"Last year the United States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scolia criticized the Catholic Church's position to the death penalty." "He believes Catholic judges who don't support capital punishment should resign." "A devout Catholic himself, Scalia has not demanded judges who support the church's stand on abortion should resign." "Lopresti told me dad got stabbed." "Don't worry about dad." "Is he gonna be okay?" "Dr. Nathan's taking good care of him." "I like Dr. Nathan." "Me, too." "Me, too." "That man's taking notes again." "I told you, that's because this time you're going to get that special ECT treatment." "Right." "Finally." "Showtime." "Any word from the lawyer?" "See ya, Ryan." "Yeah." "I'll see ya." ""Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil :" "for thou art with me;" "thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:" "thou anointest my head with oil."" "" ...my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."" "Mom, what's happening?" "Mom, what's-- what are they doing?" "Ryan!" "I want to see Cyril." "You're too late." "I did the best I could for him, and you, growing up." "I tried!" "But I never caught a break." "Nothing ever went my way, not one single time." "And the day that... your sister... died" "was the day I found out that Tessie had cancer." "I was scared." "You were afraid?" "I don't want to die." "Don't leave me, Ryan, please, son." "I don't want to die alone." "Please." "Don't worry." "I won't let that happen." "I'm not going anywhere, Dad." "Ah, is everybody ready?" "James would like to address everybody." "Well... what I have to say is goodbye." "As of today, I'll be transferring to Unit F." "See, I'm HIV positive." "Initially, I blamed Cutler, the guy who raped me," "but the truth is, this is my fault," "because of all the times I had unprotected sex, thinking I'd never be the one to catch my dick in the zipper." "And even though I know I'm going to live a long time," "I also know this didn't have to happen." "Anyway, I'm glad I got to spend some time with you guys, to see through the window both ways." "What the fuck are you doing here?" "Believe me, Vern, I wouldn't have come unless I absolutely had to." "How's the Kike?" "Irv's fine, sends his love." "Dad's dying, lung cancer." "All those Chesterfields finally caught up with him." "He goes in and out of consciousness, but when he's awake, he asks for you." "Horse shit." "You and I haven't been in the same room for 20-odd years, but I felt I should come, see if you had a message for the old man." "Message?" "I've hated him all my life." "Well, no reason to stop now." "Well, no reason to stop now." "I have been corresponding with Carrie's folks in Montana, sending money for the baby." "They mailed me pictures of Jewel's first birthday." "I thought you might like them." "Greta..." "What I did, shutting you out after your wedding," "I had to." "And I despised you for decades, but now all I can say is shalom." "Shalom, Vern." "Agent Taylor." "Mr. Beecher, please sit down." "How's it going?" "Fine." "How's your daughter, Holly?" "You know, the reason I ask is one of the few joys of this job is reuniting kidnapped children with their parents." "She's adjusting, all things considered." "It must be tough on her though," "I mean, you out of prison one day, back inside the next." "How would you like another chance at being paroled?" "I can make it happen." "How?" "If you cooperate with us we'll see to it that this latest charge against you evaporates." "If this is about Keller murdering Brice Tibbett's" "That's a dead issue!" "But Keller did kill two other men, Byram Lewis and Mark Karachi." "And Keller's got an ego, and I'm sure that at some point in your time together he must have mentioned something." "You mean come out and admitted his guilt?" "No, he's too sly for that." "But he suggested his complicity." "Yes." "You see, that could be enough if you and I figure out how to phrase it correctly." "Like you did with Jerry Heakin?" "Heekin's a punk." "But you're a former lawyer with children." "That Keller fucked up the ass." "You're back in Oz because of him." "You testify, you go free." "He dies." "What is it about Keller, agent Taylor, that obsesses you?" "I want justice for those murdered men." "Look, I may have been disbarred, but there's still enough lawyer in me to know that justice doesn't come through deceit by my rephrasing what Keller said." "He's guilty!" "I know." "Freedom, Beecher." "Tucking your little girl, Holly, in at night." "Oh, that's a nice touch." "What's that?" "Making sure he saw us talking together." "Will you cooperate?" "I have to think about it." "Well, don't take too long." "Now that he's seen us chatting together, he'll start to sweat, wondering weather you're going to give him up or not." "To guarantee your silence, he might do something nasty." "So the little stroll wasn't to scare him, it was to scare me." "Jesus, you cover every angle, don't you?" "I try." "Now look, tonight's your big premiere, and Beecher's big finale." "I've got a little opening night present for you." "Right before your fight scene, instead of handing you the prop knife," "I'm gonna give you a real one." "You get to stab that sucker right there on stage in front of everybody." "And all we say is, like, "It was an accident."" "So, if I tell Taylor what he wants to hear, I'll be home in a matter of weeks while Keller heads back to death row, marking off the calendar." "And all you have to do is subvert the truth." "The question is... can you live the rest of your life knowing it was built on a lie." "But it's not a lie, exactly." "I mean Keller is guilty." "Yes, but it hasn't been proven." "Your saying that he said something he didn't say is not proof." "Tobias, we live in a nation of laws, some of which are inspired and some of which are just lousy, but we can't abandon our moral code whenever it's convenient." "Then we might as well just open all the gates of all the prisons." "I want to be with my children." "My dear Tobias, in all my years sitting across that desk, I have learned one thing." "Most people who come to be with a problem have already made up their minds, how they'll proceed." "They're just here hoping I'll agree with them, hoping I'll make them feel better." "I can't do that with you." "I gotta go." "Tonight's the opening night of "Macbeth."" "I have to get ready." "Miguel, are you okay?" "Just a little opening night jitters." "A little cotton, cotton mouth." "Okay You set?" "Let's make theatrical history." "Alright." "You guys ready?" "I'm so excited I'm gonna bust my buttons." "Don't do that, it's a rental." "Alright, everybody, we worked hard, so now's the time to have fun." "So, if you flub a line, just keep going." "If you miss a cue, don't panic." "I'm very proud of all of you." "Break a leg." "Have a good show, Beecher." "Miguel, dim the house lights." "Good evening, and welcome to the premier production of the Oswald Players." "Before we begin, there are a few changes in the program." "The second Weird Sister will be played by Reggie Rawls instead of Chico Guerra." "Banquo will be played by Tom Smeeding instead of Agamemnon Busmalis." "And Norman Duttweiler will play King Duncan instead of Burr Redding." "I would also like to say that Warden Leo Glynn was a great supporter of bringing the arts to Oz, and so, we dedicate tonight performance in his memory, and also to the memory of Cyril O'Reily." "Thank you." "They spent some money on this shit." ""When shall we three meet again?" "In thunder, lightning, or in rain?"" ""When the hurlyburly's done," "When the battle's lost and won."" ""That will be the set of sun."" ""Where the place?"" ""Upon the heath."" ""There to meet with Macbeth."" ""Hie thee hither," "That I may pour my spirits in thine ear;" "And chastise with the valor of my tongue" "All that impedes thee from the golden round," "Which fate and metaphysical aid..."" ""...doth seem To have thee crown'd withal."" ""What is thy name?"" ""Thou'lt be afraid to hear it."" ""No; though thou call'st thyself a hotter name" "Than any is in hell."" ""My name's Macbeth."" "Toby, I've got a plan, a way to get Schillinger out of our life forever." "I don't want to hear it." "Just give me my prop." ""Thou wast born of woman." "But swords I smile at, weapons laugh to scorn," "Brandish'd by man that's of a woman born."" ""Turn, hell-hound, turn!"" ""Of all men else I have avoided thee:" "But get thee back; my soul is too much charg'd" "With blood of thine already."" ""I have no words," "My voice is in my sword: thou bloodier villain" "Than terms can give thee out!"" "Stick him!" "Stick him!" "You're a dead man, sweet pea." "That cocksucker." "Dr. Nathan!" "That motherfucker's dead!" "Hey, get back." "Get the fuck back." "As you know, we're investigating what happened what happened on the stage, trying to determine weather Schillinger's death was accidental or intentional." "Chris Keller says he handed you the knife just before your entrance." "How did a real knife get on the prop table?" "I don't know." "Susan Fitzgerald says there were no problems during the rehearsals." "Schillinger and Keller seemed very friendly, they were horsing around and stuff." "What about Beecher?" "He--he seemed fine." "Distant, but not in the least bit confrontational." "All of which jibes with the statement you made immediately after you stabbed Schillinger." "Do you have anything to add at this time?" "No, sir." "We've decided to rule that Schillinger's death was accidental." "You're coming back to Em City." "Thank you." "Thank you, all." "What are you doing here?" "I asked Querns to transfer me back." "I guess he convinced McManus." "Even made us roomies." " No.\" " Yeah." "Nothing's changed, Chris." "I know, you've got the top bunk, just like before." "I mean my feelings haven't changed." "I'm gonna go to McManus, ask him to move me to another pod." "Move me to gen pop." "Toby, Goddamn it." "Look, will you get it through your head, I don't want you in my life." "After everything I've done for you." "Yeah, like almost getting me sent to death row." "Hey, if it weren't for me, pal, you'd be in the morgue instead of Schillinger." "Maybe." "But if you think I got any satisfaction out of killing him, you wrong." "You don't know me at all." "I don't know you?" "I know you're free of that Nazi fuck." "No, I'm not." "No more free then I am of his two sons." "Or Metzger." "Or Cathy Rockwell." "Chris, after six years in this place," "I'm not sure about anything anymore..." "Heaven, justice, truth." "The only thing I believe in is life, every life is precious." "Not just yours or mine, but every single person on the planet who's breathing, their lives are precious." "And the loss of a single life, even in Oz, is my loss, too." "Well, that's bullshit." "The only thing that matters is you and me." "I don't expect you to understand." "You kill for sport." "I don't understand?" "I'm not the one who got here by accident, pal." "I kill because I have to." "I kill what stands in my way, like the Aryans." "What?" "What about the Aryans?" "They're no threat to us anymore." "I took care of that." "How?" "How'd you take care of it?" "Never mind." "Kiss me." "Wait." "Answer me this first, okay?" "I want you to be honest, okay?" "Did you purposely fuck up my parole?" "Toby, I couldn't face the rest of my life living in here without you." "Don't you see?" "I did what I did out of love." "If you really love me, then leave me alone." "I can't." "Listen to me, listen to me." "I loved alcohol." "I loved heroin." "I had to put them behind me because they were poison." "Death." "You are death." "Let me live." "I can't." "Motherfucker!" "Toby, I love you." "Beecher, don't!" "No!" "No!" "God is a funny fellow, Sister." "See, I decided this morning to cooperate with the FBI to help them convict Keller." "And now, with Keller dead, that opportunity is gone, and with it my chance for freedom." "In fact, I may be facing the death penalty for Keller's murder." "You didn't push him, did you?" "No." "Well, let's hope this time the truth works for you." "You know, he said he did what he did out of love." "Oh, love is used as an excuse for so many things." "No." "He really did love me, Sister." "Yes." "And I loved him." "When God was designing the universe, why did he make something so wonderful so fucking painful?" "I think he thought we could handle it." "I'm going to move you back to Unit J." "I'm concerned about the Aryans taking revenge on you for killing Schillinger." "I said the same thing to Keller." "He said, "Don't worry, I've handled the Aryans."" "What did he mean by that?" "Hey, Andenaur, check it out." "You got a package." "Hmm, no name, no return address." "What the fuck is this?" "I don't know." "They're all dead?" "Yes, plus two C.O.'s." "From what?" "I'm not sure, but it could be any number of toxins or chemicals." "I cordoned off the area, but I've got to tell you, this is way beyond my expertise." "What do we do?" "Call the state bio-terrorism unit, and clear out the entire complex, fast!" "Proceed immediately to level one, emergency evacuation." "Proceed..." "Where are we going to take them?" "Beats the shit out of me." "All I've been told is the move is temporary." "We'll be back, someday." "Emergency evacuation." "Come on, move it!" "Let's go!" "Let's go, come on, let's go!" "Move to the back of the bus." ""Count!"" ""A lot of people thought we'd never reopen Emerald City."" ""Came out like nothing was happening."" ""I killed a man."" ""Fuck you."" ""Lights out, O'Reily."" ""Settle down."" ""Officer!"" ""Follow the routine."" ""We tell you when to sleep, when to eat, when to piss."" "One of the man (Tom Fontana) shuts the lights off" "So, what have we learned?" "What's the lesson for today?" "For all the never-ending days and restless nights in Oz?" "That morality is transient?" "That virtue cannot exist without violence?" "That to be honest is to be flawed?" "That the giving and taking of love both debases and elevates us?" "That God or Allah or Yahweh has answers to questions we dare not even ask?" "The story is simple." "A man lives in prison and dies." "How he dies, that's easy." "The who and the why is the complex part." "The human part." "The only part worth knowing." "Peace."
