Guards get comfortable doing the same thing day in, day out.
Something happens, that's when they make mistakes.
When you see it, you have to be ready.
You have to have the entire plan already in place,
even before you know how you're gonna get out of jail.
Escaping is easy, the hardest part is staying free.
You have to know where you're gonna go
and how you're gonna get there.
You have to know how they plan to catch you, where and when.
Well, how the hell are you supposed to know that?
You pay off someone who knows.
And a lot depends on if the prison is in the country or the city.
- Where are you from? - Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh's tough.
So many bridges and tunnels they can block off.
From the time they make the call,
the police can have the center of the city sealed tight in fifteen minutes.
How can they be so exact?
After 9/11, Homeland Security made every city have a lock-down plan.
Downtown Pittsburgh, Philly, Boston, Minneapolis, fifteen minutes.
They can do D.C. in under ten.
Within thirty-five minutes, they can have cops
at every tollbooth on the interstate
and be running rolling stops on the secondary roads.
They won't have your photograph yet,
but they will have your description.
What if you can't get out? Thirty-five minutes is not a lot of time.
Then surrender.
Because they will shoot you on sight, along with anyone else you're with.
Stay far away from the train and bus stations.
Forget the local airports. Leave from another state.
Second, identity. It's easy to find fake papers,
harder to find ones that will get you through an airport.
You will need a passport, a driver's license and a social security number.
If you have to rent a car, find a place that will take a cash deposit.
They will still run a credit check, so...
use a real person's name on the ID.
Third, destination.
You want somewhere that doesn't attract American tourists.
Think Yemen, and you get the idea.
And money, you will need a truckload of it.
Everything's expensive, hotels, travel, information.
How much?
Enough to last at least five, six years.
You run out of money, you run out of friends.
But before you do anything, you have to ask yourself if you can do it.
Can you forget about ever seeing your parents again?
Can you kill a guard? Leave your kid at a gas station?
Push some nice old lady to the ground
just because she gets between you and the door?
Because to do this thing, that's who you have to become.
And if you can't, don't start,
because you will just get someone killed.
