My name is Kai Nyagua...
and James Covey.
:24:09
I speak Mende and English,
his language.
:24:13
You and he will talk
to each other through me.
:24:20
- The clothes?
- And the names.
:24:23
I was rescued off a slave ship
by the British Navy.
:24:26
I never went back.
:24:33
- A problem has arisen.
:24:37
The judge we had,
who believed, I believe,
:24:40
that you should be freed,
has been dismissed.
:24:43
A new judge has been called upon
to hear the case,
:24:47
this time without a jury.
:24:58
How is that possible?
A chief cannot be replaced.
:25:02
I can't explain it in any way
that you would understand, Cinque.
:25:05
Or me, for that matter.
Only that, well, it has happened.
:25:15
I am not a great orator
or advisor, Cinque.
:25:20
I'm not a big man in my profession.
:25:23
I don't know if I alone can convince
this next judge to set you free.
:25:29
I need your help.
:25:33
When we go to court,
I need you to speak.
:25:43
I'm not
an advisor of any kind.
:25:46
I cannot speak for the others.
:25:48
Cinque, the others, they say you can.
:25:51
They say you're the big man here.
:25:54
- I am not.
