Previously on The Code...

ALEX: Jason was stabbed
by one of his own men.

I came to ask you to
handle the case, Abe.

RAMI: It's 0913, Captain Abraham.

We are hard at work enforcing the
Uniform Code of Military Justice.

I'm aware of both the time and
our mandate, Mr. Ahmadi.

I'd like to request
that we bring the accused

to Quantico for court-martial.

I have already detailed

Major Ferry to handle the case.

I want to handle the prosecution.

Are you willing to accept co-counsel?

BAILIFF: All rise.

The accused, PFC Ian Morehead

is charged with Article 118, murder,

and Article 128, assault.

Does the defense have a plea?

Not guilty, Your Honor.

I did not treat PFC Morehead

on the night he murdered Major Hunt.

I think you did. I think
you used him to kill Jason,

because Jason knew about
all of the Marines

who came to your battalion
aid station for help,

but left it as your victims.

PRINCESS: My client wishes

to revise his plea and enter a new plea

of guilty on all charges.

I'm just sorry we didn't get
to go head-to-head.

All good things in time.

- Victor inbound. Victor inbound.
- It won't stop bleeding.

- I can't get it to stop.
- Come on, this way.

Where's Cooper?! Adler needs help.

Where's my corpsman?!

WASHINGTON: Cooper's dead, sir.

He bled out on the way back.

TEVEZ: XStat on Adler's leg and
call in for a dust-off now.

Somebody tell me what the hell
happened out there!

Convoy took too long to get across town.

- It was a turkey shoot.
- I'm aware there was an ambush,

Master Sergeant, my ears are
still ringing from the RPG.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Christie.

See that on the roof, sir?

RPG!

It was chaos, sir. We had 360 exposure.

TEVEZ: We train for chaos.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

TEVEZ: How did the enemy fighters

get inside our perimeter?

Our perimeter was compromised, sir.

How? Everyone was at their post.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

(GUNFIRE CONTINUES)

I'm taking fire on my six!

Grsezak, are you moving to contact?

Grsezak?!

I tried to raise Grsezak on my comms.

- He never responded.
- What are you talking about?

- You know exactly what I mean!
- Yeah, I tried him, too.

Grsezak, I got bad guys coming
in from the south.

- Where are you?!
- (SHOUTING CONTINUES)

That's two guys say
they never heard from you.

I was in the kill zone.
I was in that fight.

No, you weren't. I saw you, man.

You went into that building,
the one with the blue door.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

You bailed, man.

That was your first live action,

and you were UA the whole scrap.

Sergeant Grsezak,

that's Cooper, McClenahan, Okobe.

Five kids between them.

Before I write letters to their
families, I want you to tell me:

did you engage in that firefight or not?

Good morning, Captain Abraham.

It's 0812, and the wheels of
justice are spinning smoothly.

"Scales." It's "scales
of justice," Mr. Ahmadi.

Respectfully, sir, I think it can be

whatever the metaphor calls for.

And why are you giving me the
time? I'm actually early today.

Major Ferry asked me to remind
you that you're on his committee

to renegotiate the Spanish
Status of Forces Agreement.

The committee for what now?

I sent several e-mails.

I'm sure they were impeccably rendered.

As you probably know,

the conduct of Marines stationed abroad

is governed by a Status
of Forces Agreement

that our lawyers negotiate
with the host country.

We have a blanket agreement
with every country in NATO.

Why is Spain looking to renegotiate?

They want an amendment that applies
only to Marines stationed there.

Two weeks ago, Corporal Patrick Lawlor

got into a car accident
while he was on duty.

A Spanish citizen named Joaquin
Zapatero was killed in the crash.

Apparently, he was a star midfield
prospect for Atlético Madrid.

Regrettable. But, as
you said, an accident.

Corporal Lawlor was drunk, sir.

There have been protests.

Their government's asking us to amend

our Status of Forces Agreement
so Corporal Lawlor

can be tried in a Spanish court.

Of course we can't do that.

Hence the negotiation, sir.

Of course, the Spanish are well aware

that all our operations in Africa

are staged out of
bases in their territory.

And the committee to conduct
said negotiation meets when?

0800, sir. You are not, in fact, early.
You are, in fact, late.

I know what the opposite
of early is, thank you.

You really should warn me about
these things ahead of time.

TREY: We have a blanket agreement
with every country in NATO.

We can't negotiate a revision with Spain.
Ipso facto.

Oh. Pay up, everybody.

I had "ipso facto"

as the first Latin Major Ferry
would drop this week.

You can't collect if you are late,

Speaking of which, who had 0813

for Captain Abraham's arrival?

HARPER: Captain Dobbins won.

Are you supposed to dial "nine"
first with the new phones?

You had me 15 minutes late?

Glad to see the major invited
our colleagues from Defense

to join us on the committee.

MAYA: Oh, we journeyed all the way
up a single flight of stairs.

Why should the prosecuting attorneys
get to have all the "fun"?

Don't do that... Put fun
in quotes like that.

I said "fun" out loud.

You can't attribute punctuation
to the spoken word.

- So you deny "fun" was in quotes?
- Iceland.

You said we never negotiate revisions
with member states from NATO.

- What about Iceland?
- Iceland doesn't have a military.

A state of affair agreed to
by both parties

in the revision to their
Status of Forces Agreement.

Seriously, I tried "nine."
Then I tried "nine, then one."

- Who are you trying to call?
- Rawson Kiefer.

He's at the Pentagon.
He's sitting in on negotiations.

My point is: tomorrow you're
going to say "ipso facto"

to the Spanish delegation.

They're gonna say "Iceland." And then...?

(DOOR SLIDES OPEN)

Iceland has lovely volcanoes.

It also has the same population
as Pittsburgh.

That's not a precedent.

Colonel Turnbull, I didn't realize

- you were coming to this meeting.
- I'm not.

I'm here to break it up. As you were.

There has been an incident near
one of our CSLs in Kismayo.

It's been referred
as an Article 99 charge.

Article 99?

The military hasn't tried anyone
for cowardice in 15 years.

The legal term is "misbehavior
in the face of the enemy."

Captain Dobbins, senior defense
counsel has assigned you

to represent Sergeant Jared Grsezak.

He is confined to barracks
pending our investigation.

Fly over there ASAP.

- Yes, ma'am.
- On it, ma'am. Major Ferry and I

will handle the prosecution.

Did I say something wrong?

You just violated the chain of
command twice in one sentence.

I'll rephrase. If the colonel
sees fit to grant my request,

we'll handle the prosecution.

Assuming that the major,
as my department head

and nominal superior officer,
is comfortable with that

Belay the "nominal" and I'll
consider letting you go.

Granted.

Nominally.

WOMAN: Rawson Kiefer's office.

- Uh, hi.
- Yes, ma'am?

We'll call you back.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

I can't go to Africa.

What? Come on, this thing with
Spain is gonna work itself out.

It's not that. Nona's ovulating.

What are you doing here?
Go home and make a baby.

In the next few days, you know the deal.
Every month counts.

No, of course.

Take that hill, Marine. I've got this.

Actually, I'm assigning co-counsel.

You're not sending me to Africa
with the boot, are you?

You're sending me to Africa
with the boot.

HARPER: That's right, Harper Li.

Uh, yeah, I did read
To Kill a Mockingbird.

Thank you for pointing that out.

Um, can you let Suzanne know

that we need to reschedule the tasting?

I can't make it to New York this weekend.

Thank you.

(SIGHS)

- Shut up.
- Can I get a "sir" with that, maybe?

You have no idea how hard it is

to cram all this wedding stuff
into one weekend.

Even the church acts like
they're doing me a favor.

Last I checked, St. Patrick's
on Fifth Avenue was a cathedral.

Unless you and Brad are getting married

at a different St. Patrick's?

His name's Bard.

I went to the same OCS you did.

I maintain my PT scores,
and I keep myself ready

for a combat billet.

And I know that's not the same thing

as actually serving overseas,

but we can't all be
third-generation Marines.

Y'all need to get on the same page

if you're gonna try this dog together.

Dog? Grsezak straight-up told his C.O.

that he left his post
during the firefight.

Sergeant Grsezak went into that
building because there was

an Al-Shabaab militant
with an RPG on the roof.

You really plan to hang
an Article 99 charge

on the fact that we train Marines

to be decisive in combat?

I plan to hang the charge
on the fact that

three Marines are dead because
of Sergeant Grsezak's cowardice.

We plan to hang the charge.

Yes, of course, Lieutenant, we.

Cowardice. That's an easy word
to throw around,

until you remind the panel
that it comes with

a life sentence attached.

Think you can get that to fly in 2019?

Maybe we should punish Grsezak
by keelhauling.

It's been a while since
the military did that, too.

- Do you even know what keelhauling is?
- No.

But my point stands.

Captain Dobbins. Captain Abraham.

Captain Tevez. Sergeant Grsezak's C.O.

- How was the hop from Mog?
- Not bad.

This is my co-counsel, Lieutenant Li.

Lieutenant. Did you get
your typhoid vaccine

before you landed in-country? Cholera?

We had a full battery of shots.

They're giving the CCHF
booster standard now?

What happened out here, Captain?

Wish I could tell you more.

We were accompanying a convoy
of humanitarian aid

when we got ambushed.

Grsezak was seeing his first action.

He fell off radio contact.

- My team thinks he bailed.
- Do you agree with them?

No idea. I was occupied.

I just want this handled ASAP.

Morale goes south quick when
guys think there's a weak link.

Grsezak's confined in there.

Your liver feel okay, Lieutenant?

No signs of sudden failure?

My liver? No. Why?

Just checking. Enjoy your stay.

There is no vaccine for
Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever.

Congratulations, Lieutenant,
you just got hazed.

30% less gawking, maybe.

It won't be so obvious you're
on your first hop overseas.

You're the officers from Quantico?

Sergeant Grsezak,
I'm Captain Maya Dobbins.

I'm your attorney.

This is Captain Abraham
and Lieutenant Li.

They're with the prosecution.
You and I can talk in private.

What for?

I'm just gonna say
the same thing to them later.

Well, it doesn't sound like
you've got much to hide.

Why don't you tell us what happened?

It's like I said. That-that building...

the one with the blue door.

There was a militant
with an RPG on the roof,

and I went in to engage.

How did you get inside?

The door was open.

Same thing with the door to the roof.

I exchanged fire with the
militants once I got up there.

I did not abandon my squad.

I am no coward.

"Militants," plural?

I-I think there were two.

There were clotheslines
all over the roof.

Burkas drying in the sun.

Anything else you can remember?

There was, like, uh...

a prayer shrine up there.

Little statues and stuff.

A couple got hit
when I lit up the Dirties.

I don't know how you can confirm
any of that, though.

Kismayo is a hot zone.

It's not like
you can go knocking on doors.

Thank you, Sergeant Grsezak.

You can confer with your attorney.

Would you excuse me?

That's it?

We're going into Kismayo

- to check out your client's story.
- We are?

Were you listening back there?
Kismayo is hostile.

The last time the Marines stopped by,

they welcomed us with an ambush.

If this court-martial goes forward,

Lieutenant Li and I are
gonna stand in front of a panel

and call Sergeant Grsezak a coward.

I can't think
of a more serious accusation.

We have to find out what happened.

We owe it to those dead Marines.

Hell, we owe it to your client.

If you're gonna drag us back in there,

we're doing things different this time.

That humanitarian convoy
moved way too slow.

Word got out by the time we
were in the Farjano district.

That meant Al-Shabaab
could set up the ambush.

Excuse me, ma'am.

We need to rely on speed

to get in and out of the city.

My team will establish the perimeter

while you guys and your
translator do your thing.

I'm pulling everyone the
second I get nervous.

You guys do not want to be left
behind in the Farjano district.

WASHINGTON: Ma'am, you going
in that building, right?

This is Grimace. He's
handy in a tight space.

Thanks.

Christie.

You're my eyes on the roof.

But if it comes down to it,
you spot for O'Toole.

CHRISTIE: On it, sir.

HARPER: This is the building
Sergeant Grsezak described.

We should head in. Lieutenant?

Translate for me.

Excuse me, sir.
We're sorry to make a scene.

We're hoping to get into this building.

(SPEAKING ARABIC)

What do you see, Lieutenant Li?

It's more what I don't see.

Sergeant Grsezak
said the rooftop was strung

with clotheslines.

She's right, Abe.

There are no easily removable

lengths of twine anywhere up here.

I don't see any bullet holes
in the concrete.

I see plenty of damage.

Seriously, Captain? Those nicks look
like they came from stray rounds?

I see damage. It wouldn't be appropriate

for me to speculate what caused it.

HARPER: And, of course,

there's no prayer shrine
anywhere up here.

The defense stipulates

that there are no portable
objects of any kind in evidence.

Yasir. Ask our friend if there
was a shrine up here recently.

(SPEAKING ARABIC)

He says maybe?

It's been proven time and time again

that memories of combat
are less than 100% reliable.

Yeah, but it doesn't make your
recall zero percent accurate.

That's what I'm getting
from this rooftop.

If Sergeant Grsezak wasn't here,
he had to be somewhere else.

Maybe we should take some time
to figure out where.

Time happens to be at a premium just now.

We need to get these Marines
out of here ASAP.

Lead the way, Lieutenant.

Good morning, Major Ferry. It's 0811,

and the Spanish delegation
should be en route shortly.

What time did you get here
this morning, Rami?

I arrive when needed, sir.
Before you negotiate,

I wanted to discuss
the Rawson Kiefer situation.

Never heard of them. Them?

I don't listen to much new music.

The Rawson Kiefer situation isn't a band.

Rawson Kiefer is a
civilian at the Pentagon.

He's supposed to represent
their interests today.

And Mr. Kiefer's situation?

Tardiness. Possibly even absence.

I couldn't get his office
to confirm an arrival time.

I couldn't even get them to
confirm that he's coming.

And this affects me how?

Is it wise to begin the
session without him?

The Pentagon rep is a fly
on the wall at these things.

Let's assume Rawson Kiefer knows that

and that his situation is he's decided

to spend the morning elsewhere.

Copy that, sir.

Respectfully, ma'am,

Iceland is the size
of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Their amendment is not a
meaningful precedent here.

Is it then your position
that no amendment is possible?

Ms. Huerta, we acknowledge

the gravity

of Corporal Lawlor's alleged crimes.

He's going to face a general
court-martial and very likely

be punished severely.

We cannot offer you

an amendment to the Status
of Forces Agreement,

but we remain confident

that we can emerge from these talks

with a mutual understanding.

(DOOR SLIDES OPEN)

I'm all for mutual understandings.

In this particular case,

unfortunate though it may be,

I'm sure that we can agree it's just

one of those things.

Stuff happens.

The soldier's in custody,
we've got it from here.

I'm guessing you're Rawson Kiefer.

Since the incident is best described

as "one of those things,"
the United States

has no plans to offer Spain anything

by way of an expression of regret.

And we sure as hell
are not opening up the SOFA.

The tools in place are adequate

- for the job at hand.
- (PHONE CHIMES)

EISA: In other words:

"you get what you get,
so you don't get upset"?

Worked with my kids.

You realize of course
that the U.S. bases in Spain

are the hub for all
your operations in Africa?

And I'm confident
that they will remain so.

After all, Spain is a
country that defends

her own interests so vigorously

that the entire place shuts down
for three hours

while you all take a nap.

RUBEN: We appreciate your time.

- We're leaving.
- That's fine.

But the deal on the table

is not changing.

Thank you for your assist.

You got to be firm with these people.

By the way, Corporal Lawlor's a Marine.

You called him a soldier. That's wrong.

He's a Marine.

Is there a difference?

(YASIR SPEAKING IN ARABIC)

Thank you for speaking to us.
We were wondering

if you saw this man
anywhere in your building.

(SPEAKS IN ARABIC)

Same deal the last five apartments.

Sir?

I got a local glassing us.

He keeps fiddling with his phone.

TEVEZ: Women and kids
are bugging out, too.

We got something brewing.

Saddle up.

We've been parked here too long.

We got to move. Lieutenant Li.

Harper!

(DOOR CREAKS)

Abe.

ABE: Excuse me, ma'am.

Have you seen this man
in your building recently?

(SPEAKING IN ARABIC)

(KNOCKING)

Abe, we got to roll.

Write on the back
and slide it under the door.

Tell her that this man may be responsible

for three people dying.

Leave contact information.

(AYAAN SHOUTING)

Captain.

Stop!

(SPEAKING IN ARABIC)

MAYA: What's she saying?

YASIR: Uh, she says the
other day, t-the day

the shooting started, her son
was playing in the basement.

The boy hid, and-and during the fighting,

a man dressed in your uniform
came down there.

He took his helmet off and sat
with his head in his hands.

The boy thinks maybe
the soldier was crying.

He didn't leave until
the fighting was over.

That's the man her son saw?

YASIR: Yes.

Grsezak abandoned his post.

We've got a witness.

Of course the witness is a game changer.

- Who says he isn't?
- Your words tell me one thing.

Your willingness to negotiate says
something entirely different.

You're confusing negotiation
with surrender.

Military panels are reluctant to
convict on charges of cowardice.

- We're talking in circles.
- I've noticed you guys do that.

I'm turning this discussion
over to my co-counsel.

You guys have

two minutes to close a deal.

- What happens in two minutes?
- If you must know, Captain,

I've had to visit the head
for, like, a half hour.

Two minutes is all I got.

- (HUMMING)
- Seems like

this comes down to brig time.

I personally don't care what
Grsezak pleads guilty to,

he needs to account
for those dead Marines.

How much accounting did you have in mind?

Search your soul. Find a bottom line.

Search it for me.

Article 90,

disobeying a lawful command.

Ten to 12 years.

Make it seven to ten
and we're cooking with gas.

- Abe?
- Works for me.

They pretend to be busier than
they actually are, you know.

Wedding vendors.

- (LAUGHS SOFTLY)
- Once I realized that,

mine got a lot easier to deal with.

I didn't know you were married.

Who says I am?

Ma'am, are they cashiering me?

Any version of a deal comes
with a dishonorable discharge.

Sergeant Grsezak, I need to
confirm that you understand

the length of the sentence
the government's proposing.

So that's it? Camp Living Room
for the rest of my life?

Your career as an active duty
Marine is over.

We're talking about what comes next.

I think the deal's as good
as we're going to get.

I'm sorry, ma'am, but no.
I didn't do anything wrong.

It's not for me to say
what happened that day.

I can tell you

the government is lining up
evidence that,

in my analysis,
a panel will find compelling.

Respectfully, I don't care.

I'm not just a Marine, ma'am.
I'm a MARSOC Raider.

People spend their
entire lives trying to get

to where I am, and most
of 'em fail anyway.

I'm not just flushing that.

No way. I'm innocent.

If you're convicted
of an Article 99 charge,

you could spend the rest
of your life in custody.

I will take that risk.

I want you to get me acquitted.

I want to get back to my unit.

Good morning, Major Ferry.

Rami. Praise be. For a second there,
I actually thought

I was gonna have to ask
someone where you were.

Do you need something, sir?

I just might.

There was an envoy
with the Spanish yesterday.

- Youngest guy there.
- Ruben Corredor.

I took the liberty
of familiarizing myself

- with our guests.
- Will you see if I can

get a private word with him
before we start our session?

I would do that, in theory,
but there's a small problem.

The Spanish aren't coming.

They canceled this morning's session.

They claim there's nothing to talk about.

Uh, peanut butter... the crunchy kind.

The stuff they have over here
is disgusting.

Uh, razors.

Oh, those cookies I like... the
ones with the fudge on one side.

That's not fudge. That's a petri
dish full of preservatives.

- (KNOCKING)
- Fighting a war over here, Mom.

I'll clean up my diet when I get home.

We both know you'll do no such thing.

Got to go, kid. Be safe.

Sorry. I try to catch up with
Adam before he goes on patrol.

Spain bailed.

Rawson Kiefer is definitely ID-10-T,

but my guess is whoever just
appointed him wants it that way.

As he said, it's a brand-new day.

We have got to work around these people.

What's your plan, Major?

Shut down our bases in Spain.

Maybe dissolve NATO while we're at it.

This needs to get fixed.

What-what is the phrase I'm looking for?

- "Improvise. Adapt..."
- Overcome.

BAILIFF: All rise!

Have you argued
in front of Judge Lamb before?

I'm not entirely sure why I'm
arguing in front of him now.

A general court-martial's a lot different

than banging out summaries
or negotiating NJP.

It's your first one. I want to
see if you can bring the noise.

Also, it's just an arraignment.

Don't get distracted when
he starts in with the hand.

I see we have a change of pace

lined up this morning.

This is Docket Number 1047-877-932-99.

The United States v.
Sergeant Jared Grsezak.

The accused is charged with Article 92...

Failure to Obey an Order or Regulation,

and Article 99... Misbehavior
In the Face of the Enemy.

Article 99.

How say you, young man?

Not guilty, Your Honor.

Consider yourself arraigned.

We have a motion for dismissal.

We've read it, Your Honor.

Immaculately rendered, as always,

but ultimately composed
of specious arguments

that border on a bad faith waste
of the court's time.

We appreciate the government's concern

for Judge Lamb's time,

but it's hardly specious to point out

that when a MARSOC Raider is kitted out

in body armor, a helmet and goggles,

one Marine looks
pretty much like another.

Given that the case
against my client rests entirely

on one eyewitness, it's impossible to say

that the boy in question was looking

at Sergeant Grsezak and
not another MARSOC Raider.

The prosecution intends to demonstrate

that the Marine in question

could only have been
Sergeant Jared Grsezak.

And how do you intend to do that?

Your Honor, in the witness's

initial statement, the boy mentioned

that the Marine who hid was wearing a set

of red dog tags on his boots.

Colored dog tags, as you probably know,

are used to indicate a medical
condition that could require

a special treatment in the
event a Marine is injured.

They're essentially our equivalent

of a civilian medical bracelet.

LAMB: I wear a set myself when
I'm on training exercises.

Type 2 diabetes.

Sergeant Grsezak is allergic
to penicillin.

He's also the only member of his squad

who wears a set of red dog tags.

Your Honor, the lighting conditions...

Save it for the court-martial,
Captain Dobbins.

The motion is denied.

(RASPY BREATHING)

Is your client all right, Counselor?

You all right?

Sergeant Grsezak?

I need to get out of here now.

Um, Your Honor, the defense requests

a short recess.

(RASPY BREATHING)

What's going on?

Talk to me.

I'm-I'm fine. Just-just give me a second.

Is there something we need
to talk about, Jared?

I'm fine. I just...

I just been... I don't, I don't
know... just under the weather.

I'm good. For real. We can go back in.

- Hey.
- Go get the corpsman. Jared?

(KNOCKING)

Ma'am, I'd rather rest tonight
if it's all good with you.

You had a panic attack.

What? (SCOFFS)

No, I told you, I'm sick.

I don't mean in court.

You had one there, too, but I'm
talking about that day in Kismayo.

That's why you were
down in that basement.

You weren't at your post because you were

in the middle of a serious panic attack.

I'm not sure if you noticed,

but until now, I didn't have
much of a defense to mount.

This is a whole new game.

You have a medical condition
that should have

precluded you from being in combat.

I'm filing for a continuance. We
need a psychiatrist right away.

So I get off by pretending to be

a Section 8?

First of all, there hasn't been
a Section 8 discharge

for decades.

The Marines don't automatically discharge

for personality disorders anymore.

- You could be reassigned...
- There is nothing wrong with me.

You have panic attacks, Jared.

You know what I'm talking about.

I'm fine.

Do you know what a "P.O.G." is?

It's an acronym.
"Person Other than Grunt."

That's right. And unless you fight,

unless you're a real Marine,

you'd never know how much
we look down on you.

I'm sorry, ma'am, but that's the truth.

I fight.

I kill the enemy.

There's no way I'm spending
the rest of my life

stocking shelves at Pendleton.

You're sitting with a psychiatrist.

I'm legally obligated
to make that happen.

And it's your best defense.

He won't find anything wrong with me.

I'm not sick.

Not like that.

(PHONE CHIMES)

_

TREY: You guys get your own driver?

- I should get into the diplomacy game.
- Major Ferry.

We don't have an appointment
today, do we?

I thought we could talk anyway

- and I heard you were on base.
- Talk?

About what, exactly?

I'm not sure.

Do diplomatic plates really work
the way they do in the movies?

You guys haven't left for Spain yet;

there must be something to discuss.

I'm of the mind that any
conversation beats

a staring contest and you seem

to have your boss's ear.
Let's grab some food.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Are those potential panel members?

No.

I e-mailed you your
voir dire prep last night.

I'm, um, working on
a guest list for my wedding.

These are "maybes."

I have to get rid of half of them.

Can't you just tell Brad to
whack some people from his side?

He already did and it's Bard.

His parents misspell the name
on his birth certificate

and I'm just supposed to indulge them?

We're not doing voir dire today.

The defense requested time
to have Grsezak

examined by Major Foxley.

Foxley?

That's the psychiatrist
they use for expert testimony?

Mm-hmm.

So, yesterday...

You dropped the bomb
about the red dog tags

and suddenly, Grsezak collapses.

Sounds like panic city.

You think they're gonna use that
in his defense?

Well, wouldn't you?

If Sergeant Grsezak knows
he has a panic disorder,

they would have
used that from the get-go.

Maybe Kismayo's
the first time it happened.

Maybe he doesn't want Maya to use it.

Raider training is brutal.
If Grsezak is prone to panic,

chances are he showed
some sign of it at MRTC.

Find out who was in his class
and line up interviews.

A lot of them will be overseas.

We'll get where we can.
And video chat with the rest.

What are you doing?

Helping.

Well?

It's good. (CHUCKLES)

I promised my kids I'd try one.

Yeah? How many you got?

You?

Working on number one.

Um... look.

What happened is bad, it's terrible.

We get it.

We are gonna court-martial
Corporal Lawlor.

But we are not gonna hand
him over to you guys.

I mean, you get that, right? (SCOFFS)

(PHONE VIBRATES)

So what is your bottom line?

It seems every conversation
is about how far

- we come toward your position...
- (PHONE VIBRATES)

I'm sorry, it's my wife.

Look, I'm not Rawson Kiefer.

We are allies, we don't need

- to field strip this thing...
- (PHONE VIBRATES)

(CLICKS TONGUE) Damn.

Sorry, I got to...

Hey, I'm kind of slammed.

Oh, no, I know.

Okay, I'll be, I'll be there soon.

Okay, bye.

Everything all right?

If we're doing this,
we need to do it now.

I got maybe five minutes.

What?

You start a negotiation,
have someone call

while it's happening,
suddenly there's a deadline.

Look, I said Nona and I were
working on number one, right?

The truth is, we've been
working on number one.

It's been like a year and the
situation is getting hairy.

And I definitely need to be
there when I'm, you know,

necessary.

This happens to be one of those moments.

So if we're gonna make a
deal, let's go on and do it.

I need to have sex with my wife.

(CHUCKLES)

You people never apologize.

Seriously?

You hold the power hand,

and you want everyone to acknowledge it.

How can we maintain
a partnership with you?

Okay, you can stop now. I get it.

So, if I get Rawson Kiefer to sign off

on an apology from America to Spain,

this all goes away?

I suspect so.

Good luck.

A man like that sees an apology
as a sign of weakness.

Oh, he'll apologize.
He just won't realize

that that's what he's doing.

She needs me inside of 90 minutes.

I don't know how I'm gonna
make it with all the traffic

on the Beltway.

My driver has diplomatic plates.

You could use your carpool lane,
perhaps run a red light.

♪ My sugar, honey. ♪

KOPPEL: Grsezak was quiet.

I'd say he was wound kind of tight.

But he wasn't prone to panic.

Not that I saw.

He never complained about dizziness,

shortness of breath?

Nothing like that.

As long as I kept him fed and oiled,

JG was a straight ground pounder.

What do you mean
you kept him fed and oiled?

Isn't that the Marine Corps' job?

I'm not talking regular food.

JG was one of my customers.

Steady one, too.

He was on fentanyl?

No, he had special requests.

The first one was alprazolam.

That's a benzo. Prescribed for anxiety.

KOPPEL: Sure.

Yeah, or just to feel good.

You implied there was another drug.

Propranolol. He was the only one
that wanted that stuff,

but he made me get a lot of it.

Used to call it "LOL,"

because of how the name ends.

HARPER: I just got off the phone
with my friend

who's in med school.

Propranolol is a beta blocker.

They prescribe it specifically
for panic disorders.

So Grsezak didn't have
an undiagnosed condition.

He knew he had a panic disorder,

but they wouldn't let him in
the Raiders if he disclosed it.

He was self-medicating.

Those three Marines are dead

because Sergeant Grsezak didn't
want to admit he has an issue.

We're not in Kansas anymore,
Lieutenant Li.

See, that's funny, 'cause
we actually are in Kansas.

You're a member here?

Perks of life on base.

I finished second at 300 yards last year.

And now you're going for first?

Is there anything you're
not competitive about?

I'm terrible at paying alimony
in a timely fashion.

So, you just happened to be
strolling by the Shooting Club?

Your admin told me you'd be here.

Your client bought anti-panic medication

and self-medicated by the fistful.

Got him through Raider training.

Didn't work in combat.

This is according to...?

The guy who sold him the pills.

Currently in residence
at Fort Leavenworth.

Should be a lively cross-examination.

I figure maybe you go
talk to your client,

get him to change his plea to guilty.

It's either that,
or I go in front of a judge

and compel a sample of
Sergeant Grsezak's hair.

Propranolol, the stuff he took,

it stays in there a while.

What is that look?

I'm trying to figure out
why you're sitting here.

Why not just compel a sample,
go for the max?

Maybe I trust Judge Lamb
to bring the thunder.

Maybe I appreciate the tip.

When you filed for that continuance,

you knew we'd figure out that
Sergeant Grsezak had been having

panic attacks.

My client told the psychiatrist

that he's never experienced
panic-related symptoms

of any kind.

But you wanted the truth
in evidence anyway.

So you figured out a way to get it to us.

I'm not sure what you mean.

I'm sworn to represent
my client's interests

with utmost zeal.

I'll talk to Sergeant Grsezak

in the morning, see about that plea.

Much appreciated.

And if he doesn't change it,

I'll expose him as a liar on the stand.

He'll do the full bit.

Happy shooting.

Major Ferry, the Spanish are coming.

The Spanish are coming.

Say that one more time
and I'll hand you a lantern.

Paul Revere humor. Never
goes out of style, sir.

Is The Tonight Show aware that
you're developing new material?

I know the Spanish are
coming, Mr. Ahmadi.

I helped set it up. Anything else?

Actually, yes. Someone's waiting for you.

Rawson Kiefer. Good morning.

How's my chair?

- Comfortable, right?
- Major Ferry.

Are you ready for
a declining civilization

to pucker up and kiss you on the behind?

Of course, sir, but before
we start, I should tell you:

I did offer one tiny bauble
to the Spanish,

just something
to goose the process along.

We agreed to divert a tiny
amount of money from Defense

into a scholarship fund that would help

families of the victims of drunk drivers.

Less than 40,000 a year

until the whole thing
becomes self-sustaining.

That's it?

If they were putting themselves
up for sale,

they should have just said so
from the get-go.

Does this scholarship have a name?

The Rawson Kiefer Fund

for Reparations to Bereaved Families.

I put your name in there, sir,

in honor of the work you did
to make this deal happen.

Can we change the word "reparations"?

It sounds kind of like "apologize."

We didn't do anything wrong.

That's just a technical term.

Um... honestly, the paperwork
is already in process.

What if we swapped in "restitution"?

No one was wronged by us; they
were wronged by the universe.

We're just stepping in.

You did well here, young man.

Best deal since the Germans
purchased Manhattan

for $24.

Dutch. The Dutch bought Manhattan.

The Germans never really had colonies.

They did it privately...

You know what? I'm sure you're right.

Let's go make a deal.

(PHONE CHIMES)

(INHALES, EXHALES)

BAILIFF: All rise!

LAMB: Young man?

You have something to say?

Your Honor.

(CLEARS THROAT)

September 11, 2001

is one of the first days
I can remember clearly.

My father turned to me
when the second tower collapsed,

and he told me that
every generation has its war.

Mine started that day,

and I've never wanted
anything but to serve.

To fight for this country,

if it needed me to.

There is something inside
of me that doesn't work

the way it's supposed to.

I hid it, because I thought
I could cope with it on my own.

I wanted to go to war.

My war.

Men are dead because
of the choices I made.

My brothers in arms.

I want to apologize here, today,
to their families.

(EXHALES)

I want to change my plea
to guilty, Your Honor.

This court appreciates your candor...

...belated though it may be.

We'll reconvene next week
for extenuation and mitigation,

at which time my sentence
will be entered into the record.

(GAVEL BANGS)

(QUIETLY): Jared.

You won't get more than 15 years.

You're young.

Your life can be about
more than just this.

You handled yourself
pretty well, Lieutenant.

Um... pleasure working with you, sir.

Why are you still here?

Those two boots right there

are gonna take you to the airfield.

What? Why?

Because I beat them at Horse, and
this is how we're settling up.

As of this minute,
you're on four days R&R.

There's a hop to New York
that leaves in 30 minutes.

They're saving you a spot.

Rami lined up a day

of appointments with your vendors.

I talked to the flower lady myself,

got you a bit of a better deal.

How did you know who to call?

Bard and I might have talked.

Thank you... sir.

Harper.

I give you a hard time because
I know you can handle it.

You're no boot.

You're a Marine.

I catch myself in the mirror sometimes.

This uniform.

It feels like I'm playing dress-up.

You graduated the same OCS I did.

Your parents founded Li and Associates.

You had it all laid out for you,
but you picked a different way.

This country would be a
better place if more people

made the same choice you did.

RUBEN: We're leaving.

Thank you for everything.

I... trust things went well yesterday?

I'm not giving you any details,
if that's what you're asking.

Of course not. (CHUCKLES)

I didn't want to leave
without showing you

a picture of my daughters.

Oh, twins. They're beautiful.

Do twins run in your family?

They do not.

My wife and I...

we tried for five years to have a child.

It was very difficult for her.

For both of us.

You know what I mean.

Finally, we got help,

and at the end of it, we
had Penelope and Luciana.

Hmm.

They're beautiful.

(CHUCKLES) Thank you.

- Who are those men?
- CACO officers.

They bring the news
you never want to hear.
