00:00 [CLOCK TICKING]

00:01 The cyclone was coming at us from the east.

00:05 We were sailing blind through the rain and the spray.

00:08 My executive officer went into a panic.

00:12 He repeatedly tried to order me off the bridge.

00:15 I told him he was performing a mutinous act.

00:20 The trial counsel will state the charge.

00:21 Charge one, mutiny.

00:23 Did you relieve the commander of the USS Cain?

00:26 Yes.

00:28 Captain Quig had lost control.

00:30 We had the commander under constant observation.

00:34 You felt you had the right to depose a commanding officer

00:37 on the grounds of mental illness.

00:39 Yes.

00:40 Did you think he was insane?

00:42 Can you describe when and where the captain displayed

00:45 this aversion to danger?

00:46 No.

00:47 Why do his hands tremble?

00:48 Objection.

00:49 The honor and career of an officer

00:51 with an unblemished military record of 21 years

00:53 standing is at all.

00:55 Counsel and the witness are herewith cautioned

00:58 that they are treading on dangerous and unprecedented

01:00 grounds here.

01:02 I don't understand what you're doing.

01:03 I want to win this case.

01:04 I have a chance with one heroic exec.

01:06 Making that stick is the only chance for you to win.

01:09 He was a petty tyrant and utterly incompetent.

01:13 I've had a spotless record up until now,

01:15 and I was stabbed in the back.

01:18 Are you testifying that Merrick deliberately

01:21 violated his captain's orders?

01:22 It's the principle of respect for the command,

01:24 and that principle was dead.

01:26 Did you offer to alter the logs?

01:27 That's a lie.

01:28 Answer the question, please.

01:29 It's a malicious lie.

01:30 Objection.

01:31 The witness is being badgered.

01:34 Isn't it obvious that one of you is not telling the truth?
