Well, he don't have

any outstanding appeals,

so, looks like

we're definitely going to do it tonight.

Everybody okay?

- You all right, Georgia Ann?

- I'm okay.

- Dappa, is that hood ready?

- Yeah. Yeah, it's fixed and ready to go.

All right.

Anybody got anything to say?

- Tommy.

- He likes to draw. It calms him down.

Draw. Okay.

Phil, will you make sure he's got

whatever it is he needs to draw with?

Yes, sir.

All right.

Tommy, why don't you lead us in a prayer?

Okay.

Open cell 13!

I'm here for your stuff, man.

"Now know I that the Lord

saveth his anointed.

"He will hear him in his holy heaven

with the saving strength of his right hand."

- Be careful with this.

- Don't worry about it, man.

Close 13!

Worry's all I got.

"...trust in chariots, some in horses,

"but we will remember

the name of the Lord our God.

"They are brought down and fallen,

but we are risen and stand upright.

"Save, Lord, let the king

hear us when we call."

Sky surfing is when you skydive

with a board attached to your feet

and try to do different maneuvers.

A camera flyer flies with a camera

on top of their helmet,

filming the sky surfer,

and flies interactively with the sky surfer,

capturing the moves.

My camera flyer

is my husband Craig O'Brien.

Now, I'm gonna put

these on nice and loose.

Everything gonna be okay, right?

Yes, sir.

What about my last phone call?

Warden says it's a bad idea.

Turn around.

Think maybe he could call my son

and tell him that I tried?

I don't think so.

Okay.

Open 13!

Our free fall is usually around 60 seconds,

and the normal altitude that

we jump from is 12,500 feet.

Let's go.

Close 13!

...starting to feel a little cramped

by your present surroundings?

Maybe it's time to expand your horizons.

Maybe it's time to think about Re/Max.

Re/Max and associates lead

the real estate industry...

I'm gonna be right back. Stay right there.

Re/Max can help you find a new home

that meets all your needs.

While selling your current house to

someone who'll find it absolutely perfect...

If you're looking for results,

look for Re/Max.

Nobody sells more real estate.

Where's my paper and pencil?

It's my right to have my paper and pencil.

I know it.

Your paper and pencil's on the way.

I promise you this.

Hey.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Here you go, Lawrence.

Is that done?

Let's see.

Wow. That's nice. That's real nice.

I don't look this good in person.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

You're welcome.

You all right, Lawrence?

Sonny.

- Just you breathe.

- Sonny.

Sonny, sit down.

Sonny, I said sit down.

Sit down.

Come on.

Come on, Lawrence.

Come on, buddy. Come on, buddy.
