Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:03,327 --> 00:01:05,818
On behalf of the president
of the United States
2
00:01:05,996 --> 00:01:07,739
and the commandant
of the Marine Corps,
3
00:01:08,332 --> 00:01:09,992
I have the honour
of returning the remains
4
00:01:10,167 --> 00:01:12,658
of Private First Class
Jimmy Blackhorse
5
00:01:12,836 --> 00:01:14,793
to his family for burial.
6
00:01:29,686 --> 00:01:33,435
Ain't him. He had the spirit of light.
7
00:01:33,607 --> 00:01:36,062
This one is in darkness.
8
00:01:36,234 --> 00:01:40,148
- Ma'am, with all due respect...
- This is not him.
9
00:02:03,553 --> 00:02:06,388
Following in his father's footsteps
as a Naval aviator,
10
00:02:06,556 --> 00:02:08,679
Lieutenant Commander
Harmon Rabb Jr.
11
00:02:08,850 --> 00:02:11,091
Suffered a crash while landing
his Tomcat
12
00:02:11,269 --> 00:02:13,724
on a storm-tossed carrier at sea.
13
00:02:13,896 --> 00:02:15,556
Diagnosed with night blindness,
14
00:02:15,731 --> 00:02:18,732
Harm transferred to the Navy's
Judge Advocate General Corps,
15
00:02:18,901 --> 00:02:23,148
which investigates, defends
and prosecutes the law of the sea.
16
00:02:23,322 --> 00:02:26,193
There, with fellow JAG lawyer
Major Sarah MacKenzie,
17
00:02:26,367 --> 00:02:28,490
he now fights in and out
of the courtroom
18
00:02:28,661 --> 00:02:34,284
with the same daring and tenacity
that made him a top gun in the air.
19
00:03:43,735 --> 00:03:45,063
Excuse me.
20
00:03:45,236 --> 00:03:46,778
Hey.
21
00:03:48,156 --> 00:03:50,647
I gave up cigars last night.
22
00:03:54,328 --> 00:03:55,988
Any words of encouragement?
23
00:03:56,164 --> 00:03:58,240
Don't get fat.
24
00:03:59,208 --> 00:04:00,240
Good point, sir.
25
00:04:01,169 --> 00:04:04,253
- Excuse me, gentlemen, ma'am.
- What is it, lieutenant?
26
00:04:04,422 --> 00:04:06,498
- Is this a bad time, sir?
- What?
27
00:04:07,133 --> 00:04:10,466
We were hoping that you could settle
a disagreement that we're having.
28
00:04:10,636 --> 00:04:12,676
As you know,
we're having a full military wedding...
29
00:04:12,847 --> 00:04:16,346
He wants me to wear my uniform
instead of my dress.
30
00:04:16,517 --> 00:04:17,632
Good God, Roberts.
31
00:04:17,810 --> 00:04:20,099
Let the woman wear a dress
to her own wedding.
32
00:04:20,563 --> 00:04:21,594
Yes, sir.
33
00:04:21,772 --> 00:04:22,970
And while we're at it,
34
00:04:23,149 --> 00:04:25,188
might we get your position
on the bunny hop, sir?
35
00:04:25,651 --> 00:04:27,193
No.
36
00:04:28,445 --> 00:04:30,568
Well, it looks like
we have a quorum, sir.
37
00:04:30,739 --> 00:04:32,281
Something you'd like to tell us?
38
00:04:33,909 --> 00:04:35,949
I overheard you talking
with Petty Officer Tiner
39
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,702
about the dispute over the remains
of that Navajo code talker.
40
00:04:39,873 --> 00:04:43,076
Oh, yeah. I just got off the phone
with Admiral Drake.
41
00:04:43,252 --> 00:04:44,331
What's a code talker?
42
00:04:44,503 --> 00:04:46,958
Navajo field-radio operators
communicated with each other
43
00:04:47,130 --> 00:04:50,665
in their native language during
the Pacific campaign during WWll.
44
00:04:50,842 --> 00:04:53,298
Japanese intelligence
was never able to crack it.
45
00:04:53,470 --> 00:04:56,091
March of '43,
a PFC, Jimmy Blackhorse,
46
00:04:56,264 --> 00:04:58,553
disappeared while on R and R
in New Zealand,
47
00:04:58,725 --> 00:05:02,225
one week before he was to be
awarded the Navy Cross for valour.
48
00:05:02,396 --> 00:05:03,594
Bones showed up two months ago.
49
00:05:03,772 --> 00:05:06,892
Press jumped all over it,
politicos climbed on board.
50
00:05:07,067 --> 00:05:08,858
Now his family's disputing the ID
51
00:05:09,027 --> 00:05:11,732
made by the Central Identification
Laboratory in Hawaii.
52
00:05:11,905 --> 00:05:14,111
As if CILHI needed
any more bad publicity
53
00:05:14,282 --> 00:05:16,489
after the Vietnam-Unknown-Soldier
case.
54
00:05:16,660 --> 00:05:18,569
Thus the problem.
55
00:05:18,745 --> 00:05:22,244
The Pentagon's got a vested interest
in defending the lab's rep,
56
00:05:22,415 --> 00:05:25,582
especially since it helped an Arizona
congressman push through a bill
57
00:05:25,752 --> 00:05:29,417
naming a new Austin-class
amphibious transport
58
00:05:29,589 --> 00:05:30,787
after Private Blackhorse.
59
00:05:30,965 --> 00:05:32,507
Egg on the face, sir.
60
00:05:32,675 --> 00:05:34,419
And we are the towel.
61
00:05:34,594 --> 00:05:36,421
- I want you to ride herd on this.
- Yes, sir.
62
00:05:36,596 --> 00:05:39,763
Bones are in safekeeping
in Marine Corps Air Station in Yuma.
63
00:05:39,932 --> 00:05:44,262
Bear in mind, Navajo code talkers
are held in great reverence.
64
00:05:44,437 --> 00:05:45,552
Be respectful.
65
00:05:45,730 --> 00:05:47,141
Yes, sir.
66
00:05:47,315 --> 00:05:50,269
- Bud, you'll be my liaison with CILHI.
- Aye, aye, sir.
67
00:05:50,443 --> 00:05:53,693
You can go as well, ensign.
You can assist the major.
68
00:05:54,488 --> 00:05:56,611
- Me, sir?
- Please.
69
00:05:57,408 --> 00:05:58,439
Yes, sir.
70
00:05:58,618 --> 00:06:00,444
- Let's get to work.
- Yes, sir.
71
00:06:01,871 --> 00:06:04,622
- Excuse me.
- Bud?
72
00:06:13,424 --> 00:06:15,297
Sewer workers
in Wellington Bay, New Zealand
73
00:06:15,467 --> 00:06:17,756
found the remains
at the bottom of a ravine.
74
00:06:17,928 --> 00:06:20,253
PFC Jimmy Blackhorse
was stationed nearby
75
00:06:20,431 --> 00:06:22,304
at Camp McKay
with the Fighting Six Marines.
76
00:06:22,474 --> 00:06:26,258
They were resting up after
their engagement on Guadalcanal.
77
00:06:26,729 --> 00:06:29,564
Eighteen bones and four teeth
were discovered.
78
00:06:29,731 --> 00:06:33,147
All of them are identified
as being Native American in origin.
79
00:06:33,569 --> 00:06:36,653
- Navajo?
- They weren't that specific, ma'am.
80
00:06:36,822 --> 00:06:41,116
But the teeth did match
Private Blackhorse's dental record.
81
00:06:41,285 --> 00:06:44,202
Also uncovered
was a Marine-issue belt buckle
82
00:06:44,371 --> 00:06:48,238
and a watch with an inscription that,
when translated from the Navajo, read:
83
00:06:48,417 --> 00:06:50,326
"Jimmy Blackhorse, warrior."
84
00:06:55,048 --> 00:06:57,337
When we were children,
85
00:06:57,509 --> 00:07:00,426
I used to steal Jimmy's pants
while he was swimming
86
00:07:01,096 --> 00:07:04,050
and tie them
to the tail of his horse.
87
00:07:04,224 --> 00:07:05,599
He never got mad.
88
00:07:06,518 --> 00:07:11,310
No matter how many times I did it,
it would always make him laugh.
89
00:07:14,734 --> 00:07:16,940
Those bones
belong to someone else.
90
00:07:17,111 --> 00:07:18,689
But the watch?
91
00:07:19,239 --> 00:07:23,817
Whoever it is could have found it,
stolen it.
92
00:07:23,993 --> 00:07:26,567
Maybe won it in a card game.
93
00:07:27,580 --> 00:07:31,364
As for the teeth,
that's four out of 32.
94
00:07:31,542 --> 00:07:34,460
Ma'am, we understand you are the
medicine woman in the community
95
00:07:34,629 --> 00:07:35,874
and we mean no disrespect,
96
00:07:36,047 --> 00:07:41,041
but CILHI would not have made the ID
if they hadn't been sure.
97
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:48,556
"Unknown Soldier identification
procedure considered suspect."
98
00:07:53,522 --> 00:07:59,892
You have already shown disrespect
by disturbing the remains of this man.
99
00:08:00,070 --> 00:08:01,814
You must bury those bones.
100
00:08:01,989 --> 00:08:04,112
Unfortunately,
that's not gonna happen, ma'am,
101
00:08:04,283 --> 00:08:06,322
until both sides are satisfied.
102
00:08:07,828 --> 00:08:10,319
We cannot be satisfied
with your methods.
103
00:08:10,497 --> 00:08:13,913
Records indicate that
Jimmy Blackhorse has a living twin.
104
00:08:14,084 --> 00:08:15,365
He's my husband.
105
00:08:17,087 --> 00:08:18,581
Could we speak to him?
106
00:08:57,127 --> 00:09:01,705
She says I'm not in harmony
with my environment.
107
00:09:01,881 --> 00:09:04,207
Mr. Blackhorse,
if this is not a good time, sir, we...
108
00:09:14,185 --> 00:09:16,391
I hear they found a watch.
109
00:09:16,854 --> 00:09:18,313
Yes, sir.
110
00:09:27,907 --> 00:09:30,315
It was a gift from me.
111
00:09:32,870 --> 00:09:35,491
I couldn't pass the physical,
112
00:09:36,332 --> 00:09:39,333
so my brother enlisted by himself.
113
00:09:41,212 --> 00:09:42,670
I wanted him to know...
114
00:09:45,049 --> 00:09:51,419
...there wasn't a minute that passed
when I wasn't thinking of him.
115
00:09:53,724 --> 00:09:57,010
I got TB when I was 7.
116
00:09:59,730 --> 00:10:02,185
He used to carry me around.
117
00:10:04,985 --> 00:10:06,894
Protect me.
118
00:10:10,032 --> 00:10:12,274
Never complained.
119
00:10:16,413 --> 00:10:18,453
Margaret says...
120
00:10:19,333 --> 00:10:20,957
...it's not him.
121
00:10:21,626 --> 00:10:23,370
What do you think, sir?
122
00:10:23,545 --> 00:10:26,499
He trusts my judgement.
123
00:10:26,673 --> 00:10:29,246
I know what your scientists don't.
124
00:10:29,426 --> 00:10:31,549
Spirit can't be killed.
125
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,258
We are to do
the Beauty Way ceremony.
126
00:10:34,431 --> 00:10:36,673
Ma'am, in order for
the Pentagon to accept
127
00:10:36,850 --> 00:10:39,056
that these are not the bones
of Jimmy Blackhorse,
128
00:10:39,227 --> 00:10:41,386
they need scientific proof.
129
00:10:41,563 --> 00:10:45,014
And Johnny needs to be alone.
130
00:10:52,657 --> 00:10:54,815
We have to invite him.
He's my uncle.
131
00:10:54,993 --> 00:10:58,611
- I thought you said he was the devil.
- He's still my uncle.
132
00:11:01,749 --> 00:11:03,742
Hey, Mac.
133
00:11:03,918 --> 00:11:06,587
Is it too much to ask
for a little company that's breathing?
134
00:11:06,754 --> 00:11:09,672
Don't tell me dead bodies
make you uncomfortable.
135
00:11:09,841 --> 00:11:11,964
Only when they move.
136
00:11:14,470 --> 00:11:17,092
So you finally gave up the habit?
137
00:11:17,265 --> 00:11:18,427
Yeah.
138
00:11:18,599 --> 00:11:20,177
Why?
139
00:11:20,351 --> 00:11:21,929
Well, it...
140
00:11:23,354 --> 00:11:24,978
It was becoming an addiction.
141
00:11:25,147 --> 00:11:29,275
Until, well...
You know, I had to wrestle with it.
142
00:11:29,443 --> 00:11:31,934
I mean, I was rushing my meals
to get to the smoke.
143
00:11:32,113 --> 00:11:36,774
I was counting my stash, forgetting
my keys, remembering cigars.
144
00:11:39,662 --> 00:11:42,449
Lieutenant Commander Coulter,
Lieutenant Commander Rabb.
145
00:11:42,623 --> 00:11:46,573
Major Mackenzie,
Lieutenant J.G. Roberts, Ensign Sims.
146
00:11:46,752 --> 00:11:50,452
- Thanks for flying in.
- Thank the Armed Forces DNA lab.
147
00:11:50,631 --> 00:11:51,876
I didn't wanna come.
148
00:11:52,049 --> 00:11:55,334
My godson is playing King Arthur in
his high-school production of Camelot.
149
00:11:55,511 --> 00:11:57,717
One performance only.
150
00:11:59,806 --> 00:12:00,969
Reservist.
151
00:12:01,141 --> 00:12:03,300
Been out for six years
working as a forensic pathologist
152
00:12:03,477 --> 00:12:05,765
for the Memphis Police Department.
153
00:12:05,938 --> 00:12:09,389
I consult with AFDIL
on a per-case basis.
154
00:12:10,317 --> 00:12:13,271
- They must think a lot of you.
- I have a way with the dead.
155
00:12:14,654 --> 00:12:18,522
A body reveals more about itself
on a slab than when it was alive.
156
00:12:18,700 --> 00:12:20,075
You can see the shape of the spine,
157
00:12:20,243 --> 00:12:22,734
and whether a person stood tall
or crawled through life.
158
00:12:23,121 --> 00:12:25,826
The wrinkles in the face tell you
if a person was scared or happy.
159
00:12:25,999 --> 00:12:29,249
Legs and feet show you if they
jumped or stumbled over obstacles.
160
00:12:29,419 --> 00:12:30,582
This was a stumbler.
161
00:12:30,754 --> 00:12:32,912
Both the left tibia and femur
are shattered.
162
00:12:33,089 --> 00:12:34,998
And there's considerable damage
to the ilium.
163
00:12:35,633 --> 00:12:38,338
Man in question fell from
a great height, landed on his side.
164
00:12:38,511 --> 00:12:40,504
These findings
consistent with CILHI?
165
00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:42,340
CILHI has overreached,
in my opinion.
166
00:12:42,515 --> 00:12:44,971
As we thought,
we're gonna have to do an RFLP.
167
00:12:46,644 --> 00:12:48,186
A DNA-matching procedure.
168
00:12:48,354 --> 00:12:50,430
Dental records aren't enough for you,
commander?
169
00:12:50,607 --> 00:12:52,765
The evidence in general
is legally vulnerable.
170
00:12:52,942 --> 00:12:54,223
The records are 57 years old.
171
00:12:54,402 --> 00:12:56,525
There are only two molars
and one of them is cracked.
172
00:12:56,696 --> 00:12:58,688
If this is your boat,
you better start bailing.
173
00:12:59,282 --> 00:13:01,488
The mother provides
the most conclusive DNA match.
174
00:13:01,659 --> 00:13:04,150
Children will work.
Father, sometimes.
175
00:13:04,328 --> 00:13:07,163
The parents are long gone and there
are no children that we know of.
176
00:13:07,331 --> 00:13:10,001
- What about a twin brother?
- There's a twin?
177
00:13:10,167 --> 00:13:11,496
Doesn't get any better than that.
178
00:13:11,669 --> 00:13:13,080
Listen, why don't we
grab some lunch.
179
00:13:13,254 --> 00:13:16,171
We can ride in one vehicle
and you can talk us through it.
180
00:13:16,966 --> 00:13:18,840
Commander Coulter.
181
00:13:19,593 --> 00:13:22,001
Just missed you at the morgue.
182
00:13:23,764 --> 00:13:25,721
Paul Begay.
183
00:13:25,891 --> 00:13:28,892
- I'll be representing The People in this.
- What people?
184
00:13:29,061 --> 00:13:31,896
That's the term the Navajo use
to describe themselves.
185
00:13:32,064 --> 00:13:33,891
We are Din�, The People.
186
00:13:34,066 --> 00:13:37,269
I'm Lieutenant Commander Rabb,
Navy Judge Advocate General Corps.
187
00:13:37,444 --> 00:13:39,437
Can you clarify what you mean
by represent?
188
00:13:39,613 --> 00:13:42,400
The tribal council in Window Rock
has secured my services
189
00:13:42,574 --> 00:13:43,606
in response to the claims
190
00:13:43,784 --> 00:13:46,571
the military has refused to recognise
the judgement of The People.
191
00:13:46,745 --> 00:13:49,414
Mr. Begay, the military
is only interested in determining
192
00:13:49,581 --> 00:13:52,748
the positive identification
of 55-year-old remains.
193
00:13:52,918 --> 00:13:54,910
That's why I wanted to speak with
Commander Coulter.
194
00:13:55,087 --> 00:13:57,210
Commander, how do you plan
to make that determination?
195
00:13:57,381 --> 00:13:59,089
- You don't have to...
- With a DNA match.
196
00:13:59,466 --> 00:14:00,925
That's unacceptable.
197
00:14:01,093 --> 00:14:03,548
It's a sacrilege to tamper
with the remains of the dead.
198
00:14:04,721 --> 00:14:06,381
Counsellor, be reasonable.
199
00:14:06,556 --> 00:14:09,723
How can you expect us
to prove anything with our hands tied?
200
00:14:09,893 --> 00:14:10,924
I don't.
201
00:14:11,102 --> 00:14:14,187
The proof has already been provided
by The People themselves.
202
00:14:14,356 --> 00:14:16,681
Those are not the remains
of Jimmy Blackhorse.
203
00:14:16,858 --> 00:14:18,601
They belong to someone else.
204
00:14:31,623 --> 00:14:33,829
I don't understand.
This is the first ship in its class
205
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,375
to be named after a Navajo.
206
00:14:35,543 --> 00:14:37,121
Isn't that an honour?
207
00:14:37,295 --> 00:14:41,079
The People don't need the white world
to affirm our status in the cosmos.
208
00:14:41,257 --> 00:14:44,044
Well, it looks like the white world's
done well by you, counsellor.
209
00:14:45,303 --> 00:14:46,548
Would you be more comfortable
210
00:14:46,721 --> 00:14:50,469
if I painted my face
and wore a flap over my privates?
211
00:14:50,641 --> 00:14:53,097
Just making an observation.
212
00:14:53,269 --> 00:14:54,348
Cornell Law.
213
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,928
Third in my class
and damn proud of it.
214
00:14:57,106 --> 00:14:59,644
And well you should be.
You live on the reservation?
215
00:14:59,817 --> 00:15:00,932
You know I don't.
216
00:15:01,110 --> 00:15:03,435
- Where exactly?
- Marin County.
217
00:15:03,612 --> 00:15:06,981
Look, there was
more than one code talker.
218
00:15:07,158 --> 00:15:08,984
Why doesn't the Navy
just pick another name?
219
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,152
This name's already been approved.
220
00:15:11,328 --> 00:15:16,037
So you're asking my people
to be flexible where you're not?
221
00:15:16,208 --> 00:15:17,489
We're asking for a fair chance.
222
00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:22,004
You've got some
Native American blood in you, major.
223
00:15:22,172 --> 00:15:25,257
- Cherokee.
- I'm surprised you're not getting this.
224
00:15:26,176 --> 00:15:27,884
Mr. Begay,
according to my understanding
225
00:15:28,053 --> 00:15:32,466
of the history of Native America,
the Navajo were an adaptable people.
226
00:15:32,641 --> 00:15:34,681
The Cherokee had to be forced
onto reservations.
227
00:15:34,852 --> 00:15:38,018
Your instincts should be to accept,
mine to resist.
228
00:15:38,188 --> 00:15:40,062
I'm surprised you're not getting that.
229
00:15:42,568 --> 00:15:45,237
The People were forced to adapt
to the physical world,
230
00:15:45,404 --> 00:15:47,396
but the beyond is controlled
by the spirits.
231
00:15:47,572 --> 00:15:49,779
The Navajo Nation Tribal Council
232
00:15:49,950 --> 00:15:52,026
supports the medicine woman's
position in this matter.
233
00:15:52,202 --> 00:15:54,408
But you're asking us
to take her word for it.
234
00:15:54,579 --> 00:15:56,453
Isn't that what
the Navy is doing with you?
235
00:15:56,623 --> 00:15:59,458
I have proven scientific methods
to support my claims.
236
00:15:59,626 --> 00:16:01,702
And I have the creator
to support mine.
237
00:16:05,715 --> 00:16:07,507
Good day.
238
00:16:08,259 --> 00:16:11,842
Paul Begay is a Silicon Valley attorney
239
00:16:12,013 --> 00:16:15,382
with a speciality in software liability.
240
00:16:15,558 --> 00:16:17,467
I knew that "my people" stuff
was a load.
241
00:16:17,644 --> 00:16:19,885
I'll wager this is the first time
his people have seen him
242
00:16:20,063 --> 00:16:21,474
since he left the reservation.
243
00:16:21,648 --> 00:16:23,391
He is in our way, commander.
244
00:16:23,566 --> 00:16:26,567
Admiral Drake has seen the news.
He likes the PR angle.
245
00:16:26,736 --> 00:16:30,319
Popular war, Native American hero.
He wants to stay with it.
246
00:16:30,490 --> 00:16:33,241
Sir, have you explained
the downside to his PR angle?
247
00:16:33,409 --> 00:16:35,402
He expects you to make it go away.
248
00:16:35,578 --> 00:16:38,413
I don't think that's gonna happen
through negotiations, sir.
249
00:16:38,581 --> 00:16:43,409
Despite Navajo beliefs, the Navy
has a justifiable interest in identifying
250
00:16:43,586 --> 00:16:47,251
what appears to be the remains
of a deceased military member.
251
00:16:47,423 --> 00:16:49,795
Can you hang on a second, admiral?
252
00:16:49,967 --> 00:16:53,051
Lieutenant, is there a problem?
253
00:16:54,513 --> 00:16:56,138
Sit-down or buffet, sir?
254
00:16:56,307 --> 00:16:58,595
Buffet. Save your money.
255
00:17:02,021 --> 00:17:03,930
All right. You were saying, sir?
256
00:17:04,106 --> 00:17:05,648
Go ahead with the DNA procedure.
257
00:17:05,816 --> 00:17:07,310
Make it their move.
258
00:17:07,484 --> 00:17:10,735
I believe the Navajo Nation
has a tribal court.
259
00:17:10,904 --> 00:17:14,949
Once you get your match, you can
petition them for official sanction.
260
00:17:15,117 --> 00:17:17,026
- Yes, sir.
- Keep me in the mix.
261
00:17:17,202 --> 00:17:18,697
Aye, sir.
262
00:17:23,167 --> 00:17:25,373
Commander, think you could
come back with us?
263
00:17:25,544 --> 00:17:26,623
How far did you say it was?
264
00:17:26,795 --> 00:17:28,622
It's about four hours.
265
00:17:28,797 --> 00:17:30,208
Well...
266
00:17:30,465 --> 00:17:32,292
...if I have to.
267
00:17:33,969 --> 00:17:35,629
Let's go.
268
00:18:01,329 --> 00:18:04,828
- You're looking stronger, Johnny.
- Thank you.
269
00:18:06,292 --> 00:18:08,783
These are our neighbours,
Sammy and Adele Wheeler.
270
00:18:08,962 --> 00:18:11,916
- Hi, this is Juliette Na Na Bah.
- Oh, she's so cute.
271
00:18:12,090 --> 00:18:14,960
- How old is she?
- Three months.
272
00:18:15,134 --> 00:18:16,545
You must be Dried Corn Stalk.
273
00:18:16,719 --> 00:18:19,471
- I beg your pardon?
- That's what Margaret calls you.
274
00:18:19,639 --> 00:18:21,678
Must be your height in the uniform.
275
00:18:23,101 --> 00:18:25,936
Johnny, this is Lieutenant Commander
Theresa Coulter.
276
00:18:26,104 --> 00:18:28,939
The commander
is a forensic pathologist.
277
00:18:29,357 --> 00:18:32,061
Those words are too big
to hold in my mouth.
278
00:18:32,652 --> 00:18:36,103
I investigate how people die,
how they lived, who they were.
279
00:18:37,281 --> 00:18:39,404
Can you tell that from these bones?
280
00:18:39,575 --> 00:18:40,690
Yes.
281
00:18:40,868 --> 00:18:42,066
How?
282
00:18:42,244 --> 00:18:43,407
Johnny...
283
00:18:44,705 --> 00:18:47,540
You ever heard of DNA testing?
284
00:18:48,125 --> 00:18:49,454
Bloody glove, Johnny.
285
00:18:49,627 --> 00:18:53,671
They wanna take stuff
from the inside of those bones.
286
00:18:53,839 --> 00:18:55,250
Don't let them do that.
287
00:18:56,842 --> 00:18:58,669
Are they right?
288
00:18:58,844 --> 00:19:01,631
Do you have to take something
from these bones?
289
00:19:02,264 --> 00:19:03,462
A marrow sample.
290
00:19:05,476 --> 00:19:06,555
That's not good.
291
00:19:06,727 --> 00:19:10,559
What about closure, Johnny?
Closure for you and your brother.
292
00:19:11,648 --> 00:19:13,641
I don't know.
293
00:19:14,109 --> 00:19:15,936
I'll have to think about it.
294
00:19:16,111 --> 00:19:17,985
If there are any questions
I can answer...
295
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,526
- What do you think of insects?
- Not much.
296
00:19:23,702 --> 00:19:26,738
Then you better kick that scorpion
off your shoe.
297
00:19:34,838 --> 00:19:36,380
You find this funny?
298
00:19:36,798 --> 00:19:38,791
No, she does.
299
00:19:38,967 --> 00:19:40,591
This is the first time she's laughed.
300
00:19:41,177 --> 00:19:42,292
Navajos have a tradition.
301
00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:44,262
Whoever is the first
to make a child laugh
302
00:19:44,431 --> 00:19:46,507
must throw a feast in their honour.
303
00:19:46,683 --> 00:19:47,928
You could use our place.
304
00:19:48,977 --> 00:19:50,519
When am I supposed to do this?
305
00:19:51,688 --> 00:19:53,099
Today's cool.
306
00:20:28,265 --> 00:20:29,760
Well, here we go.
307
00:20:29,934 --> 00:20:31,761
Yeah, that will be great.
308
00:20:31,936 --> 00:20:33,763
Okay, hang on. I just...
309
00:20:42,154 --> 00:20:44,728
- Oh, what did you do?
- I cut my thumb.
310
00:20:44,907 --> 00:20:46,816
Let me look.
311
00:20:47,952 --> 00:20:50,656
- It's a wonder you didn't cut it off.
- Yeah.
312
00:20:50,829 --> 00:20:52,621
You're a very jittery person,
you know.
313
00:20:53,707 --> 00:20:54,786
Not usually.
314
00:20:55,167 --> 00:20:57,954
- Lot on your mind?
- I quit smoking cigars.
315
00:20:58,796 --> 00:21:02,046
Oh, I'm sorry.
You should have said something.
316
00:21:03,175 --> 00:21:06,295
Well, at the time, it seemed to be
the challenge I needed.
317
00:21:06,470 --> 00:21:09,139
Besides, I didn't figure you
to be all that sympathetic.
318
00:21:09,306 --> 00:21:12,307
- Is that the impression I give?
- You want an honest answer?
319
00:21:12,476 --> 00:21:14,883
- Sure.
- You bet.
320
00:21:17,272 --> 00:21:19,597
- Why not?
- Because it would be embarrassing.
321
00:21:19,775 --> 00:21:21,648
- That's why.
- My sister had eight bridesmaids.
322
00:21:21,818 --> 00:21:23,229
- All I'm asking for is four.
- Yeah.
323
00:21:23,403 --> 00:21:26,439
And they're all gonna be wearing these
dresses with the big pouffy shoulders.
324
00:21:26,615 --> 00:21:30,659
- You don't like those?
- They look like flotation devices.
325
00:21:32,203 --> 00:21:33,235
Hey.
326
00:21:34,706 --> 00:21:36,580
Hello, Margaret.
327
00:21:37,333 --> 00:21:39,741
You cannot do the test.
328
00:21:40,670 --> 00:21:42,544
Is that Johnny's decision,
Mrs. Blackhorse?
329
00:21:42,714 --> 00:21:44,457
It's against our faith.
330
00:21:44,632 --> 00:21:46,257
I'd like to talk to Johnny.
331
00:21:46,426 --> 00:21:48,383
Johnny's sick.
332
00:21:48,553 --> 00:21:50,047
Are you the scientist?
333
00:21:50,221 --> 00:21:52,048
Yes.
334
00:21:59,814 --> 00:22:01,557
It's an owl.
335
00:22:01,733 --> 00:22:06,276
Owls are bad luck, commander.
She means to keep you away.
336
00:22:23,963 --> 00:22:27,047
- Thank you.
- What a sweet baby.
337
00:22:28,050 --> 00:22:29,248
Thank you.
338
00:22:30,219 --> 00:22:31,761
It's to teach her sharing.
339
00:22:32,221 --> 00:22:37,761
Just rock salt and bits of food,
but rituals like this promote unity.
340
00:22:37,935 --> 00:22:41,553
In my house, if you reach for food,
you got a fork stuck in your hand.
341
00:23:19,517 --> 00:23:22,471
- Commander, piece of cake?
- No, thanks.
342
00:23:22,646 --> 00:23:25,979
I'll put it here if you change your mind.
You mind if I sit down?
343
00:23:28,651 --> 00:23:31,321
I'm gonna take a bus
back to the base in the morning.
344
00:23:31,488 --> 00:23:33,148
Without a blood sample
from Johnny,
345
00:23:33,323 --> 00:23:37,023
I can't make a conclusive ID
on the remains of his twin brother.
346
00:23:38,536 --> 00:23:42,486
Commander, what do you think
Johnny is suffering from?
347
00:23:42,665 --> 00:23:44,492
Well, asthma would be my guess.
348
00:23:44,667 --> 00:23:47,502
TB. He's had it his whole life.
349
00:23:47,670 --> 00:23:51,668
Lungs are shot.
He's probably coughing up blood.
350
00:23:53,176 --> 00:23:56,212
Great. We can rifle through
his garbage for used tissues.
351
00:23:58,931 --> 00:24:00,971
Just trying to find an angle,
commander.
352
00:24:01,517 --> 00:24:02,680
How important is this to you?
353
00:24:02,852 --> 00:24:05,853
Well, it's important to the Navy.
We're her representatives.
354
00:24:06,022 --> 00:24:07,350
But what's your opinion?
355
00:24:07,523 --> 00:24:09,729
Like you,
I believe in tangible evidence.
356
00:24:10,192 --> 00:24:14,107
It's all about evidence.
We believe it when we see it.
357
00:24:14,530 --> 00:24:16,653
Do you know what I've noticed?
358
00:24:16,824 --> 00:24:19,113
These people think differently.
359
00:24:19,743 --> 00:24:21,451
They rely more on faith.
360
00:24:21,620 --> 00:24:24,657
They trust in the universe
and its mysteries.
361
00:24:24,832 --> 00:24:27,038
They see it when they believe it.
362
00:24:27,626 --> 00:24:31,576
And you and I,
we rely on order and discipline.
363
00:24:34,133 --> 00:24:36,374
Well, I loosen up a little
when I go home.
364
00:24:36,552 --> 00:24:38,877
I do have a life outside the military.
365
00:24:39,054 --> 00:24:41,426
I bet your apartment is immaculate.
366
00:24:41,598 --> 00:24:44,433
Yeah, it might be.
367
00:24:44,601 --> 00:24:46,345
So is mine.
368
00:24:48,897 --> 00:24:51,388
So do you come from
a broken family?
369
00:24:51,900 --> 00:24:55,234
Well, I'm from a different home.
370
00:24:55,570 --> 00:24:58,690
Haven't seen my father
since I was a kid.
371
00:24:59,366 --> 00:25:01,239
Wish that were my story.
372
00:25:01,409 --> 00:25:04,743
My dad's in the eighth year of a
life sentence for murdering my mother.
373
00:25:06,414 --> 00:25:08,241
I have reasons
for being the way I am.
374
00:25:08,625 --> 00:25:10,783
You don't owe me any explanations,
commander.
375
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,953
I have not passed judgement on you.
376
00:25:13,713 --> 00:25:16,916
I have. It killed my marriage.
377
00:25:18,259 --> 00:25:19,635
Look at them.
378
00:25:20,678 --> 00:25:23,763
They don't have a lot,
but what they've got is good.
379
00:25:23,932 --> 00:25:27,431
Racial pride, self-esteem...
380
00:25:27,602 --> 00:25:29,096
...each other.
381
00:25:55,921 --> 00:25:57,795
Think we should have a band
or a DJ?
382
00:25:57,965 --> 00:25:59,080
I don't care.
383
00:25:59,258 --> 00:26:01,796
Because, you know, my college
roommate was an Elvis impersonator.
384
00:26:01,969 --> 00:26:04,923
Whatever. I just don't wanna fight
about it anymore, that's all.
385
00:26:05,097 --> 00:26:08,300
You know, actually, there's no rule
saying we have to have music at all.
386
00:26:08,475 --> 00:26:10,551
- Or a wedding.
- What?
387
00:26:10,728 --> 00:26:12,601
I didn't say a marriage.
I said a wedding.
388
00:26:12,771 --> 00:26:14,847
Well, what are you saying?
389
00:26:15,524 --> 00:26:18,276
How far is Las Vegas from here?
390
00:26:18,736 --> 00:26:20,645
Vegas?
391
00:26:31,790 --> 00:26:34,281
I've got a question for you, major.
392
00:26:35,085 --> 00:26:37,658
What do you think of the two-step?
393
00:26:39,089 --> 00:26:41,544
Too many steps.
394
00:26:44,886 --> 00:26:46,345
Sir?
395
00:26:47,097 --> 00:26:49,173
Since we really haven't been
needed for anything,
396
00:26:49,349 --> 00:26:52,552
Harriet and I were wondering if
we could get a day of leave tomorrow.
397
00:26:55,063 --> 00:26:58,064
- Permission granted.
- Thank you, sir.
398
00:27:01,945 --> 00:27:03,772
Hi, Johnny.
399
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,863
Come to my house.
You can use my blood.
400
00:27:08,034 --> 00:27:10,406
And my wife
has nothing to say about it.
401
00:27:10,578 --> 00:27:11,859
Are you sure, Johnny?
402
00:27:12,038 --> 00:27:14,873
Because if we're forcing you
to go against your beliefs...
403
00:27:15,375 --> 00:27:17,616
I don't wanna go to my grave
404
00:27:17,794 --> 00:27:20,830
without knowing
what happened to my brother.
405
00:27:21,005 --> 00:27:24,125
He is the other half of my soul.
406
00:27:24,300 --> 00:27:26,506
Then you must pray.
407
00:27:26,677 --> 00:27:31,304
We must all pray,
because it is wrong.
408
00:27:36,062 --> 00:27:38,138
Respect the dead!
Preserve the sacred!
409
00:27:38,314 --> 00:27:41,101
Respect the dead!
Preserve the sacred!
410
00:27:41,275 --> 00:27:42,734
Respect the dead!
411
00:27:43,569 --> 00:27:45,443
How many do you think
are out there?
412
00:27:45,613 --> 00:27:49,029
I don't know.
I wouldn't let it bother you, though.
413
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,777
It's all too spooky for me.
414
00:27:50,951 --> 00:27:52,362
Yeah.
415
00:27:52,536 --> 00:27:54,778
So how does this work, anyway?
416
00:27:54,955 --> 00:27:57,742
- In simple terms?
- Please.
417
00:27:57,917 --> 00:27:59,790
Well...
418
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:02,831
First you use one of these
to scoop out a sample.
419
00:28:04,214 --> 00:28:07,381
Then I form a supernatant of cells.
420
00:28:08,594 --> 00:28:10,882
I extract the DNA.
421
00:28:13,307 --> 00:28:15,465
Then I alter the temperature
422
00:28:15,642 --> 00:28:19,094
to separate the double helix
into single strands.
423
00:28:19,271 --> 00:28:21,940
An enzyme breaks it down.
424
00:28:22,774 --> 00:28:25,479
They're polarised through a process
called...
425
00:28:25,652 --> 00:28:28,439
...electrophoresis.
426
00:28:28,613 --> 00:28:33,026
The gene probes
locate their complements and...
427
00:28:33,201 --> 00:28:35,739
And I...
428
00:28:35,912 --> 00:28:38,747
I wish I wasn't
so attracted to you.
429
00:28:40,333 --> 00:28:41,958
Excuse me?
430
00:28:42,127 --> 00:28:43,621
It's influencing me.
431
00:28:43,795 --> 00:28:46,962
I'm less comfortable than you
with what we're doing here.
432
00:28:47,132 --> 00:28:50,964
Well, I'm sorry, commander. L...
433
00:28:51,136 --> 00:28:52,416
I didn't know.
434
00:28:52,595 --> 00:28:55,881
I mean, I had no idea how you felt
about me or this case.
435
00:28:56,057 --> 00:28:59,592
It's okay.
I can tell you don't feel the same way.
436
00:29:01,604 --> 00:29:05,816
I just need you to back away
so that I can think clearly.
437
00:29:06,609 --> 00:29:08,151
All right.
438
00:29:10,154 --> 00:29:11,317
You gonna be okay?
439
00:29:13,408 --> 00:29:17,619
I've done dozens of these procedures.
This is the first time it hasn't felt right.
440
00:29:17,787 --> 00:29:20,159
Well, you have
the donor's permission.
441
00:29:20,331 --> 00:29:23,700
- Yeah, but are his reasons good?
- Well, he thinks so.
442
00:29:23,876 --> 00:29:25,335
Do it for Johnny.
443
00:29:30,049 --> 00:29:31,792
Can I help in any way?
444
00:29:33,761 --> 00:29:35,041
Don't breathe on my neck.
445
00:30:48,459 --> 00:30:50,286
Jimmy.
446
00:30:52,338 --> 00:30:54,960
Oh, my God.
I can't believe I did that.
447
00:30:55,133 --> 00:30:56,757
Can you still use these?
448
00:30:56,926 --> 00:30:59,168
They're all contaminated now.
449
00:30:59,345 --> 00:31:01,717
That means we'll have to go back
and do it again.
450
00:31:03,766 --> 00:31:05,260
It wasn't on purpose.
451
00:31:06,435 --> 00:31:07,930
You have any cigars?
452
00:31:11,774 --> 00:31:13,316
I'll get the car.
453
00:31:32,002 --> 00:31:34,125
Let me see what's up.
454
00:32:05,035 --> 00:32:07,324
Sammy, where's Johnny?
455
00:32:29,851 --> 00:32:31,511
I must admit I feel relief.
456
00:32:31,686 --> 00:32:35,933
Not that I wanted him to die,
but this just seems right somehow.
457
00:32:36,107 --> 00:32:39,772
We were messing with something
much bigger than the Navy or politics.
458
00:32:39,944 --> 00:32:42,269
And don't even think
about exhumation.
459
00:32:42,447 --> 00:32:43,775
I won't get involved with that.
460
00:32:43,948 --> 00:32:46,190
Neither will we, commander.
461
00:32:48,036 --> 00:32:51,867
We just got back, sir.
Sammy filled us in.
462
00:32:52,039 --> 00:32:53,202
What happened to you two?
463
00:32:55,001 --> 00:32:57,705
Well, sir, we've been arguing
so much about the wedding
464
00:32:57,879 --> 00:33:00,286
that we felt that it was gonna ruin
our relationship.
465
00:33:00,464 --> 00:33:03,169
So we just went
to Las Vegas to elope.
466
00:33:03,718 --> 00:33:05,710
- You're married?
- No, major.
467
00:33:06,304 --> 00:33:09,719
As we were walking up to the altar
at the Blue Hawaii Chapel,
468
00:33:09,890 --> 00:33:12,049
the eternal flame exploded.
469
00:33:12,226 --> 00:33:14,053
It was a gas leak.
470
00:33:14,228 --> 00:33:16,351
So we're just gonna go ahead
with the regular wedding.
471
00:33:16,522 --> 00:33:22,062
Yeah, everything's gonna be fine.
And I got Mr. Tom Jones' autograph.
472
00:33:24,446 --> 00:33:26,439
- Did you do the test?
- No, Margaret.
473
00:33:26,615 --> 00:33:29,071
We had an accident
with the blood samples.
474
00:33:29,702 --> 00:33:31,112
We'll suggest that the Marine Corps
475
00:33:31,286 --> 00:33:33,362
inter the remains
in a national cemetery.
476
00:33:35,624 --> 00:33:39,456
We buried Johnny
with the watch he gave Jimmy.
477
00:33:39,628 --> 00:33:41,870
He had put it in a cigar box.
478
00:33:43,090 --> 00:33:47,716
Inside was a package of old letters.
479
00:33:48,262 --> 00:33:50,883
I think you'll want to look at them.
480
00:33:53,266 --> 00:33:54,346
Listen to this:
481
00:33:54,518 --> 00:33:56,344
"It's funny, Johnny.
She keeps calling me Yank,
482
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,808
not Injun or Red Face
or Crazy Horse.
483
00:33:58,980 --> 00:34:00,309
I like that about Frances.
484
00:34:00,482 --> 00:34:02,558
She just thinks of me
as an American.
485
00:34:02,734 --> 00:34:05,059
She's a good woman,
too good for me.
486
00:34:05,237 --> 00:34:07,276
Till next time, Jimmy."
487
00:34:07,447 --> 00:34:09,772
Sounds like Jimmy Blackhorse
didn't like himself very much.
488
00:34:09,950 --> 00:34:11,230
He was drinking.
489
00:34:11,409 --> 00:34:13,485
- He wrote that?
- No, he didn't have to.
490
00:34:13,662 --> 00:34:15,120
Sir, according to this letter,
491
00:34:15,288 --> 00:34:18,704
they were seeing each other
for about two and a half months.
492
00:34:19,709 --> 00:34:21,749
"Frances Roland."
493
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,628
Anyone find out how old she was?
494
00:34:23,796 --> 00:34:26,632
She was 20 in 1943.
495
00:34:26,799 --> 00:34:30,003
That would make her, what, 74?
She could still be alive.
496
00:34:30,178 --> 00:34:32,135
You're not thinking about
looking for this woman?
497
00:34:32,305 --> 00:34:33,799
What's in your letter, commander?
498
00:34:35,058 --> 00:34:36,766
I think we should stop here.
499
00:34:37,310 --> 00:34:38,508
You didn't answer my question.
500
00:34:39,103 --> 00:34:42,306
What difference does it make whether
a ship is named after this man or not?
501
00:34:42,482 --> 00:34:45,186
It's not our place to make
those judgements. This is our job.
502
00:34:45,359 --> 00:34:48,645
Is it your job to contradict
thousands of years of tribal wisdom?
503
00:34:48,821 --> 00:34:52,439
Excuse me, commander, but isn't your
field of expertise forensic pathology?
504
00:34:52,617 --> 00:34:56,068
You trying to tell us that science is less
important to the species than tradition?
505
00:34:56,245 --> 00:34:57,276
Maybe.
506
00:34:57,455 --> 00:34:59,328
These people are more comfortable
in their skin
507
00:34:59,498 --> 00:35:01,455
than any of us standing here,
including me.
508
00:35:01,625 --> 00:35:03,120
Do you have an address
in that letter?
509
00:35:05,629 --> 00:35:07,503
Commander,
finding Frances Roland
510
00:35:07,673 --> 00:35:09,500
could help us answer
all these questions
511
00:35:09,675 --> 00:35:11,833
without us having
to defile the sacred.
512
00:35:12,678 --> 00:35:14,053
What if we do find her
513
00:35:14,221 --> 00:35:16,629
and it turns out that Margaret
was wrong about the bones?
514
00:35:16,807 --> 00:35:18,349
She'll lose her credibility.
515
00:35:18,517 --> 00:35:20,842
You're still tampering
with the faith of these people.
516
00:35:21,019 --> 00:35:23,012
You see that woman over there?
517
00:35:24,022 --> 00:35:26,727
She prescribed a chant
to help heal Johnny.
518
00:35:27,234 --> 00:35:30,021
You don't see anybody
blaming her for his death, do you?
519
00:35:31,029 --> 00:35:33,069
Now, I don't know much
about the Navajo people,
520
00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:34,948
but I can't believe
they consider themselves
521
00:35:35,117 --> 00:35:36,860
any less fallible than the rest of us.
522
00:36:18,368 --> 00:36:19,910
Ma'am?
523
00:36:23,247 --> 00:36:24,955
Excuse me.
524
00:36:25,458 --> 00:36:27,581
Excuse me, ma'am,
are you Frances Roland?
525
00:36:27,752 --> 00:36:29,246
Used to be, mate.
526
00:36:31,255 --> 00:36:34,671
She hasn't spoken
for three and a half years.
527
00:36:34,842 --> 00:36:36,253
Encephalitis.
528
00:36:37,303 --> 00:36:39,011
Sir,
I'm Lieutenant Commander Rabb.
529
00:36:39,305 --> 00:36:42,923
My colleague and I are from the United
States Judge Advocate General Corps.
530
00:36:43,392 --> 00:36:46,310
Please excuse this intrusion.
We tried to reach you by phone, but...
531
00:36:46,479 --> 00:36:47,510
I don't have one.
532
00:36:47,688 --> 00:36:49,645
Same goes for TV, radio, the like.
533
00:36:49,815 --> 00:36:53,018
- Are you Frances Roland's caregiver?
- I'm her son.
534
00:36:53,194 --> 00:36:56,064
Do you know anything about
a man named Jimmy Blackhorse?
535
00:36:56,238 --> 00:36:58,610
I'd better. I'm Jimmy Blackhorse.
536
00:37:04,955 --> 00:37:06,864
The United States Navy
thanks the Navajo Nation
537
00:37:07,041 --> 00:37:09,614
for the privilege
to argue before its tribal court.
538
00:37:10,002 --> 00:37:11,377
Our intent is simple.
539
00:37:11,545 --> 00:37:13,917
We will provide evidence
that will identify the remains
540
00:37:14,089 --> 00:37:15,631
found in Wellington Bay,
New Zealand,
541
00:37:15,799 --> 00:37:19,927
as belonging
to Marine PFC Jimmy Blackhorse.
542
00:37:22,014 --> 00:37:23,294
The community of Blue Canyon
543
00:37:23,473 --> 00:37:27,138
believes this issue has more
to do with integrity than identity.
544
00:37:27,311 --> 00:37:29,137
We ask a simple question:
545
00:37:29,312 --> 00:37:32,978
Does the Navy honestly feel that
a Navajo name on the hull of a ship
546
00:37:33,150 --> 00:37:36,981
means more to The People
than the wisdom of their forefathers?
547
00:37:37,529 --> 00:37:40,150
A question
I'm eager to hear answered.
548
00:37:40,323 --> 00:37:41,521
Thank you.
549
00:37:48,248 --> 00:37:49,991
This is a photograph
of Jimmy Blackhorse
550
00:37:50,166 --> 00:37:53,666
taken just prior
to his tour of duty in 1942.
551
00:37:53,837 --> 00:37:54,999
I ask the court to take note
552
00:37:55,171 --> 00:37:57,662
of the difference in appearance
between the two.
553
00:37:57,841 --> 00:38:00,414
PFC Blackhorse,
like his twin brother Johnny,
554
00:38:00,593 --> 00:38:04,971
had a wide face, dark eyes,
tawny complexion.
555
00:38:05,139 --> 00:38:06,384
The man who claims to be his son
556
00:38:06,557 --> 00:38:10,389
has blue eyes, a thin face,
pink complexion.
557
00:38:10,561 --> 00:38:12,887
He could have been named
after Jimmy Blackhorse,
558
00:38:13,064 --> 00:38:16,018
but conceived by someone else.
559
00:38:16,776 --> 00:38:18,852
Your Honour, the man who claims
to be Jimmy's son
560
00:38:19,028 --> 00:38:21,353
bears the physical features
of his mother.
561
00:38:21,531 --> 00:38:23,108
His father's genetic information
562
00:38:23,282 --> 00:38:25,358
could simply have been recessive
in this case.
563
00:38:26,494 --> 00:38:29,281
If physical similarity is the only basis
for Mr. Begay's thesis,
564
00:38:29,455 --> 00:38:33,832
then I would argue that he himself
is Jimmy Blackhorse's offspring.
565
00:38:37,505 --> 00:38:39,213
Yeah, right.
566
00:38:40,091 --> 00:38:42,498
And how were you able
to make that conclusion?
567
00:38:42,676 --> 00:38:46,970
The spirit of this being
was darkened like ash.
568
00:38:47,139 --> 00:38:50,508
Jimmy Blackhorse's
was the colour of cornmeal.
569
00:38:50,684 --> 00:38:51,965
Thank you.
570
00:38:52,144 --> 00:38:56,058
Margaret Blackhorse is a renowned
practitioner of the Navajo healing art,
571
00:38:56,231 --> 00:39:00,229
whose published journals are presently
archived in the Library of Congress.
572
00:39:00,402 --> 00:39:04,103
This is more than just the testimony
of a medicine woman.
573
00:39:04,281 --> 00:39:08,231
It's the testimony
of an esteemed professional.
574
00:39:13,624 --> 00:39:15,118
Margaret.
575
00:39:17,711 --> 00:39:20,914
Can you show us the difference
between these two souls?
576
00:39:21,882 --> 00:39:24,373
Can you show me your God?
577
00:39:28,930 --> 00:39:30,424
No further questions, Your Honour.
578
00:39:32,934 --> 00:39:35,604
And given that explanation,
what have you determined?
579
00:39:35,770 --> 00:39:38,522
That there is conclusive homology
in the DNA samples.
580
00:39:38,690 --> 00:39:40,647
They are, without question,
father and son.
581
00:39:40,817 --> 00:39:42,691
Thank you, commander.
582
00:39:45,029 --> 00:39:49,241
Commander, have you expressed
any doubt at any time
583
00:39:49,409 --> 00:39:51,864
in what you were sent here to do?
584
00:39:52,328 --> 00:39:53,407
Yes.
585
00:39:53,580 --> 00:39:55,821
Can you tell us
what fuelled your doubt?
586
00:39:55,999 --> 00:39:58,324
I've developed a respect
for the metaphysical world.
587
00:39:59,585 --> 00:40:01,080
Thank you.
588
00:40:02,797 --> 00:40:04,790
And so, might I add,
did Albert Einstein.
589
00:40:06,926 --> 00:40:10,544
We'll take a recess
and return at 3:15.
590
00:40:13,849 --> 00:40:16,091
These are my people, aren't they.
591
00:40:16,269 --> 00:40:18,261
If we win, you could even live here.
592
00:40:18,437 --> 00:40:20,975
- Mom would like that.
- How can you tell, sir?
593
00:40:21,148 --> 00:40:24,813
It's in her eyes.
She's looking for completion.
594
00:40:24,985 --> 00:40:28,853
You see, naming me after my father
was her way of forgiving him.
595
00:40:29,031 --> 00:40:31,700
I don't think
she ever let go of her pain.
596
00:40:32,660 --> 00:40:35,032
Why would she need to forgive him?
597
00:40:35,663 --> 00:40:37,240
Did I say that?
598
00:40:37,665 --> 00:40:41,614
It's funny. I was promising myself,
for her sake, I wouldn't mention it.
599
00:40:44,004 --> 00:40:47,587
She can hear, you know.
Can't react...
600
00:40:47,758 --> 00:40:49,252
...but she can hear.
601
00:40:49,426 --> 00:40:50,837
What's on your mind, Jimmy?
602
00:40:54,348 --> 00:40:56,554
I haven't told you everything.
603
00:40:57,184 --> 00:40:59,639
Jimmy, according to
your mother's account of her relation...
604
00:40:59,811 --> 00:41:01,056
Objection. Hearsay.
605
00:41:01,229 --> 00:41:03,103
Your Honour,
aren't tribal legends hearsay?
606
00:41:03,273 --> 00:41:05,230
I don't see anybody
doubting their veracity.
607
00:41:06,234 --> 00:41:09,188
- Continue.
- Thank you.
608
00:41:09,362 --> 00:41:10,905
Jimmy.
609
00:41:11,073 --> 00:41:13,195
Will you share with the court
what your mother told you
610
00:41:13,366 --> 00:41:17,031
about her relationship
with PFC Jimmy Blackhorse?
611
00:41:17,704 --> 00:41:21,203
The campaign on Guadalcanal
had been hard on him.
612
00:41:21,374 --> 00:41:25,039
He was shell-shocked.
He'd lost most of his hearing.
613
00:41:25,211 --> 00:41:29,957
He couldn't sleep
and this made him glum and weary.
614
00:41:30,133 --> 00:41:35,044
But Mom saw a happy spirit
buried within him.
615
00:41:35,221 --> 00:41:38,092
She loved him to her very being.
616
00:41:39,851 --> 00:41:42,424
She wouldn't bed him
unless he married her first.
617
00:41:43,855 --> 00:41:45,931
He resisted this
and he kept on telling her
618
00:41:46,107 --> 00:41:49,024
that she could do better than him.
619
00:41:49,944 --> 00:41:52,696
What happened the night
he disappeared, Jimmy?
620
00:41:54,323 --> 00:41:55,818
He was pickled on ale.
621
00:41:55,992 --> 00:42:00,784
Mom was trying to sober him up
and he went for her.
622
00:42:02,290 --> 00:42:07,284
She said it was combination
of the alcohol on his brain
623
00:42:07,461 --> 00:42:09,004
and the pain in his heart.
624
00:42:09,171 --> 00:42:10,998
He left soon after.
625
00:42:11,173 --> 00:42:16,416
That ravine was nearby, and, well,
he was still drunk and it was dark.
626
00:42:16,595 --> 00:42:18,718
Are you the product of that night,
Jimmy?
627
00:42:20,224 --> 00:42:21,718
Yeah.
628
00:42:33,862 --> 00:42:36,532
I feel Jimmy in him.
629
00:42:37,241 --> 00:42:39,613
The Jimmy I remember.
630
00:42:48,043 --> 00:42:50,664
Your Honour,
I think you have your evidence,
631
00:42:50,837 --> 00:42:53,625
both spiritual and scientific.
632
00:42:54,174 --> 00:42:58,800
And, as it turns out, both
were necessary in revealing the truth.
633
00:42:59,221 --> 00:43:03,468
But not only do the remains
belong to PFC Jimmy Blackhorse,
634
00:43:03,642 --> 00:43:06,180
but they reflect
the spirit of a different man.
635
00:43:06,353 --> 00:43:11,311
A man whose bright essence was
turned to ashes by the violence of war.
636
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,274
And only...
637
00:43:14,861 --> 00:43:17,696
Only in his son
does his true spirit live.
638
00:43:17,864 --> 00:43:19,144
The community of Blue Canyon
639
00:43:19,324 --> 00:43:24,033
deeply resents these portrayals
of code talkers as rapists and drunks.
640
00:43:24,204 --> 00:43:26,777
Haven't we heard enough
of these tired and offensive clich�s?
641
00:43:26,956 --> 00:43:31,702
Your Honour, I don't think Jimmy
Blackhorse was a drunk or a rapist.
642
00:43:31,878 --> 00:43:33,835
I think he was a human being
in crisis.
643
00:43:36,257 --> 00:43:39,958
Sir, in light of these findings...
644
00:43:40,511 --> 00:43:42,005
...I propose a change.
645
00:43:43,431 --> 00:43:45,258
With your blessing,
646
00:43:45,433 --> 00:43:49,347
I will suggest that the Navy
name its ship after Arsenio Price,
647
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,513
Jimmy's code-talking partner.
648
00:43:51,689 --> 00:43:56,066
Mr. Price, a bronze-star recipient,
died three years ago.
649
00:43:56,235 --> 00:43:58,358
Sir, we think that his proud spirit
650
00:43:58,529 --> 00:44:02,527
would bless the officers and crew
of the Navy's newest vessel,
651
00:44:03,159 --> 00:44:07,488
while the spirit of Jimmy Blackhorse
be allowed to finally find peace
652
00:44:07,663 --> 00:44:10,236
in a resting place
of his family's choosing.
653
00:44:13,627 --> 00:44:15,999
How does
opposing counsel respond?
654
00:44:29,685 --> 00:44:32,258
The community of Blue Canyon
accepts this offer.
655
00:44:33,730 --> 00:44:37,230
Mr. Blackhorse,
do we have your approval?
656
00:44:39,027 --> 00:44:40,735
I'll build a casket, sir.
657
00:44:42,406 --> 00:44:44,813
We welcome you
to the Navajo Nation.
658
00:44:44,991 --> 00:44:46,818
You are our brother.
659
00:44:46,993 --> 00:44:48,737
And we are adjourned.
660
00:44:53,583 --> 00:44:55,042
- Cool words, sir.
- Thanks, Bud.
661
00:44:58,046 --> 00:44:59,920
Welcome home.
662
00:45:00,090 --> 00:45:02,248
- Welcome home.
- Welcome home with us.
663
00:45:02,425 --> 00:45:03,801
You did the right thing.
664
00:45:03,968 --> 00:45:06,044
As long as I have your approval,
commander.
665
00:45:06,679 --> 00:45:08,589
You have my congratulations.
666
00:45:14,938 --> 00:45:16,266
Harm, don't.
667
00:45:20,944 --> 00:45:22,603
Chocolate.
