Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,087 --> 00:00:06,965
Hi. Let's go see them.
2
00:00:08,527 --> 00:00:10,802
I'd like to introduce you.
3
00:00:13,367 --> 00:00:15,801
- And you are?
- Curtis Rivers, ma'am.
4
00:00:16,607 --> 00:00:17,722
I don't see you on the list.
5
00:00:17,887 --> 00:00:19,798
You a campaign contributor
or a district captain?
6
00:00:19,967 --> 00:00:21,525
Only a lieutenant, ma'am.
7
00:00:21,687 --> 00:00:23,996
- That's the Medal of Honour, isn't it?
- Yes, sir.
8
00:00:24,167 --> 00:00:26,886
Maggie, the lieutenant
doesn't need an invitation.
9
00:00:27,047 --> 00:00:29,925
- Thank you, officer.
- No, thank you.
10
00:00:30,087 --> 00:00:32,157
Ladies and gentlemen?
11
00:00:32,687 --> 00:00:35,759
Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like
to introduce you to our gracious host,
12
00:00:35,927 --> 00:00:40,842
a man of many talents,
Navy SEAL, visionary businessman,
13
00:00:41,007 --> 00:00:45,239
and the next United States senator
from our great state of California:
14
00:00:45,407 --> 00:00:48,319
Wild Bill Layton.
15
00:00:54,167 --> 00:00:56,078
Thank you.
Thank you very much, all of you.
16
00:00:56,287 --> 00:00:59,199
But no more "Wild Bill"
or I wouldn't even get my wife's vote.
17
00:00:59,847 --> 00:01:01,758
Thank you all for coming.
Thank you, Angela.
18
00:01:01,927 --> 00:01:05,602
Thank you for shelling out 500 bucks
for some pretty bad champagne.
19
00:01:05,767 --> 00:01:07,564
As you all know,
I'm running for the Senate,
20
00:01:07,727 --> 00:01:10,719
and I'm running on the platform
of integrity in government
21
00:01:10,887 --> 00:01:12,400
and values in the home.
22
00:01:13,087 --> 00:01:15,362
And I promise you
I will fight for those values
23
00:01:15,527 --> 00:01:18,405
just as I fought
for this great country of ours.
24
00:01:18,567 --> 00:01:20,956
To me, politics is a calling.
25
00:01:21,127 --> 00:01:24,005
It's a chance for me
to finally give something back.
26
00:01:24,167 --> 00:01:25,919
How about starting
with those phoney medals?
27
00:01:26,567 --> 00:01:29,764
If you ever hit a beach,
it was falling out of a chaise longue.
28
00:01:29,927 --> 00:01:37,436
So let's drink to him.
Bill Layton: Coward, liar, impostor.
29
00:01:37,607 --> 00:01:40,519
And just who the hell are you?
30
00:01:40,687 --> 00:01:43,918
Lieutenant Curtis Rivers.
United States Navy SEAL, Team 6.
31
00:01:44,087 --> 00:01:45,679
You dishonour my comrades
by wearing this.
32
00:01:45,847 --> 00:01:47,883
Why, you son of a...
33
00:02:47,527 --> 00:02:50,360
Trespassing, assault and battery,
conduct unbecoming,
34
00:02:50,527 --> 00:02:52,483
and he's a Medal of Honour winner.
35
00:02:52,647 --> 00:02:55,207
No one's ever questioned
Lieutenant Rivers' willingness to fight.
36
00:02:56,807 --> 00:02:58,160
Just his discipline and judgement.
37
00:02:58,327 --> 00:03:00,557
Well, I've never seen
a service record like it.
38
00:03:01,207 --> 00:03:04,279
Disobeys an order,
but rescues a hostage in Lebanon
39
00:03:04,447 --> 00:03:05,800
and is awarded the Medal.
40
00:03:06,407 --> 00:03:09,046
Receives the Bronze Star for heroism
in Panama,
41
00:03:09,207 --> 00:03:11,402
but goes UA at Little Creek,
and now this.
44
00:03:17,207 --> 00:03:18,640
Men who couldn't swim
across a bathtub
45
00:03:18,807 --> 00:03:21,241
are claiming to have infiltrated
the beaches at Mina Saud.
46
00:03:21,407 --> 00:03:23,443
A lot of men, sir.
47
00:03:23,607 --> 00:03:25,916
It seems there are more
fraudulent SEALs than real ones.
48
00:03:26,087 --> 00:03:29,841
And I share Lieutenant Rivers' outrage
100 percent.
49
00:03:30,007 --> 00:03:32,646
But we can't have officers
punching out every blowhard
50
00:03:32,807 --> 00:03:36,402
who says he parachuted
behind enemy lines.
51
00:03:36,767 --> 00:03:39,361
Commander, you have a history
with the lieutenant.
52
00:03:40,047 --> 00:03:43,722
- Well, that's one way to put it, sir.
- "Fistfight" would be another.
53
00:03:43,887 --> 00:03:47,323
Still, he trusts you.
Talk sense to him.
54
00:03:47,487 --> 00:03:49,205
If he makes amends,
he'll face nothing worse
55
00:03:49,367 --> 00:03:51,642
than a letter of reprimand
and some anger counselling.
56
00:03:52,287 --> 00:03:55,563
Sir, the man Lieutenant Rivers hit,
is he an impostor?
57
00:03:55,727 --> 00:03:57,957
Well, Bill Layton was never a SEAL.
58
00:03:58,127 --> 00:04:03,645
But apparently he did serve in Vietnam
and received the Navy Cross.
59
00:04:03,807 --> 00:04:07,959
So it looks like Lieutenant Rivers
picked on a bona fide hero.
60
00:04:08,127 --> 00:04:09,276
Enter.
61
00:04:10,087 --> 00:04:13,079
Sorry to interrupt, admiral, but you're
due at Orsati's in 20 minutes, sir.
62
00:04:13,247 --> 00:04:14,999
Oh, right. Thank you, Tiner.
63
00:04:17,207 --> 00:04:19,482
You're not
brown bagging it today, sir?
64
00:04:19,647 --> 00:04:21,365
You have a problem with that,
commander?
65
00:04:28,187 --> 00:04:31,384
It's an opportunity of a lifetime,
admiral.
66
00:04:31,547 --> 00:04:34,425
- Charlie, how are you there?
- Just fine, senator.
67
00:04:34,587 --> 00:04:36,578
Well, I'm flattered, senator,
and a bit surprised.
68
00:04:36,747 --> 00:04:38,942
There must be a hundred lawyers
in Virginia alone,
69
00:04:39,107 --> 00:04:41,143
at least as well qualified.
70
00:04:41,307 --> 00:04:46,461
Oh, yeah, but damn few
with distinguished military records.
71
00:04:46,627 --> 00:04:48,026
You know if it were up to me,
72
00:04:48,187 --> 00:04:50,576
all lawyers
would have to serve their country
73
00:04:50,747 --> 00:04:53,739
before being considered
for a federal judgeship.
74
00:04:53,947 --> 00:04:56,177
Well, sir,
I doubt that would be constitutional.
75
00:04:56,347 --> 00:05:00,340
It would be if we could put some more
of our men on the Supreme Court.
76
00:05:01,347 --> 00:05:03,656
Tell me, admiral.
77
00:05:03,827 --> 00:05:06,466
May I submit your name
to the president,
78
00:05:06,627 --> 00:05:09,937
to be a United States district judge?
79
00:05:13,907 --> 00:05:16,899
Well, sir, I've spent my entire adult life
in the Navy.
80
00:05:17,067 --> 00:05:19,297
I've never really considered
anything else.
81
00:05:19,467 --> 00:05:21,025
It's a lifetime appointment.
82
00:05:21,187 --> 00:05:23,940
The prestige
of filling the constitutional office
83
00:05:24,107 --> 00:05:26,018
created by our founding fathers.
84
00:05:26,187 --> 00:05:32,376
And the chance to rule
over the great cases of our land.
85
00:05:32,867 --> 00:05:35,779
Senator,
you must be a hell of a country lawyer.
86
00:05:38,947 --> 00:05:41,541
- Let me think about it.
- Think about it the rest of the week.
87
00:05:41,707 --> 00:05:44,267
But after that, I'm gonna have to start
listening to the lobbyists
88
00:05:44,427 --> 00:05:46,338
and appoint some political hack.
89
00:05:48,027 --> 00:05:49,460
Tell me, A.J.,
90
00:05:49,627 --> 00:05:54,576
what is this case about a Navy SEAL
who slugged Bill Layton?
91
00:05:54,747 --> 00:05:58,262
I mean, that's a no-win situation.
92
00:05:59,987 --> 00:06:02,706
Oh, it's under control, senator.
93
00:06:02,867 --> 00:06:06,223
Good, good. I'm glad to hear that.
94
00:06:06,387 --> 00:06:09,026
- Layton can go to hell.
- You'd rather be court-martialed?
95
00:06:09,187 --> 00:06:12,418
Than apologise to that impostor?
I'd rather be shot.
96
00:06:12,587 --> 00:06:15,055
- Come on, ladies, pick it up.
- You heard him.
97
00:06:15,227 --> 00:06:16,785
- Pick it up.
- Get it up there.
98
00:06:16,947 --> 00:06:18,426
Do you love it? Do you love it?
99
00:06:20,067 --> 00:06:21,056
Come on now.
100
00:06:21,227 --> 00:06:23,218
You could do time in Leavenworth,
Rivers.
101
00:06:23,387 --> 00:06:24,786
I've been in worse places.
102
00:06:25,187 --> 00:06:26,666
Look, you punched the wrong guy.
103
00:06:26,827 --> 00:06:29,261
Bill Layton served honourably
and was decorated.
104
00:06:29,427 --> 00:06:31,543
He was never a SEAL
and he never earned his Trident.
105
00:06:31,707 --> 00:06:34,779
And you haven't earned the right
to be judge, jury and vigilante.
106
00:06:34,947 --> 00:06:37,142
Come on, commander.
This is not about a guy and a ball
107
00:06:37,307 --> 00:06:39,502
who claims to have played linebacker
for Penn State.
108
00:06:39,667 --> 00:06:42,545
Some of these people are dangerous.
Look.
109
00:06:44,587 --> 00:06:47,226
He was never a SEAL,
but he's got a gun.
110
00:06:49,307 --> 00:06:51,263
- He's a hired killer.
- Report him to the police.
111
00:06:51,427 --> 00:06:53,782
Let them put him on trial.
There's a legal system, remember?
112
00:06:53,947 --> 00:06:57,383
Yeah, I remember. It's the one
that wants me court-martialed.
113
00:06:57,547 --> 00:07:01,938
- Come on, ladies, pick it up, pick it up.
- Pick it up. Let's go.
114
00:07:03,587 --> 00:07:06,977
I can't imagine JAG without you.
I'd miss you, sir.
115
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:08,906
We'd all miss you, admiral.
116
00:07:09,067 --> 00:07:12,503
Well, I sure the hell would miss
all of you and the Navy.
117
00:07:12,667 --> 00:07:15,465
But I don't think
I can pass up the opportunity
118
00:07:15,627 --> 00:07:18,937
to sit on a federal bench.
119
00:07:19,907 --> 00:07:21,181
A chance to strike the balance
120
00:07:21,347 --> 00:07:24,259
between the power of government
and an individual.
121
00:07:24,427 --> 00:07:26,099
You've decided to go for it, sir?
122
00:07:26,267 --> 00:07:28,576
Well, I told Senator Barrington
to start background checks,
123
00:07:28,747 --> 00:07:32,376
but I reserved the right
to reverse myself. Have a seat.
124
00:07:34,427 --> 00:07:36,987
Well, if I may say so, sir,
125
00:07:37,147 --> 00:07:39,263
I think you'd make
an excellent federal judge.
126
00:07:39,427 --> 00:07:42,225
- Would I?
- Well, yes, sir, you're...
127
00:07:42,387 --> 00:07:45,026
You know the law,
you're fair, you're honest.
128
00:07:45,187 --> 00:07:46,779
But?
129
00:07:47,667 --> 00:07:50,977
Sir, nobody questions
that you'd be good for this job.
130
00:07:51,147 --> 00:07:54,662
- But would this job be good for you?
- Go on.
131
00:07:56,027 --> 00:07:58,939
You're a Navy SEAL.
You're a man of action.
132
00:07:59,107 --> 00:08:01,018
And judges, they sit on their sixes.
133
00:08:01,187 --> 00:08:04,623
And most lawyers come
from deep-carpet law firms, and you...
134
00:08:04,787 --> 00:08:06,140
From a deep carpet jungle?
135
00:08:08,307 --> 00:08:11,743
- Yes, Tiner?
- Commander Rabb on one, sir.
136
00:08:13,267 --> 00:08:14,302
Commander.
137
00:08:14,467 --> 00:08:16,901
Admiral,I've talked with Lieutenant Rivers.
138
00:08:17,067 --> 00:08:18,546
Sir, it doesn't look good.
139
00:08:18,707 --> 00:08:21,175
Well, at least the two of you
didn't get in a slugfest.
140
00:08:21,347 --> 00:08:23,383
Stay close to your quarters,
you're getting company.
141
00:08:23,547 --> 00:08:24,980
Aye, sir.
142
00:08:26,067 --> 00:08:28,979
Colonel, how do you feel about
prosecuting Lieutenant Rivers?
143
00:08:29,947 --> 00:08:32,017
If it's your order,
it doesn't matter how I feel, sir.
144
00:08:32,187 --> 00:08:36,066
- But it's hardly just.
- "This is a court of law, not of justice."
145
00:08:36,227 --> 00:08:37,899
Oliver Wendell Holmes.
146
00:08:38,067 --> 00:08:40,422
Wasn't he also in the military
before becoming a judge?
147
00:08:40,587 --> 00:08:42,657
Captain of the Harvard Regiment
during the Civil War.
148
00:08:42,827 --> 00:08:44,863
Took a bullet through the neck
at Antietam.
149
00:08:45,027 --> 00:08:48,622
He was over 60 when Teddy Roosevelt
appointed him to the Supreme Court.
150
00:08:48,787 --> 00:08:52,985
Sir, if Mr. Layton determined that
no wrong had been done to him?
151
00:08:53,147 --> 00:08:54,739
Well, it would be up to
Lieutenant Rivers'
152
00:08:54,907 --> 00:08:56,579
commanding officer
to initiate proceedings.
153
00:08:56,747 --> 00:09:00,296
But as a Medal of Honour recipient,
he might get some slack.
154
00:09:00,467 --> 00:09:03,425
You think you could buy me 24 hours
to reason with Mr. Layton, sir?
155
00:09:04,907 --> 00:09:05,976
Campaign headquarters.
156
00:09:06,147 --> 00:09:08,263
Two men
with distinguished military records.
157
00:09:08,427 --> 00:09:11,339
It would be a shame
if this couldn't be worked out.
158
00:09:12,227 --> 00:09:13,216
Oh, hell.
159
00:09:13,387 --> 00:09:16,538
I mean, even a Medal of Honour
winner can make a mistake.
160
00:09:16,707 --> 00:09:18,937
What do you think, Angela?
161
00:09:19,267 --> 00:09:22,464
We've gotten bad press, Bill.
We can't just walk away from it.
162
00:09:22,627 --> 00:09:25,983
The polls show a 12 percent bump
in your unfavourables.
163
00:09:26,147 --> 00:09:29,696
The best scenario, according to
the focus groups, is to convict Rivers.
164
00:09:29,867 --> 00:09:32,017
Seventy-two percent
say that would clear your name.
165
00:09:32,187 --> 00:09:35,259
- This is a political decision?
- Isn't everything?
166
00:09:35,827 --> 00:09:37,101
Okay, here's an offer.
167
00:09:37,267 --> 00:09:39,622
Bill won't prosecute Rivers
in state court
168
00:09:39,787 --> 00:09:41,584
if the Navy court-martials him.
169
00:09:41,747 --> 00:09:44,466
If Lieutenant Rivers is convicted,
170
00:09:44,627 --> 00:09:47,346
I could call a press conference
and publicly forgive him.
171
00:09:47,507 --> 00:09:51,102
A magnanimous gesture
from one warrior to another.
172
00:09:51,267 --> 00:09:53,906
- The voters will eat it up.
- No, unfortunately the Navy won't.
173
00:09:54,067 --> 00:09:55,944
Lieutenant Rivers' career
would be ruined.
174
00:09:56,107 --> 00:09:58,257
In which case,
Bill holds a second press conference
175
00:09:58,427 --> 00:10:00,702
deploring the Navy's
lack of compassion.
176
00:10:00,867 --> 00:10:04,416
- Compassion is in this year.
- Really? I thought it was cynicism.
177
00:10:05,427 --> 00:10:07,657
If you press the case,
a good defence lawyer
178
00:10:07,827 --> 00:10:09,499
will turn the spotlight on you.
179
00:10:10,027 --> 00:10:12,143
I have nothing to hide, colonel.
180
00:10:14,707 --> 00:10:15,901
Okay, hustle up. Hustle up.
181
00:10:16,347 --> 00:10:19,100
- Let's go, go, go.
- Yes, sir.
182
00:10:20,507 --> 00:10:22,020
Commander.
183
00:10:22,187 --> 00:10:23,415
Don't tell me.
184
00:10:23,587 --> 00:10:25,942
Charges and specifications
have been drawn up.
185
00:10:26,107 --> 00:10:27,938
Colonel MacKenzie will prosecute.
186
00:10:28,107 --> 00:10:30,257
If you're looking for a defence counsel,
I'm available.
187
00:10:30,427 --> 00:10:33,578
- I'll defend myself.
- It's not wise, lieutenant.
188
00:10:34,907 --> 00:10:37,216
If you wanna assist me
with the legal mumbo jumbo,
189
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:38,706
I wouldn't kick you out of court.
190
00:10:39,707 --> 00:10:43,143
- Sit second chair to you?
- Couldn't lose, commander.
191
00:10:43,307 --> 00:10:47,016
I'll have a fool as a client
and a washed-up pilot as co-counsel.
192
00:10:47,827 --> 00:10:52,139
I'm not worried about this.
My bigger concern is this gun-for-hire.
193
00:10:52,307 --> 00:10:54,696
- Rivers.
- We did some research, commander.
194
00:10:54,867 --> 00:10:57,097
The guy's name is Earl Ticktin.
195
00:10:57,267 --> 00:10:59,701
He washed out of the Navy
after basic training.
196
00:10:59,867 --> 00:11:01,300
Now he's got three confirmed kills.
197
00:11:01,467 --> 00:11:03,856
That makes him a problem
for the police, not for you.
198
00:11:04,027 --> 00:11:07,417
Correct, "not for me," commander.
For you.
199
00:11:07,587 --> 00:11:09,862
I just hired him to kill you.
200
00:11:16,087 --> 00:11:19,045
A hit man?
You hired a hit man to kill me?
201
00:11:20,607 --> 00:11:22,996
All right, Rivers, the joke is over.
Un-hire him.
202
00:11:23,167 --> 00:11:24,919
You're not scared, are you,
commander?
203
00:11:25,087 --> 00:11:28,557
I never met a pilot
with the guts for close combat.
204
00:11:28,727 --> 00:11:32,037
- How close you wanna get?
- Very good.
205
00:11:32,207 --> 00:11:34,004
But save it for Ticktin.
You're gonna need it.
206
00:11:34,167 --> 00:11:37,125
You're gonna make appetizing bait
and we'll be waiting for him.
207
00:11:37,287 --> 00:11:40,643
I'm not playing this game with you,
Rivers. This is a police matter.
208
00:11:41,807 --> 00:11:43,798
Look, commander, if you report this,
209
00:11:43,967 --> 00:11:48,119
I'll get stripped of my rank, my pension,
and probably wind up in prison.
210
00:11:48,287 --> 00:11:50,005
You think I care?
211
00:11:51,727 --> 00:11:53,126
You can't help yourself.
212
00:11:54,807 --> 00:11:57,958
This is how it's coming down.
I contacted Ticktin by e-mail
213
00:11:58,127 --> 00:12:00,118
through an anonymous server
in Europe.
214
00:12:00,287 --> 00:12:04,758
When you're dead, I send
$10,000 cash to a mail drop in Mexico.
215
00:12:04,927 --> 00:12:09,079
Ten thousand dollars on credit?
Should I be offended?
216
00:12:09,527 --> 00:12:14,806
It's a bargain rate. I think
he has a thing about Navy officers.
217
00:12:22,527 --> 00:12:24,119
Hi, Rivers.
218
00:12:32,727 --> 00:12:34,558
Vic, Pops has got you
right where he wants you.
219
00:12:34,727 --> 00:12:37,241
You're crazy, lieutenant.
I got him this time.
220
00:12:40,007 --> 00:12:43,079
- Fifty bucks on Pops.
- You're on.
221
00:12:53,447 --> 00:12:55,802
- How'd you do that?
- Brain power.
222
00:12:57,647 --> 00:12:59,080
That our boy?
223
00:12:59,247 --> 00:13:02,683
Yeah. Commander Rabb,
Pops Munchak, Vic Velasco.
224
00:13:02,847 --> 00:13:06,237
They're the real deal.
They'll cover your six.
225
00:13:06,647 --> 00:13:09,241
- This is your team?
- That's us.
226
00:13:09,407 --> 00:13:11,238
- Buy you a drink?
- No, thank you.
227
00:13:11,407 --> 00:13:12,635
Take it easy, commander.
228
00:13:12,807 --> 00:13:14,684
If a phoney SEAL
ever set foot in here,
229
00:13:14,847 --> 00:13:18,396
we'd spear his skull with a cue stick
and use his eyeballs for cocktail olives.
230
00:13:18,567 --> 00:13:20,956
You gotta forgive Velasco.
He's got a steel plate in his head.
231
00:13:21,127 --> 00:13:23,038
It's not a plate, it's screws.
Four metal screws.
232
00:13:23,207 --> 00:13:25,243
- And they're all loose.
- At least I got an excuse.
233
00:13:25,407 --> 00:13:27,125
- Excuse for what?
- Forgetfulness, Grandpa.
234
00:13:27,287 --> 00:13:30,962
Relax, commander.
I'd trust Pops and Vic with my life.
235
00:13:31,127 --> 00:13:34,164
I'd trust them with your life too.
236
00:13:34,607 --> 00:13:37,679
That's the first time
I heard that story today.
237
00:13:38,447 --> 00:13:41,883
So, what do you say, commander?
You gonna help us?
238
00:13:43,927 --> 00:13:45,997
I don't have much choice, do I?
239
00:13:46,167 --> 00:13:50,046
I never believed in the draught
so if you want out...
240
00:13:51,727 --> 00:13:54,878
Your call, commander.
I'll cancel the hit if you want me to.
241
00:13:55,047 --> 00:13:57,880
But I think you ought
to look at something first.
242
00:14:01,967 --> 00:14:04,401
The young guy, got in an argument
with Ticktin in a bar.
243
00:14:04,567 --> 00:14:07,081
Ticktin came back with a gun
and blew him away in a parking lot.
244
00:14:07,247 --> 00:14:10,603
Other two, contract killings.
Both with homemade bombs.
245
00:14:10,967 --> 00:14:12,878
One for insurance money,
246
00:14:13,047 --> 00:14:16,483
and the other for revenge
over a business deal gone bad.
247
00:14:16,647 --> 00:14:20,845
Two women lost their husbands.
Five children lost their fathers.
248
00:14:21,007 --> 00:14:22,963
Why haven't you gone
to the FBI with this?
249
00:14:23,127 --> 00:14:24,560
FBI has it.
250
00:14:24,727 --> 00:14:28,276
They were following a lead in Mexico
that turned out to be a dead-end.
251
00:14:28,447 --> 00:14:29,880
And in the last murder,
252
00:14:30,047 --> 00:14:33,244
there was a possible sighting
in the mountains near Ocotillo Wells.
253
00:14:33,407 --> 00:14:34,886
That trail went cold also.
254
00:14:50,527 --> 00:14:52,358
Let me tell you
what this case is not about.
255
00:14:52,527 --> 00:14:55,121
It's not about William Layton's
military record.
256
00:14:55,287 --> 00:14:59,200
And it's not about Lieutenant Rivers'
medals, honours or motives.
257
00:14:59,367 --> 00:15:01,119
- Why not?
- Because then she'd lose.
258
00:15:01,287 --> 00:15:03,755
This case is about
the undisputed fact
259
00:15:03,927 --> 00:15:07,806
that Lieutenant Curtis Rivers
entered a private fundraiser
260
00:15:07,967 --> 00:15:12,404
and assaulted William Layton
in violation of Article 128.
261
00:15:12,567 --> 00:15:15,718
This breach of discipline
cannot be tolerated in the military
262
00:15:15,887 --> 00:15:20,085
or any society where
respect for the law is paramount.
263
00:15:20,247 --> 00:15:21,885
Thank you.
264
00:15:26,607 --> 00:15:27,835
Your Honour, Lieutenant Rivers
265
00:15:28,007 --> 00:15:30,043
would like to deliver
his own opening statement.
266
00:15:30,207 --> 00:15:32,516
Very well. Proceed, lieutenant.
267
00:15:44,567 --> 00:15:46,558
I'm a Navy SEAL.
268
00:15:46,727 --> 00:15:48,638
A direct descendant
of the Scout and Raider units
269
00:15:48,807 --> 00:15:51,002
that invaded North Africa in 1942.
270
00:15:51,167 --> 00:15:53,556
I'm a child
of the Underwater Demolition Teams
271
00:15:53,727 --> 00:15:56,366
that stormed the beaches
of Normandy.
272
00:15:56,527 --> 00:16:00,566
I humbly follow those who clear
the way for landings on Pacific islands
273
00:16:00,727 --> 00:16:03,446
whose names are synonymous
with words like:
274
00:16:03,607 --> 00:16:05,086
"Courage,"
275
00:16:05,247 --> 00:16:06,760
"honour,"
276
00:16:06,927 --> 00:16:08,519
"country,"
277
00:16:08,687 --> 00:16:09,915
and "death."
278
00:16:10,207 --> 00:16:13,995
My predecessors spilled their blood
in the snow of Korea,
279
00:16:14,167 --> 00:16:16,078
and the rice patties of Vietnam.
280
00:16:16,247 --> 00:16:18,044
No Navy SEAL
has ever surrendered
281
00:16:18,207 --> 00:16:20,277
or left behind a dead
or wounded comrade.
282
00:16:20,447 --> 00:16:23,564
That is bravery and selflessness.
283
00:16:23,727 --> 00:16:28,437
It represents an ideal as embodied
by this uniform and insignia.
284
00:16:28,607 --> 00:16:32,919
And to me,
this uniform is not just made of cloth,
285
00:16:33,087 --> 00:16:36,921
the insignia not just made of metal.
Oh, no.
286
00:16:37,087 --> 00:16:40,602
They represent the flesh and blood
of all those who came before.
287
00:16:40,767 --> 00:16:41,836
- They were...
- Objection.
288
00:16:42,007 --> 00:16:44,601
Your Honour, this is a court-martial,
not a history lesson.
289
00:16:44,767 --> 00:16:48,999
Counsel, and that seems to include
the defendant, please, approach.
290
00:16:54,167 --> 00:16:55,680
Lieutenant Rivers.
291
00:16:55,847 --> 00:16:58,520
Do you think Commander Rabb could
perform the duties of a Navy SEAL?
292
00:16:59,847 --> 00:17:01,963
Maybe on weekends, ma'am.
293
00:17:02,127 --> 00:17:05,836
Then what makes you think
you could do the job of a trial lawyer?
294
00:17:06,007 --> 00:17:09,283
- Because I know the truth.
- The truth?
295
00:17:10,287 --> 00:17:12,437
Obviously, lieutenant,
you haven't been to law school.
296
00:17:12,607 --> 00:17:14,563
Opening statements
should summarise
297
00:17:14,727 --> 00:17:17,287
the evidence you intend to submit.
298
00:17:17,447 --> 00:17:20,439
The issue here is an alleged assault
consummated by battery.
299
00:17:20,607 --> 00:17:25,761
Not the history of the Navy SEALs,
no matter how illustrious.
300
00:17:25,927 --> 00:17:28,316
The objection is sustained.
301
00:17:32,247 --> 00:17:35,364
Yeah, this one always seems
to come up, sir.
302
00:17:35,527 --> 00:17:37,518
Have you ever failed
to pay social security
303
00:17:37,687 --> 00:17:40,326
for a maid or a housekeeper?
304
00:17:40,487 --> 00:17:44,924
Maid? I wash my own clothes,
clean my own quarters.
305
00:17:45,207 --> 00:17:46,686
Yes, sir.
306
00:17:46,847 --> 00:17:49,839
You know, sir, I'm not sure that I
should be asking you these questions.
307
00:17:50,007 --> 00:17:52,999
Judiciary Committee will, lieutenant.
So fire away.
308
00:17:53,167 --> 00:17:56,239
Aye, aye, sir.
Have you ever smoked marijuana?
309
00:17:56,407 --> 00:17:59,444
No. What, are they gonna ask
for a urine sample?
310
00:18:00,687 --> 00:18:03,076
Probably not during the hearing, sir.
311
00:18:06,327 --> 00:18:09,717
And finally, they wanna know
if there's anything in your background
312
00:18:09,887 --> 00:18:13,721
that may reflect on your fitness
to sit on the federal bench?
313
00:18:16,247 --> 00:18:19,284
I've killed men
under the rules of war.
314
00:18:20,047 --> 00:18:22,117
It's something I gotta live with
every day.
315
00:18:22,607 --> 00:18:25,644
It's made me appreciate
the value of human life
316
00:18:26,647 --> 00:18:29,115
and the laws that guide it.
317
00:18:31,567 --> 00:18:33,558
That's an excellent line, sir.
318
00:18:34,447 --> 00:18:36,677
It's not a line, lieutenant.
319
00:18:38,807 --> 00:18:41,367
- Colonel MacKenzie.
- It's me.
320
00:18:41,527 --> 00:18:42,596
Mic.
321
00:18:42,767 --> 00:18:45,076
- Do you miss me, love?
- You know I do, Mic.
322
00:18:45,247 --> 00:18:47,078
So when are we gonna see
each other again?
323
00:18:47,247 --> 00:18:49,317
Tonight, in my dreams.
324
00:18:49,487 --> 00:18:51,717
I'm in San Diego.
I'm trying a court-martial.
325
00:18:51,887 --> 00:18:53,240
You're joking.
326
00:18:53,407 --> 00:18:55,921
Oh, beauty. It's only
a hop, skip, and a jump from Sydney.
327
00:18:56,087 --> 00:18:58,157
I'll tell you what,
I'll meet you halfway in Hawaii.
328
00:18:58,327 --> 00:18:59,760
Or Bikini Atoll in the Marshalls.
329
00:19:00,327 --> 00:19:02,363
We'll set offour own nuclear explosions.
330
00:19:02,527 --> 00:19:05,803
Right, I'll just walk out on the trial,
let Harm will get a dismissal.
331
00:19:07,407 --> 00:19:08,635
Harm's with you, is he?
332
00:19:09,207 --> 00:19:11,846
Harm's against me. You're with me.
333
00:19:14,127 --> 00:19:16,243
Remember I love you, Sarah.
334
00:19:17,007 --> 00:19:19,237
Me too, Mic.
335
00:19:21,607 --> 00:19:23,916
Maybe we should go over your defence
while I'm still alive.
336
00:19:24,087 --> 00:19:25,600
I've already plotted it out,
commander.
337
00:19:25,767 --> 00:19:28,600
Oh, do you wanna tell me about it now
or after you're convicted?
338
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,440
Isn't it a crime to wear military insignia
that you haven't earned?
339
00:19:31,607 --> 00:19:34,519
It's a misdemeanour
under 17 U.S. Code 702.
340
00:19:34,687 --> 00:19:38,316
Well, I went to old Layton's reception
to make a citizen's arrest.
341
00:19:38,487 --> 00:19:40,398
It's not gonna work.
You didn't try to arrest him.
342
00:19:40,567 --> 00:19:43,400
You repossessed his Trident by force
and then punched him.
343
00:19:43,567 --> 00:19:45,523
Look, I hit him
after he took a swing at me first.
344
00:19:45,687 --> 00:19:46,722
That's self-defence.
345
00:19:46,887 --> 00:19:49,560
So you feel you were in danger
of imminent bodily harm?
346
00:19:49,727 --> 00:19:52,764
- From that windbag?
- Yeah, that's what I thought.
347
00:20:14,887 --> 00:20:16,161
Hold it! Tango 1 o'clock!
348
00:20:32,527 --> 00:20:34,040
Clear.
349
00:20:35,647 --> 00:20:38,400
Sorry, I must have lost a step.
350
00:20:38,567 --> 00:20:40,876
That's all right.
We'll get him next time.
351
00:20:41,047 --> 00:20:43,083
Next time.
352
00:20:50,447 --> 00:20:54,725
This guy rolls his own shells.
The casings are 7.62 millimetre.
353
00:20:54,887 --> 00:20:57,196
No manufacturer's stamp,
soft-dent primers.
354
00:20:57,607 --> 00:20:58,926
He uses hollow points too.
355
00:20:59,087 --> 00:21:01,043
Would have made sausage
out of anybody they hit.
356
00:21:01,207 --> 00:21:02,959
The man takes pride in his work.
357
00:21:03,127 --> 00:21:06,005
Commander, that possible sighting
of Ticktin up in the mountains...
358
00:21:06,167 --> 00:21:07,759
- What about it?
- It was a guy on a bike.
359
00:21:07,927 --> 00:21:09,326
A white and blue motorcycle.
360
00:21:10,887 --> 00:21:12,240
What are we waiting for?
361
00:21:16,287 --> 00:21:18,005
We had a report
that someone on a motorcycle
362
00:21:18,167 --> 00:21:20,965
was exploding homemade bombs and
shooting transformers off power poles.
363
00:21:21,127 --> 00:21:22,799
I didn't think much of it.
364
00:21:22,967 --> 00:21:24,639
Then the FBI comes up here
and tells us
365
00:21:24,807 --> 00:21:28,004
a contract killer just
blew someone away in his driveway.
366
00:21:28,167 --> 00:21:31,796
The guy's business partner
confesses to hiring him.
367
00:21:31,967 --> 00:21:35,198
And supposedly the money drop was
near here in the Vallecito mountains.
368
00:21:35,367 --> 00:21:36,561
- You check it out?
- Sure.
369
00:21:36,727 --> 00:21:39,560
But there's a lot of territory to cover.
We came up empty.
370
00:21:40,807 --> 00:21:42,320
Can we take a look at your files?
371
00:21:42,487 --> 00:21:46,799
It's an open investigation so I'm not
supposed to, but what the hell.
372
00:21:48,087 --> 00:21:49,805
We do pretty good
on drunk and disorderlies,
373
00:21:49,967 --> 00:21:52,117
but we don't get too many
homicide investigations.
374
00:21:52,287 --> 00:21:55,723
Maybe you two have some ideas,
especially since this guy's an ex-SEAL.
375
00:21:55,887 --> 00:21:57,479
He wasn't a SEAL.
376
00:21:57,647 --> 00:22:00,207
"Last possible sighting:
Mexicali, Mexico."
377
00:22:00,367 --> 00:22:02,642
Some gringo was setting off explosives
in the hills.
378
00:22:02,807 --> 00:22:05,321
We asked the Mexican authorities
to look around.
379
00:22:05,487 --> 00:22:08,126
If you ask me, I think the next time
we hear from this guy
380
00:22:08,287 --> 00:22:10,164
is when there's another body to bag.
381
00:22:12,607 --> 00:22:15,280
You have no idea
why someone tried to kill you?
382
00:22:15,447 --> 00:22:17,597
Just a random jog-by shooting,
I guess.
383
00:22:17,767 --> 00:22:20,235
Harm, no pilots' bravado.
What's going on?
384
00:22:20,407 --> 00:22:21,920
Well, maybe Rivers was the target.
385
00:22:22,087 --> 00:22:23,998
He's the guy
who goes around hitting people.
386
00:22:24,167 --> 00:22:26,681
What aren't you telling me?
387
00:22:27,487 --> 00:22:30,638
- My trial strategy?
- No, I already know that.
388
00:22:30,807 --> 00:22:32,718
The law's against you.
The facts are against you.
389
00:22:32,887 --> 00:22:35,401
You're gonna try
to smear the prosecution witness.
390
00:22:35,567 --> 00:22:39,242
You know, I hope you're not involved
in one of Curtis Rivers' crazy schemes.
391
00:22:40,087 --> 00:22:42,965
You know me better than that, Mac.
Come on.
392
00:22:45,087 --> 00:22:48,477
I just did my duty
to the best of my ability.
393
00:22:48,647 --> 00:22:50,922
Without ever asking for a thank you
or a medal.
394
00:22:51,087 --> 00:22:55,046
As for Lieutenant Rivers, well,
you know, he's a comrade in arms.
395
00:22:55,207 --> 00:22:59,086
- I feel only compassion for him.
- Compassion is big this year.
396
00:22:59,247 --> 00:23:00,680
Well, let's hope
the members think so.
397
00:23:00,847 --> 00:23:02,678
That will be all for now,
ladies and gentlemen.
398
00:23:02,847 --> 00:23:05,600
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.
399
00:23:06,247 --> 00:23:08,283
- Good morning, colonel.
- Good morning.
400
00:23:08,447 --> 00:23:11,120
- Any last-minute advice?
- Oh, we'll keep it simple.
401
00:23:11,287 --> 00:23:13,721
I'll ask if you invited Lieutenant Rivers
to your party.
402
00:23:13,887 --> 00:23:15,957
And then have you describe
how he assaulted you.
403
00:23:16,127 --> 00:23:18,083
Oh, hell, colonel.
It was just a shoving match
404
00:23:18,247 --> 00:23:20,636
between a couple of guys
who have seen a lot worse.
405
00:23:20,807 --> 00:23:23,116
I'll describe it,
but I'm not gonna whine about it.
406
00:23:23,287 --> 00:23:25,676
That's the right note, Bill.
Proud but humble.
407
00:23:26,047 --> 00:23:27,719
I hope you don't plan
on using hand signals
408
00:23:27,887 --> 00:23:29,684
or semaphore during the testimony.
409
00:23:29,847 --> 00:23:31,838
Whose side are you on anyway?
410
00:23:32,007 --> 00:23:35,841
Nobody's side. I represent
the United States of America.
411
00:23:38,047 --> 00:23:40,242
Before the members come in,
we have a motion in limine.
412
00:23:40,407 --> 00:23:41,442
Let's hear it.
413
00:23:41,607 --> 00:23:43,518
The government asks
that the defence be precluded
414
00:23:43,687 --> 00:23:45,598
from enquiring
into Mr. Layton's military record,
415
00:23:45,767 --> 00:23:47,166
as it's irrelevant to the charges.
416
00:23:47,327 --> 00:23:49,716
Your Honour, Lieutenant Rivers
acted out of a sense of duty
417
00:23:49,887 --> 00:23:51,445
by confronting a man he believed
418
00:23:51,607 --> 00:23:53,563
claimed military honours
he hadn't earned.
419
00:23:53,727 --> 00:23:55,718
The issues are whether
Lieutenant Rivers trespassed
420
00:23:55,887 --> 00:23:57,206
and committed an assault.
421
00:23:57,647 --> 00:24:00,161
It's irrelevant if Mr. Layton claimed
to be General Schwarzkopf
422
00:24:00,327 --> 00:24:03,239
or the queen of England.
Motion granted.
423
00:24:06,407 --> 00:24:09,479
It was a fundraiser for my campaign
for the U.S. Senate.
424
00:24:09,647 --> 00:24:14,357
Lieutenant Rivers crashed the party,
insulted me and then assaulted me.
425
00:24:14,527 --> 00:24:15,755
Please tell us what happened.
426
00:24:15,927 --> 00:24:19,556
He grabbed me by the lapel
and tore off my Trident pin.
427
00:24:19,727 --> 00:24:23,515
My lawyer told me that's an assault
and I was justified in defending myself.
428
00:24:23,687 --> 00:24:26,440
- Move to strike, Your Honour.
- Granted.
429
00:24:26,607 --> 00:24:28,962
The members shall rely
on the court's recitation of the law,
430
00:24:29,127 --> 00:24:31,721
not Mr. Layton's nor his lawyer's.
431
00:24:31,887 --> 00:24:35,118
What happened after Lieutenant
Rivers tore off your Trident?
432
00:24:35,287 --> 00:24:37,198
Oh, we danced back and forth
a little bit.
433
00:24:37,367 --> 00:24:39,403
I'm afraid I'm not as graceful
as I used to be.
434
00:24:39,567 --> 00:24:42,604
- Did the defendant strike you?
- Oh, yes, ma'am, he sure did.
435
00:24:42,767 --> 00:24:44,917
And what injuries, if any,
did you suffer?
436
00:24:45,087 --> 00:24:47,123
Nothing that would earn
a Purple Heart.
437
00:24:47,287 --> 00:24:49,482
Just a little,
you know, strained neck, that's all.
438
00:24:49,647 --> 00:24:51,797
Thank you. Nothing further.
439
00:24:51,967 --> 00:24:53,320
Who's doing the honours?
440
00:24:53,487 --> 00:24:55,478
- I am, Your...
- I am, Your...
441
00:24:55,647 --> 00:24:57,797
Seldom has justice
had so many eager advocates.
442
00:25:05,247 --> 00:25:08,523
Your Honour, there are different kinds
of beaches to storm.
443
00:25:08,687 --> 00:25:11,599
- This one's Commander Rabb's.
- Wise choice, lieutenant.
444
00:25:13,447 --> 00:25:15,199
Who threw the first punch,
Mr. Layton?
445
00:25:15,367 --> 00:25:17,244
I did, in self-defence.
446
00:25:17,407 --> 00:25:20,717
Did Lieutenant Rivers make any move
to strike you before you swung at him?
447
00:25:20,887 --> 00:25:23,321
Look, in front of my wife,
my friends, and my supporters,
448
00:25:23,487 --> 00:25:25,523
he called me an impostor
and a coward.
449
00:25:25,687 --> 00:25:28,918
- He said my life was a lie.
- So you took a swing at him?
450
00:25:29,087 --> 00:25:31,362
I did what any man
would have done.
451
00:25:31,527 --> 00:25:34,837
But don't get me wrong, commander,
I respect Lieutenant Rivers.
452
00:25:35,007 --> 00:25:37,362
Hell, I'd like to have had
six just like him in my platoon
453
00:25:37,527 --> 00:25:40,758
when we went in country.
But he was way out of line here.
454
00:25:40,927 --> 00:25:43,566
- You served in Vietnam, Mr. Layton?
- Objection. Your Honour
455
00:25:43,727 --> 00:25:46,002
prohibited this line of enquiry
on the motion in limine.
456
00:25:46,167 --> 00:25:48,806
Mr. Layton opened the door, ma'am,
when he volunteered information
457
00:25:48,967 --> 00:25:51,037
about serving in country.
It goes to credibility.
458
00:25:51,207 --> 00:25:54,438
The door is indeed open,
and the horse has departed the barn.
459
00:25:54,607 --> 00:25:56,916
Objection overruled.
460
00:25:57,687 --> 00:25:59,439
Did you serve in Vietnam,
Mr. Layton?
461
00:25:59,607 --> 00:26:00,926
Yes, I did.
462
00:26:01,087 --> 00:26:04,363
And I'm as proud of my record
as Lieutenant Rivers is of his.
463
00:26:04,527 --> 00:26:06,757
I just didn't go around
tooting my own horn about it.
464
00:26:06,927 --> 00:26:09,316
Too many men a lot braver than me
died over there
465
00:26:09,487 --> 00:26:11,842
without anyone pinning a cross
on their chest.
466
00:26:12,367 --> 00:26:13,516
Were you a Navy SEAL?
467
00:26:13,687 --> 00:26:16,838
I didn't go through training
at Coronado or Little Creek.
468
00:26:17,007 --> 00:26:19,157
I earned my Trident in the field,
commander,
469
00:26:19,327 --> 00:26:23,320
when we rescued three Navy pilots
from a North Vietnamese POW camp.
470
00:26:24,007 --> 00:26:27,397
Mr. Layton, only one American
was ever rescued from captivity
471
00:26:27,567 --> 00:26:30,718
during the entire Vietnam War.
He was Army Special Forces.
472
00:26:30,887 --> 00:26:33,117
Officially, that's correct.
473
00:26:33,287 --> 00:26:36,085
You see, commander, the Pentagon
didn't crow about our mission
474
00:26:36,247 --> 00:26:40,399
for fear that Ho Chi Minh
would retaliate against other POW's.
475
00:26:40,567 --> 00:26:42,842
So who can corroborate this story,
Mr. Layton?
476
00:26:43,007 --> 00:26:44,122
No one.
477
00:26:44,287 --> 00:26:47,279
The rest of Foxtrot Platoon
disappeared in Cambodia.
478
00:26:47,807 --> 00:26:50,799
- Never heard from again.
- You are the sole survivor?
479
00:26:50,967 --> 00:26:54,004
Actually, I was on a solo recon
down near Nha Trang at the time.
480
00:26:54,167 --> 00:26:57,876
I never made the mission.
I've felt guilty about that ever since.
481
00:26:58,047 --> 00:27:01,198
So there's not a single person
in any branch of the military,
482
00:27:01,367 --> 00:27:03,835
or office of the government,
who can corroborate this story.
483
00:27:04,007 --> 00:27:07,966
Surely, commander, you are aware
of the nature of Black Ops?
484
00:27:08,127 --> 00:27:12,166
Even if my C.O. Were still around,
he would deny ever knowing me.
485
00:27:12,327 --> 00:27:16,445
In other words, Mr. Layton,
you can't prove any of this.
486
00:27:16,607 --> 00:27:20,395
I'm not on trial here, commander.
I haven't tried to prove anything.
487
00:27:20,567 --> 00:27:23,320
- And you've succeeded, Mr. Layton.
- Objection.
488
00:27:23,487 --> 00:27:26,126
Counsel is arguing with the witness
and commenting on the evidence.
489
00:27:26,287 --> 00:27:29,279
Commander, please refrain
from editorial comments.
490
00:27:29,447 --> 00:27:30,960
I'm sorry, Your Honour.
491
00:27:31,127 --> 00:27:34,039
I think we've heard enough
about Mr. Layton's military prowess.
492
00:27:34,207 --> 00:27:36,084
Do you have any further questions,
commander?
493
00:27:36,247 --> 00:27:39,717
- Not at this time, ma'am.
- Then the witness may step down.
494
00:27:39,887 --> 00:27:41,878
Noting the hour,
we'll recess for the day.
495
00:27:42,047 --> 00:27:44,003
I have sentencing hearings
tomorrow morning,
496
00:27:44,167 --> 00:27:45,839
so we'll reconvene at 1330.
497
00:27:46,567 --> 00:27:50,401
Everything's right on track
on your nomination, A.J.
498
00:27:50,887 --> 00:27:53,606
But it's just like your SEAL training,
499
00:27:53,767 --> 00:27:58,522
when they start using live ammo,
keep your butt down.
500
00:27:58,687 --> 00:28:00,006
Always good advice, senator.
501
00:28:00,167 --> 00:28:04,399
Oh, I am looking forward
to your confirmation.
502
00:28:04,567 --> 00:28:05,920
You know, it's gonna be refreshing
503
00:28:06,087 --> 00:28:08,840
to have a federal judge
who doesn't get all weak-kneed
504
00:28:09,007 --> 00:28:13,842
every time a warrantless search
or a pretrial detention comes up.
505
00:28:14,207 --> 00:28:18,758
Actually, I'm a firm believer
in the 4th and 8th amendment, sir.
506
00:28:18,927 --> 00:28:23,637
Well, yes.
Yes, we all believe in the Bill of Rights.
507
00:28:23,807 --> 00:28:25,559
By the way, A.J.,
508
00:28:25,727 --> 00:28:29,879
how's that trial coming
with Bill Layton out in California?
509
00:28:30,047 --> 00:28:32,800
Lieutenant Rivers
is the one that's on trial.
510
00:28:33,527 --> 00:28:36,246
That's not the way
I've been hearing it.
511
00:28:36,767 --> 00:28:39,998
Did I ever mention that Bill Layton
is a friend of mine?
512
00:28:40,767 --> 00:28:43,804
And a very bright light in my party.
513
00:28:43,967 --> 00:28:45,002
From the sound of it,
514
00:28:45,167 --> 00:28:50,161
your man is giving him a very, very
tough time in cross-examination.
515
00:28:51,167 --> 00:28:54,637
Well, if he didn't,
he'd be derelict in his duties, sir.
516
00:28:55,247 --> 00:28:59,240
There are different kinds of duties,
admiral.
517
00:28:59,407 --> 00:29:02,797
A federal judge
should recognise that.
518
00:29:06,767 --> 00:29:08,723
We've got a fresh load of documentsin the office.
519
00:29:09,127 --> 00:29:11,516
All right, we'll wade through them
until it's time for court.
520
00:29:11,687 --> 00:29:14,201
God, I have enough to keep me busy
back in my quarters.
521
00:29:14,367 --> 00:29:16,517
Look, commander, this afternoon
522
00:29:16,687 --> 00:29:18,803
why don't you let me
take a shot at Layton?
523
00:29:18,967 --> 00:29:23,677
You already had your shot at Layton.
I'll see you in court. Don't be late.
524
00:29:27,007 --> 00:29:28,725
- Rabb.
- Commander?
525
00:29:28,887 --> 00:29:32,516
It's Carson up in Ocotillo Wells.
We think we found Ticktin's cabin.
526
00:29:32,687 --> 00:29:34,484
FBI forensics
will be up here tomorrow.
527
00:29:34,647 --> 00:29:38,322
- Wanna have an advance look at it?
- I gotta be in court at 1330.
528
00:29:38,487 --> 00:29:41,047
You've got time
if you hit the road right now.
529
00:29:42,087 --> 00:29:43,964
I'm on my way.
530
00:29:46,727 --> 00:29:49,799
Here's a guy who served with Layton
in Public Affairs.
531
00:29:49,967 --> 00:29:52,276
Well, you give me the info,
I'll call him.
532
00:29:52,447 --> 00:29:53,721
I'm getting copies of all orders
533
00:29:53,887 --> 00:29:56,799
awarding Navy Crosses
during Vietnam.
534
00:29:57,487 --> 00:30:00,877
Why don't you just check and see
if Layton's Cross is really classified.
535
00:30:07,087 --> 00:30:09,920
Incoming. It's Ticktin.
536
00:30:13,847 --> 00:30:17,317
"Still on the job.
Just wanted you to know."
537
00:30:17,487 --> 00:30:19,398
He's still out there.
538
00:30:21,447 --> 00:30:25,838
"Good. When can I expect results?"
539
00:30:37,527 --> 00:30:40,087
Sorry, traffic was insane.
I hope I'm not too late.
540
00:30:40,247 --> 00:30:43,523
No, commander.
You're right on time.
541
00:30:47,667 --> 00:30:48,895
You just caught me, commander.
542
00:30:49,067 --> 00:30:51,217
A neighbour spotted Ticktin
at the cabin.
543
00:30:51,387 --> 00:30:54,345
FBI is on their way up there.
So is the Highway Patrol SWAT Team.
544
00:30:54,867 --> 00:30:57,222
I'm heading up to maintain surveillance
till they get there.
545
00:30:57,387 --> 00:30:59,537
- You wanna come along?
- If you can give me 30 seconds
546
00:30:59,707 --> 00:31:02,062
- and let me use your phone.
- It's right there.
547
00:31:02,227 --> 00:31:03,785
What do you mean
"unavoidably detained"?
548
00:31:03,947 --> 00:31:06,381
- Are you in some kind of trouble?
- Just cover for me, Mac.
549
00:31:06,547 --> 00:31:09,345
Stipulate with Rivers to recess,
apologise to Judge Helfman.
550
00:31:09,507 --> 00:31:10,701
I'll see you tomorrow at 0900.
551
00:31:10,867 --> 00:31:13,506
- The judge won't be happy.
- If this goes well, she'll understand.
552
00:31:13,667 --> 00:31:15,544
- If what goes well?
- I gotta go.
553
00:31:17,147 --> 00:31:19,138
- Need a weapon, commander?
- I got one in the car.
554
00:31:19,307 --> 00:31:21,582
Good. You may need it.
555
00:31:22,027 --> 00:31:24,018
Next time, colonel,
556
00:31:24,187 --> 00:31:27,145
please tell Commander Rabb
to show up to make his own motion.
557
00:31:27,307 --> 00:31:28,342
Yes, ma'am.
558
00:31:28,507 --> 00:31:32,136
But if you have no objection, we'll
continue in recess till 0900 tomorrow.
559
00:31:32,307 --> 00:31:33,865
Your Honour, I object.
560
00:31:35,947 --> 00:31:37,983
You object
to your own lawyer's motion?
561
00:31:38,147 --> 00:31:40,342
Well, he didn't consult with me
562
00:31:40,507 --> 00:31:43,305
and I'm ready to continue on with
the cross-examination of Mr. Layton.
563
00:31:43,467 --> 00:31:45,901
Your Honour, I'm sure
Lieutenant Rivers will be enthusiastic,
564
00:31:46,067 --> 00:31:48,103
but the prosecution suggests
that we do not continue
565
00:31:48,267 --> 00:31:49,859
until he's adequately represented.
566
00:31:50,027 --> 00:31:52,939
Your Honour, I can do this
if you just give me the opportunity.
567
00:31:54,787 --> 00:31:56,698
The lieutenant has a right
to represent himself.
568
00:31:59,027 --> 00:32:00,301
Proceed.
569
00:32:03,747 --> 00:32:06,739
Mr. Layton, yesterday you testified
that you took a swing at me.
570
00:32:06,907 --> 00:32:07,942
Is that correct?
571
00:32:08,107 --> 00:32:12,419
I defended myself after you tore off
my Trident pin. Then you hit me.
572
00:32:12,587 --> 00:32:15,420
Your Honour, could you ask
the witness to stop making speeches?
573
00:32:15,827 --> 00:32:19,137
You asked him to repeat testimony
that's unfavourable to your case.
574
00:32:19,707 --> 00:32:21,220
And you got what you asked for.
575
00:32:24,467 --> 00:32:28,585
Okay. You also testified yesterday
that you were a Navy SEAL.
576
00:32:28,747 --> 00:32:30,544
For the Black Ops, yes.
577
00:32:30,707 --> 00:32:32,379
But you can't produce
one shred of evidence
578
00:32:32,547 --> 00:32:35,266
that supports your claim
that you were even in combat.
579
00:32:35,427 --> 00:32:37,418
How about my Navy Cross?
580
00:32:44,427 --> 00:32:47,385
- Could I have a moment, please?
- A moment it is.
581
00:32:56,827 --> 00:32:59,580
The cabin has a view of the road.
We'll hike in from here.
582
00:32:59,747 --> 00:33:01,942
You're gonna need this radio.
583
00:33:02,107 --> 00:33:06,703
- How long till the FBI gets here?
- Not long. Let's head in.
584
00:33:08,107 --> 00:33:10,826
Mr. Layton,
let's talk about your Navy Cross.
585
00:33:10,987 --> 00:33:12,340
Tell us how you earned it.
586
00:33:12,507 --> 00:33:15,260
Riverine Operations
on the Mekong Delta.
587
00:33:15,947 --> 00:33:17,266
Why don't you tell us about it.
588
00:33:18,467 --> 00:33:24,019
Well, under heavy fire, l... I was able
to capture a North Vietnamese major
589
00:33:24,187 --> 00:33:27,896
on an ambush and abduction mission.
I was down on the Rach Muoi Creek.
590
00:33:28,067 --> 00:33:30,376
Later under my interrogation,
591
00:33:30,547 --> 00:33:33,539
he revealed the whereabouts
of secret stockpiles of weapons.
592
00:33:33,707 --> 00:33:37,495
But weren't you in
the Public Affairs office in Saigon
593
00:33:37,667 --> 00:33:40,227
during your tour of duty in country?
594
00:33:40,387 --> 00:33:42,901
Until I transferred to a combat unit.
595
00:33:44,227 --> 00:33:47,185
So why don't you tell us what your
duties were in the Public Affairs office
596
00:33:47,347 --> 00:33:50,259
before you became
the Rambo of Rach Muoi Creek?
597
00:33:50,427 --> 00:33:54,022
Mostly I wrote newspaper releases
for hometown papers.
598
00:33:54,187 --> 00:33:57,862
Detailing the exploits of others
who were awarded decorations.
599
00:33:58,027 --> 00:33:59,062
Sometimes.
600
00:33:59,227 --> 00:34:04,620
And day after day, week after week,
citations would go across your desk
601
00:34:04,787 --> 00:34:09,303
describing the true stories of heroism,
isn't that true?
602
00:34:09,747 --> 00:34:10,975
Yes.
603
00:34:11,147 --> 00:34:12,660
It must have been pretty tough
for you,
604
00:34:12,827 --> 00:34:15,580
you know, being deluged
with the gallantry of others
605
00:34:15,747 --> 00:34:17,897
while you just pecked away
at your typewriter.
606
00:34:18,067 --> 00:34:20,627
It was all right. I got my turn.
607
00:34:27,667 --> 00:34:29,419
Was this one of the press releases
you wrote?
608
00:34:29,587 --> 00:34:31,020
Objection. Irrelevant.
609
00:34:31,427 --> 00:34:34,385
Lieutenant,
I'm giving you some latitude,
610
00:34:34,547 --> 00:34:37,903
- but tie this up and move on.
- Yes, ma'am.
611
00:34:38,067 --> 00:34:39,819
Overruled for now.
612
00:34:42,107 --> 00:34:44,985
Well, it looks like
it could be one of mine.
613
00:34:45,147 --> 00:34:46,899
Why don't you read it
for the members, please.
614
00:34:47,067 --> 00:34:49,865
It's just a report about
some Petty Officer Miguel Mora
615
00:34:50,027 --> 00:34:52,700
from Key Biscayne, Florida
who won the Navy Cross.
616
00:34:53,627 --> 00:34:55,299
Read on.
617
00:34:56,107 --> 00:35:00,100
"For extraordinary heroism and valour,
at the risk of his own life,
618
00:35:00,267 --> 00:35:03,737
Petty Officer Mora,
while under heavy fire,
619
00:35:06,107 --> 00:35:10,737
captured an NVA major
on Rach Muoi Creek
620
00:35:10,907 --> 00:35:13,501
and obtained information regarding
stockpiles of enemy weapons."
621
00:35:13,667 --> 00:35:17,706
So that creek must have just been
crawling with NVA majors
622
00:35:17,867 --> 00:35:20,939
just waiting to be abducted
and interrogated.
623
00:35:21,107 --> 00:35:22,620
Because one month later,
624
00:35:22,787 --> 00:35:25,745
just one month after you reported
Petty Officer Mora's medal,
625
00:35:25,907 --> 00:35:28,102
an identical citation awarded you
the exact same medal
626
00:35:28,267 --> 00:35:30,098
for the exact same conduct.
Isn't that true?
627
00:35:30,267 --> 00:35:32,735
- Those things happen.
- Who was your commanding officer?
628
00:35:32,907 --> 00:35:36,058
- Name one other man on that mission.
- It was Black Ops. I took an oath.
629
00:35:36,227 --> 00:35:38,263
You took an oath
when you walked in here.
630
00:35:39,587 --> 00:35:41,578
Who were the other members
of your squad?
631
00:35:41,747 --> 00:35:44,056
What did they look like?
Where were they from?
632
00:35:44,587 --> 00:35:48,262
- That was a long time ago.
- A long time ago?
633
00:35:48,427 --> 00:35:51,066
I will never forget the men
I served with.
634
00:35:51,227 --> 00:35:54,503
Not their faces
and not their hometown stories.
635
00:35:55,147 --> 00:35:57,297
They were my brothers.
636
00:35:58,107 --> 00:36:00,143
You forget your brothers here,
Mr. Layton?
637
00:36:02,587 --> 00:36:04,464
You're not a Navy SEAL.
638
00:36:04,627 --> 00:36:07,824
You weren't a hero either,
were you, Mr. Layton?
639
00:36:07,987 --> 00:36:14,620
You were and you are just a liar,
a fraud and an impostor.
640
00:36:27,447 --> 00:36:29,278
There's the cabin.
641
00:36:29,687 --> 00:36:31,564
There's his bike.
642
00:36:31,727 --> 00:36:33,638
I'll cover the front of the cabin
from down below.
643
00:36:33,807 --> 00:36:35,763
You swing around right
and get a view of the rear.
644
00:36:35,927 --> 00:36:38,566
- Got it.
- Let's move.
645
00:36:53,407 --> 00:36:55,363
Wanna keep going, commander?
646
00:36:55,527 --> 00:36:59,645
- I got you covered.
- I hope you're a good shot.
647
00:36:59,807 --> 00:37:03,322
The best. Load my own shells.Hollow point.
648
00:37:03,487 --> 00:37:05,284
Insert the primers myself.
649
00:37:06,247 --> 00:37:09,364
- Seven-point-six-two millimetre?
- Yep.
650
00:37:09,527 --> 00:37:11,518
Soft-dent primers
651
00:37:11,687 --> 00:37:15,475
for an easier trigger pulland a steadier sight picture.
652
00:37:15,647 --> 00:37:17,877
Just keep going, commander.
653
00:37:48,487 --> 00:37:51,797
Commander, can you read me?
654
00:37:59,687 --> 00:38:02,884
What, you think you and Rivers
can trap me?
655
00:38:03,527 --> 00:38:07,566
Since you got a bunch of medals?
Because you're officers?
656
00:38:08,687 --> 00:38:11,201
Medals won't do you any good now.
657
00:38:12,447 --> 00:38:13,800
Fire in the hole, flyboy.
658
00:38:22,287 --> 00:38:24,164
Not even close, Ticktin.
659
00:38:30,487 --> 00:38:32,682
It's different when someone's
shooting at you, isn't it?
660
00:38:57,007 --> 00:38:59,237
Drop the weapon, Ticktin.
661
00:39:03,567 --> 00:39:05,046
Drop it.
662
00:39:11,367 --> 00:39:14,006
Well, you were right
about one thing, Ticktin.
663
00:39:16,847 --> 00:39:19,566
Medals don't make the man.
664
00:39:24,087 --> 00:39:25,361
The defendant shall rise.
665
00:39:28,727 --> 00:39:30,126
You may publish your findings.
666
00:39:33,167 --> 00:39:36,477
Commander Rabb. Thank you
for gracing us with your presence.
667
00:39:36,647 --> 00:39:38,558
Perhaps you could stand
alongside your client.
668
00:39:38,727 --> 00:39:40,479
Yes, ma'am.
669
00:39:41,767 --> 00:39:42,836
You may continue.
670
00:39:43,007 --> 00:39:44,122
Lieutenant Rivers,
671
00:39:44,287 --> 00:39:47,757
on the specifications of trespassing
and conduct unbecoming of an officer,
672
00:39:47,927 --> 00:39:51,124
this court martial finds you
not guilty.
673
00:39:51,287 --> 00:39:54,085
On the specification of assault
consummated by battery,
674
00:39:54,247 --> 00:39:56,158
this court martial finds you guilty
675
00:39:56,327 --> 00:39:59,285
and sentences you
to forfeiture of one day's pay.
676
00:39:59,447 --> 00:40:01,085
This court martial is closed.
677
00:40:03,927 --> 00:40:06,282
Congratulations, lieutenant.
678
00:40:07,887 --> 00:40:11,084
This morning, when Bill Layton
withdrew from the Senate race,
679
00:40:11,247 --> 00:40:15,525
some of my colleagues suggested
that I cut you adrift, admiral.
680
00:40:15,687 --> 00:40:17,359
But I said, no.
681
00:40:17,527 --> 00:40:22,442
I know that in time,
you will learn to be a team player.
682
00:40:22,607 --> 00:40:24,404
And what team
would that be, senator?
683
00:40:24,567 --> 00:40:27,604
Oh, admiral, all I'm saying
684
00:40:27,767 --> 00:40:31,362
is that when you are a sworn judge,
it would be helpful
685
00:40:31,527 --> 00:40:34,325
if you would remember
who got you that appointment.
686
00:40:36,087 --> 00:40:37,725
In my copy of the Constitution,
687
00:40:37,887 --> 00:40:41,675
I seem to recall something
about the separation of powers.
688
00:40:41,847 --> 00:40:45,760
Oh, admiral,
sometimes it is necessary
689
00:40:45,927 --> 00:40:52,924
to distinguish between the platitudes
of civic lessons and cold, hard realities.
690
00:40:53,887 --> 00:40:55,559
And if I disagree?
691
00:40:55,727 --> 00:40:58,878
Well, then you'd be making
a big mistake, A.J.
692
00:41:02,447 --> 00:41:05,962
No, sir. The mistake was yours.
693
00:41:37,167 --> 00:41:38,725
Welcome back,
colonel, commander.
694
00:41:38,887 --> 00:41:40,718
- Thank you, sir.
- I heard the news, admiral.
695
00:41:40,887 --> 00:41:43,117
Congratulations, sir. I'll miss you.
696
00:41:44,087 --> 00:41:46,282
Why? Are you leaving us again?
