1:26:08
And the night before you took command
of the Southern Cross,
1:26:11
did you or did you not
talk to King Cutler?
1:26:15
This same man who is now
conducting your defense.
1:26:18
Objection, Your Honor. Mr. Cutler is
defending Capt. Stuart, not himself.
1:26:22
Your Honor, before
this case is finished,
1:26:24
I propose to throw
the shadow of the gallows...
1:26:27
over many
in this room.
1:26:29
- [Crowd Muttering]
- [Pounds Gavel]
1:26:33
The witness may answer.
1:26:35
Sure, I talked
to King Cutler.
1:26:38
- So have you.
- [Laughing]
1:26:40
Capt. Stuart,
1:26:42
there are other able skippers
with ships in Rotten Row,
1:26:46
but you were the first to stand
in defense of the pirate
wreckers that haunt these Keys.
1:26:50
I don't ask what unendurable
circumstance drove you to join
these men whom you must despise.
1:26:56
But I will ask the court
for leniency in your behalf...
1:26:59
if you will join with me
in the destruction of these rats?
1:27:03
Tell us who was behind
the wrecking of the Southern Cross.
1:27:07
I'm not hiding behind
anybody, Tolliver.
1:27:10
If you're trying to hang Cutler,
hang 'im for some other wreck.
1:27:13
Nobody gave any orders
on the Southern Cross but me.
1:27:17
You admit giving the order
that drove that ship at top speed...
1:27:21
through thick fog
to sure destruction?
1:27:23
I was her skipper.
1:27:27
And who was
your first mate?
1:27:31
Matthias Widgeon.
1:27:33
- The same man who was first mate of
the wrecked Jubilee?
- Yes!
1:27:38
Your witness,
Mr. Cutler.
1:27:42
No questions.
1:27:46
That's all.
1:27:50
Call Capt. Phillip Philpott.
1:27:53
Capt. Philpott,
please.
1:27:58
Adinarin, how'd you finally
get home last night?
