- Hello, Clemenceau.
- Labori.

1:02:09
- Why has Zola called us here?
- I know no more about it than you.

1:02:13
Hello.
1:02:14
How do you do, Madame Dreyfus?
Do you know...?

1:02:17
- I asked him for his help, but maybe...
- Why involve Zola in this hopeless mess?

1:02:21
Absolutely useless, beyond all remedy.
Oh, here he is.

1:02:25
- Oh, hello, Émile.
- Hello, Anatole.

1:02:29
Labori.
1:02:31
- You're going to be busy.
- What are you going to do?

1:02:34
- Explode a bomb.
- A bomb?

1:02:36
Thank you for coming, all of you.
1:02:38
- What is it?
- A letter...

1:02:41
...to the president of the republic.
1:02:44
"Mr. President of the republic...
1:02:48
...permit me to tell you
that your record without blame so far...

1:02:52
...is threatened with a most shameful blot:
1:02:55
This abominable Dreyfus affair.
1:02:58
A court-martial has recently, by order...
1:03:01
...dared to acquit one Esterhazy,
a supreme slap at all truth, all justice.

1:03:08
But since they have dared,
I too shall dare.

1:03:12
I shall tell the truth.
Because if I did not...

1:03:16
...my nights would be haunted
by the specter of a man...

1:03:19
...expiating, under the most frightful
torture, a crime he never committed.

1:03:25
It is impossible for honest people
to read the bill of accusation...

1:03:29
...against Dreyfus
without being overcome with indignation...

1:03:32
...and crying out their revulsion.
1:03:36
Dreyfus knows several languages. Crime.
1:03:41
He works hard. Crime.
1:03:45
No compromising papers are found
in his apartment. Crime.

1:03:49
He goes occasionally
to the country of his origin. Crime.

1:03:54
He endeavors to learn everything. Crime.
1:03:57
He's not easily worried. Crime.
He is easily worried. Also a crime.
