[The Shawshank Redemption] Converted

"You can't call me by my name..." When Andy heard this, the right hand that was placed on Byron's forehead quickly retracted to his waist as if it had been scalded.

At the same time, he lowered his head slightly, and Andy whispered to himself: "Sorry, Mr. Hadley..."

At this moment, he thought a lot.

The few words and phrases written next to the sketches of religious paintings, although the paper is rough and the handwriting is random, the unique insights revealed in the words made him seem to have returned to his college days.

It seems that I am visiting the exhibition hall with my confidant and old friend in my spare time, talking freely about a masterpiece.

The sincere concern of the past few days made him forget that Andy Dufresne is a prisoner who will be trapped in Shawshank for life; and Byron Hadley, the number one officer of the guard, is destined to have a different identity from him , can't be friends.

Turning his head, Andy saw a ray of sunlight that happened to shine on Byron's police badge. It was shining brightly, not dazzling but hard to ignore, just like the brilliance that the person in front of him had stood in the gloomy fortress for a long time and had never been covered up.

Although Byron's next sentence was vague, it managed to interrupt Andy's thoughts.He suddenly raised his head and looked at the prison guard who was talking nonsense. Seeing that the expression on his face was not sober, he quickly stepped forward.

He walked around the desk and reached out to close the small window behind Byron, and then he was in a dilemma.

If it is said that Captain Byron was blown by cold wind and had a high fever and was so confused that he needed to be sent to the hospital, the temperature on his forehead is really normal; A loving father.

Not long after the window was closed, Andy keenly caught an unusual smell in the air, and just as he picked up the ashtray, Byron finally regained consciousness.

I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune, but he still remembers exactly what happened just now when he was in a daze.

However, Byron didn't care about being ashamed of his nonsense. He looked at the natives of this era and asked, "Dufreland, is it this smoke..."

Andy confirmed that the captain of the guard in front of him had returned to normal, and he said with a normal face: "Sir, if I guessed correctly, there may be some ingredients here... If it wasn't brought from outside, it should be Cannabis with a low purity."

Growing up in the era of information explosion, even if Byron had never seen these things with his own eyes, he quickly realized which kind Andy was referring to, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It seems that there is still room for redemption..."

Immediately, Byron realized something, he stared at Andy and said, "You mean, this kind of thing has been circulating in Shawshank?!"

And Andy just lowered his head and stopped talking.On the one hand, he didn't know much about the prison's underground business, on the other hand, he really couldn't believe that, as the captain of the guard, he didn't know anything about it.

Byron also knew that he had asked Andy, who had been in prison for more than a year, that he had found the wrong person. He took the ashtray from Andy's hand, got up and walked to the door.

Dressed neatly, Byron looked like the indifferent and majestic Mr. Captain. He turned his head and assigned tasks to Andy: "The stack on the right side of the table is the drawings to be marked, and the top one is an example. You can do it accordingly." Bar"

Thinking of the embarrassing scene just now, Byron swallowed all the words about Andy's condition, turned and went out.

But Andy, who kept his head slightly lowered, never saw the pair of red ears under the police cap.

Byron, who walked forward with his head held high and imposing like a rainbow, couldn't calm down for a long time, not because he was still thinking about those illusions.

It was him who had been studying in New England for ten years, and he still couldn't understand that on the same earth, the cancer that China had sacrificed countless heroes to eradicate could grow wantonly in the United States, and even made poppies bloom to Inside the bars.

'This group of people came to the prison, the days are beautiful, there is no need to worry about food, drink, and cigarettes! ' Walking into the brig where the Sisters were kept, Byron thought sullenly.

Hagrid and Molt, who were on duty, saw the captain and greeted them together: "Captain Hadley! Good morning!"

"Well, good morning, where were the three guys locked up the day Trout was on duty?"

"The leading Boggs is in the confinement room No. 6 on the far right, and the other two are in No. 1 and No. 3 respectively," Molt said according to the records left by his teammates.

Byron took the booklet, walked to the iron door marked No. 6, opened the delivery window, and said in a deep voice, "31804, the five packs of cigarettes that were delivered to me a few days ago belonged to you?"

When Burgess heard his number, he stretched his numb legs and jumped to the window, looked at the captain of the prison guard anxiously, and said flatteringly: "Yes, yes, sir! I prepared it for you. How about it, it’s a good product!”

Captain Byron, who had always been ignorant of affairs, came suddenly and gave him false expectations - he had nothing to do to see what he was doing, the gifts must have worked, and he might be able to leave early.

"Oh? How did I hear that the three of you sent it together? How much of this stuff do you have?"

Byron stood outside the door with a blank expression on his face. For a moment, Boggs couldn't tell the other party's true intentions, so he said tentatively: "Mr. Let me go out to work earlier, and I will definitely find you more as soon as possible..."

"That is to say, you have a channel." Byron's gaze sharpened instantly, and Andy really didn't wrong these bastards, and he was serious and full of five poisons.

Burgess has been in prison for ten years and has met many prison guards who are interested in these things, but Byron is not like a master who can "do business" with them.

Alarm bells were ringing in his heart, and he said with a smile: "What you said, it's also a coincidence for me, how can there be any fixed channel..."

Byron knew that he couldn't get out of the traffickers behind him, so he didn't bother to argue with them, and said bluntly: "I think you understand what I mean, but if you don't want to say it, that's easy, don't you still have two good sisters? I'll just ask them."

After hearing this, Boggs couldn't help laughing at the naivety of the captain of the guard in his stomach. If the sister gang asked this question, they would be asked, so they don't have to mess around as soon as possible.

But immediately, his face turned pale, because before his window was closed, he heard Byron say to Rust in confinement room 3: "31438, about the channel, you said it, you go out, the rest Two lockups for a month. Don’t talk about it, it’s okay, it depends on whether your good sister can share the same hatred.”

This principle comes from the "Prisoner's Dilemma" game theory proposed by the RAND Corporation in 1950. It is really suitable for treating gang crimes.

It is naturally impossible for Berggs to know about the crisis of trust and rational choice, but he knows very well that people are on the verge of collapse after staying in this ghost place for a week.

Being imprisoned in a dark room without sound for 30 days is far worse than offending the prison traffickers.

In other words, even he himself might spit out in order to avoid a month's punishment, let alone the other two.

There is no mutual trust among criminal gangs. Everyone is afraid that they will suffer if they say it late. This situation cannot be broken at all.

In less than half an hour, Captain Byron got a list from each of the three cells that did not communicate with each other, left an order: "We will be locked up together for another ten days", and strode away.

Back in the office building, Byron was about to walk back to his room familiarly, but suddenly realized that Andy was still there, so he stopped and said loudly to the inside: "Walley, come out for a moment!"

Waley hurried out from the mail room in the back room, waiting for the captain's order.And Byron handed him a compiled list and ordered: "Through the broadcast, let the four people on the list wait for me in the hall during the wind-off time."

Andy, who was drawing at his desk, subconsciously stopped his pen when he heard a familiar voice, but he didn't wait for the man to come in until a ball of ink condensed on the tip of the pen and almost stained the drawing.

Not long after, the loudspeaker on the playground blared, and Waley's voice came out: "Benson, 30243; Claude, 34210; Ellis, 30265; Rannard, 31497... all gather in the main hall, no one is allowed. be late"

The first time it was played, Andy didn't pay attention; but when the horn sounded again, he murmured: "30265...isn't that Rhett's number?"

Yes, some nicknames have been called for a long time, and people often forget their real names.Ellis, known as "Red", is the black elder who sold Andy the stone hammer.

When Byron walked into the main hall, the four people who had been called were standing in two distinct groups. The darker-skinned Rhett and Ranald looked forbearing and let the two opposite them yell.

When rivals meet each other, they are extremely jealous, and those who grab business are naturally no exception.But from the Civil War to the present, the human rights of people of color have been recognized, but they have always been inferior to the slave owners who had drawn their blood and skinned them.

And Benson and Claude dared to act presumptuously in the main hall, naturally because they were considered superiors, and the warden had a share of the gold and silver earned from special cigarettes.

"...Countless, even if you are smart, you don't dare to compete with us for the tobacco business. If you are so obedient in the future, I can reward you with some broth."

Benson didn't care about Captain Hadley's arrival. After all, with Mr. Norton on board, what they could do was nothing more than the warden's commission again.

It's just a little strange that the warden didn't show up by himself, and called the small fish like Rhett over so much.

Byron didn't miss this sentence, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and thought: "It's easy, I don't ask myself."

Even if he is the captain of the guard who is ready to resign, Byron also knows that ordinary tobacco is not worth snatching and monopolizing by these skillful sellers.

The author has something to say:

"Prisoner's Dilemma" is a theory formulated by the Rand Corporation of the United States in 1950.

Two people who conspired in a crime were put in prison and could not communicate with each other

If neither denounces the other, each is jailed for one year due to uncertain evidence;

If one person denounces and the other remains silent, the whistleblower will be released immediately because of his meritorious deeds.

The Silent gets [-] years in prison for non-cooperation;

If they expose each other, both of them will be sentenced to eight years in prison because of the solid evidence.

Since prisoners cannot trust each other, they tend to expose each other rather than keep silent

The game model that eventually leads to the Nash equilibrium only falling on the non-cooperative point

A Typical Case of Individual Rational Choices Leading to Collective Irrationality

About the numbers involved in the text

Except for the fictional characters Benson and Claude's is my mustache

Others refer to the prison uniform in the movie. If there is any error, everyone is welcome to help catch the bug

Byron didn't go to see Andy, on the one hand, he was anxious to deal with the "tobacco" business

On the other hand, he still doesn't know how to explain this...

Andy: I ​​see you as a buddy, but you want to be a father? ? ?Shocked.jpg

Byron: No, no, I'm dizzy and blind, I got the wrong person! ! !cute.jpg

If it develops according to the routine of the small theater, it will be said.

But whether in terms of character or identity, Andy is unlikely to ask

Byron naturally didn't say anything (wait for another two days, he might not be able to hold back anymore)

As for the boss Reid whose real name is Alice (Alice 2333)

According to the movie script, he should have engaged in special tobacco transactions...

However, the author Jun Mogai made him reform quickly

Regarding the Sister Gang, I am more inclined to dispose of them in accordance with the law

(Anyway, the rules are not up to me, heh)

Instead of letting Byron use violence, after all, it is so easy to slap your face

The author spent a long time compiling it to allow Shawshank to have a group of civilized and law-enforced prison guards.
