The Spearhead Effect Page #7

---

[Jake] Where are the keys at?

Got to get him

ready back there.

[shushing]

[Evan] If one of you

pleads not guilty,

while the other pleads guilty,

the innocent party

will receive nothing,

while the guilty party

will receive

seventy five milliamps

of shock.

This is where breathing

becomes labored,

sometimes ceasing entirely.

If both of you

plead not guilty,

you will both receive

100 milliamps of shock,

where of course, ventricular

fibrillation of the heart occurs.

Clearly, it would behoove you

to work together on this one.

Guilty or not guilty.

- [man 1] Not guilty.

- [man 2] You motherf***er!

[Evan] Not guilty.

- You f***ing idiot.

- This is all on you.

You did it.

This is on you.

This is all your fault.

It would've never happened

if you didn't make me do this.

This is all you...

[instrument buzzing]

[Evan] The instrument.

What the f***

is that thing?

Cattle prod?

[Evan] We went over this.

It's a picana. It's intended

for human subjects.

Please.

[grunts]

What the f*** is wrong

with you people!

Stop it. Stop it.

[screams]

Stop it. Stop it.

Did you get the key?

No.

I've done this before.

Now is not the time.

Shut up.

They're gonna smell that.

Of a burning flesh?

[screams in distance]

These are party tricks.

[coughs]

[clears throat]

Who the f*** is this guy?

I don't know.

Okay.

F***.

I can do this. I can do this.

[grunts]

F***.

[Evan speaking indistinctly]

Let's bring out number three.

F***.

[man] What the f***

are you doing back here?

You're smoking

through the mask?

- [Jake] F*** off.

- Whatever.

[chain clanging]

[prisoner grunts]

Okay.

[Evan] Our friend here,

- is a serial rapist.

- F***.

Physically damaging

enough of course,

but he wasn't content

to leave his victims with the trauma

that his actions precipitated.

No.

Perhaps you thought

it's something merciful,

not wanting your victims

to live with the memory,

you thought it's best to end

this suffering and their life.

Sh*t.

[indistinct chatter]

Come on.

My God!

Holy sh*t!

Let's go. Come on.

[grunts] Ah!

Come on.

Walk with me.

[both panting]

[man] What the f***

are you talking about?

What did he just say?

Forget it.

Got to go. Come on.

[Evan] You drowned them.

You left their bodies

swollen and exposed,

for their families to find.

How does it feel for you

to be exposed?

How does it feel

for you to be faced

with what you try to avoid?

You don't know

what you're saying.

Okay, I never

killed those women!

[Evan] Right. Gentlemen!

[man] No!

You weren't gonna tell me?

I didn't know.

Until the night...

I got this guy.

He was abducting a girl,

went back to his place,

and I found an archive.

And?

Pictures.

Videos too.

Past victims.

My mother.

Did you see my mother?

Go.

Get the police.

What are you gonna do?

I need to see this.

[man] No, please!

Stop, I have a family,

please. I have a daughter!

Please, stop!

Let me go!

I mean that,

I swear to God...

[indistinct screams]

[Evan] What we believe,

is that the punishment,

should fit the crime.

Penetration,

with penetration.

[instrumental music playing]

Sorry, I can't. I can't.

It's too much.

Anyone else?

Anyone?

Who's gonna forge a new pair?

Who's gonna be...

Good.

[screams]

[whimpering]

[screams]

[screams]

[grunts]

[heavy breathing]

[Evan] Take off your mask.

I said, take off

your mask, Jake.

Take it off!

Now look into the camera,

say your name.

Jake Stetson.

[Evan] Say, "My name

is Jake Stetson.

I did what I did, because..."

My name is Jake Stetson.

I did what I did...

I did what I did

to this man

because of what

he did to my mother.

Because this man raped

and murdered my mother.

Is that what you want?

I came here to help you.

Is any of it real?

What's the point?

Extreme message

yields extreme results.

No, no.

No, you can't do this!

You can't f***ing do this!

[screaming]

No!

I want you to beg

for your [bleep] life.

Because you deserve to die

for what you did!

[screams]

I did what I did

to this man

because of what

he did to my mother.

Because this man raped

and murdered my mother.

Wow, that was truly

disturbing.

- Sick, very sick.

- Now, Carole,

you've been following

the Pioneer movement

since the beginning,

is this violent murderous

manifesto possibly the end?

It's difficult to say now,

on one hand, the Pioneer groups

have fallen largely quiet,

still I think there's something

we're not seeing here.

We have seen enough, Carole.

We have seen enough.

- Everyone has.

- [Shelby] We all know you have seen enough.

There's a reason public opinion

has already shifted

wildly back into the favor

of the police.

I don't think it's fair to discount the

entire movement based on that one...

He took the flawed idea to the logical

extreme and that's what it took

for people to recognize what

this movement truly was.

I'm not saying he wasn't

motivated by grief or...

He brutally killed

the wrong man.

The man was incarcerated when

Stetson's mother was killed.

Now yes, he was

a convicted criminal,

but this is beyond anything

that we've seen.

But this is so out of character.

We're not defending Stetson.

This is what I

warned you about

when he was a guest

on your show last.

I didn't know you

warned me about him.

All right, let's go back

to the video.

...but it's preferable

to anarchy, Miss Stone.

Let's go back to...

There we go, right there.

[Ramsey] Okay. Well, look

at the ceremonial aspect.

It's methodical.

Now, this doesn't suggest

the voice of the cause.

This suggests a man

who took sick pleasure

in wrongly

administered justice.

Well, there has been no sign of Stetson since

he posted this video online or otherwise.

[Ramsey] Well, of course not.

He's in hiding

and I would do too

if I were him.

I don't think he's in hiding. Carole,

do you think he's in hiding?

I don't understand why would he post a

video that would force him underground?

- Exactly.

- [Ramsey] Carole, because he's deranged.

The whole movement

is deranged

and this finally proves it.

No, I'm not

defending his actions

I am simply

questioning his motives.

[Ramsey] ...undermines the very

fabric of American justice,

and Carole, you

should be ashamed,

you know this needs principles.

Carole, you said before

that there might be something

we're not seeing here. Are you

implying some kind of manipulation?

[Carole] Yes. Jake Stetson has

been a polarizing public figure.

- [Ramsey] Don't be vague.

- There are absolutely those benefits

- It sounds like she has a crush on Jake Stetson.

- From discrediting...

[Ramsey] Who, who exactly is the

mastermind of your conspiracy?

[Carole] I never said

there was a conspiracy,

I'm simply staying open

to the possibility

that we are not seeing

the whole story.

- [Shelby] I agree.

- It's easy to jump to conclusion.

Things are not always as

obvious as they appear to be.

[Ramsey] Oh, it's pretty
