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

CUT TO:
EXT. CUBAN FIELD - DAY SERIES OF SHOTS - DAY And while we HEAR the letter read in V.O., what we're seeing
is this:
SANTIAGO's life in Guantanimo Bay over the last 8 months. He had a rough time of it.
THE SHOTS SHOULD INCLUDE: -- SANTIAGO running along at the rear of a group of MARINES.
It's been over seven miles and he's matted with sweat. A SERGEANT runs up along side, grabs his back, and pushes him to keep up with the group. SANTIAGO falls, struggles to get back up and keep running, and
CUT TO:
EXT. MARINE BARRACKS - DAY -- SANTIAGO doing push-ups alone in the rain. He's being supervised by a SERGEANT who sees to it that his face hits the mud every time down and
CUT TO:
INT. MESS HALL - DAY -- SANTIAGO sitting alone in the mess hall, not a friend within four seats of him and
CUT TO:
EXT. MARINE BARRACKS - DAY -- SANTIAGO being chewed out by a Lieutenant in front of his squad and
CUT TO:
EXT. ROCKY HILL - DAY -- SANTIAGO running with the squad of MARINES again, this time down a rocky hill. It's hot as hell and it looks like he's gonna pass out.
He stumbles, and the SERGEANT picks him up and pushes him down the hill. He rolls about 30 feet before he stops. Over this, we HEAR SANTIAGO (V.O.) "...My name is PFC William T.
Santiago. I am a marine stationed at Marine Barracks, Rifle Security Company Windward, Second Platoon Delta. I am writing to inform you of my problems with my unit here in Cuba and to ask for your help. I've fallen out on runs before for several reasons such as feeling dizzy or nauseated, but on May 18th, I'd fallen back about 20 or 30 yards going down a rocky, unstable hill. My sergeant grabbed me and pushed me down the hill. Then I saw all black and the last thing I remember is hitting the deck. I was brought to the hospital where I was told I just had heat exhaustion and was explained to by the doctor that my body has trouble with the hot sun and I hyperventilate.
I ask you to help me. Please sir. I just need to be transferred out of RSC. Sincerely. PFC William T.
Santiago. U.S. Marine Corps." At this point, with SANTIAGO's letter still in V.O., we
CUT TO:
INT. JESSEP'S OFFICE - DAY THE LETTER - DAY It's the last paragraph of the letter we've been hearing, and at the moment, we can't see the hands that are holding it.
SANTIAGO (V.O.) "P.S. In exchange for my transfer off the base, I'm willing to provide you with information about an illegal fenceline shooting that occurred the night of August 2nd." And as these last words are spoken, we PULL BACK TO REVEAL COLONEL NATHAN R. JESSEP, who drops the letter he's been reading on his desk, where it joins a stack of other letters just like it.
JESSEP's a born leader, considered in many circles to be one of the real fair-haired boys of the Corps. He's smart as a whip with a sense of humor to match. As soon as he drops the letter, he says
JESSEP:
Who the f*** is PFC William T.
Santiago.
He's talking to his two senior officers. CAPTAIN MARKINSON is in his late 40's. He's a career marine and a nice guy in a world where nice guys may not finish last, but they sure as sh*t don't finish first. Lt. JONATHAN JAMES KENDRICK is 26, from Georgia, and an Academy graduate.
If you asked him he'd tell you that the gates to heaven are guarded by the U.S. Marine Corps.
KENDRICK:
Sir, Santiago is a member of Second Platoon, Delta.
JESSEP:
Yeah, well, apparently he's not very happy down here at Shangri-La, cause he's written letters to everyone but Santa Claus asking for a transfer.
And now he's telling tales about a fenceline shooting.
He tosses the letter over to MARKINSON. MARKINSON is looking it over. JESSEP is waiting for a response.
JESSEP:
(continuing) Matthew?
MARKINSON: I'm appalled, sir.
