1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,759
Speaker 1: The deposition by Luigi Cabuana. I know nothing at all

2
00:00:05,799 --> 00:00:09,279
about it, your Honor, nothing at all. How can that be?

3
00:00:09,359 --> 00:00:12,960
It all happened within fifty yards of your shop, Nothing

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,919
at all, I said, in an offhand way, but really

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,679
next to nothing. I'm a barber, your honor, and Heaven

6
00:00:19,719 --> 00:00:22,280
be praised. I have custom enough to keep me busy

7
00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:25,399
from morning till night. There are three of us in

8
00:00:25,399 --> 00:00:28,480
the shop, and what with shaving and combing and hair cutting,

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:30,920
not one of the three of us has time to

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,600
stop and scratch his head. And I, least of all.

11
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:37,000
Many of my customers are so kind as to prefer

12
00:00:37,119 --> 00:00:40,960
my services to those of my two young men, perhaps

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,960
because I amuse them with my little jokes. And what

14
00:00:44,119 --> 00:00:47,039
with lathering and shaving this face and that, combing the

15
00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:49,880
hair of so many heads, how does your honor expect

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,159
me to pay attention to other people's affairs? And the

17
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,479
morning I read about it in the paper, why I

18
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,320
stood there with my mouth open, and I said, well,

19
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:01,359
that was the way it was bound to And why

20
00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:03,640
did you say that was the way it was bound

21
00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:08,599
to end? Why? Because it had ended that way? You see,

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,680
on the instant I called to mind the ugly face

23
00:01:12,719 --> 00:01:16,480
of the husband every time I saw him pass up

24
00:01:16,519 --> 00:01:19,799
or down the street. One of those impressions that no

25
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,120
one can account for. I used to think that fellow

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,840
has the face of a convict, But of course that

27
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,200
proves nothing. There are plenty who have the bad luck

28
00:01:31,239 --> 00:01:34,959
to be uglier than mortal sin, but very worthy people

29
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,239
all the same. But in this case I didn't think

30
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,400
that I was mistaken. But you were friends. He used

31
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,480
to come very often and sit down at the entrance

32
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,120
to your barber shop, very often, only once in a while,

33
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:50,959
Your honor, by your leave neighbor, he would say. He

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,040
always called me neighbor. That was his name for everybody.

35
00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:59,239
And I would say, why, certainly the chair stood there empty.

36
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:03,359
Your Honor understands that I could hardly be so uncivil

37
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,159
as to say to him, no, you can't sit down.

38
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,280
A barber shop is a public place, like a cafe

39
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,960
or a beer saloon. At all events, one may sit

40
00:02:14,039 --> 00:02:16,719
down without paying for it, and no need to have

41
00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:20,639
a shave or hair cut either, by your leave, neighbor.

42
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,439
And there he would sit in silence, smoking and scowling,

43
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,759
with his eyes half shut. He would loaf there for

44
00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:32,800
half an hour an hour, sometimes longer, he annoyed me.

45
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:36,120
I don't deny it. From the very start there was

46
00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:39,759
a good deal o talk? What sort of talk? A

47
00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:42,840
good deal o talk? Your honor knows better than I

48
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:48,000
how evil minded people are. I make it a practice

49
00:02:48,039 --> 00:02:50,680
not to believe a syllable of what I'm told bout

50
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,439
any one, good or evil. That is the way to

51
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,879
keep out of trouble. Come, Come, what sort of talk?

52
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,879
Keep to the point, what sort of talk? Why? One

53
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,840
day they would say this, and the next day they

54
00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:07,199
would say that, And by harping on it long enough,

55
00:03:07,719 --> 00:03:11,680
they made themselves believe that the wife, Well, your honor

56
00:03:11,759 --> 00:03:14,919
knows that a pretty wife is a chastisement of God.

57
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,280
And after all, there are some things you can't help

58
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,319
seeing unless you won't see. Then it was he, the husband.

59
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,159
I don't know nothing about it, your honor, nothing at all.

60
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:29,400
But it is quite true that every time he came

61
00:03:29,479 --> 00:03:32,360
and sat down by my doorway or inside the shop,

62
00:03:33,039 --> 00:03:36,479
I used to say to myself, if that man can't see,

63
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,439
he certainly must be blind. And if he won't see,

64
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:44,800
he certainly must be Your honor knows what I mean.

65
00:03:46,199 --> 00:03:49,080
There was certainly no getting out of that out of that,

66
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,439
Perhaps your honor can help me to the right word dilemma, dilemma, Yes,

67
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,800
your honor, and baisy, the notary who comes to me

68
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:02,319
to be shaved uses another word that just fits the case,

69
00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:07,159
begging your honest pardon. Then, according to you this don necosia. Oh,

70
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,520
I won't put my finger in the pie. Let him

71
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,800
answer for himself. Everyone has a conscience of his own,

72
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,279
and Jesus Christ has said, judge not lest you be

73
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,399
judged well. One morning, or was it in the evening,

74
00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:28,680
I don't exactly remember. Yes, now comes back to me

75
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:31,920
that it was in the morning. I saw him pass by,

76
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,160
scowling and with his head bent down. I was in

77
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,319
my doorway sharpening a razor. I had a curiosity. I

78
00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:44,040
gave him a passing word as well as a nod,

79
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,839
adding a gesture that was as good as a question.

80
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,519
He came up to me, looked me straight in the face,

81
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,560
and answered, haven't I told you that sooner or later

82
00:04:55,639 --> 00:05:00,360
I should do something crazy and I shall neighbor? Yes,

83
00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:05,439
I shall. They are dragging me by the hair, let

84
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,000
me cut it off. Then I answered, jokingly, jamake him

85
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,920
forget himself. So he had told you before had he

86
00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:15,600
How did he happen to tell you before? Oh, your

87
00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:18,160
honor knows how woods slip out of the mouth at

88
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,879
certain moments. Who pays attention to him? For my part,

89
00:05:22,959 --> 00:05:26,000
I have too many other things in my head. Come, come,

90
00:05:26,879 --> 00:05:29,279
What had he been talking about when he told you before?

91
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,560
Great Heavens, give me time to think, your Honor, What

92
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,240
had he been talking about? Why about his wife? Of course?

93
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,319
Who knows someone wants to put a flea in his ear?

94
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,040
It only needs half a word to ruin a poor

95
00:05:44,079 --> 00:05:47,680
devil's peace of mind. And that is how man lets

96
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,240
such woods slip out of his mouth. As sooner or later,

97
00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:57,240
I shall do something crazy. That's all I know nothing

98
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,480
else about it, Your Honor. And the only answer you

99
00:05:59,519 --> 00:06:02,600
made him was a joke. I could not say to him,

100
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,519
go ahead and do it? Could I? As it was,

101
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,040
he went off shaking his head. And what idea he

102
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,319
kept brooding over after that? Who knows? One can't see

103
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,240
inside another man's brain. But sometimes when I heard him

104
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,120
free in his mind, then he used to free his

105
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:27,199
mind to you? Why, yes, to me and maybe to others. Besides,

106
00:06:28,079 --> 00:06:32,160
you see, one bears things and bearest things, and bearest

107
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,439
things and at last, rather than burst with them, one

108
00:06:36,519 --> 00:06:39,279
frees one's mind of the first man who comes along.

109
00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:41,920
But you were not the first man who came along.

110
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,920
You used to call at his house only as a barber,

111
00:06:45,959 --> 00:06:49,879
your honor, only when Don Necossio used to send for me,

112
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,040
And very often I'd get there too late, though I

113
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,600
tried my best, And very likely you sometimes went there

114
00:06:57,639 --> 00:07:00,439
when you knew that he was not at home on purpose,

115
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,639
your honor, no, never, And when you found his wife alone,

116
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,319
you allowed yourself calumnies, Your honor, Who dare say such

117
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,399
a thing? Does she say? So? It may be that

118
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,759
once or twice a few words escaped me in jest.

119
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,279
You know how it is when I found myself face

120
00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:24,639
to face with a pretty woman. You know how it is,

121
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:28,360
if only not to cut a foolish figure. But it

122
00:07:28,399 --> 00:07:31,639
was very far from a joke. You ended by threatening her.

123
00:07:31,879 --> 00:07:36,839
What calumnies threaten her? What for a woman of her

124
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,959
stamp don't need to be threatened. I would never stoop

125
00:07:41,079 --> 00:07:45,639
so low. I'm no schoolboy. Passion leads men into all

126
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,240
sorts of folly. That woman is capable of anything. She

127
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:55,160
would slander our Lord himself to his face. Passion I

128
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,120
at my age. I'm well on in the forties, your honor,

129
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,360
and many a gray hair. Besides, many a folly I

130
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:08,319
committed in my youth like everyone else. But now, besides,

131
00:08:08,399 --> 00:08:11,600
with a woman like that, I was no blind man,

132
00:08:12,439 --> 00:08:16,959
even if Donn Cassio was. I knew that that young fellow,

133
00:08:17,319 --> 00:08:21,160
poor fool, he paid dearly for her. I knew that

134
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:24,319
he had turned her head. That's away. With some women,

135
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,120
they go their own gate. They're off with one and

136
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,439
on with another, and then they end by becoming the

137
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,399
slave of some scallywag who robs and abuses him. He

138
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:38,360
used to beat her, your honor, many and many a time,

139
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,279
Your honor, and I for the sake of the poor

140
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,799
husband whom I pitied. Yes, that's why she says I

141
00:08:44,879 --> 00:08:48,559
threatened her. She says so, because I was foolish enough

142
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,279
to go and give her a talking to the day

143
00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:55,519
that don Cassio said to me, I shall do something crazy.

144
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,480
She knew what I meant, at least she pretended that

145
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,720
she did. No, this is what you say, Yes, Johanna,

146
00:09:02,799 --> 00:09:06,840
I remember now exactly what I said. I'll spoil your sport,

147
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,840
I told her, if it sends me to the galleys.

148
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,080
But I was speaking in the name of the husband.

149
00:09:13,759 --> 00:09:16,519
In the heat of the moment one falls into a pot.

150
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,519
The husband knew nothing of all. This was I to

151
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,440
boast to him of what I had done. A friend

152
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,200
either gives his services or else he doesn't. That's how

153
00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:28,960
I understand it. Why were you so much concerned about it?

154
00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:31,879
I ought not to have been your honor. I have

155
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,639
too soft a heart. Your threats became troublesome, and not

156
00:09:35,759 --> 00:09:40,000
threats alone, but promise after promise, and gifts besides a

157
00:09:40,159 --> 00:09:42,320
ring and a pair of ear rings. That is true.

158
00:09:42,399 --> 00:09:44,919
I won't deny it. I found them in my pocket

159
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:50,279
quite by chance. They belonged to my wife. It wasn't extravagance,

160
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,600
but I did it to keep poor don Nicasio from

161
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,200
doing something crazy. If I could only win my point,

162
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:00,039
I told myself, if I could only get that that

163
00:10:00,159 --> 00:10:02,960
young fellow out of the way, then it would be

164
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,080
time enough to say to Donn Cassio, my friend, give

165
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,200
me back my ring and ear rings. He would not

166
00:10:10,279 --> 00:10:13,960
have needed to be told twice. He's an honorable man,

167
00:10:14,039 --> 00:10:17,559
don Ne Cassio. But when she answered, you keep them yourself,

168
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,120
I don't want them. You began to beg her, almost

169
00:10:21,159 --> 00:10:24,960
in tears. Ah, your hona, since you must be told,

170
00:10:25,919 --> 00:10:29,519
I don't know how I managed to control myself. I

171
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,759
had so completely put myself in the place of the husband.

172
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,759
I could have strangled her with my own hands. I

173
00:10:36,799 --> 00:10:40,960
could have done that very same crazy thing that Donn

174
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,200
Cassio thought of doing. Yet you were very prudent. That

175
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,879
is evident. You said to yourself, if not for me,

176
00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:51,399
then not for him the lover I mean not don

177
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,600
N Cassio. Then you began to work upon the husband,

178
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,080
who up to that time had let things slide, either

179
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,519
because he did not believe or because he preferred to

180
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,399
bear the lesser evil. It may be that some chance

181
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,679
word escaped me. There are times when a man of

182
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,600
honor loses his head. But beyond that nothing, your Hona,

183
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,240
don Nicassio himself will bear me witness. But don Nicassio

184
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:20,559
says he too, he has failed me. He has turned

185
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,279
against me a fine way to show his gratitude. He

186
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,039
has nothing to be grateful for. Don't excite yourself. Sit

187
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,519
down again. You began by protesting that you knew nothing

188
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:34,639
at all about it, and yet you knew so many things.

189
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,960
You must know quite a number more. Don't excite yourself.

190
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,840
You want to drag me over a precipice, Your Hona,

191
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,519
I begin to understand men who are blinded by passion

192
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,279
walk over precipices on their own feet. But then your

193
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,720
honor imagines that I myself, I imagine nothing. It is

194
00:11:53,759 --> 00:11:56,960
evident that you were the instigator, and something more than

195
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,960
the instigator too. County, County, your Hona, that same evil

196
00:12:00,279 --> 00:12:02,919
you were seen talking with the husband until quite late.

197
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,840
I was trying to persuade him not to I said

198
00:12:06,879 --> 00:12:10,679
to him, let things alone, since it's your misfortune to

199
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,600
have it. So what difference does it make whether he's

200
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:19,799
the one or somebody else? And he kept repeating somebody else, yes,

201
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,080
but not that rotten beast his very words, Your Honna,

202
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,559
you stood at the corner of the adjoining street, lying

203
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,200
in wait. Who saw me there? Who saw us? Your Honor,

204
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,759
you were seen. Come make up your mind to tell

205
00:12:33,759 --> 00:12:36,639
all you know. It will be better for you. The

206
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,200
woman testifies that there were two of them, but in

207
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,840
the dark she could not recognize the other one. Just

208
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,519
because I wanted to do a kind act, this is

209
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,919
what I have brought on myself by trying to do

210
00:12:48,039 --> 00:12:51,679
a kind act. You stood at the street corner. It

211
00:12:51,759 --> 00:12:54,679
was like this, your honor. I had gone with him

212
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,440
as far as that, but when I saw it was

213
00:12:57,519 --> 00:13:00,960
no use to try to stop him. It was striking eleven.

214
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:06,000
The streets were deserted. I started to leave him indignantly,

215
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,679
without a parting word. Well, what next do I need

216
00:13:10,759 --> 00:13:15,600
tongs to drag the words out of your mouth? What next? Why?

217
00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:18,519
Your honor knows how it is at night under the

218
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,279
lamp light? You see, then you don't see, that's the

219
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:28,000
way it is. I turned around. Don Cassio had plunged

220
00:13:28,039 --> 00:13:31,279
through the doorway of his home, just by the entrance

221
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,720
to the little lane, a cry, and then nothing more.

222
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,039
You ran forward. That was quite natural. I hesitated on

223
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,840
the threshold. The hallway was so dark. You couldn't have

224
00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:46,559
done that. The woman would have recognized you by the

225
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,639
light of the street lamp. The lamp is some distance off.

226
00:13:50,919 --> 00:13:53,080
You went in, one after the other. Which of you

227
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,200
shut the door? Because the door was shut immediately In

228
00:13:56,399 --> 00:14:00,559
the confusion of the moment, two men struggling together. I

229
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,360
could hear them gasping. I wanted to call for help,

230
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,639
And then a fall, and then I felt myself seized

231
00:14:09,639 --> 00:14:13,759
by the arm. Run, neighbor, run, this is no business

232
00:14:13,759 --> 00:14:16,639
of yours. It didn't sound like the voice of a

233
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,799
human being. And that was how, that was how I

234
00:14:20,879 --> 00:14:26,039
happened to be there, a helpless witness. I think that

235
00:14:26,159 --> 00:14:29,840
don ne Cassio meant to kill his wife too, But

236
00:14:29,879 --> 00:14:33,879
the wretched woman escaped. She ran and shut herself up

237
00:14:33,919 --> 00:14:38,080
in her room. That is I read so afterwards in

238
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,559
the papers. The husband would have been wiser to have

239
00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:45,720
killed her first. Evil weeds have better to be torn

240
00:14:45,799 --> 00:14:49,679
up by the roots. What are you having that man? Right?

241
00:14:49,759 --> 00:14:53,320
Your honor? Nothing at all, as you call it, just

242
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,399
your deposition. The clerk will read it to you now,

243
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,559
and you will sign it. Can any harm come to

244
00:14:59,679 --> 00:15:04,120
me from? I am innocent? I've only said what you

245
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,679
wanted me to say. You have tangled me up in

246
00:15:07,799 --> 00:15:11,080
a fine net like a little fresh water fish. Wait

247
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,840
a moment, And this is the most important thing of all.

248
00:15:15,639 --> 00:15:17,600
How did it happen that the mortal wounds on the

249
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,360
dead men's body were made with a razor? Oh, the

250
00:15:20,519 --> 00:15:26,440
treachery of don Nicassio. My god, my god, yes, your honor.

251
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,840
Two days before no one can think of everything no

252
00:15:30,879 --> 00:15:34,159
one can foresee everything. He came to the shop and

253
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,240
said to me, neighbor, lend me a razor. I have

254
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,720
a corn that is troubling me. He was so matter

255
00:15:41,799 --> 00:15:44,559
of fact about it that I did not hesitate for

256
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:49,120
an instant. I even warned him, be careful. You can't

257
00:15:49,159 --> 00:15:52,919
joke with corns. A little blood and you may start

258
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,720
a cancer. Don't borrow trouble, neighbor, he answered, But the

259
00:15:56,799 --> 00:16:00,159
razor could not be found. You must have brought it away.

260
00:16:00,519 --> 00:16:04,399
I who would remember a little thing like that. I

261
00:16:04,519 --> 00:16:07,679
was more dead than alive, Your honor, where are you

262
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:11,240
trying to lead me with your questions? I tell you

263
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,000
I am innocent. Do not deny so obstinately. A frank

264
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,480
confession will help you far more than to protest your innocence.

265
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,039
The facts speak clearly enough. It is well known how

266
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,559
passion maddens the heart and the brain. A man in

267
00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:30,000
that state is no longer himself. That is the truth,

268
00:16:30,039 --> 00:16:34,679
your honor. That wretched woman bewitched me. She is sending

269
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,840
me to the galleys. The more she said no, no, no,

270
00:16:39,879 --> 00:16:43,919
the more I felt myself going mad from head to foot,

271
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,639
as if she were pouring fire over me. With her. No, no, no,

272
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,200
but now I do not want another man to suffer

273
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,960
in my place. Yes, I was the one. I was

274
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,120
the one who killed him. I was bewitched, Joe. I

275
00:17:01,159 --> 00:17:03,639
am willing to go to the galleys, but I am

276
00:17:03,679 --> 00:17:06,519
coming back here if I have the good luck to

277
00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:10,440
live through my term. Oh the justice of this world.

278
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,160
To think that she goes scot free, the real and

279
00:17:15,279 --> 00:17:18,880
only cause of all the harm. But I will see

280
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:24,200
that she gets justice. That I solemnly swear with these

281
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,400
two hands of mine your honor. In prison, I shall

282
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,559
think of nothing else. And if I come back and

283
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,839
find her alive, grown old and ugly, it makes no difference.

284
00:17:36,599 --> 00:17:39,920
She will have to pay for it. She will have

285
00:17:40,039 --> 00:17:44,480
to make good. I know, no no, but I will

286
00:17:44,519 --> 00:17:48,920
say yes, yes, yes, And I will drain her last

287
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,680
drop of blood if I have to end my days

288
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,319
in the galleys, and the sooner the better
