WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:16.000 The bailiff held the door open, counted each person entering. Eight women, four men, 12 of us. 00:16.000 --> 00:27.000 To close the door and lock us in was a long table, chairs, a water cooler, hot on the wall, nine turnings. 00:27.000 --> 00:31.000 With the windows closed, the air was warm, moist. 00:31.000 --> 00:34.000 Well, I guess we'd better get started, folks. 00:34.000 --> 00:41.000 And we began the process of deciding whether a man was guilty or not guilty to a charge of murder. 00:41.000 --> 00:48.000 There were two hours of open discussion before Mr. Muncie, the jury foreman, decided to take the first ballot, the secret ballot. 00:48.000 --> 00:54.000 He collected the folded pieces of paper and sat down. 00:54.000 --> 00:58.000 Miss Keller, would you keep count as I read the ballots, please? 00:58.000 --> 01:02.000 All right. 01:02.000 --> 01:07.000 A person is guilty. 01:07.000 --> 01:10.000 Guilty. 01:10.000 --> 01:14.000 Guilty. 01:14.000 --> 01:17.000 Guilty. 01:17.000 --> 01:21.000 Guilty. 01:21.000 --> 01:25.000 Guilty. 01:25.000 --> 01:28.000 Guilty. 01:28.000 --> 01:31.000 Guilty. 01:31.000 --> 01:34.000 Not guilty. 01:34.000 --> 01:37.000 Guilty. 01:37.000 --> 01:39.000 Guilty. 01:39.000 --> 01:43.000 And guilty. 01:43.000 --> 01:45.000 Eleven to one. 01:45.000 --> 01:46.000 One holdout. 01:46.000 --> 01:48.000 Now what are we supposed to do? 01:48.000 --> 01:51.000 Start over, I guess. 01:51.000 --> 01:52.000 How much time have we got? 01:52.000 --> 01:53.000 All day. 01:53.000 --> 01:54.000 And if we don't reach the verdict? 01:54.000 --> 01:57.000 I guess they'll lock us up in the hotel overnight. 01:57.000 --> 02:01.000 Well, they're not locking me up. I've got to get home tonight. 02:01.000 --> 02:03.000 All right, then. Let's go over it again, folks. 02:03.000 --> 02:06.000 Someone will have to change their mind before we can get out of here. 02:06.000 --> 02:08.000 Mr. Donovan? 02:08.000 --> 02:09.000 Yes, Mrs. Carmacki? 02:09.000 --> 02:13.000 You've been awfully quiet. Anything you'd like to say? 02:13.000 --> 02:18.000 I was trying to think the way the one holdout might be thinking. 02:18.000 --> 02:21.000 Is there something we fail to consider? 02:21.000 --> 02:25.000 Possibly the matter of intent to commit murder, which is definitely premeditated. 02:25.000 --> 02:29.000 Oh, Avery knew his wife was with that shy Randall fella, 02:29.000 --> 02:31.000 so he got a gun and went up there and killed him. 02:31.000 --> 02:34.000 I don't care how you spread it, but that's murder. 02:34.000 --> 02:36.000 No, no, there's more to it than that, Mr. Carmacki. 02:36.000 --> 02:39.000 For instance, there's the plea of temporary insanity. 02:39.000 --> 02:43.000 Yes, that confused me a little. The judge said we should consider temporary insanity. 02:43.000 --> 02:47.000 Oh, to tell you the truth, Mrs. Medina, my woman's intuition... 02:47.000 --> 02:48.000 Hogwash, hogwash. 02:48.000 --> 02:50.000 Really, Mr. Smith, your manner is... 02:50.000 --> 02:52.000 Let's keep this discussion sensed for now. 02:52.000 --> 02:54.000 I refuse to discuss it. 02:54.000 --> 02:56.000 Now, now, now, let's don't lose our temper. 02:56.000 --> 02:58.000 What about that psychiatrist that testified? 02:58.000 --> 03:01.000 He said temporary insanity was possible in this case. 03:01.000 --> 03:03.000 But he said Clyde Avery was as sane as any of it. 03:03.000 --> 03:04.000 Possibly. 03:04.000 --> 03:08.000 But couldn't we consider Clyde Avery's mental condition at the time of the shooting? 03:08.000 --> 03:12.000 After the stories he heard about his wife, after all... 03:12.000 --> 03:15.000 Well, how would you feel under those conditions, Mr. Vale? 03:15.000 --> 03:18.000 Me? Well, what do you mean by that? 03:18.000 --> 03:21.000 Now, now, now, now, we are supposed to consider these things. 03:21.000 --> 03:24.000 If we pull the trigger, that's insanity. 03:24.000 --> 03:26.000 There's not enough to say. 03:32.000 --> 03:35.000 I wouldn't let Smith bother you, Mrs. Carmacki. 03:35.000 --> 03:38.000 Some of these people are beginning to get on my nerves. 03:38.000 --> 03:40.000 I'll be glad when it's over. 03:40.000 --> 03:41.000 That's been a long trial. 03:41.000 --> 03:42.000 Yeah. 03:42.000 --> 03:48.000 Poor man downstairs, Clyde Avery, sitting there day after day, squirming, waiting, 03:48.000 --> 03:51.000 watching us, wondering about our verdict. 03:51.000 --> 03:54.000 We're doing the best we can. 03:54.000 --> 03:56.000 What's the matter, Mr. Donovan? 03:56.000 --> 03:59.000 From the way you're talking, you might be the one holed out. 03:59.000 --> 04:00.000 Me? Oh, why? 04:00.000 --> 04:02.000 No, no, no, don't tell me. 04:02.000 --> 04:04.000 I don't want to know. 04:04.000 --> 04:08.000 Mrs. Carmacki, if you are the only one who thought he wasn't guilty, 04:08.000 --> 04:10.000 then I've got to talk to you. 04:10.000 --> 04:12.000 To me? Why? 04:12.000 --> 04:15.000 Because I'm not really sure he's guilty either. 04:15.000 --> 04:17.000 You're not? 04:17.000 --> 04:21.000 No. I let the others influence my thinking, but... 04:21.000 --> 04:22.000 Well, I realize... 04:22.000 --> 04:24.000 No, wait, please, let me finish. 04:24.000 --> 04:27.000 I've been waiting for a chance to talk to you alone. 04:27.000 --> 04:29.000 I need your advice, Mrs. Carmacki. 04:29.000 --> 04:30.000 You're doing? 04:30.000 --> 04:32.000 Yes, there's so many contradictions. 04:32.000 --> 04:35.000 Why do you take that business about the struggle when the gun went off? 04:35.000 --> 04:37.000 Well, do you think there was a struggle? 04:37.000 --> 04:40.000 Well, I didn't at first, but the medical examiner said the bullet 04:40.000 --> 04:43.000 entered the victim's chest traveling down. 04:43.000 --> 04:46.000 Avery would have had to hold the gun over his head, pointed down 04:46.000 --> 04:49.000 to give the bullet that direction to travel like this, you see. 04:49.000 --> 04:51.000 It's ridiculous, it's too awkward, might miss. 04:51.000 --> 04:53.000 But the direction of the bullet was downward. 04:53.000 --> 04:56.000 Then the gun went off as they both fought for it over their heads. 04:56.000 --> 04:58.000 That's the only answer. 04:58.000 --> 05:01.000 But his wife said there wasn't a struggle. 05:01.000 --> 05:03.000 I haven't believed a word of her testimony. 05:03.000 --> 05:05.000 I've known women like her, I know the type. 05:05.000 --> 05:06.000 Really? 05:06.000 --> 05:09.000 My verdict was wrong. 05:09.000 --> 05:13.000 If you voted not guilty, you were right, Mrs. Carmacki. 05:13.000 --> 05:15.000 Trust a woman's intuition, I've always said. 05:15.000 --> 05:17.000 I didn't say I voted not guilty. 05:17.000 --> 05:18.000 I know, I know. 05:18.000 --> 05:20.000 But if you did... 05:20.000 --> 05:21.000 Wait. 05:21.000 --> 05:23.000 Just a lot of money! 05:23.000 --> 05:28.000 Listen, here's the course instructions now. 05:28.000 --> 05:31.000 When you retire to the jury room for your verdict and the evidence 05:31.000 --> 05:34.000 considered as a whole leaves in your mind a reasonable doubt, 05:34.000 --> 05:39.000 a reasonable doubt, Mrs. Carmacki, arising either from the evidence 05:39.000 --> 05:42.000 or lack of evidence of the guilt of the accused, 05:42.000 --> 05:45.000 then you should vote not guilty. 05:45.000 --> 05:47.000 You see? 05:47.000 --> 05:49.000 A reasonable doubt. 05:49.000 --> 05:51.000 The others are still arguing points. 05:51.000 --> 05:55.000 None of them can honestly say there isn't a reasonable doubt in their minds. 05:55.000 --> 05:56.000 I suppose not. 05:56.000 --> 05:59.000 You'll have allies after the next ballot, Mrs. Carmacki. 05:59.000 --> 06:00.000 You wait and see. 06:00.000 --> 06:02.000 You think the others will change their minds? 06:02.000 --> 06:04.000 Look at Mr. Beigel. 06:04.000 --> 06:06.000 He seems upset. 06:06.000 --> 06:07.000 And Mrs. Medina. 06:07.000 --> 06:08.000 Yes. 06:08.000 --> 06:11.000 And Miss Keller, still going over her notes. 06:11.000 --> 06:13.000 She needs help, too. 06:13.000 --> 06:15.000 Why don't you talk to her? 06:15.000 --> 06:17.000 I will. 06:17.000 --> 06:20.000 And you should help Mrs. Medina see this more clearly. 06:20.000 --> 06:21.000 Poor thing. 06:21.000 --> 06:25.000 She said herself that she couldn't make a decision without her husband's help. 06:25.000 --> 06:27.000 I think I will talk to her. 06:27.000 --> 06:31.000 Just help her to understand as you've helped me, Mrs. Carmacki. 06:31.000 --> 06:33.000 I will.

12:27.000 --> 12:30.000 Is getting on tonight more important than a just verdict? 12:30.000 --> 12:31.000 Yes. 12:31.000 --> 12:34.000 I mean, to me, it's... 12:34.000 --> 12:37.000 Would it help to talk about it? 12:37.000 --> 12:41.000 Look, look, it's my wife. 12:41.000 --> 12:46.000 We've been arguing, saying things we didn't really mean. 12:46.000 --> 12:48.000 She said she was going to leave me. 12:48.000 --> 12:52.000 Well, leaving her alone tonight might give her a chance to think it over. 12:52.000 --> 12:54.000 If I'm not home tonight, she'll think I don't care. 12:54.000 --> 12:56.000 And she will leave me. 12:56.000 --> 12:57.000 Oh, I see. 12:57.000 --> 12:59.000 I don't want her to leave. 12:59.000 --> 13:02.000 I love her. 13:02.000 --> 13:05.000 I'm not going to get along without her. 13:05.000 --> 13:07.000 Gosh, I don't know what to tell you, Bale. 13:07.000 --> 13:09.000 You see, you see why I've got to get out of here tonight, don't you? 13:09.000 --> 13:12.000 Sure, of course, but... 13:12.000 --> 13:15.000 So many of them are changing their minds. 13:15.000 --> 13:18.000 To be honest with you, Bale, I'm changing my verdict on the next ballot. 13:18.000 --> 13:20.000 Well, then talk to them, Donovan. 13:20.000 --> 13:22.000 They'll listen to you. 13:22.000 --> 13:24.000 These people got a lot of respect for you. 13:24.000 --> 13:25.000 I'll try. 13:25.000 --> 13:27.000 Thanks. 13:27.000 --> 13:31.000 Say, do you think that Balef would let me make a phone call? 13:31.000 --> 13:32.000 I don't know. 13:32.000 --> 13:35.000 Well, maybe if I could just talk to him. 13:35.000 --> 13:37.000 You might ask him, but I doubt it. 13:37.000 --> 13:39.000 You got another cigarette? 13:39.000 --> 13:40.000 Sure. 13:40.000 --> 13:42.000 Just take the pack. I got plenty. 13:42.000 --> 13:46.000 We had an understanding now. 13:46.000 --> 13:52.000 Mrs. Carmichael was chatting at the table with the two housewives, Mrs. Lester and Mrs. Lauren. 13:52.000 --> 13:54.000 She winked at me as I passed. 13:54.000 --> 13:55.000 I winked back. 13:55.000 --> 13:57.000 She was making progress. 13:57.000 --> 13:59.000 I joined small groups around the room. 13:59.000 --> 14:01.000 They were like weather things. 14:01.000 --> 14:04.000 They'd go whichever way the wind seemed to be blowing. 14:04.000 --> 14:06.000 I gave each of them something to think about. 14:06.000 --> 14:08.000 Two o'clock. 14:08.000 --> 14:10.000 Three. 14:10.000 --> 14:12.000 Three-thirty. 14:12.000 --> 14:15.000 Then I sat down next to the alternate old Mr. Smith. 14:15.000 --> 14:19.000 We got to talking, and I kept an eye on Mr. Bale. 14:19.000 --> 14:20.000 Now look here, Donovan. 14:20.000 --> 14:23.000 You keep harping on that temporary insanity. 14:23.000 --> 14:26.000 You're one of them that voted for the quiddles? 14:26.000 --> 14:28.000 Well, I don't mind telling you how I voted. 14:28.000 --> 14:31.000 I did change my mind on that last ballot. 14:31.000 --> 14:32.000 I thought so. 14:32.000 --> 14:33.000 And do you know why? 14:33.000 --> 14:34.000 No. 14:34.000 --> 14:38.000 Because I believe a man can go insane temporarily. 14:38.000 --> 14:39.000 Oh, you do. 14:39.000 --> 14:41.000 Just as sure as we're sitting here. 14:41.000 --> 14:45.000 Now, Mr. Smith, a man's mind is a complex instrument. 14:45.000 --> 14:48.000 A small thing can unbalance it, and it's that a man's reasoning, 14:48.000 --> 14:50.000 and it can happen just like that. 14:50.000 --> 14:51.000 Just like that. 14:51.000 --> 14:52.000 Yes, sir. 14:52.000 --> 14:58.000 It can happen to anyone, to you, to me, but Mr. Muncie, even Mr. Bale over there. 14:58.000 --> 15:01.000 Well, I'd have to see it before I believe it. 15:01.000 --> 15:03.000 Well, I'm not trying to change your mind, Mr. Smith. 15:03.000 --> 15:05.000 Only you can do that. 15:05.000 --> 15:06.000 I changed mine. 15:06.000 --> 15:09.000 I was wrong before and willing to admit it. 15:09.000 --> 15:11.000 We're all trying the best we can, Mr. Smith. 15:11.000 --> 15:12.000 What's he doing? 15:12.000 --> 15:13.000 Who? 15:13.000 --> 15:14.000 Mr. Bale. 15:14.000 --> 15:16.000 He rang the buzzer for the ballot. 15:16.000 --> 15:17.000 I don't know. 15:17.000 --> 15:18.000 Well, I've been watching him. 15:18.000 --> 15:19.000 He can't sit still. 15:19.000 --> 15:22.000 Always smoking, pacing back and forth. 15:22.000 --> 15:25.000 Oh, he's the bailiff. 15:25.000 --> 15:27.000 Somebody ring for me? 15:27.000 --> 15:29.000 I did, Bale. 15:29.000 --> 15:31.000 I wonder if I could make a short phone call. 15:31.000 --> 15:32.000 No, no, sir. 15:32.000 --> 15:33.000 Sorry. 15:33.000 --> 15:35.000 I just want to call my wife. 15:35.000 --> 15:36.000 Judge wouldn't permit it, sir. 15:36.000 --> 15:37.000 Sorry. 15:37.000 --> 15:38.000 I won't mention the trial. 15:38.000 --> 15:40.000 You can listen in if you want to. 15:40.000 --> 15:42.000 Nothing I can do until you've brought in a verdict. 15:42.000 --> 15:44.000 Well, we may be here all night. 15:44.000 --> 15:45.000 Then we'll have to lock you up, sir. 15:45.000 --> 15:46.000 Oh, no. 15:46.000 --> 15:48.000 You're not locking me up. 15:48.000 --> 15:49.000 What's the matter with you? 15:49.000 --> 15:50.000 Let's go on. 15:50.000 --> 15:51.000 I'll let you know. 15:51.000 --> 15:53.000 Mr. Bale, you can't do that. 15:53.000 --> 15:54.000 I've got to get home to my wife. 15:54.000 --> 15:55.000 Bale, take it easy. 15:55.000 --> 15:56.000 Somebody grab his arm. 15:56.000 --> 15:57.000 The gentleman. 15:57.000 --> 15:58.000 Give me a hand. 15:58.000 --> 15:59.000 I got it. 15:59.000 --> 16:00.000 The gentleman. 16:00.000 --> 16:01.000 All right. 16:01.000 --> 16:02.000 Tell him about Edna. 16:02.000 --> 16:03.000 Now, now, now. 16:03.000 --> 16:04.000 Settle down, Bale. 16:04.000 --> 16:05.000 We'll take care of him. 16:05.000 --> 16:06.000 Go. 16:06.000 --> 16:07.000 Here we are. 16:07.000 --> 16:08.000 Can you handle him? 16:08.000 --> 16:09.000 Yes. 16:09.000 --> 16:10.000 Yes, we can handle him now. 16:10.000 --> 16:11.000 Oh, Bale, I hope this won't cause trouble. 16:11.000 --> 16:12.000 Oh, no, no. 16:12.000 --> 16:13.000 Just keep him quiet. 16:13.000 --> 16:14.000 He'll be all right. 16:14.000 --> 16:15.000 Mr. Bale, have a drink of water. 16:15.000 --> 16:16.000 There you are. 16:16.000 --> 16:17.000 I don't want any. 16:17.000 --> 16:18.000 Just leave me alone. 16:18.000 --> 16:19.000 Here, here, here. 16:19.000 --> 16:20.000 Come over here and sit down. 16:20.000 --> 16:21.000 You'll feel better. 16:21.000 --> 16:22.000 There's nothing to worry about. 16:22.000 --> 16:23.000 I'll take care of him. 16:23.000 --> 16:24.000 I'll take care of him. 16:24.000 --> 16:25.000 I'll take care of him. 16:25.000 --> 16:26.000 I'll take care of him. 16:26.000 --> 16:27.000 I'll take care of him. 16:27.000 --> 16:28.000 I'll take care of him. 16:28.000 --> 16:29.000 I'll take care of him. 16:29.000 --> 16:30.000 I'll take care of him. 16:30.000 --> 16:36.360 I'll take care of him. 16:36.360 --> 16:44.560 I'll take care of him. 16:44.560 --> 16:52.040 I'll take care of him. 16:52.040 --> 16:56.040 Don't you think it's time for another ballot? 16:56.040 --> 16:59.040 Or, Z, if the others want one. 16:59.040 --> 17:01.040 I think it probably would. 17:01.040 --> 17:07.040 All right. But this time we'll have an open ballot with a show of hands. 17:07.040 --> 17:11.040 Unless you have some objections, Mr. Duhman. 17:11.040 --> 17:15.040 Objections? No, not at all, Mr. Montay. 17:15.040 --> 17:18.040 All right. You count the votes? 17:18.040 --> 17:19.040 Glad to. 17:19.040 --> 17:27.040 Now then, each of you in favor of a verdict of not guilty, raise your right hand. 17:27.040 --> 17:38.040 One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven. 17:38.040 --> 17:41.040 Eleven votes not guilty. 17:41.040 --> 17:46.040 And in favor of a verdict of guilty? 17:46.040 --> 17:51.040 One vote. Eleven to one. Eleven to one. 17:51.040 --> 17:56.040 One hold-up. 17:56.040 --> 18:06.040 And now that you know who it is, Mr. Dunovan, you just see if you can make me change my mind, too. 18:06.040 --> 18:10.040 Now, Mr. Montay, I can't make you change your mind. Only you can do that. 18:10.040 --> 18:12.040 Each of us must vote the way he believes. 18:12.040 --> 18:18.040 I believe that this was a planned and premeditated act of murder, and the evidence proves it. 18:18.040 --> 18:21.040 Well, I didn't want to think so, Mr. Montay. The only hold-up. 18:21.040 --> 18:24.040 You can't say a reasonable doubt doesn't exist. It does. 18:24.040 --> 18:26.040 Bill, how can you say it's guilty? 18:26.040 --> 18:28.040 All of us want to do the right thing. You must be wrong. 18:28.040 --> 18:31.040 We'll be out of here in a minute if you change your verdict, Montay. 18:31.040 --> 18:33.040 I think it's a case of temporary insanity. Clear cut. 18:33.040 --> 18:38.040 Mr. Montay, it isn't a sin to admit that you were wrong. 18:38.040 --> 18:43.040 All of us searched our hearts and realized our mistakes, and we changed our minds. 18:43.040 --> 18:47.040 You changed your minds. You. 18:47.040 --> 18:52.040 Why, your minds were changed for you. You were led like a bunch of blind sheep. 18:52.040 --> 18:56.040 And there is your good shepherd, Mr. Dunovan. 18:56.040 --> 18:58.040 Look, Montay, I don't know what you're talking about. 18:58.040 --> 19:04.040 Oh, I saw you talking to him, confusing him, convincing him that they were wrong before, getting him to change their verdict. 19:04.040 --> 19:07.040 I knew what you were doing, but I couldn't understand why. 19:07.040 --> 19:09.040 You don't know what you're talking about. 19:09.040 --> 19:14.040 No, no, I'm not that talking. I'll admit that. Oh, but you are, Dunovan. 19:14.040 --> 19:17.040 You talk to these people right out of an honest verdict. 19:17.040 --> 19:21.040 You just knew you were right and everybody else had to see it your way. 19:21.040 --> 19:24.040 Oh, don't be ridiculous. Why would I do a thing like that? 19:24.040 --> 19:26.040 Why? That's a good question. 19:26.040 --> 19:30.040 I thought maybe you knew the defendant, a friend of his or something. 19:30.040 --> 19:33.040 Maybe there was something about his wife, but that wasn't it. 19:33.040 --> 19:38.040 You're out of your mind. You think a lot of yourself, don't you? 19:38.040 --> 19:43.040 I've never talked to anybody who used the words I, me, or mine as much as you do. 19:43.040 --> 19:47.040 Oh, I've known men like you before. They think the world revolves around them. 19:47.040 --> 19:50.040 Always think they're right. Never admit they're wrong. 19:50.040 --> 19:51.040 Montay, I've had enough of this. 19:51.040 --> 19:55.040 You'd do anything, Dwell Boyd, admitting that you were wrong, wouldn't you? 19:55.040 --> 19:59.040 My verdict happens to be the right verdict, Montay. You're the only holdout here. 19:59.040 --> 20:02.040 You can't stand being wrong, can you? That's why you made everybody change their mind. 20:02.040 --> 20:05.040 You can't admit that you're wrong, not your kind. 20:05.040 --> 20:09.040 Oh, no, if you did, you'd begin to wonder about other things about yourself, 20:09.040 --> 20:12.040 and you couldn't take that, could you, Donovan? 20:12.040 --> 20:16.040 You can't talk to me that way, you crummy little nobody. I won't have any more of it. Do you understand? 20:16.040 --> 20:19.040 I'm just getting started. I'm going to talk and talk and keep talking 20:19.040 --> 20:21.040 until these people get a chance to do what's right. 20:21.040 --> 20:27.040 You've twisted them around your little finger, made fools of them all, but it's not too late. 20:27.040 --> 20:31.040 And what are you going to do about it, Donovan? 20:31.040 --> 20:33.040 Mr. Montay? 20:33.040 --> 20:34.040 What is it, Bailup? 20:34.040 --> 20:37.040 You folks can go home now. The jury has been dismissed. 20:37.040 --> 20:38.040 What? 20:38.040 --> 20:43.040 Clyde Avery broke down a few minutes ago and pleaded guilty to the charge. 20:43.040 --> 20:47.040 He pleaded guilty? Yep. 20:47.040 --> 20:51.040 Admitted lying on the stand, asked for the court's mercy by confessing. 20:51.040 --> 20:53.040 But he couldn't have. 20:53.040 --> 20:54.040 He did. 20:54.040 --> 20:55.040 But our verdict was... 20:55.040 --> 20:57.040 You won't need it now, lady. 20:57.040 --> 20:59.040 It's all over? 20:59.040 --> 21:05.040 All right. You folks can leave. 21:05.040 --> 21:10.040 Wait. Wait, folks, before you go. Mrs. Carmichael. Mrs. Smith. 21:10.040 --> 21:16.040 Please, folks, let me explain. Miss Keller. Miss Keller, if you'll only let me... 21:16.040 --> 21:22.040 Explain. 21:22.040 --> 21:29.040 You made them all very proud of themselves, Donovan. 21:29.040 --> 21:34.040 Montay, will you admit that you were wrong now, Donovan? 21:34.040 --> 21:44.040 I...I was right. 21:44.040 --> 21:49.040 It was right. It was right. 21:49.040 --> 21:52.040 I was right. I was right. I was right! I was right. I was right!
