Hey, Beecher, this one’s for you.
Tobias Beecher
It’s empty.
Yeah. We had to confiscate the contents.
Tobias Beecher
A letter from my grandmother? What could have possibly been in here that you had to confiscate it?
Well, if I told you, then you’d know.
What's your best memory of your son?
Tobias Beecher
The first time he came up unprompted and hugged me and said, "Daddy, I love you."
Beecher, I promise not to hurt your daughter or anybody else in your family. See, I wanna believe that you are innocent of killing Hank. I wanna believe because I need to believe in something. Something besides hate. This grandchild that's coming is my last chance. My last hope. I want this kid to put his arms around my neck and say, "I love you." Because see, I never had that before.
Tobias Beecher
I am sorry about your son.
I'm sorry about yours too.
[inmates watch TV game show "Up Your Ante", with Tim McManus competing against Robert Iler]
UYUp Your Ante Host
We start off with $10, and the category today, Tim, is vocabulary. And the question is:what is a tittle?
I think I know this. I'm gonna humor you, I'm gonna ask for a hint. Did you cover this in sixth grade English, Robert?
RIRobert Iler
Well, first off, I'm in high school. And yeah, they did cover this... In the third grade.
UYUp Your Ante Host
Would you like to give him a hint, Robert?
RIRobert Iler
It comes with crosses on T's.
I saw a show where they were discussing tittles, and it wasn't punctuation.
RIRobert Iler
Yeah, it's not punctuation. It's a diacritical mark.
[cut to inmates watching]
Tobias Beecher
Kid's right.
[cuts back to TV]
You're a good guy, Robert, but I've been around a little longer. A tittle is a breast implant.
[cuts back to inmates]
CPChucky Pancamo
Leave it to McManus to go for breasts.
[cuts back to TV]
UYUp Your Ante Host
No, in fact, it is the dot above an "I."
[buzzer sounds, then cuts back to inmates]
CCCarmen 'Chico' Guerra
I always knew McManus was an idiot. Now everybody else does, too.
Yo, man, don't be fucking dogging McManus out, all right?
CCCarmen 'Chico' Guerra
Oh, I'm sorry, White. I forgot you've been sucking his cock these days.
I'm not sucking his cock, fag.
CCCarmen 'Chico' Guerra
Then... You must be taking it up the ass.
Who are all these numbnuts who play the lottery?
ABAgamemmnon Busmalis
I played the lottery.
Tobias Beecher
Me too.
Like I said. Numbnuts. Out of 51 numbers, you got to pick the right number not once, but six times in a row.
ABAgamemmnon Busmalis
I say it is possible to win.
Jesus Christ, Busmalis. You'd have a better chance of getting struck by lightening.
ABAgamemmnon Busmalis
Approximately 1,000 people a year win a million dollars or more in North American lotteries. In contrast, less then a hundred people a year hit by lightening.
This will be the first time I ever have to make my own bed.
Tobias Beecher
Adam, take my word. Nothing you experienced growing up in Bryant Park has prepared you for life in Oz. I know it's hard but I'll be here for you. I promise. Your dad was my scoutmaster for God's sake.
You have to understand something. That girl Franklin and I raped... We were drunk. All of us. Partying. I blacked out. I never meant to hurt her.
Tobias Beecher
Yeah but you did. That's why you're standing where you're standing. Don't forget that. Ever. The guilt may keep you sane. Get settled and uh...I'll introduce you around.
CKChris Keller
If it weren't for me, you'd be in the morgue, instead of Schillinger.
Tobias Beecher
Maybe.
Tobias Beecher
But if you think I got any satisfaction out of killing him, you're wrong. You don't know me at all.
CKChris Keller
I don't know you? I know you're free of that Nazi fuck!
Tobias Beecher
No, I'm not. No more free than 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.
CKChris Keller
Well, that's bullshit. The only thing that matters is you and me.
Tobias Beecher
I don't expect you to understand. You kill for sport.
CKChris Keller
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.
Tobias Beecher
What? What about the Aryans?
CKChris Keller
That they're no threat to us anymore. I took care of that.
Tobias Beecher
How? How'd you take care of it?
CKChris Keller
Never mind, kiss me.
Tobias Beecher
Wait. Answer me this first, okay?
Tobias Beecher
I want you to be honest, okay? Did you purposely fuck up my parole?
CKChris Keller
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.
Tobias Beecher
If you really love me, then leave me alone.
Tobias Beecher
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.
