Shot Caller Page #3

---

Now, I need to be with you. I

need to be on your f***ing hip...

you know I can't be seen

around anyone validated.

Like I'm doing right now

in broad f***ing daylight!

Now, you get everyone in check.

We got too much on the

line for any more bullshit!

Just be careful.

F*** me!

You were told to answer

to nobody but me.

I'm sorry....

shut your hole!

Look at me.

Everything you do in this

game has a consequence.

If you defied my order like that

inside, I'd make you f***ing bleed.

I will walk the walk, money.

I swear.

Damn right you will.

Open east gate.

High security first!

Look, man,

i know you're scared. All right?

I would be scared.

But you need to know this-

all violent crimes,

from domestic

battery to capital murder,

get housed together.

It means you'll be

with the big boys...

And they will test you,

whether you like it or not.

The rest of you, single file.

So you gotta

stand up for yourself...

Because once you're

marked in there...

It will never end.

Yo, bring that in!

This the real place.

This the real place, yo!

You gonna roll with us or not?

Best check yourself, peckerwood!

Looks like some lame

just stepped on a land mine.

Yo, motherf***er, move!

I'm f***ing about

to boot your ass!

Get down! Get down!

Now, get down!

Get the f*** down right now!

Everybody down!

All right, break it up!

Get off him!

Get on the ground!

Spray 'em!

Stay down. Stay down.

Just breathe.

Fish has heart.

Get on the wall.

Step in.

You throw any piss or sh*t...

I'll leave you in here

for the whole 30, no rec.

Leave your dirties by the door.

Turn around.

No new inks since your release?

Thought I might

find a shamrock or ab.

Only a select few

can wear that ink.

I see.

Get dressed.

Need you to clear something up.

Girl got shot last night

out in south bay...

And someone reported

you were there.

Then they got it wrong.

I need an alibi.

Got a room at the easy

stay motel near downtown,

till I find an apartment.

Says here you checked

in at 6:
35 P.M.

But the shooting

was after midnight.

That's all I got.

Paid cash with the rest

of my gate money for a

steak dinner at sizzler's.

Hit the bunk after that.

Not much of an alibi.

Not much putting me

at the scene either.

I figure you'd already be giving me a

one year bullet for breaking parole.

Don't think I won't.

When do I report in again?

You don't.

I check in on you.

Got a cell phone yet?

I wrote the number

down on the form.

Good.

Thank you.

Wood.

Come with me.

The man you're about to meet

has the keys to this yard.

Treat him with respect.

I'm bottles.

Jacob.

Yeah, the stock

broker from Pasadena.

When you come to yard, chow,

you take a sh*t, whatever...

You stick to your own race.

Why did you fight that toad?

He challenged me first.

You gonna go around kicking it off

with every buster that calls you out?

I'm not looking for trouble, no.

But I'm not taking

any sh*t either.

The only thing we got

in here is our respect.

The question is, what you gonna do when you're

out here slumming it with the rest of us?

Cause the safety of these

numbers comes with a price.

There are no free rides here.

Everyone puts in work, whether

cliqued up or not. I understand.

I'm not talking about helping

us with our computer skills.

You'll get your f***ing hands

dirty like the rest of us.

Or you can go back to seeing

how that lone bullshit works

out for you, money man.

Hey.

Hi.

Joshua made you a letter...

And he's very excited

for you to read it.

He did it all by himself, and...

I wanted to give it to you, but

some guard up front took it.

I know, I know, but

they'll get it back to me.

Good.

Can't wait to read it.

I think you'll like it.

How is he?

He's really good.

Sorry.

It's okay.

It's good to see you.

Kate, something's wrong.

What is it?

Ehm, Jennifer's suing

us for wrongful death.

I mean, I...

I don't know what to

do with that, but...

How much is in our checking?

Three months, maybe.

I called Lynn, 'cause I'm

gonna get my job back.

No. No, you're not quitting

school when you're this close.

I don't have a choice.

I have to pay

bills, Jacob, so...

Look, it'll take her at least six months to get a

court date and we have some equity on the house.

Yes.

Use our equity line while

we put it on the market.

I'm not selling our home.

I'm not.

It's just a house, Kate.

It'll help stretch things long enough

for you to get your design license...

and that's what matters.

It's our home.

Your life is not

stopping because of this.

You promise me.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Kate?

Sh*t.

Jacob.

Must feel good to be out...

I would imagine.

Drove by old house and...

Doesn't look much different,

to tell you the truth.

So, where are you working?

I'm working in a legal firm.

It's a...

I'm a paralegal.

Ever think about pushing your

interior designing again?

No.

No, there's no time for that.

You know, it's just between

work and being a mom, it's...

It's fine.

It is what it is.

Why'd you send him that letter?

Josh thought you were

committing suicide.

This is for you.

They're signature cards

to your new checking.

Have them notarized,

then get them back to me.

You're not gonna

answer my question?

There's 178 grand in there.

I don't know how you got that

money, and I don't care.

You need to keep that.

I'm not taking it.

No, it's yours now.

I'm not taking your gang money!

Just keep it down.

Don't tell me what to do.

You don't get to do that.

I don't hear from

you for seven years.

Nothing!

I mean, how do you

even now where I live?

I'm not trying

anything here, Kate.

The money's clean.

I just couldn't get it

to you until I was out.

Okay. What is this?

Is this my consolation prize?

Give it to Josh then.

Whatever you want...

you give it to Josh.

He deserves a dad.

I wrote him that letter...

Because I won't let my stink

affect him another day.

He deserves better.

And you deserve better.

Once that's handled, it'll

be the last time you see me.

Your order from the canteen?

There's gonna be

a balloon in your canteen.

You're responsible for it.

What do I do with it?

Take it to yard tomorrow.

How?

In your f***ing ass, man.

Make sure you lube-up, too.

You don't want this sh*t

breaking off inside you.

The f*** you looking

at the floor for?

Is there a problem?

I get it. You think

you're bad ass 'cause you

put your tips on

some f***ing toad?

Maybe I should get you

transferred into my side.

I got a open door policy, bro.

Find out how a white boy fights.

Would you like to find that out?

We don't have a problem.

- No problem?

- No.

No loitering, jinkins.

Let's go.

Just keeping good hygiene, sir.

Keep putting it in

that work, money man.

F*** out of the way, man.

Don't you see me f***ing coming?

F*** out of the way.

We'll get the location

from the eses tomorrow

night an hour before.

We got a problem here?

No, man, there's no problem.

No, it's just that's not
