♪ ♪

- Some big high roller
once said,

"The business of America
is business."

And I'm happy to report,

the criminal justice
business is booming.

With heavy industry
headed south,

small towns are battling
for state contracts

to build
correctional facilities.

Who'd have thunk it?

Nice, upstanding citizens

begging to have rapists,
drug dealers and murderers

right in their
own backyard.

- How's your brother?

- The doctor said he's fully
recovered from the overdose.

They're gonna keep him
in the hospital overnight

for observation,
but Cyril's gonna be fine.

- Praise, Allah.

- Hey, O'Reilly.

Sorry to hear about
your girlfriend.

- Who's his girlfriend,
Adebisi?

- Dr. Nathan.

Yeah, she took
a leave of absence.

Apparently, she almost
choked to death

when our boy Ryan, here,
came in her mouth.

- Fuck you!

[all clamoring]

Bring it on!

- Fuck you!

[indistinct shouting]

- What the fuck are
you cuffing me for?

I didn't start shit!

- Shut your fucking face,
O'Reilly!

- Eat me,
you goddamned clit!

- I'll take this one.

- Fuck you!

Are you crazy?
Goddamn it, fuck!

- Just stay down,
stay the fuck down!

- Blow me.

- Again?
- Yeah.

Oh, fuck.

[buzzer blares]

- Rabbi.

So, feeling better?

- A dead man needs
to cover all his options.

- You sure
you're a dead man?

- Mr. Querns,

sometime after you send me
back to Em City,

a day, a week, maybe,

O'Reilly will have
found a way to kill me.

- I like you,
Stanislofsky.

I don't know why,
but I do.

I can let you stay up here
for a few more days.

- What good is going
to come of that?

Death is inevitable.

- Not necessarily.

I plan to have a little talk
with your old pal,

Ryan O'Reilly.

- You know,

I'm trying to
eliminate violence from Em City.

- And doing an
amazing job, sir.

- Cut the crap!

When Stanislofsky returns,

if anything happens to him,
I mean, anything--

he cuts himself shaving,

I'm holding
you responsible.

- Hoyt's got the hots
for Stanislofsky, not me.

- I don't care,
you're responsible.

Understand?

- Uh-huh.

If Nikolai gets hurt when
he gets back to Em City,

my ass is grass.

- Right, now get lost.

- Claire?
- Yeah?

- Baby?
- Yeah?

- Hey, how much
do you love me?

- Oh, plenty.

- Yeah?
Enough to do anything I ask?

- Yeah.

- That a girl.

- [sensual moaning]

[knocking at door]

- Cyril, hey!

How you doin', huh?

You okay?
You feeling better?

- Yes.
- Good.

- O'Reilly?
- Mm-hmm.

- That certain someone
you asked me to inquire about?

- Yeah.

- He's coming back
to Em City tomorrow.

- Stay right there.

Shit.

- Ready for this?

He asked Querns
for a favor.

- What?

- He wants
to take a bath.

- There's no
bathtubs in Oz.

- Hospital therapy room.

- [chuckles]
That's perfect.

You know what to do,
right?

- I'm here to pick up
Stanislofsky.

Thanks.

You almost done?

- Five minutes, please.
I'm enjoying myself.

- I'll bet I can help you
enjoy yourself even more.

- Ah, that's good.

[speaks Russian]

[grunting and panting]

- How's that?

- It was never
like this in Gulag.

- You men are all alike.

So quick,
so easily satisfied.

Most of you don't know dick
about making a woman happy.

- [chuckles]

- Ryan O'Reilly does.
- Oh, really?

- Here's a small token
of his affection.

- What is this?

- A rubber duckie.

- Rubber duckie?

[percussive tones]

[buzzer sounds]

- Judge Fee has
denied our appeal.

- Shit.

Shit, shit, shit!

- Is there a problem?

- He's fine, officer.
We're fine.

- So, what's next?

- We go to
the State Supreme Court

and appeal the appellate
court's decision.

- How long is
that gonna take?

- Given the court's
current caseload,

I'd say
at least a year.

- A year?

Dawn, I can't sit up
on death row another day,

much less a fucking year!

- I didn't create
the system, Moses.

I just wallow in it.

- Can't you drop some
speed on the process?

- I don't even know if
they're going to hear our case.

Chief Justice Ginther,

who was appointed
by James Devlin,

tends to turn a deaf ear

to anything he considers
soft on crime.

- So, what you're saying
is I'm fucked?

- What I'm saying is
time may be on our side.

Rumor is Ginther's
got prostate cancer.

He dies, retires,

a new chief might look at
the death penalty differently.

- And meanwhile?

- Meanwhile, you're alive
for at least another year.

Make the best
of a bad situation.

- Hey, Deyell,

you know how I'm always
calling you "black boy"?

Well, while you were downstairs
with your legal beagle,

I thought, "Shit,
there's a whole bunch

of other names
I can use."

"Nigger,"
of course.

Or "coon,"

"jigaboo,"

"spear chucker,"

"schwatza,"

"mulonian."

But I settled
on "Negro."

Neeee-gro!

It's got a kind of simplicity.

Negro is the Spanish
word for blacks, a Negro.

Negro.//

I'm here about Beecher.

The man is
dying inside.

- Well, that's

I'm asking you for your

The two of you

You had

We fucked each

loved each other.

Now, I know that
is all over now.

You murdered my son!

it started in brutality

Love was

Father?

Where do you live?

- In a rectory
at St. Margaret's.

- A rectory, only men
live there, right?

- Yeah.

- You share common
experiences,

a common belief.

You accept each other's
eccentricities, flaws.

Some flaws are
unacceptable,

like, say, one priest
wants to fuck another.

- Oh, Keller!
- You said, "Hear me out."

I mean, I'm just asking
for the same courtesy.

- Okay.

- Unless, of course,
I'm hitting too close to home.

You never have,
have you?

- What?

- Fucked a fellow priest.

- No.

- Ever wanted to?

- No.

- Oh, come on, you share
a bathroom together.

You walk in
and some seminarian's

tight little ass
is hanging out.

- Keller, I see
what you're up to.

- You want me to do
the honorable thing,

the selfless thing.

Say, "I'll help Beecher out."

Hey, Mukada,

we're in Oz.

And like I said,
other rules apply.

Now according to
the code we got here,

I'm not expected
to save Beecher.

Fuck, I'd be breaking
that code if I did.

- It only takes one man
to change the way things are.

- Yeah?

Well, I'm
not that man.

- Seven out of 10 inmates
are from cities,

but 90% of the prisons
themselves

are in rural areas.

You know, farmland,
hillsides, forests.

Now, you'd think such
bucolic surroundings

would have a calming effect
on those inside.

But no.

Out in the wild,

things only get wilder.

we have bad news.

- Bad news?
Gee, that's a change.

on the murdering

and the kidnapping charges.

- What?

You mean he's free?

- Yes.

Evidently, when
the arrest was made,

the police didn't do something
they were supposed to do

and the judge just
let Hank go free.

There's nothing
that can be done.

No.

hand in hand.

That's the end of
the fucking universe.

- Those census numbers
I was talking about,

they're also used
to determine election districts.

A senator from a white,
rural area with a prison,

can count the inmates
as his constitutes,

and, therefore, increase
his political influence.

Those inmates,
who are largely of color,

aren't allowed to vote.

The senator has
no allegiance to them at all.

In fact, he benefits
by voting for laws

to keep them
incarcerated longer.

The town benefits

by the increased
prison population.

Yeah.

Everybody benefits.

stop him and soon.

for stopping by so suddenly.

the matter?

Sweet Jesus, I don't know
my own son anymore.

I mean, with him giving
the inmate the gun

and then the African dress
and now...

It's like he's collected all
of his anger toward the world

and is pointing it
toward the governor.

hasn't been home in days.

you call me, okay?

In the meantime,
try not to worry, all right?
