00:00Just imagine, you're framed for a crime you didn't commit and sent to the world's most dangerous
00:05prison. The story begins in 1931 in Paris, where a clever man named Papillon lived. He was an
00:11expert at opening any lock. One day, after a robbery, Papillon handed the stolen diamonds
00:16to his boss. The boss suspiciously asked if Papillon had kept any diamonds for himself.
00:21Papillon denied it completely. But then, the boss showed him a man who was badly beaten
00:26and threatened Papillon, saying, if you lie to me, you'll end up like this. Papillon said nothing.
00:32Later, he went to his girlfriend Nanette and gifted her a necklace made from the diamonds he had
00:36secretly kept. At that moment, a man saw the necklace in Nanette's hand secretly. Papillon and Nanette
00:42spent the night together, and she urged him to leave this life of crime. Papillon dreamed of
00:47building a small house far away with her. However, their dreams were crushed the next morning when the
00:52police raided their home. They accused Papillon of murdering the same man who was beaten by his boss.
00:57The police arrested him, and Papillon realized there was no use trying to explain himself.
01:02They wouldn't believe him. His only option was to escape from prison. In jail, Papillon met another
01:07prisoner named Jullo. Jullo told him, you'll need a lot of money to escape from here. Then, Jullo pointed
01:12to another prisoner named Dega and said, he can help you. Dega was a wealthy man, but had been caught
01:17making counterfeit money. Soon after, all the prisoners were transported to a place called the
01:22Penal Colony by boat. On the journey, Papillon approached Dega and said, I can protect you in
01:27prison if you give me money. But Dega refused the offer. That night, a prisoner sleeping next to Dega
01:33was brutally murdered. The man had hidden money in his stomach, and someone killed him to steal it.
01:38This terrified Dega. The next morning, shaken by fear, Dega agreed to Papillon's offer. However,
01:43he was not interested in escaping because he believed his wife would eventually get him out
01:47legally. That night, the same killer who murdered the other prisoner came to kill Dega. Just as the
01:52man was about to strike, Papillon intervened and saved Dega's life, beating the attacker. However,
01:57the guards discovered the fight and punished Papillon harshly. The next morning, the prisoners arrived at
02:03the Penal Colony. Jullo, desperate to escape, injured himself on purpose so he could be sent to the
02:08clinic, which had less security. He planned to escape from there. Meanwhile, the new prisoners were
02:13brought into the main jail, which was full of dangerous criminals. The warden there was equally
02:18ruthless. He told the new arrivals, escaping from here is impossible. Don't even try, it'll be better
02:24for your health. He warned them of the consequences. If you try to escape, you'll be sent to two years
02:29in the torture chamber. If you're caught a second time, it'll be three years. But if you try a third
02:34time, you'll be sent to Devil's Island, where everyone goes mad. If you commit murder, your head will be
02:40chopped off in front of everyone. The prisoners were given heavy labor jobs, such as lifting
02:44stones. After a few days, Papillon met a boatman who could help him escape. The boatman told Papillon
02:50to meet him by the riverside the following night. However, a dangerous prisoner overheard the plan
02:55and betrayed Dega for money. Papillon managed to handle the situation and saved himself. Dega saw
03:01everything and realized that without Papillon, he wouldn't survive even a day in this prison.
03:05Left with no other option, Dega decided to join Papillon in his escape plan. The next morning,
03:11all the prisoners were gathered in the field. It was revealed that Julot had killed two guards
03:15during his escape attempt. Within moments, Julot's head was severed from his body, and he was executed.
03:21Seeing this horrifying scene, all the prisoners were terrified. The warden then ordered Papillon and
03:26Dega to carry Julot's body to the crematorium. On the way, Dega suddenly started vomiting,
03:31as he had never seen a dead body before. Despite his discomfort, there was no relief for him. A guard
03:36approached and ordered Dega to lift the body, but when Dega refused, the guard began beating him
03:41brutally. Papillon could not bear to see his friend being tortured, so in a fit of rage, he picked up a
03:46stone and struck the guard on the head. After this, Papillon ran away, but poor Dega was paralyzed
03:52with fear and couldn't even move. Later that night, Papillon approached the boatman who had promised to
03:57help him escape. However, as Papillon requested the boat, the man suddenly burst into loud laughter.
04:02Papillon turned around and realized he had been surrounded by guards. It was then revealed that
04:07the boatman was secretly working for the warden, providing information about escape plans in exchange
04:12for money. Papillon was brought back to the prison, where the warden informed him that the guard he had
04:17hit with the stone had survived. Therefore, Papillon wouldn't face the death penalty. However, he was
04:23punished for his escape attempt, and sentenced to time in the dreaded torture chamber on another
04:27island. In this chamber, Papillon was confined to a small dark cell, where he wasn't allowed to make
04:33any noise, not even talk to himself. If he broke this rule, he would face additional punishment.
04:39His meals consisted of a thin, nearly inedible soup, and the isolation was unbearable. One day,
04:45he unexpectedly found a coconut in his food. Inside the coconut was a piece of paper with a message
04:50saying he would continue to receive coconuts daily. Papillon quickly realized that these were
04:55being sent by Dega, who was secretly trying to help him. For a month, Papillon survived on the
05:00coconuts. However, the warden eventually discovered this. He demanded Papillon reveal who was sending
05:06him the coconuts, but Papillon refused to speak. Furious, the warden sentenced him to serve the remainder
05:11of his punishment in complete darkness. Now, Papillon was plunged into total isolation. He couldn't see
05:17anything around him, and the oppressive silence and hunger began to take a toll on his mind and body.
05:23Over time, his condition worsened. The loneliness and lack of food made him so weak that he could
05:27barely move. His mental health started deteriorating rapidly. Eventually, Papillon became so frail that he
05:34had to be transferred to the hospital for treatment. Coincidentally, Dega had earned the warden's trust over
05:39the past year, and was now working within the jail. One day, Dega visited Papillon in the hospital and
05:44discovered something surprising. Papillon had been pretending to be mentally unstable. He knew that
05:49faking madness would eventually get him out of solitary confinement, and back into the main prison.
05:54Once reunited, Papillon and Dega began planning another escape. This time, they decided to include
05:59two other prisoners in their plan. Papillon chose a strong prisoner named Cilier, while Dega selected
06:05Maturette, a timid prisoner who was often bullied by others. Dega gave all his money to Cilier, who used it
06:10to buy a boat. The following night, while the prisoners were being shown a movie, the four of
06:15them decided to execute their escape plan. As part of the plan, Dega approached the officers who were
06:20watching the movie and offered them alcohol. He had cleverly mixed a drug into the drinks and waited
06:24for the right moment to steal the key to the main door. Meanwhile, Papillon and the other two,
06:29Cilier and Maturette, waited anxiously. Suddenly, it began raining, and the lights went out.
06:34Seeing the opportunity, Cilier suggested they run immediately. However, Papillon refused to leave
06:40without Dega. Just in time, Dega arrived with the keys. Taking advantage of the darkness,
06:45they unlocked the main door and escaped from the jail. While running, they reached the end of the
06:49path, and the only way forward was to jump down to the riverbank. Papillon, Cilier, and Maturette
06:54jumped without hesitation. But when Dega was about to jump, the lights suddenly came back on.
06:59Overwhelmed with fear, Dega lost his balance and fell, injuring himself badly. He couldn't walk
07:04anymore. Cilier insisted they leave Dega behind, but Papillon refused. With Maturette's help,
07:09they carried Dega to the riverbank, where the boat was waiting for them. Without wasting any time,
07:14all four got into the boat and disappeared into the darkness. After a few hours at sea,
07:19dawn broke, and Cilier realized they hadn't made much progress. He calculated that the boat was too
07:24small to carry the weight of all four of them. And to make matters worse, a fierce storm was
07:28approaching. With time running out, Cilier suddenly pushed Maturette into the sea. He then turned towards
07:33Dega, intending to do the same. However, Papillon intervened, and a brutal fight broke out between the
07:39two. Cilier, being incredibly strong, nearly overpowered Papillon, but just as he was about
07:44to kill him, Dega mustered his strength and stabbed Cilier from behind, killing him. They threw Cilier's
07:50body into the sea and managed to pull Maturette back onto the boat. Moments later, the storm arrived,
07:56and the sea turned chaotic. Darkness surrounded them, and they lost control of the boat. When they
08:01regained consciousness, they found themselves on an unfamiliar island. Some locals had spotted them
08:06floating in the sea and saved their lives. A nun approached Papillon and informed him that they
08:10were in Colombia. Papillon immediately turned to Dega and suggested they leave the island as soon as
08:15possible to avoid being captured again. But Dega, exhausted from all the running and hardships,
08:20declared, If you want to go, you can go. The deal is over. He had had enough of the endless escape
08:25attempts, and now wanted to settle down and live peacefully in one place. Papillon then went to
08:30Maturette to convince him to escape together. But Maturette had become infatuated with the women of the
08:35island, and had no interest in leaving. Realizing that neither of his companions wanted to leave,
08:40Papillon decided to escape on his own. However, as he was preparing to leave, he suddenly spotted
08:46officers approaching. It became clear that the clever nun had betrayed them and informed the police.
08:50Papillon quickly ran back to warn Dega, but it was too late. The officers caught them both,
08:55and during the chaos, Maturette was captured and tragically shot dead. Papillon and Dega were sent back
09:01to prison. After five long years, Papillon had served his punishment in the torture cell,
09:07and was transferred to the infamous Devil's Island. Upon his arrival, he was shocked to see Dega there
09:11as well. It turned out that the officers had discovered Dega's role in drugging them, and he
09:16had been sent to Devil's Island long before Papillon. The two friends were overjoyed to reunite after five
09:21years. That evening, as they sat by the seashore, Papillon shared his new plan with Dega. He proposed
09:27building a small raft using coconuts, believing that the ocean's waves could carry him to the
09:32other shore, but Dega was hesitant. He looked at Papillon and said,
09:36Brother, do whatever you want, but leave me out of it. Dega explained that he had been living
09:40peacefully on the island for the last five years, and had no desire to leave. His wife had remarried,
09:46and he no longer had anything to return to. Despite this, Dega still decided to help Papillon build the
09:51coconut raft. On the morning of the escape, the two friends hugged each other tightly and said their
09:56goodbyes. Papillon threw the raft into the sea, jumped onto it, and began his journey. By sheer
10:02luck, the plan worked, and the ocean waves carried him toward the distant shore. As Papillon drifted
10:07away, tears welled up in Dega's eyes as he watched his friend leave. And with that, Papillon's incredible
10:13journey came to a close. If you enjoyed this story, don't forget to like the video and subscribe
