1:36:00
Mason?
1:36:01
Yes, I'm here.
1:36:03
I was just thinking
how wonderful it was...
1:36:06
when the inmates weren't
allowed to talk in here.
1:36:09
Not allowed to talk.
1:36:11
How did you do it?
1:36:14
[Sighs]
Nurtured the hope
that there was hope...
1:36:18
that one day I'd breathe
free air.
1:36:22
Perhaps meet my daughter.
1:36:25
Modest hopes,
but they kept a man alive.
1:36:29
What did they put you
away for, John?
1:36:33
Oh, that's a long story.
1:36:35
Well, I'm not
going anywhere.
1:36:38
When was the last communication
from our men on Alcatraz?
1:36:41
Seven hours.
1:36:43
- [Phone Rings]
- Thermite plasma is operational.
1:36:47
Get me the President.
1:36:50
Be seated. Gentlemen,
consider yourselves on ground alert.
1:36:53
If we receive launch authority,
your mission is...
1:36:56
the complete thermal destruction
of Alcatraz Island.
1:36:59
The entire island is to be blanketed,
not one square inch missed.
1:37:02
Eighty-one American civilians
and a number of US Marines
will lose their lives.
1:37:09
Why didn't you just tell them
where the microfilm was
and create a solution?
1:37:14
[Chuckles]
The moment they had the
microfilm, they'd suicide me.
1:37:19
- Some solution.
- You ended up here.
1:37:22
Which brings me
to another question.
1:37:25
You broke out... let me see
if I can get this straight...
1:37:29
you went down the incinerator chute,
on the mine car,
1:37:33
through the tunnels
to the power plant,
1:37:36
under the steam engine...
that was really cool, by the way...
1:37:39
and into the cistern
through the intake pipe,
1:37:43
[Clears Throat]
but how, in the name
of Zeus's butthole,
1:37:47
did you get
out of your cell?
1:37:50
I only ask because
in our current situation,
1:37:53
well, it could prove to be
useful information, maybe!
