I need my meds. There ain't no more. Infirmary's out of what

you need. That can't happen.

Can't happen.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Frozen cow.

Everybody back to your cell.

Frozen cow.

Everybody back to your cell.

Cell, sir.

I repeat.

So you're selling me?

Hey, Eitner.

Did someone actually bust out of here?

Or do you just get off on court for this poor, helpless female?

Yeah.

You're helpless in downtown Cruz.

Let's go back into Kate.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hands off my hair.

Don't breathe the pizza.

One, two, three, four, five, six,

seven, eight.

Ten. Eleven.

Twelve. Thirteen.

Fourteen. Fifteen.

Fifteen.

Sixteen.

Oh, this is what I need.

More paperwork.

Everyone bags on my town.

Fantasy,

it was for me.

Take a look around, just another day.

See more than me.

Anybody.

Please see it free.

Something.

Put it down.

Just another day.

for the case i don't agree there must be other candidates none as qualified as

chris i need her i need her too she's the only female officer i know who could

pull this off sorry detective you are letting your personal feelings color

judgment would you send in your wife detective thomas isn't married send me

where he wants to send you to prison what's the case her name was janelle

she was a sweet kid not too bright she mule drugs for her no good boyfriend

Well, she was murdered this morning at Lindero Prison.

How does it work? I go on cold, I have no lead?

Not to mention the 10 to 15 people she's put behind bars there. They'll make her

as a cop.

The warden has agreed to sweep the population of any prior contacts, okay?

do have one lead.

Janelle was tight with an inmate named Sylvia Ramos.

Now, all you have to do is gain her trust.

What the detective has failed to mention is that there have been three murders

at Lindero in the last six months. All the more reason to go in. All the more

danger for whoever does.

Eric, why is this so important to you?

Because I put her there.

I promised her immunity to send up her boyfriend.

An election year DA reneged on my deal.

I told her she'd be okay.

And now she's dead.

You married a cop? Hop, TC. You knew there'd be dangers in my life. Well,

there's acceptable risk, and then there's unacceptable risk. True, but

you draw the line?

Look, I'd hope we'd draw that line together.

He's going to say when it's not your case.

It's not your case either, Chris. You're not doing this because of some noble

cause. If you're doing this, you can lock yourself into Thomas' next opening

Homestead. So what if I am? Isn't that how it works?

Hard work and talent get rewarded. Ooh, that is the scariest smile I've ever

seen. You know what I think?

I think you're jealous.

Of Eric Thomas?

He didn't like to eavesdrop on people's conversation.

I can't hear a thing.

Me neither.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe I'm scared?

Look, Chris, if anything were to happen to you, I don't know what I'd do.

I'll be safe. The population will be swept. You heard what Eric said?

What Eric said? What Eric said? Listen, if you have a problem with Eric, it's

yours. I'm just trying to make a career here.

Oh, man.

Look at you.

Poor TC.

Oh, please. This coming from a man who's honed in on Corey McNamara?

You two off duty or something?

Oh.

Let's on bikes.

Now.

You were going to do this all along, weren't you? I wasn't sure when I walked

through that door, but now I am. So I never had a choice. My opinion doesn't

matter. I'm sorry, TC, but...

It wasn't your choice to make.

No. But there are some choices I can still make.

Me?

Undercover. Mm -hmm.

As a guard in a women's prison. Yep. Lindaro State.

Am I there to protect Chris or solve these homicides?

Ideally both.

I agreed to Chris' assignment only on the condition that a male partner be

placed inside as well.

How did I earn the honor?

It's not an honor, Bobby.

You owe me.

For all the times I've covered for you over the last three months, I'm just

calling in the marker. All I have to do is immerse myself for a week in a sea of

lonely, captive, man -hungry women?

Boss, I think we're even.

Don't confuse what's in that yard with real women.

The only thing they have in common with your mother and your sister is the

plumbing.

I presume you're speaking from experience.

Are you kidding me?

I wouldn't lower myself.

Hey, they all need loving.

You're Bobby Del Norte.

And your matron, Sarah Dexter.

Pleasure to be here.

We'll see if you still feel that way on Friday.

Your LAPD discharge.

Excessive violence?

Every now and then I get a little hot.

Maybe someday I'll get to see that firsthand.

You load.

Come on.

I don't think I'm going to make it.

I'm going to throw up. Breathe in and out. In and out.

Anyone say you could talk inmate?

I'm a smart one.

This one's been around.

Get out of my sight.

Know what they say about me, darling?

Only one queen to a hive.

Oh, hey, dibs on that blonde.

Blonde, huh?

What do you think?

No way, man.

I'm all over that action.

If you scam a meal, I will know.

If you start a fight, I will know.

I dispense privileges.

And I also provide my very own personal brand of discipline.

Are we clear on that?

Yes, Chief Major and Dexter.

What are you, mute?

No.

Yes, Chief Major.

Drop your towel.

This is a de -lousing tank.

Give your fellow inmates a good demonstration.

I can do that.

All right, inmate, you do it.

Whip her.

Hey, Lieutenant.

I couldn't quite reach the spot.

I hope Kristen's in mind if I borrow her hose.

You see where she is? You know, she really doesn't need it.

And if you don't tell, she'll never have to know.

Like you could use a protector in here. Yeah?

Sure.

Some of these chicks would rip your head off and spit down your throat.

I'm trembling.

Maybe you should be. You spend the night with Brenda.

Then if you think you'd be more comfortable in your own cell, we can

That's my bed.

That's my other bed.

Mind if I borrow it for three to five years?

I heard you were tough.

What are you in for?

Fraud. Wrote some bad checks.

Three to five?

It must have been some big checks.

Why write small ones?

Why do you get special clothes?

Because my sister's the warden.

It's none of your freaking business, all right?

Now, here's a few rules.

I think I heard everything from that Nazi Dexter.

I'm talking about my rules, debutante.

New girl does the scut.

You clean up, pick up, and wipe up.

I say fetch, and you fetch.

Got it?

I said got it, Muffy?

Got it.

Now, here are my rules.

One, don't you ever touch me again. You're a dead woman.

Two, disrespect me again and you'll be wiping the cell with your tongue.

Three,

that's my bed.

You borrow that one from me. Got it?

Now clean this place up.

It's a mess.

How are you?

No check cutter I ever met could do that.

Did I say you could talk?

I didn't sleep a wink last night.

It was so hot.

I just wanted to rip my clothes off and pour water all over myself.

Can't they cool this place down?

Sure they can, but they won't.

It's all part of their plan.

God, what is this stuff?

I don't know.

Mine's got a tail.

You know, there are a lot of perks to this job if you play your hand the smart

way.

I'm one hell of a card player.

Did you give any thought to my little offer last night?

Nope.

Wow.

You spilled.

There's no seconds.

I'm sorry.

You could dish out the worst you got.

You can starve me, but you will never have sex with me.

What in the hell are you looking at?

Nice move.

Thanks.

It'll get you killed.

Chris, call out me.

Silvia Ramos. But I'm not talking to him.

Why not?

Here's why not.

The rule, as I understand it, is no talking during lunch.

Your food would digest so much better in this nice, low -stress ambiance.

If you had any food, that is.

I was delivering for Robbie when they tested me. I mean, I sort of knew it was

sweet, but I wasn't sure.

Any carrot?

Cute? He used you to deliver his drugs and then let you take the fall.

He didn't mean to.

He's had a tough life.

So now you're doing his time.

He'd go crazy in jail.

There's a law about us having one of these that works in here.

What do you want?

Peace offering.

Lo siento mucho.

Here, you can have one too.

So how's it going with Brenda?

Fine. No big deal.

No big deal?

That's a big deal. In the two years that I've been here, no one has lasted more

than one night in her cell.

I watched myself before you.

So I hear you're the jailhouse lawyer.

I was hoping you could help me out with my case.

Lo siento.

I didn't get in trouble for that.

That's the trouble that Janelle Baker got into?

She was your friend, right?

Who's been flapping their jaws?

No secrets in the cell block.

Well, all the more reason for you to keep your mouth shut. Comprende?

If Janelle would have known this, she would have never taken on the guards.

So you're saying the guards killed her?

You know, you're full of questions, Elena.

And I don't even know you.

Well, well.

What's that?

A check?

I missed you last night.

Sorry.

I was busy.

Busy.

You know, Brenda, it's not like you to miss one of our appointments.

What was that you said about bees the other day?

Only one queen to a hive.

Right. Right.

Well, let's not forget who the real queen of the hive is.

Sorry to drag you out of the shower.

What's up, Monica?

This is a little embarrassing. I just had a pizza delivered and I'm a little

short. Can I borrow five bucks?

Sure. My wallet's in my jeans.

Have you had anything for dinner? I have a deep dish with veggies waiting

next door.

No kidding.

It's my favorite.

Gee, really?

But I already had dinner.

Well, at least now I can tell everyone I got into your pants.

Just make sure you tell them it only cost me five bucks.

Ouch.

We are getting ripped off.

Hey, stupid pays what it pays.

The fence will take as much as we got, but it pays the prices.

We are moving pharmaceutical grade Demerol and Vicodin. We've got big

TVs. Three air conditioning units.

Sorry. I thought I smelled coffee.

Wow.

Two whole days and you still haven't quit the place.

You'll find I've got plenty of staying power.

Reitner, give us a moment.

You, uh, said something about perks of the job?

Yes, I did.

Now, are these added rewards purely physical, or are they financial as well?

Sex for money. Now, what does that make you?

Rich and satisfied.

There is some extra money to be made.

What's wrong, Audrey?

I stood on line for a half an hour to call Robbie, and some girl answers.

Sounds like a loser. It's time to move on.

Move on where?

Look where we are.

Start your life over at any moment, even here.

Here. Drown your sorrow.

Against the rules, newbie. Through the rules.

Hey, inmate.

No eating in the yard.

Get out of here. Go.

What are you, deaf or something? I said no eating.

Not eating.

Spit that out right now.

You just got yourself some punishment.

Go.

No problem. Very convincing.

What happened to your finger?

A matron bit me.

I hope I don't get a lockjaw.

Well, I hate to say it, but stay after her. The guards are free here.

And it's some kind of black market thing. I caught the tailwind of

between Dexter and Aitner.

I don't think you like him too much. You might have better luck with him.

You caught the thing?

Not supposed to.

Give it to me. What?

What the hell are you doing?

Now when I cut you into the phone line to call your husband, no one will wonder

why.

I miss you.

I miss our bed.

I miss you, too.

How you doing?

I'm okay.

I mean, not really. It's horrible.

I'll bet it is.

How's Bobby?

He's managing.

Well, it's not a place I'd choose to be.

TC, please don't start.

Start with what?

I'm worried about you.

Well, can you worry without making it sound like I screwed up?

I'm not saying that.

You think this is easy for me?

I don't believe it. I'm the one in prison and you tell me how hard it is on

Chris, I'm sorry.

What'd you give her?

Halcyon? Prozac?

Thorazine?

Nope.

Something a little bit stronger than that.

Clean up in there.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

Where I come from, apologies usually begin with, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Why don't you go to the infirmary and get something for your pain?

You did.

Aspirin. Sick pill.

I gave it to Stella. She gets migraines.

Aspirin? Nothing stronger?

Around here, pain meds bring big bucks.

They're bound to get diverted before they reach us.

What got you in here, Brenda?

My no -good cheating husband.

He just happened to fall on a knife while I was home.

I just want to know one thing.

Why haven't you been bragging to everyone how you beat me up?

I figured it was just between you and me.

We think the guards are hijacking half the prisoners' supplies onto the black

market. Electronics, food, drugs, especially drugs.

And Janelle was killed because she found out.

Who did it?

Still working on that.

You know, you better work fast.

You've got about another 24 hours, tops.

Yeah, but if we're moving too soon, Dexter will close ranks.

Cover her tracks.

Yeah, if you move too late, you're dead.

You sound like my husband.

Yeah, well...

We both have strong feelings about you.

I saw TC yesterday.

He was with that blonde rookie, uh, what's her name?

Harper.

Monica Harper.

Who's this? A lawyer. Why?

You thinking different?

No, that's right.

Haircut's pretty good, too.

Well, what's wrong?

He is.

Most of them can't even get out of bed the first month.

She's been the happy homemaker since day one.

I want in.

My, my, aren't we direct?

Come on, I know you're the bonehead.

Set for yourself.

Whatever scam you went here working with the drugs here, I bet I can double your

return.

Are these rewards fairly financial, or are we talking physical as well?

I took this job with fringe benefits.

Uh, Monica hurt her ankle and we just needed to get some ice.

And this was easier than bringing the ice back to her.

Corey, wait. This isn't what it looks like.

You jerk.

What the hell am I supposed to tell my friend?

Hey, Chris.

You ought to start taking better care of your thing.

What thing?

Your sweet, young thing, Audrey.

What about her?

Well, Moona says she's having a heart -to -heart with Eitner.

Down in the cafeteria.

Well, come on. You can't let him have her.

Come on, Gweta. Let's go see what happened.

You're the one. You lead, we follow.

Just so we're all clear on that.

No, please, don't.

Come on, Audrey.

I picked you because you're a nice girl.

So be nice!

Let me go!

Or maybe I have to teach you how to be nice.

Get it?

Want me to be a teacher? I can do that.

See? See, this is good. No, no, no. Now, you can be teacher's pet. Come on.

No, you don't.

Get out of here!

Are you all in solitary?

Solitary ain't big enough for all of us.

She attacked me.

That's an automatic five years under sentence.

Not if she was stopping a rape way.

You interfering with staff, Sylvia?

You want an extra nickel too, huh?

Don't want to think so.

Get out of here.

Not going to happen.

Not and leave her with you.

Let's just say Audrey had a little accident.

And let's all agree, it's over now.

Right?

Yeah,

that's right.

That's what happened.

Get in the yard.

All of you.

How's the ankle?

What?

Oh, yeah, it's okay.

You're a fast healer.

Yeah, I took some Chinese herbs. Amazing.

Yeah, amazing's the word.

Look, Monica, one of the reasons why I stayed with the squad so long is because

we're like family.

We back each other up no matter what.

Yeah, I get that feeling right away, too.

And that includes not scamming on our partner's spouses.

And what if the spouse was coming on to you?

Look, you saw TC carrying me the other night. It was not the other way around.

So maybe it's him you should be talking.

We have enough to move on him for grand larceny and sexual assault.

That's good enough for me.

You ready to get out of there? Yeah.

But Chris isn't. Not till we get him for the murders.

I don't care about that.

From what you said, those guards are more dangerous than the inmates.

Well, to be honest, I kind of agree with you, Lieutenant.

It'd be a shame to have come this far and not get him for the whole deal.

I don't know.

Bobby, this is too risky.

I want both of you out of there.

Mr. Macho and the Ice Princess are both cops.

I knew she was all wrong.

I'm telling you, Chris is real close. You've got the women rallying around

One of them's bound to talk.

You really wouldn't be proud of her, sir.

All right.

One more day.

But in the meantime, give me the names of the guards so I can start the war.

Jeeva, what took you so long?

You hear it too?

What is it?

Quiet.

And sister, it ain't never quiet in here.

Murder, grand larceny, and sexual assault.

Killing a police officer kind of rounds out the list, doesn't it? Make that two

police officers.

We know about Blondie.

So do a lot of other people.

They'll never get away with this.

Sure we will.

The two of you will be killed in a prison riot.

There'll be an inquiry. It'll come right back to you.

With no witnesses, with no evidence.

You know, I might lose my job.

But with what I've taken already, I'd say my retirement will be pretty

comfortable.

You know, you really blew it.

This could have been the job of your dreams.

Don't worry.

I'm sure you'll find yourself back in a prison real soon.

How's it looking? I don't know. Crew's got cut off.

Hard way, I'm afraid.

Guess what, sports fans?

Food search. Mace front.

This is the second time this month.

What's this all about?

They body searched every single one of us. It's harassment.

Pure and simple.

Can they do that?

What, you're going to just stop them?

You know, it is for your own good.

Food in your cells can attract roaches and rats.

Oh, but then, you already have a rat, don't you?

Hey, I'll do her. Come here.

Why the hell you will? Let go!

Let go!

You guys, we have our rights!

what a cop would say.

Is that true?

Tell her it's not true.

It's true.

But I'm here to help you.

You're spying on us? You're already in prison. What else could I possibly do to

you?

Listen, what the guards are doing is wrong.

I was sent here to investigate the killing of Janelle Baker.

And which one of us are you going to pin it on?

None of you.

It was you, wasn't it? You stabbed her. Tell me the truth or I swear I'll... I

was following orders.

Dexter wanted her dead.

There, you heard it.

You're all witnesses.

What we are is a bunch of convicted felons. Who's going to believe us?

Me and my partner.

You mean there's two of you?

The new guard, Bobby Del Norte. And if they set up this riot to bury me, they

have something else planned for him, too. I need your help.

I'm with you.

And if you sisters would just forget the cop label and think about how she's

treated us since she's been here, you'd be with her too.

Now what do you want us to do?

Oh, Louise.

Thank God. Please, help me.

There he is, Louise.

He's the guy who's been stealing your medication. I caught him red -handed.

No, Louise, I'm your friend. I believe he still has the drugs on him, Louise,

but he won't give them up.

If you want them, you're going to have to kill him.

Don't mind me.

Louise, put down the knife, okay?

Louise?

Louise, put down the knife.

Louise, no, he's not the one.

You okay?

Yeah.

Stop that, Lumberjack.

You're mine.

Go on.

Raise your wire. It's so bad.

You're going to be in here for the rest of your life.

And you're going to be in here with me.

for five years of pain.

Right now! No, don't!

Cuff. This one's mine.

You are under arrest for the crime of homicide. Anything you say can and will

used against you in a court of law.

I'm so glad this is over.

I haven't been able to sleep awake since you've been gone.

Me neither.

I missed you too.

Chris, do you think maybe we could use this feeling to try and start over

I gotta tell you, that is one very brave wife you got there, Lieutenant.

Thanks, I know.

Great job, Chris.

Thanks. I don't know how you did it, but all these women want to talk.

You busted this place wide open.

Yeah.

We'll be in touch.

Okay. Soon.

What?

What?

Hey, Chris.

Hey,

you just tell them to take Dexter and Aitner out of here and hang

up.

I kind of wish they'd stick her back in here with us.

No, you don't. You guys are going to stay out of trouble now, right?

Or do I have to come back and wipe the spell with you again, Brenda?

I think the real reason you came was to save my life.

You're an angel to me.

I'll just settle for a job well done.

Good luck, Audrey.

Oh, I'll be fine now.

I've got friends.

Of course, it isn't nearly as fine as going home to your man, is it?

Take care, huh?

You too.

Don't try to talk it down, why everyone backs

on my town.

The fantasy,

it works for me.

Take a look around,

just another day in L .A.

Everybody sees more than me.

Anybody thinks he is free.

Someday.

What is it now?

Just another day.
