This is part of the cargo manifest
of a Portuguese vessel,

:10:08
the notorious transatlantic
slave ship the Tecora.

:10:12
The Tecora.
:10:15
I can bring you as many witnesses
as you wish, Mr Holabird...

:10:20
Tecora!
:10:21
Their clients trade primarily off
the coast of West Africa.

:10:25
The Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone.
:10:27
I know what you're thinking.
:10:29
Sierra Leone is a protectorate
of the British Crown.

:10:33
Slavery is outlawed there.
:10:35
Its principal port, in fact,
has been rechristened "Freetown".

:10:38
How, then, can the
Portuguese Tecora...

:10:41
engage in the slave trades
in these waters?

:10:44
I'll tell you how. In a word...
:10:50
Illegally.
:10:53
Whatever these men say
clearly matters not

:10:56
because this proves them liars.
:10:59
My clients' journey
did not begin in Havana,

:11:01
as they keep claiming more
and more emphatically.

:11:05
No, my clients' journey...
:11:10
began much, much further away.
:11:25
I underestimated you, sir!
:11:28
I really did!
:11:30
- I should take that as a compliment.
- Oh, you should indeed, sir.

:11:34
I can't imagine there's no not
reaching a favourable conclusion...

:11:39
Hey! Hey!
:11:42
A-Am I bleeding?
:11:46
There's nothing there.
:11:50
What did I do to deserve this?
:11:52
You took the case, Mr Baldwin.
:11:55
You took the case, sir.
:11:58
I should take that as a compliment.
