:07:02
They consider themselves patriots.
:07:04
We French came along with a mandate--
:07:06
They don't like it, and they don't trust us!
l know all that!
:07:10
l know how to make them happy, too.
Pack up my army and march out.
:07:14
lf l may say so, there is another way.
You could send me to see Emir Hassan.
:07:19
You never let go of an idea, do you?
:07:20
lt still isn't too late to arrange a truce.
:07:22
You'd only get your throat cut.
You know what a butcher he is.
:07:27
l wonder what they'll call you
after you execute those hostages.
:07:31
Never mind what they'll call me.
l'm only concerned with doing my duty.
:07:38
What about the men who are supplying them
guns and ammunition?
:07:41
-You should have had some results by now.
-l think l have a lead.
:07:45
But one or two leads. lt's like trying
to stop up the holes in a sieve.
:07:51
You want them to call me softheaded.
Sentimental.
:07:56
You have to be realistic.
:07:59
There's more than one way
of being realistic, sir.
:08:12
-Robbinet!
-Yes, sir.
:08:18
Countermand my order to shoot hostages.
:08:20
Arrest them, hold them for 48 hours
and then release them.
:08:23
Yes, sir.
:08:32
Satisfied, Louie?
:08:36
Perhaps you're right.
:08:38
Perhaps sending someone
to see the Emir is the best way.
:08:43
That pleases you, doesn't it?
:08:48
lt's worth a try.
:08:51
But l'm not sending you.
:08:53
You're too valuable a man.
Send someone else in your place.
:08:57
Lt. Collet.
