00:03:05 Excuse me.
00:03:17 - Nervous?
00:03:20 - I hate flying.
00:03:25 Maybe you're just excited
00:03:32 - I've got to go to the john again.
00:03:36 - No, I'll catch up to you. Okay?
00:04:45 Passport.
00:05:00 Basket.
00:05:29 Is a frisbee.
00:05:34 You throw it and catch it.
00:05:38 A game...
00:06:31 - Are you okay?
00:06:38 Thank you.
00:06:41 See this?
00:06:45 Overdose.
00:06:48 - There never was anyone like you.
00:06:53 - You never take anything seriously.
00:07:19 - Whas he saying?
00:07:23 They always have everything
00:07:29 - Billy, whas the matter?
00:07:35 - Whas wrong, are you sick?
00:08:10 I'm looking for my passport.
00:08:17 Harry, you'd better
00:09:22 Get down.
00:10:33 - Name?
00:10:36 - William...
00:10:40 Hayes.
00:10:44 - American?
00:10:48 Yes, American. United States.
00:10:52 American.
00:11:08 - Name?
00:11:13 - Name?
00:13:00 Howdy, Billy.
00:13:08 I think these gentlemen
00:13:15 If you'd like
00:13:40 The officer wants to know
00:13:45 No, I'm not afraid.
00:14:02 The officer said
00:14:06 Co-operate,
00:14:20 - Where did you get the hashish?
00:14:25 In the playing shop at the bazaar.
00:14:41 - Would you recognise him again?
00:14:54 You decided to fly at a bad time.
00:14:57 Guerrillas all over the place,
00:15:03 Four planes in four days.
00:15:08 There's been a shit storm
00:15:12 - I didn't have heroin.
00:15:17 It was my first time.
00:15:21 It doesn't matter
00:15:25 Catching you shows the world
00:15:30 - Are you with the Consulate?
00:15:36 - What did you pay this cab driver?
00:15:41 - How much did you figure to make?
00:15:46 - I'm not a pusher. Honest.
00:15:50 - Have you got a family?
00:15:55 - Long Island.
00:16:00 - Girlfriend?
00:16:06 - She didn't know anything about it.
00:16:14 - She used to say I was lucky.
00:20:30 You seem like a nice enough kid.
00:20:33 But you try it,
00:21:07 Mom and Dad, this is the hardest
00:21:14 I hoped to get out of this quickly,
00:21:21 But that just isn't possible now.
00:21:27 What can I say to you?
00:21:32 Will it ease the pain,
00:21:37 Forgive me, please.
00:21:55 Could I have a blanket?
00:21:59 Is cold.
00:22:03 - A blanket!
00:22:09 He'll be here tomorrow, I think.
00:22:51 - Can you speak English?
00:22:56 Blankets, three cells down.
00:24:18 I needed a blanket.
00:24:24 William Hayes.
00:24:42 I needed a blanket, I was cold!
00:26:01 Jesus...
00:26:03 Come on, you must stand.
00:26:08 You'd better walk around,
00:26:12 - You've got to be crazy.
00:26:20 You've been out for days,
00:26:26 - How does it feel?
00:26:30 Gecmis olsun. Is Turkish.
00:26:39 - It looks like a cheap hotel.
00:26:43 I'm Jimmy Booth.
00:26:48 - Just Erich.
00:26:51 Thanks. I'm Billy Hayes...
00:27:34 - Why peacocks?
00:27:38 They scream like mad if they're
00:27:46 - Who are the kids?
00:27:52 Thieves, rapists, murderers...
00:27:56 Don't trust any of them.
00:28:01 He's the squeal around here.
00:28:04 - hash, blankets,
00:28:09 - What are you in for, hash?
00:28:15 - Where?
00:28:18 Thas heavy.
00:28:24 In Turkey, is a fucking accident
00:28:28 - Nobody here is innocent.
00:28:33 Anything is possible in Turkey.
00:28:39 If they make it possession,
00:28:43 If you make bail, you're free.
00:28:49 Sure, keep dreaming.
00:28:55 Is going to be a while
00:28:59 - You broke the law.
00:29:04 The law is never wrong!
00:29:08 The fucking law is.
00:29:19 - People get on his nerves.
00:29:23 Stealing from a mosque.
00:29:27 - What did he steal?
00:29:30 - Thas all?
00:29:34 He was in for a year and a half
00:29:39 - What about you?
00:29:44 - What did they give you?
00:29:49 You've got to get a good lawyer.
00:29:56 He's been in the longest.
00:30:17 Gastro. Stomach medicine.
00:30:23 Is got codeine in it.
00:30:28 Max...
00:30:31 - Lawyers?
00:30:36 There's no straight lawyers
00:30:40 They're all bent.
00:30:44 Bent as hairpins.
00:30:50 They have special classes
00:30:56 If you're suspected of honesty,
00:31:05 I knew a lawyer fellow once.
00:31:10 He got that Frenchman off.
00:31:18 A big smuggler.
00:31:21 200 kilos.
00:31:26 He put enough bread
00:31:30 Vanished.
00:31:34 - His name?
00:31:39 - The lawyer.
00:31:45 Who got the Frenchman off.
00:31:51 Yesil is his name.
00:31:59 I don't know anything else
00:32:03 Yesil.
00:32:09 The best thing to do
00:32:14 - Yeah, but how?
00:32:18 Whas that?
00:32:24 Is not a train.
00:32:38 It doesn't stop around here.
00:33:28 Dad, I'm sorry.
00:33:31 Forget it.
00:33:35 I'll punch you in the nose later.
00:33:42 This is a suit I brought for you.
00:33:47 Smarten you up a little.
00:33:54 - Are you all right?
00:33:58 How's Mom?
00:34:02 Well, she's bad.
00:34:06 She couldn't make the trip.
00:34:14 Susan told us
00:34:18 She's saving to come back here...
00:34:21 Don't let her come.
00:34:27 They're the same. You know.
00:34:30 We told the neighbours
00:34:36 This is Stanley Daniels.
00:34:42 Billy, we're going to do everything
00:34:50 Thas Necdit Yesil,
00:34:58 I know exactly what you feel,
00:35:02 We'll get the right court
00:35:06 I'll arrange everything, just right.
00:35:11 I understand that if you get bail,
00:35:18 Thas what we're shooting for.
00:35:24 Right now, relations with the Turks
00:35:30 - Our best bet is right here.
00:35:36 Money doesn't matter, Billy.
00:35:46 - Where did you get that limp?
00:35:53 - Where are you staying?
00:35:58 - How do you like Istanbul?
00:36:04 The food is lousy. The crap
00:36:09 I had to run to the toilet.
00:36:15 I'll eat at the Hilton every night.
00:36:29 Billy...
00:36:33 - Why did you do it?
00:36:40 I know you kids smoke that stuff
00:36:44 - but taking it across the border,
00:36:49 I know.
00:36:51 Dad... get me out of here.
00:36:57 I promise you. Just sit tight.
00:37:02 Let me work with Mr. Daniels
00:37:07 We'll get you out, okay?
00:37:11 Hey, Billy... Okay?
00:37:18 Okay.
00:39:01 - What did that prosecutor say?
00:39:05 We made our case. You spoke well.
00:39:30 Mr. Hayes, the judge is coming back.
00:40:16 - Four years, two months.
00:40:20 We'll appeal.
00:40:22 Ill be reduced for good behaviour.
00:40:29 The prosecutor wanted
00:40:34 To be honest, Mr. Hayes,
00:40:50 With good time,
00:40:56 And then there's the appeal.
00:40:59 Daniels and Yesil
00:41:08 We're trying to get you transferred.
00:41:12 Daniels thinks there might be
00:41:22 All right, Billy...
00:41:26 I know it sounds tough,
00:41:31 I promise you.
00:41:37 They could play with your sentence.
00:41:42 All right, now...
00:41:48 I'm putting $500 in the bank.
00:41:55 There's food here,
00:42:00 - books, cigarettes, soap,
00:42:13 I've sold insurance for 30 years.
00:42:16 Now I've got to see my own son...
00:42:20 Jesus!
00:42:28 If I could be where you are...
00:42:38 I love you, Dad.
00:43:12 You take good care of my boy,
00:44:49 Dear Susan,
00:44:55 You can drift in here
00:45:00 You can fade so far out, you
00:45:06 I find loneliness is a physical pain
00:45:46 To the Turks
00:45:49 It means "like this, like that."
00:45:55 All foreigners are "ayip."
00:46:00 So is homosexuality, but they
00:46:05 There are about 1,000 things
00:46:10 You can stab or shoot somebody
00:46:16 Stabbing somebody in the ass
00:46:24 I know it must sound crazy to you,
00:46:36 One day,
00:46:39 So they picked out
00:48:14 Then there's Rifki. The more
00:48:19 $10 for this shit? You pig.
00:48:23 There are no pigs in Turkey.
00:48:27 - This shit is shit.
00:48:33 - You big shit.
00:48:57 You asshole.
00:49:04 What is it with you?
00:49:12 You don't fuck with me,
00:49:16 You fuck with me all the time.
00:49:20 - You rip us off on the hash.
00:49:27 We have to live like brothers.
00:49:32 For all the money you've got,
00:49:36 - You are American, you don't know.
00:49:42 Dog eat dog.
00:49:44 You fuck other man before he
00:49:57 Come on down.
00:50:06 Egbert...
00:52:43 William!
00:52:46 Are you all right?
00:52:50 The new American Ambassador
00:52:55 He says there is progress.
00:53:01 But there is another route...
00:53:06 ...that is quite possible.
00:53:09 For a proper amount of money,
00:53:13 - to convince the ten officials
00:53:18 - before the High Court in Ankara
00:53:23 And you could be in Greece by
00:53:34 But I have to act before the
00:53:43 And for that
00:54:02 Whas that?
00:54:11 The blueprints to the prison, man.
00:54:16 There was this German architect
00:54:23 He let me copy them.
00:54:26 Is too bad
00:54:31 There are two ways out of here.
00:54:34 One is over the roof,
00:54:39 The other way, I'll need your help,
00:54:48 A tunnel?
00:54:51 - Are you serious?
00:54:57 Thas where you're wrong.
00:55:02 There's a basement
00:55:06 Beneath that are the catacombs the
00:55:13 We're sitting
00:55:19 The kraut says that there's
00:55:25 They're like dumbwaiters,
00:55:29 One of them
00:55:34 If we get in there,
00:55:37 With three of us working,
00:55:42 I swear I heard a couple of dead
00:55:47 - You stop shitting me, man. Okay?
00:55:54 We knock three times and
00:55:59 I'm getting this together and
00:56:05 You understand me?
00:56:15 - We go through the wall.
00:56:21 Go through the wall.
00:56:45 There's no reinforced steel
00:56:51 Is real soft
00:56:57 You can almost push it over.
00:57:00 All we have to do...
00:57:04 We only have to use your screwdriver
00:57:09 We pull out three stones
00:57:22 Squeeze through,
00:57:27 - Is a two-night operation.
00:57:32 What do you want, a door?
00:57:35 There's miles of them down there.
00:57:39 - You must be fucking crazy.
00:57:44 You won't find any catacombs,
00:57:51 Billy... the tunnel or the roof?
00:57:58 Forget the wall.
00:58:01 - The roof is guarded.
00:58:07 If we get caught,
00:58:12 I'll be back up to
00:58:18 Fuck it, then.
00:58:23 I'll do this thing on my own.
00:58:45 No! I can't take it!
00:59:29 Dear Susan,
00:59:33 He got a severe hernia
00:59:37 He's been in the sanatorium
00:59:40 In comparison,
00:59:45 But 2 1/2 years have gone by.
00:59:49 The Turks
01:00:03 - Why do you keep your hair short?
01:01:02 Prison, monastery, cloister, cave.
01:01:31 Prison...
01:03:33 - Okay.
01:03:39 - Another way what?
01:03:44 When I was in the sanatorium,
01:03:50 - I could have got out of there.
01:03:54 As soon as I could walk,
01:04:00 - Lucky you.
01:04:04 Another ward in the sanatorium
01:04:10 - Who was in it?
01:04:13 - What was wrong with them?
01:04:19 - I think they were dead.
01:04:31 I've got to go. Is Daniels!
01:04:36 They're going to let me off.
01:04:43 God! "I've got to go."
01:05:05 Whas wrong?
01:05:08 Sit down, Billy.
01:05:11 I'm afraid
01:05:18 - Is it Dad? Mom?
01:05:22 - You're going to have a new court.
01:05:29 The prosecutor objected
01:05:34 He wanted a smuggling conviction.
01:05:38 It seems everyone wanted
01:05:48 We've been notified
01:05:55 There were 35 judges in the court.
01:05:58 28 voted for... a life sentence.
01:06:05 The lower court in Istanbul
01:06:10 The judge likes you.
01:06:15 What do you mean, life?
01:06:18 - Life for what?
01:06:23 I have 53 days left!
01:06:46 So now is time for me to speak.
01:06:50 What is there for me to say?
01:06:54 When I finish,
01:07:00 So let me ask you now:
01:07:03 What is a crime?
01:07:06 What is a punishment?
01:07:09 It seems to vary from time to time
01:07:15 Whas legal today
01:07:22 Whas illegal is suddenly legal
01:07:28 You can't put everybody in jail.
01:07:33 I'm not saying
01:07:37 I'm just saying
01:07:43 I've spent 3 1/2 years of my life
01:07:50 I think I've paid for my error.
01:07:57 If is your decision today
01:08:18 My lawyer... thas a good one.
01:08:23 "Be good. I'll get you a pardon,
01:08:30 This has been going on now
01:08:36 I've been playing it cool.
01:08:43 Now I'm damn tired of being good.
01:08:51 You hung 53 days in my face,
01:08:58 And you!
01:09:01 I wish you could be standing
01:09:06 Then you would know something
01:09:10 Mercy!
01:09:13 You would know that a just society
01:09:21 Its sense of fair play and justice.
01:09:26 But I guess thas like asking
01:09:42 For a nation of pigs,
01:09:56 Jesus Christ forgave the bastards,
01:10:04 I hate.
01:10:09 I hate you.
01:10:12 I hate your nation
01:10:17 I fuck your sons and daughters
01:10:23 You're a pig.
01:10:31 You're all pigs.
01:10:57 My hands are tied by Ankara.
01:11:08 I must sentence you, William Hayes,
01:11:13 - for a term no less than 30 years.
01:11:19 May it pass quickly.
01:11:46 Got the old Istanbul blues
01:11:51 Istanbul blues
01:11:55 they give me 30 years
01:12:00 ain't got nothing left to lose...
01:12:05 We are going to get you out.
01:12:10 Don't do anything stupid.
01:12:21 I was busted at the border...
01:12:25 The best thing to do
01:12:31 The best way you can.
01:13:13 Hey, I think I found it.
01:13:18 Listen to that.
01:13:26 I told you, you suckers.
01:13:30 Keep it down.
01:13:36 Look how soft this is.
01:13:40 Go and get Rifki's poker,
01:14:06 Is really soft. Is coming.
01:14:15 - Jimmy, is coming.
01:14:22 Is coming real easy.
01:14:27 Is easier than I thought.
01:14:43 Is coming.
01:14:46 Like butter.
01:14:50 Hey, Max. Rifki.
01:15:11 - Keep checking for Rifki.
01:15:30 - Watch it.
01:15:38 - They're loose.
01:15:43 - Watch your hernia.
01:15:53 - Okay? You got it?
01:16:03 Thas it. Is the shaft.
01:16:16 Is coming.
01:16:25 Is okay.
01:16:36 - Les go, Billy.

01:19:21 Terrific.
01:19:28 - All right, is a tunnel.

01:20:46 - What the fuck are we going to do?
01:20:51 4:30.
01:20:57 - Go back.
01:21:03 We go back, seal it up,
01:21:09 Every night, until we get out.
01:21:13 There's got to be a way out.
01:21:32 Billy, they found it. Rifki.
01:22:16 No do, no do.
01:22:41 I'm going to kick your brains
01:22:47 Fine! Good. Man to man.

01:23:12 - I know what I'm going to do.

01:23:21 Rifki.
01:23:27 What have I got to lose?
01:23:37 Why don't you sit down?
01:23:43 - I want to cut his fucking throat.
01:23:55 Then I'll cut his balls off.
01:24:03 You know, if you really

01:24:34 Them that hides can find, says I.
01:24:44 I've seen him, the big tit.
01:24:50 He looks at it, late at night.
01:24:59 Talking to it.
01:25:04 Where?
01:25:10 Max, where?
01:25:15 The money, where?
01:25:21 In his radio.
01:25:31 Thas why he never plays it.
01:27:33 - He never had one.
01:27:37 No friends, no money,
01:27:44 - I'll drink to that.
01:27:50 - I've just got some news on Jimmy.
