:23:01
Don't do it.
You don't have to do it.
:23:05
Sit down
or I'll have you seated.
:23:08
Your Honor, this is a purely
theatrical device designed...
:23:11
...to throw these proceedings
into confusion.
:23:14
Overruled, for the moment.
:23:19
Mrs. Sommersby, are you saying
the defendant is not your husband?
:23:24
As clearly as I can, Your Honor.
:23:28
Are you saying
the defendant is an impostor?
:23:32
Yes, I am.
:23:34
Your Honor, this is absurd!
:23:37
Quite possibly, Mr. Dawson.
:23:40
However...
:23:42
...we cannot continue to try a man
for a capital crime...
:23:44
...if he is not the man in question.
:23:48
Proceed, Mr. Webb.
:23:51
Thank you, Your Honor.
:23:54
And when did you realize
this man was not John Sommersby?
:23:58
It was the little things.
At first, he looked some different.
:24:02
But so did everybody back
from the war.
:24:04
He couldn't remember a lot of things.
His own dog didn't know him.
:24:09
A dog. It's a dog, y'all!
:24:12
Sustained.
:24:16
He never talked about his father,
and he'd been the world to Jack.
:24:21
Your Honor, please!
:24:25
Let's get our cows over their buckets.
:24:28
Please, continue.
:24:31
And after that, when we were...
:24:35
...together in a private way...
:24:38
...I knew it wasn't Jack.
:24:46
A woman would know her own husband.
:24:48
I'm sure most husbands would
like to think so, Mrs. Sommersby.
:24:53
But when you realized
this man was not your husband...
:24:57
...why did you allow people
to believe he was?
