[General Friedrich Fromm walks into a room where the plotters are lined up and surrounded by guards]
General Friedrich Fromm: If you have any last messages to your wives and children, I will hear them now. [Silence] Very well. A court martial convened by me in the Fuhrer's absence will pronounce sentence. Beck, you're under arrest. Colonel Mertz von Quirnheim, General Olbricht, Lieutenant Haeften, and the Colonel whose name I will not mention, are condemned to death.
Major Otto Remer: General, my orders are to take these men alive.
Fromm: Noted, Major.
Ludwig Beck: I'd like a pistol please. [General Fromm looks at him suspiciously] For personal reasons.
Fromm: [Takes pistol to a nearby table] Get on with it.
Remer: With all respect sir-
Fromm: That will be all, Major!
General Friedrich Olbricht: Killing us won't hide your involvement.
Fromm: My involvement? I don't know what you're talking about.
Lieutenant Werner von Haeften: You knew and did nothing. You're as guilty as any of us.
Fromm: [Scoffing] Spare me, Lieutenant.
Col. Claus Von Stauffenberg: No one will be spared.
