1:04:00
I'll tell him.
1:04:02
Smith owned Adobe Flat.
He leased it to Komako.

1:04:06
He figured he cheated him because
you gotta have water to raise anything.

1:04:10
There never was any water on Adobe Flat.
1:04:14
Komako dug a well.
He must have gone down 60 feet.

1:04:19
He got plenty of water.
That made Smith pretty sore.

1:04:23
He didn't like Japs anyway.
1:04:28
The day after Pearl Harbor,
Smith went to Sand City.

1:04:32
Yeah, he got turned down. Tried to enlist.
1:04:36
When he got back, he was pretty sore.
1:04:39
Around 10:00, we all started drinking.
1:04:42
10:00 in the morning?
1:04:45
Smith, Coley, Sam, Hector, and me.
1:04:50
We were all drunk.
1:04:53
Patriotic drunk.
1:04:55
We wanted to go out to scare
the Jap a little and have a little fun.

1:04:58
When we got there,
he heard us coming and locked the door.

1:05:03
Then Smith started a fire...
1:05:07
and the Jap came running out.
His clothes were all burning.

1:05:11
And then Smith shot him.
1:05:14
I didn't even know he had a gun.
1:05:19
Then you got scared and buried him,
and kept your mouth shut?

1:05:23
Yeah.
1:05:28
Well, go ahead and have your drink.
You're going to need it.

1:05:54
Hello, Liz. Pete.
1:05:57
Listen, I'm getting Macreedy out of town.
1:05:59
I would call the police,
but all the outside lines are cut.
