The rules and regs,

and the King James Bible.

I highly recommend

you read them both.

Now for those stupid enough

to think about escaping, go ahead.

Climb the razor wire.

Do the breaststroke.

Freeze your ass off.

If the bay doesn't kill you,

we'll pick you up in a Zodiac...

...and add five years

to your sentence.

There's only one way

off this rock, homeys.

And that key is under my pillow.

I'm a fair man. You come to me

with a problem, I'll listen.

Dead man walking.

This man is about to make history.

He will be the first to die

in Alcatraz's execution chamber.

It is unfortunately my duty

to carry this out...

...at midnight tonight.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice

Jane McPherson has just landed...

...at New Alcatraz to witness

the execution of Lester McKenna.

She Is the judge

who sentenced McKenna...

...In the now Infamous heist of almost

$ 200 million of U.S. Gold brick.

Here's the twist. McKenna stashed

the gold before he was apprehended.

He vowed never to divulge

its whereabouts...

...which led to the treasure hunt by

the FBI thats gone on for 17 years.

Now Its looking like McKenna just

might take his secret to the grave.

Reporting live from Pier 39

on Fishermans Wharf...

...I'm Kelly Lange

from San Francisco.

Hey, Mark.

Hey, William.

Here we are.

Now, lets check in your guns.

- I think we'll keep our guns.

- Then get off my island.

- Its okay, Juan. I'll sign off on it.

- No, Frank. I won't.

I don't care if she is

a supreme court justice.

- No disrespect intended.

- None taken.

This is my island.

As long as its my watch,

only me and my boys go strapped.

What is it they call you?

- El Fuego.

- The fire?

Do what he says.

Yo, Sasch!

Yeah.

I really messed things up

this time, didn't I?

Yes, you did.

I'm starting to miss the love

from the streets.

Thats gonna be an issue, isn't it?

What you think, man? I can't

do no five years in this joint.

Here, player. Read a book.

Whats this, man?

- When Lovers Collide.

- Its a good book.

You can't be serious.

Petrosevitch, get up.

Someone wants to see you.

Hello, Jenny.

- Please Identify yourself.

- Kestner, Damon J.

Voice and handprint

recognition confirmed.

- How much time do you need?

- Phones are easy. Alarms worry me.

I gotta crack the firewall,

decode and override.

I don't care how you do it.

Do it in 90 seconds.

- Tie me off.

- Ninety seconds.

- Welcome to Slaughterhouse Five.

- Why they call it that?

A man can be executed five ways.

Lethal injection's the most popular...

...followed by gas chamber, hanging,

firing squad and my favourite:

Electrocution.

We do It all here In this totally

soundproof Isolation chamber.
