[engine roaring]

-[siren wailing]
-[tires squealing]

Looks like we got two joyriders
doing 55

by Johnson's Mill, Sheriff.

-[horn honking on TV]
-[tires squealing]

Go get 'em, Ray.

Yes, sir.

-[siren wails on TV]
-[horn blares]

[siren wailing]

We got to lose him.

-What if...
-What if history repeats itself?

I'm not getting dinged
for another bogus traffic stop.

They're not stopping, Sheriff.

-[man]
Damn it, you stay on 'em, Ray.
-Yes, sir!

[tires squealing]

[glass shattering]

[chuckles]

[siren wails]

[tires squealing]

[siren wailing]

[tires squealing]

[tires squealing]

[tires squealing]

[siren fades]

[chuckles]

[tires squeal]

[panting]

[grunts] Oh...

[tires squealing]

Get on the horn to base, now.

This is Petty Officer Pittman,
SEAL team 12.

We got an emergency
on Johnson's Mill Road.

We need a ambulance out here
immediately.

Officer. Officer,
can you hear me?

[theme music playing]

[man] Having been appointed
to this office

do you solemnly swear
to serve and defend

the Constitution
of the United States

against all enemies
foreign and domestic?

I solemnly swear to protect
and defend the Constitution
of the United States of...

Should've known when my butt
was being served up
in that committee

my job was next on the menu.

Washington politics, sir.

All these years
we've had our battles, Admiral.

I know I've often been a pain
in your neck.

Yes, you have, sir.

[laughs] Well,
it's all history now, Admiral.

Yes, it is, Mr. Secretary.

You're going to have to stop
calling me that, A.J.

[man]
...and faithfully discharge
the duties of the office

which you are about to enter,
so help you God?

I swear.

Congratulations, Mr. Secretary.

Thank you, Your Honor.

-Congratulations.
-Thank you, Mr. President.

[President]
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'd like to introduce to you

our new Secretary of the Navy,

Edward Sheffield.

-[camera shutters clicking]
-[applause]

[camera shutters clicking]

Dennis, thank you, thank you.

Congratulations, Mr. Secretary.

Uh, thank you, Admiral.

Well, I guess
having your accuser

become your boss
is a little odd.

That's one way to put it, sir.

Well, rest assured
however I viewed
my predecessor's judgment,

I hold you and JAG
in the highest esteem.

I'll do my best to, uh,
honor your trust, sir.

Well, if that's the case,
you could start now.

There's a talented
young attorney
that I would like you

to consider
adding to your staff.

You won't be sorry.

[cameras clicking]

They're on the way, Colonel!

[Chegwidden] Colonel, Commander,
have a seat.

I assume, by now,
that you've heard
about this accident.

A SEAL team was conducting
a guerrilla war game
among the civilian population.

They had a run-in
with a local deputy
on a Virginia highway.

Heard about it
on the way in, sir.

Deputy was killed.

It should come as no surprise

that the Navy's taking a beating
on this one.

Local authorities
going to prosecute, sir?

Actually, they're
kicking this one back to us.

That's got to be a first,
Admiral.

Navy's presence in the area
is important
to the local economy

and it just so happens
the state's attorney

is head of the local
chamber of commerce.

Commander, you will prosecute.

Convening authority is referring
charges of disobeying orders

and negligent homicide
against Lieutenant Reynolds,

the SEAL team leader
that led the chase.

Sir, it's my understanding
that the deputy lost control
of his car.

In pursuit of a fugitive
which opens up the lieutenant
to possible culpability.

Colonel, you'll defend.

Commander Turner
will be your second chair.

-Two against one, sir?
-Actually, no.

I'm having Commander Rabb
break in a new partner.

A lieutenant commander...

Tracy Manetti. UVA,
Harvard Law Review,

two years in the public
defender's office in Atlanta.

Comes recommended
by the new SECNAV.

Whew. A Mata Hari in our midst.

Don't worry, Admiral,
I'll keep a close eye on her.

[Chegwidden] As a former SEAL,

I have a special interest
in this case.

Let's make sure
justice is served.
That'll be all.

-Aye, aye, sir.
-Aye, sir.

Oh, by the way, uh...

Lieutenant Roberts
is being released

from Bethesda today going home.

After he settles in,
it might do him some good

to see some friendly faces.

Yes, sir.

Are you sure
you don't have other motives

keeping an eye
on Commander Manetti?

Well, I've always had a thing
for Italian women, Mack.

I remember this girl
in high school, she--

Oh, I don't need to
hear about that.

Good news about Bud, huh?

Looks like he'll be back soon.

He's going to have to fight
to stay in, Mack.

It's not going to be easy.

It was a war game.
Training our people

to infiltrate
an indigenous population
disguised as locals.

In this case, Virginians.

We're testing our men
in unconventional warfare,
Colonel.

That requires staging games
in the local communities
using real-life scenarios.

It's impossible
to replicate that on base.

Hmm. What was the mission?

The team was on the way
to a rendezvous

and Lieutenant Reynolds
was the lead vehicle.

The exercise had just begun.
The lieutenant was on the road
leading from the base

when the deputy tried
to pull him over.

Why didn't he stop?

He thought the deputy
was part of the game.

-Does that happen much?
-No.

Look, we want the police
out of the way.

That's why local law enforcement
authorities are notified
before exercises happen.

-Was notification sent?
-A week ago by fax.

I followed up
by phone that morning.

What's your assessment
of the lieutenant
as a an officer?

He's squared away.
He's aggressive...

an over-achiever--
qualities you want in a SEAL.

You think it's possible
he crossed the line this time?

[inhales]

I support my people, Colonel.

That said,
we have clear Op orders
on these war games.

Running from the police
doesn't fit any scenario I know.

[Roberts] Wow. It's even bigger
than it looked in the photos.

Let's go, sweetie.

-[grunts]
-Let's go show Daddy the house,
okay?

[A.J.] Okay.

[chuckles]
It's going to be really fun
when it comes time to repaint.

It's really close to work
there's plenty of room
for little A. J.

Pleasetell me you like it.

A lot more
than I thought I would.

-[A.J.]
Daddy, come up and see my room.
-Maybe later, okay, buddy?

[Sims]
Maybe you can play in your room
for a little while?

-Okay.
-[Sims] Thank you.

I moved everything you'll need
into the den.

We got a big-screen TV.

[giggles]

Please, tell me
you bought it on sale.

My Dad bought it for us.

You'll love it.

You'll see.

Um, I put a bed in here.

The kitchen's right there.

There's also a bathroom
at the far end of the hall.

And I brought some clothes down

that I thought you
might want from upstairs...

Great.

[Sheriff]
Navy never notified us,
Commander.

Come on in.

You never received a fax?

Doesn't surprise me.

Damn thing's busted
most of the time.

The SEAL commander told us
he also called your office

three hours before the exercise
started at 0700.

He got the machine.
I wasn't here.

My other deputy
had called me out
on a domestic disturbance call.

I came back, by the time
I checked the machine
the whole thing was over.

Do you know
why Deputy Gault tried
to pull the lieutenant over?

I heard Ray on the radio.

Said he was chasing
two Navy boys

out on Johnson's Mill Road.

How fast were they going?

Speed gun clocked them
at 55 in a 45 zone.

You say "two Navy boys."
Did the deputy know
they were SEALs?

Road led out of the base.
It's a safe bet.

Fits the MO, too.

SEAL boys like to push things.

This time, one pushed too far.

[Chegwidden] My yeoman
can show you the rest.

Commander. I'd like you to meet
Lieutenant Commander Manetti.

Oh, Commander...

Commander Manetti.

Commander Rabb,
it is a pleasure, sir.

The admiral was just
singing your praises.

Well, you have an impressive bio
yourself, Commander.

Harvard Law Review.

Just the luck of the Irish.

-It's a little joke, sir.
-[chuckles]

Excuse me. Admiral?
SECNAV's on the line.

I can tell him you're at lunch.

[Chegwidden]
I'll take the call, Tiner.

[Tiner] Yes, sir.

Sorry, sir.

Thank you, again, Admiral.

Where, where you from,
Commander?

Uh, southern Virginia.

Accent give me away?

[chuckles] Yeah, a little.

I know Southerners
are supposed to be polite
but if it's all the same to you

I'd like to get up to speed
on this case.

Well, I applause the initiative.

Why don't you start with these.

They ought to bring you up
to speed.

Aye, aye, sir.

[MacKenzie] Why didn't you stop,
Lieutenant?

[Reynolds] I was intent
on getting my team

to the rendezvous point on time,
ma'am.

But you were
in a police pursuit.

I thought they were part
of the exercise, ma'am.

You were aware of the Op orders.

Local authorities
weren't supposed

-to be part of the game.
-In these exercises,

they throw all different
kinds of things at us, ma'am.

Last month,
it was a fender bender.

An EMS guy held us up
while they loaded an ambulance.

We got to our rendezvous point
half-an-hour late.

It turns out
the entire thing was staged.

My team got dinged

because we didn't find
a creative solution
to the problem.

Well, you certainly
got more creative this time.

Sheriff said you were
speeding 55 in a 45 zone,
Lieutenant.

I don't see the humor,
Lieutenant.

You don't know the police
in that town, Commander.

Are you saying they're lying?

The good ol' boys
with the tin badges

have a way
of adding miles per hour.

Still no excuse for leading them
on a dangerous high-speed chase.

I am trained in handling speed,
ma'am.

I regret the fact
that the deputy did not possess
the same level of skill

and training.

If he had,
I wouldn't be sitting here.

I should warn you,
displays of arrogance

won't win you any friends
in court.

I am sorry that you perceive me
as arrogant.

I call it confidence.

Confident that you're better
than everyone else.

Because I made myself that way,
ma'am.

I almost didn't make the SEALs.

I was a D-back in college
and my knees took a beating.

10K runs damn near killed me.

Got so that every step
was like a knife.

But I realized
I had to make a choice.

I could either ring that bell
and quit

or I could suck it up.

So, I toughed it out.

And what's more,
I made myself a leader.

In this case,
led poorly, Lieutenant.

I regret what happened.

Truly.

But at the time,
I thought that what I was doing
was the best thing for my team.

As defense counsel,
that's a tough sell.

You do realize that?

I have assessed the situation,
ma'am.

But I'm a SEAL.

And that's all
that I've ever wanted to be.

I made a mistake,
a tragic mistake.

But I just hope
that there's a way
I can stay a SEAL.

[Manetti] Commander Rabb.
Just finished these case files.

I'm feeling very confident
about this case.

Oh, glad to hear it, Commander.

I do have a question
about the charges.

-Sir.
-Negligent homicide too heavy
for you?

Too light, sir.

Based on the evidence
Lieutenant Reynolds
crossed the line

into reckless endangerment

with foreseeable
and lethal consequences.

Going for the home run, huh?

Well, like my daddy says,
"Why throw a curve

when you can bring on the heat?"

Your daddy
was a baseball player?

Tobacco farmer, sir,
here in Virginia.

Like my granddaddy
and his daddy before him.

Well, I see you didn't go
into the family business.

Uh, no. Got three brothers,
Commander.

All lawyers. Of course,

I'm the only one that's not
suing the tobacco companies

so I still get a smile
when I walk
through the front door.

Well, I'll give your suggestion
some consideration, Commander.

Thank you, sir.

-Colonel.
-Commander.

How's Manetti doing?

She's enthusiastic.

You know, I don't get it.

Manetti, that's Italian,
isn't it?

Uh, she probably got divorced
and kept the name.

Or it's more misinformation,
part of the spy package.

Are you sure you're not jumping
to a conclusion?

All I see is a female officer
doing her job.

You're not going to start
singing that old song again,
are you, Mac?

I'm just saying,
if the commander were a guy

she'd be part
of the SECNAV's boys club,
not Mata Hari.

You're not going to give it up,
are you?

Well, a woman with connections

can't be powerful,
well-positioned.

She, she has to be a spy,
have an agenda.

Well, it's odd
you should mention that

because the commander was just
discussing her agenda with me.

Really? What?

She wants to raise the stakes
to involuntary manslaughter.

What?

Th-That's
dishonorable discharge, Harm.

Ten years confinement.

Well, charge fits the crime,
Mac.

After all, she is
just a female officer
doing her job.

I'm going to win on character.

Good luck.

[single note plays]

Harriet?

Yeah?

When did we get a piano?

My mom thought lessons might be
nice for little A.J.

So they bought us a piano.

Well, we talked
about introducing him to music.

They loaned us the money
to buy this house.

Now they're going to furnish it
for us?

Bud, it's just a piano.

How much did it cost, Harriet?

[doorbell ringing]

I'll get it.

[door opening]

Admiral.

Tiner. Hi.

Come in.

Thought we'd come by,
see how everything was going.

Hope we're not imposing.

-No, sir. Hello.
-Hello.

Hey, Lieutenant.
Brought you some DVDs, sir.

Directors' editions
of the first two
Star Trekmovies.

Came
with a communicator key chain.

Cool. Thanks, Tiner.

You're welcome, sir.

Oh, uh, Commander Turner
sent his copy

of Silent Triumphto you.

[chuckles] 750 pages.

Mm-hmm. I think the Merlot
should get you
through the first hundred.

-[chuckling]
-That is really nice of you,
Admiral.

[Sims chuckling]

[Tiner] Great house, Lieutenant.

It's not the old place

but it'll do.

How about the dime tour?

[Roberts] You got it, sir.

I've been, uh,
bunking in the den here

so I haven't actually
been upstairs

but Harriet assures me
there's a master bedroom
up there.

Take a look.

I think we'll wait
until you can show us
the upstairs yourself.

Okay, sir.

The kitchen is this way.

Sheriff, you are the head
of the Somerville
police department, correct?

[Sheriff] Such as it is.

Just two men now,
three old police cruisers,

two working radios.

My junior deputy's wife
bought him a cell phone.
He's our high-tech boy.

Your statement, Sheriff,
indicates you were unaware

of the Naval exercises
being conducted that morning.

Me and my deputies
were in the dark.

Our fax machine's pretty hinky
most times.

[Rabb] And the phone call
from the Navy?

[Sheriff]
Missed it that morning.

Deputy Burr gave me a shout
needed help with a domestic
disturbance call.

Uh, I left the station,
machine took it.

We don't have anyone on duty
answering phones.

[Rabb]
But you do have a working radio

and you received a dispatch
from Deputy Gault, correct?

He was in pursuit
of two white males in a car,

out-of-state plates.

They were speeding.

How fast were they going,
Sheriff?

Fifty-five in a 45 zone.

Speeds well in excess of that
during the pursuit.

And the deputy was unaware
he was pursuing Navy SEALs

involved
in an official exercise,
correct?

Just a normal traffic stop.

Of course, turned out not to be.

Thank you, Sheriff.

Commander, you are the officer
who organized this exercise,

-correct?
-That's correct, Commander.

Now, when you conduct
an exercise of this nature

you notify
local law enforcement?

We send a fax we make a call
the morning of the mission.

And if the local police fail
to receive notification?

There are written Op orders.

In the event
that they cross paths

with civilian authorities
the SEALs are to obey

and if need be,
identify themselves

and their activity.

So, then,
when Lieutenant Reynolds
evaded the police cruiser,

he was disobeying regulations?

Unfortunately, yes.

Thank you, Commander.
That'll be all.

Commander, are you familiar
with an exercise last month

where a traffic accident
was staged

to prevent
Lieutenant Reynold's team
from reaching their objective?

Objection, Your Honor.
Lieutenant Reynolds is on trial
here, not the exercise.

I'm merely trying
to supply context

-for my client's actions.
-I'll allow it.

[man] Yes, I'm familiar
with the staged accident,
Colonel.

A petty officer posed
as an EMS worker.

Wouldn't you interpret that
as a civilian authority?

In the broad sense.

The lieutenant was held up
for half-an-hour.

Lieutenant Reynolds
was dressed down
for arriving late

to his rendezvous,
isn't that right?

It was a challenge he failed.

[MacKenzie]
Isn't it understandable
the lieutenant might interpret

a seemingly
unwarranted traffic stop

as yet another staged challenge?

I can see where he might arrive
at that conclusion, Colonel.

Thank you, Commander.

Ms. Cavanaugh.

Relax, Jason,
I can show myself in.

Yes, ma'am.

A.J., I know you're busy.

But I just wanted to bring you
a little morning pick-you-up.

Well,
that's a pleasant surprise.

Tiner.

-I thought you might like
-[door closes]

my grandmother's
cinnamon breakfast loaf.

Ah. [sniffs]

Ah, smells delicious.

Is that, um, is that vanilla?

No. [sniffs]

Oh. Uh, I must've put it
in the bag

-next to
my vanilla votive candles.
-Oh.

Listen, A.J., about Saturday.

I brought brochures.

Now, we can go horseback riding

sea kayaking, or hang gliding.

I say we do all three.

I was, uh, thinking of
something a little quieter.

See A Midsummer Night's Dream
in town

and maybe an intimate dinner
afterwards.

An intimate dinner sounds nice.

But, A.J, I teach Shakespeare
all week long

to heavy-lidded college kids.

By the weekend,
I need some action.

You think Commander Rabb
could be talked
into those flying lessons?

I'll talk to him.

Great.

We'll do this stuff
next weekend.

Ciao.

Bye.

-[door opens]
-[sighs]

Huh.

[thudding]

[Rabb] First of all, thank you,
Miss Kendrick, for coming in.

I know that this is difficult
for you.

I need you to paint a picture

of your fiancé for the court.

Ray was a good man, Commander.

He was going
to be a good husband.

And he was a fine
police officer.

[Rabb] His record showed him
to be a brave man.

One who didn't shy away
from trouble.

He was good at his job.

Where most people could get
hotheaded,

he just stayed cool.

Do you ever know Ray

to act negligently
or irresponsibly?

No. Never. Ask anyone.

Thank you.

Your witness.

Miss Kendrick,
I appreciate your being here.

Sorry for your loss.

You describe your fiancé
as a man

-who kept his emotions in check.
-That's right, Colonel.

Did he ever talk to you
about his experiences
serving in the Navy?

Objection. Relevance.

The government's
raised the issue

of the deceased's
emotional state of mind,
Your Honor.

I'm only
continuing the discussion.

I'll allow it.

You may answer the question,
Miss Kendrick.

I know Ray went into the Navy
for two years after high school.

And did you know
he tried to become a SEAL?

-Yes.
-And he didn't make it.

He rang the bell,
isn't that correct?

That's right, Colonel.

Did he talk about what happened?

He said he couldn't take it.

The exhaustion

going days with almost no sleep

swimming miles
in the freezing ocean.

Shivering on the beach
until he almost passed out.

So, he quit?

It's understandable, Colonel.

Just as
it would be understandable if,
after an experience like that

the deputy might have
hated SEALs,

resented them. Maybe even had
something to prove

when he raced
after Lieutenant Reynolds
that morning.

Ray hated
washing out of the SEALs.

But he loved his time
in the Navy.

And he still loved the SEALs.

He respected them, Colonel.

I have no further questions.

[TV reporter]
As the court-martial
of Lieutenant Brad Reynolds

stretches into a second week

protesters gathered
at this vigil today

in Somerville, Virginia,
for Deputy Sheriff Ray Gault

the local lawman
killed in a high-speed chase

with Navy SEALs.
Todays protest...

We can answer
all those people's prayers
right now, Harm.

My offer's still on the table.

May it rest in peace.

I'm still going to win
on character.

Mac, if you go to character,
it is really over.

I see your new colleague's
putting in the hours.

She's motivated, Mac.
Her father's a farmer,

raises tobacco right here
in Virginia.

I heard he was a big contributor
to the new SECNAV's
last Senate campaign.

Really?

So daddy got her the job.

[MacKenzie] I guess so.

I thought Sheffield
was anti-tobacco
when he was Senator.

Well, you know,
when facing fall elections

principles go out of season
quickly.

Do I detect
an anti-Manetti tone?

Well, I'll admit, Mac.
I am having a problem
with the commander.

-Yeah, what is it?
-I'm finding it difficult
to dislike her.

Oh, I can help you with that.

What happened
to female solidarity?

Went out the window
when she decided
my client was a killer.

Petty Officer Pittman,

you've served
with Lieutenant Reynolds.

Is he a good leader?

Oh, yes, ma'am.

I found that there are
two kinds of officers:

When you're dying
at the end of a five-mile hike
uphill with a 50-pound pack

there are those
that'll scream at you
from the top

and those that'll run down,
alongside you

yank you up, if need be.

The lieutenant leads by example,
ma'am.

Do you believe on the morning
in question

that he was acting
like a good leader?

[man] He thought
he was doing the right thing.

And that's good enough for me,
ma'am.

Thank you, Petty Officer.

Did you think it was right,
Petty Officer?
Running from the police?

Well, we couldn't be sure
they weren't part
of the exercise, ma'am.

Ah.

Did youthink they were
part of the exercise?

No, ma'am, I didn't.

Thank you,
Petty Officer Pittman.

Deputy Burr,
Deputy Gault was camped out
on Johnson's Mill Road

that morning, correct?

That's right.

Now,
other than Naval base traffic

there's not much activity
on that road, right?

It's slow most times.

Two males, in a sedan,
out-of-state plates

on Johnson's Mill Road.

It's a safe assumption
they were Navy personnel,
SEALs, isn't it?

SEALs, yes.

SEALs on exercise, no.

Uh, Deputy Gault
clocked the lieutenant's car

going ten miles
over the speed limit,
is that correct?

[man] Yeah, that's right.

[Turner] This is the radar gun

that was recovered
from Deputy Gault's car,
undamaged.

Can I assume
this is the radar gun
that he used?

We only got one. That's it.

-[Turner]
Have you used this radar gun?
-[man] I sure have.

Would you show me
how it works, please.

Go ahead, point it at, uh...

point it at Commander Rabb.

Take a reading.

[beeping]

What does the gun say?

It says ten miles per hour.

Didn't realize
the commander moved that quick.

We had a lab check
your department's radar gun.

Did you know
that the calibration was off
by ten miles per hour?

-No, I didn't.
-That would mean
that Lieutenant Reynolds

was driving at the speed limit
that morning, wouldn't it?

[man]
If the gun was off that day,
yeah.

Sheriff said
your fax machine was hinky.

Guess your radar gun's
kind of hinky, too

wouldn't you say?

I can understand
how the deputy thought
the lieutenant was speeding

but if he was driving
at the speed limit,

can't you understand

how the lieutenant
might have thought

the deputy was chasing him
for another reason?

Like maybe he was a part
of the exercise?

Objection,
calls for speculation.

Withdrawn.

[Chegwidden] Commander...

have a second?

Yes, sir.

Um, walk with me.

-I need to ask a little favor.
-Name it, sir.

Um, remember when,
uh, Meredith, uh...

Remember when Meredith mentioned
she was interested
in taking flying lessons?

Oh, no. Please, sir...

Commander, I completely
understand your reluctance

but, uh,
my back is against a wall here.

She's been dreaming up
these weekend plans

and hell,
this is the safest one.

Safe for who, sir?

[sighs]

Look, all I'm suggesting
is that...

This may sound mean,
but just take her up,

get her sick,
cure her of this flying bug.

Is this an order, sir?

Of course not, Commander.

I'll, um, I'll come up
with another idea.

When, sir?

1500, Saturday?

-All right, I'll gas up Sarah.
-Sarah?

I didn't know
you named your Stearman
after Colonel MacKenzie.

It's after my grandmother,
Admiral, sir.

Oh, right.

I owe you one, Commander.

[Coates] It can't be easy, sir.

[Roberts]
Harriet's being great.

Except when she's babying me.

-Sometimes I feel
like a little kid.
-She loves you, sir.

She just wants
to take care of you.

[Roberts] I guess you're right.

How are you
surviving Lieutenant Singer?

[Coates] It's not me
you should worry about, sir.

She spent three days

trying to find the Starbucks
on the ship

before someone finally told her
it doesn't exist.

[Roberts]
I only looked for an hour.

[Coates]
And she gets seasick everyday.

[Roberts] I don't believe it.

I'm actually feeling sorry
for Singer.

[Coates] Pretty scary, sir.

[Roberts] That she is.

Take care of yourself, Jen.

[Coates] You too, sir.

[Reynolds] I thought
that the police were a part
of the exercise, ma'am.

I made a split-second decision.

Did you think the police cruiser
would chase you?

Not like that, no.

I took it
as another staged event.

Like the phony accident
last month.

When the police cruiser
continued its pursuit
at high speed,

why didn't you stop then?

Ma'am, at that speed,

with the deputy on top of me
it wasn't safe.

I had been trained
in evasive maneuvers

and I was concerned
for the safety of myself

and that
of Petty Officer Pittman.

You refer to your SEAL training,
Lieutenant.

Do you believe
what you did that morning

was in keeping
with that training?

Yes, I do believe
that my actions that day
were in keeping

with what I have been trained
to do.

Still...

I deeply regret what happened.

Thank you, Lieutenant.

Lieutenant...

-Commander.
-May I have a moment,
Your Honor?

I wondered
if you were going to make it.

I'm sorry, sir.

[Rabb]
Lieutenant, are you familiar

with the Op orders
governing this exercise?

As they exist on paper,
yes, sir.

"In the event of an encounter
with law enforcement
authorities,

you are to identify yourself
and your activity
and offer no resistance."

-That's pretty clear, isn't it?
-Yes, sir.

Yet you chose
to disobey these orders,
Lieutenant.

I had cause to believe that
that traffic stop was bogus,
sir.

Your Honor,
new information has just come
to the government's attention.

Objection,
we haven't seen this before,
Your Honor.

[Rabb]
It has just come to light,
Your Honor.

And it goes to past acts.

I'll allow it. Go on, Commander.

You familiar
with the Red Lion Tavern
in Somerville, Lieutenant?

I've been there, yes, sir.

I have an arrest report
from ten days
prior to the incident

in which a SEAL Petty Officer
Francis Garvey was arrested
for assaulting an officer

during a barroom brawl.

Your name's mentioned.

You remember the incident?

I would not call it a brawl,
sir.

What would you call it,
Lieutenant?

An altercation, sir.

I was on liberty
with some of the guys,
having beers.

Petty Officer Garvey
saw Deputy Gault
sitting with Deputy Burr.

He went over to them
to have a discussion.

What did they discuss,
Lieutenant?

Speeding tickets, sir.

He told the deputies
that he felt it was out of line
for them

to be targeting SEALs.

Deputy Gault got in his face.
Petty Officer pushed him,

he fell back, but there were
no punches thrown, sir.

-Were any other SEALs arrested?
-No, sir.

I interceded.
I was the ranking officer
in the room at the time.

How did you intercede,
Lieutenant?

I stepped between the deputies
and the SEALs.

Is that all?

[]man I told the deputies

that if they were to continue
to harass the SEALs

that they would be sorry.

You threatened police officers.

You challenged them to a fight,
is that it?

[,am]
That was not my intent, sir, no.

Just like it wasn't your intent
to engage the deputy

in a high-speed chase
which lead to his death?

Objection, counsel's providing
his own testimony, Your Honor.

Withdrawn.

-Thank you, Lieutenant.
-I have no further questions,
Your Honor.

You, uh, want to try a redirect?

Damage control?

How do you patch the Titanic?

[SECNAV]
Budget hearings start soon

and I have every intention
of getting more

than our fair share.

Good to hear, Mr. Secretary.

Uh, how's Manetti working out?

She seems to know
what she's doing.

I told you. She's an ace.

Hey, here she is. Tracy, hi.

Mr. Secretary. Admiral.

How are they treating you?

Fine, sir. Thank you for asking.

I've known her
since she was this high

-and she was formidable
even then.
-[chuckling]

-How does lunch sound,
next week?
-Have to ask the Admiral.

Uh, no.
He can spare you for an hour.

Good seeing you, Admiral.

Yes, sir.

Admiral, if I may?

I'd like ,to say for the record,
sir,

that whatever agenda
the secretary's pursuing,

my dad is his longtime
campaign donor, not me.

I'm grateful for the opportunity

but I don't expect
any special treatment.

Well, Commander,
you won't be disappointed.

Carry on.

Thank you, sir.

[MacKenzie] Why didn't you
tell us about the run-in
at the bar, Lieutenant?

It was just guys being guys,
ma'am.

It doesn't look like that now.

No, it looks like you had a beef
with a deputy sheriff

whom you then sent
crashing to his death.

We didn't have a beef, ma'am.

Nothing would have even happened
that night

if the sheriff hadn't showed up
and started stirring things up.

The sheriff was involved?

He was the instigator, sir.

Petty Officer Garvey
and Deputy Gault were arguing.

Just words, it ended,
Deputy Gault backed off.

-That's when the sheriff started
goading him on.
-What did he do?

He shamed him
in front of everyone.

He told all the SEALS
how the deputy rang the bell

and washed out of the program.

He then called the deputy
a coward.

And that's why the deputy
got in the petty officer's face?

Yes, ma'am. That's
what started the shoving match.

Let's pay the sheriff
another visit tomorrow.

Yeah.

-[alien weapons firing]
-[buildings exploding]

[doorbell rings]

[mutes sound]

I got it, sweetie.

-Commander, hi.
-[Rabb] Hey.

-[Sims] How are you?
-[Rabb] I'm good.

-Come in.
-Nice to see you.

-Thank you.
-Nice to see you.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Bud, how you feeling?

Great! Great to see you, sir.

Wow, look at that TV.

Man, if you had surround sound
you could charge admission.

I, I--it does
have surround sound, sir.

[chuckling] Whoa.

Nice. Hey, listen,
I didn't know what you needed

so, I got you something
you didn't need.

-Uh, hope you like it.
-[laughs]

A virtual tour
of the starship Enterprise!

You know,
Tiner brought around some DVDs.

I could probably
start my own convention.

-[doorbell ringing]
-You know what?

It had some, some cool features
on the back.

-Colonel, hi.
-Hi.

-Come in.
-How are you?

-Good.
-Good to see you.

-You, too.
-Hey.

-Hi. How you doing, Bud?
-Hi. Good, Colonel.

I thought since you
and little A.J. were spending
some time together...

Oh, that's great!

Thank you! Wow.

Sweetie, why don't you sit down?

Colonel, Commander,
I was about to make lunch.

-Would you like to stay?
-Let's order Chinese.

They deliver.

Okay. I'll make the call.

No, no, no, I-I'll call.

Okay. You guys,
uh, can take a self-tour

and, uh,
we'll catch up in a minute.

-Okay?
-Okay.

Guess everyone's struggling
to deal.

Yeah.

So, you got plans this weekend?

No,
I've got a courtroom disaster
to recover from.

You?

Actually, uh, [rueful chuckle]

I have a potential disaster
of my own brewing.

[Cavanaugh whooping]

Commander, this is outstanding!

[laughing]

Ooh!

Whoo-hoo!

All right, Meredith,
it's your turn.

Take the stick
and gently ease it forward.

Oh, this is positively ethereal!

[Rabb] All right, now, Meredith.

Meredith,
let me have the stick back.

Meredith, let go of the stick!

Meredith!

Let me have the stick!

Oh!

Hey, I wonder
if I could see A.J.

Meredith, look out,
you're standing on the rudder!

There's a tall man standing over
by the hangar.

Do you think that's A.J.?

Meredith, get off the rudder!

Oh, sorry.

You know, I think
I'm getting the hang of this,
Commander.

Do you think
I'm ready to solo the next one?

I think it's time
for ground school.

Oh. You mean we're going down?

Landing, yes.

Well, do you need any help,
Commander?

No. No, no.

No.

[chuckling] Good.

[Cavanaugh] Whoo-hoo!

Oh, A.J.

that was so exhilarating!

Can't wait to do it again.

[Sheriff]
Thought we'd been through this.

I didn't get the fax, Colonel.

You mind
if we check the machine?

Help yourself.

This is Lieutenant
Colonel MacKenzie,

JAG. I need the number
for the fax machine

used to send out
SEAL notifications of exercises.

Thank you.

[beeping]

-What's going on?
-[beeping]

Your fax received log
shows a call from the SEAL base

was received one week
before Deputy Gault was killed.

Told you, Colonel.
Didn't get it.

[phone ringing]

[clearing throat] Hello.

Yeah. Now's not a good time,
honey. Let me call you back.

Sorry about that.

[Turner] Colonel?

I think we're done here.

Thank you, Sheriff.

Y'all come back, ya hear?

[MacKenzie]
Tiner, thanks for giving up
your Saturday night.

No problem, ma'am.
Got the deputy's
cell phone records.

On a weekend?

You didn't break any laws,
did you, Tiner?

Gunny left me a list
of his contacts, sir.

Hard to break the law
when you're talking to it.

There it is.

The deputy's call to the sheriff

the morning
the Navy sent notification.

A domestic disturbance.

Actually, he made two calls
to the sheriff.

Look at the times.

Good work, Tiner.

Thank you, ma'am.

Sheriff, in your statement
you said
you received a cell phone call

from Deputy Burr on the morning
of the accident, correct?

That's right. He needed help
with a domestic disturbance.

What time did that call come in?

A little before 7:00, I think.

6:58. We checked the records.

Actually, he made a second call,
didn't he?

Yeah. I forgot.
He'd scribbled down the address.

Left it back at the diner.

He needed to go get it.

He called back
five minutes later, at 7:03.

Sounds about right.

-And you were in the office
then?
-Yes, Colonel.

Hmm. With the calls on that line
do you pick them up

or screen them
and let the machine pick up?

Depends on the situation.

Like, whether it's a call
from the Navy

notifying you
of a SEAL exercise?

[ whispering]
Should we object, sir?

According to their records

the Navy called at exactly 0700.

You were there.
You heard the message,
isn't that right?

Not only you were notified,

you knew exactly
when the SEALS were going to be
on Johnson's Mill Road.

Why else would you
have Deputy Gault
staked out there?

According to your own statement

you were in radio contact
with Deputy Gault.

I responded to the call, yeah.

You told him
to pursue the Lieutenant

even though you knew
the SEALS were on an exercise

and you were supposed to stay
on the sidelines, right?

You're the one
who instigated the confrontation

aren't you, Sheriff,
that night at the bar

and again that morning
when you ordered your deputy

to pull over the SEALs?

They were speeding.

Broke the law.

No, Sheriff, you broke the law

when you lied under oath
about the notification.

And you broke the public trust
when you sent your deputy

on a reckless and fatal chase.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

The government has no questions
for this witness, Your Honor.

Very well.

I'm sure the state's attorney
will have plenty.

This court is adjourned.

[gavel pounds]

[MacKenzie] The government's
agreed to a deal.

You plead to negligent homicide.

Given the mitigating
circumstances
there'll be no confinement

but you'll take a reduction
in pay rate.

There's no guarantee
you'll return to duty as a SEAL,
Lieutenant

but, uh, the Colonel
and I will do everything we can

during the Navy's
administrative review.

Thank you for everything
that you've already done,

Colonel, Commander.

[MacKenzie] You're welcome.

[Turner] Glad to do it.

But I'm not sure
that I can go back.

I've been thinking
about Deputy Gault

that I'm responsible
for his death.

Deputy rang the bell,
washed out of the SEALs

because he couldn't hack it.

My training holds me
to a high standard.

One I don't think that I've met.

I think I rang the bell
on myself that morning
when I led that chase.

Are you sure about that,
Lieutenant?

I'm sure about one thing, ma'am.

I still want
to serve my country.

I want to stay in the Navy.

I'm just not sure
that I'm still worthy
to be a SEAL.

Colonel, Commander.

Did he take the deal?

On his own terms.

The lieutenant's
taking responsibility
for what happened.

He's volunteered
to take a career hit.

Sounds like a SEAL.

Yes, it does.
