1:14:01
Stop!
1:14:05
You're lying!
1:14:09
Silence. Silence!
1:14:11
Now I will tell everything. I will tell
why I was sent to North Africa.
1:14:15
Gentlemen of the jury, I will tell why
men like Colonel Henry...
1:14:19
...have made the most vile accusations
against me without proof.
1:14:22
Gentlemen, if you but knew why
all this is being done!
1:14:25
La patrie! La patrie!
You disgrace me!
1:14:29
Gentlemen! Well, I...
1:14:32
Silence. Silence!
1:14:37
- May I?
- Certainly, general.
1:14:40
The whole campaign of the defense
is extraordinary.
1:14:43
But the most deplorable spectacle of all to
me, as commander of the garrison of Paris...
1:14:48
...is that of an officer still wearing
the French uniform...
1:14:51
...who slanders his superiors
and his comrades.
1:14:54
- Long live the army!
- But not its generals!
1:15:01
Silence! Silence!
1:15:08
I cannot tolerate in silence
these accusations...
1:15:11
...that the law was violated
by court-martial officers...
1:15:14
...who shed their blood
on the battlefields of France...
1:15:17
...while others stab her in the back.
1:15:22
Each serves his country
in his own way:
1:15:26
One with a sword,
the other with a pen.
1:15:30
Posterity will choose
between your name and mine.
1:15:35
I will not stand these insults to men
intent only on doing their duty!
1:15:40
Gentlemen of the jury,
it is outrageous, traitorous...
1:15:44
...to deprive the army of confidence
in its chiefs in the day of danger!
1:15:49
And, believe me,
it is nearer than you think!
1:15:52
Gentlemen, it is your sons who will be
called on to defend France...
1:15:57
...while Monsieur Zola will stay at home
and write a new Downfall.
