- So, there used to
be this tribe,

the Aztecs,

who believed that the universe
was created by v*olence.

Every year at what was
their version of Christmas,

they would cut out
someone's heart

and offer it up to the gods.

These people were convinced
that without this sacrifice,

the sun would fall
from the sky

and the world would
come to an end.

Then the Spaniards landed,

wiped the Aztecs off
the face of the Earth.

Turns out they was right.

The world did
come to an end...

for them.

Welcome to Oz,

ten months after
the world ended.

- All right.

A lot of people thought
we'd never reopen Emerald City,

but after almost a year,

a lot of politic-ing,
ball-busting,

and some back up
from the warden,

here we are.

- It's a new deal, gentlemen.

- It's a better deal.
It's a fair deal.

Now,
I have identified ten groups.

The Muslims, the gangsters,

the Latinos, the Italians,

the Irish, the Aryans,

the bikers, the Christians,

the gays,
and one called "the others."

Each group will have
four prisoners

living at Em City.

No more, no less.

Each group will be equal.
Each individual, equal.

- Bullshit.

- No, it is not bullshit,

and to make sure
that it's not,

I'm also
establishing a council

to air grievances,
to advise me.

Each group will have one member
serve on said council.

Any questions?

- Yes.
Given all that's happened,

why did you come back?

Why do you still believe
Emerald City will work?

- Well, the truth is this:

we either learn to change
or we repeat our mistakes.

We either become
a part of our community,

or we remain isolated from it.

In either case,

the success of our lives
depends on us.

[indistinct chatter]

I am not solely responsible
to make Em City work.

It's you too.

[indistinct chatter]

Any other questions?

[gate buzzes]

- Kareem, you should be

our representative
on the council.

- That's assuming
that we participate.

- You saying
we shouldn't?

- No, I'm saying
that we wait.

Our absence may speak louder
than our presence.

- First thing,
we start to sell tits again.

- Yeah,
but what about O'Reily?

- I'll handle O'Reily.

- I'll handle Adebisi.

What worries me is
the Sicilians coming in.

- I don't see Nino Schibetta
anywhere.

- Schibetta's dead.

It's his son who's
the hair across our ass now.

- We're gonna take back
the drug trade

and find out who hurt
my father and then...

[playing cards slap table]

- sh*t.

The rest of these
cock m*therf*ckers.

They gonna learn, bro.

They can't sh*t on us no more.

- How the f*ck did
I get to be an "other"?

On the streets
I was selling dope.

I was as bad as
any of those homeboys.

I f*cking k*lled a cop!

What am I doing here
with you guys?

- You're disabled.

- And the rest of you
are f*cking certifiable.

- Who are you?

- Agamemnon Busmalis,

- The Mole?

- I dig.

I can dig anywhere.

I'm gonna dig my way
out of Oz.

They're crazy.

Especially Beecher.

I mean, forget all that sh*t

I'm famous for my penmanship.

Now, my goal is to make clear

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

- And how you gonna do that?

- Initially with education.

Over half the inmates in Oz
never finished high school.

The federal prison system

has mandatory education
programs in place since 1982.

We're gonna have
the same requirements

in Emerald City.

- There's already a program.

- One thing at a time, guys.

One thing at a time.
Education first.

Since it's mandatory,

The Muslims weren't represented
at the council meeting.

- If this council
has real power,

then we will participate.

- Well, how do you mean?

- Do we get to make policy

or do we simply
rubber-stamp yours?

- This is a prison,
not a democracy.

- Oh, I know that
only too well.

about a second chance.

I want to do it right
this time.

If you don't want

Instead get yourself

We're charging you with
