- Life in Oz sucks,
and only a fool or a Republican
will tell you different.
But the punishments they got
going here are nowhere near
as f*cked up as in olden days.
Example, if a guy
drank too much,
the constable would make him
wear a drunkard's cloak,
which was a whiskey barrel
with holes for the head,
the arms and the legs.
Then they'd make the drunk
walk around the town square,
where everyone would
call him names.
- Yo, ret*rd,
you're next.
- Keep punching.
Come on, f*ck him.
Let's go, punch it.
Head, ribs, head.
Come on, f*ck him.
Head, ribs, head.
- Pancamo's tough, man.
He's got heavy hands,
a good chin,
and he's a mean
son of a bitch.
The only advantage
your brother has is speed.
Yeah?
- You don't seem
too worried.
- I got faith.
- Mm.
Faith's a good thing...
But I'd put
my money on Pancamo.
- Cudney.
- What do you want?
- Hey, you working
bedpan duty today?
- Yeah.
- Great. Look.
I need you to
steal me some more
of that chloral hydrate,
and then I'm gonna
put it right in here, huh?
- No.
- Whoa, whoa.
We had a deal, remember?
You sneak dr*gs
out of the hospital,
I give you nice,
green fed notes.
- Stealing is wrong.
Today I've confessed to the Lord
in front of my brothers
and promised
to sin no more.
- Fine.
You're not the only fish
in the sea of Galilee.
- I figured out
what you've been doing
with the chloral hydrate.
- Oh, yeah?
- You've been spiking

My soul is in jeopardy.
So's yours.
By turning you in,
I'm gonna save you.
- Not if I save you first.
Look, I haven't got

The rumor is you're
the most ruthless hit man
in Little Odessa.
That's got to mean a lot,
'cause you Russian mob guys,
you're a bunch of crazy,

You want Kosygin dead,

that I'm gonna take care

No chance.
- I do like you, O'Reily.

Here's some

You want Yuri's balls,
have the Sicilians do it.
- Sicilians?
- Uh-huh.
[tense percussive tones]

- Da.
He is also...
I bet on you.
I lost very heavy.
He won very heavy.

g*dd*mn, I f*ckin' knew it.
- I hope you don't mind

I appreciate it.
In fact, I owe you one.
We got to do the fight over.
- Oh, bullshit.
- I was drugged out.
- What's your proof?
- Have me tested.
- I'm not gonna spend the time
or the money to have you tested
just because you're
a sore loser.
Now, get the f*ck out.
- McManus--
- Out!
- Come on.
You heard the man. Let's go!
- f*ck!
- Come on.
- Yo, dumb move, man.
- What?
- Letting the hacks know
you know Kosygin did the dirty.
Now, if Kosygin dies, they're
gonna blame you, brother.
- That's right.
- Look, I know you're pissed off
that my brother
won the fight, all right?
But in the name of good
sportsmanship, all right?
I got a small
suggestion for you.
- What's that?
- The next best thing to having
someone k*lled is having them
sent to solitary for the rest
of their lives.
Or better yet, death row.
- Yeah.
- When Kosygin finds out that
Stanislofsky snitched on him,
your problems
are solved.
- In the 1600s, snitches
and gossips were made to wear
something called a brank,
which was an iron helmet
that was placed on the head,
enclosing it in a kind of cage.
There was a front plate
covered with spikes...
[metal churning]
Which was placed inside
the mouth so that if you
tried to talk...well,
you get the idea.
You learned to keep
your mouth shut.
- [speaking Russian]
- We are in America
now, Nikolai.
Let's speak American.
- All right.
We speak English.
- Unlike you, in Russia,
I was not a criminal.
- No?
- I was an educator.
After the Soviets fell,
things got so bleak in Moscow,
I decided to leave
to come to America.
- For a better life, right?
- Yes, for me and my wife.
But we did not
find a better life.
I couldn't get
employed teaching.
- It must have been terrible.
- [laughing]
Then I got this job
painting a house,
the house of
Leonid Rodzinsky.
- He was in
the Organizatsiya.
- Yes.
He treated me like sh*t,
always making fun,
calling me "Professor,"
then ordering me
to clean his toilets.
One day...
he kicked me with
his boot in front of my wife.
I strangled him
on the spot.
- It's closing time?
- Yes.
- All right, I'll go.
- Not till I finish my story.
- Strange, Yuri, you're
here all this time,
you barely say two words,
now you're a regular boltoon.

warm up to people.
Nikolai.
I feel very close to you.
I was possessed by guilt
for k*lling Rodzinsky,
but I got a reputation
for being ruthless.

to exterminate someone else.
The second time was easy.

I knew a guy,
had one arm.
Told me when he dreams,
he still had both arms.
Every morning, he'd wake up
and have to realize
all over again
one arm was missing.
Every morning, it was like
the first time they told him
his arm was gone.
[sighs]
My son is dead.
- What you did,
getting him the heroin...
That was
the right thing.
Put him to the test.
He was weak.
He was not one of us.

Take your f*cking

to the heart
of why you did what you did
to Beecher.
[buzzer sounding]
- You saw my ex, Bonnie.
When I met her,
she was all alone.
Very unhappy.
So I knew it'd be easy
to get her
to fall in love with me.
But what I didn't know
was after I broke her heart...
Would she still love me?
See, I'm a piece of sh*t.
I...
am worthless.
As bad as they come.
And to have someone
keep loving me
no matter how bad...
You happy now?
You got me to open up and spill
my guts all over your table.
Breakthrough.
- So you went along with Beecher
not in the name
of the Aryan brotherhood...
But to see if he would love you
no matter what?
- At first, I wanted
unconditional surrender...
And then I wanted
unconditional love.
But Beecher don't love me.
