The Doyle Dozen

Malacky is wrongfully convicted of sellin' oxys and goes to the pen for a 2 year stretch. Jake, unable to see his father mistreated, enlists Rose, Des, Tinny, Walter, and Leslie and their clones to break into her majesty's pen, bust Malacky out, and hide him on Ramea until things blow over.

On the night of the escape attempt, they sneak into the cemetery next to the pen, and partially bury themselves. As the sky lightens, they all climb out of the ground, and Jake's dirty and seemingly dead dozen do a zombie march towards the gate. The terrified guards make a run for the lake, leaving the satisfied group to play a prank on the prisoners before releasing Malacky from his cell.

In order to drum up some business for the coming year, Jake also lets out 15% of the prison population, as long as they promise to go back to a life of crime. Jake admits that this move is a pretty "dirty" trick, and they all laugh heartily.

The next morning, the group discovers that Mal really does sell oxys, and Leslie has been fired from her position as a hot cop for her part in the caper. Jake observes that they didn't make a "clean" getaway after all, drawing fewer laughs, except from the clones, who are really sort of brain dead.
