:25:00
Here are the true owners
of these slaves.
:25:07
- Order!
- On their behalf...
:25:09
I am in possession of
a receipt for purchase
:25:12
executed in Havana, Cuba,
June 26, 1839,
:25:16
I do hereby call upon this court
to immediately surrender...
:25:20
-..these goods!
:25:26
And that ship out there
to my clients,
:25:29
- Jose Ruiz...
- Yo soy Ruiz.
:25:31
"Yoso" Ruiz, and... Pedro Montes?
Pedro Montes.
:25:43
Ah, Mr Tappan. How do you do, sir?
:25:46
My name is Roger S Baldwin,
attorney-at-law.
:25:49
Real estate?
:25:51
Real estate, inventories
and other assets.
:25:54
- Can I help you with something?
- What is it that you do?
:25:59
Well, I own various business...
and banks.
:26:02
As a matter of fact, you probably
could help me, Mr Tappan.
:26:07
But that's not why I'm here.
I'd like to help you.
:26:10
- Me?
- Yes. I deal with property.
:26:13
Sometimes I get people's
property back,
:26:16
other times I get it taken away,
as in this case.
:26:18
Every one of the claims speaks
to the issue of ownership.
:26:22
- Thank you, Mr... Mr Baldwin.
- Baldwin, Roger S, attorney-at-law.
:26:26
But I'm afraid what's
needed here is a criminal attorney.
:26:30
A trial lawyer.
But thanks for your interest.
:26:33
Yes. Well...
:26:36
Intending no disrespect, Mr Tappan,
but if that were the way to go,
:26:41
well, then...
:26:43
Well, I wouldn't have bothered
coming down here.
:26:51
Goodbye. I bid you gentlemen
a good afternoon.
:26:55
In closing,...
:26:57
I call upon our distinguished
colleague from Massachusetts,
