Shut up!
:04:22
Make one more move
and I'll take you off at the neck.

:04:37
Robert F Stroud.
:04:44
Breaking that window
was a serious offence.

:04:46
It was hot. I was thinking of my lungs.
:04:49
Did you think about the consequences?
You might have started a riot.

:04:53
- Even a convict's got a right to breathe.
- Rights?

:04:57
I don't think you know
the meaning of the word.

:05:00
In 1909, in Alaska, you appointed yourself
judge, jury and executioner

:05:04
and killed one... Charles Dahmer
:05:07
because he allegedly beat up a friend
named Katie Malone... a prostitute.

:05:15
You were transferred here to Leavenworth
because of an inferior record.

:05:19
Now, I propose to give you a fresh start.
:05:21
Such rights as you will enjoy are listed
here in my rules and regulations.

:05:27
There are 86.
I suggest you memorise them.

:05:29
I know 'em. They're the same in all pens.
:05:32
They tell you when to eat,
when to sleep, when to go to the privy.

:05:35
Precisely. And what you'll do
for every minute 24 hours a day.

:05:41
You're going to be here
for nine long years, Stroud.

:05:45
So with or without your cooperation,
I intend to make a man of you,

:05:49
before you check out these gates.
:05:51
You'll conform to our ideas
of how you should behave.

:05:54
You'll learn the lesson now
or five years from now, but you'll learn.
