The Last Castle
[Man] Take a look
at a castle, any castle.
Now break down the key elements
that make it a castle.
They haven't changed
in a thousand years.
One, location. A site on high ground
that commands the territory...
as far as the eye can see.
Two, protection:
big walls.Walls strong enough
to with stand a frontal attack.
Three, a garrison.
Men who are trained and willing to kill.
Four, a flag.
You tell your men,
"You're soldiers
and that's our flag."
You tell them nobody
takes our flag.
[Man]
One step forward. Forward!
And you raise that flag so it flies high
where everyone can see it.
Now you've got yourself
a castle.
The only difference between
this castle and all the rest,
is that they were built
to keep people out.
This castle is built
to keep people in.

- [Man On P.A., Indistinct]
[Rapping, Indistinct]
Ohh!
Come on. Give me the ball.
Give me the ball, man.
- Come on. Give me the fucking ball.
- F*ck you!
- [Knock On Door]
- [Softly] Sir?
[Louder]
Sir? A movement order just came in.
Give it to Captain Peretz.
- I'll take that, Sheila.
- It's a Category A transfer.
- Let me see it.
- [Arguing]
- [Man] Fallout! Fallout! Fallout!
- Play ball, man. Come on.
- [Classical]
- [Peretz] 1700 hours?
N-No, no, we're prepared.
Well, it's just
really fast. Okay.
Mm-hmm.
All right. You're sure
Okay. Thank you.
Sir?
Sir?
[Exhales]
It's the real deal.
He is coming in
at 1700 hours.
Seventeen hundred hours today?
That's what they said, sir.
I don't understand.
Apparently, he pled guilty
and got ten years.
They're expediting
his transfer as a courtesy.
Oh, as a courtesy?
after the man. Not sending him here.
My God, Eugene Irwin.
Well, we have verdict.
We have a sentence.
We have a prisoner.
We do our job...
whether we like it or not.
Puts us on our toes,
though, doesn't it?
[Man On P.A.] Escort detail
report to Gate 18 prisoner.
Escort detail meet
the prisoner on Gate A.
[Gate Buzzes]
[Inmate]
I give him a week.
- 'Til what?
- 'Til he "scrags" himself.
The court-martial didn't
put him over the edge,
- I guarantee you the shithouse will.
- A week?
- Six bundles.
- Six? Let's make it ten.
- All right. Make it ten then.
- [Man] Ah, there we go.
Ten bundles, Mr. Dellwo.
Very specific man.
- Anybody else?
- You have absolutely no idea
what you're talking about.
Come on.
We'll make it like the final four.
Ten bundles a square. Who's in?
I'm not going to bet on whether or not
a man's going to kill himself.
That's some creepy shit, pilot.
Besides, look at him. One week?
He's tougher than that.
[Inmate] How much tougher,
eight, ten, what?
- [Inmate] Eight.
- [Inmate #2] Anyone else?
- You're an ice-cold motherfucker, Yates.
- Hey, I'm not betting...
he's going to off himself,
I'm just playing the books.
- What about you, Cutbush?
I know you're in.
- Put me in for a week and a half.
- A week and a half?.
- Wallace?
- Go ahead.
- I have the transfer A
to the P.R.U. now.
- Copy that. P.R.U.
- [Woman] One wallet. Leather.
- Family photos?
- [Irwin] My daughter.
- Grandson.
- Would you like to keep these?
Um, that's an authorized item.
I'd appreciate that.
One set of keys. Glasses.
I'm going to need your ring.
Thank you.
Oh. Actually, you can keep that.
Academy rings are authorized.
Three stars, two sets.
Looks like that's everything.
- So, uh--
- [Knocking On Door]
- Sir? Prisoner Irwin is outside.
- Five minutes.
