Plot
Philadelphia detective John Hobbes (Denzel Washington) visits convicted serial killer Edgar Reese (Elias Koteas) on death row shortly before his execution. Reese appears strangely cheerful, grips Hobbes' hand, and delivers what seems to be gibberish in an unknown language later identified as Syrian Aramaic. As he is executed, Reese mocks the witnesses and sings the Rolling Stones song "Time Is on My Side".
