High Crimes Page #2

Everybody went nuts.

So they call up my unit,

detachment 27,

to locate the rebel leader who

is responsible.

He is a terrorist by the name

dinelo Chicon.

And your orders came from?

RCO, Bill Marks. Anyway?

What? Sorry?

Brigadier General Marks?

Special representative to the

joint congressional committee on

military appropriation,

Bill Marks?

He was colonel Bill Mark back

then.

Under his orders, we were sent

to a little village called

Las Calinas.

The village has just a few

huts.

dinelo Chicon is suppose to be

hiding out there.

It was suppose to be routine.

Somebody lost it.

I hear gun fire.

By the time I get to there,

And god damn.

They were all women, men, kids,

and I lost it.

I jumped the guy who did it..

And the next thing I know, I'm

looking at first degree, 9 specs.

Who did it?

Hernandez.

Jimmy Hernandez.

He ordered me to keep my mouth

shut.

He said he was teaching them a

lesson and Mark will back him up

I told them to go to hell.

Major Hernandez?

Marks's top aide?

Yes.

He introduced himself to me

yesterday in the waiting area.

What?

Claire, I want you to listen to

me.

I want you to stay away from

him.

He is extremely dangerous,

do you understand?

General Marks, he is like the

most decorated most powerful?

And you're saying you were

framed by General Marks and his

special assistant.

That is our defense?

Yup.

Claire, sit down for a minute.

I don't want the firm's name to

be connected to this.

Nobody knows Ron Chatman is

Tom Kubik.

Alex, my husband is innocent.

I'm not considering any other

possibility.

I'm even less interested than

you are in seeing his name

associated with a mass murder.

I just want you to understand.

All the possible unforeseen

consequences.

I'll make it really easy for you.

If the firm's name got dragged

into this, you don't have to

fire me. I'll resign.

Hei, Josh, remember that thing

from the twenty?

Thank you.

Claire can I do anything?

Yeah, I need a lawyer.

Somebody from the marine corps.

Somebody who beat them before

and hungry to beat them again.

Where will you be?

Bill, bill, William.

I'm looking for Charlie Grimes.

don't tell me you need a lawyer

because you are one.

I followed the Norris case.

Talk about a rabbit out of a

hat.

Are you Charles W. Grimes?

You just can't get over my

decorating, can you?

Welcome to Grimes and associate.

Associate?

Laila.

Rumour has it that you are a

very good attorney.

Formerly of the Jag Corps.

In another life.

And in that former life you

were having an affair with your

superior's wife,

and they pushed you out.

Let's not dwell on my youthful

offences, what do you want?

The military has set up my

husband.

And they assign some junior

lieutenant to defend him.

Who is prosecuting?

Waldron.

Tell your husband to cop a

plea.

Try to make a deal with the judge.

Military justice is different.

Wake up. Smell the napalm.

Charlie, you're not gonna

believe this sh*t!

They busted me again.

It's like?

every time I turn around,

they slapped hand cuffs on me.

That's because every time you

turn around, you made some

fault.

I perform a very important

service for the military.

That's her denial defense.

You do somebody at the base

too?

Yeah, actually.

How about your lawyer here,

is he any good?

When he gets up his ass, yeah.

How about it Mr. Grimes?

Why don't you sit up?

Nice to meet you, Lola.

I'm due for in an hour.

-In an hour?

Jackie.

I'm here to help.

'Cause, what are sisters for?

Tacky.

You got evicted didn't you?

What happen to the money I

send?

Too little, too late, too much

credit card debts.

All I need is an extra phone

line.

What for?

Find new job.

Psychic hotline.

don't laugh, I'm really good at

it.

Good morning, Lieutenant.

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

from spreading by the media.

We are civilian and not

subject to military order.

Such order will be taken for

informational personal purposes

only.

You still can be disqualified

from participating this trial.

All rise.

So it begins.

See you soon.

He is suppose to be the best.

What the hell was that?

I said you should follow the

rule.

I'm the wild card.

You could have got us thrown

out from the case.

That's too early..

If they think we're gonna go

public, it might give us an idea
