Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,384 --> 00:00:08,470
Sir, just got another report.
The enemy hit the Haverton.
2
00:00:08,637 --> 00:00:11,265
There was an explosion aft.
She's on fire.
3
00:00:11,432 --> 00:00:14,726
A P-3 spotted four bogies, incoming.
They're flying low, below radar, sir.
4
00:00:14,893 --> 00:00:17,396
The Lewiston's sinking,
admiral. She's abandoning ship.
5
00:00:17,563 --> 00:00:19,398
The Haverton's taken
missiles at midship, sir.
6
00:00:19,565 --> 00:00:21,358
How many is that now, admiral?
7
00:00:21,525 --> 00:00:23,901
We've lost an Aegis cruiser,
three destroyers.
8
00:00:24,068 --> 00:00:25,653
Four, if the Haverton goes down
9
00:00:25,820 --> 00:00:27,405
Any word from General West?
10
00:00:27,572 --> 00:00:30,533
No. And there's no sign the enemy
is turning back.
11
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:32,743
Son of a bitch.
12
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:37,081
I suggest you get on the horn
to Admiral Barr, tell him to counter.
13
00:00:37,248 --> 00:00:38,666
The carrier's been attacked.
14
00:00:38,833 --> 00:00:41,669
The bogies were small aircraft
loaded with explosives.
15
00:00:42,420 --> 00:00:44,505
They just flew right into the ship, sir.
16
00:00:44,672 --> 00:00:46,799
- How many got through?
All of them, sir.
17
00:00:46,966 --> 00:00:48,885
The Patrick Henry's on fire.
18
00:00:49,051 --> 00:00:50,219
What about Admiral Barr?
19
00:00:50,386 --> 00:00:52,889
One of the planes hit the bridge.
He's dead, general.
20
00:00:53,055 --> 00:00:55,099
The Bellingham's reporting
more incoming missiles.
21
00:00:55,266 --> 00:00:56,726
The Haverton's going down, admiral.
22
00:00:56,893 --> 00:00:59,645
This isn't supposed to be happening.
23
00:01:52,238 --> 00:01:54,573
I don't understand
how they got in there, sir.
24
00:01:54,740 --> 00:01:58,786
With no Navy or Air Force,
they took on the carrier battle group?
25
00:01:58,953 --> 00:02:01,122
Enemy launched small zodiac boats,
26
00:02:01,288 --> 00:02:03,165
crews had shoulder-fired missiles.
27
00:02:03,332 --> 00:02:06,877
Small corporate jets loaded
with, uh, fuel and TNT
28
00:02:07,044 --> 00:02:08,754
made runs straight at the carrier.
29
00:02:08,921 --> 00:02:10,506
What was the final tally, sir?
30
00:02:10,673 --> 00:02:12,841
Cruiser and four destroyers sunk.
31
00:02:13,007 --> 00:02:15,885
The Patrick Henry was hit
and had to withdraw from battle.
32
00:02:16,052 --> 00:02:17,345
Damn.
33
00:02:17,512 --> 00:02:19,180
Good thing it was just a war game.
34
00:02:19,347 --> 00:02:21,141
It may have been
a simulated exercise, sir,
35
00:02:21,307 --> 00:02:23,309
but someone's still going to have
to pay for it.
36
00:02:23,476 --> 00:02:25,437
Someone is. Have a seat.
37
00:02:25,603 --> 00:02:29,065
Operation Silent Spear
was a joint services op.
38
00:02:29,649 --> 00:02:32,360
Army General Anthony Manzarek
ran the show.
39
00:02:32,527 --> 00:02:37,115
Blue Team U.S. Forces
were led by Admiral Tucci.
40
00:02:37,282 --> 00:02:38,491
Who commanded the red team?
41
00:02:38,658 --> 00:02:42,495
- Marine Major General Lucas West.
- The general's a legend, sir.
42
00:02:42,662 --> 00:02:44,914
He led the most decorated battalion
in the Gulf War.
43
00:02:45,081 --> 00:02:47,083
He does have a reputation
for being a cowboy.
44
00:02:47,250 --> 00:02:50,002
Sounds like the type of officer
you'd want on your side in wartime.
45
00:02:50,169 --> 00:02:52,129
Apparently not in war games.
46
00:02:53,046 --> 00:02:57,301
General Manzarek stated there were
strict op rules governing the exercise.
47
00:02:57,468 --> 00:03:01,096
General West disobeyed most of them.
He's facing a court-martial.
48
00:03:02,055 --> 00:03:04,975
A two-star general for infractions
in a war game?
49
00:03:05,142 --> 00:03:06,560
Multiple acts of disobedience,
50
00:03:06,727 --> 00:03:08,729
and there's a charge
of reckless endangerment.
51
00:03:08,896 --> 00:03:11,231
It sounds extreme,
taking it all the way to court-martial.
52
00:03:11,398 --> 00:03:13,484
General Manzarek
didn't have a choice.
53
00:03:13,650 --> 00:03:16,236
He suggested
a punitive letter of reprimand,
54
00:03:16,403 --> 00:03:17,863
General West refused.
55
00:03:18,030 --> 00:03:19,531
He wants his day in court.
56
00:03:19,698 --> 00:03:23,994
Commander Turner, you'll prosecute.
Commander Rabb, you'll defend.
57
00:03:24,161 --> 00:03:26,913
You're leaving the colonel out
of a Marine matter, sir?
58
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,624
No. Colonel, you'll be presiding
on the bench.
59
00:03:32,794 --> 00:03:35,213
I'm, uh... I'm judging the case, sir?
60
00:03:35,379 --> 00:03:37,215
As I mentioned to Commander Rabb,
61
00:03:37,381 --> 00:03:41,636
given deployments, there's a shortage
of experienced personnel.
62
00:03:41,803 --> 00:03:46,099
For this case, consider yourself TAD
to the judiciary.
63
00:03:46,265 --> 00:03:48,392
- Yes, sir.
- That'll be all.
64
00:03:50,103 --> 00:03:52,230
- Aye, sir.
- Aye, sir.
65
00:03:55,358 --> 00:03:56,818
Question, commander?
66
00:03:56,984 --> 00:03:59,612
Uh, yes, sir. L... I was wondering...
67
00:03:59,779 --> 00:04:02,239
If I chose the colonel over you
because she's senior?
68
00:04:02,405 --> 00:04:04,908
By barely two months, admiral.
69
00:04:05,075 --> 00:04:08,495
Well, seniority had nothing
to do with it, commander, uh...
70
00:04:08,662 --> 00:04:11,581
I questioned your objectivity
71
00:04:11,748 --> 00:04:15,001
and your defence of a certain
plane captain in his court-martial.
72
00:04:15,168 --> 00:04:16,503
I solved that case, admiral.
73
00:04:16,670 --> 00:04:19,589
And I think I've come a long way
to distinguish myself since then, sir.
74
00:04:19,756 --> 00:04:23,677
Commander, this is not a debate.
75
00:04:23,844 --> 00:04:26,054
You'll get your shot. Dismissed.
76
00:04:26,972 --> 00:04:28,473
Aye, aye, sir.
77
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:45,865
Careful, sweetie.
78
00:04:46,031 --> 00:04:48,743
Heh, I know.
Hey, why don't you go on? I'll catch up.
79
00:04:48,909 --> 00:04:51,370
I'm not exactly in a hurry, Bud.
80
00:04:51,537 --> 00:04:55,541
Harriet, I'm gonna be walking
into this house every day of my life.
81
00:04:55,708 --> 00:04:56,876
Some days you won't be here.
82
00:04:57,042 --> 00:04:59,712
- The prosthesis is new. I want you...
- Sweetie.
83
00:05:01,630 --> 00:05:04,633
Harriet,
I couldn't have done this without you.
84
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,679
But I need for you to let me handle this
by myself, okay?
85
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,348
Okay.
86
00:05:26,738 --> 00:05:29,407
Trading a cockpit for a law office.
87
00:05:29,574 --> 00:05:31,409
Don't you miss combat,
commander?
88
00:05:31,576 --> 00:05:34,496
Every day, sir.
Looks like a smooth operation.
89
00:05:34,662 --> 00:05:36,664
Always smooth
when there are no bullets flying.
90
00:05:37,832 --> 00:05:39,542
But they'll be ready
91
00:05:39,709 --> 00:05:41,920
if the politicians
can get off their asses.
92
00:05:42,087 --> 00:05:45,799
That's not a view I'd broadcast, sir.
93
00:05:45,965 --> 00:05:47,217
Too late, commander.
94
00:05:47,383 --> 00:05:51,386
My big mouth's built me a solid ceiling
at two stars.
95
00:05:54,723 --> 00:05:56,475
Thirty years commanding troops,
96
00:05:56,642 --> 00:05:58,435
it's the first time
I've ever been relieved.
97
00:05:58,602 --> 00:06:01,855
It doesn't have to stay that way, sir.
We can keep this out of the courtroom.
98
00:06:02,022 --> 00:06:03,482
Coward's way, commander.
99
00:06:03,649 --> 00:06:06,985
They did their best to shut me down
on the battlefield,
100
00:06:07,152 --> 00:06:09,530
I won't go quietly now.
101
00:06:11,365 --> 00:06:13,826
I think you should know,
102
00:06:13,992 --> 00:06:15,911
red team wasn't supposed to win.
103
00:06:16,662 --> 00:06:19,540
Are you saying the game
was rigged, sir?
104
00:06:19,748 --> 00:06:23,961
More like scripted to ensure
a predetermined outcome.
105
00:06:24,711 --> 00:06:27,046
This case is simple.
106
00:06:28,172 --> 00:06:31,759
I fought the exercise
as I thought it should be fought.
107
00:06:31,926 --> 00:06:33,845
According to the enquiry, sir,
108
00:06:34,011 --> 00:06:36,305
when the battle carrier group
was assaulted by red team,
109
00:06:36,472 --> 00:06:39,058
you ignored
a direct cease-fire order.
110
00:06:39,225 --> 00:06:40,351
I couldn't reach my men.
111
00:06:40,518 --> 00:06:42,854
Blue team was jamming
our frequencies.
112
00:06:45,189 --> 00:06:48,943
I know my accusers say
I was trying to make a point, and I was.
113
00:06:49,110 --> 00:06:51,446
But I followed my orders
as I understood them.
114
00:06:51,612 --> 00:06:54,407
Well, that's our argument then, sir.
115
00:06:57,201 --> 00:06:59,162
I've led men into battle,
116
00:06:59,328 --> 00:07:02,123
seen some wounded,
watched some die.
117
00:07:02,290 --> 00:07:05,542
But never because of poor training
or lack of preparedness.
118
00:07:05,709 --> 00:07:07,753
That's what this is about.
119
00:07:14,801 --> 00:07:18,555
Hey. Tiner's brew has reached
yet another octane level. Want some?
120
00:07:18,722 --> 00:07:21,850
- I'm gonna go with the tea.
- Yeah.
121
00:07:25,937 --> 00:07:29,733
So l... I guess congratulations
are in order, Your Judgeship.
122
00:07:29,900 --> 00:07:32,027
Thanks. I think.
123
00:07:32,569 --> 00:07:33,945
You sure you're okay with this?
124
00:07:34,112 --> 00:07:36,073
Of course I'm okay.
Why wouldn't I be?
125
00:07:36,239 --> 00:07:39,200
We probably shouldn't be talking
about this, legally speaking.
126
00:07:39,366 --> 00:07:40,701
Why? We're friends, Mac.
127
00:07:40,868 --> 00:07:43,621
Friends talk,
and that's what we're doing. Talking.
128
00:07:43,788 --> 00:07:46,082
Heh, don't forget,
we're also adversaries.
129
00:07:46,248 --> 00:07:49,251
Certainly not in a coffee room.
In the courtroom occasionally.
130
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,461
That's exactly my point.
131
00:07:50,628 --> 00:07:52,713
This time, you won't be facing me
across the aisle,
132
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,340
but I'll be on the bench.
133
00:07:54,507 --> 00:07:56,467
You're not the least bit concerned?
134
00:07:56,634 --> 00:07:57,885
No.
135
00:07:58,761 --> 00:08:00,346
What?
136
00:08:00,930 --> 00:08:03,516
It's just... We've battled each other
so many times
137
00:08:03,682 --> 00:08:05,476
that I know your playbook
pretty well.
138
00:08:06,227 --> 00:08:09,230
I think I might have a couple passes
in my playbook you haven't seen yet.
139
00:08:09,396 --> 00:08:12,399
Won't stop me from throwing a flag
if I think you're playing the members.
140
00:08:12,566 --> 00:08:14,819
Well, I'm sure you'll be fair.
141
00:08:17,737 --> 00:08:18,780
Count on it.
142
00:08:23,076 --> 00:08:26,454
As the organiser,
I have an interest in seeing to it
143
00:08:26,621 --> 00:08:29,082
that everyone gets their facts right,
commander.
144
00:08:29,249 --> 00:08:31,167
But I think it's all pretty clear,
145
00:08:31,334 --> 00:08:34,295
General West was given op orders
for the exercise
146
00:08:34,462 --> 00:08:37,632
and one by one,
he chose to ignore them.
147
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:40,844
Sir, the general claims
he was merely playing the game
148
00:08:41,010 --> 00:08:42,887
and he was interpreting the orders.
149
00:08:43,054 --> 00:08:45,390
Yes,
I've heard General West's explanation.
150
00:08:45,557 --> 00:08:49,102
But I was also here
in the blue team command centre
151
00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:51,187
when he ignored my directive
to stand down.
152
00:08:51,354 --> 00:08:53,230
And he can explain that too, sir.
153
00:08:54,273 --> 00:08:57,693
Commander, every exercise
has its parameters.
154
00:08:57,860 --> 00:09:00,571
It's free play, but within limits.
155
00:09:00,738 --> 00:09:02,865
You're saying the red team
could have won, general?
156
00:09:03,031 --> 00:09:05,367
I selected General West
to lead the opposition
157
00:09:05,534 --> 00:09:07,703
because he's an expert
in red team play.
158
00:09:07,870 --> 00:09:10,080
You really think
that I would have chosen him
159
00:09:10,247 --> 00:09:13,542
if I wanted to rig the exercise?
160
00:09:14,209 --> 00:09:16,378
The man you should talk to
is Colonel Haller,
161
00:09:16,545 --> 00:09:19,381
General West's chief of staff
on this exercise.
162
00:09:19,548 --> 00:09:23,218
He's a good officer.
Served on my staff as a lieutenant.
163
00:09:23,385 --> 00:09:28,473
He can clarify
the general's factual interpretations.
164
00:09:31,476 --> 00:09:33,144
Enter.
165
00:09:33,311 --> 00:09:36,272
Excuse me, admiral. Your car needs
to go in for service tomorrow, sir.
166
00:09:36,439 --> 00:09:38,733
What time would you like
to leave here?
167
00:09:38,900 --> 00:09:42,195
Well, actually, I've asked, uh,
Meredith to give me a lift.
168
00:09:42,361 --> 00:09:43,654
We're gonna have lunch.
169
00:09:43,821 --> 00:09:45,531
You sure you wanna do that, sir?
170
00:09:45,698 --> 00:09:49,160
You wanna drive me
to the dealership that bad, Tiner?
171
00:09:49,327 --> 00:09:51,746
No, sir. It's just that...
172
00:09:51,913 --> 00:09:55,666
Well, admiral, from what you've
mentioned about Miss Cavanaugh, sir,
173
00:09:55,833 --> 00:09:58,628
I just thought getting into a car
with her...
174
00:10:01,547 --> 00:10:03,800
Sorry, sir. I was out of line.
175
00:10:06,593 --> 00:10:08,178
No, no, Tiner. That's all right.
176
00:10:08,345 --> 00:10:10,764
I've been trying to work up the nerve
to confront her
177
00:10:10,931 --> 00:10:14,392
about her penchant
for danger for about a week.
178
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,061
It doesn't sound easy, sir.
179
00:10:16,228 --> 00:10:18,355
It shouldn't be that hard either.
180
00:10:18,522 --> 00:10:20,023
Thanks for meeting me, colonel.
181
00:10:20,190 --> 00:10:23,360
I understand you were
General West's gatekeeper.
182
00:10:23,527 --> 00:10:26,071
I handled all communications
going through his headquarters.
183
00:10:26,238 --> 00:10:28,073
Generally, we avoided radio traffic.
184
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,533
We used motorcycle messengers
185
00:10:29,699 --> 00:10:31,785
and field phones
to avoid electronic eavesdropping.
186
00:10:31,952 --> 00:10:33,620
Uh-huh.
Sounds more like World War I.
187
00:10:33,787 --> 00:10:36,790
It worked. We had them off balance
from day one.
188
00:10:36,957 --> 00:10:38,500
How did you communicate
with the boats
189
00:10:38,667 --> 00:10:40,668
launching the assault
on the battle carrier group?
190
00:10:40,835 --> 00:10:43,087
We sent the attack order
over civilian radio.
191
00:10:43,254 --> 00:10:44,547
It was buried as a coded phrase
192
00:10:44,713 --> 00:10:47,675
in a broadcast prayer
by a local Muslim cleric.
193
00:10:47,842 --> 00:10:50,928
Brilliant. Sounds like General West
had all the bases covered.
194
00:10:51,095 --> 00:10:52,680
He's the best tactician I've seen.
195
00:10:52,847 --> 00:10:55,349
And I've served under quite a few,
General Manzarek included.
196
00:10:55,516 --> 00:11:00,062
These joint ops must be difficult, huh?
Divided loyalties.
197
00:11:01,105 --> 00:11:04,400
When I was assigned
to General West's team,
198
00:11:04,567 --> 00:11:07,111
I'd heard the stories
about how he was a little crazy.
199
00:11:07,278 --> 00:11:11,198
I learned going into battle, you want
that kind of crazy leading you.
200
00:11:11,365 --> 00:11:14,452
Well, that kind of crazy can get you
into trouble too, colonel.
201
00:11:15,327 --> 00:11:17,120
General West told me
about the difficulties
202
00:11:17,287 --> 00:11:18,788
communicating the cease-fire order
203
00:11:18,955 --> 00:11:21,082
to the troops assaulting
the battle carrier group.
204
00:11:21,249 --> 00:11:23,126
- Radio jamming.
- That's right, commander.
205
00:11:23,293 --> 00:11:24,627
There were no other options?
206
00:11:27,964 --> 00:11:30,550
General, you had a way
to communicate with your men,
207
00:11:30,717 --> 00:11:32,260
a dedicated emergency frequency.
208
00:11:32,427 --> 00:11:34,596
That frequency
was for mayday calls only.
209
00:11:34,763 --> 00:11:36,306
Real-world emergencies.
210
00:11:37,015 --> 00:11:38,975
That's a tough sell
in the courtroom, sir.
211
00:11:39,142 --> 00:11:43,646
As are a few choice words you used
to describe General Manzarek.
212
00:11:43,813 --> 00:11:46,816
In the heat of battle, commander,
you say things you regret.
213
00:11:46,983 --> 00:11:49,569
I take it you don't much like
the general, sir.
214
00:11:49,736 --> 00:11:52,155
We've locked horns over the years.
215
00:11:52,821 --> 00:11:56,283
I sense your confidence in our case
is dissipating, commander.
216
00:11:57,493 --> 00:12:01,038
I'm gonna be honest with you, general.
At this point, sir, it doesn't look good.
217
00:12:13,342 --> 00:12:14,426
What's your advice?
218
00:12:15,010 --> 00:12:17,179
We could go for a deal.
219
00:12:17,346 --> 00:12:20,849
You agree to immediate retirement,
no disciplinary action will be taken.
220
00:12:21,016 --> 00:12:22,601
You retain your pension
and benefits.
221
00:12:22,768 --> 00:12:25,771
Otherwise, I go to court-martial
and I stand to lose it all.
222
00:12:29,649 --> 00:12:32,110
I've never stood down from a fight.
223
00:12:32,735 --> 00:12:35,113
And I'm not starting now.
224
00:12:40,076 --> 00:12:41,577
- Excuse me, ma'am.
Yes?
225
00:12:41,744 --> 00:12:42,954
You coming on Saturday?
226
00:12:43,996 --> 00:12:45,039
The housewarming, ma'am.
227
00:12:45,206 --> 00:12:48,292
Oh, Harriet, I'm so sorry.
I forgot to R.S.V.P.
228
00:12:48,459 --> 00:12:51,212
That's okay, ma'am.
Is there anything I can do to help you?
229
00:12:51,379 --> 00:12:53,256
No, I'm fine. I just... I'm running late.
230
00:12:53,423 --> 00:12:55,967
Not like they're gonna
start without you.
231
00:12:56,592 --> 00:12:58,928
Sorry. You must be excited.
232
00:12:59,095 --> 00:13:00,138
Actually, I'm terrified.
233
00:13:00,304 --> 00:13:01,597
Well, that's understandable.
234
00:13:01,764 --> 00:13:05,559
A high-profile case, all eyes are on you
watching every move.
235
00:13:05,726 --> 00:13:09,229
- I haven't seen that much brass...
- I get the idea, Harriet.
236
00:13:09,396 --> 00:13:12,482
- You will do fine, ma'am.
- I have to do better than that.
237
00:13:12,649 --> 00:13:14,276
Make a mistake as a lawyer,
you recover.
238
00:13:14,443 --> 00:13:17,404
Knock one into the woods as a judge,
it's on your scorecard forever.
239
00:13:17,571 --> 00:13:19,698
That's what the Court of Appeals is for,
ma'am.
240
00:13:19,865 --> 00:13:21,199
To fix judges' screwups.
241
00:13:23,869 --> 00:13:25,412
Good luck, ma'am.
242
00:13:25,579 --> 00:13:28,331
General Manzarek,
when you drew up this exercise,
243
00:13:28,498 --> 00:13:30,709
you designed it as a free-play scenario,
correct?
244
00:13:30,876 --> 00:13:32,294
There are always some constraints.
245
00:13:32,461 --> 00:13:35,338
Why is that?
- We're testing tactics, technology.
246
00:13:35,505 --> 00:13:38,216
We set some limits
to prevent people from doing things
247
00:13:38,383 --> 00:13:40,302
that would negate
the value of the tests.
248
00:13:40,469 --> 00:13:43,971
And do you believe that General West
exceeded those limits, sir?
249
00:13:44,138 --> 00:13:47,475
Yes. He also recklessly
endangered personnel
250
00:13:47,641 --> 00:13:50,603
when he overflew the carrier group
against orders.
251
00:13:50,770 --> 00:13:53,647
Do you have any idea
what motivated his actions, sir?
252
00:13:53,814 --> 00:13:55,858
Objection. Calls for an opinion.
253
00:13:56,025 --> 00:13:57,860
On the contrary,
it calls for an assessment
254
00:13:58,027 --> 00:14:01,405
of a subordinate's behaviour
by his commanding officer.
255
00:14:01,572 --> 00:14:04,325
- It has probative value, Your Honour.
- Nice try, counsellor.
256
00:14:04,492 --> 00:14:07,036
I agree with the government objection.
Overruled.
257
00:14:07,203 --> 00:14:08,913
You've got to be kidding,
258
00:14:10,873 --> 00:14:12,458
Your Honour.
259
00:14:12,625 --> 00:14:14,668
You may answer the question,
general.
260
00:14:14,835 --> 00:14:18,379
General West assumes
that he has a monopoly on the truth
261
00:14:18,546 --> 00:14:21,299
when it comes
to how to prepare for a war.
262
00:14:21,466 --> 00:14:26,971
I believe that he's less motivated
by preparedness and more by ego.
263
00:14:27,889 --> 00:14:29,849
Thank you, general. Your witness.
264
00:14:31,935 --> 00:14:35,021
No cross at this time, Your Honour,
265
00:14:35,188 --> 00:14:38,483
but I reserve the right to recall
this witness at a later date.
266
00:14:39,192 --> 00:14:40,402
Your choice, commander.
267
00:14:47,784 --> 00:14:48,952
Oh.
268
00:14:50,912 --> 00:14:52,330
Thanks for driving.
269
00:14:52,497 --> 00:14:53,915
Oh, are you kidding?
270
00:14:54,082 --> 00:14:56,500
I love the open road.
271
00:14:56,667 --> 00:14:59,128
And you didn't know
I went to rally school, did you?
272
00:14:59,294 --> 00:15:01,046
- There's a lot I don't know.
Ha, ha.
273
00:15:01,213 --> 00:15:04,842
Oh, uh, do you want me to give you
a ride later to pick up your car?
274
00:15:05,008 --> 00:15:07,761
No. Um, I'II, uh...
275
00:15:08,595 --> 00:15:12,224
I'll get, uh, Tiner to give me a lift.
276
00:15:13,267 --> 00:15:15,060
A.J.
277
00:15:16,770 --> 00:15:19,189
A.J., is something wrong?
278
00:15:20,065 --> 00:15:23,736
Well, Meredith, you know,
at some point, we need to...
279
00:15:26,739 --> 00:15:28,907
...make plans for dinner
tomorrow night.
280
00:15:29,074 --> 00:15:30,825
Yeah, great.
281
00:15:30,992 --> 00:15:33,077
I have this incredible inspiration.
282
00:15:33,244 --> 00:15:36,247
You know those Korean steakhouses
where you get to grill your own food?
283
00:15:36,414 --> 00:15:41,377
Yeah, this doesn't involve juggling
knives and pepper shakers, does it?
284
00:15:41,753 --> 00:15:44,255
I'm sensing a little reluctance.
285
00:15:45,423 --> 00:15:47,467
Let's play it by ear, huh?
286
00:15:48,176 --> 00:15:50,052
Sure.
287
00:15:52,555 --> 00:15:53,598
I'll call you.
288
00:15:53,765 --> 00:15:55,224
Ciao.
289
00:16:01,939 --> 00:16:03,858
Afternoon, sir.
290
00:16:04,025 --> 00:16:06,943
- Was that Miss Cavanaugh, admiral?
- Yeah.
291
00:16:07,194 --> 00:16:08,236
Quite a woman, sir.
292
00:16:11,615 --> 00:16:12,657
Yeah.
293
00:16:12,824 --> 00:16:16,661
Do you believe that
General West exceeded the op orders?
294
00:16:16,828 --> 00:16:18,955
- In my judgement, yes.
- How, admiral?
295
00:16:19,122 --> 00:16:22,000
Day one he launched
a simulated missile attack.
296
00:16:22,167 --> 00:16:24,127
Several plane sensors recorded hits.
297
00:16:24,294 --> 00:16:25,962
They were downed along
with a C-17,
298
00:16:26,129 --> 00:16:28,715
which was our experimental
aerial communication headquarters.
299
00:16:28,882 --> 00:16:30,383
How was this outside the rules, sir?
300
00:16:30,550 --> 00:16:33,470
General West was supposed to
have disabled his air defence systems.
301
00:16:33,637 --> 00:16:35,764
Did the general employ
any other tactics
302
00:16:35,931 --> 00:16:37,849
that were outside the bounds, sir?
303
00:16:38,016 --> 00:16:40,352
He launched a simulated
chemical weapons attack
304
00:16:40,519 --> 00:16:42,020
contrary to the rules of engagement.
305
00:16:42,187 --> 00:16:44,188
And he attacked our ships
using small boats
306
00:16:44,355 --> 00:16:47,108
and private planes
when civilian assets were prohibited.
307
00:16:47,274 --> 00:16:48,609
In your judgement, sir,
308
00:16:48,776 --> 00:16:53,364
did the general's tactics jeopardise
the training goals of this exercise?
309
00:16:53,531 --> 00:16:56,325
We were testing
battlefield communications.
310
00:16:56,492 --> 00:16:59,703
Communications is exactly
what General West targeted.
311
00:16:59,870 --> 00:17:01,872
Thank you, admiral.
312
00:17:02,039 --> 00:17:03,749
Your witness.
313
00:17:04,166 --> 00:17:07,628
Admiral, would you agree that rules
are open to interpretation, sir?
314
00:17:07,795 --> 00:17:09,547
Yes, commander, within reason.
315
00:17:09,713 --> 00:17:12,842
You testified, sir, that General West
shot down several of your planes,
316
00:17:13,008 --> 00:17:14,677
including your aerial nerve centre.
317
00:17:14,844 --> 00:17:16,345
- Correct?
- Affirmative, commander.
318
00:17:16,512 --> 00:17:17,805
Weren't you on that plane, sir?
319
00:17:17,972 --> 00:17:21,224
Weren't you, in fact, killed, admiral,
in simulation?
320
00:17:21,391 --> 00:17:22,684
In simulation.
321
00:17:22,851 --> 00:17:25,061
Yet you continued
to command troops, sir?
322
00:17:25,228 --> 00:17:28,690
The legitimacy of the kill
was a matter of debate.
323
00:17:28,857 --> 00:17:31,192
So I was reconstituted, commander.
324
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,739
- Like soup, admiral?
- Objection. Counsel is editorializing.
325
00:17:35,905 --> 00:17:37,949
More like playing to the crowd.
Sustained.
326
00:17:38,116 --> 00:17:39,325
Careful, commander.
327
00:17:39,492 --> 00:17:42,245
Sorry, Your Honour. I didn't realise
it was such a tough room.
328
00:17:44,748 --> 00:17:48,793
Admiral, was your timely return
from the grave within the rules, sir?
329
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,796
Not strictly, but it was necessary
to keep the exercise going.
330
00:17:51,963 --> 00:17:54,507
Well, it sounds to me
like the rules kept changing, admiral.
331
00:17:54,674 --> 00:17:59,344
We did what we did because
General West kept disobeying orders.
332
00:17:59,511 --> 00:18:01,180
According to your interpretation, sir.
333
00:18:01,346 --> 00:18:04,600
Objection. The commander seems
to have forgotten who's being tried.
334
00:18:04,767 --> 00:18:07,394
I know. Sustained.
335
00:18:08,812 --> 00:18:10,814
No more questions.
336
00:18:17,571 --> 00:18:19,907
- Colonel.
- Tell me I'm not the last one here.
337
00:18:20,074 --> 00:18:21,325
No, just getting started.
338
00:18:21,492 --> 00:18:23,660
- Can I take your jacket and purse?
- Yeah, thanks.
339
00:18:23,827 --> 00:18:25,746
- You look great, Bud.
- Oh, I'm feeling great.
340
00:18:25,913 --> 00:18:28,540
And I hear you're gonna be
the next Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
341
00:18:28,707 --> 00:18:31,251
- Right.
- Come on in.
342
00:18:31,418 --> 00:18:34,712
- Harriet, wow, quite a spread.
- Welcome, colonel.
343
00:18:34,879 --> 00:18:37,840
Thanks. Harm.
- Mac.
344
00:18:41,135 --> 00:18:45,056
- You should really try the crab cakes.
- Oh, they look dangerous.
345
00:18:45,223 --> 00:18:47,558
Now, was that a ruling
or an opinion?
346
00:18:48,434 --> 00:18:50,978
Come on, Harm. Can we just bury
the hatchet for one day?
347
00:18:51,145 --> 00:18:55,274
Well, I'd love to, but I'd have to pull it
out of my client's head where you left it.
348
00:18:55,441 --> 00:18:57,151
Uh, shrimp roll? Shrimp?
349
00:18:57,318 --> 00:18:59,028
We're not having this discussion.
350
00:18:59,195 --> 00:19:02,365
Well, at least we agree
on one thing, huh? Excuse me.
351
00:19:06,786 --> 00:19:08,912
- Hi, Mac.
- Hi.
352
00:19:10,539 --> 00:19:12,082
- Great party.
- Thank you.
353
00:19:12,249 --> 00:19:13,750
Excuse me.
354
00:19:16,628 --> 00:19:18,755
You must be Colonel MacKenzie.
355
00:19:18,922 --> 00:19:21,216
Uh, Colonel MacKenzie,
Corporal Shawn Stiles.
356
00:19:21,383 --> 00:19:23,927
- I've heard a lot about you.
All bad, I hope.
357
00:19:24,511 --> 00:19:26,388
What's going on with the music,
lieutenant?
358
00:19:27,013 --> 00:19:31,017
What's wrong with my music?
- It's just a little Jurassic, sir.
359
00:19:31,184 --> 00:19:35,063
All right, corporal.
Let's go digging, shall we? Colonel.
360
00:19:35,522 --> 00:19:36,565
Ma'am.
361
00:19:37,482 --> 00:19:39,776
He's doing really well, Harriet.
362
00:19:39,943 --> 00:19:41,361
Today.
363
00:19:41,528 --> 00:19:43,989
We're not out of the woods yet,
though.
364
00:19:44,156 --> 00:19:45,656
- Hey, lieutenant.
Tiner.
365
00:19:45,823 --> 00:19:49,493
Sir, I still owe you that house tour.
366
00:19:49,660 --> 00:19:51,454
Lead on.
367
00:19:57,334 --> 00:20:01,547
I, uh, wanted a chance
to talk to you, sir.
368
00:20:02,006 --> 00:20:03,716
About what's next?
369
00:20:03,883 --> 00:20:07,553
Yes, sir. I have been dying
to get back to work.
370
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,182
Well, I'm waiting on a call
from your team of physicians. Um...
371
00:20:11,348 --> 00:20:15,227
Your return to limited duty
is based on their recommendation.
372
00:20:15,394 --> 00:20:16,645
And yours, sir.
373
00:20:16,812 --> 00:20:18,606
Well, you know where I stand.
374
00:20:18,773 --> 00:20:20,483
So it's up to the doctors, sir.
375
00:20:20,648 --> 00:20:23,234
Yeah. You just gotta wait it out.
376
00:20:26,571 --> 00:20:29,783
- So let's see this house.
- Yes, sir.
377
00:20:31,326 --> 00:20:33,620
You received a cease-fire
order from General Manzarek.
378
00:20:34,454 --> 00:20:36,206
How did General West respond?
379
00:20:36,372 --> 00:20:37,999
He said we couldn't do anything.
380
00:20:38,166 --> 00:20:41,461
Our radio frequencies were jammed
so we couldn't contact our men.
381
00:20:41,628 --> 00:20:44,297
Was there no way to reach them?
382
00:20:44,464 --> 00:20:46,341
We had an emergency frequency,
but...
383
00:20:46,508 --> 00:20:48,343
Why didn't you use that?
384
00:20:48,510 --> 00:20:50,762
General West said it wasn't an option.
385
00:20:50,929 --> 00:20:53,515
What else did General West say?
386
00:20:58,977 --> 00:21:01,230
General West said
he was only interested
387
00:21:01,397 --> 00:21:03,982
in sending one message
to General Manzarek.
388
00:21:04,149 --> 00:21:05,943
Thank you, colonel.
389
00:21:06,610 --> 00:21:08,237
Your witness.
390
00:21:10,989 --> 00:21:13,992
Colonel, you said the general wanted
to send a message.
391
00:21:14,159 --> 00:21:16,495
Was his intent merely
to push his own agenda?
392
00:21:16,662 --> 00:21:18,330
Objection. Calls for an opinion.
393
00:21:18,497 --> 00:21:20,374
On the contrary, it's an assessment
394
00:21:20,541 --> 00:21:22,668
of a superior's performance
by a subordinate.
395
00:21:22,835 --> 00:21:26,004
I believe Commander Turner used
the term probative value.
396
00:21:26,171 --> 00:21:28,215
I'll allow it. Colonel?
397
00:21:29,425 --> 00:21:30,467
In my experience,
398
00:21:30,634 --> 00:21:33,428
I don't know a general
who doesn't push his agenda.
399
00:21:33,594 --> 00:21:34,971
That said,
400
00:21:35,138 --> 00:21:37,598
I consider General West
sincere in his desire
401
00:21:37,765 --> 00:21:40,852
to prepare us for an enemy
that won't be following any script.
402
00:21:41,018 --> 00:21:43,896
Thank you, colonel. That'll be all.
403
00:21:44,063 --> 00:21:45,898
This court is in recess
until 0900 tomorrow.
404
00:21:48,568 --> 00:21:51,779
Admiral. Afternoon, sir.
405
00:21:53,072 --> 00:21:54,824
Your morale seems better.
406
00:21:54,991 --> 00:21:57,869
Well, I finally deciphered
the colonel, sir.
407
00:21:58,035 --> 00:21:59,245
Things are looking up.
408
00:21:59,412 --> 00:22:01,456
Well, you might wanna look up
at this.
409
00:22:01,622 --> 00:22:03,708
Scripting an exercise is no way
410
00:22:03,875 --> 00:22:05,668
to find out if we're prepared for war.
411
00:22:05,835 --> 00:22:07,503
Look, I've known
General Lucas West
412
00:22:07,670 --> 00:22:09,671
since we were young officers
in Vietnam.
413
00:22:09,838 --> 00:22:12,799
When I got this e-mail, I hit the roof.
414
00:22:12,966 --> 00:22:14,301
You don't stage a war game,
415
00:22:14,468 --> 00:22:17,596
then tie the enemy team's hands
to ensure that the good guys win.
416
00:22:17,763 --> 00:22:21,975
General West used exactly the tactics
the Iraqis or al Qaeda are gonna use
417
00:22:22,142 --> 00:22:23,268
and he got sacked.
418
00:22:23,810 --> 00:22:26,897
Apparently,
the, uh, general sent an e-mail
419
00:22:27,064 --> 00:22:29,900
stating his case
to a few professional friends.
420
00:22:30,067 --> 00:22:32,277
I just finished moving
the members off of a view
421
00:22:32,444 --> 00:22:35,572
of General West as an egomaniac
who'll stop at nothing to prove a point.
422
00:22:35,739 --> 00:22:36,990
And now he...
423
00:22:37,157 --> 00:22:39,242
He pushes the "send OIlie" key.
424
00:22:39,409 --> 00:22:42,913
He's got a history of saying
what he thinks, career be damned.
425
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,373
He must feel it's worth it.
426
00:22:44,539 --> 00:22:48,501
Yeah, maybe it's time
for an insanity plea.
427
00:22:54,173 --> 00:22:56,550
I picked up some
newspapers on the way in, sir.
428
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,887
"General calls exercise a sham."
429
00:23:00,971 --> 00:23:03,724
"Ready or not? General says 'not." '
430
00:23:03,891 --> 00:23:05,476
This is my personal favourite, sir.
431
00:23:05,643 --> 00:23:08,729
"General on scripted war-game,
'fix was in." '
432
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,065
The truth prevails, commander.
433
00:23:11,232 --> 00:23:13,901
Sir, you're being court-martialed
for exceeding orders
434
00:23:14,068 --> 00:23:15,236
in a war game you conducted
435
00:23:15,403 --> 00:23:17,947
as though it were your own
personal training demonstration.
436
00:23:18,114 --> 00:23:19,907
Now you're courting the media.
437
00:23:21,033 --> 00:23:22,200
I have my reasons, commander.
438
00:23:22,367 --> 00:23:25,453
Like sticking it to General Manzarek
on the front page, sir?
439
00:23:25,620 --> 00:23:29,082
This is not a pissing contest between
the Army and the Marine Corps.
440
00:23:29,249 --> 00:23:32,419
My only objective here
is to prepare our troops for war.
441
00:23:32,585 --> 00:23:34,963
And I am trying to keep you
in uniform, sir,
442
00:23:35,130 --> 00:23:36,631
so you'll be there to lead them.
443
00:23:38,591 --> 00:23:40,260
So,
444
00:23:40,969 --> 00:23:42,011
what's the plan?
445
00:23:42,178 --> 00:23:44,305
We answer the charges, sir.
446
00:23:44,472 --> 00:23:47,434
We put your field commanders
on the stand,
447
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,730
have them testify to the fact that
you played the game smart, not dirty.
448
00:23:51,896 --> 00:23:53,189
Think that'll work?
449
00:23:53,356 --> 00:23:57,360
If they can't speak eloquently to
your leadership and your character, sir,
450
00:23:57,527 --> 00:23:59,653
we still have one card left to play.
451
00:23:59,820 --> 00:24:03,073
- What's that?
- We put you on the stand, sir.
452
00:24:05,617 --> 00:24:07,077
According to targeting sensor data,
453
00:24:07,244 --> 00:24:09,788
you recorded 12 blue team
aircraft kills.
454
00:24:09,955 --> 00:24:12,416
- How?
- We used passive radar.
455
00:24:12,583 --> 00:24:15,294
Acquired the targets,
took them down.
456
00:24:15,461 --> 00:24:17,004
Was this within the rules?
457
00:24:17,171 --> 00:24:20,174
The op orders required that we disable
only the primary radar,
458
00:24:20,340 --> 00:24:21,633
not secondary systems.
459
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,011
We just went off the script,
commander.
460
00:24:24,178 --> 00:24:27,306
I know people say these exercises
aren't about winning and losing,
461
00:24:28,182 --> 00:24:29,767
but we're preparing for war.
462
00:24:29,933 --> 00:24:33,854
If it's not about that,
then what is it about?
463
00:24:34,521 --> 00:24:37,607
Commander Moseley, you were
in charge of General West's Naval ops?
464
00:24:37,774 --> 00:24:39,734
That's correct.
- When you launched the attack
465
00:24:39,901 --> 00:24:42,487
on the carrier group,
did you employ civilian assets?
466
00:24:42,653 --> 00:24:46,783
We used private boats and planes.
But we applied flags and markers.
467
00:24:46,949 --> 00:24:50,495
I believe that made them military assets
in compliance with op orders.
468
00:24:50,661 --> 00:24:53,498
Thank you, commander.
Your witness.
469
00:24:53,664 --> 00:24:56,459
Commander, the zodiac boats
were launched from fishing trawlers.
470
00:24:56,626 --> 00:24:59,128
Were the trawlers
flying red team flags?
471
00:24:59,295 --> 00:25:00,338
No, commander.
472
00:25:00,505 --> 00:25:04,133
They sound like civilian assets to me.
Weren't you stretching the rules?
473
00:25:04,300 --> 00:25:05,343
I don't know, commander.
474
00:25:05,510 --> 00:25:08,054
Maybe you should ask the men
and women who survived the attack
475
00:25:08,221 --> 00:25:10,556
on the Cole
if they were hit by civilian assets.
476
00:25:10,723 --> 00:25:13,892
Al Qaeda has their own definition
for rules of engagement.
477
00:25:15,394 --> 00:25:18,730
Colonel Swift, you launched
a simulated chemical weapons attack
478
00:25:18,897 --> 00:25:20,399
on Blue Team Forces, correct?
479
00:25:20,565 --> 00:25:21,608
That's correct.
480
00:25:21,775 --> 00:25:23,902
We hit them with tear gas
as soon as they hit beach,
481
00:25:24,069 --> 00:25:25,821
simulating chem-tipped artillery.
482
00:25:25,987 --> 00:25:28,615
Op orders banned
weapons of mass destruction.
483
00:25:28,782 --> 00:25:30,117
Weren't you violating the rules?
484
00:25:30,283 --> 00:25:32,911
Not as I define
"weapons of mass destruction."
485
00:25:33,078 --> 00:25:34,955
These weren't scuds
dropped on a city.
486
00:25:35,122 --> 00:25:37,582
It was a limited tactical delivery
on a military target.
487
00:25:37,749 --> 00:25:38,834
Thank you, colonel.
488
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,585
Your witness.
489
00:25:40,752 --> 00:25:44,005
Now, surely, colonel, you can see
why the blue team might dispute
490
00:25:44,172 --> 00:25:46,550
your definition
of "weapons of mass destruction."
491
00:25:46,717 --> 00:25:49,260
- Objection. Argumentative.
- Overruled.
492
00:25:49,427 --> 00:25:51,178
Heh. Unbelievable.
493
00:25:51,345 --> 00:25:53,723
You may answer the question, colonel.
494
00:25:55,307 --> 00:25:57,977
In war, disputes are settled
on the battlefield.
495
00:25:58,144 --> 00:25:59,687
The bully
makes the rules, right?
496
00:25:59,854 --> 00:26:01,313
Now, that's argumentative.
497
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,232
- Sustained.
- The Geneva Convention
498
00:26:03,399 --> 00:26:04,692
prohibits chemical weapons.
499
00:26:04,859 --> 00:26:08,154
Wasn't the red team required
to follow the international rules of war?
500
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,449
The Geneva Convention wasn't exactly
giving me my orders, commander.
501
00:26:11,615 --> 00:26:13,617
No, General West was.
502
00:26:13,784 --> 00:26:15,661
And he ordered you to gas the enemy,
correct?
503
00:26:15,828 --> 00:26:17,079
Objection.
504
00:26:17,246 --> 00:26:19,874
Overruled. Answer the question.
505
00:26:20,041 --> 00:26:23,585
The general gave the order to attack,
if that's what you're asking.
506
00:26:23,918 --> 00:26:25,754
But you ask any squad leader,
they'll tell you
507
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,298
the biggest threat on the battlefield
is chemical weapons.
508
00:26:28,465 --> 00:26:30,467
Now, we need to be ready.
509
00:26:30,842 --> 00:26:32,635
General West understands that.
510
00:26:34,304 --> 00:26:35,722
Thank you, colonel.
511
00:26:36,556 --> 00:26:40,393
Given the hour, we'll recess
and reconvene tomorrow at 0930.
512
00:26:41,436 --> 00:26:44,397
The pièce de résistance.
513
00:26:44,981 --> 00:26:46,608
Go ahead.
514
00:26:49,069 --> 00:26:50,320
So how do you like it?
515
00:26:53,782 --> 00:26:57,369
This is truly amazing.
I mean, Meredith, the whole dinner.
516
00:26:57,535 --> 00:27:01,330
The tuna sashimi, the risotto,
the veal.
517
00:27:01,497 --> 00:27:03,749
I can't believe it.
518
00:27:03,916 --> 00:27:07,961
You must have been cooking
all afternoon.
519
00:27:08,754 --> 00:27:10,839
I have a confession to make.
520
00:27:11,006 --> 00:27:12,424
I got home late.
521
00:27:12,591 --> 00:27:15,594
This all came from Le Jardin.
I hope you're not disappointed.
522
00:27:15,761 --> 00:27:18,597
Oh, no,
a good dinner's a welcome change.
523
00:27:24,645 --> 00:27:28,273
You know, ha, ha, believe it or not,
524
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,568
there was a time
when I couldn't cook at all.
525
00:27:31,735 --> 00:27:34,029
When was that?
526
00:27:34,613 --> 00:27:36,197
High school.
527
00:27:36,364 --> 00:27:40,618
I remember one day in home ec,
I had an accident.
528
00:27:40,785 --> 00:27:44,872
I was julienning potatoes
and the knife slipped.
529
00:27:45,289 --> 00:27:47,792
It took the ER doc 30 stitches.
530
00:27:48,543 --> 00:27:52,130
Oh, you seem
to have come through it okay.
531
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,549
Oh, no. No, not me.
532
00:27:54,716 --> 00:27:56,467
My cooking partner.
533
00:27:56,634 --> 00:27:59,470
Oh, poor Dennis.
He was the only boy in class.
534
00:27:59,637 --> 00:28:03,182
Well, he learned to play tennis
with his left hand.
535
00:28:03,808 --> 00:28:06,894
But I still feel bad
about the scholarship.
536
00:28:07,687 --> 00:28:09,480
A. J?
537
00:28:11,941 --> 00:28:16,319
What's the matter? I feel as though
you're not telling me something.
538
00:28:17,946 --> 00:28:20,407
It's about work, isn't it?
539
00:28:20,824 --> 00:28:22,159
Um...
540
00:28:22,325 --> 00:28:25,328
The commander and the colonel
are going at it again.
541
00:28:25,495 --> 00:28:27,330
And you feel responsible.
542
00:28:27,497 --> 00:28:30,625
You are not their father, A.J.
They're adults.
543
00:28:30,792 --> 00:28:33,628
And as soon as they realise
that all of this passion
544
00:28:33,795 --> 00:28:37,966
is coming from a place
that is not work-related, then...
545
00:28:38,133 --> 00:28:40,719
Well, then all the Sturm und Drang
will go away.
546
00:28:40,886 --> 00:28:42,471
To be replaced
by more of the same.
547
00:28:42,637 --> 00:28:46,391
Talk about two people who are
candidates for couples' therapy.
548
00:28:47,350 --> 00:28:48,809
Well, maybe they're not alone.
549
00:29:03,824 --> 00:29:05,618
Roberts.
550
00:29:06,035 --> 00:29:07,370
Well, good afternoon, sir.
551
00:29:08,746 --> 00:29:10,956
Yes, sir. I will.
552
00:29:11,123 --> 00:29:12,833
Thank you.
553
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,668
Who was it, sweetie?
554
00:29:14,835 --> 00:29:17,797
It was the admiral.
He wants to see me on Thursday.
555
00:29:17,963 --> 00:29:19,048
How did he sound?
556
00:29:20,424 --> 00:29:21,634
Same as always.
557
00:29:22,218 --> 00:29:23,636
- Gruff.
- III tempered.
558
00:29:23,803 --> 00:29:26,930
- Impatient.
- Pretty much all that, yeah.
559
00:29:30,141 --> 00:29:33,144
Harriet, we've been through
the worst of it.
560
00:29:33,311 --> 00:29:35,814
Everything else is...
561
00:29:36,856 --> 00:29:38,858
...just what it is.
562
00:29:39,025 --> 00:29:40,777
General West, as red team leader,
563
00:29:40,944 --> 00:29:42,612
what was your mission
in this exercise?
564
00:29:42,779 --> 00:29:45,990
To present the U.S. Forces with
an aggressive and determined foe.
565
00:29:46,157 --> 00:29:48,910
And to that end, sir, you used tactics
you deemed appropriate?
566
00:29:49,077 --> 00:29:50,245
I believe so, commander.
567
00:29:50,412 --> 00:29:53,498
- Within op orders, sir?
As I understood them.
568
00:29:53,665 --> 00:29:57,168
I have a different view of training
from some of my, uh, superiors.
569
00:29:57,335 --> 00:29:59,045
I don't believe in scripted games.
570
00:29:59,212 --> 00:30:01,088
I think we should be ready
for all comers.
571
00:30:01,255 --> 00:30:04,341
And with this mindset, sir,
you approached this exercise, correct?
572
00:30:04,508 --> 00:30:07,094
I was in the Gulf War in '91.
573
00:30:07,261 --> 00:30:08,887
I led my battalion into a town
574
00:30:09,054 --> 00:30:11,807
where Shia villagers had been gassed
to death.
575
00:30:12,349 --> 00:30:14,601
I saw the bodies of men,
women and children
576
00:30:14,768 --> 00:30:16,270
twisted and contorted.
577
00:30:17,312 --> 00:30:20,149
I didn't just see civilians murdered,
I saw my men,
578
00:30:20,315 --> 00:30:21,692
saw what could happen.
579
00:30:22,651 --> 00:30:24,528
I vowed then
to make sure we were prepared
580
00:30:24,695 --> 00:30:26,989
for the evil we were facing.
581
00:30:27,448 --> 00:30:29,867
The evil we face now.
582
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,952
Thank you, general.
583
00:30:32,119 --> 00:30:34,038
Your witness.
584
00:30:34,663 --> 00:30:38,041
You referred to your service
in the Gulf War, sir.
585
00:30:38,207 --> 00:30:40,460
Do you remember an incident
that happened on a road
586
00:30:40,626 --> 00:30:42,837
ten miles west of Basra?
587
00:30:43,004 --> 00:30:44,047
May we approach?
588
00:30:47,425 --> 00:30:48,760
I'm familiar with this incident.
589
00:30:48,926 --> 00:30:51,012
It happened 10 years ago
and has no bearing here.
590
00:30:51,179 --> 00:30:53,514
I disagree, Your Honour.
It goes to pattern of behaviour.
591
00:30:53,681 --> 00:30:55,016
The issues are unrelated.
592
00:30:55,183 --> 00:30:57,185
The defence opened this avenue,
Your Honour,
593
00:30:57,351 --> 00:30:59,687
when the general used his record
to justify his actions.
594
00:30:59,854 --> 00:31:02,273
I'll allow it, for now.
595
00:31:08,988 --> 00:31:11,991
Do you recall the incident, sir?
596
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,370
Yes, my battalion attacked
a column of Iraqi Republican guard.
597
00:31:16,536 --> 00:31:19,498
As they were retreating.
Isn't that true, sir?
598
00:31:19,664 --> 00:31:21,500
They fired on my men.
599
00:31:21,666 --> 00:31:24,961
This attack happened 12 hours after
a cease-fire had been declared.
600
00:31:25,128 --> 00:31:27,339
- Isn't that right?
- Yes. I hadn't received word.
601
00:31:27,506 --> 00:31:30,133
Well, your CO said
that the order had been sent.
602
00:31:30,300 --> 00:31:31,593
But not received, commander.
603
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,054
An enquiry, sir,
found that you had your forces
604
00:31:34,221 --> 00:31:35,889
miles from where
they were supposed to be.
605
00:31:36,056 --> 00:31:37,849
You took out 80 tanks
and armoured vehicles
606
00:31:38,392 --> 00:31:40,811
and killed
over 200 Republican Guard.
607
00:31:40,977 --> 00:31:43,438
A reporter later called it a turkey shoot.
Am I right, sir?
608
00:31:43,605 --> 00:31:44,940
Those were his words.
609
00:31:45,107 --> 00:31:47,359
Let me get this straight, general.
610
00:31:47,526 --> 00:31:50,945
You were deep behind enemy lines
against orders
611
00:31:51,112 --> 00:31:56,033
attacking an enemy that was retreating
under a flag of truce.
612
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,870
I guess that's what happens when you
play fast and loose with the rules, sir.
613
00:32:00,037 --> 00:32:01,122
Objection.
614
00:32:01,288 --> 00:32:03,958
Withdrawn. Thank you, general.
615
00:32:17,596 --> 00:32:19,515
Morning, general.
616
00:32:24,478 --> 00:32:27,897
You know that five separate enquiries
cleared me of all charges.
617
00:32:28,064 --> 00:32:29,691
I know that now.
618
00:32:30,316 --> 00:32:33,111
Did you say we should have gone
all the way to Baghdad, general?
619
00:32:33,278 --> 00:32:37,991
I'm trained to see military solutions,
not political ones.
620
00:32:38,241 --> 00:32:40,785
That's the big difference
between General Manzarek and me.
621
00:32:40,952 --> 00:32:42,787
I did some research, sir.
622
00:32:42,954 --> 00:32:44,998
General Manzarek served
in the Gulf War too.
623
00:32:46,249 --> 00:32:48,460
He testified against you
in the initial enquiry
624
00:32:48,626 --> 00:32:50,128
into the incident in '91.
625
00:32:50,295 --> 00:32:52,172
He was there that day.
626
00:32:54,799 --> 00:32:56,259
Is it true, general?
627
00:32:58,511 --> 00:33:03,182
You mean did I fire on innocent men
retreating under a white flag?
628
00:33:08,145 --> 00:33:11,190
The Iraqis had fired on my troops,
commander.
629
00:33:11,774 --> 00:33:14,526
I was gonna make damn sure
they didn't do it again.
630
00:33:29,875 --> 00:33:31,585
Can I help you, sir?
631
00:33:31,752 --> 00:33:33,712
Oh, I know the way, petty officer.
632
00:33:33,879 --> 00:33:35,464
Thank you.
633
00:33:46,891 --> 00:33:48,601
Oh.
634
00:33:48,768 --> 00:33:51,938
I should have knocked.
635
00:33:52,814 --> 00:33:54,857
You must be Lieutenant Roberts.
636
00:33:55,483 --> 00:33:57,360
Yeah, what's left of him.
637
00:33:59,278 --> 00:34:02,115
Lieutenant Commander
Tracy Manetti.
638
00:34:03,282 --> 00:34:06,869
This was your office before
it was Lieutenant Singer's office.
639
00:34:07,036 --> 00:34:10,581
Before it was your office.
640
00:34:10,748 --> 00:34:12,166
And you didn't know?
641
00:34:12,333 --> 00:34:14,460
It's all right, commander.
642
00:34:14,627 --> 00:34:16,712
It's a heck of a way to find out.
643
00:34:16,878 --> 00:34:20,841
Well, my life has been full
of surprises recently.
644
00:34:21,591 --> 00:34:22,634
Nice to meet you, ma'am.
645
00:34:22,801 --> 00:34:25,470
Now I see what they mean.
646
00:34:26,388 --> 00:34:29,182
You're a kind of a legend
around here.
647
00:34:29,349 --> 00:34:33,186
To that I'd add, the very picture
of a northern gentleman.
648
00:34:34,688 --> 00:34:36,356
Thank you, ma'am.
649
00:34:42,195 --> 00:34:45,532
Sir. Lieutenant Roberts reporting
as ordered, sir.
650
00:34:46,658 --> 00:34:49,578
Sorry, lieutenant. I forgot
to mention Commander Manetti.
651
00:34:50,328 --> 00:34:52,580
I'm sure space is getting short
around here, admiral.
652
00:34:53,748 --> 00:34:54,957
Shall we talk in my office?
653
00:34:56,208 --> 00:34:58,419
You have news, sir?
654
00:34:59,462 --> 00:35:01,464
My office.
655
00:35:04,717 --> 00:35:06,343
Hey.
656
00:35:06,510 --> 00:35:08,846
Putting your life in Tiner's hands,
huh?
657
00:35:09,013 --> 00:35:12,016
No, I made this fresh.
You want some?
658
00:35:12,683 --> 00:35:14,685
I promise you won't taste the poison.
659
00:35:16,312 --> 00:35:17,772
Tough day in court yesterday.
660
00:35:17,938 --> 00:35:20,024
Oh, you noticed.
661
00:35:23,152 --> 00:35:24,862
Excuse me.
662
00:35:26,697 --> 00:35:29,699
You know,
I wasn't expecting any favours.
663
00:35:32,118 --> 00:35:34,871
With any other judge,
I'd have won this case days ago.
664
00:35:35,580 --> 00:35:38,583
I'm sorry I'm not complying
with your schedule.
665
00:35:39,292 --> 00:35:42,128
Every time I work an advantage,
you slap me down.
666
00:35:42,295 --> 00:35:44,798
- Because you ask for it.
- You're relentless, you know that.
667
00:35:44,964 --> 00:35:46,007
Hmm.
668
00:35:46,174 --> 00:35:48,093
So I've heard. I'm the hanging judge.
669
00:35:48,259 --> 00:35:49,928
The source of all your problems,
right?
670
00:35:50,095 --> 00:35:51,179
That's right.
671
00:35:51,346 --> 00:35:55,266
But though it pains me to admit it,
672
00:35:55,433 --> 00:35:56,643
you're good.
673
00:35:57,811 --> 00:36:00,605
You don't let me get away with
the stuff I pull on other judges.
674
00:36:00,772 --> 00:36:02,399
You really do know my playbook.
675
00:36:02,565 --> 00:36:05,067
Most of all though, Mac...
676
00:36:05,859 --> 00:36:07,903
...you know the law.
677
00:36:08,278 --> 00:36:10,280
And I hate you for it.
678
00:36:10,989 --> 00:36:12,574
I'll take that as a compliment.
679
00:36:12,741 --> 00:36:16,620
Good. Remember this magnanimity
when I'm on the bench, okay?
680
00:36:16,787 --> 00:36:18,288
Excuse me, colonel, commander.
681
00:36:18,455 --> 00:36:20,999
The admiral's called a meeting
in the conference room.
682
00:36:21,166 --> 00:36:23,001
Thanks, Tiner.
683
00:36:26,463 --> 00:36:27,840
As you all know,
684
00:36:28,006 --> 00:36:30,551
given the severity
of Lieutenant Roberts' injuries
685
00:36:30,718 --> 00:36:32,302
and resulting complications,
686
00:36:32,469 --> 00:36:35,681
there's been a delay
in the disposition of his case.
687
00:36:35,848 --> 00:36:39,059
So I got on a conference call
with his, uh, team of physicians
688
00:36:39,226 --> 00:36:41,352
at Bethesda this morning
689
00:36:41,519 --> 00:36:45,148
and they approved his return
to JAG on limited duty.
690
00:36:45,314 --> 00:36:46,816
He'll be rejoining us in two weeks.
691
00:36:46,983 --> 00:36:49,235
That's great news, admiral.
- I second that.
692
00:36:49,402 --> 00:36:51,821
Limited duty
is not permanent reinstatement, sir.
693
00:36:51,988 --> 00:36:53,322
No.
694
00:36:53,489 --> 00:36:56,117
If Lieutenant Roberts wants
to return to full duty,
695
00:36:56,284 --> 00:36:58,995
he's gonna have to get
by the Physical Evaluation Board.
696
00:36:59,620 --> 00:37:03,124
The doctors informed me that
85 percent of the disabled personnel
697
00:37:03,291 --> 00:37:05,209
that go before the board
are found unfit.
698
00:37:05,376 --> 00:37:07,420
They're given
disability discharges, sir?
699
00:37:07,962 --> 00:37:10,381
I'm assuming you told
the lieutenant all this, admiral.
700
00:37:10,548 --> 00:37:11,591
About an hour ago.
701
00:37:11,758 --> 00:37:13,134
How did he take it, sir?
702
00:37:14,385 --> 00:37:16,720
Guardedly optimistic.
703
00:37:16,887 --> 00:37:19,139
As I think we all should be.
704
00:37:19,306 --> 00:37:20,682
Bud's a lawyer.
705
00:37:20,849 --> 00:37:22,642
A missing leg
shouldn't slow him down.
706
00:37:22,809 --> 00:37:25,604
Not here. But if he was billeted
to a ship or a war zone...
707
00:37:25,771 --> 00:37:27,397
Full duty is full duty, Sturgis.
708
00:37:27,564 --> 00:37:30,233
Commander Rabb, excuse me, sir.
You have a visitor.
709
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,027
Thank you.
710
00:37:33,028 --> 00:37:35,864
Look, Sturgis, we need to talk.
711
00:37:36,031 --> 00:37:37,449
General West?
712
00:37:37,616 --> 00:37:39,951
A deal is not gonna be easy now,
Harm.
713
00:37:40,118 --> 00:37:42,204
Give me a moment, will you?
I'll come and see you.
714
00:37:42,371 --> 00:37:43,955
Hmm.
715
00:37:47,250 --> 00:37:48,377
Good to see you again, commander.
716
00:37:48,543 --> 00:37:50,962
Colonel Haller, have a seat.
717
00:37:51,755 --> 00:37:54,632
I heard about what happened
with General West.
718
00:37:55,383 --> 00:38:00,596
Well, it's not the first time past acts
have come back to haunt an officer.
719
00:38:00,763 --> 00:38:03,391
I know. That's why I'm here.
720
00:38:04,308 --> 00:38:07,770
I have information I think will cast
this whole matter in a different light.
721
00:38:08,521 --> 00:38:11,649
I delivered that
to General Manzarek myself.
722
00:38:12,817 --> 00:38:14,985
At the time,
I thought it was the right thing to do.
723
00:38:15,653 --> 00:38:19,407
General West was a loose cannon,
dangerous, they all said.
724
00:38:19,573 --> 00:38:22,618
I believed it.
I don't believe it anymore.
725
00:38:22,785 --> 00:38:24,662
Your timing is a little off, colonel.
726
00:38:24,829 --> 00:38:26,372
I screwed up, commander.
727
00:38:26,539 --> 00:38:27,998
It's a hard thing to admit.
728
00:38:28,165 --> 00:38:31,918
And General Manzarek has had
a lot to do with my advancement.
729
00:38:32,085 --> 00:38:37,298
But a good officer, a good man
is being crucified in that courtroom.
730
00:38:37,465 --> 00:38:38,633
And it's gotta stop.
731
00:38:39,342 --> 00:38:42,595
This will put a bullet in your career.
I hope you realise that.
732
00:38:43,930 --> 00:38:45,432
I do.
733
00:38:54,649 --> 00:38:56,693
There's a statue of MacArthur
at West Point
734
00:38:56,860 --> 00:39:00,196
I walked by every day for four years.
735
00:39:00,363 --> 00:39:02,449
Below there's a quote:
736
00:39:02,615 --> 00:39:05,909
"Your mission remains fixed,
determined, inviolable.
737
00:39:06,076 --> 00:39:07,661
It is to win our wars.
738
00:39:08,620 --> 00:39:11,623
All other public purposes will
find others for their accomplishment.
739
00:39:11,790 --> 00:39:16,920
Yours is the profession of arms,
the will to win.
740
00:39:17,087 --> 00:39:21,633
The sure knowledge that in war,
there is no substitute for victory,
741
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,802
that the very obsession
of your public service
742
00:39:23,969 --> 00:39:27,890
must be duty, honour, country."
743
00:39:29,099 --> 00:39:31,268
I put on this uniform for a reason,
commander.
744
00:39:33,896 --> 00:39:37,566
For a while, I forgot.
General West reminded me.
745
00:39:44,238 --> 00:39:47,825
I chose General West
despite his reputation for freelancing
746
00:39:47,992 --> 00:39:51,245
because he's an effective
OPFOR commander.
747
00:39:51,412 --> 00:39:54,665
General, you have described
his red team tactics
748
00:39:54,832 --> 00:39:56,417
in previous war-games as:
749
00:39:56,584 --> 00:39:59,629
"Disruptive to the maintenance
of good order and discipline."
750
00:39:59,796 --> 00:40:00,838
Isn't that right, sir?
751
00:40:01,005 --> 00:40:03,132
I may have said that.
752
00:40:04,884 --> 00:40:10,348
Your Honour, this is a copy
of a report outlining, in broad strokes,
753
00:40:10,515 --> 00:40:12,684
the red team battle plan
for this exercise.
754
00:40:12,850 --> 00:40:15,061
It was provided
to General Manzarek
755
00:40:15,228 --> 00:40:17,230
by General West's chief of staff,
Colonel Haller,
756
00:40:17,397 --> 00:40:19,564
five months
before the exercise began.
757
00:40:19,731 --> 00:40:23,235
I'd like it entered and marked
for identification as defence Exhibit E.
758
00:40:23,402 --> 00:40:25,278
Objection.
The government hasn't seen this.
759
00:40:25,445 --> 00:40:26,947
It recently came to light.
760
00:40:27,114 --> 00:40:28,532
Approach, counsellor.
761
00:40:33,245 --> 00:40:35,247
Eleventh hour disclosure
doesn't sit well with me.
762
00:40:35,414 --> 00:40:36,498
You should know that.
763
00:40:36,665 --> 00:40:39,000
I had no alternative.
I'm sure if you look, Your Honour,
764
00:40:39,167 --> 00:40:42,462
you'll see the probative value
far outweighs any procedural problem.
765
00:40:42,629 --> 00:40:44,006
You're not gonna allow this.
766
00:40:46,049 --> 00:40:47,175
I'm afraid I am.
767
00:40:48,260 --> 00:40:50,262
You may proceed, commander.
768
00:40:50,429 --> 00:40:52,556
Thank you, Your Honour.
769
00:40:53,682 --> 00:40:56,976
Colonel Haller has made a statement
he delivered this to you personally.
770
00:40:57,143 --> 00:40:58,561
Do you recognise it?
771
00:40:58,728 --> 00:41:01,022
Yes, commander. I've seen it.
772
00:41:01,188 --> 00:41:03,190
Then, sir,
five months prior to these war-games
773
00:41:03,357 --> 00:41:05,317
you had a copy of a report
774
00:41:05,484 --> 00:41:08,696
briefly outlining
General West's proposed tactics.
775
00:41:08,863 --> 00:41:11,282
The passive radar,
the chemical weapons,
776
00:41:11,449 --> 00:41:13,617
the civilian assets.
Isn't that right, sir?
777
00:41:13,784 --> 00:41:15,202
That's correct, commander.
778
00:41:15,369 --> 00:41:18,164
In broad strokes, not specifics.
779
00:41:18,330 --> 00:41:21,709
Well, now, sir, knowing
what General West had planned,
780
00:41:21,876 --> 00:41:23,753
if you had a problem with his tactics,
781
00:41:23,919 --> 00:41:27,131
why didn't you do something about it
in the five months prior to the game?
782
00:41:29,717 --> 00:41:33,553
Because, sir, the game was rigged,
wasn't it?
783
00:41:33,720 --> 00:41:37,390
The plan was to give General West
enough rope to hang himself,
784
00:41:37,557 --> 00:41:41,603
to get rid of an officer you had branded
as disruptive and corrosive.
785
00:41:41,770 --> 00:41:43,146
Isn't that right, sir?
786
00:41:43,313 --> 00:41:46,524
Like rules in a war game,
I guess evidence, too,
787
00:41:46,691 --> 00:41:49,694
is open to interpretation,
commander.
788
00:41:50,945 --> 00:41:55,116
Training, tactics, technology,
they all matter
789
00:41:55,784 --> 00:41:57,660
when it comes
to preparing us for war.
790
00:41:57,827 --> 00:42:00,830
And those who don't acknowledge it
791
00:42:00,997 --> 00:42:04,876
are as great a threat to us
as our enemies.
792
00:42:11,507 --> 00:42:14,843
Thank you, general. That will be all.
793
00:42:25,979 --> 00:42:28,649
Will the accused and counsel
please rise?
794
00:42:29,942 --> 00:42:31,193
You may publish your findings.
795
00:42:32,111 --> 00:42:35,489
"Major General Lucas West,
United States Marine Corps,
796
00:42:35,656 --> 00:42:39,118
on the charge and specification
of reckless endangerment,
797
00:42:39,284 --> 00:42:42,246
this court finds you not guilty.
798
00:42:42,413 --> 00:42:44,580
On the charge and specification
799
00:42:44,747 --> 00:42:48,334
of wilful disobedience
of a superior commissioned officer,
800
00:42:48,501 --> 00:42:51,963
this court finds you not guilty."
801
00:42:54,799 --> 00:42:57,176
Court is adjourned.
802
00:42:59,178 --> 00:43:00,805
Thank you, commander.
803
00:43:00,972 --> 00:43:02,640
I'm really not the one to thank, sir.
804
00:43:02,807 --> 00:43:05,852
Colonel Haller's a good man.
The service needs more like him.
805
00:43:06,019 --> 00:43:07,979
Congratulations, general.
806
00:43:08,146 --> 00:43:10,023
It feels good
to see the other side win.
807
00:43:10,189 --> 00:43:12,775
Let's hope the victory
is reserved for the battlefield.
808
00:43:12,942 --> 00:43:13,985
Yes, sir.
809
00:43:14,152 --> 00:43:16,821
If you two will excuse me,
I owe a good man a drink.
810
00:43:16,988 --> 00:43:19,364
- Gentlemen.
- Sir.
811
00:43:20,824 --> 00:43:21,908
I'm glad this one's over.
812
00:43:22,075 --> 00:43:25,954
Yeah, you and I both. An appeal
before this judge would be murder.
813
00:43:26,121 --> 00:43:28,332
You two seem okay with the verdict.
814
00:43:28,498 --> 00:43:31,001
Well, we restrict our differences
to the workplace.
815
00:43:31,168 --> 00:43:34,796
I'll remember that next time I pass
one of you up after a basketball game.
816
00:43:34,963 --> 00:43:37,215
I was gonna grab some dinner.
You two care to join me?
817
00:43:37,382 --> 00:43:40,010
- Depends who's buying.
- I'm feeling rich.
818
00:43:40,177 --> 00:43:41,845
What, you get extra pay
for being a judge?
819
00:43:42,012 --> 00:43:43,180
I should look into this.
820
00:43:43,347 --> 00:43:44,973
Don't.
