00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
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.
00:22 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 involved.
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 a 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.
01:35 Isn't it obvious that one of you is not telling the truth?
