The Crow: Salvation

[ Crowd Shouting ]

[ Camera Shutter Clicking ]

[ Female Newscaster ] You join us

live outside the state prison...

to witness the arrival

of Nathan and Erin Randall,

the father and sister

of the murdered Lauren Randall.

The impending state execution of

Alex Corvis may provide the Randalls,

and what seems the majority of this

crowd, with some form ofjustice.

- Why are there so many?

-Just hold on to me.

Back, back.

Mr. Randall, sir, do

you think this execution...

will bring you a sense of closure

for you and your daughter?

Erin, your sister has been

gone for three years now.

Can you tell us anything?

[ Shouting ]

A difficult time

for everyone involved.

lnteresting fact: lt will take

about 21 cents of electricity...

to execute Alex Corvis tonight,

on this, his 2 1 st birthday.

[ Cell Door Opens ]

[ Sighs ]

He didn't order that.

We found the man

with the scar.

Go ahead,

make a wish.

Get it out of here.

[ Cell Door Closes ]

Oh, yes, l've come to a lot

of these over the years,

but this one has, well,

many unique aspects.

The youth of the condemned.

Now, that's unusual.

And 53 stab wounds!

Hmph! Kind of a record.

- And Corvis still

maintaining his innocence?

- Oh, they all say that.

l saw those two fighting that day.

Facing the chair,

you do what you gotta do.

[ Sniffs ]

You okay?

What's been

holding me together...

is the hope that maybe

you do go someplace.

l'll be seein' her

again soon, you know.

Only what can l say?

That l was too stupid

to find the guy that killed her?

That he's down here laughin'

Tell her...

we'll get him.

[ Scoffs ]

" We" won't .

Someday he'll surface,

and l'll get him for both of you.

l promise.

l'll find the guy with the scar.

This mystery man with the scar,

the zigzag, whatever?

We couldn't find him.

Obviously the jury didn't buy it.

- [ Reporter ] Some people here seem to.

- Look.

People here are protesting

execution of a kid turned 21 .

A kid who had a tough life.

No parents, no dough,

always had to fight for everything.

lt's a tragedy.

lt really is.

lf l was facing the hot seat,

l'd want my attorney...

banging down the door to the Supreme

Court, not playing some board game.

But maybe that's just me.

Your move.

No. lt's time.

l don't want you to watch.

l don't want to give 'em

the pleasure.

Come on now.

[ lnmates Banging

Rhythmically ]

[ Banging Louder]

[ Minister ] " The Lord

is my shepherd, l shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down

in green pastures.

He leadeth me

beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul.

He leadeth me in the paths

of righteousness for His name's sake.

Yea, though l walk through the valley

of the shadow of death...

l will fear no evil...

for Thou art with me.

Thy rod and Thy staff,

they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table

before me...

in the presence

of mine enemies.

Thou anointest my head

with oil.

My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy...

shall follow me...

all the days of my life...

and l will dwell in the house

of the Lord forever."

Alexander Frederick Corvis,

do you have any last words?

l loved Lauren.

l still do.

l'm innocent.

[ Scoffs ]

[ Panting ]

Murderer!

Look at that.

Goddamn helmet

melted his skin off.

That's what l call

a deterrent.

Oops.

Why do they bother

autopsying these guys?

l mean, the cause of death

is pretty f***ing obvious.

[ Chattering ]

Go on to the car,

honey. Go on.

Mr. Randall, we all wish this

would have ended better, sir.

[ Beeping ]

We have an escape in progress.

What are you trying

to say here?

[ Squawking ]

- [ Alex ] You lie!

You lie!

Thomas Leonard.

[ Footsteps ]

[ Squawking ]

Sh*t.

[ Squawking ]

l thought

l'd be with you now.

l'm not dead.

And l'm not alive.

And l'm remembering.

And it hurts.

Your Shaolin style

is no match for my kung fu.

Your flying crane style...

[ Laughing ]

is no match for

my drunken tiger kick.

Aww.

Your mad monkey love...

is no match--

l can't be alive.

Not without you.

l want to be with you

forever.

- l want to be with you forever.

- Only forever?

[ Gasps ]

lt's okay.

l'm not gonna hurt you.

Don't come near me!

- l was a friend of your sister's .

- l know her friends.

That locket

you're holding.

- You have one just like it.

- No kidding.

Your father gave them

to both of you.

He's right over there

by the way.

What did you do

to your face?

- Someone else did it.

- You're a friend of the guy

who killed Lauren, aren't you?

- You almost sound like him.
