Scene one
We pan through the central area of JAG headquarters, Falls Church, Virginia. GUNNY is on the phone, TINER is getting coffee, and BUD and HARRIET are chatting. Camera moves into HARM's office. HARM looks up at a knock on the door from GUNNY.
GUNNY: Sir!
HARM: At ease, Gunny.
GUNNY: Thank you sir. I called the Pentagon; they say they're getting on it. Then this fax came through from Russia for you sir. I think it's from your brother, but I don't read Russian. The Col. could help you, though. SIR! GUNNY snaps to attention. HARM had jumped up when GUNNY had said 'Russia', and takes the paper from him now. He skims over it, even though he can't read it, fearing for his brother's life.
HARM: Thank you, Gunny. You may go. HARM takes the paper and goes to MAC's office door. He taps twice, and then enters. Mac, this was just faxed from Russia. I can't read it, and neither can Gunny. I was hoping you could…it's in Russian…
MAC takes paper, then gets a sheet of her own and a pencil and begins to translate. When she is done, she reads over it, and then hands it to HARM. It says:
FROM RUSSIA, WITH LOVE
TO: Cmdr. Harmon Rabb, Jr.
SUBJECT: America
Hello, brother. I have decided that they need me no more here in Russia. I will take you on your offer and come to America and be a citizen like you and your beautiful Col. I will go to a college and be a smart American. Write me when you can, your beautiful Col. will translate into Russian for you, and I will come at once.
Always your loving brother,

HARM: Thank you, Mac
MAC: No problem. Beautiful Col.? How many Russians think I'm beautiful?
HARM: Oh, not just Russians find you beautiful. To himself Hmmm, MY beautiful Col.…HARM leaves, and MAC stares at his retreating back, a slow blush creeping up her cheeks.
