But these guys?

They're on their own

and once I'm gone, that's it.

So, ya in or out?

Good luck.

Hey, I didn't mean that.

Now what?

Well, Miss Walker,

so glad I caught you.

I never received a copy

of your accident report.

Accident?

Well, you are filing a report regarding

the prisoner's death?

Standard procedure

for the warden to check details

for accuracy

before submission to the board.

Well, I'm sure you'll find it

extremely accurate.

I was there.

I'll make you a copy in the morning.

Well, I'd like to digest this

for a couple a days.

Thank you, Miss Walker,

good night.

Come on, Tiny, one more time,

double or nothin'.

Come on.

I own you.

Let's go.

I got you, I got you, I got you.

Mm-mm!

Get away from me

you son of a b*tch.

You're dead!

Cresus, it's me.

It's m...

I'm sorry, kid.

Who in the hell

you think it was?

Somebody I haven't seen

in a very long time.

Warden Sharpe?

Sir, the power's down

all over the prison.

I want a special count

and lockdown right away.

Yes, sir.

Let's get the lights on!

Damn it, I want silence on this block!

You know that, move it!

Good.

Get those lanterns up there

on those tiers.

Get some light up there.

Help these guys quiet down

the prisoners.

Here we go baby, daddy's it.

Don't do it, Rabbit, I know

you're never gonna leave this place.

You watch me, baby.

Hey,

put that in a plate

and pray for me, okay?

Lazaro, Joseph.

Yo, Adrian.

You in there, Riddle?

What's wrong, Cap?

You can't see me in the dark?

Cresus, Burton?

I haven't gone no place.

Hmm, and you ain't either.

You notice that, Burke?

Sir?

You ever need a hand again,

you just let me know.

Get the f*** in your bed!

I ought to drag his lazy butt

outta the sack

after all the trouble

he caused me.

Why don't you let him sleep?

You can kick his ass

in the yard tomorrow.

He can count on it.

Somebody didn't pay the bills?

Chango,

help the rabbit find his way home.

Glasses.

Hey, hey!

So, I guess Rabbit did it

last night, huh?

Hey, you guys hear

about the escape?

Hey, man, you want

to say that again?

I don't think the warden heard you.

We don't even know

if he got out yet.

Well...

I'd feel it if he made it.

He didn't.

Not bad for window dressings,

eh, Miss Walker?

What makes you so sure, freak?

Because I'm smart, baby.

Hey!

Damn.

Captain Horton, you get these men

back to the cell block!

This time I want to know

who's here and who's not

or your f***in' job's on the line!

All right, move it on out of here!

Let's go, move it!

I don't care if you have to turn

this place inside out.

But I want a weapon,

I want a motive.

And I want a full confession

from a prisoner by nightfall.

Dismissed.

Kramer, escort Miss Walker to her car.

Warden Sharpe, you're not gonna

shut me out again?

Miss Walker,

I don't think this is a safe place

for you during lockdown.

This is the second inmate death

and it is imperative

that I get all the details.

Now you and I both have

a responsibility to the board

to report any incident...

Miss Walker, I don't need you

to remind me

of my responsibilities as warden!

Now, you and the board

will be apprised of the results

of my investigation.

That's all.

We'll see if that's all, warden.

Let's go.

Warden,

All right, listen up!

Somebody here's made two mistakes.

The second was taking the life

of a fellow prisoner.

The first was

underestimating my ability

to deal with the situation.

Now, if you insist

on slaughtering

each other like animals,

that's exactly the way

you're gonna be treated

unless one of ya's man enough

to step forward.

Captain Horton,

I want you to assemble these

inmates on the yard

at 8 o'clock tonight...

with their mattresses.

You guys stand back,

that's enough.

Now you don't have cells,

you have cages.

One of you could have saved the rest

considerable discomfort.

He still can if he'll step forward

and admit his guilt.

Captain Horton!

Sir?

Strip 'em down for a body search.

All right, you heard the warden.

Strip down to your skivvies.

Do it!

Since this man won't step forward,

it's up to you to cough him up.

And you'll stay out here until you do.

I'll be in my office if anybody

has anything to say.

Hello?

Oh, Joe, thank God

you called back.

You're damn right there's a problem.

I know you never received

your accident report from Sharpe

and you never will.

Yes, it happened just like I said.

Joe, the man is outta control.

I think we should shut down

the prison immediately.

I know what I'm asking, Joe,

but that kind of proof

could take months.

Joe... the prisoners are not safe.

Yeah.

Yeah, right.

Bye.

You wanna eat leather for breakfast

or you wanna get up?

Get up.

Then why don't you do it?

Why don't you move your foot, sir?

Are we having fun?

This n*gger broke formation.

You made your point.

You got a problem?

Just fine, Cap'n.

Just fine.

Been a long night.

Go get some coffee.

Sh*t.

I'll be right back.

Wallace!

What the hell's going on in there?

Open up!

What the...

Help me!

Horton, Horton, get up here!

God damn it, Ethan,

what's happened?

It's real.

Don't even try it, Cap'n.

I'll spoil that uniform of yours,

I promise.

Look at the guns, Cresus.

I don't give a f***.

I want to see Ethan Sharpe.

Right now.

Come on, Cresus.

Give it up.

Can't do it, son.

Hey, Ethan.

I missed you

at the party last night.

I been meaning to talk to you

about transferring me outta here.

I know that look, Ethan.

You're as scared as I am.

Ever since you set eyes

on this boy here,

now everything coming down

on your ass.

Shoot him.

Hey, man, shut up!

Hey, Cresus, man,

don't shoot him.

Man, a man would be crazy

to stay in this place.

And one thing I ain't,

and that's crazy.

Now, you guys,

don't take nothin' from Ethan.

I watched that man kill someone.

Get him off the yard!

Don't, don't let me die

behind these walls.

Promise, promise!

You get a f***in' ambulance.

Red, take that man,

send him to the hole.

- Take it easy!

- Sh*t.

Muzzle him!

Let him go, man.

Start total lockdown!

'Til further notice,

nobody comes or goes!

This prison is sealed tight!

Total silence during

the lockdown, a**holes!

Total silence!

Hey, Tiny, come here, man.

The lights are out.

The f***in' juice is off, man.

They can't even keep us locked in.

Hey, Kramer, pay

the f***in' light bill!

Damn it!

Get Captain Horton, now!

Prepare to fire canister!

You guys get ready to move out

and lock 'em down!

Fire!

My eyes!

Put this over your eyes!

Last one!

We're gonna die for sure!

With a beauty so unexpected,

it has been honored

by Tiffany and Company

with this gold medal.

Never before has Tiffany given

an award to any automobile...

Never until Mustang.

And yet the price...

an unexpected $2,368, FOB Detroit.

And we're not fooling

about that price.

Because for $2,368, you get features

that cost extra in many other cars.

Son of a b*tch.

Lasagna, baby,
