Hart's War Page #8

enough to kill him?

Colonel.

I did.

Wait a minute.

What are you saying?

I killed Vic Bedford, sir.

Come on, Colonel. Here.

I want every man in the compound

present...

for the execution

of Lieutenant Hart.

Very brave.

Very brave, indeed.

Colonel, this man has rights.

Not anymore.

This court still has to

deliberate the matter.

I am the court now!

Now. Get him up.

Get him up. Get him up.

Get out.

I want every man...

who participated

in the court-martial...

removed from the line.

Line them up.

Line them up. Now.

These men knew nothing, Colonel.

Line them up!

You will be the first.

These men knew nothing.

You will be the first!

Colonel, they knew nothing!

So, your men are saboteurs

as well?

No, Colonel,

they're just soldiers.

They were following my orders.

I assume complete

responsibility.

That's very noble of you.

Seems you've won our duel

after all, Colonel.

No.

We both lose, don't we?

Yeah.

And now you wish to

trade your life for theirs?

Yes, I do.

Very well.

We buried the Colonel in

a marked grave behind the camp.

Three months later,

the German army surrendered.

Our stalag was liberated.

The war was over.

We returned home to America,

to our families.

Lincoln Scott got the chance...

to explain the word honor

to his son.

Honor and courage,

duty, sacrifice.

Lincoln's son came

to understand those words...

and so have I.
