IT'S GOING TO BE A GIRL.

GOT A REAL SPECIAL NAME
PICKED OUT TOO-- MARY.

I FIGURE EVERYBODY NAMING
GIRLS HEATHER AND SHAUNA

AND MADONNA THESE DAYS.

BY THE TIME SHE GROWS UP,
MARY WILL BE AN UNUSUAL NAME.

I HOPE I GET HOME
BEFORE ANNIE GIVES BIRTH.

COULD YOU STEP OUT
OF THE MATERNITY WARD

LONG ENOUGH TO FIGURE WHY
WE HAVEN'T HIT EL WADI OASIS?

T.C. SAID EL WADI IS UP
HERE ABOUT TEN MILES.

WE'VE ONLY GONE... ABOUT 15.

DAVE, THE IRAQI BORDER'S

ONLY A COUPLE MILES
NORTH OF EL WADI.

HEY, JOHN, DOES THAT
LOOK LIKE ONE OF OURS?

IRAQIS!

ANYONE ON THIS FREQ! OVER!
ANYONE ON THIS FREQ

WE'RE TAKING FIRE!

JOHN, STAY ON
THE RADIO.

NOBODY'S ANSWERING.

JOHN!

Man:
Saddam Hussein announced today

that the body
of Marine Corporal John Edner

killed four days ago

when he crossed into Iraq
near the Kuwaiti border

will be turned over
to the International Red Cross.

However, Marine Corporal
David Anderson

who was captured
in the same incident

is to be charged with espionage.

Saddam Hussein
then surprised reporters

by announcing that American
military lawyers will be allowed

to defend Corporal Anderson.
At the moment, it is not known

whether or not the White House
will accept the Iraqi proposal.

From Bagdad, this is Chuck
DeCaro on special assignment.

[
crying out
]

Clear. Cover.

Two... one!

Move it, move it!

[

[
gunshots, man groans

CONGRATULATIONS, LIEUTENANT.

YOU JUST SHOT CORPORAL ANDERSON.

I DIDN'T THINK
HE'D BE IN THE CORRIDOR.

HE PROBABLY WON'T BE,
BUT IF HE IS, AND YOU DO

WHAT YOU JUST DID,
HE GOES HOME IN A BOX.

I KNOW IT'S NO EXCUSE,
BUT JUST TRIGGERING

ONE ROUND AT A TIME
IS MAKING ME A LITTLE JUMPY.

YOU WANT
A ROOM BROOM, HUH?

THAT'S NOT THE WAY WE TEACH

CLOSE-QUARTERS COMBAT.

FIRST YOU GET GOOD
WITH ONE BULLET;

THEN YOU GET TO SHOOT
A LOT OF THEM.

MIND IF I GIVE IT
ANOTHER TRY?

YOU GOT IT.

One more time. Let's go.

ACTUALLY,
THE IRAQI CONSTITUTION

GUARANTEES MANY OF THE SAME
RIGHTS AS OUR OWN.

THAT DOESN'T TRACK
WITH THE CASES

I'VE BEEN READING, SIR.

PROBABLY BECAUSE IN
REALITY,

WHATEVER LOLA WANTS,
LOLA GETS.

LOLA MEANING
SADDAM HUSSEIN.

OH, OF COURSE, SIR.

DID THE IRAQIS RESPOND
WITH OUR REQUEST

FOR MORE REFERENCE BOOKS?

OH, YES.

THEY SENT US STACKS OF MATERIAL.

UNFORTUNATELY,
IT'S ALL IN ARABIC.

MANY OF THE TERMS HAVE NO
PRECISE ENGLISH COGNITIVE.

BY THE TIME
WE TRANSLATE IT...

THE TRIAL WILL BE OVER.

I'M AFRAID SO.

A CHEAP LAWYER TRICK
IF I EVER HEARD ONE.

ISN'T IT?

YOU AND LIEUTENANT RABB

WILL BE APPEARING
IN A SPECIAL SECURITY COURT--

ESSENTIALLY
A MILITARY TRIBUNAL.

IT'LL COMPLICATE MATTERS...

SIR, SHOULDN'T WE WAIT
FOR LIEUTENANT RABB?

HE'S MISSED A LOT
OF THESE SESSIONS.

HE'S BEING BRIEFED ON PROTOCOL.

PROTOCOL?

DIPLOMATIC NICETIES
NEED TO BE OBSERVED.

SINCE WE HAVE
NO AMBASSADOR IN BAGHDAD,

YOU AND LIEUTENANT RABB
WILL BE DOING DOUBLE DUTY.

WE DON'T WANT

ANY SOCIAL GAFFES TO APPEAR
IN THE LEGAL ARENA.

IT'S JUST THAT WITH CORPORAL
ANDERSON'S LIFE AT STAKE...

[
knocking
]

COMMANDER.

LIEUTENANT.

DID YOU LEARN WHICH
FORK TO USE YET, SIR?

ACTUALLY, I'VE MANAGED
TO DO A LITTLE RESEARCH.

I THOUGHT THIS
MIGHT BE USEFUL.

I'VE READ IT.

FRANKLY, I THINK THAT
THE BEST BOOK IS THIS MANUAL

ON IRAQI MILITARY PROCEDURES.

STRICTLY SPEAKING,
IT'S NOT A LEGAL BOOK,

BUT THE FOURTH CHAPTER
SHOWS

THEIR APPROACH
TO EVIDENTIARY QUESTIONS.

SOUNDS INTERESTING,

BUT I JUST STOPPED IN
TO DELIVER THE BOOK.

I'VE GOT TO GET BACK.

IRAQI UTENSILS ARE
TRICKIER THAN YOU THINK.

YOUR DIPLOMATIC
BRIEFING'S

NO LAUGHING MATTER.

NO, SIR.

MAYBE I'D BETTER JOIN YOU
FOR A WHILE.

LIEUTENANT AUSTIN SEEMS TO HAVE
EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL.

CARRY ON,
LIEUTENANT.

CORPORAL ANDERSON IS BEING
HELD AT AL MATAHA, NEAR BASRA.

IT'S ONE OF THE MOST
SECURE PRISONS IN IRAQ.

IT'S ORIGINAL FOUNDATIONS, WHERE
MOST OF THE PRISONERS ARE KEPT,

DATE BACK TO THE MIDDLE AGES.

IT'S A WARREN NEST OF CELLS
AND CORRIDORS.

IN FACT, AL MATAHA IS ARABIC

FOR "THE MAZE."

A MAZE OUR SATELLITE
INFRARED ENHANCEMENT

SEEMS TO HAVE PENETRATED.

IF IT COULD JUST TELL US
WHICH CELL ANDERSON IS IN.

HOW MANY
ARE THERE?

ABOUT 300, WHICH IS WHY
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE

TO PASS HIM THIS TRANSPONDER
WHEN YOU INTERVIEW HIM.

AFTER THEY CONVICT HIM,
CONTACT US

ON THE SATELLITE UPLINK.
WE'LL DO THE REST.

YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH
CONFIDENCE IN OUR DEFENSE.

DO YOU, SIR?

NO. I JUST DON'T LIKE
BEING COUNTED OUT

BEFORE WE ENTER THE COURTROOM.

I CAN SMUGGLE THIS INTO IRAQ,
BUT NOT AN UPLINK.

IT'S ALREADY THERE.

AN UNDERCOVER AGENT
CODE NAMED "SCIMITAR"

WILL GIVE YOU IT
AND OUR ESCAPE ROUTE.

-WHO'S SCIMITAR?
-WE DON'T KNOW.

SINCE SCIMITAR IS AN ARAB SWORD,

WE THINK HE'S
IN THE IRAQI MILITARY.

AND HE'S GOING TO HELP
US?

WE ASSUME
HE'S ANTI-SADDAM.

HIS INTEL'S BEEN RELIABLE
WHEN HE CHOOSES TO PROVIDE IT.

SCIMITAR MAY CONTACT YOU
DIRECTLY, USE INTERMEDIARIES;

HE MAY EVEN WAIT FOR YOU
TO CONTACT HIM.

HOW DO I DO THAT IF I
DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS?

PLAY IT BY EAR.
I HOPE YOU'RE GOOD.

ONCE WE GO IN,
THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH HIM.

THIS IS ANOTHER REASON
WHY WE CAN'T CONTINUE

TO KEEP
LIEUTENANT AUSTIN IN THE DARK.

THE MISSION PLANNERS
FEEL THE FEWER PEOPLE

THAT KNOW THE TRUE NATURE

OF THE OPERATION,
THE BETTER.

WE'RE ASKING HER TO TAKE
RISKS SHE ISN'T AWARE OF.

WOULD SHE TAKE THEM
IF SHE KNEW?

WITHOUT A DOUBT.

THEN WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

I DON'T LIKE HOLDING OUT
ON MY PARTNER.

I'M NOT PREPPING
FOR COURT.

SHE'S STARTING
TO WONDER WHY.

-GIVE HER A WHY.
-COMMANDER...

I'D LIKE TO LEVEL WITH HER TOO,
BUT WE CAN'T.

NOW THAT'S FINAL.

YES, SIR.

-IT WON'T WORK.
-OUR DEFENSE?

THE BRIBE.

EVEN WITH CHILI PEPPERS
AND CHORIZO?

WHERE DID YOU FIND
A TEXAS PIZZA?

I GOT THE PIZZA AT TONY'S.

I GOT THE TOPPINGS
AT LOS AMIGOS.

I PUT THEM TOGETHER AND
ZAPPED THEM IN THE MICROWAVE.

IT'S AN APOLOGY FOR
DUCKING OUT ON OUR CRAM SESSION.

YOU DON'T THINK WE STAND
A CHANCE, DO YOU?

THERE'S ALWAYS
A CHANCE, MEG.

HAVING US DEFEND MAY BE
JUST A PROPAGANDA MOVE,

BUT IT'S DOUBLE-EDGED.

WE MAY SCORE SOME POINTS
THEY DON'T EXPECT.

THEN WHY HAVEN'T YOU
BEEN HITTING THE BOOKS?

IT'S PARTLY BECAUSE
OF THIS PROTOCOL BUSINESS,

BUT IT'S MOSTLY BECAUSE
YOU'RE TO BE LEAD COUNSEL.

-ME?
-IT'S PSY-OPS IDEA.

THE IRAQIS AREN'T USED TO WOMEN
IN POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY.

WE THROW THEM A CURVE BALL
BY HAVING YOU LEAD THE DEFENSE.

HOPING THAT THEY'LL
UNDERESTIMATE ME.

IF I COULD FIND A WEAK
SPOT OR TWO, WE MIGHT

AT LEAST GET
A LIGHTER SENTENCE.

WHAT IS THAT?

IT'S AN ANCHOVY.
IT'S ONLY ON MY HALF.

LIEUTENANTS RABB AND AUSTIN?

I'M SORRY TO DISTURB YOU.

I'M LAURIE ANDERSON.

MY HUSBAND IS CORPORAL
DAVID ANDERSON.

PLEASE, COME IN.

HAVE A SEAT.

THANKS.

THE BUILDING'S SO BIG,
IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO FIND YOU.

-I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND.
-NO, OF COURSE NOT.

THEY'LL LET YOU SEE HIM, WON'T
THEY, WHEN YOU GET TO IRAQ?

THEY'LL HAVE TO, MA'AM,
IF WE'RE GOING TO DEFEND HIM.

WILL YOU GIVE HIM THESE?

ONE FROM ME AND ONE FROM MARY.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
GOING TO NAME HER.

THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL NAME.

WE THINK SO TOO.

EVERY TIME DAVE SENDS ME
A LETTER, HE SENDS MARY ONE TOO.

I THOUGHT A LETTER FROM HER
MIGHT MAKE HIM SMILE.

WE'LL SEE THAT HE GETS THEM.

JUST BRING HIM HOME.

PLEASE.

WE KNOW YOU WERE SPYING.

ALL WE WANT TO KNOW IS
THE NATURE OF YOUR MISSION.

I ALREADY TOLD YOU BOYS,
I WASN'T ON ANY MISSION.

DON'T YOU WANT TO GO HOME?

HELL, YES,
BUT NOT BY CONFESSING

TO SOMETHING
I DIDN'T DO.

LOOK, WE WEREN'T SPYING,
ALL RIGHT?

WE WERE LOOKING FOR
THE OASIS AT EL WADI.

WE JUST GOT LOST.
THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

I'LL MAKE YOUR CHOICE
EVEN SIMPLER, CORPORAL.

YOU CAN GO HOME
ON A FIRST-CLASS SEAT

OR THE SAME BOX
AS CORPORAL EDNER.

HMM? WHICH WILL IT BE?

I'M NOT A SPY.

THE BOX.

WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU SON OF A...

[

]

DON'T DECEIVE YOURSELF,
CORPORAL.

SOONER OR LATER...

THERE WILL BE
A BULLET IN THE CHAMBER.

Man:
The two Navy lawyers

assigned to defend U.S.
Marine Corporal Anderson

on charges of espionage
arrived in Baghdad today

and were immediately rushed
into a private meeting

with Saddam Hussein.

Iraqi television reported that
while Hussein expressed regrets

over the death
of Marine Corporal John Edner,

he had no choice
but to prosecute

Marine Corporal David Anderson
for espionage.

Lindsey: 18 HOURS OF FLYING AND
HE CALLS THEM INTO A MEETING.

SHREWD.

HOW'S THAT, SIR?

ARE YOU AT YOUR BEST
AFTER 18 HOURS

ON AN AIRPLANE, LIEUTENANT?

USUALLY.
I SLEEP ON AIRPLANES.

THERE IT IS.

...they passed within sight
of the prison

where the trial
will begin tomorrow.

Their destination today,
however, is Al Ba'ran,

Saddam's highly secure
personal compound in Basra

where the two attorneys
will stay

for the duration of the trial.

This is Chuck Decaro
on special assignment.

LIEUTENANT RABB,
LIEUTENANT AUSTIN.

WELCOME TO IRAQ.

COLONEL AHMAD AL-BARZAN,
AT YOUR SERVICE.

I WILL SEE THAT
YOU HAVE FULL ACCESS

TO IRAQI LEGAL EXPERTISE,
LIEUTENANT RABB.

YOU WILL FIND
OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM

IS DIFFERENT FROM YOURS,
BUT JUST AS FAIR.

AND LIEUTENANT AUSTIN,
THIS IS LIEUTENANT DUMAI.

SHE WILL SEE
TO YOUR PERSONAL NEEDS.

Austin: SINCE I'M LEAD
COUNSEL ON THIS CASE,

I'LL BE THE ONE NEEDING
ACCESS TO LEGAL EXPERTISE.

ARE YOU NOT
THE SENIOR OFFICER?

YES, BUT LIEUTENANT AUSTIN
IS THE EXPERT ON IRAQI LAW.

I LOOK FORWARD TO ACQUAINTING
YOU WITH OUR LAWS.

NOW, IF I MAY
SHOW YOU TO YOUR ROOMS?

WE'D LIKE TO VISIT
CORPORAL ANDERSON FIRST.

-THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE.
-SURELY A CLIENT

HAS THE RIGHT
TO SEE HIS ATTORNEY.

SECURITY PASSES
HAVE TO BE OBTAINED FIRST.

THAT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM
SINCE YOU'RE CHIEF OF SECURITY.

PERMISSION FROM A HIGHER
AUTHORITY WILL BE REQUIRED.

THEN I SUGGEST YOU OBTAIN IT.

PERHAPS IT WOULD BE WISE

IF YOU DID NOT
GO TO THE TROUBLE

OF UNPACKING YOUR BAGS.

[
speaking Iraqi
]

THIS WAY, PLEASE.

I DIDN'T REALIZE

WOMEN SERVED
IN THE IRAQI MILITARY.

WOULD YOU PUT THAT
ON THE BED, PLEASE?

I'M SORRY. PERHAPS
YOU DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH.

I SPEAK ENGLISH VERY GOOD.

THEN YOU MUST NOT
HAVE HEARD ME.

PLEASE PUT MY BAG
ON THE BED.

THANK YOU.

FIRST COLONEL BARZAN,
NOW CORPORAL YUSEF.

DO YOU RESPECT NO MAN?

RESPECT, YES.
FEAR, NO.

IT IS NOT FEAR
TO BEHAVE PROPERLY.

-WHAT ABOUT HIS BEHAVIOR?
-HE'S A MAN.

THAT DOESN'T GIVE HIM
THE RIGHT TO IGNORE ME.

YOU JUDGE THINGS THAT
YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.

THAT IS STUPID
AND DANGEROUS.

I SPOKE WRONGLY.

I ASK YOUR FORGIVENESS.

NO, I'M THE ONE
WHO SHOULD APOLOGIZE.

I'VE OFFENDED YOU,

AND THAT WAS THE LAST THING
I WANTED TO DO.

SHALL WE START AGAIN?

I DIDN'T KNOW WOMEN
SERVED IN THE IRAQI MILITARY.

DO YOU REQUIRE ANYTHING
FURTHER, LIEUTENANT AUSTIN?

NO. NOTHING.

MY ROOM IS
AT THE END OF THE HALL

IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND.

[
knocking on door
]

-OH, SORRY.
-NO, NO, NO. COME IN.

I WAS JUST GETTING READY
TO CHECK OUT THE SHOWER.

FIRST THING I LEARNED
IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY

IS TO CHECK THE HOT WATER.

COME ON.

[
whispering
]: THIS WHOLE
PLACE HAS TO BE BUGGED.

I'M NOT OFF
TO A VERY GOOD START.

I OFFENDED
LIEUTENANT DUMAI.

I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
THAT IMPOSSIBLE.

FOR YOU. YOU'RE A MAN.

I ASKED THE CORPORAL
TO PUT MY BAG ON THE BED.

HE REFUSED,
AND I INSISTED.

YOU SHOULD HAVE TAKEN
THAT PROTOCOL COURSE.

ME? WHAT ABOUT YOU?

YOU PRACTICALLY PEED
ON COLONEL BARZAN'S LEG.

SEEING CORPORAL ANDERSON
BEFORE THE TRIAL

IS NONNEGOTIABLE.

EVEN IF HE
SENDS US PACKING?

THE IRAQIS WOULD
LOSE TOO MUCH FACE

IF THEY SENT US HOME NOW.
THEY'LL FOLD.

I WOULDN'T BET ON IT.

Dumais:
LIEUTENANT RABB?

YES?

COLONEL BARZAN
HAS A CAR WAITING

TO TAKE YOU
TO AL MATAHA.

HE SIGNED YOUR PASS
PERSONALLY.

AND LIEUTENANT AUSTIN?

WOMEN ARE NOT PERMITTED
TO VISIT AL MATAHA.

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

SORRY.

THE HELL YOU ARE...
SIR.

[
shouting in Iraqi
]

THEY CAPTURE YOU, TOO, SIR?

I'M YOUR LAWYER.
THEY DIDN'T TELL YOU?

ALL THEY DO
IS ASK ME QUESTIONS.

I WISH TO SPEAK
WITH MY CLIENT ALONE.

[
snickers
]

HOW ARE THEY
TREATING YOU?

AW, I CAN'T COMPLAIN.

THERE ARE TWO OF US
HERE TO DEFEND YOU.

DON'T SPEAK TO ANYONE
WITHOUT US PRESENT.

IT WILL ALL BE OVER
IN A FEW DAYS.

YOU THINK YOU CAN
GET ME OUT OF HERE?

COUNT ON IT.

YOUR TIME IS UP,
LIEUTENANT.

HERE'S A LETTER
FROM YOUR WIFE

AND ONE FROM YOUR DAUGHTER.

NO UNAUTHORIZED COMMUNICATIONS
TO PRISONERS.

THEY'RE LETTERS
FROM HIS FAMILY.

I'LL DECIDE THAT,
LIEUTENANT.

SEMPER FI, MARINE.

SEMPER FI, SIR.

HMM.

HE WAS RIGHT.

THEY
ARE
FROM YOUR FAMILY.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ IT?

WHAT WERE YOU DOING

ON OUR SIDE
OF THE BORDER, CORPORAL?

I ALREADY TOLD YOU--
WE GOT LOST.

MARINES IN A HUMVEE
DO NOT GET LOST.

WELL, WE DID.

I SWEAR IT.

SURELY A WOMAN LIKE YOU

HAS HAD MANY CHANCES
TO BE MARRIED.

SO FAR I'VE PREFERRED
TO CONCENTRATE ON WORK.

HOW CAN WORK COMPARE

TO THE CARESSES
OF A MAN YOU LOVE?

I WASN'T COMPARING
THEM, COLONEL. YOU WERE.

A WOMAN LIKE YOU
NEEDS A STRONG HAND.

I ALREADY HAVE
A STRONG HAND-- MY OWN.

EXCUSE ME.

COLONEL...

WONDERFUL RECEPTION.

MY COMPLIMENTS
TO YOU AND YOUR STAFF.

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,

I'M SURE
THE TWO OF YOU

HAVE MANLY THINGS
TO TALK ABOUT.

DON'T BE OFFENDED,
LIEUTENANT,

BUT SINCE WE ARE
BOTH MEN OF THE WORLD

ARE YOU AND LIEUTENANT AUSTIN
PROFESSIONAL COLLEAGUES ONLY?

IT WOULD BE
AGAINST REGULATIONS

TO BE OTHERWISE, COLONEL.

SOME WOMEN ARE WORTH
BREAKING RULES OVER.

I HAVE A VERY FINE COLLECTION
OF ANTIQUE DUELING WEAPONS--

SWORDS, EPEES, SCIMITARS.

SCIMITARS?

THE JEWELS
OF MY COLLECTION.

DO YOU THINK LIEUTENANT AUSTIN
WOULD BE INTERESTED

IN SUCH IMPLEMENTS OF VIOLENCE?

I DON'T KNOW, BUT I AM.

YOU DO NOT FASCINATE ME,
LIEUTENANT RABB. SHE DOES.

RATHER BLUNT,
BUT TO THE POINT.

SINCE YOU'RE LEAVING IN A DAY
OR TWO, I HAVE TO BE.

TWO DAYS?

IT WILL TAKE
LONGER THAN THAT

TO GET THROUGH
THE PRELIMINARIES.

THE CHIEF JUDGE
IS VERY EFFICIENT.

DO YOU KNOW HIM?

INTIMATELY.

COURT IS NOW IN SESSION

IN THE CASE OF
THE IRAQI PEOPLE

v. CORPORAL DAVID ANDERSON
OF THE UNITED STATES MARINES.

THE CHARGES ARE ESPIONAGE

AND VIOLATING
THE TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY

OF THE SOVEREIGN NATION OF IRAQ.

MAJOR KASSIM, ARE YOU PREPARED
TO CALL YOUR FIRST WITNESS?

I AM, YOUR HONOR.

THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ
CALL SERGEANT IBRAM TALFAH.

SERGEANT TALFAH,
YOU WERE IN COMMAND

OF THE BORDER PATROL SQUAD

THAT CAPTURED CORPORAL
ANDERSON, WERE YOU NOT?

I WAS, SIR.

HOW FAR ACROSS THE BORDER
WOULD YOU ESTIMATE

THE AMERICAN VEHICLE WAS
WHEN YOU FIRST SAW IT?

A GOOD TWO KILOMETERS, SIR.

WE WARNED THEM TO TURN BACK.

BUT INSTEAD,
THEY OPENED FIRE.

AND YOU RETURNED FIRE
IN SELF-DEFENSE?

EXACTLY.

THIS MADE THEM RUN,
BUT WE CAUGHT UP WITH THEM.

THANK YOU, SERGEANT.

THE DEFENSE MAY
EXAMINE THE WITNESS.

LIEUTENANT AUSTIN,
IT IS NOT CUSTOMARY

FOR A WOMAN TO APPEAR
AS AN ADVOCATE

IN A SPECIAL SERVICES COURT.

I WAS HOPING AN EXCEPTION
MIGHT BE MADE, COLONEL BARZAN.

I'M SORRY, LIEUTENANT.

THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS.

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT,
YOUR HONOR...

SIT DOWN, LIEUTENANT.

SERGEANT,
UNITED STATES MARINES

AREN'T IN THE HABIT
OF RUNNING FROM A FIGHT.

THESE MARINES DROVE AWAY
AS FAST AS THEY COULD.

[
crowd laughing
]

[
gavel pounding
]

WHICH, ACROSS THE DESERT
WOULD BE WHAT--

50 KILOMETERS AN HOUR?

AT LEAST.

BACK THE WAY THEY HAD COME?

YES.

THEY WERE VERY SCARED.

HOW LONG DID YOU CHASE THEM?

FIVE MINUTES, AT LEAST.

LET'S SEE-- 50 KILOMETERS
AN HOUR FOR FIVE MINUTES.

THAT'S A LITTLE MORE
THAN FOUR KILOMETERS.

BUT SERGEANT,
YOU TESTIFIED THAT THEY WERE

ONLY TWO KILOMETERS OVER
THE BORDER IN THE FIRST PLACE.

SO YOU SHOT AND KILLED
CORPORAL EDNER

AND CAPTURED CORPORAL ANDERSON

TWO KILOMETERS
INTO KUWAITI TERRITORY?

COLONEL BARZAN...

I REQUEST A RECESS.

I OBJECT, YOUR HONOR.

I'VE JUST BEGUN TO QUESTION...

OVERRULED.
THIS TRIBUNAL IS IN RECESS

UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING AT 8:00.

THANKS.
THAT WAS BRILLIANT.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

YOU COMING?

UH...

YEAH.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS
LIEUTENANT RABB'S ROOM.

OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT.

LIEUTENANT AUSTIN,
ONE OF MY MEN MADE A MISTAKE.

PLEASE EXCUSE US.

COLONEL, WHAT'S
ALL THE NOISE?

THIS WAS THE FEMALE'S ROOM.

HER ROOM HAD
A DRIPPING FAUCET.

WE SWITCHED.

IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME.

IS SOMETHING WRONG?

NO. JUST
A ROUTINE CHECK.

GOOD NIGHT, LIEUTENANT.

MEG, YOU'RE A GENIUS.

I SAW YOU IN THE GARDEN.

IT WAS THE ONLY WAY

WHAT THE HELL'S
GOING ON?

I WAS OUT TAKING A WALK,
AND THIS...

CUT THE BULL... SIR.

YOU WERE SNEAKING
AROUND OUT THERE

AND YOU CAME BACK
CARRYING SOMETHING. WHAT?

OH, MY GOD.
THAT'S A SAT...

[
whispering
]:
THAT'S A SATELLITE UPLINK.

THERE'S GOING TO BE
A RESCUE, ISN'T THERE?

AS SOON AS A MOLE NAMED SCIMITAR
GIVES ME AN ESCAPE ROUTE.

I THINK IT'S COLONEL BARZAN.

OH, THAT MAN'S A JERK.

JERK OR NO,

WE CAN'T CALL IN
THE NAVY SEALS

UNTIL WE KNOW HOW WE'RE
GETTING OUT OF HERE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "WE", SIR?

SORRY, MEG.

I WAS UNDER ORDERS

NOT TO TELL YOU ANYTHING.

"PSY-OPS PICKED YOU
AS LEAD COUNSEL.

GO GET 'EM."

I HAD TO TELL YOU SOMETHING,
AND YOU DID GET THEM.

THAT IDEA YOU HAD TODAY
IN COURT WAS BRILLIANT.

FOR ALL THE GOOD IT DID.

IT BOUGHT US TIME.

DAMN IT, HARM, WE'RE PARTNERS.

I DID EXACTLY WHAT YOU
WOULD HAVE DONE... PARTNER:

FOLLOWED ORDERS.

YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

I JUST WISH SOMEONE
HAD CONSIDERED ME

WORTHY OF BEING INCLUDED.

SIR, PRIVATE HEBRON
SWEARS THE MAN WHO HIT HIM

WAS THE AMERICAN LIEUTENANT.

THAT FOOL DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT HIT HIM.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN A PIG.

HE WON'T GET OUT AGAIN.

I'LL HAVE TWO MEN
TO WATCH THEM AT ALL TIMES--

EVEN IN THEIR ROOMS.

THAT'S NOT NECESSARY.

IF IT WAS THE
AMERICAN LIEUTENANT,

HE WON'T REPEAT THE MISTAKE.

BESIDES, AN INCREASE
IN SECURITY

WOULD BRING THIS
EMBARRASSING MATTER

TO THE ATTENTION
OF OUR SUPERIORS.

LIEUTENANT DUMAI
SHOULD HAVE KNOWN

THEY SWITCHED ROOMS, SIR.

YES. I'LL SEE THAT
SHE IS REPRIMANDED.

[
knock at door
]

COME IN.

YOUR COFFEE,
LIEUTENANT AUSTIN.

THANK YOU, LIEUTENANT DUMAI.

HOW DID YOU GET THAT?

AN ACCIDENT.

BECAUSE OF LAST NIGHT?

I DID NOT KNOW THAT YOU AND
LIEUTENANT RABB CHANGED ROOMS.

IT CAUSED GREAT
EMBARRASSMENT.

IT WAS ONLY PROPER
TO BE DISCIPLINED.

YOU THINK YOU'RE
SUPERIOR TO ME

BECAUSE MEN TREAT YOU
AS AN EQUAL.

NO.

I KNOW MEN DON'T
TREAT ME AS AN EQUAL.

I JUST DON'T ACCEPT THE BEHAVIOR
OF THOSE WHO DON'T AS CORRECT.

THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT YOU
DO NOT KNOW, LIEUTENANT AUSTIN.

IS THERE ANY CHANCE I COULD
GET YOU TO CALL ME MEG?

IT WOULD NOT BE PROPER.

TELL ME,
LIEUTENANT AUSTIN--

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF BABYLON?

OF COURSE.

EVERYONE'S HEARD
OF ANCIENT BABYLON--

THE TOWER
AND THE HANGING GARDENS.

IT IS 3,000 YEARS OLD,

AND WE HAVE OTHER CITIES
EVEN OLDER.

AND HOW OLD IS AMERICA?

A LITTLE OVER 200 YEARS.

YOUR COUNTRY IS LIKE A CHILD
WHO HAS LIVED NOTHING

YET THINKS IT KNOWS EVERYTHING.

LET YOUR CIVILIZATION

SURVIVE ITS FIRST
THOUSAND YEARS.

THEN PERHAPS
WE WILL BEGIN TO LISTEN.

EVEN THE YOUNG HAVE
SOMETHING OF VALUE TO OFFER.

BUT IS IT NOT FOR THE OLD
TO DECIDE IF THEY WANT

TO ACCEPT IT?

YES.

THEN WHY DO YOU TRY SO HARD
TO PUSH YOUR WAYS ON ME?

BECAUSE I CAN'T STAND
SEEING ANYONE DENIED

THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS.

Journalist: As the trial of
Marine Corporal Anderson

enters its second day,
temperatures continue to rise

here in Al-Basra.

Saddam's supporters
began demonstrating

outside the court at dawn,
and they say they will not leave

until the American spy
is brought to justice.

COLONEL BARZAN, THE DEFENSE
WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE

ITS CROSS-EXAMINATION
OF SERGEANT TALFAH.

OF COURSE. HE'S COMPLETELY
AT YOUR DISPOSAL.

SERGEANT TALFAH?

SERGEANT, YESTERDAY
YOU TESTIFIED

YOU PURSUED A MARINE HUMVEE
ACROSS THE IRAQI BORDER...

I OBJECT.

SERGEANT TALFAH MADE
NO SUCH STATEMENT.

SUSTAINED.

SERGEANT, YOU TESTIFIED
THE MARINE HUMVEE

WAS TWO KILOMETERS INTO IRAQ.

SIX-- IT WAS SIX KILOMETERS
INSIDE OUR COUNTRY.

WILL THE COURT PLEASE READ

SERGEANT TALFAH'S
TESTIMONY YESTERDAY

BACK TO HIM?

THAT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY.

I MADE A VERY FOOLISH MISTAKE,
FOR WHICH I APOLOGIZE

TO YOU AND
TO THE COURT.

CORPORAL KABAI, WHO WAS
MONITORING OUR POSITION,

INFORMED ME LAST NIGHT
THAT WE WERE AT LEAST

SIX KILOMETERS FROM
THE KUWAITI BORDER

WHEN WE SPOTTED
THE AMERICAN VEHICLE.

LIEUTENANT, NOT A GOOD DAY.

ABOUT AS EXPECTED.

-COFFEE?
-WHY NOT?

YOU DISAPPOINT ME.

I DIDN'T THINK OF YOU
AS A MAN WHO GIVES UP

WHEN FACED WITH
A LITTLE ADVERSITY.

I'M BEING REALISTIC,
COLONEL.

THE VERDICT IS OBVIOUS.

I'M AFRAID SO.

WHICH MEANS I'LL BE
LEAVING IN A FEW DAYS

WITHOUT HAVING SEEN
YOUR SCIMITAR COLLECTION.

I'D PREFER TO SHOW IT
TO LIEUTENANT AUSTIN.

BUT I'M THE SENIOR OFFICER.

TRUE... BUT IT'S
MY COLLECTION.

[

speaking Iraqi
]

POWER FAILURE.

ONLY ON THE TV.

-Just a second.
-What are you doing?

[
loud rock music playing
]

[
whispering
]: THERE'S
NO WAY I CAN PROTECT YOU.

I'M AN OFFICER
IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY.

I'LL PROTECT MYSELF.

THE COLONEL THINKS DATE RAPE'S

AN ACCEPTABLE SOCIAL PRACTICE.

HARM, I'VE BEEN HANDLING
TEXAS COWBOYS SINCE I WAS 15.

I'LL HANDLE COLONEL BARZAN.

IT'S CORPORAL ANDERSON'S
ONLY CHANCE, AND YOU KNOW IT.

I CAN'T LET YOU DO IT.

I CAN.

LIEUTENANT...

DON'T GIVE ME AN ORDER
I WON'T OBEY, SIR.

NO.

I UNDERSTAND YOU'VE BEEN HAVING
PROBLEMS WITH YOUR SHOWER,

BUT I THINK IT'S
WORKING AGAIN.

AFTER THE VERDICT,
CORPORAL ANDERSON WILL BE

RETURNED TO HIS CELL
FOR THE NIGHT.

THE FOLLOWING MORNING,
HE WILL BE MOVED TO BAGHDAD.

THE RESCUE WILL HAVE TO BE
TOMORROW NIGHT.

LIEUTENANT RABB,
I AM SCIMITAR.

[
distant shout in Iraqi

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN
YOU'RE SCIMITAR?

SHH. I LEFT YOU A MESSAGE
IN THE COURTROOM

DIRECTING YOU TO THE NORTHWEST
CORNER OF THE GARDEN WHERE

I BURIED A SATELLITE UPLINK
TO CALL IN THE NAVY SEAL TEAM.

YOU PASSED CORPORAL ANDERSON
A TRANSPONDER TO LOCATE HIM

ONCE THE SEALS ARE HERE.

ALL YOU NEED NOW IS THE
ESCAPE ROUTE, WHICH I HAVE.

I THOUGHT COLONEL BARZAN
WAS SCIMITAR.

WHAT MADE YOU THINK THAT?

HE KEPT TALKING ABOUT SCIMITARS,

PRACTICALLY WINKING
WHEN HE SAID IT.

IRAQI INTELLIGENCE
KNOWS OF SCIMITAR

AND SUSPECTS
A RESCUE ATTEMPT.

THAT'S WHY I WAITED
TO CONTACT YOU

UNTIL
EVERYTHING WAS IN PLACE.

YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING
TO THE COLONEL, DID YOU?

NO, BUT
LIEUTENANT AUSTIN MIGHT.

SHE'S WITH HIM,
AND I TOLD HER HE WAS SCIMITAR.

WHERE ARE THEY?

I DON'T KNOW.
HE TOOK HER TO DINNER

AND TO SHOW HER
HIS SCIMITAR COLLECTION.

WE MUST MOVE TONIGHT.

NOT WITHOUT
LIEUTENANT AUSTIN.

I'M AFRAID
LIEUTENANT AUSTIN IS LOST.

THE MOON WILL SOON RISE
OVER THE DESERT.

IT IS VERY BEAUTIFUL.

WE HAVE MOONLIGHT IN THE DESERT
IN TEXAS TOO, COLONEL.

I WAS IN TEXAS.

MANY YEARS AGO AT
YOUR LACKLAND AIR FORCE BASE

FOR PILOT TRAINING.

A VAST STATE.

BUT YOUR DESERT PALES
NEXT TO OURS.

AH, DESSERT.

I THINK YOU WILL FIND THIS
DESSERT QUITE SURPRISING.

I'M AFRAID I'M FULL.

THIS PARTICULAR DISH

IS NOT FILLING.

THANK GOD IT'S NOT
SOMETHING TO EAT.

I LOVE YOUR COURAGE.

OUR WOMEN ARE SO WEAK
COMPARED TO YOU.

YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS?

OF COURSE.
A SATELLITE UPLINK.

WHICH WE FOUND IN
LIEUTENANT RABB'S ROOM...

OR WAS IT YOUR ROOM?

YOU TRADE SO OFTEN,
IT'S HARD TO KEEP TRACK.

WELL, WE KNOW.
THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.

NO. WHAT MATTERS
IS WHAT I DO ABOUT THIS.

ARE YOU OFFERING A WAY OUT
OF THIS EMBARRASSMENT?

PERHAPS.

FORGIVE ME, COLONEL, BUT I FIND
IT VERY DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE

THAT YOU WOULD OVERLOOK THIS
FOR A MOMENT OF INTIMACY.

OF COURSE NOT.

WHY BARTER FOR SOMETHING
I CAN TAKE.

IN EXCHANGE
FOR SCIMITAR'S IDENTITY,

YOU AND LIEUTENANT RABB WILL BE
DEPORTED FROM IRAQ IN DISGRACE.

BUT WITH YOUR HEADS INTACT.

GO TO HELL.

CHRISTIAN OR MUSLIM HELL?

WHICHEVER WILL TAKE YOU.

I PROMISED TO SHOW YOU
MY SCIMITARS.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE.

A DAMASCUS BLADE.

PERFECTLY BALANCED.

SHARP ENOUGH...

TO SPLIT A HAIR.

STRONG ENOUGH...

TO LOP OFF A HEAD.

MEG!

ARE YOU OKAY?

I AM NOW.

I'M SORRY, SIR.
HE INSISTED

THAT I BRING HIM HERE.

WHAT DID HE DO, PUT
A LAW BOOK TO YOUR HEAD?

NO. HE SAID THAT HE WOULD
LOUDLY ANNOUNCE IN HIS ROOM

THAT YOU'RE SOMEONE
CALLED SCIMITAR.

Rabb: WITHOUT THE SHOWER RUNNING
OR THE MUSIC PLAYING.

I'M SURE YOUR PEOPLE LISTENING
IN WOULD FIND THAT INTERESTING.

I'M THE ONE LISTENING IN.

I DIDN'T KNOW.

LIEUTENANT DUMAI

I WILL SEE
TO YOUR STUPIDITY LATER.

YES, SIR.
I'M SORRY, SIR.

LIEUTENANT AUSTIN AND I WERE
JUST DISCUSSING SCIMITAR.

I AM WILLING TO TRADE
YOUR LIVES FOR HIS NAME.

GO TO HELL.

THE NAME!

-Dumai: COLONEL.
-WHAT?

THERE WAS NOTHING
ELSE TO DO.

IT'S DEAD.

I'M SORRY.

YOU'LL HAVE TO ESCAPE
WITHOUT YOUR MARINE.

NOT IF YOU CAN GET US WEAPONS.

I CANNOT GET YOU INTO AL MATAHA.

HE CAN.

chuckling

WE NEED TO FIND HIM QUICKLY.

IT WILL BE DAYLIGHT SOON.

THERE'S A LOT MORE IN MY
LAPTOP THAN LEGAL PRECEDENTS.

I JUST HOPE THEY DIDN'T
FIND THE TRANSPONDER.

BINGO.

[
speaking Iraqi
]

HURRY.

COME ON, CORPORAL.
WE'RE GOING HOME.

SIR?

-UNLESS YOU'D RATHER STAY.
-NO, SIR.

[
alarm sounding
]

GO!

[
automatic gunfire
]

YOU OKAY?

YES, SIR.
DON'T ASK ME HOW.

YOU CAN THANK COLONEL BARZAN
FOR MAKING HIS LIMO BULLETPROOF.

HIT ME WITH YOUR PISTOL
ACROSS THE HEAD.

THE GUARD SAW ME
HOLD A GUN ON YOU.

IT IS NOT ENOUGH.

THEN COME WITH US.

WHAT I DID
I DID FOR MY COUNTRY.

ONE DAY SADDAM WILL PASS,

BUT IRAQ WILL REMAIN,
AND SO WILL I.

-PLEASE, HIT ME.
-I CAN'T.

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE A BRAVE WOMAN.

SO ARE YOU, MEG.

LIEUTENANT.

GO QUICKLY.

THAT CHOPPER'S GETTIN' CLOSE.
OPEN THE SUNROOF.

HARD RIGHT!

HARD LEFT!

WE'RE ALMOST TO THE BORDER.

THESE GUYS DON'T
STOP FOR BORDERS.

THEY'LL STOP AT THIS ONE.

[
cheering

IT'S JUST LIKE
STAGECOACH.

HELL, YES,
WITH JOHN WAYNE.

JOHN WAYNE WAS CHASED BY IRAQIS?

INDIANS.

BET THEY DIDN'T
HAVE A WOMAN WITH THEM.

YOU'D BET WRONG.

THEY HAD A WOMAN A LOT
LIKE YOU. CLAIRE TREVOR.

A PROSTITUTE
DUKE FELL FOR.

ARE YOU COMPARING ME
TO A PROSTITUTE?

I DIDN'T SAY THAT.

I DID. I MEANT
SHE WAS SPUNKY LIKE YOU.

SPUNKY DOESN'T
CUT IT, SIR.

HOW ABOUT PRETTY?
