Quotes 

• Tom Winston : I read your article in the Bulletin.

  Sarah Bennett : Okay. Yeah.

  Tom Winston : Is that what you really think about the Executioner? He's a coward?

  Sarah Bennett : Well, I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it.

  Tom Winston : The Executioner doesn't think like you do. You can't shame him. You can't reason with him. All you can do is fuel him and his obsession.

  Sarah Bennett : Yeah? You'd know this how, huh?

  Tom Winston : I was obsessed with your parents. I know you think he can't hurt you, but the last thing you want to do is make that a challenge for him.

• Sarah Bennett : You would never consider talking to my husband... . would you, for... for the Bulletin?

  Tom Winston : Is there something you want me to do?

  Sarah Bennett : A simple yes or no.

  Tom Winston : On one condition.

  Sarah Bennett : We can't pay you.

  Tom Winston : I'd like a memento.

  Sarah Bennett : What kind of memento?

  Tom Winston : A lock of your hair.

  Sarah Bennett : [disgusted]  Forget I asked.

• Dylan Bennett : You're angry.

  Sarah Bennett : Yeah, of course I'm angry. And I'm sad and I'm upset, but I'm not afraid.

  Dylan Bennett : No?

  Sarah Bennett : When something like this happens... you know, at first you're numb.

  Dylan Bennett : Mm.

  Sarah Bennett : And then when you start to be able to wrap your mind around it, your imagination can take you to some pretty dark places. You think about what your loved ones went through before they died, about how terrified they were, about how much they suffered. And then you find the pain and the rage, and you want revenge. I despise the Executioner's actions, but I don't hate him. Because hate is just fear, and I am not afraid. The Executioner's afraid. He's a coward. Him, Tom Winston, anyone who's ever taken the life of another person... cowards.

  Tom Winston : [reading the article in his prison cell]  I'm a coward? I'm a coward? I'M A COWARD?

  [tearing the paper up and throwing belongings around] 

  Tom Winston : TOM WINSTON IS A COWARD? HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU! DAMN YOU! HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME? YOU DON'T FUCKING KNOW ME! YOU FELT PAIN? YOU FELT PAIN? I'M THE COWARD?

• Alan Henry : The McBrides have always been a troubled family. You know, I worked with Trent. I was his youth-group leader. I tried and, to some extent, succeeded in putting him on the right path.

  Tom Winston : You're being sentimental.

  Alan Henry : Of course I'm being sentimental. For Christ's sake... sometimes, Tom...

  Tom Winston : What?

  Alan Henry : Sometimes I forget you're a Christian.

  Tom Winston : Yeah.

  [taking Alan's Bible] 

  Tom Winston : "God is jealous, and the Lord revengeth. The Lord revengeth, and he's furious. The Lord will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he will reserveth wrath for his enemies." It's not about turning off your emotions, Alan. Grieve for them...

  [giving it back] 

  Tom Winston : ...pray for them... but let that bolster and strengthen your faith rather than diminish it. God's work is being done. Open your Bible.

  Alan Henry : Which scripture would you have me...

  Tom Winston : Just open it.

  [doing so, Alan finds the baggie containing the lock of Sarah's hair] 

  Tom Winston : Now, you don't owe me anything, but if you revere the truth the way you claim to... you'll do this for me.

• Tom Winston : How much does Sarah know?

  Dylan Bennett : I'm sorry?

  Tom Winston : How much does Sarah know?

  Dylan Bennett : About me being here? Well, she gave me your conditions, that's...

  Tom Winston : How much does Sarah know about you?

  Dylan Bennett : I'm not sure I follow. I'm the one here to interview you, not the other way around.

  Tom Winston : Sarah might have told you. I don't always read the letters that are sent to me...

  [taking some out and sliding them over to him] 

  Tom Winston : ...but I do keep them, and I got a great memory... for names.

  [on the top envelope, Dylan sees his own name in the corner designated for return addresses] 

  Tom Winston : So again, Dylan, how much does Sarah know?
