INT. THE COURTROOM - DAY

Everyone stands at attention as RANDOLPH enters. SAM is
missing.

RANDOLPH
(to KAFFEE)
Call your witness.

KAFFEE
Where's Sam?

JO
He'll be here.

RANDOLPH
Lieutenant, call your witness.

KAFFEE
Defense calls Colonel Nathan Jessep.

JESSEP is escorted in through a side door. He's wearing his
dress uniforms, adorned with the appropriate medals.









ROSS
Colonel, do you solemnly swear that the
testimony you will give in this General
Court-Martial will be the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth so help
you God?

JESSEP
Yes I do.

ROSS
Would you state your name, rank, and
current billet for the record please, air?

JESSEP
Colonel Nathan R. Jessep, Commanding
officer, Marine Ground Forces, Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba.

ROSS
Thank you, sir, would you have a seat,
please.

JESSEP sits.

KAFFEE
Colonel, when you learned of Santiago's
letter to the NIS, you had a meeting witht
your two senior officers, is that right?

JESSEP
Yes.

KAFFEE
The Executive Officer, Lt. Jonathan
Kendrick, and the Company Commander,
Captain Matthew Markinson.

JESSEP
Yes.

KAFFEE
And at present, Captain Markinson is dead,
is that right?

ROSS
Objection. I'd like to know just what
defense counsel is implying?

KAFFEE
I'm implying simply that, at present,
Captain Markinson is not alive.

ROSS
Surely Colonel Jessep doesn't need to
appear in this courtroom to confirm that
information.




KAFFEE
I just wasn't sure if the witness was
aware that two days ago, Captain Markinson
took his own life with a .45 caliber
pistol.

And from the back of the room, SAM enters. He's escorting
two young AIRMEN in Airforce dress uniforms. SAM shows the
AIRMEN to a seat near the front, and takes his place at the
defense table.

Over this we HEAM--

RANDOLPH (O.S.)
The witness is aware, the Court is aware,
and now the jury is aware. We thank you
for bringing this to our attention. Move
