been the shooter,

speaking, it's admissible

against the Mahdi Army.

named Robert Jones.

A name Indiana trusts.
181
00:07:20,768 --> 00:07:22,713
TREY: That's the Bobby Jones
we're looking for?
182
00:07:22,737 --> 00:07:25,315
He served in Iraq from '03 to '05.
183
00:07:25,339 --> 00:07:27,384
It was a huge part of his first campaign.
184
00:07:27,408 --> 00:07:30,988
Well, Christopher Cavello just
accused the sitting congressman
185
00:07:31,012 --> 00:07:34,013
from Indiana's third district of murder.

A name Indiana knows.
A name Indiana trusts.
189
00:07:48,611 --> 00:07:51,479
This is the Robert Jones
we're looking for?
190
00:07:51,504 --> 00:07:52,982
We triple-checked.
191
00:07:53,006 --> 00:07:54,683
Jones was the lieutenant in command
192
00:07:54,707 --> 00:07:56,352
of Christopher Cavello's platoon.
193
00:07:56,376 --> 00:07:58,047
He resigned his commission
194
00:07:58,071 --> 00:07:59,555
as a captain 12 years ago.
195
00:07:59,579 --> 00:08:01,557
Obviously, we retain
jurisdiction over anything
196
00:08:01,581 --> 00:08:03,526
that happened while Jones was serving.
197
00:08:03,550 --> 00:08:05,528
I am not going to refer charges
198
00:08:05,552 --> 00:08:08,432
based on Cavello's deathbed confession.
199
00:08:08,456 --> 00:08:10,498
He was delirious, and I'm sure
200
00:08:10,522 --> 00:08:12,900
morphine was somewhere in the equation.
201
00:08:12,924 --> 00:08:16,338
You need to get the other Marines
in his unit to corroborate.
202
00:08:16,362 --> 00:08:18,741
We could take a statement from
Jones. If it doesn't square with
203
00:08:18,765 --> 00:08:21,143
the other accounts of the day,
we could make hay with that.
204

- Are you registered to vote?
- Excuse me, ma'am?
205
00:08:23,203 --> 00:08:25,247
Is your address a matter
of public record?
206
00:08:25,271 --> 00:08:28,551
Have you contributed to
any political causes recently?
207
00:08:28,575 --> 00:08:29,985
Yes, to all of the above.
208
00:08:30,009 --> 00:08:32,054
The moment Congressman Jones
becomes aware
209
00:08:32,078 --> 00:08:33,656
that we are investigating his potential
210
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:35,658
in a possible homicide,
211
00:08:35,682 --> 00:08:38,381
that we're invoking our jurisdiction over
212
00:08:38,405 --> 00:08:41,397
a Marine captain who has been
back on the block
213
00:08:41,421 --> 00:08:45,034
for over a decade,
a machine will kick into gear
214
00:08:45,058 --> 00:08:47,670
that is designed to protect that man,
215
00:08:47,694 --> 00:08:49,705
and the first thing it's going to do
216
00:08:49,729 --> 00:08:53,042
is take a nice long look at you.
217
00:08:53,066 --> 00:08:54,910
What if I'm registered
to the same party Jones is?
218
00:08:54,934 --> 00:08:56,111
- Are you?
- You are?
219
00:08:56,135 --> 00:08:57,746
I don't want to know that.
220
00:08:57,770 --> 00:09:00,783
And even if you are, that
is not going to save you.
221
00:09:00,807 --> 00:09:03,419
Are you a shining example
of your party's values?
222
00:09:03,443 --> 00:09:06,534
The platonic ideal of all
they hope for in a voter?
223
00:09:06,558 --> 00:09:09,091
I mean, I've been told I have good hair.
224
00:09:09,115 --> 00:09:12,428
Wherever you fall short...
and you will...
225
00:09:12,452 --> 00:09:14,263
they will find it,
226
00:09:14,287 --> 00:09:18,367
and they will build a narrative
of bias around it.
227
00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:19,768
Sound fun?
228
00:09:20,835 --> 00:09:22,927
Maybe interview the platoon guys for now?

- We can start there.
- Should I work the phones?
231
00:09:28,401 --> 00:09:30,479
Actually, Lieutenant Li,
you're not on this.
232
00:09:30,503 --> 00:09:32,147
- Ma'am?
- You're from San Francisco.
233
00:09:32,171 --> 00:09:35,451
That is practically a
political stance of its own.
234
00:09:35,475 --> 00:09:38,520
I'm sorry, Harper.
If this becomes a thing,
235

you're a liability.

237
00:09:44,350 --> 00:09:45,961

there's a military discount.

Okay, great. Uh, there's
no actual price point

Well, he can tell you plenty
about September 2, 2004.
251
00:10:20,653 --> 00:10:24,033
He's positively expansive
on the subject of September 4th.

- And the 3rd?
- Total blank spot.

Lieutenant Robert Jones,
and what happened
267

September 3, 2004.

Cavello got sick a couple years ago,

but then I kind of
stopped hearing from him.
270

He was living on the street.
271
00:11:04,197 --> 00:11:06,141
Homeless?
272
00:11:06,165 --> 00:11:07,710

He saved most of our lives.
276

We didn't exactly have
the best leadership.
277
00:11:15,909 --> 00:11:17,152
He was a good Marine.

September 3, 2004?
Is Chris telling the truth?
281
00:11:25,551 --> 00:11:27,968
Did your lieutenant shoot
an Iraqi local that day?
282
00:11:27,992 --> 00:11:29,865
Man, that was a long time ago.
283
00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:34,169
This was the last thing
Christopher Cavello talked about.
284
00:11:34,719 --> 00:11:36,605
You're really gonna let his dying words

If Isiah Crowley doesn't
give us anything,
287
00:11:42,802 --> 00:11:44,046
that's the whole platoon.
288
00:11:44,070 --> 00:11:46,115
Not the whole platoon.

talk to Congressman Jones.
290

There's no new information.

Cavello's confession then,

we got nothing but
Cavello's confession now.

I know we can't
prove it yet, but come on.

What changes with a visit to Jones?
300
00:12:08,227 --> 00:12:10,439
It's like Turnbull said, there's
a playbook for this stuff.
301
00:12:10,463 --> 00:12:12,107
If we go to Jones and tell him
that we're looking at him
302
00:12:12,131 --> 00:12:15,477
for a shooting based on the
testimony of Christopher Cavello,
303
00:12:15,501 --> 00:12:17,880
what's the first thing Jones
and his advisors are gonna do?
304
00:12:17,904 --> 00:12:19,948
Smear Cavello, make sure
the confession doesn't stick.
305
00:12:19,972 --> 00:12:21,550
And how do you think that's
gonna sit with Tico?
306
00:12:21,574 --> 00:12:24,119
You want to provoke
an attack against Cavello
307
00:12:24,143 --> 00:12:25,721
to get Tico to tell the truth?
308
00:12:25,745 --> 00:12:27,631
It works or it doesn't.
What do we got to lose?
309
00:12:27,655 --> 00:12:29,557
Were you in that meeting
with the colonel?

00:12:29,581 --> 00:12:32,227

311
00:12:32,251 --> 00:12:33,629
if he was just some guy
312
00:12:33,653 --> 00:12:35,297
who maybe committed cold-blooded murder,
313
00:12:35,681 --> 00:12:37,548
what would we do then?
314
00:12:39,525 --> 00:12:43,439
MAYA: My opponent has me clean
licked when it comes to

better than I do.

00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:49,178

319
00:12:51,003 --> 00:12:53,415
He doesn't know Carteret County.
320
00:12:53,439 --> 00:12:55,484
He doesn't know Hoke County.
321
00:12:55,508 --> 00:12:57,686
If it happens outside of Raleigh-Durham,
322
00:12:57,710 --> 00:13:00,656

to know about it.

- Thanks.

- Yeah.

00:14:05,044 --> 00:14:06,655
- and ten volunteers.
- You're doing it.

00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,046
- Doing what?
- You're making a thing out of it.

I'll be right back.
358
00:14:17,444 --> 00:14:18,621
Does he really need that?
359
00:14:18,938 --> 00:14:20,738
No one's spying on us.
360
00:14:24,197 --> 00:14:26,608
JONES: What can I do for you gentlemen?
361
00:14:26,632 --> 00:14:28,777
A Marine who served under your command
362
00:14:28,801 --> 00:14:30,133
passed away yesterday.
363
00:14:30,157 --> 00:14:31,947
Christopher Cavello?
364
00:14:31,971 --> 00:14:33,240
I heard Cavello was sick,
365
00:14:33,264 --> 00:14:35,717
but no one could find him.
366
00:14:35,741 --> 00:14:37,452
Two hours before he died,
367
00:14:37,476 --> 00:14:39,922
he recorded a statement
claiming he witnessed a murder
368
00:14:39,946 --> 00:14:41,557
in An-Najaf.
369
00:14:41,581 --> 00:14:42,925
What kind of murder?
370
00:14:43,241 --> 00:14:46,128
Cavello said his platoon commander
371
00:14:46,152 --> 00:14:47,930
shot an Iraqi in the head
372
00:14:47,954 --> 00:14:51,033
on September 3, 2004.
373
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,403
That's you, Congressman Jones.
374
00:14:54,427 --> 00:14:57,428
Yeah, I'm aware of that, Major.
375
00:14:59,398 --> 00:15:03,412
I mean, he's wrong, of course.
376
00:15:03,436 --> 00:15:05,814
The only Iraqis I killed were the enemy.
377
00:15:05,838 --> 00:15:08,383
And you're confident the other
members of your platoon
378
00:15:08,407 --> 00:15:09,985
would say the same thing?
379
00:15:10,009 --> 00:15:11,620
You're taking this seriously?
380
00:15:11,644 --> 00:15:13,722
Cavello's statement
was a deathbed confession.
381
00:15:13,746 --> 00:15:15,924
This is due diligence.
382

383
00:15:17,016 --> 00:15:19,027
Of course, they'll say the same thing.
384
00:15:20,820 --> 00:15:25,142
Cavello was... struggling, right?
385
00:15:25,166 --> 00:15:28,103
He was living on the street
before he died, yes.
386
00:15:28,127 --> 00:15:31,080
Alcohol? Drugs?
387
00:15:32,198 --> 00:15:33,564
We don't know.
388
00:15:36,077 --> 00:15:38,347
I don't know if Cavello was manipulated
389
00:15:38,371 --> 00:15:40,415
by someone with an agenda, or if he had
390
00:15:40,439 --> 00:15:43,819
a mental health thing going on.
391
00:15:43,843 --> 00:15:45,954
I'll pray for him tonight either way.
392
00:15:45,978 --> 00:15:50,981

to bother you again, ma'am.

I told you, do not talk to Jones.
399
00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:10,812
Strictly speaking, ma'am,
you advised us that
400
00:16:10,836 --> 00:16:13,181
it wouldn't be in our
best interest to go see him.
401
00:16:13,205 --> 00:16:15,684
And why did you ignore my advice?
402
00:16:15,708 --> 00:16:17,886
We didn't. We only went
to see Congressman Jones
403
00:16:17,910 --> 00:16:21,490
after there were certain changes
in the informational landscape.
404
00:16:21,514 --> 00:16:23,292
Did you just say
"informational landscape"?
405
00:16:23,316 --> 00:16:24,758
He sure did.

GLEN: Actually, it came in
through Major Ferry's office.
409
00:16:30,523 --> 00:16:33,402
Someone named Gustavo Antico?
410
00:16:33,426 --> 00:16:35,070
He says it has to do with the shooting.
411
00:16:35,094 --> 00:16:36,479
- We'll take it.
- Put him through.

- TICO: I'm here.

00:16:44,918 --> 00:16:46,695
That's wrong. He was my friend.
416
00:16:46,719 --> 00:16:47,983
Who's saying that?
417
00:16:48,007 --> 00:16:49,985
Jones, and one of the other guys
from my platoon.
418
00:16:50,009 --> 00:16:51,643
They're gonna smear Cavello's name
419
00:16:51,667 --> 00:16:53,288
so this dies straight away.
420
00:16:53,312 --> 00:16:54,523
I'm not gonna let 'em.
421
00:16:54,547 --> 00:16:56,024
Is there something you want
to tell us, Tico?
422
00:16:56,048 --> 00:16:58,760
Lieutenant Jones, Congressman Jones...
423
00:16:58,784 --> 00:17:00,262
Jones killed that man.
424
00:17:00,286 --> 00:17:01,518
Shot him right in the head.
425
00:17:02,948 --> 00:17:04,481
Okay, thank you, Tico.
426
00:17:08,027 --> 00:17:11,039
Apprehend Congressman Jones.

00:17:11,063 --> 00:17:14,225
And be ready for what comes next.
428
00:17:19,081 --> 00:17:20,455
Good afternoon, Captain Abraham.
429
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:21,987
Major Ferry asked me to tell you that
430
00:17:22,011 --> 00:17:24,243
he's already started witness
prep with Gustavo Antico.
431
00:17:24,267 --> 00:17:25,644
Thank you, Rami.
432
00:17:25,668 --> 00:17:28,114
You may want to, uh, brace
yourself before you join him.
433
00:17:28,138 --> 00:17:30,049
Brace myself for what,
the prospect of walking
434
00:17:30,073 --> 00:17:31,491
into my workplace?
435
00:17:32,242 --> 00:17:33,686
Who's the sparring partner?
436
00:17:33,710 --> 00:17:35,054
RAMI: That's Colonel Wesley Riggle.
437
00:17:35,078 --> 00:17:36,622
He's the current commander
of Congressman Jones's
438
00:17:36,646 --> 00:17:37,957
former battalion.
439
00:17:37,981 --> 00:17:40,059
Which, of course, makes him
the convening authority
440
00:17:40,083 --> 00:17:41,694
in any potential court-martial.
441
00:17:41,718 --> 00:17:44,130
And Colonel Riggle is less
than enthusiastic about
442
00:17:44,154 --> 00:17:46,132
referring charges against
a sitting congressman
443
00:17:46,156 --> 00:17:47,867
for something that happened 15 years ago?
444
00:17:47,891 --> 00:17:49,235
I can't hear what they're saying,
445
00:17:49,259 --> 00:17:50,569
but at no point in the last 20 minutes
446
00:17:50,593 --> 00:17:53,471
has the colonel appeared
to be anything but truculent.
447
00:17:54,230 --> 00:17:55,808
I'd have gone with "bellicose" myself.
448
00:17:55,832 --> 00:17:57,243
I considered bellicose, sir.
449
00:17:57,267 --> 00:17:58,611
In my opinion, there are
subtle differences.
450
00:17:58,635 --> 00:18:00,146
We got two witnesses. There's no way
451
00:18:00,170 --> 00:18:01,480
the convening authority invokes his right
452
00:18:01,504 --> 00:18:02,615
to kill the court-martial.
453
00:18:02,639 --> 00:18:04,216
I agree that it would be an unusual step,
454
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,235
but Colonel Riggle seems
unusually truculent.
455
00:18:10,355 --> 00:18:11,684
When I said brace yourself, sir,
456
00:18:11,708 --> 00:18:15,283
I meant to prepare for the possibility
that there's no case at all.
457
00:18:23,179 --> 00:18:25,070
You are going to court-martial.
458
00:18:26,212 --> 00:18:27,940
I'm impressed.
459
00:18:27,964 --> 00:18:30,176
That didn't look like two people
coming to an agreement.
460
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,246
Colonel Riggle was very
curious about my voting record.
461
00:18:34,638 --> 00:18:35,981
Why does that keep coming up?
462
00:18:36,005 --> 00:18:37,183
Congressman Jones
463
00:18:37,207 --> 00:18:38,851
either murdered this guy or he didn't.
464
00:18:38,875 --> 00:18:43,042
Hmm. Welcome to 2019, Captain Abraham.
465
00:18:43,066 --> 00:18:46,325
We'll leave the light on for you
in case you decide to stay.
466
00:18:46,349 --> 00:18:49,195
I pushed it through
by reminding the colonel
467
00:18:49,219 --> 00:18:51,363
that as convening authority,
he gets to appoint
468
00:18:51,387 --> 00:18:53,666
both the judge and
the members of the panel.
469
00:18:53,690 --> 00:18:57,469
He has considerable influence
over potential proceedings.
470
00:18:58,553 --> 00:19:00,806
So you reminded him that he
could put his thumb on the scale
471
00:19:00,830 --> 00:19:02,875
and make our jobs as hard as he wants to.
472
00:19:02,899 --> 00:19:04,176
Be glad you got that much.
473
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,011
He came here to kill the whole thing.
474
00:19:06,035 --> 00:19:07,546
How's your case?
475
00:19:07,570 --> 00:19:10,549
The victim, Kadir Fa'iz,
his death is officially listed
476
00:19:10,573 --> 00:19:13,819
as accidental, but there are
no details other than that.
477
00:19:13,843 --> 00:19:16,388
That's fishy, so Trey and I
can make some hay there.
478
00:19:16,412 --> 00:19:18,791
Cavello's confession
hits hard, you've seen it.
479
00:19:18,815 --> 00:19:21,706
Once the fireworks show starts,
it'll be him and Gustavo Antico
480
00:19:21,730 --> 00:19:23,662
versus the other members of the platoon.
481
00:19:23,686 --> 00:19:26,176
And how does Lance Corporal Antico
482
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,042
stack up as a witness?
483
00:19:28,066 --> 00:19:29,969
Well, he has trouble staying on script.
484
00:19:29,993 --> 00:19:32,204
I had to keep reminding him
to call the victim by name,
485
00:19:32,228 --> 00:19:36,141
and he gets defensive any time
I try to give him guidance.
486
00:19:36,165 --> 00:19:37,576
Hopefully it's jitters.
487
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:38,811
If he's nervous here,
488
00:19:38,835 --> 00:19:41,046
it's gonna be worse on the stand.
489
00:19:41,070 --> 00:19:44,583
And Congressman Jones
has hired private counsel.
490
00:19:44,607 --> 00:19:47,585
You'll be going up against Martin DeWitt.
491
00:19:48,111 --> 00:19:50,588
Yes, it's nice to have
friends with money.

497
00:20:03,059 --> 00:20:07,006
Dereliction of duty,
failure to obey an order,
498
00:20:07,030 --> 00:20:10,650
insubordination, and a
later charge of adultery.

500
00:20:13,136 --> 00:20:14,346
That's what I thought at first,
501
00:20:14,370 --> 00:20:15,581
but everyone says he's outstanding.
502
00:20:15,605 --> 00:20:17,549
So I dug some more.
503
00:20:17,573 --> 00:20:20,452
Turns out he was having an affair,
504
00:20:20,476 --> 00:20:23,370
with the wife of his captain,
who's his direct report.
505
00:20:23,394 --> 00:20:24,690
I confirmed it.
506
00:20:24,714 --> 00:20:27,876

other charges are a vendetta?

without being insubordinate,

if his wife was sleeping around?
513
00:20:40,797 --> 00:20:44,434
I did something harder.
I went to the wife.

MATT (OVER PHONE): Are we doing this?
528
00:21:22,004 --> 00:21:23,182
Matty?
529
00:21:23,206 --> 00:21:24,416
Addison ran out to get food,
530
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:25,951
but I start fading
about an hour after dinner.
531
00:21:25,975 --> 00:21:28,620
I told you I had to work late.
What's with the local number?
532
00:21:28,644 --> 00:21:30,656
I, uh, lost track of my cell.
533
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,158
Really? Because you didn't have
it the other day when I called
534
00:21:33,182 --> 00:21:34,259
your office either.
535
00:21:34,283 --> 00:21:36,462
- Did you get rid of your phone?
- No.
536
00:21:36,486 --> 00:21:38,197
Remind me what meds you're taking now.
537
00:21:38,221 --> 00:21:40,866
- Maya, come on.
- Come on, yourself, Matty.
538
00:21:40,890 --> 00:21:43,135
The Faraday bag, the burner phones.
539
00:21:43,159 --> 00:21:44,703
You're acting like the bad old days.
540
00:21:44,727 --> 00:21:46,138
You're right. I've been tense.
541
00:21:46,162 --> 00:21:49,274
I fell back on some of my old
stuff, but I know there's no one
542
00:21:49,298 --> 00:21:50,809
- watching me.
- What's your medication?
543
00:21:51,376 --> 00:21:53,512
Risperidone. Vortioxetine.
544
00:21:53,536 --> 00:21:55,881
- And are you taking it?
- Yes, I'm taking it.
545
00:21:55,905 --> 00:21:57,883
- Are you coming or what?
- Don't worry.
546
00:21:57,907 --> 00:21:59,974
We'll get your full session of prep.
547
00:22:02,078 --> 00:22:03,989
Welcome to Quantico, Mr. DeWitt.
548
00:22:04,013 --> 00:22:05,524
Thank you, Your Honor.
549
00:22:05,548 --> 00:22:06,992
It's a privilege to have an attorney
550
00:22:07,016 --> 00:22:08,726
of your stature with us.
551
00:22:09,519 --> 00:22:10,896
Now let's discuss this brief.
552
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,665
The official font of this
courtroom is Helvetica 12,
553
00:22:13,689 --> 00:22:16,034
not Times New Roman, and not,
554
00:22:16,058 --> 00:22:18,337
as you seem to believe, Courier.
555
00:22:18,361 --> 00:22:19,505
Why Courier?
556
00:22:19,529 --> 00:22:20,906
The convening authority
557
00:22:20,930 --> 00:22:22,708
stacked the deck against us
by picking Pace?
558
00:22:22,732 --> 00:22:25,043
- Yeah, why?
- Nothing, it's just...
559
00:22:25,067 --> 00:22:27,679
not so long ago, we weren't
supposed to ask or tell
560
00:22:27,703 --> 00:22:29,081
on the subject of Major Pace.
561
00:22:29,105 --> 00:22:31,350
Log Cabin. Pace is married
562
00:22:31,374 --> 00:22:34,553
to a baritone, but his politics
are as old-school as it gets.
563
00:22:34,577 --> 00:22:36,671
Comment, Captain Abraham?
564
00:22:38,047 --> 00:22:40,159
Just remarking how much I appreciate
565
00:22:40,183 --> 00:22:42,135
the clean lines of Helvetica, Your Honor.
566
00:22:43,786 --> 00:22:45,364
To the members of the panel,
567
00:22:45,388 --> 00:22:47,099
you are to consider all the evidence,
568
00:22:47,123 --> 00:22:49,334
which doesn't mean you must necessarily
569
00:22:49,358 --> 00:22:50,903
believe all the evidence.
570
00:22:50,927 --> 00:22:53,205
You need not, for example, consider
571
00:22:53,229 --> 00:22:55,841
a deathbed recording more credible
572
00:22:55,865 --> 00:22:57,943
than testimony that
unfolds here before you.
573
00:22:57,967 --> 00:23:01,213
Why not just call Cavello a liar?
574
00:23:01,237 --> 00:23:02,614
TICO: We dragged Fa'iz
575
00:23:02,638 --> 00:23:04,183
out of the building.
576
00:23:04,207 --> 00:23:06,539
Everybody was mad about
the corpsman that got shot,
577
00:23:06,563 --> 00:23:11,290
but Cavello was shouting at us
not to kill Fa'iz.
578
00:23:11,314 --> 00:23:13,414
Lieutenant Jones ordered us
back to the Humvee,
579
00:23:13,438 --> 00:23:15,928
but some of the guys didn't
move. When I turned to go,
580
00:23:15,952 --> 00:23:19,198
I heard a shot, I turned back.
581
00:23:19,222 --> 00:23:21,867
Lieutenant Jones still
had his weapon drawn.
582
00:23:21,891 --> 00:23:23,569
Fa'iz was dead.
583
00:23:23,593 --> 00:23:25,037
TREY: Is there any doubt in your mind
584
00:23:25,061 --> 00:23:27,039
that Captain Jones shot Kadir Fa'iz?
585
00:23:27,063 --> 00:23:29,997
No, sir. Absolutely none.
586
00:23:32,235 --> 00:23:34,613
Tico did good. Let's hope he
sticks to the script on cross.
587
00:23:34,637 --> 00:23:36,081
It's only the ball game.
588
00:23:36,105 --> 00:23:39,218
Mr. Antico, I want you
to be clear and precise,
589
00:23:39,242 --> 00:23:41,286
so there's no confusion for the court.
590
00:23:41,310 --> 00:23:44,957
Did you see Captain Jones
shoot the enemy combatant?
591
00:23:44,981 --> 00:23:46,959
Objection. The victim was a human being
592
00:23:46,983 --> 00:23:48,961
named Kadir Fa'iz.
It was never established
593
00:23:48,985 --> 00:23:50,411
that he was an enemy combatant.
594
00:23:51,205 --> 00:23:52,598
I'll rephrase, Your Honor.
595
00:23:52,622 --> 00:23:55,667
Did you see Captain Jones
596
00:23:55,691 --> 00:23:57,269
shoot the Iraqi national?
597
00:23:57,293 --> 00:23:58,637
No, sir.
598
00:23:58,661 --> 00:24:00,105
I see.
599
00:24:00,129 --> 00:24:02,574
And at any point during
your service or after,
600
00:24:02,598 --> 00:24:04,977
did you hear Lance Corporal Cavello
601
00:24:05,001 --> 00:24:06,945
complain about his commanding officer?
602
00:24:06,969 --> 00:24:09,848
- Of course.
- So that's a yes.
603
00:24:09,872 --> 00:24:11,283
And is it
604
00:24:11,307 --> 00:24:15,787
fair to say that Lance Corporal Cavello
605
00:24:15,811 --> 00:24:18,731
had a grudge against Captain Jones?
606
00:24:20,383 --> 00:24:22,027
Mr. Antico?
607
00:24:23,069 --> 00:24:24,520
I guess.
608
00:24:24,544 --> 00:24:27,833
So Christopher Cavello,
a man of questionable character,
609
00:24:27,857 --> 00:24:30,836
living on the streets,
610
00:24:30,860 --> 00:24:34,640
lobs an accusation against Bobby Jones,
611
00:24:34,664 --> 00:24:36,775
member of Congress,
612
00:24:36,799 --> 00:24:40,779
a man who's had the success
in life that Cavello never did,
613
00:24:41,129 --> 00:24:44,206
and you backed Cavello's play.
614
00:24:44,231 --> 00:24:46,718
Mm. Why?
615
00:24:46,742 --> 00:24:51,023
Chris Cavello respected
the chain of command.
616
00:24:51,047 --> 00:24:52,457
He respected the Corps.
617
00:24:52,481 --> 00:24:54,491
(QUIETLY): Stick to the script, Tico.
618
00:24:54,515 --> 00:24:57,162
TICO: Cavello got sick,
and he fell through the cracks.
619
00:24:57,186 --> 00:25:01,033
His character wasn't questionable.
620
00:25:01,057 --> 00:25:03,335
Please answer the question, Mr. Antico.
621
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,236
I'm answering your question.
622
00:25:05,928 --> 00:25:08,574
I backed Cavello's play
because he was a good Marine
623
00:25:08,598 --> 00:25:10,042
and a man of God.
624
00:25:10,066 --> 00:25:13,545
If Christopher Cavello
said he saw Robert Jones
625
00:25:13,569 --> 00:25:15,581
shoot Kadir Fa'iz,
626
00:25:15,605 --> 00:25:17,049
that is exactly what happened.
627
00:25:17,073 --> 00:25:19,418
And you dishonor the sacrifices
628
00:25:19,442 --> 00:25:21,687
that Christopher Cavello
made for this country
629
00:25:21,711 --> 00:25:24,311
when you try to drag his name
down into the political mud.
630
00:25:26,883 --> 00:25:28,649
Your client murdered someone.
631
00:25:36,392 --> 00:25:38,370
No further questions, Your Honor.
632
00:25:38,394 --> 00:25:40,172
Did I say, "Stick to the script, Tico"?
633
00:25:40,196 --> 00:25:42,941
Because I meant, "Do whatever
it is you just did."
634
00:25:42,965 --> 00:25:44,676
Government rests, Your Honor.
635
00:25:45,672 --> 00:25:47,968
Mr. DeWitt? (CLEARS THROAT)
636
00:25:50,073 --> 00:25:52,072
Mr. DeWitt.
637
00:25:54,243 --> 00:25:56,254
Can we trouble you to present a case?
638
00:25:56,662 --> 00:26:00,666
Your Honor, we request a short recess.
639
00:26:03,653 --> 00:26:06,297
My name is Blaise Morales. I am...
640
00:26:07,089 --> 00:26:08,367
I was the staff sergeant
641
00:26:08,391 --> 00:26:10,736
with the congressman's platoon in 2004.
642
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,471
DEWITT: And you were on patrol with him
643
00:26:12,495 --> 00:26:13,905
September 3rd of that year?
644
00:26:13,929 --> 00:26:15,374
BLAISE: I was.
645
00:26:15,398 --> 00:26:19,700
Can you tell me what happened
after your corpsman was shot?
646
00:26:21,437 --> 00:26:23,715
Our rifleman fired an M203 into the house
647
00:26:23,739 --> 00:26:25,884
where the shot came from. We went in,
648
00:26:25,908 --> 00:26:28,220
and a couple of us
carried an Iraqi local out.
649
00:26:28,244 --> 00:26:30,309
I thought this guy
didn't remember anything.
650
00:26:30,333 --> 00:26:33,425
This man has been
identified as Kadir Fa'iz.
651
00:26:33,449 --> 00:26:35,293
Now, why did you carry him?
652
00:26:35,317 --> 00:26:37,896
His right leg was blown off.
653
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,465
He was bleeding real bad.
654
00:26:40,489 --> 00:26:42,334
He begged us, begged for mercy.
655
00:26:42,358 --> 00:26:43,735
That's why the lieutenant did it.
656
00:26:43,759 --> 00:26:45,103
- Objection.
- DEWITT: Did what?
657
00:26:45,127 --> 00:26:47,906
That's why he shot Kadir Fa'iz.
658
00:26:47,930 --> 00:26:50,030
(GALLERY MURMURING)
659
00:26:54,704 --> 00:26:56,537
(GAVEL BANGING)
660
00:26:59,212 --> 00:27:01,847
Mr. DeWitt, the documents I saw...
661
00:27:01,871 --> 00:27:04,969
none of which were submitted in
the correct font, by the way...
662
00:27:04,993 --> 00:27:07,826
described witnesses
who couldn't remember anything
663
00:27:07,850 --> 00:27:09,261
about the incident in question.
664
00:27:09,285 --> 00:27:10,529
Yes, Your Honor.
665
00:27:10,553 --> 00:27:14,266
On reflection, some details
became clear to Mr. Morales.
666
00:27:14,290 --> 00:27:15,868
Details that just happen to plant
667
00:27:15,892 --> 00:27:18,136
the concept of a mercy killing
in the panel's mind?
668
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,838
The government's central
witness was obviously
669
00:27:19,862 --> 00:27:22,040
more compelling than Mr. DeWitt
expected him to be,
670
00:27:22,064 --> 00:27:24,476
so now he's trying this bad-faith pivot.
671
00:27:24,500 --> 00:27:27,379
Mr. Morales had a sudden rush of memory.
672
00:27:27,403 --> 00:27:28,814
- It happens.
- Your Honor,
673
00:27:28,838 --> 00:27:30,816
there's no court in the
free world that considers mercy
674
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,150
a defense for murder.
675
00:27:32,174 --> 00:27:34,386
Correct, Captain Abraham, and I plan
676
00:27:34,410 --> 00:27:36,121
to instruct the panel to that effect.
677
00:27:36,145 --> 00:27:37,522
Due respect, Your Honor,
678
00:27:37,546 --> 00:27:39,124
but your instructions may not matter.
679
00:27:39,148 --> 00:27:40,525
The defense clearly anticipated
680
00:27:40,549 --> 00:27:42,961
your reaction, just as they
clearly anticipated
681
00:27:42,985 --> 00:27:45,030
that a panel of Marines
are going to be reluctant
682
00:27:45,054 --> 00:27:47,299
to convict an officer
for a so-called mercy killing
683
00:27:47,323 --> 00:27:48,500
15 years after the fact.
684
00:27:48,524 --> 00:27:51,036
That is textbook panel nullification.
685
00:27:51,060 --> 00:27:52,871
They bring in a verdict of "not guilty"
686
00:27:52,895 --> 00:27:55,107
based on evidence they were
instructed to ignore,
687
00:27:55,131 --> 00:27:56,375
and the defense's pursuit of this
688
00:27:56,399 --> 00:27:58,911
calls for a new slate of members
to hear this proceeding.
689
00:27:58,935 --> 00:28:00,803
- Oh, that's ridiculous.
- PACE: Quiet!
690
00:28:00,827 --> 00:28:02,269
All of you.
691
00:28:04,332 --> 00:28:07,418
We're not gathering a new panel.
692
00:28:10,713 --> 00:28:13,191
Would you ask your client if he
will agree to a waiver
693
00:28:13,215 --> 00:28:14,559
to the statute of limitations?
694
00:28:14,583 --> 00:28:18,163
The statute of limitations
on what? Manslaughter?
695
00:28:18,187 --> 00:28:20,165
You're laying the path
for the panel to convict
696
00:28:20,189 --> 00:28:21,566
on a lesser included offense.
697
00:28:21,590 --> 00:28:23,502
If you're concerned
the panel won't convict
698
00:28:23,526 --> 00:28:25,370
Congressman Jones of murder,
699
00:28:25,394 --> 00:28:27,706
why not give them the option
to convict of manslaughter?
700
00:28:27,730 --> 00:28:29,541
Because Bobby Jones murdered someone.
701
00:28:29,565 --> 00:28:31,076
And if you present the panel
702

00:37:27,269 --> 00:37:28,814
Interesting.
878
00:37:28,838 --> 00:37:31,023
- Must have been quite a view.
- Mm.
879
00:37:31,941 --> 00:37:34,675
- Shut the door.
- (DOOR CLOSES)
880
00:37:37,488 --> 00:37:39,825
That's Sergeant Wojslaw Nowitski.
881
00:37:39,849 --> 00:37:42,327
He saw everything that
happened through his scope.
882
00:37:42,351 --> 00:37:45,330
He saw Bobby Jones kill Kadir Fa'iz.
883
00:37:45,830 --> 00:37:49,768
You two are in violation of
Article 89 of the UCMJ,
884
00:37:49,792 --> 00:37:52,404
disrespect toward a superior officer.
885
00:37:52,428 --> 00:37:54,139
I'm having you both
apprehended right now.
886
00:37:54,163 --> 00:37:57,075
Fa'iz surrendered to Jones,
put both hands in the air,
887
00:37:57,099 --> 00:37:58,610
but Jones just shot him in the head.
888
00:37:58,634 --> 00:37:59,978
It was murder.
889
00:38:00,002 --> 00:38:02,514
Bobby Jones takes care
of the Marine Corps in Congress.
890
00:38:02,538 --> 00:38:04,816
- Our budget...
- Bobby Jones was a terrible Marine.
891
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,751
Stumbled his way through his commission
892
00:38:06,775 --> 00:38:08,320
while his staff sergeant ran the show.
893
00:38:08,344 --> 00:38:09,921
And now he wants to ruin
the name of a Marine
894
00:38:09,945 --> 00:38:11,832
- who actually did his job?
- This is over.
895
00:38:11,870 --> 00:38:13,925
You can't try Jones for murder again.
896
00:38:13,949 --> 00:38:15,426
If you charge him with anything else,
897
00:38:15,450 --> 00:38:18,988
he'll have the same
convening authority... me.
898
00:38:19,622 --> 00:38:22,300
Polish GROM submitted a report
of what Nowitski saw.
899
00:38:23,634 --> 00:38:25,470
Do you recognize the
signature of the officer
900
00:38:25,494 --> 00:38:26,912
who received this statement?
901
00:38:27,863 --> 00:38:30,831
Wesley Riggle, Major, USMC.
902
00:38:32,067 --> 00:38:34,145
You were the liaison
to multinational forces
903
00:38:34,169 --> 00:38:35,963
at Division in Al Asad.
904
00:38:36,839 --> 00:38:38,617
Why'd you bury that report, sir?
905
00:38:38,641 --> 00:38:40,607
I didn't bury anything.
906
00:38:41,844 --> 00:38:42,821
We were fighting a war.
907
00:38:42,845 --> 00:38:43,989
So it wasn't intentional,
908
00:38:44,013 --> 00:38:46,157
you were just ineffective in command?
909
00:38:46,181 --> 00:38:47,292
Watch your tone, Captain.
910
00:38:47,316 --> 00:38:48,526
I'm not on trial here.
911
00:38:48,550 --> 00:38:50,862
Not yet. Sir.
912
00:38:50,886 --> 00:38:52,276
As for Jones,
913
00:38:52,300 --> 00:38:55,667
he instructed the men he
commanded to lie under oath.
914
00:38:55,691 --> 00:38:57,402
You'll be busy defending
yourself in court.
915
00:38:57,426 --> 00:38:59,504
So we'll be getting a different
916
00:38:59,528 --> 00:39:02,329
convening authority when we
charge him with conspiracy.
917
00:39:07,703 --> 00:39:10,882
A 134... carrying a concealed
weapon; another 134
918
00:39:10,906 --> 00:39:12,851
for impersonating an officer;
919
00:39:12,875 --> 00:39:15,687
one misprision of a serious
offense; two 89s...
920
00:39:15,711 --> 00:39:17,344
And a partridge in a pear tree.
921
00:39:18,447 --> 00:39:20,392
That's the last of Talley's caseload.
922
00:39:21,384 --> 00:39:22,927
Thank you, Captain.
923
00:39:23,452 --> 00:39:25,485
You are an outstanding attorney.
924
00:39:27,122 --> 00:39:28,867
I wanted to tell you that,
925
00:39:28,891 --> 00:39:32,070
despite Lieutenant Colonel Talley's
926
00:39:32,094 --> 00:39:34,105
recommendation,
927
00:39:34,129 --> 00:39:36,107
I'm going in a different direction
928
00:39:36,131 --> 00:39:37,464
for Senior Defense Counsel.
929
00:39:38,901 --> 00:39:42,080
As I said, you are an
asset to your department,
930
00:39:42,104 --> 00:39:43,415
and I fully expect you
931
00:39:43,439 --> 00:39:45,951
to take on a leadership
role at some point.
932
00:39:46,742 --> 00:39:50,077
I would like to see you grow
as a manager before you do.
933
00:39:51,831 --> 00:39:54,166
Is there something that you
would like to say, Captain?
934
00:39:55,793 --> 00:39:57,417
No.
935
00:39:59,460 --> 00:40:01,132
Dismissed.
936
00:40:03,926 --> 00:40:05,203
If I may be candid, ma'am,
937
00:40:05,227 --> 00:40:06,871
I don't think there's a lawyer
938
00:40:06,895 --> 00:40:08,740
in our department who's more qualified.
939
00:40:08,764 --> 00:40:12,699
I am not filling the position
from within your department.
940
00:40:13,802 --> 00:40:15,207
May I ask...?
941
00:40:15,231 --> 00:40:16,748
I will be speaking
942
00:40:16,772 --> 00:40:20,317
to my choice as soon as we're done here.
943
00:40:25,460 --> 00:40:27,093
How old are you?
944
00:40:28,325 --> 00:40:29,961
Thirty-three.
945
00:40:29,985 --> 00:40:31,830
Have you ever had to struggle
for anything?
946
00:40:32,580 --> 00:40:34,374
I am an officer.
947
00:40:34,398 --> 00:40:36,835
I was summa cum laude
at Carolina law school.
948
00:40:36,859 --> 00:40:38,236
I'm not talking about hard work.
949
00:40:38,260 --> 00:40:41,639
I'm talking about struggle.
950
00:40:42,131 --> 00:40:43,808
I don't know, ma'am.
951
00:40:44,152 --> 00:40:45,919
Might be good for you.
952
00:40:48,303 --> 00:40:49,914
NEWSWOMAN: It was
a dramatic scene today as,
953
00:40:49,938 --> 00:40:52,393
just one day after his acquittal
for murder,
954
00:40:52,417 --> 00:40:54,019
Congressman Bobby Jones was arrested
955
00:40:54,043 --> 00:40:55,353
- on conspiracy charges.
- Lots of reporters.
956
00:40:55,377 --> 00:40:57,336
Almost like somebody tipped them off.
957
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,190
Hmm. News says Jones's party
958
00:40:59,214 --> 00:41:01,126
is already calling on him to resign.
959
00:41:01,150 --> 00:41:03,828
We still got to put him
away for conspiracy.
960
00:41:03,852 --> 00:41:05,530
Uh, two of the guys
in his platoon flipped
961
00:41:05,554 --> 00:41:07,198
the second we waved charges at them.
962
00:41:07,222 --> 00:41:09,701
Game over. You sank his battleship.
963
00:41:10,284 --> 00:41:12,426
We sank his battleship.
964
00:41:15,030 --> 00:41:18,763
Listen, uh, these next few months,
965
00:41:18,787 --> 00:41:20,520
I'm gonna come in early
966
00:41:21,462 --> 00:41:23,548
and handle your paperwork for you.
967
00:41:23,572 --> 00:41:25,016
Early? You?
968
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,551
Why would you do that?
969
00:41:26,575 --> 00:41:28,520
I want you to take two mornings a week
970
00:41:28,545 --> 00:41:30,855
and work on your biography.
971
00:41:30,879 --> 00:41:34,159
I've watched you scrimp for years.
972
00:41:34,183 --> 00:41:36,127
Carpools. Bagged lunches.
973
00:41:36,151 --> 00:41:38,318
Hideous domestic beers.
974
00:41:39,980 --> 00:41:41,421
You sacrificed.
975
00:41:42,491 --> 00:41:44,169
That shouldn't just go poof.
976
00:41:44,193 --> 00:41:46,004
That's incredibly thoughtful of you.
977
00:41:46,654 --> 00:41:48,706
Don't put me up for sainthood
or anything.
978
00:41:48,730 --> 00:41:51,042
I just want to read the story
of Reeves Bass.
979
00:41:51,066 --> 00:41:53,711
Bass Reeves. That's why you
need to write the book.
980
00:41:53,735 --> 00:41:55,329
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
981
00:41:57,172 --> 00:41:58,816
As you were, Captain Abraham.
982
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:00,213
Major Ferry.
983
00:42:00,237 --> 00:42:02,442
I'd like to speak to you in my office.
