:36:00
There's no crime that I've done wrong.
:36:05
Do you deny the killing?
:36:07
I do not deny it.
:36:11
But there's no place in that book where
it says nothing about killing a Chinese.

:36:18
And no one I know
ever heard a law on greasers...

:36:23
niggers, or Injuns.
:36:27
All men stand equal before the law.
:36:31
And I will hang a man for killing anyone,
including Chinks, greasers, or niggers!

:36:38
I'm very advanced in my views
and outspoken.

:36:43
But there's no place in that book that...
:36:45
Trust in my judgment of the book.
:36:50
Besides, you'll hang
no matter what it says...

:36:52
'cause I am the law.
:36:55

:37:08
Don't I get to say nothing?
:37:12
By all means.
:37:14
I want to say that I still believe
this whole thing is a mistake...

:37:19
and that I am no worse,
and probably better...

:37:23
than the men
who are about to end my days.

:37:26
Well spoken, son. That's enough.
:37:31
It was wrong to do this to me
for the crimes mentioned...

:37:35
but I'd also killed white men
and stole their horses.

:37:40
So I figured that
that's what I was being hung for.

:37:44
My only concern was that
that rope be tied properly...

:37:48
and the whole thing done right.
:37:53
It was.
:37:55
Verily, it has come to pass
that the wicked, outlaws, et cetera...
