Time Limit

Maj. Harry Cargill: A man can be a hero all his life, but if in the last month of it, or the last week, or even the last minute, the pressure becomes too great and he breaks, then he's branded for life. You can't ask a man to be a hero forever. There ought to be a time limit.
Lt. Gen. J. Connors: There is no defense for treason.

[Colonel William Edwards can be seen arriving and heading towards an office. Sitting at a desk nearby is Corporal Jean Evans]
Cpl. Jean Evans: Colonel Edwards, it's a good thing you're back.
Col. William Edwards: [Hangs up his coat and hat] Yeah, I'm sorry I kept Miller waiting.
Cpl. Jean Evans: Well, it's not that sir. The General called, twice.
[Edwards lets out an annoyed sigh before putting the case he's carrying on the desk. After that, he walks off as Evans looks at the case]

[Lt. Gen. Connors can be seen in his office. As he's working, a knock can be heard on the door]
Lt. Gen. J. Connors: Yes?
[the door opens and a Colonel enters. This is William Edwards.]
Col. William Edwards: You sent for me, sir?
Lt. Gen. J. Connors: Oh, yes, Bill. Come in, I've been waiting for you.

[Col. William Edwards can be seen speaking with Lt. General Connors in the latter's office]
Col. William Edwards: I'm sorry, sir. I had to interview some people on the Cargill case.
Lt. Gen. J. Connors: Off the post?
Col. William Edwards: Yes, sir. That was the best way to see them. Civilians.

[Col. William Edwards can be seen speaking with Sgt. Baker, the latter who is smoking a cigar]
Col. William Edwards: Okay, Baker. What's up?
Sgt. Baker: Why, nothing, sir. Nothing at all.
Col. William Edwards: [puts his jacket on the back of his chair] Now, don't kid me. With you, it's never nothing.
Sgt. Baker: Oh, that's a very unfriendly remark, sir. Indicates a complete lack of trust and confidence.
Col. William Edwards: [sarcastically] Oh, I'm terrible sorry I hurt your feelings, Baker.
[Edwards sits down in his chair]
Col. William Edwards: Now, what do you want?
Sgt. Baker: [enters the Colonel's office] May I take that as permission to discuss this matter further?
Col. William Edwards: All I have to do is breath and you take it as permission.

[Col. William Edwards can be seen speaking with Sgt. Baker in the former's office]
Sgt. Baker: Sir, what are extenuating circumstances?
[Edwards looks up at Baker]
Sgt. Baker: [catches himself] Oh, I don't mean that. I mean, couldn't something be extenuating circumstances to one person and not to another, sir?
Col. William Edwards: That's always a matter of opinion, Baker.

[at a Korean POW camp, a Colonel can be seen standing in front of some American prisoners. This is Colonel Kim. He looks at the troops and nods while smiling]
Col. Kim: Sit down.
[the troops proceed to sit as the Colonel take off his hat and hands it to a Korean soldier who is sitting at the wheel of a truck]
Col. Kim: Today, we will review the lecture of yesterday. The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles. Struggles between the oppressors and the oppressed.
[the American are shown shivering as they try to stay warm. A few of them begin coughing, signifying that some of them are ill. The Colonel moves closer to them as he signals for them to be silent. After a few seconds, the troops are silent]
Col. Kim: Now, repeat after me. "Communism is Peace." Ready? Communism is...
[the American begin coughing again, with some even laughing. The Colonel watches them for a few seconds before he sarcastically laughs with them]
Col. Kim: Well, comrades. Since you don't choose to listen to me, perhaps...
[the Colonel speaks to the soldiers who are present. He gives them an order in Korean before one of them heads to the back of the truck and opens it. Seconds later, a Major can be seen entering the view and approaching the Colonel. This is Major Harry Cargill]
Col. Kim: Comrade Cargill, the class is yours.

[at a Korean POW camp, Major Harry Cargill can be seen speaking to a group of American prisoners, who are all huddled together and shivering from the cold temperature. Also present is Colonel Kim]
Maj. Harry Cargill: I know this will come as a surprise to you, but... but I hope you will cooperate with me.
[the troops all look at him in silence]
Maj. Harry Cargill: For our first session, we will approach the subject, from a historical point of view. The... as, Colonel Kim has said, the history of all previous existing societies, has been the history of the class struggle. The bourgeoisie, which owns and controls the means, and instruments of production, has exploited the working class which depends on it. But, thereby the bourgeoisie has also forged the weapons of its own destruction. It... it...
Col. Kim: You're doing very well, Major.
[Colonel Kim puts his hand on Cargill's shoulder]
Col. Kim: He doesn't need me here.
[the Colonel looks at Cargill again as the troops continue to watch]
Col. Kim: Continue.
[Kim looks the troops again]
Col. Kim: Oh yes, a word of warning. Any harm to this comrade, will bring reprisals on everyone.
[the Colonel gets into a nearby truck. Seconds later, the driver starts up the truck before driving off, leaving Cargill the the POWs where they are]

[Colonel William Edwards can be seen speaking with Lt. George Miller, the latter who has just finished a story regarding Major Cargill]
Lt. George Miller: I don't understand. Not even to this day, sir. I just don't understand.
[Edwards stands up from his chair as he tries to understand what he's been told]
Col. William Edwards: And that was the first indication that Cargill had gone over. Huh?
Lt. George Miller: Yes, sir. That's the first indication we had.

[in his office, Colonel William Edwards is speaking with Lt. George Miller about Major Cargill]
Col. William Edwards: After that one time, did he continue these activities?
Lt. George Miller: Yes, sir. Right up till the time we left Gee Gee to be exchanged.
Col. William Edwards: I see.
[Edwards heads over to his desk]
Col. William Edwards: Well, Miller, uh... what else did he do that you'd consider collaboration?
Lt. George Miller: Well, sir, we heard me made radio broadcasts for them saying the United States had used germ warfare. Of course, we only heard about that. I know he signed one of those germ warfare confessions, 'cause I saw one of them.
[Edwards reaches into his desk and pulls out a piece of paper, which is about the subject that was just mentioned]
Col. William Edwards: Like this?
Lt. George Miller: Yes, sir. That's it.

[Lt. George Miller can be seen speaking with Colonel William Edwards regarding the subject of Major Cargill]
Col. William Edwards: Did he also make newsreels for the enemy?
Lt. George Miller: Newsreels?
Col. William Edwards: Yes.
Lt. George Miller: No, sir. No, he couldn't have.

[at the headquarters, Colonel William Edwards can be seen speaking with Sergeant Baker]
Col. William Edwards: How did... uh... Fleischacker know that Miller was in here?
Sgt. Baker: You know, Fleischacker, sir. He's a one-man radar system.
[Baker hangs up a piece of paper on a bulliten board]
Col. William Edwards: Yeah.

[at the military headquarters, Corporal Jean Evans approaches Colonel William Edwards and hands him some papers]
Cpl. Jean Evans: Sir, these are finished.
Col. William Edwards: [softly] Oh, thanks.
[Edwards takes the papers and goes into his office]
