he knows how to work the crowd to piss them off. coming up, bud doobie takes to the ring. ah! and michael gill reflects on where bud ends and he begins. it s kind of hard to distinguish the real me and the character i play. and the woman who is about to become wife to one of lockup s most memorable inmates. i don t look at bobby as a killer. it s just something he did. it s not something he is. given o reflect on some of life s biggest questions. like, if you could save hundreds on car insurance by making one simple call, why wouldn t you make that call? see, the only thing i can think of is that you can t get any. bars. ah, that s better. it s a beautiful view. i wonder if i can see mt. rushmore from here.
and now you daydream about how you can blow this whole prison up and kill everybody in it. despite bobby ray gilbert s history of violence, both in and out of prison, his fiancee, angel, says when she sees him, she sees a different side. i don t look at bobby as a killer. it s just something he did. it s not something he is. though gilbert is serving life without parole, angel still manages to find ways to include him in her daily home life. these are visiting pictures. people may think it s an obsession, which it s not. i can t see him physically, daily, like joe blow and his wife, you know. i see him on a picture. he s with me, but he s not with me physically. there s more to a relationship than sex. you ve got to have trust, respect, good communication,
i can t financially support you. all i can do is love you and be your friend and be there for you. i mean, i got tears coming down my eyes because i know what s getting ready to happen. and bobby asked me, he says, i love you and i ve never loved a woman as much as i love you. and will you be my wife? i mean, i m crying, oh, yes! and i threw my arms around him, and that was it. angel quit her bartending job, packed up her teenage son and her life in illinois and moved to a small town in alabama where she would only be an hour s drive from the prison. she got a job as a bartender and built her life around visits to gilbert. you ve got to be strong for it because it s not all fun and games. our visits, we laugh and just enjoy each other s time. but when they say visits are now over, you re leaving someone
my goals are to settle down and grow up and live life to the fullest and do positive. and gill s friends say they re committed to helping him stay on track. michael has a good chance of staying out of jail if he has positive people behind him, me for one. i love you, bro. i love you like the sister i never had. [ bleep ] you. as long as i m alive, michael gill will stay out of prison. coming up, one of lockup s most unforgettable inmates finds his soul mate. bobby asked me, he says, i love you and i ve never loved a woman as much as i love you and will you be my wife? and later, a death row inmate places his final phone call to a lockup field producer. i get three hours to live. what s going through your mind?
we ve been together four years. it s just something that happened. i didn t set out for it to happen. it just did. the alabama department of corrections denied a request to interview gilbert, but angel told us the story of how she first became involved with gilbert shortly after seeing him on lockup. angel had initially contacted another holman inmate featured on the series, sherman moore, who held the job of prison barber. it was moore who acted as match-maker. wrote to sherman and developed a friendship with sherman. it s like you pulled a flattop fade out of your head? is that what you want? but i also saw the segment on bobby and i inquired about bobby, you know, what kind of a person is he? i was telling them all about me drinking that bottle of scope up in west jefferson. sherman encouraged me to write to him. he s like, write him, angel. he said you might hit it off.
