Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,867 --> 00:00:03,597
Little hand's on the six,
big hand's on the 12.
2
00:00:03,670 --> 00:00:06,434
Good morning, Cicely. Chris in
the Morning heralding the dawn...
3
00:00:06,506 --> 00:00:09,236
on KBHR, 570
on your AM dial.
4
00:00:09,342 --> 00:00:11,936
The voice of the Borough
of Arrowhead County.
5
00:00:12,145 --> 00:00:14,636
Que pasa hoy?
Let's take a look.
6
00:00:15,081 --> 00:00:18,073
Tom Barker shot a seven-foot bull
moose near Lake Loon yesterday.
7
00:00:18,151 --> 00:00:20,711
He's offering tenderloins
to anybody with a backhoe...
8
00:00:20,787 --> 00:00:23,415
who can haul it to Holling's
freezer before it spoils.
9
00:00:23,490 --> 00:00:26,755
Tempus fugit. Got a little
lost and found happening.
10
00:00:26,826 --> 00:00:29,386
Who's ever missing a '66
Studebaker transmission...
11
00:00:29,462 --> 00:00:31,862
Mitch Coleman found one by
the road by his smoke house.
12
00:00:32,032 --> 00:00:35,433
Why don't you just give Mitch a call
or drop by and claim it yourself?
13
00:00:35,502 --> 00:00:39,563
A reminder, Cicely's book club
meets tonight 7:30 at the church.
14
00:00:39,639 --> 00:00:44,201
Maggie O'Connell is gonna be reading
House of Mirth by Edith Wharton. BYOB.
15
00:00:45,812 --> 00:00:47,541
What can I do for you,
Officer Semanski?
16
00:00:47,614 --> 00:00:50,481
Christopher Danforth Stevens?
Yep. In the flesh.
17
00:00:50,550 --> 00:00:52,848
Are you aware there's an outstanding
warrant for your arrest...
18
00:00:52,919 --> 00:00:54,284
in the state
of West Virginia?
19
00:00:54,354 --> 00:00:57,653
Well, that would surprise me,
considering the only outstanding thing...
20
00:00:57,724 --> 00:00:59,715
I was ever cited for in West
Virginia was the ability...
21
00:00:59,793 --> 00:01:02,284
to open three beer bottles at
the same time with my teeth.
22
00:01:02,362 --> 00:01:03,624
Stand up, please.
23
00:01:03,696 --> 00:01:05,721
Right now?
Up.
24
00:01:06,166 --> 00:01:07,861
Turn around.
25
00:01:07,934 --> 00:01:09,765
Place your hands
behind your back.
26
00:01:09,836 --> 00:01:12,737
Under the provisions of the
Uniform Criminal Extradition Act...
27
00:01:12,806 --> 00:01:17,368
I'm placing you under arrest
for violating section 62-12-19...
28
00:01:17,444 --> 00:01:18,934
of the West Virginia Code.
29
00:01:19,012 --> 00:01:20,502
You have the right
to remain silent.
30
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:23,140
You have the right to have an
attorney present during questioning.
31
00:01:23,216 --> 00:01:25,946
If you cannot afford an attorney,
the court will appoint one for you.
32
00:01:26,019 --> 00:01:28,487
Anything you say can
and will be used against you.
33
00:02:17,930 --> 00:02:19,420
I don't get it, Holling.
34
00:02:19,490 --> 00:02:20,430
Get what?
35
00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:23,830
Chris has been a marked man
since the day I got here.
36
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:25,300
Now, why bust him today?
37
00:02:25,370 --> 00:02:28,300
Why not last week, or
last year for that matter?
38
00:02:28,370 --> 00:02:32,000
Well, the judge doesn't get up here
more than once every 15 months or so.
39
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:35,700
The police follow the circuit,
like tending a trap line.
40
00:02:36,140 --> 00:02:39,810
You know, they don't set the snares until
a day or two before the judge arrives.
41
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,080
Less holding costs
that way.
42
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,350
Well, what are
we gonna do about it?
43
00:02:45,650 --> 00:02:46,710
About what?
44
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:48,820
About Chris.
45
00:02:48,890 --> 00:02:50,520
What do you suggest?
46
00:02:50,590 --> 00:02:51,750
I don't know. I mean...
47
00:02:51,830 --> 00:02:54,520
we can't just let him be
shipped off to West Virginia.
48
00:02:55,830 --> 00:02:56,890
Why not?
49
00:02:56,970 --> 00:03:00,090
Because he's Chris.
50
00:03:00,170 --> 00:03:04,970
Holling, I mean, besides, didn't you
see Deliverance? "Squeal like a pig. "
51
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,840
I mean, if that's what
they do on camping trips...
52
00:03:06,910 --> 00:03:09,740
think what life's gonna be
like for Chris in the big house.
53
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,710
Hey, Chris.
54
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:25,590
Bernard!
55
00:03:26,090 --> 00:03:28,060
Rod, reel, net, creel.
56
00:03:28,130 --> 00:03:30,160
I can't make it, bro.
57
00:03:30,630 --> 00:03:31,930
No? Why not?
58
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,160
I'm under arrest.
59
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,290
Arrest?
60
00:03:34,370 --> 00:03:36,890
Parole violation
in West Virginia.
61
00:03:37,470 --> 00:03:39,740
Extradition hearing's
tomorrow.
62
00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:40,970
Tomorrow?
Yeah.
63
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,100
You have a lawyer?
64
00:03:42,180 --> 00:03:44,340
No, I don't need one.
65
00:03:44,410 --> 00:03:46,070
Why not?
Guilty.
66
00:03:46,150 --> 00:03:47,710
Guilty of what?
67
00:03:48,780 --> 00:03:50,150
That's an interesting
question.
68
00:03:50,220 --> 00:03:52,620
I'm referring
to the statutory angle.
69
00:03:52,690 --> 00:03:56,060
Oh. I skipped town without
telling my parole officer.
70
00:03:56,220 --> 00:03:57,950
Chris, you need
a lawyer.
71
00:03:58,730 --> 00:04:00,890
What, did you get
a new rod?
72
00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:03,860
Winston graphite.
Form fits the reel.
73
00:04:04,830 --> 00:04:05,930
Nice.
74
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,600
I'm putting you on retainer
to represent Stevens, Mike.
75
00:04:11,670 --> 00:04:13,370
You've got
the wrong man, Maurice.
76
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,640
Don't sell yourself
short, Monroe.
77
00:04:15,710 --> 00:04:17,680
I was
a corporate attorney.
78
00:04:17,750 --> 00:04:19,480
You were a litigator,
weren't you?
79
00:04:19,550 --> 00:04:23,880
Why not fly in some high-priced
criminal talent from the lower 48?
80
00:04:24,050 --> 00:04:25,950
Uh-uh. Don't have time.
81
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,150
Judge'll be here pronto.
82
00:04:28,220 --> 00:04:29,690
Get a postponement.
83
00:04:30,190 --> 00:04:33,460
Mike, this is Alaska.
84
00:04:34,030 --> 00:04:37,230
The circus only comes to
town once every year or two.
85
00:04:38,870 --> 00:04:40,360
You can do it.
86
00:04:40,570 --> 00:04:43,940
Where'd you graduate from
law school? Yale? Harvard?
87
00:04:44,010 --> 00:04:45,630
University of lllinois.
88
00:04:45,770 --> 00:04:46,900
Oh.
89
00:04:47,610 --> 00:04:50,010
I don't know the first thing
about criminal procedure.
90
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,240
I mean, extradition-
I need Stevens on the air.
91
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,510
You need him.
The town needs him.
92
00:04:55,580 --> 00:04:59,020
We can't let Chris in the Morning
go down the tubes without a fight.
93
00:04:59,090 --> 00:05:01,560
Think about the loss
in on-air revenue.
94
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,550
What kind of cologne
are you wearing, Maurice?
95
00:05:05,630 --> 00:05:09,090
Oh, come on, don't give me
that allergy crap.
96
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,600
You owe me.
97
00:05:10,770 --> 00:05:12,390
What about that space suit?
98
00:05:12,470 --> 00:05:15,100
Where do you think you'd be in
this town without my generosity?
99
00:05:15,170 --> 00:05:16,970
Yes, and I
appreciate it, Maurice.
100
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,910
I just don't think I'd do a
very good job on Chris' behalf.
101
00:05:19,980 --> 00:05:22,410
You were not
my first choice, either.
102
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,210
But we're stuck
with each other, so...
103
00:05:25,750 --> 00:05:28,150
Look, let's
cut to the chase here.
104
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,650
Maggie says that you need a new
air filtration unit in this place.
105
00:05:33,290 --> 00:05:34,550
How much?
106
00:05:36,420 --> 00:05:38,650
As far as I can tell,
an extradition hearing...
107
00:05:38,730 --> 00:05:40,190
is pretty cut and dried.
108
00:05:40,260 --> 00:05:44,320
All the judge has to do is determine
that the person standing before him...
109
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,930
is the person named in the
warrant, and it's good night, Irene.
110
00:05:49,370 --> 00:05:51,500
I don't really see
any room to maneuver.
111
00:05:51,570 --> 00:05:53,870
Hey, Mike, what are you,
like, a 44 long?
112
00:05:53,940 --> 00:05:55,100
Forty-two.
113
00:05:55,540 --> 00:05:56,840
Want this vest?
114
00:05:57,250 --> 00:05:58,680
100% cotton?
115
00:05:58,750 --> 00:06:00,480
Levi's finest.
116
00:06:00,550 --> 00:06:03,280
This baby's flapped in the
breeze of 1,000 highways...
117
00:06:03,350 --> 00:06:06,120
and known the clutches
of some pretty nasty ladies.
118
00:06:06,190 --> 00:06:09,120
Chris, did you hear
what I just said?
119
00:06:09,660 --> 00:06:12,150
Yeah, Mike. I need a lawyer.
Right.
120
00:06:12,390 --> 00:06:13,880
But I don't have
a prayer, right?
121
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,790
Right. Basically.
122
00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:19,970
What I don't understand is why
the State of West Virginia...
123
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,230
is going to so much trouble. I mean,
what were you in for, originally?
124
00:06:23,310 --> 00:06:24,740
Grand theft auto.
125
00:06:24,810 --> 00:06:27,400
Joey King and I, we
ripped off a '71 Firebird.
126
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,070
Holleys, headers, Hurst.
A real rocket.
127
00:06:30,150 --> 00:06:32,480
I wrapped around a telephone
pole up on 13th Street.
128
00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:34,950
I got 2-to-5.
I did 18 months.
129
00:06:35,820 --> 00:06:38,620
And the only illegal act
you've committed since then...
130
00:06:38,690 --> 00:06:41,920
is skipping town without
notifying your parole officer.
131
00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:43,420
As far as I know.
132
00:06:44,530 --> 00:06:45,720
What's that, the warrant?
133
00:06:45,790 --> 00:06:47,390
Yeah.
Let me see.
134
00:06:49,930 --> 00:06:54,330
"State of West Virginia, Wheeling
City building, section 62-12."
135
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,240
Aha!
"Aha," what?
136
00:06:57,370 --> 00:06:59,140
Here's your answer,
right here. Teddy Miller.
137
00:06:59,570 --> 00:07:02,170
You know the Commissioner
of Corrections?
138
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,310
Yeah, Millers have been jailing
Stevens since before the Civil War.
139
00:07:06,380 --> 00:07:07,370
Oh.
140
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,470
See, Mike, my family was like
the James Gang of West Virginia...
141
00:07:10,590 --> 00:07:12,750
and the Millers were
like the Earps.
142
00:07:12,820 --> 00:07:14,950
My granddaddy once shot
a Miller in the neck.
143
00:07:15,020 --> 00:07:16,080
Oh, he didn't kill him.
144
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,180
He just walked around
the rest of his life...
145
00:07:18,260 --> 00:07:20,090
like he was looking
at a painting in the Louvre.
146
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,920
You know, like this.
147
00:07:22,630 --> 00:07:24,900
It's been us against them
ever since.
148
00:07:24,970 --> 00:07:28,460
I used to beat up Teddy Miller
in grade school. That was fun.
149
00:07:30,210 --> 00:07:32,110
This doesn't bode well.
150
00:07:32,340 --> 00:07:35,830
Well, it's karma, you
know, Mike? The wheel?
151
00:07:36,650 --> 00:07:38,880
What goes around
comes around.
152
00:07:40,980 --> 00:07:43,040
Hey, look at that ptarmigan. Where?
153
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,880
Over there,
by that old log.
154
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,490
Chris is dead meat.
155
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,550
What?
156
00:07:50,630 --> 00:07:52,490
Look.
What?
157
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,500
Over there, that lady?
That's the judge.
158
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,590
What, that? That woman?
159
00:07:56,670 --> 00:07:57,650
Uh-huh.
160
00:07:57,730 --> 00:08:00,460
Too bad.
Yeah, I'll say.
161
00:08:00,770 --> 00:08:02,070
What?
162
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,830
Dr. Fleischman,
she's a woman.
163
00:08:04,910 --> 00:08:07,000
So what?
Luck of the draw.
164
00:08:07,380 --> 00:08:08,470
Yeah.
165
00:08:08,540 --> 00:08:10,170
Listen to you people.
166
00:08:10,250 --> 00:08:13,270
I can't believe
the negative image you have...
167
00:08:13,350 --> 00:08:17,510
based purely on an erroneous,
fatuous sexual stereotyping.
168
00:08:17,790 --> 00:08:20,690
Back in my competitive days,
Dr. Fleischman...
169
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,550
you could drop a baton...
170
00:08:22,620 --> 00:08:25,120
or mess up your statement
of personal goals...
171
00:08:25,190 --> 00:08:27,630
none of the men
would blink...
172
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:31,460
as long as you smiled a lot and
displayed a well-rounded personality.
173
00:08:31,530 --> 00:08:32,830
But the women.
174
00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:35,170
Try wearing a lip gloss
they'd never seen before...
175
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,070
or dare to...
Coming through.
176
00:08:37,140 --> 00:08:40,400
...squeeze your well-toned
buns into a size 4 swimsuit...
177
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,970
they couldn't wear
on a bet...
178
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,010
they'd mark you down all
over the place. It was brutal.
179
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,040
Well, Shelly, I hate to minimize
your experience, but I hardly think...
180
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,780
that a beauty contest and a
court of law are analogous.
181
00:08:52,850 --> 00:08:56,550
Well, maybe not. But
they're definitely the same.
182
00:08:58,730 --> 00:09:00,490
What was that
all about?
183
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:02,830
It's just not clear.
184
00:09:03,330 --> 00:09:07,030
Okay. Maggie, who's nicer,
men or women?
185
00:09:09,340 --> 00:09:11,240
Oh, I get it.
186
00:09:11,310 --> 00:09:12,530
What?
187
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,310
I'm supposed to say
women, right?
188
00:09:15,380 --> 00:09:18,870
And then with sarcasm dripping
from your lips like battery acid...
189
00:09:18,950 --> 00:09:22,040
you'd belittle me, and demean me,
and rip my opinion to shreds...
190
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,280
with the precision of those
razor-sharp German tools...
191
00:09:24,350 --> 00:09:26,290
you like to lance boils
with, right, Fleischman?
192
00:09:26,350 --> 00:09:27,450
No. Wrong.
193
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,350
Why should women
be nicer?
194
00:09:29,420 --> 00:09:31,220
Because men
are stronger?
195
00:09:31,290 --> 00:09:33,780
No, no, no, no. Those
days are behind us.
196
00:09:33,860 --> 00:09:36,130
We are no longer the
subservient class, Fleischman.
197
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,760
You can't push us around with
impunity the way you used to.
198
00:09:38,830 --> 00:09:42,100
We have power, we have laws,
and we intend to use them.
199
00:09:42,170 --> 00:09:45,470
So don't expect the batting eyelash
routine around here anymore, Fleischman.
200
00:09:45,540 --> 00:09:47,910
From now on, you better be nicer to us.
201
00:09:52,380 --> 00:09:54,750
Chris is in big trouble.
202
00:09:55,220 --> 00:09:56,380
Yeah.
203
00:09:59,950 --> 00:10:02,290
All right, bailiff, I think
we're ready to proceed.
204
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,380
Would you please call
the next case.
205
00:10:04,460 --> 00:10:06,620
Next case,
Christopher Stevens.
206
00:10:06,690 --> 00:10:08,750
Right here, Your Honor.
207
00:10:09,830 --> 00:10:13,030
I understand you have
representation, Mr. Stevens.
208
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:14,390
Counselor?
209
00:10:14,940 --> 00:10:17,530
Michael Monroe,
for the defense, Your Honor.
210
00:10:18,310 --> 00:10:20,770
This is an extradition
matter, Your Honor.
211
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,010
Excuse me. The State of West
Virginia has requested Christopher-
212
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,520
I can read.
Thank you, Counselor.
213
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,680
You plan to challenge
this warrant, Mr. Monroe?
214
00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:32,740
I do, Your Honor.
215
00:10:32,820 --> 00:10:34,080
On what grounds?
216
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,140
Identity.
217
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:36,310
Identity?
218
00:10:36,390 --> 00:10:37,520
Yes, Your Honor.
219
00:10:37,590 --> 00:10:38,720
Whose identity?
220
00:10:38,790 --> 00:10:40,260
His.
221
00:10:40,330 --> 00:10:43,960
The man to my immediate left.
The alleged Chris Stevens.
222
00:10:45,430 --> 00:10:47,960
Ladies and gentlemen.
Quiet.
223
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:51,100
Thank you.
224
00:10:52,570 --> 00:10:54,910
Mr. Monroe, is this
some kind of a joke?
225
00:10:54,980 --> 00:10:56,970
Most assuredly not,
Your Honor.
226
00:10:57,050 --> 00:10:59,780
I submit that
this Chris Stevens...
227
00:10:59,850 --> 00:11:03,010
standing before you is not
the same Chris Stevens...
228
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,880
named in the warrant.
229
00:11:06,450 --> 00:11:11,080
Ladies and gentlemen, quiet!
I will have order.
230
00:11:11,660 --> 00:11:14,150
One more outburst
and I will clear the court.
231
00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:15,720
Mr. Sizemore?
232
00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:19,330
There should be a photograph in
the extradition package, Your Honor.
233
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,170
Actually, Judge, my defense,
it isn't based on a physical-
234
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,140
Just a moment.
Just a moment.
235
00:11:27,180 --> 00:11:28,940
This is terrible.
I can't use this.
236
00:11:29,010 --> 00:11:31,000
Where are
the fingerprints?
237
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,310
There weren't any.
238
00:11:32,380 --> 00:11:33,780
There weren't any?
239
00:11:34,180 --> 00:11:36,670
Obviously an oversight
on behalf of West Virginia.
240
00:11:36,750 --> 00:11:38,010
I didn't anticipate this,
Your-
241
00:11:38,090 --> 00:11:39,420
Mr. Sizemore,
get the prints.
242
00:11:39,490 --> 00:11:41,920
I am not about to
verify identification...
243
00:11:41,990 --> 00:11:45,080
on the basis of some
lousy, faxed photograph.
244
00:11:45,290 --> 00:11:46,350
Yes, Your Honor.
245
00:11:47,330 --> 00:11:49,160
You were saying,
Mr. Monroe?
246
00:11:49,330 --> 00:11:53,270
My challenge is based on a broader
interpretation of identity...
247
00:11:53,330 --> 00:11:55,300
than physical evidence,
Your Honor.
248
00:11:55,370 --> 00:11:58,860
Now, I hope to demonstrate,
with the court's permission...
249
00:11:58,940 --> 00:12:03,240
that my client has undergone
such a substantive change...
250
00:12:03,310 --> 00:12:06,540
in the very nature of his
character as to constitute...
251
00:12:06,610 --> 00:12:08,980
a separate
and unique identity...
252
00:12:09,050 --> 00:12:11,750
from the individual
named in the warrant.
253
00:12:11,820 --> 00:12:14,050
Simply stated...
254
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,020
this man is not
the same individual...
255
00:12:18,090 --> 00:12:21,190
who skipped parole six
years ago in West Virginia!
256
00:12:21,260 --> 00:12:22,850
Objection! Your Honor-
257
00:12:22,930 --> 00:12:25,560
That's it. I will not
have my orders ignored.
258
00:12:25,630 --> 00:12:27,330
Bailiff, clear the court.
259
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,630
All right, people, let's go.
Let's go. Come on.
260
00:12:30,710 --> 00:12:32,640
Counsel?
Move it.
261
00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:34,540
Counsel. Approach.
262
00:12:34,610 --> 00:12:36,540
Move it out.
263
00:12:37,210 --> 00:12:38,300
All right.
264
00:12:38,650 --> 00:12:42,710
Mr. Monroe, this is an extradition
hearing, not the Supreme Court.
265
00:12:42,780 --> 00:12:44,180
I realize that,
Your Honor.
266
00:12:44,250 --> 00:12:48,480
I am willing to postpone judgment
until the fingerprints arrive, but I-
267
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:50,550
But at least hear
my argument, Your Honor.
268
00:12:50,630 --> 00:12:53,420
I mean, a young man's
freedom is at stake.
269
00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:57,460
Now, if I haven't convinced you
by the time the prints arrive...
270
00:12:58,030 --> 00:13:00,060
I'll abide
by your judgment.
271
00:13:00,130 --> 00:13:03,830
Mr. Monroe, you will abide
by my judgment in any case.
272
00:13:04,340 --> 00:13:05,860
Yes. Of course.
273
00:13:06,610 --> 00:13:08,510
I have nothing else
on my docket...
274
00:13:08,580 --> 00:13:12,740
and I am appalled at the
State's lack of preparation.
275
00:13:13,750 --> 00:13:18,380
All right, Mr. Monroe, I will hear
your argument after a one hour recess.
276
00:13:18,750 --> 00:13:20,880
I could use two,
Your Honor.
277
00:13:21,190 --> 00:13:23,320
We will resume
in one hour.
278
00:13:28,730 --> 00:13:30,530
About 4,000 years ago...
279
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,660
Hammurabi,
the King of Babylonia...
280
00:13:32,730 --> 00:13:35,400
ordered 3,600 lines
of cuneiform...
281
00:13:35,470 --> 00:13:38,440
carved on a diorite column
in the ancient city of Susa.
282
00:13:38,510 --> 00:13:41,570
Now, it's the first known
record of a legal code.
283
00:13:41,940 --> 00:13:45,780
Yet, notwithstanding
all the centuries of effort...
284
00:13:45,850 --> 00:13:48,180
the law continues
to evolve. Why?
285
00:13:48,250 --> 00:13:51,280
Well, if based on
fixed principle alone...
286
00:13:51,350 --> 00:13:52,820
one would expect the law...
287
00:13:52,890 --> 00:13:55,580
to remain reasonably constant.
But it doesn't.
288
00:13:55,890 --> 00:14:00,730
Conclusion, well, being the work
of man, the law is an expression...
289
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,700
of the socio-political
imperative of its time.
290
00:14:03,770 --> 00:14:05,930
And as we all know,
times change.
291
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,200
Thus, despite
Hammurabi's efforts...
292
00:14:08,270 --> 00:14:10,670
the law is not so much
carved in stone...
293
00:14:11,140 --> 00:14:13,130
as it is written in water...
294
00:14:13,210 --> 00:14:15,230
flowing in and out
with the tide.
295
00:14:17,850 --> 00:14:19,440
Hey, that was good.
296
00:14:19,650 --> 00:14:21,270
Oh, thanks, Maurice.
No, no, I mean it.
297
00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:23,040
You sounded
just like Stevens.
298
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,550
I am a Stevens.
299
00:14:24,620 --> 00:14:28,150
Well, keep up
the good work.
300
00:14:33,130 --> 00:14:34,090
Mike, I-
301
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,160
Sorry, I'm having a formaldehyde
reaction. So much paperwork.
302
00:14:39,770 --> 00:14:44,100
You know, if I'm not the Chris Stevens
named in this warrant, who am I?
303
00:14:45,470 --> 00:14:47,000
You might want to
think about that.
304
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,100
Right. All right.
305
00:14:53,950 --> 00:14:55,750
Mike.
Oh, Maggie. Maggie...
306
00:14:55,820 --> 00:14:57,410
I need your help.
307
00:14:57,490 --> 00:14:58,880
Really? Okay, how?
308
00:14:59,250 --> 00:15:01,590
Can you go to Anchorage?
What?
309
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,350
Go to the law library? I
need precedents, case citings.
310
00:15:05,430 --> 00:15:07,330
Anything related
to identity.
311
00:15:07,430 --> 00:15:08,620
Okay.
312
00:15:08,700 --> 00:15:10,660
You will? You'll go?
313
00:15:10,730 --> 00:15:11,990
Sure.
314
00:15:12,330 --> 00:15:13,490
Thanks.
You're welcome.
315
00:15:13,570 --> 00:15:15,970
All right, identity?
Yes, identity.
316
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,070
Thanks.
317
00:15:21,580 --> 00:15:22,670
May I help you?
318
00:15:22,740 --> 00:15:24,940
I'm just looking
for something to read.
319
00:15:25,010 --> 00:15:27,310
Fiction? Non-fiction?
Fiction.
320
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:32,040
I have the latest Toni Morrison
in hardback beneath the counter.
321
00:15:32,290 --> 00:15:33,280
No.
322
00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:35,550
Anne Tyler?
Jane Smiley?
323
00:15:36,290 --> 00:15:39,120
I'm looking for something
a little lighter.
324
00:15:40,330 --> 00:15:42,420
I think I have
just what you want.
325
00:15:45,730 --> 00:15:48,200
Oh, I've read it.
Oh, darn.
326
00:15:48,270 --> 00:15:51,200
Do you have Danielle Steel's
latest, by any chance?
327
00:15:51,540 --> 00:15:53,340
I'm out. It's good.
328
00:15:53,410 --> 00:15:55,040
All of hers are good.
329
00:15:55,180 --> 00:15:57,910
I thought Letter From Nam
was a stretch.
330
00:15:58,210 --> 00:16:00,510
Now, here's one
you might like.
331
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:02,870
Susan Crosland?
332
00:16:02,950 --> 00:16:05,650
The Sleetmute Sentinel
calls her...
333
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,620
"The thinking woman's
Jackie Collins. "
334
00:16:09,260 --> 00:16:12,920
"Jock Liddon, Washington's
most powerful lobbyist...
335
00:16:12,990 --> 00:16:16,690
"and his beautiful, amoral
associate, Lisa Tabor...
336
00:16:17,130 --> 00:16:20,400
"for them, no tactics are
out of bounds...
337
00:16:20,470 --> 00:16:22,900
"in boardrooms or bedrooms. "
338
00:16:22,970 --> 00:16:25,340
I'll take it.
Good. Enjoy.
339
00:16:26,710 --> 00:16:28,270
I'm Elizabeth Percy.
340
00:16:28,340 --> 00:16:29,640
Ruth-Anne Miller.
341
00:16:29,710 --> 00:16:33,910
Ruth-Anne, I need a birthday
present for my grandson. He's eight.
342
00:16:33,980 --> 00:16:37,940
Hmm. My junior armaments
section is over there.
343
00:16:38,090 --> 00:16:40,950
Slingshots, bazooka,
water pistol.
344
00:16:41,020 --> 00:16:42,150
Perfect.
345
00:16:45,190 --> 00:16:46,660
Look at her.
346
00:16:47,900 --> 00:16:50,130
She does have an appetite,
doesn't she?
347
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,630
That woman rends the social
fabric of an entire town...
348
00:16:53,700 --> 00:16:57,260
then sits down to a mid-afternoon
feed like nothing happened.
349
00:16:57,340 --> 00:17:01,070
Well, Maurice, now, she's
obliged to uphold the law.
350
00:17:01,410 --> 00:17:04,240
Yeah, they used
that argument in Nuremberg.
351
00:17:04,550 --> 00:17:07,910
Didn't hold water then,
and it doesn't hold water now.
352
00:17:08,750 --> 00:17:11,240
The woman has
no conscience.
353
00:17:12,020 --> 00:17:14,080
Mooseburger, medium well.
354
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,090
Thanks, Shelly.
355
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,560
But I think I've
lost my appetite.
356
00:17:19,230 --> 00:17:21,090
Thinking about Chris, huh?
357
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:26,000
Well, actually I was thinking about me and
all the bad things I've done in my life.
358
00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:27,360
Like what?
359
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,630
Well...
360
00:17:28,870 --> 00:17:32,170
like me and Dan Richmond used
to go down to Mosquito Lake...
361
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,470
and drop boat anchors
on frogs.
362
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:36,370
Why?
363
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,180
It was fun.
Yuck.
364
00:17:39,950 --> 00:17:41,920
Do Indians believe in sin?
365
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,180
What do you mean?
366
00:17:44,250 --> 00:17:47,420
You know, original,
venial, mortal.
367
00:17:48,290 --> 00:17:52,750
See, if you were Catholic, you could just
say a bunch of Hail Marys and Our Fathers...
368
00:17:52,830 --> 00:17:54,820
and the slate would be
wiped totally clean.
369
00:17:55,260 --> 00:17:57,200
Oh, really?
Uh-huh.
370
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,730
And then you don't get
punished or anything?
371
00:17:59,900 --> 00:18:00,930
Uh-uh.
372
00:18:01,900 --> 00:18:03,200
Oh, wow.
373
00:18:04,740 --> 00:18:05,830
What about the frogs?
374
00:18:05,910 --> 00:18:07,340
What about them?
375
00:18:08,580 --> 00:18:10,940
Well, they're still dead.
376
00:18:11,580 --> 00:18:15,110
Well, that's true. But, if
they were good, little frogs...
377
00:18:15,180 --> 00:18:16,650
they're in froggy heaven.
378
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:18,710
Oh.
379
00:18:24,790 --> 00:18:27,890
You see, Holling bought me
this satellite dish...
380
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,260
and I was zoning out on it
morning, noon and night.
381
00:18:31,370 --> 00:18:33,490
I couldn't tear myself away.
382
00:18:33,570 --> 00:18:38,230
Well, it was really weirding
me out, so I went to Chris.
383
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,540
He heard my confession.
384
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,440
After that,
everything was cool.
385
00:18:43,810 --> 00:18:46,080
Especially when the dish
blew down in a storm.
386
00:18:46,150 --> 00:18:50,020
Excuse me, did you say
he heard your confession?
387
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,880
Oh, Chris is a priest.
388
00:18:51,950 --> 00:18:55,150
Minister, Your Honor. Worldwide
Church of Truth and Beauty.
389
00:18:55,220 --> 00:18:57,550
I answered an ad
on the back of Rolling Stone.
390
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,050
I see.
391
00:18:59,130 --> 00:19:02,860
Chris does all the major gigs
in Cicely. Funerals, weddings.
392
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:04,960
He almost married
me and Holling.
393
00:19:05,030 --> 00:19:08,590
And he did divorce me and
Wayne, which was totally cool.
394
00:19:08,670 --> 00:19:11,600
Turned out that due to a
slight oversight on my part...
395
00:19:11,670 --> 00:19:15,040
I'd neglected to pay my
income taxes for 33 years.
396
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,730
I needed $9,000,
and Chris bailed me out.
397
00:19:19,610 --> 00:19:21,950
Bought a half interest
in The Brick.
398
00:19:22,020 --> 00:19:25,580
Turned things around. Soon we
were making money hand over fist.
399
00:19:25,820 --> 00:19:27,520
Only Chris wasn't happy.
400
00:19:27,820 --> 00:19:31,160
You see, Your Honor, he said there are
two types of people in this world...
401
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,020
owners and renters, and he
found out he was a renter.
402
00:19:35,260 --> 00:19:38,790
So he turned his investment
into an indefinite loan.
403
00:19:39,630 --> 00:19:41,970
That's the kind
of friend he is.
404
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,230
That's the kind
of man he is.
405
00:19:45,410 --> 00:19:46,700
I see.
406
00:19:48,940 --> 00:19:50,470
Proceed, Mr. Monroe.
407
00:19:51,150 --> 00:19:53,550
Dr. Fleischman,
which area of the brain...
408
00:19:53,610 --> 00:19:56,280
is responsible
for personal identity?
409
00:19:57,150 --> 00:19:58,410
No one can say, exactly.
410
00:19:58,490 --> 00:19:59,850
No?
Nope.
411
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:01,250
Why not?
412
00:20:01,820 --> 00:20:06,820
We're talking about hundreds of billions
of neurons wrapped up inside a package...
413
00:20:06,890 --> 00:20:08,690
smaller than a breadbox.
414
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,360
Now, scientists are just beginning
to understand how it works.
415
00:20:11,430 --> 00:20:13,700
There are some researchers
that claim that when they do...
416
00:20:13,770 --> 00:20:15,460
we're going to have
to give up the idea...
417
00:20:15,540 --> 00:20:17,400
of personal identity
altogether...
418
00:20:17,470 --> 00:20:21,570
or at least a personally-
directed consciousness.
419
00:20:21,740 --> 00:20:23,610
Ghost in the machine.
420
00:20:24,380 --> 00:20:26,900
You wish to add something,
Mr. Stevens?
421
00:20:26,980 --> 00:20:30,180
René Descartes, Your Honor, a 17th
century philosopher, postulated...
422
00:20:30,250 --> 00:20:34,880
that the mind and body are two separate
entities, a theory known as dualism.
423
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,050
And over time, the dualists were
challenged by the materialists...
424
00:20:38,130 --> 00:20:40,250
who believed that the mind was
simply part of the body.
425
00:20:40,330 --> 00:20:44,660
And in I949 Gilbert Ryle scored a
major victory for the materialists...
426
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,860
when he ridiculed Descartes' concept
of the mind as "ghost in the machine. "
427
00:20:49,870 --> 00:20:52,500
Actually, that's
a very good summary...
428
00:20:52,570 --> 00:20:55,340
but even if we accept
the materialists' notion...
429
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,210
of a mind as nothing more than
a very sophisticated machine...
430
00:20:59,580 --> 00:21:03,520
no one has been able to
explain exactly what...
431
00:21:03,750 --> 00:21:05,980
makes it run or how.
432
00:21:06,250 --> 00:21:09,150
So, if I'm hearing you
correctly, Dr. Fleischman...
433
00:21:09,290 --> 00:21:13,280
from a medical perspective,
no one can say for certain...
434
00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:16,820
what constitutes personal
identity. Correct.
435
00:21:17,060 --> 00:21:20,230
Which also means that no
one can say how or why...
436
00:21:20,300 --> 00:21:23,760
a person's identity
might change over time.
437
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,040
With the exception of trauma cases
where there's actual tissue damage?
438
00:21:28,110 --> 00:21:30,810
Yes, I would say
that that is right.
439
00:21:31,180 --> 00:21:34,110
Thank you, Dr. Fleischman.
You may step down.
440
00:21:35,620 --> 00:21:39,420
Your Honor, we now turn
to the classic question...
441
00:21:39,490 --> 00:21:41,250
nature or nurture?
442
00:21:41,820 --> 00:21:46,590
Which is most responsible for the
development of the human personality?
443
00:21:47,090 --> 00:21:49,760
Mr. Monroe, the court is
indulgent to a point...
444
00:21:49,830 --> 00:21:53,230
but I draw the line at
a lecture in Psychology 101.
445
00:21:53,300 --> 00:21:56,330
Your Honor-
You are vamping, Mr. Monroe.
446
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,460
A little. But I do
have a point.
447
00:21:58,540 --> 00:21:59,970
Then make it.
448
00:22:00,310 --> 00:22:03,070
It is my contention
that the accused is not...
449
00:22:03,140 --> 00:22:05,310
the same person
that he was before.
450
00:22:05,780 --> 00:22:09,580
To demonstrate that, I must
first establish who he was...
451
00:22:09,650 --> 00:22:13,710
charting the forces that
formed young Chris Stevens.
452
00:22:13,790 --> 00:22:17,350
If you would examine the photograph
in front of you, Your Honor...
453
00:22:17,630 --> 00:22:20,820
I'd like to transport you
back in time...
454
00:22:20,900 --> 00:22:22,590
to where it was taken.
455
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,930
Wheeling, West Virginia,
I97l.
456
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,970
Chris Stevens, 8 years old.
457
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,940
A happy domestic scene?
458
00:22:32,010 --> 00:22:33,410
Not exactly.
459
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,240
That's not allowance money
in the youngster's hand.
460
00:22:36,310 --> 00:22:38,800
It's the take
from the Union 76 station...
461
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,850
at the corner of Western
and Grand.
462
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:44,580
The men are Chris's uncles.
The woman is his mother.
463
00:22:44,950 --> 00:22:47,940
Together, they were known
as the Stevens Gang.
464
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,090
This was no ordinary family.
465
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,750
The Stevens' boys prided
themselves on never working...
466
00:22:52,830 --> 00:22:54,800
a legitimate day
in their lives.
467
00:22:54,860 --> 00:22:57,460
An ethos passed on
to young Chris.
468
00:22:59,030 --> 00:23:02,830
Big Daddy, Jack Stevens,
was a salesman, seldom home...
469
00:23:03,140 --> 00:23:06,200
supposedly on the road
selling greeting cards.
470
00:23:06,910 --> 00:23:09,470
Actually, he was raising
a second family...
471
00:23:09,540 --> 00:23:12,140
with a second job
in a second state.
472
00:23:12,210 --> 00:23:16,780
Suffice it to say young Chris did not grow
up with a healthy respect for authority.
473
00:23:17,620 --> 00:23:19,280
It was at
the state penitentiary...
474
00:23:19,350 --> 00:23:22,410
that Chris Stevens embraced
his mentor Walt Whitman...
475
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,790
and took up a personal vow
never to stick up Shop Easys...
476
00:23:25,860 --> 00:23:29,520
steal cars, or violate
the homes of others again.
477
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,260
He would become an artist.
478
00:23:34,030 --> 00:23:36,160
His debt to society paid...
479
00:23:36,340 --> 00:23:40,240
he left the state pen
with $23, a used Harley...
480
00:23:40,310 --> 00:23:42,280
and a sense of destiny.
481
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:48,310
And so young Chris Stevens disappeared
into the margins of his criminal past...
482
00:23:48,620 --> 00:23:52,210
and from the ashes, a new
Chris Stevens emerged...
483
00:23:52,290 --> 00:23:55,410
to be reborn beyond
the West Virginia horizon...
484
00:23:55,490 --> 00:23:58,290
under Alaskan skies.
485
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,700
Where are those prints?
486
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,990
Your Honor, I don't
understand it.
487
00:24:08,900 --> 00:24:13,140
In view of the hour, court
is adjourned until tomorrow.
488
00:24:13,210 --> 00:24:15,040
Oh, I'm not done,
Your Honor.
489
00:24:15,110 --> 00:24:16,700
Well, I am.
490
00:24:16,780 --> 00:24:19,300
Court is adjourned
until 10:00 a. m.
491
00:24:19,380 --> 00:24:22,210
You may conclude
at that time, Mr. Monroe.
492
00:24:23,820 --> 00:24:25,440
There's a lot
of legal precedents...
493
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:26,990
on multiple personality
disorders...
494
00:24:27,050 --> 00:24:30,320
but I couldn't find any legal
precedents on multiple identities.
495
00:24:30,390 --> 00:24:33,260
Oh, man, maybe I just didn't look
in the right place, or something.
496
00:24:33,330 --> 00:24:35,350
No, no, no,
you did fine.
497
00:24:35,430 --> 00:24:39,230
It's just that I don't have a
legal leg to stand on, that's all.
498
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,200
Gee, I gotta get away
from all this paper.
499
00:24:45,270 --> 00:24:47,710
You know, what about this
Massachusetts decision?
500
00:24:47,780 --> 00:24:52,180
The court ruled out using DNA fingerprinting
as evidence because, listen to this...
501
00:24:52,780 --> 00:24:55,250
"There was disagreement within
the scientific community...
502
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,510
"regarding the validity
of the database. "
503
00:24:57,580 --> 00:24:58,880
It's interesting.
504
00:24:58,950 --> 00:25:02,620
But it doesn't challenge the
principle of physical identification...
505
00:25:02,690 --> 00:25:04,280
only the methodology.
506
00:25:05,260 --> 00:25:07,390
Oh.
It's hopeless.
507
00:25:07,460 --> 00:25:08,950
Chris is a goner.
508
00:25:10,460 --> 00:25:13,590
You look tired, Mike.
You should get some sleep.
509
00:25:14,170 --> 00:25:15,600
Hey, Mike.
510
00:25:17,500 --> 00:25:18,870
You're doing your best.
511
00:25:22,210 --> 00:25:25,580
Hell of a farewell party,
Chris. Good luck in the joint.
512
00:25:25,650 --> 00:25:27,310
Thanks, J.D.
513
00:25:27,380 --> 00:25:29,080
Can I sweeten up
your drink?
514
00:25:29,150 --> 00:25:31,120
Yeah, yeah. Sure.
Thanks, Holling.
515
00:25:31,190 --> 00:25:33,620
I want to tell you how much I
appreciate this party and all.
516
00:25:33,690 --> 00:25:35,680
Well, it was all
Shelly's idea.
517
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,350
Hey, it's not every day we have one
of our own sent COD to the slammer.
518
00:25:39,430 --> 00:25:41,120
Well...
519
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,160
Hey, Marilyn.
520
00:25:42,230 --> 00:25:43,590
I brought burritos.
521
00:25:43,660 --> 00:25:46,500
All right. These are gonna
go great with the meatballs.
522
00:25:46,570 --> 00:25:48,470
Hey, Marilyn. What's up?
523
00:25:48,540 --> 00:25:49,930
Hey, Chris.
524
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,010
You want my autograph?
Uh-huh.
525
00:25:56,180 --> 00:26:00,170
Wow. Never had anybody ask
for my autograph before.
526
00:26:02,220 --> 00:26:03,380
Thanks.
527
00:26:03,450 --> 00:26:04,750
You're welcome.
528
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:06,810
Bye.
529
00:26:06,990 --> 00:26:08,250
Adiós.
530
00:26:19,570 --> 00:26:22,330
Not a whole lot of faith
being expressed here, huh?
531
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,840
Oh, Joel, on the contrary,
this is...
532
00:26:24,910 --> 00:26:27,600
an outpouring of faith
in our legal system.
533
00:26:27,670 --> 00:26:31,870
You know, "The guilty must be punished
for the good of the state. " Billy Budd.
534
00:26:31,950 --> 00:26:33,070
Who?
535
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,250
It's a short story
by Melville.
536
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,880
Billy Budd was
a saintly foretopman.
537
00:26:37,950 --> 00:26:39,280
He was beloved
by his shipmates.
538
00:26:39,350 --> 00:26:42,150
He unintentionally kills evil
petty officer John Claggart.
539
00:26:42,220 --> 00:26:45,750
Anguished Captain Vere has no choice
but to hang Billy to maintain order.
540
00:26:46,890 --> 00:26:48,360
End of story.
541
00:26:48,900 --> 00:26:51,420
That's so depressing.
542
00:26:51,870 --> 00:26:54,490
Yeah. But you play,
you pay, right?
543
00:26:59,140 --> 00:27:00,500
Here, let me
pour that for you.
544
00:27:00,570 --> 00:27:02,240
Oh, thank you, Maurice.
545
00:27:02,310 --> 00:27:04,900
Nice party, huh?
Very enjoyable.
546
00:27:04,980 --> 00:27:07,340
Yeah, this is a nice town.
547
00:27:07,410 --> 00:27:11,710
It's the kind of town you could,
settle down, carve yourself out a home.
548
00:27:11,790 --> 00:27:15,150
Listen, Stevens, I'm not
gonna mince words.
549
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,650
After your brother gets
sent up the river...
550
00:27:19,190 --> 00:27:23,150
there's gonna be a certain job opportunity
opening up that I want to speak to you about.
551
00:27:24,230 --> 00:27:25,860
You want me
to replace Chris?
552
00:27:25,930 --> 00:27:28,460
There's no point
in broadcasting it.
553
00:27:28,540 --> 00:27:30,870
Look, you showed me
something today, Stevens.
554
00:27:30,940 --> 00:27:35,600
You showed me a man who is ready and
willing to pick up the fallen standard...
555
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,010
and continue the charge.
556
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,170
You've got a way
with words, son.
557
00:27:39,250 --> 00:27:41,210
You've got the Stevens'
way with words.
558
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,080
And on top of that,
you don't sound black.
559
00:27:44,150 --> 00:27:48,920
Truth is, Bernard, if I close my
eyes, you sound as white as Casper.
560
00:27:49,420 --> 00:27:52,050
You know something, Maurice?
I like you. I do.
561
00:27:52,430 --> 00:27:53,720
And it troubles me.
562
00:27:53,790 --> 00:27:54,760
Troubles you?
563
00:27:54,830 --> 00:27:56,890
Yeah. This may come as a
shock, but you're a bigot.
564
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,730
Bigot?
Yeah, and a racist.
565
00:27:58,830 --> 00:28:03,600
Wait a minute. Because you don't
sound black, I'm a bigot and a racist?
566
00:28:04,470 --> 00:28:08,200
Look, Stevens, I know black people.
I've been around black people.
567
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,080
I know how they talk. They say,
"thang" instead of "thing"...
568
00:28:12,150 --> 00:28:16,140
and they say, "ax. " "I ax you
this, brother. I ax you that. "
569
00:28:16,220 --> 00:28:18,380
Now, you don't say "ax. "
570
00:28:18,450 --> 00:28:22,890
Neither does Colin Powell
or that Denzel fella.
571
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,290
You know
what's interesting?
572
00:28:24,360 --> 00:28:27,890
It is the linkage of King's
English and superior breeding...
573
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,660
and the further linkage of
superior breeding with being white.
574
00:28:31,730 --> 00:28:35,220
Now, rather than saying, "There's a
black person speaking King's English... "
575
00:28:35,300 --> 00:28:37,100
we say, "There's a black
person speaking white. "
576
00:28:37,170 --> 00:28:38,200
What's wrong with that?
577
00:28:38,270 --> 00:28:41,440
Well, for a long time
it hung me up.
578
00:28:42,010 --> 00:28:45,270
I mean, I tried to talk ghetto
in high school, and it wasn't me.
579
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:46,940
Very unsettling.
580
00:28:47,010 --> 00:28:49,980
Well, what's your point?
My point?
581
00:28:50,050 --> 00:28:54,380
Well, I'm not exactly sure. Although
admittedly you're a racist...
582
00:28:54,450 --> 00:28:58,890
and what you said makes me uncomfortable,
there's a kernel of truth to it.
583
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,330
Though I suspect it has more to do with
intellectual and cultural standards...
584
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,130
than it does
with racial distinctions.
585
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,430
Why is it that when I say
something like that...
586
00:29:07,500 --> 00:29:11,560
I'm a racist, and when you say something
like that, you're just being thoughtful?
587
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,130
Oh, no, Maurice,
I'm a racist, too.
588
00:29:14,470 --> 00:29:17,380
For a long time I didn't like
being around white people.
589
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,900
But once I realized that
imperialism, slavery and genocide...
590
00:29:20,980 --> 00:29:24,420
weren't exclusively white institutions,
it helped me loosen up a bit.
591
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:25,710
Huh.
592
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,310
Well, what about the job?
593
00:29:28,590 --> 00:29:30,320
I'll give it some thought.
594
00:29:31,690 --> 00:29:32,660
Pull!
595
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,790
Good shot.
Thanks.
596
00:29:38,300 --> 00:29:40,200
How about two, Ed?
597
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,300
I just gotta run
and get more blue rock.
598
00:29:42,370 --> 00:29:43,530
Okay.
599
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,700
Nice young man.
Oh, Ed's a gem.
600
00:29:47,140 --> 00:29:48,940
You have children,
Ruth-Anne? Mmm-hmm.
601
00:29:49,010 --> 00:29:51,100
Two sons and two grandsons.
602
00:29:51,350 --> 00:29:52,940
How about you?
The same.
603
00:29:53,010 --> 00:29:53,980
Ah.
604
00:29:54,050 --> 00:29:55,950
My younger son's
about Ed's age.
605
00:29:56,020 --> 00:29:58,080
He dropped out
of college last year.
606
00:29:58,150 --> 00:29:59,850
Living on his own now.
607
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:03,580
Doesn't talk to me much. I don't think
he liked having a judge for a mother.
608
00:30:03,660 --> 00:30:04,680
Oh.
609
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,490
Or maybe it was having
a mother for a judge.
610
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,830
Boys are hard.
So are judges.
611
00:30:10,630 --> 00:30:13,930
I wouldn't want your job for
anything. I don't know how you do it.
612
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,440
I've always been a judge,
Ruth-Anne.
613
00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:20,170
Even as a kid, people always seemed to
be on their best behavior around me...
614
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,700
like they sensed some kind
of innate judiciousness.
615
00:30:25,410 --> 00:30:30,010
You know, when somebody comes in and
tells me they want five pounds of apples...
616
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,310
at 40 cents a pound,
I can tell them that's $2.
617
00:30:33,420 --> 00:30:36,050
But you have to look
someone in the eye and say...
618
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,460
"What you did is going to
cost you three years in jail. "
619
00:30:39,530 --> 00:30:40,790
And that's different.
620
00:30:40,860 --> 00:30:43,960
I'm not judging people,
I'm judging their actions.
621
00:30:44,770 --> 00:30:49,500
It's the same type of distinction that
I try to apply to myself, to judge...
622
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,670
but not be judgmental.
623
00:30:52,010 --> 00:30:53,670
I don't know.
624
00:30:53,740 --> 00:30:56,040
Sounds like a lot
of hooey to me.
625
00:30:57,580 --> 00:31:02,480
Dealing with my boys, all I had,
most of the time, to go on was my gut.
626
00:31:03,150 --> 00:31:04,780
And I was glad
to have that.
627
00:31:06,220 --> 00:31:09,850
You consider the facts,
you sift the evidence.
628
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,290
Oh, I don't know,
Ruth-Anne, sometimes...
629
00:31:14,190 --> 00:31:17,360
I think that it's all a game
I play with myself...
630
00:31:17,430 --> 00:31:20,260
to avoid feeling responsible
for what I do.
631
00:31:20,900 --> 00:31:22,700
So, you have doubts?
632
00:31:23,300 --> 00:31:25,600
An old judge told me
that the trick...
633
00:31:25,670 --> 00:31:30,370
is to act 100% certain
when you only feel 51% right.
634
00:31:30,940 --> 00:31:33,280
All set.
Pull!
635
00:31:35,980 --> 00:31:38,750
I don't know, guys, I really
feel like I let you down.
636
00:31:38,820 --> 00:31:40,290
Hey, Mike,
don't be bummed.
637
00:31:40,350 --> 00:31:42,320
You know, you're doing
a great job. Everybody's-
638
00:31:42,390 --> 00:31:44,620
Oh, no, thanks. Everybody's
having a good time.
639
00:31:44,690 --> 00:31:46,780
We're all learning
something here.
640
00:31:47,330 --> 00:31:50,820
Chris, I may have to
put you on the stand.
641
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:51,950
Cool.
642
00:31:52,030 --> 00:31:54,800
Well, maybe.
It could be risky.
643
00:31:54,870 --> 00:31:59,070
Do you have any idea what's gonna come out
of your mouth from one minute to the next?
644
00:31:59,140 --> 00:32:01,400
Well, usually
I just let it happen.
645
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,410
That's what I was
afraid of.
646
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,410
Why, Mike? You want me
to tell the truth, right?
647
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,000
Absolutely.
648
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,740
But there are different ways
of telling the truth.
649
00:32:09,820 --> 00:32:14,410
What I think Mike is getting at is that
most defendants rehearse their testimony...
650
00:32:14,490 --> 00:32:15,890
before taking the stand.
651
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,550
Really?
Uh-huh.
652
00:32:17,620 --> 00:32:19,390
That kind of takes
the fun out of it, yeah?
653
00:32:19,460 --> 00:32:23,360
Well, the object of a trial isn't
to have fun, Chris. It's to win.
654
00:32:23,930 --> 00:32:27,130
Right, to win. What do you
want me to say?
655
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,330
Well, I had Maggie draw up a
few sample questions and answers.
656
00:32:33,010 --> 00:32:34,200
Well, what if
I don't agree?
657
00:32:34,270 --> 00:32:36,400
Well, you can put it
in your own words.
658
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,570
No, I mean, what if
it's not the way I feel?
659
00:32:39,650 --> 00:32:43,550
Chris, you did agree to the basic
framework of your defense, right?
660
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:45,210
No.
661
00:32:46,420 --> 00:32:48,480
It happened so quickly.
662
00:32:49,490 --> 00:32:52,250
But you do like
how it's been going, right?
663
00:32:52,330 --> 00:32:55,160
Oh, yes, Mike.
Totally. Absolutely.
664
00:32:55,230 --> 00:32:57,860
Well, these answers,
they fit right in.
665
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,230
You guys want me to lie?
666
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,490
Oh, no, no, Chris. No
one's asking you to lie.
667
00:33:03,570 --> 00:33:06,770
It's a question of putting
your best foot forward.
668
00:33:07,140 --> 00:33:08,630
Oh, man.
669
00:33:09,980 --> 00:33:12,640
Attorneys and clients confer
all the time, Chris.
670
00:33:12,710 --> 00:33:14,410
It's standard procedure.
671
00:33:15,220 --> 00:33:17,120
Is this the American
thing to do?
672
00:33:17,180 --> 00:33:20,420
Is this what the framers of
our Constitution had in mind...
673
00:33:20,490 --> 00:33:22,580
when they talked
about due process?
674
00:33:22,660 --> 00:33:25,680
You know, manipulation,
deception, sophistry?
675
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,450
If you can't live
with this, Chris...
676
00:33:27,530 --> 00:33:30,260
I mean, if you think it's
a betrayal of principle...
677
00:33:30,330 --> 00:33:32,360
we can just drop
the whole thing.
678
00:33:32,470 --> 00:33:35,060
Right. See you in
two, three years.
679
00:33:35,140 --> 00:33:36,430
Whenever you get out.
Whatever.
680
00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:38,770
I wouldn't count
on any leniency.
681
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,870
If you go in, they're gonna make you
serve out the whole term this time.
682
00:33:44,510 --> 00:33:48,450
Well, in that case, boys,
let's give it a shot.
683
00:33:52,590 --> 00:33:54,850
Well, mother came to
tell me that she and dad...
684
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,820
were getting divorced, you know,
and then my house burned down.
685
00:33:58,890 --> 00:34:03,160
And there was my mother babbling
away and me completely miserable.
686
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,200
And then Chris came around.
687
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,770
He was looking
for something to fling.
688
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,100
Fling?
689
00:34:10,470 --> 00:34:13,030
Yeah, well, he built
this giant catapult.
690
00:34:13,110 --> 00:34:15,600
A trebuchet.
A medieval siege weapon.
691
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:19,440
Right. Anyway, he was
going to fling a cow...
692
00:34:19,710 --> 00:34:22,340
and then he decided that,
well, since it had been done...
693
00:34:22,420 --> 00:34:26,610
he would actually like to fling
something else, and he chose my piano.
694
00:34:26,690 --> 00:34:29,350
He flung your piano
instead of a cow?
695
00:34:29,820 --> 00:34:32,050
It was incredible.
696
00:34:32,660 --> 00:34:36,360
I mean, you couldn't believe the
G-forces that could develop on this thing.
697
00:34:36,430 --> 00:34:39,330
I mean, it could make the human
body implode before impact.
698
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,770
My piano went supersonic,
and for this brief moment...
699
00:34:44,270 --> 00:34:48,470
this instrument that I had sat
at and sung to and wept over...
700
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,810
just slipped the bonds
of gravity.
701
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:55,540
It soared to its own unimaginable
crescendo, as if it would never come down.
702
00:34:56,250 --> 00:34:58,580
And then, boom!
703
00:35:00,650 --> 00:35:03,180
I mean, it was so moving.
704
00:35:05,290 --> 00:35:07,620
I don't know
how to describe it, really.
705
00:35:08,830 --> 00:35:12,460
But I forgot all about
my house and my mother...
706
00:35:13,930 --> 00:35:16,730
and it was Chris
who turned all that around.
707
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:19,400
Well...
708
00:35:19,470 --> 00:35:23,100
no one could figure out who
was ripping off all the radios.
709
00:35:24,110 --> 00:35:26,010
And then I got my break.
710
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,640
I saw Chris...
711
00:35:28,150 --> 00:35:32,280
taking a tape deck out of Gary
McClellan's flatbed truck...
712
00:35:32,350 --> 00:35:34,010
and I had my man.
713
00:35:34,490 --> 00:35:37,550
And when I asked him
why he'd done it, he said...
714
00:35:37,620 --> 00:35:41,890
"People gotta be reminded that the
world is an unpredictable place...
715
00:35:42,830 --> 00:35:45,560
"and that chaos
is always there...
716
00:35:46,070 --> 00:35:49,040
"lurking just beyond
the horizon. "
717
00:35:50,700 --> 00:35:53,070
And then he told me something
I'll never forget.
718
00:35:53,140 --> 00:35:54,700
He said, "Ed...
719
00:35:55,810 --> 00:35:58,900
"sometimes, you gotta
do something bad...
720
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:00,910
"just to know
you're alive. "
721
00:36:07,250 --> 00:36:08,620
I like him.
722
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:09,850
Very good, Marilyn.
723
00:36:10,060 --> 00:36:13,030
Now, will you please tell
the court why you like him?
724
00:36:13,460 --> 00:36:17,190
What is it about Chris Stevens
that makes him so special?
725
00:36:20,100 --> 00:36:23,760
Anything. Use your own words.
Say anything you'd like.
726
00:36:28,780 --> 00:36:30,970
Is there anything
you'd like to add?
727
00:36:31,540 --> 00:36:32,740
No.
728
00:36:35,550 --> 00:36:38,420
Well, then, thank you.
You may step down.
729
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,590
Your next witness,
Mr. Monroe?
730
00:36:44,890 --> 00:36:48,120
I have the prints, Your Honor!
They're an exact match.
731
00:36:48,190 --> 00:36:51,720
Mr. Sizemore, I won't have you
interrupting my courtroom.
732
00:36:51,830 --> 00:36:53,260
Yes, Your Honor. I-
733
00:36:53,330 --> 00:36:55,770
Look at that. Look, all the
whorls, every smudge, every-
734
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,240
Yes, could you give them
to me. Yes, Your Honor.
735
00:37:02,540 --> 00:37:05,600
Well, Mr. Monroe, it appears that
you have run out of bullets...
736
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,050
and we have run out of time,
so, if you-
737
00:37:08,110 --> 00:37:09,670
Your Honor...
738
00:37:10,550 --> 00:37:15,180
I would like to call to the stand
Christopher Danforth Stevens.
739
00:37:20,060 --> 00:37:21,320
Raise your right hand.
740
00:37:21,390 --> 00:37:23,330
Do you swear to tell
the truth, the whole truth...
741
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,360
and nothing but the truth,
so help you God?
742
00:37:26,970 --> 00:37:29,160
Mr. Stevens,
is there a problem?
743
00:37:29,240 --> 00:37:32,230
Well, Your Honor, I may have
a conflict of interest here.
744
00:37:32,310 --> 00:37:34,430
Would you care to elaborate?
745
00:37:35,010 --> 00:37:37,440
I can't swear to tell
the whole truth. I mean...
746
00:37:37,510 --> 00:37:40,480
when push comes to shove, I'd
just as soon not go to jail...
747
00:37:40,550 --> 00:37:43,570
and I don't think I can keep that
from influencing my testimony...
748
00:37:43,650 --> 00:37:45,410
if only at the subconscious
level. You see...
749
00:37:45,490 --> 00:37:48,680
Mike and I, we've been over what I'm
supposed to say, and I gotta tell you...
750
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,550
it's pretty persuasive stuff.
But is it the whole truth?
751
00:37:51,620 --> 00:37:54,750
It's a slice of truth.
A morsel, a refraction.
752
00:37:54,830 --> 00:37:58,290
It's a piece of the pie. Certainly not
the whole enchilada. And now that...
753
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,900
I'm thinking about it, I don't think I
could tell the whole truth about anything.
754
00:38:02,970 --> 00:38:07,370
That's a pretty heavy burden, because we
all just see the world through this little...
755
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,670
distorted piece
of Coke bottle.
756
00:38:09,740 --> 00:38:13,580
Is there such a thing
as objective truth?
757
00:38:13,810 --> 00:38:15,640
I wonder. Don't you?
758
00:38:15,780 --> 00:38:18,380
It is a conundrum,
Mr. Stevens.
759
00:38:19,550 --> 00:38:22,750
But it does not help us
with the problem at hand.
760
00:38:22,890 --> 00:38:25,790
Well, maybe I can just,
you know, get up there...
761
00:38:25,860 --> 00:38:27,690
and say the thing
without the oath.
762
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,060
No, I'm afraid
I can't do that.
763
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,190
Well, I guess
I can't testify, then.
764
00:38:37,670 --> 00:38:42,630
Mr. Stevens, in view of
your extraordinary candor...
765
00:38:44,210 --> 00:38:46,740
I am going to break
with tradition here...
766
00:38:47,050 --> 00:38:51,540
and grant you the opportunity to make
a brief statement in your own defense.
767
00:38:51,620 --> 00:38:54,850
It won't go on the official
record, of course...
768
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,450
but I think you've earned
that much.
769
00:39:00,290 --> 00:39:03,190
Well, I think Carl Jung
put it best, Your Honor.
770
00:39:03,260 --> 00:39:06,460
"We should not pretend to understand
the world only by intellect.
771
00:39:06,530 --> 00:39:08,760
"We apprehend it
just as much by feeling.
772
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,400
"Therefore, the judgment of the intellect
is, at best, only the half of truth...
773
00:39:12,470 --> 00:39:16,530
"and must, if it be honest, come to an
understanding of its own inadequacy. "
774
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:19,340
Thanks.
775
00:39:21,010 --> 00:39:22,980
Thank you, Mr. Stevens.
776
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,850
The court will take a 20-minute
recess to review the physical evidence.
777
00:39:31,830 --> 00:39:33,790
Caller number two,
you're on the air.
778
00:39:33,860 --> 00:39:36,450
Hi. This is Debbie,
from Salmon Point.
779
00:39:36,530 --> 00:39:37,760
Go ahead, Debbie.
780
00:39:37,830 --> 00:39:41,390
Well, first, I want to agree with caller
one that Judge Percy had no right...
781
00:39:41,470 --> 00:39:43,830
to keep we, the people
from watching Chris's trial.
782
00:39:43,900 --> 00:39:45,430
Duly noted.
Here-here.
783
00:39:45,510 --> 00:39:48,740
And second, I was wondering,
if Chris is really two people...
784
00:39:48,810 --> 00:39:50,940
the old Chris and the new
Chris, well, why couldn't...
785
00:39:51,010 --> 00:39:54,410
the old Chris go back to West
Virginia, and the new Chris stay here?
786
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,470
Interesting point,
metaphysically, Debbie.
787
00:39:56,550 --> 00:39:59,070
Well, Debbie, I think
on the corporeal plane...
788
00:39:59,150 --> 00:40:01,120
that the state of
West Virginia has first dibs.
789
00:40:01,190 --> 00:40:04,250
Shall we discuss the philosophical
question raised here, Chris?
790
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,190
The state of sin versus
the state of grace? Mmm-hmm.
791
00:40:07,260 --> 00:40:09,130
Does redemption actually
remake a man...
792
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,930
or simply return him to
some sort of core being, hmm?
793
00:40:12,070 --> 00:40:13,030
Precisely.
794
00:40:13,100 --> 00:40:16,830
Is the reformed sinner truly
a different person than he was?
795
00:40:16,970 --> 00:40:20,100
Well, speaking for Western tradition,
Bernard, I'd have to say no.
796
00:40:20,170 --> 00:40:21,570
Pray tell why,
my brother?
797
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:26,100
Well, I think most born-again
fundamentalists would disagree...
798
00:40:26,180 --> 00:40:29,210
and most Judeo-Christian
theologians would have to argue...
799
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,270
that the reformed sinner simply
discovered a divine spark...
800
00:40:32,350 --> 00:40:34,510
that had always
laid within, anyway.
801
00:40:34,590 --> 00:40:35,850
Answer your question,
Debbie?
802
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:37,580
I guess.
803
00:40:38,460 --> 00:40:39,520
Thank you, Debbie.
804
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,560
Caller number three, this is
Mea Culpa. You're on the air.
805
00:40:44,100 --> 00:40:45,190
Chris Stevens.
806
00:40:45,270 --> 00:40:48,360
This Chris Stevens sitting
before you today...
807
00:40:48,700 --> 00:40:51,830
bears only coincidental
resemblance to the Chris Stevens...
808
00:40:51,910 --> 00:40:55,000
being sought by the state
of West Virginia.
809
00:40:55,070 --> 00:40:59,640
To find that Chris Stevens, you'll
have to look in the pages of history.
810
00:41:00,950 --> 00:41:04,680
Yes, there's evidence that may
appear to make the two men one.
811
00:41:05,890 --> 00:41:09,980
May I remind you of the words of the
illustrious Supreme Court Justice...
812
00:41:10,060 --> 00:41:12,250
Oliver Wendell Holmes.
813
00:41:12,330 --> 00:41:16,350
"Certitude is not
the test of certainty. "
814
00:41:17,930 --> 00:41:19,360
Can you be certain,
Your Honor...
815
00:41:19,430 --> 00:41:22,800
that this is the same man
named in the warrant? If not...
816
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,810
if even the slightest wisp of a doubt
casts its shadow upon your deliberations...
817
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,770
then you must find
for the defendant...
818
00:41:30,910 --> 00:41:32,670
and set him free.
819
00:41:38,720 --> 00:41:41,690
Well, this has been
an interesting couple of days.
820
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,190
My compliments, Mr. Monroe,
on a spirited...
821
00:41:46,260 --> 00:41:48,280
and imaginative defense.
822
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:49,450
Thank you.
823
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,460
As I indicated, however,
when this hearing began...
824
00:41:52,530 --> 00:41:55,660
it is beyond the scope of this
court to rule on anything...
825
00:41:55,740 --> 00:41:58,730
other than the physical
evidence presented before it.
826
00:41:59,140 --> 00:42:03,230
And while the state may have failed
to make its case in a timely fashion...
827
00:42:03,310 --> 00:42:05,870
it did ultimately
deliver the goods.
828
00:42:06,780 --> 00:42:11,650
The fingerprints irrefutably prove
that the defendant is, in fact...
829
00:42:11,720 --> 00:42:14,690
the Christopher Stevens
named in the warrant...
830
00:42:14,750 --> 00:42:17,780
and leave me no choice but to order
him turned over to the custody...
831
00:42:17,860 --> 00:42:19,880
of the State
of West Virginia.
832
00:42:22,100 --> 00:42:26,260
God bless Captain Vere, Your
Honor! Justice has been served!
833
00:42:26,330 --> 00:42:29,430
Mr. Stevens, please sit down.
I'm not through.
834
00:42:29,670 --> 00:42:34,660
Now, while the court may have no
latitude in rendering its decision...
835
00:42:34,770 --> 00:42:38,840
this is not true as to how its
orders are to be carried out.
836
00:42:39,380 --> 00:42:43,080
In special circumstances where
the court deems that the removal...
837
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:47,690
of a certain individual would place an
undue burden upon his or her community...
838
00:42:47,750 --> 00:42:52,420
it is accepted practice to
delay execution of sentence.
839
00:42:53,790 --> 00:42:58,390
After careful review, it is my
opinion that the defendant...
840
00:42:59,270 --> 00:43:03,760
by virtue of what I can only
call his "Chrisness"...
841
00:43:04,470 --> 00:43:07,340
has a vital impact
upon the life of Cicely...
842
00:43:07,410 --> 00:43:12,240
and to summarily remove him would
place an undue hardship on the town...
843
00:43:12,410 --> 00:43:15,210
exceeding the caliber
of his own offense.
844
00:43:16,580 --> 00:43:20,610
Thus, I order Mr. Stevens...
845
00:43:20,690 --> 00:43:25,020
free on his own recognizance for a
period not to exceed three years...
846
00:43:25,290 --> 00:43:29,390
during which time the town of
Cicely is to hire another disk jockey
847
00:43:29,460 --> 00:43:32,830
who can perform the same
services as Mr. Stevens.
848
00:43:33,430 --> 00:43:35,960
If at the end of
this three-year period...
849
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,870
the town has failed
to hire another DJ...
850
00:43:38,940 --> 00:43:43,840
Mr. Stevens will be turned over to
the authorities of West Virginia...
851
00:43:43,910 --> 00:43:45,380
regardless.
852
00:43:46,150 --> 00:43:48,380
Should they show up.
853
00:43:52,950 --> 00:43:54,680
That's it,
ladies and gentlemen.
854
00:43:54,750 --> 00:43:56,550
Court is adjourned.
855
00:43:59,390 --> 00:44:00,480
What happened, Mike?
856
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,360
Well, we won, kind of.
857
00:44:02,430 --> 00:44:04,620
Yeah? Hey!
Yeah.
858
00:44:06,770 --> 00:44:08,200
Excuse me.
859
00:44:08,270 --> 00:44:10,260
Faced the music?
Hey! Great show.
860
00:44:11,700 --> 00:44:14,230
Out of the way, gang way,
move over.
861
00:44:14,310 --> 00:44:17,040
Congratulations, son.
I was with you all the way.
862
00:44:17,110 --> 00:44:18,510
I know you were, Maurice.
863
00:44:34,930 --> 00:44:36,260
Hey.
Hey!
864
00:44:36,330 --> 00:44:39,420
Congrats. You did great.
865
00:44:39,700 --> 00:44:40,690
Yeah?
866
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,130
What, you kidding me?
Mike says you killed her.
867
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:44,360
Shrewd defense.
868
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:45,800
What defense?
869
00:44:45,870 --> 00:44:47,460
The "no defense" defense.
870
00:44:47,540 --> 00:44:48,530
Oh.
871
00:44:49,340 --> 00:44:52,110
Whatever happened in there, I just
- I want you guys to know...
872
00:44:52,180 --> 00:44:54,700
I really, really appreciate
what you said about me.
873
00:44:54,780 --> 00:44:56,870
It's kind of like being
at my own funeral.
874
00:44:56,950 --> 00:44:58,470
I dug it.
875
00:45:00,390 --> 00:45:02,910
Who is Chris Stevens?
Who are any of us?
876
00:45:02,990 --> 00:45:05,390
Are we one person
fixed at birth?
877
00:45:05,630 --> 00:45:08,920
Do we grow like a snowball tumbling
down the mountainside of life...
878
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,400
or can we change,
shed our skin?
879
00:45:11,460 --> 00:45:13,230
The caterpillar
becomes the butterfly...
880
00:45:13,300 --> 00:45:16,290
leaving the remains of
his former self behind.
881
00:45:16,670 --> 00:45:19,760
I look at my yearbook photo, Wheeling
Central Catholic High School...
882
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,070
class of '81, and I wonder
who that stranger is.
883
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,040
Damned if I know.
Maybe that's the point.
884
00:45:25,110 --> 00:45:26,510
Maybe we're not
supposed to know.
885
00:45:26,580 --> 00:45:29,670
Maybe that's what this
earthly joy ride's all about.
886
00:45:29,750 --> 00:45:31,910
Like Robert Frost said...
887
00:45:31,980 --> 00:45:34,080
"We dance around in a ring
and suppose...
888
00:45:34,150 --> 00:45:36,620
"but the secret sits
in the middle and knows. "
