All Rise! Have the court members reached a verdict?

Member

We have, Sir.

Judge

[reading the verdict]

Lance Corporal Dawson, Private First Class Downey: On the charge of murder, the members find the accused not guilty. On the charge of conspiracy to commit murder, the members find the accused not guilty. On the charge of conduct unbecoming a United States Marine, the members find the accused guilty as charged. The accused are hereby sentenced to time already served, and you are ordered to be dishonorably discharged from the Marine Corps. This court martial is adjourned.

Bailiff

All rise.

Downey

What does that mean? Hal, what does that mean? I don't understand. Colonel Jessep said he ordered the code red.

Joanne

I know.

Downey

Colonel Jessep said he ordered the Code Red. What did we do wrong?

Joanne

It's not that simple.

Downey

What did we do wrong? We did nothing wrong!

Hal

Yeah we did. We were supposed to fight for people who couldn't fight for themselves. We were supposed to fight for Willy.
