Whether you want
to pay a $10 fine...

:09:02
or spend 10 days in jail.
:09:04
I'll take the 10 days.
:09:09
Your Honor?
:09:11
This court's adjourned
until 2:00.

:09:14
You think you're
gonna sit in that jail...

:09:16
while Calvin waits on you?
:09:18
You're gonna paint,
scrub floors. I'm gonna...

:09:27
I want to warn you people you're in
a United States territorial court.

:09:31
We have listened to you enough.
:09:36
Now...
:09:37
Now it is our turn.
:09:41
When the Anglo first wished
to build a house in Sinola,

:09:43
he asked permission.
Yes, yes.

:09:45
The old people, our grandfathers,
say "It is all right.

:09:49
There is enough land.
Let the Anglo have a home."

:09:52
Then you build more houses.
:09:55
You bring in the railroad.
:09:57
You make the courthouse.
:09:59
That is when we begin to
hear you say strange things.

:10:03
Two years ago, we start to
see about our land claims.

:10:06
We go to the record office
in Santa Fe...

:10:09
and ask the man for the copies
of our deeds and the titles.

:10:14
You know what he say?
:10:16
"We don't have records
like that anymore.

:10:20
"There was a fire.
:10:21
All the records
got burned up."

:10:24
If you feel you have a
legal claim and can prove it...

:10:27
We've heard all that!
:10:30
Ricardo.
:10:33
We let you use our land,
but you wish to steal it all!

:10:41
Look, mister,
whatever your name is...

:10:43
I am Luis Chama.
:10:47
So you're Chama?
:10:49
I feel you're a lot more
trouble than you're worth.

:10:52
But I'm still
gonna inform you,

:10:54
you're committing a criminal offense
before a witness in a court of justice.

:10:58
That is the word.
:10:59
Justice!
