00:11:44 Marine Lieutenant Presley O'Banion
00:11:47 on the shores ofTripoli
00:11:49 Out of gratitude, the pasha
00:11:53 Marine officers have
00:11:55 It's the symbol
00:11:58 and you are a warrior.
00:12:01 The best I ever served with.
00:12:09 This man's been riding a desk
00:12:11 but not because he wanted to.
00:12:14 He knows how to fight.
00:12:21 What are you
00:12:24 Well, uh... Well.
00:12:27 Heh! No more wars to fight,
00:12:32 So I expect I'll do
00:12:35 I will recon the local restaurants
00:12:38 to find out what civilians eat.
00:12:42 Of course, I intend to continue
00:12:45 by honorably depleting
00:12:47 of the Southern United States
00:12:53 That's about it.
00:12:59 Let's get outta here.
00:13:06 - I missed you.
00:13:09 How's the kid,
00:13:11 You know, he studies more than
00:13:15 - You gotta fix that.
00:13:21 - Got my orders.
00:13:23 Got command of the 24th
00:13:27 - Special Operations capable.
00:13:31 - Yeah.
00:13:33 All I gotta do is lash
00:13:37 That's, uh... outstanding.
00:13:42 You ain't missin' nothin', Hodge.
00:13:46 No friends, no enemies,
00:13:49 No victories, no defeats,
00:13:51 - Yeah.
00:13:54 It's funny, you know?
00:13:57 One guy walks out through a swamp,
00:13:59 Another guy drives up a hill
00:14:02 all over the flip
00:14:04 You know, that's...
00:14:08 It's funny.
00:14:11 You gave good service
00:14:15 To think otherwise
00:14:19 - You'd have gotten your command.
00:14:55 What's up, John?
00:14:57 Terry, we've been ordered
00:15:00 This comes straight down Second
00:15:03 The American Embassy in Yemen
00:15:05 by a crowd of demonstrators.
00:15:07 The crowd isn't hostile,
00:15:08 to spook their government
00:15:11 Twenty-fourth Marine Expeditionary
00:15:15 We're gonna baby-sit, Colonel.

00:17:09 The people are upset
00:17:12 - Are they mad at Daddy?
00:17:15 Why are they yelling?
00:17:17 They're trying to get attention
00:17:51 Sir, state security analysts
00:17:54 Assessment? We're getting the hell
00:17:57 The Sixth Fleet marines
00:17:59 If they think I'm gonna
00:18:02 Tell Mrs. Mourain to start packing.
00:18:05 Shall I indicate

00:28:06 Krasevitch is hit!
00:28:14 Corpsman! Corpsman!
00:28:18 Goddamn it!
00:28:21 Fuck!
00:28:29 Six, Red Man.
00:28:31 Engage hostile targets
00:28:33 Deadly force is authorized.
00:28:36 Red Man, Trans Six Actual.
00:28:39 Be advised, I have women
00:28:42 I got snipers in the buildings
00:28:45 What is it about this order
00:28:49 Sir, are you ordering me
00:28:52 Yes, goddamn it!
00:28:55 Six out.
00:28:58 Open fire!
00:29:21 Cease fire!
00:29:24 Cease fire!
00:29:27 Cease fire!
00:29:29 Stay down! There may still be
00:29:32 Cease fire!
00:29:34 - Cease fire, goddamn it!
00:29:38 There may still be snipers
00:29:42 Get down!
00:30:41 - Sergeant Mac.
00:30:43 Contact all stations.
00:30:46 Launch medevacs.
00:30:51 Aye, Colonel.
00:30:53 All stations, this is RedMan.
00:30:57 Move all medevacs to L.Z.
00:31:18 The FBI. investigation shows...
00:31:19 that all the bullet holes
00:31:22 came from directly across
00:31:25 Any weapons or ammo found
00:31:28 No, sir. Nothing.
00:31:32 this could have been
00:31:34 Any proof?
00:31:36 This is a tape from
00:31:40 - Want me to thread it up?
00:31:42 I don't want to hear about
00:31:45 'cause here I got
00:31:48 unarmed...
00:31:51 Another hundred or so
00:31:53 Here I got an international
00:31:58 Bill, you know there have been
00:32:00 of a terrorist
00:32:02 This was a regularly scheduled
00:32:05 It was the usual bullshit about
00:32:09 Have you looked at these?
00:32:13 since they're on the front page
00:32:17 It's not that the rest of the
00:32:20 we are responsible!
00:32:24 We can't even have
00:32:26 That does not excuse us
00:32:29 We sent Colonel Childers in there,
00:32:35 We can't go after the man
00:32:37 and ignore the people
00:32:39 Childers ordered the slaughter...
00:32:41 of innocent women and children.
00:32:44 I'll tell you
00:32:45 We lost three
00:32:47 They lost 83!
00:32:50 Now, are we gonna go to war
00:32:53 We're covering our ass all over
00:32:57 Because of your man's
00:33:00 we are in danger of losing embassies
00:33:04 We're in danger
00:33:07 with every moderate
00:33:10 Now they're gonna scream
00:33:12 The screaming will get so loud we'll
00:33:15 and the body count of American
00:33:20 I see where you're going
00:33:24 Will you be needing me
00:33:28 No.
00:33:30 No, that's fine, General.
00:33:32 Good day to you, sir.
00:33:48 Where do you think
00:33:51 - You don't want to look at it.
00:33:56 Why should the United States
00:33:59 for the actions of one man?
00:34:03 What if the crowd
00:34:05 What if this shows
00:34:08 He could have fired over
00:34:11 Didn't he know where he was?
00:34:14 He could have isolated
00:34:15 He could have
00:34:17 He could have done
00:34:19 Instead, he destroyed a fragile
00:34:22 Fuck this guy!
00:34:25 I don't want to watch it.
00:34:32 I don't want it to exist.
00:34:46 Good morning, sir.
00:34:49 Good morning, sir.
00:34:54 Aye, aye, sir.
00:34:56 As soon as it's time.
00:35:03 General, Colonel Childers
00:35:07 - Give us a minute, Skip.
00:35:13 Colonel, it's my duty to inform
00:35:20 You know the drill.
00:35:28 This is the Article 32
00:35:30 You're facing
00:35:32 and charged with violation
00:35:35 everything from "breach of peace"
00:35:37 But the bottom line... 83 counts,
00:35:43 You issued an illegal order
00:35:45 fire into a group
00:35:48 Murder, sir?
00:35:55 I'm the convening authority, so I've
00:36:01 Sign here, initial here.
00:36:08 You're not a flight risk, so there
00:36:16 This court-martial convenes
00:36:19 by direct order of
00:36:24 Do you want me to call
00:36:27 or do you want to go
00:36:32 Terry, goddamn it,
00:36:41 You want to tell me exactly
00:36:46 I lost marines. The crowd
00:36:51 They fired first, sir.
00:36:54 I want you to know
00:36:57 to keep this from happening.
00:36:59 It's just out
00:37:14 Thanks a lot.
00:37:16 When's the last time you
00:37:20 Two years.
00:37:27 - I really need your help.
00:37:31 You want me to take the stand?
00:37:33 No, you don't understand
00:37:36 I want you
00:37:43 I'm a good enough lawyer to know
00:37:47 'Sides that, I'm short.
00:37:49 Two-nine plus one wake-up,
00:37:51 You need one of those
00:37:53 I don't want some Starbucks
00:37:57 - I need somebody who's been shot at.
00:38:00 That's what I am...
00:38:03 As a matter of fact,
00:38:07 No, wait a minute.
00:38:11 I'm a very weak lawyer...
00:38:14 and the government is gonna come
00:38:28 Major, Bill Sokal. It's a pleasure
00:38:31 Let me introduce you.
00:38:33 Gentlemen, this
00:38:35 He'll be prosecuting
00:38:37 The marines put the major
00:38:40 and he owes them a couple of years
00:38:43 You know General Lowry.
00:38:45 I'd like you to meet the general
00:38:48 General West, and the secretary
00:38:50 Have a seat.
00:38:52 What I gather from our esteemed NSC
00:38:56 is that we've got a trial
00:38:59 - Seems awfully damned fast.
00:39:02 it's in the national interest that
00:39:05 The Article 32 investigation
00:39:09 It all seems to point
00:39:10 Has he got a lawyer yet?
00:39:12 He's requested a military
00:39:15 Second Marine Division, Lejeune.
00:39:18 Any relation to
00:39:19 His son.
00:39:21 Larry Hodges was one of this country's
00:39:23 What do we know about
00:39:26 He's a guy who got
00:39:28 then went to Georgetown Law
00:39:31 Is that about right, Major?
00:39:33 He was 67th in his class
00:39:35 He doesn't take too many cases,
00:39:38 He apparently went through an ugly
00:39:41 retiring in two weeks.
00:39:45 Sir, if I may
00:39:49 I am not a hired gun.
00:39:51 I accepted this assignment...
00:39:53 'cause I believe in the merits
00:39:55 I am not gonna stack the deck
00:39:58 I will try this case
00:40:00 I'm glad to hear it.
00:40:37 Hold your fire.
00:40:40 Set that weapon down over here.
00:40:47 We need
00:40:56 Party incoming!
00:40:59 You can go, goddamn it!
00:41:02 Get the fuck out of here
00:41:10 Looks like you're going back
00:41:13 - Doc!
00:41:17 - Right there.
00:41:41 I got you now!
00:41:45 - Hey, buddy!
00:41:49 He looks fabulous.
00:41:51 - Happy anniversary, Mom.
00:41:53 I wasn't sure you'd make it.
00:41:54 - You look wonderful.
00:41:56 - How's it feel to be retired?
00:41:59 Good. Oh, you look great.
00:42:00 - Thank you.
00:42:02 - There he is.
00:42:04 Hello, sir.
00:42:07 - Glad you could make it.
00:42:15 Good to see you, Hayes.
00:42:18 Hey, kid. Hey, you.
00:42:22 - The old guy who looks like you.
00:42:25 - Yeah.
00:42:27 Here's a clue. I was married
00:42:30 - Really? You sure? 'Cause I don't...
00:42:37 - Well, is he guilty?
00:42:40 Your friend
00:42:43 - Guilty of what, sir?
00:42:46 You served with him. Is he the rabid
00:42:50 I don't think
00:42:52 Come on, Dad. This is family.
00:42:55 You know what we said
00:42:57 Even if you thought
00:43:00 it went wrong
00:43:02 Since when have you
00:43:04 Since Childers asked me
00:43:06 No. Oh, Hayes.
00:43:08 - What?
00:43:11 - Are you kidding me?
00:43:13 Why would you do that?
00:43:16 - Because he asked me, and I owe him.
00:43:19 That represents everything
00:43:22 Wisdom from the one person
00:43:24 who has not elected
00:43:28 Childers must have snapped.
00:43:30 I've seen it.
00:43:33 Thank you for reminding me...
00:43:35 why we have the presumption
00:43:38 What are you, Abraham
00:43:41 The guy murdered innocent women
00:43:43 - You hear that on television?
00:43:45 - It's all over the place.
00:43:56 Don't take this case, son.
00:43:58 This man has trashed
00:44:01 He's put us back 20 years.
00:44:07 Is this how you want
00:44:10 I don't see how I can
00:44:12 Well, I understand that
00:44:15 But you don't repay him by
00:44:20 The way I see it,
00:44:23 the best laywer in the country.
00:44:30 The guy's
00:44:32 I mean, if they
00:44:35 just hang him out to dry...
00:44:38 Forget that he's my friend.
00:44:42 That means your medals
00:44:45 won't mean jack shit
00:44:55 At least two of his own guys
00:44:57 that he didn't have
00:45:00 Nobody reports seeing any
00:45:04 - His psych eval was a disaster.
00:45:07 Cameras, film, videotape,
00:45:09 No, I've subpoenaed everything.
00:45:15 Most of it was destroyed.
00:45:22 Terry, you know Tom Chandler.
00:45:25 Colonel Childers, good to see
00:45:29 First, we've subpoenaed all
00:45:33 the State Department's
00:45:35 Major Biggs has already had
00:45:38 I've got you an appointment
00:45:40 - No.
00:45:42 No more multiple choice
00:45:45 We got the combat fitness reports.
00:45:48 That's a mistake, Colonel.
00:45:50 Listen, when I turned 18
00:45:53 I asked to be in the infantry.
00:45:56 - I asked to go to Vietnam.
00:45:58 I live for the privilege
00:46:00 I think it's the greatest honor
00:46:03 You know how many birthdays
00:46:06 spent rotting in jungles
00:46:08 just so you could play
00:46:10 Childers! You gotta keep
00:46:14 Your court-martial board
00:46:17 who might've spent one day in
00:46:19 They're gonna be beach boys who've
00:46:22 They're gonna be people
00:46:23 sitting right here in front of you.
00:46:25 That's who you're
00:46:28 We don't have anybody
00:46:32 That's because
00:46:37 - Okay. So what happened?
00:46:40 That's good.
00:46:42 This doesn't happen in a vacuum.
00:46:44 Let's get a complete history
00:46:46 Talk to every marine
00:46:49 My guess is
00:46:51 We have to be careful here.
00:46:53 This guy is
00:46:56 A Navy Cross, two Silver Stars
00:47:01 He has no wife, no kids,
00:47:04 He was our best.
00:47:09 He's not on trial for the
00:47:11 but for what he did
00:47:14 Major, nobody wants to say it,
00:47:16 but it occurs to me we're trying
00:47:19 So let's set it and show
00:47:22 The first charge supports the death
00:47:26 No more death.
00:47:28 I'll see that he never gets another
00:47:31 but I will not seek death for a man
00:47:34 I don't want it
00:47:37 We gotta show
00:47:40 We gotta prove he went out
00:47:42 and that is not going to be easy.
00:47:44 Whether a man is charged
00:47:47 is sometimes a very thin line.
00:47:50 Our case is this. Childers receives
00:47:54 I awful protest outside
00:47:58 He is to secure
00:48:01 There has been no violence
00:48:04 Once there, Ambassador Mourain...
00:48:05 does not feel the situation
00:48:08 - Childers ignores him.
00:48:10 They draw fire from snipers
00:48:13 Childers retaliates into an unarmed
00:48:17 A crowd of women and children.
00:48:23 All right, here's what this means.
00:48:25 Murder... Obviously, he could get
00:48:28 Conduct unbecoming an officer.
00:48:29 Max is dismissal
00:48:32 for feature of all pay and allowances
00:48:36 What about breach
00:48:38 Breaching the peace is minor.
00:48:40 That means participating in an act
00:48:44 that deprives the community of the
00:48:47 It's sort of the military equivalent
00:48:50 No big deal.
00:48:54 There he is!
00:48:57 Baby killer!
00:49:00 You're disgusting!
00:49:03 I'm not answering any questions,
00:49:06 You fucking baby killer!
00:49:09 Fuck you!
00:49:13 Who the fuck are you
00:49:33 You ever play blackjack, Colonel?
00:49:35 Not really.
00:49:39 There are no intangibles.
00:49:44 You know them, you'll beat
00:49:47 You know what cards have been
00:49:52 Sometimes you just can't win
00:49:57 I saw your man on television
00:50:01 You have to understand the kind of
00:50:03 A man with that kind of service...
00:50:06 This was a rescue mission
00:50:09 You're aware, Colonel,
00:50:12 You're not serious.
00:50:13 Oh, I'm very serious.
00:50:16 What do you think would happen
00:50:19 He'd have a trial
00:50:21 and they'd take off his head.
00:50:23 Have a seat, Colonel.
00:50:26 Please.
00:50:34 So here it is.
00:50:36 He throws himself at the mercy.
00:50:37 - We'll help him out at sentencing.
00:50:40 I'm not about to promise you
00:50:43 in the neighborhood of ten
00:50:46 Major,
00:50:47 do you know what the life expectancy
00:50:50 dropped into a combat zone
00:50:53 I don't have time
00:50:56 Then what's all this shit about
00:50:59 You got time.
00:51:04 My guess is your man's going down
00:51:09 I got a question for you, Colonel.
00:51:13 The battle of Ca Lu,
00:51:17 You were there with Childers.
00:51:20 Fuck you is what happened
00:51:25 Two weeks.
00:51:27 Life expectancy of
00:51:29 in combat in Vietnam
00:51:31 Sir, I need more time
00:51:33 I need your permission
00:51:35 It's all here, Hodge. We did an
00:51:39 This thing happened
00:51:41 Colonel, it's all here.
00:51:43 We had it brought from Yemen,
00:51:45 a court-martial
00:51:47 There could be witnesses, something
00:51:51 Don't you think Colonel Childers
00:51:54 Colonel Hodges, I don't care
00:51:58 We have our marching orders,
00:52:00 will convene
00:52:02 - Now, is that clear?
00:52:08 One! Two!
00:52:21 ...contact the sergeant?
00:52:36 Terry?
00:52:51 Terry?
00:52:59 Childers?
00:53:06 Ohh.
00:53:09 Oh, shit.
00:53:14 It's okay.
00:53:16 It's okay.
00:53:18 - I wasn't...
00:53:22 It's okay. It's all right.
00:53:27 Can I leave you alone
00:53:31 Yeah. I ain't goin' six
00:53:33 I'm goin' to Yemen.
00:53:34 If I have to stick your ass
00:53:36 that is what I will do.
00:53:40 Got your word on that?
00:53:44 Oh, shit.
00:53:46 They take my uniform away,
00:53:48 You can live with it, bud.
00:53:54 I'm not gonna shit you.
00:53:57 You plead guilty, it's
00:54:01 - What do you think?
00:54:05 For a whole lot of reasons,
00:54:22 I did what they
00:54:25 I lost marines over there.
00:54:35 If I'm guilty of this,
00:54:38 I'm guilty of everything I've done
00:54:47 I don't know.
00:55:32 Colonel Hodges?
00:55:35 I'm not in uniform and I'm not
00:55:38 Please know that I'm saluting
00:55:41 I've got some Kevlar back there
00:55:43 We're not the most popular team
00:55:46 Hustings, are you a wiseass?
00:55:48 My mother prefers to
00:55:51 Very well then. You will most glibly
00:55:56 Roger that, sir.
00:56:20 I've lined up some people who were
00:56:24 - We can start tomorrow.
00:56:26 - All right. Here we are.
00:56:29 Roger that, sir.
00:56:51 The old embassy was
00:56:54 Got pretty shot up.
00:56:56 We're moving the newone
00:56:58 behind about a mile
00:57:08 - You want me to come with you, sir?
00:57:10 Stay with the vehicle.
00:57:13 Yes, sir.
01:01:54 Armed American marines,
01:01:58 They were just trying
01:02:01 Is he saying
01:02:09 Why were your police officers
01:02:12 on the day of the riot?
01:02:22 It was a peaceful demonstration.
01:02:26 After the killing, were
01:02:37 No. They picked up everything
01:03:06 Hey!
01:03:13 No, look. Now, wait.
01:03:16 Wait a minute, fellas.
01:03:25 Hey. Hey!
01:05:16 Hi. What's your name?
01:05:19 Do you speak English?
01:05:21 You're a very pretty girl.
01:05:23 Katchi!
01:05:25 Is that your name? "Katchi"?
01:05:28 - May I help you?
01:05:33 I was wondering
01:05:36 She lost her leg.
01:05:40 I'm a lawyer with the United States
01:05:44 - A marine lawyer?
01:05:46 Follow me, please.
01:06:17 There are hospitals like this
01:06:24 Most of the people here
01:07:57 Sir? Do you want
01:08:19 Give me another one!
01:08:23 Open the goddamn door!
01:08:39 What's wrong with you?
01:08:41 Get yourself a new lawyer,
01:08:43 I could not find
01:08:46 I couldn't find
01:08:48 Not for our side
01:08:51 You clearly opened up
01:08:53 Rag heads, camel jockeys
01:08:57 - You through?
01:09:02 Get up.
01:09:04 Come on. Get up. Come on.
01:09:12 Look at you.
01:09:14 All you proved is
01:09:16 You know what your problem is? You
01:09:19 But I can't help you with that.
01:10:26 Stop this shit
01:11:03 I lost every one
01:11:06 And I'll tell you
01:11:09 Joy.
01:11:13 Elation.
01:11:17 I was glad it wasn't me, and
01:11:29 That wasn't your fault.
01:11:33 We're in deep shit, bud.
01:11:36 Yeah.
01:11:43 It's fourth and 40, Hodge.
01:11:47 I need a Hail Mary.
01:11:50 How?
01:12:19 Send him in.
01:12:34 I just want to make sure
01:12:37 - Off the record.
01:12:40 Now, you didn't see any weapons
01:12:45 Well...
01:12:47 There was some shooting,
01:12:50 couldn't be sure exactly
01:12:54 Now, see, that's
01:12:57 because we can't get on the stand
01:13:01 Waffle, Bill?
01:13:03 In your mind, Childers
01:13:06 I wasn't exactly there.
01:13:09 You have to remember
01:13:11 This all happened after...
01:13:13 Does that mean the United States...
01:13:14 is gonna have to take the fall
01:13:16 I don't understand.
01:13:20 The investigating team didn't
01:13:23 That's because they weren't
01:13:26 The Yemeni government
01:13:28 but unfortunately that's
01:13:31 Nor can I testify about it.
01:13:34 Yeah, but you can testify
01:13:37 his behavior
01:13:40 He saved my life.
01:13:44 Surely this will all come down
01:13:47 The tape's inconclusive.
01:13:50 Hodges subpoenaed it,
01:13:55 it was a faulty recording.
01:13:59 - I see.
01:14:02 If Childers isn't held
01:14:06 then the United States
01:14:09 And just guess...
01:14:12 where the finger...
01:14:14 is eventually gonna point.
01:14:18 - Me?
01:14:22 You should've known
01:14:25 And if you didn't,
01:14:28 Either way, your conduct
01:14:32 Now, do you want to face a
01:14:36 put your career at risk?
01:14:39 Think about it.
01:14:42 Thank you, Bill.
01:15:52 All rise.
01:16:03 Be seated.
01:16:08 Look closely
01:16:12 Why did a well-trained
01:16:14 have to slaughter unarmed
01:16:18 when their orders
01:16:20 and if necessary,
01:16:25 The answer is,
01:16:27 They were ordered to open fire,
01:16:31 Colonel Terry Childers,
01:16:33 who stands trial
01:16:36 a day of sadness,
01:16:39 a day when America has
01:16:42 for its failures and its
01:16:49 We will show you that the accused,
01:16:53 ignored the rules
01:16:56 and went far beyond
01:16:58 to intentionally order
01:17:01 of 83 innocent people.
01:17:12 I was the last one to enter the
01:17:17 I was late because
01:17:20 And I was in the head
01:17:26 And I was throwing up
01:17:29 able to handle this job.
01:17:37 I believe that Colonel Childers
01:17:42 I just don't know if I have what
01:17:45 I'm simply not on the same page
01:17:48 Major Biggs here,
01:17:53 We all know that.
01:17:56 So why did I take
01:18:04 I took this case because
01:18:07 I would have done the same thing
01:18:12 I took the case because I know Terry
01:18:15 He told me he did
01:18:19 Now, I hope
01:18:26 We sent Terry Childers out
01:18:30 And when it went bad,
01:18:32 and he did everything he could
01:18:36 save the lives
01:18:40 you turn around now and want
01:18:45 send him to prison possibly
01:18:50 That's not fair.
01:18:53 It's not right.
01:18:57 It is what made me sick
01:19:01 It was a large crowd.
01:19:03 There was a lot of commotion.
01:19:07 But it was
01:19:10 That is, until Colonel Childers
01:19:12 from pursuing
01:19:15 Did Colonel Childers
01:19:17 Yes. He charged in.
01:19:19 He... started
01:19:23 He physically restrained me
01:19:26 What was his state
01:19:28 He was in a fury.
01:19:30 He was disrespectful
01:19:32 Oh, that's bullshit.
01:19:34 It was almost, how should I say,
01:19:37 Do you remember what he said?
01:19:39 I remember he said
01:19:41 diplomacy is bullshit
01:19:43 "and that ""nobody fucks
01:19:47 - Those were his words.
01:19:50 No further questions.
01:19:52 Do you believe...
01:19:54 that an American embassy
01:19:56 is sovereign
01:19:58 As a general principle, yes.
01:20:00 Do you believe Americans
01:20:02 to defend that territory
01:20:04 If it is, in fact,
01:20:06 Would you have expected
01:20:09 to the attacking crowd
01:20:11 I would have expected neither.
01:20:12 The colonel should have let me
01:20:14 then he could have withdrawn
01:20:16 Would you have expected him
01:20:18 even if he were taking casualties?
01:20:22 So your order would have been,
01:20:23 Hold your fire to the extent
01:20:25 And to the extent not possible,
01:20:30 Ambassador.
01:20:34 This photograph
01:20:40 - What is that?
01:20:43 Is it mounted
01:20:44 and pointed down to where
01:20:46 - I would suppose so.
01:20:49 Yes.
01:20:51 - Is it in operation 24 hours a day?
01:20:53 - Yes or no?
01:20:55 Do you suppose there is a taping
01:20:59 - Your Honor.
01:21:01 - Yes.
01:21:02 It is my understanding
01:21:05 undamaged tapes, they'd have been
01:21:08 Undamaged tapes?
01:21:09 Well, there was
01:21:13 after the killing.
01:21:15 As you withdrew, did you remember
01:21:25 Did you remember to take
01:21:28 - Of course.
01:21:31 I brought it home and returned
01:21:34 It was shot to shreds,
01:21:37 By the snipers, yes.
01:21:39 Yeah?
01:21:54 Right! Go right!
01:21:57 Goal!
01:22:07 At ease, son.
01:22:09 Let me see. Which one
01:22:12 - Let me take a guess. How about you?
01:22:15 Then I'll have to make
01:22:19 How'd you know?
01:22:21 Yes, sir, lam.
01:22:24 Go on in the house, kids.
01:22:27 Mrs. Mourain, I'm sorry
01:22:30 - I'm Colonel...
01:22:32 - Is that your boy?
01:22:35 Can I talk to you
01:22:38 I don't think
01:22:42 I don't believe your husband
01:22:44 about what Colonel Childers did
01:22:48 Kids, go on in the house.
01:22:51 Let's go! Come on!
01:22:59 You should take that up
01:23:02 Colonel Childers risked his life
01:23:05 watching these kids play
01:23:09 Does that bother you?
01:23:15 I feel terrible about what
01:23:18 Can you tell me that he
01:23:20 Or that he prevented
01:23:23 Ma'am?
01:23:26 No.
01:23:28 As far as I'm concerned,
01:23:31 Will you testify to that?
01:23:40 - My husband's a good man.
01:23:45 I've been married for ten years.
01:23:47 You're asking me to throw that
01:23:49 Your husband and you
01:23:53 owe your lives
01:23:58 We all have our priorities,
01:24:03 I can subpoena you, ma'am.
01:24:06 Please don't.
01:24:09 Don't put me up there.
01:24:14 Now, if you'll excuse me.
01:24:16 You won't tell the truth
01:24:19 I don't know
01:24:22 Colonel Childers is on trial for
01:24:26 I wasn't there.
01:24:34 Captain Lee, you were in command
01:24:36 and the second ranking officer
01:24:38 - Yes, sir.
01:24:40 of the embassy, were you not?
01:24:43 Colonel Childers ordered you
01:24:45 immediately after Sergeant
01:24:48 - Is that correct?
01:24:50 But Sergeant Krasevitch was not
01:24:53 Objection. How could we know
01:24:55 of the bullet that killed
01:24:56 Sustained. Counsel
01:24:59 Did you at any time...
01:25:01 receive gunfire from within
01:25:07 Captain?
01:25:10 I can't remember any fire
01:25:12 to my knowledge that is, sir.
01:25:15 You killed the wrong people,
01:25:18 You should've been firing
01:25:21 - Isn't that correct?
01:25:23 - Objection. Calls for speculation.
01:25:25 You shot at people who
01:25:27 who were not using
01:25:29 Your Honor, that's not
01:25:30 Sustained. Major, I'm not going
01:25:36 Captain, what were the words
01:25:40 when he ordered you to fire
01:25:42 I don't remember
01:25:45 He ordered me
01:25:50 When you obeyed Colonel
01:25:52 did you believe it
01:25:54 Yes, sir.
01:25:55 Otherwise it would have been your
01:25:58 Yes, sir.
01:25:59 When your men opened fire
01:26:01 did the snipers in the buildings
01:26:05 Absolutely, sir.
01:26:07 It would seem, then,
01:26:08 that the two groups were
01:26:10 Objection. Counselis drawing
01:26:13 Sustained.
01:26:15 Were you in a position
01:26:16 when everyone was evacuated?
01:26:17 Yes, I was.
01:26:18 What was the last thing
01:26:21 - He went to the flagpole.
01:26:24 He took down
01:26:26 Was he personally
01:26:28 - Yes, sir.
01:26:32 Captain, prior to receiving orders
01:26:36 where was the point of greatest
01:26:38 the crowd below or the snipers
01:26:43 - I'm not really sure.
01:26:47 Well, I guess...
01:26:49 Don't guess.
01:26:51 Was the point of greatest concern
01:26:54 or the snipers
01:26:58 I would have to say
01:27:01 Did you feel an immediate mortal
01:27:04 - I don't understand.
01:27:06 - No, sir.
01:27:12 Were you more worried...
01:27:14 you'd be killed by these people
01:27:16 I wasn't thinking about that.
01:27:19 You didn't see the crowd firing, but
01:27:23 Is that correct?
01:27:30 Yes.
01:27:32 Our clinic is not too far
01:27:36 So I was one of the first
01:27:40 Did you see any weapons
01:27:43 No.
01:27:45 Did you remove any weapons from
01:27:48 No.
01:27:49 Not a single weapon
01:27:53 No, no weapons.
01:27:55 In your opinion, is Yemen
01:28:00 Not at all.
01:28:03 We met in Yemen.
01:28:06 You encouraged me to tour
01:28:09 the suffering caused by
01:28:11 - Do you remember that?
01:28:15 I found an audiocassette
01:28:18 It's marked exhibit "R".
01:28:21 Do you remember that?
01:28:26 - Yes.
01:28:29 inside the embassy.
01:28:31 In fact, I found several others.
01:28:37 Will you translate the writing on

01:28:57 Will you translate
01:28:59 on this audiocassette
01:29:14 Dr Ahmar?
01:29:16 We call on every Muslim
01:29:20 and hopes for reward...
01:29:23 "to obey God's command".
01:29:33 Dr Ahmar, does it say

01:29:56 and their allies,
01:29:58 both civil
01:30:03 is duty of every Muslim...
01:30:08 "who is able".
01:30:10 To kill Americans is a duty.
01:30:15 - Is that what it says?
01:30:23 Do you recognize
01:30:26 No.
01:30:30 Dr Ahmar, in your opinion,
01:30:33 representative
01:30:36 No. I'm not a member
01:30:42 The crowd
01:30:46 I heard them from my clinic.
01:30:49 What was your reaction when you
01:30:51 had been selected
01:30:53 I was very pleased. The colonel
01:30:56 - He's a nationally renowned war...
01:31:00 We wanted to increase security,
01:31:02 if things got threatening,
01:31:06 So you weren't looking
01:31:08 No, that's what we wished
01:31:11 What was your reaction
01:31:13 I was stunned,
01:31:16 appalled.
01:31:18 Wasn't the severity of the problem
01:31:21 Absolutely not.
01:31:23 We operated on the information
01:31:27 I have here a State Department
01:31:31 It's exhibit "M".
01:31:33 Will you read the underlined

01:31:57 - Yeah.
01:31:59 Stun grenade thrown at newspaper
01:32:02 March 13.
01:32:05 is seriously wounded by
01:32:10 Explosives were apparently
01:32:12 Thank you.
01:32:15 I have another State Department
01:32:20 It's from the ambassador
01:32:23 Will you read this
01:32:30 Dear Bill. Please, we must revisit
01:32:34 in that the security measures we
01:32:36 "for the protection
01:32:38 You have to understand that
01:32:40 Thank you. Now, there are...
01:32:45 mounted on the roof of the embassy?
01:32:49 Are they designed
01:32:51 activities in the public spaces
01:32:53 - Yes.
01:32:56 Uh, it's my understanding
01:32:59 Maybe the cameras
01:33:04 This is a photograph.
01:33:09 It's a picture of a camera
01:33:13 Does it appear
01:33:15 No.
01:33:16 - Where are the tapes?
01:33:19 Don't you think
01:33:22 to Colonel Childers
01:33:24 to find that tape
01:33:27 Objection. We don't know
01:33:29 - This is pure speculation.
01:33:35 This is a shipping manifest.
01:33:38 It is a list of items removed from
01:33:40 and shipped
01:33:42 Will you read
01:33:45 Videotape from security
01:33:49 You too busy to look at those
01:33:51 Objection. He's badgering
01:33:54 Sustained. Counsel,
01:33:56 - Where are those tapes?
01:33:59 Oh. Yes, right. Right.
01:34:02 that a tape that could exonerate
01:34:05 I don't think it's funny at all.
01:34:07 Withholding evidence
01:34:09 - Objection.
01:34:13 Withholding evidence to frame
01:34:16 is no less evil than charging
01:34:18 Where are those tapes?
01:34:19 Colonel, I turned over all
01:34:22 to Major Biggs.
01:34:24 If those tapes showed a happy
01:34:26 we'd be looking at 'em.
01:34:28 Objection, Your Honor.
01:34:30 Colonel,
01:34:33 It was a new security system.
01:34:35 The cameras were pointed down
01:34:37 Tapes were recorded, and those tapes
01:34:39 Why are those tapes not here?
01:34:41 Objection, Your Honor.
01:34:47 No further questions.
01:34:51 There are no tapes showing
01:34:53 None that I'm aware of.
01:34:55 And the government has turned
01:34:58 Of course.
01:34:59 Colonel Hodges has gone
01:35:01 to have you read security reports
01:35:05 - Yes, he has.
01:35:08 Will you read these headlines
01:35:10 from today's Metro section?

01:37:46 I was proud of my marines.
01:37:48 They showed
01:37:50 Why didn't you fire
01:37:52 instead of at the crowd below?
01:37:55 Because I believed we were
01:37:57 - Was that crowd firing at you?
01:38:00 The demonstrators in front of
01:38:04 in addition to the snipers?
01:38:07 Why didn't anybody else
01:38:09 My men were
01:38:11 except for Krasevitch
01:38:14 And why isn't he here testifying
01:38:19 Because he was killed in action.
01:38:23 So you were the only man left in
01:38:27 Yes.
01:38:30 Where else have you been

01:38:35 Panama, Persian Gulf.
01:38:37 Can you identify that blue and

01:38:53 Your witness.
01:39:00 Colonel,
01:39:02 you gunned down
01:39:06 You wounded
01:39:10 Could this have been motivated
01:39:15 I was protecting my men.
01:39:17 Sergeant Richard Krasevitch was
01:39:20 - Is that correct?
01:39:23 And right after Sergeant
01:39:25 you ordered open fire
01:39:27 - Is that also correct?
01:39:30 There were weapons
01:39:33 Well, you wouldn't shoot
01:39:35 No, I would not.
01:39:36 Even in the heat of battle, you
01:39:42 No.
01:39:53 This is exhibit "F".
01:39:56 Will you please read
01:40:00 Rules of engagement governing
01:40:04 One. If possible,
01:40:07 then asked to surrender.
01:40:09 Colonel, did you warn
01:40:13 We arrived in helicopters.
01:40:15 Did you warn them, either with shots
01:40:19 Did you ask them
01:40:22 No.
01:40:24 I'm sorry, no, you did not

01:40:30 Continue, Colonel.
01:40:33 Deadly force
01:40:38 - Go on.
01:40:40 When possible, try to arrange
01:40:43 prior to any U.S. attack.
01:40:45 Did you do that, try
01:40:47 before you slaughtered them?
01:40:49 Objection. That is inflammatory.
01:40:52 Did you try, following Section C
01:40:55 for ground conflict in urban areas,
01:41:01 - No.
01:41:10 Yeah, yeah.
01:41:14 I just have
01:41:18 Did you have to repeat
01:41:21 - I'm sorry?
01:41:23 to engage hostile targets,
01:41:25 that there were women and children
01:41:27 - Is that correct?
01:41:29 Yes or no, Colonel? Didhe
01:41:36 I don't remember.
01:41:38 Captain Lee is on record
01:41:41 and mentioned the snipers

01:42:10 You don't remember
01:42:11 It was combat,
01:42:14 A moment later,
01:42:15 What did you say
01:42:16 I don't know.
01:42:17 You must have said something.
01:42:21 - What did you say?
01:42:24 - Let me help you.
01:42:25 You said, "Waste the motherfuckers,"
01:42:27 - No, no, no.
01:42:29 - It all happened so fast...
01:42:33 Let me refresh
01:42:36 This is exhibit "ry" a tape

01:42:47 If you got it on tape,
01:42:49 They were killing my marines,
01:42:52 Waste the motherfuckers!
01:42:55 - Are these "the motherfuckers"?
01:42:57 - Overruled.
01:42:58 - These?
01:43:01 Yes!
01:43:03 - These?
01:43:04 - Overruled.
01:43:06 Are these "the motherfuckers"...
01:43:07 that you ordered to be wasted?
01:43:09 - Major.
01:43:11 The crowd in front of the embassy
01:43:15 Objection. We found
01:43:17 Yes, they had weapons!
01:43:19 You think there's
01:43:21 without pissing somebody off?
01:43:22 Follow the rules,
01:43:24 Yes, innocent people probably died.
01:43:27 Innocent people always die.
01:43:29 But I did not exceed
01:43:32 There are rules, and marines
01:43:34 I was not going to stand by

01:43:56 All right, Colonel,
01:44:07 Why didn't you tell me
01:44:08 - I didn't remember.
01:44:11 That's brilliant.
01:44:13 Why didn't you know
01:44:15 - You're supposed to know...
01:44:18 I didn't realize
01:44:19 - Well, now you know.
01:44:35 - This is going to take us both down.
01:44:37 You gonna spend the rest
01:44:51 I'm sorry.
01:44:58 - I really screwed up in there, huh?
01:45:01 Whew!
01:45:04 - So what happens now?
01:45:07 I don't know.
01:45:13 Your Honor, the government

01:45:17 What are the grounds for
01:45:19 Will counsel please
01:45:28 - Who is Colonel Bin Le Cao?
01:45:31 who fought against Colonel Childers
01:45:33 What he has to say directly refutes
01:45:37 - When was the battle of Ca Lu?
01:45:39 This is uncharged misconduct. It is
01:45:43 How do you know this witness
01:45:45 I'm assuming...
01:45:46 He knows because he was
01:45:48 - Is that true?
01:45:50 On what grounds are you
01:45:53 Colonel Hodges made Colonel
01:45:56 part of his defense.
01:45:57 Furthermore,
01:45:59 that he never shoots unarmed people.
01:46:01 My witness has an important
01:46:08 I'm gonna allow
01:46:24 Do you swear or affirm...
01:46:25 that the evidence you shal I give

01:46:39 with the North Vietnamese army,
01:46:43 with American marines at Ca Lu
01:46:46 Yes, I was.
01:46:48 Will you tell the court
01:46:50 We were aware that
01:46:53 ryere ryeryr
01:46:56 We found ourselves
01:47:00 This was lucky for us
01:47:08 Do you recognize
01:47:11 Yes.
01:47:13 Did he capture you and your
01:47:17 Did he remove your weapons
01:47:21 Yes.
01:47:22 Did you consider yourself
01:47:24 Yes.
01:47:27 Did he execute
01:47:31 Yes.
01:47:33 You personally saw him shoot
01:47:36 Yes.
01:47:38 Where did he shoot him?
01:47:41 In the head.
01:47:43 Thank you.
01:47:49 Were your men annihilating
01:47:54 Yes.
01:47:56 Did Colonel Childers force you
01:47:59 Yes.
01:48:01 Do you believe his actions
01:48:03 the lives of American marines?
01:48:07 Would you have done the same
01:48:09 if the situation
01:48:19 Colonel Cao, would you have shot...
01:48:21 a captive American radio operator
01:48:23 it would persuade Colonel Childers
01:48:32 Yes.
01:48:37 No more questions.
01:48:40 This court is in recess
01:48:43 #NAZWA?
01:48:54 - General, good to see you.
01:48:57 I want you to meet
01:49:00 Hi. Nice to meet
01:49:02 Thanks.
01:49:08 Colonel Terry Childers
01:49:11 a trusted leader
01:49:13 and I wish that was
01:49:17 Unfortunately, there are
01:49:20 many of them
01:49:23 Colonel Hodges would have you
01:49:28 He would also have you believe
01:49:30 proving this to be true.
01:49:35 There is no tape
01:49:39 There is no evidence
01:49:50 Is Colonel Childers a man capable of
01:49:57 Is he capable of ordering
01:49:59 of innocent
01:50:03 Is he capable of executing
01:50:08 Unfortunately,
01:50:11 You have heard the sad testimony
01:50:13 who witnessed Colonel Childers'
01:50:19 You've even heard
01:50:22 that his desire was to "waste"
01:50:30 Now, we are faced
01:50:34 of convicting
01:50:36 None of us wants to do this,
01:50:39 and it is unavoidable.
01:50:42 Colonel Terry Childers ordered
01:50:46 of a peaceful crowd!
01:50:49 Now, as marines,
01:50:53 we do not get the luxury
01:50:57 We must air them,
01:51:00 there by ensuring
01:51:03 Thank you.
01:51:13 That's sovereign
01:51:15 as much as if it were
01:51:18 Colonel Childers didn't
01:51:21 He was ordered to go there because
01:51:24 We armed him.
01:51:26 We sent him over there to risk
01:51:29 And then ask him
01:51:32 There are over 300 bullet holes
01:51:36 Colonel Childers didn't open fire.
01:51:41 And he waited until after three
01:51:45 and another lay
01:51:47 He waited until he was
01:51:50 He waited until he saw
01:51:54 Only then did he order
01:51:57 Under the rules of engagement,
01:51:59 is no longer a civilian,
01:52:01 and the use of deadly force
01:52:04 in order to save lives.
01:52:08 It's not murder.
01:52:11 It's combat.
01:52:15 Colonel Childers is
01:52:17 who was in a position
01:52:19 But the camera on the embassy
01:52:22 The government
01:52:24 there's no tape
01:52:26 I have shown you that that tape was
01:52:29 Do you believe that tape
01:52:32 of the State Department
01:52:36 By not producing that tape,
01:52:39 Mr. Sokal, has brought dishonor
01:52:43 Without that tape, I cannot show
01:52:46 and that Colonel Childers
01:52:49 But without that tape,
01:52:52 beyond a reasonable doubt
01:52:57 Here's my case.
01:53:00 He's all I've got.
01:53:02 thirty-two years of heroism
01:53:05 Regardless of
01:53:08 Colonel Childers' career
01:53:10 He will never again
01:53:12 The ambassador and his family
01:53:15 And I know how
01:53:18 because Colonel Childers
01:53:20 I'm alive today because of him.
01:53:22 My son is sitting in
01:53:25 I'm alive today,
01:53:27 because of the heroism
01:53:30 To ask this man to risk his life
01:53:37 to ask this man to watch
01:53:41 and call it murder
01:53:44 call it murder for firing back
01:53:47 To call it murder for saving
01:53:50 under the most extreme
01:53:54 My fellow Marines,
01:54:00 It's worse than leaving him
01:54:03 That is something
01:54:06 if you are
01:54:11 And it is something that I pray
01:54:39 - What'd you think?
01:54:42 Yeah. Yeah.
01:54:44 Dad, you were awesome.
01:54:46 Thanks, son.
01:54:48 I'm very glad that I don't
01:54:51 You made it
01:54:56 - 15,000 to 25,000...
01:55:04 I said no interruptions.
01:55:06 I'm sorry, Mr. Sokal.
01:55:14 Send him in.
01:55:17 Can we pick this up
01:55:20 Absolutely.
01:55:39 Close the door.
01:55:46 What is it, Colonel?
01:55:48 No matter what happens
01:55:53 I'm not going to leave
01:55:54 what happened to that tape.
01:55:58 Think it'll ever turn up?
01:56:01 No.
01:56:03 I don't either.
01:56:06 Well, then there's nothing more
01:56:10 You ever had a pissed-off
01:56:13 Is that a threat?
01:56:16 Oh, yes, sir.
01:56:58 All rise.
01:57:06 Has the panel
01:57:08 We have, sir.

01:57:47 Sentencing will be conducted
01:57:50 Thank you.
01:58:09 - I need one more favor.
01:58:12 Teach me how to fly-fish.
01:58:13 You are well aware that I know
01:58:19 Oh.
01:58:29 Colonel.
01:58:34 You realize in light of
01:58:37 we'll be pushing for charges
01:58:39 That was 30 years ago.
01:58:41 You're going to have
01:58:43 I thought maybe
01:58:45 I'll make you a deal.
01:58:47 If you can tell me right now
01:58:51 for a second lieutenant dropped
01:58:56 I'll tell you everything
01:59:00 - One week.
01:59:02 Sixteen minutes, Major.
01:59:05 Sixteen fucking minutes.
01:59:08 And that's all I remember.
01:59:58 Sir.
