All language subtitles for JAG S07E14 Odd Man Out.eng

What was that?

Relax, Anders.

We got a watch posted.

Get some sleep.

Shh.

Fire in the woods!

Cease fire! Cease fire!

You boys are toast.

Damn.

Exercise over, gentlemen.

On your feet.

How the hell did Bravo
company sneak in here?

Shaw, you had previous watch.

Did Duquette relieve you?

Yes, Sarge.

Where the hell is he?

Sarge, over here.

Corpsman.

How is he, Shaw?

He's dead, Sarge.

A navy corpsman, Petty Officer
Second Class Terrance Shaw

is charged with
Article One Eighteen.

Premeditated murder.

He's accused of beating
Marine Corporal Mark Duquette

to death during a
tactical exercise.

Do we know what
led to the killing, sir?

Allegedly, an argument over
a Saint Christopher medal.

Corporal Duquette had
confiscated it from the accused.

Colonel, you'll prosecute.

Yes, sir.

Commander, you'll defend.

Aye, sir.

Now, I assume you two
are professional enough

to avoid turning this
into a Marine-Navy war.

Yes, sir. We are, sir.

Because if you're not,
any attempts to exploit

inter-service rivalries will
be met with the wrath of me.

Understood, sir.

We don't do that anymore, sir.

Lieutenant?

Yes, sir.

Question.

Didn't you tell me
you'd been notified

you'd be serving as a
member at a murder trial?

Yeah, the very next one, sir.

What?

Well, the colonel is
prosecuting; I'm defending.

Yeah, I thought
that might happen.

Well, how would
that work, though?

MacKENZIE: In
military courts-martial

the parties can know
each other, Harriet.

And still be objective, ma'am?

Oh, sure. Why not?

Hey, it should be interesting.

It's a capital murder case.

Could you sentence
someone to die?

If there was absolutely
no reasonable doubt

in my mind that he's
guilty, ma'am, yes I could.

MacKENZIE: Will the
fact that you're an attorney

prevent you from
reviewing the evidence

in an impartial
manner, Lieutenant?

No, ma'am.

You're also a naval officer.

In this case, a navy corpsman
allegedly killed a marine.

Would you have any problem

finding a navy corpsman guilty

if the government's
case is proven?

No, ma'am.

As a lawyer, the
first thing you learn is

to put your personal
prejudices aside

and weigh only the evidence.

The government
has no challenges.

Lieutenant Roberts is acceptable
to trial counsel, Your Honor.

Lieutenant Roberts...

you know...

both the lieutenant
colonel and myself.

Which of us do you like better?

I'll take this one, Commander.

Lieutenant...

do you have any
particular relationship

with one or the other
of these people?

Well, the commander is
the godfather to my son, sir.

But, on the other hand,
the colonel is his godmother.

That's even-handed
of you, Lieutenant,

but is there anything
that would prejudice you

against Commander Rabb
or Colonel MacKenzie?

Commander Rabb did
try to put my father in jail.

But that is his job.

Colonel MacKenzie
took me off a case

where I was cocounsel,
but I kind of deserved that.

Also... Lieutenant...

given your relationship
with both attorneys

can you be objective?

Absolutely, sir.

Commander Rabb?

Uh, the lieutenant is acceptable
to the defense, Your Honor.

Looks like we have a quorum.

We'll hear opening
statements at 0900 tomorrow.

Congratulations, Commander.

For what?

The admiral told me you
were going to the Super Bowl.

What's this?

And you've got the
best seats in the house.

How did you pull that off, sir?

Seats? As in more than one?

Two to be exact.

Well, it's, uh...

It was a last minute thing.

Oh. Who are you going to take?

Yeah, I'd like

to hear that one myself.

Well, it all depends.

On what?

Tiner's been telling everyone

about your good fortune.

We're all very
excited for you, sir.

Yeah. Yes.

So, uh, where are they?

On the 50-yard line?

Oh, they're a little
better than that.

So, uh, who are you taking?

Yeah. You're cutting it a
little close, don't you think?

Don't look at me. I'm booked.

Admiral, if you have a moment?

Well, uh, when faced
with a difficult decision,

I'm going to do
what I normally do.

Hmm.

I'm going to sleep on it.

Nah. So you're enjoying
this way too much.

Where you going, anyway?

You even going to be here?

The San Antonio's deploying.

NLSO is swamped, so I'm
going T-A-D to New London

to help them out
with legal assistance.

Oh. Once a bubblehead...

Still miss it.

Sounds like a lot
of work, Sturgis.

I hope you don't get stuck

watching the game
in some torpedo room.

Don't you worry, Colonel.

I'll be back in time.

Meanwhile, I trust, you
won't be swayed by...

emotional appeals.

You know me. When
it comes to football,

I'm a careful man.

MacKENZIE: The facts
in this case are clear.

The government will prove

that on the night of November 12

at the Marine Corps Combat
Development Command

Quantico, Virginia,
Petty Officer Shaw,

a navy corpsman,

followed Corporal
Duquette to his duty post.

There, Petty Officer Shaw
beat Corporal Duquette to death

during a dispute

over a Saint Christopher medal

which Corporal Duquette
had taken from the accused.

Means: a blow from a rock.

Motive: a history of
trouble between the men

over a confiscated
Saint Christopher medal.

Opportunity: Petty Officer
Shaw and Corporal Duquette

were alone together,
and were overheard

arguing just before
the murder took place.

Special Agent Gillette,
as lead NCIS investigator

on the Duquette murder case,

can you tell us the
approximate time of death?

According to the
coroner's report

Corporal Duquette was killed

sometime between
1:00 and 3:00 a.m.

And what was the cause of death?

Traumatic cranial hemorrhage.

How would such an injury occur?

Most likely a blow

from a blunt instrument.

Any clue as to the
nature of this instrument?

Tool mark analysis
of the fracture

revealed an irregular pattern.

We also found small fragments

which the coroner identified
as geologic in origin.

So, are you saying

the victim was
beaten with a rock?

That is consistent with
the coroner's analysis. Yes.

What evidence do you have

linking the accused to
this murder, Agent Gillette?

Forensic analysis detected
the presence of the victim's blood

on Petty Officer Shaw's shirt.

MacKENZIE: At
the time of his death,

was the deceased

in possession of a
Saint Christopher medal?

No, ma'am. Thank you.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

Commander Rabb.

Was this alleged murder
weapon ever found?

Investigators at the scene
found no weapon or object

consistent with the injuries
sustained by the victim.

So, we have no way
of knowing conclusively

that the murder
weapon was a rock?

No. Not 100 percent.

There was a watch cap found
near the scene of the crime.

Is that correct? Yes.

Who does that
watch cap belong to?

Objection to this line of
questioning, Your Honor.

Counsels, approach.

Your Honor, Counsel knows
this evidence has been excluded.

Your Honor, I believe

I can make a case
for its inclusion.

Sir, it has been demonstrated

that due to a break in the chain

of custody while in the hands

of NCIS, this
evidence is tainted

and therefore, inadmissible.

DNA found on the watch cap

may prove to exonerate
Petty Officer Shaw

by pointing to another
potential suspect.

This is critical
to the defense...

The objection is sustained.

The watch cap is inadmissible.

Sergeant, why did
Corporal Duquette

take the medal away
from Petty Officer Shaw?

It happened while on maneuvers,
two weeks before, ma'am.

There were two rifle
teams of six each.

As we were
climbing a steep hill,

Petty Officer Shaw's
medal fell outside of his shirt.

It was swinging around.

Is that when Corporal
Duquette took it away?

Yes, ma'am.

Corporal said it was
against regulations

for it to be showing
outside the uniform.

Corporal Duquette is...
was very much by-the-book.

Hmm. So...

what was Petty
Officer Shaw's reaction?

They got into a shoving match.

I had to pull them apart.

Had they ever fought before?

They had a history of conflict.

What happened to the
medal after it was confiscated?

Well, Corporal Duquette kept it.

And where was the medal found

after Corporal
Duquette's murder?

In Petty Officer Shaw's

trouser pocket, ma'am.

MacKENZIE: Do you
know how it got there?

I know this much, ma'am.

Corporal Duquette wouldn't
have given it up willingly.

It would have had
to be taken by force.

Did you see the
accused and the victim

on the night of the
murder, Corporal?

Yes, ma'am.

Corporal Duquette
passed me about 0100

on his way to his post.

He was supposed to stand guard.

So, when did you see
Petty Officer Shaw?

Maybe an hour later, ma'am.

I had gone into
the woods to, uh...

relieve myself.

On my way back, I
saw Petty Officer Shaw

leaving our position.

MacKENZIE: Did you
hear anything else?

Yes, ma'am. I heard

the two of them
shouting at each other.

MacKENZIE: What
were they saying?

It was pretty hard to
hear the words, ma'am,

but they were
definitely going at it.

Petty Officer Shaw seemed
to be pretty worked up.

MacKENZIE: Thank you.

Nothing further.

Let me get this
straight, Corporal.

You recognized voices

but you couldn't hear a
word of the conversation?

No, sir.

Isn't it possible,
Corporal, that

given your
knowledge of animosity

between these two men

you just assumed it
was them arguing?

I was with them every day, sir.

It was Petty Officer Shaw
and Corporal Duquette.

What is your opinion of
Petty Officer Shaw, Corporal?

He's a stand-up guy, sir.

Navy, but he dresses
like us, is as tough as us.

You respect him?

Yes, sir.

Would you trust
him with your life?

I would, sir.

You believe he's the type
of man who'd be capable

of killing another man?

Objection. Calls for an opinion.

Sustained. You know
better, Commander.

Stick with the
evidence or move on.

Petty Officer Shaw,
how did you get

your Saint Christopher
medal back?

I was upset about
the medal, sir.

Couldn't sleep.

So I went out to talk
to Corporal Duquette

and asked him to give it back.

How did he respond?

He said, as long

as I kept it out of
sight, I could keep it.

So he gave it back to you?

Yes, sir. Did you
argue with him?

There was no need to, sir.

Did you kill him?

No, sir.

Why would I?

It's too late to
start deliberations,

but I'd let to get a
sense of where we stand.

We'll take a straw poll.

I'll start us off.

I vote guilty.

I concur, Captain. Guilty.

I vote guilty, too, sir.

Same here, Captain. Guilty.

Lieutenant Roberts?

I vote not guilty, sir.

Your lease has a military clause

which allows you to
terminate due to orders.

Write up a notice.

Mail it to your landlord,
return receipt requested.

Thank you, sir. I
appreciate the help.

I got to be next, sir.
This is an emergency.

Take it easy, Petty
Officer, and have a seat.

We'll get to everyone.

What's the problem?

Some guy was waiting
by the guard shack

and he gave me these.

Divorce papers?

I know, sir.

I have to see my wife.

Please let me
straighten this out.

Did you try to
call, Petty Officer?

She won't answer the phone.

Please, sir, can you
get me off this boat?

We had four "guilty" votes

in the preliminary straw
poll, one "not guilty."

That's enough to
convict right now, sir.

Not before we discuss
the case in full, Chief.

Besides, if possible, I'd like
the verdict to be unanimous,

no matter which
way it comes out.

Lieutenant... You
stand alone here.

Why'd you vote not guilty?

The case against
Petty Officer Shaw

is entirely circumstantial, sir.

Colonel MacKenzie
made a pretty strong case

for his guilt.

The colonel plays
a good game, sir,

but I don't think
she proved her case.

There's reasonable doubt,

and that's all there needs to be

to find the petty
officer not guilty.

Where is there reasonable
doubt, Lieutenant?

I believed Petty Officer
Shaw's testimony.

He explained away every
piece of evidence against him.

With stories that
can't be proven.

Or disproved, sir.

That's why I believe
there's reasonable doubt.

Lieutenant Flavin,
why'd you vote guilty?

The animosity
between the men, sir.

That's not

really an evidentiary reason

to convict, Lieutenant.

Well, I can apply
common sense, Lieutenant.

Before I got my bars, I
was a navy corpsman.

Corpsman are a
special breed, sir.

They don't carry weapons.

They go into the line of
fire to tend to the wounded.

The guys respect what they do.

So if Petty Officer Shaw was
disliked by Corporal Duquette,

the corpsman must have
worked real hard at it.

These two guys hated each other.

That doesn't make the petty
officer a killer, Lieutenant.

No, but as Sergeant
Maccabee testified,

Petty Officer Shaw
and Corporal Duquette

fought on more
than one occasion.

Now, that's a motive.

Chief?

Saint Christopher
medal did it for me, sir.

Corporal Duquette
confiscated it,

he had no intention
of returning it...

Yet it wound up in Shaw's
pocket after the murder.

Well, Chief, there's no evidence

as to how it got back in
the corpsman's pocket.

But that's where it was found.

Now explain that.

Well, I don't have to... And
neither does the defense.

The burden of proof
is on the prosecution.

And the fact is, they can't
prove how it got there.

Morning, sir.

Have a moment, sir?

You're a submariner.

I was ASW Officer
aboard the Oxnard, sir.

What made you a land crawler?

Uh, my C.O. recommended me

for the Navy's law
education program.

Tough to stay away from, huh?

I liked the life, sir.

Well, you ever get
tired of shuffling papers,

you let me know...
I'm shorthanded.

Will do, sir.

Skipper, a Petty Officer
Derek Newton came to see me.

Seems his wife is attempting
to dissolve their marriage.

Right before deployment?

Well, she's young, sir.

The petty officer
would like to go ashore

and talk to her.

Oh... are you acting as
his attorney, Commander?

No, sir, just trying
to help the kid out.

We're deploying, Commander.

I need every hand just
to make my deadline.

The petty officer will be on
duty for the next 48 hours.

Sir, you're going to deny him
the chance to save his marriage?

No, Commander, I'm giving
that responsibility to you.

The case against

Petty Officer Shaw is not
all circumstantial, Lieutenant.

Corporal Anders heard
Petty Officer Shaw

and Corporal Duquette arguing

right before the murder.

Well, when questioned
by Commander Rabb,

Corporal Anders couldn't

prove who or what
he heard, ma'am.

His view of the
men was obscured.

He only heard voices.

He identified those voices

as belonging to
Petty Officer Shaw

and Corporal Duquette.

Commander Rabb's cross
showed Corporal Anders

couldn't make out a
single word they said.

But Corporal Anders never
recanted his testimony.

What about you, Captain?
Why did you vote "guilty?"

The victim's blood on
the corpsman's shirt.

I don't know, Lieutenant.

It's going to be
interesting watching you

try to convince all of us

that, uh, Petty Officer
Shaw was innocent.

So far, I don't see a
reasonable doubt in sight.

And what can I get for you, sir?

Okay, three eggs over easy,

bacon well done, Thank you.

Toast well done,

large orange juice.

Maybe you better repeat it.

Wreck the eggs,

burn the bacon,
tan the toast and...

supersize the juice.

Anything else?

I'm free Saturday night.

What a surprise.

Hmm.

Ms. Sue Ellen Newton?

I'm Commander
Turner, JAG lawyer.

Ah, can we talk about this?

You his lawyer?

Well, I'm not here
representing your husband,

I'm just here to, uh,
express his concerns.

Sorry, my shift's just about
over, and I got errands to run.

Well, can I ask you
why you're doing this?

Sure wish you wouldn't.

Have you stopped loving him,

Mrs. Newton?

I'm not going home

to an empty
apartment every night.

You didn't answer my question.

That's... 'cause I don't know.

You want coffee?

Lieutenant Singer,

I see you let your
hair out of it's prison.

I'm sorry, I, uh...

I thought that you were,
uh, another lieutenant.

Thankfully, I am. And you are?

Sergei.

Lieutenant Sims, I
see you met my brother

Sergeant Sergei Zhukov.

We were just getting
acquainted, yes.

There was a, uh,
misunderstanding.

I'll say.

How's the apartment hunting?

I found a place.

Cheap, by American standards,

but, in Russia, it would buy
you a commissar's dacha.

And what's this?

Um, discharge papers
from the Russian army.

Documents for the INS.

We're applying for
permanent resident status.

It's the first step.

Oh, so from Sergeant
Zhukov to Citizen Zhukov?

It would be nice someday.

Uh, I was confused by
some of the questions

from the immigration lawyer.

I was hoping you
would have some time.

You found an apartment,

the least I can do is
help make you legal.

Excuse us. Mm-hmm.

Come on.

How do you explain this blood,

Lieutenant?

Petty Officer Shaw
testified he got blood on him

when he tried to treat Corporal
Duquette's wounded arm.

It... sir, it's in the notes.

Uh...

Here we are.

"Corporal Duquette
lacerated his forearm

"on some sharp rocks.

"When I started
to apply treatment,

"I accidentally
touched the wound,

and he yanked his
arm away in pain."

Ever been in the field, son?

No, sir. Tell him, Lieutenant.

Every time a corpsman
hands somebody a pill,

treats a bug bite,
puts on a Band-Aid,

he logs it in his little book.

No record of treatment.

Petty Officer Shaw testified

that he tried to treat
Corporal Duquette,

but the corporal
refused treatment.

So there would
be no record, sir.

Convenient for the
corpsman, Lieutenant.

What about the St.
Christopher's medal

that was found in Petty
Officer Shaw's pocket?

How do you explain that, sir?

The corpsman testified

that Corporal Duquette
returned it to him.

They didn't like
each other, sir.

Relevance, Chief?

It's a bad blood stuff.

If Corporal Duquette
hated the Corpsman,

why return the medal?

Duquette's dog tags.

What about them?

Name, rank, social
security number,

blood type...

And religion.

Catholic. Just like Shaw.

Maybe that's why he
gave back the medal...

Duquette was a fellow Catholic.

I think you're
reaching, Lieutenant.

Well, faith is very
important to some people.

You want to at least
acknowledge the possibility

that shared religion
played a role?

Got to hand it to you, Roberts.

That's a shrewd observation.

Are you considering changing
your vote, Lieutenant Flavin?

No, Captain.

Lieutenant Roberts, why don't
you start us off this afternoon?

I'm interested in
what you have to say.

Glad to, sir.

But, before you do, I'd
like to ask you a question.

What kind of lawyer are you?

I'm still learning, sir,
but I have good teachers.

Colonel MacKenzie?

Well, she's a brilliant
lawyer, ma'am.

What about Commander Rabb?

No one better in the courtroom.

Sir, may I ask why
this is all important?

I was wondering what
you saw that we didn't.

Blood evidence that
can be explained away,

a Saint Christopher medal
that no one ever saw returned,

voices in the dark

and witnesses that are
uncertain of their testimony.

That's all the evidence we have.

All that we were
allowed to have, sir.

Something was excluded
on a legal technicality.

You remember the sidebar?

Yes.

Well, the defense was arguing

to try to get a piece
of evidence admitted.

What are you talking
about, Lieutenant?

You mean the watch cap, sir?

Yes, it was found at
the scene of the crime,

and from defense
counsel's reaction,

it's obvious that it was vital.

Well, what does that
tell you, Lieutenant?

Well, we don't know who the
watch cap belongs to, ma'am.

So, maybe there's
another suspect out there

that we're not being
permitted to know about.

Can't base your decision on
excluded evidence, Lieutenant.

No, I know that, sir.

There's something else,
though, isn't there, Lieutenant?

I know how the game is played.

Trial counsel wants to
block some evidence.

She pulls a legal maneuver, and
she gets the evidence excluded,

which forces us to
determine a man's fate

without having all the facts.

You need to ask yourself
this question, Lieutenant.

If you didn't know about
the excluded evidence,

would you still vote not guilty?

Yes, sir.

So would I, sir.

Let's start at the beginning.

"How many parents
are U.S. citizens?"

That's easy. One.

"Have you ever been
convicted of a felony?"

Of course not. Well,
you have to ask.

It's... "no."

"Have you ever engaged

in illicit trafficking of
narcotics or contraband?"

"No" again.

"Prostitution?"

I'll take that as a "no."

"Received income
from illegal gambling?"

Well, we played
cards for bread rations

in the prison in Chechnya.

We'll go with a
"no" on that one.

Uh... "Are you now
or have you ever been

a member of the
Communist Party?"

I was a member of
the Young Pioneers,

but we all were.

We'll make that a "no."

Uh, this, I didn't understand.

Polygamy. "Have you
ever practiced polygamy?"

It means "Have you ever
had more than one wife?"

I'd be happy just
to have a girlfriend.

All right, let's see.

The rest are just
standard questions

about your finances.

I'll go ahead and fill it out

later or-or we can do it now.

You know Lieutenant Singer, no?

Yes.

Why? How do you know her?

Oh, we met casually,
passing ships in the night.

You're going to have to do

a little better
than that, Sergei.

She came by your apartment.

When I wasn't there? Why?

She seemed very curious
about how you lived.

What did she do?

She poked around, took
a look through your mail.

She seemed most
impressed by your bedroom.

Really?

Well, the lieutenant and I

will have to have
a little conversation.

Don't be too harsh with her.

I sense that she's a
woman of great... yearning.

Be careful.

I think that she
is very beautiful.

That's your dark
Russian soul talking.

Listen to me, little brother.

There are plenty
other ships in the sea.

You don't need to get
involved with that icebreaker.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

No, it's-it's not that.

It's this.

A woman at the INS office said

that since September 11,

things have slowed down,
and there is much more scrutiny,

so an application could
take maybe three years.

Well, this is not
going to take that long.

Harm, I can't work until I get

my immigration status
adjusted, and I need a job.

I told you, I'm going
to take care of you.

I want to take care of myself.

You will. Soon.

Look, Sergei, you're the
son of an American war hero

who gave his life
for his country.

I'm gonna do everything I can.

I'm gonna get the
admiral to write a letter.

I'm gonna have the SECNAV
fast-track this application.

You're not gonna have to wait.

Is that fair?

After what you've been
through, I think it's more than fair.

Good night.

Uh, do you think
he's abandoning you?

Is-is that what this is about?

You just can't let it
rest, Commander.

No, ma'am, I can't.

Look, when I first met Derek,

he was a mess management
specialist on shore duty.

And then the assistant
food service officer

on the San Antonio
broke his foot,

and Derek was
assigned to the sub.

He was called to duty, ma'am.

Thousands of wives each year

are forced to deal
with deployments.

They're not divorcing
their husbands over it.

And I'm willing to bet that
they didn't run away from home

when they were 17, either.

I told Derek when he proposed

that he was the only family

that mattered to me,
and now, he's leaving.

Well, are you aware
that the Navy has

ways of assisting
couples that are...?

Look, this is real hard
for me to talk about.

If your husband were here,

could he change your mind?

He's not here.

He's shipping out.

Sir, I understand

that you have
Super Bowl tickets.

Yeah, yeah, I, uh, I
have a couple seats.

That's great, sir.

I have always wanted to
go to the Super Bowl, sir.

I mean, of course, in
our current situation,

with me being on the
panel and you being

defense counsel, it
would be inappropriate

for me to ask who you're taking.

But perhaps, after the trial...

Bud, in case you've forgotten,
we are throwing a party,

and I am not going to
roll 60 sushi hand rolls

while you're collecting
Mardi Gras beads.

Wow, you're serving
sushi at the party.

We could all eat
a little healthier.

Well, I'm sorry I'm
going to miss the fun.

Us, too, sir.

Morning, Colonel.

MacKENZIE: Good morning.

I just don't understand
how you walked away

with two seats to the
biggest game of the year.

Well, I have friends
in high places.

Come on, Harm.

Who's your benefactor?

I'll tell you what.

If you can guess,
maybe I'll take you.

Really?

What about Sturgis?

I'm going to give
you the first shot.

Okay.

Well, normally, I would guess
you got the seats from Renee.

She's got the contacts,

but obviously, you're
disconnected now.

We are.

There's always Webb,

but if he had an
extra set of tickets,

he certainly wouldn't
give them to you.

Bobbi Latham had
tickets last year,

but she didn't take you,
'cause she was mad at you.

And this year,
she's even madder.

You know, this is feeling more

like a slap in the face.

I thought you were supposed
to be sucking up to me.

Whichever way will work.

Try the positive approach.

Okay.

Please, Harm, I want to go.

And as your best
friend, I will be

forever grateful if you take me.

Pretty good.

Really?

Yeah, but Sturgis
said the same thing.

Lieutenant Flavin, I'd
like to start with you.

Fire away.

Now, you have
experience as a corpsman?

Correct.

And have you seen combat?

Yes, the Gulf.

Now, the men that you
were deployed with, uh,

did they get in fights
with each other?

At times.

And were there any serious
injuries in those fights?

I patched up a few, but,
uh, for the most part, no.

And were the men still angry

with each other
after the fights?

Not always.

Sometimes, they
ended up friends.

So, the long
history of bad blood

between Petty Officer
Shaw and Corporal Duquette

might have ended in
friendship instead of bloodshed.

There's that chance.

Ma'am, are you convinced

Corporal Ander" testimony

about overhearing
the argument is

in itself, enough to
convict Petty Officer Shaw?

No.

I took it into consideration
along with the other evidence.

Which leads us to the
matter of the blood, sir.

Petty Officer Shaw
testified that he tried to treat

Corporal Duquette when
Corporal Duquette lacerated

his forearm on a
rock earlier in the day.

So says Petty Officer Shaw.

Well, the coroner's
report did note

that there were lacerations
on the corporal's forearm.

That could have occurred
during the struggle.

Or it could have happened

when Petty Officer
Shaw said it did.

All we know is that
it's another explanation

for the matter of the blood.

But does it rise to the level of
reasonable doubt, Lieutenant?

I believe it does, sir.

So do I.

So do I.

I think it's time
to take a vote.

This arrived this morning.

It's from the immigration lawyer

who reviewed my
preliminary paperwork.

"Evidentiary questions
have been raised

"regarding your application.

"In the absence of proof

"that U.S. Navy Lieutenant

"Harmon Rabb was
your biological father,

"your application for permanent

legal residence status
has been denied."

They're going to send
me back to Russia.

Well, we'll appeal.

I have no proof.

There are no birth records,

letters, photographs.

No memories, even.

Harmon Rabb, Sr., died
before I was even born.

Sergei, there are other
ways of proving paternity.

DNA tests. I'll give blood.
I'll prove we're brothers.

No, the INS officer
said that wasn't enough.

They need a direct link.

I could call my mother,
but she can't help.

She doesn't even know

where my uncle
buried our father.

Hmm, you have a mother here.

She's your mother.

Ah, but she was
married to our father.

There's no blood between us.

She has the memories
you're looking for.

I don't understand.

Our dad sent letters and
tapes home from Vietnam.

She kept everything.

How could letters help me?

Not the letters. The
envelopes. DNA.

No, it's too much to ask of her.

I am the son of the woman

who shared her husband's love.

Sergei, you are the
son of Harmon Rabb, Sr.

Trust me.

She'll help.

Excuse me, sir.

The members are returning.

Petty Officer Shaw,

will you and your
counsel please rise?

Captain, you may
publish your finding.

Petty Officer Second
Class Terrance Shaw,

United States Navy,

on the charge and specification
of premeditated murder,

this court-martial
finds you not guilty.

This court is adjourned.

Thank you, sir.

That case you were looking for.

Oh, thanks. Here.

What is it?

I stopped by at McWhorter's.

It's a decaf grande soy latte.

Hmm.

Oh, God, that's nasty.

I thought you liked...

Are you always this cranky
when you win a case?

Some cases you
don't want to win.

Sir, ma'am.

Morning, Bud.

I talked to Captain Carruthers.

He said that you were
nothing short of brilliant

during deliberations...
That you changed the mind

of every person on the panel.

Well, I call them as
I see them, ma'am.

Sorry it was your case.

Yeah, so am I.

Sir, I wanted to
ask you a question.

Uh, you didn't seem
too happy when you won.

That's because I wasn't.

Thanks.

Newton.

Hello, Commander.

Sorry it took me so long to
get back to you, Petty Officer.

I had to work some things out.

Tell me it's good
news, Commander.

I did what I could, son.

Let's take a walk.

Yes, sir.

I appreciate the effort, sir.

Now it's time to pass the
ball onto two other players,

and you're one of them.

I don't know what you mean, sir.

I've got a task for you, Newton.

Clean up and get
into your blues.

I'm in the middle of
watch, Commander.

I've made an arrangement
with Captain Baines.

He's assigned you a replacement.

Who would that be, sir?

I've always wanted to try
my hand at one of those.

Ma'am, I'd like to talk
to you about the case.

I still think that we
came to the right verdict,

but I have a question.

Why was the black
watch cap excluded?

The evidence was mishandled.

Why did the
Commander fight so hard

to get it admitted
into evidence?

There were fibers of Corporal
Anders' hair found in the watch cap.

It's Corporal Anders' watch cap?

That's right.

So, the commander
could have argued

that Corporal Anders was
a suspect in the murder.

Yes, he would have argued that,

and it would have
clouded the issue,

but there's a
logical explanation.

Petty Officer Shaw
had borrowed the cap

earlier that evening.

So, in return, you could argue

that it indicated Petty
Officer Shaw's guilt.

What do you believe, ma'am?

That Petty Officer Shaw
is guilty of the murder.

Nothing has changed that.

I'm going to ask
the State of Virginia

to reopen the case.

Isn't that double jeopardy?

Petty Officer Shaw was
tried in a court-martial, Bud.

That's federal jurisdiction.

He can still be
tried under state law.

That's a high hurdle, ma'am...

To get the Virginia
authorities to re-try the case.

Well, I'll admit,
it's a long shot.

You want to come
along for the ride?

Yes, ma'am.

But I still haven't
changed my mind.

You will.

Sid, it's cold.

What are you doing
out here? Come in!

Not on your life.

Ooh.

Sue Ellen, hi, I'm
Janet Thompson.

I'm president of the
Dolphin Wives Club.

We usually have our deployment
party at someone's home,

but we thought this was
a nice change of pace,

and your boss agreed.

Well, I hope you
enjoy yourselves.

Look, I don't want
to be late punching in.

Well, can you, can
you talk for a bit?

You know, we're all
in the same boat...

if you'll excuse that pun.

Um, all of our husbands

are leaving home today, too.

There are way too many
people interested in this.

Well, why do you think that is?

Because we can relate.

Saying good-bye to our
husbands for six months at a time

is a central issue in
all of our marriages.

How do you stand it?

Most of us knew what
we were getting into, and...

well, nobody forced us to
fall in love with these men.

You know, I just don't know
if I can do this by myself.

But that's why we're here.

You know, sometimes it
really helps to talk to people

who are going through
the same thing you are.

Well, does it help at night

when you're in bed alone?

No.

But we can help you get
through the times when he's away.

If the bond between you
and your husband is strong...

But that's the big
question, isn't it?

Is the bond strong enough?

Maybe I can help answer that.

Sweetheart, I'm sorry
if I've been insensitive,

but this is my job.

And the only way I can
stay together out there

is knowing that I have
you to come back to.

It's six months, Derek.

Well, these women can be

your substitute
family while I'm gone.

And when I come back,

we can start one of our own.

I love you.

That's bribery.

Yeah, but the
next time I deploy,

you'll have company.

Look.

MacKENZIE: Sergeant Maccabee.

At ease, Sergeant.

How you doing?

Good, ma'am.

Just checking out the
vehicles assigned to our unit

before we get underway.

What can I do for you, ma'am?

I have a few questions.

Court-martial's over, ma'am.

I know, but I'm
looking for something

I might have missed.

You still think the
corpsman is guilty?

Don't you?

Yes, ma'am, but what
I think doesn't count.

It's over.

Maybe, but I want

to go back over a couple things.

Corporal Anders
was your tent mate.

Yes, ma'am.

Do you believe he saw Petty
Officer Shaw leave camp?

Yes, ma'am.

And did you know that there was

a black watch cap
found at the murder scene

that belonged to
Corporal Anders?

No, ma'am, I didn't.

Does that change your thinking

of the events of the
night of the murder?

No, sir.

I was there when
Petty Officer Shaw

asked to borrow the watch cap.

If anyone dropped it,
it was the petty officer

not Corporal Anders.

Corporal Anders.

Ma'am.

Continue on;
we'll walk with you.

I want to ask you
a few questions.

Fire away, ma'am.

Why was your black watch cap

found at the scene
of the murder?

Uh, don't know, ma'am.

I lent it to Petty Officer Shaw,

so he might have dropped it.

How do I know
you're telling the truth?

You have to take my word for it.

There may be another trial.

Are you charging me, ma'am?

No, Petty Officer Shaw.

Isn't that double
jeopardy, ma'am?

Well, technically, no.

You may be called in to testify.

Well, that's okay, ma'am.

I'd like to see justice done.

You don't think
justice has been done?

No, sir.

Do you?

Petty Officer Shaw.

Do you know Lieutenant
Colonel MacKenzie?

Yes, sir.

Lieutenant Roberts?

You were on the
panel, sir. Thank you.

MacKENZIE: Petty Officer,
I've requested defense counsel

grant permission to
ask you a few questions.

My advice to you, Petty Officer,
is not to answer any questions.

I hope you understand, ma'am,

but I'm going to have to
follow the commander's advice.

Looks like you're getting ready

to re-deploy, Petty Officer.

Yes, sir.

I just got my PCS orders.

In two days,

I'm shipping out to Norfolk.

Who gave you the
St. Christopher medal?

My mother, ma'am, two
weeks before she died.

So, it meant a
great deal to you.

Yes, ma'am.

I want you to know

that I'm going to ask
the State of Virginia

to put you on trial for murder.

You'll do what you
think best, ma'am.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have a plane to catch.

The state's attorney
will never take that case.

Probably not, given that

reasonable doubt has
already been raised.

I don't know what to think.

Yeah, well, that's
the hell of it, Bud...

You never will.

We Continue from
Super Bowl 36...

Think I'm going to
jump ahead to dessert.

There's some ice cream in there.

It's Tofutti.

I got it.

Hey, Tiner.

Good evening, Lieutenant.

You better, uh, take those back.

But Lieutenant Sims
asked for these, sir.

It is the Super Bowl, Bud.

Oh, sweetie...

Thank you so much. I'll go easy.

Sergei, how do you like
watching your first Super Bowl?

It's good.

We play American
football in Russia now,

but this is different.

It's good to see the
passes go forward.

How did he get the seats?

That's what I want to know.

My question is who's
he sharing the seats with?

MacKENZIE: Guess neither of us

could come up with
a Harm-friendly offer.

Someone's got to
know Harm's story.

You been awfully quiet about
this whole Harm mystery, Admiral.

MacKENZIE: You
know, don't you, sir?

Well, I can neither
confirm or deny,

but let's just say wherever
the, uh, commander is

I'm sure he's,
uh, having a blast.

Well, it's no 50-yard line,

but it's still a hell of a view.

And we have the
play-by-play on CBS Radio.

Could have pulled worse duty

than flying cover, eh, Skates?

Since we're up here,

what do you say
we take a picture

for the folks back home?

Just point and shoot.

Whoo!

All right!

You know, since I can remember,

this will be the first Super
Bowl I've missed watching,

but, somehow, up here,
it doesn't really matter.

Now on first and
ten, just barely

past the midfield...

Bye. Take care, sweetie.

Bye!
