Cap'n Phil.

[Cutler]
Gentlemen.
1:30:10
There are a thousand ways
by which conniving men may profit...
1:30:13
by the wrecking
of their own ships.
1:30:15
And there stands a Charleston sea lawyer
who knows them all.
1:30:21
He swindled
his underwriters!
1:30:23
He swindled you...
1:30:25
as he lay at Satan Shoal to
gut the cargo of a ship...
1:30:28
he himself
had wrecked!
1:30:30
- That cargo ain't been touched.
- Only because no diver will go down.
1:30:35
That ship hangs
on the reef by a hair.
1:30:39
Your Honor,
I demand an answer.
1:30:41
Why was Stephen Tolliver
at that reef?
1:30:43
Mr. Tolliver,
will you answer?
1:30:46
I will not.
1:30:48
[Cutler]
Of course he won't answer!
1:30:50
He can't!
1:30:54
If you please,
Judge Marvin.
1:30:57
I can tell you why
Mr. Tolliver won't answer that question.
1:31:04
Miss Claiborne cannot testify
unless she is called.
1:31:06
Mr. Tolliver, do you wish
Miss Claiborne sworn as your witness?
1:31:12
I do not.
1:31:14
But he's chargin' Steve
with somethin' he didn't do.
1:31:17
Your Honor, there is
nothing to be gained by calling her.
1:31:23
I call Miss Claiborne...
1:31:25
as a witness
for the court.
1:31:32
The reason the Claiborne didn't reach
Havana was that I disabled her.
1:31:36
- You disabled her?
- I parted the main halliards
with a wreckin' ax.
1:31:40
Why?
1:31:44
Because I had faith
in Jack Stuart.
1:31:50
Didn't Mr. Tolliver tell you
that he believed Stuart...
1:31:52
- would wreck the Southern Cross?
- Yes, sir, he did.
1:31:56
Miss Claiborne had every reason
not to believe me.
