Okay, let's get you some bananas.
You haven't touched your cereal.
I thought you were hungry.
- Good.
- So, what's up for today?
Well, today, we gotta give
the caterer the last check.
Go over the decorations
at the church.
Find out why my dress
is gonna cost more.
I didn't want lace on the bust,
instead they doubled it.
How much more?
Six-fifty.
Six-fifty, that's a lot of money.
Mikey, come here.
Six-fifty, what do you think of that?
Are you sure?
Yeah.
- Man says go for it.
- Really?
It's your wedding dress, baby.
Mikey wants Mom to look hot.
- So do I.
Hey, hand me that, Manny?
Manny...? Thanks.
- What time we got, 4:30?
- On the dot, Wade.
- Checks, boys.
- I'm down with that, man.
Time to get paid.
Baby.
- We got the business loan.
- Shut up. Are you kidding?
Oh, baby, that's so great.
I can hire four or five more guys.
I get Joe to run a second crew.
Do another 30 grand this year.
I'm so proud of you, baby.
You built up this entire business
all on your own.
No, we did.
Somebody's in the house.
We gotta get Mikey, quiet.
Stay with me.
- Okay.
- Okay, okay.
What's wrong?
Everything's okay.
- Everything's okay.
- What's happening?
Everything's okay.
Just go back to sleep.
Stay in this room.
Wade!
Stop. What are you doing?
- Back off.
- I said stop.
Damn it.
Oh, God.
Wade, what's happening?
Stay in the house!
Stay in the house!
Stay alive, stay alive.
Please don't die.
Jesus Christ.
Motherf***er, I did that.
Wade, I'm calling 911.
Can she at least put him to bed,
please?
We didn't find a weapon anywhere.
He did have your wallet in his hand.
Maybe you thought that if you...
No. What I saw was,
he was reaching for something.
I thought it was a gun or weapon.
I told him to stop,
he kept turning around, okay?
So I aimed the bat,
then he started to duck.
Look, if he was still in the house
when it happened...
...or if he was at least armed, we could
make a case for self-defense.
But the problem is, he was no longer
a threat when he left the house.
Yet you proceeded to chase him
outside with a bat.
- Killed him with one swing.
- Wait a second, please.
- l... It was an accident.
- I'm sorry.
under arrest for murder.
Murder?
Are you out of your minds?
The guy was robbing us.
- He was in my child's room!
- Ma'am, I understand...
What was Wade supposed to do?
Wait for the guy to shoot him?
No, what he should have done
is stay inside and dial 911.
Face the wall.
Hands over your head.
Hands up on the wall.
Are you HIV positive?
No.
Don't touch this button
unless it's an emergency.
Come back up in here.
You know what I'm saying?
Don't come back up in here.
You eyeball me, motherf***er, huh?
You eyeballing me?
You motherf***er.
I see, you're a b*tch, huh?
Suck my dick.
F*** you!
Fight in 33! Fight in 33!
- All of you get against the wall.
- Crew resistance.
I'll f***ing kill you.
Against the wall, everybody.
- I'll kill you, boy.
- All this started from you looking, man.
You're dead, motherf***er.
You're so dead.
Keep your hands on your heads.
You down for yours, holmes?
We gonna have a wreck in here?
- No.
- Good.
You just clean up the pad
on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
And keep all your sh*t on your bunk.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Baby, what happened to your face?
I got jumped.
- Well, we gotta tell somebody.
- It won't help, Laura.
Are you okay?
How's Mikey?
He's scared.
He just keeps asking for you, Wade.
I didn't know what to tell him.
So I told him that you went on a trip.
It doesn't help that we're staying
with my mother.
Great.
Wade, I didn't feel safe
at the house by myself.
Everything's gonna be okay.
I promise you.
We have to get you out of here.
They're gonna give me
a public defender.
Let me see what they say.
We'll go from there.
I'm Mara Reid.
I'll be representing you.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
This part's a formality.
Judge will arraign you.
Set bail at a million, which is
mandatory for a murder charge.
Do you have a million dollars
in collateral?
No, not even close.
Anybody willing to help out
and co-sign? Your parents?
My parents died nine years ago.
I'll do what I can
to move things along.
Yeah!
State of revolution!
Revolution!
Come on in.
Come on, motherf***er.
- Get in.
- F***, yeah.
What are we gonna be?
We'll see.
We'll see.
Did Smith say
why they were rioting?
No. It's like he got everyone riled up
just for the hell of it.
Now, with John,
there's always a reason.
Come and destroy me.
Break the illusion to pieces.
You sure know how to stir up
a pile of sh*t, don't you, boy?
Well, you know me, Gordon,
always one for live entertainment.
They mean business this time,
John.
in the hole forever.
Now, you and I both know
you don't want that.
My Maria
would have been 27 yesterday.
Is that what this is all about?
You gotta stop living in the past,
John.
Hey, I am the past.
I should've been a dead man.
Instead, they turned me
into the walking f***ing dead.
All right, look.
I'm gonna get them to transfer you.
Give you a fresh start.
But after that, I am all out of favors.
You understand me?
Well, I guess it's...
...on to the next chapter,
huh, Gordon?
But then again, maybe not.
Just behave yourself, would you?
Come on.
What the hell's going on?
My preliminary was supposed
to be weeks ago.
I asked for more time
to build your case.
But I got some good news.
The DA's sympathetic
to your situation. He is.
He's agreed to reduce if you plead
no contest forthwith commitment...
Hold on. What does that mean?
If you plead no contest...
...he'll reduce the charge
to involuntary manslaughter.
You get no more than three years,
you start serving it immediately.
If you stay out of trouble,
you'll only do half.
Hell, you've already got
You'd be out in less than 15 months.
And what other options do I have?
We go to a jury trial which will
take a year to get to anyway...
...and they try you
for second-degree murder.
It carries a mandatory sentence
of 15 years to life.
Look, take the deal.
We won't do better.
Your Honor, the defendant
...to an amended count
of involuntary manslaughter.
We've agreed to a three-year sentence
in state prison...
...with a forthwith commitment.
The 97 days Mr. Porter has served
in county jail...
...would be credited
to his overall sentence.
Mr. Porter.
Do you understand
that this can be used against you...
... in any future violations
or convictions...
... resulting in additional time
added to your sentence?
Yes, Your Honor.
And Mr. Porter, do you understand...
... that you'll be banned from buying
or possessing firearms...
... that until your sentence
and parole term is served...
... you cannot vote or leave the county
without authorization.
- Do you understand these terms?
