ADAM PAGE Some people in this room are probably just waiting for the day they can shut me up for good. But, you know, I never get to speak in public about the only person I know who makes me speechless. WOMAN ON COMPUTER In less than three weeks, Jared Bankowski will be the first man to be executed in Pennsylvania in the 21st century. The crime-- 12 years ago, an African-American family was brutally murdered in their home in a primarily white suburban area. Also convicted as an accessory to the crime was 17-year-old Terry Kucik. ADAM PAGE What motivated Jared Bankowski and Terry Kucik we may never truly understand. That's not to say that the African-American community's outrage at that time wasn't justified. She is the woman in my life who has made possible everything I am and everything I'd ever wished to be. INTERVIEWER Now, the trial happened during the 2004 Democratic National Convention when President Obama, who at the time was a senator, gave a memorable speech that you quoted in your summation. ADAM PAGE Yes, "There's not a white America or a black America or a Latino America or an Asian America. There's the United States of America." This was never a trial about race for me. This was about justice. BILLIE PAGE This is heavy. ADAM PAGE It's heavy. Come here. BILLIE PAGE Are you crazy? ADAM PAGE 11 years ago, Jared Bankowski was sentenced to death for the murders of Broderick and Frances Butler and their daughter Emily. In all the years of appeals, not one piece of new exculpatory evidence has been presented by the defense. Jenny Butler, the only eyewitness to this crime, was eight years old at the time. She and the people of Philadelphia have been patiently waiting for justice and they should have to wait no longer. The governor signed an execution warrant for 18 days from today. It is the strong recommendation of the commonwealth that Jared Bankowski's appeal for clemency be denied and the date of his execution upheld. MAN Is there anything you'd like to say, Mr. Bankowski? Very well. The board recognizes the need for urgency in this case. It will consider Mr. Bankowski's appeal for clemency and will submit its recommendation to the governor shortly. CLARK RYLANCE These letters are from Terry Kucik, the codefendant in the Butler murder case, convicted for accessory to rape and murder. We did not take his case because his conviction was based on semen DNA evidence found inside the 16-year-old murder victim. CHRISTINE ROSA Sorry. Sorry. CLARK RYLANCE It's okay. Catch your breath. And just so you guys know, Christine's gonna be running all third-year interns, okay? And back to this Butler case. INTERN 2 They were convicted together. So why didn't Kucik get the death penalty like Bankowski? CHRISTINE ROSA The jury opted for life without parole. Terry Kucik was 17. No record. INTERN 1 But I don't understand why we didn't take his case. CHRISTINE ROSA Why? INTERN 1 I believe his story. He said he was in a relationship with the girl, that it wasn't rape. CHRISTINE ROSA Okay, look, you're not focusing on the information that matters. It's not about whether or not you believe their story. We get thousands of letters. It is easier to get into Harvard than to get us to accept a case. We say yes only if we can rewrite a narrative that questions the prosecutor's case and only if the science can answer that question with a DNA component. We're training ourselves to find what we don't know. Prosecutors, police can make mistakes, but they also take liberties to make cases. CLARK RYLANCE Not all of them. Not all the time. CHRISTINE ROSA They manipulate witnesses. They suppress, even manufacture evidence and they get away with it. CLARK RYLANCE Not all of them. Not all the time. CHRISTINE ROSA Terry Kucik was convicted because his DNA matched the semen found in the victim. Nothing we could do. INTERN 2 Are we gonna be working on the Bankowski execution? CHRISTINE ROSA Maybe. CLARK RYLANCE No. Guys, we don't go out looking for work. Bankowski never once sent us a letter. And besides, there is such a thing as actual guilt. So Christine is in charge of intake. She'll be the one assigning you letters to be read and analyzed before they're brought to the committee. CHRISTINE ROSA AND SINGER Boogieman Simmer down, simmer down, simmer down now Simmer down now, simmer down now Simmer down, quiet dog, wild hog, my God And the rocket don't stop Brooklyn and the kids heat up the stove top Banging the Empire State and navigating the way Your preservation make the greatest hip hop... CHRISTINE ROSA Hey. DANNY Where are you? CHRISTINE ROSA On my way to Lock Haven. DANNY Why? CHRISTINE ROSA I'm driving. I shouldn't be on the phone. Are you just waking up? DANNY I'm on the late shift. Listen, I was thinking maybe we do something normal this weekend like, I don't know, go to the Poconos. Have sex on the hiking trail. CHRISTINE ROSA I'm not really a mountain girl. DANNY They're the Poconos. They're not really the mountains. Besides, we kind of really haven't seen much of each other during the daylight. I just thought that it might be nice. CHRISTINE ROSA I don't know. I might get to know you too well. DANNY Christine, tell me the truth. Am I just like this sex toy thing to you? CHRISTINE ROSA No? DANNY I feel so cheap. CHRISTINE ROSA SINGER Simmer down, quiet dog, wild hog CHRISTINE ROSA Hi. CARBONES DAUGHTER Can I help you? CHRISTINE ROSA Yeah, hi, I'm Christine Rosa from the Innocence Initiative. I called Mr. Carbone-- CARBONES DAUGHTER Dad! CHRISTINE Mr. Carbone, we spoke earlier. CARBONE Just wait. CARBONES DAUGHTER These pictures could cause a lot of problems, right? I don't think he should give them away for nothing. CHRISTINE Well, technically, they're the property of the Philadelphia PD. CARBONES DAUGHTER Yeah, so my father could get in big trouble giving them to you. He should be compensated. CARBONE Go make dinner. Come on. I transferred all my negatives to digital when I retired. Did you tell anyone you were coming here? CHRISTINE No, why? CARBONE No one can know that you got these from me. Anyone asks me, I never heard of you before. You understand? CHRISTINE ROSA Yes, but I-- CHRISTINE ROSA We have to talk about the Bankowski case. CLARK RYLANCE It's midnight. I'm going home. CHRISTINE ROSA Please just listen. Sit. Terry Kucik has been writing us letters ever since he was in prison and we couldn't take the case-- CLARK RYLANCE Because his semen was found inside Emily Butler's body. CHRISTINE ROSA Wait, wait, wait. In almost every letter he explains his arrest. In one he mentioned being photographed by a police photographer. CLARK RYLANCE Again, his semen was found-- CHRISTINE ROSA Will you shut up?! Sorry. Sorry. I haven't slept. Now, I thought if they took photos of Kucik, they must have done the same with Jared Bankowski. Figures, right? CLARK RYLANCE Well, see, now I'm afraid to disagree with you. CHRISTINE ROSA There's no mention of police photos of Bankowski in either the discovery request or the DA's evidence list, which I thought was weird because the DNA case against Bankowski was all about Frances Butler's fingernails. Bankowski's blood and skin were found underneath them, which meant she'd scratched him. There's not a mark on him. Why didn't the defense find these in discovery? Why weren't they on the DA's evidence list? CLARK RYLANCE Prosecution had positive DNA results and there was an eyewitness ID. CHRISTINE ROSA An eight-year-old girl with the flu hiding under a couch who just watched her family be murdered. CLARK RYLANCE Where did you get these photos? CHRISTINE ROSA I can't tell you that. CLARK RYLANCE Are you kidding me? These could be evidence of prosecutorial misconduct. Where did you get these? CHRISTINE ROSA I can't tell you. I promised the source anonymity. CLARK RYLANCE I'm gonna go home. CHRISTINE ROSA Come on, Clark. We don't argue misconduct. We don't ask for a Brady hearing. We simply ask to retest Bankowski's DNA. CLARK RYLANCE How long till the execution? CHRISTINE ROSA 17 days. CLARK RYLANCE Start over. ADAM PAGE Suddenly after 11 years somebody mysteriously finds photos no one saw at trial and lays them on the defense's doorstep? CLARK RYLANCE You were the prosecutor on that case, Adam. It kind of made your career, too, didn't it? ADAM PAGE I'm not running for office, Clark. CLARK RYLANCE Sounds like you are. JUDGE STERN Boys, don't make me separate you. CLARK RYLANCE Your Honor, I resent the prosecution's implication of coercion. The Innocence Initiative has no interest in politics. ADAM PAGE Coercion? CLARK RYLANCE It never has and never will. ADAM PAGE What you hear in my voice is outrage. Jenny Butler witnessed her family being butchered by Jared Bankowski. He was proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. His appeal for clemency denied, and now you're standing here telling me that the murderer's rights are more important than the victim's? CLARK RYLANCE That's not at all what I'm saying. ADAM PAGE If that verdict had gone the other way, this city would have burned to the ground. And what happens when this gets out? Are you gonna take responsibility, Clark? You gonna put out the fires? ALAN DALTON Your Honor, we simply ask that a stay be ordered and a new DNA sample of Jared Bankowski be tested against the originals used at trial. JUDGE STERN I'll take it under advisement. I'm not going to issue a gag order, but while this is proceeding, for the sake of the city, let's keep it out of the press. CLARK RYLANCE We agree. ADAM PAGE Fine. JUDGE STERN I know time is of the essence. I'll rule in 72 hours. ALAN DALTON Mr. Rylance is with the Innocence Initiative. He's agreed to help with your defense. JARED BANKOWSKI Did I ask for help? ALAN DALTON They found the photos, Jared. We think they can force the judge's hand. JARED BANKOWSKI To do what? ALAN DALTON Order a new DNA test. If we can show-- JARED BANKOWSKI You're not taking my blood. ALAN DALTON It's the best option we have. JARED BANKOWSKI I don't care. You're not taking my blood. CLARK RYLANCE I have to ask this, Mr. Bankowski. Are you guilty? 'Cause if you are, we should all go home. JARED BANKOWSKI Well, I'm guilty of something or I wouldn't be here, would I? That's what my mother's priest tells me. ALAN DALTON If we can show the DNA was flawed, that's gonna go a long way. JARED BANKOWSKI They're not letting me out of here until I'm dead one way or another. I checked the TV. "All My Children" is cancelled. Nothing to hang around for. CLARK RYLANCE Then why go through all those appeals if that's how you felt? JARED BANKOWSKI They broke up the days. The years. Gave pricks like him a day job. Maybe early on I was stupid enough to think there was a chance. Don't play me to get your name in the paper. CHRISTINE ROSA So you're just gonna let this go? CLARK RYLANCE The man's been sitting in a cell preparing to die. This is not an unusual reaction. CHRISTINE ROSA Let me talk to him. I can get him to change his mind. CLARK RYLANCE A: You're not a lawyer yet. B: He's on death row. You can't even get in to see him. Dalton wants to give it a few days. CHRISTINE ROSA We can't afford a few days. CLARK RYLANCE Listen to me. I know this is personal for you. I know your history. But you've got to slow down or you're gonna burn out, okay? You want to be a lawyer? You better get used to knowing what should happen and accepting what does. BILLIE PAGE You're eating? We have to go. ADAM PAGE You know I can't eat the food at these things. It's $25,000 a table and all they give you is cafeteria meat. BILLIE PAGE Give me a bite. You make a good sandwich. Don't get mayonnaise on your tux. ADAM PAGE I don't even believe it. The timing on this is so damn obvious, it's comical. BILLIE PAGE Who are you talking to, mumbles? ADAM PAGE After 10 years, right before the man's execution, there's new evidence? That's comical. BILLIE PAGE So what are you so upset about? ADAM PAGE I'm so upset because it ain't about the case, baby. Somebody is going after me. BILLIE PAGE I don't want to hear it. ADAM PAGE Trust me, I know what I know. I wouldn't be so sure about Clark. Nobody uses social media more than the Initiative. Half their cases are won in the headlines. BILLIE PAGE Clark is not after you. ADAM PAGE Remember in law school he went after the president of the law review right after I said I was. BILLIE PAGE I told you I put him up to that because you had your eye on that boney-ass TA from Winnetka. ADAM PAGE She wasn't boney-ass. BILLIE PAGE You know what, Adam? You're not thinking straight. ADAM PAGE Well, all right, tell me, Counselor. BILLIE PAGE What do you expect, Adam? You think nobody's gonna try to throw dirt your way? ADAM PAGE Not at this case. Not at the Butler case. BILLIE PAGE Why not? It was your first big one. If you want to take down a hero, you take down what made him a hero. That's what I would do. It's a smart move. You're not gonna tell Jenny, are you? I don't think she can handle it. ADAM PAGE No. Nothing's gonna come of it. There's nothing there. BILLIE PAGE Trey? BILLIE PAGE Hey. How are you? TREY PAGE Hey, Mom. Good. You look beautiful. BILLIE PAGE Thank you. Do you guys want some sandwiches? TREY PAGE Naw, it's all good. We're gonna order in. NOAH Actually, can I use your bathroom? BILLIE PAGE Absolutely. You know where it is. Adam, we've got to go. ADAM PAGE You want the rest? TREY PAGE Naw, I'm good. ADAM PAGE Trey, we talked about this. Pull your pants up, boy. TREY PAGE Dad, it's just a style. BILLIE PAGE Trey, pull up your pants. Baby, we have to go. ADAM PAGE Pull your pants up. TREY PAGE Yeah. TERRY KUCIK Christine? CHRISTINE ROSA Terry. TERRY KUCIK Man, I can't believe you're actually here. Been writing letters for years. Every day another letter. CHRISTINE ROSA I know. I've read them all. TERRY KUCIK Thank you. Really, I'd almost given up. So where do we start? CHRISTINE ROSA I wanted to ask you a few questions about the case. TERRY KUCIK Sure. Fire away. CHRISTINE ROSA Jared Bankowski had these photos taken of him the night he was arrested. TERRY KUCIK Yeah, so did I. So why is that important? CHRISTINE ROSA Bankowski's DNA was found under Frances Butler's fingernails. That means that she had to have scratched him or cut him. But there's no marks on him in any of these photos. TERRY KUCIK Right. But what's that got to do with my case? CHRISTINE ROSA He's scheduled to be executed in a week. TERRY KUCIK Yeah, so? CHRISTINE ROSA So, I just wanted to see if you knew anything, anything at all that could help him. TERRY KUCIK Wait a minute. You want me to help him? CHRISTINE ROSA We can't take your case, Terry. The DNA was specific. Your sperm was found inside Emily Butler. TERRY KUCIK Jesus! GUARD Kucik! TERRY KUCIK You read the letters, yeah? We had sex that day. I didn't need to rape her because we were together. The only thing that I know about what happened in that house was my girlfriend was murdered and I'm in here for life. And you know what? I'm glad they're giving Bankowski the needle. I'd give it to him myself if they'd let me. Shit. MRS BANKOWSKI Do you want a sandwich, maybe? CHRISTINE ROSA No, thank you. MRS BANKOWSKI Oh, you young women. Careers, you're so smart, but you don't eat a thing, do you? CHRISTINE ROSA Well, it's a busy time. MRS BANKOWSKI Oh, I admire you. So wonderful to have a-- what would you call it-- a reason for yourself. You know? Not that raising a family isn't a reason. It can be God's most beautiful reason. But, you know, you do your job, right or wrong, then the children leave and then what reason do you have? CHRISTINE ROSA Have you seen your son recently? MRS BANKOWSKI No. No, I-- I used to go the last day of every month, but he doesn't want me to go to that-- you know, where the-- where the-- where the men go to. CHRISTINE ROSA Mrs. Bankowski, we're trying to get permission from the court to retest Jared's DNA. MRS BANKOWSKI Why? CHRISTINE ROSA We think there could have been a mistake. MRS BANKOWSKI After 11 years? What mistake? CHRISTINE ROSA That's why we need to do the test. MRS BANKOWSKI Excuse me a minute. MRS BANKOWSKI Jared said no? CHRISTINE ROSA Would you talk to him? MRS BANKOWSKI Oh, no. Nope. Couldn't do that. Jared said no, then it's a no. CHRISTINE ROSA But it might mean a stay. If we're lucky, maybe even a retrial. MRS BANKOWSKI No, I have prayed on this many times. What God has decided, let no man undo. CHRISTINE ROSA I don't mean to be rude, but if you asked God, I think He'd tell you that was a load of crap. MRS BANKOWSKI You don't mean to be rude and you talk like that in my house? CHRISTINE ROSA I'm sorry. I just don't understand. MRS BANKOWSKI Hey, I don't want to say anything bad against you-- Christine is it? CHRISTINE ROSA Mm-hmm. MRS BANKOWSKI Don't you think it's a little cruel to offer him hope after all these years? CHRISTINE ROSA But if there's a chance-- MRS BANKOWSKI I'm gonna tell you something. My son... was headed toward this since he was a teenager. I was alone raising him. I didn't want to see who he was. And now, after all these years, he has become a better man in prison than he ever was out here. After that horrible thing that he did, God has given him a gift: his redemption. CHRISTINE ROSA Do you work, Mrs. Bankowski? MRS BANKOWSKI No, I don't. I've had health problems. Sciatica. CHRISTINE ROSA It must be tough getting by. MRS BANKOWSKI Well, I have managed. CHRISTINE ROSA Your house is lovely. Is that a new flat screen? MRS BANKOWSKI I'm sorry, dear. You're from what law firm? I didn't get it. JUDGE STERN Regarding the motion to retest Jared Bankowski's DNA, although the court finds the photos compelling, it is troubled by the issues of chain of custody and the possibility of manipulation. And given the preponderance of evidence and the eyewitness testimony, the court has decided to deny the defendant's motion. The execution warrant shall stand. ALAN DALTON We'll continue to seek redress. CHRISTINE ROSA What if we went to an independent lab? ALAN DALTON We wouldn't have access to the crime scene DNA. CHRISTINE ROSA We can compare Bankowski's DNA against the original results. We have the printouts. ALAN DALTON That's assuming the lab could even turn it around that quickly. We've only got 11 days. CLARK RYLANCE You guys are forgetting the fact that Bankowski has refused to have his DNA tested. I'm sorry, Christine. DANNY Hey, you want to order in? I have to eat. CHRISTINE ROSA No, I'm not really hungry. Why can't you help me, Danny? Come on, you know people inside. Just get me on a list to see Bankowski. I'll do the rest. Really? Your kisses are so powerful, I'm gonna completely forget what I'm asking for? DANNY Sorry, maybe if I go out and commit multiple murders, I'll get your full attention. CHRISTINE ROSA Oh, come on. Don’t be a baby. DANNY You clearly have a lovely evening planned out with grisly crime scene photos CHRISTINE ROSA What is your problem? Just say it. You're saying this is a waste of time because you know they're guilty. DANNY Yeah, they are. The guys are butchers. The evidence is all there. CHRISTINE ROSA You are such a cop. Evidence is just evidence. It's not always the truth. DANNY This isn't about evidence. This is not about who's killed who or who's guilty or not. This is about you being a girl, me being a guy. We just had unbelievable sex and I would like to have normal after unbelievable sex talk and eat and, I don't know, maybe do it a couple more times a couple different ways. CHRISTINE ROSA All right, fine. Order cheesesteaks, take your pants off, and get me into death row. DANNY Why does that turn me on so much? CHRISTINE ROSA Hi. Hi there. Good morning. Yeah, you. Hi there. I'm Christine Rosa. I was supposed to ask for Rudy. MAGOO Rudy's on a break. Who you here to see? CHRISTINE ROSA Uh, well, I was supposed to ask for Rudy, but-- MAGOO Who are you here to see? CHRISTINE ROSA Jared Bankowski. MAGOO You're not on the list. CHRISTINE ROSA Not gonna be on the list. I'll wait for Rudy. MAGOO I don't know when Rudy's gonna be back. He could be gone for hours. I wouldn't wait if I were you. CHRISTINE ROSA Are you Magoo? MAGOO That's a nickname. Why? CHRISTINE ROSA Right, I heard about you. MAGOO What? CHRISTINE ROSA You're the guard from Greensburg who accidentally released an inmate with forged signatures on the forms, right? I guess that's why they got you on death row now since there's no revolving door here to confuse you. RUDY What's going on? CHRISTINE ROSA Oh, are you Rudy? I'm Christine. Danny's friend. RUDY Oh, hey. CHRISTINE ROSA Look at that. Rudy's back. The hours just flew by. RUDY Look, I'll see what I can do, but I'm not guaranteeing you anything. CHRISTINE ROSA Thanks. Tell him I'm his new lawyer. RUDY He'd be more interested if I tell him your measurements. JARED BANKOWSKI Taking over for Dalton? This is my lucky day. CHRISTINE ROSA My name is Christine Rosa. I work for the Innocence Initiative. Sort of. I'm an intern. But I'm taking my bar exam next month. JARED BANKOWSKI Show me your tits. CHRISTINE ROSA My father was on death row. He was executed. JARED BANKOWSKI Hmm, let me see 'em. CHRISTINE ROSA Why won't you let us take a DNA sample? Wait! Wait! JARED BANKOWSKI All I see is a bra. CHRISTINE ROSA I met with your mother. JARED BANKOWSKI Why? What'd she say to you? CHRISTINE ROSA I guess foreplay is over. She says your execution is a gift from God. Kind of an unusual reaction for a mother, don't you think? Something about this isn't what it looks like. When the cops picked you up, you were with a Loretta Strauss. A week later, she disappeared. Never been heard from again. Before she went missing, she was arrested on a DUI. Her bail was paid for by someone named Louie Antonik. Antonik was in the Kielbasa Posse. He supposedly died of an aneurism six months later, but no death certificate-- JARED BANKOWSKI Get out of here. Stay out of this. And stay away from my mother. CHRISTINE ROSA The DNA sample, it'll take less than 20 seconds. JARED BANKOWSKI What do you care? CHRISTINE ROSA Look, I don't know you at all. Maybe you're a complete scumbag. You want to die? That's your right. But I don't like it when the law gets manipulated by people who think they matter more than other people. Like my father. Like you. I hate their arrogance. I hate they feel safe. I hate they feel entitled to feel safe. I want to make them sweat. Even if they win. Don't you? JARED BANKOWSKI Can you guarantee me something? No matter what happens, you make sure my blood is tested. CHRISTINE ROSA Of course. That's why I'm here. JARED BANKOWSKI I mean no matter what happens. CHRISTINE ROSA I guarantee the test will happen. JARED BANKOWSKI Did they really kill your daddy? CLARK RYLANCE Are you out of your mind? You could get disbarred before you even take the bar. CHRISTINE ROSA That makes no sense at all. CLARK RYLANCE How did you get in to see him? CHRISTINE ROSA It doesn't matter. I got it done. CLARK RYLANCE I don't know what to say to you, Christine. This is not about you or your father or even Jared Bankowski. This is about 137 clients we have sitting in prison who actually are innocent. This is about a 480-case backlog and the decade I have spent whoring for money so we can make good on our promises. You have put all that at risk. I should report you and fire you. CHRISTINE ROSA I understand. I'll leave on my own. CLARK RYLANCE Don't move. ADAM PAGE Hey, Clark. You calling to apologize? CLARK RYLANCE Not in this lifetime. I just want to let you know that we've decided to retest Bankowski's DNA through an independent lab. ADAM PAGE Really? My sources tell me Bankowski refused to be tested. CLARK RYLANCE He changed his mind. As a former colleague, I want to ask you a favor. Could you give us access to the original crime scene DNA? ADAM PAGE You're kidding me, right? CLARK RYLANCE No, I'm dead serious. ADAM PAGE You have less than a week till the execution. You'll never get the results in time. CLARK RYLANCE We're still going ahead. ADAM PAGE Fine, Clark. Good luck and good-bye. BILLIE PAGE Trey, can you please help me clear this table? TREY PAGE Dad, you finished? ADAM PAGE Yes. ISAIAH PAGE That etouffee was delicious, Billie. BILLIE PAGE You know that's Grace's brown roux. She taught me how to make it. ISAIAH PAGE Well, I wouldn't have dared said this if she was here, but you made it just as good. BILLIE PAGE ISAIAH PAGE Shh. BILLIE PAGE You can take some home because there's plenty. ISAIAH PAGE Thank you, baby. TREY PAGE Let me grab that for you. ISAIAH PAGE There you go, son. All right. BILLIE PAGE How you doing, Isaiah? It must be lonely without her, huh? ISAIAH PAGE It's an adjustment, there's no doubt about that. BILLIE PAGE Yeah. ISAIAH PAGE Sometimes I still wake up and forget that she's gone. It takes a few minutes to remember. But it's all okay. BILLIE PAGE Yeah. ISAIAH PAGE So, Trey, you still doing that writing? TREY PAGE Yes, sir. ISAIAH PAGE What you getting-- what they call that? Slam? TREY PAGE Yeah. ISAIAH PAGE Give me a few of them slams. TREY PAGE Okay, okay. These girls are my infatuation. God's greatest creation. They have the power to put my body in physical depression, encouraging the animal inside of me to take on a sexual aggression. My words are inspired by the curves and that's just a little lyrical confession. ISAIAH PAGE Inspired by the curves, huh? BILLIE PAGE Okay. ISAIAH PAGE Mm-hmm. BILLIE PAGE You hear that? You hear him? You hear your son? ADAM PAGE Yes, I did. BILLIE PAGE ADAM PAGE Better take that animal outside of here. Excuse us for a second, babe. Can I talk to you, Pops? ISAIAH PAGE Sure, son. Excuse me, Billie. BILLIE PAGE Yeah. CLARK RYLANCE We have to face the real possibility that these test results might not be done in time. It usually takes four to six weeks. JARED BANKOWSKI Yeah, but you'll still get them, right? CLARK RYLANCE We're gonna put a rush on it. JARED BANKOWSKI I don't care when they're done. You just make sure those tests happen and everybody knows. CLARK RYLANCE Would you sign that, please? JARED BANKOWSKI One more thing. I want to see my mother the day of the execution. ISAIAH PAGE You're not really worried about that DNA, are you? ADAM PAGE No, we got Bankowski dead to rights. I'm worried about you. ISAIAH PAGE Why? ADAM PAGE If Clark goes public with those photos, then the press is gonna look directly into your department's involvement. ISAIAH PAGE The press is gonna make a story out of the father and son thing every chance they get. Don't even bother yourself about that. ADAM PAGE But it was my decision and my mistake, and I don't want them dragging you into it. Damn it. I knew it was the wrong move. I knew it then. I had those photos in my hands and I was thinking, "I can shoot these down in trial, no sweat." Bankowski's DNA could have come from the scratches on his scalp or someplace the camera didn't catch. But I couldn't shake the idea of reasonable doubt, Pops. It was my first big case and I just lost my nerve for a split second. And I buried them. Just one stupid-ass move. ISAIAH PAGE Whoa, we were under a lot of pressure then. The city was out of control. And like I told you then, it didn't have to be neat, it just had to be right. Justice don't always play right when color's involved. ADAM PAGE But I didn't make the decision because it was about color, Dad. ISAIAH PAGE Every decision's about color, son. Did you put the guilty away? ADAM PAGE Yes, I know I did. That's why I'm angry. I had him. ISAIAH PAGE I was thinking in church today how we keep missing the point about Christ. The point isn't about being perfect. The point's about being human and making efforts to do what's right. Those are the people we want to lead us. The cost of being a great leader is knowing that you're not a great man and living with your mistakes every day. We all have 'em. I know I do. Don't doubt yourself now. What did Billie say about all this, huh? ADAM PAGE I never told her. JENNY BUTLER I don't understand. You promised me that this would be over. ADAM PAGE It will be, Jenny. It's just a formality. JENNY BUTLER This is never gonna end. REV CHEEKS I don't think you can do that in here, Jenny. ADAM PAGE It's okay. Jenny, listen to me. This motion is a smoke screen. They have nothing. JENNY BUTLER Then why are they doing it? ADAM PAGE Politics. JENNY BUTLER If they win? ADAM PAGE They won't. JENNY BUTLER They're not gonna execute a white guy, not for killing black people. REV CHEEKS Jenny, we're almost there. JENNY BUTLER I'm so tired. I feel sick. ADAM PAGE Jenny, 11 years ago, I made you a promise to see this through. I'm going to keep that promise. That's why I need you to speak out right now. JENNY BUTLER I've been living in a nightmare for the past 11 years ever since I saw my family murdered by Jared Bankowski and Terry Kucik. When I heard that a judge was thinking of reopening this case, it felt like they were being murdered all over again. And I have to ask if my family was white and the killers were black, would we still be having to plead for justice? And I beg the judge who's considering this request-- I beg you, please let my family rest in peace. Please let me have some peace. REV CHEEKS That's all for now. No more questions. ADAM PAGE I know you're angry and you have every right to be. All right, but you know what I'm so proud of? The fact that you came out here tonight to figure it out together without taking matters into your own hands. MAN 1 This wouldn't be happening if he were a black man on death row! MAN 2 Exactly! ADAM PAGE I hear you, brother. I do. But we are not here to divide. The Butlers were African-American, yes. But if they were white, Latino, Native American, we should still be here because an injustice against one people is an injustice against every people. ADAM PAGE Now, we have got to start thinking that way or else nothing is ever gonna change. So I want to hear from you. I do. But first let me say this. Now, many of you have known me for a long time. Yes? CROWD Yeah! ADAM PAGE Well, then you know I don't back down from any fight. I don't care who I'm up against. ADAM PAGE And I'm here to tell you tonight, this fight we are winning. ADAM PAGE Justice will not be denied Jenny Butler and her family. No, not as long as I am the district attorney of the city of Philadelphia. CHRISTINE ROSA Hi. Look, I don't want to bother you. You don't know me at all, but I just wanted to say I am so sorry that you're going through all this again. I'm really sorry. CHRISTINE ROSA I... I went through something similar. Not at all like you, but it doesn't matter what side of it you're on when you're a kid. You know, it stays with you forever. My father was convicted. He was innocent. I know because I was with him when they said he did what he did. But nobody believed me and I lost him. When you're a kid and you're sitting up there in front of all those people and everybody looking at you and listening to everything you have to say and you just feel like--. JENNY BUTLER You work for that Innocence place. CHRISTINE ROSA Yes. JENNY BUTLER You think I got it wrong? You think I identified the wrong men? CHRISTINE ROSA I don't know what happened. I'm just trying-- JENNY BUTLER You know, for years, I tried to figure out what was it in certain people that made them want to kill. Not just do it, but want to. It had to be a certain kind of person, I thought. But then I realized, no. It could be anybody. Absolutely anybody at all. And right now in this moment, I completely understand what it feels like to want to kill someone and feel nothing about it except satisfaction. Did they tell you you were wrong? CHRISTINE ROSA Hi, Dad. VICTOR ROSA Hey, kid. Didn't expect to see you today. CHRISTINE ROSA Just wanted to see you. VICTOR ROSA Something happen? You look tired, sweetie. CHRISTINE ROSA That's surprising. I spent the entire day at the spa. VICTOR ROSA CHRISTINE ROSA How are you? How's your bronchial thing? Did you get those homeopathic drops I sent? VICTOR ROSA No. They confiscated them. They thought you were sending me drugs. CHRISTINE ROSA I'll talk to them. VICTOR ROSA So, tell me what's going on. CHRISTINE ROSA Nothing. Everything's fine. I want to talk about you. What's going on? VICTOR ROSA Nothing new. Asthma's better. They gave me one of those inhalers. They changed the linens on the couch. Little less scratchy. Hey, did you get to section nine in the Nietzsche? I'm probably gonna get this wrong, but he says that in order for a man to become a hero, first he has to become a snake so he can know his enemy. Something like that. But it makes sense, right? Right? You know, a lot of the stuff that you sent me, I didn't think I was really gonna like...
