好人寥寥 A Few Good Men Movie Script

杰瑞发布于2023-10-31

在美国驻古巴关达那摩湾的海军基地，两名海军陆战队员道森和多尼被指控杀害了另一名士兵圣地亚哥。海军律师丹尼尔·卡菲（汤姆·克鲁斯 Tom Cruise 饰）和助手山姆被派接手此桩案件，他们调查到圣地亚哥曾希望调离基地，还举报过道森。卡菲本想进行庭外协调，争取两年刑期。然而 两名士兵坚持自己无罪，他们对圣地亚哥的行为是执行上级给他们下达的“红色条规”。所谓红色条规，就是一种军官默许的由士兵私下进行的训诫条规。 　　卡菲、山姆以及另一名女律师盖洛维（黛米·摩尔 Demi Moore 饰）组成辩方律师进行调查，而基地指挥官杰塞普上校（杰克·尼科尔森 Jack Nicholson 饰）是本案的关键人物，他拒绝了圣地亚哥的调离申请，对他下达了“红色条规”，事后私自篡改了飞行记录。卡菲虽然知道真相，却苦于证据不足，这种情况下若是指证杰塞普上校还会给自己带来麻烦。这场关乎正义的诉讼案，会有一个怎样的结果
KAFFEE:
No objection.
RANDOLPH:
Is the Government prepared to make an opening statement?
ROSS:
(standing) Yes sir.
ROSS walks to the jury box.
ROSS:
(continuing) The facts of the case are this: At midnight on August 6th, the defendants went into the barracks room of their platoon-mate, PFC William Santiago.
They woke him up, tied his arms and legs with rope, and forced a rag into his throat. A few minutes later, a chemical reaction in Santiago's body called lactic acidosis caused his lungs to begin bleeding. He drowned in his own blood and was pronounced dead at 32 minutes past midnight. These are the facts of the case. And they are undisputed. That's right. The story I just told you is the exact same story you're going to hear from Corporal Dawson, and it's the exact same story you're going to hear from Private Downey. Furthermore, the Government will also demonstrate that the defendants soaked the rag with poison, and entered Santiago's room with motive and intent to kill.
(beat) Now, Lt. Kaffee, is gonna try to pull off a little magic act, he's gonna try a little misdirection.
He's going to astonish you with stories of rituals and dazzle you with official sounding terms like Code Red. He might even cut into a few officers for you. He'll have no evidence, mind you, none. But it's gonna be entertaining. When we get to the end, all the magic in the world will not have been able to divert your attention from the fact that Willy Santiago is dead, and Dawson and Downey killed him. These are the facts of the case.
(beat) And they are undisputed.
ROSS walks back to his seat.
RANDOLPH:
Lt. Kaffee?
Before KAFFEE's even stood up, these words are coming out of his mouth.
KAFFEE:
There was no poison on the rag and there was no intent to kill and any attempt to prove otherwise is futile because it just ain't true.
(beat) When Dawson and Downey went into Santiago's room that night, it wasn't because of vengeance or hatred, it wasn't to kill or harm, and it wasn't because they were looking for kicks on a Friday night. It's because it was what they were ordered to do.
(beat) Let me say that again: It's because it was what they were ordered to do.
Now, out in the real world, that means nothing. And here at the Washington Navy Yard, it doesn't mean a whole lot more. But if you're a marine assigned to Rifle Security Company Windward, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and you're given an order, you follow it or you pack your bags.
(beat) Make no mistake about it, Harold Dawson and Louden Downey are sitting before you in judgement today because they did their job.
KAFFEE walks back to the table and takes his seat.
RANDOLPH:
Is the Government ready to call its first witness?
ROSS:
Please the Court, the Government calls Mr. R.C McGuire.
While McCGUIRE, a civilian in his late 30's, is being sworn in, KAFFEE has sat back down.
He leans over to DAWSON and whispers.
KAFFEE:
How you doin'?
DAWSON doesn't change his expression.
KAFFEE:
(continuing) Good.
