how long have you known about the order i didn't who's this it's joe galloway she's downey's lawyer
she's very pleased to meet you what exactly are you accusing me of commander how long have you
known about the order jack did know about the order because if he did and told us jack knows
he'd be violating about 14 articles of the code of ethics as it is jack's got enough to worry about
god forbid our client's side to plead not guilty and testify for the record that they were given
in order kendrick specifically told those men not to touch santiago that's right and then he
went into dusting down his room and specifically told him to give him a code red that's not what
kendricks kendrick's line you have proof i have the defendants and i have 23 marines who aren't
accused of murdering a lieutenant with four letters of commendation why did marxism go
your way we'll never know you don't think i could subpoena markings you can try but you won't find
him you know what markinson did for the first 17 of his 26 years in the corps counter-intelligence
markinson's gone there is no parkinson look danny jessup star is on the rise division will give
me a lot of room on this one to spare jesus and the core any embarrassment how much room
i'll knock it all down to involuntary manslaughter two years or home in six months
no deal we're going to court joe no you're not why not because you'll lose and danny knows it
and he knows that if we do go to court i'm gonna have to go all the way they're gonna be charged
with a whole truckload murder conspiracy conduct unbecoming and even though he's got me by the
balls out here danny knows it in a courtroom he loses his case see danny is an awfully talented
lawyer and he's not about to see his clients go to jail for life when he knows they could be on
six months that's the end of this negotiation i'll see you tomorrow morning at the arraignment
all right here's the story the government's
offering involuntary manslaughter two years be home in six months
wow cathy you're the greatest lawyer in the world ooh how can we ever thank you fellas you
hear what i just said you're going home in six months i'm afraid we can't do that sir do what
make a deal sir what are you talking about we did nothing wrong sir we did our job and
if that has consequences then i'll accept him but i won't say that i'm guilty sir
did you did she put you up to this no we have a code sir well zippity doodah you and your
code plead not guilty you'll be in jail for the rest of your life do what i'm telling
you be home in six months do it harold six months it's nothing it's a hockey season
permission to speak jesus
what do we do then sir when after six months we'll be dishonorably discharged right sir probably
what do we do then sir
we joined the marines because we wanted to live our lives by a certain code
and we found it in the core now you're asking us to sign a piece of paper that says we have
no honor you're asking us to say we're not marines if a court decides that what we did
was wrong then i'll accept whatever punishment they give but i believe i was right sir i believe
i did my job and i will not dishonor myself my unit or the core so i can go home in six months
sir commander i'd like to talk to lance corporal dawson alone for a minute please
sergeant we're gonna go to another room we'd like to go in another holiday all right ma'am
you don't like me very much do you forget it don't answer it doesn't matter
you know donny worships you
he's gonna do whatever you do are you really gonna let this happen to him because of a code harold
do you think we were right it doesn't matter do you think we were right i think you'd lose
you're such a coward i can't believe they let you wear a uniform
i'm not gonna feel responsible for this harold i did everything i could you're going to leavenworth
for the better part of your life and you know what i don't give a [ __ ]
what happened to saluting an officer when he leaves the room
open it
i don't up i don't believe it thousands gonna go to jail just to spite me fine if he wants to
jump off a cliff that's his business i'm not gonna hold his hand on the way down
i want to get him a new lawyer how do i do it just make a motion tomorrow morning at the arraignment
judge will ask you if you want to enter a plea and you tell me you want to have new counsel assigned
that's that one thing though when you ask the judge for new counsel danny be sure and ask nicely
what do you want from me i want you to let them be judged i want you to stand up and make an argument
an argument that didn't work for callie at me lie an argument it didn't work for the
nazis at nuremberg oh for christ's sake sam do you really think that's the same as two
teenage marines executing a routine order they never believe would result in harm
these guys aren't the nazis don't look now danny but you're making an argument
yeah yeah tomorrow morning i get them a new attorney why are you so afraid to be a lawyer
were daddy's expectations really that high oh please spare me the psychobabble father
[ __ ] dawson and downey will have their day in court but they'll have it with another lawyer
another lawyer won't be good enough they need you you know how to win you know they have
a case and you know how to win if you walk away from this now you've sealed their fate
their fate was sealed the moment santiago died do you believe they have a case you're
a dawson you both live in the same dream world it doesn't matter what i believe it only matters
what i can prove so please don't tell me what i know and don't know i know the law
you know nothing about the law you're a used car salesman daniel
you're an ambulance chaser with a rank you're nothing live with that
so i told duncan look if you want to take this to court you're going to force me to
file like nine kinds of discovery emotions and you're going to spend the better part of a year
going blind on paperwork because a 90 year old man misread the delaware insurance code
so what happened he calls back 15 minutes later he says let's make a deal
so
all rise
you
