It's like a vegetable man coming in. Let's muster a working party to pass up

ACOM ladder.

Sir, we got our vegetables an hour ago. They came by truck.

Lieutenant Rojas.

Go ahead, sir. We've got a suspect craft approaching. On our way, sir.

Let's go!

Fire a warning shot. Fire on.

Split, sir.

Don't shoot.

Don't move! Don't shoot! We've got to get off the boat. Identify yourself.

Don't shoot!

Who are you?

Sergeant Joan Steele, United States Marine Corps.

How did you know where to find me anyway, Tanner?

Tuesday, 0630 would be your five -mile run along the river, sir.

Now, what if I had decided to change my route today?

Not likely, Commander.

You're pretty regular with your schedule, sir.

Shinner? Reporting with Commander Rabb, as ordered, sir.

Thank you, Tanner. That'll be all.

Sorry to cut your jog short, Commander. You're aware of Marine Sergeant John

Steele disappeared during a terrorist attack in Bahrain last month?

Yes, sir. An MP assigned to the Marine Expeditionary Unit deployed to the Gulf.

She's presumably abducted, though no demands for every man. She's still MIA.

Yesterday, Navy patrol and the United Arab Emirates intercepted two gunmen

aboard a small boat carrying 400 pounds of explosives toward the USS Vance.

Trying for a repeat of the attack on the coal, sir?

Apparently, but this time the patrol killed both gunmen.

They also found Sergeant Steele on their boat alive.

Well, why would terrorists take on a hostage to bomb a ship?

It's not clear she was a hostage.

She was dressed like the gunman in local garb. She wasn't restrained.

What did she say?

They forced her at gunpoint to go with them? We don't have IDs on the dead

terrorists yet, but we're guessing a local offshoot of the Islamic Jihad.

And we're thinking that they recruited her.

Well, we don't know what the hell happened over there.

Your flight leaves in 90 minutes.

Dismissed.

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

Meg, running away from home?

I'm not.

What would be the military term for what we're doing?

Aid and assistance.

You guys taking a trip?

I'm not.

Fine.

Hey, did you find my headscarves?

Yes, ma 'am. Free, packed.

You got my extra uniform?

Rolled, not folded, sir. Water purifier?

With a new filter, ma 'am.

At ease, Marine.

Why do I keep thinking I'm forgetting something?

The minister.

I'm sorry.

No worries. I'll call him.

Saturday, May 26th, right? You guys set the date?

I've got to get a dress.

Congratulations, Mick.

Thank you.

Congratulations, mate.

Commander, Colonel, the duty driver's standing by.

Gotta go.

I'll be too busy.

I'll get the front seat then.

I'll call you.

Be careful.

Looks like I'll have some free nights, bud. What do you say we go waste one of

them? Go have a drink.

Sure. When they do, wine and girl talk.

That's a date.

Great.

Ever since the coal got bombed, we've been on heightened security.

Every command guideline followed to the letter.

Members of the quarterdeck watch are armed.

Picket boats crisscrossed about us during every 15 minutes, water hoses

repel boarders, exclusion zones extended 200 yards from the ship, and a recorded

warning message in Arabic ready for broadcast.

Seems like something broke down, Commander. You were a few minutes away

being blown out of the water.

That's one way to look at it, Colonel.

The terrorists looked like the boat that delivers our vegetables.

Was your vegetable boat scheduled to arrive at that time? He came by truck

earlier. The only no -show was the guy who delivers our magazine and videos.

He spent seven hours with Navy and local security explaining his uncle was sick.

He checks out. So the bombers were on their own and they just headed toward

ship? They didn't just do anything, ma 'am.

Nobody gets near us unless they check their security code with the harbor

captain. This boat knew the right code.

Would someone with a working knowledge of naval security have been able to

provide them with that?

You're talking about your Sergeant Steele?

We've all been wondering the same thing.

Yes, ma 'am. Our people coordinated with Navy security.

I was familiar with their procedures.

Any idea how the terrorists made this procedure, Sergeant?

I told them, sir.

You provided this information because you were threat coerced. That's what I

them think, sir.

I think you better explain, Sergeant.

Sir, ma 'am, you have to understand the situation.

The men who abducted me were zealots.

They were prepared to sacrifice anybody, including themselves, to sink that

destroyer. That's all the more reason not to help them.

It was my duty to stop them, ma 'am.

I needed to get them into the section of the harbor where our forces had

overwhelming superiority.

Why not try to have them caught at the entrance?

They would have turned tail and run, sir.

I needed to make sure they wouldn't escape.

And what about their chance of succeeding? Did you factor that into

Ma 'am, I knew we weren't expected.

That ship's watch or a picket boat would spot us. Hundreds of lives were at

risk, Sergeant.

The Navy did its job, ma 'am.

The terrorists were killed, the bomb diffused.

And if you'd been killed?

A chance I was willing to take, ma 'am.

Ma 'am, do you have any idea how long they're going to keep me in here?

No, that's up to the doctors.

There's nothing wrong with me, Colonel.

If you could put a word in with someone, I'd really like to get back to my job.

Why the rush, Sergeant?

They're called terrorists, sir.

If I'm too shaken up to return to duty, they win.

Never giving in. That's Sergeant Steele.

How well do you know her, Colonel? I know how determined she is.

She submitted a MUSEF package. When I didn't endorse it, it was obvious she

disappointed. So you don't think she was a good candidate to be an officer, sir?

I knew she was brave. I knew she was tough.

I wasn't sure she was officer material. That's what I told her. I needed more

time to see how she operated.

What were your reservations, sir?

Reservation.

Judgment.

There were a number of incidents.

The one I most vividly recall is when she waded into a scuffle on a Liberty

boat. She pulled her weapon on a drunken Marine.

What do you know about the night she was kidnapped?

Terrorists were attacking a Bahraini police armory. Sergeant Steele was

from the harbor to the naval base. When she stopped at a red light, she heard an

explosion. Assuming the worst, she got out of the vehicle, rushed to the scene,

armed only with a sidearm.

She is brave.

Standing orders are to return to the unit in any emergency.

All we found later was a holster.

She's very lucky to be alive.

Well, actually, sir, she seems to be in pretty good shape. She's asked to be

returned to duty.

Oh, she's got grit.

There's absolutely no question about that.

So why don't you just give her a medal and send her back to us?

Colonel, Sergeant Steele has admitted helping the terrorists gain access to

Jebel Ali Harbor.

What in the world for?

She thought it would make it easier to catch them, sir.

That's Sergeant's deal.

Looking to keep cool?

Oh, good.

Hey, you read my mind.

Thank you. I thought you liked chocolate.

Well, I understand that vanilla is a very popular flavor. I thought I'd give

a try.

Go wild.

Got a message from Admiral Cheglin.

He wants to know what we've got.

Unclear. She nearly got 300 people killed, Harm, not to mention almost

up a $600 million ship.

Bad judgment?

Mac, she just spent four weeks in the hands of terrorist fanatics.

I'd say bad judgment is an understatement.

Well, we weren't in her situation, Mac.

Well, maybe what she did is understandable, but it was wrong.

Criminally wrong?

Lieutenant Colonel McKenzie.

Uh -huh. What are they?

You sure?

Okay, we'll need a copy of your report.

FBI forensics pulled fingerprints from the bomb's detonator.

Any matches with Webb's list of terrorists?

Some unknowns.

One positive ID.

A ten -point match with Sergeant John Steele.

I only had a few minutes, sir. I did the best I could. Did what? Help them

assemble the bomb?

No, ma 'am. Then how'd your fingerprints get on the detonator, sir?

Two days before they tried to attack the van, sir, they left me alone with it.

The terrorist who was guarding me went up to the head.

You weren't tied up.

I was eating, sir.

My wrists were tied together, but I could move my hands.

The whole bomb wasn't there, but enough of it.

I tried to set it off.

But I didn't have time to hook up the detonator. You tried to kill yourself.

And them, sir.

Problem was, they caught me.

I didn't hear them coming.

They were playing a loud Arnold Schwarzenegger video in the next room.

They played a different one each night.

Or one of the Die Hard movies.

They cheered at the terror.

So what happened then?

They beat me, sir.

Again.

This time I pretended to crack, to convince them to allow me to help them

into the harbor.

Lieutenant. I'm finishing it right now, sir.

No, different topic.

The colonel's marriage.

Yes, sir.

Did I miss the engagement party?

No, sir, there wasn't one, except for the toast that you made in the

room. Oh.

Right, right.

Well, isn't there normally one? Yes, sir. And I would be the one to throw it,

but our apartment's way too small and there's crayon on the walls.

So have it somewhere else.

Well, I didn't want to impose on anyone, sir.

Well, nonsense.

We're all a family here.

Well, it's not too late, sir.

Then let's do it.

Okay, sir.

I'll let everybody know.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you for what?

Lieutenant. I mean, you've got to admit, Mac, everything we throw at her, she

throws right back.

Suicide, like that was the obvious choice? I might believe her if she

damn casual about it. You really think she helped them make a bomb?

Patty Hearst robbed a bank with the Symbionese Liberation Army. Why would

need her?

You think they can't find their own bomb makers? Maybe he was taking time off to

catch up on his Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis movies.

How hard do you think it is to find a copy of Die Hard 3 and Chabela Lee?

Tyler, do I have a caterer in my Rolodex?

Plenty of soirees, sir.

Apparently, I volunteered to host an engagement party for the Colonel.

That's very nice of you, Admiral.

I've never done this before.

Should we decorate?

We, sir?

I'm there, Admiral.

How about crepe paper bells?

Why don't you write that down?

A large arrangement for the table.

Calla lily, sir?

Not unless there are plenty of double suicide, Tyner.

White roses and irises.

Yes, sir.

What would be the theme of this party?

Engagement.

Engaging. People engaging in conversation.

Having an engaging time.

No theme.

I already talked to the Navy and the police. My uncle was sick, or I would

been to the boat.

What exactly was wrong with your uncle? I took him to the hospital.

My uncle and me, we have been doing business with the Navy for 15 years.

I am not a terrorist.

I have a certificate of commendation from the 5th Fleet.

And the fleet does business with you because of your excellent selection?

The biggest selection from Beirut to Bombay, and I have more in the back.

do you like, huh?

I don't think this is even in the theaters yet. I have everything.

You like a love story?

Sandra Bullock, Meg Ryan?

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis. I have everyone, even Hudson Hope.

We'd like to take a look at your rental record.

Why? Why not?

We're going to send these jackets to the lab and have them dusted for prints.

What fingerprints?

See if they match fingerprints we found on the bomb.

You say my customers made the bomb? The bombers watched these videos. How many

other stores carry Commander?

Everybody runs my video. How do I know what else they do?

You know.

Why else would your uncle get sick on that day?

If there is a problem.

I lose my Navy contract?

Pal, if you're involved in this, you're looking at 20 to 30 years in prison. How

are the prisons around here, anyway?

All right.

I rented them to the girl.

What girl?

An American.

She came in two, three times with some men. Arabs with Saudi accents.

The last time she warned me, don't go to the vents.

She warned you, not the men.

They were not here with her.

The last time she came in by herself.

Where were the men?

Maybe in a car, out front.

Is that another way out?

Yes. Why?

You were alone in a video store. You didn't even attempt to escape?

I couldn't, ma 'am. Why not? There was a back door. The terrorists were outside

in a car. Their weapons were trained on me. You were duty -bound to try,

Sergeant. Then who would have stopped them, ma 'am?

If I had escaped, they would have just changed their target and killed who

how many people. So which is it? You couldn't escape or you didn't want to?

Both.

Has it ever even occurred to you that you did something wrong here?

I don't believe I did, ma 'am.

Sergeant, you said you were beaten.

Yes, sir.

Did anything else happen to you?

They made some comments, sir.

One of them touched me inappropriately.

Was it that difficult?

Yes, sir.

But I tried to keep my head and do the right thing. Sergeant, declining an

opportunity to escape and participating in an attack on a United States naval

destroyer cannot be considered the right thing.

Is there anything else you want to tell us, Sergeant?

Were you terrorized, traumatized?

I knew what I was doing, sir.

Sergeant, sometimes a hostage starts to identify with their captor. It's called

the Stockholm Syndrome.

I do not identify with people who want to blow up American ships, sir.

Is it possible, Sergeant, that you developed feelings for one of the

You were with him alone for a month. Ma 'am, I do not date people who want to

blow up American ships.

I already told you why I did what I did. We understand you were in a difficult

position, but this will go much easier if you make a full statement now with

every extenuating circumstance.

What will go easier, ma 'am? You could face charges.

Ma 'am, I am not a criminal, and I'm not going to say I was traumatized or

hypnotized or in love with a terrorist when I wasn't.

With all due respect, I did my duty as a United States Marine, and I'm proud of

it, and I'd do it again.

One of my own people?

Come on, that's hard to believe. There's a clear pattern of concealing

information. Helping a terrorist get into the harbor, her fingerprints on the

bomb, her opportunity to escape.

Sergeant Steele didn't mention any of these things until we uncovered them.

then she did offer explanations.

She always has an explanation, but by her own admission, she helped terrorists

get a bomb next to an American ship. Wait a minute. With criminal intent?

Come on, what the hell would her motive be?

Maybe that you rejected her application for officer training.

All right.

What do you propose?

That you refer the charges to Admiral Dawkins for an investigative hearing.

I gather that you would be interested in handling the prosecution of this

Article 32.

Yes, sir. How about you, Commander?

Sir, I feel that Sergeant Steele was in way over her head.

A vulnerable woman in a terrible situation.

A United States Marine in a terrible situation.

I'd like to defend her, Colonel.

All right.

I'll request the hearing.

Secretary, shortly after the coal explosion, formed a Navy Marine Corps

force on anti -terrorism and force protection.

And that task force is spearheading our efforts to affect this sea chain, taking

force protection to a new level.

If it's working in advance, it wouldn't still be floating.

We have learned.

A lot that we need to focus on. What does it take for a terrorist to be

successful? Capture Marine MP feeding information doesn't hurt.

You think Sergeant Steele's a traitor?

What are you getting from your people?

They're running an Article 32. What about yours?

We're making inroads into the terrorist group.

How do you do that?

Carefully, Admiral.

Very carefully. We must not forget that the tragedy that befell Cole was not the

product of carelessness or folly.

but a deliberate attack by a determined adversary who was willing to give their

life. And now we have seen that the coal attack was not their last attempt.

Corporal Hasler, how long have you known Sergeant Steele? About eight months, ma

'am, ever since I joined the MEU.

Are the two of you friends?

Yes, ma 'am. Did you have conversations with her while she was preparing her

application for MESEP?

Yes, ma 'am.

She was very excited about the idea of being an officer.

She felt she had a lot to offer the Marine Corps. Such as what, Corporal?

she's smart, ma 'am. She was studying all the time.

She always had a positive attitude, seeking extra duty, extra

Even after her MESA application was rejected?

That set her back a little, ma 'am.

Her father was a retired Sergeant Major.

She wanted to be a good Marine for him.

Did this affect her attitude toward the Marine Corps?

I think she just felt undervalued, ma 'am.

Like they didn't appreciate her potential?

So she had a grudge against them.

I believe she would have liked to show the Marine Corps that they made a

mistake, ma 'am.

Thank you.

Corporal, didn't Sergeant Steele tell you that what she really wanted was to

serve in combat?

Yes, sir.

She thought that would show the people what she could do.

Did you see her the night she was kidnapped, Corporal? Yes, sir.

I was with her in the duty vehicle when we heard the explosion.

She told me to get back to the base.

She took off running.

Toward the explosion?

Yes, sir. To engage enemies of the United States?

Objection assumes fact, not in evidence. Nobody could have known who was

detonating the explosives.

Sustained.

Corporal, were you and Sergeant Steele briefed about the potential terrorist

activity? Yes, sir.

So when you heard the explosions, who did you think was involved?

My first assumption was terrorists, sir.

And Sergeant Steele ran in the direction of the explosion?

That's right, sir.

Does that sound like somebody with a grudge against the Marine Corps?

Objection calls for a conclusion.

Sustained.

Sergeant may not have been happy, sir, but she was still a damn good Marine.

Thank you, Corporal.

Yes, sir.

Redirect.

Corporal, did Sergeant Steele want to be transferred to a combat unit?

That wouldn't have been possible, ma 'am. Because females aren't allowed in

combat. That's right, ma 'am. So to prove her worth, she had to find a

outfit to fight for, didn't she?

Rejection.

Withdrawn.

No further questions.

Commander, if it weren't for the help Sergeant Steele gave the terrorists,

they have been able to get so close to your ship?

I don't see how, ma 'am. They would have been intercepted by one of our patrol

boats a lot sooner than they were. At the entrance to your section of the

harbor? Yes, ma 'am. If they had been detected, would they have been able to

escape to open sea?

Jackson calls for a conclusion.

Commander Stinson helped design the harbor's security plans. I'm calling for

opinion as an expert.

I'm going to allow this.

Objection overruled.

They would have been caught, ma 'am. Our boats top out at above 30 knots.

But they did enter your section of the harbor. So how did a small boat loaded

with explosives get within a few feet of a Navy destroyer?

It approached it during a replenishing operation.

Aren't service boats inspected by picket boats before they enter your exclusion

zone? Yes, ma 'am, but we only had one picket boat out at the time, and it had

stopped to refuel.

So there was a gap in your security zone?

For a short time, ma 'am. The terrorist boat held back until exactly the right

moment. Would Sergeant Steele have known about these security measures,

Commander? She's the only one on that boat who could have, ma 'am.

Nothing further.

I gather, Commander, that you consider Sergeant Steele's plan to help the

terrorists approach your ship misguided. Honestly, sir, I don't even think it

was credible.

It worked, didn't it?

We got lucky, sir.

Was it luck that you were standing watch, Commander? Was it luck that you

picket boat in the water? Was it luck that your people did their jobs exactly

the way they had been trained?

No, sir.

No. Thank you.

What a kid, man.

You're getting married.

Was something wrong?

No. Life's never been better.

How's Brumby and Brumby? It's great. I had two clients come in off the street.

A plan to case against the commanding officer and a young lieutenant accused

dereliction of duty.

Made it hold?

Fine.

Unless Harry has told you something that I don't know.

About what?

About Sarah?

You know, but sometimes I think... I don't know how she really feels about

this.

Mick, as far as I know, she's fine.

Is this why you wanted to have a beer with me?

No.

But I want you to be my best man.

You do?

Are you willing to stand up for me, Lieutenant?

I would be honored.

Barkey, two shots of tequila.

What are you doing?

Wow. This is so neat, Mick.

You know, I feel like your best man. You know, the fact that you're sharing your

feelings and trust me.

Mick, I won't say anything to anybody.

Bud tells me everything.

Not kind of, Gary.

No, not most of the time.

Except...

What? Other women?

Actually, it's men.

Men?

Bud?

Space men.

Bud is deeply involved in the search for intelligent life in the universe.

Well, I would settle for a little intelligent life right here at home.

It's harm giving you trouble.

Did I say that?

Harm gives everybody trouble.

Look, Harriet, I know that you and Harm are close.

Close? If it hadn't been for Bud, Harm would have come after me a long time

Not.

Renee, you are an irresistible force.

He is an immovable object. Not for you.

You're different.

You're spontaneous, and you're fun, and he's... Not?

Once a day, they'd come into my room and hold a rifle to my head.

Nobody moved for five minutes.

Felt like hours.

Then I'd hear the empty chamber click.

They thought I would crack.

I thought I could use that.

Use it how?

Make them think I had cracked.

Pretend to help them. Did you help them, Sergeant, because you resented the

Marine Corps?

No, sir.

You didn't help them because you felt the Marine Corps had judged you unfairly

in rejecting your application.

I didn't help them, sir. I got them killed.

Did you concoct the plan, Sergeant, because you wanted to prove to the

Corps that you were worthy of the commissioning program?

I don't know.

Maybe that was part of it.

When your commanding officer refused to endorse your application for the

commissioning program, didn't he tell you that he needed more time to see how

you operated?

Yes, sir.

Maybe I did want to prove myself.

But I honestly thought that the best thing to do was to lead the terrorists

a trap.

A trap to put a bomb near the hull of the USS Vance.

I realized it was risky, sir.

But at the time, it seemed like the only thing to do.

Thank you, Sergeant.

Sergeant,

didn't you create a very real possibility of repeating what happened

Cole? Everybody knew about the Cole, ma 'am.

Security was adjusted way upward. You wanted to be an officer, so you risked

lives of 300 sailors.

I was trying to save lives, ma 'am.

If we weren't intercepted, I was going to set off the bomb myself.

So plan A was to get the terrorists captured by putting them inside a

security zone, and plan B was to get them and yourself killed despite the

that they were armed and you weren't? Yes, ma 'am.

Do you still think that was the wisest course of action?

There was no other way to stop them, ma 'am.

If I fought them openly, they would have just shot me and dumped my body in the

desert. What good would that have done? I'm not saying you weren't in a bad

situation. I could see how ruthless they were, ma 'am.

They beat me for no reason.

One of them would talk to me in English, say they were going to rape me and slit

my throat.

Did he rape you?

No, ma 'am.

But every day he came into my room.

zipping and unzipping his pants.

One night, he ignited a lighter and held it towards my breath.

When my blouse caught fire, he held my hands behind my back so I couldn't

put it out.

Then he poured Coca -Cola on it.

He thought that was funny.

Excuse me, Colonel.

We're going to stop here for a brief recess.

Yes, sir.

What is it, Webb?

I need to talk to Sergeant Steele now. Slow down.

We have a lead on the group that kidnapped the sergeant and attacked the

They're planning another bombing very soon.

We just don't know where.

Sergeant, this is Clayton Webb. He's with the CIA.

Have a seat, please. Sergeant?

Did you ever see this man?

I don't think so, sir.

He goes by the name of Abu Hassan.

He was behind your kidnapping and the attack on the Vance.

I don't know him, sir.

His group is an offshoot of Jamaa Islamiyah.

We have a man inside who reports that they're going to strike again in the

48 hours.

Where? We don't know.

Did these people ever discuss their plans with you?

No, never.

Except their plan to blow up the vans.

Do you recall anything that might help us?

They weren't real talkative around me, sir.

Did they ever mention anything personal?

Their homes, their schools?

One man did, sir.

He was only around for the first couple of weeks.

He used to bring me my meals.

And then what happened?

I think he left to visit his mother in the hospital.

This wasn't in the transcript of your debriefing.

It didn't seem important, sir.

He said she had a bad heart.

You two talked about your families?

Basic hostage training, ma 'am.

Try to establish a human connection with your captors.

And you did establish a human connection.

With him, yes, sir.

He told me he used to sneak out to make phone calls to his mother.

He wasn't supposed to do that.

Sergeant, do you think if you saw him again, he might tell you more things?

Webb. Are you forgetting about her first go -around with these people?

Do either of you have a better idea? You said you had a man on the inside. Why

would you need Sergeant Steele?

Our man disappeared last night.

Sir, whatever you want me to do, I'll do it.

Colonel, in that case, I assume you'd drop all the proceedings against

Steele?

In exchange for trying to infiltrate a gang of terrorist fanatics. Only seems

fair, sir.

Sir, this is too dangerous.

Don't you think they might be suspicious when she shows up? We'll put out a

story that she escaped from custody.

You'll send out people looking for her. When I was with the terrorists, sir, I

made them think I was helping them voluntarily.

It's natural. If I escaped, I'd go to them. Colonel, the sergeant is still

suspicion. How do we know if she goes to them and she won't actually be helping

them? I received a preliminary report from Colonel Dubin.

At this point in the hearing, he's inclined not to recommend a court

Doesn't feel there's enough evidence to support your opinion.

I'll agree with that judgment.

And you?

Sir, I'd like to talk to the sergeant.

Sir, I want to do this.

It's your decision, sergeant, but this is insane.

It's a suicide mission. I can handle it, sir.

You can handle it. The CIA's operative is lying dead somewhere. You understand

that? I don't care, sir. You don't care?

You don't care if you live or die?

No, sir.

Nobody is that brave, sergeant.

I fooled him once before, sir. Did you?

Or did you help them because you were scared?

No, sir.

You were alone, outnumbered, unarmed, waking every day to the threat of

rape, death.

I survived it, sir. I think you survived it, Sergeant, because you helped them.

Anybody would have been scared.

If you don't believe me, sir, then why am I volunteering for this mission?

Because you want me to believe you. You want everybody to believe you.

You're trying to convince yourself.

You're right about one thing, sir.

The decision is mine.

I'm going in.

But do you ever find it hard to understand women?

There have been times, yes.

Once.

Maybe twice a day.

Do you think we're hard to understand?

Are you serious, Mick?

Half the time I can't understand a word you're saying.

Read me.

Fight. A good game of footy.

I mean, the things we want are simple. They're easily grasped.

Why can't you be as clear?

Listen, Mick.

I know that Harriet loves me.

But I also know that she kind of thinks I'm a bit of a doofus.

But she never says it out loud.

Maybe once or twice. But she tries not to.

What they don't say, Mick, maybe we don't want to hear.

What are you drawing inside?

I don't know.

But I do know that Sharon McKenzie in two months is going to marry you and

you'll have the rest of your life to figure out what else is on her mind.

Do you know what I worry about?

I have never loved a man before.

Harm is your first time? No.

No, my first time was in the back seat of an orange Chevrolet.

But what happens if harm never wants to get...

Married? Married?

Since when did marriage become such a dirty word? People get married all the

time. I did it. You did it. I did it. You did. And even Max said a date.

God, I pray every day Brumby doesn't get hit by a bus. That would be terrible.

Beyond.

Terrible. I mean, do you know, this is... This is the first time I've ever

dressed to please a man.

I mean, love.

Love turns everyone into a... Ah!

Oh, I don't know.

I think some people can carry it off with diggity.

What's the range on her signal beacon?

Two miles, but we're never going to be more than 100 feet from her.

That's if everything goes right.

What happens when they find out she's wearing a transponder? It's half an inch

long and inside her belt buckle under her robe.

How sure are you he'll show?

Somebody's been using that phone to call a 64 -year -old woman at King Faisal

Hospital in Riyadh who's waiting for a heart transplant.

Lots of nice Arab men call their mothers.

Still waiting for a better suggestion.

Well, I say if he shows up, we grab him. Harm, you're working for me tonight.

Do what I say.

Margie, we have a caller.

35, mustache.

Anything from Sergeant Steele?

Nothing.

If he shows up, she could freeze, you understand that?

All she needs to do is drop her napkin if she sees the guy.

Shouldn't be that hard.

She's made a friend.

Napkin? No.

Look, Webb, this is a bad idea. Let's get her in. Harm, relax.

You might just be trying to pick her up.

She's going inside.

Door to the left.

What's back there?

Bathroom, kitchen, storeroom. She's in the hallway. She's in the hallway.

Where's her friend?

He's leaving.

What's she doing in the hallway?

I don't know.

Waiting for the restroom?

This doesn't feel right.

I'm going in.

The hell are you doing?

Not here.

But this is.

So, do you think she took it off, or somebody took it off for her? Morning.

Well, here's the mastermind now. Let's ask him.

We've gone to threat condition delta on every target within 200 miles, but it's

a target -rich environment.

We have the naval facility, three ports, embassies, military housing, oil

companies, an American trade show at the Hilton, archaeologists from Cornell

excavating in the desert, and the vice president's wife is touring a

kindergarten. What are you doing about Sergeant Steelweb? I've got the cavalry

combing the country, calling in favors.

I've already compromised one agent in the local police because he was looking

too hard. Well, hey, whatever you do, don't endanger any of your people.

Harm, I didn't put her out there because I didn't like her haircut.

There was a reason. She wasn't competent, Webb.

You said she was. You said your people wouldn't lose her. Why do you think she

left her belt?

Either somebody searched her and figured it out, or she was afraid somebody was

going to search her and figure it out.

Or, as I believe you suggested, she really did go over to the other side.

No. All she had to do was drop her damn napkin.

We could have followed him.

At least then we...

Well, I guess that's it then.

Thanks.

30 kids from the American school were at an archaeological site a mile down the

road.

That's where they were headed. So the bomb went off prematurely. Nothing else

around here except the bombers and the van.

Probably find pieces of it in Abu Dhabi.

Do we know yet who was in the van?

A Bahrain policeman saw them down the road.

He said two Arab men and a Western woman appeared to be engaged in a struggle.

She set it off.

Looks like it. She knew where they were headed and she set off the bomb.

They used her.

And we used her.

What are you going to tell them?

The truth.

Their daughter died a hero.
