Original subtitles

Goodbye old paint.

Don't.

I'm getting tired.

I'll drive then. Over my dead body.

Promises, promises. Look, if he can

drive, we're picking him up.

He's got a knife in his shirt, he's got

a bomb in his suitcase. He'll kill you

and rape me. You're not that lucky.

Layus a tune. Name it. Can you drive?

Yes, sir.

Show my wife your license. Show his wife

your license.

An obvious forgery.

Get in.

I'm Donna Lacey.

And this tense person driving with his

teeth clenched is my husband, Victor.

Donna.

He's tense because I insisted on staying

in Phoenix to do some shopping.

isn't interested in all that.

he's interested.

Victor's in politics. There's a party

caucus in New Orleans.

For which we are going to be late.

Important people should always be a

little late. It's good for their image.

You carry that guitar for your image,

Mr. Ramsey, or do you actually play?

Whenever I get a chance, I get.

I've always liked men who could perform.

Maybe you'll play it for me later.

You from around here?

No, San Diego. Uh.

It's a nice place if you're big on

sailors.

No?

Yes, ma'am.

What's your name?

Oh.

Your wife.

Oh, Linda.

Well, where is she?

You're running away from home?

No.

No.

Just hitchhiking east for the hell of

it, huh?

No, I'm on business.

Got a meeting with some record people in

Nashville. Oh, you're a songwriter.

Well, that's a matter of opinion.

The rent gets paid playing one-night

gigs, weddings,

even kids' birthday parties.

Where the hell are we?

How should I know?

Paul, could I use a drink? When can't

you?

Hey, you driving.

His name's Paul Ramsey. When you see a

halfway decent restaurant, just pull in,

will you?

I hope you're hungry.

No, not really. I'll wait out here.

Thanks.

Suit yourself.

Easy, baby. Easy. Your turn in a minute.

Soon as Daddy drinks his dinner, you can

have a steak.

That was uncalled for.

Yeah,

I want the car to be there when I come

back.

Hello?

How are you?

I'm fine. You want to speak to Linda?

Neil Diamond Jr. for you, dear.

Hello, Neil Diamond Jr. Where are you?

I'm outside Nashville.

Way outside, like about a thousand

miles.

I was afraid of those tires. Oh, it's

worse than that. Old paint just up and

gave out. Had to shoot him. I'm riding a

bus, cowboy?

On a thumb. I hitched a ride.

Going through to New Orleans with some

fat cat and his wife. I'll probably

catch a bus from there.

Just a minute.

Linda?

Earth to Linda, come in, please.

Mom's having dinner with me.

Wish I was.

Me, too.

Linda?

I love you.

Keep the bed warm till I get back.

I'm in coal.

All right, I miss you. Bye-bye, honey.

I'll call you from Nashville.

Bye, Don.

Well, he's fine.

Car broke down, so he's hitchhiking.

Surely he's had plenty of experience at

it.

When's he coming home? Soon as he makes

his date in Nashville.

Just don't understand, Paul. Or you,

either.

Of all the times to go gallivanting,

you have told him you're pregnant,

haven't you? Mom, that's between Paul

and me. You haven't told him.

Linda, I just don't understand you

sometimes.

All right.

I thought you might like a drink and a

sandwich.

Thank you.

You like gin and cold roast beef?

That's never sounded better.

The piece of meat wrapped in the wax

paper is for the beast.

That's a good thing you told me.

Here.

Where's Mr. Lacy?

Holding up the bar as usual.

He won't be back for a while.

I didn't know a floor show came with a

drink.

Wait till you see the finale.

You want to play?

Well, I can't honestly say that.

I'd like to, but uh

You won't.

Too hot for sex anyway.

Want one?

Thanks. I gave it up for Lent.

As long as you know what you're missing.

Did that hurt? No, sir. Why not? Because

it belongs to the fellow behind me.

I'll drive.

Yeah, like hell you will. You sit up in

front with me.

I think I'll take a pass on that. Just

let me get my things out of the trunk.

Please.

The lady said please.

Victor, will you make up your mind which

side of the road you're driving on?

Sweetheart, I'm just trying to get back

to 209.

If our wandering minstrel's directions

are right, keeping a straight line is

just about another mile.

That a fool driver. Mr. Nessie, you're

so smashed I can see two of you. Now,

would you let me drive? Just because my

drunken wife she said right. Would you

pull over?

Oh my god.

Did you hit somebody?

Nothing. It was nothing. Start the damn

car. We got to go back. Nothing. That's

all. Stop the car.

Hello, Jared. Maybe we should Ladies,

we're going back.

What are you doing?

Somewhere around here.

Hello.

Yeah.

The weather's hot.

I understand they gave you a pretty good

stomping.

Yeah. Who are you?

Oh,

my name is Oberlin.

I Edmund Oberlin, I'm Mr. Lacey's

attorney.

Thank you, Sheriff.

What am I doing in here?

Well, surely you must remember last

night.

Yeah, I was driving.

And then we're going back to find out

what we hit. The next thing I know, two

guys jump

son.

Little girl, 10 years old, name of Alice

May Bogle.

How is she?

She's still unconscious.

We won't know for a while.

I told Lacy he's too drunk to drive.

Yes, you did.

And he is grateful. He is damn grateful.

He took your advice.

What?

And he's going to see to it that you're

going to get everything you need, and

I'm going to do everything that I can.

I was not driving that car when we hit

that kid. Lacy was.

Paul, you were driving. Mr. and Mrs.

Lacy have signed a report to that

effect.

care what they've signed. They're lying.

I was not driving that car. You can't

prove that.

I would like my own lawyer. Thank you.

Well, you're entitled to a counsel of

your own choice.

But I wouldn't advise it, son. I'm the

best lawyer around here. Everybody knows

me. I know everybody. That counts. It

doesn't even matter who was driving the

car. It was still an accident. No.

Driving under the influence, that makes

it manslaughter. I had one drink. I had

a half a drink. A martini Mrs. Lacy

brought me. Please. Don't try to calm

me, son. The car reeked with a smell of

a 45 sticks of

reefers, or whatever you call marijuana,

found on your person. It's right here in

the police report. That was a plant.

Those were not mine. Mrs. Lacy brought

the

Don't believe this.

All right.

Try to believe this.

I can get you off with a suspended

sentence if you act sensibly.

Paul,

are you going to retain my services as

your attorney?

Goodbye.

Sheriff.

I want you to take special care of this

young man.

Mr. and Mrs. Lacy are really concerned

about him.

Oh, Paul, you're entitled to make one

telephone call.

Who you want to call, boy?

My wife.

She's going to love this story. Now, the

defendant here has waived a jury trial

and pleaded guilty to running down a

10-year-old child with an automobile

while being under the influence of

drugs. And then trying to run away

yourself before you found out if the

child needed help or was living or dead.

Change my plea. Why not take it easy,

son? Since this court here just received

a message that the child's going to be

all right,

I intend to be as Christian as possible

in pronouncing sentence on this young

man.

Will the defendant please rise?

I sentence you, Paul Ramsey, to an

indeterminate sentence of 1 to 5 years

at the state prison farm.

Sentence will commence immediately.

Sorry, man.

Let's go, son.

Didn't talk to the judge? Not now. But

the poor kid's going to jail. Quiet,

dammit, or we'll all be going.

Hey, man. Okay to smoke? Sure.

Want a joke, man?

It's prime stuff.

Some other time.

Beautiful.

Figure on doing a good behavior, huh?

You got it.

How much time they hang on you, man?

One to five.

Christ. You could do that with your

finger up your ass, man. Whatever it

takes.

I'm going back for violating parole.

I was consorting with a known criminal.

Myself.

Also, at the time

I was committing love on a 14-year-old

girl, which I was sure was 29.

So, they sent me back to finish out my

sentence.

What's it like where we're going?

Oh, you're going to love it, man. Yeah,

you're never going to want to leave.

Every morning, out with the road gang,

plenty of fresh air, exercise.

Only thing, they might beat you to

death.

You like dogs, man?

Spent my last free night with a terrier.

Oh, that's good. Cuz they got a bunch of

the meanest, goddamn tracking dogs you

ever did see.

What they call you, man?

Paul Ramsey.

I'm Jesus Gonzales.

Tell me, man.

You straight?

Meaning what?

No, it's just that it's a lot easier

if you

It's a little bit queer.

Can't you wait till we know each other a

little better?

Hey, Yank!

Jesus! I'm back.

Good to see you, mama.

How about that?

You see that big mama? That's Yacky Ma

Jones. He's the boss, Carl.

He was my husband, once.

What's it like on the other side?

All right, move out.

Line up.

Home, sweet home.

Quiet.

What are we waiting for?

Your inaugural address, man.

We got anything special this trip,

Harvey?

Just these three here, Captain.

I brought you Elroy Smith.

Reform school boy making the pro leagues

for the first time. Five to 10 for

attempted armed robbery.

Real tough boy.

He thinks.

Is that right, Elroy?

You don't look to be that kind of boy.

No, sir. You look real nice.

If you want to keep on looking that way,

you keep your mouth shut and your hand

on your own pecker. You hear me?

Yes, sir.

I reckon you know Jesus Gonzales, can't

Welcome home. Didn't think you'd stay

away too long. You know the rules. Oh, I

do. I do, sir.

What's your name, boy?

Paul Ramsey.

What are you in here for, Ramsey? One to

five for hit and run on little girl. I

asked him.

Okay.

That's what I was convicted of.

But not necessarily guilty of, huh,

Ramsey? That's right. It doesn't matter.

You can keep your instrument, boy.

But bear in mind, we're not running a

Boy Scout camp here.

When I speak to you, I want to hear your

answer, boy.

Yes, sir.

I'm Captain Omar Kensman. I'm the

superintendent of Camp 4.

This here is Sergeant Hubble Wacker.

He's a very religious type. He loves to

put the fear of Christ in the men like

you.

This is Jake Turner. He almost made it

to the middleweight title, except he ran

into some trouble.

Jake is my shooter.

For the benefit of you new men, a

shooter is a trusty.

Armed trusty.

If Jake comes after you and blows your

head off, he earns himself some good

time.

Maybe even a parole, huh, Jake?

Well, there's only three ways that men

try to beat the system here. Kiss ass,

hard ass, or haul ass.

If you're going to try at kiss ass, then

you'd better be god damn good at it.

If you're going to try at hard ass, then

you'd better be meaner than me.

And I ain't never met the man yet that

was.

And if If going to try at haul ass,

then let me show you what you got to

beat.

Tano,

bring my baby over here.

Tell the wackers to take them closer.

All right, baby. All right.

Baby,

what I got for you here? What I got for

you here, partner? That's up, baby.

That's up, baby. That's up, baby. Yeah.

That's a good rattler. Yeah, I got

another one for you, ain't you? That's a

sweet baby. Nice kills.

This here is my dog, Rattler.

This is the strongest and the bravest

and the best penitentiary dog in the

whole world. He's killed two men that I

know of. He just tore him all to pieces

and he loved every minute of it, didn't

you, baby? Didn't you?

Didn't you?

So, now you see what you're up against.

So, if any of you are still thinking of

hauling ass, and you are, or you will

be,

you better be prepared to outrun

me and Rattler all the way to Mexico.

Tano, take them back.

Get these men over to the infirmary for

a dick check and some clothes.

You heard it. Move.

Call the guard.

Does it matter?

Does it matter?

Smart ass.

You're probably one of those

that ran to Canada.

Watch your back, amigo.

He thinks he's still back in Vietnam.

And we're the Cong.

Understand?

Hey, Leroy! They give you the finger?

Well, what have we here?

You're next, good looking. Dr. Odum will

see you now.

Watch him. He's gay.

This is a goddamn zoo. Is everybody

queer in here? No, but it helps.

Name? Ray.

Al Ramsey.

Open.

Any known diseases? Uh-huh.

All right, drop your shorts.

Mary tell you I'm gay? I'm not dropping.

Sir.

Bend over.

Married?

Yes, sir.

Any homosexual experience?

Not yet, sir.

Stand up.

First time in prison?

Yes, sir. Cough.

Cough.

Just trying to pull up your shorts.

You want to survive here?

Yes, sir. Keep cool, keep clean, and

keep quiet. Next.

Inside.

Let's go.

Move it.

Take a free bomb.

Hello, shot in.

Jack, baby.

Hey, tell me, man. You still running

everything around here?

What do you think? All right. Good to

see you, man.

Dead man. How come you ain't in no

coffin yet?

Hey, Paul.

Dead man here. He really thinks he's

dead. We're all dead.

My friends, I want you to meet Paul

Ramsey.

He's just here on vacation. He came down

in the bus with me.

Guy plays a guitar?

Yeah, and he better play it only on

request.

Hey, Warden.

New meat on the other side.

I don't think you heard me. New meat on

the other side.

Hey, cheater.

I think we going to have to have a

little blanket party in there.

See?

Let's go.

Come on, quick. Get your shots.

Holy, holy, holy.

Hit that man. Blanket over your head.

Move.

Got you damn bunch of homosexuals.

You, get in that goddamn bunk. Move.

You.

I'm talking to you.

Hey, cellmate.

Easy.

Why the hell did you have to buck it?

He said act up.

Nobody bothered me.

All right.

What happened? I want to hear something.

You.

In the bed.

Blanket over your head. Move.

All right, pretty boy. Let's get you

over to the infirmary.

Move it.

Come on.

Come on.

You shouldn't have mixed in, boy.

You're going to be sorry for that.

I promise you.

Are you done did amigo?

Son of a Knock it off. Knock it off.

Back up. Back up. Back up. Hold it. Hold

it. Hold it. Okay, who started this? He

tried to break my arm. Jack. That honky

bastard called me a eating

son of a

Did you say that?

Well, I'm talking to you.

Whose word are you going to take?

I want to teach you politeness, boy.

Move.

I said, "Move."

What in the world, Rambo?

Well, I believe we got us a new kind of

dog here.

You know what that is, Mudcat? That's a

smart-ass college dog. That's what that

is.

Yes, sir. Sure look like you could use a

drink of water, Mr. Rambo, sir.

Maybe you're right, Mudcat.

It's too early for happy hour.

Boy, if you were on fire now, I wouldn't

piss on you.

Mudcat. Yes, sir.

He gets nothing to drink till I say so.

Yes, sir.

Here you go, sir.

Okay.

Thank you.

Name is Mudcat Hamlin.

Been dog here for 15 years.

Dog? Dog Nice name,

ain't it?

Wacko sends me out every morning to the

lake tracks.

Train the dogs that away.

You want some more, son?

Got to get.

All right, pick me up at 5:00. Give your

daddy a kiss. Daddy, I'm too old for

that.

my little girl.

What time do you be late for school? I

don't have a class until 10:00. I want

to use your typewriter to type up my

term paper.

Okay, but button up that shirt when

you're around here.

Captain, sir? What is it, boys? Uh you

know that man, Ramsey, the white boy

with the guitar? The professional

musician you told me about, Papa? What

about it, Mudcat? Well, Wacko put him in

the cage with a rattler, Mr. Kingsman

said. Wacko put him in the cage with a

rattler? What the hell are you talking

about? When did he do that? Yesterday,

after you left, boss.

Mr. Ramsey,

have you ever met Mick Jagger?

Get back away from there, Gloria.

Rattler,

you okay? You okay.

For God's sake, Papa, it's not the dog

needs help.

Wacko!

Wacko, get your ass over here.

Gloria, on back to the car.

What the hell's going on? What's that

boy doing in there?

He started a fight, Captain. He looks

half dead. Get him over to the

infirmary.

He's all right.

My ass. I don't want any more brutality

reports for a while. And god damn it,

don't you ever chain my dog up like that

again.

Yes, sir.

Jake,

Tonah.

Come here.

Get him over to the infirmary now.

Why didn't you tell me?

Thought you would, Boss.

That the old man was here. I was about

to, Boss. Oh,

Told him about Ramsey being in the cage.

How old are you, boy?

49.

Well, maybe 50.

I noticed lately you've been slowing

down.

Still running good, Boss.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think I'll put you back in the

general population. Give me a young dog

Don't do that, Boss. Why not?

You know it.

They'll kill me. Why would they want to

kill you? If dog goes back to

general pop,

he's a dead man, and you know that,

Boss.

That's just con talk.

So, he finally got his interview with

the president. He went in and he said,

"Mr. President, there's absolutely no

truth to the rumor that I have been

humping my secretary and buying her

clothes with government money.

Maybe somebody has, but I don't even

know what size she is or even if she

wears a brassiere.

Then the president looked at him with

that funny little look he gets and he

said,

"She does and she's a 40."

Mr. Lacey,

may I speak with you for a moment?

Of course. Uh gentlemen, would you

excuse me a minute? I'll meet you in the

bar.

Well,

to what do I owe the honor of this

visit?

I'm sorry to interrupt your weekend.

I've tried to reach you at your office

for 2 weeks, but you're never there or

you're in a conference. At least that's

what your secretary has told me.

Well,

I'm here now. What's on your mind?

We need your help. With your influence,

there must be something you could do to

get my husband out of that place. Mrs.

Ramsey, your husband was convicted in a

court of law and I'm sorry for him. I

grant you, but uh I'm afraid justice

will have to be served.

Well, Mr. Lacey,

I know the story of how it really

happened.

I think it would be in your best

interest to help him. Now, his lawyer

told him that if

very much like a threat to me and I

don't like to be threatened.

He'll be serving a few months. What

could that mean in your young lives?

Here,

let me give you something that'll make

the waiting a little bit easier. We

don't want your money.

It might help your conscience, but my

husband would still be in jail.

I think you owe us at least an

more to talk about then. Further

discussion would be fruitless.

Good day.

You got a real mess here, doc.

Put him over there.

Get his vitals.

Get the hell out of here, boy.

If this try to escape, why could put

Rattler on him.

Nobody gets the best of my dog. Mary,

get me a clamp. His muscle's torn. Y'all

know your dog's crazy, Omar. You should

put a bullet in I'll put a god damn

bullet in the first man that touches

him.

That dog is the heart and soul of this

institution.

We ain't dealing with purse snatchers

here. We're dealing with murderers and

rapists and God only knows what other

kind of degenerate.

They know that Rattler's watching them.

Sometimes I think you're crazy, too,

Omar.

Oh, get out of here.

What was that, Cito?

Tried to breed him and Rattler.

Tried to breed him and Rattler to see if

they could get a prick with hell on it.

Hell on it.

Boy.

You're going out of here in a box,

sucker.

You want what?

I'd like to be the new dog sir.

My god, why would anybody want that?

You know, you're liable to have to run 5

or 6 hours a day, maybe more. Yes, sir,

I know. Well, then why would You need

somebody to replace Mudcat.

I ran track in school. I can run. I bet

you never ran through a swamp with

Rattler chewing at your ass.

Dog is the worst job in this

camp.

Why do you want it? Are you thinking of

hauling ass out of here? No, sir.

And what's your reason?

I've got to get out of the general

barracks, sir. I had a fight with

Yakimora Jones.

And I would like to leave here in one

piece someday.

You know, if you don't make it as the

dog and I put you back with the

others, they're going to hate your ass

for training the dogs to catch them.

You're likely to wish that Rattler had

gotten you instead, you know that? Yes,

sir.

Okay, you want it, you got it. You

report to Sergeant Wacker. We'll be

thanks to the dog compound quarters.

Thank you, Captain Kindsman.

Hi.

Hey, Mudcat.

What you do, boy? Have yourself healing

in that infirmary?

What do you think, Jake?

It's a white dog I don't care.

We're calling him up for old V.

Hey, Diggler. Sonny, let me get the

toothpaste.

Why'd you volunteer?

Couldn't sleep in the dorm, too many

parties.

Tonto, get the trailer hitched up. Hey

Pablito, I got my old job back.

Glad you're here, man. Same here.

Hey Ramsey, get the engine in hand.

Sonny, move your ass.

Don't tell me, let me guess. He's

General Patton's son.

Close. Ex-Marine sergeant. Kicked him

out.

He's too mean even for them.

Tonto, what's your real name?

Tolshi.

Tonto Tolshi.

Why?

I wouldn't want to be called the Lone

Ranger.

Hi Mr. Ramsey.

Good morning, Miss Kinsman.

I'm going to ask my pa.

All right, I'll bite. What are you going

to ask? If you can come play for me,

maybe after work?

Sorry, my guitar is broken.

Oh.

But I can get you another one, then will

you?

Gloria, get out of here.

Jake, notch him.

All right, let me have your foot.

What's that for?

We can tell your footprints. Another

one.

I just cut my foot, you can follow the

blood. Let's go.

Tonto,

up top with the dogs.

Hey,

you don't need these.

Ramsay.

All right, Ramsay. Start running. Lay a

trail through them bottoms.

We don't catch you by lunch, Jake here's

going to fire two shots. Means you stop

and wait for us to catch up to you.

Now, if we don't catch up to you, I'm

going to clear you fugitive and blow

your goddamn head off.

Get going.

Ramsay.

You don't run good, boy. You're going

back to general pop.

We let him go.

How? He'll get

Keep going.

Let me get my breath. That a boy. Want

to quit already? It's a full-time job.

Five bucks.

Five says it makes it.

Gabe, you want a piece?

Ten said it don't last a week.

I'll take five of that.

One day and a man's so tired his piss

won't foam.

Come on. Time to run.

Go.

Here you go.

Now, I got money riding on you.

Why don't you start without me?

Hey,

you can make it.

What shot is what? He can't give the

dogs a decent run.

The hell I can't.

Sir.

Let's move.

Get him started again, sergeant.

I can't.

Running in circles got the dogs

confused. That's one great tracking team

that you've trained there, sergeant

Wackler. God damned if it ain't.

All right, Jake. Bring Ramsey on in.

Right here, Captain Gibson.

Lay the trail for the dogs like I'm

supposed to.

You know something?

You're going to make a pretty fair dog,

Give Ramsey full privilege.

Yes, sir.

Come on.

How the hell did you get over there?

Took a flying leap. Why don't you do the

same? Get your ass back here. Can't do

it going that way.

Hold this.

Jesus.

Yeah, boss.

Take the truck around Hoover Road, pick

up Ramsey. He's on the ridge.

Tano.

Did you see Wacko's face?

No, I thought he had a stroke.

His face was so screwed up, he looked

like a dog peach seeds.

Where'd you find this? Never mind.

Liberated it. What if I try it?

Wonderful.

Here you go.

You're known. Now, play us a tune, Lone

Ranger, on my very special guitar.

You could.

You could.

Jesus. Jesus.

All right. Now, hear this.

Next Sunday, 10:00 a.m., there's going

to be a conjugal visit. All right, huh?

Which means the following men are going

to get laid.

Sonny Miller.

All right. And your pencil, Paul Ramsey.

Oh, prepare to get your ashes hauled.

And Tonto.

Give me a toke of that joint, man. Not

if I'm not getting laid, too. Oh, for

booze, I'd sleep with you myself for a

blast.

All right.

Wait a minute. You guys are putting me

on, right?

Hell no, way, Lone Ranger. You're

getting a a from your wife next Sunday.

You fast like a bunny rabbit?

Glad you're fine, my amigos.

Hey, you want to hear something funny?

Guess who is getting a conjugal visit

from his wife. Who?

Who? Who?

That flaming who works in the

infirmary. Hell, Mary ain't married.

Hey, what are you talking about, man?

It's right here on the list.

Now, that's enough to gag a maggot.

There.

Hey, what do you think about that,

amigo?

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

Hey, Pablito.

You know, if them dogs run your balls

off,

I just want you to know I soused is

available.

Oh, muchas gracias. You know, anything

for a pal. Hey, man, don't relate me to

him, man. You can't take a joke, this

guy.

Good boy.

Good boy.

Cap Kenson. Uh yes, sergeant.

Rattler could use a hard run. Keep him

in shape.

Uh it's a good idea, sergeant.

You take good care of him. I don't want

Rattler hurt. I'll do that.

Palo, come here and give me a hand.

Go with him, boy.

We got to take Rattler along today.

Hold right there.

Let him go.

What if he loses muscle?

So?

Follow him.

Help!

Help!

Help me, for God's sake!

Danny!

Down here!

Danny!

What the hell are you waiting for, man?

Get him out of there!

Thanks.

The hell are you thanking me for?

One of these days you're going to try to

bust out of here, it's going to be my

turn.

They keep sending that dog after me,

there won't be any pieces left to shoot

at. Yeah, well you got 2 more hours

left. Get going.

Hi.

Me, friend?

We're going to get to know each other.

I mean, we slept with each other. You

tried to eat my balls off, but we never

really got acquainted.

And if we don't become bosom pals,

I'm going to have to leave this lovely

place.

Cuz I know Whackers going to un-muscle

you and send you after him.

And I don't want to be brought home to

my wife in plastic bags.

Look

what I got for you.

Yummies.

No, I'm not going to throw them at you.

I'm going to give them to you and you're

going to eat the yummies

and not my arm.

Aren't you?

I like you.

I really do.

I think you're one hell of a dog.

You like me, too. I can feel it.

Come on, boy.

Friends.

I know it.

Okay.

Name?

This is Maxine Emerson.

That's that's Emerson's wife.

Room four.

Next.

Name? Linda Ramsey.

May I see your authorization for

conjugal visit, Mrs. Ramsey?

Room six.

Now, that girl is trying to leave. Shut

your mouth.

Cried when we first made love.

Cried until we were married and then you

said you'd never cry again.

I know.

You're going to get thinner and thinner

until you're invisible.

And then you're going to walk out of

this horrible place.

I'm running.

It's my new job. I help train the dogs.

You don't mean they chase you.

Something like that.

Did you see Lacy?

Yeah.

Said he couldn't help.

I figured.

I'm going to keep after him and his

wife, too.

I'm going to get you out of here, Paul.

I promise.

What time do we have?

1 hour. Oh.

I need a year just to look at you.

And I need another year just to hold

you.

They know what everybody's doing right

now in the metropolitan.

Time in this place.

And I'll make love to him in my mind.

Not too hard. I'm sore all over.

Hey, Sarge.

I got to see that big blonde in action.

Know what I mean?

Yeah, go ahead.

God damn it Emerson. What's going on in

here? This is my wife, Max. Max, this is

Officer Bubba. Hello Officer Bubba. What

do you mean your wife? We're legally

married. Show him the marriage

certificate, Max.

God damn it. Now, I know there's

something illegal about that, Emerson.

Well, until you find out what it is,

would you mind leaving us alone? Yeah,

well, what the hell?

Son of a Officer,

close the curtain.

Visiting hours over. 1 minute to go.

I'll be all right.

Well, I won't.

Not until you're out of here.

All right, she's going.

Oh, there's no rush, Max. See you.

I shouldn't really leave you. I'd take

your time.

That was Sergeant Wacker.

He's my boss.

Real sweetheart.

You're welcome back soon, darlings.

Wait! Wait!

Damn.

When's the next bus, please? There ain't

no next bus.

Then how am I supposed to get to the

station? Walk.

That would take me an hour.

May I give you a lift, Mrs. Ramsey?

I'm Sergeant Wacker. I'm sorry. I guess

this is my fault. I heard that you

missed the bus, and I came out looking

for you.

Thank you.

Your husband and I work together.

Yes, he told me. He's my dog,

He's getting very good at it.

That's nice.

You know what makes me kind of sad,

watching the women leave?

And what I mean is

it must be very frustrating for a young

woman whose husband is doing time.

Very considerate.

Thank you.

I hope to be.

It's the same at the camp. I try to make

it easy for the men as they go along.

Is this a shortcut?

Listen,

there are lots of ways I can make it

easier for your husband. Start the

truck, please.

You don't want me to start the truck,

Mrs. Ramsey. I'd rather sleep with one

of your dogs.

Let her alone. Let her alone.

No!

He's as good as dead.

You hear me?

Good as dead!

That was quiet last night. Getting late

has that effect.

Well, I got a little myself yesterday.

They could wake and find it, huh,

sergeant?

She's a pretty girl.

Just lucky I guess, you know.

I was uh driving into town

and she had missed her bus out here. So,

she was hiking in, just swinging her

tail. Nice and smooth and easy, you

know. So, I stopped. Said, "Hey, can I

give you a lift to the bus station?"

She smiled.

Did there pull up this little rose

colored skirt she had on.

She slid right in the truck, sit down

beside me.

Never stopped pulling that skirt back

down, you know.

Had the prettiest little rose colored

blouse went with it.

So, I just patted her on the knee and we

drove away.

Guess her toes are the nicest legs

you've ever had wrapped around you in

your life.

Yeah, it seems uh

seems her man was just too tired to get

it up.

Here she come all the way out here.

Listen to all the other people get it on

in the rooms.

I mean, she was primed.

Ready to fire.

Yes, sir. Let me tell you something,

Captain.

Ramsey's woman sure knows how

Watch out!

You son of a

You crazy boy! Come here!

Let him go.

Leave him alone. Let them settle it

themselves. You're a filthy mouth lying

bastard, Wackner. Hey,

everybody knows about a except her

husband.

That's it. Get back to work, Ramsey.

Ramsey!

It isn't finished.

Anna, I told you I don't want to be

disturbed today. This isn't Anna, Mrs.

Lacey.

It's Linda Ramsey, Mrs. Paul Ramsey.

Maria, that'll be all

for today.

Would you hand me my robe, please?

I've got to talk to you, Mrs. Lacey.

Go ahead, talk.

I can tell you right now there's nothing

I can do to help you.

I saw Paul yesterday.

They've made him a dog

Do you know what a dog is?

That means they use him to help train

the hounds. They chase him for hours

every day.

And they haven't Victor did everything

he could. He got you the best attorney

in town. Did that ease his conscience? I

don't know what you're talking about.

Look, I've had it.

Paul is 25 and I'm 21.

Everything is ahead of us. Especially

Tommy.

He'll be out in a few months. Paul is a

fine musician. All he needs is a chance.

Prison will ruin everything by changing

him.

Damn it, will you get out of here? I've

had it. Why don't you go and see him,

Mrs. Lacey?

See how it's changed him already.

And there's something else.

What is it?

I'm pregnant.

And I can't even tell him.

All right.

Yeah.

How long do you think I have before

Wackers sends Rattler without the

warrant?

Couldn't say.

But I figure soon.

Okay.

Any suggestions?

You familiar with Hall now?

The little refinery?

About 12 miles west of town.

Yeah.

Get past that, a mile and a half puts

you at

railroad crossing, Route 119.

Slow freights run through there all day.

Guy has to beat the dogs.

He'll be on his way.

Need clothes

shoes and stuff like that.

Place to hide it all.

Do you need help to find all that? Buy

liberate it.

Save the hell.

Find the right people for that.

Think you're good?

I'm not saying I couldn't.

Guess who was here today?

Your favorite black stud.

That's not funny.

Anyway, he's not black.

Not that it would matter to me. You're

telling me.

All right, I give up. Who was here

today? Mrs. Paul Ramsey.

Oh, That again?

Victor, you said everything was going to

be okay, that you were going to get the

kid off. That's the only reason I went

along with it.

it, will you forget it? That is ancient

history.

Not to those two kids.

Screw it. I don't want to talk about it.

don't care what you want, Victor. Now,

you said the governor owes you a

political favor.

I want you to collect it now.

All right, god damn it. We'll go through

it once more.

Just because you're too god damn stupid

to figure it out for yourself. Yeah, the

god damn governor does owe me a favor.

And it's a pretty god damn big favor,

too.

In case that's any of your business.

So, I'm not going to waste it on some

little two-bit nobody like Ramsey, am I?

And I'm telling you you are.

You're not telling me anything, you

cheap little Chicago

You'll pay for that, Victor. When I get

through with you, Ramsey will be out and

you'll be in. Yeah?

When you perjured yourself, baby.

You'll do time if you make trouble. How

many governors will owe favors to a

jailbird, Victor?

Huh?

Think about that.

Now, wait a minute. Hey.

All right. All right. All right. Look,

god damn it. Honey, listen. I'm I'm I'm

sorry. Did you hear me? I said I was

sorry.

Jake.

Jake, there's a question I'd like to

ask.

Say I got bored with this prison and

decided to make a run for it.

Would you really shoot me?

You don't mean nothing to me, man.

Except the way out of here.

Is this man a parole so important you'd

kill a man for it? I'm almost 30 years

old.

Old for a fighter.

Five more years in this hell and I won't

be worth a damn.

And I don't want to end up in no car

wash.

You dig?

Yeah, I guess I do.

Yeah?

Yeah. I sent a man to work on your

garden.

You know, it's a funny thing. Father

asked me to send a dog

All right.

Did you send him?

Sure, why not?

Hey, how come you ain't got yourself a

boyfriend yet?

First man who cleans his fingernails can

have me.

Mr. Ramsey,

I need you for a minute.

I guess she wants some cleaning done

inside.

Let's get on with it.

It's an honor to have you in the house,

Mr. Ramsey.

Thank you.

What is it you want done?

I'm I'm going to have a birthday party

next week.

Happy birthday. Thank you.

Papa's going to have a few of his

friends over, and I was going to have

some of mine, and we were thinking about

having a little entertainment.

I'm afraid I'm a little rusty.

We'd be glad to pay you, Mr. Ramsey.

Captain Kinsman asked me, of course.

I think I better get back to work.

I saw you fight Wacker.

Papa says you can't ever tell about a

man.

You sure fight dirty. Well, that's very

complimentary, but I have The way you

almost killed him.

Right, I've got to go back to work.

There's no hurry. Don't Christ. Gloria.

Gloria.

Papa, we weren't doing anything.

Get back to your room, right now.

You've got to save yourself, Ramsey.

It's not the way it looks, Captain. I

came in here

No convict is going to screw around with

my little girl. Now, you get back to the

compound.

Captain Kinsman, I came in here

from me, Ramsey.

Now.

What are you doing, man? Today's the

day. You need to sleep.

Can

Hounds don't bother me, but rattlers are

another thing.

Oh, well, I'm only dreaming. He's a

fool, too. He's another doll.

No, he's not.

Then you just go and have to run into

the air.

Sure.

Hey.

Make it.

Here's a coke up the saw.

Rest of the stuff stash where you plan.

Thanks.

Hope that the freight's running on slow.

And four.

Captain Kinsman. I is not here yet.

Governor's on. Yes, sir. I can get him

for you.

Yes, I can take the message. Hang on.

Yes.

Hello, Ramsey.

He'll send the papers and confirmation

by messenger over later today.

Yes, sir. I'll see the captain gets

I hope you stay in the barn today.

Sergeant. Oh, morning, Captain. Going

out today? Yeah, we're going to take

Rattler, too. Yes, sir. Uh there was a

phone call earlier this morning. Did you

get my message?

I got it, Sergeant.

Yes, sir.

Tell him to get Rattler and we'll move

out.

Rattler.

You got 5 minutes. Take off.

It's time. Let's go. Rattler two? Not

What the hell happened to Dan?

That son of a has dumped coal tar

all over his tracks.

These bastards won't be worth a for

hours.

Get back to the truck and get me two

more dogs.

And bring me Rattler.

Move.

I'm declaring Ramsey an escapee.

Go get him, baby.

I think he got a treat.

Rims making a run for it.

No Kessler's on his way back here.

Paul needs time.

That's what he's going to get.

Hey, Zada, what the hell are you doing?

Relieving myself, boss. Call of nature.

All right, get this truck started. Get

in, boss. Get in. Get in. Come on. Come

on. Get in.

Somebody help.

Somebody Ramsey, come out.

Ramsey, listen to me, please. I'm

begging you.

Get me out of here. So long, Wackner.

Ramsey, wait. Wait. I know something. I

can help.

Save it for later. Ramsey! God damn it,

ah!

God damn you, Wackner. I don't know why.

You know what?

Calm down, boy.

Let's get it started.

Must be bad gas.

Come on, Ratliff.

Jake, you and Tonto come with me. We'll

cut across the 119. You two get this

mother started.

Yeah.

That baby's got the scent.

Go get him. Go get him.

He killed them.

He killed my dog.

Jake, shoot that bastard. Kill him.

I'll pull the trigger.

Now, he's a fugitive and I'm ordering

you to shoot him. Now, pull the trigger.

What the hell's the matter with you?

Don't you realize that you're on parole?

It was nothing but a training exercise,

Captain.

He didn't try to escape.

Tony, you see anybody try to escape?

There were no warning shots fired.

Nothing.

He was just running to get away from the

dog.

Come on, baby. Come on, baby.

Take Take a deep breath for daddy.

Take a deep breath for daddy.

Baby.

Best dog in the world.

Come on, baby.
