won't force you to come up with a bad one  thank you sir this first one's for you  

seems you're moving up in the world been requested  by division requested to do what guantanamo bay  

cuba a marine corporal named dawson illegally  fires around from his weapon over the fence line  

and into cuban territory what's a fence line sam  a big wall separating the good guys from the bad  

guys teacher's pet pfc william santiago threatens  to rat on dawson the naval investigative service  

dawson and another member of his squad pfc  loudon downey go into santiago's room tie him up  

stuff a rag down his throat and an hour later  santiago's dead attending physicians says the rag  

was treated with some kind of toxin you poisoned  iraq not according to them what do they say not

cuba for the day to find out what you can meantime  go and see lieutenant commander joanne galloway  

with internal affairs any questions uh the flight  to cuba was that 0-600 in the morning sir seems  

important to division this would be handled by the  book so i'm assigning co-counsel any volunteers  

no sam sorry i got a stack of papers on my desk  about a minute work with kathy on this doing what  

caphill had this done in about four days doing  various administrative things backup whatever in  

other words i have no responsibilities  here whatsoever right my kind of case

right right okay but i've got  to have that report by wednesday

hi hold on hi daniel cafe  i was told to meet with uh

retired commander galloway

that a briefing i'll call you back

you're the attorney division assign  i'm the counselor sam weinberg  

i have no responsibilities here  whatsoever come in please have a seat

lieutenant how long have you been in the navy

going on nine months now and how long have you  been out of law school a little over a year i see  

have i done something wrong no it's just that  when i petitioned the vision to have counsel  

assignments hoping i would be taken seriously  no offense taken case you're wondering commander  

lieutenant cathy is generally considered the  best litigator in our office he's successfully  

plea bargained 44 cases in nine months one more i  get a set of stake knives have you ever been in a  

courtroom i once had my driver's license suspended  danny commander from what i understand if this  

thing goes to court they won't need a lawyer  they'll need a priest no they'll need a lawyer  

dawson's family's been contacted downey's closest  

living relative is jenny miller  his aunt on his mother's side  

she hasn't been contacted yet would you like me  to take care of that sure if you feel like it

one of the people we'll be seeing down there  is the barrack ceo colonel nathan jessup i  

assume you've heard of him who hasn't it he's  been in the papers lately he's expected to be  

appointed director of operations of national  security council really these are the letters  

that santiago wrote in his eight months at  gitmo that's guantanamo bay i knew that one he  

wrote to the fleet commander hq atlantic to the  commandant of the marine corps even as senator  

he wanted to be transferred off the base  no one was listening are you with me yeah

finally he wrote to the naval investigative  service where he offered information about  

corporal dawson's fence line  shooting in exchange for a transfer  

right is that all lieutenant this letter  makes it look like your client had a motive  

to kill santiago gotcha and santiago is who the  victim write that down am i correct and assuming  

that these letters don't paint a flattering  picture of marine corps life or guantanamo bay  

yes someone further right in assuming that  a protracted investigation of this incident  

might cause some embarrassment for the security  council guy colonel jessup 12 years i'm sorry  

i'll get them to drop the conspiracy  and conduct i'm becoming 12 years  

you haven't talked to a witness  or looked at a piece of paper  

pretty impressive huh you're gonna have to  go deeper than that commander do you have  

some sort of jurisdiction here that i should know  about my job is to make sure that you do your job  

i'm special counsel for internal affairs so  my jurisdiction's pretty much in your face  

read the letters i'll expect a report when  you return from cuba sure you're dismissed

i always forget that part

he's a little preoccupied the team's  playing bethesda medical next week  

tell your friend not to get cute down there
