1
00:00:56,230 --> 00:00:59,059
- Daddy!
2
00:01:07,023 --> 00:01:08,024
My babies.
3
00:01:08,503 --> 00:01:11,071
-Mom? Mom!
- My babies, help!
4
00:01:14,509 --> 00:01:16,119
Mommy, come here.
There's a fire!
5
00:01:16,163 --> 00:01:17,381
There's a fire in there!
6
00:01:20,776 --> 00:01:22,430
Call the fire department!
7
00:01:26,608 --> 00:01:28,610
Yes. Hello,
I'd like to report fire.
8
00:01:30,264 --> 00:01:33,093
Yes, it's 1213 West 11th Street.
9
00:01:37,184 --> 00:01:38,968
Uh, yeah.
10
00:01:39,011 --> 00:01:40,970
It's my-- It's my neighbor's.
11
00:01:44,626 --> 00:01:47,716
Yes, there is...
There's babies in there.
12
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:50,110
I don't know.
13
00:01:56,028 --> 00:01:57,552
There's been an explosion.
14
00:02:00,990 --> 00:02:02,165
Oh, my God.
15
00:02:06,952 --> 00:02:08,215
Please, God.
16
00:02:09,129 --> 00:02:11,305
-Please, let them be all right.
17
00:02:11,566 --> 00:02:13,698
Please, please, God.
18
00:02:14,786 --> 00:02:16,136
I'm sorry.
19
00:03:15,064 --> 00:03:16,413
It didn't start in here.
20
00:03:20,678 --> 00:03:22,114
What a sick puppy.
21
00:03:30,775 --> 00:03:32,037
Well, lookie here.
22
00:03:33,125 --> 00:03:34,649
He didn't take no chances.
23
00:03:43,353 --> 00:03:44,354
Check this out.
24
00:03:47,401 --> 00:03:48,837
Crazed glass.
25
00:03:53,363 --> 00:03:54,451
Kids' room.
26
00:03:57,106 --> 00:03:59,456
Piece of shit waited
'till they were asleep.
27
00:04:05,157 --> 00:04:07,595
So, he pours the accelerant
here.
28
00:04:08,465 --> 00:04:12,687
-And it flashes over.
-It goes straight out the door.
29
00:04:13,644 --> 00:04:15,777
-Right along that baseboard.
-Yup.
30
00:04:16,908 --> 00:04:18,170
Onto the porch.
31
00:04:19,955 --> 00:04:21,086
Son of a bitch.
32
00:04:21,783 --> 00:04:22,827
We'll nail him.
33
00:04:27,484 --> 00:04:29,356
Thank you for coming down,
folks.
34
00:04:29,747 --> 00:04:31,662
-I know how hard this must be.
35
00:04:32,184 --> 00:04:35,797
This is Mr. Fogg, Mr. Vasquez.
They're investigating the fire.
36
00:04:37,668 --> 00:04:38,887
Our condolences.
37
00:04:39,670 --> 00:04:40,976
Y'all find out anything?
38
00:04:41,237 --> 00:04:42,760
We're still trying to find
our way.
39
00:04:43,283 --> 00:04:45,894
Think you might be able to help
us figure out a couple things.
40
00:04:46,155 --> 00:04:47,156
Of course.
41
00:04:48,984 --> 00:04:50,290
It's Stacy, right?
42
00:04:52,204 --> 00:04:54,468
Now, you weren't in the house
at the time of the fire.
43
00:04:54,511 --> 00:04:55,512
That's right.
44
00:04:56,687 --> 00:04:58,298
She works nights sometimes,
45
00:04:58,341 --> 00:04:59,995
stopped on the way home
from work.
46
00:05:02,911 --> 00:05:04,565
Whereabouts was it you stopped,
darling?
47
00:05:09,744 --> 00:05:13,095
I stopped at the Salvation Army
to get the babies some presents.
48
00:05:16,707 --> 00:05:19,319
-At 9:00 in the morning?
-Well, Christmas is coming
49
00:05:19,362 --> 00:05:21,669
-and we're broke, so...
-Of course.
50
00:05:23,061 --> 00:05:24,324
How about the day before?
51
00:05:25,716 --> 00:05:27,370
Anything unusual happen?
52
00:05:29,677 --> 00:05:30,678
No, sir.
53
00:05:45,301 --> 00:05:46,389
Hey, there.
54
00:05:47,259 --> 00:05:48,870
How are my precious ladies?
55
00:05:49,479 --> 00:05:51,176
Ooh, why are you crying?
56
00:05:52,526 --> 00:05:54,136
They've been crying all fucking
morning.
57
00:05:54,179 --> 00:05:55,355
You girls are lucky.
58
00:05:56,965 --> 00:05:58,401
If your mama wasn't so pretty,
you three wouldn't be here.
59
00:05:58,445 --> 00:05:59,968
Oh, you fucking stink.
60
00:06:00,229 --> 00:06:01,970
What, do you think you can
just stay out all night
61
00:06:02,013 --> 00:06:03,275
and then come home
and sweet-talk me?
62
00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:04,755
Honey, I had a couple o' drinks.
63
00:06:05,277 --> 00:06:07,715
I already got one DUI,
so I stopped at Mikey's.
64
00:06:10,631 --> 00:06:12,415
-What?
-Nothing.
65
00:06:15,897 --> 00:06:16,985
Have at it.
66
00:06:20,554 --> 00:06:22,338
So, that night,
you went to work?
67
00:06:24,340 --> 00:06:26,560
Yeah, I work nights.
We need the money.
68
00:06:26,951 --> 00:06:28,605
And you stayed at home
with the kids?
69
00:06:28,649 --> 00:06:30,564
-You do that a lot?
-That's right.
70
00:06:31,913 --> 00:06:34,132
I guess I'm one of them
stay-at-home dads
71
00:06:34,176 --> 00:06:35,569
everybody's talking about.
72
00:06:40,269 --> 00:06:42,402
There's another dinner in the
oven if you're hungry.
73
00:06:44,273 --> 00:06:45,448
Who is it this time, Todd?
74
00:06:45,492 --> 00:06:46,406
Who was who?
75
00:06:48,190 --> 00:06:49,452
I already told you
76
00:06:49,496 --> 00:06:51,541
-where I was last night.
-You ain't told me shit.
77
00:06:51,585 --> 00:06:53,500
You think I'm stupid?
What the fuck is this?
78
00:06:53,935 --> 00:06:55,240
Baby, you're the one that said
79
00:06:55,284 --> 00:06:56,633
you don't wanna have
no more children.
80
00:06:56,677 --> 00:06:58,896
Then what's it doing in your
wallet, you bastard?
81
00:06:58,940 --> 00:06:59,810
I don't know.
82
00:07:01,377 --> 00:07:02,987
-I thought maybe surprise sex--
-You're such a fucking liar.
83
00:07:03,031 --> 00:07:05,207
I could smell the bitch on you
when you walked in this morning.
84
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:08,210
-I'm not lying to you, honey.
-Mm-hmm. You ain't worth shit
85
00:07:08,253 --> 00:07:09,820
-for a husband.
-Bitch!
86
00:07:10,647 --> 00:07:13,041
I'm here every goddamn day
taking care of these kids.
87
00:07:13,084 --> 00:07:14,346
Oh, yeah? And why's that?
88
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,393
Why are you here every goddamn
day taking care of these kids?
89
00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:20,222
Because you don't have
a fucking job, that's why.
90
00:07:20,265 --> 00:07:21,963
Because you are a fucking loser.
91
00:07:22,006 --> 00:07:23,747
Better shut the fuck up
that shit right now--
92
00:07:23,791 --> 00:07:25,140
Or what?
93
00:07:25,183 --> 00:07:26,750
-I swear to God, woman.
-You hit me again? Go on.
94
00:07:27,490 --> 00:07:29,100
Oh, yeah, that's right. You
can't hit me.
95
00:07:29,144 --> 00:07:30,885
Because if you do,
then I can't go to work,
96
00:07:30,928 --> 00:07:33,235
and I can't make you money
to go out drinking and fucking
97
00:07:33,278 --> 00:07:34,802
whatever the fuck else you do.
98
00:07:39,328 --> 00:07:41,678
So, Stacy went to work that
night and you just, uh,
99
00:07:41,983 --> 00:07:42,984
stayed in bed?
100
00:07:47,249 --> 00:07:48,250
Yes, sir.
101
00:07:48,598 --> 00:07:49,904
Had a few beers, maybe?
102
00:07:52,863 --> 00:07:53,864
No.
103
00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:56,214
Reckon your kids
sleep pretty sound?
104
00:07:57,389 --> 00:07:58,347
Usually.
105
00:08:01,219 --> 00:08:02,438
And then that night?
106
00:08:03,570 --> 00:08:04,745
It was morning.
107
00:08:06,224 --> 00:08:08,270
I was asleep, so I thought I
was dreaming at first.
108
00:08:08,313 --> 00:08:09,576
- Daddy!
-But then I realized
109
00:08:09,619 --> 00:08:12,013
I could hear Amber screaming,
"Daddy! Daddy!"
110
00:08:13,318 --> 00:08:14,581
Daddy!
111
00:08:17,845 --> 00:08:19,368
Everything was full of smoke.
112
00:08:19,411 --> 00:08:21,413
I couldn't see nothing
but black.
113
00:08:21,457 --> 00:08:22,676
It smelled like it did
114
00:08:22,719 --> 00:08:24,504
when the microwave
blowed up last month.
115
00:08:24,547 --> 00:08:26,549
-Fires, lights popping.
- Daddy!
116
00:08:26,593 --> 00:08:27,637
Girls!
117
00:08:27,985 --> 00:08:29,900
So, I made it to their room
and...
118
00:08:31,815 --> 00:08:33,774
I had to kick through
the child-proof thing.
119
00:08:37,125 --> 00:08:39,562
I never felt anything
so hot in my life.
120
00:08:42,217 --> 00:08:44,654
I thought I'd found Amber,
but she was gone.
121
00:08:44,698 --> 00:08:45,742
Amber.
122
00:08:48,658 --> 00:08:49,659
Girls.
123
00:08:50,921 --> 00:08:51,922
Amber!
124
00:08:52,662 --> 00:08:53,750
Girls!
125
00:08:54,751 --> 00:08:56,448
I couldn't take the heat, so...
126
00:08:57,275 --> 00:08:59,582
I had to get outside, catch my
breath.
127
00:09:03,891 --> 00:09:05,022
That's when I hollered out
128
00:09:05,066 --> 00:09:07,024
for my neighbor
to call emergency.
129
00:09:16,425 --> 00:09:18,645
Can you think of why anyone
would wanna hurt your family?
130
00:09:18,949 --> 00:09:19,950
No, sir.
131
00:09:26,217 --> 00:09:27,697
We had three
of the prettiest babies
132
00:09:27,741 --> 00:09:29,220
anybody could've asked for.
133
00:09:30,613 --> 00:09:33,398
Off and on, we'd fight
and break up for a while,
134
00:09:33,442 --> 00:09:36,010
but it was always the babies
that brought us back together.
135
00:09:36,837 --> 00:09:39,056
Neither of us could've lived
without them kids.
136
00:09:42,277 --> 00:09:44,932
Sometimes, I wish Amber
had never woke me up.
137
00:09:49,676 --> 00:09:51,852
You know, Todd,
you've been in trouble before.
138
00:09:53,201 --> 00:09:54,942
-Yes, sir.
-A couple of those times
139
00:09:54,985 --> 00:09:56,596
when we asked you what happened,
140
00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:59,250
you didn't exactly tell the
truth, isn't that so?
141
00:10:00,556 --> 00:10:01,601
No, sir.
142
00:10:03,211 --> 00:10:04,734
But you're telling the truth
now?
143
00:10:04,778 --> 00:10:05,692
Yes, sir.
144
00:10:10,784 --> 00:10:14,178
Just as Jesus, the Lamb of God,
was taken too soon,
145
00:10:14,222 --> 00:10:16,528
so too were these three
innocents,
146
00:10:16,572 --> 00:10:18,705
taken back to the bosom
of the Lord.
147
00:10:19,619 --> 00:10:21,708
How else are we to understand
148
00:10:21,751 --> 00:10:25,537
the loss of Amber, Karmen,
and Kameron.
149
00:10:31,282 --> 00:10:34,111
Do you wanna stop somewhere
and maybe get...
150
00:10:35,069 --> 00:10:36,766
-something to eat?
-Cameron Todd Willingham,
151
00:10:36,810 --> 00:10:38,638
I don't wanna hear your voice.
152
00:10:39,073 --> 00:10:40,509
And maybe never again.
153
00:10:41,902 --> 00:10:45,209
-I'm hurting, too, baby--
-Did you hear a word I said?
154
00:10:45,253 --> 00:10:47,168
Oh, if you're gonna start
demonizing me,
155
00:10:47,211 --> 00:10:48,560
-speak to me like--
-I'll speak to you
156
00:10:48,604 --> 00:10:50,475
-however I please.
-You will not either.
157
00:10:50,737 --> 00:10:52,390
Baby, if we're ever gonna get
through this,
158
00:10:52,434 --> 00:10:54,349
-we gotta work together on--
-Stop the car.
159
00:10:54,784 --> 00:10:56,438
Stop the car,
let me out of the car.
160
00:10:56,481 --> 00:10:58,701
-Why? Why, what's the matter--
-Stop the car!
161
00:10:58,745 --> 00:11:01,269
-I won't stop the car--
-Stop the fucking car, Todd!
162
00:11:01,312 --> 00:11:03,663
-Tell me why.
-Let me out of the car!
163
00:11:03,706 --> 00:11:06,100
Stop the fucking car, Todd!
164
00:11:06,143 --> 00:11:08,450
-Let me out of the car!
165
00:11:08,493 --> 00:11:10,017
-Stop the fucking car!
166
00:11:10,060 --> 00:11:11,671
Those were my babies!
167
00:11:11,888 --> 00:11:15,196
Those were my babies
and you didn't save them!
168
00:11:15,239 --> 00:11:17,328
They were my babies!
169
00:11:17,764 --> 00:11:19,417
My babies, Todd!
170
00:11:32,909 --> 00:11:33,780
Driver!
171
00:11:35,259 --> 00:11:36,870
Exit the vehicle, put your hands
up where I can see them.
172
00:11:36,913 --> 00:11:38,001
Do it now!
173
00:11:41,570 --> 00:11:43,311
Turn around, face away from me.
174
00:11:43,354 --> 00:11:45,356
Interlace your hands
behind your head.
175
00:11:46,793 --> 00:11:48,098
Do not look back.
176
00:11:54,104 --> 00:11:55,497
Cameron Todd Willingham...
177
00:11:57,107 --> 00:11:58,630
you're under arrest for murder.
178
00:11:58,674 --> 00:12:00,241
-Murder?
- You come with me.
179
00:12:00,284 --> 00:12:02,025
-Who did I kill?
-Come on.
180
00:12:02,069 --> 00:12:03,679
We'll talk about it
at the station.
181
00:12:05,812 --> 00:12:07,596
Let's go, Todd.
You know the way.
182
00:12:08,902 --> 00:12:10,773
I only just buried them, Marty.
183
00:12:12,732 --> 00:12:14,603
This is some fucked up bullshit.
184
00:12:15,473 --> 00:12:16,561
Stand right there.
185
00:12:24,308 --> 00:12:25,353
Let's go.
186
00:12:32,882 --> 00:12:35,058
You're a real piece of shit,
you know that?
187
00:12:35,102 --> 00:12:36,407
Your own kids?
188
00:12:36,930 --> 00:12:39,193
-Jesus, man.
-I didn't do it, Marty.
189
00:12:39,236 --> 00:12:40,542
Fuck you!
190
00:12:40,585 --> 00:12:42,022
Hey, fuck you!
191
00:12:46,026 --> 00:12:47,984
Man, would you get
the fuck down from there?
192
00:12:48,028 --> 00:12:49,290
This ain't no fucking zoo!
193
00:12:50,334 --> 00:12:51,945
Jesus fucking Christ.
194
00:12:52,597 --> 00:12:54,991
You want a banana?
That'll make you calm down?
195
00:12:55,949 --> 00:12:57,515
They ain't gonna throw you no
fucking peanuts,
196
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:58,647
you know that, right?
197
00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:00,823
Who're you talking to, boy?
198
00:13:01,868 --> 00:13:03,347
I was just talking
to that mullet,
199
00:13:03,391 --> 00:13:04,479
you know,
she's real cute.
200
00:13:04,522 --> 00:13:06,176
She gave me a little wink,
you know.
201
00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:10,659
-This yours?
-Hey.
202
00:13:15,229 --> 00:13:16,143
Yours?
203
00:13:29,939 --> 00:13:30,940
Get up.
204
00:13:32,246 --> 00:13:33,551
Look, I'm good, man.
I was just fucking around.
205
00:13:35,379 --> 00:13:37,120
You ain't gotta take shit
so personal.
206
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,863
You smell like you wanna be left
alone.
207
00:13:46,869 --> 00:13:48,871
If you plead guilty,
you might live.
208
00:13:48,915 --> 00:13:51,091
I'm not confessing
to something I didn't do.
209
00:13:52,092 --> 00:13:53,745
I'll say any goddamn thing
you like,
210
00:13:53,789 --> 00:13:55,660
but I will not say
I killed my own kids.
211
00:13:55,704 --> 00:13:56,923
With the evidence they got,
212
00:13:56,966 --> 00:13:58,533
-they're gonna--
-I'm going to take the stand
213
00:13:58,576 --> 00:14:00,665
and I'm gonna talk to the judge
about it.
214
00:14:00,709 --> 00:14:02,450
Idiot, they will tear you up
on the stand.
215
00:14:02,493 --> 00:14:03,407
Oh, they better.
216
00:14:04,582 --> 00:14:05,670
Boy, you're about as
dumb as you look--
217
00:14:05,714 --> 00:14:06,802
What the fuck is wrong
with you, huh?
218
00:14:06,846 --> 00:14:08,021
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Todd, calm down.
219
00:14:08,064 --> 00:14:09,457
Oh, listen to him!
220
00:14:12,329 --> 00:14:14,157
They wanna kill me? Good.
221
00:14:14,854 --> 00:14:16,638
They better start
digging my grave now,
222
00:14:16,681 --> 00:14:19,467
because I'll die before I say
I killed my own kids.
223
00:14:19,510 --> 00:14:23,558
Boy, I am the only thing between
you and the needle right now.
224
00:14:24,341 --> 00:14:26,213
No way in hell
I'm putting you on that stand.
225
00:14:28,084 --> 00:14:31,827
Good morning,
Texas. This is KZYZ.
226
00:14:31,871 --> 00:14:34,569
The phone lines are burning up.
Let's hear from you.
227
00:14:34,612 --> 00:14:36,527
I never liked him.
I always thought there was
228
00:14:36,571 --> 00:14:37,833
something kind of
off about him,
229
00:14:37,877 --> 00:14:39,182
and it doesn't surprise me
a little bit.
230
00:14:39,226 --> 00:14:40,880
They should fry him.
231
00:14:40,923 --> 00:14:42,098
-He needs to burn in hell.
- What kind of daddy
232
00:14:42,142 --> 00:14:43,578
would kill his own babies
like that?
233
00:14:43,621 --> 00:14:44,666
Things like this
don't happen here.
234
00:14:44,709 --> 00:14:45,667
Hey, I'll shoot him myself.
235
00:14:45,710 --> 00:14:46,886
Boy took three innocent lives.
236
00:14:46,929 --> 00:14:48,322
The only thing I regret is,
237
00:14:48,365 --> 00:14:50,324
we can't kill him
three times over.
238
00:14:50,759 --> 00:14:52,108
Members of the jury,
239
00:14:52,152 --> 00:14:54,023
I'd like you to take a look
240
00:14:54,067 --> 00:14:57,461
at the sweet faces
of these beautiful babies...
241
00:14:58,114 --> 00:15:00,682
Karmen and Kameron,
barely a year old
242
00:15:01,074 --> 00:15:03,598
and already brimming with life.
243
00:15:04,425 --> 00:15:08,168
Little Amber, eagerly waiting
for Santa's visit
244
00:15:08,472 --> 00:15:10,126
in only two days.
245
00:15:11,911 --> 00:15:15,305
Now, I want you to imagine
these little angels...
246
00:15:15,349 --> 00:15:17,829
-...burning in their beds.
247
00:15:19,005 --> 00:15:20,920
This was no arson.
248
00:15:22,530 --> 00:15:23,748
This was murder.
249
00:15:25,141 --> 00:15:28,449
Well, I barely poked my head
out the door when...
250
00:15:30,190 --> 00:15:33,584
he just stood there with
a strange look in his eyes--
251
00:15:33,628 --> 00:15:35,847
-That's total bullshit.
- Shut up.
252
00:15:36,587 --> 00:15:39,503
To the best of your knowledge,
did Todd Willingham
253
00:15:39,547 --> 00:15:42,942
ever make an attempt
to get back in that house?
254
00:15:44,421 --> 00:15:46,510
He was too worried about that
car of his.
255
00:15:47,555 --> 00:15:50,514
He didn't try to save those kids
till the cops showed up.
256
00:15:51,385 --> 00:15:54,518
And it was like he was...
putting on a show.
257
00:15:55,563 --> 00:15:58,740
Fire talks to you,
it does not lie.
258
00:15:58,783 --> 00:16:00,785
Then what did that fire
tell you?
259
00:16:00,829 --> 00:16:04,050
That it was deliberately set
by human hands.
260
00:16:06,226 --> 00:16:07,531
Can you be more specific?
261
00:16:09,011 --> 00:16:11,144
Someone poured gasoline
through those children's room,
262
00:16:11,187 --> 00:16:14,408
even under their bed
in the shape of a pentagram,
263
00:16:14,451 --> 00:16:15,844
the symbol of the devil.
264
00:16:17,106 --> 00:16:18,934
He kept pouring down the hallway
to the front door,
265
00:16:19,152 --> 00:16:21,981
creating a fire barrier,
preventing any escape.
266
00:16:24,853 --> 00:16:27,160
That fire was hotter
than the hinges of hell.
267
00:16:27,899 --> 00:16:30,250
We found evidence
of what we call crazed glass,
268
00:16:30,293 --> 00:16:32,904
another indication it was goosed
by liquid additive.
269
00:16:33,253 --> 00:16:36,734
Worst of all, the refrigerator
was moved to block the backdoor.
270
00:16:37,387 --> 00:16:39,302
Someone made that house
into a death trap.
271
00:16:39,694 --> 00:16:43,872
Inspector Vasquez, how many
arson cases have you worked on?
272
00:16:43,915 --> 00:16:45,917
I reckon more than 1,200 fires.
273
00:16:45,961 --> 00:16:47,484
And to the best
of your knowledge,
274
00:16:48,050 --> 00:16:49,747
have you ever been
mistaken?
275
00:16:50,139 --> 00:16:53,012
Sir, fire does not destroy
evidence, it creates it.
276
00:16:53,273 --> 00:16:55,884
If I've ever been wrong,
it's never been pointed out.
277
00:16:57,886 --> 00:16:59,148
Mr. Horton?
278
00:16:59,844 --> 00:17:00,976
No questions, Your Honor.
279
00:17:03,805 --> 00:17:07,939
Mr. Webb, you shared a cell
with Todd Willingham
280
00:17:07,983 --> 00:17:11,030
at the Navarro County Jail,
is that correct?
281
00:17:11,595 --> 00:17:12,640
Yes, sir.
282
00:17:12,944 --> 00:17:15,817
And what did he tell you
at that time?
283
00:17:17,949 --> 00:17:18,820
Well, he...
284
00:17:19,647 --> 00:17:20,952
He said that...
285
00:17:21,910 --> 00:17:26,132
he came home
and that one of his children
286
00:17:26,175 --> 00:17:29,135
was hurt or even dead
or whatever.
287
00:17:29,178 --> 00:17:31,789
-What?
-And then so, he started--
288
00:17:31,833 --> 00:17:35,141
He decided that he was gonna
cover it up by starting a fire.
289
00:17:35,184 --> 00:17:36,533
Hell no.
290
00:17:37,317 --> 00:17:40,537
Did he tell you who it was
that injured that child?
291
00:17:41,408 --> 00:17:43,018
He did. He said it was his wife.
292
00:17:43,453 --> 00:17:44,498
-What?
-Yeah.
293
00:17:44,541 --> 00:17:46,326
He said she was crying,
yeah,
294
00:17:46,369 --> 00:17:48,197
and carrying on
with such emotion.
295
00:17:48,241 --> 00:17:52,201
He just decided to take some
paper and wad it up,
296
00:17:52,245 --> 00:17:55,204
and then he burnt it in a way
that made it look like
297
00:17:55,248 --> 00:17:57,163
them children was playing
with it and such.
298
00:17:57,206 --> 00:18:00,862
And did Willingham ever threaten
you about telling anybody
299
00:18:00,905 --> 00:18:02,907
-what he had told you?
-Yeah.
300
00:18:03,778 --> 00:18:05,910
He pointed his finger at me
and did like this.
301
00:18:05,954 --> 00:18:07,086
I'll kill you.
302
00:18:08,565 --> 00:18:09,827
-Thank you, Mr. Webb.
-Y'all need to start speaking
303
00:18:09,871 --> 00:18:11,307
some fucking truth around here!
304
00:18:11,351 --> 00:18:12,743
-Calm down. You just sit down.
-I am!
305
00:18:12,787 --> 00:18:13,875
No, no, this is corrupt.
306
00:18:13,918 --> 00:18:15,137
Don't believe that shit.
307
00:18:15,181 --> 00:18:16,530
That shit never happened, Judge.
308
00:18:16,573 --> 00:18:17,792
Control your client.
309
00:18:17,835 --> 00:18:19,054
-Counselor.
- That shit didn't happen.
310
00:18:19,098 --> 00:18:21,926
-Counselor.
-You took an oath, didn't you?
311
00:18:21,970 --> 00:18:23,711
Start speaking some
fucking truth then, boy.
312
00:18:23,754 --> 00:18:26,409
-This is my courtroom, sir.
313
00:18:26,453 --> 00:18:28,933
Mr. Jackson,
call your next witness.
314
00:18:29,412 --> 00:18:33,068
Mr. Evans,
you have firsthand knowledge
315
00:18:33,112 --> 00:18:36,898
of Todd Willingham's history
of violent behavior, don't you?
316
00:18:36,941 --> 00:18:38,029
Yes, sir.
317
00:18:38,073 --> 00:18:39,161
Would you explain to us
318
00:18:39,205 --> 00:18:40,815
what transpired
between the two of you?
319
00:18:41,337 --> 00:18:44,819
I mean, maybe me and Stacy
was flirting a little,
320
00:18:45,211 --> 00:18:46,429
but it ain't mean nothing.
321
00:18:47,996 --> 00:18:51,391
Hell, Stacy, she's like that,
and Todd sort of liked it.
322
00:18:51,782 --> 00:18:54,307
Wasn't no reason
to beat the crap outta me.
323
00:18:54,698 --> 00:18:55,830
Sorry, Your Honor.
324
00:18:57,048 --> 00:18:58,702
Beat me half to death.
325
00:18:59,703 --> 00:19:01,923
But Mr. Willingham's propensity
326
00:19:01,966 --> 00:19:04,926
for violence also found its way
into his home.
327
00:19:05,231 --> 00:19:07,537
Busted lip, black eyes...
328
00:19:09,017 --> 00:19:10,497
bruises all over her legs.
329
00:19:12,673 --> 00:19:15,458
Oh, and a red mark on her
stomach where he kicked her.
330
00:19:15,502 --> 00:19:17,112
Now, Mrs. King...
331
00:19:18,244 --> 00:19:20,333
did she say what she believed
332
00:19:20,376 --> 00:19:23,466
the cause of those beatings
to be?
333
00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:24,511
Yes, sir.
334
00:19:25,512 --> 00:19:26,861
Stacy was pregnant
335
00:19:26,904 --> 00:19:28,863
and Todd wanted to make her
have a miscarriage.
336
00:19:39,482 --> 00:19:42,050
Is Cathy King's testimony
correct?
337
00:19:43,269 --> 00:19:45,358
-No, sir.
-So, Todd didn't beat you up
338
00:19:45,401 --> 00:19:47,229
when he found out
you were pregnant
339
00:19:47,273 --> 00:19:48,491
and tried to force you
to abort?
340
00:19:48,883 --> 00:19:49,971
No, sir.
341
00:19:50,537 --> 00:19:51,929
He even came with me
to the doctor
342
00:19:51,973 --> 00:19:53,366
when I was pregnant
with them twins.
343
00:19:53,409 --> 00:19:55,194
He was excited
it might be a boy.
344
00:19:56,151 --> 00:19:59,981
So, the testimony we've heard
about the beatings,
345
00:20:00,024 --> 00:20:00,895
the obscenities?
346
00:20:02,113 --> 00:20:03,506
I'm not saying Todd and I
didn't fight,
347
00:20:03,550 --> 00:20:05,204
but I gave him just as many
bruises as he gave me.
348
00:20:08,642 --> 00:20:10,252
Is it true that the police
349
00:20:10,296 --> 00:20:13,299
were called to your home
to control a situation
350
00:20:13,342 --> 00:20:16,345
where Todd Willingham was
intoxicated
351
00:20:16,389 --> 00:20:21,524
and calling you a, quote,
"Whore, bitch, and slut?"
352
00:20:23,091 --> 00:20:25,267
Yeah. We was always arguing,
it didn't mean nothing.
353
00:20:25,311 --> 00:20:26,355
People argue.
354
00:20:27,226 --> 00:20:29,793
Despite the many occasions
355
00:20:30,098 --> 00:20:32,796
that he behaved
in such a violent manner,
356
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,624
how can you be so sure
357
00:20:35,059 --> 00:20:36,539
that he didn't commit this
crime?
358
00:20:36,583 --> 00:20:38,846
Because he loved those babies.
359
00:20:40,326 --> 00:20:41,544
And he loves me.
360
00:20:41,936 --> 00:20:43,242
Mrs. Willingham,
361
00:20:44,417 --> 00:20:48,072
are you telling us
that all of these witnesses
362
00:20:48,116 --> 00:20:52,251
who have testified to your
husband's violent abuse of you
363
00:20:53,034 --> 00:20:54,340
are just lying?
364
00:20:57,125 --> 00:20:58,169
I don't know.
365
00:20:58,431 --> 00:21:00,955
Do you have any idea why
they would lie?
366
00:21:03,262 --> 00:21:04,393
No.
367
00:21:06,090 --> 00:21:09,833
Now, you were raised
by your grandmother.
368
00:21:12,227 --> 00:21:15,274
Your mother was a victim
of family violence, wasn't she?
369
00:21:23,369 --> 00:21:24,283
Mm-hmm.
370
00:21:25,414 --> 00:21:26,285
Can you tell us
what happened to her?
371
00:21:26,589 --> 00:21:27,634
Objection.
372
00:21:27,677 --> 00:21:29,853
-Irrelevant, Your Honor.
-Overruled.
373
00:21:29,897 --> 00:21:31,855
The witness will
answer the question.
374
00:21:32,508 --> 00:21:33,770
Mrs. Willingham?
375
00:21:35,816 --> 00:21:36,904
She was...
376
00:21:38,645 --> 00:21:40,516
I'm sorry.
Can you speak up, please?
377
00:21:46,348 --> 00:21:47,218
She was killed.
378
00:21:47,915 --> 00:21:49,003
By your father?
379
00:21:53,660 --> 00:21:54,617
Yes.
380
00:22:01,102 --> 00:22:02,408
No further questions.
381
00:22:03,626 --> 00:22:05,715
You don't understand,
Todd is not like that.
382
00:22:06,237 --> 00:22:08,718
Todd would never do anything
to hurt those babies.
383
00:22:08,762 --> 00:22:10,677
He loved those babies
with all his heart.
384
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,983
He treated those babies
better than anybody else did.
385
00:22:13,027 --> 00:22:15,334
He would feed them
and change their diapers,
386
00:22:15,377 --> 00:22:18,467
and he potty-trained them,
and you are not listening.
387
00:22:18,511 --> 00:22:20,382
-The witness will step down.
-Everybody in here
388
00:22:20,426 --> 00:22:22,515
making up lies, no one's paying
attention to the fact,
389
00:22:22,558 --> 00:22:24,386
no one's telling the fucking
truth!
390
00:22:24,430 --> 00:22:26,388
-The witness is excused.
-No one accepts the truth
391
00:22:26,432 --> 00:22:27,955
or listening to anything
we're saying.
392
00:22:27,998 --> 00:22:29,565
- Young lady--
-When do we get a chance
393
00:22:29,609 --> 00:22:30,479
to say the truth?
394
00:22:32,046 --> 00:22:33,264
- You will step down.
-I'm sorry, Todd. I'm sorry.
395
00:22:37,443 --> 00:22:39,662
Mr. Horton,
call your next witness.
396
00:22:39,706 --> 00:22:42,622
-Your Honor, the defense rests.
-Are we all clear
397
00:22:42,665 --> 00:22:44,319
-on what was just said then?
-Todd.
398
00:22:44,363 --> 00:22:45,538
Now, hold on a minute.
399
00:22:45,581 --> 00:22:47,017
Before they started
digging up her past,
400
00:22:47,061 --> 00:22:48,976
-y'all were clear on that.
401
00:22:49,019 --> 00:22:51,500
This is the worst kind of crime
there is.
402
00:22:51,544 --> 00:22:53,589
And there's been people
called up to this stand
403
00:22:53,633 --> 00:22:56,505
to lie about me, people who
just don't like me anyway.
404
00:22:56,549 --> 00:22:58,725
I just wanna make sure
I get a fair trial, Judge.
405
00:22:58,768 --> 00:23:00,509
I wash my hands of this,
Your Honor.
406
00:23:00,553 --> 00:23:02,381
Ain't that how this shit works?
407
00:23:02,424 --> 00:23:04,861
Now, I've sat here and stayed
quiet while y'all paint
408
00:23:04,905 --> 00:23:06,472
the worst possible
picture of me.
409
00:23:06,733 --> 00:23:08,604
Ain't I got a right to respond,
Judge?
410
00:23:08,648 --> 00:23:10,084
Well done, son. Well done.
411
00:23:10,127 --> 00:23:11,564
-Sit down. Sit down.
-Where are my friends?
412
00:23:11,607 --> 00:23:13,435
- Mr. Jackson....
- Where are my family?
413
00:23:13,479 --> 00:23:15,872
-...call your next witness.
-People who can vouch for me.
414
00:23:15,916 --> 00:23:17,352
Sir, you need to calm down, sir.
415
00:23:17,396 --> 00:23:21,182
The jury will disregard
what they just saw and heard.
416
00:23:21,225 --> 00:23:23,880
Mr. Jackson,
proceed with your summation.
417
00:23:32,498 --> 00:23:36,763
"Whosoever shall harm
one of my children,
418
00:23:37,938 --> 00:23:42,421
it is better for a millstone to
be hung around his neck
419
00:23:43,117 --> 00:23:45,859
and for him to be cast
into the sea."
420
00:23:48,296 --> 00:23:49,645
Members of the jury,
421
00:23:50,603 --> 00:23:54,476
I ask that the words
of Mark 9:42
422
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,174
remind you
of your responsibility...
423
00:23:58,262 --> 00:24:00,047
as they remind me of mine.
424
00:24:01,091 --> 00:24:03,093
Two days before Christmas,
425
00:24:04,007 --> 00:24:06,532
Willingham committed the
ultimate crime.
426
00:24:08,403 --> 00:24:11,232
Can there be a more
righteous case
427
00:24:11,624 --> 00:24:14,583
for the imposition
of the ultimate penalty?
428
00:24:17,281 --> 00:24:20,459
Now, whether capital punishment,
429
00:24:20,502 --> 00:24:23,244
in this case, will deter others,
I don't know,
430
00:24:23,287 --> 00:24:28,075
but I do know it will deter
Cameron Todd Willingham.
431
00:24:28,336 --> 00:24:30,033
And that is what
the State of Texas
432
00:24:30,077 --> 00:24:32,122
is asking you to do today.
433
00:24:33,036 --> 00:24:34,864
Willingham wrote his own
death sentence
434
00:24:34,908 --> 00:24:36,562
when he killed those children.
435
00:24:39,086 --> 00:24:42,785
It is your duty to carry it out.
436
00:24:55,450 --> 00:24:56,582
Sit down, boy.
437
00:24:57,670 --> 00:24:59,236
Only been 40 minutes.
438
00:25:00,281 --> 00:25:02,196
Liberation could take days.
439
00:25:07,027 --> 00:25:08,507
Jury is coming in.
440
00:25:14,034 --> 00:25:16,515
Has the jury panel
reached a verdict?
441
00:25:18,038 --> 00:25:18,952
Yes, sir.
442
00:25:20,170 --> 00:25:20,606
Would you pass it
to the bailiff?
443
00:25:32,835 --> 00:25:34,445
Will the defendant rise?
444
00:25:41,627 --> 00:25:44,412
By your verdict in this case,
you, the jury,
445
00:25:44,455 --> 00:25:48,547
have found the defendant,
Cameron Todd Willingham,
446
00:25:49,156 --> 00:25:51,941
guilty of the offense of
capital murder,
447
00:25:51,985 --> 00:25:54,422
as charged in the indictment.
448
00:25:57,120 --> 00:25:59,383
Cameron Todd Willingham,
449
00:25:59,993 --> 00:26:02,299
by order of the State of Texas,
450
00:26:03,605 --> 00:26:06,390
-you are sentenced to death.
451
00:26:09,742 --> 00:26:13,093
This is Tower 4. I got eyes on
our boy on the dog run.
452
00:26:18,272 --> 00:26:19,839
Hey, hey, what's up, homie?
453
00:26:32,416 --> 00:26:35,419
- Fuck you, get inside
- All right, baby killer.
454
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,002
Now, this here is general
population.
455
00:26:53,046 --> 00:26:54,656
Get yourself a good hard look
456
00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:56,745
because you ain't never
gonna see a crowd again, boy.
457
00:26:56,789 --> 00:26:58,181
Hey, baby killer.
458
00:26:58,529 --> 00:27:01,489
Like killing babies?
Little bitch. You--
459
00:27:01,532 --> 00:27:02,621
Back up!
460
00:27:03,230 --> 00:27:04,710
Oh, you're a sweet one.
461
00:27:04,753 --> 00:27:06,450
You're gonna get yours,
baby killer.
462
00:27:11,717 --> 00:27:12,935
That's it, all right.
463
00:27:13,544 --> 00:27:15,764
The long walk to
the death chamber.
464
00:27:17,287 --> 00:27:19,725
The condemned, that's you,
baby killer,
465
00:27:20,290 --> 00:27:21,814
can have his family there,
466
00:27:22,162 --> 00:27:23,685
at least what's left of them
in your case.
467
00:27:23,729 --> 00:27:25,426
Ha-ha.
468
00:27:25,469 --> 00:27:27,080
You're gonna see it again,
I promise.
469
00:27:27,428 --> 00:27:30,561
-Welcome to death row.
470
00:27:30,779 --> 00:27:32,651
Yeah, I know you're listening,
baby killer.
471
00:27:33,042 --> 00:27:34,957
You wanna know what's coming,
you all do.
472
00:27:35,871 --> 00:27:37,046
It could be days.
473
00:27:37,612 --> 00:27:39,309
Shit, it could be years,
but somehow you guys
474
00:27:39,353 --> 00:27:41,007
-are always so surprised.
- Your move.
475
00:27:41,050 --> 00:27:43,270
It happens
just after your last meal.
476
00:27:43,313 --> 00:27:44,837
You can order any damn thing
you want.
477
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,795
I've seen one poor guy
ask for candy.
478
00:27:47,361 --> 00:27:50,364
What about you,
baby killer? What's your poison?
479
00:27:50,407 --> 00:27:53,497
Oh, poison! Injection.
480
00:27:53,541 --> 00:27:55,369
You get it? Get your ass
in there.
481
00:27:57,110 --> 00:27:58,589
-Unhook him.
- Let's go.
482
00:27:59,025 --> 00:28:01,288
First, we strap your ass
to that table,
483
00:28:01,767 --> 00:28:04,204
and then one of us
puts in the IV.
484
00:28:04,247 --> 00:28:05,727
Of course,
we don't always get it right.
485
00:28:05,771 --> 00:28:06,815
Sometimes the fella lays there
486
00:28:06,859 --> 00:28:09,035
just screaming in agony
for hours,
487
00:28:09,078 --> 00:28:10,601
begging to be put out of
his misery.
488
00:28:10,645 --> 00:28:11,690
What if I'm innocent?
489
00:28:13,996 --> 00:28:15,345
Nobody ever done it,
baby killer.
490
00:28:15,694 --> 00:28:17,870
No, it was their best friend
who done it, or...
491
00:28:19,045 --> 00:28:20,786
he didn't know the gun was
loaded, or...
492
00:28:21,525 --> 00:28:23,005
he was just trying to scare 'em.
493
00:28:23,876 --> 00:28:26,400
But, damn, you,
you just stood there
494
00:28:26,443 --> 00:28:28,054
and watched them babies burn.
495
00:28:28,097 --> 00:28:29,795
Now, that's cold.
496
00:28:35,235 --> 00:28:37,193
That's what I'm gonna do
for you, baby killer.
497
00:28:38,020 --> 00:28:39,282
I'm gonna stay there and watch.
498
00:28:40,675 --> 00:28:42,808
And when they pump that shit
inside of you...
499
00:28:44,897 --> 00:28:47,595
you are gonna burn
from the inside out.
500
00:28:47,987 --> 00:28:49,031
A-107.
501
00:29:08,921 --> 00:29:09,878
Hey!
502
00:29:10,183 --> 00:29:11,924
You that Willingham fella?
503
00:29:14,578 --> 00:29:17,190
You the boy that
burned them babies?
504
00:29:20,323 --> 00:29:23,326
Hey, we got something special
for you.
505
00:29:33,554 --> 00:29:34,555
Up through there.
506
00:29:36,557 --> 00:29:38,428
Hey, it's the baby killer.
507
00:29:39,778 --> 00:29:42,128
-What's up, bitch?
508
00:29:42,171 --> 00:29:43,433
Stop, face the wall.
509
00:29:44,957 --> 00:29:46,828
You get one shower every two
days, that's it.
510
00:29:52,660 --> 00:29:54,662
We got a fight
in the shower block.
511
00:29:58,884 --> 00:30:01,800
- Hey, come here, boy.
- Get him.
512
00:30:09,198 --> 00:30:10,547
Don't you fucking move.
513
00:30:10,591 --> 00:30:11,897
You got him?
Are we good?
514
00:30:15,726 --> 00:30:17,816
Let's see how
you like some alone time, boy.
515
00:30:19,252 --> 00:30:20,601
Son of a bitch can bleed.
516
00:30:20,906 --> 00:30:22,603
Ain't too pretty anymore.
517
00:30:24,518 --> 00:30:27,129
-Make him your bitch.
518
00:30:28,478 --> 00:30:29,610
Pick his ass up.
519
00:30:30,741 --> 00:30:32,961
-Piece of shit.
-Come on, get up.
520
00:30:34,136 --> 00:30:36,051
"I'm sorry, boss", say it.
521
00:30:37,052 --> 00:30:37,966
Say it.
522
00:30:47,584 --> 00:30:48,847
"I'm sorry, boss."
523
00:30:51,371 --> 00:30:52,241
Say it.
524
00:31:45,947 --> 00:31:47,470
What the fuck for?
525
00:32:04,966 --> 00:32:08,578
Y'all are treating me worse
than a damn animal!
526
00:32:09,014 --> 00:32:11,712
I wouldn't even treat my dog
like this.
527
00:32:13,105 --> 00:32:14,541
Get the fuck out of here, Todd.
528
00:32:14,584 --> 00:32:15,890
Go back to the bar and find
529
00:32:15,934 --> 00:32:16,847
some girl to suck on your dick.
530
00:32:16,891 --> 00:32:18,110
Get the fuck out of here.
531
00:32:18,588 --> 00:32:20,329
Get the fuck out of here, Todd.
532
00:32:20,677 --> 00:32:22,766
Who are you
cheating on me with, bitch?
533
00:32:22,810 --> 00:32:25,073
Everybody in the fucking town.
534
00:32:25,378 --> 00:32:27,206
-What's his name?
-The fuck up.
535
00:32:27,249 --> 00:32:28,729
You fucking whore.
536
00:32:28,772 --> 00:32:30,339
Come on, Todd, that's enough.
537
00:32:31,297 --> 00:32:34,126
Come on, baby. I love you
so much, you know that.
538
00:32:35,997 --> 00:32:37,825
See, you're not so bad.
539
00:32:38,347 --> 00:32:40,871
-Come on, baby, it's okay.
-Don't you move.
540
00:32:49,706 --> 00:32:52,535
Come over here, baby.
Come on.
541
00:32:54,233 --> 00:32:56,322
We both fucked up and...
542
00:32:57,149 --> 00:32:58,672
you fucked up too.
543
00:33:02,328 --> 00:33:03,633
Daddy!
544
00:33:08,334 --> 00:33:10,205
Daddy!
545
00:33:19,171 --> 00:33:21,303
Help! Help me!
546
00:33:38,190 --> 00:33:40,061
Y'all, take me out of here.
547
00:33:44,674 --> 00:33:47,590
I promise
I won't do anything bad again.
548
00:33:50,550 --> 00:33:52,117
I promise I'll be good.
549
00:34:30,285 --> 00:34:33,375
Mr. Daniels, may I have a pen
and paper?
550
00:34:33,419 --> 00:34:34,507
Say please.
551
00:34:35,290 --> 00:34:37,162
May I have a pen and paper,
please?
552
00:34:40,643 --> 00:34:42,776
May I have a pen and paper,
please, sir?
553
00:35:02,187 --> 00:35:06,582
Dear Stacy, I don't understand
why you won't come visit me.
554
00:35:07,235 --> 00:35:09,977
I've had a lot of time to think
about our life together.
555
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,241
"It already feels like
so long ago."
556
00:35:13,937 --> 00:35:15,765
Him again.
What's he want now?
557
00:35:15,809 --> 00:35:16,897
Grandma, lay off.
558
00:35:21,771 --> 00:35:23,599
"I have not been good.
559
00:35:24,209 --> 00:35:26,994
I suppose I'm paying for that
now.
560
00:35:28,735 --> 00:35:29,736
But why sh...
561
00:35:31,085 --> 00:35:33,609
Why should I be punished
for a thing I did not do?
562
00:35:35,829 --> 00:35:38,179
You know I would never hurt
those babies."
563
00:35:38,223 --> 00:35:39,920
You tell him to leave you be.
564
00:35:40,486 --> 00:35:43,271
He was a wicked child
that became a wicked man.
565
00:35:43,315 --> 00:35:45,099
And if you'd figured that out
a little sooner,
566
00:35:45,143 --> 00:35:46,840
I might still be a grandmother.
567
00:35:46,883 --> 00:35:48,537
If he killed anybody,
it would have been me.
568
00:35:50,148 --> 00:35:51,149
You know what,
569
00:35:52,541 --> 00:35:53,890
I'm gonna write a letter
to Governor Anne Richards
570
00:35:53,934 --> 00:35:55,022
and tell her how much he loved
his little girls.
571
00:35:55,065 --> 00:35:57,155
Well, that's just great, Stacy.
572
00:35:57,851 --> 00:35:59,505
I'm gonna go write a letter
to Santa.
573
00:36:13,214 --> 00:36:14,955
That's my favorite, Stacy.
574
00:36:15,434 --> 00:36:17,305
Oh, yeah? What a surprise.
575
00:36:20,743 --> 00:36:21,918
Who was that?
576
00:36:23,398 --> 00:36:25,879
You just look real nice
this time of day.
577
00:36:26,706 --> 00:36:27,968
Thank you, Todd.
578
00:36:29,361 --> 00:36:30,536
Wrote you a song.
579
00:36:31,276 --> 00:36:32,625
Oh, yeah?
How does it go?
580
00:36:32,668 --> 00:36:35,497
-Wanna hear it?
-Sure, why not?
581
00:36:37,978 --> 00:36:39,501
♪ Don't go to work
582
00:36:40,546 --> 00:36:42,069
♪ Don't put on your shirt
583
00:36:43,984 --> 00:36:46,639
♪ Leave it alone
That little skirt ♪
584
00:36:48,293 --> 00:36:49,816
♪ Come back to bed
585
00:36:50,860 --> 00:36:52,253
♪ Give a little head
586
00:36:54,777 --> 00:36:57,780
♪ We can spend our whole life
Rolling in the dirt ♪
587
00:36:59,739 --> 00:37:01,915
-Do you like it?
-I like some parts of it.
588
00:37:01,958 --> 00:37:04,309
-Which parts of it do you like?
-Take a wild guess.
589
00:37:04,918 --> 00:37:06,267
Rolling in the dirt?
590
00:37:07,050 --> 00:37:08,226
Before that.
591
00:37:08,878 --> 00:37:10,140
Part where you're nice
and sweet--
592
00:37:10,184 --> 00:37:11,490
What are you doing, Todd?
593
00:37:12,491 --> 00:37:13,927
Come on,
you're just trying to show off.
594
00:37:13,970 --> 00:37:15,276
One more time, come on.
595
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,060
-I gotta go.
-Come on.
596
00:37:20,455 --> 00:37:22,240
You're like a 12-year-old boy.
597
00:37:32,119 --> 00:37:33,251
I give in.
598
00:37:38,430 --> 00:37:39,561
Dear Stacy,
599
00:37:41,128 --> 00:37:42,912
I don't understand why you
won't answer my letters.
600
00:37:44,087 --> 00:37:46,002
I know you can never get over
what happened,
601
00:37:46,046 --> 00:37:47,874
but I lost everything, too.
602
00:37:48,483 --> 00:37:52,618
Not just the kids
and you and our home,
603
00:37:52,966 --> 00:37:55,055
but pretty soon now, my life.
604
00:37:58,841 --> 00:38:01,191
- All right, walk.
-They have given the needle
605
00:38:01,235 --> 00:38:04,194
to at least one of us every
month since I've been here.
606
00:38:04,717 --> 00:38:06,066
God bless you, brother.
607
00:38:06,109 --> 00:38:07,328
Hang in there, bro.
608
00:38:08,634 --> 00:38:09,896
We'll be praying for you.
609
00:38:12,072 --> 00:38:13,334
Be strong.
610
00:38:19,122 --> 00:38:20,036
I'd like to believe
611
00:38:21,386 --> 00:38:22,212
that even in a terrible place
like this
612
00:38:22,256 --> 00:38:23,170
there may be some good.
613
00:38:24,476 --> 00:38:26,521
But all I see is cruelty
and suffering.
614
00:38:26,869 --> 00:38:28,915
Everybody pretty much hates it
the same.
615
00:38:30,395 --> 00:38:33,615
...And we will be raised
in pairs.
616
00:38:33,876 --> 00:38:36,314
And death will be swallowed
in victory.
617
00:38:36,923 --> 00:38:39,186
- Come here.
- Where's your victory?
618
00:38:39,404 --> 00:38:42,494
Death, where is--
will you let me fucking walk?
619
00:38:42,755 --> 00:38:44,800
-Will you let me fucking walk?
-Chill the fuck out.
620
00:38:44,844 --> 00:38:46,149
Let me walk
like a fucking man.
621
00:38:47,455 --> 00:38:48,717
Stand tall, bro.
622
00:38:48,761 --> 00:38:51,416
Oh, God! Oh, God!
623
00:38:51,459 --> 00:38:53,592
Let me fucking walk,
you bastard!
624
00:38:54,201 --> 00:38:58,074
Hey, baby killer! Baby killer!
625
00:39:00,468 --> 00:39:01,687
Hey, white boy.
626
00:39:04,298 --> 00:39:05,821
Yo, asshole!
627
00:39:05,865 --> 00:39:07,736
What's your problem, man?
I'm talking to you.
628
00:39:07,780 --> 00:39:09,390
You think I'm stupid
or something, boy?
629
00:39:09,434 --> 00:39:10,391
Boy?
630
00:39:11,566 --> 00:39:13,089
-Come again?
-If I say anything to you,
631
00:39:13,133 --> 00:39:14,961
you're gonna start saying
I confess some shit,
632
00:39:15,004 --> 00:39:16,963
get a reduced sentence,
fuck that!
633
00:39:17,006 --> 00:39:18,660
Hey, listen good, sugar.
634
00:39:20,053 --> 00:39:24,144
They get you here,
they got you good.
635
00:39:25,667 --> 00:39:27,365
Confession make you feel better?
636
00:39:27,974 --> 00:39:29,062
Huh, sweet thing?
637
00:39:30,455 --> 00:39:31,456
All right.
638
00:39:33,545 --> 00:39:35,285
I knocked over a jewelry store.
639
00:39:36,939 --> 00:39:38,288
Kind of hit a leak.
640
00:39:38,811 --> 00:39:41,161
Oh, God. He reached under
the counter for a piece
641
00:39:41,204 --> 00:39:43,772
and I shot him in the head.
642
00:39:46,906 --> 00:39:47,994
I was high.
643
00:39:49,735 --> 00:39:53,216
And I am guilty, but murder one,
644
00:39:53,869 --> 00:39:56,568
shit, that is manslaughter
at the most.
645
00:39:57,264 --> 00:39:58,526
But this is Texas.
646
00:40:00,136 --> 00:40:03,052
You know why they call
it capital punishment? Huh?
647
00:40:03,705 --> 00:40:06,273
Hey, you ain't got no capital,
you get punished.
648
00:40:06,316 --> 00:40:08,057
-That's right.
- Shit.
649
00:40:08,536 --> 00:40:10,320
Now, don't tell me
that ain't your story too,
650
00:40:10,364 --> 00:40:13,323
because I know that sorry ass,
state-appointed lawyer of yours.
651
00:40:13,367 --> 00:40:14,281
Huh?
652
00:40:15,674 --> 00:40:16,849
Plumbers
ain't no different from lawyers.
653
00:40:16,892 --> 00:40:18,328
There's good ones
and there's bad ones.
654
00:40:18,372 --> 00:40:21,680
But you know what, poor folks
always get the bad ones.
655
00:40:22,376 --> 00:40:23,856
Just like my granddaddy
always said,
656
00:40:23,899 --> 00:40:26,554
everybody gets the same
amount of ice,
657
00:40:26,598 --> 00:40:28,774
except rich folks get it
in the summer.
658
00:40:29,078 --> 00:40:32,342
Of course, you could try to
become a cause célèbre
659
00:40:32,386 --> 00:40:33,343
or some such shit.
660
00:40:33,561 --> 00:40:35,911
Might even be worth some
publicity.
661
00:40:35,955 --> 00:40:38,566
You can get you one of them
fancy pants, white shoe boys
662
00:40:38,610 --> 00:40:39,828
willing to do it for free.
663
00:40:39,872 --> 00:40:40,742
By the end,
664
00:40:42,265 --> 00:40:43,092
who knows if you got enough time
left to make a difference.
665
00:40:43,136 --> 00:40:44,790
-Hold up.
- What?
666
00:40:44,833 --> 00:40:47,314
You saying I can get me
a new lawyer with no money?
667
00:40:47,357 --> 00:40:50,317
Yeah, boy.
Now, you just write up a letter
668
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:54,321
about your situation and send it
to the Texas Equal Justice
669
00:40:54,364 --> 00:40:56,802
and that should do it.
That's initiative.
670
00:40:56,845 --> 00:41:01,110
I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-V to the E.
671
00:41:01,154 --> 00:41:03,461
T-I-V to the E.
672
00:41:05,463 --> 00:41:07,334
So, you say your previous
counsel,
673
00:41:07,377 --> 00:41:10,250
failed to capitalize
on numerous opportunities
674
00:41:10,293 --> 00:41:12,208
to reach the prosecutions'
witnesses?
675
00:41:12,861 --> 00:41:15,385
Or to present any viable
alternative
676
00:41:15,908 --> 00:41:17,997
to their theories of your
culpability?
677
00:41:20,608 --> 00:41:21,914
He did a shit sorry job.
678
00:41:22,654 --> 00:41:23,698
Sold you down the river.
679
00:41:25,744 --> 00:41:27,354
This is your trial transcript.
680
00:41:27,833 --> 00:41:31,619
And just a few books,
might be helpful.
681
00:41:32,359 --> 00:41:33,403
Homework.
682
00:41:34,666 --> 00:41:36,363
I'm preparing
a writ of habeas corpus,
683
00:41:36,406 --> 00:41:38,060
also known as "The great writ."
684
00:41:38,931 --> 00:41:40,585
We're allowed to present
new evidence,
685
00:41:40,628 --> 00:41:42,369
if we can find some, that is.
686
00:41:43,022 --> 00:41:46,939
Do you have any, you know,
resources to help us?
687
00:41:47,374 --> 00:41:49,637
Someone who'll pay
for a private investigator?
688
00:41:49,681 --> 00:41:52,118
Your wife or family?
689
00:41:52,161 --> 00:41:53,989
-No, sir.
-All right.
690
00:41:54,816 --> 00:41:56,252
Well, we'll figure something
out.
691
00:41:57,906 --> 00:41:59,560
We need to find something
in your trial
692
00:41:59,604 --> 00:42:00,953
that demonstrates negligence.
693
00:42:01,431 --> 00:42:03,303
That's harder to do
once you've been convicted.
694
00:42:03,912 --> 00:42:05,523
I need you to go through
the transcript
695
00:42:06,001 --> 00:42:07,525
and find anything questionable.
696
00:42:07,786 --> 00:42:09,091
Okay, can you do that?
697
00:42:10,571 --> 00:42:12,921
I think I'll squeeze it
into my very hectic schedule.
698
00:42:14,706 --> 00:42:17,535
This writ could be your last
chance.
699
00:42:18,231 --> 00:42:19,580
And a slim one at that.
700
00:42:26,631 --> 00:42:30,548
Hey, Metallica. I can
practically hear you reading.
701
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,812
Give that a rest,
let me beat you at Crazy Eights.
702
00:42:33,855 --> 00:42:35,465
This is making my head hurt.
703
00:42:35,509 --> 00:42:36,858
They make it that way
on purpose.
704
00:42:36,902 --> 00:42:38,251
Keep out dummies
like us.
705
00:42:38,294 --> 00:42:40,079
There's some crazy ass words
in here, bro.
706
00:42:40,601 --> 00:42:43,909
-Contemptuous, colloquially.
- Spell that shit
707
00:42:43,952 --> 00:42:45,519
-without looking.
-Analogous.
708
00:42:45,563 --> 00:42:47,695
-Did I even say it right?
709
00:42:48,087 --> 00:42:49,784
-Meticulous.
-Uh-huh.
710
00:42:49,828 --> 00:42:50,916
Interwoven.
711
00:42:52,178 --> 00:42:53,005
Now, I'm gonna drop
some knowledge for you.
712
00:42:54,223 --> 00:42:56,704
That first appeal,
it might not go nowhere.
713
00:42:57,096 --> 00:42:58,184
They ain't gonna overturn
714
00:42:58,227 --> 00:42:59,620
their hunting buddy's
conviction.
715
00:42:59,664 --> 00:43:01,840
You might have a chance
with the Fifth Circuit.
716
00:43:01,883 --> 00:43:03,624
What about this Supreme Court
shit?
717
00:43:03,668 --> 00:43:05,887
You kidding? If it leans
any more to the right
718
00:43:05,931 --> 00:43:06,932
it'll tip over.
719
00:43:08,107 --> 00:43:09,108
These books
keep talking about justice
720
00:43:09,151 --> 00:43:10,239
like it's something real.
721
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:12,198
Man, there ain't
no justice in the system.
722
00:43:13,460 --> 00:43:15,027
And there ain't none in this
life, either.
723
00:43:17,159 --> 00:43:19,118
You know, why was I born black?
724
00:43:20,206 --> 00:43:21,076
Hmm?
725
00:43:21,729 --> 00:43:23,078
Yeah, black as hell.
726
00:43:23,644 --> 00:43:25,777
And why was y'all born poor
and stupid?
727
00:43:26,038 --> 00:43:27,648
Can't I be born poor and smart?
728
00:43:27,692 --> 00:43:29,607
No, man,
it's a lie, bro.
729
00:43:30,695 --> 00:43:32,522
What if somebody
really is innocent?
730
00:43:32,566 --> 00:43:34,002
It ain't got nothing to do
with it.
731
00:43:35,830 --> 00:43:37,963
Death penalty's good politics.
732
00:43:39,181 --> 00:43:40,922
As a matter of fact,
in an election year,
733
00:43:40,966 --> 00:43:42,794
they always kill
twice as many of us.
734
00:43:43,359 --> 00:43:44,839
That's politics for your ass.
735
00:43:44,883 --> 00:43:46,449
-For real?
-Yeah.
736
00:43:46,493 --> 00:43:49,888
Your candy ass politicians feel
like real men killing folks.
737
00:43:49,931 --> 00:43:51,280
Take your hand, bro.
738
00:44:00,376 --> 00:44:02,901
-Right on, brother.
739
00:44:07,514 --> 00:44:08,689
Stay strong!
740
00:44:08,733 --> 00:44:10,082
Second and five,
741
00:44:10,125 --> 00:44:12,040
ball on the 38th.
Hand off to Smith...
742
00:44:12,084 --> 00:44:14,260
-Go!
-Come on, baby. Come on.
743
00:44:14,303 --> 00:44:15,696
-Go!
-Yeah, do it!
744
00:44:15,740 --> 00:44:18,003
-Run! Run, boy!
-Go right there.
745
00:44:18,046 --> 00:44:20,266
-Run, boy!
-That's gone, right there!
746
00:44:20,309 --> 00:44:21,310
Yeah!
747
00:44:23,617 --> 00:44:26,402
Dallas Cowboys,
touchdown!
748
00:44:26,446 --> 00:44:28,927
And the Cowboys take the lead
for the first time.
749
00:44:28,970 --> 00:44:31,103
Woo! Heck yeah!
750
00:44:31,146 --> 00:44:32,800
They don't know about
that Southern ground, baby.
751
00:44:32,844 --> 00:44:35,847
-Come on, let's go!
-I got you.
752
00:44:35,890 --> 00:44:37,022
How about them boys?
753
00:44:43,202 --> 00:44:45,770
Hey.
Thanks for covering my shift.
754
00:44:46,074 --> 00:44:47,815
-Yeah, you owe me, bitch.
-Oh, man.
755
00:44:47,859 --> 00:44:50,122
You would've skinned my ass
alive on this Becky party.
756
00:44:50,165 --> 00:44:52,733
We had a clown, a cake,
the whole nine fucking yards.
757
00:44:52,777 --> 00:44:54,735
I was serving ice cream
to little princesses.
758
00:44:54,779 --> 00:44:57,303
-It was pretty good.
-Get out of there, Willingham.
759
00:44:57,346 --> 00:44:59,218
-Yeah, boss.
-Hurry up.
760
00:44:59,261 --> 00:45:00,480
Hurrying up, boss.
761
00:45:01,350 --> 00:45:02,830
I'm in a real hurry.
762
00:45:04,179 --> 00:45:05,920
Real hurry to go do nothing.
763
00:45:07,617 --> 00:45:09,576
You fucking listening to me,
baby burner?
764
00:45:10,490 --> 00:45:12,405
-What? No--
-Huh?
765
00:45:13,232 --> 00:45:14,799
Yes, boss, I was.
766
00:45:14,842 --> 00:45:17,323
-You fucking pervert.
-Take it easy, he's on my watch.
767
00:45:17,366 --> 00:45:19,978
I don't give a shit. I don't
want his sicko ears on my kids.
768
00:45:20,021 --> 00:45:22,937
Look at me, why you so fucking
interested in my life, huh?
769
00:45:24,417 --> 00:45:25,723
Come on, man.
Let's go.
770
00:45:32,207 --> 00:45:34,427
Sunday was
my daughter's birthday, too.
771
00:45:42,478 --> 00:45:44,089
I woulda killed
the motherfucker.
772
00:45:45,133 --> 00:45:47,396
What are they gonna do,
put you on death row?
773
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,181
He's just a screw, Ponch.
774
00:45:50,138 --> 00:45:51,966
Probably got picked on
at school.
775
00:45:54,055 --> 00:45:55,491
Says he's got a daughter.
776
00:45:59,278 --> 00:46:00,279
Ponch.
777
00:46:02,150 --> 00:46:03,151
Ponchai.
778
00:46:08,287 --> 00:46:09,462
What's up, Ponch?
779
00:46:13,422 --> 00:46:14,467
I...
780
00:46:17,035 --> 00:46:18,384
I got my date today.
781
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,430
They're moving me
to the observation cell.
782
00:46:22,910 --> 00:46:24,782
Scared I'm gonna kill myself.
783
00:46:25,739 --> 00:46:26,958
Shit, Ponch.
784
00:46:29,830 --> 00:46:31,049
It is what it is.
785
00:46:34,792 --> 00:46:36,706
Shit, I'm thinking...
786
00:46:37,403 --> 00:46:38,317
uh...
787
00:46:39,927 --> 00:46:41,799
two orders of onion rings to go
with my chicken fried steak.
788
00:46:43,452 --> 00:46:45,367
Smothered in Texas pea.
789
00:46:46,325 --> 00:46:48,631
One of them, you know,
strawberry milkshakes.
790
00:46:48,675 --> 00:46:51,634
Shit. I'm gon' throw up all over
the damn place.
791
00:47:13,091 --> 00:47:15,441
Lord, give me the courage
to take my...
792
00:47:22,491 --> 00:47:26,713
No, no, no, let go off me.
Get off me, get off me!
793
00:47:26,756 --> 00:47:28,062
Come on!
794
00:47:28,106 --> 00:47:30,848
It's not my time yet, man!
It's not my time!
795
00:47:31,109 --> 00:47:33,763
No! No!
796
00:47:33,807 --> 00:47:34,895
Not yet!
797
00:47:34,939 --> 00:47:36,592
Let's go, brother.
Let's go, brother.
798
00:47:36,636 --> 00:47:39,073
-I can't do it. No, man.
-Yes, you can, Ponch. You can.
799
00:47:39,117 --> 00:47:40,596
-No, I can't.
-Yes, you can, brother.
800
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:41,684
Stand tall now, brother.
801
00:47:41,728 --> 00:47:43,251
-No!
-Let's go, Ponch.
802
00:47:43,295 --> 00:47:45,471
They don't get this work.
That's two for you, baby.
803
00:47:45,514 --> 00:47:47,342
- Hey, it's Ponchai!
- Ponchai James.
804
00:47:47,386 --> 00:47:49,736
- It's all you, brother!
-Ponchai Ja...
805
00:47:49,779 --> 00:47:51,390
Ponchai James!
806
00:47:51,433 --> 00:47:52,478
He's the man!
807
00:47:52,521 --> 00:47:53,740
Let's go, Ponch.
808
00:47:53,783 --> 00:47:55,176
-Let's go, brother.
- Ponchai James.
809
00:47:55,220 --> 00:47:56,351
-All right.
- Go, baby.
810
00:47:56,395 --> 00:47:58,571
Ponchai James.
811
00:47:58,614 --> 00:48:00,660
Oh, they gonna remember you,
Ponch.
812
00:48:00,703 --> 00:48:02,009
Ponch!

Hey.
819
00:49:01,895 --> 00:49:03,114
You need some help?
820
00:49:05,551 --> 00:49:06,987
So, are you from around here?
821
00:49:11,078 --> 00:49:12,558
Why'd you stop back there?
822
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,518
Oh, I didn't think you were
dangerous.
823
00:49:17,128 --> 00:49:19,260
Figured I could take you
one on one.
824
00:49:22,002 --> 00:49:23,221
You weren't scared?
825
00:49:23,830 --> 00:49:26,137
-What?
-You weren't scared?
826
00:49:27,007 --> 00:49:28,791
Of you? Why?
827
00:49:29,140 --> 00:49:30,141
Why not?
828
00:49:32,665 --> 00:49:34,536
I guess I just didn't think
about it.
829
00:49:35,668 --> 00:49:37,104
Thank you so much.
830
00:49:37,148 --> 00:49:38,584
Oh, thank you.
831
00:49:38,627 --> 00:49:40,107
Can't you stay a moment more?
832
00:49:41,021 --> 00:49:43,545
You might be just the kind
of person we're looking for.
833
00:49:44,503 --> 00:49:47,549
Oh, you're scared now?
834
00:49:48,942 --> 00:49:52,859
Well, I'm a little weirded out,
to tell you the truth.
835
00:49:53,773 --> 00:49:55,775
-What you want from me?
-Your address.
836
00:49:56,471 --> 00:49:58,821
-What for?
-I wanna send you something.
837
00:49:58,865 --> 00:50:00,562
Oh, you don't need to
send me anything.
838
00:50:00,606 --> 00:50:02,347
Well, I wanna return the favor.
839
00:50:02,825 --> 00:50:05,002
I think you and I were intended
to meet.
840
00:50:06,264 --> 00:50:09,049
So, was she, like,
a crazy person or--
841
00:50:09,093 --> 00:50:10,964
Why did she want
your address?
842
00:50:11,312 --> 00:50:15,447
Well, she said somebody might
wanna write me a letter.
843
00:50:15,708 --> 00:50:17,362
-Who?
-A prisoner.
844
00:50:18,798 --> 00:50:20,495
-What?
-Nothing.
845
00:50:20,539 --> 00:50:23,063
- What?
-Just classic Liz.
846
00:50:23,107 --> 00:50:25,805
-Oh, here we go.
-The abandoned kittens,
847
00:50:26,066 --> 00:50:28,155
the homeless family
at the truck stop.
848
00:50:28,199 --> 00:50:29,504
Oh, my God.
849
00:50:29,548 --> 00:50:31,419
The starving African kids
on TV.
850
00:50:31,463 --> 00:50:34,422
-Okay. Gullible, bleeding heart.
-Oh, I'm not saying that.
851
00:50:34,466 --> 00:50:35,858
You called me St. Liz
for a decade.
852
00:50:35,902 --> 00:50:37,730
Well, that's not what I think.
853
00:50:39,123 --> 00:50:41,603
We're well past lying, George,
aren't we?
854
00:50:43,605 --> 00:50:46,565
So, yesterday, I got a letter.
855
00:50:46,608 --> 00:50:49,307
-Hey, Mom.
-Hey, girl, how was school?
856
00:50:50,569 --> 00:50:51,918
Earth to Julie.
857
00:50:52,788 --> 00:50:55,052
-Sorry?
-Never mind.
858
00:50:55,095 --> 00:50:56,618
-Love you.
-Love you, too.
859
00:50:58,359 --> 00:51:04,061
And it said, "Dear Ms. Gilbert,
I got your address from TCADP.
860
00:51:04,104 --> 00:51:07,803
I was told that you might be
willing to correspond
861
00:51:08,369 --> 00:51:10,458
with someone such as myself."
862
00:51:10,502 --> 00:51:12,808
What is that, the TAD,
whatever?
863
00:51:12,852 --> 00:51:13,983
TCADP.
864
00:51:15,289 --> 00:51:17,030
Texas Coalition
to Abolish the Death Penalty.
865
00:51:17,074 --> 00:51:18,292
How'd you get involved in that?
866
00:51:18,336 --> 00:51:20,729
The lady who asked
for my address.
867
00:51:21,382 --> 00:51:23,689
-You don't listen to me.
-No, I was listening.
868
00:51:23,732 --> 00:51:25,430
-What did he do?
-Never mind.
869
00:51:25,473 --> 00:51:27,649
Oh, come on, Liz
Come on.
870
00:51:27,693 --> 00:51:29,086
Why is he on death row?
871
00:51:29,477 --> 00:51:30,609
He...
872
00:51:32,045 --> 00:51:34,265
He burned down his house
with his kids inside.
873
00:51:34,308 --> 00:51:36,136
-That's charming.
874
00:51:36,702 --> 00:51:39,270
-All right. Here.
875
00:51:45,145 --> 00:51:47,669
So, why exactly
are you doing this?
876
00:51:47,713 --> 00:51:49,280
I didn't say I was doing it.
877
00:51:49,323 --> 00:51:50,803
But you're thinking about it.
878
00:51:51,195 --> 00:51:55,286
Well, can't I just not know?
I don't know.
879
00:51:55,329 --> 00:51:58,593
Isn't looking after one person
with a death sentence enough?
880
00:52:02,293 --> 00:52:04,251
-I'm sorry.
881
00:52:06,123 --> 00:52:10,605
So, are you and the kids okay?
Money and everything.
882
00:52:11,606 --> 00:52:13,086
-Yeah.
-Well, if you need anything,
883
00:52:13,130 --> 00:52:15,393
-just...
-Your check comes on time.
884
00:52:16,916 --> 00:52:18,570
And we talked all that out.
885
00:52:20,789 --> 00:52:22,748
-I failed you, Liz.
886
00:52:23,836 --> 00:52:25,359
And yet, you're here for me.
887
00:52:26,578 --> 00:52:28,449
If thing's were the other way
around,
888
00:52:29,102 --> 00:52:30,625
would I be there for you?
889
00:52:32,845 --> 00:52:34,803
Do we get off that sow
or just admit the truth?
890
00:52:38,851 --> 00:52:39,895
How are you...
891
00:52:41,332 --> 00:52:42,246
really?
892
00:52:49,557 --> 00:52:51,559
-Mama, you forgot the milk.
893
00:52:51,603 --> 00:52:53,692
-I'm going to the market later.
-Okay.
894
00:52:53,735 --> 00:52:55,998
-Mom, what are reading there?
-Letter from a guy in jail
895
00:52:56,042 --> 00:52:57,174
-who kills babies.
-Julie.
896
00:52:58,653 --> 00:52:59,915
What, are you writing
a play about him or something?
897
00:52:59,959 --> 00:53:02,527
No, sweetie, there's a man
who is in prison--
898
00:53:02,570 --> 00:53:04,616
-He wants Mama to visit him.
-Seriously?
899
00:53:05,269 --> 00:53:07,793
A lot of people visit inmates,
and I'm not saying that I'm--
900
00:53:07,836 --> 00:53:09,925
You know they're gonna poison
him to death, right?
901
00:53:09,969 --> 00:53:12,058
-He deserves it.
-You got somewhere to be,
902
00:53:12,101 --> 00:53:13,886
like, school, and maybe
clean your mess up?
903
00:53:13,929 --> 00:53:15,322
Mama, I know
what the death penalty is--
904
00:53:15,366 --> 00:53:16,976
I can't believe you're actually
thinking about
905
00:53:17,019 --> 00:53:18,020
visiting a murderer.
906
00:53:18,064 --> 00:53:19,152
-I didn't say--
-That is so gross.
907
00:53:19,196 --> 00:53:20,153
I didn't say he was innocent.
908
00:53:21,589 --> 00:53:22,634
-Okay, then what are you saying?
-He's a human being.
909
00:53:23,852 --> 00:53:25,463
Okay, I'm late.
Dave's gonna drop me.
910
00:53:25,506 --> 00:53:27,029
So, are you seeing your dad,
later?
911
00:53:27,378 --> 00:53:28,553
No, the Gremlins will be there.
912
00:53:28,596 --> 00:53:30,772
Well, they are your
brother and sister.
913
00:53:32,296 --> 00:53:33,253
What?
914
00:53:33,775 --> 00:53:34,994
Fine. I'll go.
915
00:53:35,429 --> 00:53:36,822
All right.
Am I getting you later?
916
00:53:36,865 --> 00:53:38,258
No,
Dave's gonna drive me.
917
00:53:38,302 --> 00:53:39,868
Well, will you call me,
please, miss?
918
00:53:39,912 --> 00:53:41,174
Mom, I got soccer practice
till 6:00
919
00:53:41,218 --> 00:53:42,784
-and I'm taking the bus.
-Okay, well I thought
920
00:53:42,828 --> 00:53:44,003
-I was getting you.
- Bye.
921
00:53:44,046 --> 00:53:45,222
What about oatmeal?
922
00:53:48,921 --> 00:53:51,489
Death row inmates
aren't allowed to associate
923
00:53:51,532 --> 00:53:53,142
with the general population.
924
00:53:54,056 --> 00:53:56,798
We have no contact at all
with the outside.
925
00:53:56,842 --> 00:53:59,236
No one in the whole world knows
I exist.
926
00:53:59,801 --> 00:54:02,239
I feel like I'm slowly being
erased.
927
00:54:04,284 --> 00:54:05,677
Please excuse my writing,
928
00:54:06,678 --> 00:54:08,723
I'm learning to express myself
better.
929
00:54:09,898 --> 00:54:11,900
I've added your name
to my visitor's list
930
00:54:11,944 --> 00:54:13,467
in case you
decide to come.
931
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,992
Meantime, I hope your
life turns forever forward.
932
00:54:17,602 --> 00:54:19,647
Yours, Cameron Todd Willingham.
933
00:54:40,233 --> 00:54:42,975
Hello, sir, I'm here to see
Cameron Todd Willingham.
934
00:54:49,895 --> 00:54:50,983
Come, miss.
935
00:55:15,312 --> 00:55:17,226
Thank you for coming,
Mrs. Gilbert.
936
00:55:17,879 --> 00:55:19,098
It's really nice to meet you.
937
00:55:19,141 --> 00:55:21,013
Oh, nice to meet you too,
Cameron.
938
00:55:21,405 --> 00:55:22,754
Folks call me Todd.
939
00:55:23,494 --> 00:55:25,365
Oh, yeah? Todd.
940
00:55:25,713 --> 00:55:28,063
I really appreciate you
coming all this way.
941
00:55:29,935 --> 00:55:31,893
-You're in Houston, right?
-Yeah.
942
00:55:32,720 --> 00:55:35,157
-How was the drive?
-Oh, it was fine.
943
00:55:35,201 --> 00:55:39,510
Well, some traffic, you know,
Houston Freeway has become...
944
00:55:41,599 --> 00:55:42,730
crazy.
945
00:55:44,732 --> 00:55:48,170
You know, you're my first
visitor in a long time.
946
00:55:48,780 --> 00:55:49,781
Am I?
947
00:55:51,130 --> 00:55:52,218
Well, good.
948
00:55:53,132 --> 00:55:55,917
I guess. And why is that?
949
00:55:58,137 --> 00:56:02,489
-I...
-I mean, your wife comes?
950
00:56:03,272 --> 00:56:05,187
No, Stacy and me
ain't together no more.
951
00:56:05,231 --> 00:56:06,232
Oh...
952
00:56:07,015 --> 00:56:09,148
I guess I understand,
it's just...
953
00:56:11,890 --> 00:56:13,370
I miss her, is all.
954
00:56:15,023 --> 00:56:16,111
Sorry.
955
00:56:17,635 --> 00:56:19,114
How about your folks?
956
00:56:20,028 --> 00:56:21,465
They're in Oklahoma, ma'am.
957
00:56:22,727 --> 00:56:24,206
It's 200 miles each way.
958
00:56:26,426 --> 00:56:27,775
And my folks is old.
959
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:29,821
And my mom's ailing, so...
960
00:56:31,997 --> 00:56:33,259
They come when they can.
961
00:56:35,479 --> 00:56:38,177
Well, how about you tell me
about...
962
00:56:39,483 --> 00:56:42,311
your life here,
what it's like or...
963
00:56:42,355 --> 00:56:45,358
-Not much to tell, really.
-Mm, right.
964
00:56:47,142 --> 00:56:49,797
Any comforts or, I don't know?
965
00:56:50,537 --> 00:56:51,582
In jail?
966
00:56:52,670 --> 00:56:53,758
No, ma'am.
967
00:56:56,848 --> 00:57:00,417
I'm sorry, Todd.
I don't know-- I don't know...
968
00:57:01,113 --> 00:57:03,376
what to ask or how to...
969
00:57:04,986 --> 00:57:10,078
If I-- If I--
If I make it harder to talk.
970
00:57:10,122 --> 00:57:15,127
No, ma'am. How about you?
Tell me about the outside world.
971
00:57:16,563 --> 00:57:18,609
Maybe I can get out
of this place for a while.
972
00:57:19,261 --> 00:57:22,482
Oh, all right, sure.
973
00:57:22,526 --> 00:57:25,790
But maybe you call me Elizabeth,
because when you say ma'am,
974
00:57:25,833 --> 00:57:28,096
it makes me feel like
you're talking to my mama.
975
00:57:31,012 --> 00:57:32,536
-Elizabeth.
-Okay.
976
00:57:33,014 --> 00:57:36,583
Well, um... let's see.
977
00:57:37,628 --> 00:57:40,761
-You married?
-Me? Divorced, actually.
978
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:42,676
-Kids?
-Two.
979
00:57:43,851 --> 00:57:45,331
Andrew and Julie.
980
00:57:45,810 --> 00:57:47,507
-Boy and a girl.
-Yeah.
981
00:57:47,551 --> 00:57:49,988
-That's nice.
-Yeah, yeah.
982
00:57:52,469 --> 00:57:55,384
My big girl, Amber,
she'd be 11 by now.
983
00:57:58,562 --> 00:58:00,868
And Karmen and Kameron,
they'd be nine.
984
00:58:01,565 --> 00:58:02,783
They was twins.
985
00:58:04,306 --> 00:58:06,395
Twins? Oof!
986
00:58:06,831 --> 00:58:09,181
-That's something, huh?
-Yes, ma'am.
987
00:58:09,224 --> 00:58:10,225
Elizabeth.
988
00:58:11,444 --> 00:58:14,012
Oh, you ever tried
diapering two at once?
989
00:58:14,055 --> 00:58:15,230
-No.
-Oo-ee.
990
00:58:15,883 --> 00:58:17,929
Stacy used to say it was like
trying to
991
00:58:17,972 --> 00:58:19,931
grab a hold of two little
greased piggies
992
00:58:19,974 --> 00:58:21,454
at the state fair.
993
00:58:31,072 --> 00:58:33,771
Oh, they was the most beautiful
babies in the whole world.
994
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:42,954
They're all different,
but cut from the same cloth.
995
00:58:44,956 --> 00:58:46,958
Now, Kameron, she was smart.
996
00:58:47,001 --> 00:58:49,526
She had, like,
a routine that she stuck to.
997
00:58:50,439 --> 00:58:52,877
And if anybody disturbed it,
and she didn't like it,
998
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:54,879
she would let the whole of Texas
know about it.
999
00:58:54,922 --> 00:58:57,403
Karmen, she was--
She was more like me.
1000
00:58:57,969 --> 00:59:00,319
And Amber, she was a great
big sister.
1001
00:59:00,362 --> 00:59:03,714
She went from redecorating
her sister's room to...
1002
00:59:04,932 --> 00:59:07,456
turning around to me one time,
and saying, "Daddy,
1003
00:59:07,718 --> 00:59:11,112
I love the new babies, but when
are they going home now?"
1004
00:59:22,907 --> 00:59:25,039
Gosh, I tell you
I wanna hear about the world
1005
00:59:25,083 --> 00:59:26,737
and I end up doing
all the talking.
1006
00:59:27,128 --> 00:59:28,477
Oh, that's fine.
1007
00:59:29,870 --> 00:59:32,307
Well, I'm sorry.
I guess, it's just been a while.
1008
00:59:33,352 --> 00:59:34,832
How long has it been?
1009
00:59:35,528 --> 00:59:38,749
-Eight years.
-Hey.
1010
00:59:41,316 --> 00:59:43,362
We're pretty much
at the end of the line now.
1011
00:59:46,234 --> 00:59:47,540
You scared, Todd?
1012
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,717
I did not kill my own children,
Elizabeth.
1013
00:59:52,414 --> 00:59:53,459
I swear.
1014
00:59:54,765 --> 00:59:57,115
I love them more
than I love life itself.
1015
00:59:57,594 --> 00:59:59,465
- Time's up.
1016
01:00:20,181 --> 01:00:23,750
It was weird.
He was gentle and soft spoken.
1017
01:00:23,794 --> 01:00:25,970
Oh, that's because he wants to
get in your pants.
1018
01:00:26,013 --> 01:00:27,754
-You know that's true.
-That's rude.
1019
01:00:27,798 --> 01:00:30,539
And he was a devil worshiper
to boot!
1020
01:00:30,583 --> 01:00:31,671
No!
1021
01:00:31,715 --> 01:00:34,369
-No.
-No, I heard it right on the TV.
1022
01:00:34,761 --> 01:00:38,765
He burned up those babies
as a sacrifice to Satan himself.
1023
01:00:39,113 --> 01:00:41,202
Seriously? Girls,
you're getting out of control.
1024
01:00:41,246 --> 01:00:43,291
If anybody were to come near
my babies,
1025
01:00:43,335 --> 01:00:46,033
I got a .38 Colt by my bedside
with their name on it.
1026
01:00:46,077 --> 01:00:48,340
The idea of you
with your loaded .38
1027
01:00:48,383 --> 01:00:50,255
makes me wanna move out
of the neighborhood.
1028
01:00:51,996 --> 01:00:53,301
Let's get started.
1029
01:00:54,912 --> 01:00:56,435
Are you gonna use some of this
for your new play, as if...
1030
01:00:56,478 --> 01:00:58,698
-Oh, I don't know.
-Fascinating.
1031
01:00:58,742 --> 01:01:02,528
Liz, wha-- What if somebody
was trying to hurt your babies?
1032
01:01:02,571 --> 01:01:03,747
I'd do anything.
1033
01:01:03,790 --> 01:01:05,400
-See?
-That's not the point.
1034
01:01:05,444 --> 01:01:07,968
-Of course, it is.
-It's still taking a life.
1035
01:01:08,012 --> 01:01:09,970
A monster
who don't deserve to live.
1036
01:01:10,231 --> 01:01:11,842
It's just revenge.
1037
01:01:11,885 --> 01:01:15,236
I mean, are we still there?
Isn't that a primitive idea?
1038
01:01:15,541 --> 01:01:18,457
No. It's called restitution.
1039
01:01:18,500 --> 01:01:20,067
Let the punishment
fit the crime.
1040
01:01:20,415 --> 01:01:22,679
Okay, well, you better kill
your ex-husband.
1041
01:01:22,722 --> 01:01:24,332
Oh, wouldn't that be great?
1042
01:01:26,204 --> 01:01:29,642
Liz, don't become one of those
sad women we hear about,
1043
01:01:29,686 --> 01:01:32,689
-who falls in love with--
-Me?
1044
01:01:32,732 --> 01:01:33,777
I'm just saying.
1045
01:01:35,256 --> 01:01:37,824
Thank you so much for
your interest in my love life.
1046
01:01:38,085 --> 01:01:40,435
But don't worry,
even someone as desperate as me
1047
01:01:40,479 --> 01:01:42,916
knows that a death row romance
doesn't have a future.
1048
01:01:47,747 --> 01:01:48,748
Hey.
1049
01:02:02,109 --> 01:02:03,197
Dad died.
1050
01:02:22,434 --> 01:02:23,652
Dear Elizabeth,
1051
01:02:25,176 --> 01:02:26,525
I didn't get a chance to
express my deep gratitude
1052
01:02:26,568 --> 01:02:27,569
for your visit.
1053
01:02:28,266 --> 01:02:30,398
It lifted my spirits for days.
1054
01:02:35,839 --> 01:02:36,709
Sir?
1055
01:02:49,983 --> 01:02:51,550
I used to be full of hate.
1056
01:02:51,898 --> 01:02:54,292
Hate for the judge,
hate for the jury.
1057
01:02:54,596 --> 01:02:56,076
Hate for everyone
who mistreated
1058
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:57,556
me and wanted me dead.
1059
01:02:58,731 --> 01:03:00,298
I guess after all this time,
1060
01:03:00,341 --> 01:03:02,604
the hate just kinda
burned out of me.
1061
01:03:03,388 --> 01:03:06,478
I've been working hard
on my case and...
1062
01:03:06,870 --> 01:03:08,132
it's funny,
1063
01:03:08,175 --> 01:03:10,438
I'm no longer the same dumb
24-year-old
1064
01:03:10,482 --> 01:03:12,223
who lost his place
in the world...
1065
01:03:14,791 --> 01:03:16,880
and have achieved more learning
within these walls
1066
01:03:16,923 --> 01:03:18,403
than I ever did in school.
1067
01:03:22,015 --> 01:03:24,452
I can remember every word
of our conversation.
1068
01:03:25,366 --> 01:03:27,804
You're the kind of person
I never had the chance to meet.
1069
01:03:28,282 --> 01:03:29,327
An artist,
1070
01:03:30,850 --> 01:03:33,026
filled with intellectual ideas,
and worldly wisdom.
1071
01:03:34,027 --> 01:03:37,378
"For me, it was more than
a connection to a world.
1072
01:03:37,422 --> 01:03:38,989
It brought my heart to laugh,
1073
01:03:39,032 --> 01:03:42,427
and created an omni-potent glow
around my being."
1074
01:03:43,341 --> 01:03:45,169
Sounds like he's prepping
for the SATs.
1075
01:03:45,212 --> 01:03:47,606
Mm-hmm. Well, first of all,
it's omnipotent.
1076
01:03:48,041 --> 01:03:51,131
And secondly, maybe he's just
trying to improve himself.
1077
01:03:52,045 --> 01:03:55,048
I mean, there's other people we
know who might wanna, like,
1078
01:03:55,353 --> 01:03:58,095
-study for the SATs.
-I'm studying!
1079
01:04:02,447 --> 01:04:03,796
You wanna visit him again?
1080
01:04:04,797 --> 01:04:07,234
Is this like a... a thing?
1081
01:04:08,757 --> 01:04:09,758
I might.
1082
01:04:10,585 --> 01:04:11,456
Why?
1083
01:04:13,806 --> 01:04:15,068
I don't know, honey.
1084
01:04:18,419 --> 01:04:21,858
You know, when you just wanna
do something...
1085
01:04:25,644 --> 01:04:26,645
help...
1086
01:04:28,212 --> 01:04:29,996
somebody who's feeling...
1087
01:04:31,737 --> 01:04:33,347
so much, you know?
1088
01:04:35,872 --> 01:04:39,005
I don't know what I'm saying.
Am I making any sense?
1089
01:04:39,049 --> 01:04:40,050
Honestly...
1090
01:04:41,442 --> 01:04:42,400
not really.
1091
01:05:07,904 --> 01:05:09,993
I cannot believe you came back.
1092
01:05:10,036 --> 01:05:11,081
I sure did.
1093
01:05:12,082 --> 01:05:13,257
Look at you.
1094
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:15,041
So pretty.
1095
01:05:15,302 --> 01:05:17,000
You don't have to say that,
Todd.
1096
01:05:17,043 --> 01:05:18,175
Are you kidding me?
1097
01:05:19,828 --> 01:05:21,352
Look at your hair, your eyes,
your dress, everything's just...
1098
01:05:21,395 --> 01:05:23,702
mm-mm, singin' to me.
1099
01:05:24,007 --> 01:05:25,051
Okay.
1100
01:05:26,052 --> 01:05:28,576
Stand up for me.
Just give me a twirl.
1101
01:05:28,881 --> 01:05:30,927
-What?
-Come on, now. Just once.
1102
01:05:32,189 --> 01:05:33,277
Now, come on.
1103
01:05:33,625 --> 01:05:34,626
No.
1104
01:05:37,194 --> 01:05:38,238
How you been?
1105
01:05:39,022 --> 01:05:41,894
Liz, last time you came,
1106
01:05:41,938 --> 01:05:43,678
I was the one
who did all the talking.
1107
01:05:43,983 --> 01:05:46,116
How are the kids?
Julie and Andrew, right?
1108
01:05:46,159 --> 01:05:47,160
Yeah.
1109
01:05:48,031 --> 01:05:49,162
They're okay.
1110
01:05:49,858 --> 01:05:51,469
Hmm. I told you their ages?
1111
01:05:51,512 --> 01:05:52,557
No.
1112
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:54,689
-Um, Julie is 17.
-Uh-oh.
1113
01:05:54,733 --> 01:05:55,734
Super smart.
1114
01:05:56,039 --> 01:05:58,258
She's a great kid, but...
1115
01:05:58,867 --> 01:06:00,782
she's a pain in my butt
sometimes.
1116
01:06:00,826 --> 01:06:03,263
-Oh, my Lord.
1117
01:06:03,655 --> 01:06:06,049
Well, you wouldn't wanna know me
when I was 17.
1118
01:06:06,092 --> 01:06:08,660
-Believe me. Uh-uh.
-Oh, no kidding?
1119
01:06:10,183 --> 01:06:12,838
-And Andrew?
-Best freckles known to man.
1120
01:06:12,881 --> 01:06:14,927
-Is he breaking hearts?
-On the cusp.
1121
01:06:14,971 --> 01:06:16,146
They get to see their daddy
much?
1122
01:06:19,584 --> 01:06:20,628
What's wrong?
1123
01:06:21,890 --> 01:06:23,675
Their dad died
a couple of weeks ago.
1124
01:06:24,328 --> 01:06:25,503
Oh, I'm sorry.
1125
01:06:26,808 --> 01:06:28,810
I'm sorry to hear
about your loss.
1126
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:33,076
I guess, we both know what it is
to lose something now.
1127
01:06:38,472 --> 01:06:40,953
I wrote a poem about my babies.
It's pretty bad.
1128
01:06:41,171 --> 01:06:42,476
You wanna hear it?
1129
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:43,651
Sure, of course.
1130
01:06:47,394 --> 01:06:48,395
It's bad.
1131
01:06:50,832 --> 01:06:53,705
"I know their beauty flows
deep within.
1132
01:06:54,836 --> 01:06:57,404
And all that's broken
their love will mend.
1133
01:06:58,188 --> 01:07:00,668
This beauty of theirs
is so unique.
1134
01:07:01,495 --> 01:07:04,324
It's much more valuable
than priceless antiques."
1135
01:07:05,630 --> 01:07:06,631
Nice.
1136
01:07:07,849 --> 01:07:10,896
-Fucking terrible, huh?
1137
01:07:11,201 --> 01:07:14,117
It's terrible.
1138
01:07:16,858 --> 01:07:19,383
All sections,
call count, five minutes,
1139
01:07:19,426 --> 01:07:20,949
clear your ranks,
clear the cages.
1140
01:07:25,606 --> 01:07:27,260
You're a Cowboys fan, right?
1141
01:07:28,087 --> 01:07:29,045
Yeah.
1142
01:07:30,394 --> 01:07:32,265
You think Aikman and Irving
have still got it?
1143
01:07:32,787 --> 01:07:34,920
You almost done?
It's fucking freezing out here.
1144
01:07:35,529 --> 01:07:37,444
Figured out why
you're always pissed.
1145
01:07:38,010 --> 01:07:39,272
Yeah, why's that?
1146
01:07:39,316 --> 01:07:41,666
Because you're a prisoner here,
too, like me.
1147
01:07:41,709 --> 01:07:43,320
You ain't bottom of the pile.
1148
01:07:43,972 --> 01:07:45,713
You ain't top of the pile,
neither.
1149
01:07:46,366 --> 01:07:47,672
You're just kinda
middle of the pile.
1150
01:07:47,715 --> 01:07:50,501
-Now, in order to feel like
1151
01:07:50,544 --> 01:07:51,893
you're going somewhere
in the world,
1152
01:07:51,937 --> 01:07:53,939
you got to stand on
the likes of me.
1153
01:07:55,897 --> 01:07:57,203
But don't really get you
anywhere,
1154
01:07:57,247 --> 01:07:58,683
you just kinda stay
in the middle.
1155
01:07:58,726 --> 01:07:59,814
Yeah?
1156
01:07:59,858 --> 01:08:01,338
You my fucking therapist now?
1157
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:06,299
I just got a lot of time
on my hands is all.
1158
01:08:10,042 --> 01:08:12,871
You ever read
Man's Search for Meaning?
1159
01:08:14,612 --> 01:08:15,874
I was absent that day.
1160
01:08:16,309 --> 01:08:17,876
It's by Viktor E. Frankl.
1161
01:08:20,183 --> 01:08:22,446
-Okay.
-Yeah, the guy basically says...
1162
01:08:23,186 --> 01:08:25,536
"To live is to suffer.
1163
01:08:27,451 --> 01:08:30,193
And to survive, you got to find
meaning in the suffering."
1164
01:08:33,544 --> 01:08:35,198
I made a promise to my daughter.
1165
01:08:37,069 --> 01:08:38,636
She visits me sometimes.
1166
01:08:41,987 --> 01:08:43,467
You got a daughter too, right?
1167
01:08:46,644 --> 01:08:47,862
What's her name again?
1168
01:08:49,037 --> 01:08:50,038
Becky.
1169
01:08:51,039 --> 01:08:52,128
Let's go inside.
1170
01:08:57,350 --> 01:08:58,699
No need to cuff your bitch ass.
1171
01:08:58,743 --> 01:09:00,484
Are you sure?
I'm feeling dangerous, brother.
1172
01:09:00,527 --> 01:09:02,529
-Yeah, you ain't got shit.
1173
01:09:04,140 --> 01:09:05,271
How you been?
1174
01:09:07,926 --> 01:09:08,927
Yeah?
1175
01:09:11,364 --> 01:09:12,713
Been doing much?
1176
01:09:17,196 --> 01:09:18,328
This is you.
1177
01:09:20,939 --> 01:09:22,854
Don't really look like you,
though, huh?
1178
01:09:25,291 --> 01:09:27,119
I might have to give her
a haircut.
1179
01:09:28,338 --> 01:09:29,730
Are you seeing your sisters?
1180
01:09:30,688 --> 01:09:31,689
They good?
1181
01:09:33,430 --> 01:09:34,735
Are you mad at me?
1182
01:09:37,260 --> 01:09:38,522
Are you mad at me?
1183
01:09:43,527 --> 01:09:44,658
You still see them?
1184
01:09:45,833 --> 01:09:47,487
Yeah, you taking care of them?
1185
01:09:48,314 --> 01:09:49,315
Yeah?
1186
01:09:51,099 --> 01:09:52,753
You gonna tell them
you saw Daddy?
1187
01:09:54,233 --> 01:09:55,756
You gonna tell them I'm sorry?
1188
01:10:02,981 --> 01:10:04,983
You know I didn't do it,
don't you?
1189
01:10:14,688 --> 01:10:16,081
Well, Todd,
1190
01:10:16,124 --> 01:10:18,431
you want to hear
about my life, so here goes.
1191
01:10:19,127 --> 01:10:20,868
You probably didn't want this
much detail,
1192
01:10:20,912 --> 01:10:23,306
but you did say
you wanted to know everything.
1193
01:10:25,873 --> 01:10:27,005
Mornings are tough.
1194
01:10:27,701 --> 01:10:28,702
Morning.
1195
01:10:30,138 --> 01:10:30,878
Teenagers think
they can stay up all night.
1196
01:10:31,270 --> 01:10:32,619
Then they seemed
1197
01:10:32,663 --> 01:10:34,012
surprised when they have
to wake up for school.
1198
01:10:37,015 --> 01:10:38,843
I probably coddle
them too much,
1199
01:10:38,886 --> 01:10:41,149
but that's my
right as a mother.
1200
01:10:42,847 --> 01:10:44,240
Well, it's just me now.
1201
01:10:44,675 --> 01:10:46,764
I guess I want them to know
I'm there for them.
1202
01:10:48,722 --> 01:10:52,422
Hey, hey, didn't you need me
to sign
1203
01:10:52,465 --> 01:10:54,511
that signature page
for you?
1204
01:10:54,772 --> 01:10:55,903
But I tell you...
1205
01:10:56,469 --> 01:10:58,558
sometimes that hour between
1206
01:10:58,602 --> 01:11:00,647
6:00 and 7:00 in the morning
1207
01:11:01,039 --> 01:11:02,649
feels about five minutes long.
1208
01:11:02,954 --> 01:11:05,304
-Lunch. Is that enough, though?
-Yeah.
1209
01:11:05,348 --> 01:11:07,306
-Give me a hug.
-Bye, Mama. Love you.
1210
01:11:07,350 --> 01:11:08,394
Love you.
1211
01:11:08,438 --> 01:11:10,004
-Love you.
-Bye, now. Eat today.
1212
01:11:10,048 --> 01:11:13,443
Most days I try to write.
Recently, not so much.
1213
01:11:20,058 --> 01:11:21,929
As good as my life is...
1214
01:11:22,626 --> 01:11:24,323
I can't help think
of all the plans I had
1215
01:11:24,367 --> 01:11:25,716
that never happened.
1216
01:11:27,892 --> 01:11:30,895
I know that sounds spoiled
to someone in your situation.
1217
01:11:31,374 --> 01:11:33,854
But you said
you want the truth.
1218
01:11:34,986 --> 01:11:37,684
Dear Elizabeth,
I cannot thank you enough
1219
01:11:37,728 --> 01:11:40,296
for sharing your thoughts
and feelings with me.
1220
01:11:40,818 --> 01:11:42,602
I never really looked deeply
into myself
1221
01:11:42,646 --> 01:11:43,995
before we started writing...
1222
01:11:44,038 --> 01:11:45,301
Dear Todd,
I got your drawing.
1223
01:11:46,127 --> 01:11:47,651
That is so beautiful.
1224
01:11:47,694 --> 01:11:49,217
You say you wanna know
what my life is like.
1225
01:11:49,261 --> 01:11:53,134
Well, try staying in your
kitchen for an entire day.
1226
01:11:53,831 --> 01:11:55,833
Then think about
what it'd be like
1227
01:11:55,876 --> 01:11:57,574
to be there
for the rest of your life.
1228
01:11:59,924 --> 01:12:01,969
Regular prisoners talk
about doing time,
1229
01:12:02,013 --> 01:12:04,320
but on the row,
there is no time.
1230
01:12:06,017 --> 01:12:08,672
The clock stopped moving
the minute we were sentenced.
1231
01:12:23,991 --> 01:12:25,602
People say
we should all live life
1232
01:12:25,645 --> 01:12:27,908
like it could be taken away
at any moment.
1233
01:12:29,693 --> 01:12:32,086
Death catches most people
unawares.
1234
01:12:32,435 --> 01:12:34,393
You're asleep, or your body
shuts down,
1235
01:12:34,437 --> 01:12:35,873
or an accident happens,
1236
01:12:35,916 --> 01:12:38,789
but to live every moment,
waiting,
1237
01:12:38,832 --> 01:12:41,922
knowing that they could decide
to kill you at any moment...
1238
01:12:43,446 --> 01:12:45,317
can't help picturing
the dents on the door
1239
01:12:45,361 --> 01:12:47,841
where others have kicked
and fought as they went in.
1240
01:12:59,853 --> 01:13:01,377
Are you sure you want this one?
1241
01:13:01,420 --> 01:13:03,988
It's kind of a snooze, and jury
was only out for an hour.
1242
01:13:04,031 --> 01:13:05,076
I got some better ones.
1243
01:13:05,119 --> 01:13:06,599
-Just this one, please.
-All right.
1244
01:13:06,643 --> 01:13:09,080
-Thanks, sir.
-You're welcome. Next.
1245
01:13:09,907 --> 01:13:10,821
Hey.
1246
01:13:15,956 --> 01:13:17,393
He wanted to get in so bad,
1247
01:13:17,436 --> 01:13:19,786
he broke the windows
with a tire iron,
1248
01:13:20,091 --> 01:13:22,572
but the fire just blew that
glass back at him.
1249
01:13:24,487 --> 01:13:26,184
I've never seen a man
cry so hard.
1250
01:13:30,493 --> 01:13:33,104
He didn't try to save those
kids until the cops showed up.
1251
01:13:33,409 --> 01:13:36,455
And it was like
he was putting on a show.
1252
01:13:38,892 --> 01:13:41,199
Don't surprise me,
he started that fire.
1253
01:13:42,853 --> 01:13:44,898
This so-called art
1254
01:13:45,159 --> 01:13:47,727
hung above
Todd Willingham's bed.
1255
01:13:47,988 --> 01:13:50,382
Dr. Grigson,
what can you tell us about it?
1256
01:13:51,339 --> 01:13:54,691
In my experience, such images
of death and violence
1257
01:13:54,734 --> 01:13:57,781
are often associated
with cultive type activities.
1258
01:13:58,129 --> 01:14:00,740
It is my conclusion
that Todd Willingham
1259
01:14:00,784 --> 01:14:04,265
is a severe sociopath
with violent tendencies.
1260
01:14:05,049 --> 01:14:07,225
Is it true
that the police were called
1261
01:14:07,268 --> 01:14:09,575
to your home
to control a situation
1262
01:14:09,619 --> 01:14:12,317
where Todd Willingham was
intoxicated,
1263
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:16,234
and calling you a
"whore, bitch, and slut"?
1264
01:14:16,539 --> 01:14:19,150
Todd would do never do anything
to hurt those babies.
1265
01:14:19,193 --> 01:14:21,108
He loved those babies
with all his heart.
1266
01:14:21,152 --> 01:14:23,067
He treated those babies
better than anybody else did.
1267
01:14:23,415 --> 01:14:24,416
Mr. Horton?
1268
01:14:24,721 --> 01:14:26,200
No questions, Your Honor.
1269
01:14:36,472 --> 01:14:38,996
Thank you for seeing me,
Mr. Horton.
1270
01:14:39,039 --> 01:14:40,780
Well, you can thank my girl,
Ronda.
1271
01:14:40,824 --> 01:14:42,565
-Yeah?
-She told me I had to see you,
1272
01:14:42,608 --> 01:14:44,131
so you would stop pestering her.
1273
01:14:44,175 --> 01:14:46,525
Oh, well, I just wanted to get
your thoughts
1274
01:14:46,569 --> 01:14:47,961
on Todd Willingham.
1275
01:14:48,005 --> 01:14:49,572
So, you knew him before?
1276
01:14:50,181 --> 01:14:51,182
Oh, yeah.
1277
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:54,315
I guess everybody in town
knew him, huh?
1278
01:14:54,707 --> 01:14:56,579
Cross the street to stay out
of the way is more like it.
1279
01:14:57,014 --> 01:14:58,537
Nothing but trouble, that boy.
1280
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:00,539
Tell you a little story.
1281
01:15:01,845 --> 01:15:03,890
Night after
Todd's children died,
1282
01:15:04,848 --> 01:15:07,024
the whole town had a gathering
to raise money
1283
01:15:07,415 --> 01:15:08,329
for their funeral.
1284
01:15:09,592 --> 01:15:11,071
He acted like
he'd just won the lottery.
1285
01:15:11,115 --> 01:15:13,378
-Drinking, playing darts.
1286
01:15:13,421 --> 01:15:15,075
Playing and whooping it up.
1287
01:15:15,119 --> 01:15:17,556
And just because someone acts
inappropriately
1288
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:20,124
doesn't mean they're a murderer,
though, right?
1289
01:15:21,604 --> 01:15:22,605
You're right.
1290
01:15:24,258 --> 01:15:27,044
What's inappropriate
is taking his part.
1291
01:15:27,871 --> 01:15:29,916
Now, you seem like an educated
woman.
1292
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:34,312
He had the motive, he had the
means, the science backed it up.
1293
01:15:34,878 --> 01:15:37,184
What makes you so cock-sure
he's innocent?
1294
01:15:38,621 --> 01:15:40,971
Honestly, I don't know
if he's innocent or not.
1295
01:15:41,406 --> 01:15:43,626
The question is,
did he get a fair trial?
1296
01:15:43,669 --> 01:15:44,931
Let me guess.
1297
01:15:44,975 --> 01:15:46,367
You've seen Todd
and he charmed you.
1298
01:15:47,194 --> 01:15:49,588
He was quite the ladies' man
back in Corsicana.
1299
01:15:49,632 --> 01:15:51,111
I wouldn't know anything
about that.
1300
01:15:51,938 --> 01:15:54,288
But what I do know,
is that you failed
1301
01:15:54,332 --> 01:15:56,769
to challenge witnesses
that changed their story.
1302
01:15:56,813 --> 01:15:58,815
You failed to reach out
to Todd's friends.
1303
01:15:58,858 --> 01:16:01,774
You failed to find
a single scientific expert.
1304
01:16:02,340 --> 01:16:05,430
I am sorry, sir, but...
it seems like you barely tried
1305
01:16:05,473 --> 01:16:07,432
to create reasonable doubt
in the jury's minds.
1306
01:16:07,475 --> 01:16:08,781
Where did you get your law
degree, missy?
1307
01:16:09,216 --> 01:16:10,609
State didn't give me
enough money
1308
01:16:10,653 --> 01:16:12,263
to feed these horses
to defend that boy.
1309
01:16:12,306 --> 01:16:13,873
-But I did the best I could.
-Yeah?
1310
01:16:13,917 --> 01:16:16,006
Yeah. And regardless
of your estimation
1311
01:16:16,049 --> 01:16:17,660
of my professional abilities,
1312
01:16:18,530 --> 01:16:19,792
the fact remains,
1313
01:16:20,837 --> 01:16:23,796
that boy is a monster,
and he will die.
1314
01:16:27,539 --> 01:16:29,019
Worry about the living,
Ms. Gilbert.
1315
01:16:29,367 --> 01:16:31,325
Yeah, well, maybe,
you should do the same.
1316
01:16:33,937 --> 01:16:35,112
We clearly have enough
1317
01:16:35,155 --> 01:16:36,592
to file an appeal
with the Fifth Circuit.
1318
01:16:36,635 --> 01:16:37,897
Now, I'm sorry, sir,
1319
01:16:37,941 --> 01:16:40,160
but this Horton seems like
a complete loser.
1320
01:16:40,204 --> 01:16:43,424
I mean, he decided
Todd was guilty from the get-go.
1321
01:16:43,468 --> 01:16:45,296
Yeah, granted Todd's trial
was a horror show,
1322
01:16:45,339 --> 01:16:47,037
but it doesn't mean
he's innocent.
1323
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:48,995
But, then,
what about his appeal?
1324
01:16:49,039 --> 01:16:52,216
Ms. Gilbert,
I appreciate your zeal.
1325
01:16:52,477 --> 01:16:54,653
I worked this case for six
years, and got nowhere.
1326
01:16:54,697 --> 01:16:57,090
There's so many others that
needed my help who I can help.
1327
01:16:57,395 --> 01:17:00,703
-But, then, what if--
-They denied him habeas corpus.
1328
01:17:00,746 --> 01:17:02,792
You're asking the state
to reopen a case
1329
01:17:02,835 --> 01:17:03,967
based on character witnesses,
1330
01:17:04,315 --> 01:17:06,360
when the primary factor
in this conviction
1331
01:17:06,404 --> 01:17:07,971
was the arson investigation.
1332
01:17:08,885 --> 01:17:12,192
Now, I have to agree with
the experts here, Ms. Gilbert.
1333
01:17:12,845 --> 01:17:13,933
Fire does not lie.
1334
01:17:15,326 --> 01:17:18,590
Look, you've been kind to him,
and I admire that.
1335
01:17:19,112 --> 01:17:21,506
A personal involvement
can blind you to the truth.
1336
01:17:21,767 --> 01:17:22,899
I've been there.
1337
01:17:24,335 --> 01:17:25,771
Just don't let your emotions
get the better of you.
1338
01:17:26,642 --> 01:17:29,949
My emotions? What?
'Cause I'm a woman?
1339
01:17:30,428 --> 01:17:32,865
That's not what I meant.
1340
01:17:32,909 --> 01:17:34,519
Well, then,
why don't you enlighten me?
1341
01:17:36,521 --> 01:17:38,305
Have sympathy for the man
he's become,
1342
01:17:38,741 --> 01:17:40,743
don't forget about
the man he was.
1343
01:17:40,786 --> 01:17:42,919
Great. I'mma go
finish your job for you.
1344
01:17:43,354 --> 01:17:44,485
Hold on a sec.
1345
01:17:47,227 --> 01:17:48,968
Look, I'm sorry.
I don't mean to be rude,
1346
01:17:49,012 --> 01:17:51,101
but it's just, it's been a long
road for me on this one,
1347
01:17:51,144 --> 01:17:52,406
and I got to let it
go at some point.
1348
01:17:52,450 --> 01:17:53,494
But you know what?
1349
01:17:53,538 --> 01:17:54,974
I've been reading this one file.
1350
01:17:55,018 --> 01:17:57,281
This Johnny Webb character,
and his testimony
1351
01:17:57,324 --> 01:17:58,978
seems like a complete lie.
1352
01:17:59,022 --> 01:18:00,850
I mean, is there a way we can
get to him?
1353
01:18:14,951 --> 01:18:15,952
Hey!
1354
01:18:17,562 --> 01:18:18,563
Hey!
1355
01:18:23,568 --> 01:18:25,048
Hey, how's it going?
1356
01:18:25,396 --> 01:18:27,137
Are you from one of those
church groups?
1357
01:18:27,180 --> 01:18:30,009
No, uh, Judge Powell called you,
right?
1358
01:18:31,010 --> 01:18:32,011
Yeah.
1359
01:18:32,403 --> 01:18:33,709
Yeah, I've been...
1360
01:18:34,405 --> 01:18:37,495
talking to some people
about Todd Willingham.
1361
01:18:39,062 --> 01:18:40,063
Sounds familiar.
1362
01:18:40,411 --> 01:18:43,022
Yeah, you, talked to the court
1363
01:18:43,501 --> 01:18:45,808
about how he confessed to you...
1364
01:18:46,722 --> 01:18:49,115
about starting a fire
that killed his daughters.
1365
01:18:51,814 --> 01:18:54,817
Right. Yeah, now I remember.
1366
01:18:55,078 --> 01:18:57,602
It was sad. Real sad.
1367
01:18:58,342 --> 01:19:01,649
Yeah, I've been reading
your testimony, carefully.
1368
01:19:02,259 --> 01:19:04,174
Just wondering how all that
happened.
1369
01:19:04,696 --> 01:19:06,263
It's a long time ago, you know.
1370
01:19:07,133 --> 01:19:09,222
Yeah, I can't remember
last week.
1371
01:19:11,050 --> 01:19:12,138
But it sure would help
1372
01:19:13,009 --> 01:19:15,098
if there's anything
you could tell me.
1373
01:19:15,751 --> 01:19:18,579
Well... Uh...
1374
01:19:19,667 --> 01:19:21,191
I was just sitting in my cell.
1375
01:19:21,887 --> 01:19:25,543
You know? And... And this guy
gets put in with me.
1376
01:19:27,284 --> 01:19:29,852
He's talking for a while and...
1377
01:19:30,722 --> 01:19:32,419
he confessed to me right there.
1378
01:19:33,159 --> 01:19:35,118
-That's about it.
-Just like that?
1379
01:19:38,686 --> 01:19:41,864
You felt like you knew
Todd well, or...
1380
01:19:42,168 --> 01:19:44,692
Like I said,
we shared a cell, so, you know.
1381
01:19:47,913 --> 01:19:49,654
Why do you think
he confessed to you?
1382
01:19:52,613 --> 01:19:54,833
I guess he just needed to tell
somebody.
1383
01:19:55,312 --> 01:19:57,836
You know? Sometimes
a stranger's good for that.
1384
01:19:57,880 --> 01:19:59,229
How's that work?
1385
01:20:00,883 --> 01:20:03,755
When you testify
in somebody else's case,
1386
01:20:04,451 --> 01:20:08,151
they, um... give you
a reduced sentence or...
1387
01:20:09,108 --> 01:20:10,327
did things change?
1388
01:20:11,894 --> 01:20:13,243
You're a welder, huh?
1389
01:20:14,157 --> 01:20:16,333
-Guess so.
-My dad, too.
1390
01:20:17,247 --> 01:20:18,422
Is that what you wanted to do?
1391
01:20:21,077 --> 01:20:22,818
Underwater welder, actually.
1392
01:20:22,861 --> 01:20:24,645
-The coolest job.
1393
01:20:25,777 --> 01:20:27,953
-Is that what you are now?
-I wish.
1394
01:20:28,998 --> 01:20:31,261
I took a course, though,
been studying and shit,
1395
01:20:31,304 --> 01:20:32,871
you know, I took it down in--
1396
01:20:32,915 --> 01:20:34,046
Don't tell me, Houston?
1397
01:20:35,700 --> 01:20:37,920
-Houston. Yeah.
-At The Ocean Corporation?
1398
01:20:37,963 --> 01:20:40,313
Yeah, damn right.
They got everything in there.
1399
01:20:40,357 --> 01:20:42,446
-It's expensive.
-Yeah, you ain't kidding.
1400
01:20:42,707 --> 01:20:45,362
-That's far from here, too.
-Yeah, you know.
1401
01:20:45,666 --> 01:20:47,407
-Drove my truck, though.
-This one?
1402
01:20:47,451 --> 01:20:50,236
-Yeah, yeah, that's my baby.
-Now, that is-- That's sweet.
1403
01:20:50,628 --> 01:20:52,064
Almost got it new, too.
1404
01:20:52,456 --> 01:20:54,371
Why are you asking me about all
this?
1405
01:20:54,414 --> 01:20:55,807
How did you pay for this?
1406
01:20:57,940 --> 01:20:59,811
Oh! I know what I wanted to
ask you.
1407
01:21:00,420 --> 01:21:02,814
Did Jackson,
the district attorney...
1408
01:21:03,946 --> 01:21:06,165
did he promise you
a reduced sentence
1409
01:21:06,209 --> 01:21:07,427
for that little story
you told?
1410
01:21:07,471 --> 01:21:09,821
-I don't know. I--
-Did he do that to you?
1411
01:21:09,865 --> 01:21:10,996
-I don't know.
-Like promise
1412
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:12,302
to take care of you?
1413
01:21:12,345 --> 01:21:13,303
They do that?
1414
01:21:14,565 --> 01:21:15,827
You know, I don't wanna
talk no more, so...
1415
01:21:15,871 --> 01:21:17,916
I'm sorry, Johnny, but...
was that the deal?
1416
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:19,918
Yeah, but I ain't supposed
to talk about this stuff, so--
1417
01:21:19,962 --> 01:21:21,920
Who told you not to talk about
it, the district attorney
1418
01:21:21,964 --> 01:21:24,401
is asking you not to talk,
and they're using you--
1419
01:21:24,444 --> 01:21:25,881
It's time for you to leave,
lady--
1420
01:21:25,924 --> 01:21:27,926
Listen to me, they are gonna
kill an innocent person.
1421
01:21:27,970 --> 01:21:29,580
And then you have to
live with it?
1422
01:21:29,623 --> 01:21:30,886
-I'm done here!
-They're gonna kill
1423
01:21:30,929 --> 01:21:32,539
an innocent man
and you have to live with it?
1424
01:21:32,583 --> 01:21:34,150
You know, I got a gun.
1425
01:21:38,284 --> 01:21:41,722
-All right. We're just talking.
-I'm done talking.
1426
01:21:41,766 --> 01:21:43,681
Okay. All right, I'm not a cop.
1427
01:21:46,597 --> 01:21:48,381
-Get the fuck outta here then!
-Okay.
1428
01:21:54,257 --> 01:21:55,388
You could help.
1429
01:21:56,737 --> 01:21:57,825
Please.
1430
01:22:03,309 --> 01:22:04,528
He threatened you?
1431
01:22:04,745 --> 01:22:06,660
That stupid motherfucker,
he threatened you?
1432
01:22:06,704 --> 01:22:09,925
Mm-hmm. Listen to me,
his story stinks. You know why?
1433
01:22:10,490 --> 01:22:12,231
That guy's a snitch.
1434
01:22:13,232 --> 01:22:15,974
I think the DA paid somebody
to pay him off.
1435
01:22:16,018 --> 01:22:17,715
-He took a bribe?
-Mm-hmm.
1436
01:22:18,107 --> 01:22:19,760
Oh, he's a spineless
piece of shit.
1437
01:22:19,804 --> 01:22:21,849
But do you understand
what that means?
1438
01:22:22,241 --> 01:22:25,853
We got a snitch,
a gas can that was never found
1439
01:22:26,115 --> 01:22:28,247
-and Stacy's testimony.
-Yeah.
1440
01:22:28,291 --> 01:22:29,509
Look at all this evidence.
1441
01:22:30,989 --> 01:22:32,948
Reeve says there's no problem.
We've got plenty to go.
1442
01:22:32,991 --> 01:22:34,688
File an appeal
with the Fifth Circuit.
1443
01:22:34,732 --> 01:22:37,865
Fifth Circuit. I already spent
five of my appeals, Liz.
1444
01:22:38,475 --> 01:22:40,956
-I only got one more left.
-But you got one more left.
1445
01:22:40,999 --> 01:22:42,914
It's gonna go the same way
as all the others.
1446
01:22:42,958 --> 01:22:45,525
Todd, you've got one more.
1447
01:22:53,925 --> 01:22:55,535
Do you think life is fair, Liz?
1448
01:22:58,060 --> 01:22:59,104
Hell no.
1449
01:23:01,628 --> 01:23:03,326
Do you think God
is all right with that?
1450
01:23:03,587 --> 01:23:05,502
I don't think we know what His
plan is.
1451
01:23:05,545 --> 01:23:07,939
I don't even try
to begin to imagine.
1452
01:23:13,989 --> 01:23:14,990
I wanna live.
1453
01:23:16,382 --> 01:23:18,471
That's why we're not gonna give
up for one second.
1454
01:23:19,646 --> 01:23:20,865
Okay?
1455
01:23:23,302 --> 01:23:24,738
So, life isn't fair.
1456
01:23:27,350 --> 01:23:28,916
What are we gonna do with that?
1457
01:23:34,705 --> 01:23:38,187
I mean, maybe this, right now...
1458
01:23:40,493 --> 01:23:42,147
is the best we get.
1459
01:23:43,975 --> 01:23:45,716
Us being here for each other.
1460
01:23:47,848 --> 01:23:49,720
Knowing how wrong it all this.
1461
01:23:53,332 --> 01:23:54,812
Maybe this is the God part.
1462
01:23:58,816 --> 01:24:02,907
All of us down here
trying to figure it all out.
1463
01:24:21,969 --> 01:24:23,580
That's beautiful, baby.
1464
01:24:26,583 --> 01:24:27,888
Is this our house?
1465
01:24:31,631 --> 01:24:34,025
Is that Mommy? Is she crying?
1466
01:24:36,114 --> 01:24:37,898
She crying because I was
mean to her?
1467
01:24:42,947 --> 01:24:44,079
Is this Daddy?
1468
01:24:46,733 --> 01:24:48,213
Daddy was bad, huh?
1469
01:24:54,045 --> 01:24:55,438
I'm sorry, baby.
1470
01:24:59,877 --> 01:25:03,620
The doctor who testified that
Todd was a sociopath
1471
01:25:03,663 --> 01:25:05,317
never even met him.
1472
01:25:06,057 --> 01:25:07,406
That seems unfair.
1473
01:25:07,711 --> 01:25:08,886
Exactly.
1474
01:25:10,366 --> 01:25:11,454
Yeah.
1475
01:25:11,497 --> 01:25:14,021
They bring him in
whenever they want
1476
01:25:14,065 --> 01:25:15,719
a guaranteed death penalty.
1477
01:25:16,633 --> 01:25:19,114
His nickname is Dr. Death.
1478
01:25:19,462 --> 01:25:20,985
-Dr. Death?
-He...
1479
01:25:21,333 --> 01:25:22,508
He was expelled
1480
01:25:22,552 --> 01:25:24,771
from the American
Psychiatric Association
1481
01:25:24,815 --> 01:25:28,906
"for making diagnosis
without meeting defendants."
1482
01:25:29,820 --> 01:25:31,387
This is why you read everything.
1483
01:25:33,650 --> 01:25:35,913
I swear I'm gonna cook for you
tomorrow night.
1484
01:25:35,956 --> 01:25:38,002
-That is just pitiful.
-I like cold pizza.
1485
01:25:38,394 --> 01:25:40,570
I do, too, but at least
put it on a plate.
1486
01:25:42,049 --> 01:25:45,749
Hey, you. Juls, did a Dr. Hurst
call when I was out?
1487
01:25:45,792 --> 01:25:47,142
Nope. Bye.
1488
01:25:47,185 --> 01:25:48,882
-Where you headed?
-Studying.
1489
01:25:48,926 --> 01:25:50,145
With Dave?
1490
01:25:53,060 --> 01:25:54,627
You mean you actually know
his name?
1491
01:25:57,195 --> 01:25:58,153
What?
1492
01:26:01,199 --> 01:26:02,157
Look...
1493
01:26:03,984 --> 01:26:04,985
What?
1494
01:26:05,856 --> 01:26:07,510
I know how amazing it must be
1495
01:26:07,553 --> 01:26:09,555
being pen pals
with a murderer...
1496
01:26:11,166 --> 01:26:12,254
but it's like you think
1497
01:26:12,297 --> 01:26:13,603
you're some kind of hero
or something.
1498
01:26:14,778 --> 01:26:16,214
Do you even know that Andrew
1499
01:26:16,258 --> 01:26:17,694
is crying himself to sleep
at night
1500
01:26:17,737 --> 01:26:19,043
because he misses Daddy?
1501
01:26:21,350 --> 01:26:23,569
You have no idea
what's going on around here.
1502
01:26:26,703 --> 01:26:27,878
I do.
1503
01:26:28,270 --> 01:26:29,271
You don't.
1504
01:26:29,923 --> 01:26:31,316
That's just not true.
1505
01:26:36,495 --> 01:26:37,844
I'm sorry.
1506
01:26:41,935 --> 01:26:43,633
I'm sorry, sweet pea.
1507
01:26:46,375 --> 01:26:47,941
Dallas is now inside the field
1508
01:26:47,985 --> 01:26:49,987
goal range on the Arizona 37,
1509
01:26:50,030 --> 01:26:51,249
second down and eight.
1510
01:26:51,293 --> 01:26:52,859
Cowboys come
out of the shotgun.
1511
01:26:52,903 --> 01:26:54,121
There's a snap.
1512
01:26:54,165 --> 01:26:55,253
Cardinals coming
with the blitz,
1513
01:26:55,297 --> 01:26:56,776
Huntington scrambling left.
1514
01:26:56,820 --> 01:26:58,996
-It's picked off again.
-Come on.
1515
01:26:59,039 --> 01:27:00,606
This time by Adrian Wilson.
1516
01:27:01,128 --> 01:27:03,087
What kind of lame-ass excuse
for a quarterback
1517
01:27:03,130 --> 01:27:05,089
throws three interceptions
in the first quarter?
1518
01:27:05,132 --> 01:27:07,657
Hey, Willingham?
Cowboys suck.
1519
01:27:07,700 --> 01:27:09,659
-Hey, shut the fuck up.
-Whoever thought the Cowboys
1520
01:27:09,702 --> 01:27:10,790
wouldn't make the playoffs
1521
01:27:10,834 --> 01:27:12,227
-three years in a goddamn row.
-Yeah.
1522
01:27:12,879 --> 01:27:14,185
It sucks.
1523
01:27:14,229 --> 01:27:15,099
Unbelievable.
1524
01:27:16,535 --> 01:27:17,275
Well, first of all,
we are talking
1525
01:27:17,319 --> 01:27:18,450
about a man's life.
1526
01:27:18,494 --> 01:27:19,538
So, now, you're spearheading
an effort
1527
01:27:19,582 --> 01:27:21,105
to prove Todd's innocence?
1528
01:27:21,148 --> 01:27:23,063
Well, I wouldn't say
spearheading,
1529
01:27:23,107 --> 01:27:24,630
but I am helping
his lawyer.
1530
01:27:25,152 --> 01:27:27,329
Todd's trial was
a complete travesty.
1531
01:27:27,372 --> 01:27:28,808
What a great ball game...
1532
01:27:28,852 --> 01:27:31,855
Hey, Willingham. They're talking
about you on the radio.
1533
01:27:31,898 --> 01:27:34,249
Hey, Todd,
change the station, man.
1534
01:27:35,815 --> 01:27:37,469
Which frequency are we on?
1535
01:27:37,513 --> 01:27:38,514
It's 1060.
1536
01:27:40,472 --> 01:27:41,908
...knew that I was going to
1537
01:27:42,213 --> 01:27:44,911
supposedly meet
a killer, but...
1538
01:27:45,999 --> 01:27:49,960
I found myself talking
to a vulnerable, sensitive man.
1539
01:27:50,395 --> 01:27:52,179
He was very easy to talk to.
1540
01:27:52,223 --> 01:27:53,877
How do you expect to change
people's minds
1541
01:27:53,920 --> 01:27:56,053
who know of Todd's past,
1542
01:27:56,096 --> 01:27:59,883
that he beat his wife in front
of multiple witnesses but--
1543
01:27:59,926 --> 01:28:01,798
I mean, have you
ever been cruel to someone
1544
01:28:01,841 --> 01:28:03,843
in your life?
That make you a murderer?
1545
01:28:04,148 --> 01:28:05,018
No.
1546
01:28:06,281 --> 01:28:09,719
Uh, it was very clear
that witness testimony
1547
01:28:09,762 --> 01:28:11,895
changed from the time
they talked to the police,
1548
01:28:11,938 --> 01:28:13,766
to the time they were
in a courtroom.
1549
01:28:13,810 --> 01:28:15,768
There's new DNA
evidence in this case.
1550
01:28:15,812 --> 01:28:17,727
There may be new fire evidence.
1551
01:28:17,770 --> 01:28:20,425
There are more questions
to answer here.
1552
01:28:20,469 --> 01:28:22,122
So,
what you're telling me is
1553
01:28:22,166 --> 01:28:24,821
you believe that
Todd is innocent?
1554
01:28:27,563 --> 01:28:28,651
Yes, I am.
1555
01:28:29,782 --> 01:28:31,001
I believe the State of Texas
1556
01:28:31,044 --> 01:28:32,916
is about to kill
an innocent man.
1557
01:28:34,526 --> 01:28:36,398
Would you wanna
kill an innocent man?
1558
01:28:37,355 --> 01:28:39,923
There is more than enough
evidence
1559
01:28:39,966 --> 01:28:42,099
for Todd to be
granted an appeal.
1560
01:28:42,142 --> 01:28:43,796
If there's any question...
1561
01:28:45,058 --> 01:28:47,365
-Hey.
-...evidence or any...
1562
01:28:47,409 --> 01:28:48,714
Your date's been set.
1563
01:28:50,020 --> 01:28:51,413
February 17th.
1564
01:29:18,483 --> 01:29:19,702
Now I feel excited.
1565
01:29:21,268 --> 01:29:23,314
I read something on somebody
who's supposed to be, like,
1566
01:29:23,358 --> 01:29:26,404
the world expert on fires.
His name's Hurst.
1567
01:29:26,970 --> 01:29:28,145
I've got a message to him
1568
01:29:28,188 --> 01:29:30,103
and found out
he lives in Austin.
1569
01:29:30,582 --> 01:29:32,584
And I just feel like
that's what we need.
1570
01:29:32,628 --> 01:29:35,152
You know, we need an expert
who can come in
1571
01:29:35,195 --> 01:29:37,807
and challenge this absurdity.
1572
01:29:37,850 --> 01:29:39,548
Liz, I'm not here to be saved.
1573
01:29:40,810 --> 01:29:42,551
-Well, I'm not--
-I'm not a character
1574
01:29:42,594 --> 01:29:45,510
in one of your fucking plays
or a pretend boyfriend,
1575
01:29:45,554 --> 01:29:48,861
or someone here to percolate
some excitement
1576
01:29:48,905 --> 01:29:52,082
in your otherwise boring,
ex-fucking housewife life.
1577
01:29:54,214 --> 01:29:55,781
I am here to die.
1578
01:30:01,874 --> 01:30:05,356
These are my last days, Liz,
not yours.
1579
01:30:07,010 --> 01:30:09,621
And I don't need them filled up
with your false hope.
1580
01:30:11,667 --> 01:30:15,410
Now, I am grateful for all
the faith you've had in me.
1581
01:30:17,020 --> 01:30:18,891
All the work, everything,
1582
01:30:18,935 --> 01:30:21,416
but it don't matter
what truth you find now.
1583
01:30:21,459 --> 01:30:23,069
It ain't gonna make
no difference.
1584
01:30:30,729 --> 01:30:31,730
I lied, Liz.
1585
01:30:34,341 --> 01:30:35,473
I lied to you.
1586
01:30:40,260 --> 01:30:41,392
I lied to everybody.
1587
01:30:47,529 --> 01:30:50,227
I said I went in straight
to the girls' room, which I did.
1588
01:30:51,054 --> 01:30:53,926
Crawled over to them,
burning shit falling on me
1589
01:30:53,970 --> 01:30:56,363
and smoke everywhere,
everything was on fire.
1590
01:30:59,541 --> 01:31:01,281
I tried to get in,
but I couldn't
1591
01:31:01,325 --> 01:31:02,500
'cause it was too hot.
1592
01:31:04,328 --> 01:31:05,416
Amber!
1593
01:31:11,944 --> 01:31:13,468
I already knew that they...
1594
01:31:54,552 --> 01:31:56,685
I was too afraid to...
1595
01:32:00,340 --> 01:32:03,343
I was too afraid to see my own
kids burning to death.
1596
01:32:12,396 --> 01:32:14,441
I wanted to go back in,
but I couldn't
1597
01:32:14,485 --> 01:32:15,704
'cause I was too afraid.
1598
01:32:20,796 --> 01:32:22,275
So I am guilty.
1599
01:32:29,979 --> 01:32:32,982
Any man who can't save his own
kids don't deserve to live.
1600
01:32:51,348 --> 01:32:52,828
He wants to stop.
1601
01:32:55,744 --> 01:32:59,138
Maybe he's right.
Maybe we're just torturing him.
1602
01:33:01,140 --> 01:33:03,578
I mean, what chance have we got
honestly?
1603
01:33:06,668 --> 01:33:09,671
Doesn't matter. How many
think...
1604
01:33:10,846 --> 01:33:12,587
You think this is just about
Todd?
1605
01:33:14,023 --> 01:33:16,373
System doesn't work,
it's broken.
1606
01:33:17,940 --> 01:33:20,377
How many others out there
you think been fucked over?
1607
01:33:26,252 --> 01:33:27,297
Yeah.
1608
01:33:28,515 --> 01:33:30,909
For a while there,
we was crazy in love.
1609
01:33:32,824 --> 01:33:35,871
And then we got married
after the twins was born and...
1610
01:33:37,524 --> 01:33:40,745
I thought that meant
he really loved me, but...
1611
01:33:42,617 --> 01:33:44,923
now I think he was just doing it
for them.
1612
01:33:45,228 --> 01:33:48,013
Well, Stacy, if there's anything
you can remember
1613
01:33:48,057 --> 01:33:49,667
that we could use to save him...
1614
01:33:51,060 --> 01:33:52,235
this is it.
1615
01:33:53,323 --> 01:33:54,672
They're about to kill him.
1616
01:33:58,110 --> 01:33:59,329
I know that, yeah.
1617
01:33:59,634 --> 01:34:01,070
Please help us.
1618
01:34:06,379 --> 01:34:09,252
My brother, he's police.
1619
01:34:12,342 --> 01:34:15,911
He says, Todd gets off,
they're gonna come after me
1620
01:34:15,954 --> 01:34:18,000
and persecute me and Todd's
gonna help them do it.
1621
01:34:18,043 --> 01:34:19,915
I don't wanna go to jail
instead of him.
1622
01:34:21,699 --> 01:34:23,005
That's crazy.
1623
01:34:25,355 --> 01:34:26,878
Todd loves you.
1624
01:34:27,749 --> 01:34:31,230
He talks about you all the time.
You need to go see him.
1625
01:34:34,016 --> 01:34:35,670
Mm-mm. I can't do that.
1626
01:34:35,931 --> 01:34:40,152
Stacy, he was the father
of your babies.
1627
01:34:41,110 --> 01:34:46,028
And he's changed.
Please, just go see him.
1628
01:34:56,516 --> 01:34:57,909
-Hey, honey.
-Oh, hey, Mom.
1629
01:34:58,214 --> 01:34:59,955
Hey, a doctor left you
a message.
1630
01:34:59,998 --> 01:35:01,608
-Doctor Hu--
-Hurst?
1631
01:35:01,652 --> 01:35:02,784
-Yeah.
-Oh, my God.
1632
01:35:02,827 --> 01:35:04,133
Wait. Mom, is everything okay?
1633
01:35:05,134 --> 01:35:06,831
Yeah, buddy,
not that kind of doctor.
1634
01:35:06,875 --> 01:35:08,224
-All right.
-Have a great day.
1635
01:35:08,267 --> 01:35:09,660
-All right.
-Okay.
1636
01:35:23,848 --> 01:35:26,851
We're so grateful
that you're willing to dive in
1637
01:35:26,895 --> 01:35:28,287
like this. I mean--
1638
01:35:28,331 --> 01:35:30,725
What's your sign?
1639
01:35:32,204 --> 01:35:34,641
-Excuse me?
-Under what sign
1640
01:35:34,685 --> 01:35:36,905
of the zodiac were you born?
1641
01:35:38,341 --> 01:35:40,125
-Aries.
-And your horoscope,
1642
01:35:40,169 --> 01:35:41,213
do you read it?
1643
01:35:42,475 --> 01:35:44,434
-Sometimes, I guess.
-Sometimes it's right
1644
01:35:44,477 --> 01:35:47,437
-and sometimes it's wrong.
-Well, all that stuff is just...
1645
01:35:47,829 --> 01:35:51,658
People have always been
fascinated
1646
01:35:52,050 --> 01:35:55,271
by the stars, they chartered
their movements.
1647
01:35:55,314 --> 01:35:59,492
They could tell you
when Mercury was retrograde
1648
01:35:59,536 --> 01:36:02,539
or when Mars was aligned
with Venus.
1649
01:36:03,496 --> 01:36:08,806
They made predictions
based on these observations.
1650
01:36:08,850 --> 01:36:11,896
These people were called
astrologers.
1651
01:36:12,941 --> 01:36:15,770
They were the experts
on the solar system.
1652
01:36:16,335 --> 01:36:18,903
Until the science of astronomy
came along
1653
01:36:18,947 --> 01:36:22,037
and proved their ideas
to be nothing but bullpucky.
1654
01:36:22,341 --> 01:36:27,303
I've studied the report
their experts wrote.
1655
01:36:39,141 --> 01:36:40,142
Follow me.
1656
01:36:42,187 --> 01:36:44,624
-Move your feet.
-Oh!
1657
01:37:06,168 --> 01:37:07,256
What do you see?
1658
01:37:08,300 --> 01:37:09,171
Oh...
1659
01:37:10,346 --> 01:37:12,827
-nothing?
-Exactly. No burn signature.
1660
01:37:13,915 --> 01:37:18,267
And no such thing
as crazed glass either.
1661
01:37:24,360 --> 01:37:26,144
The spider pattern happens...
1662
01:37:27,711 --> 01:37:30,453
when it's hit by cold water
from the fire hoses.
1663
01:37:31,454 --> 01:37:33,325
-Ah!
1664
01:37:35,066 --> 01:37:39,984
I spent two days going over
every detail of this case.
1665
01:37:40,419 --> 01:37:42,769
Thing about investigators
is they tend to find
1666
01:37:42,813 --> 01:37:46,121
what they're looking for,
even if it isn't there.
1667
01:37:47,252 --> 01:37:49,776
They'd already decided
Todd was guilty
1668
01:37:49,820 --> 01:37:51,822
before they walked
into that house.
1669
01:37:52,997 --> 01:37:55,217
They were so sure it was arson,
1670
01:37:55,260 --> 01:37:57,784
they didn't even bother to
check the space heater.
1671
01:37:59,612 --> 01:38:01,919
Whoever installed
the electrical wiring
1672
01:38:01,963 --> 01:38:04,313
had never even heard
of a Safety Code.
1673
01:38:06,619 --> 01:38:08,012
- Girls?
- Those flames
1674
01:38:08,056 --> 01:38:09,579
ran up the ceiling
1675
01:38:09,622 --> 01:38:12,538
burning the walls,
before moving their way down.
1676
01:38:12,582 --> 01:38:13,626
Daddy!
1677
01:38:15,193 --> 01:38:16,194
The fire was
what we call a flashover.
1678
01:38:17,674 --> 01:38:19,328
Instant combustion
of everything flammable.
1679
01:38:19,371 --> 01:38:22,070
The V pattern the experts
found...
1680
01:38:22,374 --> 01:38:24,550
also a signature of a
flashover.
1681
01:38:28,728 --> 01:38:30,513
The accelerant on the porch.
1682
01:38:31,340 --> 01:38:33,516
Charcoal grill
and lighter fluid
1683
01:38:33,559 --> 01:38:35,997
the expert somehow neglected
to mention.
1684
01:38:38,434 --> 01:38:40,915
My babies are burning up!
1685
01:38:41,480 --> 01:38:43,918
And the refrigerator
that blocked the back door?
1686
01:38:46,007 --> 01:38:48,487
Linoleum underneath is
untouched.
1687
01:38:48,531 --> 01:38:50,402
It was always there,
never been moved.
1688
01:38:53,405 --> 01:38:55,973
My report is based on hundreds
of hours of experiments
1689
01:38:56,017 --> 01:38:57,975
by the most rigorous scientists
in the field,
1690
01:38:58,019 --> 01:38:59,934
these so-called experts
of theirs
1691
01:38:59,977 --> 01:39:01,370
may have seen lots of fires,
1692
01:39:01,413 --> 01:39:03,938
but in the end,
they're just astrologers.
1693
01:39:06,331 --> 01:39:09,421
-Thank you, Mr. Hurst.
-Thank you so much.
1694
01:39:09,465 --> 01:39:11,293
There's also just one more thing
1695
01:39:11,336 --> 01:39:14,513
-that we have to...
-What we owe you.
1696
01:39:14,557 --> 01:39:16,994
I don't believe in astrology,
Ms. Gilbert,
1697
01:39:18,039 --> 01:39:19,736
but I do believe in karma.
1698
01:39:20,171 --> 01:39:23,044
Mine can use all the help it can
get. The pleasure's mine.
1699
01:39:25,307 --> 01:39:27,526
Todd, we got Hurst.
Listen to me.
1700
01:39:27,918 --> 01:39:30,965
We got to Hurst.
We got to him.
1701
01:39:31,008 --> 01:39:33,097
He said there's no way
that fire was arson.
1702
01:39:33,141 --> 01:39:34,272
You know what that means?
1703
01:39:34,316 --> 01:39:35,926
If there's no arson,
there's no crime.
1704
01:39:36,144 --> 01:39:38,537
-Can you believe it?
-No, I can't.
1705
01:39:38,581 --> 01:39:40,496
-Oh, my God.
-It's just like
1706
01:39:40,539 --> 01:39:41,976
I've been saying the whole time.
1707
01:39:42,019 --> 01:39:44,108
Well, Reeves is on his way
to Parole Board right now.
1708
01:39:44,500 --> 01:39:46,110
He said there's no way
they won't regard this
1709
01:39:46,154 --> 01:39:47,242
as exculpatory evidence.
1710
01:39:49,635 --> 01:39:52,421
Todd, we have a real chance.
1711
01:39:55,163 --> 01:39:57,121
Oh, I don't know, Liz.
1712
01:39:59,428 --> 01:40:01,473
I'm not fixing to start
hoping again.
1713
01:40:02,431 --> 01:40:03,519
Hope is bad.
1714
01:40:03,867 --> 01:40:05,608
I got 10 days left.
1715
01:40:05,651 --> 01:40:07,784
If I start hoping again,
them 10 days is gonna go by
1716
01:40:07,827 --> 01:40:11,788
-just like that.
-I understand, but I'm hoping.
1717
01:40:19,535 --> 01:40:21,058
You know what I was ruminating
on just now
1718
01:40:21,102 --> 01:40:22,538
while I was waiting
for you?
1719
01:40:22,581 --> 01:40:26,194
-What?
-After all them terrible things
1720
01:40:26,237 --> 01:40:28,239
I said to you,
I thought you'd given up on me.
1721
01:40:30,894 --> 01:40:31,764
Never.
1722
01:40:47,302 --> 01:40:48,390
Never.
1723
01:40:57,790 --> 01:40:59,923
-Irene?
-Yes?
1724
01:40:59,966 --> 01:41:01,577
I need to get this copy
of Hurst's report
1725
01:41:01,620 --> 01:41:03,709
over to the Board
of Pardons and Paroles.
1726
01:41:03,753 --> 01:41:04,754
All right?
1727
01:41:06,060 --> 01:41:08,062
Second thought, got this.
Thank you. Sorry.
1728
01:41:11,239 --> 01:41:12,849
-Hi, Cindy.
-Hi, Skip.
1729
01:41:12,892 --> 01:41:15,286
I was wondering
if you can get this out ASAP?
1730
01:41:15,330 --> 01:41:17,158
-Sure thing.
-Thanks so much.
1731
01:41:17,201 --> 01:41:19,029
-You have a good one.
-You too.
1732
01:41:36,655 --> 01:41:39,702
This fax just came in
from the Parole Board, sir.
1733
01:41:45,142 --> 01:41:46,883
How can they deny it without
reading it?
1734
01:41:48,102 --> 01:41:49,712
No need-- No, no, no.
1735
01:41:49,755 --> 01:41:51,888
It's a new interpretation
of existing evidence
1736
01:41:51,931 --> 01:41:54,456
using scientific methods
that weren't available then.
1737
01:41:55,239 --> 01:41:57,415
That constitutes new evidence.
1738
01:41:59,330 --> 01:42:01,289
How could they not even meet?
1739
01:42:01,724 --> 01:42:03,900
It-- Hello? Hello?
1740
01:42:08,122 --> 01:42:10,602
Irene, I want a--
I want a draft in appeal
1741
01:42:10,646 --> 01:42:12,561
for a 30-day stay of execution.
1742
01:42:13,083 --> 01:42:15,564
You don't have to shout.
There's an intercom, you know.
1743
01:42:20,960 --> 01:42:24,007
And find out how late
the governor's office is open.
1744
01:42:33,234 --> 01:42:34,148
Hi.
1745
01:42:35,279 --> 01:42:36,237
Hi.
1746
01:42:38,239 --> 01:42:39,153
Thanks for coming.
1747
01:42:41,720 --> 01:42:42,852
How you been?
1748
01:42:46,072 --> 01:42:47,335
-Good.
-Good.
1749
01:42:49,032 --> 01:42:50,120
You look good.
1750
01:42:51,252 --> 01:42:52,949
-No, I don't.
-Yeah, you do.
1751
01:42:53,602 --> 01:42:54,907
Them eyes, now.
1752
01:43:00,783 --> 01:43:02,785
You been wanting me to come here
all these years,
1753
01:43:02,828 --> 01:43:04,178
what's on your mind?
1754
01:43:06,789 --> 01:43:09,139
Ms. Gilbert says my only chance
now
1755
01:43:09,183 --> 01:43:11,010
is stay of execution
from the Governor.
1756
01:43:12,316 --> 01:43:13,970
I just need a statement
from you.
1757
01:43:15,493 --> 01:43:16,799
I don't think that
1758
01:43:16,842 --> 01:43:18,496
-I can do that, Todd.
-Why not?
1759
01:43:18,540 --> 01:43:19,758
You know I already wrote
a letter
1760
01:43:19,802 --> 01:43:21,020
to Governor Ann Richards
1761
01:43:21,064 --> 01:43:22,326
trying to defend you,
she didn't respond.
1762
01:43:22,370 --> 01:43:23,632
You just gotta go
to Governor Perry.
1763
01:43:23,675 --> 01:43:24,807
Otherwise,
I don't get my pardon.
1764
01:43:24,850 --> 01:43:26,330
I've been the only one
defending you
1765
01:43:26,374 --> 01:43:28,245
-this whole time.
-What's stopping you now then?
1766
01:43:28,289 --> 01:43:30,247
A lot of things.
Grandma. Do you have any idea
1767
01:43:30,291 --> 01:43:31,727
how many people
don't want me to do that?
1768
01:43:31,770 --> 01:43:33,032
Well, there's only you.
1769
01:43:35,948 --> 01:43:37,689
I just don't think that
I can do that.
1770
01:43:37,733 --> 01:43:39,735
-Why'd you come here then?
-We were married,
1771
01:43:39,778 --> 01:43:41,780
-weren't we? I figured I should.
-That ain't the reason.
1772
01:43:42,041 --> 01:43:44,392
I think you feel guilty you
never helped me with my case.
1773
01:43:44,435 --> 01:43:47,177
-Hold on a second.
-Where'd all that money go, huh?
1774
01:43:47,395 --> 01:43:48,657
-What?
-All the insurance money
1775
01:43:48,700 --> 01:43:50,049
I could've used
to get me a lawyer?
1776
01:43:50,093 --> 01:43:51,355
To me trying to survive
1777
01:43:51,399 --> 01:43:52,617
-and rebuild my life.
-To you?
1778
01:43:52,661 --> 01:43:53,662
Making your hair look nice?
1779
01:43:55,229 --> 01:43:57,274
-Them nails look expensive.
-Yeah. That's where it went.
1780
01:43:57,318 --> 01:43:58,710
Making yourself look pretty
around town.
1781
01:43:58,754 --> 01:44:00,669
-Wow.
-While you cut me off.
1782
01:44:00,712 --> 01:44:03,367
-Fucked all kinds of idiots.
-Oh, you should talk.
1783
01:44:03,411 --> 01:44:05,021
Do you have any idea
the stories I have to sit
1784
01:44:05,064 --> 01:44:06,718
and listen to, all the girls
wanna brag about
1785
01:44:06,762 --> 01:44:08,111
fucking a guy
on death row?
1786
01:44:08,154 --> 01:44:09,286
It's all true.
1787
01:44:09,330 --> 01:44:10,940
-It's all true.
-Yeah, I know.
1788
01:44:10,983 --> 01:44:14,335
-They all fuck the baby killer.
-Wow. You haven't changed a bit.
1789
01:44:14,378 --> 01:44:16,206
How the fuck would you know?
1790
01:44:17,076 --> 01:44:18,861
How the fuck would you know,
huh?
1791
01:44:18,904 --> 01:44:20,602
Because I know you,
Todd Willingham.
1792
01:44:20,645 --> 01:44:22,038
Twelve years, bitch.
1793
01:44:22,081 --> 01:44:24,083
Twelve years it's taken you
to pluck up the courage
1794
01:44:24,127 --> 01:44:25,084
to come see me.
1795
01:44:25,346 --> 01:44:26,651
Why didn't you
come see me once?
1796
01:44:26,695 --> 01:44:29,132
Because they told me
that you killed my babies!
1797
01:44:29,175 --> 01:44:31,308
Hey, that's enough.
1798
01:44:42,406 --> 01:44:43,799
But you know I didn't.
1799
01:44:45,322 --> 01:44:48,369
You know I wouldn't hurt them
kids, Stacy. You know.
1800
01:44:50,458 --> 01:44:53,983
I spent 12 years thinking about
it now. I remember everything.
1801
01:44:54,766 --> 01:44:58,030
I remember everything, Stacy.
And I'm sorry, I apologize
1802
01:44:58,074 --> 01:45:00,946
if I ever hurt you,
but I loved you, Stacy.
1803
01:45:00,990 --> 01:45:02,731
-Todd, please, stop it.
-I loved you.
1804
01:45:02,774 --> 01:45:04,646
Now, we made three beautiful
children.
1805
01:45:04,689 --> 01:45:05,908
-They're gone--
-No, please stop.
1806
01:45:05,951 --> 01:45:07,344
...and I am paying for it now.
1807
01:45:07,388 --> 01:45:09,390
But I'm just asking this one
thing now, please.
1808
01:45:09,433 --> 01:45:10,739
No.
1809
01:45:10,782 --> 01:45:12,218
-I'm begging you.
-Oh, God.
1810
01:45:12,262 --> 01:45:14,482
-Just this one thing, please.
-I'm sorry, I got to go.
1811
01:45:36,721 --> 01:45:37,722
Hey.
1812
01:45:38,419 --> 01:45:39,376
They're...
1813
01:45:41,335 --> 01:45:42,988
They're moving you closer
to the chamber.
1814
01:45:51,954 --> 01:45:55,087
-You're done, fucker.
-Mind the wind, brother.
1815
01:45:59,440 --> 01:46:00,745
Go gently, my friend.
1816
01:46:06,055 --> 01:46:07,578
Keep your head up, Todd.
1817
01:46:08,884 --> 01:46:11,016
- Be strong, brother.
- Be strong.
1818
01:46:11,887 --> 01:46:14,542
Hey, you remember that
Hail Mary?
1819
01:46:14,585 --> 01:46:17,414
Roger Staubach through
in the playoffs
1820
01:46:17,458 --> 01:46:19,416
against the Vikings
in '75?
1821
01:46:19,460 --> 01:46:20,461
Yes, sir.
1822
01:46:22,941 --> 01:46:23,942
Come on.
1823
01:46:27,772 --> 01:46:29,600
Down 14-10...
1824
01:46:31,559 --> 01:46:33,474
24 seconds left.
1825
01:46:34,170 --> 01:46:36,041
He just rears back...
1826
01:46:36,694 --> 01:46:38,435
and lets that baby fly.
1827
01:46:40,959 --> 01:46:45,224
And somehow, it bounces off
the defensive halfback...
1828
01:46:46,922 --> 01:46:50,882
and right into the hand
of Drew Pearson...
1829
01:46:52,623 --> 01:46:54,277
touchdown Cowboys.
1830
01:46:55,234 --> 01:46:56,671
Unbelievable.
1831
01:47:01,284 --> 01:47:02,590
It's what you need, brother.
1832
01:47:04,722 --> 01:47:05,854
A Hail Mary.
1833
01:47:10,772 --> 01:47:12,251
I wish I could throw it for you.
1834
01:47:20,738 --> 01:47:22,392
...thy womb, Jesus.
1835
01:47:23,219 --> 01:47:25,047
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
1836
01:47:26,657 --> 01:47:28,224
pray for us sinners, now...
1837
01:47:29,747 --> 01:47:32,750
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
1838
01:47:32,794 --> 01:47:35,840
For Todd Willingham scheduled
to be executed
1839
01:47:35,884 --> 01:47:36,928
in just five days.
1840
01:47:38,321 --> 01:47:41,063
This marks the end
of a 12-year-old...
1841
01:47:41,106 --> 01:47:44,806
Hey, you got a pen and paper,
or something?
1842
01:47:46,547 --> 01:47:47,635
Here you go.
1843
01:47:49,071 --> 01:47:50,028
...Todd Willingham's fate.
1844
01:47:51,421 --> 01:47:53,554
This is a town of good
and simple people.
1845
01:47:55,904 --> 01:47:57,688
To whom it may concern.
1846
01:47:58,559 --> 01:48:01,475
My name is Johnny Webb.
1847
01:48:02,476 --> 01:48:06,088
I was forced to testify against
Mr. Willingham by
1848
01:48:06,131 --> 01:48:09,787
the district attorney's office
and other officials.
1849
01:48:10,179 --> 01:48:11,963
I'm given no other choice,
1850
01:48:12,311 --> 01:48:15,314
but to recant my testimony
at this time.
1851
01:48:16,185 --> 01:48:19,754
Mr. Willingham is innocent
of all charges.
1852
01:48:31,026 --> 01:48:33,202
They're gonna take Daddy
away now, honey.
1853
01:48:38,207 --> 01:48:40,339
I don't know.
They just say it's my time.
1854
01:48:47,085 --> 01:48:48,783
I'm gonna miss you too.
1855
01:48:50,654 --> 01:48:52,264
I'm gonna really miss you.
1856
01:48:59,141 --> 01:49:01,012
That day in the fire, if I...
1857
01:49:03,493 --> 01:49:05,103
If I could've just saved you.
1858
01:49:11,370 --> 01:49:12,371
Amber.
1859
01:49:22,207 --> 01:49:23,513
Come on, honey.
1860
01:49:23,557 --> 01:49:24,558
It'll be okay.
1861
01:49:25,254 --> 01:49:27,125
Just let your brother do
all the talking.
1862
01:49:30,607 --> 01:49:32,870
Ms. Kuykendall, what do you have
to share with us?
1863
01:49:32,914 --> 01:49:34,698
Can you tell us what happened?
1864
01:49:34,742 --> 01:49:36,570
Can you tell us
what happened, please?
1865
01:49:36,613 --> 01:49:37,788
What would you like to share?
1866
01:49:39,877 --> 01:49:42,140
Regardless of what's been said
in the past,
1867
01:49:42,663 --> 01:49:44,578
I have here my affidavit.
1868
01:49:46,667 --> 01:49:49,017
It says Todd confessed to her
when she visited him in prison.
1869
01:49:49,974 --> 01:49:51,628
Texas is doing the right thing
1870
01:49:51,672 --> 01:49:53,325
making that monster pay for
what he did.
1871
01:49:53,369 --> 01:49:55,458
Come on.
That's all we have to say.
1872
01:50:06,687 --> 01:50:10,299
You know her granddaddy took out
an insurance policy on the kids?
1873
01:50:12,518 --> 01:50:14,433
Cashed it right after the fire.
1874
01:50:17,523 --> 01:50:18,612
She's terrified.
1875
01:50:21,005 --> 01:50:23,573
They're all running scared
after this Hurst report.
1876
01:50:28,360 --> 01:50:30,449
I asked my mom and dad
not to come.
1877
01:50:31,450 --> 01:50:33,191
It would be too much for them.
1878
01:50:34,671 --> 01:50:35,629
Yeah.
1879
01:50:39,284 --> 01:50:42,418
You know, the report's on
the Governor's desk right now.
1880
01:50:42,461 --> 01:50:43,637
Governor Perry?
1881
01:50:45,029 --> 01:50:46,030
Yeah.
1882
01:51:01,263 --> 01:51:03,047
I'm getting scared now, Liz.
1883
01:51:06,747 --> 01:51:08,139
Not about dying.
1884
01:51:09,271 --> 01:51:12,404
They said it's gonna hurt,
they say it hurts so much.
1885
01:51:22,066 --> 01:51:23,589
You're gonna be there, right?
1886
01:51:27,637 --> 01:51:28,507
Promise.
1887
01:51:30,248 --> 01:51:31,119
Good.
1888
01:51:34,600 --> 01:51:36,341
I don't wanna die alone.
1889
01:51:42,434 --> 01:51:45,568
Mama, are you okay?
1890
01:51:50,399 --> 01:51:52,140
They're gonna kill him tomorrow.
1891
01:51:57,623 --> 01:51:58,712
I failed.
1892
01:51:59,669 --> 01:52:00,670
No.
1893
01:52:06,458 --> 01:52:10,071
I let him down.
If I had found Hurst sooner...
1894
01:52:10,767 --> 01:52:13,204
No, Mama.
No, Mama, you didn't.
1895
01:52:14,510 --> 01:52:16,164
You did so much for him.
1896
01:52:18,470 --> 01:52:20,690
I guess I thought
the right thing would win.
1897
01:52:23,258 --> 01:52:25,651
I thought the right thing
would win.
1898
01:52:29,655 --> 01:52:30,613
I'm sorry.
1899
01:52:32,006 --> 01:52:35,531
-I'm so, so sorry.
-No, I'm sorry.
1900
01:52:36,445 --> 01:52:39,622
That you had to learn such
a shitty truth about the world.
1901
01:52:41,842 --> 01:52:42,756
No.
1902
01:53:05,387 --> 01:53:08,433
Paul, I am telling you
the Governor has not read this.
1903
01:53:10,261 --> 01:53:12,698
Because it's proof.
1904
01:53:13,569 --> 01:53:16,790
Just please find somebody
who will make him read it.
1905
01:53:29,411 --> 01:53:30,978
- Yo!
- Yeah?
1906
01:53:31,021 --> 01:53:32,066
How long?
1907
01:53:32,109 --> 01:53:33,545
Hour and a half maybe.
1908
01:53:34,895 --> 01:53:36,244
Ain't nobody called?
1909
01:53:37,462 --> 01:53:38,681
I'm sorry, brother.
1910
01:53:38,986 --> 01:53:41,162
I'm definitely expecting
a phone call, boss.
1911
01:53:41,205 --> 01:53:43,164
-I know.
-Elizabeth Gilbert,
1912
01:53:43,207 --> 01:53:45,122
you let me know
the second she calls, right?
1913
01:53:45,166 --> 01:53:46,167
I promise.
1914
01:53:53,304 --> 01:53:54,392
You all right?
1915
01:53:57,787 --> 01:53:58,875
Yeah, I know.
1916
01:54:03,053 --> 01:54:04,098
Fuck.
1917
01:54:09,320 --> 01:54:10,931
She's critical, but stable.
1918
01:54:10,974 --> 01:54:12,628
We're confident
she'll pull through.
1919
01:54:13,498 --> 01:54:15,631
Unfortunately,
her neck is broken.
1920
01:54:16,066 --> 01:54:18,286
We're not sure if she'll ever be
able to walk again.
1921
01:54:21,245 --> 01:54:23,204
They're taking her into surgery
now.
1922
01:54:56,672 --> 01:54:57,673
Shit.
1923
01:55:03,592 --> 01:55:04,593
It's time.
1924
01:55:07,074 --> 01:55:08,510
Come on, now, get up.
1925
01:55:11,600 --> 01:55:12,993
All right. Let's do it.
1926
01:55:18,215 --> 01:55:20,870
Are you ready? One, two, three.
1927
01:55:20,914 --> 01:55:22,480
No!
1928
01:55:23,742 --> 01:55:24,743
No!
1929
01:55:25,527 --> 01:55:26,528
No!
1930
01:55:27,616 --> 01:55:28,878
No!
1931
01:56:04,261 --> 01:56:05,915
She don't have to be here,
does she?
1932
01:56:05,959 --> 01:56:07,569
-It doesn't matter, brother.
-My ex-wife.
1933
01:56:07,612 --> 01:56:08,613
I can't do that.
1934
01:56:13,705 --> 01:56:15,969
I hope you rot in hell,
you bitch!
1935
01:56:18,449 --> 01:56:20,234
You have any final words, son?
1936
01:56:20,538 --> 01:56:21,670
Yes, sir.
1937
01:56:26,980 --> 01:56:28,764
I am an innocent man.
1938
01:56:30,374 --> 01:56:33,987
Convicted of unspeakably heinous
crime, which I did not commit.
1939
01:56:35,858 --> 01:56:38,382
Twelve years
I've been wrongly persecuted...
1940
01:56:41,081 --> 01:56:43,605
despite me
maintaining my innocence.
1941
01:56:47,217 --> 01:56:50,046
It is my dying wish
that my body be cremated.
1942
01:56:53,441 --> 01:56:56,922
And then my ashes spread across
my daughter's graves.
1943
01:57:03,799 --> 01:57:05,583
From God's dust I came...
1944
01:57:08,064 --> 01:57:11,589
now, to God's dust
I judiciously return.
1945
01:57:16,551 --> 01:57:18,683
Then the earth shall be
my throne.
1946
01:57:23,123 --> 01:57:24,385
All right then, y'all.
1947
01:59:53,055 --> 01:59:54,056
Thank you.
1948
02:00:12,161 --> 02:00:13,293
Hey, groovy lady.
1949
02:00:13,858 --> 02:00:15,643
I'm wondering where you are.
1950
02:00:16,905 --> 02:00:19,037
I guess something big
must have come up.
1951
02:00:20,952 --> 02:00:22,954
When you read this,
I'll be gone,
1952
02:00:23,825 --> 02:00:26,436
but I wanted to tell you
about this dream I had.
1953
02:00:28,830 --> 02:00:31,485
Me and my girls are out
for a walk or some such.
1954
02:00:31,920 --> 02:00:34,052
-Can you get me one?
-No, not that one.
1955
02:00:34,096 --> 02:00:35,967
I don't want that one.
Get me-- Get me this one.
1956
02:00:36,751 --> 02:00:38,492
-Good.
-I got two.
1957
02:00:38,535 --> 02:00:40,755
It was one of those cool,
fall days.
1958
02:00:41,930 --> 02:00:43,975
Football weather
my daddy used to call it.
1959
02:00:44,019 --> 02:00:45,020
You got that for me?
1960
02:00:46,630 --> 02:00:48,023
Today was the last day,
yesterday was the last day,
1961
02:00:48,066 --> 02:00:50,243
today we're doing it, this week,
next week...
1962
02:00:50,286 --> 02:00:52,419
Funny thing is,
you were there too.
1963
02:00:53,637 --> 02:00:55,465
Out for a walk, I guess.
1964
02:01:25,016 --> 02:01:25,930
Okay.
1965
02:01:35,592 --> 02:01:37,333
I suppose there's lots
of reasons
1966
02:01:37,377 --> 02:01:38,682
to feel sorry for myself.
1967
02:01:40,118 --> 02:01:41,903
My greatest regret
is not being allowed
1968
02:01:41,946 --> 02:01:43,557
to be buried beside my girls.
1969
02:01:45,254 --> 02:01:49,389
But thanks to you,
I have tried to make my peace.
1970
02:01:57,222 --> 02:01:59,573
You showed me that love
is always there
1971
02:01:59,616 --> 02:02:01,314
if you just
open yourself to it.
1972
02:02:02,010 --> 02:02:04,926
You helped me to learn to enjoy
the simple blessings
1973
02:02:04,969 --> 02:02:05,883
of being alive.
1974
02:02:07,407 --> 02:02:09,583
I only wish I had something
to give you in return.
1975
02:02:10,453 --> 02:02:12,890
Besides my love, always.
1976
02:02:14,283 --> 02:02:16,894
Yours truly, Todd.
1977
02:02:18,722 --> 02:02:20,245
Okay. Let's go.
1978
02:03:12,472 --> 02:03:14,474
Governor Perry,
question about Texas.
1979
02:03:15,344 --> 02:03:19,217
Your State has executed
234 death row inmates,
1980
02:03:19,261 --> 02:03:21,611
more than any other governor
in modern times.
1981
02:03:22,090 --> 02:03:24,222
-Have you--
1982
02:03:24,266 --> 02:03:26,747
Have you struggled
to sleep at night
1983
02:03:26,790 --> 02:03:30,141
with the idea that
any one of those
1984
02:03:30,185 --> 02:03:32,317
might have been innocent?
1985
02:03:32,361 --> 02:03:34,581
No, sir, I've never struggled
with that at all.
1986
02:03:34,885 --> 02:03:39,499
The State of Texas
has a very thoughtful,
1987
02:03:40,238 --> 02:03:42,632
a very clear...
1988
02:03:44,199 --> 02:03:46,854
process in place
of which when someone commits
1989
02:03:46,897 --> 02:03:49,683
the most heinous of crimes
against our citizens,
1990
02:03:50,074 --> 02:03:53,774
they get a fair hearing, they go
through an appellate process.
1991
02:03:54,252 --> 02:03:56,820
They go up to the Supreme Court
of United States
1992
02:03:56,864 --> 02:03:58,343
if that's required,
1993
02:03:58,387 --> 02:04:02,217
but in the State of Texas,
if you come in to our state,
1994
02:04:02,652 --> 02:04:04,306
and you kill
one of our children,
1995
02:04:04,698 --> 02:04:06,221
you kill a police officer,
1996
02:04:06,264 --> 02:04:08,049
you're involved with
another crime
1997
02:04:08,092 --> 02:04:09,746
and you kill
one of our citizens,
1998
02:04:10,617 --> 02:04:14,925
you will face the ultimate
justice in the State of Texas.
1999
02:04:14,969 --> 02:04:17,145
And that is
you will be executed.
2000
02:04:17,188 --> 02:04:18,842
What do you make of--
138632
