JAG

FIVE MINUTES.

I JUST WANT TO SEE HER FOR FIVE MINUTES.

WHAT DID HE SAY?

SHE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE YOU.

WE'RE SAILING TOMORROW MORNING.

I JUST WANT TO GIVE HER THIS.

COME ON. I MAY NOT SEE HER AGAIN.

GOOD. GOOD.

DAMN IT!

WHAT DOES HE THINK I'M GOING TO DO

IN FIVE MINUTES?

YOU CAN'T BLAME HIM

AFTER WHAT'S HAPPENED HERE LATELY.

WE'RE NOT ALL CRIMINALS.

HE SHOULDN'T PUNISH ME.

WE GOT TO GET BACK TO THE SHIP.

THE CAPTAIN WANTS IT BUTTONED UP BY 2100.

PLEASE, SIR, MAY I PLEASE SPEAK WITH..?

HEY!

HEY, STOP HIM! STOP THAT KID!

MASON!

TRY DOWN THAT WAY.

HOLD IT!

EXCUSE ME.

FINE, THANK YOU.

ARMY OR MARINES?

NAVY.

WHAT GAVE IT AWAY?

MOST AMERICAN MEN IN OKINAWA ARE MILITARY.

WHICH BASE?

OH, I'M NOT STATIONED HERE.

I'M ON VACATION.

I'M JUST ON A LAYOVER.

I DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT FOR THE DIRECT FLIGHT.

YOU MUST BE ANXIOUS TO GET THERE.

TO GET OUT IS MORE LIKE IT.

I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE FROM ANY LAST-MINUTE ASSIGNMENTS

TILL I WAS ON THE PLANE.

A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY.

KATE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I'VE BEEN STUCK ON THIS ISLAND FOR SIX MONTHS.

I KNOW. I MEAN HERE.

YOU PROMISE NOT TO SHOOT THE MESSENGER?

DEPENDS ON THE MESSAGE.

ADMIRAL CHEGWIDDEN

TOLD MY CAPTAIN YOU HAD A LAYOVER

AND TO PULL YOU OFF THE PLANE.

WHY?

WELL, THERE'S BEEN ANOTHER INCIDENT.

IT'S PRETTY HIGH PROFILE.

THE ADMIRAL SAID HE WANTED YOU ON IT.

HE MUST LIKE YOU FOR SOME REASON.

IT'S A BURDEN, BELIEVE ME.

OH, YES, THE AFFLICTION

OF THE CHOSEN ONE.

IS HE SENDING MEG?

SHE JUST LEFT WASHINGTON.

SHE SHOULD BE THERE IN ABOUT 15 HOURS.

I'LL MEET YOU AT THE GATE.

WHOA... WHAT ABOUT MY LUGGAGE?

WELL...

I DOUBT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO WEAR THE SPEEDO ANYWAY.

HAVE A NICE TRIP.

NOT AS NICE AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN.

WE TOOK 12,000 CASUALTIES

AND LOST 34 SHIPS

TAKING THIS ROCK IN WORLD WAR II.

PRETTY HIGH-PRICED PIECE OF REAL ESTATE, HUH?

YES, SIR.

IF YOU ASK ME, WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE GIVEN IT BACK.

NOW WE'VE RETURNED 20% OF OUR MILITARY BASES

THIS IS THE THANKS WE GET.

IS IT POSSIBLE THE MURDER WAS PERSONAL, SIR?

ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE, BUT MY GUESS IS

THIS WAS DESIGNED TO PROVOKE A REACTION...

TO AGGRAVATE A DELICATE SITUATION.

THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT PROTEST GROUPS.

SOME OF THE RALLIES HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF HAND

BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME

THAT THEY HAVE TARGETED AN AMERICAN SERVICEMAN.

I DON'T NEED A BLOOD FEUD

BETWEEN OUR BOYS AND THE LOCALS.

IT COULD GET US KICKED OUT OF HERE ENTIRELY.

DO THE JAPANESE AUTHORITIES

HAVE ANY LEADS?

IF THEY DO, THEY'RE NOT SHARING.

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS CASE IS MORE ABOUT DAMAGE CONTROL

THAN FINDING A SUSPECT.

SO, WHILE I APPRECIATE

THE ADMIRAL SENDING ME HIS BEST AND BRIGHTEST

I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT HE EXPECTS YOU TO ACCOMPLISH.

WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON

TO SEE LIEUTENANT MASON ALIVE?

HIS SHIPMATE, LIEUTENANT VALKO

COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER ON THE U.S.S. DANIEL BOONE.

HAS ANYONE QUESTIONED HIM?

I HAD COMMANDER BROCKMAN FLOWN OUT TO THE DESTROYER.

FLOWN, SIR?

SHE WENT UNDERWAY YESTERDAY

TO PARTICIPATE

IN WAR GAME EXERCISES OFF NORTH KOREAN WATERS...

THE U.S. RESPONSE TO THEIR MOVE INTO THE D.M.Z.

I'LL WANT TO START THERE.

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT.

THERE'S A SEA HAWK PICKING UP MASON'S REPLACEMENT AT SASEBO

TOMORROW MORNING AT 0800.

YOU CAN HITCH A RIDE.

LIEUTENANT PIKE WILL ACCOMPANY YOU.

MY PARTNER, LIEUTENANT AUSTIN

WON'T BE ARRIVING UNTIL MID-MORNING.

CAN WE ARRANGE A HOP FOR HER, SIR?

CERTAINLY. CAPTAIN EVANS WOULD LOVE

TO ACCOMMODATE ALL THE LAWYERS

WE CARE TO SEND HIM.

DISMISSED.

COMMANDER, YOU MIGHT WANT TO PICK UP A UNIFORM.

HE SEES YOU IN THAT SHIRT

HE'S LIABLE TO THROW YOU OVERBOARD.

AYE, SIR.

WHAT, YOU DON'T LIKE IT EITHER?

I LIKE YOU BETTER IN UNIFORM.

SEE, THAT'S A MUCH BIGGER INCENTIVE TO CHANGE.

IS IT?

YEAH. YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD, KATE.

MUST BE THE TROPICAL WEATHER.

MMM. YES.

I HAVE BECOME AN EXPERT AT TURNING TEMPORARY ASSIGNMENTS

INTO SEMI-PERMANENT EXILE.

THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR DOING A GOOD JOB.

WHICH IS WHY YOU DON'T SEEM TO STAY IN ONE PLACE.

YOU GOT TO KEEP MOVING

OR PEOPLE WILL PULL YOU OFF OF AIRPLANES

ON YOUR WAY TO VACATION.

I AM MAKING IT UP TO YOU.

WE'RE TAKING A CRUISE.

YOU, ME, AND 300 SAILORS.

EVER DO A BLUE WATER LANDING

ON A DESTROYER BEFORE?

I MAKE IT A RULE

NEVER TO LAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN

WITHOUT A TAILHOOK.

HOLD ON, CHIEF.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

COMMANDER. LIEUTENANT.

YOU MUST BE

LIEUTENANT MASON'S REPLACEMENT.

LUCKY ME.

I GOT YANKED OFF OF R AND R IN HAWAII

TO JOIN THE FUN OUT HERE.

I'M LIEUTENANT COMMANDER RABB.

THIS IS LIEUTENANT PIKE.

WE'RE WITH JAG.

LIEUTENANT COMMANDER GINO CAMPISANO.

CAMPISANO?

MY FATHER WAS A GRUNT FROM BROOKLYN

WORKING RECON UP THE 38th PARALLEL.

MET MY MOTHER IN SEOUL.

ARE YOU LOOKING INTO MASON'S DEATH?

DID YOU KNOW HIM?

I TRAINED HIM MYSELF.

FOR WHAT, SIR?

ARES, THE GREEK GOD OF WAR...

A FULLY INTEGRATED NAVIGATION AND COMBAT SYSTEM

FOR ARLEIGH BURKE-CLASS DESTROYERS.

AND MASON WAS SUPPOSED

TO OPERATE IT DURING THE WAR GAMES?

THE TACTICAL POINT OF THE EXERCISE

IS TO TEST THE PROTOTYPE AT SEA.

THEY HAVE LIEUTENANT DONOVAN OUT THERE

BUT IT TAKES TWO MEN TO MONITOR THE SYSTEM.

SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD RUN ITSELF.

I TRIED THAT ARGUMENT.

CINC-PAC SENT ME ANYWAY.

Pike: IT'S ALWAYS NICE WHEN A SHIP APPEARS

JUST AS YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WE HAD THREE, FOUR MINUTES LEFT.

YOU WERE STARTING TO SWEAT.

WELL, JUST LIKE

THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

SIR.

PERMISSION TO COME ABOARD, SIR.

VERY WELL. AT EASE.

WELCOME ABOARD.

MR. CAMPISANO

THE WAR GAMES BEGIN IN LESS THAN TWO HOURS.

STOW YOUR GEAR AND REPORT TO THE BRIDGE.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

WHAT ABOUT ME?

I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THE CAPTAIN'S AVAILABLE.

THIS MUST HAVE HIT SOME

HOT BUTTONS IN WASHINGTON FOR THE ADMIRAL

TO SEND THE JAG POSTER BOY.

LIEUTENANT COMMANDER RABB

THIS IS COMMANDER BROCKMAN.

Pike: HAVE YOU QUESTIONED VALKO?

NOT YET.

WHY NOT, SIR?

I HAVEN'T BEEN ALLOWED ON THE BRIDGE.

WHAT ABOUT HIS ASSISTANT, LIEUTENANT DONOVAN?
