1:13:01
Do you swear to tell the truth
without hatred or fear?
1:13:04
I swear.
1:13:07
What do you wish to ask the witness?
1:13:10
I'd like to ask him the circumstance
under which he first suspected...
1:13:14
...that Esterhazy, and not Dreyfus,
was the author of the bordereau.
1:13:19
You have heard the question. Answer it.
1:13:22
In May 1896,
while I was chief of intelligence...
1:13:27
...I received parts of a torn letter
addressed to Esterhazy...
1:13:31
...from the representative
of a foreign power.
1:13:34
I obtained Esterhazy's letter
and compared it with the bordereau.
1:13:37
Both writings were Esterhazy's.
1:13:39
This was confirmed
by Esterhazy's banker.
1:13:42
I was convinced that Esterhazy
had written the bordereau.
1:13:46
I gave this proof of Esterhazy's guilt
to the general staff.
1:13:49
Was Esterhazy informed
that Colonel Picquart suspected him?
1:13:53
Naturally.
1:13:56
And the warning originated from a certain
intelligence officer of the general staff.
1:14:01
Stop!
1:14:05
You're lying!
1:14:09
Silence. Silence!
1:14:11
Now I will tell everything. I will tell
why I was sent to North Africa.
1:14:15
Gentlemen of the jury, I will tell why
men like Colonel Henry...
1:14:19
...have made the most vile accusations
against me without proof.
1:14:22
Gentlemen, if you but knew why
all this is being done!
1:14:25
La patrie! La patrie!
You disgrace me!
1:14:29
Gentlemen! Well, I...
1:14:32
Silence. Silence!
1:14:37
- May I?
- Certainly, general.
1:14:40
The whole campaign of the defense
is extraordinary.
1:14:43
But the most deplorable spectacle of all to
me, as commander of the garrison of Paris...
1:14:48
...is that of an officer still wearing
the French uniform...
1:14:51
...who slanders his superiors
and his comrades.
1:14:54
- Long live the army!
- But not its generals!
