Good heavens!
Some friend will have done that to him...

:51:04
to make a propaganda photograph
in tomorrow's press.

:51:06
And will his suicide tonight
make another propaganda photograph...

:51:12
in tomorrow's press?
:51:14
Your Worship, we are out there
every day of our lives...

:51:17
fighting these terrorists and communists.
And this man here...

:51:20
tries to cast unwarranted suspicion
on the Special Branch.

:51:24
Special Branch?
:51:27
Mr. Peterson, the photographs.
I'll give you Special Branch. Thank you.

:51:31
I have photographs here...
:51:33
that I'm sure will make you
rather proud of your Special Branch, sir.

:51:38
He tried to throw himself against the bars
of his window. We had to restrain him.

:51:43
With clubs and whips?
:51:44
No, we used no clubs, no whips.
:51:47
Then how do you account for
these lacerations...

:51:49
these crisscross lacerations
across his front and back?

:51:53
He must have hit the bars
when he tried to jump out of his window.

:51:56
He behaved like a wild animal.
:52:01
Captain Stolz,
would you have this court believe...

:52:04
that this man tried to throw himself
through the window forwards...

:52:09
and being frustrated in that effort...
:52:11
he turned himself round...
:52:13
and with great force, threw himself
backwards towards the window?

:52:17
Evidently.
:52:19
Would you care to demonstrate that
for this court?

:52:22
No.
:52:24
Very well.
:52:26
Now, as for the very special
and good works of your Special Branch.

:52:32
The seventh right rib broken.
:52:34
The right arm broken.
:52:36
Blood clots on the brain.
:52:39
The whole body covered with bruises.
:52:42
Are you too ashamed
to look at these photographs, sir?

:52:49
Here's one that might please you indeed.
:52:52
His jaw broken.
:52:54
His nose broken.
:52:55
His cheekbone crushed.
:52:57
His eye hanging out of its socket
and dangling on the crushed cheekbone.
