Prisoner entering death watch.

Roger.

Well, look at that.

I never flew first class before.

Hey, Carmen!

What are you going to do? You going to
kill me?

Daniel, is this really the way you want
to go out?

I don't understand something.

Daniel Corbett killed someone, and now
they're going to end his life?

It's human justice, Gloria.

God hasn't sent us here to decide
whether it's right or wrong.

So we're not here to stop it?

No.

Tomorrow night, Daniel Lee Corbett will
die.

People gonna remember Daniel Lee
Corbett. You hear me, warden? Don't bet

I'm going to be famous.

Hello, Daniel.

I know just about every suit in this
prison. You ain't one of them.

What do you want?

Get him out of here!

What are you talking about?

That dude right there, he just walked
through my door. Get him out!

Kind of late for an insanity play, isn't
it, Corbett?

Vinnie! Vinnie, what?

Vinnie!

Who are you?

My name is Andrew.

I'm the Angel of Death.

I got 36 hours left.

I know.

And you've got to decide what you're
going to do with them.

Heavy burden, heavy load.

I will rise and I will walk with you.

I'll walk with you till the sun don't
even shine.

Walk with you every time I tell you I'll
walk

with you.

Believe me, I'll walk with you

You

can find your own seats, ladies.

Things will start filling up pretty
soon.

Execution tomorrow night, you know. Yes,
we know.

Ah, reporters.

Reporters like to sit over here.

We're not reporters.

Coffee? Yes, thank you, Shirley.

I'm Monica. This is Gloria.

Hi.

Shirley, I thought it was two E's.
That's unusual, isn't it?

Well, my mama always wanted a boy she
could name Lee. I came along, somebody

said, well, she sure Lee doesn't look
like a Lee.

I've been saddled with it ever since.

So many books.

I love books.

May I?

Well, that's what they're there for.

Can I get your menus?

No, thank you. The coffee will be fine
for now.

That's what they always say.

I'd hate to see a reporter's intestinal
lining.

Did I hear you say you're a reporter?

No, I'm here to interview Mr. Corbett
for a book he'd like to have written.

They all want a book.

Problem is, in your case, there's not
much of a story.

A guy from the other side of the tracks
pumps seven bullets into a stepfather.

Happens every day.

What brings you here?

I'm Greg Hatcher. I'm covering the
execution for the post.

Corbett's not worth a book, but
execution's always good for a front page

I see.

I'm Monica.

How you doing?

So, what's he like?

I don't know.

I haven't met him yet.

Well, you better hurry up.

Actually, I have my first interview
scheduled for this afternoon.

Listen, journalist to journalist, I
could really use an inside connection.

still trying to get a seat in the
witness chamber.

Well, I've only been promised one for
myself.

You wouldn't want to sell me that scene,
would you?

Sorry. Worth a try.

Listen, you want a tip?

Best angle on these stories is the
killer's final words.

That's what the readers are interested
in.

I'll keep that in mind.

You owe me one.

It's curious that there doesn't seem to
be a consistent societal manifestation

that leads one to murder.

People kill other people for all sorts
of reasons.

Why did Daniel Corbett do it?

That's the first question I plan on
asking him.

Gonna see that kid?

Yes, Mr.

Corbett has agreed to give an interview.

Doesn't seem right somehow, making him
famous.

I'm not here to make him famous.

I'm here to listen to you, Dory.

That ought to be something.

Vitamins.

That must be pretty hot stuff, huh?

God sent him an angel 36 hours of spare,
right?

Why do you think that is?

Don't know.

Maybe it's because he cares about what
happens to you.

Well, he's about a day laying a dollar
short on that one, isn't he?

So, are you telling me that you would
have listened to an angel before now?

I ain't listening now either, pal.

You know, if God was all so fired up and
worried about me, he'd have been

looking after me a long time ago when it
counted.

He was looking after you.

Yeah, well, he ain't done a very good
job then, did he?

You know, I want you the hell out of
here.

I got me a book writer coming to see me.

You want to know something?

I'm going to tell her to tell the whole
world that Daniel Lee Corbett don't take

nothing from nobody.

And that's including God and his lousy
angel.

Can't do that, Daniel.

You and I are stuck with each other.

Oh, that's Tess.

She's our visitations coordinator.

Hello. Is something funny?

Did you say something funny, Officer
Finney?

No, not me.

Neither did I. So what are you smiling
at, young lady?

I think she's just trying to be
friendly, ma 'am. Well, may I suggest to

that what you're about to do is
extremely serious.

Mr. Corbett's time is running out. Do
you understand what I'm saying?

Yes, ma 'am.

Good.

Now go on in.

Right this way, ladies.

So, uh, you the ladies gonna make me
famous?

My name is Monica.

This is my assistant, Gloria.

Nice to meet you.

You better believe it, this sweet thing.

Me and me can be the highlight of your
life.

So, uh, where do we start?

Let's start with why you're here.

Yeah, yeah.

Why don't we start with the day I
cleaned up my little corner of the

That's good.

Let's see.

I ain't seen my mama or her welfare bum
of a third husband since I run off at

14. But I knew they still lived in their
cruddy little trailer out in the middle

of nowhere.

And that place ain't changed much.

Of course, I did.

I picked up a few nasty habits, you
know, running around the streets as a

Radical scum returns.

Hey, Delroy.

You aren't welcome here, punk.

Ain't you happy to see your long -lost
son?

You're nobody's son.

Where's my mama?

She don't want to see you.

Any more than I do.

I asked you a question.

She's at confession, asking God to
forgive her for giving birth to the

of you.

That just cost you seven, old man.

The cops caught up with me the next
morning.

What happened to your mother?

Don't know.

You must have seen her at the trial.

She ain't come to the trial.

She hasn't been here to visit you?

No. No, go figure.

I killed her husband.

You remember that part?

Would you like to see your mother,
Daniel?

I'd like her to be here.

We could try to find her.

She's with Delroy.

Her married name was L &S Gibbons, if
that helps you out.

Anything else?

She also used to like to go by her
middle name, which was Shirley, but she

spelled it with two E's.

Oh, my goodness.

See what I can do to help, Mr. Corbett.

We'll be back. Thank you.

I don't have time for this one.

Just listen, Shirley.

Keep your voice down.

But you are his mother.

Are you happy now?

What do you want from me?

He wants to see you.

I don't want to be another chapter in
your book, Monty.

This is not for a book.

This is for you and your son.

Hey.

What's up with Monica and the waitress?

Up? Yeah.

What's this sudden interest in Shirley
when you guys got a book to write?

Would you believe we're here for the
coffee?

Not really.

So, who's got the other seat?

The other seat?

Corbett's got two tickets to his
execution to give away. If Monica's got

who's got the other?

Oh, I really don't know.

Listen, I'm going to make the same deal
with you that I tried to make with

Monica. If you find out from me, there's
a hundred in it.

A hundred what?

Okay.

Two hundred.

Two hundred what?

$200.

Here you are at a diner just down the
road from him.

You're so close.

You must want to see him.

No.

I just want to be near him.

What would I do with $200?

What planet are you from?

Well, it's not exactly a planet.

She doesn't want to see him.

So you just killed your stepfather
because you didn't like him.

None of your business.

And you're just going to walk in there
and die.

without letting anyone know what the
truth is.

What truth?

I don't know, Daniel.

But I do know that I wouldn't be here
this early unless you had something to

or something to do.

I got something to do.

Finney!

Finney! What happened to my hour
outside?

You said you didn't want it. Yeah, well,
it changed my mind.

You just ain't gonna leave me alone, all
right?

Nope. Now, why would I leave you alone?

I weren't talking to you, you stupid
idiot.

I'm talking to my own personal angel.
He's standing right here next to me.

Really?

Why would God waste an angel on you?

You know something?

I think I killed the wrong man.

Weatherman says rain tomorrow.

Better get a look at that sunset while
you can.

All right.

Will it rain tomorrow?

Don't know.

How good are you, then?

I guess we'll find out.

So this is my last sunset.

Yeah.

It is.

Kind of makes you think, huh?

I hope so, Daniel.

I found your mother.

You did?

He works at the diner across the
highway.

The diner, was it?

When's she coming?

I don't know if she will.

She's afraid, Daniel. She doesn't
believe that you really want her here.

What are you talking about? I told you I
wanted her here.

Monica, you gotta get her here.

Maybe if you had a message that I could
give her that might... Okay, just...

Tell her... Tell her to bring Alonzo.

Alonzo?

She'll know what I'm talking about.

Okay.

And would you do me one more favor?

Of course.

Would you tell Tess that I know who I
want to give Mother's seat to now?

I'll see you tomorrow.

Who's Alonzo?

Just something to let my mama know that
I really want her here.

It's good, Daniel.

I'm glad to hear you say that.

Well, I guess it was looking at that
sunset.

Knowing it was my last one.

So now, things start to seem more real.

There must be a thousand things you want
to say to her.

No, just one.

I just want to look in those big,
beautiful, sad eyes and tell her that

see her in hell.

Why do you think you're going to hell?

I figure that's why you're here, ain't
it?

Why do you think your mother belongs
there?

Why don't you go and ask that guy of
yours?

I'm asking you.

You know what?

Let me tell you something about my 14th
birthday.

It's like I got my own little ocean.

Got any names picked out?

I love that thing.

Made me happy.

More many days like that, but I was one
of them.

For a little while, anyway.

What the hell is that?

It's nothing, baby.

Just a birthday present for Danny.

I only took a little out of the cookie
jar.

I never said you could spend that money
on this little moose.

Shut up.

What'd you say?

Probably cost less than the beers you
had for lunch.

You little punk.

I give you a place to eat at my house.

I give you a place to sleep.

And all you do is give me lip.

Where's my belt?

This time I'm going to lay something on
this kid he'll never forget.

Where's my belt?

In the bedroom, baby.

You, go on. Get in there.

Your mama and me are gonna decide what
to do with you.

I realized something that day.

I realized that they was in on it.

Together.

They sent me into that room and they
planned the whole thing.

I just ain't seen it till that day.

You promise?

Oh, God. Oh, what a promise.

Give it here.

That mouth just cost you seven, boy.

You little nothing.

You should have never been born. Turn
around!

Six.

Seven.

You see now?

She counted.

Every time.

One through seven.

She was my mama. She never did a damn
thing to help me.

Day and I ain't come back till night I
shot Delroy.

That's how I know I'm gonna see her in
hell.

I wish you would reconsider, Charlize.

Don't you think after all of these years
I haven't wanted to go over there?

I just couldn't make myself.

I was too afraid.

I can't believe that he really wants to
see me.

He does. And he wants you to bring
Alonzo.

Alonzo?

God.

My poor Danny.

What he went through.

And it's all my fault.

All that is in the past now, Shirley.

But this is your chance to find some
healing.

He really wants to see me.

But who's going to watch the restaurant?

Well, it's easy.

All you have to do is you take their
order, you write it down on this pad,

give the order to the cook, you serve
them their food, you give them the bill,

and you collect the money.

I think I've got it.

Oh, one more thing.

You have to memorize this entire menu.

We serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner
around the clock.

Gloria's a very fast learner.

I'll go get my purse.

Hello.

Welcome to the Oasis Diner. My name is
Gloria, and you'll be my very first

customers. We have 95 items on the menu,
and we serve them any time, day or

night. What can I get you?

Just a glass of water.

My mother's feeling a little faint.

Oh, water.

Okay, I can do that.

Daniel, I hope that you're able to see
this moment for what it really is.

Hey, Mom.

Hi, Danny.

Been a while.

You look... so old.

You look good.

They've been fattening me up.

Did you bring Alonzo?

Yes, he's here.

They made me leave him in security,
though.

We had to check

him out pretty thoroughly.

Here he is.

the day you gave them to me.

I do too, honey. I remember that.

A lot of things I remember about Alonzo.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry for all that.

It's a bit late for that now, Mom.

You know, I meant to come earlier.

Before.

You really been working right across the
road?

Since when?

Five years.

Five years.

You never come visit?

Oh, I wanted to. I just didn't think you
wanted to see me.

But now you do.

So I'm here now.

I'm here.

And I'm going to be sitting in that
chair tonight.

This means so much to me that you wanted
to have me there for you.

Who said I wanted you there?

But... No, shut up!

You want to know who's going to be
sitting in that chair tonight?

Alonzo.

You know, people always want to know a
killer's last words.

I'll give him famous last words.

I want to tell him all about what you
done to me.

How you sat there and you counted while
he beat me.

Every time he gave me seven with that
belt.

How you sat there and you planned the
whole thing.

And how this bear was my only friend
until I run off.

And I'm going to look him right in the
eye and I'm going to tell him exactly

what I'm telling you right now.

I'm going to see you in hell, Mama.

Let me out of here now.

Julius, leave me alone.

Let me out.

You cannot have that bear in the witness
chair, Mr. Corbett. This is not a joke.

You think I'm joking, lady?

I can have him wherever the hell I want
in that chair, and I want the damn bear.

It's the only one I want in there when I
get my last beating.

I'm afraid he's right, Tess.

He can have whoever he wants.

Hey, Angel.

You coming?

You're gonna miss the best part.

Clock is ticking here at the Arizona
State Penitentiary.

where in just three hours from now,
death row inmate Daniel Lee Corbett will

executed. Unless there are any last
-minute stays, Corbett will die at one

minute past midnight tonight.

This is Florence and her daughters Clara
and Sybil.

Hello. Their last name is Gibbons.

This is Delroy's mother.

Me and my daughters are here to witness
the execution tonight.

Are you aware, Mrs. Gibbons, that
Delroy's wife is here also?

That's what Gloria said.

Hi, Florence.

State invited us, surely.

As Delroy's next of kin.

I'm glad you're here.

But, uh, I just can't do any more family
reunions tonight.

Mrs. Gibbons, this might be a good time
for you to tell Monica the same thing

you told me.

All right.

I heard you're writing a book on Daniel
Lee.

Yes, he wants me to try.

I want you to know I harbor no ill
feelings against that boy for killing my

Children live what they learn.

When Delroy was a boy, he'd own daddy to
beat him something

terrible.

I always used to say, that's going to
cost you 20.

And what exactly did that mean?

For any smart -off, any mess -up, any
misbehaving,

you got 20 licks with the belt.

20?

Those aren't really vitamins, are they?

Dextroamphetamine. May I have those
back, please?

Why are you afraid to go to sleep?

They're going to kill my son tonight.

How is a mother supposed to sleep
through that?

If I stay up all night, then I don't
have to wake up and know he's gone.

He was such a good little boy.

He just never had a chance to grow up to
be a good man.

You don't need pearls to get you through
tonight, Shirley.

How do you know?

Because God has sent his angels to get
you through.

What?

Yes.

Angels.

And God wants you to know that he loves
you very much.

I don't deserve to be loved.

Not with the life I've lived.

I mean, it's all my fault the way he
turned out.

Yes, you have made mistakes that have
hurt your son.

But Daniel's crimes were his own.

God does not hold you responsible for
the choices that he made.

I tried.

Oh, I tried to protect him, but there's
only so much I could take.

Only... What did you almost say,
Shirley?

I don't want to talk about this anymore.
If there's something that you need to

say, if there's a truth that can help
your son die with some understanding,

with some love in his heart instead of
hate, then you must speak it.

Shirley, God gave me a gift for moments
just like this.

When the truth is too painful to share,
if you cannot say what is

still in your heart, will you let me...
May I see for myself?

Oh, Shirley.

I understand.

I'm so sorry.

It's 1115, Daniel.

You know, death isn't the end of
anything.

And after you're declared dead tonight,
there's going to be another trial.

What are you talking about?

A trial.

It's the same trial that every man
faces.

And believe me,

Your sentence depends on what you do on
this side of the grave.

Monica?

I never thought they'd let you back in
there now.

Well, Daniel, since you didn't ask for a
chaplain, I thought you might want a

spiritual advisor.

Angel skipped out on me.

I wouldn't bank on that.

So, uh... How do you like my dress
whites?

Daniel, listen to me.

You don't know the whole story of what
happened the day that you ran away from

home?

Or all the other days before when Delroy
gave you seven with his belt?

I know what I need to know.

Your stepfather didn't believe in giving
seven.

He believed in giving 20.

What are you talking about?

It was the same punishment that his
father had inflicted on him.

20 licks with his belt.

Promise? Don't I always promise?

That mouth just cost you seven, punk.

So I'm supposed to be thankful that he
only whipped me seven times.

Daniel, your mother wasn't helping him.
She was protecting you.

Devin!

Now get out of here, you little creep.

You need to know what happened that day,
Daniel. You may have run away, but your

mother stayed there and fulfilled her
promise to Delroy.

What promise?

You are one stupid woman.

That kid deserved all 20.

Are you ready?

Yes.

Eight.

Nine.

Ten.

She took 13 from me?

Yes. And not just on that day, but every
day he punished you.

She was your mother, Daniel.

She wanted to take all 20, but Delroy
wouldn't let her.

That can't be true.

Daniel.

It's time to go.

What am I supposed to do about my mama?

You're too late.

No, Daniel. As long as there is breath
in your body, even if it's with your

words, it's not too late.

Make peace with your mother.

Make peace with God.

Why do you care so much about me?

Because just like Andrew, I was sent by
God.

Do you still believe that God hasn't
been watching over you all these years?

No, sir.

I don't want to go to hell.

Will you tell me how to ask God for
forgiveness for all the stuff I've done?

I'd be happy to.

Monica is not going to need her seat.

At 12 midnight, I've been ordered by the
state of Arizona to enact a sentence of

death on Daniel Lee Corbett by injection
of lethal substances sufficient to

cause death.

Daniel, do you have any last words?

Ms. Gibbons?

I just want to ask you for forgiveness
for taking Delroy away from you.

And Mama, I'm so sorry for everything I
said.

It's okay.

Mama, listen to me.

I know what you did.

I know how you took 13 for me.

Now listen, you remember my little fish
tank?

I want you to remember me looking at you
through that little window, okay?

Not this one.

We need to finish, son.

I got me an angel here, mama.

That angel's going to help me get into
heaven.

Even after all this stuff I've done.

Oh, I believe you.

So I'm going to be waiting for you up
there, mama.

And you and me, we're going to have the
biggest, baddest fish tank in all

heaven.

Two dead.

Mrs. Corbett!

Mrs. Corbett, can you tell us what, if
anything, Daniel had to say for his

words? No, sir.

But they were the best words that Mama
could ever hear.

Excuse me.
