Any news?

Oh yeah.

Cesario got revocated.

Six years.

Heh...

What's the matter, Burns?

You look sad.

Who is that?

Hey!

That's James.

My friends, Robyn.

Hey, what's up?

You got to school here?

Uh, James goes to Roosevelt.

Wanna play some ball?

We need another person.

Sure.

All right.

James is on my team.

Cool.

Ball, ball, ball!

Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Woo!

Get your man!

Ah!

James!

Woo!

Did you see that?

I didn't know you could play ball.

Yeah.

One of many skills I learned

courtesy of the state.

Yo, James.

Hurry up man.

Yo!

Ew, you're all sweating.

'Kay, I'm gonna go play.

All right.

What are you always writing about?

Nothing.

I'm gonna take you away from

this shithole neighbourhood.

That sounds nice.

Things are gonna be different.

We're gonna be different.

Good.

Look who decided to visit.

You know, it's like

you're never here anymore.

I'm leaving.

The f*** you are.

This isn't a good place, Crystal.

It's a dead end.

You should get out too.

With who?

With you?

Do you love me?

No. You don't.

You'd rather f*** that ugly

b*tch from the store, right?

Don't talk about her like that.

Where you been that past two weeks?

Huh?

You been sleeping at her house?

You're stupid.

You pathetic little boy.

And you're never gonna find

another woman like me.

You wanna what

me and Roc did last night?

Yo!

Where you going?

I got the call this morning.

Chuck found the body.

The deal's tonight.

What happened to loyalty, James?

What happened to riding

'till the wheels fall off?

Yo.

I'm the guy who took you in

off the street and

gave you your shot.

I don't owe you anything, Roc.

Okay.

Let me paint you a picture,

Jamesy Boy.

One year from now, and we

kicking it at the club,

doing better than ever,

wearing rollies.

Reminiscing.

You know what we're talking about?

We talkin' about James, the p*ssy.

James, who was less than a man,

and turned his back

on his brothers.

You walk down that street...

Yo...

That's your legacy, kid.

All right, just tonight.

See, D?

I told you we could count on him.

Jamesy Boy's the man.

You know the drills, ladies.

On the line.

Have those ID badges out.

Here we go.

Move it in, mate, let's go.

On the line.

Line 'em up!

Let me see that badge.

Fall in.

Let's go.

Hold!

Hold up.

Check him out!

Check him out.

Check him...

oh, hey, yo.

Hey, yo!

You little whore, you better jump,

'cause I'm gonna make you wish you had.

Don't come any closer.

Officer, stand down!

Cesario, do not do

this on my watch!

You hear me boy?

Chris.

Chris!

We can talk about this, son.

Come to the office,

we'll straighten this out.

Do it!

Come on!

He's doing it!

Think about what you're

f***ing doing right now!

No!

Cut him down.

Get him up.

Sir.

Get to your feet, inmate.

Get up!

This is over.

You understand me?

Look at me!

This is over!

It did not have to happen.

Lock it down.

Lock it down!

Move the f*** back!

The f***... no!

God damn it!

God damn!

Calm the f*** down!

Calm f***in' down!

Stop!

Right now!

Let him go.

He hit you!

That is an order!

Put him back in his cell.

Check that.

Put him in the hole.

Lock it down.

Lock it down!

Yo, something's up, bro.

No, it's not.

Be easy.

Text him again.

There you are, right there.

James... Drew.

A'ight, a'ight, fellas.

Easy and Flash right here, yo.

What's good, man?

S'all good, man.

What you guys got?

Uh, I got you man.

Yeah, yeah, check that out, man.

All right, that's what I'm talking about.

It's looking good, man.

Yo, E, man, put this sh*t in the trunk.

Yo, back up, back up, back up.

Chill, chill.

Look, yo, take, chill, look...

You wanna get paid, right?

Yo, E, man, hurry up.

Motherf***er.

There's no way out.

They're gonna have to come back.

Oh!

Come on!

Yeah, I see a single gun,

I kill every one

of you motherfuckers.

Man, get the guns!

Yeah.

Oh, sh*t!

Man...

They're gonna run

the tags on the car.

We gotta get out of town.

You comin' or not?

F*** you.

Sarah!

Sarah!

Oh my God, what happened to you?

We need to get out

of this city, right now.

What did you do?

Pack up some things.

We'll go somewhere far away

where nobody knows us.

What are you talking about?

There's my family, the store.

I can't just leave.

But it's what we promised.

No, it's not.

Are the police looking for you?

You're asking me to throw

my whole life away, James.

I won't do that.

You're the only thing...

I have left.

I'm sorry.

I been ridin'

To my favourite timin'

It's too bad your timin'

It just never came

Well, I don't know

how else to say

In a different way

But why don't you

Just

Fade away

'Cause there's

a battle goin' on

Down South of Babylon

So why don't you

just fade away

Lieutenant Falton,

thank you for your patience.

Of course, ma'am. James

Burns, 18 years old,

originally arrested four years ago

for selling of firearms,

drug possession

and illegal possession

of a firearm.

Do you know the inmate

we're talking about?

Yes.

How long has he

been housed with you?

Four months.

And you oversee the

level five portion of the jail

where Mr. Burns was assigned

because of his history of

institutional violence, correct?

Yes, ma'am, I do.

Three months ago,

the prisoner was involved

in an altercation

in the shower room

where another inmate was stabbed

with a homemade weapon.

Well, well, well,

there was some other...

Yes, I know, please.

Yes.

And the prisoner who was injured

had no record of violence

up until that point?

That is correct.

Two weeks ago,

Mr. Burns was involved

in an additional

altercation during roll call,

in which he severely injured

another inmate,

beating him with his fists,

and in the course

of that altercation,

he struck an officer?

Yes.

Lieutenant Falton, is there

something you'd like to add?

I'm sorry, excuse me?

Is there some other

fact or series of facts

that you'd like to privy

the committee's attention?

Lieutenant Falton...

No, ma'am.

Come on, man, what the f***?

Can't take the heat?

Get the f*** out of the game!

Oh, for real,

that's how you think...

Yeah, that's how I'm gonna play.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Yo, get off my back, Conrad.
