All language subtitles for JAG - 09x18 - What If.DVDRIP.English.updated.Addic7ed.com

If you will all
raise your glasses.

I present to you Petty Officer
First Class Jennifer Coates.

Your promotion will
be effective May 1.

Congratulations.

Hear, hear! Hear, hear!

Congratulations. Thank you.

Mmm, mmm. Cookies.

Perhaps we should go
by order of rank: Admiral?

No, no, no.

Fortune cookies aren't my thing.

I think we should
go alphabetically.

Well, that would
make you last...

"T" for Turner.

I say we go by height.

Excellent idea.

Commander, pick your future.

Mmm...

You've got to read it, sir.

Out loud. That's the rules.

Tell us what it says.

I don't really believe
in these things.

MacKENZIE: I think you
won't reveal your fortune

because you do believe.

Excuse me, Commander?

Your wife is here.

Well, this is a surprise.

No uniform?

I'm T.A.D. to JAG

for transition briefings
at the Navy Annex.

Stopped by to have the admiral
sign off on my terminal leave.

You're leaving the service?

As of tomorrow.

That's why I need you to
sign our divorce papers...

today.

I'll sign the divorce papers.

You've been sitting
on them for a month.

What is the big hurry?

Well, it would be
nice to get a divorce

before I get married again.

You're getting married again?

When? This weekend.

John planned a romantic
trip by train to Colorado.

He found a wedding chapel
overlooking the Rockies.

Who is John?

When did all this happen?

What is going on
in your life, Mac?

If you had ever listened to
me when we were married,

you'd know the answer to that.

I don't want to be here
five years from now

alone, childless and
still fighting with you.

Why did we ever
think it would work?

Because four years
ago, in Sydney Harbor,

we realized we loved each other.

Love isn't enough, Harm.

Well, I hear it's a good
prerequisite for marriage.

Well, so is consideration,

time spent together
and a million other things.

Our marriage always came last.

Sir?

The admiral's requested you.

You wanted to see me, Admiral?

I assume you've read the case
file on Marine Colonel Sutter.

What's your take?

He fired two rounds,

inches from an
Iraqi detainee's head

in order to coerce
information from him.

It's a clear violation.

But...

Well, he did
extract critical intel

that saved American
lives, ma'am.

It doesn't change the law.

It's going to Article 32,

and I want you to prosecute.

Aye, aye, ma'am.

Ma'am, Colonel
Sutter is a headstrong,

highly decorated war hero

who marches to the
beat of his own drummer.

It's going to take a firm
hand from defense counsel.

Give me a name.

Colonel MacKenzie
is at JAG, T.A.D.

What do you think about
assigning her the case?

MacKENZIE: Excuse
the interruption, Admiral.

About my terminal leave request?

The commander and I
were just discussing that.

Change of plans.

You'll be defending
Colonel Sutter.

I appreciate the vote of
confidence in my abilities,

but I'll be on terminal
leave, as of tomorrow.

I haven't signed your
paperwork yet, Colonel.

I realize that, Admiral.

One last assignment.

It's only an Article 32.

Your leave will be delayed
by a day or two at most.

Dismissed.

Aye, aye, ma'am.

I hope you know
what you're doing.

Oh, I think so.

Be careful what you wish for.

It's simple, Colonel.

I interrogated an Iraqi
detainee who had intel

on a planned ambush of
U.S. Marines... my men.

He gave up time and place,
surrendered his cohorts.

There was no attack,

nor, after that, any
enemy activity in my sector.

End of story.

You personally escorted
the detainee outside the tent,

and fired two shots
next to his head.

It seemed to clear his mind.

Threats and intimidation...
No matter what the result...

Are violations of the
rules of interrogation.

You know who reported me?

A female judge advocate

who'd spent ten hours
questioning the detainee,

getting nowhere.

I don't see the relevance, sir.

"Phony Marines," Colonel.

That's the relevance.

Women who've never seen combat

can't possibly
understand what's at stake.

You don't like what you hear?

Well, speaking as a
"phony Marine," sir,

I know what's at stake now.

You're charged with
aggravated assault

and communicating a threat.

You're facing dismissal
and prison time.

Now, as I see it,

your character is the
key to this defense.

So, you tell me if you
like what you hear, sir.

I can see from the look
on your face, Commander.

You're wondering
why I went along

with assigning Colonel
MacKenzie to the case.

You figure I've gone soft.

There's not an ounce
of fat on you, Krennick.

Admiral.

The way I see it,

you need to get her
out of your system

so you can move on.

Find a woman
that's right for you.

You never give up, do you?

You need a woman
that's tough, ambitious...

Ruthless?

That, too.

Someone who can give
you the ride of your life.

In case you forgot,

I've pulled nine-and-
a-half G's in a Tomcat.

Oh. Well, then maybe
you're finally ready for me.

MacKENZIE: Oh, here.

I had this in my trunk.

Settlement of our house
and assets was the easy part.

Still have to divvy
up the memories.

Just a few items got mixed in

when I packed up to leave.

I wondered where this was.

I remember when you
separated it from my Corvette.

As I recall, a tire
iron was involved.

Ah, and I recall a promise
to trade in the 'Vette

for something practical.

"Time to put away
childish things," you said.

And then you returned
from the dealership

with new racing wheels.

Ah, the good old days

when we would
break up to make up.

I don't want to have to
break up with someone

just to get them to
pay attention to me.

Oh, and if you think arranging
this little courtroom drama

is going to bring us
back together, Rabb,

you're out of your mind.

You misjudge me, Mrs. Rabb.

Colonel Sutter deserves

the best legal
counsel out there.

That happens to be you.

Oh, I smell a rat.

I shouldn't say this,
but as prosecutor,

I support Colonel
Sutter's actions.

I'm in a mood to deal.

Farrow?

Yeah, it's been a while.

Last time I saw you,

my neck was on
the chopping block.

Along with Sarah's.

Why are you here, Colonel?

Oh, it's "John" now.

I took my 20 years
retirement from the Corps,

and I've started a new life.

And the next chapter
is about to begin.

"John."

You're John.

Well, I guess
congratulations are in order.

Well, thank you very much.

So, did you forget
about lunch today?

I waited at the restaurant
for about an hour.

Called your cell
phone, no answer.

I'm so sorry.

I had a meeting with a client.

I thought you were
dropping by the office

to get your terminal
leave papers signed.

The admiral assigned
me to a new case.

Kind of a last minute thing.

How'd that come up? Don't ask.

Is it going to delay our trip?

Commander Rabb
assures me that we'll be able

to come to a quick resolution.

Oh, so, you're
representing the other side?

Just like old times.

Only this time,

the arguments stay
in the courtroom.

I have an idea.

You two missed lunch, so did I.

Let's grab a bite together.

We'll pass.

We could discuss the case.

Might get you on that
train sooner, Sarah.

So how did you two
rediscover each other, anyway?

MacKENZIE: Well,
a few months ago,

John was on the East
Coast doing business,

and he looked me up.

A few quick months,

and now you're getting married?

Oh, you forget, Sarah and
I were acquainted before.

Oh. Didn't it come up
at your court-martial?

A little fraternization
back there in Okinawa,

when you were her
commanding officer?

Not that I can blame you.

So, what have you been
up to anyway, recently, John?

I mean, other than
marrying my wife?

Ex-wife.

I conduct guided
river-rafting tours in Colorado.

Colorado?

Yeah, it's the state
right next to Utah?

He's building us a
cabin in the woods.

You sure you know what
you're getting yourself into?

And out of.

All alone up there in the woods.

Does it ever bother you
she shot her first husband?

Bother you? Well, let's just say

I never kept a loaded
weapon around the house.

Can we move on?

Thank you.

So, you're getting
married this weekend, huh?

Where exactly is this happening?

You're not invited.

We're taking the
Zephyr out of Chicago.

It's one of the last
great rail journeys

in the United States.

Straight through the Rockies.

And it stops in this
little town called Unity.

It's where John's
grandparents got married.

It's where we're
going to tie the knot.

So, about this,
uh... Sutter case.

Yeah, you said
you're willing to deal.

To a point.

Given the severity
of the man's offense.

Alleged offense.

Well, taking into
account his character

and his unblemished record,

the government would
be willing to accept

dismissal without confinement.

He's eligible for retirement.

If he accepts that deal,

he loses his pension
and his benefits.

If he goes to court,

he's looking at eight
years in Leavenworth.

You never change, do you?

This is your idea of a deal?

She's a tough one, John.

But I guess you
know that, don't you?

Oh, she can be tough
when she needs to be.

Like when she's defending a man
who deserves a commendation,

not a court-martial.

Not according to the law.

I'm not a lawyer, Commander.

I just know what's right.

Look, Harm,

John and I are going to
be on that train tomorrow,

so give me something
I can work with.

Fine.

The man is a decorated
war hero, after all,

and he only made a mistake.

We can all make mistakes, right?

You're living proof of that.

I'm willing to offer
broken sword early out.

Terms? Nonjudicial punishment.

The colonel retires immediately

and receives full benefits.

Sounds like a sell-out

to this old Marine.

Well, age does afford
perspective, doesn't it, John.

You're damn right.

Well, quitting is
still quitting, Harm.

Yes, it is, isn't it?

Some people do
throw in the towel

when the going gets rough.

I'll talk to the colonel.

If he agrees, we agree.

You set me up.

What?!

Colonel Sutter
rejected the deal.

It seems his division commander
made a similar offer a week ago

and he turned it down then.

You knew he'd
want to go to court.

Don't you miss this?

What I'll miss is my train.

The honeymoon express?

You lying lowlife.

Hey, you started this.

You didn't have to
waltz through JAG.

You could've had the admiral
fax you your leave papers.

I'm going to kick your butt.

I'll look forward to it.

Well, if we're going
by height, Admiral,

you're the next victim.

Looking at Bud,

I don't think he can
hold off much longer.

Go ahead.

Thank you, sir.

Only if Harriet
opens hers first.

Our fortunes have
been intertwined.

In sickness and in health.

Come on, you got
to read them out loud.

"Your unspoken desire
is the road not taken.

Take it."

It's a match.

What are the chances, huh?

Pretty good, sir.

Fate has already
thrown them together.

So funny, huh? Still
with us, Commander?

Yes, sir.

I was, uh, I was just thinking.

Oh, that one goes in
the master bedroom

walk-in closet, please.

Yes, ma'am.

Sadie, I have to run an errand.

I'll be back in about an hour.

Yes, ma'am. Thank you.

Bud?

Harriet?

How are you?

I'm good.

Rich. Rich?

My parents died in a
boating accident in July.

I'm sorry.

Left me all the money
I could ever need.

But that doesn't buy me an
emergency bathroom remodel.

So, that's why you're
here... is plumbing?

My contractor left me
high and dry and I need

a spa installation by Friday

for my housewarming party.

I thought you moved to Florida.

I did. I moved back.

By Friday? No problem.

Harriet!

Mikey. Hi.

Wow, last time I saw you

was, uh, was the day you
dumped Bud at the altar.

That was in the past, Mikey.

You were just talking
about it yesterday.

Anyway, about the bathroom...

Major Clayton,

you were the Judge Advocate

assigned to
Colonel Sutter's unit.

You fielded the
original complaint

from the detainee regarding
the colonel's actions.

Correct.

The detainee reported
that Colonel Sutter

twice fired a pistol within
six inches of his ear,

for the purpose of
extracting information.

Do the rules of engagement

prohibit abusing prisoners?

Yes, they do.

What is your opinion
of Colonel Sutter?

Objection.

Counsel seems
to be having trouble

sticking to the rules, himself.

Rules of evidence
don't permit opinion.

Goes to establishing a pattern

of behavior, Your Honor.

Counsel can appreciate that.

I'll allow it.

The witness will
answer the question.

He's a cowboy, sir.

He believes the ends
justify the means.

No further questions.

Your witness, Colonel.

Major, do our enemies in Iraq
comply with the rules of war?

The enemy there is fighting
an irregular war, ma'am,

but the Iraqi Fedayeen
are not on trial here.

They damn well should be.

Colonel, another outburst,
I'll hold you in contempt.

Did Colonel Sutter's
actions save the lives

of American personnel?

Fortunately.

Nevertheless, rules
exist for a reason.

Oh, so, in your opinion,
rules and regulations

are more important
than American lives.

I have nothing
further, Your Honor.

Whatever happened
to the Navy, Bud,

and your dream of
becoming a lawyer?

Well, I kind of
lost interest in it

right after you
lost interest in me.

That's not what happened, Bud.

Well, then, why didn't
you want to marry me?

And don't tell me it was because

I got beat up by a
pregnant stripper

at my bachelor party.

No, at the time, I didn't think

you were mature enough.

Now, I don't think
the problem was you.

It was me.

That was some pretty sharp
legal maneuvering today

in the courtroom.

Thanks.

You want this clock?

You bought it.

It's a memento
from our honeymoon.

Do you want to
know what I remember

from our honeymoon?

It rained, and you made
a zillion cell phone calls.

I was working on a big case.

My case... at least it
was, until I married you,

got shipped out of JAG,

and Admiral
Chegwidden reassigned it.

Remember our first
Christmas together?

The tree was right there.

Mostly what I remember
is me hauling out

a dried twig on Valentine's Day.

Were you always this bitter?

Loving you was like
stepping on a rusty nail.

Want the bed?

I don't need it.

John's building me
a cherry four-poster

with a silk canopy.

How quaint.

Nothing wrong with a canopy.

Oh, yeah, it's nice protection

for when the roof leaks.

Nothing John does leaks.

I could sell tickets to this
museum of adolescence.

I thought you might
like to have this.

Oh, I don't need it. I
have my memories.

Yeah, well, I have mine, too.

I hope you're not

going to give me your ring back.

How long did you wear yours?

A while.

It was like a string
around my finger,

reminding me not to look back.

Hey, we had good times, Mac.

Do you believe in
fate, kismet, destiny?

No.

Here with you, today,

I keep thinking,
what if I told you

we were meant to be together?

I'd tell you you were crazy.

Look, I know things
didn't quite work out...

You have a gift
for understatement.

But what if we were
meant to be together

and we just got in our own way?

"What if" just
doesn't get it done.

I guess I just kept
thinking there was time.

Love can't wait.

And neither can the judge.

We're due back in
court in 20 minutes.

♪ What if I'd said "I will"
instead of "I won't"? ♪

♪ What if I'd said "I do"
instead of "I don't"? ♪

♪ If I did it again maybe
I'd come home to you ♪

♪ Not a cold empty bed. ♪

That was amazing.

Thank you, Ms. Sims.

Mr. Turner, Varese tells me

you and I have
something in common.

I once worked for JAG, too,

although it seems
like a lifetime ago.

Well, I'm a recent dropout.

You and I have
business to talk about.

I have the agreement
terms in my case.

Excuse me a second.

My bathroom guy's here.

You sounded great.

Thank you.

Now we're leaving for Paris

tomorrow night, right?

Oh, yes. Don't you worry.

The honeymoon is so on schedule.

Oh, I can't wait. Mm-hmm.

Marta, that box of photographs

goes out in the garage.

Yes, ma'am. Thanks.

That's Horst Fisher!

That German soccer player!

You a soccer fan, Harriet?

Nah, he was a suitor.

They were all suitors.

Race car drivers, polo players,

a jai-alai champion.

I got really popular
when I got really rich.

"Broke"?

Braque.

And it belongs in a museum.

I'm leaving it to the
Modern in my will.

It's called "Girl
With a Guitar."

She looks more
like road kill, to me.

$2 million worth
of road kill, Mikey,

but who's keeping track?

General Montrose,

as Colonel Sutter's
battalion commander,

do you believe his actions

violated the Geneva Conventions?

Technically, yes.

Yes or no, sir?

Yes.

Thank you. Your witness.

General, isn't it
true you waited

until a Judge Advocate
under your command

filed a complaint,
and only then informed

the chain of command
of what had occurred?

That's one way to look at it.

Do you believe Colonel
Sutter should be punished?

I think he should be
given a damn medal.

War is hell.

You can't play by the rules

when your enemy is duplicitous

and underhanded.

I'll say.

Objection! Counsel's
testifying, Your Honor.

That was under my breath,

and besides, I
object, Your Honor.

Counsel is badgering me.

Counselor, you're
flirting with contempt.

I am not flirting.

Believe me.

No further questions.

Redirect, Your Honor.

Colonel Sutter's actions, sir,

are in clear violation
of the UCMJ.

Do you not believe

that he should be
held responsible

for those actions...
That, indeed,

all who wear the
uniform should be?

Yes.

Opposing counsel is attempting

to muddy the waters
by spreading the blame.

She's blaming Major Clayton,

she's blaming you.

But the point is
she, too, should be

held responsible
for her own actions.

Your Honor, where is
counsel going with this?

Might be interesting
to find out.

My point is that we
can blame others

for our predicaments,
but the truth is

we make our own bed.

Objection, Your
Honor... He didn't

make the bed in two years!

Let's try to stay on
the subject, Counselor.

If you had convinced your client

to take the original deal,

you'd be on the Zephyr already.

Unless, of course,
you don't want to be.

Objection!

That was under my
breath, Your Honor.

I've lost the unraveling thread

of the argument
here, Counselors.

I'm calling for a recess.

The Government
rests, Your Honor.

I believe my case has been made.

General, you may step down.

Well, that went well.

I believe it's your turn, sir.

Go ahead, Colonel.

Dodging fate?

No, just stale cookies.

I'll do it if you do it, sir.

It's just for fun.

"Your unspoken desire
is the road not taken."

Same fortune?

At least they're
consistent at this joint.

You didn't have the
Kung Pao Chicken.

I told you this thing is dumb.

I don't know, sir.

Haven't you ever wondered
about the road not taken?

You have, haven't you, sir?

Wow!

You make one wrong
turn at Lake Erie and...

you end up in paradise!

Hey, folks, it's
me, Bud Roberts,

owner of Bud's Hot Tubs,

and have I got
something for you.

A.J.!

Come quick, you've
got to see this.

Quick, before it's gone.

New Blue Grotto 9,000...

Isn't that the young man
from your JAG command

that we had over for dinner?

That won't drown
your bank account.

In the flesh.

I warned Roberts
when he left the Navy

it was a big mistake.

And I mean anybody,
or I'm a monkey's uncle.

I swear, we're not related.

Here, A.J., make
time for the muffin.

I'm already late.

For no money down,

so stop on by, I'll make
you a spa-rific deal.

Chegwidden.

When things get hot,

Bud gets in the tub.

Well, how the hell did
you lose her, Wong?

No, I don't want
to hear excuses.

You put every
available man on it.

You can start by finding

that middleman of
hers, Stan Rockman.

My defendant skipped bail.

A.J., you're a lawyer,
not a bounty hunter.

When you retired from the Navy,

I thought you were
going to ease up a bit.

What, this? This
is your big case?

She is such a
sweet-looking girl.

Hardly.

Back under my watch, a
couple Christmases ago,

Petty Officer Jennifer Coates

went UA from the Navy.

Now she's part
of an art theft ring.

They take orders from

wealthy collectors in Asia

and fill them by stealing

from museums and
private collectors.

AKA "The Catwoman."

That's what the
press is calling her.

Pretty damn silly.

Do you think she's
still in the area?

I know she is.

She's after a rare
Shakespeare folio

for a client in Singapore.

Shakespeare?

Oh, A.J., it sounds like
you could use my help.

No.

"Ms. H. Sims of 29 Ayrdale
Drive, purchased at auction.

"Bears the armorial bookplate
of the third Earl of Palliser,

who was afterwards
the Duke of Omnium."

He acquired the book

circa 1868.

The name Palliser
is inscribed across

the top of the opening of
The Merry Wives of Windsor.

How much do you
think we can get, Stan?

I got some buyers in Japan
willing to pay three mil.

You know, it's a status thing.

It's like paying five large for
a bottle of Romanae Conti.

So, uh, this Sims mansion,

it's got security, right?

Oh, yes.

Motion sensors, state-of-
the-art alarm system.

And you know this how?

I was casing the
joint yesterday,

as a cook's assistant.

I got a job with the
caterer Harriet Sims hired

for her big party on Friday.

I'll be passing
canapés all night long.

What would you like? Mai-tai.

Let me have a
martini. Right away.

So, is there anything
else there worth boosting?

A couple of Renoir pastels.

Very nice.

A Braque oil,
"Girl with a Guitar."

After we lift the folio, we can pay
the Heiress Sims a second visit.

Excellent.

What's my cut in all this?

10% of the net.

15 of the gross. I
take all the risks.

And I move all the merchandise.

Without me, sweetheart,
you're nothing.

Isn't it about time

you introduced me
to your contacts?

Oh, come on, Jen.

Geez, you just jumped bail.

I mean, I shouldn't
even be seen with you.

Stan, you don't know this yet,

but I'm your future.

MacKENZIE: Captain Rogers,
you served under Colonel Sutter

for ten months.

In your estimation,

is he a man of good character?

I've never known a
finer leader, ma'am.

Thank you. No further questions.

Good character is often used

to excuse conduct unbecoming,

is it not, Captain?

Objection, counsel
is testifying.

I'll rephrase, Your Honor.

A person of fine character

is capable of unethical

and ill-advised
behavior, do you agree?

I suppose it's
possible, Commander.

When men of good
character act poorly,

they should be held accountable

for their actions, correct?

Yes, sir.

And they should be aware

of how those actions,

no matter how well intended,

affect those around them,

and they should
never be too proud

to admit when they've
overstepped and been wrong.

Uh, I agree with
that... statement, sir.

Do you?

Asked and answered.

Thank you, Captain.

Nothing further.

Bud, I just want to thank
you so much for everything.

The bathroom looks great.

Let's talk about the bill.

No charge.

Don't be silly, Bud.

You and Mikey worked hard.

Name your figure.
I can afford it.

How 'bout a million bucks?

Oh... okay.

I'll just write a check.

Address is on the invoice.

Mail at your convenience.

Bud, can I confess
something to you?

I have all the
money in the world,

and it still feels like
something's missing.

Like... Like
everything's missing.

What about you?

I'm still the same man, Harriet.

I watch Star Trek reruns
every Saturday night.

All those half-naked girls
in your hot tub commercials,

you never...

Found anyone? No.

At least

you don't have a carton
full of bad memories.

Oh, I didn't say that.

Why don't you and
Mikey come to the party?

You never know
what fate has in store.

You might find the
girl of your dreams.

Maybe I already have?

Taking a trip down memory lane?

Every now and then,
I find myself thinking

that you're not the worst thing

that ever happened to me.

Mind if I get personal?

Yes, but I doubt it'll stop you.

I meant what I said this
morning in the courtroom.

I'll never understand
why it's so hard for you

to be nice.

Look, you need to do
what you feel is right.

And if that means
living in a frigid cabin

in the wilds of
Colorado, so be it.

I like you when
you're like this.

You married the
wrong guy once, Mac.

Just be sure you're not
making the same mistake again.

I'm sorry I'm

late...

Well, I'll, uh...

I'll, uh, I'll knock next time.

No. There won't be a next time.

The commander
was just apologizing

for his many deficiencies
and wishing us a happy life

together.

See you in court.

Oh. Everything working out
between you and the colonel?

It's an ongoing process.

I assume you're talking

about the Article 32, Admiral.

Isn't that what we were
talking about, Commander?

You told me it was finished
between you and Rabb.

It is.

That's not what I just saw.

Well, look again.

Imagine my surprise to
discover the purchaser

of this folio is an
acquaintance of my husband.

How is the admiral?

Preoccupied, grumpy,
never home for dinner.

Good to see some
things never change.

Hmm.

I'm so grateful to have a chance

to see this folio
for my research.

Yeah, it's just too bad
someone wrote all over it.

No, not really.

You see, that's what
separates one folio from another.

The marginalia gives us an idea

as to the reading habits
of each of its owners.

One of its readers...

Probably the Lady
Glencora... writes

that Hamlet reminds her of
her husband, Plantagenet.

"Always dithering."

It places the book
in its social context.

You're very lucky to have this.

Well, to be honest,

I bought this on the advice
of my financial planner.

It's safer than stocks.

Don't forget to
invite the admiral

to my housewarming, okay?

Okay, I-I'll make
sure that we attend.

Meanwhile, will you make sure

that you really do
keep this folio safe?

Not to worry.

Anyone tries to
budge this bad boy...

In for a rude surprise.

That is, if they
make it this far.

The motion detector, up there,
will go off if anything larger

than a housefly
buzzes this display case.

The folio is safe.

Colonel Sutter,

is it true that, during
the first Gulf War,

as a major, you
commandeered an Iraqi tank

and used it to draw
out the enemy?

I did.

It proved quite effective.

Though a violation
of orders, Colonel.

Affirmative.

And prior to that, during
the Panama Incursion,

you were you in
similar violation

when you appropriated

a pair of night vision
goggles from an Army base...

MacKENZIE:
Objection, Your Honor.

I don't see the
point of this litany.

The point is,

your client has
established a pattern

of making the same
mistakes over and over.

But you should understand that.

Ah, so this is about me now.

Well, I'm not the
one running away.

Do you ever think
before you speak?

I'd like to see

counsel at the
bench for a sidebar.

What is going on here?

If he's trying to say

that people don't
change, he's right.

He is still the
same underhanded,

deceptive jerk he always was.

Still speaking through
intermediaries, Mac?

Have you two
considered counseling?

Total bust. Our
marriage counselor quit.

I want you two to find a
way to solve your problems,

so we can continue on
with these proceedings.

We have been
trying to solve them

for two years, Your Honor.

Maybe it's time to move on.

Oh, I think these
issues can be resolved.

I don't.

Just when you open up,

just when I think that
maybe we have a shot,

you find a way to
screw things up.

And I'm tired of this dance.

We apologize, Your Honor.

There will be no more bickering.

This is the end.

The defense rests.

This hearing will
stand in recess

until 0900 tomorrow.

Colonel, you may step down.

Your turn, Commander.

No, I-I can't.

I can only eat soy
cookies. I'm allergic.

Oh, talk about a rough

childhood, sir.

Colonel, you haven't
cracked a cookie yet.

That's right, Mac.

What does it say?

Nothing. It's silly.

Well, your face says
something different.

Fine, I'll read it.

It says,

"Wherever you
go, there you are."

The accused will rise.

Colonel Sutter,

I've heard many
things in this court

that have greatly troubled me.

Lucky for you,

none of them have
anything to do with this case.

Counselors, were it not

that I found your
marital squabblings

exceedingly entertaining,

I would consider
disciplinary action.

Colonel, I've determined that,

though a violation did occur,

circumstances mitigate

against recommending
this matter to court-martial.

My recommendation

is for administrative
action only.

This hearing is adjourned.

I got us on the afternoon train.

Whoa, whoa!

I thought you were going
to Harriet's this afternoon

for the housewarming party.

Already sent my regrets.

Oh. That's a shame.

You're moving all
the way across country

and you're never going to
see those good folks again.

You know, the commander
has a point, Sarah.

You don't want to leave
any unfinished business.

It's settled then.

The boys are smokin' today.

They're not the only ones.

Really?

I thought I was a
little off for the first set.

No. Couldn't have been better.

Harriet, hi. Hi.

How are you? This is
my fiancé, John Farrow.

Oh! So nice to meet you.

Nice... Nice to meet you.

I've heard so much about you.

Oh, well, likewise.

Wonderful place you have.

Thank you so much.

Not ready to throw
in the towel yet?

Why should I?

Because you're in the 13th round

of a 12-round fight.

You think you still got a shot?

She came to the
party, didn't she?

I didn't twist her arm... much.

Admiral, since you've delighted

in giving me enough rope to
hang myself, what do you say

you cut me just a
little more slack?

What's in it for me?

Rebound potential.

Excuse me, I don't
mean to bother you,

but I have a small
plumbing problem.

Could I see you
for just a second?

Sure. Let's go take a look.

We'll be right back. All right.

Hors d'oeuvre?

Yeah, sure.

You know, you surprise me.

I can't believe Harriet
would hire a felon.

'Cause you stole my heart
from clear across the room.

Wong, we don't find this girl,

we don't have a case.

Is that clear?

She's here, A.J.

Uh...

Who?

Your elusive cat.

I saw her.

Your imagination is
getting the best of you again.

Remember when you
thought the, uh... hey...

Crossing guard was a hit woman?

There.

That is not my imagination.

Meredith, please.

Aha!

Oh, I'm... I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, honey...

Colonel Farrow.

I don't believe you've
met Admiral Krennick.

Your reputation precedes
you, Colonel Farrow.

Terminal leave, Mac.

Signed, sealed and delivered.

MacKENZIE: Thank you, Admiral.

I believe this merits a toast.

If the gentlemen
will be so kind?

You've got two
very good men there.

Hate to choose.

And love to have the chance.

I made my choice.

Are you sure about that?

If you keep chasing your past,

your future's going to
walk right out the door.

It's Jen. I'm in. Give me five.

On my way.

It's me.

Rock and roll.

I don't understand, A.J.

You know, I know I do
stupid things sometimes.

I'm afraid that, one day,

I'm going to do
something so stupid

you're going to stop loving me.

That's ridiculous.

That'll never happen.

You believe in fate?

I'm a rationalist, A.J.

Well, I do.

I believe if people are
meant to be together,

they will be, no matter
what the obstacles.

If we were on opposite
sides of the world,

we would find a way
to be with each other.

You think?

Yes.

One last turn.

There you go.

Thank you.

Sucks not having
a man in my life.

Bud, does it bother you

that I have a lot more
money than you do?

I hate to break
it to you, Harriet,

but I-I probably have
more money than you do.

Call it a fluke,
or good fortune,

but I am the Spa King.

I have 17 outlets
in five states.

And I hold the patent
on the Miracle Tickler.

It's a special little
jet that produces a...

Tickling effect?

Going away present.

Our divorce papers.

You can file them with
your terminal leave papers,

your retirement orders, and
every other burned bridge

from your past, unhappy life.

You just won't give up.

Hey, I'm not the one
giving up, Mac, you are.

Oh, I'm moving on.

Escaping.

Admit it.

Throwing away your career,

running off to the
woods with Farrow.

It's just not you.

In your opinion.

Hey, you can't deny
who you are, Mac.

You can't deny us.

There is no "us," Harm.

And what you're doing right now,

this is exactly you.

Not committing until I've
got one foot out the door.

Even your pal Krennick
thinks it's time for me

to walk out of here with Farrow.

They make a lovely couple.

Of course, looks
can be deceiving.

They were married for two years.

Oh, I wouldn't worry about it.

The commander's
blown his last chance,

and he knows it.

Well, the man has a strange way

of accepting defeat.

Oh, it's just pride.

Surely an old Marine
can understand that.

So, you've won, Colonel.

It's time to claim your
spoils while you still can.

Women don't like to be tested.

We're leaving.

Our train doesn't leave...

Now, John!

If that's what you want.

Destiny.

Huh.

I don't get what people
see in these old scribbles.

I know.

Nice.

Hold it right there.

Oh, hold it, my ass.

I wouldn't do that.

I'm a member of the Falls Church

Ladies Rotarian Pistol Club.

Why do I think that
club's not accredited?

Try me.

Oh, who cares?

It's not loaded, anyway.

You're such an idiot, Stan.

That's not a real gun.

And I'm not a real thief.

Hey, what the hell is going on?

Nice work, Jennifer.

Wong, what the hell
are you doing here?

Sorry, A.J. To
make this sting work,

I had to leave
you out of the loop.

You mean, she's...?

In on it.

Sorry to disappoint
you, Mr. Prosecutor.

Oh, terrific.

See?

Maybe, next time,
you won't be so quick

to underestimate the
power of my imagination.

I live in fear of the
power of your imagination.

The train's sold out, Sarah.

We can't just buy
you a new ticket.

John, I'm so sorry.

You've been so
great about everything.

Especially Harm.

Well, he's doing what
any man would do.

Can't be easy watching
the woman you love

walk out of your life.

You marched out of
that party so quickly,

you forgot your jacket.

And your ticket.

Thanks.

I, uh, my pride wouldn't
let me walk back in.

I appreciate it.

I know it wasn't
easy coming here.

I just wanted to make sure

Mac got to wherever
it is she wants to go.

Why are you doing this?

'Cause it's the
right thing to do.

I've stopped trying to stop you.

You ready, Sarah?

All aboard!

I'm sorry, John.

Fate just... keeps
finding a way to intervene.

Or maybe you just weren't
holding on strong enough.

Good-bye, Sarah.

I'm ready.

Are you?

Commander?

We're ready to go. You with us?

Uh, y-yes, sir.

Oh, I forgot my coat.

I'll get it.

Thanks.

You all right?

Yeah, I was just pondering
the road not taken.

Yet.
