Got that?

Be there in a few minutes.

I'm coming down
Brighton Street now,

Nice of youto show up.

Let's do this,
I'm on duty.

Is that the cash?

Yeah.

Hand it over.

Look, man, I got--

I said hand it over, man!

Keep your voice down.

Come on, man, I got a guy
waiting for me, okay?

I don't show up, he
comes looking for me.

Nice work, sergeant.

Yo Zane, throw me that
bag of cash, man.

Whoa, whoa,
whoa, who's this guy?

Titus, stop acting
like a fool and go home, man.

Put the gun down.

Look, I ain't
playing with y'all.

I'll kill both of y'all
if I don't get that bag

in the next 10 seconds.

You're dead already, boy.
I'm gonna hunt you down.

Man, shut up!

Put the gun downor I will kill you,

do you understand me?

Oh yeah, well do it, cop.

Titus, I'm going to cut your
head off when I find you.

You should have thought
before you stiffed me, huh?

Police, lower your weapon.

Hey Casey,
what is this, man?

Ivan, stay back, man.

Lower it now!

You better get your boy,
I ain't playing with you.

I said drop your gun!

Look man, you
a dirty cop too?

Drop your gun, I'm not
going to tell you again.

Cassie, fix it, man.

Look, don't do this.

This is your last warning, drop your gun.

Why should I drop?

No, no, no, no, Ivan.

Officer down, officer down,
6100 Brighton Street.

Oh Ivan, Ivan,

Trisha, it's about Ivan.

What?

What happened?

♪♪♪

What's going on?

How you all going to
bring another brother?

He's a cop killer.

Come on,
let's go, Freeman.

Don't you everpull away from me,

do you understand?

I'm here for the restof your life,

and there's nothingyou can do about it.

Now, get in your cell.

Easy up on him.

You need to handle
your man.

That wouldn't even happen if youjust handled your man, Manny.

Y'all animals, man.

Y'all doing stuff
to us like this.

We're on lockdown.

You're beating us
up on lockdown.

What's wrong with you?

Hey, hon.

I picked upyour dry cleaning.

Now, they said that they'lldeliver it next week themselves

if that's okay with you.

I fed the dogs,

and I rescheduledyour hair appointment.

And you know whatI was thinking?

I was thinking today, you and Icould just take a walk

down by the water.

It'd be good.

You need to getoutside more.

Trish, have you not wateredthis plant at all

since last timeI was here?

Trish?

Hello, Trish?

I'm sorry,
say that again?

Nothing.

Hey, I saw the message
in the kitchen.

LA Philharmonic called.

Yeah.

Well, what'd they say?

Did you call them back?

Why not?

Because I have moreimportant things right now.

Like what?

It's been a year, Trish.

I know.

It's time to get
back to your life.

You haven't touched that
piano in over 12 months.

Well, who caresabout the piano?

You do.

People are calling
every week with work,

and you're just sitting here.

Well, has it ever occurred toyou I might not want to play

for those people?

No.

No, 'cause that's not you.

You would play that thing
whether people

were paying you or not.

Look, Trisha, I can't stand
seeing you this way.

It hurts.

And honestly, I
don't understand.

You and Ivan were barely
speaking to each other

when he was murdered.

I mean, you were talking
divorce and everything.

What happened
between you two?

I mean, it's like
you've been paralyzed

for the last 12 months.

What are you not telling me?

Nothing.

You can talk--

I said no.

Okay.

Okay, I'm sorry.

Call you later.

They beat you down, boy?

They beat you down,
boy?

I bet you won't be caught sleeping again.

You dogging me, boy?

What are you doing, man?

You're a new fish?

Come on man, what
are you doing, man?

Hey, hey.

You got that bag of chips?

You got that bag of chips I wanted?

Hey ladies,
lights out in 10 minutes.

Lights out in 10 minutes.

Hey, why don't
you all just back off?

Who are you
telling ta back off?

Hey, you know what, Kurtis?

I'm not even
going there with you.

You can try all you want,
but I ain't falling for it.

You ain't running
nothing around here.

Stop talking like
you're some kind of boss.

Oh, what's
the matter, Kurtis?

You afraid of having
a black man for a boss?

Man, that ain't funny, man.

So hey, don't
mind him, young blood.

He takes a little
getting used to,

but he's harmless.

Oh, I'll show you harmless.

You wait till we get paired up
to go in that yard again.

Kurtis, come on.

Yeah, that's what
you said last time.

This time, I mean it!

Uh huh.
Like I said, harmless.

So hey, you got a name?

Yeah, that's cool, you
don't want to talk right now.

I understand.
We all been there.

But in case you
change your mind,

I guess you know
where you can find me.

My name is Clayton.

Over here to my left,
that's Doc.

Matter of fact, you and Doc
would get along great.

See, he's been on
death row for over 10 years,

but he ain't never said a word.

We always try to trick
him into talking,

but it never works.

Ain't that right, Doc?

See what I'm saying?

He'll tear you up
in a card game, though.

Over there to your right,
that's Randy.

I'm innocent, man.

Innocent.

On the end there, I guess
you already met Kurtis, huh?

Oh, that's all we need is
two apes on the same tier.

There goes the neighborhood.

Pretty soon, you're going to be taking over.

You know what?

When that happens, Kurtis,

I promise I'll be real good
to you, boss.

Don't push me, soul train.

Hey Doc, is what you
have contagious?

Maybe you could sneeze on
Kurtis so he'll stop talking.

Shut up, Randy,
I know how to stomp on

little boys too.

Yeah, that's Asian,
Mr. Einstein.

Whatever, I'll kill them too.

Whatever, man.

So hey, man, you like music?

'Cause I got a whole bunch
of cassettes around here

if you ever want
to borrow some.

They won't let us have CDs up inhere because they could be used

as weapons, but hey,
I got me some tapes.

Man, do you ever shut up?

What? Hey, I'm just
trying to help you.

Just shut up.

Listen here, man.

I don't care about your tapes,
and I don't care about you.

I ain't staying on death rowlong enough to make no friends.

I'm getting out of here,
so just shut up.

All right.

You want me to leave you
alone, I'll leave you alone.

Yeah, that's what you get

for trying to helpa hard case, Clayton.

It's hopeless.

I guess you forgot what it
was like when you first got up

in here, huh, Randy?

Oh, so what, you think hefeels better because you

offered him some tapes?

Please.

I don't even need to justify
myself to you.

Yeah, that's because you can't.

Face it, you act like the niceguy and bring up all that

God stuff to make youfeel good, not him.

It makes mesick to my stomach.

It's people like youthat make me an atheist.

All right, Randy,
just hear me out for once.

You're done.

Oh no, no, game over, that's it, you're done, bye bye.

Randy, I let you
talk all the time.

Now, hear me out, bro.

Lights out!

Good night, John boy.

Wesley Burns, attorney at law.

Yeah, this is Wesley.

Hey John, could you hold on a sec?

No, I just got--what?

What do you meanthat was today?

That's not until next week.

John, why didn't youcall and confirm it?

Well, yeah man, I got that call, that was like 2 days ago.

How about updating me every once in a while?

How are you doing?I'm Wesley.

Danny, I'm here
for 12 o'clock.

Twelve o'clock? Twelve o'clock today?

That's what you
said on the phone, yeah.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure itwasn't for today, though.

I mean, I'm positive.

I don't know why would Ischedule anything for today.

That's not what you
said on the phone.

Oh, wait a minute, hold on.

Thursday afternoon,12 p.m., Danny Freeman.

Hey man,I'm sorry about that.

Look, I can stop by
another time if you need me to.

No, no, no, it's cool, it's cool.

Here, let me movesome of this stuff.

All right, have a seat.

I don't know if you rememberme telling you about my brother.

Oh yeah, Tommy, right?

Titus.

Yeah, that'swhat I meant, Titus.

Look, you mind
if I tell you again?

It'd make me feel better.

Sure, man, whatever works for you.

Titus was charged with
first degree murder.

They claim
it was premeditated.

Now, there's no question that
he murdered a man last year.

A cop, he murdered a cop.

Yes.

And I understand he
has to pay for that,

but I'm here to get
him off death row.

You think you can help me?

I don't know, that depends, Danny.

It says here Titus was in themiddle of armed robbery when

Officer Ivan Parks intervenedby holding him at gunpoint.

Titus disregarded the warningand opened fire on Officer Ivan,

sending him to the groundwith one gunshot.

Is that true?

What the file does not mention
is that Sergeant Casey McCaul

was doing a drug deal
with Zane Pearson

when Titus rolled up
to steal the cash.

You're talking aboutZane Pearson, the one who--

The drug lord, yes sir.

Okay, so this was a holdupthat turned into a murder?

Look, like I said, I'm
not defending what Titus did.

I'm just trying
to save his life.

Okay, so Titusdidn't know Ivan Parks.

I can prove it.

Okay, well, why was Titusgoing after Zane

in the first place?

It's complicated.

Okay, well, I'm going to needto know sooner or later.

Titus started dealing for Zane
to pay bills at home.

We had nothing,
and my mother got really sick,

and Zane stiffed Titus
after a job one night,

so he went to get
his money back.

Any witnesses?

No.

Any evidence?

I do have some evidence
that can help.

Well, it better be goodfor this one.

Look, I know
what you're thinking,

but I'm desperate here, man.

Look, if the Zane Pearson story
is not enough,

then you might as well know thatTitus and I grew up in a house

where my dad used to beat us
and our mother all the time.

And when he took off, he
left us broke with nothing.

It was up to us to start
paying for everything.

That was our childhood.

Come on, Danny.

Do you know how many timesI've heard that same kind

of abuse storyjust this week?

Now, come on, you got to give mesomething I can work with here.

Look, I don't care
what anyone else says,

that's the honest to God truth.

You wouldn't believe
what I saw growing up.

Now, it did something
to Titus that I believe

is worth addressing.

He would never fire on a cop
unless he thought that cop

was working for Zane.

Talk about being at the wrongplace at the wrong time, huh?

Look, can you
help me or not?

Okay, I'm going to be honestwith you, Danny.

It doesn't look that way.

It looks like your brotherhad an agenda.

I mean, there's only one angleI can see right now.

We've got to find anothercharacter witness for Titus.

And we got to be able to provethat Titus didn't know

Ivan Parks, nor did heintend to kill him.

And if that doesn't work?

Well, I hate usingthe same old card,

but if your brother is willingto share in detail about

the abuse he grew upwith, I might be able

to reduce his sentenceto life in prison.

Now, that's if your brotheris willing to cooperate.

Is that going to be possible?

No, not at first.
I'll see what I can do.

He's still pretty angry
about it all.

Either way, it's worth trying.

Hey, what are we looking
at in terms of money?

Well, for this case, we're looking at about

five grand per appeal.

So, with three appeals,
we're talking--

Fifteen grand.

I mean, hey Danny, you know, Icould--I could cut some corners

for you, cut some costs,

but we're still looking atabout that much.

And if you want meto get started right away,

I'm going to need5,000 up front.

- That's a lot.
- Yeah, it is.

I mean, you may want to askyourself if this case

is even worth it.

Because when it'sall said and done,

I can't promise anything.

Would you do it?

If you believe inwhat you're doing,

mortgage your houseif you have to.

If not, there's no shamein getting on with your life.

No, it's worth it.
I'll find the money.

Okay.

I'll tell you what, here's my card.

Give me a callwhen you're ready.

Thanks, I'll call you
in a few days.

Nice to meet you.

All right.

Titus, Clayton, we're
going to start with you.

Let's go.

Finishing my last sentence.

Don't keep me
here all day long.

Man, shut up.
Come over here.

Okay, now you
want to play, I see.

Yeah, yeah, this is cute.
This is real cute.

Let's go, hands back,
man, let's go.

Hands back.

Open this up, man, I gots to go.

Come on, son.
You got to go?

Toes in line, son,
toes in line.

Ease up off my arm, bro.

I'll tell you
who eases up, okay?

How was solitary?

You going to answer me?

I suggest you get along
with a man

that can make your life

No sir.

See here, man, I'mgetting up out of here.

There ain't nothingthat you can do about it,

so go ahead, man, messwith me all you want to.

You enjoy it.

But as soon as my appealcomes, I'm gone,

and you'll still be here.

Is that right?

Mm-hmm.

You killed a cop, Titus.

It wasn't my fault.

You deserve to be here.

No, I don't.

I know your type.

You think you're going to usethe system to catch a break.

You got that right.

My oldest brother was killedby a punk like you,

a stupid kid just angry, looking for trouble.

At the end of the night, he shot him in cold blood.

And I vowed right then and there I'd never put up

with a punk killer again.

Get this punkback in his cell.

He ain't going anywhere.

Oh yeah, attaboy, Manny,

way to put their kind in their place.

You're worse than all
these guys put together.

I suggest you behave yourself
before your execution.

Hey, why you
got to be like that, man, huh?

Titus didn't even do nothing,

and I know you seen
worse than that.

Well, if you likeit so much, preacher,

why don't you juststay here with him?

Put this killerback in his cell.

He ain't going anywhere.

Take Randy instead.

Hey, for real, man?

Close cells number
three and four.

Open two and five.

Hey man, hey man,
take him up out of here.

You know that wasn't right.

You shouldn't have
done that, Manny,

you for real?

You going to take
away my yard time?

Hey Doc, enjoy my sunshine.

Soak it up, baby.

Toes to the line,
toes to the line.

Gentlemen, let's
get them out here.

You wonder why you
get your nose broke.

Anybody else want
to mess with me today?

I didn't think so.

Shut up, man, always running your mouth.

Titus, you have got to take
Manny with a grain of salt.

You don't mess with him,
he won't mess with you.

I told you that's how
it goes around here,

but you don't want to listen.

You always want to
provoke somebody,

always think somebody
want to fight with you.

Ain't nobody trying
to fight with you, man.

Hey dog, why don't you shut up

and mindyour own business, man?

You keep talking
to Manny like that--

No, I know Manny and his kind,

and he is not goingto abuse his power,

not while I'm up in here.

All right,
fine, I tried.

Besides, I ain't goingto be here long anyways,

so I might as welldo what I want to do.

Yeah right, now
how you know all that?

Because I don't deserveto be in here for what I did.

Man, join the club.

We've all said that
mess before, Titus.

Look here, my brother'sgot me a lawyer,

a real one.

So, I'm gettingup out of here,

so why don't you just backup off me, man.

Look, man, I don't know much
about what you up in here for,

and I really don't care.

But from this point on,
you have got to stop

tearing into people
like you do.

Hey man, shut up talkingto me like I'm 4 years old,

be trying to tell mehow to be.

Man, I'll do what I want to do.You don't know me.

Yeah, you're right,
Titus, I don't know you,

but God does.

Oh no, no, we ain'ttalking about that God stuff.

Man, you got the wrong onewith me, Clayton.

Man, you're on death row.

You need to understand who
God is while you're up in here.

Yo, I'm telling you right nowwe ain't talking about that.

Look man, he
can give you peace,

and you need some
peace in your life.

You need to killthat thing, man.

Titus, God can give you
that kind of peace.

I'm telling you, you're goingto get your little feelings hurt

if you don't shut up, man.

You need to understand--

Man, shut up about God!

I hate God.

And if you bring him up again, I swear I will kill you.

All right, Titus.

All right.

Excuse me, miss?

You know, I don't
typically do this,

but I saw you from
across the room there,

and you look so beautiful
sitting there all alone.

I just thought I'd--thought I'd
come over and introduce myself.

Is this seat taken?

Why, no, it isn't.

Have a seat.

I missed you.

I missed you too.

Did you get my letter?

Yeah, yeah, I wish I could be
there for your dad's birthday,

but--

I'll tell him you said hi.

Okay.

What's going on
with the case?

Any news?

John Cutchall brought anotherlawyer into your legal team.

There's three of them now, and this new guy,

he's really good.

It doesn't mean anything unless
they find that witness, Rachel.

I mean, that guy
saw everything.

I know, honey.

They think he'san out of towner,

so they're checkingall over.

That's great.

They're doing everythingthey can, Randy.

It's not enough.

Hey, we're going to find him.

You're innocent.

It's been almost 2 years,
Rachel.

We won't stop lookinguntil you're free.

Yeah, well, I'm just
starting to think that maybe--

Don't.

Look, I can't help it.

You have not seen
what goes on in here.

Don't do this to yourself.

I'm just being realistic,
all right?

Randy, I'm notgiving up on you.

We're getting you out of here, I don't care what you say.

Look, we're so close.

Just--just give usenough time

to finish whatwe started, okay?

Hey, I love you.

I love you too.

So, the thing is I don'treally like school that much,

but I met thisreally cool guy.

We're not dating or anything, but you know,

there's a lot of potential.

Aunt Marsha doesn'treally know him per se,

but I think once theyget to know each other,

it'll be really cool.

They just need to give it some more time, you know?

I don't know, dad, what do you think?

Right.

Well, anyway, Aunt Marsha says hi.

She said she'd try to stop bysometime next week

if that's okay with you.

Dad?

Why won't you talk to me?

Hands off!

I mean, did you ever stop andthink that I might need you

to actually say somethingevery once in a while?

I mean, look, I knowwhat the doctor said.

I understand this wholepost-traumatic stress thing

that you're going through.

But the fact is, dad, I know you can hear me.

And it really hurts whenyou don't answer back.

Dad.

So, I guess that'sthe way it's going to be, huh?

Fine.

♪♪♪

Look, it's all taken care of, man, I told you.

So, did you
hide the money?

I buried itat the old house.

How's mama feeling?

I had to take herto urgent care last week,

and she's feeling sick again.

Come on, Danny,
take her to the hospital,

get some tests ran.

That's what the money's for.

Look, I'm wayahead of you, bro,

I just don't have timeto tell you everything

between raising Dewayne andtrying to get you out of here.

So, how's my case looking?

Where's this lawyer
you was talking about?

He'll be here.

Is he any good?

Well, he could usesome help around his office,

but I hear once youget him in a courtroom, he's--

No, come on, Danny, my case
has already been

through the courtroom.

I need somebody that
can work the system.

He'll be fine.

Look, I'm
getting out of here.

I know you are.

So, if this ain't
the right guy,

let's move on
to somebody else.

I don't have a lot
of time to waste.

All right, check it out,
I've been reading about how

all these guys are getting
pardoned off of death row

by writing the governor

and telling about their
situation, right?

So, I figure that's what
I'm going to do, man.

I'm going to write the governor
and tell him about me.

There ain't no way they're
going to ignore that, right?

Seven days a week,
I'm going to write him.

I got me some new law books
too so I'll be ready

for that first appeal
by the time it comes around.

I'm going to know more than
that judge by the time

this is over with.

No way they're going
to keep me up in here.

Sorry I'm late, guys,
one of those days.

No problem.Titus, this is Wesley Burns.

This is my brother, Titus Freeman.

It's good to finally
meet you, Titus.

So, how's it look?

Well, Titus, for starters,

we're looking for a few
character witnesses.

But the main reason I'm here isto find out how you feel

about mentioning your
abuse as a boy.

Who told you about that?

I did.

What you doing
talking about that, Danny?

That's all we got, Titus.

No look, Zane had
half of the police force

on his payroll.

Now, I didn't mean to kill
that man, he pulled up on me.

Okay, you stated that in court, and it didn't work.

Well, if you're
such a great lawyer,

why don't you make it work?

Titus, if we don't haveenough character witnesses,

we got to talk about dad.

Wrong.

Listen, that man is
not my path to freedom.

We didn't need him
when we were kids,

and we don't need him now.

Okay, Titus,
we're trying to help you.

Yeah, well, it's not working.

So, why don't you go out there
and find me some new witnesses,

starting with Danny?

What happened to you in that
house is part of the reason

you got involved with Zane.

Now, I believe it's
worth addressing.

No.

Could you give mea couple of minutes, man?

What?

Just need a fewminutes, thanks.

Fine, I'll be outside.

Think that went well, what do you think?

Danny, you have no business
talking about that, man.

Don't give me that, Titus.This is your only way out.

I'll get myself out of here
if you can't help me.

Why can't wejust be real, man?

Why can't we talkabout what dad did?

Hey, watch it, Danny.

No.

I'm a grown man, I'm goingto say what I got to say.

Dad is dead, Titus, it's over, and you got to let it go

so we can move onwith this.

And night after night, I watchedthat man beat you half to death,

not because of what you did, not because you deserved it,

because you were protecting me.

When I messed up, you took the hits.

When I mouthed off, you took the blame,

so when some man twiceyour size comes at you,

you see dad.

The old man isstill alive in you, Titus,

and he ain't gonna leave unlessyou do something about it.

And he was there that nightyou killed that innocent man.

That is the truth,

and that's what needsto be told to a judge.

Danny, do something else
to get me out of here.

And if you don't
want to help me, that's fine.

I'll save myself.

No, she didn't.

I swear, that's exactlywhat she did,

right there at the dinner tablein front of everybody.

Oh baby, I wish I
could've been there.

No, you don't.

It was embarrassing.

Well, that's the beauty
of it, Tina.

That's the beauty of it.

Okay, okay,I've got to stop.

So, how are you?

I'm good.

We got this new brother
on the floor

I've been trying to connect
with, but it's just not

working out like I
thought it would.

Not another one.

Yeah, baby, another one.

Honey, please be careful.

I am.

You don't know what's goingon through these men's mind,

Clayton, they're killers.

So am I, Tina.

Yeah, but you're different.

How am I different?

You're more, you know--

I'm your husband,
that's how I'm different.

Otherwise, I'm just like all
these other men, all right?

That's not true.

Baby, I know what
they're feeling right now.

I know what
they're going through.

I just know I'm forgiven,
that's all.

But some of themdon't want your help.

I know that.

I got to do everything
in my power to try.

But you could get hurt.

Baby, look,
most of these cats,

they think that God hates
them or that he doesn't exist.

Besides, I'm just reaching
out like somebody did for me,

that's all.

I know.

And you know, I don't know
how much longer

we're going to be up in here.

Clayton, let'snot talk about that.

Baby, that's something we're
going to have to talk about.

Not now.

Honey, this is something
we need to--

Clayton, it's taking everythingin me to come down here

once a month.

It hurts.

We never have enough time, and I always leave here

feeling like I have no hope.

Tina, what are you
saying to me right now, huh?

Come on, baby, talk to me,
what's going on?

I can't livelike this anymore.

Look, I know it's hard.

It hurts too much.

Listen to me.

Every time I come here, I feel like

we're just saying goodbyeall over again.

And I understand that.

No, you don't understandbecause you're too busy

trying to save everyone else.

Tina, promise me you'll
come back here next month.

Clayton, it's getting--

Look, aside from God,
you're all I got.

You're what keeps me going.

I don't know--

Tina, promise me.

All right, Clay, I promise.

Baby.

Tina, wait.

Sorry.

Well, look at you.

Hey, Kathryn.

You look beautiful.

Where you going?

I have some important business
to take care of today.

It is so good to see yougetting out.

I mean, this is just what we'vebeen waiting for, you know.

Yeah.

Yeah, well,
it's finally here.

Well, do you mindif I go with?

I mean, I couldkeep you company.

No, this is something
I have to do on my own.

Okay, I understand.

I mean, gosh, it'sjust been so long

since we spent time together.

I know.
Kathryn, we will, okay?

I just--I have to go.

I have to be in Carterville
in an hour.

Carterville? What's in Carterville?

Titus Freeman'sfirst appeal is today.

I want to make sure heisn't going anywhere.

That's where you're going?

Wouldn't miss it.

Okay, let me
get this straight.

After 1 year of not
leaving the house,

the one place you want to go
is Titus Freeman's appeal?

It's something I haveto do, Kathryn.

Why?

Because I will not let that manget away with what he did.

I am pretty sure that they
can take care of him

just fine without you.

And how do you know that?

All right, listen to me.

It is time for you
to get on with your life.

I mean, you have got to let go
of the past and move forward.

Now, that piano,
it's been collecting dust

while you've been sitting
here doing nothing.

I don't care what you do.

Get up, go play the piano,
go see a movie, whatever.

But do something.

If there's nothing elseI do in my life,

I need to do this.

Just leave me alone andlock up when you leave.

Trish, you've
got to get help.

I mean, this way of life
is going to kill you.

Now, I don't know what it is
that you're not telling me,

but if you're not
going to tell me,

then you got to tell somebody.

I mean, we've all been
doing everything we know to do.

We've been coming by,
we're been checking on you.

But you know what?

None of that stuff means
anything if you don't take

some steps of your own.

Okay, now here's
Joy Sanders' card.

She's been
a friend of the family--

Kathryn, I don'tneed some shrink trying--

She's a good counselor.

What do you have to lose?

Take it.

Fine.

Just lock up when you leave.

Will the defendant
please rise?

Court finds the defendant's new character witnesses insufficient

to reduce the sentence of death.

The defendant's
sentence will remain.

Court is adjourned.

Oh, I got you now, Doc.

Ain't no way you're going to beat this hand, baby.

You ready for this? You ready, Doc?

Here, bam, there it is, four of a kind, baby.

Show mewhat you working with.

Where you at, Doc?

Hey, you got a royal flush?

Take these cards back, Doc.

I ain't playing with you no more.

I quit, man. That ain't even right.

I had you beatthat time, Doc.

That ain't funny, I know you're over there

smiling to yourself too.

Why don't you let one out, ha ha, laugh, something.

Give me something, Doc.

Had you beat, Doc.

Hey, what you thinking about right now, Doc, huh?

I know you hear me talking to you, Doc.

Bet you seen a wholebunch of stuff around here,

am I right?

Bet you a whole lot has changedsince when they first

brought youup in here too, huh?

Man, what I wouldn't give just to hear what you've learned.

Hey Doc, what if I was to ask you a question?

Come on, Doc, I know youhear me talking to you now.

You ever think about God?

Doc, I know you got to believein something.

I mean, you ever think about him,

how he sent his Son to die for you so that you can be forgiven?

You ever thinkabout that, Doc?

I'm gonna tell you something else too, Doc.

Because of him, you don'teven have to live

with what you did anymore.

Now, what youthink about that, man?

Come on now.

Ace of spades?

You don't want to talk about him either, huh?

What do you expect, Clayton?

The man's on death row.

If there was a God, he wouldn't be here.

He's here right now, Randy.

Give me a break, man.

I'm serious, man.

Yeah?
Why should I believe you?

Bible says--

The Bible says?

The Bible says?

Don't you have anything
more intelligent to say

than the Bible says?

Who cares what the Bible says?
It's just another stupid book.

Yeah, a lot of people
think that, Randy, but--

But what?

You know what, Clay?

You are just another patheticlittle soul that's too afraid

to think deeper than what somestupid book tells them to.

I'm sick of it, man.

Why don't you justthink for yourself?

It's more than
just a book, Randy.

God spoke those words.

Right.
Pass the Kool-Aid, brother.

And that book says that
whosoever believeth in Jesus

shall not perish,
but have everlasting life.

You know what, little boy?

You just cling to whatever
source of comfort

you need to survive.

It's more than just
my source of comfort, Randy.

Would you guys shut up?

Shut up, shut up!

I'm trying to sleep down here.

Relax, baby Hitler,
as if you don't have

the rest of the day to sleep.

Hey, I heard that, atheist boy.

At least I believe in God.

Oh Kurtis, don't, man.

Oh, now this is classic.

The perfect spokesperson,
Clay.

Yo man, you got
a strong argument now.

I mean, one look at Kurtis and Ijust want to run right out

and get baptized in the Jordan.

What are youlaughing at, Randy?

I will tear you up, man.

Hey Kurtis, why
don't you let me

do the talking
about God, all right?

Oh yes, please, let's not go
from dumb to dumber.

Hey, I went to church, man.

I know just as much about Godas you do, you

That don't mean nothing,
man.

It goes way deeper than that.

Heads up, heads up.

Titus, Randy, Doc,
you got visitors.

Let's go.

Let's open cells
number two, three, and five.

Manny, I ain't
got no visitor?

Man, you ain't got no visitors

or I'd be pulling you out,
now wouldn't I?

Hey Freeman, let's go.

Hey Doc, Doc.

Doc, you thinkabout what I said, all right?

Don't give me no moreace of spades.

Toes to the line.

Toes to the line,
gentlemen.

Come on, Freeman,
we're waiting on you,

Freeman, let's go.

I ain't got all day, let's go.

Watch yourself out there, Randy,

it's a jungle.

Randy, we're going to finish
this conversation.

Hey, pray for those visitors.

Toes to the line, let's go.

Come on, gentlemen,
I ain't got all day for this.

Hey Kurtis, go
on back to sleep, man.

I won't bother you no more.

It's too late now, I'm already up.

My bad, sorry.

Oh yeah, I'm sureyou're real sorry.

Oh, there it is again.

What?

I hear those pages ruffling.

So what?

No big deal, I hear youdoing the same thing every day.

Oh, so now you got a problem
with me reading?

So what you reading?

What do you care, man?

Come on, Kurtis, I hear
you doing the same thing

every day, man.

Answer my question,
what you reading?

It's nothing man,
it's just--

It's just what?

It's a comic book, all right?
A comic book.

For real?
Which one?

Commander Freedom, is
that all right with you?

You like
Commander Freedom, man?

Yeah, so?

Man, I used to collect
Commander Freedom

back in the day.

My wife's got all my copies back at home in the garage, brother.

I don't care
about--how far back?

1970, baby.

That's when Commander Freedom
wore that green helmet,

you remember that?

1970?

Yeah, man,
I was 4 years old.

Do you have any idea
how much those are worth?

Oh yeah.

My wife is hooked
up after I'm gone,

I'll tell you that right now.

Man, I hated that
green helmet he wore.

Oh, come on, Kurtis.

That helmet was cool, man.

It made him look
more like a soldier, remember?

He doesn't need a helmet,
he's Commander Freedom.

Yeah, you right, he
doesn't need the helmet,

but it's still cool.

Yeah, man, whatever.

Got to give me that one.

Yeah, I'll give you that one.

And you see how you gotto give me that one too, right?

I will give you that one,
it was cool, I got it.

All right then.

Wow, man,
Commander Freedom.

So, listen, let meget this straight.

Your wife, she justgot these copies

sitting around in her garage?

Yeah, man.

Hey Clay.

Yo.

I was--I was--Iwas wondering--

What's up?

I was just--Iwas thinking about--

What, Kurtis?

Just never mind, just forgetabout it, just forget it.

Kurtis, man,
what you need, bro?

I was--I was wondering ifmaybe I could look at a few

of those comics, you know, before your wife sold them, man.

It's stupid, justforget it, man.

Oh, you'd be into that?

Yeah.

All right,
then I'll write her,

tell her to bring them
up next month, all right?

Thank you, thanks.

Okay, you're welcome.

Hey, I'm going to let you
get back to your reading,

all right, Kurtis?

Okay.

Hey, hey, Clay.

Yo.

Hey, check this out, man.Have you ever read this one?

No, hey, which one is that?

It's number 472.

It's the one whereCommander Freedom,

he gets trapped underwater, and he's got the chains

around his neck and his legs, man.

Hold on, Commander Freedom
got trapped underwater?

Who put him there?

I don't know, man, I'mabout ready to find out.

But I could--Icould read it out loud,

you know, if you'd be into that.

Yeah, man, that'd be cool
because I don't ever remember

him getting trapped like that.

No, man, I'm telling you, check this out.

Says right here.

Commander Freedom--

Uh huh.

Elis--

Ally, Kurtis.

Ally, ally.

Ally of justice, friend of--

Friend of liberty.

Liberty, liberty.

Was trapped underwater.

And the--

Situation.
You're doing good, man.

Situation lookedprovelous--prevarilous--

Perilous.

Perilous, perilous.

You're doing good, Kurtis.

Oh my gosh, dad, school is so bad.

I have literally spent 72 hoursin a coffee shop,

of all things, doing homework.

And midterm exams, they were the worst.

It was like the longest weekof my entire life.

But the important thing is I did good in everything.

Why don't you take a lookfor yourself, dad?

It's time to go, let's go.

No, dad, please just look, two A's and four B's.

Dad.

Thanks, dad.

All right, so I've
written 113 letters

to the governor so far.

That's not including today,
and I ain't about to stop.

That's good, Titus.

We can use all the helpwe can get.

Okay, now let's talkabout what I'm going to do.

Where's Danny at?

He said
he was going to be here.

He's on his way.

Now, your first appealgot denied,

so I talked to Dannya little bit.

He's agreed to signsome important documents.

I brought thosewith me here, so--

Oh man!

Oh my goodness, yo Danny,

this cannot be my
little nephew, man.

My little nephew
is not this tall.

I'm afraid wegot some bad news, Titus.

What you talking about?

Go on, tell him, boy.

I got kicked out of school.

What?

He didn't just getkicked out of school.

His teacher found a gunon him this morning.

He was brought to my housein a police car of all things.

Shut up, dad.

You don't tell me to shut up.

Hey, hey, come on, relax.

He won't listento a word I say, Titus.

He keeps on goingon and on about you.

About me?

Titus, tell him it
ain't no big thing.

Hey, it is a big thing.

I'm justtrying to be like you,

what's wrong with that?

Like me?

Y'all give me a second
with the kid, all right?

Wait, wait, wait, wait.Time out, okay?

Before we have family time here, you think we could talk about

the case a little bit?

Come on, Danny, I'mon a tight schedule.

I got appointments all day.

Look, it'll just take
a second, Wesley.

Okay, fine.

I mean, why do Ineed to be here?

I'm just a lawyer, right?

You know, maybe next timeI'll bring my nephew.

We can all go outinto the prison yard,

have a play date.

It'll just take a second.

Yeah.

We'll be rightout here, Dewayne.

Sit down.

Boy, I said sit down.

What you doing packing, Dewayne.

Man, it ain't just me.

Everyone's strapped at school.

Oh, you supposed to be
running with a gang now, huh?

You banging?

Just like you did.

Oh, don't you
put this back on me.

I'm not what Danny's
raising you to be.

He don't get me, he don't know me.

Don't get you.

Boy, don't you know that
Danny is working 24/7,

around the clock to give you
a better life than he

or I have ever had?

And you want to
sit here in my face,

talking about
he don't know you?

Boy, you about the only thing
he does get.

He's the one that
you want to be like, not me.

Nah man, Iwant to be like you.

Oh, you want to be
like me, huh?

Chained up when
you're 35 years old,

thrown in a cage
like an animal.

You want a grown man watching
over you every time

you have to use the toilet?

You want to be told they
are going to kill you

for wasting an innocent man?

Is that what you want,
Dewayne, huh?

Boy, look at me.

I am the worst thing that
you could ever want to be.

No, you're my uncle.

Man, I'm done
talking with you.

Wait, hold on.

Get out of my face.
Yo man, yo Danny.

Why you tripping, man?

Get this boy up out of
here, he's making me sick.

I said get him out of here, and
don't you ever bring him back.

You don't mean that.

Yes, I do.

You stay away from me, Dewayne.

You know, I don't
typically do this,

but I saw you from
across the room,

and I thought I'd
come over and say hello.

Hello?

Hey, hey, hey,
what's wrong?

Rachel?

It's not looking good, honey.

No new witnesses, no uncovered evidence.

But you said they were going
to do that search and that--

He did, several times.

Nothing.

Okay.

So, now what?

I don't know.

Rachel, are you--

are you telling me we've lost?

I tried everythingI know to do.

There's nothing else.

No, I remember when we hired
that John Cutchall

as our lawyer, that guy,
he sounded so confident

about our case, you know?

I actually believed him.

I should have
known better, you see,

because that's what
you get for having hope.

Honey, we'll keep looking.

You know what?

Forget it, it's useless,
don't bother.

Randy.

Hey look, Rachel,

I want you
to stop visiting me.

What?

It's over, you need
to get on with your life.

The sooner youleave me alone here, the better.

No, stop it, Randy.

We're in this together, remember?

No, not anymore.

It's over.

My life is over.

The sooner you
realize that, the better.

Randy.

Can't you see?

They took my life already.

Don't come back here.

Randy.

Dr. Sanders?

Yes?

Your 2 o'clock is
here, Trisha Parks.

Oh great, thanks,I'll get her myself.

Hi, Trisha?

I'm Dr. Sanders.It's nice to finally meet you.

So, why don't youcome on in, have a seat.

Can I get youanything, water, juice?

I'm fine.

All right then.

If you don't mind, I'd like to start out

asking you some questions.

Let's just get something
straight right away.

I'm here because of
my friends and family.

They won't leave me alone unlessI come see a shrink like you.

But I don't need counseling.

I don't need you.

I'm fine, and there's not one
good reason for me to be here.

Are you through?

I'm through.

Well, it sounds like youand I have a lot in common,

Trisha, because I don'twant another patient.

I don't need another therapy session.

So, if you're fine, let's justget through this

so I can focus on other things.

Yeah, well,
that's what I'm saying.

Yeah, I'm not into helpingpeople who don't want it.

Exactly.

You realize howmuch wasted time that is?

A lot.

So, if youdon't want to be here,

then don't be here.

Thank you.

Trisha, you do have toanswer me one question, though.

Why did you stopplaying the piano?

Piano was a big partof your life.

Why'd you stop playing?

Maybe I needed a break.

Okay, is that your answer?

I just haven't
felt like playing.

Is that your answer?

Okay, what do you
want me to say?

I just wantan honest answer, Trisha.

Yeah?

Well, I know what
you're thinking.

What am I thinking?

You're thinking I'm too
messed up to play again.

Is that what I'm thinking?

Yes, that's
what you're thinking.

Or is that whatyou're thinking?

Please.

It's just a thought.

I don't even need this.

So, what'syour answer, Trisha?

I quit.
I don't want to play anymore.

That's not an answer.

I'll tell you what.

I'm going to leave this timeslot open for you each week

until you can answer my question.

So, you do what you want.

Come, don't come, I don't care.

But my questiondeserves an answer,

Trisha, that's all I'm saying.

Open cell number one.

What's going on, man?

The people on KP told me a spoonis missing from the mess.

The last time that happened,

two inmates
were stabbed to death.

Begin the inspection,
gentlemen.

Get them out.

Come on, Kurtis, to the line.
To the line.

Kurtis, Kurtis,
you know the drill, Kurtis.

Get him out.

Come on, Kurtis.
Easy, Kurtis, easy.

Hurry up.

Commander Freedom.

Hey, give me those, those are mine.

Give me those, man.

Get off me, man.

What's the matter with you?

I noticed you've
been reading these, Kurtis.

Why don't I hang onto it
until that spoon shows up.

Nobody's gotyour spoon, Manny.

Well, we'll find out
soon enough, won't we, Kurtis?

Get him back in his cell.

Clay, they'rethe ones you gave me!

Don't worry about it,
we're going to get them back.

Titus, you're next.

Manny, how you going to do something like this?

Your boys get beat up on.

Toes to the line.You know the drill, Titus.

You know the drill, Titus.

Hold onto those, hold onto those.

Oh, that's awfully nice.

It's mine untilthat spoon shows up,

Titus, and there ain'tnothing you can do about it.

Man, you really think that's
going to stop me

from getting out of here,
don't you?

You must think I'm stupidlike the rest of your prisoners.

Well, let me let you know ain't
nothing or nobody going to stop

me from getting out
of here, not even you.

So, you go ahead
and you take that.

I'll find something else,
watch me.

All I want isthat spoon, Titus.

And something tells meyou know where it is.

You just dropped
my property, man.

Get him back in his cell.Get that punk back in his cell.

Get him back in.Pick this mess up.

Get those hooks back, getthose hooks off, do your job.

Lockdown.

And you wonder why
you get your nose broke.

What's wrong with y'all?

Will the defendant
please rise?

The court finds the evidence
in the affidavit

on the defendant's brother
insufficient to grant

the defendant's relief.

Motion on appeal denied.

♪♪♪

Father God, I know that you
put on my heart that you

wanted me to show these
men who you are.

I'm doing everything I can,
but it's just not working out

like I thought it would.

I mean, most of them,
they're not open to you.

Most of them don't want you,
they just want their own way.

And I'm doing everything,
but Lord,

I got to tell you I'm tired.

I've tried everything.

Look, I know that
there's a heaven,

and I know that there's a hell, and I know you don't want

any of us to go there.

But Father, you're
going to have to show me.

Help me to do what
you want me to do.

Now, this Titus, this brother
is working around the clock

just trying to save himself.

He's a piece of
work too, Father,

afraid to look weak
in front of us,

and even more afraid
to die alone.

I just ask that you open his
eyes before it's too late.

Show him who you
really are in Jesus' name.

Open cell number one.

Let's go, Kurtis, put your hands through.

Come on, Kurtis, I need your hands.

You stay strong, I'm
going to be praying for you.

Step back, Kurtis.Kurtis, step forward, come on.

Step forward, Kurtis.
Come on, forward, come on.

It's going to be
all right, Kurtis, you hear me?

All right, pat him down.

You're not alone,
man, you're not alone.

I'm praying for you,
you hear me?

Is he clean?

Yeah.

All right, listen up.

We got a riflepointed right at your head.

You want to do anything stupid, we can end this quick.

Prisoner ready.

Dead man walking.

Don't you even
listen to that, Kurtis.

Step forward.

Stay strong, Kurtis,
you ain't alone.

You're not alone,
Kurtis, you hear me?

Stay strong,
I'm praying for you.

All right, Kurtis, make
it fast, make it fast.

All right.

I read them all.

Did you like them?

I did.

You be sure that you tellyour wife that I said thank you.

Will you do that?

I will, man.

I'll tell heryou said thanks.

Listen, man,
I was wrong about you.

I'm sorry for how
I treated you

and the things I
said to you, man.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

You're a good man, Clayton.

I was wondering if maybe
you could forgive me.

Of course.

Look, man, you said thatyou believed in God to Randy,

but do you know his name?

Man, I hurt so many people.

You know, I've done
so many things wrong,

it's too late for me, Clayton.

It's too late for me.

That's not what I'm askingyou right now, look at me.

Do you know the name of Jesus?

Is your faith in the onewho died for you?

Yeah, yeah.

If you could doall this over again, would you?

Oh yeah, yeah,
I would change things.

I swear I would.

I swear I would, Clay.

Then I know you can do this.

I'm scared.

You're going to beall right, you hear me?

I don't want to die,
I don't want to die.

I'll be praying for you.

You just stay strong.

Okay.

Okay, I'll see you
on the other side.

I'm going to beon the other side, brother.

I'll see youon the other side.

We ain't got all day,
you're breaking my heart.

Let's go, Kurtis, come on.
Follow me, Kurtis.

Kurtis, break it up.

Break it up, Kurtis, come on.

You stay strong.

You know the drill, Kurtis.

We got a dead man walking.

You're not alone, Kurtis.

You're not alone, man.

Hey Clay.

Clayton.

Clayton, can you hear me?

Yeah, who's that?

It's Randy.

What are you doing, man?

I couldn't sleep.

So, you're going
to wake me up too?

I was--I was justthinking about Kurtis.

Yeah, I feel you, man.

I never thought I'd miss a guylike Kurtis, you know?

But--

I miss him too, Randy.

I'm not gettingout of here, Clay.

What?

I'm notgetting off death row.

I've been kidding myselfthinking they'd find

that witness or some evidence--

Hey, they still might
find something, Randy.

No, it's--it's over.

No, it's up to you to believe
whether it's over or not.

No, man, look, I shouldhave just accepted

from the beginning, you know?

I was friends with a groupof men that committed murder,

and that's what I get forwanting to be around them,

I guess.

I just--I just hategoing out this way, you know?

Knowing that this is what Ihave to live for from now on.

Randy, Randy, I don't know
much about what you

up in here for, but if you're
innocent like you say you are,

then I believe
that God can still--

Clay, don't.

Clay, don't do that, all right?

I'm trying to talk to you here.

I know you are.

I don't want to hear it.

It's what I live by, Randy.

If you want to talk to me,
you know I'm going to go there.

You know what?

If God were real, thenwhy did I end up here, huh?

No, I'm sorry, but I justdon't see how a God

could exist in a worldthat's this evil.

I used to say
the same thing, man.

Good, then back off.

Until I found out and
understood who God really was.

That doesn'texplain why I'm here.

Maybe you're here
so he could save you.

You ever think about that?

What kind of Godwould put me here to rot?

Oh, you put yourself here.

You just said that you chose
to hang out with men who were

up to no good, and you
didn't do nothing about it,

so God didn't put you here.

Now that you are, maybe
he's got your attention, huh?

Whatever.

Randy, just think about what
you're talking about right now

in the middle of the night, man.

Would you be doing something
like that on the outside?

Oh, what am Isupposed to say to that, huh?

Randy, just
hear me out for once.

All right, look, I don't understand how this

is going to help me out.

People either believeGod exists or they don't.

Either way, I'm stilllocked up here waiting to die.

So, whether I agree with youor not, Clay,

I'm still stuck here, man.

It's not about whether God
exists or not, Randy.

What else is there?

A relationship.

What?

God wants a relationship
with you, man.

He wants to help you.

Yeah, how do you know?

Because I've watched him
come through for me

over and over again.

Oh, no, no, no, do youeven hear yourself right now?

This is what us sane folklike to call rationalization.

You want to believe there'sa God helping you out so you

feel better while you're stuck here on death row.

Randy, if I did
something like that,

I'd drive myself crazy.

Then how elsedo you explain it?

Faith.

Randy, everything
begins with faith.

It's not that simple.

I bet you got
faith in something.

Yeah, you'd be wrong.

Oh really?

Let me ask you
a question then.

What would happen if I jumped
off my bed in the middle

of the night right now?

Why you asking me this, man?

Man, I let you
quiz me all the time, Randy.

Now, answer my question,
what you would happen?

You would land on the groundand wake everybody up.

Okay, okay, so how do
you know that for sure?

It's a law of physics, Clay.

All right, so you have faith
in a law that says what goes up

must come down, is that
what you're telling me?

If you want tocall it that, yes.

Having faith in God
ain't no different, bro.

We believe in him, and he showshimself to be true all the time.

Okay, then fine, I have faith in gravity.

You happy now?

So, you see where you can't
knock folks who got faith

in God, now can you?

Fine, I'll give you that one.

You see how you got
to give me that one too.

That's what Ijust said, right?

Can we drop this, please?

Randy, God operates
on the basis of faith, man.

Come on, whatdoes that even mean?

It means that he needs
us to take him serious.

Yeah, I will when hestarts taking me serious.

No, no, no, no, the ball's
in our court, man.

He's waiting on us.

Oh no, if God is real--

Randy, it's up to
us to trust in him,

just like you need the state
of California to trust

that you're innocent.

And you need them
to believe you, right?

Right.

Ain't no different
for your Creator.

Look, man, you call
yourself an atheist.

That's not what I see
when I look at you.

I see a man who's afraid
to believe in someone

and trust something
that he can't see.

You don't know that.

How long we been
on death row together, Randy?

I don't know.

Long enough for me to
know what kind of man you are.

Okay, you know what?

Let's just say forthe sake of argument

that you are right, okay?

All right, so now why is it upto me to make the first move?

Because he
already made his move.

Yeah, I must have beenout of town when he did that,

right Clay?

He sent his only Son to die
for you, Randy.

That was his first move.

Oh, the wholeJesus thing, come on.

Man, look, it's not enoughto just believe that God exists.

That ain't going to do
nothing for nobody.

Yeah, well, most people think so.

And look at the condition
most people are in.

Look, Randy, the way God relatesto us is through a sacrifice

that only he can make.

Sacrifice for what?

For our sins, man, so
that we can be forgiven.

Look, so we could have
a relationship with him

and know him personally.

He sent his Son to die for
you, and he's just asking you

to believe it, that's all.

All right, look, Clay, Icould see what you're saying,

you know, butyou're just, I mean--

But you don't want to believe
and then be disappointed.

Well, who does, man?

Randy, what you
got to lose, hm?

I mean, if I'm wrong,
you've lost nothing.

But if I'm right, you
got everything to gain.

You make it sound so simple.

Because it is simple.

We're the ones who
make it so complicated.

Look, if you innocent
like you say you are,

only God can save you now,
so why don't you give him

that chance?

No, I don't know, I'm not--

All right, Randy,
you think about it, okay?

'Cause it is important.

You know where I'll be if
you want to do this thing.

Whoa, hey, hey, do what?

What do I got to do?

We just got to pray, Randy.

Ask him into your heart, man.

We ain't got to bow our
heads, nothing like that.

We just pray a prayer, man.

Ask him in, whatare you talking about?

God won't
force himself on you, Randy.

He waits to be invited in, and that's all he's waiting for.

Oh yeah, yeah, ball's in my court again, right?

Exactly.

You've got to bekidding me, Clay.

You get some sleep, man.

We'll talk about
this in the morning, all right?

♪♪♪

♪ Got nothing left
I can say ♪

♪ If I could let go of
the hurts in my past ♪

♪ maybe I'd find
a new way ♪

♪ If I let him in now--

Hey, Clay?

Yeah?

All right, man,I've tried everything, okay?

And I don't knowwhat else to do.

You think you
want to do this?

Yeah.

All right.

We're just going
to pray a prayer, all right?

You cool with that?

Yeah.

That's how we
ask him in, Randy.

You ready?

Yeah.

Say, "Father."

Hey, he's not just God,
Randy, he's your Father.

And you can trust me, man, we're going to do this together.

Say, "Father."

Father.

Thank you.

Thank you.

For forgiving
me of all my sins.

For forgiving meof all my sins.

Jesus.

Jesus.

Come into my heart.

Come into my heart.

Be my Lord.

Be my Lord.

Be my Savior.

Be my Savior.

I thank you.

I thank you.

For today.

For today.

For I choose you.

For I choose you.

In Jesus' name.

In Jesus' name.

Amen.

Amen.

Good job, Randy.

Good job.

Oh, no, no, no, youdon't have to do that, Judy.

You just call me if you're notfeeling any better, okay?

All right, I'm going to transferyou over to Jamie,

and she's going to set up yournext appointment for you, okay?

All right, Judy, thanks, bye.

Hey.

You're back.

Please, have a seat.

I thought I ran you off last time.

Yeah, well, so did I.

Have you thoughtabout my question?

Would you liketo talk about it?

Would you mind if Iask you some questions?

All right.

I promise we're goingto get through this.

Okay, so here are the questionsthey're going to want answered

for with
your last appeal, Titus.

Under certain circumstances, I think this last appeal will go

our way, one of them being thatTitus comes clean

about how he was abused.

Forget it.

That money they found should
have been evidence enough.

Titus, if you don't do this,
you're a dead man,

do you understand that?

Wesley, could you give mea couple of minutes with him?

What?

Just need a few minutes, Wes.

Man, what is up with you alwaysneeding a couple of minutes?

I appreciate it, thanks.

Fine, I'll be back in five.

Hey, maybe you could
take notes while I'm gone.

Look, Danny, I'm not doing
this, we already talked--

Wait, hold on, man, hold on.

I got to tell you something.

What?

I just--I feel responsiblefor you taking all those

beatings from dad.

He always hit you, not me.

You were always taking the heat.

I can't remember a timeyou didn't protect me.

And I'm justfeeling guilty about it.

Danny, let's--

I felt like the least I coulddo was mortgage my house

to get you a good lawyer.

I had to do something.

So, I'm asking you, please justtell them the truth about what

happened and giveyourself a chance to live.

Man, dad messed you up.

You had a lot to work through.

I just want you to havea chance to start over.

I hated that man.

I know.

I still do.

It would have torn me up inside
to watch him start in on you.

I could havetook care of myself.

I know you could've,
I know.

It's just you
were a special kid.

What are you talking about?

You were different.

I guess I'm saying that eventhough you're my little brother,

I always looked up to you.

Titus, I'm nodifferent than you, man.

Danny, Danny, you've
done good with your life.

You've made things right.

You're my hero.

And you and Dewayne are
the only family I've got.

Titus, then I'mbegging you, man,

if that's true, please justtell them the truth

about what happened then.

It's your only chance.

If you don't, I will.

I can't let that man
be the reason I'm free, Danny.

It'll make me feel
like I owe him something.

Listen, I can get
myself out of here,

little brother, I know I can.

I read 8 new law books
in the past 2 months.

Now, I appreciate everything
that you've done for me,

little brother, I do.

But if I have to take my own
case in front of the courtroom,

I will.

Danny, if I can
save you from dad,

I can save myself
from death row.

Hey, what time you got?

About 20 after.

Clay.

Tina.

Oh Tina, you came back.

I did.

I'm so sorry I'm late.

No, no, thank you, baby.

I can't let you gothrough this alone.

So, no matter whenyour time comes,

I'll be here.

Yeah, I just
want you to know that,

listen, I don't blame
you for how you feel.

Let's not worryabout how I feel anymore, okay?

I got your letter.

I can't believe I'm doing this.

Oh Tina, baby, thank you.

Thank you, Titus is going to
flip out when he sees this.

Guards took
his typewriter away.

Brother's been writing on
a napkin with a crayon

for the last 3 weeks.

I will never understand whyyou do what you do

for these guys.

Hey, I'll do anything I can
to win these guys, you know?

Aside from you and God,
that's all I got.

You'll never change.

If you think about it, that's what got you in here.

Yeah, you're right.

Hey, but this time,
I'm making good on it.

I just wish I didn't haveto hear about it once a month.

I wish I could see it for myself.

I do too, baby.

Time's up.

Visitors prepare to exit.

I better go.

But hey, I promise Iwon't be late next time.

Yeah.

Hey Tina, I want you to know I'mnot just sorry for what I did.

I'm sorry for what
I did to us.

I regret not
being there with you.

That's the hardest part
of this whole thing.

Clay, I'm not going anywhere.

Come on, let's go.

Thank you.

What you're going through, it's normal.

It's all part of the process.

But it's been 3 years, Trisha, and you still haven't touched

that piano, the thing thatearned your living

and you love so much.

What's stopping you?

It just doesn't fit
into my life anymore.

You honestly believe that?

I don't--I don't
know what to believe.

Well, youwon't play the piano,

but it says here that you'veattended both

of Titus Freeman's appeals.

Is that true?

What are you lookingfor at those appeals, Trisha?

I'm going to make sure
that--that man gets

what he deserves.

Well, he probably will.

I mean, statistically speaking,

he doesn't standmuch of a chance.

Why are youreally going, Trisha?

Does it make you feel better?

Yes.

I didn't expect that answer.

You know, I don't believethat, not for a second.

You lost your husband, the love of your life.

Okay, no.

It doesn't make me
feel any better.

So, why not?

It's just--

What?

It's just--

What? Trisha, Trisha, come on.

I don't know.

Well, you brought it up.

What is it thatyou're not telling me?

Somebody has to pay.

Okay, pay for what?

Pay for how I feel, and
pay for everything I've lost.

Good, Trisha, tell me how you feel.

It's my fault.

Now, why would you say that?

You don't know what happened.

You're right, I don't knowwhat happened.

No, not tonight,
Don, I can't cover you.

I got plans with Trish.

Any other time works, though.

Hey, hey, real quick, Casey toldme you had a lead on a suspect

from the shooting last
night, is that right?

Oh wait, hang on, hang on,
let me write this down.

Hey Ivan--

Hang on, hang on.

All right, go.

Yeah, I heard that too.

All right, I'll check it
out on my end.

Good work, Don.
I'll talk to you.

All right, Trish, talk to me.

What do you need?

I've been tryingto since you got back,

but you're too busy--

Go on, I'm listening.

You're not listening.

You can't do anything but worryabout your next assignment.

Trish, please, don't start
with me about the job.

Don't do this tonight.

You know, I'm out there
risking my life to help people.

The least that you can do
is give me some support.

Support?

You're the--you're the onewho's never at my concerts.

You're never at home.

Now you're blaming me
for all your problems?

No.

I've supported you beingon the force since day one.

What do you want me to do?

You want me to quit
and stay home all day?

Ivan, this is a marriage.

We're not just roommates, where you can come and go

as you please.

I'm the one that bought you
that piano when we had nothing.

Yeah, yeah, you're not listening, as usual.

Trisha, I go to
your shows when I can.

What else do you need
me to do?

I hate coming home to this.

You coming home to this?

You're the one that's
out of town all the time.

I come home to nothing.

Why can't you justhave a conversation?

Why is that so difficult?

Because it goes nowhere!

Well, that's whyI found someone else!

Trisha.

I was seeinganother man, Ivan.

But I'm notseeing him anymore.

It's done.

It was a mistake.

I can't be here right now.

Ivan, pleasedon't--don't go now.

We need to workthrough this, Ivan.

I'm going to cover
Don's shift tonight.

Why now?

Ivan, please.

So, it's my fault.

He was out that night
because of me.

I'm the one responsible.

And those were the last words
we said to each other.

And you've kept this toyourself for the past 3 years?

All right, Trisha, it's real simple.

You got to forgive yourself.

It's my fault.

No, there were a lot of factors

that you had no control over.

Are you sorryfor what you did?

Of course.

Unforgiveness isa killer, Trisha,

towards yourself, towards Titus.

If I just
would have stopped--

No, no, no, no, no, listen, listen to me.

You had no control overhis actions that night.

Hanging onto this unforgiveness is like drinking poison

and expecting Titus to die.

You know, it justdoesn't work that way.

Well, how does it work?

Okay, well, youcan't do it by yourself.

You need help, you need your family,

someone like me, and you need God.

I don't know where to start.

I know that, Trisha, and that's why I'm here.

Think of it this way.

You can't recover from howyou're feeling right now

until you startforgiving yourself.

Okay?

Will the defendant
please rise?

The court finds the new evidence of frequent child abuse

upon the defendant
as insufficient to reduce

the sentence of death.

Titus Freeman, you will remain convicted of premeditated murder

and sentenced to death.

Court is adjourned.

Heads up, heads up,
apparently there's more

silverware missing
from the mess.

Nobody sleeps
tonight until we find it.

Titus, you were out last.
We're going to start with you.

Come on, Lee,
get him cuffed up.

I ain't staying in here, man.

I can't do it no more.

Man, just kill me.

I can't do it no more, man.

Just kill me
and get it over with.

Get his hands, get his hands.

Titus, one, two.

Titus!

Don't do it, Titus, please.

Let him go.

Get him out of there.
Get him out of there.

Sixty days in the hole,
get that punk out of here.

Get him out of there now.

Get that piece of trash out ofmy sight before I bust his head.

I'm sick of looking
at that punk.

Get him out of my face.

Heads up, heads up, we're bringing back the bad boy.

Sixty days in the holeand he ain't happy.

Come on, let's go, get him in the cell.

Get that opened up.

Come on, get that pieceof trash in the cell.

Get him in there, getthose hooks off him.

Get out of my way, get out of my way.

Freeman, you ever pull anotherstunt like that again

and I'm going to killyou myself.

Get him locked down.

Titus, take this.

I don't need that.

Stop acting like a fool
and wrap this around

before you freeze to death.

Come on.

Congratulations, young blood.

Ain't nobody ever made it
in the hole for 60 days.

You're a bad boy.

Yeah, well,
they can't get to me.

Yeah, I guess not.

I don't bow or
scrape for nobody.

Yeah, I know, Titus.

I can't stay
in here, Clayton.

I heard about your last
appeal, man, I'm sorry.

I can't die alone in here.

I won't.

My father died alone with
people cursing his grave,

and I can't be like him.

You don't have to be, Titus.

Oh, believe me, I won't.

No, what I'm telling you is
whether you get out of here

or not,
you could still be free.

Oh man, we must be talking
about something different.

My freedom is
outside these walls.

And what I'm telling you is
whether you get out of here

or not, you could still be free, and you don't have to live with

that pain anymore.

You're losing me, man.

Jesus made a way
for you to be forgiven.

Stop playing
with my head, Clayton.

What you did to that
innocent man

can be wiped off your record.

I thought I told you
to shut up about God.

He's all you
got left, Titus.

Oh man, I can write
the governor again.

I can write some senator,
some people--

Your last appeal is over,
man.

You can't save
yourself no more.

I can't die in here, man.

There's so much
I haven't even done yet.

We've all felt
that way, Titus.

No, it's different for me.

I haven't been married yet.

I haven't had kids.

Hey, look,
believe it or not, man,

there's something that goes evendeeper than that, all right?

Oh Clayton, I
could be a good father,

man, I know I could.

You should have saw
me raising Danny.

Titus, I want those
same things for you too,

man, but I'm going--I'm going totell you don't none of it matter

if you ain't got
God in your life.

I should know because I
had all those things,

and I lost them.

You see, I can't
speak for nobody else,

but I'm up in here
for murder, man.

I got back from
fighting a classified mission,

and I wanted to retire.

But I just wasn't happy
with what they paid vets,

so I started selling drugs.

One night, this young lady,
she came to buy,

and the police decided that theywas going to raid me

in my own crib.

So, I picked up my rifle,
and I started shooting back.

One of the bullets
went through the drywall,

and it killed that young woman,

killed that young mother.

What I didn't know was that
she was there with her

little daughter to buy
drugs from me.

In a split second, I orphaned
that little baby girl

all because I wanted
a bigger paycheck.

Well, when I got here,
the other prisoners,

they found out why
I was locked up,

so that first year, it was

I had to fight for
my life every day.

But I was a soldier,
so I survived.

But the guilt,

the guilt and the shame

that came from me
knowing that little girl

was wondering
why I did what I did

for the rest of her life,
that tore me up.

And I started thinking
about her little face.

She was horrified.

Her face haunted
me for a long time,

Titus, and so I started
thinking of ways

that I could take myself out.

But one day, this man, I
don't know where he came,

and he started talking
about how we could be forgiven.

I don't know where he came from,

I don't even know
who he was with.

I just remember him speaking
in that gym about how we

didn't have to live with
that kind of shame

anymore for the rest
of our lives.

And he helped me, Titus.

I asked God to forgive me.

I asked God to save me,
and I started following Jesus.

And that's--that's when

all that pain got lifted off.

Then I felt like I
could breathe again.

And I'm going to tell
you even today,

I feel like I'm more free
inside these walls

than most folks outside.

And I want you to know, Titus,
I understand how you feel.

But you need to know
everything can change.

Oh man, but if
somebody shoots at you,

you got to shoot back.

No, no, Titus,
you're missing the point, man.

Me killing that young lady,
me killing them cops,

I was wrong from
the very start, man.

I had this hole in
my heart, you know?

I tried to fill it by
making six figures,

but look where that got me.

I had the wife,
I had the kids, Titus,

but I don't even
have that anymore.

Only God can fill
that kind of hole, man.

And I'm here to tell you
that he loves you,

and he sent his only
Son to die for you, bro.

and you need to know
that he can forgive you.

He will forgive
you for anything.

Well, if your God
was so great,

then where was he when my pops
was beating the out of me

night after night, huh?

Where was he then?

He was the one keeping
you alive

when you
should have been dead.

Keeping me alive
for what, Clayton,

so I can die in here?

So he can save you, Titus.

Save me
from what, man?

Titus, make no mistake, thereis a heaven and there is a hell.

Our soul goes to
one place or another.

Now, where you choose
to go, that's up to you.

I see what you're doing.

I'm trying to help you.

I didn't ask for your help.

That ain't going to stop
God from pursuing you, bro.

I'm not ready forsomething like that, Clayton.

Hey, it's not even aboutwhether you ready or not, Titus.

Oh man, just backoff me, all right?

I just need some time, okay?

Just--I just need some time.

I just need some time.

All right, Titus, but
just don't wait too long,

you hear me?

Don't you wait too long.

Oh, I got you now, Doc.

We'll see.

No, I see,
You're going to see.

Call.

There it is, baby, full house.

Four of a kind? Man, take these cards.

Four kings.

Take these back.I quit, Doc.

Okay, I'm going to deal
one more hand.

No, I'm not playingwith you no more.

Come on,
I'll let you win.

No, I quit.

What did I do?

I'm playing with a man whoshould be dealing in Vegas.

Oh, don't say that.

That's what got me put in
here in the first place.

Oh, for real?

Randy.

Hey, John, what
are you doing here?

Got good news.

Your convictionhas been overturned.

New evidence was found aftercertain witnesses came forward

with sworn statementson your behalf.

How'd you find them?

That's just it, Randy, we didn't.

They found us.

You're free to go, Randy.

Open cell number two.

You're a free man, Randy.

Get out of here, Randy.

You're joking, right?

I can't walk out
without my cuffs on.

It's illegal.

No, you and I are bothwalking out, no more cuffs.

Oh, come on,
where's the camera, Manny?

Randy, you've got 60 seconds
to get your stuff

and get out of my prison.

I'm sick of looking
at you, Randy.

Get in there, clean
that cell, Randy, move it.

Hey, you don't needto talk to him like that,

he's a free man now.

Don't talk to me.
I'll do my job, you do yours.

I am doing my job.I am taking care of my client.

Hey, come on,
man, don't push him, man.

I've got a prison to run,
counselor, and not you.

Get out of my face.

I will have youbefore a judge.

You need to learn
some manners, Manny.

Get back in there and
clean that cell already.

Don't you ever talk to me--

I will talk to youany way I need to.

I got my stuff,
all right?

Here's all my stuff,
you happy now?

Oh my god.

Oh Randy, get off me.

You are a good man,
Charlie Brown.

Now, I got some slobber
there under your H.

I'm just
going to dab that off.

Randy, leave it.

Let's just leave it.

Yeah, just leave it.

He's a grown man, can clean his own shirt, right?

John, give me a second,
would you?

Sure, I'll waitfor you over here.

I guess there's something
in those prayers of yours,

huh Clay?

I told you, man.

I thought I was trapped
in here forever.

If you'reimpressed with this,

you wait until we seeeach other in heaven.

I won't forget you, Clay.

Then you bettersend me some letters.

Hey, I will do, man.

Listen, I just want to
say thanks for everything.

Hey, go on out there and findthat wife of yours, man.

Okay.

Hey Randy?

Yeah.

Don't you ever forget what
God did for you, man.

No way.

Whoo, we're going to Taco Bell.

Daddy, daddy, daddy.

Oh my gosh, you are not goingto believe who asked me

out this weekend.

Are you ready, are you ready?

Okay, the captainof the football team.

I mean, I turned himdown and everything,

but dad, it was so flattering.

How often do you getasked out by anyone,

the captain of anything?

That's great, Carey.

But from now on, I want to meet
these guys

you keep telling me about.

What?

I don't know what to say.

I've been waitingfor this moment

for the past 10 years.

And I don't know what to say.

I mean, are you okay?

Can you talknormally all the time,

or does it hurt?

Do you get a certainnumber of words?

Do you have to take a pillthat keeps the words flowing?

Am I the only onethat can hear you?

No, honey, I'm fine.

Just in case I don't
get the chance again,

I want to tell you
how much I love you, Carey.

You mean everything to me,
and that'll never change.

I love you too, dad.

Oh guys, come on, no touching,

quit the hugging.

All right, Doc,
let's go, come on,

break it up.

Man, who is it?

You'll see.

I told you if it wasn't my brother,

I don't want to see nobody, man.

Well, you'll find out soon enough.

Stop playing games with me.

Titus Freeman?

We haven't formally met yet.

I'm Trisha Parks.

You shouldn't be here.

And I came here
to say something,

and then I'll get
out of your way, Titus.

I don't want no problemswith you--

Titus, I came here
to forgive you.

You need to know
that I don't hate you.

And I don't wish
death upon you.

What I went through was painful,

but who am I to judge you?

It's too much for me.

And I want you to know that I
won't be at your execution.

I don't know what it is,
Titus,

but God has changed me.

And I hope he does
the same for you.

Before I leave, I want
to give you something.

See, see, I'm a pianist.

And I finally got
back to playing

after taking a long break.

I made this tape of music
just for you.

I hope you like piano music
because it's all it is.

I appreciate you--I
appreciate you

taking the time to meet
with me, Titus.

Get up.

I said get up.

♪♪♪

Pops.

Listen, I--I don't know
if you can hear me.

I guess it really
doesn't matter.

I just needed to
let you know that

no matter what happened

growing up in that
house in the past, it's over.

I forgive you.

I forgive what you did.

I've allowed you to live
rent-free inside of me

for far too long.

And I'm not holding
onto that hate no more.

I'm cutting you loose.

I forgive you.

And God,

God, I need you to forgive
me for killing that man.

Help me through this.

I'm scared.

I don't want to die alone.

Listen, I don't know
how to do this,

but I believe you.

I believe what you did.

And I understand if
you're not buying any of this,

but if I was going to be here
any longer,

oh, I would want to know you.

I would.

So, if you are real,
then show me who you are

because my time is running out.

Titus Freeman, the time
has come for you to walk

the longest mile.

Come on, Manny.

On your feet, Titus.

Get up, Titus.
On your feet, Titus.

Show your wrists.

Come on, man, put
your hands through, let's go.

Let's get this done.

Come on,
now ease up on him.

Step back,
open this gate.

Titus, don't
even listen to that.

Titus, to the line, let's go.

Come on, let's go,
move, step up.

Right there, son.

Pat him down.

We'll be praying for you,
Titus, believe that.

Hurry up, let'sget this over with, man.

I've been waiting for this.

Prisoner ready.

Dead man walking.

Don't even listen to that,
Titus, you hear me?

I'll be praying for you.

It's time.

You can do it, Titus.

You hear me, Titus,
