JAG s10e13 Episode Script

Who did this, Habib? Was it Taliban? Uzbeks? The Uzbeks do not harm us.
Well, then, who did this? Habib If you don't tell me, how will we find them? You will find them, if it is Allah's will and yours.
I can't speak for Allah, but I would dearly love to punish whoever did this.
Would you? The Greeks had Achilles.
Trojans, Hector.
And we have Captain Jack Ramsey.
Please sit down.
Ever hear of him? The so-called "American Warlord"? As you suggest, General, a myth.
You think so? Oh, I think the "Warlord" has a good PR man.
Well, supposedly, he's been in Waziristan, hot on bin Laden's trail.
Yeah, when he's not saving, uh, President Karzai from assassination or Western reporters from kidnappers, or orphans from earthquakes.
You don't think a Marine captain can handle all that, Commander? Not without a change of clothes and a phone booth, sir.
As it happens, Jack Ramsey is real a real pain.
Ramsey's an LDO Captain who went U.
A.
after Tora Bora.
Joined some friendly mujahadeen who cut their teeth fighting the Taliban.
So he is hunting bin Laden? With a vengeance.
He leads his muj into villages, interrogates the locals, gets a little rough sometimes.
Nothing serious until now.
Two nights ago, someone slaughtered five men in a village called Zaran.
Why do we think it was Captain Ramsey? a shoulder patch flag.
Those patches are only worn on army uniforms, sir.
Ramsey's a Marine.
But his men wear any rag-tag cast- offs they find.
One of them might've been wearing an army BDU jacket.
Do the Afghans have him in custody, sir? Not yet, but if they find him, they'll put him on trial with damn little due process.
Remember the former Green Beret who claimed he was doing black ops for the Pentagon? Yeah, the Afghans charged him with false imprisonment, kidnapping and torturing civilians.
He got ten years.
That's what Ramsey'll get, or worse.
He sent a message to the local command.
He wants to come in, defend himself against the murder charges.
But first, he wants to speak to U.
S.
military counsel.
There's a C-141 leaving Andrews in two hours.
You'll be in Kabul in the morning.
But, sir, if he's hiding in the mountains, how do we find him? You don't.
He'll find you.
The next match is between Anaconda Angie and Susie Slamazon! Keep it clean, now.
Let's go! I'll get you another one, huh? Oh! Hey, watch the kicking.
You watch the kicking, man! I am! Oh Hey, no choking.
Come on, get your legs Hey! Ow! Hey, hey! No hair! What'd I tell you, Angie? No pulling the hair.
She started it.
Nice one! Oh, no Uh-oh.
No! No! No! No! No! Pin him! Hey! One, two, three! Yeah, whoo-hoo! Wow, boy, yeah! Good job.
Oh, thanks.
I am getting too old for this.
It's a good crowd, though, huh? Spending money like drunken sailors.
Oh, I signed for this for you.
Department of the Navy? Maybe they're upping your pension.
They're recalling me to active duty.
God help this country.
Captain Ramsey's not the only freelancer out there.
We've got mercenaries from South Africa, Germany, Russia all wanting the $25 million reward for bin Laden.
As a member of the U.
S.
military, Ramsey's not eligible for the reward, sir.
Point being? What motivated him to leave his unit and become a vigilante? He lost a brother on 9/11- a fireman.
Maybe it's a personal vendetta.
Maybe he just wanted to be a hero.
He's a damn menace.
One night, in one village, he destroys the trust we've worked three years to build.
Any idea where he is now? Could be in a cave in Waziristan or a suite at the Mustafa Hotel.
I've heard some of his mujahadeen think he can make himself invisible.
If I were you, Colonel, I'd talk him into getting his invisible butt into a Marine brig before the Afghan Army finds him.
We do not ask Khalili what he is, and he does not say.
Do you see the American here? This one.
I was afraid the American would kill our sons, so I told him he can find Khalili in another village.
He left with his men, but then, later that night, they returned, and they shot everyone they saw.
They dropped this.
Why kill anyone? What was the motive? Revenge.
I lied about Khalili, and when they could not find him, they came back for blood.
During the shooting, who saw the American? Who can identify him? No one.
It was dark, and their faces were covered.
Who else could it have been? Ramsey sent the messenger, sir.
Where is he now? We turned him over to the Afghans.
Why? We had no right to hold him.
He's not an enemy combatant.
Has anyone pressured him to reveal Ramsey's whereabouts? The guy'd swallow his tongue before he talked.
Ramsey's men are fanatically loyal.
To the point where they'd kill five innocent men if he ordered them to? I'd believe it.
Look, South Waziristan is no place for a couple of lawyers armed with briefcases.
We appreciate your concern, Colonel, but we can take care of ourselves.
If it were up to me, I'd send a recon team after Ramsey.
Two of us might stand a better chance of getting to him.
I disagree, but someone who works in a five-sided building wants you two to go.
I would hate to see your Captain Ramsey fall into unfriendly hands.
Five dead men, five families with blood feuds demanding retribution.
But under your new Constitution An impressive document written with the assistance of some fine American lawyers.
Mm, but just words on paper? Chapter One says "No law can be contrary to the sacred religion of Islam.
" The Qur'an is inseparable from our legal system, with all its many conflicting interpretations.
Yes, but in our country, that would be unconstitutional.
In our country, that is the constitution.
Americans have little respect for our customs.
That'll happen when you don't allow defense lawyers to cross-examine witnesses, or call their own.
Captain Ramsey would get a fair trial in our courts.
Of course, but if he were tried in a military court in America, it would relieve you of the burden.
Will you advise the captain to surrender to American authorities? If you can guarantee us safe passage to an American military base.
Done.
Then we have a deal.
Now all we have to do is get Captain Ramsey to agree.
Wahid! Get up! Colonel, Commander, meet Wahid your tour guide.
This man doesn't look in any condition to guide us anywhere.
Americans I love Americans.
Wahid was sent to fetch you by his "American Warlord.
" Captain Jack is a great man.
I will, uh, help him kill bin Laden.
The man Captain Ramsey was looking for- Fahim Khalili- is he Al Qaeda? He does jobs for them at the highest levels.
Assassin? No.
Explosives? Weapons? Khalili, he sells medicines.
He's what you call an alchemist.
A pharmacist? Yes, uh, yes.
He owns a store in Moquot.
An Al Qaeda pharmacist? Uh, that's all I can say.
Captain Jack will tell you the rest.
You really admire Captain Jack, don't you? He is a great man, and I am his right arm.
He give this to me.
It belonged to his brother.
So, you know his brother was killed in 9/11.
Is it any wonder he hunts bin Laden with such fury? We stop here.
Why? A delivery to a friend.
Ah Do you wish the captain harm? We're here to protect him from those who would do him harm.
There is a woman.
Let her speak.
I'm Sarah MacKenzie.
Mm.
Not many women come up here.
Mazin, tell the Americans when the last time Captain Jack was here.
Six days ago, after the sunset.
This is why I bring you here.
Mazin can provide an albino.
He means an alibi.
But the Taliban must not find out.
I am not afraid of the Taliban.
What more can they do to me? When the Americans came here, an aide to Taliban leader Mohammed Omar was hiding in a nearby village.
Mazin told Captain Jack.
Now, there is one less Taliban on the earth.
But when Omar's forces found out, Mazin had to pay the price for his courage.
I'm sorry.
If you wish me to help Captain Ramsey, I will do anything.
Including lie for him? Can you tell us why Captain Ramsey came here that night? He was looking for a man.
Fahim Khalili? Yes.
And what did you tell him? I told him Khalili lives in the village of Moquot, in the next valley.
A blind man sees many things.
Fool.
A blind man is blind.
Khalili would come up here and bring medicine for my eyes.
Why did he want Khalili? Ah, that you would have to ask him for yourself.
I served my country, I did my time, and this is the thanks I get? There's a manpower shortage, Dad, you know that.
So, extend tours of duty, delay discharges.
They're already doing that.
Well, they can't recall me.
I'm a successful businessman.
Anyway, isn't there a 30-year time limit? Yes, but they can waive it in a time of war, or if you have special skills that they need.
What special skills? I was a storekeeper.
You got to keep me out of this, son.
On what grounds? Extreme hardship.
I got a business to run.
Mm-hmm.
No excuse.
Listen, they're probably going to put you into a warehouse.
You'll be fine.
Are you kidding? It's the convoys and warehouses that get hit first.
Here you go.
I'm too old for this.
Dad, you're in great shape.
Yeah, so was that 52-year-old master sergeant who died of a heart attack in Kuwait.
He was playing touch football.
You'll probably have a heart attack here playing with these wrestlers.
Yeah, but what a way to go.
Come on, Bud, think of something.
What can we use? Uh, okay- physical condition, dependents, a job critical to the war effort Wait, wait, wait.
What was that first one? Physical condition.
We stop here.
How far are we to Ramsey's camp? Uh, half a day's ride.
Well, then we should keep riding.
No, the path here is narrow and steep.
After nightfall, it is too dangerous.
Follow me, but carefully.
A great battle took place here.
They say a thousand elephants are buried on this plain.
Alexander the Great's war elephants? Yes, that is the teaching.
A spent mine.
Looks like a Russian MON-50.
We're camping in a minefield? What safer place there is to sleep than the middle of a minefield? But, uh, please stay on the path.
Did you get them? You ask, I get.
All over-the-counter stuff.
This one is pseudoephedrine, this one is niac Hey, I don't care what they are.
You're sure I'm going to test positive for speed? It's worked before.
Plus these little blue babies.
Doris, not now.
I don't have time now.
Maybe later.
Dream on, cowboy.
Take three of these combined with a decongestant.
Your face will get flushed, and your blood pressure will be off the Richter.
Great.
I'll stroke out.
Stroke out or ship out.
It's your choice, boss.
Meat loaf? I've got Salisbury mis-steak.
Pickled goat bladder? Yeah, I'll try it.
Mmm.
It's not bad.
You should try some.
Oh, yeah.
I'll be right on it.
My mother used to make this lamb's brain soup, and the aroma, it would make you weep for joy.
Is your mother? Killed by the Taliban? Yes.
Along with my father who fought bravely with Ahmad Shah Massoud.
So, you and Captain Ramsey share a common bond.
He trusts me with his life, as I trust him with mine.
Well Who wants the first watch? All right, I'll take the second.
I will take the last watch.
That's all right.
The colonel and I have it covered.
Please, I stand perimeter duty for Captain Jack, and I have never once fallen asleep.
What the hell is that? cholera, tetanus, typhoid.
You got the wrong guy, hot stuff.
Master Chief Storekeeper Roberts? Master Chief Storekeeper Roberts, retired.
Not anymore.
When you get to Iraq, watch out for the sand flies.
Iraq? Their bites cause liver damage.
Oh, and don't drink the water.
It's got parasites that'll dig into your testicles.
Uh, hold on, hold on, hold on.
What about my physical exam? You passed.
Well, how about the drug screen? Normal readings for someone trying to test positive for methamphetamines.
Come on, I'm a speed freak.
Yeah, life in the fast lane, huh? Well, uh, how about my blood pressure? Slightly elevated.
You'll get meds for that.
Okay, well, there's one other thing.
I'm gay.
Don't like women, huh? Well, I just find men attractive.
I mean, what the hell can you do about that? No Oh, my God.
You're having a very hard day, aren't you? Arm or butt, Master Chief? Wahid? Wahid! What's wrong? Our perimeter guard who never falls asleep has disappeared.
His rifle's gone.
His horse and gear are still here.
Commander, I'm sorry if we alarmed you.
What's going on, Wahid? You know we're friends.
Who are these men? These are your escorts.
You're our escort.
No.
I was merely your guide.
These men will see us safely through the mountains.
You must put these hoods on.
Please.
You must put these on.
No.
I'm sorry, Commander.
I must insist.
I'm Jack Ramsey.
Don't you mean Captain Jack Ramsey? I'm Commander Rabb.
This is Lieutenant Colonel MacKenzie.
We're with JAG.
I know.
Sorry about all this, but there are a lot of people who would like to see me dead.
From what we hear, with good reason.
Deserting your unit, running a private army, kidnapping and beating civilians.
All for a good cause and with good intentions.
What is it they say about the road to hell? I've seen the road to hell, Commander, and it's paved with the bodies of people you loved.
Please, sit.
We know about your brother.
We're sorry.
But you're a Marine- you swore to discharge your duties.
I tried that at Tora Bora when bin Laden and his Al Qaeda leaders were all surrounded.
We could have buried them in their caves.
But CENTCOM was afraid of casualties, wouldn't let us go in.
They let the Afghans do the fighting.
There's no proof bin Laden was at Tora Bora.
Intel said he was.
They also said he was in Pakistan and Kashmir.
They used the Afghans 'cause they knew the caves.
They knew the mountains.
They were supported by Special Forces who provided tactical leadership, and they called in air strikes.
You can't just drop daisy cutters from 30,000 feet.
You gotta stick your head in the holes these rats hide in.
No.
Our brass lost their nerve, plain and simple and bin Laden got away.
And that's why you became a vigilante? I wasn't doing any good over there.
Now, I have 50 mujahadeen who'll go anywhere and do anything to kill bin Laden.
Including destroying a village and murdering innocent people? Don't believe everything you hear, Colonel.
What will it take to get you down the hill, Captain? I want you to help me clear my name.
You didn't care about your name before.
Why worry about it now? The Afghan people have turned against me.
My sources have all dried up.
To be perfectly honest, I can't find bin Laden without help from locals.
You'll have to stand trial.
Will you defend me? Yeah.
In a military court-martial, not an Afghan court.
We have an agreement with the prosecutor general.
If an American military trial happens, the Afghan government will leave you alone.
This prosecutor do you trust him? About as much as I trust you right now.
We could call Mazin as an alibi witness.
No.
Colonel Burns could provide him with protection.
He would never accept bodyguards.
Even with Mazin, we've still got to complete the time frame.
Meaning what? Meaning we need to establish where you went after you left Mazin's house.
I won't put him at risk.
You're asking a lot, Captain.
You're not giving much in return.
Sorry, Colonel.
But we do this my way or not at all.
Commander Rabb.
Colonel MacKenzie.
Thank you for delivering the prisoner to us.
Captain Ramsey will be tried by the American military.
That's our agreement.
Unfortunately, agreements change.
I have been ordered to arrest Captain Ramsey for the murder of five Afghan civilians.
Kindly turn him over.
Let him go.
Let him go.
Come on, shoot me now! Go ahead! Save yourself the time and trouble of having a trial.
No trouble, Captain.
And it won't take much time.
Commander? The Afghans knew they'd never be able to capture me.
They played you.
Zabi never intended for me to get anywhere near a Marine base.
It's prosecutorial misconduct.
We'll raise it with the judge.
The judge- he's probably his first cousin.
We can still put up a defense.
We need to know where you went after you left Mazin's hut.
Sorry, I can't tell you that.
You look a little flushed.
Are you okay? No, I'm not okay.
They're sending me to Iraq.
You got to do something.
Well, I've done some research.
And? Well, there might be a legal argument to keep you out.
You serious? Don't get your hopes up, okay? It's a long shot.
Hey, if the Red Sox can win the Series, anything is possible.
We have to plead your case in front of Captain Curry over at NAVSUP, and that's if he agrees to see us.
Well, will the general give you time off? Well, no, not for something like this.
But don't worry about it.
I'll take care of it.
Hey, that's my boy.
In the name of Allah, the merciful and compassionate, this court is now convened in accordance with the sacred religion of Islam and the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.
Colonel MacKenzie, Commander Rabb.
Welcome to my courtroom.
Thank you, Your Honor.
Thank you, sir.
Is the government ready to proceed? We are, Your Honor.
And the defense? Your Honor, we have yet to receive a written copy of the charges.
Ah, the holiday.
The clerical staff has abandoned us.
We've also asked for a copy of the Evidence Code, Your Honor.
I'm afraid it's all up here.
But make your objections, and I will rule accordingly.
Now, are there any preliminary motions? Your Honor, we move for a continuance in order to question witnesses and obtain evidence.
Denied.
Anything else? We ask that the defendant's shackles be removed.
Denied.
Shall we proceed? Your Honor, we secured Captain Ramsey's surrender based on an agreement that he would be tried in an American military court, sir.
Mr.
Zabi has breached that agreement.
We therefore move for a dismissal on the grounds of prosecutorial misconduct.
A serious charge.
Mr.
Zabi.
Under the sovereignty ruling of King Mahmud, the defense argument fails.
I believe Mr.
Zabi is correct.
The prosecutor's actions, no matter how egregious, cannot be used to excuse criminal conduct.
May we see a copy of King Mahmud's ruling, sir, or is that also up here? King Mahmud's pronouncements have been handed down in the oral tradition for a thousand years, somewhat predating your Constitution.
But the rule Mr.
Zabi refers to is similar to your concept of sovereign immunity.
Now, let's proceed.
Perhaps we should just skip to the sentencing and be done with it.
If the defendant cannot restrain himself, he will be gagged.
The defendant's frustration is understandable, Your Honor.
Our legal system may seem archaic to you, Commander, but, in time, perhaps it will be as perfect as yours, and innocent men such as your O.
J.
Simpson shall go free.
Mr.
Zabi, please submit your evidence.
Personally, I'm not happy with stop-loss orders that keep people in the military after their enlistments end.
And I'm even unhappier with these involuntary recalls of retirees.
I couldn't agree with you more, sir.
However, our manpower is stretched.
We need to augment active-duty troops.
But wouldn't younger men be a better choice, sir? Maturity and experience can more than make up for youth and energy.
You're not as apt to get excited and lose your head as the younger troops.
But Master Chief Roberts hasn't kept up with the latest advances in supply system technologies.
I'm a computer moron, sir.
You were on active duty before the inventory records were modernized? That's right, sir.
That's exactly why we need you.
I don't understand.
With power outages, dust storms, other problems in Iraq, the new computer systems often fail.
Virtually no supply personnel there knows the old pencil and paper, alphanumeric system.
In short, the navy needs someone who's old school.
Truth is, Captain, I wasn't very good at my job.
What Master Chief Roberts means Most of the time, I'd have the enlisted men do my work while I was playing poker.
I see.
What about your promotions, your ratings? I dummied up the qualifications, sir.
So your argument is that you're a liar and a malingerer? Yes, sir.
Unfortunately, Master Chief, your records say you were quite competent.
So, unless you can cite some persuasive legal ground Sir, Master Chief Roberts operates a business that's essential to the nation's defense effort and, therefore, under Trestman v.
United States, is exempt from recall.
Just what is your business, Master Chief? You might call it a naval entertainment emporium.
How's that? It's a bar, sir.
It's a bar, sir.
But it's not just any bar.
The only bikini-wrestler bar in Norfolk.
Come back tomorrow, Master Chief.
You'll have my decision.
I was asleep when the shooting started.
You wisely stayed out of sight.
Yes, after making sure the children were safe.
So then you didn't see Captain Ramsey? No.
So, the gunmen could've been Taliban, they could've been Al Qaeda They had no reason to attack us.
Perhaps they believed you betrayed Fahim Khalili, and the attack on the village was retribution.
But Al Qaeda would not leave an American flag patch among the bodies.
They would if they wanted us to believe the Americans had attacked the village.
The patch could've been left by anyone.
I mean, I look around the courtroom now, I see at least four Afghan citizens with American flag patches.
But these people did not attack the village.
Neither did Captain Ramsey.
All right.
Enough.
Any more questions for this witness, Commander? No, Your Honor, I have no further questions.
How did you get Captain Ramsey to leave Zaran? I told him he could find Khalili in a neighboring village.
Was that true? No.
I did not know where Khalili was.
But I was afraid the captain would start killing people.
I would have said anything.
And what did the Captain say to you as he left Zaran? He said "If you are lying, old man, I will be back, and even Allah won't be able to save you.
" The prosecution rests.
Your Honor, if that's the prosecution's case, we move for dismissal on all charges.
There is no hard evidence tying Captain Ramsey to the crime scene.
There are no eyewitnesses.
There's no one who can identify Captain Ramsey.
I can identify him.
Who are you? My name is Sahiba Khalili.
This man killed my husband.
Was his wife telling the truth? Are you responsible for Khalili's death? He died as a result of my actions.
What's that mean? When we found Khalili, he had dozens of vials of medications with him- red blood cell boosters for dialysis patients.
Osama bin Laden has chronic kidney disease.
I knew the drugs were for him.
I told Khalili I'd let him go if he led me to bin Laden.
And that I'd kill him very slowly if he did not.
He dove off a cliff.
How do we fight people who want to die? We accommodate them every chance we get.
Did anyone else die that night? No.
You realize the prosecutors will add another count of homicide.
They can do that in the middle of a trial? They have a different set of rules here.
If you two don't want to defend me, it's okay.
Why didn't you tell us about Khalili? Because then you would've had to charge me with his death, and I didn't want to burden you with that decision.
So while the villagers were being slaughtered, you were kidnapping Khalili, threatening his life and chasing him to his death.
One hell of a defense, isn't it? You believe him? I have to believe him.
No one would come up with an alibi like that.
Captain Jack does not lie.
Where have you been? To the village of Moquot.
You brought Khalili's widow here? Better for the captain to face punishment for one man he did kill than for five he did not.
Captain Curry hearing your case? That's right.
He's tough.
Tell me about it.
I tried every argument in the book.
I couldn't move him, but I'm not giving up.
I got a son who's a JAG.
We're looking for an angle.
Well, if you find one, let me know.
What have you tried? Oh, direct approach.
I'm old, I'm out of shape, I've had a triple bypass, I got a titanium hip Nice! I like that hip thing.
And I've got a restaurant to run.
Yeah, me, too.
Well, a bar.
Well, that's no reason to stop me from going.
I'm a chef, they need cooks.
I can do a lot of good over there.
You're talking about Iraq? Where else? Why not? I mean, why should our young folks bear the brunt? Why can't we do a little bit of it, huh? It's our country, too.
You want to go.
Yeah.
Don't you? Uh eh, absolutely.
Master Chief Roberts.
Yes, sir.
Hey, good luck.
Soften him up for me, will ya? I read the cases you submitted, Master Chief.
The precedents are there; you would be exempt from involuntary recall if your business were essential to the defense effort.
Unfortunately, a bikini bar does not meet that criterion.
Sir, Big Bud's isn't just a bikini bar.
It's a place of rest and relaxation, of camaraderie, and companionship for our sailors.
Master Chief, I don't for one second buy your lame excuse for avoiding service.
However, I've located a dozen other retirees, with families and jobs, some older than you, who are more than willing to serve.
This mean I'm off the hook, sir? This means we don't need you or want you.
I'll have BUPERS rescind your recall orders.
You're dismissed.
We won't be calling you again.
Aye, aye, sir.
The American said he only wanted to ask my husband questions, but when Fahim refused to answer, they dragged him out of the house.
In the morning, we found his body.
Your witness.
What time did Captain Ramsey take your husband away? Maybe 9:00 at night.
And this happened nine days ago? Yes.
At your home in Moquot? Yes.
Which is how far from the village of Zaran? I am not sure exactly.
Maybe 200 kilometers.
Your Honor, the prosecution must make a choice.
If Captain Ramsey is accused of Fahim Khalili's death, he cannot also be charged with the simultaneous murders in Zaran, Colonel MacKenzie has a point, Mr.
Zabi.
Even the American Warlord cannot be in two places at the same time.
We will need time to determine on which case we should proceed.
Maybe the defense can make the choice easier.
Captain Ramsey is a man of honor.
He denies only that which he has not done- the slaughter of innocent people in the village of Zaran.
In return for dismissal of the murder charge in Zaran, your client will admit killing Fahim Khalili? Unintentionally killing.
Before the defendant makes any admissions, he should be aware that under Chapter 17, verse 33 of Qur'an, the family of a man who is unjustly slain may seek retaliation.
Mr.
Zabi is correct.
What kind of retaliation? For manslaughter, the family may demand that Captain Ramsey suffer amputation of his right hand and left leg.
Your Honor, may I speak? You may.
I am responsible for the death of Fahim Khalili.
He was an accessory to the murder of thousands of innocent persons.
And while I cannot say that I honestly regret his death, I do regret the pain that I have caused his family.
Very well.
Tomorrow, I'll hear argument of counsel and pronounce sentence.
We stand adjourned.
Mrs.
Khalili.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
May I speak with you for a moment? After prayers.
Hey, Dad how did it go with Fleet Supply? I'm going in.
What?! Hey, Bud.
Is everyone having a good time? Hey, Doris.
How you doing? Good, how are you? Good.
Quiet down.
And now, the rematch that you've all been waiting for Anaconda Angie versus Susie Slamazon! Okay, girls.
I want a fair fight.
No kicking, no eye-gouging, and no hitting below the belt.
And that just goes for me.
Okay, now, ready? Clean fight.
Come on! Watch the hair pulling.
Watch the hair pulling.
Let's get him.
Ow! No, no, no, no, wait a minute! One two three! Oh, Dad.
Sorry, Big Bud.
Yeah, me, too.
It's okay, girls.
It wasn't your fault.
They were supposed to catch me.
I warned you this would happen.
Hey, the crowd loves it.
Try to put some weight on it.
Ow! Oh.
Oh.
I think it's broken.
Nice try, Dad.
What're you talking about? Your ankle's not hurt.
It's all part of a scam to get out of the recall.
Ow! Ow! What's the matter with you? It's really broken? It is now.
Could I get some more ice? No, no, no, no.
Dad I'm sorry.
For your information, I don't need to get out of the recall.
Captain Curry rescinded my orders.
But you said you were going back in.
I am.
I volunteered.
You volunteered.
I'll be in Athens, Georgia, teaching at the Naval Supply School.
Can't let you young folks bear all the burden.
Guess you don't know me as well as you thought.
Captain Jack Ramsey, you have been found guilty of manslaughter.
I sentence you to suffer retribution at the hands of the slain man's widow, according to our ancient law.
It's also written the widow of a man who is slain may waive punishment in exchange for blood money.
Sahiba Khalili, do you wish to pardon this man? Fahim was a good husband but nothing can bring him back to this world.
Yes, my family and I wish to pardon this man.
In return for what? Pickup truck confiscated from an opium dealer.
A new well, to be dug in Moquot by Captain Ramsey's men.
And one hundred goats.
Your Honor, this is foolishness.
It is substantial payment, Mr.
Zabi.
You invoked the religious law, the defense complied with it.
Justice has been done.
Your Honor.
Your Honor Commander.
Colonel.
Thank you.
So nothing left now but the court-martial, right? We spoke to General Ezring.
He's agreed to 60 days confinement and dismissal from the Marine Corps.
And we can work on the dismissal charge.
That's okay, no need.
Yeah, but if we can save your career Mac, I think dismissal from the Marine Corps is exactly what the captain wants.
Yes, it is.
It will allow me to go after bin Laden before his trail runs cold.
And a shot at the $25 million reward money will definitely keep that trail warm, won't it, Cap? Mm-hmm.
But the money's not for me, sir.
After we get bin Laden, there'll be others.
Al-Nasser, Al-Zawahiri- they're still out there.
We're going to need that money to track them down.
You dodged a bullet this time, Captain.
Next time, someone may not be satisfied with a hundred goats.
So, if this lawyering thing doesn't work out, come join me.
I can always use good men and women.
Let's go, sir.
You'd like to join him, wouldn't you? Wouldn't you? Gedownload van Bierdopje.
