I didn't come back here today
because I'm courageous.
904
01:
31:45,506 -- 01:31:49,124I came back here because
I've been careless for a very long time,
905
01:
31:49,343 -- 01:31:51,549and I'm sick of that feeling.
906
01:
31:52,930 -- 01:31:56,879The simple fact, Your Honour,
is that I am responsible.
907
01:
31:58,268 -- 01:32:00,724And I'm also scared.
908
01:
32:02,439 -- 01:32:05,642But I am willing to do
whatever is necessary...
909
01:
32:07,903 -- 01:32:10,690in order for you
to spare my friend's life.
910
01:
32:16,620 -- 01:32:18,529How do you plead?
911
01:
32:18,747 -- 01:32:21,036I'm guilty.
912
01:
32:22,793 -- 01:32:27,087You will be detained in Penang Prison
to await sentence.
913
01:
33:01,582 -- 01:33:04,915He asked the prosecutor
if he will now reduce the charges.
914
01:
33:11,258 -- 01:33:13,583The prosecutor has agreed.
915
01:
33:30,235 -- 01:33:34,067Chief Justice will be back
shortly with his decision.
916
01:
33:54,635 -- 01:33:56,711Beth?
917
01:
33:58,180 -- 01:34:00,801We're back in session.
918
01:
34:01,016 -- 01:34:03,258- We're back?
- Yeah.
919
01:
34:30,045 -- 01:34:34,837The Deputy Home Minister is angered
about some international news story.
920
01:
34:35,050 -- 01:34:37,506I'm not sure what.
921
01:
34:44,476 -- 01:34:47,975iA story that was picked up
by the Asian International Tribune./i
922
01:
34:48,188 -- 01:34:52,850"In a country proud of its many species
of exotic butterflies,
923
01:
34:53,068 -- 01:34:55,773a butterfly is
about to be broken on a wheel. "
924
01:
34:56,697 -- 01:34:59,188"The wheel is Malaysian justice,
925
01:
34:59,408 -- 01:35:03,868a term which strikes one
American woman as a cruel joke."
926
01:
35:04,079 -- 01:35:06,866- Your Honour...
- "The woman is Beth McBride..."
927
01:
35:07,082 -- 01:35:09,869- I didn't do this.
- "... whose brother was arrested
928
01:
35:10,085 -- 01:35:12,623two years ago in Penang."
929
01:
35:12,838 -- 01:35:16,207"Blamed for having bought
hashish with two friends,
930
01:
35:16,425 -- 01:35:21,383this nature-loving young man now,
incredibly, faces death. "
931
01:
35:21,597 -- 01:35:25,345- She was determined to write the story.
- Silence!
932
01:
35:26,351 -- 01:35:30,301We know you westerners don't understand
our attitude toward drugs.
933
01:
35:30,522 -- 01:35:32,681But we don't understand yours.
934
01:
35:32,900 -- 01:35:37,478Your cities are decaying, the souls of
your young people are stolen from you.
935
01:
35:38,697 -- 01:35:43,193Our laws may seem harsh but our streets
remain safe and our youth is protected.
936
01:
35:43,410 -- 01:35:47,989So when an American journalist
criticises ourjudicial system...
937
01:
35:48,207 -- 01:35:52,833- Your Honour, I begged her not to.
- Silence!
938
01:
35:56,423 -- 01:35:58,416Lewis McBride...
939
01:
36:04,056 -- 01:36:05,965What is he saying?
940
01:
36:12,356 -- 01:36:13,933What is he saying?
941
01:
36:14,149 -- 01:36:19,191He will not amend the charge now.
Lewis must be hanged tomorrow.
942
01:
36:21,365 -- 01:36:24,484What? Lewis!
943
01:
36:24,701 -- 01:36:27,453Your Honour, I came back here.
You can't hang him!
944
01:
36:31,708 -- 01:36:37,295- You hang on, Lewis!
- Beth, I love you!
945
01:
36:37,506 -- 01:36:41,373Get your f***ing hands off me.
What is the matter with you people?
946
01:
36:41,593 -- 01:36:44,464What is the matter with you people?
947
01:
36:44,680 -- 01:36:47,716You are gonna go straight to hell,
you motherf***er!
948
01:
36:47,933 -- 01:36:50,887You lying son of a b*tch!
949
01:
36:51,103 -- 01:36:53,594Goddamn it! Sheriff!
950
01:
38:29,952 -- 01:38:32,703I don't wanna die! No!
951
01:
38:32,913 -- 01:38:34,989You f***ing bastards!
952
01:
38:39,002 -- 01:38:43,498I don't wanna die! Help!
953
01:
38:43,715 -- 01:38:46,586Lewis. Lewis!
954
01:
38:46,802 -- 01:38:49,257Lewis!
955
01:
38:49,471 -- 01:38:52,389Please let go of me!
956
01:
38:58,939 -- 01:39:01,975You f***ing bastards!
957
01:
39:25,007 -- 01:39:27,130No! No!
958
01:
39:36,685 -- 01:39:39,057Lew! Lewis!
959
01:
39:44,735 -- 01:39:48,068Lewis!
960
01:
39:48,280 -- 01:39:51,530Lewis! Lewis, goddamn it! Look up here!
961
01:
39:51,742 -- 01:39:54,908- Sheriff!
- I'm here, Lewis!
962
01:
39:55,120 -- 01:39:57,196I'm right here!
963
01:
39:57,414 -- 01:39:59,241You're not alone, Lewis!
964
01:
40:03,754 -- 01:40:06,161Look at me, Lewis!
965
01:
40:06,381 -- 01:40:09,548You're not alone, Lewis.
Look at me. You're not alone.
966
01:
40:09,760 -- 01:40:12,796I'm here. Look at me. See me, Lewis.
967
01:
40:13,013 -- 01:40:16,382You're not alone. I'm right here.
968
01:
40:16,600 -- 01:40:19,056I'm right here, Lewis.
969
01:
40:19,269 -- 01:40:21,725I see you, Lewis. I'm right here.
970
01:
40:21,939 -- 01:40:24,893Lewis, you are not alone right now.
I'm right here.
971
01:
40:25,108 -- 01:40:27,860You are not alone, Lewis. I see you.
972
01:
40:28,070 -- 01:40:30,608I see you, Lewis. I'm here.
You're not alone.
973
01:
40:31,573 -- 01:40:34,147You are not alone, Lewis!
974
01:
41:19,997 -- 01:41:22,155Right. OK.
975
01:
41:33,510 -- 01:41:36,048Where am I going here?
976
01:
42:24,686 -- 01:42:26,264Beth.
977
01:
42:37,157 -- 01:42:39,613- Were you there?
- Yeah.
978
01:
42:41,453 -- 01:42:43,778He wasn't afraid, Beth.
979
01:
42:46,166 -- 01:42:48,491He walked right past me.
980
01:
42:48,710 -- 01:42:53,372And then I saw him go past
all the guards and he was calm.
981
01:
42:53,590 -- 01:42:58,833Come on, Sheriff. Tell me the truth.
982
01:
42:59,054 -- 01:43:02,553It was hard. It was hard. But, uh...
983
01:
43:04,226 -- 01:43:06,717You know, I think that, uh...
984
01:
43:08,438 -- 01:43:12,650he found, at the end, Beth,
at the end...
985
01:
43:15,654 -- 01:43:18,359I mean, he was Lewis, you know?
986
01:
43:19,741 -- 01:43:22,446At that last second,
987
01:
43:22,661 -- 01:43:25,662I swear to God,
988
01:
43:25,873 -- 01:43:28,114he was at peace with everything.
989
01:
43:29,376 -- 01:43:31,499He was.
990
01:
43:35,841 -- 01:43:39,044I just wish I could have done something.
991
01:
43:39,261 -- 01:43:43,638If I could have been there
to do something. Fight harder.
992
01:
43:43,849 -- 01:43:47,300You did everything you could.
Nobody could have done more.
993
01:
43:47,519 -- 01:43:50,722You've gotta believe that.
Nobody did more than you did.
994
01:
43:52,441 -- 01:43:54,647Nobody could have done more.
995
01:
43:54,860 -- 01:43:58,478- You did everything you could.
- You should have gone back with Tony.
996
01:
43:58,697 -- 01:44:00,737Why didn't you go back with Tony?
997
01:
44:02,451 -- 01:44:05,120I couldn't go back with Tony.
998
01:
44:07,122 -- 01:44:12,579I couldn't go back because
I knew that you were waiting for me.
