Oh, God. I'm jumping.

Man, there's rats in here.

- All right. I'm all right. No!

- What?

- This way. It's a shortcut to the plant.

- It's this way.

No, man, I remember the map.

It's this way. I'm positive. Let's go!

D.T.A., Frank.

Ain't that what you taught me, man?

D.T.A.

Right on schedule, Frank.

I'm sorry, man.

You were my ticket out of here.

Damn you!

You had me set up the whole time?!

Not the whole time. I got

The warden made me a deal.

Dumb bastard!

They made me a deal, man!

A deal!

We don't make deals

with escaping prisoners.

What the hell are you talking about?

- You said if I delivered...

- Shut up.

- You're going back to the population.

- Population?

You can't do this to me, warden.

You can't do this.

I snitched him off.

They're gonna kill me. I'm finished.

Tough.

Look, I came through, goddamn it!

We had a deal!

That's enough.

You're gonna kill him.

That's enough.

This is an automatic 10 years, Frank.

It's 10 years for a second

escape attempt.

I knew you'd cross the line. I told

them you were a hard-core criminal.

They'll believe me now.

And you better believe me.

You better believe that you'll

be doing hard time here...

...for the rest of your life.

Manly, you know what to do.

Some dealmaker.

See...

...sh*t does float, doesn't it?

Hey, you know what else?

You don't have to worry about

that psycho hurting your girlfriend.

We decided to keep him in here.

Didn't we, officer?

She's not my type.

We'll teach him a lesson.

We'll graduate you with honours.

We'll teach him a lesson.

We'll graduate you with honours.

Turn on the steam.

Turn on the f***ing steam!

Put him in it.

Get him in there.

Bring him in here! Come on!

Come on!

Rape this.

My face! My face is burning!

My face!

I'll kill you!

School's out, punk.

Frank.

Frank, don't leave me here, man.

I'm sorry.

Take me with you.

Let him go, Manly.

Let him go.

What are you gonna do with that?

You okay, Frank?

I'm okay, Dallas.

You can trust me, Frank.

You can trust me.

- Put it down, Dallas.

- Put it down.

- I won't hurt you anymore.

- Oh, yeah?

- You don't wanna do it.

- You fat piece of sh*t.

Don't do it, Dallas.

- What, are you trying to scare me?

- Dallas, don't.

- You won't do it.

- Oh, yeah?

- You don't got the balls to do it, punk.

- You're wrong.

- Stoolie.

- You're wrong.

- Put it down.

- You're wrong!

No!

Switch to backup. Sir, we've got

a power outage in C-wing.

Get some men to that utility quarter.

You better have a good reason for not

telling me you knew Leone was escaping.

I've got a dead officer and

a dead inmate.

And I don't have any answers.

Do you?

I was trying to save an informant's

life by keeping it secret.

Why would a man who's got

three weeks to go try to break out?

We can ask him

when we catch him.

Busted cable, utility corridor.

He's going to the roof.

Bring up zone two.

Can't you get any more light in there?

Captain Meissner.

This is Osner.

I'm in the well room.

Looks like this is where he went out.

Sir, that has got to be at least

- Do you really think he made it?

- Maybe not, Mr. Braden.

But until you bring me a body,

I've got an escaped prisoner.

- This is Drumgoole. I want sector four.

- Meissner, sector four.

- What do you have?

- Right now, nothing, sir.

I'm thinking of calling in the

local and state police.

No! No outside agencies.

I repeat, no outside agencies.

This is an internal matter.

He's alive, I want him.

- Arm a tactical squad and meet me.

- Yes, sir.

Mr. Braden, you will

continue this search.

You won't get away with it.

You know that, don't you?

I could've got out.

But I'm not going to spend my life...

...running from you.

Paul, look at this.

Get your ass inside.

Whoa, hold it.

- You can't use me as a hostage...

- Shut up! Shut up!

You recognize that chair?

You built it, didn't you?

Now get in there. Get in there!

Don't even think about moving.

You think you're gonna take me

to hell, huh? I'll show you hell!

All right, over there.

Move your leg!

Dallas, he fried,

the way you're gonna fry.

First Base, you took him downstairs,

you broke his goddamn neck!

I'm gonna fry your brains.

What do you know? It's a perfect fit.

Move! Move!

You can't make this work.

You're not smart enough. You're stupid.

You're scum.

Shut up! I'll show you scum.

You can't kill a man. You're not

a murderer. You don't have the guts.

Ten more years.

Isn't that what you said?

How about 20?

How about 30?

No, it doesn't matter what they give

me because you won't be satisfied...

...till you got me for life.

Make a hole.

Take it down!

I ain't doing life for nothing.

Come on. Lean on it, man!

They're gonna break that door down.

And they're going to take

your skull apart!

You're going to beg me

to let them kill you.

- Come on, break it down!

- Meissner!

Harder, man. Harder!

Come on, lean on it.

No!

No!

Take out the glass!

Shoot! Shoot me!

- Don't shoot!

- Shoot!

He has his hand taped to the lever.

No!

- Don't shoot!

- Hold your fire. Hold your fire.

Come on, shoot!

Hold your fire!

Relax. Just relax.

Glad you're here, Meissner. This

wouldn't be official without witnesses.

He's bluffing. He's wants me to take

responsibility for his escape attempt.

I don't want a confession.

You set me up. You set everything up!

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- I'm talking about Chink Weber!

The goons.

The cop that was gonna rape Melissa.

Dallas.

The killing of the kid.

Guilty on all counts.

Prove it! That's your problem.

You can't prove anything.

I don't have to prove nothing.

I came here for an execution.

I demand to be released from here!

No!

Don't do it, Leone. Don't do it.

Take it easy.

You deserve payback.

Frank!

Please, Frank.

Don't kill me. It's true.

I confess, Mr. Meissner.

Everything that he said was true.

I set him up. Everything.

Please.

Don't kill me.

Don't...

See you in hell, Drumgoole.

Works better with this.

Take him to the hole, Mr. Meissner.

Mr. Braden, take the prisoner

to the hole.

- Cuff him.

- Yes, sir.

Somebody get me

out of this chair.

Come on.

Thank you, Mr. Meissner.

I said take him to the hole.

I can't do that.

Take the warden into custody.

- I said take him. What are you doing?

- Cuff him.

Stop it! I am warden of this institution,

and you will obey... Stop that!

That was just a stupid confession to

try and save my life. Are you crazy?

No, but you are.

Until this matter's resolved in a judicial

inquiry, you'll remain in our custody.

I'll have your ass for this.

I'll have your ass.

Move him!

I only wanted to do my time, captain.

You'll get your chance.

Move him.

Hey, Ernie.

Hang in there, Frank.

Hey, Frank?

- Eclipse.

- Take care.

You too. Thanks a lot, big man.

Yeah. That okay?

It's all right.

Got this one from

Fidel Castro himself.

- See you, big man.

- Okay.

Hold it.

Crack the outside!

- Know what I'll miss most about you?
