You bet. And if Miyamoto there had been in a hurry to cast off, he coulda left this line behind on Carl's boat.
And replaced it later with the new one. That's your inference?
Pretty darn clear.
They were JapaneseAmerican boys, yes sir.
And you were generally experienced in training men for handtohand combat.
It was my specialty, sir, I trained several thousand over the years.
So. Wide crosssection of men to evaluate. And the day that the defendant volunteered for this... demonstration. Did you find him eager?
More than eager. He was out to make a point.
Well, what then, sergeant?
What else? I had the boy teach me kendo. Including...the importance of the bow.
And your evaluation of the defendant? Could he kill a much larger man with a fishing gaff? So quickly, there would be no sign of struggle?
Oh, in a heartbeat.
You don't believe in God anymore.
Agnostics don't believe or disbelieve, Ma. We just don't pretend we know.
I felt Milholland's report in my pocket. And wondered why I wasn't telling her. Telling someone. What I'd found.
You've been busy with that trial, I suppose. Such a travesty...
They only arrested that poor soul because he's Japanese.
Seattle boys think he's guilty. They say the evidence is rock solid.
They're not his neighbor, like you are. He is a husband, a father, he risked his <u>life</u> for <u>their</u> country. The same as you.
Those aren't the facts that matter.
Your father fought at Belleau Wood, it took him years to get over it. Nightmares, tears, b...
...but he found you.
He's still got a good grip. We need to dig more.
At school, she kept mostly to the Japanese kids, and sort of ignored me. As if all of our times alone together...in the hollow cedar, everywhere...were a secret.
I told myself that was good. That it made our friendship special. And didn't mean she was ashamed of it. Necessarily.
Easy. Slow is best.
The best part was that there was a 'this'. To debate the wrongness of.
Your friends would. Your dad would kill me with a machete.
We're Japanese, not Mexican, Ishmael. He'll slice you up with a ceremonial sword.
My mom. Would be the problem.
Why? We're only talking.
I can just feel my spirits soar.
Well, I don't do it for just anybody.
There can't be any wrong in this, Ha...
I lie to my parents every day. And every night.
My father can't get our money from the bank. We have a few dol...
It'll be over soon. I can get you money.
It's just Pearl Harbor. People are a little crazy, right n...
Look at my face. It's the face of the people who did that. My father hardly speaks English. We're in bad trouble, you have to see that.
We all expect the world to be fair. As if we have some right t...
I don't mean everyone. Just people who can do things because they can arrest people or convict them. Or run a newspaper.
I couldn't say anything. I just stood there, hating her.
I'm sorry about your arm. Kabuo and I. Are very sor...
The Japs did it.
I'm married, Ishmael. It isn't right for us to be alone. People will t...
There's no one here, and I've <u>got</u> to talk to you.
You have to hear this, I can never touch you, Ishmael. Not once, not ever. There's no half way. As much as I know it hurts you, you have to let this go.
Look, I <u>want</u> to forget you, I do. I think if you hold me, just this once, I can walk away and never speak to you again.
Did you write that column?
I did. But the jury won't s...
It's not for the. They only get to convict him.
I said 'excited'. Not agitated, he was excited in the sense of being overjoyed.
You were...overjoyed yourself, to hear the news?
Happy for him. And relieved.
So, then, you...and your husband... must have called friends, relatives, to tell them the amazing news. Yes?
We hear how Carl...passed away. Only a few hours later.
Your husband returned at, what, seven o'clock?
Closer to eight.
So, five hours. Plenty of time for a call. He was 'excited', you say. In the sense of being 'overjoyed'.
You thought the deceased might... break his promise?
Of course not. We're just not quick to run and boast. In case something went wrong.
And then, something did. Carl Heine was found dead. With his head crushed.
Yes, and then, what was there to call about? Everything was up in the air.
Up in the air? Was <u>that</u> your reaction?
We discussed that. And decided not to.
Why not?
Because the facts could be misconstrued as murder.
But if truth was on your side, whatever were you worried about?
Trials aren't only about truth, Mr. Hooks. Even though they should be. They're about what people <u>believe</u> is true.
So you hid the truth. Deliberately.
We were afraid. Silence seemed better. To come forward seemed like a mistake.
Well, it seems to me...
Doesn't it seem to <u>you</u>, Mrs. Miyamoto, that your mistake was in being deceitful? Concealing information during the course of a sheriff's investigation.
It seems human. To me.
Question withdrawn, you may step down.
You're implying th...
I said. No further questions.
Now, Mister Gi...
Unwritten rule of the sea. We don't bother each other, stick to ourselves. Ask anybody.
Now if you wanted to kill a man. Think you'd try boarding against his will, and hitting him with a fishing gaff?
It's a joke. Maneuver up to Carl's boat? Tie your lines fast? Come aboard? All against Carl's will? It's the stupidest suggestion I ever heard of.
I'm sorry about that. It wasn't mine in the first place.
So the fishing gaff method wouldn't make sense?
Couldn't get on the boat. I'd just <u>shoot</u> the feller. <u>Then</u> tie up, throw him inta th' drink. And skip bein' the first gillnetter in history to make a successful forced boarding.
Now the sheriff believed that the D6 battery in Carl's well was Carl's own spare. Even though it was too large f...
No sense to have <u>any</u> at all., even the right size. It's like having an extra battery in the trunk of your car. Nobody does.
Boat has two batteries. Lose one you run off the other til morning. Carl musta lost both, so Miyamoto there gave him one a his.
Course, if Carl lost both batteries, dead in the water, his radio wouldn't work. So how would he signal for help?
Compressed air horn, most likely. Hope to God some man hears you in that fog.
All right, what if the defendant <u>heard</u>? So Carl <u>let</u> him aboard, to help. And <u>then</u> the fishing gaff?
You mean Miyamoto followed him out there, and suckerpunched him?
Well, what if?
Now, how is Miyamoto gonna know in <u>advance</u>? That Carl loses two batteries. Must happen once ever' 20 years or so.
Thank you, Mr. Gillanders. Thank you for coming down, in this cold weather.
Well, it does seem mighty warm in here. Specially for Mr. Hooks.
Just three questions. The Miyamoto family bought your seven acres for $4500?
Tried to. Defaulted on their payments.
Second question. What did Ole Jurgensen pay you per acre?
A thousand.
So that makes what would have been $4500 into $7000, doesn't it? If you sent the equity back, you had a profit of $2500.
