0:36
Choice get busy living or get busy dying
0:40

0:53
you right here is where the car was
0:53
parked he would have stepped out
0:55
spilling the bullets and the bourbon
0:56
bottle you know all the facts we have
0:59
the accused the scene of the crime we
1:01
have Footprints tire tracks we have
1:02
bullets strewn on the ground which bear
1:04
his fingerprints a broken bourbon bottle
1:07
as he stepped out of the vehicle he
1:09
would have walked towards us you can see
1:11
these two trees in the very dark shadows
1:14
of the
1:20
shot and because the gun was never found
1:20
I find it deciding
1:23
inconvenient by the power vested in Me
1:26
by the state of Maine I hereby order you
1:28
to serve two life sentences back to
1:31
back one for each of your victims so be
1:35
it there was a massive helicopter shot
1:38
the helicopter would have been swooping
1:40
in here right across there was the Bus
1:42
full of inmates driving straight towards
1:45
sha Shank
2:08
shw
2:08
shank right on the other side of this
2:10
fence is where the Bus full of prisoners
2:11
at the very beginning would have been
2:13
traveling down it's kind of grown over
2:15
now course the helicopter shot over the
2:17
top of Shaw Shank prison looking
2:22
down hey red
3:06
you eat when we say you
3:06
eat his first night in the joint Andy to
3:09
frin cost me two packs of cigarettes he
3:12
never made a
3:15
sound creepy shower
3:18
room creepy shower
3:22
room I sure hope bogs doesn't show up
3:25
and shower next to
3:27
me there he is
3:47
that it certainly was you should have
3:47
seen his
3:52
face I'm afraid I don't have her down
3:52
the front of my pants right now sorry to
3:54
say but I'll get her my budget stretch
3:57
thin as it is I see perhaps I could
4:00
write the state senate and request funds
4:02
directly from them as far as they
4:03
concerned only three ways to spend the
4:05
taxpayers hard earn when it comes to
4:06
prisons more walls more bars more
4:24
guards they've actually torn down a lot
4:24
of the buildings that were on that side
4:26
Brooks would have walked right towards
4:27
us you can see those stairs he walked
4:30
right about here and a car almost hit
4:35
him Brooks was
4:47
here the parole board got me into this
4:47
halfway house called the Brewer
5:11
you can actually still see the nail in
5:11
the wall where the photo is
5:18
hanging sometimes after work I go to the
5:21
park and feed the birds I keep thinking
5:25
Jake might just show up and say hello
5:29
but he never
5:31
does I hope wherever he is he's doing
5:34
okay and making new friends I'm tired of
5:38
being afraid all the time I've decided
5:42
not to stay
6:08
Andy Andy I have no idea to this day
6:11
what those two Italian ladies were
6:13
singing
6:14
about truth is I don't want to know some
6:17
things are best left
6:22
unsaid it was like some beautiful bird
6:25
flapped into our trb little cage and
6:27
made those walls dissolve away
6:30
and for the briefest of
6:31
moments every last man at shaen felt
6:53
awful there's
6:55
something
6:57
inside that they can't get to that they
7:00
can't touch it's
7:03
yours what are you talking
7:06
about
7:08
Hope is no free ride but rather a
7:11
genuine Progressive advance in
7:14
Corrections and Rehabilitation
8:01
there's the warden's office right
8:01
there get him out of here this my chance
8:03
to get out don't you see that it's my
8:05
life don't you understand my life get
8:07
him out get him
9:02
I just didn't expect the storm would
9:02
last as long as it
9:24
has they actually have the original prop
9:24
that Andy crawled through
9:48
500
9:48
y That's the length of five football
9:51
fields just shy of half a
9:56
mile he would have dumped out of the
9:58
pipe way away from the the prison it
9:59
would have been from this
10:02
angle you can see the prison way down
10:04
there this bridge right here is new
10:07
right around this area is where Andy
10:09
defrain would have popped out and ran
10:12
through there they would have cleared
10:13
all that out obviously part of the tube
10:15
coming out of the ground right in there
10:17
freedom
10:37
pulling a fast one on the warden he
10:37
would have walked right through that
10:38
bank door the double doors are still
10:40
here the camera would have been facing
10:42
this way you would have seen both these
10:44
doors open and closed the feet would
10:46
have walked that way a man nobody ever
10:48
laid eyes on before strolled into the
10:51
main National Bank look at
10:53
that the bank safe is still there you
10:56
can see that bank safe
10:59
directly behind the bank manager here's
11:02
your cashier's check sir will there be
11:04
anything else
11:06
please would you add this to your
11:08
outgoing
11:09
mail I'd be happy
12:18
check this
12:18
out you can actually still see the screw
12:21
where the photograph was hanging of
12:24
course Morgan Freeman would have been
12:25
sitting right there to me it's just a
12:28
madeup word
12:30
young fellas like yourself can wear a
12:32
suit in a TI have a
12:44
job he would have gone right over to
12:44
this window to look at the handguns and
12:47
the
12:48
compasses luckily he bought the compass
12:51
he would have been standing right here
12:53
and behind him is this Alleyway now if
12:56
you look closely you'll see him standing
12:58
here
13:03
all I do anymore is think of ways to
13:03
break my parole only one thing stops
13:07
me a promise I made to Andy coming right
13:12
over the hill in the truck
13:53
hope is a good thing maybe the best of
13:57
things and no good thing ever
14:00
dies this is where Morgan Freeman bought
14:02
his bus ticket you could see this
14:04
building in the background there was a
14:06
few people in front of the window on
14:08
that side I'm guilty of committing a
14:11
crime parole
14:14
violation the camera would have been
14:15
facing out and you can actually see this
14:18
sign of course I doubt they'll toss up
14:20
in a roadblocks for
14:22
that not for one old crook like me for
14:25
hand got Texas please
14:29
I find I'm so excited I can barely sit
14:32
still a whole of thought in my head I
14:34
think it's the excitement only a free
14:36
man can feel a free man at the start of
14:39
a long journey whose conclusion is
14:47
uncertain get busy living or get busy
