John Doe: Vigilante Page #6

It's up to you now, Adam.

Only you can save yourself.

So...

where did you get the hair?

Look...

I-m... I'm pretty messed up.

I'm into some some weird sh*t, you know?

Um, I bought those off a...

a guy I met in... in jail.

Right, a guy you met in jail?

What guy?

Well, um...

Uh, J-Jimmy.

Uhh... Jimmy, Jimmy Harris.

- Oh, Jimmy Harris, your old cellmate?

- Yeah, he's a...

Hang on. How...

- Go on.

- Well... I got them off him.

And where did he get them?

I don't know. I got no f***ing idea.

I mean, what does it matter?

F***!

- "What does it matter?"

- F***!

Did you really just f***ing say that?

- F***.

- Look at them.

No.

- Alright.

- Look at them.

Look at them!

I count six,

six girls!

Six girls that you did f*** knows what to?!

What did you do to them?

Nothing.

I swear to God, it wasn't me.

We shouldn't be watching this.

Bullshit, man. This is f***ing mad.

It's wrong. They should turn it off.

Look, mate, if you don't want to watch it,

then f*** off home.

Yeah, f*** off, mate.

Why did you let him walk all over you?

Maybe we should go.

John Doe and Adam McCleish was

the most watched podcast,

broadcast, whatever you want to call

it, in the history of the world.

Within minutes of it finishing, it was

copied and plastered all over the Internet.

It has been downloaded and watched

millions, maybe even billions, of times.

F*** you!

F*** you.

You can't prove anything.

If you kill me, you're just a f***ing murderer.

- Really?

- Yeah, f***ing really.

So you think you know who I am?

Man, you're a broken record.

F***.

F***. F***.

F***!

F***.

Open your f***ing eyes!

Look at them!

Look at them!

Look what you destroyed.

There's Chloe. Well, y-you know Chloe, right?

You get that?

You look at them!

And that there, that...

that's Mary.

Hi, honey.

She was a nurse.

Yeah, she used to care for people

who couldn't look after themselves.

Oh, you know who that is, right?

Look at them.

Look, Adam.

This is a couple of weeks before

you walked into our lives.

Look how happy we are, man. You see that?

You see how happy we are?

I thought he would just kill him, right then.

You know, bang, just bullet in the head.

I had no idea what was coming next.

But then, with John Doe, we never really did.

Do any of these belong to my daughter?

No.

- Don't lie to me.

- I promise. I s... I swear,

n-none of them are hers.

You have five minutes...

five minutes to convince me not to kill you.

What?

You know, I thought long and hard about

what to do with people like you.

Should it be an eye for an eye...

old-style justice?

I thought maybe that I would take the

wives or the children of the killers.

You know, I take your father, you take my

mother, that kind of thing, but it just...

didn't sit right with me.

And then I thought, "What if... what

if I cripple someone, as payback...

make them suffer for years and years?"

But then, of course, the taxpayer

would end up footing the bill.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep

scumbags like you alive and comfortable.

Look at this.

I buy these in bulk.

Yeah.

50 cents apiece.

You do the math.

But you know what?

I'm done with the killing.

Yeah.

- You're the last.

- No.

But... if you can convince me...

to let you live...

you will live.

But your time's running out.

- Are you for real?

- What have you got to lose?

OK, um...

Look... I was a good kid, yeah?

- Right.

- Um...

I mixed with some bad... bad

kids, in high school, and

I got mixed up in drugs, and, you know, next...

before I know it... I was in

prison for stealing a car.

I didn't f***ing steal it.

F***ing cops.

- "F***ing cops"?

- Yeah.

- The f***ing cops?

- Yeah.

They railroaded me and put me in jail.

And...

bad things happened... to me in there...

real, real bad things.

I mean, I was just a kid.

- I was just a... bloody, stupid kid.

- Yeah.

I mean, how-how's a kid supposed to...

deal with that sh*t?

They...they taught me how to...

how to steal...

how to pick locks, how to hurt people...

how to get girls.

I...

I can't help myself.

But you like it?

I need it.

But you like it, right?

The little girls... they get scared.

They look at you with their big eyes...

pleading...

asking to go home, to their mummies and daddies.

- Made you feel strong, didn't it?

- Yeah.

Made you feel good.

It's OK. Say it. Say it.

It's alright. It's alright.

Yes. Yes.

Smell that.

It's OK.

Oh, please. No, it's not my fault!

- It's not my fault!

- Whose f***ing fault was it, Adam?!

Why did you kill my daughter?!

- Why?!

- I don't know. I don't know.

I saw them at the shopping center, and I

followed them home 'cause I wanted her.

She was 9 years old!

Look, please forgive me. I killed them.

I killed them all, alright?

- Please.

- She was 9 years old.

And Mary...

you've taken her, too, mate, you know.

They're both gone.

You destroyed Mary.

You killed us all.

- I'm sorry.

- You killed us all.

Please, forgive me, please.

Please.

Please?

I'm so sorry.

I do forgive you, Adam.

I forgive you.

I forgive you.

I forgive you.

I could forgive you, Adam.

Problem is...

I don't believe a f***ing word you just said.

Yeah, your stories... they don't work on me.

Bullshit, Adam. I know the truth.

I know you...

Well, look at me.

F*** you.

I went to prison.

I did my time. I paid my debt.

Paid your debt?

Oh, no, not yet, you haven't.

Yes, I f***ing have.

And I remember her...

Your little princess... with the beautiful eyes.

I saw the light go out.

Oh... I can still smell her. She smelled so sweet.

She was one of my favorites.

Ooh, she had the tight...

Oh, yeah.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

F***ing hell.

Who can blame him?

Now! Drop the weapon! Drop the weapon!

Drop it now!

John, listen to me. Drop that weapon, now!

Drop the weapon!

Put it down! Put it down now!

Early this morning, Australian vigilante serial

killer, John Doe, surrendered to police.

He was taken into custody and

charged with 33 counts of murder.

His final murder was broadcast

live over the Internet.

The entire world will watch

this trial with great interest.

You offered Adam McCleish forgiveness.

Yes, I did.

- Did you mean it?

- No.

Then why say it?

Because I wanted him to

think it was a possibility...

especially at the end.

I wanted him to believe he had a chance

of making it out of that room alive.

I wanted him to suffer.

I wanted him to feel the pain

that only hope can bring.

Is it in you to forgive?

Of course.

Not many people would believe that.

I forgave hundreds of people...

those that stopped...

those that showed real, true remorse.

Living with what they had done was

punishment enough. I left them off my list.

Do you think you can be forgiven?

Hi, Sally. I'm Ken.

We spoke on the phone.

I want to thank you for what you did...

for Sally, here.

She was too afraid to tell us what was happening.

She didn't know what to do... or who to tell.

God only knows what would have happened to her.
