What's this thing between you and Vern? Every time he comes in here, you boys snarl at each other.
It's a long story.
I've got no other appointments today.
That bastard is the reason I'm on Death Row. He and another Aryan creep killed a Russian. Told me if I don't confess to the murder they'd kill me.
Death sentence either way.
Yeah.
But if you know you're going to die, why not tell the truth?
The other one, Mark Mack, is already dead. Besides, why should the hacks listen to me now? I say Schillinger did it, they say prove it. I have no proof.
Unless you say you did it together.
What?
Lie. Tell them that you and Vern both killed the Russian.
How does that help me get off Death Row?
It doesn't, hon. But it does ensure his ass will be up here in the cell next to yours. Just something to consider, Richie. Just something to consider.
