1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and back.

Late again, Kate.

You teach a pretty tough class.

No. Hey, great class. You did good.

You're a fan club?

Yeah.

I'm popular.

You wouldn't think the class was tough if you'd come on time.

What's the deal? How come you're late? What did you do?

Run into some hot -luck accounts, maybe?

Oh, right. Like that would happen to me.

It would, and it should.

Never.

No, this couple showed up late and wanted to look at the house.

Well, how'd it go?

Home takers?

No.

Our markets have been awful lately.

At least no one wants to buy the hounds I'm trying to sell anyway.

Well, how'd that acting job go that you auditioned for?

I didn't get a call back, and my agent's too busy to take my call as usual.

You know, same old, same old. The whole loop was great.

Our careers aren't going anywhere.

Our rent is due next week, and my checking account is down to a minimum.

Oh, good God.

You haven't sold a house in months, and your agent has been calling you back.

And guess what?

I just spent a bundle on a new dress for Kelly's party tonight.

Get out.

That red, sexy, short one?

That's the one. The one that you said you couldn't possibly afford?

Well, I charged it.

Oh, Sharon, you're crazy.

Who are all these people?

I don't think I know any of them.

Well, I guess I'm kind of sure I changed up the report.

Why say so?

Look, there's a spot right over there. What spot?

Are you lying?

Right over there. You've got to be kidding. I can't get in there. You can.

I will guide you.

Okay? Okay, stop. All right?

I'll guide you.

Here you go. Here.

All right, now you've just got to turn your front wheels this way. That's it.

Look who's here. The one that got away.

Wow.

Joe, what are you doing here?

Same as you. I came to the party.

The girl I came with left her fucking purse in my car. I came back to get it.

You just get me in?

Yeah. You come along?

I come in business.

Hey, K .O.

Are you seeing a guy, huh?

Look, why don't you just leave us alone, okay?

Hey, are you seeing a guy?

Look, John, in case you haven't noticed, we broke up months ago. I don't give a

shit who you're seeing, and I don't have to tell you if I'm seeing anyone or

not. Let go of my car. I never broke up with you.

Yes, I did.

And my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

Katie, do you mind if we just leave?

You used to affect me before to be with you. You loved it. So don't start acting

like you're something better because I know you. You're just a fucking whore.

Fuck you!

Stop it! Get off her!

Stop it!

Get off her!

Get away!

Give me that gun!

Are you sure that there are no members of your families you'd like for me to

contact?

Yes, I'm sure.

Well, as your attorney, I'd be lying to you if I told you that this case was

going to be easy.

Now, I know that you've stated that the deceased tried to rape you, and I'm not

doubting you.

However, physical evidence only indicates that there was a struggle.

And the fact that there were two of you there and the deceased was alone, well,

that is not going to help us much either.

It's true.

That's... It's what happened.

Look, you have to believe us.

Look, I know that you would have preferred to have some high -priced,

lawyer. But the fact that I'm working for the Public Defender's Office is not

going to reduce your chances or my dedication in any way.

Now, I have to be certain that there's nothing else that you're not telling me.

We're innocent.

It was self -defense.

He grabbed the gun. It went off. That's all there is.

Come on in.

Have a seat. Your Honor.

Steve. Ellen.

So, tell me, Steven, will they be pleading guilty?

No, Your Honor, they're still claiming that they're innocent.

I see.

The special investigator for the district attorney's office has come up

some strong evidence against the girls and an eyewitness. As you know, they

no relatives to testify on their behalf.

One of them has a stepfather living in Arkansas and the other's parents are now

living in...

Canada. Should be open and shut.

Good. Let's get this trial over and done with as quickly as possible, gentlemen.

I don't want to waste any more of the taxpayers' money than I have to. Are we

certain that they're guilty?

This case has been reviewed by the highest members of our inner circle.

It's their decision based on the evidence.

Now, I know all of this is a bit new to you, Stephen, but I have great

confidence in your judgment and abilities.

You're not going to disappoint me, are you, Stephen?

No, Your Honor. I'm sorry, Your Honor.

Do not disappoint the shield.

The defendants in this case are charged with murder.

Yet, the defense will try to suggest to you that they are the victims, that they

are the ones you should feel sorry for.

They will say to you...

that the defendants are not responsible for their actions because they were

under duress and torment, and it was just self -defense.

The deceased is really the bad one, they will say.

This is a familiar defensive tactic that is spreading like a plague in every

courtroom throughout this country.

It is a disease that cripples the system to its core, but we can put a stop to

it with justice and truth.

The people will present the real facts in this case, backed up by evidence and

witnesses. The people will prove that Kate Parris and Sharon O 'Neill stalked

John Wallace, Sharon's former boyfriend, with the intent of killing him in cold

blood.

On the night of July 26th of this year, the defendants willfully and maliciously

carried out the murder of John Wallace simply because he had broken up with

Sharon four months prior.

We will show that Sharon O 'Neill was a woman crippled with jealousy and an

inability to accept rejection.

We will also show that Kate Parris is a woman with a bizarre sense of devotion

to her friend Kate.

A sense of devotion so far -reaching as to participate in cold -blooded murder.

So, Mr. Dolan, tell us about the night of the murder, please.

Well, I saw them drive up and sit in their car for a long time like they were

waiting for something.

And then all of a sudden, when this guy shows up, they got out and started

yelling at him.

I could see that he's trying to get away, but the girls grabbed him. They

started struggling.

And that's when one of them pulled a gun and shot him.

No, he's lying.

That's not what happened. He's lying. That's not what happened. He's lying.

That's not what happened.

I will tolerate no disruptions in this courtroom.

So, Mr. Dolan, are you trying to tell me that from your window

across the street, a half a block away, you just sat and watched the entire

event unfold?

Yeah.

I was on my second story balcony taking long exposures of the moon that night.

I had a fairly good view of what was happening.

Now, if you had a camera there the whole time, why didn't you take a picture of

them? Like I told you.

I'm an amateur photographer, and my camera was set up for long exposures of

moon. And everything happened so fast, I didn't get a chance to.

No more questions, Your Honor.

Miss O 'Neill, when did you break up with the deceased, John Wallace?

It was, um...

Back in March. And it is your contention that it was you who wanted to end the

relationship and not Mr. Wallace?

Yes. Make any attempts to contact Mr. Wallace after the breakup?

No.

No?

Well, according to telephone records we've obtained for your residence, you

a total of, let's see, 26 telephone calls to Mr. Wallace between March and

time of his death in July.

Miss O 'Neill, could you please explain for the court this discrepancy between

your testimony and these records?

Well, they're not true.

I didn't call them.

I didn't. Your Honor, I ask that this be marked People's Exhibit E and entered

into evidence.

Miss Parris, do you have...

A license to carry a handgun with you in your vehicle or on your person?

No, but I... Then why did you have a handgun with you on the night of July

I carried it in my car for protection. Miss Harris, isn't it in fact true that

you had the gun with you that night for the sole purpose of killing John Wallace

and that you and Sharon O 'Neill planned out the murder in detail beforehand?

Please, tell the truth.

No, it was an accident. The gun just went off. Then why did you try to flee

crime scene?

Mr. Foreman, do you have a verdict?

Yes, Your Honor. We find the defendants guilty of first -degree murder.

Wait a minute.

Even

though

this is your first offense, I cannot overlook the severity and senselessness

your crimes.

Sharon O 'Neill, I hereby sentence you to a term of 35 years.

Kate Parris, I hereby sentence you to a term of 30 years.

You will both serve your terms at the State Correctional Facility for Women in

Santa Caron.

Sentences to start immediately.

Hey, honey, why don't you give us a break, huh?

Shut your fucking mouth.

I didn't say nothing. She did.

Don't you look an officer in the eye.

You don't talk back.

You don't fucking open your mouth unless you're told to. Is that clear?

All right, get up.

Take a step forward.

Stand on a straight line, shoulder to shoulder.

Open your mouth wide so the officers can examine you.

Off to the left.

All right, lean your heads forward and shake out your hair with your hands.

Extend your arms straight out in front of you.

Palms down.

Now turn your hands over.

Drop your hands by your side and wait there quietly.

My name is Captain Eric Ray.

I'm in charge of all the officers.

That means if I don't like you, your life will be hell.

So, one bit of advice, get on my good side.

Stand at attention.

Hello, ladies.

Welcome to Santa Corona Prison.

My name is Warden Lauren McBride.

Under my administration, this prison has become a model prison system.

That is because, first and foremost, we teach obedience around here.

While other prison systems are crippled with return offenders, we have none of

that here.

Fuck up, ladies, and you're going to be real sorry.

On the other hand, we are more than willing to reward good behavior.

The quality of your day is entirely up to you.

Continue, Lieutenant Hill.

You'll soon discover the value of discipline.

compliance, and even submission.

Open up, C Block.

This prison is divided into three sections.

The general population, where we are now, is where you'll be placed if we're

% of the inmates reside.

However, those that do not comply will be moved to Blocks E and F, known to the

inmates as the pit.

On the other hand...

On occasion, the warden will reward model prisoners by allowing them the

opportunity of residing in Block A.

You'll hear inmates referring to A Block as the hotel, but only a few gain

the privilege of residing in the hotel.

Lieutenant Hale, please take charge of our new prisoners and take them to their

cells. Yes, sir.

I just stopped in front of the cell door.

You want a cigarette?

No, thanks.

Hey, when someone offers you their hospitality, you take it.

I don't smoke.

You don't smoke?

What are you, in here for your health?

I don't belong here.

You'll get used to it.

What? Being in here.

There's nothing you get used to faster than prison life.

If you don't, you won't make it.

Just stay on your toes.

You'll know what's good for you and what's not.

Who are they?

Inmates of the hotel.

They keep them separate.

Is that where the warden keeps the model prisoners?

Yeah, something like that.

You ever been to the hotel?

Me?

Hell no.

I'm too much of a smartass to be a party girl.

Party girl?

Yeah.

Yeah.

They do like them to be pretty, though.

You're pretty enough.

They'll want you.

We're talking back.

One more fuck up out of you or you and it's in the pit with both of you.

Fuck you, Lieutenant.

Fuck all of you.

I'm not going back to the pit.

Who the fuck do you think you are?

Fuck you.

And you know what else?

Fuck your shield.

The hell's a shield?

It's something you don't talk about unless you got a death wish.

Hey, look, I'll catch up with you later, okay?

And don't go around asking too many questions. It gets a lot of people

here real nervous.

Me? I've been around here so long I don't give a shit.

Besides, the guards know I'm smart enough to know who to talk to and about

If you go around asking the wrong person the wrong question...

Are you holding up, Kate?

What do you think?

We should be sticking together right now.

And maybe there's something we can do. Maybe there's somebody that we can talk

to.

I know you're pissed off at me for some reason. For some reason?

You don't think I see the way that you look at me?

I know you blame me for what happened.

Blame you? How could I?

I know you blame me for having the gun in the car and for everything that's

happened to us.

Look, now I'm supposed to forget all that to help each other?

Well, Sharon, the last time I helped you, I thought I was helping a friend in

need.

I guess I was wrong.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I am your friend.

Your friend.

Look, maybe I did blame you a little.

But I know that you blame me, too.

I know you disapproved of me ever going out with John.

I know you disapproved of half the things that I did.

So what? Shit happens.

They framed us, Kate.

Do you know what your problem is? It's you. You're blaming yourself.

You're blaming yourself for having the gun in the car and for shooting John and

for every other piece of shit thing that's happened to us.

So you want to stay away from me.

That's fine.

Don't pretend to speak to me.

The trouble in the yard and the mere mention of the shield is extremely

disconcerting, Mr. Ray.

It'll be taken care of.

Good.

What do you think of our new inmates, Kate Paris and Sharon O 'Neill?

You know, they're first -timers, and first -timers can be troublemakers.

They should be candidates for the hotel.

You know that.

Do what you need to do to get them to trust you.

I want them in the hotel.

Mariana, warden.

Good.

Nobody can see your hands up.

Move it!

Right, you see your neck?

Just move out of there.

Now that we're roommates, we get to know each other a little bit better.

It's like we healed up pretty good, Rumi.

No hard feelings, I hope.

But if it wasn't me, it would have been somebody else.

Nobody keeps their virginity until they move on.

Maybe next time, it'll be better.

I don't think I'm going to keep taking this shit because I'm not.

You better watch it.

Do you understand?

You mean?

Alright, what's going on here?

I asked you a question.

Nothing!

And you, take a step forward.

Now!

I'd like to know who's responsible for this.

If you didn't do it, perhaps you can point out those who did.

I'm sure we'd all like to know, wouldn't we, ladies?

We didn't say a thing, Mr. Hope.

Ladies, do you know what happens when animals are let loose and allowed to run

wild? Law and order breaks down.

Society as a whole breaks down.

Now, it is my duty to teach you that.

But when prison inmates refuse to learn, when they refuse to cooperate, I have

no other choice but to force them to live amongst the animals with no law and

order.

I have no choice, ladies, but to assign you to cell block E.

The pit.

Captain?

Murdoch, come over here. Take him away.

But we're innocent.

We didn't do it.

Welcome to hell, girls. Looks like party time.

Ah, look at here.

Fresh meat.

Where the hell do you think you're going?

You think you could just come into my cell and grab a couple of beds?

Excuse me, I didn't realize it was your cell.

That's right, bitch.

It is my cell.

I'm the boss of this cell, so get that straight.

You want to sleep in a bed?

I'll cost you ten dollars each.

You laughing at me, cunt?

What are you going to do about it?

We don't have any money.

Well, why didn't you say so?

Go to Betty by time.

Rush, rush, rush, rush, rush. Rush.

Come on, Sharon.

Have a good night's sleep.

You won't be in here long.

You won't be in here long.

You'll change your mind.

That's what they're waiting for.

They don't want you in here, they want you in the hotel.

Fleeing ever so fast, you cannot flee your own fortune to destiny.

You two on a diet?

So you two didn't sleep well last night?

I hope you didn't forget you guys still owe me.

Of course, there's more than one way you can pay me back.

I'll let you slide this way.

But now you owe me twice as much.

See you later, bitch.

Why don't the guards do anything?

Why the hell should they?

You've been to the hotel, haven't you? Be careful when you go around asking

questions. You never know who you can trust.

Yeah, well, I'm asking you.

You'd be fooled by the nickname.

No hotel.

So what's the catch? What do you think?

Prostitution?

But that's insane.

How can they do that?

Easily.

If you know all this, why can't you do something about it?

The SEAL is a secret organization made up of various law enforcement officers.

You know, judges, lawyers, government officials, members of the prison board,

and of course, Miss McBride.

The hotel was created by the warden herself so the girls can be used

satisfy the members of the shield and to entice new members into the

organization.

Well, if you knew all this, isn't there something that you can do?

How? I fucking hate this place.

But I want to stay alive.

Most of the inmates in this place know that the shield is something you don't

talk about.

And even if they did know, it wouldn't make a damn bit of difference.

Because they're all fucking guilty.

What about the girls that get released?

Why don't they ever say anything?

It doesn't matter if you're in or you're out.

If you want to stay alive, you don't say anything.

But you know what?

If they gave me the chance, I'd be back there in a second.

The only way...

Possibility to escape.

Going the way out?

At least hit the pitch.

Sonia Christine, it's time for her to step aside.

Adios, a riveter. Don't you get the fuck out of here.

Are they cool?

Yeah, they're all right.

Now that I gave you some information, I think it's only fair that you help me.

Full house. It's five times the amount you owe me. No, it's four.

All right, four. I'm not trying to cheat you.

Yeah, right.

When do I ever cheat you, Monica?

Oh, since the day we met.

Every day.

Do I get it?

See?

Simple, simple.

Time to play soon.

That's a good girl.

Yeah.

Hey, Lisa.

You have to get the fuck out of my life.

You want me?

Let's do it.

Music to my ears.

Stop! Stop!

Stop your squirming!

No, don't worry.

I'm not going to kill you. I just want to make sure you stay alive so you can

kiss my ass every day.

I want you all here to show this piece of shit that now I'm the new Selma.

Tell Mr. Ray we want to go to the hotel.

Please.

We'll do anything.

When do we get to see Mr. Ray?

He'll see you when he's getting ready.

I don't know if I can go through this.

I mean, going to that hotel.

What if we have to actually go through with this? Being a prostitute. I don't

think I can do that.

John, this is our only chance.

I don't like this any more than you do.

Look, you were right.

We have to stick together.

I'm sorry I asked you to do this before.

But the only way that we're going to get through this is if we're there for each

other. Christine said this is our only possible way to escape.

Until we follow the way, this is our only hope.

Murdoch. What?

An inmate escaped?

Christ, what about the two here?

All right, I'm on my way.

Hey, they're looking for you.

They think you're in the infirmary. No kidding.

Crawling around those air ducts. last half hour.

Listen, I know a way out of this place, but I can't do this alone.

There's a garbage truck coming in five minutes.

I know the driver.

We can get in through the trash compactor in the basement.

If you help me, I'll take you with me.

Look, we don't have all day.

Let's get to that basement so we can all get into this place. Goodbye.

Let's do it. Let's do it.

Come on, let's go. Come on,

what are you doing? I don't know about this.

I got a bad feeling.

Hank, what if this doesn't work?

What then?

What are you guys talking about?

Look, I'm offering you a way out.

Right through those doors.

Isn't that all you think about, day and night?

No.

We just want to go to the hotel, that's all.

Mr. Ray?

Maxine Smith.

Well, I think you guys passed the test.

I don't like troublemakers, and I can't tolerate prisoners whose only thoughts

are to escape.

It certainly points to a lack of cooperation.

Well, we weren't trying to escape, Mr. Ray.

We just wanted to go to the hotel.

We'll do anything you say.

Then what were you doing out here in the first place?

Mr. Hill, bring on our guest.

I'm sure you know Christine.

We shared a cell in the pit together.

Christine was once an inmate in the hotel, but she refused to cooperate.

To make matters worse, she was extremely nosy.

Couldn't mind her own business.

I had to finally convince the warden to throw her into the pit.

But that didn't seem to do her any good.

So, I brought her down here today to make an incentive letter.

Why did you kill that inmate?

Why did you try to escape?

We didn't try to escape.

First you tried to escape, then you killed the inmate, Christine.

Why? You know we did.

Then who did?

If you didn't kill her, who did?

Why do you do this to me?

Why don't you clear your conscience?

You see, I'm only here to help you.

I'm here to save you.

Where do you think you are now?

In prison.

No.

This is your home.

You are home.

Are you praying right now?

Do you believe in God?

I don't know.

Don't you know that God can't hear you?

He's forsaken you.

Why? Because you're unworthy. Because you are nobody.

But I'm here.

I'm the only one you should be praying to. And all I ask for you is the truth.

Tell me you killed Christine.

Is that better?

Tell me what happened.

We... We planned an escape with another

inmate, Christine.

And then we stole a shotgun and keys from Officer Murdoch.

And then we went to go meet Christine.

And then what?

The plan didn't work.

We got into an argument and we killed her.

Well, that was easy.

You know, in just a little while, I'll be having you write down your

confessions.

Will we still be able to go to the hotel?

Yes.

Think of this as a lesson.

A reminder. A reminder of Christine.

Of what can happen.

Don't be nervous, Sharon.

This is all just a routine.

All the girls are given thorough examinations before they're allowed in

hotel.

Girls are healthy and clean here. I'm sure you understand why.

You're being examined, and then you'll be taken to the hotel.

Look, I suggest you both just forget who or what you were.

This is your life now, and the sooner you understand that, the better you both

will be.

You're very pretty girls, and I'm very glad you made this decision.

I think we're going to be good friends.

Sure.

You're an inmate?

Yes, just like you.

Good.

Very, very good.

Have them checked out completely by the doctor. I want them ready for cell block

A.

The hotel.

This is it.

So block A.

Life can be very simple here.

Remember, pain is only if you make it. Only if you let it.

There's no pride, no shame.

It's just us.

Hello, girls.

Hi.

I'd like to introduce you to your new roommates. This is Sharon and Kate.

Hi, Sharon.

Hi.

Well, ladies, I am very pleased to see that you have changed your mind.

Nina, we have a very important party in two days. See that these two are ready.

Follow me, Nina.

Come join us.

Have a seat.

You're really going to like it here.

Yeah, yeah, I'm sure we will.

Grandma? Shut up! Oh my god!

It's nice.

It's a nice sound you sound like.

Isn't it? Oh!

Thank you. You're all joking.

We're saying them. Right. We're going to block them.

Whoa.

Are you? Yeah.

What?

No.

I don't know about this.

Is this supposed to be a background sound?

Hello, ladies.

How are we?

Hello.

Hello.

No, I think they're coming.

Here we are, five minutes.

Listen, I don't want to see any dings on that automobile, okay?

Well, hello, Your Honor.

Christine said that we were going to be driven in a regular car with just one

driver.

They had Christine in the pit for a year, Sharon.

They must have changed things.

I'm aware because of what Christine said.

So now what are we going to do?

There still might be other ways.

If we can figure out a way to reveal what's going on here.

Or something.

I don't know. I just don't like this at all. We can't give up now, Sharon.

We have to hold on.

I'm going to get you in here.

I like it rough.

Don't you?

Don't you?

Get over this!

Beautiful place.

Come on.

Let's get inside now.

Good evening, Mr. Dalvin. Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Sharon, what happened?

I just don't feel comfortable about this, George.

I feel awkward.

Stephen, relax.

You're here to have fun.

But I want you to also think of this as a right passage.

An initiation, if you will, into our inner circle.

You've been a good member of the shield so far, Stephen.

This is your reward.

Enjoy it.

What's wrong with her?

Nothing, Warden. She'll be okay.

I hope so.

She can stay in here the rest of this evening, but I do not want this

again.

Am I clear on that?

Tell me, Warden.

Are these guys so desperate that they have to come here and rape prisoners?

That guy terrorized Sharon. You just better settle down, little missy.

I can have you sent back to the pit like this, and I mean it.

Haven't you got it through your thick skull yet? You mean nothing.

Nothing. This is a game for them.

The sooner you realize that, the better.

Now, you can stay here just a few more minutes and console this crying little

baby, but then I want you out there now.

Sally, how about if we... Of course.

Yeah? Silly boy.

Jesus. Well, what do you know?

Hi.

Did you know that she was here?

No. But I'm not surprised.

Hell, anybody could see through that nice girl front she put on in the trial.

She's just showing us her true colors.

You should sleep with her.

She was your client at some extent.

Listen, honey, I'll be with you in a bit. Why don't you go wait for me?

Stephen, I like you.

We all like you.

We want you to go far.

We want you to get there.

There's just one thing holding you back.

That's your pity and compassion for the guilty.

We can't have it.

Justice is decisive. It cannot be weak.

Justice is ruthless because criminals deserve no pity or compassion.

Pity is what's crippling our legal system. You know that.

Pity is the criminal's best tool.

Fuck the girl, Steven.

Show me that you're not weak.

Show me that you're one of us.

Why don't you sit down?

What would you like me to do?

Do you want me to undress?

Or would you like to do that?

Just do what you normally do.

I don't normally enjoy being fucked.

But since you already fucked me once in the trial, why don't you just tell me

what you want me to do?

Um... I'm sorry.

I don't mean to cause me trouble.

What is your game?

Why are you still trying to convince me that you're innocent, huh?

I'm not.

You already know that I'm innocent.

Really? Sounds very convincing.

Coming from a common whore?

Why in the hell are you here?

Why did you volunteer for this?

Why didn't you stay in general population, huh?

Guys, dismissed.

Mr. Brady?

Stuart.

Thanks for seeing me.

Come on over, have a seat. Thank you.

I was kind of surprised to hear from you suddenly.

But like I said, anytime, Mr. Brady.

If it wasn't for you, I might still be in jail.

Nobody wanted to take my appeal, except for you.

And I won't forget that.

How long has it been?

Been out for two years and three months now.

Two years?

Seems like ages ago.

Still have faith in the system, then.

You ever get your private investigator's license back?

No, sir.

Not yet. I'm trying, though. I've been working as a security consultant in the

meantime.

What's up, Mr. Brady?

Well, this guy's name is Matt Dolan. And these are copies of the statement that

he made. He was an eyewitness in the case.

I want you to check this guy out.

I can read up on what he said.

You can't use any of your regular investigators?

No.

And I need you to be very discreet and very quiet.

No problem, Mr. Brady.

Thanks, Stuart.

Hey, call me Steve.

Fun, you asshole.

Ready? Hi, this is Stuart.

I got some information for you.

I'm curious, though. Did you investigate any of this guy's testimony?

No.

Well, I suppose you had your reasons.

But according to his statement you gave me, he saw everything when you were

taking photographs of the moon from his second floor balcony.

Well, his balcony faces the wrong street.

He couldn't have seen a damn thing unless he was a fucking giraffe.

And I snuck into his apartment. I had a little look -see.

The guy owns no photographic equipment, Mr. Brady.

Just a Polaroid.

Looks pretty obvious he was paid to say what he did.

Good evening, Mr. Brady.

This way.

Get his part, okay?

You know how to throw a good party.

Hey, come over here.

When I was first approached by them, the shield, I was feeling very frustrated

with the whole system.

Criminals were going free.

Trials were dragging on for months, only to have their cases dismissed.

And I put case after case, and I felt buried alive.

And then I just didn't care anymore.

And they came to me and offered me a better future with more money.

I took it.

Here we're talking about... lawyers and politicians and judges all working

together to stop the criminals from getting away. And I thought, sure, why

And I closed my eyes, chose not to see what they were doing, how corrupt they

are.

Your trial?

I was just going along with what they wanted.

I didn't even question their evidence.

But after I saw you the last time, I did some checking.

The evidence was made up.

They lied.

Sorry.

You're sorry?

That's it?

You were supposed to defend us.

You helped them take our lives away from us and all you can say is that you're

sorry?

Aren't you even going to try to do something? You don't understand.

I can't go against them, even if I would.

The Shield is a very powerful and vast organization.

As long as I go along with them, I'm safe.

But if I do anything or say anything to hurt them, they'll take.

I've let them take away my life from me as well.

Why the hell don't you use the evidence you were provided?

Look, Your Honor, I can't introduce that evidence. I won't introduce that

evidence. To tell you the truth, I got a lot of questions about its validity. Do

you? This girl has got an extensive rap sheet.

Drugs, robbery, assault, and all she's ever gotten is a slap on the wrist.

Do I need to remind you that you are now a member of the Shield?

We took you into our organization because you wanted to work with us.

Your goal in this trial...

Our goal is to get a conviction.

I want her found guilty.

We find the defendant not guilty.

We'll go over the briefs tomorrow.

Sure, sure.

So where are you off to tonight?

Play some hoops. Work some of the old men out.

Drive carefully. Always do.

George, don't interfere, Stephen.

He's just being taught a lesson.

Do you think he's going to help?

Who?

Steve. Yes.

Do you trust him?

Yes, I do.

Good.

Because I don't know how long we can take this cake.

Got it. The last one.

Nothing.

There's got to be some paper trail somewhere.

Hmm.

Something that proves their existence.

Yeah.

The way they work.

We've got to find them. Where else can we look?

Can't believe I'm breaking into a judge's cabinet.

Look, I don't think I can get this open, Mr. Brady.

On the other hand...

Go back right here.

Take a look at this.

Now this may be part of the members.

There's not much else here.

What do you expect, Mr. Brady? A phone confession?

These guys are smart.

That may be enough to get somebody to start investigating.

Maybe.

If there's not enough, that's to put him away.

You know they'll try to kill you.

Let's make some copies of these files and get the hell out of here.

I got some files.

It's not much, but it should help.

Of course, I have some more information about your trial. I'm trying to gather

whatever facts I can, but... But what?

But none of it will be enough to launch a top -level investigation.

Unless I'm willing to testify.

And will you testify?

But there's a problem.

I don't know how high the Shield's influence reaches.

Especially in this town.

That means I have to do this very carefully because I don't know who to

who I can trust.

So then what will you do?

I'm going to contact everyone.

I'm going to send copies of all the stuff that I have so far and my written

statement to every government organization and newspaper that I can

And once the media gets a hold of this, it should start a federal investigation

pretty quickly.

And once an investigation is launched, I know who to contact.

And they'll protect me.

But until then, I'll hide.

What will happen to us?

The S .H .I .E .L .D. will do everything they can to cover their tracks.

I've seen them kill an inmate right in front of us and they made us say that we

did it.

Even if we're found innocent, we might be dead by then.

You'll just have to...

testify along with me. How?

I'll just have to get you out of here.

You both will have to escape.

Here's the book you wanted from the library.

What? The book you wanted.

There was a note in the library saying you wanted the book.

Shit, if you don't want it, just say so.

Wait, wait, wait.

Give me the fucking book.

Soon you got my note.

Yeah, I got your note. What the hell is this all about?

Kate and I are planning an escape.

We got somebody on the outside.

He's going to expose the shield.

Look, all we need you to do is get the warden called back to the prison for the

party next week.

Oh, is that all?

Can it be done? Can you get the warden called back?

Yeah, there are ways, but they're all risky as hell.

The question is whether it's worth it.

No, I can't ask you to do anything.

Look, it'll be your lives if you don't make it.

I know.

I'll think about it.

Well, what do you think?

Well, the four of us are lifers.

We ain't going anywhere.

So if what these girls say is true, I say go for it.

Mm -hmm.

Let's do it.

Okay, then.

Oh, there they are.

Are you guys ready? Ready.

Hey. Hey.

Yeah. Take this.

Now remember what the ghost told you? I might be a god out back.

Okay. Okay.

Don't tell him if you don't have to.

But we're gonna need this, okay?

Okay.

Remember, timing is critical here.

Okay.

Hey, Stuart.

Thanks for doing this, man. All right. Just insult his words, okay? All right.

Okay. Hey, and don't forget to mail out the evidence.

Okay, the copies.

Okay, good. All right. Guys, let's go.

Good evening, Walker.

Evening, Warden.

Are the girls here?

Yes. Getting dressed? Yes, they are.

Everything's taken care of? Yes, ma 'am. Good job, Murdoch.

Here you go.

Just make sure you mix the gasoline in with the soap.

It's good enough soap.

Not going to see you again, Miss Brady.

Just what in the fuck do you need?

It's gasoline soaked, you asshole.

Aren't you gonna run, dickhead?

You and Nina are in charge. I want this party to end quick. Miguel, in.

I guarantee you three things.

You're going to tell me how many of you were involved, you're going to tell me

why, and you're going to wish you were never born.

You are rejects.

Nothing.

I told you, Captain.

I don't know anything.

I was sleeping like everybody else.

Shut the fuck up. You're dead now. You just don't know it. It's the way it was,

Charles. You've learned the whole thing.

We have exactly four minutes.

Let's go.

Stop here, okay?

I'm going to take care of the guard and go get in the car. Okay, stay back.

Excuse me, can I help you, sir?

Yeah, I was just checking on my car.

I think I lost my lighter.

Okay. Go ahead, sir.

Thanks.

Get the hands up on the air!

Hold it right there.

Nina.

What are you doing?

Come on.

Let us go.

Okay?

We don't have much time.

Come on, Nina.

I know you're not one of them.

You could come with us.

Sorry. Let's go.

I heard something about a party here.

Maybe you guys didn't see the sign back there, but this is private property.

Good trip, Captain, buddy.

Well, buddy, you have an invite.

You're going to get a messy hole in the head unless you put your fucking guns

down right now!

Get back! Get your guns down!

Get back! Get back! Get back! Get back!

Come on, Sharon!

Let's go!

You have no clue what you're doing, buddy!

The world is going... Excuse me.

Do something about this.

Please, could I just have a few minutes alone?

Okay, Your Honor.

I'll give you two minutes.

Beware.
