Original subtitles

I have one brief announcement.

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals

as of 3:15 this afternoon

has rejected Richard Wilson´s claims for federal relief.

As of this moment, Richard Wilson will be executed

as scheduled at midnight on Friday.

Mr. Deans, do you plan

any more appeals?

We feel we have a number of strong Constitutional issues,

which we hope the Supreme Court will now take under review.

So, how´s he doing?

Well, I spoke with Ricky this morning.

And he´s calm.

As you know, he continues to maintain his innocence,

so the Court´s ruling comes as quite a disappointment.

Excuse me.

Can I just say something?

It is an insult to my family

and to the memory of my brother and his wife

that this man continues

to claim his innocence. Mr. Hyatt, do you believe

it´s really going to happen this time?

We´ve waited 11 years. That´s long enough.

The Hyatts deserve closure, as do the people of this state.

Thank you. That´s all.

( phone rings )

Hello?

MAN: Andrea?

Oh, God, Mark.

Where are you?

I don´t know.

Somewhere in the Bronx.

We lost, Andrea.

I know.

Phil called me.

Come home now.

They´re going to kill him.

Please come home, honey.

Okay?

Honey?

Phil says we´ve still got the Supreme Court,

but he doesn´t believe that.

I can see it in his eyes.

Where are you, Mark?

I gotta go.

Mark, please...

I love you.

Mark, please...?

( thunder crashes )

We had hope, you know?

Ricky had such a lousy lawyer at his trial.

Mr. Deans said he thought if the Court got that...

Deans? That your son´s lawyer now?

Yeah. He thought that the federal court--

they might give him a new trial.

Something about, um... jury instructions.

I don´t know. I´m not sure I understood.

Mrs. Wilson, did your husband say anything on the phone

about where he was headed? No.

No friends, relatives that he might go and speak...?

It´s been 11 years.

I´m afraid Mark´s got nobody to talk to, except me.

And how did he sound on the phone?

Sorry?

Was he depressed...?

Agent Johnson, my husband has devoted

every waking second of his life for the past 11 years

to getting our son off Death Row.

He wasn´t about to give up with two days left.

Excuse me, Mrs. Wilson?

I found these on your desk in there.

Yeah, and there are about a hundred more where those came from.

I know it´s a long shot.

You have any idea who might have sent them?

This thing they say my son did-- killing that girl´s parents

in front of her--

there are a lot of people who want to see him die for it.

Mark´s been trying to keep Ricky alive,

so I guess some of those people wouldn´t mind

if Mark went right along with him.

( pop song plays faintly )

Okay, this one says "other natural flavors."

You just ate, honey.

They only have low-fat.

You live with that?

Sure.

Come on, Jess. We´re done.

MAN: Gimme the money!

I said gimme the money!

Gimme the money! I...

JACK: April 8, 1993.

Richard Wilson enters a convenience store

in Atkins, Virginia.

He encountered a night manager, Terrence Oaks,

also two young parents, Willa and Shelby Hyatt.

( screams )

( panting )

Their daughter, Jessie, who was five at the time,

watched her parents die.

Now, she later identified Richard Wilson,

as did a number of other witnesses,

who saw him running from the store to his car.

Now, Wilson had a record of drug offenses,

burglary and assault,

and when the cops picked him up, he gave a false alibi.

What about the weapon? Bullets came from a .38,

but the actual weapon was never recovered.

But it was known

that Wilson had acquired a .38

two months before the actual crime.

And he´s still claiming he´s innocent.

I love it. You may not believe him,

but his family apparently does.

His father has spent

the last 11 years trying to prove his son´s innocence.

11 years.

Maybe Mark Wilson hears the courts have turned down

his son´s last appeal.

He´s thinking suicide.

I´ve already called morgues, hospitals. Nobody.

Hmm. Well, Wilson and Bill Hyatt got into it

at the press conference yesterday.

Now, Bill Hyatt is Jessie´s uncle.

He and his wife have been taking care of Jessie ever since

her parents were killed. Come on, Jack.

You´re thinking the victims´ family?

A case like this, half that town´s

going to be partying on Friday night, Jack.

Well, you may be right, but I´m

going to start with the Hyatts.

Now, Danny, I want you

to run a check on Wilson´s phone records,

his financials, the whole nine yards.

Samantha, check with Wilson´s lawyer.

See if there´s another angle on this case.

Okay.

At first we´d go together--

all the hearings, the motions,

the press conferences.

They´d set a date,

you´d prepare yourself, and then...

there´s another stay.

Each time, they´d say such awful things about Ricky.

After five years...

I got tired.

Has it gotten this close before?

No, which is why I was going to go with him this time.

But at the last minute, I...

I couldn´t.

That´s okay. It really is.

I just feel so dizzy.

Should I call Dr. Marcus?

Why?

So he can tell me it´s anxiety again?

I don´t have to go.

Phil will call us when the court decides...

Mark, go. It´s important for you to be there.

I´ll come right back either way.

This is it, isn´t it?

Sweetie, you-you... can´t think like that.

I´m-I´m-I´m very close on some things.

That´s the last I saw him.

We were supposed to drive down

to Virginia tomorrow.

I-I think they give us an hour with him bef...

You know, they won´t even let us be witnesses.

Mrs. Wilson,

uh, your husband said that he was

"close on some things." Any idea what he meant?

No.

Was he still actively

involved in your son´s case?

That´s all he does-- track down one lead after another.

What´s your relationship like with the Hyatts?

We don´t have a relationship.

It´s got to be hard, though

knowing how they feel about your son.

I´d see them, you know, when I´d go down with Mark.

They´d be out in front of the cameras.

Always bring that little girl with them.

Talk about how killing Ricky

would set things right.

It was hard to hear.

But I don´t judge them anymore.

They´re just caught up in all of it.

Same as us.

JACK: Mr. and Mrs. Hyatt, I really appreciate

you taking the time to speak to me.

Not a problem.

I´m not sure I understand.

You´re looking for Mark Wilson?

Yes. His wife reported him missing.

Well, how can we help?

Well, one of the last places he was seen

was at the press conference yesterday.

Yeah, he was there. He was always there.

Yeah, it´s my understanding

that you and he had some kind of altercation.

Yeah, we did.

I was getting ready to leave, and he came up to me.

We´ve waited 11 years.

That´s long enough.

The Hyatts deserve closure,

as do the people of this state.

Thank you. That´s all.

Mike, I know what you think, but he didn´t do it.

He killed my brother.

No, he didn´t.

Look, it´s a little late for that, okay?

Please, if I could just talk to you...?

I´ve got nothing to say to you, okay?

Come on... Please! I´m begging you!

Hey! Okay, okay, okay!

You stay away from me.

You stay away from my family. He´s my son.

Come on, Bill.

Let´s go. Come on.

It´s okay.

That was it.

He left.

Do you have any idea what he wanted

to talk to you about?

I have no idea.

I get the impression

that you think this execution is long overdue.

What do you think?

Mrs. Hyatt?

Anything?

That night, they were over for dinner.

We were all still living in Atkins.

And Shelby--

that´s Bill´s brother--

he was teaching seventh grade.

Well, that´s how they met.

Willa worked at the library.

And on the way home, they... stopped off for some milk.

The supermarket was closed,

which is why they, uh...

( sobbing ): ...which is why they were there.

That kid´s been tried and convicted by a jury,

yet he appeals

and appeals and appeals.

And they come back,

and they put us through it again.

And we feel for Mr. Wilson. We-we-we do.

And I know he´s losing a son.

But this has to end.

This has to be over now.

Excuse me?

I´m going over to Melissa´s. Is that okay?

That´s fine, honey.

She suffers the most.

I understand.

Listen, uh... thank you once again for your time.

Just so that you know--

the reason they came over for dinner...

No, Bill, you don´t have...

No, it´s okay, I do.

The reason they came over for dinner that night...

was to tell us they were expecting.

Willow was pregnant.

It´s justice-- nothing more than that.

( sobbing )

I´ve been Ricky´s lawyer for two years.

The firm lets me handle these pro bono.

Has Mark Wilson been working with you?

Not sure I´d put it that way.

It´s hard with the families.

They tend to have their own perspective.

It´s not always useful to the process.

You mean, they tend to think their relatives are innocent.

In Mark Wilson´s case, he definitely believes that.

Why, isn´t that useful?

Once you´re into federal appeals,

it´s not about guilt or innocence.

You don´t get to retry the case.

Mostly I´m looking for Constitutional errors.

Suppose there´s new evidence?

That´s first year

criminal law, Agent Spade.

The system hates new evidence. It´s unreliable.

Witnesses change their minds;

victims start to feel bad.

You want the appeals court to second-guess the trial judge,

your new evidence better be damn good.

Okay, is it possible that Mark Wilson found,

or thought he found, new evidence

in his son´s case?

I don´t really know.

You know, Mark was always jumping

on something.

I was over there a few days ago.

These are all of them?

Should be.

That´s everyone who gave a statement in the parking lot.

What about these addresses?

It´s 11 years, Mark.

Your guess is as good as mine.

You never updated them?

Listen, Mark, you want my advice?

You have to leave this alone now.

I need all the attention focused

on the issues I think

we can win on.

Look, if one of these people lied, that´s not enough?

Huh, just for a stay?

Maybe.

Look, do what you have to do.

SPADE: And you don´t know why he was interested

in the original witnesses?

No idea.

Do you think Ricky´s guilty?

I don´t think he got a fair trial.

That´s not what I asked.

I know.

Well, if we could get a look at the trial records,

it might help us track Mark´s whereabouts.

Um, if you´re busy, I can come by your office...

No, that´s okay.

The Supremes have it now, so the most I can do is hope

that Rehnquist didn´t have

a second glass of wine with dinner.

Is that what this is about for you?

I believe in the death penalty, Mr. Deans.

You´ve got a lot of company there.

There are people who do things to other people--

things I have seen them do,

for which I believe they deserve to die.

You seem like a caring person, Agent Spade.

Thoughtful, informed...

Okay, let´s say there are such people.

You want to be the one to determine

out of the killers out there who should die.

The problem is, no one´s asking you.

Or me.

The criminal justice system decides

who lives and dies in this country.

Now, that´s cops and DAs

and judges and defense attorneys,

who are all human beings,

all capable of being wrong...

careless or corrupt

or just lazy.

It doesn´t matter because mistakes

will be made, and the wrong people will die.

And some of those people, by the way,

will be innocent.

Well, I think I have a little more faith

in the system than you do.

Yes, you do.

I´ll have the case files sent over.

Thank you.

Got the Wilsons´ finances back.

They´re broke.

Their credit cards are maxed out

and they´ve used up all their savings on their son´s case.

This thing has taken over their lives.

I don´t think either family has survived this particularly well.

Have you set up a meeting with Ricky yet?

Virginia Corrections isn´t big on customer service,

but I got it set up for tomorrow.

He´s being executed tomorrow.

I know.

Okay, this is everything, and I mean everything,

from Ricky Wilson´s trial.

Transcripts, psych evaluations.

If his father was looking for something,

I would say it is in here.

Viv´s already running down the witnesses.

( fingers snapping )

I´m so sorry.

When did that happen?

That´s awful.

Do you know who did it?

Yeah, of course.

Well, I´m very sorry

to hear that.

Do you know what hospital?

Okay, thanks.

That was a Lucy Nash.

Her boyfriend Ken Hammond was one of the witnesses

at the parking lot the night of the shooting.

Two days ago she gets home, finds him beaten,

close to death.

He´s in a hospital in Trenton.

Wait a minute.

Trenton?

Yep.

Mark Wilson called his wife

from Trenton two days ago.

She´s the pretty one,

if you believe it.

Mr. Hammond, just take us through exactly what happened.

Sure. It´s like I said.

I... I´d just gotten out of my car.

Hey, you Ken Hammond?

Who wants to know?

You testified at Ricky Wilson´s trial.

I don´t remember.

Sure you do.

Convenience store shooting, Atkins, ´93.

Oh, yeah. That kid shot that couple.

I saw him run.

The cops got him.

What were you doing there?

What? In the parking lot--

why were you there?

Get the hell out of here.

Tell me the truth!

( groaning )

Tell me the truth!

MARTIN: Any idea what he thought

you could tell him?

How the hell would I know?

The guy´s whacked.

But now that you tell me who he is,

I can kind of see why.

His boy´s getting the needle

tomorrow, right?

So you´ve been following the case.

Not really.

But it´s in all the papers.

Excuse me.

( phone ringing )

What´s up?

Do me a favor.

Run this Ken Hammond through the indices.

See what other background you can dig up.

You think he´s lying.

Yeah. There´s something he´s not telling us.

Oh, one other thing:

can you take a look at the next town

that Wilson checked in from?

Yeah.

Uh...

Okay, he made a call later that day

from Basking Ridge, New Jersey.

Any chance we can find a link there to Hammond?

I thought you said one more thing.

Yeah, but it´s you.

All right.

They moved the actual Death House

over here a few years ago.

The State uses lethal injection

or electrocution.

Inmate gets to choose.

The Row is actually at another prison.

They bring them over here about a week before,

separate cell-- no books,

family pictures, nothing.

24-hour suicide watch.

DANNY: Suicide watch?

Yeah. Go figure, huh?

I have no idea why he would go missing.

When was the last time you talked to your father?

A couple days ago, I guess.

DANNY: According to the prison logs, Ricky,

it´s been a week.

Okay, a week.

It would really help us if you could tell us

what you two talked about.

It was pretty much like every other time.

He was a little more worked up than usual.

Can´t hardly blame him.

Deans says we got a good chance--

a really good chance in federal court.

Okay, we´ll see.

And listen to this--

I talked to a guy in Dinwiddie

who served times at Wallens Ridge

with a guy who said his cell mate was... Dad...

No, listen, listen... his cell mate was bragging

about a shooting he got away with 11 years ago.

Come on.

We´re this close, Ricky.

Dad, there´s no more time.

Don´t...

Don´t you ever say that, you understand me?

I am never giving up on you, son.

Never.

That´s the last time I heard from him.

JACK: Did you mention Ken Hammond?

Whoa, okay, hold on a second...

It´s just a question.

Ken Hammond.

He testified against you

at your trial.

Name´s familiar, but, you know, that´s a long time ago.

Your dad talk about him?

What is this about?

JACK: Apparently, your father thought

that Ken Hammond could help your case,

especially if he could get him to recant

his testimony.

When he refused, your father beat him up.

I-I have no idea why.

He never mentioned his name to me.

Thanks for your time.

You didn´t tell me

you were going to ask about his case.

You´re right. We didn´t.

Hey, if you have information

that might be relevant...

To whose job-- yours or ours?

We are on the same side, Agent Malone.

I don´t think so, Mr. Deans.

We´re simply looking for a missing person.

Okay.

Mm-hmm. Thank you.

That was the Supreme Court.

We lost.

I got to go tell Ricky.

Martin.

I got some more info on Ken Hammond.

Listen to this.

A couple years after the shooting in Atkins,

he did three years for an armed robbery

at another convenience store,

also in Virginia. Anybody shot?

I don´t know. Let´s have a look.

No.

But according to the parole report,

the gun he used

was a .38-- the same kind of gun

as the Atkins shooting.

Thank you.

Okay, so what happened?

I did my time. So what?

You didn´t tell us that so what.

You didn´t ask.

You know what I think?

I think Mark Wilson found out what you did

and he came to you with the same questions

that we have.

Well, he never mentioned it.

He didn´t mention that maybe you weren´t just a witness

at that first robbery?

That you were a part of it?

And then conveniently testified against his son?

You´re crazy.

After he left you, he went to Basking Ridge.

Any idea why?

I give up. Why?

Come on, Ken.

You told him something to save your ass.

I want a lawyer.

Agent Malone,

Mary Ann Costella, attorney for the Commonwealth.

You want to tell me

why the Bureau´s sniffing around the Wilson case?

Well, somebody´s gone missing

in our jurisdiction,

so we´re looking for them.

You got a problem with that?

No, no. I do have a problem, though,

with a family of a condemned man

using a federal agency

as part of a cheap publicity stunt.

Publicity stunt.

Well, come on.

They´re obviously trying to focus attention

on their son´s case.

The state´s about to execute a man.

What´s wrong with a little attention?

Maybe I missed something,

but Ricky Wilson is the killer here.

Do you normally wear this much makeup, Ms. Costella?

I beg your pardon.

It looks good on TV, doesn´t it?

And that´s a new suit, isn´t it?

You know what?

I´d say there was more than one cheap publicity stunt

going on around here.

Excuse me.

( phone rings )

Hello.

Hammond knows something.

He just lawyered up.

You think he´s involved in that robbery?

Yeah.

I´m also thinking that if he was involved

and he falsely ID´d Ricky as the shooter,

then maybe Ricky didn´t do it.

Yeah, maybe.

You got to admit it´s a possibility.

What about the Basking Ridge connection?

Sam´s still running it down.

The execution´s in 12 hours, Jack.

Yeah, I know. I´ll get back to you.

I think your father

told you something

about Ken Hammond the last time he was here.

No, it´s not true.

What?

Ricky, two weeks ago your dad had nothing.

And then suddenly, after coming to see you here,

he´s all over Ken Hammond.

I don´t know anything about it.

Your father´s life could be in great danger right now.

You guys got it all wrong.

All your dad is trying to do is save your life.

That´s it.

What really happened the last time

your father was here?

It happened exactly the way I told you

except

I couldn´t let him go.

We´re this close, Ricky.

There´s no more time, Dad.

Don´t say that.

Never say that. You understand me?

I am never giving up on you, son.

Never.

Never.

I did it.

What?

I said that I did it.

I shot those people.

You don´t know what you´re saying.

I do. I do.

I killed them.

You´re confused.

No, I´m not confused.

I did it.

It´s the truth.

Stop it. Stop. Stop it!

I did it! I killed them!

Dad, Dad, look at me.

I´m going to die.

I-I can´t keep lying about it.

You deserve better than that.

No, no, no.

I´m sorry for what I did.

Ricky...

I´m sorry about all this that I put you through,

but it´s the truth.

God, no.

Dad, I´m sorry.

Dad!

You know, there´s no more time.

I had to tell him the truth.

I know what Ricky said, and I know why he said it.

Did you believe him?

Of course not.

Ricky loves his father.

Even with all his problems: dropping out of school, drugs and everything,

Mark has never given up on him,

never will.

Ricky knows that.

I think he was trying to help Mark let go.

Did Mark believe him?

Mrs. Wilson, it´s very important for us to know.

I don´t understand why.

Because we have been tracking Mark´s behavior over the last few days

and we´re pretty sure he´s trying go prove your son innocent.

But if he believed Ricky´s confession,

we´re back at square one.

Did you talk

to Mark about it?

Andrea?

Mark believed him.

Mark?

Oh, my God, what are you doing?

He killed ´em, Andrea.

He shot ´em.

Stop it!

Terry Oaks, Shelby and Willa Hyatt

right in front of their little girl.

MARTIN: And that was last week?

Yeah.

How was Mark after that?

Strange.

He didn´t leave the apartment for two days.

Barely spoke to me.

And then the next day,

I got up late, and he was gone.

The next time I saw him,

it was like nothing had ever happened.

He was full of hope again.

Said he´d thought he´d figured out a way to save Ricky.

Did he say how?

No. And I didn´t ask him.

Andrea, why didn´t you tell us all of this before?

The truth?

No matter what my son did, I don´t want him to die.

Okay, let´s take a look at this.

A week ago, he´s ready to give up.

Doesn´t leave his house for two days.

Then all of a sudden, four days ago, he´s back at it.

Gets a list of witnesses from the lawyer

and then the next day beats the crap

out of one of them.

We find out what happened here, I say we find him.

You´re not going to believe this.

Ken Hammond, our witness that Mark beat up,

who just happens

to have robbed a convenience store himself,

turns out he has a partner in crime.

His name is Vincent Regas. And here´s the great part.

Regas lives in Basking Ridge, New Jersey.

Hi, we´re with the FBI.

We´re looking for Vincent Regas.

I´m Maria Regas.

Vince was my husband.

Was?

He died a year ago June.

Car accident.

It´s like I told the other guy.

What other guy?

He came to see me.

Mark Wilson?

Yes. He was here three days ago.

He seemed so upset he couldn´t talk to Vince.

I invited him in.

Thank you.

Do you mind if I ask you about Vincent?

It´s okay.

I really think he was trying to get his life together.

Did he ever talk to you

about some of the trouble he was in before?

I know he did bad things.

The robbery, the one he did with Ken Hammond.

The one he went to prison for.

Did he ever talk about that?

Sometimes.

He was angry that Ken testified against him.

Maria,

did Vincent ever talk

about another robbery that he did with Ken?

Maybe another convenience store where some people got killed?

No. Why?

Well, my son was convicted in that crime.

They say he acted alone,

but recently, I´ve learned there was a witness

who saw two people robbing the store.

If this is true,

maybe there´s a chance to prove my son is innocent.

No, I´m sorry.

I wish I could help,

but Vince never mentioned it.

Did Mr. Wilson tell you who this witness was?

No. I asked, but he said he couldn´t.

Nothing.

There´s no statement by anyone on record

that even suggests there was two perps in the store.

What about police reports?

Nada.

Wait a minute.

What do you got?

Okay, this is a list of prosecution witnesses.

Most of the statements from eyewitnesses

is taken down by the police detectives

investigating the case.

And?

The detectives weren´t

the first cops to show up on the scene.

Hold on a sec.

Okay, here we go.

"The responding officer on the scene was Steve Parsons.

"The 22-year-old beat cop says he was overwhelmed

by what he found."

Okay, it says here

that Parsons got to the scene

and that he found Jesse Hyatt in the store,

but there´s no police report

in the record from Officer Parsons.

He´s the first one on the scene

and there´s no record of what he saw.

Okay, let´s track him down.

Hey, I´m Steve Parsons.

They buzzed me down at headquarters.

What can I do for the feds?

Well, according to our records,

you worked for the Atkins Police Department

about 11 years ago, right?

Yeah, that´s right.

I took the state job about six years back.

Remember a triple homicide in a convenience store?

I sure as hell do.

I seen in the paper they´re finally going

to fry that guy.

So, uh, so what´s up?

Can you tell us what you found

when you got to the crime scene that night?

Yeah, like I´m ever going to forget it.

It was a quiet night.

I got the call, "Shots fired."

I was just a few blocks away.

I must have gotten there in under two minutes.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

It´s okay, honey.

It´s okay. It´s okay.

I´m here. Come here. I´m here. It´s okay.

Come here. Let´s go. It´s okay.

It´s all right.

It was awful.

What about the girl?

I took her outside,

waited with her for the EMTs.

What´s this all about?

Did you question her while you waited with her?

I did, yeah. I...

I was pretty inexperienced.

I tried to, you know, get her to tell me what happened in there.

And was she able to?

No, she-she couldn´t tell me anything. She...

After what she´d just seen,

what she was saying, it didn´t make any sense.

She... she was confused.

Confused... confused how?

I mean, about, uh, what she saw,

who she saw in there.

Was she confused about how many gunmen

there were?

I don´t remember. Did she say that

there were two gunmen in that store?

I don´t remember.

Try to remember.

Officer Parsons, there is a man on death row

who is going to die tonight.

You´re an officer who has sworn to uphold the law.

Did Jessie Hyatt tell you

that there were two gunmen in that store?

She said something like that.

But like I told you, she was confused.

Have you talked

to a Mark Wilson in the last three days?

Mark Wilson?

No. Who´s that?

You know what, I, uh...

I think we´re done.

Thanks for your help.

I think Mark Wilson talked to Jessie Hyatt.

That´s what made him turn.

Yeah.

How dare you come back here tonight.

Take it easy. We just have a few questions.

Good. Then you can come back and ask them tomorrow.

We´d rather not.

You´re trying to stop it, aren´t you?

No, sir, we´re just trying to find Mark Wilson.

Well, I have no idea where he is.

Uncle Bill?

Go back inside, Jess.

May we talk to your niece?

No, you may not.

Mr. Hyatt, we believe that Jessie may have told

Mark Wilson something that led him to believe

that his son is innocent.

My niece didn´t say anything to Mark Wilson.

How can you be sure?

´Cause she would never talk to that man, do you understand?

Now, I´m sorry, but we´re done here.

I just got off the phone with Martin.

He thinks the Hyatts are lying.

What about a warrant

for the house?

We don´t have enough.

All right, let´s say they´re right--

that Jessie told Mark about the two suspects.

He would want her to go on record, right?

No way she would, not in that family.

He did call his wife

from a phone booth in the Bronx.

Do you have an exact location?

A service stop, Exit 6,

Route 295.

That´s a southbound exit.

Maybe he was heading back to Jessie,

to try and convince her to go public.

Okay, let´s start a search for Mark Wilson´s car.

Uh, set up the perimeter

five miles around

the Hyatt residence. Right.

Jersey cops found the car at a dump

four miles from the Hyatt place.

Let´s hope that´s enough for a warrant. Yeah.

( garbled police radio transmission )

William Hyatt, we have a warrant to search these premises.

Oh, this is insane.

We were just heading for the prison.

I´d stick around if I were you.

Hi, Jessie.

Jessie, we need to know

if you spoke to Mark Wilson.

Did you talk to him...

( people shouting )

Get away from her!

Mr. Hyatt, we need to find out

whether your niece

spoke to Mark Wilson. My God,

she was five years old

when it happened. Why are you doing this?

We´re gonna have to ask her some questions.

She didn´t talk to him!

Yes, I did.

What?

He came here...

and I told him what I remember.

When?

Four days ago.

Honey, I don´t understand.

Jessie, what did you tell him?

No one was home,

and I saw his car

in the driveway.

He wanted to talk

to Uncle Bill.

He only wanted to apologize.

I know, I-I can´t even imagine...

what this has been like for you.

But I... I have to tell you...

I am sorry

for what my son did.

All these years,

I believed he was innocent.

I-I´m so...

I´m so sorry.

( sighs )

Mr. Wilson.

I-I think your son...

I think your son may be innocent.

I told him what I saw.

MAN: Give me the money now!

What I remembered seeing.

( gunshots ) There were two men.

( gunshots ) ( woman screams )

Later, everyone had told me what had happened,

how they´d figured out who did it...

and I guess after a while, I just started to believe them.

I´m sorry, Uncle Bill.

I wanted to tell you, but I couldn´t.

I couldn´t. It´s all right.

Look, Jessie, did he come back here two days ago?

No.

I didn´t see him.

Are you sure?

Because we think he did come back.

We found his car a few miles from here.

Oh, my God, Bill,

what did you do?

You tell me! What did you do?

He came looking for her.

Where´s Jessie?

What the hell are you doing here? I got to see her.

Like hell you do. Bill, I have to.

Get off my property.

Get off!

You´re not going in there.

Get off me!

BILL: When I saw him on the ground,

all I could think about was that, uh...

...they weren´t gonna go through with it.

They were gonna put it off one more time,

´cause of me.

I was gonna let him go, I swear.

I was gonna turn myself in

after tonight.

I´m sorry.

Where is he?

Mark, I´m with the FBI.

We´re gonna get you out of here.

( grunts )

What time is it?

Please, what time is it?

( chains clinking )

You recognize this man?

No.

I´m sorry.

It was so long ago.

Here´s Parsons´ affidavit.

We can´t find his notebooks.

Hey, thanks. Okay.

You have enough?

Maybe.

Ask Agent Spade about new evidence.

( inhales )

( exhales )

( amplified heartbeat )

( heartbeat continues )

( heartbeat grows louder )
