:22:07
Chief! Chief!
:22:11
He's not a chief!
:22:14
Brother! Brother!
:22:17
He's not your brother.
:22:21
- What is he then?
- He's a white man.
:22:26
Hear ye! In the matter of the court
of the United States of America
:22:30
in the year of our Lord, 1839, the
honourable Andrew T Judson presiding.
:23:00
If it please, Your Honour.
:23:02
The bench recognises
District Attorney Holabird.
:23:06
I would like to present
the court, Your Honour,
:23:10
with the charges
of piracy and murder...
:23:12
I have a petition for
a writ of habeas corpus.
:23:15
I was speaking.
:23:17
Mr Holabird, your charges, whatever
they might be, will be rendered moot.
:23:21
That petition, Mr Tappan
- if that's what it is - is moot,
:23:25
until an actual writ by some higher
court, by some miracle, is granted.
:23:30
- Mr Holabird is correct.
- And if you would, sir,
:23:34
please kindly refrain from
impersonating a lawyer,
:23:38
which you patently are not.
:23:40
- As I was saying, Your Honour...
- Your Honour.
:23:45
Mr Secretary.
:23:47
Your Honour, I am here on behalf of
the President of the United States,
:23:52
representing the claims of
Queen Isabella of Spain,
:23:55
as concerns our mutual treaty
on the high seas of 1795.
:23:59
- You have my attention.
- Thank you.
