"ANNOUNCER:" "Live from WZIL, News 25 at noon starts now." "(NEWS THEME PLAYING)" "NEWSCASTER:" "Colin Evans, convicted of voluntary manslaughter for one of the most brutal murders in recent history, is up for parole today." "Five years ago, Evans was one of the most wanted men in state history, having emerged as the prime suspect in the disappearance of five young women." "Evans was eventually apprehended for the crimes, only to escape and elude authorities for several months, until the night he was arrested for the fatal barroom brawl that would lead to his manslaughter conviction." "The evidence necessary to try Evans for the abduction of the five young women proved illusory." "The DA's office decided to settle for what it knew it could prove in a court of law." "Hence, the lesser manslaughter conviction." "No mention of Evans being the primary suspect in the disappearance and presumed death of the five young women was ever made at his manslaughter trial." "But now, on a day when one of the most feared men in the annals of state history might walk after having served only five years in prison for manslaughter, the five families are huddled together outside the courthouse hoping and praying" "that the man they believe to be nothing more than a vicious animal, is not set free." "DRIVER:" "I'm hoping you get a fair shake today, Colin." "I prayed hard for it Sunday." "I appreciate that." "In my experience, if you give a man a second chance, usually, they rise to the occasion." "Well, except politicians." "I've never met one of them ever learned from their mistakes." "What about you, Officer Reid?" "Can I count on your support?" "They pay me to guard you, not to talk to you." "Don't mind him, Colin." "He's got woman troubles." "You know how that goes." "Yeah." "MAN:" "Colin Evans, currently serving 10 to 15 years for involuntary manslaughter." "Let the record show you've requested to address the parole board in lieu of your attorney." "You may begin." "COLIN:" "Thank you, sir." "I'm not going to stand here and lie to you, because I'm not very good at that." "When I was sentenced, I was angry." "I told myself fights like this get out of hand all the time." "Accidents happen and I could have easily been the man that died that night." "But as time went by, I realized I was wrong." "I shouldn't have been angry." "I should have been ashamed." "A man had died, and there was no way I could bring him back." "But I could make a change within myself." "And others, perhaps." "I started a teaching program, teaching other prisoners to read and write." "And the warden saw this, and they're talking about taking my program statewide to other prisons." "I feel like that's an achievement." "I stand here right now as a changed, humble man." "I've been in the prison correctional system for five years now, and that is exactly what I am, corrected." "Rehabilitated." "I just want you to give me a chance." "I won't let you down." "Thank you for your time." "Mr. Chairman, if I could have just a moment?" "CHAIRMAN:" "Go ahead." "You see, I did my homework on this man." "And I can tell you with confidence that he's actually quite a good liar." "That fight that got out of hand, that was actually Mr. Evans flying into a murderous rage because of how the victim was looking at his girlfriend." "And as a younger man, there were other acts of violence, frequently involving the attentions of a woman." "Mr. Evans fits the criteria of a malignant narcissist." "Charming, highly intelligent, as you've witnessed, but malignant narcissists are compelled to prove their superiority." "Everything's a seduction, and if they're rejected, or things don't go their way, they lose control." "Some other more well-known malignant narcissists were" "(DISTORTED ECHOING) Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy..." "Now, hold on." "No." "Sir." "Sir." "Mr. Evans, please, just sit down." "Please sit down, Mr. Evans." "I can tell you there's violence in this man." "And his control over himself is slender." "I'll let my fellow board members make up their own minds, but there are five families outside who are hoping and praying that we do not set Colin Evans free." "Mr. Evans, as I'm sure you're aware, to be granted parole in the State of Tennessee, it must be a unanimous vote." "We'll take this up again in five years, as mandated." "CHAIRMAN:" "Ladies and gentlemen, that convenes the State of Tennessee parole hearing for today." "Madame Secretary, you can turn off your recording devices." "Ladies and gentlemen, you are free to go at this time." "I don't know what to say, Colin." "Why even waste your breath?" "Uh, a little help." "My nose is bleeding." "Reid." "He'll be fine." "Give him a tissue or something." "Here." "(TIRES SCREECH)" "Shit!" "COLIN:" "No, no, put the gun down!" "No!" "Or you can watch him die and I don't want that!" "No!" "You don't want that." "Put the gun down and you both walk out of here!" "Come on." "I just want to get out of here, that's all." "Colin, please." "You have my word." "Go on." "Come on." "Just put it down." "Just put it down!" "(HEAD THUNKS ON FLOOR)" "(MEN TALKING INDISTINCTLY)" "Yes, I'm still here." "(HORN BEEPING)" "Yeah." "Ryan, honey, please don't do that."

"Yeah." "Thanks, Karen." "Okay." "Bye-bye." "What's up?" "Uh, there's a storm coming." "Ls everything gonna be okay out there?" "I covered the concrete with plastic." "It will delay the dry-time a little, but nothing to worry about..." "(HORN BEEPING)" "Ryan, paint Mommy a picture." "Please, go make me a picture." "Go ahead." "Come on." "Go get your coloring book." "With the storm coming, there's really not much we can do." "Hey, Javier." "The house is looking great." "It's getting there." "Have a good weekend." "You, too." "Bye."

"You are a mess, but you look good." "Thanks." "So do you." "Yeah, covered in spit-up and carrying an extra 10 pounds, but thanks." "Do you know what I think?" "I think you're not the reason you feel bad about yourself." "I think that Jeffrey should be making you feel appreciated and he should..." "Meg, Jeffrey makes me feel appreciated, okay?" "He appreciates me." "Thanks for your concern." "I am just saying..." "Okay." "RYAN:" "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "Hey, sweetheart." "Jeffrey's home early." "Oh, I forgot to tell you." "It's his dad's birthday, so, he's taking him on a golf trip." "Okay." "You know what?" "We're going to have a girls' night." "I'm going to get some wine." "Mmm!" "Great." "My girl needs a girls' night." "We're going to get drunk!" "(BOTH LAUGHING)" "TERRY:" "I can't wait." "Oh!" "Hey, Jeffrey." "Hey, Meg." "What are the two of you up to?" "Oh, you know, just braiding each other's hair and talking about the boys we like." "Ah, Meg stopped by on her run."

"Hello, darling." "Damn, baby." "I was feeding your children." "Can you try not to act so grossed out?" "I'm sorry." "It's just this Hopkins case is turning into a nightmare." "The judge rejected our plea today." "I am sorry to hear that." "JEFFREY:" "That's life, right?" "I saw that Meg sold that house down by the school." "She must be making a killing." "Meg has quite the life." "Here we go." "I'm home two minutes and you're already being negative." "All I said was that Meg had the life." "And you don't?" "Jeffrey, I..." "JEFFREY:" "Babe, just remember it was your idea to be a full-time mom." "This is what you wanted, not me." "Yes, it is what I wanted, Jeffrey." "I hardly saw you all week and I'm going to miss you."

"We can do that." "TERRY:" "I'm going to the store." "That way, you can spend some time with the kids before you leave." "No, wait a minute." "No, no."
