He faces much abuse in the film, especially during his early years in prison, but manages to never become too injured. Without the library, Andy would have never learned the truth about his case - if he hadn't, he might never have escaped Shawshank. This finally convinces Andy to make his escape from Shawshank, so he can take the warden's laundered money and finally expose him for his crimes. Andy tries to take this up with the warden, who has Tommy killed so that the truth can never be found out. While running the library, Andy comes into contact with a new inmate, Tommy Williams (Gil Bellows), who eventually helps Andy realize the identity of his wife's true killer. While Andy uses the library to help educate the other inmates, including helping some get their GEDs, it also ultimately serves a much more important purpose as the catalyst for Andy's escape. After getting $200 and a few boxes of books, Andy ups his letters to bi-weekly, which prompts the state legislature to eventually give him real funding to create and maintain his library. Red breaks his parole and illegally leaves the state, where he reunites with Andy on the beach, finally full of hope.Īndy sees the poor nature of the library, and he begins writing weekly letters to his local congressmen to try and procure funds to rebuild it. Red finally makes it to Buxton, where he finds a case filled with money asking him to join Andy in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. Struggling to adapt to the outside and bitter over his time in prison, the only thing that keeps Red going is the thought of traveling to Buxton to retrieve Andy's mysterious package. Years after Andy's escape, Red is finally granted parole after four decades behind bars.
He also submits evidence of both the warden and the guards' illegal activities at Shawshank, which leads to several arrests and the warden's death by suicide. Attempts to capture him are fruitless, and Andy is able to steal much of the money he had laundered for the warden. After going on an angry tirade in Andy's cell, the warden realizes the existence of a secret tunnel that Andy had dug through the wall.
Instead of being dead, Andy is missing entirely - seemingly gone without a trace.
