Sarah Pender,

You have the right

to remain silent.

Anything you say

can, and will be,

Used against you

in a court of law.

Hello.

You're that chick

they say killed her roommates.

You and your boyfriend

threw 'em in a dumpster.

Could you give it a rest,

okay, Roxanne?

Ignore her, honey.

Oh, great. Great.

Look what

you did. Huh?

People who live in sin

Shouldn't throw stones, 'kay?

Well, that don't even

make any sense.

Oh, no, honey, look.

You're gonna be fine.

Okay?

It's not that bad here.

Why don't you just

get some rest?

Use the phone, daddy.

Sarah... Are you okay?

What are you

doing here?

I got here

as soon as I could.

Oh, daddy...

It's gonna be okay.

This is a sick misunderstanding.

I've hired an attorney.

I want to

go home with you.

Yes. When this nightmare

is over,

You're coming home.

I don't belong in here.

When are they gonna let me out?

They're charging you

with a double murder, Sarah.

There is no bail.

I'm sorry.

There's nothing

to be afraid of, okay?

Arraignments are simple.

Your lawyer's

gonna enter your plea.

You won't have to speak.

I wish you could

be there.

Jamie Long, let's go.

You just made bail.

Yeah. Can I have a minute

to say goodbye?

I don't think

I can do this.

Listen to me.

You need to think

positive things.

All right?

Like that old song.

Raindrops and roses,

and kitten-whiskers,

And puppy-breath?

You're crazy.

You're gonna be

all right, honey.

This nightmare is gonna

be over really soon,

And I'll bring you

whatever you want-

Books, candy, whatever.

I'll never forget

this, Jamie.

To be sweet, innocent,

likable...

But lurking within her

is a demon

With the ability

to seduce another

To commit

the most atrocious act.

She's like

a female Charles Manson.

This whole trial's

just a farce.

Things that they're

accusing her of doing,

My baby

is not capable of.

If anyone was

manipulating anyone,

It's that boyfriend,

Richard Hull.

He's the one with

the criminal record.

Doesn't matter

what they say about me.

Sarah.

Last night, during

a sweep of Mr. Hull's cell,

They discovered a letter.

A letter from Rick?

A letter to Mr. Hull

from Sarah.

I haven't written

any letters to Rick.

"My dearest Richard,"

"I love you and I miss you so much."

"I wish I could go back"

"and change the events

of that night."

"maybe it was all the pot we smoked,

or the booze, but I just snapped."

"I'm sorry I lied

about not being there."

"Love always, your lady bear."

That is a lie!

I... I didn't write that.

I wasn't there when Rick shot them!

I went for a walk!

This... this is not

my handwriting!

You... You have to

believe me, Mr. Brady.

Rick is lying.

I don't have to believe you,

Sarah, the jury does.

They have already heard

That you bought the murder weapon

And that you helped Mr. Hull

dispose of the bodies.

This letter

is very damaging.

Sarah Pender was found guilty

of two counts of homicide

And sentenced to 50 years

for the murder of Mr. Cataldi,

And 60 years for Ms. Nordman,

Sentences running consecutively

for 110 years.

I'm superintendent Rogers.

You may call me "ma'am"

or "Ms. Rogers."

Yes, ma'am.

Well, Sarah Pender...

You're home.

Life at Rockville is structured.

No one gets special treatment.

We do count twice a day-

8:
50 a.m.,

and at 3:
50 in the p.m.

Unless you're at your job,

in a classroom,

or in the infirmary,

every offender must be

in her cell on her bunk

For count.

Name's Corinne.

You're up top.

Do not step on my bed

getting up or down.

Do not kick me.

We clean on Sunday.

And don't ask

no stupid questions.

Hey! What part of

"do not step on my bed"

Don't you understand?

Want me to come up there

and beat you down

On the first day in?

Hey. I'm Mimi.

But everybody

calls me "Mimi."

Forgery,

selling fake I.D.S,

But my lawyer says

I'll only do 18 months,

So I've got, like, nine to go.

Do you want

to hang out sometime?

I'm friends with

your cellie, Corinne.

Do you know

she poisoned two husbands?

She did.

Okay. Tsk.

Sarah Jo Pender,

get over here!

I thought you forgot

about me.

Oh, my gosh, no.

What'd I tell you?

The first day you could

have visitors,

I would be here,

with bells on.

So, sunshine...

How you doing?

Uh, it's okay.

I'm reading, sleeping a lot.

What about friends?

Sarah...

Your father

has hired an attorney

Who specializes

in appeals.

Yeah, I didn't get

adequate representation.

We're going to

get you out of here,

But it's going to

take time.

You've got to

realize that.

I'm not gonna make it in here.

Yes, you will.

Now, listen.

Time's gonna go

a whole lot faster

If you don't just sit around

feeling sorry for yourself.

Do we understand

each other?

Sarah?

Look at me.

You've gotta do your part.

Excuse me.

Sorry.

Hey. Hi. I'm Farrell.

I was hoping you could

tell me what this means.

I'm busy right now.

Sorry.

Please?

No one'll help me,

And someone said

You're the smartest

girl in here.

It's something to do

with my kids.

It's a petition

for guardianship.

They want to

take your kids away.

Who?

I'm a good mom.

I've made

some mistakes,

But I'm a good mom.

Who are

Gladys and George Brenner?

My aunt and uncle.

I asked them to watch the girls

until I get released.

They're asking the court to

terminate your parental rights

And name them legal guardians.

Can they do that?

Let me see what I can do.

? daisy, daisy?

? give me your answer, do?

Shut up!

It's a free country!

? I'm half crazy?

? all for the love of you?

Girl, you are full-on crazy.

Some people just have

no appreciation of music.

She speaks.

? daisy, daisy?

? give me your answer, do?

Well, if it isn't

miss Charlotte Manson.

Happy Halloween.

Cocktail?

Oh!

What the hell is this?

Mimi's specialty-

"cafe karma."

Little bit of sugar, coffee

and dihexadryl.

Gets you a nice caffeine-sugar

antihistamine buzz,

And your nose won't run

for a week.

They let you have dihexadryl

in here?

No!

I got a friendly guard

who helps me get it.

By "friendly,"

She means she rocks his world

every other week.

Ga-bown! Ga-bown!

You know

what I'm saying?

They never

notified you about

A hearing to determine

parental rights.

How could I have

gone to a hearing?

I was locked up

in here.

Doesn't matter.

According to the law,

The state mandates

That both parents

must be notified

Of parental termination,

Unless their whereabouts

are "unknown."

Do they know

your whereabouts?

You think?

That's why they're trying

to take my kids from me.

Well, they blew it.

We're gonna get

your kids back, Farrell.

Come give

your dad a hug.

Oh! I didn't think I'd get

a visit until christmas.

God, I miss this.

Hugging you.

How are you?

I'm fine.

I'm not gonna let them

get me down.

Most people in your situation

would've given up.

What's wrong?

The appellate court

denied your appeal.

Didn't find anything wrong

with Mr. Brady's representation.
