S1E1 – Pilot

Scene 1

Voiceover: On March 21, 1963, Alcatraz officially closed due to rising costs and decrepit facilities. All the prisoners were transferred off the island . . . Only, that’s not what happened. Not at all.

A boat, the “Warden Kelvin”, is seen pulling in the the dock on Alcatraz. It is night time and there is fog in the air.

Two prison guards are seen getting off the boat and walking along the dock. The ship’s captain and the boat hand remain with the boat.

The guards are wearing uniforms from the 1960′s.

The dock is empty, no one around at all.

Older Guard: What the hell?

[Wind howling]

The guard tower is shown. It is empty too.

Younger Guard: What is it?

Older Guard: Ready your weapon.

Both guards pull their weapons, and continue towards the prison.

Younger Guard: What’s happening?

Older Guard: Two guards . . . always meet the transfer.

Younger Guard: Maybe they forgot.

They pause next to an old truck as they look in the cab.

Older Guard: This is Alcatraz. No one forgets.

[Thunder rumbling]

They continue walking towards the prison building.

[Clang]

The guards walk in to the prison building. The older guard pushes open an iron bar door, which is unlocked already and they walk out on to the cell block floor of Alcatraz.

Older Guard: (Yells) Is anyone here?

No answer except thunder. The older guard pulls back the hammer on his revolver.

Older Guard: Follow me.

[Suspenseful music]

Guards walk along main floor of prison looking in the cells. The cells are all empty.

[Thunder rumbles]

The Older Guard stops walking and releases the hammer on the revolver.

Older Guard: Radio the station. Tell them to send everyone.

Voiceover: 302 men disappeared that night. They were never seen or heard from again . . .

Until now.

Scene 2

Main floor of Alcatraz prison. Present day.

Tourists are standing on the main floor of Alcatraz, looking in the cells and listening to an audio tour through headphones. A park ranger watches over the tourists.

Male Narrator from Audio Tour: They stayed in their cells 24 hours a day.

[Metallic groaning}

A young girl around 10 years old notices the noise since she is not listening to the audio tour. She walks away from her group unnoticed towards an area with a “Closed to the Public” sign on the door. She opens the door, and walks down a row of cells. She comes to a solitary punishment cell and pulls open the cell door, backs up and screams.

[girl screams]

The park ranger notices the scream first and runs towards the sound. Her mother realizes she is missing and screams “Suzie”.

Man: Where the hell is she.

Girl shown standing in front of solitary confinement cell with door open looking in at the floor. Her parents come up and grab her in their arms while the park ranger looks in to see a dark shape on the floor in the back right corner of the cell.

Ranger: Hey, buddy, you can’t sleep in here.

The shape on the floor is a man who slowly starts to get up.

Ranger: You got two minutes to get the hell outta here.

[ominous music]

Man walks out of cell, squinting his eyes when he encounters the sunlight. He in unshaven, wearing a button up denim shirt with a white t-shirt on underneath.

Tour Guide: As I was saying, on March 21, 1963, Alcatraz officially closed due to rising costs . . .

Man looks at the tourists and tour guide with wonder as they head back to the main cell block floor.

He looks nervous as he follows them out, putting on a black P-coat as he walks. He exits the building to see San Francisco across the bay. He walks nervously towards the dock area. He gets stopped just before reaching the boat by another park ranger.

Park Ranger: Ticket, sir?

The man reaches in the pocket of his coat and pulls out a key on a silver chain, a wad of cash, and a ticket.

Park Ranger: Hope you had a nice time on the Rock.

The man nods, and walks on to the boat. Once on the boat he sits down on a bench, reaches over to a bag that has been left by a tourist, and pulls out a book, “Inmates of Alcatraz”. He flips through the book, looking at the mug shots of the prisoners, flips one more page and finds his mug shot. He is prisoner 2024 – Jack Sylvane – who arrived at Alcatraz on 04/27/1956.

Scene 3

Main cell block of Alcatraz. The lights are all turned out. Guards are walking the floor and catwalks.

[Bell rings, whistle blows]

The lights turn on in the cell block.

Alcatraz – main cell house – 1960

Man: Inside “B” and “C” head count.

Man #2: First tier. “C”.

Jack Sylvane stands up in a cell and turns to face the bars.

Man #3: 15, inside “C” second tier.

Man #4: 14, inside “B” first tier.

Man: Rack ‘em!

A guard moves the lever to open the cell doors as the prisoners line up to exit their cells. The cells open and the prisoners step out.

Man: Toes on the line. 25. Move, move, move, move!

The prisoners begin walking in a single file line down the cell block.

Man: Let’s Go!

Deputy Warden: Not so fast, 2024.

Jack stops and turns to see the deputy warden approach with two guards.

Deputy Warden to guards: Shake it down.

The guards move in to Jack’s cell and begin to search his cell, throwing things everywhere.

The guards exit the cell.

Guard 1: It’s clean, Mr. Tiller.

The Deputy Warden walks in to the cell, reaching around his back as he does. He picks up a picture frame from a shelf at the back of the cell and looks at the picture, throws the picture on the bed, it is a picture of a beautiful blond woman. The warden then turns around holing a wooden handle screw driver. He exits the cell, showing the guards the screwdriver.

Deputy Warden: Clean, my ass.

Jack Sylvane: That’s not mine.

The Deputy Warden places the screwdriver under Jacks, chin, wooden handle at his throat.

Deputy Warden to guards: Take him away.

Jack Sylvane: Today is visiting day.

Deputy Warden: Not for you.

Scene 4

Back with Jack Sylvane on the boat in present day. Jack flips through the book again until he comes to a black and white picture of The Warden and the Assistant Warden. His face contorts in anger. He looks at the next page, a color picture of a man receiving an award. The man is old. The caption of the picture reads: E.B.Tiller receives the FBI’s highest honor – the Medal of Honor.

Jack Sylvane: Tiller.

Jack closes the book, stands, and walk to the rail of the ship looking back at Alcatraz. He then turns and looks at the approaching City of San Francisco. He then looks back at Alcatraz with a determined look on his face.

Scene 5

Man running up stair on outside of building. Man in black suit seen running after him. Woman running after man in suit.

First man jumps off the roof of one building to a lower roof of an adjacent building. Second man jump as well, but does not land on roof, instead hitting side of building and grabbing on to a plastic pipe to hang on.

First man stops and turns to see Second man hanging on to pipe, almost ready to fall off the side of the building. First man runs back to where second man is hanging and kicks at him, causing man to loose grip with his right hand. He is now hanging from the building, only holding on to a metal pipe with his left hand. The woman arrives at the edge of the first roof and yells.

Rebecca: No!

The first man pauses and looks up at her. He begins to run away as Rebecca backs up to make the jump and the man struggle to grab the pipe with his right hand. Rebecca jumps, landing hard on the lower roof and looks to see where the first man has gone. Rebecca runs to the edge of the building where the second man is hanging from the pipe, holding on with both hands.

Second man: Madsen!

Rebecca reaches over the edge of the building as the man dangles.

Rebecca: Come on! Take my hand! Come on!

The man reaches up with his right hand, trying to take her outstretched hand. He grabs her hand, his fingers in her palm, hers in his.

Rebecca: Okay, all right.

His hand slips out of hers, the pipe breaks free from the building and he falls, screaming, to the ground.

Man: Madsen. Madsen.

Scene 6

Rebecca is sitting in an office with a far away look in her eyes, not responding to the man’s voice.

Man: Detective Madsen.

Rebecca flinches and her mind returns to the room.

Man: You hear a word I’ve been saying?

A man stands before her holding a number of file folders, the top one is open.

Rebecca: Lieutenant, I respect you too much to say yes.

The Lieutenant sits down in an office chair.

Lieutenant: You’ve been flying solo for three months. It’s time to get you partnered up again.

Rebecca nervously looks toward the door.

Rebecca: Um, I just remembered that I have …

She stands to try and leave

Lieutenant: Sit.

She sits back down.

Rebecca: Yes, sir.

The Lieutenant is looking through the top file again.

Lieutenant: Let’s start with Rivers. Just coming off a stint in vice.

He look up at Rebecca.

Rebecca: You know, I don’t think Rivers knows I’m a detective here. He’s always asking me to make him coffee.

The Lieutenant looks at another file.

Lieutenant: How about Hollier?

He looks up at Rebecca.

Rebecca: Too slow.

Lieutenant: Fiveash.

Rebecca: Too fast.

Lieutenant: Kheel.

Rebecca: Too Blond. We’d look like the Hardy Boys.

Lieutenant: Look . . We all took a loss that day. But you gotta stop blaming yourself.

Rebecca shakes her head.

Rebecca: I don’t. I blame the guy that pushed him off the roof.

Lieutenant: We’ve been through the mug shots. We followed every lead. It’s time to move on.

Rebecca shakes her head again.

[knock at door, door opens]

Man: Madsen, we got a homicide. You’re up.

Rebecca grimaces and stands up. She walks to the office door.

Rebecca: Um . . .

She turns to face the Lieutenant.

Rebecca: You’re right. Those are great choices. Um . . . I just . . .

Lieutenant: Yeah, I know.

Rebecca: Give me the day, and I’ll pick someone. I promise.

The Lieutenant nods his head.

Rebecca: Thank you, Lieutenant.

Rebecca leaves the room.

Scene 7

An older man is seen. He appears to be dead. A camera is heard and flashes are seen. The man is lying in the remnants of a coffee table with a knife sticking out of the left side of his chest.

Rebecca arrives and looks at the man as the CSIs are taking pictures and collecting evidence.

Rebecca: Who murders a guy who’s already got one hip in the grave?

Police officer: Victim’s Elijah Bailey Tiller. Folks called him E.B. 78. Neighbor says the door was open.

Rebecca looks around the room and notices a picture frame knocked over with broken glass sitting on a shelf. She goes over and looks at the picture. It is the same black and white picture of the Warden and Tiller outside the Administration Building of Alcatraz that Jack say in the book while on the boat.

Police officer: Rebecca. The vic – he was a Fed.

Rebecca turns and addresses everyone in the room.

Rebecca: All right, let’s get all we can before we get tossed.

A man in a black suit enters the room looking grim.

Man: You’re done here.

Rebecca: Excuse me?

Man: The victim was a federal agent. We’re taking over.

Rebecca: Says who?

Man: Says me.

Rebecca: And you are?

Man: Emerson Hauser. Now, get out.

Rebecca: I don’t leave a crime scene unless my immediate supervisor orders me to.

[cell phone rings]

Rebecca reaches for the phone. The call is from Lt. Reeger. She hangs up on the call without even answering. She turns with a disgusted look on her face.

Hauser: Okay, run along and play now.

Rebecca: Thanks for being a dick about it.

Rebecca walks up to the police officer.

Rebecca: Jimmy, do me a favor? Run Emerson Hauser through the database. I wanna know where he came from.

Jimmy: What are you gonna do?

Rebecca looks at Hauser’s back, smiles at Jimmy, and walks over to the broken picture.

Scene 8

Rebecca is scanning the picture in the lab. She sites at a computer and locates a finger print on the picture frame and zooms in. She starts a search for the owner of the finger print. The search comes back to a Jack Sylvane.

Rebecca: Jack Sylvane.

She clicks on his name. The file begins downloading, then stops and the screen flashes – File Access RESTRICTED.

Rebecca: Damn-it.

She pulls up a web search engine and types in “Jack Sylvane”. The browser returns a number of hits, Most concerning a book, Inmates of Alcatraz, by Dr. Diego Soto. A picture of Jack Sylvane’s mug shot from Alcatraz is also seen.

Rebecca: Alcatraz. Vic’s name was E.B.Tiller.

Rebecca types E.B.Tiller into the search bar. The browser returns pictures of E.B.Tiller and results again for the book by Dr. Soto.

Rebecca: Deputy Warden?

She clicks on a link titled Dr. Diego Soto talks to Deputy Warden E.B.Tiller of Alcatraz. The link is www.diegosoto.wrd/interviews/E%20B%20Tiller.html It pulls up a site titled Talkin’ ‘Traz.

Rebecca: Hmm. Diego Soto.

She clicks a link with Dr. Diego Soto’s name. A Page appears of the back cover of Dr. Diego Soto’s book with his picture on it.

Rebecca: What’s your story?

She reads the information on the screen.

Scene 9

Rebecca is seen walking through a doorway in to a comic book store.

Man: That’s not fair.

Dr. Soto is seen siting at a table style video game with another man playing the game.

Man: Doc, you really wanna do that?

Doc: Shh, shh, shh!

Man: Come on, come on, come on. There ya go.

Doc: Shut up.

[end game chords]

Man: Oh! You’re too worried about the double-ups, Doc. You just gotta shoot.

Doc: You have to double up. Double-ups are key.

Doc stands up from the game. Rebecca is looking at a comic book from the rack titled ALCATRAZ.

Rebecca: Yea, the high score’s a pipe dream without the double-up. Of course, I’m more partial to Pac-Man, but maybe that’s ’cause I like to eat.

Doc extends his hand to Rebecca.

Doc: Diego Soto. Will you marry me?

Rebecca shakes his hand.

Rebecca: Dr. Diego Soto?

Doc: I’m way smarter than I look.

Rebecca: PhDs in criminal justice and civil war history. Four books on Alcatraz? I’d say you’re way smarter than we all look. I’m Detective Rebecca Madsen. I was hoping to borrow you for a case.

Rebecca hands him a picture.

Rebecca: These two look familiar?

It is the picture she took from E.B.Tiller’s home.

Doc: Yeah. Warden James and his Deputy Tiller? James is long dead, but Tiller, he’s still alive.

Rebecca: You ever do any research on an inmate named Jack Sylvane?

Doc: Sylvane? That was one unlucky cat. The guy was a World War II vet. Got sent to the Rock for robbing a grocery store.

Rebecca: How’s that a Federal crime?

Doc: That’s the unlucky part. The store sold stamps.

Rebecca nods understanding.

Rebecca: Which makes it a post office.

Doc: And feeding your family becomes a Federal offense. Sent him to Leavenworth. Another prisoner got frisky in the shower. Jack murders him. Next stop, the Rock. So . . . Whay all the interest in Jack Sylvane?

Rebecca: E.B.Tiller was killed last night. Sylvane’s prints showed up at the scene.

Doc: I’m sorry. That’s just not possible.

Rebecca: Why not?

Doc: [laughs] ‘Cause Jack Sylvane died over 30 years ago.

[ominous music]

Scene 10

A number of plates of bread with mold on the edges are seen sitting on the floor with prison bars in the background.

[shivering]

Jack Sylvane is seen shivering. He looks in bad shape. Someone steps up to the prison bars.

E.B.Tiller: Okay, 2024, on your feet.

Alcatraz – Solitary – 1960. Let’s go.

Jack struggles to his feet.

E.B.Tiller: Attaboy. That’s it.

Jack walks to the cell door where E.B.Tiller is standing on the other side of the bars.

Jack: [hoarsely] What did you say to my wife?

E.B.Tiller: Oh, would you look at that? I must have made a mistake. It’s Red getting sprung today. Not you. You should really eat something. Remember, this is Alcatraz. Things can always get worse.

[metallic clanging of cell door shutting]

Scene 11

San Francisco – Present Day

Jack is seen walking up stairs in a building.

He walks to a counter and addresses the man working behind. The man is reading a thick book, holding a pencil in his hand.

Jack: I need to use the locker room.

Man: It’s 8 bucks to enjoy the facilities as a guest.

Jack pulls a $10 from his wallet and throws it on the counter. He turns and starts heading down the hall.

Man: Hey, you got some change comin’.

Jack continues down the hall.

Jack enters a locker room and dangles the key on the chain. He goes to a locker, inserts the key and opens the locker. The key has the number 8 on it. Inside the locker we see some folded clothes, an envelope on the side. Jack reaches to the top shelf and pulls out a plastic gun case. He opens the case to reveal a semi-auto handgun and a clip in the case.

Man: Brought you your change and a fresh towel.

Jack looks up at the man while still holding the open case. He picks up the gun and the man starts to back away.

The man runs and Jack runs after, quickly catching him and throwing him agains the lockers. Jack then slams the man into the lockers across the aisle, and throws him to the ground. Jack looks up.

Scene 11

Rebecca is entering Ray’s Bar.

Ray: Becky!

Rebecca: Uncle Ray.

Ray: Hiya, sweetie. Get you something?

Rebecca: Jack on the rocks?

Ray: Jack on the rocks, huh?

Rebecca: I need your help with a homicide. Goes back to Alcatraz. DB’s Elijah Bailey Tiller.

Ray pours her drink as she sits at the bar.

Ray: So . . . Somebody finally nailed E.B.

Rebecca: I knew you’d know him. Any insights?

Ray: Ball breaker, this guy. Of the worst variety. Worked the Rock for about 10 years. Deputy Warden when I was a guard. Got out before she shut down.

Dr Soto is seen walking behind Rebecca and sitting down next to her.

Doc: Ray Archer?

Rebecca: Dr. Soto. This is my uncle Ray.

Doc: It’s an honor, sir.

Doc and Ray shake hands.

Ray: You know me?

Doc: Know you? I studied you. I even made a character out of you in my comic. Ray Archer’s your uncle?

Rebecca: Sort of. He raised me after my parents died. My grandfather was a guard too. Tommy Madsen. He and Ray were best friends. It’s where they met. You write about him?

Dr. Soto gets an odd look on his face.

Doc: Sure.

Ray: Get you a drink, son?

Doc: Club soda would be great. Well, I found him back at my place. Jack Sylvane’s transfer order to San Quentin, dated the day the Rock was closed in ’63,

Doc hands Rebecca a sheet of paper.

Doc: and look who signed it.

We see the transfer order.

Rebecca: Robert Kennedy.

Doc: And here’s Jack’s death certificate.

Doc hands Rebecca another sheet of paper.

Rebecca: Okay. So how’s a dead man dropping fingerprints at a murder scene?

Doc: You think these are phony?

Ray: Memory serves . . . Tiller joined up with the Feds. Federal Officer gets a Federal investigation. This isn’t you case, is it, Becky?

Rebecca: No, but – -

Ray: No, but nothing. If it’s not your case, stay out of it.

Rebecca: This is about Alcatraz. You worked – -

Ray: Damn it, Rebecca. Let it go. For once in your life, just . . . walk away.

Ray walks away from Rebecca and Doc.

There is a minute of uncomfortable silence.

Doc: My folks . . . are really, really smart. They teach at Stanford. And they’re always telling me what to do. But . . . smart doesn’t always make you happy. So mostly, I just hear what they have to say . . . and then do the opposite.

Doc takes a drink. Rebecca smiles.

Rebecca: You’re the expert. What do you think happened?

Doc: I don’t know. But last time on the island, I stumbled across a room that was full of files and boxes and all sorts of stuff I wasn’t supposed to see.

Rebecca nods her head.

Rebecca: Pier 33, first boat out?

They clink their glasses together.

Doc: I’ll bring the coffee.

Scene 12

Rebecca and Doc on the ferry to Alcatraz.

Rebecca: So I spoke to the Warden at San Quentin. He confirms Sylvane’s transfer and death in ’76.

Doc: But you think he’s alive and that he killed Tiller.

Rebecca: I don’t know. It just doesn’t make sense. Sylvane was a thief, not a killer.

Doc: So if Jack’s been around all this time, why’d he wait so long to kill Tiller?

Rebecca: Where the hell’s he been?

[ferry horn blows]

Scene 13

Doc and Rebecca are walking up a ramp towards the prison at Alcatraz with a group of tourists. Doc reaches over and grabs Rebecca’s arm and pulls her towards a path that leads down, away from the prison. The get to the beginning of the path and have to step over a chain with a sign hanging on it that is blocking the entrance. The path leads to ta large deserted building.

Rebecca: Where are we now?

Doc: The barracks.

They walk down a set of stairs into the basement area of the building.

Doc: The guards lived here with their families.

Rebecca: I can’t imagine children living here.

Doc: They took the boat to school every day. Way cooler than the bus.

They walk down a hallway and turn into a doorway with a few steps that lead down to iron bars blocking the rest of the room.

Doc: Here’s the room.

He rattles the locked bars.

Doc: Still locked. Any ideas?

Rebecca pulls out a lock picking kit.

Rebecca: Department issue. Flashlight.

She starts to pick the lock.

Doc: Aren’t you kind of young to be a detective?

Rebecca: Yeah. I get that a lot.

Doc: Bet you have a pretty cool origin story.

Rebecca: I was raised by a cop. He’d bring his cases home. I’d read them before bed, put post-its where I thought he should look. I actually helped him solve a few cases.

She finishes with the lock and puts her tools away.

Doc: Nice.

She opens the bars.

They walk in the room and Doc turn on the lights. There are piles of old storage boxes and file cabinets. They start to look through things. Rebecca takes an old file folder and opens it. Doc heads towards the boxes.

Rebecca: How come the inmate files weren’t transferred with the inmates?

Doc: Holy crap! You gotta come see this.

Doc sets an opened box down on the floor. Rebecca puts the folder down and heads over as Doc opens another box and looks in.

Doc: This is . . . everything! It’s all their stuff.

Rebecca is holding a ukelele she pulled from the box on the floor.

[clang]

They both hear it and look back at the entrance to the room. The lights shut off, Rebecca turns on her flashlight, draws her gun and aims it at the doorway.

Rebecca: SFPD! I’m armed.

She walks slowly towards the entrance.

A gas canister that is spewing smoke bounces down the steps towards them.

Doc: What the hell is that?

The smoke envelopes them and they both collapse to the floor passed out.

Scene 14

Rebecca opens her eyes. Everything is blurry. She can hear people talking.

Hauser: This is a mistake.

Lucy: She found us, and she won’t stop until she finds him. You need her, Emerson.

Rebecca’s eyes begin to focus better as she awakens to see a man and a woman standing in front of her.

Hauser: Good. You’re awake. Detective Madsen . . . welcome to Alcatraz.

[groaning is heard]

Doc: My head. Where are we?

Rebecca: Alcatraz.

Doc: Looks good. They’ve done some redecorating.

Doc sits up in his chair.

Hauser. Dr. Soto, I’m Hauser. I read your books.

Hauser walks over and shakes Doc’s hand.

Doc: Um, did you . . . gas us?

Hauser: We have strict protocols for intruders here.

Doc rubs his head.

Lucy: I’m Lucy Banerjee. You’re quite resourceful, Detective Madsen. Lifting the photo from the crime scene. Was not only bold but effective.

Hauser: I’ll need that back.

Rebecca stands and walks towards Hauser.

Rebecca: Emerson Hauser, you want to tell me why there’s no record of you working for the FBI?

Hauser: I run a special division in charge of criminals who hold a particular allure for our government.

Rebecca: You know I don’t believe a word of that, right?

Doc: So . . . you built the Bat Cave . . . underneath Alcatraz. But, why would you do that?

Rebecca: Who’s the old guy?

Lucy: That is a computer-generated simulation of what Jack Sylvane should look like today.

We see a screen with a picture of an aged Jack Sylvane.

Rebecca: Should?

Hauser: Lucy, run the Green Street surveillance.

We now see a screen with the surveillance footage playing.

Lucy: Traffic cam caught this last night. The older gentleman is our victim – E.B.Tiller, and meet . . . Jack Sylvane.

The footage shows Tiller walking across the sidewalk, followed by Jack Sylvane. The image zooms in on Jack Sylvane. He is still young.

Lucy: 85 years young.

Rebecca: What? That’s him?

Lucy: Dr. Soto?

Doc: It’s him.

Lucy: Jack Sylvane disappeared from Alcatraz in 1963.

Rebecca: What does that mean, he escaped?

Doc: No one ever escaped Alcatraz. Not to mention, the guy looks exactly the same, which, if you’re keeping score at home, isn’t possible.

Rebecca: So the San Quentin transfer was bogus.

Lucy: As was the death certificate.

Rebecca: That still doesn’t explain why he hasn’t aged.

[telephone rings]

Hauser: No, it doesn’t.

Lucy picks up the phone.

Lucy: Yes?

Lucy gets a concerned look on her face and glances over at Hauser.

She hangs up the phone and she and Hauser walk to the other side of the room to have a private conversation.

[Lucy whispering]

Lucy walks away, while Hauser closes the inmate folder laying on the table.

Rebecca: What’s going on?

Hauser: Local PD found a uniform at a crime scene. Alcatraz issue.

Hauser takes the folder and starts to walk out.

Rebecca: Tell you what – - I’ll give you your prints back if you let me come with you.

Hauser: Why?

Rebecca: Because you gassed me, and now you owe me one.

Hauser pauses on his way out, and shakes his head.

Hauser: Don’t forget your lunchbox.

He continues out of the room.

Rebecca: Yeah. Let’s go, Doc.

Doc: Coming!

Rebecca heads out of the room, Doc rushes to grab his bag out of the chair and follows her.

Scene 15

We see a handcuff locked around the metal pipe headboard of an old hospital cot. The camera moves down and we see Jack Sylvane lying handcuffed on the cot. He looks rough, greasy hair, unshaven, etc. His other arm has a needle in it where they are taking blood from him.

Jack: Keep at it. You’ll owe me a transfusion.

Dr. Beauregard: You’d think a month in the hole would teach you not to run your mouth.

Jack: Just saying . . . that’s a lot of blood. From a guy who ain’t sick.

The Dr. removes the needle from his arm.

Dr. Beauregard: Oh, I didn’t know there was another doctor among us.Fetch me a stethoscope for Dr. Sylvane here.

[laughing]

Alcatraz – infirmary – 1960

Dr. Beauregard: Do me a favor, Jack. Keep your opinions, medical or otherwise, to your godforsaken self.

The doctor hands the bottle of blood to the helper, and puts a piece of gauze Jack’s arm and moves it up to hold pressure and stop the bleeding.

Dr. Beauregard pulls a cigarette from his pocket, puts it in his mouth, and lights it as he walks out of the room.

Man behind privacy screen: So how many they take from you?

Jack: ‘scuse me?

Man: Vials of red warm blood?

We can see the man behind the screen in profile, lying on a cot.

Jack: What the hell do you care?

Man: This place is nothing compared to downstairs.

Jack: Sent me out on visiting day.

Man: I’m not talking about the hole. I’m talking about below the hole.

Jack: I missed seeing my wife.

Man: Trust ne, you’re better off.

Jack: Who the hell are you?

Man: The same as you. A number. 2002.

Jack: Yeah, well . . . 2002, I don’t trust you. And I ain’t better off.

The man behind the screen turns on his side to face Jack through the screen.

Man: You listen to me. Something terrible’s gonna happen here.

[ominous music and the closing of jail cells]

Scene 16

We see an old denim shirt with the number 2024 above the pocket.

Doc: 2024. That’s Jack’s number.

The locker room attendant walks towards the group, holding and ice pack to the side of his head. Hauser shows the locker room attendant a picture of Jack Sylvane.

Hauser: Is this the man who attacked you?

Attendant: Yeah. That’s the son of a bitch.

Hauser: Did you give him a locker key?

Attendant: No. He never asked.

Rebecca: And is the video camera in the lobby working?

Attendant: You kidding me? Nothings’ worked here since like 1975.

The attendant hands Rebecca a piece of paper.

Attendant: Here.

Rebecca: 591NPQN. You got a plate number.

Attendant: It’s the cab he took off in.

Rebecca: I’ll have SFPD run it.

Scene 17.

Jack Sylvane is seen walking across a street in a residential area of the city. He walks up to the intercom hanging on a iron fence around the house. The name on the intercom box is B. Flynn.

[siren whoops]

A police cars slides into the road by the house and the officers step out of the vehicle, drawing their weapons.

Police Officer: Turn around slow. Do it now! Show me your hands. I said show me your hands!

Jack looks at the officers, then looks at the house on the hill behind the fence. He looks back at the officer who is walking quickly towards him, pulls his gun and fires, hitting both officers.

Scene 18

We see a man sitting at a desk in a big open room of an expensive home.The man is working on his laptop computer when he hears a noise and gets up. He open his front door and sees the two officers that have been shot, lying on the sidewalk in front of his house. He quickly closes the door and locks it. He starts walking quickly back through the house to his office, when Jack steps out behind him. He turns to face Jack.

Jack: Are you Barclay Flynn? I’m here for you.

The man runs into the office with Jack striding behind him with his gun still in his hand. The man opens a drawer on the desk and reaches inside for something, but Jack slams the drawer shut on his hand.

Man: Ahhh!

The man stands and Jack points the gun at him.

Jack: Open the safe.

The man holds his hand up in surrender and then kneels down and opens a drawer, revealing a safe inside.

Man: Okay. See.

The man nervously twists the dial on the safe.

Man: Here. You can have anything you want.

The man opens the safe and pull a stack of cash from the safe.

Jack: Gimme the bag.

Man: The bag?

Jack: The soft black bag.

The man returns the cash to the safe and pulls out a small black purse string bag and hands it to Jack.

Man: Here, take it. Take it.

Jack takes the bag from the man.

Man: That’s it? That’s what you came for?

Jack turns the bag upside down and allows a large silver cellhouse key. Jack looks at the man, raises his gun fires. We hear the body hit the floor.

Scene 19

We see a black SUV pull up behind the police car. The bodies of the two officers who have been shot are on the ground in front of the car. Rebecca and the rest get quickly out of the vehicle. Rebecca and Hauser pull their weapons and she runs to one of the officers and checks for signs of life. Hauser checks the other officer.

Rebecca: Oh, my God. I got a pulse.

Hauser: This one’s gone.

Rebecca grabs the officer’s walkie and keys it up.

Rebecca: Officer down. I repeat – - officer down. We need backup and a bus.

She sets the walkie down, stands and speaks to Doc.

Rebecca: Stay with him.

She runs after Hauser towards the gate.

[rattling]

Rebecca stops and looks down the street to see Jack emerge from the building down the street and begin to run away. She runs after him. We have a chase seen of Jack running through the streets with Rebecca in pursuit. Jack runs down a set of stairs and Rebecca makes it to the top of the overpass, pulls her gun and points it, but Jack is gone. She is upset and puts her gun away.

We next see Rebecca walking in to the house. Hauser is in the office leaning over the desk looking at the laptop computer.

Rebecca: I lost him.

She walks over to Hauser and we see a body on the floor.

Hauser: His name is Barclay Flynn.

Rebecca: So what’s this guy’s connection to Sylvane?

Hauser: Why assume there has to be one?

Rebecca knods her head.

Rebecca: Silly me, looking for motive.

Hauser: Even if Jack Sylvane didn’t know Flynn, it doesn’t mean there weren’t people who wanted him dead.

Rebecca: So . . . you’re implying, that Sylvane’s being used by someone, that he was told to do this.

Hauser: I don’t think I was implying it. I thought I was saying it.

[door opens]

Doc comes rushing in to the house motioning to Rebecca.

Rebecca: What have you got?

Doc: Listen, Jack’s wife remarried. Only get this – - wasn’t just some guy. She married Jack’s brother.

Rebecca: She’s still alive? Jack could go looking for her.

Doc: She’s dead. But his brother, he’s still alive. And if Jack knows that . . . whoa.

Rebecca: Right. He could be next.

They start for the door but Doc stops her.

Doc: What about Eliot Ness? Won’t he be pissed if we leave without him?

Hauser is seen talking on his cell phone looking out the window.

Rebecca: I wanna find Jack. I wanna know what happened. And he’s never gonna tell us. So . . . are you with me?

Doc nods and smiles.

Doc: All the way.

Scene 20

[knock at door]

A door opens to reveal Jack Sylvane standing outside.

Man: Hi. Can I help you?

Jack: I’m Jack. Uh . . . I’m looking for Alan Sylvane?

We now see a man, older than Jack, standing in the doorway.

Man: I’m Alan Junior. I’m his son.

Jack: Uh . . . our dads were friends.

Man: Come on in.

The man lets Jack into the house. Jack walks in as the man goes around a corner.

Man: I’ll get dad.

Jack looks at some pictures on a shelf. We see a woman with a man along with a number of baby pictures of a boy. Jack turns away and continues to look around the room. He picks up a picture from a table and looks at it. It is a picture of the man and woman with a youns boy between them. They look happy.

Scene 21

We see the visiting area at Alcatraz. The woman from the pictures is holding a phone to her ear talking to someone on the other side of the barrier. It is Jack. He is smiling at her.

Alcatraz – visiting area – 1960.

Jack: How are your flowers?

Woman: [laughs] Um . . . the roses, they grow, but . . . the tulips are dying.

The woman has a distinct east European accent.

Jack pushes the button to talk back to her.

Jack: I’m sorry to hear that.

Woman: Last month I come and . . . they say you are ill?

Jack: I’m good now.

Woman: I’m worried. And . . there is no one I can ask.

Jack: I’m sorry about that.

The woman is starting to look sad and anxious about something.

Woman: Your brother, uh, Alan, says hello.

Jack: He’s looking out for you?

Woman: I must, um . . . ask you for something.

Jack: Yeah, anything. Anything you need.

They stare at each other and realization of what is happening starts to show on Jack’s face.

Jack: Oh, no.

Woman: Oh, please, you must let me go.

Jack: Please don’t do this, Sonya.

Woman: I have to.

Jack: Please don’t do this.

Woman: Please . . . you must let me go.

Jack: Don’t do this.

Woman: Give me a divorce.

Jack: No. No. No. No.

Woman: Jackie, I can’t do this.

Jack stands up and turns away from the area.

Woman: Jackie – -

Jack turns suddenly back and screams.

Jack: No!

Jack turns and picks up his chair and throws it at the wall as the guards rush at him.

Jack: Ah!

Guard: That’s it, Jack. You’re done.

Jack turns back towards his wife as the guards wrestle with him. His wife lowers her head and rubs her eyes.

Guard: Back to your cell, Jack!

Jack is quickly escorted away by two guards.

Scene 22

[metal clanging echoes]

We see Jack still holding the picture of his wife with another man and a boy. Alan Jr. walks in to the room behind him.

Alan Jr.: That’s my mom. She died four years ago.

Jack: You have her eyes.

An older man enters the room and Jack turns to him. The man stops suddenly when he sees Jack. He drops a glass of water he was carrying and is breaks when it hits the floor.

Jack: Hello, Alan.

Alan: How?

They stare at each other for a few seconds.

Alan: You look the same.

Alan Jr. looks from his father to Jack. Jack looks back at the picture he is still holding.

Jack: You got old.

Alan: They told me you died. I threw dirt on your coffin.

Jack looks back at Alan.

Jack: Did she suffer?

Alan nods slightly.

Alan: She got cancer.

Jack looks back at the picture.

Alan: She suffered. What happened to you, Jackie?

Jack looks up.

Jack: What happened was . . .

Jack looks at Alan and starts towards him.

Jack: My brother married my wife.

Alan Jr. is still glancing between Jack and his father, looking very confused.

Jack moves closer to Alan.

Jack: And nothing that came after that . . . matters worth a damn.

Jack walks up to Alan. He pulls his gun and pulls the hammer back. Jack and Alan stare at each other for a few seconds.

The front door suddenly slams open and Rebecca moves in with her gun drawn and pointed at Jack. Doc is standing in the doorway.

Rebecca: Police!

[muffled shouts]

Rebecca starts looking around the house. She walks in to the living room to see Alan Jr. tied to a chair. She puts her gun away and removes the cloth over Alan Jr.’s mouth.

Alan Jr.: He tool my dad.

Rebecca: Who did?

Alan Jr.: He said his name was Jack.

Rebecca: He say where he was going?

Alan Jr.: He said he wanted to find his wife.

Scene 23

We see Jack standing in front of a tombstone in a graveyard. It is raining.

[thunder rumbling]

The tombstone reads: Loving wife and Mother

Soyna Sylvane

1925 – 2008

Jack: It’s okay, Sonya. What you did. In my heart . . . there’s only love for you.

Rebecca appears walking towards Jack with her gun drawn and pointing at him.

Rebecca: Turn around, Jack.

Jack looks up at her as she walks slowly towards him.

[thunder rumbling]

Jack: Do I know you?

Rebecca: No, you don’t.

[distant siren wails]

Rebecca: Now, give me your gun. And I won’t blow your brains out.

Jack looks at the gun in his hand.

[siren approaching]

Rebecca: Gimme the gun, Jack. You don’t want to hurt anyone else.

Jack looks up to see Doc and Alan approaching the area. Police cars arrive and come to a stop.

Jack: I hurt people. I killed Tiller out of hate.

Police officers are seen moving in to the cemetery with guns drawn and ready.

Rebecca: And the other guy – - Flynn? Why’d you kill him?

Jack: I only did what they told me.

Rebecca: What who told you? Jack. What who told you? Where have you been? What happened to you, Jack?

The police officers close in and take shelter behind some tombstones.

Jack: Shoot me.

Rebecca: No.

Jack pulls the hammer back on his gun and raises it to point at Rebecca.

Rebecca: Jack, put down the gun!

Jack: No.

Rebecca: Do it! Get on your knees!

Jack: This is where I belong.

[gunshot]

Jack recoils, drops his gun and falls to the ground. Rebecca raises her arms and spins around.

Rebecca: Hey! Ho! Stop!

The police lift their heads from aiming at Jack.

Jack is on his hands and knees groaning. Rebecca walks to him. She grabs his arms getting ready to cuff him behind his back.

Rebecca: Tell me what happened to you, Jack. Huh, what happened?

Hauser is seen walking up to them with his gun still drawn.

[handcuffs clinking]

Hauser: I’ll take it from here. You’ve done enough on your own.

He grabs Jack by the back of his collar and pulls him to his feet. He leads him away from Rebecca. Jack turns back towards her.

Jack: You should have killed me.

Jack is lead away by Hauser as Rebecca stands watching.

Scene 24

Hauser is seen sitting in the ‘batcave’ working. We hear Rebecca open the door and see her and Doc walk down the steps towards him. Hauser and Lucy are going over a number of files and papers spread out on a table.

Rebecca: One fingerprint, as promised.

She hands Hauser the picture she too from Tiller’s home.

Doc: So what happened to Jack?

Hauser: He’s in prison.

Lucy: A spanking new identity and a nice long life sentence.

Rebecca: What about his brother?

Hauser: Oh, he won’t be a problem.

Rebecca: “He won’t be a problem?”

She looks at Hauser and Lucy, but neither act like they even heard her question.

Rebecca: I looked in to this Flynn.

Hauser looks at her.

Rebecca: No ties to Jack Sylvane or Alcatraz.

Hauser: Forget about Barclay Flynn. We need to worry about our next victim.

Rebecca looks confused.

Rebecca: “Our next victim”?

Hauser glances over at Lucy.

Lucy: Jack Sylvane was just the beginning.

Rebecca and Doc look confused.

Rebecca: You knew this was gonna happen.

Hauser says nothing, he just looks at Rebecca.

Rebecca: That’s why you’re here. You’ve been waiting for this.

Hauser: A very, very long time. Come with me.

Hauser opens a sliding metal door to reveal a room with pictures on bulleting boards along both walls and a table in the middle of the room. The pictures are all in black and white, one wall is all prisoner mug shots, the other side has guard photos.

Hauser stays in the hall as Doc and Rebecca walk into the room and start looking around.

Hauser: Meet the ’63s. 256 prisoners on the right. 46 guards on the left. On March 21, 1963, Alcatraz officially closed due to rising costs and decrepit facilities.

We see a flashback replay of the first scene in the show.

Hauser: All the prisoners were transferred off the island. Only, that’s not what happened. Not at all.

Head Guard from flashback: Radio the station. Tell them to send everyone. Kid. I don’t know where these men went or what happened to them, but we need to do our job. You understand me? What’s your name?

Younger guard: Hauser. Emerson Hauser.

Back to the room, Hauser walks in.

Hauser: The worst criminals this country has ever known are coming back. They’re coming back to our streets, and no one’s gonna be able to find them because they don’t exist.

Rebecca and Doc continue to look at the pictures. Rebecca finds one and takes interest.

Rebecca: 2002.

The picture is labeled Inmate/Madsen J. Thomas. The camera scrolls up to reveal the man who killed her partner.

Rebecca: My grandfather wasn’t a guard. He was an inmate.

Doc grimaces and looks away. Rebecca continues to stare at the picture as she flashes back to when her partner was killed. We see her partner dangling from the ledge of the building.

Flashback Rebecca: No!

We see the person they were chasing looking up at her. It is her grandfather, Tommy Madsen.

We return to looking at the mug shot of Thomas Madsen hanging on the board.

Rebecca: That’s him. He killed my partner.

Rebecca turns to face Hauser.

Rebecca: You knew this.

Hauser just stares at her.

Rebecca: You wanted me in on this all along.

Hauser walks towards Rebecca.

Hauser: Oh, no. You’ve got that wrong. You’re too young. You’re too impetuous. If you want to stay and find him, you’ll have to prove to me every day that you deserve to be here.

Doc: Is anyone else’s head exploding right now?

Rebecca: I want in.

Hauser pulls a manilla envelope from his coat pocket. He shows it to Rebecca.

Hauser: Your transfer orders.

Rebecca reaches for the envelope, but Hauser pulls it back out of her reach.

Hauser: It’ll be difficult for you. No one can know. Not Ray Archer. Not your friends. No one. If they found out, it would be very, very dangerous.

He hands her the envelope and she takes it from him. She looks at it, then looks up at Hauser.

Rebecca: I’m gonna need a partner.

Hauser turns to look at Doc.

Hauser: What, him?

Doc looks over at them. Rebecca looks at Doc, then nods.

Doc: Me? . . . Partner?

Rebecca nods again.

Doc: (enthusiastically) Yes! Of course yes!

Hauser walks towards Doc.

Hauser: Good. Good. Wouldn’t want to have to kill you.

Doc chuckles. Rebecca resumes looking at the pictures.

Rebecca: So we have to find these ’63s.

Hauser: More than that . . . we need to find who took them.

Rebecca stares at Hauser.

Scene 25

We see a black SUV driving down a deserted road through forest covered mountains at night. The SUV drives down a dirt road in the rain and then stops in the middle of no-where. Hauser steps out of the vehicle. He opens the passenger side door and out steps a handcuffed Jack Sylvane,

[thunder rolling]

The two of them walk through the woods. Jack in front with his hands cuffed in front of him and a coat thrown over his shoulders, Hauser in back wearing his suit and an nice overcoat. Hauser has his gun drawn.

Jack: I know you.

Hauser: Well, if that’s true, it’s news to me.

They come to what looks to be an old abandoned concrete building in the middle of the woods. Hauser inserts a key into a panel and open a small door to reveal a modern key pad. He punches in the number 6323 and the metal doors slide open to reveal an elevator. Hauser nods for Jack to go in. They go in. We then see shiny metal elevator doors slide open to reveal Hauser and Jack in the elevator. As Jack looks at what is revealed he looks defeated.

We see the room. It is a moder exact replica of the main cell block of Alcatraz. There are 2 guards standing at the end of the cell block holding modern weapons. There are closed circuit camera pointed all over the cell block. Hauser and Jack exit the elevator.

Hauser: Welcome home, Jack.

We see Hauser and Jack closer. There are two guards at this end of the cell block as well. Hauser turns Jack towards him, reaches in his coat pocket for the key to the cuffs, and undoes them.

Hauser: You’re not gonna give me a hard time, are you?

Jack shakes his head “no”, and Hauser smiles as he finishes with the cuffs. He then head butts Jack, knocking Jack’s coat off and causing him to stumble backwards. The two guards rush in and grab on to Jack. Jack looks up at Hauser.

Hauser: E.B.Tiller was my friend. Take him to his cell.

The guards lead Jack down the cell block as Hauser gets back on the elevator. The bottom row of cells open and they move him towards the entrance to one of the cells.

Hauser: Not to worry, Jack.

Jack looks angrily at Hauser as he is pushed in to his cell by the guards.

Hauser: You won’t be lonesome long.

The cell doors close and the guards walk away. The elevator doors shut.

End of the show.
