Who then? Give me names!

I don't know who but it's finished.

Warders won't be a target

any more, now the protest's over.

(GRUNTING)

Why did they go after me?

Maybe you pissed off the wrong people.

But it's true, you and your family

are safe. You can take my word for it.

Your word. What's that worth?

Why are you back here anyway, Gordon?

Anyone with any sense would have quit.

Because I don't scare so easy.

Or maybe you're a prisoner

like the rest of us.

I am not like you.

I get to go home every night.

Aye, that's right, so you do.

Lucky.

What's happening in there?

You all right, son?

Lovers' tiff?

I'm beginning to have nightmares

about you, Marley.

Hello.

We saving electricity?

Anyone home?

JILL:
The most important thing

is that Janet is safe.

She'd be safe with me here too.

You both would!

That thing that happened,

it was just a once off.

JILL:
How can you say that, Gordon?

You don't know.

I do. One of them told me.

JILL:
One of the prisoners told you?

JILL:
Is this a joke? Because it isn't funny.

You. Give me a hand.

What did you hope to achieve

by bumping me off anyway?

Stupid bastards.

My brother I can understand.

He was one tough nut.

At least he died for something...

Doing his duty, not like

those ten friends of yours.

Suicide by starvation, spare me.

And for what?

So they wouldn't have to do prison work?

You're doing it, aren't you?

Big deal!

Worth dying for, was it?

Eh, was it?

No, you're right. They were fools.

GORDON:
Exactly.

Big f***ing T.V. show.

They shoulda been like you,

smart.

We're doing this.

I don't know how yet, but it's happening.

All right, lads.

Jesus, where did you get this?

Would you believe, the T.V News.

Sh*t, look at it...

They really want to keep us in here.

That's me and Brendan there, in H7.

And that's you and Oscar, top left, in H2.

We should be flattered, fellas.

They made all this specially for us.

You know, maybe we're wasting

our time looking for the weakest point.

What if there isn't any?

Look, here's a block.

They're all the same,

us prisoners in each of the four wings,

but in the middle, pulling the strings,

are the warders in the circle.

That there is the strongest point.

- And this is good because?

- Because...

Whoever controls the circle,

controls the whole block.

You mean take it? How?

It wouldn't be easy, but the warders

are starting to ease up a wee bit,

if we can build on that...

make them feel secure...

Then maybe that's the flaw.

And then what? Have a block party?

Invitation only.

Well, who knows what then?

But it's a start, isn't it, or we

can just sit here with our heads up

- our arses and do nothing.
