Princess cut, 58 facets.

Clarity... FL.

Internally flawless.

White as the driven snow.

Dos gefelt mir.

Er zitst oyf shpilkes,

farshvitst.

Es macht mir nit oys.

In English, please.

My apologies.

My brother and I, we aren't
the hosts we should be.

Yes. Please be seated.

We can talk. I didn't come here

to sit,

and I only want to
talk about the stone.

Two carats.

Exactly.

It's, uh...

it's an absolutely
perfect stone.

A little too perfect.

There's no such thing
in the diamond business.

And I can get more just like it.

As many as you're
willing to buy.

It'll be good to see you,
too, Professore Selvaggio.

I look forward to it.

Mi piace multo la tua
amicita', Professore Selvaggio.

Ciao.

Ciao.

You all right, Jennifer?

Your hair looks wet.

Well, my roommates, ma'am.

Four female petty officers

vying for the same
shower every morning

is not a pretty sight.

One of the girls
broke my hair drier.

Sample invitations, just
like you asked for... simple,

nothing flowery, recycled paper.

Thank you.

Oh, no.

I don't believe this.

I just knocked the stone
out of my engagement ring.

A.J.'s going to kill me.

The admiral is
all bluster, ma'am.

He's got a heart of gold.

Yeah, he's one of the
good guys, isn't he?

Yes, ma'am.

Oh.

Thank you, Jennifer.

It's beautiful, ma'am.

I'll try to have it
reset sometime today.

I'm sure there's a
warranty on the setting.

The admiral will...

Oh, no. No, no.

Please don't tell him.

I don't want him to think
I was being careless.

Oh, Colonel, look.

Look what the general sent.

Harriet is going
to be so excited

that they all took
the time to sign it.

Look. Everyone from the cast

and crew of the USO show.

Where is Harriet, anyway?

Oh, she's not coming
in today, ma'am.

Uh, little A.J.'s class
is going to the zoo,

and she wanted to go along
and make sure that he behaves.

He's going through a phase. Mm.

Ma'am, if I may say so,

uh... you look
really well-rested

recently.

What I mean to say
is, it's been a long time

since I've seen you
so... uh... content?

You're fishing, aren't you?

I'm just happy if you're happy.

And Agent Webb.

If he's...

the reason that you're happy.

Don't believe everything
you hear, Lieutenant.

Coates, would you

like to tell me why your clothes

are in my filing cabinet?

Would I like to tell you?

Not really, sir.

You see, I have...
Roommate problems. I know.

I'll take that, sir.

A former SEAL shouldn't
act as a valet. And, sir, I...

Promise that I
won't do it again.

How did you know I
was going to say that?

Because you always say that.

Then I'll strive to be

more unpredictable
in the future, sir.

Well, see that you do that.

Has Commander Rabb

graced us with his
presence yet this morning?

Uh, he's going
to be a little bit

late today, sir.

Personal business.

Can anyone in this office

separate their personal
from their professional lives?

Well, when might he arrive?

He didn't know for sure, sir.

He's taking custody
of that little girl today.

Oh. As you were.

Hey. I was just
coming to get you.

Hey. I thought I'd
spare you the trouble.

You didn't drive again, did you?

Relax, Harm. I caught the bus.

I'm fine.

So, uh...

talk to your dad?

He called.

I thanked him for letting
you be my guardian.

Is that all he said?

That's all there is to say.

Can we not...

talk about this?

Okay. Uh...

Hey, listen. I was,
uh, thinking that, uh...

because, I mean,
neither one of us

has had any sense

of real permanence
in their life,

and, uh, an apartment
is hardly permanent,

I have a real estate agent

looking at two-bedroom
houses in Falls Church.

I don't know, Harm.

I been living on
farms most of my life.

I thought maybe
I'd be ready to live

in the city for a while.

I saw this in front
of the building

on my way out.

There's an apartment available

just down the hall.

Mattie, we didn't, uh,
just go through all this

so that you and I
can be neighbors.

Uh, you need to...

I need to have you here

to look after me.

Well, it... it wouldn't
be forever, Harm.

It'd just... be until we
found our dream home.

You can't live alone, Mattie.

Why not?

You trust me, don't you, Harm?

Mia Meredith bella.

Professore Selvaggio! Oh...

Oh, my! It's been too long.

Yes, it has. My
students are still talking

about your impromptu
lecture on the dynamic

between, uh,
Baptista and Biondello.

Yes, yes, and I enjoyed working

with your class,
too, Alessandro.

Say, how is your symposium
at-at Georgetown going?

I wish you had taken me up

on my invitation to speak.

Yes, I wish I had, too,

but my schedule is so
crazy with my classes

and... and planning,
uh, for the wedding and...

Oh, your lovely ring
has lost its glitter.

Mm, I, uh... I knocked the stone

out of its setting this morning.

May I?

Sure.

H-Have you a magnifying glass?

Yes, why?

Well, my father was a jeweler.

I am fascinated
by precious stones.

Grazie.

Oh. Is this diamond
a-a family heirloom?

Oh, I don't... I don't think so.

You know, there
is a process now,

uh, to make sure
that there's nothing...

unlawful about a
diamond's origin.

Unlawful?

Diamonds go
missing from couriers

and museum
collections all the time.

Mm. That's why most
contemporary stones

are etched with a serial number

for identification purposes.

This diamond, hmm...

doesn't have one.

Can't I start school
tomorrow instead?

I want to hang out here,
meet all of your friends.

I mean, I am a part
of your life now, Harm.

You can't put it
off forever, Mattie.

You got to go to school.

You're already
half a year behind.

Maybe that's why
I don't want to go.

Good afternoon, sir.

Oh, hey, Petty Officer, uh...

Petty Officer Coates,
this is Mattie Grace.

Mattie is, uh,

my ward. Hey, Mattie,
I've heard a lot about you.

I'm Jennifer.

I think I talked to you
on the phone once.

You know, I hated school, too.

Probably not for
the same reasons.

No? Try me.

Well, look at you. You're
the cheerleader type.

I wasn't always.

My dad was a minister,

and he made me
dress like a real geek.

Is there a-a ladies'
room around here? Yeah.

Straight past the elevator.

Congratulations, sir.

She seems like a special girl.

Thank you. I think so.

Coates, tell me I just didn't

find this hanging in the galley.

I wish I could, sir. Solve

your closet problems,
Petty Officer.

That's an order.

Aye, aye, sir.

So, Commander,
welcome to parenthood.

Thank you, sir.

Excuse me.

Uh, A.J., a word?

Do you think the
admiral's in trouble, sir?

No, but I think you
are, Petty Officer.

You can't continue
to live like this.

I don't have a
lot of options, sir.

At my pay grade, I can't
afford my own place.

Have you ever...
considered my apartment?

No, sir.

I mean, the building.

There's an apartment
open in my building.

I'm sure the rent is just...

It's on me.

There is one
stipulation, however.

You'll have a roommate,

though she doesn't
take up much room.

Mattie, sir?

Well, you two already seem
to have so much in common.

It-it sounds great,
sir, but I-I can't.

Why not? It just...

it doesn't feel right.

Excuse me, sir.

I'm not accusing
you of anything.

Then why all the questions?

I bought the ring from
a reputable jeweler

that was recommended to
me by a rear admiral's wife.

They do a lot of business

with the military community.

Uh, the diamond, A.J...

Is it possible

that it's an older stone

that was put into
a newer setting?

What difference does it make?

Sweetheart, diamonds
are supposed to be forever.

It-it should have
a serial number.

It has one on the
certification document.

But not on the girdle,
the lower part of the stone.

Look, A.J., I didn't
want to tell you this,

but I-I bumped my hand,

and-and the diamond
fell out of my ring.

Now, Professor Selvaggio
has some experience,

and he told me

that newer diamonds are
supposed to be laser-etched

with their serial numbers.

Now, I... Professor Selvaggio?

Isn't that that man who
invited you to Bologna

over Christmas?

This... the diamond on
this ring is not etched, A.J.

It might be stolen.

MacKENZIE: I'm not sure

what I'm looking for, sir.

The crash course I got
before I went to Paraguay

was enough to fool Sadik
Fahd and his cronies,

but the truth is, I...
I'm not really qualified

to give you an opinion on this.

It certainly looks high quality.

You think this
Professor Selvaggio

is just trying to
stir up trouble?

Why would he do that?

Yeah, that's a good question.

When a man buys a diamond,

it's supposed to be a
symbol of his feelings.

I don't want Meredith
to always have doubts

about her engagement ring.

Admiral, I can have

Clayton Webb's office set up

a meeting for me
with Agent Van Duyn.

He's the CIA diamond expert

who helped me prepare
for my mission in Paraguay.

He really knows his stuff.

I'd appreciate that, Mac.

That trip to South America
seems to have done wonders

for your professional
relationship with Webb.

Living through

Operation Chaco Borealis

won me a little
respect over at Langley.

Sir, is there anything
else I can do?

No, that's all.

Sir.

Something I got to
take care of myself.

I have to get you to school.

You should grab your
knapsack out of my office.

Well, hello.

Hey, Colonel MacKenzie.

Hi.

Fatherhood seems to suit you.

Yeah, well, uh...

I owe it all to you, don't I?

Speaking of which, have I, uh,

told you how much I appreciate

everything you did
for Mattie and me?

At least ten times, Harm.

I was glad to do it.

Mac, let me ask you something.

Say you're in an
overcrowded apartment

and somebody offers you

a spacious one-bedroom

with a view of a park.

Who are we talking about?

Petty Officer Coates.

An apartment came
up in my building.

Mattie wants it.

I can't possibly let her
live there by herself,

but if Petty Officer
Coates were there...

Harm, has it escaped your notice

that, uh, Petty Officer Coates

is a young woman in
her prime dating years

and maybe she just
doesn't want to sign on

as a 24/7 baby-sitter?

You think Coates
has a boyfriend?

Maybe. I mean, you've proven

that it's possible to keep
a secret around here.

It's your phone bill and
you can pay it yourself!

I'm sick of covering for you!

I think that's my cue.

Excuse me.

You have to pay your share!

Yes, I'm serious.

I mean it.

Hey, I, uh...

I didn't mean to
eavesdrop, but, uh...

kind of couldn't help it.

Commander.

One of my stupid roommates
ran up the phone bill.

They just shut the service off.

So does, uh, my offer

still sound like too
much responsibility?

It's not the
responsibility, sir.

I've-I've talked to Mattie.

She's-she's very
mature for her age.

Look, before you met
me, I lived with friends.

Sometimes I'd pay rent,
usually with money I'd stolen,

then I joined the navy,
and lived on base.

After that, I
deployed, and lived

aboard a ship.

I just...

For the first time in
my life, I like the feeling

of paying my own way
and doing it honestly.

So this...

this isn't about
having a boyfriend?

Who said this was
about a boyfriend?

Well, somebody who clearly
has boyfriend on the mind.

Look, if this is just,

I mean, a-a pride thing,

we can work something out.

You could put the
lease in your name

and I'll just pay
Mattie's half of the rent.

You'd do that?

Yeah, I would... do that.

Harm, you're a genius.

Hey.

I assure you,
Admiral Chegwidden,

all the stones that I sell
have impeccable pedigrees.

So why doesn't the one

that I, uh, bought
have a serial number?

I assumed it to
be an older stone,

one that had perhaps
reentered the market.

Where did you get this one?

It was purchased

in good faith from
a local gentleman

who deals with loose gemstones.

How well do you know him?

To be honest, not well.

Our regular supplier
passed away last year

and his sons moved
the business to Zurich.

So, it's possible that
Meredith's diamond is stolen?

Admiral Chegwidden,

even with the serial number,

it is always possible that
a diamond has been stolen

somewhere along its journey.

They do last forever...

and they are so easily passed
from one hand to the next.

Well, I'm only interested

in the hand that
passed you the diamond.

I was surprised when
Agent Webb's assistant

told me you'd be coming.

The experiences you had at the
Chaco as Sadik Fahd's prisoner

would have frightened
most people away

from dealings with the CIA.

Well, I don't plan
to go up against

any terrorists this
time, Agent Van Duyn.

It wasn't fun.

Yes, Webb has told
me what happened.

Any man hearing of such torture

would have to
question his own abilities

to withstand it the
way Agent Webb did.

You know, I stopped
by Clay's office earlier.

I don't suppose that you'd
know where he is today.

No, Colonel,
professional courtesy.

He'd do the same for me if
I were, uh, out of the office.

But you're a diamond expert.

You'd never have to go
out in the field, would you?

You mentioned a stone.

Yes, uh... I was wondering

if there's any way to
tell if a stone was stolen.

Unfortunately not.

That's what I was afraid of.

This stone came from
an engagement ring.

Ah, yes, these...

tiny little pieces of
compressed carbon

that convey more than
all the poets ever could.

Cynical about love,
Agent Van Duyn?

Uncomfortable with diamonds
as tokens of it, Colonel.

When you know what they
can buy on the black market,

you tend not to hear a...

a love song when
you look at one,

but rather automatic
weapons fire.

The symmetry is uncanny.

No imperfections.

No inclusions.

This stone is as clear as water.

It's a high quality diamond.

Even high quality stones

tend to have flaws, Colonel.

The growth structure

of this stone is
without blemish.

Who did you say gave it to you?

I, uh, I didn't.

You must suspect
something about this stone.

You came to me for a reason.

Well, I came to
you for an opinion,

and you gave me one.

Thank you very much.

Word of advice, Colonel...

I don't know what you're
into, but I'd be careful.

Thanks so much

for the espresso, Alessandro.

You know, I'm afraid
that if I'm not forced

into taking a break, some days

I work the whole
day without one.

You Americans,
you all work too hard.

In Italy, we value
a job well done,

but we also find virtue
in embracing life's

nonproductive activities.

A chef from one of
my favorite restaurants

in Genoa opened a bistro
in Georgetown last year.

Really? Yes.

You and the admiral should, uh,

join me for dinner some night.

Well, I would love to.

I'll ask A.J.

Mr. Handy.

Looks like you deal
in more than just

suspicious gemstones.

Seems that one of
your, uh, diamonds

ended up in my fiancée's
engagement ring.

Congratulations.

This is the
certificate of origin.

Why isn't this serial number

etched on the stone itself?

Hey, any beef you
got is with the jeweler

who sold you the ring, Popeye.

I'm gonna make this very clear.

The woman I plan to marry

thinks she's wearing
a stolen diamond,

so I want to put
her mind at ease.

Let me explain.

Hey, I don't know who you are.

You come in here accusing
me of stuff. Who are you?

I'd love to do
this the hard way.

Okay, cool your jets.

Cool your jets.

Pretty fast for a guy your age.

That certificate of origin
that you showed me...

is forged.

By who?

By me.

Your diamond was not stolen.

Not technically.

You ever hear of the
term, "blood diamond,"

or "conflict diamond"?

Yeah, stones from Africa
who pay for rebel armies.

So you can tell your girl
she's wearing the real deal.

I can also tell her that
what she's wearing

paid for the slaughter of
children in the Third World.

Who sold you that stone?

You have any idea how many

of these diamonds are
floating around, huh?

You can't track them all,

that's the whole point.

I'm not interested in
tracking them all, just this one.

I'll tell you, pal...

but you're not going to like it.

Lieutenant Maravalis?

Sir, with all due respect,

you're interrupting
a time-sensitive test.

If I don't get this into the
vapor deposition chamber

right away, it'll be ruined.

You're under arrest.

For what, Admiral?

Conduct unbecoming

and service
discrediting conduct.

Trafficking in blood diamonds,

Lieutenant.

Let's go, sir.

It's an emotionally
charged issue.

A lot of these
civil wars in Africa

would have ended years
ago if it weren't for people

like Lieutenant Maravalis

who keep these
warlords in business.

Rebels force men,
women and children to dig

for these diamonds, and then
they're sold on the black market

to finance child
soldiers, whose function

it is to maim and
kill other children.

Are you okay, sir?

Yeah.

I've, uh, recused myself
from assigning counsel.

The convening authority has,
uh, detailed you to prosecute,

Rabb to defend.

You'll sit second chair
for the commander.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Lieutenant, you're
dismissed. Aye, aye, sir.

I don't have to tell you

I'll be watching
this one closely.

You're right, sir.

You don't need to tell me.

Well, I won't be in
the gallery every day.

You're entitled

if you like, sir.

You are the man of the hour.

Lieutenant, uh, Maravalis
wouldn't have been caught

if it wasn't for
your involvement.

Well, Colonel, I don't
feel too damn heroic today.

Not only is Meredith
upset, now she's mad at me

because I won't
be the third wheel

on her outings with the famous

Professore Selvaggio.

I know she needs her
professional colleagues,

but this guy...

there's something
about this guy.

Have you even met him, sir?

No. Maybe you should give

your fiancée the
benefit the of the doubt.

Meredith loves you,

and I wouldn't worry
about the diamond.

The source of the stone

doesn't cheapen the
sentiment behind it.

At least you tried to
do something romantic.

Some guys can't even
get that much right.

I thought you and Rabb had
decided to forgive and forget.

I wasn't talking about
Commander Rabb, sir.

Where the hell is Rabb, anyway?

So you excited about the move?

What girl wouldn't be?

My first apartment.

Jennifer's taking a day's leave

so I don't have to
move in on my own.

Just remember, it's
only temporary, okay?

The big plan is the house
with a yard, maybe a dog.

Maybe even someday a Mrs. Harm?

Yeah.

Thanks for walking me in.

You have no idea how
navy brass boosts my rep.

Well, you know, I'm so
used to being in charge

that I don't really make
a good first impression.

Well, I find that
hard to believe.

I'm sure you have a few friends.

I met another kid

who wants to be a fighter pilot.

Math geek.

Another kid?

Well, yeah, I was thinking

maybe I'd want to be a
navy pilot like the old man.

He usually meets me here
in the morning, you know,

so he can start
bugging me early. Oh.

Harm, this is Andre.

So you want to be
a fighter pilot, huh?

Affirmative, sir.

Any advice?

Yeah, you could start

by relaxing.

Would you mind
saying, "At ease," sir?

Uh, Andre's serious

about the navy thing, Harm.

Real serious, Commander.

All right, at ease, sailor.

Thank you, sir.

Let's go, Andre.

We're going to be
late for homeroom.

Yeah. See you later.

Well...

Yes.

Very impressive.
Yeah, he's cool.

MacKENZIE: This is an example
of what blood diamonds pay for.

They're dug out of the ground

by people who work
in horrific conditions,

and then spirited away to
clandestine jewel centers

in Europe, Africa, Asia.

From there, they are purchased
at cut-rate prices by people

like Lieutenant Maravalis.

The government
will present evidence

that Lieutenant Maravalis
spent a lot of time lately

at the Belgian
diamond exchanges.

That he then smuggled
the stones he purchased

into the United States,

and with the help
of a document forger,

he tried to pass
these stones off

as legitimate
conflict-free gems.

Four months ago,

Lieutenant Maravalis opened
an offshore bank account,

began to live a lifestyle

far beyond the means
of a navy lieutenant.

The only conclusion we can
draw from these actions is that

Lieutenant Maravalis is guilty
of both conduct unbecoming

and service discrediting
conduct of a commissioned officer.

Criminal offenses
under the UCMJ.

I know Harm wouldn't have
let me stay here without you,

so, uh, thanks for agreeing
to be my roommate.

Sure.

I bet you don't even
know anyone in Okinawa.

Huh?

One of my old
roommates had a boyfriend

stationed in Okinawa.

You would not
believe the phone bills.

You got nice stuff.

Yeah, I had a... a different
job before I joined the navy.

In retail?

Uh, five-finger discount,
if you know what I mean.

I don't.

That's probably a good thing.

You know, maybe we
could trade clothes sometime.

Maybe.

I could... I could
use one of those.

A bra?

You don't have a bra?

Well, just the thought
of me going into a store

and asking for one...

You know, there's...

There's a lot of things
a girl your age needs.

We-We should go shopping.

Well, I'm-I'm not
exactly rolling in dough.

I-I lost my business, Jennifer.

So, do what any
teenage girl does...

Ask for Dad's credit card.

I think you're hiding
something from me, Meredith.

What?

Why doesn't your
boyfriend want to know me?

Oh, I...

I promise you that
before you leave,

we'll all have drinks together.

Hmm.

A.J.'s...

Oh, he's just been busy.

In my country, a man...

is never too busy

for a beautiful woman.

Well, in my country,
a woman understands

when her fiancé can't always
make her his top priority.

It isn't illegal to

go window shopping

in the diamond
district of Antwerp.

Nor is proof of an
offshore bank account

automatic proof of malfeasance.

Lieutenant Maravalis recently

married a successful
and generous woman.

His lifestyle, naturally, now
reflects their mutual worth.

Ma'am?

The blood diamond
trade is despicable.

There is no excuse for
the atrocities of the R.U.F.

rebels in Sierra Leone,

or the UNITA group in Angola,

the R.C.D. rebels in the Congo,

or any of the half
dozen guerrilla groups

that have decimated Liberia.

But my client's not a member
of any of these organizations,

nor does have any
association with,

nor has he ever met any
member of any of these groups.

The prosecution...

has no evidence

that the defendant ever set
foot on the continent of Africa.

Lieutenant Maravalis
is a gifted researcher

in service of his country.

He is not guilty of the
charges against him.

Nice job, Bud.

Over $120 billion has sparked
an interest in Congress...

A plan to cancel up
to $27 billion in debt...

Lieutenant Colonel MacKenzie.

Pull over, Colonel.

Why all the
cloak-and-dagger, Van Duyn?

When you see what I
have, you'll know why.

You have the right man,
but the wrong theory.

What are you talking about?

Lieutenant Maravalis.

He's been under Agency
surveillance for the past

three months.

Of course, we can only
monitor his activities

outside the U.S.

Since he's now being
charged with crimes

in your jurisdiction,

everything you need
to nail him is in this file.

Aren't you compromising your
own case by giving me this?

Remember I told you I
never wanted to find out

what it feels like to be
tortured by the enemy?

The next step in this
investigation involves

going undercover
and selling diamonds

to people like Sadik Fahd.

I've lost my nerve, Colonel.

Because of Webb's

experience in Paraguay?

I want to see Lieutenant
Maravalis go to prison,

and you stand a better chance
than I do of putting him there.

I've given the same file

to an Agency
colleague in Brussels.

He'll follow up.

We're not interested
in the source

of Lieutenant
Maravalis' diamonds,

only the acts he may finance

in the international
terrorist community.

Do I have to say it?

Say what?

I was never here.

MacKENZIE: I spoke with
the man just last night, and now

he's out of the country?
Colonel, I can only tell you

what the technical services
department told me. Which I don't believe.

Agent Van Duyn has
taken an extended leave

and won't be back
for three weeks.

Let me be the first to tell you:

I'd be surprised if
he's ever coming back

or if he'll ever be able
to answer my questions.

Where is Webb? Where is he?

I can't... You know what?

I'm-I'm tired of this
spy game, okay?

I obtained some very strange
documentation last night,

and I would like

to be able to talk
to someone about it.

Think about it,
Colonel MacKenzie.

My security level
barely affords me

the luxury of knowing

where my own
boss is half the time.

I'm supposed to be seeing
him tonight, you know.

Agent Van Duyn?

Agent Webb.

Is that going to happen?

Northern or Southern Hemisphere?

Near the equator...
Occidental side

of the globe.

Oh, that narrows it down.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, so am I.

All right, let me
ask you a favor.

It'll get me off your
back about Van Duyn.

Will I be breaking Agency rules?

No. Look, I need to
find out if there's been

a secure file transfer
from Agent Van Duyn

to any CIA
personnel in Brussels.

Can you find that out for me?

Trust me, it is in the
Agency's best interest.

Yes, Lieutenant Maravalis
was an underling of mine here.

Right up till the day
they arrested him.

They sent a two-star
and navy MAAs to do it.

Navy must be
taking this seriously.

Did you know that
Lieutenant Maravalis

was under
surveillance by the CIA?

This is my lab, Colonel.

You're the anonymous source

in Agent Van Duyn's report...

The one who tipped them
off to Lieutenant Maravalis.

With, uh, Van Duyn
out of the picture,

I thought I'd never
find out who it was.

If you read my report, you know

why I chose to keep
my name out of it.

Van Duyn was
tracking the kind of guys

who won't stop at you.

They'll kill your whole family.

Agent Van Duyn told you that?

He told me to watch
my back, Colonel.

And not to talk to anyone

but him.

I want you to testify in court
against Lieutenant Maravalis.

Do I look suicidal, Colonel?

I can protect you, Doctor.

And I can subpoena you.

I'm sorry, Your Honor.

Permission to
approach the bench?

Granted.

The government is
adding a charge of larceny

against Lieutenant
Maravalis, Your Honor.

Based on what?

That's my line,

Commander.

I have new evidence
which indicates

the lieutenant was not involved

in the trafficking of blood
diamonds from Africa.

Well, since that's
the entire basis

for the government's
case, Your Honor,

I would then ask

that the original
charges be withdrawn.

What's your new
evidence, Colonel?

Doctor, what is Code 6174?

That's the navy's
diamond research arm.

And what do you do there?

We make synthetic
diamonds, Colonel,

uh, for the thermal
management of semiconductors.

You've had a series
of thefts at your lab,

isn't that true, Doctor?

That's correct.

What, if anything,
has building security

told you about the
possible identity of the thief?

Anything the doctor may
have been told, Your Honor,

would be classified as hearsay.

Sustained.

Doctor, do you have any
theories about the thefts?

Oh, I figure it

for an inside job.

Uh, security's just too
tight for anyone to have

come in from the outside.

Objection... speculation.

Sustained.

Doctor, what have you reported
as stolen from your laboratory?

Nearly 120 carats worth of
synthetic diamonds, Colonel.

60 stones.

And what's the estimated value

of these diamonds?

Well, they cost the navy
next to nothing to make,

but the retail value of stones

of that quality would be
uh, mill-two, mill-three.

$1.3 million.

Doctor, is there any
way to tell the difference

between a synthetic diamond

and the real thing?

Technically, a synthetic diamond

is the real thing...

Uh, chemically and
physically identical

to a diamond that's
mined from the ground.

Your Honor, this is
extremely misleading.

If the synthetic stones are
indistinguishable from natural,

then the stones stolen
from Dr. Mallory's lab

would be impossible
to be picked out

from any other
grouping of diamonds.

Overruled, provided counsel

can clarify the matter.

Yes, Your Honor.

Doctor, is it possible
to tell the difference

between a mined diamond
and one created in your lab?

With a loupe or
magnifying glass,

no.

But the trained eye
can tell the difference

using a spectrophotometer.

These, uh, lab-grown
gems are just

too picture-perfect
to pass for natural

under that kind of scrutiny.

Finally, Dr. Mallory,

have you had a chance
to examine the diamond

marked as
government exhibit one?

I have.

Your expert opinion, please.

It's one of mine.

I have no doubt about that.

I think I have

everything I could
possibly need.

Well, the kids at school won't
call you "Home Fries" now.

Can I ask you something?

Anything you want.

Well, you've known Harm

for a long time.

What do you think made
him want to take care of me?

'Cause he barely knew me
when he started all of this.

Probably the same thing

that made him want
to take care of me

when I needed it.

You know, I'd still be
serving time at hard labor

if the commander hadn't arranged

to give me a second chance.

Yeah, it doesn't surprise me

that he's done this
kind of thing before.

May I ask what...?

Another time.

You know, Harm's dad went MIA

when he was a little boy.

Yeah, I know that.

So, maybe he's got
a soft spot for kids

who look like
they need a father.

But I thought you said
your dad was a minister.

That doesn't mean
he was there for me,

except to criticize
and damn me to hell

every time I
stepped out of line.

And my mom passed away
when I was about your age.

Sounds like you and me
have the same situation.

And the same guardian angel.

Hot chocolate,

on me.

Are you sure Agent Van Duyn

never contacted
anyone in Brussels?

All rise.

Thank you.

Let's proceed.

Does Lieutenant Maravalis

understand the nature
of the care inquiry?

He does, Your Honor.

And the government's

agreed to the terms of
the pretrial agreement?

It has, Your Honor.

Lieutenant,

go ahead.

It started with one... One
diamond for my personal use.

When I realized I'd
gotten away with it,

I sold a few stones
to a local dealer.

As a condition of your plea,

I'll expect you to cooperate
with civilian authorities

in building a case

against that man...
Receiving stolen goods.

Of course, Your Honor.

You may additionally

be called upon to cooperate

with any members
of federal agencies

regarding their
ongoing investigation

into diamond smuggling
and international terrorism.

I understand.

My trips to Antwerp
were to sell stones,

not buy them.

Would you wear your uniform

on these sales
calls, Lieutenant?

Yes.

I guess I thought

it would make them respect me.

You see, ma'am, my mother

never had a diamond
engagement ring.

My parents were immigrants.

They would have
thought it was frivolous...

Something only the wealthy did.

So, what made you start
dreaming the American dream?

I met someone.

Someone who... expected it.

And deserved it.

Caroline has her own money,

but I was raised to believe

a man should take
care of his wife,

and not the other way around.

I panicked

when I couldn't afford
an engagement ring.

Every day I was
surrounded by diamonds...

Stones I was creating
with my own hands...

And I couldn't afford
to buy the woman I love

a ring that was worthy of her.

It turns out I
didn't have to do it.

She would have stood by an
honest man of modest means,

but... she won't
stand by a thief.

She's filed for divorce.

A woman after my own heart.

Does counsel have
anything to add?

Yes, Your Honor.

Lieutenant Maravalis has agreed

to relinquish all monies

gained from the
sale of the diamonds

deposited in a bank
in the Cayman Islands.

He will also return

all unsold stones
in his possession

to the Naval Research Lab.

He would like this considered
at sentencing, ma'am.

Noted.

Colonel?

The government so
stipulates, Your Honor.

Very well.

Lieutenant Maravalis,

I'm not impressed
with your sob story.

Your mother never
had a diamond ring?

Guess what.

Neither did mine.

We'll reconvene for sentencing.

Court is in recess.

Some of the navy's
diamonds are still out there

floating around Europe

just waiting for Sadik
Fahd or his minions

to snatch them up.

You know, the CIA diamond expert

who gave me the
lead on the navy lab...

I think he may have gone rogue.

You've been spending a
little too much time with Webb.

Mac, a CIA operative
goes underground?

You're going to have to
start getting used to that.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

So, uh, Lieutenant Maravalis

did it all for the love
of a woman, huh?

Oh, love can drive a man crazy.

That road runs both ways.

Say, what are you
doing right now, anyway?

Why? You want to,
uh, you want to try

that new Japanese place?

I was thinking of
something a little less formal.

And then he said,

"You'd be okay if
you lost the attitude."

Ew, you don't actually
like this guy, do you?

He sounds like a jerk.

No, gross; he's a big dork.

Hey. Hi.

Mattie, you can't come to
the door in your underwear.

It's not underwear underwear.

I mean, I'm wearing
underwear under the boxers.

Looks like you got your

Hello, ma'am, sir.

Yeah, I, uh, I'm
beginning to feel

like Captain Von Trapp.

Who? MacKENZIE:
Captain Von Trapp

from The Sound of Music.

What's that?

I guess we need
a DVD player, Dad.

Oh, I see... Adopt
one and get two.

It's a hell of a deal.

MacKENZIE: I always knew
you'd make a good family man.

Stop it.

No, I meant that
as a compliment.

I'm really proud

of what you're doing here.

Popcorn. Want some?

Ooh, yeah.
