COL Winter
[The prisoner riot has been halted; the guards have M-16's trained on the yard, all armed with live ammunition. Colonel Winter, Captain Peretz and an additional force of guards move into the yard]
All prisoners will get on the ground, now! [the prisoners remain standing; Winter turns to Irwin] I will give that command one, final time. Then I will fire into them. Surely you don't want that on your conscience, Prisoner Irwin? All prisoners, get down on the ground, now!
Irwin
[the inmates still don't move; Winter goes to speak into a radio handset]
Wait.
Yates
We don't have to do this. We'll fight on.
Irwin
No. It ends here. [raises his voice] Men, get down. [the prisoners obey, lying prone, but Yates doesn't move] You, too, Yates. That's an order. [Yates complies; Colonel Winter approaches Irwin]
COL Winter
Now... Give me my flag.
Irwin
It's not your flag.
