Complete story — includes the ending

Piscatella has Red, Piper, Alex and other inmates tied up in a room, where he uses a knife to cut off Red's hair and brutally breaks Alex's arm. Piper gets the duct tape off her mouth and yells for help, which is heard by the other inmates holed up in Frieda's basement bunker. The entrance to the room they are in leads to where Piscatella is. Meanwhile, Gloria tries to free the prison guards, but she is interrupted. Maureen, who has still not recovered from the beating, is found delirious in the bathroom by Suzanne, who takes her to the infirmary. Suzanne, by now in a psychotic state, discovers that Humphrey is dead. Gina lures Piscatella into the basement, where Frieda knocks him out with a homemade poison dart. Flashback: At his earlier CO job in a male prison, Piscatella pursues an affair with an inmate, Driscoll. When another inmate, Resado, spies on them together in the kitchen, Resado and other inmates beat and rape Driscoll in a bathroom. Piscatella handcuffs Resado to a shower and leaves him under scalding hot water to die.
