1
00:00:09,103 --> 00:00:10,727
Move it, polliwog!
2
00:00:10,896 --> 00:00:13,268
On your knees, polliwog!
3
00:00:13,690 --> 00:00:15,482
- Get down!
- On your knees!
4
00:00:15,651 --> 00:00:18,142
- Crawl forward! Crawl forward!
- On your knees. On your knees.
5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:19,483
On your knees. On your knees.
6
00:00:19,655 --> 00:00:21,232
- She won't move!
- Slime her!
7
00:00:21,406 --> 00:00:22,817
You like it, don't you?
8
00:00:22,991 --> 00:00:24,319
Get up!
9
00:00:26,452 --> 00:00:29,489
Keep going, polliwog!
10
00:00:30,165 --> 00:00:31,410
Go!
11
00:00:33,293 --> 00:00:35,581
On your knees. On your knees.
12
00:00:35,753 --> 00:00:37,295
Get down.
13
00:00:37,463 --> 00:00:40,037
Get your ass down. Get down.
14
00:00:43,803 --> 00:00:47,966
Release this polliwog
before the great Neptune.
15
00:00:52,437 --> 00:00:55,272
Who are you?
16
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,231
A trusty shellback, sir!
17
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,563
Take this daughter of Neptune
to the showers.
18
00:01:07,535 --> 00:01:10,026
Who are you?
19
00:01:10,204 --> 00:01:13,288
Lieutenant Marilyn Isaacs, sir.
20
00:01:15,543 --> 00:01:16,741
Silence.
21
00:01:16,919 --> 00:01:18,461
Stubborn maggot, aren't you?
22
00:01:19,755 --> 00:01:22,590
Take her to
the Tank of Truth and Wisdom.
23
00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:25,039
Come on.
24
00:01:25,218 --> 00:01:28,054
All right, maggot. You asked for it.
25
00:01:40,567 --> 00:01:41,812
Who are you?
26
00:01:43,945 --> 00:01:46,732
A trusty shellback, sir.
27
00:01:47,448 --> 00:01:49,357
Why didn't you say that
in the first place?
28
00:01:52,245 --> 00:01:55,032
- That a way, Skates.
- All right...
29
00:01:59,043 --> 00:02:00,703
Well, Marilyn,
how's it feel to be a member
30
00:02:00,878 --> 00:02:02,871
of the Ancient Order of the Deep?
31
00:02:15,225 --> 00:02:18,013
Following in his father's footsteps
as a naval aviator,
32
00:02:18,187 --> 00:02:20,263
Lieutenant Commander
Harmon Rabb, Jr.,
33
00:02:20,439 --> 00:02:22,597
suffered a crash while landing
his Tomcat
34
00:02:22,775 --> 00:02:25,396
on a storm-tossed carrier at sea.
35
00:02:25,569 --> 00:02:27,146
Diagnosed with night blindness,
36
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,322
Harm transferred to the Navy's
Judge Advocate General Corps,
37
00:02:30,491 --> 00:02:34,784
which investigates, defends
and prosecutes the law of the sea.
38
00:02:34,953 --> 00:02:37,788
There, with fellow JAG lawyer,
Major Sarah MacKenzie,
39
00:02:37,956 --> 00:02:40,115
he now fights in and out
of the courtroom
40
00:02:40,292 --> 00:02:45,997
with the same daring and tenacity
that made him a top gun in the air.
41
00:03:40,768 --> 00:03:44,219
The sexual harassment hotline
received her complaint last night.
42
00:03:44,396 --> 00:03:45,974
- Attention on deck.
- As you were.
43
00:03:46,148 --> 00:03:49,433
Lieutenant Marilyn Isaacs is an F-14
pilot stationed aboard the Seahawk.
44
00:03:51,027 --> 00:03:52,937
The incident occurred during
a Crossing the Line.
45
00:03:53,113 --> 00:03:54,857
I thought the Navy
was gonna deep six that?
46
00:03:55,032 --> 00:03:56,526
It's been toned down, major.
47
00:03:56,700 --> 00:04:00,151
Yeah, but it's still a great part
of Navy tradition.
48
00:04:00,328 --> 00:04:03,863
Something tells me Commander Rabb
had his day as a polliwog.
49
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,496
Well, the first time
I crossed the equator, I got hosed,
50
00:04:06,668 --> 00:04:10,582
I had to do maybe a thousand sit-ups,
I got dunked twice,
51
00:04:10,755 --> 00:04:14,539
and I had to crawl through the Tunnel
of Moral Courage blindfolded.
52
00:04:14,717 --> 00:04:16,378
What I wouldn't give
to have been there.
53
00:04:16,553 --> 00:04:19,222
As an observer, naturally.
54
00:04:19,389 --> 00:04:22,224
There's a complicating factor.
55
00:04:22,392 --> 00:04:24,717
The complaint was filed
against the Seahawk CAG.
56
00:04:25,144 --> 00:04:26,342
Tom Boone?
57
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,679
A CAG's got nothing
to do with Crossing the Line.
58
00:04:28,857 --> 00:04:31,264
Lieutenant Isaacs claims
that the ceremony is only part
59
00:04:31,442 --> 00:04:35,605
of a campaign of harassment
Captain Boone has waged against her.
60
00:04:36,906 --> 00:04:37,985
The timing's unfortunate.
61
00:04:38,157 --> 00:04:39,781
The Selection Board
has recommended Boone
62
00:04:39,950 --> 00:04:41,611
for a deep-draft command.
63
00:04:42,787 --> 00:04:45,028
Captain Boone
was my father's wingman in Vietnam.
64
00:04:45,206 --> 00:04:46,664
That's why I'm sending
you along, major.
65
00:04:46,832 --> 00:04:49,038
I expect an impartial enquiry
on both sides.
66
00:04:49,209 --> 00:04:52,709
Not that Commander Rabb
would be anything but objective.
67
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,585
The commander's known
for his dispassionate advocacy.
68
00:04:55,758 --> 00:04:58,379
I don't need to remind you
that the naval policy
69
00:04:58,552 --> 00:05:01,837
is zero tolerance
for sexual harassment.
70
00:05:12,148 --> 00:05:13,642
There she is.
71
00:05:15,610 --> 00:05:17,734
My first sea duty.
72
00:05:17,905 --> 00:05:20,574
Your only sea duty, Bud.
73
00:05:33,336 --> 00:05:35,127
All clear.
74
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,809
Lieutenant Commander Rabb?
75
00:05:53,981 --> 00:05:55,013
Ensign Harriet Sims.
76
00:05:55,191 --> 00:05:58,191
The skipper assigned me to be your
escort aboard the Seahawk, sir.
77
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,605
Thank you, ensign.
78
00:05:59,778 --> 00:06:02,696
I wonder if the skipper's aware
I'm aboard, sir.
79
00:06:03,365 --> 00:06:07,612
Lieutenant Roberts was the previous
public affairs officer on the Seahawk.
80
00:06:07,786 --> 00:06:09,826
Yes, sir. He's a legend, sir.
81
00:06:10,998 --> 00:06:12,326
If you'll stick to my six...
82
00:06:12,499 --> 00:06:14,491
That's what pilots
call their tail, ma'am.
83
00:06:15,168 --> 00:06:16,996
So I've been told.
84
00:06:47,325 --> 00:06:49,198
Let's go.
85
00:07:03,090 --> 00:07:06,506
Ensign Sims, I don't mean to question
your sense of direction,
86
00:07:06,677 --> 00:07:08,385
but the aft hatch?
87
00:07:08,554 --> 00:07:09,669
It's the quickest way, sir.
88
00:07:10,556 --> 00:07:12,679
The major here
is wearing high heels.
89
00:07:12,850 --> 00:07:15,886
And that might be a problem
on the knee-knockers on the 04 level.
90
00:07:16,061 --> 00:07:17,092
You remember those, sir?
91
00:07:17,271 --> 00:07:20,272
Seven ladders straight up
that top out just after the bridge?
92
00:07:20,441 --> 00:07:21,721
Good call, lieutenant.
93
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:23,276
I guess I've been at sea too long,
94
00:07:23,443 --> 00:07:25,400
I've forgot women
wear those darned things.
95
00:07:28,114 --> 00:07:29,145
Follow me.
96
00:07:30,075 --> 00:07:32,068
Commander Rabb.
97
00:07:32,494 --> 00:07:34,119
How's it feel to be back
in the real Navy?
98
00:07:34,579 --> 00:07:36,371
Pretty damn good, sir.
99
00:07:37,415 --> 00:07:39,372
Major MacKenzie, Captain Boone.
100
00:07:39,542 --> 00:07:40,573
Welcome aboard.
101
00:07:40,752 --> 00:07:42,081
A pleasure to be here, sir.
102
00:07:42,921 --> 00:07:44,415
Mr. Roberts,
you've made lieutenant.
103
00:07:44,923 --> 00:07:46,999
Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
104
00:07:47,175 --> 00:07:49,582
For what? I had nothing to do
with your promotion.
105
00:07:50,136 --> 00:07:51,796
For remembering me, sir.
106
00:07:51,971 --> 00:07:53,346
Well, you're a hard man to forget.
107
00:07:57,435 --> 00:08:00,519
I'd like to arrange a time
to take your statement, sir.
108
00:08:00,688 --> 00:08:03,095
Let me see if I understand
how this works, commander.
109
00:08:03,274 --> 00:08:05,730
One of my officers has a problem.
110
00:08:05,902 --> 00:08:07,894
But instead of coming to me
or the skipper,
111
00:08:08,071 --> 00:08:10,775
she calls a hotline
somewhere in Washington.
112
00:08:10,948 --> 00:08:13,521
And the next day, my selection
for command gets put on hold
113
00:08:13,701 --> 00:08:18,197
and a couple of JAG lawyers
fly 6000 miles to interrogate me.
114
00:08:18,373 --> 00:08:19,535
Is that about it?
115
00:08:19,707 --> 00:08:22,577
The Navy takes
sexual harassment seriously, sir.
116
00:08:23,294 --> 00:08:25,203
So do I, major.
117
00:08:25,921 --> 00:08:27,795
You know where to find me.
118
00:08:29,132 --> 00:08:30,212
Two things.
119
00:08:30,384 --> 00:08:32,673
First, you have my full cooperation.
120
00:08:32,845 --> 00:08:36,260
Second, no one will interfere
with the investigation,
121
00:08:36,431 --> 00:08:38,471
and that includes me.
122
00:08:38,642 --> 00:08:40,883
- I'm only interested in the truth.
- We all are, sir.
123
00:08:41,061 --> 00:08:43,018
And in case you didn't know,
124
00:08:43,188 --> 00:08:46,023
the CAG has grounded
Lieutenant Isaacs for unsafe flying.
125
00:08:46,191 --> 00:08:48,764
Was this before or after she filed
her complaint, sir?
126
00:08:48,944 --> 00:08:50,438
Two days before.
127
00:08:51,070 --> 00:08:53,823
She came in low,
tailhook hit the ramp.
128
00:08:53,991 --> 00:08:55,485
The CAG made a tough call.
129
00:08:55,659 --> 00:08:56,857
Tough on Lieutenant Isaacs, sir.
130
00:08:57,035 --> 00:08:59,870
The Navy has a clear duty
to give all of its pilots
131
00:09:00,038 --> 00:09:03,537
the best possible chance
to succeed, major.
132
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,705
It also has a duty to keep them alive.
133
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,545
Lieutenant Isaacs, your complaint
alleges that Captain Thomas Boone
134
00:09:12,717 --> 00:09:14,377
sexually harassed you?
135
00:09:14,552 --> 00:09:17,007
He was responsible. Yes, ma'am.
136
00:09:17,179 --> 00:09:20,181
When exactly
did this harassment occur?
137
00:09:21,392 --> 00:09:24,393
It was really a pattern
of harassment, ma'am.
138
00:09:24,562 --> 00:09:27,349
It culminated during
the Crossing the Line ceremony.
139
00:09:27,523 --> 00:09:28,981
Please describe what happened.
140
00:09:30,526 --> 00:09:33,100
I was touched inappropriately.
141
00:09:33,487 --> 00:09:36,737
All right, maggot. You asked for it.
142
00:09:37,282 --> 00:09:40,034
I was subjected to remarks
of a sexual nature.
143
00:09:40,202 --> 00:09:42,776
Get your ass into
the Tunnel of Moral Courage.
144
00:09:42,955 --> 00:09:45,410
Move it, polliwog. Move!
145
00:09:45,583 --> 00:09:47,789
I was assaulted with a pitchfork.
146
00:09:49,961 --> 00:09:52,120
Master Chief Sullivan forced me
147
00:09:52,297 --> 00:09:56,544
into a sexually compromising position
with another woman.
148
00:10:01,181 --> 00:10:02,212
It was...
149
00:10:02,390 --> 00:10:04,798
It was the most degrading moment
of my life.
150
00:10:04,976 --> 00:10:06,720
Your complaint is
filed against the CAG.
151
00:10:06,895 --> 00:10:09,766
Why not against Master Chief Sullivan
and the others?
152
00:10:10,315 --> 00:10:13,102
They were just going along,
doing what the CAG wanted.
153
00:10:13,276 --> 00:10:15,233
How can you be certain of that?
154
00:10:15,695 --> 00:10:17,023
When it was all over,
155
00:10:17,196 --> 00:10:20,233
the CAG congratulated Sullivan
for rubbing my nose in it.
156
00:10:20,408 --> 00:10:22,365
And why would the CAG
ask Master Chief Sullivan
157
00:10:22,535 --> 00:10:23,733
to give you a hard time?
158
00:10:25,580 --> 00:10:29,162
The CAG doesn't approve
of women in combat.
159
00:10:29,458 --> 00:10:32,910
So my failure would prove him right.
160
00:10:33,087 --> 00:10:35,922
It costs a million dollars
to train an F-14 pilot, lieutenant.
161
00:10:36,090 --> 00:10:38,925
Why would he wanna throw
that money away?
162
00:10:39,093 --> 00:10:40,919
I don't know.
163
00:10:41,094 --> 00:10:44,345
I wouldn't presume to guess
how his mind works.
164
00:10:44,515 --> 00:10:46,887
What exactly did he do, lieutenant?
165
00:10:47,059 --> 00:10:48,090
He told me that...
166
00:10:48,269 --> 00:10:50,344
That women don't have
the psychological hardness
167
00:10:50,521 --> 00:10:53,355
to handle night carrier landings.
168
00:10:53,773 --> 00:10:56,182
And one time, just before I went up,
169
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:01,105
he whispered in my ear
that he'd bet $20 that I'd wet my pants.
170
00:11:01,698 --> 00:11:04,533
So the Crossing the Line ceremony
was part of a larger pattern
171
00:11:04,701 --> 00:11:07,109
of sexual harassment
and discrimination
172
00:11:07,288 --> 00:11:09,659
by Captain Boone designed
to discredit you
173
00:11:09,831 --> 00:11:12,287
and have you removed
from flight status?
174
00:11:12,709 --> 00:11:16,789
Major, why don't we let the lieutenant
tell her story at her own pace?
175
00:11:18,549 --> 00:11:22,083
He knew that I was flying
a training mission the next day.
176
00:11:22,260 --> 00:11:24,798
So he got Master Chief Sullivan
to mess me up real good
177
00:11:24,971 --> 00:11:26,798
during the Crossing the Line
ceremony.
178
00:11:26,973 --> 00:11:29,973
And then my RIO screwed up,
so I had a poor landing.
179
00:11:31,311 --> 00:11:34,265
The CAG got what he wanted.
He removed me from flight status.
180
00:11:36,941 --> 00:11:38,400
Did the grounding have anything
to do
181
00:11:38,568 --> 00:11:40,893
with your filing a complaint
against the CAG?
182
00:11:41,070 --> 00:11:42,480
No, sir.
183
00:11:42,656 --> 00:11:44,897
Timing might indicate otherwise,
lieutenant.
184
00:11:45,074 --> 00:11:48,739
Look, this was not an easy decision
for me to make.
185
00:11:53,540 --> 00:11:56,162
I'd like to go back to
the Crossing the Line ceremony.
186
00:11:57,545 --> 00:12:00,545
Why didn't you just declare it
a red light and walk away?
187
00:12:00,714 --> 00:12:02,671
I wanted to.
188
00:12:02,966 --> 00:12:05,884
But they just...
They kept grabbing me.
189
00:12:06,052 --> 00:12:07,880
And they were touching me.
190
00:12:08,055 --> 00:12:10,178
Did you complain?
191
00:12:10,349 --> 00:12:12,176
The more I protested,
the more they just...
192
00:12:12,351 --> 00:12:14,308
They went after me.
193
00:12:16,104 --> 00:12:19,937
Then I just got scared
and I just went along with it.
194
00:12:46,217 --> 00:12:48,210
Monte Cristo.
195
00:12:48,803 --> 00:12:51,757
That would be
a violation of federal law.
196
00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:04,855
I'm gonna have to review
Lieutenant Isaac's training records
197
00:13:05,027 --> 00:13:07,019
and PLAT tapes.
198
00:13:08,531 --> 00:13:11,532
I'll make them available to you,
commander.
199
00:13:14,745 --> 00:13:17,948
If she was a man,
she still wouldn't be any damn good.
200
00:13:18,123 --> 00:13:21,160
If she was a man, she wouldn't
be filing charges against you.
201
00:13:21,335 --> 00:13:24,751
I'm not gonna lower the standards
just because she's a woman.
202
00:13:25,714 --> 00:13:27,920
You give her every chance?
203
00:13:30,260 --> 00:13:33,427
There's no learning curve
with this lieutenant. None.
204
00:13:33,597 --> 00:13:35,340
She blames other people
for her mistakes.
205
00:13:35,515 --> 00:13:39,264
The landing signal officer, her RIO.
206
00:13:40,645 --> 00:13:41,807
And you.
207
00:13:44,107 --> 00:13:45,518
Me.
208
00:13:46,359 --> 00:13:49,277
I just received a telephone call
from Admiral Drake.
209
00:13:49,446 --> 00:13:52,363
It seems Lieutenant Isaacs' complaint
has come to the attention
210
00:13:52,532 --> 00:13:54,441
of Congresswoman DeLong.
211
00:13:54,909 --> 00:13:57,697
At this point, it's only an internal hotline
investigation, sir.
212
00:13:57,871 --> 00:13:59,448
How does the congresswoman
know about it?
213
00:13:59,622 --> 00:14:03,121
Lieutenant Isaacs
is DeLong's constituent.
214
00:14:03,292 --> 00:14:05,332
The lieutenant's mother notified her.
215
00:14:05,503 --> 00:14:10,842
The congresswoman will arrive aboard
the Seahawk tomorrow at 0800.
216
00:14:11,008 --> 00:14:13,795
Talk about a broad interpretation
of constituent service.
217
00:14:13,969 --> 00:14:16,638
Admiral Drake authorized the visit.
218
00:14:16,805 --> 00:14:19,296
He doesn't want this to blow up
into another Tailhook.
219
00:14:19,475 --> 00:14:22,476
Congresswoman DeLong is one
of the Navy's severest critics.
220
00:14:22,645 --> 00:14:26,144
The congresswoman is pleased to
discover that one of the JAG lawyers
221
00:14:26,315 --> 00:14:29,102
investigating the complaint
is a woman.
222
00:14:29,609 --> 00:14:32,148
The congresswoman believes
that you will give Lieutenant Isaacs
223
00:14:32,321 --> 00:14:33,566
a fair hearing.
224
00:14:34,031 --> 00:14:35,905
I give everyone a fair hearing, sir.
225
00:14:36,075 --> 00:14:38,150
Including the CAG?
226
00:14:57,054 --> 00:14:59,627
State your name and rank
for the record, please.
227
00:14:59,806 --> 00:15:02,344
I'm Master Chief Petty Officer
Max Sullivan.
228
00:15:02,517 --> 00:15:04,509
Were you present during
the Crossing the Line ceremony
229
00:15:04,685 --> 00:15:06,512
aboard the Seahawk on April 1 st?
230
00:15:06,687 --> 00:15:08,930
I was Neptunus Rex himself.
231
00:15:09,107 --> 00:15:11,479
You have my congratulations,
master chief.
232
00:15:11,901 --> 00:15:14,357
Well, I know the honour just goes
to the oldest sailor,
233
00:15:14,529 --> 00:15:16,355
but I like to think
that I earned it, ma'am.
234
00:15:16,530 --> 00:15:18,689
Did you have any interaction
with Lieutenant Isaacs
235
00:15:18,866 --> 00:15:20,361
- during the ceremony?
- Yes, ma'am.
236
00:15:20,535 --> 00:15:24,200
Did you direct that she slow-dance
with Lieutenant Hawkes?
237
00:15:24,372 --> 00:15:25,534
Yes, ma'am. I did.
238
00:15:25,706 --> 00:15:28,707
They all had to.
That's part of the fun.
239
00:15:29,334 --> 00:15:31,909
Did you order Lieutenant Isaacs
dunked in an engine container
240
00:15:32,088 --> 00:15:33,416
filled with foul smelling water?
241
00:15:33,589 --> 00:15:36,792
Yes, the Tank of Truth and Wisdom.
Yes, ma'am, three times.
242
00:15:36,967 --> 00:15:38,545
And was that also part of the fun?
243
00:15:39,386 --> 00:15:41,841
The lieutenant had a little trouble
getting with the programme.
244
00:15:42,013 --> 00:15:44,386
Did you single her out
for any special abuse?
245
00:15:45,726 --> 00:15:48,051
No, sir. I did not.
She seemed to be enjoying herself,
246
00:15:48,228 --> 00:15:50,684
you know, like one of the guys.
247
00:15:50,856 --> 00:15:54,983
Am I to understand that guys
enjoy the Tank of Truth and Wisdom?
248
00:15:55,151 --> 00:15:58,069
Well, you enjoy the hell out of it
once it's over, ma'am,
249
00:15:58,238 --> 00:15:59,614
if you'll excuse my language.
250
00:15:59,781 --> 00:16:04,194
Well, master chief, Lieutenant Isaacs
didn't enjoy it during or afterwards.
251
00:16:05,578 --> 00:16:07,903
Did you treat her any differently
than the men, chief?
252
00:16:08,081 --> 00:16:10,240
Get your ass
into the Tunnel of Moral Courage!
253
00:16:10,417 --> 00:16:12,326
- On your knees!
- I did not.
254
00:16:12,502 --> 00:16:14,744
You piece of trash!
Don't look me in the eye!
255
00:16:14,921 --> 00:16:18,965
Master Chief Sullivan, did anybody
order you or request in any way
256
00:16:19,133 --> 00:16:21,755
that you give Lieutenant Isaacs
a hard time?
257
00:16:22,429 --> 00:16:23,460
No, sir.
258
00:16:23,638 --> 00:16:26,129
You never discussed the ceremony
with the CAG?
259
00:16:27,391 --> 00:16:28,589
No, ma'am.
260
00:16:29,769 --> 00:16:31,975
Did you talk to the CAG
after the ceremony?
261
00:16:32,939 --> 00:16:34,813
Oh, yes, yes.
He came and informed me
262
00:16:34,982 --> 00:16:37,058
that Area One had been named
the best in the fleet
263
00:16:37,235 --> 00:16:41,102
for raising our emergency barricade
in under two minutes.
264
00:16:48,037 --> 00:16:51,785
- That will be all, master chief.
- Sir, ma'am, if I may?
265
00:16:51,957 --> 00:16:54,744
The thing is, she didn't have
to go through that ceremony.
266
00:16:54,918 --> 00:16:56,793
She knew what she was getting into.
267
00:16:56,962 --> 00:16:59,038
Then why did she volunteer?
268
00:17:00,132 --> 00:17:05,588
Well, if she hadn't,
she'd look like a wuss, ma'am.
269
00:17:09,516 --> 00:17:12,470
There's something that you ought
to know. I think I can quote this.
270
00:17:12,644 --> 00:17:14,802
"A naval ceremony should follow
the long-established rules
271
00:17:14,980 --> 00:17:17,268
for its execution
carefully and exactly.
272
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:22,268
Such attention to detail honours
those men who established this ritual
273
00:17:22,446 --> 00:17:24,272
and all those past,
present and future,
274
00:17:24,447 --> 00:17:26,772
that will take part
in the same ceremony."
275
00:17:26,950 --> 00:17:29,238
- Fleet Admiral Chester A. Nimitz.
- Yes, sir.
276
00:17:29,410 --> 00:17:33,159
I don't think Admiral Nimitz was talking
about dumping Jell-O on women,
277
00:17:33,331 --> 00:17:34,991
or poking them with pitchforks.
278
00:17:35,708 --> 00:17:39,207
With all due respect, ma'am,
you just don't get it.
279
00:17:39,378 --> 00:17:41,620
Oh, I get it all too well, master chief.
280
00:17:41,797 --> 00:17:44,335
The world has changed
and you got left behind.
281
00:17:47,387 --> 00:17:50,471
Don't go too close to the edge.
You don't wanna fall over.
282
00:17:50,639 --> 00:17:52,299
I can swim.
283
00:17:52,474 --> 00:17:53,554
Not down there.
284
00:17:53,726 --> 00:17:55,848
The vortex sucks you under,
you go through the screws
285
00:17:56,019 --> 00:17:58,937
and you just come out
looking like Spam.
286
00:17:59,523 --> 00:18:01,895
What do you make
of Lieutenant Isaacs?
287
00:18:03,318 --> 00:18:05,358
She carries herself well.
288
00:18:05,529 --> 00:18:07,770
I like her attitude.
289
00:18:08,156 --> 00:18:09,865
I'd like her case a whole lot better
290
00:18:10,034 --> 00:18:13,153
if she'd filed a complaint
before she was grounded.
291
00:18:13,328 --> 00:18:16,364
We're talking 48 hours, Harm,
it takes time.
292
00:18:16,540 --> 00:18:19,113
How much time does it take
to figure out you had your six pinched?
293
00:18:19,542 --> 00:18:21,536
Time to weigh the consequences.
294
00:18:21,712 --> 00:18:24,333
She put her career on the line
by filing her complaint.
295
00:18:24,506 --> 00:18:27,626
CAG put his career on the line
by grounding her.
296
00:18:27,801 --> 00:18:29,046
I think she's got a case.
297
00:18:29,219 --> 00:18:32,089
Slow-dancing with another woman,
getting groped,
298
00:18:32,263 --> 00:18:34,256
poked with a pitchfork in the butt.
299
00:18:34,433 --> 00:18:37,469
Hell, when I crossed the equator,
I spent a half hour slow-dancing
300
00:18:37,644 --> 00:18:39,221
with Bob Fredericks.
301
00:18:39,395 --> 00:18:41,139
Did you date much afterwards?
302
00:18:43,232 --> 00:18:45,724
Detail, halt.
303
00:18:46,486 --> 00:18:49,356
Left face.
304
00:18:49,989 --> 00:18:53,192
Present arms.
305
00:18:54,243 --> 00:18:57,328
Order, hut.
306
00:19:00,249 --> 00:19:01,909
At ease.
307
00:19:02,585 --> 00:19:05,420
- I made a few notes, ensign.
- Notes, sir?
308
00:19:05,587 --> 00:19:07,414
Well, just because I've done
so many of these.
309
00:19:07,589 --> 00:19:09,962
The congressperson
will be piped aboard?
310
00:19:10,134 --> 00:19:11,297
As a matter of course, sir.
311
00:19:11,469 --> 00:19:13,129
I see you've arranged for side boys.
312
00:19:13,304 --> 00:19:15,925
Yes, sir. Six in all,
four male, two female.
313
00:19:16,765 --> 00:19:19,338
Female. That's a nice touch.
314
00:19:19,518 --> 00:19:23,101
Yes, sir. Everybody gets a chance.
315
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,895
The side boys will form their line
at the helicopter door.
316
00:19:27,067 --> 00:19:28,727
They'll salute on the first note
of the pipe
317
00:19:28,902 --> 00:19:30,313
and finish together on the last note.
318
00:19:30,487 --> 00:19:32,230
- Full honours?
- Full honours.
319
00:19:32,405 --> 00:19:35,691
Full honours.
Four ruffles and flourishes.
320
00:19:36,451 --> 00:19:38,278
You're doing a great job, Harriet.
321
00:19:38,453 --> 00:19:40,493
Thank you, sir.
322
00:19:41,289 --> 00:19:42,452
Have any more notes for me?
323
00:19:44,750 --> 00:19:49,212
I must have left them
somewhere else.
324
00:19:52,008 --> 00:19:55,293
The good old days are gone, Harm.
They ended with Tailhook.
325
00:19:55,469 --> 00:19:57,795
This is a new Navy with new rules.
326
00:19:57,973 --> 00:20:01,139
Hey, whatever may or may not have
happened during Crossing the Line,
327
00:20:01,309 --> 00:20:02,933
there's no evidence the CAG
was involved.
328
00:20:03,102 --> 00:20:04,644
Is that friendship talking?
329
00:20:04,812 --> 00:20:06,603
I wanna ask you something.
330
00:20:06,772 --> 00:20:08,563
Are you more likely to believe
Lieutenant Isaacs
331
00:20:08,732 --> 00:20:09,896
because she's a woman?
332
00:20:10,735 --> 00:20:13,024
I've had to fight a lot of prejudice
to get where I am, Harm.
333
00:20:13,196 --> 00:20:15,733
I guess that makes me wanna give her
the benefit of the doubt.
334
00:20:16,615 --> 00:20:18,655
Wait till you see this.
335
00:20:19,326 --> 00:20:21,200
It was a bad approach
from the beginning.
336
00:20:21,371 --> 00:20:25,071
She rolled out on final,
called the ball.
337
00:20:25,416 --> 00:20:27,159
Her approach lights
are below the crosshairs.
338
00:20:27,334 --> 00:20:28,959
So she's under the glide slope?
339
00:20:29,127 --> 00:20:32,128
Tomcat 204,
you are under glide slope.
340
00:20:32,297 --> 00:20:34,504
Look at her nose come up.
Now she's got too much power.
341
00:20:34,675 --> 00:20:36,964
She's flown right back up
through the glide path.
342
00:20:37,136 --> 00:20:39,294
To compensate,
she cuts back on the power.
343
00:20:39,471 --> 00:20:40,846
Wave off. Wave off.
344
00:20:41,014 --> 00:20:42,592
Ignores the wave off.
345
00:20:42,766 --> 00:20:45,054
A few feet lower,
she'd have had a ramp strike.
346
00:20:47,771 --> 00:20:50,060
Sir. Lieutenant Elizabeth Hawkes,
sir.
347
00:20:50,232 --> 00:20:51,690
The CAG asked me
to give you these.
348
00:20:51,858 --> 00:20:53,685
I'm Major MacKenzie, JAG Corps.
349
00:20:53,860 --> 00:20:55,733
Everyone onboard knows
who you are, ma'am.
350
00:20:56,362 --> 00:20:58,106
I'd be interested in hearing
why you took part
351
00:20:58,282 --> 00:20:59,824
in the Crossing the Line ceremony.
352
00:21:00,575 --> 00:21:02,034
The same reason
all the women were.
353
00:21:02,202 --> 00:21:03,696
It's important to be one of the guys.
354
00:21:03,870 --> 00:21:05,779
Were you improperly touched,
spoken to lewdly
355
00:21:05,955 --> 00:21:07,366
or otherwise sexually harassed?
356
00:21:07,999 --> 00:21:10,206
- Not so that I noticed.
- Don't feel you were singled out
357
00:21:10,377 --> 00:21:12,416
- because of your sex?
- No, sir.
358
00:21:12,587 --> 00:21:14,579
Even when forced to dance
with Lieutenant Isaacs?
359
00:21:14,756 --> 00:21:18,041
The only problem
was we both wanted to lead.
360
00:21:18,676 --> 00:21:21,213
They treated everyone pretty bad.
361
00:21:21,638 --> 00:21:23,048
Let me ask a hypothetical question.
362
00:21:23,223 --> 00:21:25,298
What would you have done
if someone had grabbed you?
363
00:21:25,475 --> 00:21:27,716
A woman who can't handle some jerk
playing grab-ass
364
00:21:27,893 --> 00:21:29,518
doesn't belong in the Navy, ma'am.
365
00:21:30,062 --> 00:21:32,220
- Thank you, lieutenant.
- Skates, ma'am.
366
00:21:32,397 --> 00:21:34,723
- That's what they all call me.
- Skates?
367
00:21:34,901 --> 00:21:36,893
Because I grew up on wheels.
368
00:21:37,069 --> 00:21:39,856
Permission to speak freely,
ma'am? Sir?
369
00:21:42,074 --> 00:21:43,402
For a woman to be one of the guys,
370
00:21:43,575 --> 00:21:47,573
well, sometimes she has to be willing
to give up something of herself.
371
00:21:47,746 --> 00:21:51,032
You know, be less of a woman.
372
00:21:51,708 --> 00:21:53,416
Sometimes it sucks.
373
00:21:58,924 --> 00:22:02,968
The question is why should she
have to be one of the guys?
374
00:22:18,276 --> 00:22:19,604
Permission to speak freely?
375
00:22:20,278 --> 00:22:22,401
The conversation's
still on record, lieutenant.
376
00:22:22,572 --> 00:22:24,363
I understand that, ma'am.
377
00:22:24,532 --> 00:22:26,074
I guess I'm a little bothered
by the fact
378
00:22:26,242 --> 00:22:29,112
you've been asking questions
behind my back.
379
00:22:29,829 --> 00:22:32,948
This is an investigation.
Asking questions is what we do.
380
00:22:33,665 --> 00:22:35,873
What exactly
did Lieutenant Hawkes say?
381
00:22:36,044 --> 00:22:38,451
All our investigations
are confidential, lieutenant.
382
00:22:38,629 --> 00:22:39,874
She's one of the senior RIOs.
383
00:22:40,047 --> 00:22:42,834
- Her word counts for a lot.
- What's your point?
384
00:22:43,467 --> 00:22:45,792
I think she resents the fact
that I'm a pilot
385
00:22:45,970 --> 00:22:47,713
and she has to sit in the back seat.
386
00:22:48,681 --> 00:22:50,804
I understand you're under
a lot of pressure, lieutenant,
387
00:22:50,975 --> 00:22:52,967
but this is not a productive line
of discourse.
388
00:22:54,770 --> 00:22:58,815
The main thing is I don't want to do
anything that'll hurt the Navy.
389
00:22:58,983 --> 00:23:01,224
I just want the same chance
as the others.
390
00:23:01,652 --> 00:23:03,644
We're in the preliminary stages
of our investigation.
391
00:23:03,820 --> 00:23:05,480
There's nothing anyone can do.
392
00:23:06,781 --> 00:23:08,690
What if I withdraw my complaint?
393
00:23:09,159 --> 00:23:11,199
You still have to go before
the Flight Review Board.
394
00:23:11,370 --> 00:23:13,908
They decide if the CAG
made the correct decision
395
00:23:14,081 --> 00:23:16,406
removing you from flight status.
396
00:23:16,666 --> 00:23:18,991
I've worked all my life to be a pilot.
397
00:23:19,168 --> 00:23:21,706
Flying off carriers is what I want.
398
00:23:21,879 --> 00:23:23,789
The CAG can make the Board
go away.
399
00:23:23,965 --> 00:23:25,673
You're asking to be returned
to flight status?
400
00:23:26,217 --> 00:23:27,249
Yes, sir.
401
00:23:27,677 --> 00:23:31,342
You're still a naval aviator, lieutenant,
subject to the Navy's rules.
402
00:23:31,514 --> 00:23:33,755
What I want is within the rules.
403
00:23:33,933 --> 00:23:35,344
I don't think so.
404
00:23:35,977 --> 00:23:39,310
Then maybe it's time
some of those rules got changed.
405
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:50,271
I hope this goes well.
406
00:23:50,449 --> 00:23:52,193
Oh, you've got it knocked, Harriet.
407
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,360
- Is something wrong?
- No, everything's fine.
408
00:23:55,537 --> 00:23:57,530
- I just thought...
- You look nice.
409
00:23:57,706 --> 00:24:00,032
I'm sorry. I did not mean that.
410
00:24:00,209 --> 00:24:01,489
So you don't think I look nice?
411
00:24:01,669 --> 00:24:04,835
Well, I just don't know
if it's appropriate to say.
412
00:24:05,005 --> 00:24:06,036
I outrank you
413
00:24:06,215 --> 00:24:08,884
and I may have inadvertently
uttered a yellow light remark.
414
00:24:09,050 --> 00:24:10,711
Do you have an ulterior motive,
lieutenant?
415
00:24:10,886 --> 00:24:14,136
No, I don't think I do.
416
00:24:14,306 --> 00:24:17,141
Then I'll choose to believe
you were sincere.
417
00:24:34,492 --> 00:24:36,984
Welcome aboard the Seahawk,
ma'am.
418
00:24:40,373 --> 00:24:42,116
Ensign.
419
00:24:43,417 --> 00:24:46,087
Present arms.
420
00:24:49,841 --> 00:24:51,750
Keep up the good work, ladies.
421
00:24:51,926 --> 00:24:54,132
- Order, hut.
- Order.
422
00:25:04,522 --> 00:25:06,181
Welcome to the Seahawk, ma'am.
423
00:25:07,900 --> 00:25:09,643
I can't tell you how good it feels
424
00:25:09,818 --> 00:25:12,773
to get out of Washington's
smoke-filled rooms.
425
00:25:12,947 --> 00:25:13,978
Captain Boone.
426
00:25:14,156 --> 00:25:16,279
Glad to have you with us, ma'am.
427
00:25:16,450 --> 00:25:19,486
Nice of you to say so,
all things considered.
428
00:25:22,455 --> 00:25:25,457
Our Ensign Sims will show you
to your quarters, ma'am.
429
00:25:25,626 --> 00:25:27,535
Thank you, captain.
430
00:25:28,295 --> 00:25:30,038
This way, ma'am.
431
00:25:33,133 --> 00:25:35,920
If I'm to be your advocate, Marilyn,
I need to know everything.
432
00:25:36,095 --> 00:25:37,921
No ugly surprises.
433
00:25:38,096 --> 00:25:40,338
I want nothing more
than to get it out in the open.
434
00:25:40,515 --> 00:25:44,050
You know how hard I fought
to widen the role of women in combat.
435
00:25:44,477 --> 00:25:47,811
The failure of even one woman
puts the entire programme at risk.
436
00:25:48,315 --> 00:25:50,106
I don't intend to fail, ma'am.
437
00:25:50,275 --> 00:25:52,148
I don't intend to let you.
438
00:25:53,027 --> 00:25:54,356
You're aware that Lieutenant Isaacs
439
00:25:54,529 --> 00:25:56,153
has filed a sexual
harassment complaint.
440
00:25:56,322 --> 00:25:57,816
Would you like to respond, sir?
441
00:25:57,990 --> 00:25:59,651
Her complaint's without merit.
442
00:25:59,826 --> 00:26:02,447
You have the right
to make a full statement, sir.
443
00:26:02,620 --> 00:26:04,945
I just did so, major.
444
00:26:06,332 --> 00:26:07,660
Did you deal with Lieutenant Isaacs
445
00:26:07,833 --> 00:26:09,991
as you did other aviators
under your command?
446
00:26:10,169 --> 00:26:12,495
I treat them all the same.
447
00:26:12,755 --> 00:26:16,800
Did you ever whisper in her ear
that she was gonna wet her pants, sir?
448
00:26:20,721 --> 00:26:21,966
I did not.
449
00:26:22,848 --> 00:26:25,339
Did you instruct Master Chief Sullivan
to cause Lieutenant Isaacs
450
00:26:25,518 --> 00:26:28,055
to be groped, poked with a pitchfork
and/or verbally abused
451
00:26:28,228 --> 00:26:30,137
during the Crossing the Line
ceremony?
452
00:26:30,314 --> 00:26:32,057
Now, why the hell would I do that?
453
00:26:32,232 --> 00:26:33,856
That's what we're here
to find out, sir.
454
00:26:34,943 --> 00:26:35,975
I did not.
455
00:26:37,947 --> 00:26:41,778
Captain Boone,
why did you ground Lieutenant Isaacs?
456
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,035
Because she was an accident
waiting to happen.
457
00:26:46,287 --> 00:26:48,826
This whole ship's
like a damn men's club.
458
00:26:48,999 --> 00:26:51,537
They knew exactly
what the CAG wanted.
459
00:26:51,710 --> 00:26:53,998
- They?
- His guys.
460
00:26:54,170 --> 00:26:57,456
The L.S.O., the air boss.
461
00:26:57,882 --> 00:27:01,750
When a male pilot messes up,
he gets spoken to privately.
462
00:27:01,928 --> 00:27:04,763
When I do something wrong,
they write up my grade,
463
00:27:04,931 --> 00:27:07,552
post it in the ready room
for everybody to laugh at.
464
00:27:07,725 --> 00:27:10,430
Come on, Marilyn,
they post everybody's grades.
465
00:27:10,603 --> 00:27:13,889
You give me something substantial
to work with.
466
00:27:14,149 --> 00:27:16,770
Okay. During a missile shoot,
467
00:27:16,943 --> 00:27:20,774
my RIO, radar intercept officer,
had trouble finding the drone.
468
00:27:20,946 --> 00:27:23,235
So I couldn't lock in on time.
469
00:27:23,408 --> 00:27:26,942
I fired the sidewinder
and the damned thing missed.
470
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,364
It's not my fault.
471
00:27:28,537 --> 00:27:30,364
But the CAG gives me
an unsatisfactory.
472
00:27:30,539 --> 00:27:33,244
Did he grade the other female pilots
the same way?
473
00:27:33,917 --> 00:27:35,875
All of us. Yes, ma'am.
474
00:27:37,421 --> 00:27:40,541
You are the only one
that's complained so far, Marilyn.
475
00:27:40,716 --> 00:27:43,467
I'm the only one who has the guts.
476
00:27:44,511 --> 00:27:46,254
She should never have been sent
to the ship.
477
00:27:46,429 --> 00:27:48,257
Because she's a woman, sir?
478
00:27:48,432 --> 00:27:50,175
Because she's a below-average
pilot.
479
00:27:50,351 --> 00:27:53,185
It took her three tries
to make her carrier qualifications.
480
00:27:53,353 --> 00:27:55,511
That's two more chances
than a man would get.
481
00:27:55,689 --> 00:27:58,773
If she had a shaky training record,
why was she moved through?
482
00:27:59,610 --> 00:28:01,104
There's a lot of pressure
from Washington
483
00:28:01,278 --> 00:28:03,270
to get women
into the front seat, major.
484
00:28:04,281 --> 00:28:05,312
During her tour,
485
00:28:05,490 --> 00:28:08,656
Lieutenant Isaacs progressed
from undistinguished to disastrous.
486
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:10,820
She's a total flop
at air combat manoeuvres.
487
00:28:10,995 --> 00:28:12,371
She never got a shot off.
488
00:28:12,789 --> 00:28:13,952
Who'd she blame that time?
489
00:28:14,416 --> 00:28:17,452
Commander Rabb,
please don't editorialize.
490
00:28:17,627 --> 00:28:20,118
The Seahawk controller for
not getting her into the right position.
491
00:28:20,296 --> 00:28:22,621
Claimed he put her
in front of the bogey?
492
00:28:24,050 --> 00:28:26,090
The truth is,
Lieutenant Smith had her.
493
00:28:26,261 --> 00:28:28,170
For the record,
who is Lieutenant Smith?
494
00:28:30,973 --> 00:28:34,472
That would be Lieutenant
Margaret Louise Smith.
495
00:28:36,604 --> 00:28:42,060
I was sexually humiliated and abused
in front of the entire crew.
496
00:28:43,027 --> 00:28:45,648
The CAG knew that it'd rattle me.
497
00:28:45,821 --> 00:28:48,443
I had a mission the next day
and I screwed up a little bit.
498
00:28:49,659 --> 00:28:52,232
Nothing serious,
but they made a big deal about it.
499
00:28:52,411 --> 00:28:55,246
You grounded Lieutenant Isaacs
after a substandard landing.
500
00:28:55,414 --> 00:28:58,331
The L.S.O. Log indicates...
501
00:28:59,501 --> 00:29:03,997
...OSCB EGAR DNKH.
502
00:29:04,173 --> 00:29:05,417
That's correct.
503
00:29:05,591 --> 00:29:08,164
Can you tell me
what those initials stand for, sir?
504
00:29:08,343 --> 00:29:10,501
OSCB. Overshot, came back.
505
00:29:10,678 --> 00:29:12,838
EGAR. Eased gun at ramp.
506
00:29:13,807 --> 00:29:16,974
What about "DNKH"?
507
00:29:17,394 --> 00:29:21,177
Well, that's the technical one, major.
508
00:29:21,356 --> 00:29:22,814
Damn near killed herself.
509
00:29:24,693 --> 00:29:27,100
You have no doubt that you made
the right decision, sir?
510
00:29:27,862 --> 00:29:31,196
Lieutenant Isaacs is a danger
to herself and to others.
511
00:29:31,366 --> 00:29:33,239
That's why I grounded her.
512
00:29:35,578 --> 00:29:37,156
Enter.
513
00:29:38,248 --> 00:29:40,074
Sir, the skipper requests
Commander Rabb
514
00:29:40,249 --> 00:29:42,242
and Major MacKenzie
in the ward room, sir.
515
00:29:42,418 --> 00:29:44,873
Very well. Dismissed.
516
00:29:59,893 --> 00:30:01,721
I spoke with Lieutenant Isaacs.
517
00:30:01,896 --> 00:30:03,094
I believe her.
518
00:30:03,272 --> 00:30:05,264
I'd be interested in knowing
what you think.
519
00:30:05,441 --> 00:30:07,433
The investigation
isn't complete yet, ma'am.
520
00:30:07,609 --> 00:30:10,729
We wanna make sure we have all
the facts before we render an opinion.
521
00:30:10,904 --> 00:30:13,396
You know I won't allow this
to be swept under the rug.
522
00:30:13,574 --> 00:30:16,112
We have no intention of doing that.
523
00:30:16,285 --> 00:30:18,657
Just one of the boys, major?
524
00:30:19,246 --> 00:30:22,531
Major MacKenzie has a high regard
for the truth, ma'am.
525
00:30:26,587 --> 00:30:28,045
- Forgive me, major.
- Good afternoon.
526
00:30:28,213 --> 00:30:30,502
As you were, commander.
Thank you for joining me.
527
00:30:30,674 --> 00:30:33,710
I want women to have equal
opportunity in the Armed Services.
528
00:30:33,885 --> 00:30:35,961
Yes, ma'am.
We should all have the same chance.
529
00:30:36,137 --> 00:30:40,965
I will not tolerate a culture of reprisal,
ostracism, harassment
530
00:30:41,142 --> 00:30:43,099
and retribution against women.
531
00:30:43,269 --> 00:30:46,186
Never forget that naval officers
like Captain Boone
532
00:30:46,355 --> 00:30:48,929
serve at the pleasure
of the government.
533
00:30:49,401 --> 00:30:51,808
It's a new day.
It's time he got a clue.
534
00:30:51,986 --> 00:30:54,394
Captain Boone served his country
in Vietnam, ma'am.
535
00:30:54,572 --> 00:30:57,110
He has a long
and distinguished record.
536
00:30:57,283 --> 00:30:59,358
In my opinion, commander,
537
00:30:59,535 --> 00:31:02,205
a man can have a long
and distinguished career
538
00:31:02,372 --> 00:31:03,534
and still be a pig.
539
00:31:04,457 --> 00:31:06,165
Excuse me, sir.
540
00:31:06,333 --> 00:31:09,251
I'd like to think
there's nothing I can't fix.
541
00:31:09,420 --> 00:31:11,708
And right now,
this Marilyn Isaacs situation
542
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,047
presents a major problem
for the future of women in combat.
543
00:31:15,551 --> 00:31:19,050
Well, ma'am, I think it's safe to say
that on that point we are in agreement.
544
00:31:20,764 --> 00:31:21,962
How tall are you?
545
00:31:23,433 --> 00:31:24,464
Excuse me?
546
00:31:25,311 --> 00:31:26,769
How would you feel if I told you
547
00:31:26,937 --> 00:31:29,938
you looked really cute
in that uniform?
548
00:31:30,107 --> 00:31:32,858
And you should dye your hair
platinum blond?
549
00:31:36,321 --> 00:31:37,566
Six-foot four.
550
00:31:37,740 --> 00:31:39,115
I'll give your regards to my tailor.
551
00:31:39,283 --> 00:31:42,236
And platinum really isn't my shade,
ma'am.
552
00:31:44,996 --> 00:31:47,487
Admiral Drake
called me earlier today.
553
00:31:47,665 --> 00:31:50,157
He understands that I'm trying
to find a middle way.
554
00:31:52,379 --> 00:31:56,293
She's totally willing to accept
responsibility for a poor landing.
555
00:31:57,008 --> 00:32:00,258
All that needs to happen
is that she's given another chance.
556
00:32:00,427 --> 00:32:02,220
That's not my call, ma'am.
557
00:32:02,389 --> 00:32:04,346
She was grounded
for good reason, ma'am.
558
00:32:04,515 --> 00:32:07,350
You're a lawyer, commander.
That's not your call.
559
00:32:07,518 --> 00:32:09,843
Commander Rabb flew F-14s
off the Seahawk.
560
00:32:10,020 --> 00:32:13,686
Wasn't your RIO killed
in a crash, commander?
561
00:32:15,359 --> 00:32:18,526
Perhaps you're not the one
to pass judgement.
562
00:32:26,037 --> 00:32:27,412
What do you think, lieutenant?
563
00:32:27,580 --> 00:32:29,371
About what, Harriet?
564
00:32:29,540 --> 00:32:30,998
How do you think it went today?
565
00:32:32,042 --> 00:32:33,785
Excellent.
566
00:32:34,252 --> 00:32:35,663
Great.
567
00:32:36,212 --> 00:32:38,585
There is one thing though.
568
00:32:38,757 --> 00:32:40,216
Yes?
569
00:32:41,552 --> 00:32:43,710
- May I?
- May you what?
570
00:32:43,887 --> 00:32:45,678
Well, your insignia is...
571
00:32:46,431 --> 00:32:47,890
I don't know if that's a red light.
572
00:32:48,308 --> 00:32:49,719
Straightening my insignia?
573
00:32:50,435 --> 00:32:52,724
It's so hard to know what appropriate
behaviour is sometimes.
574
00:32:52,896 --> 00:32:56,893
- You know, red light, green light.
- Just straighten the damn thing, sir.
575
00:33:06,951 --> 00:33:07,982
Thank you.
576
00:33:13,917 --> 00:33:15,993
You wanted to see me, skipper?
577
00:33:16,502 --> 00:33:20,416
I want Lieutenant Isaacs
on tonight's intercept mission.
578
00:33:22,758 --> 00:33:25,760
The Flight Review Board
hasn't cleared her to fly.
579
00:33:25,929 --> 00:33:28,336
Well, that's yesterday's news, Tom.
580
00:33:28,514 --> 00:33:30,590
The congresswoman
called Admiral Drake.
581
00:33:30,766 --> 00:33:35,178
The admiral wants Lieutenant Isaacs
returned to flight status.
582
00:33:36,146 --> 00:33:37,771
They're jumping the gun on this,
admiral.
583
00:33:37,940 --> 00:33:40,941
I suggest you tell them to hold off
on any formal action
584
00:33:41,110 --> 00:33:44,561
until our investigation
is complete and...
585
00:33:48,617 --> 00:33:51,108
Yes, sir. I'll wait right here.
586
00:33:56,958 --> 00:33:58,239
Attention on deck.
587
00:33:58,418 --> 00:34:00,956
- Carry on.
- Aye, sir.
588
00:34:02,005 --> 00:34:03,500
You miss it?
589
00:34:03,674 --> 00:34:07,042
Sometimes. Never at night.
590
00:34:12,265 --> 00:34:13,808
Excuse me, sir.
591
00:34:13,976 --> 00:34:16,680
Flight schedule
for tonight's intercept mission.
592
00:34:16,853 --> 00:34:21,431
Since I first typed it, Lieutenant Isaacs'
RIO has changed twice.
593
00:34:21,607 --> 00:34:23,979
A sudden outbreak of flu, sir.
594
00:34:28,281 --> 00:34:30,155
"Traulson."
595
00:34:30,533 --> 00:34:33,487
Traulson just came aboard
a week ago.
596
00:34:33,994 --> 00:34:36,746
They got my least experienced RIO
flying with Isaacs.
597
00:34:37,999 --> 00:34:39,197
Get me Lieutenant Hawkes.
598
00:34:39,375 --> 00:34:40,490
Yes, sir.
599
00:34:47,633 --> 00:34:50,420
I'm gonna have to resign
my commission.
600
00:34:51,345 --> 00:34:54,014
Oh, hell, CAG. There's no reason
to fall on your sword.
601
00:34:54,181 --> 00:34:56,138
We've got a United States
congressperson
602
00:34:56,308 --> 00:34:59,344
telling me how to run my air wing,
and it ain't part of my job to please her.
603
00:34:59,519 --> 00:35:01,678
The Navy can't afford
to lose good officers like you, CAG.
604
00:35:01,856 --> 00:35:03,599
But we've got to draw
the line somewhere, Harm.
605
00:35:03,774 --> 00:35:06,016
This seems like
it might be the right place.
606
00:35:06,652 --> 00:35:08,609
You sent for me, sir?
607
00:35:13,283 --> 00:35:16,201
I need you to fly with Isaacs tonight.
608
00:35:16,370 --> 00:35:18,077
Sir, may I be very blunt with you?
609
00:35:19,581 --> 00:35:21,289
I wouldn't expect anything less.
610
00:35:22,125 --> 00:35:23,535
With the weather forecast
for tonight,
611
00:35:23,710 --> 00:35:25,453
there's gonna be a fair amount
of deck movement
612
00:35:25,628 --> 00:35:27,538
and night landings
aren't her best thing, sir.
613
00:35:28,715 --> 00:35:30,542
That's why I need my best RIO
in the back seat.
614
00:35:36,013 --> 00:35:37,555
I won't forget this, Skates.
615
00:35:37,723 --> 00:35:39,218
Won't let you, sir.
616
00:36:05,167 --> 00:36:06,246
Flaps down.
617
00:36:06,418 --> 00:36:07,533
Flaps down.
618
00:36:07,711 --> 00:36:11,044
- Wing sweep automatic.
- Wing sweep automatic.
619
00:36:16,428 --> 00:36:19,049
Raptor 204 up and ready.
620
00:36:19,222 --> 00:36:21,796
Now there's a woman
who's ready to go to war.
621
00:36:21,975 --> 00:36:23,303
Only one problem, ma'am.
622
00:36:23,476 --> 00:36:24,805
The catapult gets her off the deck,
623
00:36:24,978 --> 00:36:27,018
but she has to get back on
all by herself.
624
00:36:27,189 --> 00:36:29,514
Why not just say
what's on your mind, commander?
625
00:36:29,691 --> 00:36:31,434
You had no business
getting Lieutenant Isaacs
626
00:36:31,610 --> 00:36:32,772
put back in the aircraft.
627
00:36:32,944 --> 00:36:34,355
- Mr. Rabb.
- Captain.
628
00:36:34,529 --> 00:36:36,355
I'd like to hear what he has to say.
629
00:36:36,531 --> 00:36:38,987
You helped to manipulate the system
to get what she wanted.
630
00:36:39,159 --> 00:36:40,701
That's enough.
631
00:36:40,869 --> 00:36:44,119
I'll see you in my at-sea cabin
immediately after the mission.
632
00:36:44,289 --> 00:36:45,948
Aye, sir.
633
00:36:51,796 --> 00:36:53,207
Looks like we're going flying.
634
00:37:22,492 --> 00:37:26,075
Okay, Raptor 204, let's bump heads.
635
00:37:26,497 --> 00:37:28,822
204, roger.
636
00:37:28,999 --> 00:37:30,327
I'm gonna have his ass.
637
00:37:46,015 --> 00:37:50,844
Raptor 204, intercept an
unidentified bogey. Inbound.
638
00:37:51,021 --> 00:37:52,266
Bearing 120.
639
00:37:52,439 --> 00:37:54,478
204, roger that.
640
00:37:57,860 --> 00:38:00,814
Come on, take it easy, Marilyn.
You're flying into a black hole.
641
00:38:00,988 --> 00:38:03,195
It's okay, Skates, I got it.
642
00:38:03,783 --> 00:38:07,199
I've got contact, bearing 020.
643
00:38:07,370 --> 00:38:08,864
CAG's inbound.
644
00:38:09,038 --> 00:38:12,074
That's Isaac diving towards the deck.
She's closing in at 1300 knots.
645
00:38:12,249 --> 00:38:13,874
That's a mile every three seconds.
646
00:38:14,042 --> 00:38:17,163
That gives her a two-second window
to fire a missile.
647
00:38:17,338 --> 00:38:19,330
Fifteen miles. Switch to missiles.
648
00:38:20,049 --> 00:38:21,377
Going to missiles.
649
00:38:23,218 --> 00:38:24,333
She's diving too steep.
650
00:38:26,388 --> 00:38:28,844
- Careful. We're getting low.
- I'm watching it.
651
00:38:35,147 --> 00:38:36,890
She missed big time. Too wide.
652
00:38:37,065 --> 00:38:38,857
She'll have to pull
a seven G turn to convert.
653
00:38:39,026 --> 00:38:40,769
She's not gonna make it.
654
00:38:42,404 --> 00:38:44,776
The wind shifted. Sea's picking up.
655
00:38:46,324 --> 00:38:49,360
Contact, 50 degrees left.
Five miles, opposite direction.
656
00:38:49,536 --> 00:38:51,576
- Break hard left.
- Burner now.
657
00:38:52,664 --> 00:38:54,123
Keep it coming.
658
00:38:55,333 --> 00:38:57,871
Good turn. Overtake, 50 knots.
659
00:38:59,545 --> 00:39:01,372
Bogey on our six, CAG.
660
00:39:02,173 --> 00:39:03,372
Okay, good.
661
00:39:03,550 --> 00:39:05,092
Oh, that was a big-time move.
662
00:39:05,260 --> 00:39:07,051
She just made that intercept.
663
00:39:07,220 --> 00:39:09,343
Looks like you spoke too soon,
commander.
664
00:39:11,432 --> 00:39:12,595
Locking on.
665
00:39:14,768 --> 00:39:16,429
You've got a good tone.
666
00:39:16,604 --> 00:39:17,885
Fox away.
667
00:39:18,815 --> 00:39:20,475
Missile fired.
668
00:39:24,194 --> 00:39:25,274
She missed.
669
00:39:25,446 --> 00:39:26,560
That was a nine G turn.
670
00:39:26,738 --> 00:39:28,779
Only the CAG could
make a move like that.
671
00:39:31,452 --> 00:39:33,361
Good try, 204.
672
00:39:36,039 --> 00:39:37,498
Shoot.
673
00:39:38,875 --> 00:39:40,501
Sir, the squall's moving through.
674
00:39:40,670 --> 00:39:43,456
Penetrating in 15 minutes.
675
00:39:47,175 --> 00:39:49,334
Time to bring them back.
676
00:39:54,141 --> 00:39:56,762
Raptor 206,
we're still ready to play.
677
00:39:57,352 --> 00:39:58,977
Let's go home, Marilyn.
678
00:39:59,145 --> 00:40:01,102
That's a negative, 204.
We got weather.
679
00:40:01,523 --> 00:40:04,145
You did good. Let's call it a night.
680
00:40:06,945 --> 00:40:09,436
Wilco. Out.
681
00:40:10,281 --> 00:40:12,772
We have plenty of fuel.
We could have made another pass.
682
00:40:12,950 --> 00:40:15,442
- Her mike is keyed open.
- Then I would have nailed his six.
683
00:40:15,620 --> 00:40:16,700
Settle down, Marilyn.
684
00:40:16,872 --> 00:40:19,872
You don't wanna take a chance
in this weather.
685
00:40:27,340 --> 00:40:30,756
Skipper, permission to go
onto the L.S.O. Platform?
686
00:40:31,177 --> 00:40:33,750
I don't believe you'll be missed.
687
00:40:33,930 --> 00:40:35,673
Aye-aye, sir.
688
00:40:36,140 --> 00:40:40,470
Tomcat 206, you're a quarter mile out.
Say your fuel.
689
00:40:45,900 --> 00:40:48,770
Seahawk, Raptor 206
commencing approach.
690
00:40:49,611 --> 00:40:53,859
Roger, 206, you are cleared
for landing.
691
00:40:54,867 --> 00:40:56,409
Sir.
692
00:41:01,122 --> 00:41:03,115
CAG's back.
693
00:41:17,806 --> 00:41:21,009
Raptor 204,
you are cleared for landing.
694
00:41:21,184 --> 00:41:24,600
Seahawk, this is Raptor 204
commencing approach.
695
00:41:25,146 --> 00:41:27,269
Hey, Skates, watch us spike it on.
696
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,729
I'll settle for just getting aboard,
Marilyn.
697
00:41:29,901 --> 00:41:31,561
Flaps down.
698
00:41:32,195 --> 00:41:33,855
Gear down.
699
00:41:35,573 --> 00:41:37,067
Wing sweep automatic.
700
00:41:37,241 --> 00:41:38,735
Put the hook down.
701
00:41:38,909 --> 00:41:40,570
Get your hook down, Marilyn.
702
00:41:42,664 --> 00:41:43,743
Hook down.
703
00:41:47,543 --> 00:41:49,334
Selecting command ejection,
rear seat.
704
00:41:49,503 --> 00:41:52,505
Raptor 204,
you are at a mile and three quarters
705
00:41:52,674 --> 00:41:54,796
well below glide slope.
706
00:41:54,967 --> 00:41:56,212
Check ball.
707
00:41:56,635 --> 00:41:57,833
I have the ball.
708
00:42:00,889 --> 00:42:03,462
This is Raptor 204 Tomcat.
709
00:42:03,642 --> 00:42:06,216
Ball, 3.5.
710
00:42:06,395 --> 00:42:09,515
Roger, ball. Pitching deck.
You're low.
711
00:42:10,107 --> 00:42:11,352
You're still low.
712
00:42:11,525 --> 00:42:13,102
Give me some attitude.
713
00:42:13,276 --> 00:42:15,982
You're still under glide path.
714
00:42:16,155 --> 00:42:19,072
Come on, Isaacs,
get back on the glide slope.
715
00:42:23,745 --> 00:42:26,283
Don't go high. Don't go high.
716
00:42:28,917 --> 00:42:31,788
Automatic throttle is screwing us up.
717
00:42:32,629 --> 00:42:33,660
I'm flying manual.
718
00:42:36,883 --> 00:42:38,163
The power's come off!
719
00:42:38,342 --> 00:42:41,012
Attitude. Attitude.
720
00:42:41,179 --> 00:42:44,299
Power. Power. Power.
721
00:42:45,266 --> 00:42:46,808
Hit the deck!
722
00:42:46,976 --> 00:42:48,007
Ejecting!
723
00:42:53,108 --> 00:42:54,566
Fire on the deck.
724
00:43:09,206 --> 00:43:11,495
She's falling into the fire.
725
00:43:13,418 --> 00:43:14,996
Yellow team is on its way.
726
00:43:15,170 --> 00:43:18,836
Corpsmen on standby!
Corpsmen on standby!
727
00:43:19,008 --> 00:43:21,130
Let's get her out of there!
728
00:43:22,219 --> 00:43:23,678
She's drifting over the side!
729
00:43:31,019 --> 00:43:32,348
Where's Harm?
730
00:44:47,636 --> 00:44:49,178
How you doing, Skates?
731
00:44:49,846 --> 00:44:51,719
You owe me, sir.
732
00:45:30,344 --> 00:45:31,459
I guess you'll be leaving now?
733
00:45:31,637 --> 00:45:33,012
Soon, but we still need to complete
734
00:45:33,180 --> 00:45:35,256
the investigation
of the harassment complaint.
735
00:45:35,432 --> 00:45:36,974
So the CAG's not out
of the woods yet?
736
00:45:37,142 --> 00:45:38,423
Well, not yet.
737
00:45:38,602 --> 00:45:41,224
Something like this,
it's like getting gum on your shoe.
738
00:45:43,149 --> 00:45:46,564
What JAG lawyers do is so exciting.
739
00:45:46,735 --> 00:45:48,313
I'm not a lawyer yet.
740
00:45:48,487 --> 00:45:50,194
I know.
741
00:45:50,363 --> 00:45:52,403
But you're gonna be a great one.
742
00:45:55,994 --> 00:45:57,738
I want you to kiss me.
743
00:45:58,997 --> 00:46:00,160
Green light?
744
00:46:11,718 --> 00:46:14,671
I just had a scary thought.
745
00:46:15,012 --> 00:46:17,052
Their children?
