John Doe: Vigilante Page #7

Anyway, um...

Sally has something she'd like to say to you.

It's OK, Sally.

Was it really you?

Come on.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Must have been excruciating for him.

I think part of him wanted to... embrace

her, wanted to connect with her.

But, in order to do that, to

let the wall down, well...

I think it could have destroyed him.

See, I see Sally as John Doe's redemption.

It seems obvious that he saw her as...

the daughter that he couldn't save, the

daughter he wanted to protect... but couldn't.

And for Sally, well... for any child,

for that matter... it's very simple.

He wants to hurt me, therefore he is a bad man.

That man stopped the bad man from

hurting me, therefore he is a good man.

Simple, black and white.

We spent what, two grand, flying them up here?

All we end up with is a shot of

him staring at his f***ing cup.

Don't you feel anything?

You said, earlier, that for you... what

you did was all about the victims.

But when it's all said and done, you

don't seem to care about them at all.

Do you care about little Sally?

It's not about the victims, is it, John?

What is it about?

Are the critics right...

when they say that the real

reason you committed those crimes

is because you actually enjoyed doing it?

Are they right, John?

Did you enjoy killing all those people?

You did enjoy it, didn't you?

You took pleasure in it.

You must have.

Now, listen, you...

I did you a favor.

I did what needed doing.

There are so many of them out there,

and some of them never get caught.

They just keep going... again and again and again.

Then it must make you feel impotent, John...

being locked in here knowing

that there are rapists

and murderers and pedophiles roaming the streets,

and now there is nothing you can do about it.

Don't you worry. Their time will come.

Really? How so?

Because it's out there now.

The public, they understand that

these people must be stopped.

They get that the system that we call justice...

is polluting humanity with its shades of gray.

It's time to get up off the couch.

It's time to turn off the television!

It's time to stand up... and scream!

It's not working! It's wrong!

We all have to do something.

We all have to take responsibility.

We have to make a difference.

We have to stand up for each other.

We have to protect each other.

I'm not f***ing John Doe. We all are.

You are.

You have to make them stop,

and think... before they rape...

before they maim, before they

kill, before they destroy lives!

They have to believe...

that someone is watching.

They have to know that someone, out

there, is prepared to do anything...

is prepared to do whatever it takes.

I've delivered the message.

Now it's up to you.

What are you doing?

What is that?

He's got something in his mouth.

There's something in his mouth.

There's something in his mouth.

Jesus!

Get over here and hold his f***ing arms down!

- What?

- Come on!

Hey! Send somebody in here!

Send somebody in here!

This is why I chose you.

As further startling information comes to hand

regarding Ken Rutherford's secret, sordid life,

it is now obvious that he was always

a part of John Doe's master plan.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

have you reached a verdict?

Yes, we have, your honor.

Would the defendant please rise?

On the 33 counts of murder, how do you find?

We are now in a position to announce...

that after many months of

trial and jury deliberation...

we finally have our verdict.

All I have left...

All I have left is... the hope...

that there is more to this world...

this life that we know...

and that one day, somewhere else, someplace else.

One day, I'll be able to hold her again...

and look into... her beautiful eyes...

and tell her how much I love her.

Do you know me?

I'm John Doe.
