Hi.

You must be Tiffany,
Mr. Kurezar's niece.

Uh, he told me--
Dope eye mask. Is that satin?

Silk. 100%.

Uh, I know

that you are only
house-sitting for one week,

so you may not be aware

that quiet hours begin

at 11:00 p.m.

Quiet!

Quiet, everyone!

Hi, good morning, Jessica.

Good morning. Morning.

You're late. I was worried.

Oh, Susan.

I didn't sleep last night
for a variety of reasons.

Good morning, Noojin.
Um, okay.

Thank you.
Well, first things first--

and I can't believe
I'm saying this--

Jesse has requested for his
last meal a burger and fries.

Oh, Susan.
This may be your first

death penalty case,
but don't worry.

We're never going to
get to that point.

And they always
request comfort food.

I just...

I keep checking my watch,
dreading that 6:00 p.m.

Susan, the execution is
not going to go forward.

Uh, either the governor will
commute the sentence,

or the judge will approve
the stay of execution.

Jesse is not going
to die today.

It's just, all of this
last-minute scrambling

is so nerve-racking.

I know, believe me,
it's always like that

in these cases, always,
but here is the motion.

Now, I want you to take it
down to the courthouse

and file it right away, go.

Okay. Got it.
Yeah. It's gonna be okay.

Thank you. Great.

Good morning, Francey.

Have you heard back
from the governor yet?

No. I've called four times.
Well, make it five.

Okay. Oh, and the journalist
from the Portland Sentinel

is waiting in your office.

And your 10:00 a.m. is
also waiting.

What 10:00 a.m.? 10:00 a.m.?
I don't have a 10:00 a.m.

Oh.

I just assumed she booked
directly with you.

She said she...

What is that?

It's a Cube-Brick.

Some new device

for video calling,
video meetings, whatever.

Folding wanted it.

Of course Folding wanted it.

Probably to spy on us.

He can't spy
unless someone turns it on.

Hmm.

I'll just put it
in the conference room.

Super.

Maybe then Folding can attend
one of the board meetings

for once.

But, wait, wait,
the 10:00 a.m.

I'll put her
in the conference room, too.

Until you can
squeeze her in.

Well, I-I don't know
that I can squeeze her in.

Can you see me,
you weird little thing?

Todd?

Good God, is that what
you're wearing to the office?

I mean, really,

it's as if we don't pay you
at all.

Good morning to you as well,
Mother, it's lovely to see you

on this lovely day.

Todd, it is as if you have been

wrestling with
tea bags.

Look, everything
I own is stained.

There was a leak
in Allison's garage.

Well, Chuck's garage.

Anyway, rain and mud just poured
right into the cardboard box

of my clothes,
and now I don't--

Todd, you're gonna have
to move out of there, someday.

Someday soon.
What if Allison never--

Look, I get it,
but it's easy and it's cheap,

and I think Chuck would miss me.

He leaves these little
chocolates on my pillows,

and he makes me an incredible
breakfast burrito every morning.

Really, Todd?

That is what is
important to you?

Chuck's chocolates
and breakfast burritos?

I mean, not security

and financial independence,
and a home of your own?

Are you just gonna keep
mooching off of people forever?

Hmm.

Okay, well, don't you have
anything else that you can wear?

Well, I have
my emergency T-shirt.

Yes, yes, go do that.

It is bound to be
better than that.

I'll see you later.
Uh, I've got a busy day.

Oh, right. 6:00 p.m.

Today's the execution of...

Today is not the execution
of Jesse Flegelson.

Okay.

Screw burritos.
This is amazing.

Good morning...

uh, Elise?

Yes, from the
Portland Sentinel.

So nice to finally meet you.

It's a 1961 Château Lauzat.
I'm impressed.

As am I.

It-it was a gift,

but when do you open such a rare
bottle of wine, if ever?

Here, sit down, please.

My son-in-law, Chet,
was right about you.

That article that
you did last week

on the water bureau scandal
in Scappoose, excellent.

Oh, thank you.

You know, I was hesitant

to write about
the Jesse Flegelson case.

It just,
it seemed so sad and scary.

Inhumane. Unjust. Wrong.

Can we start with the basic
details, if you don't mind?

Of course.

Jesse Flegelson was,
uh, Vivian Perrin's caregiver

for nine years.

Vivian was
82 years old,

and they were
actually very close.

In fact, Vivian left a provision
for Jesse in her will.

Right, which is
why the police thought

that he killed her,
for the money.

Yes, yes.
Five years ago,

Vivian was found
at the bottom of her stairs,

neck broken--
she had been thrown.

The police never even considered
another suspect.

This is the
original article.

And-and Jesse claims that

he was not home alone
with Vivian that day.

He says an exterminator...
Uh, yes.

Jesse maintains
that an exterminator,

wearing a large ventilation mask

that completely covered
his face,

came to the house unannounced

to spray the attic.

Jesse went downstairs
to make lunch,

and Vivian was upstairs
taking a nap.

Then Jesse found her body,

and the exterminator
was gone.

And no one could ever prove,
had any evidence,

that the exterminator
had ever been there.

And you believe Jesse,
you think he's innocent.

Completely.

Here's the clemency video
we produced for Jesse.

Perfect timing.

Lyle, Elise.
Elise, Lyle.

I'm Jesse Flegelson.

Oregon death row inmate.

I know you don't know me, but...

I knew Vivian Perrin.

I did everything for her.

I cooked for her, I bathed her.

I dressed her,
we played Scrabble every day.

She was like family to me,

and I miss her.

I'm innocent,

and I'm wondering if you could
find it in your heart

to grant me clemency,

so that I am not executed
on April 27.

Wow. That's, um...

That's heart-wrenching.

Videos like this,

and stories like yours,
are all part of our plan

to bring attention
to our client.

They help us to get
the public on our side,

and the governor.

Uh, and thankfully,

the governor has agreed
to make that phone call today

to reduce Jesse's death sentence
to life imprisonment.

But at the same time,

you guys are filing
an emergency motion

to stay the execution?

Yes, and that motion is based
on new evidence

found just last week
by my investigator, Todd.

But no, no,

don't put his name
in the paper.

That'll just swell his head.

Since I took the case over
six months ago, Todd-- we--

found a new witness

who saw a man
walking through the woods

that day near Vivian's house.

He was wearing a work suit

exactly the one
that Jesse described,

and he had a scar right here
on his forehead.

It is the exterminator.

Uh, he's the real killer.
I am sure of it.

You know, I have to ask--

a woman pushed down
a flight of stairs,

can you really get
the death penalty for that?

If the accused is Black
and the victim is white, yes.

According to
the 2020 census,

14% of the U.S. population
identify as Black,

while 71% identify as white.

But, on death row,
the current population is

41% Black and 42% white.

That is systemic racism,
right there.

I mean, not to mention...

Mar,
the governor's appendix burst.

She's in surgery
at the hospital.

She's supposed to make the
call to stay the execution.

I'll see what
I can find out.

Okay, thank you.

Elise, I'm so sorry,
will you excuse us?

Of course,
and thank you.

I'll be covering the story
all day today.

Just contact me
if anything develops.

Thank you so much.

Mom, I'm busy. I can't--

Allison, how long is
an appendectomy?

Um, like two to four inches.

Not the incision,
the procedure.

Oh. An hour.

If it burst, they'll need
to clean out the abdomen,

patient'll come out
of anesthesia.

Maybe three hours?

Why? Who-- Wait,
we're not talking about

your appendix, are we?
Three hours.

Okay, three hours.
That gives us till 2:00.

We'll be fine,
it's plenty of time.

Uh, no, no, no, honey.

Not mine, not mine.
Okay, um,

I'm coming by your office
tonight to get my--

Uh, Allison, listen,

I-I really can't talk
right now.

Ma, you called me.

Oh. You're right. Sorry.

Um, listen, sweetheart,

I-I will see you up here
later on.

Bye.

We will just get the judge
to grant the motion,

and it will be okay.

Okay.

Don't worry, Francey.

Oregon has not executed anyone

for 26 years,

and we are not going to start today.

Right. Right. All right.

It's gonna be a long day.

Mm.

Oh.

Uh, that 10:00 a.m. walk-in is
still in the conference room.

Oh! I completely forgot
about her.

Good morning, Noojin.

Uh, send flowers to the governor
in the hospital, please.

I'll take care
of it right away.

Uh, excuse me.

Hi, good morning.

I'm Margaret Wright.
Did you--

I'm here about Jesse Flegelson.

Oh. Really?

Uh, all right.

Uh, are you a journalist or...

You will reverse everything
you've done to help him.

The appeals,
the governor, everything.

Jesse will be executed
at 6:00 p.m. tonight.

Or everyone in this office
will die.

This is outrageous.

How do I even know
that's a real bomb?

It's real, believe me.

And Jesse will be executed
today at 6:00 p.m.,

on schedule.

Or this bomb goes off.

I don't believe you.
I'm calling the police.

Don't move.

Let go of the doorknob
and sit down.

You're willing to blow up
this whole building

and yourself?

Are you really this desperate?

Yes.

Why don't you tell me
what you need,

and-and maybe I can help.

W-Well, who are you?

Why do you want Jesse dead?

You may not
know this,

but he is innocent.
Just stop it!

I'm in control here,

and you'll do as I say.

It will be business as usual
around the office today.

You will not tell anyone
what's going on.

You'll undo or stop everything
that you've done to help Jesse.

And let him die.

I have spent the last six months
fighting to save his life.

And now you're saving the lives

of all the people
in this office.

You want me to trade
one life for 80?

How do you
expect me to...

I don't have my things.

I don't, I don't have
my phone, my computer.

I cannot work from here.

All of my-my case files,
they're in my office.

Then we'll go get them,
and we'll come right back.

Smile, Margaret.

Cindy. Cindy. Oh!

Oh, you shouldn't be here.

Your ankles are so swollen.

I want you to go home.
You can work from there.

And, Bob, you walk her down.

Oh, really? Thank you.

Of course.
Hi, Ms. Wright.

Yes? Uh-huh.
I'm going to get the lunch
for the E.L.S.E. meeting.

Where did you want
to order from?

We can do sandwiches,
Thai, a cheese board?

Uh, no food.
Cancel the meeting.
Cancel it?

Yes, yes.
I-I'm just so busy today.

This is my new client.

What did you say
your name was again?

Uh, cancel the meeting, okay?

Tell everyone not to come in.
Thank you.

Don't do that again.

Don't talk to anyone.

I am not going to let you
start killing innocent people,

like Jesse.

Do you really expect me to just
suddenly do an about-face

and start arguing
for the death penalty?

No one will believe it.

I don't care!

You will do that exact--

Hey.
Ah!

Relax. I am so sorry
about that. Are you okay?

I didn't see you there,
behind the...
Todd?

What are you wearing?

Oh, this is
my emergency T-shirt,

for laundry day
and emergencies.

Pizza emergencies?

I mean, you never know.

Who's, uh, this--
God!

It's worse than the shirt before.

Well, you're the one
who told me to change.

Hi, I am Todd,
by the way.

I'm so sorry about
the door. Are you--
Todd!

You are fired.

Yeah, yeah, whatever.

Are you ok--
You are fired.

I want you to collect
your things, all of your things,

and-and get out.

Fired.

No longer working here.

Are you being serious?

Because of my
"Pizza Attack Now!" T-shirt?

Yes, you do not know
how to dress professionally.

You do not act professionally.

Oh, is this because I expensed,

like, 17 lunches to Lyle?
You know, I could

put the other shirt back on.
...have a very busy day--

day today...
Or I could easily wear a coat.

Why are you
acting like this?
...and I-I,

I cannot take it anymore.

Todd, you are fired

because of your mishandling
of the Hedges case.

What? The Hedges case?
I have my things.
Let's go.

Get out. Go.
What?

No. Mom. Fired.

You know, I am two months away

from getting
my PI license back.

Then you can fire me.

Mom.

Hey, Francey?

Hmm?

Who's that woman with my mom?

Who? Oh, that lady?

I don't know.
Some walk-in appointment.

What the hell are you wearing?

My mom just fired me.

Eh, it's about time.
No, I'm serious.

For my work on the Hedges case?

I've never even heard
of the Hedges case.

Something weird
is going on with her.

We had a
Hedges case.

Six, seven years ago.

Yeah?
It would be filed
in your office.

Should we go get it?

Okay, no more nonsense.
What do you have to do first?

To reverse the appeal
for Jesse's stay of execution,

first, I'd have
to withdraw the motion.

And how do you do that?

I call my associate Susan.

Do it. Now.

Hey, Margaret.

Susan.

I need you to withdraw
the emergency motion

for the stay
of execution.

W-Wait, what?

What are you talking about?
I-I just filed it.

It's not going to work.

Undo it.
But why?

We worked so hard on it.

It doesn't matter.
Please, just do it.

Margaret, no. If we withdraw
this, Jesse could die.

Susan, I am your boss.

Stop questioning me.

Just do it now.

The motion will
be withdrawn.

The governor is already
out of commission.

So, now?

We wait.

Wait, Hedges was a person?

Zis Hedges walked into city hall

and demanded that they
not tear down his home,

eminent domain,
blah, blah, blah.

He didn't want to leave.

Is this about me
and Chuck's garage?
Ay-yi-yi.

"He walked in with a bomb
in his briefcase."

Is your mom
trying to tell us...
That there's a bomb?

Wait, did the walk-in
lady have a briefcase?

No, she didn't have anything.

She didn't even
have an appointment.

Should we call the police?

Uh, should I just go ask
her if she has a bomb?

No. What are you, stupid?

Well, how else do we
find out what's going on?

I put that dumb Cube-Brick
thing in the conference room

but someone would
have to turn it on.

Wait, "Cube-Brick"?
Like "Kubrick"?

Like Stanley?
Like 2001?

Like Eyes Wide... Shut?

Wait.
What?

There is another way
into that room.

Yeah?

How wide are your hips?

What is this?

All you have to do
is crawl in, turn right,

and then you'll be in that long
cabinet in the conference room.

Uh, okay, Francey-ana Jones
and the Temple of the Law Firm.

I see you.
Well, somebody's got to know
all the law firm secrets.

All right. In.

Go. Go, go. Okay.

Watch your head. Okay.

It's the warden.

Answer it.

Shh.

Oh, sweet.

Come on.

"Come out
to the conference room.

We'll get together,
have a few laughs."

WARDEN
Margaret,

on behalf of everyone here

at the state penitentiary,
I-I got to tell you,

we just heard your motion
was withdrawn,

and we're very, very confused.

Um, yeah, well, I-I...

Portland hasn't had
an execution in decades.

Why would we do one today?
Uh...

Well-well, one-one might argue
that, uh, society

has an o... an obligation,
under the law,

to protect its citizens,
and that fear of death

is ultimately
what-what maintains order

and-and prevents, uh,

society from-from
breaking the rules.

No.
Okay, just...

just calm down.

I am not covering the camera.

You can't see anything?

I don't know.

Someone banged into me
with a door

and I-I think it's broken.

I can hear you fine.

I'm not covering
the camera. Please.

I'm doing everything
you told me.

Please. Okay.

Calm down. I know.

Who is she talking to?

MAN
I just need you to stay calm.

Don't let her out of your sight.

Everything is going
according to plan.

Francey?

Francey? Whoa!

Oh, my God.

Wait, where are we?

We're in the Matrix.

We are?

No, we're in the IT closet.

Oh. Oh. I didn't even know
this was here.

Wait, how many secret rooms
does this firm have?

This place is our escape
for when certain people

are annoying us.

You two are meeting in secret?

Wait, you have
a cappuccino machine in here?

See, I told you we shouldn't
have brought him in here.

This is a one-time thing.

Uh, okay, look, I had
to tell Lyle what was going on.

What did you find out
in the conference room?

That woman definitely has
something strapped to her body.

But she's taking orders
from someone else.

She has an earpiece.

What did the explosives
look like? C-4? Cyclonite?

I don't know, super explodey,
with, like, wires,

jacked up with duct tape.
It's so cool.

I mean, not for us.
I don't know, it's a bomb, Lyle.

I'm calling the police.
No, no, no, no.
Haven't you ever watched

a movie
or any television show ever?

She is talking to someone
on the outside.

The evil mastermind.

And they are 100%
watching the building,

so if the police show up, kablooey.

Yeah, I-I don't know,
I-I think I'm with Todd.

I mean, Margaret is smart.

If she wanted us
to call the cops, she would

figure out a way to let us know.

Well, if we don't
call for backup...

For right now...

it's up to us.

Exactly as we discussed.

Hello, Susan?

I withdrew the motion,

but I still think
this is insane.

The governor could be
in surgery for hours,

and without the stay,
Jesse could...
Thank you.

Now I need you to check
the area for a burger and fries.

I want you to bring
Jesse his last meal.

And...

And stay with him till the end.

The last face he sees
should be one of kindness.

Margaret, this doesn't
make any sense.

I'm sorry.

Some things are just
out of our control.

Thank you, Susan.

We need to get people
out of here.

We can't have a
stampede for the exit,

in case anyone
is watching.

No, we have to do this slow.

No panic. We will tell people
one at a time.

Just space it out.

And we need an excuse.

Uh, gas leak? Toxic fumes?

Black mold.
It's the new asbestos.

That's why they evacuated
the ninth floor three years ago.

We have to...

Francey, change your ringtone.

No, no, no, it's just,
it's-- oh, it's Susan.

Hey, Susan, uh, you're
on speaker with me and Lyle.

What the hell? Margaret
made me pull the stay

for the motion of Jesse's
execution. Is she drunk?

She what? She's been working
on that case for months. Yeah.

Why would she do that?
Hold on, hold on.

Maybe it's connected.

Is that Todd?

What's connected?

The woman, the stay, the bomb.

Bomb?

Um, uh, Susan, I-I know

you're not speaking
with me, but hello,

and my mom may be being held
hostage in conference room A.

Or B. It's the big one.
The one next to the...

That doesn't matter.
Yes, it does,

if she's trying to paint
a picture in her mind, Lyle.

This isn't funny, Todd.

No, he's telling the truth.

So that's why she
pulled the motion,

because someone
is forcing her to.

Look, uh, we need
more information

about this death row
inmate Jesse.

Okay, everything is on my desk.

The video, the files,
the background.

But are you guys okay?
Should I call the cops?

No, no, no, no.
Don't call the police.
Yes. Yes!

Someone could be watching, okay?
This is crazy.

Yeah-- Someone
could be watching.
You don't know that.

I do know that, okay?

Common sense says...
You have no common sense.

You know what?
Stop. Guys, stop. Stop.

Susan, we will call you back.

Don't do anything
and don't say a word.

My mom's life
might depend on it.

Let's go.

We better not die.

Just go home

and we'll all be back here
later this week, okay?

JESSE
My name is Jesse Flegelson.

I was convicted of the first
degree murder of Vivian Perrin.

I'm going through
the clemency videos.

But I am innocent.

I've lain awake so many nights

knowing I've made
a horrible mistake.

It breaks my heart
to think of the pain

that the Perrin family
has endured.

Wait.

That's her. That's the woman
in the conference room.

Oh, my God, he's right.
Are you sure?

Positive. You see
that streak of grey?

That is definitely her.

But who is she?

Well, I don't know anything
about her, but I think

that that's one
of the, um... Bowen.

Bowen Perrin,
one of Vivian's nephews.

How do you know that?

Your mother wanted to talk
to all the relatives

who inherited money, just
small sums, like 40,000 each,

you know, before we
filed our appeal, but...

they clammed up.

They didn't want to anything
to do with saving Jesse.

Hold on.
Zoom in on him?

Okay. Uh...

Look at his hand,
the way he's holding her arm.

That's not comfort.
That's control.

He's controlling her.

That's-that's
Kevin out there.

He injured his elbow playing
minor league baseball,

so he went to law school.

And t-that's Estelle.

She has a-a beautiful

14-year-old daughter
who just won second place

at her
gymnastics meet...

Stop. It doesn't matter.

It's all that matters.
You don't have to do this.

Yes. I do.

You're sweating.

That can't be good
for the wires and the...

It's fine. He put a pad
underneath to absorb...

He? Who?

Just shut up.

What is it?

It's-it's the governor's office.

Uh, "The governor
is still in recovery.

"Because of the anesthesia,
her memory and cognition

"have been temporarily affected

"and she can't commute
Jesse's execution.

She's not legally
competent at this time."

Uh...

C-Can I get some water, please?

Thank you.

Here.

Here's some for you. Water.

Uh...

So sorry, Ms. Margaret.

I forgot to vacuum earlier.

Oh, Hank, do-do you have
to do this now?

We're in the middle
of a meeting.

Well, it will only
take one minute.

Two minutes, tops.
But please, no, don't get up.

Okay.

Easy, easy, easy.

Okay.

Okay. Tanya,
Tanya. Tanya.

You have less than two minutes
to tell us everything.

Get the back?
Okay, okay. Careful.

Okay, it has a power source,

wires, load, initiator
and a receiver.

Looks real.
And it's locked on?

I can't take it off.
It'll explode.

Tanya, your daughter.
Where is she?

I don't know.

Okay, so Bowen.

He did this to you?

He took your daughter and forced
you to wear a live bomb?

He said I'd never see her again
if I didn't do his plan.

And what is the plan?

Why does he want
Jesse Flegelson to die?

This is crazy.
We have to call

the police,
get the bomb squad in here.

No. He's watching
the building.

He's just downstairs.

If the police come,
he'll blow us all up.

See? I knew it.

He was just up here
this morning.

He-he was pretending
to be a repairman,

and he-he rigged
all of the lights

and-and the
electrical panel.

That's how we
controlled the lights.

He can control everything.

He can hear
what I'm thinking.

It's like he's in my head,

and I just, I...
I have to do what he says.

I have to do...

Tanya, he cannot see you
or hear you right now.

No, but he, see-see...

Margaret, if I can,
if I can just do what he says,

then she... Emma...

Tanya, we've all seen
your face now.

He knows that we would find you

and that would eventually
lead us back to him.

He sent you up here to die.

So if you want to save your
daughter Emma and yourself,

you need to start
working with us,

all of us, together right now.

I'm gonna check

the electrical panel.

He's not taking control
of my building.

He killed Vivian, didn't he?

Bowen was
the exterminator

who came to the house that day?

Tanya.
He thought he was gonna
inherit millions.

We were so in debt.

He drinks
and gambles.

He killed Vivian.

And then he just got

a small amount
of money.

And then you, last week,
when you announced

that-that you had
a new witness...

It's a witness that I found.
Someone who saw a man

in the woods
the day of the murder.

A-And B-Bowen has a scar
right here, right?

Yeah.
We are on the trail.

Bowen knows we are on the trail
to catching him.

And he knows that if Jesse dies,
that trail will go cold.

Mm-hmm.
But my daughter. He'll kill her.

No one is going to die today.

We have to get back
to the conference room.

It's been 2.6 minutes. Okay.

And we got to keep Bowen at bay.
That's right.

Come on, come on,
h-her phone is blowing up.

What?
Not that kind of blowing up.

Francey, you can't say
things like that.

Oh, my God, my phone,
if he's been texting me,

and then he can't hear me,
he'll get suspicious.
No, it's okay.

Uh, that's it, Ms. Margaret.

Thank you.
Oh, yes, thank you, H-Hank.

Great.
Sorry for take so long.

There was tea
stain under desk.

Bowen, are you there?

He's coming up.

Hold the door.

Yeah.

Thanks.
Sure.

What floor?

Uh, uh, 27.

Oh.

Me, too. Who are you seeing?

My lawyer.

You?

Uh, same, sort of.

My mom is my lawyer.

Endlessly litigating
my life choices.

What's your mom's name?

Yes, yes.
Go, go, go, go, quick.

Hold on.

Hi, Allison. Uh, listen, uh,

d-don't come by
the office tonight.

I-I need to cancel our plans...

What a shame.

I was so looking forward
to meeting

the brilliant Margaret Wright.

Oh, my God.
What?

It's him. He has Allison.
What? No.

Margaret, if you alert anyone
or call the police,

you will never see
your daughter again.

Understand?

Yes. Yes, I do.

Great. See you in a moment.

Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Margaret?

Margaret,
where are you?

I'm here.

We're in the conference room.

It's right down
this way.

Where is everybody?

Didn't Tanya
tell you

not to let anyone go?

She said business as usual.

Most people leave

right before 6:00
to avoid the traffic.

We didn't want
to raise suspicions.

Right.

Right, okay. Go on.

Tanya.

What did I say about
not returning my texts?

I couldn't hear you.
The-the vacuum.

Where's my daughter?
Where's Emma?

You don't need
to worry about her.

Worry about me.

I had to come
all the way up here--

with my new
friend Allison--

just to make sure
that things were okay.

Sorry, I'm just playing
a bit of catch-up here,

but is that a live bomb?

Yes, it is, and we will
do whatever they say.

Where's my daughter?

I need to know that she's safe.

What you need to do...

...is sit down and shut up.

Okay, let's just all
keep our wits about us.

Everything is...

is fine,
we are doing whatever you...

It's almost 6:00.
Let's turn on the news.

I'm sure they'll be covering
Oregon's first execution

in 26 years.

Go on.

Turn on the TV.

You, have a seat.

And then we'll leave.

Together.

And pick up Emma, right?

Turn on the TV.

NEWS ANCHOR
...programming for
this breaking news.

Thank you, Ken.
I'm Elise Callam,

reporter
for the Portland Sentinel,

reporting live
and on television today

from the Portland
Correctional Facility,

where a very somber mood
has descended.

Jesse Flegelson is scheduled
to die by lethal injection

15 minutes from now,
which, I have to admit,

is a point I never would've
thought we'd actually reach.

Can I, um...

get you anything else?

No.

Nothing else.

Is your family coming?

GUARD
Jesse Flegelson.

Ten-minute warning.
Officers approaching.

Look, look, look, look.

She turned the Cube-Brick on.

Susan. We just sent you a link.

You need to take it to-to...

J-Judge Woodbridge, now.

Oh, my God.

Jesse, I will be right back,

I promise, but this might be it.

I'm coming out.

Yes, ma'am.

Your Honor, I'm sorry,
but something urgent came up.

Please! Please.

Make it quick.

Bowen.

Are you really gonna
keep us in here,

with that-that bomb

strapped to Tanya
until Jesse is executed?

I am.

That's exactly
what I'm gonna do.

Your Honor, this man is the
reason why we pulled the motion.

He is holding
Margaret Wright hostage.

You have to stay the execution.

Tensions are very high.
Oh, wait.

This just in.

In a last-minute decision,

the execution of Jesse Flegelson
has been stayed.

All right, uh, yes.

I-I'm hearing...

Uh, okay, it is unclear

exactly what led to this...

Turn it off.

What the hell happened?

Uh, I don't know.

I-I did everything
you told me to.

But it failed.

Now, how can we all
get out of here alive?

Bowen...

It's over.

Let's go. Let's go get Emma.

Will you just shut up?

Emma's fine. I told
you she's fine.

She's my baby. Where is she?

She's with my cousin, okay?

But you're never gonna
see her again, Tanya.

These people
all know who you are.

They've seen your face.
They've seen the bomb.

They've seen me.

They know too much.
And it's your fault.

You did this.

You failed.
And I told you

what would happen if
you failed, didn't I?

So sorry,
Ms. Margaret, I forgot.

Do you want me vacuum
drapes in your...

Clear out now.
Get down.

Clear out now.

Okay, um, I-I have
the bomb detonator thing.

Someone take this away from me.

Clear out. Everyone,
clear out now.

Except for you.

Stand still, no
sudden movements.

Ma'am, clear out now.
Let's go.

Tanya.

Bring in the bomb squad.

Take cover.
Everybody, take cover.

Go. Under the table.
The table.

Get down, get down.

All clear! Rendered safe!
Whoa.

Oh, my God.

I really just came
to get my umbrella.

That's, like, literally
the only reason I'm here.

Bowen was arrested,

and you will have
a retrial next week,

and you'll be free, Jesse.

Thank you.

I am so sorry you went
through all of this.

It was so unfair.

I will see you tomorrow.

Okay.

Hey.

So, I just heard from
child protective services.

Emma is safe...

Oh.
...and in
their custody.

Thank God. Yeah.

Aw, Francey...

Oh...
Okay.

Jack must be worried sick
about you.

I'm going home to see him now.

Thank you.

That was close.

Good night.

Uh-huh.

You are coming with me.

Oh...

Anything else planned
for the day, huh?

Any more bombs or falling off
the Nakatomi building?

Rappelling down
a freight elevator?

Oh, you mean
like from that movie

with Dimi Moore's husband.

Uh, Braveheart.

Die Hard. It's Bruce Willis.

He saves the day?

Just like you saved Jesse.

And it's Demi Moore.

Hey.

We saved Jesse.

Yeah, well,
yippee ki-yay, Mother.

Ooh. I know what that's from.

What?
It's from
that Clint Eastwood movie.

Yeah. Let's go with that.
Yeah. Like the western.

♪ Yippee ki-yay. ♪
Right, right.

Hey.

Hey.

I'm glad you're okay.

Yeah.

Me, too.

Life's too short to
not... be friends.

Can we...

Todd, are you still there?

Always, friend.

Hey! Silk girl!

Oh, my God,
are we being too loud?

Not at all.
Can I join you?

It has been a long day.

Of course! Oh, my God, come in.

We're having a blast.
How are you feeling?

Pretty damn good!
