you can't always play by the rules.

- It's hard for me to do a job like this.

- I don't care.

You want her gone as badly as I do.

Look, I'm working on something, right?

Fight. Football field. Get over here.

Wilson! Davis!

Get back now. Get back now.

On the fence! On the fence!

You know

how overcrowded we already are!

Then you take the responsibility!

Because I'm...

He's got his knickers in a twist

about something.

Come in!

- How many injuries?

- 16. Mostly minor.

- How minor?

- Few stitches, couple of broken bones.

- One fractured skull.

- They're just getting used to life inside.

Plus we got a fair number

of hooligans in with that last lot.

And will in the next.

Next?

This is an official notification.

We're to receive 74 more prisoners

within two weeks.

We're being designated temporary authority

to effect the early release of some 60 prisoners.

I want you to come up

with a list of prisoners

who will not menace

society if released early.

And I'd like it tomorrow.

Dismissed.

People in power don't understand

Home fires burning,

the home fires burning

What it takes to run this land

Home fires burning,

the home fires burning

They're so inept, it's just not true

Home fires burning,

the home fires burning

And it destroys the lives

of me and you

Home fires burning,

the home fires burning

You don't live on the street,

you don't feel the edge

You're not qualified to say

I want to live my life

on these streets of mine

Detached from reality

You don't live on the street,

you don't feel the edge

You're not qualified to say

I want to live my life

on these streets of mine

Detached from reality...

Cosgrove. Yeah, it's me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Just shut up and f***ing listen.

I can get out.

Yeah, but it's gonna cost.

Two grand.

Yeah. Right f***ing now.

Sir.

This name at the top.

He's in for attempted rape, is he not?

- No, sir.

- Jenkins?

Oh, him. Yes, I believe he may be.

Tyman, Wadlow.

Carson.

Why are these names on this list

when I specifically asked for a list

that posed no threat to the community?

It seems a whole different set of criteria

was used to make this list

rather than public safety.

Now, what could that be, Officer Mavis?

Rehabilitation, sir.

What you frequently call

the foundation of the prison system.

Isn't that right, Officer Mason?

Sir, in the event that you may have

found the list unsuitable,

an alternative list was prepared.

Well, this is better.

Yes, yes, yes, good. Very good.

I find myself agreeing with

every name on this list...

save these three.

Even in their short time with us

they have been trouble.

Sir, instead of the three

you've so rightly questioned,

may I suggest the three

at the top of my list.

In their time here,

they've been model prisoners.

Never a problem from any of them.

Sir, the three I put forward

are here for hooligan activity

principally directed against

the three inmates Officer Mavis proposes.

My three, no arrests, no convictions

prior to their present lock-up.

- No threat to the general public...

- Look at their record, sir.

My three have never been any trouble.

They've never been nicked,

they've never been a problem.

His three - chronic fighting,

stays in segregation.

Where is Solomon

when you need him?

You don't need to be Solomon

to pick my three, sir.

But I do understand

it's a very difficult decision.

If you don't mind my saying, you bear

a great deal of responsibility, sir.

Convicted criminals were frequently used

as gladiators in ancient Rome.

If they survived the life long enough,

they could be freed.

Is that right, sir?

Often teams of gladiators

were pitted against each other.

Is that your way of making a decision, sir?

Why not...

let them compete for this prize?

Chin up.

Good news.

How would you all like

to get out of here next week?

Well, if it's good news,

something always follows it.

How good are you at football?

- What are they doing to you in here?

- Sweetheart,

looks worse than it feels.

You are really honest with me

about what goes on in here?

You've got enough to worry about.

I've got some good news, though.

What?

Well, cos these clubs

have made me better-looking

and I'm such a model prisoner,

the Governor's gonna allow me

and the boys a game of footy.

- Football?

- Mm-hm.

Remember how I told you how each cell block

has a team and they compete for prizes?

Well, this particular prize

is a little bit special.

See, the winner of this game...

gets to walk out of here next week.

- That is a terrible way to tease me.

- Do I look like I'm teasing?

You're saying there's a chance

you could be released?

I believe that is what I just said, yeah.

- Honestly?

- Yeah, if we win.

If you win this football match?

Right.

Then what are you doing here?

You're a terrible player.

- Leave it out.

- Get out there and practise

- every single moment till the match.

- All right.

You must win this, Dave. You must.

We've got a couple of tasty Russian boys

on our side, so there's a good chance.

- Not sure I should have told ya.

- But you did and now I know,

and I don't care how it happened,

but you must win and come home.

I understand.

Please.

Darling, I've gotta get back to work.

Please win.

- Please come home to me.

- I'll do my best.

That's her over there.

Oh, yeah.

Bit of all right, in't she?

What d'you reckon?

You know what I want you to do, mate.

So just do it.

One-two, one-two, one-two!

Try to hit it.

Come on. Come on.

Whoa!

Oh, and again.

That's what I do

on a Saturday afternoon

Down at Upton Park or a pitch near you

Better watch out or we're gonna do you

Oh! Let's go! Claret and blue!

I said, oh! Let's go!

Claret and blue!

I'm forever blowing bubbles

on a Saturday afternoon

Hey!

About a thousand miles away,

we got a crew

It's all about the Hammers

and three points

Yeah, yeah, keep it down, all right?

Better watch out or we're gonna do you

Oh! Let's go! Claret and blue!

I said, oh! Let's go! Claret and blue!

Down at Upton Park or a pitch near you

Better watch out or we're gonna do you

Oh! Let's go! Claret and blue!

Great save!

Oh! Let's go! Claret and blue!

- Yes?

- We're in the furniture moving business,

- thought you might like some help.

- We've got someone.

We don't take no for an answer!

He's a speedy little c*nt.

He's a speedy little c*nt.

We've just gotta slow him down.

I don't understand. How can we play man to

man if we don't know what any of them can do?

eith, you're not getting it.

There are no rules.

- Right? This is gonna be a f***ing war.

- Lucky it's only a 20-minute game, then.

That's about all

they expect it to last, mate.

That's all we need.

On the pitch in half an hour or you forfeit.

And we wouldn't want that, would we?

Everyone's so looking forward to the show.

Is it wrong that I wanna f*** her?

Are you having a laugh?

- Look, I need a word.

- You ain't going nowhere, you c*nt.
