Hello? Yes,

thank you for accepting the call.

Uh, can I speak to Greg Bernard, please?

Mr. Reid, Mr. Bernard isn't available.

All right, can you put me through to his cellphone?

It's urgent that I speak to him.

There was a situation in general population.

It wasn't my fault, but they sent me

to solitary confinement for it as punishment.

I apologize. I can let Mr. Bernard know.

No, ma'am, just don't apologize.

Just listen to me, okay?

They... they've confiscated all my belongings.

I don't have anything, not a pencil, not a paper.

So unless Greg can help me retrieve my things,

I won't be able to mail out my statement

for petition to appeal.

It was supposed to go out today for my hearing next week.

Do you understand?

I'm being informed

that your hearing was postponed.

Okay, okay. This is... excellent.

Thank you. When is it rescheduled for?

How long do I have to get my statement in to Greg?

I'm sorry, but

your hearing has been postponed indefinitely.

You said you were just informed.

By who, one of the other partners?

Can I speak to one of them, please?

Put them on the phone.

They... they're gonna send me back to my cell.

Can you put one of them on the phone, please?

That's just not possible.

I don't think you understand me.

They've given me a life sentence and I'm innocent.

This is not a joke.

Mr. Reid, I'm sorry.

Why do you keep apologizing to me?

Just put one of them on the phone.

You should have received notice in the mail.

You're being sued in civil court.

Your assets have been frozen.

And since you're technically unable to pay,

the firm has decided not to move forward with your case.

Greg would not do that to me.

We have been friends since middle school.

I'm so sorry. We sent you the documents

so you can refile your appeal with a public defender.

Or you can represent yourself.

I'm really very sorry.

Up against the wall.

- -

Let's walk.

It's just a random check.

For what?

What's this?

You know,

there is nothing that you can think of

that I haven't thought first.

Oh, what's wrong?

I thought all dogs like the smell of their own rectum.

That's not mine.

According to who?

It's according to whom.

- Oh, it's according to whom. -

Really?

Yeah.

If you were smart as you think you are,

you wouldn't be here,

would you, Dr. Reid?

I read your file.

I got a jacket on...

all the inmates here in the SHU.

I was already searched.

Oh, not by me.

You see, if I had to strip searched you and this turned up

stashed in your cavity,

I would have shoved my boot so far up your ass,

this razor would have come out of your mouth.

Get up.

First offense is 90 days.

Anything like this happens again,

I'm gonna add on a whole year.

Hey, you.

You like to hurt women?

Yeah, you know that's why Sacks is fucking with you, right?

Hey, friend, with all due respect,

it's been a long day.

I really don't feel like talking right now,

so if you don't mind.

Excuse me, guard.

When do I get my belongings?

My legal papers. It's... it's urgent.

I need them today.

This ain't the Four Seasons, motherfucker.

- -

Keep off the door!

Goddammit, Zeke.

Pull the mattress off the window.

Keep this up and you will suffer the consequences.

There's things going on in this prison...

- This ain't right. -

The fucking bitches...

- - Don't!

Zeke!

They're never gonna let me out of here!

- We're coming in. - Three seconds.

No, you come in here...

Three.

Two.

One. Open the cell door.

Don't!

Zeke, Zeke!

Get that bitch away from me!

- -

Let go!

You're breaking my fucking arm!

You're breaking my arm!

Fuck you!

Show the warden some respect.

Let go!

Ow! You're fucking hurting me!

Excuse me, guard.

My tray, I don't think I had a full portion.

Can I have a little bit more?

Please?

Oh, don't you look nice.

Sorry I'm late.

It's okay.

Understood.

Careful.

Thank you.

Oh, look.

It's our guardian angel.

It's what we call pareidolia.

Our brains are wired to perceive faces in things.

It's actually a form of pattern recognition.

Can't I just appreciate the view?

You don't think that that's...

Interesting?

Mm-mm.

So, you didn't bring any clothes to work in?

I thought the whole point of buying this boat

was so that we can relax.

We haven't even started.

Baby, it's such a beautiful day.

Why can't we just enjoy it?

Why don't we take the boat out for a lap around the bay,

and then we'll work, I promise.

We need this.

We need what?

To fix this.

There's a passage I'd like to share with you,

one that occurs to me in times like this.

Let every man be subject to the governing authorities

for there is no authority except from God.

And those authorities that do exist,

have been instituted by God.

Yeah.

I don't like the segregated housing unit.

It changes people.

Every time an inmate has to be extracted, they call me down

and I see it firsthand.

That man in the cell next to you, Zeke,

he flooded out his cell because he was desperate,

desperate for human contact.

I have a prison to run.

I have a responsibility to my staff

and to the other inmates to segregate the troublemakers.

Oh, man.

That's not mine.

You know that.

It was in your mattress.

Maybe... I can help you help yourself.

If, for instance, you were willing to enroll

in a behavior modification program,

I can commute your stay in the segregated housing unit.

You would be able to reenter

the general population immediately.
