PART 15

216 REVERSE ANGLE 216

reveals the cell is empty. Everything neat and tidy. Even the bunk is stowed. They wrench the door open and rush in, tossing the cell in a panic as if Andy might be lurking under the Kleenex or the toothpaste. CAMERA ROCKETS IN on Haig as he spins toward us, bellowing at the top of his lungs:

HAIG

WHAT THE FUCK!

217 INT -- NORTON'S OFFICE -- MORNING (1966) 217

Norton is kicking back with the morning paper. He notices how dingy his shoes are. He glances at the shoebox on the desk. kicks his shoes off, opens the box -- and gulls out Andy's o grimy work shoes. He stares blankly. What the fuck indeed.

An ALARM STARTS BLARING throughout the prison. He looks up.

218 EXT -- PRISON -- DAY (1966) 218

Norton and Hadley stride across the grounds, ALARM BLARING.

NORTON

I want every man on that cellblock questioned! Start with that friend

of his!

HADLEY

who?

219 INT -- CELLBLOCK FIVE -- RED'S CELL -- DAY (1966) 219

Red watches as Norton storms up with an entourage of guards.

NORTON

Him.

Red's eyes widen. Guards yank him from his cell.

220 INT -- ANDY'S CELL -- DAY (1966) 220

Norton steps to the center of the room, working himself up into a fine rage:

NORTON

What do you mean "he just wasn't here?" Don't say that to me, Haig!

Don't say that to me again!

HAIG

But sir! He wasn't! He isn't!

NORTON

I can see that, Haig! You think I'm blind? Is that what you're saying?

Am I blind, Haig?

HAIG

No sir!

Norton grabs the clipboard and thrusts it at Hadley.

NORTON

What about you? You blind? Tell me what this is!

HADLEY

Last night's count.

NORTON

You see Dufresne's name? I sure do! Right there, see? "Dufresne." He was in his cell at lights out! Stands to reason he'd still be here this morning! I want him found! Not tomorrow, not after breakfast! Now!

Haig scurries out, gathering men. Norton spins to Red.

NORTON

Well?

RED

Well what?

NORTON

I see you two all the time, you're thick as thieves, you are! He must'a said something!

RED

No sir, he didn't!

Norton spreads his arms evangelist-style, spins slowly around.

NORTON

Lord! It's a miracle! Man up and vanished like a fart in the wind!

Nothin' left but some damn rocks on the windowsill and that cupcake on the wall! Let's ask her! Maybe she knows! What say there, Fuzzy-

Britches? Feel like talking? Guess not. Why should you be different?

Red exchanges looks with the guards. Even they're nervous. Norton scoops a handful rocks off the sill. He hurls them at the wall one at a time, shattering them, punctuating his words:

NORTON

It's a conspiracy! (SMASH) That's what this is! (SMASH) It's one big damn conspiracy! (SMASH) And everyone's in on it! (SMASH)

Including her!

He sends the last rock whizzing right at Racquel. No smash.

It takes a moment for this to sink in. All eyes go to her. The rock went through her. There's a small hole in the poster where her navel used to be.

You could hear a pin drop. Norton reaches up, sinks his finger into the hole. He keeps pushing...and his entire hand disappears into the wall.

221 ANGLE FROM BEHIND POSTER 221

as Norton rips the poster from before our eyes. Stunned faces peer in. CAMERA PULLS SLOWLY BACK...to reveal the long crumbling tunnel in the wall.

222 INT -- ANDY'S CELL -- MINUTES LATER (1966) 222

RORY TREMONT, a guard barely out of his teens, tries not to look nervous as they lash a rope around his chest. He's getting instructions from six different people at once.

RED (V.O.)

They got this skinny kid named Rory Tremont to go in the hole. He wasn't much in the brains department, but he possessed the one most important qualification for the job...

(they slap a flashlight in his hands)

...he was willing to go.

223 INT -- TUNNEL -- DAY (1966) 223
