the telephone clerk, and, uh...
my own deposition.
1:05:07
What has all this got to do with
the charge against the prisoners?
1:05:10
A general in a tantrum
over the failure of an impossible attack
1:05:14
orders his artillery to fire on his own men.
1:05:18
Now, the same officer on the same day
1:05:20
orders a court martial in which
three of his men are sentenced to be shot.
1:05:25
General, what would your newspapers
and your politicians do with that?
1:05:31
Colonel Dax,
are you trying to blackmail me?
1:05:34
Sir, that's an ugly word,
but you are in a difficult position.
1:05:37
Too much has happened. Someone's
got to be hurt. The only question is who.
1:05:43
General Mireau's assault
on the Ant Hill failed.
1:05:46
His order to fire on
his own troops was refused,
1:05:50
but his attempt to murder three innocent
men to protect his own reputation
1:05:54
will be prevented by the general staff.
1:06:04
Will you pardon me, Colonel Dax?
I've been rude to my guests too long.
1:06:24
(cock crows)
1:06:34
Detail, halt!
1:06:37
Order arms!
1:06:40
Fall out.
