* PermissionToSpeakFreely: Granger asks Austin for "permission to speak frankly."
--> '''Austin''': Put it on the table, Gunny.
--> '''Granger''': I know you don't like me or the way I operate. But it's my job to keep this Embassy secure and my boys alive. This is not a courtroom. It's a battle zone. I don't get to appeal when I lose."

A Marine sentry is standing guard at the US Embassy in Lima, Peru when he challenges someone climbing over the Embassy wall. Thinking he is being shot at, he returns fire and shoots the intruder, who turns out to be a young boy. Things are further complicated when the boy turns out to be the younger sibling of a local woman he has been seeing. Harm and Meg must get to the bottom of things before the local outcry escalates into something more violent.

* CunningLinguist: Meg Austin and one of the Marines are both fluent in Spanish, and serve as translators at various points in this episode.


Added DiffLines:

* TheSquadette: Austin as always, but in particular this episode has her climbing up and over the embassy walls in her Navy uniform while doing her investigation. She also chafes heavily when confronted by the Gunny over this later (he doesn't want her outside the embassy without a guard, and she doesn't appreciate what she sees as unwarranted coddling.)
