NARRATOR

In the waning days of summer 1931, the false calm of Honolulu, Hawai'i, was shattered by a single allegation made by a 20-year-old Navy wife.

1931 年夏末,夏威夷檀香山虚假的平静被一位 20 岁海军妻子的一则指控打破。

DAVID STANNARD, Author, "Honor Killing" : She says she was kidnapped.

大卫·斯坦纳德,《荣誉谋杀》作者:她说她被绑架了。

She was taken to this area down on Ala Moana, dragged in and raped six or seven times.

她被带到阿拉莫阿纳的这个地区,被拖进去强奸了六七次。

This is a total shock, because in the entire history of Hawai'i, as far as anybody has been able to find out, no Hawaiian individually ever assaulted a white woman before.

这真是令人震惊,因为在夏威夷的整个历史上,据任何人所知,以前没有夏威夷人单独袭击过白人妇女。

And here was a gang of them supposedly doing it.

据说这是一群人在做这件事。

COBEY BLACK, Writer : Creating this story caused not only the disruption of the community like no other except Pearl Harbor, but also the death of an innocent young man.

科比·布莱克(COBEY BLACK),作家:创作这个故事不仅对社区造成了除了珍珠港事件之外独一无二的破坏,而且还造成了一名无辜年轻人的死亡。

NARRATOR

The quiet whisper of the initial lie grew to a clangorous din of power politics and racism an ugly noise that resounded through this placid-looking tropical community and then to the marbled echo-chambers of the White House, the War Department, and the United States Senate.

最初的谎言的低语声逐渐演变成强权政治和种族主义的喧嚣,一种丑陋的噪音,响彻这个看似平静的热带社区,然后传到白宫、陆军部和美国参议院的大理石回音室。

The story of the Navy wife and her alleged assailants jumped from the local Hawaiian newspapers to front pages across the United States, fetching the attention of President Herbert Hoover, media baron William Randolph Hearst, and the country's first celebrity attorney, Clarence Darrow.

这位海军妻子和她被指控的袭击者的故事从夏威夷当地报纸登上了美国各地的头版,引起了赫伯特·胡佛总统、媒体大亨威廉·伦道夫·赫斯特和美国第一位名人律师克拉伦斯·达罗的注意。

The proceedings were watched by everyone from the social-register elite in New York, Washington and San Francisco to the working class in Honolulu's low-rent districts.

从纽约、华盛顿和旧金山的社会登记精英到檀香山廉租区的工人阶级,所有人都观看了整个过程。

For anybody who saw it plain, the case revealed cold, hard truths about America...and the people who ruled it.

对于任何看得清清楚楚的人来说,此案揭示了有关美国……以及统治美国的人民的冷酷真相。

NARRATOR

It was already a beautiful escape, this Island city in the middle of the Pacific.

这座位于太平洋中部的岛屿城市,已经是一次美丽的逃离。

Two thousand miles from the California coast, it was America...but with better weather!

距加利福尼亚海岸两千英里,这里是美国……但天气更好!

And it was run by white people, or haoles , as the natives called them.

它是由白人经营的,当地人称他们为“haoles”。

In the summer of 1931, wealthy tourists were gliding into Honolulu Harbor and then on to Waikiki Beach, where the beautiful young Hawaiians stood ready to serve.

1931 年夏天,富有的游客纷纷涌入檀香山港,然后前往威基基海滩,美丽的年轻夏威夷人随时准备为游客服务。

KANALU YOUNG, Historian : If you need an umbrella pitched and speared into the sand, or if you need a cool drink, or if you need to get surfboard lessons or ride a canoe...anything that you need to do that involves frolicking, the Beach Boys are there to satisfy.

KANALU YOUNG,历史学家:如果您需要一把插在沙滩上的雨伞,或者如果您需要一杯清凉饮料,或者如果您需要参加冲浪板课程或乘坐独木舟......任何您需要做的涉及嬉戏的事情,海滩男孩都可以满足您。

And it's said that they certainly did satisfy.

据说他们确实很满意。

NARRATOR

Keeping the tourists satisfied was a job that paid, but there was only so much beach.

让游客满意是一项有报酬的工作,但海滩就那么大。

So most of the working class kept to their own neighborhoods.

所以大多数工人阶级都呆在自己的社区里。

Beyond pool halls and barefoot football there was little to do in those places.

除了台球厅和赤脚足球之外,这些地方没什么可做的。

Young men could scratch up a depression-era job at the nearby docks, or in construction, or at the Dole pineapple cannery; the lucky ones might even pluck one of the plum spots at the police or parks departments, but more and more, those spoils were going to newly-arrived haoles .

年轻人可以在附近的码头、建筑业或都乐菠萝罐头厂找到一份萧条时期的工作;幸运的人甚至可能在警察或公园部门摘到一颗梅花,但越来越多的战利品落入了新来的好人手中。

So most young men in neighborhoods like Kalihi, Palama and Iwilei were at loose ends.

因此,卡利希、帕拉马和伊维雷等社区的大多数年轻人都无所事事。

DAVID STANNARD

These were desperately, desperately poor places.

这些都是非常非常贫穷的地方。

The streets were so narrow you couldn't get a car into them.

街道太窄了,汽车根本开不进去。

They were also where the casual prostitution was so on payday, they were filled with sailors and soldiers who were crawling around looking for a little action.

这里也是临时卖淫的地方,所以在发薪日,那里挤满了水手和士兵,他们爬来爬去寻找一点行动。

This was the community that these guys grew up in.

这就是这些家伙长大的社区。

Without jobs, with a lot of resentment for the military who they saw around them all the time.

没有工作,对周围经常看到的军队充满怨恨。

HAUNANI-KAY TRASK, Writer : There was a real strong sense of racism coming at us from the military.

豪纳尼-凯·特拉斯克(HAUNANI-KAY TRASK),作家:军队中确实存在着强烈的种族主义意识。

They were almost entirely haole young men.

他们几乎都是好青年。

And a lot of them were Southern.

其中很多人都是南方人。

So they had this idea that Hawaiians shouldn't be out and about, having a government, having a good time in Honolulu.

所以他们有这样的想法:夏威夷人不应该出去走动,有政府,在檀香山度过愉快的时光。

NARRATOR

Dark-skinned men frolicking in public with white women was too much for many soldiers and sailors.

对于许多士兵和水手来说,深色皮肤的男人在公共场合与白人妇女嬉戏是难以承受的。

And the military men knew when they were being made fun of by the beach crowd at Waikiki.

当威基基的海滩人群嘲笑他们时,军人就知道了。

But locals didn't push too far; there were simply too many servicemen for safety.

但当地人并没有逼得太紧。出于安全考虑,军人太多了。

In 1931, there were 20,000 in the Islands...and more were on the way.

1931 年,群岛上有 20,000 人……而且还有更多人正在赶来的路上。

Any Saturday night Honolulu's streets, speakeasies and restaurants were crawling with off-duty soldiers and sailors.

每周六晚上,檀香山的街道、地下酒吧和餐馆都挤满了下班的士兵和水手。

On September 12, 1931, a Kentucky-born Annapolis graduate named Thomas Massie and his 20-year-old wife, Thalia, were among the Navy crowd at a Honolulu nightspot called the Ala Wai Inn.

1931 年 9 月 12 日,肯塔基州出生的安纳波利斯毕业生托马斯·马西 (Thomas Massie) 和他 20 岁的妻子塔莉亚 (Thalia) 与海军人群一起来到檀香山一家名为阿拉威旅馆 (Ala Wai Inn) 的夜总会。

The Lt.

中尉。

had insisted they go, and she was not happy to be there.

坚持要他们去,而她不高兴在那里。

COBEY BLACK

She was from a privileged family and I think she felt she was perhaps slightly socially superior and didn't like to mix too much with the Navy crowd.

她来自一个特权家庭,我认为她觉得自己在社会上可能稍微优越一些,并且不喜欢与海军人群过多地交往。

DAVID STANNARD

Other people in the military would complain that she would go to parties, with Tommy, they would fight.

军队里的其他人会抱怨她会去参加聚会,和汤米一起,他们会打架。

She would bite him, throw things, and then storm out into the night.

她会咬他,扔东西,然后冲进夜色中。

He had told her recently that he wanted a divorce.

他最近告诉她他想离婚。

She was terribly upset about the possibility of the divorce and so she had agreed to a compromise.

她对离婚的可能性感到非常不安,所以她同意妥协。

He would put her on probation and if she didn't behave properly, then she would go home to her parents.

他会让她缓刑,如果她表现不佳,她就会回家见父母。

She didn't want to go to that dance, um, but she agreed to try to keep their marriage together.

她不想去参加那个舞会,嗯,但她同意努力维持他们的婚姻。

COBEY BLACK

That night she wandered from room to room and wasn't always welcomed.

那天晚上,她从一个房间走到另一个房间,并不总是受到欢迎。

In fact, there was an incident in which one of the Naval officers told her she wasn't popular.

事实上,在一次事件中,一名海军军官告诉她,她不受欢迎。

And she slapped him.

她打了他一巴掌。

And she walked out into the night before the party was over.

聚会结束前,她走进了夜色中。

She walked in an area that had a rather unsavory reputation.

她走过的地方名声不太好。

And, um, somebody did see her.

而且,嗯,确实有人看到了她。

And two people said that she was being followed by a haole man.

还有两个人说她被一个好男人跟踪了。

DAVID STANNARD

Tommy, meanwhile, pretty much didn't notice that she was even gone.

与此同时,汤米几乎没有注意到她已经走了。

This was something she did all the time.

这是她一直在做的事情。

So he didn't pay much attention to it until 1 o'clock when everybody was finally breaking up and he decided to make a phone call to her at home, just see if she's there.

所以他也没太在意这件事,直到凌晨一点,大家终于散了,他决定给家里的她打个电话,看看她在不在。

And she was not there.

而她不在那儿。

NARRATOR

It was nearly two o'clock in the morning, and nearly two hours after she'd stormed out of the Ala Wai, when Tommie finally got her on the phone.

当汤米终于给她打电话时,已经是凌晨两点了,也就是她冲出阿拉威酒店近两个小时后。

She was hysterical and begged him to hurry home.

她歇斯底里地求他赶紧回家。

And when he arrived, she told him she'd been assaulted.

当他到达时,她告诉他她遭到了袭击。

Over her objections, Thomas Massie called the police.

托马斯·马西不顾她的反对,报了警。

When the first patrolmen arrived, Thalia Massie was visibly drunk, and she'd been badly beaten: her lip was busted, her jaw swollen.

当第一批巡逻人员到达时,塔莉亚·马西明显喝醉了,她被殴打得很厉害:嘴唇被打破,下巴肿胀。

She told officers that shortly after she'd walked out of the Ala Wai she'd been hauled into a car, driven down Ala Moana Boulevard, beaten, dragged into the brush, and raped by four or five men.

她告诉警察,在她走出阿拉威后不久,她就被拖进一辆汽车,沿着阿拉莫阿纳大道行驶,遭到四五个男子的殴打、拖入灌木丛中并强奸。

DAVID STANNARD

They say, "Would you be able to recognize them?" She said, "Absolutely not.

他们说:“你能认出他们吗?”她说:“绝对不是。

It was pitch dark." She said, "I could not recognize them if I saw them again." They said, "Could you describe the car?" She said, "No, it was, again, too dark."

当时一片漆黑。”她说:“如果我再看到他们,我就认不出他们了。”他们说:“你能描述一下这辆车吗?”她说:“不,还是太黑了。”

COBEY BLACK

She couldn't decide who, what nationality the boys were; she thought they were Hawaiians.

她无法决定这些男孩是谁、是什么国籍;她以为他们是夏威夷人。

She said no recollection of the license plate, or what the vehicle looked like except that she said it had a flapping top.

她说不记得车牌,也不记得这辆车的样子,只是说它有一个可以拍打的车顶。

NARRATOR

As Thalia was making her initial statements, another report was making its way through police headquarters.

当塔莉亚发表初步声明时,警察总部收到了另一份报告。

Shortly after midnight, an Hawaiian woman and her haole husband had had a near-collision with a carload of young men.

午夜过后不久,一名夏威夷妇女和她的好丈夫险些与一车年轻男子相撞。

In the argument that followed, one of the men had slapped the woman.

在随后的争吵中,其中一名男子打了这名女子一巴掌。

When she'd called to report the incident, she gave police the license plate number of the car.

当她打电话报告这一事件时,她向警方提供了汽车的车牌号码。

Chief of Detectives John McIntosh reckoned that these were the same young men who had assaulted Mrs. Massie.

侦探局长约翰·麦金托什认为这些年轻人正是袭击马西夫人的年轻人。

Within twelve hours, police had rounded up five suspects, all from the Kalihi-Palama area: the driver Horace Ida, and David Takai were from Japanese families, Henry Chang was Hawaiian Chinese, and Ben Ahakuelo and Joseph Kahahawai were Hawaiians.

不到十二个小时,警方就逮捕了五名嫌疑人,他们都来自卡利希-帕拉马地区:司机霍勒斯·伊达(Horace Ida)和大卫·高井(David Takai)来自日本家庭,亨利·张(Henry Chang)是夏威夷华人,本·阿库埃洛(Ben Ahakuelo)和约瑟夫·卡哈夏威夷(Joseph Kahahawai)是夏威夷人。

The five young men were no angels.

这五个年轻人并不是天使。

They'd all been drinking the night of September 12, and the hot-tempered Joe Kahahawai had, in fact, cuffed the Hawaiian woman who made the complaint.

9 月 12 日晚上,他们都在喝酒,脾气暴躁的乔·卡哈夏威夷实际上给提出投诉的夏威夷妇女戴上了手铐。

But now they were in real peril, because by the time police began questioning the five young men, Thalia

但现在他们面临着真正的危险,因为当警察开始审问这五名年轻人时,塔利亚

Massie was claiming she knew the license plate number of her assailant's car...and it nearly matched Horace Ida's.

马西声称她知道袭击者汽车的车牌号……而且几乎与霍勒斯·艾达的车牌号相符。

Didn't matter that the car Ida was driving had no flapping top, or that Thalia's doctors knew her vision was so bad she could barely see in the light of day.

不管艾达开的车没有可翻动的车顶,也不管塔莉亚的医生知道她的视力很差,她在白天几乎看不到东西。

By then, Mrs. Massie's ugly story had gone all the way up the line to the Commandant of the 14th Naval District, Admiral Yates Stirling and there was no turning back.

那时,马西夫人的丑闻已经一路传到了第十四海军区司令、海军上将耶茨·斯特林那里,再也没有回头路了。

COBEY BLACK

Admiral Stirling was just indignant, in fact, wrathful at what had happened and believed her story completely.

斯特林海军上将只是对所发生的事情感到愤怒,事实上,他完全相信了她的故事。

AH QUON MCELRATH

He felt that there was white womanhood which was at stake and that anyone who tampered with it, who destroyed it, should probably be destroyed themselves.

他觉得白人女性身份正处于危险之中,任何篡改它、摧毁它的人,很可能都应该被摧毁。

DAVID STANNARD

The word is already out that these guys have been caught.

有消息称这些人已被抓获。

They, they don't care whether these are the right guys or not.

他们,他们不在乎这些人是否合适。

His first reaction, as he wrote himself, was that we should string them up, string them up on trees.

正如他自己所写的那样,他的第一反应是我们应该把它们串起来,串在树上。

The first newspaper stories do not name Thalia.

第一份报纸报道没有提到塔莉亚的名字。

But she is characterized in the first breaking stories in the Advertiser and the Star Bulletin almost word for word as a white woman of culture and refinement.

但《广告人》和《明星公报》的第一批突发新闻几乎一字不差地把她描绘成一位有文化、有教养的白人女性。

They are described in a subhead as fiends.

他们在小标题中被描述为恶魔。

And then subsequently as gangsters, uh this and that, with criminal records.

然后随后成为黑帮,呃这个那个,有犯罪记录。

Their mug shots, uh, are put up quickly into the newspapers and again and again their addresses are also, are also printed.

他们的照片,呃,很快就被登在报纸上,他们的地址也一次又一次地被印出来。

KANALU YOUNG

They were demonized.

他们被妖魔化了。

They were treated as if there was nothing redeemably good about any of them.

他们受到的对待就好像他们中的任何一个人都没有什么可赎回的好处一样。

NARRATOR

With the Navy breathing down his neck, Chief of Detectives McIntosh was much relieved to have plausible suspects, and he had no interest in listening to the patrolmen who were uncomfortable with Mrs. Massie's strange and sudden retrieval of memory...or those suspicious of the haole man seen following Thalia and the drunken Navy Lt.

在海军的监视下,麦金托什警长因找到了可信的嫌疑人而松了口气,他没有兴趣听那些对马西夫人奇怪而突然的记忆恢复感到不安的巡警的说法……或者对跟踪塔莉亚和醉酒的海军中尉的那个哈勒人持怀疑态度的人。

found wandering a few blocks from the Massie home as she was making her first report.

当她第一次报告时,发现她在距离马西家几个街区的地方徘徊。

And McIntosh showed little interest in the patrolmen who knew that officers had fed the Massies the license plate number of the suspect car.

麦金托什对巡逻人员没有什么兴趣,因为他们知道警察已经向马西人提供了可疑汽车的车牌号。

DAVID STANNARD

McIntosh and a few of his supporters, essentially tried to frame the five men that they had arrested, running them through pseudo line-ups that didn't include anybody except the suspects themselves and telling Thalia Massie in advance that these are the suspects.

麦金托什和他的一些支持者本质上是试图陷害他们逮捕的五名男子,让他们通过伪阵容,除了嫌疑人本人之外不包括任何人,并提前告诉塔利亚·马西这些人就是嫌疑人。

COBEY BLACK

I mean this is police procedure that's not only outdated, it's not even proper.

我的意思是,这是警察的程序,不仅过时,甚至不正确。

They took the car down for example and tried to trace the tire marks and completely obliterated any that were there, they drove the car around so much.

例如,他们把车开下来,试图追踪轮胎痕迹,并完全消除那里的任何痕迹,他们开着车到处转。

DAVID STANNARD

There was a very, very strong split in the department.

该部门内部存在非常非常严重的分歧。

A lot of detectives who were themselves Hawaiian, they began leaking information that was contrary to the prosecution to sympathetic newspapers and specifically to the attorneys who had been hired to represent these five young men.

许多侦探本身就是夏威夷人,他们开始向同情的报纸,特别是被聘请代表这五名年轻人的律师泄露与起诉相反的信息。

NARRATOR

Thalia's name had been kept out of the papers, but there was plenty of talk around town about her drinking, her wild behavior, her extramarital affairs.

塔莉亚的名字没有出现在报纸上,但镇上却有很多关于她酗酒、狂野行为和婚外情的议论。

Fortunately for Thalia, her mother had arrived from New York.

对于塔莉亚来说幸运的是,她的母亲从纽约赶来。

And Grace Hubbard Bell Fortescue didn't intend to stand by and watch her family's good name dragged through the mud, because in 1931, her reputation was about all Grace Fortescue had left.

格蕾丝·哈伯德·贝尔·福蒂斯丘 (Grace Hubbard Bell Fortescue) 并不打算袖手旁观,眼睁睁地看着她家族的好名声被拖入泥沼,因为在 1931 年,她的声誉几乎是格蕾丝·福蒂斯丘 (Grace Fortescue) 所剩无几。

DAVID STANNARD

Grace Fortescue had come from a family of great wealth and great power and great social respectability.

格蕾丝·福蒂斯丘出身于一个拥有巨大财富、权力和社会威望的家庭。

Alexander Graham Bell was her uncle.

亚历山大·格雷厄姆·贝尔是她的叔叔。

Her father, Charles Bell was a millionaire banker.

她的父亲查尔斯·贝尔是一位百万富翁银行家。

Hubbard, the other side of the family, was the first president of Bell Telephone, founder of the National Geographic Society.

哈伯德是家族的另一边,是贝尔电话公司的首任总裁、国家地理学会的创始人。

She had thought she was marrying into the same thing and she was not.

她原以为自己会嫁给同样的人,但事实并非如此。

Her husband, Roly Fortescue, had squandered what was a reasonable inheritance and then refused to work, believing he was going to get another enormous inheritance at some point and he would just wait for it.

她的丈夫罗利·福蒂斯丘 (Roly Fortescue) 挥霍了一份合理的遗产,然后拒绝工作,相信他会在某个时候获得另一笔巨额遗产,而他只会等待。

She had very little money.

她的钱很少。

They were living literally hand to mouth.

他们过着勉强糊口的生活。

Grace actually wound up teaching bridge to neighbors and friends as a way to raise money.

事实上,格蕾丝开始向邻居和朋友教授桥牌,以此来筹集资金。

At one point, she rented an apartment and the guy had to ask her to leave because she wasn't paying the rent.

有一次,她租了一套公寓,那家伙不得不让她离开,因为她没有付房租。

But she continued to maintain this face that she was a Hubbard.

但她继续保持着自己是哈伯德家族的面孔。

She was a Bell.

她是一个贝尔。

NARRATOR

Where Thalia was involved, maintaining the family reputation had always been a chore for Grace.

在涉及塔莉亚的地方,维护家族声誉对格蕾丝来说一直是一件苦差事。

Her eldest daughter was ungovernable, hungry for attention, and lacking in discretion.

她的大女儿难以管教,渴望得到关注,而且缺乏判断力。

Earlier that summer, Thalia had unburdened herself to a University of Hawai'i psychologist who was making a study of sex and marriage.

那年夏天早些时候,塔莉亚向夏威夷大学一位正在研究性与婚姻的心理学家倾诉了自己的心声。

DAVID STANNARD

He gave her a battery of tests.

他给了她一系列测试。

They ask for you to write out your thoughts in long hand.

他们要求你用长笔写下你的想法。

Thalia poured out her thoughts about her hateful marriage, gave them to the psychologist, he filed them and then he counseled her, two counseling sessions.

塔莉亚倾诉了她对可恶的婚姻的想法,把它们交给了心理学家,他把它们归档,然后给她提供了两次咨询。

He then called her husband Tommy and said, "This is beyond my competence.

然后他打电话给她的丈夫汤米说:“这超出了我的能力范围。

She needs serious psychiatric help and I really urge you to get it."

她需要认真的精神科帮助,我真的强烈建议你去接受。”

COBEY BLACK

Thalia was a very sensitive young woman and had a vivid imagination, I think.

我认为塔莉亚是一位非常敏感的年轻女性,想象力丰富。

And, um, perhaps even delusions that were seriously psychopathic.

而且,嗯,甚至可能是严重精神病态的妄想。

NARRATOR

Her sensational allegations had made Thalia the center of attention, and she seemed to revel in it.

她的耸人听闻的指控让塔莉亚成为了人们关注的焦点,而她似乎对此很陶醉。

When the trial opened in November of 1931, her testimony was graphic, and riveting.

1931 年 11 月审判开始时,她的证词生动且引人入胜。

She identified her assailants by name, and lied about having been impregnated...but there was little if any evidence to corroborate her story.

她说出了袭击者的名字,并谎称自己怀孕了……但几乎没有任何证据可以证实她的故事。

Physicians who examined Thalia found no evidence of rape; independent witnesses had seen the five defendants miles from Ala Moana when the attack was alleged to have occurred.

医生对塔利亚进行了检查,没有发现任何强奸的证据;据称袭击发生时,独立目击者在距离阿拉莫阿纳数英里的地方看到了五名被告。

The jury didn't know which side to believe, and couldn't agree on a verdict.

陪审团不知道该相信哪一方,也无法就裁决达成一致。

The judge was forced to declare a mistrial and to set the defendants free pending re-trial.

法官被迫宣布审判无效,并释放被告等待重审。

When Admiral Yates Stirling heard the news he was apoplectic.

当耶茨·斯特林海军上将听到这个消息时,他感到非常愤怒。

The way he saw it, the mistrial was a public shaming of a Naval officer and his wife.

在他看来,审判无效是对一名海军军官及其妻子的公开羞辱。

And the Admiral meant to do something about it.

海军上将打算对此采取行动。

KANALU YOUNG

Stirling was like most military officers.

斯特林和大多数军官一样。

This was a tour of duty.

这是一次执勤。

This was a place where you were assigned to do a job.

这是你被指派去做工作的地方。

And the interests of the U.S. in the Pacific were your primary, often sole objective.

美国在太平洋地区的利益是你的首要目标,通常也是唯一目标。

So there was no real regard on his part through his military role for the civilian population.

因此,他的军事角色并没有真正尊重平民。

DAVID STANNARD

Yates Stirling has utter contempt for people of color.

耶茨·斯特林极度蔑视有色人种。

He bragged in his, um, autobiography about the mass killing they did when they were in the Philippines.

他在他的自传中吹嘘了他们在菲律宾时进行的大规模屠杀。

Um, he was a white supremacist.

嗯,他是一个白人至上主义者。

He had contempt for the idea, as he put it, that people became American citizens, whatever their color just because they happened to be born in Hawai'i.

正如他所说,他鄙视这样的想法,即人们无论肤色如何,仅仅因为他们碰巧出生在夏威夷就成为美国公民。

NARRATOR

Of the 370,000 people living in Hawai'i in 1931, only twenty percent were Stirling's white brethren.

1931 年,夏威夷有 370,000 人,其中只有 20% 是斯特林的白人弟兄。

More than half descended from the thousands of Asians the haole elite had imported to work cheap.

其中一半以上是浩乐精英为了廉价工作而进口的数千名亚洲人的后裔。

The Japanese population alone was 150,000 and growing...and that was the Navy's real concern.

仅日本人口就有 15 万,并且还在不断增长……这才是海军真正关心的问题。

An expansionist Japan was beginning to look like a serious threat to U.S. interests in the Pacific.

奉行扩张主义的日本开始看起来对美国在太平洋地区的利益构成严重威胁。

War planners recognized that maintaining control of Hawai'i was key to maintaining power in the entire region...and maintaining control in the Islands fell to Admiral Stirling.

战争策划者认识到,维持对夏威夷的控制是维持整个地区权力的关键……而维持对群岛的控制权落到了斯特林海军上将的肩上。

So he pushed hard for a new trial and a conviction in the Massie case.

因此,他极力推动对马西案进行新的审判和定罪。

"Quick action...was necessary," wrote the Admiral, "...if the prestige of the whites in Hawai'i was to be preserved."

这位海军上将写道:“如果要维护白人在夏威夷的威望,就必须迅速采取行动。”

As prosecutor's prepared for a second trial, Hawaiian Princess Abigail Kawananakoa asked the entire community to put its faith in the American system of justice.

在检察官准备第二次审判时,夏威夷公主阿比盖尔·卡瓦纳纳科亚 (Abigail Kawananakoa) 要求整个社区相信美国的司法体系。

"Guilt or innocence," she said, "must be determined by due process of law." Still, many in Hawai'i found it hard to trust in any system devised and run by haoles .

“有罪还是无罪,”她说,“必须通过正当法律程序来决定。”尽管如此,夏威夷的许多人发现很难相信由 haole 设计和运行的任何系统。

AH QUON MCELRATH

Let's face it, we were all given the basic lessons in history that the U.S. Constitution guarantees that you will have these freedoms.

让我们面对现实吧,我们都从历史中吸取了基本教训,美国宪法保证您将拥有这些自由。

And it was augmented by the addition of the Bill of Rights.

权利法案的加入进一步增强了它的内容。

And, we're not dummies after all.

而且,我们毕竟不是傻瓜。

We could see that we did not, in fact, have all of the rights that were supposed to be due us.

我们可以看到,事实上我们并没有拥有我们应得的所有权利。

NARRATOR

Though the haoles who ruled Hawai'i in 1931 fancied one another fair-minded, paternalistic and generous, it wasn't generosity that had assured them lives of colonial luxury and near complete social control.

尽管 1931 年统治夏威夷的哈奥雷人都认为彼此公正、家长作风且慷慨,但并不是慷慨才保证了他们过着殖民时期的奢华生活和近乎完全的社会控制。

The first white Americans to settle in the Islands arrived in the 1820s intent on Christianizing aboriginal Hawaiians; they soon decided it was the Lord's will that they husband the Hawaiian lands to profitability.

第一批在群岛定居的美国白人于 1820 年代抵达,意图使夏威夷原住民基督教化;他们很快就认定,上帝的旨意是让他们利用夏威夷的土地来盈利。

The haoles convinced the Hawaiian monarch to introduce private land ownership, then took the best for themselves, turning much of it to the cash crop of sugar.

哈奥勒人说服夏威夷君主引入私人土地所有权,然后将最好的土地据为己有,将其中的大部分转化为经济作物糖。

They built their fortunes on the backs of cheap labor, with government assistance.

他们在政府的援助下依靠廉价劳动力积累了财富。

In return for the right to export sugar to the U.S. without tariffs, they gave the States a military base in the Islands.

作为对美国免关税出口糖的权利的回报,他们在群岛上为美国提供了一个军事基地。

In 1893, with the help of the United States Marines, Sanford B.

1893 年,在美国海军陆战队的帮助下,桑福德 B.

Dole and other haole planters overthrew Hawai'i's Queen, ended the decades-old democratic constitutional monarchy, established the new Republic of Hawai'i and, five years later, convinced Congress to annex the Islands, making Hawai'i a U.S. Territory.

多尔和其他好勒种植园主推翻了夏威夷女王,结束了长达数十年的民主君主立宪制,建立了新的夏威夷共和国,并在五年后说服国会吞并群岛,使夏威夷成为美国领土。

KANALU YOUNG

When the flag of the Hawaiian people, Hawaiian nation came down in 1898, there was an amazing wailing.

1898年,当夏威夷人民、夏威夷民族的旗帜降下时,响起了令人惊叹的哀嚎。

It was Hawaiian people expressing in a Hawaiian way their disfavor for what has happened because they had done everything in their power not to become annexed, not to become a part of the United States of America.

夏威夷人民以夏威夷的方式表达了他们对所发生的事情的不满,因为他们已尽一切努力不被吞并,不成为美利坚合众国的一部分。

And failing all of that, they reverted right back to tradition to express for the last time an emotional side of that political choice which was the Lamentation Chant, the auwe...

如果这一切都失败了,他们又回到了传统,最后一次表达了政治选择的情感方面,即哀歌,auwe...

HAUNANI-KAY TRASK

They come as missionaries as we say, tell Hawaiians to look up in the sky to God while they're taking all of our land.

正如我们所说,他们作为传教士而来,告诉夏威夷人在他们占领我们所有的土地时仰望天空仰望上帝。

At the overthrow and annexation, they took, you know, hundreds of thousands of acres of our public lands.

在推翻和吞并时,他们夺走了我们数十万英亩的公共土地。

They called them ceded lands, which they weren't really ceded.

他们称这些土地为割让地,但其实他们并没有真正割让这些土地。

They were stolen.

它们被偷了。

Those were all the government lands of the kingdom.

这些都是王国的政府土地。

So, we were not only afraid of haoles .

所以,我们不仅仅害怕 haole。

We didn't like them...

我们不喜欢他们...

NARRATOR

How native Hawaiians saw their history was of little consequence to Stirling, and how they felt was of none.

对于斯特林来说,夏威夷原住民如何看待他们的历史并不重要,他们的感受也不重要。

In the wake of the Massie mistrial, the Admiral's chief concern was the pride and prestige of the U.S. Navy.

马西审判无效后,这位海军上将最关心的是美国海军的自豪感和威望。

When a group of sailors grabbed Horace Ida and tried to force a confession by whipping him with belt buckles, Stirling was philosophical.

当一群水手抓住霍勒斯·艾达并试图用皮带扣鞭打他迫使他认罪时,斯特林表现得很有哲理。

I was surprised that Ida came off with nothing worse than a severe beating.

令我惊讶的是,艾达没有受到比严厉殴打更严重的惩罚。

Honolulu detectives asked Stirling to help them identify the men who had beaten Ida, but he stonewalled.

檀香山侦探要求斯特林帮助他们找出殴打艾达的人,但他拒绝了。

The Admiral then embarked on a stunning offensive: in an official report that landed in the U.S. Congress, Stirling made a series of wildly false charges: non-white jurors refused to convict their own, he claimed.

随后,这位海军上将发起了一场令人震惊的攻势:在提交给美国国会的一份官方报告中,斯特林提出了一系列极其虚假的指控:他声称,非白人陪审员拒绝对自己的人定罪。

The mixed-race Hawaiian legislature lacked proper control.

混血夏威夷立法机构缺乏适当的控制。

Gangsters ran rampant in Honolulu.

檀香山黑帮猖獗。

Sex crimes went unpunished.

性犯罪没有受到惩罚。

White women lived under a constant threat.

白人妇女生活在持续的威胁之下。

DAVID STANNARD

Admiral Stirling filed a report that said there had been 40 rapes in Honolulu in the past year.

斯特林上将提交的一份报告称,去年檀香山发生了 40 起强奸案。

There had not been 40 rapes in Honolulu.

檀香山还没有发生 40 起强奸案。

But that became the chant.

但这成了口号。

That became the number that was used in newspapers and in radio broadcasts, news broadcast and so on, all over the country.

这个号码后来成为全国各地报纸、广播、新闻广播等使用的号码。

The haole elite in Hawai'i are stunned.

夏威夷的豪乐精英们都惊呆了。

Everything is falling apart here.

这里的一切都在崩溃。

They were dependent on tourism.

他们依赖旅游业。

They were dependent on sugar exports and all the details that are involved with dealing with Congress on that which is a lot of Southerners were unhappy with the racial situation in Hawai'i and now are outraged at the racial situation in Hawai'i.

他们依赖糖出口,以及与国会打交道所涉及的所有细节,许多南方人对夏威夷的种族状况不满意,现在对夏威夷的种族状况感到愤怒。

The march of progress is again in evidence this morning.

今天早上,进展再次显现出来。

In the establishment...

在该机构...

NARRATOR

Minimizing the damage fell to Territorial Governor Lawrence Judd.

将损失降到最低的任务落到了领地总督劳伦斯·贾德的肩上。

A scion of one of the oldest missionary families in Hawai'i, Judd had been appointed by President Herbert Hoover, at the recommendation of the haole business leaders...who counted on him to keep both government and commerce running smoothly.

贾德是夏威夷最古老的传教士家族之一的后裔,在豪尔商界领袖的推荐下,由赫伯特·胡佛总统任命……他们指望他能够保持政府和商业的顺利运转。

The Governor made public promises to clean house at the Honolulu police department and prosecutor's office, but it wasn't near enough for Navy brass.

州长公开承诺清理檀香山警察局和检察官办公室,但对海军高层来说这还不够。

From Washington, the Chief of Naval Operations issued a double-barrel threat: first that the Navy would cancel shore leave during the upcoming Fleet maneuvers, costing Honolulu businessmen millions...and second, that Navy men would be within their rights to exact revenge on Mrs. Massie's assailants.

来自华盛顿的海军作战部长发出了双重威胁:首先,海军将在即将举行的舰队演习期间取消上岸休假,这将给檀香山商人造成数百万美元的损失……其次,海军人员将有权对马西夫人的袭击者进行报复。

The local chamber of commerce fell in line in a hurry, offering a five thousand dollar reward for help in convicting Thalia's alleged attackers.

当地商会急忙悬赏五千美元,以期帮助对塔利亚的袭击者定罪。

But the prosecutor's office was unable to turn up anything new.

但检察官办公室无法提供任何新信息。

DAVID STANNARD

They figured the only way that they're going to get new evidence is to get one of the defendants to confess and turn state's evidence against the others.

他们认为获得新证据的唯一方法是让其中一名被告认罪,并利用州政府提供的证据来反驳其他人。

They took Ben Ahakuelo aside and said, "Ben look, if you will turn state's evidence, we can essentially give you a free ride out of here and you'll collect the $5,000." He says, "Absolutely not.

他们把 Ben Ahakuelo 拉到一边说:“Ben,如果你愿意提供国家证据,我们基本上可以免费让你离开这里,然后你就可以拿到 5,000 美元。”他说:“绝对不是。

We did not do it."

我们没有这样做。”

NARRATOR

New Year's 1932, two months after the mistrial, a retrial was still not on the court docket.

1932 年新年,即无效审判两个月后,法庭上仍然没有重审。

Some of Tommie Massie's fellow officers wondered why the lieutenant hadn't avenged his wife; the longer he waited, the more people in Honolulu chattered about Thalia Massie and her lack of character.

汤米·马西的一些同事想知道为什么中尉没有为他的妻子报仇。他等的时间越长,檀香山的人们就越多地谈论塔莉亚·马西和她缺乏个性。

Grace Fortescue, for one, couldn't stand it any longer.

格蕾丝·福蒂斯丘(Grace Fortescue)就是其中之一,她再也无法忍受了。

DAVID STANNARD

By January 8th, she is decided that the only way to satisfactorily save her daughter's reputation and get a conviction in a second trial is to get a confession out of one of these people.

1 月 8 日,她决定,要圆满挽救女儿的声誉并在二审中定罪,唯一的方法就是让其中一个人招供。

So Grace Fortescue devises a plan.

因此格蕾丝·福蒂斯丘制定了一个计划。

NARRATOR

Grace ran the show, with help from Tommie and two sailors he recruited: Albert Jones and Edward Lord.

格蕾丝在汤米和他招募的两名水手阿尔伯特·琼斯和爱德华·洛德的帮助下主持了这场演出。

She stalked the five defendants, learned they had to report to a bail officer at the courthouse...and in front of the judiciary building, in broad daylight, they forced Joseph Kahahawai into a rented limousine.

她跟踪五名被告,得知他们必须向法院的保释官报到……光天化日之下,他们在司法大楼前强迫约瑟夫·卡哈哈瓦伊进入一辆租来的豪华轿车。

COBEY BLACK

They uh, took him up to Mrs. Fortescue's home in Manoa Valley and sat him down and questioned him and threatened him and said, "You'll get the same treatment that we gave Horace Ida."

他们呃,带他到福蒂斯丘夫人在马诺阿谷的家,让他坐下来审问他,威胁他说,“你会得到我们给霍勒斯·艾达的同样待遇。”

DAVID STANNARD

They have him under threat of a gun.

他们用枪威胁他。

And they demand that he confess.

他们要求他认罪。

At a certain point, one of them pulled the trigger and shot Joseph Kahahawai dead.

在某个时刻,其中一人扣动了扳机,射杀了约瑟夫·卡哈夏威夷。

It was a single bullet to his lung and he bled to death.

一颗子弹射中了他的肺部,他失血过多而死。

COBEY BLACK

They made no effort to save him.

他们没有做出任何努力来拯救他。

They wrapped him in a sheet and put him in the touring car and, uh, in which they had abducted him, and they, uh, took him out toward the Blow Hole with the intention of throwing him overboard.

他们用床单把他包裹起来,放进旅行车里,呃,他们在车上绑架了他,然后他们,呃,把他带到了气孔,打算把他扔到船上。

DAVID STANNARD

If they can dump the body off the cliff there, it'll smash on the rocks and essentially disappear into the ocean.

如果他们能把尸体从悬崖上扔下去,尸体就会撞到岩石上,然后消失在大海里。

In the meantime, however, the police have picked up the word that there's been a kidnapping and they're on the lookout for this car.

然而与此同时,警方得知发生了一起绑架案,他们正在寻找这辆车。

What Mrs. Fortescue has done to prevent anybody from seeing the body in the backseat is that she's pulled down the shades in the car, which becomes a key to there's something wrong with that car.

为了防止任何人看到后座上的尸体,福蒂斯丘夫人所做的就是拉下车内的遮阳帘,这成为了那辆车出问题的关键。

One of the policemen out on his motorcycle has a description of the car, sees that car and he gives chase.

一名骑摩托车的警察描述了这辆车,看到那辆车后就开始追赶。

Others join the chase and eventually they drive the car off the road and discover Joseph Kahahawai's body in the backseat.

其他人也加入了追逐,最终他们把车开出了公路,并在后座上发现了约瑟夫·卡哈哈维的尸体。

COBEY BLACK

Grace stepped out of the car as though she were stepping into a ballroom.

格蕾丝下了车,就像走进舞厅一样。

She had absolutely no conscience about what had happened.

她对所发生的事情完全没有良心。

And, in her heart, felt she was totally justified, in I guess, in lynching her daughter's assailant.

而且,在她心里,我觉得她对袭击她女儿的人实施私刑是完全正当的。

NARRATOR

At the scene of her arrest, and later at police headquarters, Grace refused to answer questions.

在被捕现场以及后来在警察总部,格蕾丝拒绝回答问题。

Thalia was not so discreet: "I'm sorry this man has been shot," she told reporters, "but it was no more than he deserved." Within hours of the arrest, news of Kahahawai's murder was hitting the mainland.

塔利亚则没有那么谨慎:“我很抱歉这个人被枪杀了,”她告诉记者,“但这不过是他应得的。”被捕后几个小时内,卡哈夏威夷被谋杀的消息就传遍了大陆。

Editors recognized it right away: this was a story that would sell millions.

编辑们立刻就意识到了这一点:这是一个可以卖出数百万美元的故事。

Crime, race, sex, politics.

犯罪、种族、性、政治。

Rich society dame standing up to her daughter's assailants...Didn't even have to be accurate.

富有的社会贵妇勇敢地面对袭击她女儿的人……甚至不需要准确。

Their readers knew nothing of Hawai'i.

他们的读者对夏威夷一无所知。

DAVID STANNARD

Although the newspapers, routinely, all over the country, described the killing of Kahahawai as a lynching, they then proceeded in the text of their articles, to justify the lynching.

尽管全国各地的报纸通常将卡哈夏威夷被杀描述为私刑,但他们随后在文章中继续为私刑辩护。

A woman's honor was at stake and what a husband does in defense of his wife's honor, even if it involves murder, is justified.

妇女的荣誉受到威胁,丈夫为捍卫妻子的荣誉所做的一切,即使涉及谋杀,也是正当的。

And that became the drumbeat throughout the country, on the radio, in the newspapers, in magazines.

这成为全国各地广播、报纸、杂志上的鼓点。

NARRATOR

Telegrams of support came from Grace's well-connected circle of friends: the daughters of Congressmen, socialite families in New York, Washington and Philadelphia and powerful press barons like Joe Patterson, whose New York Daily News called Hawai'i a "melting pot peril." Grace's family conferred with friends and classmates in the U.S. Congress and the War Department.

格蕾丝的朋友圈里人脉广泛,纷纷发来支持的电报:国会议员的女儿,纽约、华盛顿和费城的名流家庭,以及像乔·帕特森这样有权有势的新闻大亨,他的《纽约每日新闻》称夏威夷是一个“熔炉危险”。格蕾丝的家人与美国国会和陆军部的朋友和同学进行了交谈。

And the people's representatives took heed of Grace's powerful allies, Hearst headlines and Navy officialdom.

人民代表也关注格蕾丝的强大盟友、赫斯特的头条新闻和海军官场。

They threatened to put Hawai'i under martial law, or hand it over to the U.S. military...to guard against the race riots they believed to be brewing in Honolulu.

他们威胁要对夏威夷实施戒严,或者将其交给美国军方……以防范他们认为正在檀香山酝酿的种族骚乱。

In Kalihi, Palama and Iwilei, meanwhile, people were simply preparing to bury the dead.

与此同时,在卡利希、帕拉马和伊维雷,人们正准备埋葬死者。

HAUNANI-KAY TRASK

The grief was so overwhelming that the thought of more violence was the last thing anybody would think of, at least not from the Hawaiian people.

悲痛如此巨大,以至于任何人都不会想到更多的暴力,至少夏威夷人民不会。

They were overcome with grief.

他们悲痛欲绝。

他说,“他对着圣经发誓”,他的儿子对着《圣经》发誓。

And as a Catholic, that's something.

作为一名天主教徒,这很重要。

I'm certain that people thought that nothing was going to come of the death of Kahahawai.

我确信人们认为卡哈夏威夷的死不会有什么结果。

They were not going to be punished, the murderers.

他们这些杀人犯不会受到惩罚。

They were not going to be brought to justice.

他们不会被绳之以法。

We haven't had any justice in over one hundred years.

一百多年来我们没有得到任何正义。

All the big newspapers sent correspondents, including the New York Times.

欧文来到小镇,大海为他分开——他是《纽约时报》。

And Grace Fortescue openly tells him everything that happened.

格蕾丝·福蒂斯丘公开告诉了他所发生的一切。

She refers to the events as "the murder." She blithely just assumes that somehow she'll be taken care of.

她将这些事件称为“谋杀”。她快乐地以为她会以某种方式得到照顾。

She can actually admit to being a murderer and everything will be all right.

He asked her, do you have any regrets about what happened.

他问她,你对发生的事情有后悔吗?

And she said, yes, I do have one, I'm so sorry we pulled the blinds down on the car that we were taking Kahahawai out to Koko Head in.

她说,是的,我确实有一个,我很抱歉我们拉下了车上的百叶窗,因为我们要带卡哈夏威夷去科科角。

That was, and he looked at her in utter astonishment, and he said, no other regrets?

就是这样,他震惊地看着她,说,没有别的遗憾吗?

No other regrets.

没有其他遗憾。

DAVID STANNARD

Years later, he says, what I didn't report in that interview was that she said to me, "You know, I originally come from the South and where I come from, we have a way of dealing with niggers and that's what this was all about."

多年后,他说,我在那次采访中没有报道的是她对我说的,“你知道,我最初来自南方,在我的家乡,我们有一套对付黑鬼的方法,这就是事情的全部内容。”

COBEY BLACK

Grace had powerful friends on the East coast, many prominent people who wanted very much that she got the very best defense lawyer and so they pooled their resources and were able to lure Clarence Darrow to take the case.

格蕾丝在东海岸有有权有势的朋友,许多知名人士都非常希望她能找到最好的辩护律师,因此他们集中资源,引诱克拉伦斯·达罗接手此案。

He was then, you know, the great mouthpiece, the great lawyer of America.

你知道,他当时是美国伟大的代言人、伟大的律师。

NARRATOR

Defending lynchers was not the way Clarence Darrow had made his name; he was the enlightened defender of the disenfranchised, the abused, of educator John Scopes, who made bold to teach evolution in the Tennessee schools...it made no sense to Darrow's friends, his defending Grace Fortescue.

克拉伦斯·达罗并不是靠捍卫私刑而出名的。他是教育家约翰·斯科普斯(John Scopes)被剥夺权利和受虐待者的开明捍卫者,他大胆地在田纳西州的学校教授进化论……这对达罗的朋友、他的捍卫者格蕾丝·福蒂斯丘(Grace Fortescue)来说毫无意义。

What his friends didn't know, was that the market crash had wiped out his retirement money; the $30,000 fee was too enticing.

他的朋友们不知道的是,市场崩溃已经耗尽了他的退休金。 3万美元的费用太诱人了。

DAVID STANNARD

He says later on, "There were a couple of reasons.

他后来说:“有几个原因。

One, I needed the money.

一,我需要钱。

Two, I had never been to Hawai'i and I always wanted to go." So he took the case.

第二,我从未去过夏威夷,但我一直想去。”于是他接下了这个案子。

AH QUON MCELRATH

People here followed it as though it were a soap opera.

这里的人们就像肥皂剧一样跟着它。

And so I figured why maybe he's a damn good lawyer and he may get these people off even though they are guilty of, of the crime.

所以我想为什么他可能是一位该死的好律师,他可能会让这些人逃脱,即使他们犯了罪。

In the courtroom, Darrow was counting on his ability to sway the jury, so jury selection was crucial.

在法庭上,达罗指望他有能力影响陪审团,因此陪审团的选择至关重要。

But as much as he wanted to, Darrow found it impossible to pack the jury with haoles .

但尽管达罗很想这么做,他还是发现不可能让陪审团里挤满了好人。

KAY NAPOLEON

So one of the questions I remember him asking, he said to my husband, "Walter Napoleon, what nationality are you?" And my husband said, "My father was French Tahitian Corsican Hawaiian.

我记得他问过的一个问题是,他对我丈夫说:“沃尔特·拿破仑,你是哪国人?”我丈夫说:“我父亲是法国人、大溪地人、科西嘉人、夏威夷人。

And my mother is Scotch Irish English Hawaiian." And then Clarence Darrow said, "What does that make you?" And so my husband, he said, "Well that makes me the League of Nations."

Honolulu's new prosecutor John C.

檀香山的新检察官 John C.

Kelly was the hard-headed son of a Montana miner who meant to see justice done.

凯利是蒙大拿州一位矿工的儿子,他头脑冷静,一心想伸张正义。

Kelly laid out for the jury an airtight case, and Darrow made no effort to refute the evidence against his clients.

凯利向陪审团提出了一个无懈可击的案子,达罗也没有努力反驳对他的当事人不利的证据。

First he suggested that Thomas Massie had shot Kahahawai in a fit of temporary insanity, caused by overexcited glands and unfortunate secretions in the blood.

首先,他暗示托马斯·马西在一次暂时的精神错乱中射杀了卡哈夏威夷,这是由于腺体过度兴奋和血液中不幸的分泌物引起的。

But Darrow could tell he was getting little traction in the jury box, so he switched gears...and his own defense began to echo the mainland newspapers.

但达罗可以看出他在陪审团中几乎没有得到什么支持,所以他改变了立场……他自己的辩护开始与大陆报纸相呼应。

DAVID STANNARD

In the law, there's a term called jury nullification.

法律上有一个术语,叫做“陪审团无效”。

Darrow was a master at that, at asking juries to be bigger than the law, to go to higher authority.

达罗是这方面的大师,他要求陪审团的权力高于法律,向更高的权力机构求助。

And that higher law was what Darrow called the unwritten law, the right of a man to kill somebody who has offended his wife in an egregious way.

这条更高的法律就是达罗所说的不成文法律,即男人有权杀死以令人震惊的方式冒犯妻子的人。

AH QUON MCELRATH

Of course, jurors would say, my God, if my wife or if my daughter were, were given this kind of treatment by five men, they deserve what they get.

当然,陪审员会说,天哪,如果我的妻子或我的女儿受到五个男人的这种对待,他们就活该。

And I'm sure that was part of it.

我确信这是其中的一部分。

NARRATOR

Darrow's defense depended almost entirely on engineering sympathy for Thalia Massie and her family, so Thalia's testimony was his best hope...it was also a series of lies: that she was certain of the identity of her attackers, that Joe Kahahawai was among them...that it was Kahahawai who punched her in the face.

达罗的辩护几乎完全依赖于对塔利亚·马西和她的家人的工程同情,所以塔利亚的证词是他最好的希望……这也是一系列谎言:她确定袭击者的身份,乔·卡哈夏威夷就在其中……是卡哈夏威夷打了她的脸。

COBEY BLACK

She didn't seem to have much conscience about it.

她对此似乎并没有多少良心。

I think she always believed, you know, that if she hadn't been physically violated, that her reputation had been violated and she felt justified.

我认为她一直相信,如果她没有受到身体侵犯,她的名誉就会受到侵犯,她觉得这是正当的。

NARRATOR

While preparing the case, John Kelly had got hold of the psychological test Thalia had taken a year earlier; it revealed her to be a disturbed young woman in a marriage turning uglier by the day...during cross-examination, he stuck it right under her nose.

在准备案件时,约翰·凯利掌握了塔莉亚一年前进行的心理测试;它揭示了她是一个婚姻中精神错乱的年轻女子,而且变得越来越丑……在盘问时,他把它放在她的鼻子底下。

COBEY BLACK

She suddenly, from this innocent young woman, turned into a woman of fury and she grabbed the paper and tore it up, threw it up in the air and said, "Tommy don't let them think I didn't love you.

她突然从一个天真无邪的年轻女子,变成了一个愤怒的女人,她抓起那张纸,把它撕碎,扔到空中,说道:“汤米,别让他们认为我不爱你。

I've always loved you and rushed from the stand down into her husband's arms." And as she rushed by Jack Kelly he said, "At last you've shown yourselves in your true colors."

我一直爱你,从看台上冲进她丈夫的怀里。”当她冲过杰克·凯利时,他说:“你终于露出了本来面目。”

NARRATOR

Darrow later said he went limp watching his star witness crack under cross-examination; he wrapped up his defense in a hurry, anxious to prepare his closing argument, which was scheduled for broadcast, live, on radio, throughout the United States.

达罗后来说,看着他的明星证人在盘问中崩溃,他变得软弱无力。他匆忙结束了辩护,急于准备他的结案陈词,该陈词计划在美国各地通过广播现场直播。

DAVID STANNARD

Darrow's final argument was typical Clarence Darrow.

达罗的最后论点是典型的克拉伦斯·达罗。

It was extensive.

它很广泛。

Uh, it was bombastic.

呃,这太夸张了。

It brought people, including Darrow, to tears.

这让包括达罗在内的人们流下了眼泪。

Uh, it uh, it ignored the law and urged the jury to ignore the law and say there is this higher law.

呃,呃,它无视法律,还怂恿陪审团无视法律,说有这个更高的法律。

Kelly says to the jury, "If you don't convict these people, you are saying lynching is alright.

凯利对陪审团说:“如果你不给这些人定罪,你就等于说私刑是可以的。

He says, "Don't listen to the admiral.

他说:“别听将军的话。

The hell with the admirals.

海军上将们见鬼去吧。
