1:44:00
I see where you're trying
to lead me.
1:44:05
Leave that kind of argument
to the defense. That's his role.
1:44:10
Since you refer to me, Lt. De Scève'
1:44:14
I have one guestion:
1:44:16
When you entrusted Erlane
with that despatch'
1:44:19
was he aware of its content?
1:44:23
Or its importance?
1:44:25
Nor had he a sense of his role.
1:44:27
If he didn't know
our gun placements'
1:44:30
which the Bulgarians
could easily decipher'
1:44:36
then he's no longer
1:44:38
a conscious, deliberate deserter
to the enemy'
1:44:42
but a mere boy of 20'
weakened and vulnerable'
1:44:46
lost in a situation
beyond his limits
1:44:49
and understanding.
1:44:52
There are the strong and the weak.
1:44:55
You want me to say
that Erlane is sick'
1:44:58
an oversensitive and morbid soul'
1:45:01
paralysed by his emotions
1:45:04
and deprived of all will.
1:45:07
Thus, in certain cases'
irresponsible.
1:45:09
That's the word you want
to hear from my lips.
1:45:13
No!
1:45:16
Where is he from?
1:45:17
From a world I know. My world.
1:45:19
A world of highborn privilege
and wealth.
1:45:24
He had it all, enjoyed it all.
1:45:27
The counterpart is valor.
1:45:30
The gravity of an action
1:45:33
depends on one's will
to accomplish it.
1:45:36
I know a venial sin
from a mortal one, Father.
1:45:41
He is guilty of treason'
as he did not destroy the despatch.
1:45:44
The enemy surprised us
without a single casualty.
1:45:48
While we lost 37 men!
1:45:51
37!
1:45:52
You have no pity for this wretch!
1:45:54
You make declarations
1:45:56
that none can ever prove!
1:45:59
Or even refute! Not even him.
