Have some betel-leaf;|Go on... it's great!

Since when have they started|having a parade here?

You've just arrived, sonny boy.|You'll get to know soon.

This new jailer is a nasty one!

- A nasty jailer, he says.|- There he is.

Attention, I say!

But they're already|at attention, sir.

I know that.

Prisoners!|This is a warning for you!

Everything that went unchecked|before my arrival here...

...will no longer be tolerated!

I've been a jailer since|the British days!

I don't belong to the breed|of jailers...

...who waste time, trying to|reform the prisoners!

I know it for a fact!|You guys can't be reformed!

How can you ever change,|when I have not changed?

I know, my words don't|go down well with you.

Which is why I am transferred|from every place I work in.

But despite all my transfers...|I have not changed!

So you'd better remember!

Don't think I am not informed|of all that you guys are up to!

I have spies everywhere|in the prison.

I get a report of every moment.

Not even a bird could|flap its wings here...

...without my consent!

- What the hell was that?!|- A bird... a pigeon, sir!

What's that in my eyes...|never mind!

This will do for today!|You may leave now.

Let's go!

Strange guy!

Who could be the jailer's spy?

I know that.|It's the barber, Hariram.

He's very thick with the jailer.|The swine!

Hariram, the barber?

Go ahead and shave|my moustache, Hariram.

It has all been arranged!

We get cracking tomorrow.

How many days will it take|to make the tunnel?

You've cut my face!

The tunnel? It should be|ready in about a week.

Where are we going to|dig the tunnel from?

It's from Barrack No. 9.

I hope the jailer|doesn't get to know!

No one will hear of it!

Let's go!

There. I'm through.

Yes, Hariram?|What news do you bring?

Be careful, sir. They're digging|a tunnel in the jail.

Oh, well! A tunnel in my jail...

What was that? A tunnel|in my jail?!

Yes, sir. The prisoners are|making a tunnel in the jail.

I've been a jailer since|the days of the British!

A tunnel in my jail, eh?

So this is where the|tunnel is being dug!

This is wonderful!

But you guys seem to have|forgotten that my spies...

...are spread out in|every part of the prison.

And what is this?

So this is the tool with which|you will dig the tunnel!

I'm a jailer... from|the British days!

Here he comes!

- Is it all arranged then?|- Yes.

We won't miss out this time!

A pistol has arrived|in the prison!

Has the pistol arrived?!

In just a couple of days,|the jailer and his spies...

A pistol in my prison, eh?

A pistol in my prison,|did you say?!

- A revolt?!|- That's right.

- Streams of blood?!|- Exactly.

Guards!

Halt!

Search every nook and corner|of the jail!
