1:13:10
Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth,
1:13:11
the whole truth and nothing but the truth,
so help you God?
1:13:14
The Bible.
1:13:17
Say, "I do".
1:13:20
- I do.
- Take the stand.
1:13:30
You are the mother
of Adam and Matt Clay, aren't you?
1:13:36
You love your boys, don't you?
1:13:42
And you would like to save their lives,
if you could.
1:13:49
I'm sure you would, Mrs. Clay.
1:13:54
You were present the night
Scrub White was killed, weren't you?
1:13:57
I saw them fighting.
1:13:59
No, no. Don't be afraid of me,
Mrs. Clay.
1:14:04
I'm not a bloodthirsty man.
1:14:07
I have no desire to see you
lose your two boys.
1:14:10
In fact,
no man could wish that less.
1:14:13
So, on behalf of the great state
of Illinois...
1:14:17
on behalf of the People...
1:14:19
I am prepared to offer you
the life of one of your sons...
1:14:24
provided you tell us
which one of your boys...
1:14:27
stabbed and killed Scrub White.
1:14:30
Don't prompt her, Mr. Lincoln.
1:14:32
Let her answer.
1:14:37
I can't.
1:14:43
Mrs. Clay, you believe in God?
1:14:48
You believe that if you take
a sacred oath in the sight of God...
1:14:52
and on his holy Bible...
1:14:54
that you are bound to speak the truth?
1:14:59
Yes, but I can't.
I just can't!
