Shot Caller Page #4

---

a lot of time, you know.

We have no idea what

we're walking into.

I'm just trying to

protect you, that's all.

Sh*t, man, you got it.

You got it, bro.

I'm here for you, man.

I'm good.

Stash still out in the I.E.?

Moreno valley.

A storage unit.

Anybody check it lately?

I was out there yesterday.

It's good.

Yeah. Shotgun knows

the on-site manager.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's

good, it's good. He's gonna

cut the camera as soon as we

drive in. I'm on that sh*t.

Let's keep vehicles

to a minimum.

Just the moving truck and

a scout. Who's cleanest?

Horvath. He's been

off parole for two years.

You're scout. The rest of us

will load up in the truck.

You know what's riding on this.

Now, go home, lay low.

Get a ride with chopper.

Sure.

I tried, man. He's not giving up

the exchange. He said he's gonna

let us know an hour before,

that's what he said. I tried.

I done everything you

asked me to do, man.

Cool.

Then you wear a wire.

You can't ask me to wear a f***ing wire!

Don't come to me with that!

How you want me to come at you?

That means I'm a f***ing dead man! If

I'm a dead man, you ain't got sh*t!

You chose this. So, unless

you produce, Monica stays

locked up for trafficking,

and you're next.

I'm trying to help you out, man.

And I'm here.

I'm f***ing here, man.

I'm f***ing here.

I done everything

you asked me to do.

I can't help it if he ain't

giving me sh*t and I can't help

you and your old lady if you

don't give me sh*t. It's simple.

It's simple.

What do you suggest i do, frank?

You tracking my phone, right?

Just do the phone thing, man.

Just do the phone thing.

Frank, listen to me.

I'm gonna say it

one time, all right?

If your f***ing cell phone

loses its signal even for a

millisecond-be quiet.

Then I'm kicking your

trafficking charges up to DEA.

All my friends there gonna

take care of you and Monica

real well. Fair time.

You know what that means?

A f***ing mandatory

twenty right off the top.

It's the position

you're putting me in.

All right?

Yeah.

Can I ask you something?

What, frank?

I deliver, she comes home.

I want your word.

Yeah.

I want your word, man.

I said, yeah.

You got my word.

Look, man, she's my life, okay?

She's my f***ing life, man.

Ball's in your court, frank.

Catch you later, frank.

It's your turn, money man.

I know you're shitting

bricks right about now.

Trying to rationalize

the morality.

What will your

family think of you?

How will they judge you?

All of that went through

my head, too,

when I first broke my cherry.

And then I realized

none of that matters.

The only thing that matters is you getting

home to your family in one piece.

This guy's a monster, brother.

Make sure you're with me.

How can they know he's

really snitching?

Doesn't matter! If we leave him

breathing, they'll whack us, okay?

All right, they're popping 'em.

It's time.

Come here! Come here!

We're doing this!

All right, before

he hits the tier.

Get him!

The fact is we all started out

as someone's little angel.

And a place like this forces us

to become warriors or victims.

Nothing in between

can exist here.

And you've chosen

to be a warrior.

Now it's up to

you to remain one.

Did you get it notarized?

Uhm yes. Yes, I did.

I told you not

to bring him here.

I know, but he wanted

to be here, so...

I'm gonna stay by the car, okay?

Okay.

Look...

I meant every word

in that letter, so...

I don't have much else to say.

You know, I used to love

getting your letters.

I reread them like

a dozen times.

And then nothing from you

for the past seven years.

And then I get this one.

Even when you knew you were getting out, you

still want nothing to do with your son.

It's not that.

Some things just don't

go back together again.

They just don't. You, your mom,

are on your own trajectory now.

I'm on another one.

What, just wasting the

rest of your life, dad?

It doesn't matter what I do!

Your job is to take care

of yourself and your mom.

Look, I get why

you pushed us away.

It was to protect us.

But, dad, you've

done your time now.

It's over.

Let us help you get

back on your feet.

Please.

You wanna help me?

Yeah, I do.

Then stay away.

You're a f***ing loser!

Just get in the car.

What can I get you today?

An order of pancakes...

Scrambled eggs and bacon,

and a cup of coffee, please.

All right.

- Same for me.

- Okay.

- Thank you, ma'am.

- Please and thank you.

I need another car.

Janie's Nissan's out front.

It's a piece of

sh*t, but it's clean.

Did my truck break down?

No. We'll pick it up tomorrow.

Get me shotgun's address.

I'll pick him up myself.

Will do.

How did you meet shotgun?

Did I do something wrong, money?

Just never told me.

A guy from my unit, he's

from huntington beach.

We were real tight.

Yeah.

All he talked about was this

skinhead gang he was with

and surfing.

Man...

He was gonna teach me

when he got back, but...

He got blown up.

When I went to the

funeral, I met Janie.

She's his sister. I told

her about the guns because

her brother and i

were gonna sell them.

We were supposed to

sell them together.

And she introduced

me to shotgun.

Two coffees.

So shotgun...

He's jumping you in for this.

I don't wanna be a part of a gang.

Who's with bottles?

Herman Gomez. He's got the

keys to the yard for the eses.

His old man's royalty, bro.

F***ing ogma.

Herman's solid, solid as f***.

You make sure you treat him

like he's one of our own.

Word already came

down from the beast.

Eses kicking off

with the toads, bro.

I'm f***ing going with them.

F***ing live for this sh*t.

- I heard that, brother.

- F***, yeah.

Damn, i can't be part of a riot.

Don't expect a

hall pass, brother.

Whole wood pile's

expected to get down.

Just don't go anywhere the cops

or cameras can single you out.

Stay in the middle,

keep swinging on dudes.

Unless there's something obvious, they'll

just put us on lockdown like they always do.

Then you're home free.

Iron up.

F*** these busters

and these blacks homies!

Go! Earn your ink!

Sh*t!

They're moving! It's on!

Come on.

Aahh!!

Get down!

Get down! Get down!

Stay down or I will shoot you!

I f***ing owe you one.

Nobody get up! Stay

where you are!

Please rise.

Mr. harlon, with this

court finding you guilty of

assault by a prisoner

with a deadly weapon

I'm sentencing you to the

percent of these terms.

Both will run concurrently

with your initial sentence.

It's over.

Forget I exist.

You'll be locked

down 23/7 in the security

one hour yard time.

Three showers a week.

You will not be allowed in the

same open area as any other
