Alvin Melleth

About a half hour into their conversation, Stephanie seems ready to wrap this whole thing up.

Okay, all right.

As everybody starts packing up, Greg seems to suddenly remember his real goal.

He wants to talk to Montoya directly, and a question just pops out of his mouth.

So here was my question.

Could Stephanie really get Greg a meeting with Montoya, or was that just her polite way of getting rid of them?

When we meet up with Greg and Jeremy in the hotel lobby the next morning, it looks like they already have an answer.

They're both buzzing, still in shock that Stephanie did this for them.

Getting Montoya on board would be huge.

It would mean halting the execution with just weeks to go.

There would be time to finally test the DNA.

Greg wants to text Montoya immediately.

Jeremy says, maybe don't text yet.

Give Montoya some space.

Maybe send him something to read.

But Greg wants to strike while the iron is hot.

In these little disagreements, Greg, the long-timer, gets the final say.

So he begins typing, hunts and pecks with one finger.

When Greg said we could follow his team around, I didn't anticipate just how much time we'd spend watching them scrunched around an iPhone.

If you squinted, it kind of looked like Alvin and I were documenting two buddies trying to get a second date.
