Mustafa Atef is said to be Mohandes, "the Architect," No. 3 in al-Qaeda, in charge of all terrorist training around the world. Proving that at the tribunal might be difficult, however. Of course the defense argues that Atef is in fact not Mohandes. The prosecution plays a video of Atef arriving at a temporary detention facility as the other prisoners chant "Mohandes!"

Alleged terrorist Mustafa Atef (Creator/MarcCasabani) is tried at a military tribunal aboard the USS Seahawk. Admiral Chegwidden defends with Commander Sturgis Turner (Creator/ScottLawrence) as second chair. Commander Rabb prosecutes with Lt. Colonel [=MacKenzie=] as second chair. Captain Sebring (Creator/CorbinBernsen) is the presiding judge on a 7-judge panel.
Kabir Atef (Creator/FrancescoQuinn), Mustafa's brother, is planning something big.

to:
Admiral Chegwidden defends with Commander Sturgis Turner (Creator/ScottLawrence) as second chair. Commander Rabb prosecutes with Lt. Colonel [=MacKenzie=] as second
Chegwidden is surprised to see Agent Webb (Creator/StevenCulp) in the brig, next to Atef's cell. "I didn't know you were on board," the admiral says. "I'm not," Webb replies. And Rabb and Mac are surprised to find that Lt. Roberts's legalman aboard the Seahawk is a woman, Petty Officer Coates (Creator/ZoeMcLellan). And of course Roberts has not told his wife.
Mustafa Atef is said to be Mohandes, "the Architect," No. 3 in al-Qaeda, in charge of all terrorist training around the world. Proving that at the tribunal might be difficult, however. Of course the defense argues that Atef is in fact not Mohandes. The prosecution plays a video of Atef arriving at a temporary detention facility as the other prisoners chant "Mohandes!"
The defense also wants to exclude Atef's confession because it was obtained by torture, only stopping short of a beating. The judges agree to the motion, not because of moral concerns, but simply because they think the confession lacks probative value.
Webb gets word that Kabir Atef (Creator/FrancescoQuinn), Mustafa's brother, is planning something
Maybe Kabir is among the prisoners at the detention facility, or maybe the prisoners know something about Kabir's plans. Rabb decides he will go ask the prisoners about Kabir, but Lt. Roberts reminds him that Mac speaks Farsi, and Rabb does not. Roberts thinks Rabb is mad at him.
The tribunal proceeds without Mac or Webb. Rabb wants to call Mustafa Atef to the stand. Chegwidden of course objects. But then Mustafa Atef just blurts out that he's got nothing to hide and he will testify.
Mustafa Atef doesn't care about the tribunal's judgement, only Allah's judgement matters to him. The judges of course find the defendant guilty, and sentence him to execution at Fort Leavenworth.
Mac and Webb go to the detention facility, where Mac is surprised to find Gunnery Sergeant Victor Galindez (Creator/RandyVasquez) dressed like a local. Galindez has been carrying out special missions in Afghanistan.
Mac wants to question the prisoners one by one, but a whole group is brought out. Mac asks about Kabir. The prisoners say Kabir's not among them.

[[caption-width-right:350:Mac, in danger, but actually quite calm]]
One of the prisoners grabs Mac, puts a knife to her throat and tries to use her as a human shield to escape. Webb orders everyone to put their weapons down. Mac stays cool and waits for Webb's signal to fight back. Webb and Galindez quickly pick their weapons back up and shoot the terrorists.
Kindness towards one of the prisoners results in his revealing that Kabir was in the area a couple of days ago, but he doesn't know anything more than that. Mac and Webb return to the Seahawk. Mustafa Atef must not be executed because he might know what his brother is planning.
But Mustafa Atef slashed his wrists with a ballpoint pen he took from the courtroom: in his cell, he turned his back to the guard, as if to go to sleep, silently injured himself and bled out through the night.
Meanwhile, Lt. Singer (Creator/NanciChambers) is in charge at JAG headquarters.
