Synopsis:
Schillinger and his cronies are the tormentors in the spotlight, but their cruel deeds are only made possible with the help of Nazi guard Karl Metzger. Not only does he permit his Aryan brothers the privacy they need, but he also tries to help two escape through Busmalis and Rebadow's tunnel. Meanwhile, Sippel returns to Oz, unable to cope with the outside world; Beecher realizes he's been betrayed by Keller; Said is considered for clemency by Governor Devlin; and Alvarez tries to prove himself to El Cid by brutally attacking the new guard, Officer Rivera. He leaves the victim in need of a blood donor and the only match is a prisoner.
