" the name's Brogan, lieutenant Brogan." "For 20 years, I was with the nypd." "Now..." "Well, let's just say, I've transferred to another precinct." "[alarm sounding]" " I don't like you, volker." "In fact, I've never liked you." " Oh." " and I'm not going to recommend you to the parole board." "If you ever wanna get off this rock, you better consider a serious attitude adjustment." " Now why would I wanna do that." "I love this rock." "It's my home." " You know what, volker?" "I'm havin' a bad day." "You know why, volker?" "'cause you're givin' me a headache!" " That's the general idea." " Wayla, can you ask Dr. Elliss to come up here when we're through?" " Yes, sir." " What's the matter, bronkov?" "You like you could use a vacation." " Get this wise guy outta here." "This interview is over." " Thanks." "Sit down, Warden-- Relax." "Take it easy-- Take it easy." "I'm in control now." " Prisoner number 1-9-7, wyndam derrit, aka houdini, for transfer to asteroid a-five." " Wait a minute-- This ain't houdini." " What do you mean?" " Yes, Officer, what do you mean?" " Shut up!" "No way is this little guy the most notorious escape artist on altor." " Maybe I'm not houdini." "Hey, maybe the real houdini's escaped." " Shut up-- Just sign the form." "And Hey, good luck." " Thanks." "The more I've been thinking about this," "I'm sure I'm not houdini." " Yeah, well, you can deal with your little identity crisis when you get to the rock." " Hold on a second, orin." "All right, houdini, give it back." " What?" " What you got in your hand, give it back!" "Hair restorer!" " Hey-- Give me that!" " Hey, Officer." "That hair restorer never works anyway." " Shut up, romek." " All righty." "Kitna looks in for the sign, shakes off the first one." "Now he's set." "There's the delivery!" "Oh, my, Sawyer sends a deep shot to left." "It's goin'-- it's gone!" "Touch 'em all, baby!" "The yankees take the series!" " Dream on, man." "If the yankees take the series, it'll be because of the pitching, not the hitting." " Whoa-Whoa-- "if the yankees win"?" " Okay, okay, when, when." " Now you're talkin'." " Yeah, but what are you talking about?" " Baseball, man." " Oh, yeah." "That's that stupid earth game where they stand around doing nothing for three hours?" " Fredo, we are talking about the seventh game of the world series here." " and we are gonna be watchin' it." " Yes!" " Yes!" " Weird." " a month long trial at demeter's high court ended today with a conviction of one of the city's most notorious crime bosses." "Ariset Gagnon, guilty of extortion, blackmail, and criminal conspiracy." "Due to his advanced age and deteriorating health, the court has ordered that Gagnon undergo a complete physical check up before being transferred to asteroid a-five, a maximum security penitentiary known as "the rock."" " Captain?" " How's it goin' there, took?" " Well, it looks like we're gonna run a little late, sir." "This medical thing came out of nowhere." " All right." "I'll reschedule the transfer at this end." "You stay with Gagnon." " Yes, sir." " Stop, castle." "Why don't you come watch the world series with us?" "That's right-- I forgot." "You have to work, huh?" "Oh, come on, where's your sense of humor, huh?" "That altorian flu thing's still got ya, huh?" "Tell ya what, just take the day off." " don't patronize me, Jack-- I can look after myself." " Haldane, the captain wants to see us in his office." " I got a bad feeling about this." "Oh, come on, captain-- you can't be serious!" "Not today!" " Captain, if we take houdini to the rock, we're gonna be missin' the baseball game." " Baseball?" " Yeah." " Oh, yeah." "Stupid earth game where you stand around doing nothin' for three hours." " Captain, this is important." " and so is the reputation of this precinct, I hope!" "I want houdini out of here before he even thinks of escaping!" " Weren't took and castle supposed to be taking him with Gagnon?" " Gagnon's tied up in a medical." "Took's still with him." "I don't want to wait any longer." "I've made up my mind!" "Thanks, fellas!" " You're welcome." " whatever it is, I didn't do it." " No, that's where you're wrong." "I'm missing the biggest baseball game of the year 'cause of you." " Baseball." "Oh, yeah, I've heard of that." "Isn't that the stupid earth game" " Shut up!" " What happened, haldane?" "Did podly spoil your fun?" " I don't wanna talk about it." " Aw, come on, why don't you just take the day off?" " Why don't you talk to Brogan about that?" "He and Matt have been plannin' this for weeks." " Uh, no, Matt, the signal won't be a problem, but" " But ion storms always mess up reception." " Uh-Uh, not super light transmissions, only radio waves." "Look, Matt" " How do you know that?" " It said so in the forecast." " All right, we're gonna see the yankees kick some serious giants Butt." " Matt" " Uh, Matt, I-I got a little complication here." "Hold on a second." " Listen, Brogan, this was supposed to be my assignment." "You go home-- I'll do the run with haldane." " Uh, what about took?" " She'll find someone else to do the Gagnon run." " You're not too sick?" " Say "Hi" to Matt." " Matt?" " Yeah?" " Break out the cracker Jacks." " Broke out of prior too, huh?" " Mmm-Hmm." "Took me ten hours to get out of that joint, but then I'm not a strong swimmer." " Yeah, well, it's not gonna be that easy gettin' out of the rock." "I'm tellin' ya, this place Makes alcatraz look like fabulous cave mountains." " So I've heard." "I like a challenge." " Speaking of challenges, Jack," "I bet you can't keep quiet for the next two hours." " Where's Brogan?" " I win." "Make yourselves at home, boys." "This is gonna be a long and Boring ride." " that's the lot." "When volker let's us out, I say we split this rock." "Forget the boss." " Shut up!" "Look, the first vehicle we can use is the one the boss'll be on." "You mess with the plan, he'll kill you." "And if he doesn't, I will!" " And if cranston doesn't, I will." "Any other bright ideas, smike?" "How you feelin'?" " Good." "The, uh, antidote works like a charm." "How's the Warden?" " Bronkov?" "You won't be seein' him no more." "Come on, let's go-- We got company." " I'm tellin' ya, castle, if this is your idea of a long, Boring ride," "I can't wait to see what you call exciting." " You couldn't begin to handle it." " if I didn't know better, I'd swear you two were married." "Oh, come on, more trivia." "Your turn, Officer haldane." " Okay." "All right, all right, all right." "Let's see." "Um... most home runs in a season." "[indistinct]" " Yeah." " You've gotta be kidding me." "Sixty-One, of course, Roger Maris, New York yankees." " All right-- Okay, smart guy." "That was easy." "Let's try most Homers national league." " Fifty-Six, Hack Wilson, chicago cubs." " "baseball, I've heard of that."" "Once a conman, always a conman." " don't worry." "We'll settle our bet when I get outta jail." " Hey, I'm sorry to spoil your fun, chaps, but I think we better contact the rock." "They're inclined to blow unannounced visitors out of the sky." " Yeah-- I'm on it." "This isn't gonna be easy." "We got major ion interference." " Well, try another frequency... and hurry up." "This is too risky-- I'm turning back." " Good idea." " No, no." "Hold on-- hold on." "Just stay calm." "I got everything under control." " Asteroid a-five control." "Transmit your security verification." " Officers haldane and castle, 88th precinct." "We're transporting prisoner 1-9-7." " You're cleared for docking." " Nice talking to you, too, Buddy." "Must be a new guy." " Prisoner 1-9-7?" "You moron, that's not Gagnon!" "Oh, great!" "You just let in some penny-Ante pick-Pocket and two cops!" " Hey, volker, what's goin' on here?" "I thought Gagnon was the only scheduled delivery." " The old fool already had one foot in the grave." "Maybe he croaked." " Shut up!" "He can take care of you from beyond the grave, too, you know!" " Both of you, shut up!" "We've got cops to think about now." " Wow!" "Impressive security." "Look at all those guards." " Yeah, they're probably all gettin' ready to watch the baseball game." " It's not usually this quiet." " Coffee break." " Oh, whatever." "Let's make this quick." "This flu's making me feel like death warmed up." " Please, after you." " Look at that-- See, chivalry's not dead." " Sure, but you have to go to prison to find it." "Nobody's here either-- Something's wrong." "There's always an escort waiting." " Sorry to keep ya." " Yeah, no problem." "Why is it so quiet around here?" " Probably the ion storm-- Everyone's kinda spaced out." " Yeah." "Uh, look, I need you to sign for this guy." " Sure." "Uh... wasn't ariset Gagnon supposed to be on this run." " He's running late-- He'll be on the next one." " I've kinda been lookin' forward to Mr. Gagnon's arrival." " Yeah, well, he's some piece of work." " Hey, uh, houdini, right?" " That's right." "Watch your back with this guy." "There's more to him than meets the eye." " Officer haldane, after all we've shared together." " Oh, Harry." "Let's go!" " I don't think so!" "We'll take the weapons." "The multi-Comms, too." "I'm Warden volker." "Welcome to the rock." " Hey, I see a new hair." "No, that one was there already." " give it a rest, will ya, romek?" " You know, once you start usin' that stuff, you can never stop, or it's, uh... hair today and gone tomorrow." " funny!" "A real laugh riot!" " Took?" "Where's Gagnon?" " Oh, a couple of medical guys are bringing him up." "Where's Jane?" " Oh, she left for the rock already with haldane." "They went ahead with houdini." "I'm with you on the Gagnon run." "Tired?" " No." "Fredo, did you ever have feelings about people you're close to?" " What kind of feelings?" " Like when your wife is sick, and you're not with her, but you just know it." " Ah, you're in love." " No." "It's Jane, and it's not good." " My god-- What have you done?" " You'll find out soon enough." "Okay, hold it right there." "Okay, move it." "Move it." "You, too, wise guy." "Breathe easy, folks." " Warden bronkov!" "He's still alive-- Give me some help." " You're wasting your time." " who are you?" " Elliss." "I'm the prison doctor." " What the hell happened here?" "What happened?" " Volker." "He released a virus into the ventilation system." " What kind of a virus?" " They modified the altorian flu, so it attacks the central..." "Nervous system... faster." " How fast?" " Symptoms start Soon after exposure." "Humans have a little longer." " So what do we expect?" " Headaches, fever..." "Then hallucinations... and paranoia... then you become comatose... after that, you've got about an hour." " Volker has an antidote?" "Dr. Elliss, can you hear me?" "Doctor!" " Stay with us, doc." " Get away!" " It's all right." " Come on, doc." " He's hallucinating." "Doctor!" "Doctor!" " What a way to go, huh?" " I'm not ready to go yet." "The next time I offer to take Brogan's place, remind me to have my head examined." " Well... look at it this way, according to the doc, at least we still have a little quality time left." "God, my head feels like a lead balloon." " don't." " What about you, nothin'?" " It's hard to tell." "I feel just as bad as I've been feeling all day." " headache, anything?" " No-- Just this stupid flu." " Yeah, well, maybe it's protecting you in some way or somethin'." " Maybe." "I've gotta get outta here." " Yeah, that's great." "And how exactly are we supposed to do that?" " I can help." " How the hell did you get outta there?" " I'm an escape artist-- That's what I do." "Turn around, please." " What?" " If you want me to help you get outta here, turn around, please." " How the hell did you do that?" " It's a trade secret." " Come on, Jack, let's go!" " Where we goin'?" " the cruiser." "Come on, houdini-- Houdini?" " What'd I do?" " What's the matter with you?" " I say we take the cop cruiser and get the hell outta here!" " Oh, that would be inconspicuous." " So we'll spray paint it." "Look, Gagnon's messed up his own plan." "We don't have to wait now." " Shut up!" "Get rid of him!" " All right." " What's he doin' here!" "What are you doin' here?" " Room service." " Where are the cops!" "Houdini, where are the cops!" " Officer Warren, report to sergeant fredo." "[coughing]" " How are the wife and kids lately, podly?" "[coughing]" " So, Gagnon, they didn't let you go home then?" " Well, you know, in a way they did." "I got all my friends on the rock." "It'll be like a reunion." " Some party." "Sorry I'm not going to be there, but I'm glad we helped to put you and your pals together." " I guess I'll always owe ya one for that, huh, podly?" " Enjoy the rock, Gagnon!" " I'll do that." "I hear the air's good out there." " a simple trade." "You give me the antidote, I tell you where the cops are." " Yeah." "You'll tell us now, or we'll kill ya!" " Ooh, scary thought for someone with a terminal disease." " Okay-- All right." "Give 'im what he wants." "But if you're lyin' to me," "I'll tear you apart, piece by piece." " Come on, Jack!" " Whoa!" "That stuff's potent." " Yeah, well, come on, now." "Where are they, huh?" "Come on-- Come on!" "Come on!" " I'm surprised you didn't figure it out for yourself." "They've gone for the cruiser." " the tunnel." "You're stayin' with me, smart guy." " Come on, Jack, we've gotta keep moving." " I'm trying-- I'm trying." " Come on, Jack-- Come on, Jack." "Come on." "Let's go." "Come on." "Jack-- Jack, it's me." "Jack!" " No-- No!" " Jack, it's me!" " No-- no!" "No-- no!" "No-- no!" "No-- Stop!" " Come on-- It's me." "Jack-- Jack." "Jack." "It's all right-- It's all right." "It's all right." "Okay?" "Come on." " I guess..." "I guess I'm losin' it." "Go on without me." " Oh, forget it-- That's not an option." "Come on-- Come on, Jack!" " I'm sorry." " None of that." " You can stop right there, cops." "I knew where you were goin'." "you can't hide from us." "We're gonna come get ya." " Any ideas?" " As a matter of fact, yes." " Houdini?" "Get in-- down here." " Cranston, answer me!" "Cranston, come in, will ya!" "Cranston, where are ya?" "Come on, answer me!" "Cranston!" "Cranston, come on!" "Come in, cranston-- Where are ya?" " You can tell volker." " Volker, we can't find him." " I don't wanna hear it, cranston!" "Just do it!" "I'll meet ya in the docking bay, okay?" " We're already there." " Yeah, well, you stay there!" "You still not sick, Officer?" " Maybe your flu's protecting you." " Oh, maybe." "But you were sick-- How come you're not anymore?" " You were right about volker" " He has an antidote." "I made a trade." " So that's how he found us?" " a guy's gotta live." " Jack, come on, stay with me, okay?" "Come on, we've got to go." "Come on." " The docking bay's right up there." "I'll check it out." "The best thing you can do is give him your flu." "It might even save his life." " How do I do that?" " Think about it." " Janey, I'm scared." " I know-- me, too." " Hey, you!" "How much longer you gonna be keepin' me here?" " I'm telling you-- He's not worth looking for." " All right-- Okay" " Okay" " Okay." "Calm down!" " Hey, cranston, I'm calm." "Don't always be tellin' me to calm down." " All right-- All right." "All right." "Uh, gotta tell Gagnon about this." " It's a waste of time." "The cops'll be on their last leg." " Yeah, well, that's volker for ya." "I'm gonna have a lot to tell Gagnon when we get outta here." " No kidding." "Okay, let's go." " Jack's in a bad way, houdini" " You've gotta help me." " You pull-- I'll push." " Come on, Jack." "I've got you." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Easy." " Well, Well, well, what a coincidence." " Well, what are you waiting for, volker?" "Why don't you just shoot us now?" " You know, that's a good question." "But then I wouldn't get to see my little virus do it's number, will I, huh?" "Come on-- Come on." "Come on, let's go!" "Houdini!" " So castle and haldane aren't back yet?" " No, sir." " Captain." "Haldane and castle's cruiser just showed up on the scanner comin' out this side of the ion storm." " About time!" " Yeah, but here's the weird part." "They're headin' downtown, away from the station, and totally ignoring' our calls." " Well, what are you waiting for?" "Get after them!" " There they are." "[sirens wailing]" " Castle and haldane, please respond immediately." "You know, I don't think that's them." " I think you're right." "Haldane's crazy, but he ain't that crazy." "Descend to ground level, now." " What took you so long?" "Follow me." " Ever get the feelin' you're talkin' to yourself?" " All the time, orin-- All the time." "[sirens wailing]" " Okay, here we go!" " This guy really is nuts!" "There's no way outta that place!" "All right, joyride's over!" "Get outta the cruiser, nice and slow!" "What the hell!" "Where'd he go?" " Hey, what's this?" " Sorry to hit and run, officers, but I thought you guys oughta know your buddies on the rock are in big trouble." "The inmates have taken over the asylum, and they're waiting to spring Gagnon." "Gotta go." " They're waiting to spring Gagnon!" "Who's waiting!" " Well, there are several of Gagnon's organization currently incarcerated in the rock, sir." "Shall I put together a swat team, captain?" " Fredo, the rock is the highest security prison in the system." "If a swat team blasts their way in there," "Jane and haldane will be as good as dead." " Yeah, you're right." "Well..." "if it's Gagnon they want... it's Gagnon they get." " Nothin' yet?" " Nah." "Oh." "How's your boyfriend, Officer?" "Ooh, not good, huh?" "How come you're so perky?" "You know, you're pretty, Officer." "Oh, my, you're hot, or is that just me?" "What would you be willing to trade for the antidote, huh?" "Hmm?" "Oh!" "Tie her up!" " Volker, stop foolin' around!" "There's a cruiser comin'-- I think it could be Gagnon!" " Asteroid a-five control, transmit your security verification." " Officer took and sergeant fredo, 88th precinct, transporting prisoner 2-6-2." " You are cleared for docking." " S.P.A." " Well, here it goes." "Ready, captain?" " Ready." "Now remember, just stick to the plan." "There are officer's lives at stake here." " I've been waitin' for this moment a long time." " Yeah, I know what you mean." " No, you don't, cranston." "This organization needs some New blood at the top." " Hey, I don't like what I'm hearin', volker." " Well, you don't have to listen." " oh!" "Oh... oh." " Well, that takes care of that problem." " Put your hands up." "Welcome to the rock, officers." "Put 'em in one of the cells." "Move it-- move it!" "It's a privilege to meet ya, Mr. Gagnon." " Yeah." "Mr. Gagnon." " Mr. Gagnon." "Nice to see you, sir." " Yeah." " You know, I've worked for you for 15 years, and we've never met." "You know, it's a pity it's gonna be such a short acquaintance." " Ah!" " Captain, look out!" " Ah!" " Now, are you a little hot, or is that just me?" "Huh?" " All right, haldane!" "Haldane!" "That's enough!" "On your knees, volker!" "Hands behind your back!" " Oh, thank god you're all right." " Yeah." "It's easy for you to say." "Thanks to you, I got one hell of a cold." " Romek, we're finished up here!" "Send in the crew!" "And bring some medics, fast." " Vaccinations for altorian fever will be administered by Officer con." " Hey." "[device ringing]" " talk to me, Brogan." " haldane, I hear you had quite a day." " Yeah, yeah, the ball game?" " We didn't watch it." " What?" "!" " Uh, Matt and I discussed it, and we decided that we missed you too much." "So we've recorded it, and now we can all watch it together." " I'm on my way." " Yeah, but just, uh, make sure nobody tells you the score before you get here." " My ears are plugged." " I am happy to see you alive, Officer haldane." " What do you mean, you're happy, slomo?" "You don't have feelings." " I know-- It was a platitude." " Well, I would love to sit here and discuss platitudes with you, but I've got a baseball game to go watch." " Baseball?" "Oh, yes, that stupid earth game where humans stand around doing nothing for three hours." "I believe the final result was" " Slomo, slomo, no!" "Turn it down!" "Go away-- Go away!" "I don't wanna know." "Go away." " Oh, sorry." " Better take care of yourself, haldane." "That's a nasty bug you've got there." " Yeah, tell me about it." "Look, I don't know if you've noticed, but I was a little out of it back there." " I noticed." " Yeah, um..." "You know when you did that... were you just tryin' to give me your flu or" " That's for me to know and for you to wonder about." " Okay." " Hey, haldane, did you hear the baseball score?" " No" " No" " No-- quiet!" "I don't wanna know!" " Where you been, man?" " What'd I miss-- What'd I miss?" " You didn't miss anything." "All right, you ready?" " Yeah, let's go!" " Welcome to the seventh game of the world series, pitting the New York YANKEES-- [all cheering]" " Against the yami-Yuri giants." "[all booing]" " Hey, guys!" "You hear the giants won, six to five?" "Sado hit a home run in the bottom of the 12th." "What-- What'd I say?" " Uh, I think it's time you went to bed, honey." " Yes, Goodnight!" " A baseball fan's idea of Paradise." " What'd she say-- I didn't hear her." " Me either-- Haldane?" " Not a word-- Let's go." " All and all this has the makings of another classic, and as you can see, the excitement level is off the scale here tonight, folks!" " Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" "Brogan, Brogan, play that back." " The whole enchilada." " Right there-- Right there!" "Freeze frame-- Freeze frame!" "Zoom in." "You see what I see?" " That's houdini." "How in heaven did he-- [all laughing]"
