JAG s08e23 Episode Script

Previously on JAG: It's an Iraqi intelligence report.
There's a hundred stinger missiles in the hands of terrorists in Paraguay.
Webb has requested that you be assigned to him T.
A.
D.
Whatever it is, sir, I'm on board.
Needs a wife.
Pregnant wife.
WEBB: Like Sadik Fahd, you speak Farsi.
We believe he intends to use the missiles against targets in the U.
S.
Now, Garcia's the arms middleman.
I tell Raul Garcia I have circuit boards to upgrade the stingers.
He buys the boards from me with diamonds and sells them to Sadik Fahd in exchange for uncut coke.
Listen, I'm going away.
Is it dangerous? Very.
It's about MacKenzie's recent assignment.
If I hear there's a need for concern, I won't hesitate to let you know.
MacKENZIE: Why diamonds? Because I told Raul Garcia I'm married to a diamond expert.
MacKENZIE: So, we get the diamonds, Garcia gets the coke, and Sadik gets whatever he needs to make the missiles work.
MAN: Diamonds are like people, Colonel very often the imperfections are hidden.
RABB: Clayton is currently traveling with an associate of mine: Lieutenant Colonel Sarah MacKenzie.
Does he love this woman? I'm sorry? WOMAN: Clayton is very protective of those he loves.
( speaking Farsi ) You can get half a million for the lot in Tel Aviv, darling.
Your bodyguard seems to have lost interest in keeping you alive.
Alvaro? So, now, can you give me any reason why I should not kill you? I can make you a rich man, Raul.
I have a line on a Predator B Combat-ready.
Just the airframe? The works: airframe, control van, four Hellfire missiles.
Garcia: That would be worth a considerable sum on the open market.
How would you move it out of America? It's in Israel.
Why do you need me? I can obtain the weapon, Raul.
I have no way to transport it.
You have all the contacts.
So far, you've earned my trust, Mr.
Williams As has your wife.
See that you don't abuse it.
( speaks Spanish ) Grab the diamonds, darling.
No backup? No, you're on your own, my friend.
I've done business with Sadik many times.
He will pay me because I am useful to him.
When they are satisfied the circuit boards are legitimate, they will give you the drugs, and you will bring them back to my casa.
( phone ringing ) Central Intelligence Agency.
Catherine Gale's office.
Uh, may I speak to her, please? Who may I say is calling? Commander Rabb from the Angel Shark inquiry.
Hello, Commander.
Hold on.
Uh, actually, I'm going to have to call back.
Excuse me.
Sir.
Meredith.
At ease.
Uh, I'm making the rounds, just thought I'd let you know that I well, I finally proposed to Meredith, and she accepted.
Uh, just to avoid any more confusion, I brought her along to, um To confirm.
It's official.
Well, that's wonderful news.
Congratulations.
Did this just happen? In a manner of speaking.
( laughs ) No date yet, but I'll keep you informed.
I'll look forward to it, sir.
Carry on.
R.
Ma'am.
( phone ringing ) Rabb.
Commander, it's Bud.
I'm at home with Harriet.
Sir, I wanted to Thank you for screwing my head back on.
Yes, sir.
He looks so much better that way.
Sir, if you need, or anybody else there needs anything just let me know, okay? Well, I appreciate the sentiment.
Uh, listen, I'll see you tomorrow, all right? Okay, yes, sir.
See you then.
Okay.
( dialing phone ) ( phone rings ) Central Intelligence Agency.
Catherine Gale's office.
Uh, it's Commander Rabb for Ms.
Gale.
Oh, she just left, Commander.
Oh.
I-I don't, uh, seem to have her cell phone number.
It's a secured line.
Well, could you patch me through? I'm afraid not.
It's important that I speak to her.
Well She generally takes an early dinner out.
You don't happen to know where, do you? Why didn't you tell me you'd enlisted Gunny in this plan? Need to know.
Well, I'd like to know what else I need to know, Clay now.
Alvaro, will you pull over to the side when you get a chance.
Mrs.
Williams needs to relieve herself.
Controlling information is one thing.
What are you now, a mind reader? Some things can't wait.
( gunshot ) Why did you just kill that man And don't give me that "need to know" crap.
Doesn't leave a lot of room for discussion.
Yeah, well, just so you know, I'm about to punch your lights out if you don't start making some sense.
I'd say "Try it," but I think you would.
I didn't have any choice, Sarah.
You asked me why I wanted you A Marine on this mission.
The truth is, there've been some leaks in the Company down here.
Well, you just plugged one.
I needed somebody I could trust Someone on the outside.
Is that why you got Gunny into this? Look, I don't want to wait until I'm staring down the barrel of a gun or a Senate investigation.
I can't tell you.
You're going to have to trust me.
Well, those two things don't go together, and apparently, neither do we, partner.
I'm catching the next flight out.
Bye.
You're an ass, you know that? I do.
You know that I can't leave while you've got Gunny out on your string.
Well, we're leaving the car behind.
It'll look like another drug hit.
's probably the 12th one today.
What, we're just going to walk all the way to Ciudad Del Este? No, we'll hitch.
In this condition? Nobody would pass up a pregnant woman.
Shiitake egg rolls.
Thank you.
Commander? Ms.
Gale.
How are you? Surprised.
You eat here? First time.
How is it? Eclectic.
Those look interesting.
Shiitake egg rolls.
Would you care to join me? Well, you look busy.
You'd give me a good excuse to close out my day.
All right, thank you.
So, uh, Commander Turner tells me you're still calling him about the Angel Shark.
Some of the crew's families have requested more information than we originally agreed to release.
The Agency's refused? We'll work something out.
Oh, I'm sure you will.
You're very good.
Am I? Yeah.
You had me dancing.
And you see yourself as the standard? Well, only if you grade on a curve.
I always enjoy meeting other attorneys outside the courtroom.
Oh, yeah? Why is that? The deep ones Tend to drop the mask Reveal things about themselves.
Oh, well, what is it I'm revealing? An inability to drop the mask.
What is it you need from me, Commander? I need to know the whereabouts of one of your operatives: Clayton Webb.
I don't have access to that information.
Care for an egg roll? How did you know Alvaro was the leak? I didn't know for sure, till we got to the meeting, and I saw that look of recognition between him and Sadik's men.
Why kill him? We' lost three agents in the last seven months down here, Sarah.
Sadik obviously had an informant with close ties to the CIA.
So you appointed yourself judge, jury and executioner.
I had to stop the bleeding.
Ha! A bullet through the head That's a novel approach.
How'd you get Gunny involved in all this, anyway? I offered him a job, he accepted.
Had him reassigned three months ago.
What's his backup? You're his backup.
How did he get in with Garcia? We gave him a good cover story.
The rest he did on his own.
What were Sadik's men talking about, anyway? Praising Allah, testing circuit boards, buying the Predator You know, all in a day's work.
So is there anything else you want to know In this new era of openness? Yeah.
Why Paraguay? There are over 20,000 people of Arab descent in Ciudad Del Este alone, so terrorists can blend in easily.
And Sadik? Sadik funds his operations by shaking down local Arab merchants.
Takes as much as Then he transfers the funds by wire to the Middle East or moves them out of the country as illegal weapons.
Okay.
So, what's our plan? As soon as we locate these Stingers, Señor Garcia's usefulness will cease.
And you've got first crack.
Yeah.
Then we go after Sadik.
And how are you going to manage that? Bring in the big guns.
See? That wasn't so hard, was it? What? Leveling with me.
Who says I did? Don't forget, I'm a spook.
( vehicle approaching ) Ooh, ooh.
Gracias.
Look, just make one call.
No.
Look, I need to speak to someone inside the loop.
There's no way into the loop.
The loop is closed that's why it's called a loop.
You're an insider you could easily You always seem to be operating under the peculiar notion that the CIA is your personal information kiosk.
It is when a colleague of mine is playing spook games with an out-of- control operative.
Was this colleague aware of the risks at the time? I believe so.
Look, I No, you look.
Anyone arrogant enough to think that they can seduce me into compromising my security clearance needs to seriously consider the benefits of self-reflection.
( cell phone ringing ) Excuse me.
Yes? I'm leaving now.
Uh, my mother has just been readmitted to the hospital.
( chuckles ): Wow.
I've been blown off before I'm sorry.
Is it serious? She's dying.
Congestive heart failure.
Check.
Hey, why don't I drive you to the hospital? I'll be fine.
No, no, no.
I'll drive.
We'll take your car.
I'll catch a cab back, all right? It's settled.
We're going.
Come on.
Hardy: Alvaro Camacho worked for me on and off for three years.
He was my best driver! He was a mole! Did you decide that before or after you shot him in the back of the head? You're Station Chief here, Edward.
Take a look at the ops Camacho handled for you.
You'll find he compromised them all.
Don't think I won't check on that.
You come complete with a reputation, Webb: Ruthless, efficient I'm sure Alvaro Camacho would say as much, were he still with us But you're no longer the youngest Undersecretary in the Company or its rising star.
You're working in Tierra Del Fuego The far ends of the earth.
I had to think twice about your request for my help.
And I do appreciate your assistance, Edward.
Yet you're back here asking me for more.
I want to finish what I started.
I want to take out Raul Garcia.
And after that? Sadik Fahd.
All in the same night.
You didn't tell me Sadik Fahd was part of the equation.
It was on a need-to-know basis.
I need to know.
You'll be fully informed when I'm successful.
Meaning, if you fail, no one will know that you screwed up again.
Appreciate the vote of confidence.
I'll give you what you want.
We'll take out Raul Garcia first The DEA will thank us for that And then we take Sadik Bam, bam.
But I'll be with you every step of the way.
That way, we both get credit.
You're going to have to live with me watching every move you make.
I work alone.
Do you? Then who's that woman you're traveling with? No one special.
Look I don't like being down here any better than you do, Webb.
Your ticket out of here is going to have my name on it, too.
GALE: Thanks for driving me, Commander.
RABB: You're sure there's nothing else I can do for you? I'll be fine.
Thank you.
This is Commander Rabb.
Commander, Commander, my it's good to meet you.
Um we've, uh, madeews your mother comfortable, and I will check back in an hour, but I'm not expecting her to last through the night.
I'm sorry.
Thank you for your efforts.
Yes.
She's lucid, has been asking for you.
Excuse me.
Come in.
Oh, I-I-I No, no, please, come in.
I'm sure Catherine would want you with her.
Come on.
RABB: I Mom? I'm here.
You brought him.
Come to me.
And a Navy man, no less.
What's your name? Uh, Harmon.
Harmon Rabb, ma'am.
I didn't believe my daughter when she told me.
She's been ducking my questions about men for years.
And your rating? I'm a Commander.
JAG lawyer.
That would make sense.
So, what do you think, Harmon Rabb Do you and my daughter have a future? Well ( laughs ) more than I'd anticipated.
( no audio ) ( speaking in Spanish ) Why did you come in? Your brother insisted.
You should've made up an excuse.
Oh, what, like, uh, "Gee, I can't come in, "in case I get mistaken for the boyfriend of a woman who doesn't even like me"? Let's just sit down.
About a month ago, I told my mom I found someone.
It was a fabrication.
I steered clear of specifics, used the excuse that I didn't know if it was going to last, and, if it did, I'd bring him by.
Why? Because I sensed she didn't have long.
I thought it might give her closure.
Was she pressuring you to get married? My brother's divorced.
I'm her last hope.
You know, maybe you ought to tell her the truth.
You didn't.
Hey, it's not my call.
It would be my last act to my dying mother.
I appreciate that, but I-I-I can't play this out.
Just for an hour.
Sorry.
No.
That took me by surprise.
Ah I am so thrilled for both of you.
( sighs ): I can't tell you how good it feels to finally hear some positive news.
It's been a bear of year.
What she's been through her open three times.
She got infected twice.
Last one, it took her over a month just to recover from the anesthesia.
( sighs ) This, for her This is like manna from heaven.
It's great, just great.
Honey Did did you tell him we set a date? No That's fantastic.
Oh, congratulations.
( chuckling ) MAN: Vector to Raul Garcia's hacienda, GPS coordinate number 34.
Aye, sir.
Steadying up on course zero-two-eight, level at angels five.
The target area is ten degrees right, two miles.
I have acquired the target.
Let's take them out.
We don't know how many innocents are sitting in there with him.
It's a little late for cold feet, Edward.
MAN: Target area, one mile.
Garcia sold American military hardware to a known terrorist.
I doubt he's having dinner with the Vienna Boys Choir.
Passing target area.
Come back around for a second look.
Yes, sir.
You're taking a chance on losing him.
How bad do you want this? Excuse me? Do you really believe Raul Garcia fits the terrorist profile, or are you just looking for a feather in your cap? You take him out and you're wrong, you're not going to see the headlines or the new duty station you want.
You'll get us both permanently reassigned to Leavenworth.
MacKENZIE: I agree with Agent Webb.
It's worth the risk.
Hardy: I don't remember asking your opinion, Jane.
I'm a Marine Judge Advocate, Mr.
Hardy.
I'm well versed in international law, and if you fail to act, I will indicate in my after-action report that you alone were responsible for letting a known enemy of the United Stat go free.
It's your court-martial, Counselor.
And it's your show.
Thought it was our show, Edward.
Let's see how it turns out.
Call it.
Acquire the target.
November's a wonderful month.
My husband and I were married on the 13th.
You would have liked him.
Commanded a destroyer.
He was involved in rescuing hundreds of boat people in Vietnam.
I still get Christmas cards from a lot of them.
Shh.
Mom, you're talking too much.
There's so much to talk about.
Do you want children? Sure.
How were you able to convince her? Well, I just told her God gave her those hips for a reason.
Steadying up on new course.
Zero-three-eight.
Target acquired.
Target locked up and in envelope.
Master armament switch on.
Select missiles one and two, two second interval launches.
Ready.
Take 'em out.
Fire weapons one and two.
Missiles away.
( laughter ) ( speaking Spanish ) ( beeping ) That's what I call a surgical strike.
( speaking Farsi ) TECH: I got a Baby Huey on the cell phone.
Put him on the speaker.
And get a fix on his location.
Got it.
This is Mother Hen.
Bumblebees are leaving the hive.
Awaiting instructions.
Get out of there, Baby Huey.
Repeat, get out of there now.
Roger that.
Oh, and congratulations, Colonel.
For what? On your bun in the oven.
It looks good on you, ma'am.
( man shouting over speaker ) ( shouted command ) What you're looking for is not here.
Good-bye.
It's going to be a long night for you, my amigo.
( engine starts ) ( speaks Farsi ) GALE: You could have left my hips out of it.
Yeah, I guess I could have.
You're punishing me for this, aren't you? You're not feeling the love? And you're welcome.
I do appreciate what you're doing.
But you're right, you should go.
It's too much to ask of you.
What do you plan to tell them? You had a client who just got arrested.
Next time your brother asks about the wedding? We had a fight and broke up.
It won't shock him, trust me.
All right.
Uh, the item you're after is out.
( slams machine ) This is about as close to marriage as you've ever come, isn't it? Same question.
I guess career's always gotten in my way.
Same answer.
You're a little more closed-off than I am.
But your timing stinks.
An observation from our last encounter.
She'd like to speak to both of you.
Andrew, I It seems important to her.
How are you feeling, Mom? I'm dying, darling.
I know this is terribly unfair, but I have a request.
Cancel the wedding.
You don't want us to get married? I want to see you get married.
Do it here, tonight.
Honey? What do you think? Were you able to trace it? It's a hacienda.
Well, let's get him out of there.
I'm not sending a single man into a situation where I don't have Intel.
He'll be dead before you get your Intel, Hardy.
He knew the risks.
At least, I hope you briefed him better than you briefed this lawyer.
I'm a Marine.
We don't leave our men behind.
We can't be guided by yesterday's battlefield sentimentality.
Then I'll get him out of there.
Hardy: You're going to let this happen? She's on her own.
Well, you won't be eeding this.
You're better off without her.
Give me a ride.
I thought I was on my own.
You were.
Apology accepted.
It's not an apology.
It's just a statement of fact.
Gracious as always, Webb.
And give me back my Glock.
What would you have said? I thought we agreed on an excuse.
That was before she raised the stakes.
Well, I'm sticking with it.
You told her we'd see.
We got to stop this masquerade.
The longer we carry on, the deeper we sink.
If we staged something simple, just for her benefit.
I know a minister lives a quarter mile from here.
Let me make a quick call.
He's Methodist.
Andrew Would this be a problem? Yeah.
Well, maybe he has a nonsectarian service.
Look, you need to sit down and listen to me, please.
Okay.
Your sister and I are not engaged.
In fact, we barely know each other.
I was mistaken for someone who doesn't exist, I played along.
You understand? Yes.
I would say that changes things.
Doesn't matter then who performs the service.
Cana? Yeah, sure.
Gracias.
De Nada.
So There's one chance for you to get out of here alive Show me the way.
Tell me who you work for.
Raul Garcia.
He's a bad man to cross.
He'll get his drugs.
I want to do business with him in the future, but I know who Raul Garcia is.
The question is who you are.
You want my life story? Your purpose here would suffice.
What is your interest in what is going on here? Raul Garcia said I'd be safe here.
Raul Garcia spoke stupidly.
Your safety is for me to determine, not him.
Andrew: There are no options here, Commander.
There is a woman in that room who is expecting you to make her final moments worth something.
What what if we tell her we couldn't find a minister and we do something symbolic? She wants the real thing.
Come on, you're making this my responsibility.
You started this.
You invented the boyfriend.
I just played along.
Yeah, but she did it for the right reasons, don't you think? I mean, she knew that our mother would be encouraged to know that, after she was gone, her child would be loved.
I wish I'd thought of it first.
All right.
I'll do it.
On one condition.
I get to pick the silverware pattern.
Thank you.
Now all we have to do is find somebody who's willing to impersonate a minister.
I can handle that, too.
Must be some friend.
Oh, he'll resist.
And you'll convince him how? Hmm, I'll give him a direct order.
GALINDEZ: You don't drink, Sadik? No.
You don't know what you're missing.
No, you don't know what you're missing.
How long have you worked for Raul Garcia? Four months.
Before that? I just kicked around here and there.
Take a walk with me.
I want to show you something.
It's for you.
I made a call.
Who is it? Quickly, he's waiting.
Commander Rabb.
Harrison Kershaw, Deputy Director CIA.
Hello, sir.
Catherine tells me you're trying to locate one of our operatives? Yes, sir.
Clayton Webb.
Stand in line, Commander.
He's with Lieutenant Colonel Sarah MacKenzie a JAG lawyer.
Yeah, I've been apprised of the colonel's involvement.
Did you approve it? No, Clayton's sailing his own ship on this one.
How can I contact him, sir? I can't contact him.
Well, it would help to know if she were safe.
I imagine it would.
May I ask if you hear anything You don't have the proper security clearance.
Well, could I get it? I'll update the Judge Advocate.
You can pluck on his sleeve.
Thank you, sir.
I must say, you have a very interesting service record.
If you ever find yourself out of uniform, give me a call.
I appreciate your time, sir.
Thank you.
Um Was he able to help? We'll see.
But it looks like I found a way into the loop.
Thank you for that.
It was only fair.
By the way, if I'd known Colonel MacKenzie was involved, I would have made the call sooner.
Sorry.
SADIK: You are American.
GALINDEZ: Yep.
Born there, been to prison there, not going back.
I understand.
Why are you working for Raul Garcia? For money.
Are you a man of honor? Not for a long time.
Do you miss your homeland? Don't you? My homeland is occupied.
Sacred ground now defiled.
Until it is restored to what Allah intended I will not return.
This I say: Kill those who join other gods with God wherever ye shall find them.
And seize them, besiege them and lay wait for them with every kind of ambush.
That's some pitch for conversion.
I think we can come to an understanding.
MacKENZIE: If we're Gunny's backup, who's covering ours? So, how did you two meet? On a case.
I was opposing counsel and I needed CIA help.
Catherine was assigned to make sure I didn't get it.
Enemies at first.
Yeah, but I guess we admired each other's strengths.
And what were yours? He's a good sport for one.
And what did you like about my daughter? Uh many things.
One would do.
Well, I guess I guess I admire how deeply she loves her mother.
Andrew: The reverend is here.
( indistinct conversation ) This ring is a symbol of your commitment and will forever remind of the vows by which the two of you, as registered partners, have chosen to take.
Will you repeat after me? I, Harmon Rabb, give this ring to you, my companion, as a symbol of my vows.
I, Harmon Rabb, give this ring To you, my companion, as a symbol of our vows.
Roberts: And with all that I am, and with all that I have, I honor you.
RABB: And with all that I am, and with all that have, I honor you.
I, Catherine Gale, accept this ring from you, my companion, as a symbol of my vows.
I, Catherine Gale, accept this ring from you, my companion, as a symbol of my vows.
And with all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you.
And with all that I am, and with all that I have, I honor you.
Roberts: Would you please join hands? Now that Harm and Catherine have given themselves to each other by solemn vows and the joining of hands and giving and receiving of the ring, I pronounce that they are partners for life.
You may kiss.
( crying and sniffling quietly ) RABB: She hadn't been sitting up? Andrew: Not today.
She didn't have the strength.
Roberts: Well, that's promising, isn't it? Andrew: Yeah, but it's confusing.
Catherine: Lieutenant, thank you so much.
But please don't let us keep you.
You should get back to your family.
I-I wanted to apologize for the wording, ma'am.
I grabbed the first ceremony I could find off the Web and it wasn't until I was reading it that I realized it was for same-sex couples from Denmark.
( alt chuckling ) I don't think she noticed.
Roberts: May I? The ring? Oh! Of course.
Please thank your wife for me.
Here, let me help.
( chuckling ) Wow that's really on there.
It went on so easily.
( laughing ) RABB: There it is Yeah okay.
Whew.
Roberts: Thank you, sir.
My best to both of you.
My thoughts are with you.
Thank you.
Andrew: I'll walk you out.
I hope you find Colonel MacKenzie.
I'm confident she's okay.
Yeah, I'm, uh I'm sure.
It's not like she hasn't been on dangerous assignments before, huh? It's just, uh, something about this one.
I don't know.
I do.
DOCTOR: Okay What's going on? She's resting.
I'm, uh, I'm upgrading her status from critical to serious.
That work for you? Her vitals have improved.
There's a significant reduction of fluid in her lungs.
Due to what? Possibly the experimental medication we put her on at the end of last week.
It's effects could've kicked in later than we expected.
They just started working now? Something is.
Now, we'll monitor her very carefully for the next 48 hours, and I'll keep you apprised.
Thank you.
My pleasure.
Wow.
( wry laugh ) I think it was the ceremony.
Uh, I don't know what to think.
( sniffling ) Hey, hey Hey, you okay? ( crying quietly ) Listen, why don't I take you down for coffee? We could, uh we could call it our honeymoon.
( laughs ) I'll be fine.
Thank you.
You sure? Yeah.
You don't want me to hang? No.
I've got Andy.
You don't have to do this any longer.
Okay.
I'll call you, tomorrow, and, uh, see how she is.
Unless I call you first.
( whispering ): She thinks we're married.
Yeah, she does.
( sighing ) Grenades.
Where do you think Gunny is? I don't know.
Hacienda? Thanks.
You don't need to do that.
Uh, that's really not necessary.
What do you want to know? What do you guys want to know? Cover me.
Okay.
Go.
( speaking Farsi ) ( yells in Farsi ) Okay, come on! Colonel! Over here! Gunny! Go, go! I got your six! ( yelling in Farsi ) ( yelling in Farsi ) ( gunfire continues ) Let's go! Go, go, go! ( men yelling ) Gunny, let's go! Let's go! Come on, Gunny!
