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:
INT. A WASHINGTON SALOON - NIGHT A WAITRESS sets two drinks down in front of KAFFEE and ROSS, who are sitting across from each other in a booth in the back.
ROSS:
That was nice work today. The redirect on Howard.
KAFFEE:
I have Markinson.
ROSS only takes a moment digest this.
ROSS:
Where is he?
KAFFEE:
A motel room in Arlington with 14 Federal Marshals outside his door.
Take a sip of your drink.
ROSS:
Damn.
KAFFEE:
The transfer order that Parkinson signed is phoney. And Jessep's statement that the six a.m. flight was the first available is a lie, we're checking the tower chief's log. But in the meantime I'm gonna put the Apostle Jon Kendrick on the stand and see if we can't have a little fun.
ROSS takes another sip of his drink, then lays it on the line for Kaffee..
ROSS:
I have an obligation to tell you that if you accuse Kendrick or Jessep of any crime without proper evidence, you'll be subject to Court-Martial for professional misconduct. And that's something that'll be stapled to every job application you ever fill out. Markinson's not gonna hold up, he's a crazy man. I'm not saying this to intimidate you. I'm being your lawyer.
KAFFEE:
Thanks, Jack. And I wanna tell you that I think the whole f***in' bunch of you are certifiably insane. And this code of honor of yours makes me wanna beat the sh*t outta something.
ROSS:
Don't you dare lump me in with Jessep and Markinson and Kendrick because we wear the same uniform. I'm your friend, Danny, and I'm telling you, I don't think your clients belong in jail. But I don't get to make that decision. I represent the Government of the United States. Without passion or prejudice. And my client has a case.
(pause) I want you to acknowledge that the judge advocate has made you aware of the possible consequences involved in accusing a marine officer of a felony without proper evidence.
KAFFEE:
I've been so advised.
ROSS stands up and heaves a few dollars on the table.
ROSS:
You got bullied into that courtroom, Danny. By everyone. By Dawson, by Galloway, sh*t, I practically dared you. Not for a second have you believed you could win. You got bullied into that room by the memory of a dead lawyer.
KAFFEE:
(pause) You're a lousy softball player, Jack.
ROSS:
Your boys are going down. I can't stop it anymore.
CUT TO:
INT. COURTHOUSE CORRIDOR - DAY People are filing in. KENDRICK is standing at the entrance to the courtroom. KAFFEE glides past him...
KAFFEE:
Batter up, J.J.
KENDRICK watches this impudent thing walk into the courtroom as we
CUT TO:
INT. THE COURTROOM - DAY KENDRICK's on the stand. What drives Kaffee's entire examination of Kendrick is this: Kaffee's got him. He's gonna win. At least this round. All he has to do is not let his emotions take control of his professional skill.
SAM will have files and documents ready to hand Kaffee as he needs them.
KAFFEE:
Lt. Kendrick, in your opinion, was Private Santiago a good marine?
