: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?
:04:01
You mean, it's dangerous for an old man?
:04:04
You forget, I am also an old soldier.
You take the lantern.
:04:40
The soldiers are exhausted.
Why don't you use horses?
:04:42
Horses cannot understand...
:04:43
why they have to work beyond endurance
for their country.
:04:46
But the men understand.
:04:47
But these men have been fighting
all day, sir.
:04:49
The dead have to be buried immediately.
:04:53
Do you want to know why?
He will tell you why.
:04:56
Drossos.
:04:59
Dr. Drossos, our American friend,
would like to know...
