text: A voice-over narrator explains that Germany and France entered World War I in August, 1914 and, with the construction of a continuous line of fortified trenches stretching from Switzerland to the English Channel, a costly military stalemate set in. By 1916, "successful attacks were measured in thousands of yards and paid for by casualties in the hundreds of thousands."General George Broulard (Adolphe Menjou), an elderly member of the French General Staff, arrives from Paris at the headquarters (a magnificent chateau) of his subordinate, General Paul Mireau (George Macready), to inform him that a major offensive is planned for General Mireau's sector and, in preparation for this offensive, General Broulard wants Mireau's division to capture a well-defended German position nicknamed the 'Anthill'. Mireau balks at the idea, claiming that his division is in no condition to defend the Anthill, much less capture it. Broulard reluctantly mentions that, in a completely unrelated matter, he was thinking that Mireau was due for a promotion, not that this should sway his decision concerning the feasibility of an attack on the Anthill. After explaining to Broulard at great length that the men he commands mean more to him than "all the stars and decorations in France," the ambitious Mireau concludes that an attack on the Anthill just might work.Mireau undertakes an inspection of the front line trenches with his loyal and cynical staff officer, Major Saint-Auban (Richard Anderson). The general stops to ask several soldiers (who later become major characters) the question, "Ready to kill more Germans?" When one soldier (Fred Bell) fails to answer, merely staring straight ahead, his comrades reply that the soldier is suffering from shell shock. Mireau says there is no such thing as shell shock. When the general enquires about whether the soldier has a wife, the soldier replies that he'll never see her again since he's certain to be killed, to which Mireau scolds the soldier for acting like a coward. When the soldier replies that he is a coward, Mireau flies into a rage and strikes the soldier across the face, yelling that he wants this "little baby" transferred out of the regiment. As they continue through the trenches, Maj. Saint-Auban says that the general was right to do what he did and adds that he thinks that the high morale of the 701st Regiment is the direct result of the general's inspections, which Mireau denies, saying that their fighting spirit was just born in them.The commander of the 701st Regiment, Colonel Dax (Kirk Douglas), is greeted in his headquarters bunker by Mireau. When Maj. Saint-Auban makes a disparaging remark about the enlisted men, Dax takes offense and Mireau asks the major to leave them alone to discuss the coming assault. Dax is informed by Mireau of his plan to launch an attack on the Anthill, for which Dax shows little enthusiasm. Mireau criticizes Dax's lack of enthusiasm and threatens to have him relieved of command if he does not agree to his plan. Not wishing to be "taken away from my men," the colonel reluctantly agrees that the 701st Regiment will (attempt to) take the Anthill.That night, a patrol is ordered to be sent out to reconnoiter no-man's land, the space between the opposing trenches. Corporal Paris (Ralph Meeker) is among the two men chosen to accompany the half-drunk Lieutenant Roget (Wayne Morris) on this patrol. Cpl. Paris' fellow soldier remarks that the corporal does seem to like the lieutenant, to which Cpl. Paris replies that he knew Roget before the war and didn't have much respect for him then either. Lt. Roget, having sought to bolster his courage with alcohol, leads the patrol through the barbed wire, water-filled shell holes, and general wreckage that is no-man's land. When they come to a halt, Lt. Roget orders the third member of the patrol to scout forward on his own, against the objections of Cpl. Paris. As they wait for the third soldier to return, Lt. Roget becomes increasingly nervous, saying he must have been killed. Finally, in a panic, Lt. Roget throws a grenade into the darkness and runs back to the French lines, leaving Cpl. Paris behind. Cpl. Paris, crawling forward, discovers the third soldier lying in a shell hole, having been killed by Lt. Roget's grenade.A little later, when Cpl. Paris shows up at Lt. Roget's command bunker, the lieutenant acts as if he's happy to see that the corporal is still alive. But Cpl. Paris confronts him with his crimes: drunk on duty, cowardice in the face of the enemy, killing a fellow soldier, etc. Lt. Roget pretends to be sorry and points out that a court of inquiry is more likely to believe the word of a lieutenant than that of a corporal, so Paris might as well forget it all happened. At that moment Col. Dax arrives to pick up the report on the patrol, but Lt. Roget states that it isn't finished yet. Dax clearly sees there's something going on between Roget and Paris, but doesn't pursue the matter.Dax has a final meeting with his officers to explain how the attack on the following day will proceed. One officer asks what the weather is supposed to be like, to which the colonel replies "Too good" -- meaning no rain or fog to provide cover for the troops advancing across no-man's land. Another officer asks how long they will have to hold the Anthill once they've captured it. Dax replies that they will have to hold it (against enemy counterattacks) for the entire day. While the officers discuss the details of the assault, the enlisted men consider what they will face in the morning. Conversing in whispers with another soldier, Private Arnaud (Joseph Turkel) considers what his fellow soldiers are most afraid of: poison gas, high explosive shells, a bayonet in the gut... He points out that what everyone is afraid of is pain, not death, since everyone knows that he's going to die some day. His comrade, rolling over to get some sleep, replies "You're too smart for me, professor. All I know is, nobody wants to die."The following morning Mireau, accompanied by his ever faithful lackey Maj. Saint-Auban, stands in an observation post waiting for the attack to commence. He offers his fellow officers a drink and they respectfully decline, leaving the general to toast the success of the assault on his own.In the trenches, Dax is walking past the men of the 701st Regiment who are pressed up against the sides for cover against the artillery barrage, which is intended to screen the men as they advance towards the enemy (this was known as a 'creeping barrage'). The shells roar overhead and many fall perilously close, showering Dax and his men with clods of dirt and waves of dust. (In his initial discussion with Dax about the assault, Mireau included a figure for the likely percentage of men who would be killed by their own barrage when calculating the possible casualties. This was, in fact, an unavoidable reality in the First World War.) A whistle between his teeth and a revolver in his hand, Dax climbs a ladder as Sergeant Boulanger (Bert Freed), staring at his wristwatch, counts down "...three, two, one, zero!" As Dax blows his whistle and waves his men to "go over the top," a mass of French soldiers emerges from the trenches into the open of no-man's land. Carrying heavy packs, with their bayonets fixed, the men move forward as fast as possible, over torn remnants of barbed wire, down into and up out of shell craters, seemingly an inexorable wave. But shells burst amongst them and enemy machine gun fire can be heard. The men go down, a soldier here, another there, and more and more fall, individually and in heaps. Others behind them step over the bodies, only to drop and add to the piles. In the deafening confusion, covered in mud, Dax asks a sergeant next to him where 'B' Company is, to which the sergeant replies he doesn't know.Mireau in his observation post also notices the failure of 'B' Company to advance. The general flies into a rage and orders his artillery to commence shelling the trenches occupied by the troops of 'B' Company in order to force them to advance (if only to escape from the shelling). The Battery Commander, Captain Rousseau (John Stein) refuses to comply with Mireau's order. "Sir, you have no right to order me to shoot down my own men without an order in writing and signed by the general. What if you're killed, then where will I be?" The psychopath Mireau replies: "You'll be in front of a firing squad, that's where you'll be! Hand over your command and place yourself under arrest for an immediate court-martial!"Meanwhile, Dax, racing through the wreckage of his trenches, reaches Lt. Roget and 'B' Company. The drunk Roget pleads with Dax that they've already tried twice and taken far too many casualties. Ignoring him, Dax climbs a ladder while blowing his whistle, trying to encourage the men to "give it another try," only to have a dead soldier falling from above knock him off the ladder. Around them, all the soldiers are falling back to their trenches. Mireau is informed in his observation post that the attack has failed all along the line. He instructs Major Saint-Auban to have the 701st Regiment pulled out of the line and to assemble a general court-martial. "If those little sweethearts won't face German bullets, they'll face French ones!"The following day, Dax meets with Broulard and Mireau at headquarters, where the cynical Mireau accuses the entire 701st Regiment of cowardice and proposes to have 100 men from the regiment randomly executed. Dax strongly objects and Broulard intervenes to break up their argument. Broulard says they don't want to slaughter the French Army, they just want to set an example, to which Dax replies that if it's an example that's needed, the logical choice is the officer most responsible for the attack. (Implying, of course, that if anyone should face a firing squad, it should be the scumbag General Mireau.) Broulard loses his temper and shouts, "This is not a question of officers!" Regaining his composure, Broulard suggests that one man from each of the regiment's three companies should be chosen to be tried for cowardice in the face of the enemy. Although he initially objects, Mireau accepts Broulard's proposal. Before they leave, Dax requests to be appointed defense attorney for the accused men and Broulard agrees, chiding Mireau for "hiding" Dax, an obviously talented officer, from him. (Earlier in the film it's established that Dax was one of France's top attorneys before the war.) Outside in the hallway, Mireau confronts Dax and virtually orders him to step down as the defense attorney, but the colonel refuses. Mireau rails against him for his apparent disloyalty and promises to ruin his career when this is over. When Mireau catches up with Broulard, they are met by the Battery Commander, Captain Rousseau, who says that Mireau had ordered him to meet with the general. Thinking fast, Mireau lies and says that he wanted to speak to the captain about some of his shells falling short and dismisses him. Broulard recommends a public hearing, the last thing Mireau wants, but Mireau talks Broulard out of it and the matter is forgotten.Dax meets with the three accused men. They include the intellectual Private Arnaud, who was randomly picked by lot; Cpl. Paris, who Lt. Roget chose because he knows what Roget did during the patrol in no-man's land the night before the battle; and Private Ferol (Timothy Carey), who was chosen because his Company Commander considered him to be a "social degenerate." Dax explains that the reason they were chosen is irrelevant, since they are all charged with cowardice. He explains that he doesn't have much time (the trial is that afternoon) and he needs to prepare. Dax urges them to show the same courage that they have shown in the face of the enemy.At the chateau, Arnaud, Paris, and Ferol sit in chairs in front of a group of officers behind tables in a large room. The officer serving as the chief judge of the Court Martial (Peter Capell) begins the proceedings by calling one of the men to testify, but Dax immediately objects, pointing out that the men have the right to hear the charges against them read out. The officer serving as the chief judge replies that the court does not wish to waste time with technicalities and that basically the charges are that these three men showed cowardice in the face of the enemy during the attack on the Anthill. Having been appointed (by Mireau) as the prosecutor, Maj. Saint-Auban grills each of the three men in turn, with Dax cross-examining them to show that they are not cowards, all to little avail. The entire trial is a farce. Dax sees his men's rights violated by the cynical military judges (who are clearly acting under the orders of Mireau, sitting nearby). Dax is barred from entering any evidence relating to the case.In his closing argument to the judges, Saint-Auban asserts that the actions of the 701st Regiment during the attack on the Anthill were a stain on the honor of France and, as such, asks the court to find these men guilty and impose the penalty of death to make an example of them. Afterwards, Dax protests in his summation about the nature of the trial. Mireau speaks up, asking Dax if he questions the legitimacy of the court, to which Dax replies that he objects to the fact that he was given practically no time to prepare his case, no written indictment was ever made against the accused, that he was prevented from introducing evidence that would have been vital for the defense, that the prosecution presented no witnesses to back up their claims, and on top of all that, that no stenographic records of the trial were being kept. He says that the attack by the 701st Regiment on the Antihill was no stain on the honor of France, but this trial is such a stain. He warns the officers serving as judges: "Gentlemen of the court, to find these men guilty would be a crime to haunt each of you till the day you die," and pleads for mercy. The judges adjourn to deliberate.The next day, Sgt. Boulanger is placed in charge of the guards for the prisoners. He strides up and down the line of men under his command, explaining the regulations and pointing out that he has been made personally responsible for anything that happens involving these prisoners, but that he will ensure that, if there are any mistakes, he will pass on any punishment with interest to the men under his command.Inside the stable in which they are being held, Arnaud, Paris, and Ferol consider their options. Ferol thinks he's going to get out of it somehow. Paris is worried what his wife will think. Eyeing a cockroach on the table, Paris ruminates over the fact that if he's executed the cockroach will have more contact with his wife and children than he will, it will be alive, while he'll be dead. Ferol slams his hand down on the table and mutters, "Now you've got the edge on him." Dinner is brought in to the men. Ferol is suspicious that the food is drugged to make them groggy. Arnaud thinks Ferol is being stupid, but Ferol refuses to eat anyway. Finally a priest (Emile Meyer) arrives with news of the verdict; they've all been found guilty and will be executed in the morning. Ferol breaks down and the priest tries to comfort him. The priest asks Paris if he would like to make his confession, but Paris says that he's not a religious man and that if he began praying now, he would feel like a hypocrite. The priest tells him that that would be an error and promises him that God is there for him and that death comes to us all. Arnaud, being eaten alive by the injustice of their situation, doesn't take this well and mocks the priest, holding up a bottle of wine he is drinking and pretends to pray to it. The priest says that he is there to help them, but Arnaud replies that back in his home town there was a cafe with an amusing sign above the bar that read, "Do not be Afraid to Ask for Credit, for Our way of Refusing is very Polite." Arnaud becomes increasingly angry, while Paris tries to restrain him, but he breaks free and punches the priest. Paris then gets between them and warns Arnaud not to try anything, but Arnaud lunges forward and Paris is forced to slug him. Arnaud stumbles backwards, hitting his head on a stone column and a doctor is summoned. Having patched him up as best he could, the doctor remarks that Arnaud has a very serious skull fracture and he may not live through the night. The priest asks whether they intend to execute a man in this condition, but the doctor informs him that the death sentence will be carried out and recommends pinching his cheek to wake him up in the morning if he still alive, since Mireau wants him to be conscious when he's executed.That same night, Lt. Roget arrives at Dax's quarters, asking what the colonel wanted to see him about. Dax asks Roget why he chose Cpl. Paris to be court-martialed, saying that, of course the lieutenant had no personal motives for picking Paris. Visibly nervous, Roget replies that of course he had no personal reasons for choosing Paris, it was just that someone had to be chosen. Dax explains that he has the same problem, he has to find someone to be in charge of the firing squad and asks Lt. Roget if he would like the assignment. Taken aback, Roget protests by telling Dax he has never overseen an execution before. Dax explains that it is a simple matter: the two primary responsibilities are to offer the men a blindfold and to put a bullet in each man's head after the firing squad has finished. Despite additional protests by Roget, Dax dismisses him curtly from his quarters, telling him he's got the job. As Roget is leaving, the Battery Commander, Captain Rousseau, enters and tells the colonel that he has some information that may have an important bearing on the courts martial.Broulard is attending a lavish ball for general officers and other dignitaries when he is called away to the library, where he privately meets Colonel Dax. Dax confesses that his is not entirely a social visit, and the general protests that he doesn't want to go back over the whole affair, though he admits that, judging from the casualty reports, the 701st Regiment did make a serious effort. Dax asks him why, if that is true, the three men should be executed. Broulard says perhaps the attack was doomed to fail, but, on the other hand, with a little more effort, the 701st might have captured the Anthill. Broulard then gently accuses Dax of taking a narrow view of things, reminding him that the general staff is subjected to all sorts of unfair pressures from the press and politicians. Moreover, there's the matter of the troops' morale. "You see, colonel, troops are like children, and just as a child wants his father to be firm, troops crave discipline, and one way to ensure discipline is to shoot a man now and again." Dax asks the general, "Do you sincerely believe the things you've just said?" Broulard, making a tactical retreat, excuses himself to return to the party, but as they walk towards the door Dax brings up the subject of Mireau's order for his artillery to fire on his own troops during the attack. Broulard immediately slams the door to the library shut and turns around to face Dax while he continues to describe what happened. The general asks Dax if he expects him to believe something so fantastic. Dax produces the signed statements of Battery Commander Rousseau, the telephone operator, and his own observations, asking the general what the press and politicians would do with such material should it ever be made public. Losing his temper, Broulard shouts "Are you trying to blackmail me?!" Dax calmly explains that "too much has happened and someone has to take the blame. The question is who? A general launches an impossible attack and, on the same day, orders his artillery to fire on his own men. But when that same general tries to have three innocent men executed, those men are saved by the intervention of the general staff." Broulard pauses for a moment with the documents in his hand. Looking up at Dax, "If you'll excuse me colonel. I've been rude to my guests for too long." Broulard exits the room, leaving Dax alone.At dawn the next morning, Sgt. Boulanger opens the door to the stable to announce that it's time to leave. Cpl. Paris, struggling to act normal, tells the sergeant that he missed some great food the previous night. When the sergeant asks what they had, Paris can't answer, but asks if the sergeant has anything to drink. The sergeant hands him a canteen and tells him to take a swig. Paris begins to laugh, telling the sergeant that remarkably he hasn't had one sexual thought since the court martial and then crumbles to the ground weeping. The sergeant tells Paris to pull himself together, but Paris, sobbing, asks why he has to die. The sergeant reminds him that many of his comrades are likely to die in the near future in combat, but Paris, still sobbing, says he doesn't care, he still doesn't want to die. Finally, Sgt. Boulanger tells Paris that they have to go and that there are reporters present; how does he want to be remembered by his wife and children? Either he can walk out or be dragged out, in the end it's the same. Cpl. Paris collects himself, stands up and puts on his cap.With the rolling sound of drums in the background, the men of the 701st Regiment, standing at attention, are lined up on both sides of a path in a huge courtyard in front of a chateau on a beautiful sunny morning. The three condemned men slowly make their way down the path: Paris marching upright, staring straight ahead, Arnaud, unconscious and strapped to a stretcher, is carried along, and Ferol, completely unhinged, sobbing uncontrollably, has his arm around the priest who is accompanying him. They pass row upon row of soldiers; they pass the Regimental Band, drums still rolling; they pass a press photographer who takes their picture; they pass Broulard and Mireau, and they pass Dax. Finally they reach the posts they will be tied to in front of a wall of sandbags. Off to the side is a flatbed wagon with three coffins on it. The drums stop. The only noise is the sound of the firing squad's boots on the loose gravel as they march into position, with the cowardly Lt. Roget in command. Roget walks forward with blindfolds. Arnaud's stretcher is tilted up against the pole and the Sergeant pinches his cheek. In a groggy state, Arnaud looks with horror at the scene and appears to pass out once more. Skipping Arnaud, Roget offers Ferol a blindfold and, still crying, he accepts. Roget then comes over to Paris and asks if he wants a blindfold. Paris angrily says "no". Roget meekly says he's sorry for what he's done to him. Paris doesn't speak, but nods his head, implying that he accepts Roget's apology. Roget marches back to the firing squad, while Major Saint-Auban comes forward and, in a weak and halting voice (in complete contrast to his performance as the evil and cynical prosecutor) he reads out loud the orders for the execution. For a moment the only sounds are the chirping of the birds on a sunny morning. Lt. Roget shouts out: "Ready, aim, fire!"A little later in the château over breakfast, Mireau expresses his pleasure that the executions went so well, that none of the condemned men spoiled it by doing something that would leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth. "It had a certain splendor about it." Broulard, choosing his words carefully, notes that he has never seen an affair of this kind carried out so well. When Dax arrives, the gloating Mireau compliments him on his men dying well. Angry and disgusted, Dax says nothing. Suddenly, and to Dax's surprise, Broulard mentions to Mireau that the colonel had come to him the night before claiming that during the attack on the Anthill, Mireau had ordered his artillery to fire on his own men. Mireau flatly denies the allegation, but Dax states that he has signed testimony from numerous witnesses. Broulard says that it doesn't matter for he's certain that the general will come through it. "Come through what?" asks Mireau with concern. "There will have to be an investigation. An inquiry," but, Broulard notes, "the public will forget." Horrified, General Mireau stands up and shouts: "So I'm the scapegoat, the only completely innocent man in this whole affair!" Aware that his military career days are numbered, Mireau storms out of the room, claiming himself to be a true soldier.After Mireau leaves, Broulard comments that France's armies and military destiny cannot be guided by arrogant fools like General Mireau and then, turning to Dax, asks: "How would you like to have General Mireau's job?" Dax is again taken completely by surprise, and replies "You're offering me General Mireau's command?" The elderly general responds "Come come, my boy, we all know you've been after it from the start." Dax responds angrily: "I am a lot of things, but I am not your boy." Broulard sternly tells Dax not to get defensive around him, but with Mireau's days in the French Army numbered and aware that he will be forced to resign his command regardless of the inquiry to be brought on him, his command needs a replacement and Broulard assumes that Dax will do just right and it would be a shame for Dax to lose the promotion before it is ever given to him. Dax replies: "General, would you like me to suggest what you can do with that promotion?" Broulard becomes furious with Dax and shouts: "Colonel Dax, you shall apologize at once or I will have you placed under arrest!" Speaking in a subtle tone that quickly turns into anger Dax replies: "I apologize.... for not being completely honest. I apologize for not showing my true feelings. I apologize for not telling you sooner that you're a sick, degenerate, heartless, sadistic old man. And you can go to hell before I apologize to you now or ever again!"Briefly stunned by Dax's furious and defiant outburst, Broulard slumps back and sighs, now realizing that he was wrong about Dax. In a calm tone, Broulard shakes his head and responds by saying: "Colonel Dax, you are a disappointment to me. You've spoiled the keenness of your mind by wallowing in sentimentality. You really did want to save those three men... and you were not angling for General Mireau's command." The impassive and unfeeling Broulard then ridicules Dax by adding: "You're not a soldier. You're an idealist. For that I pity you as I would the village idiot. We're fighting a war, Dax. A war we've got to win. Those men wouldn't fight, so I had them shot; you brought charges against Mireau, so I demanded that he answer to them. Wherein have I done wrong?" Dax replies, "You really don't know the answer to that. I pity you for that." Dax leaves.Now outside, Dax wanders over to a tavern where he hears men from his regiment having a good time. (It's not clear if these are merely troops from the 701st or, perhaps, the men from the firing squad.) The proprietor (Jerry Hausner) brings a young German woman (Susanne Christaina), who is clearly frightened, on stage to entertain the troops. The men hoot and whistle and jeer; "Talk in a civilized language!" one yells out. Dax, standing outside, cringes in disgust, seeming to reflect his general disillusionment with not only generals Mireau and Broulard, but the entire human race. But as the girl begins to sing the German folk song, "The Faithful Hussar", the catcalls and whistles gradually die down and the men, captivated by the only decent, innocent being they've come in contact with for a very long time, begin to hum along; some of them even begin to shed tears.Outside the tavern, Sgt. Boulanger appears before Dax with word that the 701st Regiment has been ordered to return to the front. Dax, his faith in common humanity restored, tells the sergeant to give the men a few minutes more, and walks away to his office as his smile turns into a hardened look once again.THE END

text: with

text: the

text: three

text: accused

text: men

text: They

text: include

text: the

text: intellectual

text: Private

text: Arnaud

text: who

text: was

text: randomly

text: picked

text: by

text: lot

text: Cpl

text: Paris

text: who

text: Lt

text: Roget

text: chose

text: because

text: he

text: knows

text: what

text: Roget

text: did

text: during

text: the

text: patrol

text: in

text: no

text: man

text: 's

text: land

text: the

text: night

text: before

text: the

text: battle

text: and

text: Private

text: Ferol

text: Timothy

text: Carey

text: who

text: was

text: chosen

text: because

text: his

text: Company

text: Commander

text: considered

text: him

text: to

text: be

text: a

text: social

text: degenerate

text: Dax

text: explains

text: that

text: the

text: reason

text: they

text: were

text: chosen

text: is

text: irrelevant

text: since

text: they

text: are

text: all

text: charged

text: with

text: cowardice

text: He

text: explains

text: that

text: he

text: does

text: n't

text: have

text: much

text: time

text: the

text: trial

text: is

text: that

text: afternoon

text: and

text: he

text: needs

text: to

text: prepare

text: Dax

text: urges

text: them

text: to

text: show

text: the

text: same

text: courage

text: that

text: they

text: have

text: shown

text: in

text: the

text: face

text: of

text: the

text: enemy

text: At

text: the

text: chateau

text: Arnaud

text: Paris

text: and

text: Ferol

text: sit

text: in

text: chairs

text: in

text: front

text: of

text: a

text: group

text: of

text: officers

text: behind

text: tables

text: in

text: a

text: large

text: room

text: The

text: officer

text: serving

text: as

text: the

text: chief

text: judge

text: of

text: the

text: Court

text: Martial

text: Peter

text: Capell

text: begins

text: the

text: proceedings

text: by

text: calling

text: one

text: of

text: the

text: men

text: to

text: testify

text: but

text: Dax

text: immediately

text: objects

text: pointing

text: out

text: that

text: the

text: men

text: have

text: the

text: right

text: to

text: hear

text: the

text: charges

text: against

text: them

text: read

text: out

text: The

text: officer

text: serving

text: as

text: the

text: chief

text: judge

text: replies

text: that

text: the

text: court

text: does

text: not

text: wish

text: to

text: waste

text: time

text: with

text: technicalities

text: and

text: that

text: basically

text: the

text: charges

text: are

text: that

text: these

text: three

text: men

text: showed

text: cowardice

text: in

text: the

text: face

text: of

text: the

text: enemy

text: during

text: the

text: attack

text: on

text: the

text: Anthill

text: Having

text: been

text: appointed

text: by

text: Mireau

text: as

text: the

text: prosecutor

text: Maj

text: Saint

text: Auban

text: grills

text: each

text: of

text: the

text: three

text: men

text: in

text: turn

text: with

text: Dax

text: cross

text: examining

text: them

text: to

text: show

text: that

text: they

text: are

text: not

text: cowards

text: all

text: to

text: little

text: avail

text: The

text: entire

text: trial

text: is

text: a

text: farce

text: Dax

text: sees

text: his

text: men

text: 's

text: rights

text: violated

text: by

text: the

text: cynical

text: military

text: judges

text: who

text: are

text: clearly

text: acting

text: under

text: the

text: orders

text: of

text: Mireau

text: sitting

text: nearby

text: Dax

text: is

text: barred

text: from

text: entering

text: any

text: evidence

text: relating

text: to

text: the

text: case

text: In

text: his

text: closing

text: argument

text: to

text: the

text: judges

text: Saint

text: Auban

text: asserts

text: that

text: the

text: actions

text: of

text: the

text: Regiment

text: during

text: the

text: attack

text: on

text: the

text: Anthill

text: were

text: a

text: stain

text: on

text: the

text: honor

text: of

text: France

text: and

text: as

text: such

text: asks

text: the

text: court

text: to

text: find

text: these

text: men

text: guilty

text: and

text: impose

text: the

text: penalty

text: of

text: death

text: to

text: make

text: an

text: example

text: of

text: them

text: Afterwards

text: Dax

text: protests

text: in

text: his

text: summation

text: about

text: the

text: nature

text: of

text: the

text: trial

text: Mireau

text: speaks

text: up

text: asking

text: Dax

text: if

text: he

text: questions

text: the

text: legitimacy

text: of

text: the

text: court

text: to

text: which

text: Dax

text: replies

text: that

text: he

text: objects

text: to

text: the

text: fact

text: that

text: he

text: was

text: given

text: practically

text: no

text: time

text: to

text: prepare

text: his

text: case

text: no

text: written

text: indictment

text: was

text: ever

text: made

text: against

text: the

text: accused

text: that

text: he

text: was

text: prevented

text: from

text: introducing

text: evidence

text: that

text: would

text: have

text: been

text: vital

text: for

text: the

text: defense

text: that

text: the

text: prosecution

text: presented

text: no

text: witnesses

text: to

text: back

text: up

text: their

text: claims

text: and

text: on

text: top

text: of

text: all

text: that

text: that

text: no

text: stenographic

text: records

text: of

text: the

text: trial

text: were

text: being

text: kept

text: He

text: says

text: that

text: the

text: attack

text: by

text: the

text: Regiment

text: on

text: the

text: Antihill

text: was

text: no

text: stain

text: on

text: the

text: honor

text: of

text: France

text: but

text: this

text: trial

text: is

text: such

text: a

text: stain

text: He

text: warns

text: the

text: officers

text: serving

text: as

text: judges

text: Gentlemen

text: of

text: the

text: court

text: to

text: find

text: these

text: men

text: guilty

text: would

text: be

text: a

text: crime

text: to

text: haunt

text: each

text: of

text: you

text: till

text: the

text: day

text: you

text: die

text: and

text: pleads

text: for

text: mercy

text: The

text: judges

text: adjourn

text: to

text: deliberate

text: The

text: next

text: day

text: Sgt

text: Boulanger

text: is

text: placed

text: in

text: charge

text: of

text: the

text: guards

text: for

text: the

text: prisoners

text: He

text: strides

text: up

text: and

text: down

text: the

text: line

text: of

text: men

text: under

text: his

text: command

text: explaining

text: the

text: regulations

text: and

text: pointing

text: out

text: that

text: he

text: has

text: been

text: made

text: personally

text: responsible

text: for

text: anything

text: that

text: happens

text: involving

text: these

text: prisoners

text: but

text: that

text: he

text: will

text: ensure

text: that

text: if

text: there

text: are

text: any

text: mistakes

text: he

text: will

text: pass

text: on

text: any

text: punishment

text: with

text: interest

text: to

text: the

text: men

text: under

text: his

text: command

text: Inside

text: the

text: stable

text: in

text: which

text: they

text: are

text: being

text: held

text: Arnaud

text: Paris

text: and

text: Ferol

text: consider

text: their

text: options

text: Ferol

text: thinks

text: he

text: 's

text: going

text: to

text: get

text: out

text: of

text: it

text: somehow

text: Paris

text: is

text: worried

text: what

text: his

text: wife

text: will

text: think

text: Eyeing

text: a

text: cockroach

text: on

text: the

text: table

text: Paris

text: ruminates

text: over

text: the

text: fact

text: that

text: if

text: he

text: 's

text: executed

text: the

text: cockroach

text: will

text: have

text: more

text: contact

text: with

text: his

text: wife

text: and

text: children

text: than

text: he

text: will

text: it

text: will

text: be

text: alive

text: while

text: he

text: 'll

text: be

text: dead

text: Ferol

text: slams

text: his

text: hand

text: down

text: on

text: the

text: table

text: and

text: mutters

text: Now

text: you

text: 've

text: got

text: the

text: edge

text: on

text: him

text: Dinner

text: is

text: brought

text: in

text: to

text: the

text: men

text: Ferol

text: is

text: suspicious

text: that

text: the

text: food

text: is

text: drugged

text: to

text: make

text: them

text: groggy

text: Arnaud

text: thinks

text: Ferol

text: is

text: being

text: stupid

text: but

text: Ferol

text: refuses

text: to

text: eat

text: anyway

text: Finally

text: a

text: priest

text: Emile

text: Meyer

text: arrives

text: with

text: news

text: of

text: the

text: verdict

text: they

text: 've

text: all

text: been

text: found

text: guilty

text: and

text: will

text: be

text: executed

text: in

text: the

text: morning

text: Ferol

text: breaks

text: down

text: and

text: the

text: priest

text: tries

text: to

text: comfort

text: him

text: The

text: priest

text: asks

text: Paris

text: if

text: he

text: would

text: like

text: to

text: make

text: his

text: confession

text: but

text: Paris

text: says

text: that

text: he

text: 's

text: not

text: a

text: religious

text: man

text: and

text: that

text: if

text: he

text: began

text: praying

text: now

text: he

text: would

text: feel

text: like

text: a

text: hypocrite

text: The

text: priest

text: tells

text: him

text: that

text: that

text: would

text: be

text: an

text: error

text: and

text: promises

text: him

text: that

text: God

text: is

text: there

text: for

text: him

text: and

text: that

text: death

text: comes

text: to

text: us

text: all

text: Arnaud

text: being

text: eaten

text: alive

text: by

text: the

text: injustice

text: of

text: their

text: situation

text: does

text: n't

text: take

text: this

text: well

text: and

text: mocks

text: the

text: priest

text: holding

text: up

text: a

text: bottle

text: of

text: wine

text: he

text: is

text: drinking

text: and

text: pretends

text: to

text: pray

text: to

text: it

text: The

text: priest

text: says

text: that

text: he

text: is

text: there

text: to

text: help

text: them

text: but

text: Arnaud

text: replies

text: that

text: back

text: in

text: his

text: home

text: town

text: there

text: was

text: a

text: cafe

text: with

text: an

text: amusing

text: sign

text: above

text: the

text: bar

text: that

text: read

text: Do

text: not

text: be

text: Afraid

text: to

text: Ask

text: for

text: Credit

text: for

text: Our

text: way

text: of

text: Refusing

text: is

text: very

text: Polite

text: Arnaud

text: becomes

text: increasingly

text: angry

text: while

text: Paris

text: tries

text: to

text: restrain

text: him

text: but

text: he

text: breaks

text: free

text: and

text: punches

text: the

text: priest

text: Paris

text: then

text: gets

text: between

text: them

text: and

text: warns

text: Arnaud

text: not

text: to

text: try

text: anything

text: but

text: Arnaud

text: lunges

text: forward

text: and

text: Paris

text: is

text: forced

text: to

text: slug

text: him

text: Arnaud

text: stumbles

text: backwards

text: hitting

text: his

text: head

text: on

text: a

text: stone

text: column

text: and

text: a

text: doctor

text: is

text: summoned

text: Having

text: patched

text: him

text: up

text: as

text: best

text: he

text: could

text: the

text: doctor

text: remarks

text: that

text: Arnaud

text: has

text: a

text: very

text: serious

text: skull

text: fracture

text: and

text: he

text: may

text: not

text: live

text: through

text: the

text: night

text: The

text: priest

text: asks

text: whether

text: they

text: intend

text: to

text: execute

text: a

text: man

text: in

text: this

text: condition

text: but

text: the

text: doctor

text: informs

text: him

text: that

text: the

text: death

text: sentence

text: will

text: be

text: carried

text: out

text: and

text: recommends

text: pinching

text: his

text: cheek

text: to

text: wake

text: him

text: up

text: in

text: the

text: morning

text: if

text: he

text: still

text: alive

text: since

text: Mireau

text: wants

text: him

text: to

text: be

text: conscious

text: when

text: he

text: 's

text: executed

text: That

text: same

text: night

text: Lt

text: Roget

text: arrives

text: at

text: Dax

text: 's

text: quarters

text: asking

text: what

text: the

text: colonel

text: wanted

text: to

text: see

text: him

text: about

text: Dax

text: asks

text: Roget

text: why

text: he

text: chose

text: Cpl

text: Paris

text: to

text: be

text: court

text: martialed

text: saying

text: that

text: of

text: course

text: the

text: lieutenant

text: had

text: no

text: personal

text: motives

text: for

text: picking

text: Paris

text: Visibly

text: nervous

text: Roget

text: replies

text: that

text: of

text: course

text: he

text: had

text: no

text: personal

text: reasons

text: for

text: choosing

text: Paris

text: it

text: was

text: just

text: that

text: someone

text: had

text: to

text: be

text: chosen

text: Dax

text: explains

text: that

text: he

text: has

text: the

text: same

text: problem

text: he

text: has

text: to

text: find

text: someone

text: to

text: be

text: in

text: charge

text: of

text: the

text: firing

text: squad

text: and

text: asks

text: Lt

text: Roget

text: if

text: he

text: would

text: like

text: the

text: assignment

text: Taken

text: aback

text: Roget

text: protests

text: by

text: telling

text: Dax

text: he

text: has

text: never

text: overseen

text: an

text: execution

text: before

text: Dax

text: explains

text: that

text: it

text: is

text: a

text: simple

text: matter

text: the

text: two

text: primary

text: responsibilities

text: are

text: to

text: offer

text: the

text: men

text: a

text: blindfold

text: and

text: to

text: put

text: a

text: bullet

text: in

text: each

text: man

text: 's

text: head

text: after

text: the

text: firing

text: squad

text: has

text: finished

text: Despite

text: additional

text: protests

text: by

text: Roget

text: Dax

text: dismisses

text: him

text: curtly

text: from

text: his

text: quarters

text: telling

text: him

text: he

text: 's

text: got

text: the

text: job

text: As

text: Roget

text: is

text: leaving

text: the

text: Battery

text: Commander

text: Captain

text: Rousseau

text: enters

text: and

text: tells

text: the

text: colonel

text: that

text: he

text: has

text: some

text: information

text: that

text: may

text: have

text: an

text: important

text: bearing

text: on

text: the

text: courts

text: martial

text: Broulard

text: is

text: attending

text: a

text: lavish

text: ball

text: for

text: general

text: officers

text: and

text: other

text: dignitaries

text: when

text: he

text: is

text: called

text: away

text: to

text: the

text: library

text: where

text: he

text: privately

text: meets

text: Colonel

text: Dax

text: Dax

text: confesses

text: that

text: his

text: is

text: not

text: entirely

text: a

text: social

text: visit

text: and

text: the

text: general

text: protests

text: that

text: he

text: does

text: n't

text: want

text: to

text: go

text: back

text: over

text: the

text: whole

text: affair

text: though

text: he

text: admits

text: that

text: judging

text: from

text: the

text: casualty

text: reports

text: the

text: Regiment

text: did

text: make

text: a

text: serious

text: effort

text: Dax

text: asks

text: him

text: why

text: if

text: that

text: is

text: true

text: the

text: three

text: men

text: should

text: be

text: executed

text: Broulard

text: says

text: perhaps

text: the

text: attack

text: was

text: doomed

text: to

text: fail

text: but

text: on

text: the

text: other

text: hand

text: with

text: a

text: little

text: more

text: effort

text: the

text: might

text: have

text: captured

text: the

text: Anthill

text: Broulard

text: then

text: gently

text: accuses

text: Dax

text: of

text: taking

text: a

text: narrow

text: view

text: of

text: things

text: reminding

text: him

text: that

text: the

text: general

text: staff

text: is

text: subjected

text: to

text: all

text: sorts

text: of

text: unfair

text: pressures

text: from

text: the

text: press

text: and

text: politicians

text: Moreover

text: there

text: 's

text: the

text: matter

text: of

text: the

text: troops

text: morale

text: You

text: see

text: colonel

text: troops

text: are

text: like

text: children

text: and

text: just

text: as

text: a

text: child

text: wants

text: his

text: father

text: to

text: be

text: firm

text: troops

text: crave

text: discipline

text: and

text: one

text: way

text: to

text: ensure

text: discipline

text: is

text: to

text: shoot

text: a

text: man

text: now

text: and

text: again

text: Dax

text: asks

text: the

text: general

text: Do

text: you

text: sincerely

text: believe

text: the

text: things

text: you

text: 've

text: just

text: said

text: Broulard

text: making

text: a

text: tactical

text: retreat

text: excuses

text: himself

text: to

text: return

text: to

text: the

text: party

text: but

text: as

text: they

text: walk

text: towards

text: the

text: door

text: Dax

text: brings

text: up

text: the

text: subject

text: of

text: Mireau

text: 's

text: order

text: for

text: his

text: artillery

text: to

text: fire

text: on

text: his

text: own

text: troops

text: during

text: the

text: attack

text: Broulard

text: immediately

text: slams

text: the

text: door

text: to

text: the

text: library

text: shut

text: and

text: turns

text: around

text: to

text: face

text: Dax

text: while

text: he

text: continues

text: to

text: describe

text: what

text: happened

text: The

text: general

text: asks

text: Dax

text: if

text: he

text: expects

text: him

text: to

text: believe

text: something

text: so

text: fantastic

text: Dax

text: produces

text: the

text: signed

text: statements

text: of

text: Battery

text: Commander

text: Rousseau

text: the

text: telephone

text: operator

text: and

text: his

text: own

text: observations

text: asking

text: the

text: general

text: what

text: the

text: press

text: and

text: politicians

text: would

text: do

text: with

text: such

text: material

text: should

text: it

text: ever

text: be

text: made

text: public

text: Losing

text: his

text: temper

text: Broulard

text: shouts

text: Are

text: you

text: trying

text: to

text: blackmail

text: me

text: Dax

text: calmly

text: explains

text: that

text: too

text: much

text: has

text: happened

text: and

text: someone

text: has

text: to

text: take

text: the

text: blame

text: The

text: question

text: is

text: who

text: A

text: general

text: launches

text: an

text: impossible

text: attack

text: and

text: on

text: the

text: same

text: day

text: orders

text: his

text: artillery

text: to

text: men

text: But

text: when

text: general

text: tries

text: three

text: executed

text: those

text: saved

text: by

text: the

text: intervention

text: of

text: the

text: general

text: staff

text: Broulard

text: pauses

text: for

text: a

text: moment

text: with

text: the

text: documents

text: in

text: his

text: If
