No.

That's where everyone goes

when they first get here.

Then they observed me

and sent me over here.

They got better conditions,

I guess.

Yes.

Somebody told me

holding on to your anger's.

Like holding onto a hot coal

and waiting to throw it at somebody.

I know you're not faking it,

being in here.

But you've had something

wrong with you for a long time.

- That's no excuse.

- I know it's not!

You murdered my beautiful boy,

you son of a b*tch.

And I don't care how crazy you are

or what you thought he did.

I would very much like to do to you

what you did to him.

But I can't do that.

I have to stay as far away

from your kind of ugliness

as I can get.

I have to forgive you.

That's not why you're here.

You're here because

I was with him at the end.

You wanna know about it.

Yes.

I don't think he was in much

actual pain.

Not sharp pain, anyway.

He could feel something

bad happening, of course.

The first strike

was to the forearm,

which he raised

using a large wrench.

I knew that I broke it

right away.

He was questioning me,

you know.

Questioning the whole time.

He said...

He said, "Don't" at one point.

- Don't.

- He was looking right at me.

And I was gonna go

to hit him again,

in the leg this time.

With a hammer.

The sharp end.

The end that you

pull nails out with.

As I remember it now,

the way... the way he said,

"Don't... "

It was like I was

gonna hurt both of us.

I ended it after that.

It was a final hit to the top

of the head. Here.

I think I did it quick...

because I didn't...

I didn't wanna let it in.

I wanted to finish

what I wanted to do.

Do you attend the church

that they have here?

No.

Well, I...

I'm gonna go.

I'm gonna keep looking in

on your situation,

but, uh...

You're gonna get

what you deserve.

You won't understand it,

but you're gonna get it.

Mom? Mom?

- Hey.

- Hey.

She said we can have

some time together

as long as she's there,

of course.

Really?

Yeah. On my birthday.

Apparently you got

good references.

That's amazing.

Do you want to?

Sure. Yeah.

She's into it.

She is.

Is there a word

for someone like that?

What, into that kinda thing?

Yeah.

Um... yeah, I don't know.

- Uh, romantic?

- Yeah.

Hey, Tom. Going home?

Yeah. I'm outta here, man.

Come on. Eat up.

Eat it!

Come on. Eat it already!

Let's go! Eat it!

Eat it!

Hello, Allen.

Hi.

Eloy? You can come back

in an hour.

Hey.

Happy birthday.

You want a drink?

- No, what is that?

- Gin.

You guys get liquor

and stuff over here.

Maybe so. I've never seen it.

- You want?

- Nah.

I'm good.

Hope you don't mind me.

No. Not at all.

Hey.

Hey, come on. Let's go.

Yo.

Let's move it.

Whatever your deal is,

you take it over there, okay?

Hey. Monkey.

I said...

You feel that?

Yeah. That's sharp, ain't it?

- Take it easy.

- Don't you touch that radio, now.

Everything's gonna be okay.

- Get on your knees.

- We can work through this.

...Inalienable right

to brush his teeth.

The implements

of this hygienic process

have been first codified

by the code of...

What's up?

You know the way out of here?

Oh, yeah.

Well, don't just stay here.

Go on, escape. Run!

Go on!

Something's wrong now?

No.

Things are very right.

You're so serious.

Yeah.

That.

The fact is,

I don't know. I feel good.

It's strange.

You know,

it's like the better I feel,

- the stranger it is.

- Shut up.

Here, take a hit of this.

All right.

Wow.

- Yeah.

- Strong.

- Move.

- Hey.

- Which way is the best way out?

- This way.

All right, go up there and come back

here as soon as possible.

Don't get caught.

Please. I'm gonna go up here,

see if this door is open.

This is my thing.

- Scissors?

- What?

Scissors?

- What's that way?

- No, we gotta go this way.

- Well, can we get out here?

- Yeah, we go that way.

So what are you gonna do

when you get out?

What do you mean?

What, no plans?

Yeah. Be alone, then die.

Don't say that.

What do you think? I'm gonna

settle down in some nice, cozy...

Sure. You can put cookies on a pan

and take them off.

Funny.

No, but you could... you know,

you could find somebody or...

What would a normal guy

do with me?

He himself would have to be

seriously messed up.

Yeah, like me.

No. It doesn't matter.

I'm...

- I'm gonna tell you what I did, okay?

- No.

I killed a guy

for raping my girlfriend.

- Oh.

- That's what I did.

That's great. That's...

- That's marvelous.

- No, it's not.

- It's not great. Okay?

- Okay.

Whatever you say. I'm gonna go.

- I don't...

- Hey, please.

Don't go.

I don't want you to go.

Please.

Isn't this like...

I don't know.

God, you look so great

right now.

No.

Just sit down, at least.

She's gonna come in any minute now.

Hey.

What?

You look good, too.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

Hello?

Yes.

Oh, my goodness.

No. Do that.

It's gonna be a total lock-down now

so I'll get them

and I'll bring them back.

That's right.

And then I'll get her

and I'll bring her back.

All right.

Yes.

Goodbye.

Hello.

- She's gonna come in here any minute.

- Yeah.

- She should have a while ago.

- Yeah, I know.

Just... just a sec.

This whole woman's life,

I've never known her

to be even a second late.

Yeah. Should I...

should I go get her or...

No.

Hey.

There's no hope.

I don't want hope.

I don't want it.

Ho ho ho, man. Oh, man.

Tarses, what the hell

are you doing here?

Oh.

Well, now.

This is just too f***ing much.

What, are you escaping?

What do you think?

I'm on a pass?

Now, you don't...

you don't come in here.

Well, hey, look. Scissors.

You... you put that down.

You ever seen a fight

where one guy has a knife?

Allen. Oh, my... my golly.

Oh, my gosh. Hey, Allen.

Ben... Ben.

What are you doing here?

I escaped with Carl.

And we escaped together.

Oh.

- Did you take care of that lady?

- What lady? Mrs. Standings?

- Standings?

- Wha... what?

Ben, what did you do?

Ben? What did you do?

Careful, Allen.

Careful, Allen.

This one life is a trip,

ain't it?

- Here.

- I don't want that.

You should. To back me up.

Have you heard anything new?

Only that they caught

those two, like you know.

But not the other one

you asked about.

- Torres, was it?

- Tarses.

Whew.

- Where you going right now?

- I'm leaving.

- You can't.

- The red code is on.

The captain himself called

and said all the civilians can go.

- Warren's dead.

- Yes, it's terrible.

We're going to have a serious look

at how this whole situation transpired.

There will be a great deal...

Nathan.

- I'll be available by phone.

- That's good.

Is there anything

- you would like to say to me?

- No.

I am going to go, then.

Yeah.

- You go.

- Hey, mister...

I gotta get to work.

Come on, Nathan.

Nathan. Nathan!

- What are we doing?

- You tell me.

They're gonna come through that door

any minute now.

Allen, no, no. Don't be upset.

Allen, no. No.

Don't... don't be upset, Allen.

- Come on.
