3
00:00:25.734 --> 00:00:29.320
And what's the plan?
It will only
confuse you.

4
00:00:29.362 --> 00:00:32.115
Listen, I can't be
any more confused
than I already am.

5
00:00:32.156 --> 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
looking forward to
twisting the Navy's arm.

9
00:00:43.251 --> 00:00:46.087
Why? What, are you
scared of the brass?
Worse.

10
00:00:46.129 --> 00:00:47.839
Respectful.

11
00:00:47.881 --> 00:00:49.841
You know, sometimes I think
the Navy's a master plan

12
00:00:49.883 --> 00:00:52.719
designed by geniuses
for execution by idiots.

13
00:00:52.761 --> 00:00:55.263
Where did you hear that?
I couldn't have just
made that up myself?

14
00:00:55.305 --> 00:00:57.390
Could have made up
the Gettysburg Address too.
Where'd you hear it?

15
00:00:57.432 --> 00:00:59.684
That's one of
Tom Keefer's wisecracks.
Oh.

16
00:00:59.726 --> 00:01:01.519
Thomas Keefer,
your novelist friend.
Yeah.

17
00:01:01.561 --> 00:01:03.855
He's got the sharpest mind
on the ship.
He's sharp, all right.

18
00:01:03.897 --> 00:01:05.690
He knows everything Queeg did.

19
00:01:06.316 --> 00:01:08.068
I'm sure he does.

20
00:01:16.743 --> 00:01:19.996
The trial counsel
will state the charge
and specification.

21
00:01:20.789 --> 00:01:23.083
Charge one, mutiny.

22
00:01:23.124 --> 00:01:26.711
Violation of Article 94,
Uniform Code
of Military Justice.

23
00:01:26.753 --> 00:01:29.506
Specification: In that
Lieutenant Stephen Maryk,

24
00:01:29.547 --> 00:01:33.426
while serving
as executive officer
aboard the USS   Caine,

25
00:01:33.468 --> 00:01:38.181
did on December 18th, 2022,
commit an act of mutiny.

26
00:01:38.223 --> 00:01:41.893
Lieutenant Maryk willfully,
and without proper authority,

27
00:01:41.935 --> 00:01:44.354
and without
justifiable cause

28
00:01:44.395 --> 00:01:47.273
did relieve from duty
Lieutenant Commander
Philip Francis Queeg,

29
00:01:47.315 --> 00:01:50.110
then serving
as the duly appointed
commanding officer

30
00:01:50.151 --> 00:01:51.485
of the USS   Caine,

31
00:01:51.527 --> 00:01:54.280
who was then
in lawful exercise
of his command.

32
00:01:55.156 --> 00:01:56.574
How do you plead?

33
00:01:57.158 --> 00:01:58.326
Not guilty.

34
00:01:58.368 --> 00:02:00.161
Defense will stipulate
that Lieutenant Maryk

35
00:02:00.203 --> 00:02:02.580
was serving
as executive officer
aboard the USS   Caine,

36
00:02:02.622 --> 00:02:04.332
18 December, 2022.

37
00:02:04.374 --> 00:02:08.086
Trial counsel,
you may call
your first witness.

38
00:02:09.002 --> 00:02:11.506
Call Lieutenant Commander Queeg.

39
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:25.061
Do you solemnly swear
that the evidence you give
shall be the truth,

40
00:02:25.103 --> 00:02:27.480
the whole truth
and nothing but the truth,
so help you God?

41
00:02:27.522 --> 00:02:29.149
I do.

42
00:02:29.190 --> 00:02:30.650
Be seated.

43
00:02:36.531 --> 00:02:38.825
[prosecutor]
State your name, rank
and present position.

44
00:02:38.867 --> 00:02:42.495
Philip Francis Queeg,
Lieutenant Commander,
United States Navy,

45
00:02:42.537 --> 00:02:46.332
currently attached
to Headquarters, Fifth Fleet,
awaiting reassignment.

46
00:02:47.041 --> 00:02:49.627
Do you recognize
the accused?

47
00:02:49.668 --> 00:02:51.588
[Queeg] Yes.

48
00:02:51.629 --> 00:02:54.132
Lieutenant Maryk,
US Navy.

49
00:02:54.174 --> 00:02:58.553
Commander Queeg,
on December 18th, 2022,

50
00:02:58.595 --> 00:03:00.471
were you in command
of the USS   Caine?

51
00:03:00.513 --> 00:03:02.015
Yes, I was.

52
00:03:02.515 --> 00:03:04.767
What type of vessel
is the   Caine?

53
00:03:04.809 --> 00:03:08.980
Well, her official
designation is an MCM--
mine countermeasures ship.

54
00:03:09.022 --> 00:03:11.065
And what is
her primary mission?

55
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   Caine?

61
00:03:26.915 --> 00:03:28.958
Yes.

62
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:30.460
By whom?

63
00:03:30.501 --> 00:03:32.503
The accused,
Lieutenant Maryk.

64
00:03:32.545 --> 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 --> 00:13:34.647
Commander Queeg will be called
as a witness for the defense.

266
00:13:35.314 --> 00:13:36.982
For the defense?

267
00:13:37.024 --> 00:13:38.734
Yes, sir.

268
00:13:40.361 --> 00:13:42.530
You're excused,
subject to recall.

269
00:13:43.322 --> 00:13:44.657
Thank you, sir.

270
00:13:44.698 --> 00:13:46.826
[prosecutor]
Call Lieutenant Thomas Keefer.

271
00:13:51.664 --> 00:13:53.790
State your name, rank
and present station.

272
00:13:53.833 --> 00:13:55.835
Thomas Keefer, Lieutenant,
United States Navy,

273
00:13:55.876 --> 00:13:58.170
communication officer
of the USS   Caine.

274
00:13:58.212 --> 00:14:00.714
If you recognize
the accused,
state his name.

275
00:14:00.756 --> 00:14:04.009
Lieutenant Steve Maryk,
executive officer
of the   Caine.

276
00:14:04.051 --> 00:14:06.387
What is your occupation
in civilian life?

277
00:14:06.428 --> 00:14:08.305
I'm a writer.

278
00:14:08.347 --> 00:14:10.724
And has any of your work
been published?

279
00:14:10.766 --> 00:14:14.436
A number of short stories
have been published, yes, ma'am.

280
00:14:14.478 --> 00:14:18.732
Did you do any writing
in your spare time
while in service?

281
00:14:18.774 --> 00:14:21.610
Yes, I have completed
half a war novel.

282
00:14:21.652 --> 00:14:23.445
[chuckles]
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 --> 00:18:39.034
[clears throat]

381
00:18:39.076 --> 00:18:42.538
Junius Urban,
Quartermaster Third Class,
US Navy

382
00:18:42.579 --> 00:18:44.581
of the USS   Caine.

383
00:18:46.542 --> 00:18:48.627
Do you recognize
the accused?

384
00:18:49.461 --> 00:18:50.712
Ma'am?

385
00:18:50.754 --> 00:18:52.965
Do you recognize
the accused?

386
00:18:54.508 --> 00:18:55.926
M-Ma'am?

387
00:18:57.094 --> 00:19:00.597
Do you recognize
the officer
at that table?

388
00:19:01.598 --> 00:19:04.226
[Urban]
Wh-Which one?
There are two.

389
00:19:04.268 --> 00:19:06.562
Name the one you recognize.

390
00:19:07.396 --> 00:19:09.106
Th-That's the exec.

391
00:19:09.148 --> 00:19:11.108
What's his name?

392
00:19:11.150 --> 00:19:12.651
M-Mr. Maryk.

393
00:19:12.693 --> 00:19:14.945
What is he
the exec of?

394
00:19:15.737 --> 00:19:16.989
The-- The ship.

395
00:19:17.030 --> 00:19:20.325
Name the ship.
The   Caine.

396
00:19:20.367 --> 00:19:22.953
Thank you.
Sorry.

397
00:19:22.995 --> 00:19:25.706
Urban,
on December 18th, 2022,

398
00:19:25.747 --> 00:19:27.958
were you serving
aboard the   Caine
in your present capacity?

399
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:30.252
Is that
the day it happened?

400
00:19:30.294 --> 00:19:32.421
The day
what happened?

401
00:19:32.462 --> 00:19:34.173
I don't know.

402
00:19:34.214 --> 00:19:36.967
That was the day
of the cyclone, yes.

403
00:19:37.009 --> 00:19:39.178
Sure.
I-- I was aboard.

404
00:19:40.345 --> 00:19:41.847
Were you
in the wheelhouse

405
00:19:41.889 --> 00:19:44.516
when Mr. Maryk
relieved Captain Queeg?

406
00:19:44.558 --> 00:19:46.059
Yes.

407
00:19:46.101 --> 00:19:48.103
Who else
was in the wheelhouse
at the time?

408
00:19:48.145 --> 00:19:53.734
Well, um, there was--
there was the captain
and M-Mr. Maryk.

409
00:19:54.568 --> 00:19:55.861
Yes?

410
00:19:55.903 --> 00:19:57.779
Th-Th-The helmsman.

411
00:19:57.821 --> 00:19:59.948
His name?
Stilwell.

412
00:19:59.990 --> 00:20:01.033
Who else?

413
00:20:01.074 --> 00:20:02.659
The officer of the day.
His name?

414
00:20:02.701 --> 00:20:03.994
Mr. Keith.

415
00:20:04.036 --> 00:20:06.413
What were you doing
in the wheelhouse?

416
00:20:06.455 --> 00:20:08.707
I had the watch.

417
00:20:08.749 --> 00:20:10.959
Urban,
describe in your own words

418
00:20:11.001 --> 00:20:13.712
how Lieutenant Maryk
relieved the captain.

419
00:20:16.340 --> 00:20:17.883
H-He said...

420
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:21.553
"I relieve you," ma'am.

421
00:20:21.595 --> 00:20:23.889
What was happening
at the time?

422
00:20:23.931 --> 00:20:27.100
Well, the ship
was rolling very bad.
It was an ass-kicker storm.

423
00:20:28.101 --> 00:20:30.520
Urban, describe everything
that happened

424
00:20:30.562 --> 00:20:34.650
in the ten minutes
before Captain Queeg
was relieved.

425
00:20:34.691 --> 00:20:37.569
Well, li-like I say,

426
00:20:37.611 --> 00:20:40.072
the ship
was rolling very bad.

427
00:20:41.198 --> 00:20:42.741
That's all?

428
00:20:42.783 --> 00:20:45.702
Did the captain say anything?
Did the exec say anything?

429
00:20:45.744 --> 00:20:47.579
Did the officer of the day
say anything?

430
00:20:47.621 --> 00:20:50.249
Or did the ship
just roll in silence
for ten minutes?

431
00:20:50.290 --> 00:20:52.417
Well, ma'am,
it was a cyclone.

432
00:20:52.459 --> 00:20:57.047
Petty Officer Urban,
you are under oath.

433
00:20:57.089 --> 00:20:58.757
W-Well...

434
00:21:00.092 --> 00:21:03.679
I-I think the captain
wanted to come north,

435
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:05.931
and the exec wanted
to come s-south.

436
00:21:05.973 --> 00:21:08.183
O-Or the other way around,
or something like that.

437
00:21:08.225 --> 00:21:10.394
[prosecutor]
Why did the captain
want to come south?

438
00:21:10.435 --> 00:21:12.396
I don't know.
Why did the exec
want to come north?

439
00:21:12.437 --> 00:21:15.190
Ma'am, I'm just
a third-class petty officer.

440
00:21:15.232 --> 00:21:18.026
Did the captain
act crazy?
No.

441
00:21:18.068 --> 00:21:19.695
Did the execs
seem scared?
N-No.

442
00:21:19.736 --> 00:21:21.280
Did the captain?
No.

443
00:21:21.321 --> 00:21:22.864
Did anyone?

444
00:21:23.949 --> 00:21:26.952
I-- I was goddamn scared.

445
00:21:27.661 --> 00:21:29.579
I-I beg your pardon, sir.

446
00:21:29.621 --> 00:21:33.417
But the captain
did not act crazy in any way
that morning, correct?

447
00:21:33.458 --> 00:21:36.253
The captain
was the same as always.
Crazy or sane, Urban?

448
00:21:36.295 --> 00:21:38.463
H-He was sane.

449
00:21:38.505 --> 00:21:40.799
S-S-S-So far as I knew.

450
00:21:40.841 --> 00:21:43.802
Petty Officer Urban,
how old are you?

451
00:21:43.844 --> 00:21:46.388
Twenty.
What schooling
have you had?

452
00:21:46.430 --> 00:21:49.516
[stammering] High school--
High school diploma.

453
00:21:49.558 --> 00:21:51.977
[officer]
Have you been telling
the whole truth here,

454
00:21:52.019 --> 00:21:53.729
or haven't you?

455
00:21:55.355 --> 00:22:00.193
Sir, a-an enlisted man
o-on watch

456
00:22:00.235 --> 00:22:03.947
isn't supposed to listen
to arguments between
the captain and the exec.

457
00:22:04.656 --> 00:22:06.199
Did you like the captain?

458
00:22:07.409 --> 00:22:09.036
S-Sure, I liked him, sir.

459
00:22:09.077 --> 00:22:11.538
Continue
your examination.

460
00:22:11.580 --> 00:22:13.290
No further questions.

461
00:22:13.332 --> 00:22:16.209
Petty Officer Urban,
were you aboard the   Caine

462
00:22:16.251 --> 00:22:18.337
when she cut
her own tow cable?

463
00:22:18.378 --> 00:22:20.130
Y-Yes-- Yes, sir.

464
00:22:20.172 --> 00:22:22.966
And what were you
doing at the time?
I was--

465
00:22:23.008 --> 00:22:27.012
Well, that is, the captain
was bawling me out
on the bridge, sir.

466
00:22:27.054 --> 00:22:29.348
What for?
My shirttail was out.

467
00:22:29.389 --> 00:22:32.517
Was the captain
very strict on the subject
of shirttails?

468
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:35.270
[chuckles] Yes, sir.
He was very strict
on shirttails, sir.

469
00:22:35.312 --> 00:22:37.189
And while he was
describing
your shirttail,

470
00:22:37.230 --> 00:22:39.191
the ship went around
in a full circle

471
00:22:39.232 --> 00:22:40.984
and steamed over
its own tow cable.

472
00:22:41.026 --> 00:22:43.195
Is that what happened?
I object to this
line of questioning.

473
00:22:43.236 --> 00:22:45.364
Counsel has
tricked the witness
with leading questions

474
00:22:45.405 --> 00:22:48.116
into asserting that the   Caine
cut its own tow line,

475
00:22:48.158 --> 00:22:51.203
a material point
that was not touched upon
in direct examination.

476
00:22:51.244 --> 00:22:53.205
Please the court,
the witness has stated

477
00:22:53.246 --> 00:22:55.165
that he's never
seen the captain
do anything crazy.

478
00:22:55.207 --> 00:22:57.542
I'm simply trying
to refute that statement.

479
00:22:57.584 --> 00:23:01.463
Defense counsel
will have the opportunity
to originate evidence later.

480
00:23:01.505 --> 00:23:03.423
Objection sustained.

481
00:23:03.465 --> 00:23:06.885
Cross-examination thus far
will be stricken
from the record.

482
00:23:08.220 --> 00:23:10.847
Urban, what is
a paranoid personality?

483
00:23:10.889 --> 00:23:12.432
Huh?
A paranoid personality.

484
00:23:12.474 --> 00:23:14.142
What is it?
Sir?

485
00:23:14.184 --> 00:23:16.520
Would you recognize
a psychotic person
if you saw one?

486
00:23:16.561 --> 00:23:17.896
Me?
It's okay.

487
00:23:17.938 --> 00:23:20.023
No further questions.
Thank you.

488
00:23:20.065 --> 00:23:22.234
Petty Officer Urban,

489
00:23:22.275 --> 00:23:25.821
you will not discuss
your testimony in this courtroom
with anybody, understand?

490
00:23:25.862 --> 00:23:28.240
Wh-Who, sir?
Me, sir?

491
00:23:28.657 --> 00:23:29.658
No, sir.

492
00:23:29.699 --> 00:23:31.451
Witness excused.

493
00:23:32.077 --> 00:23:33.578
Thank you, sir.

494
00:23:35.288 --> 00:23:37.332
[whispering]

495
00:23:37.374 --> 00:23:39.584
I see that,
uh, trial counsel
intends to call

496
00:23:39.626 --> 00:23:41.711
a dozen members
of the crew of the   Caine.

497
00:23:41.753 --> 00:23:43.213
Yeah?
Yeah, that's correct.

498
00:23:43.255 --> 00:23:45.215
And the purpose is to confirm
Urban's testimony

499
00:23:45.257 --> 00:23:47.342
no one ever
saw the captain
do anything crazy.

500
00:23:47.384 --> 00:23:49.928
That is the purpose.
Okay, I'll concede that.

501
00:23:49.970 --> 00:23:52.264
I'll concede
they'll all corroborate
Urban's testimony

502
00:23:52.305 --> 00:23:57.436
if you concede that none of them
know any more about a paranoid
than Urban does.

503
00:23:57.477 --> 00:23:59.896
Yeah, I'll gladly
accept that concession
on those terms, sir.

504
00:23:59.938 --> 00:24:02.315
Okay.
Lieutenant, that's
a weighty concession.

505
00:24:02.357 --> 00:24:05.402
And by your leave, sir,
I'll make that concession.

506
00:24:05.444 --> 00:24:07.279
Uh-- [exhales]

507
00:24:07.320 --> 00:24:10.782
Mr. Greenwald, I understand
that you were appointed
as defense counsel

508
00:24:10.824 --> 00:24:12.200
by the judge advocate.

509
00:24:12.242 --> 00:24:13.577
Yes, sir.

510
00:24:13.618 --> 00:24:15.996
When were you
appointed?
Four days ago, sir.

511
00:24:16.037 --> 00:24:19.207
Do you feel you've had enough
time to prepare your case?
Yes, sir.

512
00:24:19.249 --> 00:24:21.251
Did you undertake
the assignment
willingly?

513
00:24:21.293 --> 00:24:23.336
Uh, sir,
Lieutenant Greenwald
accepted the assignment

514
00:24:23.378 --> 00:24:25.589
at the request
of the judge advocate.

515
00:24:26.882 --> 00:24:30.385
[sighs] I see that
you're a naval aviator.
Yes, sir.

516
00:24:30.427 --> 00:24:33.388
What do you fly?
Primarily
the F/A-18 Super Hornet, sir.

517
00:24:33.430 --> 00:24:36.308
Why aren't you
flying now?
Medical leave, sir.

518
00:24:36.349 --> 00:24:39.227
Why?
Forced to eject
from a damaged aircraft.

519
00:24:39.269 --> 00:24:40.937
I see.

520
00:24:40.979 --> 00:24:44.191
Did you have a chance
to practice much law?
A little, sir.

521
00:24:45.609 --> 00:24:46.651
[sighs]

522
00:24:46.693 --> 00:24:48.445
Lieutenant Maryk.

523
00:24:48.487 --> 00:24:50.489
Yes, sir.

524
00:24:50.530 --> 00:24:52.908
I need to know if you're
happy with your counsel's
conduct of the defense.

525
00:24:52.949 --> 00:24:55.494
Sir, if he answers
that question,
he does on blind faith.

526
00:24:55.535 --> 00:24:57.954
Can I just have a moment
to speak to my client privately?

527
00:24:57.996 --> 00:25:00.248
[sighs]

528
00:25:00.957 --> 00:25:02.083
Two minutes.

529
00:25:02.125 --> 00:25:03.502
[Greenwald]
Come on.

530
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:05.337
Thank you.

531
00:25:07.130 --> 00:25:09.424
So, do you want
to get rid of me?

532
00:25:10.467 --> 00:25:11.968
I don't know.

533
00:25:13.053 --> 00:25:15.347
I think I'm screwed
at this point.

534
00:25:15.388 --> 00:25:17.349
Fifteen years
in the brig?

535
00:25:17.390 --> 00:25:19.184
Mm-hmm.

536
00:25:20.727 --> 00:25:23.522
Tell me one thing.
Why didn't you
cross-examine Tom?

537
00:25:23.563 --> 00:25:25.857
I don't have time
to tell you everything.

538
00:25:25.899 --> 00:25:28.568
Tom Keefer knows everything
the captain did. Everything.
I'm sure he does.

539
00:25:28.610 --> 00:25:30.487
If he wouldn't talk,
it's up to you
to drag it out.

540
00:25:30.529 --> 00:25:32.614
Wasn't it?
You don't understand.

541
00:25:32.656 --> 00:25:34.407
No, I don't understand
what you're doing.
That's for sure.

542
00:25:34.449 --> 00:25:35.909
I want to fight
this case.
Why?

543
00:25:35.951 --> 00:25:37.619
Because
I want to win it.
Why?

544
00:25:37.661 --> 00:25:39.538
Is that not enough?

545
00:25:39.579 --> 00:25:41.248
Before you said you'd
rather be prosecuting
than defending me.

546
00:25:41.289 --> 00:25:42.999
So maybe this is
your bizarre way
of prosecuting.

547
00:25:43.041 --> 00:25:46.169
Steve, listen to me
very carefully.

548
00:25:46.211 --> 00:25:48.964
Implicating Keefer
harms you.
What?

549
00:25:49.005 --> 00:25:52.342
Two disgruntled bastards
instead of one heroic exec.

550
00:25:52.384 --> 00:25:55.637
I have a chance
with one heroic exec.

551
00:25:55.679 --> 00:25:58.974
Making that stick
is the only chance
for you to win.

552
00:26:05.063 --> 00:26:07.524
For the record,
the court asks the accused,

553
00:26:07.566 --> 00:26:09.985
are you satisfied
with your counsel?

554
00:26:11.653 --> 00:26:13.530
I'm satisfied, sir.

555
00:26:13.572 --> 00:26:16.408
Court will not
reopen this question.
I understand that, sir.

556
00:26:16.449 --> 00:26:19.077
I'm satisfied
with Lieutenant Greenwald.

557
00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:21.705
Proceed with your case,
Commander Challee.

558
00:26:22.664 --> 00:26:24.249
Call Lieutenant Keith.

559
00:26:33.466 --> 00:26:35.427
State your name, rank
and present station.

560
00:26:35.468 --> 00:26:38.555
Willis Keith,
US Navy Junior Grade,

561
00:26:38.597 --> 00:26:40.682
assistant communications officer
on the USS   Caine.

562
00:26:40.724 --> 00:26:43.184
Mr. Keith, were you
officer of the deck of the   Caine

563
00:26:43.226 --> 00:26:45.395
on December 18th, 2022?

564
00:26:45.437 --> 00:26:46.813
I was.

565
00:26:46.855 --> 00:26:49.524
Was the captain relieved
of his command on that date?

566
00:26:49.566 --> 00:26:50.609
Yes, ma'am.

567
00:26:50.650 --> 00:26:52.193
Do you know why
the executive officer

568
00:26:52.235 --> 00:26:53.612
relieved the captain?
Yes.

569
00:26:53.653 --> 00:26:56.740
Captain Queeg
had lost control of himself

570
00:26:56.781 --> 00:26:59.534
and the ship
was in grave danger
of foundering.

571
00:27:00.619 --> 00:27:02.203
How many years
have you served at sea,
Lieutenant?

572
00:27:02.245 --> 00:27:04.164
One year, three months.

573
00:27:04.205 --> 00:27:06.207
Do you know how many years
Commander Queeg
has served at sea?

574
00:27:06.249 --> 00:27:08.168
I guess about 17 years.

575
00:27:08.209 --> 00:27:10.128
Which one of you is
better qualified to judge

576
00:27:10.170 --> 00:27:12.714
whether a ship
is foundering or not?

577
00:27:12.756 --> 00:27:14.758
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 --> 00:27:24.643
Oh. Have you studied
medicine or psychiatry?
No.

582
00:27:24.684 --> 00:27:29.105
Did the captain foam or rave
or make insane gestures?

583
00:27:29.147 --> 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
00:27:36.363 --> 00:27:39.783
He insisted on going south
when we had a north wind
of 90 miles an hour behind us.

587
00:27:39.824 --> 00:27:42.535
With a stern wind that strong,
the ship couldn't be controlled.

588
00:27:42.577 --> 00:27:45.705
In your expert opinion
as ship handler, that is.

589
00:27:45.747 --> 00:27:49.125
Well, Steve Maryk thought so,
and he's an expert ship handler.

590
00:27:49.167 --> 00:27:53.797
Were you completely loyal
to your captain or not,
prior to 18 December?

591
00:27:53.838 --> 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.
You say that Maryk
gave Stilwell leave.

604
00:28:33.503 --> 00:28:35.922
Did Maryk know that the captain
had denied Stilwell leave?

605
00:28:35.964 --> 00:28:37.799
Yes.

606
00:28:37.841 --> 00:28:41.177
Did Maryk check with the captain
before authorizing this leave?

607
00:28:41.219 --> 00:28:43.138
No, um...

608
00:28:43.179 --> 00:28:45.640
Are you testifying,
Mr. Keith,

609
00:28:45.682 --> 00:28:48.852
that Maryk
deliberately violated
his captain's orders?

610
00:28:50.937 --> 00:28:52.355
Uh...

611
00:28:53.732 --> 00:28:57.694
I-- I mean,
i-it was my fault, actually.

612
00:28:57.736 --> 00:28:59.696
'Cause I begged him to.
He was--

613
00:28:59.738 --> 00:29:01.990
Mr. Keith, we now
have your testimony

614
00:29:02.031 --> 00:29:03.992
that you and Stilwell
and Maryk

615
00:29:04.033 --> 00:29:06.870
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
of 18 December.

617
00:29:10.373 --> 00:29:12.834
Now, please tell the court

618
00:29:12.876 --> 00:29:16.588
any other instances
of mistreatment
that occur to you.

619
00:29:18.214 --> 00:29:20.091
He cut off Internet access
for six months

620
00:29:20.133 --> 00:29:22.802
'cause he wasn't invited
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,
do you, Lieutenant?

626
00:29:40.570 --> 00:29:42.489
Oh, I did.
I did at first.

627
00:29:42.530 --> 00:29:44.240
Very much.
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
And did you state all
your reasons for disliking him?
Not at all.

641
00:30:21.694 --> 00:30:24.239
Okay, well, please,
state the rest
of those reasons now.

642
00:30:24.280 --> 00:30:27.242
Well, for one thing,
he extorted
a thousand bucks from me.

643
00:30:27.283 --> 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 --> 00:31:04.571
Well, this was back
last December
in Port Doha, Qatar.

656
00:31:04.612 --> 00:31:07.740
Uh, the captain had this crate,

657
00:31:07.782 --> 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
Sailors got rattled,
they dropped the crate
in the water,

664
00:31:28.177 --> 00:31:31.556
it sank like a stone,
I was out a thousand bucks.

665
00:31:31.598 --> 00:31:33.641
No, you mean the captain
was out a thousand bucks.

666
00:31:33.683 --> 00:31:36.019
No, no, no, sir.
I was.

667
00:31:36.060 --> 00:31:38.187
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
00:31:53.620 --> 00:31:56.205
and I offered to pay
for the crate.

675
00:31:56.247 --> 00:31:59.709
He took my money
and signed my leave papers.

676
00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:03.755
What other reasons do you have
for disliking Captain Queeg?

677
00:32:03.796 --> 00:32:05.465
Well, my chief reason
for disliking Captain Queeg

678
00:32:05.506 --> 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
is originating evidence

681
00:32:10.053 --> 00:32:12.305
beyond the scope
of direct examination.

682
00:32:12.347 --> 00:32:16.017
He is leading the witness
to irresponsible libel
of an officer of the Navy.

683
00:32:16.059 --> 00:32:18.895
Please the court,
the witness's dislike
of Captain Queeg

684
00:32:18.937 --> 00:32:21.397
was not only in the scope
of direct examination,

685
00:32:21.439 --> 00:32:23.733
it was the key fact
brought out.

686
00:32:23.775 --> 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 --> 00:32:39.207
I respectfully
urge my objection, sir.

691
00:32:39.248 --> 00:32:42.460
Let me remind everyone

692
00:32:42.502 --> 00:32:45.630
of the serious nature
of the issues
in this line of questioning

693
00:32:45.672 --> 00:32:47.882
and the implications
involved.

694
00:32:48.841 --> 00:32:51.302
From the earliest days
of our service,

695
00:32:51.344 --> 00:32:54.806
the worst charge
that can be leveled against
a naval service officer,

696
00:32:54.847 --> 00:32:57.642
especially
the commanding officer
of a vessel,

697
00:32:57.684 --> 00:33:02.647
is that he displays cowardice
or negligence in the face
of danger to his ship or crew.

698
00:33:03.815 --> 00:33:05.775
Counsel and the witness
are herewith cautioned

699
00:33:05.817 --> 00:33:09.821
that they are treading on
dangerous and unprecedented
grounds here.

700
00:33:11.030 --> 00:33:13.116
Court offers defense counsel
the opportunity

701
00:33:13.157 --> 00:33:15.451
to withdraw his question
from the record.

702
00:33:16.786 --> 00:33:19.205
My question stands, sir.

703
00:33:19.247 --> 00:33:21.290
Lieutenant Keith,

704
00:33:21.332 --> 00:33:24.711
you have the opportunity
to withdraw
or amend your answers.

705
00:33:24.752 --> 00:33:27.130
I stand by
what I said, sir.

706
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:29.799
Very well.

707
00:33:29.841 --> 00:33:32.969
Court finds that the question
is within the scope
of direct examination

708
00:33:33.011 --> 00:33:35.930
and that the answer
is material.

709
00:33:35.972 --> 00:33:38.808
The objection
of the trial counsel
is overruled.

710
00:33:38.850 --> 00:33:41.019
Mr. Keith, can you describe
when and where

711
00:33:41.060 --> 00:33:44.188
the captain displayed
this aversion to danger?

712
00:33:44.230 --> 00:33:48.609
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 --> 01:02:47.430
without authority
and without justifiable cause.

1344
01:02:47.472 --> 01:02:49.432
Did you relieve
Commander Queeg willfully?

1345
01:02:49.474 --> 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
01:03:05.573 --> 01:03:08.451
Thank you.
No further questions.

1352
01:03:10.077 --> 01:03:13.831
Mr. Maryk,
this amazing interview

1353
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 --> 01:03:52.662
Mr. Maryk, who coined
the nickname Old Yellowstain?

1367
01:03:52.703 --> 01:03:55.164
That just sprung
into existence.

1368
01:03:55.206 --> 01:03:57.959
Throughout the ship
or just among
the officers?

1369
01:03:58.000 --> 01:03:59.335
Just among the officers.

1370
01:03:59.377 --> 01:04:01.712
You sure you didn't
coin it yourself?

1371
01:04:01.754 --> 01:04:03.005
I didn't.

1372
01:04:03.881 --> 01:04:08.803
What kind of rating
would you give yourself
for loyalty to your captain?

1373
01:04:08.845 --> 01:04:11.305
I'd say
I was a loyal officer.

1374
01:04:12.265 --> 01:04:15.476
Did you issue
a 72-hour liberty

1375
01:04:15.518 --> 01:04:18.563
to Petty Officer Stilwell
in December

1376
01:04:18.604 --> 01:04:21.649
against your captain's
express instructions?

1377
01:04:21.691 --> 01:04:23.734
Yes.
You call that
a loyal act?

1378
01:04:23.776 --> 01:04:24.819
No.

1379
01:04:24.861 --> 01:04:27.572
Then you admit to
a disloyal act

1380
01:04:27.613 --> 01:04:30.116
in your first days
as executive officer.

1381
01:04:30.157 --> 01:04:31.576
Yes.

1382
01:04:31.617 --> 01:04:35.538
Mr. Maryk, where did you
get your schooling?

1383
01:04:35.580 --> 01:04:37.290
Public schools,
San Francisco.
Okay.

1384
01:04:37.331 --> 01:04:38.958
And San Francisco
State University.

1385
01:04:39.000 --> 01:04:41.544
And how were your grades
in elementary school?

1386
01:04:41.586 --> 01:04:43.462
[scoffs]
They were okay.

1387
01:04:43.504 --> 01:04:46.841
Average? Above average?
Below average?

1388
01:04:46.883 --> 01:04:47.884
Average.

1389
01:04:47.925 --> 01:04:50.219
How about your
high school grades?

1390
01:04:50.261 --> 01:04:53.890
Well, I didn't do
so good there.
Uh, below average.

1391
01:04:54.849 --> 01:04:57.226
What kind of courses
did you take in college?

1392
01:04:57.268 --> 01:04:58.394
Business courses.

1393
01:04:58.436 --> 01:05:00.062
Any pre-medical courses?
No.

1394
01:05:00.104 --> 01:05:03.399
Any psychology?
Any psychiatry courses?
No.

1395
01:05:03.441 --> 01:05:05.359
How were your grades
in college?
They--

1396
01:05:05.401 --> 01:05:08.529
I got by.
Below average?

1397
01:05:09.155 --> 01:05:11.282
[Maryk]
Yes.

1398
01:05:11.324 --> 01:05:14.827
[Challee] Where did you
get these ideas
about paranoia?

1399
01:05:14.869 --> 01:05:18.331
Prob-- Well, books.
And, uh... [clears throat]
...a lot of research online.

1400
01:05:18.372 --> 01:05:20.750
Books? What books?
Name the titles.
Which websites?

1401
01:05:20.791 --> 01:05:23.336
They're medical type books
about mental illness,

1402
01:05:23.377 --> 01:05:26.213
and I-I don't remember
the exact names of the sites.

1403
01:05:26.255 --> 01:05:29.675
Oh. Was this
your intellectual hobby,
reading about psychiatry?

1404
01:05:29.717 --> 01:05:31.969
No.
Well, then where did
you get these books?

1405
01:05:32.011 --> 01:05:35.056
Fr-- I borrowed them
from, uh, ships' doctors
here and there.

1406
01:05:35.097 --> 01:05:39.226
[chuckles]
And with your background,
your scholastic record,

1407
01:05:39.268 --> 01:05:43.189
you imagine that you understood
these highly technical
and scientific works?

1408
01:05:43.230 --> 01:05:45.107
I got something out of them.

1409
01:05:45.149 --> 01:05:47.401
What is
a conditioned reflex?

1410
01:05:47.443 --> 01:05:48.945
I don't know.

1411
01:05:48.986 --> 01:05:50.905
What is schizophrenia?

1412
01:05:50.947 --> 01:05:53.074
Uh, I think it's--
it's a mental illness.

1413
01:05:53.115 --> 01:05:54.408
You think so?
Yes.

1414
01:05:54.450 --> 01:05:56.911
What are its symptoms?
I don't know.

1415
01:05:56.953 --> 01:06:00.539
In fact, you don't know
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
your grasp of psychiatry.
Mm-hmm.

1428
01:06:29.610 --> 01:06:34.323
Did you hear the diagnosis
of the qualified psychiatrist
who examined your captain?

1429
01:06:34.365 --> 01:06:36.158
Yes.
And what was
their diagnosis?

1430
01:06:36.200 --> 01:06:38.995
Was he crazy or wasn't he
on December 18th?

1431
01:06:39.036 --> 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
as good as yours?

1438
01:06:56.554 --> 01:06:58.931
Yes. Uh, better.
Better.

1439
01:06:58.973 --> 01:07:02.101
Did you show
your medical log to him?
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
01:07:53.319 --> 01:07:54.904
You may step down,
Lieutenant.

1459
01:08:02.787 --> 01:08:05.539
Call
Lieutenant Commander Queeg.

1460
01:08:14.924 --> 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.

1467
01:08:34.359 --> 01:08:36.946
Was the interview
at your request?
Yes.

1468
01:08:36.987 --> 01:08:38.948
What was the substance
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
Th-That's the part
that he's made up,
the crying and the pleading.

1499
01:09:56.525 --> 01:09:57.818
It's fantastic.

1500
01:09:57.860 --> 01:09:59.653
You're accusing Mr. Maryk
of perjury.

1501
01:09:59.695 --> 01:10:01.447
I-I'm not accusing him--

1502
01:10:01.488 --> 01:10:02.823
[laughs]

1503
01:10:02.865 --> 01:10:04.950
He's accused of enough
as it stands.

1504
01:10:04.992 --> 01:10:07.786
I'm just saying you'll hear
a lot of strange things
about me from Maryk.

1505
01:10:07.828 --> 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 --> 01:10:30.559
Commander, did you ever
receive $1,000 from
Lieutenant Junior Grade Keith?

1511
01:10:30.601 --> 01:10:32.853
Uh, I don't recall offhand.

1512
01:10:32.895 --> 01:10:35.397
He testified you did.
I did?
On what occasion?

1513
01:10:35.439 --> 01:10:38.901
On the occasion of the loss
of a crate of yours
in the Port of Oman.

1514
01:10:38.943 --> 01:10:41.195
Oh, y-yes. Okay.
[chuckling] I remember that.

1515
01:10:41.237 --> 01:10:43.906
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
Well, uniforms, books,

1520
01:10:56.085 --> 01:10:59.088
n-navigating instruments,
the usual things.

1521
01:10:59.129 --> 01:11:00.923
How was Keith responsible?

1522
01:11:00.965 --> 01:11:03.217
Well, he was the boat officer.
He was responsible for loading.

1523
01:11:03.259 --> 01:11:06.595
He issued foolish,
contradictory orders
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.
[chuckles]

1528
01:11:16.605 --> 01:11:20.442
Commander, wasn't the--
the crate entirely full
of bottles of booze?

1529
01:11:20.484 --> 01:11:22.611
Certainly not.

1530
01:11:22.653 --> 01:11:26.782
Lieutenant Keith testified
that he paid you $1,000
for a crate full of liquor.

1531
01:11:26.824 --> 01:11:30.411
Well, you'll hear a lot of
strange distortions from Keith.
A-And from Maryk.

1532
01:11:30.452 --> 01:11:33.789
They're the two culprits here.
They're apt to make all kinds
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 --> 01:24:30.982
Okay,
no respect for command.

1808
01:24:31.024 --> 01:24:33.443
Th-That was the whole trouble
with that ship.

1809
01:24:33.485 --> 01:24:37.322
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 --> 01:26:59.130
of a fitness report
that you wrote
for Lieutenant Maryk

1851
01:26:59.172 --> 01:27:01.466
July 1, 2022.

1852
01:27:01.507 --> 01:27:03.885
Do you recognize it
as such?

1853
01:27:06.346 --> 01:27:08.014
Y-Yes.

1854
01:27:08.056 --> 01:27:10.850
And by this time
had the following events
occurred--

1855
01:27:10.892 --> 01:27:14.812
the water shortage,
the coffee maker
investigation,

1856
01:27:14.854 --> 01:27:17.649
the banning of the movies,
the Internet

1857
01:27:17.690 --> 01:27:19.734
and other events?

1858
01:27:21.527 --> 01:27:23.655
Yes, I believe so.

1859
01:27:23.696 --> 01:27:28.910
Please read your comments
on Lieutenant Maryk, July 1.

1860
01:27:29.744 --> 01:27:32.121
Well, n-not being vindictive,

1861
01:27:32.163 --> 01:27:36.459
I-I don't write down
every single, solitary instance.

1862
01:27:36.501 --> 01:27:39.045
A fitness report
goes into a man's record,

1863
01:27:39.087 --> 01:27:42.924
and, well, I've always
tried to go easy on them.

1864
01:27:42.966 --> 01:27:44.968
A-Always have, always will.

1865
01:27:45.009 --> 01:27:46.719
I appreciate that, sir.

1866
01:27:46.761 --> 01:27:48.721
Please read the comments.

1867
01:27:54.602 --> 01:27:56.771
"This officer has,
if anything,

1868
01:27:56.813 --> 01:27:59.941
improved in
his performance of duty

1869
01:27:59.983 --> 01:28:02.944
since the last fitness report.

1870
01:28:03.903 --> 01:28:07.198
He is consistently loyal,
unflagging,

1871
01:28:07.240 --> 01:28:11.619
thorough, courageous
and efficient.

1872
01:28:12.870 --> 01:28:15.206
He is considered at present

1873
01:28:15.248 --> 01:28:19.627
fully qualified for command
of a 1,200-ton MCM.

1874
01:28:21.087 --> 01:28:26.384
His professional determination
and integrity set him apart

1875
01:28:26.426 --> 01:28:30.388
as an outstanding example
for other officers,

1876
01:28:30.430 --> 01:28:32.807
reserve and regular alike.

1877
01:28:37.186 --> 01:28:39.939
He cannot be
too highly commended."

1878
01:28:45.320 --> 01:28:46.863
Thank you.

1879
01:28:48.740 --> 01:28:50.450
No further questions.

1880
01:28:54.829 --> 01:28:56.789
No cross-examination.

1881
01:29:01.127 --> 01:29:03.004
You're excused,
Commander.

1882
01:29:09.135 --> 01:29:10.678
Yes, sir.

1883
01:29:30.198 --> 01:29:32.116
Defense rests.

1884
01:29:34.369 --> 01:29:36.996
Is the trial counsel
ready for summation?

1885
01:29:38.331 --> 01:29:41.000
No summary, sir.
Prosecution rests.

1886
01:29:42.418 --> 01:29:44.212
No argument at all?

1887
01:29:49.967 --> 01:29:52.178
If it please
the court,

1888
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
appointed by the Navy

1940
01:33:03.411 --> 01:33:06.205
and as a member of the bar.

1941
01:33:07.456 --> 01:33:09.292
Let me make one thing clear.

1942
01:33:09.333 --> 01:33:12.044
It is not the contention
of the defense

1943
01:33:12.086 --> 01:33:14.213
that Commander Queeg
is a coward

1944
01:33:14.255 --> 01:33:19.969
and that therefore,
if he commits questionable acts
under intense fire,

1945
01:33:20.011 --> 01:33:22.888
the explanation
must lie elsewhere.

1946
01:33:22.930 --> 01:33:26.559
The court saw
Commander Queeg's bearing
on the stand.

1947
01:33:26.601 --> 01:33:30.062
The court can imagine
what his bearing
must have been like

1948
01:33:30.104 --> 01:33:32.273
at the height
of the storm.

1949
01:33:32.315 --> 01:33:34.191
And on that basis,

1950
01:33:35.234 --> 01:33:38.446
the court can decide
the fate of the accused.

1951
01:33:44.619 --> 01:33:46.537
[exhales]

1952
01:33:47.622 --> 01:33:49.874
Before recessing,

1953
01:33:49.915 --> 01:33:52.460
the court will rule
on the recommendation
to censure you.

1954
01:33:56.672 --> 01:33:58.132
Yes, sir.

1955
01:34:00.635 --> 01:34:04.597
This has been a strange
and tragic trial.

1956
01:34:05.681 --> 01:34:08.267
In the 248-year history
of the Navy,

1957
01:34:08.309 --> 01:34:11.479
there has been only
one other attempted mutiny.

1958
01:34:13.356 --> 01:34:16.776
You have conducted your case
with striking ingenuity.

1959
01:34:18.569 --> 01:34:20.321
But your conduct
has been puzzling

1960
01:34:20.363 --> 01:34:22.490
and it does raise questions.

1961
01:34:23.491 --> 01:34:25.743
Has your conduct here
been responsible,

1962
01:34:25.785 --> 01:34:27.495
Lieutenant Greenwald?

1963
01:34:28.788 --> 01:34:30.414
[sighs]

1964
01:34:30.456 --> 01:34:33.209
The reprimand,
if there is to be one,

1965
01:34:33.250 --> 01:34:36.379
must come
from your own conscience.

1966
01:34:38.506 --> 01:34:42.343
Court finds defense counsel
has not been in contempt.

1967
01:34:42.385 --> 01:34:45.304
Recommendation to reprimand
denied.

1968
01:34:45.346 --> 01:34:48.140
Court stands in recess
until further notice.

1969
01:34:48.182 --> 01:34:49.850
[gavel raps]

1970
01:34:54.480 --> 01:34:57.692
What happens now?
Well, that's
the ball game.

1971
01:34:58.818 --> 01:35:00.194
And when do we find out?

1972
01:35:00.236 --> 01:35:02.029
If it's an acquittal,
soon.

1973
01:35:02.071 --> 01:35:05.533
If not, well,
they won't publish
their findings for weeks.

1974
01:35:05.574 --> 01:35:07.034
Okay.

1975
01:35:08.035 --> 01:35:09.787
You were terrific.

1976
01:35:09.829 --> 01:35:11.664
Thanks.

1977
01:35:14.125 --> 01:35:16.377
You murdered Queeg
up there.

1978
01:35:16.961 --> 01:35:19.255
Yes, I murdered him.

1979
01:35:24.009 --> 01:35:27.680
I'm grateful to you,
win or lose.

1980
01:35:32.476 --> 01:35:33.769
Okay.

1981
01:35:36.522 --> 01:35:38.524
What's wrong?
Not a thing.

1982
01:35:38.566 --> 01:35:41.152
Well, look, I need to
ask you something.

1983
01:35:41.193 --> 01:35:43.279
What now? Hmm?

1984
01:35:44.947 --> 01:35:47.742
Tom Keefer's having a party
tonight at the hotel.

1985
01:35:47.783 --> 01:35:50.745
This morning
he got a $10,000 advance
on his novel.

1986
01:35:50.786 --> 01:35:53.080
Well, I hope he sells
a million copies,

1987
01:35:53.122 --> 01:35:56.417
wins the Nobel Prize,
the Pulitzer Prize,
the Medal of Honor.

1988
01:35:56.459 --> 01:35:59.086
Wrap this whole thing up
in a nice, pink ribbon.

1989
01:35:59.128 --> 01:36:00.838
We're both invited.

1990
01:36:03.215 --> 01:36:04.759
What?

1991
01:36:05.843 --> 01:36:08.471
Look, I know what
you probably think.

1992
01:36:08.512 --> 01:36:11.182
But one way or another,
it's over.

1993
01:36:11.223 --> 01:36:14.268
I don't know
what I would have done
in Tom's place.

1994
01:36:14.310 --> 01:36:16.437
You'd go
to Keefer's party.

1995
01:36:17.605 --> 01:36:20.775
I'll go if you will,
if you think we should.

1996
01:36:33.204 --> 01:36:37.750
[pop music
playing on speakers]

1997
01:36:43.130 --> 01:36:45.758
Oh!
[cheering]

1998
01:36:53.307 --> 01:36:55.601
All right, quiet, quiet!

1999
01:36:55.643 --> 01:36:56.727
[whistles]

2000
01:36:56.769 --> 01:36:59.730
Quiet, you drunken bums
of the   Caine!

2001
01:36:59.772 --> 01:37:03.901
Here he is,
the guest of honor,
our courageous hero.

2002
01:37:03.943 --> 01:37:05.069
Hey!
Whoo!

2003
01:37:05.110 --> 01:37:07.112
Speech!
Speech, speech, speech!

2004
01:37:07.154 --> 01:37:10.449
[all chanting]
Speech! Speech! Speech!
No, no, no, no.

2005
01:37:10.491 --> 01:37:13.828
No, no, no, no, no, no!
Come on, Barney!

2006
01:37:13.869 --> 01:37:16.872
No, I-I-I'm drunker
than any of you guys.
[laughing]

2007
01:37:16.914 --> 01:37:19.041
I've been out
with the trial counsel,

2008
01:37:19.083 --> 01:37:22.044
trying to get her to take back
some of the dirty names
she called me.

2009
01:37:22.086 --> 01:37:24.338
[all chuckle]

2010
01:37:24.380 --> 01:37:27.842
I finally got her to shake hands
on the third bourbon and soda,
maybe the fourth.

2011
01:37:27.883 --> 01:37:30.928
That's good. That's good.
I had to talk loud and fast,
Steve.

2012
01:37:30.970 --> 01:37:34.306
I played some pretty
dirty pool in court.
Well...

2013
01:37:34.348 --> 01:37:36.100
Poor Katherine Challee, huh?
Yeah.

2014
01:37:36.141 --> 01:37:38.352
Mmm. So what's this?

2015
01:37:38.394 --> 01:37:40.396
[Maryk] Oh, it's
a double celebration.

2016
01:37:40.437 --> 01:37:41.981
[Greenwald]
A cake baked like a book.

2017
01:37:42.022 --> 01:37:44.233
$10,000
came in the mail today.
Advance on my novel.

2018
01:37:44.275 --> 01:37:46.235
[all cheering]

2019
01:37:46.277 --> 01:37:48.445
Very nice.
Very nice.

2020
01:37:48.487 --> 01:37:49.905
I got something
in the mail today too.

2021
01:37:49.947 --> 01:37:52.616
What's that, Barney?
Medical clearance.

2022
01:37:52.658 --> 01:37:55.202
Orders back to my ship.
Leaving tomorrow.

2023
01:37:55.244 --> 01:37:56.370
[all cheering]

2024
01:37:56.412 --> 01:37:58.956
Good.
Hey, that's great.

2025
01:38:01.083 --> 01:38:02.376
Ten thousand bucks,
huh?

2026
01:38:02.418 --> 01:38:04.420
[whistles]

2027
01:38:05.588 --> 01:38:07.006
You know,
maybe I should

2028
01:38:07.047 --> 01:38:09.592
return
the celebrated author's
toast.

2029
01:38:09.633 --> 01:38:11.260
Yes!
A little, little speech.

2030
01:38:11.302 --> 01:38:13.888
All right, all right, all right.
Here we go, here we go.

2031
01:38:13.929 --> 01:38:15.514
Okay.
[chuckles]

2032
01:38:15.556 --> 01:38:18.017
Uh, war novel, isn't it?
That's right.

2033
01:38:18.058 --> 01:38:20.936
I assume you gave the Navy
a good screwing, yeah?

2034
01:38:20.978 --> 01:38:22.980
Yeah?
[all laughing]

2035
01:38:23.022 --> 01:38:25.357
I don't think
that Navy Public Affairs
would approve it at any rate.

2036
01:38:25.399 --> 01:38:28.569
Well, somebody
should show up these stupid,
stuffy old pricks, huh?

2037
01:38:28.611 --> 01:38:31.155
Yeah!
Who's the hero, you?

2038
01:38:31.196 --> 01:38:34.158
If there's any similarities,
it is purely coincidental.

2039
01:38:34.199 --> 01:38:36.368
[crowd chuckles]

2040
01:38:36.410 --> 01:38:39.371
Okay, I'm warped
and I'm drunk.

2041
01:38:40.789 --> 01:38:43.751
But it suddenly seems to me,
if I wrote a war novel,

2042
01:38:43.792 --> 01:38:46.587
I would try to make a hero
out of Old Yellowstain.

2043
01:38:46.629 --> 01:38:48.505
Mmm.
Oh, come on.

2044
01:38:48.547 --> 01:38:49.965
That's right, I would.
No. No.

2045
01:38:50.007 --> 01:38:52.426
No, I would.
And I'll tell you why.

2046
01:38:53.636 --> 01:38:56.305
You see, Mr. Keefer,
while I was studying law

2047
01:38:56.347 --> 01:38:58.015
and you were
writing short stories,

2048
01:38:58.057 --> 01:39:00.768
and Willie Keith
was playing on the fields
of Princeton,

2049
01:39:00.809 --> 01:39:04.021
why, all that time,
these--

2050
01:39:04.063 --> 01:39:06.899
these old birds
we call regulars,
these stupid, stuffy pricks,

2051
01:39:06.941 --> 01:39:08.692
were standing guard

2052
01:39:08.734 --> 01:39:12.947
on our fat, dumb
and happy country.

2053
01:39:13.948 --> 01:39:16.450
Of course, they were
doing it for dough.

2054
01:39:16.492 --> 01:39:18.452
Same as anybody does anything.

2055
01:39:19.453 --> 01:39:23.082
But the question is,
in the last analysis...

2056
01:39:24.208 --> 01:39:26.669
I mean,
what do you do for dough?
You and me.

2057
01:39:26.710 --> 01:39:30.464
We're advancing
our free little careers.

2058
01:39:31.924 --> 01:39:36.220
So when 9/11 happened
and so many of us
rushed to join up

2059
01:39:36.261 --> 01:39:40.599
to fight those assholes
that crashed those planes
into the Twin Towers...

2060
01:39:42.351 --> 01:39:45.396
You couldn't fight them
with a law book,
so I-- I went active.

2061
01:39:45.437 --> 01:39:47.022
I joined the Navy.

2062
01:39:48.357 --> 01:39:50.109
Maybe I'd fly over
the Middle East

2063
01:39:50.150 --> 01:39:52.152
and bomb the shit
out of some terrorists,
right?

2064
01:39:52.194 --> 01:39:54.363
Whoo!
[crowd chuckling]

2065
01:39:54.405 --> 01:39:58.951
But there were already
a lot of guys
ready to do that.

2066
01:40:00.285 --> 01:40:02.579
And it wasn't me.
Not yet.

2067
01:40:02.621 --> 01:40:05.082
Wasn't Tom Keefer,
still in school,

2068
01:40:05.124 --> 01:40:07.793
or Willie Keith
in midshipman training,

2069
01:40:07.835 --> 01:40:11.714
but Old Yellowstain
and guys like him.

2070
01:40:12.798 --> 01:40:15.384
They were already on station,
ready to go.

2071
01:40:16.552 --> 01:40:18.345
And they're a lot smarter
than any of us.

2072
01:40:18.387 --> 01:40:21.015
I mean, let's-- Come on.
Let's not kid ourselves.

2073
01:40:21.056 --> 01:40:25.436
I mean, you don't get anywhere
in the all-volunteer,
upwardly mobile American Navy

2074
01:40:25.477 --> 01:40:27.271
unless you're goddamn good.

2075
01:40:28.814 --> 01:40:31.859

they may not be up
on the latest video game,

2076
01:40:31.900 --> 01:40:34.361
but they know how
to get a tough job done.

2077
01:40:35.487 --> 01:40:39.158
And they were standing by,
and they were ready to do it,

2078
01:40:39.199 --> 01:40:41.744
while the rest of us
were still trying to
know shit from Shinola.

2079
01:40:41.785 --> 01:40:44.705
Barney. Hey, Barney.
It's over.

2080
01:40:44.747 --> 01:40:46.707
All right? Come on.
Let's just enjoy dinner.

2081
01:40:46.749 --> 01:40:49.209
Dinner's a sham, Steve.
You're guilty.

2082
01:40:50.753 --> 01:40:53.380
Of course,
you're only half guilty.

2083
01:40:53.422 --> 01:40:56.884
I mean, there was someone else
standing very neatly
out of the picture,

2084
01:40:57.801 --> 01:40:59.720
the guy who started
the whole idea

2085
01:40:59.762 --> 01:41:01.513
that Queeg's
a dangerous paranoiac,

2086
01:41:01.555 --> 01:41:04.058
who argued you into it
for six months,

2087
01:41:04.099 --> 01:41:06.727
who coined the nickname
Old Yellowstain,

2088
01:41:06.769 --> 01:41:10.814
who pointed out the psychiatry
books and Article 1108
and kept hammering it at you.

2089
01:41:10.856 --> 01:41:12.357
All right,
wait a minute here.

2090
01:41:12.399 --> 01:41:15.527
Oh, yeah, yeah, Mr. Keefer.
That's right, yeah.

2091
01:41:16.361 --> 01:41:18.489
I had to drag it
out of Steve.

2092
01:41:18.530 --> 01:41:21.700
Big dumb Polack
tried to tell me
it was all his own idea.

2093
01:41:21.742 --> 01:41:25.662
He wouldn't know a paranoid
from an anthropoid.
But you knew, didn't you?

2094
01:41:25.704 --> 01:41:31.251
You told him his medical log
was a clinical picture
of a paranoid.

2095
01:41:31.293 --> 01:41:34.588
You advised him
to go to Admiral Williams.
You offered to go with him.

2096
01:41:34.630 --> 01:41:39.093
You didn't get cold feet
until you stood on Williams's
quarterdeck in Bahrain.

2097
01:41:39.134 --> 01:41:41.720
Yeah, and then you ducked,
and you've been ducking
ever since.

2098
01:41:41.762 --> 01:41:43.597
I don't know
where you're
getting all this.

2099
01:41:43.639 --> 01:41:45.724

you could have done Steve,

as far as winning
an acquittal went,

2101

though I doubt
you realize it.

2102
01:41:51.939 --> 01:41:54.858
But if there is
a guilty party,
it's you.

2103

If you hadn't filled
Steve Maryk's thick head

2104
01:41:59.822 --> 01:42:01.448
full of paranoia
and Article 1108,

2105
01:42:01.490 --> 01:42:05.285
why, he'd have--
he'd have got Queeg
to come north.

2106
01:42:05.327 --> 01:42:08.956
Or he'd have helped him
pull through to the south.

2107
01:42:10.290 --> 01:42:12.960
And the   Caine   wouldn't have
been yanked out of action.

2108

You know, here's to you.

2117
01:42:33.605 --> 01:42:36.483
You bowled a perfect score.
You went after Queeg,
and you got him.

2118
01:42:36.525 --> 01:42:39.319
You kept your own whites
all starchy,

2119
01:42:39.361 --> 01:42:41.780
and you wrote your novel
proving the Navy sucks,

2120
01:42:41.822 --> 01:42:45.325

you'll make a million dollars,

2121
01:42:45.367 --> 01:42:47.744

a little verbal reprimand
from me.

2122
01:42:47.786 --> 01:42:49.705
What does it all mean?
Hmm?

2123
01:42:50.539 --> 01:42:52.166
You know,
I-I defended Steve Maryk

2124
01:42:52.207 --> 01:42:56.670
because I realized
the wrong guy was on trial.

2125
01:42:56.712 --> 01:42:59.673
And the only way
I could defend him
was to murder Queeg for you.

2126
01:42:59.715 --> 01:43:04.595
And I'm pissed off
that I was put in that position.
I'm ashamed of what I did.

2127
01:43:05.512 --> 01:43:07.681
And that's why I'm drunk.

2128
01:43:08.891 --> 01:43:10.893
Queeg deserved better.

01:47:49.629 --> 01:47:53.091
[vocalizing]

2188
01:47:53.133 --> 01:47:56.803
I wonder, wonder
Wonder, wonder who

2189
01:47:56.845 --> 01:47:58.972
Got you thinkin' like that

2190
01:47:59.014 --> 01:48:02.309
Got you thinkin'
By yourself

2191
01:48:02.350 --> 01:48:04.769
Lookin' that girl
In the face

2192
01:48:04.811 --> 01:48:06.938
It's a sad affair

2193
01:48:06.980 --> 01:48:09.608
Ashamed of yourself

2194
01:48:09.649 --> 01:48:14.070
I wonder, wonder
Wonder, wonder who
