:19:00
Grasping at straws,
she pleaded with the senator
:19:03
to make an appointment for her
with the president's wife.
:19:06
Reluctantly, he agreed.
:19:21
Tell me, Mrs Stroud, why do you think
the president should intervene?
:19:26
Mrs Wilson, the president is known
as the symbol of compassion
:19:31
throughout the whole world.
:19:33
I'm sure that deep in his heart
:19:35
he doesn't believe in the brutality
of an eye for an eye.
:19:40
I've never seen your husband,
but I've seen pictures of him.
:19:45
He has the face of a man
who has known great suffering.
:19:49
I think he'd understand what it means
to have the pack yapping at his heels.
:19:57
Mrs Wilson, they've turned on
your husband in his fight for peace.
:20:02
- They've broken his heart.
- Mrs Stroud, please.
:20:06
There's only one man left in the world
who can lend a helping hand to my son,
:20:10
and that's the president.
:20:14
Take the petition to him.
:20:18
I assure you, I give you my solemn oath,
:20:23
my son is a person of worth.
:20:27
Save him.
:20:43
Stroud! Listen!
:20:51
Hey, do you hear that, you cons?
President Wilson commuted Stroud to life!
