Laurel cannot listen without crying.
Her eyes are all red.

:53:05
I'm with her. When Raphael first laid eyes
upon the Sistine Chapel he passed out.

:53:10
- Aren't you gonna find us a taxi?
- Yeah, let's go.

:53:13
She's head over heels in love with him.
:53:16
He's gifted, sensitive.
He is unfazed by the details of her past.

:53:19
He is, in fact, moved by her suffering.
:53:22
Even the awful story she's been
reluctant to tell but feels that she must.

:53:28
I killed him.
:53:31
But it was an accident.
:53:34
No.
:53:38
In my defence, I will say
I was out of my mind on drugs.

:53:42
I shouldn't say drugs. Pills.
:53:45
Pills to help me sleep at night,
pills to keep me awake,

:53:48
whatever I could get my hands on to sweep
my various pains and anxieties under the rug.

:53:57
But if I'm honest about it, I did mean to do it.
:54:01
No.
:54:05
I denied it in the trial, of course.
:54:08
But the fact is, I...
:54:12
I couldn't think of what else to do.
:54:15
I thought about killing myself.
:54:19
Why I didn't, I can't say.
It would have been much more rational.

:54:23
I thought about killing his girlfriend.
:54:28
Maryanne was her name.
:54:30
Maryanne Lane.
:54:35
And it was...
:54:38
It was so easy buying a gun.
:54:42
I just drove out of state
and I walked into a store and I bought one.

:54:47
There were no questions asked.
:54:49
I bought a box of bullets and I loaded it
like I'd been handling one my whole life.

:54:57
It was all very premeditated,
