:04:05
I'm just trying to figure out what kind of
idiot shows up his first day of work...
:04:09
late and stinking of wine.
:04:11
I guess now you know.
:04:13
You wanna try to explain
your resume?
:04:16
- What do you mean?
- Well, you went to law school.
Did pretty well.
:04:19
Worked for Hayes Development for
three years. Working for your old man?
:04:23
- On and off.
- Mmm.
:04:25
And then there's this gaping hole.
:04:29
What have you been doing with
yourself for the last two years?
:04:31
Well, my father passed away. Maybe you
know. I helped settle his affairs.
:04:37
And after that?
:04:38
Um, well, after that I, uh, I did
some travelling and I, I just
tried some different things.
:04:44
Partied for two years.
:04:46
Well, call it what you want.
:04:48
Okay. What do you want to do?
:04:52
- What do I wanna do?
- Hell, it's your call.
:04:55
Your brother's
the governor's chief of staff.
:04:59
Well, um...
:05:01
Well, while you think about it, I'll get you
a desk and a subscription to Playboy.
:05:06
Of course, if you're interested in actually
working, I'm up to my butt here.
:05:11
Yeah, I'd like to give it a try.
:05:16
You know anything about this office?
You know what clemency is?
:05:19
Yeah, it's the power to pardon
people, commute sentences.
:05:22
- Whose power?
- I believe, the governor's.
:05:24
In this state, his sole power.
He makes the final decision.
:05:28
The Clemency Office makes
recommendations, but we're not here
to retry the case.
:05:32
This is about mercy.
Has the prisoner rehabilitated himself?
:05:36
Will solid citizens
speak out on his behalf?
:05:39
Does his own mother
have anything good to say?
:05:41
- Will I get some kind of training for this?
- Yeah, by doing it.
:05:46
Well, this is it...
124 pending cases.
:05:49
Everything from tax fraud
to murder.
:05:52
Wow. How do you keep on top
of all of it?
:05:54
You don't. You prioritize.
:05:56
I've got death warrants
coming down any day.
:05:59
Obviously they come first.
