0:01:33 > 0:01:35< Tom.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38The Captain needs back to the 106th. Can you find a driver?
0:01:38 > 0:01:39I can take him, sir.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Funny. I had a feeling you'd say that.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44There hasn't been much movement today, sir.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45So I see. Captain.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Don't forget, sir. You wanted to send champagne along.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51< Yes.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Yes, thank you for reminding me, Tom.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23You know what this army could use, sir? Snowplough services.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26What we could use is half a million gallons of gasoline
0:02:26 > 0:02:29and a road that wasn't paved with Bouncing Bettie's.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31German S-mines.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Yes, sir.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34You ought to spend a night
0:02:34 > 0:02:37on the line sometime, Lieutenant.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38I know that, sir.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Of course, it's not too likely, is it?
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Sir?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45The Colonel says your father is a senator,
0:02:45 > 0:02:49so I guess you won't spend too many nights in a foxhole, will you?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53It's nothing to be ashamed of, son.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54That's a hell of a father to have.

0:03:22 > 0:03:23St Vith is due west.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28I'm pretty sure St Vith is due east.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Sergeant, it's straight ahead.

0:08:22 > 0:08:23Lieutenant.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Hey, Captain, does somebody tell our folks
0:08:55 > 0:08:56about us being captured?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Germans give a list to the military
0:08:58 > 0:09:00and the military notifies the families.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Is that voluntary, sir?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04How do you mean, Lieutenant?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Uh, I mean, can you ask them not to?
0:09:09 > 0:09:10I don't think so.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Have to put some straw in there.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Straw in your shoes, for frostbite.

0:50:16 > 0:50:17See, the thing about the colonel is
0:50:17 > 0:50:18he's not like you and me.
0:50:18 > 0:50:19He's West Point, fourth generation.
0:50:19 > 0:50:21He was raised on all this.
0:50:22 > 0:50:24So crap like this,
0:50:24 > 0:50:27catching a junior officer in an obvious lie,
0:50:27 > 0:50:29all it does is remind him of how far away he is
0:50:29 > 0:50:32from the real war -
0:50:32 > 0:50:35the one he's supposed to be fighting.
0:50:35 > 0:50:36You see?
0:50:48 > 0:50:50CREAKING
0:51:17 > 0:51:19Damn it, Lincoln.
0:51:26 > 0:51:27MAN: What are you doing?
0:51:30 > 0:51:32You should have sold some tickets for this one.
0:51:34 > 0:51:35WHISTLE
0:51:35 > 0:51:37MEN SHOUTING IN GERMAN
0:51:37 > 0:51:38DOGS BARKING
0:51:46 > 0:51:48WHISTLE
0:51:48 > 0:51:51MAN SHOUTING IN GERMAN
0:51:51 > 0:51:54Raus! Raus! Move it, move it!
0:52:01 > 0:52:04MEN SPEAKING GERMAN
0:52:12 > 0:52:14VISSER: Two of your men dead in two days, Colonel.
0:52:14 > 0:52:18It seems you've lost control of your company.
0:52:19 > 0:52:20Will Lieutenant Scott be granted the right
0:52:20 > 0:52:22to stand trial and face this charge?
0:52:22 > 0:52:24Major Fussel saw him standing over the body.
0:52:24 > 0:52:27I would say he's HAD his trial.
0:52:27 > 0:52:28Any prisoner accused of a crime
0:52:28 > 0:52:30against another prisoner has a right to a trial.
0:52:30 > 0:52:32And if the boy were being held in Alabama,
0:52:32 > 0:52:34there wouldn't be any trial at all.
0:52:34 > 0:52:36Is this not so?
0:52:36 > 0:52:38Yeah, maybe you're right, Colonel.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40Maybe we should just forget the trial.
0:52:40 > 0:52:42Let's just drag him out of the barracks
0:52:42 > 0:52:43and shoot two holes in his chest
0:52:43 > 0:52:46like you did with Lieutenant Archer.
0:52:46 > 0:52:48Uh-huh.
0:52:49 > 0:52:51A trial.
0:52:51 > 0:52:53A court-martial.
0:52:53 > 0:52:56Like in your American movies?
0:52:56 > 0:52:58Yes?
0:52:58 > 0:53:01Yeah, something like that.
0:53:01 > 0:53:03That should be fun.
0:53:03 > 0:53:05Yeah.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09All right, Colonel.
0:53:09 > 0:53:12You may conduct it in your theatre here.
0:53:26 > 0:53:28Colonel, my men are in this theatre every day.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30With your permission,
0:53:30 > 0:53:31we'd like to erect a billet tent
0:53:31 > 0:53:33to house the proceedings.
0:53:33 > 0:53:34No.
0:53:34 > 0:53:35Your theatre will do quite nicely.
0:53:35 > 0:53:37You have until the end of the week
0:53:37 > 0:53:38to conduct your trial.
0:53:38 > 0:53:40It's a capital charge, Colonel.
0:53:40 > 0:53:41The trial will take more than a few days.
0:53:41 > 0:53:431,000 more American prisoners from the Ardennes
0:53:43 > 0:53:45will be arriving over the weekend,
0:53:45 > 0:53:48and I am putting them in your theatre.
0:53:48 > 0:53:49Colonel, I just explained to you...
0:53:49 > 0:53:52Colonel, Saturday, your theatre is mine.
0:54:06 > 0:54:07Wait. Colonel!
0:54:08 > 0:54:09This is a murder site.
0:54:18 > 0:54:20I beg your pardon, Lieutenant.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22I said this is a murder site.
0:54:22 > 0:54:24The body and everything around it
0:54:24 > 0:54:25are now evidence.
0:54:25 > 0:54:27This area cannot be disturbed
0:54:27 > 0:54:29until everything is photographed.
0:54:32 > 0:54:33Of course.
0:54:45 > 0:54:48I'm appointing you counsel for Lieutenant Scott.
0:54:51 > 0:54:53Sir, I'm not a lawyer.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55You sounded like one a minute ago.
0:54:56 > 0:54:59I could be a material witness.
0:54:59 > 0:55:00I mean, I heard the lieutenant going out.
0:55:00 > 0:55:01The lieutenant needs our help.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04I've appointed you counsel.
0:55:04 > 0:55:05Understood?
0:55:06 > 0:55:07Yes, sir.
0:55:07 > 0:55:09Dismissed, Lieutenant.
0:55:11 > 0:55:12Sir.
0:55:53 > 0:55:55SCOTT: And this guy that's prosecuting me,
0:55:55 > 0:55:58this Captain Sisk,
0:55:58 > 0:55:59is he a real lawyer?
0:56:00 > 0:56:01Yes.
0:56:01 > 0:56:03That sounds about right.
0:56:05 > 0:56:08I think we have to paint this thing as a fight, Scott.
0:56:08 > 0:56:09That's all.
0:56:09 > 0:56:12It's a fight that got a little out of hand.
0:56:12 > 0:56:15You're supposed to ask me if I did it, first.
0:56:16 > 0:56:20Look, I came here to kill Nazis.
0:56:20 > 0:56:22If it was some crackers that I wanted to kill
0:56:22 > 0:56:23I could have stayed in Macon.
0:56:23 > 0:56:26Major Fussel ID'd you standing over the body.
0:56:26 > 0:56:27Fussel is a Nazi!
0:56:27 > 0:56:30No. Fussel is a witness.
0:56:31 > 0:56:33And he's enough to hang you.
0:56:34 > 0:56:36Look, all I'm saying is if it was a fight
0:56:36 > 0:56:37that got a little out of hand,
0:56:37 > 0:56:40then it's not murder. It's manslaughter.
0:56:40 > 0:56:41Do you understand that?
0:56:49 > 0:56:50Man, oh, man.
0:56:52 > 0:56:54Can I fire you?
0:56:54 > 0:56:56Now, look, Scott, I'm just trying...
0:56:56 > 0:56:58If it's a coloured guy on trial,
0:56:58 > 0:57:01and it's a white man who's been murdered,
0:57:01 > 0:57:04there's no such thing as manslaughter.
0:57:04 > 0:57:06Don't you know that?
0:57:06 > 0:57:07Or is that something that they teach you
0:57:07 > 0:57:09in the third year of law school?
0:57:11 > 0:57:13What do you expect from me, anyway?
0:57:13 > 0:57:15A "Hey, yes, sir, boss."
0:57:15 > 0:57:18Or "Why, thank you, boss. You're mighty kind."
0:57:18 > 0:57:20Is that the way a railroaded coloured man acts
0:57:20 > 0:57:22where you're from?
0:57:22 > 0:57:23Nobody's railroading you, Scott.
0:57:23 > 0:57:24Then how come the only real lawyer
0:57:24 > 0:57:26is the guy that's prosecuting me,
0:57:26 > 0:57:28and I'm stuck with you defending me?
0:57:31 > 0:57:34That's how the Colonel wanted it.
0:57:34 > 0:57:36Yeah, but I ain't being railroaded.
0:57:42 > 0:57:44MEN SHOUTING IN GERMAN
0:57:49 > 0:57:51I'll meet you back at the barracks.
0:57:51 > 0:57:52Yes, sir.
0:58:02 > 0:58:04Well, Lieutenant?
0:58:04 > 0:58:06I'm gonna need a few things, sir.
0:58:06 > 0:58:08Who has Bedford's personal effects?
0:58:08 > 0:58:09We do.
0:58:09 > 0:58:11I'll need to see them,
0:58:11 > 0:58:14and the photographs that were taken of the scene,
0:58:14 > 0:58:16and of course, his body.
0:58:18 > 0:58:20What did Scott tell you?
0:58:20 > 0:58:21Sir?
0:58:21 > 0:58:25You were with him all day. What did he tell you?
0:58:25 > 0:58:27I'm sorry, sir. I can't reveal that.
0:58:27 > 0:58:29Sure you can.
0:58:29 > 0:58:31Attorney-client privilege, sir.
0:58:33 > 0:58:35Only an attorney has attorney-client privilege.
0:58:35 > 0:58:37I need to be briefed on everything
0:58:37 > 0:58:38that Scott intends to testify to.
0:58:38 > 0:58:40Sir, you're going to be president
0:58:40 > 0:58:41of the court-martial.
0:58:41 > 0:58:43How can I possibly discuss our case with you?
0:58:43 > 0:58:44Are you suggesting
0:58:44 > 0:58:46that I would betray Lieutenant Scott?
0:58:46 > 0:58:49That I would share details of his case
0:58:49 > 0:58:50with the prosecution?
0:58:52 > 0:58:53No, sir.
0:58:53 > 0:58:56Scott followed Bedford out through the night latrine.
0:58:56 > 0:58:58If he testifies to that fact,
0:58:58 > 0:59:00every German in this camp will know how we get in
0:59:00 > 0:59:01and out of the barracks after dark,
0:59:01 > 0:59:03and every man in this camp would be compromised
0:59:03 > 0:59:04because of that.
0:59:04 > 0:59:06Are you following this, Lieutenant?
0:59:06 > 0:59:07Yes, sir. Good.
0:59:09 > 0:59:11Now, Scott will testify that he went out
0:59:11 > 0:59:13through a hole beneath the stove
0:59:13 > 0:59:15in the barracks.
0:59:15 > 0:59:18And you will make certain that he is clear on that.
0:59:18 > 0:59:19Do we understand each other, Lieutenant?
0:59:19 > 0:59:21We do, sir.
0:59:22 > 0:59:23Dismissed.
0:59:24 > 0:59:26Permission to speak, sir.
0:59:26 > 0:59:27Speak freely.
0:59:27 > 0:59:30Scott thinks this is all just for show.
0:59:30 > 0:59:32He thinks you passed sentence
0:59:32 > 0:59:34as soon as the body hit the ground.
0:59:37 > 0:59:39Is he right?
0:59:39 > 0:59:42Bedford's footlocker is in my barracks.
0:59:42 > 0:59:44I'll make sure you get it.
1:00:19 > 1:00:21VISSER: Not much to look at, is he?
1:00:29 > 1:00:31Did you know him?
1:00:31 > 1:00:33No.
1:00:33 > 1:00:34Not personally.
1:00:34 > 1:00:37But my guards certainly seemed to.
1:00:38 > 1:00:39These are for you.
1:00:44 > 1:00:45Thank you.
1:00:48 > 1:00:49How well?
1:00:49 > 1:00:50Hmm?
1:00:50 > 1:00:53Your guards, you said they knew him. How well?
1:00:55 > 1:00:58Well, you'd have to ask them about that.
1:01:04 > 1:01:06This is yours, too, I believe.
1:01:09 > 1:01:11We found it on his wrist.
1:01:11 > 1:01:13But with the inscription
1:01:13 > 1:01:15and those new boots on your feet,
1:01:15 > 1:01:16I made the assumption.
1:01:18 > 1:01:21It's a little hard to imagine, Colonel,
1:01:21 > 1:01:24your guards sitting for an interview.
1:01:24 > 1:01:26I can arrange it.
1:01:26 > 1:01:29I can arrange anything you like.
1:01:30 > 1:01:32It seems only fair -
1:01:32 > 1:01:34what with your colonel throwing you to the wolves.
1:01:36 > 1:01:38I'm not sure I follow you.
1:01:38 > 1:01:39Really?
1:01:41 > 1:01:45Yale isn't in the habit of accepting half-wits.
1:01:45 > 1:01:46At least it wasn't
1:01:46 > 1:01:48when I was studying there.
1:01:50 > 1:01:54The oldest member of the class of '28.
1:01:54 > 1:01:58My fellow students voted me hardest worker.
1:02:01 > 1:02:02But we can swap stories
1:02:02 > 1:02:04some other time, can't we?
1:02:04 > 1:02:07Right now we've got a trial to prepare for.
1:02:10 > 1:02:13It's a sincere offer, Lieutenant.
1:02:15 > 1:02:18Anything I can do to help...
1:02:18 > 1:02:19Truly.
1:02:22 > 1:02:25SISK: And exactly where were you, Major Fussel,
1:02:25 > 1:02:26on the night in question?
1:02:26 > 1:02:28FUSSEL: I was walking the area
1:02:28 > 1:02:31behind this theatre and the Australian compound.
1:02:31 > 1:02:33SISK: At about what time?
1:02:33 > 1:02:35Maybe about 1:00 in the morning.
1:02:35 > 1:02:38And can you tell the court what you saw?
1:02:38 > 1:02:40The schwarz Lieutenant Scott
1:02:40 > 1:02:42was kneeling over the body.
1:02:42 > 1:02:44It looked to me like he was checking
1:02:44 > 1:02:45that the man was dead.
1:02:45 > 1:02:47I blew my whistle, and he started to run.
1:02:47 > 1:02:49And what did you do next?
1:02:49 > 1:02:52I would have shot, but it was dark.
1:02:52 > 1:02:53And so was he.
1:02:53 > 1:02:55MEN CHUCKLING
1:02:55 > 1:02:56HART: Major Fussel,
1:02:56 > 1:02:57how well did you know Sergeant Bedford?
1:02:57 > 1:02:59A little, I think.
1:02:59 > 1:03:00HART: You traded with him regularly.
1:03:00 > 1:03:01Traded?
1:03:01 > 1:03:03Bartered.
1:03:03 > 1:03:04Cigarettes for a pair of boots.
1:03:04 > 1:03:07Chocolate for some spare parts.
1:03:07 > 1:03:09No. I never did this.
1:03:09 > 1:03:11A Kriegie trading with a German soldier?
1:03:11 > 1:03:13I never saw it.
1:03:13 > 1:03:14PRIVATE: Am I allowed to repeat
1:03:14 > 1:03:15what he actually said, Captain?
1:03:15 > 1:03:17You may, Private.
1:03:17 > 1:03:19Lieutenant Scott said, "I'll kill you.
1:03:19 > 1:03:21"I'll fucking kill you, Bedford."
1:03:21 > 1:03:23Corporal, have you ever heard any other man
1:03:23 > 1:03:26threaten a fellow soldier during your time in the army?
1:03:26 > 1:03:27"Better shape up or I'll kill you."
1:03:27 > 1:03:29"I'll kill you if you touch my cigarettes again."
1:03:29 > 1:03:30That sort of thing?
1:03:30 > 1:03:31CORPORAL: Yes, sir.
1:03:31 > 1:03:32I'll bet you've even made such a threat yourself
1:03:32 > 1:03:33once or twice.
1:03:33 > 1:03:34I suppose so.
1:03:34 > 1:03:35Corporal, did you ever
1:03:35 > 1:03:36actually kill any of the men
1:03:36 > 1:03:38you threatened in this manner?
1:03:38 > 1:03:40No, sir.
1:03:41 > 1:03:42But I'm not coloured.
1:03:42 > 1:03:44I can control myself.
1:03:44 > 1:03:46So, you, too, had heard the threats
1:03:46 > 1:03:48made by the accused against Sergeant Bedford?
1:03:48 > 1:03:49HART: Your honour, this being
1:03:49 > 1:03:50the fourth prosecution witness
1:03:50 > 1:03:52called to testify in this matter,
1:03:52 > 1:03:54if the defence will stipulate
1:03:54 > 1:03:55that the accused did indeed threaten the life
1:03:55 > 1:03:56of Sergeant Bedford,
1:03:56 > 1:03:58could we dispense with any further testimony
1:03:58 > 1:03:59to his having done so?
1:03:59 > 1:04:00Your honour, Sergeant Webb is being called
1:04:00 > 1:04:02as an eyewitness to the crime itself.
1:04:02 > 1:04:03He's what?
1:04:03 > 1:04:05Is that right, Sergeant?
1:04:05 > 1:04:06Yes, sir.
1:04:06 > 1:04:07Sir, that's a lie.
1:04:07 > 1:04:09SISK: Your honour, the sergeant will testify
1:04:09 > 1:04:10that on the night of the murder
1:04:10 > 1:04:13he watched through a window in barracks 27
1:04:13 > 1:04:15as Lieutenant Scott accosted Sergeant Bedford
1:04:15 > 1:04:17outside the theatre and broke his neck.
1:04:17 > 1:04:18Your honour, he did no such thing.
1:04:18 > 1:04:20I was standing right beside Sergeant Webb
1:04:20 > 1:04:21at the exact time of the murder.
1:04:21 > 1:04:22He saw nothing of the sort.
1:04:22 > 1:04:24The hell I didn't.
1:04:24 > 1:04:25You don't know what I saw.
1:04:25 > 1:04:26Sir, I request that this court
1:04:26 > 1:04:29instruct this witness as to the consequences
1:04:29 > 1:04:30of perjuring himself in a court...
1:04:30 > 1:04:31MCNAMARA: He put his hand on the bible
1:04:31 > 1:04:33and swore to tell the truth, Lieutenant.
1:04:33 > 1:04:34That's good enough for me.
1:04:34 > 1:04:35We've had no prior notice...
1:04:35 > 1:04:36Sit down, Lieutenant.
1:04:36 > 1:04:37HART: Your honour, his bias alone...
1:04:37 > 1:04:38Lieutenant!
1:04:40 > 1:04:42Sit down, please.
1:04:53 > 1:04:55I'll catch up.
1:04:56 > 1:04:58FIRST MAN: I gotta go make some trades in barracks 18.
1:04:58 > 1:05:00SECOND MAN: See if you can get me some smokes.
1:05:00 > 1:05:02Webb...
1:05:02 > 1:05:03You're a lying sack of shit, you know that?
1:05:03 > 1:05:05Yeah, and maybe you ought to mind
1:05:05 > 1:05:05your own business.
1:05:05 > 1:05:06This doesn't concern you, West.
1:05:06 > 1:05:07Hey, Lieutenant.
1:05:07 > 1:05:08Or you. Any of you.
1:05:08 > 1:05:09What do you know, Joe?
1:05:09 > 1:05:10George S Patton just showed up.
1:05:10 > 1:05:12Return to your barracks, Corporal.
1:05:12 > 1:05:14Take your two friends with you.
1:05:18 > 1:05:19So, what is it, Webb?
1:05:19 > 1:05:21Up there today.
1:05:21 > 1:05:23You think you owe it to Vic?
1:05:24 > 1:05:26Why are you so bent
1:05:26 > 1:05:27about that flying bellhop anyway?
1:05:27 > 1:05:28He's a soldier.
1:05:28 > 1:05:30Vic Bedford was a soldier.
1:05:30 > 1:05:33He fought. He had courage.
1:05:33 > 1:05:35You wouldn't know too much about that,
1:05:35 > 1:05:36would you, Lieutenant?
1:05:36 > 1:05:39You lied in there today.
1:05:39 > 1:05:40You didn't see what happened any more than I did.
1:05:40 > 1:05:44I didn't have to. I know.
1:05:44 > 1:05:46Not good enough.
1:05:46 > 1:05:48It's good enough for McNamara.
1:06:10 > 1:06:13Sorry about what happened in there today, Lincoln.
1:06:13 > 1:06:15I didn't see it coming.
1:06:17 > 1:06:18You're saying that's the first time
1:06:18 > 1:06:21you seen a man lie through his teeth
1:06:21 > 1:06:24holding his hand on the bible?
1:06:24 > 1:06:26I was writing a letter to my father.
1:06:26 > 1:06:29Figured I should tell him first.
1:06:32 > 1:06:35He was part of the 369th Infantry
1:06:35 > 1:06:39in the last war, the old 15th.
1:06:39 > 1:06:41They was the first negro troops
1:06:41 > 1:06:43to go into action in France.
1:06:45 > 1:06:47Did your father serve?
1:06:47 > 1:06:50Mm. My father was in headquarters.
1:06:50 > 1:06:53He had an 8 on his shoulder, too.
1:06:53 > 1:06:55His father made sure of it.
1:06:55 > 1:06:58That's how we do things in our family.
1:07:00 > 1:07:03That's a shame.
1:07:03 > 1:07:05Got your testimony to prepare.
1:07:08 > 1:07:09Yeah.
1:07:22 > 1:07:24SPEAKING GERMAN
1:07:38 > 1:07:42Lieutenant, how are you?
1:07:42 > 1:07:44Not too well, I imagine.
1:07:44 > 1:07:47Come on up.
1:07:49 > 1:07:51That was quite a beating
1:07:51 > 1:07:53you took today.
1:07:54 > 1:07:56It's warm inside.
1:08:05 > 1:08:07You've read Mark Twain?
1:08:07 > 1:08:09It's wonderful.
1:08:09 > 1:08:11Colonel, I have witnesses to prepare for.
1:08:11 > 1:08:13Yes. I know.
1:08:13 > 1:08:15That's why I wanted to see you.
1:08:30 > 1:08:31We keep a library
1:08:31 > 1:08:33of all American military manuals.
1:08:33 > 1:08:34I thought this one
1:08:34 > 1:08:37might be of particular use to you.
1:08:41 > 1:08:43I can't accept this, Colonel.
1:08:43 > 1:08:44We have a policy about fraternizing...
1:08:44 > 1:08:46Lieutenant, without this, your client
1:08:46 > 1:08:48will face the firing squad.
1:08:48 > 1:08:50Would that be better?
1:08:58 > 1:08:59Your son?
1:09:01 > 1:09:02Yes.
1:09:02 > 1:09:04Where's he fighting?
1:09:09 > 1:09:11He is not anymore.
1:09:12 > 1:09:14The Russian front.
1:09:14 > 1:09:16Novograd.
1:09:16 > 1:09:19Horrible place.
1:09:22 > 1:09:24I'm sorry.
1:09:26 > 1:09:27I killed my share
1:09:27 > 1:09:31of English and French, I suppose...
1:09:31 > 1:09:33in the first war.
1:09:33 > 1:09:37They had fathers, too.
1:09:46 > 1:09:48It's verboten, you know...
1:09:50 > 1:09:52Negro jazz.
1:09:53 > 1:09:55These might be the only copies
1:09:55 > 1:09:57of their kind in the entire Reich.
1:09:59 > 1:10:02But I'm quite fond of them.
1:10:06 > 1:10:08Nice to read by, anyway.
1:10:10 > 1:10:12Takes a man right back.
1:10:15 > 1:10:17Take a seat.
1:10:20 > 1:10:22Thank you for your time, Colonel.
1:10:24 > 1:10:25Lieutenant...
1:10:28 > 1:10:30Enjoy the manual.
1:10:51 > 1:10:52Come to order, gentlemen.
1:10:52 > 1:10:54Captain Sisk, is the prosecution
1:10:54 > 1:10:55prepared to call its next witness?
1:10:55 > 1:10:57We are, your honour.
1:10:57 > 1:10:58Begging the court's pardon, sir.
1:10:58 > 1:11:00Yes, Lieutenant?
1:11:00 > 1:11:01HART: Before we continue, your honour,
1:11:01 > 1:11:02it's been brought to my attention
1:11:02 > 1:11:03that the court may have overlooked
1:11:03 > 1:11:05a few procedural matters yesterday.
1:11:05 > 1:11:08I'm referring to the US Army Manual
1:11:08 > 1:11:09For Courts-Martial
1:11:09 > 1:11:12Chapter 12, sections 57, 58.
1:11:12 > 1:11:14MCNAMARA: Make your point.
1:11:14 > 1:11:15According to these sections, your honour,
1:11:15 > 1:11:17the court was obliged yesterday
1:11:17 > 1:11:18to ask the accused if he wished to challenge
1:11:18 > 1:11:20any members of the court
1:11:20 > 1:11:21for peremptory disqualification
1:11:21 > 1:11:24before any pleas were entered.
1:11:24 > 1:11:25A little late in the game for that,
1:11:25 > 1:11:26isn't it, Lieutenant?
1:11:26 > 1:11:29Nevertheless, it is a right
1:11:29 > 1:11:30specifically granted to the defendant.
1:11:35 > 1:11:37Very well.
1:11:39 > 1:11:40Does the accused wish to challenge
1:11:40 > 1:11:41any member of the court now?
1:11:41 > 1:11:44HART: We do, your honour.
1:11:44 > 1:11:45You, sir.
1:11:47 > 1:11:50Request denied. Proceed, Captain Sisk.
1:11:50 > 1:11:53HART: Sir, according to Chapter 12, Section 58d,
1:11:53 > 1:11:54defence is allowed one peremptory challenge
1:11:54 > 1:11:56of the board, and this challenge is not subject
1:11:56 > 1:11:58to any ruling by the court itself.
1:11:58 > 1:11:59MCNAMARA: Request denied, Lieutenant.
1:11:59 > 1:12:01HART: Then the court must address section 58e
1:12:01 > 1:12:03which states the defence may disqualify
1:12:03 > 1:12:05a member of the board for cause
1:12:05 > 1:12:07if that member has displayed a bias
1:12:07 > 1:12:08toward the accused or his case.
1:12:08 > 1:12:09This court has shown no bias
1:12:09 > 1:12:10in this case, Lieutenant.
1:12:10 > 1:12:12HART: The court has demonstrated
1:12:12 > 1:12:13in ex parte conversations before the commencement
1:12:13 > 1:12:16of this hearing a distinct prejudice
1:12:16 > 1:12:18against the accused, his case,
1:12:18 > 1:12:20and his counsel, sir.
1:12:35 > 1:12:37MCNAMARA: Very well.
1:12:37 > 1:12:39We'll take a short recess to consider the matter.
1:12:39 > 1:12:41Lieutenant Hart. Sir?
1:12:41 > 1:12:43Can I see you outside for a moment, please?
1:12:56 > 1:12:58Sir?
1:12:58 > 1:13:00Listen to me, you pampered little shit,
1:13:00 > 1:13:04I will not be laughed at. Not by him.
1:13:04 > 1:13:06Sir, I'm just trying to protect my client.
1:13:06 > 1:13:09Your client's about to lose his lawyer, Lieutenant.
1:13:09 > 1:13:10Sir?
1:13:10 > 1:13:13Article 32: Contempt of court.
1:13:13 > 1:13:16Article 70: Intentional delay.

1:13:19 > 1:13:20Forwards and backwards.
1:13:20 > 1:13:22Then you must know, sir, that...
1:13:22 > 1:13:24Shut up and listen to me, Lieutenant.
1:13:25 > 1:13:27You will not accept anything
1:13:27 > 1:13:28from that commandant again.
1:13:28 > 1:13:30Is that clear?
1:13:30 > 1:13:33You will not allow him to participate
1:13:33 > 1:13:35in these proceedings, is that clear?
1:13:35 > 1:13:37You will never set foot in his office again

1:17:36 > 1:17:38Stay out of our business.
1:17:40 > 1:17:44Forgive me, Colonel, but you're hardly

1:18:41 > 1:18:43to your face or hands
1:18:43 > 1:18:44before going out that night?
1:18:44 > 1:18:46Shoe polish? Soot?

1:18:58 > 1:19:02SISK: Your honour, what is the relevance of this?
1:19:02 > 1:19:03To demonstrate to the court
1:19:03 > 1:19:05that whoever killed Vic Bedford was white.
1:19:06 > 1:19:08I'd like to ask the court's permission
1:19:08 > 1:19:09to conduct a demonstration, your honour.
1:19:09 > 1:19:11I'd also ask the trial judge advocate
1:19:11 > 1:19:13to rise, if he would.
1:19:13 > 1:19:15MCNAMARA: Proceed.
1:19:16 > 1:19:18Based on Bedford's wounds and the fact
1:19:18 > 1:19:21that nobody reported hearing him cry for help that night,
1:19:21 > 1:19:22we have to assume that he was either
1:19:22 > 1:19:23friendly with his assailant
1:19:23 > 1:19:25or that whoever killed him did so from behind -
1:19:25 > 1:19:27the positioning being something like this.
1:19:27 > 1:19:29Captain, if you wouldn't mind grabbing at me -
1:19:29 > 1:19:31at my face to get me to stop.
1:19:31 > 1:19:33Now, of course, the killer had the benefits
1:19:33 > 1:19:37of leverage and surprise, so the neck was snapped
1:19:37 > 1:19:41and Bedford fell, and the smudge went with him.
1:19:41 > 1:19:44It was also on his fingers. Captain?
1:19:47 > 1:19:48At this time, I would like the court
1:19:48 > 1:19:49to note the following for the record:
1:19:49 > 1:19:51whoever killed Vic Bedford
1:19:51 > 1:19:52had such a substance on his face
1:19:52 > 1:19:54on the night of the murder,
1:19:54 > 1:19:56which raises two questions.
1:19:56 > 1:19:59First, what call would Lincoln Scott have
1:19:59 > 1:20:00for darkening his face?
1:20:00 > 1:20:02To look more black?
1:20:02 > 1:20:05Second, if he had done so, when did he take it off?
1:20:05 > 1:20:06Your honour, you stood face to face with him
1:20:06 > 1:20:08immediately after his capture.
1:20:08 > 1:20:09His face was clean.
1:20:09 > 1:20:11I think it's fair to conclude
1:20:11 > 1:20:12that whoever killed Vic Bedford
1:20:12 > 1:20:13was not only white
1:20:13 > 1:20:15but was waiting behind this theatre
1:20:15 > 1:20:19face blackened to avoid detection by the guards.
1:20:19 > 1:20:21Nothing further, your honour.
1:20:21 > 1:20:23Lieutenant, you say that Sergeant Bedford
1:20:23 > 1:20:25sneaked out through a loose board
1:20:25 > 1:20:28beneath the barracks' stove.
1:20:29 > 1:20:30Is that right?
1:20:35 > 1:20:36Yes, sir.
1:20:36 > 1:20:38And you took that same route on the night in question
1:20:38 > 1:20:40after he'd gone out.
1:20:41 > 1:20:43Yes, I did, sir.
1:20:43 > 1:20:45What did you find down there, Lieutenant?
1:20:45 > 1:20:47SCOTT: Excuse me, sir?
1:20:47 > 1:20:49What was down there on the ground?
1:20:51 > 1:20:53Mud, right?
1:20:53 > 1:20:56You stated that it had been your intention
1:20:56 > 1:20:58to put the victim's face in the mud
1:20:58 > 1:20:59until he begged you to stop,
1:20:59 > 1:21:00so there was mud down there,
1:21:00 > 1:21:03isn't that right, Lieutenant?
1:21:03 > 1:21:04I suppose so.
1:21:04 > 1:21:07And a fair amount of soot from the stove itself.
1:21:07 > 1:21:10So it's possible that Sergeant Bedford,
1:21:10 > 1:21:12having descended through a hole lined with soot
1:21:12 > 1:21:13and then having crawled facedown
1:21:13 > 1:21:16beneath the barracks wet with mud,
1:21:16 > 1:21:19might have emerged with mud and soot on his face.
1:21:23 > 1:21:25Nothing further, your honour.
1:21:26 > 1:21:28Thank you, Captain Sisk.
1:21:28 > 1:21:30Will you step down, Lieutenant?
1:21:35 > 1:21:37Lieutenant Scott?
1:21:40 > 1:21:42You know how hard they tried
1:21:42 > 1:21:46to wash us out of flight school - the coloured flyers?
1:21:46 > 1:21:49Your testimony's been entered, Lieutenant.
1:21:49 > 1:21:50You can step down.
1:21:50 > 1:21:53It was test after test.
1:21:53 > 1:21:55I mean, anything they could come up with
1:21:55 > 1:21:58to turn us into the cooks or the drivers
1:21:58 > 1:21:59or the shit shovellers.
1:21:59 > 1:22:01Your honour, this is highly unnecessary.
1:22:01 > 1:22:02the witness has already...
1:22:02 > 1:22:04SCOTT: But I refused to wash out.
1:22:04 > 1:22:08So did Archer. I mean, come hell or high water.
1:22:08 > 1:22:09We hit the books.
1:22:09 > 1:22:11We were just determined
1:22:11 > 1:22:12that we were not going to spend the war
1:22:12 > 1:22:14being some niggers.
1:22:14 > 1:22:16That's enough, Lieutenant. You will take your seat.
1:22:16 > 1:22:18SCOTT: With all due respect, sir,
1:22:18 > 1:22:19I would like to exercise my right
1:22:19 > 1:22:21and address this court.
1:22:21 > 1:22:24Now, I've been sitting down ever since I got here.
1:22:25 > 1:22:27And you know, I should have stood up and said something
1:22:27 > 1:22:29the moment that you threw us in with the enlisted men
1:22:29 > 1:22:33instead of quartering us properly as officers.
1:22:39 > 1:22:41But it's OK.
1:22:41 > 1:22:44You see, coloured men expect to have to jump
1:22:44 > 1:22:46through a few hoops in this man's army.
1:22:46 > 1:22:49Archer knew that. We all did.
1:22:53 > 1:22:58There's a camp right outside of Macon, where I'm from,
1:22:58 > 1:23:04and there the army sends the German POWs.
1:23:04 > 1:23:06Puts them to work picking cotton.
1:23:09 > 1:23:11But what's strange is every once in a while
1:23:11 > 1:23:13we'd see them walking through town
1:23:13 > 1:23:17going to movies, eating in diners.
1:23:17 > 1:23:19But if I wanted to go to those same movies
1:23:19 > 1:23:21I had to sit way off in the balcony.
1:23:21 > 1:23:25And those diners were closed to me even in uniform.
1:23:25 > 1:23:29But German POWs were allowed to sit there and eat.
1:23:29 > 1:23:30And this must have happened
1:23:30 > 1:23:32to at least half the guys at Tuskegee.
1:23:32 > 1:23:35But the thing is we just kept telling ourselves
1:23:35 > 1:23:39that no matter what, as long as we did our jobs,
1:23:39 > 1:23:40it'd all be worth it,
1:23:40 > 1:23:44because hey, the war would end, we could go home
1:23:44 > 1:23:46and be free to walk down any street in America
1:23:46 > 1:23:50with our heads held high as men.
1:23:52 > 1:23:54So that's what we did.
1:23:54 > 1:23:56We did our jobs.
1:24:00 > 1:24:02We served our country, sir,
1:24:02 > 1:24:05Archer and I.
1:24:05 > 1:24:08And what you let happen to him...
1:24:08 > 1:24:11What you allowed to happen to him...
1:24:13 > 1:24:15was appalling.
1:24:19 > 1:24:21And so is this.
1:24:38 > 1:24:39DOOR OPENS
1:24:42 > 1:24:44At ease, Lieutenant.
1:24:52 > 1:24:53How are they treating you?
1:24:55 > 1:24:57No worse than the men in my barracks, sir.
1:25:01 > 1:25:03I can probably find you another blanket.
1:25:03 > 1:25:04No. I'm fine.
1:25:20 > 1:25:22Night.
1:26:44 > 1:26:45GAVEL BANGING
1:26:45 > 1:26:47New order, gentlemen.
1:26:47 > 1:26:50Before you proceed, your honour, the defence hasn't rested yet.
1:26:50 > 1:26:51Still like to call one last witness.
1:26:54 > 1:26:57Defence calls Oberst Werner Visser.
1:27:01 > 1:27:02This some kind of joke, Lieutenant?
1:27:02 > 1:27:05He's material to our case, sir.
1:27:05 > 1:27:07Unless, of course, the Colonel refuses to testify.
1:27:10 > 1:27:11He does not.
1:27:18 > 1:27:19Colonel, could you tell us
1:27:19 > 1:27:22the nature of your relationship with Vic Bedford?
1:27:22 > 1:27:24I'll be happy to. I didn't have one.
1:27:24 > 1:27:27And what about your guards, Colonel?
1:27:27 > 1:27:28Major Fussel, for instance?
1:27:29 > 1:27:31Were you aware of his dealings with Vic Bedford
1:27:31 > 1:27:33at night after lockdown?
1:27:35 > 1:27:37That would be impossible in this camp, Lieutenant.
1:27:37 > 1:27:38Policy forbids.
1:27:40 > 1:27:41Do you remember the conversation we had
1:27:41 > 1:27:43in the camp morgue four days ago?
1:27:44 > 1:27:45Vaguely.
1:27:45 > 1:27:48I asked you if you knew Vic Bedford
1:27:48 > 1:27:49and you said,
1:27:49 > 1:27:52"No, but my guards certainly seem to."
1:27:52 > 1:27:53Perhaps.
1:27:53 > 1:27:54So, in your words,
1:27:54 > 1:27:56no guard ever traded with Vic Bedford,
1:27:56 > 1:28:00and yet he was able to acquire winter boots,
1:28:00 > 1:28:01thick socks, fresh milk,
1:28:01 > 1:28:03and parts for a hidden radio.
1:28:03 > 1:28:05isn't that a fact?
1:28:05 > 1:28:07Lieutenant, I'm sitting here
1:28:07 > 1:28:10as a gesture of military courtesy.
1:28:10 > 1:28:13If it is your intention to paint me as a liar...
1:28:13 > 1:28:15No, Colonel.
1:28:15 > 1:28:16It is my intention to establish
1:28:16 > 1:28:18that Vic Bedford built up enough of a rapport
1:28:18 > 1:28:21with your Majors Wirtz and Fussel
1:28:21 > 1:28:24to engage in the framing of Lamar Archer,
1:28:24 > 1:28:25conspiring with them in the tent spike incident,
1:28:25 > 1:28:28which resulted in Archer's death.
1:28:28 > 1:28:31Lieutenant Archer was shot while attempting escape.
1:28:31 > 1:28:32No, Colonel.
1:28:32 > 1:28:34Lieutenant archer was executed
1:28:34 > 1:28:36in return for information.
1:28:38 > 1:28:39Archer dies.
1:28:39 > 1:28:40Five minutes later,
1:28:40 > 1:28:44Colonel Visser and Major Wirtz enter barracks 22
1:28:44 > 1:28:45and destroy a hidden radio
1:28:45 > 1:28:48that they had been trying to locate for months.
1:28:56 > 1:28:57Can you tell the court anything
1:28:57 > 1:28:59about these items, sir?
1:28:59 > 1:29:02Identification papers, some currency.
1:29:02 > 1:29:03What of them?
1:29:03 > 1:29:06Perfect German-made ID papers and Reichsmarks.
1:29:08 > 1:29:09Two thousand of them.
1:29:12 > 1:29:15More than enough cash to make it through the country.
1:29:15 > 1:29:17Vic Bedford kept those in a stash beside his bunk.
1:29:17 > 1:29:18Again, can you tell the court the nature
1:29:18 > 1:29:20of your relationship with Vic Bedford?
1:29:20 > 1:29:22I did not have one, Lieutenant.
1:29:22 > 1:29:23Do you have any idea
1:29:23 > 1:29:25how he may have gotten these items, sir?
1:29:26 > 1:29:27If they didn't come from you,
1:29:27 > 1:29:29and if he never had any dealings with your guards,
1:29:29 > 1:29:31the fact is, Colonel,
1:29:31 > 1:29:33Vic Bedford traded with you and your men regularly.
1:29:33 > 1:29:34Objection, your honour!
1:29:34 > 1:29:35As soon as he came up dry on you,
1:29:35 > 1:29:36you ordered his murder.
1:29:36 > 1:29:38Isn't that right, Colonel?
1:29:38 > 1:29:39Lieutenant Hart.
1:29:40 > 1:29:43I thought you tried marvellously
1:29:43 > 1:29:45to establish that the killer had blackened
1:29:45 > 1:29:47his face with soot.
1:29:47 > 1:29:50Now, if any of my guards,
1:29:50 > 1:29:53or even I wanted to kill one of my prisoners -
1:29:53 > 1:29:55Vic Bedford in this case -
1:29:55 > 1:29:59we would hardly need to blacken our faces to do it.
1:30:00 > 1:30:01Would we?
1:32:38 > 1:32:40Move. In the corner, Webb.
1:33:24 > 1:33:25Captain.
1:33:37 > 1:33:39You see?
1:33:40 > 1:33:42German uniforms, explosives.
1:33:43 > 1:33:46Yes, Captain, I see.
1:33:46 > 1:33:48The trial's got nothing to do with Lincoln Scott, does it?
1:33:49 > 1:33:50No.
1:33:50 > 1:33:52It's the way it had to go.
1:33:54 > 1:33:55We're out of time, Hart.
1:33:56 > 1:33:57We lose this theatre tomorrow.
1:33:57 > 1:34:00Uh-huh, and I'm supposed to keep Visser and his men distracted
1:34:00 > 1:34:02while half the camp goes out.
1:34:02 > 1:34:03Is that it, Captain?
1:34:08 > 1:34:09I'm asking the wrong fucking guy.
1:34:26 > 1:34:27I've just seen the tunnel, Colonel.
1:34:33 > 1:34:34In here, Lieutenant.
1:34:52 > 1:34:54Everything in this place is a lie.
1:34:54 > 1:34:55Everything.
1:35:02 > 1:35:04Oh, Jesus Christ.
1:35:06 > 1:35:08First he told the Germans about the radio.
1:35:10 > 1:35:11It was only a matter of time
1:35:11 > 1:35:13before he told them about the tunnel.
1:35:16 > 1:35:18You killed Bedford.
1:35:21 > 1:35:23That's right.
1:35:30 > 1:35:32If you fuck with this operation in any way,
1:35:32 > 1:35:33I'll kill you, too.
1:35:38 > 1:35:39You will sit in that courtroom
1:35:39 > 1:35:42as Captain Sisk drags out these proceedings.
1:35:43 > 1:35:46Make whatever summation you like, but that's it.
1:35:48 > 1:35:49When that board breaks to deliberate,
1:35:49 > 1:35:5135 men go under the wire.
1:35:51 > 1:35:52And Lincoln Scott will be dead.
1:35:52 > 1:35:54That's war, Lieutenant.
1:35:54 > 1:35:55The war's at the front, Colonel.
1:35:55 > 1:35:57We're not even in it anymore.
1:35:57 > 1:35:58Speak for yourself!
1:35:58 > 1:36:00You know those Russians
1:36:00 > 1:36:02they march in and out of here every day?
1:36:02 > 1:36:03You know where they go?
1:36:03 > 1:36:04Munitions plant.
1:36:04 > 1:36:06The army thinks it's a goddamn shoe factory.
1:36:11 > 1:36:12Look.
1:36:13 > 1:36:16I don't want to see Scott dead any more than you do.
1:36:16 > 1:36:17But if one man has to be sacrificed
1:36:17 > 1:36:19to take out that target,
1:36:19 > 1:36:21then that's the way it has to be.
1:36:21 > 1:36:22I agree completely, sir.
1:36:22 > 1:36:23Good.
1:36:25 > 1:36:27But I think that one man should be you.
1:36:28 > 1:36:30And don't worry. I'll play my part.
1:36:30 > 1:36:31But at the end of the trial,
1:36:31 > 1:36:34you're going to tap your little gavel.
1:36:34 > 1:36:35You're going to stand up
1:36:35 > 1:36:36and you're going to confess to the murder.
1:36:36 > 1:36:38Your duty demands that.
1:36:38 > 1:36:39Fuck you, Hart.
1:36:39 > 1:36:41What the fuck would you know about duty?
1:36:44 > 1:36:45I'll see you in court, sir.
1:37:03 > 1:37:04MAN YELLING COMMANDS
1:37:06 > 1:37:08I got a better question.
1:37:08 > 1:37:09What was in that goddamn soup last night?
1:37:09 > 1:37:11I got 20 men with food poisoning.
1:37:11 > 1:37:13Nicht mein problem.
1:37:23 > 1:37:25Colonel? Whoa! Colonel!
1:37:27 > 1:37:28You're in no shape for the trial, sir.
1:37:28 > 1:37:31I'm fine. Really, I'm fine.
1:37:32 > 1:37:34Let me go.
1:37:34 > 1:37:36We'll convene as scheduled after the Appell.
1:37:37 > 1:37:38Square 'em up.
1:37:40 > 1:37:43Prisoners, attention!
1:37:47 > 1:37:48Come to order, gentlemen.
1:37:48 > 1:37:49Captain Sisk.
1:37:51 > 1:37:54Is the prosecution ready to present its summation?
1:37:54 > 1:37:56We are, your honour.
1:37:56 > 1:37:57Very well.
1:38:08 > 1:38:09I'm sorry, gentlemen.
1:38:09 > 1:38:12The court needs a five-minute recess before summations.
1:38:14 > 1:38:15Colonel. Colonel!
1:38:15 > 1:38:17Colonel? Colonel!
1:38:17 > 1:38:19Let's get him back to the barracks.
1:38:19 > 1:38:21Get his coat.
1:38:21 > 1:38:22Get some rest, sir.
1:38:22 > 1:38:25All right, come on. Get back to the barracks.
1:38:25 > 1:38:27We need an extension, Colonel - he's very ill.
1:38:28 > 1:38:30The agreement was the end of the week.
1:38:30 > 1:38:31It's a matter of courtesy, Colonel.
1:38:31 > 1:38:33The agreement was today!
1:38:38 > 1:38:39I need to talk to you.
1:38:54 > 1:38:56Are you any good at poker, Lincoln?
1:38:58 > 1:39:01There's an escape going to take place later on this afternoon.
1:39:02 > 1:39:04Escape? How's that?
1:39:05 > 1:39:08Down a tunnel through that burned theatre wing...
1:39:10 > 1:39:12while the jury's in deliberations.
1:39:15 > 1:39:16So what you mean?
1:39:16 > 1:39:17This whole thing's been a joke?
1:39:17 > 1:39:18Yes.
1:39:19 > 1:39:22But Archer and Bedford are dead for real.
1:39:22 > 1:39:25Is that part of this big joke, too?
1:39:25 > 1:39:27Look, we haven't got time now.
1:39:27 > 1:39:29During deliberations, you're going out under the wire
1:39:29 > 1:39:32with 35 other men.
1:39:32 > 1:39:33Is McNamara, too?
1:39:35 > 1:39:37Yeah, McNamara, too.
1:39:41 > 1:39:44It's funny. I was just writing my son,
1:39:44 > 1:39:47and in the letter I was trying to explain to him
1:39:47 > 1:39:50what the word honour means.
1:39:51 > 1:39:53It would be a hell of a thing, wouldn't it,
1:39:53 > 1:39:57to find out that your father helped 35 men
1:39:57 > 1:39:59escape from a place like this, wouldn't it?
1:39:59 > 1:40:01You're going out, too, Lincoln, you got that?
1:40:03 > 1:40:05I can't do that, Tommy.
1:40:06 > 1:40:08Suppose the board comes back
1:40:08 > 1:40:10and there's nobody sitting
1:40:10 > 1:40:12in the defendant's chair anymore?
1:40:12 > 1:40:13It doesn't matter. You'll already be out.
1:40:13 > 1:40:15Then the search begins,
1:40:15 > 1:40:18and all those men, they won't have a chance.
1:40:18 > 1:40:20Lincoln, if you stay, you'll be convicted.
1:40:20 > 1:40:25If I stay, those men are gonna have a chance.
1:40:25 > 1:40:26And you'll be executed.
1:40:31 > 1:40:33Lincoln, listen to me, please.
1:40:33 > 1:40:35Everything's fine, Tommy.
1:40:35 > 1:40:37Everything's really OK...
1:40:40 > 1:40:43Just as long as he knows what happened here.
1:40:45 > 1:40:47As long as there's somebody to tell him.
1:40:53 > 1:40:56How far could I get anyway? A coloured man
1:40:56 > 1:40:59running through the German countryside?
1:40:59 > 1:41:01It'd be target practice.
1:41:26 > 1:41:28HART: It started with a noble idea.
1:41:30 > 1:41:32Letting coloured men join the fight.
1:41:33 > 1:41:36But no-one in the Air Corps ever considered what might happen
1:41:36 > 1:41:39if one of those Tuskegee men ever got shot down.
1:41:40 > 1:41:42No-one ever asked what would happen
1:41:42 > 1:41:45if a coloured officer was suddenly captured
1:41:45 > 1:41:47and sent to a Stalag like this one.
1:41:48 > 1:41:51But Lincoln Scott was shot down,
1:41:51 > 1:41:53and he was sent to a Stalag
1:41:53 > 1:41:54and once here,
1:41:54 > 1:41:56he wasn't just thrown in
1:41:56 > 1:41:57amongst white enlisted men,
1:41:57 > 1:41:59he was quartered with them.
1:41:59 > 1:42:01Men like Staff Sergeant Vic Bedford.
1:42:01 > 1:42:03Bedford, the real Bedford,
1:42:03 > 1:42:05was a man unknown to us.
1:42:05 > 1:42:08Hateful, vengeful,
1:42:08 > 1:42:10with a bigotry that ran bone-deep.
1:42:12 > 1:42:14A man who simply couldn't stomach the thought
1:42:14 > 1:42:18of sharing a roof with coloured officers.
1:42:18 > 1:42:20So he badgered Scott, baited him,
1:42:20 > 1:42:23even refused to respect Scott's rank...
1:42:23 > 1:42:27Then conspired to kill the only friend Scott had in this camp.
1:42:27 > 1:42:29That's why Scott followed Bedford out
1:42:29 > 1:42:31the night in question,
1:42:31 > 1:42:35crept up behind him and snapped his neck.
1:42:36 > 1:42:38Members of the board, we take no pleasure
1:42:38 > 1:42:39in prosecuting Lieutenant Scott,
1:42:39 > 1:42:41but a capital charge requires
1:42:41 > 1:42:45that we put aside our passions and sympathies,
1:42:45 > 1:42:48wedding ourselves solely to the truth.
1:42:48 > 1:42:50It is this.
1:42:50 > 1:42:52Lieutenant Scott was positively
1:42:52 > 1:42:54and unimpeachably identified at the scene of the crime.
1:42:54 > 1:42:57He had motive, he had opportunity,
1:42:57 > 1:42:59and he had an animus for the victim
1:42:59 > 1:43:02which was confirmed even by his own testimony.
1:43:04 > 1:43:06Lincoln Scott is an officer,
1:43:06 > 1:43:09he is a soldier,
1:43:09 > 1:43:10but he is also a murderer.
1:43:36 > 1:43:37HART: There's a tenet
1:43:37 > 1:43:39that was drummed into all of us
1:43:39 > 1:43:41from our first day in Basic:
1:43:42 > 1:43:44Sometimes one man must be sacrificed
1:43:44 > 1:43:46for the good of the men around him.
1:43:46 > 1:43:49Someone has to be first to hit the beach
1:43:49 > 1:43:51or to jump on a grenade
1:43:51 > 1:43:53or to draw enemy fire
1:43:53 > 1:43:56so coordinates can be drawn for mortar teams.
1:43:56 > 1:43:59I think Bedford learned that tenet, too,
1:43:59 > 1:44:00except Vic got it backwards.
1:44:00 > 1:44:03Vic thought that sometimes a few hundred
1:44:03 > 1:44:05must be sacrificed for the good of one...
1:44:06 > 1:44:07Him.
1:44:07 > 1:44:11For Vic the watchword was expediency.
1:44:11 > 1:44:12One day he'd trade with our captors
1:44:12 > 1:44:15to get hard-to-find parts for a radio,
1:44:15 > 1:44:16earning him the loyalty
1:44:16 > 1:44:18of our commanding officer and his staff.
1:44:18 > 1:44:20Then Vic would tell the Germans
1:44:20 > 1:44:21where to find that radio...
1:44:21 > 1:44:22Go.
1:44:22 > 1:44:24In exchange for the murder of Lamar Archer.
1:44:26 > 1:44:30The army has its share of cowards...
1:44:30 > 1:44:32and Vic Bedford was one of them.
1:44:32 > 1:44:34It also has heroes,
1:44:34 > 1:44:36soldiers like Lincoln Scott.
1:44:36 > 1:44:38Lincoln Scott, who wanted nothing more
1:44:38 > 1:44:39than to serve his country.
1:44:39 > 1:44:40And serve he did.
1:44:40 > 1:44:42nine downed German fighters,
1:44:42 > 1:44:4430 missions,
1:44:44 > 1:44:45until one of those missions landed him here,
1:44:45 > 1:44:48Stalag 6a,
1:44:48 > 1:44:50where Vic Bedford and the sad sacks
1:44:50 > 1:44:52Bedford called friends were lying in wait.
1:44:52 > 1:44:56Scott was a target from the second he got here.
1:44:56 > 1:44:59He suffered insults, threats,
1:44:59 > 1:45:00but he did not retaliate.
1:45:00 > 1:45:04He did not kill Vic Bedford.
1:45:04 > 1:45:06No.
1:45:07 > 1:45:08Someone beat him to it.
1:45:11 > 1:45:13It could've been any number of people...
1:45:13 > 1:45:17the guard who thought that Bedford had cheated him,
1:45:17 > 1:45:19a fellow Kriegie who discovered Bedford's treachery,
1:45:19 > 1:45:21even one of our ranking officers
1:45:21 > 1:45:23as punishment for ratting out that radio.
1:45:23 > 1:45:25So this, then, is our victim?
1:45:25 > 1:45:26A bigot.
1:45:26 > 1:45:28A traitor.
1:45:28 > 1:45:30A rat.
1:45:30 > 1:45:32Enemy of every Kriegie in camp.
1:45:34 > 1:45:35The question is,
1:45:35 > 1:45:37who hated him enough to kill him?
1:45:42 > 1:45:43WHISPERING: Colonel.
1:45:50 > 1:45:52I did.
1:45:56 > 1:45:57ROSS: Wait a minute,
1:45:57 > 1:45:58what are you saying, Lieutenant?
1:45:58 > 1:46:00I killed Vic Bedford, sir.

1:46:17 > 1:46:18SISK: Colonel, this man has rights.
1:46:18 > 1:46:19Not anymore.
1:46:19 > 1:46:21This court still has to deliberate the matter.
1:46:21 > 1:46:22I am the court now!
1:46:22 > 1:46:24Now. Get him up. Get him up. Get him up.
