- I was supposed to die
this Thursday,

the last execution
of the millennium.

But the governor heard
that I'm pregnant,

and an hour ago,
he issued a temporary stay.

- Well, knowing Devlin,

he's, uh, just trying
to sort through

the political ramifications
of putting to death a woman

who got pregnant
while in prison.

You--you do know
who the father is?

- Why, yes. Of course.

- But you won't tell?

- No.

- The list is easy
to pare down.

- The father doesn't matter.

I want you
to go to the governor

and tell him to go forward
with the execution.

- Y-you want to die?

- I have to die.

- Why?

- I did k*ll my first born.

Oh, I've said it.

Some things aren't real
till you say them out loud.

- I know.

- My daughter,
my precious.

When she was born,
she was a joy,

but bit by bit, I began to see
that there was something

not quite right
about her,

something
not quite human...

Otherworldly.

I'd go into her room

and above the bassinet,
there'd be flashes of fire.

- Fire?

- Or she'd speak
in tongues.

One day, she even made
a plate levitate.

That's when I began to see

she was possessed
of the Devil.

- Did you, um,

ever talk to anyone
about this?

- Who could I tell?

My mother?

The child's father,
that lying bastard?

- Uh, well, your minister,

pediatrician.

- They would have thought
I was crazy.

No, I knew the only way
was to k*ll her myself.

But every time I went to strike,
I didn't see the devil.

I only saw my daughter's
sweet face.

So I put her in the car

and drove into the lake

and let her drown,

half hoping, half expecting
to see her rise up

out of the water
on Lucifer's back.

- Hmm.

All right.

I'll see what I can do.

Oh, God bless you.

- In three hours,
I'm hosting a party

at the mansion
for close to 400 people.

Now, what's all this
about Shirley Bellinger?

- She wants to
be ex*cuted.

- Well, good.

That solves
all my problems.

A little something
extra under the tree.

- Excuse me, Governor,
but there's one hitch.

She's insane.

- She drowned her daughter.
We knew that.

- The woman does not belong
on death row.

She should be in
the state asylum.

- But if she wants to die,

who are we to stand in her way?

- Governor, she is not fit
to make that decision.

She is certifiable
and she is pregnant,

and if you execute her,
you will be committing m*rder.

Two murders.

- Transfer Bellinger.

And, Warden,

I want you to end
this lockdown.

- We don't have the situation
under control.

- It's Christmas and I'm
getting heat from the clergy,

including the Cardinal,
who will be at my party tonight.

Let the inmates out!

And so, in the spirit of
this blessed holiday season,

I commute Shirley Bellinger's
sentence to life imprisonment

without the possibility
of parole.

This action in no way affects
my long-standing support

for the death penalty.

- You betrayed me.

- I protected you,
and your baby.

you all won't give me one,

I will k*ll this monster
inside me myself.

about this Y2K problem.

Come 2000, computers are gonna
have a nervous breakdown.

Planes'll fall from the sky,
the water supply'll dry up

and the Pentagon'll start
sh**ting nuclear warheads

at Canada.

Some predict that prison doors
will automatically spring open.

Well, I got the solution...

A do-over.

At the stroke of midnight,

it's 1900 again

and we get to do the whole
f*cking century over,

I mean, 'cause, you know,
let's face it,

we didn't do such a hot job the
first time around.

- New year's Eve.

- Can you smell that?

- What?

- Hatred.

There's hatred
in the air.

- It's just an ordinary
day in Oz.

- No, my friend,
this is much worse.

Look.

Adebisi's sitting
with Arif.

And all those white faces

just clumped together.

I'm very afraid of
what might happen.

- Then do something
about it.

- I can't.

Three years ago,

I made the riot happen

and all those deaths.

I can accept my guilt
in that,

now, finally.

But this...

I don't want
any part of this.
