:15:01
-How soon can you set up a court-martial?
-ln about three or four weeks.
:15:05
Good. The sooner, the better.
Get Pakenham to prosecute. Where is he?
:15:08
Judge Advocates' headquarters.
:15:10
Get him. You'd better get
the defense counsel from the outside, too.
:15:14
Dowling, I want you
to be at the disposal of the girl's doctor.
:15:17
Medical consultations,
anything that he has in mind.
:15:19
As far as she's concerned,
I want you to look after her personally.
:15:23
-I'll do that.
-What about the press?
:15:25
The whole town's in an uproar.
:15:27
What did you expect?
A vote of confidence? A tribute?
:15:29
Of course the town's in an uproar!
:15:31
Damned animals prowling
around the countryside.
:15:37
-Yes?
-Burgermeister is calling on one.
:15:40
Right. I'll take it.
:15:44
Good morning, Herr Burgermeister.
:15:46
That all sounds fine, Herr General...
:15:49
...but if you pardon me for saying so,
people here want proof of good intentions.
:15:54
I've tried to explain...
:15:55
...that no army should be judged
by a few degenerates...
:15:58
...but people are not open to reason
when an outrage occurs...
:16:01
...and it was an outrage!
:16:03
I quite agree with you,
and we intend to treat it as such.
:16:07
We plan to have this trial wide open,
smack in the middle of the town.
:16:11
Is there a public building
you could place at our disposal?
:16:14
A fairly large one?
:16:16
I'm sure you can have
the high-school gymnasium.
:16:18
I want everybody to see
exactly how we handle a thing like this.
:16:23
Yes?
:16:23
- Maj. Dowling is back, sir.
-Send him in. Our medical officer.
:16:29
Did you see her?
:16:30
Just been at the hospital.
She's not well at all, sir.
:16:33
-Bad state of shock.
-How will these men be punished?
:16:37
That's the main thing.
That's what I have to tell my people.
:16:40
According to our military law...
:16:42
...for rape there are various terms
of imprisonment at hard labor...
:16:45
...depending on the degree of the crime.
The maximum penalty is death.
:16:49
Surely, a crime like that
calls for the maximum, doesn't it?
:16:52
The prosecutor,
with my consent, asks the penalty...
:16:55
...but the court, after hearing prosecution
and defense, decides the penalty.
