Hi. I remember a movie that I saw on HBO in the late 80s to the early 90s. It was about either a Police Detective or a Journalist who was interviewing a killer on death row before he is to be executed. The Killer is white, and the Interviewer is black. Why is he interviewing him? Maybe the guy is innocent? Maybe the guy interviewing wants info on the locations of more victims? Maybe he wants a story, I can't remember. Here's were I'm fuzzy. Thru the course of the movie the guy doing the interview begins to care about the killer on death row. At the End, the killer decides he's going to die on his terms. To this end, he makes a really half assed "escape attempt", and the prison guard's open fire on him and fatally wound him. All this happens in front of the interviewer,and he dies in his arms(?). Sounds bad, but I remember when I saw this as a tween I cried at the end. Do y'all have any thoughts on what the name of this could be? Thanks O_*
