:56:01
You blockhead!
Why didn't you come ask me?!
:56:03
- The lady will hear you, Émile.
- You knew I was busy.
:56:09
- Well, well, well. Just ask her to come in.
- Yes, sir.
:56:22
Madame Dreyfus, please.
:56:39
- Madame Dreyfus?
- Yes, Monsieur Zola.
:56:41
Please forgive me for intruding like this...
:56:44
...but I had to see you,
talk to you about my husband.
:56:47
But, madame, what can I do
for your husband?
:56:50
He's innocent, monsieur.
I've absolute proof here.
:56:54
But no one will listen to me. No one.
:56:57
Naturally, as his wife,

:57:13

:57:16
I'm just an ordinary citizen, and l...
:57:20
Besides, I have my work,
my books to write. I can't...
:57:27
What is this new proof
you say you have?
:57:30
- A certain Colonel Picquart...
- Oh, that.
:57:33
It was all in the papers.
Picquart came back from Africa...
:57:36
...and accused Esterhazy of writing
the bordereau.
:57:39
Esterhazy was acquitted.
:57:41
Of course he was. Acquitted by the same
army group that convicted my husband.
:57:45
But don't you see?
They had to acquit Esterhazy...
:57:49
...to save the face of the general staff.
They'll stop at nothing...
:57:52
...to protect themselves,
even to sacrificing one of their own class.
:57:56
That's fantastic. Childish, madame.
:57:59
The general staff has more important work
to do than...
