fucking seamus. so goddamn evil. i wonder if gloria & ryan had a relationship after kissing or if it was a one time thing. this is so heart wrenching. how the fuck did they let that guy who killed kareem said AND omar white live but kill cyril for killing a man in SELF DEFENCE?! (yes i know he's had plenty of violent out bursts but so has schillenger and many others)
@jimromerulez You're an idiot. Shirley's death was NOT better nor dramatic. She was a bitch who was accepting death but wanted to back out at the last minute. She was a coward who was hanged quickly. Cyril on the other hand, there was hope that he might be saved again, that his execution would not happen. He didn't have ANY idea that he was being executed. All the events that lead to him being executed were mistakes he made trying to defend his brother. Just stop it, man, use your fucking brain.
Also, considering how much Ryan did for Cyril, and how much he loved his little brother, it always left a bitter taste in my mouth that while Cyril was in that chamber crying for his big brother, Ryan was making out with Gloria. I know this was meant to represent Ryan losing someone precious while gaining someone precious, but after all him and Cyril had been through together, they shouldn't have undermined Cyril's execution with having Ryan and Gloria hook up. He should have been there for him.
Cyril knew right from wrong, which by law means he is mentally competent enough to be executed for his crimes, but his was still the mind of a five year old. My five year old niece knows right from wrong, but her childlike mind prevents her from grasping the seriousness of the consequences of her actions, be they right or wrong. Cyril knew he'd done bad things, but like a child he couldn't grasp just how bad. He was dangerous, yes, being a kid in a grown man's body, but he shouldn't have died.
@TheMMADrGreenthumb This is what they do when someone is about to be executed. Its a sign of protest/support. It was even louder then ever for Cyril, since he was retarded.
Ì don't understand how people can be for the death penalty... It is cruel (can you imagine the last few hours before the execution for the condemned??) and against a fundamental human value: the right to live.
@caillou2000 Because life is precious, the act of an individual taking a life is injurious and offensive to the society/state. As we hold life dear, the society by the instrument of the state,metes out a punishment to the individual that matches the offense; to be carried out in a manner severe enough to give pause to anyone who contemplates the idea of taking a life themselves. One could say that the condemned recieves far more humane treatment than they gave to their victim.
There's no capital punishment in my country ... sorry to say so. Here, our hard-earned tax-money is wasted on keeping scum alive and well in prisons.
I'm pro-capital punishment ... but frying ppl on electric chairs? Slowly gassing them in gas-chambers? WTF! There's a million ways to kill a person quick and painless ... why is the "punishment factor" (torture) required in the US?
It reminds me of the execution scene from 'Angels with Dirty Faces.' in which James Cagney was executed the same way as Cyril O'Reilly. And sorry i thought Martin Querns was a man of courage but when he witness the execution closely he puked.
this scene is heartbreaking and moving and just an overall amazing scene but the thing that stands out the most for me is torquemada's hand on alvarez's leg. i'm a nut.
@hameed not O'Reilly but the one who plays Vernon Schillinger is the Professor in the commercials for the University of Farmers Insurance......O'Reilly was in Law and Order SVU as John Munch's partner and a short love interest of Olivia Benson
eye for and eye leave the world blind ....gahndi said that a life taken doesnt bring a life back just means an extra person died and an extra family must grieve
i have been netflixing this show the past months im dredding seeing this again loved cyril and everything he did was provoke by his traumas of being raped in prison of the shitty abusive father hes a 8 year old with so much rage he was a danger and shoulda been in solitary or have been transferd to the mental institute
Naaa I think the saddest moment would be if someone who "didn't" kill anyone was executed....like in the "Green Mile". It's like everyone is forgetting that Cyril is a bad guy.@popspie
This scene was shitty and not needed. If they were going to kill off Cyril it should have happened in the first attempt, was more touching and realistic (a call isn't going to come at the last moment to save you...). Adding this scene in just made the previous one pointless and made it seem like it was poorly tacked on to the finale for shock effect.
@CaptainWin123 with any execution, the phone is there in case a stay of execution is granted. its the quickest way to get the info there as sometimes it can be really last-minute. i know what you mean though about the scene, i had prepared myself the first time around but then there was a glimmer of hope! always cry at this scene.
@krackablack169 he did already admit it,and he got an extra 40 years added to his sentence but Cyril was executed for other various reasons as well. i still think it's fucked up that they executed him,they even had to lie to him saying that it was a special electro-shock therapy session. this is still one of the most powerful scene,followed by a touching scene where his dad wants to see him,but is a bit too late,and Ryan shows sympathy for his dad,which made me cry a little
if you are referring to the puddle seen when his feet are shown, it isnt urine its salt water. During an electric chair execution, the 2 points of electric contact, the head plate and the ankle band are separated from the body by a layer of sponge soaked in a strong salt solution. If the electrodes were in direct contact, they might burn the skin igniting the body (which has happened)
This scene was really not needed i am suprised tom fontana put it in its hypocritical of ryan to be kissing dr nathan as cyril is being burnt to death!
Thy rod and thy stuff may comfort me, thou preparest a table for me in the midst of my enemies, thou anointh my head with oil. I will dwell in the house of the lord for ever
im sorry...i can you execute someone who has a mind of a 5 year old? That is cruel that's like executing a little kid because the didn't know what a gun was....btw...i do watch this show and i know it very well
@morgybearluvr I agree. In real life, I'm pretty sure that the most he would've gotten is life in prison...but definitely not a death sentence. I mean, come on...they even had to lie to the poor guy and say that they were taking him to a "special session."
@BrownFox815 In most of the country that is true, but Texas executes anyone and everyone and have had numerous cases including those who fall in the category of mentally retarded
@morgybearluvr the thing is cyril did know in some way what he was doing. although he was simple and generally kind, cyril through out the show demonstrated that he knew the implications caused by hurting people the way he did. it's not the same as a 5 year old who simply doesn't understand the mechanics of life and death
Cyril really was like a child, except whereas an angry child's hits and punches do little damage, Cyril could easily kill a man with his bare hands. And true, he did, to a certain extent, know wrong from right ... but I still found it total bullshit when they executed him. I'm not American but I find it hard to believe that any state would sanction the execution of someone with diminished mental capacity.
(Sorry if I come across as cross, but this just really bugged me ^_^')
@funkybunny9966 I wouldn't be happy, but if his actions were being manipulated by someone else and it's proven his brain isn't capable of telling right from wrong as easily. I'd blame the person manipulating and taking advantage of him for the death of my loved one.
Point is... he was put on death row for shanking that asian guy. He saw someone attacking his brother, the only family he really knew, and he protected Ryan. No, killing the guy wasn't right but executed someone like cyril isn't.
