Because to this day, no one knows if those men ever made it or not.

These three men were the only ones to ever successfully escape from Alcatraz.

And David Macmillan is still the only Westerner to successfully escape his prison.

The infamous Klong Prem Prison, also known as the Bangkok Hilton.

Welcome to Wanted.

So in our previous episode, David had just been told by his lawyer that things weren't good.

It was all over.

He was to be executed in two weeks.

At this point, David had been an unwitting guest of the Bangkok Hilton for a couple of years and had spent that time scavenging for things that would be useful to him for his big departure.

The one thing he didn't have was hacksaw blades.

He could, of course, go to the machine shop within the prison and pay another inmate for the blades.

But he says that he would be instantly ratted on and it would be straight to the punishment wing.

So instead, he has them delivered.

Okay, you heard him.

What would you do?

How would you ensure that guard looks no further?

What would you place in that box that he will see as soon as he opens it that will make him stop his search?

As mentioned previously, David had to get himself into a quieter cell.

Most of these cells would usually hold around 14 men, which was just far too many people.

One or more would certainly sound the alarm.
