62. Gypsy Eyes (2)
gs: Allan Kolman (Alexei) Steven Culp (Agent Clayton Webb) Cliff DeYoung (Chuck DePalma) Paul Collins (SecNav. Nelson) Rex Linn (Major Mark Sokol/Falcon) Vladimir Skomarovsky (Mikhail Parlovsky) Natasha Pavlovich (Rusza) Eric T. Zivot (Vasya) Ilia Volok (Major Nikolai) Leeza Vinnichenko (Pitchta) Charles Hoyes (Ernie McGill)

Having been shot at by Russian fighters, Mac & Harm are forced to eject from their plane, which then noses into the bottom of a very deep lake. The Russians announce to the world that Harm & Mac have been killed, which is broadcasted back to the USA by ZNN reporter Chuck DePalma.

Webb tries to convince the Admiral that they have been killed, but when A.J. learns their bodies haven't been found, A.J. becomes irate and vows to go to Moscow himself to look for them. The SecNav orders A.J. not to go, who replies that the SecNav doesn't want to try & stop him.

In Russia, A.J. meets with DePalma who tells A.J. that he doesn't believe the Russians, that certain things in their story don't add up.

In the woods, a husband & wife gypsies come across Harm & Mac. They are disappointed when they learn that Harm & Mac are not American Spies as at least the spies have gold coins to give to Russians that help them. Mac states they don't have gold coins, but shows them a wad of US dollars and asks if that will do, which of course it does.

The gypsies take Harm & Mac into the back of their covered wagon. Overhead, Maj. Sokol/Falcon flying in a helicopter is searching for Harm & Mac. He asks the gypsies if they have seen an American man & woman and they deny it.

Staying with the gypsies, they learn that the female gypsy has the talent for predicting the future. She becomes upset when she dreams that she is being raped by Russian soldiers and Harm rushes to her defense, who kills 3 of the soldiers before dying himself.

Harm & Mac change into clothing provided by the gypsies to blend it. They are then taken to a train station to arrange travel to Beloyka. However, Sokol/Falcon show up with soldiers and block off both ends of the train platform. Over a loudspeaker, he yells to Harm & Mac to come out of hiding, that they are in grave danger and that he can protect them. Harm is reluctant to go with him, but Mac convinces him to trust him. They then stand up turning themselves in.

Back at a military base in Moscow, Webb, Agent McGill, Alexei & A.J. are sitting in a car just outside the fence. Webb explains that there has been a power struggle within former members of the KGB, one of which is suspected of selling several nuclear warheads to a rogue country. The question is whether it is either Col. Parlovsky or Maj. Sokol. Webb says that they intercepted a transmission for Parlovsky to meet Sokol at the base. Webb further states that if Harm & Mac are on the incoming chopper, then the KGB rogue is Parlovsky. If they are not on it, the rogue is Maj. Sokol. A.J. is upset that Webb has not given Harm/Mac the full story of what they were walking into. Webb counters that he has sent people into danger all the time, so there isn't any difference. A.J. counters that at least the people he sent into danger, knew all about the risk they were getting into. A.J. threatens Webb that if Harm/Mac have been hurt in any way, A.J. will make Webb's life very difficult.

Col. Parlovsky drives through the gate onto the base tarmac. Very shortly afterwards, a helicopter lands with Maj. Sokol getting out. When they don't see Harm & Mac, A.J. assumes the worst. However, after the chopper lifts off, we see Harm & Mac who had got off the chopper on the opposite side. Webb confirms that must make Parlovsky the rogue. A.J. insists they go on it, but Webb hesistates, stating they need to know for sure. When Parlovsky's driver opens the trunk and appear to remove a weapon, A.J. reaches over to the driver side and punches the accelerator, crashing their vehicle through the gate. A gun battle then ensues, with Parlovsky & his driver being killed, as well as Maj. Sokol taking a bullet, but will live.

Harm & Mac are surprised to see the Admiral & Webb there. Harm asks Webb what he is doing there, with A.J. replying, "Getting decked" and punches Webb in the face.

Harm & Mac is led to a village in rural Russia and meets up with an elderly lady who recounts a story to Harm, with Mac acting as an interpreter. She states that when she saw Harm Jr., she realized that he must be the son of a man that she & her brother took in many years ago. They never knew his name as he didn't speak Russian and no one they knew spoke english. One day, while bathing in the nearby creek, 4 Russian soldiers came upon her and decided to sexually assault her. She continues that this stranger heard her cries for help and picked up a gun and managed to shoot 3 of the soldiers before being killed by the 4th one. The lady's brother who was inspired by this strangers courage & bravery, managed to kill the 4th soldier. Her brother told her not too worry, that he would take care of burying the bodies so that they will never be found.

Harm asks Mac to ask the lady where her brother is now so that he can find out where he buried his father and she replied that her brother died a couple of years ago. With his death, the exact burial spot of Harm, Sr. remains unknown. Harm Jr. though, looks out onto the surrounding hills, finally knowing where his father is and through tears, says his final good-byes to him.

b: 22-Sep-1998 pc: 064 w: Donald P. Bellisario d: Tony Wharmby

NOTE: ZNN reporter Chuck DePalma returns in this episode reporting on the alleged "deaths" of Harm & Mac.
Trivia note: When the ending scene at the airfield was being filmed, (where the Admiral and Webb greet Harm & Mac after Parlovsky is killed) the script called for the Admiral to lay a punch to Webb that knocks him to the ground. However, the scene became a little too "real" as John M. Jackson accidently connected with Steven Culp for real -- with the result of Culp's nose being broken.
The story recounted to Harm & Mac at the end of this episode on what had happened to Harm's father, will later set the stage for a secret which Harm will learn later in the Season Six episodes, "Legacy".
Paul Dafelmair won the Emmy for "Outstanding Costuming for a Series" for this episode.

Harm and Mac must don their diplomatic hats when they're dispatched to Tokyo to represent an ensign accused of raping a young Japanese girl. Once the trial begins, the disparities between Japanese and American courtroom procedures put Harm at odds with the ensign's Japanese defense attorney, in turn putting US/Japanese relations at an all-time low.

When what began as the trial of an ensign turns into a trial of the United States Navy, Harm and Mac realize that in order to defend the ensign from life in a Japanese prison, they must actually solve the rape case on foreign soil.

b: 06-Oct-1998 pc: 062 w: Dana Coen d: Tony Wharmby

NOTE: The sailors caps, listed the Reprisal's Hull as CVN-35, which in real life was not a Nimitz-class carrier, in fact it wasn't ANY carrier. Carrier hull number 35 was going to be named the USS Reprisal, but its construction was halted after it was 53% completed. It was then sold as scrap in 1949.
The actual carrier shown in this episode, hull number 69, is the Navy's Nimitz-class carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower; commissioned in 18 October, 1977 and still an active carrier.
Actor Sean Murray will return as the son of a love interest of the Admiral's in Season 5 & 6; he will be responsible for wrecking the Admiral's car -- a situation specifically designed to break up his mother & the Admiral.

All intelligence points to the fact that Francesca is caught in the middle of this business deal gone awry, and it's up to Chegwidden and Harm to rescue her from the mob.

b: 13-Oct-1998 pc: 065 w: Stephen Zito d: Alan J. Levi

Harm volunteers to defend a psychotic Vietnam vet accused of aiding the suicide of a fellow V.A. patient. While Harm argues in court that Roscoe Martin withheld the victims medication as a way to free him from the trancelike state in which it left him, the prosecution claims that the lack of medication is exactly what caused the mans death. Disappointed with the direction of the case, Roscoe feels that the cards are stacked against him and engineers an escape from the V.A. facility with three other patients. Their escape takes them to Harms apartment, and a negotiable situation turns deadly when guns are drawn and a SWAT team swoops in to help with what it sees as a hostage situation.

b: 20-Oct-1998 pc: 066 w: Dana Coen d: Tony Wharmby

NOTE: This is a 'sequel' of sorts: Roscoe Martin first appeared last season in the episode, "King Of Fleas".

Harm feels that neither defendant has come clean with the truth and he begins to search for evidence which is not forthcoming from either one. Ultimately, he learns that Mac and Farrow have each been trying to protect the other. The key witness in the case turns out to be a major surprise to both defendants.

Harm and Mac's original mission is to represent a Navy flier whose Stealth jet is thought to have crashed in Iran due to a mechanical failure. But when the pilot slips Harm a message indicating that the $80 million plane didn't crash and is hidden, the assignment becomes nearly impossible: get the pilot -- and the costly aircraft -- back to the U.S. without letting the Iranians know that the plane is intact.

Despite the cost, Mac convinces the Admiral to allow the two to talk to each other via satellite video-conferencing.

Meanwhile, Harm spends the evening interrogating a beautiful Navy doctor arrested for DWI after she lost control of her vehicle on icy roads and ran over a Nativity scene. Harm agrees to defend her when he learns that just before the accident and before she took the breathalyzer test, she had drank some liquid cold medicine (which contains 25% alcohol)

Adm. Chegwidden's attempts to fly to Italy to spend Christmas with his daughter, however, with the Washington, DC area mired in snow, most of the flights out have been cancelled.

Harm and Mac are assigned to prosecute three sailors charged with the vicious beating of a man they say raped a fellow shipmate. The rape victim, Petty Officer Lopez, tells Mac that, after an evening of drinking with her three male shipmates, she found herself alone at the bar where they ditched her as part of an initiation into their team. The next morning when she awakened in her car, she realized that she had been raped. When the shipmates heard Lopez's story, they exacted revenge on the man they thought attacked her -- the bar owner. But as Harm and Mac wear down the testimony of the three sailors, a very different story about what happened that evening begins to emerge.

This episode starts with tying up the loose end of Mac being charged in an Article 32 hearing for perjury (People vs. Mac).
She is acquitted, thanks to fancy legal-speak from Harm - although she does not have to face a court-martial, she does end being sent up on an Admiral's Mast, which just might be worse.

Retracing Webb's steps, Harm and Mac learn that he was on a top-secret mission to deliver a high-tech weapons project to the proper authorities when he was stopped. Waiting for Harm and Mac when they discover this, though, is none other than Harm's former nemesis, ex-C.I.A.

When Harm and Mac, who are already getting on each other's nerves, find themselves in the cramped quarters of the submarine, their relationship is stretched to the absolute limit. Their attempts to stay out of each other's way as much as possible are futile since they must work together to find out why the sub surfaced miles off course, sinking a Norwegian boat in the middle of a regatta.

Initially, it seems that the incident was the result of reduced staffing due to a breakout of E-coli. However, as more health problems begin to arise aboard the sub, Harm and Mac suspect a more criminal element than disease.

Before David James Elliott was hired to play the lead as Harm, he was a supporting star in that show as a federal agent, helping to enforce Prohibition with Ness. It was a series that was highly under-rated and did not get the airplay it should have.
During the episode, Cmdr. Flagler mentions that "this is the finest 688 crew in the fleet". He is referring to the USS Los Angeles, the 1st 'Los Angeles' class sub: SSN-688

With Harm's eyesight fixed, Harm decides to go ahead and submit a request to be transferred to a fighter squadron. When Lt.Cmdr Parker finds his written request, she is upset at the prospect of Harm being gone for months at a time.

Afterwards, Harm goes over to Mac's apartment who has Chloe spending the night with Mac before she is reunited with her real father. Harm informs Mac of the eye surgery and his plans. Mac is equally upset at the prospect of losing Harm. Mic shows up at Mac's apartment after Harm leaves attempting to court Mac's feelings. After Mic leaves, Chloe tells Mac that Brumby and Harm have a crush on her and begins teasing Mac: "Harm & Mac, sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g."

Admiral Chegwidden passes Harm's request to be transferred onto the SecNav. Not willing to do any favors for Harm, the SecNav is reluctant to intervene. But, when the SecNav considers that it will get Harm away from Washington and the Admiral will owe the SecNav a favor, he tells the Admiral he'll take it under consideration.

In the courtroom, Bud is defending a Lance Corporal who is appealing his court-martial by claiming he was seduced by a Staff Sergeant. His evidence is the Staff Sergeant is pregnant and due to give birth at any time. As a coincidence, Harriet's due date is also drawing near.

Bud's cross-examination of the Staff Sergeant causes her to go into labor on the stand and an ambulance is called to take the Staff Sergeant to the hospital. When the Lance Corporal volunteers to accompany the Staff-Sergeant to the hospital, she admits the Lance Corporal is the father and he wins his appeal.

Back inside the JAG office, Harriet goes into labor at the same time. An ambulance is also called for Harriet, but takes the Staff Sergeant first. Harriet's baby is not wasting anytime being born. The men in the office stumble over each other and it ends up taking a Navy SEAL (Adm. Chegwiggen) to take control of the situation, delivering Harriet's baby son on the floor of his office.

As the second ambulance drives away from JAG with Harriet, the baby & Bud, Mac feels her biological clock is going off. Harm promises her that in 5 years, if neither of them is in a relationship, they will have a baby together. Mac warns Harm not to make a promise he doesn't intend to keep. They then shake hands cementing the deal.

As Harm considers his future at JAG, he learns that Charlie Lynch -- the ex-Navyman responsible for the murder of Annie, the abused child whose death still haunts Harm -- has resurfaced, placing the little girl's twin sister, Dar-lin, in danger. Putting his career decision on hold until he closes the chapter on Lynch, Harm tracks him to a shipyard where the vicious killer is holding Dar-lin hostage. Overflowing with anger against all Lynch's grisly acts of murder, Harm finds himself in an intense stand-off with him that will leave only one man standing.
