Jimmy, this stupid garbage disposal
is broken again.

Did you put stupid melon rind
down it again?

If it can't take melon rind,
what good is it?

Did you hit the reset button?

What reset button?

The same one I showed you
last time.

You can't miss it if you just...

You just wanted me to do it.

I just wanted to get you
on your back.

Sneak attack.

Commence counter measures.
Commence fire.

Fire depth charges!

Enemy command captured.

You gonna interrogate me?

INS!
Get down! Get down! Get down!

- What are you doing?
- Lie down and shut up!

- Clear!
- All secure, lieutenant.

Clear!

By command of His Royal Highness,
the emir of Al Khair,

I am here to bring you home,
princess.

Apparently, the petty officer
met the princess

standing in line
at Hardee's in Al Khair.

Petty Officer Elling was assigned

to the naval air station there
as a Machinist Mate.

That may be enough, sir.

No matter how many times
I show Tiner, he never gets it right.

Where is Tiner?

He's registering for night school, sir.

Pre-law.

That your doing, commander?

Well, it seemed a more prudent choice
than flight school, sir.

Yeah.

- Where was I?
- The princess and the petty officer.

Oh, right. When Elling
was transferred stateside last month,

he forged a Naval ID
for the princess,

brought her onboard his flight

disguised in baggy sweats
and a baseball cap.

Sort of a fairy tale in reverse.

Turn the princess into a pumpkin.

Well, Al Khair
wants its pumpkin back.

She's being held at the Fredericksburg
INS Detention Centre

pending deportation.

How does she get deported
if she's married to a U.S. Serviceman?

Doesn't that make her
a lawful resident alien?

She entered the country illegally
before she was married.

What if they were married in Al Khair,
she could enter?

Except in Al Khair it's illegal
for a princess to marry a non-Muslim.

And I believe Elling is a Methodist.

Thank you, sir.
Given the compelling personal nature

of Petty Officer Elling's crime, sir,

I'm surprised the matter
didn't simply go to captain's mast.

Well, she's a princess

and CNN led with the story
this morning.

So this is less about Navy discipline.

More about putting on a show
for our allies?

I don't think anyone could argue

that the Navy's trying to railroad him,
commander, if you're defending him.

Unless you're planning
on rolling over for the media?

Well, it's never been my tack
in the past, sir.

Good. Roberts, you're prosecuting.

Thank you, sir.

So how is it?

Great, sir.

Really powerful.

Commander?

- Robust.
- We need a real coffee drinker.

I wrote People magazine.
I called People magazine.

They won't issue a retraction.

They wouldn't need a retraction
if you hadn't talked to them.

I didn't talk to them.
I said I wouldn't violate your privacy.

No, you said you wouldn't violate
your fianc�e's privacy.

Sarah, you're wearing my ring.

- We're practically living together.
- Admiral, commander, lieutenant.

Goodbye.

She's probably had enough coffee.

Yes, sir.

Admiral Chegwidden.

Master Chief Boesch?

- How are you?
- How are you, chief?

- Good.
- Man, you look good.

The master chief
was my senior instructor at BUD/S.

What the hell you doing out here?

I'm out here signing T-shirts
for the Navy.

I'm real popular all of a sudden.

Well, save some time for me.
We've got some catching up to do.

Yes, sir.

Master chief,
would you like some coffee?

Yes, sir.

Kind of weak.

All I want is my wife back, sir.

How can the United States government
just kick her out of the country?

What the hell kind of freedom
are we all fighting for, sir?

Nobody is free to smuggle people
into the country illegally, petty officer.

We belong together, sir.

Fanny is my wife.

- We love each other.
- Fanny?

Fatimah Fareeeha
Taarhira al-Amatullah.

Fanny.

So, what's gonna happen to her,
sir?

The INS are processing her
for deportation.

We can't let that happen, sir.

Do you have any idea
what they do in Al Khair

to women who violate the laws
about sex and marriage?

Look, right now
all I'm concerned with

are the laws
you're charged with violating:

Falsifying official statements,
forgery, theft of services...

I don't care what they do to me, sir.

But she can't go back there.
It's too dangerous.

If you're in the brig, you can't do
anything for her, Petty Officer Elling.

You can help her, sir.

Please.

So how are things in the real Navy,
the one with the boats?

Listen, I need a favour.

Can you get a couple hours liberty
tomorrow?

- Why?
- Well, you know,

you'd be driving by the Joan & David
Shoe Outlet in Potomac Mills.

- Keep talking.
- And you'd be helping out

the dependent wife
of a U.S. Serviceman

with an immigration problem.

Your princess.

It's Petty Officer Elling's princess

and her deportation hearing
is tomorrow in Fredericksburg.

Well, why don't you go?

I'm stuck here. I have to wait
until Bud sees Elling's CO

and finds out what kind of an offer
he's authorised to make.

Fatimah al-Amatullah.

Her hearing is tomorrow at 0900.

I'd have to cancel my facial.

Mac, these kids really need a break.

- You still don't have your car back?
- Still in police impound.

Look, A.J., Danny told me
all about what happened.

He feels totally responsible.

- He does?
- Of course.

You lent him your car.
While he had it, it got stolen

and then abandoned
by a dope dealer.

Has this kind of thing
ever happened before?

Having a car stolen?

No, I mean Danny being in trouble.

He's not in trouble.

But the police had some questions.

Oh, that's so typical.

Last year,
when my office was broken into,

the cops practically blamed me
for not having the right burglar alarm.

Well, they were probably
just trying to protect you.

Fatimah al-Amatullah?

I am Fatimah.

I'm Lieutenant Colonel
Sarah MacKenzie. I'm an attorney.

The lawyer representing your husband
asked me to help you.

Jimmy. How is he?

He's in good hands.

I'll go.

Aneesa.

Thank you for staying with me.

She's a friend from home.

- What should I call you? Princess?
- Oh, please.

Fanny.

Can you help me?

Well, to be honest, Fanny,

from what I know
about immigration law,

it won't be easy.

Fatimah, are you all right?

Imam!

Lieutenant?

Bin-Rasheed.

Muslim chaplain at Norfolk.

You're Colonel MacKenzie.

I saw you on Trial TV.

Great. You're a long way
from your congregation, imam.

Not really.

Fatimah has become
one of our regulars.

I don't want to lose her, colonel.

Even though she married
outside the faith?

She considers herself
a good Muslim,

I consider her a good Muslim.

Oh, imam,

they're going to send me back.

Only if it's Allah's will.

And the immigration judge's.

Twelve months confinement?

You can do better than that,
lieutenant.

Sir, the CO is taking
a real hard line on this one.

That's the best deal he'll go for.

He doesn't realise
that Petty Officer Elling

had no criminal intent?

That he is already been punished
by being deprived of his wife?

I explained all of that to him, sir.

It's not my decision.

It's better than the 15 years he'd get
if he was convicted of all the charges.

Fifteen years in the brig?

He's just trying to intimidate you.

Nobody gets
triple maximum consecutive.

Three months is more like it.

Maybe six.

If I am in the brig, sir,
what happens to Fanny?

She's likely to be sent home
if you can't provide support.

Then I can't spend any time
in the brig, sir.

Princess Fatimah al-Amatullah?

- Yes.
- Your Honour, I'm Sarah MacKenzie.

Colonel MacKenzie.

I saw you on Trial TV.
Nice work on that murder case.

Thank you, but I'm appearing today

on behalf of Miss al-Amatullah.

I move to stay her deportation

and initiate proceedings
for permanent residency status

based on her marriage
to an American citizen.

A marriage performed
after she sneaked into the country.

Miss al-Amatullah can go home
and apply for legal admission.

Your Honour,
if she returns to Al Khair

she'll be subject to harsh
and discriminatory treatment.

You're claiming asylum?

Are princesses
an oppressed group over there?

Women are
when they violate societal norms.

I'm prepared to make a showing
for asylum

and for the marriage petition.

Have it on my desk in 24 hours.

In the meantime,
Miss al-Amatullah is remanded.

We would like to have her released
to our custody, Your Honour.

I am Yousif Al-Mustawaf,
counsellor at the Al Khair embassy.

Commander Rabb.

I'll call you back, all right?

What is it, sir?

News from your wife.

Her other husband just showed up.

She's ready to see her husband.

That one.

Fanny, that guy?

You're married?

My father arranged the marriage,
Jimmy.

I never wanted to do it.

You are married to him?

I never consented.

So you're not married to him?

They had the ceremony
and my father attended for me.

You weren't there?

It's not required.

So you don't even know him?

I knew him.

He's a friend of the family.

At least you didn't marry
a total stranger.

Jimmy, please.

I swear I have never been
with that man.

He is not my husband.

Your country says he is.

Well, that is their law.

I married Jimmy
under American law.

If you were already legally married
in Al Khair,

your marriage here is invalid.

You could be deported immediately.

Sir,
if they think she's married to him,

doesn't that make
what she did with me adultery?

- I suppose.
- Then she has to stay here.

Well, under the circumstances,
that may not be possible.

She has to.

Remember in Saudi Arabia?

They executed a princess
for adultery, ma'am.

Getting that nesting urge again,
Lieutenant?

Sir. I'm just updating the pictures
on Bud's desk.

They change so fast.

So do expectant mothers.
What is it now, six months?

Eight months. I go for
my 36-week ultrasound on Thursday.

Is he ready to command
a junior enlisted woman?

He may request a transfer,

but I'm not gonna let him go.

Your little boy forever, huh?

Sir?

I had a talk...

Well, I tried to have a talk
with Dr. Walden about her son.

The druggie who wrecked your car

and was so stoned that he
left the pot in it for the police to find?

Bud might have mentioned that,
yeah.

His mother
doesn't wanna hear about it.

Her little boy forever, sir.

Would you wanna hear about it
in regards to him?

I wouldn't wanna hear it, sir.

But I need to know.

I'd need to know the truth.

I was stationed in Al Khair
for 18 months, commander,

and as far as I know,
they didn't execute any princesses.

Theoretically, admiral,
under their laws it could happen.

Well, if Al Khair is smart enough

to bump the price of gas
to $2 a gallon, commander,

they're certainly smart enough
to realise

how killing this girl would play
in The New York Times.

With all due respect, would
your attitude toward Petty Officer Elling

be different if he hadn't run off with
the niece of an oil-rich ally of the U. S?

No.

But not for the reasons
that you're implying, commander,

that I'm some kind of a flunky
for the oil sheiks.

I didn't mean to imply that, admiral.

I'm just trying to understand
your position.

Well then, let's start with a little fracas
called the Gulf War.

- You remember that, right?
- I was there, sir.

Then you understand that
that part of the world is very important

to our national interest.

Admiral, I'm sure Petty Officer Elling
had no intention of damaging relations

between Al Khair
and the United States.

In the 18 months I was there,

I commanded hundreds
of men and women

who were all counselled
within an inch of their lives

not to offend the local sensibilities.

I understand that, sir.

No, I don't think you do,
commander.

Their contact with the local population
was all heavily regulated.

Any of their personal taste
or any of their minor pleasures

were all severely restricted.

Personally, I went 18 months
without a beer.

Well, I'm sorry, admiral.

But there must be some way to make
an example of Petty Officer Elling

without giving him brig time, sir.

Five hundred men and women were
walking on eggshells, commander,

making a personal sacrifice in an effort
to preserve a very delicate alliance.

And then this yahoo
decides to walk off with the princess.

If he only gets one year in the brig,
then he should thank his lucky stars

that I'm such a softy.

Yeah! Yeah!

Yes!

Six million for a guy
who has no defence.

Don't be such a sore loser, loser.

Well, maybe next time
we ought to watch a game

where we both like the same team.

Or maybe you could tell me
what's really on your mind.

You're not exactly into the game.

Well, it's...

It's about Danny.

I don't think my car was stolen.

What are you saying?

I think he took my car off-road
and wrecked it.

And I think he's smoking marijuana.

- Danny doesn't smoke marijuana.
- Are you sure?

Well, he and I talk
to each other, A.J.

I'd know.

Sidney, there was no sign
that my car was stolen.

He never reported it missing.

His story is full of holes.

If he has a problem,
he needs to get help

and that's not gonna happen
unless you know what's going on.

I like Danny.

You know I like you.

Why else would I stick my nose
where it doesn't belong?

I'm glad you did.

Thank you, A.J.

I assure you, my daughter
has nothing to fear by returning home.

Her mother and I, we love her.

Do you have any reason
to doubt that?

It may not be her family's decision.

There is the precedent of a princess
in Saudi Arabia who was...

Executed. Are we
going to hear about that again?

She was shot.
Her lover was beheaded.

It does stick in the memory.

This happened 25 years ago
in a different Muslim country

in violation of Islamic law.

Last year a court
in the United Arab Emirates

sentenced a woman
to death by stoning for adultery.

The sentence was commuted.

To one year in jail
and 150 lashes with a whip.

First things first,
Colonel MacKenzie.

Miss al-Amatullah would not be
considered guilty of adultery

unless her first marriage
to Mr. Al-Jimri was valid.

- Are you conceding that?
- I am not, Your Honour.

We still maintain
that Miss al-Amatullah

is legally married
to Petty Officer James Elling

and thus eligible for a compassionate
change in residency status.

She is my wife.

I pledged my word.

Did she pledge her word?

Miss al-Amatullah?

- No.
- Fatimah.

Father, I honour you

because you raised me
to live in the modern world.

You sent me to school.

You gave me freedom.

And now you want to pull me back
on a string?

If you honour me,
you will say no more.

Your Honour, if I may.

Islamic law requires full
and free consent of both parties,

even in an arranged marriage.

Miss al-Amatullah's marriage
to Mr. Al-Jimri may be null.

The princess is free
to argue that point

before an Islamic Shari'a court
in Al Khair.

She has this right.

If she has to go back
to Al Khair to do it,

then this entire proceeding is moot.

This entire proceeding is an intrusion
into our law and my family.

Miss al-Amatullah can only avoid
going back to Al Khair

maybe

if her marriage
to Petty Officer Elling is valid.

But she can only determine that
that marriage is valid

by going back to Al Khair.

Kind of a vicious circle.

Unless she goes
before an Islamic Tribunal here.

We do sometimes
refer findings of fact to expert arbiters.

There are no Shari'a tribunals
in the United States.

Not yet, but we have Muslims.
We have imams.

We have all the principles
in this case.

And attorneys.

You think you are qualified
to speak for Miss al-Amatullah

before an Islamic Tribunal?

My grandmother was Muslim.

She taught me the Fatiha
and the Shahada.

"There is no God but one God.

And Muhammad is his messenger."

Very well. This hearing is adjourned
pending the decision of a...?

- Shari'a.
- Shari'a court

on the validity of Miss al-Amatullah's
first marriage.

Go with God.

Okay, I got four books
on Islamic law.

Speaking of which, al-Haakim
sent down more papers on Shari'a law.

And some websites:
IslamicwomenofAl-Khair. Com.

Muslim women are fighting back.

They really don't need to.

The glorious Koran teaches
equality between the sexes.

Commander Rabb,
this is Chaplain Bin-Rasheed.

- Commander.
- Chaplain.

Nice job getting the admiral's
permission to carry through.

"Take all the special liberty
you want, Mac.

Just get ready to pull full duty
over Christmas week."

How are you gonna keep
Fanny's husband out of the brig?

We're pleading guilty.

Well, you may have called them
"improv munitions."

We called them suicide bombs.

A damn fuseless Molotov
nearly went off in my hand.

On the bright side, admiral,

till the Navy sees
you're too dumb to throw a lit bomb,

they don't know
you're officer material.

Enter.

Excuse me, master chief.

So, what's happening with my car?

The police say
there's enough marijuana in your car

to trigger civil forfeiture.

If you want the car back,
you have to get fingerprinted.

Did you remind them
that I'm an admiral

in the United States Navy?

Yes, sir. I did.
They say they bust sailors all the time.

So I have to let them treat me
like a criminal to get my own car back?

- Enter.
- Excuse me, admiral.

A messenger brought this
for you, sir.

Let me ask you something, Gunny.

When you were a police officer
in New Mexico,

what did you do with cars you found
with drugs in them?

Usually they got sold to the chief's
brother-in-law for $500, sir.

Master chief.

I'm gonna have to take a rain check
on that roast beef sandwich.

Won't be the first time
I came in runner-up.

You understand that on your plea
alone, Petty Officer Elling,

without receiving any evidence,

this court-martial
can find you guilty of all charges?

Yes, Your Honour.

And that you are giving up your right
against self-incrimination,

your right
to confront witnesses against you,

and your right to call witnesses
on your behalf?

Yes, Your Honour.

This guilty plea is given by you
freely and voluntarily?

It is, Your Honour.

I assume some sort of sentencing
arrangement

has been made
in consideration of this plea?

No, Your Honour.
There is no pre-trial agreement.

The petty officer's plea
came as a surprise to the government.

Commander Mattoni joined me
as trial counsel

with the anticipation
of a contested case.

A surprise surrender, commander?

We are content
to go directly to sentencing

to determine a fair
and just punishment.

Meaning you have no defence,

but didn't like
the convening authority's deal?

Meaning we have full faith

in a panel of the petty officer's
fellow service members, ma'am.

Your Honour, by pleading guilty,
the defence is trying to limit

what the members find out
about these crimes.

All they will hear
is extenuation and mitigation.

Last time I checked, commander,
it was up to the accused,

not the government,
to decide how he pleads.

You'll get your chance
to show your evidence

when we get
to "Matters and Aggravation."

Petty Officer Elling,

you understand you can get

up to 15 years confinement
at hard labour?

Yes, Your Honour.

That's a risk I have to take, ma'am.

Very well.

Accordingly, this court finds you guilty
of all charges and specifications.

Sentencing hearing
convenes tomorrow at 0900.

Court is in recess.

Why?

I said it all in the letter, A.J.

Because you couldn't say it
to my face?

Wait. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I think...

I think we have something here.

I have to do what's right
for me and my son.

For God's sake, Sidney,
he's a college student.

- He's not an infant.
- I don't wanna argue about this.

And I don't wanna be the one
penalised for it.

Your son overindulges in marijuana.

He wrecked my car.

He lied about it.

He told me he didn't.

I mean, what choice
do you expect me to make here?

Danny's father died
when he was seven.

I brought him up alone
without a man in the house.

Maybe that's the reason
there hasn't been a man in the house.

Look at the stunt he pulled
on your birthday.

- He was trying to be nice.
- He ruined our dinner.

And of all the cars to borrow,
why mine?

You just don't like him.

Never gave me a chance.

This shouldn't be about Danny,
it should be about us.

I care about you.

I'm sorry, A.J.

Hi.

Did you come
to take my mother to lunch?

You screwed with me, son.
I don't really care about that,

but you're keeping your mother
from being happy

and you ought to be ashamed
of yourself.

She is happy. And I'm happy.

It's not our job to make you happy.

Still driving a rental car?

I'll be sending you the bill, boy.

I never consented to marriage
with Mustafa.

I accepted him
only as a friend of my father's.

A friend of the family.

I spent many hours in their home.

Fatimah was always happy
to see me.

I was a child.
You brought me presents.

I thought of you as a favourite uncle,
not a suitor.

Fatimah's father came to me
with her promise.

- He signed the kitab.
- He signed the kitab. I did not.

- Her father was her wali.
- Objection. Fatimah was 18.

Her father was no longer entitled to
serve as her wali without her consent.

Thank you, Miss MacKenzie.

But Islamic tribunals do not follow
formal courtroom procedures.

Those who are asked to testify

may speak as they wish.

Thank you for your guidance, imam.

Fatimah, did you discuss
this marriage with your father?

I told him
I would not go through with it.

Did you ever express your rejection
to Mr. Al-Jimri directly?

No. I never saw him after my father
announced the betrothal.

So the marriage
was not consummated?

No, it was not.

Hearing this, Mustafa,

tell us why do you wish to see
this marriage declared valid?

Fatimah is still young, imam.

She is wilful.

Our marriage
was not arranged lightly.

It unites two houses
that share many interests.

If it pleases the panel,
shouldn't we consider

whether Fatimah's interests
were being served?

I do not have to answer to her.
I have done no wrong.

Fatimah accepted her marriage.

Accepted it where?
Accepted it how?

She took ownership of my mahr,
the dowry.

The dowry was placed in her name
by a contract her father set up.

- There was no action on her part.
- Not until she sold it.

According to the kitab,

the dowry was a villa in Spain.

Did you sell the property?

- Yes.
- And you kept the proceeds?

You must be aware

that accepting the mahr is tantamount
to consent to the marriage.

But we have Shahada,

supporting testimony,
that will shed some light on this matter,

from the best friend of the princess,

my daughter.

Aneesa.

Aneesa.

Repeat after me:

Now tell us what you know.

When my family
moved to Washington,

Fatimah was very envious.

She told me she hated Al Khair.

She wanted to run away.

That's why she sold the villa.

And what else did she tell you?

She wanted to come to America.

She said she was going to find
an American and marry him.

Go on.

And when she didn't need him
anymore, she could stay in America.

She would be free.

It sounds like a washing machine.

The world's most beautiful
washing machine.

Oh, my back is killing me, Bud.

Oh, I told you
to stop lifting little baby A.J.

Oh, yeah. You stay at home
with a 2-year-old and don't lift him.

Sorry for the delay.

It's been a madhouse here
this morning.

How are you feeling?

My gut's the size of a roast pig,
and my ankles look like bolognas

and my back feels like a Cuisinart.

She's been a little hungry.

Oh, that's not hunger.

Lieutenant Sims, you're in labour.

Now?

No, I have four weeks.

Well, I guess no one told the baby.

It is true. I did say those things.

And I did go looking for someone
to help me get away.

And I am glad that I did.

Because if I hadn't,
I wouldn't have found you.

But you already had a husband.

Not in my eyes.

My father arranged that marriage
when I was 14.

Did you object to the arrangement
at that time?

It didn't seem real at that time.

Besides, in my family we didn't
often object to my father's wishes.

Did you make any preparations
to be married?

No! I was in school.

I was learning about the world.

And then I realised

that I wasn't going to be allowed
to be a part of it.

That my world, my life,
had all been decided for me.

And so I decided to leave.

And I would do it again.

You would do it again with a dowry
given to you by another man?

I was frightened.

What if things didn't work out
with Jimmy?

My family would have disowned me.

I would have nothing.

Nothing?

Actually,

you would have $575,000
in a Swiss bank.

You doing okay?

I don't know, sir.

She never told me about any of that.

You know, you have your own trial
to concentrate on.

Don't lose sight of that, huh.

God, I wouldn't even be on trial, sir,
if she'd never told me she loved me.

Will you excuse me, sir? I just...

I just wanna walk.

How is he?

Well, he's doing pretty good,
considering.

Do you think
she ever really loved him?

It doesn't look like that matters.

- Breathe, Harriet, breathe.
- I am breathing.

We need to come up with
a better game plan

for that next contraction.

You're doing just fine.

- Let's just have a look at you.
- Okay.

You're going to feel a little pressure.

A little pressure
might be a nice change.

Where's Dr. Gettis?
He was due in here 10 minutes ago.

- I don't know. I paged him.
- Get him in here.

- What is it?
- I need you to roll over on your side.

- I need Dr. Gettis right away.
- Okay.

Get that pillow down. Yes.

- Don't push yet.
- What's happened?

Just something
the doctor needs to look at.

They can't find him.
I've got Dr. Chadway.

Doctor, we have a prolapsed cord.

The baby's heart rate
is showing decels.

Yes, sir. I'm maintaining pressure
on the baby's head.

Yes, sir.

Is there something wrong
with the baby?

- Hey, it's okay. Everything's fine.
- What?

- It's okay.
- Get some techs in here.

Chadway will meet us in the OR.

Try not to push
on your next contraction.

You may have to have
a caesarean section.

Your baby's head
is pressing against the umbilical cord.

Bud?

- Excuse me.
- It's all right. I'm here.

Honey?

- Let's go.
- Bud!

Coming through. OR 3.

She's here. Let's go.

- Oh, Bud! It hurts.
- Hang in there, sweetie.

Try not to push.

Stay with me, Bud!

I'm right here, honey.

Where's Dr. Gettis?

In the name of God,
the most gracious and merciful,

I ask that you honour
the rights of this young woman.

Are you claiming that she has a right
to take a mahr without repercussion?

No, only asking that this Tribunal
not use that mistake

to take away her other rights.

Recall that the woman
who tutored the prophet's wives,

chastised even the great
Khalifa Umar,

Commander of the Believers.

"Why do you deny us
a right granted us by God?"

The rights granted women
by the Koran are sacrosanct.

As are a woman's obligations
according to the Koran.

Parents have obligations too.

The Hadith tells us the story
of Khansa

whose father married her to a man
against her wishes.

The prophet himself
revoked the marriage.

The prophet also said that righteous
women are devoutly obedient.

Miss al-Amatullah was obedient,
to the knowledge of her own heart.

Marriage is a mithaq,
a solemn covenant.

It can't be entered into
by misguided action.

If Fatimah resisted the marriage
in a wrong manner,

she resisted it for a right reason.

Islam taught her
that women are independent,

free to make contracts,
free to pursue education,

free to consent
to their own marriages.

Even if she erred,
the Koran tells us that God is merciful

and forgives much.

Should we not aspire
to do the same?

Petty Officer Elling, we've heard
evidence that you forged documents,

that you fraudulently
obtained transportation

from Al Khair to the United States
for your wife.

Objection.

The status of the defendant's
alleged married

is currently being litigated
in another venue.

I'll rephrase.

Petty officer, we've heard
that you broke several laws

in order to bring a young woman
to the U.S.

Yes, sir.

A woman you intended to marry.

- Yes, sir.
- Petty officer,

we would like to know how you felt
when you risked so much

to bring this woman into the country.

Yes, sir.

I guess I was in love.

You fell in love with a princess.
Romantic.

I didn't know she was a princess
at first, sir.

She was just Fanny.

Fatimah Fareeeha
Taarhira al-Amatullah.

Not at all like the kind of girl
you'd meet back in Illinois?

Actually, sir, not that different.

When did you find out
she was a princess?

When I asked her on a date, sir.

She told me she wasn't allowed
to be seen with me in public.

And yet you spent time together
anyway.

We used to meet
at the Botanical Garden.

Nobody much went there.

We'd just walk and talk.

While you were in Al Khair,

the only time you had together
were these few stolen moments?

Mostly.

We spent a night together
in a jeep once.

Well, I'm sure
the members get the picture.

Not like that, sir.

I got an urgent message from Ops.

My mom was having an operation
to diagnose a tumour.

It was my mom.

I felt like I was a million miles away.

Fanny held me all night.

Just held me,

till I could call my dad
and know my mom was okay.

Why do you suppose Fanny did that,
petty officer?

Because she loves me.

You're sure about that?

Yes, I am, sir.

And how do you feel about her?

I love her with all my heart, sir.

And so you broke these laws
so the two of you could be together?

- Yes, I did, sir.
- And you'd do it all again?

No, sir.

It was wrong, sir.

I did it without thinking.

It got me in trouble,
which I accept full responsibility for.

It made trouble for the Navy,
which I would fix if I could, but I can't.

And it got Fanny in terrible trouble.

Her life is at risk
for wanting to be with me.

I'm sorry about all of it.

I really am.

How long has the cord
been prolapsed?

Since right before we called you,
Dr. Chadway.

Foetal heart rate is falling again.

- She had an epidural?
- Two hours ago.

All right. Prepare for a C-section.

- Bud!
- The head's too far down.

Get me a vacuum and call Neonatal
for resuscitation at delivery.

I'll take it from here, Dr. Chadway.

- Where have you been, Dr. Gettis?
- With another patient.

Okay, Harriet, the next contraction,
get ready to push.

Petty Officer Elling.

Would you and your counsel
please stand?

You may announce the sentence.

Petty Officer Third Class
James Elling,

in consideration of your plea of guilty
to all charges and specifications

and your declared remorse,

this court-martial sentences you
to be reduced to the rank of seaman

and to forfeit $500 pay per month
for three months.

Members,
thank you for your service.

This court-martial is adjourned.

- No brig time?
- No brig time.

I gotta go see Fanny, sir.

Yes, you do.

Hey.

Hey. You won?

No brig time.

You on a break?

No, we're done.

You lost?

They said that my marriage to Mustafa
was valid.

No.

You don't have to go back, do you?

No, I divorced him.

I gave back the mahr.
The money from the villa.

Divorced? Just like that?

Oh, Islamic law
has some interesting wrinkles.

So you and I,

we're not really married?

We can be if you take this.

My mahr.

Your phone card?

There's almost $12 on it.

It's all I have.

Yes, I will marry you.

You know, it still may take some doing
to keep her in the country.

Well, she's officially an adulteress now
so she can't go home.

That strengthens our asylum claim.

Well, I give you exhibit A.

Judge sees that, can't hurt.

Here you go, gentlemen.

So what are we drinking to?

Women who appreciate the truth.

Let me know when you find one.

How about women who give
a rat's rump about our feelings?

Our mothers.

- To Mom.
- To Mama.

Hello?

Hi.

Yeah, I can do that.

Twenty minutes.

Bye.

Fraternising with the enemy, Mic?

More likely malinger with intent.

And if I get lucky, a little unlawful
detention. Good night, sir.

Tell Colonel MacKenzie
I expect her on her post at 0800.

He takes it up. He's running with it.
He's on a clear field.

Nobody to challenge him...

Oh, hell, I don't even like this game.

Lieutenant,
what are you doing here?

Harriet went into labour, sir.

She's sleeping now.

I didn't know where else to go.

You had the baby.

No wonder you look like hell, huh?

Sir,

Baby Sarah died.
