The Last Castle Page #8

Why do you think I should help you?

Can you get me out of here?

- No.

- Then what are you going to do for me?

Oh, you're going to make me a soldier

again? Is that what you're doing?

I get to be all I can be?

You gonna teach me to salute?

You know what? This is about

the time I would be giving you

my internal soldier speech.

But the truth is, you probably

never should have been a soldier.

Your father was.

That's how I saw him.

You saw him as a disappointment.

Okay. Get past it.

That was then.

The only thing that matters here is...

what we are now

and what we do now.

This man is going to you

because he sees the worst in you.

He's going to play for the worst.

I want to see the best.

That means there's no middle.

Now, these men need you.

And I need you.

Now, it's your choice.

And don't tell me

you're surviving here, Yates.

- You're hiding.

- [Scoffs]

[Chuckling]

- How's it going this evening, sir?

- Fine, Sergeant. How are you?

Sir?

Prisoner Yates

wishes to have a word.

Give me five minutes, Captain.

- [Door Closes]

- [Clears Throat] Hi.

- Hi.

- [Ringing]

Colonel Winter's office.

Yeah. Yeah, go ahead

and just send it up.

[Door Opening, Closing]

Sir.

- Sir?

- Yes.

Prisoner Yates.

[Sighs]

You want me to do

this thing for you?

This 30 days-- This three months,

it's not gonna cut it.

I got to get out of here immediately.

I got to get out of here tomorrow.

I'm afraid

that's not possible.

Look, when this thing explodes,

everyone's gonna know it's me who yakked.

And then my life's

worth nothing.

So, either you get me out

of here immediately...

or you find another guy

who knows as much as I do...

and who's willing to spill it.

Good luck.

The soonest I can get you out

is one week.

Sir, I'm not gonna last--

I won't last seven seconds

let alone seven days.

Well, you can ride

the week out in the hole.

No one will

get you there.

So what does Mr. Irwin

have planned for us?

He's planning

to take over the prison.

Really.

Well, that information

won't get you released.

That information won't even get

you extra potatoes at lunch.

I know the details.

I know how he plans

to neutralize your men,

how he plans to take over the tower,

weapons and tools he's building.

- Do you know when?

- [Cutbush] Yates,

I know you're in there!

- Yates! Yates, I know you're in there!

- [Guard] Cutbush!

You're a f***er, Yates!

You are gonna snitch!

Cutbush, shut up!

Cutbush, get down!

Shut up! Niebolt,

what's he doing up here?

- He brought up the laundry,

and he went ape, sir.

- All right. Enough!

Place this man in the SHU.

No one talks to him.

No one sees him.

- Understand me?

Place a guard on his cell.

- Yes, sir!

- Damn rat!

- What's the problem?

My mother's sick.

I'm trying to get a furlough.

- Shut up!

- Get him out of here!

Captain, with me.

[Exhales Sharply]

Oh, Jesus, man.

Now you have no choice,

or you're going to spend the next

three years in solitary confinement.

[Exhales]

I need more time.

I got to go back into general.

I'll know somethin' tomorrow.

Come get me at 0500.

I need more time!

Inmates, one step to the rear.

March!

[Bell Rings]

[Man Singing, Indistinct]

[Singing Continues]

- Sir?

- Where's Yates' cell?

It's 340, sir.

You ready to play?

- Morning, sir.

- Fallout.

Colonel?

Colonel.

Good morning.

Good morning.

So, what do you

have for me?

- Not much.

- Not much.

Then why are you here?

I thought there was something

you might wanna know.

When they take over the prison,

they're going to fly the flag

upside down.

- Upside down?

- It's the international

sign of distress, sir.

Yes, I know what it means.

And where are they

going to get a flag?

They already have it. Yours.

Mine.

- Peretz, who was in here yesterday?

- I took it, you murdering f***.

I thought you

were smarter than that.

Yes, I know you did.

[Groans]

You gonna tell us

where that flag is?

Come on. Get up, Yates.

Where's the flag?

[Spits] You know, you're

a real f***in' coward, Zamorro.

And you're a big hero.

Let's go. Come on.

Get your hands off me,

motherf***er!

F***in' prick!

Shut up, Yates!

[Breathes Deeply]

- [Buzzer]

- [Man On P.A.]

All inmates on the rack.

This is a shakedown.

Go, go!

Come on! Fall out!

Let's go !

All inmates proceed to the yard

through the south ports.

[Guards Continue Yelling]

- [Buzzer]

- On the double! Move it!

Come on. Go, go!

- This way, chief.

- Let's go! Move it!

[Shouting Continues]

Over there, sir.

- It's crazy, huh?

- Let's go! Step it up!

- Come on! Let's go!

Move it, prisoners!

- Really crazy.

- Go!

- All right!

- [Commotion]

- [Objects Shattering]

Captain Peretz,

you will find my flag.

6:
10.

6:
10.

[Commotion]

I don't wanna hear that.

You have your orders.

Find the damn thing.

Sir, they found

a lot of weaponry.

- But no flag.

- No, sir.

But at least we have

all their weapons.

There's nothing much

they can do now.

How many men do we have

searching the tiers?

We have close to a hundred.

Pretty much everybody we could get.

It's not about the flag.

He wants to be in the yard.

Get our men out of the tiers

and into the yard now.

- [Blows Whistle]

- Everybody into the yard!

Riot formation!

Let's go! Double time!

Now!

- Peretz! Get those men

into the yard, now!

- Yes, sir!

- Alert the S.O.R.T. teams. Go, go!

- [Speaks, Indistinct]

Chain, chain, chain.

All right.

How's it feel, huh?

How's it feel?

- [Grunts]

- Bring him with us.

To the hole!

Command post up, fast!

Put me down! You know

what's going to happen toyou?

- Go, go, go!

- Let us out!

- Hey! Hey! Beaupre, is that you?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Is it happening?

F***in' "A" it's happening.

- Yeah.

Damn it!

They chained the doors

to the tiers.

Yes. I can see that.

It's gonna take 'em

a little while to get around.

When they get here, tell them

to gear up, but hold them.

They'll expect us to come

hard and fast, so we won't.

- [Gunshot]

- Whoa! Hey!

Yates, you little prick. I bet against you

and it cost me a whole stash of smokes.

Yeah? There's

a lot of losers today.

- Go!

- [Gunfire]

- What's the deal?

- Come on, Zamorro, you motherf***er!

Come on! Come on!

You f***ing believe this guy?

Okay, let's go.

Here we go. Let's go. Let's go.

- Hey, get it out right now.

- Later, later.

[Men Yelling]

Listen to me. The colonel said

to hold them, okay?

Hold them.

[Sighs]

Sir, maybe we should call C.A.C.

and get General Wheeler.

And say what, Captain?

Colonel Winter has lost control

of his own prison?

[Shouting]

- Keenan! Keenan,

you ready to go up, man?

- Yes, sir!

The trajectory

is going to be there.

Where do you want me?

This is Sergeant McLaren

from Fort Truman Prison.

Can I speak

to General Wheeler?

Well, you're gonna have to

wake the dude up, man.

This is from Colonel Winter.

We're having, like,

an uprising here.

Go. Launch when ready.

Go, go, go! Come on!

Light her up.
