They didn't expect him to live past 16. 323 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,078 If he had called it quits when he was 16, there'd have been no "Mack The Knife", 324 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,312 or "Somewhere Beyond The Sea". You know that one? 325 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,030 There would have been no Academy Award nomination for... 326 00:27:52,120 --> 00:27:54,396 - Captain Newman. - Captain Newman MD. 327 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,279 But he developed congestive heart disease. 328 00:27:57,360 --> 00:28:00,751 He had multiple heart surgeries, which really had no effect. 329 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,354 So he made a choice to stop having them, 330 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,911 knowing that he would not live much longer after making that choice. 331 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:13,799 He died, dignified and remembered, at the age of 37. 332 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:20,193 Would you perhaps be indicating your belief in doctor-assisted suicide? 333 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,396 I don't think we need doctors. 334 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:27,316 With a little education, we could all help each other out when the time comes. 335 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:32,110 Then perhaps you'd be willing to explain how you assisted Eleanor Norris? 336 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,114 - Preston Williams? - I don't know anyone alive by that name. 337 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,431 Do you know anyone dead by that name? 338 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,150 See, I don't even subscribe to the notion of "dead". 339 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:47,029 There's only alive.

They know that plane. 344 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,754 The Tibetan Book of the Dead speaks of a calm preparation for death 345 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,514 as a glorious part of life. 346 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,309 In West Africa, several years are spent planning their own funerals. 347 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,352 Mexico has a day of the dead. But in America, 348 00:29:23,364 --> 00:29:25,998 death is fought with healthcare dollars, 349 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,756 spent mostly in the last months of life, and not for the benefit of dying patients. 350 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,390 It's for the doctors. Their convenience and their wallets. 351 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:39,680 What if everything you're saying could be proved beyond the shadow of a doubt? 352 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:45,073 There is still the law. Without the law, there's chaos. 353 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,674 The end of order is the end of the world. 354 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,072 Obeying immoral laws is the end of the world. 355 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,676 But at least you're getting warmer, Frank. 356 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,631 Lara? 357 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:07,196 Tell me, Steven, so I can know, so that I can grow closer, so that I can grow. 358 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,472 How did you get to that other plane? 359 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:17,999 One night on call, making my rounds, eager to get home, 360 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,960 a patient, in her 80s, she was... 361 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,556 Her body was racked with arthritis. 362 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:30,316 She had congestive heart disease, pneumonia had set in. 363 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,869 Her entire body was jaundiced, 364 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,610 skin stretched paper-thin over a fluid-filled 365 00:30:36,622 --> 00:30:39,878 abdomen, swollen five times normal size. 366 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,793 I entered her room. I could hear her gasping for air. 367 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:48,114 I remember thinking... You know how clear your mind can be in an emergency? 368 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,159 I thought "Why didn't she push the call button? She's done it before." 369 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,390 I moved to her. 370 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,949 She couldn't breathe. 371 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:02,319 Without even considering her, I inserted a surgical tool and began a tracheotomy. 372 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:08,515 Then... Then I saw her. Her teeth yellowed, 373 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,594 surrounded by chapped, parched lips. 374 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:18,278 She stared up at me with eyeballs sunken in their sockets. 375 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,672 And those eyes spoke. Her eyes did. 376 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,513 Begging "Let me go." 377 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,037 And did you? 378 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:35,031 She found the other plane. And so did I. 379 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,797 (knock at door) 380 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,715 His fingerprints aren't anywhere. Not in any of the motel rooms. 381 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,792 There is no evidence in his apartment or his car. 382 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:03,717 Not a hypodermic, an IV bottle, a piece of tubing. There's nothing out of place. 383 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,440 None of the victims' family members will come forward. 384 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,114 We nearly had him on the woman in the hospital. 385 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,272 - He won't confess. - We've got nothing to hold Kiley on. 386 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:17,799 We're gonna have to let him go. His record's cleaner than mine. 387 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,589 His employers love him. He's an exemplary employee. 388 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,469 He's working two jobs. He's never been late to either one. 389 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:30,111 He's never taken a sick day. Although he is sick. 390 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,556 Terminal. Our physicians confirmed it. 391 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,676 The guy's a damn saint. 392 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,231 Or worse. 393 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,390 (oar door opens and closes) 394 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,754 - We were worried. - I'm so sorry. I was detained. 395 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,593 - Better late than never. - Oh, well... 396 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,675 As Henry James said on his deathbed: 397 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,640 "Here it is at last, the distinguished thing." 398 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:47,470 In the old days, nobody would leave a note. Few people knew how to read or write. 399 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,315 Besides, if someone confessed to having taken their own life, 400 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,870 they'd be dragged through the streets, their bodies pitched on a stake 401 00:33:54,960 --> 00:34:00,672 and their family's possessions taken away. Imagine that. How far we've come. 402 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,070 Now, in my humble opinion, 403 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:08,030 I think it's polite and only fair to your family and friends, and fair to yourself, 404 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,794 to leave a few last thoughts before you go. 405 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,718 Anne Sexton, Pulitzer prizewinning author, did not leave a note, 406 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:23,192 but... in a poem she wrote: 407 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,591 "Death's a sad bone; bruised, you'd say, 408 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,593 and yet she waits for me, year after year, 409 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,639 to so delicately undo an old wound, 410 00:34:33,720 --> 00:34:37,634 to empty my breath from its bad prison." 411 00:34:37,720 --> 00:34:44,956 Here's my thing. If a pack of predators can detect the weak or sick of the herd, 412 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:49,750 couldn't Steven Kiley be functioning on the same primal instinct? 413 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,276 We've seen serial killers pick their victims this way. 414 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:58,480 It is difficult to fit him into the psychological profile of a serial killer. 415 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:03,555 His killings are organised, yet he crosses gender lines. It doesn't fit. 416 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,792 This thrill ride does not discriminate. 417 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:11,797 It can be taken by the old, by the young, 418 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:17,910 black, white, people with heart problems or back problems. 419 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,958 All you need is a ticket. 420 00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:23,870 It's the gift of prophecy. 421 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:29,956 Like a map, to help guide you on your path when you reach the other side. 422 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,999 He believes his acts were altruistic. Yet his victims are bound. 423 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,513 This is a matter of control. 424 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,160 Under the guise of helping other people to die, 425 00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:48,198 he holds their lives in his hands. 426 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:52,990 The body has a reflex which can cause you to remove your finger from the switch. 427 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,188 Now he's been diagnosed terminal, he 428 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,790 doesn't even have control over his own body. 429 00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:58,676 Or time. 430 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,832 Interrupting the solution flow would make you lapse into coma. 431 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,718 You'd be back where you started. 432 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,474 We had control over him today. 433 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:12,715 To relieve that anxiety, that helplessness, he'll have to help others his way. 434 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:18,479 If you think you'll have some difficulty pushing the switch, 435 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,995 let me know beforehand. 436 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,749 I'll give you a little push. 437 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,833 None of the surveillance officers have seen him. 438 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,231 Not at the hospital, crisis centre, not at home. 439 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:36,958 Let's get more aggressive. 440 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:41,830 We do a close-up inspection of the rooms, in case he slipped into one of them. 441 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:47,074 Now, your emotions at this time are entirely your own, and no one else's. 442 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,790 You learn so much about yourself at a time like this. 443 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:56,159 I've seen Marines cry and waitresses accepting and peaceful. 444 00:36:56,240 --> 00:36:58,800 Everyone is different. 445 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,038 Isn't that beautiful? 446 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,919 Hello?
