IN THERE AGAIN!
NO!
NO!
PLEASE!
PLEASE, NO!
COBBLER,
COBBLER!

NO!
AHHHHH!

IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT,
INMATES ARE NOT ONLY SURROUNDED
BY WALLS
BUT ALSO BY THEIR THOUGHTS,
DREAMS AND DEEPEST FEARS.
IN CASE FILE
286-051,
THE O.S.I.R.
WAS CALLED IN TO INVESTIGATE
THE DISQUIETING DEATH
OF A PRISONER, NICK HARPER.
THIS CASE
FORCED ONE O.S.I.R. INVESTIGATOR
TO CONFRONT THE DARKEST ASPECTS
OF HIS OWN SOUL.
CASE MANAGER'S LOG;
PRAEGER RECORDING.
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HAS
BROUGHT US IN FOR AN EVALUATION
OF THE UNEXPLAINED DEATH
OF AN INMATE AT NEWGATE PRISON.
THE DEPARTMENT WANTS IT DEALT
WITH QUIETLY TO AVOID ANY PRESS.
DR. CLAIRE DAVISON
AND LINDSAY DONNER ARE ON SITE
MEETING
WITH WARDEN MOIRA TAGGERT.
THE REST OF MY TEAM AND MYSELF
WILL ARRIVE BY MIDNIGHT.
PRAEGER OUT.
*
*
THIS ISN'T
A SUICIDE.
WHO WAS HE?
NICK HARPER.
HE WAS SERVING 25 YEARS
WITHOUT POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE.
KILLED HIS WIFE
WITH A CROSSBOW.
HOW'D HE BREAK THESE CUFFS,
CLAIRE?
POSSIBLY
AN ADRENALINE SURGE
OR A DRUG-INDUCED RAGE.
I'LL DO A TOX SCREEN
WITH THE AUTOPSY.
HE HAS BEEN DEAD
AT LEAST 12 HOURS.
CAN'T BE.
THIS ENTIRE PRISON
WAS IN LOCK DOWN.
EVERY DOOR IS ELECTRONICALLY
MONITORED AND RACKED.
NOW, JUST GET THIS
OVER WITH.
WARDEN?
MAY I HAVE
A WORD?
LOOK, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH OUR BEING HERE,
TALK TO JUSTICE;
WE'RE HERE ON THEIR BEHALF.
FINE,
I'LL DO THAT.
GOOD.
MS. DONNER,
THIS IS
CHAPLIN HEWITT.
TERRIBLE THING.
YES, IT IS.
WITH YOUR PERMISSION I'D LIKE
TO OFFER COUNSELLING TO THE MEN.
I'D APPRECIATE THAT,
IRWIN.
THIS CAN BE DIFFICULT
TO DEAL WITH.
OF COURSE.
I'M SCHEDULING
A SPECIAL SERVICE.
YOU'RE WELCOME
TO ATTEND.
YES, I'D--
I DOUBT THEY'LL BE HERE
THAT LONG.
WARDEN,
WE'LL NEED TO DO
A FULL, UNDISTURBED EXAMINATION
OF THE CELL.
FINE;
WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED?
ACCESS
AND HELP SETTING UP
THE PRELIMINARY INTERVIEWS:
THE GUARDS,
HIS CELL MATE,
ANYONE WHO KNEW HIM.
WHY DON'T YOU USE MY OFFICE;
MAKE YOURSELF RIGHT AT HOME.
THANK YOU.
WE HAD ONE HELL OF A TIME
GETTING HARPER INTO THE HOLE.
I UNDERSTAND
HE KILLED A GUARD.
MARTY.
THE GUY
WAS 35.
2 KIDS
AND ANOTHER ONE ON THE WAY.
HARPER JUST LAUGHED.
BUT HE STOPPED LAUGHING
WHEN WE SHOVED HIM IN CELL 216.
SO THEN
JUSTICE WAS DONE?
YEAH.
BUT NOT BY ME.
YOU WANT ANSWERS,
TALK TO MY UNION REP.
MR. SIMEON,
NICK HARPER KILLED YOUR FRIEND,
CORRECT?
SOMEONE GOT TO HARPER.
HE HATED EVERYONE;
EVERYONE HATED HIM.
YOU DO THE MATH.
WHAT ABOUT
HIS CELL MATE?
YOU MEAN SANCHEZ?
WERE YOU AND NICK HARPER
FRIENDS?
YEAH.
RIGHT;
FRIENDS, YEAH.
UNTIL HE DECIDED TO CUT ME
FOR LOOKING AT HIM SIDEWAYS.
YOU WANNA SEE SOME MORE,
BABY?
THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A REASON
HE ATTACKED YOU.
NAH,
I KEEP OUT OF TROUBLE.
I DON'T MAKE
EYE CONTACT.
I DON'T HAVE
A GIRLFRIEND.
AND IF SOMEONE
TAKES MY DESSERT,
I'M NOT SO HUNGRY.
ACCORDING TO THIS,
YOU WERE SENT
TO SOLITARY
FOR HITTING A GUARD.
WHAT ABOUT IT?
YOU TELL ME.
ANYTHING UNUSUAL
ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE THERE?
DID NICK HAVE REASON
TO BE AFRAID?
HE'S DEAD ISN'T HE?
*
I DON'T KNOW,
RAY.
SOMETHING'S
NOT RIGHT.
LINDSAY, THANKS
FOR DOING THE GROUND WORK.
NOW, HOW ABOUT THOSE HOME MOVIES
YOU PROMISED?
WELL, THIS IS
WHAT LITTLE WE KNOW.
HARPER AND 2 GUARDS,
COBBLER AND SIMEON, GO IN.
PHYSICALLY,
HARPER SEEMS FINE.
THE GUARDS LEAVE.
THE NEXT MORNING
HARPER'S FOUND DEAD.
UNKNOWN.
CLAIRE'S DOING THE AUTOPSY
TONIGHT.
PRELIMINARY INTERVIEWS?
I HAVE TO TALK TO HIS SISTER
BUT I'VE HIT THE WALL.
EVERYBODY SHUTS UP ON A PRISON
KILLING, IT'S BAD FOR BUSINESS.
BUSINESS;
SURVIVAL.
WHAT ABOUT
THIS PLACE?
NEWGATE PRISON
WAS BUILT IN 1858.
A FIRE IN 1943 DESTROYED
MOST OF THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE
AND KILLED
OVER 100 INMATES.
A PRISON
AND A DEATH TRAP.
NICE KARMA.
WHEN REBUILT THE SURVIVING WING
BECAME SOLITARY.
WHERE HARPER DIED.
THAT'S RIGHT.
HOUDINI.
PETE?
HOW WAS
THE GREAT PHYSICS CONFERENCE?
IT WAS GREAT;
YEAH, GREAT.
WINKLER DID THE PRELIMINARY
ENVIRONMENTALS ON THE EVENT SITE
AND IT'S BEEN CLEANED.
YOU'RE KIDDING.
WHAT;
THE WARDEN ASSURED ME.
WELL, IT WAS CLEANED
AFTER THE BODY WAS TRANSFERRED.
DOWN TO PAINTING THE WALLS;
NO CHANCE OF GAINING
ANY PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
OR P.K. RESIDUAL ENERGIES.
NICE WORK,
LINDS.
IF YOU THINK YOU COULD--
HEY, HEY,
THAT'S ENOUGH.
LET'S PUT THIS DOWN
TO JET LAG
AND LONG HOURS.
RAY,
CHECK OUT THE GUARDS.
THIS LOOKS LIKE A BASIC MURDER
AND CONSPIRACY CASE.
WHEN CLAIRE'S AUTOPSY COMES IN,
WE'LL KNOW WHERE WE STAND.
WOW!
I LOVE ETHIOPIAN FOOD.
OKAY,
HOW DID YOU KNOW?
WELL,
ALL THIS PARANORMAL STUFF,
IT'S GIVEN ME
PSYCHIC POWERS.
IT SMELLS GREAT, BUT
LET ME FINISH HERE 1st, OKAY?
CLAIRE,
IT'S GONNA GET COLD.
I LIKE THINGS
COLD.
OF COURSE
YOU DO.
BONE SAW.
THE HAND-HELD
CIRCULAR SAW.
COULD YOU GET IT FOR ME,
PLEASE?
YEAH.
THANKS.
THAT'LL COME OUT.
HIS HEART'S HEALTHY.
MUST OF WORKED OUT.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT HIS LUNGS,
SHALL WE?
MY GOD.
WHAT IS IT?
C.W.P.
ALL THE BRONCHIAL TUBES
ARE CHOKED.
BLACK LUNG.
DROWNED IN DIRT
IN A LOCKED CELL, HUH?
PARANORMAL ENOUGH
FOR ME.
NO ONE
WANTS TO COOPERATE.
THE WARDEN'S STONEWALLING US;
THE INMATES DON'T GIVE A DAMN
AND THE GUARDS
ARE HIDING SOMETHING.
WHAT ABOUT LEVEL 2,
MAN ON THE INSIDE?
WE'VE GOT NOTHING.
WORKING UNDERCOVER MAY BE
OUR ONLY OPTION.
I'LL DO IT.
RAY, THEY'D SMELL EX-COP BEFORE
YOU WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR.
I'D DO IT,
BUT I DON'T HAVE
THE RIGHT LOOK.
I'LL DO IT.
PETER, YOU'RE NOT EXACTLY
TRAINED IN UNDERCOVER WORK.
NEWGATE ISN'T EXACTLY
A SCIENCE LAB.
BRING SOMEONE IN?
THEN WE LOSE MORE TIME
AND EVIDENCE.
LOOK GUYS,
I'M VOLUNTEERING.
DO YOU HAVE
A DEATH WISH?
IT IS A BIG RISK,
PETE.
FORGET IT.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST LET ME KNOW
WHAT YOU DECIDE.
SOMEBODY DIDN'T HAVE THEIR BRAN
THIS MORNING.
TIME OUT,
PETE.
YOU CALL THE SHOTS.
YOU DO WHAT YOU LIKE.
HEY!
WANNA TELL ME
WHAT THIS IS REALLY ALL ABOUT?
YOU REMEMBER
DON OLIVET?
YOUR PHYSICIST FRIEND.
HE PRESENTED HIS PAPER
ON THE UNIFIED FIELD THEORY
AT THE CONFERENCE.
YOU WERE WORKING TOGETHER;
YOU GET CREDIT?
OH YEAH, RIGHT AFTER HIS WIFE
AND HIS DOG.
OUCH.
6 YEARS AGO I CAME UP WITH
THE GERM FOR THIS THEORY.
IF I'D HAD TIME,
THAT WOULD BE MY NAME.
AH,
THE FAME THING.
I DON'T WANNA BE
A FOOTNOTE.
I COULD'VE STAYED ON BELL ISLAND
FOR ALL THAT.
HOW DOES GETTING YOURSELF KNIFED
IN A SHOWER HELP?
I JUST WANT TO MAKE
A CONTRIBUTION.
AND YOU KNOW,
UNDERCOVER'S THE ONLY WAY
TO OPEN THAT CASE UP.
YOU KNOW IT
AND I KNOW IT.
LOOK,
I WANT TO GO IN.
YOUR NAME
IS HOWARD BLACKSON.
NARCOTICS TRAFFICKING,
ILLEGAL
ARMS POSSESSION.
WE'VE GIVEN YOU, HOWIE,
A COLLEGE DEGREE.
I DIDN'T THINK YOU COULD FAKE
A 7th GRADE EDUCATION.
THANKS,
RAY.
PLEASE,
TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY.
DON'T SMILE.
DON'T EVEN
MAKE EYE CONTACT.
YES,
SIR.
BETTER.
AS PART OF YOUR COVER,
YOU MADE A DEAL, HOWIE,
HOPING FOR AN EARLY PAROLE.
GET A GRIP ON WHAT KILLED HIM,
WE PULL YOU OUT, UNDERSTOOD?
OKAY,
LOCK ME UP.
*
*
*
*
HEY;
ME WANT YOU!
LOOK AT THIS!
THIS IS "A" BLOCK,
CELL 29.
YOU WILL
MEMORIZE THIS
AS WELL AS
YOUR NUMBER,
H874.
BECAUSE THAT'S ALL YOU WILL BE
FOR THE NEXT 10 TO 20.
I TAKE IT YOU GUYS
ARE THE WELCOMING COMMITTEE.
OW!
WELCOME TO NEWGATE.
*
WE'VE TAPPED INTO
THE PRISON SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM.
WE'RE GETTING THEIR VIDEO FEED
AT SOURCE.
LET'S SEE
IF WE CAN FIND PETER.
IS THAT HIM?
THAT SCRUFFY
LOW-LIFE?
YEAH,
THAT'S HIM.
HEY.
I HEAR YOU'VE BEEN DUMPED
IN MY CELL.
SANCHEZ.
I GUESS THAT MAKES IT
OUR CELL, DOESN'T IT?
YEAH, WELL YOU JUST
KEEP TO YOURSELF, OKAY?
WE'LL GET ALONG
JUST FINE.
I UNDERSTAND
YOUR EX-ROOMMATE
WAS NICKY HARPER.
I DID SOME TIME IN KINGSTON
WITH NICKY.
WHERE IS HE;
IS HE AROUND?
NO.
HE MAKE PAROLE?
NO.
NO WAY.
WELL,
KNOWING NICKY,
HE PROBABLY STARTED IT.
NOBODY DESERVES TO DIE
LIKE THAT.
LIKE WHAT?
NOTHING,
HE JUST WENT TO SOLITARY.
SO WHAT; HE SPENT HALF HIS TIME
IN KINGSTON IN SOLITARY.
YOU WANT SOMETHING FROM ME,
YOU ASK ME NICE, ALRIGHT?
BLACKSON!
HOLD IT
RIGHT THERE.
THAT'S IT;
BREAK IT UP, LADIES.
BREAK IT UP.
SO, SO, SO.
I HEAR YOU GOT FRIENDS,
BLACKSON.
NO, SIR.
SO HOW ARE YOU AND SANCHEZ
GETTING ALONG?
HE KNOW
YOU'RE A SNITCH?
SHUT UP MAN,
YOU'LL GET ME KILLED.
YOU GOTTA
BE DESPERATE
FOR A DEAL
TO BE SNITCHING ON SANCHEZ.
ONLY PROBLEM
WITH SNITCHES,
THEY SOMETIMES
LOSE THEIR FOCUS.
YOU JUST KEEP YOUR EYE ON HIM,
RIGHT?
BACK OFF,
COBBLER.
JUST SHOWING HIM AROUND,
CHAPLAIN.
YOU ALRIGHT?
YEAH.
HE'LL JUST BE PISSING PINK
FOR A COUPLE WEEKS.
HE CAN HANDLE IT.
OUR GUARDS ARE UNDER PRESSURE;
THEY DON'T THINK THINGS THROUGH.
HE'LL BE
WITH ME.
WHATEVER YOU SAY,
CHAPLAIN.
WHAT YOU LOOKING AT,
GIRLFRIEND?
*
OKAY, GOT HIM.
HE'S SELLING IT
LIKE A PRO.
*
*
SMACK WILL KILL YOU
FASTER THAN CIGARETTES.
HARPER DIDN'T MIND ME
BUMMING HIS SMOKES.
THAT'S 'CAUSE
HARPER DIDN'T SMOKE.
WHAT HAPPENED
IN SOLITARY?
216 HAPPENED.
WHAT IS THIS 216?
YOU READY FOR THE HOLE,
SANCHEZ?
THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
NO.
THAT'S NOT MINE.
YOU LYING
LITTLE BASTARD.
LISTEN,
YOU NEED
A MAJOR ATTITUDINAL ADJUSTMENT,
MY FRIEND.
YOU MADE ME
LOOK BAD
IN FRONT OF
THE CHAPLAIN.
I DON'T LIKE
LOOKING BAD.
YOU MUST BE MISERABLE
A LOT.
*
I WANNA SEE
THE WARDEN!
I KNOW MY RIGHTS!
WHATEVER YOU SAY.
*
*
SWEET DREAMS.
*
*
OKAY.
SHOW ME
WHAT YOU GOT.
*
*
*
HOWARD.
HOWARD,
HOWARD.
IT'S CHAPLAIN HEWITT.
I BROUGHT YOU
SOME THINGS.
HOW LONG
HAVE I BEEN IN THERE?
4 HOURS.
SOLITARY
CAN BE DISORIENTING.
I COULD HAVE SWORN...
LESS THAN A MINUTE.
I READ
YOUR RAP SHEET.
I KNOW THAT
YOU'RE A WELL-EDUCATED MAN.
YOU CAN USE THIS TIME
CONSTRUCTIVELY.
DON'T WASTE THE NEXT 20 HOURS
COUNTING THE STONES ON THE WALLS
OR TALKING
TO COCKROACHES.
DON'T LOOK AROUND YOU,
LOOK WITHIN.
CHART OUT
THE PATTERNS OF YOUR LIFE
THAT BROUGHT YOU
TO WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW.
THANK YOU,
CHAPLAIN.
GOOD LUCK;
DOOR.
NO WAIT.
*
*
*
*
KEVIN?
JASON?
WELCOME HOME,
AXE.
*
THERE'S NOWHERE TO RUN,
MAN.
*
*
HOME SWEET HOME.
IN!
I'M NOT HALLUCINATING.
HEY MAN,
QUIT TALKING TO YOURSELF.
THAT'S THE 1st SIGN
THAT YOU'RE GOING NUTS!
YOU REMEMBER
THAT NIGHT?
TOO MUCH BEER,
A LITTLE FOG.
YOU MUST REMEMBER, AXE,
YOU WERE DRIVING.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA BAIL ON US
THIS TIME.
*
FRESH ROAD POP.
*
BLACKSON.
BLACKSON!
YOU HEAR ME?
WHO'S BLACKSON?
HE MUST BE
IN SHOCK.
HOW LONG?
24 HOURS; NEXT TIME
YOU WON'T GET SO LUCKY.
TAKE HIM
TO HIS CELL.
YOU HEARD HER,
LET'S GO.
HEY,
WHERE'S YOU GET
THE BEER?
WHAT?
YOU REEK,
MAN.
WHERE WERE YOU?
216.
MADE IT OUT;
THAT'S GOOD.
NOT EVERYBODY DOES.
WHEN YOU WERE
IN THERE....
DID YOU SEE
A TREE
IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS FIELD
WITH A NOOSE HANGING OFF OF IT?
YEAH.
WAS THERE A--
WHAT ELSE
DID YOU SEE?
IT WOULDN'T MEAN ANYTHING
TO YOU.
WHEN I WAS A KID,
I USED TO HAVE THESE NIGHTMARES.
THERE WAS THIS THING
UNDER MY BED.
IF I PUT MY FEET ON THE FLOOR,
IT'D GRAB ME AND PULL ME UNDER.
I WAS SO SCARED,
I PISSED THE BED.
THAT WHAT YOU SAW?
*
YEAH.
*
HE SHOULD HAVE CALLED IN
BY NOW.
HE'S IN THERE
SOMEWHERE.
THANKS FOR THAT,
RAY.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE GOT
TALKED INTO THIS.
I'LL 2nd THAT.
I THINK IT'S TIME
HE HAD A VISITOR.
*
YOU GET 5 MINUTES,
BLACKSON.
HI, DAD.
HOW'S THE APPEAL
COMING?
LAWYER SAYS
HE'S WORKING ON IT.
WHY DIDN'T YOU
CALL IN?
I WAS
IN SOLITARY.
YOU ALRIGHT?
ANTON,
CELL 216--
I WAS BACK
ON BELL ISLAND.
KEVIN AND JASON
WERE THERE, TOO.
I WAS DRIVING
THE CAR THEY DIED IN.
THAT CELL KNOWS
THAT I KILLED THEM, ANTON.
I MEAN, WE WERE ALL DRUNK,
BUT I WAS THE ONE DRIVING.
PETER, DISORIENTATION
IS PERFECTLY COMMON--
LISTEN TO ME.
I LIVED THROUGH A NIGHTMARE
BUT IT WAS REAL.
I WAS THERE.
SANCHEZ EXPERIENCED IT, TOO,
AND SO DID HARPER.
IT'S ALL TIED INTO
CELL 216.
PETER,
WE CAN PULL YOU OUT.
NO.
I HAD A FLASH.
I HAD A MOMENT OF UNDERSTANDING
IN THERE.
IF I CAN GET PAST MY FEARS,
ANTON,
THERE ARE ANSWERS
TO BIG QUESTIONS.
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH EINSTEIN'S
UNIFIED FIELD THEORY?
VAGUELY.
HE WORKED
FOR 30 YEARS
TO UNIFY THE 4 MAIN FORCES
THAT SHAPE THE UNIVERSE:
GRAVITY,
ELECTROMAGNETISM,
THE STRONG FORCE
AND THE WEAK FORCE.
YOU CAN UNDERSTAND
EVERYTHING.
HOW THE UNIVERSE WAS CREATED;
HOW IT WILL END.
PETER--
EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE,
EVERYTHING.
YOU WERE UPSTAGED,
IT'S NATURAL.
EVERYTHING WORKS
IN THE LAW OF PHYSICS.
IT COMES TOGETHER
IN THERE.
IT'S THE UNIFIED
FIELD THEORY.
I HAVE TO
GO BACK IN THERE.
THE CELL
HAS THE ANSWERS.
PETER--
BYE, DAD.
*
*
CHAPLAIN.
YOU COMMAND A LOT OF RESPECT
AROUND HERE, CHAPLAIN.
I TRY
TO EARN IT.
I'M GONNA TRY TO EARN YOURS,
TOO, HOWARD.
HAVE YOU BEEN SAVED?
IT'S A LITTLE LATE
FOR ME.
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE
FOR SALVATION.
YOU CAN LOOK AT PRISON
2 WAYS:
AS A PLACE FOR PUNISHMENT
OR PENITENCE.
GOODBYE.
MAY GOD HAVE MERCY
ON YOUR SOUL.
6 INMATE FATALITIES
IN THE LAST 2 YEARS.
4 OF THEM
DON'T TRACK.
A DROWNING,
A FALL
AND SMOKE INHALATION.
AND ONE APPARENT SUICIDE
BY HANGING.
CORONER'S INQUEST?
NOT EVEN
AN AUTOPSY.
JUSTICE MUST HAVE
BEEN ON THIS PLACE A WHILE.
NICE OF THEM TO FILL US IN
ON ALL THE DETAILS.
OKAY,
OUR LATEST VICTIM
HAS COAL DUST IN HIS LUNGS.
HARPER GREW UP IN CAPE BRETON,
THAT'S MINING COUNTRY.
WE'RE LOSING PETER.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I THOUGHT HE WAS SUFFERING
FROM SENSORY DEPRAVATION.
BUT THEN
HE STARTED DESCRIBING CELL 216
AS A KIND OF
EMOTIONAL VORTEX,
ABSORBING AND THEN REFLECTING
YOUR WORST FEAR.
LIKE BEING
BURIED ALIVE.
BET THE DUST IN HARPER'S LUNGS
MATCHES CAPE BRETON MINES?
WE'RE GETTING PETE OUT.
I DON'T THINK
HE'LL GO.
WHY NOT;
MATT,
HE'S DELUSIONAL.
HE THINKS HE'S ON THE BRINK
OF A DISCOVERY.
HE'S DETERMINED
TO SEE IT THROUGH.
TILL HE DIES
LIKE HARPER?
WE'RE PULLING HIM OUT,
NOW.
ANTON,
I WAS BACK ON BELL ISLAND.
KEVIN AND JASON WERE THERE,
TOO...
HE'S NOT
A#A VERY EXPERIENCED UNDERCOVER.
THE BOY FORGOT THAT ALL CALLS
ARE BEING RECORDED.
MAN,
IT'S OVER.
HE WASN'T AFTER SAHEZ,
HE WAS AFTER US.
NOW, NOW, CALM DOWN,
ALRIGHT?
HE'S AN INFORMANT,
SO ANYTHING GOES.
*
*
YOU BETTER
WATCH WHAT YOU SAY
TO YOUR NEW BUDDY.
WHAT?
YOU GOT A SNITCH IN YOUR CAGE,
SANCHEZ.
YEAH, SCREW YOU,
SIMEON.
I'M SERIOUS,
HE CUT A DEAL.
HE'S HERE TO BUST YOU
ON A HOMICIDE.
*
WHAT ARE YOU,
SOME KIND OF GENIUS?
NO.
WHEN I--
IF I GO BACK INTO 216,
THESE FORMULAS
WILL HELP KEEP ME SANE.
YOU WON'T MAKE IT OUT
AGAIN.
I JUST GOTTA HOLD ON
TO REALITY.
WHEN I WAS A KID,
I'D WAKE UP FROM MY NIGHTMARE
AND STARE OUT THE WINDOW.
THERE WAS THIS BUILDING
WITH A SIGN ON IT.
IT WAS NOTHING SPECIAL
BUT IT WAS REAL.
IT WAS LIKE
A LIFE LINE.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU TALK TOO MUCH.
*
WHY DON'T WE TAKE
A STROLL?
HOW'D YOU GET HIM IN
SO QUICK?
I MUST HAVE PULLED IN
20 YEARS OF FAVOURS.
WHAT'S
GOING ON?
NICE JOB
BUT THE ASSIGNMENT'S OVER.
WE'RE
PULLING YOU OUT.
NO; I'M TOO CLOSE,
I CAN FEEL IT.
YEAH,
ANTON MENTIONED THAT.
I'M GOING BACK IN.
YOU'RE IN
OVER YOUR HEAD.
WHY; BECAUSE YOU WON'T BE AROUND
TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO?
YOU MUST BE
LOVING THIS.
JUST THAT PART.
NEEDS A TRIP TO THE INFIRMARY,
HE'S GOT A BIT OF A BELLY ACHE.
YOU'RE
THE NEW GUY.
YOU'RE
THE OLD GUY.
YOU'RE
THE SCRAWNY GUY.
YOU'RE THE BIG,
INTIMIDATING GUY.
WARDEN
WANTS TO SEE HIM.
NOW!
WELL, I'LL TAKE HIM,
NOW!
FORGET IT;
LET'S GO.
WHERE'S HE TAKING HIM?
SOLITARY'S
THE OTHER WAY.
DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL
ANY BETTER.
HEY,
WHERE WE GOING?
JUST
A LITTLE DETOUR.
*
*
*
YOU READY TO YABBER
OR DO WE KEEP GOING?
HEY,
THAT'S ENOUGH!
GET AWAY
FROM HIM!
THE WARDEN AND I
WILL TALK ABOUT THIS.
WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT,
BLACKSON?
YOU CAN TELL ME.
MY NAME IS PETER AXON.
PETER AXON.
I DON'T
UNDERSTAND YOU.
I'M NOT
A PRISONER.
I'M A SCIENTIST.
I WORK FOR
THE OFFICE OF SCIENTIFIC
INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH.
YOU MIGHT HAVE
A CONCUSSION.
NO, NO.
YOU CALL
LINDSAY DONNER.
SHE'LL VOUCH FOR ME, ALRIGHT;
O.S.I.R.
LINDSAY DONNER.
CELL NUMBER 216,
IT KILLED HARPER.
I KNOW IT DID.
YOU WERE IN THAT ROOM.
HOW DID YOU AVOID
YOUR PUNISHMENT?
DID YOU REPENT?
WERE YOU SAVED?
COBBLER,
SIMEON!
NO.
NO!
NO!
YOU SHOULD OF SAID
YOU WERE A COP.
THEY ALWAYS MAKE A BIGGER FUSS
WHEN ONE OF THEIRS GOES MISSING.
NO,
AHHHH!
COME ON.
THERE HE IS;
DAMN IT!
MY GOD!
THEY'VE GOT HIM
IN SOLITARY.
THE FIRE THAT DESTROYED
THE PENITENTIARY STARTED HERE.
110 MEN BURNED ALIVE.
THINK OF IT.
SOMETIMES I FEEL THE PAIN
OF LOST SOULS THROUGH THE WALLS.
YOU CAN STILL SMELL IT,
IF IT GETS DAMP ENOUGH.
*
O.S.I.R.
THEIR FEAR
AND EVIL,
CONCENTRATED
IN THIS ROOM.
FORTUNATELY,
SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE,
THIS HORRIBLE PLACE HAS SERVED
A HIGHER PURPOSE.
O.S.--
O.S.I.R.
IT PUNISHES
AND THEN IT LEADS
TO SALVATION.
GOOD NIGHT,
PETER AXON.
COME ON, MATT,
WHERE ARE YOU?
HOW'D YOU LIKE TO EARN
SOME TIME OFF FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR?
*
E SQUARED EQUALS
C SQUARED...
COME ON!
I'M WAITING!
*
LET'S ROCK AND ROLL!
WHOO!
*
PRISONER
NEEDS TIME IN THE HOLE.
YOU TRIED THAT,
IT DIDN'T WORK.
*
BROTHERS.
PETER!
*
I'M NOT BACKING DOWN
THIS TIME.
OPEN THE DOOR!
IT'S OUT OF MY HANDS.
YOU HEARD HIM,
GIVE HIM
THE KEY;
SANCHEZ,
EVERYTHING'S ON TAPE;
WE HAND HIM OVER.
BUT I'LL STILL BE
IN HERE.
GIVE HIM THE KEY!
NOW!
WHOO!
*
GET IN.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I HAVE TO FINISH THIS!
*

INMATES ARE NOT ONLY SURROUNDED
BY WALLS
BUT ALSO BY THEIR THOUGHTS,
DREAMS AND DEEPEST FEARS.

MEETING
WITH WARDEN MOIRA TAGGERT.
THE REST OF MY TEAM AND MYSELF

PRAEGER OUT.
*
*
THIS ISN'T
A SUICIDE.
WHO WAS HE?
NICK HARPER.
HE WAS SERVING 25 YEARS
WITHOUT POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE.
KILLED HIS WIFE
WITH A CROSSBOW.
HOW'D HE BREAK THESE CUFFS,
CLAIRE?
POSSIBLY
AN ADRENALINE SURGE
OR A DRUG-INDUCED RAGE.
I'LL DO A TOX SCREEN
WITH THE AUTOPSY.
HE HAS BEEN DEAD
AT LEAST 12 HOURS.
CAN'T BE.
THIS ENTIRE PRISON
WAS IN LOCK DOWN.
EVERY DOOR IS ELECTRONICALLY
MONITORED AND RACKED.
NOW, JUST GET THIS
OVER WITH.
WARDEN?
MAY I HAVE
A WORD?
LOOK, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH OUR BEING HERE,
TALK TO JUSTICE;
WE'RE HERE ON THEIR BEHALF.
FINE,
I'LL DO THAT.
GOOD.
MS. DONNER,
THIS IS
CHAPLIN HEWITT.
TERRIBLE THING.
YES, IT IS.
WITH YOUR PERMISSION I'D LIKE
TO OFFER COUNSELLING TO THE MEN.
I'D APPRECIATE THAT,
IRWIN.
THIS CAN BE DIFFICULT
TO DEAL WITH.
OF COURSE.
I'M SCHEDULING
A SPECIAL SERVICE.
YOU'RE WELCOME
TO ATTEND.
YES, I'D--
I DOUBT THEY'LL BE HERE
THAT LONG.
WARDEN,
WE'LL NEED TO DO
A FULL, UNDISTURBED EXAMINATION
OF THE CELL.
FINE;
WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED?
ACCESS
AND HELP SETTING UP
THE PRELIMINARY INTERVIEWS:
THE GUARDS,
HIS CELL MATE,
ANYONE WHO KNEW HIM.
WHY DON'T YOU USE MY OFFICE;
MAKE YOURSELF RIGHT AT HOME.
THANK YOU.
WE HAD ONE HELL OF A TIME
GETTING HARPER INTO THE HOLE.
I UNDERSTAND
HE KILLED A GUARD.
MARTY.
THE GUY
WAS 35.
2 KIDS
AND ANOTHER ONE ON THE WAY.
HARPER JUST LAUGHED.
BUT HE STOPPED LAUGHING
WHEN WE SHOVED HIM IN CELL 216.
SO THEN
JUSTICE WAS DONE?
YEAH.
BUT NOT BY ME.
YOU WANT ANSWERS,
TALK TO MY UNION REP.
MR. SIMEON,
NICK HARPER KILLED YOUR FRIEND,
CORRECT?
SOMEONE GOT TO HARPER.
HE HATED EVERYONE;
EVERYONE HATED HIM.
YOU DO THE MATH.
WHAT ABOUT
HIS CELL MATE?
YOU MEAN SANCHEZ?
WERE YOU AND NICK HARPER
FRIENDS?
YEAH.
RIGHT;
FRIENDS, YEAH.
UNTIL HE DECIDED TO CUT ME
FOR LOOKING AT HIM SIDEWAYS.
YOU WANNA SEE SOME MORE,
BABY?
THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A REASON
HE ATTACKED YOU.
NAH,
I KEEP OUT OF TROUBLE.
I DON'T MAKE
EYE CONTACT.
I DON'T HAVE
A GIRLFRIEND.
AND IF SOMEONE
TAKES MY DESSERT,
I'M NOT SO HUNGRY.
ACCORDING TO THIS,
YOU WERE SENT
TO SOLITARY
FOR HITTING A GUARD.
WHAT ABOUT IT?
YOU TELL ME.
ANYTHING UNUSUAL
ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE THERE?
DID NICK HAVE REASON
TO BE AFRAID?
HE'S DEAD ISN'T HE?
*
I DON'T KNOW,
RAY.
SOMETHING'S
NOT RIGHT.
LINDSAY, THANKS
FOR DOING THE GROUND WORK.
NOW, HOW ABOUT THOSE HOME MOVIES
YOU PROMISED?
WELL, THIS IS
WHAT LITTLE WE KNOW.
HARPER AND 2 GUARDS,
COBBLER AND SIMEON, GO IN.
PHYSICALLY,
HARPER SEEMS FINE.
THE GUARDS LEAVE.
THE NEXT MORNING
HARPER'S FOUND DEAD.
UNKNOWN.
CLAIRE'S DOING THE AUTOPSY
TONIGHT.
PRELIMINARY INTERVIEWS?
I HAVE TO TALK TO HIS SISTER
BUT I'VE HIT THE WALL.
EVERYBODY SHUTS UP ON A PRISON
KILLING, IT'S BAD FOR BUSINESS.
BUSINESS;
SURVIVAL.
WHAT ABOUT
THIS PLACE?
NEWGATE PRISON
WAS BUILT IN 1858.
A FIRE IN 1943 DESTROYED
MOST OF THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE
AND KILLED
OVER 100 INMATES.
A PRISON
AND A DEATH TRAP.
NICE KARMA.
WHEN REBUILT THE SURVIVING WING
BECAME SOLITARY.
WHERE HARPER DIED.
THAT'S RIGHT.
HOUDINI.
PETE?
HOW WAS
THE GREAT PHYSICS CONFERENCE?
IT WAS GREAT;
YEAH, GREAT.
WINKLER DID THE PRELIMINARY
ENVIRONMENTALS ON THE EVENT SITE
AND IT'S BEEN CLEANED.
YOU'RE KIDDING.
WHAT;
THE WARDEN ASSURED ME.
WELL, IT WAS CLEANED
AFTER THE BODY WAS TRANSFERRED.
DOWN TO PAINTING THE WALLS;
NO CHANCE OF GAINING
ANY PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
OR P.K. RESIDUAL ENERGIES.
NICE WORK,
LINDS.
IF YOU THINK YOU COULD--
HEY, HEY,
THAT'S ENOUGH.
LET'S PUT THIS DOWN
TO JET LAG
AND LONG HOURS.
RAY,
CHECK OUT THE GUARDS.
THIS LOOKS LIKE A BASIC MURDER
AND CONSPIRACY CASE.
WHEN CLAIRE'S AUTOPSY COMES IN,
WE'LL KNOW WHERE WE STAND.
WOW!
I LOVE ETHIOPIAN FOOD.
OKAY,
HOW DID YOU KNOW?
WELL,
ALL THIS PARANORMAL STUFF,
IT'S GIVEN ME
PSYCHIC POWERS.
IT SMELLS GREAT, BUT
LET ME FINISH HERE 1st, OKAY?
CLAIRE,
IT'S GONNA GET COLD.
I LIKE THINGS
COLD.
OF COURSE
YOU DO.
BONE SAW.
THE HAND-HELD
CIRCULAR SAW.
COULD YOU GET IT FOR ME,
PLEASE?
YEAH.
THANKS.
THAT'LL COME OUT.
HIS HEART'S HEALTHY.
MUST OF WORKED OUT.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT HIS LUNGS,
SHALL WE?
MY GOD.
WHAT IS IT?
C.W.P.
ALL THE BRONCHIAL TUBES
ARE CHOKED.
BLACK LUNG.
DROWNED IN DIRT
IN A LOCKED CELL, HUH?
PARANORMAL ENOUGH
FOR ME.
NO ONE
WANTS TO COOPERATE.
THE WARDEN'S STONEWALLING US;
THE INMATES DON'T GIVE A DAMN
AND THE GUARDS
ARE HIDING SOMETHING.
WHAT ABOUT LEVEL 2,
MAN ON THE INSIDE?
WE'VE GOT NOTHING.
WORKING UNDERCOVER MAY BE
OUR ONLY OPTION.
I'LL DO IT.
RAY, THEY'D SMELL EX-COP BEFORE
YOU WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR.
I'D DO IT,
BUT I DON'T HAVE
THE RIGHT LOOK.
I'LL DO IT.
PETER, YOU'RE NOT EXACTLY
TRAINED IN UNDERCOVER WORK.
NEWGATE ISN'T EXACTLY
A SCIENCE LAB.
BRING SOMEONE IN?
THEN WE LOSE MORE TIME
AND EVIDENCE.
LOOK GUYS,
I'M VOLUNTEERING.
DO YOU HAVE
A DEATH WISH?
IT IS A BIG RISK,
PETE.
FORGET IT.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST LET ME KNOW
WHAT YOU DECIDE.
SOMEBODY DIDN'T HAVE THEIR BRAN
THIS MORNING.
TIME OUT,
PETE.
YOU CALL THE SHOTS.
YOU DO WHAT YOU LIKE.
HEY!
WANNA TELL ME
WHAT THIS IS REALLY ALL ABOUT?
YOU REMEMBER
DON OLIVET?
YOUR PHYSICIST FRIEND.
HE PRESENTED HIS PAPER
ON THE UNIFIED FIELD THEORY
AT THE CONFERENCE.
YOU WERE WORKING TOGETHER;
YOU GET CREDIT?
OH YEAH, RIGHT AFTER HIS WIFE
AND HIS DOG.
OUCH.
6 YEARS AGO I CAME UP WITH
THE GERM FOR THIS THEORY.
IF I'D HAD TIME,
THAT WOULD BE MY NAME.
AH,
THE FAME THING.
I DON'T WANNA BE
A FOOTNOTE.
I COULD'VE STAYED ON BELL ISLAND
FOR ALL THAT.
HOW DOES GETTING YOURSELF KNIFED
IN A SHOWER HELP?
I JUST WANT TO MAKE
A CONTRIBUTION.
AND YOU KNOW,
UNDERCOVER'S THE ONLY WAY
TO OPEN THAT CASE UP.
YOU KNOW IT
AND I KNOW IT.
LOOK,
I WANT TO GO IN.
YOUR NAME
IS HOWARD BLACKSON.
NARCOTICS TRAFFICKING,
ILLEGAL
ARMS POSSESSION.
WE'VE GIVEN YOU, HOWIE,
A COLLEGE DEGREE.
I DIDN'T THINK YOU COULD FAKE
A 7th GRADE EDUCATION.
THANKS,
RAY.
PLEASE,
TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY.
DON'T SMILE.
DON'T EVEN
MAKE EYE CONTACT.
YES,
SIR.
BETTER.
AS PART OF YOUR COVER,
YOU MADE A DEAL, HOWIE,
HOPING FOR AN EARLY PAROLE.
GET A GRIP ON WHAT KILLED HIM,
WE PULL YOU OUT, UNDERSTOOD?
OKAY,
LOCK ME UP.
*
*
*
*
HEY;
ME WANT YOU!
LOOK AT THIS!
THIS IS "A" BLOCK,
CELL 29.
YOU WILL
MEMORIZE THIS
AS WELL AS
YOUR NUMBER,
H874.
BECAUSE THAT'S ALL YOU WILL BE
FOR THE NEXT 10 TO 20.
I TAKE IT YOU GUYS
ARE THE WELCOMING COMMITTEE.
OW!
WELCOME TO NEWGATE.
*
WE'VE TAPPED INTO
THE PRISON SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM.
WE'RE GETTING THEIR VIDEO FEED
AT SOURCE.
LET'S SEE
IF WE CAN FIND PETER.
IS THAT HIM?
THAT SCRUFFY
LOW-LIFE?
YEAH,
THAT'S HIM.
HEY.
I HEAR YOU'VE BEEN DUMPED
IN MY CELL.
SANCHEZ.
I GUESS THAT MAKES IT
OUR CELL, DOESN'T IT?
YEAH, WELL YOU JUST
KEEP TO YOURSELF, OKAY?
WE'LL GET ALONG
JUST FINE.
I UNDERSTAND
YOUR EX-ROOMMATE
WAS NICKY HARPER.
I DID SOME TIME IN KINGSTON
WITH NICKY.
WHERE IS HE;
IS HE AROUND?
NO.
HE MAKE PAROLE?
NO.
NO WAY.
WELL,
KNOWING NICKY,
HE PROBABLY STARTED IT.
NOBODY DESERVES TO DIE
LIKE THAT.
LIKE WHAT?
NOTHING,
HE JUST WENT TO SOLITARY.
SO WHAT; HE SPENT HALF HIS TIME
IN KINGSTON IN SOLITARY.
YOU WANT SOMETHING FROM ME,
YOU ASK ME NICE, ALRIGHT?
BLACKSON!
HOLD IT
RIGHT THERE.
THAT'S IT;
BREAK IT UP, LADIES.
BREAK IT UP.
SO, SO, SO.
I HEAR YOU GOT FRIENDS,
BLACKSON.
NO, SIR.
SO HOW ARE YOU AND SANCHEZ
GETTING ALONG?
HE KNOW
YOU'RE A SNITCH?
SHUT UP MAN,
YOU'LL GET ME KILLED.
YOU GOTTA
BE DESPERATE
FOR A DEAL
TO BE SNITCHING ON SANCHEZ.
ONLY PROBLEM
WITH SNITCHES,
THEY SOMETIMES
LOSE THEIR FOCUS.
YOU JUST KEEP YOUR EYE ON HIM,
RIGHT?
BACK OFF,
COBBLER.
JUST SHOWING HIM AROUND,
CHAPLAIN.
YOU ALRIGHT?
YEAH.
HE'LL JUST BE PISSING PINK
FOR A COUPLE WEEKS.
HE CAN HANDLE IT.
OUR GUARDS ARE UNDER PRESSURE;
THEY DON'T THINK THINGS THROUGH.
HE'LL BE
WITH ME.
WHATEVER YOU SAY,
CHAPLAIN.
WHAT YOU LOOKING AT,
GIRLFRIEND?
*
OKAY, GOT HIM.
HE'S SELLING IT
LIKE A PRO.
*
*
SMACK WILL KILL YOU
FASTER THAN CIGARETTES.
HARPER DIDN'T MIND ME
BUMMING HIS SMOKES.
THAT'S 'CAUSE
HARPER DIDN'T SMOKE.
WHAT HAPPENED
IN SOLITARY?
216 HAPPENED.
WHAT IS THIS 216?
YOU READY FOR THE HOLE,
SANCHEZ?
THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
NO.
THAT'S NOT MINE.
YOU LYING
LITTLE BASTARD.
LISTEN,
YOU NEED
A MAJOR ATTITUDINAL ADJUSTMENT,
MY FRIEND.
YOU MADE ME
LOOK BAD
IN FRONT OF
THE CHAPLAIN.
I DON'T LIKE
LOOKING BAD.
YOU MUST BE MISERABLE
A LOT.
*
I WANNA SEE
THE WARDEN!
I KNOW MY RIGHTS!
WHATEVER YOU SAY.
*
*
SWEET DREAMS.
*
*
OKAY.
SHOW ME
WHAT YOU GOT.
*
*
*
HOWARD.
HOWARD,
HOWARD.
IT'S CHAPLAIN HEWITT.
I BROUGHT YOU
SOME THINGS.
HOW LONG
HAVE I BEEN IN THERE?
4 HOURS.
SOLITARY
CAN BE DISORIENTING.
I COULD HAVE SWORN...
LESS THAN A MINUTE.
I READ
YOUR RAP SHEET.
I KNOW THAT
YOU'RE A WELL-EDUCATED MAN.
YOU CAN USE THIS TIME
CONSTRUCTIVELY.
DON'T WASTE THE NEXT 20 HOURS
COUNTING THE STONES ON THE WALLS
OR TALKING
TO COCKROACHES.
DON'T LOOK AROUND YOU,
LOOK WITHIN.
CHART OUT
THE PATTERNS OF YOUR LIFE
THAT BROUGHT YOU
TO WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW.
THANK YOU,
CHAPLAIN.
GOOD LUCK;
DOOR.
NO WAIT.
*
*
*
*
KEVIN?
JASON?
WELCOME HOME,
AXE.
*
THERE'S NOWHERE TO RUN,
MAN.
*
*
HOME SWEET HOME.
IN!
I'M NOT HALLUCINATING.
HEY MAN,
QUIT TALKING TO YOURSELF.
THAT'S THE 1st SIGN
THAT YOU'RE GOING NUTS!
YOU REMEMBER
THAT NIGHT?
TOO MUCH BEER,
A LITTLE FOG.
YOU MUST REMEMBER, AXE,
YOU WERE DRIVING.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA BAIL ON US
THIS TIME.
*
FRESH ROAD POP.
*
BLACKSON.
BLACKSON!
YOU HEAR ME?
WHO'S BLACKSON?
HE MUST BE
IN SHOCK.
HOW LONG?
24 HOURS; NEXT TIME
YOU WON'T GET SO LUCKY.
TAKE HIM
TO HIS CELL.
YOU HEARD HER,
LET'S GO.
HEY,
WHERE'S YOU GET
THE BEER?
WHAT?
YOU REEK,
MAN.
WHERE WERE YOU?
216.
MADE IT OUT;
THAT'S GOOD.
NOT EVERYBODY DOES.
WHEN YOU WERE
IN THERE....
DID YOU SEE
A TREE
IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS FIELD
WITH A NOOSE HANGING OFF OF IT?
YEAH.
WAS THERE A--
WHAT ELSE
DID YOU SEE?
IT WOULDN'T MEAN ANYTHING
TO YOU.
WHEN I WAS A KID,
I USED TO HAVE THESE NIGHTMARES.
THERE WAS THIS THING
UNDER MY BED.
IF I PUT MY FEET ON THE FLOOR,
IT'D GRAB ME AND PULL ME UNDER.
I WAS SO SCARED,
I PISSED THE BED.
THAT WHAT YOU SAW?
*
YEAH.
*
HE SHOULD HAVE CALLED IN
BY NOW.
HE'S IN THERE
SOMEWHERE.
THANKS FOR THAT,
RAY.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE GOT
TALKED INTO THIS.
I'LL 2nd THAT.
I THINK IT'S TIME
HE HAD A VISITOR.
*
YOU GET 5 MINUTES,
BLACKSON.
HI, DAD.
HOW'S THE APPEAL
COMING?
LAWYER SAYS
HE'S WORKING ON IT.
WHY DIDN'T YOU
CALL IN?
I WAS
IN SOLITARY.
YOU ALRIGHT?
ANTON,
CELL 216--
I WAS BACK
ON BELL ISLAND.
KEVIN AND JASON
WERE THERE, TOO.
I WAS DRIVING
THE CAR THEY DIED IN.
THAT CELL KNOWS
THAT I KILLED THEM, ANTON.
I MEAN, WE WERE ALL DRUNK,
BUT I WAS THE ONE DRIVING.
PETER, DISORIENTATION
IS PERFECTLY COMMON--
LISTEN TO ME.
I LIVED THROUGH A NIGHTMARE
BUT IT WAS REAL.
I WAS THERE.
SANCHEZ EXPERIENCED IT, TOO,
AND SO DID HARPER.
IT'S ALL TIED INTO
CELL 216.
PETER,
WE CAN PULL YOU OUT.
NO.
I HAD A FLASH.
I HAD A MOMENT OF UNDERSTANDING
IN THERE.
IF I CAN GET PAST MY FEARS,
ANTON,
THERE ARE ANSWERS
TO BIG QUESTIONS.
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH EINSTEIN'S
UNIFIED FIELD THEORY?
VAGUELY.
HE WORKED
FOR 30 YEARS
TO UNIFY THE 4 MAIN FORCES
THAT SHAPE THE UNIVERSE:
GRAVITY,
ELECTROMAGNETISM,
THE STRONG FORCE
AND THE WEAK FORCE.
YOU CAN UNDERSTAND
EVERYTHING.
HOW THE UNIVERSE WAS CREATED;
HOW IT WILL END.
PETER--
EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE,
EVERYTHING.
YOU WERE UPSTAGED,
IT'S NATURAL.
EVERYTHING WORKS
IN THE LAW OF PHYSICS.
IT COMES TOGETHER
IN THERE.
IT'S THE UNIFIED
FIELD THEORY.
I HAVE TO
GO BACK IN THERE.
THE CELL
HAS THE ANSWERS.
PETER--
BYE, DAD.
*
*
CHAPLAIN.
YOU COMMAND A LOT OF RESPECT
AROUND HERE, CHAPLAIN.
I TRY
TO EARN IT.
I'M GONNA TRY TO EARN YOURS,
TOO, HOWARD.
HAVE YOU BEEN SAVED?
IT'S A LITTLE LATE
FOR ME.
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE
FOR SALVATION.
YOU CAN LOOK AT PRISON
2 WAYS:
AS A PLACE FOR PUNISHMENT
OR PENITENCE.
GOODBYE.
MAY GOD HAVE MERCY
ON YOUR SOUL.
6 INMATE FATALITIES
IN THE LAST 2 YEARS.
4 OF THEM
DON'T TRACK.
A DROWNING,
A FALL
AND SMOKE INHALATION.
AND ONE APPARENT SUICIDE
BY HANGING.
CORONER'S INQUEST?
NOT EVEN
AN AUTOPSY.
JUSTICE MUST HAVE
BEEN ON THIS PLACE A WHILE.
NICE OF THEM TO FILL US IN
ON ALL THE DETAILS.
OKAY,
OUR LATEST VICTIM
HAS COAL DUST IN HIS LUNGS.
HARPER GREW UP IN CAPE BRETON,
THAT'S MINING COUNTRY.
WE'RE LOSING PETER.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I THOUGHT HE WAS SUFFERING
FROM SENSORY DEPRAVATION.
BUT THEN
HE STARTED DESCRIBING CELL 216
AS A KIND OF
EMOTIONAL VORTEX,
ABSORBING AND THEN REFLECTING
YOUR WORST FEAR.
LIKE BEING
BURIED ALIVE.
BET THE DUST IN HARPER'S LUNGS
MATCHES CAPE BRETON MINES?
WE'RE GETTING PETE OUT.
I DON'T THINK
HE'LL GO.
WHY NOT;
MATT,
HE'S DELUSIONAL.
HE THINKS HE'S ON THE BRINK
OF A DISCOVERY.
HE'S DETERMINED
TO SEE IT THROUGH.
TILL HE DIES
LIKE HARPER?
WE'RE PULLING HIM OUT,
NOW.
ANTON,
I WAS BACK ON BELL ISLAND.
KEVIN AND JASON WERE THERE,
TOO...
HE'S NOT
A#A VERY EXPERIENCED UNDERCOVER.
THE BOY FORGOT THAT ALL CALLS
ARE BEING RECORDED.
MAN,
IT'S OVER.
HE WASN'T AFTER SAHEZ,
HE WAS AFTER US.
NOW, NOW, CALM DOWN,
ALRIGHT?
HE'S AN INFORMANT,
SO ANYTHING GOES.
*
*
YOU BETTER
WATCH WHAT YOU SAY
TO YOUR NEW BUDDY.
WHAT?
YOU GOT A SNITCH IN YOUR CAGE,
SANCHEZ.
YEAH, SCREW YOU,
SIMEON.
I'M SERIOUS,
HE CUT A DEAL.
HE'S HERE TO BUST YOU
ON A HOMICIDE.
*
WHAT ARE YOU,
SOME KIND OF GENIUS?
NO.
WHEN I--
IF I GO BACK INTO 216,
THESE FORMULAS
WILL HELP KEEP ME SANE.
YOU WON'T MAKE IT OUT
AGAIN.
I JUST GOTTA HOLD ON
TO REALITY.
WHEN I WAS A KID,
I'D WAKE UP FROM MY NIGHTMARE
AND STARE OUT THE WINDOW.
THERE WAS THIS BUILDING
WITH A SIGN ON IT.
IT WAS NOTHING SPECIAL
BUT IT WAS REAL.
IT WAS LIKE
A LIFE LINE.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU TALK TOO MUCH.
*
WHY DON'T WE TAKE
A STROLL?
HOW'D YOU GET HIM IN
SO QUICK?
I MUST HAVE PULLED IN
20 YEARS OF FAVOURS.
WHAT'S
GOING ON?
NICE JOB
BUT THE ASSIGNMENT'S OVER.
WE'RE
PULLING YOU OUT.
NO; I'M TOO CLOSE,
I CAN FEEL IT.
YEAH,
ANTON MENTIONED THAT.
I'M GOING BACK IN.
YOU'RE IN
OVER YOUR HEAD.
WHY; BECAUSE YOU WON'T BE AROUND
TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO?
YOU MUST BE
LOVING THIS.
JUST THAT PART.
NEEDS A TRIP TO THE INFIRMARY,
HE'S GOT A BIT OF A BELLY ACHE.
YOU'RE
THE NEW GUY.
YOU'RE
THE OLD GUY.
YOU'RE
THE SCRAWNY GUY.
YOU'RE THE BIG,
INTIMIDATING GUY.
WARDEN
WANTS TO SEE HIM.
NOW!
WELL, I'LL TAKE HIM,
NOW!
FORGET IT;
LET'S GO.
WHERE'S HE TAKING HIM?
SOLITARY'S
THE OTHER WAY.
DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL
ANY BETTER.
HEY,
WHERE WE GOING?
JUST
A LITTLE DETOUR.
*
*
*
YOU READY TO YABBER
OR DO WE KEEP GOING?
HEY,
THAT'S ENOUGH!
GET AWAY
FROM HIM!
THE WARDEN AND I
WILL TALK ABOUT THIS.
WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT,
BLACKSON?
YOU CAN TELL ME.
MY NAME IS PETER AXON.
PETER AXON.
I DON'T
UNDERSTAND YOU.
I'M NOT
A PRISONER.
I'M A SCIENTIST.
I WORK FOR
THE OFFICE OF SCIENTIFIC
INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH.
YOU MIGHT HAVE
A CONCUSSION.
NO, NO.
YOU CALL
LINDSAY DONNER.
SHE'LL VOUCH FOR ME, ALRIGHT;
O.S.I.R.
LINDSAY DONNER.
CELL NUMBER 216,
IT KILLED HARPER.
I KNOW IT DID.
YOU WERE IN THAT ROOM.
HOW DID YOU AVOID
YOUR PUNISHMENT?
DID YOU REPENT?
WERE YOU SAVED?
COBBLER,
SIMEON!
NO.
NO!
NO!
YOU SHOULD OF SAID
YOU WERE A COP.
THEY ALWAYS MAKE A BIGGER FUSS
WHEN ONE OF THEIRS GOES MISSING.
NO,
AHHHH!
COME ON.
THERE HE IS;
DAMN IT!
MY GOD!
THEY'VE GOT HIM
IN SOLITARY.
THE FIRE THAT DESTROYED
THE PENITENTIARY STARTED HERE.
110 MEN BURNED ALIVE.
THINK OF IT.
SOMETIMES I FEEL THE PAIN
OF LOST SOULS THROUGH THE WALLS.
YOU CAN STILL SMELL IT,
IF IT GETS DAMP ENOUGH.
*
O.S.I.R.
THEIR FEAR
AND EVIL,
CONCENTRATED
IN THIS ROOM.
FORTUNATELY,
SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE,
THIS HORRIBLE PLACE HAS SERVED
A HIGHER PURPOSE.
O.S.--
O.S.I.R.
IT PUNISHES
AND THEN IT LEADS
TO SALVATION.
GOOD NIGHT,
PETER AXON.
COME ON, MATT,
WHERE ARE YOU?
HOW'D YOU LIKE TO EARN
SOME TIME OFF FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR?
*
E SQUARED EQUALS
C SQUARED...
COME ON!
I'M WAITING!
*
LET'S ROCK AND ROLL!
WHOO!
*
PRISONER
NEEDS TIME IN THE HOLE.
YOU TRIED THAT,
IT DIDN'T WORK.
*
BROTHERS.
PETER!
*
I'M NOT BACKING DOWN
THIS TIME.
OPEN THE DOOR!
IT'S OUT OF MY HANDS.
YOU HEARD HIM,
GIVE HIM
THE KEY;
SANCHEZ,
EVERYTHING'S ON TAPE;
WE HAND HIM OVER.
BUT I'LL STILL BE
IN HERE.
GIVE HIM THE KEY!
NOW!
WHOO!
*
GET IN.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I HAVE TO FINISH THIS!
*
CASE MANAGER'S FINAL ENTRY.
CHAPLAIN HEWITT AND LUIS SANCHEZ
REMAIN MISSING.
WITH THE CHAPLAIN'S
DISAPPEARANCE
ALL PARANORMAL ACTIVITY
HAS CEASED.
WARDEN MOIRA TAGGERT AND
7 GUARDS ARE UNDER SUSPENSION
PENDING CRIMINAL CHARGES.
DOCTOR ANTON HENDRICKS IS COUNSELING
PETER AXON'S EXPERIENCES WITHIN CELL 216.
PERHAPS PETER'S SEARCH FOR ANSWERS
HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN.
PRAEGER OUT.
