Bull (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 14 - It's Classified - full transcript

When Bull has Benny defend a whistle-blowing army analyst, Lt. Tamsin Dale, who is being court martialed, the case causes trust issues between them after Benny won't share redacted government secrets with the rest of the team. Also, Marissa forces the office to work without its usual technology to avoid being hacked during the case.

[CHATTER]

Hey, Tamsin, did
you hear about Marks?

He saved the new Throne
album to the secure drive.

Now, boom, his
career might be over.

Serves him right.

Throne's sound is a throwback to
the '60s without the youthful idealism.

That band doesn't deserve
to be saved on the hard drive.

Sir, I'm here to take
in Lieutenant Dale.

She's there.

- Stop! Stay where you are!
- Stop, Dale.

- Lieutenant Dale, stop!
- Freeze! Stop! Freeze!



Get 'em up!

Colonel Jackson,
please, I can explain.

Lieutenant Tamsin Dale, you
are under arrest per Article 134

for violation of Section
793(e) of the Espionage Act.

- You looking for me?
- Yes. A possible client.

Army Lieutenant Tamsin
Dale facing 111 years in prison.

Charged four times
under the Espionage Act.

Espionage? Whoa. For
who? Uh, Russia, China?

Nobody. Oh, string cheese.

She leaked a document
to a newspaper.

- Which newspaper?
- It's called GlobeSpill.

- Oh, yeah.
- It's online.

It's like a cross between
Huffington Post and WikiLeaks.

Our lieutenant gave them a memo



about a US bombing in Syria
that accidentally took out a hospital,

killing 36 patients
plus medical personnel.

In the memo, this
colonel basically says

that he doesn't care
about the civilian casualties

as long as he realized
his tactical goals.

I remember hearing about this.
And the army made him retire.

- He was a big embarrassment.
- 'Cause the colonel screwed up.

It's not like Tamsin gave the
Russians launch codes or anything.

Lieutenant Dale isn't a
spy. She's a whistle-blower.

There you are, sir.

- Thank you.
- Open up.

BULL: Fort Mackman.
Protecting America since 1924.

Did you know the army is a year
older than the United States? True fact.

Whoa, Bull. Flag on the play.

This document that
Lieutenant Dale leaked

not only revealed that
the colonel was a jerk

but it also revealed
a classified operation.

This Ranger unit was
embedded near the bombing site.

And after GlobeSpill published,
the unit got attacked. I'm aware.

This changes things.
Three Rangers died.

Come on, Bull, we
can't take this case.

I'll listen to what she has to
say. If I don't like it, we're gone.

Yeah?

Yeah.

They offered her a plea
deal, but she turned it down.

Said she had to
fight for what's right.

The government is
using the Espionage Act

to go after people who
expose government wrongdoing.

Is that who we are now? Punish our
critics with a century in Leavenworth?

Come on, counselor,
this could be fun.

Court-martial? Different
rules, different trial science.

We could even put the
president on the stand.

Nobody is putting the
president on the stand.

- Dare to dream.
- Right.

Gentlemen, as the
convening authority,

I'm gonna ask that you not
turn this trial into a media circus.

Convening authority?

One officer picks the jury pool
and gets to set a lot of the rules.

We don't do a lot of courts-martials,
so I'm gonna ask you to use my office

as the interview space
for Lieutenant Dale.

You were her commanding
officer. Was she your protégée?

Tamsin was one
of my best analysts.

That's why I requested to
be the convening authority.

- Sergeant, bring her in.
- Yes, sir.

Dr. Bull, I hope you can help me,
but you should know I won't lie to win.

I don't lie. I choose facts.

Winning is about which facts you
focus on and which you choose to ignore.

Different facts matter
to different jurors.

Sounds like lies
of omission to me.

Maybe if you're sitting
in a data analyst's chair,

that's the way it sounds.

Not in a jury box.

BENNY: Clearly you have
reservations, so why are we here?

Why contact Dr. Bull at all?

Because the facts say your
success rate is unparalleled,

and a lot of your cases
looked unwinnable.

- That's why.
- Tell me about the memo you leaked.

43 civilians died
in that bombing.

Colonel Kell said he cared
less about civilian casualties

than his tactical objectives,

except one of his tactical objectives
is to prevent civilian casualties.

Huh.

For every civilian we
kill, we make 40 enemies.

So part of every mission
is try hard not to kill them.

But the colonel's collateral damage
stats were 30% higher than his peers.

Unless he was stopped, it
was going to happen again.

You're a lieutenant and
you get to decide this?

TAMSIN: I went through the chain
of command. Nothing happened.

And the colonel continued
his reckless engagements.

- So I went to my ultimate boss.
- The American people? Come on.

It's why I signed
up in the first place.

I'm fighting this because
I did nothing wrong.

The secret Ranger
unit might disagree.

Wasn't a covert unit exposed
and three soldiers killed

because you leaked that memo?

Then why am I not
charged with their deaths?

You tell me.

The memo.

There's classified intel out
there that's not what you think.

OK.

Talk, Tamsin, or
we're out of here.

I'm not saying anything
about the Ranger unit

until you have
security clearance.

So, you're just
not going to say.

- I can't.
- OK, I guess we're out of here.

Nothing, even with
your life at stake.

Why'd you release the document?

One sentence, don't think
about it, just say it now.

I love my country.

You may think it sounds hokey,

but we're the greatest nation
in history, or supposed to be,

and then this colonel comes
along and says he doesn't care

if we kill innocent people.

All right. You have a jury
consultant and a really good lawyer.

You took the case anyway, even though
she wouldn't discuss the Ranger attack.

Exactly.

Her life is at stake
and she won't talk,

and yet she leaked
information to save others.

Or maybe you just like her because
she breaks the rules like you do.

She's a soldier, Bull. She doesn't
get to pick and choose what she tells.

She's gonna win
you over. I can feel it.

For Lieutenant Dale's case,
we have a few new rules.

- Like... no hacking.
- Just send me home, why don't you?

We will be profiling
the jury, just like always,

but this is a national
security case.

Take it from me, certain people
will be watching everything we do.

- But you're saying there's no hacking?
- OK, just think of it as an adventure.

Like a camping trip,
in nature, no electricity.

- Or toilets.
- Camping?

OK, no hacking, no sneaking,
no undercover anything.

If you wanna find out
about potential jurors,

you use public documents,
neighbors and colleagues.

How many jurors
are in the initial pool?

It's officers only, so
Benny thinks about 30.

Guess I'll gas up my car.

And we are...
going off the grid.

- Except for my computer...
- Be strong.

Which is air-gapped
and externally booted.

I will input the information
into the algorithm

and the completed profiles
will go there... and on paper.

Paper.

So, how'd the team take it?

I told them it would
be fun, like camping.

Marissa, have you
ever been camping?

- Any more fun I should know about?
- [CHUCKLES]

Sure, with courts-martial,
there's no hung juries.

We get a verdict,

and it only takes three quarters
of the jury to find you guilty.

Well, there are 12 jurors,
so we need four to acquit.

Wait. Who stole
my string cheese?

Here. Better for you.

Worst of all, we only get to
boot one juror out in voir dire.

Ouch. Jury selection's
the key to trial. It's our forte.

Yes, it is, which is why
I have a new strategy.

If we only get one strike, we
have to avoid the nuclear juror.

Nuclear.

He or she is the one with the
quality our research reveals

is the most toxic to our
defense, a strict constructionist.

No Thomas Jeffersons.

No one who believes in the
literal interpretation of rules.

They'll never forgive
you for leaking the memo.

BULL: Avoid anyone
who's never seen combat,

who enlisted for the structure
rather than the adventure.

- You know how many we'll have?
- Army Strong.

Let's move along, counsel. I wanna
be done with voir dire in one hour.

Hey, where's Tanaka? I thought
Tanaka was a nuclear juror.

No, Marissa cleared her.

Now we have Vikowitz, Lambert
and the one I can't pronounce.

Here are the last
of the profiles.

My algorithms say that we
have one more possible nuke.

Major Crumpler, come on down.

BULL: Marissa, we need a
name. Benny's running out of time.

Mr. Colón, do you wish to exercise
your peremptory challenge or not?

Yes, yes, of course.
Uh, please, one moment.

Bull, we have four Jeffersonians,
Crumpler, Lambert, Vikowitz...

How do you pronounce that?

Hey, so it looks like Lambert's
packing the highest megatons.

Never been overseas, and he has
seven bumper stickers on his car.

They did a study.

The more bumper stickers you
have, the more road rage-y you are.

Bull, did you get that? Lambert is a
rule stickler and he has anger issues.

What leadership score
did you give Lambert?

MARISSA: Grading on the officer
curve... Yikes. He's only 50th percentile.

Looks like Lambert, juror
number one, is our nuke.

- JUDGE: Mr. Colón.
- Two.

Yes, Colonel, we would
like to thank and excuse

juror number two,
Major Vikowitz.

MARISSA: Vikowitz? Bull, did you hear
me? Everything is pointing to Lambert.

Lieutenant Szentgyorgyi,
please join us.

We have our panel. Ladies
and gentlemen, thank you.

Please report tomorrow at 0900.

Counsel will now
have a motions hearing.

Mr. Colón, please follow Major
Barnett. This session is adjourned.

Follow me, Mr. Colón.

- Why Vikowitz?
- Not smiling, head still.

Did you see the way
he steepled his fingers?

Signs of a leader. And a nuclear leader
is much worse than a nuclear follower.

Who's that guy?

TAMSIN: The suit?
Never seen him before.

Hmm.

Hang tough, soldier.

Major Barnett, quick question.

Tamsin said something
odd the other day.

She wasn't charged with revealing
the Ranger unit. Why was that?

Your client's facing life.
That's not enough for you?

Well, soldiers died.

Aiding the enemy
is a stronger charge

than stretching the
Espionage Act like that.

Haven't the families
demanded it?

If you'll excuse us, Mr. Colón
and I have to take a trip.

Trip? I thought we were
having a motions hearing.

'Cause I'm making a motion
about a classified document,

the hearing will be
held at a black site.

Black site. Cool.

Attorneys only, sir.

Got it.

The one time I might
wanna be a lawyer.

By signing this
security memorandum,

you agree never to share, speak
of or acknowledge the existence

of classified
documents in this case.

And if you do any of those
things, Mr. Colón, be warned,

you could be jailed
up to ten years.

I understand.

We're on the record.

- So where's the mysterious document?
- BARNETT: This is part of discovery.

But you weren't allowed to
view it till you had clearance.

It's the memo Tamsin Dale
uploaded to GlobeSpill on 7 January.

Wait a minute. This is what
she leaked? No, this is different.

Your Honor, I move to enter
this as Defense Exhibit 1.

Colonel, I object.

This hearing was called for a motion
to exclude this document from trial.

Are you kidding me?

Your Honor, this
could set her free.

Can I help you?

Oh, hey. Yeah,
sorry about your wall.

Marissa won't let me
do this on a computer.

- Vandalize it?
- Making a timeline.

Something's bugging me.

January 7th, Lieutenant Dale uploads
the classified memo to GlobeSpill.

- Then...
- GlobeSpill publishes it online.

- What's "S-C-T Ranger U" mean?
- It's a secret Ranger unit.

Their location was
revealed in the memo.

Who abbreviates
"secret" with "S-C-T"?

Everyone's a critic.

Point is, terrorists
attacked the Ranger unit

after their location
was revealed.

Sergeants Valeo, Frakes and
Lieutenant Kleeman were killed.

- It's tragic.
- Yeah.

But when they arrested our defendant,
they didn't charge her with that.

Why not? There must be a reason.

Uncovering other people's
secrets is like catnip to you.

- But you keep yours to yourself.
- Vicious slander.

Thanks for the wall.

How was the hearing?

Or was it all just a
terrible misunderstanding

and you're now the oldest
Chi Phi pledge at Hudson?

"What the US Army
Won't Let You Know."

Wow. GlobeSpill's website
certainly knows how to sell a memo.

I can't talk about
the black site, Bull.

OK. Have a good night.

So you're using the jury
profiles to manipulate the jury.

To know the jury. Everyone
looks at life through a filter.

Some people are
cheerful, some suspicious.

Some have an impudent
disregard for trial science.

Impudent.

Profiles help us see
what color that filter is.

So you can choose facts.

Well, let me ask you,
which facts do you like better,

that you're a spy who
released classified documents

or a patriotic American

who exposed gross misconduct
to save innocent lives?

They're all facts.

Oh, look at juror
number four, Hernandez.

- I thought he was in your corner.
- TAMSIN: So?

He's angry. Look at his hands.
They're clenched into fists.

OK, the profiles show that
juror number four is our leader.

Captain Jack Hernandez.

CABLE: His wife
had an affair last year.

Finally the gardener told him
and he gave the guy a raise.

So he didn't shoot
the messenger.

So the captain may think our client
did the right thing by spilling a secret.

- [SIGHS]
- Problem?

National secrets are
secret for a reason.

Lieutenant Dale uploaded a
classified document. Not cool.

- Help me out, Homeland. Come on.
- Sorry, not me.

We over classify
too many documents,

label it top secret 'cause it's
easier and covers our bases,

not because it actually
reveals anything.

Anything? Come on.

Once an analyst gave me an
article from the Guardian to read.

It gave me new information
on a terrorist I'd been tracking.

- Because I read it, it was classified.
- Seriously?

Seven billion people in
the world could read it,

but I could only discuss it with
people who had the right clearance.

I'm sorry. Is the air out? Hell.

- HVAC repair guy's on his way.
- Oh...

- Something wrong?
- This monitor has been down for hours.

Like every computer
in the office but mine.

- DANNY: So why is it blinking?
- MARISSA: And the printer's down.

Monitor, air. Damn it. Cable,
I need your help. My room!

Your... Your room? You're
letting me go to your room?

In 1987, Marine
Sergeant Clayton Lonetree

gave US secrets
to his KGB handler.

He was a spy.

John Walker, a navy
chief warrant officer,

sold encrypted documents to
the Soviet Union for 17 years.

He was a spy.

Lieutenant Tamsin Dale
uploaded a memo to a media outlet,

and yet she's charged with espionage,
just like Lonetree and Walker?

She wanted to help.

Juror number four has
closed body posture.

He's holding himself rigid,
has his hands clasped together.

- He's not feeling us at all.
- BENNY: She wanted to help the army.

- Has something flipped him?
- And she succeeded.

The army fixed the
problem. And yet here we are.

And number nine,
McNamara, he's loving Benny.

He was supposed to
be our biggest challenge.

- Marissa?
- I need a minute, Bull.

And this army. She
just wanted to help.

I knew one of those Rangers,
the ones they won't talk about.

Who died and made Lieutenant
Dale Secretary of Defense?

I think I'll watch
Westworld tonight.

OK. Jurors five and 12 are
off too. Have they flipped?

Marissa, I need you.

I can't shut it down. I think it's
drawing power from the HVAC.

That's not possible. Try
rerouting but shut it off.

Juror four hasn't flipped. Nobody
has. The juror profiles, they're wrong.

How is that possible,
they're wrong?

Wrong like sabotaged. Someone
has altered the underlying data.

Screw this.

Oh! Bull, we've been hacked.

What are we looking at?

The juror profiles created
by my system are garbage.

The hackers altered
the data days ago.

- Days ago? And we just noticed?
- It was a side-channel attack.

They couldn't access
my drives directly,

so they got into our printers,
our lights, even the HVAC.

Then used the EM emissions
to work out the encryption key.

It's actually pretty
brilliant. Sorry, Marissa.

The intrusion started a cascading
overload of our hacked systems,

which eventually
began to malfunction.

Otherwise we never
would have realized it.

Well, Bull did.

So, Gonzalez just called a recess
so we can get a handle on things.

- Who did this?
- Not the army. It's not their style.

The worm's engine is encrypted.
Same architecture as the Doji worm.

It looks a lot like the
BOrOlo Group. China.

- China, right.
- Something you'd like to add?

Well, it's just, uh... GlobeSpill is
associated with Chinese hackers, right?

That's a rumor. NSA hasn't been
able to track it down, officially, anyway.

Well, GlobeSpill may want...

[CLEARS THROAT]

Tamsin locked up
and forgotten about,

so that they could cover
up something they did.

- Can you build new juror profiles?
- Not until we find the worm.

You and Cable do that.
Benny, talk to me for a second.

Not only is the army against us

but also a major media
outlet and now possibly China.

Why? What happened
at the black site?

I'm sorry, Bull, I can't.

Just like Tamsin. It's
cuter when she does it.

GlobeSpill did
something wrong. What?

[CHUCKLES]

The answer is in a
classified document

that I can't discuss,
that's been excluded.

Does this document explain
why our client wasn't charged

with the attack on the
hidden Ranger unit?

If I tell you, we will
both go to prison.

- It's our client's life.
- And she will...

She will say the same thing.

We cannot disclose
classified information.

What if told you I
didn't want you to?

Have a seat.

I'm gonna ask you questions
that are not about the secret

and you can answer freely.

And then I'm gonna ask you
questions that I don't want you to answer.

- Hello.
- Trust me.

It's just a dyad. Don't freak out.
I'm just monitoring your pulse.

Wow. Could have
bought me a drink first.

Maybe later. OK.

Now I'm gonna ask you a question you
can answer without violating any rules.

Yes or no. Is there something
I don't know about GlobeSpill?

Yes.

People, they don't have to talk
to tell. Your pulse is the answer.

And the micro-expressions
on your face.

Now I'm gonna ask you a
question I don't want you to answer.

Did GlobeSpill do
anything illegal?

Hmm. Has GlobeSpill
reported false information?

Really? Does the false information
relate to Tamsin's leaked memo?

Does the false information
relate to the Ranger attack?

Has GlobeSpill reported
false information? Really?

Tamsin didn't betray those
Rangers. GlobeSpill did.

- GlobeSpill? How?
- I'm not confirming any of this.

When Tamsin leaked the
memo to GlobeSpill, she altered it.

She removed all
sensitive information,

except what the colonel
said about civilian casualties.

She redacted it, just like we
redact documents all the time.

GlobeSpill knew a memo with a bunch
of holes in it wasn't gonna make a splash.

I mean, a mean colonel? Yawn.

But a secret Ranger
base, that's a scoop.

So they filled in the holes

using information they had
on the Rangers' location?

Ended up aiding in the attack that
killed Kleeman, Valeo and Frakes.

The GlobeSpill people should be
in jail, but how did they even know

where the Rangers were?

Well, maybe when they were looking into
the bombing, they found another source.

Maybe it was the
Chinese government.

Regardless, we know it wasn't Tamsin
because the army did not charge her.

- They knew she didn't do it.
- Army is playing by the rules.

But then why prosecute her at all
if she didn't directly hurt anyone?

Precedent. The army wants
to come down hard on leakers.

Look at Private Manning
a couple of years ago.

But Manning leaked tens
of thousands of documents.

Lieutenant Dale only leaked one.

Under the Espionage
Act, it doesn't matter.

The crime is the
leak, not who got hurt.

Can only argue lack
of harm at sentencing.

After she's been convicted.

You're early.

I know about the memo
you leaked. The real one.

I know you didn't get
those soldiers killed.

That must have felt pretty
lonely, not being able to tell.

Exhausting, mostly.

Have a seat.

So, tell me one thing.

Why play the martyr?

I was trying to
do the right thing.

Saving yourself
isn't the right thing?

The case is going badly.

If we could just bring
up the real memo...

I'm going to prison.

Maybe.

Why are you telling me this?

Because I want you to
know what you're up against.

No more secrets.

Dr. Bull told me the
situation about my case.

Well, your testimony will help.

Thank you for representing
me. I know you didn't want to.

Yeah, well, I blew up my career
once too, in the DA's office.

This guy was going away for
something he didn't do, and, um...

You threw yourself on
a grenade, to save him.

- I looked you up, Mr. Colón.
- Ah.

I like facts, remember?

Come on.

And that's why I went up
the chain of command first.

It was only when I
received no response,

I decided to share the
memo with GlobeSpill.

I tried to play by the rules.

- Thank you, Lieutenant.
- I tried, but it didn't work.

That's why I want to tell
you the truth about the memo.

Thank you. That'll
be all. Your witness.

See, they classified it, so you
wouldn't know what really happened.

Tamsin!

Stop. You'll only make
things worse for yourself.

You know who got
those Rangers killed?

GlobeSpill. GlobeSpill
did it, not Lieutenant Dale.

- Benny, don't.
- Dr. Bull, sit down.

- Mr. Colón, silence.
- She uploaded a redacted document.

No classified information,
no Ranger unit.

GlobeSpill filled in the blanks,
got those Rangers killed.

- It was GlobeSpill.
- GONZALEZ: Mr. Colón, stop.

The members will disregard Mr. Colón's
outburst and the allegations in it.

Those allegations shall play
no part in your deliberations.

Colonel Gonzalez, I move for a recess,
and can we please absent the panel?

BULL: You know what happens now.

- The FBI comes to TAC and arrests me.
- No. They're gonna do it right here.

FBI. Special Agent Jim Riley.

- Listen carefully...
- Sir, I need you to step aside. Now.

Benjamin Colón,
you are under arrest

for violating Section
793(e) of the Espionage Act.

Make a statement. Benny, this is
your last chance to help yourself.

You know what I always tell
my clients? Remain silent, idiots.

If I make a statement, how can I
ever look them in the eye again?

Hey, Jimmy. We, uh... We need
five minutes. I cleared it with Paul.

Must have called
in a lot of favors.

Special Agent
Riley, Dr. Jason Bull.

Big fan. How's your case
coming against GlobeSpill?

That's why you've been
in the court-martial, isn't it?

Gathering ammunition
for your espionage charge

somewhere down the road?

Sorry your guy got caught up.

What the hell did you
think you were doing?

Our client was about to spill
classified intel in open court.

I know. I told her to.

You went behind my back?

She had to tell the jury she
didn't get those Rangers killed.

They would have charged her,
Bull, on another count of espionage.

It was a tactical decision.

Maybe she gets charged.
Maybe she beats all the charges.

- She agreed.
- Always going for the big win, huh?

- I told you to trust me.
- When you didn't trust me!

I was trying to protect you,
so you wouldn't get arrested.

You should go, Bull.

I mean it. Get out.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Cable is still trying to
find the digital warhead.

She scrubbed maybe 20%,

but I'm just not sure how
much longer we have.

- Until what?
- Until we're raided by the FBI.

You're kidding, right?

- The FBI's coming here?
- As soon as they get a warrant.

The feds are not gonna get a
peek at our client's business.

Be ready to hit the kill switch.

Colonel Jackson. Hey.

You seem like a good guy, is
what I don't get, being all you can be.

I bet your soldiers look up to
you. And I bet they're right to.

I imagine you're gonna wheel
up next to a point any day now.

How could you convene a trial

when you knew Lieutenant Dale
only uploaded a redacted document?

Do you think taking some words
out makes it OK to violate orders?

GlobeSpill put those Rangers
in harm's way, not Dale.

You know what
happens when you join

the greatest fighting force
the world has ever known?

You make a
commitment to discipline.

If soldiers just start
going their own way,

outside the chain of
command, people die.

Now, that's not
hyperbole. It's fact.

And even if Tamsin didn't
reveal that Ranger unit,

she created the conditions
that allowed someone else to.

You're damn right
I convened a trial.

I have work to do, Doctor.

How'd you lose the arm, Colonel?

I didn't lose it, Doctor. I
know exactly where it is.

So, um, talked to Barnett.

The judge gave a second
instruction to the members

to disregard Benny's fireworks.

And this is one jury that
knows how to follow orders.

Maybe, but they heard it.

And they saw Benny get
arrested to let them hear it.

What's Lieutenant Dale
gonna do without Benny?

Give the closing argument? Me?

The members wanna hear from you.

Walk 'em through what you
did. Start with the bombing. Go.

At 0530 on 1 December, a unit
from the 28th Armored Brigade

deployed a series of
laser-guided bombs...

No. No, no, no, stop.

I ask you to tell me about
a traumatic car wreck

and you read me
the accident report?

- But it's what happened.
- It's the facts. I want the story.

Why'd you report this
colonel? He's a jerk. So what?

- He was an ongoing threat...
- The story.

Why do you care so much
about civilian casualties?

- It affects our mission.
- The story, Lieutenant.

You know what? Screw
this. And screw you.

Hey. Every time you're
under stress, you look at this.

Who's ML?

My friend Matt. He died
in Yemen two years ago.

Yemen?

Matt was my best
friend in high school.

He was working for an
NGO, trying to get children out.

There was a bombing.
The Saudis, not us.

An accident.

And no one cared
about civilian casualties.

No one cared about Matt.

And that's your story.

15 kids died, plus
Matt and many others,

and everyone shrugged
and just moved on.

That's why the colonel's
callousness was so jarring to me.

We're the United
States damn army.

Aren't we better than that?

Here are a few of my secrets.

Words matter. Body
language matters.

Manolo and McNamara
are our most important jurors,

which means eye contact.

BULL: Engage with every word.

Things were so black and
white to me then, right and wrong.

Colonel Kell was
wrong, so I had to act.

And the army
asked him to resign.

Problem solved. Or so I thought.

BULL: You need to
punch the key words.

Nothing is black and white.

Nothing is black and white.

I didn't know
anything. I was a fool.

I was trying to help the army,
but that's not good enough.

I disobeyed orders
indirectly. That was wrong.

But know this.

I am not a spy.

I would never betray my country.

I am a soldier.

Thank you, McNamara.

Jury started deliberations?

Bull thinks we got two
jurors, McNamara and Manolo.

[SIGHS]

Just need two more.

[TYPES ON KEYBOARD]

- Cleaned up the firmware.
- OK, good.

The, uh... The jury's still out.

I know.

[PHONE RINGS]

Yeah?

OK. Thank you.

They're back.

Captain Lambert, your verdict.

LAMBERT: In the case
of United States v. Dale,

on the first specification,
we find the accused...

not guilty.

On the second specification,
we find the accused... not guilty.

On the third specification,
we find the accused not guilty.

And on the fourth specification,
we find the accused... guilty.

Tamsin. Hey.

It's... guilty. Wow.

The accused is found guilty.
Sentencing to begin first thing tomorrow.

Bad break. The verdict.

Benny was the bad break.
This is just... mission failure.

- How much time you think she'll get?
- 20.10 if she's lucky.

It's up to the jury now.

Tell Danny I need everything she's
got on Colonel Abernathy Jackson.

- Can I help you, Dr. Bull?
- There was this officer in 2006.

Deployed with the 141st
Infantry Brigade in Kabul.

Forward operating base,
lots of civilian contact.

The unit came under fire, and a
private left behind some ordnance.

Kids were known to play in the
area, so this officer went back for it,

without permission,

and on his way back he hit
an IED and it took off his hand.

I may have heard this one.

Another soldier's mistake
put the mission at risk.

You fixed it and got a
Bronze Star in the process.

And you think that's like
what the lieutenant did.

Well, the question
is, what do you think?

GONZALEZ: Lieutenant Dale having
been found guilty of one specification,

the members will now
pronounce sentence.

First Lieutenant Tamsin Dale is hereby
sentenced to 12 years confinement,

forfeiture of all pay and allowances
and dismissal from the service.

GONZALEZ: Thank you,
members of the panel.

Sentence of 12 years to
be served at Leavenworth.

You will be granted credit
for pretrial confinement.

Your Honor, I respectfully ask
the convening authority to weigh in.

He has the prerogative
under the UCMJ.

Colonel Jackson?

Lieutenant Tamsin Dale's actions
make me sick to my stomach.

The arrogance. The
selfishness. The carelessness.

This is a young woman
who had so much promise,

and she threw it away

because she thought her opinions
were more important than the rules,

that her humanity
trumped her duty.

But to remain the greatest force
for good this nation has ever known,

the army must
study its mistakes,

and if we hide our mistakes and punish
the people who expose them, we won't.

Lieutenant Dale, as convening
authority, I am altering your sentence.

You will be dismissed
from the army,

but your confinement will be limited
to one year, served here, on base.

Thank you, Colonel.

GONZALEZ: This court-martial
is concluded. Court is adjourned.

[BANGS GAVEL]

Maybe what you do, maybe
lying for a living is a little strong.

Maybe.

Your story's gonna be
different from here on out.

I signed up to serve my country.

Turns out this is
how I'm going to do it.

Thank you.

Be well, Lieutenant.

Danny's right.

- You're pretty good.
- [CHUCKLES]

Special Agent... I
have a proposal for you.

- DANNY: He's back.
- Hey, guys.

Oh. Hey.

- The FBI took the deal, huh?
- What deal?

The FBI wants to get GlobeSpill.
We gave 'em GlobeSpill's worm.

We traded Benny
for the hackers' code.

The FBI is gonna bludgeon
GlobeSpill with it at trial.

- All charges dropped.
- It was Bull's idea.

Where is he?

[PLAYS BLUES RIFFS]

You didn't come to
the FBI for my release.

Well, I didn't think
you'd want me there.

- I do trust you.
- You kept things from me.

Important things.

My half-sister ran away when
I was around eight years old.

Well, she tried to run away.

My father was gone that time.

My stepmother was taking care
of us, if you wanna call it that.

You have a half-sister?

Sarah came back before supper.
Her bike had gotten a flat tire.

And she begged me not to tell.

- You didn't keep the secret.
- I told my best friend. Kenny.

He told his father, and his
father told my stepmother.

And then your
stepmother punished her.

Mm.

Sometimes a
secret has to be kept.

I didn't need your
protection in court.

I know.

If I had to do it again, I'd
do the exact same thing.

♪ You don't have to live

♪ In a place so far

- ♪ The memory you made...
- Oh, hey. You're Benny Colón, right?

Yeah. Uh, the receptionist just left.
You can come back tomorrow, OK?

No need.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa. Hold on, hold on.

United States Attorney's Office,
Public Corruption Unit? What?

- Am I under investigation?
- How would I know?

Go home already.

Hey. Is everything OK?

Fine. Everything's fine.

MARISSA: Good night.
