Well, I thought
you'd like Orsini's.

I did. It's just that
we always go to dinner.

We haven't been
to a movie in ages.

Any particular
movie in mind?

Yeah. You know,
the one with... what's-his-name

and the actress
with the sibilant "S"?

-Wow, that's scary.
-No, it's a comedy.

No, I knew exactly
who you were talking about.

[laughs]

[voicemail]
It's Jordan.
I'm back from Spain.

Well, actually, I've been back
for four months.

I'm running a new psychiatric
counseling center at Quantico.

I'm billeted there on base
in temp housing.

Anyway, I was thinking
about you.

Thought we might talk.
703-555-2694.

You want some wine?

Sure.

I think the elephant might
want some, too.

-What?
-The one you're ignoring.

You just received a message
from your old girlfriend, Harm.

-Rene...
-Call her back.

What was it? 555-2694?

Want me to put it
on speakerphone?

-I already have.
-[man]
Parker residence.

Hello, is Lieutenant Commander
Parker there, please?

Who am I speaking with, please?

Commander Harmon Rabb.

This is NCIS Special Agent
Kenworthy, Commander.

Are you a friend of hers?

Yes, I am.

I'm sorry to have to tell you.
Commander Parker is dead.

[opening theme music playing]

[man] I was doing our laundry
in back of the complex

and when I returned,
my wife was calling 9-1-1.

She said she heard something
that sounded like a gunshot.

Commander Rabb?

I'll be with you in a moment.

What time did you hear
this sound, Mrs. Maples?

Um, around 6:30.
It startled me

so I cracked the door
and looked out.

I saw an officer
exiting down the stairs

but I couldn't see
his face.

Could you tell their branch
of service or rank?

Um... I'm sorry.

Look, um, my wife's
been really ill.

Do you mind if we
continue this inside?

Of course, Colonel.
I'll be with you shortly.

[Rabb]
Lieutenant Commander Parker.

That would be me.

Seems like you had
some car trouble.

Yeah, me and half
the city.

I hit an icy patch going out
the main gate,
went off the road.

You're just lucky
nobody was hurt, doctor.

-Mmm. Unless you count
Melchior and Balthazar.
-Who?

When I spun off the road,
I wiped out a nativity scene.

Miraculously, I managed
to avoid Baby Jesus,

but I decapitated
two wise men and a donkey.

Hopefully, God has
a sense of humor

and Mary and Joseph
won't press charges.

[Kenworthy] Commander.

Commander?

Oh, I'm sorry,
Agent Kenworthy.

What have you found out?

How well did you know
Commander Parker?

I knew her pretty well.
We dated.

I hadn't seen her
in over a year.

What exactly happened?

Why were you
calling her?

I was returning her call.
She left me a message.

It was the first I'd heard
she was back from Spain.

-I brought the tape.
-Thank you.

As a JAG attorney
I'd like to offer
any and all assistance.

Why was she calling you?

She wasn't specific.

Was she murdered?

That would be
my preliminary opinion.

Under what circumstances?

This may take a while,
Commander.

Let me just finish up here
and we'll go someplace
where we can talk.

Admiral.

[Chegwidden] Commander,
um, I heard.

My deepest sympathies.

Thank you, sir.
Would you consider, sir,

ordering a JAGMAN investigation
to run parallel

-to what NCIS is doing?
-Why?

We were all friendly with
Commander Parker, sir.

-We think we should
-be a part of it.
-[Chegwidden] Better reason.

They're keeping
Commander Rabb
in the dark, sir.

Why would they
do that?

I'm on the
suspect list, sir.

He was alone in his car
at the time of
Commander Parker's death.

I was on my way to Montclair
to pick up Rene.

Which is close
to Quantico.

All right. Colonel,
you'll head it

-Roberts will assist.
-[Roberts] Thank you, sir.

Sir, may I enlist
the services

or Lieutenant Commander Coulter
for forensic pathology?

All right. Done.
Just stay in the background.

-[Rabb] Yes.
-Any appearance
of impropriety...

-I understand, sir.
-Let's just hope you do.

[man] Admiral...

Detective Grady.

Why is it my
mouth gets dry
every time I see you?

Good news, Admiral.

Last night we arrested
a 17-year-old male

for possession of marijuana.

He told us he and Danny Walden
bought large quantities

on the day Danny borrowed
your vehicle.

So that links Danny

to the marijuana
found in my truck?

[Grady] We always knew it.
Now we can prove it.

This is a big break
for us, Admiral.

Opens up a longtime
investigation

of teenage drug use
in the community.

I assume you're going
to prosecute Danny.

If you agree to testify
against him.

Tiner, get me some water.

Jordan.

Harm?

[Coulter] Harm? Daydreaming?

[scoffs] Unfortunately.

Nice to see you, Teresa.

I wish it was under
more pleasant circumstances.

Well, I hope I can be
of some help.

Did you examine
the body?

I just got back
from the morgue.

The muzzle mark, the powder
residue pattern on the clothing

and the muscle-mass displacement
all indicate that

the gun was placed directly
against her chest and fired.

-What about the crime scene?
-NCIS will only clear me
for forensic pathology.

They won't let us near
the rest of the evidence

until they've concluded
their own investigation.

[Roberts] But their preliminary
report indicates

that the weapon,
a .38 Airweight

belonged to Commander Parker.

[Coulter] Are you okay?

When Clark Palmer was
threatening Jordan,

I insisted
she buy the weapon.

-[Kenworthy] Good morning,
Commander.
-Agent Kenworthy.

Is this the JAG team?

Lieutenant Colonel MacKenzie.
This is Lieutenant Roberts.

Do you believe
it's proper, Colonel,

to be associating
with an NCIS suspect?

We're associating with
a fellow mourner, Special Agent.

We all knew Commander Parker,
and we're not about to nod

to each other
from across the chapel.

Excuse us.

[Fontenot] When we met
three months ago at the PX,

I was totally taken with her.

She nailed my relationship
with my mother in one sentence.

You couldn't hide anything
from Jordan

and that's why
I fell for her.

I assume
he's on your list.

We see him Tuesday.

She helped me learn
to commit

and I helped her get over
the last guy who couldn't.

Good news or bad?

A.J.

What are you doing here?

How do doctors do it?
I've never understood that.

I mean, how do you
tell someone that

their cancer's spreading,
that their heart's failing or...

They're being dumped?

Actually, I'm the messenger
this time.

-I see.
-It's about Danny.

-Isn't it always?
-The police have
linked him to the marijuana

found in my truck.

I'm here to tell you
why I'm testifying against him.

The prosecution needs me
to establish his presence

in the vehicle.

Why are you telling me this?

Because I didn't want you
to be surprised.

That doesn't make it hurt
any less.

You're still willing
to help put my son in jail.

-Reluctantly.
-That's gratifying.

Have you ever considered
that you're too close
to your son

to make
objective judgments?

And have you ever considered
that maybe you're too much
of an outsider

to make a judgment?

Now, please leave.

You never answered
my question.

She's going to live.

So will you.

Hey.

Hey. What's up?

Um, how do I put this?

I had to move you and Rene
off the head table.

It only seats eight.

With the bridal party,
Bud, Harriet,

the Admiral, Chloe,
the chief of chaplains

-there's only room left for...
-It's okay, Mac.

-Are you sure?
-Yeah.

Look, have you looked
into Jordan's patient file?

Because she treated everything
from anxiety

to post-traumatic
stress disorder.

I think we can assume
some of these patients have

-the potential for violence.
-I think that we can assume

all plausible theories
are still on the table.

Harm, I know that
you're frustrated,

but coaching from
the sidelines isn't helpful.

Well, what would you
prefer I do?

[Kenworthy] Be grateful.

You've been cleared, Commander.

[Rabb] Who's the new suspect?

The victim.

We now believe Commander Parker
took her own life.

[Coulter]
Suicide? What are they
basing this on?

There was no sign
of forced entry.

She died seated in a chair,
which is a common scenario.

And also, the witness spotted an
officer leaving officer housing.

If he'd been leaving
Jordan's quarters,

it would have been
another story.

-[Coulter] What about forensics?
-[Roberts] Well, the only prints

on the gun
are Commander Parker's

and the angle
of entry is consistent

with a self-inflicted wound
from a right-handed person.

Clever killer
could've arranged all that.

NCIS has also conducted
a psychological autopsy.

-Oh, God, not that.
-[Rabb] Why?
What's your take on it?

Those who knew the dead
person are interviewed

as a way of reconstructing
his or her mental state.

The tendency is to seize on
any life-happenstance,

-no matter how trivial.
-So you're not buying it.

Well, a psychological autopsy
could have helped determine
how my mother died, Harm.

I mean, I don't like them,
but I'm not willing
to ignore them.

The NCIS are saying I'm
responsible for Jordan's death.

-[Coulter] Why?
-[MacKenzie]
Her boyfriend told them

her relationship with Harm
wounded her psychologically.

The theory is that

because I didn't return
Jordan's phone call immediately

she became depressed and used
the weapon I insisted she buy

to punish me for hurting her.

Lieutenant, inform the NCIS

I need access to the crime
scene before they release it.

-Yes, ma'am.
-And request all
relevant documents.

Uh, they may
resist, ma'am.

Well, then tear them out
of their hands, Lieutenant.

Admiral.

Morning.

This is, uh, my attorney
Miller Josephson.

-Admiral.
-You know my mother,
of course.

How you doing?

Maybe I should be asking
you that question.

Fine.

Sorry it came down to this.
Uh... good luck.

Same to you.

-[Coulter] Yeah?
-Busy?

[Coulter] Come in.

Commander Harmon Rabb,
Bruce Gasden,
hospital toxicologist.

Oh, hi, Bruce.
Pleasure to meet you.

-My pleasure.
-What brings you here?

Well, I didn't have a chance
to catch up, so, uh...

You want to see
where we are.

Yeah, I do.

NCIS discounted evidence
we think may be relevant.

-Like what?
-[Gasden] Well, for one,
some of the blood

collected at the crime scene
was from an animal.

[Rabb] How would they
know that?

Well, it's standard to check
for antibody precipitates.

-Well, maybe Jordan had a pet.
-[Coulter] No.

-There's no indication that
there was one on the premises.
-Conclusions?

They felt it was a dead end.

We're going to stay with it.

I also revisited
the gunshot evidence.

The residue appears to
be evenly distributed

on both of Jordan's hands.
If she'd shot herself,

there'd be more coverage on
the top of the shooting hand.

Well, where does that
put her hands when
the gun was fired, then?

Away from the weapon.

And what about her fingerprints
on the weapon?

Prints on metal parts indicate
handling, not shooting.

We weren't able to get anything
off the handle because
it was textured.

And there was a smeared
partial print on the trigger

that we couldn't
positively identify.

Harm, I feel sure
this was a murder.

Well... then that's what
we'll assume

as we investigate further.

You on the team?

I am now.

Admiral, to whom
did you lend your vehicle

on November 3rd, 2000?

-Danny Walden.
-[prosecutor]
What happened to it?

It was found abandoned
in West County Park

with eight ounces of marijuana
in the front seat.

[prosecutor] What was
Danny's explanation
when confronted?

He claimed that the vehicle
had been stolen.

-Did you believe him?
-[Chegwidden] Well, no.
It didn't add up.

Why would somebody
steal a vehicle
and walk away empty-handed?

Why wasn't the radio missing?
The cell phone?

Why would they
leave behind the drugs?

Did you ask these questions
of Mr. Walden?

I asked him if he put off
calling the police
'cause he was stoned.

Your witness.

[Josephson] What was
Danny's answer
to that question, Admiral?

He claimed he was
getting up his nerve
before he called the police.

Let's say the car was stolen
and the thief got stoned,

lost control of the vehicle
and stumbled away

in a drug stupor. Did that
possibility occur to you?

-In reference to Danny, yes.
-[Josephson] Why?

Personal experience.

Did you ever see Danny do drugs?

-No.
-You ever see him steal, cheat,

-commit a crime?
-[Chegwidden] No.

Then, isn't the only
personal experience

your relationship
with Danny Walden's mother?

-I don't understand.
-Dr. Walden believed
her son, correct?

-Yes.
-[Josephson]
Weren't your differences

on this issue
the reason for your breakup?

-Yes.
-[Josephson] Admiral,
aren't you testifying

because of the anger
and hurt you felt

from being rejected
by the mother

of the son
she was protecting?

You're a scorned lover, Admiral.

Aren't you using this incident
to get back at Dr. Walden?

Aren't you badgering me,
Counselor?

I have never sustained

a witness's objection
before, Admiral,

but I think he is.

Mr. Josephson, would you kindly
back off that approach?

No more questions.

Hey.

-[Rene] Hey.
-[Rabb] What's up?

Well, I thought we could
extend your lunch

and catch that movie.

You want me to play hooky?

Try it, you'll like it.

Rene, I'm about to jump
into the investigation.

See, it's about this guy
who keeps putting his job
above his girlfriend.

-She leaves him
for George Clooney.
-Sounds good.

Yeah, and then
he's so miserable

that he ends up babbling to
himself in subway stations.

Well, you know what?
Let's do it tonight.

I'm late for an interview.

Put the information on my desk,
and I'll meet you there.

'Kay?

But she can't live
without him, see,

so she tracks him down and...

buys him soup.

[sighs]

Excuse me.
Permission to sit in, Colonel?

I'm not sure
that's necessary, Commander.

Hi.

Major Lynch, this
is Commander Harmon...

Rabb. I recognized you
at the funeral

from a picture
that Jordan had showed me.

Would it make you uncomfortable
if I sat in, Major?

-No.
-Then consider me
a fly on the wall.

The major is aware that our
investigation is ongoing

and focuses on
a murder scenario.

What do you believe happened,
Major?

[Lynch] I'm open to all
theories, Commander.

Major was telling us about
one of Commander Parker's
clients,

an assistant disbursing officer
by the name

of Lieutenant George Fontenot.

Major was present when the
lieutenant called the commander

in an agitated state.

-What did Jordan
say about him?
-Only what you just heard, sir.

Jordan,
as I'm sure you're aware,

was bound by the ethics
of her profession.

Did you tell NCIS
about Lieutenant Fontenot?

They had already concluded
it was suicide
when it occurred to me.

You didn't consider it your
responsibility to inform NCIS?

I'm not sure
what you're implying, sir.

You ever get agitated, Major?

Ma'am, I'm wondering
about objectivity here.

[Rabb] Where were you the night
Jordan was murdered?

-Excuse me?
-[Rabb] Do you have an alibi?

I know you don't have one,
Commander.

We'll check
on Lieutenant Fontenot, Major.

Thank you for your time.

Colonel. Commander.

-Why would you do that?
-I could ask you the same thing.

You're not an official part
of this investigation.

I'm an official part
of Jordan's life, okay?

And I expect to be notified
when something breaks.

Common sense demands that
you stay out of it, Harm.

Is it common sense, Mac,
to allow him

to walk out of here
without telling us

where he was
when Jordan was killed?

Sir, we already asked him
the question.

The major was shopping
for an engagement ring

for Commander Parker
at the time of her death.

He planned to propose
that night.

He told the same story to NCIS,
and they confirmed it.

[sighs]

[judge] The testimony clearly
puts the defendant together

with the marijuana
he is accused of possessing.

It also links him to the vehicle
in which the marijuana
was found.

And despite
the defense's attacks

on the credibility
of the prosecution witnesses,

I see no real convincing reason
to doubt them.

Therefore, I find you,
Daniel Arthur Walden,

guilty of the charge of
possessing an illegal substance.

Mr. Walden, you will return here
tomorrow morning

at ten o'clock for sentencing.

[bangs gavel]

[Grady] Thank you, Admiral.

I'm sorry for the pounding
you had to take
for your troubles.

You know, Detective,
the kid's sharp.

He's got presence,
confidence.

With a little guidance,
he ought to be clerking
for a judge

instead of appearing
before one.

Hey. You still interested
in being a part
of the investigation?

I'm surprised
you'd want me.

Jordan was a part of your life.
It's unfair for me
to leave you out.

Just... try and stay objective.

Well, I'm sure
you'll remind me if I'm not.

Bud tracked down
George Fontenot,

the lieutenant who made
the troubled call to Jordan.

-Is he a serious lead?
-Well, you tell me--

Last night
Quantico's commanding general

had him admitted
to Bethesda Naval Hospital
for special evaluation.

-Why?
-He attacked a fellow officer

with a baseball bat.

[Fontenot]
It was the base playoffs, sir.

Every time
I stepped to the plate,

the catcher was talking trash.

Eight innings of stuff
about my intelligence...

my mother...

my sexual
preferences.

So you hit him
with a baseball bat?

He was wearing a mask
and a chest-protector, sir.

Lieutenant Fontenot,
your records indicate

that you recently
shoved a private.

The private was unruly,

and I did receive
official counseling for that.

-[MacKenzie]
With Commander Parker?
-Yes, ma'am.

Who felt you had
an anger problem.

[Fontenot] Yes, ma'am.

A witness tells us
that you called the commander

on her cell phone
a week-and-a-half ago.

He heard you screaming
on the other end.

She'd canceled my appointment
for that afternoon

by leaving a message.

Is that a yes, Lieutenant?

You're right, ma'am.
I'm sorry.

I was probably
taking it...

personally.

Your wife died recently,
didn't she, Lieutenant?

In a car crash.

Did you talk to Lieutenant
Commander Parker about this?

[Fontenot] Yes, sir.

[Rabb] Did you get
angry then?

Is there something you want
to tell us, Lieutenant?

[chuckles, sniffles]

That I would like to speak
to an attorney, sir.

[Rabb]
Lieutenant Fontenot's
last session

with Jordan was April 27th.

I still can't believe
you were able

to get
his patient file released.

An exception in rule 513
allows the disclosure

of normally privileged
information

if the communication
contemplates

the future commission
of a crime.

But the lieutenant's in custody.

-Yeah, for the moment.
-"April 27th...

remains in a sensitive
and agitated state

due to wife's death,
who was a stabilizing influence.

Condition exacerbated
by a painful adolescence.

Mother passed away when he was
12. Was frequently bullied.

Need for maternal guidance
significant

leading to an uncommonly
respectful attitude

toward women in general."

[Roberts] Well, that takes
the wind out of that sail.

His wife was gone.
He was clearly dependent

on Commander Parker for help.

-Why would he want to kill her?
-Maybe she wasn't helping him,

and his impatience
got the best of him.

This is a man
who attacks people.

His aggression's
always been focused towards men.

I mean, he was more responsive
to your questions than ours.

-[Coulter] I agree with Harm.
-Yeah, so do I, ma'am.

If Commander Parker felt
she was in danger from him,

she would have made note of it,
but she confirms the opposite.

Yeah, and he was
on duty that night.

He would have had to have
snuck away from his post

just to get near her.

[door opens]

-Excuse me.
-Rene.

Hey, how are you?

Well, you tell me.

The movie.

Uh... I'm sorry,
I got caught up here.

How was it?

I wouldn't know.

I was waiting outside
for my date.

Rene.

Hey.

[Coulter] Everything all right?

Yeah.
Yeah. She went home.

-[Coulter] Angry?
-Oh, yeah.

[Coulter] You probably
don't want company.

No, you can have a seat.

Hey, we still need
to catch up.

She, uh... thinks
I'm self-absorbed.

Well, you are,
and for good reason.

When your mother died,
did you feel guilty?

Harm...
Jordan didn't kill herself.

I don't know.

The gun, the fact
that she was trying

to get ahold of me.

The breakup.

Those aren't
the reasons she's dead.

You don't know that.

Why
was
she trying to reach you?

I think she needed my help
for something.

Well, you're working
her case.

How'd you two end it?

[sighs]

She, uh...

She... just walked out.

You never
said goodbye?

I see.

Anyway, how are you doing?

-I'm fine.
-Good.

Son, since this
is your first offense,

I've decided
to give you a choice.

You can serve one year
in a county facility

or five years' probation.

Now, the conditions
of the probation

are that you're to live at home

under the supervision
of your mother

and abide by a strict curfew.

You have a preference?

We'll take the probation,
Your Honor.

Your Honor,
will you listen to argument
against the second option?

Are you opposed
to the probation, Admiral?

If it involves supervision
by his mother, yes, I am.

Sidney Walden
is a loving parent

who is easily manipulated
by her son.

-No lesson
will be learned here.
-Your Honor...

the admiral couldn't be
farther from the truth.

My son has always
been respectful

of my position and judgment.

Have you ever warned him
about doing drugs, doctor?

Yes, of course.

Well, what do you believe
went awry here?

He was in the wrong place
at the wrong time.

He was in the place
he chose to be.

I have already made
that evaluation.
Do you not agree?

I'm willing to accept
your judgment
and so is Danny.

But do you disagree?

Danny's my son.
He wouldn't lie to me.

[sighs]

Admiral,
do you have a suggestion
for this second option?

-Military service.
-No way.

Son, I'll allow you
to express an opinion,

but you don't have a vote here.

I imagine you're talking
about the Navy.

Any branch of the service

can provide
character-building, Your Honor.

However, I do know
that marijuana possession

can be waived by Navy recruiters

for otherwise
exceptional applicants.

Your Honor...
I made a mistake here, okay?

And I fully intend
to correct the behavior

but I don't understand
why I can't be trusted

to abide by the rules
of probation.

Son, you couldn't be trusted

to treat the admiral's car
with respect.

Probation is
a much tougher challenge.

[sighs]

Look, I-I don't like boats.
I don't even swim.

I really don't think that
three years in the Navy

is going to make
me a better man.

It made me one.

Mac, listen to what's written
in Jordan's date book.

April 28th, the night
before the murder.

"Mistake to be seeing him.
The late-night visits
are intrusive,

particularly tonight.

I'm not getting
any privacy.
Tell him it has to stop."

So why isn't he identified?

Oh, I think he is.

Major Lynch was
a frequent visitor
to the building.

I used to see him
coming in and out
of Jordan's quarters.

Fred liked him--
they used to play.

-He was very nice.
-Did you ever see him, Colonel?

Once, I think.
We were never introduced.

Mrs. Maples were any
of the visits late at night?

Um... yes, I do
recall some.

Why are you asking
these questions?

Didn't NCIS determine
it was a suicide?

We have a different take
on the incident, Colonel.

Do you think the major
was involved?

Do you remember seeing him
that night, ma'am?

No. I-I find this
very hard to believe.

Did you see him?

Well, which night?
The night before?

[Rabb] Yes.

Look, you're making
her nervous.

Why do we have to keep going
through this?

Please,
answer the question, ma'am.

I want you to leave. Now.

[Rabb] It's a simple question,
Mrs. Maples.

Yes.

I believe I did
see him that night.

[MacKenzie]
Where were you
at the time
Commander Parker's death?

I've already established
that, ma'am.

You didn't establish it, Major.

Your gunnery sergeant did.

We just spoke with her.

She told NCIS you were
at the jewelry store

because that's
what you told her.

And this is a problem?

I assume you can
provide a receipt

proving the purchase of
this engagement ring.

I never bought the ring, sir.

Well, then a salesperson

who'll confirm your presence
in the store at the time, Major.

Let me... Let me try
to understand this, sir.

You, a suspect, without
an alibi in Jordan's murder

are asking me
if I can support mine.

I'll ask you, Major.
Can you?

I wasn't in the store, ma'am.

My gunny assumed
that because

I'd asked her
about what to buy.

Well, then where were you?

In Lafayette Park, ma'am.

Well, why don't you
clarify this for NCIS?

Because I didn't want
to be suspected
of something I didn't do.

Why were you in the park?

I was thinking, ma'am.

[MacKenzie] About what?

About how I was going
to win Jordan back.

She'd broken up with you?

[Fontenot] About an hour before.

That's why I considered
buying a ring.
I thought it might...

I thought it might convince her
to change her mind.

Why didn't you
buy the ring, Major?

Because I realized
it wouldn't work.

I had made my
commitment too late.

Look, I'm being straight
with you

because I want to be clear
that I loved Jordan.

I did not kill her.
I would not kill her.

So...

so, let-- let's talk
about this in the spirit

of finding out
the person who did.

Let's talk about where you were

the night before Jordan died.

Is this part of your
murder theory, Commander?

Did you visit her,
Major?

That would be a no, sir.

I was visiting my sister
in St. Louis.

Shall I get her on the phone
to confirm, sir?

Why would Mrs. Maples lie
about seeing Lynch

leave Jordan's quarters
the night before?

Maybe because she
was a frail woman
who was pushed into

falsely identifying
a suspect

by an overzealous
attorney.

-I didn't push her, Mac.
-You're pushing
everybody, Harm.

You pushed Bud right out
of the investigation.

Yeah, well, Lynch could
still be guilty.

Our theory is that
the person
in Jordan's date book

killed her, and
that's not Lynch.

Yeah, well, she writes about not
wanting to see him anymore

and that is Lynch.

Unless she broke up
with two people.

[sighs] What do you
want to do now?

Regroup in the morning,
and start with an open mind.

[thunder rumbling]

What obsessions
have you been having?

Well, there's
a certain Navy psychiatrist

I think a lot about.

Well, sometimes the best way
to get rid of these obsessions

is to indulge in them.

Oh, really?

[thunder cracks]

Did you hear
what I just said?

-Yeah.
What was it?

[sighs] I don't know.
I'm sorry, Rene.

I'm a thousand miles away.

Just let me get through this,
okay?

I'll make it up to you.

Do you get
through things, Harm?

Eventually.

What about your father?

That is resolved, Rene.

Until next Christmas,
when you revisit the Wall.

How about
your flying career?

It's out
of my system.

When are your quals?

In two weeks, and don't mention
Mac, okay?

How about Jordan?

Why'd you guys
break up?

Jordan broke up with me.

When I got back from sea duty,

I wanted to pick things up
where we left off.

She didn't think I could commit.

She didn't wanna
get pulled back in.

Pull me in, Harm.

I just did that, Rene.

No. No, you've
made gestures.

Do you know, I still don't
even know what drives you.

You know, you share
all these stories

about your
family members

but never
about yourself.

It would just
be helpful to know

how you grew into
this person that you are.

I don't have that kind
of insight into myself, Rene.

Tell me about your childhood.

I mean, did you...
did you wear braces?

Did you cause
a lot of trouble?

Did you have
an imaginary friend?

Rene, I'm just
really tired right now.

I... I can't
even think straight.

I'm sorry.

I'm going home.

Just give me a week, okay?

Am I going to have to die
for you to commit to me?

-[door opens]
-[sighs]

[door closes]

[thunder cracks]

[MacKenzie]
Harm, you
should hear this.

I just got back the analysis
on the animal blood.

I tested for dog and cat
and it came up dog.

-What does that mean?
-There could have been a dog

at Jordan's quarters
on the night of her death.

I told her there was one
in the opposite unit.

That's right.

Let's find out
if it was injured.

[Sidney] What are you
doing here?

Well, it was my idea.
I wanted to follow through.

You're not going to make me
salute now, are you?

Not yet.

You know, I don't know.
Maybe it's you
or the trial or both

but the only specialty
I can think of
is Legal Affairs.

Well, that's a career choice.
Might take you a few years.

-Well, maybe
I'll end up at JAG.
-God forbid.

You know, son, I know
you think I ruined your life

but I want you
to do me a couple of favors.

One, I want you
to write your mother every week,

and two, I want you
to visit her on every leave

'cause she's
going to miss you.

She's going
to miss you a lot.

Let's go.

Major Lynch didn't visit
Commander Parker

the night before
she did, ma'am.

He was in St. Louis.

Oh, thank God.

Oh, good. I genuinely like him.

So you didn't
see him?

No, I guess not.
I'm very sorry.

I spent most of the year
in a hospital.

[Jane] I don't think
I'm quite with it yet,

so I hope
I haven't wasted your time.

Hey, buddy.

You know what? He can
get a little feisty.

Looks like he has
a problem there.

Skin infection.
We're treating him for it.

He's been scratching it.

[Jane] Yeah. I'm afraid
it's time to put him

in one of those, um, cones.

He'll hate it.

So when you say that you weren't
quite with it, Mrs. Maples,

do you mean that you didn't
see anyone that night,

-or you saw somebody else?
-I didn't see anyone.

Really? I was under
the impression that
you did see somebody.

Well, that's... um... I was...
I was confused.

[Rabb] Or you're
protecting somebody.

Where was your husband
that night, ma'am?

-Here.
-[Coulter] Doing what?

[Jane] Doing--

He takes care of me.

He didn't leave at some point
that evening?

Maybe. I don't know.

Well, which--
which is it, ma'am?

Did Lieutenant Colonel Maples
visit Jordan that night?

Colonel, were you having
an affair with Lieutenant
Commander Parker?

What hell are you
talking about, Commander?

We know you were with Jordan
the night before she died.

We have a witness, Colonel.

Yes, I was in her quarters
but we were
not having an affair.

Then why were you there?

I was seeing her for counseling.

I went two, three times
a week.

It was informal.
We would talk
in her living room.

What about?

My wife.

She's, uh...

unstable...

capable of irrational,
even violent behavior.

Been in and out
of institutions

over the last eight years.

It's become increasingly
difficult for me.

I was struggling,
whether to...

put her away permanently.

Obviously, I didn't want her
to know about that

so I would visit
Commander Parker

after Jane
had gone to bed.

Who was it that saw me
in her quarters?

Oh, dear God.

Fred needed to go.
He kept scratching at the bed.

Finally woke me up.

So I took him outside.

As I was heading back,
I... I saw...

Peter coming out
of Jordan's quarters.

When he went
to the bathroom,

I snuck back in bed.

Did you
confront him?

I haven't been
much of a wife.

[whispering]
I've been sick, you know.

But I understood
that he might have, um...

impulses.

How did you feel about
Commander Parker?

Less sympathetic.

-Did you visit her?
-[Jane] The next night,

when Peter was
doing the laundry,
I went over there.

She answered the door,
said hello.

I said...

I was too upset
to answer back.

I think this frightened her
because--

Anyway, she said
that she was busy

and she really... she couldn't
talk to me just then.

And I remember thinking...

"You make it very clear
how you feel."

What did you do?

I... I pushed
my way in.

[MacKenzie] Did she react?

[Jane]
Well, she... she tried to
calm me down at first, but...

I'm... so familiar
with those tactics.

And I slapped her.

I think that's when she went
to the drawer and got a gun,

told me to leave.

[MacKenzie]
Did you take the gun from her?

[Jane]
No. Fred ran in,
started barking.

It startled her.

She fell back into a chair,
dropped the gun.

It was right there by my feet.
I picked it up, and...

I held it to her chest.
This was only to warn her.

-[gunshot]
-The gun went off...

and I let go of it.

I just...

I didn't know what to do...

so I left.

I ju...

I just...

[Jane sighs]

[sighing]

[Parker]
"Harm, I left a message
on your machine today

but then thought
you'd probably moved on

and might not want
to call me back

so I'm sending you this note.

Even after I left,
I have to admit

I remained in conflict
about you until this morning.

I awoke with the sense

that our relationship
was not a lost opportunity

like I had thought,
but a gift.

I'm a better person
for having known you,

and I hope you feel
the same way about me.

I've been seeing somebody

but feel the need to be
with myself for a time.

This is a good thing.

I don't know
what choices you've made

but I can only hope

you're embracing them
with the same confidence.

My best wishes always.
Love, Jordan."

[phone rings]

-Hello?
-[Rabb]
Hey, you busy?

We just wrapped.

Listen, how'd you like
to see a movie?

It's not playing anymore.

No, no, this is a...
this is a different movie.

[chuckling]

[Rabb] That's me.
That's Mary Kelly.

I was 13.

My mom filmed it.

She found it
a little while ago,
sent it up.

Do you remember this?

Like it was yesterday.

What were you thinking?

I was thinking
I wanted to dance with her.

Then why are you
just standing there?

I don't know.

Let's talk about that.
