Hart s War
|
| 00:01:11 |
On the other side |
| 00:01:12 |
in Europe the Allied forces |
| 00:01:16 |
with relentless force. |
| 00:01:18 |
We do not expect to have |
| 00:01:22 |
We expect to |
| 00:01:24 |
to keep the enemy |
| 00:01:26 |
and hit him again |
| 00:01:27 |
1944, December. |
| 00:01:30 |
I was miles |
| 00:01:31 |
and a stranger to war. |
| 00:01:32 |
Troops, fuel dumps... |
| 00:01:34 |
enemy units... |
| 00:01:35 |
they were pins |
| 00:01:37 |
Champagne? |
| 00:01:39 |
Are you trying |
| 00:01:41 |
Just trying to aid |
| 00:01:43 |
Tom. |
| 00:01:44 |
Sir. |
| 00:01:45 |
The captain needs a lift |
| 00:01:47 |
Can you find him a driver? |
| 00:01:48 |
I can take him, sir. |
| 00:01:50 |
Funny. I had a feeling |
| 00:01:52 |
Well, there hasn't been |
| 00:01:54 |
So I see. Captain. |
| 00:01:56 |
Oh, don't forget, sir. |
| 00:01:57 |
You wanted to send some of that |
| 00:02:00 |
Yes. |
| 00:02:02 |
Yes, thank you |
| 00:02:05 |
The general should get |
| 00:02:08 |
Colonel. |
| 00:02:09 |
Troops are now fighting... |
| 00:02:10 |
along a battle line |
| 00:02:14 |
France, and Germany. |
| 00:02:16 |
Within 10 weeks |
| 00:02:18 |
in France last June, |
| 00:02:20 |
the Allies have landed |
| 00:02:32 |
You know what |
| 00:02:34 |
Snowplow services. |
| 00:02:35 |
What we could use... |
| 00:02:36 |
is half a million gallons |
| 00:02:38 |
and a road |
| 00:02:39 |
with Bouncing Betties. |
| 00:02:42 |
German S-mines. |
| 00:02:44 |
Yes, sir. |
| 00:02:46 |
You really ought |
| 00:02:47 |
on the line sometime, |
| 00:02:50 |
I know that, sir. |
| 00:02:51 |
Of course, |
| 00:02:54 |
Sir? |
| 00:02:56 |
The Colonel says |
| 00:02:58 |
So I guess you won't |
| 00:03:00 |
in a foxhole, will you? |
| 00:03:04 |
It's nothing |
| 00:03:06 |
That's a hell |
| 00:03:31 |
- Where to, sir? |
| 00:03:34 |
I'm afraid you've gone |
| 00:03:36 |
St. Vith is due west. |
| 00:03:40 |
I'm pretty sure |
| 00:03:44 |
Sergeant, |
| 00:03:46 |
Can I see that, sir? |
| 00:03:54 |
I drove this route |
| 00:03:57 |
Mm-hmm. |
| 00:04:08 |
Get your hands up. |
| 00:04:11 |
Out! |
| 00:04:33 |
Halt! |
| 00:06:16 |
Are you in great pain? |
| 00:06:19 |
First Lieutenant... |
| 00:06:20 |
Thomas Hart. |
| 00:06:22 |
Serial number... |
| 00:06:25 |
1841287. |
| 00:06:31 |
Would you care |
| 00:06:35 |
Your train is |
| 00:06:39 |
Of course, |
| 00:06:41 |
you might be all right. |
| 00:06:44 |
First Lieutenant... |
| 00:06:46 |
Thomas Hart. |
| 00:06:48 |
Serial number 1841287. |
| 00:06:53 |
Thank you, Lieutenant. |
| 00:06:55 |
But we both know... |
| 00:06:56 |
there is much more |
| 00:07:05 |
Show me locations |
| 00:07:09 |
Just point... |
| 00:07:11 |
and we can end all this. |
| 00:07:36 |
I'll have your clothes |
| 00:07:39 |
When you are dressed, |
| 00:07:41 |
Our last one, I hope. |
| 00:08:04 |
Smile, Joe. |
| 00:08:06 |
For you the war is over. |
| 00:08:49 |
Lieutenant. |
| 00:08:51 |
This will help |
| 00:08:54 |
No thanks, soldier. |
| 00:08:56 |
I'll be all right. |
| 00:08:57 |
No, you won't. |
| 00:08:58 |
Come on. Take it. |
| 00:08:59 |
Just till you warm up. |
| 00:09:01 |
Take it, sir. |
| 00:09:21 |
Hey, Captain... |
| 00:09:22 |
does somebody tell our folks |
| 00:09:25 |
Germans give a list |
| 00:09:27 |
and the military |
| 00:09:29 |
Is that voluntary, sir? |
| 00:09:32 |
How do you mean, |
| 00:09:33 |
Uh, I mean... |
| 00:09:35 |
can you ask them not to? |
| 00:09:39 |
I don't think so. |
| 00:10:07 |
Have to put |
| 00:10:10 |
Straw in your shoes... |
| 00:10:13 |
for frostbite. |
| 00:10:45 |
Another slave detail, sir. |
| 00:10:49 |
Hey, ladies... |
| 00:10:50 |
next batch of shells |
| 00:10:52 |
nothing but duds |
| 00:10:54 |
Mortars no boom boom, ja? |
| 00:11:01 |
Fire! |
| 00:11:02 |
Captain, P-51 incoming. |
| 00:11:04 |
- Incoming! |
| 00:11:05 |
Get down, everybody! |
| 00:11:06 |
Get down! |
| 00:11:17 |
Everybody stay down! |
| 00:11:19 |
Keep low! |
| 00:11:25 |
Captain, what's happening? |
| 00:11:26 |
Why are they |
| 00:11:27 |
They can't read the roof. |
| 00:11:33 |
All right, get the doors! |
| 00:11:35 |
Everybody get the doors! |
| 00:11:37 |
Come on, now! |
| 00:11:39 |
Get down! |
| 00:11:45 |
Get down! Down! |
| 00:11:50 |
Hart, help out! |
| 00:11:59 |
- Come on! |
| 00:12:18 |
Go on, now! |
| 00:12:22 |
Moving out! |
| 00:12:23 |
Get the other cars! |
| 00:12:30 |
Get the other cars! |
| 00:12:31 |
Let's go! Now! |
| 00:12:32 |
We're spelling out! |
| 00:12:34 |
Round up your men now! |
| 00:12:36 |
We're spelling out |
| 00:12:38 |
We're spelling out! |
| 00:12:40 |
Hart, get that man |
| 00:12:43 |
Let's get in line! |
| 00:12:45 |
Assemble on me! |
| 00:12:46 |
- Assemble! |
| 00:12:59 |
All right, men! |
| 00:13:00 |
Let's get back in line! |
| 00:13:02 |
Move it! |
| 00:13:28 |
It's not helping. |
| 00:13:31 |
Come on, men! |
| 00:14:00 |
Oh, Christ. |
| 00:14:02 |
Keep looking at me. |
| 00:14:04 |
Look at me. |
| 00:14:07 |
Oh, shit. Shit. |
| 00:14:08 |
All right. |
| 00:14:34 |
They're telling us to march. |
| 00:14:36 |
Probably ought to take |
| 00:14:41 |
Lieutenant! |
| 00:14:42 |
Take his boots. |
| 00:14:44 |
'Cause either you |
| 00:14:46 |
Take 'em, sir... |
| 00:14:47 |
while you still got feet |
| 00:14:50 |
His socks, too. |
| 00:14:51 |
Ain't gonna help him any. |
| 00:14:53 |
Stay together. |
| 00:14:57 |
All right. |
| 00:17:10 |
Once again... |
| 00:17:13 |
I'm forced to remind you |
| 00:17:29 |
Think of it this way. |
| 00:17:31 |
Now these Russians |
| 00:17:33 |
at a happy new year. |
| 00:17:51 |
Those are dogs |
| 00:17:54 |
Animals. |
| 00:17:59 |
My country doesn't make those |
| 00:18:15 |
They're our allies, Colonel. |
| 00:18:17 |
Oh, yes. |
| 00:18:21 |
Let me tell you |
| 00:18:28 |
The Ministry of War |
| 00:18:31 |
from our offensive |
| 00:18:34 |
Two hundred thousand Allies |
| 00:18:37 |
Your Third Army- |
| 00:18:39 |
Patton- |
| 00:18:41 |
And the Wehrmacht has captured |
| 00:18:44 |
to retake Paris- |
| 00:18:46 |
perhaps even drive |
| 00:18:49 |
Might be a bit crowded |
| 00:19:08 |
Turn around, Joes. |
| 00:19:10 |
Yes. Turn around. |
| 00:19:20 |
Ross. Hart. |
| 00:19:23 |
Ross and Hart. |
| 00:19:25 |
I'm Captain Ross. |
| 00:19:28 |
Major Clary. |
| 00:19:29 |
Lieutenant Hart. |
| 00:19:31 |
Lieutenant. |
| 00:19:32 |
Debriefing, gentleman. |
| 00:19:34 |
On the double. |
| 00:19:35 |
The German counterattack on |
| 00:19:38 |
is still going on. |
| 00:19:39 |
The entire front... |
| 00:19:40 |
stretching about |
| 00:19:42 |
is in motion. |
| 00:19:43 |
On our side, |
| 00:19:46 |
On the enemy's side, |
| 00:19:49 |
This is a major German effort. |
| 00:19:51 |
Some of the best units |
| 00:19:53 |
were involved |
| 00:19:56 |
At ease, soldier. |
| 00:19:57 |
Sit down. |
| 00:20:03 |
Thank you, sir. |
| 00:20:08 |
So tell me, Lieutenant... |
| 00:20:11 |
How come you're not dead? |
| 00:20:13 |
Sir? |
| 00:20:15 |
First you survive |
| 00:20:17 |
then Hans and Fritz |
| 00:20:19 |
You got a rabbit's foot |
| 00:20:23 |
Two horseshoes |
| 00:20:25 |
Atta boy. |
| 00:20:27 |
By the way... |
| 00:20:29 |
you might want to take it easy |
| 00:20:31 |
You haven't had anything |
| 00:20:33 |
Wouldn't want you to wind up |
| 00:20:36 |
I don't know, sir. |
| 00:20:38 |
After the march I just made... |
| 00:20:40 |
and infirmary might look |
| 00:20:46 |
A stomach can shrink |
| 00:20:49 |
That's the number, isn't it? |
| 00:20:51 |
Seventeen days? |
| 00:20:52 |
Six days on the train... |
| 00:20:54 |
another 6 days of marching. |
| 00:20:56 |
What was it, Joe? |
| 00:20:58 |
Five days of interrogation? |
| 00:21:00 |
No, sir. |
| 00:21:04 |
Three days. |
| 00:21:08 |
Well, anyway... |
| 00:21:13 |
Yes, sir. Thank you. |
| 00:21:16 |
So this interrogator |
| 00:21:18 |
his name wasn't Schumann, |
| 00:21:25 |
No, sir. |
| 00:21:27 |
Lutz. |
| 00:21:32 |
Schumann was a real prick. |
| 00:21:35 |
Almost broke me in two. |
| 00:22:01 |
Not much for small talk, |
| 00:22:03 |
You come to appreciate that. |
| 00:22:09 |
Smoke, Lieutenant? |
| 00:22:12 |
Would you care |
| 00:22:15 |
Again, Lieutenant, |
| 00:22:18 |
the fuel dumps... |
| 00:22:23 |
Thank you. |
| 00:22:27 |
This Captain Lutz... |
| 00:22:29 |
he know much about |
| 00:22:34 |
He knew everything, sir. |
| 00:22:37 |
Fuel dump locations? |
| 00:22:38 |
Troop movements? |
| 00:22:42 |
Sir, he knew what |
| 00:22:44 |
the morning of my capture. |
| 00:22:52 |
Point, |
| 00:23:01 |
Just name, rank, |
| 00:23:07 |
Good enough. |
| 00:23:10 |
You're excused, Lieutenant. |
| 00:23:13 |
Unfortunately, |
| 00:23:14 |
to quarter you here. |
| 00:23:15 |
We're full up. |
| 00:23:16 |
We're gonna have to |
| 00:23:20 |
Isn't barracks 27 |
| 00:23:23 |
Yes, it is... |
| 00:23:24 |
but as you can see... |
| 00:23:25 |
the Germans are doing a rather |
| 00:23:28 |
You'll be comfortable there. |
| 00:23:31 |
Sir. |
| 00:23:36 |
- Lieutenant. |
| 00:24:16 |
Point. |
| 00:24:23 |
Point or say |
| 00:24:24 |
for the rest |
| 00:24:37 |
Good. |
| 00:25:43 |
Don, are you in? |
| 00:25:45 |
Hold your water, Joe. |
| 00:25:47 |
Looks like a whole division |
| 00:25:51 |
Who's in charge here? |
| 00:25:57 |
Hey, how many we up to? |
| 00:25:58 |
Three lovely ladies, |
| 00:26:00 |
That's right. |
| 00:26:01 |
That's right. |
| 00:26:02 |
- Excuse me. |
| 00:26:04 |
I'm looking for |
| 00:26:06 |
From the looks of things, |
| 00:26:09 |
I'm Lieutenant Tom Hart. |
| 00:26:11 |
It's OK, folks. |
| 00:26:14 |
Staff Sergeant Vic Bedford. |
| 00:26:15 |
- Good to meet you. |
| 00:26:17 |
You just come in |
| 00:26:19 |
Yeah. |
| 00:26:20 |
Colonel sent me over |
| 00:26:22 |
Officers' barracks are full. |
| 00:26:25 |
Well, in that case, |
| 00:26:28 |
Hope you don't mind, sir. |
| 00:26:29 |
All we have is this |
| 00:26:31 |
It looks fine. |
| 00:26:33 |
I'm betting you're |
| 00:26:35 |
You bet right. |
| 00:26:37 |
Care for some hooch, |
| 00:26:38 |
Ringing in the new year. |
| 00:26:40 |
Uh, thanks. I'm fine. |
| 00:26:41 |
It's fermented raisins, |
| 00:26:43 |
A little turpentine |
| 00:26:45 |
I'm fine. |
| 00:26:46 |
We got anybody |
| 00:26:48 |
How are you doing, |
| 00:26:50 |
Private. |
| 00:26:52 |
Give him a break, fellas. |
| 00:26:54 |
Lieutenant. |
| 00:26:56 |
Guard 'em with your life. |
| 00:26:57 |
They double for cash |
| 00:26:58 |
especially with the guards. |
| 00:26:59 |
- Thanks, Sergeant. |
| 00:27:02 |
Fellas, listen up. |
| 00:27:04 |
Lieutenant Hart here... |
| 00:27:05 |
is going to be staying |
| 00:27:07 |
- Hello, sir. |
| 00:27:10 |
Say, what's it take |
| 00:27:13 |
I expect we can work |
| 00:27:15 |
Good. |
| 00:27:16 |
Sir, are you about a size 10? |
| 00:27:19 |
Why? |
| 00:27:21 |
They got a Woolworth's |
| 00:27:23 |
You never know. |
| 00:28:22 |
Just piss on him, sir. |
| 00:28:23 |
Huh? |
| 00:28:25 |
It's the only thing |
| 00:28:30 |
Happy New Year. |
| 00:28:51 |
New year. |
| 00:28:52 |
It's 1945! |
| 00:28:56 |
Happy New Year! |
| 00:29:06 |
Ten and a half |
| 00:29:09 |
The holiday season. |
| 00:29:35 |
Look at the smile |
| 00:29:37 |
Socks, too. |
| 00:29:39 |
Could have used those |
| 00:29:40 |
What's the matter, |
| 00:29:43 |
Sure, it's just that |
| 00:29:45 |
I didn't have a single purse |
| 00:29:59 |
Square 'em up, Major. |
| 00:30:00 |
Yes, sir. |
| 00:30:12 |
Look at this. |
| 00:30:13 |
They've got those poor bastards |
| 00:30:16 |
See that factory |
| 00:30:19 |
The Germans are making bombs |
| 00:30:22 |
It's supposed to be |
| 00:30:24 |
Instead, they've got the |
| 00:30:25 |
making mortar shells. |
| 00:30:31 |
What the hell is that? |
| 00:30:35 |
One of their flyers. |
| 00:30:37 |
Wait a minute, they've got |
| 00:30:39 |
Three hundred and thirty-second |
| 00:30:42 |
I read about them |
| 00:30:44 |
I'll be damned. |
| 00:30:45 |
Well, we got us |
| 00:30:48 |
Fucking Jerry's right. |
| 00:31:03 |
Five, 6, 7, 8. Lift! Lift! |
| 00:31:20 |
- Lieutenant. |
| 00:31:27 |
Looks like it'll be a good show. |
| 00:31:29 |
Yeah, it does. |
| 00:31:33 |
It's high stakes |
| 00:31:35 |
What do you mean? |
| 00:31:37 |
Half the smokes in camp |
| 00:31:39 |
where you're putting |
| 00:31:43 |
Where do you think |
| 00:31:47 |
I think I'd give them |
| 00:31:51 |
Well, we can't do that. |
| 00:31:54 |
I was thinking about |
| 00:31:59 |
Sir, wouldn't they be better off |
| 00:32:02 |
I don't carry enough weight |
| 00:32:06 |
I can't make them |
| 00:32:08 |
in the enlisted men's barracks. |
| 00:32:11 |
You're in 27. |
| 00:32:12 |
Figure you can keep |
| 00:32:14 |
Sir, I'm still new |
| 00:32:17 |
Don't carry a lot of weight |
| 00:32:19 |
You've got bars |
| 00:32:22 |
That ought to be weight enough. |
| 00:32:28 |
Be done. Come on. |
| 00:32:31 |
Tastes like chicken, right? |
| 00:32:32 |
No, you've got maggots. |
| 00:32:34 |
It's protein. Eat. |
| 00:32:36 |
- You called? |
| 00:32:37 |
What do you got? |
| 00:32:41 |
Gonna have to to make |
| 00:32:43 |
Come on in, men. |
| 00:32:44 |
We got 2 more guests. |
| 00:32:49 |
Second Lieutenants |
| 00:32:58 |
You've got to be kidding, sir. |
| 00:33:00 |
They're gonna live here? |
| 00:33:02 |
Two officers just |
| 00:33:06 |
Where's your salute? |
| 00:33:29 |
What's the big idea, sir? |
| 00:33:30 |
I mean, we're all |
| 00:33:32 |
Not anymore. |
| 00:33:34 |
- Croutch, Krasner. |
| 00:33:35 |
You've been reassigned. |
| 00:33:38 |
The Colonel wants you |
| 00:33:46 |
What were you flying? |
| 00:33:48 |
P-51 bomber escorts. |
| 00:33:51 |
Must be a shitload |
| 00:33:53 |
scattered across Europe. |
| 00:33:55 |
You see these bars, |
| 00:33:57 |
A pair of bars |
| 00:33:58 |
the same roof |
| 00:34:00 |
Bedford! |
| 00:34:01 |
That's Lieutenant, boy. |
| 00:34:04 |
Call yourself |
| 00:34:05 |
You're still just |
| 00:34:07 |
I didn't quite catch that, |
| 00:34:09 |
- What was that? |
| 00:34:10 |
- That's enough! |
| 00:35:21 |
Set, go! |
| 00:35:23 |
Over-Over here! |
| 00:35:25 |
Nice. Very nice! |
| 00:35:38 |
Uh-oh! Deadline. |
| 00:35:41 |
Lieutenant! |
| 00:35:58 |
What are you doing? |
| 00:36:07 |
Nice one, sir! |
| 00:36:09 |
Cookie, hey! |
| 00:36:10 |
More bread. |
| 00:36:11 |
Das ist verboten! |
| 00:36:13 |
Das ist verboten, Bedford! |
| 00:36:19 |
Bon appetit! |
| 00:36:44 |
Shit! |
| 00:36:53 |
Nobody moves! |
| 00:36:58 |
How bad, Sergeant? |
| 00:36:59 |
Yeah, it's just a nick. |
| 00:37:01 |
- You all right? |
| 00:37:30 |
Fuck 'em! |
| 00:37:47 |
- Go get that hand looked at. |
| 00:37:54 |
Hey, Bed. |
| 00:37:55 |
Cigarettes? |
| 00:38:16 |
You're a regular bank, Vic. |
| 00:38:20 |
How's the hand? |
| 00:38:22 |
Is that really what you |
| 00:38:25 |
No. Major Clary told me |
| 00:38:27 |
to lodge a complaint about |
| 00:38:31 |
I'm sure he'll take it up with |
| 00:38:35 |
They don't belong here. |
| 00:38:38 |
Nobody belongs here. |
| 00:38:40 |
But this is where |
| 00:38:42 |
Yeah. I bet you wish the colonel |
| 00:38:45 |
that open bunk |
| 00:38:47 |
right about now, Lieutenant. |
| 00:38:50 |
I mean, this is hardly |
| 00:38:53 |
Ain't that right? |
| 00:38:55 |
We're not going |
| 00:38:58 |
about this, Sergeant, |
| 00:38:59 |
What did you do before the war |
| 00:39:07 |
I was in law school. |
| 00:39:10 |
Harvard? |
| 00:39:11 |
Yale. |
| 00:39:12 |
- Meet many coloreds up there? |
| 00:39:14 |
Yeah, well, |
| 00:39:16 |
Two years I was |
| 00:39:18 |
in East St. Louis, |
| 00:39:21 |
So let's not pretend like |
| 00:39:24 |
You finished, Sergeant? |
| 00:39:25 |
No, I'm not finished. |
| 00:39:29 |
Never did settle on a price, |
| 00:39:31 |
for them boots and socks? |
| 00:39:34 |
I mean, might be as cold as |
| 00:39:36 |
but that don't make me |
| 00:39:40 |
What do you want? |
| 00:39:43 |
I'll take your watch. |
| 00:39:45 |
This was a gift from my father. |
| 00:39:47 |
I bet your daddy |
| 00:40:02 |
Is this going to buy me |
| 00:40:09 |
Tons. |
| 00:40:47 |
Not much of a picture, is it? |
| 00:40:50 |
Well, we do feel |
| 00:40:53 |
Guard told us |
| 00:40:55 |
the life and time |
| 00:41:00 |
You know, you men can sit |
| 00:41:06 |
We're fine, sir. |
| 00:41:08 |
Nobody's going to bother you. |
| 00:41:12 |
I said we're fine, sir. |
| 00:41:50 |
That was nice, C.W. |
| 00:41:52 |
Ah, come on, Joe. |
| 00:41:54 |
Hey, either way, |
| 00:41:56 |
Cut it out, you guys. |
| 00:41:58 |
Up, up, up. |
| 00:42:00 |
Everybody. |
| 00:42:01 |
- Out! |
| 00:42:08 |
Attention. |
| 00:42:10 |
Attention near the bunks. |
| 00:42:11 |
Now. |
| 00:42:16 |
Who is the ranking man in here? |
| 00:42:19 |
Lieutenant Thomas Hart. |
| 00:42:22 |
One of your men was out on the |
| 00:42:27 |
He was spotted |
| 00:42:29 |
removing a spike from |
| 00:42:32 |
Your men are aware of |
| 00:42:34 |
concerning the possession |
| 00:42:37 |
are they not? |
| 00:42:39 |
Major, no one has |
| 00:42:59 |
Whoa, wait a minute. |
| 00:43:00 |
Quiet. |
| 00:43:01 |
- But this is a plant. |
| 00:43:03 |
- Somebody put that- |
| 00:43:15 |
You bastard, I heard you go out. |
| 00:43:17 |
I should have seen this coming. |
| 00:43:18 |
Major, where are |
| 00:43:20 |
Examples must be made, |
| 00:43:22 |
We take the safety of |
| 00:43:28 |
Major, where are you all |
| 00:43:30 |
What did he do? |
| 00:44:28 |
I'll kill you. |
| 00:44:31 |
I'll fucking kill you, Bedford. |
| 00:44:33 |
You put that spike- |
| 00:44:34 |
Watch your mouth, nigger. |
| 00:44:36 |
You put that spike there. |
| 00:44:38 |
- Lincoln, look at me. |
| 00:44:43 |
Can I let you go, Lincoln? |
| 00:44:49 |
It's a minor offense, Colonel. |
| 00:44:51 |
This man deserved 15 days |
| 00:44:55 |
He attempted to escape. |
| 00:44:57 |
Bullshit. |
| 00:44:58 |
You dragged him out of his |
| 00:45:00 |
Your men lined him up |
| 00:45:02 |
This man wasn't trying |
| 00:45:04 |
any more than those Russians |
| 00:45:06 |
Is he a dog? |
| 00:45:08 |
A lesser race? |
| 00:45:11 |
There's a word you |
| 00:45:15 |
But of course, your country |
| 00:45:20 |
And neither do you, I'm sure. |
| 00:45:22 |
He was an officer... |
| 00:45:24 |
a lieutenant in |
| 00:45:26 |
Yeah. That's why you were |
| 00:45:29 |
to welcome him and the other one |
| 00:45:33 |
Look it up, Colonel. |
| 00:45:34 |
We have every right |
| 00:45:36 |
for concealment of |
| 00:45:38 |
This man had rights, too. |
| 00:45:41 |
The Geneva Convention... |
| 00:45:42 |
specifically forbids |
| 00:45:44 |
Take a look around you, Colonel. |
| 00:45:47 |
This is not Geneva. |
| 00:45:56 |
Where are you going? |
| 00:45:58 |
To check on my men. |
| 00:45:59 |
You're welcome to do so, |
| 00:46:02 |
In the meantime, I'll be looking |
| 00:46:05 |
to listen to what's on |
| 00:47:02 |
Now go see your men, Colonel. |
| 00:47:09 |
Good night. |
| 00:47:43 |
Not to love the Fuhrer |
| 00:47:46 |
so we heil, heil |
| 00:47:55 |
Is we not the super friend? |
| 00:47:57 |
Aryan pure supermen? |
| 00:47:59 |
Ja, we is der supermen |
| 00:48:01 |
Super-duper supermen |
| 00:48:03 |
Is this Nazi land |
| 00:48:05 |
Let's go. |
| 00:48:14 |
How's Scott holding up? |
| 00:48:16 |
It's hard to tell. |
| 00:48:17 |
He isn't saying much. |
| 00:48:21 |
He was asking about the body. |
| 00:48:23 |
And there's some personal |
| 00:48:52 |
Come on, boys. |
| 00:49:13 |
Take that, you bastard. |
| 00:49:15 |
Careful, Bedford. |
| 00:49:16 |
That's a nigger |
| 00:49:18 |
Tail's painted red... |
| 00:49:20 |
means he's 99th, |
| 00:49:47 |
Come on, let's get him out! |
| 00:49:49 |
Get them out of there. |
| 00:49:56 |
Get him to the doc, now. |
| 00:50:02 |
Put this out. Come on! |
| 00:50:08 |
More buckets, more buckets. |
| 00:50:11 |
Come on! |
| 00:51:41 |
- Move around this corner. |
| 00:51:43 |
Do you know where |
| 00:51:46 |
Where's that? |
| 00:51:47 |
The goddamn Waldorf. |
| 00:51:50 |
It's not personal. |
| 00:51:52 |
He just can't stand |
| 00:51:55 |
- I never lied to him. |
| 00:51:58 |
You hung yourself the minute |
| 00:52:01 |
That guy Lutz |
| 00:52:04 |
he was a level 1 interrogator. |
| 00:52:06 |
McNamara had him, too. |
| 00:52:09 |
When a guy won't talk, they just |
| 00:52:13 |
Level 2, level 3. |
| 00:52:15 |
It takes weeks. |
| 00:52:18 |
He was in there for a month. |
| 00:52:20 |
The only guy you saw was Lutz... |
| 00:52:22 |
and he spit you out of there |
| 00:52:29 |
All I gave them was name, |
| 00:52:30 |
See, the thing about the colonel |
| 00:52:33 |
He's West Point, |
| 00:52:35 |
He was raised on all this. |
| 00:52:37 |
The crap like this... |
| 00:52:39 |
catching a junior officer |
| 00:52:43 |
all it does is remind him |
| 00:52:45 |
from the real war... |
| 00:52:47 |
the one he's supposed |
| 00:52:51 |
You see? |
| 00:53:35 |
Lieutenant Lincoln. |
| 00:53:48 |
I should have sold some |
| 00:54:31 |
Two of your men dead |
| 00:54:34 |
It seems you've lost control |
| 00:54:39 |
Will Lieutenant Scott be granted |
| 00:54:41 |
and face this charge? |
| 00:54:42 |
Major Fussel saw him |
| 00:54:45 |
I would say he's had his trial. |
| 00:54:47 |
Any prisoner accused of a crime |
| 00:54:49 |
has a right to a trial. |
| 00:54:51 |
And if the boy |
| 00:54:53 |
there wouldn't be |
| 00:54:54 |
Is this not so? |
| 00:54:56 |
Yeah, maybe you're |
| 00:54:59 |
Maybe we should |
| 00:55:01 |
Let's just drag him |
| 00:55:03 |
and shoot 2 holes |
| 00:55:04 |
like you did with |
| 00:55:10 |
A trial. |
| 00:55:12 |
A court-martial. |
| 00:55:14 |
Like in your American movies? |
| 00:55:18 |
Yes? |
| 00:55:20 |
Yeah, something like that. |
| 00:55:23 |
That should be fun. |
| 00:55:25 |
Yeah. |
| 00:55:28 |
All right, Colonel. |
| 00:55:31 |
You may conduct it... |
| 00:55:32 |
in your theater here. |
| 00:55:49 |
Colonel, my men are in |
| 00:55:52 |
With your permission... |
| 00:55:53 |
we'd like to erect |
| 00:55:55 |
to house the proceedings. |
| 00:55:56 |
No. |
| 00:55:57 |
Your theater |
| 00:55:59 |
You have until |
| 00:56:00 |
to conduct your trial. |
| 00:56:02 |
It's a capital charge, |
| 00:56:03 |
The trial will take |
| 00:56:05 |
One thousand more American |
| 00:56:07 |
will be arriving |
| 00:56:09 |
I am putting them |
| 00:56:11 |
Colonel, I just |
| 00:56:13 |
Colonel... |
| 00:56:15 |
Saturday, your theater is mine. |
| 00:56:30 |
Wait. Colonel! |
| 00:56:33 |
This is a murder site. |
| 00:56:43 |
I beg your pardon, |
| 00:56:45 |
I said |
| 00:56:48 |
The body and |
| 00:56:49 |
are now evidence. |
| 00:56:51 |
This area cannot |
| 00:56:52 |
until everything |
| 00:56:58 |
Of course. |
| 00:57:12 |
I'm appointing you counsel |
| 00:57:18 |
Sir, I'm not a lawyer. |
| 00:57:19 |
You sounded like one |
| 00:57:23 |
I could be |
| 00:57:25 |
I mean, I heard |
| 00:57:27 |
The lieutenant |
| 00:57:28 |
I've appointed you counsel. |
| 00:57:31 |
Understood? |
| 00:57:34 |
Yes, sir. |
| 00:57:35 |
Dismissed, Lieutenant. |
| 00:57:38 |
Sir. |
| 00:58:22 |
And this guy |
| 00:58:25 |
this Captain Sisk... |
| 00:58:27 |
is he a real lawyer? |
| 00:58:30 |
Yes. |
| 00:58:31 |
That sounds about right. |
| 00:58:35 |
I think we have to paint |
| 00:58:37 |
That's all. |
| 00:58:39 |
It was a fight |
| 00:58:42 |
You're supposed to ask me |
| 00:58:46 |
Look, I came here |
| 00:58:50 |
If it was some crackers |
| 00:58:52 |
I could have stayed in Macon. |
| 00:58:54 |
Major Fussel ID'd you |
| 00:58:56 |
Fussel is a Nazi! |
| 00:58:57 |
No. Fussel is a witness... |
| 00:59:02 |
and he's enough to hang you. |
| 00:59:05 |
Look, all I'm saying |
| 00:59:07 |
that got a little |
| 00:59:08 |
then it's not murder. |
| 00:59:10 |
It's manslaughter. |
| 00:59:11 |
Do you understand that? |
| 00:59:20 |
Man, oh, man. |
| 00:59:24 |
Can I fire you? |
| 00:59:26 |
Oh, look, Scott, |
| 00:59:28 |
If it's a colored guy |
| 00:59:30 |
and it's a white man |
| 00:59:33 |
there's no such thing |
| 00:59:36 |
Don't you know that? |
| 00:59:38 |
Or is that something |
| 00:59:39 |
in the third year |
| 00:59:43 |
What do you expect |
| 00:59:46 |
A "Hey, yes, sir, boss. " |
| 00:59:47 |
Or "Why, thank you, boss. |
| 00:59:51 |
Is that the way |
| 00:59:53 |
where you're from? |
| 00:59:54 |
Nobody's railroading you, Scott. |
| 00:59:56 |
Then how come |
| 00:59:57 |
is the guy |
| 00:59:59 |
and I'm stuck with you |
| 01:00:04 |
That's how the Colonel |
| 01:00:07 |
Yeah, but I ain't |
| 01:00:23 |
I'll meet you |
| 01:00:25 |
Yes, sir. |
| 01:00:38 |
Well, Lieutenant? |
| 01:00:39 |
I'm gonna need |
| 01:00:41 |
Who has Bedford's |
| 01:00:43 |
We do. |
| 01:00:45 |
I'll need to see them... |
| 01:00:46 |
and the photographs |
| 01:00:49 |
and of course, his body. |
| 01:00:53 |
What did Scott tell you? |
| 01:00:56 |
Sir? |
| 01:00:57 |
You were with him all day. |
| 01:00:58 |
What did he tell you? |
| 01:01:00 |
I'm sorry, sir. |
| 01:01:02 |
Sure you can. |
| 01:01:05 |
Attorney-client privilege, sir. |
| 01:01:09 |
Only an attorney |
| 01:01:11 |
I need to be briefed |
| 01:01:13 |
that Scott intends |
| 01:01:15 |
Sir, you're going to be |
| 01:01:17 |
How can I possibly |
| 01:01:20 |
Are you suggesting... |
| 01:01:21 |
that I would betray |
| 01:01:23 |
That I would share |
| 01:01:24 |
with the prosecution? |
| 01:01:29 |
No, sir. |
| 01:01:30 |
Scott followed Bedford out |
| 01:01:33 |
If he testifies to that fact... |
| 01:01:35 |
every German in this camp |
| 01:01:37 |
and out of the barracks |
| 01:01:39 |
and every man in this camp |
| 01:01:40 |
because of that. |
| 01:01:42 |
Are you following this, |
| 01:01:43 |
- Yes, sir. |
| 01:01:47 |
Now, Scott will testify |
| 01:01:49 |
through a hole |
| 01:01:51 |
in the barracks. |
| 01:01:53 |
And you will make certain |
| 01:01:56 |
Do we understand each other, |
| 01:01:57 |
We do, sir. |
| 01:02:00 |
Dismissed. |
| 01:02:02 |
Permission to speak, sir. |
| 01:02:04 |
Speak freely. |
| 01:02:05 |
Scott thinks this is all |
| 01:02:09 |
He thinks you passed sentence... |
| 01:02:11 |
as soon as the body |
| 01:02:16 |
Is he right? |
| 01:02:18 |
Bedford's footlocker |
| 01:02:21 |
I'll make sure you get it. |
| 01:03:00 |
Not much to look at, is he? |
| 01:03:10 |
Did you know him? |
| 01:03:12 |
No. |
| 01:03:14 |
Not personally. |
| 01:03:16 |
But my guards certainly |
| 01:03:19 |
These are for you. |
| 01:03:25 |
Thank you. |
| 01:03:29 |
How well? |
| 01:03:32 |
Your guards, |
| 01:03:34 |
How well? |
| 01:03:37 |
Well, you'll have to ask them |
| 01:03:46 |
This is yours, too. |
| 01:03:52 |
We found it on his wrist. |
| 01:03:55 |
But with the inscription... |
| 01:03:56 |
and those new boots |
| 01:03:58 |
I made the assumption. |
| 01:04:01 |
It's a little hard |
| 01:04:04 |
your guards |
| 01:04:07 |
I can arrange it. |
| 01:04:10 |
I can arrange |
| 01:04:14 |
It seems only fair... |
| 01:04:15 |
what with your colonel |
| 01:04:20 |
I'm not sure I follow you. |
| 01:04:22 |
Really? |
| 01:04:25 |
Yale isn't in the habit |
| 01:04:29 |
At least it wasn't |
| 01:04:35 |
The oldest member |
| 01:04:39 |
My fellow students voted me |
| 01:04:46 |
But we can swap stories |
| 01:04:49 |
Right now we've got a trial |
| 01:04:56 |
It's a sincere offer, |
| 01:05:00 |
Anything I can do to help... |
| 01:05:04 |
Truly. |
| 01:05:08 |
And exactly where were you, |
| 01:05:10 |
on the night in question? |
| 01:05:13 |
I was walking the area |
| 01:05:15 |
and the Australian compound. |
| 01:05:17 |
At about what time? |
| 01:05:19 |
Maybe about 1:00 |
| 01:05:21 |
And can you tell the court |
| 01:05:24 |
The schwarze Lieutenant Scott |
| 01:05:28 |
It looked to me like he was |
| 01:05:32 |
I blew my whistle, |
| 01:05:34 |
And what did you do next? |
| 01:05:35 |
I would have shot, |
| 01:05:39 |
And so was he. |
| 01:05:42 |
Major Fussel, how well |
| 01:05:45 |
A little, I think. |
| 01:05:46 |
You traded with him regularly. |
| 01:05:48 |
Traded? |
| 01:05:49 |
Bartered. |
| 01:05:50 |
Cigarettes for a pair of boots. |
| 01:05:52 |
Chocolate for some spare parts. |
| 01:05:54 |
No. I never did this. |
| 01:05:57 |
A kriegie trading |
| 01:05:59 |
I never saw it. |
| 01:06:01 |
Am I allowed to repeat what |
| 01:06:03 |
You may, Private. |
| 01:06:05 |
Lieutenant Scott said, |
| 01:06:08 |
"I'll fucking kill you, |
| 01:06:10 |
Corporal, have you ever |
| 01:06:12 |
threaten a fellow soldier |
| 01:06:14 |
"Better shape up |
| 01:06:16 |
"I'll kill you if you touch |
| 01:06:18 |
- That sort of thing? |
| 01:06:20 |
I'll bet you've even made such |
| 01:06:22 |
I suppose so. |
| 01:06:23 |
Corporal, did you ever |
| 01:06:25 |
you threatened in this manner? |
| 01:06:28 |
No, sir. |
| 01:06:30 |
But I'm not colored. |
| 01:06:32 |
I can control myself. |
| 01:06:34 |
So, you, too, |
| 01:06:36 |
made by the accused |
| 01:06:38 |
Your Honor, this being the |
| 01:06:40 |
called to testify |
| 01:06:42 |
if the defense will stipulate |
| 01:06:43 |
did indeed threaten the life |
| 01:06:46 |
could we dispense |
| 01:06:47 |
- to his having done so? |
| 01:06:49 |
Sergeant Webb is being called |
| 01:06:51 |
to the crime itself. |
| 01:06:52 |
He's what? |
| 01:06:54 |
Is that right, Sergeant? |
| 01:06:56 |
Yes, sir. |
| 01:06:57 |
- Sir, that's a lie. |
| 01:06:58 |
the sergeant will testify that |
| 01:07:00 |
he watched through a window |
| 01:07:03 |
as Lieutenant Scott |
| 01:07:06 |
outside the theater |
| 01:07:08 |
Your Honor, |
| 01:07:09 |
I was standing |
| 01:07:11 |
at the exact time |
| 01:07:12 |
- He saw nothing of the sort. |
| 01:07:15 |
You don't know what I saw. |
| 01:07:16 |
Sir, I request that this court |
| 01:07:19 |
as to the consequences of |
| 01:07:21 |
He put his hand on the Bible... |
| 01:07:22 |
and swore to tell the truth, |
| 01:07:24 |
- That's good enough for me. |
| 01:07:25 |
We've had no prior notice |
| 01:07:26 |
- Sit down, Lieutenant. |
| 01:07:28 |
Lieutenant! |
| 01:07:32 |
Sit down, please. |
| 01:07:45 |
I'll catch up. |
| 01:07:48 |
I gotta go make some trades |
| 01:07:50 |
See if you |
| 01:07:52 |
Webb... |
| 01:07:54 |
You're a lying sack of shit, |
| 01:07:56 |
Yeah, and maybe you ought |
| 01:07:58 |
This doesn't concern you, West. |
| 01:07:59 |
- Hey, Lieutenant. |
| 01:08:00 |
What do you know, Joe? |
| 01:08:02 |
Return to your barracks, |
| 01:08:04 |
Take your 2 friends with you. |
| 01:08:11 |
So, what is it, Webb? |
| 01:08:12 |
Up there today. |
| 01:08:15 |
You think you owe it to Vic? |
| 01:08:18 |
Why are you so bent about |
| 01:08:21 |
He's a soldier. |
| 01:08:22 |
Vic Bedford was a soldier. |
| 01:08:24 |
He fought. |
| 01:08:27 |
You wouldn't know too much about |
| 01:08:30 |
You lied in there today. |
| 01:08:33 |
You didn't see what happened |
| 01:08:34 |
I didn't have to. |
| 01:08:38 |
Not good enough. |
| 01:08:41 |
It's good enough for McNamara. |
| 01:09:05 |
Sorry about what happened |
| 01:09:09 |
I didn't see it coming. |
| 01:09:12 |
You're saying that's |
| 01:09:14 |
you seen a man lie |
| 01:09:16 |
holding his hand on a bible? |
| 01:09:20 |
I was writing a letter |
| 01:09:22 |
Figured I should tell him first. |
| 01:09:29 |
He was part of |
| 01:09:31 |
in the last war, |
| 01:09:35 |
They was the first negro troops |
| 01:09:43 |
Did your father serve? |
| 01:09:46 |
My father |
| 01:09:49 |
He had an 8 |
| 01:09:50 |
His father made sure of it. |
| 01:09:53 |
That's how we do things |
| 01:09:58 |
That's a shame. |
| 01:10:00 |
Got your testimony to prepare. |
| 01:10:06 |
Yeah. |
| 01:10:38 |
Lieutenant. |
| 01:10:39 |
How are you? |
| 01:10:42 |
Not too well, I imagine. |
| 01:10:45 |
Come on up. |
| 01:10:49 |
That was quite a beating |
| 01:10:54 |
It's warm inside. |
| 01:11:05 |
You've read Mark Twain? |
| 01:11:07 |
It's wonderful. |
| 01:11:09 |
Colonel, I have witnesses |
| 01:11:11 |
Yes. I know. |
| 01:11:14 |
It's why I wanted to see you. |
| 01:11:31 |
We keep a library of all |
| 01:11:35 |
I thought this one might be |
| 01:11:43 |
I can't accept this, Colonel. |
| 01:11:45 |
We have a policy |
| 01:11:46 |
Lieutenant, |
| 01:11:48 |
will face the firing squad. |
| 01:11:51 |
Would that be better? |
| 01:12:00 |
Your son? |
| 01:12:03 |
Yes. |
| 01:12:05 |
Where's he fighting? |
| 01:12:12 |
He is not anymore. |
| 01:12:16 |
The Russian front. |
| 01:12:21 |
Horrible place. |
| 01:12:26 |
I'm sorry. |
| 01:12:30 |
I killed my share of English |
| 01:12:35 |
in the first war. |
| 01:12:38 |
They had fathers, too. |
| 01:12:50 |
It's verboten, you know. |
| 01:12:55 |
Negro jazz. |
| 01:12:58 |
These might be the only copies |
| 01:13:01 |
in the entire Reich. |
| 01:13:04 |
But I'm quite fond of them. |
| 01:13:12 |
Nice to read by, anyway. |
| 01:13:15 |
Takes a man right back. |
| 01:13:21 |
Take a seat. |
| 01:13:27 |
Thank you for your time, |
| 01:13:30 |
Lieutenant... |
| 01:13:35 |
Enjoy the manual. |
| 01:13:58 |
Come to order, gentlemen. |
| 01:14:00 |
Captain Sisk, |
| 01:14:01 |
prepared to call |
| 01:14:03 |
We are, Your Honor. |
| 01:14:04 |
Begging the court's pardon, sir. |
| 01:14:06 |
Yes, Lieutenant? |
| 01:14:08 |
Before we continue, |
| 01:14:09 |
it's been brought to |
| 01:14:10 |
may have overlooked a few |
| 01:14:14 |
I'm referring to the "U.S. Army |
| 01:14:18 |
chapter 12, sections 57, 58. |
| 01:14:21 |
Make your point. |
| 01:14:22 |
According to these sections, |
| 01:14:24 |
the court was obliged yesterday |
| 01:14:26 |
if he wished to challenge |
| 01:14:29 |
for peremptory disqualification |
| 01:14:33 |
A little late in the game |
| 01:14:35 |
Nevertheless, it is a right... |
| 01:14:38 |
specifically granted |
| 01:14:44 |
Very well. |
| 01:14:48 |
Does the accused |
| 01:14:49 |
any member of the court now? |
| 01:14:51 |
We do, Your Honor. |
| 01:14:54 |
You, sir. |
| 01:14:57 |
Request denied. |
| 01:15:00 |
Sir, according to chapter 12, |
| 01:15:02 |
defense is allowed |
| 01:15:05 |
of the board, |
| 01:15:06 |
is not subject to any ruling |
| 01:15:08 |
Request denied, Lieutenant. |
| 01:15:09 |
Then the court must address |
| 01:15:12 |
which states the defense |
| 01:15:14 |
a member of the board |
| 01:15:15 |
if that member |
| 01:15:17 |
toward the accused or his case. |
| 01:15:19 |
This court has shown no bias |
| 01:15:20 |
Your Honor, |
| 01:15:22 |
in ex parte conversations |
| 01:15:24 |
of this hearing a distinct |
| 01:15:28 |
his case, and his counsel, sir. |
| 01:15:47 |
Very well. |
| 01:15:48 |
We'll take a short recess |
| 01:15:51 |
- Lieutenant Hart. |
| 01:15:53 |
Can I see you outside |
| 01:16:09 |
Sir? |
| 01:16:10 |
Listen to me, |
| 01:16:13 |
I will not be laughed at. |
| 01:16:17 |
Sir, I'm just trying |
| 01:16:19 |
Your client's about to lose |
| 01:16:22 |
Sir? |
| 01:16:23 |
Article 32: contempt of court. |
| 01:16:27 |
Article 70: intentional delay. |
| 01:16:31 |
I know the book, too. |
| 01:16:33 |
Forwards and backwards. |
| 01:16:34 |
Then you must know, sir, that- |
| 01:16:35 |
Shut up and listen to me, |
| 01:16:39 |
You will not accept anything |
| 01:16:42 |
Is that clear? |
| 01:16:44 |
You will not allow him |
| 01:16:46 |
in these proceedings, |
| 01:16:49 |
You will never set foot |
| 01:16:51 |
without my permission. |
| 01:16:54 |
We understand each other? |
| 01:17:12 |
...and propaganda reported |
| 01:17:15 |
and by the Germans |
| 01:17:19 |
One minute you can hear |
| 01:17:22 |
that he will be in Strasbourg |
| 01:17:25 |
the anniversary of the Nazis |
| 01:17:29 |
The next, the Nazis are claiming |
| 01:17:32 |
are advancing on Strasbourg... |
| 01:17:34 |
and that the Americans are |
| 01:17:38 |
The closer they get, |
| 01:17:41 |
The Nazi menace are offering |
| 01:17:46 |
But today... |
| 01:17:47 |
Come in. Have a seat. |
| 01:17:51 |
We've checked German... |
| 01:17:58 |
Have a drink. |
| 01:18:00 |
Sure. |
| 01:18:04 |
Maybe you can help me |
| 01:18:06 |
coming through |
| 01:18:09 |
I don't think you need |
| 01:18:13 |
Seems pretty clear |
| 01:18:19 |
It would seem so. |
| 01:18:24 |
Or perhaps |
| 01:18:29 |
How about that? |
| 01:18:49 |
Strange thing about war wounds. |
| 01:18:54 |
The older you grow, the less |
| 01:19:26 |
Got another one of these |
| 01:19:28 |
Of course. |
| 01:19:30 |
Good. Why don't you and I take |
| 01:19:33 |
and have ourselves |
| 01:19:37 |
That would be fitting, |
| 01:19:41 |
But surely you can think |
| 01:19:43 |
out of this camp |
| 01:19:53 |
You think the war will wait |
| 01:20:00 |
It won't, you know. |
| 01:20:12 |
You're drunk. |
| 01:20:15 |
Yeah. |
| 01:20:18 |
But I'm seeing things |
| 01:20:25 |
You know, sometimes I think |
| 01:20:29 |
might have been better off |
| 01:20:32 |
Lynchings are over in minutes. |
| 01:20:37 |
The kind of justice he's |
| 01:20:42 |
Is that why you gave |
| 01:20:46 |
I was merely |
| 01:20:49 |
He's got enough |
| 01:20:50 |
without providing you |
| 01:20:54 |
Yes. |
| 01:20:57 |
He's got you to worry about, |
| 01:21:01 |
Stay out of our business. |
| 01:21:05 |
Forgive me, Colonel, |
| 01:21:09 |
in a position |
| 01:21:13 |
Especially to me. |
| 01:21:20 |
For now. |
| 01:21:33 |
Unless, of course, |
| 01:21:35 |
the sound of propaganda |
| 01:21:48 |
Well, the idea was |
| 01:21:51 |
and catch him |
| 01:21:52 |
I wanted to drag him back |
| 01:21:54 |
and put his face in the mud. |
| 01:21:57 |
Well, by the time |
| 01:21:58 |
he was already dead |
| 01:22:01 |
neck had been snapped. |
| 01:22:02 |
That's when everything blew up. |
| 01:22:03 |
Dogs, you know, hands up, |
| 01:22:08 |
Lieutenant, |
| 01:22:09 |
to your face or hands |
| 01:22:12 |
Shoe polish? Soot? |
| 01:22:14 |
No. |
| 01:22:15 |
Defense exhibit 1, Your Honor. |
| 01:22:18 |
Photos of the deceased taken |
| 01:22:21 |
The court will note |
| 01:22:23 |
on Bedford's right cheek |
| 01:22:27 |
Your Honor, what is |
| 01:22:30 |
To demonstrate to the court... |
| 01:22:31 |
that whoever killed |
| 01:22:35 |
I'd like to ask |
| 01:22:36 |
to conduct a demonstration, |
| 01:22:38 |
I'd also ask the trial judge |
| 01:22:42 |
Proceed. |
| 01:22:45 |
Based on Bedford's wounds |
| 01:22:47 |
nobody reported hearing him |
| 01:22:50 |
we have to assume |
| 01:22:51 |
friendly with his assailant... |
| 01:22:53 |
or that whoever killed him |
| 01:22:55 |
the positioning being |
| 01:22:57 |
Captain, if you wouldn't mind |
| 01:22:59 |
at my face |
| 01:23:01 |
Now, of course, the killer |
| 01:23:03 |
of leverage and surprise, |
| 01:23:07 |
and Bedford fell, |
| 01:23:12 |
It was also on his fingers. |
| 01:23:17 |
At this time, |
| 01:23:18 |
to note the following |
| 01:23:20 |
whoever killed Vic Bedford... |
| 01:23:22 |
had such a substance on his face |
| 01:23:25 |
which raises 2 questions. |
| 01:23:27 |
First, what call |
| 01:23:30 |
for darkening his face? |
| 01:23:31 |
To look more black? |
| 01:23:33 |
Second, if he had done so, |
| 01:23:36 |
Your Honor, you stood |
| 01:23:37 |
immediately |
| 01:23:39 |
His face was clean. |
| 01:23:41 |
I think it's fair to conclude... |
| 01:23:42 |
that whoever killed Vic Bedford |
| 01:23:45 |
but was waiting |
| 01:23:47 |
face blackened to avoid |
| 01:23:50 |
Nothing further, Your Honor. |
| 01:23:53 |
Lieutenant, you say that |
| 01:23:56 |
through a loose board |
| 01:24:01 |
Is that right? |
| 01:24:07 |
Yes, sir. |
| 01:24:08 |
And you took that same route |
| 01:24:10 |
after he'd gone out. |
| 01:24:14 |
Yes, I did, sir. |
| 01:24:16 |
What did you find down there, |
| 01:24:18 |
Excuse me, sir? |
| 01:24:19 |
What was down there |
| 01:24:24 |
Mud, right? |
| 01:24:27 |
You stated that it had been |
| 01:24:29 |
to put the victim's face |
| 01:24:31 |
until he begged you to stop... |
| 01:24:33 |
so there was mud down there, |
| 01:24:36 |
I suppose so. |
| 01:24:37 |
And a fair amount of soot |
| 01:24:41 |
So it's possible |
| 01:24:44 |
having descended through |
| 01:24:46 |
and then having crawled |
| 01:24:48 |
beneath the barracks |
| 01:24:50 |
might have emerged with mud |
| 01:24:57 |
Nothing further, Your Honor. |
| 01:25:01 |
Thank you, Captain Sisk. |
| 01:25:03 |
Will you step down, Lieutenant? |
| 01:25:10 |
Lieutenant Scott? |
| 01:25:15 |
You know how hard they tried... |
| 01:25:17 |
to wash us out of flight |
| 01:25:22 |
Your testimony's been entered, |
| 01:25:24 |
You can step down. |
| 01:25:25 |
It was test after test. |
| 01:25:28 |
I mean, anything they |
| 01:25:32 |
into the cooks or the drivers |
| 01:25:35 |
Your Honor, |
| 01:25:37 |
- The witness has already- |
| 01:25:41 |
So did Archer. |
| 01:25:44 |
We hit the books. |
| 01:25:45 |
We were just determined... |
| 01:25:47 |
that we were not going to spend |
| 01:25:51 |
That's enough, Lieutenant. |
| 01:25:53 |
With all due respect, sir... |
| 01:25:54 |
I would like to exercise |
| 01:25:58 |
Now, I've been sitting down |
| 01:26:02 |
And you know, I should have |
| 01:26:04 |
the moment that you threw us in |
| 01:26:07 |
instead of quartering us |
| 01:26:17 |
But it's OK. |
| 01:26:19 |
You see, colored men |
| 01:26:21 |
through a few hoops |
| 01:26:24 |
Archer knew that. |
| 01:26:31 |
There's a camp right outside |
| 01:26:38 |
there the army sends |
| 01:26:43 |
puts them to work |
| 01:26:48 |
But what's strange is |
| 01:26:50 |
we'd see them |
| 01:26:52 |
going to movies, |
| 01:26:56 |
but if I wanted to go |
| 01:26:58 |
I had to sit way off |
| 01:27:01 |
And those diners were closed |
| 01:27:05 |
But German POWs were allowed |
| 01:27:09 |
And this must have happened... |
| 01:27:10 |
to at least half the guys |
| 01:27:12 |
But the thing is... |
| 01:27:13 |
we just kept telling ourselves |
| 01:27:17 |
as long as we did our jobs, |
| 01:27:20 |
because hey, the war would end, |
| 01:27:24 |
and be free to walk down |
| 01:27:27 |
with our heads held high as men. |
| 01:27:33 |
So that's what we did. |
| 01:27:35 |
We did our jobs. |
| 01:27:41 |
We served our country, sir, |
| 01:27:47 |
And what you |
| 01:27:50 |
what you allowed to happen |
| 01:27:54 |
was appalling. |
| 01:28:01 |
And so is this. |
| 01:28:26 |
At ease, Lieutenant. |
| 01:28:35 |
How are they treating you? |
| 01:28:38 |
No worse than the men |
| 01:28:45 |
I can probably find you |
| 01:28:47 |
No. I'm fine. |
| 01:29:05 |
Good night. |
| 01:30:34 |
New order, gentlemen. |
| 01:30:35 |
Before you proceed, Your Honor, |
| 01:30:38 |
Still like to call |
| 01:30:43 |
Defense calls |
| 01:30:50 |
This some kind of joke, |
| 01:30:51 |
He's material to our case, sir. |
| 01:30:54 |
Unless, of course, |
| 01:30:59 |
He does not. |
| 01:31:08 |
Colonel, could you tell us... |
| 01:31:09 |
the nature of your relationship |
| 01:31:11 |
I'll be happy to. |
| 01:31:14 |
And what about your guards, |
| 01:31:17 |
Major Fussel, for instance? |
| 01:31:19 |
Were you aware of his dealings |
| 01:31:21 |
at night after lockdown? |
| 01:31:25 |
That would be impossible |
| 01:31:27 |
Policy forbids. |
| 01:31:31 |
Do you remember |
| 01:31:32 |
in the camp morgue 4 days ago? |
| 01:31:35 |
Vaguely. |
| 01:31:36 |
I asked you |
| 01:31:39 |
and you said, "No, but my guards |
| 01:31:43 |
Perhaps. |
| 01:31:44 |
So, in your words... |
| 01:31:45 |
no guard ever traded with |
| 01:31:48 |
and yet he was able to acquire |
| 01:31:51 |
thick socks, fresh milk, |
| 01:31:55 |
Isn't that a fact? |
| 01:31:57 |
Lieutenant, I'm sitting here as |
| 01:32:02 |
If it is your intention |
| 01:32:05 |
No, Colonel. |
| 01:32:07 |
It is my intention |
| 01:32:08 |
that Vic Bedford built up |
| 01:32:11 |
with your majors Wirtz |
| 01:32:13 |
to engage in the framing of |
| 01:32:16 |
conspiring with them |
| 01:32:18 |
which resulted in |
| 01:32:20 |
Lieutenant Archer was shot |
| 01:32:24 |
No, Colonel. |
| 01:32:25 |
Lieutenant Archer was executed |
| 01:32:31 |
Archer dies. |
| 01:32:33 |
Five minutes later... |
| 01:32:34 |
Colonel Visser and Major Wirtz |
| 01:32:37 |
and destroy a hidden radio... |
| 01:32:39 |
that they had been trying |
| 01:32:50 |
Can you tell the court anything |
| 01:32:53 |
Identification papers, |
| 01:32:56 |
What of them? |
| 01:32:57 |
Perfect German-made I.D. papers |
| 01:33:02 |
Two thousand of them. |
| 01:33:06 |
More than enough cash to make it |
| 01:33:09 |
Vic Bedford kept those |
| 01:33:12 |
Again, can you tell the court... |
| 01:33:13 |
the nature of your relationship |
| 01:33:15 |
I did not have one, Lieutenant. |
| 01:33:17 |
Do you have any idea... |
| 01:33:18 |
how he may have gotten |
| 01:33:21 |
If they didn't come from you... |
| 01:33:22 |
and if he never had any dealings |
| 01:33:24 |
the fact is, Colonel... |
| 01:33:26 |
Vic Bedford traded with you |
| 01:33:29 |
Objection, Your Honor! |
| 01:33:30 |
As soon as he came up dry |
| 01:33:32 |
Isn't that right, Colonel? |
| 01:33:33 |
Lieutenant Hart... |
| 01:33:36 |
I thought you tried |
| 01:33:39 |
to establish that the killer had |
| 01:33:43 |
Now, if any of my guards... |
| 01:33:46 |
or even I wanted to kill |
| 01:33:49 |
Vic Bedford in this case- |
| 01:33:52 |
we would hardly need to blacken |
| 01:33:57 |
Would we? |
| 01:36:41 |
Move. In the corner, Webb. |
| 01:37:29 |
Captain. |
| 01:37:43 |
You see? |
| 01:37:46 |
German uniforms, explosives. |
| 01:37:49 |
Yes, Captain, I see. |
| 01:37:52 |
The trial's got nothing to do |
| 01:37:55 |
No. |
| 01:37:57 |
It's the way it had to go. |
| 01:38:00 |
We're out of time, Hart. |
| 01:38:03 |
We lose this theater tomorrow. |
| 01:38:04 |
Uh-huh, and I'm supposed to keep |
| 01:38:07 |
while half the camp goes out. |
| 01:38:09 |
Is that it, Captain? |
| 01:38:15 |
I'm asking |
| 01:38:33 |
I've just seen the tunnel, |
| 01:38:41 |
In here, Lieutenant. |
| 01:39:01 |
Everything in this place |
| 01:39:03 |
Everything. |
| 01:39:12 |
Jesus Christ. |
| 01:39:16 |
First he told the Germans |
| 01:39:19 |
It was only a matter of time... |
| 01:39:20 |
before he told them about |
| 01:39:26 |
You killed Bedford. |
| 01:39:32 |
That's right. |
| 01:39:41 |
If you fuck with this operation |
| 01:39:49 |
You will sit in |
| 01:39:50 |
as Captain Sisk drags out |
| 01:39:54 |
Make whatever summation |
| 01:39:59 |
When that board breaks |
| 01:40:01 |
35 men go under the wire. |
| 01:40:03 |
And Lincoln Scott will be dead. |
| 01:40:04 |
That's war, Lieutenant. |
| 01:40:05 |
The war's at the front, Colonel. |
| 01:40:07 |
Speak for yourself! |
| 01:40:11 |
You know those Russians... |
| 01:40:12 |
they march in and out of here |
| 01:40:14 |
- You know where they go? |
| 01:40:16 |
The army thinks |
| 01:40:24 |
Look... |
| 01:40:26 |
I don't want to see Scott dead |
| 01:40:29 |
But if one man |
| 01:40:31 |
to take out that target... |
| 01:40:32 |
then that's the way |
| 01:40:33 |
- I agree completely, sir. |
| 01:40:38 |
But I think that one man |
| 01:40:41 |
And don't worry. |
| 01:40:43 |
But at the end of the trial... |
| 01:40:44 |
you're going to tap |
| 01:40:47 |
You're going to stand up... |
| 01:40:48 |
and you're going to confess to |
| 01:40:50 |
Your duty demands that. |
| 01:40:51 |
Fuck you, Hart. |
| 01:40:52 |
What the fuck would you know |
| 01:40:57 |
I'll see you in court, sir. |
| 01:41:21 |
I got a better question. |
| 01:41:22 |
What was in that goddamn soup |
| 01:41:24 |
I got 20 men |
| 01:41:38 |
Colonel? Whoa! Colonel! |
| 01:41:42 |
You're in no shape |
| 01:41:45 |
I'm fine. Really, I'm fine. |
| 01:41:47 |
Here we go. |
| 01:41:50 |
We'll convene as scheduled |
| 01:41:53 |
Square 'em up. |
| 01:41:56 |
Prisoners, attention! |
| 01:42:03 |
New order, gentlemen. |
| 01:42:05 |
Captain Sisk... |
| 01:42:07 |
is the prosecution ready |
| 01:42:11 |
We are, Your Honor. |
| 01:42:13 |
Very well. |
| 01:42:25 |
I'm sorry, gentlemen. |
| 01:42:26 |
The court needs a 5-minute |
| 01:42:31 |
Colonel. Colonel! |
| 01:42:33 |
Colonel? Colonel! |
| 01:42:35 |
Let's get him back |
| 01:42:37 |
Get his coat. |
| 01:42:38 |
Get some rest, sir. |
| 01:42:40 |
All right, come on. |
| 01:42:43 |
We need an extension, Colonel. |
| 01:42:46 |
The agreement was |
| 01:42:48 |
It's a matter of courtesy, |
| 01:42:49 |
The agreement was today! |
| 01:42:57 |
I need to talk to you. |
| 01:43:14 |
Are you any good at poker, |
| 01:43:17 |
There's an escape going to take |
| 01:43:21 |
Escape? How's that? |
| 01:43:25 |
Down a tunnel through |
| 01:43:29 |
while the jury's |
| 01:43:35 |
So what you mean? |
| 01:43:38 |
Yes. |
| 01:43:40 |
But Archer and Bedford |
| 01:43:43 |
Is that part |
| 01:43:45 |
Look, we haven't got time now. |
| 01:43:48 |
During deliberations you're |
| 01:43:50 |
with 35 other men. |
| 01:43:52 |
Is McNamara, too? |
| 01:43:56 |
Yeah, McNamara, too. |
| 01:44:02 |
It's funny. |
| 01:44:05 |
and in the letter I was |
| 01:44:08 |
what the word honor means. |
| 01:44:13 |
It would be a hell of a thing, |
| 01:44:16 |
to find out that your father |
| 01:44:18 |
escape from a place |
| 01:44:21 |
You're going out, too, Lincoln. |
| 01:44:25 |
I can't do that, Tommy. |
| 01:44:29 |
Suppose the board comes back... |
| 01:44:31 |
and there's nobody sitting in |
| 01:44:34 |
It doesn't matter. |
| 01:44:35 |
Then the search begins... |
| 01:44:37 |
and all those men, |
| 01:44:40 |
Lincoln, if you stay, |
| 01:44:43 |
If I stay, those men |
| 01:44:47 |
And you'll be executed. |
| 01:44:55 |
Lincoln, listen to me, please. |
| 01:44:56 |
Everything's fine, Tommy. |
| 01:44:59 |
Everything's really OK... |
| 01:45:04 |
just as long as he knows |
| 01:45:09 |
As long as there's |
| 01:45:18 |
How far could I get anyway? |
| 01:45:20 |
A colored man running through |
| 01:45:24 |
It'd be target practice. |
| 01:45:51 |
It started with a noble idea. |
| 01:45:55 |
Letting colored men |
| 01:45:59 |
But no one in the Air Corps ever |
| 01:46:02 |
if one of those Tuskegee men |
| 01:46:07 |
No one ever asked |
| 01:46:09 |
if a colored officer |
| 01:46:11 |
and sent to a stalag |
| 01:46:15 |
But Lincoln Scott was shot down |
| 01:46:20 |
and once here, |
| 01:46:23 |
amongst white enlisted men, |
| 01:46:26 |
Men like Staff Sergeant |
| 01:46:29 |
Bedford, the real Bedford, |
| 01:46:33 |
Hateful, vengeful, with |
| 01:46:39 |
A man who simply couldn't |
| 01:46:42 |
of sharing a roof |
| 01:46:45 |
So he badgered Scott, |
| 01:46:48 |
Even refused |
| 01:46:51 |
Then conspired to kill the only |
| 01:46:55 |
That's why Scott |
| 01:46:58 |
the night in question... |
| 01:46:59 |
crept up behind him |
| 01:47:05 |
Members of the board, |
| 01:47:06 |
in prosecuting |
| 01:47:09 |
but a capital charge requires... |
| 01:47:11 |
that we put aside |
| 01:47:14 |
wedding ourselves |
| 01:47:18 |
It is this. |
| 01:47:20 |
Lieutenant Scott |
| 01:47:21 |
and unimpeachably identified |
| 01:47:24 |
He had motive, |
| 01:47:27 |
and he had an animus |
| 01:47:29 |
which was confirmed |
| 01:47:34 |
Lincoln Scott is an officer, |
| 01:47:39 |
but he is also a murderer. |
| 01:48:07 |
There's a tenet that was |
| 01:48:11 |
from our first day in basic. |
| 01:48:14 |
Sometimes 1 man |
| 01:48:16 |
for the good |
| 01:48:18 |
Someone has to be first |
| 01:48:21 |
or to jump on a grenade |
| 01:48:25 |
so coordinates can be drawn |
| 01:48:28 |
Vic Bedford |
| 01:48:30 |
except Vic got it backwards. |
| 01:48:33 |
Vic thought that sometimes |
| 01:48:35 |
must be sacrificed |
| 01:48:39 |
Him. For Vic. |
| 01:48:41 |
The watchword was expediency. |
| 01:48:44 |
One day he'd trade |
| 01:48:45 |
to get hard-to-find parts |
| 01:48:48 |
earning him the loyalty |
| 01:48:50 |
and his staff. |
| 01:48:51 |
Then Vic would tell the Germans |
| 01:48:54 |
Go. |
| 01:48:55 |
in exchange for the murder |
| 01:48:59 |
The army has its share |
| 01:49:04 |
and Vic Bedford was one of them. |
| 01:49:06 |
It also has heroes... |
| 01:49:10 |
Lincoln Scott who wanted nothing |
| 01:49:13 |
And serve he did. |
| 01:49:15 |
Nine downed German fighters, |
| 01:49:18 |
until one of those missions |
| 01:49:21 |
where Vic Bedford and the sad |
| 01:49:25 |
were lying in wait. |
| 01:49:27 |
Scott was a target |
| 01:49:30 |
He suffered insults, threats, |
| 01:49:35 |
He did not kill Vic Bedford. |
| 01:49:39 |
No. |
| 01:49:42 |
Someone beat him to it. |
| 01:49:46 |
It could've been |
| 01:49:49 |
The guard who thought |
| 01:49:52 |
A fellow kriegie who discovered |
| 01:49:55 |
Even one of our |
| 01:49:57 |
as punishment for |
| 01:49:59 |
So this, then, is our victim? |
| 01:50:01 |
A bigot. A traitor. A rat. |
| 01:50:06 |
Enemy of every kriegie in camp. |
| 01:50:10 |
The question is, who hated him |
| 01:50:18 |
Colonel. |
| 01:50:28 |
I did. |
| 01:50:34 |
Wait a minute. |
| 01:50:36 |
I killed Vic Bedford, sir. |
| 01:50:40 |
Come on, Colonel. Here. |
| 01:50:45 |
I want every man in the compound |
| 01:50:48 |
for the execution |
| 01:50:52 |
Very brave. |
| 01:50:55 |
Colonel, this man has rights. |
| 01:50:56 |
Not anymore. |
| 01:50:57 |
This court still has to |
| 01:50:59 |
I am the court now! |
| 01:51:00 |
Now. Get him up. |
| 01:51:10 |
Get out. |
| 01:53:26 |
I want every man... |
| 01:53:28 |
who participated |
| 01:53:29 |
removed from the line. |
| 01:53:37 |
Line them up. |
| 01:53:39 |
Line them up. Now. |
| 01:53:41 |
These men knew nothing, Colonel. |
| 01:53:44 |
Line them up! |
| 01:53:48 |
You will be the first. |
| 01:53:49 |
These men knew nothing. |
| 01:53:50 |
You will be the first! |
| 01:53:52 |
Colonel, they knew nothing! |
| 01:55:16 |
So, your men are saboteurs |
| 01:55:20 |
No, Colonel, |
| 01:55:23 |
They were following my orders. |
| 01:55:25 |
I assume complete |
| 01:55:31 |
That's very noble of you. |
| 01:55:42 |
Seems you've won our duel |
| 01:55:49 |
No. |
| 01:55:52 |
We both lose, don't we? |
| 01:55:59 |
Yeah. |
| 01:56:03 |
And now you wish to |
| 01:56:17 |
Yes, I do. |
| 01:56:53 |
Very well. |
| 01:59:25 |
We buried the Colonel in |
| 01:59:29 |
Three months later, |
| 01:59:31 |
Our stalag was liberated. |
| 01:59:34 |
The war was over. |
| 01:59:37 |
We returned home to America, |
| 01:59:42 |
Lincoln Scott got the chance... |
| 01:59:43 |
to explain the word honor |
| 01:59:47 |
Honor and courage, |
| 01:59:52 |
Lincoln's son came |
| 01:59:55 |
and so have I. |
