"Father, tell Rocky to show the world
what he's made of.
1:26:05
Tell him not to be afraid...
1:26:07
...and to go out laughing... "
- Well, what do you want?
1:26:10
I'm not gonna let them down.
1:26:12
That's what I want you to do.
I want you to let them down.
1:26:15
See, you've been a hero to these kids and
hundreds of others, all through your life.
1:26:20
Now you're gonna be a glorified hero
in death, and I want to prevent that, Rocky.
1:26:24
They've gotta despise your memory.
1:26:26
They've got to be ashamed of you.
1:26:28
You're asking me to pull an act, turn yellow
so those kids will think I'm no-good?
1:26:33
You're asking me to throw away the only
thing I got left that they can't take away.
1:26:37
To give those newspapers a chance to say,
"Another rat turned yellow."
1:26:40
You and I will know you're not.
1:26:42
You ask a nice little favor, Jerry.
1:26:43
Asking me to crawl on my belly
the last thing I do.
1:26:46
I know what I'm asking.
1:26:48
The reason I'm asking is because
being kids together gave me the idea...
1:26:51
...that you might like to
join hands with me...
1:26:53
...and save some of those other boys
from ending up here.
1:26:56
You're asking too much.
You wanna help those kids...
1:26:59
...figure out some other way.
- It's impossible to do it without your help.
1:27:03
I can't reach all of those boys.
1:27:04
Thousands of hero-worshiping kids
all over the country.
1:27:07
Don't give me that humanity stuff again.
1:27:09
I had enough in the courtroom.
Told everything. Named names.
1:27:12
Told the whole mess.
What more do you want?
1:27:14
What I've always wanted, Rocky.
1:27:16
Straighten yourself out with God.
1:27:20
Outside of that,
I can't ask for anything else.
1:27:23
Well, don't!
1:27:32
It's time, Rocky. Are you ready?
1:27:34
Yeah.
1:27:39
You figure on going in with me?
1:27:41
- I'd like to, Rocky. That is, if...
- You can if you wish.
1:27:44
- Do you mind, Father?
- Certainly not.
1:27:47
That's better. Be kind of lonesome
going down that last mile.
1:27:53
Promise me something.
1:27:55
Promise me you won't let me
hear you pray.
1:27:57
I promise you won't hear me.
