Shut up! Dirty pooch!

Shut up !

My poor, we make you miseries.

Why you throw stones to the prisoner's dog

he did nothing to you!

He can't stop yelling ...

That's not a reason.

If it is a reason. I can't take it anymore. I can't sleep anymore ...

All day and all night he yells!

It is because he is unhappy.

I don't give a damn!

Follow me, paul.

Ah, my commander. Hello.

Hello.

Where is the manager's office located?

Second on the left, my commander.

Chief Warrant Officer Dujeux. At your orders my commander.

Why is he barking like this dog?

He's the prisoner's dog, my commander.

Ah, the famous dog.

How many inmates you have at the moment ?

One. my commander.

Tell me, did you go to war?

Definitely my commander I was a hunter.

Wounded twice ...

The first on the shoulder, and the second on the ... on the marl.

That's why ... - Yes.

Tell me, is there a hotel nearby?

The travelers' hotel ... A stone's throw away.

100 meters from the main square.

Well, it's simple, but ... - It will be fine.

Paul ... go book two rooms At this hotel, and drop off your luggage.

And will I come back to get you?

Not useless, I will go on foot.

At your orders my commander.

Will you show me the way?

At your orders my commander. - Okay, let's go see the inmate.

And he also yells at night, this dog?

At night too, yes.

Do the locals say nothing?

Oh ... there is no morebig world in the neighborhood since the war.

And then I believe ...

with all due respect, my commander,

they remember that these cells

Were full of types ...

who went to court martial because that they wanted to save their skin.

And that means that people take the prisoner's party?

Hmm ... not from him in particular, but ...

you understand, this is the last.

And then his dog story ... It tenderized the world.

It's there.

Go up there!

Watch out!

I'm fine Dujeux, You can dispose.

Good my commander.

I’m Squadron Leader Lantier du Grez

responsible for judging your case.

Stay like this, I don't mind.

Good.

Morlac.

Jacques.

Civilian farmer.

Mobilized in May 1915.

Hmm ... that's it ...

We first consider you as breadwinner no doubt

which earned you a respite.

Then assigned to Champagne ...

and after you have been appointed with your unit,

to join the army of the Orient.

Arrived at Thalamite in June 1916.

Hmm ...

I never found it very obvious, me, this campaign in the Balkans.

We on the Somme,

we have always considered types of the army of the Orient,

like hiding places running gentle on the beaches.

Well...

And it is there that you you are distinguished?

My congratulations ...

It really took an action of one exceptional bravery, right?

To be awarded the region of honor.

Especially to a simple corporal ...

Finally I don't understand that a guy who received the legion of honor

may be guilty of this who is accused of him today.

I imagine you were drunk ...

Hmm?

War has shaken all of us.

it happens that our memories catch up with us.

And to escape them we have a drink ...

One stroke too many.

Surely it is.

So apologize, express sincere repentance

and we will go no further.

I was not drunk, and I regret nothing.

and no one will force me to apologize.

Have you had this dog in a long time?

Since the beginning.

Since the beginning of what?

Since the gendarmes came to get me.

You don't offer me a cigarette?

I only have tobacco.

So then we gathered you in Nevers.

To take a train to the East.

And the dog?

Your name ? - Morlac.

Shoe size ? - 42.

Your name ? - Juliot.

Shoe size ? - 43.

Your name ? - Mandate.

Shoe size ? - 42.

Come on, get a little hot!

What are you doing?

Come on!

Come !

Come on, come on!

Yeah...

I spent part of the war with the English in the Somme.

and many had dogs

When I was put in charge of your case, I thought about them.

Basically ... you created with this beast, a comrade-in-arms relationship.

and it will count in my report, you will have an indulgence.

I don't want you to write to it, it's wrong !

I will never sign.

Gently Morlac, what is it taking from you?

What I did is against politicians.

Profiteers who send others get killed in their place!

Heroism, bravery, patriotism ...

there are still unfortunates who believe in this bullshit.

What you are saying is unacceptable.

You insult the Nation, it's unacceptable. - The nation ?

I gave her too much to this one.

That's enough like that.

Let's stop for today.

So...

the travelers' hotel, after the big square. You'll fall on it.

You must be thirsty to bark like that.

Huh?

Come on.

Yes...

Hmm ...

It’s chicory, real coffee we can't find.

Norbert Qu�riel, confessed ...

Commander Lantier du Grez, military judge.

You are here for Morlac.

Yes indeed. You know him ?

Because of my profession, and alas of my age I know everyone in this city,

and even in the region ...

When I saw them pass July 14 with his dog,

I was far from suspecting the continuation ...

What did you think of it?

Very surprised, I did not expect not like that

Before the war, he was a guy without story, a guy like the others.

Did he receive instruction?

Not too much ... after the municipal school, he went to the fields to help his father.

He had friends?

Some peasants like him, they were back on market days,

or from time to time in the balls ...

Finally I believe, but ... we can't know everything.

No political commitment?

Not that I know of, but you know here, people they vote like themcurs ...

And no woman?

I do believe so.

So you who know everyone,

you must know who it is.

Valentine, Valentine Duprin ...

She lives on the edge from the hamlet of Loges.

She has family?

They all died in a Measles epidemic ...

but she has a child.

Ah well, but of what age?

I think three years.

Is he from Morlac?

I don't know.

We cannot know everything.

Have a nice day. - Likewise.

Gentlemen ...

A packet of gray, please

and rolling paper.

There, sir ... uh ... captain ... - Commanding officer.

And give me a tinder lighter too.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Goodbye gentlemen.

He's the military judge. It is there for Morlac it seems.

Doesn't sound like a joke.

Poor Morlac.

Poor Morlac, poor Morlac. He had not not to laugh

He can still cry now.

Oh if he doesn't cry it's okay, it's a bacon head, Morlac.

It's like the dog, he keeps yelling

What it’s already called, the little one that he frequented Morlac?

Valentine. They have a kid.

Between them two? - A 3, � 4 ... Maybe more. Who knows.

Shut up then.

If we were talking about your women like that, behind your back, huh?

Ah ... don't get mad Mathilde ... Go give it to us instead.

Come on, stand up Morlac. Beware ...

Things are going well. Thank you Dujeux.

Are you a bit calm?

Are we going to be able to resume?

Westayed ... You were going east.

What happened there?

We were taught � become good soldiers.

Good cannon fodder.

And then, direct to the pipe breaker.

Damn, your dog is the best.

You had permission in the first six months.

Yes.

Did you come here? - Hmm.

With your dog.

No, he stayed there.

The guys took care of kui.

Then, therefore, you were affected for the army of the Orient,

and you got on on a military boat.

No, it was not a military boat it was a freighter requisitioned.

Hey, Morlac ... Look at your dog.

Well done.

Here, gift. - Uh ...

Come on, go to bed.

And the officers agreed the presence of the dog?

We didn't see the officers.

They were in the middle to not be seen stacking.

The sub-offs, then ...

The sub-offs ...

It suited them well that the dog do a little cleaning in the holds.

And arrived in Salonica, How did it go?

A funny place.

I think I've never seen so much different mouths.

There are French, English, Italians, Greeks ...

plus Serbs, Senegalese,

Armenians, Albanians, Turks ...

and even annamites.

But it's still a general French who commanded.

Commanded?

Order what? No one spoke the same language.

Nobody knew what to do.

We stayed on the harbor for a few days, the time to land everything.

with old cranes which wedged everywhere.

Hold.

Thank you.

There were the officers who fidgeted on their horses

They were giving orders, and then counter orders.

Nobody understood anything any more.

In the end, we left without even know where we were going.

Everyone quickly understood.

When we met the poor guys returning from the front ...

With them, they sent us At the butcher's shop.

Oh my, you are very early morning commander. The room is not yet open.

But sit there, I prepare breakfast for you.

Thank you.

Do you know the hamlet of Loges?

It is on the road to St Amand, �a.

Can I walk there?

On foot, it's a bit far, but if you want ...

I lend you the bike of my late husband

but you will have to raise your saddle because he was smaller than you.

Sir! Sir ...

Excuse me. The hamlet of Loges, is it there?

The hamlet of lodges, top left! - Thank you.

Sir ... - Hello.

Are you Valentine Duprin?

Yes it's me. Why ?

I am the judge responsible for hearing the Jacques Morlac affair.

I would have suspected it. - Can we talk about it?

In the shade...

Come.

Sit.

It's just syrup. - It will be fine.

Thank you.

Tell me.

It is true that your family was carried away by an epidemic of measles?

My mother was a doctor, yes.

And your father?

He died immediately ... but not measles.

So you arrived here at the death of your parents. But why here?

Here I have my garden, my goats ...

Do you understand that?

Hmm ...

Since when do you know Jacques Morlac?

Are you Jacques Morlac?

Yes why ?

I was told you were selling hay. - Yes.

I need it for my goats.

Father Lachaise was my supplier,

Now that he's dead, I must find it elsewhere.

How many do you need?

A small cart.

Are you bringing it to me?

Hmm ...

Where?

The hamlet of lodges you know?

Yes.

When you're there, you turn right, my house, it's after.

I will find.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow...

Where are you going, dressed like that?

Deliver hay!

You dress in sunday to deliver hay.

Yes, it was more serious.

Walk.

Serious ... Hmm.

Oooh ...

You always dress like this to deliver hay?

You always wear a white blouse to work in your garden?

You must be thirsty with this heat.

We will put the hay away later.

What's his name ? - His name is not.

He has no name?

I give him food, I give him hugs, I don't know

but i didn't want to give it a name

Do you live alone here?

Yes why ?

Aren't they your parents?

They are dead.

Ah! Sorry.

You like to read ?

It depends.

Have you read the three musketeers?

No, well ... not yet.

Read it, you will like it.

I only have syrup.

Ah. if you only have syrup, go for syrup then.

You don't want to take off your jacket, you will be more comfortable.

Yes.

He won't bite me, at least won't he?

I don't know, he will see.

I'll come back tomorrow to put the hay away. Hmm?

Valentine!

That's enough Louis, I know it's you!

Don't make me go yet complain to the gendarmes.

It was you... - Who is this Louis?

He's a simplistic guy who lives in the wood next to it.

Oh yes okay.

It is not dangerous but he tried to kiss me ...

Ah well that's normal huh?

I liked the three musketeers.

Have you read a little?

I read it all.

Whole liar.

Come on, ask me a question ...

Who is Madame Bonacieux

The love of d'Artagnan. Go another one.

Wait to see ...

Milady de Winter?

Ah, this is a beautiful bitch.

You like beautiful bitches, huh?

Stops.

Stops ...

Wait, wait, wait ...

I'll make you read something more serious.

Oh well?

Here, do you want to read this one?

The Suffering of Young Werther.

Human life is a dream

Others have said it before me, but this idea follows me everywhere.

We exhaust all our strength � to meet needs.

and these needs only tend to prolong our miserable existence.

It's true what he says, right?

I don't know ... I don't understand everything.

It's Goethe, a German writer.

This book was my father's.

He was German too, and Jewish.

The priest told us about it once, to the Catholicism of the Jews.

So forget what he told you,

the priests is not the best placed to talk about the Jews.

Have you read all of them? - Almost.

You have learned a lot.

Yes not bad.

And I don't know anything ... Doesn't bother you?

No, it doesn't bother me.

What bothers me is that you're leaving.

Tomorrow I will tell my mother that I come to live here.

Will she agree?

I have to tell him, not ask him.

... it's actually very worrying but nothing is decided yet

Two small goats, but not too dry.

But if, if, I tell you. Georges knows the under prefect, he confirmed everything to her.

Is that safe then?

We can't all the same sit idly by

and let the Germans do whatever they want.

No doubt, but ... war?

Do not worry. It won't last long Colonel XXX told us

Whoever came to dine At home the day before yesterday?

It's my darling. He told us in 3 weeks our cavalry will be in Berlin.

Three weeks ?

Chef Gabarre ...

What is Valentine? The simplet still bothered you?

No, it is not a question.

It’s true that war going to be declared?

Oh, I'm not in the high spheres, me.

Don't tell me stories. Rpondez me.

We will display the mobilization order general tomorrow morning.

Oooh ...

Go.

So ? Did you sell well?

What is happening ?

What do you have ?

Tomorrow is general mobilization, you have to hide.

Where? Under your skirts?

It's not funny, they will come and get you.

Anyway, I am a breadwinner.

But they will take all the men if the war doesn't stop.

Calm down... Calm down.

She hasn't started yet war, huh?

Hush, calm down, come on ...

Come on, come on, calm down.

I don't want you to go.

But I'm here ...

I was in town ...

So what ?

The news is not good.

The boches always resist. Months that last.

The generals want more men.

All the men...

I'm going to be mobilized Valentine ...

Valentine.

It won't be long, it's just history of a few months.

We are more numerous than them, they will not hold.

Valentine ...

Valentine.

Wait, where are you going?

Oooh ...

Morlac!

I arrive...

And US ! And US ?

Oh oh, oh, your mouths!

Shut up !

Hi bunch of idiots - Hi guy.

Do you know what we're accusing him of?

Yes I know, but I don't see why we want to hurt him for nonsense.

Especially after giving it to him the region of honor

Contempt of the nation, you call to stupidity?

It's true that we could take take into account his merits in combat

but for that he should apologize.

Let him say he was drunk,

or find another reason, I do not know.

He refuses?

Not only does he refuse,

but he makes his case worse by taking irresponsible comments.

Sorry, excuse me.

Here it is, arranged.

You know, the Morlac case,

it is undoubtedly one of the last which I will have to take care of.

So maybe it’s selfish,

but if i could save him I would leave relieved.

But he persists To want to be condemned

Why is he doing this?

This is why I came to see you.

For you to help me.

And I have an indiscreet question.

Tell me.

Is this little boy his? - Yes.

He knows he has a son?

I wrote to her, but I did not get an answer.

Maybe he didn't receive the letter!

My respects my commander.

Marshal of the logis-chef Gabarre.

Hello chef.

You're in luck.

Do you have a moment? - At your orders my commander.

Come with me.

Here, two halves.

Anything else, ladies and gentlemen?

You knew him, you this Morlac before its blow?

A funny guy. - Funny how?

I can't tell you my commander but ...

not very sociable, we barely saw him.

And Valentine Duprin?

Ah, this one is another matter.

His father was a German Jew.

In addition he was a member of the Workers' International.

He was a frenzied pacifist.

He was arrested, and uh ...

he died in Angers prison ...

Tuberculosis I think.

And his mother?

She was a girl from here.

She went to Paris learn sewing.

It was there that she met the immigrant.

You want to be useful to me, chief? - Ah yes, my commander.

tryknow why Morlac didn't Been seeing Valentine since he came back

It's not going to be easy. - No, I'm counting on you.

If you learn something, come see me.

Commanding officer...

Are you still there? eh?

You're more stubborn than your master ...

Huh?

So what ?

If you want him to go out ...

you make him understand that he must apologize.

Huh, and like that, you will leave together.

Oh Valentine,

Chef Gabarre ...

I spoke with Justice Lantier

four hundred ninety seven you should trust him.

He is an understanding man, he only asks for one thing,

free Morlac ...

and Morlac absolutely wants let him be condemned.

You know why ?

No.

Are you sure? - Yes.

He came to see you Morlac, when he was demobilized?

It's none of your business.

Oh ... you shouldn't answer me like Valentine.

I try to fix things, that's all.

This is our story, it looks at no one.

Yeah.

The 14th of July, why did you come to see the parade?

Like this, like everyone.

You're sure it's not Morlac that you wanted to see?

I don't know maybe.

You don't want to tell me anything?

No.

Nothing at all.

What's the matter ?

Where's the dog?

The dog uh ...

Yes, where is it?

Earlier he was lying on the corner from the street, my commander

he was at the end of his rope, I thought he was dead

Where is he?

At the old woman's, around the corner, I will show you.

That's itin the street, left the first house.

I came to see the dog ...

You have seen what state he has put himself in. The poor beast.

Bark like that, without stopping under the heat, it runs out.

What he needs ...

it's water, to drink and to eat, that's all.

And as soon as he gets better, he will leave bawling in front of the prison!

These scoundrels of soldiers ...

He spat in their faces, Morlac. So they take revenge.

All the click ...

The generals and their gun merchants.

All those who sent our little country guys to death.

Like my son,

and my three grandchildren ...

Every four ?

Yes.

The same year.

In 15.

It is sad...

If they condemn this one, they will do a great injustice.

But they are not that close.

Drink, my little drink.

Yes, drink my little one, drink.

But by the way, who are you?

A friend. - Of the dog ?

Dog and ... his master.

Excuse me, I have to go. Thanks again...

for him.

You have some funny friends.

I give you the 15.

Have a good day, Commander.

Sorry to interrupt you Paul, but take me to the prison

At your orders my commander.

Perrine ... - Yes Madam.

Go stand Morlac. Be careful.

It's going well Dujeux. You can dispose.

I warn you today it will be longer.

How long are you stayed on the front?

One year.

A year of suffering for nothing.

Crazy offensives ...

malaria, the dyseInterior for ...

And what happened then passed into 17?

The Bulgarians who were opposite had strengthened,

so we too were buried

Hmm ... Like in France what ...

Trenches, casemates,

There were others Allied troops with you?

Yes.

Wait, I'm showing you.

We were there ...

On our left there were annamites ...

You realize, the unhappy ... what were they doing there?

With the cold they turned gray they moved more ...

There, there were the Bulgarians ... in front,

and right here, the Russians.

On the other hand, them in winter, they knew.

The lines almost touched.

I remember, there was a bitch ...

suddenly, it attracted my dog ​​... he went to see her ...

and then one day, I followed him.

It's okay ?

Russians are Russians.

Come on! Come !

It's your dog ?

Yes ... Do you speak French?

Yes a bit...

What are they singing?

There are revolts, all over the country,

workers, women, chiefs ...

and sometimes also among peasants ...

here like there, it's always war.

Too many laws and too much misery

It's like at home.

Listen ! Listen !

The Czar has been knocked down!

The revolution is underway!

The Tzar is stopped!

What is happening ?

The Tzar! It's finish !

The Czar abdicated. - Abdiqu�?

A revolution! To victory!

To our health!

To ours!609 The revolution my son!

Me, you see ... it's mostly for him I'm happy

For his life who will be more beautiful than ours.

And you ? Do you have children?

Yes...

A son.

I can't take this hole anymore.

Can't we go to the yard?

Yeah, that's it, let's get some fresh air.

We're going to go to the yard.

But my commander, the regulations ... - I'm the rules.

Come Morlac.

And how did the Russians learned the fall of the Czar?

You told me that you were cut off from the world.

Not the Bulgarians.

They received the news, and spun them to the Russians.

While they were face to face in the trenches?

Yep, these guys are cousins. Russians, Bulgarians ...

Besides, it was this that started it all. - Triggered ... how did it go?

Ah ... you can't understand.

We were at the bottom of hell ...

and at the same time, somewhere, a people had got rid of a tyrant.

It was necessary to continue the revolution.

Not just in Russia, but everywhere, you had to finish the job.

And the first thing to do it was to stop this war.

Your revolution has a name, It's called a mutiny.

No...

You see, you don't understand. No...

Not if it was on both sides of the forehead.

Brotherhood, that's what it took.

It's ambitious, but not very realistic, right?

And your officers were paddling the same ideas?

No.

We hadn't told them.

They weren't from our class.

So what was your plan?

It was not complicated.

The Russians, with a lot of Bulgarians,they were won over to the cause.

At the signal, everyone had to go out trenches

and go and shake hands with those opposite.

There would be movements like that everywhere on the Eastern Front, and also in France.

Fraternize... Say "Shit" to this war.

Get out of our rat holes.

Standing, you understand standing.

To be men, finally men.

And finally how did it go?

We had planned on September 12 4 a.m.

A little before sunrise, not to stay in the dark too long.

The signal was the International.

Bulgarians had to start To sing,

and us, the french, and the russians we would resume in chur.

At 4 o'clock.

When we heard their voices who sang opposite,

you can't know what it did to us.

It was each his skin ...

A few minutes before we were ready � fraternize,

and we talk to each other at the bayonet, body to body.

It was awful.

All because of a dog.

Him, all he knew, is that the enemy came from opposite.

After an hour, they were pushed in.

The local artillerymen set out we duck without knowing that we were

already in the Bulgarian lines.

They didn't miss us, these idiots ...

This is where I got my injury.

Here it is.

In the first line,

Corporal Jacques Morlac,

personally put out of action 9 enemy infantrymen.

This heroic action marked the beginning counter offensive

victorious of our troops.

On behalf of the President of the Republic, and by virtue of the powers conferred on me

we make you Knight of the region of honor.

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Be careful! Over here!

Come. Follow me.

I have long resented my dog.

Long time... I would have killed him.

But all of a sudden I understood ...

He was the hero.

Loyal to death, brave, merciless for enemies.

My legion of honor, it was he who deserved it.

When I understood that, I didn't hold it against her anymore.

He had obeyed his nature.

He had an excuse.

But those who sent us to the massacre, they did not have any.

Their quotes, their medals ...

all that was for us to go fight like dogs.

Well then...

you look better, huh?

She did a good job for you, the old woman, there.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're sick of it.

And me too.

There is more for a long time.

Come on ...

Don't worry ...

Louis!

Don't try to save yourself, I'll know always where to find you.

Approach.

Always so agile, huh!

Let’s see what you’re hiding there.

Ah ... well done. This is beautiful trout.

Good Louis ...

Are you still going to see her, Valentine?

No.

I swear, no.

Don't swear Louis, I know you're lying.

It's stronger than you.

Note, if you annoy him more, you can well watch it from a distance from time to time

... but from a distance.

Good Louis, you're going to have to help me.

You owe me that, right?

I got you out of the sea enough, not true ?

Morlac, you know him.

He went to war.

So much the better. - Yeah, he's gone.

But he came back ... And you know it.

Yes, Louis, you know that.

You will see Valentine every day ... Maybe even more than usual.

In the morning you put yourself in the wood above his vegetable patch

to see her when she looks at his vegetables.

And in the evening, you pass behind the house

to spy on her when she will milk his goats.

I am more. - I believe you Louis. But think about it ...

Since he came back of the war, Morlac

you saw it at Valentine's? - I dunno.

You don't tell me stories Louis. That's enough.

He came yes or no?

Yes ! - When was it?

I don't know the dates, me ...

Before the parade. - Good.

Have you talked to him? - No.

Well then explain yourself what was he doing ?

He was hiding.

But I hide better ... He didn't see me.

He was watching the kid. - The kid ?

He mustn't have seen it so far.

One day he was very close ...

Really, but then Valentine saw it.

No, she couldn't.

She was milking the goats.

Fellow !

Is this the only time you saw him? - No.

Another time I saw him.

When she was fat.

Big ? Pregnant?

Jacques ...

Jacques stop.

Leave me !

You're completely crazy!

I'll explain Jacques to you!

Jacques!

Jacques ...!

You're sure you invent nothing Louis ... - I am not lying.

Yes I believe you.

And I hopetell the truth.

Commanding officer !

My commander !

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

Oh oh oh !

It's more of your age, this kind of exercise.

Thank you, my commander.

I was looking for you, I have something new.

Tell me.

Morlac is back when she was pregnant.

He had another permission then. Yes...

Yes, three days for burial of his mother.

He must have been to see Valentine

Yes, but... when he arrived ...

There was a guy outside who was washing.

Above is Valentine coming out, and Morlac left.

Are you sure what you are saying? - Ah sure my commander.

Its a good job.

I will report to your superiors. Thank you Chef.

Thank you, my commander.

Valentine?

What are you doing there?

I would like to talk to you.

Come, I invite you to dinner. - No no.

But yes, come ...

Come on...

When I met Jacques, he was Barely out of his farm.

But it didn't look like a peasant.

There are beings like that.

He was naive though.

He did not understand the gravity of what was going on when war broke out.

So I tried to explain it to him.

I even made him read some books.

Eat a little ... Come on!

At first he had a hard time, and that's for me to please that he got into it.

It was his own way to tell me he loved me.

And he left with one or two books when he was mobilized.

And with my dog.

It may seem weird, but when this beast

followed Jacques to war, I was happy.

At least he was taking a bit of me.

Was he writing to you? - At the start, almost every week.

And one day he came on leave.

Man is naturally good.

What an idiot Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

It means that it is society that makes man bad.

Basically the man is good, is that it? - In short, yes.

So what ?

He mustn't have seen the war up close ...

Men are at war show their true nature.

We kill each other, we gorge each other in gangrene odors,

dead people drying on the barbed wire ...

of putrefaction.

All the smells of a crappy war ...

And how long did he stay?

Two weeks. just long enough to get pregnant.

I knew it was going to happen, I wanted it.

But I didn't tell him right away ... I waited until I was very sure.

Webert. - Yes.

Morlac. - Yeah.

Thistle. - Yeah.

Guillot. - Yeah.

Three weeks she put to get my letter.

With their stupid censorship.

What's wrong ? you look everything.

I'm going to be a father.

Congratulations old man, It is celebrated.

Yeah.

When i see in what a world I'm throwing ...

Poor even.

Yeah.

What are you going to call it?

He wrote to me that he was happy.

And he asked me to call the child Marie if it was a girl

and Jules if it was a boy.

Later it was difficult.

I was alone with this child who was coming.

I wrote to my sponsor an old pacifist

who supported activists who had deserted

I told her I was a volunteer to host one.

As I was in full pregnancy, he could help me

for the garden and goats

He sent me a young guy who needed to hide.

And you wrote it to Morlac?

I would have done better I would have avoided ... - Let him find out for himself.

How do you know ?

Because I knew he had another permission

and that he saw him come out of your house.

I assure you sir,

nothing ever happened between this boy and me.

I never stopped thinking about Jacques, I only loved him.

He is the only one I love.

Sometimes at night I go out in the cold and I call out his name.

As if it were going to appear, to come to me.

You take me for a madwoman.

Not at all.

And he never wrote to you again after? - Never.

You told him the birth of your son?

Yes, I even had it done a photo in town.

I sent her. I never knew if he received it.

And at the end of the war?

I didn't see him before he did this scandal and stop it.

Did you go to visit him in prison?

Obviously several times, but he doesn't want to see me.

And your dog, why you left it there?

I tried to bring him home, but he didn't want ...

Hello Madame Charizot!

I beg you sir.

Tell him to come back, with us, we are waiting for it.

Stop talking about my wife, huh!

My tributes, madam.

It's no longer possible!

Well, you shouldn't have. You shouldn't have done it.

So now that's enough, you go.

Oh, Madame Charizot just a little kir, a sweetness.

I havenot paid my accounts, you will have to send me the note.

Yes, that's it, I will send it to your father. Go outside!

Outside !

Outside...!

Good evening Monsieur Qu�riel ...

Good evening Perrine.

Ah, good evening Paul, good evening miss.

Were we going for a little walk?

Yes, my commander.

You're right, it's less hot outside than inside.

See you tomorrow young people.

Good evening, commander.

You can't sleep. Ah, it's too hot.

I don't mind. Anyway, I don't sleep much.

It's curious, when you think about it in short ...

We do the same job, you and me.

The same job? - Justice of course.

I am confessed, you are a judge ...

we are two cogs in justice.

Justice ?

Before the war I was a young man career military, idealist

Honor, tradition, Fatherland ... I believed in everything.

Hmm ...

It was at that time that I should have been a judge.

I would have condemned the men without state of mind.

You would have been right,

this is how it should be.

Justice is there to protect society.

Protect her from whom?

Who is guilty? Who is innocent?

It is true that it is complicated to judge, There is always...

a share of innocence in the culprit,

and guilt in the innocent.

Well you know it's very beautiful what you say.

Innocence in the culprit, and guilt in the innocent.

Totally incomprehensible, but very beautiful ... Good evening.

Likewise.

Paul.

You will get my suitcase in my room, and you will charge the car.

I think we will leave in the afternoon.

Enjoy the morning to say goodbye.

Hmm? And then you will come pick me up at the prison.

Good my commander.

It may be the last time see you and me, hmm?

Yeah...

I will miss you ... yeah

Hello, - Hello.

Go get the prisoner.

I will finish my interrogation in your office.

But my commander, the regulations is formal, it does not authorize ...

I already told you to forget the regulations ...

So do what I ask you. - But it's that I have no right.

So I'm going to go there myself.

But my commander ...

Morlac ... Please follow me.

Sit down at Morlac.

Leave us alone Dujeux.

But my commander ... - Come on ...

It is moving this dog.

If he barks like that, it's because he knows you're there.

Well...

Let's take the facts who are accused of you.

We are coming to the end of this instruction.

Good.

Everything happened on July 14, 1919, on the main square.

Who is it

I don't know ...

In the name of the President of the Republic

to reward your blind obedience,

your submission to the mighty

and your most beastly gut that make you ... a hero,

I make you... knight of the region of honor!

He is a mad !

Gendarmes, arrest this man!

Let go!

Let go!

You can see that not know what he's doing!

Jacques, no! Tell them Jacques! Tell them !

Tell them ! Jacques!

Let go!

Lachez it ...!

Do you know what such an act can you cost?

Well go ahead, shoot me.

You wanted to see me, my commander? - Yes Lantier.

For the execution of the Marsel deserter,

this is Warrant Officer Picard who will command the platoon.

You will attend, while representative of the court martial.

Make sure everything happens quickly, well.

Can I refuse my commander?

Yes...

If you want to find yourself the wrong side of the guns.

No state of mind, Lantier.

And don't come and piss me off in the boots, it's not the moment. You can dispose.

At your orders my commander.

So what did I say? how many men do we have?

A company of Senegalese.

Play it!

Fire!

I'll give you a Morlac confidence, we are getting to know each other ...

Everything opposes us ...

I entered the war by vocation,

and you by obligation.

And for these four years brought us together.

Four years living in the casemates,

To receive on the head the same shells,

Counting our deaths,

it costs me to say it Morlac, but I agree with you ...

this war had to be stopped.

By cons this ridiculous scene,

this outrage to the nation, we cannot accept it.

And we have to accept that we are thrown medals, like bones to dogs.

You may have thought you were going overturn the established order

decorating your dog of the region of honor?

You didn't think all the same that your little sparkle

was going to change the face of the world? - It was a start.

I'll tell you why you havecommitted this act.

Go ahead, I'm listening.

Because you wanted to do Evil Valentine.

Why would I want to hurt her?

Because you thought that she had cheated on you ...

You find it good, do you?

Cheating a man who went to war?

Are you sure she cheated on you? - I saw it.

No. - I saw it !

No ! You believed it ...

But you haven't seen it. And you fled.

There is something else that distinguishes beasts ...

it's pride ...

The real reason for your driving, it's your pride.

Instead of going to look at Valentine in eyes and ask him for the truth,

you preferred to make a scandal ...

and this scandal was for her, against her.

It's not true. - If it's true.

I told you I could try to understand Morlac,

but not above. I don't follow you in that case.

And since my superiors have me left free to judge you,

here is my decision.

You will go to Valentine, and you will listen to it to the end.

And you will be ashamed to have judged it so bad, and so fast.

Because you believe she will welcome me with open arms?

You don't know women, you ...

Because you know them, do you? Huh?

How many did you know?

And you ?

A little more than you, no doubt. With time.

Okay, this case is closed.

You will have some papers to sign, and then good ... finally ...

You are free.

I will not go ...

It's too late.

Farewell Morlac ...

Are you coming to say goodbye?

I would have taken you, you know?

Come on, go find your master. Go.

Come on, let's go Paul.

Come on. Come.

Excuse my indiscretion my commander, but I wanted to ask you if ...

finally ... if your business ended well.

Yes...

I hope so.

And yours Paul? With the little one?

Yes, I have the impression ... we hope to see each other again.

It's good.
