Eastman

Why do you have a cell 
in your cabin? 


Eastman :
Built this place with my wife a while 
before our daughter was born. 
It didn't have a cell back then. 
That was just the other 
side of the living room. 

In my job I interviewed 
over 800 men and 25 women 
convicted of awful things. 

Stuff from the darkest part 
of the human soul. 

I was evaluating 
a man by the name of 
Crighton Dallas Wilton. 
(chuckles)
Name like that, sounded like 
he should own an oil company 
and wear a big hat-- 
Crighton Dallas Wilton. 

Despite doing some 
truly unspeakable acts, 
he was up for parole. 
And he was one of the most damn 
likable people I had ever met. 

He said all the right things
he went to therapy
He wrote letters to the prison board
 to start a program to grow flowers 
for the waiting rooms 
in state hospitals, rest homes. 
And I saw right through him. 
Saw that he was 
true psychopath, that 
he knew how to play people, 
exactly how to play people. 

I was interviewing him 
next to the cafeteria. 
The place smelled of industrial pizza. 
They were polishing the floor. 
I had to shout my questions half the time. 

And there was this moment
Can't even remember the exchange --
But right then I knew 
that Crighton knew that 
I knew exactly 
What He Was —

Everything he had said, 
done to hide away 
what he was from everyone
from himself, just slipped away
and... and that model prisoner 
of 10 years stood up, smiled, and 
just cracked me across the face. 
His fist felt like a rock
Then he was on top of me 
and the floor polisher next door 
was thudding out every sound. 

And I-- and 
I saw his face, his-- 
his eyes, his evil

Mask had slipped. 

And he was gonna 
kill me right then and there 
because he knew 
I would make sure 
he would never 
get out again. 

Arm bar counter for being choked 
from a pinned position. 

Aikido. I wasn't taking it for self-defence, 
but it saved my life. 

And I got to make sure 
he never got out again. 

Well, got to try
He got out. 

Talked to the right people 
who got him the right things 
and he broke out
but it wasn't to escape. 

Crighton Dallas Wilton 
went to my home 
and killed my wife, 
my daughter, and my son. 

He walked down the street to 
the police station around the corner 
covered in their blood. 
He surrendered

Said the only reason 
he broke out was 
to destroy my life. 

A year passed... 
and he was still working those plots. 
They just let him work those 
plots by the roads out by 85, 
grow chrysanthemums
forget-me-nots. 

I built that cell with the full intention 
of bringing Crighton Dallas Wilton here, 
putting him behind those bars 
and watching him 
starve to death. 

Morgan :
And did you? 

Eastman :
.....I have come to believe 
that all life is precious. 

Morgan :
Even for a man like that? 
Who did that to you? 
To your family

Eastman :
.....I have come to believe 
that all Life is precious. 
That's why we're having 
oatmeal burgers. 


Morgan
 :
You're good at it. 
Redirecting. 


We need more gear. 
Tarp, crowbar. 
I'm thinking we could try for 
the islands off the coast. 
I think people could have gone there. 
Hell, at the very least, 
we could see the beach.
