This is the Article 32
investigation.

:34:02
You're facing
a general court-martial...

:34:04
and charged with violation
ofat least three articles...

:34:07
everything from "breach of peace"
to "conduct unbecoming".

:34:10
But the bottom line... 83 counts,
violation of Article 118, murder.

:34:15
You issued an illegal order
to have your marines...

:34:17
fire into a group
of innocent civilians.

:34:20
Murder, sir?
:34:26
I'm the convening authority, so I've
gotta get this B.S. out of the way.

:34:32
Sign here, initial here.
:34:39
You're not a flight risk, so there
won't be any pretrial confinement.

:34:47
This court-martial convenes
in eight days...

:34:50
by direct order of
the national command authority.

:34:54
Do you want me to call
Bob Bennett or one of those guys,

:34:58
or do you want to go
with base legal?

:35:03
Terry, goddamn it,
we've been friends for20years.

:35:10
You want to tell me exactly
what the hell happened out there?

:35:15
I lost marines. The crowd
was hostile. They fired on us.

:35:20
They fired first, sir.
:35:24
I want you to know
I did everything in the world...

:35:26
to keep this from happening.
:35:28
It's just out
of my hands now.

:35:42
Thanks a lot.
:35:44
When's the last time you
actually caught something here?

:35:48
Two years.
:35:55
- I really need your help.
- I'll help. Anything you need.

:35:58
You want me to take the stand?
I'll be a character witness.
