A month before?
A year before?
1:42:02
Are you in love with him today?
1:42:04
Yes. Yes, I am in love with him.
1:42:08
I think I've always loved him.
1:42:11
The State recalls Richard Harland
to the stand.
1:42:15
That's all.
1:42:25
Get some water, please.
1:42:28
Order in the court!
1:42:29
Richard Harland...
1:42:31
...you heard that woman finally
tell the truth.
1:42:34
And now I want the truth out of you.
1:42:37
You heard Ruth Berent confess
her love for you.
1:42:40
And now I ask you, as I have asked you
over and over, time and again:
1:42:44
Are you in love with her?
1:42:46
Are you in love with the woman
who murdered your wife?
1:42:49
My wife was not murdered.
She killed herself.
1:42:52
You honestly believe
Ellen committed suicide?
1:42:55
- Yes.
- Knowing her as you and I did...
1:42:57
...you think her capable,
not only of committing suicide...
1:42:59
...but falsely accusing her sister
of her death?
1:43:02
- Ellen was capable of anything.
- You want the jury to believe...
1:43:05
...that she was that sort of monster?
- Yes, she was that sort of monster.
1:43:09
A woman who sought to possess
everything she loved...
1:43:12
...who loved only for what
it could bring her.
1:43:14
Whose love estranged
her own father and mother.
1:43:16
Whose love possessed her father
until he couldn't call his soul his own.
1:43:21
Who, by her own confession to me,
killed my brother...
1:43:25
...killed her own unborn child...
1:43:29
...and who is reaching from the grave
to destroy her innocent sister.
1:43:34
Yes, she was that sort of monster.
1:43:40
Order in the court!
1:43:49
It took the jury only 10 minutes to bring
in a verdict of not guilty for Ruth.
1:43:54
But Harland had sacrificed himself.
1:43:57
In withholding knowledge
of Ellen's crime...
1:43:59
...he'd become an accessory.
He got two years.
