But...

Okay.

Okay, this is just a setback.

I've already done two years

for a crime I didn't commit.

I'm fighting

a system

That won't admit

it made a mistake.

There are all sorts

of appeals I can make.

Harsh and excessive punishment,

insufficient evidence.

If they want a fight,

they're gonna get one.

What?

You would've made

a great lawyer.

You've got such a sharp mind.

I'm going to find something,

some way to get out of this.

The thing is...

I'm short on cash.

That's okay, daddy.

Okay? You've done enough.

Just please don't

give up on me.

Never, baby. Never.

We got to get your guy

To bring in

more dihexadryl,

And you've gotta stop

giving it away.

These girls are hooked.

They're gonna pay a lot

to get a buzz on.

But there's no money

allowed in here.

The money stays

on the outside-

Money orders.

Someone on the outside

cashes 'em,

Opens up

a bank account.

Maybe we can

even save enough

To get you

singing lessons.

Mooney v. Holohan.

Mooney had been pardoned

When he proved

he'd been convicted

On the basis of evidence

known by the state to be false.

Like Jamie Long told you

on the phone, Mr. Cook,

Rick wrote to me

that he had a change of heart.

My supposed

"confession letter" was fake.

They have to let me out,

Or at least give me

a new trial.

To get post-

conviction relief,

You can't just show

That some of the evidence

against you was false-

You have to show

reasonable innocence.

I am innocent.

It's a long shot.

It's my only shot.

You're gonna need

Mr. Hull to sign an affidavit

Stating that

he forged that letter.

Rick will do anything

to help me.

Okay, this is your last chance

To have your conviction

overturned, Ms. Pender.

It could take

a couple of years,

Which means

a lot of time.

I'm expensive.

Don't worry.

I'll get you your money.

You need to talk

to your guy.

He quit.

He can't quit.

He's in too deep.

He's gone.

He doesn't work here

anymore.

Well, we need to

find a new mule.

Sarah...

I can't risk it.

I'm getting out

in a few weeks.

You're right.

We can't do anything

to jeopardize your release.

I understand.

Mr. Cook has agreed

to let me pay his retainer

A few hundred bucks at a time,

But ben and me are tapped out.

Do you want me

to call your father?

No, no.

I've cost him enough already.

More money will come.

I'm exploring

some other options.

Okay, folks.

Visitation hours are over.

I love you

more than puppy paws.

Kindly make your way

to the exit.

Sweet baby.

Time to go.

Line it up, ladies.

You know, this would

go a lot faster

If you lent a hand.

Okay, write this down.

It includes actions

for recovery of specific-

White, Hernandez, Pender,

report to the chemical closet

of the rec building

For custodian duty.

We'll do this later.

I had to call in a favor

to get you this detail.

Hope it's worth it.

What makes you think

I won't scream?

Did you bring a condom?

Sorry, no glove, no love.

Help! It's Mimi!

Something's wrong.

Guard! Guard!

Look at me.

Never forget who helped you.

Sarah, look out.

Look out, look out, look out.

Mimi? Mimi?

Can you hear me?

Nod if you can hear me.

Stacy, go get

the medical staff, now.

So I talked to Ms. Rogers.

Mimi's gonna be okay.

They're going to keep her

in the infirmary

Until she's released

next month.

Apparently, she had

an allergic reaction.

Allergic reaction,

my ass.

I told her that girl,

She keep drinking

that cafe karma,

She gonna kill herself.

She's just lucky she had

you there to help her.

I don't eat meat.

Is this really

the fight you want to have?

Come here.

Mm.

You must have played

sports in high school.

Wrestling.

What, are you gonna pin me,

officer Spitler?

Look...

Nobody cares if

you keep to yourself,

But you've got to decide

what you care about.

You don't know nothin'

about my situation.

I know about

this situation.

A few years ago,

I was you.

You gotta find

something to do,

You need to get a job,

you have to have a plan.

It's gonna help

pass the time.

I'm not gonna

work for them.

Not for them.

For you.

I heard they need

a new girl in the laundry.

I have never felt this way

with anyone before.

This connection.

I walk around

with this pit in my stomach.

Night-time's the worst.

Sometimes, I can't sleep.

You know,

if you could get me a phone,

You could tuck me in at night.

We could have phone sex.

You have

a one-track mind.

I know. It's dumb.

You can't get me a phone.

Baby-doll,

I can get you anything you want.

Hello?

Happy New Year's.

It's Sarah.

Oh, my God!

Sarah? Oh, my... God!

Calm down.

I only have a minute.

I've made a friend-

- ...Who's gonna help us.

- Who?

Someone else

who believes in me.

I'm gonna text you

A list of

stuff to buy-

Phones, dihexadryl,

tobacco.

N... Sarah, no, no.

I'm not smuggling

anything in there.

I would never ask you

to break the law.

Dihexadryl's an over-the-counter

antihistamine.

I've got it all worked out.

I take the orders.

The girls get someone

on the outside

To send a money order

to your P.O. Box.

You just deposit the money

into a bank account,

Then you go to

one of those chain drugstores.

They're gonna have

everything on the list.

You buy it and you ship it

to a different P.O. Box,

All legal.

Sarah, this is gonna

mess with your appeal.

This is gonna pay

for my appeal.

Don't worry.

I love you

more than

Fairy dust

on butterfly wings.

Happy Valentine's day.

You were wrong, Mr. Cook.

It only took them one year

to review my case.

When's my retrial?

Your motion was denied.

What?

But Rick's affidavit-

The judge has denied

your request for a retrial

Based on the other undisputed

evidence against you-

The shotgun you purchased,

The truck you borrowed,

Forensic evidence at your house.

You're not getting out, Sarah.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

I've paid you thousands of dollars!

People have made sacrifices

for me! No! No!

Let go! Let me go!

I hope you won't let

This monumental disappointment

Change your attitude.

No, ma'am.

I'm not sure you realize

What a positive role model

you've become.

Thank you, ma'am.

I'm gonna bring

my girls to meet you.

No. No, Farrell.

You need to forget about me,

You need to forget this place,

And focus on staying

the hell away from here.

A picture for your wall.

Oh, they're beautiful.

I always wanted a big family.

Two-storey house, lots of yard,

And five or six kids

running around.

Let's see...

I hardly recognize you

in those clothes.

How can I thank you

for getting my kids back?

Don't lose them again.

They need you.

We have to go.

Bye.

Ah, it's total B.S.

You'd think we were

criminals or something.

That mean we have to

ask permission to pee?

Hell, they're already

all up in our business.

Next thing you know,

There won't be

any nooks or crannies

To sneak a smoke or whatnot.

What are you talking about?

While you were in the lock,

We got ourselves a new
