Show: Oz - 1x4

{387}{538}Capital P {591}{742}Original Airdate: July 28, 1997 {2937}{3025}In America we all have certain inalienable rights, {3074}{3164}like the right to bear arms|and the right to remain silent.
{3218}{3284}But the state has the ultimate right.
{3294}{3332}It can kill us.
{3395}{3512}Due to popular demand,|Governor James Devlin revived capital punishment {3577}{3672}and he decided Jefferson Keane,|a man he doesn't know, {3673}{3730}a man he will never even meet, {3751}{3799}should be put to death.
{3805}{3883}Should be put down like a rabid dog.
{3937}{4003}The mood in this country has changed.
{4004}{4072}People are sick of crime,|sick of being afraid.
{4073}{4131}They need a sign that something is being done.
{4142}{4227}Even, Governor, if it's been proven that execution has been shown {4228}{4287}to have no effect on the increase or decrease in crime whatsoever?
{4288}{4424}Especially if it has no effect.|These murders are random, senseless.
{4425}{4488}Maybe the punishment should be too.
{4490}{4620}Jefferson Keane will be the first person executed by this state in 34 years.
{4621}{4710}He's the first because he snapped the neck of another inmate.
{4711}{4764}He's the first because he deserves to die.
{4765}{4851}Jefferson Keane is the first because he's black and he is young.
{4852}{4949}The public is not gonna feel safe if we execute a 70 year old white guy.
{4950}{5006}You're not gonna turn this into a racial thing with me, are you?
{5007}{5070}Oh, please.|Has anybody thought about all the protestors {5071}{5166}we're gonna have outside, marching around, yelling slogans?
{5167}{5313}And the counter-protestors yelling at them?|Yeah, and we'll have even less parking spaces.
{5465}{5519}The protestors aren't gonna be a problem.
{5520}{5608}I want you to know that when those protestors come {5609}{5741}I'm standing with them.|I can't have an employee of mine out there at a vigil, {5754}{5868}holding a candle in front of a camera.|The last time I looked we had freedom of speech {5869}{5981}and freedom of assembly in this country.|Or did you guys eliminate those rights too?
{5982}{6088}The Governor's been biting my ass,|saying he's gonna make more budgets cuts.
{6089}{6175}And he means it, up to and including your job.
{6229}{6270}Is this a threat?
{6284}{6404}I've got a job, Leo, I've got a permanent vocation.
{6405}{6478}I can go teach fifth grade kids at the cathedral school.
{6479}{6546}I can go be a missionary in Pago Pago.
{6599}{6678}Don't join the protestors.|And if I do?
{6708}{6744}You're fired.
{6998}{7055}That's fine.
{7328}{7398}I'll send you a postcard from Pago Pago.
{7447}{7543}Hey, Markstrom, man, what if Keane didn't kill Martinez, huh?
{7557}{7604}Look, what if they got the wrong man?
{7605}{7662}He did it, Kenny.|Look, I know he did it.
{7663}{7745}I'm saying what if he didn't do it?|I don't understand.
{7746}{7834}All I'm saying, Nino, is,|makes you think what the guy's doing, {7835}{7940}what the guy's thinking,|sitting on death row knowing he's gonna die.
{7941}{8062}The only difference between you and him, Joey,|is he knows the exact date he'll die.
{8085}{8220}So the state's gonna let Keane choose which way he's gonna go out.|Me, I'd take hanging.
{8238}{8319}What about lethal injection?|That's for pussies.
{8320}{8397}They say that lethal injection causes no pain.
{8399}{8440}How do they know?
{8445}{8522}Did someone come back from the dead|and say they didn't feel anything?
{8577}{8641}Did you hear?|Sister Peter Marie got fired?
{8642}{8670}I know.
{8671}{8768}I was her assistant.|She got fired because she's against the death penalty.
{8796}{8855}So am I.|Me too.
{8856}{8936}Were you around when the last person in the state was executed?
{8937}{9012}I was the last person in the state executed.
{10210}{10293}So you're saying your life was saved by the '65 blackout?
{10294}{10367}All the electricity in five states, gone.
{10390}{10454}To this day they don't know if the shortage kept me alive {10455}{10518}or if I caused the power to go out.
{10553}{10628}And you had no aftereffects?|Sure.
{10629}{10721}That's when I first met God.|He shook my hand, smiled, and said, {10722}{10788}"Bob, play the oboe."
{10789}{10840}The oboe?|The oboe.
{10841}{10889}And do you?|What?
{10890}{10946}Play the oboe.|No.
{10956}{11012}I don't have the lips for it.
{11228}{11263}Gonna share?
{11309}{11344}Hey, lawboy.
{11364}{11484}I thought Schillinger said you couldn't get high anymore.|Yeah.
Fuck him.
{11518}{11565}You go over my appeal?
{11621}{11711}Ryan, I told you, I was in litigation, not criminal law.
{11728}{11774}I got no chance, huh?
{11777}{11872}Considering the number of eyewitnesses, no.
{11897}{11927}Fuck it.
{11933}{12014}Least I'm not getting the juice like that scumfuck Keane.
{12015}{12141}He shoulda just let the Latinos take him out.|That's the reason why they were there.
{12164}{12205}What do you mean?
{12250}{12332}The Latinos were in the gym to kill Keane?|Never mind.
{12333}{12413}Are you saying he was set up?|Never mind, Beecher.
{12414}{12525}No, no, if it was self defense, he shouldn't be executed.|Fuck that!
{12526}{12592}Don't make trouble or you'll be next.
{12816}{12848}Excuse me.
{12857}{12932}I'd like to get a fax copy of the transcript {12933}{12991}from the Jefferson Keane trial.
{13087}{13150}Bitcher!
Get your ass over here.
{13385}{13416}Yes, sir?
{13424}{13487}My laundry's not gonna wash itself.
{13710}{13828}Sir, have you heard anything about Jefferson Keane being set up?
{13849}{13880}Oh, yeah.
{13896}{13962}Yeah, the hacks made him a gladiator.
{13974}{14041}Even got the whole thing on videotape.
{14048}{14118}Wouldn't you love to see that?|Yeah.
{14134}{14234}If we can get a hold of that videotape, he wouldn't be executed.
{14252}{14305}What are you talking about?
{14323}{14398}Another nigger's going down.|I'm glad.
{14399}{14475}But...|But, but what?
{14594}{14630}Nothing, sir.
{14686}{14748}Ah.
Don't forget, a little starch.
{14754}{14784}So I'll go to McManus, {14785}{14838}tell him what might have happened in the gym, {14839}{14897}get him to investigate.|You can't.
{14930}{14960}Why not?
{14965}{15045}You say anything they'll kill you.|They who?
{15063}{15093}Exactly.
{15105}{15141}Hey, Beecher.
{15145}{15220}Sorry I got a little testy before.|That's ok.
{15261}{15304}You wanna get high?
{15306}{15367}Uh, no, thanks, not right now.
{15387}{15469}I'm kinda trying to keep my head clean.|Later.
{15599}{15705}What I should do is represent Keane and appeal his murder conviction.
{15721}{15746}You?
{15758}{15832}I'm a lawyer.|The state disbarred you.
{15850}{15930}The state can't take away what I do, who I am.
{15940}{15983}I can help the man.
{16028}{16108}He killed Martinez in self defense.|He shouldn't die.
{16122}{16213}You need to talk to Keane himself,|find out what really went on that day.
{16238}{16316}I know, but getting into death row isn't easy.
{16331}{16367}I have a way.
{16484}{16555}I'm in fear for my life.|From who?
{16597}{16632}I can't say.
{16642}{16736}You know I can't say.|I need you to put me in protective custody.
{16737}{16822}You can't be going in and out of protective custody whenever you want.
{16835}{16920}It should be used only in extreme cases.|Well, this is.
{16921}{17033}The next time you ask for protection, I may say no.|I'll take that risk.
{17552}{17579}Keane?
{17673}{17700}Keane?
{17782}{17809}Keane?
{17859}{17895}Who wants me?
{17905}{17960}Beecher.
Tobias Beecher.
{17990}{18069}I need to talk to you about your trial.|I read your transcript.
{18070}{18157}You weren't very cooperative with your attornies.|I killed Martinez.
{18176}{18262}Why didn't you tell the lawyers that you were set up?
{18281}{18386}Look, Johnny Post killed Dino Ortolani because I told him to.
{18425}{18499}Now, the wiseguys know that.|Now they want me dead.
{18509}{18595}If they kill me, one of my homeboy's gonna kill them.
{18610}{18709}And they'll kill another one of my boys.|And on and on and on.
{18754}{18852}My death can bring an end to that.|Not necessarily.
{18865}{18984}Look, if I die I feel like I might go to heaven now.
{19007}{19057}If I go back to Em City, {19062}{19164}I might go back to my old ways.|I may lose my faith, my soul.
{19245}{19305}I'm at peace right now, Beecher.
{19324}{19466}Please don't take that from me.|Look, I'm not responsible for your soul, {19500}{19590}but as a lawyer, I am responsible for justice.
{19657}{19772}I don't need your cooperation to file an appeal on your behalf.|Beecher, please, don't.
{19792}{19877}It's something I have to do.|We gotta get a hold of that tape.
{19924}{20005}It's got the fight between Keane and the Latinos.
{20016}{20075}What are the chances of one of the hacks giving it up?
{20098}{20173}The video would implicate him in the murder.
{20190}{20259}Well, do what you can, Bob.
{20277}{20309}Sure.
{20379}{20416}There you are.
{20458}{20495}Oh, yeah, hey.
{20535}{20656}Why didn't you go with the PC?|I just needed some time alone.
{20744}{20813}What are you doing here?|Working on Ryan O'Reily's appeal.
{20836}{20864}Really.
{20886}{21041}Thought you said that was useless.|Well, yeah,but he asked me to take another stab at it {21058}{21104}so I figured I would.
{21106}{21179}You wouldn't be bullshitting me, would you?
{21229}{21277}You wanna take a break?
{21439}{21507}You wouldn't be on something else?|No, sir.
{21668}{21733}Argent versus the state of Texas.
{21734}{21796}This is about a stay of execution.
{21855}{21921}Since when is O'Reily being executed?
{22000}{22034}Eat it.
{22054}{22080}What?
{22113}{22151}Eat the page.
{22171}{22194}No.
{22234}{22311}Do not fuck with me, prag.|Eat it!
{22637}{22693}Hey, Bob.|Yes?
{22709}{22790}I understand you've been asking a lot of questions|about a certain videotape.
{22914}{22976}Well...|Said videotape does not exist.
{23009}{23042}Oh, really?
{23060}{23134}You don't believe me?|No.
Why should I?
{23243}{23349}Maybe a couple of days in the hole will help clarify reality for you.
{23384}{23467}Heard you talked to Keane even though I said don't.
{23490}{23515}Yep.
{23528}{23574}That took some balls.
{23587}{23653}Starting to grow some balls, Beecher?
{23719}{23850}I had balls a long, long time ago.
{23917}{24013}And I thought I could get 'em back by saving Jefferson Keane.
{24085}{24236}But the lawyer in me got stretched out on the rack {24277}{24338}and hung by the neck until dead.
{24516}{24557}You got any dope?
{24583}{24645}What you need, pal, is an upgrade.
{24671}{24727}What you need is some heroin.
{24776}{24807}Go ahead.
{24873}{24945}You swat at a fly,|step on an ant, {24946}{24989}squash a cockroach, {24998}{25051}you don't think much of it.
{25052}{25145}In fact,|killing a bug gives you a sense of accomplishment.
{25168}{25294}Fucking ant was ruining your picnic,|cockroach was crawling through your kitchen cabinets.
{25312}{25355}You put an end to their disgusting, {25356}{25462}miserable little lives and make a better world for everyone.
{25486}{25541}Only,|for every one you kill, {25542}{25577}more appear.
{25586}{25705}Bigger, uglier, meaner than before.
{25766}{25847}As a man of color, I am outraged by that verdict.
{25876}{25995}As a Muslim, I have to be concerned with Tisi Oso's soul.|Tisi Oso?
{25996}{26042}Since the conversion, {26043}{26131}that's the name that Jefferson Keane chose for himself.
{26138}{26215}And so you want to serve as his minister?|As his Imam.
{26269}{26317}You have any objection?
{26319}{26342}No.
{26371}{26402}OK, then.
{26417}{26457}Here's the deal.
{26483}{26565}You can go see Keane on death row and talk to him, {26567}{26628}but only about spiritual matters.
{26636}{26741}If I get wind of him or you or any of the brothers stirring up shit, {26753}{26803}I will give him a rabbi.
{27442}{27510}As the day of execution draws near, tension grows, {27511}{27648}both outside the walls of Oswald Maximum Security Penitentiary and inside, {27659}{27754}where the debate on the death penalty is no less fierce.
{27755}{27874}I don't believe in murder,|first degree, abortion, or by jury decree.
{27875}{27946}It's all murder!|Lethal injection?
{27947}{28003}What's wrong with the good old electric chair?
{28004}{28075}Jefferson Keane will die tomorrow in this prison.
{28076}{28170}In light of the historical, moral, and political nature of this event, {28171}{28307}we might lose sight of the human factors involved.|We spoke today with Cornelius Keane, {28308}{28420}the inmate's father, and Helen Martinez,|mother of the murder victim.
{28421}{28533}You teach a boy right from wrong and then you just hope,|just hope for the best.
{28561}{28627}I want him dead!
{28662}{28740}I want him in the ground, dead.
{28772}{28818}Dead!
Dead!
{28923}{29024}Jefferson Keane's sister's in kidney failure.|They think she'll die.
{29043}{29091}Oh, this is just great.
{29139}{29219}Well, life just keeps getting better and better.
{29246}{29311}I fucked this up from the get ready.
{29350}{29445}Ortolani's dead 'cause of me and Keane's gonna join him.
{29516}{29617}You think you're responsible for that bad boy being on death row?
{29776}{29858}Timmy, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, {29870}{29922}you are one fucked up guy.
{30105}{30237}Well, does that mean we're not going to the play tonight?|Doctor!
We need you.
{30742}{30818}Hey, some say there are five stages of death.
{30827}{30978}Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally, acceptance.
{31082}{31117}The moment when you say to yourself, {31141}{31204}"I'm gonna die and there ain't shit I can do about it."
{31219}{31344}Oh, yeah, in Oz we know all about that.
{31369}{31425}We know all about acceptance.
{31448}{31495}Look at your jig hair.
{31510}{31571}Come on, let me braid it for you.
{31584}{31629}Nah.
It's all right.
{31654}{31759}Come on, I'll make your hair look so nice they won't wanna kill you.
{31817}{31858}Come on, come on.
{32149}{32201}I saw Pop on TV yesterday.
{32222}{32248}Yeah?
{32262}{32364}Talking about you, talking about our family.
{32466}{32531}Sorry I ain't who you want me to be.
{32569}{32612}I like being queer.
{32864}{32907}I love you, Billie.
{32923}{32963}Allah loves you.
{32991}{33028}But Dad don't.
{33123}{33155}Jefferson.
{33170}{33220}I'm sorry, Tisi.
{33251}{33299}I've got some bad news.
{33307}{33390}Your sister, Grace, is in the hospital.
{33410}{33448}Kidney failure.
{33478}{33556}The doctors think that she'll probably die soon {33561}{33617}unless she gets a transplant.
{33631}{33705}But organs are scarce.|Why don't you take one of mine?
{33718}{33786}Not like I'm gonna use 'em much longer.
{33817}{33884}Make that happen, McManus.|I'll try.
{33885}{33958}No, you do more than try.|Make it happen.
{34016}{34054}Make it happen!
{34538}{34596}Governor says no.|He won't grant a stay.
{34660}{34729}Even that little prick Devlin can't be that heartless.
{34741}{34841}He says Keane is too dangerous to be released to a hospital.|He's changed.
{34904}{34975}This conversion of his could be bullshit.
{35021}{35091}Talk to him, Leo.|It's real.
{35117}{35180}We gotta fight for this one.|How?
{35207}{35298}We go public we stoke the protestors and piss Devlin off.
{35311}{35375}Devlin thinks he's God.|Yeah.
{35417}{35469}Maybe it's time we got some help from the real one.
{35470}{35547}You want me to call the Cardinal to intercede?
{35588}{35701}Yes.|Tim, Cardinal Apgard is more conservative than Jesse Helms {35702}{35784}and Bill Buckley all rolled into one.
{35822}{35936}He once gave a speech where he justified|the torture of the Holy Inquisition.
{35957}{36024}That's fucked up.|Even so, you gotta make the call.
{36071}{36134}You make the call.|What, Ray, are you afraid?
{36158}{36219}No, of course not.|Then?
{36346}{36421}Why do you think that I work here, huh, Tim?
{36440}{36538}I went to the Pontifical Gregorian University in the Vatican.
{36539}{36660}I was in the top of my class.|I was the Cardinal's great yellow hope, {36695}{36791}until I started working in his office|and I asked a few too many questions.
{36792}{36858}I had a few too many opinions.
{36896}{37006}I defied him, instead if deifying him.
{37071}{37184}So his Excellency decided to punish me by sending me to Oz, {37220}{37270}to extinguish my career.
{37278}{37393}So Jefferson Keane's sister|dies because you and the Cardinal had a tiff?
{37429}{37502}I didn't say I wouldn't make the call.|I'll make the call.
{37510}{37582}I'm just warning you, it probably won't...
{37651}{37691}...
do any good.
{37803}{37849}Sorry to disturb you.
{37956}{38017}You've come about the transplant.
{38019}{38100}Governor James Devlin,|under pressure from religious leaders {38101}{38182}including Sheik Zahir Farar and Cardinal Apgard, {38194}{38286}is granting a 30 day stay of execution to Jefferson Keane, {38301}{38428}the man convicted of killing another inmate|at Oswald Maximum Security Penitentiary.
{38441}{38506}Keane will be donating a kidney to an ailing sister.
{38516}{38597}He is expected to go into surgery sometime today.
{38599}{38691}The Governor was quick to point out|that all medical costs are being covered {38692}{38773}by the family's own insurance.|Clemency.
{38774}{38831}That's a fancy word for mercy.
{38845}{38928}You see, the Governor can commute a death sentence.
{38931}{39018}He has the power to just pick up the phone and say no.
{39038}{39134}But to me, the only time the Governor shows clemency, {39161}{39221}is when he don't make that call.
{39243}{39378}'Cause life in prison without parole is a shitload worse than death.
{39419}{39459}Death is parole.
{39478}{39556}Death is the real mercy.
{39569}{39599}King me.
{39608}{39656}Oh, fuck.|O'Reily.
{39657}{39676}Yeah?
{39677}{39693}Come here.
{39694}{39709}Why?
{39710}{39747}Cause I say.|So?
{39748}{39776}We got business.
{39777}{39807}Don't move any pieces.
{39808}{39833}I got 'em memorized.
{39834}{39890}Would I do that?|What do you think of me?
{39918}{39947}Hey, Joey.
I'm here.
{39961}{39998}You bet Detroit on the Sox-Tigers game?
{39999}{40035}Yeah?|You lost.
{40036}{40056}Fucking Thomas.
{40057}{40075}You owe.
{40076}{40091}I know.
{40092}{40107}So?
{40108}{40125}I'm good for it.
{40126}{40142}Says you.
{40143}{40168}What, I haven't paid before?
{40169}{40190}I want it now.
{40191}{40204}Why?
{40205}{40252}Cause you owe.|Why you busting my balls?
{40260}{40380}I don't like your face.|Hey, take a look in the mirror.|You wanna die?
- You wanna try?
{40381}{40418}Problem, guys?
{40418}{40490}Yeah, the joint smells of too much garlic.
{40537}{40603}D'Angelo, count to ten and walk away.
{40633}{40679}Fucking dago jizzbag.
{40823}{40916}You lose, whiteboy.|I never lose when it counts.
{40993}{41060}I'm telling you, Jefferson was set up.
{41067}{41095}By who?
{41095}{41205}Come on, you don't have to be John Thompson to figure out the game plan.
{41206}{41266}It was the wiseguys that did it.
{41279}{41381}Schibetta sent Jefferson to the gladiator ring?|No, not Schibetta.
{41397}{41443}I been asking around.
{41453}{41519}Looks like Joey D'Angelo was roguing.
{41532}{41611}Ever since Ortolani croaked,|D'Angelo's been wanting to move up, {41612}{41669}but the old man has been slow.
{41674}{41782}So D'Angelo took it on himself to off Jefferson|just to impress the old man.
{41783}{41830}Fucking mook D'Angelo!
{41837}{41961}If D'Angelo got Jefferson to death row,|we got to execute that mother...
{42197}{42258}You fellows do that you gotta do, {42267}{42403}but with all this shit that's been going on around here,|if you whack D'Angelo, {42422}{42512}Glynn's gonna lock us down for good.|So what are we supposed to do?
{42527}{42590}You two work in the kitchen, right?
{42594}{42651}D'Angelo works in the kitchen.
{42678}{42760}Maybe he has a little accident.|I like that.
{42761}{42795}Yeah, yeah.
{42817}{42937}Now why are you so hot on justice for Jefferson, huh, whiteboy?
Huh?
{42958}{43051}Cause Jefferson took care of Ortolani for me.|I owe him.
{43070}{43106}Good morning.
{43120}{43269}I'm Colin Auerbach and as you know, Sister Peter, {43281}{43432}Sister Peter Marie is not around so the Warden asked me to pitch in.
{43454}{43545}We want Sister Pete.|Uh, she's not here.
{43560}{43608}Today, we're...
{43609}{43660}Shut the fuck up!
{43739}{43816}Today we're gonna talk about anger management.
{43850}{43936}Controlling the savage beast inside you.
{44378}{44415}Mr.
Schibetta?
{44472}{44509}Can I come in?
{44622}{44679}I heard what happened to Joey.
{44679}{44767}Steam pipe burst, knocks him backward,|hits him in the head.
{44779}{44841}Is he ok?|He's unconscious.
{44842}{44920}He'll be laid up for a while.|I don't mean to be reaching, {44937}{45003}but if you ever need an extra hand...
{45025}{45115}I mean, come on, I took care of Jefferson Keane for you.
{45129}{45204}He's gonna die and both our hands are clean.
{45277}{45414}One of my best buddies in the army was Donnie O'Reily.
{45435}{45467}Irish guy.
{45508}{45550}From Howard Beach.
{45554}{45627}Tough little fucker,|didn't take any bullshit from anybody, {45628}{45676}including the Sergeant.
{45722}{45760}He loved women.
{45771}{45809}He loved boats.
{45822}{45872}He loved women on boats.
{45904}{45942}He loved vodka.
{45967}{46043}He loved women who drank vodka on boats.
{46193}{46225}Who knows?
{46258}{46315}Maybe we can do some business.
{46340}{46367}Great.
{46907}{46952}Poor son of a bitch.
{47104}{47176}Yo, Padre!|How you doing, Miguel?
{47177}{47214}How's my baby?
{47274}{47332}He's not doing so good, Miguel.
{47339}{47394}He's not getting any better.
{47403}{47430}Shit.
{47450}{47557}The doctors, they're thinking of taking him off the life support.
{47579}{47635}What, you mean pull the plug?
{47639}{47692}No.
No.
No!
{47693}{47761}Maritza thinks it's the best thing too.
{47763}{47857}No, Maritza's sweet and she gonna listen to anything|anybody tells her to.
{47882}{47974}I don't want them to kill my baby.|They're not killing the baby, Miguel.
{48017}{48066}The machines are the only thing keeping the baby alive.
{48067}{48141}If they turn the machines off then the baby can have a natural death.
{48142}{48223}I want to speak to Maritza.|I want to see my baby right now.
{48224}{48293}You can't see Maritza, you can't see the baby.
{48294}{48375}They're not even gonna let you make a phone call.
{48381}{48440}They're gonna start a psychiatric evaluation of you.
{48454}{48519}What, they think I'm gonna bug?|You cut yourself all up!
{48537}{48591}So?
I did it for the baby.
{48615}{48718}What do you mean you did it for the baby?|You tell me that I gave the baby life, {48719}{48812}right, that he's my responsibility.|But the baby being sick, {48813}{48908}I don't know what to do.|I ain't a fucking doctor!
{48909}{48975}And slashing your face did what, huh?
{48993}{49045}That's between me and God.
{49074}{49113}Oh, Miguel, you tell the shrink that {49114}{49223}and you're gonna be in here 'til you're 90 years old.|You gotta help me.
{49254}{49309}You gotta get me outta here.
{49316}{49373}You gotta help me see my baby!
{49378}{49440}You gotta tell 'em not to kill it!
{49477}{49534}You gotta let me see my baby!
{49558}{49669}You gotta tell 'em not to kill it!|I wanna see my baby!
{49686}{49767}You see, I got Alvarez on the road to redemption.
{49781}{49833}I got him to start caring.
{49848}{49919}And I guess that's tearing him up inside.
{49922}{50029}The doctor at the neo-natal unit,|he says that keeping the baby alive {50030}{50122}is actually cruel at this point.|I'm just trying to catch up here, all right.
{50123}{50236}I've had one meeting with Alvarez|and he sort of just whined about his kid.
{50254}{50348}All I want is to have him released|so I can take him to the hospital, {50349}{50425}because I think when he sees the condition the baby is in {50426}{50559}he will understand why they're going to take the life support away.|I need more time.
{50570}{50654}We don't have time.|They wanna turn the machines off tomorrow.
{50655}{50707}Tomorrow?
Forget it.
{50724}{50748}OK.
{50787}{50854}I don't need his permission, you know.
{50907}{50989}You're gonna take this responsibility on yourself?
{51007}{51040}Absolutely.
{53503}{53587}I appreciate everything you've done for me, {53662}{53740}you know, especially with the baby and all.
{53880}{53966}I guess sometimes that's the way things go, you know.
{54015}{54086}Sometimes things just work out like that.
{54138}{54174}You're right.
{54201}{54260}I feel better about myself.
{54363}{54499}I mean, I never thought that I'd love a baby with all my heart.
{54624}{54728}And, you know, I never loved anything before in my life.
{54762}{54840}It's like it opened up a whole new meaning.
{54955}{55005}That's important, right?
{55027}{55090}Figuring out who you are, you know, {55094}{55191}and about yourself?
{55284}{55348}So, you know,|I know now.
{55415}{55460}Well, I'm real glad.
{55539}{55591}Well, I owe it all to you.
{55750}{55791}Well, I gotta go.
{55857}{55892}Hey, Father.
{55975}{56033}Where was God when my son died?
{56099}{56171}Same place he was when his own son died.
{56524}{56582}Well, it's looking pretty good.
{56589}{56624}I feel good.
{56640}{56718}Well, the remaining kidney is functioning fine.
{56719}{56781}The rest of you is pretty healthy.
{56782}{56875}This afternoon I'll have you transferred back to...|Death row.
{56876}{56924}You can say it, Doctor.
{56936}{56999}Keane, you have a visitor.
{57326}{57357}Hey, Pop.
{57512}{57547}How's Grace?
{57629}{57725}Doctor says she recuperating faster than expected.
{57754}{57824}That's some rocking kidney you gave her.
{57906}{57947}So how you doing?
{57952}{58069}I'm still a little turned around|by all this publicity, you know.
{58098}{58205}Having a microphone shoved in my face|everytime I leave the house.
{58229}{58343}We been getting lots of letters and cards, mostly nice.
{58360}{58445}One guy from Iowa, he sent $100 cash.
{58479}{58554}Your Aunt Tillie said I had to send it back.
{58565}{58629}Did you?|No fucking way.
{58896}{58966}Dad, I need you to do something for me.
{58967}{59005}Anything, son.
{59006}{59096}Come on, now you know that.|I need for you to talk to Billie.
{59234}{59285}He's turned into a fag.
{59286}{59334}You don't know what it's like in here.
{59335}{59426}You don't know the things they do to you, the loneliness.
{59476}{59511}Talk to him.
{59536}{59617}I raised you three all alone.
{59686}{59830}Your sister, she's gonna make something with her life, {59831}{59902}especially with what you've done for her.
{59921}{60061}But when he leaves, what's Billie ever gonna be?
{60083}{60181}Your son.
My brother.
Forever.
{60273}{60315}OK, time's up.
{60642}{60751}It's rare when you say goodbye to someone|that you know it's the last time.
{60806}{60899}You can try to say whatever it is you should've said before {60903}{60971}or you can just hold on tight.
{61041}{61137}Just hold on, hoping the moment will last you a lifetime.
{61428}{61465}You all right?
{61627}{61725}Jefferson was my oldest.
{61798}{61861}So he always had a special place.
{61960}{62111}A man shouldn't live to see his own son die.
{62694}{62749}Hey.
I brought you some tea.
{62768}{62824}You brought me some tea?
Why?
{62850}{62911}Well, it's herbal.
{62981}{63031}Maybe you don't want it.
{63041}{63112}Hey, just so happens I'm out.
{63123}{63151}Thanks.
{63309}{63362}So...|So...
{63417}{63464}Why you here, McManus?
{63491}{63563}I mean, what do you want?|I don't know.
{63674}{63816}Just, I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry you're gonna die.
{63889}{63948}And...|You'd like my forgiveness?
{64032}{64098}Well, whatever you think you've done, {64124}{64161}I forgive you.
{64445}{64554}Did you get Kareem Said's test results?|Well...
{64555}{64633}Oooh, that feels so good.|So far, everything's fine.
{64634}{64700}I'm just waiting for the MRI results.
{64707}{64788}You wanna go to dinner tonight?|I can't.
{64789}{64820}Why not?
{64905}{64966}I'm witnessing Keane's execution.
{65099}{65125}What?
{65137}{65229}Yeah, I told you.|What?
You didn't tell me.
{65230}{65283}Yes, I did.
{65284}{65352}You didn't tell me.|Gloria, this isn't something I'd forget, {65353}{65419}believe me.
Christ!
{65470}{65557}Look, what is the big deal?|I'm only prescribing the drugs, {65581}{65603}declaring the death.
{65610}{65673}It's not like I'm sticking the...|...
IV in his arms.
{65685}{65741}Gloria, doctors are supposed to be healers.
{65742}{65826}You're supposed to help keep people alive.|You're not supposed to kill them.
{65851}{65918}You really see this as a killing?|I don't want you doing this.
{65953}{66023}You what?|I don't want you doing this!
{66024}{66091}Look, Tim, we've only been going out a couple of weeks.
{66092}{66178}Where do you get off telling me what I can and can't do?|Wait, wait, wait.
{66199}{66256}Don't grab me!
{66553}{66619}You'd better take some time off, Tim.
{66646}{66718}You hang around this prison so much,|you're starting to act like them.
{67274}{67338}Thanks.
{67471}{67522}Is the Governor here yet?
{67537}{67585}No, I haven't seen him.
{67612}{67713}But a pro death penalty marcher just took a swing at Sister Pete.
{67733}{67765}Is she ok?
{67801}{67833}Evidently.
{67847}{67908}She just kicked him in the balls.
{68003}{68081}I take it you're not gonna watch the execution?
{68136}{68173}How 'bout you?
{68180}{68205}No.
{68225}{68286}Can't stand watching flowers die, {68297}{68354}let alone another human being.
{68394}{68451}Closest I ever came was Bambi.
{68455}{68482}Bambi?
{68486}{68512}Yeah.
{68545}{68682}My ex was a big hunter, he was always going off with his buddies {68683}{68749}so I said to him one time to take me.
{68779}{68837}After some complaining, he did.
{68853}{69044}So I got there in the forest|with this big hunky shotgun and I fired at a deer.
{69105}{69143}Hit it dead on.
{69221}{69298}So I went over to this thing and I leaned down {69361}{69438}and this deer looked up at me with these eyes, {69472}{69527}these eyes like flashlights.
{69605}{69718}I knelt beside it and I held its head and I whispered,|"I'm sorry."
{69830}{69914}And like batteries going bad the light in its eyes {69939}{70081}flickered a little bit and went out.
{70208}{70285}For the next two years we were married,|every time I walked into the den {70286}{70382}I had to look at this fucking deer's dead eyes.|I had to dust them.
{70502}{70585}When we got divorced that's all I asked for,|the deer's head.
{70637}{70678}Then I buried it.
{70824}{70876}That's how I feel tonight.
{70906}{70947}What do you mean?
{70978}{71050}Like my head's hanging on somebody's wall.
{71230}{71272}Wanna have dinner?
{71331}{71366}Sure.
{71471}{71548}How you doing?|OK.
You?
{71589}{71649}Not bad, for a man about to die.
{71681}{71733}Yeah, you go tonight, huh?
{71753}{71798}Yeah.
You?
{71827}{71864}Next Thursday.
{71892}{71934}But I'm on appeal.
{71946}{72029}Did you see that old movie with that old actress, {72030}{72095}what's her name, Susan Hayward?
{72107}{72148}Which movie?
{72164}{72245}I don't know what it's called.|But she gotta live, or something like that, {72246}{72358}she's on death row ready to be gassed or fried {72359}{72485}or whatever they used to do back in the day.|The only thing is, her attorney has applied {72486}{72565}for some reprieve so she just waits.
{72593}{72643}The clock keeps ticking, {72647}{72717}waiting for that call from the Governor.
{72717}{72831}Yeah, and at the last possible minute he calls, huh?
{72841}{72929}Well, you know, now that I think about it,|I think she fries.
{73145}{73201}I need to ask some questions.
{73372}{73443}What do you want done with your property?
{73493}{73535}Give it to my dad.
{73538}{73603}And the money in your trust account?
{73615}{73666}To my brother and sister.
{73714}{73782}Will your family be claiming your body?
{73867}{73902}Yeah.
{73951}{73999}Who are your witnesses?
{74028}{74116}My dad and the Minister Said.
{74233}{74308}Sure you should see this?
{74462}{74549}Yeah.
Tisi and I have come on a long journey together.
{74583}{74650}I'm not gonna turn my back on him now.
{74752}{74823}OK.
Let's do it.
{74853}{74890}Officer?
{75142}{75274}Death is the supreme moment of truth, my brother, so sayeth the Prophet.
{75311}{75354}Praise be unto him.
{75365}{75412}And peace be unto you.
{75437}{75493}Minister, they took my khofi.
{75496}{75562}I don't want to die without my khofi.
{75575}{75612}You take mine.
{75855}{75955}Three thousand men and women are sitting on death row right now.
{76028}{76123}Congress have denied state inmates access to federal courts.
{76149}{76216}Congress has also eliminated financing {76217}{76284}to law officers for death row appeals.
{76324}{76415}The states themselves are shortening the appeals process.
{77244}{77360}In this country there's now|one execution every single week.
{78469}{78593}There were more executions this year than anytime since the 50's.
{78665}{78744}And we all know how righteous the 50's were.
{78900}{78968}You can make any statements you'd like.
{79167}{79277}I want my family to know that I love them {79310}{79397}and I believe that this punishes them|more than it punishes me.
{79479}{79560}I am so sorry for the three murders that I did {79611}{79677}and I wish by killing me today, {79719}{79771}you could bring them back.
{79799}{79888}My time on this earth has been far too short.
{79940}{80011}Maybe too short to get it all done right.
{80063}{80198}But so, I'm ready to move on.
{80273}{80347}All praise to Allah.
{80412}{80457}All praise.
{80815}{80886}Justice has been served.
{81046}{81179}L'Italien, the Supreme Court refused to hear your appeal.
{81197}{81244}Rehnquist is a fag.
{81283}{81380}Be that as it may,|your execution is scheduled for tomorrow.
{81413}{81522}Prisoner number 97L641, Richard L'Italien.
{81523}{81588}Convicted April 3, '97.
{81589}{81642}Murder in the first degree.
{81647}{81694}Sentence: death.
{81711}{81748}Tomorrow?
{81951}{82003}Well, my schedule's clear.
{82009}{82038}OK.
{82068}{82155}Hey, Warden, there's something I wanna tell you.
{82175}{82233}Something I never told anybody.
{82388}{82444}I suffocated Jennifer Miller.
{82467}{82503}Yeah, I know.
{82526}{82581}That's why you're gonna die.
{82613}{82673}I also suffocated Dorothy Paine.
{82715}{82740}Who?
{82750}{82791}Dorothy Paine.
{82812}{82884}She a waitress up in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
{82952}{83009}You confessing another murder?
{83113}{83176}I'll notify the proper authorities.
{83205}{83231}Wait!
{83253}{83375}I also suffocated Ethel Peterson and Gertrude Victor.
{83458}{83499}And Mary Rapp.
{83550}{83645}And Christina Trudell and Eleanor Hughes, {83658}{83809}Linda Lomaz, Lisa Masters, and Lorraine McCarthy and Betty Case {83900}{83980}and Irene Martin and Amelia Nugent, {84007}{84148}Elizabeth Phelps and Lucille Upton and Esther Vaughan.
{84198}{84233}Well, I did.
{84258}{84387}Richard L'Italien confessed to 39 murders, all young women.
{84388}{84436}He suffocated them all.
{84461}{84561}If the Governor had his way he would execute L'Italien 39 times.
{84625}{84677}I have to get him to pray.
{84690}{84837}Ray, listen, how can you go along with this?
{84857}{84938}You're as much against the death penalty as I am.
{84948}{85020}Of course I am, Pete.|I don't know.
{85033}{85093}Maybe if anyone deserves to die, {85098}{85140}Richard L'Italien deserves to die.
{85141}{85236}Maybe the world will breathe a little easier once he's gone.
{85247}{85307}My job is not to make judgments.
{85320}{85395}My job is to be by his side.
{85405}{85455}My place...
{85485}{85522}is with him...
{85582}{85620}if he needs me.
{85769}{85812}Pray for him, Mary.
{85916}{85954}That's for him.
{86026}{86074}That's for all of them.
{86376}{86443}Have you ever had bulls balls, Father?
{86472}{86533}No, sir, I can't say that I have.
{86534}{86622}Well, they serve them every year at the Bohemian Grove.
{86673}{86728}What's that?|That's a restaurant?
{86729}{86807}Oh, man, you never heard of the Bohemian Grove?
{86847}{86920}It's a retreat in San Francisco.
{86921}{87019}You know, for investment brokers, {87020}{87111}bankers, politicians, intellectuals.
{87142}{87198}Amazing you're not hip to it.
{87205}{87297}Of course, I grew up in the Bay Area so we always, {87298}{87350}you know, was having them.
{87359}{87436}Even as a kid I always wanted to go, you know.
{87459}{87484}Wow.
{87510}{87563}Wouldn't that be something?
{87578}{87666}Swim in the Russian River with some secretary of state, {87693}{87756}piss on a bed next to Donald Trump.
{87802}{87933}I mean, these guys are the elite, men of power.
{87967}{87997}Men.
{88142}{88261}Women were excluded but the Supreme fucking Court {88289}{88397}forced the Bohemian to let the cooches in.|Can you believe that?
{88431}{88513}Once they were in, I wanted nothing to do with it.
{88528}{88610}I was done.|But who knows the women you would have met?
{88631}{88688}Not the kind I wanted to fuck.
{88729}{88792}There's a big difference between wanting to fuck a woman {88793}{88843}and wanting to kill her.
{88844}{88875}Is there?
{88986}{89046}Have you ever been laid, Father?
{89123}{89146}No.
{89169}{89235}Then what would you know about pussy?
{89257}{89346}What would you know about anything?
{89393}{89443}All I know is that once upon a time {89444}{89578}you wanted to walk in the woods with important people and now, {89579}{89682}instead, you're here.
{89683}{89789}I'm here because I love women.
{89809}{89883}I love every woman I see.
{89910}{89974}Tall ones, thin ones, fatties.
{90003}{90035}It's true.
{90052}{90132}You know, I once worked a circus for the summer, {90155}{90241}and I fucked the dwarf while the fat lady watched us.
{90285}{90361}I fucked trailer park trash in West Virginia, {90401}{90473}I fucked rich girls up the ass in Aspen, {90494}{90571}I fucked PhD's, retards...
{90640}{90732}You know, once I fucked an amputee with both legs missing.
{90755}{90828}Fucking them isn't the same as loving them.
{90880}{90961}You sound just like a shrink I had once in juvie.
{91004}{91087}She tried to tell me that I hated women.
{91144}{91180}I showed her.
{91245}{91283}You fucked her?
{91296}{91337}And her daughter.
{91351}{91402}Then I snuffed them both.
{91489}{91541}If you love women so much, {91588}{91744}why do you kill them?|Because when you love someone, they own you, {91759}{91802}they possess you.
{91872}{91922}I will not be possessed.
{92090}{92167}I'm here to give you absolution for your sins.
{92180}{92233}Do you wish to be absolved?
{92312}{92344}Fuck, yes!
{92418}{92444}Shit.
{92500}{92615}You know, they told me I could order anything I wanted as my last meal.
{92672}{92729}I shoulda ordered bulls balls.
{92904}{92961}I'm really not ready for this.
{92975}{93011}Oh, man.
{93050}{93143}First, the inmate's given Sodium Pentothal, {93160}{93250}the same anasthetic used in hospitals for major surgery.
{93258}{93348}Then, a massive dose of Pancuronium Bromide, {93369}{93433}that paralyzes the diaphragm.
{93454}{93549}Then, Potassium Chloride to stop the heart.
{93846}{93903}Don't try this at home, kids!
{93951}{93988}He's finished.
{94228}{94258}Hello.
{94281}{94308}Hello.
{94615}{94656}Christ was executed, you know.
{94656}{94793}And if he hadn't been, the world would be a very different place.
{94842}{94880}A better place?
{94954}{94996}I didn't say that.
{95223}{95266}I want my job back.
{95298}{95325}OK.
{95343}{95388}I don't have to beg?
{95394}{95444}If it'll make you feel better, beg.
{95445}{95541}I just want you to know that I still disagree with you|on the death penalty.
{95556}{95616}Even for a cyst like L'Italien?
{95649}{95746}Leo, "thou shalt not kill."|The Bible makes that pretty clear.
{95747}{95847}You cannot take a human life for any reason.
{95858}{95915}Yeah, but the Bible also says, {95926}{95971}"An eye for an eye."
{95979}{96070}Which says to me that if you kill, you die.
{96106}{96197}Seems to me God's talking out of both sides of his mouth.
{96258}{96351}Maybe he's just as confused about the death penalty|as the rest of us.
{96352}{96400}All I know for sure is, {96422}{96553}no one's come to claim L'Italien's body,|so we're gonna stick him in a cheap pine box, {96565}{96622}stamp an ID number on the lid, {96666}{96738}and throw him in a hole at Potter's Field.
{96772}{96891}There he'll be, with no one to grieve for him.
{96929}{96970}I grieve for him.
{97008}{97044}Yeah, I know.
{97052}{97149}That's why I love you.|That's why I'm glad you're back.
{97535}{97611}There's this brother on death row somewheres, {97633}{97689}he checked in when he was 16.
{97722}{97822}He sat there another 16 years while the courts {97823}{97891}and lawyers argued about this and that.
{97925}{98003}While he waited he painted a mural on his wall.
{98023}{98121}For all those years he painted,|not letting a soul see what he was up to.
{98122}{98189}Finally, when he was 32 and had spent {98190}{98289}more life on death row than in his mama's house, {98290}{98348}all his appeals were exhausted.
{98382}{98427}He was about to die.
{98428}{98513}As he was about to be let out for the final time, {98514}{98600}he finally unveiled his masterpiece.
{98626}{98682}All there was were six words, {98872}{98940}The next day the hacks painted over it.
{99043}{99083}Peace out.
