Jimmy calls to tell her the plan.

And Ms.

Kemple, being a good mom, doesn't think running off to Mexico with a fugitive is the best idea for her terminally ill son.

So she calls the police.

Stephen's arrested at the airport before he and Jimmy board the plane.

Thanks a lot, Mom.

Even though he's clearly a flight risk, Stephen is allowed to bond out.

And instead of staying put, he and Jimmy run.

Mexico, Chicago, Florida, Stephen takes care of Jimmy as his health gets worse, just like he wanted.

But it can't last.

Because by traveling outside of Texas, Stephen is violating the terms of his bond.

He misses his first court hearing, then the next one.

They have 18 months together before police track him down in June 1994.

Stephen is sent back to jail, facing years of prison added to his sentence for the escape.

Jimmy dies three weeks later.

He's only 28 years old.

Stephen learns about it from his cell.

He risked everything to be with Jimmy.

But if you do the math, Stephen's original sentence was six months.

If he just served his time back in 1992, he would have been out in early 1993, free and clear.
