: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.
:19:00
We need people that know you to speak
for you. Your mama should be there.
:19:05
I don't want her there. She'll bust out
cryin' till she can't say nothin'.
:19:09
Your mama should still be there.
:19:11
No. She'd have to hear
the Delacroixs, the Percys, the DA.
:19:14
- But if she's not at the hearing...
- Excuse me for buttin' in.
:19:18
You're right. It's gonna be upsettin'
for her but... she's your mama, Matthew.
:19:23
She should have the opportunity
to speak for her child.
:19:26
- She's just gonna blubber her head off.
- Yeah, well, she has the right to do that.
:19:33
What if you die and she hasn't
had a chance to speak for you?
:19:38
Don't you think it'll always eat at her,
wonderin' if she could have saved you?
:19:49
I'll think about it, but I got my pride.
:19:52
I ain't gonna kiss ass in front of these
people. I ain't gonna kiss nobody's ass.
