A second-in-command
is allowed to be heroic.

1:47:05
The rank and file are required to be heroic.
1:47:08
But their leader
has no right to risk the lives of his men...

1:47:13
by personal acts of heroism.
1:47:15
A leader must be correct.
1:47:17
Then the ideal leader would be a computer.
1:47:19
Samoilovich, your verdict.
1:47:21
In our opinion,
we have no right to judge General Nobile.

1:47:26
Just too bad.
1:47:27
They don't want to take any part in the jury.
1:47:30
But the others have to judge.
1:47:34
Guilty.
1:47:37
Guilty.
1:47:39
- Guilty.
- Guilty.

1:47:41
The jury is unanimous.
1:47:43
But I discount the verdict.
1:47:45
What? Why do you discount the verdict?
1:47:49
Take yourself, for instance, Captain Zappi.
1:47:51
You are clearly an officer
of great initiative...

1:47:54
and perhaps you should have led
an expedition of your own.

1:47:56
Thank you.
1:47:57
But as a second-in-command...
1:48:00
I personally wouldn't take you
on an expedition across a municipal park.

1:48:05
'Tis a thousand pities
that the merely reliable Captain Romagna...

1:48:08
was not in your place.
1:48:10
Thank you.
1:48:11
And a million pities
that Captain Zappi was not in yours.

1:48:16
Lieutenant Lundborg...
1:48:18
why did you so urgently persuade
the General to save his own life first?

1:48:24
Daren't you answer?
1:48:28
You disappoint me.
1:48:30
Yes.
1:48:32
Yes, I've heard it said
that I was paid a lot of money.

1:48:35
Yes? By whom?
1:48:36
By an insurance company
who would have had to pay a lot more...

1:48:39
if the General had lost his life.
1:48:42
You did it for money, then.
1:48:44
If I did, I wouldn't be ashamed of it.
1:48:47
Men are risking their necks
for fame, a medal...

1:48:51
promotion, or money.
What's wrong with money?

1:48:53
Just a means to happiness.
1:48:55
But you don't look like
a happy man, exactly.

1:48:58
More like a man who's learned to be
indifferent to unhappiness.
