1:14:04
I'm not a bloodthirsty man.
1:14:07
I have no desire to see you
lose your two boys.
1:14:10
In fact,
no man could wish that less.
1:14:13
So, on behalf of the great state
of Illinois...
1:14:17
on behalf of the People...
1:14:19
I am prepared to offer you
the life of one of your sons...
1:14:24
provided you tell us
which one of your boys...
1:14:27
stabbed and killed Scrub White.
1:14:30
Don't prompt her, Mr. Lincoln.
1:14:32
Let her answer.
1:14:37
I can't.
1:14:43
Mrs. Clay, you believe in God?
1:14:48
You believe that if you take
a sacred oath in the sight of God...
1:14:52
and on his holy Bible...
1:14:54
that you are bound to speak the truth?
1:14:59
Yes, but I can't.
I just can't!
1:15:03
Mrs. Clay, do you appreciate...
1:15:06
the grave situation
your two boys are in?
1:15:10
Don't you know that, under the law...
1:15:12
they are equally guilty of murder...
1:15:15
that, under the law,
they may both be hanged for it?
1:15:20
But I can't tell you,
and you can't make me!
1:15:24
Don't you understand?
1:15:26
I am offering you
the life of one son.
1:15:30
Take it and tell us which boy
killed Scrub White.!
1:15:36
No.
1:15:38
No!
1:15:39
No!
1:15:41
Don't you know this court
can make you answer my question?
1:15:45
Don't you know that you can
be sent tojail yourself?
1:15:49
That shielding a criminal...
1:15:51
makes you an accessory
to that crime?
1:15:54
That by your mistaken affection...
1:15:57
you are deliberately
sending both boys...
