49. Like I said, I saw what he did to that
guy, and I don't want to be that guy.Copy !req
50. What have you got to hide?Copy !req
51. Nothing. But in the four years
since we had the riot,Copy !req
52. life around here's
been rough.Copy !req
53. Attitudes are just starting
to settle down.Copy !req
54. You bring in the TV cameras,
you're gonna stir the situation up.Copy !req
55. Well, I've spoken
to the commissioner, and he's agreed.Copy !req
56. - Then I'll call the Governor.
- He also agreed.Copy !req
57. Well, if you already had permission,
if you already knew it was a done deal,Copy !req
58. - why'd you even ask me?
- To get your honest reaction.Copy !req
59. First we're gonna do
an overview of life in Oswald,Copy !req
60. then we're gonna follow
one new prisoner coming inCopy !req
61. and we will close
with Jack EldridgeCopy !req
62. spending the night
locked in a cell.Copy !req
63. - Spending the night?
- Yeah, just him and one real inmate.Copy !req
64. By the way, when does
the great man get here?Copy !req

I'm gonna have a crew hereCopy !req
67. while I do
preliminary interviewsCopy !req
68. with you staff members
and as many prisoners as possible.Copy !req
69. Please understand, our goal
is to show the audienceCopy !req
70. how incredibly difficult
your jobs areCopy !req
71. and to kick
"60 Minutes" in the ass.Copy !req
72. That's all.Copy !req
73. Tomorrow and for several days,Copy !req
74. a television crew
will be walking the hallsCopy !req
75. taping a piece on Oz
for their news magazine.Copy !req
76. Quiet down! Quiet!Copy !req
77. Now I know when the cameras
are rollingCopy !req
78. you guys will run through
your bag of tricks— plead innocent,Copy !req
79. run scams, cry foul,Copy !req
80. or whatever else you think
is gonna get you some attention,Copy !req
81. get your faces on TV.Copy !req
82. But let me warn you,Copy !req
83. when those cameras are gone,Copy !req
84. I'll still be here.Copy !req

86. and I won't forget
what you say or what you do.Copy !req

89. I gotta think

96. You gonna sit down
with those news people?Copy !req
97. Yes, I am.Copy !req
98. I've got a lot to say about
the conditions up in here.Copy !req
99. - What if they ask about Adebisi?
- Adebisi.Copy !req
100. The court found me innocent
of his death by way of self-defense.Copy !req
101. Even McManus testified
on my behalf.Copy !req
102. But still, the reporters—Copy !req
103. they're bound
to dig up old bonesCopy !req
104. and make us Muslims
look bad.Copy !req
105. Arif, I am not afraid.Copy !req
106. - We gonna be on TV?
- I am.Copy !req
107. But if you see a camera, you duck
out of sight, all right?Copy !req
108. - Why?
- You don't remember Jack Eldridge?Copy !req
109. - No.
- Well, I do.Copy !req
110. He fucked us over, Cyril.Copy !req
111. He fucked us real bad.Copy !req
112. This might be
our chance to get even.Copy !req
113. Go to sleep.Copy !req
114. Hey, girl!Copy !req

132. Mr. White, you will be serving
75 years for murder.Copy !req
133. - Is that correct?
- Look, I ain't even know the bitch.Copy !req
134. I mean, why the fuck—
why would I shoot her?Copy !req
135. Well, she was the prime witness
at your cousin's murder trial.Copy !req
136. See, your mistake
was not killing that little girl, too.Copy !req
137. You think?Copy !req
138. Shit.Copy !req

141. Jake Willard,
escort Mr. White back in line!Copy !req
142. Get out of my face!Copy !req
143. Hey, hey!
See what I'm saying?Copy !req
144. I'm gettin' hosed up in here!
Get your hands off me, motherfucker!Copy !req
145. Y'all don't know
who you're fucking with.Copy !req
146. So, 500 prisoners
arrive each week?Copy !req
147. - Uh-huh.
- And how many are released?Copy !req
148. Not enough.Copy !req
149. This is Emerald City,
also "Em City,"Copy !req
150. the experimental cell block
started by Tim McManus five years ago.Copy !req
151. In Em City, the prisoners are given
a lot more leeway than the rest of Oz.Copy !req
152. Hey, baby,
how about a little head?Copy !req
153. Hey, Hoyt, move along!
Jesus.Copy !req
154. Okay, the first one
I want to talk with is Tobias Beecher.Copy !req
155. Um, all right,
this way.Copy !req
156. Okay, Mr. Beecher.
The way this works is that you and lCopy !req
157. are just gonna talk
very informally, no pressure,Copy !req
158. and based on our conversation,
we'll decideCopy !req
159. if you get interviewed
by Jack Eldridge.Copy !req
160. - So the camera's not on now?
- No, yeah, it's on.Copy !req
161. - But we can turn it off if you want.
- I don't care.Copy !req
162. Okay, you came to Oswald in 1997
as a result of a DUlCopy !req
163. - vehicular manslaughter conviction.
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
164. Prior to that you were
a successful lawyerCopy !req
165. from a prominent family
with a wife and two children.Copy !req
166. How has being in prison
changed you?Copy !req
167. Well, describe some of your experiences
since coming to Oswald.Copy !req
168. Describe?
Hmm...Copy !req
169. ever read
"The Book of Job"?Copy !req
170. According to the file, at one point
your had your arms and legs brokenCopy !req
171. - and in another you were stabbed.
- Yeah.Copy !req
172. You wanna see the scar?Copy !req
173. You once tied a fellow inmate
down and defecated on his face.Copy !req
174. - Yeah.
- Is that what it takes to survive?Copy !req
175. I'm not the man I was.Copy !req
176. Or maybe now I'm the man
I always was and never knew.Copy !req
177. All these incidents
involved two other prisoners,Copy !req
178. Christopher Keller
and Vernon Schillinger.Copy !req
179. Tell me about your
relationship with them.Copy !req
180. We sing
in the choir together.Copy !req
181. What's going on?Copy !req
182. Well, either he stole drugs
or he owes for drugs.Copy !req
183. So there a lot
of drugs in Oswald?Copy !req
184. Define "a lot."Copy !req
185. Well, how many people in this unit
use heroin on a regular basis?Copy !req
186. I don't know.Copy !req
187. One in two, one in three,
one in 20?Copy !req
188. I don't know.Copy !req
189. Okay, how about sex?Copy !req
190. - Is that an invitation?
- Sh— right.Copy !req
191. So, a lot
of homosexual activity?Copy !req
192. Well, by homosexual,Copy !req
193. do you mean deep-rooted love
of one man for anotherCopy !req
194. or guys fucking guys
in the ass?Copy !req
195. - Ass-fucking.
- Shit happens.Copy !req
196. - And the authorities?
- Frown on it,Copy !req
197. But they do
their darnedest to stop it.Copy !req
198. - As they do on the drug taking.
- Yes.Copy !req
199. - And have you?
- What?Copy !req
200. Fucked a guy up the ass?
Gotten fucked?Copy !req
201. Well, if I had,
why would I say so to you?Copy !req
202. - Tobias Beecher.
- What about him?Copy !req
203. I don't know, you tell me.Copy !req
204. We sing
in the choir together.Copy !req
205. That camera's making me so nervous,
I can't even shuffle.Copy !req
206. Give me the cards.Copy !req
207. Do I look okay?Copy !req
208. You look like you.Copy !req
209. Oh, shit.Copy !req
210. When I was on TV
after I escaped,Copy !req
211. I couldn't believe how bad I looked.
My skin was gray.Copy !req
212. Gentlemen, I'm looking for some
background informationCopy !req
213. on a Tobias Beecher's relationship
with Vernon Schillinger—Copy !req
214. Get the fuck away from me!Copy !req
215. Okay, relax, Busmalis.
Come on, let's talk to somebody else.Copy !req
216. - Come on, come on, come on.
- We'll go over there.Copy !req
217. That's nice.Copy !req
218. Now all of America's
gonna see you acting like an asshole.Copy !req
219. What do you want?Copy !req
220. That news bitch was asking
an awful lot of questions.Copy !req
221. What did you tell her about me?Copy !req
222. Get the fuck
out of here.Copy !req
223. You tell her
anything about us,Copy !req
224. you tell her anything
about anything—Copy !req
225. And what, huh?Copy !req
226. What are you
gonna do?Copy !req
227. Shakedown!Copy !req
228. Later.Copy !req
229. - What up?
- Shut up, you asshole.Copy !req
230. Get the fuck
outta here.Copy !req
231. What do we have here?Copy !req
232. Come on, Briggs,
I'm taking your ass to the hole.Copy !req
233. I think
I take drugs becauseCopy !req
234. I know
they're destructive.Copy !req
235. I feel
unworthy of love.Copy !req
236. - Oh, Christ, what a load of shit.
- Tobias.Copy !req
237. No, well, look at him being all sincere
and cuddly because of them.Copy !req
238. - Keller's nothing but a poseur.
- Shut the fuck up, Beecher.Copy !req
239. Shut up, Beecher.
You're spoiling this for everybody.Copy !req
240. Oh, yeah, O'Reily? Oh, right, you
and Keller are butt-buddies now.Copy !req
241. Let me see, when did
that happen? When who died?Copy !req
242. - What you fuckin' sayin', huh?
- That's enough now, stop it!Copy !req
243. Turn that camera off.
Turn it off right now.Copy !req
244. Now! Turn that light off.
Off!Copy !req
245. Tobias Beecher
and Christopher Keller.Copy !req
246. - What about them?
- There's a lot of bad blood.Copy !req
247. There's a lot
of spilled blood.Copy !req
248. Why?Copy !req
249. The men in Oz
are very distressed—Copy !req
250. mentally, physically
and morally.Copy !req
251. Christopher Keller, for example,
is a sexual predator.Copy !req
252. So does that factor into
his problems with Beecher?Copy !req
253. You know, I'm really
not comfortableCopy !req
254. specifically talking
about these cases.Copy !req
255. Okay.Copy !req
256. Have you ever
been harassed?Copy !req
257. Have you ever been sexually threatened
by one of the inmates?Copy !req
258. No.Copy !req
259. No.Copy !req
260. Hey, what are we gonna
do about Beecher?Copy !req
261. - Do?
- You heard the guy in rehab.Copy !req
262. The fucker almost goes public about us
killing Shemin and Browne?Copy !req
263. He's playing around.
He would never spill all the beans.Copy !req
264. Are you're sure of this?Copy !req
265. Just his way of saying
that he still loves me.Copy !req
266. You know, the two of you
are just so fucked up, man.Copy !req
267. Whoa. Don't you hurt
Beecher, O'Reily.Copy !req
268. if you hurt Beecher,
I'm gonna have to hurt you.Copy !req
269. Don't make any threats, K-Boy.
Might put me in a bad fucking mood.Copy !req
270. Vern, check her out.Copy !req
271. - She's not my type.
- Your type?Copy !req
272. She's got a pussy,
ain't she?Copy !req
273. Yeah, and like you're gonna
get anywhere near her pussy.Copy !req
274. Unit B is your typical
cell block.Copy !req
275. - How many units are built like this?
- Uh, 10.Copy !req
276. - Hey, Vern, you're up.
- Him? What about me?Copy !req
277. I give good story.Copy !req
278. - Yeah?
- Yeah.Copy !req
279. - Maybe later.
- All right, this way, come on.Copy !req
280. So, you're
a white supremacist?Copy !req
281. You people
in the media,Copy !req
282. you love to label us.Copy !req
283. I know no matter what
I say here,Copy !req
284. you're gonna trim it
and make me look like a monster.Copy !req
285. But, I'm no monster.Copy !req
286. I'm a widowerCopy !req
287. whose first son
died tragically.Copy !req
288. I'm gonna
be a grandpa.Copy !req
289. I believe in family...Copy !req
290. In America...Copy !req
291. In God.Copy !req
292. - Does that sound evil to you?
- Now your other son,Copy !req
293. Hank,Copy !req
294. has been accused of kidnapping
Tobias Beecher's childrenCopy !req
295. and of murdering
his son Gary.Copy !req
296. The FBI believes
you orchestrated the crime.Copy !req
297. That sounds
pretty evil to me.Copy !req
298. Lady, you don't want
to be having opinionsCopy !req
299. about things that you could not
possibly understand.Copy !req
300. Oh, if I didn't know you were such
a fine, upstanding citizen,Copy !req
301. I might consider
that a threat.Copy !req
302. Yo, I got something to say.
Schillinger's a pussy.Copy !req
303. Hey, sit down.Copy !req
304. Shut your face, nigger.Copy !req
305. Hey, stop filming!Copy !req
306. Keep shooting!
Keep shooting!Copy !req
307. - Keep shooting!
- Move it, move it!Copy !req
308. Move it, that's it.Copy !req
309. So this Beecher story,
you think it has legs?Copy !req
310. Oh, yeah. Usually the less
people are willing to say,Copy !req
311. the better the story.
I just gotta figure a way in.Copy !req
312. Each prisoner is assigned
a number and photographCopy !req
313. and then they're sent
to their respective units.Copy !req
314. - And White's going to Em City, right?
- Yeah, God help us.Copy !req
315. Here you go,
home sweet home.Copy !req
316. Come on, let's go.Copy !req
317. Yo.Copy !req
318. What, you crippled
or something?Copy !req
319. No, I'm physically challenged.Copy !req
320. - Well, you got any tits?
- No.Copy !req
321. I don't do drugs no more.Copy !req
322. - Well, you ain't no faggot or nothing?
- No!Copy !req
323. Thank God for that.Copy !req
324. Can't stand
no motherfucking faggots.Copy !req
325. Drive me crazy.Copy !req
326. - So, what now?
- It's nighty-night.Copy !req
327. Lights out!Copy !req
328. - Hey.
- The Fourth Estate is gone?Copy !req
329. - Yeah, for today.
- Any problems?Copy !req
330. Well, we had a minor skirmish
in Em City and a major battle in Unit B.Copy !req
331. - They get everything on tape?
- Oh, yeah.Copy !req
332. - Did our guys respond?
- Both incidences over in a flash.Copy !req
333. You know, I don't care if the prisoners
look bad, I just don't want us to.Copy !req
334. Well, she seems to be
mostly focusing on Beecher.Copy !req
335. - His is a cautionary tale.
- Let's hope Logan doesn't dig too deep.Copy !req
336. I wouldn't want her
uncovering any skeletons.Copy !req
337. You mean Adebisi?Copy !req
338. Among others.Copy !req
339. Television is a medium
rarely well done.Copy !req
340. My Uncle Bilbo
said that.Copy !req
341. Okay, somebody
said it first,Copy !req
342. but my Uncle Bilbo
was the first one to say it to me.Copy !req
343. Now, don't get me wrong,Copy !req
344. I love watching the news on TV—
Dan and Tom and PeterCopy !req
345. and maybe a little Jim Lehrer
if I'm feeling brainy.Copy !req
346. I flip back and forth
between news showsCopy !req
347. in hopes of catching
the same story,Copy !req
348. 'cause each news show tells a story
in a different way.Copy !req
349. ABC leaves out a factCopy !req
350. that CBS makes a big deal of.Copy !req
351. CBS interviews its expertCopy !req
352. who totally disagrees
with NBC's expert.Copy !req
353. NBC goes in depth,Copy !req
354. while ABC gives the same story
five seconds air-time.Copy !req
355. You see, I figure if I catch
all three versions,Copy !req
356. maybe combined, I get a little
taste of the truth.Copy !req
357. Count!Copy !req
358. 88P728;Copy !req
359. 96J522;Copy !req
360. 98A498;Copy !req
361. 92M220.Copy !req
362. Yo, yo, dog.
Dog, I need your help.Copy !req
363. C'mon, man.
You know me, man.Copy !req
364. Why you wanna do me
like that, dawg?Copy !req
365. Omar, my man.Copy !req
366. Jesus Christ, you're looking
a little crispy there, brother.Copy !req
367. - I gotta get some tits.
- Wow.Copy !req
368. You know, times are lean
right now. The hacks,Copy !req
369. they're doing too good a job
keeping that shit out of Oz.Copy !req
370. Trick is you gotta
know the right person.Copy !req
371. You have
a good day.Copy !req
372. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.Copy !req
373. Look, I been
to every nigger up in here.Copy !req
374. Look, they think
I'm a nark, man.Copy !req
375. - Motherfucker, they don't know me.
- Hey, shh.Copy !req
376. Abracadabra.Copy !req
377. Now what you want
in exchange for this?Copy !req
378. I ain't gonna suck your dick
or nothing like that.Copy !req
379. Hey, I'm no
fucking fag.Copy !req
380. I just might need you to take care
of a little business for me.Copy !req
381. - That's all.
- I got no problem with that.Copy !req
382. Knock yourself out.Copy !req
383. Hypocrisy.
Hyp-ocrisy.Copy !req
384. That's what this is.Copy !req
385. They strip me
of my clothes, of my rights,Copy !req
386. they strip me
of my self-respect.Copy !req
387. All 'cause they say I broke the rules—
trafficking in illegals.Copy !req
388. But they— they more guilty
than I could ever be.Copy !req
389. Fucking uppity-ups.Copy !req
390. See, they don't want
us in there.Copy !req
391. Adebisi singing, snorting, suck.
And when his blood ran out,Copy !req
392. when his blood got spilled,
the truth ran out,Copy !req
393. and the wall of lies
got built.Copy !req
394. After Said greased him, fucking hacks
act like he ain't never breathed in.Copy !req
395. And the lies got buried
with his number.Copy !req
396. - You saying there was a cover-up?
- Yeah.Copy !req
397. Sheets and blankets— enough to cover
up all them high and mighties.Copy !req
398. - The warden, too?
- The warden more than most!Copy !req
399. - All right, come on, that's enough.
- You see?Copy !req
400. They're still trying
to shush me.Copy !req
401. - You got any evidence to back this up?
- Yeah.Copy !req
402. Yeah, there's a videotape.Copy !req
403. Adebisi, he documented it,
just like you're doing right here.Copy !req
404. You know what I'm saying?
Right up until the fade.Copy !req
405. You ask O'Reily,
you ask said, you ask—Copy !req
406. - All right, shut up. Come on, let's go.
- He's got something to say.Copy !req
407. He's always got something to say.
Come on, let's go.Copy !req
408. - Hypocrisy!
- Yeah, okay.Copy !req
409. - Conspiracy!
- Right.Copy !req
410. Take a nap.Copy !req
411. Jack...Copy !req
412. I found our story.Copy !req
413. I'm not sure about
all the details yet,Copy !req
414. But something happened
surrounding the death of an inmate.Copy !req
415. Yeah, and evidently
it's on videotape.Copy !req
416. Well, the sooner
you get here, the better.Copy !req
417. Officer Murphy—Copy !req
418. You ready?
You're gonna love death row.Copy !req
419. Yeah, rather than do that,Copy !req
420. I wanna go back and interview
a couple of prisoners again.Copy !req
421. Okay.Copy !req
422. - And I'd like to do so in private.
- Private?Copy !req
423. - Without you present.
- That's not gonna happen.Copy !req
424. Don't worry,
I'll get permission.Copy !req
425. She asked to see Said and O'Reily again?
What's she want with them?Copy !req
426. Murphy thinks it might have
to do with Adebisi's death.Copy !req
427. - But O'Reily wasn't involved with that.
- I know.Copy !req
428. - I miss Mama.
- So do l.Copy !req
429. Why'd she have
to die, Ryan?Copy !req
430. I told you a thousand times,
Cyril, the cancer ate her up.Copy !req
431. Hey, Miss Sally's on TV.Copy !req
432. Why don't you
go watch, okay?Copy !req
433. Please?Copy !req
434. - All right.
- Okay.Copy !req
435. How's it going, cuz?Copy !req
436. - I need some more tits.
- Whoa.Copy !req
437. I ain't got
a never-ending supply, you know?Copy !req
438. Just a little bit, just till I feel
a little better, you know?Copy !req
439. You know, it's too bad
you got here when you did.Copy !req
440. Six months ago, we had tits coming out
of our fucking asses.Copy !req
441. When this guy Adebisi
ran the operation,Copy !req
442. - the well never ran dry.
- What happened to him?Copy !req
443. He got shanked.
But that's not the point.Copy !req
444. When he died,Copy !req
445. the spicks and the wops,
they took over everything.Copy !req
446. And between you,
me, and this sink,Copy !req
447. they're doing
a half-assed job.Copy !req
448. - How come brothers don't organize?
- They should.Copy !req
449. They need a leader. I mean, right now
all they got is this fool, Poet.Copy !req
450. - He's a complete come-stain.
- I know, I used to run my block.Copy !req
451. Well, there you go.
Maybe you should step up,Copy !req
452. - Huh?
- Yeah.Copy !req
453. Come here.Copy !req
454. - Have some.
- Shit yeah.Copy !req
455. You see, to get anybody's
attention around this place,Copy !req
456. - you gotta do something large.
- Large?Copy !req
457. Yeah, like Adebisi.
He was large and in charge,Copy !req
458. bigger than life,
feared by one and all.Copy !req
459. Yeah, well, that's what I want.
I want 'em to fear me.Copy !req
460. Then you gotta
kill somebody,Copy !req
461. but not just anybody.
You gotta go huge...Copy !req
462. monumental.Copy !req
463. Somebody...Copy !req
464. - famous?
- Like who?Copy !req
465. All right, who's next?
Come on through, lady.Copy !req
466. Step over here,
open your purse. Next!Copy !req
467. Put all metal objects
in there. And you're visiting?Copy !req
468. Peter Thorpe.Copy !req
469. Go through again.
And your name is?Copy !req
470. - Helen Keating.
- And the watch.Copy !req
471. Christ, what do you think I'm trying
to smuggle in, a fucking bazooka?Copy !req
472. Oh, officer,
can you, please...Copy !req
473. Ah, Tom.
Listen, he's okay. Let him in.Copy !req
474. Oh, why didn't you say?
I'm a big fan.Copy !req
475. Yeah. Oy, oy!
Wake up.Copy !req
476. - Jack?
- Yeah?Copy !req
477. - This is Ryan O'Reily.
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
478. - Jack Eldridge.
- Oh, how do you do?Copy !req
479. Hi. You don't
remember me,Copy !req
480. - do you?
- No, I'm afraid not. Have we met?Copy !req
481. - About 20 years ago.
- Oh, well, you'd understand then.Copy !req
482. Yeah, you must meet so many people
in this job, right?Copy !req
483. - What were the circumstances?
- It's not important.Copy !req
484. - Oh.
- Okay, Ryan. Comfortable?Copy !req
485. Ah, yes.Copy !req
486. And we are... rolling.Copy !req
487. Where were you
when Adebisi died?Copy !req
488. The common room.Copy !req
489. Any inkling as to what
was gonna happen to him?Copy !req
490. No, no. As far
as I could see, Said and Adebisi,Copy !req
491. they were
getting along just fine.Copy !req
492. Okay, so walk me
through this.Copy !req
493. - You were in the common room...
- Doing nothing.Copy !req
494. And?Copy !req
495. I heard this noise
from Adebisi's pod...Copy !req
496. and he had these white curtains
hanging up in the room, and, poof...Copy !req
497. it just went red with blood everywhere,
splattered. And then Adebisi,Copy !req
498. He falls out of the pod,
down on the ground, dead.Copy !req
499. And Said follows outCopy !req
500. with the shank
still in his hand.Copy !req
501. - Have any idea what led to the fight?
- No.Copy !req
502. All right.Copy !req
503. You told me there were curtains on
the windows of Adebisi's pod.Copy !req
504. - Is that unusual?
- Yes.Copy !req
505. - Was Adebisi privileged?
- Privileged?Copy !req
506. Was he allowed to get away with things
the rest of you weren't?Copy !req
507. Hold on for a second.
Excuse me.Copy !req
508. Wanna kill
these things?Copy !req
509. Sure. Dell, guys, cut.Copy !req
510. What's the problem?Copy !req
511. You want this knowledge,
you're gonna have to pay.Copy !req
512. We don't pay informants.Copy !req
513. - Then I'm not saying another word.
- Ryan, in the prescreen you saidCopy !req
514. - you would tell everything you know.
- Look, it's gonna cost me.Copy !req
515. The warden's gonna be up my ass
like one of them proctoscopes.Copy !req
516. All I'm looking for here
is a little compensation.Copy !req
517. No! Get the fuck out.Copy !req
518. Suit yourself, Mr. Eldridge.
Pleasure to see you again.Copy !req
519. You bastard.
Find out where the fuck I know him from.Copy !req
520. - How am I gonna do that?
- Well, use your head!Copy !req
521. I certainly didn't meet O'Reily at
a cocktail party on the Upper East Side.Copy !req
522. 20 years ago, I bet I did
a story on him. Track it down!Copy !req
523. Commendable work, love.
Nice fucking interview.Copy !req
524. A pleasure
meeting you finally.Copy !req
525. - I've admired you for years.
- Thank you.Copy !req
526. The feeling
is mutual.Copy !req
527. I've read
both your books.Copy !req
528. Well, actually
there are three.Copy !req
529. I've always felt
that your convictionCopy !req
530. was politically motivated.Copy !req
531. Gentlemen?
We're ready if you are.Copy !req
532. Well, just relax,
speak your mind.Copy !req
533. Minister Said,
you murdered Simon Adebisi.Copy !req
534. No, l, um—Copy !req
535. defended myself.Copy !req
536. He attacked me
with a knife.Copy !req
537. Why?
Why did he attack you?Copy !req
538. I was under the impressionCopy !req
539. that we were gonna talk about
the conditions in Oz.Copy !req
540. Well, isn't this one of the conditions?
Brutality, senseless violence?Copy !req
541. Was his attack
on you unmotivated?Copy !req
542. No.Copy !req
543. So you said something to him,
you did something to him.Copy !req
544. I'm a Muslim. I did not agree
with some of the waysCopy !req
545. that Adebisi
was conducting himself.Copy !req
546. Then why did you ask
to move into Adebisi's pod?Copy !req
547. You see,
I have here a formCopy !req
548. signed by you,
requesting the change.Copy !req
549. if you hated
Adebisi so much—Copy !req
550. - I didn't say I hated him.
- Then why live with such an animal?Copy !req
551. I was trying
to save him.Copy !req
552. And yet instead
you killed him.Copy !req
553. What about the videotape
documenting Adebisi's conduct?Copy !req
554. You know, right now
I would likeCopy !req
555. to move past this
particular conversationCopy !req
556. and speak about
the larger issues.Copy !req
557. Do you deny that
there's a videotape?Copy !req
558. Every day we sufferCopy !req
559. fundamental
civil rights abuses.Copy !req
560. The tape, sir,
yes or no?Copy !req
561. I am done
talking with you.Copy !req
562. Minister, we are only
trying to get the facts.Copy !req
563. That part of
the story is over.Copy !req
564. Don't you understand?Copy !req
565. Adebisi is dead.Copy !req
566. Adebisi is irrelevant.Copy !req
567. Nothing that brings about
the death of a man is irrelevant.Copy !req
568. You want us to hear
what you have to say, fine.Copy !req
569. You have to tell us
what we need to know first.Copy !req
570. And then which part
will be aired?Copy !req
571. They're definitely working
the angle on Adebisi.Copy !req
572. His death?Copy !req
573. Nope, what went on
before that.Copy !req
574. Poet told them about the videotapes
that Adebisi made.Copy !req
575. Christ.Copy !req
576. Yeah, and they're trying
to verify that the tapes exist.Copy !req
577. - Maybe we should pull the plug.
- I can't do that.Copy !req
578. I spoke to both
the commissioner and the governorCopy !req
579. And they feel if we back out now,
it'll only look worse.Copy !req
580. And since I never told either of them
about the videotapes—Copy !req
581. Well, I sure as hell
can't tell them now.Copy !req
582. Well, you may
have to, Leo.Copy !req
583. The truth may
have to come out.Copy !req
584. - Hey.
- Hey.Copy !req
585. So, you got
information for me?Copy !req
586. I can't go on camera
and say the things that need to be said.Copy !req
587. Why not?Copy !req
588. Because it'll be the end
of Leo's careerCopy !req
589. and the Governor will
have enough ammunitionCopy !req
590. to close down
Emerald City permanently.Copy !req
591. Okay.Copy !req
592. So, then what would you
be willing to say?Copy !req
593. On camera, nothing.Copy !req
594. But as deep background...Copy !req
595. the guy you want to go
after is Martin Querns.Copy !req
596. He ran Emerald City
after you.Copy !req
597. And what about
that videotape?Copy !req
598. Have you seen it?Copy !req
599. Has Glynn?Copy !req
600. Come on. Talk to me.Copy !req
601. What you're asking me
to do is betray a friend.Copy !req
602. Friend?Copy !req
603. He fired you.Copy !req
604. With good reason.Copy !req
605. And he gave me
back Em City.Copy !req
606. Like I said,
go after Querns.Copy !req
607. Leo, what the fuck
is going on?Copy !req
608. I get a call asking me
if I'm willingCopy !req
609. To be interviewed by
Jack fucking Eldridge?Copy !req
610. They found out what went on in Em City
when you were in charge.Copy !req
611. - They heard about the videotapes.
- Fuck.Copy !req
612. When you asked me to resign, you said no
one would ever know the reason,Copy !req
613. that we were gonna keep it internal so
that neither one of us would get hurt.Copy !req
614. Refuse to do
the interview. I did.Copy !req
615. Fine.Copy !req
616. Where are
the videotapes?Copy !req
617. In a safe place.Copy !req
618. What are you keeping them around for?
Destroy the tapes, Leo.Copy !req
619. Destroy the goddamn
motherfucking tapes now!Copy !req
620. Warden.Copy !req
621. Mr. Eldridge.Copy !req
622. So, I understand you've canceled
our interview.Copy !req
623. - That's right.
- May I ask why?Copy !req
624. You can ask.
I won't answer.Copy !req
625. Come on,
off the record,Copy !req
626. between two guys
holding their dicks.Copy !req
627. When I was thinking of running
for Lieutenant Governor,Copy !req
628. I spent too much time
in front of the camera.Copy !req
629. Between you and me,
off the record,Copy !req
630. that's bullshit.Copy !req
631. - You've spent how many years at Oswald?
- Too many.Copy !req
632. Yet it would bother you
to leave, right?Copy !req
633. To quit?Copy !req
634. To be forced out
because of some indiscretion?Copy !req
635. Because some mishandling
of the job was exposed on TV?Copy !req
636. I've spent my entire life
punishing people,Copy !req
637. and over the years,
I've had to make choices.Copy !req
638. Some were good
and some led to violence.Copy !req
639. Lives have been lost
and l...Copy !req
640. I wonder, could I have
stopped the carnage?Copy !req
641. Simon Adebisi,Copy !req
642. could you have
prevented his death?Copy !req
643. Yes.Copy !req
644. Balls-on truth,
I should be fired.Copy !req
645. But I'm afraid
whoever they bring inCopy !req
646. to replace me would
only be worse.Copy !req
647. It's a terrible thing
to reach this pointCopy !req
648. and realize your whole life
has been a sham.Copy !req
649. So for a man whose job
is meant to punish others,Copy !req
650. you ultimately punish yourself
more than anyone.Copy !req
651. Off the record?Copy !req
652. Yes.Copy !req
653. No comment.Copy !req
654. Lisa.Copy !req
655. What?Copy !req
656. - The Adebisi story, it's a dead end.
- What? Jack, no.Copy !req
657. My instincts tell me that no one is
gonna come forward with the facts.Copy !req
658. We've faced tougher resistance than this
before. I can get McManus to crack.Copy !req
659. Some people do things for malicious
reasons. This prison is full of them.Copy !req
660. I don't think Leo Glynn is one. He's
imperfect, but he's not incompetent.Copy !req
661. That is no reason not
to expose what happened here.Copy !req
662. - A man died.
- Yeah, from all appearances, a bad man.Copy !req
663. You're making judgments now?
What, he isn't as important as the Pope?Copy !req
664. Don't get high and mighty with me.
I've brought presidents,Copy !req
665. serial killers,
corporate giants to their knees.Copy !req
666. - And now's not the time to go soft.
- I'm going home.Copy !req
667. Big day tomorrow.Copy !req
668. You're making a mistake, Jack.
Letting this story go is a mistake!Copy !req
669. Yeah, probably, but you know,
every once in a while,Copy !req
670. even a newsman
has to have a heart.Copy !req
671. Hey, can I have your
autograph, Mr. Brokaw?Copy !req
672. What a dick.Copy !req
673. Journalists are supposed
to be impartial.Copy !req
674. They're supposed to keep their
personal opinions to themselves.Copy !req
675. However, on TV, we know
what the reporter is feeling.Copy !req
676. We see Sam Donaldson
or Andrea MitchellCopy !req
677. giving us the facts,Copy !req
678. but with the camera
that close up,Copy !req
679. we can also tell
by a raised eyebrow,Copy !req
680. a tiny inflection,Copy !req
681. what they really think
about the personCopy !req
682. who they're
reporting on.Copy !req
683. Now, Walter Cronkite,
he had the poker face.Copy !req
684. Nobody ever knew what
old Walt was thinking.Copy !req
685. So while he was
telling the truth,Copy !req
686. he was also lying
to the camera.Copy !req
687. That's genius!Copy !req
688. Yo, yo, yo, O'Reily,
O'Reily, my man.Copy !req
689. Yo. I forgot
to thank you, man,Copy !req
690. for getting me put down
in this cafeteria. This shit is dope.Copy !req
691. Oh, hey, no problem, cuz.
Hey, come here.Copy !req
692. I got a little
something for you.Copy !req
693. Hey, little morning
pick-me-up.Copy !req
694. We call it
"the duster." Yeah.Copy !req
695. So, Omar, I hear
you're the lucky fuckCopy !req
696. who's gonna spend the night
in the cell with Jack Eldridge.Copy !req
697. I'm gonna be a TV star,
shit, like... Martin LawrenceCopy !req
698. or Bart Simpson and shit.
This shit is good, man.Copy !req
699. Have some more.
You know, I just hopeCopy !req
700. he doesn't disrespect you,
that's all.Copy !req
701. Dis me?
How he gonna dis me?Copy !req
702. Well, I overheard him
telling somebody yesterdayCopy !req
703. - that you were a faggot.
- Yeah?Copy !req
704. Yeah, that's what
he said.Copy !req
705. - Faggot?
- Yeah.Copy !req
706. - I ain't no motherfucking faggot!
- Omar, Omar, Omar, hey!Copy !req
707. I know that,Copy !req
708. but you know
them news media cocks,Copy !req
709. they love
to twist shit around.Copy !req
710. You know, they don't
give a fuck about the truth.Copy !req
711. They make a guy look the way
they want him to lookCopy !req
712. for the sake of their story,
to boost the ratings.Copy !req
713. Ratings?
Fuck the motherfucking ratings.Copy !req
714. This motherfucker ain't calling me
no faggot!Copy !req
715. But the funny thing is, is the tabloids
say that Eldridge is actually a faggot.Copy !req
716. I heard that somewhere,
I know.Copy !req
717. He's like one of them
closet cases, you know?Copy !req
718. But to cover up
his shame,Copy !req
719. he's gonna skunk you
on national television.Copy !req
720. No.Copy !req
721. - Hey, O'Reily.
- Huh?Copy !req
722. - Those eggs ain't gonna fry themselves.
- I'm coming.Copy !req
723. - Okay, let's go, man.
- I know, I'm coming.Copy !req
724. Hey, if I were you,Copy !req
725. tonight when I was alone
with that cocksucker,Copy !req
726. I'd teach him a thing or two
about being a real man. Enjoy that.Copy !req
727. - Hello, hello.
- Mr. Eldridge.Copy !req
728. Hello, Lisa.Copy !req
729. Jack.Copy !req
730. What did you find out
about Ryan O'Reily?Copy !req
731. When he was 16, you did
a piece on urban gangs,Copy !req
732. about how the black kids were taking
over the turf of the whites,Copy !req
733. - especially the lrish.
- I interviewed O'Reily?Copy !req
734. Yeah, and his brother Cyril.Copy !req
735. Here are
the transcripts.Copy !req
736. Lisa.Copy !req
737. I don't have time
to read that.Copy !req
738. Did Jack make
O'Reily look bad?Copy !req
739. I reviewed the tape
last night and yeah,Copy !req
740. the O'Reilys came off
as being brutal, heartless.Copy !req
741. I want to
see that tape.Copy !req
742. Let's go,
come on in.Copy !req
743. Watch the paint.Copy !req
744. At 5:00, all the prisoners are locked
down in their cells. 9:00, lights out.Copy !req
745. - Until?
- 6:00 am.Copy !req
746. Oh, Mamacita.Copy !req
747. Keep it in your pants, Guerra.
Let's go, keep a-moving.Copy !req
748. Jesus.Copy !req
749. There he is.
There's the fuck.Copy !req
750. - Omar, just chill out till tonight.
- No, the bitch is mine.Copy !req
751. Hey, Omar!Copy !req
752. - Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- Get the fuck off me.Copy !req
753. Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, you!Copy !req
754. You fuck.Copy !req
755. - You fuck.
- What's your problem, White?Copy !req
756. - I got your punk for you, all right?
- White, what's your problem?Copy !req
757. What's my problem?
He's my problem!Copy !req
758. I got another problem,
too, all right?Copy !req
759. This! This is
my fucking problem!Copy !req
760. - Hey, hey, hey, relax, man.
- Calm down, White. Let's go.Copy !req
761. Fuck!
He's got a knife.Copy !req
