Lockdown Page #4

- Can you think of any other inconsist...?

- They had the gun and no alibis.

They didn't do it, officer.

I hear you.

I don't wanna see someone in jail

for something they didn't do.

But everything I know is in my report.

Have a good day.

Thank you.

Graffiti, man, I told you,

I ain't with this sh*t.

- God don't f***ing like this!

- Is cool!

F*** that, man!

- Come on, man.

- Motherf***er!

You're my b*tch!

You wanna do a little dance?

You wanna dance with Daddy?

Here you go.

How many's that?

- Fifty.

- I do a hundred a day.

I ain't f***ing around!

There's Daddy.

Run to Daddy, Jordan.

- You ain't got nothing to say to him.

- F*** you!

You're not listening to me, Avery.

" I found a home...

...or a hole in the ground,

as you will.

But do not jump to the conclusion

that because I...

...call my home a hole...

...it is damp and cold

like a grave.

Mine is a warm hole.

And I say this to you because...

...it is incorrect to assume...

...that because I'm invisible...

...and live in a hole...

...I am dead."

Thas Ralph Ellison.

This sh*t ain't right.

No hot food. No fresh air.

- How long they gonna keep us in here?

- As long as they want.

As long as they want.

You got a lot of fire in you, Avery.

The only way you gonna make it

through this is to calm yourself.

You understand?

It ain't easy.

No, is not easy.

Thas why they call it prison,

young brother.

Lockdown's over!

Rise and shine!

Les go, ladies!

Fall out and fall in line!

- That wasn't so bad, was it?

- I'm behind in my mortgage.

Demand is up. Is double-up time.

I'm taking over this motherf***er.

It was good to get your letter.

I had a lot of time to think

about your last visit, and I'm sorry.

I know you didn't mean it.

How's Jordan?

He's good. He misses his daddy.

His daddy misses him too.

You wanna go outside?

Yeah.

You'd be surprised the things you value

when you don't have them anymore.

Like you. Jordan.

I wouldn't mind getting back

in that swimming pool neither.

Yeah, I know.

We talked to the police.

That wasn't much help.

We're trying to track down

the manager of that burger stand.

I don't know, maybe he'll change

his testimony.

Whatever.

Have you seen Dre?

No.

They got us all separated.

Won't be long before we're all

hanging out again, though.

We haven't heard from him.

He hasn't returned our letters or called.

Is real hard in here, you know?

Real hard.

But he's not that tough,

and he looks up to you.

So if you see him, have him call.

Yeah, I'll do that.

I promise.

Okay.

- Where you headed?

- I'm going to see Dre.

Hold my cards.

Well, lookie here. What the hell

you been doing, boy?

I ain't been doing nothing.

Are you saying I'm nothing?

- Did I tell you you could leave this cell?

- I just took a walk, all right?

- I didn't tell you to leave, did I?

- What the f***?

I tell you when you can come

and when you go.

When you eat, sleep, piss and

drink! You understand me?

Motherf***er!

F*** you!

I'll f***ing kill you!

Kick some ass, white boy!

- Stay the f*** down!

- Kill him!

Motherf***er!

F*** with me, motherf***er!

Get off me! Get off me!

Kill that motherf***er!

Motherf***er!

F*** you!

Get off me! Get off me!

Come on.

I'm sorry.

- Let me go!

- Take it easy!

What about them? What about

them? Sh*t! Goddamn it.

That nigga Avery got some heart.

Nigga handled his f***ing business

on Graffiti.

That nigga ain't no punk.

With that nigga being isolated,

he can't make no moves with us.

- That fucks up my game.

- They let them white boys walk.

Is over for them niggas, though.

Whas up? Get the f*** out

of the way.

- F***, nigga, I'm working!

- Move!

- Get your ass the f*** back!

- Let a real motherf***er through!

I'm tired of you, nigga!

I know you ain't raising

your hands at me!

Sit down!

I got a better idea for that fool.

Since that nigga hot,

we gonna cool him off.

- Put that motherf***er in the freezer!

- F*** you!

F*** both y'all niggas!

F*** y'all! F*** y'all!

F*** y'all!

B*tch-ass niggas!

Let me go, nigga!

F*** y'all, niggas!

No, f*** you, nigga. Freeze.

Open three.

You're blowing it, man.

He had it coming.

You're found guilty of assault in here,

you'll do time, no matter what.

- I said, he had it coming!

- Spare me the tough convict talk.

- It fails me, my friend.

- Friend?

Man, you don't know me.

You don't know where I've been.

And is hard in this motherf***er.

Is not supposed to be easy.

And you just made it that much

tougher on yourself.

I'm here because I believe

you didn't shoot that girl.

You got a raw deal.

I'm trying to give a man who

deserves it a chance.

What am I supposed to think?

I'm locked down in here,

my family's out there.

You're supposed to have faith.

Sh*t, I'm trying!

Every time I hear the cell doors

close, man...

...I lose a little bit more.

Look, tomorrow you go before

the disciplinary committee.

I'll try to think of something.

You just hold on.

Everybody here?

Good. First up,

the board would like to see...

Excuse me.

My name is Malachi Young...

...and if it pleases the board,

I'd like to go first.

Hold on.

Mr. Young, the board will see you.

Come this way.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Have a seat, Mr. Young.

The report says you're responsible

for one inmate in the infirmary...

...with a broken nose...

...another with a fractured cheek...

...and another with an injury

to the back and head.

We've already heard from

the officers on duty...

...at the time of the assault.

Being the senior inmate in this

incident, what do you have to say?

I would say that I'm guilty.

And that I'm totally responsible

for everything that went on.

Are you aware of what you're

saying, Mr. Young?

I'm totally aware

of what I'm saying.

The problem is, you motherfuckers

don't know us.

You motherfuckers don't know me.

I been locked down in here

for 18 years.

Them young niggas don't know

how to run sh*t.

This is my house!

I run this motherf***er!

You know what I'm saying?

I run this motherf***er!

I run this motherf***er!

This is my f***ing house!

I will kill you, motherf***er!

You hear me? I run this motherf***er!

- See what I'm talking about?

- Whas the deal?

Heard your boy walked

at the board, huh?

Right, right.

There's only one problem, though.

- Graffiti's still in the game.

- Don't worry about it.

Now that Avery back in circulation...

...l'm gonna hit him with the deal.

I think I got an idea, boy...

...how to take Graffiti

out of the game forever.

But I'm gonna need your help.

Whas up? Put me on.

Shoot the ball, then.

I'm gonna tell you about it.

Maximum security, huh?

After my little performance,

you know...

...they didn't have much choice.

Look, I done max before.

I can do it again.

Maybe I wasn't ready to get out

anyway.

Young, les get a move on.

Could we have one more second?

Look, maybe when I get out,

we'll hook up.

- You can teach me how to swim.

- I'll do that.
