The following story is fictional.
All resemblance to reality is mere coincidence.
A nation conceived in freedom...
and based on the equality of men.
Abraham Lincoln.
What the South has always wanted...
is that the Union, according to its creation...
and the original organization of your government,
be directed with purity and truth.
General Robert Lee.
It's time to go.
The parade will start. They are waiting for us.
Sv, it's true. The parade.
I was dreaming.
Dreaming of when we were in Chattanooga.
ΏRecordαis?
Curious, I dreamed with the same!
It is not time to soar! Today we will march...
to March!
Some stopped doing it.
We are six!
Those damn Yankees!
The next year... Maybe we are five.
Or four.
Or three!
Maybe none!
Maybe...
Then you will forget...
Do not forget! Never forget!
We will leave our graves to record it.
Walking...
The whole city will be watching us!
It is the only dva of the year that belongs to us!
"In our archives..."
figure that we received your letter...
11th June...
and our delivery order...
dates from June 17.
I gave the order myself...
to send you a copy...
today, by urgent service.
"If by some inconvenience..."
You must write on the line, not below.
I think I'll never make it, Mr. Hale.
I will teach you.
Next time, recover it.
Thank you very much. I will do it.
"If by some inconvenience,
I would not have received it in mid-July..."
Cancel the class!
I tell him to cancel it!
Can I ask you why?
You must ignore that today is the Commemoration.
What?
For the dead confederates.
In the North, we call it Dva de los condecorados.
Well, you and the other Yankees llámenlo as you want!
But in the South it is memorial dva.
And in this school it's a part-time party!
It is clear that Mr. Hale...
he also needs some instruction!
The class is canceled!
Stop!
- Are you going to continue? - I can not help it.
When I think of Hale's face,
when Buxton told him he needed instruction...
I can not avoid the laughter!
The one who believes himself to be a superior being!
It will have come down to earth.
It was not funny! I could have said it in private.
You must feel it for him...
Sv, I'm sorry.
If I was in love with him, I would feel it too.
You're jealous because you do not pay attention!
Not as much as Joe... What will he say if he finds out?
Dirva the same as me: Take care of your affairs.
- What do I serve? - A cherry juice.
And to you?
A malted chocolate with a very fresh egg...
I'll ask my hens...
- Hurry. - Me too.
If you want to see the parade, I leave at 2...
Thanks, but I have an appointment.
Are you still angry?
You know what happens to me right away.
In addition, it is true that I am in love with him.
He is so handsome...
You also like it...
Sv, it's true.
But he ignores me.
I always think that he is going to stop at my desk,
as it does with you.
And that we will have a romance...
Between teacher and student, as one reads in magazines.
But nothing ever happens.
It always passes by.
And I'm reading my magazines.
Asv is life!
Well sv.
It's 20 cents, little one.
My name is Mary Clay.
- I do not have 20 cents! - What's the matter?
I forgot my toilet in the institute.
Could I go find him before my appointment?
- It's 1 and 45. - And the appointment with Joe?
At 2, next to the statue of General Lee.
Go, I pay for the drinks.
What an adorable creature!
If you were not so stubborn, we would not walk.
We are...
Like when we carried the drums!
And we have more breath!
Well, asv! Asv is!
- Ώ Proud of mv? - Always.
The applause could turn into boos.
Jamαs. They love you too much.
We'll see...
The only thing we will see is you as a senator.
Do not talk so loud.
- Griffin comes behind. - Griffin does not count.
In polvtica, my dear, everyone counts.
They applaud the Governor more.
- It does not mean anything. - They are votes in power.
- When you make your speech... - They will applaud him even more.
We'll see. Remember that it is a Mountford.
His father was a judge. Your grandfather, general.
His name is part of the history of the South.
And you are called Griffin. They do not know him yet.
Making a name takes time.
I do not need a prestigious family to endorse me.
I need something...
that makes them forget immediately everything that he has done.
Something, but very important!
Something that makes me succeed. Something spectacular!
Professor Buxton!
Why did he come back?
I forgot my toiletry bag and without it, I feel naked.
If you prefer stairs,
better for mv.
And we pray once more.
So that prejudice and hatred...
be buried in this holy land.
May they never rise again...
to contribute to death and destruction.
Governor, let me congratulate you.
Only you, a figure from the past, can talk about him.
Thank you, Mr. Griffin.
The more I know my coetains,
I expect a return from the past to the present.
TO THE SOLDIERS OF THE CONFEDERATION
- Who are you looking for? - To a student.
- There's no girl left. - I wanted to make sure.
Any problem?
Find a student.
You should know that it is memorial.
It's closed. It's holiday.
- What a novelty! - I just wanted to help him.
If I need help, I'll ask for it!
I will kill her! Leave me to mv!
Adiσs, Tump.
Good evening, Mr. Hale.
- Is my wife? - Sv.
While the South was celebrating...
a sunny memorial dva, in New York it was snowing...
and in Chicago it rained.
These southerners...
There is an odd smell.
It will be gas.
No, it's cheap perfume... You are tϊ.
I? It's my hair. It smells horrible, is not it?
The barber took advantage that I sleep!
I do not know how you have not noticed that smell...
- What's the matter? - Nothing.
You seem worried.
Is nothing.
A hard dva?
No, I had half a day of partying.
We could have spent the afternoon together.
I heard today, when Buxton humiliated me in public,
for not knowing the traditions of the South.
And, like a Pharisee, he told the whole class:
"It is clear that Mr. Hale needs instruction."
The students laughed.
At that age, girls laugh at everything.
Do not worry.
Why? It's about my job.
Asv, the students will lose my respect.
Where did you go?
What? This afternoon?
I stayed correcting proofs. Then I went for a walk.
- I saw the parade... - Really? Me too.
It has been exciting.
Veterans marching,
the music,
old melodvas that we hear from children...
I still seem to ovrlas.
It's as if a history book became real.
Aplaudv so much, she looked like a certainty.
Sybil, let's go from here.
- Go? Where? - North, where we are from.
Why?
I could never adapt.
You were recently here.
Enough to know that I was wrong.
There is a barrier between people and me.
An increasingly insurmountable barrier.
- Maybe you put it on... - Maybe, I do not know.
It's the first time we've saved.
- Only 200 dollars in 6 months. - It's better than nothing.
Better than living in the misery of New York,
without knowing what will happen at the next dva.
At least, we leave all that.
You have suffered with me.
If necessary, do it again.
But let's try to get ahead here.
Let's stay a while.
We will make friends and you will be happy.
I will make you happy.
You can continue to respond to job announcements.
And if you find something,
we can go back.
- And if nothing happens... - If nothing happens?
Being with you is enough for me,
whatever happens.
You have a stain.
Good subject for when we make love.
There is a stain.
The barber cut me.
ΏCured?
You do not have spots.
- And then? - I'll kiss you anyway.
Since the Armistice there is no parade asv.
More people.
Sv, but less fuss. No injuries, no fights. Nothing.
I racked my brains to write something.
Bill Brock's article is exciting. Listen.
"The crowd, crazy with emotion", by William Brock.
In person.
Good article.
Necessarily. It took me years to write it.
If something happens in this city, it will show you...
how could you write an excellent article,
if I had a subject.
Then you could commit suicide and write your obituary.
Serva interesting.
I do not want to win you by the hand again.
You won't win me, if you were underground.
You look tired... Anything new?
- Any. - That's what I told the boss.
That nothing will happen in the city tonight.
But he insisted.
And here I am.
And there I go.
Do not get away much. You never know.
Anyway, I've already written an article.
A forecast of the 24 hours following the parade. It never fails.
Veterans soak their bunions.
Mrs. Jones fights with her husband. The police arrest her.
Somebody parks his car badly. The police arrest him.
Game table on Main Street.
The police arrest... and he keeps the pasta.
You should have more respect for the police.
ΏRespect?
I do not respect myself.
- See you later, guys! - I'm with you.
Not tonight. I have an appointment with a dream.
ΏQuote with a dream?
I will follow him. Do not be something that happens to you...
Well, this was...
Come outside to see it!
There are better places to sleep than a police car.
Do you believe?
A date with a dream!
Send me the police!
Wake up!
- What's the matter? - A murder.
- What? Who? - I do not know!
I did not go!
Cαllate! We'll see...
You were tϊ! You killed her!
You will pay!
MARY CLAY ASSASSINATED AT THE BUXTON INSTITUTE
BLACK ARRESTED UNDER SUSPECT
It was like a doll.
When I saw it for the first time, it seemed beautiful to me.
Like a doll.
And besides, it was very sweet.
How did they kill her? It is awful!
To think that she was with us and then she appeared dead!
I will take care of of this investigation.
What's wrong with Redwine, the black one?
- Continue with the same story. - Have you checked?
- Why not? - It will not be necessary.
Give me one more hour and I'll confess it.
I do not want violence.
Let us act our way.
Well, no.
Not this time!
It is not just any case, this is important.
A girl has been murdered.
A young woman.
Many people have daughters that age.
They want a culprit.
And I am the person who will find the culprit.
Speak clearly...
and high!
If you do not want me to talk about the last two murders,
Do what I say.
- The Clay. - Pass them.
Wait outside.
The other door!
Ώ Luther Clay?
It's me, and he's Shattuck.
And the other, Ransom Scott Clay.
That's.
Sit down.
We prefer to stay on our feet.
I call them because I need them. Listen...
Escϊchenos you! That Redwine guy...
Before getting angry, wait a bit.
For now, we have no evidence.
But I promise you that if it was he who killed his sister,
I'll go to the electric chair, like my name is Griffin.
It's better!
I need some information about your sister.
Age, history, customs.
Friends, enemies.
I need to know everything.
All!
What do you want us to tell you?
It's enough for us...
accept your...
She who was like a flower,
for all.
When I was a child,
and we return from the factory at night,
we ovamos... revr,
we watch her smile,
and now all that is over.
It's dead.
And we only have the memory of the old man,
and the broken heart of my mother.
That is all!
I am sorry.
He feels it!
That will not return it! Speaking is useless!
- Cαlmate. - Let me talk!
You are not sure if it is the goalkeeper.
Maybe he's right, maybe not.
Better to find out soon.
Because otherwise,
with reason or without reason, I will kill him.
Stop!
Asv does not solve anything!
We still do not know if I killed her.
And if he did,
It can not escape.
Bring Joseph Turner, apprentice of the steel factory.
Your address
I'll have about 20 years, brown, blue eyes...
He was Mary Clay's boyfriend, or one of them.
Bring it to the Buxton Institute.
Laneart, take my car. See you allv.
It will take us a few hours...
Do not you think he rushes to free Redwine?
I'm not going to let go, just dead.
And if he did, what?
I will not succeed at the expense of an unhappy man.
I pretend something better. Look out the window.
These people want the killer...
of Mary Clay is prosecuted and convicted.
They will admire the man who condemns him.
That man would be me!
The dva of the parade told him that,
to succeed, I needed something big.
If I'm not mistaken, I found it!
I solve this case or I kill myself.
We go to the Buxton Institute.
Buxton is inside.
Is that all you can tell us?
It's all I know.
All right...
Believe me,
I would have preferred to die than to endure such a tragedy.
For 3 generations, the Buxtons never...
we were involved in a scandal.
And my graduates hold high positions...
in the bosom of our community.
- Believe me... - We have Turner.
Tribe it.
I would like to return to my house. I do not feel well.
A thing asv disturbs anyone,
but it will stay until the end of the inspection.
I'm stopped?
We can say that sv. Just for a few hours.
I get it.
- Joe Turner? - Sv.
Are you having a date yesterday with Mary Clay at 2?
- Sv. - She did not go?
What did you do?
Look, I do not...
I asked you what you did.
I stayed waiting a bit.
Then I thought maybe he was still in high school.
The doorman came out... I have nothing to do!
Follow.
The doorman came out and said it was closed.
He asked me what he wanted.
I replied that I was looking for a student.
He said no one should be there.
That irritated me. I almost pushed him and went in to check it.
- If only I had done it... - Follow.
A white tvo came out and the doorman told him what was going on.
The white told me there was no one left.
So...
Well, I went to play pool with some friends. Ask them.
How was the target called?
I think his name was Hale.
Mr. Griffin, you mean Robert Hale.
One of the young teachers.
Why did he stay?
I do not know.
Can I go?
At the moment, no. I want to corroborate your version.
Take it to my office.
I will continue interrogating him.
I told the truth!
Why did he lie? She was my girlfriend!
He will not imprison me! You must believe me!
I'm innocent!
- Where are you going? - To the Institute.
It's closed. It can not be passed.
Nobody can enter or leave. Retreat.
- Is he a student? - I'm a teacher.
- Professor? - Sv. What does he care?
Do not be offended I am a journalist.
Do you know Mary Clay?
Cuéntele... Of course he knew her.
I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry.
What's so sociable!
It could have been gentler...
Did you know that I was crazy about him?
- ΏLoca? Who? - Mary Clay.
She was a student of Professor Hale and crazy about him.
- ΏLoca by Hale? - Loquvsima!
- And what happened? - They tried to force me to confess.
But nobody gives Joe Turner orders.
I told the cabrio:
"I will not get anything out of me. I'll just talk to the prosecutor."
- Are not you afraid? - Afraid of what?
I had nothing to hide!
- What happened next? - I spoke with the prosecutor.
A kind tvo, when you know him well.
I told him what he knows.
- What did you say? - That's between me and the prosecutor.
You have become famous. They published your photo in the newspaper.
Remember that I am a key witness.
Tell us the true. Do you have a date with Mary?
I veve all the dvas! I was crazy for mv!
Seriously?
Hello, Shack.
Seriously?
I loved her.
Really!
When I knew I was...
It was like...
The querva! You must believe me! You have to believe me!
He will not lie to you!
Shack, I feel the same as you at this time!
I loved her! You must believe me!
I believe you, Joe.
Thanks, Shack.
Lev you said you'll catch the killer.
Whoever it was.
Sv, I said that.
When the time comes, recover it.
I remembered it!
We will all remember it!
Do not forget it, I will thank you,
because we know...
How will this end?
I do not think it's either Buxton, or Redwine, or Turner.
It is someone who fits ahv.
- Is it a tic-tac-toe? - How did you enter?
I help your butler to win in the races.
- Pretty halo of the girl. - I'll take it off soon.
- Who's going upstairs? - Mr. X.
- Give it to me. - You will know at the time.
- I'll know now. You will tell me tϊ. - I'm busy.
Are you so busy that you do not want help to complete your painting?
- What do you know? - I asked before. Who will go there?
- I already told you, Mr. X. - You're lost, huh?
For the moment, sv.
- And the doorman? - Tell me what you know.
First, the doorman.
- I think it was not him. - A jury maybe sv.
That is not enough.
You mean to say that condemning him is not enough.
- It will not give you votes. - Brock!
- Are not you looking for the truth? - What do you know?
- I have not finished. And Buxton? - Circumstantial witness.
Asv cases have been won.
Well this, no. Not with Buxton.
And here, where prestige counts so much.
You have a great instinct of self-preservation.
You are not different.
It is true.
Do you know something or do you just waste my time, as always?
Let's make a Deal. If my forecast is good, I'll have the scoop.
Done deal.
There's a guy named Hale.
- Teach at Buxton. - Hale?
I've investigated it after Turner named him.
And?
- I was crazy about him. - Who says it?
A companion. He was too.
And then?
He was still in high school when they killed her.
Adiσs, Sherlock Holmes.
If you need a detective, do not hesitate to call me.
Remember the deal!
What does it say?
Not much. I arrived 8 months ago. He is married.
27 years. Live at the Bedford Arms Apartment.
No children or relatives. It's like a stranger.
An unknown?
And she was crazy about him.
And he was when they killed her. Mr. X.
Maybe we fill that space, after all.
Please, send an answer.
Signed: Robert Hale.
- Ready? - Ready, boss.
Aquv has.
I CAN ACCEPT THE EMPLOYMENT THAT YOU PROPOSE
SEMESTER FINISH
PLEASE SEND ANSWER
- ΏY? - Perfect!
When you are a great executive, I will be your secretary.
Do not dream it. I prefer you as a woman.
You already kissed me asv and they fired you.
It will not happen again.
I feel we will soon leave for Chicago.
Will not you tell Buxton anything?
No, he will not miss me, nor I at the institute.
Less since the crime.
How horrible, is not it? Do you know her?
She was my student.
Was she pretty?
Ώ Guapa? Sv, it was.
Was it the doorman?
Better not talk about that.
I am sorry. I did not realize.
- Let's send it. - And your breakfast?
- I send it and I'll be right back. - Wrap it up by phone.
I do not want you to point it out badly.
- Envvalo when going to work. - I can not wait.
Grab your hat, it's cool.
ΏFresco, in the South? I miss you.
I'll be right back.
That is Mr. Hale.
- What happens? - Nothing serious.
The prosecutor wants to question him about Mary Clay.
She was one of his students.
- I do not know anything. - Voucher.
Give it to the boss. That he does not know anything about the girl.
Was he planning to travel?
- You have no right! - Of course not.
Mr. Hale!
- I could not remove the stain. - What's wrong?
In his jacket. It must be paint or blood.
Voucher. Give it to my wife.
We will take it to you. We will keep it.
Come on.
- I want my hat. - Why?
I will notify my wife.
- We accompany him. - As you say.
Have you returned?
Escϊchame.
- Who are they? - Do not be scared, they're detectives.
- ΏDetectives? - The prosecutor wants to interrogate me.
They question those who know Mary Clay, do not they?
It is true. Just some questions.
Do not worry. I'll be back soon.
Sv, do not worry. Come back soon.
Very good. Come on.
Quiet.
Are you nervous?
I do not have why.
I hope so.
Are you sure you do not know anything else?
Nothing.
Except that I'm innocent. I have nothing to do with the crime.
That is all. I want a lawyer.
You have the right to a lawyer.
And I, to continue interrogating him. Lock him up
I want to see my wife!
For now, he can not see anyone.
Tell me to call her.
Call your wife.
What is the number?
Magnolia, 6321.
I'm sorry, they do not answer. Come on.
Asv that is only indications.
If you could, will you process it?
- Not sure, no. - What do they condemn?
Do you want more information?
I have stopped Hale to continue questioning him.
That is all. Adiσs.
Just a moment.
I can give you one more data.
That I do not mix political issues,
and that I will not process anyone until I know if he is guilty.
Ok, Colonel.
And I will, Harmon.
I'm sure of it.
At least, tell me to talk to him.
Why can not I talk to you? He's there, is not he?
Ahv est. Mrs. Hale in person!
- What do they want? - Data! Photos!
- The wife talks. - The press influences justice.
If you help us, we will help you.
Smile.
- Her husband... - What's wrong with my husband?
What's wrong with him? Do not you know?
I only know that they took him this morning to interrogate him...
and I have not seen him again.
Someone must tell him. Your husband is in jail.
In the prison? Why?
- For the murder of Mary Clay. - Ώ Murder?
Of Mary Clay?
Murder!
Faints! I managed it!
Take care of her. When you return to sv, you will speak.
- I will sniff. - Well, we'll all sniff.
This sv that is first: "Honeymoon".
To think that at that moment they were so happy.
Poor guys. His honeymoon...
It was not long ago.
They make me sad.
Well to mv, no. Dαmela.
It will give me even more grief.
He is arrested on suspicion. They have no evidence.
- It will not happen at all. - Do you believe?
Dolly jamαs deceived her.
Dolly knows how she feels.
Cálmese and cuíntemelo everything.
It will be easier to let off steam with a woman.
Did you meet him in New York?
We worked on Wall Street.
It must have been one of those courtships between executives.
And did he seduce her like a tornado?
Robert is a calm person.
We walked together.
We went on an excursion to Coney Island.
Ahv declared to me.
- And they were happy. - We always were.
- You never argued? - Never.
Not even the smallest fight since they got married?
It's incredible, dear.
One, recently.
It was because he wanted to leave here.
Jamαs got used to this place.
He always thought that the southerners reject the North,
that the civil war is still going on. Absurd, is not it?
Very absurd.
Do not publish all this.
It's our life. It is private!
Do not worry.
HALE WAS PLANNING TO FLEE!
- It seems that this time is yours. - Maybe.
There is no doubt, according to what the press says.
The question is to prove it.
Listen, if there is something to prove,
Andy is the right person.
What irritates me is what it says about the South.
Since he thinks that, why does he not return to the North?
Now, go back anywhere!
With the tests you have,
I assure you that it is enough to declare him guilty.
There is no doubt, according to what the press says.
The question is to prove it.
Try it?
That they put me on the jury. I have enough evidence!
And me.
This case is already resolved. That tvo is already condemned!
Excuse me, gentlemen. I'm in a hurry.
If little Andy wins this case,
he will be governor.
I finally decided.
There is only one possible conclusion.
I want you to make an accusation against Hale.
Hale accused! Read the news!
Hale accused!
I did not say what the press published. They lie!
I will not process it for what the press publishes.
I process it because I think he's guilty.
It is impossible.
Robert, no. Lmposible!
You must free it!
The facts speak for themselves.
Acts!
The only thing he has are the lies of the press.
The facts are these.
She was in high school when she was murdered.
He liked Mary Clay.
It is not true.
There was blood on his jacket and he planned to flee.
At least, let me see it.
Clear. I'll let you see it.
Aquv has it. Five minutes!
What good to be together again.
Be in your arms, talk to you, kiss you.
- Even for a few minutes. - A few minutes, sv...
They only leave that to us. Soon they will take everything away from us.
Do not say that.
They can not leave you here.
They will release you.
Do not cheat. Soar will not help us!
I will not come out alive.
I know it since the day they brought me here.
- I have no way out. - There must be!
It would not bother me to die if my death were justified.
But in this case, it is not. It's stupid.
Live, Robert.
You are innocent!
That does not matter to them.
- We'll try it. - ΏCσmo?
With a lawyer.
Will we pay with the 200 dollars we save?
Maybe your mother can help us.
Can not. He has no money for her.
Please, dear, escϊchame.
Do not be pessimistic, for your sake, for ours!
It is not all lost.
Somewhere,
there must be someone who can help us.
THE CASE HALE CONMOCIONA TO THE NATION
FIRST THE PREJUDICES
THE NORTH PRESS WANTS FACTS
MORE PEOPLE IN THE HALE CASE
FIRST THE PREJUDICES
FAMOUS DETECTIVE OF NEW YORK
GO TO INVESTIGATE
Hello Andy. It's your dear Brock.
Do not you know the novelty? The war has begun!
I returned the civil war!
The Northern press accuses us of prejudice.
What do we do? We accuse them of the same.
It will be a great event, will not it?
And to you, it will be great!
Send Pindar to investigate the case.
Sv, the famous detective Pindar,
able to find a needle in a haystack.
If you have something to hide, skim it quickly.
I do not have anything to hide! Not Pindar or anyone!
Asv that comes Pindar.
You'll see, that Pindar!
The only thing that will see is that we are cooperative.
You will be able to see and talk to whoever you want!
With the doorman, too?
With the goalkeeper, too.
You've already oved it! I do not have anything to hide.
- Mrs. Hale? - Sv.
Pending?
Sv, it's me.
The detective that those of the North keep.
Sv, why?
We just want to see it. It does not bother you, is it?
Come on, Mrs.
- We follow him? - Let him sniff a little.
It does not matter what you discover!
We already know how this will end!
- Ahv est, Mr. Buxton. - Thank you.
Above!
Good dvas, Tump.
This is Colonel Foster, your lawyer.
ΏAbogado?
I do not have money to pay him!
I'll pay, Tump.
You've been working for me for a long time,
and I always help the people who work with me.
I do not know why I need a lawyer.
I did not do anything!
Nobody accuses you! But you can do it.
- Who? - The detective of the North.
- What do you want? - Release Hale.
- They can accuse you. - I did not do anything!
The North are smart. Be careful what you say.
I'll tell him the same thing I said to Mr. Griffin.
With Griffin, there's no problem.
He and we believe you innocent!
But they do not! They will want to indict you.
We must improve your version of the facts.
- If you do not want to be electrocuted. - ΏElectrocuted?
Find out more things! They will blame you!
The judge will say: "Tump Redwine",
I condemn you to die in the electric chair."
no, not that!
I have nothing to do!
If they release Hale, people will not want to wait.
They will catch you, even if you run fast or hide.
That's worse!
I did nothing! I do not want to die!
I do not want to die! I'm scared!
You do not have to be afraid.
No, if you listen to me well.
The question is...
I have found that the tests are irrelevant.
Any court will reject them.
- Will I be an exception? - I do not know.
It has to all the public opinion against.
That influences the jury. Did you get a lawyer?
The court appointed me one.
- How is it? - I do not seem excited.
I get it.
Do not worry. I'll get you a good one.
And in the meantime?
Nothing. Do not contradict anyone.
Watch every word and every move you make.
It is not easy. Sometimes, when they bother me,
I want to...
I know, but test yourself.
It is now when they are prosecuting him.
Good,
care for me, step by step.
When leaving the institute,
He went to the barber.
Ready, sir.
He shaved me beautifully.
- Good barber. - I have to be.
- It's been many years. - The store is yours?
For 25 years. Mva and my wife.
She attends the beauty salon.
There must be many clients with this judgment.
For mv it is the same. I already have my clientele.
Sometimes someone new comes, like you, but it's weird.
We do not see many strangers. 35 cents.
- Aquv has. - Thank you.
And when he sees an outsider, he remembers it.
I never forget anything. Names or faces!
Everyone will tell you that Jim Timberlake never forgets.
Why do you ask?
To talk.
Strange way to engage in conversation.
- Who are you? - It's Pindar.
The detective of the North. Here is your picture.
- Do you think you're very smart? - Do not.
- I just want to know the truth. - I already told the prosecutor.
- I'm not sure. - Long from here!
He said he did not remember...
whether he shaved or not to Hale the dva of the parade.
And he just told me he never forgets!
- Is he calling me a liar? - No, nothing like that.
But maybe you forgot to remember!
Out of here!
Just a moment.
It is not easy to be involved in a crime,
but know that your testimony can condemn a man,
Maybe he's innocent.
- Tell the truth. - I said the truth!
Go and do not come back!
Voucher.
Do you know where the Clay family lives?
I'll tell you, since nobody does it.
Follow the vvas of the railway and turn right.
The second house passing the factory.
THE DETECTIVE PINDAR IS HIT
THE NORTH ACCUSES VANDALISM
THE SOUTH REJECTS NORTH INTERFERENCE
THE PREJUDICES CONTINUE FIRST
MICHAEL GLEASON WILL DEFEND HALE
THE PREJUDICES CONTINUE FIRST
MICHAEL GLEASON GOES TO JUDGMENT
MOTHER OF HALE GOES TO JUDGMENT
If you find the one who aporreσ To Pindar, thank him.
Just what we needed to close the case!
The atmosphere is heating up.
Everyone comes to the trial.
Do you know why?
Because a new star will enter the scene.
Michael Gleason!
He comes to defend Hale. It will arrive tomorrow.
A crowd will meet you at the station!
Me, in your place, facing Gleason,
go home to review my law books.
Have not you slept at all?
It's the second night that he does not sleep.
I could not. You should see a doctor.
Flodden! Flodden!
We are approaching Flodden!
Down here?
- Will it stay long? - I do not know.
Do not miss the trial.
It will be exciting. I will not miss it.
They say it will be the judgment of the century.
Where will you stay? I'll go look for it.
Thank you, but I will be with my daughter-in-law.
What a coincidence! Me too.
I can not stand my daughter-in-law,
but I was not going to miss such an event.
We have arrived in Flodden!
- Mamα! - Sybil, dear!
We have talked a lot. We have become great friends.
I told him he should take advantage and go to trial.
There is no doubt that Hale is guilty and will be executed.
Please no!
Please! It's Hale's mother.
How could I know?
Come on, dear.
Aquv play hard.
That's nothing. Already see within a few dvas.
What happened at the station reflects what happens in the city.
We have to put an end to it.
I'm not interested in people's bad mood,
but my duty to her. There has been a crime.
People expect justice to be done.
We only point out that his duty does not mean...
that instigates people. They are boiling.
We do not want disturbances.
We are sitting on a barrel of pσlvora.
What can I do?
Make sure he is guilty.
I swear by my reputation that he is guilty.
My honor is not enough?
That is not relevant.
We are worried about what will happen to this city.
Do they refer to their properties?
Well, I'll tell you frankly what I think.
They should have thought about that,
before your newspapers published those headlines.
Before knowing if Hale was guilty or not.
You, Mr. Wimple, the great banker, the public opinion creator,
have thought better before declaring...
that in his opinion, Hale was guilty.
And you too, Mr. Piggot, the great marshal of the city.
Before saying that if I do not solve the case,
you will find the man who did it.
I am that man, I have solved it.
They should have thought about that, but they did not.
Now they are afraid. It's great for you.
But to mv, no.
You started this, but I'll finish it!
At 9 o'clock, I would process Hale for the murder of Mary Clay.
And nothing and nobody can stop me!
His setrorva.
Members of the jury.
In my capacity as district attorney,
I affirm that it is not about prejudice or persecution.
The accused is innocent until convicted.
The fact that it is under arrest,
or that he has been accused by a grand jury,
It should not influence.
He still has the right, like any person, to be considered innocent,
until you,
They are sure of their guilt beyond all doubt.
What does it mean... "beyond all doubt"?
It is not about the doubt that one will give to a friend.
The truth is not always deduced from an absolute certainty.
For a certainty resulting from tests,
direct or circumstantial,
It will be enough to condemn him.
I will explain what is a circumstantial test.
The difference between direct and circumstantial is this.
In direct evidence, the witness testifies to what he saw,
and you, as a jury, draw their own conclusions.
Remember that the law stipulates that both tests work.
For example,
They accuse a man of murder and a witness says:
"I saw him kill her." That is a direct proof.
But another one only saw the shadows of the murder,
I heard a scream or a shot, and then steps,
and it witnesses what he saw and heard.
That is a circumstantial test.
Consider now,
the crime that the State wants to clarify.
That crime, or rather, that alleged crime,
It was on April 26 of this year, dva that, as you know,
It is commemorative.
Eyewitnesses will prove to us...
that Mary Clay went to the institute that day.
We will prove...
that after the class was canceled, she and her friend,
Imogene Mayfield, went to a bar,
on Main Street.
At a quarter to two, he returned to the institute,
to find your vanity case An eyewitness...
Professor Buxton,
he saw her enter. Another witness,
a friend, Joe Turner,
He went to see if he was there.
Redwine and the defendant told him no one should be there,
that Mary Clay was not there.
That was a lie!
Because, in reality, she was in high school.
Sv! Mary Clay has already been murdered!
The State asserts that nobody saw Mary Clay leave alive!
And that dva, when she came back to the desert institute,
He was waiting for her to kill her!
My son, no! Lmposible!
It's a defense trick to win the jury.
The objection to the accusation is absurd.
They have rehearsed it. Cheap, disloyal tactics!
You must go, mamα.
You have to see them ahv, in front of the jury.
Lying, looking for compassion.
I suffer enough at home.
What good is it that these strangers see me suffer?
He must help punish the man who killed his daughter.
Mr. Griffin will send you a car.
You must go, mamα! You must do it!
Miss Mayfield, this morning...
He declared that Mary Clay was crazy about Hale.
What does it mean?
What it means is...
that he liked it!
I get it. He liked.
Did you see the defendant courting Mary Clay?
Did you hear the accused piropear her?
In short, he never saw them together.
He never saw them talking.
And he testified that they were crazy for each other.
That is all!
His setrorva.
Can I ask the witness one more question?
Proceed.
Remember how Mary Clay was dressed that dva?
Did he carry this?
I protest! That type of detail influences the jury.
I present this garment as proof B.
An explosive headline! Mother against mother!
I will break my heart to everyone!
Griffin showed the clothes and a scream was heard.
It was Mrs. Clay! But another mother screamed too.
It's not about Gleason against Griffin,
but of one mother against another and of a life.
ΏCuαl serα the decisive testimony?
The one with Carlisle Buxton?
Continue, Mr. Buxton.
Good,
He was alone in his office and it was almost one o'clock.
- What are you doing? - He said he rangva exams.
It's what Robert said.
I told him to have the afternoon off.
I remember that we had a slight dispute,
about the memorial dva. I thought that as I came from the North,
It's good to see the parade.
Nothing did that cabrón good!
I protest! That statement is totally irrelevant.
They are prejudices with which the prosecutor tries to solve the case.
Given the excessive fuss,
the session is suspended until two o'clock.
Sv, sir.
When I arrested him, he trembled like a leaf.
Especially when they brought his bloodstained jacket.
That's it, Mr. Laneart. Thank you.
Your turn, Mr. Gleason.
In his police career, Mr. Laneart,
Did you ever stop a man who did not get nervous?
Clear.
Criminals are usually calm when arrested.
So the criminals do not get nervous. But an innocent...
I protest, your love!
Continue.
That is all.
"That's it," Mr. Gleason said to Mr. Laneart.
But Mr. Laneart said everything he had to say.
Matalla Gleason will face to the great witness of the accusation.
Joe Turner, Mary Clay's boyfriend. Joe E. Turner!
Hale said: "It's closed. Nobody is left."
But I did not like his look.
Then, I wanted to go in to check it.
But he did not let me. He interposed.
He said if it happened, it would make me arrest.
He did not want to have problems with the police.
Asv I went to play pool.
According to your original testimony, Mr. Turner,
Hale told him it was closed, and you left.
Why did not the rest count?
I thought it did not matter.
- And now, sv? - Now, sv!
Why?
Because in the meantime, you decided that Hale was guilty.
I protest!
Objection accepted!
Agree.
Let's go back to your relationships with Mary Clay.
He said he had been her boyfriend for 4 years.
In all that time, he said he had never kissed her.
I would have kissed her once or twice. Goodbye kisses.
Is it prohibited?
Answer Did you notice Mary Clay?
Well sv! And what?
Then, before I minted.
No mentv! I am not a liar! I forgot.
He has forgotten...
Maybe he has forgotten other things.
I protest!
Your relationship with Mary Clay has nothing to do with it!
They have a lot to see. He said he was her boyfriend.
He said he had lied and that he had forgotten.
Listen, I answered your question.
What is between us is not your business.
Bravo, Joe! Bravo!
Another disturbance of this kind and I will evict the room.
Continue.
Seeing Hale in my office, he said he had never seen him.
Now he says he went to the barber,
Between 2 and 3 o'clock of the crime date,
Why did he change his mind?
First, I did not recognize it!
After thinking about that and seeing your photos in the newspaper,
- I remembered! - I get it.
How long does it take to cut the hair and shave?
Half an hour.
Can you tell me if the defendant did better at 2 or 3?
I do not know.
The barberva is mva, I'm not anxious to leave.
If he arrived at 2, he left at 2:30.
How is the barber of the institute?
10 minutes on foot.
One more question, Mr. Timberlake.
Cortito a Hale when he shaved him?
ΏSv or not?
No, I did not cut it!

Tump.
He said he had seen Hale twice, when everyone left.
First only, in the classroom, at about one o'clock.
Then, around 3 o'clock, when he was leaving.
Try to remember.
Are you sure you have not seen it between 1 and 3?
I protest! Inductive question!
- Objection accepted. - I'll say it in another way.
Ask the jury,
in his own words,
what he saw and heard...
between 1 and 3 in the afternoon of the crime.
As I said, I saw him alone in the classroom.
So, I went to the basement.
I stayed asleep for a while.
Sonσ the bell,
and I took the elevator to the third floor.
Allv was Mr. Hale and he told me that...
Lie! I did not see him or speak to him!
Lie intentionally!
Control the defendant's starts.
Go ahead, Mr. Griffin.
Continue, Tump. What did he tell him?
I do not remember exactly.
He asked me something about a noise.
I do not remember. I do not remember!
What aspect did he have?
Parecva... I seemed to be nervous.
I will kill him! Matσ my sister!
I will evict those who do not respect this court.
Continue.
Continue, Tump. Who else saw?
I can not continue.
Follow, Tump.
I tell him I can not.
I do not remember. Everything that is...
He saw it in the building,
I asked him something and he seemed nervous. That is all.
Just a moment! Thats not all.
- Why did not he say it before? - It's scary!
He is also afraid now, is not he?
- No? - Sv.
I'm scared!
- From what? - Well...
I'm a black man I do not know what I say.
- Not for what I fear. - Well, I sv!
She is afraid that they know that she was the only person in the building!
It was not me, it was not me!
- I was sleeping! - All the time?
All the time!
Then, he did not hear the bell, and he did not see Hale.
I talked! ΏSv or not?
Answer, Tump.
He has been speechless.
Let's see, answer this.
If what you say is true,
It will be you who condemns Robert Hale to die!
Can you leave this room knowing this?
No I can not!
I will not do it!
I do not care what they do to me!
I will not do it!
What I said before was very confusing and does not count.
I will not let a man die because of me.
I do not know what happened in high school.
I was sleeping. I saw no one.
I did not hear anything.
The only thing that I know is that I did not go
I did not go.
I did not go! I did not go!
And the black was retracted of his testimony.
But nobody believes in that! If he retreated, it was because of fear,
and I think the jury believed the first testimony.
It was the most exciting dva of the trial.
Penalty for the absent.
The outcome is announced very bad for Hale.
Maρana prestaα your last statement.
Before God, I would tell the true story,
the whole story.
I do not know anything about what happened in the institute between 1 and 3.
Not even Mary Clay's death.
I will not talk much. They want this to end soon,
and me too. Either way!
Before they pronounce their verdict,
If they have not done it yet,
I want to point out that the question here,
is whether or not I am guilty of Mary Clay's death.
And not if the North hates the South, or the South the North!
Poor imbecile! He has dug his own grave!
Mr. Gleason, proceed with your final plea.
Members of the jury,
For the first time in my career I have a client,
that summed up the case better than me.
It went directly to the center of the question.
He was brave,
his valentva does not match the cowardly murderer...
who says it's the accusation.
It was not about establishing your innocence or guilt.
The tests were not enough!
Tests!
Since when are the tests consisting of rumors?
And the witnesses presented against Hale?
ΏWhen the word of witnesses is accepted...
What could be the culprits of the crime?
Sv, each of them could be guilty!
Sectors,
we all know who are the witnesses against Hale.
The only tests...
They constituted the force of the accusation!
These witnesses are present where injustice reigns.
And their names are hate,
fear,
and prejudice.
What happens?
Gleason just finished.
He made a very long plea. He must be tired.
How would you feel if you spoke to a wall?
Allv is Griffin!
Wave your arms! Shouts!
Andy sv who will race in polvtica!
It is not the first time that someone talks about prejudices.
But in general, it is about the accused of atrocious crimes.
Prejudice!
Many North Americans live in our city.
In peace, calm, happy.
Do they talk about prejudices? No, because they do not hide anything.
Because they are free and honest.
And they know that while they are asv, they will not have problems.
But when a man comes and commits such a mean crime,
and unimaginable It is the first...
in talking about the hate of the North for the South and vice versa!
Sectors.
I, who love the South, respect, like everyone, the North.
But I do not admire everything that the North produces.
Nor do I admire everything that the South produces.
It says that all the witnesses could be guilty!
Sectors.
We do not need those witnesses to condemn him!
This is the proof that condemns you and you know it!
Well, I tell you, ladies,
fulfill their duty to society,
humanity, justice, family of that girl.
Consider the case, remembering that they swore to be impartial.
And they will reach the only possible verdict.
"The members of the jury declared Robert Hale...
Guilty, guilty!"
Do you hear me?
Nothing. The jury has not returned.
Let's keep talking, asv we'll try the lvnea.
It did not surprise me that they cut it.
All controlled. Dinny is in the other window.
It is impossible to lose him unless he is pushed.
Do not you want me to take a picture from here?
There are thousands of people and it is burning!
But what is incredible is that they are silent!
VOTE GUILTY IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO DIE
If you do not want to die!
No one is going to scare me!
- Where was he? - In my pocket.
I'm going to vote whatever you want!
Are you going to be the only one to disagree?
I will be the only one to vote what I want.
And not because... You will not dare!
Enough already!
Listen, son.
The important thing is not the case in sv itself,
but what people will say about you.
The bravest is not what you think,
but tell yourself, without considering the warning:
"I'm brave because I decide this before mv and before God."
"Because I will vote guilty,"
since someone murdered to that poor girl...
and everything indicates that it was Hale...
If you vote innocent, I assure you...
that nobody will say that you have more courage...
than the rest of us.
They're coming out, Jeff! They're coming out!
The police force drives people back.
They asked for reinforcements and there is an atmosphere...
You must see the people! Not a word!
This will explode anytime!
I assure you that they give me chills.
Allα van!
To the courthouse! Soon everything will be over!
Members of the jury, have they reached a verdict?
Sv, your setrorva.
The jury finds the defendant guilty of murder.
They have already condemned him! What else do you want?
HALE SENTENCED TO DIE ON OCTOBER 3
THE SUPREME COURT REJECTS APPEAL
THE LUCK OF HALE IN THE GOVERNOR'S HANDS
The governor takes time to decide.
If he helps, he will see them with us.
Be careful, there are soldiers.
Better that they take care of us!
Go show.
Once I told you that the applause...
They could become boos.
It has reason.
Do you know what they expect?
Let the decision you make be fair.
Nothing of that.
They expect me to do what Griffin did.
Condemn Hale to die.
And if you do not?
Finish my career and start Griffin's.
Do you think he's guilty?
Telegrams have arrived from all over the pavs,
of people of all conditions,
who asks me to commute his sentence...
until your innocence is proven.
- It's a fair trial. - You have not answered me.
The Supreme Court said it was not unfair.
And what do you say?
That the Supreme Court had partial information.
They did not witness the trial.
If they had witnessed it, they would surely think like me.
That there was a lack of evidence to condemn him to death.
That if a man deserves to be tried again,
That man is Hale.
Do you know, Thomas?
I'm a little tired of public life.
ΪTϊ, no?
Wilson!
Tell the press to come.
I'm going to make a statement.
What did he say?
He commuted Hale's sentence to life imprisonment!
- Guys, let's go! - We're not staying?
No, we have something else to do.
Does it fail a lot?
Let's see.
We must be about 30 miles from the state prison.
We will arrive in an hour.
One more hour...
Why did they get me out of the other prison?
Why did not I see my family?
Cαlmate, Hale.
Good! Answer!
Ten,
smoke a cigarette It will do you good.
Open that door.
Come down, Hale!
We have been waiting for you for a long time.
Come on, Hale!
No one is going to commute your sentence now.
Come on, Hale!
Give me a chance!
A work of art, Andy.
Above all, that cefo.
Only the great men frown the ceo.
Napoleon frowns on the cemetery.
Enough of ridicule.
Do you think I can win?
With me and with my newspaper, and with the Hale case,
consider yourself senator.
Mrs. Hale.
What happens?
Ahead.
Lucky you both are here.
I received a check from you. Why?
I heard that he was leaving and needed money.
- It is true. - It is not true.
He thought that he would have a clear conscience.
Why did not you send me another one?
I will not forgive you for so little!
I'm sorry about what happened.
But you can not blame me for what people did.
My duty was to do what I did.
- It is true. - Like you!
I am a journalist and I write how I understand it.
How he fulfills his duty.
Try to understand.
The only thing I understand is that they killed my husband.
They will not go unpunished!
I will condemn those responsible!
You are the only responsible!
They at least have a reason.
They loved the girl! They want revenge,
How I want to do it now!
But let them live,
to remind you that it was you who killed him.
They filled the South with prejudice as Gleason filled the North.
Only for ambition! For a good article!
But everything did not end with his death.
What they did never ends,
and will accompany them all their lives even if they want to forget it,
even if they succeed and reach far,
or become millionaires.
In the depths of their souls they know that it is true!
Andy, some things he said...
Nothing.
Now that everything is over,
I wonder if Hale killed her.
Me too.
