When you're tortured,
the first thing they do is try
to break down your sense of self.

:46:11
And I broke in Hanoi.
:46:13
For weeks, the last thing in
my mind was self-preservation.

:46:17
In fact, I prayed
for death every night.

:46:22
And the only thing that kept me
from answering those prayers,

:46:25
were the voices of the men
in the other rooms--
your father among them.

:46:31
I don't care what you’ve heard, Yates.
They kept me alive.

:46:35
Not the other way around.
:46:39
Hey! Sir?
:46:42
You cost me my whole stash
of smokes.

:46:44
Oh. Well, I'm sorry about that.
:46:47
Well, you win some,
you lose some.

:46:52
So what did you mean earlier
about it being our wall?

:46:54
I mean, it's Winter's wall.
That fuck just makes us work it
to keep us occupied.

:46:58
It's like we're a bunch
of little kids or something.

:47:01
In 1 70, there was nothing here.
:47:04
The original prison was built
by prisoners. I want to show--

:47:07
I want to show you something
I found the other day.

:47:11
Where?
:47:13
Oh, here it is.
:47:16
You see this?
:47:19
’Private A.J. Beck, 1 91 2-1 923.’
:47:27
Now why do you suppose
Private Beck--

:47:30
What do you think he was doing,
building his own prison?

:47:33
- How the fuck do I know?
- Well, I don't know either,
but I can make a guess.

:47:39
My guess is he wasn't
building a prison.

:47:43
My guess is he was
building something else.

:47:46
They may have told him to build
a prison, but, in his own mind,

:47:49
he was raising walls
to protect himself.

:47:55
My guess is he was
building a castle.

:47:59
That's a castle?
