- by hanging.
- 807
- 01:22:30,686 --> 01:22:33,723
- These proceedings
- are duly closed.
- 808
- 01:22:46,536 --> 01:22:47,938
- Surely you're not
- going to accept that.
- 809
- 01:22:48,370 --> 01:22:49,738
- I have to accept it.
- 810
- 01:22:50,039 --> 01:22:52,776
- This is now just another suicide
- that no one will want to hear about.
- 811
- 01:22:52,909 --> 01:22:54,576
- What about the letters
- in his wallet?
- 812
- 01:22:54,710 --> 01:22:56,847
- We have not been allowed
- to see them.
- 813
- 01:22:57,979 --> 01:22:58,948
- Why weren't they read out?
- 814
- 01:22:59,749 --> 01:23:01,351
- I'm very sorry, Mr. Underwood,
- 815
- 01:23:01,750 --> 01:23:04,186
- but maybe if you'd not become involved,
- there would be no need to know.
- 816
- 01:23:04,987 --> 01:23:09,592
- Look, Colonel, I'm sorry but
- I did what I thought was right.
- 817
- 01:23:11,093 --> 01:23:12,763
- Did you? Really?
- 818
- 01:23:13,897 --> 01:23:14,930
- STEPHEN: We still have this.
- 819
- 01:23:15,764 --> 01:23:17,800
- Testimony is worth nothing
- without the man.
- 820
- 01:23:19,802 --> 01:23:22,005
- Even if it's not
- accepted in the courts,
- 821
- 01:23:22,872 --> 01:23:24,840
- it still brings the story
- out into the open.
- 822
- 01:23:25,207 --> 01:23:28,577
- - That's all you need, isn't it?
- - Yes, Mr. Underwood, but there's nothing more I can do.
- 823
- 01:23:29,379 --> 01:23:30,947
- We have been told
- in no uncertain terms
- 824
- 01:23:31,046 --> 01:23:33,715
- that the newspapers
- have been strongly advised
- 825
- 01:23:33,816 --> 01:23:35,018
- never to raise
- the subject again.
- 826
- 01:23:36,619 --> 01:23:38,054
- My apologies, I have to go.
- 827
- 01:23:41,023 --> 01:23:44,260
- He did not deserve this.
- He was a good man.

- JEANETTE: I'm so very sorry,
- Colonel.
- 829

- I truly am.
- 830
- 01:24:07,116 --> 01:24:08,851
- Don't you dare
- walk away from me!
- 831
- 01:24:09,985 --> 01:24:12,988
- You are just as much to blame
- for this impossible situation!
- 832
- 01:24:14,022 --> 01:24:15,858
- JEANETTE: You did
- what you thought was right.
- 833
