...when you're surrounded
by people that wanna kill you.
:05:06
Anyway, thanks for writin'.
:05:09
I don't get many letters or visitors.
:05:11
No one in my family seems able
to make the trip out here. I understand.
:05:16
It's a long drive from Slidell.
:05:19
(beeps)
:05:23
- Good morning.
- Good morning, Father.
:05:25
- Sister...
- Helen Prejean. Nice to meet you.
:05:39
- Have you been in a prison before?
- No, Father.

Sister Clement and I sang at the juvenile
detention centre in New Orleans.
:05:46
We sang "Kumbaya"
and the boys really liked it.
:05:49
They started makin' up their own verses,
singin' "Someone's escapin', my Lord..."
:05:55
The guards made us
sing a different song.
:05:58
Where is your habit?
:06:01
Our sisters haven't worn
the habit for 20 years, Father.
:06:03
You are aware of the papal request
regarding nuns' garments, aren't you?
:06:09
I believe the Pope said
"distinctive clothing", not habits.
:06:13
Well, I'm sure you will interpret it
in your own way. Whatever's convenient.

Matthew Poncelet.
:06:21
I remember him from the news.
:06:23
Him and another fella shot two children
in the back of the head on a lovers' lane.
:06:29
Raped the girl, stabbed her several times.
:06:34
Do you know what you're gettin' into?
:06:39
So what is it, Sister?
:06:41
Morbid fascination?
Bleedin'-heart sympathy?
:06:46
He wrote me and asked me to come.
:06:49
There's no romance here, Sister.
:06:52
No Jimmy Cagney "I'm wrongly accused.
If I only had someone to believe in me."

They are all con men and they will take
advantage of you every way they can.
