Cigarettes are coveted contraband in prison. These must have been hidden here by a fellow prisoner. Roy and Ernest take the pack for themselves and continue on to lunch. During lunch, they hear rumors that the prison bully, Dirk, is threatening to kill them. Seems they might have messed with the wrong guy. Dirk is well known for his brutality.
