Lieutenant, do you know what a code red is? Yes, I do. Have you ever ordered a code red?...
Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Kaffee:
Lieutenant, do you know what a code red is?
Lt. Kendrick:
Yes, I do.
Kaffee:
Have you ever ordered a code red?
Lt. Kendrick:
No, I have not.
Kaffee:
Lieutenant, did you order Dawson and two other men to make sure that Private Bell receive no food or drink except water for a period of seven days?
Lt. Kendrick:
That is a distortion of the truth, Lieutenant. Private Bell was placed on barracks restriction. He was given water and vitamin supplements, and I can assure you that at no time was his health in danger.
Kaffee:
[sarcastic]
I'm sure it was lovely for Private Bell. But you did order the barracks restriction, didn't you? You did order the denial of food.
Lt. Kendrick:
Yes, I did.
Kaffee:
Wouldn't this form of discipline be considered a code red?
Lt. Kendrick:
No.
Kaffee:
If I called the other 478 Marines from Guantanamo Bay to testify, would they consider it a code red?
Capt. Ross:
If it please the court, the witness can't possibly testify as to what 478 other men would say. Now, we object to this entire line of questioning as argumentative and irrelevant badgering of the witness.
Judge Randolph:
The government's objection is sustained, Lieutenant Kaffee, and I would remind you that you are now questioning a Marine officer with an impeccable service record.
Capt. Ross:
Thank you, Your Honor.
Transcript
00:00:02.029 --> 00:00:05.931
Keeping his barracks in disorder.
Falling back on a run.
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.491
- Have you ever received a Code Red?
- Yes, sir.
00:00:08.569 --> 00:00:12.013
We were doing seven-man assault drills,
and my weapon slipped.
00:00:12.206 --> 00:00:15.505
It was 'cause it was over 100 degrees,
and my palms were sweaty...
00:00:15.576 --> 00:00:19.239
and I'd forgotten to use the resin
like we were taught.
00:00:19.313 --> 00:00:20.837
What happened?
00:00:20.915 --> 00:00:23.975
That night, the guys in my squad
threw a blanket over me...
00:00:24.998 --> 00:00:26.884
took turns punching me in the arm
for five minutes...
00:00:26.954 --> 00:00:29.548
then they poured glue on my hands.
00:00:29.624 --> 00:00:33.321
And it worked too, 'cause
I ain't never dropped my weapon since.
00:00:34.795 --> 00:00:37.855
Was Private Santiago ever late
for platoon meetings?
00:00:37.932 --> 00:00:39.999
Yes, sir.
00:00:39.166 --> 00:00:41.532
- Was his barracks ever in disorder?
- Yes, sir.
00:00:41.602 --> 00:00:43.934
- Did he ever fall back on a run?
- All the time, sir.
00:00:44.026 --> 00:00:49.375
Did he ever, prior to the night
of September 6, receive a Code Red?
00:00:49.443 --> 00:00:50.933
No, sir.
00:00:51.012 --> 00:00:53.998
- Never?
- No, sir.
00:00:54.749 --> 00:00:57.115
You got a Code Red
'cause your palms were sweaty.
00:00:57.184 --> 00:01:01.245
Why didn't Santiago,
this burden to his unit, ever get one?
00:01:02.723 --> 00:01:04.748
Dawson wouldn't allow it, sir.
00:01:05.086 --> 00:01:07.919
Dawson wouldn't allow it.
00:01:07.995 --> 00:01:11.059
The guys talked tough about Santiago,
but they wouldn't go near him.
00:01:11.666 --> 00:01:13.999
They were too afraid of Dawson.
00:01:13.001 --> 00:01:16.136
Object.
The witness is speculating.
00:01:16.203 --> 00:01:19.866
I'll rephrase. Jeffrey, did you ever
want to give Santiago a Code Red?
00:01:19.094 --> 00:01:21.908
- Yes, sir.
- Why didn't you?
00:01:21.976 --> 00:01:24.774
'Cause Dawson would kick my butt, sir.
00:01:24.845 --> 00:01:28.001
Good enough. Captain Ross
is gonna ask you some questions now.
00:01:30.151 --> 00:01:32.994
Corporal Barnes...
00:01:33.554 --> 00:01:36.002
I hold here the Marine Outline
for Recruit Training.
00:01:36.123 --> 00:01:37.001
- Are you familiar with this book?
- Yes, sir.
00:01:37.958 --> 00:01:39.619
- Have you read it?
- Yes, sir.
00:01:39.694 --> 00:01:42.999
Would you turn to the chapter
that deals with Code Reds, please?
00:01:45.566 --> 00:01:49.127
Just flip to the page of the book
that discusses Code Reds.
00:01:51.405 --> 00:01:54.863
Well, you see, sir, Code Red
is a term that we use.
00:01:54.999 --> 00:01:56.637
Just down in Gitmo...
00:01:56.711 --> 00:01:58.804
We're in luck, then.
00:02:02.116 --> 00:02:06.553
Standard Operating Procedure, Rifle
Security Company, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
00:02:06.062 --> 00:02:10.613
I assume we'll find the term Code Red
and its definition in that book.
00:02:10.691 --> 00:02:12.001
No, sir.
00:02:12.626 --> 00:02:14.423
Corporal Barnes, I'm a Marine.
00:02:14.495 --> 00:02:18.625
Is there no book, no manual or pamphlet,
no set of orders or regulations...
00:02:18.001 --> 00:02:23.227
that lets me know that as a Marine one
of my duties is to perform Code Reds?
00:02:23.304 --> 00:02:26.001
No, sir.
No book, sir.
00:02:26.999 --> 00:02:28.001
No further questions.
00:02:30.001 --> 00:02:33.001
Corporal, would you turn
to the page in this book...
00:02:33.447 --> 00:02:35.001
that says where the mess hall is, please?
00:02:35.916 --> 00:02:39.909
Lieutenant Kaffee,
that's not in the book, sir.
00:02:40.554 --> 00:02:43.489
You mean to say in all your time
at Gitmo you've never had a meal?
00:02:43.999 --> 00:02:46.072
No, sir.
Three squares a day, sir.
00:02:47.999 --> 00:02:49.012
I don't understand.
00:02:49.196 --> 00:02:52.256
How did you know where the mess hall was
if it's not in this book?
00:02:54.869 --> 00:02:58.011
Well, I guess I just followed the crowd
at chow time, sir.
00:02:59.002 --> 00:03:01.999
No more questions.
00:03:01.001 --> 00:03:04.999
- Corporal Barnes, you may step down.
- Thank you, sir.
00:03:10.999 --> 00:03:13.002
7:00 tonight we'll do
a final Kendrick review.
00:03:13.012 --> 00:03:16.987
I want to slam-dunk this guy.
00:03:27.999 --> 00:03:29.001
Hey, Luther.
00:03:29.001 --> 00:03:31.999
Admiral, how's the big case going?
