Holy.

What's on six? Post five. We have a small boat in the water. Port side.

What's the situation?

There, Lieutenant.

Two o 'clock.

Don't move. Put your hand behind your head.

Take on the board.

Take on the board.

He's got a detonator, Lieutenant. Fire.

Dan, we're live at the naval base here at Norfolk, Virginia. We're awaiting the

arrival of the terrorists who attacked the USS Wake Island Sunday night in the

Persian Gulf, where five sailors were killed.

This is Lieutenant Royce Caron. He is with the Marines Fleet Anti -Terrorism

Security Team, also known as Fast Company. Lieutenant, how did these

manage to slip by security in the first place?

I don't know how they slipped in, sir, but they sure didn't slip out.

Thank you very much, sir. Okay, it looks like the chopper bringing in the

captured terrorist is coming in right now.

By the way, a second terrorist was killed during that sneak attack.

in, huh? The hero's landing now, sir.

Good morning, sir. Good morning, bud. They were thwarted by the alert response

of the ship's deck watch.

Now, the Navy so far has not released any information about the terrorist nor

his affiliation.

Okay, it looks like the prisoner is disembarking from the helicopter right

This is the man who attempted to blow up the United States warship. Special

Agent Novak.

NCIS must have handed this to the FBI.

Oh, my God! I think a Marine guard just turned around and shot the prisoner.

Shot the prisoner. The other guards are wrestling the shooter.

What is happening here?

We just got word from the FBI that the prisoner died and ran out to the

hospital. Did he say anything before he died, sir? Like a deathbed confession?

Not such luck.

All we know is his name is Khalil Nassim.

Has anyone claimed him, sir, or taken responsibility for attacking the ship?

No, it could be one of a dozen groups.

Hamas, Hezbollah, Mujahideen. We may never know.

Which makes Corporal Berry's act even more deplorable.

It's deplorable, but understandable.

Five of his shipmates died in the bombing.

Shooting an unarmed man, no matter how loathsome he is, is still murder,

Commander.

Yes, sir. I didn't say I condoned it. I said I understood. Well, I'm glad you're

so understanding, because you will be defending Corporal Berry. You arrive at

0030. You can talk to him first thing in the morning.

Or you can pass, if you wish.

No, sir. I'll take the case.

Good. Good.

Major, you'll be trial counsel. Mr. Roberts will assist you with your

prosecution. Dismissed.

Yes, sir. Aye, aye, sir. Thank you, sir.

Cheer up.

All you have to do is defend a man who committed murder in front of 50 million

witnesses.

Thanks for putting it into perspective.

Hey, the Admiral gave you an out. You didn't have to take this case.

Explain it to her, bud. It wasn't an out, ma 'am. It was a challenge.

Oh, but you were too macho to pass up.

Would you pass it up?

I'm just as macho as you.

Come on, Lieutenant. We have a case to prepare.

We'll talk.

Well, I'm sure we will.

It wasn't murder, sir.

Well, what would you call it?

I don't know, sir.

Something told me I had to do it.

Something told you what, like a voice?

I'm not crazy, Commander.

Take it easy, Corporal. I didn't say you were crazy.

You had a brother in the Air Force?

Yes, sir.

He died in 96.

In the Khobar Tower bombing in Saudi Arabia?

Along with 18 other American servicemen, Commander.

And we'll never catch the coward who did it.

So this was payback for your brother's death?

Sir, he attacked us.

He was a threat to my country.

He wasn't a threat when you shot him, Corp.

If you stayed a terrorist mind like I have, sir, you'd know they wouldn't rest

as long as we had them. There'd be more hostages taken, sir, more bombings.

No American was saved while he was alive. I did my duty as a Marine, sir.

And how were you doing your duty, Marine?

I eliminated a sworn mortal enemy in my country.

I saved lives.

They go around killing people whenever they want, sir.

Whoever they want.

They call us the great thing, sir. They're the great thing.

I won't plead guilty, Commander.

What I did was right.

Temporary insanity.

That would apply to you if you think you can win on a mental incompetence

argument. Mac, at the time he pulled the trigger, he genuinely believed he had

to kill that terrorist to save American lives.

His brother was killed in the Cobar Tower's bombings. It was revenge. He

what he was doing. Not at the time he pulled the trigger. Now I'm going to

request a 706 hearing. You can request all the psych hearings you want.

Your client is not mentally incompetent.

Going anywhere for lunch?

Yes, as a matter of fact, I am.

You ever make a mistake, Novak?

Yeah.

By not putting you in prison when I had the chance.

What are you looking for?

A link between the dead guy and a terrorist organization.

You want to show he was a real bad guy who deserved to die.

Something like that, yeah.

I can't help you.

Didn't the scene say anything before he died? If he did, it was classified.

So he did say something.

I didn't say that. You know, I can ask you these questions under oath.

And you'd get the same answers.

What's the problem, Novak?

Prisoner's dead. Your case is over. No. You know what's over?

This meeting is over.

If you'll excuse me.

Ready on the left! Ready on the right!

All ready on the firing line!

Commence firing!

Clear the ground on all weapons!

Stand back from the firing line!

Lieutenant Cairn.

Lieutenant Commander Rapp.

Been expecting you, Commander.

Guess you want to talk about Corporal Barrett, sir.

Right. What can you tell me about him?

Overall, a fine Marine, sir.

A bit short on education, but long on dedication.

Any problems?

Issues? When he first joined my unit, he was sharp, alert, and willing to learn.

I figured him for a staff NCO after a few years, but after his brother died...

You know about his brother, Commander?

After his brother died, something shifted.

Shifted? How? He was still a good Marine, but he lost his focus, became

obsessed. Where?

Terrorism, sir. He followed around the world like a groupie.

When our embassies were bombed in Kenya and Tanzania, he was ready to kick some

serious butt.

You think that corporal was a sound mind when he shot the terrorists?

I don't know, sir.

But I'm glad the guy's dead.

I just wish it wasn't a Marine that killed him.

Lieutenant, weapon jam.

Excuse me a moment, Commander.

We're trained to kill the enemy, Commander.

Not prisoners.

And you see no basis for a plea bargain.

Sure this is as open and shut as a murder case can get?

Members will never buy an insanity argument.

Still, plenty on might be the best course.

Are you suggesting that I offer a lesser charge, sir? No, no, no, no. That's up

to you. All I'm saying is be wary.

Ram's got a deep hat with lots of rabbits.

I have a few tricks of my own, sir.

Sure you do, Major.

Yes? The Secretary of the Navy is here, sir.

Um, send him in.

I hope I'm not disturbing anything.

Not at all, Mr. Secretary.

You know Major McKenzie? We met after the Major's vacation in Russia.

We were just discussing the Berry case, sir.

Good. That's why I'm here.

Do you foresee any problems getting a conviction, Major?

Many, Mr. Secretary. I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't.

But nothing you can't handle?

I hope not, sir.

Do you want me to stay, Admiral?

Oh, that won't be necessary, Major.

Dismissed.

Aye, aye, sir.

Take a look at this. What is it?

A Percival Bertram press conference taped this morning.

Who's our super patriot, great protector of the American way outraged about now?

Watch.

Our government wastes time... and resources prosecuting a true

American hero when what they should be doing is punishing countries who support

the cowardly cutthroats who attack American citizens abroad?

He's entitled to his opinion.

Well, a lot of people share that opinion, including many on the Hill whom

Bertram helped put into office.

Look. Corporal Barry should be punished, of course, but... Sometimes it's mighty

nice to fight fire with fire.

What are we looking at, worst case?

Murder premeditated with intent, death penalty, or life in prison. If there

any way, not legally, of course, to mitigate the punishment, the White House

might be very supportive, A .J.

Well, sir, you know I cannot interfere with a court -martial. Nor would the

President ask you to.

But if there is some way to salvage this boy's life... I'll give it some

thought, sir.

I've read the psych evaluation report and there's nothing in it that says that

Corporal Barry is incapable of participating in his own defense.

The report also states, sir, that Corporal Barry suffered severe

after the death of his brother. It is not exempt him from accountability for

conduct. His conduct is mitigated by his state of mind. It also precludes

premeditation. All right, enough.

Save it for the trial, people.

Opening argument, 0900 tomorrow.

Yes, sir.

Oh, and Commander Rav, remember the time you discharged the firearm in my

courtroom? Yes, sir. I was a little overzealous. You're a loose cannon,

Commander, both figuratively and literally.

But you're older and wiser now, aren't you?

Yes, sir. Good, because if you pull a stunt like that again, the next psych

hearing will be your own. Aye, sir.

Good day.

Mr. Novak, what we just saw, is that an accurate playback of the murder?

Objection. Characterization.

It's a thing.

Excuse me, of the shooting incident.

Yes, it is.

The prisoner was walking away from the helo when Corporal Berry discharged two

rounds from his firearm to the prisoner's upper torso.

Your Honor, I'd like to introduce government's exhibit two, the autopsy

stating that the victim died of gunshot wounds to the heart and lung.

Defense stipulates this authenticity, Your Honor.

Is this the gun that Corporal Berry used?

Yes, ma 'am, I believe it is.

Did Corporal Berry say anything before or after he fired the weapon?

Not that I can recollect.

Did he seem aware of what he was doing?

Objection calls for an opinion.

I'll rephrase.

What was Corporal Berry's demeanor when he shot the victim?

He was very matter -of -fact.

Thank you.

Your witness.

Agent Novak, what was the mood of the security team on the day of the

The Marines conducted themselves in a very professional manner.

Except, of course, the defendant.

Beneath the professional manner. Wasn't there an angry undercurrent, sir?

Objection. Counsel's leading the witness.

No further questions, Your Honor.

Oh, I do have one more question, Agent Novak. Sorry, Your Honor.

What did the terrorist say before he died?

Nothing. I remind you, sir, you're under oath.

The man said nothing before he died.

Really?

Your Honor, I reserve the right to recall this witness, sir.

Major McKenzie, what do you think of the defendant's insanity gambit? That's for

the members of the court -martial to decide.

But please excuse us. We can't comment on an ongoing court case.

You went a little hard on Agent Novak in there.

Well, he knows something.

You wouldn't happen to know what that is, would you?

Like what?

I don't know, but something isn't right about this shooting.

Do we know something, ma 'am? We don't, but I think I know someone who might.

Major? Admiral?

Excuse me, sir.

I'll be done here in just a second. No, I'm in no hurry, sir.

So, um...

How goes the trial?

Well, I call in my expert witness this afternoon to testify about Barry's

capacity. Psychobabble.

I've been reading a lot of psychology for this case.

It's funny how the mind works, sir.

Is it? Well, yeah. For instance, how we reveal things about ourselves without

being aware of it.

What sort of things?

Well, for example, I...

Get a sense from you, and I could be way off, that there's something you're

thinking, but you're not telling me.

Which, if there is, it's perfectly fine, of course, sir. I'm sure you have your

reasons.

I'll just... That looks great. Is that pot

roast? Yeah, I cooked some up last night.

Would you care for some, sir? I have plenty.

No thanks.

Did the accused know that murder was wrong when he killed the prisoner?

Yes. Based on my examination and my observations, I believe he appreciated

wrongfulness of his act.

In other words, he was mentally responsible.

Yes, he was.

Your witness, Counselor.

Dr. Enclave, what was Corporal Berry's state of mind on the day he dispatched

the terrorist?

I believe he was highly agitated.

Guilt -ridden, full of impotent rage.

Guilt -ridden? Why guilt -ridden, Doctor?

Corporal Berry is trained to fight terrorists.

If a terrorist succeeds, he fails.

Sir, in your report, you stated that he didn't believe then, nor does he believe

now, that he committed murder.

That's correct.

No more than a soldier in combat believes that killing the enemy is

So, though he knows that murder is wrong, he doesn't think that he

Something like that.

Isn't that exactly it, sir?

Corporal Berry is unable to recognize that killing a terrorist is wrong.

An assassin, uh...

sworn enemy of the country. In fact, sir, isn't it true that he believes it's

his duty to kill such people?

I think that's a fair assumption based on my observations.

Doctor, if I were to take this weapon and give it to Corporal Barry, would he

kill a terrorist with it?

I have no way of knowing.

Doctor, isn't it more likely that Corporal Barry would shoot a terrorist

say, Admiral Morris or Major McKenzie or you, sir?

Yes, it is more likely, based on my evaluation of him.

Now, doesn't that make him criminally insane?

Not at all.

Not at all.

Not at all.

Because defending one's country against its enemy is very sane and proper.

Probably the most sane thing that a person can do. Isn't that true, Doctor?

Well, I don't know if it's sane or not.

But yes, it does seem proper to defend one's country.

Thank you very much, Doctor. No further questions, Your Honor.

Was Corporal Barry defending his country when he shot the victim?

That's not for me to decide.

Thank you, Doctor. I think the members of the jury already know the answer to

that question.

There you were.

You want to see me, Corporal?

Yes, sir.

Thanks for coming.

Look, juries are unpredictable, but I think we're getting this one on our

I got another lawyer, sir.

Excuse me?

I said I got another lawyer.

I mean, in no disrespect, sir, I'm getting fired.

Admiral, he gunned down the terrorists on live TV. I was defending them and I

was getting the job done, sir.

Well, your client or other ex -client has the right to hire a civilian

if he wants one.

I take it you've never been fired before.

No, sir.

Well, Juan Nita Reznor is a celebrated law professor, litigator, never lost a

murder case.

Yeah, sir, that is the other thing. There is no way that a corporal could

that woman.

Maybe she's doing it pro bono.

In any event, Admiral Morse has approved the change. You're off the case.

Yes, sir.

I would have won. You would not have won.

Lieutenant Commander Rapp, I'm Juanita Ressler.

Welcome aboard, ma 'am. I hope we can manage a smooth and painless transition,

Commander. I read the transcript. You put up a good defense.

Apparently not good enough.

This is Major McKenzie.

Sarah McKenzie.

Professor Ressler, I'm flattered you remembered me. I didn't. When I saw your

name listed as trial counsel, I researched your background. You were in

criminal law class at Duke.

Yes, you advised me to drop law and take up lap dancing.

I see you didn't take my advice.

If you'll excuse me, I'll get your case back.

And now we're adversaries.

Ironic, isn't it?

I hope that doesn't frighten you.

Not in the least.

Good.

Excuse me.

May I?

So who called in the big guns?

Let's just say an anonymous benefactor.

I assume you are familiar with the UCMJ, MCM, military rules of evidence.

I will be. What I don't know, my staff can research.

You've done an admirable job of painting Mr. Berry as... Corporal Berry.

Thank you.

Painting Corporal Berry as an heroic writer of wrongs. All he lacks is a

mask, and sword.

It's your case file.

Why did you abandon the diminished capacity defense?

I didn't. I augmented it. With an emotional appeal to a military jury.

Military people know better than anyone the threats this country faces, Ms.

Ressler. They understand why Corporal Berry did it.

Don't they believe in the laws they're sworn to protect?

Of course they do.

They also realize that special circumstances require special actions.

Like shooting an unarmed man.

What defense do you have in mind?

I intend to show Corporal Berry is a victim.

Of?

The military system.

She's going for the abuse excuse?

That arrogant witch actually believes that she can finesse me with a Twinkie

defense. I wouldn't underestimate her, Mac. Oh, don't worry, I won't. I want to

know who hired her.

Carm, stay out of it, please.

I don't want a mistrial on taking that woman out.

A little animosity going there, huh?

For 14 weeks, she humiliated me in class.

Well, I'm not a timid little second -year law student anymore.

It's payback time.

Dr. Nichols, you are a psychiatrist and former Marine captain, correct?

Yes, I served for 10 years.

Can you explain what happens to a recruit psychologically when he goes to

boot camp?

Essentially, he's subjected to a carefully planned barrage of physical,

and emotional demands.

Resulting in? A person with a great loyalty to the Corps and a firm belief

Corps doctrine.

It sounds like brainwashing.

Would you say that Corporal Berry displays loyalty to the Corps?

Very much so.

But Corporal Bear is an extreme case. He took the indoctrination a bit too far.

In what way?

The Marines teach there's two parts to a mission, task and intent.

When intent, the more important.

Corporal Bear believes that by killing the terrorists, he carried out the

of the mission.

He protected his country.

So the brainwashing or indoctrination is the basic reason for his actions.

It's certainly a major contributing factor.

Thank you, Dr. Nichols. No further questions.

Dr. Nichols, what did you do before you joined up?

What do you mean?

Well, you ran with a gang, didn't you?

Yes, I did.

And yet now you're an M .D., a successful psychiatrist.

Why the turnaround?

I grew up.

I see.

Could it be that the honor, the courage, the commitment that the Marines

instilled in you helped you grow up?

Absolutely, Major.

Well, it's nice to know that Marine Corps brainwashing doesn't always turn

crazed killers.

She's good. I'll give her that.

Yeah, she is good, Meg.

You're better than she is.

Come here.

That compliment?

However you want to take it. Excuse me. I have to go.

Major McKenzie neutralized your Dr.

Nichols pretty good.

I have more psychiatric experts.

$500 an hour plus expenses.

I hope they're more effective than your former Marine, Counselor.

Sir, you can't go in there.

Commander Rabb, don't tell me you followed me.

I'm sorry, Mr. Burcham. Should I call security?

No, that's all right, Becky.

Commander Rabb's always welcome here.

I don't believe we've had the formalities.

Percival Bertram. The mysterious benefactor who had me replaced at

council. Oh, no reflection on your lawyering skills, Commander, but there's

substitute for experience.

May I call you Harm?

My friends call me Bert.

Really? They don't call you Percy?

Not since I got rich and famous.

I'm going to leave you boys alone so that you can decide who's his bigger.

Have fun.

There goes a good old gal.

She's a crackerjack attorney, too.

Crackerjack civilian attorney.

That's what gives her an edge.

She'll do anything for an acquittal.

Even blame the military, and that's a line that you won't cross.

Why are you getting involved in this, Mr. Kurtram?

Because I will not stand by and watch that young patriot suffer for doing

something that none of us had the guts to do.

Those people can attack us at will.

Beirut, Khobar Towers, World Trade Center, embassies, and now the Wake

We retaliated for the embassies, Mr. Bertram. We'll retaliate for Wake

How? By blowing up a pill factory in the Sudan? By lobbing some missiles into

Afghanistan? We should be going after their governments, their leaders.

But what are we doing? We're going after a bunch of ragtag gorillas skulking

around in mountain caves.

Their terrorism will not defeat us, Commander.

But our complacency will.

We've got to let those bastards know that there's no more open season on

Americans.

We have the most powerful nation on the face of the earth.

And by the Lord God, we're going hunting.

Because we are the most powerful nation on the earth, sir, we can't. Oh, come

down from your high moral ground, Commander.

You know you agree with me.

Part of me, maybe.

But the other part, sir, knows that we are a nation of laws.

And that is what makes us great.

Vigilantes like yourself are as dangerous to this country as the

Because you believe that, Commander.

That is why I had you replaced.

Any more witnesses, Ms. Ressler?

No, Your Honor. Defense rests.

Major McKenzie, are you ready with closing arguments?

Yes, Your Honor.

There's a prevailing attitude out there that... Someone or something else is

responsible for our wrongful conduct.

Abuse of parents, a cheating spouse, postpartum depression.

And now Miss Ressler has invented a new villain.

Boot camp.

But that's out there.

This is the Marine Corps. We take responsibility for our actions.

Lives depend on it.

Not one expert witness testified that Corporal Berry has a mental illness.

He's not a paranoid schizophrenic, a psychopath, or a deviant of any kind.

He's an angry young man who decided to shoot an Arab.

In our society, rage, no matter how justified, is not a defense.

You have only one recourse.

To find Corporal Barry guilty of premeditated murder.

North is a proud and honorable organization.

I am not here to malign the Corps.

But if there is a flaw in the system, you must recognize it before you can fix

it.

Marcus Berry was stripped of his identity and turned into a

Marine.

This should have been a good thing.

But something went awry.

Along the way, he lost his innate sense of right and wrong.

Now, the question you must ask yourself is, did Corporal Berry, motivated by

rage and hatred, kill the terrorist of his own free will?

Or did he, driven by an overwhelming sense of duty

instilled in him by the Corps, impulsively kill the terrorist?

to save his country.

Major McKenzie.

Nice closing.

Thank you. So was yours.

You've become a fine lawyer, Sarah.

But the world left a good life to you, right?

That suggestion was not meant to make you leave law school. It was meant to

provoke you.

To keep you in.

See you tomorrow, counselor.

I have the autopsy report.

Thanks, bud.

She just seen Major McKenzie today. She was great.

Oh, I bet she was.

Is there something I can help you with, sir?

Yeah, something doesn't jive here.

There.

Maths of hemorrhaging hemothorax.

What does that mean to you?

Lots of bleeding.

You nailed it, bud.

I did?

Grab.

When? Hey.

The bombing of the American Central Hotel in Riyadh.

Forty people are dead.

But I'm afraid that well may be dry, sir.

Yes, sir. We'll keep trying.

What do you want, Commander?

Show me the body.

What? Show me the body.

I don't have time for this, Rab. There was another bombing. I'm aware of that.

Show me the terrorist's body.

It was cremated. Fool.

I'm getting tired of you calling me a liar. Now leave me alone. I got work to

do. Produce the body.

This isn't your case anymore.

Who else knows about this? Fickniff?

Attorney General?

I will.

How did you know?

I knew there was something wrong with the shooting when I realized there was

blood. They had him in Kevlar.

The bullets broke some ribs and knocked him unconscious, but the vest saved his

life. How long were you going to keep him under wraps, Novak?

Until we found the person that masterminded the attack.

If he thinks we have Nassim and we're questioning him, he'll go to ground.

never catch him.

That's why I need you to keep this quiet.

Corporal Berry is up on murder charges.

Hey, nobody told him to shoot this guy.

Look, Rab, you could bust us right now, but what will you gain?

Well, at the very least, I'd put it into a bogus trial.

Granted, it'll also blow our investigation.

Where's your investigation right now, anyway, Noah?

Nassim's control was a Syrian, no name.

He gave Nassim 200 ,000 American dollars.

American, huh?

Nassim told us where he stashed the money.

We retrieved about half of it.

Any chance of tracing the serial numbers?

We think so.

Whatever bank gave him the money?

Most likely recorded the numbers.

Banks often do that when there's a large cash withdrawal.

Once we find the bank, we can backtrack to the source.

Well, how long is that going to take?

A couple of days, maybe, depending on how difficult they made their financial

conduits. Meanwhile, the guy who masterminded this operation is

terror elsewhere.

All the more reason for you to keep your mouth shut about this.

We have to tell Admiral Moritz.

Let's think about this a minute. What's to think about?

It's a mistrial. The government falsified evidence and committed

Barry could sue us, I'd take his case. Five minutes ago, you wanted to hang

Five minutes ago, he was a murderer.

It's only by chance he's not.

Are you suggesting we let the trial continue, sir? Of course not, but there

greater good to be considered here.

There are also ethics involved, sir.

Some rules shouldn't be broken.

Mac. No, she has a point.

Yeah, well, if I may suggest, this really isn't our decision to make.

Set up the meeting.

Aye, aye, sir.

What is it, Major?

Sir, were you aware that Nassim was alive before today?

No, Major, it was not.

But in the kitchen you... Is there something else?

No, sir. Thank you, sir.

I don't understand, sir. You mean I didn't kill anyone?

Terrorists survived the shooting.

The FBI has.

How long have you known this?

We just found out.

The autopsy report.

Phony. Agent Novak misled us.

How about out and out live?

Ms. Ressler, I'm not going to try to sugarcoat this. The government messed

Obviously, the murder charges will be dropped. Obviously. What about charging

him with assault?

Any charges stemming from the shooting will be thrown out.

Of course, he will be discharged from the Corps.

Fine. Then if you'll be so kind as to release my client immediately.

We can do that, but in order to catch the person behind these bombings, we

reveal that the prisoner is alive.

Are you saying what I think you're saying? We want to continue the trial,

'am. My client was looking at a possible death penalty while the government

played its spy games.

He's walking.

Corporal, you can walk out that door right now a free man, or you can

stay and help us.

Help you how, sir?

Continue the trial through the verdict and penalty phase?

No, absolutely not. There's a man out there determined to kill...

Determined to kill more Americans.

I'm asking you to stay and help us catch him.

Permission to speak freely, Admiral?

Shooting that guy?

I was wrong, sir.

That's what they do.

I don't want to be like them.

Now you're telling me I didn't kill anyone.

It's like a second chance.

Man, thanks for your concern and everything.

There's something I've got to do.

Of course I'll help you, sir.

I want to be a part of this.

Counselor, I don't need to remind you that everything you heard in here is

privileged. Don't worry, Admiral. I won't say anything. No one would believe

anyway.

Let me know what the verdict is.

Commander.

You want your old job back soon?

I have news.

Not another bomb? No.

We back -trailed the money.

Where? Washington, D .C. First Merchants Bank.

You know who has accounts at First Merchants Bank?

Commander Robin, Special Agent Novak, sir.

Gentlemen, have a seat.

Well, I understand you're back in the saddle with Corporal Berry.

My little gal quit.

She didn't say why.

Do you know why?

I haven't a clue, but you know what they say.

Never horse couldn't be rode, never rider couldn't be thrown.

Well, then, what can I do for you?

Well, we have some news for you, sir.

We know who financed the Wake Island attack.

Really? Who?

You. What blazes are you talking about?

Three months ago, you took a trip to Saudi Arabia.

That's right. A business trip. So? You met with someone there. Who was it? A

Saudi businessman. We formed a joint venture to build factories in the Middle

East. I was to provide the capital. He was to provide the clients.

So what?

That businessman took your capital and used it to finance the Wake Island

attack. And probably the Central Hotel as well. I'm sure many more to come.

I don't believe you.

You wired $4 million to a bank in Amsterdam.

From there, the money was sent via letter of credit to a bank in Riyadh.

The cash was withdrawn and taken to Syria.

Here's some of it back.

We found it hidden in an apartment in Damascus.

Are you saying that my money was used to finance terrorist attacks on Americans?

That's what we're saying.

The man's name was Fazal Qazi.

I talked to him this morning.

Another cash transfer is due within 48 hours.

Fat chance.

No, sir.

Make that transfer.

Intercept one. This is control.

Subject is leaving the bank.

It's in port control. We got him.

Agent Novak just called.

They have Faisal Qasim.

There was one small wrinkle. He's dead.

FBI was about to apprehend him when he was gunned down in a drive -by. Two

bullets to the heart.

Are we sure that he's dead, sir?

We're sure.

Who shot him?

I don't know.

Killers get away.

At least there's one less terrorist in the world.

Yes, sir, and one more murderer.
