Mr. Mason, I'm Special Agent
in Charge, Ernest Paxton.
:30:05
In charge of what? Fucking me over
for another three decades?
:30:09
I don't know anything about your
previous matters. I'm here because...
:30:12
a special situation exists that we feel
you might be able to help us with.
:30:15
Well, what might that be?
:30:17
I've been in jail longer than
Nelson Mandela, so maybe you
want me to run for president.
:30:21
- Not exactly.
- Mmm, a pity.
:30:25
I feel rather like Alcamenes.
:30:27
- Who?
- Alcamenes. He was imprisoned
by his king in ancient Greece.
:30:31
-Like Sir Walter Raleigh. The same fate.
-James the First.
:30:35
Even someone as bright as you
must be aware that, uh,
:30:39
there's a certain pattern
emerging here.
:30:41
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn?
:30:43
Yeah, I heard of him. Didn't he play
hockey for the fuckin' Red Wings?
:30:46
- That's the chap.
- Get this straight, pops.
:30:49
I don't like you any more
than you like me.
:30:52
But I'm here to make you
a legitimate offer.
:30:54
You wanna hear what
I have to say or not?
:30:57
By all means, dear Paxton.
By all means.
:31:01
We got a problem in a place
that I think you know.
:31:04
There's a hostage situation
on Alcatraz.
:31:06
- Hostage?
- Eighty-one tourists.
:31:10
The Rock has become
a tourist attraction?
:31:13
Why don't we cut the shit, huh?
You know The Rock.
:31:16
- You broke out.
- Yes, successfully.
:31:19
Yeah. So why don't you do yourself
a favor while you're helpin' us?
:31:22
I mean, it'd be nice to get out of jail
while you're still vertical.
:31:25
Hmm? While you got a little lead
left in your pencil.
:31:31
While I'm considering your offer...
:31:33
I want a suite
in the Fairmont Hotel.
:31:37
You know I'm here
to cut you a deal.
:31:40
I am not here to bend over
and take it up the ass from you.
:31:45
Here. Here's a quarter.
:31:51
Do yourself a favor. Call your lawyer.
You're goin' back to jail.
:31:59
- Y-You're sending him back to jail?
- I'm not sending him anywhere.
