Capt. Ross:
Your honor, it's become obvious that Lt. Kaffee's intention this afternoon are to smear a high ranking Marine officer in the desperate hope that the mere appearance of impropriety will win him points with the court members. Now, it is my recommendation, sir, that Lt. Kaffee be reprimanded for his conduct and that this witness be excused with the court's deepest apologies. Judge Randolph:
[from the judge's bench]
Overruled. Capt. Ross:
Your honor... Judge Randolph:
[from the judge's bench]
Your objection is noted

is the smear a high-ranking
Marine officer...
00:00:05.263 --> 00:00:08.926
in the hope that the mere appearance
of impropriety will win him points.
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.936
It's my recommendation, sir,
that Lieutenant Kaffee be reprimanded...
00:00:13.996 --> 00:00:15.905
and the witness be excused
with the court's deepest apologies.
00:00:17.742 --> 00:00:20.836
Overruled.
Your objection is noted.
00:00:27.285 --> 00:00:29.116
Is this funny, sir?
00:00:29.187 --> 00:00:32.052
No, it's not.
It's tragic.
00:00:32.059 --> 00:00:35.286
- Do you have an answer?
- Absolutely.
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:39.159
My answer is,
I don't have the first damn clue.
00:00:39.023 --> 00:00:42.996
Maybe he was an early riser
and liked to pack in the morning.
00:00:43.067 --> 00:00:45.009
And maybe he didn't have any friends.
00:00:45.097 --> 00:00:49.462
I'm an educated man, but I'm afraid
I can't speak intelligently...
00:00:49.054 --> 00:00:53.203
about the travel habits
of William Santiago.
00:00:53.277 --> 00:00:58.305
What I do know is that he was set
to leave the base at 0600.
00:00:59.183 --> 00:01:04.028
Now, are these really the questions
that I was called here to answer?
00:01:04.355 --> 00:01:06.721
Phone calls and footlockers?
00:01:06.791 --> 00:01:10.488
Please tell me that you have
something more, Lieutenant.
00:01:10.001 --> 00:01:14.327
These two Marines
are on trial for their lives.
00:01:14.398 --> 00:01:18.999
Please tell me that their lawyer hasn't
pinned their hopes to a phone bill.
