Good morning Mrs. Kubik.

Hei.

Madam.

-Madam.

did you see that,

he just call me madam.

Shall we?

Yeah, let's get out of here.

So, I do not need any security

clearance for the pre-trial

portion.

Yes, exactly.

The only portion of the trial

that are classified or those

pertaining directly to the

incident in El Salvador.

I hope she didn't think I was

starring.

Who?

Your sister.

Well, don't worry about it,

she understand.

She is psychic.

Mr. Grimes decided to join us

after all.

Mrs. Kubik, Charlie has a

history of being a major drunk.

Are you sober, Mr. Grimes?

Pre-trial plan? Fill me in.

Pre-trial in 10.

What?

You don't think they'll be

impressed by leather?

Who is the judge?

Colonel Farrell.

Yeah, it would be.

Piss all over it because we are

civilian.

And he won't give a sh*t about

the reverses down the line.

Because he is about ready to

retire.

Have you file any motion?

I'll duly dismiss all charges

due to insufficient evidence.

Motion denied.

You haven't even read the

brief.

No doubt, neither has Farrell.

The whole military judicial

system is based on denial.

Can we fight the system?

No.

We play by the rule.

do not fight the system.

You fight the system,

you loose.

Isn't that right, Embry?

Say yes sir.

Yes, sir.

don't be a sap, Embry.

Nobody in uniform can think for

himself.

This is a pre-trial hearing.

The goal is to listen,

and not to reveal anything.

do we have anything to reveal,

Mrs. Kubik?

Claire.

-Claire?

No.

-No?

Than that ought to work.

Which one is the prosecutor?

We call them trial council.

Mrs. Kubik, I'm Major Waldron.

How do you do?

Hi, Luther.

Nice to see you.

Bullshit.

All rise.

Be sitted.

Court in session, call to

order.

I'm Colonel Farrell.

U.S. marine corps.

Where is the accuse?

Charlie Grimes.

I'll explain later.

Sergeant Chatman, you've seen

the charges against you,

how do you plea?

Before that, can you dismiss

all my client charges?

Motion denied.

Since you are unfamiliar with

system of our court.

We don't have clients here.

Sergeant Ron Chatman have been

accused, and I'm still waiting

for the plea.

I plea not guilty.

Not guilty.

You may be sitted.

The court rules does not allow

the accuse being represented by

his spouse.

Thank you, your honour.

Prosecutor request short

pre-trial period to ensure

security.

Granted.

Opening statement is scheduled

for 1 week from today.

Objection!

There's no way we can prepare

for defense in 1 week.

That is the rule. Are we done?

The defense has no intention

of waiving a public trial.

This case involved national

security and classified

information.

We would like to defend this
