1
00:00:01,373 --> 00:00:03,204
In the criminal
justice system,
2
00:00:03,275 --> 00:00:07,075
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups:
3
00:00:07,146 --> 00:00:09,011
The police
who investigate crime...
4
00:00:09,081 --> 00:00:11,777
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,850 --> 00:00:13,511
These are their stories.
6
00:01:00,798 --> 00:01:03,130
Sailors. I'd be happier
with the Hell's Angels.
7
00:01:03,201 --> 00:01:05,032
Three months
floating on a tin can.
8
00:01:05,102 --> 00:01:06,160
What do you expect?
9
00:01:06,237 --> 00:01:08,501
I don't expect to end up
looking like the Baghdad Hilton.
10
00:01:08,573 --> 00:01:09,938
I want 'em out.
11
00:01:11,776 --> 00:01:13,368
Everybody out!
12
00:01:13,478 --> 00:01:14,467
Let's go!
13
00:01:16,013 --> 00:01:19,073
Let's go. The party's over.
You, out of here!
14
00:01:19,150 --> 00:01:20,481
The party's over.
15
00:01:20,551 --> 00:01:23,543
Let's go! Come on.
Out! Out! Out!
16
00:01:23,621 --> 00:01:25,179
Get out of here.
In here.
17
00:01:25,256 --> 00:01:26,848
Come on. On your feet!
18
00:01:26,924 --> 00:01:29,119
On your feet, sailor.
Party's over.
19
00:01:29,193 --> 00:01:31,821
Let's go! On your feet.
20
00:01:31,896 --> 00:01:34,456
Party's over. Out of here.
Out of the room!
21
00:01:34,732 --> 00:01:35,960
You, move it!
22
00:01:36,033 --> 00:01:37,193
It's locked.
23
00:01:38,836 --> 00:01:41,930
Let's go, sailor.
Come on. Out!
24
00:01:42,006 --> 00:01:44,200
Come on! Let's go.
25
00:01:44,274 --> 00:01:46,299
Come on, miss. Let's go.
26
00:01:50,447 --> 00:01:52,972
Hey, sweetheart, let's go.
Hey!
27
00:02:05,328 --> 00:02:08,229
This is section Able,
2229 Eighth.
28
00:02:08,298 --> 00:02:10,163
We've got a 10-10, DOA.
29
00:02:11,535 --> 00:02:14,231
Fresh kill,
two hours at the most.
30
00:02:14,304 --> 00:02:17,296
Contusions to the right arm
and shoulder.
31
00:02:17,541 --> 00:02:19,509
Hello. Major swelling.
32
00:02:19,576 --> 00:02:21,510
Possible blunt
force concussion.
33
00:02:21,578 --> 00:02:23,546
She didn't get that
playing spin the bottle.
34
00:02:23,613 --> 00:02:24,944
Let's roll her over.
35
00:02:25,015 --> 00:02:28,075
Hey, guys, someone wanna
work the headboard, please?
36
00:02:28,151 --> 00:02:31,143
Couple of Scotches,
couple of dozen women...
37
00:02:31,488 --> 00:02:33,388
Pretty soon
everybody's a Kennedy,
38
00:02:33,456 --> 00:02:34,718
and I don't mean Bobby.
39
00:02:34,791 --> 00:02:36,019
She part of it?
40
00:02:36,092 --> 00:02:38,060
Anything with a bounce
is fair game.
41
00:02:38,128 --> 00:02:40,460
Give your name to the sergeant
in case we need you later.
42
00:02:40,530 --> 00:02:44,330
We're holding 19 sailors and
five of their dates next door.
43
00:02:44,401 --> 00:02:47,097
All right. Hose them down with
coffee until we're ready for them.
44
00:02:47,170 --> 00:02:50,003
Cooper, Cooper,
one item per bag.
45
00:02:50,073 --> 00:02:51,972
Please go get some more bags.
46
00:02:52,041 --> 00:02:55,374
It didn't get out of hand until
they brought the prostitutes in.
47
00:02:55,444 --> 00:02:56,502
They brought 'em in?
48
00:02:56,579 --> 00:02:58,547
I thought they were
on the room service menu.
49
00:02:58,614 --> 00:03:00,775
C'mon, we don't run that kind
of an establishment.
50
00:03:00,849 --> 00:03:01,873
To my knowledge,
51
00:03:01,951 --> 00:03:05,011
we've never had a hooker set foot
in here, let alone die in our beds.
52
00:03:05,087 --> 00:03:07,453
A hooker with dog tags?
53
00:03:09,024 --> 00:03:12,926
"Janet Tracy Hagen.
United States Navy."
54
00:03:14,163 --> 00:03:15,994
Make that Lt. Hagen.
55
00:03:16,398 --> 00:03:19,663
The nametag.
This lady was an officer.
56
00:04:45,119 --> 00:04:47,519
19 sailors, 19 pairs of eyes,
57
00:04:47,588 --> 00:04:49,453
but no one remembers
seeing Hagen.
58
00:04:49,524 --> 00:04:52,049
They had something
more memorable to look at.
59
00:04:52,126 --> 00:04:55,027
They'll be more forthcoming
once we talk to them.
60
00:04:55,096 --> 00:04:58,759
I prepared a list of all the
officers assigned to the McKinley.
61
00:04:59,167 --> 00:05:02,136
Was the party by
invitation only, Lieutenant?
62
00:05:02,203 --> 00:05:04,433
Anyone above the rank
of chief petty officer.
63
00:05:04,505 --> 00:05:07,302
We might wanna
check their service records.
64
00:05:07,407 --> 00:05:10,501
We'll make them available.
But when the smoke clears,
65
00:05:10,577 --> 00:05:12,636
it's probably exactly
what it appears.
66
00:05:12,713 --> 00:05:14,112
Lt. Hagen got drunk.
67
00:05:14,181 --> 00:05:15,876
She stumbled, hit her head.
68
00:05:17,017 --> 00:05:18,450
A tragic accident.
69
00:05:20,554 --> 00:05:23,045
Captain, thank you.
Gentlemen.
70
00:05:30,864 --> 00:05:32,422
Yeah, right.
71
00:05:32,499 --> 00:05:34,057
She takes a header on the bed,
72
00:05:34,134 --> 00:05:36,227
and her panties end up
around her ankles.
73
00:05:36,303 --> 00:05:37,827
Knee-jerk damage control.
74
00:05:37,904 --> 00:05:41,169
With a dead officer on my
hands, I might do the same.
75
00:05:41,241 --> 00:05:42,640
The room she was in...
76
00:05:42,709 --> 00:05:44,108
any name
on the reservation slip?
77
00:05:44,177 --> 00:05:46,702
The whole floor was charged
to the Officers' Mess Fund.
78
00:05:46,780 --> 00:05:49,749
Nice to know my tax dollars
aren't being wasted on schoolbooks.
79
00:05:49,816 --> 00:05:51,408
Her shoes were found
in the hall?
80
00:05:51,485 --> 00:05:54,977
Yeah, the boys had a grope
gauntlet for the hula girls.
81
00:05:55,055 --> 00:05:56,647
It takes a special kind
of touching
82
00:05:56,723 --> 00:05:58,691
to come up
with bruises like these.
83
00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:00,317
You sure we're not
lookir at a rape?
84
00:06:00,393 --> 00:06:01,985
No word from the ME.
85
00:06:02,062 --> 00:06:04,326
Well, what are we waitir for?
86
00:06:05,699 --> 00:06:07,462
The rape kit
came back negative.
87
00:06:07,534 --> 00:06:10,560
There were slight vaginal
abrasions, but nothing conclusive.
88
00:06:10,637 --> 00:06:12,763
Tells me somebody did more
than hold hands with her.
89
00:06:12,838 --> 00:06:15,033
Well, unfortunately,
she got a headache.
90
00:06:15,107 --> 00:06:17,905
Skull fracture.
Brain hemorrhage.
91
00:06:17,977 --> 00:06:20,377
Vomit indicates that
she did not go quickly.
92
00:06:20,446 --> 00:06:21,879
Any idea what she hit?
93
00:06:21,947 --> 00:06:23,539
Uh, something flat and solid.
94
00:06:23,616 --> 00:06:25,277
A wall or a headboard.
95
00:06:25,351 --> 00:06:27,046
It left abrasions on the skin.
96
00:06:27,119 --> 00:06:28,677
No external bleeding.
97
00:06:28,754 --> 00:06:29,743
Hmm.
98
00:06:30,122 --> 00:06:32,283
A couple of drunks on a bed
with hot pants,
99
00:06:32,358 --> 00:06:35,816
one of them cracks her skull on the
headboard. We shouldn't be so surprised.
100
00:06:35,895 --> 00:06:38,193
Hagen get these bouncir
on a bed?
101
00:06:38,264 --> 00:06:40,289
Torn rotator cuff
on the right shoulder,
102
00:06:40,366 --> 00:06:43,597
deep internal contusions
in the upper-right quadrant.
103
00:06:43,669 --> 00:06:45,603
Nobody likes it that rough.
104
00:06:49,108 --> 00:06:51,508
Lt. Hagen was on temporary
assignment duty to the ship
105
00:06:51,577 --> 00:06:53,772
along with
another female officer.
106
00:06:53,846 --> 00:06:56,781
She was being trained
in anti-submarine warfare.
107
00:06:56,849 --> 00:06:58,544
And how long
had she been on board?
108
00:06:58,617 --> 00:07:01,017
Six weeks,
with another two to go.
109
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,579
She was a promising
young officer.
110
00:07:03,656 --> 00:07:05,055
Third-generation Navy.
111
00:07:05,124 --> 00:07:06,648
Got along well with everyone.
112
00:07:06,725 --> 00:07:08,124
What about last night?
113
00:07:08,194 --> 00:07:10,788
Was she getting along well
with anybody in particular?
114
00:07:10,863 --> 00:07:14,026
No, she was just mixing
with the crowd when I left.
115
00:07:14,567 --> 00:07:16,330
Everything seemed in order.
116
00:07:16,402 --> 00:07:18,233
Captain, I didn't know
that frat parties
117
00:07:18,304 --> 00:07:20,828
were part of
the Navy training manual.
118
00:07:21,239 --> 00:07:23,867
The men were just
letting off a little steam.
119
00:07:24,375 --> 00:07:26,434
It was an unfortunate accident.
120
00:07:26,511 --> 00:07:27,978
Captain Bunker, ahem,
121
00:07:28,046 --> 00:07:31,140
where we work, there's nothing
accidental about murder.
122
00:07:32,083 --> 00:07:34,984
Lt. Hagen was beat up
and left for dead.
123
00:07:35,053 --> 00:07:37,283
It's all there
in black and white.
124
00:07:37,355 --> 00:07:39,687
Does the Navy Investigative
Service know about this?
125
00:07:39,757 --> 00:07:41,588
We sent them a copy.
126
00:07:41,659 --> 00:07:44,389
We believe whoever is
responsible left the party early
127
00:07:44,462 --> 00:07:46,521
before we had a chance
to talk to him.
128
00:07:46,598 --> 00:07:49,192
Excluding yourself
and Lt. Hagen,
129
00:07:49,267 --> 00:07:52,998
there are six names on your guest
list that don't appear on ours.
130
00:07:55,206 --> 00:07:58,300
Lt. St. Claire will see
that you talk to them.
131
00:07:58,376 --> 00:08:02,335
I guarantee you, gentlemen,
you'll have our full cooperation.
132
00:08:05,250 --> 00:08:06,808
I was drinking, sir.
133
00:08:06,885 --> 00:08:08,375
Everyone had a lot to drink.
134
00:08:08,453 --> 00:08:09,977
Well, who were you
drinking with?
135
00:08:10,054 --> 00:08:11,419
At the party?
136
00:08:12,290 --> 00:08:13,552
A lot of people.
137
00:08:13,625 --> 00:08:16,093
Does that include
Lt. Hagen?
138
00:08:16,561 --> 00:08:17,892
I don't recall, sir.
139
00:08:17,962 --> 00:08:20,988
Lieutenant Bates, did you
have a good time at the party?
140
00:08:21,065 --> 00:08:22,054
Yes, sir.
141
00:08:22,133 --> 00:08:25,000
When I'm havir a good time,
I don't cut out early.
142
00:08:26,571 --> 00:08:28,003
Sir, I, uh...
143
00:08:29,406 --> 00:08:31,533
It was because
of the prostitutes.
144
00:08:31,608 --> 00:08:33,269
What, you don't like girls?
145
00:08:33,343 --> 00:08:38,144
I'm married, sir. I wouldn't want
my wife to see me get involved.
146
00:08:38,215 --> 00:08:39,239
Okay, we got it.
147
00:08:39,316 --> 00:08:41,546
What time did
the conscience kick in?
148
00:08:42,052 --> 00:08:44,577
10:00 PM.
149
00:08:45,722 --> 00:08:48,122
I went to a bar
with Ens. Walters
150
00:08:48,191 --> 00:08:50,318
a couple of blocks
from the hotel.
151
00:08:50,394 --> 00:08:51,725
McGill's.
152
00:08:53,597 --> 00:08:56,191
I don't recall what time
we got to McGill's, sir.
153
00:08:56,266 --> 00:08:58,666
That's a nice big watch
you got on your wrist, there.
154
00:08:58,735 --> 00:09:00,566
I bet it even glows
in the dark.
155
00:09:00,637 --> 00:09:02,605
Sir, it was a sports bar.
156
00:09:02,973 --> 00:09:04,804
There was a Ranger game
on the TV.
157
00:09:04,875 --> 00:09:06,399
It was the end
of the third period.
158
00:09:06,476 --> 00:09:08,410
Oh, come on.
I don't get that.
159
00:09:08,478 --> 00:09:11,845
You're gonna pass up a sure
thing to watch a hockey game?
160
00:09:11,915 --> 00:09:13,644
Sir, I didn't want...
161
00:09:14,985 --> 00:09:17,385
I was afraid
of catching something, sir.
162
00:09:20,824 --> 00:09:23,793
I was assigned to share
quarters with Lt. Hagen.
163
00:09:23,860 --> 00:09:25,589
She was a very capable officer.
164
00:09:25,662 --> 00:09:27,892
Off duty, capable of what?
165
00:09:28,732 --> 00:09:30,757
I don't understand
the question, sir.
166
00:09:30,834 --> 00:09:34,133
Lt. Mendoza, they wanna know
about her personal habits.
167
00:09:34,204 --> 00:09:37,172
Just answer them to the
best of your abilities.
168
00:09:37,239 --> 00:09:38,501
Yes, sir.
169
00:09:39,842 --> 00:09:41,639
She listened
to classical music.
170
00:09:41,711 --> 00:09:43,736
She was looking forward
to seeing the philharmonic
171
00:09:43,813 --> 00:09:44,905
with her father.
172
00:09:44,981 --> 00:09:47,245
Chief Petty Officer
James Hagen retired.
173
00:09:47,316 --> 00:09:49,113
He lives in Brooklyn.
174
00:09:49,185 --> 00:09:51,745
Was she involved with anyone
on board ship?
175
00:09:51,821 --> 00:09:53,948
She ever talk about anybody?
176
00:09:54,023 --> 00:09:55,513
We didn't get personal, sir.
177
00:09:55,591 --> 00:09:56,580
How about Hula Night?
178
00:09:56,659 --> 00:09:58,456
You see her with anyone?
179
00:09:59,862 --> 00:10:02,729
I had a drink with her
early in the evening.
180
00:10:03,532 --> 00:10:06,126
After that, I didn't see her
until I was ready to leave.
181
00:10:06,202 --> 00:10:07,226
What time was that?
182
00:10:07,303 --> 00:10:09,362
Just before 10:00 p. m., sir.
183
00:10:10,006 --> 00:10:11,769
She was in the hall.
184
00:10:12,274 --> 00:10:14,572
I could tell
she'd been drinking.
185
00:10:17,947 --> 00:10:20,882
So, with two in sick bay,
one on emergency leave,
186
00:10:20,950 --> 00:10:23,077
that accounts for the
six missing in the hotel.
187
00:10:23,152 --> 00:10:24,585
Let's give our boy credit.
188
00:10:24,653 --> 00:10:27,679
He might have figured being
MIA would cause attention.
189
00:10:27,757 --> 00:10:30,351
What, he kills her and joins
his buddy in the conga line?
190
00:10:30,426 --> 00:10:31,518
That's pretty cold.
191
00:10:31,594 --> 00:10:33,960
I know a few rapists who
wouldn't think twice about it.
192
00:10:34,030 --> 00:10:36,498
I bet they left more behind
than shoulder bruises.
193
00:10:36,599 --> 00:10:38,863
This guy barely touched her
where it counts.
194
00:10:38,934 --> 00:10:40,231
Something scared him.
195
00:10:40,302 --> 00:10:41,291
Yeah...
196
00:10:41,637 --> 00:10:45,197
Well, let's say she had
the hots for somebody, okay?
197
00:10:45,273 --> 00:10:47,002
They're in the room.
They're makir out.
198
00:10:47,075 --> 00:10:49,066
But she's worried about
the yahoos in the hall
199
00:10:49,144 --> 00:10:50,611
who might enter at any minute.
200
00:10:50,678 --> 00:10:54,307
Yeah, so modesty cools her
down, and his kettle explodes.
201
00:10:54,382 --> 00:10:57,476
She ends up dead.
Romeo freaks. He splits.
202
00:10:57,552 --> 00:10:59,952
That still leaves us casting
for the part of Romeo.
203
00:11:00,021 --> 00:11:03,286
Listen, if Hagen really
had eyes for somebody,
204
00:11:03,358 --> 00:11:06,327
don't you think she might have
told her roommate about it?
205
00:11:06,394 --> 00:11:07,986
Unless she was afraid
of readir it
206
00:11:08,063 --> 00:11:10,088
in the Navy Times
the next day.
207
00:11:10,165 --> 00:11:12,463
Maybe somebody
outside the service?
208
00:11:16,938 --> 00:11:18,769
Class of '89.
209
00:11:19,674 --> 00:11:21,574
The first Hagen in the Academy.
210
00:11:23,044 --> 00:11:24,944
The first to wear bars
on her collar.
211
00:11:25,013 --> 00:11:26,640
I don't know
how she got through it.
212
00:11:26,714 --> 00:11:28,705
She have a tough time there?
213
00:11:28,783 --> 00:11:32,219
In her senior year at the
Academy, some kind of problem.
214
00:11:33,521 --> 00:11:35,489
It's not that
I hadrt warned her.
215
00:11:35,557 --> 00:11:38,685
The Navy's not my idea of
a proper career for a woman.
216
00:11:39,894 --> 00:11:41,828
But Janet stuck with it.
217
00:11:41,896 --> 00:11:44,694
Did you talk to her after she
was assigned to the McKinley?
218
00:11:44,799 --> 00:11:46,027
Well, we had...
219
00:11:46,701 --> 00:11:51,034
We had dinner her first night
in... first night in port.
220
00:11:52,873 --> 00:11:56,934
Mr. Hagen, was she involved
with anybody on board the ship?
221
00:11:58,579 --> 00:12:01,946
No. No.
But I've been there.
222
00:12:03,250 --> 00:12:05,115
A young woman like her
223
00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:08,113
every guy must have
taken his best shot.
224
00:12:08,655 --> 00:12:12,591
Do you think it was possible in that
situation she wouldn't have said no?
225
00:12:13,594 --> 00:12:14,959
Janet knew better.
226
00:12:15,262 --> 00:12:17,730
It was career, first and last.
227
00:12:19,867 --> 00:12:22,802
There were people at the party
who saw her drunk.
228
00:12:22,870 --> 00:12:24,201
They said that?
229
00:12:26,206 --> 00:12:27,571
Not my Janet.
230
00:12:28,575 --> 00:12:29,940
Booze killed her mother.
231
00:12:30,010 --> 00:12:33,002
A glass of wine at dinner,
that was Janet's limit.
232
00:12:33,981 --> 00:12:36,882
So she doesn't have tattoos on
her arms, she's still a sailor.
233
00:12:36,950 --> 00:12:38,417
The fact she may drink like one
234
00:12:38,485 --> 00:12:39,816
shouldn't be a complete shock.
235
00:12:39,887 --> 00:12:42,549
Her old man practically has
her in the temperance league.
236
00:12:42,623 --> 00:12:45,558
What, your tellir me daddy
knows every little secret?
237
00:12:45,626 --> 00:12:47,719
Well, she didn't keep
any secrets from the ME.
238
00:12:47,794 --> 00:12:51,594
Subject Hagen had
a blood alcohol of 0.03.
239
00:12:51,665 --> 00:12:54,190
I score higher than that
after I gargle in the morning.
240
00:12:54,268 --> 00:12:55,633
My brother-in-law...
the nut...
241
00:12:55,702 --> 00:12:57,499
one drink,
he's off to the races.
242
00:12:57,571 --> 00:13:00,505
Look, fellas, drunk or sober,
somebody killed her.
243
00:13:00,740 --> 00:13:02,833
Did you run the guest list
through the computer?
244
00:13:02,909 --> 00:13:04,740
Yeah. Didrt ring any bells.
245
00:13:04,810 --> 00:13:06,903
There's nothir
in the Navy's records either.
246
00:13:06,979 --> 00:13:08,947
Fingerprints didn't exactly
narrow the field.
247
00:13:09,015 --> 00:13:11,210
We lifted 17 sets
from the room.
248
00:13:11,284 --> 00:13:13,718
Great. So, The Marines
land in Somalia,
249
00:13:13,786 --> 00:13:16,152
they got cameras covering
every square inch of sand.
250
00:13:16,222 --> 00:13:17,712
A sailor gets whacked
in Manattan,
251
00:13:17,790 --> 00:13:19,690
it might as well
have happened on the moon.
252
00:13:20,293 --> 00:13:22,318
Lennie, this guy, Bates.
253
00:13:22,662 --> 00:13:25,756
Wasrt he worried about his
wife seeing him grope a hooker?
254
00:13:25,831 --> 00:13:27,696
Now, how was she gonna see?
255
00:13:28,901 --> 00:13:30,960
The Navy's Funniest Videos?
256
00:13:31,470 --> 00:13:35,099
Call St. Claire. See which one of
his guys likes to play Allen Funt.
257
00:13:45,651 --> 00:13:48,984
This gets out, and recruitment
will go right through the roof.
258
00:13:50,223 --> 00:13:51,713
Yes, unfortunately.
259
00:13:52,625 --> 00:13:56,061
I can't say Lt. Can'ter was
eager to volunteer this tape.
260
00:13:56,495 --> 00:13:57,985
It's a disgrace.
261
00:13:59,532 --> 00:14:01,523
Wait a minute. Go back.
262
00:14:04,370 --> 00:14:05,927
All right, stop.
263
00:14:07,639 --> 00:14:10,836
Down the hall. That's Hagen.
264
00:14:12,644 --> 00:14:13,838
Go ahead.
265
00:14:23,321 --> 00:14:25,516
So much for
Daddy's little girl.
266
00:14:30,895 --> 00:14:32,260
Go back again.
267
00:14:33,999 --> 00:14:35,193
Freeze it.
268
00:14:40,171 --> 00:14:42,799
And the door prize
goes to Lt. Bates.
269
00:14:43,708 --> 00:14:46,404
I told you, sir.
I didn't want my wife to know.
270
00:14:46,478 --> 00:14:49,276
Oh, you lied to spare
your wife's feelings, huh?
271
00:14:50,448 --> 00:14:53,349
Do I have "sucker"
written all over my forehead?
272
00:14:53,418 --> 00:14:54,646
No, sir.
273
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,283
Before the party, you spend
any time with Lt. Hagen?
274
00:14:58,356 --> 00:15:00,085
Of a personal nature?
275
00:15:01,092 --> 00:15:03,788
I said hello to her a couple
of times here in the ward room.
276
00:15:03,862 --> 00:15:04,886
She wasrt my type.
277
00:15:04,963 --> 00:15:06,794
Not sober, she wasrt.
278
00:15:09,701 --> 00:15:11,692
Sir, she came down the line.
279
00:15:17,241 --> 00:15:19,641
I don't know what I was
thinking. It was stupid.
280
00:15:19,710 --> 00:15:23,111
Once you got her in the room,
you went from stupid to violent.
281
00:15:24,915 --> 00:15:27,611
Mr. Bates, you had better
tell them the truth.
282
00:15:28,786 --> 00:15:31,118
As it is,
you're in a world of trouble.
283
00:15:38,862 --> 00:15:42,195
Ens. Walters.
He had her after me.
284
00:15:43,867 --> 00:15:45,835
He took her into the room, sir.
285
00:15:53,043 --> 00:15:56,774
Sir, I already told the
detectives everything I remember.
286
00:15:56,847 --> 00:15:58,712
I assure you, mister,
287
00:15:59,183 --> 00:16:01,879
lying now is not
in your best interests.
288
00:16:02,953 --> 00:16:04,147
Sir, I didn't lie.
289
00:16:04,221 --> 00:16:07,588
Only losers bluff after the
table's already seen their hand.
290
00:16:07,658 --> 00:16:09,785
But I did go for a drink
with Lt. Bates.
291
00:16:09,860 --> 00:16:11,088
That's understandable.
292
00:16:11,161 --> 00:16:14,392
You smack around a superior
officer, you work up a thirst.
293
00:16:16,367 --> 00:16:18,699
Am I entitled
to an attorney, sir?
294
00:16:18,769 --> 00:16:21,566
Cooperation now will
benefit you in the long run.
295
00:16:28,044 --> 00:16:31,070
I was drunk.
I mean, everybody was.
296
00:16:32,148 --> 00:16:33,638
I saw her come out of a room.
297
00:16:33,716 --> 00:16:35,911
She nearly fell flat
on her face.
298
00:16:37,019 --> 00:16:39,419
Then she walked the gauntlet.
299
00:16:44,927 --> 00:16:46,758
We went into a room.
300
00:16:48,898 --> 00:16:50,695
I put her on a bed.
301
00:16:53,536 --> 00:16:55,868
L... I was helping her
off with her clothes
302
00:16:55,938 --> 00:16:57,803
and she started to vomit.
303
00:17:02,445 --> 00:17:04,504
Then she stopped moving.
304
00:17:09,685 --> 00:17:12,552
She could have hit her head.
I don't know. I don't remember.
305
00:17:12,622 --> 00:17:15,352
You could have
called a medical officer.
306
00:17:16,592 --> 00:17:18,150
Sir, I panicked.
307
00:17:19,962 --> 00:17:22,362
I don't know
what exactly happened,
308
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,627
but she was dead.
309
00:17:27,969 --> 00:17:30,767
We can convene an Article
32 hearing immediately.
310
00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:33,603
You seem to forget that she
was murdered in our precinct.
311
00:17:33,675 --> 00:17:36,143
The Supreme Court has held
that the military can prosecute
312
00:17:36,211 --> 00:17:39,112
a member of the armed forces
regardless of the situs of the crime.
313
00:17:39,181 --> 00:17:42,309
If you want the citation, I can have
my clerk send it to you by morning.
314
00:17:42,384 --> 00:17:44,375
It'll make good reading
while we're loading Walters
315
00:17:44,453 --> 00:17:46,284
on to the bus to Rikers.
316
00:17:46,354 --> 00:17:48,515
Our common goal
is punishing a criminal.
317
00:17:48,590 --> 00:17:49,716
If you take Walters,
318
00:17:49,791 --> 00:17:51,816
his attorney can slow dance
for a year and a half
319
00:17:51,893 --> 00:17:54,020
before he ever sees the inside
of a courtroom.
320
00:17:54,095 --> 00:17:56,757
The military system moves
to a much quicker beat.
321
00:17:56,832 --> 00:18:00,131
You know, Lieutenant, I never
had much of a sense of rhythm.
322
00:18:00,202 --> 00:18:02,227
I think we better take him.
323
00:18:02,304 --> 00:18:06,297
I'm no lawyer, but I do know that
possession is nine-tenths of the law.
324
00:18:07,209 --> 00:18:09,541
Ens. Walters
isn't going anywhere.
325
00:18:12,481 --> 00:18:15,041
He's right.
The Navy has jurisdiction.
326
00:18:15,116 --> 00:18:17,983
So what? We issue an arrest
warrant and hold our breath
327
00:18:18,053 --> 00:18:19,315
till they're finished with him?
328
00:18:19,387 --> 00:18:21,582
Only if you're good
about your morning jogs.
329
00:18:21,656 --> 00:18:23,351
Uniform code
of military justice
330
00:18:23,425 --> 00:18:25,950
calls this an act inerently
dangerous to others.
331
00:18:26,027 --> 00:18:27,119
It's Murder One.
332
00:18:27,195 --> 00:18:29,163
Mandatory penalty,
life without parole.
333
00:18:29,231 --> 00:18:31,358
That should make "America's
Finest" think twice
334
00:18:31,433 --> 00:18:34,994
about making whoopee inside a Scotch
bottle next time they hit land.
335
00:18:35,070 --> 00:18:38,197
I don't know. Could Walters have
been so deep inside that bottle
336
00:18:38,272 --> 00:18:40,240
he forgets roughir her up?
337
00:18:40,307 --> 00:18:42,002
What are you saying?
338
00:18:42,076 --> 00:18:44,442
I saw Cookie Benitez,
light heavy,
339
00:18:44,512 --> 00:18:46,844
get decked in the third round
at the Garden.
340
00:18:46,914 --> 00:18:48,814
He gets up, takes his bows.
341
00:18:48,883 --> 00:18:51,408
Half an hour later,
he keels over in the shower.
342
00:18:51,485 --> 00:18:53,749
Dead,
internal brain hemorrhage.
343
00:18:55,222 --> 00:18:57,713
She got beat up
before walkir the gauntlet?
344
00:18:59,693 --> 00:19:03,629
A sharp blow to the head,
you pop the carotid artery,
345
00:19:03,864 --> 00:19:07,561
you do not have enough time to
kiss your loved ones goodbye.
346
00:19:07,668 --> 00:19:10,000
Capillaries are
a whole different ball game.
347
00:19:10,070 --> 00:19:12,334
Now, depending on the rate
of seepage,
348
00:19:12,406 --> 00:19:15,204
you could hang around long
enough to rewrite your will.
349
00:19:15,276 --> 00:19:16,607
And Janet Hagen?
350
00:19:16,677 --> 00:19:18,872
Well, some might
call her lucky.
351
00:19:19,079 --> 00:19:20,808
Amount of blood
in her cranial cavity,
352
00:19:20,881 --> 00:19:22,508
she had a good 20
or 30 minutes.
353
00:19:22,583 --> 00:19:25,347
Me, I would want it over with
as quick as possible.
354
00:19:25,419 --> 00:19:28,718
All right. During that time,
would she be able to walk and talk?
355
00:19:28,789 --> 00:19:32,088
Well, balance and speech
would definitely be impaired.
356
00:19:32,159 --> 00:19:35,094
So, for example, she'd
look like she was drunk?
357
00:19:35,162 --> 00:19:36,322
You got it.
358
00:19:39,333 --> 00:19:40,459
Couple of minutes later,
359
00:19:40,534 --> 00:19:42,728
she never would have
made it into Walters' room.
360
00:19:42,802 --> 00:19:43,791
Yeah.
361
00:19:44,270 --> 00:19:46,795
Let's find out whose
room she came out of, huh?
362
00:19:47,507 --> 00:19:49,338
Any idea when I can
clean up this mess?
363
00:19:49,409 --> 00:19:51,604
I'm havir a hell of a time
renting rooms on this floor.
364
00:19:51,678 --> 00:19:53,976
Yeah, well, a year from now,
somebody will write a book.
365
00:19:54,047 --> 00:19:55,639
The place will become
a tourist trap.
366
00:19:55,715 --> 00:19:56,875
You can double your prices.
367
00:19:56,950 --> 00:19:59,316
Okay, so the gauntlet
ended here
368
00:19:59,652 --> 00:20:02,587
and it started up here.
369
00:20:03,356 --> 00:20:07,918
Hagen looked like
she came out around here.
370
00:20:08,428 --> 00:20:09,793
So, what's your pleasure?
371
00:20:09,862 --> 00:20:12,262
Door number one
or door number two?
372
00:20:12,932 --> 00:20:14,866
Who signed for drinks
in these two rooms?
373
00:20:14,934 --> 00:20:16,424
It was an open bar.
374
00:20:16,502 --> 00:20:18,595
Praise the Lord
and pass the martinis.
375
00:20:18,671 --> 00:20:19,797
Wait a minute.
376
00:20:19,872 --> 00:20:21,237
What's a party
without munchies.
377
00:20:21,307 --> 00:20:23,172
Anybody order room service?
378
00:20:23,843 --> 00:20:25,811
I'll check the computer.
379
00:20:26,045 --> 00:20:29,481
Six platters of cold cuts
were delivered to room 1510.
380
00:20:29,549 --> 00:20:30,982
Did they have
corned beef, Mike?
381
00:20:31,050 --> 00:20:32,608
I like corned beef.
382
00:20:33,486 --> 00:20:36,114
The receipts were signed
by Capt. Allard Bunker.
383
00:20:36,189 --> 00:20:38,419
He's the head honcho,
who else is gonna sign?
384
00:20:38,491 --> 00:20:40,322
That room was at the top
of the gauntlet.
385
00:20:40,393 --> 00:20:43,123
Yeah. Walters said
Hagen looked drunk
386
00:20:43,196 --> 00:20:45,255
when she started down
the yellow brick road.
387
00:20:45,331 --> 00:20:46,696
Did CSU check the room?
388
00:20:46,766 --> 00:20:48,427
Well, there was no sign
of a struggle,
389
00:20:48,501 --> 00:20:50,365
but Hagers prints were
on the desk chair.
390
00:20:50,435 --> 00:20:51,800
So she sat down.
391
00:20:51,870 --> 00:20:53,360
Looks to me
like we're still trying
392
00:20:53,438 --> 00:20:55,531
to catch flies with chopsticks.
393
00:20:55,807 --> 00:20:58,674
And the flies are
takir their vitamin B.
394
00:20:58,744 --> 00:21:02,976
"Determination of Article 32 Hearing
of Ensign Evan Hawthorne Walters.
395
00:21:03,048 --> 00:21:05,846
"Sufficient evidence
of involuntary manslaughter
396
00:21:05,917 --> 00:21:07,646
to proceed to court-martial."
397
00:21:07,719 --> 00:21:11,086
The kid took the high road,
confessed, copped a plea.
398
00:21:11,156 --> 00:21:14,023
"Convening Authority:
Vice Admiral Miles Coty.
399
00:21:14,092 --> 00:21:17,084
Referring officer,
Captain Allard Bunker."
400
00:21:20,265 --> 00:21:22,825
Uh, get me the bureau
for Navy personnel.
401
00:21:23,402 --> 00:21:26,098
I don't know,
try the Federal Building.
402
00:21:26,204 --> 00:21:28,604
The transcript
for pre-trial inquiry
403
00:21:28,674 --> 00:21:30,869
might make
for some interesting reading.
404
00:21:32,010 --> 00:21:34,376
Eight witnesses, three days?
405
00:21:34,446 --> 00:21:36,346
Our courts should be
so efficient.
406
00:21:36,415 --> 00:21:38,212
When you're not getting
paid by the hour,
407
00:21:38,283 --> 00:21:40,046
there's no reason
to take your time.
408
00:21:40,118 --> 00:21:41,813
"I was inebriated, sir.
409
00:21:41,887 --> 00:21:43,650
"She was inebriated, sir.
410
00:21:43,722 --> 00:21:45,451
I don't remember, sir."
411
00:21:45,524 --> 00:21:47,856
Well, nobody saw her
leave Bunker's room.
412
00:21:47,926 --> 00:21:50,258
Nobody thought
to ask the question.
413
00:21:50,962 --> 00:21:53,863
The other woman.
Uh, what's her name?
414
00:21:55,333 --> 00:21:56,322
You know,
415
00:21:58,602 --> 00:21:59,830
Mendoza.
416
00:22:02,273 --> 00:22:04,138
She's not on my list.
417
00:22:07,244 --> 00:22:09,075
She's one of the last
to talk to Hagen
418
00:22:09,146 --> 00:22:10,738
before she walked the gauntlet.
419
00:22:10,815 --> 00:22:13,147
Why do you think
she's keeping quiet?
420
00:22:18,889 --> 00:22:19,981
Look at 'em.
421
00:22:20,057 --> 00:22:23,254
All dressed up in their
tailor-mades and ready to roll.
422
00:22:23,327 --> 00:22:26,160
What's the matter? Don't you remember
the good times back in uniform?
423
00:22:26,230 --> 00:22:28,721
I remember the shin splints
from pounding the pavement.
424
00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:30,733
I hate to ruin your reverie.
425
00:22:33,771 --> 00:22:35,136
Lieutenant Mendoza?
426
00:22:35,206 --> 00:22:36,400
Yes?
427
00:22:36,874 --> 00:22:38,432
I want to talk to you
for a minute.
428
00:22:38,509 --> 00:22:39,999
You got a minute?
429
00:22:47,318 --> 00:22:48,785
I was on leave.
430
00:22:49,086 --> 00:22:50,781
I was in Florida
visiting my parents
431
00:22:50,855 --> 00:22:52,447
when the hearing was convened.
432
00:22:52,523 --> 00:22:54,457
Let me ask you something,
Lieutenant.
433
00:22:54,525 --> 00:22:56,186
Who issued the leave?
434
00:22:56,260 --> 00:22:59,058
Capt. Bunker. He thought
I could use the time.
435
00:22:59,130 --> 00:23:00,791
Capt. Nice Guy.
436
00:23:00,865 --> 00:23:03,993
He didn't think my testimony was
essential for the prosecution.
437
00:23:04,068 --> 00:23:05,035
He was right.
438
00:23:05,102 --> 00:23:07,092
Because they went after
the wrong guy.
439
00:23:07,170 --> 00:23:09,900
The medical examiner
testified that Lt. Hagen
440
00:23:09,973 --> 00:23:12,441
suffered the fatal blow
more than 30 minutes
441
00:23:12,509 --> 00:23:14,773
before Walters could
get his hands on her.
442
00:23:14,844 --> 00:23:16,106
But I spoke to her.
443
00:23:16,179 --> 00:23:19,410
She wasrt drunk, Lieutenant.
Her brain was hemorrhaging.
444
00:23:19,482 --> 00:23:21,143
And we think Bunker did it.
445
00:23:21,217 --> 00:23:23,117
That's impossible.
Walters confessed.
446
00:23:23,186 --> 00:23:25,245
You don't think
it was a little funny
447
00:23:25,321 --> 00:23:28,415
that Bunker prevented you
from testifying at the hearing?
448
00:23:28,491 --> 00:23:31,585
Bunker may give you an
all-expense-paid trip to see your folks.
449
00:23:31,661 --> 00:23:33,458
We're going to give you
25-to-life
450
00:23:33,530 --> 00:23:36,055
for conspiracy
when you cover up a murder.
451
00:23:42,806 --> 00:23:44,569
We were in the hall.
452
00:23:46,509 --> 00:23:49,137
Things were starting
to get pretty wild.
453
00:23:50,547 --> 00:23:53,482
Lt. Hagen and I went
into Capt. Bunker's suite.
454
00:23:55,151 --> 00:23:56,982
We were having a drink.
455
00:23:58,855 --> 00:24:02,689
The conversation started to
get, I don't know, uh, personal.
456
00:24:02,759 --> 00:24:04,317
Between Bunker and Hagen?
457
00:24:04,394 --> 00:24:05,520
Yes.
458
00:24:07,330 --> 00:24:11,391
I wasrt really listening, but there
was definitely some history there.
459
00:24:12,202 --> 00:24:14,465
Capt. Bunker ordered me
to leave.
460
00:24:21,643 --> 00:24:25,079
The next day, when we
found out she was dead,
461
00:24:26,915 --> 00:24:29,145
Capt. Bunker told me
to keep quiet.
462
00:24:32,087 --> 00:24:34,419
He said that what Lt. Hagen
and he spoke about
463
00:24:34,489 --> 00:24:36,286
was of no importance.
464
00:24:46,101 --> 00:24:49,036
A naval officer grabbed off the
street in the middle of the night?
465
00:24:49,104 --> 00:24:51,868
Well, our people expect this
in Beirut, but not here.
466
00:24:51,940 --> 00:24:55,899
The crime, sir, resides in the
behavior of your officers, not ours.
467
00:24:57,212 --> 00:24:59,772
Mr. Schiff,
is or isn't Capt. Bunker
468
00:24:59,848 --> 00:25:01,645
the target of an investigation?
469
00:25:01,717 --> 00:25:04,550
No one's priming
their big guns, Admiral.
470
00:25:05,554 --> 00:25:08,318
Till we have a conviction,
everyone's fair game.
471
00:25:08,390 --> 00:25:11,257
Our people consider their work
done when a suspect confesses.
472
00:25:11,326 --> 00:25:14,193
With all due respect, sir,
a vague drunken confession
473
00:25:14,263 --> 00:25:15,662
without supporting evidence.
474
00:25:15,731 --> 00:25:18,529
Our court found it convincing
enough to send a man to Leavenwon'th.
475
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,533
We sent exculpatory
forensic evidence
476
00:25:20,601 --> 00:25:22,091
to the Naval
Investigative Service.
477
00:25:22,169 --> 00:25:24,330
Which dismissed it
as inconclusive.
478
00:25:25,806 --> 00:25:29,606
Mr. Schiff, the McKinley is scheduled
for deployment at the end of the week.
479
00:25:29,677 --> 00:25:31,611
I will accommodate you
any way we can.
480
00:25:31,679 --> 00:25:35,046
But at this point, I'm unwilling to
remove Capt. Bunker from his command
481
00:25:35,116 --> 00:25:37,641
based on pure speculation.
482
00:25:40,688 --> 00:25:41,916
Gentlemen.
483
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,421
Circling the wagons.
484
00:25:47,762 --> 00:25:49,821
A time-honored
military maneuver.
485
00:25:49,897 --> 00:25:52,092
Then what? We stand
on the dock and sing
486
00:25:52,166 --> 00:25:54,293
Anchors Aweigh
while Bunker shoves off?
487
00:25:54,368 --> 00:25:57,667
Until you have enough to arrest
the man, let alone charge him,
488
00:25:57,738 --> 00:25:58,898
that's the best you can do.
489
00:25:58,973 --> 00:26:00,873
We certainly can't force him
to talk to us.
490
00:26:00,942 --> 00:26:02,705
We could with
a material witness order.
491
00:26:02,777 --> 00:26:05,905
You cannot detain a witness
without an indictment.
492
00:26:05,980 --> 00:26:08,778
And there's no indictment
unless you have a defendant.
493
00:26:08,849 --> 00:26:10,817
Well, there's one on his way
to Leavenwon'th.
494
00:26:10,885 --> 00:26:12,944
Indict Walters?
You said he was innocent.
495
00:26:13,054 --> 00:26:15,887
If it gets us face-to-face
with Bunker...
496
00:26:17,792 --> 00:26:19,191
This is an outrage.
497
00:26:19,260 --> 00:26:22,718
And a proper way of securing the
testimony of an uncooperative witness.
498
00:26:22,797 --> 00:26:24,924
It's a prosecutorial mugging,
is what it is.
499
00:26:24,999 --> 00:26:25,988
Lieutenant.
500
00:26:27,134 --> 00:26:29,067
I may not like your tactics,
Mr. Stone,
501
00:26:29,135 --> 00:26:31,467
but they seem to fall
within the law.
502
00:26:32,005 --> 00:26:33,836
I'll answer your questions.
503
00:26:33,907 --> 00:26:37,536
You can begin by explaining
why you ordered Lt. Mendoza
504
00:26:37,610 --> 00:26:39,737
to withhold information
from the police.
505
00:26:39,813 --> 00:26:42,338
Because it wasrt pertinent
to their investigation.
506
00:26:42,415 --> 00:26:44,849
They can tie
their own shoelaces, sir.
507
00:26:45,752 --> 00:26:48,949
Lt. Hagen complained of the
treatment of women on the ship.
508
00:26:49,022 --> 00:26:53,356
She accused me of condoning what
she called a pattern of harassment.
509
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,921
Why did you tell
Lt. Mendoza to leave?
510
00:26:55,996 --> 00:26:57,588
It was for
Lt. Hagers benefit.
511
00:26:57,664 --> 00:27:00,030
I didn't wanna chew her out
in front of a junior officer.
512
00:27:00,100 --> 00:27:02,660
How long were you in the room
alone with her?
513
00:27:03,203 --> 00:27:04,830
No more than five minutes,
514
00:27:04,904 --> 00:27:08,362
until we were both satisfied
that the matter had been resolved.
515
00:27:08,441 --> 00:27:09,499
Then I left the party.
516
00:27:09,576 --> 00:27:11,100
And where did you go?
517
00:27:11,177 --> 00:27:13,702
I left with a companion.
A blonde.
518
00:27:15,015 --> 00:27:16,175
Her name?
519
00:27:17,417 --> 00:27:19,612
I wasrt interested in her name.
520
00:27:22,288 --> 00:27:25,348
If that's all, gentlemen,
I have a ship to tend to.
521
00:27:25,425 --> 00:27:27,290
That is not all, sir.
522
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,050
Under
the material witness order,
523
00:27:29,162 --> 00:27:31,926
you can be held until the
grand jury is released.
524
00:27:34,467 --> 00:27:37,765
On behalf of the Navy, I'm
filing a motion to dismiss.
525
00:27:43,342 --> 00:27:46,834
Oh, Ben, five prostitutes
were arrested at the party,
526
00:27:46,912 --> 00:27:48,971
all of them hired
through Marathon Escorts.
527
00:27:49,048 --> 00:27:50,675
Was one of them
Bunker's blonde?
528
00:27:50,749 --> 00:27:52,808
Four brunettes and a redhead.
529
00:27:53,886 --> 00:27:54,910
That doesn't sound right.
530
00:27:54,987 --> 00:27:57,615
Get a subpoena
over to that escort service.
531
00:27:58,924 --> 00:28:00,915
I don't know what they
told you down at the office,
532
00:28:00,993 --> 00:28:04,360
but the only service I give
is good dinner conversation.
533
00:28:04,430 --> 00:28:05,419
You went to the hotel
534
00:28:05,497 --> 00:28:08,159
expecting a sit-down dinner
with 25 sailors?
535
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,659
I'm a companion
for lonely guys.
536
00:28:10,736 --> 00:28:12,169
You want to arrest me,
go ahead.
537
00:28:12,237 --> 00:28:15,001
I have the beeper numbers of
a half-dozen bail bondsmen.
538
00:28:15,074 --> 00:28:17,338
I'm not concerned how you
pay your rent, Ms. White.
539
00:28:17,409 --> 00:28:20,037
When you left the party,
were you alone?
540
00:28:20,212 --> 00:28:22,703
Rule number one:
Don't kiss and tell.
541
00:28:23,115 --> 00:28:25,379
Better start
dialing those numbers.
542
00:28:25,451 --> 00:28:27,942
Your rules don't apply
to murder suspects.
543
00:28:35,627 --> 00:28:38,027
I left the hotel
with "Bunky."
544
00:28:38,530 --> 00:28:41,055
That's what he wanted me
to call him.
545
00:28:41,633 --> 00:28:43,600
We took a cab
to the Ambassador.
546
00:28:43,668 --> 00:28:45,568
I should have ditched him
in the lobby.
547
00:28:45,636 --> 00:28:48,264
Something wrong
with his bedside manner?
548
00:28:48,706 --> 00:28:51,231
The guy was loaded,
but couldn't fire.
549
00:28:51,309 --> 00:28:52,469
You grade performance?
550
00:28:52,543 --> 00:28:53,840
I didn't care.
551
00:28:54,178 --> 00:28:56,703
But he did, big-time.
552
00:28:58,616 --> 00:29:02,382
Maybe it was just the way I looked
at him, but he just took off on me.
553
00:29:02,453 --> 00:29:04,045
Called me every name
in the book.
554
00:29:04,122 --> 00:29:06,147
Nothing you haven't
heard before.
555
00:29:06,357 --> 00:29:08,689
The creep almost
ripped my arm off.
556
00:29:10,461 --> 00:29:13,259
I changed my tune, told
him what a big hunk he was,
557
00:29:13,331 --> 00:29:15,299
and split as soon as I could.
558
00:29:17,301 --> 00:29:19,269
He scared the hell out of me.
559
00:29:20,872 --> 00:29:24,000
If nothing else, Ben, it shows
Bunker has a propensity for violence.
560
00:29:24,075 --> 00:29:26,168
Toward a prostitute,
not a fellow officer.
561
00:29:26,244 --> 00:29:28,804
A uniform may not be much
protection from someone like Bunker.
562
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,281
Uh, in the eyes of a jury, a uniform
might be all the protection he needs.
563
00:29:32,350 --> 00:29:33,942
Look at that record.
564
00:29:34,018 --> 00:29:37,510
Distinguished service,
Vietnam, Middle East, Grenada.
565
00:29:37,722 --> 00:29:39,019
Navy thought so highly of him
566
00:29:39,090 --> 00:29:41,581
they sent him to Annapolis
as an expert instructor.
567
00:29:41,659 --> 00:29:44,059
Academic year '88-'89.
Yep.
568
00:29:44,128 --> 00:29:45,686
That's the same time
as Janet Hagen.
569
00:29:45,763 --> 00:29:48,254
Mendoza said they had
some kind of history.
570
00:29:49,534 --> 00:29:51,330
Before he taught at Annapolis,
571
00:29:51,401 --> 00:29:53,494
he commanded a missile cruiser.
572
00:29:54,437 --> 00:29:57,065
But after
his teaching stint there,
573
00:29:57,641 --> 00:30:01,975
he ends up at the Earle
Naval Station in New Jersey.
574
00:30:02,045 --> 00:30:04,377
From ship to shore? That
doesn't sound like a promotion.
575
00:30:04,447 --> 00:30:08,042
Maybe his career got on a
collision course with Hagers.
576
00:30:08,118 --> 00:30:09,983
Well, there's nothir
about it here.
577
00:30:10,053 --> 00:30:12,988
The Navy wouldn't be the first
to bury his dirty laundry.
578
00:30:13,056 --> 00:30:16,583
Yeah, maybe they do hand out
shovels with their admiral's stripes.
579
00:30:19,896 --> 00:30:21,488
Your instincts were right,
Mr. Stone.
580
00:30:21,565 --> 00:30:23,328
I called the Academy.
581
00:30:23,500 --> 00:30:25,559
There was in fact
an incident between
582
00:30:25,635 --> 00:30:28,695
Lt. Hagen and Capt. Bunker
while he was an instructor.
583
00:30:30,774 --> 00:30:32,901
A board of inquiry
was convened.
584
00:30:33,577 --> 00:30:38,037
The matter was resolved without
benefit of a disciplinary hearing.
585
00:30:38,949 --> 00:30:41,281
Admiral,
my instincts also tell me
586
00:30:41,351 --> 00:30:43,546
that candor is the best policy.
587
00:30:47,490 --> 00:30:50,584
Lt. Hagen filed a complaint
against Capt. Bunker.
588
00:30:51,494 --> 00:30:54,429
Apparently they had spent
a weekend together.
589
00:30:54,731 --> 00:30:57,564
Some kind of infatuation
on Lt. Hagers part.
590
00:30:58,434 --> 00:31:01,232
But afterwards, she refused
to pursue the affair.
591
00:31:01,303 --> 00:31:03,203
Capt. Bunker had other ideas?
592
00:31:03,272 --> 00:31:05,706
Well, according to Lt. Hagen,
he harassed her to the point
593
00:31:05,774 --> 00:31:08,868
where she considered
resigning from the Academy.
594
00:31:08,944 --> 00:31:11,208
Is there a copy
of the complaint?
595
00:31:16,585 --> 00:31:19,850
Admiral, in the civilian
world, Capt. Bunker
596
00:31:20,456 --> 00:31:24,586
would have found a pink slip
on his desk in the morning.
597
00:31:26,829 --> 00:31:29,992
The board of inquiry had to
weigh the word of a midshipman
598
00:31:30,065 --> 00:31:32,932
against that of
a distinguished captain.
599
00:31:33,369 --> 00:31:34,666
You don't need Clarence Thomas
600
00:31:34,737 --> 00:31:36,796
to tell you who they believed.
601
00:31:37,339 --> 00:31:40,467
Capt. Bunker knows he'll never
command a ship of the line.
602
00:31:42,111 --> 00:31:43,874
Officially, Bunker was cleared.
603
00:31:43,946 --> 00:31:46,141
Unofficially, he has an
asterisk next to his name.
604
00:31:46,215 --> 00:31:48,183
And his career goes
into a nosedive.
605
00:31:48,250 --> 00:31:50,115
Right into the Mulligan Navy.
606
00:31:50,185 --> 00:31:53,018
Interesting sidebar, but
hardly evidence of a murder.
607
00:31:53,088 --> 00:31:56,023
It's motive. In his mind,
she ruined his career.
608
00:31:56,091 --> 00:31:57,388
And we know he gets violent.
609
00:31:57,459 --> 00:31:59,950
Yeah, his machismo
bruises easily.
610
00:32:00,029 --> 00:32:01,360
Whose doesn't?
611
00:32:01,430 --> 00:32:03,796
You'll need more than
spider webs to hang him.
612
00:32:03,866 --> 00:32:05,924
Well, the Navy's
already hung Walters.
613
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,026
Adam, our forensics proved
that Hagen received her injury
614
00:32:09,103 --> 00:32:11,264
20 minutes before Walters
even got her in the room.
615
00:32:11,339 --> 00:32:13,432
He couldn't have killed her.
But, if we don't proceed,
616
00:32:13,508 --> 00:32:17,069
he'll spend the better part of
his life in a military prison.
617
00:32:17,445 --> 00:32:19,606
Read the good captain
his rights.
618
00:32:19,681 --> 00:32:21,740
Keep your suit of armor handy.
619
00:32:21,816 --> 00:32:24,284
The Navy has its own
rules of engagement.
620
00:32:39,033 --> 00:32:40,557
Capt. Bunker.
621
00:32:57,418 --> 00:32:59,045
Excuse me, gentlemen.
622
00:33:03,725 --> 00:33:04,783
What is it now?
623
00:33:04,859 --> 00:33:06,326
I'm in the middle
of a conference.
624
00:33:06,394 --> 00:33:07,986
Allard Bunker,
you are under arrest
625
00:33:08,062 --> 00:33:10,292
for the murder of Janet Hagen.
626
00:33:10,365 --> 00:33:12,026
This is absurd.
627
00:33:12,100 --> 00:33:13,623
Tell it to the Marines,
Captain.
628
00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:15,429
You have the right
to remain silent.
629
00:33:15,502 --> 00:33:17,129
Anything you do, say,
can and will be
630
00:33:17,204 --> 00:33:19,001
used against you
in a court of law.
631
00:33:19,072 --> 00:33:20,562
You have the right
to an attorney.
632
00:33:24,778 --> 00:33:27,645
"Docket number 889756.
633
00:33:27,714 --> 00:33:31,582
People v. Allard Bunker. Charge
is murder in the second degree. "
634
00:33:32,686 --> 00:33:35,177
The few, the proud,
the indicted.
635
00:33:35,255 --> 00:33:38,088
My client is a captain in the
United States Navy, Your Honor,
636
00:33:38,158 --> 00:33:39,318
not the Marine Corps.
637
00:33:39,393 --> 00:33:41,361
My apologies, Counselor.
638
00:33:41,428 --> 00:33:43,419
How does the captain plead?
639
00:33:45,031 --> 00:33:46,555
Not guilty, Your Honor.
640
00:33:46,633 --> 00:33:49,568
People request bail
in the amount of $500,000.
641
00:33:49,636 --> 00:33:51,831
Capt. Bunker
is a career officer,
642
00:33:51,905 --> 00:33:55,636
motivated by service to his
country, not personal financial gain.
643
00:33:55,709 --> 00:33:58,803
The State's unconscionable
request will place undue burden
644
00:33:58,879 --> 00:34:00,847
on the men under his command.
645
00:34:00,914 --> 00:34:03,940
Bail is set at $200,000,
cash or bond.
646
00:34:04,484 --> 00:34:06,475
Let no one say
I'm not patriotic.
647
00:34:07,788 --> 00:34:10,120
You're running very lean, Ben.
648
00:34:10,957 --> 00:34:13,892
Forensics,
Lt. Mendoza's testimony.
649
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,656
In contrast to Capt. Bunker's
service record,
650
00:34:16,730 --> 00:34:19,995
your evidence hardly merits
the term "circumstantial."
651
00:34:20,066 --> 00:34:22,659
The motive will kick it up
a few notches.
652
00:34:22,735 --> 00:34:24,293
What possible motive
could I have
653
00:34:24,370 --> 00:34:26,497
for killing an officer
under my command?
654
00:34:26,572 --> 00:34:30,770
To you, sir, Lt. Hagen was a great
deal more than just an officer.
655
00:34:30,843 --> 00:34:34,745
You mean she was a woman, and with
Time magazine on their soapbox,
656
00:34:34,814 --> 00:34:37,681
everyone believes that women
are mistreated in the Navy.
657
00:34:37,750 --> 00:34:40,514
Are you saying that you treat
the women in your command
658
00:34:40,586 --> 00:34:42,383
the same as you treat the men?
659
00:34:42,455 --> 00:34:46,289
No. I've had to deal with a
double standard that favors them.
660
00:34:46,358 --> 00:34:49,384
If it was a male officer who had
cracked his head in a drunken accident,
661
00:34:49,462 --> 00:34:51,225
you won't give two seconds
of your time.
662
00:34:51,297 --> 00:34:52,321
Captain, please.
663
00:34:52,398 --> 00:34:57,062
But it is this civilian
obsession with sexual harassment
664
00:34:57,436 --> 00:34:59,370
that has given
these women power.
665
00:34:59,438 --> 00:35:01,872
The power to ruin
your career, sir?
666
00:35:04,376 --> 00:35:06,640
My whole life has been
service to my country.
667
00:35:06,712 --> 00:35:08,873
You have no right to judge me.
668
00:35:08,948 --> 00:35:10,472
I'm not judging you, sir.
669
00:35:10,549 --> 00:35:14,952
That right belongs to your
conscience and 12 taxpayers.
670
00:35:15,454 --> 00:35:19,390
And I assure you, the latter will
not be as tolerant as the former.
671
00:35:28,166 --> 00:35:30,031
We were assigned
to the McKinley
672
00:35:30,101 --> 00:35:31,591
for sonar training.
673
00:35:31,669 --> 00:35:32,931
From the time we arrived,
674
00:35:33,004 --> 00:35:36,337
Capt. Bunker seemed to take a
special interest in Lt. Hagen.
675
00:35:36,407 --> 00:35:38,170
In what way, Lieutenant?
676
00:35:38,243 --> 00:35:40,609
In general,
he was very condescending.
677
00:35:40,678 --> 00:35:43,010
As trainees,
it wasrt unusual for us
678
00:35:43,081 --> 00:35:45,242
to miscalibrate the equipment.
679
00:35:45,316 --> 00:35:48,342
One time when Lt. Hagen
made a mistake,
680
00:35:48,419 --> 00:35:50,580
Capt. Bunker made a point of
681
00:35:50,655 --> 00:35:52,987
dressing her down
in front of the entire crew.
682
00:35:53,057 --> 00:35:56,458
Do you know why he took a
special interest in Lt. Hagen?
683
00:35:56,528 --> 00:35:59,019
I never actually
discussed it with her.
684
00:35:59,364 --> 00:36:01,525
But I sensed that
this training mission
685
00:36:01,599 --> 00:36:03,294
wasrt the first time they met.
686
00:36:03,368 --> 00:36:05,495
That feeling was confirmed
687
00:36:05,570 --> 00:36:08,004
when I saw them together
in the hotel room.
688
00:36:08,072 --> 00:36:09,437
Thank you.
689
00:36:12,176 --> 00:36:14,838
Were you on board the
McKinley when Lt. John Weber
690
00:36:14,913 --> 00:36:16,471
misread a sonar reading?
691
00:36:16,548 --> 00:36:17,845
Yes, sir.
692
00:36:18,082 --> 00:36:21,347
Then, tell us, Lieutenant,
how did Capt. Bunker react?
693
00:36:22,186 --> 00:36:24,711
He read Lt. Weber
the riot act, sir.
694
00:36:24,789 --> 00:36:27,314
Just as he did
when Lt. Hagen was in error?
695
00:36:30,862 --> 00:36:31,886
It was different.
696
00:36:31,963 --> 00:36:33,555
Why is that?
Because she was a woman?
697
00:36:33,631 --> 00:36:34,723
Objection.
698
00:36:34,799 --> 00:36:37,562
Withdrawn.
Isn't it possible, Lieutenant,
699
00:36:37,634 --> 00:36:40,467
that Capt. Bunker was
merely being a good officer?
700
00:36:43,140 --> 00:36:44,869
We were at sea six weeks.
701
00:36:44,942 --> 00:36:47,240
Capt. Bunker thought
we deserved a party.
702
00:36:47,311 --> 00:36:50,769
Six weeks.
A young man gets lonely.
703
00:36:52,316 --> 00:36:53,544
Yes, sir.
704
00:36:53,617 --> 00:36:57,917
And a party with prostitutes is a
way to alleviate that loneliness.
705
00:36:59,389 --> 00:37:01,050
I wouldn't know
about that, sir.
706
00:37:01,124 --> 00:37:02,751
Of course you wouldn't.
707
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:04,627
Tell me, Ensign,
708
00:37:05,062 --> 00:37:08,190
when did you first decide
to have sex with Lt. Hagen?
709
00:37:11,335 --> 00:37:13,496
There's a question pending,
sir.
710
00:37:14,638 --> 00:37:16,799
Permission to treat this
witness as hostile, Your Honor.
711
00:37:16,873 --> 00:37:18,465
Proceed, Counselor.
712
00:37:19,443 --> 00:37:21,274
True or false, Ensign?
713
00:37:21,511 --> 00:37:24,947
You grabbed Lt. Hagen after
she walked down the gauntlet.
714
00:37:26,316 --> 00:37:27,283
That's right.
715
00:37:27,351 --> 00:37:28,511
You thought she was drunk.
716
00:37:28,585 --> 00:37:30,018
She certainly
appeared friendly,
717
00:37:30,087 --> 00:37:31,679
so you carried her
into a bedroom.
718
00:37:31,755 --> 00:37:32,687
Yes.
719
00:37:32,756 --> 00:37:34,849
And then you beat her up?
No.
720
00:37:35,392 --> 00:37:38,657
Isn't it true you've already
been convicted of killing her?
721
00:37:40,430 --> 00:37:41,362
Yes, but...
722
00:37:41,431 --> 00:37:42,659
As a matter of fact,
723
00:37:42,733 --> 00:37:44,461
you confessed
to committing that crime.
724
00:37:44,533 --> 00:37:46,023
Isn't that true?
725
00:37:47,536 --> 00:37:48,525
I thought...
726
00:37:48,604 --> 00:37:50,162
Yes or no, sir?
727
00:37:55,511 --> 00:37:56,569
Yes.
728
00:38:04,754 --> 00:38:06,153
Uh, Ens. Walters,
729
00:38:06,856 --> 00:38:10,155
do you have any recollection
730
00:38:10,493 --> 00:38:12,859
of ever striking Lt. Hagen?
731
00:38:16,032 --> 00:38:17,056
No.
732
00:38:18,701 --> 00:38:20,601
We have heard forensic evidence
733
00:38:20,670 --> 00:38:23,230
that the blow
that killed Lt. Hagen
734
00:38:23,305 --> 00:38:26,797
was struck 20 to 30 minutes
before her death.
735
00:38:28,210 --> 00:38:31,304
In the pre-trial inquiry
conducted by the Navy,
736
00:38:31,380 --> 00:38:33,473
was there
any evidence introduced
737
00:38:33,549 --> 00:38:36,313
to prove that it was you
that struck her?
738
00:38:37,319 --> 00:38:38,343
No.
739
00:38:38,421 --> 00:38:41,288
In other words,
you only thought
740
00:38:41,357 --> 00:38:44,053
that you had
accidentally killed her.
741
00:38:48,164 --> 00:38:49,290
That's right.
742
00:38:49,732 --> 00:38:50,857
Thank you.
743
00:38:54,069 --> 00:38:56,833
What happened at the Academy
was a misunderstanding,
744
00:38:56,905 --> 00:38:58,338
pure and simple.
745
00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:01,868
Lt. Hagen and I had
a relationship, yes.
746
00:39:03,178 --> 00:39:05,510
The girl admired me very much.
747
00:39:06,448 --> 00:39:08,541
I allowed it to get personal.
748
00:39:08,616 --> 00:39:10,777
But it certainly
was not sexual.
749
00:39:10,852 --> 00:39:12,251
Why did you leave your position
750
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,686
as instructor
at the Academy, Captain?
751
00:39:15,190 --> 00:39:16,623
You have to understand,
752
00:39:16,691 --> 00:39:19,285
accusing me of violating
the code of behavior
753
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,193
was Lt. Hagers way
of dealing with rejection.
754
00:39:22,430 --> 00:39:25,365
Do you blame her
for ruining your career?
755
00:39:25,433 --> 00:39:27,663
Certainly not.
I'm a Navy man.
756
00:39:28,369 --> 00:39:30,394
Commanding a ship
is all I ever wanted.
757
00:39:30,472 --> 00:39:32,406
I'm proud of my position.
758
00:39:32,874 --> 00:39:35,570
Tell us what happened
at the hotel, sir.
759
00:39:36,578 --> 00:39:39,240
I wanted to clear the air
once and for all.
760
00:39:39,314 --> 00:39:41,339
I thought it best
that her junior officers
761
00:39:41,416 --> 00:39:43,407
not know about
our past relationship.
762
00:39:43,485 --> 00:39:46,386
That's why you asked Lt.
Mendoza to leave the room?
763
00:39:46,454 --> 00:39:47,614
Precisely.
764
00:39:48,556 --> 00:39:50,683
Lt. Hagen and I had a drink.
765
00:39:51,593 --> 00:39:54,426
I tried to talk with her
in a reasonable way,
766
00:39:54,496 --> 00:39:57,522
but I saw that she still
harbored ill feelings.
767
00:39:57,665 --> 00:40:00,656
I could see the way
our conversation was going
768
00:40:00,834 --> 00:40:03,530
and rather than
losing my temper, I left.
769
00:40:03,837 --> 00:40:05,737
And what did Lt. Hagen do?
770
00:40:07,274 --> 00:40:09,606
She was alone in a room
with an open bar, I assume...
771
00:40:09,676 --> 00:40:11,007
Objection.
772
00:40:11,078 --> 00:40:13,273
Withdrawn.
No further questions.
773
00:40:18,185 --> 00:40:21,518
Sir, are you familiar with
the name Burton Calloway?
774
00:40:21,588 --> 00:40:23,920
If you mean Admiral Calloway,
yes, I know him.
775
00:40:23,991 --> 00:40:27,358
He also taught strategic
theory at Annapolis
776
00:40:27,928 --> 00:40:30,954
the year immediately
preceding your tenure, correct?
777
00:40:31,031 --> 00:40:31,963
Yes.
778
00:40:32,032 --> 00:40:33,329
And where is the admiral now?
779
00:40:34,601 --> 00:40:36,501
He's commanding a battle group.
780
00:40:37,404 --> 00:40:41,841
Uh, who was appointed to your
position the year after you departed?
781
00:40:42,976 --> 00:40:44,841
I believe
it was Brooks Sedgewick.
782
00:40:44,912 --> 00:40:47,904
And what is Mr. Sedgewick's
present rank?
783
00:40:48,348 --> 00:40:49,372
Rear admiral.
784
00:40:49,449 --> 00:40:52,043
And Sam Mclntyre, Kevin Moore,
785
00:40:52,119 --> 00:40:54,485
Robert Swiggett, Alan Markman?
786
00:40:55,789 --> 00:41:00,123
They also taught strategic
theory at Annapolis, didn't they?
787
00:41:00,194 --> 00:41:01,161
Yes.
788
00:41:01,228 --> 00:41:03,719
And they are all admirals now,
aren't they, sir?
789
00:41:04,698 --> 00:41:05,664
Sir?
790
00:41:05,731 --> 00:41:06,755
Yes.
791
00:41:06,833 --> 00:41:10,269
So that teaching post must be a
stepping stone to the Navy elite,
792
00:41:10,336 --> 00:41:14,136
yet you remain a captain.
Why is that, sir?
793
00:41:16,409 --> 00:41:17,501
I wouldn't know.
794
00:41:17,577 --> 00:41:19,602
Isn't it because
of Lt. Hagen?
795
00:41:20,980 --> 00:41:24,609
Isn't it because of her that
you will never rise higher
796
00:41:24,684 --> 00:41:27,744
than the level
of a CO of a sub-hunter
797
00:41:29,021 --> 00:41:32,457
and there is absolutely nothing
that you can do about it?
798
00:41:35,862 --> 00:41:39,662
And how do you deal
with that sense of impotence?
799
00:41:39,732 --> 00:41:41,063
Objection.
Overruled.
800
00:41:41,133 --> 00:41:44,034
With rage?
With the same rage
801
00:41:44,203 --> 00:41:47,695
that you directed at Tammy White,
the prostitute at that hotel?
802
00:41:47,773 --> 00:41:49,570
That bitch deserved it!
803
00:42:00,720 --> 00:42:02,654
Which bitch is it, sir?
804
00:42:02,722 --> 00:42:04,656
Lt. Hagen or Tammy White?
805
00:42:15,433 --> 00:42:17,230
No further questions.
806
00:42:23,909 --> 00:42:26,742
Lt. Hagen may or may not
have been drunk.
807
00:42:26,811 --> 00:42:29,609
Capt. Bunker may or may not
have had an argument with her.
808
00:42:29,681 --> 00:42:32,445
He may or may not
have been in the hotel
809
00:42:33,184 --> 00:42:36,449
at the time that Lt. Hagen
suffered the fatal blow.
810
00:42:36,721 --> 00:42:39,656
Now, if this doesn't add up
to a reasonable doubt,
811
00:42:39,724 --> 00:42:42,249
let us examine, then,
what we do know.
812
00:42:43,194 --> 00:42:47,426
We know that Ens. Walters
confessed to the murder.
813
00:42:48,066 --> 00:42:51,399
We know that every man who
ever served under Capt. Bunker
814
00:42:51,469 --> 00:42:54,734
will gladly testify to his
courage, his patriotism,
815
00:42:54,806 --> 00:42:57,366
his heroics in defense
of our country.
816
00:42:58,276 --> 00:43:00,676
This trial is an insult
to that man
817
00:43:01,046 --> 00:43:03,981
and the great institution
in which he serves.
818
00:43:04,215 --> 00:43:07,912
Acquitting him is a necessity.
819
00:43:13,992 --> 00:43:16,688
The men who have served
with Capt. Bunker,
820
00:43:17,228 --> 00:43:19,753
they do call him
an excellent officer.
821
00:43:20,297 --> 00:43:22,288
But what about the women?
822
00:43:22,733 --> 00:43:26,169
Or, for that matter,
one woman, Lt. Janet Hagen?
823
00:43:26,804 --> 00:43:29,602
She, too,
was an excellent officer.
824
00:43:31,308 --> 00:43:33,469
She overcame adversity
825
00:43:34,345 --> 00:43:37,337
and did what no one
in her family had done before.
826
00:43:37,414 --> 00:43:40,008
She aspired to be best
of her class.
827
00:43:41,185 --> 00:43:45,349
And when she testified as
to Capt. Bunker's attributes,
828
00:43:45,923 --> 00:43:47,652
it ruined his career.
829
00:43:50,260 --> 00:43:52,524
Years passed, and suddenly,
830
00:43:53,464 --> 00:43:56,922
they find themselves alone
together in a hotel room.
831
00:43:57,801 --> 00:44:00,395
And Capt. Bunker does not see
832
00:44:01,372 --> 00:44:03,840
a lieutenant
in the United States Navy.
833
00:44:05,042 --> 00:44:08,478
He sees the woman
who destroyed his life.
834
00:44:10,347 --> 00:44:12,815
We don't have evidence
as to what was said,
835
00:44:12,883 --> 00:44:14,646
but we do have evidence
836
00:44:14,718 --> 00:44:16,913
as to Capt. Bunker's actions.
837
00:44:16,987 --> 00:44:20,889
He tore her rotator cuff when
he grabbed her by the arm.
838
00:44:20,958 --> 00:44:24,621
And he fractured her skull when
he threw her against the wall.
839
00:44:27,264 --> 00:44:29,493
Now, the military calls that
840
00:44:29,565 --> 00:44:32,398
"conduct unbecoming
an officer."
841
00:44:33,236 --> 00:44:37,764
In this courtroom, we call it
murder in the second degree.
842
00:44:40,176 --> 00:44:41,905
Has the jury reached a verdict?
843
00:44:41,978 --> 00:44:43,639
Yes, we have, Your Honor.
844
00:44:55,591 --> 00:44:57,252
On the sole count
of the indictment,
845
00:44:57,326 --> 00:44:59,157
murder in the second degree,
846
00:44:59,228 --> 00:45:01,128
how does the jury find?
847
00:45:01,531 --> 00:45:03,624
We find the defendant guilty.
848
00:45:23,953 --> 00:45:26,387
The Navy cleared Walters
of all charges.
849
00:45:26,456 --> 00:45:29,152
Bunker spent 30 years
defending the Constitution.
850
00:45:29,225 --> 00:45:30,590
I wonder if he ever read it.
851
00:45:30,660 --> 00:45:33,788
I doubt he ever got past the
Declaration of Independence:
852
00:45:33,863 --> 00:45:35,989
"All men are created equal."
