04x04 - Prisoner

Post by bunniefuu »

The balloon's high enough.

He's going to be hit off now.

Keep it rolling.

Colt, that was beautiful.

Are you all right?

Just a slight nosebleed.

From the punch?

No, from the altitude.

A couple more hours and we're out of here.

Two days, with nothing to do but sit on
the beach and watch the waves roll in.

Yeah, well, you may be watching the waves,
but I prefer a different kind of scenery.

Yeah.

Oh, look at the kids.

Hi.

How do you like my new wheels?

Is that yours?

Almost.

Lindsley, the new assistant director,
he's going to sell it to me for a song.

I'm only five thousand dollars short.

How much is the car?

Five thousand dollars.

A song?

I could loan you five thousand.

I can't.

Yeah.

Hello?

Hi, Jody.

Is Colt there?

It's important.

Colt, it's Terry calling from L.A.

Tell her I'm in the hospital with a broken
leg.

She says it's important.

Make it two broken legs.

No soap.

Jody, tell him there's
an important detour I

want him to make before
he comes home, all right?

Forget it, Terry.

Look, he's only got one
more stunt and then the

next thing he's going to
be working on is his tan.

That'll take him less than a day.

There's a young lady named Chris Randolph.

She's jumped bail on a drug
smuggling charge, but I just

found out she's checked into
the Greenbrier Motel on 66.

That's ten miles from where you are.

Tell him there's twenty-five hundred in it
for him.

All he's got to do is pick up a pretty
girl that's right down his alley.

I'll ask him, but you know what he's going
to say?

No.

He says no.

Tell him I'll double the money.

And I don't care if she doubles the money.

He won't budge.

Talk him into it for me, will you,
Jody?

Five grand's a lot of money.

Have you seen Jody?

No, but I noticed her stuff's out of her
trailer and her white trans am's gone.

What's that?

A protein drink.

You want some?

Yeah.

Fold.

Fold.

It makes you big and strong.

Colt Seavers.

Hi, Colt.

It's Terry.

Jody, talk me into going after that skip
for me?

Hi,

I've been looking all over for you.

Do I know you?

Well, sorry, but you skipped bail and I'm
taking you back to L.A.

I didn't do anything!

Oh!

Where?

I'm innocent!

That's what Charles is for.

Come back with me and prove it.

Okay?

Okay, let's go.

The judge in this town has this thing
about disturbing the peace.

Not to mention the destruction of public
property.

Looks like I'm going to have to block you
both up for a while.

How long's a while?

Somebody comes and spills you out.

But nobody knows we're even here.

Matter of fact.

What

kind of place is this?

It's Healy County Women's Correctional
Attics.

For the incorrigibly unlucky.

Effectually known as Cell Block 6.

Ladies, you just walked through hell's
back door.

I don't believe this.

Get off.

That's mine, too.

There's a lot of room when you sit down.

You're asking for it.

Get your hands off me!

There's the Green Dryer Motel.

Yeah, and there's Jody's car.

Hey.

Where are you taking that car?

Forward to County.

County Impound.

Where's the driver?

Well, from what I was told, she and this
other gal got into a.

They're up at the woman's facility.

What?

Getting treated?

Getting arrested.

This place.

This woman's facility.

Where is it?

It's Black Creek Road.

It's up there about a mile.

Let's go.

Here to see Jody Banks.

I understand she was arrested.

Sorry.

You'll have to see the sheriff in town.

We just want to see if she's all right.

Ow!

Watch it!

Jody.

It's electrified.

I've got to get in there.

Let go!

Yeah, so I can assure them that Miss Banks
is all right.

Well, good.

And, uh, Simon, I don't want anything like
that happening again.

Is that clear?

All right.

Bye.

Bye.

Hi.

Friend's fine.

Apparently, she got into a fight with one
of the other inmates...

and guards were a little slow in stopping
her.

Can we see her?

Thursday is visiting day.

Thursday?

Look, Sheriff, whatever Jody did,
she did serving as an officer of the court.

Why don't you just let her go and call it
even?

Well, I'm afraid we can't do that.

But, uh, she'll get her day in court.

If there's nothing we can do, she sees the
judge on Monday.

Monday.

But in the meantime, I'll personally
guarantee your safety.

Monday, huh?

Her case will be heard the first thing.

We'll be back.

Okay.

Varney?

That has got to be the bonehead play of
the year.

You know that blonde you arrested?

You know who she turned out to be?

Somebody's relative.

No, Varney.

She works for that bounty hunter that was
just in here.

Before you found out who she was,
you put her in cell block six.

Now, what the hell's the matter with you?

She was still groggy from the fight.

I didn't know.

Yeah, and that's the kind of stupidity
that could ruin me.

Varney, if I don't get
the money those women

bring in here, I go
back to a sheriff's salary.

Now, that can make me kind of dangerous to
be around.

You want me to get her out of there?

No, I don't want you to get her out of
there.

You let someone like
that out, and she'll blow

the whistle so hard
that we'll all be deaf.

Now, she's dead.

She's in there.

She's got to stay in there.

Let me out of here!

How

about you, Colbert?

I'm starving.

Yeah, me too.

What's your specialty?

Canned soup, just like Mommy used to open.

How about the roast beef?

Make a good wallet.

The boys must be new around here if you
don't know nothing about the food.

You just passing through?

Yeah, we were.

A friend of ours got detained by the local
authorities.

Oh, we said Healy
County should have a skull

and crossbones instead
of a dot on the map.

Sheriff's got a real speed trap that's a
k*ller.

How fast was he going?

Her friend's a she.

Your friend's not staying at the
correctional facility, is she?

Well, yeah.

As a matter of fact, she is.

She's stuck there for the weekend.

The rest of the weekend?

For the rest of her life, most likely.

Joke, right?

Does this look like a joke?

A little souvenir that I picked up from my
stay in cell block six.

Oh, uh, what's cell block six?

That's what they call the hellhole your
friend is staying in.

If it's so bad, how did you get out?

One of the guards took a liking to me.

Let's just say it had nothing to do with
Sunday school.

Look, the only reason why that place
exists is for the sheriff to make money.

He uses cell block six to break their
will.

After he gets through with them, they would
do anything to get out of those cells.

They become prostit*tes, and he becomes
rich.

Cole, we got to do something.

There's got to be a way we can get to the
judge before Monday.

Who do you think convicts all
those women on trumped-up

charges and then signs papers
saying that they're released?

He's getting rich, too.

Well, then we'll go to the state attorney
general.

By the time you get some action,
they've got to all be gone.

G-gone?

What do you mean, gone?

Cole, every so often, he cleans house.

He sends them out of the country,
and nobody ever hears from them again.

Well, we got to get Jody out of there.

Uh-oh, speaking of the devil.

Matrons from cell block six.

Devil's okay?

You know, kid, I think I just thought of a
way to get into that prison.

Yeah?

All we got to do is get out of there.

And get a little romantic with those two
guards over there.

Cole, there's got to be a better way.

Maybe we could tunnel under the fence.

That's practically solid rock.

Maybe we could snip our way through the
front gate.

That's electrified.

How about if we just blast our way in?

Kid, you always wanted to be an actor.

This could be the performance of your
life.

Look, all you have to do is...

fall in love.

That's done.

You're lucky they let you out of the hole.

T.K.

For you.

Thanks.

Where is she going?

That's what you call getting time off of
bad behavior.

T.K.'s going on a date.

Pretty lady like you shouldn't have to
work so hard.

You play along with me, and I'll make sure
you're taken care of.

Get lost.

Maybe you should think a little harder
about it.

What about you, Blondie?

Thanks to you, I'm in hot water with the
sheriff.

And I'd say the least you owe me was a
little friendlier attitude.

Creep.

All right, play it your way.

I want three more pits, Doug.

Three more!

Move it!

Where's those doubles, Howard?

You know, I just love a woman in a
uniform.

Me, too.

Yeah?

Yeah.

We're into authority figures.

Oh, I read about guys like you.

Me, too.

I always wanted to meet one.

To each his own.

Why don't you start another round?

I guess there's no accounting for taste,
is there?

Did anybody ever
tell you... Yes?

Did anybody ever tell
you your eyes are like

twin sapphires piercing
the jungle night?

I... I don't think so.

Would you excuse me?

Oh, of course.

I can't believe it.

They're still on their feet.

You gotta help me.

Why?

You two seem to be doing just fine.

I'm trying to get Roz out of her clothes.

So what's to understand?

No, no, that's not what I mean.

See, Howie's gonna put on her clothes.

Oh, you boys are even kickier than I
thought.

Do you always lead?

I thought you liked women with authority.

I do.

I do.

Lead on.

I just don't understand.

We're trying to sneak in cell block six.

Why didn't you say so in the first place?

I mean, I will fix you up with one of my
special wall bangers.

One megaton.

Tell me again how my lips are like white
smoke and it's just...

quivering with the fire.

Nice work, Jody.

Now you can fill it all in and start over.

You know, if it gets too hot for you,
you can always take off your dress.

Hey, girl.

Drink up.

It's a good one here.

I'm sorry.

When are they gonna start to feel it?

I don't know how much more I can take.

Well, you got the best.

Let me get rid of some of these glasses
for you.

You're real helpful.

One more drink and she might start to
feel, Timmy.

You mean you've been drinking all this
time?

What was I supposed to do?

Hey, two more.

Coming right up.

Tell me again how I'm a perfumed breeze...

wafting through the tulips of your mind.

Are you really a stuntman?

Oh, so's Howie.

I recognize you.

You were that pull-down that Gusto Gao did
about all the stuntmen.

I think you've got me mixed up with
somebody else.

I almost didn't recognize you without the
staple.

You are some guy.

Oh?

Kiss me, you devil.

Cold, I think I need a tetanus shot.

Poor Hilda.

What a party pooper.

Me, on the other hand...

We are going to
dance... all night.

Maybe we ought to wait till you sober up.

Not that.

No shoes or two, Dave.

Are you sure you can drive?

Absolutely.

Hmm?

Mm-hmm.

You make a truly unattractive woman.

Never should have let you see me without
my makeup.

Item three.

Effective immediately, inmates will no
longer be permitted to trade work details.

Work assigned to an
inmate must be... by that...

Glad you sobered up, kid.

Thank you very much.

...strictly enforced.

Any inmate who is caught exceeding her
quota will be put in the hole for 72 hours.

Item five.

It has come to our attention
that someone has been

running an ill*gal crap
game in the cell block.

I want the name of the
prisoner responsible written

on a piece of paper and
on my desk within the hour.

If no name is found...

If no name is turned in, then you're all
going to wind up taking turns in the hole.

Item six.

Ink tattooing or any other
form of self -mutilation

is against regulations and
will be dealt with harshly.

Psh!

Item seven.

Your EBTV hour ends here.

Why don't we swing around?

Jump in the back?

You too.

Every job that's given to
you in the field, as well as

the daily husbandry chores,
will be completed as assigned.

Item eight.

You're not fooling anybody, ladies,
including you, Smith.

Complaints about the flu, cold, headaches,
that's all minor stuff around here.

You will be expected to do your daily work
assignments and know...

Hey, I want you to contact whatever state
corrections official's in charge and tell

him to haul this caboose down here right
away.

Yeah, you bet I will.

I just hope they can get there in time.

You're not the only one.

Well, we got one thing going for us.

What's that?

The element of surprise.

They think we're dead.

Yeah, what we don't have is a lot of time.

Especially since Jody will probably take
the heat for that escape attempt.

Exactly.

So what are we going to do?

Contact Chuck Reed.

The aviation guy?

Yeah, see if that helicopter we used on
the film is still around.

If it is, tell him we want to borrow it a
couple hours in the morning.

What if he says no?

I want to see you and
that chopper at the State

Park north of here at 10
o'clock tomorrow, right?

All right.

I'll ask him to see if
the guy who rigged

the expl*sives on
the field is still around.

He could round me up a dozen canisters of
smoke bombs, huh?

Okay.

Good.

T.K., you don't have to eat this slop.

Not a cold swine.

Why don't you come in our dining room?

You can be my special guest.

Well, thank you, Ralph.

Can't say much for your taste in friends.

Who dropped this plate?

T.K.

Pick it up.

Pick it up!

Put

her in the hole again.

When is he going to come back and get me?

I don't think that's going to be the case.

I'm sorry to have to be the
one to bring this message

to you, but your friends
had an unfortunate accident.

That car they were in went over the cliff
and exploded.

You're lying.

No, I'm afraid there's nothing left but
ashes.

And no one knows you're here.

No!

No!

You thought your boyfriends were going to
make fools of us, right?

Well, we'll see who's going to have the
last laugh.

When did all this happen?

Hilliard over at the state corrections
call this morning.

Allegations of wrongdoing.

He won't say where it came from.

He's going to be here in less than 48
hours.

What are you going to do?

Well, we have to make sure that the
inspector gets here after the prison break.

Gilberto flies them down to South America.

We make it look like they made good on
that escape.

I'll be right back.

What are we going to do for a break?

All right, you've got five minutes.

You're all hot.

If you're looking for Jody, she's down
there.

Jody, are you there?

I'm not, I'm not.

Oh, thank God.

They told me you and Howie were dead.

We're the ones who started the rumor.

Are you all right?

I can't say much for the accommodations.

I'm okay.

Listen, I got a plan.

You got to be in the yard tomorrow morning
at 11 o'clock.

How am I going to do that?

Somebody told me that the prisoners fight
for the entertainment of the guards.

True.

All right, then pick a fight with
somebody.

Just be in the yard, 11 o'clock sharp.

Well, how will I know when you're there?

I'll be the one in the chopper.

You better get going, Colt.

All right, now listen, remember.

Like I tell you before a stunt,
think positive.

This

girl's not waiting.

I heard the whole thing.

Either we both go...

or nobody goes.

Okay.

But you got to help me.

Come on, come on, come on.

You know, you're...

You know your pal, Chris, he says she's
ready to fight it out with you.

You know how anxious we are for you girls
to work out your aggression.

Take it easy.

I may not make it to 11.

You can't be serious.

I am.

Oh, a few days.

We don't have a few days.

We got to go now.

Chuck got anything else that'll fly?

No.

Well, not unless you
want to count the hot

air balloon that we
used for the movie stunt.

Well, if that's all he's got, we'll use
it.

You'll have to fly it as a diversion.

Come on, we got to move fast.

To sunny South America.

I don't think he's kidding.

Where's Howie's diversion?

He shouldn't be here by now.

He must be fighting the wind.

We got to go in anyway.

Good morning, ladies.

On behalf of General Enriquez,
I bid you well.

Who is this General?

What's his name?

He is the man that owns you.

We're going to be great friends,
you and I.

I can just feel it.

I'm not going, am I, Ross?

You can't be sending me away.

Sorry, babe.

End of the line.

Why, you two-faced... Hey!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

What shall we do?

We right it!

You're mistaken!

We'll do this.

If Getter cuisine is going to gain a
glimmer of hope, you've got to sadness my

outfit, But you're afraid of getting lost
again.

That's the way to think of life.

The pilot's out of commission.

Yeah, I guess I'll have to take the
chopper.

You can't.

The oil line's been shot out.

We gotta get out of the state,
boss.

All right, get in the car.

I've already called the governor.

There's an all points out on you already.

You won't get ten miles.

All right, let's take the balloon.

Come on, get in.

All right, come on, take this thing up.

We're getting out of the state.

We'll have to take the chopper.

Thanks

for saving me, Colt.

I had to.

You're the only one that could land this
stupid thing.

Come on, let's see if you can beat Jody
down.

Oh, by the way, Jody.

There won't be enough left of the $5,000
that Terry paid us to buy that T-Bird.

I'm sorry to say.

Well, how much is left?

Maybe I can get him to take us.

Well, after deducting the
damage to the helicopter and

that fancy spread the kids
laid on us, exactly $104.18.

Oh, I don't think I'll get him to come
down that far.

Well, it went for a good cause.

A leader called and said
Bates and his men are being

raked over the coals
by the state prison board.

Good.

What about the other women in that awful
place?

Oh, who do you think is testifying against
Bates and his people?

Once it comes to trial?

Talk about sweet revenge.

Oh, by the way, Lita gave me a message to
you, Allie.

To me?

Yeah, it was from the matron.

Let me see if I can remember.

At first it was, she forgives you
completely.

And second was, she loves you more than
anything in the world.

You gotta be kidding.

She also mentioned that your lips were
like bright papayas in a cosmic luau.

She also said she'll be here in L.A.

a week from Tuesday.

Come on, Allie.
