Indeed, speaking out for 315 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,320 the truths can be one of the most hazardous and 316 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:59,320 least remunerative of all occupations. However, from time to time, 317 00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:04,480 say points the finger, and the selection or the election 318 00:16:04,759 --> 00:16:09,279 to witness can happen to anyone at all, even to 319 00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:10,480 Oliver Gearhart. 320 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,399 Speaker 7: Oh excuse me, so do you mind if I share 321 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:12,879 your table? 322 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 2: Help yourself? 323 00:16:14,519 --> 00:16:16,879 Speaker 7: I had no idea this cafeteria would be so crowded. 324 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,519 Speaker 2: Well, it's lunch hour.

His widow will try 363 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,039 to support herself and an invalid daughter on a meager 364 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,480 social security pension. Now, doesn't mister Hoffman deserve better? Surebout 365 00:18:21,559 --> 00:18:24,160 probing further into the affairs of our good mister Hoffman. 366 00:18:24,599 --> 00:18:27,400 Did you know that he was practically in the terminal 367 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,000 stages of an incurable disease? 368 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 2: What are you saying? 369 00:18:31,519 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 7: At most he had three or four months to live 370 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,200 now suppose my son had not shot him. 371 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 2: Look, you're going too fast for me. 372 00:18:38,279 --> 00:18:40,559 Speaker 7: Life is going too fast for you, Oliver. You must 373 00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:43,279 catch up with it now. Had death claimed him due 374 00:18:43,319 --> 00:18:46,960 to natural causes, his unfortunate family would be forced to 375 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,039 exist in penury. 376 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,559 Speaker 2: I never knew he had a fami. 377 00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:53,519 Speaker 7: Instead, my poor boy Junior can now literally become their savior. 378 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 2: I don't follow you. 379 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 6: I would be. 380 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 7: Willing to compensate for Junior's rash action. I would gather 381 00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:03,000 and tee the Hoffman family a comfortable monthly income. 382 00:19:04,519 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 1: What's the catch, you catch a condition? 383 00:19:08,039 --> 00:19:11,799 Speaker 7: Yeah, I would expect you to forget the description of 384 00:19:11,839 --> 00:19:15,519 the gunman at the trial I did. You would be 385 00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:18,759 doing this as a favor to your dear departed friend. 386 00:19:18,519 --> 00:19:21,079 Speaker 2: A favor. I do him a favor when I don't 387 00:19:21,079 --> 00:19:22,839 describe the killer, A favor. 388 00:19:22,519 --> 00:19:25,599 Speaker 7: By achieving what would be precious to him above all else, 389 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:31,119 the security of his family. Now, Oliver, once we probe 390 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,720 beneath the surface of any action, we begin to learn 391 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,119 that things are not at all what they seem. Yes, 392 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,400 on the face of it are senseless brutal killing. But 393 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,319 who died A man whose life would have died in 394 00:19:42,319 --> 00:19:43,759 the midst of horrible suffering. 395 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 5: Perhaps what Junior did may have been for the best 396 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:47,640 after all. 397 00:19:48,319 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 2: But mister Hoffman, he didn't want to die. 398 00:19:51,279 --> 00:19:52,039 Speaker 6: Who does. 399 00:19:53,400 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 7: Oliver?

It is fitting his 409 00:20:37,799 --> 00:20:43,000 death should be tragic too. I forgive the boy we 410 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:49,440 are commanded to forgive. But I have a daughter, my 411 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:54,119 poor Magda, so ill. She needs so much help. And 412 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,240 the lawyer looked at the paper missus Ersworth wants me 413 00:20:58,319 --> 00:21:01,839 to sign.
