...while their less fortunate cohorts
are destined for the morgue.

:01:05
The body of Doc Barker,
son of the infamous Ma Barker...

:01:09
...lies bullet-riddled,
cooling on a steel gurney...

:01:12
...attended by a triumphant guard.
:01:15
The jubilant correctional officers
who foiled the escape...

:01:18
...congratulate each other
and reluctantly show their battle scars.

:01:22
A proud Warden Humson,
supervisor of three penitentiaries...

:01:26
...Folsom, San Quentin and Alcatraz,
and confidant of J. Edgar Hoover...

:01:30
...congratulates his troops.
:01:35
Humson returns to his duties...
:01:36
...as the inmates are sent
through metal detectors...

:01:39
...cells are searched,
extra guards are called up...

:01:42
...and Alcatraz goes on full alert
to forestall any additional trouble.

:01:47
As public interest reached a frenzy...
:01:50
...Warden Humson
and Associate Warden Glenn...

:01:52
...left the island in the bay
for a press conference...

:01:55
...headed for the San Francisco City Hall...
:01:57
...which was inundated with a plethora
of reporters from around the globe...

:02:02
...all gathered to hear the official reaction.
:02:06
Associate Warden Milton Glenn...
:02:08
...introduces Warden John Humson.
:02:11
Warden Humson will now make
a brief statement and...

:02:14
...if you please, no questions at the end.
Thank you.

:02:18
l just want to reassure
the American people that...

:02:21
...Alcatraz is an escape-proof prison.
:02:24
They have nothing to fear.
:02:27
The inmates, McCain and Young...
:02:30
...will be brought up on escape charges.
:02:33
There will be time in solitary confinement.
:02:35
Privileges will be taken away from them.
:02:38
And the whole rehabilitation process
will begin.
