: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."
:18:01
Think that's a "for sale" sign
or a cry for help?
:18:05
Or is it braggin'?
:18:08
Lmagine that poor guy. Bought two rabbits
a year ago and now he's overrun.
:18:13
Comin' like popcorn!
:18:17
The governor runs for re-election
so they set a date for my execution.
:18:22
- Show how tough he is on crime.
- Matt, I agree with you.
:18:25
Politics did play a big part in this, but
don't bring it up before the pardon board.
:18:30
- Why not?
- Because it's full of political appointees.
:18:34
The last thing they wanna hear is some
convicted killer tellin' them they is bunk.
:18:38
We have to present you as a human being
and convince them to spare your life.
:18:43
We have to prove I'm innocent.
:18:45
We're filing appeals with
the federal and supreme courts.
:18:48
This is a pardon board. It don't matter
to them whether you pulled the trigger.
:18:52
They're gonna be thinkin' of the crime,
and of you as a monster.
:18:57
It's easy to kill a monster,
but it's hard to kill a human being.
