And we hope you're enjoying this performance
of the Huntsville Prison Rodeo.
These inmates and Cowboys have trained hard all year long to put on
an exciting show for you. I know you've seen a lot of action so far.
And you'll see more to come.
We'll have more for you in just a moment.
Okay next up in shoot number 5
is an inmate cowboy named...
Eddie Macon, a young man out
of the state of Florida.
He'll be trying his luck on an old horse called Sailor.
Sailor is in the shoot Eddie gets down on him...
puts his hand in the rigging, pulls
himself up real tight and out they come.
Pretty hard on the first jump, second jump,
the Cowboy had a little hard luck.
Well, Eddie receives a no time,
he's limping off folks...
but I don't believe he's seriously hurt, the
medics will check him out anyway to make sure.
Now if you'll turn your attention to shoot number 4, we have
a young man there named Albert Regland from Lovet, Texas.
He'll be attempting to ride an
old pony called Davy Crocket.
Here, hang on to this, will you Fred?
Here you go, son.
No you keep it, I got 300
miles to stay awake.
I have to see if the ward wants some men.
Yeah, you do that.
I use one trash bag to
ditch my con clothes in,
the other one I put my own clothes in to keep
them dry when I have to cross the border
If it does get real cold at night and if I
get my clothes wet I'll probably freeze
I don't want you to go.
It's just in case Chris.
Just in case what?
To escape from Huntsville means that if
they catch you you'll never get out again.
6 hours ain't possible.
Sergeant you got liquor on your breath,
I'll have your job and your ass together.
Now get on over here right now.
Logan here.
This is Marzach.
Good morning Marzach.
I hear you guys lost one.
That's right.
And I ain't got time to talk about it now.
We have revolution at that damn rodeo.
The damn warden and the
You know what this makes me look like?
you guy got a name?
Macon,
Edward J.
Son of a b*tch.
He ran before. That's right.
3 years ago.
Jumped off a transfer bus.
I was right there.
I nailed his ass right
on his own front porch.
Is he the one who gave you a beauty mark?
Oh, yes, warden.
Macon, Edward J.
I know it's not possible but
second time going through.
Look Mr. I am not a criminal
I don't belong in jail.
Calm down Sonny the bus
will be here any minute.
You don't want to miss
your first day of school.
Jesus Christ, can't you see
that's my wife and my kid.
I'm a decent person.
Oh sure, the jail is full ot hem.
Mr. look, I don't want to go to prison.
Daddy! Daddy! No!
We got the dogs all set up and we'll have
everybody out there ready to go at half an hour.
Why the hell did this bastard
run off on my shift.
Did you have a chance to talk
and make him a soulmate yet?
Man, I didn't have a chance to wipe my ass.
How did he get out?
one of the stock trailers.
There was 12 of them.
It's a joke.
I think you could use some expert assistance.
I need your help Marzack, I'll ask for it.
Meanwhile I'm busy.
You boys ready?
Yeah!
All right.
Any man who runs from Huntsville
twice got a be a dumb son of a b*tch.
Now, let's get his ass!
How so.
They gonna get him.
No way.
bloodhounds right now.
All right. That's right
It's going to take more than
Oh yeah.
Yeah
It's going to take a cop.
If I run 27 miles at night,
hide out and sleep during the day.
It's no different than
running four marathons in four days.
You never even run one marathon.
There's a first time for
everything, isn't there?
Chris, I have been training every day.
I know I can do it.
Let us meet with the car.
No.
We do this my way.
You and Bobby meet me in
Mexico like we planned.
Honey, I'm so scared!
I am too!
But if I can't be with you and Bobby,
I just rather not be at all.
As the Tri-State Manhunt continues.
Macon was serving a twenty year
sentence for charges including assault.
And is described by prison officials
as dangerous.
Laredo news time is 11:45.
Everyone in Huntsville
loves the prison rodeo.
Well almost everyone.
It seems that one of today's
contestants had such a bad time.
By about 17 years.
The convict Edward Macon departed at
about 4 this afternoon and is still at large.
Prison officials are confident he'll
be back in custody by tomorrow.
Sports in a minute.
But now this.
Doesn't your family deserve the very best?
The whitest whites the brightest colors.
Give your family best.
Family.
That's the key.
Right, Nicky boy?
Find the family.
Win the prize.
Honey.
Daddy and I are going to
talk to the doctor, okay.
Be nice to the nurses.
We'll be back real soon.
Give mummy a kiss.
Take care of your daddy's boat alright.
Talk to you later Bobby.
Yes, I know this is scary.
It's gonna require some spinal
medication, some chemotherapy.
It's not gonna be any picknick for Bobby.
We caught it early.
And it's curable.
I think there's nothing for you to do
except keep your hopes up, say your prayers.
And we'll take care of him at the hospital.
We finished paying for Bobby's
treatment it's going to be another 4 years
before we're able to save
up the down payment again.
We'll just wait a little longer.
We'll handle it.
Four more years of taking orders?
Busting my back for somebody else is just that
boat was our ticket out of here you know that.
It's gonna work out.
We came so close.
Eddie, we're gonna make it.
We just need time.
I love you.
Sit down relax Banes.
Lie to me once and I take
your freaking head off.
Yes, Sir.
I mean, no Sir, boss.
Doesn't it seem kind of funny that a kid
like Macon all of a sudden saddles for Rodeo.
I haven't really thought about it.
How long has he been planning this
break?
Beats me, I'm mostly try
to mind my own business.
Get up!
Answer me straight or you
piss blood for a month.
You know Macon's was gonna run.
I swear to God I didn't know boss,
he didn't tell me nothing.
If he did I would have gone direct to the...
Sergeant.
I believe you.
Did he have any hobbies?
Hobbies?
Anything unusual?
The library.
He went there a lot.
Running.
He ran all the time, every day, every chance.
Is that your mural there?
That there, yes Sir.
That's Macon's.
Yes Sir.
That one right there.
Truth is I never really
liked him all that much.
Always a cry baby and I'm
about how he didn't belong here.
Seems to me that after 3 years
you learn to take it like a man.
When's the last time he had a visitor?
His old lady.
Except in the last week.
Maybe she run out on him.
Maybe that's why he took off.
What do you think boss?
I think you're an a**hole.
Yes, sure, boss.
Flowers, animals, birds, survival
manuals, anything about the desert.
And maps. Good God, he's
stared at them for hours.
