:40:00
That was bullshit.
:40:02
Bullshit. I took some white girl
for a ride in my car.

:40:05
It was just a ride.
:40:06
In fact, she asked me for that ride.
:40:08
The arresting cracker happened
to be a boyfriend of hers.

:40:11
It should've been thrown out of court.
:40:16
My life was different after that.
:40:19
How?
:40:23
How was your life different after that,
if the case was thrown out?

:40:30
They took away my scholarship.
:40:33
A scholarship, for someone like me...
:40:35
...is a trade-off, pure and simple.
:40:37
I get a free ride, they get a better image.
:40:41
As soon as I walked into court,
I couldn't live up to my end of the bargain.

:40:45
They felt justified.
:40:48
The same way Tanny felt justified
looking for me--

:40:51
Wait.
:40:53
I don't follow you.
:40:58
Imagine a man, a very bad man...
:41:01
...driving a car south,
driving off the turnpike into Ochopee.

:41:05
He stops...
:41:06
...takes a siesta under a banyan tree
just outside a schoolyard.

:41:11
Then he spots a little girl.
:41:13
Pretty little girl.
:41:15
He talks her into his car.
He's friendly when he needs to be.

:41:19
Then he does it.
:41:20
Right there in the Glades.
:41:22
He drives on and never gives it
another thought.

:41:27
Go on.
:41:28
That very bad man moves on
down the line.

:41:31
A waitress in the Keys...
:41:32
...two tourists in Lakeland,
a prostitute in Tampa, and finally...

:41:36
...he gets sloppy.
:41:38
Big-time sloppy.
:41:41
That's murder one.
:41:43
That's the Row. Death Row.
:41:46
He's here?
:41:47
Yes. And what does he find
when he gets here?

:41:50
A neighbor on the Row
who's in for killing a little girl.

:41:53
Yeah, a little blonde girl down in Ochopee.
:41:56
All cut up and thrown in the swamps.
:41:58
And he says:
