charge is rape.

Does your witness have anything
to contribute on that subject?

Yes, sir, she does.
Colonel, who is Seaman Stortz?

- A member of Wicca.
- Did Seaman Stortz relate to you

an experience she had
with Chief Merker

after her initiation into Wicca?

- Objection. This is hearsay.
- And the commander knows it.

Members will ignore
the last question.

I'm sorry, sir. Nothing further.

Colonel, did Chief Merker force you
to engage in sexual activity with him?

- No, but...
- That's all.

Thank you very much.

- You may step down, colonel.
- Yes, sir.

Sir, I'd like to call Seaman Stortz
to the stand.

Your Honour, any information
derived from Seaman Stortz

during the colonel's
undercover investigation

is the product of a gross violation
of religious freedom.

The colonel was investigating
an alleged crime,

not a religion, counsellor.

Is the seaman present?

- Yes, Your Honour.
- Would you step up, please?

No, sir.

Seaman, I'm ordering you.

I'm sorry, sir, but I can't.

Would you prefer to be held
in contempt of this court?

If necessary, sir.

Your Honour, I would like to recall
Colonel MacKenzie

in light of the seaman's
refusal to testify.

To do what?

To relate to this court
the seaman's story,

since the seaman
has refused to do so herself.

Rule 804, declarant unavailable.
Exception to the hearsay rule, sir.

Seaman, you have a choice.

The colonel can take the stand
and explain the events

according to her recollection
of your statement to her,

or you can do it yourself.

When I realised
I've been overcharged,

I walked into my landlord's office,
showed him my lease,

and he says, "Take me to court,"
knowing full well

it'll be years
before I get my money back.

- I get it, sir.
- Don't hurt him.

- Just give him a rash or something.
- How about on his nose, sir?

Tiner, my office.

Bring that... with you.

Yes, sir.

Tiner, what are you getting
out of this?

Never mind. I don't wanna know.
Give it to me.

What's the literature say
about destroying one of these?

- It doesn't, sir.
- Good.

- Dismissed.
- Aye, sir.

We stopped
at Chief Merker's quarters first, sir.

He wanted to play a CD for me,
so I went inside and he put it on.

I turned around
and he was staring at me

in the most intense way.

Like he was trying
to put a spell on me, sir.

Did you succumb?

Well, no, because I didn't think
that that's the way spells worked.

That you could just make someone
do something against their will.

Then why did you tell
Colonel MacKenzie

that Chief Merker had raped you?

Because he did, sir.

When he realised
that I wasn't buying it,

he forced himself on me.

I fought back,
but he pushed me onto the bed

and he pinned my arms
around my back.

And that's when I tried
to call for help.

But he stuffed a sock in my mouth.

And afterwards,

he made me a cup of coffee.

Will the defendant please rise?

Announce your findings.

Chief Petty Officer Lane Merker,
this court-martial finds you,

of the charge
and specification, guilty.

This court is adjourned.

Okay, I got it.

That was a brave thing you did,
seaman.

No, sir.

I just thought it wouldn't be fair to have
someone else have to do it but me.

Chief Merker was a cancer.

He's been cut out
and it's time to heal.

What the chief did
was unforgivable, sir.

And if any of us had known
about Seaman Stortz,

we would've convinced her to testify,
even if it meant hurting Wicca.

But you are the last person who should
be talking about doing the right thing.

And as for you, ma'am,
after manipulating and lying to us,

well, you're a perfect example
of what this is all about.

You try and live in a world
that sends spies into your bedroom.

Colonel, commander.

Very impressive.

It's worth a manor
on the Riviera, love.

More like a cell in Long Bay,
I'm afraid.

Sorry, love. Over here, mates.

You two stay there.
Somebody stay on the door.

Come with us, please.

The look on her face
was enough to turn you into salt.

I felt like a total bastard.

She was smuggling
stolen military property

- out of the country, Mic.
- She was hardly involved, Sarah.

She got sucked into it
by a corrupt lieutenant

who'd bought her
a few expensive dinners.

Your first undercover
is always the hardest.

What, do they get easier?

You mean, do you ever feel
like less of a betrayer? No.

And what would you have done
if she'd made a move on you?

- She did.
- And?

Well, I couldn't shut her down.

She might have become suspicious.
I had to play at least part of it out.

Well, which part?

I'll tell you if you tell me
what you were feeling

when Chief Merker
was trying to enchant you.

You first.

No, you.

Okay, I'll say a sentence,
and then you.

Okay.

I felt a quiver.

The back of my neck got warm.

- I licked my lips.
- I bit mine.

You're next.

Let me turn out the light.

Me too.
