越狱第一季:第四十七期

林肯将被处以死刑,由于他是"刺杀总统哥哥"的犯人，Fox River监狱因此成为焦点。下面是一名记者对狱长Henry Pope的采访。Henry表示，他们会有一套程序保证死刑正常执行，他本人对此事表示同情，但这并不意味着他相信林肯是无罪的。

[00:52.35]Henry Pope
[01:07.84]I'm here with Henry Pope,
[01:08.71]who is the warden¹ of Fox River Penitentiary
[01:10.59]where Lincoln Burrows² is scheduled to die
[01:12.31]by electrocution at 12:01 a.m. tomorrow.
[01:14.98]Warden Pope, can you tell me
[01:15.84]what's gonna happen in the next few hours?
[01:18.01]There are strict Department of Corrections guidelines
[01:20.27]that govern every aspect of an execution.
[01:23.00]Measures taken to make sure
[01:24.12]that the process goes as smoothly³ as possible.
[01:26.20]Such as?
[01:27.52]The correctional officers will do a walkthrough,
[01:29.57]we'll review the list of witnesses,
[01:30.79]the chair will be checked
[01:32.18]and rechecked to make sure there's no problem.
[01:34.15]And Mr. Burrows himself.
[01:35.19]Have you spoken with him?
[01:36.01]What are his thoughts in these final hours?
[01:39.46]I'd say that's between him and his God.
[01:41.43]And maybe the Governor.
[01:42.80]I understand Burrows' attorneys
[01:43.91]are going to request a stay.
[01:46.05]I wish them the best of luck.
[01:47.09]Does that mean you believe he's innocent?
[01:49.80]It means...
[01:51.25]I believe in the process
[01:52.31]but I don't relish⁴ the prospect⁵ of taking another man's life.
[01:57.25]Whether it's just or not,
[01:58.45]there's no joy that lies before us today.
[02:01.28]Okay, thank you very much, Warden.
[02:03.11]And we will be here with you throughout the night
[02:04.79]watching and waiting to see
[02:06.41]if Lincoln Burrows does in fact become
