Episode Title: "The Guardian"
Original Air Date: 03/28/1997
Harm and Mac defend a former Navy Seal, now a homeless man, but still a highly trained killing machine, who is accused of using excessive force in killing three men who tried to hold up a convenience store, when JAG moves to its new time period.
It seems like an open-and-shut case of triple homicide until Harm and Mac discover that the former Seal, Paul Bauwer (guest star Bruce Weitz), acted instinctively at the store as he sought to protect a young boy -- who happened to be his estranged son but didn't recognize him. Bauwer, embarrassed by his own vagrancy, wants to keep his identity a secret from his son. As a result, Harm and Mac must devise a successful defense without divulging their client's relationship to the only witness to the incident, while at the same time proving that Bauwer acted in an appropriate manner.
In civilian court, Harm defends a semi-delusional homeless veteran (Bruce Weitz) who killed three would-be robbers. But his case is hindered by the ex-SEAL's lack of cooperation and his military history as a trained killer.
Harm and Mac defend a homeless former SEAL who killed three convenience-store robbers.
KIP35@aol.com:
After a tension filled Teaser and ACT 1, this settles into a riveting courtroom drama as Harm and Mac represent a NAVY SEAL who killed three young men he caught murdering a convenience store owner.
