1:18:01
They just wanted to get me back...
1:18:03
so they can have their revenge.
1:18:07
To keep me here nine more years!
1:18:10
Why, their crimes are worse than mine.
1:18:13
Worse than anybody here!
1:18:16
They're the ones that should be in chains,
not me!

1:18:19
You don't have to stay here nine years.
1:18:23
The Commission voted that if you were
a model prisoner for one year...

1:18:27
they would concede that you had paid
your obligations in full.

1:18:30
It's only nine months, Jim.
1:18:33
Nine months of this torture?
1:18:36
I won't do it!
1:18:39
I won't do it, I tell you!
1:18:42
I'll get out of here!
1:18:44
Even if they kill me for it!
1:18:46
It's still better to be honorably free.
1:18:50
And in those nine months,
we'll be working for you night and day.

1:18:54
But you've been working night and day!
1:18:57
It didn't do any good.
1:18:59
But, Jim, we'll have the whole country
behind you then...

1:19:02
and the state will be forced to release you.
1:19:09
All right.
1:19:13
I'll wait nine more months.
1:19:16
I'll be a model prisoner...
1:19:20
if it kills me.
1:19:58
Finally, not only has James Allen
been a model prisoner...
