1:28:03
Well, I guess I can't blame you.
1:28:10
I'll take it.
1:28:13
-How do we plead?
-Your case depends on Maryk.

1:28:17
-Then how do I plead?
-Not guilty, of course.

1:28:20
You're a great naval hero.
1:28:24
"Charge: making a mutiny.
1:28:26
Specification: In that, Stephen Maryk,
United States Naval Reserve...

1:28:31
while serving on board the U.S.S. Caine,
did, on or about July 31, 1944...

1:28:36
willfully, forcibly,
and without proper authority...

1:28:39
relieve Lieutenant Commander
Philip Queeg, U.S. Navy...

1:28:42
who was then and there engaged in
the lawful exercise of his command--

1:28:46
the United States then being
in a state of war.

1:28:51
You've heard the charge
and specification preferred against you.

1:28:54
How say you to the specification?
Guilty or not guilty?

1:28:57
-Not guilty.
-How say you to the charge?

1:28:59
-Guilty or not guilty?
-Not guilty.

1:29:07
The prosecution is prepared to prove...
1:29:11
that the removal of Lieutenant Commander
Oueeg was not justified...

1:29:14
by any provision
of the U.S. Navy regulations...

1:29:16
and consequently constituted the making
of a mutiny against legal authority.

1:29:21
We'll also submit psychiatric testimony,
establishing, without a doubt...

1:29:25
that Lieutenant Commander Queeg
is a sane, intelligent officer...

1:29:28
and should not have been relieved.
1:29:32
No statement at this time.
1:29:34
In order to establish
the circumstances...

1:29:37
the prosecution would like to first call
Ensign Willis Keith.

1:29:42
Mr. Keith, were you the officer
of the deok on the D.M.S. Caine...

1:29:46
during the morning of July 31st?
1:29:48
Yes.
1:29:49
Was the captain relieved by
the executive officer during that watch?

1:29:54
-Yes, sir.
-Do you know why he took that action?

1:29:57
I do.
