1
00:01:59,751 --> 00:02:03,380
Shit! Shit! Shit!

2
00:02:43,378 --> 00:02:47,424
Hey! Stop, please!

3
00:03:05,734 --> 00:03:08,695
<i>In a related story,
the high court had also refused…</i>

4
00:03:08,737 --> 00:03:13,200
<i>to stay Friday’s execution of former
philosophy professor David Gale.</i>

5
00:03:13,241 --> 00:03:16,536
— Oh, boy.
<i>— Gale had sought a review of his 1994 conviction…</i>

6
00:03:16,578 --> 00:03:20,916
<i>for the rape and murder of his University
of Austin colleague Constance Harraway.</i>

7
00:03:20,999 --> 00:03:25,545
<i>The case has received nation wide media
attention because Gale and Harraway…</i>

8
00:03:25,587 --> 00:03:30,008
<i>were activists for DeathWatch,
a nonprofit abolitionist organization.</i>

9
00:03:30,092 --> 00:03:32,928
<i>Do you understand how much money the
taxpayers pay in the state of Texas…</i>

10
00:03:32,969 --> 00:03:35,013
<i>to put one person to death?</i>

11
00:03:35,097 --> 00:03:37,849
<i>— What do we want?
— No more executions!</i>

12
00:03:37,933 --> 00:03:39,851
<i>Governor,
can’t we all just admit…</i>

13
00:03:39,935 --> 00:03:42,396
<i>that the capital punishment system
in this country is not working?</i>

14
00:03:42,437 --> 00:03:45,357
They’re not gonna stay Gale.
It’s on TV right now. Listen.

15
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,776
<i>Defense lawyers
had hoped to argue…</i>

16
00:03:47,859 --> 00:03:50,904
<i>that Gale’s former activism
against capital punishment…</i>

17
00:03:50,946 --> 00:03:53,407
<i>unduly prejudiced
the Texas judicial system.</i>

18
00:03:53,448 --> 00:03:56,785
The deal was, Bitsey would get
the interview if the stay was refused.

19
00:03:56,868 --> 00:03:58,912
He’ll talk to her
for two hours a day…

20
00:03:58,954 --> 00:04:01,790
Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday.

21
00:04:01,873 --> 00:04:06,086
Can’t do Friday, no. ’Cause Friday’s
the day they execute him.

22
00:04:07,629 --> 00:04:10,465
— The lawyer said only Bitsey.
— Gale’s going down.

23
00:04:10,549 --> 00:04:14,428
"Only Bitsey" means only Bitsey.

24
00:04:14,469 --> 00:04:17,472
I don’t get to make the rules, Joe.
Please, I’m a fat black woman.

25
00:04:17,514 --> 00:04:21,268
— Tell him I said…
— What we need is to put her on a plane to Texas.

26
00:04:21,351 --> 00:04:23,812
Why do you get like that around legal?
Hold on. We’re coming over.

27
00:04:26,982 --> 00:04:29,484
So what’s this "Only Bitsey
means only Bitsey" stuff?

28
00:04:29,526 --> 00:04:32,904
— They asked for you and no substitutes.
— Who’s "they" exactly?

29
00:04:32,988 --> 00:04:37,576
Gale’s lawyers. More exactly, Gale’s lawyer…
some good ol’ boy in Austin.

30
00:04:37,659 --> 00:04:40,495
— Why do they want me?
— You’re telling me you don’t want the assignment?

31
00:04:40,579 --> 00:04:45,625
No. I just can’t see why a guy on death row
about to be executed should ask for me.

32
00:04:45,667 --> 00:04:48,628
I think they like the kiddie porn piece
you did and going to jail and stuff.

33
00:04:48,670 --> 00:04:51,298
I don’t know. Maybe he saw
your picture and thinks you’re cute.

34
00:04:51,381 --> 00:04:54,760
— So how much access do I get?
— Three interviews. No time for any more.

35
00:04:54,843 --> 00:04:56,803
By Friday, the guy’s a goner.

36
00:04:56,887 --> 00:05:01,391
— Okay. What exactly is our story?
— Rape, murder, death row.

37
00:05:01,475 --> 00:05:04,311
Very intelligent guy.
Hey, maybe he’s even innocent.

38
00:05:04,353 --> 00:05:06,355
Yeah, right.

39
00:05:06,438 --> 00:05:09,608
No, no. Tell him
I’ll call him back. Thanks.

40
00:05:09,691 --> 00:05:11,943
— Okay, so what’s your problem?
— Hi, Barbara.

41
00:05:12,027 --> 00:05:14,529
Good morning, Bitsey.
Okay. Here’s my concern.

42
00:05:14,613 --> 00:05:18,617
Setting aside the cost, although
half a million dollars… in cash, I might add…

43
00:05:18,700 --> 00:05:21,661
for three days of interviews
is not only illegal, it’s obscene.

44
00:05:21,703 --> 00:05:24,456
That’s market value.
The guy’s never talked.

45
00:05:24,539 --> 00:05:28,418
Aside from that, I… we… are still
uncomfortable with the arrangement.

46
00:05:28,502 --> 00:05:32,255
— Why?
— You just spent a very public seven days in jail…

47
00:05:32,339 --> 00:05:34,466
for a very public
contempt of court citation.

48
00:05:34,549 --> 00:05:37,678
For protecting sources. If you’re so goddamn
uncomfortable with the story…

49
00:05:37,719 --> 00:05:41,014
why did you slap it on both the domestic
and the international covers?

50
00:05:41,056 --> 00:05:45,352
Look, what makes me… us… uncomfortable
is the fact that a rapist-slash-murderer…

51
00:05:45,435 --> 00:05:48,480
has asked to spend the last three days
of his life giving an interview…

52
00:05:48,563 --> 00:05:53,193
his very first… to a reporter who is now
famous for protecting sexual deviants…

53
00:05:53,235 --> 00:05:55,362
a reporter who’s also
a very attractive woman.

54
00:05:55,404 --> 00:05:58,865
Aw, come on!
This is disparate treatment.

55
00:05:58,949 --> 00:06:01,410
— Oh, boy.
— I could go if I were an ugly guy?

56
00:06:01,493 --> 00:06:04,579
There’s an agenda issue here which would be
defused with the presence of a man.

57
00:06:04,663 --> 00:06:10,377
I hear lawyers gleefully saying the words
"Bloom vs. NEWS Magazine, Incorporated. "

58
00:06:10,419 --> 00:06:14,006
Your Honor, I started to notice my assignments
being determined on the basis of my sex.

59
00:06:14,089 --> 00:06:16,258
— No.
— You’ve gotta let her go now.

60
00:06:16,341 --> 00:06:18,885
— That’s not quite what I meant.
— He’s gotta let you go.

61
00:06:18,969 --> 00:06:23,223
All right, all right. Enough.
But the intern will be with you at all times.

62
00:06:23,306 --> 00:06:27,394
— Okay.
— What? Intern? No. You gotta be kidding.

63
00:06:27,477 --> 00:06:30,188
— That’s what he said. He’s the boss.
— He’s a jerk.

64
00:06:30,272 --> 00:06:32,733
Come on. Not an intern.
I always work alone.

65
00:06:32,816 --> 00:06:35,193
— Not this time, Bitsey.
— Look, I’m not baby-sitting.

66
00:06:51,460 --> 00:06:55,130
Gale’s D.N.A. Was everywhere.
His semen was inside her.

67
00:06:55,213 --> 00:06:57,132
He was seen leaving her house.

68
00:06:57,174 --> 00:06:59,426
His prints were all over the kitchen,
including one on the bag.

69
00:06:59,468 --> 00:07:02,888
— Half a thumb print.
— Okay, half a thumb print. That’s enough.

70
00:07:02,971 --> 00:07:05,515
He could’ve touched it
before it was a murder weapon.

71
00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:07,601
Do you fondle
your friends’ garbage bags?

72
00:07:07,642 --> 00:07:11,772
I get very touchy around household plastics.
I’m particularly fond of Tupperware.

73
00:07:11,855 --> 00:07:14,816
— Tupperware?
— Look, I’m just saying…

74
00:07:14,900 --> 00:07:17,444
the bag could’ve been sitting
up on the counter or something.

75
00:07:17,527 --> 00:07:20,614
— Zack? He did it. Now he’s gonna die.

76
00:07:20,655 --> 00:07:23,408
And you know something?
Maybe that’s exactly what he deserves.

77
00:07:23,492 --> 00:07:27,412
But the murder’s way too fuckin’ clumsy.
This guy is a major intellectual.

78
00:07:27,496 --> 00:07:32,459
Top of his Harvard class, Rhodes scholar,
tenured at 27, two books published.

79
00:07:32,542 --> 00:07:36,797
He’s an academic stud.
Look at his wife, a regular Grace Kelly…

80
00:07:36,838 --> 00:07:40,634
old money svelte,
father was ambassador to Spain.

81
00:07:40,717 --> 00:07:42,969
Shit. The light’s on again.

82
00:07:43,053 --> 00:07:45,806
— Ignore it. It’s a rental.
— Do you smell anything?

83
00:07:45,847 --> 00:07:48,141
No. Besides, the guy’s
a flaming liberal.

84
00:07:48,183 --> 00:07:50,185
A person’s politics
has nothing to do…

85
00:07:50,268 --> 00:07:52,604
— with his propensity to commit a crime.
— Wrong.

86
00:07:52,688 --> 00:07:54,523
Aren’t we supposed to smell
something if it’s overheating?

87
00:07:54,606 --> 00:07:57,317
Seventy-three percent of
all serial killers vote Republican.

88
00:07:57,401 --> 00:08:00,320
Look, throw your cigarette out
so we can smell.

89
00:08:01,863 --> 00:08:04,199
— No. You’ll stink up the car.
Throw it out.

90
00:08:04,282 --> 00:08:06,785
— I’m not gonna fuckin’ pollute.
— Zack!

91
00:08:21,675 --> 00:08:23,677
There is definitely
something wrong with this car.

92
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,637
Shit. This is so irritating.

93
00:08:25,721 --> 00:08:29,516
— How far to Huntsville?
— Look. I’m gonna pull off.

94
00:08:29,558 --> 00:08:32,853
NEWS Magazine reporters
Bitsey Bloom and Zack Stemmons…

95
00:08:32,936 --> 00:08:35,689
enter the rest area
with car troubles.

96
00:08:35,731 --> 00:08:37,941
Little did they know, it wasn’t
just their car that was in trouble.

97
00:08:38,025 --> 00:08:42,195
— I’m a reporter. You’re an intern.

98
00:08:44,656 --> 00:08:46,658
Whatever.

99
00:09:01,757 --> 00:09:05,635
— Is it hot?
— Ow! Jesus! Yes. Isn’t it always?

100
00:09:07,304 --> 00:09:11,892
— What do I do?
— Call the office and get the rental road service number.

101
00:09:14,478 --> 00:09:18,732
— No signal. I gotta pee.
— Goddamn it.

102
00:09:36,208 --> 00:09:38,377
Zack?

103
00:09:38,460 --> 00:09:42,589
— Zack?

104
00:09:45,133 --> 00:09:47,761
— Zack!
— Yeah!

105
00:10:36,184 --> 00:10:38,145
— Good morning.
— Hi.

106
00:10:39,938 --> 00:10:42,649
A little early for that, isn’t it?

107
00:10:42,733 --> 00:10:47,320
— The nonsmoking section’s over there.
— I meant the book.

108
00:10:47,404 --> 00:10:51,199
Oh. Dialogical Exhaustion
by David Gale.

109
00:10:51,283 --> 00:10:54,828
— The guy’s a genius.
— What time is it?

110
00:10:54,870 --> 00:10:58,665
9:15. There are, like,
10 prisons around here.

111
00:10:58,749 --> 00:11:03,503
Death row’s in the Ellis unit, but they’re
moving it to the Terrell unit end of the year.

112
00:11:03,587 --> 00:11:07,799
The waitress’s boyfriend works there,
but her last boyfriend worked in the Huntsville unit.

113
00:11:07,883 --> 00:11:12,095
The two before that in Walker.
The Estelle unit has the cutest guys.

114
00:11:12,179 --> 00:11:16,224
And, I’m quoting, "My butt’s too big
to get an Estelle guy."

115
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:21,855
Ellis is 15 minutes out of town,
so we’ve got five and a half hours.

116
00:11:21,938 --> 00:11:24,900
Never eat in a place where the menus
have pictures of the food.

117
00:11:24,941 --> 00:11:28,028
Maybe we should drive into Austin
and check out the crime scene.

118
00:11:28,070 --> 00:11:30,655
That could be some great stuff
for our story, you know?

119
00:11:30,739 --> 00:11:34,534
This isn’t "our story."
It’s not even a story. It’s an interview.

120
00:11:34,618 --> 00:11:38,705
Most importantly for you to remember…
it’s my interview.

121
00:11:38,747 --> 00:11:42,042
Okay. What do I do
for the next five hours?

122
00:11:42,084 --> 00:11:44,920
Drive around. Look for
a decent restaurant.

123
00:11:46,546 --> 00:11:49,341
You know, Bitsey,
your reputation…

124
00:11:49,424 --> 00:11:52,177
as "Mike Wallace with P.M.S"
doesn’t do you justice.

125
00:11:52,260 --> 00:11:54,805
My reputation
got us invited here.

126
00:11:54,888 --> 00:11:57,724
I play by the rules
even if my colleagues don’t like it.

127
00:11:57,766 --> 00:12:00,686
— It’s called… Objectivity.
— Ambition?

128
00:12:00,769 --> 00:12:03,480
— So, what can I get you, ma’am?
— Coffee. Just coffee.

129
00:12:07,275 --> 00:12:11,405
— Don’t push me, smart-ass.

130
00:12:24,668 --> 00:12:28,672
You know you’re in the Bible Belt
when there are more churches than Starbucks.

131
00:12:28,755 --> 00:12:31,091
When there are more prisons
than Starbucks.

132
00:12:31,133 --> 00:12:34,678
He should die, die, die.

133
00:13:51,630 --> 00:13:54,341
He’s ready to see y’all now.

134
00:13:54,383 --> 00:13:58,679
Yes, I am. I’m listenin’
very patiently.

135
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,390
Ma’am, I’m not gonna
debate with you…

136
00:14:01,473 --> 00:14:03,684
the rights and wrongs
of this situation.

137
00:14:03,767 --> 00:14:07,396
Our job is to run
the state prison system.

138
00:14:07,479 --> 00:14:10,565
Well, ma’am, this is not France.
This is not Germany.

139
00:14:10,649 --> 00:14:14,069
This is Texas,
and we’re gonna follow Texas law.

140
00:14:14,152 --> 00:14:18,281
Well, you’re very welcome, ma’am.
Good-bye now.

141
00:14:18,365 --> 00:14:22,994
Thank you, Margie.
Correspondents Bloom and Stevens, I presume.

142
00:14:23,078 --> 00:14:25,747
— Yes. Hello.
— Stemmons.

143
00:14:25,831 --> 00:14:28,333
Stemmons. Sorry.
Won’t happen again.

144
00:14:28,417 --> 00:14:31,294
I’m Duke Grover, T.D.C.J.
Community relations.

145
00:14:31,378 --> 00:14:34,381
He’s usually
real good with names.

146
00:14:34,464 --> 00:14:38,510
And these days, I always like to ask,
do you prefer Miss, Mrs. Or Ms.?

147
00:14:38,593 --> 00:14:41,471
— Bitsey.
— Bitsey it is.

148
00:14:41,555 --> 00:14:44,224
— Margie, I’m stealin’ your guests.
— Okeydokey.

149
00:14:44,266 --> 00:14:46,560
— Bitsey, you ever been in a prison?
— Yes.

150
00:14:46,601 --> 00:14:48,603
— On death row?
— No.

151
00:14:48,687 --> 00:14:52,065
I.D.’s again, please.
All executions in the state of Texas…

152
00:14:52,107 --> 00:14:54,234
occur over at
our Huntsville unit downtown…

153
00:14:54,276 --> 00:14:56,778
but death row is here
for the time being.

154
00:14:56,862 --> 00:15:00,699
This is home to all 442 offenders
prior to their date.

155
00:15:00,782 --> 00:15:03,243
Average stay on row
is nine years.

156
00:15:03,285 --> 00:15:05,954
Now, some get commuted,
but most get put to death.

157
00:15:06,038 --> 00:15:08,457
— Earl. It’ll put you off your supper,

158
00:15:08,498 --> 00:15:10,751
But, then, it’s supposed to.

159
00:15:10,792 --> 00:15:13,003
Carla, New York guests
for Mr. Gale.

160
00:15:13,086 --> 00:15:15,839
— Can I get your bags?
— We have three concerns here…

161
00:15:15,922 --> 00:15:18,759
— safety, safety and safety.

162
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,763
Visitation area’s entirely secure. We
just ask that you don’t touch the glass.

163
00:15:22,804 --> 00:15:24,473
— Windex gets expensive.
— Oh, hey.

164
00:15:24,556 --> 00:15:28,560
— You’re not carrying a weapon,
are you, Bitsey?

165
00:15:28,643 --> 00:15:31,772
— Bitsey?
— Sorry. No.

166
00:15:31,813 --> 00:15:34,733
— Mr. Stemmons, you packin’?
— No, sir.

167
00:15:34,816 --> 00:15:36,610
— Cell phone?
— They’re not working. No service.

168
00:15:36,651 --> 00:15:38,695
Then you won’t mind
leaving them here.

169
00:15:38,779 --> 00:15:42,032
We also have rules against the carryin’
of large sums of cash…

170
00:15:42,115 --> 00:15:46,161
— Thank you.
— And the wearin’ of open-toed shoes.

171
00:15:46,244 --> 00:15:48,914
Those will do just fine.
You want to step on through now?

172
00:15:48,997 --> 00:15:50,957
There you go. Mm-hmm.

173
00:15:51,041 --> 00:15:53,627
— Thank you, ma’am.
— That’s fine.

174
00:15:54,878 --> 00:15:57,130
— Open-toed shoes?
— Drives ’em crazy.

175
00:15:57,172 --> 00:15:59,508
Your turn, Mr. Stemmons.
Right on through there.

176
00:15:59,591 --> 00:16:05,055
Good, good. Now, should anything
unpleasant occur in the visitation area…

177
00:16:05,138 --> 00:16:07,140
we ask you to stay put.

178
00:16:07,182 --> 00:16:10,268
And please, follow the instructions
of our fine correctional officers…

179
00:16:10,352 --> 00:16:12,312
should they see fit
to give you any.

180
00:16:12,396 --> 00:16:16,358
Bobby. Now, anything you say
can be overheard…

181
00:16:16,441 --> 00:16:20,362
and any discussion of criminal
activity on your part is admissible.

182
00:16:20,445 --> 00:16:22,864
You’re not plannin’ on
a jailbreak now, are you, Bitsey?

183
00:16:22,948 --> 00:16:26,284
— Uh, no.
— Well, rain seems to be holdin’ off.

184
00:16:26,368 --> 00:16:30,455
You watch your step here, Bitsey girl.
This cement can get pretty slippery.

185
00:16:30,539 --> 00:16:35,252
This is our Japanese garden.
Now, we ask you not to throw coins in the pond.

186
00:16:37,754 --> 00:16:39,965
Right this way.
Almost there.

187
00:16:41,550 --> 00:16:45,846
Here we are.
This is our visitation area right here.

188
00:16:45,887 --> 00:16:49,516
All yours, Mr. Belyeu.
Well, that’s it for me.

189
00:16:49,599 --> 00:16:53,353
— You folks have a safe visit. Bye now.
— Thank you.

190
00:16:53,437 --> 00:16:57,399
— Ms. Bloom? Come right on in here and make yourself comfortable.
— Yes.

191
00:16:57,441 --> 00:17:00,402
Did that P.R. Man
validate your parkin’?

192
00:17:00,444 --> 00:17:05,032
— He said the gift shop would do it.
— She’s a smart one.

193
00:17:05,115 --> 00:17:08,076
— Braxton Belyeu, Mr. Gale’s attorney.
— This is Zack Stemmons.

194
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,414
My good pleasure.
And right over here, we have the man of the hour.

195
00:17:22,007 --> 00:17:24,384
— Hello.
— Hello.

196
00:17:24,468 --> 00:17:28,388
— Hi.
— Sit down, Gale. Prisoner will not stand.

197
00:17:28,430 --> 00:17:30,932
Now, why can’t they
turn that thing down?

198
00:17:31,016 --> 00:17:35,354
My lawyer respectfully requests that you
adjust the volume on the speaker system.

199
00:17:35,437 --> 00:17:38,398
Gale. Sit down.

200
00:17:42,986 --> 00:17:47,616
They’re practicing
being cruel and unusual.

201
00:17:47,699 --> 00:17:50,243
Well, Ms. Bloom, I’m sure
you’re bitin’ at the bit.

202
00:17:50,285 --> 00:17:53,622
It is our understanding that you
are to have three two-hour sessions…

203
00:17:53,705 --> 00:17:56,750
— today, tomorrow and Thursday.
— Mm-hmm.

204
00:17:56,792 --> 00:17:58,877
All at 3:00 in the p.m.

205
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,129
I’m sorry we can’t
afford you more time…

206
00:18:01,213 --> 00:18:03,882
but, contrary
to popular rumor…

207
00:18:03,965 --> 00:18:06,968
we have not yet begun to fight.

208
00:18:07,052 --> 00:18:09,554
It is our understanding
that you will do this alone.

209
00:18:09,638 --> 00:18:11,807
— The magazine would prefer that I’m here.
— Alone. Understood.

210
00:18:11,890 --> 00:18:17,187
It’s also our understanding that you will
use no recording equipment of any kind.

211
00:18:17,270 --> 00:18:19,398
— Correct.
— Excellent.

212
00:18:19,481 --> 00:18:21,983
Now, I have a few papers for which
I need your Jo Ann Hancock.

213
00:18:22,067 --> 00:18:26,279
So if you’d be kind enough to stop
by my Austin office at your earliest convenience.

214
00:18:26,363 --> 00:18:29,449
Thursday mornin’, say?
Expenses and so forth.

215
00:18:33,912 --> 00:18:38,750
Fine. Till Thursday then. Good luck,
Ms. Bloom. I’ll stop by later.

216
00:18:38,834 --> 00:18:43,964
Mr. Zack, what say you and me
partake of a death-defyin’ cigarette…

217
00:18:44,006 --> 00:18:46,967
in the visitors’ parking lot?
Bye-bye, y’all.

218
00:18:55,684 --> 00:18:59,146
— So.
— Please pull up a seat.

219
00:19:06,194 --> 00:19:11,116
— He’s quite a character.
— Yes. He’s about the only outside contact I have now.

220
00:19:11,199 --> 00:19:14,828
— And a good friend.
— Where’s your ex-wife?

221
00:19:14,870 --> 00:19:19,708
I don’t want you to ask me
questions about her or my son.

222
00:19:19,791 --> 00:19:24,296
What I offer you is one thing, but questions
about them are not part of our deal.

223
00:19:24,379 --> 00:19:27,924
Okay. Anything else,
just say "Off the record."

224
00:19:28,008 --> 00:19:31,511
I’ll take it to my grave.
You can trust me on that.

225
00:19:31,595 --> 00:19:35,057
— Does this count
as recording equipment?

226
00:19:36,767 --> 00:19:41,355
— How do we start?
— We start with…

227
00:19:41,396 --> 00:19:45,192
you telling me
what I’m doing here.

228
00:19:45,275 --> 00:19:48,362
No one who looks through that glass
sees a person. They see a crime.

229
00:19:50,197 --> 00:19:53,367
I’m not David Gale.
I’m a murderer and a rapist…

230
00:19:53,450 --> 00:19:55,869
four days shy of his execution.

231
00:19:57,913 --> 00:20:01,667
You’re here because I wanna be remembered
as much for how I led my life…

232
00:20:01,750 --> 00:20:04,670
and the decisions that I made
as for how my life ended.

233
00:20:05,962 --> 00:20:08,882
— Why me?
— Why not?

234
00:20:08,924 --> 00:20:12,386
— You spent some time behind bars yourself recently.
— I certainly have.

235
00:20:12,427 --> 00:20:15,555
Because you do take things
to your grave.

236
00:20:15,639 --> 00:20:19,101
Protecting sources, even kiddie porn scum,
is the magazine policy…

237
00:20:19,142 --> 00:20:21,144
and mine.

238
00:20:21,228 --> 00:20:23,897
I know.
That’s your reputation.

239
00:20:25,857 --> 00:20:30,070
Well, I have a hard story
for you to tell, Ms. Bloom.

240
00:20:30,112 --> 00:20:32,114
It’s not going to be easy.

241
00:20:33,740 --> 00:20:35,867
So where do we begin?

242
00:20:38,662 --> 00:20:41,206
Well, I suppose I should tell you
how I became the head of philosophy…

243
00:20:41,289 --> 00:20:44,251
at the University of Austin.

244
00:20:49,214 --> 00:20:51,466
Come on. Think.

245
00:20:51,550 --> 00:20:55,220
I want you to reach back into
those minds and tell me, tell us all…

246
00:20:55,303 --> 00:20:59,933
What is it that
you fantasize about?

247
00:20:59,975 --> 00:21:02,769
World peace?
I thought so.

248
00:21:02,811 --> 00:21:06,398
— Do you fantasize about
international fame?

249
00:21:08,984 --> 00:21:12,446
Do you fantasize about
winning a Pulitzer Prize?

250
00:21:12,529 --> 00:21:14,990
Or a Nobel Peace Prize?

251
00:21:15,073 --> 00:21:18,243
— An MTV Music Award?

252
00:21:18,326 --> 00:21:23,790
Do you fantasize about meeting
some genius hunk, ostensibly bad…

253
00:21:23,874 --> 00:21:26,251
but secretly simmering
with noble passion…

254
00:21:26,335 --> 00:21:29,671
— and willing to sleep
on the wet spot?

255
00:21:29,755 --> 00:21:32,674
— I’ll take two! I’ll take two!
— What was that?

256
00:21:32,716 --> 00:21:34,718
Kimberly will take two.

257
00:21:34,801 --> 00:21:39,639
You get Lacan’s point.
Fantasies have to be unrealistic…

258
00:21:39,723 --> 00:21:43,352
because the moment… the second…
that you get what you seek…

259
00:21:43,435 --> 00:21:45,437
you don’t…
you can’t want it anymore.

260
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,315
In order to continue to exist…

261
00:21:48,357 --> 00:21:52,819
desire must have its objects
perpetually absent.

262
00:21:52,903 --> 00:21:57,032
It’s not the "it" that you want.
It’s the fantasy of "it".

263
00:21:57,115 --> 00:22:02,037
— So, desire supports crazy fantasies.

264
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,630
Sorry.

265
00:22:09,169 --> 00:22:13,674
This is what Pascal means when he says
that we are only truly happy…

266
00:22:13,757 --> 00:22:16,009
when daydreaming
about future happiness.

267
00:22:16,093 --> 00:22:18,595
— It came today.
— Or why we say…

268
00:22:18,679 --> 00:22:20,806
the hunt is sweeter
than the kill.

269
00:22:20,889 --> 00:22:24,393
Or be careful what you wish for,
not because you’ll get it…

270
00:22:24,476 --> 00:22:28,689
but because you’re doomed
not to want it once you do.

271
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:32,526
So the lesson of Lacan is, living by
your wants will never make you happy.

272
00:22:32,609 --> 00:22:37,656
What it means to be fully human is
to strive to live by ideas and ideals…

273
00:22:37,739 --> 00:22:42,869
and not to measure your life by what
you’ve attained in terms of your desires…

274
00:22:42,911 --> 00:22:47,249
but those small moments
of integrity, compassion…

275
00:22:47,332 --> 00:22:51,003
rationality, even self-sacrifice.

276
00:22:51,086 --> 00:22:56,383
Because in the end, the only way that
we can measure the significance of our own lives…

277
00:22:56,466 --> 00:22:58,927
is by valuing the lives of others.

278
00:23:03,390 --> 00:23:05,350
All right.
I’ll see you all on Monday.

279
00:23:28,457 --> 00:23:31,126
Sorry about being late.

280
00:23:31,209 --> 00:23:33,253
There was, you know, a thing.

281
00:23:34,546 --> 00:23:36,590
Yeah, there usually is, Berlin.

282
00:23:37,966 --> 00:23:40,218
Look, I know that
I’m not doin’ too well.

283
00:23:41,511 --> 00:23:45,015
And to torture a cliché…

284
00:23:46,808 --> 00:23:48,935
I would do anything to pass.

285
00:23:54,608 --> 00:24:00,197
— Anything, huh?
— Any… thing.

286
00:24:02,949 --> 00:24:04,910
Okay, Berlin.

287
00:24:07,996 --> 00:24:09,998
I will give you a good grade…

288
00:24:10,082 --> 00:24:14,252
I will give you
a very, very good grade…

289
00:24:14,336 --> 00:24:18,757
if you would just…

290
00:24:20,509 --> 00:24:22,469
study.

291
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,562
— Hey.
— Hey.

292
00:24:32,646 --> 00:24:36,149
The T.A. Finished transcribing all the governor’s
radio and TV comments. Listen to this gem.

293
00:24:36,233 --> 00:24:41,405
Journalist: Governor, don’t you think
three executions in one week is excessive?

294
00:24:41,488 --> 00:24:45,659
Governor: ’I say, bring’em in, strap’em down
and let’s rock and roll."’

295
00:24:45,701 --> 00:24:48,787
It’s good to hear that our governor’s
in touch with his inner frat boy.

296
00:24:48,870 --> 00:24:51,039
— Tell me again why you’re
not doing this debate.

297
00:24:51,123 --> 00:24:53,959
— Telegenics. You have a cuter butt.
— Oh, I hadn’t noticed.

298
00:24:54,042 --> 00:24:56,878
— I know.
— No. I didn’t mean that.

299
00:24:56,962 --> 00:24:58,463
I’ve highlighted stuff.

300
00:25:05,220 --> 00:25:07,556
He’ll do the whole
"down home wisdom" thing…

301
00:25:07,639 --> 00:25:10,434
capital punishment is God’s law,
an eye for an eye.

302
00:25:10,517 --> 00:25:14,771
Stick to arguments about rational facts.
And watch your ego.

303
00:25:14,855 --> 00:25:16,940
Don’t come across as one of those
"I hate authority…

304
00:25:17,024 --> 00:25:21,445
’cause everyone around here wears big hats
and nobody in charge reads The New Yorker."

305
00:25:21,528 --> 00:25:24,406
— Anything else?
— I’m getting new federal stats from Amnesty tonight.

306
00:25:24,489 --> 00:25:26,700
Well, bring them by Greer’s party.

307
00:25:26,783 --> 00:25:28,994
I have papers to grade.

308
00:25:29,077 --> 00:25:32,205
— And if you have a hangover tomorrow…
— I’m walkin’ away.

309
00:25:32,289 --> 00:25:36,084
— 10:00! Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
— Bushy-tailed.

310
00:25:49,723 --> 00:25:52,267
Hey, Jamie. Did you
mark your calendar yet?

311
00:25:52,351 --> 00:25:54,353
Yep, I sure did.

312
00:25:54,436 --> 00:25:58,732
One, two, three, four more days
until Mom comes home.

313
00:25:58,774 --> 00:26:02,778
Only four more days?
That’s great news.

314
00:26:02,861 --> 00:26:06,198
Can I ask you something?
It’s really, really important.

315
00:26:06,281 --> 00:26:09,743
— Of course you can.
— Can we have pancakes for breakfast?

316
00:26:09,826 --> 00:26:11,912
Okay.

317
00:26:11,995 --> 00:26:16,458
— With syrup and strawberries?
— Well, we’ll have to see.

318
00:26:16,500 --> 00:26:21,922
— And chocolate shavers?
No, no. It’s chocolate shavings.

319
00:26:21,963 --> 00:26:24,758
— And whipped cream?
— Whipped cream?

320
00:26:24,841 --> 00:26:27,719
That’s a lot of requests
for one little boy.

321
00:26:27,803 --> 00:26:31,098
— Why don’t you go to sleep?
— Do Cloud Dog too.

322
00:26:31,181 --> 00:26:33,433
Okay. Good night,
Cloud Dog.

323
00:26:33,475 --> 00:26:36,103
There you go.
You go to sleep.

324
00:26:37,479 --> 00:26:41,817
Good night.
Don’t forget to feed the fish.

325
00:26:41,900 --> 00:26:45,112
— What?
— Don’t forget to feed the fish.

326
00:26:45,153 --> 00:26:47,656
— Okay.

327
00:26:49,658 --> 00:26:53,745
Jo Edna, I’ll be back before midnight.
Here’s the phone number to reach me.

328
00:26:53,829 --> 00:26:55,914
There’s chicken and stuff in
the refrigerator if you want some.

329
00:26:55,998 --> 00:26:59,918
That’s fine, Mr. Gale. Maybe I’ll
fix myself something later. Bye.

330
00:27:00,002 --> 00:27:02,045
Bye.

331
00:27:07,843 --> 00:27:12,806
— Dad, did you feed the fish?
— Yes, I did. Now go to sleep.

332
00:27:18,854 --> 00:27:22,774
— Give me back
my broken night -

333
00:27:22,858 --> 00:27:25,277
— My mirrored room
my secret life -

334
00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:28,155
— He’s the Immanuel Kant of the NFL.

335
00:27:28,196 --> 00:27:30,198
He’s consistent,
he’s accurate, he’s effective.

336
00:27:30,282 --> 00:27:33,160
And let’s not forget…
boring. He is boring.

337
00:27:33,201 --> 00:27:35,829
If you want boring, read
William Bennett’s The Book of Virtues.

338
00:27:35,871 --> 00:27:37,873
I’m still asleep.
Someone wake me up.

339
00:27:37,956 --> 00:27:41,293
— Professor Gale. Where’s your better half?
— John, how are you?

340
00:27:41,376 --> 00:27:44,629
Better half? Oh, my wife.
Um, she’s in Spain.

341
00:27:44,713 --> 00:27:46,798
Again? I am sorry.

342
00:27:46,882 --> 00:27:49,051
John, have you seen Alma?
She’s been looking for you.

343
00:27:49,134 --> 00:27:52,179
So my wife’s affair is
just this big open secret.

344
00:27:52,262 --> 00:27:54,514
Uh, hermeneutical bias.

345
00:27:54,598 --> 00:27:57,184
The only fun truths are
the ones someone’s trying to hide.

346
00:27:57,225 --> 00:28:00,937
She’s been to Barcelona four times this year.
I don’t think she’s trying to hide anything.

347
00:28:01,021 --> 00:28:03,106
Well, her father
is the ambassador.

348
00:28:03,190 --> 00:28:06,026
Yeah, except the embassy’s
in Madrid.

349
00:28:06,068 --> 00:28:08,320
Ah. Oh, by the way,
Berlin’s here…

350
00:28:08,403 --> 00:28:10,572
and, uh, pretty livid.

351
00:28:10,655 --> 00:28:12,657
— Why?
— We’ve expelled her.

352
00:28:12,741 --> 00:28:15,952
She got the letter today and took
the opportunity to throw a little fit in my office.

353
00:28:16,036 --> 00:28:19,873
— Talkin’ about me?
— Why, yes, as a matter of fact, we were.

354
00:28:19,915 --> 00:28:21,917
Did he tell you that I said,
when you were circumcised…

355
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,503
they threw away the wrong part?

356
00:28:24,586 --> 00:28:27,756
Yes. I believe he mentioned it.
It’s called schmuck.

357
00:28:27,839 --> 00:28:30,801
— What?
— The part of the foreskin they throw away…

358
00:28:30,884 --> 00:28:33,053
after circumcision,
I think it’s called schmuck.

359
00:28:33,095 --> 00:28:35,889
— Aren’t we so fucking clever?
— I think perhaps I shall get another.

360
00:28:35,931 --> 00:28:37,933
— David?
— Black Bush.

361
00:28:38,016 --> 00:28:40,811
You were a jerk this afternoon.

362
00:28:40,894 --> 00:28:43,730
Well, for what it’s worth,
I didn’t know about the expulsion till just now.

363
00:28:43,814 --> 00:28:45,857
Is that supposed to be an apology?

364
00:28:45,941 --> 00:28:50,779
No. It’s more like a… conciliation.

365
00:29:03,125 --> 00:29:06,920
— I call you on the phone -

366
00:29:07,004 --> 00:29:10,215
— Every night about this time -

367
00:29:11,883 --> 00:29:15,303
— Ross.! Ross.! Ross.! Ross.!

368
00:29:18,140 --> 00:29:20,767
All right, all right. All right.

369
00:29:20,851 --> 00:29:24,146
As the poets
have mournfully sung…

370
00:29:24,229 --> 00:29:27,024
death takes
the innocent young…

371
00:29:27,107 --> 00:29:30,110
— the screamingly funny,
the rolling in money,

372
00:29:30,193 --> 00:29:33,947
— And those who are very well hung.

373
00:29:38,493 --> 00:29:40,620
Gale! Gale! Gale! Gale!

374
00:29:40,704 --> 00:29:43,248
Gale! Gale!
Gale! Gale!

375
00:29:45,584 --> 00:29:47,961
There once was a lesbian
from Cancun…

376
00:29:48,003 --> 00:29:51,840
— Oh, get dirty!
— Who took a young man up to her room…

377
00:29:51,923 --> 00:29:53,842
where they argued all night
as to who had the right…

378
00:29:53,925 --> 00:29:57,137
to do what and how much
and to whom.

379
00:29:57,179 --> 00:29:59,681
Enough. Enough.

380
00:29:59,723 --> 00:30:03,185
— Ross! Ross!
— I’m spent.

381
00:30:03,226 --> 00:30:06,980
— I have no more.!

382
00:30:36,885 --> 00:30:40,430
— Okay. I’m finished. I’m done.

383
00:30:43,392 --> 00:30:45,435
I’m not a student anymore.

384
00:30:46,895 --> 00:30:49,690
I do not think
I wanna know what that means.

385
00:30:50,982 --> 00:30:54,361
There once was a girl
named Berlin…

386
00:30:54,444 --> 00:30:57,114
who liked a bit
now and again.

387
00:30:57,197 --> 00:31:00,993
Not now and again,
but now…

388
00:31:01,076 --> 00:31:03,120
— And again…

389
00:31:03,203 --> 00:31:05,288
and again.

390
00:31:05,372 --> 00:31:09,209
— Cute, huh?
— Oh, yeah. Very cute.

391
00:31:10,544 --> 00:31:13,046
I have a secret…

392
00:31:13,130 --> 00:31:15,132
but I have to come
over there to tell you.

393
00:31:15,215 --> 00:31:17,718
Oh, no, no, no, no.
No. You s…

394
00:31:17,801 --> 00:31:19,594
— Here…
— No. No.

395
00:31:19,678 --> 00:31:21,888
— I come.
— You stay back.

396
00:31:21,930 --> 00:31:24,224
Woman, you should…

397
00:31:24,307 --> 00:31:26,935
You should…
You should stay…

398
00:31:27,019 --> 00:31:29,688
I wasn’t after the grade.

399
00:31:34,026 --> 00:31:36,862
— Look, I don’t think
this is… is such a…
— Shh.

400
00:31:39,156 --> 00:31:42,534
Now, we can talk, analyze…

401
00:31:42,617 --> 00:31:44,578
contemplate.

402
00:31:44,661 --> 00:31:47,122
Or you can put your mouth
on my body.

403
00:31:48,665 --> 00:31:50,667
Don’t reject me.

404
00:31:51,626 --> 00:31:53,587
Please.

405
00:32:14,900 --> 00:32:16,943
— Rip them.
— What?

406
00:32:17,027 --> 00:32:19,488
Rip them off.

407
00:32:22,366 --> 00:32:26,912
— Rollin’ down a mountain
Slowin’ down so fast that I could smell the brakes -

408
00:32:26,995 --> 00:32:29,831
— I got scared away -

409
00:32:40,509 --> 00:32:44,429
No. From behind.
From behind.

410
00:32:55,774 --> 00:32:58,944
Do it hard.

411
00:33:06,034 --> 00:33:08,161
Harder.

412
00:33:09,246 --> 00:33:12,457
Bite my shoulder.

413
00:33:23,635 --> 00:33:28,223
— Aw.!

414
00:33:28,306 --> 00:33:30,308
— Thanks for comin’
— More.! More.!

415
00:33:32,561 --> 00:33:36,523
— All right, you guys,
it’s time to go home.

416
00:33:36,565 --> 00:33:40,360
— Get outta here.

417
00:33:45,949 --> 00:33:48,535
It’s not gonna work.
That’s a faulty argument.

418
00:33:48,577 --> 00:33:51,204
Let’s say we found an innocent on death row.
What would change?

419
00:33:51,288 --> 00:33:53,874
After the retrial, the governor
would simply go on TV…

420
00:33:53,915 --> 00:33:57,919
and say, "See? Thanks to the good people
at DeathWatch, the system works."

421
00:33:58,003 --> 00:34:00,630
Sure, if we had absolute proof
that he had executed an innocent…

422
00:34:00,714 --> 00:34:03,884
we could demand a moratorium,
like in Illinois.

423
00:34:03,967 --> 00:34:06,511
— Are you okay?
— Sorry. Yeah.

424
00:34:06,595 --> 00:34:09,306
But that won’t happen.
The dead men can’t make a case…

425
00:34:09,389 --> 00:34:11,933
— and almost-martyrs don’t count.
— Got it.

426
00:34:12,017 --> 00:34:15,228
— So, keep it rational. And stop that.
— Mm-hmm.

427
00:34:15,312 --> 00:34:18,273
— What?
— Active listening. I hate active listeners.

428
00:34:18,357 --> 00:34:21,610
I feel like they’re too busy pretending
to listen to actually hear what I’m saying.

429
00:34:21,693 --> 00:34:24,112
I can listen and actively listen
at the same time.

430
00:34:24,196 --> 00:34:26,531
— I’m good at that.
— Did you bring the Amnesty stats?

431
00:34:26,615 --> 00:34:29,409
Yes. No. Oh!
I left them at home.

432
00:34:31,662 --> 00:34:33,664
I have a copy.

433
00:34:39,044 --> 00:34:42,255
— You want to tell me what’s up?
— Nothing.

434
00:34:42,339 --> 00:34:44,341
Everything.

435
00:34:45,884 --> 00:34:50,180
Something profoundly
stupid happened last night.

436
00:34:50,263 --> 00:34:53,934
I hope you used a condom.

437
00:34:54,935 --> 00:34:58,397
Oh. Jesus Christ, David.

438
00:35:00,232 --> 00:35:04,403
— Was she one of yours?
— It was Berlin.

439
00:35:04,486 --> 00:35:09,282
Oh, great!

440
00:35:09,366 --> 00:35:12,661
Oh, that’s great.
I can hear the grapevine now.

441
00:35:12,744 --> 00:35:16,123
"They had to suspend her so that Gale
could dick her with a clear conscience."

442
00:35:16,164 --> 00:35:18,333
A power differential equals coercion.
That is great.

443
00:35:18,417 --> 00:35:21,336
— You’re so weak.
— You’re not my wife, Constance.
Thank God.

444
00:35:21,420 --> 00:35:24,423
Well, don’t worry.
It’s not a position
I aspire to, so fuck you.

445
00:35:24,506 --> 00:35:28,176
— I didn’t mean it that way.
Are you okay?
— Let’s go. Yes!

446
00:35:28,260 --> 00:35:30,637
— Really?
— Yes. Let’s go.

447
00:35:32,389 --> 00:35:35,475
There are
17,000 murders a year
in the United States.

448
00:35:35,559 --> 00:35:37,978
Ten of the 12 states
that have abolished
the death penalty…

449
00:35:38,061 --> 00:35:40,647
they have a murder rate that’s
lower than the national average.

450
00:35:40,689 --> 00:35:43,525
And if he starts with
the religious stuff, just say that…

451
00:35:43,608 --> 00:35:47,779
nearly every denomination
in the United States
opposes the death penalty.

452
00:35:47,863 --> 00:35:49,823
— Are you listening? Okay.
— Yes.

453
00:36:02,544 --> 00:36:05,339
— All right.
Ten seconds, everybody.
— Roll tape, please.

454
00:36:05,422 --> 00:36:07,507
Count ’em in, Mack.

455
00:36:09,551 --> 00:36:12,554
Here we go.
Five, four…

456
00:36:14,973 --> 00:36:20,062
Welcome back to Batter’s Box.
We continue our very special
four-part program…

457
00:36:20,145 --> 00:36:23,315
with Governor Hardin, and
arguing capital punishment with him…

458
00:36:23,398 --> 00:36:27,027
is DeathWatch regional codirector,
Professor David Gale.

459
00:36:27,110 --> 00:36:30,530
— You are up, Governor.
— You know, Alan,
I always say the same thing…

460
00:36:30,572 --> 00:36:32,991
and I’m gonna keep on sayin’ it…
I hate killin’…

461
00:36:33,075 --> 00:36:35,202
and my administration
will kill to stop it.

462
00:36:35,285 --> 00:36:40,415
— How about it?
— Murderers are not deterred
by the thought of execution.

463
00:36:40,499 --> 00:36:42,501
They’re just not,
and you know it.

464
00:36:42,584 --> 00:36:45,003
Every single study that’s
been done on this subject…
and there’s been over 200…

465
00:36:45,087 --> 00:36:48,131
and you’ve read them…
has reached the same conclusion.
They all say the same thing.

466
00:36:48,215 --> 00:36:50,175
Well, maybe you should
read your Bible.

467
00:36:50,258 --> 00:36:54,012
Deuteronomy 19:21.
An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.

468
00:36:54,096 --> 00:36:56,431
What did Gandhi say about that?

469
00:36:56,515 --> 00:37:00,435
"The old law of an eye for an eye
leaves us all blind."

470
00:37:00,519 --> 00:37:03,230
Well, I’m sorry…
and with respect…
that’s fuzzy liberal thinking.

471
00:37:03,313 --> 00:37:05,774
— You really believe that, Governor?
— Of course.

472
00:37:05,857 --> 00:37:09,027
That’s interesting. ’Cause you
said that yourself in a speech
in your first campaign.

473
00:37:09,111 --> 00:37:12,447
He got… He got you there,
Governor. How about it?

474
00:37:12,531 --> 00:37:15,367
Yes, he did.
Yes, he did.

475
00:37:15,450 --> 00:37:17,285
If you’re not a liberal at 30,
you’ve got no heart.

476
00:37:17,369 --> 00:37:19,621
And if you’re still a liberal at 40,
you’ve got no brain.

477
00:37:19,705 --> 00:37:22,082
— That’s Winston Churchill.
— Touché.

478
00:37:22,124 --> 00:37:24,710
So what you’re essentially
saying and what you feel is…

479
00:37:24,793 --> 00:37:27,546
and this is to choose another quote…
"that a healthy society…

480
00:37:27,629 --> 00:37:31,925
must stop at nothing
to cleanse itself of evil."

481
00:37:33,260 --> 00:37:36,388
Uh, yes. Uh…
I’d have to agree.

482
00:37:36,471 --> 00:37:39,474
— Did I say that too?
— Oh, no, sir. That was Hitler.

483
00:37:39,558 --> 00:37:41,935
Ooh.

484
00:37:41,977 --> 00:37:44,104
Oh!

485
00:37:44,187 --> 00:37:48,442
Can’t we just admit that
the capital punishment system
in this country is not working?

486
00:37:48,525 --> 00:37:52,779
We are condemning people to death
based on phony expert testimony…

487
00:37:52,863 --> 00:37:55,449
on junk science,
on-on jail house snitches…

488
00:37:55,532 --> 00:38:00,162
Alan, did you know that Texas
has the highest per capita
incarceration rate in the world?

489
00:38:00,245 --> 00:38:03,248
— Forty-three people
that you executed…
— Alan, could I…

490
00:38:03,332 --> 00:38:07,919
were represented by lawyers who were
at one time disbarred or sanctioned.

491
00:38:08,003 --> 00:38:10,213
There are two men on death row
right now, on this day…

492
00:38:10,297 --> 00:38:14,634
— whose lawyers fell asleep
during cross-examination.
— I’m not a lawyer.

493
00:38:14,676 --> 00:38:16,970
And the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals
ruled that that was not…

494
00:38:17,054 --> 00:38:19,348
that was not a basis for a retrial.

495
00:38:19,431 --> 00:38:22,267
Governor, that’s just a flawed,
insane, crazy system.

496
00:38:22,351 --> 00:38:25,020
And a flawed system
will kill innocent men.

497
00:38:25,103 --> 00:38:28,231
Okay, all right.
Let him answer.

498
00:38:28,315 --> 00:38:30,942
All right, Mr. Gale,
we’ll play your game. Name one.

499
00:38:31,026 --> 00:38:34,613
Name one innocent man that Texas
has put to death during my tenure…

500
00:38:34,696 --> 00:38:36,948
of the hundred or so executions…

501
00:38:37,032 --> 00:38:39,326
It’s 131, Governor,
in case you lost count.

502
00:38:39,368 --> 00:38:41,995
— Let him finish.
— Fine. Thank you. Whatever.

503
00:38:42,079 --> 00:38:45,332
Just give me a name…
I’m gonna write it down…

504
00:38:45,374 --> 00:38:47,876
a man that you can prove
was innocent…

505
00:38:47,959 --> 00:38:50,337
— There you go.

506
00:38:50,379 --> 00:38:52,381
And I’ll call a moratorium.

507
00:38:53,757 --> 00:38:56,301
Mr. Gale.

508
00:38:58,095 --> 00:39:00,639
— Are we through here, Alan?
— You know what?
We’re running out of time.

509
00:39:00,722 --> 00:39:04,643
I’d like to thank my guests,
Governor Hardin and Professor
David Gale from DeathWatch.

510
00:39:04,726 --> 00:39:08,522
— Roll credits.
— Thank you for joining me today.
Hope you will join me tomorrow.

511
00:39:11,108 --> 00:39:13,110
Your exact words were…

512
00:39:13,193 --> 00:39:15,153
"Just tell me when my ego’s
getting in the way of the work. "

513
00:39:15,237 --> 00:39:17,489
I’m telling you, your ego’s
getting in the way of the work.

514
00:39:17,572 --> 00:39:19,533
I didn’t wanna do this
in the first place.

515
00:39:19,616 --> 00:39:23,203
You put up two seconds of
protest at the thought of
being on a televised debate.

516
00:39:23,245 --> 00:39:25,372
— What does that mean?
— It means that DeathWatch
suffers because…

517
00:39:25,455 --> 00:39:28,583
you’re so anxious to finger authority,
to publicly prove that David Gale…

518
00:39:28,667 --> 00:39:31,169
is so much fucking smarter
than the powers that be!

519
00:39:31,253 --> 00:39:35,007
Learn to work without
an audience. Try squeezing
money from the donor list.

520
00:39:35,090 --> 00:39:37,050
Have you licked one single
mail-out envelope?

521
00:39:37,134 --> 00:39:40,053
— Mr. Gale?
— Hey, guys, the governor went that way.

522
00:39:40,095 --> 00:39:42,347
Ramirez… Austin Police.
This is Officer Hasermann.

523
00:39:42,431 --> 00:39:44,433
What, is debating the governor
a crime now?

524
00:39:44,516 --> 00:39:48,270
No, sir. Rape is.

525
00:39:53,859 --> 00:39:57,070
— Berlin had my bite marks.
— Gale! Time’s up.

526
00:39:59,197 --> 00:40:03,869
Bruises. Her clothes were ripped.
My skin was found under her fingernails.

527
00:40:03,952 --> 00:40:06,788
I mean, it didn’t look like anything
but rape. Then she drops the charges…

528
00:40:06,872 --> 00:40:09,041
and leaves town, making
it look like I was guilty…

529
00:40:09,124 --> 00:40:11,752
and she was too traumatized
to face a trial.

530
00:40:11,835 --> 00:40:14,755
My wife had to read
all about this while she was
sitting in the airport…

531
00:40:14,796 --> 00:40:17,632
wondering where I was,
why I wasn’t there to pick her up.

532
00:40:17,716 --> 00:40:19,926
It took me almost two weeks
to get bailed out.

533
00:40:19,968 --> 00:40:21,970
— And the grad student Berlin?

534
00:40:22,054 --> 00:40:25,223
Why do you think
she did it?

535
00:40:25,307 --> 00:40:29,227
Poke her finger at authority,
show the powers that be
how much smarter she was.

536
00:40:29,311 --> 00:40:31,980
Grad student’s revenge.
I don’t really know.

537
00:40:32,064 --> 00:40:34,066
— Do you know where I can find her?
— No.

538
00:40:34,149 --> 00:40:37,235
First year I was in here,
I got a postcard from San Francisco.

539
00:40:37,319 --> 00:40:41,239
It was signed, "From the student
who would do anything. "

540
00:40:41,323 --> 00:40:43,784
Did she say anything else?

541
00:40:43,825 --> 00:40:46,411
"I’m sorrier than you can know."

542
00:40:46,495 --> 00:40:48,789
— Move it, Gale.
— I’m running out of time.

543
00:40:55,170 --> 00:40:58,465
Can you imagine his wife letting
him stew in jail for two weeks?

544
00:40:58,507 --> 00:41:03,387
Who can blame her? We’ll get
an address for the Berlin girl
from the university.

545
00:41:03,470 --> 00:41:05,430
You still don’t think
he’s telling the truth.

546
00:41:05,514 --> 00:41:07,933
— On the Berlin rap?
— On the whole rap.

547
00:41:08,016 --> 00:41:11,353
Who knows? Anyway,
there is no truth, only perspectives.

548
00:41:11,436 --> 00:41:15,065
If you say there’s no truth,
you’re claiming
it’s true there’s no truth.

549
00:41:15,148 --> 00:41:19,236
— It’s a logical contradiction.
— Working on our Philosophy
Merit Badge, are we?

550
00:41:19,319 --> 00:41:21,989
When it comes to rape,
an accusation’s as good
as a conviction.

551
00:41:22,072 --> 00:41:25,033
— It sticks like shit.
— That’s an appetizing metaphor.

552
00:41:25,117 --> 00:41:28,120
Technically, a simile.
I think he’s telling the truth.

553
00:41:28,203 --> 00:41:30,288
This you know from sitting
in a prison lobby?

554
00:41:30,372 --> 00:41:34,626
— It’s just my perspective.
— Three different courts
found him guilty, Zack.

555
00:41:34,710 --> 00:41:37,170
That’s enough perspective for me.

556
00:42:07,242 --> 00:42:10,078
Okay, okay, okay.

557
00:42:10,162 --> 00:42:12,539
1-33-0-what?

558
00:42:12,581 --> 00:42:14,791
Seven.

559
00:42:14,875 --> 00:42:18,337
Thirty-three… oh-three.

560
00:42:18,420 --> 00:42:21,506
3305. 3307.
Right there.

561
00:42:27,095 --> 00:42:29,181
Geez. Look at the sign.

562
00:42:40,609 --> 00:42:44,237
— The stranger in your life -
— Hi.

563
00:42:44,279 --> 00:42:47,074
— I’m Bitsey Bloom.
This is Zack Stemmons.

564
00:42:47,157 --> 00:42:49,576
— We’re… Uh, yeah.
— You want the tour?

565
00:42:49,618 --> 00:42:52,746
There’s a $20 mandatory
donation… apiece.

566
00:42:52,829 --> 00:42:55,957
But you get
a reenactment photo pack,
and it’s got five pictures.

567
00:42:56,041 --> 00:42:58,877
— Okay.
— I gotta collect first.

568
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,963
Oh, sure. I got it.

569
00:43:05,509 --> 00:43:08,970
Go sign the book.
It doesn’t have to be
your real name though.

570
00:43:09,012 --> 00:43:11,932
The first page just says
you’re here to do research
on violent crime.

571
00:43:11,973 --> 00:43:14,101
The state requires it
for nonprofit shit.

572
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,313
Take a reenactment
photo pack.

573
00:43:18,397 --> 00:43:20,357
Uh, if you guys could share one,
it’d be really cool…

574
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,776
’cause the fuckers that
do my prints jerk my chain.

575
00:43:22,859 --> 00:43:25,904
That’s me.
My boyfriend took it.

576
00:43:25,988 --> 00:43:29,449
We also got a video.
It’s 50 bucks ’cause you
can see my tits.

577
00:43:29,533 --> 00:43:32,577
There’s a version
without tits. It’s 35.

578
00:43:32,661 --> 00:43:37,290
— Do many people take the tour?
— Not so much anymore.

579
00:43:37,374 --> 00:43:40,502
We thought this’d be, like,
a busy week with Gale getting
the prune juice and all.

580
00:43:40,585 --> 00:43:43,130
So you… you don’t mind
living here?

581
00:43:43,213 --> 00:43:46,341
It’s better than livin’
with my dick-wad parents.

582
00:43:46,425 --> 00:43:49,970
It starts over here.
She let him crash here sometimes.

583
00:43:50,012 --> 00:43:52,639
He was, like,
constantly wasted.

584
00:43:52,681 --> 00:43:55,809
Exhibit one.
He drank scotch religiously.

585
00:43:55,892 --> 00:43:58,520
— The rest is in the kitchen.

586
00:44:00,605 --> 00:44:04,609
Here’s number two.
This is where the tripod was.

587
00:44:04,693 --> 00:44:07,654
My boyfriend borrowed the one
we usually show to folks.

588
00:44:07,738 --> 00:44:11,533
They never found a camera
or photos or video or anything.

589
00:44:11,616 --> 00:44:13,702
Gale must have buried them.

590
00:44:13,785 --> 00:44:17,789
These serial killer dudes
take photos to whack off to later.

591
00:44:17,873 --> 00:44:21,501
He-He’s not exactly
a serial killer.

592
00:44:21,585 --> 00:44:24,379
Whatever.

593
00:44:24,463 --> 00:44:26,965
She was, like,
totally naked right here.

594
00:44:27,049 --> 00:44:29,676
The meter man saw her
through the door.

595
00:44:29,718 --> 00:44:32,512
Gale handcuffed her,
taped her mouth…

596
00:44:32,554 --> 00:44:34,681
and then taped a bag over
her head so she couldn’t breathe.

597
00:44:34,765 --> 00:44:37,726
He used those housewife gloves
so he wouldn’t leave prints.

598
00:44:37,809 --> 00:44:40,062
They found sticky stuff
from the tape on them.

599
00:44:40,145 --> 00:44:44,316
— Uh! We ask folks
not to touch the exhibit.
— Right.

600
00:44:44,399 --> 00:44:47,527
Totally sick part
is where they found
the key to the handcuffs.

601
00:44:47,569 --> 00:44:52,157
— Yeah. We know.
— Wait. What? Where was it?

602
00:44:52,240 --> 00:44:58,038
It was in her stomach, dude.
Gale made her swallow it
before he bagged her.

603
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,707
That’s pretty much
the highlights.

604
00:45:01,917 --> 00:45:03,919
Got questions?

605
00:45:11,343 --> 00:45:13,345
I can still smell
the cigarette smoke.

606
00:45:13,428 --> 00:45:17,557
It’s the barbecue.

607
00:45:17,599 --> 00:45:22,521
Can you imagine?
The key was in her stomach.

608
00:45:22,604 --> 00:45:26,024
That’s so fucking cold, man.

609
00:45:28,443 --> 00:45:30,445
— Zack?
— What?

610
00:45:30,487 --> 00:45:33,365
Isn’t that the cowboy
from the rest area?

611
00:45:36,451 --> 00:45:39,788
— The same truck.
— Weird coincidence, huh?

612
00:45:39,871 --> 00:45:42,165
Well, coincidences
are always weird.

613
00:45:42,249 --> 00:45:45,210
That’s why
they are coincidences.

614
00:45:49,297 --> 00:45:51,091
Off the record.

615
00:45:52,009 --> 00:45:55,053
Okay. We’re off.

616
00:45:55,137 --> 00:45:57,139
Constance
was murdered…

617
00:45:57,222 --> 00:46:00,475
by what’s known as
the Securitat method.

618
00:46:00,559 --> 00:46:03,061
You’re handcuffed,
forced to swallow the key.

619
00:46:03,145 --> 00:46:05,480
is sealed around your head…

620
00:46:05,564 --> 00:46:07,566
and you’re left there
to suffocate.

621
00:46:07,649 --> 00:46:10,610
The Securitat did it to Romanians
when they wouldn’t inform or confess.

622
00:46:10,694 --> 00:46:13,947
Sometimes the bag was ripped off
your head at the last moment
to give you a second chance.

623
00:46:14,031 --> 00:46:18,035
Otherwise, you died knowing
that the key to your freedom…

624
00:46:18,118 --> 00:46:20,662
was inside of you
the entire time.

625
00:46:20,746 --> 00:46:22,956
It’s a cheap
but effective method.

626
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,167
The problem is…

627
00:46:27,377 --> 00:46:30,881
I once mentioned it
in an article that I wrote.

628
00:46:32,841 --> 00:46:34,843
Prosecution never knew that.

629
00:46:36,845 --> 00:46:41,433
— Someone’s framing you?
— Oh, it’s more than that.

630
00:46:41,516 --> 00:46:44,353
— There was a tripod.
— Right.

631
00:46:45,729 --> 00:46:48,190
Facing her body.
We back on the record?

632
00:46:48,273 --> 00:46:52,986
Yes. The tripod
had no fingerprints on it.

633
00:46:53,070 --> 00:46:55,113
That means that
somebody brought it there…

634
00:46:55,197 --> 00:46:59,201
set it up,
wiped it clean and left it.

635
00:46:59,284 --> 00:47:04,289
Why? It’s as if they wanted me
to know that somewhere out there…

636
00:47:04,373 --> 00:47:07,334
is a record of exactly
what happened that afternoon…

637
00:47:07,376 --> 00:47:11,213
as if they wanted me to die knowing
that the key to my freedom…

638
00:47:11,296 --> 00:47:13,298
is out there somewhere.

639
00:47:14,883 --> 00:47:16,885
Maybe you’re being paranoid.

640
00:47:16,968 --> 00:47:20,972
Miss Bloom, I used to be the state’s
leading death penalty abolitionist…

641
00:47:21,056 --> 00:47:23,141
and now I’m on death row.

642
00:47:23,225 --> 00:47:26,436
Doesn’t that strike you
as a little odd?

643
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,481
Any idea who "they" are?

644
00:47:29,564 --> 00:47:33,193
No, but I’ve got someone
working on that…

645
00:47:33,276 --> 00:47:35,570
someone I’m relying on
to prove my innocence.

646
00:47:35,654 --> 00:47:37,739
Belyeu’s hired a detective?

647
00:47:39,199 --> 00:47:41,368
A journalist.

648
00:47:41,410 --> 00:47:43,412
She has to help me.

649
00:47:47,499 --> 00:47:50,085
— You know I’m innocent.
— No.

650
00:47:54,006 --> 00:47:57,718
— No, I don’t.

651
00:48:04,099 --> 00:48:06,768
Wear me like a fur, Daddy.
Wear me like a fur.

652
00:48:06,852 --> 00:48:11,064
Okay. Who’s your hero?
Who’s your… Ow! Ow!
You go get Cloud Dog.

653
00:48:11,148 --> 00:48:13,483
Hey! Cloud Dog!

654
00:48:15,652 --> 00:48:19,197
Call me when you land.

655
00:48:19,281 --> 00:48:22,534
— Has any couple ever survived
a trial separation?
— Don’t.

656
00:48:22,617 --> 00:48:24,911
Isn’t separating contrary
to the whole idea of trying
to work things out?

657
00:48:24,995 --> 00:48:26,788
— Don’t.
— Boo!

658
00:48:26,872 --> 00:48:29,416
Jamie, get in, sweetie.

659
00:48:31,335 --> 00:48:34,254
— See ya later, alligator.
— After a while, crocodile.

660
00:48:34,338 --> 00:48:38,759
— Take it easy, "Japaneesee."
— Okeydokey, "artichokee."

661
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:40,802
Scoot.

662
00:48:42,637 --> 00:48:45,265
— Listen…
— I sent you an E-mail.

663
00:48:46,475 --> 00:48:51,021
— An E-mail.
— Just read it.

664
00:48:54,066 --> 00:48:56,068
Jamie.

665
00:49:01,782 --> 00:49:04,242
— Come on, sweetie.

666
00:49:41,071 --> 00:49:43,824
Just read it.

667
00:49:54,835 --> 00:49:58,171
You could at least hide the bottle.

668
00:50:09,891 --> 00:50:11,560
Well?

669
00:50:12,978 --> 00:50:14,980
Officially, you’re on sabbatical.

670
00:50:17,149 --> 00:50:19,318
Unofficially,
they want you out of here.

671
00:50:19,401 --> 00:50:21,987
It was 4-2.

672
00:50:22,988 --> 00:50:25,574
How did Ross vote?

673
00:50:25,657 --> 00:50:28,368
I’m not supposed to dis…

674
00:50:30,245 --> 00:50:32,331
Against you.

675
00:50:41,006 --> 00:50:43,175
And you?

676
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:46,720
For you…

677
00:50:48,263 --> 00:50:50,223
and against my politics.

678
00:51:23,006 --> 00:51:25,133
— Yes. Mada…

679
00:51:25,217 --> 00:51:29,096
— No. M… Please, please.

680
00:51:29,179 --> 00:51:32,265
Madam. Atenc…
ˇAtención.! Attenzione.!

681
00:51:32,349 --> 00:51:35,435
Uh, I am…
My name is David Gale.

682
00:51:35,519 --> 00:51:39,564
I have phoned before.
Yes? Yes?

683
00:51:39,648 --> 00:51:41,650
— Can…

684
00:51:41,692 --> 00:51:44,903
No. Uh… Por favor.

685
00:51:48,657 --> 00:51:52,452
What? No, never mind.
Can you please get Sharon Gale?

686
00:51:52,494 --> 00:51:55,956
— Ah.! Seńora Gale.
— Ah! Yes. Miss Gale. Yes.

687
00:52:05,048 --> 00:52:09,594
— Hello? Hello?

688
00:52:24,526 --> 00:52:27,654
So I… I wanted to hear
your feedback on the idea.

689
00:52:27,738 --> 00:52:32,159
Look, Professor Gale, I could sit here…
as I’m sure others have…

690
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:36,997
and plead departmental cutbacks,
claim you need more publications…

691
00:52:37,039 --> 00:52:40,459
I need a minority… whatever.

692
00:52:40,542 --> 00:52:43,670
All bull geschichte.

693
00:52:43,712 --> 00:52:48,133
Your record’s brilliant.
You’re an original voice,
worth in today’s…

694
00:52:48,216 --> 00:52:51,386
"scarcity defines value capitalist
system under which we toil…"

695
00:52:51,470 --> 00:52:53,347
your weight in gold.

696
00:52:53,430 --> 00:52:57,017
Hell, it’s… It’s not even
your alcohol problem.

697
00:52:57,059 --> 00:53:01,813
It’d be nice to have a faculty member
whose crutch wasn’t Prozac.

698
00:53:01,897 --> 00:53:05,567
But to speak plain,
if I were to hire you…

699
00:53:05,651 --> 00:53:10,947
in the eyes of the regents,
the alumni and every freshman
with an ear for gossip…

700
00:53:11,031 --> 00:53:12,991
I’d be hiring a rapist.

701
00:53:13,075 --> 00:53:17,704
— Those charges were dropped.
— People would say
you had a good lawyer.

702
00:53:17,788 --> 00:53:22,042
— I was innocent.
— You don’t get it, do you?

703
00:53:22,125 --> 00:53:24,670
You’re not politically correct,
Dr. Gale.

704
00:53:24,753 --> 00:53:27,714
Welcome to the club.

705
00:53:30,467 --> 00:53:34,096
— Socrates is…
is sentenced to death.

706
00:53:34,179 --> 00:53:38,225
Socrates is sentenced to death.
I bet you didn’t know that.
He was sentenced to death.

707
00:53:38,308 --> 00:53:42,187
But Athenian law… Athenian law
let the condemned…

708
00:53:42,270 --> 00:53:45,440
— come up with their own
alternate punishment.

709
00:53:45,524 --> 00:53:49,820
Isn’t that a great idea?
So where are the Athenians
when you really need ’em?

710
00:53:51,613 --> 00:53:54,491
So anyway, Socrates…
And he was ugly.

711
00:53:54,574 --> 00:53:57,619
— Did I mention that? Did I
mention that Socrates was ugly?

712
00:53:57,703 --> 00:54:00,789
He was ugly.
Socrates was ugly, Plato was fat…

713
00:54:00,872 --> 00:54:04,960
and, uh, and Aristotle
was a prissy dresser.

714
00:54:05,043 --> 00:54:08,755
So anyway, Socrates
comes up with this idea.

715
00:54:08,797 --> 00:54:13,135
He says… He says, "Well, what if
I pay a fine instead of death?"

716
00:54:13,218 --> 00:54:16,888
He suggests a fine.
All he has to do in order to live…

717
00:54:16,972 --> 00:54:20,934
is to come up with
an appropriately punitive figure.

718
00:54:21,018 --> 00:54:23,020
Punitive figure.

719
00:54:23,103 --> 00:54:26,273
Guess what he suggested?
Thirty bucks.

720
00:54:27,607 --> 00:54:31,778
Thirty bucks?
Does that make any sense?

721
00:54:31,862 --> 00:54:35,282
Thirty bucks. That’s 30 mina.
That was the currency
of the day… a mina.

722
00:54:35,365 --> 00:54:37,951
Well, it’s minae.
Minae. That’s the plural.

723
00:54:38,035 --> 00:54:40,037
Minae.

724
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:44,583
Thirty bucks!
Thirty pieces of silver.

725
00:54:44,666 --> 00:54:48,462
And the judges are so pissed that
more of them voted to kill him…

726
00:54:48,503 --> 00:54:50,505
than had voted him guilty
in the first place.

727
00:54:50,589 --> 00:54:53,508
That just doesn’t make any sense.

728
00:54:53,592 --> 00:54:55,844
Thirty pieces of silver.

729
00:54:55,927 --> 00:54:59,681
Just like the Judas guy,
the Jesus kisser…

730
00:54:59,765 --> 00:55:01,683
who was also a prissy dresser.

731
00:55:44,559 --> 00:55:48,146
Without a successful completion
of an alcohol-treatment program…

732
00:55:48,230 --> 00:55:50,524
you can forget visitation.

733
00:55:50,607 --> 00:55:53,026
You’ll be lucky
to get a Christmas card.

734
00:55:53,068 --> 00:55:55,070
That’s if there even is
a custody hearing.

735
00:55:57,406 --> 00:56:01,410
— What does that mean?
— If your wife convinces
a Spanish court…

736
00:56:01,493 --> 00:56:05,747
that you’re a danger to the child,
then you’ll never see him again.

737
00:56:05,831 --> 00:56:08,792
He just has to come home.
He’s gotta come back.

738
00:56:08,875 --> 00:56:10,919
Hey, Pete, can we have
another round here.

739
00:56:13,213 --> 00:56:15,674
I’m fine.

740
00:56:19,302 --> 00:56:22,431
— I just have to go get him then.
— Europe’s not Mexico, David.

741
00:56:22,514 --> 00:56:26,101
They got real borders over there.
You might be able to get yourself
in easy enough…

742
00:56:26,184 --> 00:56:28,770
but getting out
with a six-year-old…

743
00:56:28,854 --> 00:56:32,107
That’s a whole different
kettle of crawdads.

744
00:56:32,190 --> 00:56:35,902
Then you get your life together.

745
00:56:35,986 --> 00:56:39,364
— I’m fine. I’m fine.
— Pronto.

746
00:56:48,582 --> 00:56:51,376
Who wants to start?

747
00:56:59,926 --> 00:57:03,847
Hi. My name is David, and…

748
00:57:03,930 --> 00:57:05,891
I am an alcoholic.

749
00:57:05,974 --> 00:57:07,934
Hi, David.

750
00:57:13,815 --> 00:57:17,402
So, Mr. Gale…

751
00:57:17,486 --> 00:57:20,113
tell me three
personal qualities…

752
00:57:20,197 --> 00:57:22,324
that you feel you have…

753
00:57:22,407 --> 00:57:24,785
that would make you
a successful Radio Shed manager.

754
00:57:26,745 --> 00:57:29,790
— Three.
— Three.

755
00:57:31,917 --> 00:57:35,796
Okay. Well…

756
00:58:14,710 --> 00:58:16,712
No, I’m sorry.

757
00:58:16,795 --> 00:58:18,797
I’m…

758
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:20,841
Oh, I’m sorry.

759
00:58:20,924 --> 00:58:22,843
— Welcome back.
— Thanks.

760
00:58:22,926 --> 00:58:25,971
— You look good.
— I feel good.

761
00:58:26,054 --> 00:58:30,350
Look, there’s somethin’
that you gotta see.

762
00:58:30,392 --> 00:58:32,644
Betty Sue Johnson’s
been rescheduled.

763
00:58:32,728 --> 00:58:34,688
Her execution date
is set for the eighth.

764
00:58:34,771 --> 00:58:36,773
I have a conference call
with Washington tonight.

765
00:58:36,857 --> 00:58:38,817
If the new national director
will commit to emergency funds…

766
00:58:38,900 --> 00:58:41,278
So Betty Sue gets commuted,
and you only prove the system works.

767
00:58:41,361 --> 00:58:43,322
But I’ll save a life.

768
00:58:43,405 --> 00:58:45,407
Hey, where’d you
get that bruise?

769
00:58:45,490 --> 00:58:47,993
Oh, just… doin’ chores.

770
00:58:48,076 --> 00:58:51,621
— Is your cowboy gettin’ rough with you?
— Ha ha.

771
00:58:53,915 --> 00:58:57,210
Oh, there he is.
Hey, Dusty…

772
00:58:57,294 --> 00:59:00,213
does she ever invite you overand not put you to work?

773
00:59:00,297 --> 00:59:03,258
Hey, David.

774
00:59:03,342 --> 00:59:05,385
All right.
Tell me her story.

775
00:59:05,469 --> 00:59:08,847
She was sentenced at 17.
I really wanna get behind this one.

776
00:59:08,930 --> 00:59:11,767
— She’s so articulate.
— Who did she kill?

777
00:59:11,850 --> 00:59:16,188
— She’ll put a face
on the death penalty.
— Constance, who did she kill?

778
00:59:16,229 --> 00:59:19,858
— A cop.
— Oh, you’re crazy.

779
00:59:19,941 --> 00:59:23,070
Not just your medium-range
"thinks she’s Roosevelt’s bathrobe,"

780
00:59:23,153 --> 00:59:27,324
but I mean stark-raving, screws-loose,
in-the-belfry insane.

781
00:59:27,407 --> 00:59:31,787
Seventeen… four years before
she could legally drink a beer.

782
00:59:31,870 --> 00:59:33,914
But she killed a cop, Constance.

783
00:59:33,997 --> 00:59:37,167
— Are you gonna help?
— Of course.

784
00:59:37,250 --> 00:59:39,336
Oh. You’re burnin’ up.

785
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:51,723
Jo Edna.

786
00:59:51,807 --> 00:59:55,268
— Hi, Mr. Gale.
— How are you, Jo Edna?
It’s good to see…

787
01:00:07,656 --> 01:00:09,950
— Caffeine jolt. We deliver.
— Howdy, David.

788
01:00:10,033 --> 01:00:13,537
— Howdy, folks.
— Oh, my, this is service.

789
01:00:13,620 --> 01:00:16,164
— Thank you.
— Gladly. Latte on the left
there for you, Josh.

790
01:00:16,248 --> 01:00:18,250
— Mocha.
— Ooh, thanks.

791
01:00:18,291 --> 01:00:23,130
— She’s on the phone to Washington.
— The new national director.

792
01:00:23,213 --> 01:00:26,091
— Uh-huh. That’s right.

793
01:00:26,174 --> 01:00:28,760
I’m sure we can get some pulpit time.
Maybe some cable.

794
01:00:28,844 --> 01:00:31,346
Cable’s good.
Listen, I need to run.

795
01:00:31,430 --> 01:00:34,808
For now, I agree the first
press release should focus
on the woman’s youth.

796
01:00:34,891 --> 01:00:37,519
I’ll have the Washington people
look into counsel competency…

797
01:00:37,602 --> 01:00:39,604
though I’m almost sure
she’s exhausted this on appeal.

798
01:00:39,688 --> 01:00:42,274
— Let’s see what
kind of resources these…
— Uh… John, David’s gonna go…

799
01:00:42,357 --> 01:00:45,944
Oh, I almost forgot.
Gale’s not around, is he?

800
01:00:46,028 --> 01:00:49,156
— No.
— Good. Keep it that way.

801
01:00:49,239 --> 01:00:51,158
His relationship
with DeathWatch is over.

802
01:00:51,241 --> 01:00:54,202
— Last thing we need is
this rape thing coming back…
— John.

803
01:00:54,286 --> 01:00:57,247
To bite us on the butt,
and these guys don’t stay
on the wagon for very long.

804
01:00:57,331 --> 01:01:00,584
— John.
— I’m serious, Constance.
Ban him from the premises.

805
01:01:00,667 --> 01:01:02,461
I realize the two of you both…

806
01:01:09,134 --> 01:01:11,720
— David!

807
01:01:27,235 --> 01:01:31,573
Sharon, pick up the phone.
I’m begging you.!

808
01:01:31,657 --> 01:01:35,744
He’s my son, all right?
He’s my son too,
and I wanna talk to him.

809
01:01:35,827 --> 01:01:38,288
— You’ve not let… Hello?

810
01:01:38,372 --> 01:01:43,669
Jamie? Jamie, is that you?
Hey. Hey, little moose.
How are you?

811
01:01:43,710 --> 01:01:46,380
I miss you so much.
It’s Daddy.

812
01:01:46,463 --> 01:01:50,258
Yeah. Hello. Don’t…
Jamie, wait.

813
01:01:50,342 --> 01:01:52,928
— Wait, wait. Don’t hang up the phone.

814
01:01:53,011 --> 01:01:55,597
Goddamn it! Damn!

815
01:01:55,681 --> 01:01:58,225
God… damn it!

816
01:02:03,939 --> 01:02:06,191
Ow! Fuck!

817
01:02:54,156 --> 01:02:57,534
— Oh, you scared me.

818
01:02:57,617 --> 01:03:01,913
My sheep needs a manager…
a manger.

819
01:03:01,997 --> 01:03:04,166
My sheep needs a manger.

820
01:03:05,167 --> 01:03:07,252
Are you okay?

821
01:03:08,795 --> 01:03:12,883
I fell off the wagon
and I hurt myself.

822
01:03:12,966 --> 01:03:15,052
Come on.
Come on inside.

823
01:03:20,849 --> 01:03:24,811
Do you know why Saint Jude
is the patron saint of lost causes?

824
01:03:24,853 --> 01:03:27,773
’Cause his real name was Judas.

825
01:03:27,814 --> 01:03:30,942
Judas. There were
two Judases…

826
01:03:31,026 --> 01:03:35,280
Judas, who was the saint guy,
and then the other one…

827
01:03:35,364 --> 01:03:37,616
Judas, who was the bad one.

828
01:03:37,658 --> 01:03:41,620
He’s the one that ratted out Jesus
and tried to kiss him.

829
01:03:41,662 --> 01:03:44,289
In medieval times, they would
never pray to the good Judas…

830
01:03:44,373 --> 01:03:47,751
for fear of getting the bad Judas
on the line just by mistake.

831
01:03:47,834 --> 01:03:53,757
Ergo, they never really gave him
business unless absolutely desperate.

832
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:57,678
That’s why… And then they
changed his name.

833
01:03:57,761 --> 01:04:01,014
Your mail is blowing.

834
01:04:02,015 --> 01:04:04,017
Constance.

835
01:04:09,231 --> 01:04:11,191
Hey! Hey!

836
01:04:11,274 --> 01:04:13,360
Hey! Oh, shit!

837
01:04:19,481 --> 01:04:21,900
— Are you the doctor?
What’s wrong with her?
— Yes.

838
01:04:21,984 --> 01:04:23,944
— She’s gonna be fine.
— How do you know?
You haven’t looked at her.

839
01:04:24,027 --> 01:04:27,030
— Just calm down.
— She just collapsed. She was
opening her mail and just fell.

840
01:04:27,114 --> 01:04:29,116
— Please have a seat
in the waiting room.
— I don’t know what’s wrong.

841
01:04:29,158 --> 01:04:31,493
— Please. Is there a doctor…
— She’s gonna be fine.

842
01:04:31,577 --> 01:04:33,495
— Wait here. Professor!
— I have to go with her.

843
01:04:33,779 --> 01:04:36,448
You wanna get arrested again?

844
01:04:39,368 --> 01:04:42,120
— How do you know who I am?
— I watch the news.

845
01:04:42,204 --> 01:04:44,539
Now go wait.

846
01:05:17,364 --> 01:05:19,366
Ah!

847
01:05:19,408 --> 01:05:21,410
— How are we doing?
— Fine. How’s Constance?

848
01:05:21,493 --> 01:05:26,331
Sleeping. Mr. Gale, a leukemia
patient’s condition…

849
01:05:26,415 --> 01:05:29,710
— is highly susceptible
to external stress.
— What? What?

850
01:05:29,793 --> 01:05:33,755
Constance’s illness
requires a degree of regularity.

851
01:05:37,050 --> 01:05:39,594
Constance has leukemia?

852
01:05:40,679 --> 01:05:44,224
You didn’t know?

853
01:05:44,308 --> 01:05:46,601
Wait. Wait.

854
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:53,400
No, I didn’t.

855
01:06:01,033 --> 01:06:03,368
It’s funny how selfish
we can be, isn’t it?

856
01:06:06,538 --> 01:06:09,958
When I first heard Constance
was dying, I was so mad at her.

857
01:06:12,461 --> 01:06:14,546
I thought, "How can you
do this to me?

858
01:06:14,629 --> 01:06:17,799
You know how hard it is
for me to need other people."

859
01:06:20,469 --> 01:06:22,804
Why hadn’t she told you?

860
01:06:24,139 --> 01:06:26,141
She said she was too busy.

861
01:06:28,935 --> 01:06:31,021
I guess, since death
was chasing her…

862
01:06:31,104 --> 01:06:33,982
she just wanted
to help other people avoid it.

863
01:06:35,609 --> 01:06:40,572
That’s what she did with her life.

864
01:06:43,075 --> 01:06:45,786
Constance…

865
01:06:45,577 --> 01:06:48,580
left this world a better place
than she found it.

866
01:06:50,707 --> 01:06:55,045
It’s a small…
but difficult thing.

867
01:07:21,029 --> 01:07:25,325
— Good shot! Good shot!

868
01:07:35,836 --> 01:07:38,338
— Geez.
— Let’s go.

869
01:07:38,422 --> 01:07:41,758
— So, what’d you get?
— I talked to the Austin prosecutor.

870
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:44,594
Belyeu’s a joke. Actually,
the exact phrase he used was…

871
01:07:44,678 --> 01:07:46,680
"Big hat, no cattle."

872
01:07:46,763 --> 01:07:50,225
— He was sanctioned twice.
Fucked up the penalty phase.
— What?

873
01:07:50,309 --> 01:07:53,145
Gale could’ve got life
on mitigating factors.

874
01:07:53,228 --> 01:07:56,940
And despite major pro bono
offers from some of the top
lawyers in the country…

875
01:07:57,024 --> 01:07:59,026
Gale stuck with him all through
the appeals process…

876
01:07:59,109 --> 01:08:01,945
which, by the way,
Belyeu continued to screw up.

877
01:08:01,987 --> 01:08:05,032
So Belyeu’s a joke.

878
01:08:05,115 --> 01:08:07,784
Great.

879
01:08:07,868 --> 01:08:09,911
— Anything else?
— Nothing on Berlin.

880
01:08:09,995 --> 01:08:12,164
Oh, we pick up the payola money
in Houston tonight.

881
01:08:12,247 --> 01:08:15,417
— Houston?
— That’s what the head office said.

882
01:08:15,459 --> 01:08:19,004
— Overheat light
came on twice. Um…
— Come on.

883
01:08:41,485 --> 01:08:45,489
— Ah!

884
01:08:45,572 --> 01:08:48,617
Oh, man! I never knew a million bucks
could weigh so much.

885
01:08:48,700 --> 01:08:51,328
— Half a million.
— Well, it’s still heavy.

886
01:08:51,370 --> 01:08:53,372
But a million sounds
better for our st…

887
01:08:53,455 --> 01:08:56,166
Excuse me. Your story.
A million bucks.

888
01:08:56,249 --> 01:08:58,460
No, no. Wait.
A million bucks in cash.

889
01:08:58,502 --> 01:09:01,755
Just relax, Zack.
It’s only money.

890
01:09:08,971 --> 01:09:11,014
So, you comin’ in?

891
01:09:12,766 --> 01:09:16,561
— Excuse me?
— You wanna come in?

892
01:09:18,188 --> 01:09:21,274
— Please.
— I thought you were
into guys with money.

893
01:09:25,445 --> 01:09:28,991
— Zack? It’s open.
— What?

894
01:09:29,032 --> 01:09:31,827
— Well, maybe the maid forgot.

895
01:09:34,496 --> 01:09:37,582
— Look.

896
01:09:42,212 --> 01:09:44,297
Well…
We gotta call somebody.

897
01:09:48,260 --> 01:09:50,304
Wait.

898
01:10:01,565 --> 01:10:03,984
— What is that?
— I don’t know.

899
01:10:20,167 --> 01:10:22,711
This is not good.

900
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:38,894
— I’m gonna
check the bathroom.
— No, no. Bitsey, no.

901
01:10:38,935 --> 01:10:40,937
You wait there.

902
01:11:19,434 --> 01:11:22,813
— Bitsey!
— What? Zack,
There could’ve been prints.

903
01:11:22,896 --> 01:11:24,898
Look.

904
01:11:42,958 --> 01:11:46,003
The lady at reception says
that no one asked for you.
All the room keys are different.

905
01:11:46,086 --> 01:11:48,463
— Just she and her husband have masters.
— What’d you tell her?

906
01:11:48,505 --> 01:11:51,967
— That you have
a jealous boyfriend.
— Thanks. How about the V.C.R.?

907
01:11:52,050 --> 01:11:55,387
She didn’t ask. I think
she assumed it had something
to do with why he was jealous.

908
01:11:55,470 --> 01:11:57,806
— You sure we shouldn’t
call the cops?
— No.

909
01:11:57,848 --> 01:12:00,350
Anyway, whoever got in here
without a key in broad daylight…

910
01:12:00,434 --> 01:12:02,436
was probably smart enough
not to leave prints.

911
01:12:02,519 --> 01:12:05,314
I have the remote. Here.

912
01:12:05,355 --> 01:12:08,150
— Are you sure you wanna see
what’s on here?
— No.

913
01:12:09,860 --> 01:12:11,903
— Try three.
— Three.

914
01:12:11,987 --> 01:12:14,781
I hope this isn’t
what I think it is.

915
01:12:22,039 --> 01:12:24,291
Oh, my God.

916
01:12:25,876 --> 01:12:29,338
— Is it her?
— Yeah, it’s her.

917
01:12:38,889 --> 01:12:41,725
— Oh, man.

918
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:45,479
Geez.

919
01:13:20,764 --> 01:13:23,767
Belyeu said to bring the tape
first thing tomorrow.

920
01:13:25,602 --> 01:13:28,480
He also said you were right
about not calling the police.

921
01:13:34,569 --> 01:13:36,571
You gonna be all right?

922
01:13:39,533 --> 01:13:41,660
No.

923
01:14:01,930 --> 01:14:05,183
He deserves it though, probably.
There’s a lot of sick people
in this world.

924
01:14:05,267 --> 01:14:07,269
And if they done wrong
and they’re found guilty…

925
01:14:07,311 --> 01:14:09,813
All right. Let’s just say
Gale’s telling the truth.

926
01:14:09,855 --> 01:14:13,025
Maybe some right-wing fuck set him up,
arranged the perfect murder.

927
01:14:13,108 --> 01:14:16,820
Why would you send
a magazine journalist proof
a few hours before you’ve won?

928
01:14:16,862 --> 01:14:20,866
— It does not make sense.
— No. It’s perfect.

929
01:14:20,949 --> 01:14:24,286
Whoever this is knows how
hard it is to get a retrial in Texas.

930
01:14:24,328 --> 01:14:28,290
They know the magazine can’t
give this any substantial play
before the execution.

931
01:14:28,332 --> 01:14:32,085
We’d have to give it to a daily
or a network. That won’t happen.

932
01:14:32,169 --> 01:14:36,757
— But mostly, they know
I’ll tell Gale today.
— So?

933
01:14:38,717 --> 01:14:42,179
What if Constance’s murder was
just a means of getting at Gale…

934
01:14:42,220 --> 01:14:45,390
not only to get rid of him,
but to make abolishionists look crazy?

935
01:14:45,474 --> 01:14:47,684
Of course he sympathizes
with murderers. He is one.

936
01:14:47,768 --> 01:14:50,812
They make sure he sits
six years on death row…

937
01:14:50,854 --> 01:14:53,565
for a brutal rape and murder,
then they let him die…

938
01:14:53,649 --> 01:14:56,401
die knowing everyone will
remember him with disgust.

939
01:14:56,485 --> 01:14:58,779
They destroy his life,
his work, his memory…

940
01:14:58,862 --> 01:15:03,408
— and they make him watch.
— That’s a lot of hate.

941
01:15:05,285 --> 01:15:09,414
— Well, then why release it?
— Hate’s no fun if you
keep it to yourself.

942
01:15:27,057 --> 01:15:29,476
Whoa. We got company.

943
01:15:29,559 --> 01:15:32,020
— The cowboy?
— Mm-hmm.

944
01:15:32,062 --> 01:15:34,815
And doing a lousy job
of hiding.

945
01:15:35,816 --> 01:15:38,318
Oh, he must think
we’re idiots.

946
01:15:38,402 --> 01:15:41,029
— Is he gaining?
— No. He’s just sitting back there.

947
01:15:41,071 --> 01:15:43,699
Get a license plate number.

948
01:15:45,909 --> 01:15:49,830
— Ohh. He’s turned off.
— God, I’m sorry.

949
01:15:49,913 --> 01:15:52,582
What does this guy want?

950
01:15:56,420 --> 01:15:59,840
Fine. And, uh, Bobbi,
could you make a quick copy
of that videotape…

951
01:15:59,923 --> 01:16:02,342
and bring in Miss Bloom’s
original when that’s done?

952
01:16:04,094 --> 01:16:07,347
— I don’t blame you for
not watching that twice.
— I couldn’t sleep afterwards.

953
01:16:07,431 --> 01:16:11,226
I understand. I tell folks I’m no more
afraid of the Grim Reaper…

954
01:16:11,268 --> 01:16:14,396
than I am of a Presbyterian
on Mother’s Day, but, uh…

955
01:16:14,438 --> 01:16:16,523
watching that tape, well, uh…

956
01:16:16,606 --> 01:16:20,527
I had to keep
telling myself that’s not
Constance just to get through.

957
01:16:20,610 --> 01:16:23,113
Unfortunately,
others may argue the same.

958
01:16:23,196 --> 01:16:27,034
But it’s in her kitchen,
in her house.

959
01:16:27,117 --> 01:16:30,287
Currently home to
Weirdos, Incorporated.

960
01:16:30,329 --> 01:16:35,250
Arguably, that tape could have
been made by anybody with $20
and a tolerance for vulgarity.

961
01:16:35,292 --> 01:16:38,086
— Will it get us
a postponement?
— Us?

962
01:16:38,128 --> 01:16:42,132
This ain’t my first rodeo, Miss Bloom.

963
01:16:42,215 --> 01:16:45,469
Now, I got to tell you that
there’s a machine a-runnin’

964
01:16:45,552 --> 01:16:49,014
And come tomorrow night at 6:00,
that machine gonna wanna be fed.

965
01:16:49,097 --> 01:16:51,850
— All here, Mr. Belyeu.
— Thank you, Aaron.

966
01:16:51,933 --> 01:16:56,355
Now, to add to our troubles,
your own credibility
may come into question.

967
01:16:56,438 --> 01:16:59,691
— Why?
— Well, you’ve been fraternizing
with the condemned.

968
01:16:59,775 --> 01:17:04,237
— I’ve been what?
— He’s the most likely candidate
to have put you onto that tape.

969
01:17:04,321 --> 01:17:08,533
He’s a persuasive man,
you an out-of-state woman.
That don’t look so good.

970
01:17:08,617 --> 01:17:11,953
Mr. Belyeu, someone
put the tape in my room.

971
01:17:11,995 --> 01:17:13,997
That’s a fact for which
we have no evidence.

972
01:17:14,081 --> 01:17:17,417
— Thank you, Bobbi.
— Thanks.

973
01:17:17,501 --> 01:17:21,672
Let’s not throw a pity party
and sit around reading Kafka.

974
01:17:21,755 --> 01:17:24,383
Could be we find
a sympathetic judge.

975
01:17:24,466 --> 01:17:27,678
— I’ll file within the hour.
You goin’ over to see Gale?
— Yeah.

976
01:17:27,761 --> 01:17:31,223
Fine. I’ll give you
a call over to the motel
later with an update.

977
01:17:45,862 --> 01:17:48,365
My coat. Shoot.

978
01:18:07,050 --> 01:18:09,970
— What? Who?
— Did you see him? The cowboy.

979
01:18:10,053 --> 01:18:11,680
— He was here?
— He’s in the lobby.

980
01:18:11,722 --> 01:18:14,766
Go see if his truck’s out front.
Tail him, get a license number.

981
01:18:14,850 --> 01:18:17,477
Find out who he is.
Don’t screw this up. It’s important.

982
01:18:17,561 --> 01:18:20,063
— How are you gonna get to the prison?
— Taxi.

983
01:19:04,024 --> 01:19:06,568
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

984
01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:13,450
I don’t think you’re
being straight with me.
I walk out of Belyeu’s office…

985
01:19:13,533 --> 01:19:15,702
— the guy’s in the lobby.
— Maybe you should just calm down.

986
01:19:15,786 --> 01:19:17,996
Visitor, please stay seated.

987
01:19:19,790 --> 01:19:21,750
Maybe you should sit down.

988
01:19:28,006 --> 01:19:32,678
His name is Dusty Wright.
He’s the local DeathWatch
director before Constance.

989
01:19:32,761 --> 01:19:34,930
He’s a bullhorner.

990
01:19:34,972 --> 01:19:40,811
He’s a zealot who thinks
that a good demonstration has
to end with riots and arrests.

991
01:19:40,852 --> 01:19:43,522
DeathWatch fired him because
he punched somebody at a rally.

992
01:19:43,605 --> 01:19:47,150
But Constance kept him in
the organization. He adored her.

993
01:19:47,234 --> 01:19:50,821
They were close.
Real close.

994
01:19:51,947 --> 01:19:53,865
He testified at my trial.

995
01:19:53,949 --> 01:19:57,703
Testified to support you
or to oppose the death penalty?

996
01:19:57,786 --> 01:20:00,080
He testified against me.

997
01:20:00,163 --> 01:20:03,208
— Against you?
— He testified about the drinking.

998
01:20:03,291 --> 01:20:06,378
Alcohol is a mitigating factor
in capital cases.

999
01:20:07,796 --> 01:20:10,382
I always told myself that
he did it in some sick way…

1000
01:20:10,465 --> 01:20:12,759
to try to help me
get a reduced sentenced.

1001
01:20:14,594 --> 01:20:16,596
I guess he believes
I really killed her.

1002
01:20:17,681 --> 01:20:19,933
Dusty’s a man easily
blinded by hatred.

1003
01:20:22,519 --> 01:20:24,771
Maybe he hated you because
you were seeing Constance.

1004
01:20:24,855 --> 01:20:27,232
I wasn’t seeing Constance.

1005
01:20:27,316 --> 01:20:29,109
She had your semen inside her.

1006
01:20:29,192 --> 01:20:32,195
I know. Look, it’s just… It’s
a little more complicated than that.

1007
01:20:35,324 --> 01:20:37,326
Respect for life means every life.!

1008
01:20:37,409 --> 01:20:39,786
Respect for life
means every life.!

1009
01:20:39,870 --> 01:20:42,622
Respect for life
means every life!

1010
01:20:42,706 --> 01:20:46,335
Respect for life means every life!
Respect for life means every life!

1011
01:20:46,376 --> 01:20:48,503
Respect for life
means every life!

1012
01:20:59,348 --> 01:21:01,975
When you kill someone,
you rob their family.

1013
01:21:02,059 --> 01:21:05,520
Not just of a loved one
but of their humanity.

1014
01:21:05,562 --> 01:21:08,106
You harden their hearts with hate.

1015
01:21:08,190 --> 01:21:11,610
You take away their capacity
for civilized dispassion.

1016
01:21:11,693 --> 01:21:15,238
You condemn them
to blood lust.

1017
01:21:15,322 --> 01:21:18,492
It’s a cruel
and horrible thing.

1018
01:21:18,575 --> 01:21:22,913
— But indulging that hate
will never help.

1019
01:21:22,996 --> 01:21:25,290
The damage is done.

1020
01:21:25,374 --> 01:21:28,710
And once we’ve had our pound of flesh,
we’re still hungry.

1021
01:21:28,752 --> 01:21:30,712
We leave the death house muttering…

1022
01:21:30,754 --> 01:21:34,174
that lethal injection
was just too good for them.

1023
01:21:34,257 --> 01:21:36,176
In the end,
a civilized society…

1024
01:21:36,259 --> 01:21:39,221
must live with a hard truth.

1025
01:21:39,304 --> 01:21:42,808
He who seeks revenge
digs two graves.

1026
01:21:42,891 --> 01:21:45,519
They’re bringing
Betty Sue’s people out.

1027
01:21:47,437 --> 01:21:49,398
Thank you, Dusty.

1028
01:22:04,621 --> 01:22:07,499
Just look.
Look at those losers.

1029
01:22:07,582 --> 01:22:11,169
Rednecks, ghetto hustlers,
drug addicts, schizophrenics.

1030
01:22:11,253 --> 01:22:13,588
They’re murderers,
and who cares if they die?

1031
01:22:13,630 --> 01:22:19,553
Who cares if the cycle, if it just
goes on and on and on and on?

1032
01:22:19,636 --> 01:22:21,596
Who cares?

1033
01:22:23,724 --> 01:22:25,726
Who cares?

1034
01:22:39,489 --> 01:22:42,326
Hey, did you make it
to your meeting today?

1035
01:22:42,367 --> 01:22:47,122
Yeah. I think I have to
find one less guru-like.

1036
01:22:48,665 --> 01:22:52,252
— Did you take your, uh, medicine?
— Mm-hmm.

1037
01:22:52,336 --> 01:22:54,671
Feel better?

1038
01:22:55,881 --> 01:22:59,968
— Mm-hmm.

1039
01:23:01,887 --> 01:23:05,641
You know those stages
of Kubler-Ross?

1040
01:23:05,682 --> 01:23:07,809
The ones the dying go through?

1041
01:23:08,852 --> 01:23:12,022
Um, anger…

1042
01:23:13,148 --> 01:23:15,651
denial…

1043
01:23:15,692 --> 01:23:17,819
bargaining…

1044
01:23:17,861 --> 01:23:20,405
uh…

1045
01:23:20,489 --> 01:23:23,200
— Depression.
— Depression, acceptance.

1046
01:23:23,241 --> 01:23:25,202
— Which one are you?
— Denial.

1047
01:23:25,285 --> 01:23:28,121
Well, denial’s good.
That’s a… That’s a good one.

1048
01:23:28,205 --> 01:23:33,335
— The whole idea of there being
a process makes me tired.

1049
01:23:33,377 --> 01:23:36,463
I’m not up to the job
of dying person…

1050
01:23:36,546 --> 01:23:38,924
marveling at blades of grass…

1051
01:23:39,007 --> 01:23:41,969
lecturing strangers
to relish every moment.

1052
01:23:43,053 --> 01:23:45,472
— Mending bridges.
— Mending bridges.

1053
01:23:45,555 --> 01:23:48,350
— Confessing regret. Ohh.

1054
01:23:48,392 --> 01:23:51,269
— Oh, what, no regrets?
— Nope.

1055
01:23:52,604 --> 01:23:54,815
Wow.

1056
01:23:56,608 --> 01:23:58,610
I take that back.

1057
01:24:00,028 --> 01:24:03,365
— I wish I’d had a child.
— Yeah, so do I.

1058
01:24:03,407 --> 01:24:05,409
— I’m sorry, David.
— No.

1059
01:24:09,079 --> 01:24:12,582
I guess I just wish
I had risked more.

1060
01:24:14,251 --> 01:24:18,046
Oh, and not enough sex.
Should have had more sex.

1061
01:24:18,088 --> 01:24:20,799
— Really?
— Mm.

1062
01:24:23,593 --> 01:24:28,640
Well, how… How many
lovers did you have?

1063
01:24:28,724 --> 01:24:32,102
— Including college?
— Including college.

1064
01:24:41,778 --> 01:24:46,742
Well, sex is really… You know,
it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.

1065
01:24:46,783 --> 01:24:50,078
— It’s so overrated.

1066
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:52,414
— You should have had more sex.
— Mm-hmm.

1067
01:24:55,208 --> 01:24:58,211
You work so hard not to be
seen as a sex object.

1068
01:25:00,172 --> 01:25:02,424
Before long,
you’re not seen at all.

1069
01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:06,762
Hey.

1070
01:25:07,763 --> 01:25:09,765
I see you.

1071
01:25:15,812 --> 01:25:19,066
— You want to make it five?

1072
01:25:19,149 --> 01:25:23,236
— Complete the hand.
— What, a pity lay?

1073
01:25:24,905 --> 01:25:28,158
— No, thanks.
— Hey.

1074
01:25:33,330 --> 01:25:35,916
It wouldn’t be pity.

1075
01:25:54,935 --> 01:25:57,688
— Are you okay?
— Yeah. Don’t worry.

1076
01:25:57,729 --> 01:25:59,856
No, it’s good.

1077
01:25:59,940 --> 01:26:02,401
Just talk to me.
Let me hear your voice.

1078
01:26:02,484 --> 01:26:06,530
— I’m here. I’m here.
— Okay. Just hold me tight.

1079
01:26:07,698 --> 01:26:10,158
Just tight. I’m so scared.

1080
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:12,452
— Okay. I’m sorry.
— No. Don’t stop.

1081
01:26:12,536 --> 01:26:14,454
— Just…
— Okay.

1082
01:26:14,538 --> 01:26:17,499
Stay with me, please.
Please stay with me.

1083
01:26:17,541 --> 01:26:21,503
— I’m not going anywhere.
— I just need to feel you inside.

1084
01:26:21,545 --> 01:26:23,505
I’m right here.

1085
01:26:23,547 --> 01:26:25,966
I’m so tired.

1086
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:32,639
I’m so tired
of being so afraid.

1087
01:26:34,391 --> 01:26:39,896
— I’m right here.
— Help me. Help me, please. Just…

1088
01:26:39,980 --> 01:26:42,733
— Just make it go away.
— Okay. Okay.

1089
01:26:42,816 --> 01:26:47,487
— Make it go away.
— Okay. I’m right here.

1090
01:26:49,323 --> 01:26:51,325
I’m not going anywhere.

1091
01:28:30,007 --> 01:28:33,218
— Can I help you?
— Oh. No. I’m leaving.

1092
01:28:33,302 --> 01:28:35,304
I-I’m sorry. Thanks.

1093
01:29:49,211 --> 01:29:51,296
It was Dusty.

1094
01:29:51,380 --> 01:29:54,466
He had a motive.
He knew you both.
He visited that morning.

1095
01:29:54,549 --> 01:29:57,552
If I could answer that for sure…

1096
01:29:57,594 --> 01:30:00,514
we wouldn’t be having
this conversation.

1097
01:30:00,597 --> 01:30:03,684
It’s what I need you for.
That’s why I chose you.

1098
01:30:03,767 --> 01:30:07,604
— Now I’ve told you everything.
— But I still don’t know.

1099
01:30:07,688 --> 01:30:10,983
— I need more time.
— You’ll find time.

1100
01:30:11,066 --> 01:30:13,151
You should have
done this earlier.

1101
01:30:13,235 --> 01:30:15,946
You’re not here to save me.

1102
01:30:16,029 --> 01:30:18,949
You’re here to save
my son’s memory of his father.

1103
01:30:20,784 --> 01:30:22,953
That’s all I want.

1104
01:30:24,955 --> 01:30:26,873
You’re gonna
let them kill you.

1105
01:30:26,957 --> 01:30:30,419
Bitsey, we spend our whole lives
trying to stop death.

1106
01:30:31,628 --> 01:30:35,841
Eating, inventing,
loving, praying…

1107
01:30:36,842 --> 01:30:40,387
fighting, killing.

1108
01:30:41,638 --> 01:30:44,182
But what do we really
know about death?

1109
01:30:44,266 --> 01:30:46,351
Just that nobody comes back.

1110
01:30:48,061 --> 01:30:50,063
But there comes
a point in life…

1111
01:30:51,148 --> 01:30:53,150
a moment…

1112
01:30:53,233 --> 01:30:56,737
when your mind
outlives its desires…

1113
01:30:58,071 --> 01:31:00,073
its obsessions…

1114
01:31:01,325 --> 01:31:04,161
when your habits…

1115
01:31:04,202 --> 01:31:06,204
survive your dreams…

1116
01:31:09,166 --> 01:31:11,835
and when your losses…

1117
01:31:17,883 --> 01:31:19,926
Maybe death is a gift.

1118
01:31:22,137 --> 01:31:26,808
— You wonder.
— That’s it. Let’s go, Gale.

1119
01:31:31,938 --> 01:31:35,525
All I can tell you is that by
this time tomorrow I’ll be dead.

1120
01:31:36,860 --> 01:31:38,820
I know when.

1121
01:31:39,946 --> 01:31:41,948
I just can’t say why.

1122
01:31:44,034 --> 01:31:46,703
You have 24 hours to find out.

1123
01:31:52,751 --> 01:31:55,170
Good-bye, Bitsey.

1124
01:32:49,975 --> 01:32:51,977
— Ms. Bloom?
— Yeah.

1125
01:32:53,812 --> 01:32:56,565
Thought I’d return your coat.
Gettin’ kinda chilly.

1126
01:32:56,606 --> 01:33:00,736
— Any news from
our video intruder friend?
— No. Any word on the appeal?

1127
01:33:00,777 --> 01:33:03,822
Denied. Tape went to a federal judge
two hours ago.

1128
01:33:03,905 --> 01:33:06,867
Now what you got
was definitely a snippet.

1129
01:33:06,950 --> 01:33:10,162
Could be your video supplier friend
has more nasty previews scheduled.

1130
01:33:10,245 --> 01:33:13,707
Best you not get into too much
sightseeing right now.

1131
01:33:13,790 --> 01:33:16,543
Just stick close
to your motel room.

1132
01:33:19,254 --> 01:33:23,425
— How’s David?
— He’s holding up.
Gonna be a hard night.

1133
01:33:23,467 --> 01:33:27,888
Will you tell him
I’ll take care of it?
About his son, I mean.

1134
01:33:27,971 --> 01:33:30,932
I’ll do that.
You stayin’ for the execution?

1135
01:33:33,769 --> 01:33:36,063
Then I’ll see you tomorrow.
Watch yourselves.

1136
01:33:37,064 --> 01:33:38,899
Mr. Belyeu?

1137
01:33:40,484 --> 01:33:42,819
Were Dusty Wright
and Constance close?

1138
01:33:42,903 --> 01:33:46,031
Oh, yeah.
Thick as thieves, those two.

1139
01:33:46,114 --> 01:33:50,911
— Lovers?
— Whoa. You plowin’ a little too
close to the cotton, Bitsey.

1140
01:33:50,994 --> 01:33:55,123
That was just a rumor.
Nothing more. Night-night.

1141
01:36:57,431 --> 01:36:59,516
Zack, wake up.

1142
01:36:59,599 --> 01:37:01,518
— Did you throw the towel on the floor?
— What?

1143
01:37:01,601 --> 01:37:04,229
This towel was
on my bathroom floor.
Did you throw it there?

1144
01:37:04,313 --> 01:37:06,273
Yeah, I guess.
What, it’s a motel.

1145
01:37:06,356 --> 01:37:08,275
— Would you do that at home?
— No.

1146
01:37:08,358 --> 01:37:11,194
Jesus, Bitsey,
it’s not like we’re staying
in the friggin’ Four Seasons.

1147
01:37:11,278 --> 01:37:14,281
Come on. Get the TV.
We’re taking it with us.

1148
01:37:14,364 --> 01:37:16,283
Taking it with us?
What are you talking about?

1149
01:37:16,366 --> 01:37:18,702
— Where we going?
— Austin.

1150
01:37:18,744 --> 01:37:20,912
— Get the TV.
— All right.

1151
01:37:25,459 --> 01:37:27,461
Come on.

1152
01:37:49,441 --> 01:37:52,527
— Wanna make a hundred bucks?
— A hundred bucks? What do I gotta do?

1153
01:37:52,569 --> 01:37:54,655
We’re going over
the crime scene.

1154
01:37:54,738 --> 01:37:56,698
Put the TV on the bed, Zack.

1155
01:37:59,951 --> 01:38:04,498
Now, for the next hour,
I want you to do exactly
what I say when I say to do it.

1156
01:38:04,581 --> 01:38:06,500
If I say jump, you jump.

1157
01:38:06,583 --> 01:38:08,710
— You want me to jump?
— That’s just a figure of speech.

1158
01:38:08,752 --> 01:38:11,713
— Your boyfriend put the tripod back.
— He’s not my boyfriend anymore.

1159
01:38:11,755 --> 01:38:13,799
— Do you still have a video camera?
— Yeah.

1160
01:38:13,882 --> 01:38:15,801
— Good. Get it.
— I gotta collect first.

1161
01:38:15,884 --> 01:38:18,178
Zack, give her the money.

1162
01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:29,356
Can you move that stuff
off the counter for me?
By the lamp? Yeah.

1163
01:38:29,439 --> 01:38:32,442
Yeah. Thanks.

1164
01:38:36,613 --> 01:38:40,200
— Put the gloves on the dish rack.
— I don’t have a dish rack.

1165
01:38:40,283 --> 01:38:43,120
— Zack, could you…
— Yeah.

1166
01:38:48,041 --> 01:38:50,043
Turn them inside out.

1167
01:38:52,796 --> 01:38:55,090
And put-put the duct tape
on the floor.

1168
01:38:56,550 --> 01:38:58,427
By the stove.

1169
01:39:00,721 --> 01:39:02,639
Okay.

1170
01:39:02,723 --> 01:39:06,893
— Now. Could you…
What’s your name?
— Nico’s fine.

1171
01:39:06,977 --> 01:39:12,065
Nico, I want you to lie down
facing the counter.

1172
01:39:13,608 --> 01:39:15,902
We can imagine that part.

1173
01:39:20,490 --> 01:39:23,493
— Zack, put her in position.
— Okay.

1174
01:39:25,662 --> 01:39:28,540
All right. Move…
Just move this way.

1175
01:39:28,624 --> 01:39:32,252
— All right.
— Yeah, forward.
Forward. There.

1176
01:39:32,336 --> 01:39:35,631
Okay. On her side. Right.

1177
01:39:35,672 --> 01:39:40,385
Her top leg out a little. There.

1178
01:39:42,679 --> 01:39:45,307
Okay. Now, look at this.

1179
01:39:50,646 --> 01:39:54,441
She moves her foot.
I noticed this back at the motel.

1180
01:39:54,524 --> 01:39:59,738
She moves her foot quite deliberately,
and then she’s still.

1181
01:39:59,821 --> 01:40:02,991
For another 15 seconds she’s still.

1182
01:40:03,033 --> 01:40:06,328
And then she starts to struggle.
Now that doesn’t make sense.

1183
01:40:06,370 --> 01:40:10,499
If this was a murder, she’d just
be struggling and then be still.
She’d be dead.

1184
01:40:10,582 --> 01:40:14,294
Maybe she was faking,
hoping he’d go away.

1185
01:40:16,338 --> 01:40:18,340
Or…

1186
01:40:21,301 --> 01:40:24,930
— We’ve got to bag her.
— We’re going a little bit too far here.

1187
01:40:27,808 --> 01:40:29,810
Okay.

1188
01:40:32,980 --> 01:40:35,899
— I’ll do it.
— Uh…

1189
01:40:37,150 --> 01:40:39,069
Uh-huh.

1190
01:40:39,152 --> 01:40:41,154
Uh-huh.

1191
01:40:42,489 --> 01:40:45,701
Well, thank you, Bobbi.
Thank you.

1192
01:40:58,088 --> 01:41:00,507
Supreme Court death clerk
gave the go-ahead.

1193
01:41:09,766 --> 01:41:12,561
Give the keys to Zack
and stand over there by the tripod.

1194
01:41:12,602 --> 01:41:14,938
I want you to wait three minutes
before you take the bag off.

1195
01:41:14,980 --> 01:41:17,274
I’m really not so sure about this.
It’s way too dangerous.

1196
01:41:17,357 --> 01:41:20,610
Three full minutes, Zack.
Stand over there with her.

1197
01:41:20,694 --> 01:41:23,238
And keep your eyes
on your watch.

1198
01:41:53,894 --> 01:41:57,522
Go ahead.

1199
01:41:57,606 --> 01:42:00,567
— Twenty-two seconds…
— She shouldn’t be doin’ this.

1200
01:42:20,504 --> 01:42:22,881
Oh, my God.

1201
01:42:28,261 --> 01:42:30,138
This isn’t cool!

1202
01:42:32,265 --> 01:42:34,601
— Bitsey?

1203
01:42:34,685 --> 01:42:37,938
No more experiments, all right?
Just tell me what’s going on.

1204
01:42:38,021 --> 01:42:40,857
— Are you okay?
— She did it herself.

1205
01:42:40,941 --> 01:42:43,568
Ohh.

1206
01:42:43,652 --> 01:42:46,863
She did it herself. Ohh.

1207
01:43:10,220 --> 01:43:13,682
She used the gloves to keep
her fingerprints off the tape and bag.

1208
01:43:13,724 --> 01:43:15,684
Then she put them
back on the disk rack…

1209
01:43:15,726 --> 01:43:19,354
but upside-down and inside-out,
a housewife’s habit.

1210
01:43:19,438 --> 01:43:22,399
Now, a murderer would have
just tossed them aside…

1211
01:43:22,482 --> 01:43:26,611
— like you do with a towel
in a crap motel.
— Maybe. All right, maybe.

1212
01:43:26,695 --> 01:43:31,533
— But why wear these?
— Well, they threw me.
But she needed them.

1213
01:43:31,575 --> 01:43:34,369
She knew that she would
instinctively try to rip the bag off.

1214
01:43:34,411 --> 01:43:36,747
And she swallowed the key
so she couldn’t get to it.

1215
01:43:36,830 --> 01:43:39,041
She made sure there
was no way out.

1216
01:43:39,124 --> 01:43:42,002
Why not hang yourself
or take pills?

1217
01:43:42,085 --> 01:43:45,380
— Why take your clothes off?
Why make it look like a murder?
— I don’t know.

1218
01:43:45,422 --> 01:43:47,466
It’s so calculated.

1219
01:43:47,549 --> 01:43:50,469
She’s handcuffed,
taped at the mouth,
the gloves, the tripod…

1220
01:43:50,552 --> 01:43:54,473
Why, Bitsey,
why fake your own murder?
It doesn’t make sense.

1221
01:43:54,556 --> 01:43:58,060
The woman’s
a bleeding-heart abolitionist.
Why frame an innocent man?

1222
01:43:58,101 --> 01:43:59,895
— Why send Gale
to the chair for what…
— What?

1223
01:43:59,936 --> 01:44:03,023
She had to know some
innocent jerk would take the fall.

1224
01:44:04,399 --> 01:44:08,612
Oh, my God, Zack.
That’s it.

1225
01:44:09,696 --> 01:44:11,865
That’s why.
To prove it happens.

1226
01:44:11,948 --> 01:44:15,869
— To have absolute proof that
the system convicts innocents.
— Get out of here.

1227
01:44:15,952 --> 01:44:18,664
No. That’s how she thought.

1228
01:44:18,747 --> 01:44:21,291
Come on, think about it.
This woman lived for DeathWatch.

1229
01:44:21,375 --> 01:44:24,503
If she’s gonna die anyway,
why not die for it?

1230
01:44:24,586 --> 01:44:28,924
That’s why the tripod was here,
to record proof, undeniable proof.

1231
01:44:28,966 --> 01:44:31,802
— That’s why we got the video.
— So a dead woman put
the tape in your room?

1232
01:44:31,885 --> 01:44:34,221
No, of course not.
I mean, she needed help.

1233
01:44:34,304 --> 01:44:39,309
Someone to keep it, release it.
Someone dedicated to the cause.

1234
01:44:39,393 --> 01:44:42,562
Someone she could trust.

1235
01:45:24,271 --> 01:45:27,607
What a dump.
The guy’s a freak.

1236
01:45:29,693 --> 01:45:31,695
Come on.

1237
01:45:48,629 --> 01:45:52,758
Dusty’s a bullhorner, a zealot
who’s O.D.’d on too many good causes.

1238
01:45:52,841 --> 01:45:55,302
You know, the original plan
was probably for Dusty…

1239
01:45:55,385 --> 01:45:57,763
to release the tape
after Gale’s conviction.

1240
01:45:57,846 --> 01:45:59,765
You know, after a year or so.

1241
01:45:59,848 --> 01:46:02,476
It’d force him to dry out,
give him back his dignity.

1242
01:46:03,810 --> 01:46:07,105
So Dusty Wright is sitting
on this tape, waiting.

1243
01:46:07,189 --> 01:46:10,317
And he’s the only one
who knows about it.

1244
01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:12,986
So good ol’ Dusty starts to think
that an erroneous execution…

1245
01:46:13,070 --> 01:46:15,447
is a lot more politically useful
than a last-minute save.

1246
01:46:15,530 --> 01:46:18,617
Because a last-minute save would
only prove the system works.

1247
01:46:18,700 --> 01:46:21,370
Almost-martyrs don’t count.

1248
01:46:21,453 --> 01:46:25,999
Dusty’s thinking, what’s one murder
if it stops thousands?

1249
01:46:26,083 --> 01:46:29,878
So he’ll release the whole tape
only after the execution.

1250
01:46:33,924 --> 01:46:35,926
Which means he must have
the original somewhere.

1251
01:46:37,344 --> 01:46:40,430
— What time is it?
— It’s 4:50.

1252
01:46:40,514 --> 01:46:42,516
Oh, Bitsey, Jesus!

1253
01:47:07,791 --> 01:47:10,711
I wanna talk about your tape.

1254
01:47:10,794 --> 01:47:14,339
No. Meet me down the hill
at the gas station in 15 minutes.

1255
01:47:14,423 --> 01:47:16,591
Zack!

1256
01:47:17,634 --> 01:47:19,303
Don’t move from the phone.

1257
01:47:19,386 --> 01:47:22,097
Call the second you see his pickup.
Let it ring just once.

1258
01:47:22,139 --> 01:47:24,308
— Then get into the woods.
— I know. Go.

1259
01:47:24,391 --> 01:47:26,977
— Into the woods, Zack.
— Go!

1260
01:47:49,833 --> 01:47:53,086
Details of Gale’s last meal
were released today.

1261
01:47:53,170 --> 01:47:55,464
And they included pancakes
with maple syrup…

1262
01:47:55,505 --> 01:47:59,176
All executions in the state of Texas
take place at 6:00 p.m.

1263
01:47:59,259 --> 01:48:02,804
— Four pancakes. Maple syrup.
— Four pancakes. Maple syrup.

1264
01:48:02,846 --> 01:48:07,684
— Fresh strawberries.
— After completion of last words,
the injection is administered.

1265
01:48:07,768 --> 01:48:10,479
— Fresh strawberries… large.
— Fresh strawberries… large.
— Fresh strawberries.

1266
01:48:10,520 --> 01:48:12,856
Sodium penthonal
for sedation purposes…

1267
01:48:12,939 --> 01:48:15,692
— Reddi-wip whipped cream.
— Puts you to sleep.
— Reddi-wip whipped cream.

1268
01:48:15,776 --> 01:48:17,778
— Pancuronium bromide…
— Chocolate shavings…

1269
01:48:17,861 --> 01:48:19,988
— extra chocolate.
— To collapse the diaphragm and lungs.

1270
01:48:20,030 --> 01:48:22,324
Potassium chloride
to stop the heart.

1271
01:48:22,366 --> 01:48:25,327
— Chocolate shavings, extra chocolate.
— And chocolate shavings.

1272
01:48:25,369 --> 01:48:27,663
The whole cocktail
costs the state of Texas…

1273
01:48:27,704 --> 01:48:32,125
approximately $86.08
per elimination.

1274
01:50:20,233 --> 01:50:23,195
— What do you miss most? Food.
— Food.

1275
01:50:30,327 --> 01:50:32,996
— Talk to her in horse talk?
— No.

1276
01:50:34,623 --> 01:50:36,625
Damn.

1277
01:50:53,183 --> 01:50:55,143
Damn!

1278
01:50:56,186 --> 01:50:58,146
Come on, cowboy,
where are you?

1279
01:50:58,188 --> 01:51:02,025
8:30 p.m. We checked
the next hotel on the list.

1280
01:51:06,530 --> 01:51:09,616
— Come on.

1281
01:51:09,700 --> 01:51:11,827
Shit!

1282
01:51:40,522 --> 01:51:42,691
It’s ready?

1283
01:53:10,654 --> 01:53:14,116
— Fuck!
— He didn’t show up! Come on!

1284
01:53:16,994 --> 01:53:19,913
Please, Bitsy, come on.

1285
01:53:47,107 --> 01:53:49,026
Call everyone, Zack.

1286
01:53:49,109 --> 01:53:52,404
The governor, the warden,
New York, the goddamn
Supreme Court death clerk.

1287
01:53:52,487 --> 01:53:55,115
— How far is it?
— You’ve got eight minutes, maybe more.

1288
01:53:55,198 --> 01:53:57,618
— We’ll make it. We’ll make it.
— You can do it.

1289
01:53:57,701 --> 01:53:59,661
Go! Go! Go!

1290
01:54:10,213 --> 01:54:12,174
Shower. Go.

1291
01:54:26,480 --> 01:54:28,482
My God.

1292
01:54:30,067 --> 01:54:33,362
— Give me the time.
— On that big pile-up on I-35…

1293
01:54:33,403 --> 01:54:35,197
Give me the goddamn time.

1294
01:54:54,424 --> 01:54:58,637
Oh, no. Not now.
Not fucking now.

1295
01:55:24,037 --> 01:55:25,789
Shit! Shit! Shit!

1296
01:55:30,294 --> 01:55:32,629
Come on. Fuck. Fuck!

1297
01:56:08,123 --> 01:56:11,293
— Stop executions.

1298
01:56:17,257 --> 01:56:19,509
Hey, get the fuck off
my spot, all right?

1299
01:56:23,305 --> 01:56:25,098
Thank you.

1300
01:56:25,182 --> 01:56:27,309
— How tight are you?
— I got your two buttons.

1301
01:56:27,351 --> 01:56:30,103
Testing one, two…

1302
01:56:30,187 --> 01:56:33,315
— How’s my, uh, light?
— A little shine right there.

1303
01:56:33,357 --> 01:56:37,027
— I think he’s doing
Larry King Live at 8:00.
— Oh. Can I smile?

1304
01:56:37,110 --> 01:56:39,196
Opinion polls conducted
over the weekend show…

1305
01:56:39,279 --> 01:56:42,908
that 66% of all Americans are
in favor of the death penalty.

1306
01:56:42,991 --> 01:56:45,243
Maybe you can get a shot
of the protesters.

1307
01:56:45,327 --> 01:56:48,205
You can see over here that
the people are represented…

1308
01:56:48,288 --> 01:56:52,542
— by 50% pro, 50% anti-death.

1309
01:56:52,626 --> 01:56:56,380
Hiddee-hiddee-hiddee-ho.!
Time for David Gale to go.!

1310
01:57:00,550 --> 01:57:03,512
When Caine killed Abel,
God cast him out. He didn’t kill him.

1311
01:57:03,553 --> 01:57:08,183
He raped and killed that poor girl.
As far as I’m concerned,
he should die for it.

1312
01:57:10,852 --> 01:57:13,730
Hiddee-hiddee-hiddee-ho.!

1313
01:57:13,814 --> 01:57:16,858
— Murderers!
— Time for David Gale to go.

1314
01:57:22,489 --> 01:57:25,826
They said on TV that he raped
her first and then he strangled her.

1315
01:57:25,909 --> 01:57:29,288
— I think he deserves to die.
— They stick that thing in
his arm and he goes to sleep.

1316
01:57:29,371 --> 01:57:31,623
If you ask me, they ought to use
a goddamn pickax.

1317
01:57:55,939 --> 01:58:00,027
— You’re the murderer!
— He should die.

1318
01:58:03,113 --> 01:58:06,074
A little-bitty pin prick.

1319
01:58:07,409 --> 01:58:11,788
The state of Texas
has executed David Gale.

1320
01:58:12,873 --> 01:58:16,835
He was pronounced dead
at 6:12 p.m.

1321
01:58:16,918 --> 01:58:18,879
Strapped to the gurney at 6:02.

1322
01:58:18,962 --> 01:58:22,299
— David Gale was officially
pronounced dead…
— at 6:12 this evening.

1323
01:58:22,382 --> 01:58:26,345
— Texas has executed David…
— Gale was pronounced dead at 6:12.

1324
01:58:26,428 --> 01:58:30,349
Death was pronounced at 6:12 this
evening at the prison in Huntsville.

1325
01:58:33,352 --> 01:58:35,854
Since none of the victim’s relatives
was in attendance…

1326
01:58:35,937 --> 01:58:38,815
there will be no statement
from the victim’s family.

1327
01:59:18,021 --> 01:59:22,484
Here’s what we know so far.
Last night, NEWS Magazine
posted on their web site…

1328
01:59:22,526 --> 01:59:25,112
a video obtained
by reporter Bitsey Bloom.

1329
01:59:25,195 --> 01:59:28,782
— The footage appears to show…
— Constance Harraway committing suicide.

1330
01:59:28,865 --> 01:59:32,661
Bloom reports that she received
the tape Friday morning in
a motel in Huntsville…

1331
01:59:32,703 --> 01:59:36,039
where she was staying while
conducting Gale’s last interview.

1332
01:59:41,211 --> 01:59:44,006
Apparently, the tape has
been in the possession…

1333
01:59:44,047 --> 01:59:47,884
of former DeathWatch employee
Dustin Emil Wright.

1334
01:59:50,345 --> 01:59:53,140
As you can see, police have been
in and out of his cabin all morning…

1335
01:59:53,223 --> 01:59:55,434
looking for clues
to his whereabouts.

1336
01:59:55,517 --> 01:59:59,813
— Since his 1994 conviction…
— On death row awaiting execution.

1337
01:59:59,896 --> 02:00:04,067
Blacks and Latinos are
five times more likely to face
the death penalty than whites.

1338
02:00:04,151 --> 02:00:06,528
A fanatic in the movement
to stop the death penalty.

1339
02:00:06,570 --> 02:00:09,614
— It’s all there?
— Actively seeking a Dustin Wright.

1340
02:00:09,698 --> 02:00:13,827
— A Dustin Wright.
— It appears Wright
withheld a tape to make…

1341
02:00:13,910 --> 02:00:17,873
a political point
about the potential for error
in capital punishment cases.

1342
02:00:17,914 --> 02:00:21,293
Passport and ticket as well.

1343
02:00:21,376 --> 02:00:23,462
Dana, what
everyone here is asking…

1344
02:00:23,545 --> 02:00:25,881
It’s a terrible tragedy,
and there will be a full investigation.

1345
02:00:25,922 --> 02:00:29,593
And I assure you this man
Dusty Wright will be caught
and shown swift justice.

1346
02:00:29,676 --> 02:00:33,055
— Justice for Christ’s sake!
— The people of Texas are not deterred.

1347
02:00:33,096 --> 02:00:36,183
We’re still solidly behind
the death penalty because it works.

1348
02:00:36,266 --> 02:00:40,187
The system cannot be blamed
for the acts of one deranged
individual with an ax to grind.

1349
02:00:40,270 --> 02:00:42,773
And people have been put to death
in the name of this justice.!

1350
02:00:42,856 --> 02:00:46,276
Let’s not throw the baby out
with the bath water, folks.

1351
02:00:51,281 --> 02:00:54,284
Of course, the ultimate irony
is that David Gale…

1352
02:00:54,368 --> 02:00:56,536
The man who became
an unwitting martyr…

1353
02:00:56,620 --> 02:00:58,705
May achieve in death
what he worked for…

1354
02:00:58,789 --> 02:01:00,749
But could not
accomplish in life.

1355
02:01:00,791 --> 02:01:04,002
This is A.J. Roberts reporting
from Bastrop, Texas.

1356
02:01:31,238 --> 02:01:33,907
— Gracias.
— De nada.

1357
02:02:05,230 --> 02:02:07,232
This just came.

1358
02:02:36,845 --> 02:02:38,972
— Is it David’s?
— Sí.

1359
02:03:30,107 --> 02:03:33,360
"Key to your freedom." What?

1360
02:04:29,750 --> 02:04:32,169
It’s over.

1361
02:05:45,993 --> 02:05:49,371
— Now there is a line -

1362
02:05:49,413 --> 02:05:54,960
— In Genesis nine
After the flood -

1363
02:05:55,043 --> 02:05:57,671
— Kill men who
shed the blood -

1364
02:05:57,754 --> 02:06:00,590
— Sharp is your needle -

1365
02:06:00,632 --> 02:06:03,093
— Revenge is evil -

1366
02:06:03,135 --> 02:06:05,846
— Wrong or right -

1367
02:06:08,890 --> 02:06:11,643
— Blind is the justice -

1368
02:06:11,727 --> 02:06:14,104
— Cool as a Judas kiss -

1369
02:06:14,146 --> 02:06:17,357
— Dark as the night -

1370
02:06:20,027 --> 02:06:22,613
— Dead men swollen on the bed -

1371
02:06:22,696 --> 02:06:25,407
— White crosses
hangin’ overhead -

1372
02:06:25,449 --> 02:06:27,951
— Deep is the final breath -

1373
02:06:28,035 --> 02:06:30,996
— Long is a man’s death -

1374
02:06:31,079 --> 02:06:33,665
— Dead men swollen on the bed -

1375
02:06:33,749 --> 02:06:36,585
— White crosses
hangin’ overhead -

1376
02:06:36,627 --> 02:06:39,129
— Deep is the final breath -

1377
02:06:39,212 --> 02:06:41,798
— Long is a man’s death -

1378
02:06:41,882 --> 02:06:46,928
— Thou shalt kill
Cried from Calvary’s hill -

1379
02:06:46,970 --> 02:06:52,809
— A soul is a soul
as we slaughter our own -

1380
02:06:52,851 --> 02:06:57,689
— Locked in a cage
and guns at our heads -

1381
02:06:57,773 --> 02:07:00,484
— Singin’gospel in rage -

1382
02:07:00,567 --> 02:07:03,487
— Sayin’they’re
better off dead -

1383
02:07:03,528 --> 02:07:06,615
— One prick of the skin -

1384
02:07:06,657 --> 02:07:09,326
— Wipes away sin -

1385
02:07:09,409 --> 02:07:11,662
— An eye for an eye -

1386
02:07:11,745 --> 02:07:14,081
— It’s our hearts
we’re losin’ -

1387
02:07:14,164 --> 02:07:18,043
— — Ohh -
— — Dead men swollen on the bed -

1388
02:07:18,126 --> 02:07:20,837
— White crosses
hangin’ overhead -

1389
02:07:20,921 --> 02:07:23,340
— Deep is the final breath -

1390
02:07:23,382 --> 02:07:26,468
— Long is a man’s death -

1391
02:07:26,551 --> 02:07:29,137
— Dead men swollen on the bed -

1392
02:07:29,179 --> 02:07:31,890

hangin’ overhead -

1393
02:07:31,974 --> 02:07:34,351

02:07:34,393 --> 02:07:37,437

1395
02:07:37,521 --> 02:07:42,067
