But I ain't want no trouble.

Thas why I'm up in here now.

Well, you better get your mind right.

He want his little black b*tch back.

Look, f*** Graffiti, all right?

I f***ed him up.

He know not to f*** with me.

You ain't gotta prove that

to me, nigga.

Yo, Dre, we go back, man.

...but I ain't trying to see nothing

happen to you in here.

What are you talking about?

What he talking about is, you need

Thas for sure.

Better get your mind right, though.

I got some of that cure, boy.

Thanks, man, all right?

- You all right?

Mr. Pierce, what was so important?

This is my daughter, Marisa.

She's an attorney

at a firm downtown.

- Nice to meet you.

- How you doing? Whas going on?

I discussed Avery's case with a friend

at the DA's office a few days ago.

Today, she slipped me this file.

Is the arrest report of

Bernard Moss and Anthony Green...

...also known as Broadway

and Little G.

I know Broadway.

He shot that cop, right?

Bernard and Anthony were arrested

for attempted robbery...

...the same night Avery was arrested.

They killed two employees

and one police officer.

So they coulve tried to rob that burger

stand first and then tried again later?

They were driving a white

Mustang. Hardtop.

- Where are they now?

- Anthony was killed during the robbery.

And Broadway?

Serving a life sentence

at Los Lunas.

I think I wanna go see Broadway.

Whas up, brother?

Avery Montgomery.

- And you?

- Get the f*** out of my face!

Calm down, brother! Calm down!

I ain't the one! I ain't the one!

I ain't no b*tch,

and I ain't looking for one.

I don't wanna be here

no more than you.

You bring conflict to this cell,

you're bringing it to me.

And that can't happen.

You understand me,

young brother?

Yeah, I understand.

Good. All right.

Looks like you're the new fish.

You get the top bunk.

- Out!

- I'm writing a letter.

Ain't nobody asked you!

I said, get the f*** out!

Get your ass in the yard!

I know we ain't talked much

since we been sent up.

I won't lie, I was afraid as you

when this sh*t went down.

When a nigga scared, he grab

to the first person he know.

And Clean Up, thas my family.

So I went with him.

You speak to Krista?

- Yeah.

- How she holding up?

- How are any of us holding up?

- Thas what I'm saying! Sh*t is rough.

Niggas outside think they know

whas going on. They don't.

And so?

- I'm saying we need to stick together.

- What do you mean, "stick together"?

We serving time for sh*t

we ain't even do.

How come time ain't serving us, huh?

We can get fat and walk out

of here new men!

- What are you talking about?

- I'm talking about getting paid!

Motherfucking Clean Up...

...he got this scheme going,

you know?

- Slinging a little dope.

- I knew it.

Will you listen before

you say nothing?

This ain't no risk to you.

All you gotta do...

...is have Krista hook up

with my man on the outside.

- He gonna give her a balloon...

- Balloon? Are you crazy?

I'm offering you this sh*t

because you're my partner!

Partners?

Nigga, I'm in this motherf***er

because we partners!

Krista bring that sh*t up here

and get busted? What about Jordan?

What about him?

He gets sent to a foster home

because we partners?

F*** that, partner!

I ain't into it!

You need to get into something.

You think that sh*t between you

and Graffiti's dead?

Malachi? That nigga gone.

You gonna need some protection

in here.

You help us, we'll help you!

Whas wrong with you?

You gonna help me?

We grew up together!

Been friends since we was little!

And this how you gonna

come at me?

I swear to God, you ain't

no friend! You ain't sh*t!

Do you hear me, nigga?

You ain't sh*t!

Stay the f*** away from me!

Present yourself.

How you doing, Broadway?

What, you don't know me now?

Yeah, I know who the f***

you is.

And I know you ain't drive here

to show me your titties...

...and ask me how the f***

I'm doing.

I didn't.

So, what the f*** you want, then?

I wanna know if you know

about a shooting that took place...

...on the day you robbed

that other spot.

Ask your man and Cashmere.

They did it!

No, Avery didn't do it. I think

you know that, Broadway.

Avery had a promising future before...

F*** you, b*tch! I had a

promising future selling crack...

...before I caught this case!

I don't see you going to talk

on my behalf!

Well, is you? No, I ain't

f***ing think so.

I'm asking you to help me,

thas all.

Help you. Ain't nobody f***ing

helping me!

This is Avery's son, Jordan.

He cries himself to sleep at night

wondering where his father is.

If you won't do it for Avery

or for me...

...do it for our son.

Did you do both robberies?

F*** you! And f*** Avery!

I'm in this b*tch till I f***ing die!

I'm locked down 23 hours

a f***ing day!

Ain't nobody doing sh*t for me!

So f*** you.

- And f*** that little nigga!

- Why don't you be a f***ing man...

...and admit you did that sh*t?

- F*** you!

- Answer me!

- F*** you.

Get the f*** off me!

Get the f*** off me!

- What the f*** y'all looking at?

- Help me! Did you do it?

F***er! F*** that!

Motherf***er!

Sh*t. F***.

Then I'll be less than that man

'cause I integrated.

Knowing I got my own problem

to solve.

Wishing I could hit the dog

with a blast from the revolve.

But like a laugh, I stand tall.

If you swing or if you bust...

...l'm on guard.

I pray up to the stars.

Please, Father, forgive us...

...for what we are.

Motherf***er!

B*tch! F*** this, b*tch!

F*** you!

Get off!

F*** that!

Don't move. Stay right there.

Get back in! Hey, hey, hey.

Stay right there. Get back!

- I said, get back!

- I need a medic here right now!

A medic over here, now!

Hey, baby, I just got home.

I talked to Broadway.

You remember Cashmere's boy?

I think he did it. He killed

that girl, I know it.

- I can't prove it yet, but...

- Krista, listen.

Just stop that, okay?

What? Whas the matter?

Dre's dead, baby.

What?

I'm sorry, I couldn't save him.

What happened?

I'm sorry.

Nate, I appreciate what you told us,

and we're gonna take care of you.

For your protection, we'll transfer

you to another facility.

F*** that! You can't transfer me!

Take me back to my cell!

I snitched on the nigga!
