Aired week of Feb 24, 1997

Top secret NASA information has been leaked into the private sector and Bull becomes the prime suspect in a scandal that rocks NASA.

Plot: (pasted from the official "The Cape" Web Site)

Bull is torn by indecision and loyalty when he is courted for a lucrative civilian job, but his attention is jerked back to NASA when a security breach uncovers a series of information thefts. Alerted to the devastating security breach by his longtime secretary Georgia, Bull finds investigators swarming the astronaut offices.

The investigation reveals that during the last six months, top secret information has been leaked on a regular basis to the secondary orbital systems market -- the area of the private sector in which Bull has been interviewing. Suddenly, Bull is the primary suspect in the case and his security access is immediately restricted. Bull realizes that it is up to him to do his own investigating in order to find the real culprit within his department.

Meanwhile, Zeke is about to be honored with a gold pin for his heroic work on the Atlantis mission, until Barbara discovers mission patches supposedly signed by him for sale at a space convention. Such opportunism is a felony for government employees, but Zeke vehemently denies that he signed or sold the patches. When he discovers his brother Curt has executed the scam, he is once again torn between the desire to protect his brother and the need to clear his own name.
