sometime if you'd be interested

rachel i hope you can see that i want to

be your friend

i'm willing to make the effort if you'll

work with me

granny has anybody ever escaped

that ain't so smart well i wasn't

thinking about doing i was just curious

i hit the fence back in 59.

i almost made it too no

wrong yeah turn

faster

she wouldn't be here now if it wasn't

for a worthless husband

they hit a jewelry store oh it's a

classy job

all this paperwork his new reform

regulations have turned me into a clerk

rita's dead

i'll need your jane hancock on her death

certificate

suicide by him

your theories your

theories break them

down turn them into infants raise them

like our

oh no god how could i

i wanted rehabilitation to be something

more than a

catch phrase to ensure once they left

here they wouldn't be

back and now after three failures

yes failures we can add murder to our

list of achievements

if there were an investigation

investigation yes

but i'm sure there won't be these things

happen

even in the best of prisons

your signature

nearly 50 of all traffic fatalities are

alcohol related that's a staggering

figure of 26 000

deaths a year and that's only traffic

deaths

alcohol kills in many other ways too

alcoholism has been defined as a chronic

aggressive incurable

and fatal illness

[Music]

it is a chronic illness because once you

have it

you have it forever it is progressive

because until it is arrested it

continues to get worse

it has also been demonstrated that

alcoholism is incurable

hi baby however it can be arrested

and many recovered alcoholics continue

to live happy

normal lives and finally

unless caught and arrested in time

alcoholism

is fatal

[Music]

a person who has managed to arrest

alcoholism is still

an alcoholic a recovered

alcoholic remember what we said earlier

alcoholism is an incurable but a

restaurable

illness

[Music]

fortunately for today's alcoholic there

are many avenues available for help

alcoholics however

good morning orton

don't know why but this morning i feel

good all

good over rachel

all they need is your signature for the

medical certainly

you've signed thousands just like it get

on with it already

don't rush me warden this is a very

special case

and we want everything to go exactly

right don't we

why is she looking at me like that

my guess is that she's thinking how much

she's going to miss you

this is one last game you're playing i

don't appreciate it

hi aren't you a

trifle testy this morning

you know our little girl really was hurt

cried herself to sleep

and now she's beginning to have doubts

about your feelings toward her

now what's that supposed to mean

you know you really shouldn't take that

tone with me warden

you always have and i've never liked it

i have the feeling that you don't like

me and if i'm not mistaken

sarah has that same idea you see she's

very

impressionable and i think now that

she thinks you don't love her anymore

[Music]

sarah she doesn't love you anymore

[Music]

put the pistol down rachel

in case you hadn't noticed she responds

only to me

sarah

[Music]

the boy confessed you're innocent

sarah she doesn't love you anymore

sarah she doesn't love you anymore

she doesn't love you anymore you're

innocent rachel
