The Confession (2011) s01e06 Episode Script
Chapter 6
You muder innocent people.
None of the people I killed were innocent.
You can't stop you won't stop.
Get behind your desk, now.
Sometimes we do things we thought we never could.
Go to your room, Timmy, NOW! What are you going to do? - That, depends on you.
The Confession 1x06 "Chapter 6" You love your son, don't you? Of course I do.
You'd do anything for him? Yes.
Would you die for him? Yes.
Even though, if I kill you? I can't have any witnesses.
Please.
My wife and family have nothing to do with this.
Prove to me that you love them.
What? Show me that you would die for them.
You know that, doing this.
How do I know you'll keep your word? You don't.
You have to trust me.
But I can promise you that the alternative is an absolute certainty.
You were gone before I got here.
I want you to go upstairs and pack and take you and your family as far away as you can.
You'll never come back here again.
You understand me? DO, you understand me? Yes.
You let him live.
I told you, sometimes we do things we never thought we could.
Why did you put him through all that? Why not just let him live? Because I needed to know he was willing to die to protect his family.
Why is that important to you? I don't know.
Of course, you do.
You broke your own rule.
You allowed a witness to live who could have identified you.
There has to be a good reason for that? You were all set to kill him.
It was the boy, wasn't it.
You didn't want to take his father away from him.
Did you loose you father? My father was a son of a bitch.
He hurt you? - Yes.
He left you? Yes.
And, you didn't want that boy to suffer the same sense of lose that you did.
I already told you.
I have to feel they deserve to die in order to kill.
My employer want him dead for personal reasons as far as I'm concerned that could mean anything.
It doesn't take a lot for some the people I work for to want someone dead.
They painted him out to be a monster.
When I met him, he was just a normal man.
A normal man who is willing to die to protect his family.
Didn't seem fair to take that away from him for nothing.
So, you are capable of compassion.
If you're trying to reach me, don't bother.
I let him live because I thought he deserved to.
It could have just as easily gone the other way.
But, it didn't.
You chose to let him go.
And, you will be faced with the same choice, tonight.
Different man.
Different circumstances.
If you're not open to the possibility of change, then I really don't see the purpose of our talking.
Do you really think a few words in here are going to change me? It's taken me a lifetime to become what I am.
The very fact that you're here, proves that you don't like what you've become.
Wasn't it you who said if I stopped I be nothing.
I said you think, if you stop, you'll be nothing.
That's a considerable difference.
It takes a great deal more strength to be good than evil.
Why? Because evil is in our nature.
Ah, now we finally agree on something.
We call ouselves humans, but the truth is we're animals that speak.
The only reason we're good is because we fear the consequences of being bad.
Remove the consequences and this world spirals into chaos.
I said, evil is in our nature.
It's called, original sin.
Good is also in our nature, but we have to strive for it.
Now, what you are preparing to do tonight is unquestionably a choice.
Not for me it is.
None of the people I killed were innocent.
You can't stop you won't stop.
