1
00:01:57,073 --> 00:01:58,449
Soldiers!

2
00:01:58,783 --> 00:02:01,201
Present arms!

3
00:02:03,665 --> 00:02:05,498
Commence!

4
00:02:13,172 --> 00:02:15,133
"In the name of the French people,"

5
00:02:15,801 --> 00:02:19,011
the first War Council of the
military government of Paris

6
00:02:19,263 --> 00:02:26,561
on December 22, 1894 found Dreyfus Alfred,

7
00:02:27,772 --> 00:02:30,899
Captain of the 14th Artillery Regiment,

8
00:02:31,275 --> 00:02:36,363
staff trainee, guilty of high treason.

9
00:02:36,657 --> 00:02:42,244
It therefore condemns him
to be deported to a fortified place,

10
00:02:42,453 --> 00:02:44,496
"and to military degradation."

11
00:02:44,748 --> 00:02:48,731
Alfred Dreyfus,
you are no longer worthy to bear arms.

12
00:02:48,836 --> 00:02:51,880
In the name of the French people,
we degrade you.

13
00:02:56,344 --> 00:02:57,427
Soldiers!

14
00:02:57,888 --> 00:02:59,721
They degrade an innocent man!

15
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:07,062
They dishonour an innocent man!
Long live France!

16
00:03:07,939 --> 00:03:10,190
- Long live the army!
- To death!

17
00:03:10,401 --> 00:03:12,902
- To death!
- Traitor!

18
00:03:17,365 --> 00:03:19,784
- To death!
- Death to the Jew!

19
00:03:23,747 --> 00:03:25,289
You're a traitor!

20
00:03:26,083 --> 00:03:27,583
Picquart, how does he look?

21
00:03:28,753 --> 00:03:34,508
Like a Jewish tailor,
crying over the gold he lost.

22
00:03:35,551 --> 00:03:37,635
Kill the traitor!

23
00:03:40,264 --> 00:03:41,641
To death!

24
00:03:43,059 --> 00:03:45,519
- Coward!
- To death!

25
00:03:45,603 --> 00:03:46,854
Damn you!

26
00:04:00,202 --> 00:04:03,748
- To death!
- Damn you, traitor!

27
00:04:06,167 --> 00:04:09,044
- To death!
- Traitor!

28
00:04:12,216 --> 00:04:14,301
I am innocent!

29
00:04:15,927 --> 00:04:21,683
The Romans threw the Christians
to the lions, we the Jews. We progress.

30
00:04:33,781 --> 00:04:36,572
What was the mood
at the end of the ceremony?

31
00:04:36,825 --> 00:04:41,245
As if a healthy body
had been purged of a plague

32
00:04:41,454 --> 00:04:43,350
and life would resume its course.

33
00:04:43,372 --> 00:04:48,335
Too bad, the Minister of War
cannot assist in these events.

34
00:04:48,462 --> 00:04:50,837
- Am I being sued?
- No, Minister.

35
00:04:50,964 --> 00:04:54,050
It doesn't matter. You did well.

36
00:04:54,343 --> 00:04:58,888
We were impressed with your
conduct. Right, Boisdeffre?

37
00:04:59,055 --> 00:05:04,102
Indeed.
Colonel Sandherr witnessed the ceremony?

38
00:05:04,186 --> 00:05:06,522
- He was there, General.
- His tremors?

39
00:05:07,314 --> 00:05:09,024
He could control them.

40
00:05:09,233 --> 00:05:12,360
His condition won't improve.

41
00:05:13,905 --> 00:05:16,364
You will replace him.

42
00:05:18,285 --> 00:05:22,830
With all due respect, I don't have
experience in the secret service.

43
00:05:22,914 --> 00:05:24,999
You'll have to acquire it.

44
00:05:28,170 --> 00:05:32,798
The punishment given to Dreyfus
will show the world how we treat traitors.

45
00:05:33,884 --> 00:05:39,098
I want to send him to a place
where he has no one to talk to.

46
00:05:40,182 --> 00:05:43,101
- The penal colony of Cayenne?
- No, better yet.

47
00:05:43,310 --> 00:05:48,066
A deserted rock where he'll be alone,
Devil's Island.

48
00:06:32,530 --> 00:06:35,176
Are they still talking
about that damn Jew?

49
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,787
Picquart. You knew him, didn't you?

50
00:06:40,954 --> 00:06:43,415
- Sorry, who?
- Dreyfus.

51
00:06:43,792 --> 00:06:46,752
He was my student at the War College.

52
00:06:47,087 --> 00:06:51,423
- They treat him like that because he's Jewish?
- Yes. I am a lawyer.

53
00:06:51,507 --> 00:06:55,427
A Catholic officer
would have had a fair trial.

54
00:06:55,512 --> 00:06:57,638
Do you agree, Picquart?

55
00:06:58,973 --> 00:07:05,104
He was denied due process
on matters of national security

56
00:07:05,272 --> 00:07:10,485
that could not be disclosed, but the
evidence against him was not lacking.

57
00:07:13,238 --> 00:07:14,948
I forgot!

58
00:07:15,032 --> 00:07:19,494
With Philippe I discovered an
alsacian restaurant in Rue Marbeuf.

59
00:07:19,620 --> 00:07:21,455
- Wonderful.
- Great restaurant.

60
00:07:21,538 --> 00:07:23,206
I'll prove it.

61
00:07:26,211 --> 00:07:30,256
- Major!
- Captain.

62
00:07:30,382 --> 00:07:33,717
Major, did I do something to offend you?

63
00:07:33,802 --> 00:07:35,010
No.

64
00:07:36,180 --> 00:07:39,641
You're the only professor
who gave me a bad grade.

65
00:07:39,976 --> 00:07:42,684
Perhaps I don't value your skills
as much as you do.

66
00:07:43,771 --> 00:07:45,439
Not because I'm Jewish?

67
00:07:45,565 --> 00:07:49,818
I'm careful that sentiment
doesn't affect my judgment.

68
00:07:49,986 --> 00:07:53,656
If you have to be careful,
it's a plausible hypothesis.

69
00:07:56,117 --> 00:08:01,330
If you're asking me if I
appreciate Jews, my answer is no.

70
00:08:02,833 --> 00:08:08,755
If you're implying that
I have a discriminating attitude

71
00:08:09,089 --> 00:08:10,757
I assure you I don't.

72
00:08:11,551 --> 00:08:13,051
Never.

73
00:08:18,642 --> 00:08:22,811
It was a beautiful day.
Are you tired?

74
00:08:23,021 --> 00:08:26,148
A little, but I had a great time.

75
00:08:27,191 --> 00:08:30,736
- Georges, I'll help you.
- Come on, darling.

76
00:08:36,117 --> 00:08:38,202
He's going to Brussels on Wednesday.

77
00:08:38,285 --> 00:08:40,205
- Can you come?
- Yes.

78
00:08:44,419 --> 00:08:46,795
Do you ever feel guilty?

79
00:08:48,046 --> 00:08:51,925
- He's not my husband.
- You know what I mean.

80
00:08:52,468 --> 00:08:57,138
Why guilty?
You were with me before he showed up.

81
00:08:59,058 --> 00:09:01,644
I don't understand why you married him.

82
00:09:01,728 --> 00:09:03,646
He asked me.

83
00:09:04,106 --> 00:09:05,648
You don't.

84
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,817
You think he knows about us?

85
00:09:10,404 --> 00:09:11,821
No.

86
00:09:12,490 --> 00:09:15,992
- Why?
- If he knew, he'd kill me.

87
00:09:20,372 --> 00:09:23,291
- Are you sure he's in Brussels?
- That's what he said.

88
00:09:34,345 --> 00:09:36,847
- Who is it?
- Telegram.

89
00:09:39,393 --> 00:09:41,268
- Major Picquart?
- Yes.

90
00:09:41,770 --> 00:09:43,479
Thank you.

91
00:09:53,699 --> 00:09:56,451
- It's from General Gonse.
- Who is he?

92
00:09:56,536 --> 00:09:59,038
He's the head of the Secret Service.

93
00:09:59,622 --> 00:10:03,292
- He wants to see me in the morning.
- Darling! Are you in trouble?

94
00:10:12,218 --> 00:10:16,055
I prayed that this day would never come.

95
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:22,145
Colonel Sandherr can no longer
head the Statistics section.

96
00:10:23,231 --> 00:10:24,939
I'm sorry to hear that.

97
00:10:25,024 --> 00:10:28,068
From now on, you will take his place.

98
00:10:28,486 --> 00:10:31,238
You will be promoted to Lieutenant Colonel.

99
00:10:31,738 --> 00:10:35,075
That makes you the youngest
Colonel in the army.

100
00:10:37,162 --> 00:10:40,247
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

101
00:10:40,332 --> 00:10:42,375
Keep me in the loop.

102
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:46,879
Understand, young man?
I hate surprises.

103
00:10:47,047 --> 00:10:50,175
Major Henry will show you the offices.

104
00:10:50,843 --> 00:10:53,553
Did he expect to get this assignment?

105
00:10:53,638 --> 00:10:59,101
My God, no! Too crude.
His wife's father is a landlord, I think.

106
00:11:01,396 --> 00:11:04,690
- You're not married?
- No, General.

107
00:11:04,982 --> 00:11:07,734
- Is there a reason?
- No.

108
00:11:08,152 --> 00:11:10,738
Is there anything that
could expose you to blackmail?

109
00:11:10,823 --> 00:11:12,364
No.

110
00:11:14,326 --> 00:11:17,870
I have to ask, you understand.

111
00:11:22,293 --> 00:11:24,752
Major Henry, come in.

112
00:11:29,174 --> 00:11:31,093
- General.
- Colonel Picquart

113
00:11:31,178 --> 00:11:34,012
will head the Statistics section.

114
00:11:34,472 --> 00:11:37,473
- Welcome him.
- Certainly, General.

115
00:11:38,726 --> 00:11:40,811
Colonel.

116
00:11:46,777 --> 00:11:48,694
Here we go.

117
00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:53,825
- I thought it was uninhabited.
- Nobody's bothering us here.

118
00:11:54,118 --> 00:11:56,203
I don't doubt it.

119
00:12:15,223 --> 00:12:17,016
Bachir!

120
00:12:17,601 --> 00:12:20,019
Good morning, Major.

121
00:12:20,145 --> 00:12:23,689
Colonel Picquart
takes command of the section.

122
00:12:24,108 --> 00:12:25,942
Bachir knows every secret here.

123
00:12:26,027 --> 00:12:28,236
- Is that so?
- Yes.

124
00:12:33,451 --> 00:12:38,664
What's all this racket?
You can hear it from the street.

125
00:12:40,208 --> 00:12:42,334
Stop it!

126
00:12:45,588 --> 00:12:49,008
Police officers, informants.
They're useful.

127
00:12:49,301 --> 00:12:54,305
Colonel Sandherr made them
stay here to check them out.

128
00:12:57,726 --> 00:13:01,479
- What's that smell?
- Tell me about it, the sewers.

129
00:13:01,564 --> 00:13:03,271
The whole neighborhood stinks.

130
00:13:07,278 --> 00:13:10,156
Meet Captains Junck and Valdant.

131
00:13:11,407 --> 00:13:15,160
- What are they doing?
- Checking the correspondence.

132
00:13:17,789 --> 00:13:21,375
Valdant uses the dry method,
Junck uses steam.

133
00:13:30,844 --> 00:13:33,513
- Are these private letters?
- Not anymore.

134
00:13:41,231 --> 00:13:42,648
At ease, Captain.

135
00:13:42,733 --> 00:13:45,859
You remember Captain Lauth
of the Dreyfus affair.

136
00:13:46,443 --> 00:13:48,361
Colonel Picquart is the new chief.

137
00:13:49,197 --> 00:13:50,865
What are you doing?

138
00:13:54,244 --> 00:13:55,869
I'll tell you later.

139
00:14:12,304 --> 00:14:15,974
You may also remember
Gribelin, the archivist.

140
00:14:16,226 --> 00:14:19,101
Colonel Picquart replaces Sandherr.

141
00:14:21,522 --> 00:14:23,774
You have a lot of files.

142
00:14:27,403 --> 00:14:29,488
All right, carry on.

143
00:14:35,412 --> 00:14:39,332
Here's the telephone
and here's my office.

144
00:14:39,625 --> 00:14:43,378
No secretaries,
the Colonel didn't trust them.

145
00:14:44,173 --> 00:14:45,880
This was his office.

146
00:14:45,966 --> 00:14:49,676
- So now it's mine.
- We'll have to get used to it.

147
00:15:19,709 --> 00:15:24,713
Here are your keys.
Entrance, office, drawer, safe.

148
00:15:24,797 --> 00:15:28,133
Thank you. What was Lauth working on?

149
00:15:28,218 --> 00:15:31,763
Recomposing the correspondence
of the German military attaché.

150
00:15:31,972 --> 00:15:34,765
- Colonel Schwartzkoppen.
- Private letters?

151
00:15:34,849 --> 00:15:36,183
Yes.

152
00:15:36,434 --> 00:15:38,477
- Does the Minister know about this?
- Certainly.

153
00:15:39,272 --> 00:15:42,982
We follow his stories with pleasure.
He's been having an affair for years.

154
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,777
- Is that so strange?
- Yes, it is.

155
00:15:46,862 --> 00:15:50,448
He's mad at the Italian military attaché,
Major Panizzardi.

156
00:15:53,162 --> 00:15:55,244
Good gracious!

157
00:15:56,455 --> 00:15:59,499
How do we get his letters?

158
00:16:01,086 --> 00:16:03,921
Come on, I'm the section chief.

159
00:16:04,005 --> 00:16:07,924
The cleaning lady at the
German Embassy, Marie Bastian.

160
00:16:09,385 --> 00:16:12,889
Every week she delivers us
the contents of the garbage can.

161
00:16:13,433 --> 00:16:19,312
They are important documents,
not just affected notes.

162
00:16:20,106 --> 00:16:21,774
Remember this?

163
00:16:21,858 --> 00:16:26,486
- Dreyfus' note.
- It was in six pieces.

164
00:16:26,571 --> 00:16:29,740
Lauth glued them together
and removed the tear marks.

165
00:16:29,824 --> 00:16:34,496
So you can't tell where it came from.
Without this, we wouldn't have caught him.

166
00:16:34,746 --> 00:16:36,413
Good job.

167
00:16:36,707 --> 00:16:41,210
We framed it for Sandherr
when they demoted the traitor.

168
00:16:41,544 --> 00:16:44,381
Good. Thank you, Major.

169
00:16:45,090 --> 00:16:50,220
- I think we'll get along just fine.
- Thank you, Colonel. I hope so.

170
00:17:03,527 --> 00:17:07,697
"I send you some interesting information."

171
00:17:08,490 --> 00:17:13,744
A note on the hydraulic brake
of the 120 and its functioning.

172
00:17:14,788 --> 00:17:17,540
A note on the cover troops.

173
00:17:18,376 --> 00:17:21,336
One on the changes to artillery units.

174
00:17:21,629 --> 00:17:27,384
"The Artillery Field Manual, Firing.
March 1894."

175
00:17:29,304 --> 00:17:30,346
May I?

176
00:17:31,723 --> 00:17:35,142
We recovered this one week ago
at the German Embassy.

177
00:17:35,351 --> 00:17:40,607
- Where are the documents mentioned?
- Probably in Berlin.

178
00:17:41,191 --> 00:17:42,900
Who's the spy?

179
00:17:43,152 --> 00:17:45,527
What does the note say?

180
00:17:46,822 --> 00:17:49,574
He's an artillery officer.

181
00:17:50,408 --> 00:17:53,744
He served in all four
departments of the Joint Chiefs.

182
00:17:53,954 --> 00:18:00,836
The only ones to have done this are your
students at the War College.

183
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,255
- I'm surprised there's a traitor.
- One of them is.

184
00:18:05,300 --> 00:18:09,136
We'd like a sample
of each officer's handwriting

185
00:18:09,304 --> 00:18:13,306
- who carried out this rotation.
- Certainly.

186
00:18:25,530 --> 00:18:28,364
The gunners who served
in the four departments.

187
00:18:29,450 --> 00:18:33,037
Souriau. Gaston. Corbin.

188
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,874
Dreyfus. Etienne. Dreyfus...

189
00:18:38,625 --> 00:18:41,837
- The Jew?
- He's the only Jew among them.

190
00:18:48,386 --> 00:18:50,137
Could it be him?

191
00:18:51,140 --> 00:18:55,184
It may very well be him.
Better show it to Du Paty.

192
00:18:55,310 --> 00:18:58,772
Major Du Paty?
Is he in charge of this?

193
00:18:58,939 --> 00:19:03,485
Yes, Major Du Paty
is a passionate investigator.

194
00:19:04,529 --> 00:19:07,615
Picquart, get Dreyfus in here.

195
00:19:07,740 --> 00:19:10,742
Henry, hide behind the map.

196
00:19:11,076 --> 00:19:13,997
I'll pretend I hurt my finger.

197
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,209
I'll ask him to write a letter
that I will dictate to him.

198
00:19:18,460 --> 00:19:24,133
Cochefert, you and your colleague
be seated. Take the chair.

199
00:19:24,259 --> 00:19:28,387
You'll be sitting here
to make the arrest.

200
00:19:28,513 --> 00:19:30,805
Gribelin, take notes.

201
00:19:31,015 --> 00:19:32,599
So...

202
00:19:33,601 --> 00:19:36,019
When he confesses...

203
00:19:37,105 --> 00:19:42,151
I'll propose to him to accept
the only honourable solution.

204
00:19:44,613 --> 00:19:47,198
- He's at the entrance.
- Picquart, go.

205
00:19:48,117 --> 00:19:52,119
Get in position. Good luck gentlemen.

206
00:19:55,625 --> 00:19:58,627
- Good morning, Major.
- Captain.

207
00:19:58,837 --> 00:20:01,504
Forgive my attire.

208
00:20:01,589 --> 00:20:05,216
I'm called to a meeting
of the Joint Chiefs.

209
00:20:05,675 --> 00:20:08,971
- "In bourgeois clothes."
- Exactly.

210
00:20:09,055 --> 00:20:10,640
What a relief!

211
00:20:10,723 --> 00:20:15,060
- I thought it was a joke.
- It's not a joke. I'll come with you.

212
00:20:15,145 --> 00:20:17,397
- Don't bother.
- I insist.

213
00:20:32,246 --> 00:20:35,164
It's very quiet, isn't it?

214
00:20:35,833 --> 00:20:38,751
Good. Now I have to say goodbye.

215
00:20:39,295 --> 00:20:41,505
Goodbye, Major.

216
00:20:48,346 --> 00:20:50,432
Enter.

217
00:21:34,729 --> 00:21:37,313
- Mrs. Sandherr?
- Yes.

218
00:21:37,397 --> 00:21:41,067
I am Colonel Picquart,
your husband's successor.

219
00:21:41,151 --> 00:21:43,153
You have his job. What do you want?

220
00:21:43,154 --> 00:21:46,032
- Leave us alone.
- Who is it?

221
00:21:46,324 --> 00:21:50,453
- Picquart.
- I summoned him. Send him in.

222
00:22:08,681 --> 00:22:12,642
- Good morning, Colonel.
- Come closer, Picquart.

223
00:22:13,686 --> 00:22:16,814
I have a few things
that will come in handy.

224
00:22:19,609 --> 00:22:22,986
In the desk, down there.

225
00:22:23,613 --> 00:22:26,532
There's something you must have.

226
00:22:27,576 --> 00:22:29,035
Down there.

227
00:22:32,038 --> 00:22:34,623
The bag, open it.

228
00:22:38,879 --> 00:22:43,716
Secret funds, 48,000 francs.
It's yours now.

229
00:22:43,802 --> 00:22:48,847
In the middle drawer
of the desk is a folder.

230
00:22:52,893 --> 00:22:54,270
You see it?

231
00:22:55,063 --> 00:22:57,146
Yes, it's here.

232
00:23:03,070 --> 00:23:06,448
- Who are they?
- People suspected of treason.

233
00:23:07,492 --> 00:23:09,244
People to arrest in case of war.

234
00:23:09,328 --> 00:23:11,955
- All of them?
- Yes, 2,500 names.

235
00:23:12,290 --> 00:23:14,499
Gribelin has the master list.

236
00:23:14,917 --> 00:23:16,876
A hundred thousand foreigners to arrest.

237
00:23:17,252 --> 00:23:21,590
- Good gracious!
- That's not all, there are no Jews.

238
00:23:24,092 --> 00:23:27,346
My wife says it's shameful to retire.

239
00:23:27,638 --> 00:23:31,308
But I'm happy to be forgotten.

240
00:23:31,393 --> 00:23:34,020
When I see so many foreigners around me

241
00:23:34,228 --> 00:23:40,192
I notice the degeneration of the
our moral and artistic values.

242
00:23:40,986 --> 00:23:44,363
Then I realize I cannot recognize France.

243
00:23:44,699 --> 00:23:49,911
- I will try to protect the country.
- Go ahead, for what's left of it!

244
00:23:59,255 --> 00:24:01,340
Colonel.

245
00:24:09,766 --> 00:24:11,768
Good day, Bachir.

246
00:24:12,644 --> 00:24:15,523
- Good day, Colonel.
- Sorry to disturb you.

247
00:24:58,985 --> 00:25:02,571
Major Henry! A word, if you please.

248
00:25:04,865 --> 00:25:07,953
Colonel. You're early.

249
00:25:08,161 --> 00:25:12,623
- Some changes will have to be made.
- Changes?

250
00:25:12,874 --> 00:25:18,046
I don't want these shady types in here.
We'll replace the passes.

251
00:25:18,505 --> 00:25:22,092
- And Bachir is exasperating.
- You're getting rid of Bachir?

252
00:25:22,218 --> 00:25:27,306
He'll get another assignment.
Meantime, let's get a doorbell.

253
00:25:28,225 --> 00:25:31,394
- Very well, Colonel.
- What's in the bag?

254
00:25:37,024 --> 00:25:39,526
Marie Bastian's lastest delivery.

255
00:25:40,571 --> 00:25:43,365
- From when?
- Last night.

256
00:25:43,448 --> 00:25:45,741
She leaves it at a church near my house.

257
00:25:45,867 --> 00:25:49,537
- You take it home?
- It's just my wife and me.

258
00:25:49,622 --> 00:25:54,291
That's not why. Documents like that
need to be brought here right away.

259
00:25:56,170 --> 00:25:57,920
I'll keep them in the safe.

260
00:25:58,089 --> 00:26:01,300
I'll decide which leads to follow
and to whom to entrust the task.

261
00:26:05,304 --> 00:26:08,473
Sandherr was happy with my work.

262
00:26:08,557 --> 00:26:11,644
Sandherr is consumed by syphilis.

263
00:26:12,061 --> 00:26:15,439
He is paralysed and brain damaged.

264
00:26:16,024 --> 00:26:18,108
That'll be all.

265
00:26:19,153 --> 00:26:20,986
Very well, Colonel.

266
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:30,497
One last thing.
I will pick up the next delivery myself.

267
00:30:15,817 --> 00:30:18,945
- Well?
- It's a telegram.

268
00:30:24,911 --> 00:30:28,623
"I look forward to
a more detailed explanation"

269
00:30:29,041 --> 00:30:33,085
than the one you gave me the other day
on the outstanding issue.

270
00:30:33,336 --> 00:30:40,009
"Please give it to me in writing
to see if I can continue my..."

271
00:30:40,136 --> 00:30:41,719
- My...?
- "my relationship."

272
00:30:41,972 --> 00:30:45,473
My relationship with the house of R."

273
00:30:45,891 --> 00:30:49,811
He didn't send it.
There's the address on the back.

274
00:30:53,482 --> 00:30:59,029
"Mr. Major Esterhazy.
Rue de la Bienfaisance."

275
00:31:16,841 --> 00:31:22,261
"Walsin Esterhazy, 74th Infantry
Regiment stationed in Rouen."

276
00:31:22,389 --> 00:31:24,097
Rouen.

277
00:31:24,473 --> 00:31:27,727
"The house of R."
Is there another traitor?

278
00:31:32,064 --> 00:31:36,819
I want a list of more trustworthy
inspectors, someone discreet.

279
00:31:37,028 --> 00:31:39,197
- I'll ask Major Henry.
- No.

280
00:31:40,156 --> 00:31:44,953
It'll stay between us.
For now we won't tell anyone about this.

281
00:32:13,150 --> 00:32:15,567
- Colonel Picquart?
- Yes.

282
00:32:15,820 --> 00:32:19,156
- Jean Alfred Desvernine of security.
- Perfect.

283
00:32:19,406 --> 00:32:22,700
I have an assignment for you,
a delicate matter.

284
00:32:23,827 --> 00:32:26,330
There's a name inside.

285
00:32:30,502 --> 00:32:34,171
I want to know everything about him.
How he lives, who he hangs out with.

286
00:32:34,964 --> 00:32:38,259
Particularly if he has relations
with the German Embassy.

287
00:32:38,843 --> 00:32:41,929
It's a delicate matter.
Don't come to the ministry.

288
00:32:43,057 --> 00:32:46,600
- How long will you need?
- Give me a week.

289
00:32:47,728 --> 00:32:51,230
- "Apollo." Is that Greek?
- No, it's a Roman copy.

290
00:32:51,564 --> 00:32:56,277
- The original is lost.
- You mean it's a fake.

291
00:32:57,321 --> 00:33:00,574
No, it's a copy. It's different.

292
00:33:14,340 --> 00:33:17,966
- I'd rather have told you myself.
- It doesn't matter.

293
00:33:18,384 --> 00:33:21,972
I asked Lauth not to tell anyone.

294
00:33:22,139 --> 00:33:26,393
- Maybe nobody believes me.
- Who says otherwise?

295
00:33:30,899 --> 00:33:34,234
- Can I give you some advice?
- Certainly.

296
00:33:35,236 --> 00:33:38,947
Newcomers think that the first suspect

297
00:33:39,032 --> 00:33:41,326
they meet is a great spy.

298
00:33:41,577 --> 00:33:46,080
Esterhazy is stuck in Rouen, he doesn't
have access to confidential material.

299
00:33:46,372 --> 00:33:48,248
He's small fry.

300
00:33:48,792 --> 00:33:52,546
Judging from this,
Schwartzkoppen also doesn't consider it.

301
00:33:52,838 --> 00:33:56,340
Keep an eye on him,
but don't waste too much time on it.

302
00:33:56,426 --> 00:33:58,551
Thanks for the advice.

303
00:34:22,828 --> 00:34:24,538
There he is.

304
00:34:33,589 --> 00:34:36,258
- I'm assuming it's not the wife.
- No.

305
00:34:37,301 --> 00:34:40,428
Marguerite Pays,
prostitute, 26 years old.

306
00:34:40,597 --> 00:34:43,849
- She's known as Four Finger Margaret.
- You're joking.

307
00:34:43,934 --> 00:34:45,185
No.

308
00:34:45,268 --> 00:34:48,188
He settled her
in an apartment in Montmartre.

309
00:34:48,397 --> 00:34:50,147
I thought he was stationed in Rouen.

310
00:34:50,357 --> 00:34:52,399
- He never goes there.
- Never?

311
00:34:52,650 --> 00:34:58,657
A curious detail.
He always enrolled in artillery classes.

312
00:35:00,742 --> 00:35:03,327
But he's not in the artillery.

313
00:35:11,629 --> 00:35:14,172
We'd better get going.

314
00:35:27,479 --> 00:35:29,482
What's the next move?

315
00:35:30,357 --> 00:35:33,985
Opposite the German Embassy is a building.

316
00:35:34,236 --> 00:35:36,488
There's an empty apartment for rent.

317
00:35:36,655 --> 00:35:40,117
The Germans use the ground floor
as a canteen for officers.

318
00:35:44,081 --> 00:35:48,749
We should get some material over there.
It'll be risky and expensive.

319
00:35:49,044 --> 00:35:53,797
- Isn't it enough to follow Esterhazy?
- You've seen him, he's cunning.

320
00:35:53,883 --> 00:35:56,717
He'd know right away.

321
00:35:58,886 --> 00:36:02,182
- Rent the apartment.
- Yes.

322
00:36:24,581 --> 00:36:27,083
- Good day.
- Colonel.

323
00:36:35,092 --> 00:36:39,930
Schwartzkoppen is with Panizzardi,
the Italian military attaché.

324
00:36:40,639 --> 00:36:43,225
You come at just the right time.

325
00:36:53,111 --> 00:36:55,321
Here's Schwartzkoppen.

326
00:36:56,365 --> 00:37:00,868
Here is Panizzardi Alessandro.
He's a handsome young man.

327
00:37:03,162 --> 00:37:05,624
The Ambassador, Count Munster...

328
00:37:06,833 --> 00:37:10,629
and diplomats and officers
that we haven't identified yet.

329
00:37:11,839 --> 00:37:13,715
- Isn't Esterhazy there?
- No.

330
00:37:13,799 --> 00:37:16,384
Colonel, they're leaving.

331
00:37:51,047 --> 00:37:54,008
My God! They're in love.

332
00:38:10,318 --> 00:38:13,778
Gentlemen,
what you are about to see is secret.

333
00:38:14,864 --> 00:38:18,783
Our cannons were firing
two rounds per minute.

334
00:38:18,950 --> 00:38:21,745
Today I present to you Cannon 75.

335
00:38:22,122 --> 00:38:25,875
It has a hydropneumatic brake
that absorbs the energy of the shot.

336
00:38:25,958 --> 00:38:29,002
This avoids recalculating
the aim after the hit.

337
00:38:29,087 --> 00:38:34,758
- So the firing rate has increased tenfold.
- Gunners, to your stations!

338
00:38:37,053 --> 00:38:40,222
For a 12-shot. Load up.

339
00:38:41,100 --> 00:38:43,768
- Loader ready.
- Shooter ready.

340
00:38:43,853 --> 00:38:45,144
Fire!

341
00:38:56,449 --> 00:39:01,828
If the Germans come back
we will give them a warm welcome.

342
00:39:11,841 --> 00:39:15,927
To the 75!

343
00:39:21,558 --> 00:39:22,850
Colonel Picquart?

344
00:39:22,936 --> 00:39:24,102
- Yes.
- Colonel Foucault.

345
00:39:24,186 --> 00:39:27,022
I'm the military attaché in Berlin.
Do you have a moment?

346
00:39:27,106 --> 00:39:28,898
Yes.

347
00:39:30,109 --> 00:39:34,320
- It will play a decisive role in battle.
- I'm sure.

348
00:39:34,740 --> 00:39:38,618
You know about the infiltrator
in the German secret service?

349
00:39:38,702 --> 00:39:40,535
- Cuers?
- Cuers.

350
00:39:40,662 --> 00:39:44,874
He says the Germans have a spy in our army.

351
00:39:44,999 --> 00:39:47,043
- Did he mention a name?
- He doesn't know.

352
00:39:48,003 --> 00:39:50,880
He's 50 years old and commands a battalion.

353
00:39:50,965 --> 00:39:53,925
For two years he's been passing
second-rate information

354
00:39:54,009 --> 00:39:56,469
especially about artillery.

355
00:39:56,846 --> 00:39:59,472
I wanted to fill you in.

356
00:40:00,058 --> 00:40:02,226
Thanks, I'll take care of it.

357
00:40:02,309 --> 00:40:04,352
A toast is in order.

358
00:40:04,437 --> 00:40:07,314
- Cheers!
- Here's to us.

359
00:40:42,769 --> 00:40:45,145
Well? What's so urgent?

360
00:40:53,238 --> 00:40:58,117
- Interesting.
- It's interesting what he's holding.

361
00:40:59,245 --> 00:41:03,039
- A cane?
- No, this.

362
00:41:05,919 --> 00:41:09,546
- How long between the two pictures?
- Twelve minutes.

363
00:41:11,633 --> 00:41:14,927
- He takes no precautions.
- He doesn't care.

364
00:41:15,679 --> 00:41:18,514
My goodness, what they get up to nowadays!

365
00:41:18,682 --> 00:41:22,059
- What does General Gonse say?
- I haven't told him yet.

366
00:41:23,772 --> 00:41:26,314
- Why?
- I wanted to restrict it

367
00:41:26,399 --> 00:41:28,483
to a limited circle of people.

368
00:41:28,817 --> 00:41:32,654
- I would like to inform the minister.
- Why?

369
00:41:33,406 --> 00:41:39,119
War Secretary Billot
asked to warn him about things

370
00:41:39,203 --> 00:41:43,623
- that might create political problems.
- All right, you can talk to him about it.

371
00:41:43,709 --> 00:41:48,837
But be discreet.
I don't want another Dreyfus scandal.

372
00:41:51,467 --> 00:41:55,094
Esterhazy... Esterhazy...

373
00:41:57,431 --> 00:41:59,433
That name sounds familiar.

374
00:42:01,643 --> 00:42:03,019
Have you met him?

375
00:42:03,103 --> 00:42:07,440
Evokes memories in my old head.

376
00:42:08,651 --> 00:42:09,859
Minister.

377
00:42:10,110 --> 00:42:14,073
Consult the registers
about... What's the name?

378
00:42:14,157 --> 00:42:19,119
Marie Charles Ferdinand Walsin
Esterhazy, 74th Infantry.

379
00:42:20,664 --> 00:42:23,749
- How will you proceed?
- It's not easy.

380
00:42:23,917 --> 00:42:27,671
Except for the pictures,
we have an unsent telegram

381
00:42:27,797 --> 00:42:30,465
and unusable chatter of an agent in Berlin.

382
00:42:31,258 --> 00:42:34,176
So... You need to find the evidence.

383
00:42:34,262 --> 00:42:37,055
- Shall we open an inquiry?
- Sure.

384
00:42:37,223 --> 00:42:40,183
Boisdeffre doesn't want
more Dreyfus scandals.

385
00:42:40,268 --> 00:42:42,561
The scandal is not to punish him.

386
00:42:43,688 --> 00:42:47,859
Minister,
Esterhazy has written twice this summer.

387
00:42:47,943 --> 00:42:49,151
Well, look at that!

388
00:42:52,113 --> 00:42:57,367
"I request a transfer from Rouen
to the General Staff of Paris."

389
00:42:58,412 --> 00:43:01,831
- The impudence!
- He wants to discover secrets

390
00:43:01,916 --> 00:43:05,960
- and make a lot of money. Can I have them?
- Yes.

391
00:43:08,047 --> 00:43:09,089
Thank you.

392
00:44:31,176 --> 00:44:34,177
Name and occupation.

393
00:44:34,387 --> 00:44:39,142
Alphonse Bertillon, head of the
Judicial Identity Service.

394
00:44:39,226 --> 00:44:41,478
You are a handwriting expert.

395
00:44:42,688 --> 00:44:46,775
You compared the note
addressed to the foreign embassy

396
00:44:46,901 --> 00:44:48,777
- with the defendant's handwriting.
- Yes.

397
00:44:48,862 --> 00:44:52,573
You have no doubt that they
are written by the same person.

398
00:44:52,657 --> 00:44:54,616
I have no doubt.

399
00:44:54,700 --> 00:44:59,663
There are similarities, but also
many differences. The O's, the double S's.

400
00:44:59,748 --> 00:45:03,875
- You say so yourself.
- Yes, but they're deliberate.

401
00:45:04,086 --> 00:45:07,964
It's a self-forgery operation.

402
00:45:08,090 --> 00:45:13,302
The note was written
on extremely thin paper.

403
00:45:13,388 --> 00:45:19,267
Like this one. You don't write letters
on paper like this. It allows...

404
00:45:19,351 --> 00:45:23,688
I'm sorry, may I?
Allows to have perfect transparency.

405
00:45:23,856 --> 00:45:29,070
So to use a model under
which I could copy it.

406
00:45:30,155 --> 00:45:33,115
There is one word in particular.

407
00:45:33,241 --> 00:45:36,159
That's the word "interest."

408
00:45:37,078 --> 00:45:42,960
I've reproduced it
with a five millimetre grid

409
00:45:43,043 --> 00:45:47,714
and a 12.5 millimeter template.
Notice the overlapping edges.

410
00:45:47,797 --> 00:45:53,052
It's an overlapping of letters
by 1.25 millimeter.

411
00:45:53,179 --> 00:45:58,391
Here we see an even more
detailed enlargement of the word.

412
00:45:58,476 --> 00:46:02,604
What do we notice?
Every time you see a discrepancy.

413
00:46:02,690 --> 00:46:06,776
The difference is 1.25 millimeters.

414
00:46:06,860 --> 00:46:09,779
It's impossible for a hand

415
00:46:09,863 --> 00:46:14,868
which performs natural handwriting
to reproduce an identical track.

416
00:46:14,952 --> 00:46:17,036
It's a case of one in a million.

417
00:46:17,246 --> 00:46:22,083
So I say that Dreyfus
forged the handwriting

418
00:46:22,169 --> 00:46:24,502
in case it would be discovered...

419
00:46:24,629 --> 00:46:28,715
You're saying I am guilty
because the handwriting is mine.

420
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:29,967
Yes.

421
00:46:30,051 --> 00:46:33,471
But I'm equally guilty
if the handwriting isn't mine.

422
00:46:33,554 --> 00:46:35,223
Yes.

423
00:46:35,932 --> 00:46:38,850
Major, what will you tell the minister?

424
00:46:39,144 --> 00:46:42,563
The chances of conviction
are not more than 50%.

425
00:46:42,647 --> 00:46:44,190
Why?

426
00:46:44,359 --> 00:46:47,903
What motive could he have?
It can't be money.

427
00:46:49,030 --> 00:46:52,657
His personal resources are
20 times a captain's pay.

428
00:46:53,576 --> 00:46:55,869
You haven't found a motive.

429
00:46:56,162 --> 00:47:00,707
You should see the evidence
we have against that Jew.

430
00:47:01,959 --> 00:47:06,172
In a letter, an officer
calls him "that scumbag D."

431
00:47:06,340 --> 00:47:11,218
- "Scoundrel D." Then use it.
- Betray our secret source?

432
00:47:11,346 --> 00:47:16,892
- They are closed hearings.
- Dreyfus and his lawyer are here.

433
00:47:17,059 --> 00:47:21,896
What if I describe the contents
of our files in court?

434
00:47:22,023 --> 00:47:24,649
You've already given your statement.

435
00:47:24,775 --> 00:47:28,883
- If you spoke to the President of the Court?
- With all due respect,

436
00:47:28,946 --> 00:47:31,824
I'm here to observe,
not to intervene.

437
00:47:31,907 --> 00:47:34,868
Then I'll take care of it.

438
00:47:37,204 --> 00:47:43,335
The Court has been informed that
your deposition was incomplete.

439
00:47:43,420 --> 00:47:47,214
I didn't want to reveal
any secret information.

440
00:47:47,299 --> 00:47:51,719
- Now you can reveal it.
- If the court insists, I will.

441
00:47:52,930 --> 00:47:56,098
In March, a highly respected person...

442
00:47:56,850 --> 00:48:02,106
An extremely estimable person
informed us of a traitor

443
00:48:02,190 --> 00:48:05,525
who was transmitting secrets
to a foreign power.

444
00:48:05,985 --> 00:48:09,864
In June, he reiterated the report
in a more precise fashion.

445
00:48:11,199 --> 00:48:13,076
Carry on, Major.

446
00:48:13,368 --> 00:48:16,495
The traitor he named is that man.

447
00:48:17,664 --> 00:48:19,414
Stay calm.

448
00:48:20,167 --> 00:48:22,377
- Do you swear this is true?
- I swear.

449
00:48:22,503 --> 00:48:25,881
The statement has no value
without the witness.

450
00:48:25,964 --> 00:48:28,716
Can you state the name?

451
00:48:28,801 --> 00:48:32,387
- Impossible.
- Secrets are well guarded here.

452
00:48:32,597 --> 00:48:36,266
An officer has secrets
that not even his kepi knows.

453
00:48:37,184 --> 00:48:39,728
Major Henry concluded
the deposition thus.

454
00:48:40,354 --> 00:48:42,481
Was it decisive?

455
00:48:43,525 --> 00:48:48,029
- It certainly was spectacular.
- But not decisive.

456
00:48:49,115 --> 00:48:50,739
He was speaking from hearsay.

457
00:48:56,080 --> 00:49:01,501
The Statistics section has a file
containing evidence against Dreyfus.

458
00:49:02,711 --> 00:49:05,422
According to them,
the judges should see it.

459
00:49:08,510 --> 00:49:10,177
I agree.

460
00:49:10,636 --> 00:49:14,181
Of course Dreyfus and
his lawyer can't see it.

461
00:49:14,266 --> 00:49:18,811
- It will be reserved for judges.
- That's a breach of procedure.

462
00:49:18,937 --> 00:49:23,190
Theoretically, yes, but it's vital
that the judges see it.

463
00:49:24,235 --> 00:49:28,487
In the name of truth and justice.

464
00:49:29,574 --> 00:49:31,158
You understand, Major Picquart?

465
00:49:45,799 --> 00:49:47,425
Mr. Minister.

466
00:50:05,945 --> 00:50:07,739
Colonel.

467
00:50:22,796 --> 00:50:25,506
"In the name of the French people,"

468
00:50:26,216 --> 00:50:30,471
The first War Council of the
military government of Paris

469
00:50:30,679 --> 00:50:32,515
has issued the following judgment.

470
00:50:33,266 --> 00:50:39,938
Today, December 22, 1894,
the first War Council of Paris,

471
00:50:40,189 --> 00:50:43,859
having heard the indictments and
conclusions of the government commissioner,

472
00:50:43,943 --> 00:50:47,070
declares the defendant Dreyfus Alfred,

473
00:50:47,405 --> 00:50:50,282
Captain of the 14th Artillery Regiment,

474
00:50:50,535 --> 00:50:55,079
intern at the Joint Chiefs,
guilty as charged.

475
00:50:55,580 --> 00:51:01,210
In 1894 he passed on
to agents of a foreign power

476
00:51:01,797 --> 00:51:07,050
classified or confidential documents
regarding national defense.

477
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:13,099
He also exchanged
information with this power

478
00:51:13,308 --> 00:51:18,437
"to provide such power with
the means to perform hostile acts."

479
00:51:52,015 --> 00:51:54,057
I thought you'd forgotten about me.

480
00:51:57,312 --> 00:52:00,689
- Because you forgot me.
- Absolutely not.

481
00:52:02,943 --> 00:52:04,777
Philippe won't be back tonight.

482
00:52:05,404 --> 00:52:07,322
- Remember?
- Of course, my dear.

483
00:52:08,116 --> 00:52:10,492
I've been thinking about it for weeks.

484
00:52:11,201 --> 00:52:14,037
- I'll make you dinner.
- You're kind.

485
00:53:11,515 --> 00:53:16,187
"What a horrible nightmare I've been living
for almost two years, my dear Lucie."

486
00:53:16,270 --> 00:53:20,231
The guards are forbidden
to speak to me.

487
00:53:20,483 --> 00:53:23,402
The days go by
without me talking to anyone.

488
00:53:25,405 --> 00:53:29,407
The isolation is such that it
feels like I am buried alive.

489
00:53:31,578 --> 00:53:36,082
If it were just for me, I would have
already slipped into the grave.

490
00:53:36,416 --> 00:53:41,754
But it's not just about my life,
but my honor,

491
00:53:42,006 --> 00:53:46,260
the honor of us all,
of our children's lives.

492
00:53:46,676 --> 00:53:52,432
Lately they've been grilling me
every night. I don't know why.

493
00:53:53,309 --> 00:53:55,915
It's not a precautionary measure.

494
00:53:56,478 --> 00:53:59,085
It's a form of hatred.

495
00:53:59,399 --> 00:54:01,964
"It's a kind of torture."

496
00:54:18,586 --> 00:54:20,315
Georges!

497
00:54:22,590 --> 00:54:24,590
Sorry, I couldn't sleep.

498
00:54:27,053 --> 00:54:29,137
- How long have you been there?
- Quite a while.

499
00:54:32,225 --> 00:54:36,228
Are those letters? Love letters?

500
00:54:38,065 --> 00:54:42,651
It doesn't matter.
I can't hope for fidelity.

501
00:54:42,736 --> 00:54:44,883
It's nothing, I assure you.

502
00:54:45,614 --> 00:54:48,867
- Is it just work?
- Yes, it's just work.

503
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:00,045
Hurry up.

504
00:55:02,049 --> 00:55:03,924
Fifteen, Eight.

505
00:55:04,634 --> 00:55:06,010
Sir.

506
00:55:13,434 --> 00:55:15,603
- Colonel Picquart.
- Bertillon.

507
00:55:15,771 --> 00:55:18,732
I replaced Sandherr
at the Statistics section.

508
00:55:18,816 --> 00:55:20,066
I know.

509
00:55:20,151 --> 00:55:22,026
What can I do for you?

510
00:55:25,490 --> 00:55:29,576
I have these papers.
I'd like to know what you think.

511
00:55:29,660 --> 00:55:33,706
- I never give an immediate opinion.
- Maybe in this case you will.

512
00:56:39,817 --> 00:56:41,965
Yes, it looks the same.

513
00:56:44,573 --> 00:56:45,617
Yes.

514
00:56:59,004 --> 00:57:00,880
Of course!

515
00:57:01,089 --> 00:57:03,758
It's the same, yes.

516
00:57:06,138 --> 00:57:07,930
Well?

517
00:57:08,639 --> 00:57:09,890
Are they the same?

518
00:57:10,475 --> 00:57:14,644
The handwriting is identical
to the note of Dreyfus.

519
00:57:15,521 --> 00:57:18,357
Would you be willing
to state that in writing?

520
00:57:18,442 --> 00:57:20,902
Of course, if you wish.

521
00:57:21,527 --> 00:57:25,490
What if I told you that
this wasn't written by Dreyfus?

522
00:57:26,826 --> 00:57:31,287
I'd say that the Jews
have taught someone to write

523
00:57:31,372 --> 00:57:33,956
with the handwriting of Dreyfus.

524
00:57:42,634 --> 00:57:45,302
I want to see the Dreyfus file.

525
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,307
- Major Henry has it.
- He is on leave.

526
00:57:50,392 --> 00:57:51,767
Indeed.

527
00:57:52,394 --> 00:57:53,853
Then give it to me.

528
00:57:55,314 --> 00:57:58,482
Won't you wait for the major to return?

529
00:57:58,567 --> 00:58:02,571
Why are you questioning my orders?
Find the file.

530
00:59:02,218 --> 00:59:03,844
- Is that all?
- Yes.

531
00:59:03,928 --> 00:59:06,763
The War Council hasn't touched it since.

532
00:59:39,090 --> 00:59:41,175
"My dear friend..."

533
00:59:43,051 --> 00:59:46,659
I enclose twelve guiding plans for Nice

534
00:59:46,681 --> 00:59:49,829
that that scumbag D gave to me for you.

535
00:59:50,768 --> 00:59:56,523
He said he'll do his best
to please you. Alexandrine?

536
00:59:59,611 --> 01:00:01,946
"Don't fuck too much."

537
01:00:19,508 --> 01:00:21,675
I'd like to talk to you.

538
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,282
- Is it urgent?
- If it's not too much trouble.

539
01:00:24,304 --> 01:00:26,389
Leave us.

540
01:00:29,351 --> 01:00:34,188
- Thank you for your time.
- Always a pleasure, Picquart.

541
01:00:34,272 --> 01:00:38,817
But I'm busy with the preparations
for the Tsar's visit.

542
01:00:38,985 --> 01:00:40,946
What's so urgent?

543
01:00:41,029 --> 01:00:43,657
The case I told you about days ago.

544
01:00:43,824 --> 01:00:45,408
Major Esterhazy.

545
01:00:46,994 --> 01:00:48,577
Esterhazy?

546
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:50,372
Can I make some room?

547
01:00:50,455 --> 01:00:52,624
- Sure.
- Thank you.

548
01:01:03,053 --> 01:01:05,679
You know these already.

549
01:01:13,023 --> 01:01:15,606
Goodness gracious! What is all this?

550
01:01:16,150 --> 01:01:20,737
We have a serious problem, General.
The sooner we solve it, the better.

551
01:01:20,988 --> 01:01:26,452
Esterhazy wrote to get a transfer.
I got them from the minister.

552
01:01:26,994 --> 01:01:30,622
I noticed the resemblance of the
handwriting with the document

553
01:01:30,706 --> 01:01:33,354
which has proven Dreyfus guilty.

554
01:01:36,004 --> 01:01:38,255
I showed them to Bertillon,
the graphologist.

555
01:01:38,340 --> 01:01:40,507
- Remember?
- Yes.

556
01:01:40,592 --> 01:01:42,969
It confirms that
the handwriting is identical.

557
01:01:45,639 --> 01:01:50,393
I've reviewed the secret file
of the evidence provided to the judges

558
01:01:50,478 --> 01:01:53,062
who presided over the court-martial.

559
01:01:53,146 --> 01:01:54,731
No, wait.

560
01:01:55,399 --> 01:02:00,362
- The secret file still exists?
- Yes, here it is.

561
01:02:03,992 --> 01:02:08,037
I was surprised
by the fragility of this evidence.

562
01:02:08,830 --> 01:02:14,043
Only one letter alludes to Dreyfus
and it also has the initial "D."

563
01:02:20,008 --> 01:02:22,719
All this should have been destroyed.

564
01:02:24,638 --> 01:02:28,934
Mercier had told Sandherr
to get rid of it after the trial.

565
01:02:29,769 --> 01:02:31,061
He didn't.

566
01:02:32,230 --> 01:02:37,109
But perhaps the main problem
is not the existence of the file.

567
01:02:38,237 --> 01:02:39,779
What are you saying?

568
01:02:40,489 --> 01:02:43,741
It's the note, the handwriting.

569
01:02:45,369 --> 01:02:46,786
Dreyfus is innocent.

570
01:02:52,626 --> 01:02:54,878
Go to General Gonse.

571
01:02:55,921 --> 01:02:58,214
He's the head of the secret service.

572
01:02:58,382 --> 01:03:00,884
You should have turned to him
from the start.

573
01:03:02,679 --> 01:03:03,929
Indeed, General.

574
01:03:04,013 --> 01:03:07,099
But in the interest of the army
we must act now.

575
01:03:08,184 --> 01:03:13,398
I know what the army's interest is.
Inform General Gonse.

576
01:03:13,524 --> 01:03:16,025
He's in his country house on leave.

577
01:03:21,282 --> 01:03:22,407
General.

578
01:03:24,201 --> 01:03:25,451
Captain!

579
01:03:27,872 --> 01:03:29,706
I thought I made myself clear.

580
01:03:31,332 --> 01:03:34,502
I don't want another Dreyfus affair.

581
01:03:35,547 --> 01:03:39,299
This is not another Dreyfus affair,
it's the same one.

582
01:03:56,610 --> 01:03:58,361
Picquart!

583
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:02,407
- Welcome to the countryside.
- General.

584
01:04:02,492 --> 01:04:04,118
What brings you here?

585
01:04:04,494 --> 01:04:06,745
Come on. Shall we go?

586
01:04:11,834 --> 01:04:14,754
So we haven't arrested
the real culprit.

587
01:04:15,506 --> 01:04:16,965
I'm afraid not.

588
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:24,680
The note could only have been written
by an artillery officer

589
01:04:24,806 --> 01:04:29,561
who knows the four departments.
It can't be Esterhazy.

590
01:04:30,271 --> 01:04:31,772
It's Dreyfus.

591
01:04:32,356 --> 01:04:35,483
That was our mistake from the start.

592
01:04:35,902 --> 01:04:41,031
If you look closely,
you'll find they were just notes.

593
01:04:41,491 --> 01:04:45,452
One about the cannon, one about the troops
and one about Madagascar.

594
01:04:46,245 --> 01:04:49,373
They weren't official documents.
No, thank you.

595
01:04:49,458 --> 01:04:54,337
It was a bunch of gossip
by a man thirsty for money.

596
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:58,216
It's not Dreyfus, it's Esterhazy.

597
01:05:05,391 --> 01:05:07,350
I can make a suggestion,
dear Picquart?

598
01:05:07,851 --> 01:05:09,185
Please do.

599
01:05:09,812 --> 01:05:11,522
Forget the note.

600
01:05:14,025 --> 01:05:17,902
- I beg your pardon?
- Investigate Esterhazy, if you will.

601
01:05:18,238 --> 01:05:24,201
- But leave out the note.
- It's the evidence against Esterhazy.

602
01:05:24,285 --> 01:05:28,956
A war council has decided
who wrote it. The case is closed.

603
01:05:29,082 --> 01:05:32,002
And if we found out
that Esterhazy is the traitor?

604
01:05:32,086 --> 01:05:34,045
We won't find out.

605
01:05:34,254 --> 01:05:37,256
The case is closed
for the reason I just mentioned.

606
01:05:37,508 --> 01:05:39,385
We want it closed.

607
01:05:39,468 --> 01:05:42,763
But the Dreyfus family doesn't accept it.

608
01:05:43,264 --> 01:05:47,602
One leak and they'll accuse
the army of having concealed the truth.

609
01:05:49,729 --> 01:05:51,229
What do you propose?

610
01:05:53,026 --> 01:05:56,943
- Put Dreyfus on trial again.
- Another trial?

611
01:05:57,029 --> 01:05:59,154
- Are you crazy?
- Is that inconceivable?

612
01:05:59,363 --> 01:06:04,911
Of course. Everyone would wonder why
such a mistake has been made!

613
01:06:04,996 --> 01:06:07,164
They'll get at the secret file.
It's unthinkable.

614
01:06:07,248 --> 01:06:08,665
Why?

615
01:06:09,123 --> 01:06:11,542
It would embarrass us!

616
01:06:12,878 --> 01:06:17,965
I don't understand you. We know
your opinion about the chosen race.

617
01:06:18,051 --> 01:06:21,135
What do you care
if a Jew is being held on an island?

618
01:06:21,220 --> 01:06:23,221
He's innocent.

619
01:06:27,186 --> 01:06:29,061
How sentimental you are!

620
01:06:30,105 --> 01:06:33,984
Lambs, newborn kittens and Dreyfus.
They're all innocent.

621
01:06:34,819 --> 01:06:38,780
You talk as if I feel affection
for him, but it's not like that.

622
01:06:39,156 --> 01:06:43,535
I'd rather he was guilty,
but the traitor is Esterhazy.

623
01:06:43,702 --> 01:06:46,747
Maybe it's Esterhazy or maybe not.

624
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:50,417
If you don't say anything,
no one will ever know.

625
01:06:50,877 --> 01:06:52,877
That's an abominable suggestion.

626
01:06:53,672 --> 01:06:55,715
Should I take this secret to the grave?

627
01:06:55,798 --> 01:06:57,132
Of course!

628
01:06:57,551 --> 01:07:00,470
That is the essence of our profession.

629
01:07:02,097 --> 01:07:04,348
I have nothing more to add on the matter.

630
01:07:07,061 --> 01:07:10,981
Don't bring up Dreyfus. That's an order.

631
01:07:16,905 --> 01:07:18,114
Enter.

632
01:07:19,866 --> 01:07:23,035
- Colonel, I'm leaving.
- Good night.

633
01:07:25,455 --> 01:07:28,916
- I will lock the doors.
- Leave the keys, I'll do it.

634
01:07:29,711 --> 01:07:34,505
- If you want, I can stay.
- No, not necessary; Just leave me your keys.

635
01:08:12,381 --> 01:08:14,297
"The request..."

636
01:08:14,464 --> 01:08:19,010
I got myself a cartridge
for the Lebel rifle. Dubois.

637
01:08:29,105 --> 01:08:33,402
My dear sodomite,
I saw Mr. Dubois this morning.

638
01:08:34,820 --> 01:08:37,321
"We need to meet today."

639
01:08:49,501 --> 01:08:51,753
Find anything interesting?

640
01:08:52,713 --> 01:08:55,757
- Who's Dubois?
- Jacques Dubois.

641
01:08:56,468 --> 01:08:59,928
He works in a printing house at
the service of the War Ministry.

642
01:09:00,555 --> 01:09:06,477
So Schwartzkoppen's note that
you said makes allusion to Dreyfus

643
01:09:06,644 --> 01:09:09,147
"I enclose twelve guiding plans for Nice

644
01:09:09,230 --> 01:09:11,775
that that scumbag D gave to me for you."

645
01:09:16,281 --> 01:09:19,283
is actually hinting at Dubois?

646
01:09:19,492 --> 01:09:22,597
- Maybe.
- What do you mean "maybe"?

647
01:09:23,495 --> 01:09:26,580
Who could provide better plans for Nice?

648
01:09:26,581 --> 01:09:31,815
Dreyfus? Or Dubois who knows the
German and Italian military personnel?

649
01:09:33,465 --> 01:09:37,218
And this? It's your handwriting.

650
01:09:38,262 --> 01:09:43,140
Here you declare to the judges that
a Spanish military attaché told you

651
01:09:43,225 --> 01:09:45,267
that there was a traitor
in the Joint Chiefs.

652
01:09:45,685 --> 01:09:47,437
That's right.

653
01:09:49,023 --> 01:09:52,441
"The Germans have an officer
informing them.

654
01:09:52,527 --> 01:09:56,822
Find him, Henry.
If I knew the name, I would tell you."

655
01:09:57,866 --> 01:10:02,786
Come on! How can that come
from the mouth of a Spanish marquis?

656
01:10:02,871 --> 01:10:04,705
I paraphrased.

657
01:10:05,414 --> 01:10:10,545
So if I asked the Marquis
if he said those things,

658
01:10:11,380 --> 01:10:15,340
- would he confirm it?
- No, he'd lie like everybody else.

659
01:10:15,467 --> 01:10:18,970
Stop it, this file is fake.

660
01:10:19,137 --> 01:10:22,557
Have you told General Gonse about this?

661
01:10:23,641 --> 01:10:28,145
- I told him Dreyfus is innocent.
- What did he say?

662
01:10:29,231 --> 01:10:32,943
- He said to let it go.
- Then let it go.

663
01:10:33,777 --> 01:10:38,073
They're the bosses.
We execute orders or we're nothing.

664
01:10:38,658 --> 01:10:41,786
I don't know if Dreyfus is innocent
and I don't give a damn.

665
01:10:42,162 --> 01:10:44,914
If you order me to kill, I will.

666
01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:49,084
If you then tell me it was
the wrong person, it will grieve me.

667
01:10:49,211 --> 01:10:52,088
But it's not my fault, it's the army.

668
01:10:52,924 --> 01:10:56,343
Maybe it's your army,
but it's not mine.

669
01:10:58,763 --> 01:11:00,430
Good night, Major.

670
01:11:00,889 --> 01:11:02,975
Good night.

671
01:11:07,647 --> 01:11:09,732
Colonel.

672
01:11:39,347 --> 01:11:42,182
- That's a great idea.
- I'll do what I can.

673
01:11:42,432 --> 01:11:46,271
- Don't compromise the source.
- They won't know anything.

674
01:11:50,567 --> 01:11:52,942
You took your time!

675
01:11:53,404 --> 01:11:57,365
- Did we have an appointment?
- No, we didn't.

676
01:11:57,575 --> 01:12:01,661
- I stopped by.
- You've never done this before.

677
01:12:02,246 --> 01:12:04,539
I should have done it more often.

678
01:12:05,332 --> 01:12:08,252
It's a small, very quiet section.

679
01:12:09,962 --> 01:12:13,674
- Where's the Dreyfus file?
- In the safe.

680
01:12:14,050 --> 01:12:16,344
Be nice, give it to me.

681
01:12:30,943 --> 01:12:37,323
Thank you. From now on if you don't have
any objections, I'll take care of it.

682
01:12:38,033 --> 01:12:40,703
- May I know why?
- No.

683
01:12:42,455 --> 01:12:44,164
- Is it all there?
- Of course it is.

684
01:12:44,249 --> 01:12:45,958
- Do you have copies?
- No.

685
01:12:46,833 --> 01:12:48,043
Good.

686
01:12:48,378 --> 01:12:52,841
Major Henry will deliver
Mrs. Bastian's material to me.

687
01:12:55,051 --> 01:12:57,553
You can change the procedure,
not the facts.

688
01:12:57,721 --> 01:13:01,517
It is normal that it is delivered
to the head of the secret service.

689
01:13:02,768 --> 01:13:05,229
- Goodbye.
- General.

690
01:14:08,963 --> 01:14:11,756
You look lovely. Where is Philippe?

691
01:14:12,091 --> 01:14:16,386
A crisis at the ministry.
He'll be here for the second part.

692
01:14:16,805 --> 01:14:20,140
What happened to you?
We haven't seen you in a long time.

693
01:14:20,808 --> 01:14:23,184
The Colonel doesn't see any of us anymore.

694
01:14:23,894 --> 01:14:26,814
- He attends other spheres.
- No.

695
01:14:26,940 --> 01:14:29,692
No champagne? Then it's serious.

696
01:14:29,859 --> 01:14:34,404
- What's the matter, Georges?
- Your husband's here.

697
01:14:35,657 --> 01:14:39,410
Forgive me for being late,
but it was a state business.

698
01:14:39,537 --> 01:14:42,205
Picquart, I'm glad to see you.

699
01:14:42,539 --> 01:14:45,666
I don't suppose you have read the paper.

700
01:14:47,085 --> 01:14:50,838
Look, the copy
of the Dreyfus note.

701
01:14:51,008 --> 01:14:55,803
We can finally see him.
Damned reporters!

702
01:14:55,886 --> 01:14:58,556
- Is it important?
- Yes, it is.

703
01:14:58,724 --> 01:15:01,016
A few heads will roll for sure.

704
01:15:01,268 --> 01:15:05,397
"The evidence. The copy
of the ntoe written by Dreyfus."

705
01:15:05,939 --> 01:15:10,776
Colonel, you command a ship
that travels everywhere.

706
01:15:12,237 --> 01:15:16,033
You're right, it's an
outrageous violation of state secrets.

707
01:15:17,033 --> 01:15:18,701
This doesn't stop here.

708
01:15:19,286 --> 01:15:22,790
We have an anonymous letter.

709
01:15:24,126 --> 01:15:30,004
It warns us that Esterhazy will be
reported to the Chamber of Deputies

710
01:15:30,257 --> 01:15:33,842
as Dreyfus' accomplice. What do you think?

711
01:15:34,594 --> 01:15:40,100
I'm dismayed, but... Someone's
trying to sabotage my investigation.

712
01:15:40,267 --> 01:15:42,311
- Picquart!
- Control yourselves.

713
01:15:42,395 --> 01:15:44,228
This is an intolerable accusation!

714
01:15:44,772 --> 01:15:49,109
Are you obsessed with the idea
to replace Dreyfus with Esterhazy?

715
01:15:49,192 --> 01:15:53,780
Nothing will stop you. I should
arrest you for gross negligence!

716
01:15:53,865 --> 01:15:58,743
This is a bad situation, Picquart.
You disappoint me.

717
01:15:59,161 --> 01:16:03,354
I haven't told anyone about the
investigation and I'm not obsessed.

718
01:16:03,375 --> 01:16:06,043
I have a lead on Esterhazy.

719
01:16:06,127 --> 01:16:12,383
What would you do if you had proof
that Dreyfus was a spy?

720
01:16:12,508 --> 01:16:17,763
If it was assured, I'd accept it.
But there is no such proof.

721
01:16:21,394 --> 01:16:28,317
We intercepted a recent letter
of Major Panizzardi

722
01:16:28,902 --> 01:16:31,235
to Colonel Schwartzkoppen.

723
01:16:31,362 --> 01:16:33,239
Here's the passage we're interested in.

724
01:16:33,447 --> 01:16:38,869
"I read that a congressman is going
to officially question Dreyfus."

725
01:16:39,704 --> 01:16:43,666
If in Rome they should ask me for
explanations, I'll say

726
01:16:43,751 --> 01:16:48,338
that I never had any relationship
with that Jew, of course.

727
01:16:49,298 --> 01:16:52,217
If they ask you, you'll say the same.

728
01:16:52,343 --> 01:16:57,598
No one can ever know
what happened to him.

729
01:17:00,289 --> 01:17:01,790
So... what do you say?

730
01:17:02,646 --> 01:17:05,313
- Can I see?
- No.

731
01:17:09,278 --> 01:17:11,195
When did it arrive?

732
01:17:11,572 --> 01:17:14,156
Major Henry received it two weeks ago.

733
01:17:14,449 --> 01:17:18,996
I expect you don't doubt
Major Henry's integrity.

734
01:17:20,373 --> 01:17:25,043
If you are certain that the document
is authentic, I won't do it.

735
01:17:25,126 --> 01:17:30,924
- You admit Dreyfus is guilty?
- If the document is genuine, yes.

736
01:17:31,467 --> 01:17:33,968
Given your state of service

737
01:17:34,137 --> 01:17:38,264
we won't take any
disciplinary action against you.

738
01:17:38,975 --> 01:17:41,018
However, we demand

739
01:17:41,103 --> 01:17:46,107
that you entrust us with the documents
of your investigation into Esterhazy.

740
01:17:47,192 --> 01:17:50,986
You will leave Paris
and begin a tour of inspection

741
01:17:51,113 --> 01:17:54,031
of the safety measures
in the Eastern garrisons.

742
01:17:55,576 --> 01:18:00,747
- You're removing me forever?
- No, you'll only be gone a few days.

743
01:18:35,826 --> 01:18:38,411
Mister? Who are you looking for?

744
01:18:38,580 --> 01:18:40,831
- Lawyer Leblois.
- I've seen you before.

745
01:18:41,833 --> 01:18:43,793
You are Colonel Picquart.

746
01:18:44,293 --> 01:18:45,794
Excuse me.

747
01:19:15,660 --> 01:19:18,204
- Georges!
- Good day, Martha.

748
01:19:18,789 --> 01:19:20,873
Come on in.

749
01:19:30,509 --> 01:19:32,468
Don't you eat in the army?

750
01:19:34,472 --> 01:19:39,684
In Africa the worst thing is the food.
I've missed the French cuisine.

751
01:19:42,022 --> 01:19:43,856
It was delicious. Thank you.

752
01:19:44,441 --> 01:19:48,736
- You want to stay here?
- If I can. Just for one night.

753
01:19:49,030 --> 01:19:51,197
You don't have the apartment anymore?

754
01:19:51,574 --> 01:19:54,116
- I don't want to go there.
- Why not?

755
01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:58,580
- I'm afraid it's being watched.
- By who?

756
01:20:01,167 --> 01:20:05,002
You see those two?
They're plainclothes cops.

757
01:20:05,088 --> 01:20:07,172
How do you know that?

758
01:20:08,716 --> 01:20:10,801
They worked for me.

759
01:20:12,762 --> 01:20:15,431
The generals understood
that I wouldn't keep quiet.

760
01:20:16,141 --> 01:20:21,562
So they sent me on an
inspection at the Somme, then Nice.

761
01:20:21,897 --> 01:20:25,150
Later in Marseille, Algiers and Tunisia.

762
01:20:26,652 --> 01:20:29,445
I didn't even have time
to stop at my house.

763
01:20:32,991 --> 01:20:36,661
- I ended up in an African regiment.
- You could have told us.

764
01:20:36,745 --> 01:20:40,289
They intercept my correspondence
and I'm being followed.

765
01:20:42,336 --> 01:20:47,631
Last week they wanted to send me
to Tripoli. A suicide mission.

766
01:20:48,425 --> 01:20:49,799
My God!

767
01:20:52,722 --> 01:20:56,724
So I realized I had to come back
to Paris at any cost.

768
01:20:58,643 --> 01:21:00,686
- Can you prove any of this?
- Of course.

769
01:21:00,770 --> 01:21:02,562
You have to make it public.

770
01:21:11,448 --> 01:21:13,868
It's hard for me, you know.

771
01:21:14,911 --> 01:21:17,162
Since I was 18,
the army is my life.

772
01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:23,293
- I'd like to avoid a scandal.
- But it's already a scandal.

773
01:21:26,298 --> 01:21:30,343
- One question!
- Do you think Dreyfus is innocent?

774
01:21:30,511 --> 01:21:33,762
Major Esterhazy says
that you work for the Jews.

775
01:21:34,932 --> 01:21:39,894
I am General de Pellieux,
I command the Seine department.

776
01:21:40,438 --> 01:21:45,400
I've been tasked to investigate
the evidence you have collected

777
01:21:45,485 --> 01:21:47,695
regarding Major Esterhazy.

778
01:21:48,488 --> 01:21:51,323
- Do you understand?
- Yes, General.

779
01:21:53,117 --> 01:21:55,452
- Do you recognize this?
- Yes.

780
01:21:55,536 --> 01:21:59,811
It's the telegram written to Esterhazy
that Schwartzkoppen never sent.

781
01:21:59,917 --> 01:22:02,835
Who gave it to Captain Lauth
to put it back together?

782
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:04,169
I did.

783
01:22:04,671 --> 01:22:07,590
There's no evidence
it came from the embassy.

784
01:22:08,217 --> 01:22:12,636
- You may have added it to the papers.
- Yes, but I didn't.

785
01:22:13,012 --> 01:22:15,682
Did you know it was forged?

786
01:22:15,891 --> 01:22:21,938
They canceled the address
and added Esterhazy's name.

787
01:22:22,524 --> 01:22:24,983
That happened after I left.

788
01:22:25,401 --> 01:22:29,655
- You faked it.
- Why would I do that?

789
01:22:29,741 --> 01:22:33,659
You work for a Jewish union
that wants Dreyfus released.

790
01:22:34,245 --> 01:22:37,204
You manufactured the evidence
to blame Esterhazy.

791
01:22:37,289 --> 01:22:38,706
No need.

792
01:22:38,915 --> 01:22:41,625
The note is proof of his guilt.

793
01:22:41,711 --> 01:22:43,878
Yes, the note!

794
01:22:44,588 --> 01:22:47,172
I'm glad you mention it.

795
01:22:47,759 --> 01:22:50,886
- Did you send a copy to "Le Matin"?
- No.

796
01:22:52,180 --> 01:22:55,557
- Did you give information to the press?
- No.

797
01:22:56,601 --> 01:23:00,646
Did you speak to Leblois
about the Esterhazy investigation?

798
01:23:01,731 --> 01:23:04,692
- Yes, but I can explain.
- You don't have to.

799
01:23:05,152 --> 01:23:08,821
Disclosing confidential
information is a crime.

800
01:23:08,906 --> 01:23:13,368
Leblois told a member of the
Senate who reported to the government.

801
01:23:13,577 --> 01:23:17,039
- I don't know how it got to the press.
- You have no idea!

802
01:23:17,539 --> 01:23:23,046
How much information
did you reveal to Mrs. Monnier?

803
01:23:24,422 --> 01:23:25,465
Mrs. Monnier?

804
01:23:25,548 --> 01:23:29,591
The wife of Philippe Monnier
of Foreign Affairs.

805
01:23:29,677 --> 01:23:31,971
- It's not about her.
- That is not for you to judge.

806
01:23:34,474 --> 01:23:36,392
Do you recognize these?

807
01:23:37,769 --> 01:23:40,396
They are personal letters
stolen from my house!

808
01:23:40,480 --> 01:23:45,151
- It proves the connection with the lady.
- You searched my apartment!

809
01:23:45,236 --> 01:23:49,947
Esterhazy saw some documents
of your investigation into him.

810
01:23:50,075 --> 01:23:55,119
Kept in the house.
He got them from a woman wearing a veil.

811
01:23:55,288 --> 01:23:58,457
- We think it's Mrs. Monnier.
- Was she wearing a veil?

812
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:03,461
- This is no laughing matter.
- It's a low-level melodrama.

813
01:24:03,963 --> 01:24:08,759
- Can we talk about essential facts?
- Don't be impertinent.

814
01:24:08,845 --> 01:24:12,513
Esterhazy's handwriting
is identical to that on the note.

815
01:24:12,639 --> 01:24:14,223
We are investigating you!

816
01:24:14,307 --> 01:24:18,311
The Dreyfus file contained false evidence.

817
01:24:18,395 --> 01:24:20,354
It's not relevant.

818
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:21,939
- Am I under arrest?
- Not yet.

819
01:24:22,065 --> 01:24:27,822
Forgive me, but your investigation
is a farce and I don't want any part of it.

820
01:24:28,365 --> 01:24:30,116
Have a seat.

821
01:24:31,617 --> 01:24:33,702
We're not done.

822
01:24:34,370 --> 01:24:38,457
Colonel. Colonel!

823
01:25:05,111 --> 01:25:07,196
Thank you.

824
01:26:48,470 --> 01:26:50,638
Here, drink this.

825
01:26:53,475 --> 01:26:55,351
They told Philippe.

826
01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:59,940
I knew he'd react
violently if he had known.

827
01:27:01,734 --> 01:27:03,317
After that general...

828
01:27:04,404 --> 01:27:06,070
- Pellieux?
- Yes, him.

829
01:27:07,740 --> 01:27:13,746
When they were done questioning me,
they drove me back in a carriage.

830
01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:18,125
Philippe was waiting for me.

831
01:27:20,212 --> 01:27:22,337
He sent the girls to his sister.

832
01:27:24,070 --> 01:27:27,197
He said I'm not worthy to be a mother.

833
01:27:29,931 --> 01:27:34,997
He won't let me see them after
the divorce. Can he really do that?

834
01:27:35,186 --> 01:27:37,353
No, certainly not.

835
01:27:38,397 --> 01:27:42,442
You need a lawyer.
We'll ask Leblois.

836
01:27:43,986 --> 01:27:45,780
Then you'll leave Paris for a while.

837
01:27:46,906 --> 01:27:49,866
- Why?
- To avoid the press.

838
01:27:50,075 --> 01:27:51,828
Do you have somewhere to go?

839
01:27:52,412 --> 01:27:55,498
I can go to my sister in Toulon.

840
01:27:56,124 --> 01:27:57,792
Good.

841
01:27:59,460 --> 01:28:01,005
You?

842
01:28:02,215 --> 01:28:04,174
I'll be all right.

843
01:28:34,372 --> 01:28:37,542
- We're here.
- Yes, thank you.

844
01:29:33,476 --> 01:29:35,561
- Good evening, sir.
- Good evening.

845
01:29:44,197 --> 01:29:45,947
Good to see you.

846
01:29:47,074 --> 01:29:51,244
- Our guest, Mr. Charpentier.
- Pleased to meet you.

847
01:29:51,371 --> 01:29:54,789
- He's the biggest publisher in Paris.
- You flatter me.

848
01:29:54,958 --> 01:29:57,960
- Thank you for this meeting.
- It's an honor.

849
01:29:58,044 --> 01:29:59,837
Let's go.

850
01:30:02,633 --> 01:30:05,718
Gentlemen, this is Colonel Picquart.

851
01:30:06,929 --> 01:30:08,095
Colonel.

852
01:30:08,179 --> 01:30:11,557
- Meet Senator Arthur Ranc.
- Pleased to meet you.

853
01:30:11,684 --> 01:30:14,227
- Joseph Reinach.
- Pleased to meet you.

854
01:30:14,310 --> 01:30:16,105
Member of the Chamber of Deputies.

855
01:30:16,188 --> 01:30:18,814
They coordinate the political campaign.

856
01:30:19,024 --> 01:30:22,443
Georges Clémenceau,
columnist for "L'Aurore".

857
01:30:22,528 --> 01:30:23,904
Colonel.

858
01:30:23,988 --> 01:30:25,989
Mathieu Dreyfus.

859
01:30:26,491 --> 01:30:31,120
For three years he's been fighting
to get justice for his brother.

860
01:30:32,915 --> 01:30:35,957
My family and I
are enormously grateful to you.

861
01:30:37,336 --> 01:30:40,755
You don't have to thank me,
I just listened to my conscience.

862
01:30:40,964 --> 01:30:45,219
Finally, I have the honor
to present to you Emile Zola.

863
01:30:46,012 --> 01:30:48,471
I'm a great admirer of yours, Colonel.

864
01:30:48,806 --> 01:30:50,474
And I of your works.

865
01:30:51,642 --> 01:30:56,313
The Joint Chiefs have put themselves in the
position of protecting the culprit

866
01:30:56,397 --> 01:31:01,026
Marie Charles Ferdinand Esterhazy,
to keep Dreyfus in prison.

867
01:31:02,194 --> 01:31:08,910
That's why I was the brains
of a conspiracy against Esterhazy.

868
01:31:09,202 --> 01:31:13,247
- Therefore I must be punished.
- What will happen to you?

869
01:31:14,166 --> 01:31:16,500
I'll be arrested, Mr. Clémenceau.

870
01:31:17,128 --> 01:31:20,547
Arrested and probably
kicked out of the army.

871
01:31:20,673 --> 01:31:23,133
The army is so narrow-minded!

872
01:31:23,258 --> 01:31:25,844
It's the only way to keep
Dreyfus on the island.

873
01:31:25,929 --> 01:31:28,346
It's staggering!

874
01:31:28,473 --> 01:31:33,227
- There's shame in being French.
- How can we help you?

875
01:31:33,352 --> 01:31:36,522
This story has to be told,
people have to understand.

876
01:31:37,107 --> 01:31:40,109
As an officer on duty
I cannot say anything about it.

877
01:31:40,945 --> 01:31:42,320
You can't.

878
01:31:42,863 --> 01:31:44,531
But I can.

879
01:31:45,407 --> 01:31:48,034
Maybe I'll end up on Devil's Island.

880
01:31:48,286 --> 01:31:53,164
- Dreyfus will be glad to have company.
- How can you joke?

881
01:31:53,750 --> 01:31:56,878
I can't stand the idea
of you alone in a cell.

882
01:31:58,171 --> 01:32:01,966
It doesn't matter.
It's a fortress, not a prison.

883
01:32:02,426 --> 01:32:04,426
I'll dedicate myself to reading.

884
01:32:15,188 --> 01:32:17,773
I'm sorry I got you involved.

885
01:32:18,817 --> 01:32:20,944
I got myself into this.

886
01:32:38,671 --> 01:32:40,131
Colonel Picquart.

887
01:32:40,424 --> 01:32:42,967
I have a warrant for your arrest
of the Minister of War.

888
01:32:52,770 --> 01:32:54,271
Can I have your weapon?

889
01:33:27,723 --> 01:33:33,143
Buy "L'Aurore"!

890
01:33:33,355 --> 01:33:37,565
Emile Zola's letter!
Dreyfus defended by Zola!

891
01:33:38,610 --> 01:33:41,444
Emile Zola's letter to the president!

892
01:33:41,779 --> 01:33:43,780
Buy "L'Aurore"!

893
01:33:43,949 --> 01:33:45,991
Boy!

894
01:33:46,119 --> 01:33:49,578
Boy, come here. Can we stop?

895
01:34:06,807 --> 01:34:08,432
What does it say?

896
01:34:10,101 --> 01:34:11,935
"We witness this infamous spectacle."

897
01:34:12,019 --> 01:34:16,065
It proclaims the innocence of individuals
burdened by debt and crime

898
01:34:16,192 --> 01:34:19,985
and it is damaging an incorruptible man.

899
01:34:20,487 --> 01:34:23,739
When a society goes this far,
it decomposes.

900
01:34:23,949 --> 01:34:26,283
You don't publish such things!

901
01:34:35,210 --> 01:34:39,172
I accuse Lieutenant Colonel
Du Paty de Clam

902
01:34:39,382 --> 01:34:43,676
"of having been the architect
of this miscarriage of justice."

903
01:34:44,178 --> 01:34:48,932
"I accuse General Mercier
that he was complicit

904
01:34:49,017 --> 01:34:51,478
of one of the worst iniquities
of the century."

905
01:34:52,979 --> 01:34:55,857
"I accuse General Billot of having had"

906
01:34:55,941 --> 01:35:00,070
evidence of Dreyfus' innocence
and covering it up.

907
01:35:00,195 --> 01:35:04,574
He is guilty of crimes
against humanity and justice

908
01:35:05,118 --> 01:35:08,620
"for political purposes and to save
the compromised General Staff."

909
01:35:08,829 --> 01:35:11,831
"I accuse General de Pellieux
and Major Ravary"

910
01:35:11,999 --> 01:35:16,920
of having conducted an investigation
dominated by monstrous bias.

911
01:35:17,005 --> 01:35:22,176
"In the report of the latter
we find a monument of naive audacity."

912
01:35:22,343 --> 01:35:27,390
"I accuse the expert calligraphers
of having made fraudulent reports

913
01:35:27,891 --> 01:35:32,562
unless they were affected by
visual and judgemental illness."

914
01:35:34,023 --> 01:35:38,985
"I accuse generals Boisdeffre
and Gonse of the same crime."

915
01:35:39,362 --> 01:35:44,115
One through clerical fanaticism,
the other through pride,

916
01:35:44,201 --> 01:35:49,078
"making the Ministry of War
an holy and untouchable ark."

917
01:35:49,248 --> 01:35:54,001
"I accuse the first War Council
of convicting an accused

918
01:35:54,085 --> 01:35:55,920
on the basis of a secret document."

919
01:35:57,797 --> 01:36:02,092
"I accuse the second War Council
of having covered up

920
01:36:02,218 --> 01:36:06,431
the crime of knowingly
acquitting a delinquent."

921
01:36:07,642 --> 01:36:09,224
"In making these accusations"

922
01:36:09,310 --> 01:36:14,606
I knowingly expose myself to
articles 30 and 31 of the Press Law

923
01:36:14,733 --> 01:36:20,153
"which punish crimes of defamation
and I do this of my own free will."

924
01:36:23,908 --> 01:36:27,412
- Traitor!
- To death!

925
01:36:28,747 --> 01:36:30,831
Traitor!

926
01:36:32,793 --> 01:36:35,628
- Traitor!
- Death to Emile Zola!

927
01:36:39,258 --> 01:36:42,135
- To death!
- You must die!

928
01:37:06,746 --> 01:37:09,706
- My dear Georges.
- Louis!

929
01:37:11,667 --> 01:37:13,147
- Are you alright?
- Yes.

930
01:37:13,168 --> 01:37:15,045
- Good.
- Give it to me.

931
01:37:17,965 --> 01:37:19,425
Good heavens!

932
01:37:20,176 --> 01:37:22,261
- What a lovely place!
- Isn't it?

933
01:37:22,345 --> 01:37:24,512
- Have a seat.
- Thank you.

934
01:37:27,768 --> 01:37:30,020
Zola has been reported.

935
01:37:30,103 --> 01:37:32,604
- By the army?
- No, the government.

936
01:37:33,106 --> 01:37:36,109
- When will he be judged?
- Soon, in two weeks.

937
01:37:36,193 --> 01:37:37,735
Two weeks.

938
01:37:37,903 --> 01:37:40,112
Zola and Clémenceau
would like you as a witness.

939
01:37:40,990 --> 01:37:43,157
- Yes, of course.
- Good.

940
01:37:43,617 --> 01:37:46,620
They have the most aggressive lawyer
in Paris, Fernand Labori.

941
01:37:47,080 --> 01:37:48,496
Labori.

942
01:37:48,623 --> 01:37:50,834
- Do you know him?
- No.

943
01:37:51,250 --> 01:37:55,754
- They call him "The Viking", right?
- No.

944
01:37:59,176 --> 01:38:06,599
You bastard!

945
01:38:07,643 --> 01:38:11,644
- Picquart, you bastard!
- Traitor!

946
01:38:15,568 --> 01:38:18,361
Bastard!

947
01:38:29,791 --> 01:38:34,588
Swear to speak without hate
or fear and tell the whole truth?

948
01:38:34,755 --> 01:38:36,005
I swear.

949
01:38:36,090 --> 01:38:38,590
- Your name?
- Marie Georges Picquart.

950
01:38:38,926 --> 01:38:40,468
Place of residence?

951
01:38:40,552 --> 01:38:43,617
Fortress of Mont-Valérien,
prison wing.

952
01:38:44,724 --> 01:38:46,807
Attorney Labori.

953
01:38:48,061 --> 01:38:52,729
Can you tell the Court
who knows about the Esterhazy affair?

954
01:38:53,774 --> 01:38:59,488
In the spring of 1896
I found fragments of a telegram.

955
01:39:01,408 --> 01:39:06,954
From the military attaché of a country
foreign to Major Esterhazy.

956
01:39:07,331 --> 01:39:11,335
It revealed that Esterhazy
he was feeding him information.

957
01:39:11,543 --> 01:39:14,337
Consequently I had Esterhazy monitored.

958
01:39:14,922 --> 01:39:19,509
Four months later he wrote about
an assignment at the Joint Chiefs.

959
01:39:20,051 --> 01:39:21,595
Twice!

960
01:39:23,055 --> 01:39:27,976
The handwriting matched
the note known as "bordereau",

961
01:39:28,061 --> 01:39:30,104
attributed to Major Dreyfus.

962
01:39:30,856 --> 01:39:33,858
This was confirmed by the first expert
appointed by the government.

963
01:39:33,983 --> 01:39:37,777
Did you inform your superiors of this news?

964
01:39:37,862 --> 01:39:39,698
- Of course.
- What did they say?

965
01:39:40,616 --> 01:39:43,409
They said to keep the two cases separate.

966
01:39:44,536 --> 01:39:47,955
Major Lauth, can you come closer?

967
01:39:54,296 --> 01:39:57,297
You have stated that you believe

968
01:39:57,424 --> 01:40:01,512
that Colonel Picquart
added the telegram

969
01:40:01,596 --> 01:40:05,391
to secret documents not yet examined.

970
01:40:05,558 --> 01:40:09,019
- That's what I believe.
- Colonel Picquart.

971
01:40:09,104 --> 01:40:11,730
That doesn't make it true.

972
01:40:12,775 --> 01:40:14,776
Colonel Henry, come forward please.

973
01:40:14,860 --> 01:40:16,653
Thank you, Major Lauth.

974
01:40:22,159 --> 01:40:26,162
You have said that you saw

975
01:40:27,039 --> 01:40:31,960
Colonel Picquart showing
the file to lawyer Leblois.

976
01:40:32,086 --> 01:40:35,881
Yes. He was in his office.
He showed him the document

977
01:40:35,965 --> 01:40:39,217
in which he calls Dreyfus
"that scumbag D."

978
01:40:40,136 --> 01:40:44,181
- You're wrong. I didn't show it to anyone.
- I saw it.

979
01:40:44,308 --> 01:40:47,768
- That's all I can say.
- May I ask a question?

980
01:40:48,519 --> 01:40:54,067
- How far did you get in?
- My head was in the door opening.

981
01:40:54,193 --> 01:40:58,779
- How could you tell it was him?
- I got a good look.

982
01:40:58,906 --> 01:41:04,036
The handwriting is not clear from
up close, let alone from a distance.

983
01:41:04,496 --> 01:41:08,790
I know that document
better than anyone and I saw it.

984
01:41:09,917 --> 01:41:14,421
You need a full airing? So be it!
I'll tell it like it was.

985
01:41:14,506 --> 01:41:18,884
- Colonel Picquart is lying!
- Mr. President!

986
01:41:22,931 --> 01:41:25,850
You heard Colonel Henry
calling me a liar

987
01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:32,898
and Major Lauth insinuating
that I fabricated the telegram.

988
01:41:34,401 --> 01:41:39,448
Do you know why?
All the makers of the Dreyfus case...

989
01:41:39,532 --> 01:41:42,951
- Colonel!
- Henry, Gribelin, Lauth,

990
01:41:43,036 --> 01:41:44,536
by order of General Gonse

991
01:41:44,620 --> 01:41:49,083
covering up Colonel Sandherr's
mistakes, a sick man.

992
01:41:49,209 --> 01:41:52,335
- Sit down!
- Do you know what my crime is?

993
01:41:53,297 --> 01:41:56,923
Thinking that honor doesn't defend itself
with blind obedience.

994
01:41:57,009 --> 01:41:58,718
Enough!

995
01:41:58,886 --> 01:42:03,389
Maybe I'll get kicked out of the army
that I love and gave 25 years to.

996
01:42:04,017 --> 01:42:05,641
Well, so be it.

997
01:42:06,393 --> 01:42:10,481
I still believe it was my duty
to seek truth and justice.

998
01:42:10,649 --> 01:42:12,733
The army should be served in this way.

999
01:42:12,818 --> 01:42:14,693
- Enough!
- Honestly.

1000
01:42:15,903 --> 01:42:18,739
- Bravo!
- You will pay for this insult.

1001
01:42:18,825 --> 01:42:20,491
Silence!

1002
01:42:27,749 --> 01:42:31,002
General Pellieux, come to the stand.

1003
01:42:39,344 --> 01:42:43,265
- We're listening.
- Nothing has been said about the Dreyfus affair.

1004
01:42:43,725 --> 01:42:48,687
It's <i>res judicata</i> which is judged,
but seeing how it was...

1005
01:42:50,314 --> 01:42:54,402
As Colonel Henry says,
"You need a full airing? So be it."

1006
01:42:57,114 --> 01:43:00,533
In November 1896,
the Ministry of War received

1007
01:43:00,868 --> 01:43:05,289
proof of Dreyfus' guilt.
I've seen it.

1008
01:43:06,082 --> 01:43:10,585
It's a letter from one foreign military
attaché to another. This what it says.

1009
01:43:11,295 --> 01:43:14,255
"Questions arise about the Dreyfus affair.

1010
01:43:14,965 --> 01:43:20,012
Never admit to the relationship
we had with that Jew."

1011
01:43:20,096 --> 01:43:24,309
- I ask to speak.
- Pardon me! I am speaking.

1012
01:43:24,518 --> 01:43:27,561
- I demand that the document be produced.
- Attorney Labori!

1013
01:43:28,689 --> 01:43:31,357
General Gonse, come closer please.

1014
01:43:36,280 --> 01:43:38,281
The army fears nothing.

1015
01:43:38,366 --> 01:43:41,618
But documents of that nature
remain confidential.

1016
01:43:45,999 --> 01:43:47,749
Summon General Boisdeffre.

1017
01:43:47,834 --> 01:43:51,878
- He'll confirm.
- Then summon him.

1018
01:43:52,213 --> 01:43:56,801
- Bravo!
- Long live the Republic!

1019
01:43:58,136 --> 01:44:00,221
Long live the army!

1020
01:44:01,264 --> 01:44:02,682
Long live the Republic!

1021
01:44:02,765 --> 01:44:04,851
- Long live the general!
- Bravo!

1022
01:44:05,060 --> 01:44:07,312
Long live France!

1023
01:44:10,440 --> 01:44:13,151
Long live the Republic!

1024
01:44:13,360 --> 01:44:15,486
Bravo!

1025
01:44:15,613 --> 01:44:17,697
Silence.

1026
01:44:17,991 --> 01:44:20,576
Silence!

1027
01:44:20,994 --> 01:44:22,953
We're listening.

1028
01:44:24,122 --> 01:44:26,581
I heard about General Pellieux's statement.

1029
01:44:26,666 --> 01:44:30,878
I confirm all items.
It's precise, it reflects the truth.

1030
01:44:32,797 --> 01:44:34,381
That's all I have to say.

1031
01:44:35,551 --> 01:44:37,343
But, gentlemen...

1032
01:44:38,595 --> 01:44:41,474
Allow me to add something.

1033
01:44:42,724 --> 01:44:44,809
You are the jury.

1034
01:44:45,436 --> 01:44:47,729
You are the nation.

1035
01:44:48,272 --> 01:44:52,526
If the nation no longer has confidence
in the leaders of its army

1036
01:44:53,069 --> 01:44:56,071
to have responsibility
for the national defence

1037
01:44:57,615 --> 01:45:00,826
then leave this task to others.

1038
01:45:01,077 --> 01:45:05,039
- Bravo!
- It's a coup d'etat.

1039
01:45:05,124 --> 01:45:09,543
Will they resign if they don't get
the verdict they demand?

1040
01:45:09,628 --> 01:45:14,466
- You don't have the floor. Thank you, General.
- I have some questions for him.

1041
01:45:14,592 --> 01:45:16,176
You don't have the floor.

1042
01:45:16,928 --> 01:45:19,720
Colonel Picquart wants to say something.

1043
01:45:19,805 --> 01:45:21,848
Colonel, come closer please.

1044
01:45:26,396 --> 01:45:31,108
If Generals Pellieux and Boisdeffre
had not revealed its existence

1045
01:45:31,609 --> 01:45:33,278
I wouldn't have mentioned it.

1046
01:45:34,487 --> 01:45:37,239
I am bound by the oath of secrecy.

1047
01:45:38,701 --> 01:45:45,166
The letter they're talking about, this
irrefutable evidence, is fake.

1048
01:45:45,582 --> 01:45:48,084
- Cowardly liar!
- Clown!

1049
01:45:48,210 --> 01:45:52,380
- That's a lie!
- Silence!

1050
01:45:54,259 --> 01:45:56,343
Silence!

1051
01:46:02,058 --> 01:46:06,770
The question is this.
Did Emile Zola publish lies

1052
01:46:06,855 --> 01:46:11,692
designed to compromise the honour
and reputation of the army?

1053
01:46:12,068 --> 01:46:15,197
Members of the jury,
what is your verdict?

1054
01:46:20,869 --> 01:46:23,996
On my honor and conscience

1055
01:46:25,583 --> 01:46:30,837
the verdict of the jury is...
Yes, the defendant is guilty.

1056
01:46:30,922 --> 01:46:32,381
Bravo!

1057
01:46:33,090 --> 01:46:37,219
By virtue of this, the Court
condemns you to one year imprisonment

1058
01:46:37,304 --> 01:46:39,222
- and a fine of 3,000 francs.
- Yes!

1059
01:46:39,307 --> 01:46:40,597
Bravo.

1060
01:46:40,682 --> 01:46:42,766
- Long live France.
- Bravo!

1061
01:46:47,524 --> 01:46:49,066
- Long live France!
- That's right!

1062
01:46:49,150 --> 01:46:50,942
- That's right!

1063
01:46:54,029 --> 01:46:58,575
Gentlemen, if one of you is injured,
the duel will be interrupted.

1064
01:46:58,993 --> 01:47:04,205
After inspection of the wound, if the
wounded man wants, the duel will resume.

1065
01:47:06,875 --> 01:47:08,377
En garde!

1066
01:47:10,798 --> 01:47:12,881
Go!

1067
01:47:14,509 --> 01:47:17,260
Mr. referee, this is ridiculous!

1068
01:47:23,060 --> 01:47:24,603
Stop!

1069
01:47:25,146 --> 01:47:27,939
Doctor! Examine the wound.

1070
01:47:28,190 --> 01:47:30,609
It's nothing, he just missed you.

1071
01:47:31,111 --> 01:47:33,862
- That man is crazy.
- No, he's desperate.

1072
01:47:36,199 --> 01:47:37,366
I'm fine!

1073
01:47:37,492 --> 01:47:39,034
It's nothing!

1074
01:47:46,919 --> 01:47:48,794
I'm ready.

1075
01:47:50,047 --> 01:47:51,839
En garde!

1076
01:47:52,175 --> 01:47:53,758
Go!

1077
01:48:42,393 --> 01:48:44,519
Stop!

1078
01:48:46,481 --> 01:48:48,273
No! I can go on.

1079
01:48:54,990 --> 01:48:57,242
Give me a minute!

1080
01:49:28,025 --> 01:49:29,526
Examination.

1081
01:50:03,729 --> 01:50:06,147
- Who are you?
- Labori.

1082
01:50:07,608 --> 01:50:10,904
So, how is life at Santé?

1083
01:50:11,947 --> 01:50:13,864
Mont-Valérien was better.

1084
01:50:14,699 --> 01:50:16,783
I have a present for you.

1085
01:50:18,745 --> 01:50:23,208
"Today Colonel Henry admitted
to be the author of the letter"

1086
01:50:23,291 --> 01:50:27,128
of October 1896
in which Dreyfus was named.

1087
01:50:28,172 --> 01:50:32,300
The Minister of War has
ordered Henry's arrest.

1088
01:50:32,385 --> 01:50:34,345
"He's in Mont-Valérien now."

1089
01:50:34,428 --> 01:50:37,012
- Why did he confess?
- He had no choice.

1090
01:50:37,181 --> 01:50:40,516
His letter was poorly made.

1091
01:50:40,977 --> 01:50:43,312
He glued pieces together
that didn't match.

1092
01:50:43,397 --> 01:50:44,938
Poor fool!

1093
01:50:45,190 --> 01:50:49,109
They'll have to redo the trial
and repatriate Dreyfus.

1094
01:50:49,610 --> 01:50:53,196
I'll call Henry to the stand.
We'll bring down the government.

1095
01:51:23,730 --> 01:51:25,314
Look, it's Picquart!

1096
01:51:25,440 --> 01:51:27,357
- Colonel!
- One question!

1097
01:51:27,442 --> 01:51:31,696
- Gentlemen, one moment.
- Quiet!

1098
01:51:32,948 --> 01:51:34,615
I'm satisfied.

1099
01:51:35,075 --> 01:51:40,496
After a year in prison the government
has dropped the charges against me.

1100
01:51:41,248 --> 01:51:45,543
It also decided to review
Captain Dreyfus' conviction.

1101
01:51:46,462 --> 01:51:51,592
- I demand that Esterhazy be arrested.
- Esterhazy has challenged you to a duel.

1102
01:51:51,677 --> 01:51:52,719
What will you do?

1103
01:51:52,801 --> 01:51:57,055
He's a criminal,
justice will take care of him.

1104
01:52:07,233 --> 01:52:08,777
There he is.

1105
01:52:25,669 --> 01:52:28,838
I'll kill you, you filthy coward!

1106
01:52:39,434 --> 01:52:42,812
- I will have satisfaction!
- Look for her among your whores.

1107
01:52:43,648 --> 01:52:47,025
Coward! Traitor! Dirty Jew!

1108
01:54:03,439 --> 01:54:05,315
- Name.
- Alfred Dreyfus.

1109
01:54:05,400 --> 01:54:06,817
Speak up.

1110
01:54:07,862 --> 01:54:09,195
Alfred Dreyfus.

1111
01:54:09,697 --> 01:54:12,406
- Age?
- Thirty-nine.

1112
01:54:12,574 --> 01:54:15,368
- Place of birth?
- Mulhouse.

1113
01:54:15,493 --> 01:54:19,498
- Rank?
- Captain, diplomat at the Joint Chiefs.

1114
01:54:20,541 --> 01:54:22,667
You are accused of high treason.

1115
01:54:22,752 --> 01:54:25,754
- How do you plead?
- I am...

1116
01:54:27,089 --> 01:54:29,174
I'm... I'm innocent.

1117
01:54:34,639 --> 01:54:40,603
Once again, on the honor
of my name and my children.

1118
01:54:42,480 --> 01:54:45,232
Colonel, I swear. I am innocent.

1119
01:54:46,359 --> 01:54:48,069
About face!

1120
01:54:49,613 --> 01:54:51,698
Present arms!

1121
01:55:02,001 --> 01:55:04,712
General Mercier has the floor.

1122
01:55:07,507 --> 01:55:11,636
I ordered the delivery of a
file of evidence to the judges.

1123
01:55:11,679 --> 01:55:15,911
There was a secret document
and it should have stayed that way.

1124
01:55:16,142 --> 01:55:21,561
Let me add something. I am an
honest son of an honest man.

1125
01:55:21,939 --> 01:55:24,984
If I had doubts, I would admit it.

1126
01:55:25,109 --> 01:55:27,902
I would tell Captain Dreyfus
that I made a mistake.

1127
01:55:27,987 --> 01:55:29,612
Then tell him!

1128
01:55:33,534 --> 01:55:39,832
But it's not like that. Since 1894
nothing has made my conviction waver.

1129
01:55:40,542 --> 01:55:45,880
It has been strengthened by the
painful efforts to prove his innocence.

1130
01:55:46,256 --> 01:55:49,967
Not to mention the millions spent
on him by the Jewish people.

1131
01:55:50,385 --> 01:55:54,388
Mr. President,
may I question the witness?

1132
01:55:55,433 --> 01:56:00,145
Given the time, we'll continue
listening to the testimony tomorrow.

1133
01:56:00,229 --> 01:56:01,938
- But why?
- The hearing is adjourned.

1134
01:56:02,022 --> 01:56:03,523
You may go, General.

1135
01:57:10,595 --> 01:57:12,679
Georges!

1136
01:57:14,558 --> 01:57:16,975
- Are you ready?
- Yes, I'm coming!

1137
01:57:33,995 --> 01:57:36,163
Picquart! Gast!

1138
01:57:39,040 --> 01:57:40,292
Good day, Labori.

1139
01:57:40,375 --> 01:57:43,420
- Are you ready for battle?
- Ready as I'll ever be.

1140
01:57:44,130 --> 01:57:49,468
We're gonna blow up General Mercier
with the arsenal you provided.

1141
01:57:53,015 --> 01:57:54,807
My God!

1142
01:57:56,768 --> 01:58:00,188
- Hurry! Help!
- Stay with him!

1143
01:58:00,731 --> 01:58:03,150
- He's been shot!
- Help me!

1144
01:58:05,736 --> 01:58:07,195
Help!

1145
01:58:07,445 --> 01:58:11,323
Stop him! Murderer! Stop him!

1146
01:58:53,035 --> 01:58:55,162
"In the name of the French people,"

1147
01:58:56,331 --> 01:58:59,333
today, September 9, 1899,

1148
01:59:00,794 --> 01:59:04,713
the War Coucil of the
10th Legion of the Army Corps...

1149
01:59:05,924 --> 01:59:08,427
declares the defendant Dreyfus Alfred,

1150
01:59:09,094 --> 01:59:12,514
Captain of the 14th Artillery Regiment,

1151
01:59:13,266 --> 01:59:18,520
"by five votes to two,
guilty of high treason."

1152
01:59:18,688 --> 01:59:20,772
Long live France!

1153
01:59:21,984 --> 01:59:24,318
Boo!

1154
01:59:28,323 --> 01:59:33,786
"With the same majority and
given the extenuating circumstances

1155
01:59:34,246 --> 01:59:38,875
the Court therefore commutes the sentence
to ten years in prison."

1156
01:59:42,964 --> 01:59:46,049
Extenuating circumstances!

1157
01:59:50,723 --> 01:59:52,015
Watch over my wife.

1158
01:59:53,766 --> 01:59:55,851
Of course.

1159
02:00:03,901 --> 02:00:06,404
Sorry to keep you waiting.

1160
02:00:07,447 --> 02:00:10,867
Mathieu Dreyfus arrived
as I was leaving the house.

1161
02:00:10,950 --> 02:00:11,995
What did he want?

1162
02:00:12,077 --> 02:00:14,204
They offered his brother a pardon.

1163
02:00:14,288 --> 02:00:17,331
- He wanted my advice.
- Wonderful!

1164
02:00:18,376 --> 02:00:23,214
- What did you tell him?
- He doesn't have to accept.

1165
02:00:24,257 --> 02:00:28,135
- But then he'll be free.
- Free, but technically guilty.

1166
02:00:28,219 --> 02:00:33,350
- He hasn't seen his children in 5 years!
- He has to hang in there. We will win.

1167
02:00:34,142 --> 02:00:36,184
It'll be quicker if he stays in jail.

1168
02:00:36,728 --> 02:00:39,981
- Waiter! A cognac.
- Right away.

1169
02:00:45,111 --> 02:00:47,113
Now that your divorce is official,

1170
02:00:47,198 --> 02:00:50,742
- maybe we could get married.
- We could.

1171
02:00:52,829 --> 02:00:54,747
Do you think we should?

1172
02:00:55,998 --> 02:00:59,586
- Do you want me to ask for your hand?
- Not particularly.

1173
02:01:01,379 --> 02:01:02,462
Why?

1174
02:01:02,547 --> 02:01:07,135
Darling, it doesn't make much sense
if you ask me that way.

1175
02:01:08,303 --> 02:01:09,721
Don't you think?

1176
02:01:10,597 --> 02:01:12,681
Forgive me.

1177
02:01:17,563 --> 02:01:19,148
Will you marry me?

1178
02:01:20,024 --> 02:01:21,148
No.

1179
02:01:22,818 --> 02:01:25,320
Seriously? You refuse?

1180
02:01:26,364 --> 02:01:31,451
You're not the marrying kind.
And deep down, neither am I.

1181
02:01:33,204 --> 02:01:35,080
Let's continue as before.

1182
02:02:08,075 --> 02:02:11,285
Mr. Minister,
Major Dreyfus is here.

1183
02:02:12,079 --> 02:02:14,288
Let him in.

1184
02:02:17,500 --> 02:02:18,917
General.

1185
02:02:21,004 --> 02:02:23,090
Major.

1186
02:02:31,099 --> 02:02:32,641
Please.

1187
02:02:34,685 --> 02:02:36,520
Have a seat.

1188
02:02:39,565 --> 02:02:42,652
- Have you been here before?
- No, Minister.

1189
02:02:47,282 --> 02:02:48,407
All right, then.

1190
02:02:49,034 --> 02:02:53,246
- What did you want to discuss?
- My rank.

1191
02:02:55,416 --> 02:03:00,107
My promotion to major does not take
into account the years of imprisonment.

1192
02:03:00,128 --> 02:03:05,175
Your eight years
outside the army are considered

1193
02:03:05,300 --> 02:03:09,929
like you've been through them
on duty. It's unfair.

1194
02:03:11,057 --> 02:03:12,891
I consider it a prejudice.

1195
02:03:13,978 --> 02:03:18,397
I see. What should I do about it?

1196
02:03:19,608 --> 02:03:22,734
Promote me to my due rank.

1197
02:03:24,070 --> 02:03:27,323
- Which is?
- Lieutenant Colonel.

1198
02:03:28,409 --> 02:03:33,872
- That requires a special law.
- It should be done, it would be right.

1199
02:03:34,290 --> 02:03:37,293
- That's not possible.
- Why not?

1200
02:03:37,419 --> 02:03:42,213
The law wouldn't pass.
The political climate has changed.

1201
02:03:43,258 --> 02:03:46,928
It is already difficult to work
with those who were our enemies.

1202
02:03:47,971 --> 02:03:51,307
- Why reopen the matter?
- Because it's the right thing.

1203
02:03:52,976 --> 02:03:55,685
I'm sorry, that's not possible.

1204
02:04:04,571 --> 02:04:07,532
- If that's all...
- Yes, that's all.

1205
02:04:16,959 --> 02:04:21,881
I'm sorry that we couldn't talk
in private these last few years.

1206
02:04:22,174 --> 02:04:26,094
No, indeed.
Not since the morning of my arrest.

1207
02:04:26,510 --> 02:04:30,932
Yes. I apologize for the role
that I had in this sad charade.

1208
02:04:31,225 --> 02:04:34,018
You recovered very well.

1209
02:04:37,273 --> 02:04:42,486
It's good to have done all this
and finally be elected to government.

1210
02:04:42,945 --> 02:04:45,906
And yet it's strange to say, but...

1211
02:04:46,991 --> 02:04:51,162
- I wouldn't be here without you.
- No, General.

1212
02:04:51,287 --> 02:04:54,769
You're here because you did your duty.

1213
02:05:06,074 --> 02:05:11,288
The two men never met again.
