The troops are mutinying,
refusing to advance. Fire as ordered!
:32:32
With all respect, you have no right
to order me to shoot down my own men
:32:35
unless you are willing
to take full responsibility for it.
:32:39
Captain Rousseau,
will you obey my order?
:32:41
I must have a written order before
I can execute such a command, sir.
:32:45
Supposing you're killed. Where will I be?
:32:47
In front of a firing squad
tomorrow morning, that's where!
:32:51
Hand over your command and report
yourself under arrest to my headquarters.

Roget! Lieutenant Roget,
why are your men still in here?
:33:10
- It's impossible, sir. Major Vignon is dead.
- Get these men out of the trenches!
:33:14
Come on! Let's get ready for another try.
:33:17
- Get these men outta here!
- I tried three times.
:33:21
All right! Let's give it another try!
:33:24
Come on! Let's give it another try!
:33:27
(blows whistle)
:33:37
It's impossible, sir.
All the men are falling back.
:33:41
Sir, I respectfully submit to the colonel...
:33:45
Pardon me. Your remarks to me
were very unfair, sir.
:33:50
It's just impossible.
It's just impossible.
:33:54
According to reports,
the attack has failed all along the line.
:33:57
The men are falling back
to our own trenches.
