John Doe: Vigilante Page #3

something so precious from you

that you would smash his head in?

You could say that the dead that I act for

never got a chance to find out what they would do.

I'm speaking today with Murray Wills...

the leader of a group that calls themselves

"Speak for the Dead."

So, Murray, why exactly are we here today?

We, uh, we want to let as

many people as we can know

that we'll be holding a rally next week...

a march on Parliament House to

show our support for John Doe.

A rally?

What exactly are you hoping

to achieve with this rally?

We just want to let John know that he has support

and he has allies, if he needs them.

So what do you think that you

can do to help John Doe?

What could you do for him?

Whatever he wants.

Whatever he needs.

Are you saying that you might

be prepared to kill for him?

I never said that.

Well, there you go, folks,

a potentially explosive situation...

F***ing kick him.

Kick him again! Kick him.

Yeah!

Don't you.

Huh? C*nt!

Is that all you got? Come here.

F***ing hit him.

Don't f***ing come back!

You f***ing do that again, I'll kill you!

- Henry.

- Jesse.

Guys, how does it feel getting away with murder?

The court says I'm innocent,

so I'm going home, fellas.

You killed my son!

You murdering bastards!

You killed my son!

That's right, boys. Serve and protect.

Serve and protect.

Excuse me. Coming through.

Piss off. It's been a long day.

His name was Gary, you prick!

You f***ing a**hole.

- Any comments?

- What do you have to say?

Yes, I'd just like to thank

my QC, Andrew Beaumont.

Did a sterling job.

Any comments, Mr. Mills?

- Mr. Mills?

- Mr. Mills, anything to say?

- You look at me.

- What have you got to say?

He killed my son.

Just before 9:
00 AM this morning,

in the foyer of a crowded city building,

the faceless killer, John Doe, struck again.

This time using what appeared to be

a homemade cyanide patch to claim Jesse Sutton,

his 20th victim.

Hey, sweetheart,

- you ever been f***ed by a real man?

- Settle down, dude.

What the f*** did you say?

Sorry, man. Sorry.

P*ssy.

After you, sweet cheeks.

Call me, sweet arse.

Or text me.

What the f***?

Or text me.

What the f***?

He knows where every camera is...

what angle they're set at...

which ones rotate and which ones are still.

What looks like a random kill in a crowd...

is actually a meticulously planned operation.

He must have rehearsed every step.

Knowing that...

that he would have rehearsed it, did

anyone go back and look at earlier footage?

Yes, we reviewed the tapes.

- And what did you find?

- Nothing.

He was a ghost.

It wouldn't have surprised us

if he had military training...

special ops or... black ops even.

Yeah, black ops would've been perfect.

Yeah, but he wasn't a black op, was he?

No.

The punishment no longer fits the crime.

Terrible... horrible...

unforgivable things are

happening each and every day.

It's not supposed to be like that.

We're supposed to respect human life,

honor it, protect it.

But you killed.

Yes, I did.

Well, how do you justify that?

- Justification?

- Yes.

Well, justification's relative.

How do you mean?

OK, let's go back to the car park.

Humor me.

Only, this time you have a gun, and I'm with you.

A man with an ax bursts from the shadows,

raises the ax, ready to bury it in my head.

He starts to swing, and you shoot him.

Justifiable homicide, right?

Well, what if he kills me

before you can shoot him.

Then he turns on you, ax raised, and bang!

You shoot him dead.

Justifiable homicide still, right?

So when does it become murder?

How long after he kills me...

five seconds, ten seconds,

a week, a month?

Alright, you're implying

once the threat has gone.

Clever boy.

That's exactly the point.

Each one of them was a repeat

offender planning to offend again.

The threat they posed was never gone...

until they were gone.

That's an odd way to try and change the world.

The world's a better place now.

So you're saying none of these

people, none of your victims,

had anything positive to contribute to society?

No.

I'm standing today, just outside Parliament House,

where members of the Speak for the Dead movement

are publicly showing their support for John Doe.

As you can see behind me, it has drawn much

support, from both sides of the argument.

John Doe! John Doe!

You all know why we're here today...

to show our support for John Doe.

We all know who John Doe

is and what John Doe does.

But let's get to what's really important. Let's

go beyond that. What happens after John Doe?

He's left us with a choice.

Stay asleep or wake up.

- Wake up!

- Wake up!

This South Australian father, yeah.

A father...

pimped his 10-year-old daughter out,

to over 200 men, at 50 bucks a hit.

- Bastard.

- Hang him.

20 bucks extra for no condom.

This...

this poor girl has every sexually

transmitted disease you can get.

- You know what he got?

- What?

Maximum of ten years jail.

- What kind of justice is that?

- He'll be out in five.

Who here thinks that's right?

No!

Who here thinks that's fair?

- No!

- Who here thinks our-our justice system

got that one right?

No!

- Jeffrey Wilson...

- F***ing joke!

47-year-old...

found guilty of sexual assault on 3

girls under 12 in 4 separate trials.

He raped... and sexually assaulted these

girls over a period of two years.

- Animal!

- Burn him!

Two years!

But get this... before the trials, he had 95

prior convictions... mostly sex offenses.

Jeffrey Wilson is a free man.

He could be here... right now,

amongst us, today.

Are you out there, Jeffrey?

Huh?

Look at the man next to you.

Is it Wilson?

95 prior convictions, allowed to... stroll free.

Look after your kids, people...

because there are hundreds, if not

thousands, of cases like this every year.

- And who's fault is it? Th-th-the government?

- Yes!

- The pigs?

- Yes!

- The criminals?

- Yes!

No, no, no...

No!

It's our fault, every single one of us here!

It's your fault, your fault, your fault...

'cause we've stood by, and we've watched

our-our society, our community...

our way of life be degraded...

be eaten away piece by piece.

We've been...we've been obedient little citizens...

standing in the corner with our mouths

shut, biting our bloody tongues!

- Yeah!

- That's not the answer!

That's right. It's not the answer.

I say it's time to push back.

- Yeah!

- How's that for an answer?

I say it's time we make a stand!

- Yeah! Yes!

- How's that for an answer?

I say it's time we band together...

and demand a change!

- Yeah!

- How's that for a f***ing answer?

- What do you say?

- Yes!

- What do you say?

- Yes!

- What do you say?

- Yes!

Minister, Minister, just a minute of your time.

I've told you the same thing every day

for months, Murray. My hands are tied.

- There's nothing I can do.

- But hold on.

You do work for the people, don't you?

'Cause there's hundreds, if not thousands, of
