THE POWER OF MUSIC.

WHETHER A CONCERTO
OR BALLAD OR RAP,

MUSIC STIMULATES US.

YEAH, IT STIMULATES US.

WILLY SHAKESPEARE SAID,

"IF MUSIC BE THE FOOD
OF LOVE, PLAY ON."

HEY !

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE HAVING
A FAREWELL CONVERSATION.

USE YOUR LIPS
FOR TALKING.

ASSHOLE.

YOU GIRLS
GOT ONE MINUTE.

HEY, ASSHOLE.

CHRIS, COME ON.

FORGET ABOUT HIM.

THERE'S A LOT I WANT
TO SAY BEFORE I GO.

LOOK, I'VE GOT
TO TELL YA,

I'M HAVING
A TOUGH TIME

WRAPPING MY HEAD
AROUND THE REALITY
OF YOU BEING PAROLED.

TRUST ME, I WON'T
FULLY COMPREHEND IT

UNTIL I'M SIPPING
MY FIRST MARTINI.

TOBY, I'M...

( bell ringing )

I'M...

WHAT ?

I'M GLAD...

YOU'RE FINALLY GOING TO GET SOME
TIME TO SPEND WITH YOUR KIDS.

COME ON.

WHAT'S REALLY
ON YOUR MIND ?

DON'T FORGET ME.

NEVER.

AND NOW THAT I'M OUT,

I'LL BE DOUBLING MY EFFORTS
TO OVERTURN YOUR DEATH SENTENCE.

I'M GOING TO SEE YOU
MORE THAN BEFORE.

EVEN SO, IF I DIE,
DON'T FORGET ME.

YOU ARE NOT
GOING TO DIE.

WHEN YOU SAY IT,
I ALMOST BELIEVE IT'S TRUE.

IT IS TRUE.

TIME.

TIME !

ASSHOLE.

CHRIS, DON'T !

HEY, YOU GOT
ANYTHING FOR ME ?

NOPE.

I LOVE MY ROSIE.

MARICON !

THANKS.

( knocking )

MAYOR LOEWEN.

VERNIE,

I WONDERED
WHEN YOU'D POP UP.

IT'S GREAT
TO SEE YOU, SIR.

IS THAT MAIL
FOR ME ?

OH, YES.

SO, ARE YOU COMFORTABLE,
GOT EVERYTHING YOU NEED ?

YEAH, MM-HMM.

YOU GAVE ME
QUITE A SCARE,

WELL, WHEN I HEARD YOU
ALMOST CHOCKED TO DEATH.

WHEN'S THE DOCTOR
RELEASING YOU ?

I GO BACK TO
UNIT "J" TOMORROW.

CHRIST.

SIR ?

ANOTHER HATE LETTER.

SOME NIGGER SAYS
I GOT OFF TOO EASY.

HE SAYS HE'S GOT A COUSIN
HERE IN OSWALD

WHO'S GONNA
AIRHOLE ME.

WHAT DOES
AIRHOLE MEAN ?

KILL.

BLACK BASTARD.

DON'T WORRY,
YOUR HONOR,

I'M NOT GONNA LET
ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOU.

OH, YEAH,
IS THAT RIGHT, HUH ?

WELL, FROM WHAT I HEAR
THE ARYANS IN OSWALD

ARE A SORRY BUNCH.

THAT GUY WHO SAVED ME
FROM CHOKING, BEECHER.

I HEAR YOU'VE BEEN
TRYING TO AIRHOLE HIM

FOR ABOUT SIX FUCKING YEARS
AND ALL YOU HAVE TO SHOW FOR IT

IS THAT LITTLE SCAR
ABOVE YOUR EYE THERE.

I DID HAVE HIS SON KILLED
AND HIS FATHER.

WHAT ARE YOU
AN IDIOT ?

SAYING SHIT
LIKE THAT OUT LOUD ?

YOU KNOW, VERNIE,
I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU

I NEVER THOUGHT YOU WERE
THE BRIGHTEST BULB

IN THE CHANDELIER.

YOU ALWAYS HAD THIS HUGE EGO
WITH NOTHING TO BACK IT UP.

YOU ALWAYS HAD THESE BIG PLANS
WITH NO BALLS BEHIND THEM.

SHIT.

IF IT WEREN'T
FOR YOUR DADDY,

I WOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN YOU
THE TIME OF FUCKING DAY.

YOU'RE AN EMBARRASSMENT
TO THE BROTHERHOOD.

I HAVE BALLS.

SPEAK UP, BOY,
I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

NOTHING, SIR.

( buzzer )

HOW'D YOUR MEETING
WITH THE MAYOR GO ?

FUCK HIM.

WELL, IT'S BEEN
NICE KNOWING YOU.

YOU, TOO, YOOD.

YOU, TOO, YOOD ?

( laughing )

WELL, YOU'RE IN
SUCH A CHEERY MOOD

I'M NOT SURE IF
I SHOULD BURDEN YOU

WITH THE LITTLE INFO
I JUST LEARNED.

I KNOW WHO KILLED
YOUR FATHER.

WHO ?

FRANKLIN WINTHROP

ON ORDERS FROM
VERN SCHILLINGER.

I KNEW IT.

FUCK.

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT
WANT THE FACTS NOW

IN CASE YOU DECIDE TO DO
SOMETHING BEFORE YOU LEAVE.

LIKE WHAT ?

SCHILLINGER MURDERED
YOUR FATHER.

WILSON LOEWEN'S LIKE
A FATHER TO SCHILLINGER.

TOOTH FOR TOOTH TIME.

SO, I SAID, "RONNIE, YOU TELL
NANCY TO KEEP HER PANTIES ON."

( laughing )

AND DID HE ?

HELL, NO, WHEN IT
CAME TO THAT WOMAN,

THE GREAT COMMUNICATOR
HAD NO VOICE AT ALL.

THIS HAS BEEN
ENJOYABLE, MAYOR,

BUT I HAVE A MEETING
OVER AT LARDNER.

YEAH, I HAVE
TO RUN AS WELL.

JIMMY, COULD YOU STAY
JUST TWO MORE MINUTES ?

AH, YEAH.

I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN.

OH, I HOPE SO,
DARLIN'.

YOU FUCKING
COCKSUCKER.

YOU SWORE TO ME THAT YOU WOULD
NEVER LET ME SERVE A DAY...

WILSON, THEY WERE
BURNING DOWN THE CITY.

CORRECTION !

THEY WERE BURNING
DOWN THEIR CITY,

THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD,
THEIR BUSINESSES.

THE VIOLENCE WAS
ESCALATING, SPREADING--

SO, YOU SEND IN
THE NATIONAL GUARD,

TEAR GAS, RUBBER BULLETS.

WHAT YOU DON'T DO IS
BETRAY A LIFELONG FRIEND.

WHAT YOU DON'T DO
IS HUMILIATE A MAN,

ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT MAN KNOWS
WHERE THE BODIES ARE BURIED.

I WANT MY PARDON, JIMMY,
AND I WANT IT FUCKING TODAY.

I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND
ANOTHER NIGHT IN THIS CESSPOOL.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME ?

I DON'T CARE WHAT KIND OF
POLITICAL TYPHOON IT CAUSES.

IF YOU DON'T
GIVE ME MY PARDON,

I WILL CALL A PRESS CONFERENCE
AND I WILL TELL TALES, JIMMY,

TALES OF CORRUPTION,
TALES OF GRAFT,

TALES OF VOTER FRAUD.

BY THE TIME I'M FINISHED, YOU'LL
BE SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO ME

IN UNIT "J" PLAYING
PAR-FUCKING-CHEESI.

ALRIGHT.

I'LL FIGURE OUT A WAY.

YEAH, YOU ALWAYS DO, JIMMY,
THAT'S WHY YOU'RE MY BOY.

PERRY,

THERE'S SOMETHING
I WANT YOU TO DO,

SOMETHING THAT REQUIRES
ENORMOUS DISCRETION.

( buzzer )

SO, HERE WE ARE.

YES.

BUT I'M NOT SAYING GOODBYE
BECAUSE THIS IS NOT GOODBYE.

MY DAD'S LAW PARTNERS,
IN HIS MEMORY,

HAVE DECIDED TO DO PRO BONO WORK
FOR THE PRISONERS.

EVEN THOUGH
I'VE BEEN DISBARRED,

I'M GOING TO COORDINATE
THE OFFICE.

THAT'S GREAT.

I'M GLAD, TOBIAS.

I'M GLAD THAT SOME GOOD
WILL COME OUT OF

ALL THE SADNESS
YOU'VE SUFFERED.

I WANT TO THANK YOU BOTH
FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE.

THANK YOU.

I'LL SEE YOU
TOMORROW.

TOBIAS, DO NOT
COME BACK TOMORROW.

BE WITH YOUR FAMILY.

TAKE THE TIME TO PLAY
WITH YOUR CHILDREN.

AND COMFORT MY MOTHER.

I PROMISE YOU, BEECHER,

I WILL FIND
WHO KILLED YOUR FATHER.

YEAH, UH-HUH.

HEY, BEECHER,
SIGN HERE.

( bell ringing )

OKAY.

YOU'RE FREE TO GO.

FREE TO GO.

FREE.

FREE.

BE WELL.

( Augustus Hill )
"ONE GOOD THING ABOUT MUSIC,
WHEN IT HITS YOU FEEL NO PAIN.

SO HIT ME WITH MUSIC."

BOB MARLEY.

( screaming )

WILSON LOEWEN
IS DEAD.

OH.

WELL...

OH, WELL.

OH.

WELL.

IT AMAZES ME SOME OF THE BOOKS
THE PRISONERS READ.

I MEAN,
HENRY JAMES ?

THEY HAD TO FORCE-FEED ME
JAMES IN COLLEGE.

I, TOO THOUGHT IT ODD THAT
PABLO ROSA WOULD WANT TO BORROW

"THE AMBASSADORS."

HE'S 18,

IN FOR MURDERING
A CLASSMATE.

NICE TO KNOW
HE'S EXPANDING HIS HORIZONS.

TURN THE BOOK OVER.

IS THAT BLOOD ?

HE CLUBBED
HIS CELLMATE WITH IT.

PABLO ROSA, HUH ?

WHAT CELL BLOCK'S
HE IN ?

WHY ?

I KNOW YOU WANT
TO HELP PEOPLE,

BUT YOU CAN'T
REACH A KID LIKE THAT.

WHICH IS EXACTLY
WHY I SHOULD TRY.

DOESN'T YOUR BOYFRIEND WORRY,
YOU COMING IN HERE EVERY DAY ?

IS THAT YOUR NOT-SO-SUBTLE WAY
OF ASKING IF I'M "INVOLVED" ?

YES.

WELL, ROBERT,

TO ME,

MEN ARE LIKE BOOKS.

SOMETIMES I WANT
A ROMANCE,

SOMETIMES A THRILLER,

SOMETIMES MAYBE A TRASHY NOVEL
TO TAKE TO THE BEACH.

AND SOMETIMES,

I WANT A CLASSIC.

BUT WHEN I FINISH,

IT'S BACK ON THE SHELVES
AND ON TO THE NEXT.

YOU'VE NEVER
BEEN MARRIED.

OH, NO.

THEN MAYBE
YOU'RE READING TOO FAST.

I'M VORACIOUS.

( screaming )

PRISONER NUMBER
0-2-R-1-0-4,

PABLO ROSA,

CONVICTED
DECEMBER 22nd, 2002,

INVOLUNTARY
MANSLAUGHTER.

SENTENCE 18 YEARS,

UP FOR PAROLE IN 10.

PABLO ?

COME ON IN.

( bell ringing )

WHAT DO YOU WANT ?

I'VE BEEN READING
THROUGH YOUR RECORDS.

YOU'RE 18, WITH 18 YEARS
LEFT ON YOUR SENTENCE.

I GET PAROLE IN 10.

OKAY.

SO, HOW DO YOU WANT
TO SPEND THAT TIME ?

FAST AS
FUCKING POSSIBLE.

THE THING IS, PABLO,
THAT'S NOT AN ANSWER,

ANY MORE THAN
THIS IS A WEAPON.

DID THE JOB PRETTY GOOD,
IF YOU ASK ME.

NOT THE JOB
IT WAS MEANT TO.

TELL ME,
CAN YOU READ ?

SURE.

DO YOU ENJOY IT ?

NO.

BOOKS ARE JUST
SHIT TEACHERS GIVE YOU.

SO, YOU DID
GO TO SCHOOL.

SOMETIMES.

BUT NOT ALWAYS,

BECAUSE YOU HATED THE SHIT
YOUR TEACHERS GAVE YOU, RIGHT ?

UH-HUH.

WELL, CAN'T EXPECT EVERYONE
TO ENJOY THE SAME THINGS,

SO, WHAT I'D LIKE US
TO DO IS

FIND A BOOK THAT'S
RIGHT FOR YOU.

WHY ?

BECAUSE WHEN WE DO,
IT'LL MAKE THE TIME FLY,

AND THAT'S
WHAT YOU WANT.

TELL ME SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT INTEREST YOU.

LIKE WHAT ?

LIKE PUSSY
AND BASEBALL ?

NOW, WE'RE COOKIN'.

HEY, REBADOW, HEARD
YOU WERE IN THE LIBRARY,

CHECKING OUT MORE
THAN JUST BOOKS.

I DON'T REALLY CARE TO DIGNIFY
THAT WITH A RESPONSE.

CHILL, MAN.

I'M JUST A LITTLE
JEALOUS, YOU KNOW ?

YOU GOT YOUR OLD LADY
ON PAYROLL, RIGHT ?

I CALL MINE TWICE.

SHE WON'T EVEN
SO MUCH AS FART MY WAY.

YOU AND BUSMALIS
SHOULD SWITCH PLACES.

HIS GIRL KEEPS SHOWING UP,
BUT HE WON'T SEE HER.

WELL, SHIT, LET ME KNOW
THE NEXT TIME SHE COMES BY.

SHIT, I'LL VISIT ANYTHING
IN A SKIRT, MAN.

NORMA'S HERE TODAY.

FOR SOME REASON,
SHE ASKED FOR ME.

WELL, SHIT,
SHARE THE LOVE.

SHARE THE LOVE.

DAMN !

YOU THINK I CAN CONVINCE
BUSMALIS TO VISIT WITH YOU,

BUT I CAN'T.

HE'S IMPENETRABLE.

OH, COME ON.

WE BOTH KNOW
AGAMEMNON.

WHAT LOOKS LIKE A WALL
IS ONLY AN INCH THICK

OVER THAT TENDER
LITTLE HEART OF HIS.

WELL, I'M NO
CARDIAC SURGEON.

I'M NOT SURE HOW TO
CUT THROUGH THE WALL.

SAY YOU SAW ME,

THAT I WAS CRYING.

BUT YOU'RE NOT.

BUT I DO,

EVERY DAY.

AND TELL HIM THIS,

I'LL SHOW UP
ONE LAST TIME.

IF HE DOESN'T COME,
EVEN JUST TO SAY FAREWELL,

THEN I SWEAR, HE'LL NEVER
HEAR FROM NORMA CLARK AGAIN.

OKAY.

BUT I CAN'T
PROMISE SUCCESS.

PLEASE, BOB.

DO YOUR BEST.

SEE ?

TEARS.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ?

YOU KNOW I HATE
PLAYING SOLITAIRE ALONE.

BLACK FOUR
ON THAT FIVE.

AND THIS IS WHY.

I JUST SAW NORMA.

WHAT, MY NORMA ?

AGAMEMNON,
CALM DOWN.

WENT BEHIND MY BACK.

IS THERE A REASON
EVERYONE'S TAKING HER SIDE ?

I'M OF THE MIND YOU'RE BOTH
ON THE SAME SIDE.

OH ?

AND WHAT ARE YOU,
DR. LOVE ?

AND WHAT'S LED YOU
TO SUCH A LEARNED DIAGNOSIS ?

FOR ONE, YOU CALLED HER
"MY NORMA".

YOU'VE GOT 12 YEARS
LEFT IN OZ.

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO SPEND
THAT TIME ANGRY AND DESOLATE ?

OH, WHAT DO YOU KNOW ?

YOU'RE BUSY MOONING
OVER THAT LIBRARIAN.

YES.

STELLA'S CONJURED UP
ALL SORTS OF FEELINGS IN ME,

REMINDING ME OF WHAT
I WAS LIKE WHEN I WAS YOUNG,

PASSIONATE
ABOUT ARCHITECTURE,

ABOUT BETTY.

I WAS ON THE VERGE OF
AN EXTRAORDINARY CAREER,

AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE.

BUT I'VE BEEN
ALONE 38 YEARS,

AND I'M JUST BEGINNING
TO MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME.

YOU, YOU'RE CHOOSING
TO LOSE THE TIME

YOU AND NORMA
HAVE TOGETHER.

RED QUEEN
ON THAT KING.

YEAH, YEAH,
I SEE IT.

LITTLE MAN, WHAT WAS
THAT BULLSHIT ?

YOU DIDN'T LIKE
"OF HUMAN BONDAGE" ?

I THOUGHT IT WAS
AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

IT'S ABOUT
SOME CRIPPLED KID.

THERE'S NO PICTURES,
EVEN.

SORRY.

UH...

HOW ABOUT "MACBETH" ?

THE STORY OF A BRUTAL
SCOTTISH WARLORD

WHO KILLS MERCILESSLY
TO GAIN POWER.

THEY'RE DOING
A PRODUCTION HERE.

HEY, SOUNDS ALRIGHT.

WELL, LADY MACBETH,
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR ?

GET ME
MY FUCKING BOOK, MAN.

HEY, DON'T FORGET
MY COOKIE.

HEY, ROBSON.

HEY, WHAT SHADE OF
LIPSTICK IS THAT, HUH ?

IS IT DICK-SUCK RED ?

YEAH, WE HEARD YOU'RE WORKING
RECEIVING AND DISCHARGE.

UH-OH.

FUCK YOU, PANCAMO.

I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT, PRAG.

THIS TIME, I'LL USE
MY BAD HAND TO BEAT YOU.

EVEN IT UP
A LITTLE.

BITCH !

( shouting )

( cheering )

I WAS ONLY
TALKING.

SINCE WHEN IS THAT
AGAINST THE RULES ?

SINCE RIGHT NOW.

SINCE RIGHT NOW.

HEY, WHAT DID
I JUST SAY ?

THIS IS THE PROBLEM,

YOU GOT ZERO
LISTENING ABILITY,

SO, FOCUS AND EITHER NOD
OR SHAKE YOUR HEAD, GOT IT ?

THAT'S A START.

SINCE REDDING PLANS
TO MOVE OVER TO TELEMARKETING,

I'M GIVING YOU
BACK THE KITCHEN.

KEEP IT EFFICIENT,

KEEP IT CLEAN,

KEEP IT HONEST.

AND IN RETURN
FOR MY GENEROSITY,

I WANT YOU TO STAY
THE FUCK AWAY FROM THE ARYANS.

GOT ME ?

NOW, THIS IS THE PART
WHERE YOU SAY THANKS.

THANKS.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

SO, WHAT'D YOU GIVE
THOSE NAZI FUCKS ?

AND NOW,
YOU SHUT UP AGAIN.

PSST, WHITE.

WHITE.

WHAT, MAN, WHAT ?

HOW YOU FEELING ?

BETTER, THANK GOD,
HOW ABOUT YOU ?

GOOD, NOT GREAT.

THEY TELL YOU
WHAT WE GOT ?

NAH, MAN, ONLY DRIBS
AND DRABS OF SHIT.

YEAH, ME, TOO.

HEY, IT CAN'T
BE THAT TERRIBLE

IF NATHAN SENT US OUT OF
THE HOSPITAL THAT QUICK.

I WANT
TO HEAR QUIET !

YO, WHEN'S MARTINEZ
COMING BACK ?

I DON'T KNOW.

DID THEY TELL YOU
WHAT'S AILING US YET ?

I DON'T KNOW !

AH, SEE ?

QUIET.

LET'S GIVE GANNON
10 MILLIGRAMS.

CARLOS MARTINEZ...

HE'S ONE NASTY MAN.

HIS LIVER IS
DETERIORATING RAPIDLY.

LET'S UP HIS
ALDACTONE 25 MILLIGRAMS.

MARTINEZ YOU LOOK
LIKE FUCKING HELL.

BRASS GIVING YOU GRIEF ?

ALWAYS, MAN,
ALWAYS.

LISTEN UP.

MORALES IS WORRIED
YOU'RE GOING TO TELL

BRASS THE TRUTH ABOUT
HOW IS ANKLE GOT CUT.

NO, I WOULD NEVER TELL,
I SWEAR ON MY LIFE.

THAT'S WHAT MORALES
HAD IN MIND.

HE WANTS ME
TO SHANK YOU.

I'M TOO WEAK
TO FIGHT, CHICO.

( Spanish )

GRACIAS, HERMANO.

STAY STRONG.

IS IT DONE ?

NO.

I TALKED
TO MARTINEZ.

HE'S NOT GONNA
JABBER ON YOU.

I TOLD YOU
TO KILL HIM.

THAT WAS AN ORDER.

HE'S A COMPADRE.

YOU WANT HIM
WHACKED ?

DO THE DEED
YOURSELF.

I WILL.

AND I WON'T
FUCKIN' FORGET THIS.

GRACE !

HE'S DEAD.

WHAT THE HELL
HAPPENED ?

WELL, I WAS IN THE OFFICE
FILLING OUT REPORT SHEETS.

I NEVER
HEARD HIM CODE.

HOW DO YOU NOT
HEAR THE CODE ?

WELL, I WAS BUSY.

WELL, NOW YOU'RE NOT.

YOU'RE FIRED.

CARLOS MARTINEZ
IS DEAD.

GODDAMN IT.

HE DIED BECAUSE WE,
YOU AND ME,

DIDN'T SEND HIM TO A REAL
HOSPITAL FOR PROPER CARE, LEO,

AND NOW HE'S DEAD.

GLORIA.

I HAVE TO DO AN AUTOPSY,
AND THIS TIME I AM NOT LYING.

I'M NOT COVERING
ANYTHING UP.

FULL DISCLOSURE.

DID YOU HEAR ME,
FULL FUCKING DISCLOSURE !

AH, JESUS.

( bell ringing )

I'M STILL NOT SURE
THIS IS THE BEST SOLUTION
TO THE PROBLEM.

ONCE THE STATE MEDICAL BOARD
REVIEWS NATHAN'S FINDINGS,

THE TRUTH WILL
COME OUT ANYWAY.

BUT SHOULDN'T YOU JUST WAIT
UNTIL THE AUTOPSY'S DONE ?

HE WHO CREATES
THE NEWS

HAS THE BEST CHANCE
OF CONTROLLING IT.

HERE'S TO
FULL DISCLOSURE.

THANK YOU
FOR COMING.

WE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT
TOXIC CHEMICAL ELEMENTS

RESIDING IN THE AIR DUCTS
THROUGHOUT SOLITARY CONFINEMENT

HAVE INFECTED
THREE INMATES,

AND SADLY YESTERDAY IT LEAD
TO THE DEATH OF ONE OF THEM,

CARLOS MARTINEZ.

( chattering )

I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY
FOR MARTINEZ'S DEATH.

GOOD MORNING,
MY BELOVEDS.

GOT A NEWS FLASH
FOR YOU.

YOUR PAL MARTINEZ
BOUGHT THE FARM.

FARM ?

WHAT FARM ?

HE DIED, STUPID.

WHAT'D HE DIE FROM ?

I DON'T KNOW,
BUT WHATEVER HE HAD,

YOU CLUCKS
HAVE IT, TOO.

ARE YOU SURE ?

THAT'S THE SHUTTLEBUTT.

SHIT.

IF I WERE YOU, I'D PAY UP
MY INSURANCE PREMIUMS.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT,
WAIT, WAIT, LOOK.

BUT BUYING A FARM IS
A GOOD THING, RIGHT ?

I-I-I MEAN,
WHY THAT--

TELL ME, WHY DOES
THAT HAVE TO MEAN DYING ?

SHUT UP, OMAR.

NO, LOOK, NOW THAT
DON'T MAKE NO SENSE.

SOLD THE FARM, LOST THE FARM,
THE FARM BURNED DOWN, BUT...

SHUT UP, OMAR !

THAT DON'T MAKE
NO GODDAMN SENSE.

HEY, SEAN.

SEAN, I'VE BEEN
LOOKING FOR YOU.

HERE I AM.

WANT TO GET
A BEER AFTER WORK ?

YEAH, AND I'M BUYING
TO CELEBRATE

THE DEATH OF THAT
SPIC MARTINEZ.

YEAH, I'M NOT
SHEDDING ANY TEARS,

BUT IT'S TOO BAD HE 10-7'D
BEFORE HE RATTED ON MORALES.

THAT'S THE BEAUTY PART,
PAL, HE DID.

YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN
VISITING MARTINEZ REGULAR,

ALWAYS AT HIM
TO TELL ME THE TRUTH.

WELL, HE MUST HAVE KNOWN
HE WAS GOING TO CROAK,

AND HE WANTED TO MAKE HIS PEACE,
'CAUSE LAST NIGHT HE SPILLED.

A DEATH BED
CONFESSION ?

YEAH.

MARTINEZ PINNED THE TAIL
ON MORALES' DONKEY ASS.

YOU'VE KNOWN THIS
SINCE LAST NIGHT

AND YOU DIDN'T SAY
ANYTHING UNTIL NOW ?

THAT'S WHY
I'M LOOKING FOR YA.

I WANT MORALES
IN SOLITARY ASAP.

ALRIGHT, COME ON.

TAKE THE CUFFS OFF.

WHAT THE FUCK
DO YOU WANT ?

WHAT IS THIS ?

HALF-TIME
ENTERTAINMENT.

YO, PENDERS, YOU THINK
MORALES IS GOING

TO GET HIS FARM
FORECLOSED ?

SHH, SHH, SHH.

MARTINEZ CUT ME
RIGHT HERE,

RUINED MY CHANCES OF
EVER PLAYING PRO BALL,

AND I HAVE THIS LIMP.

SO, YOU SEE, ENRIQUE,
IF I ONLY CUT THE ONE,

YOU'LL LIMP
LIKE I DO.

BUT IF I CUT THEM BOTH,

YOU'LL WALK FINE.

( screaming )

( laughing )

( screaming )

( sobbing )

I SEE THE DEVIL.

I SEE THE DEVIL
EVERYWHERE.

AND YOU SAY THIS
STARTED WHEN ?

THE MOMENT KIRK DIED.

IT WAS AS IF WHATEVER
POSSESSED HIM CAME INTO ME.

I'M GOING TO ASK
SISTER PETER MARIE

TO SCHEDULE A SESSION
WITH YOU, ALRIGHT ?

I'M NOT CRAZY,
FATHER.

I SEE THE DEVIL,

RIGHT OVER
YOUR SHOULDER.

( sobbing )

IT SOUNDS LIKE HE'S GOING FOR AN
INSANITY DEFENSE IN HIS APPEAL.

NO, HE KEEPS SAYING,
"I'M NOT CRAZY.

I'M NOT CRAZY."

DON'T GET ME WRONG,
I THINK THAT HE'S CRAZY,

BUT HE DOESN'T.

I'M NOT SURE THAT
HE HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN CRAZY,

THEREFORE, I'M NOT SURE
THAT HE SHOULD BE EXECUTED.

WOULD YOU
TALK TO HOYT ?

CERTAINLY.

BUT I HAVE TO ASK,

WHAT ARE YOU HOPING
TO GET OUT OF THIS ?

WHAT, ME PERSONALLY ?

NOTHING.
YEAH.

WAIT A MINUTE.

ARE YOU TRYING TO ASSUAGE
YOUR GUILT BY HELPING HOYT ?

YOU TOLD ME YOURSELF THAT YOU
PRAYED FOR TIMMY KIRK TO DIE.

YES, BUT I KNOW THAT GOD DOESN'T
ANSWER THOSE KINDS OF PRAYERS,

THAT HOYT ACTED
ON HIS OWN VOLITION

AND THAT I HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH KIRK'S DEMISE.

AND YET DOWN DEEP YOU'RE
HAPPY THAT THE BOY IS DEAD.

LIKE I SAID, YOU'RE TRYING
TO BURN OFF EXCESS GUILT

BY MAKING HOYT
INTO A CAUSE.

JUST BE SURE HE IS
THE PROPER RECIPIENT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ?

JAZ HOYT IS NOT
THE VICTIM HERE.

( Kirk )
YOU CAN WALK AWAY,

BUT I'M NOT LIKE
THE REVEREND CLOUTIER.

I WON'T JUST
DISAPPEAR.

MRS. KIRK ?

YES.

I'M FATHER MUKADA.

I HAVE TIMOTHY'S
BELONGINGS.

I JUST NEED YOU
TO SIGN THIS FORM.

DID YOU KNOW
MY SON ?

AH, YES.

SUCH A SWEET,
SWEET FACE.

WHO KNEW THERE WAS
SO MUCH BAD INSIDE ?

HE LEFT HIS OWN BABY
TO DIE IN A DUMPSTER,

THEN HE CAME HERE.

HE SAID SUCH
TERRIBLE THINGS,

SHOCKING THINGS
ABOUT THE CHURCH,

ABOUT JESUS.

HE CALLED ME
SATAN'S WHORE.

FATHER, WOULD YOU
HEAR MY CONFESSION ?

WHAT COULD YOU POSSIBLY
HAVE TO CONFESS ?

I STPED LOVING
MY SON THAT DAY.

MY HEART WENT COLD,

AND I STOPPED
LOVING HIM.

I NEED GOD
TO FORGIVE ME FOR THAT.

( sobbing )

SHH.

"MUSIC EXPRESSES THAT WHICH
CANNOT BE PUT INTO WORDS,

AND THAT WHICH
CANNOT REMAIN SILENT."

VICTOR HUGO.

HELLO, CYRIL.

THERE'S SOMETHING I WANT
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.

I'VE BEEN WONDERING...

WAIT, SISTER, DON'T YOU
WANT TO SAY HELLO TO ME ?

OH, YEAH, SURE,
HELLO, JERICHO.

CYRIL, HOW ARE YOU
FEELING LATELY ?

HE'S FINE.

OKAY, THAT'S ENOUGH.

LET'S PUT JERICHO
AWAY, OKAY ?

NO.

YES.

GIVE ME THE PUPPET.

FUCK YOU,

YOU CUNT.

CYRIL,
I GAVE YOU JERICHO,

AND NOW
I WANT HIM BACK.

OKAY, NOW LET GO.

LET GO.

OW, OW, OW, OW !

OFFICER !

I NEED HELP.

LET HER GO !

JERICHO
MADE ME DO IT !

JERICHO MADE ME
DO IT !

GET OFF ME !

GIVE ME THAT THING !

GET UP.

JERICHO.

JERICHO.

JERICHO.

JERICHO.

JERICHO.

O'REILY,
SHUT THE FUCK UP.

JERICHO.

SOBBING LIKE A CHICK
OVER A STUPID PUPPET ?

JERICHO.

KNOCK IT OFF RIGHT NOW,
OR ELSE.

JERICHO, JERICHO.

OKAY, I WARNED YOU.

MATT !

JERICHO.

JERICHO.

WHAT THE FUCK ?

JERICHO.

DOUSE THE
LITTLE PRICK.

STOP, STOP !

STOP !

( sobbing )

YOU WANT SOME
OF THIS, TOO ?

STOP !

LIGHTS OUT !

( breathing heavily )

IF THE APPEALS COURT
PLAYS BALL,

CYRIL O'REILY
WILL DIE NEXT MONTH,

THE FIRST PERSON EXECUTED

UNDER THE STATE'S NEW DEFINITION
OF MENTALLY RETARDED.

WE HAVE TO BE PREPARED
FOR A BACKLASH.

YES, REIMONDO AND HER
HAPPY BAND OF DO-GOODERS

HAVE BEEN STIRRING UP
THE PRESS AND THE PUBLIC.

THE QUESTION IS,
HOW DO WE FIGHT BACK ?

THERE WOULDN'T BE ALL
THIS BREAST-FEEDING

IF THE FOLKS THOUGHT
THE 'TARD WAS NORMAL.

SO, WE HAVE
TO MAKE HIM NORMAL,

OR APPEAR NORMAL.

ACCORDING TO
SISTER PETER MARIE'S FILES,

CYRIL HAS BEEN GIVEN
A SERIES OF STABILIZING DRUGS,

NONE OF WHICH
HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL.

WHICH IS WHY
I PROPOSE USING ECT.

WHAT'S ECT. ?

BASICALLY THE P.C. WAY
OF SAYING ELECTROSHOCK.

GOVERNOR--

THERE'S A NASTY
MISCONCEPTION ABOUT ECT.

IT'S NOT THE HORRIBLE MIND
TORTURE YOU SEE IN THE MOVIES.

IT'S REALLY
QUITE BENIGN.

LOOK, I'M NOT GONNA SIT HERE
DEBATING THE PROS AND CONS

OF ELECTROSHOCK THERAPY.

CYRIL IS
SISTER PETER MARIE'S PATIENT.

A DECISION CAN'T BE MADE
WITHOUT CONSULTING HER.

DR. DONALD ROFE, DIRECTOR OF THE
STATE OFFICE OF MENTAL HEALTH

WILL MEET
WITH HER TOMORROW.

YOU'LL ALSO NEED PERMISSION
FROM THE O'REILY FAMILY.

SIGNED BY THE FATHER,
SHEAMUS O'REILY.

YOU AGREE
WITH ALL THIS ?

IT WAS MY IDEA.

PETER MARIE,

YOU OKAY ?

AH, NO.

I JUST HAD A MEETING
WITH DON ROFE

WHO TOLD ME THAT THEY'RE GOING
TO GIVE CYRIL O'REILY ECT,

AND...

THAT I'D BETTER
SHUT UP AND LIKE IT.

WILL YOU ?

WELL, THAT'S WHAT
I'M TRYING TO DECIDE.

YOU KNOW, NORMALLY
IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS,

I JUST RAISE HIGH
THE BATTLEMENTS AND CHARGE.

BUT AS ROFE
SO ELOQUENTLY POINTED OUT,

IN CYRIL'S CASE...

I HAVE FAILED
COMPLETELY.

NOTHING I TRIED
HAS WORKED.

SO, I HAVE TO WEIGH
MY EGO AGAINST

WHAT'S BEST
FOR MY PATIENT.

I DON'T WANT
TO SAY NO

JUST TO KEEP SOMEBODY ELSE
FROM SUCCEEDING

WHERE I HAVE FAILED.

AND YOU THINK A SPIN AROUND
McMANUS' MAZE WILL DO THE TRICK.

CAN'T HURT.

HEY, YOU WANTED
TO SEE ME ?

YEAH, RYAN, SIT DOWN.

THAT'S GOOD, BECAUSE
I WANTED TO SEE YOU, TOO.

I JUST SAW CYRIL,
AND HE'S SO GODDAMN SAD.

IF THIS PUPPET MEANS
SO MUCH TO HIM,

WHY DON'T YOU JUST
GIVE IT BACK TO HIM ?

I-I CAN'T, RYAN.

JERICHO WAS MY IDEA,
REMEMBER ?

A WAY FOR CYRIL TO DEAL
WITH THE CONFUSION
SURROUNDING THE TRIAL,

BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE PUPPET
HAS COME TO MEAN

MORE THAN THAT TO HIM.

IT'S BECOME A WHOLE
OTHER PERSONALITY.

I DON'T CARE
ABOUT THAT.

I JUST WANT CYRIL
TO BE HAPPY.

IT'S NOT
THAT SIMPLE.

CYRIL IS SUFFERING FROM SEVERE
DEPRESSION AND SCHIZOPHRENIA.

ALRIGHT,
SO WHAT'S NEXT ?

I MEAN, WHAT CAN
WE DO TO CURE HIM ?

YOUR FATHER HAS ALREADY AGREED
TO ELECTROSHOCK THERAPY.

MY FATHER ?

WHAT THE FUCK DOES
THAT OLD BASTARD

HAVE TO DO
WITH ANYTHING ?

I KNOW, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE,
BUT IN THE EYES OF THE LAW,

HE IS CYRIL'S
GUARDIAN.

ALRIGHT, SO THIS
ELECTROSHOCK THERAPY,

DOES IT DO
ANY GOOD ?

I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE
WITH IT.

THE TREATMENT WAS IN VOGUE
FOR YEARS AND FELL OUT OF FAVOR.

HOWEVER, SOME MENTAL HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS SWEAR BY IT.

CLINICAL EVIDENCE
INDICATES THAT ECT

PRODUCES A SUBSTANTIAL
IMPROVEMENT

IN 80% OF PATIENTS.

ARE THERE
ANY DANGERS ?

THERE'S HEADACHES,
THERE'S SORENESS,

NAUSEA, MEMORY LOSS.

LOOK, WE'RE TALKING
120 VOLTS,

AN ORDINARY
HOUSEHOLD CURRENT

APPLIED TO THE BRAIN
FOR HALF A SECOND

10 TO 15 TIMES WITHIN A PERIOD
OF TWO TO THREE WEEKS,

AND NO ONE KNOWS IF
THERE'S PERMANENT DAMAGE.

NO.

JESUS CHRIST,
CAN'T WE STOP THEM ?

THE TRUTH IS THAT THEY HAVE
CONSPIRED TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

WE ARE TAKEN OUT OF
THIS DECISION MAKING.

I SPOKE TO ZELMAN TO SEE
IF WE COULD GO TO COURT,

IF WE COULD FIGHT IT,
AND HE SAYS WE WOULDN'T WIN.

THAT'S GENIUS.

DEVLIN WANTS
TO ELECTROSHOCK CYRIL

TO MAKE HIM NORMAL ENOUGH
TO ELECTROCUTE HIM.

( Augustus Hill )
"MUSIC IS THE BRANDY
OF THE DAMNED."

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW.

HELLO, CYRIL.

WHY DON'T YOU HOP
RIGHT UP HERE ?

TRUST ME, THIS ONE'S
GOING TO BE A PIECE OF CAKE.

THIS IS GOING TO PRICK
JUST A BIT.

COME ON, WE'RE GOING
TO GIVE YOU TWO DIFFERENT DRUGS,

ONE THAT PUTS YOU TO SLEEP AND
THE OTHER RELAXES YOUR MUSCLES.

THAT'S GONNA
PRICK JUST A BIT.

THESE ARE ELECTRODES,
AND ONCE YOU'RE ASLEEP,

THEY'LL MEASURE THE CURRENT
THAT'S STIMULATING YOUR BRAIN.

BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO DO
A LITTLE PROCEDURE TODAY.

NOW, THIS IS GOING
TO PRICK JUST A BIT...

WHEN THE LIQUID IS GOING
THROUGH THOSE TUBES.

( cello playing )

RELAX,
PUT YOU TO SLEEP.

DOES IT HURT ?

NOT IF YOU'RE ASLEEP.

HE'S OUT.

( cello playing )

READY ?

FIRE AWAY.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING ?

I HAVE A TERRIBLE
HEADACHE.

DID YOU TELL
YOUR DOCTORS ?

WHO ?

NEVER MIND.

SOMETIMES IF
SOMEBODY HOLDS YOU,

THE PAIN GOES AWAY.

DO YOU WANT ME
TO HOLD YOU ?

OKAY.

COME ON.

SHH.

HELLO, RYAN.

HI.

I JUST HAD A CALL
FROM ARNOLD ZELMAN.

THEY'VE DENIED
CYRIL'S APPEAL.

SHIT.

OKAY.

OKAY, NOW
WHAT DO WE DO ?

WELL, ZELMAN WILL PROBABLY TRY
TO FIGURE OUT ANOTHER APPROACH,

ANOTHER APPEAL,

BUT IN THE MEANTIME

THE JUDGE HAS SET THE DATE
FOR CYRIL'S EXECUTION.

WHAT ?

WHEN ?

THREE WEEKS
FROM THURSDAY.

THAT'S NOT MUCH TIME.

I FEEL DEEP DOWN
WE'LL STOP THE EXECUTION,

BUT JUST IN CASE, RYAN,

I THINK YOU OUGHT
TO ACCEPT THE FACT...

NO.

NO WAY.

YOU KNOW, IF I EVEN
ENTERTAIN THE THOUGHT,

IF I LET MYSELF
BELIEVE FOR A SECOND

THAT MY BROTHER'S
GONNA DIE,

THEN MY BROTHER'S
GONNA DIE.

THIS WAS
FATHER MEEHAN'S.

I DON'T KNOW,
I-I HAVE FAITH, SISTER.

FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN A REALLY LONG TIME,

I HAVE FAITH.

I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE
GAVE UP RUNNING THE CAFETERIA.

WE GOT US
SOME NEW JOBS.

MAN, KITCHEN BEST
DETAIL THERE IS.

I GOT THE BELLY
TO PROVE IT.

YEAH, WELL, I FOUND US
SOMETHING BETTER,

SOMETHING THAT WILL GET US
OUT OF THE MUCK AND MIRE.

MAN, WE AIN'T DOWN
IN NO SHIT.

WRONG, KENANIAH.

WE IN SO MUCH SHIT YOU CAN'T
EVEN SMELL IT NO MORE.

SO, WHAT'S
YOUR BRAINSTORM ?

GONNA BE
TELEMARKETERS.

TELE WHO ?

I'M SERIOUS.

GONNA LEARN
YOU BOYS SOME SKILLS,

SOMETHING THAT'LL
MAKE YOU MORE CASH

THAN YOU'RE MAKING
OVER THERE IN THE KITCHEN.

NOT MORE
THAN SLINGING.

AIN'T GONNA BE
NO MORE SLINGING.

ARE YOU CRAZY,
NIGGER ?

YEAH, NO MOTHERFUCKIN'
WAY WE GOING--

HOLD UP, HOLD UP,
HOLD UP.

SO, WHAT'S
YOUR ANGLE, BURR ?

THERE AIN'T NO ANGLE.

THIS IS THE DAWN
OF A NEW DAY, GENTLEMEN.

OUR CHARGE IS
TO RISE UP AND FACE IT.

AND RISE UP WE SHALL.

AND THIS IS THE NERVE CENTER
OF OUR OPERATION.

IT'S VERY NICE,
VERY NICE.

AND IT RUNS LIKE ANY OTHER
TELEMARKETING FIRM.

BETTER.

I HIRE THESE GUYS CHEAP,
YOU GET ME CHEAPER,

WHICH IN TURN LOWERS
YOUR OVERHEAD,

INCREASES CALL VOLUME

AND FILLS THOSE
CAMPAIGN COFFERS.

AND THE DAY-TO-DAY,
NO DIFFERENCE.

S-O-P.

YOU PROVIDE US WITH CONTACT
NUMBERS AND PREPARED TEXT,

WE GET RIGHT TO WORK.

AND NOBODY KNOWS
THEY'RE TALKING TO CONVICTS.

NOT UNLESS YOU WANT US
TO TELL THEM.

TRUST ME, THAT WOULD BE THE LAST
THING THAT SENATOR LAKEN

WOULD WANT
HIS CONSTITUENTS TO KNOW.

LAKEN ?

THE RIGHT-WING,
BIBLE-TOTING MOTHERFUCKER ?

HIS LEGISLATION
IS THE MAIN REASON

WHY HALF THE MEN IN HERE
ARE DOING TWICE AS MUCH TIME.

LET ME ASSURE YOU, MR. D'ARATA,
THAT MY COMPANY IS NON-PARTISAN

AND WILL BE COMMITTED
TO WHATEVER IT IS

YOU WANT US TO DO.

CAN THE EDITORIALS.

I'M SORRY, SIR.

I DON'T MEAN
ANY OFFENSE.

THAT'S ALRIGHT.

EVERYONE IS ENTITLED
TO THEIR OWN POINT OF VIEW.

THIS IS AMERICA,
AFTER ALL.

AND THIS PROGRAM IS
WORKING IN OTHER PRISONS ?

IT'S THRIVING.

A SITUATION LIKE
THIS BENEFITS EVERYBODY.

NOBODY LOSES.

I'M A CAMPAIGN MANAGER,
MS. DEGENHART.

SOMEBODY ALWAYS LOSES.

BUT I WILL TAKE YOUR PROPOSAL
BACK TO MY PEOPLE.

DON'T LET ME GO
REALA, GORILLA,

BAD NIGGER, DRILLER.

DOUBLE LIVE, CROSS-EYED,
SEE-YOU-FROM-THE-SIDE SCHEMER.

TYPE OF NIGGER
BANG HIS CHEST WHEN HE FIGHT,

FOR HE'S IN
TOO MUCH TRUTH,

SO, WE SEE THE BLESSINGS
OF NIGHT, BLESSINGS OF CALM.

NOTHING LAYS WAITING.

IMAGINE WHAT HE'S HOLD
IN HIS PALM,

HOLDING IN HIS DREAM,

500 YEARS OF HATE
JUST BUILDING LIKE STEAM,

MOUNTING LIKE KILIMANJARO.

SO, JUST WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW
WHEN THINGS GET RIGHT WITH ME.

I'M GONNA SMITE
THE WICKED, STEP OFF EASY.

WHAT, WHAT ?

BURR, BURR,
WHAT'S UP, WHAT'S UP ?

WE'RE IN BUSINESS,
GENTLEMEN.

CONTRACT GOT
SIGNED TODAY.

NOW, WHY THAT PUT YOU
IN SUCH A FINE FUCKIN' MOOD.

THEY AIN'T TURNING US
INTO WORKING STIFFS, MAN.

POET, THAT ATTITUDE IS THE FIRST
THING YOU GONNA GET RID OF.

I AIN'T DOIN' IT.

FUNNY HOW YOU THINK
YOU GOT A CHOICE.

SO, WE GIVING UP
THE TIT TRADE
JUST LIKE THAT ?

IF I AM, YOU ARE, TOO.

HEY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT GETTING ON BOARD

RIGHT AWAY, OKAY ?

JUST BE READY BY
9:00 TOMORROW MORNING.

C'MON BURR,
GODDAMN, MAN.

AND YOU DON'T HAVE
TO BELIEVE THAT I'M RIGHT,

BECAUSE I'M GOING
TO SHOW YOU HOW RIGHT I AM.

WHATEVER MAN.

SO, WHEN DO YOU EXPECT TO
PUBLISH AUGUSTUS HILL'S BOOK ?

WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE IT
OUT THIS MONTH,

BUT THAT'S WHY
WE NEEDED TO SEE YOU.

THERE'S BEEN A BUMP
OVER WHO OWNS THE RIGHTS.

AUGUSTUS HAD A WILL CLEARLY
STATING ALL MONEYS FROM THE BOOK

WENT TO GROUPS
THAT HELP PRISONERS,

LIKE THE FORTUNE SOCIETY.

YES, BUT HIS WIFE,
ANABELLA...

EX-WIFE,
SHE DIVORCED HIM.

WELL, SHE IS CLAIMING THAT
THE DIVORCE WAS NOT FINAL

AT THE TIME
OF HILL'S DEATH

AND THAT SHE IS THE RIGHTFUL
HEIR TO HIS ROYALTIES.

PLUS, WE'VE BEEN SERVED
AN INJUNCTION BY THE FAMILY

OF LAWRENCE HUDACK.

THE OFFICER THAT
AUGUSTUS KILLED ?

THIS STATE HAS
A SON OF SAM LAW.

ALL OF THE MONEY
FROM THE BOOK

IS SUPPOSED TO GO
INTO A VICTIM'S TRUST.

KAREEM, WE ARE
LOOKING AT MONTHS,

MAYBE YEARS
OF LEGAL BATTLES.

WHAT ARE YOU
SAYING TO ME ?

YOU'RE NOT GONNA
PUBLISH THIS BOOK ?

THE PUBLISHING INDUSTRY'S
SHAKY RIGHT NOW,

AND THIS MEMOIR,
ALTHOUGH WELL WRITTEN,

IT'S NOT A BEST SELLER.

WHAT IF I COULD MAKE IT
WORTH YOUR WHILE,

CUT YOUR
PRINTING COSTS ?

HOW ARE YOU
GONNA DO THAT ?

I HAD AN INSPIRATION.

NOW, JUST WAIT A MINUTE,
WAIT A MINUTE, BACK UP.

YOU WANT TO START
YOUR OWN COMPANY ?

YES, BOOK BINDING.

I'VE DONE
THE RESEARCH.

PERFECT SIZE BUSINESS
TO RUN FROM OZ.

I PRESUME YOU'RE NOT LOOKING
TO THE STATE FOR THE MONEY

TO START
THIS LITTLE VENTURE.

NO, WE MUSLIMS WILL
POOL OUR BANK ACCOUNTS.

IT'S A SMALL RISK.

MY PUBLISHERS HAVE AGREED
TO LET ME PRODUCE

AUGUSTUS' BOOK
FOR THEM.

THEY'VE INTRODUCED ME
TO SEVERAL POTENTIAL CLIENTS.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE AGAINST THE
WHOLE CONCEPT OF PRISON LABOR.

NOT THE CONCEPT,
THE WAY IT'S PRACTICED.

I'M NOT GONNA DRIVE SOME LOCAL
COMPETITOR OUT OF BUSINESS

IN THAT I DO NOT HAVE
ANY LOCAL COMPETITORS.

AND MORE IMPORTANTLY,
McMANUS,

I WILL PAY
THE DECENT WAGE,

MINIMUM WAGE.

SO, YOU'RE GOING
TO FORK OVER $5.25 AN HOUR

OUT OF YOUR
OWN POCKET.

IN THE BEGINNING, YES,
BUT WITH PROJECTED EARNINGS

I EXPECT WE'LL BE MAKING IT
BACK WITHIN SIX WEEKS.

WELL, I CAN'T THINK OF
A GOOD REASON TO SAY NO.

YOU ?

YOU KNOW, WE KEEP
DEVELOPING OUR OWN INDUSTRIES,

OZ IS GONNA END UP ON
THE COVER OF "FORTUNE 500".

LOOK AT THIS,
MY BROTHERS.

IT'S AN ORDINARY BOOK
TO SOME,

AND YET I BELIEVE WHAT
I HOLD IN MY HAND IS THE PAST,

WHAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN;

THE PRESENT,

WHAT CAN BE READ NOW,

AND THE FUTURE,

THE GLORIOUS WORK
BEFORE US.

AND WE MUSLIMS,

WE'RE GOING
TO LEAD THE WAY

FOR THE WORLD TO SEE HOW
WORKERS CAN BE TREATED FAIRLY,

CAN BE TREATED
RESPECTFULLY.

WE WILL DEMONSTRATE
TRUE PRIDE IN OUR CRAFT,

AND WE WILL DEMONSTRATE,
ONCE AND FOREVER,

HOW HUMAN BEINGS PULLING
TOGETHER CAN BECOME A FORCE

FOR GOOD AND CELEBRATE IT
IN THE SPIRIT OF ALLAH.

( bell ringing )

NOW, I'M ASKING
FOR YOUR HELP.

I'M ASKING
FOR YOUR DEDICATION.

I AM ASKING FOR
YOUR ABSOLUTE COMMITMENT.

ARE YOU WITH ME ?

( all )
YES.

I CAN'T HEAR YOU,
ARE YOU WITH ME ?

YES !

ALLAH OU AKBAH.

ALLAH OU AKBAH !

ALLAH OU AKBAH !

ALLAH OU AKBAH...

ALL PRAISE
IS DUE TO ALLAH.

OF COURSE YOU'VE SAID
IT WILL BE DIFFICULT, MINISTER.

YES, BUT WORTH
THE STRUGGLE.

BEING A PART OF PUBLISHING
AUGUSTUS' BOOK,

THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF OZ
WILL BE REJUVENATED.

NOW, I'VE CONTACTED
ANABELLA HILL

AND THE HUDACK FAMILY.

I'M TRYING TO SETTLE
THEIR LEGAL CLAIMS.

WHO'S THAT ?

HE'S A REPORTER.

HE'S GONNA DO A STORY
ON OUR NEW VENTURE.

WAIT HERE.

ALRIGHT.

KAREEM SAID.

MR. IDZIK.

( shouting )

ARIF,

DON'T HARM HIM.

IT'S OKAY.

YOU'RE GONNA
BE ALRIGHT.

YOU'RE GONNA
BE ALRIGHT, MAN.

COME ON, COME ON.

BREATHE, BREATHE.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE...

( Augustus Hill )
WILLIAM CONGREVE SAID,

"MUSIC HAS CHARMS
TO SOOTHE A SAVAGE BREAST,

TO SOFTEN ROCKS
OR BEND A KNOTTED OAK."

BUT WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN THE MUSIC IS GONE,

WHEN THERE
IS NO MELODY,

WHEN ALL YOU HEAR
IS SILENCE ?

THE BITTERSWEET,
DEAFENING SOUND OF NOTHING,

NOTHING AT ALL.
