You're forgetting

something.

Pick it up.

The old super spade didn't want to take

the smack, he was going to leave it

for the blues.

Hey, take this stupid mask off.

We did it, and we did it, we

got the dope and the bread, two for

the price of one.

Hey man, don't give me that motherfucking jazz,

I told you no fucking with dope.

Now what the hell was going on back

there?

We got fires for the smack, it's that

simple.

You know the heat from that dope is

going to burn your motherfucking ass.

You let us worry about that.

Hey man, take that shit out of your

ears, huh?

I told you I don't touch skag, that

shit is bad for the feathers.

Now take my cut from the cash.

All right, all right, don't get hot.

All right, all right, all right, all right,

all right, all right, all right, all right,

What's the problem?

What are we stopping here for?

She's choking.

It could be feedback from that cyanide converter,

it's dangerous, better take a look at it.

I don't know, I don't know, I don't

know, I don't know, I don't know, I

don't know, I

don't know, I don't know, I don't know.

Mama, is that you?

Yes, son, it's your mama.

Are you hurting bad?

No, not too bad.

I'm just sorry you had to come to

a place like this.

Oh, that's all right.

I'm just sorry it had to happen.

Why'd you do it, Curtis?

You know you can't mess with the man.

Oh, Mama, sometimes a man has to do

what he has to do.

That's all.

Yes, but they're gonna put you in jail

just as soon as you're able to leave

here.

I've tried all my life to do the

best I could for you.

Oh, I know you have, Mama.

Don't you worry.

You know the only thing I've done better

than get in trouble is getting out of

it.

Well, just tell me now that you won't

do anything foolish, and you're gonna take care

of yourself?

You know I'll do that.

You just take care of yourself for me.

Ever since he left Brooklyn, Austin keeps tripping

over his own thumb.

Oh, dear.

Just one side of the money.

Hook, Curtis Xavier.

Okay.

Alex, take off his leash.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

He's all mine now.

Okay.

Okay, showtime.

Hook, take it all off.

Put it on the counter.

Hook, Curtis Xavier.

Xavier.

One belt, leather, black, and, uh...

What kind of buckle would you call this?

Gold, brother, 18-karat.

What'd you say?

Speak up.

I said gold, 18-karat gold.

18-karat gold.

What the hell are you laughing about?

The only gold you got's in your mouth.

That's what all my friends call me, golden

mouth.

Shirt, uh, blue, silk.

Shower's over there.

If you need any help with the hard

parts, just call.

I think I can handle it myself, my

man.

Not in the slams, baby.

Nobody can handle it all by themselves in

the slams.

Face front.

Hold the card on your chest.

Memorize your CPI number.

Stencil it on all your possessions.

The California Penal Identity and Cell Bracelet must

be worn at all times and shown to

any of the prison staff on demand.

Any tampering with, loss of, or exchange of

these identity items will be considered illegal activity

and punishable with solitary confinement.

You're in cell 37.

Some brothers in there to ease your orientation.

You mean square me away, man?

Open up, Walt.

Got a streak from the warden's office.

They want you to step and fetch it.

Looks like you're gonna be a special dude

around here.

They tell me the only special dudes around

here are the faggots.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,

ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Look out, Walt!

Ow!

Jordan and Howard both

really blew it.

Right on.

Hook?

Cigarette?

No, I don't smoke no cigarettes, Mr. Warden.

Hook, you know why these guys are here.

They got hard information.

The syndicate's got a contract out on you.

We don't give a shit about the murder.

We'll let you off this time.

We want the dope, Hook, and the money.

We can give the D.A. a solid

narcotics case against the syndicate if you'll cooperate.

There you go, singing the same old song,

Sergeant.

I am here on a one-to-five

for a concealed weapon and stolen car.

And you know doggone well you can't make

that murder charge stick.

Knock off that crap, Hook.

Now listen to me.

This is a modern prison.

Your civil rights will be protected to the

full extent of our capability.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Well, goddamn it, I got 5,000 men

out there.

This facility was designed for 1,200.

You figure it out.

I have, Mr. Warden.

If the syndicate wants my ass, there ain't

shit that you can do.

Is that right?

A million and a half dollars.

A man could really flash on that, couldn't

he, Hook?

Depends on the man, sir.

Worth taking a chance for?

Well, you sit on it.

The FBI will keep right on looking.

Thank you, Hook.

Thank you.

He'll come around.

What are you doing there, Glover?

A machine broke down here.

Harry, you want to fix it for me?

You know I know nothing about machinery.

Come on, Harry.

I've seen you handle a knife and fork.

Asshole!

Ow!

Okay, nigger lover.

We're going to give you the beauty treatment.

We're going to turn you into a genuine

jigaboo, just like your friend, Macy.

Boss is wrong.

I didn't tell Macy.

Glover!

I'm telling you, the boss is wrong.

I didn't tell Macy.

I didn't tell him anything.

Glover!

Glover!

Well, I'll give Mr. Cappiello your message.

No!

No!

Glover, you're a goddamn animal.

What animal?

Harry, it was an accident.

It was one of ours.

All right, let's go.

Hey, man, we got a piece down here.

My bitch.

You got a big butt boy this time.

You know, Jesus loves you.

Jesus loves you.

Let's go.

Hey, how you doing?

I want to welcome you to the presidential

suite.

My name is Henry.

My man, Macy, right over here.

What's happening, fellas?

Hey, come on, Macy.

Take it off him, Mr. Hoke.

I had you slotted in here, Hoke.

Think I wouldn't save a top spot for

my man?

Cost me quite a few zoos, you dig?

Well, I hope I can make it up

to you, big brother, you know.

You're kind of a smart ass, aren't you,

Hoke?

Good thing I like smart asses, ain't it,

Henry?

Look, brother, say what you got to say,

okay?

Maybe he thinks I'm bullshitting, Henry.

Dangerous place, CPI.

A lot of hunkies.

A lot of jive-ass junkies.

Faggots.

A whole lot of shit going down.

You can't make it in here by yourself.

The brothers, they stick together and help each

other.

You know something, Macy?

I get the impression that you can help

me, you know?

But what I can't figure out is how

can I help you?

You just stay cool, Hoke.

Try it your way, the smart ass way.

You'll figure it out.

Won't take too long, either.

Man doesn't get away with a million five

in cash unless he's smart.

You've got a lot to lose.

God damn it, Morris, come on!

Where is he?

Where is he?

They assigned him to the North 4 before

I could take care of it.

In a Jigaboo Hilton with Macy.

I want him out of there.

I want him isolated.

Do I have to draw you a picture?

I told you I'll take care of it,

didn't I?

You're fucking A-right you'll take care of

it.

You're the captain, aren't you?

Let's get these blankets out of here now.

Spider!

This causes accidents.

You've heard that, haven't you?

Very careless of you getting your black ass

sent here.

You'd better arrange a little accident for yourself,

nigger.

Get your nigger asshole out of here, quick.

You're not very fucking bright, are you, Glover?

You know, you're going around talking about nigger

this and nigger that.

Man, fuck niggers.

That ain't shit.

What the hell are you talking about?

They've given you and Macy a line of

shit, man.

You're going around fucking each other, playing hunky

and playing nigger.

For what?

Get your men cut up, you get them

stomped and you get them killed.

It's less trouble for the man, huh?

Hey, wait a minute.

Maybe you get paid for this shit, huh,

Glover?

What's the matter with you?

Think you ain't never heard a nigger talk

big before?

Gonna be a sick call for you tomorrow,

Hook.

One way or the other.

Mr. Williams.

Mr. Brombrough.

Prisoner Okotoshi,

your visiting period is terminating.

Prisoner Okotoshi.

Come here with your bad self.

Come on, sit down, baby.

So, how you been?

You been all right?

Fine, I'm fine.

How you been doing?

You know I'm always gonna make it, baby.

Oh, yeah, I know.

But I just miss you.

Yeah, I've been worried about you, but you're

okay.

Yeah.

Well, look, I wanna talk to you about

something.

Have they been messing with you?

Well, the FBI came by the station, but

no problem.

Well, what do they want?

Oh, just trying to find a new charge

to hit you with.

Same old shit.

Give it back.

Whatever the hell they're looking for, if you

got it.

Hey, baby.

Now, look, you gotta listen to me.

You gotta believe in where my head is

at.

Because whatever goes down here, I'm gonna leave

here a different nigger.

I do believe in you, Hook, but you've

got to level with me.

No, that's the way it ain't gonna be.

It's safer for you.

And it's safer for me, too, baby.

Okay, I'm sorry.

Now, look, sorry ain't gonna get it.

You gotta trust me.

I want you to go see Jackson Barney.

Jackson Barney?

Jackson Barney.

That's jive time, Hustler.

That's the last thing you need.

But that's what I want you to do.

Hey, how'd he get that button fixed?

Did you check his crotch, officer?

Very suspicious.

Hook, Curtis X.

Okay, Hook, keep your ass clean.

How come you ain't cracking for the struggle,

brother?

Right on.

If Buster's gonna make it, you'll be there,

brother.

Without me.

Better watch your step.

There's something in the works for you.

Don't ask me what, I don't know.

Well, how come I'm on your telephone line?

I just want to save your ass.

Especially your ass.

You better take this.

No, thank you.

My ass is gonna have to take its

own chances.

Okay, shoot yourself.

Who's that?

This is Watch Captain Stamble.

Be alerted for any unusual activity in the

brink.

Hey, hey, this ain't no thing, man.

Hey!

Hey, Macy.

No hard feelings, huh?

My man got cut.

Four to one and your boy gets cut.

Hard to figure.

Yeah, it is hard to figure, ain't it?

Well, maybe there's something going on you don't

understand.

I don't give a shit what's coming now.

Hook's mine, understand?

We have you targeted.

Return to your cell.

Sit down, Hook.

Okay, leave him.

Doesn't make sense, does it, Hook?

Just one knife.

Why would one lone black attack four members

of a white gang in the yard even

if he knew they were unarmed?

And the last time those four went out

unarmed was when they came out their mother's

womb.

Then again, if they did attack you, the

knife ended up in the wrong back.

Just doesn't make sense.

You know what I think?

Somebody set you up.

A man smart like you must have some

ideas.

You've gone to a lot of trouble for

nothing, Captain.

You're right.

You're absolutely right.

I set you up.

All that bread disappeared.

The syndicate wants its money back.

There's a contract out on you, man.

You're scaring the wrong liver, Captain.

You know, I came here to be rehabilitated.

To find a useful trade.

I'm your friend.

Don't outsmart yourself.

You're going to need a friend before you're

through.

Well, I appreciate your offer of friendship, Captain.

You're going to appreciate it a hell of

a lot more before I'm through.

That's just to remind you that Captain Otis

P.

Stamble is your friend.

I was cruising down the street the other

day and I caught this little old thing.

Yeah.

Turned out to be nothing but sport, though,

man.

But I had a bomb.

You should have seen it.

Looky here.

Pistachio, lime, green.

You're going to be the first on your

block.

Honey, I am the first.

Now, where's Jackson Barney?

Right through there.

Thank you.

Yes, indeed.

You ain't the first, Mama.

And you won't be the last.

Well, you know how that is.

Hey, I like your ride, brother.

Yeah, man.

Charles?

It's Rina.

Are you alone?

Charles, when am I coming over to play

doggie under your desk?

Look, I've got to take a little run

over to China in a few days.

I don't want to go to China.

Well, you're going whether you want to go

or not.

You've been begging me for my body.

This is your chance to get it on

Chinese soil.

It'll be so much fun.

Yes.

I want to see Barney.

Let her in, Roger.

She's a friend of a friend.

You're next, Cherie.

Well, Miss Danielle, have a seat.

Thank you.

Now, tell me about my friend the Hook.

How's he doing in the South?

Not as well as you, Mr. Barney.

Hook needs to see you.

I'll take a run up one of these

days.

Be sure and leave me your phone number.

Perhaps we can run up together.

It's a little more urgent than that.

Look, I can see you busy, but perhaps

I could pin you down to a day

next week.

Hook doesn't need me.

He needs a good lawyer, a good white

Jewish lawyer.

The best a million and a half dollars

can buy.

He needs your help with no strings attached.

No strings attached?

Look, who's that dude there in the monitor?

I don't know.

Well, he followed you up here, see?

You get your head together.

I've got some questions to ask you about

that million five.

Get your hands off of me, pimp.

Come on, baby.

Pimp?

If he's a pimp, what does that make

us, girls?

Votella?

Yeah.

3838, maximum security.

Yeah, fifth floor checks, that's it.

Full count, all correct.

Oh, full count, Captain, we can go home.

Sign here, Moreno.

Get your man posted.

All right, now.

I want y'all guys to get your

butts and your elbows.

And you get that skull bone, boy.

Pretty Henry.

How's it going, Pretty Henry?

You really get your rocks off, man.

I sure do, Henry.

And I'll be right there behind you, too.

You sure enough sweet.

Macy, Macy, Macy.

How's it going, Macy?

How's the wife and the kids, man?

Oh, man, I'm sorry.

You ain't seen your wife and kids in

two years.

Hey, brother.

God damn, you stink.

Take two towels, man.

Get your ass in there.

And don't you guys drop that soap in

there and bend over.

Okay, go take a break, now, fellas.

Come on.

Come on, you honky suckers.

You next, brother.

That's cute, Macy.

Cute.

Mr. Cappiola's gonna love it.

You and I are gonna start a business.

We're gonna celebrate, Huck.

If we're gonna have a party, I'm gonna

search the guests, starting with you.

You know who I am.

I don't give a shit who you are.

Just face that wall, and you too, Sambo.

Wait a minute, baby.

I'm gonna take you to school.

You gotta learn your lessons.

You tell your boy to do what he's

told, because I don't want to get shit

on my shoes kicking his ass.

I'd like to see you two tangle, but

the champagne's getting warm.

Zack, you're gonna take the shit off of

this punk.

It's all right, Zack.

He ain't nothing but trouble.

Be a good boy, do what the man

says.

I think I should kick his ass right

now.

God damn it, who told you the thing?

Get up against the wall.

You better watch that thinking, Sambo.

You good, huh?

Huh?

All right, sit down.

Come on, sit over here.

Come on, sit down.

Sit down.

Simple-ass nigger.

Satisfied?

This joint is just like the outside dock.

Lots of different ways to do a job.

The warden has his way, I've got mine.

I only drink with friends, man.

Hey, let me teach this nigger some manners.

Shit, he thinks he's so god damn cool

that I can rub his ass.

God damn it, will you shut up?

It's my damn job.

You're really too much, Hook.

You know that, don't you?

Look, Campiola, you had me set up for

this in the yard.

Now what do you want here?

It's a dangerous situation here.

Blacks against the whites, whites against the blacks.

It's getting worse.

It's bad, bad for business.

I want a tough man like you to

give me some leverage with the brothers.

You need a head nigger?

Try him?

I want you to work for me, Hook.

I don't want you to work for anybody

else.

What do you say?

Bullshit.

You better sit down, brother.

Sit down, Zack.

He's not gonna do anything.

There's a contract out on you, Hook, and

I've got it.

The organization wants their money.

Now you listen to this, Campiola, and you

listen right.

I don't know where that money is, but

I've got some ideas.

But if you kill me, that's the end

of it, for you and the organization.

I'm not planning on killing you.

Just a little friendly persuasion.

It's open.

Come in.

Good morning.

Sure is a beautiful day, isn't it?

My name is Captain Stamble.

I'm with the California Penal Institution.

I'd like to talk to you about your

friend, Curtis Hook.

Did Hook send you?

No, but he's gonna be mighty glad I

came.

You know, it's a beautiful apartment you got

here.

You know, that newscasting must pay pretty good.

What do you want to tell me about

Hook?

Well, I'd talk better sitting down.

Well, sit.

I'm just getting ready to make some breakfast.

Mr. Hook's in about as much trouble as

a man can get in.

About a million and a half dollars' worth.

There ain't no money.

It's just a bunch of crap the police

are trying to hang on him.

But let's just suppose that there is.

And good old Hook knows where it is.

Now it ain't doing him no good in

the slums.

Yes, Captain.

Look, I could take that money, put a

little bit here and a little bit there,

get him transferred to the farm, clean his

prison record, expedite his parole, and he can

be at a halfway house getting weekend furloughs.

You're crazy.

There ain't no money, and I wish you'd

get that into your head.

He's gonna tell you where it is.

You're gonna convince him.

You little fuckshooter.

Now how the hell you think he's gonna

tell me when he don't know where the

money is?

I think it's time for you to go.

He has been a pleasure.

Come back here, I want to talk to

you.

I can make him a deal that he

can live with, a three-way split, you,

him, and me.

Nigga, please.

Now what do you think the police would

say about you coming in here visiting prisoners'

girlfriends?

Well, hell, let's find out.

Operator, give me the police.

There's a contract out on Hook.

He needs all the protection he can get.

I can help him.

Police Department?

Yeah, let me speak to...

You know, you and I would make a

pretty good team.

Let's discuss your split.

Coming!

Inspector, Federal Bureau of Investigation.

I'd like to ask you a few questions,

Miss Daniel.

Won't take but a minute.

Excuse me.

I'll be back to talk to you about

that life insurance policy.

See you...

soon?

Sure.

How's it hanging, brother?

This goddamn train's plugged up again.

Okay, check the outlet.

Let's go.

Mr. Cappiello wants to keep it moving.

You gonna risk it with him here?

Don't worry about him.

You're gonna take care of him.

Help!

Dick!

Wait on me!

Come on!

Hopper!

What the hell is going on here?

I got some...

bleach in my eyes, man.

I was just trying to help him...

get it out.

Get him to the dispensary.

Hook, let's go see the captain.

Well, that Watergator family and Buck Payo.

You know, if I had me that kind

of dough, I'd open me a massage parlor

and make jerking off pay.

Yeah.

Next.

Our reporter, Iris Daniels, is on the scene

at the beginning of the end of an

era.

All right, next.

All right, what the hell do you need?

A goddamn invitation?

Something interesting on television?

They're only tearing down the old amusement pier.

You'll never miss it.

Sit down, Hook.

No, man, I don't want to sit down.

Okay.

Let's see.

Unauthorized work stoppage, fighting with a prisoner.

You look like hell.

Hey, man, you got something to say, say

it, okay?

Capiola wants you back down the laundry with

Glover.

You're gonna get your black ass integrated.

Yeah, and Glover's gonna be pissing blood for

a week, too.

Yeah, and you're gonna piss blood for the

next five years, sucker, if you make it

that long.

But look, I'll tell you what I'll do

for you.

I'll get you another job.

Move you in with Macy for safekeeping.

Yeah, play both ends against the middle, huh?

Well, Capiola is not gonna like that kind

of talk from his house, nigga.

Man, you got the wrong end of the

stick.

That Dago is mine.

Sure, I mean, he pays me good for

a few privileges.

Yeah, like moving smack through the laundry?

That's small shit.

For the kind of money that I'm talking

about, I'd cut off Capiola's water just like

that.

I know what's bothering you.

You're kind of missing that pussy of yours,

ain't you?

Hey, man, I don't play that shit now.

Slow your roll, homeboy, slow your roll.

Look, I can make you a trustee, move

you down to the farm in about six

months.

In about a year, you can be back

on the streets and back in the old

groove.

Oh, I thought you were smart, Hook.

We could split the money 50-50.

That old foxy-ass broad of yours, she

didn't take any of the arrangements.

You trust her, don't you?

You know, you got everything figured out, man.

You got everything figured out except one thing.

Yeah, what's that?

If I knew where that money was, I

wouldn't tell a knock-kneed, fat-ass faggot

like you.

Jealous.

Remember, Hook, it's a long race, man.

Don't bet your money on a short horse.

Come on, what do you guys say?

Come on, move on.

Let's go, move on.

Let's go.

Come on, let's go.

Move on.

Let's go.

Come on, what's happening, big man?

Don't sit down, man.

I said don't sit down.

Hey, man, just pretend I'm not here and

don't worry yourself.

I want to see Cappiello.

You had your chance.

You're gonna go in your turn.

Hey, man, who are you?

Are you working for Cappiello or are you

in business for yourself?

I want to see the man.

Wanting ain't getting, baby.

Like, look, you tell me, and maybe I'll

deliver the mail.

Hey, brother, you know about the mail, don't

you?

Slow?

Look, Huck, you got a long way to

go.

Glubber ain't even begun on your case yet,

and I ain't even started.

You dig it?

Look, brother, don't strain yourself here because you

can have me any time you want.

But right now, you tell your boss that

I got to see him right away.

I'm gonna make other arrangements.

They need a chef in this place.

It's after lockup.

You clowns are supposed to be in your

cells.

You heard what the man said.

I don't need your blessings.

Get your asses out.

You need a rest, Captain.

You ought to take yourself a little vacation

in Vegas.

Be my guest.

Shit.

There's hotter action in Vegas right here.

You're getting paid well, Stamble.

Huck is none of your business.

I'm making him my business.

Ten percent.

150,000.

I'll go to Vegas on my own.

I'll tell you what I'll do.

This is my best offer.

I don't bargain.

Take it or leave it.

You turn around and get your big black

ass out of here, and I'll forget what

you just said.

Who the fuck do you think you are,

huh?

That's right.

You want to run the world, don't you,

huh?

You think you're God, huh?

Let me tell you something.

I run this world.

I'm God here.

Look, with one word, your life will come

to a screeching halt, just like that.

I can have you in a padded cell

just like that.

I've got you for the next three years.

Three years.

You hear me?

Three...

You black son of a bitch!

You listen to me.

You think I'm some punk asshole you can

push around?

Ten percent.

For that kind of money, I could have

you replaced with a white man.

Think that one over.

Think this over.

You got exactly 100 percent of nothing so

far, which could...

Help the man, somebody!

Help him!

I've got a message for you, Hook.

Mr. Capiello is going to see you tonight.

Yeah, man, but why don't you guys do

something about him, man?

Oh, I wouldn't worry about him, Hook.

I'd worry about...

Man, why don't you do something about him?

This shit gets worse every year since they

dropped the untouchables.

You want to see me, Hook?

Yeah, but how come little Black Sambo ain't

around to protect you?

Because I might want to talk to you

about what your man Glover laid on you

in the laundry.

I heard you wiped his ass for him.

I won't hold it against you, Hook.

Thanks a lot.

I'll, uh, put that on your account because

we got some business.

Oh?

Yeah.

I know where the money is.

All of it.

One million five.

Where?

Well, now, if I tell you where, that's

my ass, isn't it?

The question is how.

How what?

How you gonna get me out of here.

I saw that, uh, I could deliver the

money.

I'm way ahead of you, Hook.

I figured that might be your price.

Yeah, I figured that you would, uh, figure.

But now you figure this.

My take is gonna be one third.

That's right.

You can take the million, and I'll keep

the five.

I'll be a son of a bitch, you're

beautiful, Hook.

I'm gonna regret losing you.

It has to happen quick.

We gotta get moving fast or we're gonna

lose the dough.

The operation takes a week.

The wall in the utility yard is not

too high for a guy with the right

equipment.

Padded grappling hook and 30-foot rope.

Glover can get the hook made up for

me in the machine shop.

Yeah, he'd like that, wouldn't he?

Hooks for Hook.

Night count is the only time.

The guards come off the searchlights for the

head count.

That leaves just one guard in each tower

till they finish the count.

The only lights are the overheads on the

walls.

I figure you've got about ten minutes.

No, no, no, that's not enough time.

Yeah, but once I miss night call, Istanbul

is gonna have everything he's got on that

wall, and I'm still inside.

Unless he thinks you've already made it.

Then it's a matter for the state police.

When they stand down on the wall, you

go over.

Let's go, Hook.

I'm going on my break.

Sorry, Mr. Cappiello.

That's okay, Morris.

I'll deliver, Mr. Cappiello.

You and Cappiello are getting pretty tight, huh?

Just remember, Hook, when the squeeze starts, we'll

see who has who by the balls.

Now, come on, Punk.

Hey, you're

blocking my car.

Get in.

We can talk on the way.

Look, whatever way you're going, I'm going the

other way.

That's too bad.

Brother Hook will be disappointed.

Meaning what?

Meaning he's gotta see us right away.

Want a

little blow?

No, thanks.

Look, Hook and I have been up and

down for a long time.

How come all of a sudden you're his

long-lost friend?

You wouldn't believe it if I told you,

but he risked his life to save my

ass.

You're right.

I don't believe it.

Asses must have been cheap in those days.

Speak for yourself, my dear, but believe me,

it was the bottom line, and Hook's name

was written all over it.

Where's Hook?

Number four.

How you doing, old buddy?

Okay.

How'd you like to take a ride?

I ain't going nowhere.

Here's a bus ticket.

Don't like buses.

Too uncomfortable.

Oh, yeah?

Take a plane.

How you doing, baby?

How you doing?

Hey!

How you doing, my man?

Oh, everything's beautiful.

All right, good.

Give me a second, okay?

Okay.

Hey, I see you took care of the

guard, huh?

Good on me, baby.

Always trying to make life a little sweeter

for my friend.

You look a little over-trained, Hook.

But look here, don't worry, man.

As soon as they find what they're looking

for, everybody will lighten up on your case.

You'll do a year at the most.

Hey, buddy, man, it can't be that way.

Look, now, I've got the money, and I'm

coming out here now.

Jeez, girl.

You're taking a hell of a chance.

Listen, I'll take care of your money.

Trust me.

You'll be here when you get back.

Now, you know I trust you, baby.

That's why you're coming in here, to get

me out.

Who, me?

My man.

You certainly go first class.

That's right, but that's not the only thing.

I got a surprise for you, brother.

It's got to be tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night?

That's right.

You see, no rehearsal, man.

Nothing changes, huh?

Right, buddy?

Yeah, except my ass is getting older.

Oh, this is insane.

You just don't escape out of a place

like this anytime you want.

Look, I'm not gonna escape.

I'm gonna disappear.

How you gonna do that?

I'll show you what I'm gonna do, man.

Look at this.

It's all right there, baby.

Everything.

And Barney.

We're gonna split it right down there.

Yeah.

Ten years apiece.

Time's up, folks.

Let's go.

Let's go.

All right, all you monkeys, hit it!

Break me out!

Get your ass over there by that bed.

Glover?

DM-4333.

DM-4333.

You know him, Glover?

Why are you asking me, Mario?

Oh, I don't know.

Mr. Capulet ain't gonna like this.

He's out of business, and so are you.

Get him to the dispensary.

What the hell is DM-4333?

Chico, flush it!

Hit it!

Hit it, you perverts!

My grandmother died.

And 14 bottles of, uh, rectal.

Rectal?

Take care of him.

Oh, yeah.

Sure, we'll take care of him.

Let's put him up here, Henry.

We'll take care of him.

We're the caretakers of this place, ain't we,

mate?

Call the hospital after.

You understand?

Yes, Sergeant, we understand.

Alarm, Ralph.

Tell me something, Glover.

Would you like your ass for now, or

would you like it later?

Say what?

Think it yourself.

I'd clear up your connection.

What you wanna go and open up that

man's wounds like that for?

Let's take him over there and wash him

up.

Come on, get up.

Get out of here!

Take it easy, you hear me?

The hooker needs help, man.

It's good for everything that ails you.

Just a good, long drink of water.

Call the hospital, Henry.

This gentleman appears to have had a bad

accident.

Can you give me them nightglasses, Mr. Capule?

It's important.

Very important.

Okay, I'll take care of that.

Don't worry.

All right.

See you later.

Shit hit the fan.

They knocked over three or four Glover's punks.

They got the laundry, too.

So Stamble wants to play games, huh?

Surprise!

Oh, shit.

Do you use this truck in your work?

Turn in tricks for Jackson?

How many times do I have to tell

you I'm not one of Barney's bimbos?

Let's go upstairs.

I wanna hear about your visit.

What he said, what you said.

I'm sick of this.

Listen, I can have Hook in the hole.

In the what?

Solitary confinement.

The hole.

You won't see him for three months.

I knew that would make your little antenna

stand up.

I'll give you $500,000 for yourself.

And Mr. Hook, he'll be very grateful to

you.

Oh, that's really nice, but I don't need

your company.

Well, I need yours.

Hey, give me a bucket.

Hey, you better buy a stick, bitch, or

I'll kill you.

Come on here, woman.

You either cooperate with me, I'll have your

boyfriend in a pad at sale, and I'll

see that he rocks.

Bitch!

Why don't you get away from Big Daddy,

huh?

Hey, make it easy on yourself.

All right.

All right.

All right, off you are.

Everybody out.

Get out your names and come by me.

All right.

All right, bye.

Bye-bye.

Come here.

This is Chavez.

Chavez.

Barra.

Barra.

Hey, find his name right there.

What's your name?

Abraham.

All right, okay.

Johnson.

Johnson, yeah.

I know I've seen that guy somewhere.

Johnson.

Thank you.

Take care.

You ain't got till lunch, huh?

Noodle.

All right, all right, all right.

What's your hurry, huh?

Damn new clutch.

Jumpy, just like my old lady.

What do you say, old buddy?

There you go.

Simmons Carl.

That's me.

Now, look, I got the John on the

list, but I ain't got your name.

I don't know nothing about that.

I was just told to bring in the

crap.

Jesus, huh?

You know, they're supposed to let us know

if our personnel changes.

No skin off my ass, man.

I get paid by the hour.

They'll have to crap in their hats.

All right, all right.

Take it in, Simmons Carl, huh?

Okay.

I'll do that.

Hey, look, you better tell that dispatcher of

yours to get on a stick or I'll

stop letting you guys through.

Shit.

Take a stick to get that son of

a bitch off my ass.

Come on.

I'm yours, buddy.

I'm yours.

You gonna let this come down like it's

coming?

Shit, we ain't gonna be able to do

a goddamn thing if Macy takes over.

You getting worried, Zack?

You're goddamn right.

It's not going that far.

Stambo thinks he's cracking the whip, but he'll

quiet down when he reads the numbers at

the bottom of the page.

Macy ain't gonna get him those 40 acres

on that Cadillac, believe me.

Pardon me, Mr. Caviello.

Captain Stambo would like to have a word

with you.

Okay.

Take care of the wine, boys.

Save some for Papa.

I'll keep the door open.

Let me tell you, I didn't want you

speaking Spanish around here anymore.

You speak English if you want to stay

on this job.

You want it in English?

Bullshit!

Get to work, Spudgy.

Who taught you to put it here?

We gotta use this area.

I got six tons of cement blocks coming

in here.

I gotta have a three-foot clearance all

around this crap house, or you're gonna have

six tons of public health officials flying around

your ass.

Now, I don't give a shit myself.

Hell, I can use the bar on the

corner.

He's right.

He's right, sucker.

Well, I went by your house yesterday, and

the old boy looks just like me, man.

He even called me Daddy.

You got yourself a problem.

Get in, Macy.

I'm gonna have me a ball.

I've been looking for this for a long

time, Hulk.

Would you believe they used to call this

old man the Enforcer?

Never used any weapons.

Just his bare hands.

Oh!

Uh-uh-uh.

I've seen everything now.

Beating up on white folks.

Your wife's gonna be pleased to hear this.

You can write your own ticket now, Hulk.

You got the balls to run these cons.

You got the wrong boy, Standall.

Look, the WAP forgot who's running this prison,

but you're too smart for that crap.

And besides, hell, ain't nobody else left for

you to deal with but me.

Now, look, I've made my point.

Now, you make yours.

I'll talk to you tonight.

Go ahead.

Get on back to work.

I'm going to get some dirt for the

captain's plans.

What?

I said I'm going to get some dirt

for the captain's plans.

Is that all right?

Well, don't get too close to the wall,

because I ain't shot anybody since yesterday.

How you doing, Bill?

About finished.

Here comes one identification card.

Rope and grapple inside.

Hey, you with the bucket, was it take

all day?

Move on.

Okay, okay.

It's only for the captain, my man.

Afternoon, General.

What do you want at the shithouse?

You guys must be full of it.

I got one crapper in here already this

morning.

What a bummer.

Man, they're going to fire me for sure

this time.

I got another accident.

It's a chick.

It's always a chick.

This time a black chick cut me off

up that intersection.

I had to go back to the depot...

Hey, Buck, put a clamp on it, will

you?

Huh?

Huh?

That dispatcher of yours must have his head

up his ass.

You tell him I said so.

Oh, rude.

Take it up, Brian.

You got anybody in the cab?

Yeah, six or seven.

You mean six or seven empties, right, Simmons?

Right.

Okay, Simmons.

Look, you tell that dispatcher of yours, if

he's got his spare crapper, he'd better use

it himself.

Right on.

Take it down, Brian.

Who's out?

Buck, you want to spend the night?

Three minutes to lockup.

All prisoners proceed to their cells.

All prisoners proceed to their cells.

That's the one cell!

That's where he's at!

All prisoners proceed to their cells.

All prisoners proceed

to their cells.

3-16-1-6.

Hey, that's one short.

Get on the recount.

West 3, those idiots, they don't know how

to count.

The zoo's on West 3.

Let's have that first.

Cortez Santiago R.

Dishner Robert H.

Oh, Cortez, that...

Where is it?

Where is it?

Stay on search duty,

no exception.

Alert the swing shift.

Notify the LAPD and sheriff's department.

Goddamn LAPD!

Yes, sir.

Have all floor officers report to me at

once with their floor plans and escape SOPs.

Full-scale lockdown till further notice.

We're gonna keep him inside.

Yes, sir.

Wait a minute!

Notify the tower and get a verbal confirmation

from each guard to shoot Cortez down.

I don't want any goddamn mistakes.

I want that man alive.

Please, may I have a taxi at the

gas station at the corner of Oak and

Calandres?

Thank you.

Hey, officer.

Hey, can I get out of here now,

man?

I done been in there a whole week.

All right, this ain't office, man.

Hey!

Hey, Bob!

Get the hell out of there!

Where to, buddy?

Oh, boy.

All right, fella, just keep cool, and you

won't get hurt.

All right.

Come on, let's do a little driving.

Ah, don't look back.

Let your rear view down.

Anything you say, Yoda boss.

Uh, you mind if I throw the flag?

I don't care what you do.

Uh, I don't keep much money in the

cabin, not just a couple of bucks in

the cigar box here.

I've been robbed a couple of times before.

Tough shit.

Yeah.

Last time was about a year ago.

Big-colored guy, uh, Negro.

Shut up, or I'll kill you.

Afro-American.

Give me your matches.

Matches?

All right.

You mind if I ask you a question?

Yeah, I mind.

The less you know, the better for you.

I won't ask.

Hell, I don't know who it was.

I never saw anybody.

It might not be a prisoner.

Well, maybe you think it's a god or

something.

Somebody's helping him.

You know Michaelias?

Michaelias.

Over in North 4.

Get him down.

Yes, sir.

He's got a secret radio.

Broadcast messages into my head, Captain.

Shit.

North 4.

It's government code, Captain.

Top secret.

The boiler room opens on the loading yard,

and that's a short wall by Tower 3.

I think we'd better send out the escape

bulletin, Captain.

It goes on when I say so.

Should we at least notify the warden?

He won't be back until tomorrow.

We got time.

Now, come daylight, we're going over that yard

inch by inch.

Hook's not going anyplace.

$25.60. I'm not going to pay it,

see?

I know.

You're lucky to get out with your ass.

Now, keep driving and don't look back.

Get it?

Got it.

Good.

We lucked out.

He was perfect.

A nosy son of a bitch.

Do you think he noticed the van?

No way.

Stiffed him a $25 bill, left Hook's I

.D. for a tip.

You'll be hard to trot, baby.

Hey, I don't care about any goddamn escape

alert.

I hired one of your convicts right in

my cab.

Yeah.

A $25 joyride, that's what.

Hook.

Hook.

Curtis.

Hey, I can't tell much.

It's all burnt.

But it says Hook.

Well, he had a gun.

Yeah, he said he was going to shoot

my ear off.

That ain't nice.

Let's go.

Move it out.

Come on, men.

Shape up downstairs.

Let's go.

Move it out.

Shape up.

Get in line there.

Come on, Nicole.

Get over there.

Get moving.

Okay.

Shape up.

Take off those glasses.

Get that gut in.

What the hell are you laughing at?

Shape up, men.

Stop.

All present on the count of four.

Okay, Sergeant.

Move them out.

Yes, sir.

You heard the captain.

We're going over this yard with a fine

tooth comb.

You find anything, anything at all, you call

me.

I'll decide if you found anything.

Okay.

Move it out.

Move it.

Move it.

Check those bouncy blocks.

There may be space inside.

Come on.

Move it.

Move.

Ike, Kelly, Johnson.

Search the school area.

Hey, there's no way a man's car can

be so quick.

And check those damn vehicles.

Come on.

Let's move.

Move.

Look at these jackasses.

Move.

Calvin, check the trash for Hook.

Man, I just got me a manicure.

Calvin, get your ass in there right down

to the bottom.

But it's nasty in there, Sergeant.

Get your ass in there, Calvin.

Yes, sir.

All right, let's move it.

Did you find anything, Calvin?

Yeah, the rats, they went that-a-way.

You lazy son of a bitch.

Did you find anything, Sergeant?

Yes, sir.

No matter how hard you try, the last

few drops get on your shoes.

What's that lousy alcoholic?

God damn it.

Take over, Sergeant.

I'll be back.

Yes, sir.

Keep an eye on him for me.

All right, men.

Let's make another sweet tonight.

Move it out.

Let's go.

Move.

There are basic procedures in which to handle

a situation like that.

Now, you tell me, why did you not

contact the police?

Warden, he's still inside.

He couldn't have escaped that easily.

I've been chief guard here at C.P

.I. for 11 years.

Now, no one's escaped yet, and Hook's not

gonna be the first.

I just received a phone call from L

.A.P.T. Intelligence.

They informed me that a cab driver picked

him up last night.

What?

How in the hell they know it's him?

Because his I.D. tag was in the

backseat of the car, and I look like

a god damn fool.

We've got a man out.

We do not even have a god damn

bulletin out on that man.

Warden.

Shut up!

There is no exception.

There is no excuse.

Yes, sir.

Are you listening to me?

That whole thing with Hook, that just got

out of hand.

Yes, sir.

I will not.

I will not spend another god damn time

on your bad judgment.

Yes, sir.

Warden, listen to me, please.

Hook's still inside.

Now, you listen very carefully to me.

This will not happen ever again.

Yes, sir.

The prison will get back to normal right

god damn now.

Right, sir.

Yes, sir.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

I hope to sweet, bleeding Jesus you understand

me.

Yes, sir.

I will have your ass get out of

my office.

Now.

Yes, sir.

Move!

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Get out!

Yes, sir.

Three minutes to lockup.

All prisoners proceed to their cells.

All prisoners proceed to their cells.

We're going to start the night count, Captain.

What's the matter with him?

The warden took a big piece off his

ass.

Ah, he just got the rag on.

All guards, proceed with your night count.

All guards, proceed with night count.

All guards, proceed with night count.

Nicolae says to say hello, Captain.

He's got to be out here.

What the hell's the matter with you, Wes,

boy?

You're always the last.

Will you get it on up there?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm going to hold it.

824.

Yeah, that's it.

Make it a little faster next time, will

you?

Yeah.

Night count is complete.

Not rehabilitation.

We're changing their minds.

This is what we have for the tele

-security game plan.

This is going to be a new kitchen.

We fought very hard to get the warden

to OK this.

Sergeant Marcello is probably his favorite program.

Oh, we had nutritional problems.

We had facility problems.

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Stop this!

Stop it!

Oh, God.

He had an accomplice.

Somebody on the outside.

Got the clothes and the ID tag out

to him.

Tamba was right.

He didn't make it out after all.

Bonjour, monsieur.

If you wish to reach Cannes by the

morning, you must depart very soon.

If you do not eat something, the same

might mean something.

Darling, you are such an enigma.

You tell me America is a land of

opportunity, but for the whites, vraiment?

You let them keep thinking that, darling, because

while they are making it, we will be

taking it, eh?

.
