An episode "24" with Dennis Hopper as Victor Drazen and very violent scene

I was thinking it is only episode from action TV series and I am almost sure that it isn’t “Prison Break” or “Oz”. There is a possibility that my brain is mixing two or more movies, but I’m looking for my scene again. It isn’t nothing from typical prison series or movies, definitely (I checked every popular movie or an episode in IMDB search engine). I watched between 2000 and 2003 max and I am sure that it is my “mistake” because it isn’t any “prison” movie and I’m not right.

First “prisoner” is released by a tough guy (he is a tall and well-built man, probably long haired) , because a moment earlier the “warden” told him: “You are free to go”. It’s a similar scene to Tommy Williams “The Shawshank Redemption”, but it isn’t. Then, a man walks down a long prison corridor/hallway. The same 'warden" shoots him in the back (the man was totally not expecting it) and kills him with one shot. He then says to the other “prisoner” (similar to Ray Liotta I think): “You’re going to get tired” or “You will suffer”.

I got an answer from user cary_granite that it could be “24” tv series - season 1. “Something very similar happens in an episode of 24, season 1. Dennis Hopper with an East European accent plays the “warden.” (Actually a colonel or general for some rogue military unit.) He shoots the first guy after saying he’s free, then makes a threat to the second guy. I don’t know what episode it takes place in.”

Is it possible?

Dennis Hopper does indeed portray Victor Drazen in "24" throughout 5 episodes, S01E21-S01E24 8:00 PM - 12:00 AM. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285331/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cl_sm However, only S01E21 has a scene in a tunnel, but as caspir said, no "free to go" and Victor Drazen doesn't do any shooting. Andre Drazen shoots one man in the back, Lou Diamond Phillips, but no quips.

Exactly. One of Jack Bauer's men, played by Lou Diamond Phillips, gets shot in the back, but the shooting occurs at point blank range. Dennis Hopper does not play a warden, he is a prisoner of sort, he does not shoot anybody, there are no two prisoners, no walking down a long prison corridor and getting shot in the back, no warden who talks to two prisoners. So, as I said, the scenes with Dennis Hopper, that are set in this facility, are not similar to the question at all.

Season 1, Episode 21?

UPDATE (March 21): Hey, wositelec, I downloaded the “24” episode in question, Season 1, Episode 21, and I watched all those scenes in which Dennis Hopper is, but none of the scenes plays out as you described in your question at all, so I do not think this is the movie/episode you are looking for.
Based on the IMDb keywords for the other four episodes which Dennis Hopper is in, those other four episodes do not fit the bill.

I have not seen this episode, but Dennis Hopper is in the episode and someone gets shot in the back. There is a secret detention center, jail cell and prisoner in this episode. Dennis Hopper is only in 5 episodes of “24”, and this is the only episode from those five that fits your description.

I think that I have to risk and buy a whole Season 1, because it could be one from 24 episodes.

OK, thank you. It is very strange situation, because I am sure that it could be something similar or other episode. It isn't a prison episode, but military unit probably. And I am sure that it was very modern "prison" military unit, something like at least mid 90's setting or newer, but it isn't newer than 2003.

It looks very similar - setting and other, I have to check: https://24.fandom.com/wiki/Victor_Drazen

As I said, I have watched the scenes in the episode, and they do not have any resemblance to your description in the question. If your description of the scene in your question is correct, if your details are correct, then the events in which Dennis Hopper is involved in this episode are not similar at all to your description. But go ahead, check it, see it for yourself.

In your previous post (Violent prison, long corridor, sadistic guard - movie or an episode from USA), you mention it could be Quincy M.E.
I skimmed through the episode here: Quincy, M. E. Season 5 : TVSTAR : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
Couldn’t find the scene you’re looking for.

OK, thank you. I think that it is an episode from 90's or early 2000's (it isn't newer than 2003 max). It wasn't prison probably, because it was "more modern" than Alcatraz style setting or something connected with typical prisons.

You could look at this list (70 items). https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?keywords=shot-in-the-back,prison&explore=keywords&title_type=feature,tv_miniseries,tv_movie,tv_episode,tv_series&release_date=1990-01-01,2003-12-31&languages=en&sort=release_date,desc

If you choose "Grid view" the covers become bigger and maybe you'll see something on one of the pictures that will remind you what you're looking for.

You could also try popmystick.com with "you're free to go". You can limit the search to 1990-2003 and pick a genre etc, something might come up.

Thanks. It is an episode from "JAG", probably. But it is very hard to find, because it is very "foggy" memory.
