(BIRDS CHIRPING)

2
00:01:23,483 --> 00:01:24,617
BITSEY: Shit!

3
00:02:07,127 --> 00:02:08,595
BITSEY:
Stop, please!

4
00:02:27,947 --> 00:02:31,618
TV REPORTER: In a related story, the
high court had also refused to stay

5
00:02:31,685 --> 00:02:35,555
Friday's execution of former
philosophy professor David Gale.

6
00:02:35,722 --> 00:02:38,825
Gale had sought a review
of his 1994 conviction

7
00:02:38,925 --> 00:02:41,995
for the rape and murder of his
University of Austin colleague,

8
00:02:42,95 --> 00:02:43,496
Constance Harraway.

9
00:02:43,563 --> 00:02:46,166
The case has received
nationwide media attention

10
00:02:46,232 --> 00:02:49,869
because Gale and Harraway
were activists for Death Watch,

11
00:02:49,969 --> 00:02:52,272
a nonprofit abolitionist
organization.

12
00:02:52,339 --> 00:02:57,277
Do you understand how much money taxpayers
pay in Texas to put one person to death?

13
00:02:57,377 --> 00:03:00,146
What do we want?
ALL: No more executions!

14
00:03:00,246 --> 00:03:03,483
DAVID: Governor, can't we all admit
the capital punishment system

15
00:03:03,550 --> 00:03:04,984
in this country is not working?

16
00:03:05,51 --> 00:03:07,854
They're not going to stay Gale.
It's on TV right now. Listen.

17
00:03:07,954 --> 00:03:09,789
Defense lawyers
had hoped to argue

18
00:03:09,856 --> 00:03:12,726
that Gale's former activism
against capital punishment

19
00:03:12,826 --> 00:03:15,528
unduly prejudiced
the Texas judicial system.

20
00:03:15,595 --> 00:03:19,132
The deal was Bitsey would get the
interview if the stay was refused.

21
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:21,334
He'll talk to her for
two hours a day,

22
00:03:21,401 --> 00:03:23,536
Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday.

23
00:03:24,70 --> 00:03:25,839
Can't do Friday. No.

24
00:03:26,406 --> 00:03:28,241
Friday's the day
they execute him.

25
00:03:29,843 --> 00:03:31,878
The lawyer said only Bitsey.

26
00:03:31,978 --> 00:03:33,646
Gale's going down.
Shh!

27
00:03:34,514 --> 00:03:36,616
Only Bitsey means only Bitsey.

28
00:03:36,683 --> 00:03:38,151
I don't get to
make the rules, Joe.

29
00:03:38,218 --> 00:03:39,753
Please, I'm a fat black woman.

30
00:03:39,853 --> 00:03:42,355
What we need is to put
her on a plane to Texas.

31
00:03:42,789 --> 00:03:44,557
Why do you get like
that around legal?

32
00:03:44,624 --> 00:03:46,693
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
00:03:51,765 --> 00:03:53,933
They asked for you,
and no substitutes.

35
00:03:54,34 --> 00:03:56,69
Who's they, exactly?
Gale's lawyers.

36
00:03:56,169 --> 00:03:59,773
More exactly, Gale's lawyer.
Some good old boy in Austin.

37
00:03:59,873 --> 00:04:01,74
Why do they want me?

38
00:04:01,174 --> 00:04:02,375
You don't want the assignment?

39
00:04:02,475 --> 00:04:03,743
I'm not saying that.

40
00:04:03,810 --> 00:04:06,179
I can't see why a guy
about to be executed

41
00:04:06,246 --> 00:04:07,614
should suddenly ask for me.

42
00:04:07,714 --> 00:04:10,950
Maybe they liked your kiddie
porn piece, and going to jail.

43
00:04:11,51 --> 00:04:13,520
Maybe he saw your picture
and thinks you're cute.

44
00:04:13,586 --> 00:04:15,255
So how much access do I get?

45
00:04:15,388 --> 00:04:16,990
Three interviews.
No time for more.

46
00:04:17,90 --> 00:04:18,792
By Friday, the guy's a goner.

47
00:04:19,626 --> 00:04:21,394
What exactly is our story?

48
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:23,296
Rape, murder, death row.

49
00:04:23,663 --> 00:04:26,766
Very intelligent guy.
Maybe he's even innocent.

50
00:04:26,833 --> 00:04:28,234
Yeah, right.

51
00:04:29,135 --> 00:04:31,538
JOE: No, tell him I'll
call him back. Thanks.

52
00:04:31,838 --> 00:04:33,440
BARBARA: So what's
your problem?

53
00:04:33,506 --> 00:04:36,976
JOE: Hi, Barbara. Morning, Bitsey.
Okay, here's my concern.

54
00:04:37,344 --> 00:04:38,778
Setting aside the cost issue,

55
00:04:38,845 --> 00:04:42,115
although $500,000 in cash
for three days of interviews

56
00:04:42,215 --> 00:04:44,150
is not only illegal,
it's obscene.

57
00:04:44,250 --> 00:04:46,986
That's market value.
The guy's never talked.

58
00:04:47,87 --> 00:04:50,623
Aside from that, I, we are still
uncomfortable with the arrangement.

59
00:04:50,957 --> 00:04:51,958
Why?

60
00:04:52,25 --> 00:04:54,627
You just spent a very
public seven days in jail

61
00:04:54,694 --> 00:04:56,963
for a very public
contempt-of-court citation.

62
00:04:57,30 --> 00:05:00,567
For protecting sources. If you
were uncomfortable with the story,

63
00:05:00,633 --> 00:05:03,336
why did you slap it on the
domestic and international covers?

64
00:05:03,436 --> 00:05:07,474
What makes us uncomfortable
is that a rapist/murderer

65
00:05:07,540 --> 00:05:09,909
has asked to spend the last
three days of his life

66
00:05:09,976 --> 00:05:12,278
giving an interview,
his very first,

67
00:05:12,345 --> 00:05:13,947
to a reporter who is now famous

68
00:05:14,47 --> 00:05:15,648
for protecting sexual deviants.

69
00:05:15,715 --> 00:05:18,418
A reporter who is also
a very attractive woman.

70
00:05:18,485 --> 00:05:20,120
This is disparate treatment.

71
00:05:20,253 --> 00:05:21,821
JOE: Oh, boy.

72
00:05:21,888 --> 00:05:23,656
I could go if I
were an ugly guy?

73
00:05:23,723 --> 00:05:27,27
The agenda issue would be diffused
with the presence of a male.

74
00:05:27,127 --> 00:05:29,496
I hear lawyers
gleefully saying,

75
00:05:29,629 --> 00:05:31,998
"Bloom versus
News Magazine Inc."

76
00:05:32,65 --> 00:05:34,634
"Your Honor, I started
to notice my assignments

77
00:05:34,701 --> 00:05:36,970
"were being determined
on the basis of my sex."

78
00:05:37,37 --> 00:05:38,672
You've got to let her go now.

79
00:05:38,738 --> 00:05:40,6
That's not what I meant.

80
00:05:40,140 --> 00:05:41,441
He's got to let you go.

81
00:05:41,508 --> 00:05:43,610
All right. Enough.

82
00:05:43,677 --> 00:05:46,346
But the intern will be
with you at all times.

83
00:05:46,413 --> 00:05:48,148
What? Intern.

84
00:05:48,281 --> 00:05:50,817
No, you've got to be kidding.
That's what he said.

85
00:05:50,884 --> 00:05:52,519
He's a jerk.
He's the boss.

86
00:05:52,585 --> 00:05:54,654
Not an intern.
I always work alone.

87
00:05:54,721 --> 00:05:55,855
Not this time, Bitsey.

88
00:05:55,922 --> 00:05:57,323
I'm not baby-sitting.

89
00:06:13,940 --> 00:06:15,542
He was seen leaving her house.

90
00:06:15,608 --> 00:06:18,578
His prints were all over the
kitchen, including one on the bag.

91
00:06:18,645 --> 00:06:20,80
Half a thumbprint.

92
00:06:20,213 --> 00:06:21,681
Half a thumbprint.
That's enough.

93
00:06:21,748 --> 00:06:24,217
He could've touched it before
it was a murder weapon.

94
00:06:24,284 --> 00:06:26,252
You fondle your
friends' garbage bags?

95
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:28,888
Yeah, I get very touchy
around household plastics.

96
00:06:28,955 --> 00:06:30,924
I'm particularly
fond of Tupperware.

97
00:06:31,24 --> 00:06:32,225
Tupperware?

98
00:06:32,292 --> 00:06:36,529
I'm just saying the bag could've
been sitting on the counter.

99
00:06:37,664 --> 00:06:40,266
He did it. Now he's going to die.
And you know something?

100
00:06:40,333 --> 00:06:42,302
Maybe that's exactly
what he deserves.

101
00:06:42,402 --> 00:06:44,437
But the murder's way
too fucking clumsy.

102
00:06:44,504 --> 00:06:48,708
This guy is an intellectual. Top of
his Harvard class, Rhodes Scholar,

103
00:06:48,775 --> 00:06:51,444
tenured at 27,
two books published.

104
00:06:51,511 --> 00:06:53,213
He's an academic stud.

105
00:06:53,313 --> 00:06:55,882
Look at his wife.
A regular Grace Kelly.

106
00:06:56,449 --> 00:06:59,486
Old money svelte. Father
was ambassador to Spain.

107
00:06:59,586 --> 00:07:01,554
Shit! The light's on again.

108
00:07:01,654 --> 00:07:03,523
Ignore it, it's a rental.

109
00:07:03,923 --> 00:07:05,525
Do you smell anything?

110
00:07:05,658 --> 00:07:07,293
The guy's a flaming Liberal.

111
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,129
A person's politics
has nothing to do

112
00:07:09,195 --> 00:07:10,296
with his tendency
to commit crime.

113
00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:11,464
Wrong.

114
00:07:11,531 --> 00:07:13,466
Shouldn't it smell
if it's overheating?

115
00:07:13,533 --> 00:07:16,469
Seventy-three percent of all
serial killers vote Republican.

116
00:07:16,536 --> 00:07:18,938
Throw your cigarette out,
so we can smell.

117
00:07:21,7 --> 00:07:22,809
You'll stink up the car.
Throw it out.

118
00:07:22,876 --> 00:07:24,678
I'm not going to
fucking pollute.

119
00:07:40,527 --> 00:07:43,263
BITSEY: There's definitely
something wrong with this car.

120
00:07:43,329 --> 00:07:44,664
This is so irritating.

121
00:07:44,731 --> 00:07:46,166
How far to Huntsville?

122
00:07:46,232 --> 00:07:48,134
BITSEY: I'm going to pull off.

123
00:07:48,902 --> 00:07:51,805
"News Magazine reporters
Bitsey Bloom and Zack Stemmons

124
00:07:51,871 --> 00:07:53,673
"entered the rest
area with car troubles.

125
00:07:53,740 --> 00:07:55,375
"Little did they know it wasn't

126
00:07:55,508 --> 00:07:57,110
"just their car
that was in trouble."

127
00:07:58,578 --> 00:08:00,947
I'm a reporter.
You're an intern.

128
00:08:03,516 --> 00:08:04,617
Whatever.

129
00:08:20,567 --> 00:08:21,801
Is it hot?

130
00:08:22,502 --> 00:08:24,738
Jesus, yes!
Isn't it always?

131
00:08:26,39 --> 00:08:27,374
What do I do?

132
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,477
Call the office and get the
rental road service number.

133
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:34,414
No signal.

134
00:08:34,547 --> 00:08:35,648
God damn it.

135
00:08:36,716 --> 00:08:37,984
I've got to pee.

136
00:09:00,273 --> 00:09:01,274
Zack!

137
00:09:03,810 --> 00:09:04,811
Zack!

138
00:09:04,911 --> 00:09:06,146
Yeah?

139
00:09:55,295 --> 00:09:56,830
Morning.
Hi.

140
00:10:00,33 --> 00:10:02,2
A little early
for that, isn't it?

141
00:10:02,602 --> 00:10:04,771
The nonsmoking
section's over there.

142
00:10:05,138 --> 00:10:06,806
I meant the book.

143
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,642
Dialogical Exhaustion
by David Gale.

144
00:10:10,510 --> 00:10:11,978
The guy's a genius.

145
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:13,747
What time is it?

146
00:10:13,847 --> 00:10:14,914
9:15 a.m.

147
00:10:15,715 --> 00:10:17,517
There are 10
prisons around here.

148
00:10:17,650 --> 00:10:19,386
Death row is in the Ellis unit,

149
00:10:19,486 --> 00:10:22,655
but they're moving it to the Terrell
unit at the end of the year.

150
00:10:22,722 --> 00:10:24,491
The waitress's
boyfriend works there.

151
00:10:24,557 --> 00:10:26,826
Her last boyfriend worked
in the Huntsville unit.

152
00:10:26,893 --> 00:10:28,762
The two before that in Walker.

153
00:10:28,828 --> 00:10:30,997
The Estelle unit
has the cutest guys.

154
00:10:31,64 --> 00:10:35,135
And I'm quoting, "My butt's too
big to get an Estelle guy."

155
00:10:37,404 --> 00:10:39,5
Ellis is 15 minutes
out of town.

156
00:10:39,139 --> 00:10:40,740
We've got five
and a half hours.

157
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,943
Never eat in a place where the
menus have pictures of the food.

158
00:10:44,244 --> 00:10:46,946
We should drive into Austin.
Check out the crime scene.

159
00:10:47,13 --> 00:10:49,616
That could be some
great stuff for our story.

160
00:10:49,683 --> 00:10:53,286
This isn't our story. It's not even
a story. It's an interview.

161
00:10:54,220 --> 00:10:57,624
Most importantly for you to
remember, it's my interview.

162
00:10:59,259 --> 00:11:01,695
What do I do for
the next five hours?

163
00:11:01,761 --> 00:11:04,330
Drive around. Look for
a decent restaurant.

164
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:09,803
Your reputation as
Mike Wallace with PMS

165
00:11:09,869 --> 00:11:11,371
doesn't do you justice.

166
00:11:11,738 --> 00:11:13,540
My reputation got
us invited here.

167
00:11:13,606 --> 00:11:16,376
I play by the rules, even if
my colleagues don't like it.

168
00:11:16,443 --> 00:11:18,44
It's called...
Ambition?

169
00:11:18,111 --> 00:11:19,112
Objectivity.

170
00:11:19,212 --> 00:11:20,447
What can I get you, ma'am?

171
00:11:20,580 --> 00:11:21,815
Just coffee.

172
00:11:26,419 --> 00:11:27,887
Don't push me, smart ass.

173
00:11:43,636 --> 00:11:45,338
You know you're
in the Bible belt

174
00:11:45,405 --> 00:11:47,540
when there are more
churches than Starbucks.

175
00:11:47,607 --> 00:11:50,10
When there are more
prisons than Starbucks.

176
00:12:36,22 --> 00:12:37,524
(DOOR BUZZES OPEN)

177
00:13:10,857 --> 00:13:12,692
He's ready for y'all now.

178
00:13:12,892 --> 00:13:14,27
GROVER: Yes, I am.

179
00:13:17,664 --> 00:13:22,2
I'm not gonna debate with you the
rights and wrongs of the situation.

180
00:13:22,736 --> 00:13:25,238
Our job is to run the
state prison system.

181
00:13:27,173 --> 00:13:30,610
This is not France. This is not
Germany. This is Texas.

182
00:13:30,677 --> 00:13:32,779
And we're gonna
follow Texas law.

183
00:13:33,646 --> 00:13:36,49
You're very welcome, ma'am.
Goodbye, now.

184
00:13:37,217 --> 00:13:38,585
Thank you, Margie.

185
00:13:39,185 --> 00:13:42,122
Correspondents Bloom and
Stevens, I presume?

186
00:13:42,188 --> 00:13:43,490
Yes, hello.

187
00:13:43,923 --> 00:13:45,425
Stemmons.

188
00:13:45,592 --> 00:13:47,93
Sorry.
Won't happen again.

189
00:13:47,327 --> 00:13:50,30
I'm Duke Grover, TDCJ,
Community Relations.

190
00:13:50,96 --> 00:13:52,232
He's usually real
good with names.

191
00:13:52,332 --> 00:13:54,901
And these days I
always like to ask

192
00:13:55,1 --> 00:13:57,370
do you prefer Miss,
Mrs., or Ms.?

193
00:13:57,937 --> 00:13:59,72
Bitsey.

194
00:13:59,205 --> 00:14:00,240
Bitsey it is.

195
00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:01,641
Margie, I'm stealing
your guests.

196
00:14:01,741 --> 00:14:03,43
Okey-dokey.

197
00:14:03,443 --> 00:14:05,445
You ever been in a prison?
Yes.

198
00:14:05,545 --> 00:14:07,13
On death row?
No.

199
00:14:07,380 --> 00:14:08,915
ID's again, please.

200
00:14:09,15 --> 00:14:13,86
All executions in the state of Texas
occur at the Huntsville unit.

201
00:14:13,186 --> 00:14:15,689
But death row is here
for the time being.

202
00:14:15,755 --> 00:14:19,426
This is home to all 442
offenders prior to their date.

203
00:14:19,793 --> 00:14:22,28
Average stay on
the row is nine years.

204
00:14:22,95 --> 00:14:24,898
Some get commuted, but
most get put to death.

205
00:14:26,66 --> 00:14:29,169
It'll put you off your supper,
but then, it's supposed to.

206
00:14:29,869 --> 00:14:31,438
GROVER: New York
guests for Mr. Gale.

207
00:14:31,571 --> 00:14:33,173
Can I get your bags?

208
00:14:33,239 --> 00:14:37,110
We have three concerns here,
safety, safety, and safety.

209
00:14:37,210 --> 00:14:39,279
The visitation area
is entirely secure.

210
00:14:39,379 --> 00:14:41,548
We just ask that you
don't touch the glass.

211
00:14:41,614 --> 00:14:43,383
Windex gets expensive.

212
00:14:43,917 --> 00:14:46,386
You're not carrying a
weapon, are you, Bitsey?

213
00:14:46,453 --> 00:14:48,54
(LOW AND INDISTINCT CATCALLS)

214
00:14:49,589 --> 00:14:50,724
Sorry. No.

215
00:14:50,990 --> 00:14:52,58
Mr. Stemmons, you packing?

216
00:14:52,92 --> 00:14:53,93
No, sir.

217
00:14:53,159 --> 00:14:54,127
GROVER: Cell phone?

218
00:14:54,227 --> 00:14:55,261
ZACK: They're not working.

219
00:14:55,295 --> 00:14:57,597
Then you won't mind
leaving them here.

220
00:14:57,664 --> 00:15:01,167
We also have rules against the
carrying of large sums of cash

221
00:15:01,267 --> 00:15:03,436
and the wearing
of open-toed shoes.

222
00:15:04,671 --> 00:15:07,774
Those will do just fine. You
want to step on through now?

223
00:15:08,274 --> 00:15:09,476
There you go.

224
00:15:09,843 --> 00:15:10,977
GUARD: Thank you, ma'am.

225
00:15:11,111 --> 00:15:12,212
GROVER: That's right.

226
00:15:13,747 --> 00:15:14,814
Open-toed shoes?

227
00:15:14,948 --> 00:15:16,49
Drives them crazy.

228
00:15:16,349 --> 00:15:19,119
GROVER: Your turn, Mr. Stemmons.
Right on through there.

229
00:15:19,352 --> 00:15:20,353
Good.

230
00:15:21,254 --> 00:15:24,257
Should anything unpleasant
occur in the visitation area,

231
00:15:24,324 --> 00:15:25,959
we ask you to stay put.

232
00:15:26,26 --> 00:15:29,262
Please follow the instructions of
our fine correctional officers

233
00:15:29,329 --> 00:15:31,498
should they see fit
to give you any.

234
00:15:32,332 --> 00:15:35,1
Anything you say
can be overheard.

235
00:15:35,101 --> 00:15:39,339
Any discussion of criminal activity
on your part is admissible.

236
00:15:39,439 --> 00:15:42,242
You're not planning on
a jailbreak, are you?

237
00:15:42,609 --> 00:15:45,178
The rain seems
to be holding off.

238
00:15:45,278 --> 00:15:48,915
You watch your step here. This
cement can get pretty slippery.

239
00:15:49,382 --> 00:15:51,251
This is our Japanese garden.

240
00:15:51,685 --> 00:15:54,587
We ask you not to
throw coins in the pond.

241
00:15:56,656 --> 00:15:58,591
Right this way.
Almost there.

242
00:16:00,393 --> 00:16:03,963
Here we are. This is our
visitation area right here.

243
00:16:05,131 --> 00:16:07,100
All yours, Mr. Belyeu.

244
00:16:07,167 --> 00:16:10,370
That's it for me. You
folks have a safe visit.

245
00:16:10,804 --> 00:16:12,472
Thank you.
Bye now.

246
00:16:12,539 --> 00:16:14,107
Ms. Bloom?
BITSEY: Yes.

247
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,743
Come right on in here and
make yourself comfortable.

248
00:16:16,843 --> 00:16:19,145
Did that PR man
validate your parking?

249
00:16:19,212 --> 00:16:21,348
He said the gift
shop would do it.

250
00:16:21,748 --> 00:16:23,316
She's a smart one.

251
00:16:23,383 --> 00:16:25,618
Braxton Belyeu,
Mr. Gale's attorney.

252
00:16:25,685 --> 00:16:26,853
This is Zack Stemmons.

253
00:16:26,986 --> 00:16:28,154
My good pleasure.

254
00:16:28,488 --> 00:16:31,291
And right over here,
we have the man of the hour.

255
00:16:41,1 --> 00:16:42,68
Hello.

256
00:16:42,669 --> 00:16:43,770
Hello.
Hi.

257
00:16:44,170 --> 00:16:46,973
GUARD (OVER P.A.): Sit down, Gale.
Prisoner will not stand.

258
00:16:47,40 --> 00:16:49,242
Why can't they
turn that thing down?

259
00:16:49,943 --> 00:16:51,878
My lawyer respectfully requests

260
00:16:51,945 --> 00:16:54,814
that you adjust the volume
on the speaker system.

261
00:16:54,881 --> 00:16:57,751
GUARD (OVER P.A.):
Gale, sit down.

262
00:17:02,355 --> 00:17:04,591
They're practicing
being cruel and unusual.

263
00:17:06,526 --> 00:17:09,129
I'm sure you're
biting at the bit.

264
00:17:09,229 --> 00:17:11,64
It is our understanding
that you are

265
00:17:11,197 --> 00:17:12,999
to have three
two-hour sessions.

266
00:17:13,299 --> 00:17:15,568
Today, tomorrow, and Thursday.

267
00:17:15,635 --> 00:17:17,637
All at 3:00 p.m.

268
00:17:18,438 --> 00:17:20,740
I'm sorry we can't
afford you more time.

269
00:17:20,807 --> 00:17:24,444
But contrary to popular rumor,
we have not yet begun to fight.

270
00:17:25,145 --> 00:17:27,747
It is our understanding
that you will do this alone.

271
00:17:27,814 --> 00:17:29,916
The magazine would prefer that...
Alone.

272
00:17:29,983 --> 00:17:31,84
Understood.

273
00:17:31,151 --> 00:17:36,89
BELYEU: Also, you'll use no
recording equipment of any kind.

274
00:17:36,156 --> 00:17:37,891
BITSEY: Correct.
BELYEU: Excellent.

275
00:17:37,957 --> 00:17:41,61
I have a few papers for which
I need your Jo Anne Hancock.

276
00:17:41,127 --> 00:17:45,465
So if you'd stop by my Austin office
at your earliest convenience.

277
00:17:45,565 --> 00:17:47,167
Thursday morning, say?

278
00:17:47,434 --> 00:17:49,35
Expenses and so forth.

279
00:17:52,339 --> 00:17:55,41
Fine. Till Thursday, then.
Good luck.

280
00:17:55,408 --> 00:17:56,876
I'll stop by later.

281
00:17:59,446 --> 00:18:02,982
What say you and me partake
of a death-defying cigarette

282
00:18:03,83 --> 00:18:04,951
in the visitors' parking lot?

283
00:18:05,18 --> 00:18:06,119
Bye-bye, y'all.

284
00:18:14,694 --> 00:18:15,695
So...

285
00:18:16,463 --> 00:18:18,331
Please pull up a seat.

286
00:18:25,38 --> 00:18:26,139
He's quite a character.

287
00:18:26,206 --> 00:18:27,207
Yes.

288
00:18:27,307 --> 00:18:29,976
He's about the only outside
contact I have now.

289
00:18:30,43 --> 00:18:31,444
And a good friend.

290
00:18:32,779 --> 00:18:34,481
Where's your ex-wife?

291
00:18:34,547 --> 00:18:37,784
I don't want you to ask me
questions about her or my son.

292
00:18:38,551 --> 00:18:40,153
What I offer you is one thing.

293
00:18:40,220 --> 00:18:42,822
Questions about them
are not part of our deal.

294
00:18:42,889 --> 00:18:43,890
Okay.

295
00:18:44,791 --> 00:18:47,660
Just say, "Off the record,"
and I'll take it to my grave.

296
00:18:47,727 --> 00:18:49,295
You can trust me on that.

297
00:18:50,463 --> 00:18:52,665
Does this count as
recording equipment?

298
00:18:56,403 --> 00:18:57,604
How do we start?

299
00:18:57,704 --> 00:18:58,872
We start with

300
00:19:00,306 --> 00:19:02,475
you telling me
what I'm doing here.

301
00:19:04,77 --> 00:19:06,546
No one who looks through
that glass sees a person.

302
00:19:06,646 --> 00:19:08,14
They see a crime.

303
00:19:08,982 --> 00:19:12,185
I'm not David Gale.
I'm a murderer and a rapist.

Four days shy of his execution.

305
00:19:16,523 --> 00:19:18,525
You're here because I
want to be remembered

306
00:19:18,591 --> 00:19:21,828
as much for howl led my life
and the decisions that I made

307
00:19:21,895 --> 00:19:23,963
as for how my life ended.

308
00:19:25,98 --> 00:19:26,332
Why me?

309
00:19:26,433 --> 00:19:27,634
Why not?

310
00:19:27,701 --> 00:19:30,303
You've spent some time behind
bars yourself recently.

311
00:19:30,370 --> 00:19:31,838
I certainly have.

312
00:19:31,905 --> 00:19:34,274
Because you do take
things to your grave.

313
00:19:34,941 --> 00:19:38,712
Protecting sources, even kiddie
porn scum, is the magazine policy

314
00:19:38,778 --> 00:19:40,480
and mine.
I know.

315
00:19:41,448 --> 00:19:43,83
That's your reputation.

316
00:19:45,285 --> 00:19:47,987
I have a hard story for
you to tell, Miss Bloom.

317
00:19:49,189 --> 00:19:50,924
It's not going to be easy.

318
00:19:53,593 --> 00:19:54,861

I became Head of Philosophy

00:20:00,133 --> 00:20:01,868
at the University of Austin.

321
00:20:08,308 --> 00:20:10,43
DAVID: Come on, think.

322
00:20:10,110 --> 00:20:12,612
I want you to reach
back into those minds.

323
00:20:12,712 --> 00:20:14,47
And tell me, tell us all,

324
00:20:14,814 --> 00:20:17,851
what is it that
you fantasize about?

325
00:20:18,818 --> 00:20:20,20
World peace?

326
00:20:20,754 --> 00:20:21,855
Thought so.

Do you fantasize about
winning a Pulitzer Prize?

330
00:20:31,331 --> 00:20:33,767
Or a Nobel Peace Prize?

331
00:20:33,833 --> 00:20:35,802

simmering with noble passion

335

and willing to sleep
on the wet spot?

What was that?

I'll take two!

Kimberley will take two.

339
00:20:53,486 --> 00:20:55,221
You get Lacan's point.

340
00:20:55,855 --> 00:20:58,958
Fantasies have
to be unrealistic.

341
00:20:59,25 --> 00:21:02,295
Because the moment, the second
that you get what you seek,

342
00:21:02,362 --> 00:21:05,98
you don't,
you can't want it anymore.

343
00:21:05,165 --> 00:21:07,634
In order to continue to exist,

344
00:21:07,701 --> 00:21:11,771
desire must have its objects
perpetually absent.

345
00:21:11,838 --> 00:21:15,709
It's not the "it" that you want,
it's the fantasy of "it."

346
00:21:16,843 --> 00:21:20,413
Desire supports
crazy fantasies.

about future happiness.

It came today.

DAVID: Or why we say, "The hunt
is sweeter than the kill."

353
00:21:39,532 --> 00:21:41,368
Or, "Be careful
what you wish for."

354
00:21:41,468 --> 00:21:43,336
Not because you'll get it,

355
00:21:43,403 --> 00:21:46,406
because you're doomed
not to want it once you do.

356
00:21:47,7 --> 00:21:49,9
So the lesson of Lacan is

357
00:21:49,75 --> 00:21:51,678
living by your wants
will never make you happy.

What it means to be fully human

359
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,516
is to strive to live
by ideas and ideals.

360
00:21:56,583 --> 00:21:58,685
Not to measure your life

361
00:21:58,752 --> 00:22:01,955
by what you've attained
in terms of your desires

362
00:22:02,756 --> 00:22:07,293
but those moments of integrity,
compassion, rationality,

363
00:22:08,61 --> 00:22:09,863
even self-sacrifice.

364
00:22:09,929 --> 00:22:11,398
Because in the end,

365
00:22:11,498 --> 00:22:15,235
the only way we can measure the
significance of our own lives

366
00:22:15,335 --> 00:22:17,804
is by valuing
the lives of others.

They're too busy pretending to
listen to hear what I'm saying.

528
00:31:28,888 --> 00:31:30,357
I can listen and
actively listen

529
00:31:30,490 --> 00:31:31,925
at the same time.
I'm good at it.

530
00:31:32,25 --> 00:31:33,693
Did you bring the Amnesty stats?
Yes.

531
00:31:33,793 --> 00:31:35,829
No. I left them at home.

532
00:31:39,65 --> 00:31:40,367
I have a copy.

533
00:31:46,39 --> 00:31:47,240
You want to tell me what's up?

534
00:31:47,307 --> 00:31:48,408
Nothing.

535
00:31:49,376 --> 00:31:50,510
Everything.

536
00:31:54,147 --> 00:31:57,183
Something profoundly stupid
happened last night.

537
00:31:57,250 --> 00:31:58,885
I hope you used a condom.

538
00:32:03,23 --> 00:32:04,657
Jesus Christ, David.

539
00:32:07,260 --> 00:32:08,762
Was she one of yours?

540
00:32:10,497 --> 00:32:11,798
It was Berlin.

541
00:32:12,866 --> 00:32:13,900
Great.

542
00:32:16,569 --> 00:32:17,804
That's great.

543
00:32:18,271 --> 00:32:19,539
I can hear the grapevine,

544
00:32:19,606 --> 00:32:21,174
"They suspended
her so Gale could

545
00:32:21,274 --> 00:32:22,842
"dick her with
a clear conscience.

546
00:32:22,909 --> 00:32:24,711
"A power differential
equals coercion."

547
00:32:24,778 --> 00:32:26,579
That is great.
You're so weak.

548
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,682
You're not my wife,
Constance. Thank God.

549
00:32:28,748 --> 00:32:31,418
Don't worry, it's not a position
I aspire to. So fuck you!

550
00:32:31,518 --> 00:32:33,687
I didn't mean it that way.
Are you okay?

551
00:32:35,221 --> 00:32:37,223
Really?
Yes! Let's go.

552
00:32:39,526 --> 00:32:42,562
There are 17,000 murders a
year in the United States.

553
00:32:42,629 --> 00:32:45,265
Ten states that have
abolished the death penalty

554
00:32:45,365 --> 00:32:47,867
have a murder rate lower
than the national average.

555
00:32:47,934 --> 00:32:50,603
If he starts with the religious
stuff, just say that

556
00:32:50,704 --> 00:32:54,674
nearly every denomination in the U.S.
opposes the death penalty.

557
00:32:54,974 --> 00:32:56,376
Are you listening?
Yes.

558
00:33:09,656 --> 00:33:11,91
All right, 10 seconds.

559
00:33:12,158 --> 00:33:13,360
Count them in, Mac.

560
00:33:17,564 --> 00:33:19,666
TV DIRECTOR: Five, four...

561
00:33:22,235 --> 00:33:23,770
TV HOST: Welcome back to
Batter's Box.

562
00:33:23,837 --> 00:33:27,907
We continue our special four-part
program with Governor Hardin.

563
00:33:27,974 --> 00:33:30,710
And arguing capital
punishment with him

564
00:33:30,777 --> 00:33:34,80
is deathwatch regional
co-director, Professor David Gale.

565
00:33:34,147 --> 00:33:35,648
You are up, Governor.

566
00:33:35,749 --> 00:33:38,952
I always say the same thing and
I'm gonna keep on saying it.

567
00:33:39,19 --> 00:33:42,455
I hate killing, and my
administration will kill to stop it.

568
00:33:43,356 --> 00:33:44,357
How about it?

569
00:33:44,457 --> 00:33:47,694
Murderers are not deterred
by the thought of execution.

570
00:33:47,794 --> 00:33:50,930
You know it. Every single
study done on the subject,

571
00:33:50,997 --> 00:33:53,166
and there's been over 200,
you've read them,

572
00:33:53,266 --> 00:33:55,268
has reached
the same conclusion.

573
00:33:55,335 --> 00:33:57,137
Maybe you should
read your Bible.

574
00:33:57,203 --> 00:34:00,640
Deuteronomy: 19:21. "An eye for
an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

575
00:34:01,708 --> 00:34:03,476
What did Gandhi say about that?

576
00:34:03,543 --> 00:34:07,113
"The old law of an eye for
an eye leaves us all blind."

577
00:34:08,181 --> 00:34:11,151
I'm sorry, and with respect,
that's fuzzy liberal thinking.

578
00:34:11,217 --> 00:34:12,819
DAVID: You believe that?
Of course.

579
00:34:12,886 --> 00:34:14,754
Interesting, 'cause you said it

580
00:34:14,888 --> 00:34:16,756
in a speech in
your first campaign.

581
00:34:17,490 --> 00:34:19,726
(LAUGHING) He got you there, Governor.
How about it?

582
00:34:19,826 --> 00:34:21,528
Yes, he did.

583
00:34:21,728 --> 00:34:24,330
"If you're not a Liberal at
30, you've got no heart.

584
00:34:24,397 --> 00:34:26,900
"If you're still a Liberal
at 40, you've got no brain."

585
00:34:27,0 --> 00:34:28,34
That's Winston Churchill.

586
00:34:28,168 --> 00:34:29,202
Touché.

587
00:34:29,302 --> 00:34:31,371
What you're
essentially saying is,

588
00:34:31,504 --> 00:34:33,506
and this is to
choose another quote,

589
00:34:33,573 --> 00:34:37,711
"A healthy society must stop at
nothing to cleanse itself of evil."

590
00:34:41,147 --> 00:34:43,516
Yes, I'd have to agree.

591
00:34:43,917 --> 00:34:46,653
Did I say that, too?
No, sir. That was Hitler.

592
00:34:50,757 --> 00:34:53,893
Governor, can't we all just admit
the capital punishment system

593
00:34:53,993 --> 00:34:55,562
in this country is not working?

594
00:34:55,662 --> 00:34:57,397
We are condemning
people to death

595
00:34:57,530 --> 00:34:59,265
based on phony expert testimony

596
00:34:59,366 --> 00:35:02,168
on junk science,
on jailhouse snitches.

597
00:35:02,235 --> 00:35:06,473
Did you know Texas has the highest
per capita incarceration rate

598
00:35:06,539 --> 00:35:08,508
in the world, including in China?

599
00:35:08,575 --> 00:35:11,378
Forty-three people,
Governor, that you executed

600
00:35:11,444 --> 00:35:14,748
were represented by lawyers at one
time disbarred or sanctioned.

601
00:35:14,848 --> 00:35:17,384
There are two men on death
row right now, on this day,

602
00:35:17,450 --> 00:35:20,720
whose lawyers fell asleep
during their cross-examination.

603
00:35:20,787 --> 00:35:21,755
I'm not a lawyer.

604
00:35:21,855 --> 00:35:23,923
Texas Court of
Criminal Appeals ruled

605
00:35:24,24 --> 00:35:26,526
that it was not
a basis for a retrial.

606
00:35:26,593 --> 00:35:29,929
Governor, that's just a
flawed, insane, crazy system.

607
00:35:30,30 --> 00:35:32,599
And a flawed system
will kill innocent men!

608
00:35:32,699 --> 00:35:34,434
All right.
Let him answer.

609
00:35:35,201 --> 00:35:37,37
All right,
we'll play your game.

610
00:35:37,103 --> 00:35:38,104
Name one.

611
00:35:38,438 --> 00:35:40,40
Name one innocent
man that Texas

612
00:35:40,140 --> 00:35:41,741
has put to death
during my tenure.

613
00:35:41,808 --> 00:35:44,177
Of the 100 or so executions...

614
00:35:44,244 --> 00:35:46,413
That's 131,
in case you've lost count.

615
00:35:46,479 --> 00:35:47,847
Let him finish.

616
00:35:47,947 --> 00:35:49,249
Fine. Whatever.

617
00:35:49,315 --> 00:35:52,185
Just give me a name.
I'm gonna write it down.

618
00:35:52,619 --> 00:35:55,121
A man that you can
prove was innocent,

619
00:35:56,990 --> 00:35:58,725
and I'll call a moratorium.

620
00:36:01,294 --> 00:36:02,295

623

Governor Hardin

624
00:36:09,936 --> 00:36:11,805

Your exact words were,

628
00:36:20,347 --> 00:36:22,849
"Tell me when my ego's getting
in the way of the work."

629
00:36:22,949 --> 00:36:24,617
Now I'm telling you.

630
00:36:24,751 --> 00:36:26,453
I didn't want to do this.

631
00:36:26,519 --> 00:36:28,221
You put up two
seconds of protest

632
00:36:28,355 --> 00:36:30,56
at the thought of
being on a TV debate.

633

What does that mean?

634
00:36:31,358 --> 00:36:32,492
Deathwatch suffers

635
00:36:32,592 --> 00:36:34,694
because you're so anxious
to finger authority

636
00:36:34,794 --> 00:36:38,264
to publicly prove David Gale is
smarter than the powers that be.

637

squeezing money from the donor list.

640
00:36:45,171 --> 00:36:46,306
The Governor went that way.

Ramirez. Austin Police.
This is Officer Hasermann.

642
00:36:49,709 --> 00:36:51,678
Is debating the
Governor a crime now?

643
00:36:51,778 --> 00:36:53,246
No, sir. Rape is.

646
00:37:06,159 --> 00:37:08,361
bruises, her clothes
were ripped.

647
00:37:08,461 --> 00:37:10,463
My skin was found
under her fingernails.

648
00:37:10,530 --> 00:37:12,332
It didn't look like
anything but rape.

649
00:37:12,399 --> 00:37:14,768
Then she drops charges
and leaves town,

650
00:37:14,834 --> 00:37:16,336
making it look
like I was guilty,

651
00:37:16,403 --> 00:37:18,905
and she was too
traumatized to face trial.

652
00:37:19,5 --> 00:37:22,842
My wife read all this sitting in
the airport wondering where I was.

653
00:37:22,909 --> 00:37:24,511
Why I wasn't there
to pick her up.

654
00:37:24,577 --> 00:37:27,80
Took me almost two
weeks to get bailed out.

655
00:37:27,747 --> 00:37:31,251
And the grad student, Berlin?
Why do you think she did it?

656
00:37:32,252 --> 00:37:34,54
To poke her
finger at authority.

657
00:37:34,154 --> 00:37:36,756
Show the powers that be
how much smarter she was.

658
00:37:36,856 --> 00:37:39,225
Grad student's revenge.
I don't really know.

659
00:37:39,359 --> 00:37:41,327
Know where I can find her?
No.

660
00:37:41,394 --> 00:37:44,764
First year I was in here I got
a postcard from San Francisco.

661
00:37:45,165 --> 00:37:48,268
It was signed, "From the student
who would do anything."

662
00:37:49,202 --> 00:37:50,937
Did she say anything else?

663
00:37:51,671 --> 00:37:53,540
"I'm sorrier
than you can know."

664
00:37:53,873 --> 00:37:54,974

Can you imagine his wife letting
him stew in jail for two weeks?

00:38:06,119 --> 00:38:07,854
Who can blame her?

668
00:38:07,921 --> 00:38:10,657
Get an address for the Berlin
girl from the university.

669
00:38:10,724 --> 00:38:12,592
Still don't think
he's telling the truth?

670
00:38:12,692 --> 00:38:14,994
On the Berlin rap?
On the whole rap.

671

Who knows? Anyway, there is
no truth, only perspectives.

672
00:38:18,465 --> 00:38:20,266
If you say there's no truth,

673
00:38:20,367 --> 00:38:22,102
you're claiming it's
true there's no truth.

674
00:38:22,202 --> 00:38:23,803
It's a logical contradiction.

is as good as a conviction.

It sticks like shit.

678
00:38:30,643 --> 00:38:32,12
That's an appetizing metaphor.

679
00:38:32,78 --> 00:38:33,380
Technically a simile.

680
00:38:33,446 --> 00:38:35,215
I think he's telling the truth.

681

This you know from sitting
in the prison lobby?

682

It's just my perspective.

courts found him guilty.

684
00:38:41,654 --> 00:38:44,90

perspective for me.

00:40:12,746 --> 00:40:15,849
Got to sign the book. It doesn't
have to be your real name.

701
00:40:15,915 --> 00:40:18,785
It says you're here to do
research on violent crime.

702
00:40:18,852 --> 00:40:21,154
State requires it
for nonprofit shit.

703
00:40:22,989 --> 00:40:25,492
Take a re-enactment
photo packet.

704
00:40:25,558 --> 00:40:27,527
If you guys could share
one, it would be cool.

705
00:40:27,594 --> 00:40:30,63
The fuckers that do my
prints jerk my chain.

706
00:40:30,163 --> 00:40:32,832
That's me.
My boyfriend took it.

707
00:40:32,899 --> 00:40:34,667
We also got a video.

708
00:40:34,734 --> 00:40:37,704
It's $50 'cause
you can see my tits.

709
00:40:37,771 --> 00:40:39,706
There's a version
without tits. It's $35.

710
00:40:40,774 --> 00:40:42,542
Do many people take the tour?

711
00:40:42,676 --> 00:40:44,377
Not so much anymore.

712
00:40:44,444 --> 00:40:46,146
We thought it
would be a busy week

713
00:40:46,279 --> 00:40:47,981
with Gale getting
the prune juice.

714
00:40:48,48 --> 00:40:50,216
So you don't mind living here?

715
00:40:50,283 --> 00:40:53,219
It's better than living
with my dickwad parents.

716
00:40:53,286 --> 00:40:54,788
It starts over here.

717
00:40:55,622 --> 00:40:57,557
She let him
crash here sometimes.

718
00:40:57,624 --> 00:40:59,526
He was constantly wasted.

719
00:40:59,592 --> 00:41:01,227
Exhibit one.

720
00:41:01,294 --> 00:41:03,29
He drank Scotch religiously.

721
00:41:04,464 --> 00:41:06,332
The rest is in the kitchen.

722
00:41:08,134 --> 00:41:09,569
NICO: Here's number two.

723
00:41:09,969 --> 00:41:11,671
This is where the tripod was.

724
00:41:11,738 --> 00:41:14,674
My boyfriend borrowed the one
we usually show to folks.

725
00:41:14,741 --> 00:41:18,211
They never found a camera, or
photos, a video or anything.

726
00:41:18,645 --> 00:41:20,447
Gale must have buried them.

727
00:41:21,147 --> 00:41:24,918
These serial killer dudes take
photos to whack off to later.

728
00:41:25,585 --> 00:41:28,321
He's not exactly
a serial killer.

729
00:41:29,422 --> 00:41:30,457
Whatever.

730
00:41:31,91 --> 00:41:33,626
She was totally naked,
right here.

731
00:41:33,727 --> 00:41:36,29
The meter man saw
her through the door.

732
00:41:36,830 --> 00:41:39,232
Gale handcuffed her,
taped her mouth,

733
00:41:39,299 --> 00:41:41,868
then taped a bag over her
head so she couldn't breathe.

734
00:41:41,935 --> 00:41:44,871
He used housewife gloves
so he wouldn't leave prints.

735
00:41:44,938 --> 00:41:47,607
They found sticky stuff
from the tape on them.

736
00:41:47,674 --> 00:41:50,677
We ask folks not to
touch the exhibit.

737
00:41:51,845 --> 00:41:55,115
The totally sick part is where they
found the key to the handcuffs.

738
00:41:57,17 --> 00:41:57,984
We know.

739
00:41:58,84 --> 00:41:59,819
Wait. What?
Where was it?

740
00:42:00,153 --> 00:42:02,122
It was in her stomach, dude.

741
00:42:02,188 --> 00:42:04,824
Gale made her swallow it
before he bagged her.

742
00:42:05,525 --> 00:42:07,727
That's pretty
much the highlights.

743
00:42:08,928 --> 00:42:10,230
Got questions?

744
00:42:18,438 --> 00:42:20,740
I can still smell
he cigarette smoke.

745
00:42:21,508 --> 00:42:23,143
It's the barbecue!

746
00:42:25,779 --> 00:42:27,147
Can you imagine?

747
00:42:28,48 --> 00:42:29,949
That key was in her stomach.

748
00:42:30,16 --> 00:42:31,985
That's so fucking cold, man.

749
00:42:35,822 --> 00:42:36,956
BITSEY: Zack?
ZACK: What?

750
00:42:38,558 --> 00:42:41,27
Isn't that the cowboy
from the rest area?

751
00:42:43,797 --> 00:42:45,98
The same truck.

752
00:42:45,365 --> 00:42:46,733
Weird coincidence?

753
00:42:47,667 --> 00:42:51,271
Coincidences are always weird.
That's why they're coincidences.

754
00:42:56,743 --> 00:42:58,44
DAVID: Off the record.

755
00:42:59,846 --> 00:43:01,281
Okay. We're off.

756
00:43:03,483 --> 00:43:06,953
Constance was murdered by what's
known as the Securitat Method.

757
00:43:07,587 --> 00:43:10,23
You're handcuffed,
forced to swallow the key,

758
00:43:10,90 --> 00:43:12,659
your mouth is taped, a bag
is sealed around your head,

759
00:43:12,726 --> 00:43:14,227
and you're left to suffocate.

760
00:43:14,327 --> 00:43:16,29
The Securitat
did it to Romanians

761
00:43:16,96 --> 00:43:17,831
when they wouldn't
inform or confess.

762
00:43:17,897 --> 00:43:21,0
Sometimes the bag was ripped off
to give you a second chance.

763
00:43:21,67 --> 00:43:22,635
Otherwise, you died

764
00:43:22,702 --> 00:43:24,637
knowing that the
key to your freedom

765
00:43:24,771 --> 00:43:26,740
was inside of you
the entire time.

766
00:43:27,173 --> 00:43:29,275
It's a cheap but
effective method.

767
00:43:29,776 --> 00:43:31,11
The problem is

768
00:43:34,948 --> 00:43:37,650
I once mentioned it in
an article that I wrote.

769
00:43:40,220 --> 00:43:42,22
Prosecution never knew that.

770
00:43:43,957 --> 00:43:45,325
Someone's framing you?

771
00:43:45,458 --> 00:43:46,760
It's more than that.

772
00:43:48,595 --> 00:43:50,63
There was a tripod.

773
00:43:50,764 --> 00:43:51,765
Right.

774
00:43:52,899 --> 00:43:54,267
Facing her body.

775
00:43:54,701 --> 00:43:56,736
Are we back on the record?
Yes.

776
00:43:57,370 --> 00:44:00,73
The tripod had no
fingerprints on it.

777
00:44:00,140 --> 00:44:03,443
That means somebody brought
it there, set it up,

778
00:44:03,543 --> 00:44:05,779
wiped it clean, and left it.

779
00:44:06,713 --> 00:44:07,947
Why?

780
00:44:08,48 --> 00:44:11,451
It's as if they wanted me to
know that somewhere out there

781
00:44:11,551 --> 00:44:14,521
is a record of exactly what
happened that afternoon.

782
00:44:14,587 --> 00:44:16,289
As if they wanted me to die

783
00:44:16,389 --> 00:44:19,693
knowing that the key to my
freedom is out there somewhere.

784
00:44:22,429 --> 00:44:24,631
Maybe you're being paranoid.

785
00:44:24,731 --> 00:44:28,101
I used to be the state's leading
death penalty abolitionist.

786
00:44:28,168 --> 00:44:31,604
Now I'm on death row! Doesn't
that strike you as a little odd?

787
00:44:33,506 --> 00:44:35,241
Any idea who "they" are?

788
00:44:36,643 --> 00:44:39,379
No, but I've got
someone working on that.

789
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,116
Someone I'm relying on
to prove my innocence.

790
00:44:43,183 --> 00:44:44,918
Belyeu has hired a detective?

791
00:44:46,286 --> 00:44:47,520
A journalist.

792
00:44:48,688 --> 00:44:50,190
She has to help me.

793
00:44:54,594 --> 00:44:55,895
You know I'm innocent.

794
00:44:55,995 --> 00:44:56,996
No.

795
00:45:00,867 --> 00:45:01,868
No, I don't.

796
00:45:11,945 --> 00:45:13,980
Wear me like a fur, Daddy.

797
00:45:14,47 --> 00:45:16,116
Okay, who's your hero?

798
00:45:16,983 --> 00:45:18,585
All right,
you go get Cloud Dog.

799
00:45:18,685 --> 00:45:20,286
Hey, Cloud Dog!

800
00:45:22,722 --> 00:45:24,357
Cali me when you land.

801
00:45:26,192 --> 00:45:28,695
Has any couple ever really
survived a trial separation?

802
00:45:28,795 --> 00:45:31,498
Isn't it contrary to the idea
of trying to work things out?

803
00:45:31,564 --> 00:45:32,766
SHARON: Don't.

804
00:45:34,67 --> 00:45:35,702
Get in, sweetie.

805
00:45:38,405 --> 00:45:39,839
See you later, alligator.

806
00:45:39,973 --> 00:45:41,374
After a while, crocodile.

807
00:45:41,474 --> 00:45:43,176
Take it easy,
Japa-nee-zee.

808
00:45:43,309 --> 00:45:45,45
Okey-dokey,
artichokey.

809
00:45:46,12 --> 00:45:47,47
SHARON: Scoot.

810
00:45:50,50 --> 00:45:51,217
Listen.

811
00:45:51,351 --> 00:45:52,519
I sent you an e-mail.

812
00:45:54,521 --> 00:45:55,755
An e-mail?

813
00:45:56,222 --> 00:45:57,457
Just read it.

814
00:46:08,835 --> 00:46:10,203
SHARON: Come on, sweetie.

815
00:46:48,241 --> 00:46:49,476
Just read it.

816
00:47:01,988 --> 00:47:04,491
CONSTANCE: You could at
least hide the bottle.

817
00:47:17,737 --> 00:47:18,738
Well?

818
00:47:20,306 --> 00:47:22,409
Officially,
you're on sabbatical.

819
00:47:24,177 --> 00:47:26,613
Unofficially, they
want you out of here.

820
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,148
It was four to two.

821
00:47:30,83 --> 00:47:31,484
How did Ross vote?

822
00:47:33,286 --> 00:47:34,821
I'm not supposed to...

823
00:47:37,323 --> 00:47:38,491
Against you.

824
00:47:49,169 --> 00:47:50,236
And you?

825
00:47:51,838 --> 00:47:52,839
For you.

826
00:47:55,342 --> 00:47:57,344
And against my politics.

827
00:48:34,848 --> 00:48:36,149
Please.

828
00:48:36,216 --> 00:48:38,785
Madam, atención.

829
00:48:39,853 --> 00:48:42,555
My name is David Gale.

830
00:48:42,655 --> 00:48:44,657
I have phoned before, yes?

831
00:48:46,593 --> 00:48:47,727
Can...

832
00:48:55,502 --> 00:48:57,70
What? No, never mind.

833
00:48:57,170 --> 00:49:00,6
Can you please get Sharon Gale?

834
00:49:00,774 --> 00:49:02,509
Yes, Miss Gale!

835
00:49:11,951 --> 00:49:12,952
Hello?

836
00:49:16,423 --> 00:49:20,60
(CHILDREN CHATTERING AND LAUGHING)

837
00:49:31,604 --> 00:49:34,741
I wanted to hear your
feedback on the idea.

838
00:49:35,775 --> 00:49:37,544
Look, Professor Gale,

839
00:49:37,610 --> 00:49:39,846
I could sit here
like others have,

840
00:49:39,946 --> 00:49:42,182
and plead
departmental cutbacks,

841
00:49:42,615 --> 00:49:45,852
claim you need more publications,
I need a minority.

842
00:49:46,319 --> 00:49:47,554
Whatever.

843
00:49:47,620 --> 00:49:49,422
All bull-geschichte.

844
00:49:50,724 --> 00:49:52,525
Your record's brilliant.

845
00:49:52,592 --> 00:49:54,561
You're an original
voice, worth,

846
00:49:54,661 --> 00:49:56,596
in today's
scarcity-defines-value,

847
00:49:56,663 --> 00:49:59,966
capitalist system under which
we toil, your weight in gold.

848
00:50:01,134 --> 00:50:04,4
Hell, it's not even
your alcohol problem.

849
00:50:04,504 --> 00:50:08,508
It would be nice to have a faculty
member whose crutch wasn't Prozac.

850
00:50:09,309 --> 00:50:12,612
But to speak plain,
if I were to hire you,

851
00:50:12,679 --> 00:50:15,115
in the eyes of the
regents, the alumni,

852
00:50:15,181 --> 00:50:18,118
and every freshman
with an ear for gossip,

853
00:50:18,184 --> 00:50:20,120
I'd be hiring a rapist.

854
00:50:20,487 --> 00:50:22,455
Those charges were dropped.

855
00:50:22,522 --> 00:50:24,924
People would say
you had a good lawyer.

856
00:50:25,859 --> 00:50:27,227
I was innocent.

857
00:50:28,94 --> 00:50:29,562
You don't get it, do you?

858
00:50:29,629 --> 00:50:32,232
You're not politically correct.

859
00:50:32,766 --> 00:50:34,267
Welcome to the club.

860
00:50:37,671 --> 00:50:40,173
DAVID: Socrates is
sentenced to death.

861
00:50:42,375 --> 00:50:45,311
I bet you didn't know that.
He was sentenced to death.

862
00:50:45,378 --> 00:50:49,349
But Athenian law
let the condemned

863
00:50:49,449 --> 00:50:51,985
come up with their own
alternate punishment.

864
00:50:52,552 --> 00:50:54,54
Isn't that a great idea?

865
00:50:54,154 --> 00:50:56,990
Where are the Athenians
when you really need them?

866
00:50:58,658 --> 00:51:00,694
So anyway, Socrates...

867
00:51:00,794 --> 00:51:02,762
And he was ugly.
Did I mention that?

868
00:51:02,829 --> 00:51:05,932
Did I mention that
Socrates was ugly?

869
00:51:05,999 --> 00:51:08,234
Socrates was ugly,
Plato was fat,

870
00:51:08,368 --> 00:51:10,603
and Aristotle was
a prissy dresser.

871
00:51:12,205 --> 00:51:15,809
So anyway, Socrates comes
up with this idea.

872
00:51:15,875 --> 00:51:20,113
He says, "What if I pay
a fine instead of death?"

873
00:51:20,180 --> 00:51:21,881
He suggests a fine.

874
00:51:21,981 --> 00:51:24,50
All he has to do
in order to live is

875
00:51:24,184 --> 00:51:26,186
to come up with
an appropriately

876
00:51:26,252 --> 00:51:27,854
punitive figure.

877
00:51:30,56 --> 00:51:33,26
Guess what he
suggested? $30!

878
00:51:37,163 --> 00:51:39,966
Does that make
any sense? $30.

879
00:51:40,33 --> 00:51:42,469
That's 30 mina. That was the
currency of the day, a mina.

880
00:51:42,535 --> 00:51:44,337
Well, minae.

881
00:51:44,404 --> 00:51:45,905
That's plural. Minae.

882
00:51:47,207 --> 00:51:48,241
$30!

883
00:51:49,175 --> 00:51:50,877
Thirty pieces of silver.

884
00:51:51,678 --> 00:51:55,648
And the judges are so pissed that
more of them voted to kill him

885
00:51:55,715 --> 00:51:57,584
than had voted him
guilty in the first place.

886
00:51:57,684 --> 00:51:59,552
That doesn't make any sense.

887
00:52:00,553 --> 00:52:02,222
Thirty pieces of silver.

888
00:52:02,956 --> 00:52:04,524
Just like the Judas guy.

889
00:52:04,591 --> 00:52:06,693
The Jesus-kisser

890
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:08,695
who was also a prissy dresser.

That's if there even
is a custody hearing.

What does that mean?

899
00:53:05,785 --> 00:53:08,321
If your wife convinces
a Spanish court

900
00:53:08,421 --> 00:53:11,825
that you're a danger to the child,
you'll never see him again.

901
00:53:12,992 --> 00:53:15,829
He just has to come home.
He's got to come back.

902
00:53:15,929 --> 00:53:18,231
Pete, can we have
another round here?

903
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:21,434
BELYEU: I'm fine.

904
00:53:26,306 --> 00:53:27,807
I'll just have to
go get him then.

905
00:53:27,874 --> 00:53:31,311
Europe's not Mexico, David. They've
got real borders over there.

906

You might be able to get in, but
getting out with a 6-year-old?

907
00:53:36,16 --> 00:53:39,85
That's a whole different
kettle of crawdads.

908
00:53:39,152 --> 00:53:40,954
You want to see Jamie again?

909
00:53:41,21 --> 00:53:42,255
Then you get
your life together.

910
00:53:42,355 --> 00:53:43,590

and I am an alcoholic.

00:54:20,860 --> 00:54:23,163
So, Mr. Gale,

917
00:54:24,564 --> 00:54:27,300
tell me three
personal qualities

918
00:54:27,367 --> 00:54:29,202
that you feel you have

919
00:54:29,269 --> 00:54:31,905
that would make you a
successful Radio Shed manager.

920
00:54:34,7 --> 00:54:35,41
Three.

921
00:54:38,878 --> 00:54:39,879
Okay.

I'm sorry. Welcome back.

925
00:55:29,396 --> 00:55:30,397
Thanks.

926
00:55:31,164 --> 00:55:33,33
You look good.
I feel good.

927
00:55:34,834 --> 00:55:37,137
There's something
that you've got to see.

928
00:55:37,671 --> 00:55:39,572
Betty Sue Johnson
has been rescheduled.

929
00:55:39,639 --> 00:55:41,474
Her execution date
is set for the eighth.

930
00:55:41,574 --> 00:55:43,610
I have a call with
Washington tonight.

931
00:55:43,677 --> 00:55:46,46
If the national director
commits to emergency funds...

932
00:55:46,112 --> 00:55:48,281
She gets commuted and you
prove the system works.

933
00:55:48,348 --> 00:55:50,617
But I'll save a life.

934
00:55:50,684 --> 00:55:52,786
Where did you get that bruise?

935
00:55:52,852 --> 00:55:55,155
Just doing chores.

getting rough with you?

DAVID: There he is.

938
00:56:02,996 --> 00:56:06,366
Dusty, does she ever invite you
over and not put you to work?

939
00:56:10,370 --> 00:56:12,572
All right, tell me her story.

940
00:56:12,639 --> 00:56:14,808
She was sentenced at 17.

941
00:56:14,874 --> 00:56:17,844
I really want to get behind this one.
She's so articulate.

942
00:56:17,944 --> 00:56:18,978
Who did she kill?

943
00:56:19,45 --> 00:56:20,814
She'll put a face
on the death penalty.

944
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,183
Constance, who did she kill?

945
00:56:24,17 --> 00:56:25,18
A cop.

946
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:26,853
You're crazy.

Not just your medium-range, thinks-
she's-Roosevelt's-bath robe,

but I mean stark-raving,

Seventeen.

950
00:56:36,463 --> 00:56:38,932
Four years before she could
legally drink a beer.

951
00:56:38,998 --> 00:56:40,967
But she killed a cop, Constance.

952
00:56:41,34 --> 00:56:43,36

Of course.

953
00:56:44,904 --> 00:56:46,306

Thank you.

there for you, John.

962
00:57:28,214 --> 00:57:30,216
Sinclair, new National Director.

963
00:57:33,286 --> 00:57:35,922
I'm sure we can get some
pulpit time, maybe some cable.

964
00:57:36,56 --> 00:57:38,24
DIRECTOR (ON SPEAKERPHONE):
Cable's good. Listen, I need to run.

965
00:57:38,91 --> 00:57:39,893
I agree the first press release

966
00:57:39,959 --> 00:57:41,828
should focus on
the woman's youth.

967
00:57:41,895 --> 00:57:44,230
I'll have Washington
look into counsel competency.

968
00:57:44,297 --> 00:57:47,267
Though I'm almost sure she's
exhausted this on appeal.

969
00:57:47,367 --> 00:57:49,703
See what resources...
David's going to go.

970
00:57:49,769 --> 00:57:52,272
I almost forgot.
Gale's not around, is he?

971
00:57:53,406 --> 00:57:54,574
No.

972
00:57:54,708 --> 00:57:55,909
Good. Keep it that way.

973
00:57:55,975 --> 00:57:58,545
His relationship
with Death Watch is over.

974
00:57:58,611 --> 00:58:01,681
Last thing we need is this rape
thing coming back to bite us.

975
00:58:01,748 --> 00:58:03,883
These guys don't stay
on the wagon for long.

976
00:58:04,484 --> 00:58:05,952
I'm serious, Constance.

977
00:58:06,52 --> 00:58:09,89
Ban him from the premises.
I realize the two of you...

978
00:58:16,563 --> 00:58:17,630
David!

979
00:58:34,914 --> 00:58:38,785
DAVID: Sharon, pick up the phone.
I'm begging you.

980
00:58:38,852 --> 00:58:40,420
He's my son, all right?

981
00:58:40,487 --> 00:58:42,922
He's my son, too,
and I want to talk to him.

982
00:58:42,989 --> 00:58:45,125
You've not let... Hello?

983
00:58:45,191 --> 00:58:47,460
Jamie, is that you?

984
00:58:47,527 --> 00:58:50,163
Hey, little moose horn.

985
00:58:50,964 --> 00:58:52,899
I miss you so much.
It's Daddy.

986
00:58:55,869 --> 00:58:59,105
Jamie, wait.
Don't hang up the phone!

987
00:59:00,674 --> 00:59:01,808
God damn it!

988
00:59:11,451 --> 00:59:12,719
Fuck!

(DAVID COUGHS)

990
01:00:03,269 --> 01:00:04,571
You scared me.

991
01:00:05,71 --> 01:00:06,806
My sheep needs a manager.

992
01:00:07,707 --> 01:00:08,875
A manger.

993
01:00:08,942 --> 01:00:10,744
My sheep needs a manger.

994
01:00:12,178 --> 01:00:13,680
Are you okay?

995
01:00:16,349 --> 01:00:18,685
I fell off the wagon,
and I hurt myself.

996
01:00:20,687 --> 01:00:22,222
Come on inside.

997
01:00:28,94 --> 01:00:31,965
Do you know why St. Jude is the
patron saint of lost causes?

998
01:00:32,65 --> 01:00:34,300
'Cause his real name was Judas.

999
01:00:35,68 --> 01:00:38,71
Judas! There were
two Judases.

1000
01:00:38,138 --> 01:00:42,8
Judae, who was the saint
guy, and then the other one,

1001
01:00:42,709 --> 01:00:44,744
Judas, who was the bad one.

1002
01:00:44,811 --> 01:00:48,815
He's the one who ratted out
Jesus and tried to kiss him.

1003
01:00:48,915 --> 01:00:51,584
In medieval times, they would
never pray to the good Judas

1004
01:00:51,651 --> 01:00:54,854
for fear of getting the bad Judas
on the line just by mistake.

1005
01:00:54,921 --> 01:00:57,724
Ergo, they never
really gave him business

1006
01:00:57,791 --> 01:00:59,659
unless absolutely desperate.

1007
01:01:00,994 --> 01:01:04,264
That's why. And then
they changed his name.

1008
01:01:04,931 --> 01:01:06,733
Your mail is blowing.

1009
01:01:19,446 --> 01:01:20,447
Shit.

1010
01:01:26,86 --> 01:01:29,89
Are you the doctor?
What's wrong with her?

1011
01:01:29,155 --> 01:01:30,123
She'll be fine.

1012
01:01:30,190 --> 01:01:32,158
How do you know?
Calm down.

1013
01:01:32,258 --> 01:01:35,795
She was opening her mail and fell over.
I don't know what's wrong.

1014
01:01:35,862 --> 01:01:37,330
Please.
Is there a doctor?

1015
01:01:37,464 --> 01:01:38,932
Wait here.

1016
01:01:38,998 --> 01:01:40,133
I have to go with her!

1017
01:01:40,266 --> 01:01:41,334
Hold up, Professor!

1018
01:01:41,434 --> 01:01:43,636
You want to get arrested again?

1019
01:01:45,872 --> 01:01:47,607
How do you know who I am?

1020
01:01:47,674 --> 01:01:49,909
I watch the news.
Now go wait.

1021
01:02:26,246 --> 01:02:28,682
How're we doing?
Fine. How's Constance?

1022
01:02:28,748 --> 01:02:29,749
Sleeping.

1023
01:02:31,51 --> 01:02:32,719
A leukemia patient's
condition is

1024
01:02:32,819 --> 01:02:34,387
very susceptible to
external stress...

1025
01:02:34,487 --> 01:02:35,488
What?

1026
01:02:37,257 --> 01:02:40,460
Constance's illness requires
a degree of regularity.

1027
01:02:43,763 --> 01:02:45,465
Constance has leukemia?

1028
01:02:47,367 --> 01:02:48,735
You didn't know?

1029
01:02:51,371 --> 01:02:52,472
Wait.

1030
01:02:57,77 --> 01:02:58,311
No, I didn't.

1031
01:03:07,754 --> 01:03:10,256
It's funny how selfish
we can be, isn't it?

1032
01:03:13,126 --> 01:03:16,763
When I first heard Constance was
dying, I was so mad at her.

1033
01:03:19,65 --> 01:03:20,867
I thought, "How can
you do this to me?

1034
01:03:20,934 --> 01:03:24,237
"I mean, you know how hard it is
for me to need other people."

1035
01:03:27,107 --> 01:03:28,842
Why hadn't she told you?

1036
01:03:30,944 --> 01:03:32,679
She said she was too busy.

1037
01:03:35,615 --> 01:03:37,717
I guess since
death was chasing her,

1038
01:03:37,784 --> 01:03:39,886
she wanted to help
other people avoid it.

1039
01:03:44,891 --> 01:03:46,993
That's what she
did with her life.

1040
01:03:50,430 --> 01:03:55,68
Constance left this world a
better place than she found it.

1041
01:03:58,571 --> 01:04:01,675
It's a small but difficult thing.

1042
01:04:43,550 --> 01:04:46,920
Let's go.
So, what'd you get?

1043
01:04:46,986 --> 01:04:49,989
I talked to the Austin prosecutor.
Belyeu's a joke.

1044
01:04:50,56 --> 01:04:53,560
Actually, the exact phrase he
used was, "Big hat, no cattle."

1045
01:04:53,693 --> 01:04:55,428
He was sanctioned twice.
What?

1046
01:04:55,495 --> 01:04:57,330
Seriously fucked up
the penalty phase.

1047
01:04:57,397 --> 01:05:00,33
He could have got life
on mitigating factors.

1048
01:05:00,133 --> 01:05:02,1
Despite major pro bono offers

1049
01:05:02,68 --> 01:05:03,837
from some of the top
lawyers in the country,

1050
01:05:03,903 --> 01:05:05,538
Gale stuck with him all through

1051
01:05:05,672 --> 01:05:07,273
the appeals process,
which by the way,

1052
01:05:07,340 --> 01:05:09,576
Belyeu continued to screw up.

1053
01:05:09,676 --> 01:05:12,812
So, Belyeu's a joke.
Great.

1054
01:05:15,48 --> 01:05:17,183
BITSEY: Anything else?
Nothing on Berlin.

1055
01:05:17,250 --> 01:05:19,686
We pick up the payola money
in Houston tonight.

1056
01:05:19,753 --> 01:05:21,121
Houston?

1057
01:05:21,221 --> 01:05:22,555
That's what the head office said.

1058
01:05:22,589 --> 01:05:24,24
Overheat light came on twice...

1059
01:05:24,157 --> 01:05:25,558
Come on.

1060
01:05:52,585 --> 01:05:55,755
Oh, man, I never knew $1
million could weigh so much.

1061
01:05:55,855 --> 01:05:57,123
$500,000.

1062
01:05:57,257 --> 01:05:58,491
It's still heavy.

1063
01:05:58,558 --> 01:06:00,727
But $1 million sounds
better for our...

1064
01:06:00,794 --> 01:06:03,229
Excuse me, your story.
$1 million.

1065
01:06:03,296 --> 01:06:05,298
No, wait.
$1 million in cash.

1066
01:06:05,432 --> 01:06:07,400
Just relax, Zack.
It's only money.

1067
01:06:16,76 --> 01:06:17,711
So you coming in?

1068
01:06:19,779 --> 01:06:20,880
Excuse me?

1069
01:06:22,215 --> 01:06:23,717
You want to come in?

1070
01:06:25,251 --> 01:06:26,252
Please.

1071
01:06:26,586 --> 01:06:29,222
What? I thought you were
into guys with money.

1072
01:06:33,159 --> 01:06:34,294
Zack?

1073
01:06:34,394 --> 01:06:35,929
ZACK: What?
It's open.

1074
01:06:37,330 --> 01:06:39,199
Well, maybe the maid forgot.

1075
01:06:41,501 --> 01:06:42,502
Look.

1076
01:06:50,176 --> 01:06:51,878
We got to call somebody.

1077
01:06:55,348 --> 01:06:56,349
Wait.

1078
01:07:08,661 --> 01:07:10,530
What is that?
I don't know.

1079
01:07:27,313 --> 01:07:28,648
(WHISPERING):
This is not good.

1080
01:07:43,563 --> 01:07:44,731
I'm gonna check the bathroom.

1081
01:07:44,898 --> 01:07:46,99
No, Bitsey.

1082
01:07:46,166 --> 01:07:47,534
Wait there.

1083
01:08:26,606 --> 01:08:28,108
Bitsey!
What?

1084
01:08:28,775 --> 01:08:30,10
Zack, there could
have been prints.

1085
01:08:30,110 --> 01:08:31,344
Look.

1086
01:08:49,896 --> 01:08:52,32
The lady at reception says
no one asked for you.

1087
01:08:52,98 --> 01:08:54,901
All the keys are different. She
and her husband have masters.

1088
01:08:54,968 --> 01:08:56,169
What'd you tell her?

1089
01:08:56,302 --> 01:08:57,470
You have a jealous boyfriend.

1090
01:08:57,570 --> 01:08:58,672
How about the VCR?

1091
01:08:58,805 --> 01:08:59,906
She didn't ask.

1092
01:08:59,973 --> 01:09:02,942
I think she assumed it had something
to do with why he was jealous.

1093
01:09:03,43 --> 01:09:04,911
You sure we shouldn't
call the cops?

1094
01:09:04,978 --> 01:09:06,913
Whoever got in
here without a key

1095
01:09:06,980 --> 01:09:08,682
in broad daylight,
was smart enough

1096
01:09:08,748 --> 01:09:11,217
not to leave prints.
I have the remote. Here.

1097
01:09:12,152 --> 01:09:14,788
You sure you want to
see what's on here?

1098
01:09:16,956 --> 01:09:18,58
Try three.

1099
01:09:43,583 --> 01:09:46,753
Belyeu said to bring the
tape first thing tomorrow.

1100
01:09:48,188 --> 01:09:51,825
He also said you were right
about not calling the police.

1101
01:09:57,263 --> 01:09:59,265
You gonna be all right?

1102
01:10:24,791 --> 01:10:26,59
He deserves it
though, probably.

1103
01:10:26,126 --> 01:10:27,994
There's a lot of sick
people in this world,

1104
01:10:28,61 --> 01:10:29,796
and if they done
wrong and found guilty...

1105
01:10:29,896 --> 01:10:32,499
All right, let's just say
Gale's telling the truth.

1106
01:10:32,565 --> 01:10:34,601
Maybe some right-wing
fuck set him up,

1107
01:10:34,701 --> 01:10:36,69
arranged the perfect murder.

1108
01:10:36,136 --> 01:10:38,371
Why would you send a
magazine journalist proof

1109
01:10:38,438 --> 01:10:39,739
a few hours before you'd won?

1110
01:10:39,806 --> 01:10:41,307
It does not make sense.

1111
01:10:41,474 --> 01:10:42,976
No, it's perfect.

1112
01:10:43,777 --> 01:10:46,946
Whoever this is knows how hard
it is to get a retrial in Texas.

1113
01:10:47,47 --> 01:10:48,915
They know the magazine
can't give this

1114
01:10:48,982 --> 01:10:50,917
any substantial play
before the execution.

1115
01:10:50,984 --> 01:10:54,754
We'd have to give it to a daily or
a network. That won't happen.

1116
01:10:54,821 --> 01:10:57,991
But mostly, they know
I'll tell Gale today.

1117
01:10:58,892 --> 01:10:59,893
So?

1118
01:11:01,561 --> 01:11:04,864
What if Constance's murder was
just a means of getting at Gale?

1119
01:11:04,931 --> 01:11:07,967
Not only to get rid of him, but
to make abolitionists look crazy.

1120
01:11:08,68 --> 01:11:11,438
Of course, he sympathizes
with murderers. He is one.

1121
01:11:11,504 --> 01:11:13,740
They make sure he sits
six years on death row

1122
01:11:13,807 --> 01:11:16,443
for a brutal rape and murder,
then they let him die.

1123
01:11:16,509 --> 01:11:19,245
Die knowing everyone will
remember him with disgust.

1124
01:11:19,312 --> 01:11:23,149
They destroy his life, his work,
his memory. And they make him watch.

1125
01:11:25,251 --> 01:11:26,786
That's a lot of hate.

1126
01:11:28,655 --> 01:11:30,490
Well, then why release it?

1127
01:11:30,590 --> 01:11:32,292
Hate's no fun if you
keep it to yourself.

1128
01:11:51,444 --> 01:11:52,445
BITSEY: We got company.

1129
01:11:52,545 --> 01:11:53,546
Who? The cowboy?

1130
01:11:55,215 --> 01:11:57,584
BITSEY: And doing
a lousy job of hiding.

1131
01:11:58,551 --> 01:12:00,20
He must think we're idiots.

1132
01:12:00,153 --> 01:12:01,554
BITSEY: Is he gaining?

1133
01:12:01,654 --> 01:12:03,356
No. He's just
sitting back there.

1134
01:12:03,490 --> 01:12:05,225
Get a license plate number.

1135
01:12:10,63 --> 01:12:11,264
God, I'm sorry.

1136
01:12:11,398 --> 01:12:12,565
He's turned off.

1137
01:12:13,533 --> 01:12:15,268
BITSEY:
What does this guy want?

1138
01:12:19,339 --> 01:12:22,342
BELYEU: Fine. Bobbi, could you make
a quick copy of that videotape

1139
01:12:22,409 --> 01:12:25,345
and bring in Miss Bloom's
original when that's done?

1140
01:12:26,746 --> 01:12:29,15
I don't blame you for
not watching that twice.

1141
01:12:29,82 --> 01:12:30,283
I couldn't sleep afterwards.

1142
01:12:30,383 --> 01:12:31,484
I understand.

1143
01:12:31,551 --> 01:12:34,154
I tell folks I'm no more
afraid of the Grim Reaper

1144
01:12:34,220 --> 01:12:36,589
than I am of a Presbyterian
on Mother's Day.

1145
01:12:36,690 --> 01:12:40,894
But watching that tape,
I had to keep telling myself,

1146
01:12:40,994 --> 01:12:43,396
"That's not Constance,"
just to get through.

1147
01:12:43,496 --> 01:12:45,999
Unfortunately,
others may argue the same.

1148
01:12:46,499 --> 01:12:49,869
But it's in her kitchen.
In her house.

1149
01:12:49,936 --> 01:12:53,173
But currently home to
Weirdoes Incorporated.

1150
01:12:53,239 --> 01:12:56,242
Arguably, that tape could've
been made by anybody with $20

1151
01:12:56,343 --> 01:12:58,211
and a tolerance for vulgarity.

1152
01:12:58,278 --> 01:12:59,479
Will it get us a postponement?

1153
01:12:59,546 --> 01:13:00,714
Us?

1154
01:13:03,283 --> 01:13:05,652
This ain't my first rodeo,
Miss Bloom.

1155
01:13:05,719 --> 01:13:08,521
Now, I got to tell you that
there's a machine a-running.

1156
01:13:08,588 --> 01:13:10,357
And come tomorrow
night at 6:00,

1157
01:13:10,457 --> 01:13:12,225
that machine gonna
want to be fed.

1158
01:13:12,292 --> 01:13:13,660
All here, Mr. Belyeu.

1159
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:15,95
BELYEU:
Thank you, Aaron.

1160
01:13:15,462 --> 01:13:18,64
Now, to add to our troubles,
your own credibility

1161
01:13:18,131 --> 01:13:19,232
may come into question.

1162
01:13:19,299 --> 01:13:20,266
Why?

1163
01:13:20,367 --> 01:13:22,535
You've been fraternizing
with the condemned.

1164
01:13:22,602 --> 01:13:24,404
I've been what?
In the court's eyes,

1165
01:13:24,471 --> 01:13:27,240
he's the most likely candidate
to have put you onto that tape.

1166
01:13:27,307 --> 01:13:30,110
He's a persuasive man. You're
an out-of-state woman.

1167
01:13:30,210 --> 01:13:31,578
That don't look good.

1168
01:13:31,644 --> 01:13:34,781
Mr. Belyeu, someone put
the tape in my room.

1169
01:13:34,881 --> 01:13:37,117
BELYEU: That's a fact for which
we have no evidence.

1170
01:13:37,217 --> 01:13:38,318
Thank you, Bobbi.

1171
01:13:38,451 --> 01:13:39,519
Thanks.

1172
01:13:40,653 --> 01:13:44,90
Let's not throw a pity party
and sit around reading Kafka.

1173
01:13:44,157 --> 01:13:46,459
Could be we find
a sympathetic judge.

1174
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:48,928
Now, I'll file within the hour.

1175
01:13:48,995 --> 01:13:50,764
You going to see Gale?
Yeah.

1176
01:13:50,830 --> 01:13:52,565
Fine. I'll give you
a call over to

1177
01:13:52,665 --> 01:13:54,434
the motel later with an update.

1178
01:14:08,848 --> 01:14:10,650
My coat.
Shoot.

1179
01:14:30,203 --> 01:14:31,438
What?
You saw him?

1180
01:14:31,504 --> 01:14:32,572
Who?
The cowboy.

1181
01:14:32,639 --> 01:14:33,640
He was here?

1182
01:14:33,707 --> 01:14:36,476
He's in the lobby! See if his
truck's out front. Tail him.

1183
01:14:36,543 --> 01:14:38,311
Get a license number.
Find out who he is.

1184
01:14:38,378 --> 01:14:40,146
Don't screw it.
It's important.

1185
01:14:40,213 --> 01:14:41,381
But how will you
get to the prison?

1186
01:14:41,548 --> 01:14:42,716
Taxi.

1187
01:15:28,328 --> 01:15:29,329
Fuck!

1188
01:15:33,767 --> 01:15:35,35
You're not being straight.

1189
01:15:35,101 --> 01:15:37,37
I walk out of Belyeu's office,
the guy's in the lobby!

1190
01:15:37,103 --> 01:15:38,705
Maybe you should calm down.

1191
01:15:38,772 --> 01:15:40,940
GUARD (OVER P.A.):
Visitor needs to stay seated.

1192
01:15:42,709 --> 01:15:44,444
Maybe you should sit down.

1193
01:15:50,950 --> 01:15:52,719
His name is Dusty Wright.

1194
01:15:52,786 --> 01:15:55,588
He's the local deathwatch
director before Constance.

1195
01:15:55,689 --> 01:15:57,757
He's a bullhorner.

1196
01:15:57,857 --> 01:15:59,92
He's a zealot who thinks

1197
01:15:59,192 --> 01:16:02,662
that a good demonstration has
to end with riots and arrests.

1198
01:16:03,630 --> 01:16:06,433
Deathwatch fired him because
he punched someone at a rally.

1199
01:16:06,533 --> 01:16:09,102
But Constance kept
him in the organization.

1200
01:16:09,202 --> 01:16:13,239
He adored her. They were close.
Real close.

1201
01:16:15,108 --> 01:16:16,743
He testified at my trial.

1202
01:16:17,143 --> 01:16:20,513
Testified to support you, or
to oppose the death penalty?

1203
01:16:21,414 --> 01:16:22,816
He testified against me.

1204
01:16:22,949 --> 01:16:24,384
Against you?

1205
01:16:24,451 --> 01:16:26,686
He testified
about the drinking.

1206
01:16:26,753 --> 01:16:29,489
Alcohol is a mitigating
factor in capital cases.

1207
01:16:30,623 --> 01:16:32,592
I always told
myself that he did it

1208
01:16:32,659 --> 01:16:36,396
in some sick way to try to help
me get a reduced sentence.

1209
01:16:37,597 --> 01:16:39,699
I guess he believes
I really killed her.

1210
01:16:40,333 --> 01:16:42,736
Dusty's a man easily
blinded by hatred.

1211
01:16:45,338 --> 01:16:48,241
Maybe he hated you because
you were seeing Constance.

1212
01:16:48,308 --> 01:16:50,43
I wasn't seeing Constance.

1213
01:16:50,143 --> 01:16:51,811
She had your semen inside her.

1214
01:16:51,911 --> 01:16:55,15
I know. Look, it's a little
more complicated than that.

1215
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:02,288
CROWD (CHANTING): Respect
for life means every life.

1216
01:17:11,698 --> 01:17:15,368
(CROWD CHEERING AND CLAPPING)

1217
01:17:21,541 --> 01:17:24,477
When you kill someone,
you rob their family.

1218
01:17:25,211 --> 01:17:28,214
Not just of a loved one,
but of their humanity.

1219
01:17:28,682 --> 01:17:31,117
You harden their
hearts with hate,

1220
01:17:31,184 --> 01:17:34,621
you take away their capacity
for civilized dispassion,

1221
01:17:34,688 --> 01:17:37,57
you condemn them to bloodlust.

1222
01:17:38,58 --> 01:17:40,994
It's a cruel and
horrible thing.

1223
01:17:41,61 --> 01:17:44,731
But indulging that
hate will never help.

1224
01:17:45,799 --> 01:17:48,201
The damage is done.

1225
01:17:48,301 --> 01:17:51,504
And once we've had our pound
of flesh, we're still hungry.

1226
01:17:51,571 --> 01:17:54,974
We leave the death house
muttering that lethal injection

1227
01:17:55,41 --> 01:17:56,976
was just too good for them.

1228
01:17:57,43 --> 01:18:01,314
In the end, a civilized society
must live with the hard truth.

1229
01:18:02,182 --> 01:18:05,285
He who seeks
revenge digs two graves.

1230
01:18:06,419 --> 01:18:08,388
They're bringing Betty Sues people out.

1231
01:18:10,256 --> 01:18:11,624
Thank you, Dusty.

1232
01:18:27,407 --> 01:18:29,442
(SOBBING) Just look.
Look at those losers.

1233
01:18:30,10 --> 01:18:33,980
Rednecks, ghetto hustlers,
drug addicts, schizophrenics!

1234
01:18:34,47 --> 01:18:36,683
They're murderers!
And who cares if they die?

1235
01:18:36,750 --> 01:18:41,988
Who cares if the cycle
just goes on and on?

1236
01:19:02,475 --> 01:19:05,578
Hey, did you make it
to your meeting today?

1237
01:19:05,645 --> 01:19:09,549
Yeah. But I think I have to
find one less guru-like.

1238
01:19:11,618 --> 01:19:13,887
Did you take your medicine?

1239
01:19:16,56 --> 01:19:17,223
Feel better?

1240
01:19:24,764 --> 01:19:27,400
You know those stages
of Kubler-Ross?

1241
01:19:28,501 --> 01:19:30,804
The ones the dying go through?

1242
01:19:34,107 --> 01:19:37,10
Anger. Denial.

1243
01:19:38,478 --> 01:19:39,946
Bargaining.

1244
01:19:43,650 --> 01:19:44,951
Depression.

1245
01:19:45,85 --> 01:19:46,353
Depression.
Acceptance.

1246
01:19:46,453 --> 01:19:48,288
Which one are you?
Denial.

1247
01:19:48,355 --> 01:19:50,824
Denial's good.
That's a good one.

1248
01:19:51,825 --> 01:19:55,295
The whole idea of there being
a process makes me tired.

1249
01:19:56,496 --> 01:19:58,965
I'm not up to the
job of dying person.

1250
01:19:59,32 --> 01:20:01,401
Marveling at blades of grass,

1251
01:20:02,202 --> 01:20:04,704
lecturing strangers
to relish every moment.

1252
01:20:05,839 --> 01:20:08,108
Mending bridges.

1253
01:20:09,275 --> 01:20:11,177
Confessing regrets.

1254
01:20:11,277 --> 01:20:12,512
What? No regrets?

1255
01:20:12,645 --> 01:20:13,880
Nope.

1256
01:20:15,949 --> 01:20:16,950
Wow.

1257
01:20:19,386 --> 01:20:21,54
I take that back.

1258
01:20:22,856 --> 01:20:24,457
I wish I'd had a child.

1259
01:20:24,557 --> 01:20:26,192
Yeah, so do I.

1260
01:20:26,292 --> 01:20:28,61
I'm sorry, David.
No.

1261
01:20:31,664 --> 01:20:35,168
I guess I just wish
I had risked more.

1262
01:20:37,70 --> 01:20:38,972
And not enough sex.

1263
01:20:39,739 --> 01:20:41,107
I should have had more sex.

1264
01:20:41,207 --> 01:20:42,509
Really?

1265
01:20:49,883 --> 01:20:51,718
How many lovers did you have?

1266
01:20:51,818 --> 01:20:53,486
Including college?

1267
01:20:53,553 --> 01:20:55,221
Including college.

1268
01:21:05,231 --> 01:21:08,201
Sex is really... It's not
all it's cracked up to be.

1269
01:21:09,335 --> 01:21:10,804
It's so overrated.

1270
01:21:13,106 --> 01:21:15,8
DAVID: You should have
had more sex.

1271
01:21:18,111 --> 01:21:21,348
You work so hard not to
be seen as a sex object.

1272
01:21:23,116 --> 01:21:25,352
Before long,
you're not seen at all.

1273
01:21:30,590 --> 01:21:31,758
I see you.

1274
01:21:38,965 --> 01:21:40,734
You want to make it five?

1275
01:21:42,302 --> 01:21:43,737
Complete the hand?

1276
01:21:44,471 --> 01:21:45,972
What? A pity lay?

1277
01:21:47,741 --> 01:21:48,875
No, thanks.

1278
01:21:56,249 --> 01:21:57,751
It wouldn't be pity.

1280
01:23:15,528 --> 01:23:16,629
Can I help you?

1281
01:23:16,730 --> 01:23:17,764
No.

1282
01:23:17,864 --> 01:23:20,33
I'm leaving.
I'm sorry. Thanks.

(TRAIN WHISTLES AS IT APPROACHES CROSSING)

1284
01:24:34,574 --> 01:24:36,109
It was Dusty.

1285
01:24:36,910 --> 01:24:40,280
He had a motive. He knew you both.
He visited that morning.

1286
01:24:40,347 --> 01:24:43,116
If I could answer
that for sure,

1287
01:24:43,183 --> 01:24:45,985
we wouldn't be
having this conversation.

01:24:46,519 --> 01:24:49,956
It's what I need you for.
It's why I chose you.

1289
01:24:50,23 --> 01:24:51,458
Now I've told you everything.

1290
01:24:51,591 --> 01:24:53,59
But I still don't know.

1291
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:54,794
I need more time.

1292
01:24:54,928 --> 01:24:56,396
You'll find time.

1293
01:24:57,30 --> 01:24:59,199
You should have
done this earlier.

1294
01:24:59,366 --> 01:25:01,534
You're not here to save me.

1295
01:25:01,634 --> 01:25:04,971
You're here to save my son's
memory of his father.

1296
01:25:07,40 --> 01:25:08,408
That's all I want.

1297

You're gonna let them kill you?

1298
01:25:13,46 --> 01:25:16,983
Bitsey, we spend our whole
lives trying to stop death.

1299
01:25:17,50 --> 01:25:19,719
Eating, inventing, loving,

1300
01:25:20,553 --> 01:25:23,189
Praying, fighting,

1301
01:25:24,824 --> 01:25:25,825
killing.

1302
01:25:27,60 --> 01:25:29,729
But what do we
really know about death?

1303
01:25:29,829 --> 01:25:31,631
Just that nobody comes back.

1304
01:25:33,500 --> 01:25:35,702
But there comes
a point in life,

1305
01:25:36,569 --> 01:25:37,871
a moment,

1306
01:25:39,72 --> 01:25:42,242
when your mind
outlives its desires,

1307
01:25:43,543 --> 01:25:45,145
its obsessions.

1308
01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:48,415
When your habits

1309
01:25:49,683 --> 01:25:51,584
survive your dreams.

1310
01:25:55,188 --> 01:25:57,424
And when your losses...

1311
01:26:03,697 --> 01:26:05,365
Maybe death is a gift.

1312
01:26:08,101 --> 01:26:09,269

Let's go, Gale.

1315
01:26:17,410 --> 01:26:21,414
All I can tell you is that by
this time tomorrow, I'll be dead.

1316
01:26:22,515 --> 01:26:24,17
I know when.

1317
01:26:25,452 --> 01:26:27,187
I just can't say why.

1318
01:26:29,956 --> 01:26:31,958
You have 24 hours to find out.

1319
01:26:38,298 --> 01:26:39,566
Goodbye, Bitsey.

Yeah.

No. Any word on the appeal?

Denied. Tape went to a
federal judge two hours ago.

1325

Now what you got was
definitely a snippet.

1326

Best you not get into too
much sightseeing right now.

1329
01:27:59,379 --> 01:28:01,614
Just stick close
to your motel room.

1330
01:28:05,485 --> 01:28:07,487
How's David?
He's holding up.

1331
01:28:07,554 --> 01:28:09,689
Gonna be a hard night.

1332
01:28:09,789 --> 01:28:11,991
Will you tell him
I'll take care of it?

1333
01:28:12,58 --> 01:28:13,626
About his son, I mean.

1334
01:28:13,727 --> 01:28:15,328
I'll do that.

1335
01:28:15,395 --> 01:28:17,564
You staying for the execution?

1336
01:28:18,865 --> 01:28:21,401
Then I'll see you tomorrow.
Watch yourselves.

1337
01:28:26,172 --> 01:28:28,508
Were Dusty Wright
and Constance close?

1338
01:28:28,575 --> 01:28:30,944
Yeah. Thick as thieves,
those two.

1339
01:28:31,878 --> 01:28:33,13

1340
01:28:33,146 --> 01:28:34,247
Whoa, now.

1341
01:28:34,347 --> 01:28:36,716
You're plowing a little
too close to the cotton.

1342
01:28:36,816 --> 01:28:39,52
That was just a rumor.
Nothing more.

1343
01:28:39,519 --> 01:28:40,520
Night-night.

1344
01:31:38,932 --> 01:31:41,901
Wake up! Did you throw
the towel on the floor?

1345
01:31:42,35 --> 01:31:44,371
What? This towel was
on my bathroom floor.

1346
01:31:44,437 --> 01:31:45,805
Did you throw it there?

1347
01:31:45,939 --> 01:31:47,307
I guess. What?
It's a motel.

1348
01:31:47,374 --> 01:31:49,409
Would you do that at home?
No.

1349
01:31:49,476 --> 01:31:52,245
It's not like we're staying
in the frigging Four Seasons.

1350
01:31:52,312 --> 01:31:55,382
Come on, get the TV.
We're taking it with us.

1351
01:31:55,448 --> 01:31:58,451
What are you talking about?
Where are we going?

1352
01:31:58,551 --> 01:31:59,953
Austin. Get the TV.

1353
01:32:00,86 --> 01:32:01,488
All right.

1354
01:32:06,393 --> 01:32:07,394
Hold on.

1355
01:32:30,417 --> 01:32:31,518
Want to make $100?

1356
01:32:31,685 --> 01:32:32,786
NICO: What do I got to do?

1357
01:32:32,852 --> 01:32:34,954
BITSEY: We're going
over the crime scene.

1358
01:32:35,655 --> 01:32:37,524
Put the TV on the bed, Zack.

1359
01:32:40,860 --> 01:32:44,297
Now, for the next hour, I want
you to do exactly what I say

1360
01:32:44,364 --> 01:32:47,367
when I say to do it. If I
say, "Jump," you jump.

1361
01:32:47,467 --> 01:32:49,302
You want me to jump?
A figure of speech.

1362
01:32:49,369 --> 01:32:51,37
Your boyfriend
put the tripod back.

1363
01:32:51,171 --> 01:32:52,706
He's not my boyfriend anymore.

1364
01:32:52,839 --> 01:32:54,641
Still have the video camera?
Yes.

1365
01:32:54,708 --> 01:32:56,676
Good. Get it. I got
to collect first.

1366
01:32:56,776 --> 01:32:58,511
Zack, give her the money.

1367
01:33:06,553 --> 01:33:08,788
Can you move that stuff
off the counter for me?

1368
01:33:08,855 --> 01:33:11,591
By the lamp.
Yeah, thanks.

1369
01:33:17,997 --> 01:33:19,532
Put the gloves
on the dish rack.

1370
01:33:19,666 --> 01:33:21,167
I don't have a dish rack.

1371
01:33:21,701 --> 01:33:23,236
BITSEY: Zack, could you...

1372
01:33:29,9 --> 01:33:30,543
Turn them inside out.

1373
01:33:34,47 --> 01:33:36,216
BITSEY:
Put the duct tape on the floor.

1374
01:33:37,650 --> 01:33:38,885
By the stove.

1375
01:33:44,758 --> 01:33:46,693
Could you...
What's your name?

1376
01:33:46,760 --> 01:33:48,194
Nico's fine.

1377
01:33:48,695 --> 01:33:52,799
Nico, I want you to lie
down facing the counter.

1378
01:33:54,167 --> 01:33:55,902
We can imagine that part.

1379
01:34:01,608 --> 01:34:02,742
Zack, put her in position.

1380
01:34:02,876 --> 01:34:04,10
Okay.

1381
01:34:08,281 --> 01:34:09,783
Move this way.

1382
01:34:09,883 --> 01:34:11,685
All right.
BITSEY: Now forward.

1383
01:34:12,352 --> 01:34:14,954
There. Okay. On her side.

1384
01:34:15,955 --> 01:34:19,25
Right. Her top leg
out a little.

1385
01:34:20,460 --> 01:34:21,561
BITSEY: There.

1386
01:34:25,532 --> 01:34:26,900
Now look at this.

1387
01:34:31,638 --> 01:34:33,540
She moves her foot.

1388
01:34:33,606 --> 01:34:35,709
I noticed this
back at the motel.

1389
01:34:36,476 --> 01:34:38,845
She moves her foot.
Quite deliberately.

1390
01:34:39,612 --> 01:34:41,114
And then she's still.

1391
01:34:41,214 --> 01:34:44,50
For another 15
seconds she's still.

1392
01:34:44,117 --> 01:34:45,952
And then she
starts to struggle.

1393
01:34:46,52 --> 01:34:48,421
That doesn't make sense.
If this was a murder,

1394
01:34:48,488 --> 01:34:51,958
she'd just be struggling and then
she'd be still. She'd be dead.

1395
01:34:52,58 --> 01:34:55,28
Maybe she was faking.
Hoping he'd go away.

1396
01:34:57,397 --> 01:34:58,398
Or...

1397
01:35:02,268 --> 01:35:04,137

She did it herself.

1415
01:37:51,304 --> 01:37:54,741
She used the gloves to keep her
fingerprints off the tape and bag.

1416

Then she put them
back on the dish rack.

She knew she would instinctively
try to rip the bag off.

1424

And she swallowed the key
so she couldn't get to it.

1425

She made sure
there was no way out.

why not die for it?

1457
01:40:33,666 --> 01:40:36,269
You know, the original plan
was probably for Dusty

1458
01:40:36,336 --> 01:40:38,938
to release the tape
after Gale's conviction.

1459
01:40:39,5 --> 01:40:40,974
You know, after a year or so.

1460
01:40:41,74 --> 01:40:44,411

on this tape, waiting.

And he's the only
one who knows about it.

1463
01:40:50,850 --> 01:40:53,787
So Dusty starts to think
that an erroneous execution

1464
01:40:53,853 --> 01:40:56,623
is a lot more politically
useful than a last-minute save.

1465
01:40:56,690 --> 01:40:59,859
Because a last-minute save would
only prove the system works.

murder if it stops thousands?"

01:41:08,101 --> 01:41:11,337
So, he'll release the whole
tape only after the execution.

the original somewhere.
