00:00:32,140 Listen, I can't be                  any more confused                   than I already am. 3 00:00:32,180 --> 00:00:35,010 Steve, I would                       rather be prosecuting                than defending you. 4 00:00:35,060 --> 00:00:37,810 Why?                                 Because I think                      you're guilty as hell. 5 00:00:37,850 --> 00:00:40,060 Well, maybe I should                get another lawyer then. 6 00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:43,230 Well, I'm not                        looking forward to                   twisting the Navy's arm. 7 00:00:43,270 --> 00:00:46,110 Why? What, are you                  scared of the brass?                                     Worse. 8 00:00:46,150 --> 00:00:47,860 Respectful. 9 00:00:47,900 --> 00:00:49,860 You know, sometimes I think         the Navy's a master plan 10 00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:52,740 designed by geniuses                for execution by idiots. 11 00:00:52,780 --> 00:00:55,280

00:03:04,790 What type of vessel                  is the   Caine? 51 00:03:04,830 --> 00:03:09,000 Well, her official                   designation is an MCM--              mine countermeasures ship. 52 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,090 And what is                          her primary mission? 53 00:03:11,130 --> 00:03:14,510 Well, the   Caine                     is designed to detect               and neutralize sea-based mines. 54 00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:16,090 We conduct                           minesweeping operations 55 00:03:16,130 --> 00:03:18,220 as directed anywhere                in the Persian Gulf, 56 00:03:18,260 --> 00:03:20,470 with an emphasis                     on the Straits of Hormuz. 57 00:03:20,510 --> 00:03:24,390 Commander,                           on December 18th, 2022, 58 00:03:24,430 --> 00:03:26,890 were you relieved of command        of the   Caine? 59 00:03:26,940 --> 00:03:28,980 Yes. 60 00:03:29,020 --> 00:03:30,480 By whom? 61 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,520 The accused,                         Lieutenant Maryk. 62 00:03:32,570 --> 00:03:35,900 [prosecutor] Was this                a standard watch change? 63 00:03:35,950 --> 00:03:38,860 No, it was                           totally irregular. 64 00:03:38,910 --> 00:03:40,740 How would you                        describe it?                         [scoffs] 65 00:03:40,780 --> 00:03:46,040 Well, the most charitable            description would be                 that it was an incident, 66 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,420 a regrettable incident               of the temporary 67 00:03:48,460 --> 00:03:51,000 and total collapse                   of military discipline. 68 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,170 Commander, please relate             all the facts that bear              on this unauthorized relief. 69 00:03:56,300 --> 00:03:58,340 Okay, well, 70 00:03:58,380 --> 00:04:01,760 the   Caine   sortied from Bahrain      on December 16th. 71 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,470 Our mission was to sweep            for mines from the Persian Gulf     through the Straits of Hormuz. 72 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,310 When a cyclone came along           the operation was canceled, 73 00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:11,650 and the boat                        started to maneuver                 to evade the storm. 74 00:04:11,690 --> 00:04:13,900 The storm                           was traveling due west. 75 00:04:13,940 --> 00:04:16,740 [prosecutor]                         What was the date and time           of that course change? 76 00:04:16,780 --> 00:04:20,070 Well, that would be                 early morning                       of the 18th, ma'am. 77 00:04:20,110 --> 00:04:22,780 And as I say, the storm was         pretty bad at that point. 78 00:04:22,830 --> 00:04:24,830 Visibility was almost zero. 79 00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:28,210 Couldn't see                        any of the other ships              in the detachment. 80 00:04:28,250 --> 00:04:31,170 We were sailing blind through       the rain and the spray, 81 00:04:31,210 --> 00:04:33,000 and with the wind                   and the sea and all, 82 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,130 we had to maneuver                  using engines and rudders 83 00:04:35,170 --> 00:04:37,130 to hold the evasion course          that had been ordered. 84 00:04:37,170 --> 00:04:39,470 But w-we were doing fine. 85 00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:43,140 My executive officer, however,      pretty early in the game, 86 00:04:43,180 --> 00:04:46,140 began to show                       unusual symptoms                    of nervousness. 87 00:04:46,180 --> 00:04:48,100 What were                            these symptoms? 88 00:04:48,140 --> 00:04:50,270 Well, for example, he started       talking pretty early-- 89 00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:53,980 Couldn't have been more             than half an hour after             the ship started running south-- 90 00:04:54,020 --> 00:04:57,480 that we needed                      to operate independently            and come around to the north. 91 00:04:57,530 --> 00:04:59,570 Why did he want                      to do that? 92 00:04:59,610 --> 00:05:01,700 Well, to give you the picture,      the cyclone was coming at us        from the east. 93 00:05:01,740 --> 00:05:03,320 We were on                           the western edge of it, 94 00:05:03,370 --> 00:05:06,290 which means where we were,          the wind was from due north. 95 00:05:06,330 --> 00:05:10,790 Now, the   Commodore,   of course,      was running south with the wind     to get out of the storm's path, 96 00:05:10,830 --> 00:05:14,130 which was in accordance with        all existing storm doctrine. 97 00:05:14,170 --> 00:05:18,420 My exec, however,                   insisted that our ship              was on the verge of foundering 98 00:05:18,460 --> 00:05:20,420 and that we had better              turn into the wind, 99 00:05:20,470 --> 00:05:23,430 wh-which was the north,             if we were to survive. 100 00:05:23,470 --> 00:05:27,140 Now... [chuckles]                   ...of course, we weren't            in that bad of shape. 101 00:05:27,180 --> 00:05:29,220 And that's what                     I mean by nervousness. 102 00:05:29,270 --> 00:05:31,140 What was your objection              to coming north, 103 00:05:31,190 --> 00:05:33,100 as your executive officer            suggested? 104 00:05:33,150 --> 00:05:35,690 Well, everything was wrong          with that idea                      that could be wrong with it. 105 00:05:35,730 --> 00:05:39,900 I mean, in the first place,         my orders were to proceed south. 106 00:05:39,940 --> 00:05:42,450 My ship wasn't in danger.            It-- 107 00:05:42,490 --> 00:05:44,780 It was functioning normally. 108 00:05:44,820 --> 00:05:48,620 Uh, to drop out of station           and act independently                under those circumstances 109 00:05:48,660 --> 00:05:50,160 is out of the question. 110 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,040 And to come around north 111 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,380 would be to head                     the ship directly into               the heart of the cyclone. 112 00:05:54,420 --> 00:05:59,340 It was a senseless suggestion       and, under the circumstances,       almost suicidal. 113 00:05:59,380 --> 00:06:02,090 I have since checked                 all of my decisions                  of December 18th 114 00:06:02,130 --> 00:06:04,090 with the finest                      ship handlers I know, 115 00:06:04,130 --> 00:06:06,140 ranking all the way up               to rear admiral, 116 00:06:06,180 --> 00:06:10,560 and unanimously they agree           that the only course                 in that situation was south. 117 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,940 [prosecutor]                        Commander, your last remark         was hearsay. 118 00:06:14,980 --> 00:06:16,480 Oh, I'm-- I'm sorry. 119 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,690 I'm not up                           on these legal distinctions 120 00:06:18,730 --> 00:06:20,280 as well as I should be,              I guess. 121 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,780 [prosecutor]                        It's perfectly all right. 122 00:06:22,820 --> 00:06:25,910 Will defense counsel move           to strike out the part of           the testimony which was hearsay? 123 00:06:25,950 --> 00:06:27,120 All right, so move. 124 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,990 [prosecutor]                        Please continue. 125 00:06:29,030 --> 00:06:32,910 Well, i-it's just that Maryk's      insistence on us coming around 126 00:06:32,950 --> 00:06:36,790 became more and more strident       as the weather deteriorated. 127 00:06:36,830 --> 00:06:38,920 I finally became                     concerned about him 128 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,050 when suddenly                        he moved towards me 129 00:06:41,090 --> 00:06:44,550 and out of the blue said            I was on the sick list              and that he was relieving me. 130 00:06:44,590 --> 00:06:47,680 I-I-- To be honest,                  I couldn't believe my ears. 131 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,760 Took me a moment                     to catch on. 132 00:06:49,810 --> 00:06:52,520 It wasn't until                      he started shouting orders           at the officer of the deck 133 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,440 and started countermanding           my instructions 134 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,770 that I-I did begin to                realize what was going on. 135 00:06:59,820 --> 00:07:01,530 Commander,                          can you recall anything 136 00:07:01,570 --> 00:07:04,570 that could have provoked            your executive officer's act? 137 00:07:04,610 --> 00:07:06,530 Truthfully, no. 138 00:07:06,570 --> 00:07:09,450 I don't think                        my bearing or manner                 had anything to do with it. 139 00:07:09,490 --> 00:07:13,200 Look... it was                       a pretty scary situation            in that wheelhouse. 140 00:07:13,250 --> 00:07:16,210 Winds were force ten to 12,          screeching and all, 141 00:07:16,250 --> 00:07:18,420 and the waves                        were mountainous. 142 00:07:18,460 --> 00:07:21,550 The barometer had dropped            about as low as it's ever            been in US Navy history, 143 00:07:21,590 --> 00:07:24,050 and we took                          a very bad roll. 144 00:07:24,090 --> 00:07:25,840 And I mean a very bad one. 145 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,050 I've done a lot                      of North Atlantic                    rolling too. 146 00:07:28,090 --> 00:07:30,050 I just think that Maryk              simply went into a panic. 147 00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:31,760 [prosecutor]                        Mmm. 148 00:07:31,810 --> 00:07:34,560 Was the   Caine                        in grave danger                      at that time? 149 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,900 Well, I-I wouldn't say that,        no, ma'am. 150 00:07:37,940 --> 00:07:41,270 I-I thought                         we righted ourselves very nicely   out of that bad roll. 151 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,740 He repeatedly tried to              order me off the bridge,            but I stayed right where I was 152 00:07:45,780 --> 00:07:49,280 and gave him orders                  only as I thought necessary          for the safety of the ship. 153 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,990 I-In the situation,                 I thought that the chief hazard 154 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,000 would be any further                 act of frenzy on his part. 155 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,000 And to the extent that               the   Caine   did come through           that storm safely, 156 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,960 despite the unprecedented...        [chuckles] ...running amok           of my executive officer, 157 00:08:05,010 --> 00:08:09,510 I believe that my handling           of the emergency                     was the correct one. 158 00:08:09,550 --> 00:08:12,680 Did Maryk cite                       any authority at all                 when he relieved you? 159 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,060 Oh, he mumbled something            about our Article 1108. 160 00:08:15,100 --> 00:08:17,100 I didn't even catch it              at the time. 161 00:08:17,140 --> 00:08:20,310 It wasn't till later                that he said his authority 162 00:08:20,350 --> 00:08:23,770 was Article 1108                     of Navy Regulations. 163 00:08:23,820 --> 00:08:26,900 And were you familiar               with these articles?                                 Certainly. 164 00:08:26,940 --> 00:08:29,990 In substance,                       what do they provide? 165 00:08:30,030 --> 00:08:33,160 Well, it's my understanding         that they make it possible 166 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:38,750 for the executive officer           to relieve the captain              i-in an emergency, 167 00:08:38,790 --> 00:08:41,960 a highly unusual emergency          where-- where the captain is... 168 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,920 [chuckles] 169 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,340 Well, frankly,                       where the captain                    is absolutely unhinged. 170 00:08:48,380 --> 00:08:51,130 Were these articles                  properly invoked                     in your situation? 171 00:08:51,180 --> 00:08:54,350 Well, I'm sort of                   an interested party here. 172 00:08:54,390 --> 00:08:56,600 But you don't have                  to take my word for it. 173 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,430 I was successfully                   conning my ship                      through that cyclone, 174 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,230 and fortunately for me,             I have 130 witnesses                of that fact. 175 00:09:02,270 --> 00:09:04,150 Everybody aboard that ship. 176 00:09:04,190 --> 00:09:06,900 Uh, Commander, sorry,                there again, sir, 177 00:09:06,940 --> 00:09:09,150 you're testifying                    to the conclusions                   of others. 178 00:09:09,190 --> 00:09:11,660 Well, obviously I'm not             a legal expert. Sorry. 179 00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:14,950 Strike the witness's                 last sentence                        from the record. 180 00:09:14,990 --> 00:09:17,240 Have you ever been                   mentally ill, sir? 181 00:09:17,620 --> 00:09:19,250 No. 182 00:09:19,290 --> 00:09:21,830 Were you ill in any way              when Mr. Maryk relieved you? 183 00:09:21,870 --> 00:09:23,790 I was not. 184 00:09:23,830 --> 00:09:25,590 Did you warn your                   executive officer of                the consequences of his act? 185 00:09:25,630 --> 00:09:28,010 I told him he was performing        a mutinous act. 186 00:09:28,050 --> 00:09:29,970 [prosecutor]                        And what was his reply? 187 00:09:30,010 --> 00:09:32,010 He expected to be                    court-martialed. 188 00:09:32,050 --> 00:09:34,510 He was going                         to retain command anyway. 189 00:09:36,100 --> 00:09:38,970 What was the attitude of            Lieutenant Junior Grade Keith,      the officer of the deck? 190 00:09:39,020 --> 00:09:42,310 Keith was in                         a state of panic                     as bad as Maryk's. 191 00:09:42,350 --> 00:09:43,900 [prosecutor]                        What was the attitude               of the helmsman? 192 00:09:43,940 --> 00:09:46,400 Stilwell                             was emotionally unbalanced           and for some reason 193 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,980 very devoted to Mr. Keith. 194 00:09:49,030 --> 00:09:50,940 They both backed Maryk. 195 00:09:50,990 --> 00:09:53,660 Is there anything else,              Commander Queeg,                     that you would care to state 196 00:09:53,700 --> 00:09:56,780 in connection with the events       of December 18th                    aboard the   Caine? 197 00:09:56,830 --> 00:09:58,790 [exhales] Well, I just... 198 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,460 I've thought a lot about             all of this, obviously. 199 00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:05,210 It's the gravest occurrence          in my career. 200 00:10:05,250 --> 00:10:08,300 The only questionable one            I-I'm aware of. 201 00:10:10,670 --> 00:10:13,050 I-I just think that                  if the officer of the deck 202 00:10:13,090 --> 00:10:16,220 had been anyone                      other than this                      immature Mr. Keith 203 00:10:16,260 --> 00:10:18,430 and the helmsman                     anyone other than Stilwell, 204 00:10:18,470 --> 00:10:20,310 then none of this                    would have happened. 205 00:10:20,350 --> 00:10:25,480 I mean, a competent officer          would have repudiated                Maryk's orders 206 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,110 and a normal sailor                  at the helm 207 00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:31,900 would have disregarded               both of those officers               and obeyed me. 208 00:10:32,860 --> 00:10:36,320 It was just bad luck                 that these three men, 209 00:10:36,370 --> 00:10:38,910 Maryk, Keith                         and Stilwell, 210 00:10:38,950 --> 00:10:42,040 combined against me                  at such a crucial time. 211 00:10:43,210 --> 00:10:44,790 Bad luck for me 212 00:10:44,830 --> 00:10:47,170 and I'm afraid                       even worse luck for them. 213 00:10:47,210 --> 00:10:49,840 [officer] The court                  would like to                        question the witness. 214 00:10:51,210 --> 00:10:53,170 Commander Queeg, 215 00:10:53,220 --> 00:10:56,840 you've taken                         all the prescribed physical          and mental examinations 216 00:10:56,890 --> 00:10:59,640 incident to entrance to              the academy, graduation, 217 00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:01,430 commissioning, promotion            and so forth? 218 00:11:01,470 --> 00:11:04,180 Yes, sir, for 21 years. 219 00:11:04,230 --> 00:11:08,190 Does your medical record            contain any history of illness,     mental or physical? 220 00:11:08,230 --> 00:11:10,150 No, sir, it does not. 221 00:11:10,190 --> 00:11:13,240 Have you ever had                    an unsatisfactory fitness            report, Commander Queeg? 222 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,700 Negative, sir. 223 00:11:15,740 --> 00:11:19,870 Commander, can you account for      Lieutenant Maryk's opinion          that you were mentally ill? 224 00:11:19,910 --> 00:11:22,120 [chuckles]                           All I can say, sir, 225 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:27,210 is that I assumed command           over an extremely...                disorganized and dirty ship, 226 00:11:27,250 --> 00:11:32,130 and that's not a reflection         on the officer that I relieved. 227 00:11:32,170 --> 00:11:34,550 The   Caine   had gone through           a year and a half                    of arduous duty 228 00:11:34,590 --> 00:11:36,800 a-and it was understandable. 229 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:42,810 But still, for the safety            of that ship and its crew,           it demanded to be shaped up, 230 00:11:42,850 --> 00:11:45,020 and I took a lot                     of strong measures, 231 00:11:45,060 --> 00:11:48,730 a-and Lieutenant Maryk               did not see eye to eye               with me at all 232 00:11:48,770 --> 00:11:52,480 on this idea                         of making the   Caine                  a tight ship again. 233 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,570 [chuckles]                           Well, maybe-- 234 00:11:57,610 --> 00:12:00,820 maybe he thought I was crazy        to keep trying. 235 00:12:00,870 --> 00:12:05,370 Anyway, that's                       the picture of it, sir. 236 00:12:05,410 --> 00:12:08,170 [officer] Thank you.                [prosecutor]                         Your witness. 237 00:12:08,210 --> 00:12:10,920 Commander Queeg,                    I would like to ask you 238 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,760 whether you have                    ever heard the expression           "Old Yellowstain." 239 00:12:16,470 --> 00:12:18,880 In which connection? 240 00:12:18,930 --> 00:12:20,590 Old Yellowstain, sir. 241 00:12:22,930 --> 00:12:24,680 No, I have not. 242 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,600 You weren't aware                   that all the officers               of the   Caine 243 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,350 habitually referred to you          as Old Yellowstain? 244 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,440 I object to the question.           Impertinent badgering               of the witness. 245 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,440 How does Defense Counsel             Greenwald justify                    this line of questioning? 246 00:12:36,490 --> 00:12:38,280 Please the court,                   the nickname Old Yellowstain, 247 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,950 used by the officers                 of the   Caine, 248 00:12:39,990 --> 00:12:43,120 will be relevant                     to the issue                         of mental competence. 249 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:48,040 Before ruling, the court wishes     to caution defense counsel. 250 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,460 This is a most unusual              and delicate case. 251 00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:54,460 The honor and career                of an officer 252 00:12:54,500 --> 00:12:59,470 with an unblemished                 military record of 21 years         standing is involved. 253 00:12:59,510 --> 00:13:02,050 The defense counsel                  will have to bear                    full responsibility 254 00:13:02,090 --> 00:13:03,760 for the conduct                      of this case. 255 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,770 Subject to                           the foregoing comment, 256 00:13:09,890 --> 00:13:12,480 the trial counsel's objection       is overruled. 257 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,070 Court stenographer                   will repeat the question. 258 00:13:16,110 --> 00:13:18,650 "You aren't aware, then,             that all the officers                of the   Caine 259 00:13:18,690 --> 00:13:21,280 have habitually                      referred to you                      as Old Yellowstain?" 260 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,330 I was not aware of that. 261 00:13:27,370 --> 00:13:29,750 No further questions. 262 00:13:29,790 --> 00:13:31,330 For now. 263 00:13:31,370 -->

 had been relieved. 292 00:14:47,780 --> 00:14:52,370 Uh, well, Mr. Maryk                 passed word for all officers        to come up to the wheelhouse. 293 00:14:52,410 --> 00:14:56,330 When we got there, he told us       that the captain was sick           and he had assumed command. 294 00:14:56,370 --> 00:15:00,340 Did Captain Queeg                    show any external signs

 or was he foaming, or--     No, no. 297 00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:07,260 Did he look any worse off            than, say, Lieutenant Keith?        No. 298 00:15:07,300 --> 00:15:08,720 Or Maryk?                    No. 299 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,270 W-We were all tired,                dripping and wiped out. 300 00:15:12,310 --> 00:15:15,140 Mr. Keefer,                          did you make any effort              to persuade Mr. Maryk 301 00:15:15,190 --> 00:15:16,810 to restore Queeg                     to command? 302 00:15:16,850 --> 00:15:18,610 No, I did not. 303 00:15:18,650 --> 00:15:20,480 Did you not feel                    the seriousness                      of the moment? 304 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:21,780 I certainly did. 305 00:15:21,820 --> 00:15:23,820 Why did you take                     no remedial action? 306 00:15:23,860 --> 00:15:26,990 I wasn't present                    when the captain was relieved. 307 00:15:27,030 --> 00:15:29,870 Maryk was in full command.          The entire ship was                 obeying his orders. 308 00:15:29,910 --> 00:15:32,410 I thought that,                     for the safety of the ship, 309 00:15:32,450 --> 00:15:34,830 my best course was                  to obey his orders. 310 00:15:34,870 --> 00:15:36,830 Mr. Keefer, were you                aboard the   Caine 311 00:15:36,870 --> 00:15:39,330 throughout the period                that Captain Queeg                   was in command? 312 00:15:39,380 --> 00:15:43,090 Yes, I was.                              Did you ever observe any             evidence of insanity in him? 313 00:15:43,130 --> 00:15:45,760 I don't--                           I can't answer that question,       not being a psychiatrist. 314 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,880 Did you ever think                   he might be insane? 315 00:15:47,930 --> 00:15:49,800 Objection. 316 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,140 Witness is not an expert             and matters of opinion               are not admissible evidence. 317 00:15:53,180 --> 00:15:54,720 I withdraw the question. 318 00:15:54,770 --> 00:15:58,140 Mr. Keefer,                          at any time prior                    to December 18th, 319 00:15:58,190 --> 00:16:01,560 were you informed                    that Maryk suspected Queeg           of being mentally ill? 320 00:16:01,610 --> 00:16:04,320 Yes, I was.                              Describe                             how you learned this. 321 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,780 Well, uh, let me see. 322 00:16:05,820 --> 00:16:08,530 Two-- Two weeks                     before the cyclone, 323 00:16:08,570 --> 00:16:10,620 Maryk showed me                     a medical log 324 00:16:10,660 --> 00:16:13,240 he had kept on                      Captain Queeg's behavior. 325 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,750 He asked me to come with him        to report the situation to-- 326 00:16:16,790 --> 00:16:19,000 to Admiral Williams,                Commander Fifth Fleet. 327 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,420 And did you consent                  to go with him? 328 00:16:21,460 --> 00:16:23,040 Yes, I did.                                              Why? 329 00:16:23,090 --> 00:16:25,340 He was my superior officer          and also my close friend. 330 00:16:25,380 --> 00:16:29,180 Did you believe                      that Maryk's log justified           the relief of Queeg? 331 00:16:29,220 --> 00:16:30,800 No. No. 332 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,800 As soon as we got aboard            Admiral Williams's ship, 333 00:16:32,850 --> 00:16:35,890 I told him as forcibly               as I could that,                     in my opinion, 334 00:16:35,930 --> 00:16:38,560 the log wouldn't                     justify the action. 335 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,310 What was his response?      After a lot of arguing,             he told me-- 336 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,820 [clears throat]                     After a lot of arguing,             he-- he followed my advice. 337 00:16:46,860 --> 00:16:48,740 We returned to the   Caine. 338 00:16:48,780 --> 00:16:52,870 Were you surprised                   two weeks later when he              relieved the captain? 339 00:16:53,910 --> 00:16:55,200 I was stunned. 340 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,580 Were you good with that,            Mr. Keefer? 341 00:16:59,330 --> 00:17:01,120 I was badly disturbed. 342 00:17:01,170 --> 00:17:03,960 I thought that, at best,            he would be involved                in grave difficulties. 343 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,800 I thought it was                    a terrible situation                and an error on his part. 344 00:17:08,590 --> 00:17:10,130 No further questions. 345 00:17:10,180 --> 00:17:11,590 No questions. 346 00:17:11,630 --> 00:17:14,180 Does the defense intend             to recall this witness 347 00:17:14,220 --> 00:17:15,180 at a later time? 348 00:17:15,220 --> 00:17:16,810 No, sir. 349 00:17:16,850 --> 00:17:20,020 No cross-examination of this        highly material witness? 350 00:17:20,060 --> 00:17:21,140 No, sir. 351 00:17:22,980 --> 00:17:25,070 The court                           will question the witness. 352 00:17:26,270 --> 00:17:27,520 Mr. Keefer--                         [clears throat] 353 00:17:27,570 --> 00:17:30,950 Now, as to this                     so-called medical log, 354 00:17:30,990 --> 00:17:33,870 the facts it contained              which convinced Lieutenant Maryk 355 00:17:33,910 --> 00:17:36,330 that he should                      report the captain                  to Admiral Williams 356 00:17:36,370 --> 00:17:37,660 didn't convince you. 357 00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:39,410 Is that right?                                   They did not, sir. 358 00:17:39,450 --> 00:17:41,210 Why not? 359 00:17:41,250 --> 00:17:44,130 Sir, it's not something a layman   can intelligently discuss. 360 00:17:44,170 --> 00:17:46,840 You've stated                       you're a close friend               of Mr. Maryk. 361 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,460 Yes, sir. 362 00:17:48,510 --> 00:17:51,260 Well, this court                    is trying to find out,              among other things, 363 00:17:51,300 --> 00:17:54,590 any possible                        extenuating circumstances           for his acts. 364 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,600 Did this medical log                merely indicate to you 365 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,770 that Captain Queeg                  was a highly normal                 and competent officer? 366 00:17:59,810 --> 00:18:02,020 Sir,                                 speaking from ignorance, 367 00:18:02,060 --> 00:18:06,820 it's always seemed to me             that mental disability               was a-- a relative thing. 368 00:18:06,860 --> 00:18:09,400 Captain Queeg was                    a very strict disciplinarian 369 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,570 and extremely meticulous            in hunting down                      the smallest matters. 370 00:18:12,610 --> 00:18:16,530 He wasn't the easiest person        in the world to reason with. 371 00:18:16,570 --> 00:18:19,660 And there were several occasions   where I thought                     he came down too hard 372 00:18:19,700 --> 00:18:22,410 and spent excessive time            on small matters. 373 00:18:22,460 --> 00:18:24,830 They were very unpleasant. 374 00:18:24,870 --> 00:18:28,920 But to jump from them                to the conclusion that               the captain was a maniac, 375 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,510 no, no, I was compelled,            in all honesty, 376 00:18:31,550 --> 00:18:33,760 to warn Maryk                        against doing that. 377 00:18:34,970 --> 00:18:37,430 [prosecutor] State your name,       rank and present station. 378 00:18:37,470

When did the captain                 ever mistreat his men? 593 00:28:04,870 --> 00:28:07,960 Well, for one thing,                he systematically persecuted 594 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,880 Gunners Mate Second Class           Stilwell. 595 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,000 In what way? 596 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,090 First, he restricted him             to the ship for six months           for reading on watch. 597 00:28:15,130 --> 00:28:18,010 Refused to grant him leave          when we were back in the States     in December 2021. 598 00:28:18,050 --> 00:28:22,890

 to a screening by mistake. 619 00:29:22,870 --> 00:29:26,080 Uh, he restricted water use          in the middle of a heat wave 620 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,290 'cause he said the men              were using too much,                they had to be taught a lesson. 621 00:29:29,330 --> 00:29:34,380 Did the captain ever issue          any rules or punishments            not permitted by regulations? 622 00:29:35,590 --> 00:29:38,130 He never did anything                not allowed by regulations. 623 00:29:38,170 --> 00:29:40,550 You don't like the captain,

                          Mm-hmm. 626 00:29:44,300 --> 00:29:47,010 But I gradually                      came to realize 627 00:29:47,060 --> 00:29:49,770 that he was a petty tyrant           and utterly incompetent. 628 00:29:49,810 --> 00:29:52,230 Did you think                        he was insane, too? 629 00:29:52,270 --> 00:29:54,270 Not until the day                    of the cyclone. 630 00:29:54,310 --> 00:29:57,070 Very well.                          Come to the day of the storm. 631 00:29:57,110 --> 00:29:58,940 Was your decision                    to obey Maryk 632 00:29:58,980 --> 00:30:01,610 based on your judgment that          the captain had gone mad? 633 00:30:01,650 --> 00:30:04,820 Or was it based                      on your hatred                       of Captain Queeg? 634 00:30:06,450 --> 00:30:11,500 I-- I just-- I don't remember       my state of mind at that time. 635 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:13,750 No further questions. 636 00:30:13,790 --> 00:30:16,920 Mr. Keith, you stated               you disliked Captain Queeg, yes? 637 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,920 I did dislike him. 638 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,670

00:30:29,350 Objection. 642 00:30:29,390 --> 00:30:31,980 The issue in this case              is not whether Captain Queeg        was a model officer, 643 00:30:32,020 --> 00:30:33,850 but whether he was insane           on 18 December. 644 00:30:33,890 --> 00:30:35,980 Defense counsel hasn't              even touched that issue. 645 00:30:36,020 --> 00:30:38,520 Well, please the court,             this bears directly                 on the fitness 646 00:30:38,570 --> 00:30:40,690 of Captain Queeg                    to command a naval vessel. 647 00:30:40,730 --> 00:30:43,070 And as evidence,                    it is nothing but clarification 648 00:30:43,110 --> 00:30:45,410 of Keith's dislike                  for his commanding officer, 649 00:30:45,450 --> 00:30:49,370 a fact brought out                  by trial counsel,                   at great pains, I might add, 650 00:30:49,410 --> 00:30:51,950 under direct examination. 651 00:30:53,410 --> 00:30:55,040 The objection is overruled. 652 00:30:56,580 --> 00:31:00,750 Mr. Keith,                          could you please describe           this so-called extortion? 653 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,590 Well, this was back                  last December                        in Port Doha, Qatar. 654 00:31:04,630 --> 00:31:07,760 Uh, the captain had this crate, 655 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,060 this big crate                      full of duty-free whiskey           that he wanted to sneak aboard. 656 00:31:11,100 --> 00:31:12,890 He appointed me boat officer, 657 00:31:12,930 --> 00:31:15,690 and a working party started         to load the crate in the gig. 658 00:31:15,730 --> 00:31:17,900 It was incredibly heavy, 659 00:31:17,940 --> 00:31:22,530 and Captain Queeg...                got excited 660 00:31:22,570 --> 00:31:25,820 and started screaming out           a whole bunch                       of contradictory orders. 661 00:31:25,860 --> 00:31:28,160 Sailors got rattled,                they dropped the crate              in the water, 662 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,580 it sank like a stone,               I was out a thousand bucks. 663 00:31:31,620

Captain informed me                 it was my responsibility, 666 00:31:38,250 --> 00:31:40,420 'cause I was boat officer           in charge of loading, 667 00:31:40,460 --> 00:31:43,590 and he asked me                     what I wanted to do about it. 668 00:31:43,630 --> 00:31:45,260 I was supposed to go                on leave the next day. 669 00:31:45,300 --> 00:31:48,590 My girlfriend had flown out         from New York to be with me, 670 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,390 so I went to the captain, 671 00:31:50,430 --> 00:31:53,600 I apologized for my stupidity, 672 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,230 and I offered to pay                for the crate. 673 00:31:56,270 --> 00:31:59,730 He took my money                    and signed my leave papers. 674 00:32:00,980 -->

00:32:07,780 was his cowardice                   in dangerous situations. 677 00:32:07,820 --> 00:32:08,780 Objection! 678 00:32:08,820 --> 00:32:10,030 Counsel

00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,420 was not only in the scope           of direct examination, 683 00:32:21,460 --> 00:32:23,750 it was the key fact                 brought out. 684 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,800 Now, the witness has confessed      an ignorance of psychiatry. 685 00:32:28,590 --> 00:32:30,220 Things Captain Queeg did 686 00:32:30,260 --> 00:32:33,310 which forced the witness            in his ignorance                    to dislike him 687 00:32:33,350 --> 00:32:36,100 may in fact have been               the helpless acts                   of a sick man. 688 00:32:36,140

From the earliest days               of our service, 693 00:32:51,370 --> 00:32:54,830 the worst charge                     that can be leveled against          a naval service officer, 694 00:32:54,870 --> 00:32:57,660 especially                           the commanding officer               of a vessel, 695 00:32:57,710 --> 00:33:02,670 is that he displays cowardice       or negligence in the face           of danger to his ship or crew. 696 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,800 Counsel and the witness              are herewith cautioned 697 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,840 that they are treading on            dangerous and unprecedented          grounds here. 698 00:33:11,050 --> 00:33:13,140 Court offers defense counsel        the opportunity 699 00:33:13,180 --> 00:33:15,470 to withdraw his question             from the record. 700 00:33:16,810 --> 00:33:19,230 My question stands, sir. 701 00:33:19,270 --> 00:33:21,310 Lieutenant Keith, 702 00:33:21,350 --> 00:33:24,730 you have the opportunity            to withdraw                          or amend your answers. 703 00:33:24,770 --> 00:33:27,150 I stand by                           what I said, sir. 704 00:33:27,900 --> 00:33:29,820 Very well. 705 00:33:29,860 --> 00:33:32,990 Court finds that the question       is within the scope                 of direct examination 706 00:33:33,030 --> 00:33:35,950 and that the answer                  is material. 707 00:33:35,990 --> 00:33:38,830 The objection                        of the trial counsel                is overruled. 708 00:33:38,870 --> 00:33:41,040 Mr. Keith, can you describe         when and where 709 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,210 the captain displayed               this aversion to danger? 710 00:33:44,250 --> 00:33:48,630 Uh, well,                           I guess the worst time              was a mine-sweeping operation 711 00:33:48,670 --> 00:33:50,220 in the Straits of Hormuz. 712 00:33:50,260 --> 00:33:52,220 That's where                        he got the nickname                 Old Yellowstain. 713 00:33:52,260 --> 00:33:54,720 And this nickname,                  Old Yellowstain,                    what does it imply? 714 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,890 Well, cowardice, of course. 715 00:33:56,930 --> 00:33:59,680 It refers to a yellow dye marker   he dropped over the side. 716 00:33:59,730 --> 00:34:02,850 Describe. Describe                   this Yellowstain incident            for us, please. 717 00:34:02,900 --> 00:34:04,900 I wasn't on                         the bridge at the time. 718 00:34:04,940 --> 00:34:07,020 I only heard                        about it afterwards--                                Oh! Objection. 719 00:34:07,070 --> 00:34:10,570 Does defense counsel                seriously expect to enter these     hearsay libels on the record? 720 00:34:10,610 --> 00:34:12,780 I withdraw the question,            okay? 721 00:34:12,820 --> 00:34:16,830 Defense will introduce              direct evidence                     on the Yellowstain incident. 722 00:34:16,870 --> 00:34:19,620 Strike the question                  and the answer                       from the record. 723 00:34:19,660 --> 00:34:21,830 Describe incidents                  of cowardice 724 00:34:21,870 --> 00:34:24,250 to which you were                   an eyewitness,                      Mr. Keith. 725 00:34:25,170 --> 00:34:28,090 Any time there was                   a difficult situation, 726 00:34:28,130 --> 00:34:31,340 Captain Queeg was always            to be found on the side             of the bridge away from it all. 727 00:34:31,380 --> 00:34:35,430 I saw that a dozen times            when I was officer of the day.      Thank you. 728 00:34:35,470 --> 00:34:37,600 No further questions. 729 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,890 Mr. Keith,                          has Lieutenant Commander Queeg 730 00:34:40,930 --> 00:34:45,390 ever been investigated              or charged by higher authority 731 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:49,440 for any of this alleged              unprofessional behavior              that you describe? 732 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:50,860 No. 733 00:34:50,900 --> 00:34:53,110 Can you cite                         any official records 734 00:34:53,150 --> 00:34:56,410 that'll substantiate                 any of these fantastic 735 00:34:56,450 --> 00:34:58,620 and libelous stories                 that you've been telling 736 00:34:58,660 --> 00:35:00,620 under the guidance                   of defense counsel? 737 00:35:00,660 --> 00:35:02,330 Official records, no. 738 00:35:02,370 --> 00:35:04,870 Mr. Keith, do you                    know for a fact 739 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,250 that the crate that was lost        contained smuggled liquor? 740 00:35:08,290 --> 00:35:10,250 It's common knowledge. 741 00:35:10,300 --> 00:35:12,050 Common knowledge. 742 00:35:12,090 --> 00:35:14,590 Did you see the liquor               in the crate?                                No. 743 00:35:14,630 --> 00:35:18,680 Can you name one person             who will testify that they          saw liquor in the crate? 744 00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:21,720 Naturally, he was pretty            careful about that.         Okay, not one person. 745 00:35:21,770 --> 00:35:25,100 I just-- I don't--                   I don't know who would               have actually seen it. 746 00:35:25,890 --> 00:35:27,190 Mr. Keith,                           you've testified 747 00:35:27,230 --> 00:35:29,310 that you don't like                  Captain Queeg. 748 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,320 You're reporting as fact            every evil rumor about him 749 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,990 and you're making                   wildly irresponsible charges        under oath. 750 00:35:36,030 --> 00:35:37,820 Isn't that the plain truth           of your testimony,                   Mr. Keith? 751 00:35:37,870 --> 00:35:39,910 I haven't lied once. 752 00:35:39,950 --> 00:35:42,240 Mr. Keith, on the morning           that the captain was relieved, 753 00:35:42,290 --> 00:35:44,660 did you really think                he'd gone crazy? 754 00:35:45,620 --> 00:35:47,330 I said before, 755 00:35:47,370 --> 00:35:50,670 I can't say for sure                 what my state of mind was,           or his. 756 00:35:51,710 --> 00:35:53,670 No more questions. 757 00:35:57,340 --> 00:35:59,010 Call Captain Southard. 758 00:36:04,310 --> 00:36:07,270 State your name, rank               and present station. 759 00:36:07,310 --> 00:36:08,850 Randolph Southard, 760 00:36:08,900 --> 00:36:12,150 Captain, US Navy                     operations officer,                  Fifth Fleet. 761 00:36:12,190 --> 00:36:13,860 You understand                      that you've been called             as an expert witness 762 00:36:13,900 --> 00:36:15,440 on Avenger-class                    ship handling? 763 00:36:15,490 --> 00:36:16,820 I do. 764 00:36:16,860 --> 00:36:18,240 State your qualifications. 765 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,740 Some 20 years                        on smaller combatants, 766 00:36:20,780 --> 00:36:22,450 ten years                            of commanding all types, 767 00:36:22,490 --> 00:36:25,450 including ships                      ranging up to                        guided missile destroyers. 768 00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:29,120 To clarify for the members,         will you use the map                marked "Exhibit A" 769 00:36:29,170 --> 00:36:32,840 to illustrate                       the position of the   Caine           when she encountered the storm? 770 00:36:33,710 --> 00:36:37,590 The   Caine                            was approximately here. 771 00:36:37,630 --> 00:36:41,720 The storm hit                        from the northeast,                  heading southwest. 772 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,760 Vessels of the task force            steered south 773 00:36:43,810 --> 00:36:45,640 in an attempt                        to outrun the weather. 774 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,690 The   Caine,   in her spot               on the right flank                   of the sweep pattern, 775 00:36:48,730 --> 00:36:50,190 caught the worst of it. 776 00:36:50,230 --> 00:36:52,900 Rather than steering                with the wind aft, 777 00:36:52,940 --> 00:36:56,740 she turned north                     into the wind and seized. 778 00:36:56,780 --> 00:37:00,660 That was the situation               in the strait                        on the day in question. 779 00:37:00,700 --> 00:37:02,660 Thank you, Captain.                  You may be seated. 780 00:37:02,700 --> 00:37:04,660 Trial counsel,                       you may proceed. 781 00:37:04,700 --> 00:37:06,160 Thank you. 782 00:37:07,330 --> 00:37:10,920 Captain, let's say that,            hypothetically, 783 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,500 you're the one                       who's in command                     of the vessel. 784 00:37:13,540 --> 00:37:16,130 A cyclone blows up                   without warning                      traveling west 785 00:37:16,170 --> 00:37:18,260 and you're directly                  in the path of it. 786 00:37:18,300 --> 00:37:20,010 The wind keeps increasing, 787 00:37:20,050 --> 00:37:22,550 its direction                       holding steady from the north. 788 00:37:22,590 --> 00:37:26,810 Soon your wind                      is force ten to 12                  and your seas are mountainous. 789 00:37:26,850 --> 00:37:29,480 Under the circumstances,            what would you do? 790 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,850 Well, I'd execute                   the classic Navy maneuver 791 00:37:31,900 --> 00:37:34,230 known as getting                    the hell out of there. 792 00:37:34,270 --> 00:37:36,110 And how would you go                about that, Captain? 793 00:37:36,150 --> 00:37:38,280 Well, it's almost                   rule of thumb. 794 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,450 You say the winds                   from the north are 90 knots, 795 00:37:40,490 --> 00:37:43,620 center of the cyclone               coming at you from the west. 796 00:37:43,660 --> 00:37:45,450 The best course is south. 797 00:37:45,490 --> 00:37:48,370 You might have to head              a couple of points                  one way or the other, 798 00:37:48,410 --> 00:37:49,960 depending on your seas, 799 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,880 but there's only one way            out of that mess-- south. 800 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,130 But then you have                   a terribly strong stern wind,       don't you? 801 00:37:57,170 --> 00:37:58,960 What about it? 802 00:37:59,010 --> 00:38:02,510 Well, can a small vessel             ride safely going downwind           in such conditions? 803 00:38:02,550 --> 00:38:06,310 She'll ride just as well             going downwind as upwind. 804 00:38:06,350 --> 00:38:08,770 In fact,                             with your high freeboard             going forward, 805 00:38:08,810 --> 00:38:10,680 a smaller vessel                     tends to back in the wind. 806 00:38:10,730 --> 00:38:15,770 Other things being equal,           she'll do slightly                  better going downwind. 807 00:38:15,810 --> 00:38:18,980 How about turning north              in those circumstances               and heading into the wind? 808 00:38:19,030 --> 00:38:24,490 Well, that would be                 dubious and dangerous,              not to mention idiotic. 809 00:38:24,530 --> 00:38:26,620 Why, sir? 810 00:38:26,660 --> 00:38:29,620 Well, you're heading yourself       right back into the path            of the cyclone. 811 00:38:29,660 --> 00:38:33,250 Unless you're interested             in sinking,                          that's not smart. 812 00:38:33,290 --> 00:38:35,000 That's all, sir. 813 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:39,800 Captain, have you ever               conned a ship                        at the center of a cyclone? 814 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,720 Negative. 815 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,140 Been on the fringes often,           but always managed                   to avoid the center. 816 00:38:45,180 --> 00:38:49,060 And have you ever commanded          a mine countermeasures ship?        Negative. 817 00:38:49,100 --> 00:38:52,480 Okay, this trial, sir,              concerns an Avenger-class MCM 818 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,900 at the center of                    a very dangerous storm. 819 00:38:54,940 --> 00:38:56,860 I'm aware of that. 820 00:38:56,900 --> 00:39:00,360 I've had MCMs under my command,     and I've read the book on them. 821 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,490 They don't differ                    from smaller-class vessels 822 00:39:02,530 --> 00:39:06,950 in terms of characteristics         and handling in rough weather. 823 00:39:06,990 --> 00:39:09,160 I only ask these questions,         sir, 824 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,660 because you are                     the only expert                     ship-handling witness, 825 00:39:11,700 --> 00:39:15,210 and I believe the extent            of your expert knowledge            should be clear to the court. 826 00:39:15,250 --> 00:39:17,290 Well,                                I've handled these ships 827 00:39:17,330 --> 00:39:20,800 in almost                            every conceivable situation          for the last ten years. 828 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,970 Haven't handled                      a mine countermeasures               at the center of a cyclone, 829 00:39:24,010 --> 00:39:27,140 but I don't know                     who the hell has besides             the skipper of the   Caine. 830 00:39:27,180 --> 00:39:29,220 That's                              a thousand-to-one shot. 831 00:39:29,260 --> 00:39:32,350 Then would you state,                without reservation, 832 00:39:32,390 --> 00:39:36,400 that the same rules hold            for an MCM                          at the center of a cyclone? 833 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,570 At the center of a cyclone,         there are no hard                   and fast rules. 834 00:39:40,610 --> 00:39:43,320 That's one situation                where it's all up                   to the commanding officer. 835 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,530 Too many things                     happen too fast. 836 00:39:45,570 --> 00:39:47,530 Mmm. 837 00:39:47,570 --> 00:39:50,740 You remember                        the hypothetical question           put to you by trial counsel 838 00:39:50,780 --> 00:39:52,540 about the storm, yes? 839 00:39:52,580 --> 00:39:53,870 I do. 840 00:39:53,910 --> 00:39:56,000 I want you to assume                in that situation 841 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,710 that the wind and the seas           become bigger. 842 00:39:58,750 --> 00:40:02,250 They become bigger                   than anything-- anything             you have ever experienced. 843 00:40:02,300 --> 00:40:03,960 You have lost control                of your ship, sir. 844 00:40:04,010 --> 00:40:06,260 You actually believe                she could sink. 845 00:40:06,300 --> 00:40:08,930 You are in                           the worst-case scenario. 846 00:40:08,970 --> 00:40:12,390 Do you bring around north            into the wind, 847 00:40:12,430 --> 00:40:15,930 or do you continue south,            stern to the wind? 848 00:40:15,980 --> 00:40:17,770 You're getting                       very extreme. 849 00:40:17,810 --> 00:40:20,020 Yes, sir, I am.                      Would you prefer not                 to answer the question? 850 00:40:20,060 --> 00:40:22,070 I'll answer it.     Please. 851 00:40:22,110 --> 00:40:24,280 In the worst-case scenario, 852 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,610 I'd come around the north,           into the wind, if I could. 853 00:40:27,650 --> 00:40:31,070 But only                             in the worst-case scenario.                  Why? 854 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,080 Because the engines                  in your rudder have                  the best chance that way. 855 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:38,540 That's why.                         It's your last chance               to keep control of your ship. 856 00:40:38,580 --> 00:40:42,290 But aren't you heading back         into the center of the storm?       First things first. 857 00:40:42,340 --> 00:40:44,000 If you're on                         the verge of sinking, 858 00:40:44,050 --> 00:40:46,090 you about as bad off                 as you can get. 859 00:40:46,130 --> 00:40:47,670 Mind you, you said                   worst-case scenario. 860 00:40:47,720 --> 00:40:52,350 I did, sir.                         Thank you very much.                No further questions. 861 00:40:52,390 --> 00:40:54,680 Captain,                             who, in your opinion,                is the best judge 862 00:40:54,720 --> 00:40:57,600 as to whether a ship is in          the worst-case scenario? 863 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,310 There's only one judge.             The commanding officer. 864 00:41:01,350 --> 00:41:03,190 Why, sir? 865 00:41:03,230 --> 00:41:06,530 The Navy made him captain           'cause his knowledge                of the sea and of ships 866 00:41:06,570 --> 00:41:09,400 is better than anyone else's        on the ship. 867 00:41:09,450 --> 00:41:14,160 It's very common                    for some subordinate officers       to think the ship is sinking 868 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,250 when all that's happening           is a little weather. 869 00:41:17,290 --> 00:41:20,080 Well, don't you think, sir,         that when his subordinates 870 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,080 all agree that the ship             is going down 871 00:41:22,130 --> 00:41:23,840 that the captain ought              to listen to them? 872 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,840 Negative. 873 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,170 Panic is a common hazard            at sea. 874 00:41:29,220 --> 00:41:31,340 The highest function of command     is to override 875 00:41:31,380 --> 00:41:34,600 and listen to nothing                but the voice of his own            professional judgment. 876 00:41:35,890 --> 00:41:38,180 Call Dr. Joan Lundeen. 877 00:41:43,060 --> 00:41:45,190 State your name, rank                and present station. 878 00:41:45,230 --> 00:41:47,360 Lieutenant Commander                Joan Lundeen, 879 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,990 Medical Corps, US Navy,             Head of Psychiatry, 880 00:41:50,030 --> 00:41:52,200 US Naval Hospital,                   San Francisco. 881 00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:55,200 Were you the head of                the medical board that examined     Lieutenant Commander Queeg? 882 00:41:55,240 --> 00:41:56,580 I was. 883 00:41:56,620 --> 00:42:00,000 And how long                        did your examination last,          Doctor? 884 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,710 We had the commander                under constant observation          and testing for three weeks. 885 00:42:03,750 --> 00:42:05,790 [Challee]                           And what was the finding            of the board? 886 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,840 Commander Queeg was discharged      with a clean bill of health. 887 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:13,590 Doctor, is it possible               that two months ago,                 on December 18th, 888 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,390 he was in such a state               of psychotic collapse 889 00:42:16,430 --> 00:42:19,520 that relieving him                   from naval command                   would be justified? 890 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:20,810 No. 891 00:42:20,850 --> 00:42:22,690 Is it possible                       for a sane man 892 00:42:22,730 --> 00:42:26,650 to perform offensive,                disagreeable,                        foolish acts? 893 00:42:26,690 --> 00:42:28,400 It happens every day. 894 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,030 We didn't find                       that the commander                   was a perfect officer. 895 00:42:31,070 --> 00:42:34,740 Yet, you still say                   that to relieve him                  from naval command 896 00:42:34,780 --> 00:42:37,910 because of mental illness            would be unjustified? 897 00:42:37,950 --> 00:42:41,080 Completely unjustified. 898 00:42:41,750 --> 00:42:43,290 Thank you. 899 00:42:43,790 --> 00:42:46,000 Dr. Lundeen, 900 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,040 my background is legal,              not medical, 901 00:42:48,090 --> 00:42:51,590 so I hope you'll bear with me       as I try to clarify                 some technical terms. 902 00:42:51,630 --> 00:42:53,340 Of course. 903 00:42:53,380 --> 00:42:57,390 I'm going to ask some               pretty elementary questions.                             All right. 904 00:42:57,430 --> 00:43:00,100 Would you say Commander Queeg       is absolutely normal? 905 00:43:00,140 --> 00:43:01,930 [chuckles] 906 00:43:01,980 --> 00:43:05,310 Well, normality, you know,           is a fiction in psychiatry.     Mmm. 907 00:43:05,350 --> 00:43:08,690 No adult is without problems        except a happy imbecile. 908 00:43:08,730 --> 00:43:10,860 What are                             Commander Queeg's problems? 909 00:43:10,900 --> 00:43:14,530 You might say his                    overall problem is one of            an inferiority complex 910 00:43:14,570 --> 00:43:16,660 generated                            by an unhappy childhood 911 00:43:16,700 --> 00:43:19,990 and aggravated                      by certain adult experiences. 912 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,330 Unhappy childhood                   in what way? 913 00:43:22,370 --> 00:43:26,580 Divorced parents,                    financial trouble, 914 00:43:26,630 --> 00:43:28,130 problems at school. 915 00:43:28,170 --> 00:43:30,500 And the aggravating factors          in adult life? 916 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:33,260 In his adult life, 917 00:43:33,300 --> 00:43:35,550 the commander is troubled           by his low standing 918 00:43:35,590 --> 00:43:37,930 in his academy class                and other such factors, 919 00:43:37,970 --> 00:43:39,800 but he has                          become well-adjusted. 920 00:43:39,850 --> 00:43:42,930 Mmm. Can you describe               the nature of that adjustment? 921 00:43:42,970 --> 00:43:46,480 His identity as a naval officer     is the essential factor. 922 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,940 It's the key                        to his personal security. 923 00:43:48,980 --> 00:43:52,480 Therefore,                          he has a fixed anxiety              about protecting his standing. 924 00:43:52,530 --> 00:43:54,490 That would account                   for his harshness. 925 00:43:54,530 --> 00:43:56,610 Would he be slow                    to admit mistakes? 926 00:43:56,660 --> 00:43:59,320 Yes, of course.                      There's nothing                      unbalanced in that. 927 00:43:59,370 --> 00:44:02,540 Oh, really? I mean,                  would he be a perfectionist? 928 00:44:02,580 --> 00:44:04,620 Such a personality                   would be. 929 00:44:04,660 --> 00:44:06,330 Inclined to hound                    his subordinates 930 00:44:06,370 --> 00:44:07,920 over the smallest                    little details. 931 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:11,460 Any mistake                          of a subordinate                     is intolerable 932 00:44:11,500 --> 00:44:13,550 because it might cause him harm. 933 00:44:13,590 --> 00:44:17,550 Yet he will not admit mistakes      that he makes himself. 934 00:44:17,590 --> 00:44:21,760 You might say                        that he revises reality              in his own mind 935 00:44:21,810 --> 00:44:23,680 so he comes out blameless. 936 00:44:23,720 --> 00:44:27,480 Doctor, isn't                        distortion of reality                a symptom of mental illness? 937 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,270 It's a question of degree. 938 00:44:30,310 --> 00:44:32,650 Each one of us                       has our own reality. 939 00:44:32,690 --> 00:44:37,030 Yes, Doctor, but doesn't            Commander Queeg distort reality     more, say, than you do? 940 00:44:37,070 --> 00:44:39,320 Yes, that's his weakness. 941 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,280 Other people                         have other weaknesses. 942 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,450 It's definitely                      not disabling. 943 00:44:43,490 --> 00:44:48,540 Well, if he's criticized,            would he think he was                being unjustly persecuted? 944 00:44:49,370 --> 00:44:51,290 It's all one pattern, 945 00:44:51,330 --> 00:44:55,130 all stemming                        from one basic premise              that he must try to be perfect. 946 00:44:55,170 --> 00:44:56,840 Inclined to stubbornness, then. 947 00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:00,340 Well, you'll have                    a certain rigidity                   of personality 948 00:45:00,390 --> 00:45:02,390 in such an individual. 949 00:45:02,430 --> 00:45:04,720 His inner insecurity                 stops him from admitting 950 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,680 that those who differ                from him may be right. 951 00:45:07,730 --> 00:45:12,980 Doctor, you just testified that     the following symptoms exist        in Commander Queeg's behavior. 952 00:45:13,020 --> 00:45:14,690 We have rigidity                    of personality. 953 00:45:14,730 --> 00:45:16,440 We have feelings                    of persecution. 954 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,530 We have                             unreasonable suspicion. 955 00:45:18,570 --> 00:45:20,240 We have withdrawal                  from reality. 956 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,280 We have performance anxiety. 957 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,830 We have an unreal basic premise 958 00:45:24,870 --> 00:45:27,700 and an obsessive sense              of self-righteousness. 959 00:45:27,750 --> 00:45:31,080 All mild, sir.                       All well-compensated. 960 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,130 Yes, Doctor, yes. 961 00:45:33,170 --> 00:45:37,300 But is there                        an inclusive psychiatric term,      one label for this syndrome? 962 00:45:37,340 --> 00:45:40,180 Syndrome? Who said anything         about a syndrome? 963 00:45:40,220 --> 00:45:44,720 You're misusing a term.             There's no syndrome                 because there's no disease. 964 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:46,680 I'll rephrase it. 965 00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:48,890 Do these symptoms                    fall into 966 00:45:48,930 --> 00:45:53,020 a single pattern                     of neurotic disturbance,             a common psychiatric class? 967 00:45:53,060 --> 00:45:55,570 I know                               what you're getting at.     Well? 968 00:45:55,610 --> 00:45:59,860 It's a paranoid personality,        but that is not                     a disabling affliction. 969 00:45:59,900 --> 00:46:02,110 Doctor--                            A what personality,                 Doctor? 970 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,030 Paranoid. 971 00:46:04,070 --> 00:46:07,200 A paranoid?                      Yes, paranoid. 972 00:46:09,750 --> 00:46:12,750 Um, Doctor, in a-- 973 00:46:14,500 --> 00:46:17,960 in a paranoid personality,           like Commander Queeg's, 974 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:19,880 would he-- I'm-- 975 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,090 I'm gonna put this to you            hypothetically. 976 00:46:22,130 --> 00:46:24,590 Can a man have                      a paranoid personality 977 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,180 that would not disable him           for subordinate duties, 978 00:46:27,220 --> 00:46:28,810 but would disable him                for command? 979 00:46:28,850 --> 00:46:30,980 It's conceivable. 980 00:46:31,020 --> 00:46:34,190 And is the disabling factor          likely to be detected                in a personal interview? 981 00:46:34,230 --> 00:46:36,230 With a skilled                       psychiatrist, yes. 982 00:46:36,270 --> 00:46:38,980 Why? I mean,                        why is a psychiatrist needed? 983 00:46:39,030 --> 00:46:41,990 Can't an educated, intelligent      person detect a paranoid? 984 00:46:42,030 --> 00:46:44,910 Well, you evidently                  aren't too well acquainted           with the pattern. 985 00:46:44,950 --> 00:46:47,370 The distinguishing mark              of this neurosis 986 00:46:47,410 --> 00:46:51,830 is the extreme plausibility          and a most convincing normal        manner on the surface, 987 00:46:51,870 --> 00:46:54,330 particularly                         in self-justification. 988 00:46:54,370 --> 00:46:56,290 Self-justification. 989 00:46:56,330 --> 00:46:58,000 Thank you, Doctor. 990 00:46:59,130 --> 00:47:00,510 No further questions. 991 00:47:00,550 --> 00:47:02,840 [officer] The court wishes           to clear up one point. 992 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:07,600 Doctor, is...                       is such a thing possible-- 993 00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,310 Well, let me put it this way. 994 00:47:10,350 --> 00:47:12,180 Let's say that a man                with a mild condition 995 00:47:12,230 --> 00:47:16,100 is not disabled for all             the usual stresses of command. 996 00:47:16,150 --> 00:47:20,860 Now let's say those stresses        are multiplied manifold             by an extreme emergency. 997 00:47:20,900 --> 00:47:23,820 Would there then be a tendency      to make erroneous judgments? 998 00:47:23,860 --> 00:47:25,570 There might be, sir. 999 00:47:25,610 --> 00:47:28,740 Of course, extreme stress           does that to almost anybody. 1000 00:47:28,780 --> 00:47:30,740 It's not supposed to do it          to commanding officers. 1001 00:47:30,790 --> 00:47:35,000 No, but practically speaking,       sir, they're human. 1002 00:47:38,590 --> 00:47:41,170 State your name, rank                and present station. 1003 00:47:41,210 --> 00:47:43,920 Allen Bird, MD,                     US Navy Reserve. 1004 00:47:43,970 --> 00:47:46,930 I was called to serve on            the psychiatric evaluation team. 1005 00:47:46,970 --> 00:47:49,430 Was this the board that              was headed by Dr. Lundeen 1006 00:47:49,470 --> 00:47:52,770 which recently inquired into        the mental health of                 Lieutenant Commander Queeg? 1007 00:47:52,810 --> 00:47:54,980 Yes.                    And what was the finding            of the board? 1008 00:47:55,020 --> 00:47:58,150 We found that the commander          is mentally fit                      for command now 1009 00:47:58,190 --> 00:48:00,570 and has never been unfit. 1010 00:48:00,610 --> 00:48:03,400 Did you find any indication         that Commander Queeg 1011 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,740 had what is known                    as a paranoid personality? 1012 00:48:06,780 --> 00:48:10,870 Well, I prefer to call it           obsessive personality               with paranoid features. 1013 00:48:10,910 --> 00:48:14,950 Right, but this did not              indicate mental unfitness.               No. 1014 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,210 You agree, Doctor,                   that Commander Queeg                is mentally fit now 1015 00:48:18,250 --> 00:48:21,000 and must have been                   mentally fit                         on December 18th 1016 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,300 when he was relieved                on the grounds                       of mental illness? 1017 00:48:23,340 --> 00:48:25,380 That was                            our unanimous conclusion. 1018 00:48:25,420 --> 00:48:27,430 Thank you, Doctor. 1019 00:48:27,470 --> 00:48:29,260 [Greenwald]                         Dr. Bird, 1020 00:48:29,300 --> 00:48:32,510 do you have any special training   in psychoanalysis? 1021 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,390 Yes. 1022 00:48:34,430 --> 00:48:37,190 Okay, and in psychoanalysis,        is there such a thing                as mental illness? 1023 00:48:37,230 --> 00:48:39,940 There are disturbed people          and adjusted people. 1024 00:48:39,980 --> 00:48:41,940 But those terms,                     "disturbed" and "adjusted," 1025 00:48:41,980 --> 00:48:44,440 they correspond roughly              in layman's terms 1026 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,530 to "sick" and "well,"                as we use them. 1027 00:48:46,570 --> 00:48:48,610 Very roughly, yes. 1028 00:48:48,660 --> 00:48:53,490 Would you say                        Commander Queeg suffers              from an inferiority complex? 1029 00:48:53,530 --> 00:48:57,250 Yes, but it's...                     well-compensated. 1030 00:48:57,290 --> 00:48:59,960 Is there a difference                between "compensated"                and "adjusted"? 1031 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,170 Most definitely. 1032 00:49:01,210 --> 00:49:03,800 Okay, could you please              describe that for us? 1033 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,210 Well, let's say                      a man is suffering 1034 00:49:06,260 --> 00:49:09,880 from some deep-seated                psychological disturbance. 1035 00:49:09,930 --> 00:49:13,970 He can compensate                    by finding outlets                   for his peculiar drives. 1036 00:49:14,010 --> 00:49:19,190 Okay. So, has Commander Queeg       ever been psychoanalyzed? 1037 00:49:19,230 --> 00:49:21,850 No.     He's in your terms, then,           a disturbed person? 1038 00:49:21,900 --> 00:49:24,730 Yes, he is.                          Not disabled, however,               by the disturbance. 1039 00:49:24,770 --> 00:49:26,990 Okay, how is he compensated? 1040 00:49:28,240 --> 00:49:29,950 Mainly two ways. 1041 00:49:29,990 --> 00:49:33,070 The paranoid pattern,               which is useless                    and not desirable, 1042 00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:36,790 and his naval career,               which is extremely useful           and desirable. 1043 00:49:36,830 --> 00:49:39,660 Yes, Doctor, have you                noticed that little thing            he does with his hands? 1044 00:49:39,710 --> 00:49:41,420 You mean                            rolling the steel balls?                         Yes. 1045 00:49:41,460 --> 00:49:43,250 Could you describe                   that for us, please? 1046 00:49:43,290 --> 00:49:45,840 It's an incessant rolling           of two marbles in his hand. 1047 00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,590 Mm-hmm.                              Why does he do it? 1048 00:49:48,630 --> 00:49:51,300 Oh, uh, his hands tremble. 1049 00:49:51,340 --> 00:49:54,220 He does it to still his hands       and conceal the trembling. 1050 00:49:54,260 --> 00:49:55,510 Why do his hands tremble? 1051 00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,730 Inner tension.                      It's a surface symptom. 1052 00:49:58,770 --> 00:50:01,230 Doctor, you've testified            that Commander Queeg 1053 00:50:01,270 --> 00:50:03,940 is a disturbed,                      not an adjusted person, yes? 1054 00:50:03,980 --> 00:50:06,360 Yes.                                         So he is,                            in layman's terms, sick. 1055 00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,690 Yes? 1056 00:50:08,740 --> 00:50:12,160 I remember agreeing to the          rough resemblance of the terms      "disturbed" and "sick," 1057 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,620 but by those terms                  an awful lot of people              are sick. 1058 00:50:14,660 --> 00:50:17,660 Yes, Doctor, but this court          only has Commander Queeg's           sickness at issue. 1059 00:50:17,700 --> 00:50:21,460 If he is sick, how could             your board have given him            a clean bill of health? 1060 00:50:21,500 --> 00:50:24,960 Y-You're playing on words.          We found no disability. 1061 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,380 Doctor, just suppose                 for an instant 1062 00:50:27,420 --> 00:50:31,010 that the requirements of command   are way more severe                 than you believe them to be. 1063 00:50:31,050 --> 00:50:34,220 Wouldn't even this mild sickness   be enough to disable him? 1064 00:50:34,260 --> 00:50:36,680 That's absurdly hypothetical,       because--                           Oh, is it? 1065 00:50:36,720 --> 00:50:38,850 Have you ever had                    sea duty, Doctor?           No. 1066 00:50:38,890 --> 00:50:41,890 No? How long have you been           in the service of the Navy? 1067 00:50:41,930 --> 00:50:43,230 Five months.            Five months? 1068 00:50:43,270 --> 00:50:45,900 Five--                               Six months.                  Six, I guess now. 1069 00:50:45,940 --> 00:50:47,940 Six months in the service           of the Navy. 1070 00:50:47,980 --> 00:50:51,400 Have you ever had any dealings      with ships' captains                prior to this case? 1071 00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:52,570 No.                                                  No? 1072 00:50:52,610 --> 00:50:54,030 Then on what do you base 1073 00:50:54,070 --> 00:50:55,450 your estimate                       of the requirements of command? 1074 00:50:55,490 --> 00:50:57,410 My general knowledge. 1075 00:50:57,450 --> 00:51:00,410 Would you say it takes somebody,   a person of exceptional ability, 1076 00:51:00,450 --> 00:51:03,330 highly gifted, highly skilled       to be a commander                   of a naval vessel? 1077 00:51:03,370 --> 00:51:04,750 No.                     No. Really? 1078 00:51:04,790 --> 00:51:07,170 Not highly gifted, no.          Then what? 1079 00:51:07,210 --> 00:51:09,710 Uh, reasonable responses.       "Reasonable"? 1080 00:51:09,750 --> 00:51:11,800 Uh, fairly good                      intelligence.                   "Fairly good"? 1081 00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,220 Sufficient training                  and experience, but-- 1082 00:51:14,260 --> 00:51:17,220 Is this enough equipment,            say, for a highly skilled            psychiatrist? 1083 00:51:17,260 --> 00:51:19,100 Not exactly. 1084 00:51:19,140 --> 00:51:21,350 So in other words,                   it takes more ability                to be a psychiatrist 1085 00:51:21,390 --> 00:51:24,020 than it does to be                   the commander of                     a US naval vessel. 1086 00:51:24,060 --> 00:51:26,690 It takes-- That is,                  uh, different abilities              are required. 1087 00:51:26,730 --> 00:51:28,940 You're making the comparison,       not I. 1088 00:51:28,980 --> 00:51:31,730 No, Doctor, you're the one          that said you don't think           Commander Queeg's sickness 1089 00:51:31,780 --> 00:51:34,070 should disable him for command. 1090 00:51:34,110 --> 00:51:37,570 I am suggesting that since          you evidently know little about     the requirements of command, 1091 00:51:37,620 --> 00:51:39,450 that you may be wrong                in your conclusion. 1092 00:51:39,490 --> 00:51:41,950 Well, I reject                       your suggestion.                                 Oh, you do? Why? 1093 00:51:41,990 --> 00:51:44,250 Because you've deliberately         substituted the word "sick," 1094 00:51:44,290 --> 00:51:46,870 which is a loose--                  a polarizing--                                               Have I? 1095 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:48,630 A what word, Doctor?                                 Polarizing. 1096 00:51:48,670 --> 00:51:50,460 A polarizing word.                           I never said "sick." 1097 00:51:50,500 --> 00:51:53,300 My grasp of the requirements        of command is adequate, 1098 00:51:53,340 --> 00:51:56,090 or I would have                     disqualified myself                 from serving on the board. 1099 00:51:56,130 --> 00:51:57,800 Maybe you should                    have disqualified yourself. 1100 00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:59,510 Objection!                          The witness is being badgered! 1101 00:51:59,550 --> 00:52:01,640 I withdraw                           my last statement. 1102 00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:03,560 No further questions. 1103 00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,230 Doctor, the defense counsel          has managed to put                   words into your mouth 1104 00:52:06,270 --> 00:52:08,560 that I'm certain                    you don't mean. 1105 00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,440 I'm not aware that                  he succeeded in putting             any words into my mouth. 1106 00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,490 Doctor, he drew                      the implication from you             that Captain Queeg is sick. 1107 00:52:14,530 --> 00:52:17,660 Surely you don't--      I'm careful in my use               of terminology. 1108 00:52:17,700 --> 00:52:20,870 I did not use the term "sick." 1109 00:52:20,910 --> 00:52:25,710 Captain Queeg is definitely         not disabled for command,           which is the only issue here. 1110 00:52:28,790 --> 00:52:30,330 Prosecution rests. 1111 00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:33,670 Defense,                             present your case. 1112 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:36,670 I call the accused. 1113 00:52:38,050 --> 00:52:41,760 Does the accused request that       he be permitted to testify?                              Yes, sir. 1114 00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:43,810 You have the right                   not to take the stand. 1115 00:52:43,850 --> 00:52:46,680 If you don't take the stand,        that fact won't be                   to your prejudice. 1116 00:52:46,730 --> 00:52:50,350 If you take the stand,              you may be subjected to             a rigorous cross-examination. 1117 00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,270 I understand that,                   sir. 1118 00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,230 You may take the stand. 1119 00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,910 State your name, rank               and present position. 1120 00:52:59,950 --> 00:53:01,320 Steven Maryk,                        Lieutenant, US Navy, 1121 00:53:01,370 --> 00:53:03,200 executive officer                    of the USS   Caine. 1122 00:53:03,240 --> 00:53:05,750 Are you the accused                 in this court-martial?                           Yes, I am. 1123 00:53:05,790 --> 00:53:08,160 What was your occupation            in civilian life? 1124 00:53:08,210 --> 00:53:10,960 Helping my father                    in his fishing business.            We own a couple boats. 1125 00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:12,920 Where?                                           San Francisco. 1126 00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,340 Then you were familiar              with the problems                   of ocean-going ship handling 1127 00:53:15,380 --> 00:53:17,170 prior to joining the Navy? 1128 00:53:17,220 --> 00:53:19,680 Yes, I've been on boats              since I was 14. 1129 00:53:19,720 --> 00:53:23,350 Did you relieve                     the commander of the USS   Caine      18th December, 2022? 1130 00:53:23,390 --> 00:53:25,430 Yes, I did. 1131 00:53:25,470 --> 00:53:28,020 Was the   Caine   in trouble            when you relieved its captain?                           Yes, it was. 1132 00:53:28,060 --> 00:53:31,560 And on what facts                   do you base that judgment?                   Well, several things. 1133 00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,190 We couldn't hold course. 1134 00:53:33,230 --> 00:53:35,570 We broached three times              in an hour.                 "Broached"? 1135 00:53:35,610 --> 00:53:39,200 Yes, wind and sea took charge       and tossed us sideways              ten minutes at a time. 1136 00:53:39,240 --> 00:53:42,070 We were rolling too steeply         for the inclinometer to record. 1137 00:53:42,110 --> 00:53:45,410 We were shipping water              out of the wheelhouse.              The generators were cutting out. 1138 00:53:45,450 --> 00:53:48,040 The ship was not responding          to emergency rudder                  and engine settings. 1139 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:49,540 We were lost                         and out of control. 1140 00:53:49,580 --> 00:53:51,670 And did you inform                  your captain of this?                                    Yes. 1141 00:53:51,710 --> 00:53:55,750 Repeatedly for an hour.              I begged him                         to come north into the wind. 1142 00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,260 What was his reply? 1143 00:53:57,300 --> 00:54:00,760 Well, mostly                         just a glazed look                   and no answer. 1144 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,510 Mr. Maryk, 1145 00:54:03,550 --> 00:54:07,350 when did you start                  keeping your medical log            on Commander Queeg? 1146 00:54:07,390 --> 00:54:09,730 Shortly after the incident           with the mines                       in the Straits of Hormuz. 1147 00:54:09,770 --> 00:54:13,520 And why did you start it?                I began to think the captain        might be mentally ill. 1148 00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,150 Why?                                         Because of the yellow                dye marker business. 1149 00:54:16,190 --> 00:54:19,860 You mean the incident               where the commander acquired        the nickname Old Yellowstain? 1150 00:54:19,900 --> 00:54:21,110 Yes. 1151 00:54:21,150 --> 00:54:23,490 Were you an eyewitness              to this occurrence? 1152 00:54:23,530 --> 00:54:25,450 I was navigator.                     I was right there                    on the bridge. 1153 00:54:25,490 --> 00:54:28,080 Please describe                     this Yellowstain incident. 1154 00:54:29,410 --> 00:54:32,370 It was the third day                of an assigned sweep                with two other MCMs. 1155 00:54:32,420 --> 00:54:33,920 Mm-hmm. 1156 00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,750 We had detected                      a field of acoustic mines. 1157 00:54:36,790 --> 00:54:38,750 [speaking louder]                    It was the third day 1158 00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:40,800 of an assigned sweep                 with two other MCMs. 1159 00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:42,800 We detected a field                 of acoustic mines 1160 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,800 in the narrowest part               of the strait 1161 00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:46,970 and we'd been ordered               to destroy them in place            using high explosives. 1162 00:54:47,010 --> 00:54:50,310 And that's delicate business.       It's gotta be done just right. 1163 00:54:50,350 --> 00:54:52,980 We milled around out there           for a while. 1164 00:54:53,020 --> 00:54:56,060 Then the captain decided            not to set the charges. 1165 00:54:56,110 --> 00:54:58,110 He gave us some excuse               about faulty equipment. 1166 00:54:58,150 --> 00:55:00,820 I checked the gear.                 It was in perfect working order. 1167 00:55:00,860 --> 00:55:02,740 And the captain                      wouldn't hear it. 1168 00:55:02,780 --> 00:55:05,280 He said the tech was incompetent   and he knew better. 1169 00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:08,080 So we dropped                        a yellow dye marker                  over the side, 1170 00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:10,240 radioed to the other MCM            to destroy the mines. 1171 00:55:10,290 --> 00:55:14,120 They radioed back                   to slow down, but we just--         we steamed right out of there. 1172 00:55:14,170 --> 00:55:15,500 [Greenwald] "Steamed."              Now, Mr. Maryk-- 1173 00:55:15,540 --> 00:55:18,040 The court wishes to                  question the witness. 1174 00:55:18,090 --> 00:55:21,800 Lieutenant, you say                 the gear was in working order.      Did you check it personally? 1175 00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,380 Yes, sir, along with                the chief electronic tech           and the sonar men. 1176 00:55:24,430 --> 00:55:26,430 It was fine.                        There was absolutely                nothing wrong with the gear. 1177 00:55:26,470 --> 00:55:29,100 And after you steamed away,          was there any danger                 due to shock waves 1178 00:55:29,140 --> 00:55:30,720 from the underwater                  detonations? 1179 00:55:30,770 --> 00:55:32,850 No.                                 No, there was not. 1180 00:55:32,890 --> 00:55:35,520 MCMs are designed to                withstand that kind of thing.       We do this all the time. 1181 00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:39,270 Now, you say these boats            signaled to you                      to slow down. 1182 00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:41,940 Yes, sir.                                    Was the signal reported              to your captain? 1183 00:55:41,980 --> 00:55:43,690 I reported it to him myself. 1184 00:55:43,740 --> 00:55:45,490 Was he aware that                    he was steaming away 1185 00:55:45,530 --> 00:55:47,950 from his assigned spot               in the sweep formation? 1186 00:55:47,990 --> 00:55:50,530 It was obvious to                   everyone on the bridge.             I pointed it out. 1187 00:55:50,580 --> 00:55:52,700 I said we were breaking             the sweep pattern, 1188 00:55:52,750 --> 00:55:55,000 that the other vessels              would not know                      where we'd found the mines. 1189 00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:59,460 And that is when he said,           "We'll drop a yellow dye marker     over the side then." 1190 00:55:59,500 --> 00:56:01,380 You may continue. 1191 00:56:01,420 --> 00:56:04,760 Mr. Maryk, why didn't               you go immediately                  to a higher authority 1192 00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,470 with your doubts                    about Captain Queeg's               mental health? 1193 00:56:07,510 --> 00:56:10,350 I felt if I had a record,            I'd be on stronger ground. 1194 00:56:10,390 --> 00:56:12,430 That's when I decided                to keep the medical log. 1195 00:56:12,470 --> 00:56:15,890 If I was wrong,                     I'd just burn it.                   I kept it under lock and key. 1196 00:56:15,940 --> 00:56:17,810 And what,                           in your opinion, 1197 00:56:17,850 --> 00:56:20,480 made an incident worthy             of keeping a record                 in the medical log? 1198 00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,690 Any act that seemed                  abnormal or strange. 1199 00:56:22,730 --> 00:56:24,740 Like what?                               Like the coffee machine. 1200 00:56:24,780 --> 00:56:26,320 The coffee machine                  business?                                        Yes. 1201 00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:28,160 Well, please describe               the coffee machine thing. 1202 00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,070 We had a new coffee machine          in the wardroom. 1203 00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,790 And, uh, Captain                     really liked his coffee.             But you had to be careful. 1204 00:56:33,830 --> 00:56:36,330 You couldn't leave it               plugged in too long                 or the thing would burn out. 1205 00:56:36,370 --> 00:56:38,540 That's exactly what happened. 1206 00:56:38,580 --> 00:56:40,840 One of the guys assigned            to the wardroom mess duty           forgot to unplug it 1207 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,090 and the thing was--                  it was just fried. 1208 00:56:43,130 --> 00:56:45,760 And none of them would admit        which one had done it. 1209 00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:49,430 So the captain ordered              all the officers of the ship        to sit as a trial of inquiry 1210 00:56:49,470 --> 00:56:51,390 to find out who'd burned out        the coffee machine. 1211 00:56:51,430 --> 00:56:55,060 Which-- Look, in itself,            it's a silly thing. 1212 00:56:55,100 --> 00:56:57,940 But this went on                     for 36 hours. 1213 00:56:57,980 --> 00:56:59,270 [Greenwald whistles] 1214 00:56:59,310 --> 00:57:00,900 [Maryk]                             All ship's work suspended. 1215 00:57:00,940 --> 00:57:03,320 And there we are, all of us,        we're in the wardroom. 1216 00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:06,070 We're dying for sleep,               we need showers, 1217 00:57:06,110 --> 00:57:08,650 and we're trying to figure out      which one of these poor bastards   burned out the coffee machine. 1218 00:57:08,700 --> 00:57:11,990 And they're so scared,               they think whoever did it            is gonna get shot. 1219 00:57:12,030 --> 00:57:13,870 They'd have sooner died              before they told us. 1220 00:57:13,910 --> 00:57:16,290 And so, finally,                     I go to the captain 1221 00:57:16,330 --> 00:57:19,420 and I say all the officers          will admit that they're             incompetent investigators 1222 00:57:19,460 --> 00:57:21,880 and take the hit                    on their fitness reports, 1223 00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:26,130 but we can't find out               who left the coffee machine         plugged in for too long. 1224 00:57:26,170 --> 00:57:29,300 And so he makes a mark              in his black book                   and he calls off the inquiry. 1225 00:57:29,340 --> 00:57:32,140 It's things like that.               Or the water business. 1226 00:57:32,180 --> 00:57:33,390 The water business.                              Yes. 1227 00:57:33,430 --> 00:57:35,760 Please describe                     that water business. 1228 00:57:35,810 --> 00:57:39,940 Look, it's all in the log.      I know, but please describe         the water business. 1229 00:57:39,980 --> 00:57:42,730 The captain                          restricted water use                 from the entire crew 1230 00:57:42,770 --> 00:57:44,730 for two days                         in the middle                        of a dust storm 1231 00:57:44,770 --> 00:57:48,400 because he caught                    one of the deck gang                 taking a shower. 1232 00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,360 Or it's plain crazy things.          Cheese business. 1233 00:57:51,410 --> 00:57:52,950 The cheese business.                     The strawberry-- Yes. 1234 00:57:52,990 --> 00:57:56,080 Cheese business?                     I don't recall                       any cheese business. 1235 00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:59,250 This was on the first ship          the captain was assigned to,        sir, as an ensign. 1236 00:57:59,290 --> 00:58:02,460 Cheese was going missing            from the ship's stores. 1237 00:58:02,500 --> 00:58:04,670 And the captain investigated        and he caught a sailor 1238 00:58:04,710 --> 00:58:08,340 who'd made a duplicate key          to the padlock                      to the refrigerator. 1239 00:58:08,380 --> 00:58:10,510 Now, for catching                   this cheese thief, 1240 00:58:10,550 --> 00:58:12,720 he was given a letter               of commendation. 1241 00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,300 This is during peacetime,           so naturally                        he's pretty proud of the thing. 1242 00:58:15,350 --> 00:58:19,270 So when the strawberry stuff        started, he insisted                it was the same thing. 1243 00:58:19,310 --> 00:58:20,850 And all we had to do                was find the guy 1244 00:58:20,890 --> 00:58:23,810 who had made a duplicate key        to the wardroom fridge. 1245 00:58:23,850 --> 00:58:25,940 But of course                        that's ridiculous. 1246 00:58:25,980 --> 00:58:29,490 It was one of the guys assigned     to the wardroom mess again. 1247 00:58:29,530 --> 00:58:32,240 We all knew that they'd eaten       this quart of strawberries. 1248 00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:33,700 It was left over                    from the wardroom mess. 1249 00:58:33,740 --> 00:58:35,780 They were entitled to it.           That was the custom. 1250 00:58:35,820 --> 00:58:37,740 But when the captain                started to freak out                about those strawberries, 1251 00:58:37,790 --> 00:58:39,620 they froze up,                      said they didn't                    know who'd eaten them. 1252 00:58:39,660 --> 00:58:42,410 And the captain's                   so hot on his theory                he believes them. 1253 00:58:42,460 --> 00:58:44,580 So he ordered the search            for the key.                        Yes, sir. 1254 00:58:44,630 --> 00:58:49,340 We have never seen Captain Queeg   so happy before or since. 1255 00:58:49,380 --> 00:58:52,260 He's living the cheese business     all over again. 1256 00:58:52,300 --> 00:58:54,890 He organized the search himself. 1257 00:58:54,930 --> 00:58:57,510 We collected every key              on that ship. 1258 00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:01,310 We had just boxes--                 barrels of keys. 1259 00:59:01,350 --> 00:59:03,390 That's about 2,800 of them          all told, 1260 00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:05,650 each tagged                         with the owner's name. 1261 00:59:05,690 --> 00:59:09,020 And just to be safe,                we searched that ship               from stem to stern, 1262 00:59:09,070 --> 00:59:11,690 from the radar mast                  to the bilge. 1263 00:59:11,740 --> 00:59:13,110 We stripped the crew naked. 1264 00:59:13,150 --> 00:59:14,990 [Greenwald]                         Naked?                                   Yes, sir. Naked. 1265 00:59:15,030 --> 00:59:17,450 Each one of them lined up,          stark naked, 1266 00:59:17,490 --> 00:59:19,740 and we shook out their clothes. 1267 00:59:19,790 --> 00:59:22,710 We searched their lockers.          We searched every hole,             every place on that ship. 1268 00:59:22,750 --> 00:59:25,370 We crawled under the bilge          and pulled out                      the lead ballast blocks 1269 00:59:25,420 --> 00:59:27,130 that are 200 pounds apiece. 1270 00:59:27,170 --> 00:59:30,340 This went on for three days. 1271 00:59:30,380 --> 00:59:32,380 [Greenwald]                         Three days?                         [Maryk] Yes, sir. 1272 00:59:32,420 --> 00:59:36,550 All in the name of a key            that never existed. 1273 00:59:36,590 --> 00:59:41,310 So, when I saw the captain           sitting by the fridge, 1274 00:59:41,350 --> 00:59:43,230 pulling keys one by one              from a barrel 1275 00:59:43,270 --> 00:59:47,690 and trying them in a padlock        for hours on end                     with a gleam in his eye, 1276 00:59:47,730 --> 00:59:49,820 I gave up. 1277 00:59:49,860 --> 00:59:53,610 And that is when                     I showed the medical log             to Lieutenant Keefer. 1278 00:59:54,780 --> 00:59:56,530 Mr. Maryk, 1279 00:59:56,570 --> 00:59:58,780 when Lieutenant Keefer               finished reading                     your medical log, 1280 00:59:58,820 --> 01:00:01,120 what was                             his first comment? 1281 01:00:01,870 --> 01:00:03,540 Sir, I don't remember. 1282 01:00:03,580 --> 01:00:06,330 Did he encourage you                 to go to Admiral Williams? 1283 01:00:06,370 --> 01:00:08,290 No, sir,                            I did that on my own. 1284 01:00:08,330 --> 01:00:10,420 But he went with you                to the flagship. 1285 01:00:10,460 --> 01:00:14,130 Yes, sir.                        So, at first,                        he didn't discourage you? 1286 01:00:15,670 --> 01:00:18,470 Once we were                         aboard the flagship,                 he discouraged me 1287 01:00:18,510 --> 01:00:20,970 and said we shouldn't               go through it and we didn't. 1288 01:00:21,010 --> 01:00:23,470 Would you say his testimony          on the subject was                   substantially correct? 1289 01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,980 Yes, sir.                           This was all my doing, sir. 1290 01:00:26,020 --> 01:00:27,480 Continue your examination. 1291 01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,900 Mr. Maryk,                          when the cyclone was over, 1292 01:00:29,940 --> 01:00:32,820 did Commander Queeg                 make an attempt                     to regain command? 1293 01:00:32,860 --> 01:00:34,610 Yes. 1294 01:00:34,650 --> 01:00:36,990 On the morning of the 19th,         after the storm had blown out. 1295 01:00:37,030 --> 01:00:38,490 What happened? 1296 01:00:39,870 --> 01:00:42,120 Well, I was in the chart house      writing up a dispatch. 1297 01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:45,000 And?                                     I was reporting the relief           to Admiral Williams. 1298 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,370 And? 1299 01:00:47,410 --> 01:00:50,380 Captain Queeg came and asked        if I would go to his cabin          and speak to him 1300 01:00:50,420 --> 01:00:52,340 before I sent the dispatch. 1301 01:00:52,380 --> 01:00:55,300 So I went below                      and we talked. 1302 01:00:55,340 --> 01:00:57,260 And what happened? 1303 01:00:58,550 --> 01:01:02,350 It was the same as before,           uh, at first. 1304 01:01:02,390 --> 01:01:04,220 He said I'd be                      court-martialed for mutiny. 1305 01:01:04,260 --> 01:01:08,310 And then he went                    on this long thing about            how much he loved the Navy, 1306 01:01:08,350 --> 01:01:10,230 that he has no other interests, 1307 01:01:10,270 --> 01:01:13,520 and even if                         he was cleared of this              that his record would be ruined. 1308 01:01:13,570 --> 01:01:16,280 And I told him                       I felt sorry for him. 1309 01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:18,200 And I-- I really did. 1310 01:01:19,910 --> 01:01:22,990 And that's when                      he came out with                     his proposal. 1311 01:01:23,030 --> 01:01:24,450 Which? 1312 01:01:25,830 --> 01:01:28,210 He said he wouldn't                  write me up and report me, 1313 01:01:28,250 --> 01:01:30,170 that he would resume                 command of the ship 1314 01:01:30,210 --> 01:01:33,340 and that the whole thing would      be written off and forgotten. 1315 01:01:33,380 --> 01:01:35,880 And what was your reply             to his proposal? 1316 01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:37,800 I was amazed. 1317 01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:40,880 I said, Captain,                    the whole ship knows about it.      [Greenwald] Yes. 1318 01:01:40,930 --> 01:01:43,180 It's written up                      in the quartermaster's log. 1319 01:01:43,220 --> 01:01:45,390 It's written up                      in the officer                       of the deck's log. 1320 01:01:45,430 --> 01:01:48,930 And, uh--                            And he hemmed and hawed. 1321 01:01:48,980 --> 01:01:51,190 [Greenwald]                         And? 1322 01:01:51,230 --> 01:01:53,060 What happened next? 1323 01:01:53,110 --> 01:01:55,230 Finally, he said                     it wouldn't be                       the first time 1324 01:01:55,270 --> 01:01:58,190 that a rough log                    had been corrected                  and fixed up after the fact. 1325 01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,860 Did you remind him                  that the alteration of logs         is strictly forbidden? 1326 01:02:00,900 --> 01:02:03,450 Yes, I did.                          And he kind of laughed. 1327 01:02:03,490 --> 01:02:05,950 He said it was either that           or a court-martial                   for mutiny for me 1328 01:02:05,990 --> 01:02:08,790 and a black mark                     on his record which he felt          he did not deserve. 1329 01:02:08,830 --> 01:02:10,040 And what followed? 1330 01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:12,000 He begged and he pleaded. 1331 01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:16,630 And, uh, at one point he cried      and eventually got very angry 1332 01:02:16,670 --> 01:02:18,380 and he ordered me out                of his cabin. 1333 01:02:18,420 --> 01:02:20,720 That is when                         I sent the dispatch. 1334 01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:25,220 Then you had the opportunity,       less than 24 hours later, 1335 01:02:25,260 --> 01:02:28,930 to expunge this whole event         from the official records 1336 01:02:28,970 --> 01:02:31,940 with your captain's                 knowledge and approval. 1337 01:02:31,980 --> 01:02:33,600 Yes, sir. 1338 01:02:33,650 --> 01:02:36,770 Mr. Maryk,                          were you panicky at all             during the storm? 1339 01:02:36,820 --> 01:02:38,570 No, I was not. 1340 01:02:38,610 --> 01:02:42,610 Lieutenant, you are charged         with relieving                      your captain willfully, 1341 01:02:42,650 --> 01:02:47,450 without authority                   and without justifiable cause. 1342 01:02:47,490 --> 01:02:49,450 Did you relieve                     Commander Queeg willfully? 1343 01:02:49,500 --> 01:02:52,460 Yes.                                 I knew what I was doing. 1344 01:02:52,500 --> 01:02:54,750 Did you relieve him                 without authority? 1345 01:02:54,790 --> 01:02:57,630 No, my authority is Chapter 11      of Navy Regulations. 1346 01:02:57,670 --> 01:03:00,960 Did you relieve                     without justifiable cause?                           No. 1347 01:03:01,010 --> 01:03:03,510 My justifiable cause was            the captain's mental breakdown 1348 01:03:03,550 --> 01:03:05,550 at a time when the ship              was in danger. 1349 01:03:05,590 --> 01:03:08,470 Thank you.                           No further questions. 1350 01:03:10,100 --> 01:03:13,850 Mr. Maryk,                           this amazing interview 1351 01:03:13,890 --> 01:03:17,690 in which the captain offered        to falsify official records, 1352 01:03:17,730 --> 01:03:19,780 were there                           any witnesses to it? 1353 01:03:20,650 --> 01:03:22,820 We were alone in his cabin.         No. 1354 01:03:22,860 --> 01:03:25,860 This incident with the mines.       Did anyone else                     see these records? 1355 01:03:25,910 --> 01:03:27,990 Which, according to you,            indicated that the   Caine 1356 01:03:28,030 --> 01:03:29,950 had departed                        her assigned sweep formation? 1357 01:03:29,990 --> 01:03:32,830 Was there anything                   in the records                       of the ship's movements 1358 01:03:32,870 --> 01:03:35,420 that would verify                    that departure? 1359 01:03:35,460 --> 01:03:37,330 Well, about an hour                 after it happened, 1360 01:03:37,380 --> 01:03:40,090 the captain asked                   to see the chart,                   he took it to his cabin, 1361 01:03:40,130 --> 01:03:42,800 and when I got the log back,        there was no mention                of the incident. 1362 01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:46,260 Right. Then you have                 no corroboration                     of this story. 1363 01:03:46,300 --> 01:03:48,600 No.                                  [clears throat] 1364 01:03:48,640 -->

01:03:57,980 Throughout the ship                  or just among                        the officers? 1367 01:03:58,020 --> 01:03:59,360 Just among the officers. 1368 01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:01,730 You sure you didn't                  coin it yourself? 1369 01:04:01,780 --> 01:04:03,030 I didn't. 1370 01:04:03,900 --> 01:04:08,820 What kind of rating                  would you give yourself              for loyalty to your captain? 1371 01:04:08,870 --> 01:04:11,330 I'd say                             I was a loyal officer. 1372 01:04:12,290 --> 01:04:15,500 Did you issue                       a 72-hour liberty 1373 01:04:15,540 --> 01:04:18,580 to Petty Officer Stilwell           in December 1374 01:04:18,630 --> 01:04:21,670 against your captain's

Then you admit to                   a disloyal act 1378 01:04:27,630 --> 01:04:30,140 in your first days                  as executive officer. 1379 01:04:30,180 --> 01:04:31,600 Yes. 1380 01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:35,560 Mr. Maryk, where did you            get your schooling? 1381 01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:37,310 Public schools,                      San Francisco.                   Okay.

01:07:10,960 He talked to you                     out of trying to have                the captain relieved. 1441 01:07:11,010 --> 01:07:12,050 Yes. 1442 01:07:12,090 --> 01:07:14,050 And yet two weeks later, 1443 01:07:14,090 --> 01:07:17,300 despite the whole weight            of naval discipline, 1444 01:07:17,350 --> 01:07:20,470 despite the arguments                of the next officer                  in rank to you, 1445 01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:22,480 a superior intellect, 1446 01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:24,390 despite all this, 1447 01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:27,940 you went ahead                       and seized command                   of your ship? 1448 01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:31,070 I relieved Captain Queeg 1449 01:07:31,110 --> 01:07:32,990 because he definitely               seemed sick 1450 01:07:33,030 --> 01:07:35,410 on the morning                       of the cyclone. 1451 01:07:35,450 --> 01:07:38,700 You still believe                    that your diagnosis                  of Captain Queeg 1452 01:07:38,740 --> 01:07:40,790 is superior                          to the doctors'? 1453 01:07:40,830 --> 01:07:44,080 J-- O-Only about Queeg              on the morning                      of the cyclone. 1454 01:07:46,330 --> 01:07:48,090 No more questions. 1455 01:07:50,420 --> 01:07:51,960 No re-examination. 1456

 ruining his life 1469 01:08:43,850 --> 01:08:46,310 over one panicky mistake, 1470 01:08:46,350 --> 01:08:50,560 particularly knowing                 that it was his ambition             to make the Navy a career. 1471 01:08:50,610 --> 01:08:53,650 I tried as hard as I could           to show him                          what a mistake he had made, 1472 01:08:53,690 --> 01:08:56,110 suggested                            he relinquish command                back to me 1473 01:08:56,150 --> 01:08:58,610 and offered to be                    as lenient as possible 1474 01:08:58,660 --> 01:09:00,450 when reporting                       what had happened. 1475 01:09:00,490 --> 01:09:03,330 You never offered                   not to report the incident?

 were they handwritten,               typed, or what? 1478 01:09:09,170 --> 01:09:10,960 It wouldn't have                     made a difference. 1479 01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:13,880 Were they handwritten,              Commander?                                   Well, probably. 1480 01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:16,090 Quartermasters log, OOD. 1481 01:09:16,130 --> 01:09:18,220 Rough logs                          are usually handwritten. 1482 01:09:18,260 --> 01:09:21,590 I can't imagine                     that the yeoman had time            to type out smooth logs, 1483 01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:23,430 given all the excitement. 1484 01:09:23,470 --> 01:09:26,140 Did you offer                        to alter the logs                    and not report the incident? 1485 01:09:26,180 --> 01:09:28,430 No, I did not.                      Alterations are not permitted. 1486 01:09:28,480 --> 01:09:30,520 Lieutenant Maryk                     testified under oath,

01:09:39,910 --> 01:09:41,530 and make no report. 1491 01:09:41,570 --> 01:09:43,240 Well, that's just                   not the truth. 1492 01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:45,660 There isn't any truth                in it at all? 1493 01:09:45,700 --> 01:09:48,750 It's a complete distortion          of what I've said.                  My version is the exact truth. 1494 01:09:48,790 --> 01:09:51,710 You deny the proposal                to alter the logs                    and hush up the story. 1495 01:09:51,750 --> 01:09:53,670 Yes. I deny it completely. 1496 01:09:53,710 --> 01:09:56,500

01:11:03,240 Well, he was the boat officer.      He was responsible for loading. 1521 01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:06,620 He issued foolish,                   contradictory orders                 that rattled the men. 1522 01:11:06,660 --> 01:11:08,700 They dropped the crate               into the water and it sank. 1523 01:11:08,740 --> 01:11:11,910 A wooden crate,                     full of clothes, sank. 1524 01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:14,290 It had other things in it. 1525 01:11:14,330 --> 01:11:16,580 Souvenir coral rocks,               for example.                                             [chuckles] 1526 01:11:16,630 --> 01:11:20,460 Commander, wasn't the--              the crate entirely full              of bottles of booze? 1527 01:11:20,510 --> 01:11:22,630 Certainly not. 1528 01:11:22,670 --> 01:11:26,800 Lieutenant Keith testified           that he paid you $1,000              for a crate full of liquor. 1529 01:11:26,850 --> 01:11:30,430 Well, you'll hear a lot of          strange distortions from Keith.     A-And from Maryk. 1530 01:11:30,470 --> 01:11:33,810 They're the two culprits here.      They're apt to make all kinds       of strange statements. 1531 01:11:33,850 --> 01:11:35,600 You make this crate                  yourself? 1532 01:11:35,650 --> 01:11:38,150 No, a man                           from the engine room did.                            What's his name? 1533 01:11:38,190 --> 01:11:40,230 I don't recall. It'll be            in the personnel records. 1534 01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:43,070 He's been gone from the ship        for quite some time.                         Okay, where is he now? 1535 01:11:43,950 --> 01:11:45,740 Uh, I-I don't know. 1536 01:11:45,780 --> 01:11:49,160 Because you don't know              what his name is?                                    No. 1537 01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:54,210 Was it Engineman Second Class       Otis F. Langhorn, sir? 1538 01:11:54,250 --> 01:11:56,540 L... Langhorn? 1539 01:11:56,580 --> 01:11:57,920 Yes. 1540 01:11:58,540 --> 01:11:59,790 Langhorn, yeah. 1541 01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:02,010 Well, th-that                        sounds about right. 1542 01:12:02,050 --> 01:12:06,930 There's an Otis F. Langhorn,        engineman first class,              in transit right now. 1543 01:12:06,970 --> 01:12:09,600 Defense has arranged to             subpoena him if necessary. 1544 01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:11,810 Are you sure                         it's the same one? 1545 01:12:11,850 --> 01:12:14,890 Well, it says 20 months             aboard the   Caine.                   It's got your signature upon it. 1546 01:12:14,930 --> 01:12:16,770 Would it be useful                  to have him called, sir? 1547 01:12:16,810 --> 01:12:19,900 Objection                            to this entire irrelevancy           about the crate 1548 01:12:19,940 --> 01:12:22,030 and request it be stricken          from the record. 1549 01:12:22,070 --> 01:12:24,190 The witness's credibility           is being established. 1550 01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:27,780 I put it to the court, sir,         that nothing could be               more relevant to this trial. 1551 01:12:28,740 --> 01:12:30,200 Overruled. 1552 01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:32,620 Court stenographer                   will repeat the question. 1553 01:12:32,660 --> 01:12:35,540 [stenographer]                       "Would it be useful to               have him subpoenaed, sir?" 1554 01:12:35,580 --> 01:12:39,210 Well, the real question is,         which crate                         did Langhorn nail up? 1555 01:12:39,250 --> 01:12:41,500 I-I now recall                      having two crates. 1556 01:12:41,540 --> 01:12:45,470 Oh, well,                           this is new information             not mentioned by Keith. 1557 01:12:45,510 --> 01:12:47,630 Did Langhorn nail up                both crates, sir? 1558 01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:51,510 I-I can't-- I can't recall          if I had two crates                 on th-that occasion 1559 01:12:51,550 --> 01:12:54,060 or two crates                       on two separate occasions. 1560 01:12:54,100 --> 01:12:58,400 It's been a long time               and I've had a strenuous year       of command from ports of storm. 1561 01:12:58,440 --> 01:13:00,900 I-- I just--                        I can't be clear. 1562 01:13:00,940 --> 01:13:04,320 Commander,                          there are a number of issues        in this trial 1563 01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:06,280 which turn on                       the issue of credibility 1564 01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:08,410 between yourself                    and other officers. 1565 01:13:08,450 --> 01:13:11,160 If you wish,                        I can request a quick               little five-minute recess 1566 01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:14,450 while you clear your mind           as best you can about               the matter of this crate. 1567 01:13:14,490 --> 01:13:17,540 No, no, that won't be necessary.   Just give me some time to think. 1568 01:13:17,580 --> 01:13:19,420 Please.                                      Please. 1569 01:13:22,170 --> 01:13:23,750 Uh... 1570 01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:26,460

                                I misspoke. 1574 01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:40,190 Uh, San Diego, 2014,                I lost a crate                      in similar circumstances. 1575 01:13:40,230 --> 01:13:42,230 That was the crate                  with the clothes in it 1576 01:13:42,270 --> 01:13:46,030 and the crate that Keith lost       did contain liquor. 1577 01:13:46,070 --> 01:13:49,110 Entirely full of liquor.                         Well, I suppose so. 1578 01:13:49,150 --> 01:13:51,910 You transported this                on your ship. 1579 01:13:51,950 --> 01:13:53,370 You are aware of                    Navy Regulations, sir. 1580 01:13:53,410 --> 01:13:55,450 Of course I'm aware                  of regulations. 1581 01:13:55,490 --> 01:13:57,620 Th-The crate was sealed              before I got under way. 1582 01:13:57,660 --> 01:13:59,790 I gave it                            the same locked stowage              that I did 1583 01:13:59,830 --> 01:14:02,290 the medicinal brandy,                three years' steady duty. 1584 01:14:02,330 --> 01:14:07,130 I gave myself this leeway            as the captain of the   Caine,        which was a common practice. 1585 01:14:07,170 --> 01:14:11,680 I do believe that rank               has its privileges,                  as they say, and, well, uh-- 1586 01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:14,600 I-I didn't mean to                  conceal it from the court. 1587 01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:16,470 It's not something                  I'm ashamed of. 1588 01:14:16,510 --> 01:14:19,020 I just got the two crates           mixed up in my mind. 1589 01:14:19,060 --> 01:14:20,600 Lieutenant Maryk                     also testified, sir, 1590 01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:22,480 that you gave                        all the orders                       to the boat crew 1591 01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:24,270 which resulted                       in the loss of the crate. 1592 01:14:24,310 --> 01:14:26,440 [chuckles]                          Well, that's a lie. 1593 01:14:26,480 --> 01:14:29,190 And that you refused                to sign his leave papers            until he paid you for that loss. 1594 01:14:29,240 --> 01:14:31,320 [Queeg]                              And that is another lie. 1595 01:14:32,780 --> 01:14:35,910 Commander, during the period        when the   Caine                       was sweeping for mines 1596 01:14:35,950 --> 01:14:37,660 off the Straits of Hormuz, 1597 01:14:37,700 --> 01:14:39,910 did you steam over                  and cut your own tow line? 1598 01:14:39,950 --> 01:14:41,410 [Challee]                            Objection! 1599 01:14:41,460 --> 01:14:43,750 This tow line business               is the last straw. 1600 01:14:43,790 --> 01:14:46,000 The tactics                          of the defense counsel               are an outrage 1601 01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:47,840 on the dignity                       of these proceedings. 1602 01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,670 He is systematically                 turning this trial 1603 01:14:49,710 --> 01:14:51,760 into a court-martial                 of Commander Queeg. 1604 01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:53,340 [Greenwald]                          Please the court, 1605 01:14:53,380 --> 01:14:55,350 the trial counsel believes          she has a prima facie case 1606 01:14:55,390 --> 01:14:57,970 based on the report                  of two psychiatrists. 1607 01:14:58,010 --> 01:14:59,640 Now, I believe it is                up to the court 1608 01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:02,190 and not                              two shore-bound doctors,            however brilliant, 1609 01:15:02,230 --> 01:15:05,440 to decide whether                    the captain of the   Caine             was mentally well enough 1610 01:15:05,480 --> 01:15:10,070 to retain his self-control          and his post during a cyclone. 1611 01:15:10,110 --> 01:15:12,070 The objection is overruled. 1612 01:15:12,110 --> 01:15:14,070 The witness                          will answer the question. 1613 01:15:14,110 --> 01:15:18,030 Okay, well, here's the story        on that particular slander. 1614 01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:20,830 Stilwell                            was a-a-at the helm, 1615 01:15:20,870 --> 01:15:23,290 a dreamy, unreliable man 1616 01:15:23,330 --> 01:15:26,830 who failed to warn me               that we were coming around          the full 360 degrees. 1617 01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:30,130 I was the one who recognized        what was happening,                 reversed course immediately. 1618 01:15:30,170 --> 01:15:34,090 We did not go over the tow line.   I-It parted in the tight turn. 1619 01:15:34,130 --> 01:15:37,430 Weren't you reprimanding            a petty officer named Urban         at length 1620 01:15:37,470 --> 01:15:42,520 for having his shirttail out        while your ship was                 turning 360 degrees, sir? 1621 01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:44,560 Who told you that?                   Keith again?            Answer the question, please. 1622 01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:46,020 It's a malicious lie,                of course. 1623 01:15:46,060 --> 01:15:48,060 Was Urban on the bridge?                         Yes. 1624 01:15:48,110 --> 01:15:50,860 Was his shirttail out?                   Yes, and I reprimanded him.          Took all of two seconds. 1625 01:15:50,900 --> 01:15:52,860 It's not like I dwell                on these sort of things. 1626 01:15:52,900 --> 01:15:54,990 But now that you've brought          the shirttail thing up, 1627 01:15:55,030 --> 01:15:58,910 I'd like to point out                that Ensign Keith,                   a department head, 1628 01:15:58,950 --> 01:16:01,580 was responsible                      for enforcing                        uniform regulations 1629 01:16:01,620 --> 01:16:03,870 and completely screwed               the whole job up. 1630 01:16:03,910 --> 01:16:06,870 When I took over the ship,           it was like some                     third-world navy, 1631 01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:09,920 and I bored down on Keith            to look out for things               like shirttails. 1632 01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:13,300 And, well, maybe                     that's one of the reasons            that he hates me so much 1633 01:16:13,340 --> 01:16:18,430 and insists on circulating           this nonsense about me               cutting the tow line. 1634 01:16:18,470 --> 01:16:21,220 Did you drop a yellow dye marker   off the Straits of Hormuz? 1635 01:16:21,260 --> 01:16:23,470 No, I, uh-- Maybe.                   I-I don't recall. 1636 01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:25,600 Do you recall                       what your first mission was? 1637 01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:29,770 Well, uh, to detect                  and destroy mines                    in the Straits of Hormuz. 1638 01:16:29,810 --> 01:16:31,900 And did you fulfill                 that mission?                                            Yes. 1639 01:16:31,940 --> 01:16:34,360 So why did you drop                  the dye marker?         I'm not saying that I did. 1640 01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:37,360 But if I had,                       it would have been to mark          a mine that we had detected. 1641 01:16:37,410 --> 01:16:41,410 Commander,                           didn't you drop the marker           and retire at high speed, 1642 01:16:41,450 --> 01:16:44,250 taking the   Caine                     out of its assigned                  sweep pattern? 1643 01:16:44,290 --> 01:16:48,630 Now, didn't you do this             to avoid contact with               a dangerous underwater mine 1644 01:16:48,670 --> 01:16:50,380 and leave it                         for another ship                    to handle? 1645 01:16:50,420 --> 01:16:52,460 The question is abusive             and flagrantly leading. 1646 01:16:52,500 --> 01:16:56,380 I withdraw my last question         on account of                       the witness's dim memory. 1647 01:16:56,420 --> 01:16:58,550 I'll proceed                        to more recent events. 1648 01:16:58,590 --> 01:17:01,100 [officer] Court desires              to question the witness. 1649 01:17:01,140 --> 01:17:02,970 Commander Queeg, 1650 01:17:03,010 --> 01:17:05,560 in view of the implications         in this line of testimony, 1651 01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:07,980 I urge you                          to search your memory               for correct answers. 1652 01:17:08,020 --> 01:17:10,360 Well, I certainly                    am trying, sir. 1653 01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:13,940 These are very fine points,         and I've had a number of arduous   missions since that storm. 1654 01:17:13,980 --> 01:17:17,070 And th-then there's,                well, all of this business. 1655 01:17:17,110 --> 01:17:18,740 I appreciate that. 1656 01:17:18,780 --> 01:17:21,570 But it will facilitate justice      if you can remember enough 1657 01:17:21,620 --> 01:17:24,330 to give a few definite answers      on points of fact. 1658 01:17:24,370 --> 01:17:29,040 First of all, did you depart        your assigned sector                due to equipment problems? 1659 01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:33,500 Yes. Yes.                           Okay-- Okay, I-I remember. 1660 01:17:33,540 --> 01:17:35,800 Yes,                                that was the case here. 1661 01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:39,840 So you departed the pattern         rather than try to repair           or troubleshoot the equipment? 1662 01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:43,010 But... [scoffs]                     ...an active mine                   had been detected. 1663 01:17:43,050 --> 01:17:47,100 Is that why you dropped             the dye marker?                     There was a safety factor. 1664 01:17:47,140 --> 01:17:51,270 Uh, it didn't make sense to me      to try and detonate mines           using defective gear. 1665 01:17:51,310 --> 01:17:54,860 But I wanted every vessel           in the area to know exactly         where that mine was, 1666 01:17:54,900 --> 01:17:56,860 s-so I marked it. 1667 01:17:56,900 --> 01:17:59,360 Now, if I erred on the side         of being overcautious,              well, I-I'm sorry. 1668 01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:03,160 But then again, sir,                I don't think you can err           on the side of safety. 1669 01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:05,080 Did you have the conn?                                   Well, no. 1670 01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:07,750 A-As I recall,                       Maryk was on the conn. 1671 01:18:07,790 --> 01:18:11,210 And I also recall                   warning him not to stray            too far out of formation. 1672 01:18:11,250 --> 01:18:16,800 But we did need to leave room       for other ships to come in          and deal with that mine. 1673 01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:19,090 Well, how much room?                I don't remember exactly. 1674 01:18:19,130 --> 01:18:22,760 I-I just know that                  we had strayed outside              of our assigned sector, 1675 01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:26,060 and then, well,                     I pulled him aside                  and admonished him. 1676 01:18:26,100 --> 01:18:29,230 Didn't you direct him               to return to station                immediately? 1677 01:18:29,270 --> 01:18:30,850 Sir, everything                      was happening very fast. 1678 01:18:30,890 --> 01:18:33,400 We had to mark the area             and then get out of there 1679 01:18:33,440 --> 01:18:36,360 and make room for other ships       to come into the area,              as I said. 1680 01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:39,110 These are your factual              recollections, Commander? 1681 01:18:39,150 --> 01:18:41,400 Those are the facts, sir. 1682 01:18:43,070 --> 01:18:44,450 Resume your examination. 1683 01:18:44,490 --> 01:18:46,120 Commander,                          did you make it a practice 1684 01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:48,830 to retire to your room              during minesweeping operations? 1685 01:18:48,870 --> 01:18:51,750 Well, that's                         an insulting question.               The answer is no. 1686 01:18:51,790 --> 01:18:54,130 I had to be on                       every side of that bridge            at all times. 1687 01:18:54,170 --> 01:18:59,050 I-I had Maryk as a navigator        and Keith as an officer of          the deck at general quarters. 1688 01:18:59,090 --> 01:19:01,760 Invariably, they'd squirrel          over to the same side                of the bridge 1689 01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:05,180 and I'd have to be captain,         navigator and officer of            the deck all rolled up into one. 1690 01:19:05,220 --> 01:19:07,970 That's why I had to go               from one side of the bridge          to the other all the time. 1691 01:19:08,010 --> 01:19:10,180 And that's the truth. 1692 01:19:10,220 --> 01:19:12,770 I don't care how many damn lies     have been told about me             in this courtroom. 1693 01:19:12,810 --> 01:19:14,980 The court                            will question the witness. 1694 01:19:15,020 --> 01:19:18,860 Sir, the witness                    is obviously and understandably     agitated by this ordeal 1695 01:19:18,900 --> 01:19:21,610 and I request a recess               to give him                          a breathing space. 1696 01:19:21,650 --> 01:19:23,910 I'm not agitated                     in the least. 1697 01:19:23,950 --> 01:19:26,120 I'm glad to answer                   any and all questions. 1698 01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:28,080 [marbles clacking] 1699 01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:31,120 In fact,                            I-I demand the opportunity          to set the record straight 1700 01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:35,670 for any derogatory statements       made about me in testimony          that's gone before. 1701 01:19:35,710 --> 01:19:39,250 I didn't make a single mistake      in the 15 months                    I was aboard the   Caine, 1702 01:19:39,300 --> 01:19:41,210 and I-I can prove it. 1703 01:19:41,260 --> 01:19:43,550 I've had a spotless record          up until now 1704 01:19:43,590 --> 01:19:45,680 and I don't want it                  being discredited 1705 01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:49,470 by these lies and distortions       told by these disloyal officers. 1706 01:19:49,510 --> 01:19:52,680 Commander,                           would you like a recess? 1707 01:19:52,730 --> 01:19:53,770 Certainly not. 1708 01:19:53,810 --> 01:19:56,690 In fact, if I had                   any say in this, 1709 01:19:56,730 --> 01:19:58,980 I would ask                         there be no recess. 1710 01:19:59,020 --> 01:20:02,150 [marbles continue clacking]                              [officer]                            Very well. 1711 01:20:03,070 --> 01:20:05,200 I simply want to ask, 1712 01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:08,570 if the performance                  of these two officers               was so unspeakably bad, 1713 01:20:08,620 --> 01:20:10,410 why did you tolerate it? 1714 01:20:10,450 --> 01:20:13,500 Why didn't you beach them           or rotate them                      out of your command? 1715 01:20:15,870 --> 01:20:20,000 Well, this is gonna sound           strange to you, sir, but, 1716 01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:24,800 well, the truth is                  I'm-I'm a softhearted man 1717 01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:26,840 and not many people                 know that. 1718 01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:29,510 But I wanted to keep                 them under-- under eye 1719 01:20:29,550 --> 01:20:32,640 to try and train them up,            make them good officers. 1720 01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:36,690 L-Last thing I wanted to do         was wreck their careers. 1721 01:20:36,730 --> 01:20:41,270 A concern they certainly            didn't share for me.                E-Either one of them. 1722 01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:46,530 Commander, on the morning           of the 18th of December, 1723 01:20:46,570 --> 01:20:48,410 the exact moment                    you were relieved of command, 1724 01:20:48,450 --> 01:20:50,030 was the   Caine                       in the last extremity? 1725 01:20:50,070 --> 01:20:52,830 Certainly not.              Was it in grave danger              at that moment? 1726 01:20:52,870 --> 01:20:55,540 Absolutely not.                      I was in complete control            of the ship. 1727 01:20:55,580 --> 01:20:58,040 And did you inform                  any of your other officers          of your intention 1728 01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:00,380 to change course,                    come north at ten o'clock, 1729 01:21:00,420 --> 01:21:02,880 15 minutes                           after Lieutenant Maryk               relieved you of command? 1730 01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:05,590 Yes, yes.                            I made that statement                and that was my intention. 1731 01:21:05,630 --> 01:21:09,470 Then Lieutenant Maryk's decision   to come north was not               a panicky, irrational blunder. 1732 01:21:09,510 --> 01:21:11,970 His panicky blunder                  was relieving me. 1733 01:21:12,010 --> 01:21:14,560 I kept him from making               any disastrous mistakes              thereafter. 1734 01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:16,730 I wasn't trying                      to vindicate myself. 1735 01:21:16,770 --> 01:21:20,350 Commander, have you seen            Lieutenant Maryk's medical log? 1736 01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:22,400 Yes. [chuckles] 1737 01:21:22,440 --> 01:21:26,030 Yes, I've read                       that interesting document.           Yes, sir, I have. 1738 01:21:26,070 --> 01:21:29,070 Biggest conglomeration               of lies and distortions              and half-truths 1739 01:21:29,110 --> 01:21:30,660 I've ever seen. 1740 01:21:30,700 --> 01:21:32,370 But I'm extremely glad               that you've asked 1741 01:21:32,410 --> 01:21:35,200 'cause I wanna                       get my side of it                    all on the record. 1742 01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:36,660 Please. 1743 01:21:36,700 --> 01:21:39,080 Please give us your version         of any comments 1744 01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:41,080 factually related                   to episodes in the log. 1745 01:21:41,130 --> 01:21:43,750 Okay, well,                          starting right with                  that strawberry business. 1746 01:21:43,790 --> 01:21:45,920 The real truth                       is that I was betrayed, 1747 01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:48,050 d-double-crossed                     by my executive officer 1748 01:21:48,090 --> 01:21:50,640 and this precious gentleman,        Mr. Keith, 1749 01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:52,600 who between them                     corrupted my wardroom 1750 01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:54,640 so I was one man                     against the whole ship. 1751 01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:56,600 No support                           from my officers, okay? 1752 01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:59,060 [chuckles] Now, you take            that strawberry business. 1753 01:21:59,100 --> 01:22:03,480 Why, if that wasn't a case of       outright conspiracy to protect      a malefactor from justice. 1754 01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:05,730 Maryk carefully leaves out          the little fact 1755 01:22:05,780 --> 01:22:09,240 that I had conclusively proved      by a process of elimination 1756 01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:11,110 that someone                        had a key to the fridge. 1757 01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:14,620 Now, he says the messmen            ate the strawberries. 1758 01:22:14,660 --> 01:22:16,620 But if I wanted                      to take the trouble, 1759 01:22:16,660 --> 01:22:19,500 I could prove to this court         categorically                       that they couldn't have. 1760 01:22:19,540 --> 01:22:21,460 I-It's the water business           all over again. 1761 01:22:21,500 --> 01:22:24,460 Like when the crew                  was taking showers                  seven times a day 1762 01:22:24,500 --> 01:22:28,260 and I tried to initiate             the simplest principles             of water conservation. 1763 01:22:28,300 --> 01:22:30,800 But, oh, no, Mr. Maryk,             the hero of the crew, 1764 01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:33,390 wanted to go right on               coddling them. 1765 01:22:33,430 --> 01:22:36,140 Well, you take                      that coffee business. 1766 01:22:36,180 --> 01:22:37,970 Well-- No. 1767 01:22:38,020 --> 01:22:39,810 [laughs]                            No. Excuse me. 1768 01:22:39,850 --> 01:22:42,270 Sorry, sir. 1769 01:22:42,310 --> 01:22:44,980 Strawberry thing first.             Okay. 1770 01:22:46,270 --> 01:22:48,480 Everything hinged                   on a thorough search                for the key, 1771 01:22:48,530 --> 01:22:52,150 and that's when Maryk               and, as usual, with help            from Mr. Keith, fudged it. 1772 01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:54,870 Went through                        a lot of phony motions,             didn't prove anything. 1773 01:22:54,910 --> 01:22:57,540 Like thinking                       that the burning out                of the coffee makers, 1774 01:22:57,580 --> 01:22:59,450 which were government property, 1775 01:22:59,500 --> 01:23:01,460 was some kind of joke. 1776 01:23:01,500 --> 01:23:04,000 And that was                        the attitude of everybody           from Maryk on down. 1777 01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:06,590 No-- No sense                       of responsibility. 1778 01:23:06,630 --> 01:23:09,260 And I kept emphasizing              over and over 1779 01:23:09,300 --> 01:23:12,680 that all of these things            were gonna have to be               accounted for. 1780 01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:14,840 [groans]                            It was a constant battle. 1781 01:23:14,890 --> 01:23:16,600 Always--                            Always the same thing. 1782 01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:19,390 Maryk and Keith                     undermining my authority,           always arguing. 1783 01:23:19,430 --> 01:23:23,850 Now, I wanted--                     I wanted to train Keith up          to be a good officer, 1784 01:23:23,890 --> 01:23:26,520 but I was stabbed                   in the back by-- 1785 01:23:29,900 --> 01:23:31,440 Well... 1786 01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:34,030 [chuckles] 1787 01:23:34,070 --> 01:23:39,040 Well, I-- I think I've covered      that strawberry business. 1788 01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:41,160 And, oh, yes,                       the mess account business. 1789 01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:44,830 Well, I had to                      watch them like a hawk,             and believe me, I did. 1790 01:23:44,870 --> 01:23:47,380 [chuckles] Didn't sneak             any fast ones by me. 1791 01:23:47,420 --> 01:23:49,380 It wasn't for                        a lack of trying. 1792 01:23:49,420 --> 01:23:52,010 Instead of paying attention         to their accounts                   and their inventories, 1793 01:23:52,050 --> 01:23:53,880 which I would have to go            over again and again-- 1794 01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:56,720 Always a few pennies short          or a couple dollars over. 1795 01:23:56,760 --> 01:24:01,600 But what do they care about         keeping accurate records?           Let the captain worry about it. 1796 01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:03,890 Well, by God, I did. 1797 01:24:03,930 --> 01:24:08,610 I-I defy anyone to find             a single wardroom mess statement   or ship service inventory 1798 01:24:08,650 --> 01:24:11,190 filed aboard the USS   Caine          while I was captain 1799 01:24:11,230 --> 01:24:13,650 that had a mistake                  of a single, solitary cent. 1800 01:24:13,690 --> 01:24:18,160 And by that, I mean, I defy         a certified public accountant       to do it. Okay? 1801 01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:19,830 Well, what else? 1802 01:24:19,870 --> 01:24:21,990 [muttering]                         There's so much bullshit 1803 01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:25,040 in that precious log                 of Mr. Maryk's. 1804 01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:28,540 Oh, yes! [laughs]                   Th-The movie business. 1805 01:24:28,580

The movie operator, who had         a disrespectful manner anyways, 1808 01:24:37,380 --> 01:24:41,430 started the movie                   without waiting for the arrival     of the commanding officer. 1809 01:24:41,470 --> 01:24:43,930 Out of that whole ship's crew,      officers and men, 1810 01:24:43,970 --> 01:24:48,770 did one person stand up             and call a halt or even notice      that the captain wasn't present? 1811 01:24:48,810 --> 01:24:51,940 I missed those movies               more than they did. 1812 01:24:52,980 --> 01:24:55,780 I banned them,                      and, by God, I'd do it again. 1813 01:24:55,820 --> 01:24:59,370 Wh-What was I supposed to do,       start issuing them all              letters of commendation 1814 01:24:59,410 --> 01:25:02,950 for this gratuitous insult          to the commanding officer? 1815 01:25:02,990 --> 01:25:04,120 [laughs] 1816 01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:06,620 It's not like                       I took it personal. 1817 01:25:06,660 --> 01:25:10,130 Uh, it's the principle.             The principle of respect            for the command. 1818 01:25:10,170 --> 01:25:13,960 That principle was dead             when I came aboard that ship        and I brought it to life. 1819 01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:16,010 And I nagged and I bitched          and I hollered, 1820 01:25:16,050 --> 01:25:18,630 and, by God, I made it stick        while I was captain! 1821 01:25:20,180 --> 01:25:22,510 Uh, and as I-- as I say, 1822 01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:24,810 it wasn't                           just the coffee makers. 1823 01:25:24,850 --> 01:25:26,520 It was a matter of respect. 1824 01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:29,100 When I ask a sailor a question,     I want a straight answer. 1825 01:25:29,150 --> 01:25:31,360 Nobody's gonna get away             with this shifty evasion, 1826 01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:34,440 if I have to hold                   a court of inquiry                  for a week. 1827 01:25:34,480 --> 01:25:37,240 What do I care                      about strawberries?                 It's a question of principle. 1828 01:25:37,280 --> 01:25:39,200 Stealing is stealing. 1829 01:25:39,780 --> 01:25:41,660 And on my ship-- 1830 01:25:45,700 --> 01:25:49,670 Well, it's not like we got          a lot of nice treats anyway. 1831 01:25:49,710 --> 01:25:53,840 Uh... if we ever did                get something pleasant              once in a blue moon, 1832 01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:56,010 like--                              like strawberries, well, 1833 01:25:56,050 --> 01:25:59,090 it was outrageous that              I couldn't have a second helping   if I felt like it. 1834 01:25:59,130 --> 01:26:01,510 I wasn't gonna let them             get away with it, and I didn't. 1835 01:26:01,550 --> 01:26:05,510 By God, I never                     let anything like that              happen on that ship again! 1836 01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:16,360 [mutters] 1837 01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:18,240 As I say, I-- 1838 01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:19,490 Okay, um... 1839 01:26:20,400 -->

If you ask me                        specific questions,                  I'll-- 1842 01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:33,250 I'll tackle those                    one by one by one. 1843 01:26:34,460 --> 01:26:36,880 That won't be necessary, sir. 1844 01:26:38,010 --> 01:26:40,010 That was very thorough. 1845 01:26:41,050 --> 01:26:42,550 Thank you. 1846 01:26:47,350 --> 01:26:51,230 I draw

I have nothing to refute. 1889 01:30:05,550 --> 01:30:06,920 It's no case at all. 1890 01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:08,550 It has nothing to do 1891 01:30:08,590 --> 01:30:11,260 with the charge                      or the specification. 1892 01:30:13,050 --> 01:30:16,430 The defense counsel's                very first question                  in this trial 1893 01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:20,520 was, "Commander, have you           ever heard the expression, 1894 01:30:20,560 --> 01:30:22,940 Old Yellowstain?" 1895 01:30:22,980 --> 01:30:27,070 That was the key                     to his entire strategy, 1896 01:30:27,110 --> 01:30:30,030 which was simply to twist            the proceedings around 1897 01:30:30,070 --> 01:30:34,280 so that the accused                  would become not Maryk,              but Commander Queeg. 1898 01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:38,040 He has dragged out                   every possible vicious 1899 01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:41,960 and malicious criticism              of the commander                     from the other witnesses 1900 01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:46,750 and forced Captain Queeg            to defend himself against them      in open court, 1901 01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:48,630 on the spur of the moment, 1902 01:30:48,670 --> 01:30:50,590 without advice of counsel, 1903 01:30:50,630 --> 01:30:53,260 without any                          of the normal privileges             and safeguards 1904 01:30:53,300 --> 01:30:56,350 of an accused man                   under naval law. 1905 01:30:56,390 --> 01:30:59,810 Can this court possibly             endorse the precedent 1906 01:30:59,850 --> 01:31:04,610 that a captain who doesn't          please his underlings               can be deposed by them? 1907 01:31:04,650 --> 01:31:06,940 And then that the captain's         only recourse afterward 1908 01:31:06,980 --> 01:31:11,820 is to be placed                      at a witness stand                   in a general court-martial 1909 01:31:11,860 --> 01:31:13,990 to answer                            every petty gripe 1910 01:31:14,030 --> 01:31:16,280 and justify                          all his command decisions 1911 01:31:16,330 --> 01:31:20,750 to a hostile lawyer                  taking the part of                   his insubordinate inferiors? 1912 01:31:20,790 --> 01:31:24,670 Such a precedent is nothing         but a blank check for mutiny. 1913 01:31:24,710 --> 01:31:28,250 It is the absolute destruction      of the chain of command. 1914 01:31:31,010 --> 01:31:34,180 However,                             all this doesn't worry me. 1915 01:31:35,050 --> 01:31:37,010 I am confident 1916 01:31:37,050 --> 01:31:40,640 that this court                      hasn't been impressed                by such aggressive tactics. 1917 01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:43,100 I know that the court                is going to reject 1918 01:31:43,140 --> 01:31:45,350 this cynical play                    on its emotions, 1919 01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:50,190 this... insult                       to its intelligence, 1920 01:31:50,230 --> 01:31:53,400 and find the specification           proven by the facts. 1921 01:31:55,410 --> 01:31:57,410 I've only this to say. 1922 01:31:58,410 --> 01:32:00,700 Whatever the verdict                 on the accused, I-- 1923 01:32:01,790 --> 01:32:04,370 I formally recommend                that Defense Counsel Greenwald 1924 01:32:04,410 --> 01:32:06,210 be censured by this court 1925 01:32:06,250 --> 01:32:08,420 for conduct unbecoming               an officer of the Navy 1926 01:32:08,460 --> 01:32:11,590 and that this reprimand              be made part of his record. 1927 01:32:17,550 --> 01:32:20,600 Defense counsel.                     Closing argument? 1928 01:32:25,890 --> 01:32:27,230 Please the court, 1929 01:32:28,560 --> 01:32:32,820 I undertook                          the defense of the accused           very reluctantly 1930 01:32:32,860 --> 01:32:37,610 and only at the urging of           the judge advocate that no other   defense counsel was available. 1931 01:32:38,570 --> 01:32:40,410 I was reluctant 1932 01:32:40,450 --> 01:32:43,830 because I knew                       that the only possible               form of defense 1933 01:32:43,870 --> 01:32:47,830 was to prove                        the mental incompetence             of an officer of the Navy. 1934 01:32:47,870 --> 01:32:53,340 It has been                         the most unpleasant duty            I have ever had to perform. 1935 01:32:54,340 --> 01:32:57,380 However,                            once having undertaken it, 1936 01:32:57,430 --> 01:32:59,550 I have done my best                  to win an acquittal. 1937 01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:03,390 I thought this was my duty,         both as defense counsel             appointed by the Navy 1938 01:33:03,430 --> 01:33:06,230 and as a member of the bar. 1939 01:33:07,480 --> 01:33:09,310 Let me make one thing clear. 1940 01:33:09,350 --> 01:33:12,070 It is not the contention            of the defense 1941 01:33:12,110 --> 01:33:14,230 that Commander Queeg                is a coward 1942 01:33:14,280 --> 01:33:19,990 and that therefore,                 if he commits questionable acts     under intense fire, 1943 01:33:20,030 --> 01:33:22,910 the explanation                     must lie elsewhere. 1944 01:33:22,950 --> 01:33:26,580 The court saw                        Commander Queeg's bearing            on the stand. 1945 01:33:26,620 --> 01:33:30,080 The court can imagine                what his bearing                     must have been like 1946 01:33:30,130 --> 01:33:32,290 at the height                        of the storm. 1947 01:33:32,340 --> 01:33:34,210 And on that basis, 1948 01:33:35,260 --> 01:33:38,470 the court can decide                 the fate of the accused. 1949 01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:46,560 [exhales] 1950 01:33:47,640 --> 01:33:49,900 Before recessing, 1951 01:33:49,940 --> 01:33:52,480 the court will rule                  on the recommendation                to censure you. 1952 01:33:56,690 --> 01:33:58,150 Yes, sir. 1953 01:34:00,660 --> 01:34:04,620 This has been a strange

 one other attempted mutiny. 1956 01:34:13,380 --> 01:34:16,800 You have conducted your case        with striking ingenuity. 1957 01:34:18,590 --> 01:34:20,340 But your conduct                     has been puzzling 1958 01:34:20,380 --> 01:34:22,510 and it does raise questions. 1959 01:34:23,510 --> 01:34:25,760 Has your conduct here                been responsible, 1960 01:34:25,810 -->

01:34:36,400 must come                            from your own conscience. 1964 01:34:38,530 --> 01:34:42,360 Court finds defense counsel          has not been in contempt. 1965 01:34:42,410 -->
