2
00:00:12,750 --> 00:00:15,487
The announcement in Rho'ha
case is expected momentarily.
3
00:00:16,050 --> 00:00:18,467
This is the alleged murder
that has caused such an uproar
4
00:00:18,468 --> 00:00:20,333
in the Unites States
and around the world.
5
00:00:20,950 --> 00:00:24,730
This scene occurred in a hospital
room of Army Capt. Lucas Johnson.
6
00:00:25,550 --> 00:00:27,947
This is the security camera
footage that apparently shows
7
00:00:27,950 --> 00:00:31,997
Rho'ha, a Taelon scientist,
causing the death of Major MacIntire,
8
00:00:32,250 --> 00:00:33,761
Johnson's commanding officer.
9
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:36,900
Even the most trident
Companion supporters
10
00:00:36,901 --> 00:00:39,735
are demanding that Rho'ha be
tried in human court of law.
11
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:42,688
President Thompson has been
working around the clock
12
00:00:42,701 --> 00:00:45,379
to reach an acceptable
compromise with the Taelon Synod.
13
00:00:45,414 --> 00:00:48,023
Ladies and gentlemen,
the American Companion Da'an
14
00:00:48,058 --> 00:00:50,879
and president of the
United States Mr. Thompson.
15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,090
I speak for the Taelon Synod.
16
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:01,475
We have had lately discussions
with President Thompson.
17
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,243
Rho'ha will stand trial in human court.
18
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,845
What is the charge against Rho'ha?
19
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,453
Rho'ha has been charged with murder.
20
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:27,500
Subtitled by Axarion
21
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,146
Three years ago they came,
22
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:38,818
forever altering the future of humanity.
23
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,684
William Boone's life has been destroyed.
24
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,900
A man caught between two worlds.
25
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:49,671
Assigned protector to the Companions;
26
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:52,444
undercover agent for the Liberation.
27
00:01:54,300 --> 00:01:57,289
An alien implanted
cyber-virus expands his mind.
28
00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:01,858
Controlling a bio-engineered
weapon of unprecedented power.
29
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:05,499
William Boone searches for the truth.
30
00:02:13,550 --> 00:02:14,880
Who will defend Rho'ha?
31
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:19,753
The Companions have appointed Agent
Ronald Sandoval and Cmdr. William Boone
32
00:02:19,754 --> 00:02:22,135
to act as Rho'ha legal representatives.
33
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:23,256
But they're not lawyers.
34
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,426
Agent Sandoval is attorney.
35
00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:27,979
And Cmdr. Boone has been granted
36
00:02:28,435 --> 00:02:31,097
special dispensation by
the state bar of New York
37
00:02:31,132 --> 00:02:33,444
to try this case with Agent Sandoval.
38
00:02:33,479 --> 00:02:35,244
Mr. President, how will Rho'ha plead?
39
00:02:35,550 --> 00:02:36,387
Agent Sandoval?
40
00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:39,187
That determination
has not yet been made.
41
00:02:39,450 --> 00:02:40,691
Who will hear Rho'ha's case?
42
00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:45,103
This is obviously an
unprecedented situation.
43
00:02:45,104 --> 00:02:47,535
With the approval of
Congress I have appointed
44
00:02:47,570 --> 00:02:49,657
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
45
00:02:50,050 --> 00:02:53,143
Evelyn Hill, to preside over
the trial court proceedings.
46
00:02:53,250 --> 00:02:54,707
Mr. President, who will prosecute?
47
00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:56,903
New York District Attorney
48
00:02:57,300 --> 00:02:58,393
Joshua Doors.
49
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,905
Mr. Doors, will you be seeking the
death penalty if Rho'ha is convicted?
50
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:04,848
Absolutely.
51
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:26,462
And in a surprise for President
Thompson announced today
52
00:03:26,497 --> 00:03:29,935
that the prosecutor for the
Rho'ha case will be Joshua Doors,
53
00:03:30,271 --> 00:03:32,557
son of Liberation leader Jonathan Doors.
54
00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:35,367
Age 31, Joshua Doors became the youngest
55
00:03:35,368 --> 00:03:37,826
District Attorney in the
history of New York City.
56
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,333
All right, let's just go over
your testimony one more time here.
57
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:49,625
We've discussed this already.
58
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,161
If something's bothering you, why
don't you just lay it on the table?
59
00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:58,078
The judge threw out the
security camera footage,
60
00:03:58,410 --> 00:03:59,607
because we cannot authenticate it.
61
00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:01,913
Now your testimony is the
key to convicting Rho'ha.
62
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:03,245
Obviously,
63
00:04:03,596 --> 00:04:06,153
the Companions won't be
too favorable upon you for
64
00:04:06,356 --> 00:04:07,903
helping to convict one of their own.
65
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:13,952
Are you suggesting that I might
alter my testimony to help Rho'ha?
66
00:04:14,999 --> 00:04:15,767
Hey!
67
00:04:16,162 --> 00:04:19,600
You raise the issue, at least, have the
guts to follow through with your accusation.
68
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,628
Actually, I'm not suggesting anything.
69
00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:23,869
I'm just asking.
70
00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:26,295
Well.
71
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,270
If you have any doubts whatsoever,
just don't put me on the stand.
72
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:39,083
When did you practice law?
73
00:04:39,180 --> 00:04:39,901
Never.
74
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,710
I joined FBI right
out of the law school.
75
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,899
Then Rho'ha will not
receive a legitimate defense.
76
00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:47,923
What's your point?
77
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,051
You've never practiced law,
78
00:04:51,251 --> 00:04:54,202
I only have a Master in
criminal law. We need help.
79
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,009
The Companions would never trust the
defense of this case to non-implants.
80
00:04:58,050 --> 00:05:00,665
There's too much sensitive
information at stake.
81
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:02,065
That's my point!
82
00:05:02,221 --> 00:05:04,463
Our duty is to our client,
83
00:05:04,498 --> 00:05:05,561
not the Companions.
84
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,657
Our duty is always to the Companions!
85
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,500
Rho'ha will not receive
an adequate defense,
86
00:05:11,550 --> 00:05:13,500
is we are prohibited
from introducing evidence
87
00:05:13,550 --> 00:05:15,012
which could prove his innocence.
88
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,670
I am the lead attorney in this case.
89
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:22,370
Don't forget it.
90
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:36,300
You argued that our refusal to allow
Rho'ha to be tried in a human court
91
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,145
would damage our relations
with the people of Earth.
92
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,966
However, once we agree
to let the trial proceed,
93
00:05:43,101 --> 00:05:45,595
we are obligated to abide by the result.
94
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,237
We cannot risk having Rho'ha
incarcerated in a human prison.
95
00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:53,237
No Taelon has ever been so confined.
96
00:05:53,900 --> 00:05:57,577
It is unclear what Rho'ha might
divulge in such a circumstance.
97
00:05:57,712 --> 00:05:59,681
This discussion is premature.
98
00:05:59,716 --> 00:06:04,460
It was the Synod which called for injecting
Rho'ha with the human gene for aggression.
99
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,133
Rho'ha should not bear the
consequences of this ill-conceived act.
100
00:06:09,375 --> 00:06:13,511
Rho'ha welcomed the opportunity
to participate in this experiment.
101
00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:17,290
He is ready to make whatever
sacrifices necessary.
102
00:06:20,900 --> 00:06:23,403
Our defense will be that
you acted in self-defense,
103
00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:26,172
because Major MacIntire
threatened to kill you.
104
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:31,896
Will the human jury believe that a Taelon
was truly in fear for his life from a human?
105
00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:36,765
It is the only defense
open to us, Rho'ha.
106
00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:38,009
Not necessarily.
107
00:06:38,250 --> 00:06:41,000
If Rho'ha was not in complete
control of his action,
108
00:06:41,075 --> 00:06:42,909
because he was implanted with human DNA,
109
00:06:42,944 --> 00:06:45,169
then we should consider a
plea of temporary insanity,
110
00:06:45,250 --> 00:06:47,147
or a similar diminished
capacity defense.
111
00:06:47,148 --> 00:06:48,013
Impossible!
112
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,909
That is the true
account of what happened.
113
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,791
The only way
114
00:06:52,244 --> 00:06:54,061
we can introduce such a defense
115
00:06:54,500 --> 00:06:57,655
is to admit to the Taelon
experiments in human violence.
116
00:06:59,300 --> 00:07:00,595
But I could never have
117
00:07:01,179 --> 00:07:04,721
committed such a violent act
without being under the influence
118
00:07:04,756 --> 00:07:07,021
of Capt. Johnson's unrestrained rage.
119
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,073
I am truly ashamed for having
caused the death of this human being.
120
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:17,487
I want humanity to understand that.
121
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,581
The Synod will decide the
strategy for this trial.
122
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:23,467
Rho'ha,
123
00:07:24,346 --> 00:07:27,299
we may have to put you on the
witness stand to show your remorse.
124
00:07:27,450 --> 00:07:29,941
And the prosecution's
gonna try and provoke you.
125
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,525
So, are you in complete
control of your actions?
126
00:07:35,900 --> 00:07:38,612
I have undergone extensive procedures
127
00:07:38,813 --> 00:07:41,457
to remove the human DNA from my system.
128
00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:47,647
I believe I can now control my rage.
129
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,697
From every corner of the world people
are descending onto Washington, D.C.
130
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,746
You'd have to go back to
O.J. Simpson trial of 1995
131
00:07:58,847 --> 00:08:02,546
to find a case that has captivated
the entire world as this one has.
132
00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:04,931
Jonathan, why have you never
told me that you had a son?
133
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,184
Too busy building an empire to
concentrate on being a father?
134
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:13,945
I'm certainly not proud of it.
135
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:17,309
How does he feel about the Companions?
136
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,033
He's supportive or, at least, he
was the last time we've spoken.
137
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,530
Then why to take on a case
where he's prosecuting a Taelon?
138
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,831
You should've let me bring you in from
the back. I can't protect you here.
139
00:08:52,950 --> 00:08:54,346
How many years have you
been telling me that?
140
00:08:54,571 --> 00:08:57,193
Does the defense have a
problem with the jury selection?
141
00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:01,143
We'll soon find out.
142
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,461
It is a circus atmosphere here
today on day one of the Rho'ha trial.
143
00:09:09,001 --> 00:09:12,491
The voir dire process has been
completed and a jury has been selected.
144
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,601
We are told that the jury will
consist of seven women and five men.
145
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,433
However, the defense has filed a motion
concerning the makeup of the jury.
146
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,259
I must be on that jury. Do not fail.
147
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,499
You want to control
Rho'ha's fate. I understand.
148
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,776
All rise. The court is in session.
Chief Justice Evelyn Hill presiding.
149
00:09:42,300 --> 00:09:43,895
We have agreed on a jury.
150
00:09:44,101 --> 00:09:45,434
What is the purpose of your motion?
151
00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:50,475
Although we have agreed on the
human component of the jury,
152
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,451
the defense believes that there must be
153
00:09:52,452 --> 00:09:54,591
a representative number
of Taelons on the jury.
154
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,143
I've read your brief.
155
00:09:56,900 --> 00:09:59,249
But I'm not inclined to
agree with your conclusions.
156
00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:00,201
Your Honor,
157
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:04,283
the Constitution guarantees
a trial by jury of your peers.
158
00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:07,857
Certainly a jury comprised solely
of humans could not be considered
159
00:10:08,167 --> 00:10:09,709
the defendant’s peers.
160
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,494
Your Honor, when this
crime was committed,
161
00:10:11,495 --> 00:10:13,877
the defendant was living
and working here on Earth.
162
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,324
So, when the defendant killed Major
MacIntire his peers were human.
163
00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:21,065
Furthermore, I exercise
my preemptory challenges
164
00:10:21,066 --> 00:10:24,341
to reject potential
Taelon jurors at question.
165
00:10:26,350 --> 00:10:30,573
I am loath to upset the complex
procedures involved in selecting a jury.
166
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:32,395
However,
167
00:10:33,291 --> 00:10:36,107
the issues in this
trial are unprecedented.
168
00:10:36,700 --> 00:10:40,848
I will not agree to place an equal
number of Taelons on the jury,
169
00:10:42,300 --> 00:10:46,269
but fairness dictates that the
jury shall include one Taelon.
170
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,050
The defense has resubmitted
Zo'or for consideration.
171
00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:54,645
Will you accept this selection
or reopen the voir dire process?
172
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,639
No, Your Honor. We accept Zo'or.
173
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,413
Yeah, but this is different. You've
never let yourself be this exposed before.
174
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,899
You know, you said that on my first
day of high school. And college.
175
00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:14,635
You always say it.
176
00:11:14,900 --> 00:11:17,250
Yeah, and I'm right. I'd say
the same thing to my own son,
177
00:11:17,300 --> 00:11:20,581
but he's not a target for some lunatic
looking to make a name for himself.
178
00:11:21,500 --> 00:11:23,748
Hey, I'm not arguing, but you've
always been there to protect me.
179
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,581
Yeah, that's why your dad hired me.
180
00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:28,061
You know, you have got
to learn how to relax.
181
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,585
Yeah, I'll relax. When
this trial is over.
182
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,139
And you're safe and sound.
183
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:36,350
All right, all ready.
184
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:39,641
- Hi!
- Hey.
185
00:11:39,650 --> 00:11:41,763
Listen, thanks for meeting
me here. Needless to say,
186
00:11:42,261 --> 00:11:43,937
I've been working around
the clock at this point.
187
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:46,100
I hope you don't mind
the Chinese takeout food.
188
00:11:46,150 --> 00:11:47,271
No, not at all.
189
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,419
But if you do win this
case, I expect a real meal.
190
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,609
No problem. As a matter of fact,
dinner is on the go as a result.
191
00:11:54,512 --> 00:11:58,132
So, you're conceding that you have some
doubts as to whether you can win this case.
192
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,325
Well, humility sells well to the jury.
193
00:12:04,950 --> 00:12:08,413
Nah, you pretend you're in it for the glory,
but that's not what it's all about, is it?
194
00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:10,276
What do you think it's about?
195
00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:12,110
I think you really care about the law.
196
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,389
And you wanted a case that would
prove to the whole world that
197
00:12:15,390 --> 00:12:17,274
nobody's above the
law, not even a Taelon.
198
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,931
Yeah. That is, exactly
why I took this case.
199
00:12:25,700 --> 00:12:27,527
And why I can't lose it.
200
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,193
I know you had an opportunity to, uh...
201
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,363
spend some time with my father,
202
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:39,507
while you were shuttling him
around for the Companions.
203
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:42,195
Yeah, I did.
204
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,545
Did you get to know him at all?
205
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,344
We, uh, we had a few conversations.
206
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,137
Well, I'd be interested to know
your observations about him.
207
00:12:56,350 --> 00:12:58,357
We didn't get a chance to
know each other very well.
208
00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:00,238
He's very intelligent,
209
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:02,776
extremely focused.
210
00:13:03,900 --> 00:13:07,255
And uh, not the warmest man
I've ever met in my life.
211
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:09,767
Did he ever mention me?
212
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:12,553
No.
213
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:14,817
I'm sorry to say he didn't.
214
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,765
Well, I'm not surprised.
215
00:13:50,275 --> 00:13:53,866
Zo'or will be sequestered with the rest
of the jury until a verdict is reached.
216
00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:55,827
You will not be able
to communicate with him.
217
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,439
If Zo'or is included on the jury,
it could hurt Taelon credibility.
218
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:03,309
Please explain.
219
00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:06,761
If all the human members of the
jury are in favor of a conviction
220
00:14:07,050 --> 00:14:09,803
and only Zo'or wants to
hold out for an acquittal,
221
00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:11,583
the public will not be satisfied.
222
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,740
I can assure you that the
Synod has instructed Zo'or
223
00:14:14,750 --> 00:14:16,347
to exercise his judgment
224
00:14:16,900 --> 00:14:18,987
in accordance with human principles.
225
00:14:19,151 --> 00:14:21,448
Then why was it so important
to have a Taelon on the jury?
226
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,257
Why do you continue to question
my strategy in this case?
227
00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:25,461
Because I don't agree with it.
228
00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:28,223
My direction is clear.
229
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:30,831
Is the Synod satisfied
with my performance?
230
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:31,993
We are.
231
00:14:32,350 --> 00:14:34,929
Then I would ask Cmdr. Boone be
removed from the defense table.
232
00:14:35,001 --> 00:14:37,801
His ruminations are
unproductive and distracting.
233
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:42,674
Cmdr. Boone's opposing point of
view will only strengthen you.
234
00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:45,347
He will remain.
235
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,357
Please recount for the court
the events of August 20th.
236
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,737
I was at Veteran's Memorial
Hospital, searching for Rho'ha.
237
00:15:03,250 --> 00:15:04,634
As I was running down the corridor,
238
00:15:04,635 --> 00:15:08,057
I could see through a glass wall
into the room of Capt. Lucas Johnson.
239
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,856
And what exactly did you see?
240
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,120
Rho'ha was clutching the head
of Major Raymond MacIntire.
241
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,115
After a moment, the Major
slumped to the floor.
242
00:15:22,650 --> 00:15:23,768
And what did you do next?
243
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,732
I ran to the room to
help Major MacIntire.
244
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,233
But by that time Rho'ha
had already disappeared.
245
00:15:30,300 --> 00:15:31,575
And did you attend to the Major?
246
00:15:32,050 --> 00:15:33,941
Yes, I did. But he was already dead.
247
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:36,955
Thank you, Captain.
248
00:15:44,350 --> 00:15:47,179
This is my solemn promise...
249
00:15:48,825 --> 00:15:49,621
no one...
250
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:51,997
shall sit in judgment...
251
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:54,017
over you.
252
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,206
Captain,
253
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,904
did you see what motivated
Rho'ha to attack Major MacIntire?
254
00:16:06,700 --> 00:16:07,966
When I first saw Rho'ha,
255
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,062
he was already clutching
the head of Major MacIntire.
256
00:16:11,250 --> 00:16:12,776
So it is possible then, that
257
00:16:13,274 --> 00:16:15,951
Major MacIntire threatened
Rho'ha prior to the attack?
258
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,120
I wouldn't know.
259
00:16:20,300 --> 00:16:21,758
That'll be all. Thank you.
260
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,457
You may step down.
261
00:16:25,930 --> 00:16:27,699
What kind of
cross-examination was that?
262
00:16:28,700 --> 00:16:31,033
Precisely the kind I
believed was appropriate.
263
00:16:31,350 --> 00:16:33,506
Your Honor, I have some additional
questions for this witness.
264
00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:35,068
Proceed.
265
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:35,856
Thank you, Your Honor.
266
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:36,995
Captain,
267
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,163
were you aware that Major
MacIntire and Capt. Johnson
268
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,913
were involved in the
kidnapping of Da'an?
269
00:16:43,948 --> 00:16:45,118
Objection! Relevance...
270
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,021
Your Honor, I'm trying to establish
271
00:16:47,081 --> 00:16:50,395
that the relationship between
Major MacIntire and Capt. Johnson
272
00:16:50,700 --> 00:16:53,843
led Major MacIntire to
attack the defendant, Rho'ha.
273
00:16:53,878 --> 00:16:56,877
As an officer who has
commanded troops in combat,
274
00:16:57,250 --> 00:17:01,052
Capt. Marquette is qualified to
testify to this kind of relationship.
275
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:02,872
I'll allow it.
276
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,259
You may answer the question.
277
00:17:04,750 --> 00:17:08,353
Yes, Major MacIntire was Capt.
Johnson's commanding officer.
278
00:17:08,550 --> 00:17:12,743
Did Major MacIntire feel responsible
for Capt. Johnson's medical condition?
279
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,655
Objection! The witness cannot
testify to the victim's state of mind!
280
00:17:15,690 --> 00:17:16,491
I'll rephrase.
281
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,041
If you were to put yourself
in Major MacIntire's shoes,
282
00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:25,633
would you feel responsible
for Capt. Johnson?
283
00:17:26,230 --> 00:17:27,468
It is my understanding that
284
00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:31,737
Major MacIntire volunteered some of his
best soldiers, including Capt. Johnson,
285
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,752
for this assignment which resulted
in Capt. Johnson's illness.
286
00:17:36,250 --> 00:17:38,397
So, if I had done the same,
then yes, I would be responsible.
287
00:17:39,300 --> 00:17:40,032
Captain,
288
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,599
how would you react to the
endangerment of one of your soldiers?
289
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,849
I would do anything in
my power to protect them.
290
00:17:47,150 --> 00:17:49,854
Would that include killing anyone
who you considered a threat?
291
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:51,391
Yes, it would.
292
00:17:51,550 --> 00:17:53,859
So, in your expert opinion,
293
00:17:54,301 --> 00:17:56,627
did Major MacIntire consider the Taelons
294
00:17:57,100 --> 00:18:00,149
a threat to the safety
of Capt. Lucas Johnson?
295
00:18:02,170 --> 00:18:03,039
Yes, he did.
296
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,269
Thank you, Captain.
297
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,911
And the most solid defense
arguments today were made
298
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,173
not by lead counsel Ronald Sandoval,
299
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,312
but surprisingly by Second
Sheriff William Boone.
300
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,345
Mr. Boone elicited testimony
suggesting that the defendant
301
00:18:20,445 --> 00:18:24,062
may well have acted in self-defense,
in the killing on Major MacIntire.
302
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,417
We have tangible evidence of
Taelon experimentation on humans.
303
00:18:28,700 --> 00:18:31,869
We just can't waste this opportunity
to let the world know about it.
304
00:18:32,150 --> 00:18:33,782
Boone's walking a fine line here.
305
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,640
- I hope he's up to it.
- Yeah.
306
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,350
If he tries to get the really
sensitive information out in court,
307
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,307
the Taelons will know
he's being compromised.
308
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,417
Joshua likes to win. Like me.
309
00:18:46,300 --> 00:18:50,178
Trust me, he'll jump at the chance to
discredit the Taelons if it helps him win.
310
00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:53,709
This is our chance to show the
world what the Taelons are doing.
311
00:18:54,500 --> 00:18:56,453
It's all right here.
312
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,048
Well, then
313
00:18:58,700 --> 00:19:03,025
we'll just have to make sure that
Joshua gets this disc, won't we?
314
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,050
My boy! Hey...
315
00:19:28,350 --> 00:19:31,697
Are you ready to make
the ultimate sacrifice?
316
00:19:33,250 --> 00:19:34,001
Are you?
317
00:19:38,070 --> 00:19:38,986
You're my hero.
318
00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:27,005
Please sit down.
319
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,418
Did you cause the death
of Major Raymond MacIntire?
320
00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:41,060
Yes.
321
00:20:42,700 --> 00:20:43,745
Apparently I did.
322
00:20:44,270 --> 00:20:45,037
Why?
323
00:20:48,300 --> 00:20:51,464
The Major burst into
Capt. Johnson's room,
324
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,228
with his weapon aimed
at me, ready to fire.
325
00:20:54,530 --> 00:20:56,324
Was Major MacIntire yelling?
326
00:20:57,500 --> 00:20:58,233
Yes.
327
00:20:58,500 --> 00:20:59,765
Get away from him!
328
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,340
He was telling me to get
away from Capt. Johnson.
329
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,155
Did you believe that Major MacIntire
was about to discharge his weapon?
330
00:21:07,550 --> 00:21:08,317
Yes.
331
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:09,823
What happened next?
332
00:21:11,300 --> 00:21:14,975
I knocked the weapon from
Major MacIntire and...
333
00:21:15,500 --> 00:21:17,927
instinctively applied
pressure to his head
334
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:20,852
as a defensive measure.
335
00:21:22,050 --> 00:21:24,826
Did you intend to kill Major MacIntire?
336
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:27,175
No.
337
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:28,775
Thank you.
338
00:21:30,100 --> 00:21:30,891
Your witness.
339
00:21:35,152 --> 00:21:35,914
So,
340
00:21:36,149 --> 00:21:37,410
it's your testimony that your
341
00:21:37,775 --> 00:21:41,162
"defensive measure" of applying pressure
to Major MacIntire's head was purely
342
00:21:41,197 --> 00:21:42,598
a reaction of self-defense?
343
00:21:43,500 --> 00:21:44,200
Yes.
344
00:21:44,220 --> 00:21:47,387
Yet, you did not intend to kill him?
345
00:21:50,700 --> 00:21:54,530
No. In the heat of the
moment, I reacted violently.
346
00:21:55,900 --> 00:21:57,150
Well, were there any other factors
347
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,103
which would've caused
you to react so violently?
348
00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:04,460
I'm sorry, I don't
understand the question.
349
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,000
Come on, isn't it true that you were
injected with the DNA of Capt. Johnson in
350
00:22:08,533 --> 00:22:10,273
a secret Taelon experiment?
351
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,240
Objection! There is absolutely no
foundation for this baseless accusation!
352
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:15,482
Sustained.
353
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:17,717
And you didn't receive all
of Captain Johnson's DNA.
354
00:22:17,750 --> 00:22:20,336
You only received the genes
linked to aggression and violence.
355
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,909
Objection! Supposition!
356
00:22:21,944 --> 00:22:23,927
...weren't even in control
of your own actions anymore!
357
00:22:23,962 --> 00:22:25,779
Counselor, you're out of line!
I've sustained the objection!
358
00:22:25,780 --> 00:22:26,831
...part of an experiment that failed.
359
00:22:26,901 --> 00:22:28,883
Objection! Supposition!
360
00:22:28,900 --> 00:22:31,039
One more word and I
will have you arrested!
361
00:22:31,074 --> 00:22:32,180
...rage of Captain
Johnson's overtaken you!
362
00:22:32,300 --> 00:22:33,193
I'll kill you!
363
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,813
Well, all I'm thinking
about right now is this case,
364
00:22:45,500 --> 00:22:48,256
and that after the trial we can go
ahead and put everything in perspective.
365
00:22:48,750 --> 00:22:51,525
Was it your goal from the outset
to discredit the Companions?
366
00:22:52,450 --> 00:22:53,820
No, no. I have one goal,
367
00:22:53,850 --> 00:22:56,916
and that is to prove to the world
that we are a nation of laws.
368
00:22:57,250 --> 00:22:59,868
And that true freedom can
only exist where everyone,
369
00:22:59,900 --> 00:23:02,282
including the Taelons,
are bound by those laws.
370
00:23:03,300 --> 00:23:05,708
Do you think the judge is
going to declare a mistrial?
371
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,758
Well, I can't really comment
on that right now, can I?
372
00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:13,000
Will you be introducing more evidence
in regards to the experiments?
373
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:14,371
We'll just have to wait and see.
374
00:23:26,500 --> 00:23:29,080
And the stunning revelations
in the Rho'ha trial today
375
00:23:29,081 --> 00:23:30,892
have reverberated throughout the world.
376
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,842
Concerned citizens are demanding to know
377
00:23:33,843 --> 00:23:37,307
if there's truth to the allegations
of secret Taelon experiments.
378
00:23:38,350 --> 00:23:41,336
Chief Justice Hill has ruled
that no additional evidence
379
00:23:41,337 --> 00:23:44,308
on the alleged Taelon
experimentation can be admitted.
380
00:23:44,775 --> 00:23:46,744
The judge agreed with
the defense contention
381
00:23:46,745 --> 00:23:49,407
that all of Mr. Doors's
evidence was uncorroborated.
382
00:23:49,901 --> 00:23:52,900
And that Rho'ha's face blush was
insufficient to justify further
383
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,024
questioning on the issue
of Taelon experiments.
384
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,611
Good call. Joshua reacted
exactly as I expected.
385
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,858
Let's remind ourselves what
is not a dispute in this case.
386
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,932
That the defendant caused the death of
Major Raymond MacIntire with his bare hands.
387
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,558
Now the defendant claims
that he acted in self-defense.
388
00:24:18,700 --> 00:24:21,275
Yet Major MacIntire,
a decorated SI veteran,
389
00:24:21,300 --> 00:24:23,474
did not have time to
fire even a single shot,
390
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,873
even though according to the
defendant’s own testimony,
391
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,288
the Major entered the room with
his weapon drawn, ready to fire!
392
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,478
Now the defendant stated
that he knocked the gun away,
393
00:24:34,050 --> 00:24:34,824
and then
394
00:24:35,327 --> 00:24:37,053
applied a Taelon grip to the sides
395
00:24:37,054 --> 00:24:39,508
of Major MacIntire's head
with sufficient pressure
396
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:41,510
to kill him!
397
00:24:42,100 --> 00:24:44,114
An eyewitness has
corroborated this testimony.
398
00:24:45,450 --> 00:24:47,267
Now the defendant’s use of deadly force
399
00:24:47,750 --> 00:24:51,598
can only be justified if
he was in fear for his life.
400
00:24:52,900 --> 00:24:55,117
Now this was clearly not the case here!
401
00:24:55,900 --> 00:24:58,895
Because, at the time that the
defendant killed Major MacIntire,
402
00:24:59,100 --> 00:25:01,249
the Major was unarmed,
403
00:25:02,300 --> 00:25:04,918
and at the mercy of the defendant.
404
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,290
Therefore, as a matter of law,
405
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,939
the defendant’s actions cannot
406
00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:12,122
be self-defense.
407
00:25:14,175 --> 00:25:15,175
And you have no choice
408
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,231
but to find the defendant
guilty of murder.
409
00:25:20,750 --> 00:25:21,618
Thank you.
410
00:25:31,300 --> 00:25:33,850
Mr. Doors presents a rather eloquent
411
00:25:34,100 --> 00:25:35,521
and compelling appeal.
412
00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:38,138
There is only one problem.
413
00:25:39,300 --> 00:25:40,986
The reasoning is incorrect.
414
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:45,529
Let's examine
415
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,321
additional facts that
are not in dispute.
416
00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:54,404
Although Mr. Doors continues
to refer to Major MacIntire
417
00:25:54,500 --> 00:25:56,181
as a decorated war veteran,
418
00:25:57,450 --> 00:26:00,289
some of his recent activities
are far less impressive.
419
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,121
Assault. Kidnapping.
420
00:26:04,416 --> 00:26:06,561
Crime, in any galaxy.
421
00:26:08,300 --> 00:26:12,417
A heavily armed MacIntire broke
into a high security facility,
422
00:26:12,601 --> 00:26:14,322
and threatened to kill the defendant,
423
00:26:14,525 --> 00:26:19,405
in retaliation for what he considered unfair
treatment of his friend, Capt. Johnson.
424
00:26:20,525 --> 00:26:22,740
Some of you might respect
the Major for his loyalty.
425
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,065
Maybe you wish you had the
courage to do the same thing.
426
00:26:27,500 --> 00:26:28,281
But
427
00:26:29,517 --> 00:26:32,172
there is one incontrovertible fact.
428
00:26:33,700 --> 00:26:34,739
His actions
429
00:26:35,100 --> 00:26:36,081
violated the law.
430
00:26:39,700 --> 00:26:43,199
When Mr. MacIntire pointed the gun at
the defendant and threatened to kill him,
431
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,320
the law allowed the defendant to
protect himself by whatever means.
432
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,329
If an experienced soldier
433
00:26:53,500 --> 00:26:54,613
threatened to kill you
434
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,169
with a loaded gun pointed
directly at your chest.
435
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,017
What would you do?
436
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,351
This major obviously had a
vendetta against the Companions.
437
00:27:13,700 --> 00:27:15,637
He kidnapped Da'an, for goodness's sake!
438
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,484
All I know is that if anyone
pointed a loaded gun at me,
439
00:27:20,980 --> 00:27:23,139
I'd do anything to defend myself.
440
00:27:24,900 --> 00:27:25,983
I vote "not guilty."
441
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:33,803
Guilty.
442
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:36,779
Please explain yourself.
443
00:27:37,700 --> 00:27:40,020
Let me make sure I
understand your system.
444
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,536
For us to acquit Rho'ha,
445
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,622
we must believe he was
acting in self-defense.
446
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:47,485
Is that correct?
447
00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:48,600
Yes.
448
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:54,348
To act in self-defense, one must
believe one's life is in danger.
449
00:27:55,500 --> 00:27:59,184
A Taelon would never have to
kill a human in self-defense,
450
00:27:59,900 --> 00:28:03,670
because humans do not have
the ability to kill Taelons.
451
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,463
And every Taelon knows that.
452
00:28:07,700 --> 00:28:10,851
A nine-millimeter handgun
can't kill a Taelon?
453
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,840
Our physical form consists
primarily of energy.
454
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,534
It is impervious to bullets.
455
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,471
Examine for yourself.
456
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,066
This is not a proud moment
for me or any Taelon.
457
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,244
We honor and respect Earth's customs.
458
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,479
Rho'ha must pay for the violent
act of murder that he has committed.
459
00:28:56,500 --> 00:28:57,537
Order! Order!
460
00:29:02,500 --> 00:29:04,015
Has the jury reached the verdict?
461
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:05,704
We have, Your Honor.
462
00:29:13,900 --> 00:29:14,856
How do you find?
463
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,046
We find the defendant, Rho'ha...
464
00:29:18,835 --> 00:29:20,311
guilty of murder.
465
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,554
Order! Order! I said order!
466
00:29:28,700 --> 00:29:32,501
And we sentence the defendant
to the maximum penalty: death.
467
00:29:34,700 --> 00:29:36,280
Order! Order!
468
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,278
And the world was rocked
not once but twice,
469
00:29:43,575 --> 00:29:46,784
as the most watched trial in
history ended in a guilty verdict.
470
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,016
Chief Justice Hill has scheduled the
formal sentencing of Rho'ha for tomorrow.
471
00:29:54,212 --> 00:29:55,724
Not right now, not now.
472
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,184
Mr. Doors, are you
satisfied with the verdict?
473
00:29:59,219 --> 00:30:02,087
Well, the people have spoken,
and they said clearly that
474
00:30:02,088 --> 00:30:03,614
everyone is accountable under the law.
475
00:30:03,900 --> 00:30:06,725
Did the jury need to return a
death sentence to prove that point?
476
00:30:07,450 --> 00:30:09,950
Well, I think what's important is
the sanctity of the jury system.
477
00:30:09,951 --> 00:30:11,190
I respect their decision.
478
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,147
You shoot me, I'll let go
of this, and we all blow!
479
00:30:17,550 --> 00:30:18,639
Get away... Willie!
480
00:30:19,300 --> 00:30:20,253
There's nothing you can do!
481
00:30:20,700 --> 00:30:22,283
You put the Companions on trial,
482
00:30:22,500 --> 00:30:24,479
and this man is the arm of the devil!
483
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,030
How could you let this happen?!
484
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,541
Boone! You skrill the psycho
and he takes Doors with him!
485
00:30:28,650 --> 00:30:29,818
The psycho isn't my target.
486
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,390
It's horrifying... just horrifying!
487
00:30:42,550 --> 00:30:45,459
A suicide bomber has just
succeeded in killing himself,
488
00:30:45,801 --> 00:30:49,685
and quite possibly his target,
Rho'ha prosecutor Joshua Doors!
489
00:30:50,830 --> 00:30:51,533
Stand back!
490
00:30:56,900 --> 00:31:01,618
The death of Willie Collier, bodyguard
to Joshua Doors, has been confirmed.
491
00:31:01,900 --> 00:31:05,416
That is Cmdr. William
Boone with Joshua Doors.
492
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:39,691
I'm sorry.
493
00:31:39,726 --> 00:31:42,497
- Do you believe the verdict is incorrect?
- I do.
494
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,141
But Rho'ha has killed a human.
Should he not pay for that crime?
495
00:31:46,430 --> 00:31:48,195
Yes, but Rho'ha
shouldn't be put to death
496
00:31:48,401 --> 00:31:50,283
if he wasn't in control of his actions.
497
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,451
I believe that your legal
system allows for recourse
498
00:31:54,835 --> 00:31:56,321
to a higher authority.
499
00:31:57,300 --> 00:31:59,793
Only if there is sufficient
grounds for an appeal.
500
00:32:00,301 --> 00:32:04,426
Right now I can't see that any
reversible error was committed.
501
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,841
If it is only the punishment
that you believe was unjust,
502
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:11,094
then, perhaps, you should focus
your attention in that area.
503
00:32:21,300 --> 00:32:22,194
Order!
504
00:32:24,030 --> 00:32:26,816
I'm prepared to formally
sentence the defendant.
505
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,074
First, however, the defense
has requested to be heard.
506
00:32:32,370 --> 00:32:35,942
Your Honor, the defense moves that
the court set aside the death sentence.
507
00:32:36,300 --> 00:32:37,414
On what basis?
508
00:32:38,300 --> 00:32:40,200
In this case, Your Honor, I would argue
509
00:32:40,250 --> 00:32:43,000
that the death penalty
violates public policy.
510
00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:44,579
That would render the sentence moot.
511
00:32:44,850 --> 00:32:46,869
With all due respect, Your
Honor, it would be unconscionable
512
00:32:46,870 --> 00:32:49,243
to frustrate the will of the
jury that has so clearly spoken!
513
00:32:49,780 --> 00:32:54,824
I'm not inclined to quash a good-faith
request by the defense to present arguments.
514
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,831
Especially in a death penalty case.
515
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,489
I'll hear counsel
tomorrow on this issue.
516
00:33:05,930 --> 00:33:09,401
How dare you embarrass
me in open court?!
517
00:33:09,450 --> 00:33:11,525
Embarrass you? We're
talking about a life here!
518
00:33:11,550 --> 00:33:12,690
That isn't the point.
519
00:33:13,051 --> 00:33:15,516
Why would you attempt to
overturn the jury verdict?
520
00:33:15,650 --> 00:33:19,369
I was under the impression that the
Synod wanted me to defend Rho'ha.
521
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,200
It was the Synod's desire
522
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:24,300
that we operate within the bounds
of human custom in this instance.
523
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,488
How did your actions serve the
interests of the Companions?
524
00:33:29,700 --> 00:33:31,685
I am following the desires of the Synod.
525
00:33:32,300 --> 00:33:34,332
That's how I'm serving the Companions.
526
00:33:39,250 --> 00:33:40,205
Mr. Doors.
527
00:33:42,750 --> 00:33:44,725
For purposes of this current motion,
528
00:33:45,858 --> 00:33:49,673
my burden is to demonstrate
the fact that capital punishment
529
00:33:50,300 --> 00:33:52,752
does not violate public policy.
530
00:33:53,050 --> 00:33:54,731
As a matter of fact, capital punishment
531
00:33:55,050 --> 00:33:57,385
is exercised in cultures
throughout the world,
532
00:33:57,500 --> 00:34:00,585
including the United States,
where this crime was committed!
533
00:34:01,700 --> 00:34:03,571
Why? Well, for several reasons.
534
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:04,626
Deterrent.
535
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,355
Society's need
536
00:34:08,350 --> 00:34:09,580
for a sense of fairness.
537
00:34:10,187 --> 00:34:11,109
Revenge.
538
00:34:12,661 --> 00:34:13,421
Protection.
539
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,291
The fact that capital punishment exists in
540
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,487
jurisdictions throughout the world
541
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:26,437
for reasons that are
not illegal, nor immoral,
542
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,013
more than meet this burden.
543
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:32,073
Thank you, Your Honor.
544
00:34:34,250 --> 00:34:34,973
Mr. Boone.
545
00:34:41,450 --> 00:34:42,203
Your Honor,
546
00:34:43,050 --> 00:34:46,563
classic death penalty arguments
are irrelevant in this case.
547
00:34:46,650 --> 00:34:48,850
Because I can see that much of the world
548
00:34:49,060 --> 00:34:52,673
agrees that capital punishment
is an appropriate punishment.
549
00:34:52,850 --> 00:34:56,769
So I'm not here to argue for
or against capital punishment.
550
00:34:58,050 --> 00:35:00,453
However, it is the defense's position
551
00:35:00,650 --> 00:35:02,993
that in this case only,
552
00:35:03,150 --> 00:35:06,109
the death sentence is
against public policy.
553
00:35:06,700 --> 00:35:07,484
Why here?
554
00:35:07,500 --> 00:35:10,215
Because in this case only,
555
00:35:10,500 --> 00:35:13,285
we're talking about putting
an alien being to death!
556
00:35:13,420 --> 00:35:14,585
Not a human being.
557
00:35:15,100 --> 00:35:17,163
If we choose to put a member
of our own species to death.
558
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,857
So be it! The majority has ruled.
559
00:35:20,900 --> 00:35:22,016
But an alien being?
560
00:35:22,900 --> 00:35:24,873
One we've only known for three years?
561
00:35:25,100 --> 00:35:28,501
Are we so arrogant, as a
species, as human beings,
562
00:35:28,700 --> 00:35:33,263
to presume that we know the impact of
killing a member of an alien species?
563
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,395
Even if that species has
given us the right to do it?
564
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,031
I hope not.
565
00:35:41,350 --> 00:35:42,347
I really hope not.
566
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:45,075
Thank you, Your Honor.
567
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:51,513
Order!
568
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,107
I will not use this forum
to comment on public policy.
569
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,991
Whether capital
punishment is appropriate
570
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,960
is the domain of the
lawmakers, not the courts.
571
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,191
However,
572
00:36:10,315 --> 00:36:12,624
defense counsel's
arguments are compelling.
573
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,449
I will not be responsible
574
00:36:17,900 --> 00:36:23,341
for approving the death sentence
of a being I do not yet understand.
575
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,100
At some future point,
we may determine that
576
00:36:29,150 --> 00:36:31,577
the death sentence is
appropriate for a Taelon.
577
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,086
Then the defendant’s
sentence can be revisited.
578
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:41,001
Until that time, I order Rho'ha
579
00:36:41,700 --> 00:36:46,665
to be incarcerated in a
joint human-Taelon facility.
580
00:36:47,900 --> 00:36:48,618
Your Honor,
581
00:36:49,850 --> 00:36:53,600
the defense requests that Rho'ha be
remanded to the custody of the Taelons
582
00:36:53,650 --> 00:36:56,647
for a reasonable period,
sufficient to arrange his affairs.
583
00:37:01,100 --> 00:37:01,956
Your Honor,
584
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,200
the defendant has been
convicted of a capital offense...
585
00:37:05,210 --> 00:37:09,242
Is counsel agreeable to negotiating
a mutually acceptable procedure,
586
00:37:09,243 --> 00:37:12,519
that would allow the defendant
the time he has requested?
587
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,389
I am, Your Honor.
588
00:37:25,350 --> 00:37:26,235
So ordered!
589
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:43,336
Will.
590
00:37:43,734 --> 00:37:44,745
Excuse me, just for a minute.
591
00:37:46,100 --> 00:37:47,033
That's damn good lawyering.
592
00:37:47,427 --> 00:37:48,170
Thanks.
593
00:37:48,250 --> 00:37:49,755
And I'm satisfied. We made our point.
594
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,484
And if the Taelons are bound by our
laws, then I can rest comfortably.
595
00:37:54,050 --> 00:37:57,787
We better make sure that the Taelons
continue to be bound by our laws.
596
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:00,574
Listen, thanks.
597
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:02,489
Thanks for everything.
598
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:03,525
You're welcome.
599
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,413
- Mr. Doors! Can we speak with you?
- Go. You've earned it.
600
00:38:10,650 --> 00:38:13,292
I'll continue to search
for grounds for an appeal.
601
00:38:14,300 --> 00:38:15,749
We'll make new law if we have to.
602
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,185
You have my great
admiration and respect.
603
00:38:46,250 --> 00:38:49,803
Your death at the hands of the humans
would have served the Taelons well,
604
00:38:50,351 --> 00:38:53,750
by further convincing humanity
that we honor its ways.
605
00:38:55,450 --> 00:38:58,481
Is that why you persuaded the
other jurors to convict me?
606
00:38:58,870 --> 00:38:59,653
Of course.
607
00:39:00,350 --> 00:39:02,570
But William Boone took
that away from you.
608
00:39:03,050 --> 00:39:04,671
He fought for me.
609
00:39:06,950 --> 00:39:09,869
We cannot cleanse your
system of the human DNA.
610
00:39:10,450 --> 00:39:13,279
Such an impurity in
the Taelon Commonality
611
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,824
poses an unacceptable
danger to the Taelons.
612
00:39:18,250 --> 00:39:19,735
Your choice is clear.
613
00:39:22,950 --> 00:39:24,241
Tell William Boone,
614
00:39:25,450 --> 00:39:27,243
that despite my ultimate fate,
615
00:39:28,350 --> 00:39:29,999
his defense of my life
616
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:34,705
has made me proud to carry a
piece of humanity within my being.
