Outline

Part 2 of 3 (Part 01 and Part 03).

The clock is ticking down with every minute vital as the JAG team take the lead on the terrorist case. However, things soon become very intense when it’s learnt that an Iranian diesel-electric submarine that’s being jointly commandeered by both an Al-Qaeda terrorist and a vengeful Russian submariner has managed to escape being detected and that it is also planning on launching a dirty nuke cruise missile at an American carrier battle group in the Arabian Sea, eventually forcing Harm into the aviator’s seat.

Sturgis is temporarily assigned to the Los Angeles-class submarine USS Watertown to assist the crew with Harm’s own skills as an aviator being put to the test and also being pushed to the very limit as he along with another Naval aviator both attempt to stop the missile from hitting the USS Seahawk which is the missile’s main target from striking the ship and unleashing harmful radiation which would kill everyone on board including Captain Johnson, Mac and Bud, leading to Harm to make a desperate gamble that could save the day. Sturgis provides an insight and possible clues into the renegade Russian submariner Mikhail Yerastov (Bo Svenson), who is the only submariner Sturgis couldn’t outwit during his time as a submariner.

Later, during a mission to apologise to an Afghan village whose schoolhouse was destroyed in an accidental attack by the US Navy, Bud attempts to save a young Afghan boy who he believes has become trapped in a field that is completely laced with hidden landmines, only for things to take a sudden and very shocking turn when Bud steps on a landmine which explodes with the resulting aftermath seeing Bud lying on the ground, badly wounded, his right leg gone with the episode ending in a cliffhanger.
