Joe Wilson:
Your honor, I am Joseph Wilson.
Court Bailiff:
Keep your seat!
Judge Daniel Hopkins:
Go on.
Joe Wilson:
I know that by coming here, I saved the lives of these 22 people, but that isn't why I'm here. I don't care anything about saving them. They're murderers. I know the law says they're not because I'm still alive, but that's not their fault. And the law doesn't know that a lot of things that were very important to me, silly things maybe, like a belief in justice, and an idea that men were civilized, and a feeling of pride that this country of mine was different from all others. The law doesn't know that those things were burned to death within me that night. I came here today for my own sake. I couldn't stand it anymore. I couldn't stop thinking about them with every step and every breath I took, and I didn't believe Katherine when she said... Katherine is the young lady who was going to marry me. Maybe someday after I've paid for what I did, they'll be a chance to begin again, and then maybe Katherine and I...
Katherine Grant:
Joe.

Your Honor, I am Joseph Wilson.
00:00:05.502 --> 00:00:07.766
Keep your seats!
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:11.269
- Go on.
- I know that by coming here...
00:00:11.441 --> 00:00:14.467
...I saved the lives of these 22 people.
00:00:14.678 --> 00:00:18.808
But that isn't why I'm here. I don't care
anything about saving them.
00:00:19.998 --> 00:00:23.146
They're murderers. I know the law
says they're not because I'm still alive.
00:00:23.032 --> 00:00:24.981
But that's not their fault.
00:00:25.289 --> 00:00:29.623
And the law doesn't know that a lot of
things that were very important to me...
00:00:29.793 --> 00:00:33.285
...silly things, maybe,
like a belief in justice...
00:00:33.463 --> 00:00:36.557
...and an idea that men were civilized...
00:00:37.002 --> 00:00:42.003
...and a feeling of pride that this country
of mine was different from all others.
00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:46.437
The law doesn't know those things were
burned to death within me that night.
00:00:47.998 --> 00:00:49.171
I came here today for my own sake.
00:00:49.379 --> 00:00:51.244
I couldn't stand it anymore.
00:00:51.448 --> 00:00:55.646
I couldn't stop thinking about them,
with every step and every breath I took.
00:00:55.819 --> 00:00:59.997
And I didn't believe Katherine
when she said...
00:01:01.158 --> 00:01:04.992
Katherine is the young lady
who was going to marry me.
00:01:05.001 --> 00:01:08.495
Maybe someday after
I've paid for what I did...
00:01:08.001 --> 00:01:11.532
...there'll be a chance to begin again.
00:01:11.999 --> 00:01:14.002
And then maybe...
00:01:14.571 --> 00:01:17.199
...Katherine and I...
- Joe.
