1:26:00
I don't want to upset you, but you have
an excellent chance of being hanged.
1:26:05
We'll answer anything you wanna know.
1:26:08
All right. Which are you?
1:26:10
A fool or a mutineer?
There's no third possibility.
1:26:13
The only way I could prove
I was right was to let the ship go down.
1:26:18
-Three ships were lost in the typhoon.
-Sure.
1:26:21
And 194 stayed afloat
without relieving the skipper.
1:26:24
-There wasn't any other choice!
-Hold it.
1:26:28
Maybe I was a fool,
but I'm not a mutineer.
1:26:30
He should get a medal for what he did.
1:26:33
He had a paranoid skipper who
fell apart when the ship was in danger.
1:26:36
He saved the ship.
1:26:37
The navy has three psychiatrists
prepared to say Oueeg is sane.
1:26:41
Sure. Paranoids are clever.
1:26:44
They walk a thin line
between sanity and lunacy.
1:26:49
Are you a psychiatrist?
1:26:50
No, I'm a writer. It's my business
to be a judge of human behavior.
1:26:54
I see. And you were the first to notioe
the captain's psychotic symptoms?
1:26:58
Yes.
1:27:00
You explained all this to Mr. Maryk?
1:27:03
I discussed it.
1:27:05
That's an interesting point. Are you
ready to repeat it on the witness stand?
1:27:09
Why not?
1:27:11
You ought to take a look
at Article 186 of navy regulations.
1:27:17
"An officer relieving his commanding
officer, or recommending such action...
1:27:21
together with afI others
who so council...
1:27:24
must bear the legitimate responsibility
and must justify such aotion."
1:27:29
That's confusing the issue.
1:27:31
I'm not on trial.
If I were, I'd take the rap.
1:27:33
It's too bad we can't use you
as an expert on psychiatry.
1:27:37
After all, you made the diagnosis.
1:27:39
Yes.
1:27:43
The atmosphere's getting
a little thick in here.
1:27:47
If you can get along without me,
I'll wait in the hall.
1:27:50
Tom had nothing to do with it.
It was my decision.
1:27:53
-Nobody told me what to do.
-Sure.
1:27:57
Will you take the case?
1:27:59
I'd much rather prosecute.
