Teakettle Base,
this is Choctaw 6-3-1.

Range time, 20 seconds.

How we looking, Lieutenant?

Right on the numbers, sir.

Accelerating to 600 knots.

Teakettle Base, this
is 6-3-1, over the gate.

Commencing the first high-angle
attack maneuver in ten seconds.

Roger, Commander.

Let's see what this
modified bird can do.

Turn on your data
recorder, Lieutenant.

Aye, sir.

Here we go, Lieutenant.

Control, commencing pull up...

now.

Compressor stalled.

Lost the port engine, too.

Teakettle Base,
departing controlled flight.

Initiate engine
restart procedures.

Attempting restart.

Come on.

Come on...

Control, we got a relight.

Oh, yeah.

Not bad.

Piece of cake, Sandy.

Yeah, I know.

You can't believe
we get paid to do this.

I must be getting predictable.

Anything but, Scotty.

Nice save, Scott.

Had you worried, Harm?

Last flat-out spin I was
in, I had to punch out.

Lieutenant, meet Commander Rabb.

We flew together in the Gulf.

This is Lieutenant Winters.

Nice to meet you, Lieutenant.

Nice to meet you, Commander.

Harm's taking on
flight duties here

for personnel who've
been deployed.

Just some chase plane duty.

Nothing exciting.

The lieutenant has agreed

to take a backseat for you.

Any friend of the
commander's, sir.

Commander Webster.

Captain Garland,

Pax River JAG, sent me.

A copy of charges against you

alleging you fraternized
with Lieutenant Winters.

Until this matter is resolved,

you will be
relieved of all duties.

Hey, I called you
three times last night.

Sorry, I wouldn't have
been very good company.

Scott, you're being
relieved of duty,

not banished.

Doesn't feel that way.

You know, nothing happened

between the
lieutenant and myself.

And it's not that we weren't
attracted to each other.

I mean, if you'd been hanging
with us, you would have assumed

something was going on.

You can't be tried on
assumptions, Scott.

No, but you can be
destroyed by them.

Since when did you
become a defeatist?

When I couldn't
beat Helen's cancer.

She, uh...

God, she hated this picture.

She always said that the
outfit made her look heavy.

See the way her fingers
are resting on my shoulder?

I could feel them
there, like that,

for months after she died.

I need the house key.

I lost mine.

You, uh...

You going to be
home when I get there?

Doubt it.

Bill, we got to talk.

I'll just leave it
under the mat. Bill...

He hasn't said a word
to me since yesterday.

He believes the charges

and he thinks I betrayed
the memory of his mother.

He's a teenager, Scott.

Well, that wouldn't
be much of a problem

if I had been around more
when he was growing up.

Being deployed so often, it
was Helen who raised him.

We were just getting
to know each other.

Yesterday was the first day

I felt he was
actually proud of me.

Has JAG assigned
you a lawyer yet?

I don't know.

I haven't heard.

Let me speak to them, okay?

You have somebody in mind?

Yeah, an old friend of yours.

Hey, cutie!

Daddy!

Hi, sweetie.

How'd you know we'd be here?

Because I know you, Isabel.

Hey, you want to get
some fries? Mm-hmm.

Yeah? Come on, honey.

Isabel.

Whoa! Oh, excuse me.

Lieutenant, I want to request

sanctuary. I'm sorry?

For my daughter and me.

My wife is
overreacting, Lieutenant.

You know how it is.

We're not married.

We've been legally
separated for months.

What's the complaint, ma'am?

Physical abuse.

He broke her arm.

Absolutely false.

Okay, sir, I am going to
have them come with me.

For the time being.

Now, of course, you
have legal recourse.

You can get in touch...

I-I'm aware of my
options, Lieutenant.

I'm an attorney.

You love me, sweetie?

Yeah.

Me, too.

Ma'am, this way.

Hey.

Hello.

Hello.

Commander Rabb's
a friend of my dad's.

They used to fly together
in the Gulf of Sidra.

This is Monica.

She's my, uh... French tutor.

Bill.

Sorry.

It's a pleasure.

You have no idea.

Don't listen to him.

My dad okay?

Well, you know, it's
not his best day, Bill.

No.

You know anything about this?

Only what I see.

And what's that?

The way they look at each other.

Well, you know, Bill,
that's not proof of anything.

We got to go.

Admiral Blackstone referred
the court-martial charges.

As Pax River Staff Judge
Advocate, I cleared it

with the Trial Services
Office, and I'll be prosecuting.

Here's your
discovery, Commander.

Four witness statements.

Who filed the initial
complaint, Captain?

Anonymous call
to the 800 hot line.

Inquiry is required on
potentially credible complaints.

Most of them go nowhere.

This one panned out.

You're welcome to use my
office to confer with your client.

Thank you, sir.

I used to be his friend.

Now I'm your client.

Well, keep your chin up, Scott.

We're just getting started.

Now let's have a seat.

Have they got anything?

Well, seems pretty vague

except for this testimony
from a Lieutenant Man-tee.

Mantei.

He's one of my test pilots.

What should I know?

Well, he recently
requested a transfer

to the Joint Strike
Fighter project.

I refused.

I recommended
Lieutenant Winters instead,

and he said I was favoring her.

Were you?

You know me better than that.

I do, but when Captain
Garland asks you

the same question on the stand,

you're going to need a
better answer than that.

You're right.

He's also going to ask you

if you transferred
Lieutenant Winters

out of your chain of command

so that you could act openly
on your attraction to her.

That's not why I promoted her.

But the thought
did come to mind.

Here you go.

What does it say?

"Big hug, Barney."

Barney?

Yeah. Don't ask me to sing.

MacKENZIE: Only
your base CO can issue

a Title 18 bar
letter, Lieutenant.

Can you help me
with that, ma'am?

Do you have a
legitimate complaint?

Abuse of both myself
and our daughter, ma'am.

Are you sure you're not
running from a bad marriage?

You think I'm making
this up, Colonel?

I don't know yet.

Well, until you do, can you
give us the benefit of the doubt?

Has your husband hit
you recently, Lieutenant?

He hit Katelyn, ma'am.

He broke her arm.

Were you there when it happened?

No, but...

What did your daughter
have to say about it?

That it was an accident.

But only because she's
too young to believe

that her father would
hurt her intentionally.

Lieutenant, without
proof of immediate danger

to you or your child, an
argument for a bar letter

and sanctuary
will be a tough sell.

Colonel, my husband has
an uncontrollable temper,

especially when
he gets frustrated.

When Katelyn was a
baby, he threw her in the crib

because he couldn't
make her stop crying.

He was three feet away
from the crib at that time.

All right.

Let me see what I can do.

Thank you.

Who's your husband's attorney?

Himself.

Really?

That's Seth.

Is she afraid of sleeping alone?

Yes, she is.

How do you know that, ma'am?

Uh, just, uh, give
me a minute, will you?

Sure.

Let's get right into this, huh?

I'm going to need you to tell me

all about your relationship

with Lieutenant Winters.

Any public physical
contact you might have had...

A congratulatory kiss,

a good night peck.

Anything that
might be construed...

Scott?

I'm going to need
you to stay with me.

I'm sorry, Harm. Sure.

I, uh, I assumed Bill
would be back by now.

You know, I saw Bill

in the base parking
lot with a girl.

What girl?

Well, he said she
was his French tutor.

I didn't know he had one.

I'm not so sure he does.

Oh, I see.

Is there something
you want to talk about?

No, no.

We got... bigger holes to patch.

Anyway, wh-what were
you asking me before?

Uh, about your public
and private relationship

with Lieutenant Winters.

What do you mean by private?

Well, letters

you might have written, e-mails.

No, nothing damaging.

You mind if I check
your computer?

Why?

Well, the government is likely

to want to take a look
in your personal e-mails.

I'd like to see what's
in there before they do.

Knock yourself out.

Why don't I start with that?

Okay.

Yes?

This is he.

Where is he now?

Oh, thank you, Sergeant.

I'll... Yeah, I'll
come right over.

Bill was, uh, just
picked up for speeding.

And evading arrest.

You want me to go with you?

No, no.

I don't want to drag you
any further into my life, Harm.

You just, uh... do
what you got to do.

I'll be right back.

"We are pleased you're
considering acquiring

a sample of stealth coating
for the sum of $50,000"?

Bill, come back here, son.

I don't want to talk about it!

How about we
finish that six-pack?

How about you
have a seat, Scott?

What project are you
currently working on?

Uh, we're developing
a stealth coating

that won't degrade

so the jets can operate
from the carriers.

Well, what are these?

This is e-mail from a
company called Siecle Tech.

They're pleased you're
considering acquiring

a sample of stealth
coating for them.

They're willing to give
you $50,000 upon delivery.

No, I've never seen
these before, Harm.

They've been read, Scott.

I got them out of the
delete bin in your computer.

The last one is
dated this morning.

Well, what do these
have to do with my trial?

They might have something to do

with your next trial.

Are you accusing me of
selling classified technology?

I'm asking questions.

You have answers?

Not for you.

No? How about for NCIS?

Oh, you'd actually call them?

What planet are living on?

Harm, you're misreading this.

I found a loan application
on your computer.

I wouldn't have
to take out a loan

if I was selling
government secrets.

Where's the stealth
coating, Scott?

Where it always has been.

The base...

in the lockup.

You were considering it.

No.

They got back to
you three times.

Call NCIS.

I can't do that.

Why not?

You have to trust
me on this, Harm.

Call them, or I will!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wait a minute.

I'm your client.

Isn't any communication
between us

protected information?

Not if you're planning

the future commission
of a crime, it isn't.

Well, I'm not.

And you can't prove that I am.

Harm, without evidence
you could be prosecuted

for abusing
attorney-client privilege.

You could be disbarred.

MacKENZIE: Not only can't
you turn in this hypothetical client,

you still have to defend
him on the frat charge

unless the judge
let's you off the case.

What if I've already asked
and was told that I can't

because the trial is too close?

Then you're stuck.

And so I get him off,
he goes back to work

with unlimited access
to sensitive material.

Does he?

Why wouldn't he?

Harm, you didn't drive
75 miles at this hour

to pose "what if" questions.

You know the
law as well as I do.

No, I came here
for the bad coffee

and to catch you
in your pajamas.

If you're thinking about
breaching confidentiality,

forget it.

It's a career-ender.

Mac, we're talking
about national security.

Didn't you say he hasn't
actually done anything?

So, what about the
next time he's tempted?

I mean, how do we
guard against that?

You can't.

But you have to
have clear evidence

a crime is about
to be committed.

Stop looking for a magic bullet.

Have you always
been this annoying?

Isn't that why you came here?

Ooh, the puppy's tongue is blue.

Is he cold? Is
that a cold puppy?

Sweetie, all we had
was orange juice.

Is that okay?

Uh-huh.

Okay.

A little person.

What's she doing here?

Oh, waiting for her mother.

Can that happen someplace else?

She's not causing
any trouble, Lieutenant.

I need these notes transcribed.

Oh... oh, no.

No, oh... CHEGWIDDEN:
Lieutenant Sims,

where's the gunny?

Uh, he asked
for the day off, sir.

Where'd this child come from?

Her mother's in with
Colonel MacKenzie, sir.

She shouldn't be here, sir.

I was trying to remove her.

Hi, I'm A.J.

Hi.

Do something about
that uniform, Lieutenant.

Scott, I think you
should tell the judge

you want another lawyer.

Why?

You know why.

Do you believe
that I'm innocent?

On the fraternization
charge, maybe.

Then I still want
you to represent me.

You may have your
doubts about me,

but I have none about you.

Well, you should.

I'm not worried.

It's not in you to
let a client down.

Well, that's all you
are to me now...

a client.

Lieutenant Mantei,
why do you think

Commander Webster chose
Lieutenant Winters over you

for the Joint Strike
Fighter Program?

Objection.

Calls for an
opinion, Your Honor.

Sustained.

I'll rephrase.

Were you surprised
by that action?

No, sir.

Commander Webster
and Lieutenant Winters

are... very close.

How close?

There's a bar in Lexington Park

called the Chase Plane.

Last month, I saw them
kissing in a rear booth.

Thank you.

Nothing further.

Lieutenant, how many
times did you see them kiss?

Once.

Are you aware that
the date in question

was Lieutenant
Winters' birthday?

No, sir, I wasn't.

Isn't it possible, Lieutenant,
that what you saw

was Commander Webster
giving the lieutenant

a congratulatory kiss?

It wasn't that
kind of a kiss, sir.

You had to be helped into a cab

by your friends that night,
didn't you, Lieutenant?

I'd had a few drinks, sir.

A lot. The bartender says
you ran up quite a tab.

Do you deny it?

No, sir.

So why should we believe

you even saw them kissing
to begin with, Lieutenant?

Objection. Argumentative.

Sustained.

You ran an aircraft
off the runway

last year, didn't you?

Objection. Relevance?

Your Honor, the
government raised the issue

of Lieutenant Mantei's
record as a pilot earlier.

That's right.

You opened the door, Captain.

Answer the question, Lieutenant.

Yes, sir, I did go
off the runway.

Isn't this why

you were passed over
for the J.S.F. program?

No, sir.

That was considered a mishap.

Didn't this mishap
occur, Lieutenant,

when you misread your
altimeter on a night landing?

Similar things have
happened to other pilots, sir.

Really? Did it happen
to Lieutenant Winters?

Not that I know of, sir.

Thank you.

Nothing further.

Redirect, Your Honor?

Lieutenant, what ranking did
Commander Webster give you

on your last fitness report?

One out of four, sir.

And for the
record, is that high?

The highest, sir.

No more questions.

MacKENZIE: I believe
Lieutenant Maat's story, Bud.

I just don't know
how to prove it.

Well, I thought you had
it all worked out, ma'am,

that's why you asked the admiral

to represent her
in family court.

I was going on instinct,

hoping I'd be able
to fashion a strategy

as things moved forward.

Well, I'm sure you will, ma'am.

Well, let me tell you
what I don't have.

Direct evidence,
access to prior acts

and an unshakable
principle witness.

Well, what about an
expert witness, ma'am?

Any suggestions?

Sure, Dr. Beth Salluci.

The feminist?

Sure, but she's also

the child abuse
expert, lives in D.C.,

and Harriet and I met her
last month at a fund-raiser.

I've drawn Judge
Merriweather, Bud.

Male and conservative.

Well, I still have her card
if you change your mind.

Thanks.

Why did you let Captain Garland

bring up the fitness
reports on redirect?

There was nothing I could do.

That's an excuse, Harm.

So fire me.

I will... if I think
you're throwing this.

Forget I said that.

I feel like we need a
witness as strong as Mantei.

So get me one.

What about my son?

Things have changed.

He's come around.

Since when?

Recently.

We talked.

I have his support now.

What would he say?

My father and Lieutenant Winters

were just friends, that's it.

I could tell they
liked each other

but it was never
anything more than that.

Did you ever see them
kiss or touch each other

in your presence?

No.

Did Lieutenant Winters ever
spend the night at your house?

No.

How long has it been,
Bill, since your mother died?

Eleven months.

Has your father ever
dated in this time?

He hasn't been interested.

Do you think he's still
mourning your mother.

Definitely.

How did you feel when you heard

that your father had been
charged with fraternization?

I was mad.

For lots of reasons.

Especially because of my mother.

Then when I thought about it,

I realized it was crazy.

It didn't make any sense.

In what way?

Because my father's whole
life has been by the book.

I mean, my biggest
thing with him

has always been
to... "Loosen up, Dad.

They're just rules."

And he would always
say the same thing.

"If I didn't make 'em,
I won't break 'em."

My dad's the straightest
arrow in the navy.

Thank you.

Nothing further.

No questions, Your Honor.

You can step down, son.

Commander Webster served
his country in the Persian Gulf.

His record is not
merely unblemished,

it is distinguished.

The commander is a true
patriot who has dedicated his life

to the service of his country.

Anyone who thinks that
Commander Webster

would do anything to
sully this fine record,

or to betray the trust
and love of his son...

or his country,
does not know him.

I've read into the record

statements from men and women
who served with the commander.

He's revered by all

because he is a fair-minded
and compassionate leader.

Ironically, the qualities

that have made the
commander so beloved

have also made him a target.

His humanity and caring
have been misconstrued

and made to look tawdry
by one bitter individual.

The commander has
crossed no boundary.

Given the opportunity
to serve again,

Commander Webster will prove

that he is worthy of
the uniform he wears.

Commander Scott
Webster, United States Navy,

this court finds you

on the charge and
specification of fraternization

not guilty.

This court is dismissed.

MacKENZIE: Your wife has
agreed to supervised visitations.

It's not acceptable.

Isabel is being vindictive

and aggressive.

Why should I believe

that this behavior will change?

It's not about Isabel,
it's about Katelyn.

Who I miss desperately.

Then why would you
risk losing her altogether?

I'm not going to lose, Colonel.

You have an evidentiary deficit.

I have seven character witnesses

who will testify

to the quality of
my relationship

with my daughter.

One of them is Isabel's sister.

Do you have a counter?

I retain custody.

Isabel can take her on weekends.

Won't happen.

Fine.

Mr. Maat...

I think you broke Katelyn's arm,

and I think you
did it deliberately.

Bud.

Make that call.

Where's Lieutenant Winters?

You're RIO's out on the
flight line pre-flighting.

I'll talk to you from
the command center.

You still think I'm going
to try to sell this stuff?

I'm the same guy
you flew with, Harm.

Funny, I don't recognize you.

Teakettle Base,
this is Choctaw 6-3-1

turning inbound from first run.

Teakettle Base, this
is Choctaw test vehicle.

How do you read me?

Loud and clear, Choctaw test.

6-3-1, this is Teakettle
Base, standing by.

Beginning checklist.

Radar normal.

Check.

Radar altimeter, stand by.

Check.

RAWS gear on?

Check.

Transponder in
standby mode. Check.

Teakettle Base,

this is 6-3-1,
checklist complete.

Roger.

Be advised you have one
radar blip on the scope.

We are not painting
the stealth plane at all.

This is Choctaw test vehicle.

Commencing starboard
turn in ten seconds.

Chase in position.

No return, looking good.

Reversing to port
in ten seconds.

In position.

Rolling out.

Will commence climb in ten.

Roger, test vehicle.

This is Choctaw test vehicle.

Scraping the
ceiling at Angels 5-0.

Chase plane at Angels 5-0.

I got your six, Choctaw.

We never painted you,
Choctaw test vehicle.

Test complete, return to base.

Roger, Base.

Test vehicle out.

Teakettle Base,
this is Choctaw 6-3-1.

Request permission to do a
speed run on the way home.

That's not your
flight plan, 6-3-1.

Since when did you
care about breaking rules?

I'll see you on
the ground, 6-3-1.

Going to Zone Five, Lieutenant.

Yes, sir.

Something wrong, sir?

Why would you
say that, Lieutenant?

I don't know, sir.

I just got the feeling you
were really angry up there.

Has Commander Webster
been talking to you?

No, sir, not specifically

but he hasn't
really been himself.

I thought it was
the security breach.

What security breach?

Oh, I can't talk about
it, sir... classified.

Does this have anything to do
with the commander's project?

Yes, sir.

Is there something
I should know, sir?

Not at the moment, Lieutenant.

Ensign, is Commander Webster in?

No, sir.

Damn.

I needed to get a file.

Which one, sir?

Uh, Lieutenant Winters
gave it to the commander.

Oh, right. That's
classified, sir...

"Need to know."

I'm cleared. You can check.

Yes, sir. I'd have
to verify that.

Would tomorrow
be all right, sir?

Yeah... Yeah,
tomorrow would be fine.

I have another
chase plane milk run.

Dull flying, sir?

You have no idea.

At least you made a lot of
noise today, Commander.

You heard that, huh?

I think you cracked
a window, sir.

Uh-huh.

Sir.

Why don't you just
take the report now?

MacKENZIE: Dr. Salluci,
have you observed signs

of psychological
trauma in Katelyn Maat?

Yes, I have.

Traumatized children
react in one of two ways.

They become
withdrawn, or they act out.

And how has Katelyn reacted?

She acts out.

She's begun hitting
other children in preschool,

defying her teachers,

breaking toys,
that sort of thing.

Did you notice other signs?

Her art is very telling.

When I worked with her,
she drew disturbing pictures.

Ones that showed
children in jeopardy.

We see those kinds of
pictures drawn by victims

of physical abuse.

Is there anything else indicative
of abuse in these pictures,

Doctor?

When Katelyn draws
herself, the figure is very small.

It's dwarfed by all the
other figures in the picture.

This indicates feelings

of fear, or helplessness.

So, there is reason
to think her father

is physically abusing her.

In my opinion, yes.

Thank you. Nothing further.

Your witness, Mr. Maat.

Dr. Salluci, Lieutenant
Maat indicated

that Katelyn's behavior
changed eight months ago.

That's correct.

Are you aware of any
trauma that occurred

in Katelyn's life
around that time?

Yes... you and
your wife separated.

Doctor, Katelyn's
aggressive behavior

her anger, her acting out...

This could be explained by
the change in her home life.

Some of the indicators can, yes.

But her reaction
is very specific.

All of the dominating figures

in her pictures are of you.

Well, what would Katelyn's
attitude be towards me

since I was asked
to leave the house?

Feelings of... abandonment,
resentment, anger.

So, Katelyn's behavior
in my presence

could be attributed to
my having left the home.

Only partly.

But I think...

On how many abuse cases

have you given expert testimony?

Over 50.

And how many times

have you testified on
behalf of the father?

None.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

There's a missing can

of stealth paint.

Where did you get this?

Confidential source.

If I told you, I'd be in breach.

You should have
reported it, Scott.

Harm, cans of coating
get misplaced all the time.

It'll turn up.

If it doesn't, I'll call NCIS.

You're treating
this like it's nothing.

I didn't take it!

I didn't say you took it

I said you didn't report it.

NCIS has no reason to consider
Commander Webster a suspect.

Over two dozen people have
access to the stealth coating.

Why do you ask, Commander?

Captain, Commander Webster
has sold or is about to sell

stealth coating to
a French company.

You care to explain
that Commander?

Sir, while I was preparing

my fraternization case

I uncovered evidence that
the commander was negotiating

sale of stealth coating
to a foreign company.

I found three e-mails
to that effect, sir.

Are we getting into
attorney-client privilege

here, Commander?

Well, I think we've
arrived there, Captain.

"Rule 5-0-2,
lawyer-client privilege:

"Exception...

"if the communication
clearly contemplated

"the future commission

Of A fraud or a crime..."

Is this the case?

I believe it is, sir.

I'll have to send a formal
report to Admiral Chegwidden.

He'll open an ethics inquiry.

If he doesn't find you had
sufficient cause to reveal

a confidential communication...

you could be disbarred.

I understand that, sir.

MacKENZIE: We'd
like to interview

Katelyn Maat at this
time, Your Honor.

We intend to keep this
informal, given the child's age.

You Honor, I don't want

to see my daughter put through
an adversarial proceeding.

Then what are we
doing here, Mr. Maat?

I'll handle this,
Colonel MacKenzie.

Are you concerned for
her psychological welfare?

Yes, Your Honor.

Questioning Katelyn in open
court may traumatize her.

I would rather waive my right

to question her.

May we have a
minute, Your Honor?

What's he doing?

The smart thing.

If you put Katelyn through this

while your husband
sacrifices his case

to spare his little girl

you'll look like an
uncaring mother.

Without Katelyn's testimony,

the judge won't
believe he touched her.

And this judge determines
visitation rights...

Your impression
on him is everything.

He's going to
win this, isn't he?

Commander Webster.

You're under
arrest for espionage

and violation of
security regulations.

Dad?

I'll call you, son.

This way, sir.

I trust that you
breached confidentiality

for a legitimate reason.

Yes, sir.

I just got a call
from Pax River.

They discovered the
missing can of stealth coating

behind a shelf an hour ago.

There's evidence that
workers left it there by accident.

What evidence, sir?

Don't have specifics

but NCIS has closed
their investigation.

Maybe you shouldn't
have acted so hastily.

Admiral, the longer I waited

the more likely
that stealth coating

would be sold, sir.

Take at least 24
hours for the paperwork

on your ethics inquiry
to reach my desk.

Use that time wisely, Commander.

Aye, aye, sir.

Lieutenant, when
did you first notice

there was a can of
stealth coating missing?

Three days ago, sir.

That didn't surprise you

that Commander
Webster failed to report it?

Am I being cross-examined, sir?

Just answer the
question, Lieutenant.

It didn't occur to me, sir.

Anyway, it was recovered.

If I may ask, does this
have something to do

with what happened yesterday?

Yes. I think there was
some stealth coating

removed from the can
before it was returned.

Sir... I'm with the
commander every day.

This is not something
he would do, ever.

I believe otherwise, Lieutenant.

That's because
you don't know him

as well as I do, sir.

I've known the
commander for years.

But you're not in
love with him, sir.

How's Lieutenant Maat taking it?

Well, Colonel MacKenzie's
trying to console her.

I was going to give this
to Katelyn to celebrate.

I talked Colonel MacKenzie
into using Beth Salluci.

Expert witnesses
aren't foolproof, Bud.

You two look like your dog died.

The judge awarded joint custody.

Lieutenant Maat and her daughter

have to return to the base.

Her father's getting
her this weekend.

You think the father
really hurts this kid?

Mothers know these things.

Some mothers.

Excuse me, could you direct me

to the... CEO?

Hey.

Aren't you...?

Monica.

How are you?

I'm a little confused.

Why is that?

I thought you were
Bill Webster's girlfriend.

Yes.

And you're the
receptionist here?

Does Bill know
that you work here?

How did you meet Monica, Bill?

On the road. Her car broke down.

What's going on?

You familiar with a
company called Siecle Tech?

No.

She works for them.

What? No way.

She, uh, she's a
college student.

Look, I'm going
to lay it out for you

so we can move this along.

Siecle Tech has
been trying to purchase

classified material from
your father's program.

I went there to find out

who was behind the effort.

When I saw Monica,
well... it all fell together.

I believe they
sent her after you.

I've already
informed NCIS, so...

we can wait for them

or you can talk to me right now.

You decide.

Did you take some
stealth coating, Bill?

Yes, but I didn't
do anything with it.

I was watching the news,
this woman being interviewed,

talking about how her husband
was at the World Trade Center.

I dumped it in the toilet.

But you were going to sell it.

Military secrets.

Monica said it wasn't
like espionage or anything.

That it was
competition, the way...

the way companies do business.

How'd you gain access
to a secured area, Bill?

I know where my
dad keeps his key.

He was taking a test flight,
so... I went into the cage

and got a can and
took it to a work area.

I poured some into an olive jar.

But then someone came in.

I had to stick it
behind the shelf.

Then, when he got suspended,

I couldn't get back
in there to return it.

So, the email that I
recovered was meant for you?

Did your dad confront
you about this, Bill?

Yeah, but he said since
I didn't sell what I took

that he would cover for me.

Where's Colonel MacKenzie?

Excuse me, sir, do you
have an appointment?

No.

Sir!

Something wrong, Mr. Maat?

You know there is.

My wife and daughter
have disappeared.

They're not back at the base?

Base security reports
having seen them leave

with a blonde female officer.

Tell me where they are.

I've been here all day.

You're lying. Sir...!

Sir!

We got him, ma'am.

Sorry.

All right, all right,
all right, all right.

I'm okay now. You can let me go.

Sorry.

That was stupid.

No, Mr. Maat, that was assault.

You'll be hearing from us

after we appeal
the judge's decision

to grant you joint custody.

You okay, sweetie?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Is there something we
should know, Harriet?

It wasn't me, ma'am.

Looks like someone's
having a bad day.

Lieutenant Maat went U.A. today

with her child.

Is that right, ma'am?

Mm, she was accompanied

by a blonde officer.

That'd be against regulations.

Wouldn't it?

Yes, it would, Lieutenant.

Hmm...

I've finished reviewing
your ethics inquiry.

Yes, sir.

Given the fact that
Commander Webster

was not planning a crime

you have no defense.

No, sir.

However, as it turns out,

he did not commit the crime

you reported in
the first place...

Removing classified
material from the base.

No, sir.

And since he was
covering up for his son,

there was an ongoing crime

so, in my interpretation,
there was no breach.

I believe intent to breach is
sometimes a consideration, sir.

Commander, is it necessary
for you to argue with me

even when I'm
finding in your favor?

Uh, n-no, sir, I-I'm sorry.

I was thinking out loud.

Well, don't. No, sir.

Dismissed.

Aye, aye, sir.

I had to tell them, Dad.

You did the right thing, son.

What's going to
happen now, Harm?

We'll try to plea-bargain.

Bill's testimony against
Siecle Tech in exchange

for reduced charges.

What's going to
happen to my dad, sir?

My navy career is over, son.

Not your professional
career, Scott.

There will be a dozen firms
out there fighting over you.

Won't be the same.

I'm a swabbie, Harm.

I wish to hell you had
leveled with me, Scott.

I could have done something.

I know.

You caught me off
guard with those emails.

Had about two
seconds to think about it.

When I realized that
Bill had to be involved

I got instinctively protective.

Ah, we've been
through so much...

I've invited
somebody to join us.

How are you, sir?

I'm all right, Lieutenant.

You know what they say, Scott.

"Whenever God closes
one door, he opens another."
