Con, sonar, I have a
submerged contact, bearing 1-8-0.

Sonar, con, aye.

Let's see if we
can get her to react.

Go active.

Confirmed active, 1-8-0, aye.

She's detected us, sir.

Evading to the east.

We'll assume she's unfriendly.

Attention in the control room.

We've confirmed an
unidentified submarine

in South Korean waters.

Will monitor but
will not pursue.

Craft entering the
reef, sir, bearing 1-7-5.

That channel's no
wider than 15 feet.

We caught ourselves a minnow.

Detecting a metallic
scraping, Skipper.

Don't tell me she's
hit the damn thing.

She's surfacing, sir.

Officer of the Deck,

take us to periscope
depth. Aye, aye, sir.

Diving Officer of the Watch,
proceed to periscope depth.

Proceeding to
periscope depth, aye.

I hold a North Korean midget
submarine on this bearing.

Smoke rising from
its sail, crew on deck.

She's sinking.

Officer of the Deck, any
other craft in the area?

Negative, sir.

Then inform the crew
there will be guests for chow.

Aye, aye, sir.

Surface the boat and
ready a boarding party.

Hey, Bud.

Welcome back, Commander.

Thanks.

Hey.

Hey, Commander.

Hey, Harriet.

Harriet...

is there, uh,

something I should know about?

No, sir. Just busy, sir.

Oh. The Imes cases, huh?

Are you, uh, well-rested, sir?

You bet.

Well, be prepared not to be.

Listen, um...

Sir, they have you

in Commander
Turner's old office,

and I think there may
have been a small animal

that died in the wall in there.

I've notified public works.

I'm sorry, sir.

Commander.

My office.

Yes, sir.

Be right back.

Anything we need to talk about?

Not at the moment, sir.

Mm-hmm.

I don't have to worry
about you then, huh?

No, sir.

You are, uh, semi-content?

No, sir.

Well... I guess
you'd like to, uh,

get away from here
for a little while, huh?

I wouldn't disagree
with that, Admiral.

Well, I'm sending you
T-A-D to the Sea of Japan.

Have a seat.

That'd be very
far from here, sir.

You'll be boarding a
U.S. fast attack submarine.

Thought you'd like that.

That'd be like going home, sir.

Mm, not quite.

USS Cathedral City
rescued ten North Korean

submariners in South
Korean territorial waters.

They're still aboard, sir?

Nearest port is

Chinhae, which is off
the boat's mission pattern.

If they dock, it'd raise flags.

State Department wants
to get their hands around it

before, uh, they're
assaulted by the press.

North Koreans spying, sir?

See, there's a...

there's a classified South
Korean military facility

within recon distance, but
nothing yet's been proven.

Feasibility of recovering

the vessel is being assessed.

The crew being treated
as survivors or combatants,

Admiral?

Waiting for a determination.

You'll get one, sir.

Just make it fast.

They're seriously overcrowded.

Understood, sir. Anything else?

Yeah.

Come back with a new attitude.

Aye, sir.

Here you are, sir.

That's it, thank you.

You need some help?

I'm all right.

You sure?

I'd appreciate it, Commander.

Be my pleasure.

There you go.

Ah, thank you.

Manager needed in Photo.

We need a manager in Photo.

Ah, yeah. Mm-hmm.

Are you okay?

Well, I am now.

High blood pressure.

Ran out of pills four days ago,

and they say you don't
never just stop like that.

I was a... seaman, '42 to '45.

Really?

Yeah.

If-if I'm not out of
line, is this a result...?

Oh, oh, no, no, no, no.

Uh, I lost this on a
bus accident two weeks

after my discharge.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Well, no need to be.

I manage.

But I would do better

if I could get along on
that disability that they pay.

I got a little
behind in my rent.

Landlord tossed me.

Well, where do you stay now?

A men's shelter.

Well, have a good
night, Commander.

Do you need a lift?

Oh, no, no, no.

Not as long as I got these two.

Terrence Minnerly?

Yes, sir.

And how are you tonight?

You want to raise your
arm above your head

and turn around, please?

Is there a problem, Officer?

The receptionist at the office
building across the street

has accused this man of robbery.

He's good.

Let's go.

Just so that we're
on the same page, sir,

I've been tasked to do more

than serve as your interpreter.

I am aware we have
different agendas, Lieutenant.

I'll make sure
you get your intel.

My senior was all
over my six about it.

He fears that we may
not be able to raise

the North Korean sub,

and no one knows how long
we can hang onto these guys.

So you're the man.

My first assignment, sir.

They needed my language skills.

I'm sure you're up to it.

Keep telling me that, Commander.

Feeling the pressure?

Want to do it right, sir.

And Commander,

I'm going to need
time with these men

on my own.

I'm clear on that, Lieutenant.

I hope you are, sir.

The collision with the reef

must have penetrated
the pressure hull.

We suspect water leaked inside,
shorted out an electrical panel,

which caught fire.

Took her eight
minutes to go under.

You did the right
thing, Skipper.

Tell that to my crew.

20 of them are
already hot-racking.

An additional 12
seriously pushes our limits.

How's the food supply?

Low. We're close to the
end of our deployment.

Mm. We intend to be expedient.

And I appreciate it.

Where are we headed, sir?

Forward torpedo room.

You weren't able
to isolate them, sir?

Not without
compromising security.

This is First Class
Stotts, our corpsman.

This is Commander
Turner, investigating JAG.

Lieutenant Yi from
Navy Intelligence.

It's a pleasure, sirs.

You want to brief them
on the medical status

of the North Korean submariners?

One broken wrist,
various cuts and burns.

Another is experiencing
respiratory difficulty

from smoke inhalation.

Nothing serious.
They're all lucid.

Carry on, gentlemen.

Thank you, sir.

He couldn't get his
prescription filled,

so he called the HMO.

They tell him he's
not in the system.

They give him a
runaround for four days.

And that's reason
to commit robbery?

Well, he was trying to get them

to correct their mistake.

He went to the
corporate office in person.

He tries to get by
the receptionist.

She threatens to call
the security guard.

In an... in an act
of desperation,

he stuck his hand

in his pocket, and he...

he ordered her to
hand over her purse.

Why is it you want
to help this man?

'Cause he's a good man.

He's not a thief, Mac.

All he took was enough money

to pay for the prescription
he couldn't get.

Look...

Mac... the guy's a homeless vet.

He was sticking up for himself.

You know, he's had
to go the last 60 years

without the benefits
afforded veterans

because he had the
misfortune to lose his arm

after he'd been discharged.

All good reasons,

but age and circumstance
are not excuses

for illegal behavior.

Look, if anyone
deserves a break,

this guys deserves a break.

Harm, you don't have the time.

Let the civilian
authorities handle it,

and concentrate on
the 27 Imes cases

you have to review.

You have at least twice as many

as the rest of us.

Well, how am I going to say no?

The real question is,

how many all-nighters
do you have in you?

Commander, glad I caught you.

The admiral wants
you to have these.

What are they?

Lieutenant Singer v.
Lieutenant Commander Imes.

Six cases in all, sir.

Was he smiling when
he gave them to you?

Slightly.

I'm being tested. Put
'em under the arm.

I'd be happy to help you
carry them to your car, sir.

I got 'em.

Oh...

I'll just, uh...

I'll steer him in
the right direction.

I'll hook him up with
a public defender

and advise him from afar.

He's homeless.

How are you going to do that?

Well, I got that covered.

You found him a place?

Well, temporarily.

He's on your couch.

They have calmed
down, Commander.

Do we think any of
them speak English?

I tested for that, sir.

Believe we can talk freely.

Then we'll start
with the skipper.

Chief, if you'll escort this man

to the officers' wardroom.

Yes, sir.

He refuses to
leave his crew, sir.

Then we'll question him here.

As you were, chief.

Aye, sir.

That will allow them to cook up
a common story, Commander.

Well, how do we know that
hasn't already happened?

They haven't heard
my questions yet, sir.

But isolating him
might shut them down.

Sir, it's just not
the way it's done.

It is now.

As captain of the vessel,
what was your mission?

To protect North
Korean sovereignty.

In South Korean waters?

Not intentionally.

We're a small vessel.

Engine trouble made it difficult

to fight offshore currents.

He wants us to believe
that he drifted in?

That's what he's saying, sir.

I'm still asking the
questions here, Lieutenant.

Just jumping on
an opportunity, sir.

I asked him if he had

surveillance equipment on board.

He said no.

I informed him that we plan

to raise his vessel

and if he would like
to stand by his answer.

He replied that we
were the aggressors

by running his boat

into the reef.

Tell him that if he
refuses to cooperate,

he may not be allowed
to return to his country.

You asked the
million-dollar question, sir.

Have we offended them?

Four of them.

The other six were encouraged.

Be specific.

They want to defect, Commander.

That's about the worst
good news I've heard.

Six defectors and
four combatants.

Is that how you
see it, Commander?

I do, Skipper.

We better split them up.

I'll put the six friendlies

in nine man berthing,

keep the four combatants
where they are.

More security there.

Can't berth my own
crew in either place,

which means I've just lost

nine more racks.

Can you make that work?

It took the X.O. three hours

to lay out the last
watch schedule.

This one will tie
his brain in knots.

When do you expect

the chain of command
to authorize the extraction

of the North Koreans, sir?

Hard to say.

State Department
will have to rethink,

given that we now
have defectors.

I will consider
this an opportunity

to further interrogate, sir.

Please do.

Patience is, no doubt, the key.

You seem to have a ready
supply of that, Skipper.

Don't let appearances fool you.

I'm counting the minutes

till these men
are out of my hair.

Thanks for the robe.

My pleasure.

You comfortable on the couch?

Yeah, yeah.

No-no problem.

Commander?

Why are you doing this?

I, uh, wanted to help.

'Cause I got one arm?

It's because you deserve better.

I never got overseas.

You served, Terrence.

That's what counts.

I suppose.

Can I ask you a
question, Terrence?

What have you been
doing since the war?

Not a lot.

Well, it's been 60 years.

You must have
got up to something.

I never married, or found a job

that I could relate
to for very long,

but I was always able
to take care of myself,

so... up till now,

everything was fine.

We're going to
get you past this.

Hmm.

You got a long night
ahead of you, so don't feel

that you got to keep me company.

All right.

We'll talk in the morning.

Mm.

But I do feel bad

about that girl that I held up.

You could write her
a letter of apology.

Might encourage the
Commonwealth Attorney's Office

to settle.

If you think it'll help.

Talk to your lawyer about it.

See what he thinks.

Don't stay up too late.

Don't have much choice.

Good night.

Good night, Commander.

Any luck, Lieutenant?

The defectors
are not talking, sir.

They want proof they
won't be sent back.

What kind of proof?

Their feet on our soil, sir.

Technically, that's the case.

For them, it's about
where we dock, sir.

Is there some
common cultural theme

you can exploit?

No, sir.

What about the combatants?

As you might guess,
Commander, they're combative.

Have you had a problem

understanding these
men, Lieutenant?

Did you see a problem, sir?

No, but I can only assume

that there's some
dialect difference

between North and South Korea.

I don't know to what extent.

May I ask where
you live, Commander?

D.C.

Do you have a problem

understanding
blacks from Florida?

Point taken. My apologies.

Do I annoy you, Lieutenant?

I'm just frustrated, sir.

Generally?

We're just different
people, Commander.

If that's the way you see it.

I think it's the
way you see it, sir.

You'll need to explain
that, Lieutenant.

Just something I sense, sir.

If I've said things
to offend you,

they were unintentional.

I believe they were, sir.

Where are you from, Lieutenant?

Los Angeles.

Your family still there?

In the house I was raised, sir.

What's your dad do?

Nothing much, sir.

He owned a liquor
store for 12 years,

was shot during a robbery,

and when he recovered,

he retired,

and pretty much keeps
to himself these days.

That's unfortunate.

My mother would agree with
you on that point, Commander.

As you were.

Orders just came in from Sasebo.

Good news, Skipper?

A CH-53 will be extracting
you and all ten North Korean

survivors in 12 hours.

Ah, you look relieved.

I haven't felt this good
since I hit the Reno slots.

Matt... hey, good morning.

Like clockwork.

Uh, did Mrs. Del Mucci stop by?

Three times yesterday.

She brought two dresses,

a grammar textbook,
and a bean casserole.

She's a good neighbor, huh?

Can't get past the
hairs on her cheek.

That's a small
price to pay for help.

I don't need her help.

Mattie, look, I don't care
how long you've lived alone.

You are still a minor
without parental supervision.

Now, you may know
how to run a business,

but frozen pizza,
dirty overalls,

and television is
only going to take you

so far.

That's why I'm waiting for you.

Mattie,

this is going to be a
bit of an uphill battle.

Now, the fact that your father
is still alive complicates me

becoming your guardian.

Spoken like a lawyer.

Well, when am I
going to see you again?

As soon as I can
see over my desk.

I'm going to see you
in-in a couple of days.

Mattie, I'm not going
to abandon you.

I got planes to gas, Harm.

Okay.

All right, look, I-I'll call
you tomorrow, okay?

I-I'll be here.

Commander Rabb?

Yeah.

Chris Nicoletti, Public
Defender's Office?

Come on in, Counselor.

Whoa, what is that?

A rat.

Died in the walls.

They tell me
they're working on it.

You get used to it.

Have a seat.

No, that's all right.
I can't stay anyway.

Oh, I know what you mean.

I'm up against it myself.

I got maybe a half an hour.

Oh, five minutes for me.

I'm off the case.

Why?

Well, unfortunately,

Mr. Minnerly's
disability is $213

above the established
poverty line.

The man can't pay his rent.

Well, that's not a qualifier.

It's strictly a numbers game.

What, so you're out?

By law.

I recommend you take
over the case yourself.

I can't do that,
Counselor. I'm buried.

I barely have enough time

to sleep.

Then he's going to
have to hire an attorney.

What, with all that extra cash?

I realize that
this seems unfair.

It isn't unfair,
Mr. Nicoletti, it's perverted.

I don't write the
rules, Commander.

I'm sorry.

Good luck.

Hey, hey, Bud.

Oh, hi, sir.

Listen, I have a
civilian pro bono case

that needs attention.

Oh, I'm a...

Now's not a really
good time, sir.

I'm, uh, reviewing
my Imes cases.

Well, we all are.

Then you understand, sir.

Well, how many do you have?

Enough to push my schedule back.

Well, give me a number.

Two.

Bud...

Sir, I really do have
a full plate here.

I-I've got to, uh, prepare

for Petty Officer La
Porte's sentencing hearing.

What, are you arguing
the death penalty?

Life imprisonment.

She spied against her country.

You'll get it.

And of course, there's a...

There's a new baby
in the house, sir.

What, you don't want to help?

I do, sir, I do.

If I was allowed to, I'd...

The admiral put you up to this.

I'm not the only one, sir.

What, am I being punished?

You might want to
consider it a hazing, sir.

This is ridiculous...

Okay, calm down.

You'll get in there in a second.

There a problem here, chief?

Survivor using the head, sir.

He's been in there
half the night, sir.

Eight minutes, Commander.

It's from eating all that rice.

You resent this
man, Petty Officer?

We all do, sir.

These guys have
made our lives hell.

You can dislike
him as your enemy,

but you will respect
him as a man,

no matter what he eats.

Am I clear on this?

Yes, sir.

If I may, sir.

We're all a bit worn out.

Things get said in frustration.

Not on subs they don't.

Get the corpsman in here.

Aye, aye, sir.

I've altered my prior
diagnosis, Skipper.

You're ruling out
smoke inhalation?

It appears to be viral, sir.

Explain.

He's experiencing
respiratory trauma,

has a dry cough and a 101 fever.

Flu symptoms.

Possibly, sir.

What else could it be?

Here's my problem.

I checked the symptoms

against my reference sources,

and, uh, you need
to keep in mind, sirs,

I don't have the
kind of equipment

that can guarantee a diagnosis.

What's your suspicion?

Skipper, I've tried
for the last hour

to rule out this possibility,

but it looks like this man
has contracted SARS.

Officer of the Deck,

prepare to ventilate.

Aye, aye, sir. Diving
Officer, prepare to ventilate.

Prepare to ventilate, aye.

Vessel's at
periscope depth, sir.

We are at five-five
feet, Skipper.

Raise the snorkel mast.

Diving Officer, raise
the snorkel mast.

Raising the snorkel mast, aye.

She's ventilating, sir.

She's ventilating, Skipper.

Atmosphere samples
in one half hour.

Aye, aye, sir, taking atmosphere
samples at 16-30-zulu.

You're lost your
rack, Commander.

I've moved the sick defector
to the X.O.'s stateroom,

sealed it off with plastic
sheeting and duct tape,

designated it a quarantine area.

I'll make do.

We now have North Koreans

occupying three
separate compartments.

What's the plan with the EABs?

Wearing these too long
can cause headaches

and diminish brain function.

They'll come off as soon
as we exchange the air.

Will it be safe?

One can only hope.

SARS is spread through
person-to-person contact.

That would include transmittal
through coughing and sneezing,

which means every molecule
on this boat is suspect.

In that case, I would recommend

we all be checked for symptoms.

You and I are
about to be the first.

Hey.

I can't help you, Harm.

You're off-limits.

Mac... I'm overwhelmed.

As predicted.

Public defender dropped the guy.

The system is killing him.

Well, then, take them on.

He needs somebody like you.

I would if I could,
but I-I can't fit him in.

Even if I could... hell,

the admiral would
never authorize it.

Every time I turn a corner,
he tosses another hoop

in my path. And how do
you think he's going to react

when he sees me
jumping through that hoop?

With forgiveness.

He always lets
you slide. Get out.

You can't deny it.
Of course I can...

a-a-and how's this supposed
to help you get what you want?

Mac, I-I-I don't
have a strategy.

You were right.

I'm coming to you

with my hat in my hand.

Look, I-I'm busy, too, you know.

Yeah, but you're smart, see.

You'd know just what to do.

Yeah, smart enough to
know when I'm being snowed.

All right.

Sorry to waste your time.

Look... I...

I'll meet with him.

If I can fit it in,
I'll let you know.

You were off the hook.

Why did you jump back on?

Because if you were me,
you would have said yes

at "I'm overwhelmed."

Give me his number.

I'll do you one
better. Mr. Minnerly.

Sir, I would like you to
meet your new attorney,

Colonel Sarah MacKenzie.

Problem, chief?

They won't remove
their EABs, sir.

They still believe the
air is contaminated, sir.

Reassure them
that the air is safe.

They're still
refusing, Commander.

Well, they can't
wear them indefinitely.

It'll affect their thinking

and reduce our ability
to get information.

You do what you
have to do, chief.

Yes, sir. Sir...

Do you really want
to force the issue?

You could end up
agitating them, sir.

Chief.

Done, sir.

Chief...

Did that amuse you?

I was just happy it
worked, Lieutenant.

You tricked him.

Make you feel superior?

No, sir.

I didn't see that
either, Lieutenant.

Majority rules, Commander.

If you'll excuse me, sir.

Carry on, Lieutenant.

Let's start again.

Here's what can be argued:

because of circumstances
created by your need for medication,

you were not in a
rational state of mind.

I knew what I was doing.

You don't want to admit that.

But it's the truth.

It won't serve you.

Colonel, is there a reason
you're in your office?

Uh...

should I be elsewhere, sir?

Well, the courtroom
would be appropriate,

uh, considering that your,
uh, sentencing hearing

started about nine minutes ago.

Oh, sir...

I'm so sorry, um,

I got... I got
busy, and I, uh...

Um, can you...?

Sasebo doesn't want us.

SARS is politically sensitive
in Japan, and the possibility

of re-introducing the
virus to the mainland

is a risk they're
unwilling to accept.

But the virus came
from the mainland.

North Korea, Commander...

a country whose
population is isolated.

What would they have us do?

Seventh Fleet has directed us

to Dutch Harbor, an
inactive naval facility

in the Aleutian chain.

It's about a two-day trip.

Medical team will be
flown in to meet us.

And if they conclude
that it is SARS?

We would be quarantined

for an unspecified
period of time.

May I ask the temperature
at Dutch Harbor, sir?

Last reading was four
degrees Fahrenheit.

Skipper, that kind of
weather could exacerbate...

We're already on
course, Petty Officer.

Does this not seem

overreaching to you, Skipper?

Nothing's been proven.

Either way that makes us
subject to worst-case theorizing.

You have a microscope on board?

Yes, sir. Then you
have the means

for a conclusive diagnosis.

Not without virus-matching

software, Commander.

Can you photograph
with this microscope?

I can jerry-rig something.

Well, Skipper, since the
boat has Internet connectivity

with the mainland,
might it be possible

to photograph a slide,
send that to Bethesda?

In theory. They could run
it through their program,

make it a determination there.

Keep talking. I could run point.

I'd need the corpsman
and help with the computers.

I can spare the COM guru.

That would work.
All right, Commander.

You just raised my expectations.

Thank you.

The colonel's in
court, Commander.

Hey, uh...

There was an elderly
gentleman in there with her.

You didn't happen to see

where he...? He's
with the admiral.

What were they doing?

Talking.

About what?

I think they're in his office.

Should I let him
know you're looking

for him? No, no, no.

I have to go in
there anyway, sir.

That's okay. Thanks.

Okay.

Skipper's having

a bad day, sir. Did you assault

this man, chief? Why
would I do that, Lieutenant?

He says you were
trying to kill him.

In case you didn't notice, sir,

he's a little on
the excitable side.

That's because
you scare him, chief.

This man is ill.

I thought he was asleep, sir.

Call the corpsman.
Aye, aye, sir.

Our weapons systems have
been seriously compromised.

We have one torpedo tube

and a starboard hoist
out of commission.

I'm considering surfacing

and setting these
four men adrift.

Can I do that, Commander?

No, Skipper.

It violates the basic tenets
of the Law of the Sea.

What if I notify

North Korean authorities
prior to doing so?

You still can't
guarantee their safety.

They're the enemy, damn it.

While in our custody, protected
by the Geneva Convention.

And who the hell's
protecting my crew?

And don't tell me God.

You were under the
impression I would?

You look like a pious man.

Less and less.

Then we're stuck with plan "B."

I ordered the sick combatant

moved to the quarantined sector

and our saboteur
secured to his rack.

Sir, I have concerns about that.

He is completely immobilized.

What's your point,
Lieutenant? It strikes me

as inhumane, sir,

given the amount of time
he's likely to be confined.

I have an obligation
to protect this vessel.

Of course you do, sir.

But can we consider
other options?

Maybe we could isolate
him, put a guard at the door.

I'd have to think about it.

Skipper, I strongly
recommend against it.

You'd be denying your
men one more place to sleep.

And resisting what
amounts to torture, sir.

This is strange talk

coming from an intelligence
officer, Lieutenant.

Keep working those
clichés, Commander.

Who exactly are you
representing here?

My country, sir, and
I can do it without

penalizing these men
for being who they are.

I'm starting to resent the
implications, Lieutenant.

Doesn't surprise me, sir.

What if we sedate him?

That's great, Commander.

Treat him like an animal.

He was acting like an animal.

Stand down, both of you.

There's no reason
to make this personal.

Any legal issues I
need to be aware of

with sedation, Commander?

I don't think so, Skipper.

That's what I'll do then.

Officer of the Deck. Skipper?

Have the corpsman
report to Main Con, ASAP.

Aye, aye, sir.

Lead Corpsman,
report to the con ASAP.

I repeat: Lead Corpsman,
report to the con.

That is all.

MacKENZIE: Can't believe
I let you rope me into this.

Hey, you had
your chance to bail.

Why didn't I?

Ma'am, sir, he's waiting.

Colonel, Commander, you're
familiar with Mr. Minnerly.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Why aren't I?

Admiral, I...

Left me out of the
loop again, didn't you?

Sir, we thought...

You ever heard of the, uh,

Great Lakes Experience?

No. Sorry, sir.

Neither had I.

Mr. Minnerly?

Well, in 1942,
President Roosevelt

recruited black
men into the Navy.

Thousands of them, me
and others, passed through

the Great Lakes Naval
Training Center in Illinois.

What were you trying to do?

Well, some played baseball,

some designed, uh, graphics,

uh, men boxed.

Some performed in plays.

And you?

I played in a band.

Musicians were put
in 25-man ensembles

and stationed at bases
all across the country.

I was at Treasure
Island, San Francisco.

We played everything...

Standards, marches,
classical music...

and at night, we swung.

This went on for
about three years.

Why was this done?

To help maintain morale.

At least that's
what I understood.

And you all were okay with it?

Well, it was a great
honor, at that time.

I know now, it seemed that
maybe we were being stereotyped,

but, uh, good
things came out of it.

People could see that black men

could do more than work
as stewards and cooks.

Apparently, some
barriers were broken.

We were the first to integrate

the Navy Music School.

And when the Navy
saw that it worked,

they became even more
open to the idea, and after that,

things happened pretty quick.

Why didn't you
tell me about this?

He wouldn't have told me
if I hadn't stumbled onto it.

Well... that was
a long time ago.

What instrument did you play?

I played piano.

Admiral, I, uh, I assume,
you're, uh, you're aware

of Mr. Minnerly's situation?

I understand that you two were
trying to help him out with, uh,

little success.

So I called the
commonwealth attorney.

Know him from law school,

and he agreed to
drop the charges

if Mr. Minnerly promises

to attend counseling.

That's great.

And American Red Cross is, uh,

putting him up in
their Quantico facility

until he can find a new place.

They should be
here right about now.

Mr. Minnerly,

it has been a great
pleasure to meet you, sir.

And my yeoman will show you out.

I appreciate this, Admiral.

Thank you, Commander.

Thank you, Colonel.

Take care, Mr. Minnerly.

Why the hell weren't the
two of you on top of this?

Well, Admiral...

That man is an example

of the hundreds of thousands

of veterans who are in
need on a daily basis.

I expected better
of both of you.

Especially you, Commander.

Aren't you the man

who does what's necessary
to get the job done?

Sir, I, uh, was
under the impression

that man is
unwelcome in this office.

Not entirely.

Sir, I need to know
what's expected of me.

Am I to prove
myself or be myself?

That's a fair question.

Do what you do.

Well, that's going
to be a little difficult

under the present workload, sir.

Well, then, um...

Lieutenant Singer's
cases... Give those to, uh...

give them to the colonel.

Admiral...

Might clear it up?
Absolutely, sir.

Sir...

That'll be all.

Aye, aye, sir.

I have the con.

Just received news

from Bethesda.

The blood sample we sent them

is negative on SARS.

Outstanding, Skipper.

The USS Cathedral City
owes you a debt of gratitude,

Commander.

What do they think it is?

Nasty strain of flu.

Helo on the way, Skipper?

Already in the air.

Good for you, sir.

You know, I'm
sorry we weren't able

to get along better, Lieutenant.

You have a sense of how that

could have been avoided, sir?

Honestly, I don't.

That's too bad, sir.

You sure that this is
my problem, not yours?

That's the way I see it, sir.

Then I won't attempt
to argue the point.

I do have one question, though.

Was the man who robbed
and shot your father black?

Yes, sir.

That'll be all, Lieutenant.

Enter.

Admiral, I, uh...

Commander, I've already
been briefed, go home.

Whatever you have,

the rest of us don't want it.

Aye, aye, sir.

There is one thing.

A complaint's been filed
against you by a Lieutenant Yi,

forwarded to me by the
chief of naval intelligence.

The specifics?

Racial bias.

I've been asked to evaluate
and take appropriate action.

He thinks I'm prejudiced
against Koreans.

Is it true? No, sir.

Good enough for me.

Would that be the
end of it, Admiral?

Well, as far as I'm concerned,

but it has gone up
the chain of command,

been eyeballed
by senior officers.

Yes, sir.

I'll, uh...

I'll make some calls,

see if I can smooth
some feathers.

You seem to be doing
that a lot on my behalf, sir.

Commander.

You ever get angry?

Excuse me, sir?

Do you ever get angry?
You know, just lose it.

Why do you ask, Admiral?

Well, if you think you've
being falsely accused,

why don't you get pissed off?

I... I've gone over
some of the things

that I said to the
lieutenant, sir,

and, given that he's
on the sensitive side,

I might have come off

as more naive than
I like to think I am.

Oh, so you're buying
into these accusations.

I think I might have
handled it better, sir.

Given my own
experiences, I should have.

Well, the skipper

of the USS Cathedral City
thinks you hung the moon.

And will that help
in this instance, sir?

I don't know.

This is one of those issues

that tends to have
a life of its own.

Terrence, you look great.

So glad you popped
by to let us know.

Oh, it's good to have you
military folks back in my life.

Feels like it did
when I was playing.

You know, we had a swinging
version of "Stars and Stripes."

I'm having trouble
picturing that.

Really?

Oh, no, it was hip.

Let me see if I can dig
up a little piece for you.

Have you met Terrence Minnerly?

No, sir.

He took part in the
Great Lakes Experience.

Ah, familiar with it, sir.

Helped, uh, helped
integrate the Navy.

Yeah, come on,
I'll introduce you.

Uh, I'd rather not, Admiral,

at least not at the moment.

All right, well, say when
and I'll bring him by.

When I feel worthy, sir.

What else you got
in your repertoire?
