    -Can we see the president's cell?
    -Yes. Yes, of course.
  • 0:05 - 0:08
    Lord. Can you believe this?
  • 0:09 - 0:13
    Now. The number on the door. 46664...
  • 0:13 - 0:18
    ...means he was the 466th prisoner
    to be interned here in 1964.
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    We've done it up just the way it was.
  • 0:29 - 0:30
    Come with me.
  • 1:08 - 1:11
    Out of the night that covers me,
  • 1:12 - 1:14
    Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
  • 1:16 - 1:19
    l thank whatever gods may be
  • 1:19 - 1:22
    For my unconquerable soul.
  • 1:23 - 1:25
    In the fell clutch of circumstance
  • 1:27 - 1:31
    l have not winced nor cried aloud.
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    Under the bludgeoning of fate
  • 1:35 - 1:39
    My head is bloody, but unbowed.
  • 1:40 - 1:44
    Beyond this place of wrath and tears
  • 1:45 - 1:48
    Looms but the Horror of the shade
  • 1:53 - 1:56
    And yet the menace of the years
  • 1:56 - 2:03
    Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
  • 2:05 - 2:08
    It matters not how strait the gate,
  • 2:09 - 2:11
    How charged with punishment the scroll,
  • 2:12 - 2:15
    l am the master of my fate:
  • 2:17 - 2:20
    l am the captain of my soul.
