Motherf***er.

Yeah.

I love this guy, don't you?

I love this guy.

Sh*t.

You want a drink?

Nah.

Got the habit of drinking

Lysol in Gainesville...

in '49.

You ever been to Florida?

Nah.

Eh, I never saw the beach.

Ten years in Kansas...

never saw the Royals

play a game.

This your first state rap?

Lockdown.

Lockdown.

Yeah, I thought so.

You got the face

of a lifer, though.

Do yourself a favor, car thief.

Make this your last stretch.

Thanks for the advice.

Closing A-block.

Close A-block.

Why me?

I'm gonna need you in here.

I want to see the electrical

blueprints for the entire prison!

Sure.

You don't have

to blow my head off.

I'm sorry, Carl.

I haven't been able to...

Had a tough time...

sleeping lately.

Everything quiet on the block?

Yeah, just like it always is

on the first night.

Yes.

First few days

are always the quietest.

They haven't had a...

chance to form cliques.

They can be managed

when they're disorganized.

I'll stay on top of 'em.

Yes.

Why don't you get some rest?

Thank you, Carl.

Lotta work ahead of us.

Yeah.

Lotta work.

Lotta work.

What the hell's that?

What?

That key you were drawing.

It was a key, right?

Maybe.

To this place?

- Might be.

- No sh*t.

How do you know?

I looked.

You looked?

I thought boostin' cars

was your thing.

Well, a car ain't nuttin'

but a series a locks.

Older the lock,

easier it is.

And this place is old.

Yeah.

All right, let's move it!

...work assignments,

tier 1 report to the tool shed.

Tier 1 line up and report

to the tool shed.

We don't have anybody

to dole out water during the day.

That's your detail, Rhino, sign this.

All right.

Sounds good to me, sir.

The kid's with me, right?

Sure.

Here.

Come on, kid.

You know how to use that thing?

You come with me.

You too.

Let's go.

Baby, sure smells

like a tomb in here.

You're not far off.

Warden wants

this broken through.

What's on the other side?

Execution chamber.

Let me know

when you're finished.

Okay, Captain.

Hey, Johnson.

Or maybe the boogey-man.

You ain't scared, are you, sir?

Get to work.

Yes, sir.

Hi, I'm Katherine Walker

from the state board.

Sharpe here.

Katherine Walker

at the main gate.

Oh, it's all right.

Send her in.

Whoa, hey, help, help!

Uh!

You okay?

Kana.

Bad spirit.

- Burke?

- What?

Something grab hold of me.

Yeah, I did.

No, something else.

What?

I shook its hand.

Here, help this man.

God, what's happening

around here?

I shook its hand.

What?

Warden wanted

a door knocked down.

What's you guys use,

an atom bomb?

Warden Sharpe wanted in

to the old execution chamber.

We had to knock through a wall.

Must a hit a gas main or somethin'.

Execution chamber.

It's not as though we don't have

ten zillion other things

to do around here.

Maybe he's got special plans for us.

God, I could use a smoke.

I could use a smoke, Hersh.

Hersh?

I got some smokes for ya, buddy.

Some nice, long, nicotine smokes.

See, one a day'll carry me

through the week.

Yeah, well, a helluva lot of good

that does me, baby.

The hell with you, Rabbit!

You hear me?

I want you to suffer.

You're a piece a brown garbage.

I got 12 inches

a brown garbage all for you.

Why don't you come

over here and get it?

Ah, and the matches.

You gotta have matches, Rabbit,

or ya can't light up.

Yeah, there's nothin'

like a good ol' smoke.

Hey, baby, you light up yet?

Hey, cut the light off, man!

Get the light outta my eyes!

Who put the light in my face?

Get this sh*t outta my eyes,

my eyes burn!

What's wrong in there, Hershey?

Hey, cut that sh*t out!

You hear me?

What the f*** is wrong in there?

Rabbit, Rabbit, my hands, man!

Oh, sh*t!

What's wrong,

what's happening in there?

Oh, sh*t!

My hands, Rabbit!

The floor...

something's going on with the floor!

Sh*t.

Oh, sh*t.

Rabbit, help!

Help!

Jesus Christ, Hersh,

what you smokin' in there?

Oh, Rabbit... Rabbit, everything

is burstin' smoke, man!

Something's got

all over the floor, Rabbit!

Help me! Where the f*** can

I turn off the God damn...

Jailor! God damn!

Hey, Horton!

Horton, what the hell's goin' on?

The men in those two cells,

get 'em out!

- Horton.

- Captain.

There's a fire in solitary.

Help Wallace get

those inmates out of there.

Yes, sir!

Sh*t.

Please help me, somebody!

Help me, please help me!

We're coming!

No, stay back!

Stay back, th-th-there's

nothing we can do.

F*** it's hot in here!

- Drop em!

- Let him go!

Help me!

Stupidity never has impressed me.

Why should a short-term con risk

his life for a vermin like Rabbit?

I'll guarantee you one thing,

this, uh, stunt of yours won't

cut you any play with the parole board.

Hand me my towel please.

How ya' doin?

Good.

How you been?

I'm hangin' in there.

- That mail sitch is f***ed, isn't it?

- Yeah.

You waitin' on any love letters?

No.

No?

Well, when we get

mail privileges back,

I'm gonna get my sister Angie

to send you a picture.

Well, don't go to any trouble

on my account.

Hey, what trouble?

I mean, you're a celebrity, ain't ya'?

Look around.

Everybody's checkin' us out.

- I know.

- I'm serious.

Good looking Italian girl

under your arms.

We'll double when I get out.

Maybe.

Yo!

You're a f***in' fool.

I'm one of the smartest people

on this yard.

This is a private conversation, wop.

Now, what you did the other day

took a lot a heart.

And that's why I need

to talk to you, hero.

I need a couple men with heart

to run my poker tables,

make a few collections.

Now, you can make

a nice piece a change at this.

And the fringe benefits

aren't bad neither.

'Cause nights around here

can be short or long.

And you... you got a choice

on how you want to spend

your time in the dark.

Yeah, well, I always manage

to sleep like a baby.

Look here, hero,

you start messin' in my business,

you start thinkin' this sh*t's

gonna get you any good,

and I'll tear

your f***in' a**hole out.

You hear me?

If you need time

to think about it,

I'll give you time.

So, what do you think?

Okay.

Let me tell you somethin'.

I always make it a real point

to mind my own business.

Maybe you ought

to try that for a while.

Start right now.

You give me back my ball,

I'll give you yours.

What the f***

you smilin' at, b*tch!

Let's get outta here.

Hey!

Buddy boy.

How's my main man?

Is everybody suckin' up to you

'cause you hauled my ass outta there?

Right?

Right.

I really got big plans

for you and me, baby... big.

Do you mind?

Yeah, I mind.

Well, then keep your mouth

shut on this, wop.

No, no, no, I'm saying that

'cause this is on the hush-hush.

I ain't givin' this place

another chance.

I'm gettin' the f***

outta here tonight.

Why don't you, uh, wait

'til everything, uh, cools down...

No, no, no... tonight.

Hey, Rabbit.

You know you're gonna

get everybody in a lot of trouble.

Hey, how ya doin'?

Hey, f*** everybody else.

You can come with me

if you want, maybe you.
