to answer for your actions.

Please.

There!

Captain, the last lifeboat is off.

The passengers are all on the forecastle.

Gentlemen.

You have done your duty.

I thank you.

You are now released from duty.

People!

You have done your duty.

Now it's every man for himself!

Wait for me, Anne.

I'll find some life jackets.

Don't leave me alone, John.

Don't leave me alone.

Every man for himself!

I'm sorry.

The last lifeboat has left.

Look there!

It's Anne!

- Have you seen my Anne?

- She left long ago.

- She left?

- Let me go!

Tadrow!

What are you waiting for?

Go now. I'll follow later.

I'm the senior officer.

Don't make me get angry.

Go back.

You won't make it through there.

Mommy!

Don't be afraid, little girl.

I'll take you to your mommy.

Stop. It's Petersen!

And that's how the Titanic sank.

Your Honor, you expressed doubts

as to the question of guilt...

but there is no question here.

There is only guilt...

and one man alone

bears that guilt!

The president of the White Star Line.

Order!

I thank the witness.

The board of inquiry

will now retire for deliberations.

Hey, there's the one

who lost his memory.

John!

Now we'll see if there really is

such a thing as justice.

After examining

all relevant questions...

including those of negligence...

and of whether safety measures

were ignored...

and especially those emphasized...

in accusations and statements

made by the witness Petersen...

the Board of Inquiry has reached

the following decision:

On a ship, the captain alone

is in command.

In this case, therefore,

the fault for the accident...

lies with the captain

and only the captain.

He can, however, not be called to answer,

since he is no longer among the living.

Thus, no accusation may be lodged

against the White Star Line.

President Ismay's behavior

cannot be considered incriminating...

and he is therefore acquitted.

I hereby declare this Maritime Board

of Inquiry to be adjourned.

"The deaths of 1,500 people

remain unatoned for...

an eternal condemnation

of England's quest for profit."
