I think it's fair to say, from looking

at that, that Sam Foley's a fan?

Sam's mother was murdered.

His father never got over it.

Sam was...

He was in therapy for years.

So why Net News? Why Sam Foley?

You could have given your footage to... anyone.

Could I?

I tried the majors, but...

they had their own agenda.

The Internet was the only place

that it could be run, unedited,

instantly, to the whole world.

Some people have suggested...

that you and Sam Foley...

have been working together.

Did you and Mr. Foley

conspire to create this whole scenario?

Sam was just in the right place at the right time.

What made you decide to start

supplying the mainstream media,

or the... the "majors," as you

describe them, with footage again?

Look, what I was doing was obvious.

But, somehow, the reason I was doing it was not.

Now, I figured that if I exposed

what I was doing to more people,

eventually someone somewhere would figure it out.

The world would open its eyes,

and then maybe I could stop.

So you wanted other people to take up your work?

- No.

- You wanted...

you wanted other people to start killing?

No. No.

Millions of people are watching this broadcast,

right now, both here and around the world.

I believe they want the answer

to one... simple question.

Why didn't you just stop?

Because regardless of whether the

message was getting out there or not...

they all deserved to die.

If you believe that we are simply dumb animals that

have developed some level of self-awareness, well,

then you can rationalize taking a life,

because it really doesn't mean anything.

Sure.

But if you believe in the existence of a soul,

something beyond this world, well,

that puts a whole different perspective on it.

So, you're saying John Doe

doesn't believe in the soul.

He just thinks we're all dumb animals.

Oh, not at all.

John Doe is much more complicated than that.

So no accidents this week?

No.

You sure about that?

No, there's no accidents.

Uh...

can you sign my form, please?

We'll get to the form in a minute.

Look, Becky...

it's beyond time for you

to give the shelter a try.

No, I can't leave.

- Yes, you can.

- No, I couldnt.

He loves me.

You can't live like this.

Well, how would we survive?

I've never had a job.

Hmm? Who's gonna give me a job?

We can take care of that.

You stay at the shelter,

there are training programs.

No.

Tell me, Becky, why is it more

scary to leave than to stay?

Well, what about Taylor?

She'd be devastated.

And...

I mean, she loves her father.

No doubt, but she needs you.

Well, we shouldn't leave. It wouldn't be fair.

He works so hard to support us.
