Pilot

Lawrence is brought to the Cold Mountain Penitentiary, where he must stay in the death row cellblock until his execution. He doesn't seem to have any problem with his upcoming death, as he is laughing and singing while he is brought to his cell. Chief Paul Edgecomb watches as they lock Larry up in his cell and realizes that this prisoner is going to give them some trouble.

Later, as two guards are fighting and one of them shoots a prisoner in his leg, Larry starts laughing and yelling. He says that they will all go to hell, just like him. According to him, the guards are worse then the prisoners. One of the guards that was fighting, Brutus, tells him to shut up. Larry sits down in his cell drawing how he killed his wife and later his brother. It is also shown in flashbacks, but it is not revealed why he killed them.

Only the Lonely

Larry wakes up in his cell. He yells at the guards for breakfast. Brutus comes to his cell and tells him to be quiet. Larry grabs the drawing of how he murdered his wife and brother from underneath his pillow and shows it to Brutus. He promises to kill him just like that, if he doesn't give him some food. Brutus laughs and walks off. In the cell across him, Larry sees a man sitting in the shadow. Later, Larry is looking at the man in the cell across him, but he can't see his face.
