Soldiers!

Presentat arm!

Let's start!

"In the name of the French people.

The first war council
of the military government of Paris

on December 22, 1894
acknowledged Dreyfus Alfred,

captain
of the XIV Artillery regiment,

General Staff trainee,
guilty of high treason.

Therefore condemns him to
deportation to a fortified place

and military degradation. "

Alfred Dreyfus, you are no longer worthy
to carry weapons.

In the name of the French people,
we degrade you.

Soldiers!

They degrade an innocent!

They dishonor an innocent! Long live France!

- Long live the army!
- To death!

- To death!
- Traitor!

- To death!
- To death the Jew!

You are a traitor!

Picquart, what does he do?

That of a Jewish tailor

- who cries for the gold he has lost.
- To death!

The traitor to death!

To death!

- Coward!
- To death!

Cursed!

- To death!
- Damn traitor!

- To death!
- Traitor!

I'm innocent!

The Romans left the Christians to
lions, we Jews. We progress.

What was the climate at the end of the ceremony?

As if a healthy body
had been purged of a plague

and life resumed its course.

Too bad, the Minister of War
cannot attend these events.

- Have I been sued?
- No, Minister.

It does not matter. You have done a good job.

We were impressed with how you get there
you are behaved. True, Boisdeffre?

Sure. Colonel Sandherr
were you able to attend the ceremony?

- He was there, general.
- his tremors?

He could control them.

His condition will not improve.

You will replace it.

With all due respect, I have not
experience in the secret services.

You will have to acquire it.

The punishment given to Dreyfus will show
to the world how we treat traitors.

I want to send it to a place where
don't have anyone to talk to.

- The penal colony of Cayenne?
- No, better yet.

A desert rock where he will be alone,
the island of the devil.

Are they still talking about that damned Jew?

Picquart. You knew him, didn't you?

- Sorry. Who
- Dreyfus.

He was my pupil at the War School.

- Do they treat him like that because he's Jewish?
- Yes. I'm a lawyer.

I say a Catholic officer
he would have had a regular trial.

Do you agree, Picquart?

He was denied regular trial
for national security issues

that could not be disclosed, but
the evidence against him was not lacking.

I almost forgot!

With Philippe I discovered a
Alsatian restaurant on Rue Marbeuf.

- Wonderful.
- Excellent restaurant.

- I'll try it.

- Greater!
- Captain.

Major, I did something
who offended you?

No.

You are the only professor
for giving me a bad mark.

Maybe I don't value your skills
as much as you.

Not because I'm Jewish?

I am careful that the feelings
do not influence my judgment.

If you have to be careful,
it is a plausible hypothesis.

If you are asking me if I appreciate
Jews, my answer is no.

If you imply that I have an attitude
professionally discriminating

I assure you not.

Never.

It was a beautiful day.
You are tired?

A little, but I had a lot of fun.

- Georges, I'll help you.
- Come on, honey.

He will go to Brussels on Wednesday.

- You can come?
- Yup.

Do you ever feel guilty?

- He's not my husband.
- You know what I mean.

Why at fault?
You were with me before it arrived.

I don't understand why you married him.

He asked me.

Not you.

Do you think he knows about us?

No.

- Why?
- If he knew, he would kill me.

KNOCKING AT THE DOOR

- Are you sure he's in Brussels?
- So he said.

KNOCKING AT THE DOOR

- Who is it?
- Telegram.

- Major Picquart?
- Yup.

Thank you.

- It's from General Gonse.
- Who is it?

He is the head of the secret services.

- He wants to see me tomorrow morning.
- Dear! You are in trouble?

I prayed
that this day never came.

Colonel Sandherr can no longer
to direct the Statistics section.

It pains me to know.

From now on you will take his place.

You will be promoted to Lieutenant Colonel.

This makes you the youngest
army colonel.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

Always keep me up to date with everything.

Got it, young man?
I hate bad surprises.

Major Henry will show you the offices.

He expected to get
this assignment?

My God, no! It is too rough.
The wife's father is the innkeeper, I think.

- You are not married.
- No, general.

- Is there a reason?
- No.

Is there anything that could expose you to blackmail?

No.

I am forced to ask, you understand it.

Major Henry, come in.

- General.
- Colonel Picquart

will direct the Statistics section.

- Welcome him.
- Of course, general.

Colonel.

Here we are.

- I thought it was uninhabited.
- Nobody disturbs us here.

I don't doubt it.

Bachir!

Good morning, major.

Colonel Picquart
takes command of the section.

Bachir knows every secret here.

- It's true?
- Yup.

LAUGHS

What is this racket?
You are heard from the street.

Stop!

Police officers, whistleblowers.
They are useful.

Colonel Sandherr did them
stay here to check them.

- What is this smell?
- Don't tell me about it, the sewers.

The whole neighborhood stinks.

I present captains Junck and Valdant.

- What are they doing?
- They check the correspondence.

Valdant uses the dry method,
Junck the steam.

- Are they private letters?
- Now no longer.

Rest, captain.

You will remember Captain Lauth
of the Dreyfus affair.

Colonel Picquart is the new chief.

What are you doing?

I'll tell you later.

You will also remember Gribelin, the archivist.

Colonel Picquart
replaces Sandherr.

You have things stored!

Well, keep going.

Here is the phone
and here is my office.

No secretaries,
the colonel didn't trust them.

This was his office.

- So now it's mine.
- We'll have to get used to it.

Here are your keys. lngresso,
office, drawer, safe.

Thank you. What was Lauth working on?

He made up the correspondence
of the German military attaché.

- Colonel Schwartzkoppen.
- Private letters?

Yup.

- Is the minister aware?
- Sure.

We follow his stories with pleasure.
He has had a relationship for years.

- It's so strange?
- Yup.

He's got it in for the Italian military officer,
Major Panizzardi.

Divine goodness!

How do we get your letters?

Come on, I'm the head of the section.

The cleaning lady of the
German embassy, Marie Bastian.

Every week he delivers us
the contents of the trash.

They are important documents, not
unfortunate tickets of an inverted.

Remember this?

- The "bordereau" of Dreyfus.
- It was six pieces.

Lauth glued them on
has erased the signs of the tears.

So it is not clear where it comes from.
Without this we would not have taken it.

Good job.

We framed it for Sandherr
when they degraded the traitor.

Well. Thank you, major.

- I think we'll get along.
- Thank you, Colonel. I hope.

"I send you
some interesting information.

A note on the hydraulic brake of the
120 and the functioning of the part.

A note on cover troops.

One on the changes
to artillery units.

The artillery shooting manual
field. March 1894. "

I can?

We recovered one
week ago at the German embassy.

- Where are the documents you mention?
- Probably in Berlin.

Who is the spy?

What does the bordereau say?

He is an artillery officer.

He served in all four
the departments of the General Staff.

The only ones who did it are yours
students of the War School.

- It amazes me that there is a traitor.
- One is.

We would like a sample
of the handwriting of each officer

- who made this rotation.
- Sure.

The gunners who served
in the four departments.

"Souriau." "Gaston. Corbin."

"Dreyfus. Etienne." Dreyfus!

- The Jew?
- He is the only Jew among them.

Could it be him?

It could very well be him.
It's best to show it to Du Paty.

Major Du Paty? Do you take care of this?

Yes, Major Du Paty
he is a passionate investigator.

Picquart, you're going to get Dreyfus in from there.

Henry, you will hide behind the map.

I'll pretend I hurt my finger.

I will ask him to write
a letter that I will dictate to him.

Cochefert ... You and your colleague
you will be seated. Take the chair.

You will be sitting here
to proceed with the shutdown.

Gribelin, you will take notes.

Then...

When he confesses ...

I will offer him to accept
the only honorable solution.

- It's at the entrance.
- Picquart, go.

Position yourself. Good luck.

- Good morning, major.
- Captain.

Forgive clothing.

I am called to a meeting
of officers of the General Staff.

- "In bourgeois clothes."
- Exactly.

What a relief!

- I thought of a joke.
- It's not a joke. I accompany you.

- Don't bother.
- I insist.

There is too much silence, don't you think?

Well. Now I have to say goodbye.

Goodbye, major.

Come on.

- Mrs. Sandherr?
- Yup.

I'm Colonel Picquart,
successor to your husband.

You have his place. What do you want?

- Leave us alone.
- Who is it?

- Picquart.
- I called him, let him in.

- Good morning, colonel.
- Come closer, Picquart.

I have some things that will come in handy.

In the secretary, down there.

There is one thing you must have.

Down.

The bag, open it.

They are secret funds, 48,000 francs.
Now they are yours.

In the desk, in the ... drawer
in the center there is a folder.

Do you see it?

Yes, here it is.

- Who I am?
- People suspected of treason.

People to be arrested in case of war.

- All?
- Yes, 2500 names.

Gribelin has the main list.

- One hundred thousand foreigners to be arrested.

- Divine goodness!
- That's not all, the Jews are missing.

It is shameful for my wife
that he was retired.

Instead I am happy
to be forgotten.

When I see so many foreigners around me

I notice the degeneration of the
our moral and artistic values.

Then I realize
not to recognize France.

- I'll try to protect the country.
- Go ahead, for what's left!

Colonel.

Good morning, Bachir.

- Good morning, colonel.
- Sorry for the inconvenience.

Major Henry! A word, if you allow.

Colonel. You are an early riser.

- Some changes will have to be made.
- Changes?

I don't want those shady guys here anymore
inside. We will establish the passes.

- Then Bachir is maddening.
- Do you get rid of Bachir?

He will have another assignment.
Meanwhile we put a bell.

- Well, colonel.
- What's in the bag?

The last delivery of Marie Bastian.

- When is it from?
- last night.

He leaves her in a church near my house.

- Are you taking her home?
- It's just my wife and me.

This is not why. Documents
such should be brought here right away.

I will keep them in the safe.

I will decide which tracks to follow
and to whom to entrust the task.

Sandherr was happy with my job.

Sandherr is consumed by syphilis.

He has a general paralysis
and brain damage.

That's all.

Well, colonel.

One last thing. The next delivery
I will withdraw the Bastian myself.

- Then?
- It's a telegram.

"I await more detailed explanation

than the one you gave me the other
day on the pending issue.

Please give it to me in writing for
understand if I can continue my ... "

- Mine?
- "My relationships.

My relationship with R.'s house "

He didn't send it. There is the address behind it.

"Mister Major Esterhazy.
Rue de la Bienfaisance.

Walsin Esterhazy, 74th regiment
Infantry stationed in Rouen. "

Rouen.

"The house of R." Is there another traitor?

I want a list of inspectors
more trustworthy, someone discreet.

- I'll ask Major Henry.
- No.

It will remain between us. Currently
we won't talk to anyone about it.

- Colonel Picquart?
- Yup.

- Jean Alfred Desvernine of security.
- Perfect.

I have an assignment for you, a delicate case.

There is a name inside.

I want to know everything about him.
How he lives, who attends.

Especially if he has relationships
with the German embassy.

It is a delicate matter.
Don't come to the ministry.

- How long will it take?
- Give me a week.

- "Apollo." Is it Greek?
- No, it's a Roman copy.

- The original is lost.
- lntendete that it is a fake.

No, it's a copy. It is different.

- I'd rather have told you.
- It does not matter.

I had asked Lauth
not to tell anyone.

- Maybe nobody thinks of me.
- Who says otherwise?

- Can I give you some advice?
- Sure.

The new ones of the trade think
that the first suspect individual

that they meet is a great spy.

Esterhazy is stuck in Rouen, she hasn't
access to confidential material.

It is a small fish.

Judging by this too
Schwartzkoppen doesn't consider it.

Keep an eye on him,
but don't waste too much time.

Thanks for your advice.

There he is.

- I assume it's not the wife.
- No.

Marguerite Pays,
prostitute, twenty six years old.

- It is known as "Margherita Four Fingers".
- Are you joking?

No.

He fixed it
in an apartment in Montmartre.

I thought he was stationed in Rouen.

- He never goes there.
- Never?

A curious detail. He signs up
always in artillery courses.

But it's not in the artillery.

It is better to go.

What is the next move?

In front of the German embassy
there is a palace.

There is an empty apartment for rent.

The Germans use the ground floor
as a canteen for officers.

We should bring some material there.
It will be risky and expensive.

- Isn't it enough to follow Esterhazy?
- You saw it, he's shrewd.

He would notice immediately.

- Rent the apartment.
- Yup.

- Good morning.
- Colonel.

Schwartzkoppen is with Panizzardi,
the Italian military officer.

You arrive at just the right time.

PLEASURE GEMITl

Here is Schwartzkoppen.

Here is Alessandro Panizzardi.
He is a handsome young man.

The ambassador, Count Munster ...

and diplomats and officers
that we haven't identified yet.

- Isn't Esterhazy there? - No.

Colonel, go away.

My God! They are in love.

Gentlemen,
what you are about to see is secret.

Our cannons
they fired two shots per minute.

Today I present to you the cannon 75.

It has a hydropneumatic brake
which absorbs the energy of the shot.

Avoid recalculating your target
after the hit.

- So the shooting cadence has increased tenfold.
- Gunners, to the posts!

For a twelve round shot. Loaded.

- Charger ready.
- Shooter ready.

Fire!

If the Germans come back to visit us,
they will have a warm welcome.

- At 75!
(together) At 75!

Colonel Picquart?

- Yup.
- Colonel Foucault.

I'm the military attaché in Berlin.
Will you give me a moment?

Yup.

- Will play a decisive role in battle.
- I am sure.

You know about the infiltrator in the services
German secrets?

- Cuers?
- Cuers.

He says the Germans have a spy
in our army.

- Did he say the name?
- You don't know him.

He is 50 years old and commands a battalion.

For two years, information has passed
second order

especially regarding artillery.

I wanted to let you know.

Thanks, I'll take care of it.

It is appropriate to make a toast.

- To health!
- To ours.

Then? What's so urgent?

- Interesting.
- What he holds is interesting.

- A stick?
- No. This.

- How long did it take between the two photos?
- Twelve minutes.

- Takes no precautions.
- He doesn't care.

Good heavens, which is done today!

- What does General Gonse say?
- I haven't told you yet.

- Why?
- I wanted to limit it

to a limited circle of people.

- I'd like to inform the minister.
- Why?

War Minister Billot
asked to warn him of all this

- which can create political problems.
- All right, you can tell him about it.

But be discreet. I do not want to
another Dreyfus scandal.

Esterhazy ... Esterhazy ...

This name is familiar to me.

Did you know him?

Evoke memories
in my old head.

Minister.

Check the records
about ... What is the name?

Marie Charles Ferdinand Walsin
Esterhazy, 74th Infantry.

- How will you proceed?
- It's not easy.

Aside from the photos,
we have an unsent telegram

and chatter of an agent in Berlin
unusable.

So ... you have to find the evidence.

- Are we going to open an investigation?
- Sure.

Boisdeffre doesn't want any more scandals
Dreyfus.

Scandal is not to punish him.

Minister, Esterhazy wrote two
times this summer.

But look!

"I request the transfer from Rouen
to the General Staff of Paris. "

- How impudent!
- He wants to discover secrets

- and make a lot of money. Could I have them?
- Yup.

Thank you.

Name and profession.

Alphonse Bertillon, chief
of the judicial identity service.

You are a graphologist.

You compared the note
addressed to the foreign embassy

- with the spelling of the accused.
- Yup.

You have no doubts that they are written
from the same person.

I have no doubt.

There are similarities, but also
many differences. Le O, the double S.

- You say it yourself.
- Yes, however they are intentional.

It is an autofalsification operation.

The bordereau has been written
on an extremely thin sheet.

Like this. No letters are written
on sheets like that. This allows ...

Forgive. I can? allows
to have perfect transparency.

So to use a model below
to be able to copy it.

There is one word in particular.

That is the word "interest".

I reproduced it with a netting
five millimeters

and a twelve millimeter shape
and a half. Notice the harness.

It is an overlap of the letters
a millimeter and a quarter.

Here we see an enlargement
even more detailed than the word.

What do you notice?
Each time you see a scrap.

The waste is one and a quarter millimeters.

It is impossible for a hand

who performs natural writing
reproduce an identical path.

It's one in a million cases.

So I say that Dreyfus has
falsified his own handwriting

in case it was discovered.

You said I'm guilty
because the handwriting is mine.

Yup.

But I'm equally guilty too
if the handwriting is not mine.

Yup.

Major, what will you say to the minister?

The probabilities of conviction
do not exceed 50%.

Why?

What motive can it have?
It can't be money.

His personal resources are
twenty times the pay of a captain.

You have not found a motive.

You should see the evidence we have
against that Jew.

In an letter an officer
calls it "that rogue of D".

- "Rogue of D." Then use it.
- Do we betray our secret source?

- Hearings are behind closed doors.
- There are Dreyfus and his lawyer!

If I described the content
of our files to the Court?

You have already made the deposition.

- If you talked to the President of the Court?
- With all due respect.

I am here to observe,
not to intervene.

Then I'll take care of it.

The Court was informed that the
your deposition was not complete.

I didn't want to reveal secret information.

- Now you can reveal them.
- If the court insists, I will.

In March a very reputable person ...

An extremely reputable person
he informed us of a traitor

that conveyed secrets
to a foreign power.

In June, he reiterated the report
more precisely.

Keep going, major.

The traitor he named is that man.

Keep calm.

- Do you swear it's true?
- I swear.

Affirmation has no value without
the witness.

Can you say the name?

- Impossible.
- Here the secrets are well kept.

An officer has secrets
that not even his chepì knows.

Major Henry concluded thus
the deposition.

Was it decisive?

- It was certainly spectacular.
- But not decisive.

He spoke by hearsay.

To the Statistics section they have a
dossier with evidence against Dreyfus.

According to them,
the judges should see it.

I agree.

Certainly Dreyfus e
his lawyer can't see it.

- It will be reserved for judges.
- It's a violation of the procedure.

Theoretically yes, but it is vital
that the judges see it.

This in the name of truth
and justice.

You understand that, Major Picquart.

Minister.

Colonel.

"In the name of the French people.

The first war council
of the military government of Paris

issued the following sentence.

Today, December 22, 1894, the first
Paris War Council

hear requisitions and conclusions
of the government commissioner,

declares the accused Dreyfus Alfred,

captain
of the XIV Artillery regiment,

State trainee
Major, unanimously guilty.

In 1894 he passed on to the agents
of a foreign power

secret or confidential documents
concerning national defense.

In addition, he held an exchange
of information with this power

to procure such power
the means to perform hostile acts ... "

I thought you had forgotten me.

- Because you forgot me.
- Absolutely not.

Philippe will not be returning tonight.

- Remember?
- Sure my dear.

I've been thinking about it for weeks.

- I'll make you dinner.
- You're kind.

"What a horrible nightmare I am experiencing
for almost two years, my dear Lucie.

Guards have a ban
to speak to me.

The days go by
without me talking to anyone.

The isolation is such that it seems to me
to have been buried alive.

If it were only for me, I would have been
already let slip into the grave.

But it is no longer alone
of my life, but of my honor,

of the honor of all of us,
of our children's lives.

Recently they put me on the fence
every evening. I don't know the reason.

It is not a precautionary measure.

It is a form of hatred.

It's kind of ... torture. "

Georges!

Sorry, I couldn't sleep.

- How long have you been there?
- For quite a while.

Are they letters? Love letters?

It does not matter. Really me
I can't hope for loyalty.

It's nothing, I assure you.

- Is it just work?
- Yes, it's just work.

Hurry.

Fifteen and eight.

Lord.

- Colonel Picquart.
- Bertillon.

I replaced Sandherr
to the Statistics section.

I know.

What can I do for you?

I have these documents.
I wish I knew what you think.

- I never give an immediate opinion.
- Maybe in this case, yes.

Yes, it looks the same.

Yup.

But yes!

It's the same. Yup.

Well?

They are equal?

Calligraphy is identical
at the bordereau of Dreyfus.

You would be willing
to affirm it in writing?

Of course, if you wish.

If I told you
that are not written by Dreyfus?

I would say that the Jews taught
someone to write

with the calligraphy of Dreyfus.

I want to see Dreyfus' file.

- Major Henry has it.
- The major is on leave.

Yup.

Then give it to me.

Don't wait for the major's return?

Why do you contest my orders?
Find the dossier.

- Is that all?
- Yup.

Has not been
most affected by the war council.

"My dear friend...

I enclose twelve Nice management plans

that that rogue of D
he gave me for you.

He said he will do his best
to satisfy you. Alexandrine?

Don't fuck too much. "

I'd like to speak to you.

- It's urgent?
- If I don't disturb.

Let us.

- Thank you for your time.
- It's always a pleasure, Picquart.

But I'm busy with the preparations
for the visit of the tsar.

What's so urgent?

The case I told you about days ago.

Major Esterhazy.

Esterhazy?

- Can I make room?

- Sure.
- Thank you.

You already know these.

Divine goodness! What's all this?

We have a serious problem, general.
The sooner we solve it, the better.

Esterhazy wrote to get transferred.
I got them from the minister.

I noticed the similarity
of calligraphy with document

which sanctioned the guilt of Dreyfus.

I showed them to Bertillon, the graphologist.

- Remember?
- Yup.

Confirm that the calligraphy is identical.

I have reviewed the secret file
of evidence provided to judges

who presided over the martial court.

No, wait.

- Does the secret file still exist?
- Of course, here it is.

I was surprised
from the fragility of these tests.

Only one letter alludes to Dreyfus e
also in that case use the initial D.

All of this
should have been destroyed.

Mercier had told Sandherr
to get rid of it after the trial.

It didn't.

But perhaps the main problem
it is not the existence of the dossier.

What do you mean?

It is the bordereau, the calligraphy.

Dreyfus is innocent.

Go to General Gonse.

He is in charge of the secret services.

You should have turned to him
from the beginning.

Of course, general.

But in the interest of the army
we must act immediately.

I know what the army's interest is.
Inform General Gonse.

He's in his licensed country house.

General.

Captain!

I thought I was clear.

I don't want another Dreyfus deal.

It's not another Dreyfus affair,
it's the same.

Picquart!

- Welcome to the countryside.
- General.

What good wind?

Come. Here we go?

So we haven't arrested
the real culprit.

I'm afraid not.

The bordereau could be written
only by an artillery officer

who knows the four departments.
It can't be Esterhazy.

It's Dreyfus.

This was our mistake
leaving.

If you look closely,
you will find that they were only known.

One on the cannon, one on the troops
coverage and one on Madagascar.

They were not official documents. No thanks.

It was a bunch of rumors gathered together
by a money-hungry man.

It's not Dreyfus, it's Esterhazy.

I can give you a suggestion,
dear Picquart?

Sure.

Forget the bordereau.

- I apologize?
- Investigate Esterhazy if you like.

- But leave the bordereau out.
- It's evidence against Esterhazy.

A war council has decided
who wrote it. The case is closed.

If we find out
that Esterhazy is the traitor?

We won't find out.

The case is closed for the reason
what I've said.

We want it closed.

But the Dreyfus family does not accept it.

A leak and they will accuse
the army of having hidden the truth.

What do you propose?

- Do another trial on Dreyfus.
- Another trial?

- Are you crazy?
- Is it inconceivable?

Sure. Everyone would wonder why
such a mistake has been made!

They would arrive at the secret file.
It is unthinkable.

Why?

It would embarrass us!

I don't understand you. We know the
your opinion on the chosen race.

What do you care
if a Jew is imprisoned on an island?

He is innocent.

How sentimental you are!

Lambs, newborn kittens
and Dreyfus. They are all innocent.

Speak as if you have affection
for him, but it is not so.

I'd rather be guilty,
but the traitor is Esterhazy.

Maybe it's Esterhazy or maybe not.

If you don't say anything, nobody will ever know.

It is an abominable advice.

I should bring this secret
in the grave?

Sure!

This is the essence
of our profession.

I have nothing else to add
on the matter.

Don't bring up Dreyfus. It's an order.

KNOCKING AT THE DOOR

Come on.

- Colonel, I'm going away.
- Good night.

- I should close the doors.
- Leave the keys, I'll do it.

- If you want, I can stay.
- There's no need. Leave the keys.

"The request...

I got myself a cartridge
of the Lebel rifle. Dubois.

My dear sodomite,
I saw M. Dubois this morning.

We have to meet today. "

Found something interesting?

- Who is Dubois?
- Jacques Dubois.

He works in a printing service
of the Ministry of War.

So Schwartzkoppen's note that
you said allusion to Dreyfus

"I enclose 12 Nice management plans

that that rogue of D
he gave me for you "...

do you really refer to Dubois?

- Maybe.
- How "can it be"?

Who can best provide Nice plans?

Dreyfus or Dubois who knows him
German and Italian military workers?

This? It's your handwriting.

Here you declare to the judges that a
Spanish military officer told you

that there was a traitor
in the General Staff.

Exact.

"The Germans have an officer
that informs them.

Find it, Henry.
If I knew the name, I would tell you. "

But in short! How can it come out
from the mouth of a Spanish marquis?

I paraphrased.

So if I asked the marquis if there
said these things,

- would you confirm?
- No, he would lie like everyone does.

Stop it, this dossier is fake!

Did you mention this to General Gonse?

- I told him that Dreyfus is innocent.
- What did he tell you?

- He said leave it alone.
- Then forget it.

They are the bosses. We perform
orders or we are nothing.

I don't know if Dreyfus is innocent
and I don't care.

If you order to kill, I do it.

If you then tell me that you are wrong
person, it pains me.

But it's not my fault, it's the army.

Maybe it's your army,
but it's not mine.

Good night, major.

Good night.

Colonel.

- Good idea.
- I do what I can.

- Don't compromise the source.
- They won't know anything.

You took some time!

- Did we have an appointment?
- No, we didn't.

- I passed.
- You have never done this before.

I should have done it more often.

It is a small and very quiet section.

- Where's the file on Dreyfus?
- ln safe.

Be nice, give it to me.

Thank you. From now on if you don't have
objections, I'll take care of it.

- Can I know why?
- No.

- Is that all?
- Of course.

- Do you have copies?
- No.

Well.

Major Henry will hand over to me
the material of Mrs. Bastian.

You can change the procedure, not the facts.

It is normal for it to be delivered
to the head of the secret services.

- Goodbye.
- General.

You are lovely. Where's Philippe?

A crisis in the ministry.
It will come for the second part.

What happened to you?
We haven't seen you for a long time.

The colonel no longer sees any of us.

- Attend other spheres.
- No.

No champagne? Then it's serious.

- What's wrong with you, Georges?
- Your husband is here.

Forgive me for being late,
but it was a state affair.

Picquart, I'm glad to see you.

I guess you don't
still read the newspaper.

Look, the facsimile
of the bordereau of Dreyfus.

We can finally see it.
Damn journalists!

- It's important?
- Yup.

Some heads will fall for sure.

"The proof. The facsimile
of the bordereau written by Dreyfus. "

Colonel, you command a ship
that makes water everywhere.

You're right, it's a violation
scandalous of state secrecy.

It does not end here.

We have an anonymous letter.

They warn us that Esterhazy will be
reported to the Chamber of Deputies

as an accomplice of Dreyfus. What do you think?

I am dismayed, but ... Someone is
trying to sabotage my investigation.

- Picquart!
- Check yourself.

It is an intolerable accusation!

You are obsessed with the idea
to replace Esterhazy at Dreyfus!

Nothing will stop you. I should do you
arrest for gross negligence!

It's a bad situation, Picquart.
You disappoint me.

I didn't tell anyone about the investigation
and I'm not obsessed.

I have a track that Esterhazy leads me to.

What would you do if you had a try
Are you sure Dreyfus was a spy?

If it were certain, I would accept it.
But there is no such evidence.

We intercepted a letter
recent of Major Panizzardi

to Colonel Schwartzkoppen.

Here is the passage that interests us.

"I read that a Member will present
an interpellation on Dreyfus.

If in Rome they should ask me
explanations, I will say

that I have never had any relationship
with that Jew, of course.

If they ask you, you will say the same.

Nobody will ever find out
what happened with him.

Here it is. How about?

- I can see it?
- No.

When did it arrive?

He got it
Major Henry two weeks ago.

I hope you don't doubt
the integrity of Major Henry.

If you are sure that document
it's authentic, I won't.

- Do you admit that Dreyfus is guilty?
- If the document is authentic, yes.

Seen your service status

we will not take action
disciplinary measures against you.

However we demand

that you entrust the documents to us
of your investigation into Esterhazy.

You will leave Paris
and you will start an inspection tour

of security measures
in the garrisons of the East.

- Are you leaving me forever?
- No, you're only going to be away for a few days.

Lord! Who are you looking for?

- Lawyer Leblois.
- I've seen it before.

You are Colonel Picquart.

Excuse me.

Lock release

- Georges!
- Good morning, Martha.

Come on, come in.

Don't you eat in the army?

In Africa the worst thing is food.
I missed French cuisine.

It was delicious. Thank you.

- Would you like to stay here?
- If I can. Only one night.

You no longer have the apartment?

- I don't want to go.
- Why?

- I'm afraid he's under surveillance.
- From who?

See those two?
They are plainclothes policemen.

How do you know it?

They worked for me.

The generals understand
that I would not have kept silent.

Then they sent me to do one
inspection in the Somme, then in Nice.

Later in Marseille, Algiers and Tunisia.

I didn't even have the time
to go home.

- I ended up in an African regiment.
- You could have told us.

They intercept my correspondence
and stalk me.

They wanted to send me last week
in Tripoli. A suicide mission.

My God!

So I understood that I had to go back
in Paris at any cost.

- Can you try all this?
- Sure.

You have to make it public.

It's tough for me, you know.

Since I'm 18,
the army is my life.

- I'd like to avoid a scandal.
- But it's already a scandal.

- A question!
- Do you think Dreyfus is innocent?

Major Esterhazy says
that you work for Jews.

I'm General de Pellieux,
I command the Seine department.

They instructed me to lead one
investigation into the evidence you have collected

about Major Esterhazy.

- You have understood?
- Yes, general.

- Do you recognize this?
- Yup.

It is the telegram written to Esterhazy
by Schwartzkoppen never sent.

Who gave it to Captain Lauth
to recompose it?

The.

There is no evidence that it comes from the embassy.

- You may have added it to the documents.
- Yes, but I didn't.

Did you know it was falsified?

They canceled the address
and added the name of Esterhazy.

It happened after my departure.

- You falsified him.
- Why would I do that?

Work for a Jewish union
who wants Dreyfus free.

You made the evidence
to blame Esterhazy.

It was not needed.

The bordereau is proof
of his guilt.

Yes, the bordereau!

I am glad you mention it.

- Did you send a copy to "Le Matin"?
- No.

- Did you give information to the press?
- No.

You spoke to Leblois
of the investigation into Esterhazy?

- Yes, but I can explain.
- No use.

Disclose confidential information
it's a crime.

Leblois told a member of the
Senate that reported to the government.

- I don't know how it got to the press.
- You have no idea!

How much information have you revealed
to Mrs. Monnier?

La Monnier?

Philippe Monnier's wife
of Foreign Affairs.

- You're not involved.
- It's not for you to judge.

Do you recognize them?

They are personal letters
stolen from my house!

- They try to bond with the lady.
- You searched the apartment!

Esterhazy saw documents
of your investigation into him.

You keep them indoors. He had them
by a woman who wore a veil.

- We think it's Ms. Monnier.
- Wore the veil?

- There is nothing to laugh about.
- It's a low-level melodrama.

- Will we talk about the essential facts?
- Don't be impertinent.

Esterhazy's handwriting
it is identical to that of the bordereau.

We investigate you!

Dreyfus' file
it contained false evidence.

It is not relevant.

- Am I under arrest?
- Not yet.

Forgive me, but your investigation
it's a farce and I don't want to be part of it.

Sit.

We are not done.

Colonel. Colonel!

Thank you.

KNOCKING AT THE DOOR

Here, drink.

They told Philippe.

I knew he would react
violently if he knew.

After that general ...

- Pellieux?
- Yes him.

When he's done interrogating me,
they took me back in a carriage.

Philippe was waiting for me.

He sent the girls to his sister.

He said I'm not worthy
to be a mother.

He won't let me see them later
divorce. Can he really do it?

No, of course not.

You need a lawyer.
We will ask Leblois.

Then you will leave Paris for a while.

- Why?
- To avoid printing.

Do you have a place to go?

I can go to my sister in Toulon.

Well.

You?

I will get by.

- We have arrived.
- Yes thanks.

- Good evening ladies.
- Good evening.

Well arrived.

- Our guest, Mr. Charpentier.
- Nice to meet you.

- It is the largest publisher in Paris.
- You flatter me.

- Thanks for this meeting.
- It is an honor. You are welcome.

Here we go.

Gentlemen, here is Colonel Picquart.

Colonel.

- Meet Senator Arthur Ranc.
- Pleasure.

- Joseph Reinach.
- Pleasure.

Member of the Chamber of Deputies.

They coordinate the political campaign.

Georges Clémenceau,
columnist for "L'Aurore".

Colonel.

Mathieu Dreyfus.

For three years he has been fighting to get
justice for his brother.

My family and I
we are extremely grateful to you.

You don't have to thank me,
I just listened to my conscience.

Finally I have the honor to introduce you
Emile Zola.

I am your great admirer,
Colonel.

I of your works.

The General Staff has entered the
position to protect the culprit

Marie Charles Ferdinand Esterhazy,
to keep Dreyfus in prison.

This is why I have been the mind
of a conspiracy against Esterhazy.

- Therefore I must be punished.
- What will happen to you?

I will be arrested, Monsieur Clémenceau.

Arrested and perhaps expelled from the army.

The army is so dull!

It is the only way to hold
Dreyfus on the island.

It is stunning!

- We are ashamed of being French.
- How can we help you?

We need to tell this story,
people have to understand.

As an officer on duty I cannot
say nothing about it.

You no.

But I do.

Maybe I'll end up on the Devil's Island.

- Dreyfus will be happy to have company.
- How can you joke?

I can't stand the idea
to know you alone in a cell.

It does not matter.
It is a fortress, not a prison.

I will devote myself to reading.

I'm sorry I involved you.

I got involved on my own.

KNOCKING AT THE DOOR

Colonel Picquart.

I have an arrest warrant
of the Minister of War.

Can I have the weapon?

Buy "L'Aurore"!

Emile Zola's letter!
Dreyfus defended by Zola!

Emile Zola's letter to the president!

Buy "L'Aurore"!

Boy!

Boy, come on. Can we stop?

What does it say?

"We are witnessing this infamous show.

The innocence of individuals is proclaimed
laden with debt and crime

and you hit a man
from whole life.

When a company goes that far,
it decomposes.

Certain things are not published!

("I accuse the lieutenant colonel
Du Paty de Clam)

(to have been the architect
of this miscarriage of justice. ")

("I accuse General Mercier
that he made himself an accomplice)

(of one of the worst iniquities
of the century.")

("I accuse General Billot
to have had)

(evidence of Dreyfus' innocence
and choking them.)

(He made himself guilty
of injured humanity and injured justice)

(for political purposes and to save
the General Staff compromised. ")

("I accuse General de Pellieux
and Major Ravary)

(to have conducted an investigation
dominated by monstrous partiality.)

(In the second report we have
a monument of naive audacity. ")

("I accuse the expert calligraphers
to have made fraudulent reports)

(unless they are affected
from vision and judgment diseases. ")

"I accuse generals Boisdeffre
and Gonse of the same crime.

One for clerical fanaticism,
the other for a spirit of body

which makes the ministry of war
the holy and unassailable ark ... "

"I accuse the first war council
to have sentenced an accused

based on a secret document.

I accuse the second council of
war to have covered the illegality

committing the crime of acquitting
knowingly a culprit.

"In making these accusations

I know I run into articles
30 and 31 of the press law

who punishes defamation offenses
and I run you by my will. "

- Traitor!
- To death!

Traitor!

- Traitor!
- Emile Zola, to death!

- To death!
- You must die!

- My dear Georges.
- Louis!

- Are you OK?
- Yup.

- Well.
- Give me that.

Wow!

- What a lovely place!
- Right?

- Take a seat.
- Thank you.

Zola has been sued.

- From the army?
- No, from the government.

- When will he be judged?
- Soon, in two weeks.

Two weeks.

Zola and Clémenceau would like you
as a witness.

- Yes sure.
- Well.

They have the most aggressive lawyer
of Paris, Fernand Labori.

Labori.

- Do you know him?
- No.

- They call him "the Viking". No?
- No.

Bastard!

- Picquart, you're a bastard!
- Traitor!

Bastard!

Swear to speak without hatred
and fear and tell the whole truth?

I swear.

- Your name?
- Marie Georges Picquart.

Place of residence?

Fortress of Mont-Valérien,
prison wing.

Lawyer Labori.

You can tell the court
who knows about the Esterhazy affair?

In spring 1896 I found
the fragments of a telegram.

He was from a country's military attaché
foreigner to Major Esterhazy.

It revealed that Esterhazy
she sent him information.

So I had Esterhazy watched.

Four months later he wrote
for an assignment to the General Staff.

Twice!

The handwriting corresponded to that
of the document known as bordereau

attributed to Major Dreyfus.

The first expert confirmed it
commissioned by the government.

Inform your superiors
of this news?

- Sure.
- What did they say?

They said they kept the two cases separate.

Major Lauth, can you come closer?

You said you felt

than Colonel Picquart
added the telegram

secret documents not yet examined.

- That's what I believe.
- Colonel Picquart.

This does not make it a truth.

Colonel Henry, come closer.

Thank you, Major Lauth.

You said you saw it

Colonel Picquart show
the dossier to the lawyer Leblois.

Yes. He was in his office.
He showed him the document

in which Dreyfus defines himself
"that rogue of D".

- Wrong. I haven't shown it to anyone.
- I saw it.

- I can't say more.
- Can I ask you a question?

How far did you get in?

My head was in the crack
of the door.

- How could you tell it apart?
- I saw it well.

Calligraphy is not clear from
close, let alone from that distance.

I know that document
better than anyone and I've seen it.

Do you want light to be made? Be it!
I will say how things are.

- Colonel Picquart lies!
- Mister President!

You heard Colonel Henry
give me a liar

and Major Lauth insinuate
that I made the telegram.

Do you know why? All
the architects of the Dreyfus case ...

- Colonel!
- Henry, Gribelin, Lauth

on the orders of General Gonse

they cover the colonel's mistakes
Sandherr, a sick man.

- Sit down!
- Do you know what my crime is?

To believe that honor is not defended
with blind obedience.

That's enough!

Maybe I'll be kicked out of the army
that I love and to whom I have given 25 years.

Well so be it.

I still believe it was my duty
seek truth and justice.

In this way we should
serve the army.

- That's enough!
- Honestly.

- Good boy!
- You will pay her for this insult.

Silence!

General Pellieux, come to the bar.

- We listen to you.
- Nothing has been said about the Dreyfus affair.

It is "res iudicata", what is judged,
but seen how it was ...

As Colonel Henry says,
"Do they want light to be shed? And let it be."

In November 1896 it came
to the Ministry of War

the certain proof of guilt
by Dreyfus. I saw it.

It's a letter from a military attaché
stranger to another. It says so.

"Questions arise about the Dreyfus affair.

Never admit relationships
that we had with that Jew. "

- I ask to speak.
- Forgive me! I have the floor.

- I ask that the document be produced.
- Lawyer Labori!

General Gonse, come closer.

The army is not afraid of anything.

But documents of this nature
remain confidential.

Summon General Boisdeffre.

- He will confirm.
- Then call him.

- Good boy!
- Long live the Republic!

Long live the army!

Long live the Republic!

- Long live the general!
- Good boy!

Long live France!

Long live the Republic!

Good boy!

Silence.

Silence!

We listen to you.

I heard about the
deposition of General Pellieux.

I confirm all the points.
It is precise, it reflects the truth.

I have nothing else to say.

But gentlemen ...

Let me add one thing.

You are the jury.

You are the nation.

If the nation no longer trusts
in the leaders of his army

in whom has responsibility
of national defense

we leave this task to others.

- Good boy!
- It's a coup.

They resign if they don't
the verdict they demand?

- You don't have the floor. General, thank you.
- I have questions for him.

You don't have the floor.

Colonel Picquart
it means something.

Colonel, come closer.

If the generals Pellieux and Boisdeffre
they had not revealed its existence

I wouldn't have talked about it.

Now I am dispensed
by the oath of secrecy.

The letter they speak of, this
irrefutable proof is a forgery.

- Cowardly and liar!
- Buffoon!

- It's a lie!
- Silence!

Silence!

The question is as follows. Emile Zola
has published lies

designed to compromise honor
and the reputation of the army?

Jury members,
what's your verdict?

On my honor and my conscience

the jury's verdict is ...
Yes, the accused is guilty.

Good boy!

By virtue of this, the Court condemns you
one year imprisonment

- and a fine of three thousand francs.
- Yup!

Good boy.

- Long live France.
- Good boy!

- Long live France!
- It's right!

It's right!

Gentlemen. If one of you is hurt,
the duel will be interrupted.

After inspection of the wound, if the
wounded, the duel will resume.

On guard!

To you!

Mister referee, that's ridiculous!

Stop!

Doctor! Examine the wound.

It's nothing, he missed you by a hair.

- That man is crazy.
- No, he's desperate.

I'm fine!

It's nothing!

I'm ready.

On guard!

To you!

Stop!

No! I can continue.

Give me a minute!

Visit.

- Who are you?
- Labori.

Then? What is life like at the Santé?

Mont-Valérien was better.

I have a present for you.

"Colonel Henry admitted today
to be the author of the letter

October 1896
in which Dreyfus was named.

The Minister of War
he ordered Henry's arrest.

He is now in Mont-Valérien. "

- Why did you confess?
- He had no choice.

His letter was hurt.

He pasted pieces
that didn't match.

Poor imbecile!

They will have to go through the process again
and repatriate Dreyfus.

I'll call Henry to the bar.
We will bring down the government.

Here it is, it's Picquart!

- Colonel!
- A question!

- Gentlemen, a moment.
- Silence!

I'm satisfied.

After a year in prison the government has
dropped the charges against me.

He also decided to review
the condemnation of Captain Dreyfus.

- I ask that Esterhazy be arrested.
- Esterhazy challenged you to a duel.

What will you do?

He is a criminal,
justice will take care of him.

And he.

I'll kill you, you filthy coward!

- I will have satisfaction!
- Look for it with your whores.

Coward! Traitor! Dirty Jew!

THUNDER

- First name.
- Alfred Dreyfus.

Speak louder.

Alfred Dreyfus.

- Age?
- Thirty-nine years.

- Birth place?
- Mulhouse.

- Degree?
- Captain, graduated from the General Staff.

You are accused of high treason.

- How do you declare yourself?
- I'm...

I'm ... I'm innocent.

For the umpteenth time, on honor
of my name and my children.

Colonel, I swear. I'm innocent.

Behind front!

Pied'arm!

Let Mercier speak.

I ordered to deliver
a dossier of evidence to the judges.

It was a secret document
and had to stay.

I add one thing. I'm a man
honest son of honest man.

If I had a doubt, I would admit it.

I'd say to Captain Dreyfus
that I made a mistake.

Then say it!

But is not so. Since 1894 nothing has
made my belief falter.

It has been strengthened by efforts
painful to prove his innocence.

Not to mention the millions spent
for him from the Jewish international.

Mister President,
can I interrogate the witness?

Given the time, we will continue tomorrow
listening to the witness.

- But how?
- The sitting is canceled.

You can go, general.

ALARM SOUND

Georges!

- Are you ready?
- I'm coming!

Picquart! Gast!

Good morning, Labori.

- Are you ready for battle?
- Very ready.

We're going to blow General Mercier
with the arsenal you provided me.

My God!

- Hurry! Help!
- Stay with him!

- They shot him!
- Help me!

Help!

Stop him! Murderess! Stop him!

"In the name of the French people.

Today, 9 September 1899,

the war council
of the 10th Legion of the Army Corps

declares the accused Dreyfus Alfred,

captain
of the XIV Artillery regiment,

with five votes against two,
guilty of high treason. "

Long live France!

TOGETHER:
Buuu!

"With the same majority they come
given the surrounding mitigating circumstances.

Therefore the Court commutes the sentence
in ten years in prison. "

Mitigating circumstances!

Watch over my wife.

Sure.

Sorry if I kept you waiting.

I was leaving the house and it has arrived
Mathieu Dreyfus.

What did he want?

They offered grace to the brother.

- He wanted advice.
- Wonderful!

- What did you tell him?
- You don't have to accept.

- But it will be free.
- Free, but technically guilty.

- He hasn't seen his children in five years!
- You must resist. We will win.

If he stays in prison, we'll do it first.

- Waiter! A cognac.
- Immediately.

Now that your divorce is official,

- maybe we could get married.
- We could.

Do you think we should do this?

- Do you want me to ask for your hand?
- Not particularly.

Why?

Honey, if you ask me
in this way, it doesn't make much sense.

Do not you think?

Forgive me.

Will you marry me?

No.

Seriously? Waste?

You are not a wedding type
and after all I am not.

We continue as before.

Minister,
Major Dreyfus is here.

Let him in.

General.

Greater.

You are welcome.

Take a seat.

- Have you been here before?
- No, Minister.

Then.

- What did you want to discuss?
- Of my rank.

My promotion to major non
takes into account the years of captivity.

Your eight years
outside the army are considered

as if you had spent them
in service. It's unfair.

I consider it a prejudice.

I understand. What should I do about it?

Promote myself to the rank that belongs to me.

- What would that be?
- Lieutenant Colonel.

- This requires a special law.
- It should be done, it would be right.

- It is not possible.
- Why?

The law would not pass.
The political climate has changed.

It is already difficult to work with them
who were our enemies.

- Why reopen the matter?
- Because it's the right thing.

I'm sorry, it's not possible.

- If that's all ...
- Yes, that's all.

I am sorry that in these years I have not
we were able to speak privately.

No, in fact.
Not since the morning of my arrest.

Yes. Sorry for the role
that I had in this sad farce.

You have recovered very well.

It's nice to have done all of this
and finally be elected to the government.

Yet it is strange to say, but ...

- I wouldn't be here without you.
- No, general.

You are here to get it done
your duty.
