:20:01
Well, there are reasons.
:20:03
I don't care how.
You just take care of it.

:20:09
The ship is Amistad.
:20:12
It's too small to be
a transatlantic slaver.

:20:16
They're plantation slaves, then?
West Indians?

:20:19
Not necessarily.
:20:21
At least they certainly
don't look it.

:20:24
Not from the glimpse I caught of them
on their way to jail.

:20:28
They have these...scars.
:20:30
- Scars?
- Yeah.

:20:47
They were first detained by officers
of a brig off Long Island.

:20:51
They were conveyed to New Haven -
under what authority, I don't know -

:20:55
and given over to
the local constabulary.

:20:58
About forty of them,
including four or five children.

:21:08
The arraignment
is day after tomorrow.

:21:11
I can only assume that
the charge is murder.

:21:14
I'll see what I can do about that.
:21:18
Perhaps a writ for illegal arrest
and detainment to stall things.

:21:22
At the very least,
make sure they have good counsel.
