:52:03
- Who is it?
- Count Esterhazy.
:52:05
- Esterhazy? On what proof?
- I obtained specimens of his handwriting...
:52:11
...and compared it with the bordereau
on which Dreyfus was convicted.
:52:14
Both of the writings are Esterhazy's.
Look for yourself.
:52:18
- Dreyfus was guilty, just the same.
- But I have new evidence, further proof.
:52:23
My agents got hold of a special
message addressed to Esterhazy...
:52:27
...from the German military attaché.
I tell you, general, Dreyfus is innocent.
:52:31
And I tell you that
you've exceeded your duty.
:52:34
But, general, this is my duty.
:52:36
There must not be another
treason trial in the army.
:52:39
Understand? It must not be.
:52:41
But what about Dreyfus
rotting on Devil's Island?
:52:44
Dreyfus, Dreyfus.
Will we never hear the last of the man?
:52:50
Listen. If it is admitted
that a mistake has been made...
:52:54
...we, the general staff,
will be at the mercy...
:52:57
...of every scandal paper in France.
We owe it to the army to prevent that.
:53:02
But you can't close a tomb
over a living man.
:53:04
Can't we? If you say nothing,
nobody will ever know.
:53:09
And you will say nothing,
you understand?
:53:12
- I don't know, sir...
- That is an official order.
:53:16
You may go.
:53:24
Can't we find a new post
for our friend Picquart?
:53:28
It's very quiet here in Paris
for such an energetic fellow.
:53:31
What about one of our
African desert stations?
:53:35
It's a bit unhealthy, but...
:53:38
What about Esterhazy?
:53:41
We've got to do something
before the public...
:53:44
We shall. Don't worry.
:53:47
Present arms!
:53:50
"In the name of France,
the court-martial, having heard...
:53:53
...the charge of treason brought against
Commandant Walsin-Esterhazy...
:53:58
...unanimously agrees that he was
and is innocent of any suspicion of guilt.
