at our five o 'clock.

I'm taking her down.

You ready to go, boys?

Jody! Jody!

Colonel Concord, did you have an appointment?

No.

Is he an attorney?

May I ask how you got in here, ma 'am?

Yeah, they gave me a visitor's card.

What are you doing?

You think I'm dangerous?

Can I see your pass?

My apologies, Miss Reese.

I'm an attorney.

How can I be sure?

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean that.

Is there any way that I can be of assistance?

My husband was a SEAL.

His commander visited me last night and told me that Jody was one of two unit

members that died during an operation inside Afghanistan.

Oh, I'm sorry.

He thought I might have probate issues, recommended a legal assistance attorney.

I called, but they couldn't find him, so I came in.

They're one floor below us.

I've been down there. They're overloaded. I had trouble just getting

check me in.

Let me see if I can find a junior attorney who might be of some help.

Thank you.

Have a seat.

Let me get your jacket.

I'll be a moment.

Hey,

go Navy.

Hey, you're going to speak at our assembly today, yeah?

Son, you cut the young lady off.

Oh.

Well, maybe there's some space down the street.

No, why don't you give her this?

I'm in already.

But it's the right thing to do.

Hey, ease up, man.

Look, I totally support what you're doing. You know what I mean? I'm signing

as soon as I'm out of here.

How long do you think you're going to last?

What? Navy doesn't judge its people by how many flags they wave.

They have to show some character, strong values.

Hey, my father was a squid.

He was in the Gulf. Then he knows what I'm talking about.

Were you there?

No. Then screw you.

And your lectures.

Watch your mouth, son.

Frickin' desk jockey.

And why didn't they send up the fighting man?

Fine. I'll move myself.

Yeah?

What are you going to do now?

I'll talk to your father.

And the

moment

I get the signatures, I'll contact you.

Haven't seen you all morning.

Hi, Mac. This is Lieutenant Colonel McKenzie, Mariel Reese.

Hi. Hello. I was at your office earlier looking for help, but fortunately he

came along.

Okay.

Congratulations.

Thank you. When did you do?

Three days ago.

Thank you again.

It's my pleasure.

Nice meeting you. You too.

Client of yours?

Her husband died in a special off. I'm helping her with the probate.

You're handling it well.

Yeah. You could have handed her off to legal assistance.

What would you have done?

I would have walked her to the car.

Excuse me.

The high -ranking naval official who struck the student... The student who

witnessed Admiral Chegg... James Oliphant, the student in question,

slap was unprovoked.

Admiral Chegwitten could not be reached for comment, but the Navy's Office of

Information has told CNN that the incident is under review at the highest

levels. They all have it, A .J.

Secretaries?

What happened?

He spit on me.

He denies it.

There was a girl in a car. She didn't see it, and it's not on the tape.

Well, they were at the wrong angle, and what were they doing there with a video

camera? They're making a documentary about their senior year.

They were on their way to listen to you speak at the time.

I want your request for retirement immediately.

I can refuse to comply.

I already memoed the CNO.

He called me back and suggested the possibility of a flag mast.

Your answer?

Colorful. Just in one of those moods, sir.

So am I.

Hey, where were you?

Getting us breakfast.

Ah, making us breakfast.

What'd you get?

Oh,

nice.

You're not in prison anymore.

What's that?

Oatmeal. The rab's specialty.

That's prison food.

Nice prison, huh?

So, where shall I live?

You know, Sergei, you really don't need to be in a big hurry to do this. I mean,

I'm in no big rush to get you out of here, brother.

No offense, brother, but there's not enough room here, even for a Russian.

You know, I've been giving this some thought, and there's a

Russian enclave in Arlington, Virginia.

I thought we could start there. You know, it would help you to ease into

You can go into work late?

Family business.

Mrs. Reese, I'm not at the office right now. I just got a call from an Army

staff judge advocate. Says he's investigating my husband's SEAL team and

to see me.

Why would they be involved?

Well, the Army is overseeing special ops in Afghanistan, ma 'am. Did he say what

he was investigating?

No. Can you come with me?

Mrs. Reese, I'm not really authorized to get involved in this. Do it

unofficially.

Why don't I give him a call?

I need someone there with me.

Please.

It's the last time I'll ask for anything.

Sir? I'm otherwise occupied, Colonel. We know about the Flagmaster.

You and the entire military community.

I'd like to participate in your defense.

Colonel, you will not place yourself between the second of its crosshairs.

I'll be representing myself.

Admiral, I believe you need a partner, someone to provide feedback, maybe even

an opposing argument.

Why? Because you're being driven by emotion and you'll lose.

Sir.

What's your opinion of the slap?

I think it was ill -advised, sir.

Then what are... I also believe it was warranted.

Do you have a plan?

No, sir.

And come up with one, Colonel.

My wife was a week and a half late with our second

child. Apparently there's a salad at a restaurant in Georgetown that encourages

labor. I've been there twice, sir. No luck.

But thanks for the thought.

You're welcome.

Colonel, may I ask why you've called Mrs. Reese here, sir?

I felt she should be advised as to an investigation that I conducted for

Worsdale. On my recommendation, the general has authorized a court -martial

Lieutenant Glenn Teague of Bravo One, your husband's OIC.

He was Jody's best friend.

Well, what are the charges, sir?

Violation of orders and willful dereliction of duty.

During the mission, they came under attack.

Petty Officer Tommy Madonna was wounded.

Then... During the retrieval. Excuse me. Colonel, what retrieval? They went back

for Petty Officer Medano.

Against order.

Why? Had the Petty Officer been left behind?

Not intentionally.

He fell as he was being pulled up.

Unfortunately, he didn't survive.

Excuse me.

Are you saying the unit defied orders to go back for a body?

And lost another man in the process.

Your husband, Mrs. Reese.

Colonel Boyette will be prosecuting for the Army.

I'm surprised, Admiral. I really thought this would be handled in -house.

If the Special Operations Command were composed and sealed it in mind, the

Army's taking issue with every aspect of Lieutenant T's decision.

Signing you the defense, that'll be all.

Sir, I've been spending some time with Mrs. Reese, helping her with her

and, well, we've developed a bit of a relationship.

So, given the circumstances... Commander, I have no one else available,

you're up.

This is going to be awkward.

Commander, do you support the seal code?

Absolutely. I would think so, considering your rescue at sea.

I'm not arguing, sir.

Then go to Mrs. Reese and explain that you are bound by duty.

Aye, sir.

Admiral.

Sir. What is it, Commander?

Your mask is tomorrow.

I'll survive. Thank you for your thought.

Is there anything I can do, sir?

You can defend that field to the extent I would.

Aye.

Hey, Jack.

Emma.

This is Lieutenant Colonel McKenzie. She'll be representing me.

Welcome, Colonel. Pleasure, sir. Please, be seated.

Familiar with flag masks?

I can tell you what I know, Admiral. Please do.

Rules of evidence don't apply. It's non -judicial and informal.

There's no prosecuting attorney.

You'll ask questions of the witnesses and hopefully allow me to cross

But your final judgment will be based not on proof beyond a reasonable doubt,

but on a preponderance of the evidence 51 % or greater.

That's very good, Counselor. So if you're ready, let's move on.

Aye, aye, sir.

The secretary suggested Commander Lindsay act as my advisory counsel.

Sir. Commander.

Good to see you again, Admiral. Colonel.

Would you excuse us for a moment, sir?

Of course.

Sir,

does the commander still believe you're responsible for his lack of advancement?

Strap yourself in, Colonel.

This is not the Army -Navy game.

It is a serious proceeding that requires objectivity. I trust you understand

this and accept the incumbent responsibility.

The government will prove that Lieutenant Glenn Teague, through his

obedience to the seal code of never leaving a man behind, disobeyed a direct

order and in doing so sacrificed the life of a unit member.

Thank you.

Items to consider.

Bravo 1 completed its mission prior to the rescue of their comrade.

Chief Reese, the SEAL who died in the retrieval, fully supported the decision

go back.

And in going back, Lieutenant Teague and his men were in fact serving the

highest ideals of the armed forces.

Have you spoken to her yet, Lieutenant?

No, sir.

This would be a good time.

I prefer not to, sir.

Lieutenant Teague, if it's because you're feeling guilty.

My prerogative, gentlemen.

Well, then I will.

Commander, could you please tell her I hold nothing against her for being upset

with me?

The lieutenant would like you to know that he has no hard feelings.

I guess he hasn't taken into account that I do.

Well, I'm surprised you're here at all, given your condition.

Are you referring to my grief?

There are people you can talk to about that, Muriel.

Sandy McDonald's husband is gone, too.

Commander, unfortunately, he's the reason we buried two bodies.

Look, I'm sure if the lieutenant could turn back time... He'd do exactly the

same thing.

It's stamped into his brain.

Petty Officer Gandy, are you a member of SEAL Unit Bravo 1?

I am, sir. Can you explain the circumstances under which Petty Officer

and Chief Reese died?

We were assigned special recon of Al -Qaeda guerrillas, sir.

We were in the process of finishing up when we came under fire from the ridge

above.

This is Santa Rafa.

We're under heavy fire.

Wet media extraction.

We'll provide cover, over.

Hey, do it, move!

No,

no!

Hook him up! Hook him up!

Go, go, go, go!

How far did Petty Officer Medano fall?

About 55 feet, sir.

What happened?

A stray bullet probably popped his snap link, sir.

Did you go back for him right away?

Not at that point, sir. We were being pulled up at the time and we were

scheduled a rendezvous with a ranger platoon.

When did it come up?

After we briefed the rangers, sir.

Lieutenant T got us together, told us now that the mission was complete he

wanted to go back.

No one disagreed.

Did the others know that the Petty Officer was dead?

I made a point of it, sir, just so they were clear on what they were about to

do. Did the lieutenant radio for permission from Special Operations

Central? Yes, sir.

They denied our request.

Did they say why?

According to Lieutenant Teague, they felt it was too risky.

They were concerned that his body would already be in the enemy's possession or

they would use it to coax us back.

Was the lieutenant upset by their response?

We all were, sir.

Who decided to go ahead with the retrieval mission?

Lieutenant Teague, sir.

What happened next, son?

I mean, I felt bad about it, sir.

So I went to the girl in the other car.

Her name is Karen.

And she even said it wasn't that big a deal.

Why push it? All you had to do was back out and let her in.

Well, I was already out of the car, sir.

And it's not like I didn't try to help her find another space.

How'd the Admiral react?

Kept pushing me to do it, sir.

Did that annoy you?

Yes, sir.

And I was like, you know, back off already.

Were you angry?

I was, sir.

I mean, I love the Navy.

I was really excited that he was there.

And here he is, you know, treating me like a criminal.

Did you spit at him?

No, sir.

Did you provoke him?

No, sir.

Thank you.

Mr. Oliphant. Excuse me, Colonel, I have another question.

Did Admiral Chegwidden provoke you in any way?

Yes, sir.

I had flags on my car.

He accused me of being a phony patriot.

Anything else?

Well, when I wouldn't back down, he threatened to tell my dad about it.

Were you afraid how your father would react?

My father died in the service, sir.

I was the first one to take a look at Petty Officer Madonna's body, sir.

He was dead.

And it was because of the fall.

It sure looked that way, sir.

How did Chief Reese die?

He was the last one in the helo, sir.

Took a round to the back.

And what was the reaction?

Silence, sir.

Wasn't a time for words.

Except for Chief Reese, who exchanged a few with Lieutenant Teague before he

passed on.

Did you or anyone disagree with Lieutenant Teague's decision to go back?

There was never a question about not doing it, sir.

We're sealed.

But didn't you initially extract under heavy fire? Now you had only four able

members. Didn't you suspect that the enemy might still be there when you

returned? I regret we lost Chief Reese, sir.

But we all knew what was at stake.

More or less alive.

Yes, sir.

Violation of direct orders.

Yes, sir. All so you could fulfill your obligation to the field code of

behavior. That code is what keeps us united, sir.

With it, there's no question we'll be there for each other.

Were you there for your superiors who expected you to act in accordance with

their orders?

No, sir, but I... Were you there for your country by sacrificing a good

in the retrieval of a dead one?

Objection. Argumentative.

Sustained.

No more questions.

Eddie Obstigandi, isn't the point that a strong unit is a proficient unit, and a

proficient unit serves the interests of everyone?

Yes, sir.

Lieutenant Teague also made the point that it was important to get Petty

Madonna's body home to his wife and children. Yes, sir. He was afraid of

might happen if the body were left on the canyon floor.

He was, sir. He was afraid Petty Officer Madonna's body would be skinned and put

on display.

And where's Petty Officer Madonna's body now?

In Arlington Cemetery, sir.

Where his family can visit him.

Thank you.

Redirect, Your Honor.

Petty Officer...

When you were discussing going back, what was the general feeling about your

disobeying orders?

I'm sorry, sir?

Were there concerns?

Well, we weren't really focusing on that, sir.

Did you discuss it at all?

No, sir.

I don't believe we did.

Are you saying it wasn't important to you?

Petty officer?

No, sir.

Not at that moment.

And in a new development, James Oliphant, the young man slapped by the

Judge Advocate General, revealed on his way back to his classes that his father

had given his life for his country in Operation Desert Storm.

Admiral Chegwood has not yet made a statement on the issue.

but pressure builds on the Pentagon to act on what is quickly becoming its

greatest public relations debacle.

Please.

So they're looking for you to say something.

And what would that be, Colonel?

You can tell them you appreciate their support.

I'm embarrassed by it. But, sir... I was sent to represent the military to high

school students terrorized by world events.

Instead, I presented the image of naval officers as impulsive, overly aggressive

bullies. None of you would have slapped that kid. And don't tell me you weren't

mortified by the fact that that kid's father...

was a fallen veteran.

Something you didn't know at the time. It makes no difference. It changes

everything. It changes your strategy. You didn't even cross -examine him. It

would have made us look insensitive, sir.

Absolutely.

So now what?

Well, Admiral Drake was kind enough to give us time to respond.

Translation, retire.

I won't let you do that, sir.

Colonel.

You have nothing to work with.

There are other avenues, sir.

You honestly see a way out of this?

I will, sir.

Talk with us, Admiral. Why'd you do it, sir?

The nation would like to hear it in your own words, sir.

What sort of example does this set for the use of America? James Oliphant says

the flap was intentional, sir. Ms.

Reese?

I'm A .J. Chickwood.

I know who you are.

I'm a former SEAL, and I wanted to express my deepest sympathies for your

But you support the position of my husband's senior.

Yes, ma 'am, I do.

Then we disagree.

Ma 'am, your husband's life was not wasted. He died defending the principles

this country.

And I believe he died defending the principles of his SEAL unit.

May I ask how he felt about those principles?

Jody and I disagreed about the concept of not leaving your men behind.

He believed it was his sworn duty. I believed it was peer pressure.

In what way?

Admiral, these men all liked each other.

They were extremely well trained.

They didn't need their unit leader imposing some macho dictum on them to

bonded and trusting of each other.

In the heat of battle, these principles can be challenged.

Codes are designed to provide psychological strength.

The idea that military men could even agree to defy their orders, that

indoctrinated behavior to me.

Well, without being privy to that experience... With all due respect,

have a master's degree in clinical psychology. I can experience it from

here.

May I?

Please understand I'm not trying to diminish your right to feel the way you

But I was wondering, do you believe in the basic principle of retrieving a body

for burial?

Yes.

I know what it would have meant for Danny Madonna to have buried an empty

casket.

Then I guess my question is, if your husband had been in Petty Officer

position, would you have wanted them to bring his body back to you?

Yes.

You should also ask Sandy Madonna if she would have wanted her husband to give

his life for my privilege.

Ma 'am, if there's anything I can do in any way... I'm sure you have more

pressing matters at hand.

Maybe more pressing, but certainly not more important.

You have a moment, sir?

Yes.

Sir, if you consider this inappropriate, let me know, but I thought I might be

of help.

Seems I'm unable to prevent anyone from that impulse.

Have a seat.

Have you considered addressing the media, sir?

No. May I ask why?

Because I'm unwilling to allow them to manipulate the situation anymore than

they already have.

But, sir, I think the point of such an exercise is to take control of the

situation.

And forcing your way past the microphones will only serve to quicken

curiosity, sir.

What would I say?

Tensions created by world events have affected all of us in ways we barely

recognize or understand.

It allows you to address the issues without accepting personal culpability

blaming the young man.

How would this work?

When you're ready, sir, just let me know. I'll go out and set it up.

Thank you, Commander.

You're welcome, sir.

Admiral, I've got news, sir.

Colonel, please don't use that term around me. Sorry, sir.

I know I didn't tell you I was going to do this, but after we spoke yesterday, I

initiated a conversation with Commander Lindsey.

You did?

Yes, sir.

He's authorized to speak for both the CNO and SECNAV.

How did such a mediocre officer become so powerful?

I had to guess, sir. I'd say it's because he doesn't put himself or his

on the line.

Colonel, in an ideal world, that would be a prescription for failure.

So, what came of this meeting?

I believe we reached an acceptable compromise, sir. If you agree to

apologize to James Oliphant for the incident, the flag mast and all pressure

retire will go away.

Sir?

Colonel, I was prepared to apologize the day it happened.

Why didn't you, Admiral?

Because the young man lied about it.

Are you going to turn me down, Admiral?

I'm going to consider my options.

Sir, we spent half the night ruckling that thing to the ground. I think it's

good as we can expect.

And I appreciate your efforts.

Mac, sincerely.

Have a seat.

Lieutenant, your case is wavering.

Somewhere between alive and dead.

Getting past the orders violation was never going to be easy, but now we're

forced to be both charges on the emotional issues alone.

And that will be difficult? Not if you present the members with the passion of

your convictions. These are your peers. Three have seen combat. All implicitly

understand the notion of solidarity, comradeship.

Especially in a time of war.

You need to look them in the eye, talk to them as though they were the ones you

were going back for.

We want you to take the stand.

No.

Lieutenant, if you're found guilty on both charges, you're looking at

forfeiture of pay, minimum six months' confinement.

I'm aware of that, sir.

Look, you're not helping yourself.

It has nothing to do with me, sir.

Please respect my decision.

And, Commander, if you will please excuse me.

You're excused.

What don't we have, bud?

An effective spokesman, convincing motive for disobeying orders.

And we've got to come up with a better way of arguing why a man would sacrifice

his life for a body.

What about recon data? Is there any indication opposing forces have moved

None available, sir.

We suggested Bravo 1 assume a less hostile response when they showed up to

retrieve the body. Why would they, sir?

What about GPS coordinates?

Actually, sir, there is a positioning difference between the mission and

retrieval. Maybe the Al -Qaeda were transporting Madonna's body.

How else do you explain the body being moved?

Sir?

Petty Officer Gandy, was Petty Officer Madonna alive before he fell?

According to Chief Reese, yes, sir. And later, when you examined him aboard the

Gila? He was dead, sir. You testified earlier you believed he died as a result

of the fall.

That's right, sir. How do you know?

It was 55 feet, sir. That's an assumption, Petty Officer.

It's a pretty good one, sir.

Defense Exhibit A, Your Honor.

Petty Officer McDonald's autopsy report, which indicates not only internal

injuries, but significant blood loss from his wound.

I'm not sure I understand your point, sir. The government has a similar

question, Your Honor.

Enlighten us, Commander, or move on.

Defense Exhibit B, Your Honor.

A comparison of GPS positions recorded by Lieutenant Teague.

The first indicates where Petty Officer Medano fell, the second where his body

was later recovered. There's a 90 -meter difference.

Your Honor, objection.

Special Ops commands refusal to grant Lieutenant Teague's request to go back,

sir, is based on the assumption that Petty Officer Medano died in the fall.

There was evidence to suggest that he did indeed survive the fall, sir. They

crawled towards some nearby rocks to seek cover and await rescue.

Are you arguing that it's more likely Soxhead would have allowed Bravo 1 to

retrieve the Petty Officer had they known he was alive?

Yes, sir, I am. But no one knew, Your Honor, nor could they know. Hence the

code, Your Honor. The obligation to return for one's comrade must supersede

assumptions for it to be effective.

Approach.

Your Honor, this is not only speculation, it's irrelevant.

Petty Officer Madonna was dead when they found him. Had Bravo One not had to

spend valuable time trying to secure permission to return, sir, they may very

well have found him alive.

Bravo One spent valuable time pursuing their mission and briefing a platoon of

Rangers. Beyond that... No.

Colonel's right, Commander.

Petty Officer Madonna could have died during that part of the mission, which

then would mean he was dead before the unit was even in a position to go back

for him.

Your Honor, your strategy is unique, but flawed.

Back away, gentlemen.

The objection is sustained.

The witness is excused.

Enter.

Not sure it matters. I may not be here long.

I can relate to that.

So, I suppose, can every citizen in this country.

Tom, why the hell aren't we coming together?

We're not.

Well, the ads say we are.

You can get a free flag with every car wash.

I don't think it's happening.

Well, you're angry.

It colors your perspective.

How did you feel underneath that microscope?

Large.

You're not going to retire, are you?

Your boss wants me to.

Oh, well.

Well, he's scared.

Doesn't want to lose public support.

Would you slap that kid?

No, I'd have slugged him.

And yes, I would resist every effort to force me out.

Until what point?

You remember when Patton popped that GI in the field infirmary? And was relieved

of his command?

Until he was reinstated and led the Third Army to victory.

Shall I wait?

You keep fighting.

Excuse me, I was told to meet Commander Rapp here.

So was I.

I apologize for the subterfuge.

I didn't think either of you would choose to be in the same room together.

Unless I manipulated the situation.

Mrs. Reese, if you would indulge me.

Now, I know why you're not speaking to him, ma 'am, but, Lieutenant, why aren't

you talking to her?

I didn't think it was appropriate, sir.

That's what I don't understand, Lieutenant.

You and her husband were very close. You two know each other.

Why wouldn't you want to try to explain, make things better?

I didn't know how to do that, sir.

Or, Lieutenant, is it because you're afraid that you might reveal something?

That you don't want her to know.

Is that why you won't take the stand?

What is it, Glenn?

Please don't lie to me.

Does it involve Jody?

He confessed something to me just before he died.

When I handed Tommy to him, he had a tough time hooking him onto the D -ring.

He tried to do it while we were being pulled up.

But he lost his grip.

He dropped him.

I told him it wasn't his fault.

Admiral, we'd like to give you an opportunity to talk. When will you be

to make a statement? Admiral, do you have a comment on the Pentagon's

How many of you have served?

I don't know how to explain this to those who have never worn the uniform or

tried in some way to defend their country. We do that through a free

Admiral. I just slapped a boy.

The reason doesn't matter.

I responded in a way that was not consistent with the behavior of a

officer. Do you intend to apologize to him?

I'd like to apologize to everyone who's come to my aid and

had to face an irritable and noncompliant attitude.

Sir, can you elaborate on that, sir?

What do you say to the argument, Lieutenant, that military hierarchies

created to protect fighting men from wasting their efforts?

Sir, I would ask fighting men to imagine being left behind.

knowing their sacrifices were not judged worthy of their country's best efforts.

What if you're dead, Lieutenant?

Many would argue the body is nothing more than a shell for the soul.

That's the way most of our enemies treat their own, sir.

After battles, bodies are left to rot.

I wouldn't do that to roadkill.

What does it matter, Lieutenant, in the great beyond?

I believe in an afterlife, sir.

Jesus himself had to be commended to his grave before he could be resurrected.

But you disobeyed orders, Lieutenant.

To retrieve a unit member, sir.

A man who was covering my six at the time he was shot.

In fact, sir, I believe the bullet that he took was meant for me.

How could I not go back for him?

Would you do it again?

For any man wearing the uniform of this country?

Yes, sir.

Just so he can be buried? So he can be valued, sir.

Otherwise, they're just numbers in a newspaper.

But not Teddy Officer Madonna.

No, sir.

He occupied the space of his own in the land he died defending.

Cold out here, Stuart. One minute.

Starting now.

Your remarks irritated me. They were meant to.

But in response, I checked the source that I had taken for granted.

James Oliphant's father did not die in service.

He was dishonorably discharged in 89, divorced his wife shortly after.

He's living in a trailer park in Florida.

I'm leading with the story on our primetime report.

Just so you know.

Look, I don't give a damn what you think you know. You're wrong. My father was

killed in action. Naval records... Look out!

Naval records. Get the hell out of my face. You waiting long?

Just got here.

The news is good.

Fiano has dumped the flag mat.

The kid is the issue dead.

And that's it?

He, as well as the rest of the country, is assuming the kid was also lying about

the spitting.

What about your bar?

Ask him yourself.

Hi,

can I take your drink order?

Stoli on the rocks.

Bourbon straight up, please.

Same.

Accused and counsel will rise.

Will the senior member publish the findings?

Lieutenant Glenn Teague, United States Navy.

On the charge and specification of disobeying a lawful order, this court

you guilty.

On the additional charge of willful dereliction of duty, we find you not

This court is in recess. Pending sentence.

I'm in good shape, Lieutenant.

Colonel Boyette has agreed to help us argue for a punitive letter of

There should be no confinement or dismissal.

Would I be allowed to go back to the team, sir?

I think so.

It's a miracle, sir.

Ah, no, Lieutenant.

That is a miracle.
