Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJacob (Michael Massee) has a tattoo on his right arm, a heart with Sarah Jean's (Jeannetta Arnette) name, beneath it are the words: "Til Death Do Us Part."
- GoofsThis show is based at a state prison in Bradford County, Florida just outside of Starke. This area of Florida is about 138 feet above sea level; however as the team is driving to the prison in the opening scenes, a very large mountain range can be seen in the distance through the windows of the SUV. The Bradford County area is rather lush and green due to the abundance of fresh spring waters, the area around the prison has cattle fields, wooded areas as well; however as the SUV is driving into the prison, not only is the mountain range in clear view, but tumbleweeds are blowing across the road from a field with dead, brown grass.
- Quotes
Jason Gideon: Albert Pine said "What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains, and is, immortal."
Featured review
20 Minutes of Weak Material Stretched to the Breaking Point
There is a 100% chance that monkeyface Gideon will display a human emotion this episode.
Who eats money for their last meal? Is it, like, a single $20 bill or maybe singles with some coins thrown in to help fill the belly?
Garcia devotes an entire monitor to a death countdown timer. How dramatic.
Elle doesn't notice the stranger standing next to her in their round robin until he speaks.
At 05:21- Hollywood cliche #161: "who are you, exactly" is a question that requires a DNA test for an answer.
The Earth is, like, hundreds of miles deep so it would be pretty hard to run out of room to bury bodies. Unless...Elle grab a shovel! Were going to do some digging!
Crime tape chic in the dining room. We bet she could pull off empty beer can pyramid, too.
At.13:13- Hollywood cliche #020: someone must feel guilty for a situation beyond their control.
Reid you are truly a genius. Just because a man brings strange girls to his wood shop and runs the power tools all hours of the day and night and there is screaming and crying and fresh piles of dirt just outside the door doesn't mean he's killing them; he's showing them card tricks.
Oh. By the way there is no evidence that Sarah killed the son. So how, exactly, does she end up on death row?
There are "No Smoking" warnings not ten feet away from Jacob lighting up a cigarette.
At 16:09- Hollywood cliche #210: the closeup of someone inhaling cigarette smoke.
A real poker player does not arrange the cards in their hand.
At 21:39- Hollywood cliche #179: when playing poker someone must draw a pair of aces and a pair of eights; someone must remark: "the dead man's hand".
How is a skeleton identified in just a few minutes? Not even the great Abby Sciuto could manage that feat.
Gideon returns to death row unescorted and cell doors are rolled for him.
Hardees for a last meal? I would rather eat the $20 worth of currency.
At 26:17- Jeannetta Arnette is lucky she didn't suffer damage to her fingers when the cell door was rolled.
At 27:34- It is past 7 o'clock and the executions haven't been carried out.
Jacob is in prison about to die. So Sarah is still protecting the son why, exactly?
The prison barber was certainly not military trained.
When you move a switch down you are turning off the power, yes?
At 34:56- Hollywood cliche #251: energizing the electric chair always causes the lights to dim.
At 43:35- Hollywood cliche #047: actors cannot be taught the few motions required to act like they are playing a musical instrument.
