:16:01
You're just tryin' to stop the State
from killin' him.
:16:07
You want out? That's cool with me.
:16:10
You don't have to go back there.
:16:13
Get tough on sentencin'.
Get tough on lenient parole boards.
:16:17
Get tough on judges
who pass light sentences.
:16:20

:16:23
- Hello.
- Sister Helen?
:16:25
- Who's this?
- Matt Poncelet, Sister.
:16:28
I know I'm on death row, but there's
guys been here years and years.
:16:32
I didn't know this was comin'.
They set a date.
:16:35
- What?
- They're gonna kill me on the 13th.
:16:38
I didn't know you needed a lawyer
to get a pardon board hearing.
:16:42
I'd do it myself if they'd let me,
but they say...
:16:44
OK... OK, Matthew.
:16:47
Uh... I think I know of a lawyer
that may be able to help you.
:16:51
- I'll do my best, all right?
- Sister, come through for me.
:16:54
You're all I got. They got me on
a greased rail to the death house here.
:16:58
I ain't heard from you. You ain't
fadin' out on me, are you, Sister?
:17:02
I'll get you the lawyer.
Just... try not to worry.
:17:07
I'll call you soon. Bye.
:17:10
It's about time the State
got with the programme.
:17:12
Call me sentimental,
but I'd rather see him fry.
:17:16
Barring any last-minute appeals or stays,
Poncelet will die...
:17:19
...under the State's new execution
procedure, the lethal injection machine.
:17:23
- Hello?
- Luis, this is Helen.
:17:26
Can you give me the name of that lawyer
you wanted me to talk to?
:17:30
- How long you been doin' this, Sister?
- Doin' this?
:17:33
- Counselling death row inmates.
- Oh, I'm not counselling him.
:17:37
- I just met him once.
- What's your impression?
:17:39
I don't know if I like him.
:17:42
He needs help, but the best thing
is to bring him to you.
:17:45
Well, I'll do my best.
:17:50
Courts don't wanna hear appeals
on death-penalty cases.
:17:53
You can have new evidence of innocence
and the court won't hear the case.
:17:58
We're the pariahs. We're...
"Have many rabbit."
