Season 3
As Diane Whittlesey was transferred by Tim McManus to another unit, Emerald City was without a Head-CO. McManus convinced Warden Leo Glynn to let him pick the new Head-CO. McManus hires his childhood friend, Sean Murphy. As soon as he is nominated Head-CO, Murphy befriends Irish inmate Ryan O'Reily and they form a respectful relation. During the prison Boxing Tournament O'Reily pays Christian inmate William Cudney to steal chloral hydrate from the hospital, so he can spike the water of his brother Cyril's opponents, making him win all the fights. When Cudney decides to stop selling the substance to O'Reily, he arranges Cudney's death with Russian inmate Yuri Kosygin. Meanwhile, Russian inmate Nikolai Stanislofsky gives CO Murphy a tip about O'Reily's acts. At the gym, Sean discovers O'Reily spiking the water and stops him from doing that, although Sean doesn't tell anyone about it so the Boxing Tournament won't be canceled. As the racial tension grows, Murphy wants to clean Emerald City. He prohibits and confiscates all the erotic magazines. Homeboy leader Simon Adebisi gives paraplegic inmate Augustus Hill a magazine, which is confiscated and gets Hill thrown in the hole. As the racial tension grows more troublesome, Oz is locked down and Murphy confesses to fellow white COs that he is afraid.

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“I like to compare the holiday season with the way a child listens to a favorite story. The pleasure is in the familiar way the story begins, the anticipation of familiar turns it takes, the familiar moments of suspense, and the familiar climax and ending.”
