Are you crazy? I could have killed you. What are you doing? I need to talk to

you. Were you following me?

I can't believe this. We have nothing to talk about. Two minutes.

I know that you think that I betrayed you by copying that file in your

apartment, and maybe I did.

But I was doing my job.

And I don't trust you.

Look, we've been through this before. The point is... And the point is that I

love you.

And I'm not going to let you go without a fight.

Dalton, it's over.

Not for me.

Stop following me.

Mac!

Following in his father's footsteps as a naval aviator, Lieutenant Commander

Harmon Rabb, Jr. suffered a crash while landing his Tomcat on a storm -tossed

carrier at sea.

Diagnosed with night blindness, Harm transferred to the Navy's Judge Advocate

General Corps, which investigates, defends, and prosecutes the law of the

There, with fellow JAG lawyer Major Sarah McKenzie, he now fights in and out

the courtroom with the same daring and tenacity that made him a top gun in the

air.

I had a stalker once, ma 'am, in college.

After the first date, this guy decides we're soulmates, right?

So he keeps following me and calling me all the time. So how'd you get rid of

him? I started dating a 200 -pound fullback.

I don't know any fullbacks, and besides, Dalton's not stalking me.

Yeah, still, it's a little creepy. Just be careful, ma 'am.

Careful of what?

Nothing.

Let's go, bud. Meeting's started.

Oh, sir, I thought you might like to see this.

Way to go, bud. Haste is law of finals. Excellent. Great. Congratulations.

Thank you, ma 'am. Sir?

Seaman Ray Costanza allegedly sold counterfeit watches to his shipmates.

Bolex. When the XO caught him, he tried to eat the evidence.

Tried to eat a watch?

That watch, sir.

Next. We're defending Chief Petty Officer Anthony Favalas on assault and

battery, sir. Trials next week.

The trial necessary.

Victim claims Chief Beater. He says he didn't. Isn't the victim a prostitute?

That doesn't make it okay to use her as a punching bag.

I didn't say that it did.

I take it you don't believe in your client's innocence, Major.

Sir, Chief Petty Officer Savalas is a liar and a bully.

Whom we will defend zealously, sir.

Yes, sir.

Zealously. Good.

Mr. Roberts, I hear you scored top grades on your law school finals. Well

Thank you, sir.

Hard work pays off.

I'm assigning you extra legal responsibility.

Jagman investigations, maybe even trial counsel for special court marshals.

Me, sir?

Manor Rabbit and Major McKenzie think you're ready, I agree.

You'll train Ensign Sims to take over some of your administrative duties.

Is that a problem?

Oh, no, sir. No, sir.

Good.

Excuse me, Admiral, but you're due at Dallas in one hour, sir. Right.

Oh, I'm having a little gathering at my home Thursday evening.

Nothing fancy or formal.

Light buffet, cocktails, whatever.

We're all invited.

Uniform of the day, sir?

Informal civilian attire.

Dismissed.

Has the Admiral ever thrown a party before?

Not to my knowledge. Not to anyone's knowledge.

As you were, Chief.

Thank you, sir.

Ma 'am.

Court -martial starts Monday.

Well, I'm not too worried.

Not with you two working on my case.

I want to thank you for keeping me out of the brig.

Well, you're not considered a flight risk.

We want to go over the facts of the case again to make sure we haven't missed

anything. Yes, ma 'am.

You admit to paying Alicia Morris for sex.

Roger that, sir.

She's a hooker. I used her services.

Excuse me, ma 'am.

It's a little late for delicacy at this point, Chief Savalas.

You mean you had sex with her?

Yes, ma 'am.

I admit that, unless I shouldn't admit that, sir.

We want the whole truth.

The whole truth?

No, ma 'am, I don't think you want the whole truth.

Just... Jay, if you're looking at six months hard labor and a bad conduct

discharge, if I were you, I would wipe that smirk off my face, kill the joke,

and stick to the facts.

Sorry, sir.

I meant no disrespect.

But if going with a prostitute's a crime, then half the sailors I know

behind bars.

Oh, it's a crime, Chief.

But the one you're charged with is assault and battery.

I didn't hit her, sir.

Maybe it was her pimp who beat her up. She pulled you out of a lineup.

It's her word against mine. Why would she lie?

She's a whore, sir.

That doesn't make her a liar.

I respect women, Major.

I don't hit them.

Look, why don't you let me handle Savalas from now on? You have a problem

the way I'm handling the case?

No, you're handling it great for a prosecutor.

We both know he's guilty.

No, we don't know that, Mac. Look, I realize how you feel about abusive men,

I understand, but... You don't have to worry about me.

I'm not worried about you. It's Savalas I'm worried about. Sarah?

I'm not following you. I have this in here.

Don't let me keep you from it. What are you afraid of?

Let go of me.

Is there a problem here? Nothing that concerns you, Mac. You all right? She's

fine.

For once, admit that you have real feelings.

You can't run away your whole life, Sarah.

Let her go.

This is none of your business. Let her go.

Your photographs don't do you justice. You are beautiful.

No, Papa, I'm just average.

But you, you get that a lot here.

So how long are you going to be here in Washington?

A day or two.

I must be in New York for the Prado opening.

That is why the magazine sent me here.

So you are going to be here Thursday night?

Yes. Why, what is Thursday?

I planned a little party. I want to introduce you to some people.

Well, you're not afraid to be alone with me now, are you, Papa?

No, of course not.

No, I just... I want to show off my daughter.

I would love to come to your party.

So, tell me about all the beautiful women in your life.

As soon as possible.

Sarah, I know you're there.

Can you pick up?

Okay. So that's it. One transgression and it's over.

You know, even God forgives more than that.

I'm just going to keep calling until you answer.

I don't care if it takes all night. This has to stop now.

I know.

And it will.

Just hear me out one last time and... Then I'll walk away.

One last time.

McMurphy?

In an hour?

Yeah, fine, adult.

This is the last time.

How are you?

What'll it be this evening?

I'll have a tonic water with a bit of lime, please. Coming right up.

Keys. What? Keys.

Okay.

Wallet. Hurry. All right, take it easy, dude.

We don't have a problem here. The watch.

It's, uh, self -winding.

What was that?

That was a backfire.

That was no backfire.

Oh, my God.

Dalton.

Dalton, can you hear me?

Yeah.

You were shot. Hang in there, okay?

You're going to be all right.

Somebody call 911.

I'll make the call.

Did he say anything to you before he died?

No, nothing.

Major, witnesses say he talked to you.

Well, if you know the answer to the question, Koster, why ask it?

Rad.

Are you okay? I got here as fast as I could.

It's all in his bed.

I know you.

What happened, detective?

It looks like a carjack and a robbery got sour.

What did Lounder do?

We don't know. There are no witnesses.

Major McKenzie was the last to see him.

She was about to tell me what he said.

It was personal.

Maybe you feel more comfortable talking down at the station house.

Listen, she's in no condition to be interrogated right now. You're on my

now, Rad.

Harm, it's all right.

All right, I'll go with you. I don't think so.

I'm her attorney. I go where she doesn't go.

How's that Vietnam vet do it, Ram?

What's his name?

Roscoe. He's still on the site board. Look, if you have some questions, ask

I'd like to get the manager home.

Ma 'am, what did Mr. Lowndes say to you before he died?

I told you it was personal.

There you go. She has no information pertinent to the case. I'll decide that.

What was I doing there tonight?

Meeting me.

Was this a regular thing?

We were seeing each other. I broke it off. We were going to talk one last

Guy loses a beautiful woman.

He can't let go. He becomes obsessed, even violent.

Was Mr. Lown obsessed with you?

Now, there was no way for her to know what the victim was thinking.

We're not in court. Lighten up, counselor.

He... He followed me. He left messages on my machine.

Who else knew you were meeting him?

No one.

This just came in.

Lown's vehicle was found a block and a half from the scene. There was a gun in

the car.

We're running through firearms.

The killer panicked.

Maybe the robbery was a phony. Maybe somebody set out to kill her.

Who? I don't know yet.

But I'll tell you what. Whoever it was might have done Mac a favor.

Here.

No,

no, come in, come in.

Would you like some breakfast?

No, I do not eat breakfast.

Breakfast is the most important meal.

By the day, would you like some coffee?

No, thank you.

This is a very nice office.

But I don't see very much of you in it.

Well, this is where I work. I try to keep my personal life separate.

I am your personal life.

Perhaps I should not be here.

No, no, no.

In fact, I wish you could stay longer.

It is impossible.

Well, surely the fashion world could survive without you for a couple of

know the world of couture is silly to you, but it's important to me. It's my

work. I, um... I didn't mean it like that. I just meant that I would

like to spend more time with my daughter.

I am not a little girl anymore, Papa.

No, you're not.

Are you all right?

You should watch where you're going.

I should watch where I'm going. You hit me. Excuse me, no. I believe it was you

who hit me.

Lady,

I'm going to need an insurance card.

Insurance card? What insurance card?

Beautiful.

All right, look.

Your name and address.

I do not give my address to strangers on the street.

I'm Lieutenant Commander Harmon Rabb. I work here at JAG.

So you now give me your name and address.

I told you. I do not give my name to men I do not know. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

You can't just drive away.

Why not?

Well... I understand.

Here.

Ten thousand nira for the repair of your car.

The matter is closed.

Like six dollars.

Besides, I don't want your money.

What do you want then?

Well, I think that we should discuss this.

Perhaps we should another time.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, how am I supposed to get a hold of you?

I will find you, Hanlon Robb.

I know where you work.

Bud. Good morning, sir.

You didn't happen to see a woman here this morning, did you? Civilian,

good -looking?

Enough, sir. I wish I had. I've been in the file room with Ensign Sims all

morning. Excuse me, Lieutenant.

Here are the weekly court docs you requested.

Thank you, Ensign. If you give me a minute, I'll show you how to file

reports. Very well, sir.

Would you guys make up already? I get frostbites standing near you.

I'm sorry, sir. It's just that she's not the woman I thought she was.

They never are, but that's what makes them interesting.

Yes, sir.

Good morning.

Mac.

What are you doing here?

I'm coming to work.

Take a couple of days off.

No, I'm fine.

Mrs. Mars is the government's only witness, so we will attack her

And then we'll move for dismissal on the grounds they didn't prove their case.

That sounds fine to me, sir. Now, if we don't get a dismissal, Chief, we're

going to put you on the stand.

To show you're a good guy.

I am a good guy, Major.

Once you get to know me.

Is that fixation you're wearing, ma 'am?

Keep on track, Chief.

Yes, sir.

Tomorrow we're going to rehearse your testimony.

Will you tell me what to say, sir? I'll say it.

We can't tell you what to say, Chief. We can guide you.

I'm in your hands.

You know, I'll be glad when this whole thing's over with, sir.

I don't know what all the fuss is about anyway. Some guy tunes up a whore a

little bit.

So what?

You're dismissed, Chief.

Aye, aye, sir.

Ma 'am.

Tell me again why we're defending that scum. Because the Constitution says he's

entitled. Well, this time the Constitution is wrong.

This isn't about Savalas. No, what's it about?

You haven't given yourself time to grieve, Mac.

Hell, I never had much use for Lown, but even I took the time to reflect that

he's dead.

Remind me not to suggest you for his eulogy.

Go home, Mac.

I'm fine.

You're not fine.

You're hurt.

And you need time to heal.

Now, come on. I'm going to take you home.

I make a great cup of oolong tea.

Why

don't

you go relax? I'll put some water on the boil.

You did the right thing calling me, Major.

This guy's not your average stalker.

Fixation.

My wife used that.

Hey, we're done, Frank.

I'll run this over to the lab.

What are we looking at?

Tomorrow, day after.

Depends. Expedited, all right, Ben? I want this guy off the streets.

I'll see what I can do.

This is someone you know.

Maybe you went out with him or worked with him or met him in the supermarket.

You ever run a ballistics test on the weapon you found in the back of Lown's

car? Was using a robbery four months ago.

You think this guy killed Lown?

Don't you?

Maybe.

Which means he'll go after anyone he considers a rival.

A rival?

This man believes he's in love with you.

He probably thinks you love him, if only you'd admit it.

Are there any other men in your life, even men you only fantasize about?

Because they could be in danger, too.

No.

No one.

All right.

We'll see what the lab turns up.

Where can I reach you?

Right here.

You should stay with someone.

This is my home. I'm not running.

She'll be all right.

I'll put a car outside till I can get a surveillance team set up.

You got a weapon? I'm a Marine, remember?

My advice, if he comes back, shoot to kill.

If you only wound him, he'll sue you.

Even God forgives.

Dalton said that to me on the phone last night.

How could this maniac know what Dalton said to me?

It's like he knows my thoughts. It's like he's here.

Maybe. Maybe.

So much for evidence.

The hell with evidence.

Someone's listening to me in my house. Do you have any idea what that feels

like?

Koster's right, Mac. You should stay with someone else.

I'm not running from my home.

There'll be more of these in there.

There are. I'll find them.

You know what? I know someone who might help. I'll call you later.

And keep your door locked.

Commander, what brings you here?

I don't think I can repair this, sir. That's pretty banged up. Don't screw

around. How many more of these are in Major McKenzie's apartment?

Now wait a minute, sir. You're an electronics expert. You know about

devices. I don't know anything about this.

I'm going to be watching you.

You so much as look at the Major funny, and I will personally dropkick your butt

into Leavenworth.

Get that.

Does this mean you're not going to be my lawyer anymore, sir?

Don't be coy, Sarah. You know who I am.

What do you want?

The police outside your building aren't necessary.

I would never hurt you.

You bugged my apartment.

I know so much about you.

The more I know, the more I love you, Sarah.

If you love me, come forward.

Let me meet you.

Ask me to do something.

I'll do anything for you.

Put a bullet in your brain, you sick bastard.

I'm not sure Savalas is the guy.

Well, I'm not sure he isn't.

Well, whoever he is, we're going to have to flush him out.

And soon.

How?

We offer him what he wants.

When he goes for it, we grab him.

Using me as bait?

It's risky.

I'll cover your six.

It's up to you.

I'll call Koster and have him pull surveillance off my house.

Mac.

None of this is your fault.

Tell that to Dalton around.

How is your car? Hit anyone lately?

Well, not since you hit me.

I apologize if I was rude yesterday.

Well, I was a little abrupt, too.

I'm sorry.

I won't be in town very long, and I was wondering if you were free tonight.

My boss is having sort of a dinner party tonight.

Your boss?

Yes, Admiral Chugwood and the Judge Advocate General.

Well, that sounds stuffy and boring.

Must you go?

I'm sort of involved right now.

Oh, and will you take her to this party tonight?

No, she's in Orlando this week.

Well, then I will see you sometime.

Ciao. Hey, wait, wait.

Hello?

Afternoon, Major.

I'm sorry for your loss.

In a way, he was a lucky man, you know.

Dying in the arms of a beautiful woman.

That's how I want to go.

So, tonic water with a squeeze of lime is it, then?

Yeah.

There you go.

And put some vodka in it.

Have you ever hit a woman, Chief?

No, sir. Be sure to look directly at the members when you answer that question.

Sorry I'm late.

Hey, uh, I'm beginning to get a little worried about you.

You weren't watching my six very well this afternoon, Commander.

Oh, Mac.

Oh, don't oh -mac me.

Has he been cross -examined yet?

I'm going to get you some coffee. I have a few questions for the witness.

You want him to be prepared for the worst, don't you?

Come on, Major.

Bring it on. Let's see what you've got.

It's my turn.

Chief.

How are you doing today?

Pretty fair, Major. Thank you.

Any soreness in your knuckles?

Stiffness in your hands?

Major.

Withdrawn.

Chief, how much did you pay Miss Mars for her services?

Fifty dollars.

Did you get your money's worth?

Oh, yeah.

But Miss Mars testified you didn't.

She said you never finished.

She's supposed to say that, sir? Don't look at him, Chief. Look at me.

Did you walk away a satisfied customer or not?

Yeah, I was plenty satisfied.

But you didn't get there, did you?

Does that happen to you a lot?

Objection. Overruled.

What is it? You just don't like women? I don't have to answer this. Or maybe it

was her fault. If she was more of a woman, you would have been more of a

right? Objection.

Overruled. Major.

Overruled. So you decided to show her what a real man is. You hit her, and

you hit her again and again until she begged you to stop, and then you felt

a man.

Why don't you go somewhere and sober up, Major?

This is finished. You can go. You're wrong about me.

And I'm going to prove it to you.

So I had a drink.

It's not the end of the world.

What are you doing?

Calling you a cab.

Harmon Ram, Jr.

So righteous, so pure.

You never had a weak moment in your life, did you? I'm going to wait

Oh, wait a minute, I forgot.

Yeah, you have had weak moments, of course.

Your long -lost father.

Neurotic Annie.

You know, you're not just a drunk.

You're a mean drunk.

Lieutenant! Am I the first one here, sir?

Yes, you are. Please, come in.

I didn't realize that we were supposed to wear a tie.

It's all right, Mr. Roberts.

Have some champagne.

Yes, sir.

Hinton. Hi, Admiral. Hi.

You look stunning.

Thank you.

You want to take her out?

Yes, please.

Thank you.

Something wrong, Lieutenant?

Uh, your dress.

What about my dress?

I just thought this was casual attire.

Informal is not casual.

Or so my grandma told me.

Ma 'am?

Do you think the Admiral is upset that I didn't wear a tie?

I think he's really upset.

Really.

Do you have any idea what this party's about?

Not a clue.

Hey, Admiral, I'm so sorry I'm late, sir. Traffic on the bellway with murder.

Is the major with you?

No, sir. I thought she'd be here.

I know.

She's probably on her way.

Go have some champagne.

Yes, sir.

Can I have... everyone's attention.

The reason I asked you here tonight, other than I do enjoy your company, is

there's someone I want you to meet.

This is Francesca Peretti, my daughter.

Wow. Hi.

I'm Harriet Sims.

And we will be talking about this at JAG for months to come.

It's wonderful, but I didn't know me jumped out of a cake.

She's beautiful.

Hi, I'm Lieutenant J .G. Roberts, but I, uh...

I thought this was casual.

Hello, Alan Matoni. And this is my wife, Jackie. Pleasure to meet you.

Carmen Rapp.

Nice to meet you.

You look an awful lot like somebody I bumped into recently.

Someone nice, I hope.

Oh, not this person.

Cunning.

Diabolical, maybe.

It was a very dirty trick.

How can I make it up?

Well, we'll think of something.

I just, you know, I have lots.

Oh, this is Lieutenant Commander Carolyn Rimes.

What's going on?

It's Clayton Cutherson. Some of his men are over.

Mac, we're waiting for you at the party.

I'm not going.

What? It's a big event. Come on. It'll do you good.

I can't face them harm. I can't face you.

Mac. Mac.

You fell off the wagon. You get back on.

Hell, you got ten years sobriety. Don't throw that away.

I said some horrible things to you.

I've had worse things.

Forget about that.

You want to tell me what happened?

When Dalton lay dying in my arms, he asked me if I loved him.

I told him I did, and I always would.

But he knew it was a lie.

As I was holding him, I was... I was sad, and I was scared.

Most of all, I was relieved.

I know it's sick, and it's cruel, and I'm ashamed of myself.

God help me. Koster's right. Whoever killed Dalton did me a favor.

Dolan was harassing you. Those thoughts are natural, Meg.

When I saw that writing on the wall, it was like he was reaching out from the

grave, you know?

God, whoever did that is going to be the cruelest person alive.

I want to catch him.

Oh, we're going to catch him.

But first, we're going to go to the Admiral's party.

I'm fashion editor at Donna DeFari magazine.

We are opening a New York office.

That speaks very highly of you.

I'm afraid he doesn't speak of you at all.

Your father's a very private man.

Is Matt going to be all right?

Yeah, I think she'll be fine, sir.

Excuse me.

Harriet. Carolyn.

Hello, Juan.

Have more fun.

Oh,

sorry, sir. The other one was occupied.

Oh, it's all right. I was just getting some aspirin. Aspirin? I know.

Major.

Mac, um, you think it's your fault.

You think...

Boy, if I was just a little faster, a little smarter, braver.

But it's not your fault.

No, sir.

Go easy on yourself.

Yes, sir.

I will have something to ask for now.

Hello. We found his location. What?

Now tell me about you. What are your passions?

I like to go fast.

I like to golf. I like to fly.

Good cigars.

And cigars now. Your girlfriend, how does she feel about these cigars?

She smokes them too sometimes.

You sound very compatible.

Francesca, I have to leave.

Oh, but this is early.

I really do have to go.

It's been a pleasure talking with you.

Perhaps we'll talk again sometime.

I'd like that.

Bye.

Breaking in like this, not exactly by the book, is it?

They use a different book with guys like you.

100 ,000 volts stun gun.

You.

I've been in love with you since the first time you looked at me.

I've never known any woman like you.

You killed Dalton.

My arm wasn't worth the dirt you walked on.

How long have you been lying on me? Five months.

Your phone, your bedroom, your bathroom, your car.

What do you want?

What every man wants.

To possess the woman he loves.

Well, you don't have to tie me up to do that.

I'm just as attracted to you as you are to me.

Don't do that!

Don't play me.

I'm not some stupid psycho.

You know the difference between me and Lown and Rav and all those other guys?

I know what you need.

This is what you want?

To let yourself go, to not be responsible.

Help me!

Help! Help me!

No one can hear you. And if you fight, it'll only make it worse.

Let me take care of you.

You don't take the pain away.

Custer. I had a bad feeling about you.

You should learn to trust your instincts, Rat.

Well, do whatever it is you're going to do.

And do it quick so that I don't have to listen to you gloat. Come into the

light. I'm not going to do anything.

But this crazy stalker is going to kill you.

And then he's going to take Mac.

Up to this place in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

I don't know which I'm going to find more enjoyable.

Take

your

time getting here.

Yeah, yeah.

I had interference on the tracker signal. I lost it for a minute.

Thank God I found you.

The locator on my car was brilliant.

You're a genius.

Well, I don't know about that, but... Hey, are you okay?

Yeah.

Wow.

Whoa.

Been drinking, huh?

Let's get out of here.

You wanted to see me, Commander?

Yeah, Chief. At ease.

I owe you an apology.

I talked to the pimp. You were right.

He beat her up.

Will he admit to it, sir?

I doubt it, but I'm going to subpoena him and put him on the stand. By the

I get through with him, there'll be enough reasonable doubt you'll have an

acquittal.

I believe you.

I owe you, sir.

Here's your tracking equipment, Chief.

Thanks for the loan.

We're even.

I'll see you in court.

Kind of looking forward to it, Commander.

Dismissed.

Aye, aye, sir.

Keep your seats.

Coster confessed to killing Lowne out of love for you, Major. He'll be spending

the rest of his life behind bars.

I'll think of him on Valentine's Day.

Nice job, Commander.

Thank you, sir.

My apologies, Admiral, for leaving the party so abruptly.

Well, we've tried to carry on without you.

You all right, Major?

Yes, sir.

I'd like to get back to my duties.

Sir, may I suggest that the Major take a few days' leave?

Well, she's a big girl, Commander. She knows what's right.

Don't you, Major?

Yes, sir, I do.
