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.
