They're coming. Run!
- No. Come on, this way.
I think I see them, Mr. Glenn.
To the water.
They're heading for the beach.
Down by the beach.
Look out. Run.
No. Doc, no!
Don't stop moving.
They're down there, Mr. Glenn.
- There they go.
Okay.
Lay down.
Hurry up.
Lay down or I'll shoot you, goddamn it.
Hurry up.
Lay down!
That's right, shoot them!
I give up, Mr. Glenn. Please.
- Shut up, Henri.
- Please, don't hit me. Please.
Clean him up. Take him to the hole.
And call the press.
Dateline, San Francisco.
Alcatraz was the scene last night
Four desperate prisoners
were apprehended...
...on the rocky beach below the prison.
The recently completed
Golden Gate Bridge serves as a backdrop.
So near, yet so far from freedom,
the surviving escapees...
...Henri Young and Rufus McCain,
are escorted back to lockup...
...while their less-fortunate cohorts
are destined for the morgue.
The body of Doc Barker,
son of the infamous Ma Barker...
...lies bullet-riddled,
cooling on a steel gurney...
...attended by a triumphant guard.
The squad of jubilant correctional officers
who foiled the escape...
...congratulate each other
and reluctantly show their battle scars.
supervisor of three penitentiaries...
...Folsom, San Quentin and Alcatraz,
and confidant of J. Edgar Hoover...
...congratulates his troops.
Uphold the honor of Alcatraz.
Humson returns to his duties...
...as the inmates are sent
through metal detectors...
...cells are searched,
...and Alcatraz goes on full alert
to forestall any additional trouble.
As public interest reached a frenzy...
...Warden Humson
...left the island in the bay
for a press conference...
...headed for the San Francisco City Hall...
...which was inundated
with a veritable plethora of reporters...
...from around the globe,
all gathered to hear the official reaction.
introduces Warden John Humson.
Uh, Warden Humson will now make
a brief statement...
...and if you please,
no questions at the end.
Thank you.
I just want to reassure...
...the American people that...
...Alcatraz is an escape-proof prison.
They have nothing to fear.
The inmates, McCain and Young...
...will be brought up on escape charges.
There will be time in solitary confinement.
Uh, privileges will be taken away from them.
And the whole rehabilitation process
will begin.
Definition of rehabilitate:
"To restore to a state of physical,
mental and moral health...
...through treatment and training."
Hello.
Hello, hello, hello.
Eleven times eleven...
...121.
Twelve times twelve...
...144.
Thirteen times thirteen...
...169.
Fourteen...
When Henri Young
began his rehabilitation...
...I was in my first year of law school
at Harvard.
How long?
Alcatraz was opened...
...as a federal penitentiary
in the spring of 1934.
In the era of the gangster,
it was opened more for the publicity value...
...than the incarceration level.
Alcatraz was the most feared prison
in the world...
...and the most expensive.
There were only so many Al Capones
and Machine Gun Kellys...
...so the prison had empty cells.
In order to justify the costs...
...the government took incorrigibles
from other prisons...
...men that had committed smaller,
more petty crimes...
...men like Henri Young.
Hallowing be thy name.
Our Father who art in heaven...
...hallowing be thy name.
Our Father...
Prior to 1938...
...there had been five escape attempts.
