Brute Force Page #7

kinds of work the cons are doing, and I...

Oh, that's right.

You are a reporter, aren't you, Louie?

Yes, sir.

Sit down.

No, not there. Here.

What's the point, Captain?

I've been to the drainpipe before.

I've been there a hundred times.

- What's the idea of all this?

- Tell me, Louie.

How does an illiterate like you

become a reporter?

Even a star reporter?

- I don't know, sir.

- I do.

What business did you have

in the drainpipe?

- I told ya.

- Tell me again.

To write a story.

I don't like that answer.

All right, Jackson.

Gallagher sent you to the drainpipe

to see somebody.

- Who was it?

- Nobody. Just to write...

- Wrong answer.

- Leave me alone, Captain. Please.

I don't have the answers you want.

No?

Now, we'll begin again.

Who was it Gallagher sent you to see?

I told ya. Nobody.

He gave you a message.

What was it?

There was no message.

I don't know what you're talkin' about.

- You don't know much about anything, do ya?

- No.

I suppose you don't even know...

that Collins plans to break out

of the drainpipe at 12:15 today, do ya?

No.

Do ya?

You have been lying to me, haven't you?

Gallagher does know something

about the break, doesn't he?

I don't know.

I don't know what you're talkin' about.

You can hit me.

You can keep on hitting me.

But I don't know what you want.

Jackson.

Take him to the isolation ward.

Spread the word that he had an accident

coming back from the drainpipe.

Yes, sir.

Is there any connection

between Gallagher and Collins?

No.

If there was, he would have told me.

Okay. Get your man out of here.

- Hey, you. Muggsy.

- Yeah?

Comin' up!

- Bring anything for me?

- No.

- You sure?

- Sure, Joe.

- Anything wrong?

- No.

Back to work.

Collins.

All right, Doc.

The cardiogram just came back

from the lab, Collins.

- Yeah?

- Have to check you again.

Make it snappy, Doc.

Okay, okay. Keep it moving.

Louie was beaten up.

Munsey.

Louie might die.

He sent a message.

Whatever your plan is,

don't go through with it.

Munsey knows.

Believe me, Joe.

He knows you're going at 12:15.

He's ready for you, Joe.

He wants you to go.

A prison break finishes Warden Barnes.

Munsey'll be the hero.

He's using your life to make himself warden.

Gallagher been picked up?

Gallagher? No.

Why?

Joe, you haven't got a chance.

How did Munsey find out?

The Munsey way. An informer.

One of your own men, I suppose.

Don't go through with it, Joe. Don't.

Thanks for tryin', Doc.

We got about 10 minutes. There's five

of us. We'll have to go one at a time.

- What position do you want?

- You're the boss.

Whatever you say.

Take your pick for the break.

What position?

I said I'd play along with you, Joe.

You name it.

- You.

- Same goes for me.

We've only got a few minutes, Freshman.

When we break,

what position do you want?

I want to give all the help I can, Joe.

- What position?

- Last.

That'd be the toughest,

wouldn't it, Joe? Last.

Louie got hurt.

Got banged up, they say,

comin' back from the drainpipe.

- Coming back?

- Yeah.

- Munsey.

- Keep circulating.

- Hoffman.

- Captain.

Clay pigeons would have

a better chance.

Oh. Sorry, Captain.

I didn't see you there.

That's all right, Hopkins.

But just remember. There's no reward

for bringing them back alive.

- Not in this jungle.

- Yes, sir.

- Now, is there anything

else you want done, sir? - No.

Bradley, join the guard

along that section of the wall.

Yes, sir.

Load's ready.

Ready to go?

Ready to go.

Look out!

Drop the club. Drop it.

Come here.

Coy, you and Spencer dump this dirt.

Dump it back there.

Give me a break, Collins.

I didn't do anything.

- I didn't have a gun. Give me a break.

- Shut up.

- Now you men listen to me.

- Collins, count me out.

- I don't want any part of this.

- Take me with you, Joe. I'll do anything you say.

- Just take me with ya.

- Me and my boys are gettin' out of here.

The action starts in the yard.

That's when we go.

After that, you can suit yourselves. Right now

do as I say. Get back in the hole... all of you.

Spencer, you and Coy

strip some of that electric wire.

Soldier, get that hack over there.

Joe, what about me?

You?

It'll be no discredit to you.

You'll go away for a short while.

When you get back,

we'll try to fit you in someplace else.

I can't resign.

- This is my whole life.

- Sign it.

Get on that loudspeaker.

Tell them you've resigned.

Attention.

Attention.

Attention, everybody.

This is Warden Barnes.

I have just resigned.

I, uh...

Tell them the prison's now

in charge of Captain Munsey.

- Munsey?

- Go on. Tell them.

No.

With Warden Barnes's resignation

now in effect...

this institution

is in charge of Captain Munsey.

I repeat. Captain Munsey is your warden.

You will obey him.

You will take all orders from Warden Munsey.

- Yah!

- Yah!

Yah! Yah!

Yah! Yah! Yah!

Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah!

Yahl Yahl Yahl

Yahl Yahl Yahl Yahl

Yah! Yah! Yah!

Yah! Yah! Yah!

Yahl Yahl Yahl

Yahl Yahl Yahl

Yahl Yahl Yahl

Yah! Yah! Yah!

Yahl Yahl Yahl Yahl

Yah! Yah! Yah!

Yahl Yahl

Yahl Yahl Yahl

Yah! Yah!

- Move!

- Joey, waitl

- Quick! - You got me wrong!

Munsey made me do it, Joe!

Please! I'll tell you everything! Joe!

Don't! Not this way! Joe!

Joe, will you listen to me?

You'll never make it!

It's a setup! They're waiting for us!

Joe!

Don't shoot! Don't!

Jackson.

You and Tom get down there.

Here. I'll take this.

Get the gun and come on.

Come on, Collins. Come on.

What's the plan now?

The plan's a flop. You're on your own.

It's a million-to-one.

He's trying to ram the gates!

It's Collins!

Gee, that hurt, Doc.

That hurt plenty.

This place is full of pain, Calypso.

You're hurt.

And Collins...

Collins and Munsey are dead.

And the others.

All those others.

Why do they do it?

They never get away with it.

Alcatraz. Atlanta. Leavenworth.

It's been tried in a hundred ways

from as many places.

Always failed.

But they keep trying.

Why do they do it?

I don't know, Doc.

But whenever you got men in prison,

they're gonna want to get out.

But they learn.

They must!

Nobody escapes.

Nobody ever really escapes.
