:51:37
I am innocent! I'm innocent!
:51:41
I'm innocent! I'm innocent!
:51:44
I'm... I am innocent!
:51:50
It is true, sir.
:51:52
I have never been fully convinced
of Dreyfus' guilt.
:51:55
Ever since I succeeded Sandherr,
I've tried to find out the truth...
:51:59
...to find out the real traitor.
And I've got him.
:52:03
- Who is it?
- Count Esterhazy.
:52:05
- Esterhazy? On what proof?
- I obtained specimens of his handwriting...
:52:11
...and compared it with the bordereau
on which Dreyfus was convicted.
:52:14
Both of the writings are Esterhazy's.
Look for yourself.
:52:18
- Dreyfus was guilty, just the same.
- But I have new evidence, further proof.
:52:23
My agents got hold of a special
message addressed to Esterhazy...
:52:27
...from the German military attaché.
I tell you, general, Dreyfus is innocent.
:52:31
And I tell you that
you've exceeded your duty.
:52:34
But, general, this is my duty.
:52:36
There must not be another
treason trial in the army.
:52:39
Understand? It must not be.
:52:41
But what about Dreyfus
rotting on Devil's Island?
:52:44
Dreyfus, Dreyfus.
Will we never hear the last of the man?
:52:50
Listen. If it is admitted
that a mistake has been made...
:52:54
...we, the general staff,
will be at the mercy...
:52:57
...of every scandal paper in France.
We owe it to the army to prevent that.
