2:38:02
And not only in this particular case;
in my personal life too
2:38:09
In my defense, I wish to say nothing.
I am evil
2:38:14
I've been a vagabond ever since
I was a child
2:38:16
I'm a murderer, a criminal
2:38:19
You may punish me as you please.
But sin, crime, hatred and violence...
2:38:23
this vicious circle that holds
your society in a vice-grip...
2:38:26
do you think it can be broken
by hanging me?
2:38:30
I don't want to tell you
the story of my life
2:38:33
But all I want to say is, I did not
inherit crime from my parents
2:38:40
From that gutter full of filth
that flows beside my shanty...
2:38:43
I picked up crime. That gutter
is still flowing over
2:38:48
And the virus still breeds
2:38:52
And countless children who live
in those slums...
2:38:57
are falling prey to the virus
every day
2:38:59
Do not think of me. Those children
are the ones you must care for
2:39:06
You must care for your children
2:39:09
Lest come the day when...
2:39:11
yours...
2:39:13
and yours...
2:39:15
and yours...
2:39:18
and your son too stands
in these docks to reiterate...
2:39:21
that it's an honest father's blood
that flows in my veins
2:39:25
Time was when I was an innocent boy,
just like your sons
2:39:30
Like all mothers, my mother too
wove a golden dream for me
2:39:36
She would say, "My son will grow up
to become a lawyer"
2:39:40
"Then he will become a magistrate.
And then, a judge... like his father"
2:39:49
I know the verdict that this court
is about to give
2:39:52
And I'm willing to suffer any sentence.
For my sins, this is atonement
2:39:59
But I await the decision
from yet another quarter
