(female newscaster) THE FAMILY OF ROLAND WINTON IS SUING

THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA

FOR CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT

AFTER HIS EXECUTION BY LETHAL INJECTION--

SOME CASE, HUH?

BASTARD RAPES AND KILLS THREE WOMEN,

AND HIS FAMILY LOOKS TO HIS DEATH FOR A JACKPOT.

JUST GLAD WE'RE NOT A DEATH PENALTY STATE.

YOU WOULD BE.

IT'S BARBARIC AND ARBITRARY.

IT'S JUST AND EFFECTIVE.

AND EVEN IF IT WORKED AS A DETERRENT,

WHICH IT DOESN'T,

MEN SHOULDN'T MAKE THOSE DECISIONS.

PUNISHMENT SHOULD FIT THE CRIME.

THEN WHAT DID I DO TO HAVE TO SIT

THROUGH THIS CONVERSATION?

I'M HERE TO TELL YOU

THAT THE NORTH CAROLINA D.A. IS ASKING YOU

TO PERFORM THE AUTOPSY ON ROLAND WINTON.

WHY ME?

M.E.'s OFFICE PUT WINTON AWAY.

THEY WANT AN OUTSIDER,

SOMEONE WHO GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND,

SOMEONE WHOSE REPUTATION IS SPOTLESS.

MM-HMM. WHEN?

RIGHT AWAY. WE'RE BOOKED ON AN 11:00 FLIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "WE"?

WINTON KILLED A WOMAN IN BOSTON.

I GAVE THEM THE CASE FOR A SHOT AT THE DEATH PENALTY,

BUT THIS WAS MY GUY.

I'LL BE DAMNED IF HIS FAMILY PROFITS OFF HIS DEATH.

YOU AND ME IN NORTH CAROLINA.

TALK ABOUT CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT.

JORDAN, I'VE GOT A FEMALE O.D.

WANNA SUPERVISE PETER ON HIS FIRST HOUSE CALL?

YEAH, NO PROBLEM.

YOU LOOK GRIM, EVEN FOR YOU.

I GOTTA GO TO NORTH CAROLINA

TO DO THE AUTOPSY ON ROLAND WINTON.

OH, THE GUY THE STATE JUST FRIED? YEAH.

LAST I LOOKED, THEY HAD THEIR OWN CHIEF M.E.

THEY WANT AN OUTSIDER TO DO IT.

SO WHILE I'M GONE, YOU'RE IN CHARGE.

ME? ALL OF A SUDDEN, I HAVE LEADERSHIP ABILITIES?

I FLIPPED A COIN.

NOW, DON'T SIGN ANYTHING AND DON'T MAKE ANY DECISIONS.

THANKS FOR THE VOTE OF CONFIDENCE.

NO PROBLEM.

CAN I SIT IN YOUR CHAIR?

NO.

[police radio]

OKAY, SO WHAT'S YOUR FIRST MOVE?

UH, YOU'RE QUIZZING ME.

I HAVE TO JUSTIFY MY EXISTENCE SOMEHOW.

AS LONG AS I DON'T HAVE TO CALL YOU SIR.

UM...

OKAY, YOUR FIRST MOVE IS TO CHECK IN

WITH THE CATCHING DETECTIVE.

AND THE BEDROOM IS SECOND DOOR ON THE RIGHT.

WHAT, DID YOU SCOUT THE PLACE ALREADY? OF COURSE NOT.

HOW'D YOU KNOW WHERE THE BEDROOM IS?

I DON'T KNOW.

THIS APARTMENT SEEMS KIND OF FAMILIAR.

YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU GO OUT ON TOO MANY CASES.

NO, ACTUALLY I THINK I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE.

IS THAT ANYONE YOU KNOW?

NO.

(man) JORDAN?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

(Peter) YOU GUYS KNOW EACH OTHER?

UH, TOM CRANE. PETER.

TOM AND I USED TO--

WHY DON'T YOU CHECK IN WITH THE DETECTIVE?

YEAH, OKAY.

WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON HERE?

I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW.

THERE WAS PILLS.

UH, THEY'RE SAYING THAT SHE KILLED HERSELF.

OKAY, WHO'S SHE?

DOES YOUR WIFE EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS?

SHE IS MY WIFE.

[suspenseful rock music]

* *

(Lily) MRS. SULLIVAN?

HI.

I'M LILY LEBOWSKI.

I AM SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR SON.

THANK YOU.

I'M HERE TO TALK, IF YOU WANT...

ABOUT ANYTHING.

I FEEL...

BAD.

I WAS ANGRY WITH MY SON.

HE SAID THINGS.

HERE.

SOMETHING WRONG?

I'M NOT GOING TO TALK TO YOU.

UH, IT'S REALLY HARD, I KNOW--

IS THERE SOMEBODY ELSE THAT I COULD TALK TO?

MRS. SULLIVAN, DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG?

I NEED TO LEAVE NOW.

WE WERE JUST GETTING STARTED.

I CAN'T.

I CAN'T TALK TO YOU.

(Jordan) HAD SHE BEEN UPSET?

DEPRESSED?

I DON'T KNOW.

WE'VE BEEN SEPARATED.

OH, I SEE.

YEAH, ALMOST A YEAR NOW.

I WAS JUST TRYIN' TO FIGURE OUT

HOW I FELT ABOUT THAT AND NOW THIS.

TOM, I'M SORRY.

HOW LONG YOU BEEN BACK IN BOSTON?

A LITTLE WHILE.

I MEANT TO CALL.

BUT YOU DIDN'T.

YEAH, IT'S A LONG STORY.

LISTEN, I NEED TO, UH, FILL OUT SOME PAPERWORK.

BUT, UH, WE SHOULD TALK.

SURE.

YEAH, I'LL GIVE YOU A CALL.

YEAH, DO THAT.

WOW. OH, YOU HATE IT.

LOOK AT THIS--NO!

IT'S TOO ROMANTIC.

IT'S GREAT. LIAR.

[laughs]

IT'S JUST THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET ME THINGS.

WELL, IT DIDN'T FEEL LIKE AN OBLIGATION.

YOU KNOW, SPEAKING OF WHICH,

I'M AVAILABLE TO STAY THE NIGHT TONIGHT.

YOU KNOW WHAT, DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY,

BUT I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO STEER ME IN THE RIGHT WAY TO TAKE THAT.

AREN'T THINGS GOOD THE WAY THEY ARE?

JUST CASUAL, NO STRINGS.

I THOUGHT IT'D BE NICE TO WAKE UP NEXT TO YOU.

OH, THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE YOU NEVER HAVE.

I SNORE, I'M GRUMPY.

AREN'T YOU AT ALL CURIOUS AS TO WHY I'M AVAILABLE TO STAY?

DEFINITELY NOT.

HOW COME YOU NEVER ASK ABOUT HER, MY WIFE?

AREN'T YOU GLAD THAT I DON'T?

I THOUGHT THERE'D BE SOME NATURAL CURIOSITY, YOU KNOW.

IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS.

LOOK, I'M GONNA PUT MY KEYS ON THIS.

AND I'M GONNA OPEN THE DOOR, AND WE'RE GONNA GO UPSTAIRS.

AND YOU ARE NOT GONNA SAY ANOTHER WORD.

LILY? HEY.

DID YOU SEE HIS MOTHER? I SENT HER IN TO YOU.

SHE WOULDN'T TALK TO ME.

OH, I FEEL TERRIBLE.

MAYBE SHE ISN'T READY. HOW IS THAT YOUR FAULT?

IT'S BECAUSE OF MY TATTOO.

OH, YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.

SHE WAS STARING AT IT, AND THEN SHE SPLIT.

YOU HAVE A BETTER EXPLANATION?

WELL, NO, BUT--

HER SON DIED OF AIDS.

HE GOT IT FROM A TATTOO NEEDLE.

AND THE FIRST PERSON SHE GOES TO FOR HELP IS ME.

COME ON, ONE THING DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING

TO DO WITH THE OTHER.

MAYBE NOT.

BUT I SURE DIDN'T HELP HER.

YOU'RE SAYING JORDAN KNOWS HER?

NO, HER HUSBAND, BUT SHE TRIED TO HIDE IT.

LOOK, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU KNOW ABOUT JORDAN, BUT--

(Jordan) SHE'S AN ENORMOUS PAIN IN THE ASS.

MM-HMM, YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH.

THAT THE TOX SCREEN?

YEAH, FOUND LETHAL QUANTITIES OF ALPRAZOLAM AND ALCOHOL.

SLEEPING PILLS.

WAS THE SCRIPT IN HER NAME?

YES, WHICH IS WHY I'M TESTING THE HAIR.

SEE IF SHE WAS IN THE MARKET FOR A FEW WINKS

AND BOUGHT HERSELF A LIFETIME NAP.

SO YOU THINK IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT.

USE SLEEPING PILLS LONG ENOUGH, YOU BUILD UP A TOLERANCE.

AND EASIER TO O.D.

YEAH, EXCEPT THERE WAS A PREVIOUS ATTEMPT.

WHAT? REALLY?

YEAH, I FOUND THESE ON HER WRISTS.

SCARS.

HORIZONTAL. SHE MEANT BUSINESS.

YEAH, I CHECKED HER MEDICAL RECORDS.

SHE TRIED TO SLASH THEM SIX YEARS AGO.

WHEN?

SIX YEARS AGO. I JUST TOLD YOU.

NO, I MEAN THE EXACT DATE.

UH, SEPTEMBER 20, 1997.

(Lily) I KNOW THIS IS A BAD TIME,

BUT COULD YOU PLEASE ASK MRS. SULLIVAN TO CALL ME?

THANK YOU.

JORDAN, HI.

YOU'RE BUSY.

OH, I JUST SCREWED UP ON A CASE.

YOU OKAY, JORDAN?

I'M FINE.

UGH.

WILL YOU STOP?

I'VE GOT A BODY WAITING ON ME.

HE'S DEAD. I DON'T THINK HE'S COUNTING THE SECONDS.

I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO WITH MY TIME

THAN KISS SOME D.A.'S RING.

WELL, I'M GLAD TO KNOW

THAT WHAT YOU LACK IN POLITICAL SAVVY,

YOU MAKE UP FOR WITH A BAD ATTITUDE.

THAT'S VERY CLEVER.

RENEE, SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.

DR. MACY,

VERY GRATEFUL TO HAVE SOMEONE OF YOUR EXPERTISE.

NO PROBLEM.

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT CASE.

THE WRONG VERDICT HERE COULD SET THE DEATH PENALTY

BACK 50 YEARS.

AND HERE I THOUGHT IT WAS THE DEATH PENALTY

THAT SET THE JUSTICE SYSTEM BACK 500 YEARS.

MEET MELISSA, STACY, AND ROBIN.

YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL, AND DEPRIVED OF FUTURES

BY ROLAND WINTON.

YOU MIGHT FEEL DIFFERENTLY

IF ONE OF THEM WAS YOUR DAUGHTER.

I'M HERE AS A MEDICAL EXAMINER, NOT A FATHER.

RENEE AND I, WE GOT THE RIGHT GUY,

AND WE PUT HIM AWAY THE RIGHT WAY.

NO ONE DOUBTS THAT HE WAS A MURDERER

OR THAT YOU WENT AFTER HIM THE RIGHT WAY.

BUT NONE OF THAT MATTERS

IF YOU DECIDE THE NEEDLE WENT IN TOO ROUGH.

PLEASE DON'T PRESUME TO TELL--

WE BETTER GET TO THE MORGUE NOW, HMM?

OF COURSE, I JUST WANTED TO WELCOME DR. MACY TO THE TEAM.

LISTEN, I WANNA BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR.

I'M NOT ON ANYONE'S TEAM.

I'M HERE TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED.

NOTHING HAPPENED.

FAMILY'S JUST LOOKING FOR AN EASY PAYDAY.

IF SOMEONE SCREWED UP, YOU BETTER TELL ME RIGHT NOW.

NOTHING HAPPENED.

WE'RE COUNTING ON YOU TO PROVE THAT.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

I DON'T WORK FOR HIM.

YOU CAN'T TALK TO THE D.A. THE WAY YOU TALK TO ME.

THE HELL I CAN'T.

EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU DR. MACY?

YES.

MY NAME'S ANTHONY WINTON. THIS IS MY WIFE LESLIE.

ROLAND WINTON WAS OUR SON.

I'M SORRY, SIR. WE REALLY CAN'T TALK TO YOU.

I REMEMBER YOU FROM THE TRIAL.

I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO YOU.

WE SHOULD GO.

I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY.

THEN I'LL GO.

WE WANTED TO TELL YOU ABOUT ROLAND.

WELL, I'M NOT SURE THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.

HE WAS A MONSTER.

TONY.

THE MAN SHOULD KNOW THE TRUTH.

HE WAS JUST BORN BAD.

I WAS AFRAID OF HIM SINCE HE WAS TWO YEARS OLD.

A GROWN MAN AFRAID OF A LITTLE BOY.

THAT'S THE KIND OF EVIL HE WAS.

DID YOU GET HIM HELP?

(Leslie) WE TRIED, BUT NOTHING WORKED.

I PRAYED EVERY NIGHT HE WOULDN'T HURT ANYBODY.

BUT HE DID.

THREE WOMEN.

HE DESERVED TO DIE.

EVERYBODY'S BETTER OFF FOR IT.

WELL, IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU FEEL,

WHY ARE YOU SUING THE STATE OVER HIS DEATH?

'CAUSE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO PUT HIM ASLEEP,

AND INSTEAD THEY BUTCHERED HIM.

NOBODY DESERVES TO DIE LIKE THAT.

I CAN PROMISE YOU MY RESULTS WILL BE THOROUGH AND OBJECTIVE.

DR. MACY, YOU JUST MAKE SURE THAT THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN

TO ANYONE ELSE'S SON.

JORDAN, WHOA, I HAVEN'T DIED, HAVE I?

NO, HOWARD. I NEED YOUR HELP.

WHAT'S THE MATTER? WHAT HAPPENED?

I THINK I MAY HAVE KILLED SOMEONE.

[slow rock music]

* *

MOST OF THE TIME I'M JUST PRETENDING.

PRETENDING WHAT?

TO BE ME.

IT'S LIKE MY LIFE IS A ROLE

THAT I'M BEING FORCED TO PLAY,

BUT IT NEVER FEELS QUITE RIGHT...

UNTIL I'M WITH YOU.

THEN WHAT HAPPENS?

I KNOW WHO I AM.

WHAT ABOUT YOU? YOU PRETEND?

IF I DO, THE ACT IS SO GOOD THAT EVEN I CAN'T TELL.

LIKE REALLY WANTING ME TO STAY TONIGHT,

BUT JUST NOT BEING ABLE TO ADMIT IT.

TIME FOR YOU TO GO.

SO YOU HAD AN AFFAIR.

(Jordan) YES.

THEN SIX YEARS LATER,

THE GUY'S WIFE ENDS UP IN THE MORGUE,

AND SOMEHOW THAT'S YOUR FAULT?

SHE HAS THESE SCARS ON HER WRIST

FROM A PREVIOUS ATTEMPT,

AN ATTEMPT THAT OCCURRED

TWO NIGHTS AFTER I HAD ENDED MY RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.

SO, WRACKED WITH DESPAIR

BECAUSE YOU STOPPED SEEING HER HUSBAND,

SHE TRIED TO OFF HERSELF?

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I UNDERSTAND YOU FEEL GUILTY.

YES.

AND I UNDERSTAND WHY HE APPEALED TO YOU.

BECAUSE HE HAD A BUILT-IN NO-GETTING-CLOSE CLAUSE.

TELL ME SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW.

DO YOU REMEMBER HOW YOUR PARENTS WERE TOGETHER?

WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?

WELL, RELATIONSHIPS ARE PATTERNS.

AND SOMETIMES WE REPEAT WHAT WE SAW

OR WHAT WE FELT.

YOU'RE REPEATING SOMETHING

THAT MAKES YOU AFRAID TO GET CLOSE.

I REMEMBER MY PARENTS BEING HAPPY.

WHY DOES THAT MAKE YOU SAD?

BECAUSE IT CAN'T BE RIGHT.

WHY NOT?

IT JUST CAN'T.

[knock on door]

JUST A MINUTE.

HI.

HI.

HOW ARE YOU?

FINE.

I WAS JUST WONDERING IF--

WHAT THE PARENTS WANTED TO TELL ME?

ACTUALLY NO.

THEY JUST WANTED ME TO KNOW

THAT THEIR SON, WHO THEY HATED, BY THE WAY,

WAS TORTURED TO DEATH BY THE STATE.

HMM. WELL, I JUST CAME BY TO SEE IF YOU WANTED

TO GET A BITE.

BUT LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT PLENTY TO CHEW ON.

YOU'RE QUIET TONIGHT.

LONG DAY.

AND MONOSYLLABIC.

YOU OKAY?

DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY,

BUT WERE YOU EVER A YANKEES FAN?

WHAT? DAD, DON'T GET HYSTERICAL.

WHEN WERE WE EVER NOT RED SOX FANS?

I KNOW. I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT--

WHAT'S GOING ON, JORDAN?

WELL, IT'S NOT YOUR FAVORITE TOPIC.

OH, JEEZ, JORDAN, NOT AGAIN.

LOOK, IN MY MEMORIES,

YOU AND MOM ALWAYS SEEMED TO REALLY GET ALONG WELL.

OF COURSE WE DID.

BUT THOSE ARE MY MEMORIES.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN TRUST THEM.

I LOVED YOUR MOTHER, AND SHE LOVED ME.

WHATEVER SHE DID OUT OF SICKNESS

DOESN'T CHANGE THAT.

WAS THERE EVER ANYONE ELSE?

NOT ON MY PART.

HER YOU KNOW ABOUT.

BUT DID YOU KNOW ABOUT IT, AT THE TIME?

WHY ARE YOU ASKING, JORDAN?

WHY NOW?

YOU KNOW WHAT, JUST FORGET IT.

GOOD.

JUST FORGET IT.

GARRET, GOOD TO HAVE YOU.

SEYMOUR, GRATEFUL FOR THE HOSPITALITY.

LISTEN, UH, I HOPE THERE ARE NO HARD FEELINGS ABOUT THIS.

NO, I'M GLAD TO BE OFF THE HOOK ON THIS ONE.

GOOD.

WINTON WAS A SICK BASTARD.

IF HE DID SUFFER, PERSONALLY, I'M TICKLED.

PRETTY DEEP PUNCTURE WOUNDS.

THEY DEFINITELY POKED AND PRODDED HIM.

THEY PROBABLY COULDN'T FIND A VEIN.

IT'S COMMON IN THE CHAMBER WITH SO MANY DRUG ADDICTS.

NASTY RESTRAINT BRUISES ON HIS WRISTS AND ANKLES.

HE GOT THE BARBITURATE.

WHY WAS HE STRUGGLING?

I'M RUNNING A TOX SCREEN.

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT DRUGS HE GOT AND IN WHAT ORDER.

THAT'S A TOUGH CALL.

CRUEL AND UNUSUAL?

SEEMS MORE LIKE A QUESTION FOR GOD THAN AN M.E.

GUESS GOD WAS BUSY.

THEY'RE READY FOR US AT THE PRISON.

ALL RIGHT, BE RIGHT THERE.

PRETTY LADY.

PRETTIER THAN OUR D.A.

JENETTA IS A SCHMUCK,

AND HE'LL STEAMROLL YOU TO GET WHAT HE WANTS.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A WARNING.

JUST A FRIENDLY PIECE OF ADVICE.

MACY TOLD ME NOT TO SIGN ANYTHING.

I'LL TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY.

BUT I'M IN CHARGE.

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT MACY THINKS TOO.

(Nigel) GOT THE HAIR TEST BACK.

OH, ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE?

NO PREVIOUS USE OF ALPRAZOLAM.

DID FIND SOME DIVALPROEX SODIUM, THOUGH,

THAT SHE USED ON AND OFF.

OKAY, THAT'S AN ANTICONVULSANT.

MAYBE SHE WAS EPILEPTIC OR HAD A BRAIN DISORDER.

I'LL HAVE PETER CHECK IT OUT.

YEAH, DO THAT.

RUMOR HAS IT YOU WERE IN TIGHT WITH THIS LADY'S HUSBAND?

I GOTTA GO.

THE PLACE DOESN'T RUN ITSELF, NIGE.

NIGEL, HAVE YOU GOT A MINUTE?

HOURS FOR YOU, LOVE.

YOU SORT OF HAVE A WILD SIDE, DON'T YOU?

IT'S BEEN SAID I'M ALL WILD SIDE.

WELL, HAVE YOU EVER DONE ANYTHING TOO WILD IN YOUR PAST

THAT'S HURT YOU PROFESSIONALLY?

WELL, THERE WAS THAT ONE THING

WITH THE SWORD SWALLOWER AND THE BUBBLE BATH.

NEVER MIND.

BESIDES, EVEN IF I WANTED TO, YOU CAN'T UNDO THE PAST, RIGHT?

WHAT IF YOU COULD?

WHAT IF THERE WAS SOMETHING HURTING YOU FROM YOUR PAST,

AND YOU COULD JUST MAKE IT GO AWAY?

WELL, THAT DOESN'T SOUND WISE TO ME. WHY?

BECAUSE NOTHING'S THAT SIMPLE.

(man) BEFORE YOU WATCH THE TAPES,

IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THE ROPES.

THIS IS HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO.

AFTER LAST MEAL,

THE PRISONER IS BROUGHT INTO THE CHAMBER

AND STRAPPED TO THE GURNEY.

CARDIAC MONITOR LEADS ARE ATTACHED,

AND AN I.V. IS STARTED IN EACH ARM WITH A SALINE DRIP.

WE USE SEPARATE I.V.s

SO THE EXECUTIONER'S IDENTITY IS ANONYMOUS.

THEN WE OPEN THE CURTAIN.

USUALLY THERE'S FAMILY WATCHING,

BOTH HIS AND THE VICTIM'S.

THE PRISONER IS THEN ASKED FOR HIS LAST WORDS.

THE EXECUTION TEAM IS BEHIND THE CURTAIN.

THEY HAVE EIGHT SYRINGES.

FIRST IS SODIUM PENTOTHAL,

A BARBITURATE THAT CAUSES THE PRISONER

TO LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS.

THIS IS FLUSHED WITH SALINE,

AND POTASSIUM CHLORIDE IS ADMINISTERED

TO INDUCE A HEART ATTACK.

THE LAST DRUG IS PANCURONIUM BROMIDE.

THIS STOPS HIS HEART BEATING ONCE AND FOR ALL.

THAT'S WHAT'S SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN...

IN A PERFECT WORLD.

BUT THIS WAS NOT A PERFECT WORLD.

NO.

WHAT WENT WRONG?

I SET THE TAPES UP HERE FOR YOU TO SEE.

THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND I

WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

YOU WATCH THE TAPES. YOU TELL ME.

I JUST GOT YOUR MESSAGE.

HOW YOU DOIN'?

AW, YOU KNOW, I'M DOIN' WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD.

FOR A SECOND THERE, YOU ALMOST HAD ME CONVINCED.

WELL, SAME OLD ME.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

PERPETUAL MALCONTENT.

OH, COME ON.

THAT'S NOT HOW I REMEMBER YOU.

MAYBE I WAS DIFFERENT BACK THEN.

I'M GLAD YOU CALLED.

IT'S A HARD TIME.

SEEING YOU SOMEHOW IS A COMFORT.

DO YOU THINK SHE KILLED HERSELF?

NO.

WOULD SHE HAVE ANY REASON TO?

WHAT, NOW YOU'RE INTERESTED IN MY WIFE?

WELL, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HER.

YOU KNOW, YOU LEFT

WITHOUT A WORD, A NOTE.

I LOOKED FOR YOU, YOU KNOW, FOR A LONG TIME.

SO FINALLY, YOU KNOW,

I JUST ASSUMED YOU DIDN'T WANT TO BE FOUND.

YOU ASSUMED RIGHT.

IT WOULD'VE BEEN NICE, THOUGH.

A POSTCARD OR SOMETHING TO SAY, "HEY, I'M NOT DEAD."

I LEFT THE WAY I HAD TO.

AND I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO UNDERSTAND.

I MIGHT UNDERSTAND, IF YOU HAD ANY INTEREST IN MAKING ME.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA

WHY YOUR WIFE WOULD KILL HERSELF?

I WAS WRONG. YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED A BIT.

EVERYTHING'S JUST A CASE TO YOU.

(Walcott) WHY THE DELAY?

HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE EXECUTED AT 7:00.

THEY'RE PROBABLY LOOKING FOR A VEIN.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

THEY USE THE NECK

WHEN THEY CAN'T FIND A VEIN IN THE ARMS OR LEGS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY LAST WORDS?

NO.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?

HE'S HAVING SOME KIND OF REACTION.

TO THE DRUGS?

I DON'T KNOW.

HI.

HI.

COME ON IN.

SO DID YOU GET SOMETHING TO EAT?

UH, I JUST CAME TO ASK YOU IF--

WE COULD, IF YOU WANTED TO.

I'M NOT HUNGRY IN THE LEAST. ME EITHER, YEAH.

I'D KILL FOR A CIGARETTE.

[laughs]

I DON'T HAVE ANY CIGARETTES.

LISTEN, TODAY WAS-- WAS HORRIBLE.

SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE,

I MEAN, THAT--THAT WOULD ONLY BE HUMAN.

THANKS, BUT I'VE BEEN QUANTIFYING

MY OWN EMOTIONS SINCE I WAS SIX.

EXCUSE ME FOR TRYING TO SHOW COMPASSION

TO A BLOCK OF ICE.

IF YOU HAD ANY COMPASSION, YOU'D OFFER ME A FREAKIN' DRINK.

FINE.

NO ICE? DON'T PUSH IT.

DON'T YOU USUALLY GULP AND RUN?

USUALLY.

BUT TONIGHT I DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO GO.

YOU KNOW, I REALLY DON'T LIKE YOU.

RIGHT BACK AT YOU.

I MEAN NOT AT ALL.

I GET IT.

JUST KISS ME.

HAVE I TOLD YOU

THAT I MAKE A GREAT GREEK OMELET?

GET OUT.

IT'S GREAT.

[laughs] I'M SURE IT IS.

GET OUT.

FETA CHEESE.

[phone ringing]

CAN'T GO A MINUTE WITHOUT ME.

(woman) Is this Jordan Cavanaugh?

WHO IS THIS?

Is my husband there?

WHO IS THIS?

This is Eve Crane.

I'd like to know what you're doing with my husband.

I'M NOT-- I DON'T--

[phone ringing]

[phone ringing]

(Stiles) YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU GOT A PROMOTION.

[phone ringing]

ALTHOUGH, IF YOU CAN'T ANSWER A PHONE,

IT MIGHT NOT LAST.

UM, THERE WAS SOMETHING I DIDN'T TELL YOU.

YOU'RE KIDDING.

HIS WIFE KNEW.

DID SHE, NOW?

SHE CALLED ME ONCE.

ONE NIGHT RIGHT AFTER HE'D LEFT.

WHAT DID SHE SAY?

SHE ASKED ME WHAT I WAS DOING WITH HER HUSBAND.

WHAT WAS YOUR ANSWER?

I HUNG UP.

PACKED MY BAGS AND RAN.

FROM HIM?

FROM HIM, THIS PLACE, FROM EVERYTHING.

THAT WAS THE NIGHT THAT I LEFT BOSTON.

YOU LEFT BECAUSE OF HIM?

UM...

I COULDN'T FACE IT, WHAT I'D DONE.

AND THEN HEARING HER VOICE ON THE PHONE.

THERE'S SOMETHING YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME.

I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ASLEEP.

WHEN?

WHEN SHE CALLED?

OH, GOD, I MUST'VE MISSED SOMETHING.

THERE MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE.

UH, I NEED TO LOOK AT THE BODY.

THE ANSWERS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ARE NOT IN THAT BODY.

TRUST ME, THE ANSWERS ARE ALWAYS IN THE BODY.

(woman) LILY LEBOWSKI.

HAVEN'T OPENED HIM UP YET, HUH?

NO, I'M JUST GOING OVER THE TOX SCREEN.

I SEE.

I SEE.

LOOK, RENEE...

I JUST--I WANTED TO SAY THAT LAST NIGHT

WAS A REAL COMFORT, YOU KNOW.

REALLY?

WHERE I COME FROM, THEY CALL IT SEX.

I WAS--I WAS TRYING TO BE DISCREET.

BACK TO BEING A STICK IN THE MUD, I SEE.

WELL, SEE, NOW, I'M AT WORK, SO...

[clears throat]

MS. WALCOTT, GARRET.

SEYMOUR.

DR. MARTIN.

I'LL BE BACK IN A BIT.

I'LL SEE YOU THEN.

DID YOU NOTICE ANYTHING ON THIS?

I NOTICE A LACK OF SODIUM PENTOTHAL.

SEE, THEY THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT MADE HIM SICK,

SO THEY DIDN'T GIVE HIM ANY MORE.

BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, HE HARDLY GOT ANY THE FIRST TIME.

WELL, WITHOUT THE PENTOTHAL, HE FELT EVERYTHING.

HE WAS TOTALLY MENTALLY ALERT.

HE SLOWLY SUFFOCATED TO DEATH.

(Garret) SOME WOULD CALL THAT SUFFERING.

IF THE PENTOTHAL DIDN'T GIVE HIM THAT REACTION, WHAT DID?

THAT'S THE QUESTION, ISN'T IT?

TIME TO OPEN HIM UP.

YEAH.

SORRY YOU GOT DRAGGED INTO THIS.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

ACTUALLY, IT IS.

A YEAR AGO, I GOT TIGHT WITH A LADY A.D.A.

EVER SINCE THEN, HIGH-PROFILE CASES SKIP MY DESK.

IS THIS ANOTHER WARNING?

[laughs]

NO.

I'M JUST TELLING A STORY.

(Peter) YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE MY CASE. WATCH ME.

I DID EVERYTHING THAT YOU ASKED.

I CHECKED FOR EPILEPSY, I CHECKED FOR SEIZURE DISORDER,

AND IT ALL CAME BACK NEGATIVE, JORDAN.

I'M ALLOWED TO QUESTION YOUR FINDINGS.

IT'S ONE OF THE LITTLE PERKS OF WORKING HERE FOREVER.

WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON HERE?

DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH HER HUSBAND?

STOP ASKING ME THAT.

DOES IT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH YOUR MOTHER?

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MY MOTHER?

NOTHING. NOTHING.

I HEARD...NOTHING.

LOOK, WHY DON'T YOU WANT ANYONE TO KNOW

ANYTHING ABOUT YOU?

NO, UH, NO, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY MOTHER.

(Jordan) DIVALPROEX IS FOR SEIZURES,

AND SEIZURES ARE CAUSED BY BRAIN TUMORS.

AND...

NOTHING.

PERFECTLY NORMAL.

WHY CAN'T SHE JUST BE A HEALTHY WOMAN

WHO CHASED SOME SLEEPING PILLS

WITH A BOTTLE OF SCOTCH, JORDAN?

BECAUSE--BECAUSE SHE CAN'T.

WHAT DID YOU DO?

I GOT RID OF IT.

AND NOW I HATE MYSELF AND THIS JOB AND EVERYTHING.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

YOU LOVE YOUR JOB.

WELL, I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE.

IT WAS ONE WOMAN, LILY.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GET RID OF IT.

I HAVE TO BE SOMEBODY THAT PEOPLE FEEL THEY CAN TALK TO.

I HAVE TO BE...

ORDINARY.

WHY DID YOU GET THE TATTOO?

I FOUND SOMETHING THAT SAID, "THIS IS WHO I AM."

AND YOU THINK YOU'VE LOST THAT?

I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM ANYMORE.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO I WANT TO BE.

YOU WANTED TO BE SOMEONE WHO COULD HELP THAT WOMAN.

SO...

HELP HER WITH THE PART OF YOU THAT ISN'T ORDINARY.

AS BAD AS YOU THOUGHT?

WORSE.

I DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS MAN.

NO NEED TO PANIC.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO TESTIFY TILL TOMORROW.

BROUGHT YOU SOME DINNER.

SMELLS LIKE THAI.

YOU LIKE IT?

ACTUALLY I'M ALLERGIC TO PEANUTS.

THEY PUT PEANUT OIL IN EVERYTHING. I CAN'T.

WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU IF YOU EAT IT?

IT'S NOT PRETTY.

MY THROAT CLOSES UP. I CAN'T BREATHE. I GET--

HIT THOSE LIGHTS, WOULD YOU, PLEASE?

WHAT'D YOU HAVE IN MIND? JUST HIT THE LIGHTS.

(Garret) LOOK AT THAT.

HE HAD LEPROSY?

HIVES.

IT'S AN ALLERGIC REACTION.

WELL, WE KNEW HE HAD A REACTION TO SOMETHING.

THIS IS AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO FOOD.

I FOUND NUTS IN HIS STOMACH CONTENTS.

WHAT WAS HIS LAST MEAL?

LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

SHORT RIBS, FRENCH FRIES, CHOCOLATE SHAKE.

I DON'T SEE ANY NUTS.

YOU THINK SOMEONE TRIED TO POISON HIM?

WHO WOULD TRY TO POISON HIM WHEN HE'S ABOUT TO DIE?

UNLESS...

UNLESS?

UNLESS THEY WEREN'T TRYING TO POISON HIM.

THEY WERE TRYING TO SAVE HIM.

[Alana Davis' remake of "Can't Find My Way Home"]

* *

* COME DOWN OFF YOUR THRONE *

* AND LEAVE YOUR BODY ALONE *

* SOMEBODY MUST CHANGE *

* YOU ARE THE REASON *

* I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG *

* SOMEBODY HOLDS THE KEY *

* WELL, I'M NEAR THE END *

* AND I JUST AIN'T GOT THE TIME *

* WELL, I'M WASTED *

* AND I CAN'T FIND MY WAY HOME *

* *

* CAN'T FIND MY WAY HOME *

* CAN'T FIND MY WAY HOME *

* WELL, I CAN'T FIND MY WAY HOME * *

(Jordan) YOU SAID THE TRUTH WAS INSIDE ME.

IT IS.

HOW DO I FIND IT?

START BY TELLING ME WHY YOU RAN AWAY.

I WAS BREAKING UP A MARRIAGE.

AND WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU GOT THE PHONE CALL?

I HEARD HER VOICE.

SHE BECAME REAL.

I DIDN'T WANT TO HURT HER.

IF THAT WAS TRUE,

YOU WOULD'VE BROKEN OFF WITH HIM.

BUT YOU LEFT YOUR JOB, YOUR FATHER,

YOUR HOME.

NOW, WHY?

I WAS SCARED.

WHY WERE YOU SCARED?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU DO.

SOMEWHERE INSIDE YOU, YOU DO KNOW.

I LOVED HIM.

AND THAT TERRIFIED YOU.

YEAH.

WHY?

I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ASLEEP.

WHEN WERE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE ASLEEP?

IN MY BEDROOM.

I HEARD THE DOOR.

DADDY'S HOME.

SO I WENT DOWN THE STAIRS,

AND THAT'S WHEN I SAW THE HAT ON THE TABLE...

THE YANKEES CAP.

IT WASN'T HIM. IT WASN'T DADDY.

THAT'S WHEN I HEARD THE NOISES.

WHAT NOISES?

MY MOM AND THAT MAN.

TWO OF THEM TOGETHER.

WHAT DID YOU DO?

I RAN UP TO MY ROOM AND SHUT THE DOOR.

IT WASN'T SAFE.

WHAT WASN'T SAFE?

IT WASN'T SAFE TO LOVE ANYONE.

I PROMISED MYSELF I NEVER EVER WOULD.

AND WITH TOM, YOU BROKE THAT PROMISE.

WILL I EVER ESCAPE HER?

IT'S UP TO YOU.

WE'RE NOT TAKING A DEAL.

SO IF THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE, YOU CAN FORGET IT.

REST EASY. WE'RE NOT OFFERING ANY DEAL.

(Garret) MR. WINTON.

DID YOU SEE YOUR SON BEFORE HE DIED?

(Mr. Winton) NO, WE AGREED IT WAS BEST NOT TO.

BUT SOMEONE HAD A CHANGE OF HEART,

DIDN'T YOU, MRS. WINTON?

I DIDN'T SEE THE HARM.

(Mr. Winton) LESLIE?

I DIDN'T SEE THE HARM IN SAYING GOOD-BYE.

(Walcott) BUT YOU BROUGHT HIM SOMETHING, DIDN'T YOU?

I BROUGHT HIM A CAKE.

THEY SAID THAT I COULD.

CAKE WITH A FILE IN IT.

YOU BE QUIET.

(Mr. Winton) WHAT'S--WHAT'S HE IMPLYING?

THAT CAKE HAD NUTS IN IT, DIDN'T IT, MRS. WINTON?

YOU KNEW HE WAS ALLERGIC,

AND FIGURED IF HE GOT SICK ENOUGH,

THEY'D POSTPONE THE EXECUTION.

THAT'S CRAZY.

I HAVE A CHILD.

I KNOW WHAT A PARENT MIGHT DO.

LESLIE?

THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO KILL HIM.

HE WAS MY BOY.

I THOUGHT I COULD SAVE HIM.

(Garret) ROLAND'S REACTION WAS TO THE CAKE YOU BROUGHT.

THE ADRENALIN IN HIS SYSTEM

STAVED OFF THE REACTION UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE.

THE STATE ISN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.

OH, MY GOD.

HE WAS MY BOY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I CAME TO FINISH OUR SESSION.

DON'T BOTHER.

WHAT DID YOU DO?

I, UM, HAD A MINOR SURGERY.

I WAS HOPING TO TELL YOU A FEW THINGS ABOUT YOUR SON.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT DEAN?

DID YOU KNOW THAT BATS USE ECHO LOCATION?

THEY USE IT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEE.

THE BAT ON DEAN'S BACK WAS TO HELP HIM FIND UNSEEN THINGS.

THE DOG ON HIS CHEST WAS NEXT TO THE WORD "MOM."

DOGS ARE A SYMBOL OF LOYALTY, DEVOTION, AND PROTECTION.

IS THAT SO?

THE BIRD ON HIS ARM WITH THE HUMAN HEAD

MEANT THAT HE BELIEVED HIS SOUL WOULD FLY AWAY AFTER DEATH.

THANK YOU.

(Walcott) D.A. JENETTA CAN'T STOP SINGING YOUR PRAISES.

THAT'S GREAT. JUST THE OUTCOME I WANTED.

WHAT ARE YOU SO UPSET ABOUT? WE WON.

IF THERE'S ONE THING I'M SURE OF, NOBODY WON.

WHAT DOES THAT SAY FOR US?

I DON'T KNOW.

DR. MARTIN'S IN THE PENALTY BOX,

BECAUSE HE LOOKED THE WRONG WAY AT AN A.D.A.

AHH, SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT,

YOUR ILLUSTRIOUS CAREER.

YOU ARE AN ELECTED OFFICIAL. DOESN'T THAT CONCERN YOU?

A LITTLE BIT, I GUESS.

BUT I DIDN'T GET THIS FAR IN MY CAREER TO LOSE MY LIFE.

REALLY?

YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT GONNA BE EASY ON OUR HOME TURF.

NOTHING WORTH ANYTHING EVER IS.

I STILL DON'T LIKE YOU.

YOU KEEP ON TELLING YOURSELF THAT.

(Tom) I CAME HERE A LOT WHEN YOU WERE GONE.

SOMETIMES I'D THINK I'D SEE YOU COMING DOWN THE STREET.

(Jordan) I'M REALLY SORRY HOW I LEFT.

[sighs]

CAN YOU TELL ME WHY?

UH, I'VE BEEN AFRAID MY WHOLE LIFE.

I'VE CARRIED THIS FEAR AROUND WITH ME

UNTIL IT DIDN'T EVEN FEEL LIKE FEAR ANYMORE.

I TRICKED MYSELF INTO BELIEVING

THAT IT WAS A COMPANION, A FRIEND

THAT WOULD ALWAYS KEEP ME SAFE.

IT'S THAT FEAR THAT MADE ME LEAVE THAT NIGHT.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.

I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU.

I NEVER TOLD YOU THIS,

BUT THE NIGHT THAT I LEFT, YOUR WIFE CALLED ME.

AND THAT'S WHAT MADE ME REALIZE HOW I REALLY FELT ABOUT YOU,

AND I RAN FROM MY LIFE.

I HAD NO IDEA SHE CALLED YOU.

I-I-I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW SHE KNEW.

DID SHE SLASH HER WRISTS BECAUSE OF US?

NO, NO, NO.

SHE--SHE STOPPED TAKING HER PILLS.

HER PILLS?

SHE WAS BIPOLAR.

SHE HATED TAKING THE PILLS.

SHE PROBABLY TRIED TO WEAN HERSELF OFF AGAIN.

WHY DIDN'T YOU--

NO, SORRY, JUST FORGET IT.

UH, LET'S PUT IT IN THE PAST.

I LOVED YOU, JORDAN.

I KNOW YOU DID.

MAYBE WHEN A DECENT INTERVAL HAS PASSED--

I-I DON'T THINK SO.

THERE'S TOO MUCH BLOOD UNDER THE BRIDGE.

COULD I JUST SIT HERE AND HOLD YOUR HAND FOR AWHILE?

YEAH.

YEAH, I'D REALLY LIKE THAT.
