So long.

Mr. Colbert, can you tell us something
about your plan now that you're a free

man? I had any experiences in prison
you'd like to share with us? Are you

going to write a book?

Are the conditions in this prison as bad
as we'd like to believe? I'm not

prepared to answer any questions at this
point in time. I will say this.

The technical violation of campaign law
which occurred several years ago is in

the past.

I'm going to ask that you leave it
there. How would you rate your political

future? No regrets?

Oh, I have regrets.

My status under the law.

regarding politics and public service is
permanently inoperative.

However, my desire to serve the people
of this state is unchanged.

That's all. Thank you. Thank you.

Yes, sir.

Excuse me, Mr. Colbert, just between us.
My sources indicate that you have hopes

of getting involved in prison reform.

I don't know who you are, and I don't
know how you came by that information.

I'm Julie Masters.

I'm with the Register.

Off the record, the answer's yes.

But, um, prison reform is
government-connected. You just finished

explaining it. I still take your special
ruling by the Board of Corrections.

That's not an easy thing to come by. How
do you plan to get it?

Delicately.

That's why I don't want any publicity,
because it would damage my chances.

And now you could damage my chances.

But I trust that you won't. And that's
all. Thanks.

He's an innocent fellow.

For he's an innocent fellow.

For he's an innocent fellow.

That's finally, finally free.

You didn't think I'd do it, did you?

No, I didn't.

I sure am glad you did.

Last time I heard you sing was in a
campaign plane.

Grounded by snow in a little town
upstate. Fort Jervis.

I was doing advanced publicity for you.

Where to, folks?

The Bugle Building, please.

He said yes?

He said he'll see you.

Reluctantly. I know, Mr. Jameson. It's
going to take a lot of convincing to get

him to your side.

I wish I could do more, but... You've
already done far more than I thought

anyone would do, Rita.

I've got to get him to listen to me.

I don't have to listen to a convicted
felon, Mr. Colbert. And I never did like

your brand of politics either.

Your editorial page has made your
position very clear over the years. Why

did you agree to see me? To take
personal pot shots at me?

Because of that young lady out there.

And incidentally, she has an ally in Mr.
Parker here.

I'm here because I need your help, Mr.
Jameson.

I need someone of high stature, of high
standing in the community like yourself

to intervene with the prison board on my
behalf.

Can you give me one good reason why I
should go to Pat for you?

Just give me one good reason.

Time. And the thousands of discarded men
who are running out of it and who are

running out of patience as well. The
conditions in that prison.

aren't fit for animals.

I've seen zoos with bigger cages.

Well, you know what it's like. I mean,
prisons are supposed to offer some kind

of rehabilitation.

And in fact, they do.

For jungle survival.

Certainly not for life in the community.

So what makes you think that Colbert
here can do a better job than the

experts who've tried and failed?

Because I've lived it. I know what the
problems are.

I know what causes them.

And I want an opportunity to do
something about it.

I want to make a contribution.

Call it retribution if it makes you feel
any better. But I need your help.

You know, we've got an opportunity here
not only to help, but also to get a good

story out of this.

Well, I need some time to think it over.

That's the best I can offer you right
now.

If I do agree,

the bugle gets an exclusive, and Parker
goes along to cover the story.

Not feel good, huh?

Well, he didn't say no.

But he didn't say yes, either.

And I'll bet he didn't give you any
indication of when he would say yes.

Well, I think you believe in something
strongly enough.

Rita, Rita, would you buzz Jameson right
away, please?

There's been a riot at the state prison.

The ringleaders are a couple of guys
named Cates and McTeague. I knew it. I

knew it was coming.

Jim, do you think you could do anything
about this?

I know those men.

But by the time Jameson gets finished
thinking it over, it's going to be too

late. Maybe not.

Maybe not. Excuse me.

Wait just a minute, Rita. I'm not so
sure this is a good idea. I think...

What's going on out there?

A prison riot.

That's right. State prison. The inmates
have taken hostages, they have control

of the security office, and they won't
negotiate with the superintendent.

Well, let's get somebody on it. Parker's
still out there, isn't he? So is James

Colbert. He thinks he could turn the
situation around.

The bugle is in a position to do more
than just cover the story, Mr. Jameson.

Why don't you give Colbert a chance?
Help him to get inside that prison.

Rita, what kind of a hold does this
convict have on you anyway?

He may be a convict to you, but to me he
is a dignified human being that gave me

a chance once at some self-respect when
I really needed it.

Mr. Jameson, he gave me my first job,
one where I was trusted and given the

responsibility I knew I could handle.

You know, you get pretty down on
yourself when you realize you are

nothing more than the corporation's
token black.

Is that what you think you are here?

I would not be here if I thought that.

Good. Here's my agenda for the day.

Get busy on it.

After you put through my call to the
Board of Corrections.

Look at that set of wheels.

Well, it's the guys from the newspaper.

They're going to put us in the
headlines.

That's our ticket out of here.

What? I can hotwire that thing in
nothing flat. Drive right out the gate.

Yeah, and right into six months in a
hole and a permanent reservation in this

pig pen.

Hey, do us all a favor, okay, big time?

Forget it, huh?

Matee's right.

I've seen a lot of cons try, and I've
seen a lot of cons fail.

So back off.

Back off of me, big man.

Maybe you want to go out of here in a
rubber sack.

But not this con.

You.

You on the end. Yes.

Come on, stand up.

Not the biggest shield I can find.

Come on.

Come on!

Up against the wall. Hands high.

Up!

Move. No, let me.

Yeah.

Hey, I said I'd contact you if and when
I had anything to say, huh?

Hopeless. I told you you were wasting
your time, Colbert. Warden, may I talk

to him? At least let me try.

Take it on the extension.

McTeague, this is James Colbert.

Hey, Colbert.

Gets in your blood, huh?

What's the matter? Can't stay away?

What do you want?

Just hear me out. That's all I ask.

What for?

Why you?

Well, you're going to have to talk to
somebody eventually, McTeague.

I faced your problems, and I understand
them. And you know that I do.

But they're not your problems anymore,
so what can you do about them?

Well, with your cooperation, I can help
you get what you want out of this.

Now, what do you say that we get
together and talk?

We are talking about it.

It'll be easier over a cup of coffee.

Hey, just slow down a minute there,
Slick.

First of all, I have a list of
conditions.

We're going to go and get out of this
tub.

Hey, wait a minute. Wait, wait a minute.
I'm not through.

I said no guards, no guns, and no
warden.

I'll agree to that.

McKeague, what do you say to a reporter?

I say lousy. A reporter?

He doesn't want you involved.

Now, look, I mean, you made a deal, and
he's making a mistake.

More than that, I...

You all

right? Yes.

Yes, I'm fine. I, uh... I was just
thinking, um... Maybe you shouldn't

pressure him right now. Maybe...

You should start negotiating and bring
me in later. I'll just back out of here

for now.

Well, it's your point, McTeague. I'm
going to see you alone.

I'll see you in a few minutes.

You're right.

I'll take COVID like a statue.

He's clean.

Well, Salad, yeah.

Well, you pulled it off so far, but we
got a long way to go to make this caper

work. Don't worry. You guys just stop
the riot and make me look like a hero.

It's in the works.

And that reporter, is he going to blow
it for us or what?

He'll be trouble.

Well, what can't you get rid of him?

For now, I have gotten rid of him.

But Cates is right. We have a long way
to go.

I had to agree that he could cover me.

He'll be back.

And he could still blow this whole
caper.

I'm going to see that he can't.

Next time his name appears in a news
flash, it will be in an obit column.

There's a whole long list of grievances
still to be thrashed out, but I've got

to tell you, Jim Colbert really handled
those inmates during the riots. After

three days of negotiation, all you've
accomplished is the concert at the

prison. Well, the negotiations on the
other things are still underway.

Wire! Command performance by my
administrative assistant.

Well, Jim thought that some live
entertainment might help to settle

things down.

So, uh, he asked me to sing.

All right.

But my deal with Colbert still stands.

I want you there, Parker. Don't worry
about a thing, Mr. Jameson. Now, Mr.

Colbert is going to meet me at my
apartment, and we're going to arrange

all the coverage.

Yes? Good.

Hello? Pete, it's Jim Colbert.

Oh, hi, Jim. I thought you'd be here by
now.

Yes, I thought so, too, but I'm running
behind schedule here at the prison.

I think that you're going to have to
meet me here. Can you leave now?

Yeah, sure. Just leave my pass at the
gate.

It's already done, Pete.

Wait a minute. What about Rita? We were
supposed to pick her up.

That's right.

Stop there first.

You bet.

Better shake it. We've got customers out
there.

Okay, so the jitters?

The giant economy size.

We have just a few loudspeakers left to
position, and we should be ready to go

soon. Okay.

I told you, I'm a reporter, and I've got
to get into that concert.

Fella, there's no pass here for anybody
by the name of Parker.

Sorry, but no pass, no play.

Look, Mr.

Colbert, James Colbert, now he was
supposed to leave it for me, and I was

supposed to pick it up. Yeah, I know Mr.
Colbert.

He arranged for two passes.

His and the gala was with him. I let him
in before.

Was that a young black woman with short
hair, kind of attractive?

Yeah. I figured she was with the show.

I checked out her guitar.

Hey, listen, do you want me to try and
contact Superintendent Bishop?

You okay?

Yeah, sure.

What about my calling the
superintendent?

No, thanks.

It's all right.

Time for your intro.

Okay.

Okay.

Now the reason you're here, a talented,
beautiful performer.

In my reflection, I cannot see

what kind of person

Move it, Casey, because the next loud
sound we hear ain't going to be the

sound of applause.

Just like the ocean.

I want to talk to you about Colbert.

Did he take you to the prison before the
concert?

Yeah, he picked me up at my place.

I was supposed to take you there,
remember?

He called me at my apartment at the last
minute and canceled our meeting. Said he

was running way behind schedule or
something. I don't know.

Anyway, I was supposed to pick you up,
and we were both supposed to meet him at

the prison.

So I opened the door to my apartment to
leave, and kaboom.

He lied to me, Rita, and he lied to you,
too.

But why?

That's what I'd like to ask Mr. Colbert.
Now, do you know where I can get in

touch with him, where he is, his
address? Ah, you're back. Good. You were

with Colbert. Now, where are the riot
pictures?

Oh, I didn't get any.

Spider-Man saved a man's life. Two
convicts escaped and you didn't get any

pictures?

Escaped? Who escaped?

A case of fatigue.

Went over the back wall during the
commotion.

They're the ones that Jim negotiated
with after the riot, aren't they?

Yes, they are. And I have a feeling they
got to talking about something other

than a new work furlough program.

What are you hinting at? I'm not hinting
at anything, sir. I am saying that

Colbert set this whole thing up so he
could bust those two out. He's been...

I'm sorry, Peter, but that's the way it
is.

Excuse me.

She'll get over it.

Go to my office. I'd like to find out
why you blew that assignment.

What's Colbert doing with a couple of
long-termers like those Khans?

Maybe we should run it through the
riddle box. What do you get when you

cross a disgraced politico with an
ex-biker, ex-boxer, and an over-the-hill

aerospace technician who got caught
taking home a few circuit boards in his

lunchbox?

Beats me. I am the foggiest.

Well, maybe we should ask Rita.

She's been working this riddle longer
than any of us. Parker, wait a minute.

Parker!

How did I do? Well, it was better than
the last time. Did I make it or didn't

I? Oh, sure. You made it by a mile.

Hey, Peter, wait.

Oh, not now. I'm sorry.

I can't wait.

Oh, great.

Listen, we did have a date. I was
supposed to meet you here.

Oh, yeah, that's right. I apologize.
Something big has just come up. I'll

have to make it up to you later.

Oh, yeah? Well, not good enough, friend.
You're on some kind of a hot lead,

right? Back off, would you, Julie? I'm
really, really in a hurry. Look, you

beat me six ways from Sunday on the
Colbert story. Is this connected?

I'm not kidding. I'm leaving.

We gotta try something else.

Just like that we threw out a whole
year's planning?

Why? Because the cycle won't make the
leap. Here, let me tell you something,

Slick.

We must have done about a million jumps
this morning, right?

Am I right?

And I only made it once.

By this much.

So what's wrong with using a chopper,
huh? We just can't fly a chopper over

the city.

They'd spot us on radar like that.

Forget it.

There's no other way.

I know it's risky. We just have to take
our chances.

Hey, I'm the one that's putting it on
the line. It's my ticket that gets

canceled.

Now listen.

There's 50, maybe 100 million bucks in
that vault on a top floor.

The only other way is the elevator.

It needs the manager's palm print to
program the elevator to stop at the

vault level.

If I could get him to do it, I wouldn't
need you.

You'd still be under the rehabilitative
care of the good people of this state

You're gonna make that leap we're gonna
do it today

Somebody there

Rita

Hello, Jim Be alright if I came in I was
just getting some papers together just

about to leave

It'll just be for a minute. I have to
talk to you.

Come on.

We've got a lot of campaign speeches
here, Rita.

Wish that's what I was doing now,
believe me.

What are you doing, Jim?

A lot of people are saying things about
you.

Terrible things.

I'm not surprised.

That's just one of many attitudes that's
going to have to be dealt with and

changed. Once a con, always a con.

You've heard that before.

And I don't want to believe it, Jim,
but...

I found this in my guitar keys.

And I know you lied to Peter about
picking me up.

Yeah, that's right, I did.

What?

Everything people are telling you is
probably true, Rita.

So you'd better believe it.

But why?

What for?

Because I'm going to get something out
of this for myself.

That's what for.

I put every cent that I ever earned and
all my energy into a political career.

It took years of planning and work.

Constant travel.

Couple of hours sleep in airport lounges
night after night.

One speech after another, one speech
after another till my throat was raw.

And for what?

I'm convicted for accepting one campaign
contribution I don't even need?

I make a minor misstep and my whole life
is blown out of the water?

Is that fair?

Is it?

Fourteen months in jail?

In that god-awful rotten hole?

I didn't lie about that.

If you're not an animal when you go in
there...

You're an animal when you come out.

Jim, I've got to go.

Rita, I'm afraid that I can't allow you
to do that.

I have a gun in the drawer, Rita. I
would rather not take it out.

Cooperate, please.

Cooperate.

Kate? McCain?

Tire up in the garage.

I'll handle it.

Something I've got to finish out there
before we go.

You better move her car around back so
nobody will spot it.

Yeah.

That's not too tight, is it?

There are far worse kinds of pains.

Believe me.

It's going to make a lot of noise. Don't
let it frighten you.

What are you doing?

Whatever you're doing.

You're not going to get rid of me, so
why don't you just level? What's here?

Don't go away, all right? Go ahead, go
ahead.

It's okay.

what's here.

Let's just say I'm playing a hunch. Oh,
yeah, yeah. Well, let's just say we're

both playing your hunch.

Julie, why don't you do us all a big
favor and go away?

Any day now.

Peter, I'm sticking with you for this
story, whatever it is.

Now, you can't change it, so why don't
you just cool down and be nice?

I'll give you some light tie

them

up too they can finger us you know

By the time they get a chance to, we'll
be sitting pretty with a hundred million

dollars where nobody can find us. Oh,
yeah, that's just great. They'll go off

and join some school for the deaf and
dumb, right?

That's what I told myself just before I
was busted the last time. Listen to me.

This is not the way to go. There's not
going to be any killings.

Now get that through your head.

Now get moving.

You too, Cates.

Let's go. Let's get moving.

I'm sorry, Rita.

But don't worry, you won't be hurt.

That man's crazy.

I don't know about you, Casey, but if we
pull this job off, I'm gonna pay a visit

to that garage on the way back.

I ain't gonna let anybody walk around
and put me back in the pig pen.

Those three, they gotta be hiding.

Can you give us a hand with this thing?

Here's the invoice.

Take us to the roof, Mac.

My name is Carlo.

Carlo.

How could Colbert get his hands on $100
million?

Did you hear them say anything?

No, only what you did when they were in
here.

Wait a minute.

Colbert was on the banking committee.

Now, they paid him off and fingered him
to save their own skins.

It was all part of some kind of
international foreign exchange currency

commission or something like that.

They claimed that he forced them to make
campaign donations.

Yeah, that's what they said, that he
offered them his vote on international

monetary issues if they... Yeah, well,
what was the name of the company, or the

bank, or what was it, Rita?

IFMN.

International Financial Monetary
Merchants.

Yeah.

They're in that big security building
downtown.

Colbert must have figured out some kind
of a way to crack their vault.

Go ahead, Peter.

I'll go with Rita.

Yeah, go, Peter.

That doesn't look too far.

That's 18 feet exactly.

Yeah, and you try an 18-foot jump with a
30-foot run.

Hello, my name is Peter Parker. I'm with
the Bugle. Who's your appointment with?

I don't actually have an appointment,
but I have reason to believe that

someone is making an attempt on your
vault.

Yeah, me too.

There are over 100 million reasons right
up there in the vault.

But let me tell you something.

There ain't nobody gonna crack this,
baby. There's no way to get to it.

And even if you could, it's pick-proof,
bomb-proof. I mean, you even touched the

surface of that door with a match, a
torch, an explosive device.

Bingo. All the bells start ringing.

Alarm system seat sensitive.

Yes, I'm aware of that. What I'm saying
is I think someone might have figured

out a way around all of those things.

Uh-huh.

Well, maybe they have, but they ain't
here yet.

I'll call you when they show.

You'd be smarter if you called the
police.

We do our own policing around here.

Thanks.

What's with the yellow box?

That is a computerized ultrasonic
sensor.

Oh, yeah?

Well, what's it supposed to do?

That is going to open the safe for us.

And it's going to do it without setting
off any of the alarms or the sensitives

or vibrations.

Not bad for an old con.

Dad. All right, we can look at it later.
Let's do it.

All

right.

That's it.

Let's go.

Looks like Spider-Man made it here
before we did.

Well, I think the door is really shut on
these guys this time.

You a witness, sir?

I'm sorry, Rita.

I know this was a pretty bitter pill.

Well, sometimes the medicine does leave
a bad taste, but it

does the job.
