:32:01
I wish I could tell you that...
:32:03
...but prison is no fairy-tale world.
:32:07
He never said who did it.
:32:09
But we all knew.
:32:16
Things went on like that for a while.
:32:18
Prison life consists of routine...
:32:21
...and then more routine.
:32:26
Every so often, Andy would show up
with fresh bruises.
:32:31
The Sisters kept at him.
:32:33
Sometimes he was able
to fight them off.
:32:35
Sometimes not.
:32:38
And that's how it went for Andy.
:32:40
That was his routine.
:32:43
I do believe those first two years
were the worst for him.
:32:47
And I also believe that
if things had gone on that way...
:32:51
...this place would have
got the best of him.
:32:54
But then, in the spring of 1949...
:32:57
...the powers that be decided:
:32:59
The roof of the license-plate factory
needs resurfacing.
:33:03
I need a dozen volunteers
for a week's work.
:33:06
As you know...
:33:09
...special detail carries with it
special privileges.
:33:12
It was outdoor detail...
:33:15
...and May is one damned fine month
to be working outdoors.
:33:20
Stay in line there.
:33:21
More than a hundred men
volunteered for the job.
:33:29
Wallace E. Unger.
:33:32
Ellis Redding.
:33:35
Wouldn't you know it?
:33:37
Me and some fellows I know
were among the names called.
:33:40
Andrew Dufresne.
:33:43
It only cost us
a pack of smokes per man.
:33:46
I made my usual 20 percent, of course.
:33:49
So this big-shot lawyer
calls me long-distance from Texas.
:33:52
I say, "Yeah?"
:33:54
He says, "Sorry to inform you,
but your brother just died."
:33:58
- I'm sorry to hear that.
- I'm not. He was an asshole.
