[Upbeat music]

[Music continues]

[Clanking]

[Door shuts]

[Theme music]

[Door buzzes]

Guard: Prisoners step forward.

Left turn.

Walk.

Hey, man. Anybody sitting here?

No. Not that I can tell.

I'm Clyde. I'm in
the cell next to yours.

George.

Where else you done time?

- This is my first bid.
- Mine, too.

Got busted being a mule.

[Sighs] Swine caught
me with like five keys.

Judge gave me seven.

What about you?

Armed robbery.

Tag anyone?

Yeah, I wounded a cop.

- Too bad your aim ain't better.
- Yeah, too bad.

Me, myself I tried to escape
police custody three times.

I guess that's why
they got me in high risk.

What is this? You
know the rules.

Geez, too earlyfor that.

[Banging]

Man: Take it easy.
Mobster: You're not too smart.

Last night, when
they brought us in,

did you catch any zs?

No.

Me neither.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

I cannot believe you
made me late for school.

My man, you're not
going to be late for school.

I'm... I'm taking a short
cut. I got it handled.

[Gregory scoffs] You wanna bet?

- How much?
- Alright.

If I win, you tell me
where my dad is.

[Sighs] G, your
pops is undercover.

So, how come I can't know where?

G, you know I'm not
allowed to tell you.

And besides, he
doesn't want you to worry.

- Are you worried?
- No. No, I'm not.

He's in a segregated unit with
only 29 other prisoners, torres.

- Yes, high-risk prisoners.
- Yeah.

Who he's never
crossed paths with.

Look, mobster contracted
five hits from his cell.

A C.O. from the same
seg unit was just m*rder*d.

Now, even if j.C.
Can keep his cover

there's no guarantee
for his safety.

Yeah, and we're not gonna
be able to prove that mobster

committed those crimes
unless j.C. Digs something up.

He's unprotected.

Williams knows the risk
and you and I both know

what will happen if a
druglord like mobster

gets out on the
street in two weeks.

Those five hits were warm-up.

You know what,
just for the record...

- I think it's a mistake.
- Hey, look. Fine.

The quicker you dig
something up on your end

the quicker I can pull him out.

Man on pa: All inmates
return to your cells immediately.

What up, new Jacks?

Y'all got names?

Clyde.

So what?

- You shy or something?
- George.

So why you b*tches look so
scared, Clyde and George?

Could tell right off the bat

these fools don't
know how to jail.

- Let's get outta here, man.
- Where you think you're going?

Yo, my man, do not
put your hands on me.

Check this, partner.

Maybe you big
Willie in the street,

but in here, you ain't nothing.

Anyone gets in their brain
they want to hurt you, they'll do it.

You chomp on that next
time you try dissing someone.

You chomp on this, alright?

Let's go.

We may have the
keys, but the house

belongs to the inmates.

It's their turf.

Is that why they
k*lled officer edmonds?

Edmonds made a mistake.

Which was?

He fraternized with the inmates.

He got a little too comfortable.

One thing you must
never forget, Kelly,

the men behind these
walls, they're criminals.

They'll try to be your friend.
They'll try to intimidate you.

Anything to find your weakness.

Thanks, sergeant cook.
I'll keep that in mind.

Welcome to Wakefield.

[Instrumental music]

Yo, mobster, I heard
you been looking for me.

I heard you marked
down your product

and sold to some brothers.

This goes to prove you can't
believe everything you hear.

I wouldn't believe a damn thing

that came out of
your lying white a*s.

So I'm gonna bypass
asking whether it's true

and I'm gonna tell you.

You want to make paper,
you deal to your own kind.

The brothers buy from me.

You're talking to the wrong man.

You think your threats scare me?

Maybe you're too
dumb to be scared,

but you're too smart to
know that I'm not flexing.

Bottom line, we don't
need the brothers business.

- You keep it for yourself.
- I plan to.

Y'all dismissed.

Oh, well, well, well, well.
Look who we got here.

What's up?

Did I say you could talk?

- Man, step off.
- Or what?

What, you gonna
scream for the C.O.? Huh?

Earl: Them bulls ain't around.

[Chuckles] Ain't nobody around.

I know I dissed you
earlier, and I'm sorry

but I ain't trying
to have no static.

All of a sudden, he want
to be on our best-friend list.

Oh, yeah.

Do you know what I
think about you, Clyde.

I think you are one punk-a*s,

pretty, little b*tch.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
What? You trying to play us?

No...

[Grunting]

And don't call me, "man."

You call me, "daddy."

Come on, man! [Groaning]

Go ahead, skeezer.
Call me, "man" again.

Why... why you doing this?

Oh, because we want to, fool.

- Earl...
- Alright.

You keep on playing stupid here.

Now, what the hell did I
just tell you to call us? Huh?

Daddy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, that's, uh,
that's what I thought.

Now, you get on over here.

So you the new bull.

As far as I know.

Then you probably
heard about the guy

that had the job before you.

Heard about him.

Well, it's like this.

You respect us, we respect you.

Works both ways.

Yo, I'm assassin.

Guess your mom
had high hopes for you.

Yeah. I guess so.

Yo. You got a cigarette?

Yeah, I got a few.

Well, say, hook me up.

Sorry, it's against the rules
to give the inmates anything.

What? Here we're talking
about respecting one another.

You're throwing
some rules in my mug?

It's my first day. Cut
me a little slack, here.

Cut mesome slack. You're
trippin' over a cancer stick?

What's up with that?

Alright.

Just so we got an understanding.

- You know what I'm saying?
- My man.

Mobster: So?

He's weak.

[Coughing]

Clyde, you alright?

What happened to you?

My girl giving
birth any day now.

I'm figuring, maybe
three or four years

I'll go up for parole.

Tell them I'm sorry...

And just get out
of this place...

See how I feel to be a father.

Well, that's possible.

Nah.

Three or four years...

I can't swing it, George.

What happened to
you? Who did this?

Earl: I like my b*tches
to wash my drawers.

Scrub them clean.

Do a good job,

and I'll give you another treat.

Tye: What the
hell you looking at?

You need somebody to
teach you some manners?

'Cause I'm just
the man to do it.

Get your hand off me.

Snatch them drawers and get out.

Y'all guys have been
on me since I got here.

Why don't you just back up?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, cuz.

You ain't talking
your way out of this.

What's the problem?

Ain't no problem,
unless you wanna

make this difficult.
[Zipper unzipping]

Well, now, y'all...
y'all need to take that

Booty-snatchin'
business somewhere else.

Yeah, well, I tell you
what, one way or the other,

I'm getting what I want.

[Grunting]

- Clyde!
- Call me daddy, huh?

- Call me daddy?
- Clyde!

Give me that!
Let's get out of here!

Come on, man.

Cook: Come on,
let's go. Stand up.

- Come on, get up! Cook:
Whoa, come on, let's go!

Cook: Stand up!
- Alright. Damn.

Cook: Come on,
sleeping beauty, stand up.

You had crap detail
when Earl was k*lled?

[Sighs] Yeah, so?

So, what happened?

Like I told the other bulls

I walked in and I saw the body.

Cook: That's the
story you're sticking to?

That's right, sergeant cook.

The problem is we didn't
find the m*rder weapon.

And we're not gonna
happen to find it one day

with yourprints on
it, are we, George?

I wouldn't count on that.

Open it up. Stand to the side.

Move over to the side!

- Come on. Cook:
Stand to the side.

Move it.

Toss it.

[Intense music]

It's clean.

If I find out you're lying,
you're going to regret

the day you ever
came to Wakefield.

You're a little late
with that one, partner.

I'm not your partner.

Lock it up.

Cook: What are you all
looking at? Get back to sleep.

k*ll the lights.

Moreno: Tommy told
us about the shank

behind the toilet.

The lieutenant wants
to know what's going on.

Sounds like she's
not the only one.

Did you k*ll him?

Is that what you guys think?

Answer the question.

No, I didn't do it.

But you know who did.

I was there when it happened.

So come on, give me a name.

- I'm not gonna rat him out.
- Excuse me?

The guy that did
it saved my life.

Well, if he's innocent
then he'll be cleared.

[Sighs]

You're not a con,
j.C., you're a cop.

[Sighs]

Then why are you talking
to me like I'm a con?

What am I supposed
to tell the lieutenant?

You tell her anything you want.

I'll be in touch.

Inmate: Wassup, Clyde?

Hey, yo, George, Clyde, alright?

You feel it?

It looks like ever
since we iced Earl

everybody knows
we ain't no joke.

Hey, you hand these to him.

Yo, biatch!

Them there is our drawers.

You know what to do.

- What are you doing?
- Y'all just peep this.

- Yo, hold up, hold up.
- Yo, yo, slow your roll, man.

It's alright.

Heard some things about you.

I heard some things
about you, mobster.

Yeah? What'd you new Jacks hear?

Hear you run this place.

Brother rolls with you, you
might make some cheddar.

All depends on the man.

What about the
two in front of you?

I'm about to step
out of this rat hole

in less than two weeks.

But I can make three
times the street value here

in the main population.

I don't know if I
want to give that up.

If you put a couple of
new brothers on the payroll

we'll keep things
running smoothly for you.

Why should I trust you?

Why not?

Alright, I'll give
you a little test.

If you get busted, you'll
do ten days in the hole.

- And if we don't get busted?
- Maybe I'll put you on.

It all comes down
to whether or not

you're willing to take the risk.

- How are you making out?
J.C.: Yeah, I'm surviving.

Chantal had me take g to
school a couple of days ago.

J.c.: Yeah, how's he doing?
- Worried about you.

You let him know
I'm okay, right?

Eddie: Already did.

Well, what about you and
your lady? You talk to her?

Damn, you're gonna
sweat me from prison?

Come on, ed, don't tell
me you're chickening out.

Look, I'm working
on it, alright?

So, uh... you cool?

Yeah, yeah, I'm cool.

It's just... weird, you know?

Hearing about what's
going on in the outside world.

It feels like I've
been here forever.

Time just stopped.

You know, I thought about
my son all day today, man.

Had to try hard to remind myself

that I do have a life
outside of this damn place.

You know what,
nobody will say a word

if you want to come out, man.

No, no, no, listen.

I hooked up with mobster.

He wants to give
me a little test.

What kind of test?

There's a woman with a red coat

coming to see me tomorrow.

I need you to check her out.

Yeah, no problem.

Alright.

I'll talk to you.

McNamara says
mobster's right hand man

is trying to manipulate him.

He's waitin' to see what
kind of mind game it is.

Cooper: And what
about this woman?

Ayanna Simpson. Got out
of rikers three months ago.

- What charge?
Eddie: Drug trafficking.

Guess her rehabilitation
didn't go so well.

You want to pick her up?

Nah, I think, uh,
if she finds out

we're onto her, it could
jeopardize j.C.'S safety.

- Well, what about surveillance?
- Good. Do it.

I wanna know this
one's every move.

What happened to your face?

Had some static.
Nothing to trip about.

You sure you're alright?

I am now.

[Sighs] So, when you gonna
let the bun out the oven?

It won't be soon enough.

Listen, Clyde...

We need to talk.

Alright.

Well, I'm scared, you know?

I mean, I can't do like my mom

and raise babies by myself.

Look, first of all don't
even trip about the funds.

Look, I got
something going on...

Having something going on

is how you ended
up in jail, Clyde.

Besides, I'm not just
talking about money.

[Sighs]

What's his name?

It's Shawn.

My homeboy, Shawn?

What, you trying to tell
me you kickin' it with him?

Well, how do you think
I'm dealing with this?

Going to court and
writing you letters,

visiting you in jail.

I don't want that for
our baby, do you?

You think you're the only
one going through something?

You think this is
a picnic for me?

[Sighs]

Tammy...

I need you.

I need to be there for our baby.

I'll be out in three
or four years.

Shawn is here for me now, Clyde.

You can't just step off.

Look, I...

If you want to
blame me, that's fine.

Look where you are.

You're the one that stepped off.

Ayanna, don't you even
think about lying to me.

Ayanna: You think I'd
try to skim off the top?

Look, I'm telling you, I
gave that b*stard four grams.

If you only got three, I'm not
the one you should look at.

You didn't pick up
a habit, did you?

You know me better than that.

Mobster: I'll talk to you later.

Assassin: What'd she say?

It was one of the new Jacks.

- What you want to do?
- Call him over.

Yo, George!

Hey, get your a*s over here.

Watch my hand, man. Don't cheat.

- What's up?
- Where's your boy?

He has a visitor.
What's going on?

I told that Aryan
b*stard, big hog

not to sell to the brothers,

but I guess he wants
to be hard-headed.

So, here's the deal.

I want you to take him out.

Yo, that's not my game, man.

What?

You think this is day camp?

Now, I don't care who it is,

but I expect...

Either you or your
boy to step up.

Tonight.

Here, when they're
watching television.

Hey... Oh! Oh!

[Speaks in foreign language]

Um, did I get
you? I think I did.

Yeah, you did. [Laughs]

Eddie: I got you.
- No, it's okay.

Eddie: I'm sorry.
- What's the matter with you?

You've been jumpy all week.

Oh, I just had a, you
know, a couple of things

on my mind, that's all.

Your partner?

- Huh?
- J.C.?

- Are you worried about him?
- No.

I... I mean, yeah, but, no.

My own son in jail!

You're a disgrace to
the name of struzzi.

Psst. Handle this for me.

Man 1 on TV: As for
you two, you can go.

But be more careful
how you behave in future.

Hey, norm, I demand an apology.

A pillar of the
American press in jail.

You've d*sfigured my prestige

and you've not
heard the last of this.

Sadie, take some dictation.

Last night, your
correspondent...

Man 2 on TV: Hey, hey,
hey, hey, what about me?

Man 3 on TV:
Don't worry, signor.

I got you in, and
I'll get you out.

[Indistinct chatter on TV]

You've got to
arrange an interview

with that Princess of yours.

Man 2 on TV: Anything to
oblige the American press.

[Intense music]

[Chuckles]

McNamara: Hit the
lights! Inmates stand down!

- Get up. Get up.
- What the hell are you doing?

McNamara: You're dumber than
you look, hog. What'd you think

we wouldn't find that ounce
of coke just 'cause you hid it...

I don't know what the
hell you're talking about.

Yeah, well, maybe a
little time in the hole

will help you remember.

I'm telling you, I was set up!

Now, for the rest of you mooks

everyone but clean-up
is on lock-down. Move!

What the hell you
guys looking at?

I guess the hog
got nine lives, too.

[Chuckles]

Yeah, I guess so.

Clyde: You know, if you
didn't step up to take him out

I was gonna do it.

What happened to all
that stuff you were talkin'?

Clyde: What stuff?

You know, the stuff
about being a father

being out in three
or four years.

We could make, like,
two, three g's a week

right here from the pen.

By the time I get
out I'll be straight.

Besides, you the one to talk.

Ain't you the one told
mobster to put us down?

You listen to me, Clyde.

Now you keep sticking
yourself in the middle of things

you got no business being in

ain't never gonna see your
son outside of that visiting room.

Look, man, mobster
runnin' the whole thing.

He ain't got busted, so
why should I sweat it?

Don't worry, man, I can hang.

[Sighs]

What's up, man?

Look, I don't have any
more cigarettes, alright?

That ain't what I
want. Here, take this.

- What is it?
- Yo, just do me this one solid.

You know they take
forever to send our mail out.

That got to go
somewhere in the A.M.

Can't keep doing
you favors, my man.

You gonna try to punk me now?

Just mail the damn
letter, and we straight.

I got that punk in my pocket.

Good.

What about them new Jacks?

They were ready
to k*ll big hog for me.

Yo, mob, man, it don't matter
how loyal they pretend to be.

One of them still dissed you.

I know.

We'll see 'em
tomorrow in the yard.

[Suspenseful music]

Clyde: Hey, yo, I got mad news.

The bun came out the oven today.

Congratulations, man.

- A boy, eight pounds.
- Alright.

[Chuckles]

You know, it got me
thinking, you know.

Kinda wanna be there
for that corny stuff.

Teach him how to ride a bike.

Play catch.

Ain't nothin' corny about that.

I hear you.

Maybe you're right.

About me being in
the middle of things.

Just kind of thinking
about telling mobster

I'm gonna to step off.

Well, you know, if
that's how you feel

now's the perfect time.

What's up, fellas?

What up, fella?

Yo, I became a father today.

Congratulations.

Think we could talk?

It'll have to wait.

Right now, I need some
privacy with my man, George.

Assassin: Let's go, y'all.
Give 'em a minute to talk.

So, Clyde, my man...

Everything alright?

What do you think of loyalty?

Loyalty?

Well, I think the black
man has been pretty loyal

to the penal system.

This ain't no joke.

If you can't trust the
people around you

they don't need
to be around you.

You tryin' to tell me somethin'?

I can't afford to have
nobody playin' me.

All that skimming off the top
and stuff, that's for suckers.

I ain't the one.

Look, my man, if you
think that I stole something

from you, you're dead wrong.

I figured that.

Clyde! [Clyde grunts]

Mobster: Forget it, forget it.

Clyde!

- Get off of me!
- I said forget it.

Get off of me!

One of you stole from me!

What the hell are
you talking about?

- How do you know that?
- I know.

You know how I
figured it was him.

'Cause he never
looked me in the eyes.

What kind of crap is that?

I'm not sayin' that's
a foolproof test,

so if we canceled the
wrong guy you let me know.

- I didn't steal from you.
- Good.

This ain't the boy scouts
we're running here.

It's more like a corporation,
only if you get fired

you don't go to no
unemployment line.

So, it's on you, player.

You ready to make
these chips, or what?

[Suspenseful music]

Guard: Back up!

Back up!

Back up!

Yo, I'm real sorry.

- Sorry about what?
- I heard about Clyde.

Matter of fact,
I'm all broken up.

Hey!

- What?
- Let's go. Come on!

What? [Clamoring]

Come on, let's go.

Get off of me!

What the hell's
going on with you?

Mobster had Clyde k*lled, okay?

- We got him...
- Slow down...

No, I'm not gonna slow down!

That b*stard bragged
about it in my face!

He made me watch it!

That doesn't prove anything.

I'm telling you,
he is behind it.

Calm down.

I don't wanna calm down, okay?

- I wanna bust him.
- Look.

The drugs that came
in through that lady

was just an initiation.

We gotta figure out how he's
gettin' his real supply in here

and who's helping him.

No, we got him on m*rder.

Not if we can't prove it.

You want this guy
to hit the streets?

[Sighs]

McNamara: Now, you
got to hang in there.

Trust me.

I'm telling you, Tommy,
I wanna shank him.

[Sighs]

McNamara: Come on, man.
I better put you in the hole.

[Suspenseful music]

Guard: 308, open
up. [Door buzzing]

Mobster: First time in the hole.

How was it?

Good thing I'm not
afraid of the dark.

Mm. Come here.

Look at the fear in
their eyes. Hmm?

You know what they're thinkin'?

Why did I Rob that bank?

Why did I k*ll my wife?

Please, god, don't
let anybody r*pe me!

[Laughs]

What was your first walk like?

Yeah, I was nervous walking
through the gates of hell

for the first time, sure.
But I knew I'd make it here.

Yeah, why is that?

My parents were
real holy rollers.

Know what I'm sayin'?

My pops was a baptist preacher.

They washed their hands of
me the secondi got into trouble.

Said I was the devil himself.

Mobster: I said,

"sh**t if the devil can't
make it in hell, who can?"

[Laughing]

Mobster: We got
you in a corner, bull.

Ain't no other way to put it.

McNamara: What you
gonna try and do, get me fired?

Mobster: Try? Giving me
cigarettes, mailing my letters.

Ain't no try involved.

McNamara: I thought
we had an understanding.

Mobster: Now we have a new one.

You see, it doesn't matter
whether we're locked up.

We can reach out and
touch you any time we want.

Whether we're in here,
whether you're home...

Understanding that?

What do you guys want?

Don't look so sad, Kelly.

First, for all your trouble
I'm gonna double your salary.

Second, you're gonna
meet a lady at this address

she'll tell you what to do.

[Intense music]

Take this.

- What is it?
- Don't worry about it.

All you got to do is put it
in there with your uniform

and once you get it
past the other bulls,

there'll be an inmate waiting.

The, wait a minute, they...
They check our bags.

How am I supposed to
get it past them? Damn!

You guys are out
of your damn mind.

Ever since I got
out, I've been legit.

Oh, yeah. Walking the
straight and narrow, right?

Exactly!

Oh, that's a good story,

but I've got an even better one.

See, it's about a woman
who violates her parole

starts being a mule for a
big-time drug dealer in the pen.

Next thing you
know, she's passing

drugs to an undercover cop.

You got any pictures
with that story?

Oh, there's always pictures.

Adam: I don't see any
drugs in these pictures.

She could be
giving him anything.

Even if the D.A. doesn't think

our detective's word is gonna

stand up against hers.

We got a few inmates
and a C.O. who will talk.

And believe me, the first person
that talks, they get the deal.

Adam: We're not
interested in any deals.

He's willing to let you
go back to the pen.

We're just trying to
help you out here.

- Ayanna.
- You've got nothing.

Are you sure that's
how you wanna

play this, girlfriend?

You listen to him,
you'll be back behind

bars before the day's out.

What kind of deal you offering?

A few more years on your
parole, but no real jail time.

- Witness protection?
- Yeah, I think we can do that.

But you're gonna have
to give us allthe players

in mobster's organization,
from top to bottom.

- [Chuckles] This is ridiculous!
- Shut up, Adam!

I'm not doing any more time.

Can you give us names?

What about the
C.O. that was k*lled?

Mobster did it.

How do you know?

He told me he wanted to get word

to one of the
C.O.'s on his payroll.

This guy edmonds, he...

Found out about
mobster's whole setup.

So, mobster arranged for
edmonds to patrol the west hallway.

That's how they got him alone.

Who's the C.O.?

Sergeant cook.

What happened?
What'd the lawyer say?

Ayanna rolled on us.

- What?
- That new bull was a cop!

And so is one of
the new inmates.

What is going on?

[Indistinct chatter]

Cook: What is this?
- Hey, you mind if I do it?

Mind if you do what?

Cook, you're under arrest

for ill*gal drug trafficking.

Thank you.

It is you, isn't it?

What the hell are
you talkin' about?

The rat-b*stard cop!

So, you want me to look you
in the eyes when I bust you?

[Instrumental music]

[Grunts]

[Grunting]

[Inmates chattering]

What?

You like that? Come
on, bring it. Come on!

[Groaning]

How do you like that, huh?

Huh?! Huh?

How do you like that, huh?

[Grunting]

[Mobster gasping]

[Coughing]

[Door buzzing]

Torres: Out of the way! Back up!

[Indistinct chatter]

[Footsteps]

[Door buzzing]

Alright, g. Now, we have
been together all day.

You haven't said more
than five words to me.

- You still mad?
- I don't know.

Oh, come on, little man,
if you are, you can tell me.

It's okay.

I just don't understand why
you're always risking your life.

Uh, I got a job to do.

I thought you said you
volunteered for that assignment.

Well, yeah, I did, but...

[Sighs]

Alright, so maybe
I pushed it a little.

For what?

- For you.
- Yeah, right.

I'm serious, g.

You know, sometimes I feel
that if I can get a big drug dealer

off the street, then that's
gonna make the world

just a little bit
better for you.

What, you think I'm
gonna buy drugs?

Yeah, you better not.

But the only way I can stop some
crackhead from trying to mug you

for his next fix or, you
know, some hustler

trying to recruit you
is by doing my job.

Even if that means pushing it.

I guess I'd just rather have
you around sometimes.

So, was it bad?

[Sighs]

Yeah, it was bad.

Mm.

How's your head?

I'm okay. [Chuckles]
My head is fine.

I mean, you sure? I mean,
you don't need any, uh...

Aspirin or water?

[Laughing] No,
I don't. I'm fine.

Good. That's... that's...

That's good.

What?

[Chuckles] You see,
I had this whole, uh...

"To be or not to be" speech
planned out, but, uh...

I can't remember a damn thing.

Except for this...

Nina, I love you.

And I wanna spend the
rest of my life with you.

[Sighs]

[Chuckles]

Will you marry me?

Oh, Eddie, I don't
know what to say.

That's okay.

That's okay, 'cause, uh...

You know, what,
uh... Take your time.

- You know what...
- Okay, I will.

Yeah, 'cause, you know,
when you have an answer, and...

- I want you to tell me.
- No.

I will. I will.

I will marry you.
