Escape From Alcatraz Page #3

- Me, too.

I wanna go.

Charley.

Yeah?

I'm gonna start digging.

Keep an eye out.

If you see one,

start whistling, huh?

How's it going?

Fair.

Whoever named this place

The Rock wasn't kidding.

Working with those nail clippers

just doesn't have any grip.

Hey, guard.

Yeah?

Can l exchange this spoon? Looks

like it's been in someone's ass.

And l want to work in the kitchen.

- Go ahead.

- Thank you.

I'd like to join the kitchen detail.

Can you cook?

Can l swap this spoon for another?

Damn right l can cook.

I used to be a cook in this cafe.

Everybody loved my meatballs.

Did you quit or get fired?

Neither. l robbed the cafe.

- Heard you had a visitor.

- My daughter.

She's getting married.

He's white...

just like you.

Congratulations.

- Want a magazine?

- Yeah. What do you recommend?

Ebony.

Hey, English.

Is it possible to weld two pieces

of metal together here in the cell?

For digging... or sticking?

Digging.

It ain't easy, but l could show you.

Planning on going somewhere?

There hasn't been a day

that I've been on this rock

that l didn't think of busting out.

If I'd known, I'd have slashed

my throat instead of my tendon.

Hey, Litmus, can you get me a dime?

No problem. Cost you 10 desserts.

I need it tonight.

No problem. Cost you an extra five.

Get me a dime, I'll toss in

Thanks.

Hey, Frank, what's burning?

If you see one of those bulls

coming, just start whistling.

Hey, Spoof, what's for breakfast?

I smell something burning.

I don't smell anything.

Hell, must be my imagination.

Working nights

really gets to you after a while.

Try it from my side.

Keep an eye out. He may be back.

The grille's welded

on two-hook anchors?

If l get a wedge l may be able

to knock those anchors loose.

This might just be

what I'm looking for.

But it won't get through

the metal detector.

Yeah, l know.

Morris, hold it.

I made it for a clothes-peg.

Why the metal over the edge?

So the clothes would slide off easy.

I don't believe you.

I didn't try to hide it. Why would l

try to take metal through a detector?

Because you're stupid.

Move it.

Open up 107.

Why did you order this stuff?

You don't look like a painter.

You wouldn't know talent

if it looked you in the face.

I'm looking you in the face

and l don't see sh*t.

Hair. Your color.

Frank.

Paint. One of them's flesh-colored.

What are you painting?

I don't know. The ocean maybe.

If you're using flesh-colored paint,

you better paint a portrait.

Yeah.

Frank.

Frank.

Morris go to sleep early tonight?

Yeah. Wasn't feeling well.

He must sleep pretty soundly.

He hasn't moved.

Morris?

Yeah, what's up?

I went up top last night.

I saw the ventilator shaft

to the roof, but l can't reach it.

I need a boost.

How are you all coming?

My dummy's ready.

The hole's done,

but I'm just starting the dummy.

I ain't doing too good.

Tonight, John and l will go up.

You get those raincoats,

might as well start hauling them up.

I'll wear one back

from the shop each day.

There's a different hack

there in the afternoon.

He'll think l wore it to work.

- Can you get that contact cement?

- l keep inventory.

Hey!

Give me a boost.

The bars feel pretty solid.

There seems to be a metal hood

riveted onto higher uprights.

We'll spread the bars

with a pipe and knock the hood off.

There's an electrical outlet here.

Get a motor, a drill bit and

a flashlight and we'd have it all.

Great.

Where's the nearest hardware store?

Can you get me an extension cord

and a drill bit from the shop?

If they find out, l go to the hole.

All right, but from now on,

you put your desserts onto my tray.

Time's up. Back to the cells.

Damn it! Just when

I thought we was doing good.

I can use this.

Are you crazy?

Hold it, Morris.

Want to look at one of those cases.

Try this one.

Let's open it up.

Stole this penlight from the Doc.

Hey.

Give me a boost.

Pipe.

Okay. Hand me the drill.

We're all through.

Fire!

Hey, 50-millimetre guns.

I'm worried about the shakedowns.

My cardboard grille

keeps slipping out.

Put some contact cement

around the edges.

That should take care of it.

How's the raft

and the life jackets coming?

Okay.

I think they'll be done Tuesday.

Tuesday night, we go.

What's that for?

Just thinking about Doc.

Yeah. We planted

those chrysanthemums 15 years ago.

They meant a lot to Doc. To me, too.

- l had a garden.

- What'd you grow, weeds?

It's against regulations,

Morris, and you know it.

Stretcher.

Get the medic.

He won't need one.

Some men are destined

never to leave Alcatraz...

alive.

Got those books that may help you.

Thanks.

See you later, man.

Goodbye... boy.

So long... boy.

Shakedown.

Move.

Move, move, move.

Take a seat.

- Been playing this thing long?

- Couple of months.

- You any good?

- Terrible.

You'll get better.

Excuse me.

That's one of the benefits

of Alcatraz.

Lots of time to practice.

Has Morris

been doing anything unusual?

Sometimes he stays up late

talking with Butts.

Split them up. Move Morris.

I'll have to get a cell ready

and do the paperwork.

- Do you?

- Yes, sir.

We could move him, say, Wednesday.

- Tuesday morning.

- Yes, sir.

I missed you, Morris.

I missed you so much,

I got a present for you.

I'll give it to you...later.

Get your ass back there.

He'll kill you,

or you'll have to kill him.

Well, I'm not going

to give him the chance.

Can you get the raft

and life jackets ready by tonight?

All right.

We'll meet on top

as soon as the lights are out.

- Wolf, you carrying?

- Who, me?

Move out.

Where you going, Wolfie?

I'm just going for a walk.

Let's take that walk.

After six months in the hole,

looks like you could

use some exercise.

Butts.

I'll meet you up on top.

Let's go.

Yeah. You're going, too.

Butts.

Butts, God damn it.

Can't risk tearing this gear,

what's left of it.

Throw me the stuff when l get over.

Watch the barbed wire.

Get up, Morris. It's moving day.

I said, get up, Morris. Open up 109.

God damn it, Morris. l said get...

Jesus Christ.

Morning, Sergeant. What have you got?

Photos and a notebook

of Clarence Anglin's.

Funny looking bag.

Must have been made from a raincoat.

- It appears that they drowned.

- Why?

If that was important

they wouldn't have lost it.

Maybe they lost it

to look like they drowned.

Warden, l just got a message

from the Director.

He wants you in Washington.

Do chrysanthemums grow

on this island?

Not here on Angel Island. Why?

I'm curious.

The tides were mild

and the fog light last night.

If they left at lights out,

they had a 9 1/2-hour head start.

I wonder if they made it.

They drowned.

Yes, sir.

A massive search was conducted for

Frank Morris, John and Clarence Anglin.

Law enforcement agencies were certain

they would find the bodies. They never did.

Alcatraz was closed less than a year later.
