Episode Title: "Real Deal Seal"
Original Air Date: 05/09/00
Montel Williams guest stars as Lt. Curtis Rivers.
Lt. Curtis Rivers (Montel Williams), a Medal of Honor-winning Navy SEAL, is court-martialed for punching a Congressional candidate who falsely claims to be a Navy SEAL. Rivers explains that he is on a crusade to expose Navy SEAL impostors.
In order to prove his point to Harm, who is assigned to defend him, Rivers places him in the center of a dangerous plot to expose another false SEAL. Though Rivers assures Harm that his safety is in the hands of two legitimate former SEALS, he finds himself alone in court when Harm misses the trial to pursue a lead on the would-be assassin.
Chegwidden's pending appointment to the U.S. District Court figures into the case of a Navy hero who assaulted a politician because the man falsely claimed to be a SEAL. Soon Harm, who's on the defense team, gets caught up in a dangerous plot to expose other SEAL imposters.
