1
00:00:09,206 --> 00:00:11,897
Hey, pretty boy.

2
00:00:11,897 --> 00:00:14,202
How'd you like to go to Texas?

3
00:00:14,202 --> 00:00:16,472
I'd love to.
I haven't had my shots.

4
00:00:16,472 --> 00:00:18,700
I used to work on the Texas
innocence project.

5
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:22,632
One of my cases is up on appeal
and they've asked me back to argue.

6
00:00:22,632 --> 00:00:24,878
I could really use your help.

7
00:00:24,878 --> 00:00:27,289
- Because?
- My last appearance...

8
00:00:27,289 --> 00:00:30,533
I unfortunately lost my temper
with the chief judge.

9
00:00:30,533 --> 00:00:33,011
I'm afraid he could be
prejudiced against me.

10
00:00:33,011 --> 00:00:34,916
So I'm looking for the best
lawyer I can find.

11
00:00:34,916 --> 00:00:37,590
I think that's you.

12
00:00:38,219 --> 00:00:41,401
- What kind of case is this?
- Capital.

13
00:00:41,740 --> 00:00:45,940
The client is scheduled
to be executed in 72 hours.

14
00:00:46,364 --> 00:00:48,650
He could be innocent.

15
00:00:48,650 --> 00:00:50,919
What do you say?

16
00:00:50,919 --> 00:00:53,646
I say I've always wanted 
to go to Texas.

17
00:00:55,599 --> 00:00:59,648
Boston Legal
1x17  Death Be Not Proud

18
00:01:24,170 --> 00:01:25,508
ORIGINAL AIR DATE ON ABC: 2005/03/20

19
00:01:26,215 --> 00:01:28,599
I certainly appreciate
you seeing me, Shirley.

20
00:01:28,599 --> 00:01:30,947
I know how busy you are.

21
00:01:31,065 --> 00:01:34,029
Miriam, how long have 
we known each other?

22
00:01:34,029 --> 00:01:36,806
Well, certainly very long.

23
00:01:36,806 --> 00:01:43,575
But I am mindful of your hectic
schedule, and I'm appreciative.

24
00:01:44,358 --> 00:01:46,584
What's up?

25
00:01:46,584 --> 00:01:50,394
Well, I don't know
exactly how to say this,

26
00:01:50,394 --> 00:01:55,241
especially to someone with whom
I've enjoyed a long and rewarding friendship.

27
00:01:55,241 --> 00:01:59,798
But I've gotten myself
into a situation.

28
00:01:59,798 --> 00:02:06,861
I'm beginning a trial next week
in which I'm...

29
00:02:08,743 --> 00:02:11,205
the defendant.

30
00:02:13,757 --> 00:02:16,336
It's a criminal case?

31
00:02:16,336 --> 00:02:21,634
I'm charged with engaging
in sexual conduct for a fee.

32
00:02:23,624 --> 00:02:26,418
You paid a man 
to have sex with you?

33
00:02:26,418 --> 00:02:29,527
Many times.

34
00:02:29,689 --> 00:02:33,507
When you say "many times"...

35
00:02:33,507 --> 00:02:36,796
Hundreds.

36
00:03:02,950 --> 00:03:05,490
You are not going to wear that
once we get there.

37
00:03:05,490 --> 00:03:09,174
- Why not?
- This court antagonizes easily.

38
00:03:09,174 --> 00:03:11,905
Understood. How do I look?

39
00:03:13,261 --> 00:03:15,987
The client's name is Ezekiel Borns.

40
00:03:15,987 --> 00:03:19,463
He likes to be called Zeke,
he has an I.Q of 80.

41
00:03:19,463 --> 00:03:24,524
He was convicted eight years ago in the 
shooting death of a gas station attendant.

42
00:03:24,524 --> 00:03:27,046
We finally got a DNA test ordered.
It came back negative.

43
00:03:27,046 --> 00:03:30,504
One would think that would be
enough to clear him.

44
00:03:30,504 --> 00:03:34,088
But the problem is he confessed
after an all-night interrogation.

45
00:03:34,088 --> 00:03:37,300
He could have been coerced,
maybe brainwashed, maybe both.

46
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:39,874
When we land, I would
like you to go meet Zeke

47
00:03:39,874 --> 00:03:41,396
while I try to get a meeting
with the D.A.

48
00:03:41,396 --> 00:03:42,793
I assume you already
tried the governor.

49
00:03:42,793 --> 00:03:44,601
I'm told he giggled.

50
00:03:44,601 --> 00:03:46,383
High court is our last stop.

51
00:03:46,383 --> 00:03:49,106
- High court?
- Texas doesn't have a supreme court.

52
00:03:49,106 --> 00:03:51,465
They have two High courts,
one for civil, and one for criminal.

53
00:03:51,465 --> 00:03:54,326
And the chief judge
on the criminal High court...

54
00:03:54,326 --> 00:03:56,777
we had words on another case.

55
00:03:56,777 --> 00:03:59,847
When you say you had words...

56
00:04:00,101 --> 00:04:03,491
I called him a disgusting fat pig.

57
00:04:08,524 --> 00:04:12,138
Denny Crane?
Oh, no, I, I couldn't possibly...

58
00:04:12,138 --> 00:04:15,888
Miriam, listen, your case
comes before judge Clark Brown.

59
00:04:15,888 --> 00:04:17,724
Denny seems 
to have a take on him.

60
00:04:17,724 --> 00:04:19,364
I couldn't possibly.

61
00:04:19,364 --> 00:04:21,513
Shirley...

62
00:04:23,190 --> 00:04:25,725
I don't tell people this,

63
00:04:25,725 --> 00:04:28,028
but Denny and I...

64
00:04:28,028 --> 00:04:31,758
I once had relations with him.

65
00:04:32,539 --> 00:04:35,996
Listen, this many offenses...

66
00:04:35,996 --> 00:04:38,515
you could be looking at time here.

67
00:04:38,515 --> 00:04:42,699
If Denny gives us any 
advantage at all...

68
00:04:43,087 --> 00:04:45,867
I'm so beyond humiliated.

69
00:04:45,867 --> 00:04:49,592
Which brings me to my next bomb.

70
00:04:49,592 --> 00:04:55,667
I see no real defense here,
except, perhaps, medical.

71
00:04:55,667 --> 00:05:00,028
I'd like to be able 
to tell the jury that...

72
00:05:00,028 --> 00:05:03,752
you're a nymphomaniac.

73
00:05:14,702 --> 00:05:16,603
Has he ever shared with you 
any information

74
00:05:16,603 --> 00:05:19,301
that could possibly contradict
his signed confession?

75
00:05:19,301 --> 00:05:22,531
Uh, no, but I'd never quire.

76
00:05:22,531 --> 00:05:25,231
Not a curious guy, Father.

77
00:05:25,349 --> 00:05:29,762
The role of clergy is only to get
the inmates ready and willing to die.

78
00:05:37,064 --> 00:05:39,064
Zeke?

79
00:05:39,855 --> 00:05:42,699
My name is Alan Shore.

80
00:05:42,965 --> 00:05:45,393
I was all doped up.

81
00:05:45,393 --> 00:05:48,792
I remember being 
at the gas station, but...

82
00:05:48,792 --> 00:05:51,413
Well, Zeke, why did you confess?

83
00:05:51,413 --> 00:05:54,531
They kept telling me I did it.

84
00:05:54,531 --> 00:05:57,715
And they had witnesses.
I knew I had been there.

85
00:05:57,715 --> 00:05:59,022
I probably did do it.

86
00:05:59,022 --> 00:06:02,505
Your confessions didn't include
the word "probably."

87
00:06:03,501 --> 00:06:08,282
Zeke, you have no memory
of shooting the attendant.

88
00:06:08,649 --> 00:06:12,202
You're gonna get me sent to hell
is what you're doing.

89
00:06:12,202 --> 00:06:15,833
- I beg your pardon?
- I've already made my peace with god.

90
00:06:15,833 --> 00:06:19,392
If I start saying I didn't do it...

91
00:06:19,517 --> 00:06:23,562
Zeke, I'm trying to prevent
your being executed.

92
00:06:23,562 --> 00:06:26,425
They're gonna kill me, Mr. Shore.

93
00:06:26,425 --> 00:06:30,277
And my only salvation's
in the next world.

94
00:06:30,277 --> 00:06:33,678
I gotta keep my peace with god.

95
00:06:42,722 --> 00:06:44,819
Is this from his trial lawyer?

96
00:06:44,819 --> 00:06:46,780
Went into a 12-step program.

97
00:06:46,780 --> 00:06:50,042
Had to apologize 
to those he let down.

98
00:06:50,042 --> 00:06:53,057
- Has Zeke seen this?
- We sent him a copy.

99
00:06:53,057 --> 00:06:55,875
Zeke doesn't write back.

100
00:06:56,089 --> 00:06:57,835
Right.

101
00:07:02,945 --> 00:07:05,365
- Nymphomania?
- Anything you can find.

102
00:07:05,365 --> 00:07:09,546
And we'll need to line up an expert who 
can testify possibly as soon as tomorrow.

103
00:07:09,546 --> 00:07:11,195
It's not a real disease.

104
00:07:11,195 --> 00:07:13,503
It's an excuse offered up
by sex-perv sickos.

105
00:07:13,503 --> 00:07:17,434
Yes, Brad, thank you for that. / It's also 
a sexist diagnosis, as well as bogus.

106
00:07:17,434 --> 00:07:20,026
If a man was running around
trying to shtup everything he could,

107
00:07:20,026 --> 00:07:22,179
we wouldn't say that he had a disease,
we would just call him...

108
00:07:22,179 --> 00:07:23,769
Denny Crane.

109
00:07:23,769 --> 00:07:26,546
Exactly.
I'll need that research ASAP.

110
00:07:26,546 --> 00:07:28,666
Denny, right this way.
Thank you for joining.

111
00:07:28,666 --> 00:07:30,974
I'm a very busy man.
I have a caseload.

112
00:07:30,974 --> 00:07:32,628
You wouldn't believe. So...

113
00:07:32,628 --> 00:07:34,938
Hello, Denny.

114
00:07:35,654 --> 00:07:37,910
Miriam?

115
00:07:38,734 --> 00:07:40,977
Don't tell me I have another child.

116
00:07:40,977 --> 00:07:44,401
Miriam has a criminal case
beginning tomorrow.

117
00:07:44,401 --> 00:07:47,188
Criminal?

118
00:07:47,305 --> 00:07:49,036
What did you do?

119
00:07:49,036 --> 00:07:51,289
I can tell you what 
she's charged with.

120
00:07:51,289 --> 00:07:53,322
Can I count on your sensitivity?

121
00:07:53,322 --> 00:07:55,635
Of course.

122
00:07:55,635 --> 00:08:00,331
She's charged with engaging
in sexual conduct for a fee.

123
00:08:02,885 --> 00:08:04,786
You're a hooker?

124
00:08:04,786 --> 00:08:06,688
- I'm leaving.
- No.

125
00:08:06,839 --> 00:08:09,202
She paid for sex.
She didn't charge for it.

126
00:08:09,202 --> 00:08:11,923
And the judge is Clark Brown,
which is the reason you're here,

127
00:08:11,923 --> 00:08:14,701
in addition to your 
profound tenderness.

128
00:08:14,701 --> 00:08:19,129
We plan to perhaps use
a medical defense of...

129
00:08:19,129 --> 00:08:21,801
nymphomania.

130
00:08:22,076 --> 00:08:24,653
- You're a nymph?
- Denny.

131
00:08:24,653 --> 00:08:30,515
You mean when you and I went on 
that long weekend to Napa, and, and

132
00:08:30,515 --> 00:08:35,147
you did those things...

133
00:08:36,183 --> 00:08:38,894
She was sick.

134
00:08:53,866 --> 00:08:55,637
We have work to do.
We can't...

135
00:08:55,637 --> 00:08:58,977
I'm not about to go to Texas and
not ride the mechanical bull, Chelina.

136
00:08:58,977 --> 00:09:02,337
That would be like going to Los Angeles
and not sleeping with Paris Hilton.

137
00:09:02,337 --> 00:09:04,006
- You'll get hurt.
- Nonsense.

138
00:09:04,006 --> 00:09:06,957
I grew up riding ponies
in the pumpkin patch.

139
00:09:09,173 --> 00:09:11,465
Chelina.

140
00:09:11,465 --> 00:09:14,438
Yes. We've just had a slight delay.

141
00:09:14,438 --> 00:09:17,422
Alan wants to ride a bull.

142
00:09:18,531 --> 00:09:20,569
Can you get me the case?

143
00:09:20,569 --> 00:09:22,748
Fax it to the motel.

144
00:09:22,748 --> 00:09:24,757
Thank you.

145
00:09:26,156 --> 00:09:29,289
Evidently, an execution
got stayed in Connecticut.

146
00:09:29,289 --> 00:09:32,200
The lawyers argued something
called "death row syndrome."

147
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,675
Death row syndrome?

148
00:09:33,675 --> 00:09:36,969
The theory being that death row can
actually overwhelm the will to live,

149
00:09:36,969 --> 00:09:39,978
and contribute to 
a general incompetence.

150
00:09:39,978 --> 00:09:42,427
- That could be Zeke.
- Exactly.

151
00:09:42,427 --> 00:09:44,408
Notify my next of kin.

152
00:09:44,946 --> 00:09:46,404
Oh, god.

153
00:09:46,404 --> 00:09:49,243
Novice, intermediate, or expert?

154
00:09:49,243 --> 00:09:50,628
Expert.

155
00:09:50,628 --> 00:09:52,444
I teach it, actually.

156
00:09:56,108 --> 00:09:58,384
Do I get a whip?

157
00:10:01,448 --> 00:10:03,127
Intermediate.

158
00:10:04,151 --> 00:10:06,344
Intermediate.

159
00:10:06,344 --> 00:10:08,471
Chelina.

160
00:10:08,471 --> 00:10:09,930
We will.

161
00:10:09,930 --> 00:10:13,913
10:00 A.M. is, it's fine.
We'll be in his office.

162
00:10:14,026 --> 00:10:15,863
Thanks, Jerry.

163
00:10:15,863 --> 00:10:18,670
- We got our meeting with the D.A.
- Great.

164
00:10:18,980 --> 00:10:21,346
Intermediate.

165
00:10:21,465 --> 00:10:23,064
Help.

166
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:24,642
Help!

167
00:10:24,642 --> 00:10:26,438
Intermediate!

168
00:10:31,528 --> 00:10:33,335
It's not a real disease.

169
00:10:33,335 --> 00:10:37,167
It is part of our culture, Brad, and 
our role here is as advocates, remember?

170
00:10:37,167 --> 00:10:39,057
Shirley, that point is well taken.

171
00:10:39,057 --> 00:10:42,076
There is an enormous risk
with this kind of defense.

172
00:10:42,076 --> 00:10:44,948
- If the jury rejects it...
- but juries often don't.

173
00:10:44,948 --> 00:10:47,936
In 1970, we had the cable car
nymphomaniac in San Francisco.

174
00:10:47,936 --> 00:10:51,478
She was awarded $50,000 for a crash
that left her with a demonic sex urge.

175
00:10:51,478 --> 00:10:56,057
That case occurred when the medical
community was more open to the diagnosis.

176
00:10:56,057 --> 00:10:57,876
Well, there are other possible
diagnoses as well.

177
00:10:57,876 --> 00:10:59,254
She could be bipolar.

178
00:10:59,254 --> 00:11:01,676
There's also a condition
known as Kluver-Bucy syndrome,

179
00:11:01,676 --> 00:11:03,692
which can result in hypersexuality.

180
00:11:03,692 --> 00:11:07,616
Miriam Watson is a very successful
and private businesswoman.

181
00:11:07,616 --> 00:11:10,468
Should we raise 
nymphomania as a defense,

182
00:11:10,468 --> 00:11:12,203
the media will have a field day.

183
00:11:12,203 --> 00:11:14,346
Which is why we're trying
to nip this with a plea bargain.

184
00:11:14,346 --> 00:11:16,380
But without some defense,
we have no leverage.

185
00:11:16,380 --> 00:11:19,574
Judge Brown.

186
00:11:19,838 --> 00:11:21,834
Come again?

187
00:11:21,834 --> 00:11:25,830
I don't like it when you say that, Shirley.
It puts pressure on me.

188
00:11:28,123 --> 00:11:30,733
What about judge Brown?

189
00:11:30,733 --> 00:11:33,177
He's a virgin.

190
00:11:35,038 --> 00:11:38,242
And that would be relevant how?

191
00:11:38,242 --> 00:11:44,810
If he saw in our client an opportunity...

192
00:11:48,985 --> 00:11:51,359
May I speak to you two a second?

193
00:11:52,065 --> 00:11:53,611
This is not funny.

194
00:11:53,611 --> 00:11:55,425
That man is a senior partner here,

195
00:11:55,425 --> 00:11:57,969
and the only time of the day
he's not making lewd sexual inferences

196
00:11:57,969 --> 00:11:59,750
- is when he's doing so blatantly.
- Lori...

197
00:11:59,750 --> 00:12:01,160
No, Shirley, I am sick of it.

198
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,695
I am making an official complaint.

199
00:12:03,695 --> 00:12:06,360
You're on notice.
And you're on notice.

200
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,486
I've had enough.

201
00:12:21,836 --> 00:12:26,140
First, you cannot, cannot argue
the morality of the death penalty.

202
00:12:26,140 --> 00:12:29,034
- Every judge sitting up there is for it.
- Clearly.

203
00:12:29,034 --> 00:12:31,510
Second, do not mention 
Zeke's innocence.

204
00:12:31,510 --> 00:12:32,608
I'm sorry?

205
00:12:32,608 --> 00:12:35,382
They won't listen.
He did confess.

206
00:12:35,382 --> 00:12:38,852
Isn't it the DNA test
that got us the appeal?

207
00:12:38,852 --> 00:12:41,007
The DNA here does 
not exonerate him.

208
00:12:41,007 --> 00:12:44,946
It certainly indicates the presence
of somebody else at the murder scene.

209
00:12:44,946 --> 00:12:46,989
Proving innocence is one thing.

210
00:12:46,989 --> 00:12:49,935
But since we can't do that,
our case here is procedural.

211
00:12:49,935 --> 00:12:52,252
The DNA result is 
ancillary evidence,

212
00:12:52,252 --> 00:12:56,380
which hopefully will occasion 
them to look at procedural flaws.

213
00:12:56,380 --> 00:12:57,958
Does that make any sense?

214
00:12:57,958 --> 00:13:00,121
Yes, it does.

215
00:13:00,121 --> 00:13:02,265
This is Texas.

216
00:13:02,311 --> 00:13:04,537
I must say, I agree 
with the district attorney.

217
00:13:04,537 --> 00:13:06,907
If this were a one-time offense,

218
00:13:06,907 --> 00:13:09,876
but the complaint alleges
over 100 infractions.

219
00:13:09,876 --> 00:13:12,962
- It's shocking.
- If I may, your honor.

220
00:13:12,962 --> 00:13:15,737
- This is a victimless crime.
- Victimless?

221
00:13:15,737 --> 00:13:18,563
When somebody's action
impugns the values of society,

222
00:13:18,563 --> 00:13:22,575
- we are all victims.
- Yes, yes, yes for all that.

223
00:13:22,575 --> 00:13:26,662
But consider the shy people.

224
00:13:26,662 --> 00:13:28,518
The shy people? / Yes.

225
00:13:28,518 --> 00:13:32,622
If one were a single man,
painfully shy,

226
00:13:32,622 --> 00:13:40,299
a virgin, time running out,
one might like to meet this woman.

227
00:13:40,714 --> 00:13:44,934
She could help one.

228
00:13:49,171 --> 00:13:51,531
He's mentally impaired, Glenn.

229
00:13:51,531 --> 00:13:53,953
You know this.
Your own expert said so.

230
00:13:53,953 --> 00:13:56,694
He was born with severe
fetal alcohol syndrome.

231
00:13:56,694 --> 00:13:59,257
Chelina, this was all raised at trial.

232
00:13:59,257 --> 00:14:01,214
Now, at some point, 
a finding has to be final.

233
00:14:01,214 --> 00:14:04,060
I'm sorry. I realize I'm new,

234
00:14:04,060 --> 00:14:08,626
but didn't the supreme court rule
you can't execute mentally retarded people?

235
00:14:08,626 --> 00:14:10,245
He has an I.Q of 80.

236
00:14:10,245 --> 00:14:13,127
The cutoff point for retardation
in Texas is 70.

237
00:14:13,127 --> 00:14:16,756
Did you even read the prison reports
on Zeke's character?

238
00:14:16,756 --> 00:14:19,700
This isn't about whether
he's been a good boy in prison.

239
00:14:19,700 --> 00:14:22,120
Point is what 
he did at the gas station.

240
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,792
Perhaps he didn't do it.

241
00:14:23,792 --> 00:14:25,845
He has an I.Q of 80.

242
00:14:25,845 --> 00:14:30,250
All you really have is a confession,
which most likely was a product of coercion.

243
00:14:30,250 --> 00:14:33,269
No weapon was found.
DNA placed someone else at the scene.

244
00:14:33,269 --> 00:14:36,733
How about on the possibility
of Zeke Borns' innocence,

245
00:14:36,733 --> 00:14:39,611
we hold off just a bit on killing him?

246
00:14:40,933 --> 00:14:43,685
You must be new 
to Texas, Mr. Shore.

247
00:14:44,144 --> 00:14:46,972
- I told you not to raise innocence.
- How could we not raise it?

248
00:14:46,972 --> 00:14:49,182
They hear it all the time,
Alan, don't you get it?

249
00:14:49,182 --> 00:14:51,507
"My client is innocent.
My client is innocent,"

250
00:14:51,507 --> 00:14:54,777
every single complaint case.
It's the standard refrain.

251
00:14:54,777 --> 00:14:58,143
It has no impact when you can't
actually prove it, which we can't.

252
00:14:58,143 --> 00:15:00,879
- The trier of fact found him guilty.
- That doesn't mean we can't argue...

253
00:15:00,879 --> 00:15:03,227
Look, I've done this before.

254
00:15:03,227 --> 00:15:05,303
I know the way it works down here.

255
00:15:05,303 --> 00:15:09,532
Our claim has to be procedural.
It's the only chance Zeke has.

256
00:15:09,532 --> 00:15:11,863
And before you march into court

257
00:15:11,863 --> 00:15:14,062
and tell everybody
that the confession was coerced,

258
00:15:14,062 --> 00:15:17,275
keep in mind Zeke hasn't recanted.

259
00:15:17,275 --> 00:15:20,901
He's still maintaining he did it.

260
00:15:32,596 --> 00:15:35,435
Lori, while we understand
your issues with Denny,

261
00:15:35,435 --> 00:15:38,694
while we are certainly taking
steps to resolve them,

262
00:15:38,694 --> 00:15:42,105
I don't think you need to lodge an official
complaint of sexual harassment.

263
00:15:42,105 --> 00:15:44,274
- Shirley...
- Because if you do,

264
00:15:44,274 --> 00:15:47,106
we are required by law
to initiate certain procedures.

265
00:15:47,106 --> 00:15:49,116
It could get very 
messy for all involved.

266
00:15:49,116 --> 00:15:51,374
Is that a threat?

267
00:15:51,442 --> 00:15:55,753
He is ultimately a benign man
who we all happen to care about,

268
00:15:55,753 --> 00:15:57,421
including you.

269
00:15:57,421 --> 00:16:04,312
I think what you really mean to do
is to voice your concern unofficially.

270
00:16:04,312 --> 00:16:06,505
I am making an official complaint.

271
00:16:06,505 --> 00:16:10,769
If there's paperwork to be filled out,
please have the forms sent to my office.

272
00:16:13,425 --> 00:16:16,724
You little bitch.

273
00:16:22,635 --> 00:16:26,428
There is no evidence of you
ever having had a gun before,

274
00:16:26,428 --> 00:16:29,143
or ever shooting one.

275
00:16:29,143 --> 00:16:30,502
Zeke...

276
00:16:30,502 --> 00:16:32,484
I certainly don't wanna 
put words in your mouth,

277
00:16:32,484 --> 00:16:36,679
but if you have 
no memory of doing it...

278
00:16:37,618 --> 00:16:39,836
If you don't recant,

279
00:16:39,836 --> 00:16:44,032
by this time tomorrow,
you will be dead.

280
00:16:44,032 --> 00:16:47,114
I'm gonna be dead no matter what.

281
00:16:47,114 --> 00:16:52,540
The question is, do I go with god
on my side or not?

282
00:16:53,219 --> 00:16:57,228
From what little I know of god, Zeke,
he's on your side no matter what.

283
00:16:57,228 --> 00:17:00,069
He also favors the side of truth.

284
00:17:00,069 --> 00:17:01,689
Now, if the truth is you didn't do it...

285
00:17:01,689 --> 00:17:03,972
I did drugs.

286
00:17:04,236 --> 00:17:05,861
I stole.

287
00:17:05,861 --> 00:17:08,879
I was a bad person.

288
00:17:10,227 --> 00:17:13,688
And now I need to be a strong person.

289
00:17:13,688 --> 00:17:17,282
I need to have courage now for once.

290
00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:20,413
I'm gonna be brave.

291
00:17:24,495 --> 00:17:30,614
After my marriage dissolved,
my sexual desire became inflamed.

292
00:17:30,614 --> 00:17:33,012
I was in a few relationships,

293
00:17:33,012 --> 00:17:37,327
and my appetite took on
more the form of an addiction.

294
00:17:37,327 --> 00:17:39,279
When you say "addiction"...

295
00:17:39,279 --> 00:17:43,796
Now whenever I so much as look
at an able-bodied man,

296
00:17:43,796 --> 00:17:50,068
my southern region turns tropical.

297
00:17:54,521 --> 00:18:00,264
And this compulsion
led you to male prostitutes?

298
00:18:00,264 --> 00:18:02,386
Where else was I to go?

299
00:18:02,386 --> 00:18:04,610
I'm a 56-year-old woman.

300
00:18:04,610 --> 00:18:08,621
It's not as if I can
walk into a bar, or...

301
00:18:08,621 --> 00:18:11,500
I suppose if I were 
in a relationship...

302
00:18:28,977 --> 00:18:31,462
What the hell was that?

303
00:18:31,462 --> 00:18:38,069
"My southern region turns tropical,"
that little look to the judge?

304
00:18:39,121 --> 00:18:41,800
Did you coach her to do that?

305
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,216
If the judge likes us,
he gives us a good instruction.

306
00:18:44,216 --> 00:18:46,961
It's as simple as that.
He might even give us a directed verdict.

307
00:18:46,961 --> 00:18:50,686
I'm sensing some intent issues
with the prosecution's case.

308
00:18:50,686 --> 00:18:52,698
I can feel it.

309
00:18:52,698 --> 00:18:57,647
The judge has intent issues.

310
00:19:07,926 --> 00:19:10,082
These judges are 
only human, Chelina.

311
00:19:10,082 --> 00:19:15,037
They certainly have to appreciate
the possibility of his innocence here.

312
00:19:16,435 --> 00:19:21,249
When I left this job, I told everybody
it was because I wanted to make more money.

313
00:19:21,249 --> 00:19:24,461
The truth is I couldn't take it anymore.

314
00:19:24,461 --> 00:19:27,786
I couldn't take seeing clients die.

315
00:19:27,786 --> 00:19:30,318
Did you win any?

316
00:19:30,318 --> 00:19:32,301
Sometimes you 
must have prevailed.

317
00:19:32,301 --> 00:19:35,417
I remember reading a death penalty
was overturned here just last year.

318
00:19:35,417 --> 00:19:38,839
Yeah, a New York firm
volunteered to handle it.

319
00:19:38,839 --> 00:19:41,964
It took them 10 years
and cost $5 million.

320
00:19:41,964 --> 00:19:46,698
The state of Texas has the most overwhelmed
and underfunded defense bar in the country.

321
00:19:46,698 --> 00:19:49,329
They get $25,000 to 
appeal a death case.

322
00:19:49,329 --> 00:19:51,532
The prosecutors have 
an unlimited budget.

323
00:19:51,532 --> 00:19:54,026
- It's a joke, Alan.
- We have good grounds here,

324
00:19:54,026 --> 00:19:57,157
the trial lawyer has admitted
he provided inadequate counsel.

325
00:19:57,157 --> 00:20:01,371
Alan, this is the court that held a sleeping
lawyer isn't necessarily inadequate.

326
00:20:01,371 --> 00:20:04,909
You have to show he was sleeping
during the important parts.

327
00:20:07,368 --> 00:20:10,693
You asked me before why Texas,

328
00:20:10,693 --> 00:20:14,140
instead of having a supreme court,
it has two High courts?

329
00:20:14,140 --> 00:20:16,420
The reason...

330
00:20:16,420 --> 00:20:19,321
is to speed up the death cases.

331
00:20:19,321 --> 00:20:22,240
They've cut the time it takes
to execute people in half.

332
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,700
It's why Texas leads the country
in executions proudly.

333
00:20:26,700 --> 00:20:32,390
Seven of the nine judges you will 
face tomorrow are former prosecutors.

334
00:20:36,330 --> 00:20:38,198
Hey.

335
00:20:42,997 --> 00:20:45,472
Hey.

336
00:20:49,045 --> 00:20:51,430
I promise you...

337
00:20:51,430 --> 00:20:53,595
by the time I finish tomorrow,

338
00:20:53,595 --> 00:20:58,548
those judges, every last one of them
will rise up and say,

339
00:20:58,548 --> 00:21:03,302
"Never mind executing Ezekiel Borns,
let's kill Alan Shore instead."

340
00:21:20,233 --> 00:21:23,058
I'm sorry.

341
00:21:27,101 --> 00:21:29,146
Maybe we...

342
00:21:29,146 --> 00:21:32,705
we should probably 
get back to work.

343
00:21:37,345 --> 00:21:39,928
Yeah.

344
00:21:52,435 --> 00:21:56,418
Public presence here, Jerry.
There's one protestor outside.

345
00:21:56,418 --> 00:21:59,523
What am I gonna do, Chelina?
It's just not as big a story as it used to be.

346
00:21:59,523 --> 00:22:02,891
We'd be better off 
with nobody than one.

347
00:22:03,492 --> 00:22:06,003
I'll call you after.

348
00:22:39,266 --> 00:22:42,295
I told you you are not 
wearing that hat.

349
00:22:42,295 --> 00:22:44,834
Take it off.

350
00:22:50,716 --> 00:22:53,901
Listen, last night...

351
00:22:53,901 --> 00:22:59,665
sometimes lawyers will bond
over a cause, and, well, I...

352
00:23:00,013 --> 00:23:03,094
Chelina,

353
00:23:03,094 --> 00:23:05,785
let's go argue the cause.

354
00:23:09,742 --> 00:23:12,306
Remember, this motion
is a nuisance to them.

355
00:23:12,306 --> 00:23:14,227
They will antagonize you.

356
00:23:14,227 --> 00:23:17,653
If you even feel yourself
wanting to retaliate, you say,

357
00:23:17,653 --> 00:23:22,441
"with all due respect,
may it please the court."

358
00:23:22,441 --> 00:23:25,231
Anything else?

359
00:23:25,630 --> 00:23:27,227
Persevere.

360
00:23:27,227 --> 00:23:31,396
They will try to shut you down
before you even begin.

361
00:23:32,024 --> 00:23:34,277
Persevere.

362
00:23:34,277 --> 00:23:36,220
I got it.

363
00:23:36,955 --> 00:23:38,747
There is no question that

364
00:23:38,747 --> 00:23:45,343
the defendant entered into a transaction
for sex with someone for consideration.

365
00:23:45,343 --> 00:23:46,593
However,

366
00:23:46,593 --> 00:23:50,800
one element of this crime
is criminal intent.

367
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,848
The burden is on the prosecution to prove
this element beyond all reasonable doubt.

368
00:23:54,848 --> 00:23:58,144
If a medical condition deprived
the defendant of her free will,

369
00:23:58,144 --> 00:24:03,104
or even unduly influenced her,
she lacked that intent.

370
00:24:03,104 --> 00:24:05,532
Since the prosecution failed to eliminate

371
00:24:05,532 --> 00:24:09,285
hypersexuality or bipolar syndrome

372
00:24:09,285 --> 00:24:13,614
or Kluver-Bucy syndrome
as a cause for her conduct,

373
00:24:13,614 --> 00:24:19,329
well, then, I feel I have no choice
but to deliver a verdict in favor of...

374
00:24:19,329 --> 00:24:21,910
the defendant.

375
00:24:21,910 --> 00:24:25,552
Miss Watson, 
you are free to go.

376
00:24:34,263 --> 00:24:35,581
What?

377
00:24:35,581 --> 00:24:36,999
You got to that judge.

378
00:24:36,999 --> 00:24:39,479
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- You knew his ruling by heart.

379
00:24:39,479 --> 00:24:42,762
Boilerplate. / A ruling that 
was ridiculously pro-defense.

380
00:24:42,762 --> 00:24:43,994
Denny Crane.

381
00:24:43,994 --> 00:24:46,589
What did you do, promise 
him a date with our client?

382
00:24:46,589 --> 00:24:49,401
First of all, I would never ever
do anything like that, never.

383
00:24:49,401 --> 00:24:51,727
Secondly, if I did, I would 
never ever tell you. Never.

384
00:24:51,727 --> 00:24:53,434
Third...

385
00:24:53,434 --> 00:24:56,931
And you, was there 
any quid pro quo here?

386
00:24:56,931 --> 00:24:59,446
- How dare you?
- Oh, never mind how dare me.

387
00:24:59,446 --> 00:25:04,482
You're a serial intercourser.
That ruling was suspect.

388
00:25:04,628 --> 00:25:08,344
- Bribing a judge.
- Never did that.

389
00:25:08,604 --> 00:25:12,164
Well, the two of you are going to have
to live with yourselves on this one.

390
00:25:12,164 --> 00:25:17,970
For now, like the judge says,
you're free to go, as is your lip.

391
00:25:21,896 --> 00:25:26,346
Ezekiel Borns murdered a man 
in cold blood for a few dollars.

392
00:25:26,346 --> 00:25:28,211
He confessed to it.

393
00:25:28,211 --> 00:25:31,970
The petitioner has gone up and down
state and federal courts,

394
00:25:31,970 --> 00:25:34,168
exhausting his appeals,

395
00:25:34,168 --> 00:25:36,162
losing his habeas arguments,

396
00:25:36,162 --> 00:25:40,847
and failing on claims
of constitutional violations.

397
00:25:40,847 --> 00:25:44,865
Four different courts of appeal 
have reviewed

398
00:25:44,865 --> 00:25:50,277
and rejected each and every one
of his arguments.

399
00:25:50,277 --> 00:25:53,711
Now is the time for this man
to pay the penalty

400
00:25:53,711 --> 00:25:56,423
imposed on him fairly and legally.

401
00:25:56,423 --> 00:26:02,564
Now, a Texas jury has decided
that Ezekiel Borns is a dangerous killer.

402
00:26:02,564 --> 00:26:06,765
He has forfeited his right to live.

403
00:26:07,937 --> 00:26:10,563
Thank you.

404
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,717
"With all due respect,
may it please the court."

405
00:26:23,150 --> 00:26:24,831
Good afternoon, 
my name is Alan Shore.

406
00:26:24,831 --> 00:26:28,641
Mr. Shore, what are the new
issues being raised here?

407
00:26:28,641 --> 00:26:30,373
The first issue before the court

408
00:26:30,373 --> 00:26:33,072
concerns the absence of 
any African American jurors.

409
00:26:33,072 --> 00:26:36,037
That was previously argued
and ruled on, counsel.

410
00:26:36,037 --> 00:26:38,138
Yes, before the lower courts.
This bench has never considered...

411
00:26:38,138 --> 00:26:41,251
We're not persuaded that
the absence of a black juror

412
00:26:41,251 --> 00:26:43,611
is in violation of due process.

413
00:26:43,611 --> 00:26:45,686
What's your next issue?

414
00:26:45,686 --> 00:26:48,318
I would turn the court's attention
to the fact that the grand jury

415
00:26:48,318 --> 00:26:51,606
which indicted Mr. Borns
similarily was all white.

416
00:26:51,606 --> 00:26:53,510
This raises equal protection laws...

417
00:26:53,510 --> 00:26:57,511
That issue was never raised,
and is therefore waived.

418
00:26:59,255 --> 00:27:04,908
Your honor, Texas law requires
that the jury recommend death only in cases

419
00:27:04,908 --> 00:27:09,672
where they find that the defendant poses
a threat of future dangerousness to society.

420
00:27:09,672 --> 00:27:11,694
We maintain this is unconstitutional.

421
00:27:11,694 --> 00:27:14,139
Juries are supposed to find
elements of guilt and innocence

422
00:27:14,139 --> 00:27:18,891
based on facts beyond a reasonable doubt,
not on the basis of perceived probabilities.

423
00:27:18,891 --> 00:27:20,703
Moreover, as a practical matter,

424
00:27:20,703 --> 00:27:23,837
since Ezekiel Borns will 
remain in prison for life,

425
00:27:23,837 --> 00:27:26,735
he couldn't possibly constitute
a future threat to society

426
00:27:26,735 --> 00:27:29,187
unless the law assumes prison breaks.

427
00:27:29,187 --> 00:27:32,066
Well, that's an interesting issue, counsel,

428
00:27:32,066 --> 00:27:36,114
but that also was never raised,
and therefore, it is deemed waived.

429
00:27:36,114 --> 00:27:38,330
Next.

430
00:27:39,073 --> 00:27:40,908
May it please the court,

431
00:27:40,908 --> 00:27:44,936
Mr. Borns' trial lawyer has recently
admitted he was ineffective counsel.

432
00:27:44,936 --> 00:27:47,947
He was abusing cocaine
and alcohol during the trial...

433
00:27:47,947 --> 00:27:51,357
- Not legally inadequate.
- I believe if you examine the transcripts...

434
00:27:51,357 --> 00:27:55,090
Mr. Shore, representation
can always be better,

435
00:27:55,090 --> 00:27:58,664
especially when we play
Monday morning quarterback.

436
00:27:58,664 --> 00:28:00,057
With all due respect,

437
00:28:00,057 --> 00:28:02,510
this lawyer never gave 
an opening statement.

438
00:28:02,510 --> 00:28:05,278
He never questioned several
of the prosecution's witnesses.

439
00:28:05,278 --> 00:28:08,931
He failed to pursue a number of leads
and important sentencing issues.

440
00:28:08,931 --> 00:28:10,899
This court right here today

441
00:28:10,899 --> 00:28:14,262
has recognized that many valid 
grounds for appeal were never raised.

442
00:28:14,262 --> 00:28:17,686
This court is satisfied that
the representation was adequate.

443
00:28:17,686 --> 00:28:20,135
Is there anything else?

444
00:28:22,815 --> 00:28:26,748
Yes, Mr. Borns may be innocent.

445
00:28:26,953 --> 00:28:28,681
The jury disagreed,

446
00:28:28,681 --> 00:28:30,834
and legally, 
that issue has been settled.

447
00:28:30,834 --> 00:28:33,099
The DNA evidence shows
somebody else was there.

448
00:28:33,099 --> 00:28:36,946
But it does not disprove
that your client was also there.

449
00:28:36,946 --> 00:28:39,946
And your guy confessed, by the way.

450
00:28:39,946 --> 00:28:44,187
My client has an I.Q of 80.
He was interrogated for 16 hours.

451
00:28:44,187 --> 00:28:45,793
Coercion was never raised.

452
00:28:45,793 --> 00:28:48,713
It was never raised because his
lawyer was an inadequate hack,

453
00:28:48,713 --> 00:28:53,460
though the nine of you seem
quite satisfied with his performance,

454
00:28:53,460 --> 00:28:55,263
with all due respect.

455
00:28:55,263 --> 00:28:58,743
Mr. Shore, you came down here
from Massachusetts?

456
00:28:58,743 --> 00:29:00,670
Yes, sir.

457
00:29:00,670 --> 00:29:04,809
We in Texas have been living
with this case for eight years.

458
00:29:04,809 --> 00:29:07,093
You've been living with it personally?

459
00:29:07,222 --> 00:29:10,275
May it please the court.

460
00:29:10,275 --> 00:29:13,226
You first met Mr. Borns when?

461
00:29:13,226 --> 00:29:14,637
Yesterday.

462
00:29:14,637 --> 00:29:18,058
And you are proposing to us
that you know him?

463
00:29:18,058 --> 00:29:19,568
You know what I'd like to propose?

464
00:29:19,568 --> 00:29:24,352
I'd like to propose that you got a problem
with the death penalty in general.

465
00:29:24,352 --> 00:29:27,474
Now, is that why you came here, sir?

466
00:29:28,726 --> 00:29:32,478
I am here, with all due respect,
may it please the court,

467
00:29:32,478 --> 00:29:36,099
because I have a problem with a state 
executing a man with diminished capacity

468
00:29:36,099 --> 00:29:37,749
who may very well be innocent.

469
00:29:37,749 --> 00:29:39,840
I'm particularly troubled,
may it please the court,

470
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,715
with all due respect,
that you don't have a problem with it.

471
00:29:42,715 --> 00:29:45,586
You may not want to regard
my client's innocence,

472
00:29:45,586 --> 00:29:47,854
but you cannot 
possibly disregard the fact

473
00:29:47,854 --> 00:29:53,059
that 117 wrongfully convicted people

474
00:29:53,059 --> 00:29:56,251
have been saved from execution
in this country, 117.

475
00:29:56,251 --> 00:29:58,553
The system is hardly foolproof.

476
00:29:58,553 --> 00:30:06,811
And Texas, this state, is responsible
for a full third of all executions in America.

477
00:30:06,811 --> 00:30:08,252
How can that be?

478
00:30:08,252 --> 00:30:10,465
The criminals are just 
somehow worse here?

479
00:30:10,465 --> 00:30:15,139
Last year, you accounted for fully half
of the nation's executions,

480
00:30:15,139 --> 00:30:17,694
50% from one state.

481
00:30:17,694 --> 00:30:23,081
You cannot disregard the possibility, 
the possibility that something's up in Texas.

482
00:30:23,081 --> 00:30:26,351
I would urge you to confine 
your remarks to your client,

483
00:30:26,351 --> 00:30:30,006
and not the good state of Texas.

484
00:30:31,883 --> 00:30:35,349
Zeke Borns never had a chance.

485
00:30:35,349 --> 00:30:37,090
He was rounded up as a teenager,

486
00:30:37,090 --> 00:30:39,621
thrown in a cell while he was
still doped up on drugs,

487
00:30:39,621 --> 00:30:44,447
browbeaten and interrogated
until his I.Q of 80 was overcome.

488
00:30:44,447 --> 00:30:46,982
He confessed to a crime
he had no memory of,

489
00:30:46,982 --> 00:30:49,212
still has no memory of,

490
00:30:49,212 --> 00:30:50,678
for which there is no evidence,

491
00:30:50,678 --> 00:30:54,747
other than two witnesses who saw him 
pumping gas around the time of the murder.

492
00:30:54,747 --> 00:30:57,337
He was given a coked-up lawyer
who admittedly did nothing.

493
00:30:57,337 --> 00:31:01,120
I'm now before nine presumably
intelligent people in the justice business

494
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,397
who have the benefit
of knowing all of this.

495
00:31:03,397 --> 00:31:06,516
Add to that, you know DNA places
somebody else at the scene,

496
00:31:06,516 --> 00:31:08,248
and you're indifferent!

497
00:31:08,248 --> 00:31:10,413
You don't care!

498
00:31:10,413 --> 00:31:14,843
Whether you believe in my client's
innocence, and I'll assume...

499
00:31:14,843 --> 00:31:17,907
With all due respect, may it please
the court, that you don't.

500
00:31:17,907 --> 00:31:20,298
You cannot be sure of his guilt.

501
00:31:20,298 --> 00:31:23,436
You simply cannot.

502
00:31:23,811 --> 00:31:27,771
And failing that, 
how can you kill him?

503
00:31:27,771 --> 00:31:31,375
How can you kill him?

504
00:31:38,812 --> 00:31:40,710
And I would sincerely, sincerely,

505
00:31:40,710 --> 00:31:44,658
sincerely hope that 
you don't penalize my client

506
00:31:44,658 --> 00:31:48,015
simply because his lawyers
happen to be from Massachusetts.

507
00:31:49,441 --> 00:31:50,887
The home of the New England patriots,

508
00:31:50,887 --> 00:31:54,448
who could kick ass over any football 
team you've got in the good state of Texas,

509
00:31:54,448 --> 00:31:57,638
May it please the court.

510
00:32:12,087 --> 00:32:13,989
I am so sorry.

511
00:32:13,989 --> 00:32:16,647
No, you don't have to apologize.

512
00:32:16,647 --> 00:32:20,153
They gave you nothing.

513
00:32:20,270 --> 00:32:23,931
You had no choice but to 
go with your passion.

514
00:32:24,243 --> 00:32:28,804
Could have left out the slight
on Texas football, but...

515
00:32:34,144 --> 00:32:37,534
You were strong, Alan.

516
00:32:39,763 --> 00:32:42,787
And maybe you reached them.

517
00:32:46,996 --> 00:32:49,009
The court hasn't ruled yet.

518
00:32:49,009 --> 00:32:51,586
Six hours before, 
he goes to Huntsville.

519
00:32:51,586 --> 00:32:54,591
- That's the law.
- What's in Huntsville, bleachers?

520
00:32:55,555 --> 00:32:59,046
The death house.
They put me in the walls unit.

521
00:32:59,046 --> 00:33:02,509
Why move him 
if there's still a chance?

522
00:33:05,777 --> 00:33:08,757
- Jerry?
- No cell phones in here.

523
00:33:10,130 --> 00:33:13,457
Just now?

524
00:33:20,965 --> 00:33:24,420
They turned us down.

525
00:33:32,018 --> 00:33:35,547
Well, let's go then.

526
00:33:37,127 --> 00:33:40,434
- I'm so sorry, Zeke.
- I'm ready, Chelina.

527
00:33:40,434 --> 00:33:43,653
I'm gonna be strong like a hero.
You watch.

528
00:33:45,299 --> 00:33:48,302
Will you watch?

529
00:33:49,148 --> 00:33:53,448
I want people to see me strong.

530
00:33:53,982 --> 00:33:56,896
I got no family.

531
00:33:56,896 --> 00:34:00,405
Will you come?

532
00:34:01,186 --> 00:34:03,324
Sure.

533
00:34:03,324 --> 00:34:05,963
We'll be there.

534
00:34:07,743 --> 00:34:10,565
Let's go, Zeke.

535
00:34:19,751 --> 00:34:22,308
We'll go and see it together.

536
00:34:28,513 --> 00:34:31,798
He bribed the judge?

537
00:34:31,798 --> 00:34:36,699
I can't be sure, but I think
he had some undue influence.

538
00:34:38,147 --> 00:34:40,591
As much as I adore him,

539
00:34:40,591 --> 00:34:45,136
it's only a matter of time
before he brings this place to its knees.

540
00:34:45,417 --> 00:34:47,823
He's the named partner,

541
00:34:47,823 --> 00:34:51,969
the lead named partner.

542
00:34:51,969 --> 00:34:55,335
I think we've gotta take him out.

543
00:35:08,355 --> 00:35:10,456
I get ice cream.

544
00:35:10,456 --> 00:35:14,248
- Chocolate.
- Yeah, you're set.

545
00:35:14,248 --> 00:35:17,514
They said maybe sprinkles.

546
00:35:17,514 --> 00:35:21,405
Guess I don't need
to worry about my cholesterol.

547
00:35:29,133 --> 00:35:32,584
Governor's in Hawaii, unavailable.

548
00:35:32,584 --> 00:35:34,440
There's still hope, however.

549
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,455
I made a few calls,
tracked down a woman I know

550
00:35:36,455 --> 00:35:40,893
who is actually performing in a charity luau
where the governor is scheduled to be,

551
00:35:40,893 --> 00:35:43,256
Polynesian dancer.

552
00:35:43,256 --> 00:35:45,690
So you're saying this whole
thing could come down to...

553
00:35:45,690 --> 00:35:47,914
A hula girl.

554
00:35:52,097 --> 00:35:55,041
I know this girl. 
She's good.

555
00:36:01,841 --> 00:36:04,494
- Zeke.
- Let's do this.

556
00:36:04,494 --> 00:36:07,446
I'm ready to die. I'm strong.

557
00:36:09,690 --> 00:36:12,757
Would you excuse us
for a minute, please?

558
00:36:20,488 --> 00:36:23,272
Zeke, you talked 
about being a hero.

559
00:36:23,272 --> 00:36:28,934
Strong and brave may not
go with hero here.

560
00:36:28,934 --> 00:36:31,243
What do you mean?

561
00:36:39,535 --> 00:36:44,958
The state of Texas wants people
to believe you're a monster.

562
00:36:44,958 --> 00:36:47,932
I think you should show them

563
00:36:47,932 --> 00:36:51,335
you're a human being.

564
00:36:51,335 --> 00:36:58,285
And the human thing 
to do here is be afraid.

565
00:36:58,964 --> 00:37:01,520
If you wanna be a hero,

566
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:08,731
show people what it really
feels like to be executed.

567
00:37:09,106 --> 00:37:11,849
We're led to believe

568
00:37:11,849 --> 00:37:16,446
it's peaceful, painless,

569
00:37:16,446 --> 00:37:19,435
humane, even.

570
00:37:19,435 --> 00:37:23,073
I think you should fight
to the end, Zeke,

571
00:37:23,073 --> 00:37:27,503
and show your fear.

572
00:37:28,566 --> 00:37:33,041
This is because you're against
the death penalty, right?

573
00:37:34,452 --> 00:37:36,841
Well...

574
00:37:36,841 --> 00:37:40,117
Whether a person is for or 
against the death penalty,

575
00:37:40,117 --> 00:37:44,409
he or she should 
just know what it is.

576
00:37:50,139 --> 00:37:54,429
The best way for you to 
be a hero, Zeke,

577
00:37:54,429 --> 00:37:59,004
is to be human.

578
00:38:02,509 --> 00:38:04,597
I've also included a brief
synopsis of the case history,

579
00:38:04,597 --> 00:38:06,870
should he care to 
peruse it over a Mai Tai.

580
00:38:06,870 --> 00:38:07,888
Excellent, Angela.

581
00:38:07,888 --> 00:38:09,637
You have my number, 
you also have Alan's,

582
00:38:09,637 --> 00:38:13,069
and I've given you Chelina's cell,
and the number at the WLS unit.

583
00:38:13,069 --> 00:38:15,625
Thank you. Aloha.
Make speed.

584
00:38:17,764 --> 00:38:21,189
He's actually petitioning
the Texas governor by way of...

585
00:38:21,189 --> 00:38:22,841
Hula girl.

586
00:38:22,841 --> 00:38:25,604
Justice works in 
strange ways, Paul.

587
00:38:25,604 --> 00:38:27,968
Ask judge Brown.

588
00:38:27,968 --> 00:38:30,059
Did Denny bribe him?

589
00:38:30,059 --> 00:38:32,221
I can only guess.

590
00:38:33,774 --> 00:38:38,849
Tara, do you ever feel sexually
harassed by Denny?

591
00:38:38,849 --> 00:38:40,918
Never.

592
00:38:40,918 --> 00:38:42,832
He never objectifies you?

593
00:38:42,832 --> 00:38:45,559
All men objectify me.

594
00:38:45,879 --> 00:38:48,383
I don't.

595
00:38:50,455 --> 00:38:52,739
I don't!

596
00:38:54,143 --> 00:38:55,880
Hello, Angela?

597
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,808
Yes, without question.

598
00:38:57,808 --> 00:38:59,647
He must be there, Angela.

599
00:38:59,647 --> 00:39:02,991
I got his schedule directly 
from his press secretary's assistant.

600
00:39:02,991 --> 00:39:05,529
You got my fax? In your hand?

601
00:39:05,529 --> 00:39:07,320
Then find the governor, 
get it in his hand.

602
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,675
We have less than 10 minutes.
Maybe 5.

603
00:39:14,142 --> 00:39:16,005
Okay.

604
00:39:16,005 --> 00:39:18,455
No cell phones are 
allowed in here.

605
00:39:18,455 --> 00:39:20,033
How'd you get by with that?

606
00:39:20,033 --> 00:39:24,138
I told the guard we were waiting for
a last-minute call from your conscience.

607
00:39:24,138 --> 00:39:26,436
Collect.

608
00:39:26,436 --> 00:39:28,489
Do you see that guy?

609
00:39:28,489 --> 00:39:31,260
Media. One guy.

610
00:39:31,260 --> 00:39:33,452
It's not even a story.

611
00:40:14,245 --> 00:40:17,759
Do I get to say 
my last words now?

612
00:40:18,018 --> 00:40:20,411
If you like.

613
00:40:22,925 --> 00:40:25,394
It's just...

614
00:40:25,394 --> 00:40:28,536
I don't know if I did it,

615
00:40:28,795 --> 00:40:34,241
but if I did, I'm sorry, you know?

616
00:40:41,531 --> 00:40:44,593
Time to get on now.

617
00:40:44,897 --> 00:40:50,009
Okay. 
Thank you for everything.

618
00:40:56,826 --> 00:40:57,865
No.

619
00:40:59,162 --> 00:41:00,696
Get his legs. Get his legs.

620
00:41:02,017 --> 00:41:03,914
Get his legs.

621
00:41:04,179 --> 00:41:05,813
Get him on there.

622
00:41:05,813 --> 00:41:07,746
I got him.

623
00:41:07,887 --> 00:41:09,835
Right there.
