<i>TV REPORTER: In a related story, the
high court had also refused to stay</i>

5
00:02:31,693 --> 00:02:35,539
<i>Friday's execution of former
philosophy professor David Gale.</i>

6
00:02:35,739 --> 00:02:38,834
<i>Gale had sought a review
of his 1994 conviction</i>

7
00:02:38,909 --> 00:02:42,004
<i>for the rape and murder of his
University of Austin colleague,</i>

8
00:02:42,079 --> 00:02:43,501
<i>Constance Harraway.</i>

9
00:02:43,580 --> 00:02:46,174
<i>The case has received
nationwide media attention</i>

10
00:02:46,249 --> 00:02:49,879
<i>because Gale and Harraway
were activists for Death Watch,</i>

11
00:02:49,961 --> 00:02:52,259
<i>a nonprofit abolitionist
organization.</i>

12
00:02:52,339 --> 00:02:57,266
<i>Do you understand how much money taxpayers
pay in Texas to put one person to death?</i>

13
00:02:57,386 --> 00:03:00,139
<i>What do we want?
ALL: No more executions!</i>

14
00:03:00,263 --> 00:03:03,483
<i>DAVID: Governor, can't we all admit
the capital punishment system</i>

15
00:03:03,558 --> 00:03:04,980
<i>in this country is not working?</i>

16
00:03:05,060 --> 00:03:07,859
They're not going to stay Gale.
It's on TV right now. Listen.

17
00:03:07,938 --> 00:03:09,781
<i>Defense lawyers
had hoped to argue</i>

18
00:03:09,856 --> 00:03:12,735
<i>that Gale's former activism
against capital punishment</i>

19
00:03:12,818 --> 00:03:15,537
<i>unduly prejudiced
the Texas judicial system.</i>

20
00:03:15,612 --> 00:03:19,116
The deal was Bitsey would get the
interview if the stay was refused.

21
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:21,327
He'll talk to her for
two hours a day,

22
00:03:21,410 --> 00:03:23,538
Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday.

23
00:03:24,079 --> 00:03:25,831
Can't do Friday. No.

24
00:03:26,415 --> 00:03:28,258
Friday's the day
they execute him.

25
00:03:29,835 --> 00:03:31,883
The lawyer said only Bitsey.

26
00:03:31,962 --> 00:03:33,635
Gale's going down.
Shh!

27
00:03:34,506 --> 00:03:36,600
Only Bitsey means only Bitsey.

28
00:03:36,675 --> 00:03:38,143
I don't get to
make the rules, Joe.

29
00:03:38,218 --> 00:03:39,765
Please, I'm a fat black woman.

30
00:03:39,845 --> 00:03:42,348
What we need is to put
her on a plane to Texas.

31
00:03:42,806 --> 00:03:44,558
Why do you get like
that around legal?

32
00:03:44,641 --> 00:03:46,689
Hold on, we're coming over.

33
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:51,698
What's this "Only Bitsey
means only Bitsey" stuff?

34
00:03:51,773 --> 00:03:53,946
They asked for you,
and no substitutes.

35
00:03:54,025 --> 00:03:56,073
Who's they, exactly?
Gale's lawyers.

36
00:03:56,153 --> 00:03:59,783
More exactly, Gale's lawyer.
Some good old boy in Austin.

37
00:03:59,865 --> 00:04:01,082
Why do they want me?

38
00:04:01,158 --> 00:04:02,375
You don't want the assignment?

39
00:04:02,492 --> 00:04:03,744
I'm not saying that.

40
00:04:03,827 --> 00:04:06,171
I can't see why a guy
about to be executed

41
00:04:06,246 --> 00:04:07,623
should suddenly ask for me.

42
00:04:07,706 --> 00:04:10,960
Maybe they liked your kiddie
porn piece, and going to jail.

43
00:04:11,042 --> 00:04:13,511
Maybe he saw your picture
and thinks you're cute.

44
00:04:13,587 --> 00:04:15,260
So how much access do I get?

45
00:04:15,380 --> 00:04:17,007
Three interviews.
No time for more.

46
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:18,808
By Friday, the guy's a goner.

47
00:04:19,634 --> 00:04:21,386
What exactly is our story?

48
00:04:21,511 --> 00:04:23,309
Rape, murder, death row.

49
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,775
Very intelligent guy.
Maybe he's even innocent.

50
00:04:26,850 --> 00:04:28,227
Yeah, right.

51
00:04:29,144 --> 00:04:31,522
JOE: No, tell him I'll
call him back. Thanks.

52
00:04:31,855 --> 00:04:33,448
BARBARA: So what's
your problem?

53
00:04:33,523 --> 00:04:36,993
JOE: Hi, Barbara. Morning, Bitsey.
Okay, here's my concern.

54
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,782
Setting aside the cost issue,

55
00:04:38,862 --> 00:04:42,116
although $500,000 in cash
for three days of interviews

56
00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:44,167
is not only illegal,
it's obscene.

57
00:04:44,242 --> 00:04:46,995
That's market value.
The guy's never talked.

58
00:04:47,078 --> 00:04:50,628
Aside from that, I, we are still
uncomfortable with the arrangement.

59
00:04:50,957 --> 00:04:51,958
Why?

60
00:04:52,042 --> 00:04:54,636
You just spent a very
public seven days in jail

61
00:04:54,711 --> 00:04:56,964
for a very public
contempt-of-court citation.

62
00:04:57,047 --> 00:05:00,551
For protecting sources. If you
were uncomfortable with the story,

63
00:05:00,634 --> 00:05:03,353
why did you slap it on the
domestic and international covers?

64
00:05:03,428 --> 00:05:07,478
What makes us uncomfortable
is that a rapist/murderer

65
00:05:07,557 --> 00:05:09,901
has asked to spend the last
three days of his life

66
00:05:09,976 --> 00:05:12,274
giving an interview,
his very first,

67
00:05:12,354 --> 00:05:13,947
to a reporter who is now famous

68
00:05:14,064 --> 00:05:15,657
for protecting sexual deviants.

69
00:05:15,732 --> 00:05:18,406
A reporter who is also
a very attractive woman.

70
00:05:18,485 --> 00:05:20,112
This is disparate treatment.

71
00:05:20,237 --> 00:05:21,830
JOE: Oh, boy.

72
00:05:21,905 --> 00:05:23,657
I could go if I
were an ugly guy?

73
00:05:23,740 --> 00:05:27,040
The agenda issue would be diffused
with the presence of a male.

74
00:05:27,118 --> 00:05:29,496
I hear lawyers
gleefully saying,

75
00:05:29,621 --> 00:05:31,999
"Bloom versus
<i>News Magazine</i> Inc."

76
00:05:32,082 --> 00:05:34,631
"Your Honor, I started
to notice my assignments

77
00:05:34,709 --> 00:05:36,962
"were being determined
on the basis of my sex."

78
00:05:37,045 --> 00:05:38,672
You've got to let her go now.

79
00:05:38,755 --> 00:05:40,007
That's not what I meant.

80
00:05:40,131 --> 00:05:41,428
He's got to let you go.

81
00:05:41,508 --> 00:05:43,602
All right. Enough.

82
00:05:43,677 --> 00:05:46,351
But the intern will be
with you at all times.

83
00:05:46,429 --> 00:05:48,147
What? Intern.

84
00:05:48,265 --> 00:05:50,814
No, you've got to be kidding.
That's what he said.

85
00:05:50,892 --> 00:05:52,519
He's a jerk.
He's the boss.

86
00:05:52,602 --> 00:05:54,650
Not an intern.
I always work alone.

87
00:05:54,729 --> 00:05:55,855
Not this time, Bitsey.

88
00:05:55,939 --> 00:05:57,316
I'm not baby-sitting.

89
00:06:13,790 --> 00:06:17,169
BITSEY: Gale's DNA was everywhere.
His semen was inside her.

90
00:06:17,252 --> 00:06:18,845
He was seen leaving her house.

91
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,890
His prints were all over the
kitchen, including one on the bag.

92
00:06:21,965 --> 00:06:23,387
Half a thumbprint.

93
00:06:23,508 --> 00:06:24,976
Half a thumbprint.
That's enough.

94
00:06:25,051 --> 00:06:27,520
He could've touched it before
it was a murder weapon.

95
00:06:27,596 --> 00:06:29,564
You fondle your
friends' garbage bags?

96
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:32,188
Yeah, I get very touchy
around household plastics.

97
00:06:32,267 --> 00:06:34,235
I'm particularly
fond of Tupperware.

98
00:06:34,311 --> 00:06:35,528
Tupperware?

99
00:06:35,604 --> 00:06:39,825
I'm just saying the bag could've
been sitting on the counter.

100
00:06:40,984 --> 00:06:43,578
He did it. Now he's going to die.
And you know something?

101
00:06:43,653 --> 00:06:45,621
Maybe that's exactly
what he deserves.

102
00:06:45,697 --> 00:06:47,745
But the murder's way
too fucking clumsy.

103
00:06:47,824 --> 00:06:52,000
This guy is an intellectual. Top of
his Harvard class, Rhodes Scholar,

104
00:06:52,078 --> 00:06:54,752
tenured at 27,
two books published.

105
00:06:54,831 --> 00:06:56,504
He's an academic stud.

106
00:06:56,625 --> 00:06:59,174
Look at his wife.
A regular Grace Kelly.

107
00:06:59,753 --> 00:07:02,802
Old money svelte. Father
was ambassador to Spain.

108
00:07:02,881 --> 00:07:04,849
Shit! The light's on again.

109
00:07:04,966 --> 00:07:06,843
Ignore it, it's a rental.

110
00:07:07,218 --> 00:07:08,845
Do you smell anything?

111
00:07:08,970 --> 00:07:10,597
The guy's a flaming Liberal.

112
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,432
A person's politics
has nothing to do

113
00:07:12,515 --> 00:07:13,607
with his tendency
to commit crime.

114
00:07:13,725 --> 00:07:14,772
Wrong.

115
00:07:14,851 --> 00:07:16,774
Shouldn't it smell
if it's overheating?

116
00:07:16,853 --> 00:07:19,777
Seventy-three percent of all
serial killers vote Republican.

117
00:07:19,856 --> 00:07:22,234
Throw your cigarette out,
so we can smell.

118
00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:26,117
You'll stink up the car.
Throw it out.

119
00:07:26,196 --> 00:07:27,994
I'm not going to
fucking pollute.

120
00:07:43,838 --> 00:07:46,557
BITSEY: There's definitely
something wrong with this car.

121
00:07:46,633 --> 00:07:47,976
This is so irritating.

122
00:07:48,051 --> 00:07:49,473
How far to Huntsville?

123
00:07:49,552 --> 00:07:51,429
BITSEY: I'm going to pull off.

A little early
for that, isn't it?

The nonsmoking

I meant the book.

<i>Dialogical Exhaustion</i>
by David Gale.

145
00:10:13,822 --> 00:10:15,290
The guy's a genius.

146
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:17,037
What time is it?

147
00:10:17,158 --> 00:10:18,205
9:15 a.m.

148
00:10:19,035 --> 00:10:20,833
There are 10
prisons around here.

149
00:10:20,954 --> 00:10:22,706
Death row is in the Ellis unit,

150
00:10:22,789 --> 00:10:25,963
but they're moving it to the Terrell
unit at the end of the year.

151
00:10:26,042 --> 00:10:27,794
The waitress's
boyfriend works there.

152
00:10:27,877 --> 00:10:30,130
Her last boyfriend worked
in the Huntsville unit.

153
00:10:30,213 --> 00:10:32,056
The two before that in Walker.

154
00:10:32,132 --> 00:10:34,305
The Estelle unit
has the cutest guys.

155
00:10:34,384 --> 00:10:38,434
And I'm quoting, "My butt's too
big to get an Estelle guy."

156
00:10:40,723 --> 00:10:42,316
Ellis is 15 minutes
out of town.

157
00:10:42,433 --> 00:10:44,060
We've got five
and a half hours.

158
00:10:44,144 --> 00:10:47,239
Never eat in a place where the

159
00:10:47,564 --> 00:10:50,238
We should drive into Austin.
Check out the crime scene.

160
00:10:50,316 --> 00:10:52,910
That could be some
great stuff for our story.

161
00:10:52,986 --> 00:10:56,581
This isn't our story. It's not even
a story. It's an interview.

162
00:10:57,532 --> 00:11:00,911
Most importantly for you to
remember, it's my interview.

163
00:11:02,579 --> 00:11:05,002
What do I do for
the next five hours?

164
00:11:05,081 --> 00:11:07,630
Drive around. Look for
a decent restaurant.

165
00:11:10,211 --> 00:11:13,090
Your reputation as
Mike Wallace with PMS

166
00:11:13,173 --> 00:11:14,675
doesn't do you justice.

167
00:11:15,049 --> 00:11:16,847
My reputation got
us invited here.

168
00:11:16,926 --> 00:11:19,679
I play by the rules, even if
my colleagues don't like it.

169
00:11:19,762 --> 00:11:21,355
It's called...
Ambition?

170
00:11:21,431 --> 00:11:22,432
Objectivity.

171
00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:23,767
What can I get you, ma'am?

172
00:11:23,892 --> 00:11:25,109
Just coffee.

173
00:11:29,731 --> 00:11:31,199
Don't push me, smart ass.

174
00:11:46,956 --> 00:11:48,629
You know you're
in the Bible belt

175
00:11:48,708 --> 00:11:50,836
when there are more
churches than Starbucks.

176
00:11:50,919 --> 00:11:53,297
When there are more
prisons than Starbucks.

177
00:12:39,342 --> 00:12:40,844
(DOOR BUZZES OPEN)

178
00:13:14,168 --> 00:13:16,011
He's ready for y'all now.

179
00:13:16,212 --> 00:13:17,338
GROVER: Yes, I am.

180
00:13:20,967 --> 00:13:25,313
I'm not gonna debate with you the
rights and wrongs of the situation.

181
00:13:26,055 --> 00:13:28,558
Our job is to run the
state prison system.

182
00:13:30,476 --> 00:13:33,901
This is not France. This is not
Germany. This is Texas.

183
00:13:33,980 --> 00:13:36,074
And we're gonna
follow Texas law.

184
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,364
You're very welcome, ma'am.
Goodbye, now.

185
00:13:40,528 --> 00:13:41,905
Thank you, Margie.

186
00:13:42,488 --> 00:13:45,412
Correspondents Bloom and
Stevens, I presume?

187
00:13:45,491 --> 00:13:46,788
Yes, hello.

188
00:13:47,243 --> 00:13:48,745
Stemmons.

189
00:13:48,911 --> 00:13:50,413
Sorry.
Won't happen again.

190
00:13:50,621 --> 00:13:53,340
I'm Duke Grover, TDCJ,
Community Relations.

191
00:13:53,416 --> 00:13:55,544
He's usually real
good with names.

192
00:13:55,626 --> 00:13:58,220
And these days I
always like to ask

193
00:13:58,296 --> 00:14:00,674
do you prefer Miss,
Mrs., or Ms.?

194
00:14:01,257 --> 00:14:02,383
Bitsey.

195
00:14:02,508 --> 00:14:03,555
Bitsey it is.

196
00:14:03,634 --> 00:14:04,931
Margie, I'm stealing
your guests.

197
00:14:05,053 --> 00:14:06,350
Okey-dokey.

198
00:14:06,763 --> 00:14:08,765
You ever been in a prison?
Yes.

199
00:14:08,848 --> 00:14:10,316
On death row?
No.

200
00:14:10,683 --> 00:14:12,230
ID's again, please.

201
00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:16,406
All executions in the state of Texas
occur at the Huntsville unit.

202
00:14:16,481 --> 00:14:18,984
But death row is here
for the time being.

203
00:14:19,067 --> 00:14:22,742
This is home to all 442
offenders prior to their date.

204
00:14:23,112 --> 00:14:25,331
Average stay on
the row is nine years.

205
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:28,205
Some get commuted, but
most get put to death.

206
00:14:29,369 --> 00:14:32,464
It'll put you off your supper,
but then, it's supposed to.

207
00:14:33,164 --> 00:14:34,757
GROVER: New York
guests for Mr. Gale.

208
00:14:34,874 --> 00:14:36,467
Can I get your bags?

209
00:14:36,542 --> 00:14:40,422
We have three concerns here,
safety, safety, and safety.

210
00:14:40,505 --> 00:14:42,599
The visitation area
is entirely secure.

211
00:14:42,673 --> 00:14:44,846
We just ask that you
don't touch the glass.

212
00:14:44,926 --> 00:14:46,678
Windex gets expensive.

213
00:14:47,220 --> 00:14:49,689
You're not carrying a
weapon, are you, Bitsey?

214
00:14:49,764 --> 00:14:51,357
(LOW AND INDISTINCT CATCALLS)

215
00:14:52,892 --> 00:14:54,018
Sorry. No.

216
00:14:54,310 --> 00:14:55,350
Mr. Stemmons, you packing?

217
00:14:55,395 --> 00:14:56,396
No, sir.

218
00:14:56,479 --> 00:14:57,446
GROVER: Cell phone?

219
00:14:57,522 --> 00:14:58,562
ZACK: They're not working.

220
00:14:58,606 --> 00:15:00,904
Then you won't mind
leaving them here.

221
00:15:00,983 --> 00:15:04,487
We also have rules against the
carrying of large sums of cash

222
00:15:04,570 --> 00:15:06,743
and the wearing
of open-toed shoes.

223
00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:11,085
Those will do just fine. You
want to step on through now?

224
00:15:11,577 --> 00:15:12,794
There you go.

225
00:15:13,162 --> 00:15:14,288
GUARD: Thank you, ma'am.

226
00:15:14,414 --> 00:15:15,506
GROVER: That's right.

227
00:15:17,041 --> 00:15:18,133
Open-toed shoes?

228
00:15:18,251 --> 00:15:19,343
Drives them crazy.

229
00:15:19,669 --> 00:15:22,422
GROVER: Your turn, Mr. Stemmons.
Right on through there.

230
00:15:22,672 --> 00:15:23,673
Good.

231
00:15:24,549 --> 00:15:27,553
Should anything unpleasant
occur in the visitation area,

232
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,262
we ask you to stay put.

233
00:15:29,345 --> 00:15:32,565
Please follow the instructions of
our fine correctional officers

234
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,813
should they see fit
to give you any.

235
00:15:35,643 --> 00:15:38,317
Anything you say
can be overheard.

236
00:15:38,396 --> 00:15:42,651
Any discussion of criminal activity
on your part is admissible.

237
00:15:42,733 --> 00:15:45,532
You're not planning on
a jailbreak, are you?

238
00:15:45,903 --> 00:15:48,497
The rain seems
to be holding off.

239
00:15:48,573 --> 00:15:52,203
You watch your step here. This
cement can get pretty slippery.

240
00:15:52,702 --> 00:15:54,545
This is our Japanese garden.

241
00:15:54,996 --> 00:15:57,875
We ask you not to
throw coins in the pond.

242
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:01,882
Right this way.
Almost there.

243
00:16:03,713 --> 00:16:07,263
Here we are. This is our
visitation area right here.

244
00:16:08,426 --> 00:16:10,394
All yours, Mr. Belyeu.

245
00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:13,690
That's it for me. You
folks have a safe visit.

246
00:16:14,098 --> 00:16:15,771
Thank you.
Bye now.

247
00:16:15,850 --> 00:16:17,397
Ms. Bloom?
BITSEY: Yes.

248
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,063
Come right on in here and
make yourself comfortable.

249
00:16:20,146 --> 00:16:22,444
Did that PR man
validate your parking?

250
00:16:22,523 --> 00:16:24,651
He said the gift
shop would do it.

251
00:16:25,067 --> 00:16:26,614
She's a smart one.

252
00:16:26,694 --> 00:16:28,913
Braxton Belyeu,
Mr. Gale's attorney.

253
00:16:28,988 --> 00:16:30,160
This is Zack Stemmons.

254
00:16:30,281 --> 00:16:31,453
My good pleasure.

255
00:16:31,782 --> 00:16:34,581
And right over here,
we have the man of the hour.

256
00:16:44,295 --> 00:16:45,387
Hello.

257
00:16:45,963 --> 00:16:47,089
Hello.
Hi.

258
00:16:47,465 --> 00:16:50,264
<i>GUARD (OVER P.A.): Sit down, Gale.
Prisoner will not stand.</i>

259
00:16:50,343 --> 00:16:52,562
Why can't they
turn that thing down?

260
00:16:53,262 --> 00:16:55,185
My lawyer respectfully requests

261
00:16:55,264 --> 00:16:58,108
that you adjust the volume
on the speaker system.

262
00:16:58,184 --> 00:17:01,063
<i>GUARD (OVER P.A.):
Gale, sit down.</i>

263
00:17:05,650 --> 00:17:07,903
They're practicing
being cruel and unusual.

264
00:17:09,820 --> 00:17:12,448
I'm sure you're
biting at the bit.

265
00:17:12,532 --> 00:17:14,375
It is our understanding
that you are

266
00:17:14,492 --> 00:17:16,290
to have three
two-hour sessions.

267
00:17:16,619 --> 00:17:18,872
Today, tomorrow, and Thursday.

268
00:17:18,955 --> 00:17:20,957
All at 3:00 p.m.

269
00:17:21,749 --> 00:17:24,047
I'm sorry we can't
afford you more time.

270
00:17:24,126 --> 00:17:27,756
But contrary to popular rumor,
we have not yet begun to fight.

271
00:17:28,464 --> 00:17:31,058
It is our understanding
that you will do this alone.

272
00:17:31,133 --> 00:17:33,227
The magazine would prefer that...
Alone.

273
00:17:33,302 --> 00:17:34,394
Understood.

274
00:17:34,470 --> 00:17:39,397
BELYEU: Also, you'll use no
recording equipment of any kind.

275
00:17:39,475 --> 00:17:41,193
BITSEY: Correct.
BELYEU: Excellent.

276
00:17:41,269 --> 00:17:44,364
I have a few papers for which
I need your Jo Anne Hancock.

277
00:17:44,438 --> 00:17:48,784
So if you'd stop by my Austin office
at your earliest convenience.

278
00:17:48,859 --> 00:17:50,486
Thursday morning, say?

279
00:17:50,736 --> 00:17:52,329
Expenses and so forth.

280
00:17:55,658 --> 00:17:58,332
Fine. Till Thursday, then.
Good luck.

281
00:17:58,703 --> 00:18:00,171
I'll stop by later.

282
00:18:02,748 --> 00:18:06,298
What say you and me partake
of a death-defying cigarette

283
00:18:06,377 --> 00:18:08,254
in the visitors' parking lot?

284
00:18:08,337 --> 00:18:09,429
Bye-bye, y'all.

285
00:18:18,014 --> 00:18:19,015
So...

286
00:18:19,765 --> 00:18:21,642
Please pull up a seat.

287
00:18:28,357 --> 00:18:29,449
He's quite a character.

288
00:18:29,525 --> 00:18:30,526
Yes.

289
00:18:30,610 --> 00:18:33,284
He's about the only outside
contact I have now.

290
00:18:33,362 --> 00:18:34,739
And a good friend.

291
00:18:36,073 --> 00:18:37,791
Where's your ex-wife?

292
00:18:37,867 --> 00:18:41,087
I don't want you to ask me
questions about her or my son.

293
00:18:41,871 --> 00:18:43,464
What I offer you is one thing.

294
00:18:43,539 --> 00:18:46,133
Questions about them
are not part of our deal.

295
00:18:46,208 --> 00:18:47,209
Okay.

296
00:18:48,085 --> 00:18:50,964
Just say, "Off the record,"
and I'll take it to my grave.

297
00:18:51,047 --> 00:18:52,594
You can trust me on that.

298
00:18:53,758 --> 00:18:55,977
Does this count as
recording equipment?

299
00:18:59,722 --> 00:19:00,894
How do we start?

300
00:19:01,015 --> 00:19:02,187
We start with

301
00:19:03,601 --> 00:19:05,774
you telling me
what I'm doing here.

302
00:19:07,396 --> 00:19:09,865
No one who looks through
that glass sees a person.

303
00:19:09,940 --> 00:19:11,317
They see a crime.

304
00:19:12,276 --> 00:19:15,496
I'm not David Gale.
I'm a murderer and a rapist.

305
00:19:15,571 --> 00:19:17,744
Four days shy of his execution.

306
00:19:19,825 --> 00:19:21,827
You're here because I
want to be remembered

307
00:19:21,911 --> 00:19:25,131
as much for howl led my life
and the decisions that I made

308
00:19:25,206 --> 00:19:27,254
as for how my life ended.

309
00:19:28,417 --> 00:19:29,634
Why me?

310
00:19:29,752 --> 00:19:30,924
Why not?

311
00:19:31,003 --> 00:19:33,597
You've spent some time behind
bars yourself recently.

312
00:19:33,673 --> 00:19:35,141
I certainly have.

313
00:19:35,216 --> 00:19:37,594
Because you do take
things to your grave.

314
00:19:38,260 --> 00:19:42,015
Protecting sources, even kiddie
porn scum, is the magazine policy

315
00:19:42,098 --> 00:19:43,771
and mine.
I know.

316

You get Lacan's point.

341
00:20:59,175 --> 00:21:02,270
Fantasies have
to be unrealistic.

342
00:21:02,344 --> 00:21:05,598
Because the moment, the second
that you get what you seek,

343
00:21:05,681 --> 00:21:08,400
you don't,
you can't want it anymore.

344
00:21:08,476 --> 00:21:10,945
In order to continue to exist,

345
00:21:11,020 --> 00:21:15,070
desire must have its objects
perpetually absent.

346
00:21:15,149 --> 00:21:19,029
It's not the "it" that you want,
it's the fantasy of "it."

347
00:21:20,154 --> 00:21:23,704
Desire supports
crazy fantasies.

about future happiness.

DAVID: Or why we say, "The hunt
is sweeter than the kill."

354
00:21:42,843 --> 00:21:44,686
Or, "Be careful
what you wish for."

355
00:21:44,762 --> 00:21:46,639
Not because you'll get it,

356
00:21:46,722 --> 00:21:49,726
because you're doomed
not to want it once you do.

357
00:21:50,309 --> 00:21:52,311
So the lesson of Lacan is

358
00:21:52,394 --> 00:21:54,988
living by your wants
will never make you happy.

359

What it means to be fully human

360
00:21:56,982 --> 00:21:59,826
is to strive to live
by ideas and ideals.

361
00:21:59,902 --> 00:22:01,996
Not to measure your life

by what you've attained
in terms of your desires

but those moments of integrity,
compassion, rationality,

even self-sacrifice.

Because in the end,

366
00:22:14,792 --> 00:22:18,547
the only way we can measure the
significance of our own lives

367
00:22:18,629 --> 00:22:21,098
is by valuing
the lives of others.

00:38:01,529 --> 00:38:02,872
Let him finish.

636
00:38:02,989 --> 00:38:04,286
Fine. Whatever.

637
00:38:04,365 --> 00:38:07,209
Just give me a name.
I'm gonna write it down.

638
00:38:07,660 --> 00:38:10,163
A man that you can
prove was innocent,

639
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,758
and I'll call a moratorium.

640
00:38:16,336 --> 00:38:17,337
Mr. Gale?

641
00:38:20,298 --> 00:38:21,515
GOVERNOR:
Are we through here, Alan?

642
00:38:21,633 --> 00:38:22,805
We're running out of time.

643
00:38:22,884 --> 00:38:24,886
I'd like to thank my guests,
Governor Hardin

644
00:38:24,969 --> 00:38:26,846
and Professor Gale from deathwatch.

645
00:38:26,930 --> 00:38:27,977
Roll credits.

646
00:38:28,056 --> 00:38:30,058
HOST:
I hope you will join me tomorrow.

647
00:38:34,312 --> 00:38:35,313
CONSTANCE:
Your exact words were,

648
00:38:35,396 --> 00:38:37,899
"Tell me when my ego's getting
in the way of the work."

649
00:38:37,982 --> 00:38:39,655
Now I'm telling you.

650
00:38:39,776 --> 00:38:41,494
I didn't want to do this.

651
00:38:41,569 --> 00:38:43,242
You put up two
seconds of protest

652
00:38:43,404 --> 00:38:45,077
at the thought of
being on a TV debate.

653
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,282
What does that mean?

654
00:38:46,407 --> 00:38:47,533
Deathwatch suffers

655
00:38:47,617 --> 00:38:49,745
because you're so anxious
to finger authority

656
00:38:49,828 --> 00:38:53,298
to publicly prove David Gale is
smarter than the powers that be.

657
00:38:53,540 --> 00:38:56,794
Work without an audience. Try
squeezing money from the donor list.

Have you licked a single
mail-out envelope?

659
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,092
Mr. Gale?

660
00:39:00,213 --> 00:39:01,339
The Governor went that way.

661
00:39:01,422 --> 00:39:04,676
Ramirez. Austin Police.
This is Officer Hasermann.

662
00:39:04,759 --> 00:39:06,727
Is debating the
Governor a crime now?

663
00:39:06,803 --> 00:39:08,271
No, sir. Rape is.

664
00:39:16,271 --> 00:39:17,523
Berlin had my bite marks...

665
00:39:17,605 --> 00:39:19,323
<i>Gale, time's up.</i>

666
00:39:21,192 --> 00:39:23,411
bruises, her clothes
were ripped.

667
00:39:23,486 --> 00:39:25,488
My skin was found
under her fingernails.

668
00:39:25,572 --> 00:39:27,370
It didn't look like
anything but rape.

669
00:39:27,448 --> 00:39:29,792
Then she drops charges
and leaves town,

670
00:39:29,868 --> 00:39:31,370
making it look
like I was guilty,

671
00:39:31,452 --> 00:39:33,955
and she was too
traumatized to face trial.

672
00:39:34,038 --> 00:39:37,884
My wife read all this sitting in
the airport wondering where I was.

673
00:39:37,959 --> 00:39:39,552
Why I wasn't there
to pick her up.

674
00:39:39,627 --> 00:39:42,130
Took me almost two
weeks to get bailed out.

675
00:39:42,797 --> 00:39:46,301
And the grad student, Berlin?
Why do you think she did it?

676
00:39:47,302 --> 00:39:49,100
To poke her
finger at authority.

677
00:39:49,178 --> 00:39:51,806
Show the powers that be
how much smarter she was.

678
00:39:51,890 --> 00:39:54,268
Grad student's revenge.
I don't really know.

679
00:39:54,392 --> 00:39:56,360
Know where I can find her?
No.

680
00:39:56,436 --> 00:39:59,815
First year I was in here I got
a postcard from San Francisco.

681
00:40:00,189 --> 00:40:03,318
It was signed, "From the student
who would do anything."

682
00:40:04,235 --> 00:40:05,987
Did she say anything else?

683
00:40:06,696 --> 00:40:08,573
"I'm sorrier
than you can know."

684
00:40:08,907 --> 00:40:09,999
GUARD: Move it, Gale.

685
00:40:10,158 --> 00:40:11,284
I'm running out of time.

686
00:40:17,582 --> 00:40:21,086
Can you imagine his wife letting
him stew in jail for two weeks?

687
00:40:21,169 --> 00:40:22,887
Who can blame her?

688
00:40:22,962 --> 00:40:25,681
Get an address for the Berlin
girl from the university.

689
00:40:25,757 --> 00:40:27,634
Still don't think
he's telling the truth?

690
00:40:27,717 --> 00:40:30,015
On the Berlin rap?
On the whole rap.

691
00:40:30,094 --> 00:40:33,439
Who knows? Anyway, there is
no truth, only perspectives.

692
00:40:33,514 --> 00:40:35,312
If you say there's no truth,

693
00:40:35,391 --> 00:40:37,143
you're claiming it's
true there's no truth.

694
00:40:37,226 --> 00:40:38,853
It's a logical contradiction.

695
00:40:38,937 --> 00:40:41,281
Working on our
philosophy merit badge?

696
00:40:41,356 --> 00:40:44,109
With rape, an accusation
is as good as a conviction.

697
00:40:44,192 --> 00:40:45,614
It sticks like shit.

698
00:40:45,693 --> 00:40:47,036
That's an appetizing metaphor.

699
00:40:47,111 --> 00:40:48,408
Technically a simile.

700
00:40:48,488 --> 00:40:50,240
I think he's telling the truth.

701
00:40:50,323 --> 00:40:52,371
This you know from sitting
in the prison lobby?

702
00:40:52,450 --> 00:40:53,952
It's just my perspective.

703
00:40:54,035 --> 00:40:56,629
Three different
courts found him guilty.

704
00:40:56,704 --> 00:40:59,127
That's enough
perspective for me.

Hi. I'm Bitsey Bloom.
This is Zack Stemmons.

714
00:42:08,985 --> 00:42:10,407
You want the tour?

715
00:42:11,988 --> 00:42:14,958
There's a $20 mandatory
donation apiece.

716
00:42:15,283 --> 00:42:18,628
You get a re-enactment photo packet.
It's got five pictures.

717
00:42:18,828 --> 00:42:20,876
Okay.
I got to collect first.

718
00:42:20,955 --> 00:42:21,956
Sure.

719
00:42:22,915 --> 00:42:24,007
I got it.

720
00:42:27,795 --> 00:42:30,890
Got to sign the book. It doesn't
have to be your real name.

It says you're here to do
research on violent crime.

State requires it
for nonprofit shit.

one, it would be cool.

That's me.
My boyfriend took it.

727
00:42:47,940 --> 00:42:49,692
We also got a video.

It's $50 'cause
you can see my tits.

00:42:57,700 --> 00:42:59,418
Not so much anymore.

732

We thought it
would be a busy week

So you don't mind living here?

It's better than living
with my dickwad parents.

It starts over here.

She let him
crash here sometimes.

Exhibit one.

740
00:43:16,344 --> 00:43:18,062
He drank Scotch religiously.

741

The rest is in the kitchen.

NICO: Here's number two.

743

This is where the tripod was.

744
00:43:26,771 --> 00:43:29,695
My boyfriend borrowed the one
we usually show to folks.

745
00:43:29,774 --> 00:43:33,244
They never found a camera, or
photos, a video or anything.

746
00:43:33,694 --> 00:43:35,492
Gale must have buried them.

747
00:43:36,197 --> 00:43:39,952
These serial killer dudes take
photos to whack off to later.

748
00:43:40,618 --> 00:43:43,371
He's not exactly
a serial killer.

749
00:43:44,455 --> 00:43:45,502
Whatever.

750
00:43:46,124 --> 00:43:48,673
She was totally naked,
right here.

751
00:43:48,751 --> 00:43:51,049
The meter man saw
her through the door.

752
00:43:51,879 --> 00:43:54,257
Gale handcuffed her,
taped her mouth,

753
00:43:54,340 --> 00:43:56,889
then taped a bag over her
head so she couldn't breathe.

754
00:43:56,968 --> 00:43:59,892
He used housewife gloves
so he wouldn't leave prints.

755
00:43:59,971 --> 00:44:02,645
They found sticky stuff
from the tape on them.

756
00:44:02,723 --> 00:44:05,727
We ask folks not to
touch the exhibit.

757
00:44:06,894 --> 00:44:10,148
The totally sick part is where they
found the key to the handcuffs.

758
00:44:12,066 --> 00:44:13,033
We know.

759
00:44:13,109 --> 00:44:14,861
Wait. What?
Where was it?

760
00:44:15,194 --> 00:44:17,162
It was in her stomach, dude.

761
00:44:17,238 --> 00:44:19,866
Gale made her swallow it
before he bagged her.

762
00:44:20,575 --> 00:44:22,748
That's pretty
much the highlights.

763

00:44:33,462 --> 00:44:35,760
I can still smell
he cigarette smoke.

00:44:36,549 --> 00:44:38,176
It's the barbecue!

766
00:44:40,803 --> 00:44:42,180
Can you imagine?

767
00:44:43,097 --> 00:44:44,974
That key was in her stomach.

768
00:44:45,057 --> 00:44:47,025
That's so fucking cold, man.

769
00:44:50,855 --> 00:44:51,981
BITSEY: Zack?
ZACK: What?

770
00:44:53,608 --> 00:44:56,077
Isn't that the cowboy
from the rest area?

771
00:44:58,821 --> 00:45:00,118
The same truck.

772
00:45:00,406 --> 00:45:01,783
Weird coincidence?

773
00:45:02,700 --> 00:45:06,295
Coincidences are always weird.
That's why they're coincidences.

774
00:45:11,792 --> 00:45:13,089
DAVID: Off the record.

775
00:45:14,879 --> 00:45:16,301
Okay. We're off.

776
00:45:18,507 --> 00:45:21,977
Constance was murdered by what's
known as the Securitat Method.

777
00:45:22,637 --> 00:45:25,060
You're handcuffed,
forced to swallow the key,

778
00:45:25,139 --> 00:45:27,688
your mouth is taped, a bag
is sealed around your head,

779
00:45:27,767 --> 00:45:29,269
and you're left to suffocate.

780
00:45:29,352 --> 00:45:31,070
The Securitat
did it to Romanians

781
00:45:31,145 --> 00:45:32,863
when they wouldn't
inform or confess.

782
00:45:32,939 --> 00:45:36,034
Sometimes the bag was ripped off
to give you a second chance.

783
00:45:36,108 --> 00:45:37,655
Otherwise, you died

784
00:45:37,735 --> 00:45:39,658
knowing that the
key to your freedom

785
00:45:39,820 --> 00:45:41,788
was inside of you
the entire time.

786
00:45:42,198 --> 00:45:44,326
It's a cheap but
effective method.

787
00:45:44,825 --> 00:45:46,042
The problem is

788
00:45:49,997 --> 00:45:52,671
I once mentioned it in
an article that I wrote.

789
00:45:55,253 --> 00:45:57,051
Prosecution never knew that.

790
00:45:59,006 --> 00:46:00,349
Someone's framing you?

791
00:46:00,508 --> 00:46:01,805
It's more than that.

792
00:46:03,636 --> 00:46:05,104
There was a tripod.

793
00:46:05,805 --> 00:46:06,806
Right.

794
00:46:07,932 --> 00:46:09,309
Facing her body.

795
00:46:09,725 --> 00:46:11,773
Are we back on the record?
Yes.

796
00:46:12,395 --> 00:46:15,114
The tripod had no
fingerprints on it.

797
00:46:15,189 --> 00:46:18,489
That means somebody brought
it there, set it up,

798
00:46:18,567 --> 00:46:20,820
wiped it clean, and left it.

799
00:46:21,737 --> 00:46:22,989
Why?

800
00:46:23,072 --> 00:46:26,497
It's as if they wanted me to
know that somewhere out there

801
00:46:26,575 --> 00:46:29,545
is a record of exactly what
happened that afternoon.

802
00:46:29,620 --> 00:46:31,338
As if they wanted me to die

803
00:46:31,414 --> 00:46:34,714
knowing that the key to my
freedom is out there somewhere.

804
00:46:37,461 --> 00:46:39,680
Maybe you're being paranoid.

805
00:46:39,755 --> 00:46:43,134
I used to be the state's leading
death penalty abolitionist.

806
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,642
Now I'm on death row! Doesn't
that strike you as a little odd?

807
00:46:48,556 --> 00:46:50,274
Any idea who "they" are?

808
00:46:51,684 --> 00:46:54,403
No, but I've got
someone working on that.

809
00:46:55,521 --> 00:46:58,149
Someone I'm relying on
to prove my innocence.

810
00:46:58,232 --> 00:46:59,950
Belyeu has hired a detective?

811
00:47:01,319 --> 00:47:02,571
A journalist.

812
00:47:03,738 --> 00:47:05,240
She has to help me.

813
00:47:09,618 --> 00:47:10,915
You know I'm innocent.

814
00:47:11,037 --> 00:47:12,038
No.

815
00:47:15,916 --> 00:47:16,917
No, I don't.

816
00:47:26,969 --> 00:47:29,017
Wear me like a fur, Daddy.

817
00:47:29,096 --> 00:47:31,144
Okay, who's your hero?

818
00:47:32,016 --> 00:47:33,609
All right,
you go get Cloud Dog.

819
00:47:33,726 --> 00:47:35,319
Hey, Cloud Dog!

820
00:47:37,772 --> 00:47:39,399
Cali me when you land.

821
00:47:41,233 --> 00:47:43,736
Has any couple ever really
survived a trial separation?

822
00:47:43,819 --> 00:47:46,538
Isn't it contrary to the idea
of trying to work things out?

823
00:47:46,614 --> 00:47:47,786
SHARON: Don't.

824
00:47:49,116 --> 00:47:50,743
Get in, sweetie.

825
00:47:53,454 --> 00:47:54,876
See you later, alligator.

After a while, crocodile.

Take it easy,

Okey-dokey,

829
00:48:01,045 --> 00:48:02,092
SHARON: Scoot.

830
00:48:05,091 --> 00:48:06,263
Listen.

831
00:48:06,384 --> 00:48:07,556
I sent you an e-mail.

832
00:48:09,553 --> 00:48:10,805
An e-mail?

833
00:48:11,263 --> 00:48:12,480
Just read it.

834
00:48:23,859 --> 00:48:25,236
SHARON: Come on, sweetie.

835
00:49:03,274 --> 00:49:04,526
Just read it.

least hide the bottle.

837

Well?

838
00:49:35,347 --> 00:49:37,441
Officially,
you're on sabbatical.

839

Unofficially, they
want you out of here.

840
00:49:41,729 --> 00:49:43,197
It was four to two.

841
00:49:45,107 --> 00:49:46,529
How did Ross vote?

842
00:49:48,319 --> 00:49:49,866
I'm not supposed to...

843
00:49:52,364 --> 00:49:53,536
Against you.

844

And you?

845
00:50:06,879 --> 00:50:07,880
For you.

I have phoned before, yes?

851
00:51:01,642 --> 00:51:02,768
Can...

852
00:51:10,526 --> 00:51:12,119
What? No, never mind.

853
00:51:12,194 --> 00:51:15,038
Can you please get Sharon Gale?

854
00:51:15,823 --> 00:51:17,541
Yes, Miss Gale!

I wanted to hear your
feedback on the idea.

858
00:51:50,816 --> 00:51:52,568
Look, Professor Gale,

859
00:51:52,651 --> 00:51:54,870
I could sit here
like others have,

860
00:51:54,987 --> 00:51:57,206
and plead
departmental cutbacks,

861
00:51:57,656 --> 00:52:00,876
claim you need more publications,
I need a minority.

862
00:52:01,368 --> 00:52:02,585

Your record's brilliant.

865
00:52:07,625 --> 00:52:09,593
You're an original
voice, worth,

866
00:52:09,710 --> 00:52:11,633

capitalist system under which
we toil, your weight in gold.

868

Hell, it's not even
your alcohol problem.

869
00:52:19,553 --> 00:52:23,558
It would be nice to have a faculty
member whose crutch wasn't Prozac.

870
00:52:24,350 --> 00:52:27,650
But to speak plain,
if I were to hire you,

871
00:52:27,728 --> 00:52:30,151
in the eyes of the
regents, the alumni,

and every freshman
with an ear for gossip,

873
00:52:33,233 --> 00:52:35,156
I'd be hiring a rapist.

874
00:52:35,527 --> 00:52:37,495
Those charges were dropped.

875
00:52:37,571 --> 00:52:39,949
People would say
you had a good lawyer.

876
00:52:40,908 --> 00:52:42,251
I was innocent.

877
00:52:43,118 --> 00:52:44,586
You don't get it, do you?

878
00:52:44,662 --> 00:52:47,256
You're not politically correct.

879
00:52:47,790 --> 00:52:49,292
Welcome to the club.

880
00:52:52,711 --> 00:52:55,214
DAVID: Socrates is
sentenced to death.

881
00:52:57,424 --> 00:53:00,348
I bet you didn't know that.
He was sentenced to death.

882
00:53:00,427 --> 00:53:04,398
But Athenian law
let the condemned

883
00:53:04,473 --> 00:53:07,022
come up with their own
alternate punishment.

884
00:53:07,601 --> 00:53:09,103
Isn't that a great idea?

885
00:53:09,186 --> 00:53:12,030
Where are the Athenians
when you really need them?

886
00:53:13,691 --> 00:53:15,739
So anyway, Socrates...

887
00:53:15,818 --> 00:53:17,786
And he was ugly.
Did I mention that?

888
00:53:17,861 --> 00:53:20,956
Did I mention that
Socrates was ugly?

889
00:53:21,031 --> 00:53:23,284
Socrates was ugly,
Plato was fat,

890
00:53:23,409 --> 00:53:25,628
and Aristotle was
a prissy dresser.

891
00:53:27,246 --> 00:53:30,841
So anyway, Socrates comes
up with this idea.

892
00:53:30,916 --> 00:53:35,137
He says, "What if I pay
a fine instead of death?"

893
00:53:35,212 --> 00:53:36,930
He suggests a fine.

894
00:53:37,005 --> 00:53:39,099
All he has to do
in order to live is

895
00:53:39,216 --> 00:53:41,218
to come up with
an appropriately

896
00:53:41,301 --> 00:53:42,894
punitive figure.

897
00:53:45,097 --> 00:53:48,067
Guess what he
suggested? $30!

898
00:53:52,187 --> 00:53:54,986
Does that make
any sense? $30.

899
00:53:55,065 --> 00:53:57,488
That's 30 mina. That was the
currency of the day, a mina.

900
00:53:57,568 --> 00:53:59,366
Well, minae.

901
00:53:59,445 --> 00:54:00,947
That's plural. Minae.

And the judges are so pissed that
more of them voted to kill him

905
00:54:10,748 --> 00:54:12,625
than had voted him
guilty in the first place.

906
00:54:12,708 --> 00:54:14,585
That doesn't make any sense.

907
00:54:15,586 --> 00:54:17,259
Thirty pieces of silver.

908
00:54:18,005 --> 00:54:19,552

00:58:16,576 --> 00:58:17,953
DAVID: There he is.

958
00:58:18,036 --> 00:58:21,415
Dusty, does she ever invite you
over and not put you to work?

959
00:58:25,419 --> 00:58:27,592
All right, tell me her story.

960
00:58:27,671 --> 00:58:29,844
She was sentenced at 17.

961
00:58:29,923 --> 00:58:32,893
I really want to get behind this one.
She's so articulate.

962
00:58:32,968 --> 00:58:34,015
Who did she kill?

963
00:58:34,094 --> 00:58:35,846
She'll put a face
on the death penalty.

964
00:58:35,929 --> 00:58:38,227
Constance, who did she kill?

965
00:58:39,057 --> 00:58:40,058
A cop.

966
00:58:40,767 --> 00:58:41,893
You're crazy.

967
00:58:41,977 --> 00:58:45,197
Not just your medium-range, thinks-
she's-Roosevelt's-bath robe,

968
00:58:45,272 --> 00:58:49,277
but I mean stark-raving,
screws-loose, in-the-belfry insane!

969
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:50,906
Seventeen.

970
00:58:51,486 --> 00:58:53,955
Four years before she could
legally drink a beer.

971
00:58:54,031 --> 00:58:55,999
But she killed a cop, Constance.

972
00:58:56,074 --> 00:58:58,076
Will you help?
Of course.

973
00:58:59,953 --> 00:59:01,330
You're burning up.

974
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:14,892
Hi, Mr. Gale.

975
00:59:14,968 --> 00:59:16,970
How are you?
It's good to see...

976
00:59:29,441 --> 00:59:31,443
Caffeine jolt.
We deliver.

977
00:59:31,526 --> 00:59:32,823
Howdy, David.
Howdy, folks.

978
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:36,248
Hello. My, this is service.
Thank you.

979
00:59:36,323 --> 00:59:38,621
Gladly. Latte on the left
there for you, John.

980
00:59:38,700 --> 00:59:40,168
Mocha.
Thanks.

981
00:59:41,161 --> 00:59:43,129
She's on the phone to Washington.

982
00:59:43,246 --> 00:59:45,248
Sinclair, new National Director.

983
00:59:48,335 --> 00:59:50,963
I'm sure we can get some
pulpit time, maybe some cable.

984
00:59:51,088 --> 00:59:53,056
<i>DIRECTOR (ON SPEAKERPHONE):
Cable's good. Listen, I need to run.</i>

985
00:59:53,131 --> 00:59:54,929
<i>I agree the first press release</i>

986
00:59:55,008 --> 00:59:56,851
<i>should focus on
the woman's youth.</i>

987
00:59:56,927 --> 00:59:59,271
<i>I'll have Washington
look into counsel competency.</i>

988
00:59:59,346 --> 01:00:02,316
<i>Though I'm almost sure she's
exhausted this on appeal.</i>

989
01:00:02,390 --> 01:00:04,734
<i>See what resources...
David's going to go.</i>

990
01:00:04,810 --> 01:00:07,313
<i>I almost forgot.
Gale's not around, is he?</i>

991
01:00:08,438 --> 01:00:09,610
No.

992
01:00:09,731 --> 01:00:10,948
<i>Good. Keep it that way.</i>

993
01:00:11,024 --> 01:00:13,573
<i>His relationship
with Death Watch is over.</i>

994
01:00:13,652 --> 01:00:16,701
<i>Last thing we need is this rape
thing coming back to bite us.</i>

995
01:00:16,780 --> 01:00:18,908
<i>These guys don't stay
on the wagon for long.</i>

996
01:00:19,533 --> 01:00:21,001
<i>I'm serious, Constance.</i>

997
01:00:21,076 --> 01:00:24,125
<i>Ban him from the premises.
I realize the two of you...</i>

998
01:00:31,586 --> 01:00:32,678
David!

999
01:00:49,938 --> 01:00:53,818
DAVID: Sharon, pick up the phone.
I'm begging you.

1000
01:00:53,900 --> 01:00:55,447
He's my son, all right?

1001
01:00:55,527 --> 01:00:57,950
He's my son, too,
and I want to talk to him.

1002
01:00:58,029 --> 01:01:00,157
You've not let... Hello?

1003
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,493
Jamie, is that you?

1004
01:01:02,576 --> 01:01:05,204
Hey, little moose horn.

1005
01:01:05,996 --> 01:01:07,919
I miss you so much.
It's Daddy.

1006
01:01:10,917 --> 01:01:14,137
Jamie, wait.
Don't hang up the phone!

1007
01:01:15,714 --> 01:01:16,840
God damn it!

1008
01:01:26,474 --> 01:01:27,771
Fuck!

1009
01:02:15,690 --> 01:02:17,237
(DAVID COUGHS)

1010
01:02:18,318 --> 01:02:19,615
You scared me.

1011
01:02:20,111 --> 01:02:21,829
My sheep needs a manager.

1012
01:02:22,739 --> 01:02:23,911
A manger.

1013
01:02:23,990 --> 01:02:25,788
My sheep needs a manger.

1014
01:02:27,202 --> 01:02:28,704
Are you okay?

1015
01:02:31,373 --> 01:02:33,717
I fell off the wagon,
and I hurt myself.

1016
01:02:35,710 --> 01:02:37,257
Come on inside.

1017
01:02:43,134 --> 01:02:47,014
Do you know why St. Jude is the
patron saint of lost causes?

1018
01:02:47,097 --> 01:02:49,350
'Cause his real name was Judas.

1019
01:02:50,100 --> 01:02:53,104
Judas! There were
two Judases.

1020
01:02:53,186 --> 01:02:57,032
Judae, who was the saint
guy, and then the other one,

1021
01:02:57,732 --> 01:02:59,780
Judas, who was the bad one.

1022
01:02:59,859 --> 01:03:03,864
He's the one who ratted out
Jesus and tried to kiss him.

1023
01:03:03,947 --> 01:03:06,621
In medieval times, they would
never pray to the good Judas

1024
01:03:06,700 --> 01:03:09,874
for fear of getting the bad Judas
on the line just by mistake.

1025
01:03:09,953 --> 01:03:12,752
Ergo, they never
really gave him business

1026
01:03:12,831 --> 01:03:14,708
unless absolutely desperate.

1027
01:03:16,042 --> 01:03:19,296
That's why. And then
they changed his name.

1028
01:03:19,963 --> 01:03:21,761
Your mail is blowing.

1029
01:03:34,477 --> 01:03:35,478
Shit.

1030
01:03:41,109 --> 01:03:44,113
Are you the doctor?
What's wrong with her?

1031
01:03:44,195 --> 01:03:45,162
She'll be fine.

1032
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:47,206
How do you know?
Calm down.

1033
01:03:47,282 --> 01:03:50,832
She was opening her mail and fell over.
I don't know what's wrong.

1034
01:03:50,910 --> 01:03:52,378
Please.
Is there a doctor?

1035
01:03:52,495 --> 01:03:53,963
Wait here.

1036
01:03:54,039 --> 01:03:55,165
I have to go with her!

1037
01:03:55,290 --> 01:03:56,382
Hold up, Professor!

1038
01:03:56,458 --> 01:03:58,677
You want to get arrested again?

1039
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:02,638
How do you know who I am?

1040
01:04:02,714 --> 01:04:04,933
I watch the news.
Now go wait.

1041
01:04:41,294 --> 01:04:43,717
How're we doing?
Fine. How's Constance?

1042
01:04:43,797 --> 01:04:44,798
Sleeping.

1043
01:04:46,091 --> 01:04:47,764
A leukemia patient's
condition is

1044
01:04:47,842 --> 01:04:49,435
very susceptible to
external stress...

1045
01:04:49,511 --> 01:04:50,512
What?

1046
01:04:52,305 --> 01:04:55,479
Constance's illness requires
a degree of regularity.

1047
01:04:58,812 --> 01:05:00,485
Constance has leukemia?

1048
01:05:02,399 --> 01:05:03,776
You didn't know?

1049
01:05:06,403 --> 01:05:07,495
Wait.

1050
01:05:12,117 --> 01:05:13,334
No, I didn't.

1051
01:05:22,794 --> 01:05:25,297
It's funny how selfish
we can be, isn't it?

1052
01:05:28,174 --> 01:05:31,804
When I first heard Constance was
dying, I was so mad at her.

1053
01:05:34,097 --> 01:05:35,895
I thought, "How can
you do this to me?

1054
01:05:35,974 --> 01:05:39,274
"I mean, you know how hard it is
for me to need other people."

1055
01:05:42,147 --> 01:05:43,865
Why hadn't she told you?

1056
01:05:45,984 --> 01:05:47,702
She said she was too busy.

1057
01:05:50,655 --> 01:05:52,749
I guess since
death was chasing her,

1058
01:05:52,824 --> 01:05:54,918
she wanted to help
other people avoid it.

1059
01:05:59,914 --> 01:06:02,042
That's what she
did with her life.

1060
01:06:05,462 --> 01:06:10,093
Constance left this world a
better place than she found it.

1061
01:06:13,595 --> 01:06:16,724
It's a small but difficult thing.

1062
01:06:58,598 --> 01:07:01,943
Let's go.
So, what'd you get?

1063
01:07:02,018 --> 01:07:05,022
I talked to the Austin prosecutor.
Belyeu's a joke.

1064
01:07:05,104 --> 01:07:08,608
Actually, the exact phrase he
used was, "Big hat, no cattle."

1065
01:07:08,733 --> 01:07:10,451
He was sanctioned twice.
What?

1066
01:07:10,527 --> 01:07:12,370
Seriously fucked up
the penalty phase.

1067
01:07:12,445 --> 01:07:15,073
He could have got life
on mitigating factors.

1068
01:07:15,156 --> 01:07:17,033
Despite major pro bono offers

1069
01:07:17,116 --> 01:07:18,868
from some of the top
lawyers in the country,

1070
01:07:18,952 --> 01:07:20,579
Gale stuck with him all through

1071
01:07:20,703 --> 01:07:22,296
the appeals process,
which by the way,

1072
01:07:22,372 --> 01:07:24,625
Belyeu continued to screw up.

1073
01:07:24,707 --> 01:07:27,836
So, Belyeu's a joke.
Great.

1074
01:07:30,088 --> 01:07:32,216
BITSEY: Anything else?
Nothing on Berlin.

1075
01:07:32,298 --> 01:07:34,721
We pick up the payola money
in Houston tonight.

1076
01:07:34,801 --> 01:07:36,144
Houston?

1077
01:07:36,261 --> 01:07:37,582
That's what the head office said.

1078
01:07:37,637 --> 01:07:39,059
Overheat light came on twice...

1079
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:40,602
Come on.

1080
01:08:07,625 --> 01:08:10,799
Oh, man, I never knew $1
million could weigh so much.

1081
01:08:10,878 --> 01:08:12,175
$500,000.

1082
01:08:12,297 --> 01:08:13,514
It's still heavy.

1083
01:08:13,590 --> 01:08:15,763
But $1 million sounds
better for our...

1084
01:08:15,842 --> 01:08:18,265
Excuse me, your story.
$1 million.

1085
01:08:18,344 --> 01:08:20,346
No, wait.
$1 million in cash.

1086
01:08:20,471 --> 01:08:22,439
Just relax, Zack.
It's only money.

1087
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:32,734
So you coming in?

1088
01:08:34,819 --> 01:08:35,911
Excuse me?

1089
01:08:37,238 --> 01:08:38,740
You want to come in?

1090
01:08:40,283 --> 01:08:41,284
Please.

1091
01:08:41,618 --> 01:08:44,246
What? I thought you were
into guys with money.

1092
01:08:48,207 --> 01:08:49,333
Zack?

1093
01:08:49,417 --> 01:08:50,964
ZACK: What?
It's open.

1094
01:08:52,378 --> 01:08:54,221
Well, maybe the maid forgot.

1095
01:08:56,549 --> 01:08:57,550
Look.

1096
01:09:05,224 --> 01:09:06,897
We got to call somebody.

1097
01:09:10,396 --> 01:09:11,397
Wait.

1098
01:09:23,701 --> 01:09:25,578
What is that?
I don't know.

1099
01:09:42,345 --> 01:09:43,688
(WHISPERING):
This is not good.

1100
01:09:58,611 --> 01:09:59,783
I'm gonna check the bathroom.

1101
01:09:59,946 --> 01:10:01,118
No, Bitsey.

1102
01:10:01,197 --> 01:10:02,574
Wait there.

1103
01:10:41,654 --> 01:10:43,156
Bitsey!
What?

1104
01:10:43,823 --> 01:10:45,040
Zack, there could
have been prints.

1105
01:10:45,158 --> 01:10:46,375
Look.

1106
01:11:04,927 --> 01:11:07,055
The lady at reception says
no one asked for you.

1107
01:11:07,138 --> 01:11:09,937
All the keys are different. She
and her husband have masters.

1108
01:11:10,016 --> 01:11:11,188
What'd you tell her?

1109
01:11:11,350 --> 01:11:12,522
You have a jealous boyfriend.

1110
01:11:12,602 --> 01:11:13,694
How about the VCR?

1111
01:11:13,853 --> 01:11:14,945
She didn't ask.

1112
01:11:15,021 --> 01:11:17,991
I think she assumed it had something
to do with why he was jealous.

1113
01:11:18,065 --> 01:11:19,942
You sure we shouldn't
call the cops?

1114
01:11:20,026 --> 01:11:21,949
Whoever got in
here without a key

1115
01:11:22,028 --> 01:11:23,701
in broad daylight,
was smart enough

1116
01:11:23,780 --> 01:11:26,249
not to leave prints.
I have the remote. Here.

1117
01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:29,828
You sure you want to
see what's on here?

1118
01:11:31,996 --> 01:11:33,088
Try three.

1119
01:11:35,041 --> 01:11:37,339
I hope this isn't
what I think it is.

1120
01:11:44,258 --> 01:11:45,475
Oh, my God.

1121
01:11:49,138 --> 01:11:50,185
Is it her?

1122
01:11:50,306 --> 01:11:51,398
That's her.

1123
01:12:42,942 --> 01:12:46,116
Belyeu said to bring the
tape first thing tomorrow.

1124
01:12:47,530 --> 01:12:51,160
He also said you were right
about not calling the police.

1125
01:12:56,622 --> 01:12:58,624
You gonna be all right?

1126
01:13:24,150 --> 01:13:25,402
He deserves it
though, probably.

1127
01:13:25,484 --> 01:13:27,327
There's a lot of sick
people in this world,

1128
01:13:27,403 --> 01:13:29,155
and if they done
wrong and found guilty...

1129
01:13:29,238 --> 01:13:31,832
All right, let's just say
Gale's telling the truth.

1130
01:13:31,908 --> 01:13:33,956
Maybe some right-wing
fuck set him up,

1131
01:13:34,035 --> 01:13:35,412
arranged the perfect murder.

1132
01:13:35,494 --> 01:13:37,713
Why would you send a
magazine journalist proof

1133
01:13:37,788 --> 01:13:39,085
a few hours before you'd won?

1134
01:13:39,165 --> 01:13:40,667
It does not make sense.

1135
01:13:40,833 --> 01:13:42,335
No, it's perfect.

1136
01:13:43,127 --> 01:13:46,301
Whoever this is knows how hard
it is to get a retrial in Texas.

1137
01:13:46,380 --> 01:13:48,257
They know the magazine
can't give this

1138
01:13:48,341 --> 01:13:50,264
any substantial play
before the execution.

1139
01:13:50,343 --> 01:13:54,098
We'd have to give it to a daily or
a network. That won't happen.

1140
01:13:54,180 --> 01:13:57,354
But mostly, they know
I'll tell Gale today.

1141
01:13:58,225 --> 01:13:59,226
So?

1142
01:14:00,895 --> 01:14:04,195
What if Constance's murder was
just a means of getting at Gale?

1143
01:14:04,273 --> 01:14:07,322
Not only to get rid of him, but
to make abolitionists look crazy.

1144
01:14:07,401 --> 01:14:10,780
Of course, he sympathizes
with murderers. He is one.

1145
01:14:10,863 --> 01:14:13,082
They make sure he sits
six years on death row

1146
01:14:13,157 --> 01:14:15,785
for a brutal rape and murder,
then they let him die.

1147
01:14:15,868 --> 01:14:18,587
Die knowing everyone will
remember him with disgust.

1148
01:14:18,663 --> 01:14:22,509
They destroy his life, his work,
his memory. And they make him watch.

1149
01:14:24,585 --> 01:14:26,132
That's a lot of hate.

1150
01:14:28,005 --> 01:14:29,848
Well, then why release it?

1151
01:14:29,924 --> 01:14:31,642
Hate's no fun if you
keep it to yourself.

1152
01:14:50,778 --> 01:14:51,779
BITSEY: We got company.

1153
01:14:51,904 --> 01:14:52,905
Who? The cowboy?

1154
01:14:54,573 --> 01:14:56,917
BITSEY: And doing
a lousy job of hiding.

1155
01:14:57,910 --> 01:14:59,378
He must think we're idiots.

1156
01:14:59,495 --> 01:15:00,917
BITSEY: Is he gaining?

1157
01:15:00,997 --> 01:15:02,715
No. He's just
sitting back there.

1158
01:15:02,832 --> 01:15:04,584
Get a license plate number.

1159
01:15:09,422 --> 01:15:10,594
God, I'm sorry.

1160
01:15:10,756 --> 01:15:11,928
He's turned off.

1161
01:15:12,883 --> 01:15:14,601
BITSEY:
What does this guy want?

1162
01:15:18,681 --> 01:15:21,685
BELYEU: Fine. Bobbi, could you make
a quick copy of that videotape

1163
01:15:21,767 --> 01:15:24,691
and bring in Miss Bloom's
original when that's done?

1164
01:15:26,105 --> 01:15:28,358
I don't blame you for
not watching that twice.

1165
01:15:28,441 --> 01:15:29,613
I couldn't sleep afterwards.

1166
01:15:29,734 --> 01:15:30,826
I understand.

1167
01:15:30,901 --> 01:15:33,495
I tell folks I'm no more
afraid of the Grim Reaper

1168
01:15:33,571 --> 01:15:35,949
than I am of a Presbyterian
on Mother's Day.

1169
01:15:36,032 --> 01:15:40,253
But watching that tape,
I had to keep telling myself,

1170
01:15:40,327 --> 01:15:42,750
"That's not Constance,"
just to get through.

1171
01:15:42,830 --> 01:15:45,333
Unfortunately,
others may argue the same.

1172
01:15:45,833 --> 01:15:49,212
But it's in her kitchen.
In her house.

1173
01:15:49,295 --> 01:15:52,515
But currently home to
Weirdoes Incorporated.

1174
01:15:52,590 --> 01:15:55,594
Arguably, that tape could've
been made by anybody with $20

1175
01:15:55,676 --> 01:15:57,553
and a tolerance for vulgarity.

1176
01:15:57,636 --> 01:15:58,836
Will it get us a postponement?

1177
01:15:58,888 --> 01:16:00,060
Us?

1178
01:16:02,641 --> 01:16:04,985
This ain't my first rodeo,
Miss Bloom.

1179
01:16:05,061 --> 01:16:07,860
Now, I got to tell you that
there's a machine a-running.

1180
01:16:07,938 --> 01:16:09,690
And come tomorrow
night at 6:00,

1181
01:16:09,815 --> 01:16:11,567
that machine gonna
want to be fed.

1182
01:16:11,650 --> 01:16:12,993
All here, Mr. Belyeu.

1183
01:16:13,110 --> 01:16:14,453
BELYEU:
Thank you, Aaron.

1184
01:16:14,820 --> 01:16:17,414
Now, to add to our troubles,
your own credibility

1185
01:16:17,490 --> 01:16:18,582
may come into question.

1186
01:16:18,657 --> 01:16:19,624
Why?

1187
01:16:19,700 --> 01:16:21,873
You've been fraternizing
with the condemned.

1188
01:16:21,952 --> 01:16:23,750
I've been what?
In the court's eyes,

1189
01:16:23,829 --> 01:16:26,582
he's the most likely candidate
to have put you onto that tape.

1190
01:16:26,665 --> 01:16:29,464
He's a persuasive man. You're
an out-of-state woman.

1191
01:16:29,543 --> 01:16:30,920
That don't look good.

1192
01:16:31,003 --> 01:16:34,132
Mr. Belyeu, someone put
the tape in my room.

1193
01:16:34,215 --> 01:16:36,468
BELYEU: That's a fact for which
we have no evidence.

1194
01:16:36,550 --> 01:16:37,676
Thank you, Bobbi.

1195
01:16:37,802 --> 01:16:38,849
Thanks.

1196
01:16:40,012 --> 01:16:43,437
Let's not throw a pity party
and sit around reading Kafka.

1197
01:16:43,516 --> 01:16:45,814
Could be we find
a sympathetic judge.

1198
01:16:46,519 --> 01:16:48,271
Now, I'll file within the hour.

1199
01:16:48,354 --> 01:16:50,106
You going to see Gale?
Yeah.

1200
01:16:50,189 --> 01:16:51,907
Fine. I'll give you
a call over to

1201
01:16:52,024 --> 01:16:53,776
the motel later with an update.

1202
01:17:08,207 --> 01:17:10,005
My coat.
Shoot.

1203
01:17:29,562 --> 01:17:30,779
What?
You saw him?

1204
01:17:30,855 --> 01:17:31,902
Who?
The cowboy.

1205
01:17:31,981 --> 01:17:32,982
He was here?

1206
01:17:33,065 --> 01:17:35,818
He's in the lobby! See if his
truck's out front. Tail him.

1207
01:17:35,901 --> 01:17:37,653
Get a license number.
Find out who he is.

1208
01:17:37,736 --> 01:17:39,488
Don't screw it.
It's important.

1209
01:17:39,572 --> 01:17:40,744
But how will you
get to the prison?

1210
01:17:40,906 --> 01:17:42,078
Taxi.

1211
01:18:27,661 --> 01:18:28,662
Fuck!

1212
01:18:33,125 --> 01:18:34,377
You're not being straight.

1213
01:18:34,460 --> 01:18:36,383
I walk out of Belyeu's office,
the guy's in the lobby!

1214
01:18:36,462 --> 01:18:38,055
Maybe you should calm down.

1215
01:18:38,130 --> 01:18:40,303
GUARD (OVER P.A.):
<i>Visitor needs to stay seated.</i>

1216
01:18:42,051 --> 01:18:43,803
Maybe you should sit down.

1217
01:18:50,309 --> 01:18:52,061
His name is Dusty Wright.

1218
01:18:52,144 --> 01:18:54,943
He's the local deathwatch
director before Constance.

1219
01:18:55,022 --> 01:18:57,116
He's a bullhorner.

1220
01:18:57,191 --> 01:18:58,443
He's a zealot who thinks

1221
01:18:58,525 --> 01:19:01,995
that a good demonstration has
to end with riots and arrests.

1222
01:19:02,988 --> 01:19:05,787
Deathwatch fired him because
he punched someone at a rally.

1223
01:19:05,866 --> 01:19:08,460
But Constance kept
him in the organization.

1224
01:19:08,535 --> 01:19:12,585
He adored her. They were close.
Real close.

1225
01:19:14,458 --> 01:19:16,085
He testified at my trial.

1226
01:19:16,502 --> 01:19:19,847
Testified to support you, or
to oppose the death penalty?

1227
01:19:20,756 --> 01:19:22,178
He testified against me.

1228
01:19:22,299 --> 01:19:23,721
Against you?

1229
01:19:23,801 --> 01:19:26,020
He testified
about the drinking.

1230
01:19:26,095 --> 01:19:28,848
Alcohol is a mitigating
factor in capital cases.

1231
01:19:29,974 --> 01:19:31,942
I always told
myself that he did it

1232
01:19:32,017 --> 01:19:35,738
in some sick way to try to help
me get a reduced sentence.

1233
01:19:36,939 --> 01:19:39,033
I guess he believes
I really killed her.

1234
01:19:39,692 --> 01:19:42,070
Dusty's a man easily
blinded by hatred.

1235
01:19:44,697 --> 01:19:47,576
Maybe he hated you because
you were seeing Constance.

1236
01:19:47,658 --> 01:19:49,376
I wasn't seeing Constance.

1237
01:19:49,493 --> 01:19:51,166
She had your semen inside her.

1238
01:19:51,245 --> 01:19:54,374
I know. Look, it's a little
more complicated than that.

Hey, did you make it
to your meeting today?

1261
01:22:05,003 --> 01:22:08,883
Yeah. But I think I have to
find one less guru-like.

1262
01:22:10,968 --> 01:22:13,221
Did you take your medicine?

1263
01:22:15,389 --> 01:22:16,561

01:22:37,828 --> 01:22:39,296
Bargaining.

1268
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:44,297
Depression.

1269
01:22:44,418 --> 01:22:45,715
Depression.
Acceptance.

1270
01:22:45,794 --> 01:22:47,637
Which one are you?
Denial.

1271
01:22:47,713 --> 01:22:50,182
Denial's good.
That's a good one.

1272
01:22:51,175 --> 01:22:54,645
The whole idea of there being
a process makes me tired.

1273
01:22:55,846 --> 01:22:58,315
I'm not up to the
job of dying person.

1274
01:22:58,390 --> 01:23:00,734
Marveling at blades of grass,

1275
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:04,063
lecturing strangers
to relish every moment.

1276
01:23:05,189 --> 01:23:07,442
Mending bridges.

1277
01:23:08,609 --> 01:23:10,532
Confessing regrets.

1278
01:23:10,611 --> 01:23:11,863
What? No regrets?

1279
01:23:11,987 --> 01:23:13,239
Nope.

1280
01:23:15,282 --> 01:23:16,283
Wow.

1281
01:23:18,744 --> 01:23:20,417
I take that back.

1282
01:23:22,206 --> 01:23:23,799
I wish I'd had a child.

1283
01:23:23,916 --> 01:23:25,543
Yeah, so do I.

1284
01:23:25,626 --> 01:23:27,424
I'm sorry, David.
No.

1285
01:23:31,006 --> 01:23:34,510
I guess I just wish
I had risked more.

1286
01:23:36,428 --> 01:23:38,305
And not enough sex.

1287
01:23:39,097 --> 01:23:40,440
I should have had more sex.

1288
01:23:40,557 --> 01:23:41,854
Really?

1289
01:23:49,233 --> 01:23:51,076
How many lovers did you have?

1290
01:23:51,151 --> 01:23:52,824
Including college?

1291
01:23:52,903 --> 01:23:54,576
Including college.

1292
01:24:04,581 --> 01:24:07,551
Sex is really... It's not
all it's cracked up to be.

1293
01:24:08,669 --> 01:24:10,137
It's so overrated.

1294
01:24:12,464 --> 01:24:14,341
DAVID: You should have
had more sex.

1295
01:24:17,469 --> 01:24:20,689
You work so hard not to
be seen as a sex object.

1296
01:24:22,474 --> 01:24:24,693
Before long,
you're not seen at all.

1297
01:24:29,940 --> 01:24:31,112
I see you.

1298
01:24:38,323 --> 01:24:40,075
You want to make it five?

1299
01:24:41,660 --> 01:24:43,082
Complete the hand?

1300
01:24:43,829 --> 01:24:45,331
What? A pity lay?

1301
01:24:47,082 --> 01:24:48,208
No, thanks.

1302
01:24:55,591 --> 01:24:57,093
It wouldn't be pity.

1303
01:25:17,195 --> 01:25:18,447
DAVID: Are you okay?

1304
01:25:18,572 --> 01:25:19,824
CONSTANCE: Yeah, don't worry.

1305
01:25:19,906 --> 01:25:22,000
No, it's good.

1306
01:25:22,075 --> 01:25:24,624
Just talk to me.
Let me hear your voice.

1307
01:25:24,703 --> 01:25:27,752
DAVID:
I'm here. I'm so happy.

1308
01:25:27,873 --> 01:25:31,468
Hold me tight.
God, I'm so scared.

1309
01:25:32,836 --> 01:25:34,088
It's okay.

1310
01:25:34,212 --> 01:25:35,509
No, don't stop.
Just...

1311
01:25:36,381 --> 01:25:37,724
No, stay in me, please.

1312
01:25:37,883 --> 01:25:39,260
Okay.

1313
01:25:40,677 --> 01:25:43,556
I need just to feel you inside.

1314
01:25:43,639 --> 01:25:45,641
I'm right here.

1315
01:25:45,724 --> 01:25:47,192
I'm so tired.

1316
01:25:52,064 --> 01:25:54,487
I'm so tired of being so afraid.

1317
01:25:54,566 --> 01:25:56,409
I know. I'm here.

1318
01:25:57,152 --> 01:26:00,076
Help me. Please.

1319
01:26:01,782 --> 01:26:03,580
Just make it go away.

1320
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:09,582
DAVID: I'm right here.

1321
01:26:11,416 --> 01:26:13,418
I'm not going anywhere.

(DOG BARKS)

1323
01:27:52,267 --> 01:27:53,359
Can I help you?

1324
01:27:53,477 --> 01:27:54,524
No.

1325
01:27:54,603 --> 01:27:56,776
I'm leaving.
I'm sorry. Thanks.

1326

(TRAIN WHISTLES AS IT APPROACHES CROSSING)

1327
01:29:11,304 --> 01:29:12,851
It was Dusty.

1328
01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:17,019
He had a motive. He knew you both.
He visited that morning.

1329
01:29:17,102 --> 01:29:19,855
If I could answer
that for sure,

1330
01:29:19,938 --> 01:29:22,737
we wouldn't be
having this conversation.

1331
01:29:23,275 --> 01:29:26,700
It's what I need you for.
It's why I chose you.

1332
01:29:26,778 --> 01:29:28,200
Now I've told you everything.

1333
01:29:28,321 --> 01:29:29,789
But I still don't know.

1334
01:29:30,115 --> 01:29:31,537
I need more time.

1335
01:29:31,658 --> 01:29:33,126
You'll find time.

1336
01:29:33,785 --> 01:29:35,958
You should have
done this earlier.

1337
01:29:36,121 --> 01:29:38,294
You're not here to save me.

1338
01:29:38,373 --> 01:29:41,718
You're here to save my son's
memory of his father.

1339
01:29:43,795 --> 01:29:45,138
That's all I want.

1340
01:29:47,465 --> 01:29:49,718
You're gonna let them kill you?

1341
01:29:49,801 --> 01:29:53,726
Bitsey, we spend our whole
lives trying to stop death.

1342
01:29:53,805 --> 01:29:56,479
Eating, inventing, loving,

1343
01:29:57,309 --> 01:29:59,937
Praying, fighting,

1344
01:30:01,563 --> 01:30:02,564
killing.

1345
01:30:03,815 --> 01:30:06,489
But what do we
really know about death?

1346
01:30:06,568 --> 01:30:08,366
Just that nobody comes back.

1347
01:30:10,238 --> 01:30:12,457
But there comes
a point in life,

1348
01:30:13,325 --> 01:30:14,622
a moment,

1349
01:30:15,827 --> 01:30:19,001
when your mind
outlives its desires,

1350
01:30:20,290 --> 01:30:21,883
its obsessions.

1351
01:30:23,418 --> 01:30:25,170
When your habits

1352
01:30:26,421 --> 01:30:28,344
survive your dreams.

1353
01:30:31,927 --> 01:30:34,180
And when your losses...

1354
01:30:40,435 --> 01:30:42,108
Maybe death is a gift.

1355
01:30:44,856 --> 01:30:46,028
You wonder.

1356
01:30:46,191 --> 01:30:47,317
GUARD: That's it.

1357
01:30:47,859 --> 01:30:48,985
Let's go, Gale.

1358
01:30:54,157 --> 01:30:58,162
All I can tell you is that by
this time tomorrow, I'll be dead.

1359
01:30:59,245 --> 01:31:00,747
I know when.

1360
01:31:02,207 --> 01:31:03,925
I just can't say why.

1361
01:31:06,711 --> 01:31:08,713
You have 24 hours to find out.

1362
01:31:15,053 --> 01:31:16,305
Goodbye, Bitsey.

1363
01:32:12,360 --> 01:32:14,033
Miss Bloom?
Yeah.

1364
01:32:16,114 --> 01:32:18,708
Thought I'd return your coat.
It's getting kind of chilly.

1365
01:32:18,783 --> 01:32:20,751
Any news from our
video intruder friend?

1366
01:32:20,827 --> 01:32:22,875
No. Any word on the appeal?

1367
01:32:22,954 --> 01:32:25,958
Denied. Tape went to a
federal judge two hours ago.

1368
01:32:26,583 --> 01:32:29,052
Now what you got was
definitely a snippet.

1369
01:32:29,127 --> 01:32:31,129
Could be your
video supplier friend

1370
01:32:31,296 --> 01:32:33,264
has more nasty
previews scheduled.

1371
01:32:33,339 --> 01:32:36,058
Best you not get into too
much sightseeing right now.

1372
01:32:36,134 --> 01:32:38,353
Just stick close
to your motel room.

1373
01:32:42,223 --> 01:32:44,225
How's David?
He's holding up.

1374
01:32:44,309 --> 01:32:46,437
Gonna be a hard night.

1375
01:32:46,519 --> 01:32:48,738
Will you tell him
I'll take care of it?

1376
01:32:48,813 --> 01:32:50,360
About his son, I mean.

1377
01:32:50,482 --> 01:32:52,075
I'll do that.

1378
01:32:52,150 --> 01:32:54,323
You staying for the execution?

1379
01:32:55,612 --> 01:32:58,161
Then I'll see you tomorrow.
Watch yourselves.

1380
01:33:02,911 --> 01:33:05,255
Were Dusty Wright
and Constance close?

1381
01:33:05,330 --> 01:33:07,674
Yeah. Thick as thieves,
those two.

1382
01:33:08,625 --> 01:33:09,751
Lovers?

1383
01:33:09,876 --> 01:33:11,002
Whoa, now.

1384
01:33:11,086 --> 01:33:13,464
You're plowing a little
too close to the cotton.

1385
01:33:13,546 --> 01:33:15,799
That was just a rumor.
Nothing more.

1386
01:33:16,257 --> 01:33:17,258
Night-night.

1387
01:36:20,149 --> 01:36:23,119
Wake up! Did you throw
the towel on the floor?

1388
01:36:23,236 --> 01:36:25,580
What? This towel was
on my bathroom floor.

1389
01:36:25,655 --> 01:36:27,032
Did you throw it there?

1390
01:36:27,156 --> 01:36:28,533
I guess. What?
It's a motel.

1391
01:36:28,574 --> 01:36:30,622
Would you do that at home?
No.

1392
01:36:30,702 --> 01:36:33,455
It's not like we're staying
in the frigging Four Seasons.

1393
01:36:33,538 --> 01:36:36,587
Come on, get the TV.
We're taking it with us.

1394
01:36:36,666 --> 01:36:39,670
What are you talking about?
Where are we going?

1395
01:36:39,752 --> 01:36:41,174
Austin. Get the TV.

1396
01:36:41,296 --> 01:36:42,718
All right.

1397
01:36:47,593 --> 01:36:48,594
Hold on.

1398
01:37:11,617 --> 01:37:12,743
Want to make $100?

1399
01:37:12,910 --> 01:37:14,002
NICO: What do I got to do?

1400
01:37:14,078 --> 01:37:16,172
BITSEY: We're going
over the crime scene.

1401
01:37:16,873 --> 01:37:18,750
Put the TV on the bed, Zack.

1402
01:37:22,086 --> 01:37:25,511
Now, for the next hour, I want
you to do exactly what I say

1403
01:37:25,590 --> 01:37:28,594
when I say to do it. If I
say, "Jump," you jump.

1404
01:37:28,676 --> 01:37:30,519
You want me to jump?
A figure of speech.

1405
01:37:30,595 --> 01:37:32,268
Your boyfriend
put the tripod back.

1406
01:37:32,388 --> 01:37:33,935
He's not my boyfriend anymore.

1407
01:37:34,057 --> 01:37:35,855
Still have the video camera?
Yes.

1408
01:37:35,933 --> 01:37:37,901
Good. Get it. I got
to collect first.

1409
01:37:37,977 --> 01:37:39,729
Zack, give her the money.

1410
01:37:47,779 --> 01:37:49,998
Can you move that stuff
off the counter for me?

1411
01:37:50,073 --> 01:37:52,792
By the lamp.
Yeah, thanks.

1412
01:37:59,207 --> 01:38:00,754
Put the gloves
on the dish rack.

1413
01:38:00,875 --> 01:38:02,377
I don't have a dish rack.

1414
01:38:02,919 --> 01:38:04,466
BITSEY: Zack, could you...

1415
01:38:10,218 --> 01:38:11,765
Turn them inside out.

1416
01:38:15,264 --> 01:38:17,437
BITSEY:
Put the duct tape on the floor.

1417
01:38:18,851 --> 01:38:20,103
By the stove.

1418
01:38:25,983 --> 01:38:27,906
Could you...
What's your name?

1419
01:38:27,985 --> 01:38:29,407
Nico's fine.

1420
01:38:29,904 --> 01:38:34,000
Nico, I want you to lie
down facing the counter.

1421
01:38:35,368 --> 01:38:37,120
We can imagine that part.

1422
01:38:42,834 --> 01:38:43,960
Zack, put her in position.

1423
01:38:44,085 --> 01:38:45,211
Okay.

1424
01:38:49,507 --> 01:38:51,009
Move this way.

1425
01:38:51,092 --> 01:38:52,890
All right.
BITSEY: Now forward.

1426
01:38:53,553 --> 01:38:56,181
There. Okay. On her side.

1427
01:38:57,181 --> 01:39:00,230

1431
01:39:14,824 --> 01:39:16,918
I noticed this
back at the motel.

1432
01:39:17,702 --> 01:39:20,046
She moves her foot.
Quite deliberately.

1433
01:39:20,830 --> 01:39:22,332
And then she's still.

1434

If this was a murder,

1437

she'd just be struggling and then
she'd be still. She'd be dead.

She used the gloves to keep her
fingerprints off the tape and bag.

try to rip the bag off.

The guy's a freak.

Dusty's a bullhorner.

was probably for Dusty

1501
01:45:17,561 --> 01:45:20,155
to release the tape
after Gale's conviction.

1502

You know, after a year or so.

1503
01:45:22,274 --> 01:45:25,619
It'd force him to dry out,
give him back his dignity.

So Dusty Wright is sitting
on this tape, waiting.

And he's the only
one who knows about it.

1506
01:45:32,076 --> 01:45:35,000
So Dusty starts to think
that an erroneous execution

1507
01:45:35,079 --> 01:45:37,832
is a lot more politically
useful than a last-minute save.

1508
01:45:37,915 --> 01:45:41,089

only prove the system works.

Dusty's thinking, "What's one
murder if it stops thousands?"

1511
01:45:49,301 --> 01:45:52,555
So, he'll release the whole
tape only after the execution.

1512
