00:00:34,993 Steve, I would                       rather be prosecuting                than defending you. 6 00:00:35,035 --> 00:00:37,787 Why?                                 Because I think                      you're guilty as hell. 7 00:00:37,829 --> 00:00:40,040 Well, maybe I should                get another lawyer then. 8 00:00:40,081 --> 00:00:43,209 Well, I'm not

00:03:11,107 --> 00:03:14,485 Well, the   Caine                     is designed to detect               and neutralize sea-based mines. 56 00:03:14,527 --> 00:03:16,070 We conduct                           minesweeping operations 57 00:03:16,112 --> 00:03:18,198 as directed anywhere                in the Persian Gulf, 58 00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:20,450 with an emphasis                     on the Straits of Hormuz. 59 00:03:20,491 --> 00:03:24,370 Commander,                           on December 18th, 2022, 60 00:03:24,412 --> 00:03:26,873 were you relieved of command        of the

00:03:35,882 [prosecutor] Was this                a standard watch change? 65 00:03:35,924 --> 00:03:38,843 No, it was                           totally irregular. 66 00:03:38,885 --> 00:03:40,720 How would you                        describe it?                         [scoffs] 67 00:03:40,762 --> 00:03:46,017 Well, the most charitable            description would be                 that it was an incident, 68 00:03:46,059 --> 00:03:48,394 a regrettable incident               of the temporary 69 00:03:48,436 --> 00:03:50,980 and total collapse                   of military discipline. 70 00:03:51,022 --> 00:03:55,151 Commander, please relate             all the facts that bear              on this unauthorized relief. 71 00:03:56,277 --> 00:03:58,321 Okay, well, 72 00:03:58,363 --> 00:04:01,741 the   Caine   sortied from Bahrain      on December 16th. 73 00:04:01,783 --> 00:04:05,453 Our mission was to sweep            for mines from the Persian Gulf     through the Straits of Hormuz. 74 00:04:05,495 --> 00:04:09,290 When a cyclone came along           the operation was canceled, 75 00:04:09,332 --> 00:04:11,626 and the boat                        started to maneuver                 to evade the storm. 76 00:04:11,668 --> 00:04:13,878 The storm                           was traveling due west. 77 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,714 [prosecutor]                         What was the date and time           of that course change? 78 00:04:16,755 --> 00:04:20,051 Well, that would be                 early morning                       of the 18th, ma'am. 79 00:04:20,093 --> 00:04:22,762 And as I say, the storm was         pretty bad at that point. 80 00:04:22,804 --> 00:04:24,806 Visibility was almost zero. 81 00:04:24,847 --> 00:04:28,184 Couldn't see                        any of the other ships              in the detachment. 82 00:04:28,226 --> 00:04:31,145 We were sailing blind through       the rain and the spray, 83 00:04:31,187 --> 00:04:32,981 and with the wind                   and the sea and all, 84 00:04:33,022 --> 00:04:35,108 we had to maneuver                  using engines and rudders 85 00:04:35,149 --> 00:04:37,110 to hold the evasion course          that had been ordered. 86 00:04:37,151 --> 00:04:39,445 But w-we were doing fine. 87 00:04:39,487 --> 00:04:43,116 My executive officer, however,      pretty early in the game, 88 00:04:43,157 --> 00:04:46,119 began to show                       unusual symptoms                    of nervousness. 89 00:04:46,159 --> 00:04:48,079 What were                            these symptoms? 90 00:04:48,121 --> 00:04:50,248 Well, for example, he started       talking pretty early-- 91 00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:53,960 Couldn't have been more             than half an hour after             the ship started running south-- 92 00:04:54,002 --> 00:04:57,463 that we needed                      to operate independently            and come around to the north. 93 00:04:57,505 --> 00:04:59,549 Why did he want                      to do that? 94 00:04:59,590 --> 00:05:01,676 Well, to give you the picture,      the cyclone was coming at us        from the east. 95 00:05:01,718 --> 00:05:03,303 We were on                           the western edge of it, 96 00:05:03,344 --> 00:05:06,264 which means where we were,          the wind was from due north. 97 00:05:06,306 --> 00:05:10,768 Now, the   Commodore,   of course,      was running south with the wind     to get out of the storm's path, 98 00:05:10,810 --> 00:05:14,105 which was in accordance with        all existing storm doctrine. 99 00:05:14,147 --> 00:05:18,401 My exec, however,                   insisted that our ship              was on the verge of foundering 100 00:05:18,443 --> 00:05:20,403 and that we had better              turn into the wind, 101 00:05:20,445 --> 00:05:23,406 wh-which was the north,             if we were to survive. 102 00:05:23,448 --> 00:05:27,118 Now... [chuckles]                   ...of course, we weren't            in that bad of shape. 103 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,203 And that's what                     I mean by nervousness. 104 00:05:29,245 --> 00:05:31,122 What was your objection              to coming north, 105 00:05:31,164 --> 00:05:33,082 as your executive officer            suggested? 106 00:05:33,124 --> 00:05:35,668 Well, everything was wrong          with that idea                      that could be wrong with it. 107 00:05:35,710 --> 00:05:39,881 I mean, in the first place,         my orders were to proceed south. 108 00:05:39,922 --> 00:05:42,425 My ship wasn't in danger.            It-- 109 00:05:42,467 --> 00:05:44,761 It was functioning normally. 110 00:05:44,802 --> 00:05:48,598 Uh, to drop out of station           and act independently                under those circumstances 111 00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:50,141 is out of the question. 112 00:05:50,183 --> 00:05:52,018 And to come around north 113 00:05:52,060 --> 00:05:54,354 would be to head                     the ship directly into               the heart of the cyclone. 114 00:05:54,395 --> 00:05:59,317 It was a senseless suggestion       and, under the circumstances,       almost suicidal. 115 00:05:59,359 --> 00:06:02,070 I have since checked                 all of my decisions                  of December 18th 116 00:06:02,111 --> 00:06:04,072 with the finest                      ship handlers I know, 117 00:06:04,113 --> 00:06:06,115 ranking all the way up               to rear admiral, 118 00:06:06,157 --> 00:06:10,536 and unanimously they agree           that the only course                 in that situation was south. 119 00:06:11,662 --> 00:06:14,916 [prosecutor]                        Commander, your last remark         was hearsay. 120 00:06:14,957 --> 00:06:16,459 Oh, I'm-- I'm sorry. 121 00:06:16,501 --> 00:06:18,669 I'm not up                           on these legal distinctions 122 00:06:18,711 --> 00:06:20,254 as well as I should be,              I guess. 123 00:06:20,296 --> 00:06:22,757 [prosecutor]                        It's perfectly all right. 124 00:06:22,799 --> 00:06:25,885 Will defense counsel move           to strike out the part of           the testimony which was hearsay? 125 00:06:25,927 --> 00:06:27,095 All right, so move. 126 00:06:27,136 --> 00:06:28,971 [prosecutor]                        Please continue. 127 00:06:29,013 --> 00:06:32,892 Well, i-it's just that Maryk's      insistence on us coming around 128 00:06:32,933 --> 00:06:36,771 became more and more strident       as the weather deteriorated. 129 00:06:36,813 --> 00:06:38,898 I finally became                     concerned about him 130 00:06:38,940 --> 00:06:41,025 when suddenly                        he moved towards me 131 00:06:41,067 --> 00:06:44,529 and out of the blue said            I was on the sick list              and that he was relieving me. 132 00:06:44,570 --> 00:06:47,657 I-I-- To be honest,                  I couldn't believe my ears. 133 00:06:47,698 --> 00:06:49,742 Took me a moment                     to catch on. 134 00:06:49,784 --> 00:06:52,495 It wasn't until                      he started shouting orders           at the officer of the deck 135 00:06:52,537 --> 00:06:55,415 and started countermanding           my instructions 136 00:06:55,456 --> 00:06:59,752 that I-I did begin to                realize what was going on. 137 00:06:59,794 --> 00:07:01,504 Commander,                          can you recall anything 138 00:07:01,546 --> 00:07:04,549 that could have provoked            your executive officer's act? 139 00:07:04,590 --> 00:07:06,509 Truthfully, no. 140 00:07:06,551 --> 00:07:09,429 I don't think                        my bearing or manner                 had anything to do with it. 141 00:07:09,470 --> 00:07:13,182 Look... it was                       a pretty scary situation            in that wheelhouse. 142 00:07:13,224 --> 00:07:16,185 Winds were force ten to 12,          screeching and all, 143 00:07:16,227 --> 00:07:18,396 and the waves                        were mountainous. 144 00:07:18,438 --> 00:07:21,524 The barometer had dropped            about as low as it's ever            been in US Navy history, 145 00:07:21,566 --> 00:07:24,026 and we took                          a very bad roll. 146 00:07:24,068 --> 00:07:25,820 And I mean a very bad one. 147 00:07:25,862 --> 00:07:28,030 I've done a lot                      of North Atlantic                    rolling too. 148 00:07:28,072 --> 00:07:30,032 I just think that Maryk              simply went into a panic. 149 00:07:30,074 --> 00:07:31,742 [prosecutor]                        Mmm. 150 00:07:31,784 --> 00:07:34,537 Was the   Caine                        in grave danger                      at that time? 151 00:07:34,579 --> 00:07:37,874 Well, I-I wouldn't say that,        no, ma'am. 152 00:07:37,915 --> 00:07:41,252 I-I thought                         we righted ourselves very nicely   out of that bad roll. 153 00:07:41,294 --> 00:07:45,715 He repeatedly tried to              order me off the bridge,            but I stayed right where I was 154 00:07:45,756 --> 00:07:49,260 and gave him orders                  only as I thought necessary          for the safety of the ship. 155 00:07:49,302 --> 00:07:52,972 I-In the situation,                 I thought that the chief hazard 156 00:07:53,014 --> 00:07:55,975 would be any further                 act of frenzy on his part. 157 00:07:56,017 --> 00:07:59,979 And to the extent that               the   Caine   did come through           that storm safely, 158 00:08:00,021 --> 00:08:04,942 despite the unprecedented...        [chuckles] ...running amok           of my executive officer, 159 00:08:04,984 --> 00:08:09,489 I believe that my handling           of the emergency                     was the correct one. 160 00:08:09,530 --> 00:08:12,658 Did Maryk cite                       any authority at all                 when he relieved you? 161 00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:15,036 Oh, he mumbled something            about our Article 1108. 162 00:08:15,077 --> 00:08:17,079 I didn't even catch it              at the time. 163 00:08:17,121 --> 00:08:20,291 It wasn't till later                that he said his authority 164 00:08:20,332 --> 00:08:23,753 was Article 1108                     of Navy Regulations. 165 00:08:23,794 --> 00:08:26,881 And were you familiar               with these articles?                                 Certainly. 166 00:08:26,923 --> 00:08:29,967 In substance,                       what do they provide? 167 00:08:30,009 --> 00:08:33,136 Well, it's my understanding         that they make it possible 168 00:08:33,179 --> 00:08:38,726 for the executive officer           to relieve the captain              i-in an emergency, 169 00:08:38,768 --> 00:08:41,938 a highly unusual emergency          where-- where the captain is... 170 00:08:41,979 --> 00:08:43,898 [chuckles] 171 00:08:43,940 --> 00:08:48,319 Well, frankly,                       where the captain                    is absolutely unhinged. 172 00:08:48,361 --> 00:08:51,113 Were these articles                  properly invoked                     in your situation? 173 00:08:51,155 --> 00:08:54,325 Well, I'm sort of                   an interested party here. 174 00:08:54,367 --> 00:08:56,577 But you don't have                  to take my word for it. 175 00:08:56,619 --> 00:08:59,413 I was successfully                   conning my ship                      through that cyclone, 176 00:08:59,455 --> 00:09:02,208 and fortunately for me,             I have 130 witnesses                of that fact. 177 00:09:02,250 --> 00:09:04,126 Everybody aboard that ship. 178 00:09:04,168 --> 00:09:06,879 Uh, Commander, sorry,                there again, sir, 179 00:09:06,921 --> 00:09:09,131 you're testifying                    to the conclusions                   of others. 180 00:09:09,173 --> 00:09:11,634 Well, obviously I'm not             a legal expert. Sorry. 181 00:09:11,676 --> 00:09:14,929 Strike the witness's                 last sentence                        from the record. 182 00:09:14,971 --> 00:09:17,223 Have you ever been                   mentally ill, sir? 183 00:09:17,598 --> 00:09:19,225 No. 184 00:09:19,267 --> 00:09:21,811 Were you ill in any way              when Mr. Maryk relieved you? 185 00:09:21,852 --> 00:09:23,771 I was not. 186 00:09:23,813 --> 00:09:25,565 Did you warn your                   executive officer of                the consequences of his act? 187 00:09:25,606 --> 00:09:27,984 I told him he was performing        a mutinous act. 188 00:09:28,025 --> 00:09:29,944 [prosecutor]                        And what was his reply? 189 00:09:29,986 --> 00:09:31,988 He expected to be                    court-martialed. 190 00:09:32,029 --> 00:09:34,490 He was going                         to retain command anyway. 191 00:09:36,075 --> 00:09:38,953 What was the attitude of            Lieutenant Junior Grade Keith,      the officer of the deck? 192 00:09:38,995 --> 00:09:42,290 Keith was in                         a state of panic                     as bad as Maryk's. 193 00:09:42,331 --> 00:09:43,874 [prosecutor]                        What was the attitude               of the helmsman? 194 00:09:43,915 --> 00:09:46,377 Stilwell                             was emotionally unbalanced           and for some reason 195 00:09:46,419 --> 00:09:48,963 very devoted to Mr. Keith. 196 00:09:49,005 --> 00:09:50,923 They both backed Maryk. 197 00:09:50,965 --> 00:09:53,634 Is there anything else,              Commander Queeg,                     that you would care to state 198 00:09:53,676 --> 00:09:56,762 in connection with the events       of December 18th                    aboard the   Caine? 199 00:09:56,804 --> 00:09:58,764 [exhales] Well, I just... 200 00:09:59,974 --> 00:10:02,435 I've thought a lot about             all of this, obviously. 201 00:10:02,476 --> 00:10:05,187 It's the gravest occurrence          in my career. 202 00:10:05,229 --> 00:10:08,274 The only questionable one            I-I'm aware of. 203 00:10:10,651 --> 00:10:13,029 I-I just think that                  if the officer of the deck 204 00:10:13,070 --> 00:10:16,198 had been anyone                      other than this                      immature Mr. Keith 205 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,409 and the helmsman                     anyone other than Stilwell, 206 00:10:18,451 --> 00:10:20,286 then none of this                    would have happened. 207 00:10:20,328 --> 00:10:25,458 I mean, a competent officer          would have repudiated                Maryk's orders 208 00:10:25,499 --> 00:10:28,085 and a normal sailor                  at the helm 209 00:10:28,127 --> 00:10:31,881 would have disregarded               both of those officers               and obeyed me. 210 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,302 It was just bad luck                 that these three men, 211 00:10:36,344 --> 00:10:38,888 Maryk, Keith                         and Stilwell, 212 00:10:38,929 --> 00:10:42,016 combined against me                  at such a crucial time. 213 00:10:43,184 --> 00:10:44,769 Bad luck for me 214 00:10:44,810 --> 00:10:47,146 and I'm afraid                       even worse luck for them. 215 00:10:47,188 --> 00:10:49,815 [officer] The court                  would like to                        question the witness. 216 00:10:51,192 --> 00:10:53,152 Commander Queeg, 217 00:10:53,194 --> 00:10:56,822 you've taken                         all the prescribed physical          and mental examinations 218 00:10:56,864 --> 00:10:59,617 incident to entrance to              the academy, graduation, 219 00:10:59,659 --> 00:11:01,410 commissioning, promotion            and so forth? 220 00:11:01,452 --> 00:11:04,163 Yes, sir, for 21 years. 221 00:11:04,205 --> 00:11:08,167 Does your medical record            contain any history of illness,     mental or physical? 222 00:11:08,209 --> 00:11:10,127 No, sir, it does not. 223 00:11:10,169 --> 00:11:13,214 Have you ever had                    an unsatisfactory fitness            report, Commander Queeg? 224 00:11:13,255 --> 00:11:15,675 Negative, sir. 225 00:11:15,716 --> 00:11:19,845 Commander, can you account for      Lieutenant Maryk's opinion          that you were mentally ill? 226 00:11:19,887 --> 00:11:22,098 [chuckles]                           All I can say, sir, 227 00:11:22,139 --> 00:11:27,186 is that I assumed command           over an extremely...                disorganized and dirty ship, 228 00:11:27,228 --> 00:11:32,108 and that's not a reflection         on the officer that I relieved. 229 00:11:32,149 --> 00:11:34,527 The   Caine   had gone through           a year and a half                    of arduous duty 230 00:11:34,568 --> 00:11:36,779 a-and it was understandable. 231 00:11:36,821 --> 00:11:42,785 But still, for the safety            of that ship and its crew,           it demanded to be shaped up, 232 00:11:42,827 --> 00:11:44,995 and I took a lot                     of strong measures, 233 00:11:45,037 --> 00:11:48,708 a-and Lieutenant Maryk               did not see eye to eye               with me at all 234 00:11:48,749 --> 00:11:52,461 on this idea                         of making the   Caine                  a tight ship again. 235 00:11:54,463 --> 00:11:57,550 [chuckles]                           Well, maybe-- 236 00:11:57,591 --> 00:12:00,803 maybe he thought I was crazy        to keep trying. 237 00:12:00,845 --> 00:12:05,349 Anyway, that's                       the picture of it, sir. 238 00:12:05,391 --> 00:12:08,144 [officer] Thank you.                [prosecutor]                         Your witness. 239 00:12:08,185 --> 00:12:10,896 Commander Queeg,                    I would like to ask you 240 00:12:10,938 --> 00:12:14,734 whether you have                    ever heard the expression           "Old Yellowstain." 241 00:12:16,444 --> 00:12:18,863 In which connection? 242 00:12:18,904 --> 00:12:20,573 Old Yellowstain, sir. 243 00:12:22,908 --> 00:12:24,660 No, I have not. 244 00:12:24,702 --> 00:12:27,580 You weren't aware                   that all the officers               of the   Caine 245 00:12:27,621 --> 00:12:30,332 habitually referred to you          as Old Yellowstain? 246 00:12:30,374 --> 00:12:33,419 I object to the question.           Impertinent badgering               of the witness. 247 00:12:33,461 --> 00:12:36,422 How does Defense Counsel             Greenwald justify                    this line of questioning? 248 00:12:36,464 --> 00:12:38,257 Please the court,                   the nickname Old Yellowstain, 249 00:12:38,299 --> 00:12:39,925 used by the officers                 of the   Caine, 250 00:12:39,967 --> 00:12:43,095 will be relevant                     to the issue                         of mental competence. 251 00:12:43,137 --> 00:12:48,017 Before ruling, the court wishes     to caution defense counsel. 252 00:12:48,976 --> 00:12:52,438 This is a most unusual              and delicate case. 253 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,440 The honor and career                of an officer 254 00:12:54,482 --> 00:12:59,445 with an unblemished                 military record of 21 years         standing is involved. 255 00:12:59,487 --> 00:13:02,031 The defense counsel                  will have to bear                    full responsibility 256 00:13:02,072 --> 00:13:03,741 for the conduct                      of this case. 257 00:13:06,577 --> 00:13:08,746 Subject to                           the foregoing comment, 258 00:13:09,872 --> 00:13:12,458 the trial counsel's objection       is overruled. 259 00:13:13,375 --> 00:13:16,045 Court stenographer                   will repeat the question. 260 00:13:16,086 --> 00:13:18,631 "You aren't aware, then,             that all the officers                of the   Caine 261 00:13:18,672 --> 00:13:21,258 have habitually                      referred to you                      as Old Yellowstain?" 262 00:13:25,179 --> 00:13:27,306 I was not aware of that. 263 00:13:27,348 --> 00:13:29,725 No further questions. 264 00:13:29,767 --> 00:13:31,310 For now. 265 00:13:31,352 -->

 And what's the title? 283 00:14:23,487 --> 00:14:25,739 Multitudes, Multitudes. 284 00:14:25,781 --> 00:14:28,450 And has this novel,                  though incomplete, 285 00:14:28,492 --> 00:14:30,953 recently been accepted               by a publisher? 286 00:14:30,995 --> 00:14:32,371 Yes. 287 00:14:33,581 --> 00:14:35,290 Now, Lieutenant Keefer, 288 00:14:35,332 --> 00:14:37,877 were you serving                     aboard the   Caine                     in your present capacity 289 00:14:37,918 --> 00:14:40,129 on December 18th,                    2022?                            Yes. 290 00:14:40,170 --> 00:14:42,381 Was Captain Queeg                    relieved of his command              on that date? 291 00:14:42,423 --> 00:14:43,966 He was.                                          By whom? 292 00:14:44,008 --> 00:14:45,551 The executive officer. 293 00:14:45,593 --> 00:14:47,720 Describe how you learned            that the captain                     had been relieved. 294 00:14:47,761 --> 00:14:52,349 Uh, well, Mr. Maryk                 passed word for all officers        to come up to the wheelhouse. 295 00:14:52,391 --> 00:14:56,312 When we got there, he told us       that the captain was sick           and he had assumed command. 296 00:14:56,353 --> 00:15:00,316 Did Captain Queeg                    show any external signs              of being sick? 297 00:15:00,357 --> 00:15:02,067 Look, at the height                 of a cyclone-- 298 00:15:02,109 --> 00:15:04,403 Was he raving,                       or was he foaming, or--     No, no. 299 00:15:04,445 --> 00:15:07,239 Did he look any worse off            than, say, Lieutenant Keith?        No. 300 00:15:07,281 --> 00:15:08,699 Or Maryk?                    No. 301 00:15:08,741 --> 00:15:12,244 W-We were all tired,                dripping and wiped out. 302 00:15:12,286 --> 00:15:15,122 Mr. Keefer,                          did you make any effort              to persuade Mr. Maryk 303 00:15:15,164 --> 00:15:16,790 to restore Queeg                     to command? 304 00:15:16,832 --> 00:15:18,584 No, I did not. 305 00:15:18,626 --> 00:15:20,461 Did you not feel                    the seriousness                      of the moment? 306 00:15:20,502 --> 00:15:21,754 I certainly did. 307 00:15:21,795 --> 00:15:23,797 Why did you take                     no remedial action? 308 00:15:23,839 --> 00:15:26,967 I wasn't present                    when the captain was relieved. 309 00:15:27,009 --> 00:15:29,845 Maryk was in full command.          The entire ship was                 obeying his orders. 310 00:15:29,887 --> 00:15:32,389 I thought that,                     for the safety of the ship, 311 00:15:32,431 --> 00:15:34,808 my best course was                  to obey his orders. 312 00:15:34,850 --> 00:15:36,810 Mr. Keefer, were you                aboard the   Caine 313 00:15:36,852 --> 00:15:39,313 throughout the period                that Captain Queeg                   was in command? 314 00:15:39,355 --> 00:15:43,067 Yes, I was.                              Did you ever observe any             evidence of insanity in him? 315 00:15:43,108 --> 00:15:45,736 I don't--                           I can't answer that question,       not being a psychiatrist. 316 00:15:45,778 --> 00:15:47,863 Did you ever think                   he might be insane? 317 00:15:47,905 --> 00:15:49,782 Objection. 318 00:15:49,823 --> 00:15:53,118 Witness is not an expert             and matters of opinion               are not admissible evidence. 319 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:54,703 I withdraw the question. 320 00:15:54,745 --> 00:15:58,123 Mr. Keefer,                          at any time prior                    to December 18th, 321 00:15:58,165 --> 00:16:01,543 were you informed                    that Maryk suspected Queeg           of being mentally ill? 322 00:16:01,585 --> 00:16:04,296 Yes, I was.                              Describe                             how you learned this. 323 00:16:04,338 --> 00:16:05,756 Well, uh, let me see. 324 00:16:05,798 --> 00:16:08,509 Two-- Two weeks                     before the cyclone, 325 00:16:08,550 --> 00:16:10,594 Maryk showed me                     a medical log 326 00:16:10,636 --> 00:16:13,222 he had kept on                      Captain Queeg's behavior. 327 00:16:13,263 --> 00:16:16,725 He asked me to come with him        to report the situation to-- 328 00:16:16,767 --> 00:16:18,978 to Admiral Williams,                Commander Fifth Fleet. 329 00:16:19,019 --> 00:16:21,397 And did you consent                  to go with him? 330 00:16:21,438 --> 00:16:23,023 Yes, I did.                                              Why? 331 00:16:23,065 --> 00:16:25,317 He was my superior officer          and also my close friend. 332 00:16:25,359 --> 00:16:29,154 Did you believe                      that Maryk's log justified           the relief of Queeg? 333 00:16:29,196 --> 00:16:30,781 No. No. 334 00:16:30,823 --> 00:16:32,783 As soon as we got aboard            Admiral Williams's ship, 335 00:16:32,825 --> 00:16:35,869 I told him as forcibly               as I could that,                     in my opinion, 336 00:16:35,911 --> 00:16:38,539 the log wouldn't                     justify the action. 337 00:16:38,580 --> 00:16:42,292 What was his response?      After a lot of arguing,             he told me-- 338 00:16:42,334 --> 00:16:46,797 [clears throat]                     After a lot of arguing,             he-- he followed my advice. 339 00:16:46,839 --> 00:16:48,716 We returned to the   Caine. 340 00:16:48,757 --> 00:16:52,845 Were you surprised                   two weeks later when he              relieved the captain? 341 00:16:53,887 --> 00:16:55,180 I was stunned. 342 00:16:56,056 --> 00:16:58,559 Were you good with that,            Mr. Keefer? 343 00:16:59,309 --> 00:17:01,103 I was badly disturbed. 344 00:17:01,145 --> 00:17:03,939 I thought that, at best,            he would be involved                in grave difficulties. 345 00:17:03,981 --> 00:17:07,776 I thought it was                    a terrible situation                and an error on his part. 346 00:17:08,569 --> 00:17:10,112 No further questions. 347 00:17:10,154 --> 00:17:11,571 No questions. 348 00:17:11,613 --> 00:17:14,157 Does the defense intend             to recall this witness 349 00:17:14,199 --> 00:17:15,159 at a later time? 350 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,785 No, sir. 351 00:17:16,827 --> 00:17:19,997 No cross-examination of this        highly material witness? 352 00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:21,123 No, sir. 353 00:17:22,958 --> 00:17:25,044 The court                           will question the witness. 354 00:17:26,252 --> 00:17:27,503 Mr. Keefer--                         [clears throat] 355 00:17:27,546 --> 00:17:30,924 Now, as to this                     so-called medical log, 356 00:17:30,966 --> 00:17:33,844 the facts it contained              which convinced Lieutenant Maryk 357 00:17:33,886 --> 00:17:36,305 that he should                      report the captain                  to Admiral Williams 358 00:17:36,346 --> 00:17:37,639 didn't convince you. 359 00:17:37,681 --> 00:17:39,391 Is that right?                                   They did not, sir. 360 00:17:39,433 --> 00:17:41,185 Why not? 361 00:17:41,226 --> 00:17:44,104 Sir, it's not something a layman   can intelligently discuss. 362 00:17:44,146 --> 00:17:46,815 You've stated                       you're a close friend               of Mr. Maryk. 363 00:17:46,857 --> 00:17:48,442 Yes, sir. 364 00:17:48,484 --> 00:17:51,236 Well, this court                    is trying to find out,              among other things, 365 00:17:51,278 --> 00:17:54,573 any possible                        extenuating circumstances           for his acts. 366 00:17:54,615 --> 00:17:56,575 Did this medical log                merely indicate to you 367 00:17:56,617 --> 00:17:59,745 that Captain Queeg                  was a highly normal                 and competent officer? 368 00:17:59,787 --> 00:18:01,997 Sir,                                 speaking from ignorance, 369 00:18:02,039 --> 00:18:06,794 it's always seemed to me             that mental disability               was a-- a relative thing. 370 00:18:06,835 --> 00:18:09,379 Captain Queeg was                    a very strict disciplinarian 371 00:18:09,421 --> 00:18:12,549 and extremely meticulous            in hunting down                      the smallest matters. 372 00:18:12,591 --> 00:18:16,512 He wasn't the easiest person        in the world to reason with. 373 00:18:16,553 --> 00:18:19,640 And there were several occasions   where I thought                     he came down too hard 374 00:18:19,681 --> 00:18:22,392 and spent excessive time            on small matters. 375 00:18:22,434 --> 00:18:24,812 They were very unpleasant. 376 00:18:24,853 --> 00:18:28,899 But to jump from them                to the conclusion that               the captain was a maniac, 377 00:18:28,941 --> 00:18:31,485 no, no, I was compelled,            in all honesty, 378 00:18:31,527 --> 00:18:33,737 to warn Maryk                        against doing that. 379 00:18:34,947 --> 00:18:37,407 [prosecutor] State your name,       rank and present station. 380 00:18:37,449

Myself, ma'am, 578 00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:17,344 if I'm in possession                 of my faculties                      and Commander Queeg isn't. 579 00:27:17,385 --> 00:27:19,220 Well, what makes you think          he wasn't in possession             of his faculties? 580 00:27:19,262 --> 00:27:21,473 He wasn't on the morning            of December 18th. 581 00:27:21,514 -->

00:27:32,901 No. No.                             What he did do was just as bad. 584 00:27:32,942 --> 00:27:34,069 Clarify that, will you? 585 00:27:34,110 --> 00:27:36,321 His orders were vague. 586

00:27:58,635 I was, uh, antagonistic              to Captain Queeg                     at certain isolated times. 592 00:27:58,677 --> 00:28:00,679 At what isolated times               were you antagonistic? 593 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,098 When the captain                     mistreated his men,                  I opposed him. 594 00:28:03,139 --> 00:28:04,808 When did the captain                 ever mistreat his men? 595 00:28:04,849 --> 00:28:07,936 Well, for one thing,                he systematically persecuted 596 00:28:07,977 --> 00:28:09,854 Gunners Mate Second Class           Stilwell. 597 00:28:09,896 --> 00:28:11,981 In what way? 598 00:28:12,023 --> 00:28:15,068 First, he restricted him             to the ship for six months           for reading on watch. 599 00:28:15,110 --> 00:28:17,987 Refused to grant him leave          when we were back in the States     in December 2021. 600 00:28:18,029 --> 00:28:22,867 The man was getting                  anonymous messages about             his wife's infidelity. 601 00:28:22,909 --> 00:28:26,037 [stammers, sighs]                    Maryk gave Stilwell                  a 72-hour emergency leave. 602 00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:27,872 He returned a few hours              over leave-- 603 00:28:27,914 --> 00:28:31,793 Hold on. Hold on.

conspired to circumvent              an express order by                  your commanding officer 616 00:29:06,911 --> 00:29:10,331 a whole year                         before the cyclone

 to a screening by mistake. 621 00:29:22,844 --> 00:29:26,055 Uh, he restricted water use          in the middle of a heat wave 622 00:29:26,097 --> 00:29:29,267 'cause he said the men              were using too much,                they had to be taught a lesson. 623 00:29:29,309 --> 00:29:34,355 Did the captain ever issue          any rules or punishments            not permitted by regulations? 624 00:29:35,565 --> 00:29:38,109 He never did anything                not allowed by regulations. 625 00:29:38,151 --> 00:29:40,528 You don't like the captain,

                          Mm-hmm. 628 00:29:44,282 --> 00:29:46,993 But I gradually                      came to realize 629 00:29:47,035 --> 00:29:49,746 that he was a petty tyrant           and utterly incompetent. 630 00:29:49,788 --> 00:29:52,207 Did you think                        he was insane, too? 631 00:29:52,248 --> 00:29:54,250 Not until the day                    of the cyclone. 632 00:29:54,292 --> 00:29:57,045 Very well.                          Come to the day of the storm. 633 00:29:57,086 --> 00:29:58,922 Was your decision                    to obey Maryk 634 00:29:58,963 --> 00:30:01,591 based on your judgment that          the captain had gone mad? 635 00:30:01,633 --> 00:30:04,803 Or was it based                      on your hatred                       of Captain Queeg? 636 00:30:06,429 --> 00:30:11,476 I-- I just-- I don't remember       my state of mind at that time. 637 00:30:12,143 --> 00:30:13,728 No further questions. 638 00:30:13,770 --> 00:30:16,898 Mr. Keith, you stated               you disliked Captain Queeg, yes? 639 00:30:16,940 --> 00:30:18,900 I did dislike him. 640 00:30:18,942 --> 00:30:21,653

00:30:29,327 Objection. 644 00:30:29,369 --> 00:30:31,955 The issue in this case              is not whether Captain Queeg        was a model officer, 645 00:30:31,996 --> 00:30:33,832 but whether he was insane           on 18 December. 646 00:30:33,873 --> 00:30:35,959 Defense counsel hasn't              even touched that issue. 647 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,503 Well, please the court,             this bears directly                 on the fitness 648 00:30:38,545 --> 00:30:40,672 of Captain Queeg                    to command a naval vessel. 649 00:30:40,713 --> 00:30:43,049 And as evidence,                    it is nothing but clarification 650 00:30:43,091 --> 00:30:45,385 of Keith's dislike                  for his commanding officer, 651 00:30:45,426 --> 00:30:49,347 a fact brought out                  by trial counsel,                   at great pains, I might add, 652 00:30:49,389 --> 00:30:51,933 under direct examination. 653 00:30:53,393 --> 00:30:55,019 The objection is overruled. 654 00:30:56,563 --> 00:31:00,733 Mr. Keith,                          could you please describe           this so-called extortion? 655 00:31:00,775 -->

00:31:11,035 this big crate                      full of duty-free whiskey           that he wanted to sneak aboard. 658 00:31:11,077 --> 00:31:12,871 He appointed me boat officer, 659 00:31:12,912 --> 00:31:15,665 and a working party started         to load the crate in the gig. 660 00:31:15,707 --> 00:31:17,876 It was incredibly heavy, 661 00:31:17,917 --> 00:31:22,505 and Captain Queeg...                got excited 662 00:31:22,547 --> 00:31:25,800 and started screaming out           a whole bunch                       of contradictory orders. 663 00:31:25,842 --> 00:31:28,136

Captain informed me                 it was my responsibility, 668 00:31:38,229 --> 00:31:40,398 'cause I was boat officer           in charge of loading, 669 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,568 and he asked me                     what I wanted to do about it. 670 00:31:43,610 --> 00:31:45,236 I was supposed to go                on leave the next day. 671 00:31:45,278 --> 00:31:48,573 My girlfriend had flown out         from New York to be with me, 672 00:31:48,615 --> 00:31:50,366 so I went to the captain, 673 00:31:50,408 --> 00:31:53,578 I apologized for my stupidity, 674

00:32:07,759 was his cowardice                   in dangerous situations. 679 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:08,760 Objection! 680 00:32:08,801 --> 00:32:10,011 Counsel

00:32:27,779 Now, the witness has confessed      an ignorance of psychiatry. 687 00:32:28,571 --> 00:32:30,198 Things Captain Queeg did 688 00:32:30,239 --> 00:32:33,284 which forced the witness            in his ignorance                    to dislike him 689 00:32:33,326 --> 00:32:36,079 may in fact have been               the helpless acts                   of a sick man. 690 00:32:36,120

Uh, well,                           I guess the worst time              was a mine-sweeping operation 713 00:33:48,651 --> 00:33:50,194 in the Straits of Hormuz. 714 00:33:50,236 --> 00:33:52,196 That's where                        he got the nickname                 Old Yellowstain. 715 00:33:52,238 --> 00:33:54,699 And this nickname,                  Old Yellowstain,                    what does it imply? 716 00:33:54,741 --> 00:33:56,868 Well, cowardice, of course. 717 00:33:56,909 --> 00:33:59,662 It refers to a yellow dye marker   he dropped over the side. 718 00:33:59,704 --> 00:34:02,832 Describe. Describe                   this Yellowstain incident            for us, please. 719 00:34:02,874 --> 00:34:04,876 I wasn't on                         the bridge at the time. 720 00:34:04,917 --> 00:34:07,003 I only heard                        about it afterwards--                                Oh! Objection. 721 00:34:07,045 --> 00:34:10,547 Does defense counsel                seriously expect to enter these     hearsay libels on the record? 722 00:34:10,590 --> 00:34:12,759 I withdraw the question,            okay? 723 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,804 Defense will introduce              direct evidence                     on the Yellowstain incident. 724 00:34:16,846 --> 00:34:19,599 Strike the question                  and the answer                       from the record. 725 00:34:19,639 --> 00:34:21,809 Describe incidents                  of cowardice 726 00:34:21,851 --> 00:34:24,228 to which you were                   an eyewitness,                      Mr. Keith. 727 00:34:25,146 --> 00:34:28,065 Any time there was                   a difficult situation, 728 00:34:28,107 --> 00:34:31,319 Captain Queeg was always            to be found on the side             of the bridge away from it all. 729 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:35,406 I saw that a dozen times            when I was officer of the day.      Thank you. 730 00:34:35,447 --> 00:34:37,574 No further questions. 731 00:34:37,617 --> 00:34:40,870 Mr. Keith,                          has Lieutenant Commander Queeg 732 00:34:40,911 --> 00:34:45,373 ever been investigated              or charged by higher authority 733 00:34:45,416 --> 00:34:49,420 for any of this alleged              unprofessional behavior              that you describe? 734 00:34:49,462 --> 00:34:50,838 No. 735 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,091 Can you cite                         any official records 736 00:34:53,132 --> 00:34:56,385 that'll substantiate                 any of these fantastic 737 00:34:56,427 --> 00:34:58,596 and libelous stories                 that you've been telling 738 00:34:58,638 --> 00:35:00,598 under the guidance                   of defense counsel? 739 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,308 Official records, no. 740 00:35:02,350 --> 00:35:04,852 Mr. Keith, do you                    know for a fact 741 00:35:04,894 --> 00:35:08,231 that the crate that was lost        contained smuggled liquor? 742 00:35:08,272 --> 00:35:10,233 It's common knowledge. 743 00:35:10,274 --> 00:35:12,026 Common knowledge. 744 00:35:12,068 --> 00:35:14,570 Did you see the liquor               in the crate?                                No. 745 00:35:14,612 --> 00:35:18,658 Can you name one person             who will testify that they          saw liquor in the crate? 746 00:35:18,699 --> 00:35:21,702 Naturally, he was pretty            careful about that.         Okay, not one person. 747 00:35:21,744 --> 00:35:25,081 I just-- I don't--                   I don't know who would               have actually seen it. 748 00:35:25,873 --> 00:35:27,166 Mr. Keith,                           you've testified 749 00:35:27,208 --> 00:35:29,293 that you don't like                  Captain Queeg. 750 00:35:29,335 --> 00:35:32,296 You're reporting as fact            every evil rumor about him 751 00:35:32,338 --> 00:35:35,967 and you're making                   wildly irresponsible charges        under oath. 752 00:35:36,008 --> 00:35:37,802 Isn't that the plain truth           of your testimony,                   Mr. Keith? 753 00:35:37,844 --> 00:35:39,887 I haven't lied once. 754 00:35:39,929 --> 00:35:42,223 Mr. Keith, on the morning           that the captain was relieved, 755 00:35:42,265 --> 00:35:44,642 did you really think                he'd gone crazy? 756 00:35:45,601 --> 00:35:47,311 I said before, 757 00:35:47,353 --> 00:35:50,648 I can't say for sure                 what my state of mind was,           or his. 758 00:35:51,691 --> 00:35:53,651 No more questions. 759 00:35:57,321 --> 00:35:58,990 Call Captain Southard. 760 00:36:04,287 --> 00:36:07,248 State your name, rank               and present station. 761 00:36:07,290 --> 00:36:08,833 Randolph Southard, 762 00:36:08,875 --> 00:36:12,128 Captain, US Navy                     operations officer,                  Fifth Fleet. 763 00:36:12,170 --> 00:36:13,838 You understand                      that you've been called             as an expert witness 764 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,423 on Avenger-class                    ship handling? 765 00:36:15,464 --> 00:36:16,799 I do. 766 00:36:16,841 --> 00:36:18,217 State your qualifications. 767 00:36:18,259 --> 00:36:20,720 Some 20 years                        on smaller combatants, 768 00:36:20,761 --> 00:36:22,430 ten years                            of commanding all types, 769 00:36:22,471 --> 00:36:25,433 including ships                      ranging up to                        guided missile destroyers. 770 00:36:25,474 --> 00:36:29,103 To clarify for the members,         will you use the map                marked "Exhibit A" 771 00:36:29,145 --> 00:36:32,815 to illustrate                       the position of the   Caine           when she encountered the storm? 772 00:36:33,691 --> 00:36:37,570 The   Caine                            was approximately here. 773 00:36:37,612 --> 00:36:41,699 The storm hit                        from the northeast,                  heading southwest. 774 00:36:41,741 --> 00:36:43,743 Vessels of the task force            steered south 775 00:36:43,784 --> 00:36:45,620 in an attempt                        to outrun the weather. 776 00:36:45,661 --> 00:36:48,664 The   Caine,   in her spot               on the right flank                   of the sweep pattern, 777 00:36:48,706 --> 00:36:50,166 caught the worst of it. 778 00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:52,877 Rather than steering                with the wind aft, 779 00:36:52,919 --> 00:36:56,714 she turned north                     into the wind and seized. 780 00:36:56,756 --> 00:37:00,635 That was the situation               in the strait                        on the day in question. 781 00:37:00,676 --> 00:37:02,637 Thank you, Captain.                  You may be seated. 782 00:37:02,678 --> 00:37:04,639 Trial counsel,                       you may proceed. 783 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,140 Thank you. 784 00:37:07,308 --> 00:37:10,895 Captain, let's say that,            hypothetically, 785 00:37:10,937 --> 00:37:13,481 you're the one                       who's in command                     of the vessel. 786 00:37:13,522 --> 00:37:16,108 A cyclone blows up                   without warning                      traveling west 787 00:37:16,150 --> 00:37:18,236 and you're directly                  in the path of it. 788 00:37:18,277 --> 00:37:19,987 The wind keeps increasing, 789 00:37:20,029 --> 00:37:22,531 its direction                       holding steady from the north. 790 00:37:22,573 --> 00:37:26,786 Soon your wind                      is force ten to 12                  and your seas are mountainous. 791 00:37:26,827 --> 00:37:29,455 Under the circumstances,            what would you do? 792 00:37:29,497 --> 00:37:31,832 Well, I'd execute                   the classic Navy maneuver 793 00:37:31,874 --> 00:37:34,210 known as getting                    the hell out of there. 794 00:37:34,252 --> 00:37:36,087 And how would you go                about that, Captain? 795 00:37:36,128 --> 00:37:38,256 Well, it's almost                   rule of thumb. 796 00:37:38,297 --> 00:37:40,424 You say the winds                   from the north are 90 knots, 797 00:37:40,466 --> 00:37:43,594 center of the cyclone               coming at you from the west. 798 00:37:43,636 --> 00:37:45,429 The best course is south. 799 00:37:45,471 --> 00:37:48,349 You might have to head              a couple of points                  one way or the other, 800 00:37:48,391 --> 00:37:49,934 depending on your seas, 801 00:37:49,976 --> 00:37:53,854 but there's only one way            out of that mess-- south. 802 00:37:53,896 --> 00:37:57,108 But then you have                   a terribly strong stern wind,       don't you? 803 00:37:57,149 --> 00:37:58,943 What about it? 804 00:37:58,985 --> 00:38:02,488 Well, can a small vessel             ride safely going downwind           in such conditions? 805 00:38:02,530 --> 00:38:06,284 She'll ride just as well             going downwind as upwind. 806 00:38:06,325 --> 00:38:08,744 In fact,                             with your high freeboard             going forward, 807 00:38:08,786 --> 00:38:10,663 a smaller vessel                     tends to back in the wind. 808 00:38:10,705 --> 00:38:15,751 Other things being equal,           she'll do slightly                  better going downwind. 809 00:38:15,793 --> 00:38:18,963 How about turning north              in those circumstances               and heading into the wind? 810 00:38:19,005 --> 00:38:24,468 Well, that would be                 dubious and dangerous,              not to mention idiotic. 811 00:38:24,510 --> 00:38:26,595 Why, sir? 812 00:38:26,637 --> 00:38:29,598 Well, you're heading yourself       right back into the path            of the cyclone. 813 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,227 Unless you're interested             in sinking,                          that's not smart. 814 00:38:33,269 --> 00:38:34,979 That's all, sir. 815 00:38:35,021 --> 00:38:39,775 Captain, have you ever               conned a ship                        at the center of a cyclone? 816 00:38:39,817 --> 00:38:41,694 Negative. 817 00:38:41,736 --> 00:38:45,114 Been on the fringes often,           but always managed                   to avoid the center. 818 00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:49,035 And have you ever commanded          a mine countermeasures ship?        Negative. 819 00:38:49,076 --> 00:38:52,455 Okay, this trial, sir,              concerns an Avenger-class MCM 820 00:38:52,496 --> 00:38:54,874 at the center of                    a very dangerous storm. 821 00:38:54,915 --> 00:38:56,834 I'm aware of that. 822 00:38:56,876 --> 00:39:00,338 I've had MCMs under my command,     and I've read the book on them. 823 00:39:00,379 --> 00:39:02,465 They don't differ                    from smaller-class vessels 824 00:39:02,506 --> 00:39:06,927 in terms of characteristics         and handling in rough weather. 825 00:39:06,969 --> 00:39:09,138 I only ask these questions,         sir, 826 00:39:09,180 --> 00:39:11,640 because you are                     the only expert                     ship-handling witness, 827 00:39:11,682 --> 00:39:15,186 and I believe the extent            of your expert knowledge            should be clear to the court. 828 00:39:15,227 --> 00:39:17,271 Well,                                I've handled these ships 829 00:39:17,313 --> 00:39:20,775 in almost                            every conceivable situation          for the last ten years. 830 00:39:20,816 --> 00:39:23,944 Haven't handled                      a mine countermeasures               at the center of a cyclone, 831 00:39:23,986 --> 00:39:27,114 but I don't know                     who the hell has besides             the skipper of the   Caine. 832 00:39:27,156 --> 00:39:29,200 That's                              a thousand-to-one shot. 833 00:39:29,241 --> 00:39:32,328 Then would you state,                without reservation, 834 00:39:32,370 --> 00:39:36,374 that the same rules hold            for an MCM                          at the center of a cyclone? 835 00:39:36,415 --> 00:39:40,544 At the center of a cyclone,         there are no hard                   and fast rules. 836 00:39:40,586 --> 00:39:43,297 That's one situation                where it's all up                   to the commanding officer. 837 00:39:43,339 --> 00:39:45,508 Too many things                     happen too fast. 838 00:39:45,549 --> 00:39:47,510 Mmm. 839 00:39:47,551 --> 00:39:50,721 You remember                        the hypothetical question           put to you by trial counsel 840 00:39:50,763 --> 00:39:52,515 about the storm, yes? 841 00:39:52,556 --> 00:39:53,849 I do. 842 00:39:53,891 --> 00:39:55,976 I want you to assume                in that situation 843 00:39:56,018 --> 00:39:58,687 that the wind and the seas           become bigger. 844 00:39:58,729 --> 00:40:02,233 They become bigger                   than anything-- anything             you have ever experienced. 845 00:40:02,274 --> 00:40:03,943 You have lost control                of your ship, sir. 846 00:40:03,984 --> 00:40:06,237 You actually believe                she could sink. 847 00:40:06,278 --> 00:40:08,906 You are in                           the worst-case scenario. 848 00:40:08,948 --> 00:40:12,368 Do you bring around north            into the wind, 849 00:40:12,410 --> 00:40:15,913 or do you continue south,            stern to the wind? 850 00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,748 You're getting                       very extreme. 851 00:40:17,790 --> 00:40:20,000 Yes, sir, I am.                      Would you prefer not                 to answer the question? 852 00:40:20,042 --> 00:40:22,044 I'll answer it.     Please. 853 00:40:22,086 --> 00:40:24,255 In the worst-case scenario, 854 00:40:24,296 --> 00:40:27,591 I'd come around the north,           into the wind, if I could. 855 00:40:27,633 --> 00:40:31,053 But only                             in the worst-case scenario.                  Why? 856 00:40:31,095 --> 00:40:34,056 Because the engines                  in your rudder have                  the best chance that way. 857 00:40:34,098 --> 00:40:38,519 That's why.                         It's your last chance               to keep control of your ship. 858 00:40:38,561 --> 00:40:42,273 But aren't you heading back         into the center of the storm?       First things first. 859 00:40:42,314 --> 00:40:43,983 If you're on                         the verge of sinking, 860 00:40:44,024 --> 00:40:46,068 you about as bad off                 as you can get. 861 00:40:46,110 --> 00:40:47,653 Mind you, you said                   worst-case scenario. 862 00:40:47,695 --> 00:40:52,324 I did, sir.                         Thank you very much.                No further questions. 863 00:40:52,366 --> 00:40:54,660 Captain,                             who, in your opinion,                is the best judge 864 00:40:54,702 --> 00:40:57,580 as to whether a ship is in          the worst-case scenario? 865 00:40:57,621 --> 00:41:01,292 There's only one judge.             The commanding officer. 866 00:41:01,333 --> 00:41:03,169 Why, sir? 867 00:41:03,210 --> 00:41:06,505 The Navy made him captain           'cause his knowledge                of the sea and of ships 868 00:41:06,547 --> 00:41:09,383 is better than anyone else's        on the ship. 869 00:41:09,425 --> 00:41:14,138 It's very common                    for some subordinate officers       to think the ship is sinking 870 00:41:14,180 --> 00:41:17,224 when all that's happening           is a little weather. 871 00:41:17,266 --> 00:41:20,060 Well, don't you think, sir,         that when his subordinates 872 00:41:20,102 --> 00:41:22,062 all agree that the ship             is going down 873 00:41:22,104 --> 00:41:23,814 that the captain ought              to listen to them? 874 00:41:23,856 --> 00:41:25,816 Negative. 875 00:41:25,858 --> 00:41:29,153 Panic is a common hazard            at sea. 876 00:41:29,195 --> 00:41:31,322 The highest function of command     is to override 877 00:41:31,363 --> 00:41:34,575 and listen to nothing                but the voice of his own            professional judgment. 878 00:41:35,868 --> 00:41:38,162 Call Dr. Joan Lundeen. 879 00:41:43,042 --> 00:41:45,169 State your name, rank                and present station. 880 00:41:45,211 --> 00:41:47,338 Lieutenant Commander                Joan Lundeen, 881 00:41:47,379 --> 00:41:49,965 Medical Corps, US Navy,             Head of Psychiatry, 882 00:41:50,007 --> 00:41:52,176 US Naval Hospital,                   San Francisco. 883 00:41:52,218 --> 00:41:55,179 Were you the head of                the medical board that examined     Lieutenant Commander Queeg? 884 00:41:55,221 --> 00:41:56,555 I was. 885 00:41:56,597 --> 00:41:59,975 And how long                        did your examination last,          Doctor? 886 00:42:00,017 --> 00:42:03,687 We had the commander                under constant observation          and testing for three weeks. 887 00:42:03,729 --> 00:42:05,773 [Challee]                           And what was the finding            of the board? 888 00:42:05,814 --> 00:42:08,817 Commander Queeg was discharged      with a clean bill of health. 889 00:42:08,859 --> 00:42:13,572 Doctor, is it possible               that two months ago,                 on December 18th, 890 00:42:13,614 --> 00:42:16,367 he was in such a state               of psychotic collapse 891 00:42:16,408 --> 00:42:19,495 that relieving him                   from naval command                   would be justified? 892 00:42:19,537 --> 00:42:20,788 No. 893 00:42:20,829 --> 00:42:22,665 Is it possible                       for a sane man 894 00:42:22,706 --> 00:42:26,627 to perform offensive,                disagreeable,                        foolish acts? 895 00:42:26,669 --> 00:42:28,379 It happens every day. 896 00:42:28,420 --> 00:42:31,006 We didn't find                       that the commander                   was a perfect officer. 897 00:42:31,048 --> 00:42:34,718 Yet, you still say                   that to relieve him                  from naval command 898 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,888 because of mental illness            would be unjustified? 899 00:42:37,930 --> 00:42:41,058 Completely unjustified. 900 00:42:41,725 --> 00:42:43,269 Thank you. 901 00:42:43,769 --> 00:42:45,980 Dr. Lundeen, 902 00:42:46,021 --> 00:42:48,023 my background is legal,              not medical, 903 00:42:48,065 --> 00:42:51,569 so I hope you'll bear with me       as I try to clarify                 some technical terms. 904 00:42:51,610 --> 00:42:53,320 Of course. 905 00:42:53,362 --> 00:42:57,366 I'm going to ask some               pretty elementary questions.                             All right. 906 00:42:57,408 --> 00:43:00,077 Would you say Commander Queeg       is absolutely normal? 907 00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:01,912 [chuckles] 908 00:43:01,954 --> 00:43:05,291 Well, normality, you know,           is a fiction in psychiatry.     Mmm. 909 00:43:05,332 --> 00:43:08,669 No adult is without problems        except a happy imbecile. 910 00:43:08,711 --> 00:43:10,838 What are                             Commander Queeg's problems? 911 00:43:10,879 --> 00:43:14,508 You might say his                    overall problem is one of            an inferiority complex 912 00:43:14,550 --> 00:43:16,635 generated                            by an unhappy childhood 913 00:43:16,677 --> 00:43:19,972 and aggravated                      by certain adult experiences. 914 00:43:20,014 --> 00:43:22,308 Unhappy childhood                   in what way? 915 00:43:22,349 --> 00:43:26,562 Divorced parents,                    financial trouble, 916 00:43:26,604 --> 00:43:28,105 problems at school. 917 00:43:28,147 --> 00:43:30,482 And the aggravating factors          in adult life? 918 00:43:31,775 --> 00:43:33,235 In his adult life, 919 00:43:33,277 --> 00:43:35,529 the commander is troubled           by his low standing 920 00:43:35,571 --> 00:43:37,906 in his academy class                and other such factors, 921 00:43:37,948 --> 00:43:39,783 but he has                          become well-adjusted. 922 00:43:39,825 --> 00:43:42,911 Mmm. Can you describe               the nature of that adjustment? 923 00:43:42,953 --> 00:43:46,457 His identity as a naval officer     is the essential factor. 924 00:43:46,498 --> 00:43:48,917 It's the key                        to his personal security. 925 00:43:48,959 --> 00:43:52,463 Therefore,                          he has a fixed anxiety              about protecting his standing. 926 00:43:52,504 --> 00:43:54,465 That would account                   for his harshness. 927 00:43:54,506 --> 00:43:56,592 Would he be slow                    to admit mistakes? 928 00:43:56,634 --> 00:43:59,303 Yes, of course.                      There's nothing                      unbalanced in that. 929 00:43:59,345 --> 00:44:02,514 Oh, really? I mean,                  would he be a perfectionist? 930 00:44:02,556 --> 00:44:04,600 Such a personality                   would be. 931 00:44:04,642 --> 00:44:06,310 Inclined to hound                    his subordinates 932 00:44:06,352 --> 00:44:07,895 over the smallest                    little details. 933 00:44:07,936 --> 00:44:11,440 Any mistake                          of a subordinate                     is intolerable 934 00:44:11,482 --> 00:44:13,525 because it might cause him harm. 935 00:44:13,567 --> 00:44:17,529 Yet he will not admit mistakes      that he makes himself. 936 00:44:17,571 --> 00:44:21,742 You might say                        that he revises reality              in his own mind 937 00:44:21,784 --> 00:44:23,661 so he comes out blameless. 938 00:44:23,702 --> 00:44:27,456 Doctor, isn't                        distortion of reality                a symptom of mental illness? 939 00:44:27,498 --> 00:44:30,250 It's a question of degree. 940 00:44:30,292 --> 00:44:32,628 Each one of us                       has our own reality. 941 00:44:32,670 --> 00:44:37,007 Yes, Doctor, but doesn't            Commander Queeg distort reality     more, say, than you do? 942 00:44:37,049 --> 00:44:39,301 Yes, that's his weakness. 943 00:44:39,343 --> 00:44:41,261 Other people                         have other weaknesses. 944 00:44:41,303 --> 00:44:43,430 It's definitely                      not disabling. 945 00:44:43,472 --> 00:44:48,519 Well, if he's criticized,            would he think he was                being unjustly persecuted? 946 00:44:49,353 --> 00:44:51,271 It's all one pattern, 947 00:44:51,313 --> 00:44:55,109 all stemming                        from one basic premise              that he must try to be perfect. 948 00:44:55,150 --> 00:44:56,819 Inclined to stubbornness, then. 949 00:44:56,860 --> 00:45:00,322 Well, you'll have                    a certain rigidity                   of personality 950 00:45:00,364 --> 00:45:02,366 in such an individual. 951 00:45:02,408 --> 00:45:04,702 His inner insecurity                 stops him from admitting 952 00:45:04,743 --> 00:45:07,663 that those who differ                from him may be right. 953 00:45:07,705 --> 00:45:12,960 Doctor, you just testified that     the following symptoms exist        in Commander Queeg's behavior. 954 00:45:13,001 --> 00:45:14,670 We have rigidity                    of personality. 955 00:45:14,712 --> 00:45:16,422 We have feelings                    of persecution. 956 00:45:16,463 --> 00:45:18,507 We have                             unreasonable suspicion. 957 00:45:18,549 --> 00:45:20,217 We have withdrawal                  from reality. 958 00:45:20,259 --> 00:45:22,261 We have performance anxiety. 959 00:45:22,302 --> 00:45:24,805 We have an unreal basic premise 960 00:45:24,847 --> 00:45:27,683 and an obsessive sense              of self-righteousness. 961 00:45:27,725 --> 00:45:31,061 All mild, sir.                       All well-compensated. 962 00:45:31,103 --> 00:45:33,105 Yes, Doctor, yes. 963 00:45:33,147 --> 00:45:37,276 But is there                        an inclusive psychiatric term,      one label for this syndrome? 964 00:45:37,317 --> 00:45:40,154 Syndrome? Who said anything         about a syndrome? 965 00:45:40,195 --> 00:45:44,700 You're misusing a term.             There's no syndrome                 because there's no disease. 966 00:45:44,742 --> 00:45:46,660 I'll rephrase it. 967 00:45:46,702 --> 00:45:48,871 Do these symptoms                    fall into 968 00:45:48,912 --> 00:45:53,000 a single pattern                     of neurotic disturbance,             a common psychiatric class? 969 00:45:53,041 --> 00:45:55,544 I know                               what you're getting at.     Well? 970 00:45:55,586 --> 00:45:59,840 It's a paranoid personality,        but that is not                     a disabling affliction. 971 00:45:59,882 --> 00:46:02,092 Doctor--                            A what personality,                 Doctor? 972 00:46:02,134 --> 00:46:04,011 Paranoid. 973 00:46:04,052 --> 00:46:07,181 A paranoid?                      Yes, paranoid. 974 00:46:09,725 --> 00:46:12,728 Um, Doctor, in a-- 975 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,941 in a paranoid personality,           like Commander Queeg's, 976 00:46:17,983 --> 00:46:19,860 would he-- I'm-- 977 00:46:19,902 --> 00:46:22,070 I'm gonna put this to you            hypothetically. 978 00:46:22,112 --> 00:46:24,573 Can a man have                      a paranoid personality 979 00:46:24,615 --> 00:46:27,159 that would not disable him           for subordinate duties, 980 00:46:27,201 --> 00:46:28,786 but would disable him                for command? 981 00:46:28,827 --> 00:46:30,954 It's conceivable. 982 00:46:30,996 --> 00:46:34,166 And is the disabling factor          likely to be detected                in a personal interview? 983 00:46:34,208 --> 00:46:36,210 With a skilled                       psychiatrist, yes. 984 00:46:36,251 --> 00:46:38,962 Why? I mean,                        why is a psychiatrist needed? 985 00:46:39,004 --> 00:46:41,965 Can't an educated, intelligent      person detect a paranoid? 986 00:46:42,007 --> 00:46:44,885 Well, you evidently                  aren't too well acquainted           with the pattern. 987 00:46:44,927 --> 00:46:47,346 The distinguishing mark              of this neurosis 988 00:46:47,387 --> 00:46:51,809 is the extreme plausibility          and a most convincing normal        manner on the surface, 989 00:46:51,850 --> 00:46:54,311 particularly                         in self-justification. 990 00:46:54,353 --> 00:46:56,271 Self-justification. 991 00:46:56,313 --> 00:46:57,981 Thank you, Doctor. 992 00:46:59,107 --> 00:47:00,484 No further questions. 993 00:47:00,526 --> 00:47:02,820 [officer] The court wishes           to clear up one point. 994 00:47:02,861 --> 00:47:07,574 Doctor, is...                       is such a thing possible-- 995 00:47:07,616 --> 00:47:10,285 Well, let me put it this way. 996 00:47:10,327 --> 00:47:12,162 Let's say that a man                with a mild condition 997 00:47:12,204 --> 00:47:16,083 is not disabled for all             the usual stresses of command. 998 00:47:16,124 --> 00:47:20,838 Now let's say those stresses        are multiplied manifold             by an extreme emergency. 999 00:47:20,879 --> 00:47:23,799 Would there then be a tendency      to make erroneous judgments? 1000 00:47:23,841 --> 00:47:25,551 There might be, sir. 1001 00:47:25,592 --> 00:47:28,720 Of course, extreme stress           does that to almost anybody. 1002 00:47:28,762 --> 00:47:30,722 It's not supposed to do it          to commanding officers. 1003 00:47:30,764 --> 00:47:34,977 No, but practically speaking,       sir, they're human. 1004 00:47:38,564 --> 00:47:41,149 State your name, rank                and present station. 1005 00:47:41,191 --> 00:47:43,902 Allen Bird, MD,                     US Navy Reserve. 1006 00:47:43,944 --> 00:47:46,905 I was called to serve on            the psychiatric evaluation team. 1007 00:47:46,947 --> 00:47:49,408 Was this the board that              was headed by Dr. Lundeen 1008 00:47:49,449 --> 00:47:52,744 which recently inquired into        the mental health of                 Lieutenant Commander Queeg? 1009 00:47:52,786 --> 00:47:54,955 Yes.                    And what was the finding            of the board? 1010 00:47:54,997 --> 00:47:58,125 We found that the commander          is mentally fit                      for command now 1011 00:47:58,166 --> 00:48:00,544 and has never been unfit. 1012 00:48:00,586 --> 00:48:03,380 Did you find any indication         that Commander Queeg 1013 00:48:03,422 --> 00:48:06,717 had what is known                    as a paranoid personality? 1014 00:48:06,758 --> 00:48:10,846 Well, I prefer to call it           obsessive personality               with paranoid features. 1015 00:48:10,888 --> 00:48:14,933 Right, but this did not              indicate mental unfitness.               No. 1016 00:48:14,975 --> 00:48:18,186 You agree, Doctor,                   that Commander Queeg                is mentally fit now 1017 00:48:18,228 --> 00:48:20,981 and must have been                   mentally fit                         on December 18th 1018 00:48:21,023 --> 00:48:23,275 when he was relieved                on the grounds                       of mental illness? 1019 00:48:23,317 --> 00:48:25,360 That was                            our unanimous conclusion. 1020 00:48:25,402 --> 00:48:27,404 Thank you, Doctor. 1021 00:48:27,446 --> 00:48:29,239 [Greenwald]                         Dr. Bird, 1022 00:48:29,281 --> 00:48:32,492 do you have any special training   in psychoanalysis? 1023 00:48:32,534 --> 00:48:34,369 Yes. 1024 00:48:34,411 --> 00:48:37,164 Okay, and in psychoanalysis,        is there such a thing                as mental illness? 1025 00:48:37,205 --> 00:48:39,917 There are disturbed people          and adjusted people. 1026 00:48:39,958 --> 00:48:41,919 But those terms,                     "disturbed" and "adjusted," 1027 00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,421 they correspond roughly              in layman's terms 1028 00:48:44,463 --> 00:48:46,506 to "sick" and "well,"                as we use them. 1029 00:48:46,548 --> 00:48:48,592 Very roughly, yes. 1030 00:48:48,634 --> 00:48:53,472 Would you say                        Commander Queeg suffers              from an inferiority complex? 1031 00:48:53,513 --> 00:48:57,225 Yes, but it's...                     well-compensated. 1032 00:48:57,267 --> 00:48:59,937 Is there a difference                between "compensated"                and "adjusted"? 1033 00:48:59,978 --> 00:49:01,146 Most definitely. 1034 00:49:01,188 --> 00:49:03,774 Okay, could you please              describe that for us? 1035 00:49:03,815 --> 00:49:06,193 Well, let's say                      a man is suffering 1036 00:49:06,234 --> 00:49:09,863 from some deep-seated                psychological disturbance. 1037 00:49:09,905 --> 00:49:13,951 He can compensate                    by finding outlets                   for his peculiar drives. 1038 00:49:13,992 --> 00:49:19,164 Okay. So, has Commander Queeg       ever been psychoanalyzed? 1039 00:49:19,206 --> 00:49:21,833 No.     He's in your terms, then,           a disturbed person? 1040 00:49:21,875 --> 00:49:24,711 Yes, he is.                          Not disabled, however,               by the disturbance. 1041 00:49:24,753 --> 00:49:26,964 Okay, how is he compensated? 1042 00:49:28,215 --> 00:49:29,925 Mainly two ways. 1043 00:49:29,967 --> 00:49:33,053 The paranoid pattern,               which is useless                    and not desirable, 1044 00:49:33,095 --> 00:49:36,765 and his naval career,               which is extremely useful           and desirable. 1045 00:49:36,807 --> 00:49:39,643 Yes, Doctor, have you                noticed that little thing            he does with his hands? 1046 00:49:39,685 --> 00:49:41,395 You mean                            rolling the steel balls?                         Yes. 1047 00:49:41,436 --> 00:49:43,230 Could you describe                   that for us, please? 1048 00:49:43,271 --> 00:49:45,816 It's an incessant rolling           of two marbles in his hand. 1049 00:49:45,857 --> 00:49:48,568 Mm-hmm.                              Why does he do it? 1050 00:49:48,610 --> 00:49:51,279 Oh, uh, his hands tremble. 1051 00:49:51,321 --> 00:49:54,199 He does it to still his hands       and conceal the trembling. 1052 00:49:54,241 --> 00:49:55,492 Why do his hands tremble? 1053 00:49:55,534 --> 00:49:58,704 Inner tension.                      It's a surface symptom. 1054 00:49:58,745 --> 00:50:01,206 Doctor, you've testified            that Commander Queeg 1055 00:50:01,248 --> 00:50:03,917 is a disturbed,                      not an adjusted person, yes? 1056 00:50:03,959 --> 00:50:06,336 Yes.                                         So he is,                            in layman's terms, sick. 1057 00:50:06,378 --> 00:50:08,672 Yes? 1058 00:50:08,714 --> 00:50:12,134 I remember agreeing to the          rough resemblance of the terms      "disturbed" and "sick," 1059 00:50:12,175 --> 00:50:14,594 but by those terms                  an awful lot of people              are sick. 1060 00:50:14,636 --> 00:50:17,639 Yes, Doctor, but this court          only has Commander Queeg's           sickness at issue. 1061 00:50:17,681 --> 00:50:21,435 If he is sick, how could             your board have given him            a clean bill of health? 1062 00:50:21,476 --> 00:50:24,938 Y-You're playing on words.          We found no disability. 1063 00:50:24,980 --> 00:50:27,357 Doctor, just suppose                 for an instant 1064 00:50:27,399 --> 00:50:30,986 that the requirements of command   are way more severe                 than you believe them to be. 1065 00:50:31,028 --> 00:50:34,197 Wouldn't even this mild sickness   be enough to disable him? 1066 00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,658 That's absurdly hypothetical,       because--                           Oh, is it? 1067 00:50:36,700 --> 00:50:38,827 Have you ever had                    sea duty, Doctor?           No. 1068 00:50:38,869 --> 00:50:41,872 No? How long have you been           in the service of the Navy? 1069 00:50:41,913 --> 00:50:43,206 Five months.            Five months? 1070 00:50:43,248 --> 00:50:45,876 Five--                               Six months.                  Six, I guess now. 1071 00:50:45,917 --> 00:50:47,919 Six months in the service           of the Navy. 1072 00:50:47,961 --> 00:50:51,381 Have you ever had any dealings      with ships' captains                prior to this case? 1073 00:50:51,423 --> 00:50:52,549 No.                                                  No? 1074 00:50:52,591 --> 00:50:54,009 Then on what do you base 1075 00:50:54,051 --> 00:50:55,427 your estimate                       of the requirements of command? 1076 00:50:55,469 --> 00:50:57,387 My general knowledge. 1077 00:50:57,429 --> 00:51:00,390 Would you say it takes somebody,   a person of exceptional ability, 1078 00:51:00,432 --> 00:51:03,310 highly gifted, highly skilled       to be a commander                   of a naval vessel? 1079 00:51:03,351 --> 00:51:04,728 No.                     No. Really? 1080 00:51:04,770 --> 00:51:07,147 Not highly gifted, no.          Then what? 1081 00:51:07,189 --> 00:51:09,691 Uh, reasonable responses.       "Reasonable"? 1082 00:51:09,733 --> 00:51:11,777 Uh, fairly good                      intelligence.                   "Fairly good"? 1083 00:51:11,818 --> 00:51:14,196 Sufficient training                  and experience, but-- 1084 00:51:14,237 --> 00:51:17,199 Is this enough equipment,            say, for a highly skilled            psychiatrist? 1085 00:51:17,240 --> 00:51:19,076 Not exactly. 1086 00:51:19,117 --> 00:51:21,328 So in other words,                   it takes more ability                to be a psychiatrist 1087 00:51:21,369 --> 00:51:23,997 than it does to be                   the commander of                     a US naval vessel. 1088 00:51:24,039 --> 00:51:26,666 It takes-- That is,                  uh, different abilities              are required. 1089 00:51:26,708 --> 00:51:28,919 You're making the comparison,       not I. 1090 00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,713 No, Doctor, you're the one          that said you don't think           Commander Queeg's sickness 1091 00:51:31,755 --> 00:51:34,049 should disable him for command. 1092 00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:37,552 I am suggesting that since          you evidently know little about     the requirements of command, 1093 00:51:37,594 --> 00:51:39,429 that you may be wrong                in your conclusion. 1094 00:51:39,471 --> 00:51:41,932 Well, I reject                       your suggestion.                                 Oh, you do? Why? 1095 00:51:41,973 --> 00:51:44,226 Because you've deliberately         substituted the word "sick," 1096 00:51:44,267 --> 00:51:46,853 which is a loose--                  a polarizing--                                               Have I? 1097 00:51:46,895 --> 00:51:48,605 A what word, Doctor?                                 Polarizing. 1098 00:51:48,647 --> 00:51:50,440 A polarizing word.                           I never said "sick." 1099 00:51:50,482 --> 00:51:53,276 My grasp of the requirements        of command is adequate, 1100 00:51:53,318 --> 00:51:56,071 or I would have                     disqualified myself                 from serving on the board. 1101 00:51:56,113 --> 00:51:57,781 Maybe you should                    have disqualified yourself. 1102 00:51:57,823 --> 00:51:59,491 Objection!                          The witness is being badgered! 1103 00:51:59,533 --> 00:52:01,618 I withdraw                           my last statement. 1104 00:52:01,660 --> 00:52:03,537 No further questions. 1105 00:52:03,578 --> 00:52:06,206 Doctor, the defense counsel          has managed to put                   words into your mouth 1106 00:52:06,248 --> 00:52:08,542 that I'm certain                    you don't mean. 1107 00:52:08,583 --> 00:52:11,419 I'm not aware that                  he succeeded in putting             any words into my mouth. 1108 00:52:11,461 --> 00:52:14,464 Doctor, he drew                      the implication from you             that Captain Queeg is sick. 1109 00:52:14,506 --> 00:52:17,634 Surely you don't--      I'm careful in my use               of terminology. 1110 00:52:17,676 --> 00:52:20,846 I did not use the term "sick." 1111 00:52:20,887 --> 00:52:25,684 Captain Queeg is definitely         not disabled for command,           which is the only issue here. 1112 00:52:28,770 --> 00:52:30,313 Prosecution rests. 1113 00:52:32,023 --> 00:52:33,650 Defense,                             present your case. 1114 00:52:34,860 --> 00:52:36,653 I call the accused. 1115 00:52:38,029 --> 00:52:41,741 Does the accused request that       he be permitted to testify?                              Yes, sir. 1116 00:52:41,783 --> 00:52:43,785 You have the right                   not to take the stand. 1117 00:52:43,827 --> 00:52:46,663 If you don't take the stand,        that fact won't be                   to your prejudice. 1118 00:52:46,705 --> 00:52:50,333 If you take the stand,              you may be subjected to             a rigorous cross-examination. 1119 00:52:50,375 --> 00:52:52,252 I understand that,                   sir. 1120 00:52:52,294 --> 00:52:54,212 You may take the stand. 1121 00:52:57,382 --> 00:52:59,885 State your name, rank               and present position. 1122 00:52:59,926 --> 00:53:01,303 Steven Maryk,                        Lieutenant, US Navy, 1123 00:53:01,344 --> 00:53:03,180 executive officer                    of the USS   Caine. 1124 00:53:03,221 --> 00:53:05,724 Are you the accused                 in this court-martial?                           Yes, I am. 1125 00:53:05,765 --> 00:53:08,143 What was your occupation            in civilian life? 1126 00:53:08,185 --> 00:53:10,937 Helping my father                    in his fishing business.            We own a couple boats. 1127 00:53:10,979 --> 00:53:12,898 Where?                                           San Francisco. 1128 00:53:12,939 --> 00:53:15,317 Then you were familiar              with the problems                   of ocean-going ship handling 1129 00:53:15,358 --> 00:53:17,152 prior to joining the Navy? 1130 00:53:17,194 --> 00:53:19,654 Yes, I've been on boats              since I was 14. 1131 00:53:19,696 --> 00:53:23,325 Did you relieve                     the commander of the USS   Caine      18th December, 2022? 1132 00:53:23,366 --> 00:53:25,410 Yes, I did. 1133 00:53:25,452 --> 00:53:27,996 Was the   Caine   in trouble            when you relieved its captain?                           Yes, it was. 1134 00:53:28,038 --> 00:53:31,541 And on what facts                   do you base that judgment?                   Well, several things. 1135 00:53:31,583 --> 00:53:33,168 We couldn't hold course. 1136 00:53:33,210 --> 00:53:35,545 We broached three times              in an hour.                 "Broached"? 1137 00:53:35,587 --> 00:53:39,174 Yes, wind and sea took charge       and tossed us sideways              ten minutes at a time. 1138 00:53:39,216 --> 00:53:42,052 We were rolling too steeply         for the inclinometer to record. 1139 00:53:42,093 --> 00:53:45,388 We were shipping water              out of the wheelhouse.              The generators were cutting out. 1140 00:53:45,430 --> 00:53:48,016 The ship was not responding          to emergency rudder                  and engine settings. 1141 00:53:48,058 --> 00:53:49,517 We were lost                         and out of control. 1142 00:53:49,559 --> 00:53:51,645 And did you inform                  your captain of this?                                    Yes. 1143 00:53:51,686 --> 00:53:55,732 Repeatedly for an hour.              I begged him                         to come north into the wind. 1144 00:53:55,774 --> 00:53:57,234 What was his reply? 1145 00:53:57,275 --> 00:54:00,737 Well, mostly                         just a glazed look                   and no answer. 1146 00:54:01,655 --> 00:54:03,490 Mr. Maryk, 1147 00:54:03,531 --> 00:54:07,327 when did you start                  keeping your medical log            on Commander Queeg? 1148 00:54:07,369 --> 00:54:09,704 Shortly after the incident           with the mines                       in the Straits of Hormuz. 1149 00:54:09,746 --> 00:54:13,500 And why did you start it?                I began to think the captain        might be mentally ill. 1150 00:54:13,541 --> 00:54:16,127 Why?                                         Because of the yellow                dye marker business. 1151 00:54:16,169 --> 00:54:19,839 You mean the incident               where the commander acquired        the nickname Old Yellowstain? 1152 00:54:19,881 --> 00:54:21,091 Yes. 1153 00:54:21,132 --> 00:54:23,468 Were you an eyewitness              to this occurrence? 1154 00:54:23,510 --> 00:54:25,428 I was navigator.                     I was right there                    on the bridge. 1155 00:54:25,470 --> 00:54:28,056 Please describe                     this Yellowstain incident. 1156 00:54:29,391 --> 00:54:32,352 It was the third day                of an assigned sweep                with two other MCMs. 1157 00:54:32,394 --> 00:54:33,895 Mm-hmm. 1158 00:54:33,937 --> 00:54:36,731 We had detected                      a field of acoustic mines. 1159 00:54:36,773 --> 00:54:38,733 [speaking louder]                    It was the third day 1160 00:54:38,775 --> 00:54:40,777 of an assigned sweep                 with two other MCMs. 1161 00:54:40,819 --> 00:54:42,779 We detected a field                 of acoustic mines 1162 00:54:42,821 --> 00:54:44,781 in the narrowest part               of the strait 1163 00:54:44,823 --> 00:54:46,950 and we'd been ordered               to destroy them in place            using high explosives. 1164 00:54:46,992 --> 00:54:50,287 And that's delicate business.       It's gotta be done just right. 1165 00:54:50,328 --> 00:54:52,956 We milled around out there           for a while. 1166 00:54:52,998 --> 00:54:56,042 Then the captain decided            not to set the charges. 1167 00:54:56,084 --> 00:54:58,086 He gave us some excuse               about faulty equipment. 1168 00:54:58,128 --> 00:55:00,797 I checked the gear.                 It was in perfect working order. 1169 00:55:00,839 --> 00:55:02,716 And the captain                      wouldn't hear it. 1170 00:55:02,757 --> 00:55:05,260 He said the tech was incompetent   and he knew better. 1171 00:55:05,302 --> 00:55:08,054 So we dropped                        a yellow dye marker                  over the side, 1172 00:55:08,096 --> 00:55:10,223 radioed to the other MCM            to destroy the mines. 1173 00:55:10,265 --> 00:55:14,102 They radioed back                   to slow down, but we just--         we steamed right out of there. 1174 00:55:14,144 --> 00:55:15,478 [Greenwald] "Steamed."              Now, Mr. Maryk-- 1175 00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:18,023 The court wishes to                  question the witness. 1176 00:55:18,064 --> 00:55:21,776 Lieutenant, you say                 the gear was in working order.      Did you check it personally? 1177 00:55:21,818 --> 00:55:24,362 Yes, sir, along with                the chief electronic tech           and the sonar men. 1178 00:55:24,404 --> 00:55:26,406 It was fine.                        There was absolutely                nothing wrong with the gear. 1179 00:55:26,448 --> 00:55:29,075 And after you steamed away,          was there any danger                 due to shock waves 1180 00:55:29,117 --> 00:55:30,702 from the underwater                  detonations? 1181 00:55:30,744 --> 00:55:32,829 No.                                 No, there was not. 1182 00:55:32,871 --> 00:55:35,498 MCMs are designed to                withstand that kind of thing.       We do this all the time. 1183 00:55:35,540 --> 00:55:39,252 Now, you say these boats            signaled to you                      to slow down. 1184 00:55:39,294 --> 00:55:41,921 Yes, sir.                                    Was the signal reported              to your captain? 1185 00:55:41,963 --> 00:55:43,673 I reported it to him myself. 1186 00:55:43,715 --> 00:55:45,467 Was he aware that                    he was steaming away 1187 00:55:45,508 --> 00:55:47,927 from his assigned spot               in the sweep formation? 1188 00:55:47,969 --> 00:55:50,513 It was obvious to                   everyone on the bridge.             I pointed it out. 1189 00:55:50,555 --> 00:55:52,682 I said we were breaking             the sweep pattern, 1190 00:55:52,724 --> 00:55:54,976 that the other vessels              would not know                      where we'd found the mines. 1191 00:55:55,018 --> 00:55:59,439 And that is when he said,           "We'll drop a yellow dye marker     over the side then." 1192 00:55:59,481 --> 00:56:01,358 You may continue. 1193 00:56:01,399 --> 00:56:04,736 Mr. Maryk, why didn't               you go immediately                  to a higher authority 1194 00:56:04,778 --> 00:56:07,447 with your doubts                    about Captain Queeg's               mental health? 1195 00:56:07,489 --> 00:56:10,325 I felt if I had a record,            I'd be on stronger ground. 1196 00:56:10,367 --> 00:56:12,410 That's when I decided                to keep the medical log. 1197 00:56:12,452 --> 00:56:15,872 If I was wrong,                     I'd just burn it.                   I kept it under lock and key. 1198 00:56:15,914 --> 00:56:17,791 And what,                           in your opinion, 1199 00:56:17,832 --> 00:56:20,460 made an incident worthy             of keeping a record                 in the medical log? 1200 00:56:20,502 --> 00:56:22,670 Any act that seemed                  abnormal or strange. 1201 00:56:22,712 --> 00:56:24,714 Like what?                               Like the coffee machine. 1202 00:56:24,756 --> 00:56:26,299 The coffee machine                  business?                                        Yes. 1203 00:56:26,341 --> 00:56:28,134 Well, please describe               the coffee machine thing. 1204 00:56:28,176 --> 00:56:30,053 We had a new coffee machine          in the wardroom. 1205 00:56:30,095 --> 00:56:33,765 And, uh, Captain                     really liked his coffee.             But you had to be careful. 1206 00:56:33,807 --> 00:56:36,309 You couldn't leave it               plugged in too long                 or the thing would burn out. 1207 00:56:36,351 --> 00:56:38,520 That's exactly what happened. 1208 00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:40,814 One of the guys assigned            to the wardroom mess duty           forgot to unplug it 1209 00:56:40,855 --> 00:56:43,066 and the thing was--                  it was just fried. 1210 00:56:43,108 --> 00:56:45,735 And none of them would admit        which one had done it. 1211 00:56:45,777 --> 00:56:49,406 So the captain ordered              all the officers of the ship        to sit as a trial of inquiry 1212 00:56:49,447 --> 00:56:51,366 to find out who'd burned out        the coffee machine. 1213 00:56:51,408 --> 00:56:55,036 Which-- Look, in itself,            it's a silly thing. 1214 00:56:55,078 --> 00:56:57,914 But this went on                     for 36 hours. 1215 00:56:57,956 --> 00:56:59,249 [Greenwald whistles] 1216 00:56:59,290 --> 00:57:00,875 [Maryk]                             All ship's work suspended. 1217 00:57:00,917 --> 00:57:03,294 And there we are, all of us,        we're in the wardroom. 1218 00:57:03,336 --> 00:57:06,047 We're dying for sleep,               we need showers, 1219 00:57:06,089 --> 00:57:08,633 and we're trying to figure out      which one of these poor bastards   burned out the coffee machine. 1220 00:57:08,675 --> 00:57:11,970 And they're so scared,               they think whoever did it            is gonna get shot. 1221 00:57:12,011 --> 00:57:13,847 They'd have sooner died              before they told us. 1222 00:57:13,888 --> 00:57:16,266 And so, finally,                     I go to the captain 1223 00:57:16,307 --> 00:57:19,394 and I say all the officers          will admit that they're             incompetent investigators 1224 00:57:19,436 --> 00:57:21,855 and take the hit                    on their fitness reports, 1225 00:57:21,896 --> 00:57:26,109 but we can't find out               who left the coffee machine         plugged in for too long. 1226 00:57:26,151 --> 00:57:29,279 And so he makes a mark              in his black book                   and he calls off the inquiry. 1227 00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:32,115 It's things like that.               Or the water business. 1228 00:57:32,157 --> 00:57:33,366 The water business.                              Yes. 1229 00:57:33,408 --> 00:57:35,743 Please describe                     that water business. 1230 00:57:35,785 --> 00:57:39,914 Look, it's all in the log.      I know, but please describe         the water business. 1231 00:57:39,956 --> 00:57:42,709 The captain                          restricted water use                 from the entire crew 1232 00:57:42,750 --> 00:57:44,711 for two days                         in the middle                        of a dust storm 1233 00:57:44,752 --> 00:57:48,381 because he caught                    one of the deck gang                 taking a shower. 1234 00:57:48,423 --> 00:57:51,342 Or it's plain crazy things.          Cheese business. 1235 00:57:51,384 --> 00:57:52,927 The cheese business.                     The strawberry-- Yes. 1236 00:57:52,969 --> 00:57:56,055 Cheese business?                     I don't recall                       any cheese business. 1237 00:57:56,097 --> 00:57:59,225 This was on the first ship          the captain was assigned to,        sir, as an ensign. 1238 00:57:59,267 --> 00:58:02,437 Cheese was going missing            from the ship's stores. 1239 00:58:02,479 --> 00:58:04,647 And the captain investigated        and he caught a sailor 1240 00:58:04,689 --> 00:58:08,318 who'd made a duplicate key          to the padlock                      to the refrigerator. 1241 00:58:08,359 --> 00:58:10,487 Now, for catching                   this cheese thief, 1242 00:58:10,528 --> 00:58:12,697 he was given a letter               of commendation. 1243 00:58:12,739 --> 00:58:15,283 This is during peacetime,           so naturally                        he's pretty proud of the thing. 1244 00:58:15,325 --> 00:58:19,245 So when the strawberry stuff        started, he insisted                it was the same thing. 1245 00:58:19,287 --> 00:58:20,830 And all we had to do                was find the guy 1246 00:58:20,872 --> 00:58:23,791 who had made a duplicate key        to the wardroom fridge. 1247 00:58:23,833 --> 00:58:25,919 But of course                        that's ridiculous. 1248 00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:29,464 It was one of the guys assigned     to the wardroom mess again. 1249 00:58:29,506 --> 00:58:32,217 We all knew that they'd eaten       this quart of strawberries. 1250 00:58:32,258 --> 00:58:33,676 It was left over                    from the wardroom mess. 1251 00:58:33,718 --> 00:58:35,762 They were entitled to it.           That was the custom. 1252 00:58:35,803 --> 00:58:37,722 But when the captain                started to freak out                about those strawberries, 1253 00:58:37,764 --> 00:58:39,599 they froze up,                      said they didn't                    know who'd eaten them. 1254 00:58:39,641 --> 00:58:42,393 And the captain's                   so hot on his theory                he believes them. 1255 00:58:42,435 --> 00:58:44,562 So he ordered the search            for the key.                        Yes, sir. 1256 00:58:44,604 --> 00:58:49,317 We have never seen Captain Queeg   so happy before or since. 1257 00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:52,237 He's living the cheese business     all over again. 1258 00:58:52,278 --> 00:58:54,864 He organized the search himself. 1259 00:58:54,906 --> 00:58:57,492 We collected every key              on that ship. 1260 00:58:57,534 --> 00:59:01,287 We had just boxes--                 barrels of keys. 1261 00:59:01,329 --> 00:59:03,373 That's about 2,800 of them          all told, 1262 00:59:03,414 --> 00:59:05,625 each tagged                         with the owner's name. 1263 00:59:05,667 --> 00:59:09,003 And just to be safe,                we searched that ship               from stem to stern, 1264 00:59:09,045 --> 00:59:11,673 from the radar mast                  to the bilge. 1265 00:59:11,714 --> 00:59:13,091 We stripped the crew naked. 1266 00:59:13,132 --> 00:59:14,968 [Greenwald]                         Naked?                                   Yes, sir. Naked. 1267 00:59:15,009 --> 00:59:17,428 Each one of them lined up,          stark naked, 1268 00:59:17,470 --> 00:59:19,722 and we shook out their clothes. 1269 00:59:19,764 --> 00:59:22,684 We searched their lockers.          We searched every hole,             every place on that ship. 1270 00:59:22,725 --> 00:59:25,353 We crawled under the bilge          and pulled out                      the lead ballast blocks 1271 00:59:25,395 --> 00:59:27,105 that are 200 pounds apiece. 1272 00:59:27,146 --> 00:59:30,316 This went on for three days. 1273 00:59:30,358 --> 00:59:32,360 [Greenwald]                         Three days?                         [Maryk] Yes, sir. 1274 00:59:32,402 --> 00:59:36,531 All in the name of a key            that never existed. 1275 00:59:36,573 --> 00:59:41,286 So, when I saw the captain           sitting by the fridge, 1276 00:59:41,327 --> 00:59:43,204 pulling keys one by one              from a barrel 1277 00:59:43,246 --> 00:59:47,667 and trying them in a padlock        for hours on end                     with a gleam in his eye, 1278 00:59:47,709 --> 00:59:49,794 I gave up. 1279 00:59:49,836 --> 00:59:53,590 And that is when                     I showed the medical log             to Lieutenant Keefer. 1280 00:59:54,757 --> 00:59:56,509 Mr. Maryk, 1281 00:59:56,551 --> 00:59:58,761 when Lieutenant Keefer               finished reading                     your medical log, 1282 00:59:58,803 --> 01:00:01,097 what was                             his first comment? 1283 01:00:01,848 --> 01:00:03,516 Sir, I don't remember. 1284 01:00:03,558 --> 01:00:06,311 Did he encourage you                 to go to Admiral Williams? 1285 01:00:06,352 --> 01:00:08,271 No, sir,                            I did that on my own. 1286 01:00:08,313 --> 01:00:10,398 But he went with you                to the flagship. 1287 01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:14,110 Yes, sir.                        So, at first,                        he didn't discourage you? 1288 01:00:15,653 --> 01:00:18,448 Once we were                         aboard the flagship,                 he discouraged me 1289 01:00:18,489 --> 01:00:20,950 and said we shouldn't               go through it and we didn't. 1290 01:00:20,992 --> 01:00:23,453 Would you say his testimony          on the subject was                   substantially correct? 1291 01:00:23,494 --> 01:00:25,955 Yes, sir.                           This was all my doing, sir. 1292 01:00:25,997 --> 01:00:27,457 Continue your examination. 1293 01:00:27,498 --> 01:00:29,876 Mr. Maryk,                          when the cyclone was over, 1294 01:00:29,917 --> 01:00:32,795 did Commander Queeg                 make an attempt                     to regain command? 1295 01:00:32,837 --> 01:00:34,589 Yes. 1296 01:00:34,631 --> 01:00:36,966 On the morning of the 19th,         after the storm had blown out. 1297 01:00:37,008 --> 01:00:38,468 What happened? 1298 01:00:39,844 --> 01:00:42,096 Well, I was in the chart house      writing up a dispatch. 1299 01:00:42,138 --> 01:00:44,974 And?                                     I was reporting the relief           to Admiral Williams. 1300 01:00:45,016 --> 01:00:47,352 And? 1301 01:00:47,393 --> 01:00:50,355 Captain Queeg came and asked        if I would go to his cabin          and speak to him 1302 01:00:50,396 --> 01:00:52,315 before I sent the dispatch. 1303 01:00:52,357 --> 01:00:55,276 So I went below                      and we talked. 1304 01:00:55,318 --> 01:00:57,236 And what happened? 1305 01:00:58,529 --> 01:01:02,325 It was the same as before,           uh, at first. 1306 01:01:02,367 --> 01:01:04,202 He said I'd be                      court-martialed for mutiny. 1307 01:01:04,243 --> 01:01:08,289 And then he went                    on this long thing about            how much he loved the Navy, 1308 01:01:08,331 --> 01:01:10,208 that he has no other interests, 1309 01:01:10,249 --> 01:01:13,503 and even if                         he was cleared of this              that his record would be ruined. 1310 01:01:13,544 --> 01:01:16,255 And I told him                       I felt sorry for him. 1311 01:01:16,297 --> 01:01:18,174 And I-- I really did. 1312 01:01:19,884 --> 01:01:22,970 And that's when                      he came out with                     his proposal. 1313 01:01:23,012 --> 01:01:24,430 Which? 1314 01:01:25,807 --> 01:01:28,184 He said he wouldn't                  write me up and report me, 1315 01:01:28,226 --> 01:01:30,144 that he would resume                 command of the ship 1316 01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:33,314 and that the whole thing would      be written off and forgotten. 1317 01:01:33,356 --> 01:01:35,858 And what was your reply             to his proposal? 1318 01:01:35,900 --> 01:01:37,777 I was amazed. 1319 01:01:37,819 --> 01:01:40,863 I said, Captain,                    the whole ship knows about it.      [Greenwald] Yes. 1320 01:01:40,905 --> 01:01:43,157 It's written up                      in the quartermaster's log. 1321 01:01:43,199 --> 01:01:45,368 It's written up                      in the officer                       of the deck's log. 1322 01:01:45,410 --> 01:01:48,913 And, uh--                            And he hemmed and hawed. 1323 01:01:48,955 --> 01:01:51,165 [Greenwald]                         And? 1324 01:01:51,207 --> 01:01:53,042 What happened next? 1325 01:01:53,084 --> 01:01:55,211 Finally, he said                     it wouldn't be                       the first time 1326 01:01:55,253 --> 01:01:58,172 that a rough log                    had been corrected                  and fixed up after the fact. 1327 01:01:58,214 --> 01:02:00,842 Did you remind him                  that the alteration of logs         is strictly forbidden? 1328 01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,428 Yes, I did.                          And he kind of laughed. 1329 01:02:03,469 --> 01:02:05,930 He said it was either that           or a court-martial                   for mutiny for me 1330 01:02:05,972 --> 01:02:08,766 and a black mark                     on his record which he felt          he did not deserve. 1331 01:02:08,808 --> 01:02:10,017 And what followed? 1332 01:02:10,059 --> 01:02:11,978 He begged and he pleaded. 1333 01:02:12,019 --> 01:02:16,607 And, uh, at one point he cried      and eventually got very angry 1334 01:02:16,649 --> 01:02:18,359 and he ordered me out                of his cabin. 1335 01:02:18,401 --> 01:02:20,695 That is when                         I sent the dispatch. 1336 01:02:20,737 --> 01:02:25,199 Then you had the opportunity,       less than 24 hours later, 1337 01:02:25,241 --> 01:02:28,911 to expunge this whole event         from the official records 1338 01:02:28,953 --> 01:02:31,914 with your captain's                 knowledge and approval. 1339 01:02:31,956 --> 01:02:33,583 Yes, sir. 1340 01:02:33,624 --> 01:02:36,753 Mr. Maryk,                          were you panicky at all             during the storm? 1341 01:02:36,794 --> 01:02:38,546 No, I was not. 1342 01:02:38,588 --> 01:02:42,592 Lieutenant, you are charged         with relieving                      your captain willfully, 1343 01:02:42,633 -->

01:02:52,435 Yes.                                 I knew what I was doing. 1346 01:02:52,477 --> 01:02:54,729 Did you relieve him                 without authority? 1347 01:02:54,771 --> 01:02:57,607 No, my authority is Chapter 11      of Navy Regulations. 1348 01:02:57,648 --> 01:03:00,943 Did you relieve                     without justifiable cause?                           No. 1349 01:03:00,985 --> 01:03:03,488 My justifiable cause was            the captain's mental breakdown 1350 01:03:03,529 --> 01:03:05,531 at a time when the ship              was in danger. 1351

01:03:13,873 --> 01:03:17,668 in which the captain offered        to falsify official records, 1354 01:03:17,710 --> 01:03:19,754 were there                           any witnesses to it? 1355 01:03:20,630 --> 01:03:22,799 We were alone in his cabin.         No. 1356 01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:25,843 This incident with the mines.       Did anyone else                     see these records? 1357 01:03:25,885 --> 01:03:27,970 Which, according to you,            indicated that the   Caine 1358 01:03:28,012 --> 01:03:29,931 had departed                        her assigned sweep formation? 1359 01:03:29,972 --> 01:03:32,809 Was there anything                   in the records                       of the ship's movements 1360 01:03:32,850 --> 01:03:35,394 that would verify                    that departure? 1361 01:03:35,436 --> 01:03:37,313 Well, about an hour                 after it happened, 1362 01:03:37,355 --> 01:03:40,066 the captain asked                   to see the chart,                   he took it to his cabin, 1363 01:03:40,107 --> 01:03:42,777 and when I got the log back,        there was no mention                of the incident. 1364 01:03:42,819 --> 01:03:46,239 Right. Then you have                 no corroboration                     of this story. 1365 01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:48,574 No.                                  [clears throat] 1366 01:03:48,616 -->

           what you're talking about           when you discuss mental illness. 1416 01:06:00,581 --> 01:06:03,876 Is that right?      Well, you know, I never said        I knew much about it. 1417 01:06:03,918 --> 01:06:04,919 [chuckles] 1418 01:06:04,961 --> 01:06:06,504 Have you ever heard                 the expression 1419 01:06:06,545 --> 01:06:08,547 that a little learning              is a dangerous thing? 1420 01:06:08,965 --> 01:06:10,591 Yes. 1421 01:06:10,633 --> 01:06:12,718 You had a head full of terms        you didn't understand, 1422 01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:15,262 and on that basis                   felt you had the right 1423 01:06:15,304 --> 01:06:17,640 to depose                           a commanding officer 1424 01:06:17,682 --> 01:06:19,767 on the grounds                      of mental illness. 1425 01:06:19,809 --> 01:06:22,520 Is that right?      I didn't relieve Captain Queeg      because what the book said. 1426 01:06:22,561 --> 01:06:26,816 I relieved him because the ship     was in danger of sinking.                    No, never mind the ship. 1427 01:06:26,857 --> 01:06:29,568 We are discussing

01:06:40,663 They say he wasn't. 1432 01:06:40,705 --> 01:06:43,249 But you,                             with your whining gripes            of strawberries 1433 01:06:43,290 --> 01:06:46,419 and coffee makers,                   know better. 1434 01:06:46,460 --> 01:06:50,172 Mr. Maryk, who was                   the third ranking officer            on your ship? 1435 01:06:50,214 --> 01:06:51,674 Lieutenant Keefer. 1436 01:06:51,716 --> 01:06:53,759 Was he                               a good officer?              Yes. 1437 01:06:53,801 --> 01:06:56,512 Do you consider his mind

 Yes. 1440 01:07:02,143 --> 01:07:05,604 Was he convinced by it               that the captain                     was mentally ill? 1441 01:07:06,188 --> 01:07:08,065 No. 1442 01:07:08,107 --> 01:07:10,943 He talked to you                     out of trying to have                the captain relieved. 1443 01:07:10,985 --> 01:07:12,028 Yes. 1444 01:07:12,069 --> 01:07:14,030 And yet two weeks later, 1445 01:07:14,071 --> 01:07:17,283 despite the whole weight            of naval discipline, 1446 01:07:17,324 --> 01:07:20,453 despite the arguments                of the next officer                  in rank to you, 1447 01:07:20,494 --> 01:07:22,455 a superior intellect, 1448 01:07:22,496 --> 01:07:24,373 despite all this, 1449 01:07:24,415 --> 01:07:27,918 you went ahead                       and seized command                   of your ship? 1450 01:07:29,336 --> 01:07:31,047 I relieved Captain Queeg 1451 01:07:31,088 --> 01:07:32,965 because he definitely               seemed sick 1452 01:07:33,007 --> 01:07:35,384 on the morning                       of the cyclone. 1453 01:07:35,426 --> 01:07:38,679 You still believe                    that your diagnosis                  of Captain Queeg 1454 01:07:38,721 --> 01:07:40,765 is superior                          to the doctors'? 1455 01:07:40,806 --> 01:07:44,060 J-- O-Only about Queeg              on the morning                      of the cyclone. 1456 01:07:46,312 --> 01:07:48,064 No more questions. 1457 01:07:50,399 --> 01:07:51,942 No re-examination. 1458

01:08:18,469 Commander, you are reminded         that you are still under oath. 1461 01:08:18,511 --> 01:08:20,888 Yes, sir.                                        Be seated. 1462 01:08:23,349 --> 01:08:25,684 Commander, on the morning           of the 19th December, 1463 01:08:25,725 --> 01:08:28,729 did you have an interview           in your room                        with Lieutenant Maryk? 1464 01:08:28,770 --> 01:08:30,106 Well, let's see. 1465 01:08:30,147 --> 01:08:33,024 The 19th,                            the day after the storm. 1466 01:08:33,067 --> 01:08:34,318 Yes. Yes, I did.

 of the interview? 1469 01:08:38,988 --> 01:08:41,367 Well, as I say,                      I felt sorry for him. 1470 01:08:41,408 --> 01:08:43,786 Hated to see him                     ruining his life 1471 01:08:43,828 --> 01:08:46,287 over one panicky mistake, 1472 01:08:46,330 --> 01:08:50,542 particularly knowing                 that it was his ambition             to make the Navy a career. 1473 01:08:50,584 --> 01:08:53,629 I tried as hard as I could           to show him                          what a mistake he had made, 1474 01:08:53,671 --> 01:08:56,090 suggested                            he relinquish command                back to me 1475 01:08:56,131 --> 01:08:58,591 and offered to be                    as lenient as possible 1476 01:08:58,634 --> 01:09:00,426 when reporting                       what had happened. 1477 01:09:00,469 --> 01:09:03,305 You never offered                   not to report the incident?                              How could I? 1478 01:09:03,346 --> 01:09:06,475 It had already been                  recorded in the logs.                Yes. 1479 01:09:06,517 --> 01:09:09,103 Those logs,                          were they handwritten,               typed, or what? 1480 01:09:09,145 --> 01:09:10,938 It wouldn't have                     made a difference. 1481 01:09:10,979 --> 01:09:13,858 Were they handwritten,              Commander?                                   Well, probably. 1482 01:09:13,899 --> 01:09:16,068 Quartermasters log, OOD. 1483 01:09:16,109 --> 01:09:18,194 Rough logs                          are usually handwritten. 1484 01:09:18,237 --> 01:09:21,573 I can't imagine                     that the yeoman had time            to type out smooth logs, 1485 01:09:21,615 --> 01:09:23,408 given all the excitement. 1486 01:09:23,450 --> 01:09:26,120 Did you offer                        to alter the logs                    and not report the incident? 1487 01:09:26,162 --> 01:09:28,413 No, I did not.                      Alterations are not permitted. 1488 01:09:28,455 --> 01:09:30,499 Lieutenant Maryk                     testified under oath,                Commander, 1489 01:09:30,541 --> 01:09:32,585 that you made                        such an offer. 1490 01:09:32,626 --> 01:09:36,380 Not only that, but you               begged and pleaded with him          to alter the logs, 1491 01:09:36,421 --> 01:09:39,841 in return for which                  you promised to hush up              the story completely 1492 01:09:39,884 --> 01:09:41,510 and make no report. 1493 01:09:41,551 --> 01:09:43,220 Well, that's just                   not the truth. 1494 01:09:43,261 --> 01:09:45,639 There isn't any truth                in it at all? 1495 01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:48,725 It's a complete distortion          of what I've said.                  My version is the exact truth. 1496 01:09:48,767 --> 01:09:51,687 You deny the proposal                to alter the logs                    and hush up the story. 1497 01:09:51,729 --> 01:09:53,647 Yes. I deny it completely. 1498 01:09:53,689 --> 01:09:56,483

01:10:10,206 Th-That's all I'm saying. 1506 01:10:10,247 --> 01:10:13,542 Isn't it obvious, Commander,        that one of you is not telling      the truth about this meeting? 1507 01:10:13,584 --> 01:10:16,629 Well, it appears so.                             Can you prove that                   it isn't you? 1508 01:10:16,670 --> 01:10:20,216 Only by citing                      a clean record of 21 years          as a naval officer 1509 01:10:20,257 --> 01:10:24,053 over the word of                    a man standing trial                for a mutinous act. 1510 01:10:25,763

That's over a year ago,              December thereabouts. 1516 01:10:43,948 --> 01:10:46,575 He was responsible                   for the loss. 1517 01:10:46,617 --> 01:10:50,246 Well, insisted                       on paying for it,                    a-a-and so he did. 1518 01:10:50,287 --> 01:10:53,290 And what was in this crate          that cost $1,000? 1519 01:10:53,332 --> 01:10:56,043

 that rattled the men. 1524 01:11:06,637 --> 01:11:08,681 They dropped the crate               into the water and it sank. 1525 01:11:08,722 --> 01:11:11,892 A wooden crate,                     full of clothes, sank. 1526 01:11:11,934 --> 01:11:14,270 It had other things in it. 1527 01:11:14,311 --> 01:11:16,563 Souvenir coral rocks,               for example.

 of strange statements. 1533 01:11:33,831 --> 01:11:35,582 You make this crate                  yourself? 1534 01:11:35,624 --> 01:11:38,127 No, a man                           from the engine room did.                            What's his name? 1535 01:11:38,168 --> 01:11:40,212 I don't recall. It'll be            in the personnel records. 1536 01:11:40,254 --> 01:11:43,048 He's been gone from the ship        for quite some time.                         Okay, where is he now? 1537 01:11:43,924 --> 01:11:45,718 Uh, I-I don't know. 1538 01:11:45,759 --> 01:11:49,138 Because you don't know              what his name is?                                    No. 1539 01:11:49,179 --> 01:11:54,184 Was it Engineman Second Class       Otis F. Langhorn, sir? 1540 01:11:54,226 --> 01:11:56,520 L... Langhorn? 1541 01:11:56,562 --> 01:11:57,896 Yes. 1542 01:11:58,522 --> 01:11:59,773 Langhorn, yeah. 1543 01:11:59,815 --> 01:12:01,984 Well, th-that                        sounds about right. 1544 01:12:02,026 --> 01:12:06,905 There's an Otis F. Langhorn,        engineman first class,              in transit right now. 1545 01:12:06,947 --> 01:12:09,575 Defense has arranged to             subpoena him if necessary. 1546 01:12:09,616 --> 01:12:11,785 Are you sure                         it's the same one? 1547 01:12:11,827 --> 01:12:14,872 Well, it says 20 months             aboard the   Caine.                   It's got your signature upon it. 1548 01:12:14,913 --> 01:12:16,749 Would it be useful                  to have him called, sir? 1549 01:12:16,790 --> 01:12:19,877 Objection                            to this entire irrelevancy           about the crate 1550 01:12:19,918 --> 01:12:22,004 and request it be stricken          from the record. 1551 01:12:22,046 --> 01:12:24,173 The witness's credibility           is being established. 1552 01:12:24,214 --> 01:12:27,760 I put it to the court, sir,         that nothing could be               more relevant to this trial. 1553 01:12:28,719 --> 01:12:30,179 Overruled. 1554 01:12:30,220 --> 01:12:32,598 Court stenographer                   will repeat the question. 1555 01:12:32,639 --> 01:12:35,517 [stenographer]                       "Would it be useful to               have him subpoenaed, sir?" 1556 01:12:35,559 --> 01:12:39,188 Well, the real question is,         which crate                         did Langhorn nail up? 1557 01:12:39,229 --> 01:12:41,482 I-I now recall                      having two crates. 1558 01:12:41,523 --> 01:12:45,444 Oh, well,                           this is new information             not mentioned by Keith. 1559 01:12:45,486 --> 01:12:47,613 Did Langhorn nail up                both crates, sir? 1560 01:12:47,654 --> 01:12:51,492 I-I can't-- I can't recall          if I had two crates                 on th-that occasion 1561 01:12:51,533 --> 01:12:54,036 or two crates                       on two separate occasions. 1562 01:12:54,078 --> 01:12:58,374 It's been a long time               and I've had a strenuous year       of command from ports of storm. 1563 01:12:58,415 --> 01:13:00,876 I-- I just--                        I can't be clear. 1564 01:13:00,918 --> 01:13:04,296 Commander,                          there are a number of issues        in this trial 1565 01:13:04,338 --> 01:13:06,256 which turn on                       the issue of credibility 1566 01:13:06,298 --> 01:13:08,384 between yourself                    and other officers. 1567 01:13:08,425 --> 01:13:11,136 If you wish,                        I can request a quick               little five-minute recess 1568 01:13:11,178 --> 01:13:14,431 while you clear your mind           as best you can about               the matter of this crate. 1569 01:13:14,473 --> 01:13:17,518 No, no, that won't be necessary.   Just give me some time to think. 1570 01:13:17,559 --> 01:13:19,395 Please.                                      Please. 1571 01:13:22,147 --> 01:13:23,732 Uh... 1572 01:13:24,775 --> 01:13:26,443 Um... 1573 01:13:27,194 --> 01:13:28,904 Uh... 1574 01:13:29,947 --> 01:13:33,200 Ah, o-okay.                         I-I've got it straight now. 1575 01:13:33,242 --> 01:13:35,536 Mm-hmm.                                  I misspoke. 1576 01:13:35,577 --> 01:13:40,165 Uh, San Diego, 2014,                I lost a crate                      in similar circumstances. 1577 01:13:40,207 --> 01:13:42,209 That was the crate                  with the clothes in it 1578 01:13:42,251 --> 01:13:46,004 and the crate that Keith lost       did contain liquor. 1579 01:13:46,046 --> 01:13:49,091 Entirely full of liquor.                         Well, I suppose so. 1580 01:13:49,133 --> 01:13:51,885 You transported this                on your ship. 1581 01:13:51,927 --> 01:13:53,345 You are aware of                    Navy Regulations, sir. 1582 01:13:53,387 --> 01:13:55,431 Of course I'm aware                  of regulations. 1583 01:13:55,472 --> 01:13:57,599 Th-The crate was sealed              before I got under way. 1584 01:13:57,641 --> 01:13:59,768 I gave it                            the same locked stowage              that I did 1585 01:13:59,810 --> 01:14:02,271 the medicinal brandy,                three years' steady duty. 1586 01:14:02,312 --> 01:14:07,109 I gave myself this leeway            as the captain of the   Caine,        which was a common practice. 1587 01:14:07,151 --> 01:14:11,655 I do believe that rank               has its privileges,                  as they say, and, well, uh-- 1588 01:14:11,697 --> 01:14:14,575 I-I didn't mean to                  conceal it from the court. 1589 01:14:14,616 --> 01:14:16,452 It's not something                  I'm ashamed of. 1590 01:14:16,493 --> 01:14:18,996 I just got the two crates           mixed up in my mind. 1591 01:14:19,037 --> 01:14:20,581 Lieutenant Maryk                     also testified, sir, 1592 01:14:20,622 --> 01:14:22,458 that you gave                        all the orders                       to the boat crew 1593 01:14:22,499 --> 01:14:24,251 which resulted                       in the loss of the crate. 1594 01:14:24,293 --> 01:14:26,420 [chuckles]                          Well, that's a lie. 1595 01:14:26,462 --> 01:14:29,173 And that you refused                to sign his leave papers            until he paid you for that loss. 1596 01:14:29,214 --> 01:14:31,300 [Queeg]                              And that is another lie. 1597 01:14:32,759 --> 01:14:35,888 Commander, during the period        when the   Caine                       was sweeping for mines 1598 01:14:35,929 --> 01:14:37,639 off the Straits of Hormuz, 1599 01:14:37,681 --> 01:14:39,892 did you steam over                  and cut your own tow line? 1600 01:14:39,933 --> 01:14:41,393 [Challee]                            Objection! 1601 01:14:41,435 --> 01:14:43,729 This tow line business               is the last straw. 1602 01:14:43,770 --> 01:14:45,981 The tactics                          of the defense counsel               are an outrage 1603 01:14:46,023 --> 01:14:47,816 on the dignity                       of these proceedings. 1604 01:14:47,858 --> 01:14:49,651 He is systematically                 turning this trial 1605 01:14:49,693 --> 01:14:51,737 into a court-martial                 of Commander Queeg. 1606 01:14:51,778 --> 01:14:53,322 [Greenwald]                          Please the court, 1607 01:14:53,363 --> 01:14:55,324 the trial counsel believes          she has a prima facie case 1608 01:14:55,365 --> 01:14:57,951 based on the report                  of two psychiatrists. 1609 01:14:57,993 --> 01:14:59,620 Now, I believe it is                up to the court 1610 01:14:59,661 --> 01:15:02,164 and not                              two shore-bound doctors,            however brilliant, 1611 01:15:02,206 --> 01:15:05,417 to decide whether                    the captain of the   Caine             was mentally well enough 1612 01:15:05,459 --> 01:15:10,047 to retain his self-control          and his post during a cyclone. 1613 01:15:10,088 --> 01:15:12,049 The objection is overruled. 1614 01:15:12,090 --> 01:15:14,051 The witness                          will answer the question. 1615 01:15:14,092 --> 01:15:18,013 Okay, well, here's the story        on that particular slander. 1616 01:15:19,014 --> 01:15:20,807 Stilwell                            was a-a-at the helm, 1617 01:15:20,849 --> 01:15:23,268 a dreamy, unreliable man 1618 01:15:23,310 --> 01:15:26,813 who failed to warn me               that we were coming around          the full 360 degrees. 1619 01:15:26,855 --> 01:15:30,108 I was the one who recognized        what was happening,                 reversed course immediately. 1620 01:15:30,150 --> 01:15:34,071 We did not go over the tow line.   I-It parted in the tight turn. 1621 01:15:34,112 --> 01:15:37,407 Weren't you reprimanding            a petty officer named Urban         at length 1622 01:15:37,449 --> 01:15:42,496 for having his shirttail out        while your ship was                 turning 360 degrees, sir? 1623 01:15:42,538 --> 01:15:44,540 Who told you that?                   Keith again?            Answer the question, please. 1624 01:15:44,581 --> 01:15:45,999 It's a malicious lie,                of course. 1625 01:15:46,041 --> 01:15:48,043 Was Urban on the bridge?                         Yes. 1626 01:15:48,085 --> 01:15:50,837 Was his shirttail out?                   Yes, and I reprimanded him.          Took all of two seconds. 1627 01:15:50,879 --> 01:15:52,839 It's not like I dwell                on these sort of things. 1628 01:15:52,881 --> 01:15:54,967 But now that you've brought          the shirttail thing up, 1629 01:15:55,008 --> 01:15:58,887 I'd like to point out                that Ensign Keith,                   a department head, 1630 01:15:58,929 --> 01:16:01,557 was responsible                      for enforcing                        uniform regulations 1631 01:16:01,598 --> 01:16:03,850 and completely screwed               the whole job up. 1632 01:16:03,892 --> 01:16:06,853 When I took over the ship,           it was like some                     third-world navy, 1633 01:16:06,895 --> 01:16:09,898 and I bored down on Keith            to look out for things               like shirttails. 1634 01:16:09,940 --> 01:16:13,277 And, well, maybe                     that's one of the reasons            that he hates me so much 1635 01:16:13,318 --> 01:16:18,407 and insists on circulating           this nonsense about me               cutting the tow line. 1636 01:16:18,448 --> 01:16:21,201 Did you drop a yellow dye marker   off the Straits of Hormuz? 1637 01:16:21,243 --> 01:16:23,453 No, I, uh-- Maybe.                   I-I don't recall. 1638 01:16:23,495 --> 01:16:25,581 Do you recall                       what your first mission was? 1639 01:16:25,622 --> 01:16:29,751 Well, uh, to detect                  and destroy mines                    in the Straits of Hormuz. 1640 01:16:29,793 --> 01:16:31,878 And did you fulfill                 that mission?                                            Yes. 1641 01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:34,339 So why did you drop                  the dye marker?         I'm not saying that I did. 1642 01:16:34,381 --> 01:16:37,342 But if I had,                       it would have been to mark          a mine that we had detected. 1643 01:16:37,384 --> 01:16:41,388 Commander,                           didn't you drop the marker           and retire at high speed, 1644 01:16:41,430 --> 01:16:44,224 taking the   Caine                     out of its assigned                  sweep pattern? 1645 01:16:44,266 --> 01:16:48,604 Now, didn't you do this             to avoid contact with               a dangerous underwater mine 1646 01:16:48,645 --> 01:16:50,355 and leave it                         for another ship                    to handle? 1647 01:16:50,397 --> 01:16:52,441 The question is abusive             and flagrantly leading. 1648 01:16:52,482 --> 01:16:56,361 I withdraw my last question         on account of                       the witness's dim memory. 1649 01:16:56,403 --> 01:16:58,530 I'll proceed                        to more recent events. 1650 01:16:58,572 --> 01:17:01,074 [officer] Court desires              to question the witness. 1651 01:17:01,116 --> 01:17:02,951 Commander Queeg, 1652 01:17:02,993 --> 01:17:05,537 in view of the implications         in this line of testimony, 1653 01:17:05,579 --> 01:17:07,956 I urge you                          to search your memory               for correct answers. 1654 01:17:07,998 --> 01:17:10,334 Well, I certainly                    am trying, sir. 1655 01:17:10,375 --> 01:17:13,920 These are very fine points,         and I've had a number of arduous   missions since that storm. 1656 01:17:13,962 --> 01:17:17,049 And th-then there's,                well, all of this business. 1657 01:17:17,090 --> 01:17:18,717 I appreciate that. 1658 01:17:18,759 --> 01:17:21,553 But it will facilitate justice      if you can remember enough 1659 01:17:21,595 --> 01:17:24,306 to give a few definite answers      on points of fact. 1660 01:17:24,348 --> 01:17:29,019 First of all, did you depart        your assigned sector                due to equipment problems? 1661 01:17:31,063 --> 01:17:33,482 Yes. Yes.                           Okay-- Okay, I-I remember. 1662 01:17:33,523 --> 01:17:35,776 Yes,                                that was the case here. 1663 01:17:35,817 --> 01:17:39,821 So you departed the pattern         rather than try to repair           or troubleshoot the equipment? 1664 01:17:39,863 --> 01:17:42,991 But... [scoffs]                     ...an active mine                   had been detected. 1665 01:17:43,033 --> 01:17:47,079 Is that why you dropped             the dye marker?                     There was a safety factor. 1666 01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:51,249 Uh, it didn't make sense to me      to try and detonate mines           using defective gear. 1667 01:17:51,291 --> 01:17:54,836 But I wanted every vessel           in the area to know exactly         where that mine was, 1668 01:17:54,878 --> 01:17:56,838 s-so I marked it. 1669 01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:59,341 Now, if I erred on the side         of being overcautious,              well, I-I'm sorry. 1670 01:17:59,383 --> 01:18:03,136 But then again, sir,                I don't think you can err           on the side of safety. 1671 01:18:03,178 --> 01:18:05,055 Did you have the conn?                                   Well, no. 1672 01:18:05,097 --> 01:18:07,724 A-As I recall,                       Maryk was on the conn. 1673 01:18:07,766 --> 01:18:11,186 And I also recall                   warning him not to stray            too far out of formation. 1674 01:18:11,228 --> 01:18:16,775 But we did need to leave room       for other ships to come in          and deal with that mine. 1675 01:18:16,817 --> 01:18:19,069 Well, how much room?                I don't remember exactly. 1676 01:18:19,111 --> 01:18:22,739 I-I just know that                  we had strayed outside              of our assigned sector, 1677 01:18:22,781 --> 01:18:26,034 and then, well,                     I pulled him aside                  and admonished him. 1678 01:18:26,076 --> 01:18:29,204 Didn't you direct him               to return to station                immediately? 1679 01:18:29,246 --> 01:18:30,831 Sir, everything                      was happening very fast. 1680 01:18:30,872 --> 01:18:33,375 We had to mark the area             and then get out of there 1681 01:18:33,417 --> 01:18:36,336 and make room for other ships       to come into the area,              as I said. 1682 01:18:36,378 --> 01:18:39,089 These are your factual              recollections, Commander? 1683 01:18:39,131 --> 01:18:41,383 Those are the facts, sir. 1684 01:18:43,051 --> 01:18:44,428 Resume your examination. 1685 01:18:44,469 --> 01:18:46,096 Commander,                          did you make it a practice 1686 01:18:46,138 --> 01:18:48,807 to retire to your room              during minesweeping operations? 1687 01:18:48,849 --> 01:18:51,727 Well, that's                         an insulting question.               The answer is no. 1688 01:18:51,768 --> 01:18:54,104 I had to be on                       every side of that bridge            at all times. 1689 01:18:54,146 --> 01:18:59,025 I-I had Maryk as a navigator        and Keith as an officer of          the deck at general quarters. 1690 01:18:59,067 --> 01:19:01,737 Invariably, they'd squirrel          over to the same side                of the bridge 1691 01:19:01,778 --> 01:19:05,157 and I'd have to be captain,         navigator and officer of            the deck all rolled up into one. 1692 01:19:05,198 --> 01:19:07,951 That's why I had to go               from one side of the bridge          to the other all the time. 1693 01:19:07,993 --> 01:19:10,162 And that's the truth. 1694 01:19:10,203 --> 01:19:12,748 I don't care how many damn lies     have been told about me             in this courtroom. 1695 01:19:12,789 --> 01:19:14,958 The court                            will question the witness. 1696 01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:18,837 Sir, the witness                    is obviously and understandably     agitated by this ordeal 1697 01:19:18,879 --> 01:19:21,590 and I request a recess               to give him                          a breathing space. 1698 01:19:21,631 --> 01:19:23,884 I'm not agitated                     in the least. 1699 01:19:23,925 --> 01:19:26,094 I'm glad to answer                   any and all questions. 1700 01:19:26,136 --> 01:19:28,054 [marbles clacking] 1701 01:19:28,096 --> 01:19:31,099 In fact,                            I-I demand the opportunity          to set the record straight 1702 01:19:31,141 --> 01:19:35,645 for any derogatory statements       made about me in testimony          that's gone before. 1703 01:19:35,687 --> 01:19:39,232 I didn't make a single mistake      in the 15 months                    I was aboard the   Caine, 1704 01:19:39,274 --> 01:19:41,193 and I-I can prove it. 1705 01:19:41,234 --> 01:19:43,528 I've had a spotless record          up until now 1706 01:19:43,570 --> 01:19:45,655 and I don't want it                  being discredited 1707 01:19:45,697 --> 01:19:49,451 by these lies and distortions       told by these disloyal officers. 1708 01:19:49,493 --> 01:19:52,662 Commander,                           would you like a recess? 1709 01:19:52,704 --> 01:19:53,747 Certainly not. 1710 01:19:53,789 --> 01:19:56,666 In fact, if I had                   any say in this, 1711 01:19:56,708 --> 01:19:58,960 I would ask                         there be no recess. 1712 01:19:59,002 --> 01:20:02,130 [marbles continue clacking]                              [officer]                            Very well. 1713 01:20:03,048 --> 01:20:05,175 I simply want to ask, 1714 01:20:05,217 --> 01:20:08,553 if the performance                  of these two officers               was so unspeakably bad, 1715 01:20:08,595 --> 01:20:10,388 why did you tolerate it? 1716 01:20:10,430 --> 01:20:13,475 Why didn't you beach them           or rotate them                      out of your command? 1717 01:20:15,852 --> 01:20:19,981 Well, this is gonna sound           strange to you, sir, but, 1718 01:20:20,023 --> 01:20:24,778 well, the truth is                  I'm-I'm a softhearted man 1719 01:20:24,820 --> 01:20:26,822 and not many people                 know that. 1720 01:20:26,863 --> 01:20:29,491 But I wanted to keep                 them under-- under eye 1721 01:20:29,533 --> 01:20:32,619 to try and train them up,            make them good officers. 1722 01:20:32,661 --> 01:20:36,665 L-Last thing I wanted to do         was wreck their careers. 1723 01:20:36,706 --> 01:20:41,253 A concern they certainly            didn't share for me.                E-Either one of them. 1724 01:20:44,214 --> 01:20:46,508 Commander, on the morning           of the 18th of December, 1725 01:20:46,550 --> 01:20:48,385 the exact moment                    you were relieved of command, 1726 01:20:48,426 --> 01:20:50,011 was the   Caine                       in the last extremity? 1727 01:20:50,053 --> 01:20:52,806 Certainly not.              Was it in grave danger              at that moment? 1728 01:20:52,848 --> 01:20:55,517 Absolutely not.                      I was in complete control            of the ship. 1729 01:20:55,559 --> 01:20:58,019 And did you inform                  any of your other officers          of your intention 1730 01:20:58,061 --> 01:21:00,355 to change course,                    come north at ten o'clock, 1731 01:21:00,397 --> 01:21:02,858 15 minutes                           after Lieutenant Maryk               relieved you of command? 1732 01:21:02,899 --> 01:21:05,569 Yes, yes.                            I made that statement                and that was my intention. 1733 01:21:05,610 --> 01:21:09,447 Then Lieutenant Maryk's decision   to come north was not               a panicky, irrational blunder. 1734 01:21:09,489 --> 01:21:11,950 His panicky blunder                  was relieving me. 1735 01:21:11,992 --> 01:21:14,536 I kept him from making               any disastrous mistakes              thereafter. 1736 01:21:14,578 --> 01:21:16,705 I wasn't trying                      to vindicate myself. 1737 01:21:16,746 --> 01:21:20,333 Commander, have you seen            Lieutenant Maryk's medical log? 1738 01:21:20,375 --> 01:21:22,377 Yes. [chuckles] 1739 01:21:22,419 --> 01:21:26,006 Yes, I've read                       that interesting document.           Yes, sir, I have. 1740 01:21:26,047 --> 01:21:29,050 Biggest conglomeration               of lies and distortions              and half-truths 1741 01:21:29,092 --> 01:21:30,635 I've ever seen. 1742 01:21:30,677 --> 01:21:32,345 But I'm extremely glad               that you've asked 1743 01:21:32,387 --> 01:21:35,181 'cause I wanna                       get my side of it                    all on the record. 1744 01:21:35,223 --> 01:21:36,641 Please. 1745 01:21:36,683 --> 01:21:39,060 Please give us your version         of any comments 1746 01:21:39,102 --> 01:21:41,062 factually related                   to episodes in the log. 1747 01:21:41,104 --> 01:21:43,732 Okay, well,                          starting right with                  that strawberry business. 1748 01:21:43,773 --> 01:21:45,901 The real truth                       is that I was betrayed, 1749 01:21:45,942 --> 01:21:48,028 d-double-crossed                     by my executive officer 1750 01:21:48,069 --> 01:21:50,614 and this precious gentleman,        Mr. Keith, 1751 01:21:50,655 --> 01:21:52,574 who between them                     corrupted my wardroom 1752 01:21:52,616 --> 01:21:54,618 so I was one man                     against the whole ship. 1753 01:21:54,659 --> 01:21:56,578 No support                           from my officers, okay? 1754 01:21:56,620 --> 01:21:59,039 [chuckles] Now, you take            that strawberry business. 1755 01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:03,460 Why, if that wasn't a case of       outright conspiracy to protect      a malefactor from justice. 1756 01:22:03,501 --> 01:22:05,712 Maryk carefully leaves out          the little fact 1757 01:22:05,754 --> 01:22:09,215 that I had conclusively proved      by a process of elimination 1758 01:22:09,257 --> 01:22:11,092 that someone                        had a key to the fridge. 1759 01:22:11,134 --> 01:22:14,596 Now, he says the messmen            ate the strawberries. 1760 01:22:14,638 --> 01:22:16,598 But if I wanted                      to take the trouble, 1761 01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:19,476 I could prove to this court         categorically                       that they couldn't have. 1762 01:22:19,517 --> 01:22:21,436 I-It's the water business           all over again. 1763 01:22:21,478 --> 01:22:24,439 Like when the crew                  was taking showers                  seven times a day 1764 01:22:24,481 --> 01:22:28,234 and I tried to initiate             the simplest principles             of water conservation. 1765 01:22:28,276 --> 01:22:30,779 But, oh, no, Mr. Maryk,             the hero of the crew, 1766 01:22:30,820 --> 01:22:33,365 wanted to go right on               coddling them. 1767 01:22:33,406 --> 01:22:36,117 Well, you take                      that coffee business. 1768 01:22:36,159 --> 01:22:37,953 Well-- No. 1769 01:22:37,994 --> 01:22:39,788 [laughs]                            No. Excuse me. 1770 01:22:39,829 --> 01:22:42,248 Sorry, sir. 1771 01:22:42,290 --> 01:22:44,960 Strawberry thing first.             Okay. 1772 01:22:46,252 --> 01:22:48,463 Everything hinged                   on a thorough search                for the key, 1773 01:22:48,505 --> 01:22:52,133 and that's when Maryk               and, as usual, with help            from Mr. Keith, fudged it. 1774 01:22:52,175 --> 01:22:54,844 Went through                        a lot of phony motions,             didn't prove anything. 1775 01:22:54,886 --> 01:22:57,514 Like thinking                       that the burning out                of the coffee makers, 1776 01:22:57,555 --> 01:22:59,432 which were government property, 1777 01:22:59,474 --> 01:23:01,434 was some kind of joke. 1778 01:23:01,476 --> 01:23:03,979 And that was                        the attitude of everybody           from Maryk on down. 1779 01:23:04,020 --> 01:23:06,564 No-- No sense                       of responsibility. 1780 01:23:06,606 --> 01:23:09,234 And I kept emphasizing              over and over 1781 01:23:09,275 --> 01:23:12,654 that all of these things            were gonna have to be               accounted for. 1782 01:23:12,696 --> 01:23:14,823 [groans]                            It was a constant battle. 1783 01:23:14,864 --> 01:23:16,574 Always--                            Always the same thing. 1784 01:23:16,616 --> 01:23:19,369 Maryk and Keith                     undermining my authority,           always arguing. 1785 01:23:19,411 --> 01:23:23,832 Now, I wanted--                     I wanted to train Keith up          to be a good officer, 1786 01:23:23,873 --> 01:23:26,501 but I was stabbed                   in the back by-- 1787 01:23:29,879 --> 01:23:31,423 Well... 1788 01:23:32,298 --> 01:23:34,009 [chuckles] 1789 01:23:34,050 --> 01:23:39,014 Well, I-- I think I've covered      that strawberry business. 1790 01:23:39,055 --> 01:23:41,141 And, oh, yes,                       the mess account business. 1791 01:23:41,182 --> 01:23:44,811 Well, I had to                      watch them like a hawk,             and believe me, I did. 1792 01:23:44,853 --> 01:23:47,355 [chuckles] Didn't sneak             any fast ones by me. 1793 01:23:47,397 --> 01:23:49,357 It wasn't for                        a lack of trying. 1794 01:23:49,399 --> 01:23:51,985 Instead of paying attention         to their accounts                   and their inventories, 1795 01:23:52,027 --> 01:23:53,862 which I would have to go            over again and again-- 1796 01:23:53,903 --> 01:23:56,698 Always a few pennies short          or a couple dollars over. 1797 01:23:56,740 --> 01:24:01,578 But what do they care about         keeping accurate records?           Let the captain worry about it. 1798 01:24:01,619 --> 01:24:03,872 Well, by God, I did. 1799 01:24:03,913 --> 01:24:08,585 I-I defy anyone to find             a single wardroom mess statement   or ship service inventory 1800 01:24:08,626 --> 01:24:11,171 filed aboard the USS   Caine          while I was captain 1801 01:24:11,212 --> 01:24:13,631 that had a mistake                  of a single, solitary cent. 1802 01:24:13,673 --> 01:24:18,136 And by that, I mean, I defy         a certified public accountant       to do it. Okay? 1803 01:24:18,178 --> 01:24:19,804 Well, what else? 1804 01:24:19,846 --> 01:24:21,973 [muttering]                         There's so much bullshit 1805 01:24:22,015 --> 01:24:25,018 in that precious log                 of Mr. Maryk's. 1806 01:24:25,060 --> 01:24:28,521 Oh, yes! [laughs]                   Th-The movie business. 1807 01:24:28,563

The movie operator, who had         a disrespectful manner anyways, 1810 01:24:37,363 --> 01:24:41,409 started the movie                   without waiting for the arrival     of the commanding officer. 1811 01:24:41,451 --> 01:24:43,912 Out of that whole ship's crew,      officers and men, 1812 01:24:43,953 --> 01:24:48,750 did one person stand up             and call a halt or even notice      that the captain wasn't present? 1813 01:24:48,792 --> 01:24:51,920 I missed those movies               more than they did. 1814 01:24:52,962 --> 01:24:55,757 I banned them,                      and, by God, I'd do it again. 1815 01:24:55,799 --> 01:24:59,344 Wh-What was I supposed to do,       start issuing them all              letters of commendation 1816 01:24:59,385 --> 01:25:02,931 for this gratuitous insult          to the commanding officer? 1817 01:25:02,972 --> 01:25:04,099 [laughs] 1818 01:25:04,140 --> 01:25:06,601 It's not like                       I took it personal. 1819 01:25:06,643 --> 01:25:10,105 Uh, it's the principle.             The principle of respect            for the command. 1820 01:25:10,146 --> 01:25:13,942 That principle was dead             when I came aboard that ship        and I brought it to life. 1821 01:25:13,983 --> 01:25:15,985 And I nagged and I bitched          and I hollered, 1822 01:25:16,027 --> 01:25:18,613 and, by God, I made it stick        while I was captain! 1823 01:25:20,156 --> 01:25:22,492 Uh, and as I-- as I say, 1824 01:25:22,534 --> 01:25:24,786 it wasn't                           just the coffee makers. 1825 01:25:24,828 --> 01:25:26,496 It was a matter of respect. 1826 01:25:26,538 --> 01:25:29,082 When I ask a sailor a question,     I want a straight answer. 1827 01:25:29,124 --> 01:25:31,334 Nobody's gonna get away             with this shifty evasion, 1828 01:25:31,376 --> 01:25:34,420 if I have to hold                   a court of inquiry                  for a week. 1829 01:25:34,462 --> 01:25:37,215 What do I care                      about strawberries?                 It's a question of principle. 1830 01:25:37,257 --> 01:25:39,175 Stealing is stealing. 1831 01:25:39,759 --> 01:25:41,636 And on my ship-- 1832 01:25:45,682 --> 01:25:49,644 Well, it's not like we got          a lot of nice treats anyway. 1833 01:25:49,686 --> 01:25:53,815 Uh... if we ever did                get something pleasant              once in a blue moon, 1834 01:25:53,857 --> 01:25:55,984 like--                              like strawberries, well, 1835 01:25:56,025 --> 01:25:59,070 it was outrageous that              I couldn't have a second helping   if I felt like it. 1836 01:25:59,112 --> 01:26:01,489 I wasn't gonna let them             get away with it, and I didn't. 1837 01:26:01,531 --> 01:26:05,493 By God, I never                     let anything like that              happen on that ship again! 1838 01:26:14,335 --> 01:26:16,337 [mutters] 1839 01:26:16,379 --> 01:26:18,214 As I say, I-- 1840 01:26:18,256 --> 01:26:19,465 Okay, um... 1841 01:26:20,383 --> 01:26:23,678 H-How many of these things           have I covered? 1842 01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:27,223 I-- I can only roughly               do this by memory. 1843 01:26:27,265 --> 01:26:29,976 If you ask me                        specific questions,                  I'll-- 1844 01:26:30,018 --> 01:26:33,229 I'll tackle those                    one by one by one. 1845 01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:36,858 That won't be necessary, sir. 1846 01:26:37,984 --> 01:26:39,986 That was very thorough. 1847 01:26:41,029 --> 01:26:42,530 Thank you. 1848 01:26:47,327 --> 01:26:51,206 I draw                               the court's attention                to Exhibit 12. 1849 01:26:54,083 --> 01:26:56,211 Commander, I show you                an authenticated copy 1850 01:26:56,252 -->

01:29:57,433 --> 01:29:59,644 I'm-- I'm at a loss 1889 01:29:59,685 --> 01:30:02,522 to discuss the case                  the defense has presented. 1890 01:30:03,564 --> 01:30:05,483 I have nothing to refute. 1891 01:30:05,525 --> 01:30:06,901 It's no case at all. 1892 01:30:06,943 --> 01:30:08,528 It has nothing to do 1893 01:30:08,569 --> 01:30:11,239 with the charge                      or the specification. 1894 01:30:13,032 --> 01:30:16,411 The defense counsel's                very first question                  in this trial 1895 01:30:17,620 --> 01:30:20,498 was, "Commander, have you           ever heard the expression, 1896 01:30:20,540 --> 01:30:22,917 Old Yellowstain?" 1897 01:30:22,959 --> 01:30:27,046 That was the key                     to his entire strategy, 1898 01:30:27,088 --> 01:30:30,007 which was simply to twist            the proceedings around 1899 01:30:30,049 --> 01:30:34,262 so that the accused                  would become not Maryk,              but Commander Queeg. 1900 01:30:34,303 --> 01:30:38,015 He has dragged out                   every possible vicious 1901 01:30:38,057 --> 01:30:41,936 and malicious criticism              of the commander                     from the other witnesses 1902 01:30:41,978 --> 01:30:46,732 and forced Captain Queeg            to defend himself against them      in open court, 1903 01:30:46,774 --> 01:30:48,609 on the spur of the moment, 1904 01:30:48,651 --> 01:30:50,570 without advice of counsel, 1905 01:30:50,611 --> 01:30:53,239 without any                          of the normal privileges             and safeguards 1906 01:30:53,281 --> 01:30:56,325 of an accused man                   under naval law. 1907 01:30:56,367 --> 01:30:59,787 Can this court possibly             endorse the precedent 1908 01:30:59,829 --> 01:31:04,584 that a captain who doesn't          please his underlings               can be deposed by them? 1909 01:31:04,625 --> 01:31:06,919 And then that the captain's         only recourse afterward 1910 01:31:06,961 --> 01:31:11,799 is to be placed                      at a witness stand                   in a general court-martial 1911 01:31:11,841 --> 01:31:13,968 to answer                            every petty gripe 1912 01:31:14,010 --> 01:31:16,262 and justify                          all his command decisions 1913 01:31:16,304 --> 01:31:20,725 to a hostile lawyer                  taking the part of                   his insubordinate inferiors? 1914 01:31:20,766 --> 01:31:24,645 Such a precedent is nothing         but a blank check for mutiny. 1915 01:31:24,687 --> 01:31:28,232 It is the absolute destruction      of the chain of command. 1916 01:31:30,985 --> 01:31:34,155 However,                             all this doesn't worry me. 1917 01:31:35,031 --> 01:31:36,991 I am confident 1918 01:31:37,033 --> 01:31:40,620 that this court                      hasn't been impressed                by such aggressive tactics. 1919 01:31:40,661 --> 01:31:43,080 I know that the court                is going to reject 1920 01:31:43,122 --> 01:31:45,333 this cynical play                    on its emotions, 1921 01:31:45,374 --> 01:31:50,171 this... insult                       to its intelligence, 1922 01:31:50,213 --> 01:31:53,382 and find the specification           proven by the facts. 1923 01:31:55,384 --> 01:31:57,386 I've only this to say. 1924 01:31:58,387 --> 01:32:00,681 Whatever the verdict                 on the accused, I-- 1925 01:32:01,766 --> 01:32:04,352 I formally recommend                that Defense Counsel Greenwald 1926 01:32:04,393 --> 01:32:06,187 be censured by this court 1927 01:32:06,229 --> 01:32:08,397 for conduct unbecoming               an officer of the Navy 1928 01:32:08,439 --> 01:32:11,567 and that this reprimand              be made part of his record. 1929 01:32:17,532 --> 01:32:20,576 Defense counsel.                     Closing argument? 1930 01:32:25,873 --> 01:32:27,208 Please the court, 1931 01:32:28,543 --> 01:32:32,797 I undertook                          the defense of the accused           very reluctantly 1932 01:32:32,838 --> 01:32:37,593 and only at the urging of           the judge advocate that no other   defense counsel was available. 1933 01:32:38,553 --> 01:32:40,388 I was reluctant 1934 01:32:40,429 --> 01:32:43,808 because I knew                       that the only possible               form of defense 1935 01:32:43,849 --> 01:32:47,812 was to prove                        the mental incompetence             of an officer of the Navy. 1936 01:32:47,853 --> 01:32:53,317 It has been                         the most unpleasant duty            I have ever had to perform. 1937 01:32:54,318 --> 01:32:57,363 However,                            once having undertaken it, 1938 01:32:57,405 --> 01:32:59,532 I have done my best                  to win an acquittal. 1939 01:32:59,574 --> 01:33:03,369 I thought this was my duty,         both as defense counsel
