When you get inside, you're gonna

have issues. They won't be with me.

You all right?

I'll see you on the inside.

- What are you packing?

- Its my leg.

I'm gonna ask again.

What are you packing?

This.

You wanna play rough?

I can play rough.

Sorry, I'm not into men.

You don't know who I am?

Just doing my job, boss.

- You gonna like this.

- Thats enough.

You gonna learn to respect me.

My kids hit harder than that.

Chump.

What you bringing

into my island, ese?

My knee. Its titanium.

- Which one?

- Left.

You got a hard head, homeboy.

Do yourself a favour.

Keep it on your shoulders.

All right. Back to work.

The attorney general

and Federal Bureau of Prisons...

...welcome you to the U.S. Federal

Penitentiary at Alcatraz.

Mr. Hubbard, Robert Kennedy

closed Alcatraz in 1963...

...claiming it was

cruel and inhumane...

Actually, he closed it in June of '62.

Whats your question?

Some say the new Alcatraz is a step

back in criminal warehousing...

...especially now with the inauguration

of your new execution chamber.

How do you respond?

Our society has become

more violent and more corrupt.

One out of every 30 men

in the United States is...

- Whats the word I'm looking for?

- Criminally challenged.

"Criminally challenged."

Thats the catch phrase now.

- You're not answering the question.

- I think we have a generational gap.

Perhaps my younger associate

can help clear things up.

Give them a good sound bite, Donny.

Alcatraz is a bad place

for bad people.

If there's any discomfort here,

thats how it should be.

Fresh meat, dog!

Welcome to la Isla de los Alcatraces.

The Island of Pelicans.

You've been transferred here as part

of a work program to retrofit my island.

But your free time will be spent

in a six-by-nine-foot cell.

I urge you:

Unplug. Kick your feet up.

You will leave a big chunk

of your lives here.

MI nombre es Juan Ruiz Escarzaga.

My first summertime job was walking

a super-maximum tier 30 years ago.

I walked it for over 15 years.

Been spit on, stabbed, burned.

And I'm still standing.

You think you're hard.

I'm harder.

You think you're mean.

I'm meaner.

Alcatraz es ml casa.

You are my guest.

I expect you to act like one.

Son of a b*tch!

- What hole are you on, Little Joe?

- Seventeen.

How you hitting it?

Like a mother. Just can't putt.

Little Joe here has a constructive

way of passing his free time.

I suggest you find something

of the same. Be creative.

Remember, this is the first day

of the rest of your life.

Ain't that right, Twitch?

Same old, same old, man.

Get a new rap, comprende?

I like my rap.

And here's the end of it.

You got two llbros in your bundle.
