any one group.
It's 3,000 idle men
with nothing to do but brood and plot.
You can't put them
all in solitary.
We can crush them.
That's what's
happening to them right now.
We've tried
to crush them, with this result.
Search every corner
of this prison,
but you find
those guns.
Don't worry, sir.
If those guns
are here,
i'll have them
on your desk
before
thanksgiving day.
And now to record
our thankfulness
on this glad
thanksgiving day,
let us rise and sing
hymn number 84.
Ring the bells of heaven
there is joy today
a lost lamb is returning
from his sinful way
glory, glory
how the angels sing
glory, glory
loud hosannas ring
with songs of thanksgiving
let our voices ring
today's the day
hear the angels sing
open the gates
and let the king
of glory in
open the gates
and let the king
of glory in
and now let us kneel
in prayer.
Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done
on earth
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day
our daily bread
and forgive us
our trespasses,
as we forgive those
and lead us not
into temptation,
but deliver us
from evil,
for thine is the kingdom
and the power and the glory
forever and ever. Amen.
The lord bless you and keep you,
both now and forevermore.
Amen.
Noon.
Noon, swede.
Noon.
Come on, scram.
Butch,
what's the dope?
Noon. Watch me.
Don't go through
with it, butch. It's a trap.
They'll get you.
We'll get through,
if someone don't double-cross us.
They'll
mow you down.
Wallace.
Morgan?
Yes, sir.
I want
to see you in my office.
Yes, sir.
Who's in on this break?
I don't know anything
about a break.
Morgan, you're a liar.
They've got guns
hidden somewhere.
You know
where they are.
If i did,
i wouldn't tell you.
What kind of a rat
do you think i am?
Not even if we opened
the gates for you?
Is that all you've
got to say to me?
I'll have plenty
to say to you later.
Hold him here.
I can't get anything
out of morgan, sir.
Don't worry.
I've got the dope from kent.
The break
is set for noon.
Noon? Just one minute.
What are they going to do?
Kent couldn't
tell me.
I've doubled
the gun guard.
Don't you worry.
We've got them.
Where is he?
Why doesn't he
come?
There he is.
Frost is killing
the flowers,
so i picked
a whole lot today.
Make a big bunch,
don't they?
Fine. Thank you.
Grab all those guns.
Get those screws
and take them to the cellar.
O.k., butch.
Joe! Joe!
What do you
want, butch?
We've been
double-crossed!
Yes! Morgan
done it. Morgan!
I'll get that guy
if it's the last thing i do.
Joe! Get those screws,
put them in the hole.
We'll need them later.
Come on, you guys.
Come on.
Get in there!
Any of you guys
not with us, come on, clear out of here!
Come on,
get out of here.
They're making it
hot for us.
We'll fix them.
Go and get sandy!
Come here, sandy.
Come out of there.
Come on.
Get over there.
Over there.
Come on.
You go to the warden.
Tell him to
open those gates and let us go through.
If he don't,
we're going
to bump off every screw in here
and throw them
out in the yard.
Beginning
with wallace.
Yes, beginning
with wallace.
Here, take that gun.
Hang that out that gate.
All right. Open it
just a little bit.
Not much!
All right. Come on.
Put it through there.
All right. Come on.
Come out.
Get to moving, you.
Get out there.
Butch said if you
didn't open the gate and let the gang out,
that they're going
to kill all the guards beginning with wallace.
I'll see them
in hell first.
Let them have it.
Come on out of there, wallace. Come on! Shake it up!
Wallace, you said your prayers?
I don't know any prayers.
Go ahead, shoot.
Aah!
Wallace!
Miller! Miller!
Give them the gas bomb.
Open those gates
and let us go through,
or we'll send
the rest of these screws straight to hell!
You dirty double-crosser!
They'll get you for this!
Shut up!
Butch! Joe!
Joe! Joe! Get me
another screw out of there!
What's the matter,
kid?
Morgan locked the door.
He's got the key!
Butch!
Butch, come here.
Morgan's got the key.
He's locked the door.
They'll kill me.
They'll kill me!
I didn't mean to squeal!
I didn't mean to-
they made me do it!
They made me!
Don't tell butch. He'll kill me!
So you double-crossed
the gang, huh?
You turned them in?
Don't let them
get me, morgan!
Don't let them
get me!
I guess you're not
to blame, at that.
You stay
where you are.
I'll attend to this gang.
Don't tell butch.
I didn't mean to do it!
The army tanks
are here, sir.
All right.
Send them in.
What's that?
We'll get the rope
for this,
but i'm going to get
that rat morgan
if it's
the last thing i do.
Where's morgan?
Morgan, you in there? Come out of there, you rat!
Come out of there,
you rats!
Get out of there! Come on!
Is morgan there?
No!
All right.
Is morgan in there?
I know what you're
coming for, butch,
but i'm not going
to be killed
for something
i didn't do.
If you come
one step nearer...
he shot me
in the arm, butch!
I warned you, joe!
I didn't double-cross the gang.
You stick your head
out of that door,
and i'll throw a slug
between your horns.
Stand back, pop!
Shut up!
I'll tell him.
Butch,
this is pop riker.
You're all wrong,
butch.
Morgan didn't
turn you in.
Even the screws
are protecting him.
Come on. Let's
go in and get him.
Wait, butch. My eyes!
I must be losing
my sight. I'm going blind!
You're all right.
It's only the gas.
Morgan, we're coming
after you, you snake.
I warn you, butch.
Stay where you are! Stay where you are!
Joe! Joe!
Bring me some more
bullets, joe.
Oh!
Sorry, butch.
Did i get you?
I'm on my feet,
see?
Don't lie to me.
Who, me?
Yes, you.
Listen, butch.
It was kent who sold out
the gang, not morgan.
Kent?
You know i wouldn't
double-cross you, butch.
Sure, i know
you wouldn't.
I was
only kidding, that's all.
Just kidding.
Just...
sure.
I knew that
all the time.
I want to
thank you, warden, for all you've done.
All ready for
a new start, morgan?
Yes, sir, i am.
Have you made
any plans for your future?
Yes, sir.
I thought i'd
go to the islands of some new country
and take up
government lands.
Good idea.
New friends,
new surroundings,
hard work- that's a man's salvation.
Are you going
alone?
Well, i don't know,
sir.
Good-bye.
I wish you luck. You deserve it.
Thank you, warden.
Well, so long, pop.
So long, morgan.
See that you don't
get homesick again.
