Your father is Lionel Kaffee, former Navy Judge Advocate and Attorney General of the United States, died 1985. You went to Harvard Law school then you joined the Navy, probably because that's what your father wanted you to do, and now you're just treading water for three years.

I do know you.

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.834

Daniel Alistair Kaffee, born June 8, 1964...

00:00:06.904 --> 00:00:08.838

at Boston Mercy Hospital.

00:00:08.906 --> 00:00:10.237

Your father's Lionel Kaffee...

00:00:10.307 --> 00:00:13.799

former Navy judge advocate and attorney general of the United States.

00:00:13.877 --> 00:00:15.435

Died 1985.

00:00:15.512 --> 00:00:18.242

You went to Harvard law. Then you joined the Navy...

00:00:18.315 --> 00:00:21.001

probably because that's what your father wanted you to do.

00:00:21.151 --> 00:00:24.484

And now you're just treading water for three years in the JAG Corps.

00:00:24.555 --> 00:00:28.001

Just laying low till you can get out and get a real job.

00:00:28.125 --> 00:00:31.686

If that's the situation, that's fine. I won't tell anyone.

00:00:31.762 --> 00:00:34.026

But it's my feeling that if this case is handled in the same...

00:00:34.331 --> 00:00:36.998

fast-food, slick-ass, Persian bazaar manner...

00:00:37.067 --> 00:00:39.767

with which you seem to handle everything else...

00:00:39.003 --> 00:00:40.073

then something's gonna get missed.

00:00:40.804 --> 00:00:43.466

And I wouldn't be doing my job if I allowed Dawson and Downey...

00:00:43.054 --> 00:00:46.001

to spend any more time in prison than absolutely necessary...

00:00:46.176 --> 00:00:49.027

because their attorney had predetermined the path of least resistance.

00:00:52.999 --> 00:00:53.482

Wow.

00:00:54.618 --> 00:00:57.999

I'm sexually aroused, Commander.

00:00:57.788 --> 00:01:00.052

I don't think your clients murdered anyone.

00:01:00.124 --> 00:01:01.489

What are you basing this on?

00:01:01.558 --> 00:01:03.355

There was no intent.

00:01:03.427 --> 00:01:06.001

The doctor's report says Santiago died of asphyxiation...

00:01:06.033 --> 00:01:08.264

brought on by acute lactic acidosis...

00:01:08.999 --> 00:01:12.166

and that the nature of the acidosis strongly suggests poison.

00:01:12.236 --> 00:01:15.000

I don't know what any of that means, but it sounds pretty bad.

00:01:15.003 --> 00:01:17.002

Santiago died at 1:00 a.m.

00:01:17.998 --> 00:01:19.872

At 3:00, the doctor wasn't able to determine the cause of death.

00:01:19.943 --> 00:01:22.173

Two hours later, he said it was poison.

00:01:22.246 --> 00:01:24.771

Now I see what you're saying.

00:01:24.848 --> 00:01:28.001

It had to be Professor Plum in the library with a candlestick.

00:01:28.218 --> 00:01:30.001

- I'm gonna talk to your supervisor. - Okay.

00:01:30.754 --> 00:01:32.001

Go straight up Pennsylvania Avenue.

00:01:32.999 --> 00:01:35.999

It's the big white house with the pillars in front.

00:01:35.559 --> 00:01:38.756

- Thank you. - I don't think you'll have much luck.

00:01:38.999 --> 00:01:40.262

I was assigned by Division.
