Written by Creator/DanaCoen
In this episode of ''Series/{{JAG}}'', a wheelchair-bound street musician who appears to be a Vietnam War veteran, is rapidly playing his accordion, when an East Asian man approaches him. The street musician appears to have been triggered and has a Vietnamese phrase flash in his mind over and over. After he finishes playing, he asks the Vietnamese man to lean closer — and then stabs him.
The vet appears at JAG HQ and accosts Harm. Because he makes vague statements, Harm thinks he is a crank and passes him off to Bud, with an implied instruction to get rid of him. The vet then introduces himself as Marine Second Lieutenant Willy Minkies reported MIA. He confesses to killing the Vietnamese man and mentions that he was at a POW camp at Dong Ha. Minkies mentions that Harm's dad may have been there too — then makes the most damming accusation — that Harm's dad may have been a ''collaborator''.
