:02:41
That's all, gentlemen.
:02:50
A little harsh, isn't it?
To condemn a man to death...

:02:52
just because some other men
happened to lag behind?

:02:54
They were his troops.
:02:57
And I've been wondering why
they call you "The Watchdog."

:02:59
It's my way. The only way I know.
:03:02
Well, heaven knows I'm only the sort
of beagle that the Boston Star sends out...

:03:06
to track down a bit of news
here and there.

:03:08
I don't think I'd be very comfortable
being a watchdog.

:03:10
Do you think I wanted to send
Col. Tolditis to his death?

:03:13
He and I were friends.
:03:16
I think I understand patriotism
as well as the next man, General.

:03:20
I'm not sure I understand your brand.
:03:22
I think you'd kill your wife or child for
your country's sake, if you had a wife.

:03:25
I had a wife.
:03:27
I'm sorry. It was only a figure of speech.
:03:29
- It's all right. She is long dead.
- I'm extremely sorry, sir.

:03:35
You think I am a cold man.
Cold and brutal.

:03:40
If you had asked her,
she would never have said so.

:03:42
She's buried near here.
:03:44
You saw that island off the shore?
It's a cemetery, her burial place.

:03:49
I'd like to see the place.
I'll go there tomorrow.

:03:52
I'd like to put some flowers
on your wife's grave.

:03:54
I will give you that chance.
:03:56
I had planned to go there tonight.
I will take you with me.

:03:59
Across the battlefield? Out there?
