All language subtitles for Diagnosis Murder s07e20 Murder at BBQ Bobs

Alex?

Alex? Hey!

Hi.

You know, they have a sleep disorder
unit at the hospital.

I'm fine.

Everybody out!

Now! Whoa, hey, let's take it easy,
okay?

Hank, don't do this! Sit down!

Please, Hank! Shut up!

Now just give me the gun, okay? Why
don't you go get the blinds?

Okay, look, I'm going to do something
for you, okay? And then I want you to do

something for me. I want you to put the
gun down, okay?

I got something settled.

Okay, look, we can work this out, okay?

Put the gun down.

Hope you leave now.

Look, I can't leave as long as you're
threatening me. Get out or I kill them

all. Look, you're making it worse. Go
outside.

We'll talk to him, please.

It's been a while.

The season of Captain Hank Thomas is
attached to the Malibu Point Marine Air

Station.

Death was instantaneous.

Anybody else hurt? No. When he came in,
he fired a shot into the ceiling and

then ordered everybody to leave.

Everybody except the three Marines that
were here at the table.

Captain Paul Davis, Lieutenant Gene
Romanski, Lieutenant Robert Martinelli.

is my father, Dr. Mark Sloan. He's a
consultant for the police department.

What happened? Said he was going to make
us all sorry.

Put a gun to his head, pulled the
trigger.

Sorry for what?

Well, I was engaged to Hank, but I... He
was so jealous all the time. You know,

I couldn't live with his accusations,
and I just... I had to break it off.

When did you do that?

About two months ago.

Well, after that, he just started
stalking me.

It was... Well, he scared me, and I...

I finally talked to Lieutenant
Martinelli about it.

You were with military police?

That's right.

Did you arrest him?

It wasn't that easy.

Why not?

Look, we can do this by Braille, or you
can actually talk to me and help me get

to the bottom of this.

Hank was always careful to make sure
there were no witnesses.

There's nothing really Lieutenant
Martinelli could have done.

Well, he did ask to meet with me about
the situation. That's why we were all

here.

On the adjutant to Colonel Chandler.

Chandler's your CO?

That's right.

Now, Lieutenant Martinelli had briefed
me on the situation.

I was hoping, well, we were all hoping,
we could find some way to defuse the

situation. I just... I just can't
believe he killed himself.

Jesse, Alex, I'm sorry. I'll have to
conduct a gunshot residue test on you.

fact, I'll have to test you all.

That's okay, but you should know we're
all covered in residue.

We're at the range this morning.

Qualifying test.

Lieutenant Sloan?

Hannah Bernstein, NIS.

I understand some of our people are
involved in a situation.

Uh, Steve Sloan. Who called you? I did.

NIS has jurisdiction over cases
involving military personnel. Not off

Within the city, it's LAPD jurisdiction.

Well, there were no civilians killed or
wounded.

No, but... No civilian witnesses?

What's that got to do with anything?

This is a Navy investigation.

I'll take over.

Nice try, but this one belongs to the
LAPD.

You're only making more for yourself,
Detective.

And I would think you would have other,
more pressing matters.

Why don't you let me worry about my time
management, Warrant Officer Bernstein?

I've started my investigation. I'm going
to see it through.

Do as you like. I intend to.

Fine.

So, Thomas's death was suicide.

Yes, sir.

It appears to be, sir.

What would make it definitive for you,
detective?

I'd like to take a look at Thomas'
medical records for state of mind.

records are confidential.

Yes, but Thomas is dead and I want this
cleaned up quickly. Release the records.

Yes, sir.

Were you ever in the service, Lieutenant
Sloan? Yes, sir, infantry.

Now? Two tours.

Well, then you understand the military
likes to clean up its own mess.

This is just routine, sir. We'll tread
lightly.

Good day, sir.

Morning, Officer Bernstein.

Look, maybe we got off on the wrong
foot.

I'm not trying to tell you how to run
your investigation or show you up or

anything like that.

I didn't say you were.

I'm just trying to do my job.

Okay.

So, why don't we cooperate?

You know, share information.

Work together.

We could do that.

Great.

Good. Well, I'm glad we had this talk.

Just don't do anything without telling
me.

You okay?

Yeah. It's been a long day.

It's only ten o 'clock.

Well, I didn't get much sleep last
night. I was working a double shift at

Mini Martin, and I still had to study
when I got home.

What time did you get to bed?

You remember what med school was like?

Fortunately, I forgot all about the not
sleeping part.

I'm glad I ran into you, though.

I was wondering if you had any odd jobs
that need doing around the house or

anything.

You looking for more work?

Well, I don't have my dad to go to
anymore for help, and I'm a little

Pretty much got to take care of
everything on my own.

Well, Alex, I admire your work ethic,
but I'm a little worried about your

studies and your health.

It's temporary, just until Barbecue
Bob's reopens.

Who knows how long that's going to be.

Has anyone seen Jesse?

Not this morning, no.

I think there's a problem with the
Thomas autopsy report. I think we should

Steve.

Thomas' medical records support the
coroner's findings that he was right

-handed. I could have told you that. I
used to play softball with him. You were

friends? We weren't friends, but I knew
him.

It's a small post. I know most of the
officers.

Thomas was shot in his right temple.

Why would he take the gun in his left
hand and try and shoot himself in the

right side of his head? I don't know. He
was holding the weapon in his left

hand.

Why would he do that?

If he was right -handed, why would he
hold the gun in his left hand?

I don't know why he did. I know that he
did.

The coroner only found traces of gunshot
residue on his left and significant

residue on his right.

So what?

I'm left -handed.

I do lots of things with both hands. For
example, I bat right -handed. Which

hand do you shoot with?

What does it matter what I do?

Hank Thomas had a weapon in his left
hand.

He shot himself in the head. I saw him.

Now, you can ask your friend, Dr.
Travis. He saw him holding the weapon in

left hand. He saw him fired into the
ceiling.

He's hiding something.

How do you know?

Gut feeling.

Okay, guys, tell me what you think.
Honestly, I'm thinking about getting a

machine for the restaurant.

A cappuccino machine and a barbecue
joint?

Yeah, ribs and latte. That makes a lot
of sense.

Here.

Right there.

What's Alex doing out there?

I've got him repairing those broken
tiles on the roof.

I hate flower puzzles. All the pieces
look the same.

Jess, are you positive Thomas had his
gun in his left hand?

Steve, I saw what I saw. He used his
left hand.

Yeah, but it's possible that he
transferred the gun to his right hand

shot himself.

After he fired one shot under the
ceiling with his left hand.

And three Marine officers are lying
about what happened.

Yeah, Jesse's right. Why would they all
lie?

There it is.

No, I already tried that piece. You had
it upside down. Oh.

How's the coffee?

You went to the air station and
interviewed Captain Davis without me?

Oh, uh, Hannah. Yeah, I, uh... What
happened to let's cooperate? Or I think

got off on the wrong foot.

Well, I was acting on information that
had just come in. I made a mistake. I'm

sorry. You said you would keep me
informed.

I know. I forgot.

I'm sorry.

Can we talk about it?

Sorry.

I know it looks like I tried to trick
you, but I did.

I'm just not used to working with other
people.

Well, if I promise that I'll never do it
again, quit being mad at me.

I haven't given orders to wrap this
investigation up.

Wrap it up?

We haven't even gotten the answers yet.

As far as Colonel Chandler's concerned,
we do. Thomas committed suicide.

What do you think?

Doesn't matter what I think.

Of course it does.

Why don't you just tell him?

This is your first case, isn't it?

No!

Well, I mean, the first case I've
handled, you know, by myself, yes.

Well, what if I could find something
incriminating before you got to me? You

think Chandler lets you stay on the
case?

What could you find?

Think you can get me into Thomas and
Corder?

Are you crazy?

Yeah, a little bit.

How about you?

A little.

What are you hoping to find? As to what
I know?

We'll certainly clear things up.

I don't think we're going to get that
lucky.

Over there?

What can I do for you? Western State
Annuity is delighted to offer you our

service life insurance policy at a
substantial discount if you sign up

Yeah, not interested.

Thanks anyway.

I'm sure once you see the generous terms
we have to offer... Let me ask you a

question. You offer a retroactive
policy?

A retroactive?

Yeah, life insurance for the already
deceased.

Of course not.

Then I'm afraid you're out of luck.

Telemarketer? Uh -huh. So annoying.

Hey.

Look at this.

Can you retrieve them?

With a little help.

You still there, Mr. Tate?

Yes. And you received the search
warrant?

I have it right here.

Do you want me to play the messages for
you now? Go ahead.

Hank Thomas, this is Mega Hits Movies.
The two videos you reserved are ready

pickup. We're open until 11 tonight.

Hi, this is Vinnie at the pro shop,
confirming your tee time for 245.

Thanks. Reserves videos, makes a golf
date, and then commits suicide?

This is Susan Chandler. Please call me
when you get this.

It's important. Thank you.

Susan Chandler?

Colonel Chandler's wife.

I'm confused. I thought Thomas' death
was ruled as a suicide.

We haven't made a final determination on
that yet, Mrs. Chandler.

Your message said it was important for
you to talk to him. Can you tell us why?

Well, certainly, but it had nothing to
do with his death.

I would still like to know, ma 'am.

Well, my husband's being promoted to
general, and Captain Thomas was

officer at the station.

And what I needed was a list of all the
pilots, so I could invite them down to

the officer's club for a surprise
wedding down party.

A wedding down party?

It's a celebration, a break -in, or wet
down his new star with a few drinks.

Did Captain Thomas call you back?

No. I never heard from him.

Thank you very much for your time, Mrs.

Chandler. We're sorry to have bothered
you.

You didn't think that maybe the
investigating officers would want to

that phone call?

No, I couldn't imagine what my phone
call would have to do with his death.

And then I heard the investigation was
closed.

Not by the LAPD.

Well, I'm sorry. I couldn't have been
more help.

Good day.

Nice to meet you.

Please promise me you won't tell Dr.
Sloan or Dr. Travis about this.

Alex. I can't afford to lose either one
of my jobs.

I could have fractured your arm or your
leg or worse, and then where would you

be? It was an accident. It won't happen
again.

Sit down.

I'm fine.

Alex, you don't have to kill yourself
working three jobs to pay for your

education. There are other ways.

Well, I can't take out any more loans.

I'll be paying them off until I retire.

What about the Army?

The Army?

I don't think so.

You know, they'll pay for your medical
education if you just give them a few

years' service.

Amanda, I don't know if you've noticed,
but I'm not exactly the military type.

And how do you know?

Have you talked to anybody about it? Do
you have any idea what the military is

like these days?

Well... Then don't cut off your options
until you know what you're talking

about.

So that's it.

A quick lunch and we close the files on
Thomas' death.

Maybe not.

Did you find something?

Whoops.

What is your point, Lieutenant?

No witnesses, no cooperation, no
evidence of prior incidents.

That's your big investigative
breakthrough.

I already told you there were no
witnesses.

Well, I get the thinking.

Maybe there were no witnesses because it
never happened.

What, you think Romansky just made the
whole thing up?

She just came to me out of the blue and
said, help me, my ex -boyfriend is

stalking me. Thomas doesn't fit the
profile of a stalker, not even close.

You saw the letters he wrote to her?
They were in his file.

I saw some very incriminating typed
letters, unsigned. How do I know they

from him?

You're going along with this?

Just because the letters were unsigned?

Well, there is one other thing.

Uh, we found some notes that Captain
Thomas made for himself on a marijuana

at On Base Housing last November.

Where'd you get this?

Two officers were court -martialed and
given dishonorable discharges. I

remember.

I was the officer on duty at the time.

How do I know this is Thomas's?

We found these notes at his quarters.

I'm sure we can verify the handwriting.

Although, according to you, he had
generally typed incriminating documents.

Captain Thomas wrote that he was present
at the time of the raid, but he was

never charged.

In fact, his name doesn't even appear on
your report.

That's correct.

Why is that?

Captain Thomas was present in the
quarters at the time of the arrests, but

was in another room.

No drugs were found on his person, and
he assured me he had no knowledge of the

presence of the drugs.

Somebody was smoking marijuana in those
small quarters, and he didn't know it.

That's what he said, and I believed him.
You not only excused him without

testing for any drug use, you even
eliminated his name from the report

It was a judgment call.

It was dereliction of duty and conduct
unbecoming an officer.

Captain Thomas was the station's
personnel officer.

I chose not to report something that
would only harm an innocent man's

Lieutenant, if Captain Thomas was using

any personal information about you to
convince you not to arrest him... I'd be

very careful if I were you.

Don't make any accusations. You're going
to regret.

Lieutenant Sloan warned Officer
Bernstein Colonel Chandler must have

office ASAP.

You said you would tread lightly.

Sir, there is a limit to how lightly you
can tread and still manage to conduct a

criminal investigation.

You've gone to my personal quarters,
upset my wife, ruined what would have

a wonderful surprise for me.

Now, if that's treading lightly, remind
me never to go on a recon mission with

you. Sir, we are following a legitimate
investigation.

The investigation of a suicide.

Captain Davis told me about this right
-hand, left -hand crap. It's nonsense.

I may not have any jurisdiction over the
LAPD, but, Warrant Officer Bernstein, I

want your report on my desk tomorrow
morning. Your final report.

Is that understood?

I feel so sorry for Hannah.

It's her first case. She feels like
she's failed.

I guess if you're a naval investigator,
you're supposed to follow orders, not

hunches. I guess.

You know, I hate to admit it, but maybe
Colonel Chandler's right. We're looking

so hard at this thing, we're making
something out of nothing.

Now, there's just too much that doesn't
smell right.

Even the gunshot residue alone is enough
to keep the case open. But GSRs aren't

always reliable, you know.

What, are you kidding?

Yeah, there's always room for doubt.

Not in this case.

Thomas had only a small trace of gunshot
residue on his left hand.

And if he in fact fired the gun, he had
to have done it with his right.

Sloan here.

Oh, hi.

Yeah, I can meet you there in about an
hour.

All right.

It was Hannah.

She wants me to meet her at the air
station.

Says it could have something to do with
the case.

So much for following orders.

This is kind of cloak and dagger, isn't
it?

I'm officially off the case.

Champagne? Non -alcoholic, I presume.

We're both on duty.

So, uh... What did you find out not
investigating?

Well... I started thinking about what
Susan Chandler said. How she was having

surprise party for her husband here at
the officer's club.

And? There are over 150 pilots assigned
to this station.

Susan Chandler said she left a message
on Thomas' cell phone to see if he could

arrange for as many pilots as possible
to come to the party.

Take a look inside.

It is kind of small, isn't it? It
wouldn't hold 75 people, much less 150.

Maybe she was planning on a lot of no
-shows.

I considered that.

So I asked if she had booked the room
for the night in question, or for any

night for that matter.

No party plan.

Hmm.

Which means... She lied to us.

Shocking, isn't it?

Maybe I should have another talk with
her.

Well, did I mention that tomorrow's my
day off?

Nothing more thrilling than a day spent
on surveillance.

You don't think this is exciting?

Following Susan Chandler from her
manicures to her bank to her rye

What were you asking Martinelli about
yesterday?

What do you mean?

When you were asking if Thomas had
anything of a personal nature on him.

Just fishing.

Whenever you get the feeling you're not
telling me everything.

Maybe you're just experiencing guilt
pains because you ran off without me the

other day.

Come on, I was in the service. I've been
on military bases.

Even the bigger ones are like small
towns.

Everybody's got their nose stuck in
everybody else's business.

You're telling me you never heard... I'm
telling you, Lieutenant, that if I knew

anything that had the slightest bearing
on this case, I would tell you.

Unlike some people, I wouldn't just
forget.

Here she comes.

What do we have here?

Don't worry. It's probably just the
maid.

The dump is a maid service.

Captain Davis, Mrs. Chandler, open up.
It's Steve Sloan, LAPD.

Please.

What's the meaning of that?

Can we come in, or would you prefer to
talk about this in public?

What are you doing here?

Not very smart to lie to the police,
Mrs. Chandler.

I don't know what you're talking about.

We want to know why you left that
message on Thomas' cell phone.

And we prefer the truth this time.

All right.

The message is easy to explain.

Funny it wasn't the first time around.

Obviously, Susan and I are having an
affair.

When Thomas found out about it and was
threatening to tell the colonel, Susan

was calling him to ask to...

To beg, not to tell him.

Is it possible you've already dissuaded
him?

Permanently, perhaps?

You really don't give up, do you,
Lieutenant?

You got that right, Captain.

Why did you lie to us, Mrs. Chandler? I
don't think that's any more your

business than it was Thomas's.

Listen, after Thomas killed himself, we
felt safe again.

Now, why would we elect to broadcast our
affair?

Of course, by not doing so, you were
impeding a criminal investigation.

So, the intrepid crime -fighting duo has
uncovered the truth. truth.

Yadgeton is sleeping with the colonel's
wife. Scandalous, disgraceful,

irrelevant. I don't know, Captain.

Blackmail's a pretty strong motive for
murder.

There you go again, talking about
murder. Get it through your thick skull.

Thomas committed suicide.

How awfully convenient for you.

Convenient for me, inconvenient for you.
But that doesn't change the facts.

Nor does it change the fact that you,
Warrant Officer Bernstein, are

a direct order from the base commander.

So,

Do you want to tell Colonel Chandler, or
should I?

Not exactly a match made in heaven.

My experience, most matches aren't.

You must be older than you look.

Anyway, I got a feeling that Davis is
going to be a tough nut to crack.

I agree. We might have better luck with
the others.

Do you have a preference?

My female intuition tells me Romansky
might be the weak link.

Lead on, McDuff.

I was told I didn't have to talk to you,
okay?

On base, maybe.

But the second you walk off this base,
I'll have you picked up and brought in

for questioning.

It'd be very inconvenient.

Lieutenant Romansky, we just want to
clear this thing up.

A couple of questions and we'll leave
you alone.

You had an affair with Captain Thomas.

I told you that we were engaged.

According to your 201 file, you were
married to someone else.

Yet my first husband died in Bosnia.

I'm sorry.

But before he was transferred overseas,
he served in the same battalion as

Captain Thomas. Isn't that correct?

Yes, but we weren't having an affair
then, if that's what you're implying.

I barely knew Hank before my husband
died.

Was Captain Thomas the battalion
personnel officer back then?

What does this have to do with Hank's
suicide?

Isn't it possible that Captain Thomas
was responsible for having your husband

transferred to Bosnia?

I think that's more than a couple of
questions.

And despite your threats, Lieutenant
Sloan, the next time you question me,

going to want a lawyer present.

Well, that went well.

Oh, I was doing fine.

You missed your rounds.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You know, missing rounds can have
disastrous consequences.

As a doctor, your responsibility is your
patient, no matter how tired you are.

I know.

I know.

We have to do something about you, Alex.
I mean, you can't keep this up.

No matter how tired you are, somebody's
going to get hurt or you're going to

hurt yourself.

You know, I've been thinking about
dropping out for a while.

Earning some money and coming back
later.

Oh, I hate to see you do that.

I mean, once you're out, it's hard to
come back, believe me.

There must be something else we can do.

You know, Dr. Bentley mentioned
something. I didn't give him much

but... Were you in the Army?

Yes, so was Steve.

Why?

Can you tell me what it was like?

Me with my old mass shooter in Korea.

God, I was barely older than you are
right now.

Was it rough?

How do you mean?

Being in battlefield conditions,
treating those kind of injuries. I mean,

did you know you could handle it?

You don't.

I know some of them couldn't. Had to be
sent home.

How about you?

Scared to death.

Oh, I got introduced to myself over
there.

I learned self -discipline, though.

I think it made me a better doctor.

How? Oh, you see a wider range of
illnesses and injuries with a lot less

with than you do in a civilian hospital.

Learned a lot.

I felt I was contributing something. You
know, I liked that, too.

But, you know, that's the way it was for
me. You've got to find out for

yourself, Alex.

So that's Steve in Vietnam, huh?

Yeah.

With his platoon on his first tour.

Is that Steve?

No, that's Steve.

Gosh, how can you tell?

But the hair and the uniforms, they all
look alike.

Yeah, they do, don't they?

Thank you very much, Alex.

At first I didn't see it. There was
something that Alex said before.

Jesse, do you remember anything about
the three Marines when they first came

Like what? Did they say anything odd or
act strangely?

Well, you know, I thought it was weird
that they kept their hats on the whole

time and they never took their
sunglasses off, but I figured that was

military macho. Great. Anything else?

I don't know. When I showed them to the
table, one of them told another one, sit

down, sort of like a command.

Who took the order?

I did.

One of them asked for three specials.

Which one said what?

To be honest with you, Steve, I couldn't
tell you.

They all were in uniform. They had short
hair.

Exactly. They all looked alike.

Yes, they did. They all looked alike.

Hey, Steve, you and Amanda and Hannah
come over here and sit where the three

Marines were sitting.

Oh, come on, Dad.

I think I know exactly what happened.

Sit here, and Jesse, you stay by the
register where you were.

Okay, we'll just do a run -through here.

I'll be the shooter, the left -handed
shooter.

Okay, let's just see what develops here.

Okay, three identical Marines at the
table and another one coming in the

Everybody out!

Hey, take it easy, okay?

Hank! Don't do this, please!

Sit down!

Please, Hank! Shut up!

Look, why don't you just put the gun
down, okay?

Go pull the blinds. Okay.

Okay, look, I'm shutting the blinds,
okay? And now I need you to do something

for me, okay?

I got something to settle.

Okay, look, we can work this out. Just
put the gun down.

So you just leave now.

Look, I can't leave while you're
threatening people. Get out of here now

kill them all.

Look, you're making it worse. Go
outside. We'll talk to him. Please.

So as soon as Jesse and Alex are out the
door and can't see what's going on, the

Marines stood Thomas up. They changed
name tags. Thomas for Davis.

I'm going to make you sorry for what you
did.

And then, raising the gun at an angle to
make the wound look self -inflicted,

Davis shot Thomas.

So then Davis drops the gun on the
floor, and Martinoni and Romanski help

get things all set. Then they call out
on Davis' phone and report that Thomas

has committed suicide.

So you think Thomas was at the table the
whole time?

Well, I think with all three of them
looking so much alike, it would be easy

the confusion for the witnesses to make
a mistake.

How is that possible?

I mean, how could they get someone to
cooperate like that?

Maybe he was drugged.

No, there was nothing in the blood
toxicology.

Well, I don't know how they did it or
why they did it, but I am willing to bet

that that's the way it happened.

You have any idea how to prove it?

Not to be away, though.

You're sure about this?

Jag considers her one of their top
lawyers.

Glad I'm not in your shoes, Lieutenant.

Falling out among thieves is never
pretty.

You've made some mistake, ma 'am. I'm
the victim here. Somebody tried to kill

me. And you have no idea who?

No, ma 'am.

What about Captain Davis or Lieutenant
Romanski?

Why would they want to kill me?

They're worried you might be the weak
link in the murder of Captain Thomas.

Forgive me for saying so, ma 'am, but
that's crazy.

Whose idea was it to kill Thomas?

Captain Thomas committed suicide, ma
'am. That's what the three of you wanted

everyone to think, but that's all
falling apart now.

I don't understand what you're saying.

I thought I was here because somebody
shot at me.

Why are you questioning me about Thomas'
suicide?

Because they're connected.

You know it, and I know it.

Why was Captain Davis so concerned about
a simple stalking case?

Surely you could have handled it.

Captain Davis was aware of the reports.
He asked me about them. You originally

said that you asked for the meeting with
Captain Davis to seek his advice.

I did, but Captain Davis had already
asked me to keep him apprised of the

situation. I don't think there ever was
any stalking.

I think Thomas threatened to ruin
Captain Davis by exposing his affair,

Davis turned to you for help.

And why would he do that, ma 'am?

Have you ever been to a bar in Calabasas
called Hunky's?

Excuse me?

It's a simple question.

Have you ever been to a bar called
Hunky's?

I don't know.

Couldn't say that I have.

It's a well -known gay bar, isn't it?

I have a report that says that you've
been there often.

You knew about this.

That's what you were asking him about.

I thought it was pertinent to the
investigation.

With all due respect, ma 'am, I don't
believe you're allowed to ask me a

question like that.

Like what?

I'm not asking if you're gay.

All I'm suggesting is that if someone,
say Captain Thomas, had proof that might

suggest that you were gay and you didn't
want it found out, he might be able to

force you into covering up any problems
he might have.

An arrest for marijuana, for example.

Which might make you willing to go in on
a plot with Captain Davis and

Lieutenant Romanski.

There is no plot, ma 'am.

Then why did they try to kill you?

I want to see you.

Now.

You want to explain to me what you're
doing?

My job.

You filed your final report, warrant
officer.

Captain Thomas committed suicide.

Colonel, it is custom and practice for
an NIS officer to keep a base commander

fully informed on any investigation.

But as you well know, technically, you
are not my ranking officer.

I report to my own independent chain of
command.

It is my prerogative to reopen this
case. And if you have a problem with

suggest you take it up with my superiors
in Washington.

Excuse us, Colonel. We have work to do.

Am I being charged, Commander?

Not yet, Lieutenant.

Then I'd like to be allowed to return to
my post, ma 'am.

Fine.

Just don't end up dead before you come
back to us.

Dismissed.

I thought we had it for a minute.

Commander McPherson.

Would you have another moment?

Yeah. What can I do for you, Dr. Sloan?

I was wondering if you'd talk to a young
friend of mine.

Sure.

You paid me? Yes, I ran the second
toxicology on Thomas's blood, but it

tested negative for drugs.

You're familiar with rehypnol?

The, uh, date rape drug.

Exactly. It causes a semi -hypnotic
state, causing suggestibility and

compliance. It's odorless.

colorless, and tasteless. But more to
the point, its effects last for six to

eight hours, but it's completely out of
the blood in two.

So if Thomas was given Rohypnol over two
hours before he was shot, he would have

been susceptible still when he was
brought to barbecue bars.

And made to sit down quietly with the
others, but compliant enough to stand

while Davis shot him.

How do we prove it? I said the
Rohypnol's out of the blood in two

However, it remains in the urine for up
to 12.

These are Thomas's uniform trousers.
Now, when he was shot, his bladder

I went on a hunch, and I tested the
stains, and they tested positive for

rehypnol. Oh, good work.

Very good.

I told you repeatedly what happened in
that restaurant.

Now, your refusal to be satisfied is
verging on harassment.

Captain Davis, you're in the military
and are subject to as much harassment as

we deem fit to dish out, especially
during a murder investigation.

Oh, so it's a murder now.

Always has been.

Oh, you made a nice try at covering it
up, but it's not going to work.

Traces of the drug you used to dope
Thomas were found in his urine.

And we think we know your motives.

Oh, what would those be?

Thomas was going to reveal your affair
and ruin your chances of promotion.

And I suppose Lieutenant Martinelli and
Lieutenant Romanski just went along with

me out of the goodness of their hearts.

Thomas knew that Martinelli was gay, and
the lieutenant got tired of having it

held over his head. As for Lieutenant
Romanski, we're still checking, but we

have reason to believe that Thomas was
instrumental in having her first husband

sent overseas, where he died.

So you think I impersonated Davis and
then shot him in the head?

Yes.

Did you find any fingerprints on the
gun?

Only Thomas's.

Any skin flakes?

No.

Any traces of fluorosinolone?

Fluorosinolone? It's a hydrocortisone
cream used to treat severe eczema.

Well, in this case, dyshydrotic eczema,
carotid acampalajoon.

See, even with the fluorescent alone, I
can't get rid of this stuff.

And if I had shot Thomas, there'd be
skin flakes and cream on the gun grips.

So give it up.

It wasn't suicide.

I keep thinking about Davis and the smug
look on his face when he held his hands

up. We almost had him.

And without proof, it's all just a
bluff.

He was right about the Rohypnol, too.
You can't take it as a sedative like

Valium. Yeah, we know he wasn't using it
that way, but knowing and proving are

two different things.

Took the old .45 out the range today,
huh? Yeah, good way to blow off steam.

You know, Thomas and the others were out
at the military range before they came

to Barbecue Box.

Yeah, is that important?

I don't think it could be very
important.

Kind of make some more accusations based
on your unprovable theories.

You've been talking to Captain Davis.

What did you expect?

Well, we really expected we'd have to
get one of you to break before we could

prove you were involved in this
conspiracy.

But then it became unnecessary.

What do you mean? Well, I had the
dynamics of this situation a little bit

Davis didn't shoot Thomas.

You did.

What do you expect me to do, break down
and confess?

You guys are ridiculous.

Thomas's prints were on the outside of
his gun.

So? Well, somebody had to reload Thomas'
gun when you left the firing range.

And your fingerprints were all over the
magazine and the bullets.

I didn't want to have anything to do
with it. Shut up.

Robert and Davis planned it.

Look, Davis knew he would lose the
promotion if his affair came out.

Why did you go along with it?

He sent my husband to Bosnia, where he
was killed.

I mean, he told me about it when I broke
up with him, and...

And then he bragged about it.

He only did it so he could have me.

I hated him.

Jane, shut your mouth.

He's bluffing.

Just keep your mouth shut.

It's going to be their word against
ours.

Smile.

You're on candid camera.

He's on the move. Let's go.

Let's go. Nice job.

Yeah, it was.

Did you get it all? I might even get you
a segment on America's sloppiest police

chases. Oh, funny.

Not bad for an army guy.

Sure you want us all here?

Of course I do. You guys are my family.

This is a big step.

I know, and that's why I want all your
support.

I'm sure you're doing the right thing.

Well, after I'm sworn in, the Navy will
pay for me to finish medical school, and

then afterwards I'll owe them four years
of service.

Until then, I'll be enrolled in the ROTC
program.

Here we go.

We'll be right in.

Can I do some checking?

Both Davis and Romanski have solid
alibis for the night Martinelli was shot

They've all confessed to the murder.

Why worry about who shot at Martinelli?
Because this time their alibis are real.

Hannah, an investigator that wasn't very
good or didn't believe in himself might

have to stoop to tricks like that to
force a confession.

But you shouldn't have to.

You're too good, Hannah.

And you swear to uphold the Constitution
of the United States of America and

protect her against all enemies.

I do.

Welcome to the Navy, Cadet.

Thank you.

Congratulations.
