This is just the first act.
The finale's still to come.
3:43:14
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
3:43:23
I assumed command of a badly-handled
ship. I tried to bring in into line.
3:43:29
Lt. Maryk opposed me
from the first.
3:43:32
Maybe he thought I was crazy
to keep trying.
3:43:36
Was your ship on the verge of
foundering when you were relieved?
3:43:42
A typhoon is an extreme hazard,
but the ship was riding well.
3:43:48
Lt. Maryk went into a panic.
3:43:51
He believed
only he could save the ship.
3:43:55
Ensign Keith, a disloyal officer,
combined with him against me.
3:44:02
It was bad luck for them. I bear
them no malice. I'm sorry for them.
3:44:08
- No more questions.
- A word of caution, Mr Greenwald.
3:44:14
The defence will try to challenge
the competence of Captain Queeg.
3:44:19
Nevertheless, all the requirements
of military respect remain in force.
3:44:25
During a period
when the Caine was towing targets. -
3:44:30
- Did you ever
steam over your own tow line?
3:44:33
Objection. The defence outrages
the dignity of this proceeding.
3:44:38
The prosecution believes the report
of the psychiatrist closes the case.
3:44:44
But it is up to you naval officers
to judge the captain's performance.
3:44:49
And I must review that performance.
3:44:53
- Objection overruled.
- Did you steam over your tow line?
3:44:58
I'm happy to dispose
of this particular slander.
