Vendetta Page #2

---

You know,

when they called me,

I thought I was gonna be

identifying a body.

You're lucky.

Mace, that night you called me out...

...to Griffin's place,

did you know how it would play out?

I called you because you're a good cop.

Mason,

this isn't gonna bring her back.

I know.

Ben Wilson?

What are you doing in here?

I've been here since I quit the force.

It isn't too demanding.

You get stuck doing a lot of stuff,

who end up in a pool of

their own blood.

It wasn't exactly a fair fight.

Oh, it never is.

Especially when the other side...

...of that fight...

... is coming from Victor Abbott.

So, Abbott is running things inside here?

Oh, he's running things

in here and out there.

He's built quite the network

for himself over the years.

And the two lap dogs?

Drexel's in charge of sales.

You need something within these walls.

Drexel delivers.

He doesn't care

about skin or gang colors.

The only color he cares about is green.

And Stonewall is full

of paying customers.

Booker?

Well, he's head of human resources.

When Victor needs

to hand out a pink slip,

Booker delivers the bad news.

Abbott's been in Stonewall

for less than a year.

How did he grab control so quickly?

You get enough blood on your hands,

eventually people give you

what you want.

After that, they do

your dirty work for you.

Doesn't matter where you are,

in here, out there,

it is all the same to them.

B*tch.

If that's true,

then why would Victor risk...

... getting thrown back inside?

He was out.

Completely in the clear.

When they sent Victor back to Stonewall,

they didn't lock him up.

They just put a fortress around him.

This is where he thrives.

Time's up, Danvers.

Good seeing you again, Ben.

Mmm-hmm.

Hey, Mason?

Abbott may be the body of the snake,

but he's not the head.

Do yourself a favor

and remember that.

Will do.

Danvers.

So, you've healed?

Enough.

That's good to hear.

Mob mentality and vendettas

have no place in my prison.

Eventually those responsible

for your current state...

... will be discovered.

And I promise you,

they will be dealt...

...with properly.

Anyway, welcome back

to general population.

Abbott may be the body of the snake,

but he's not the head.

Do yourself a favor

and remember that.

So, what's so urgent I

had to get down here...

...immediately?

You remember Ben Wilson?

Ben Wilson? Yeah, vaguely.

Well, he's working here now.

He said something to me

the other day in passing.

It just didn't sit right.

I want you to find out how many people...

... have walked from Stonewall early.

Abbott's not in this alone.

Victor could not have free reign...

... without someone like Snyder.

Why must everyone disappoint me?

You're done.

Hey.

You ain't so bad without your boys, huh?

Get up.

Yo, you heard about Flynn?

- What about him?

Bet you it was Danvers.

I just heard some stuff.

Marco's dead.

I know. Flynn, too.

What?

Guards found him in the kitchen...

...with a broken neck.

Son of a b*tch.

So?

What are we gonna do?

You aren't gonna do anything.

But I'm next, Vic.

And I'll deal with it.

You hear about

Flynn and Marco?

Whole yard's whispering.

Think it's our friend?

It appears that way.

Seems a little above his pay grade,

don't you think?

Flynn and Marco?

Those two were a couple of spoons...

...in a drawer full of knives.

Fair enough.

You should arrange

for another reminder.

Make sure this one

is a little more direct.

Get up.

I'm here to deliver a message.

Message received.

You've created quite

a predicament for me.

Oh, what to do,

what to do?

You nearly killed a man.

With a sink, no less.

That's very, very impressive.

And while I can quietly admire...

...your feat...

... inside this office,

I cannot allow it to go unchecked...

...inside this prison.

So maybe we can come up

with an arrangement...

... that would be mutually beneficial.

Would that interest you,

Mr. Danvers?

No.

Well, that is a shame.

We're done here.

Will?

Take Mr. Danvers to the hole.

One week.

Let's go.

I'm curious,

do you have a mutually

beneficial agreement...

...with Victor Abbott?

Hey.

How are you holding up?

I'll survive.

Who the hell hits someone with a sink?

You guys should watch

yourselves, though.

That cat, he ain't playing around.

Neither are we.

So what you thinking? Hmm?

We done playing?

Are you giving orders now?

No, man. I'm just

wondering how much damage...

... this punk's got to do

before we take him out.

Look,

I need Snyder on board

before we retire Danvers.

Now, we got a good thing

going on in here.

We don't need our business going public.

He's cut off in here.

Who's gonna notice

if he goes missing?

You're back in the laundry tomorrow.

What?

I need a favor.

Hey.

Victor's looking for you.

Yeah? Where's he at?

He's in your cell.

I wouldn't keep him waiting.

Yo, Vic?

That old, fat prick said

you were looking for me?

Leaving already? Huh?

But you just got here.

You f***ing shut up.

Shut up.

Enter.

You've got a visitor.

Abbott wants to see you.

If it's not one thing,

it's another.

Let him in.

Victor. It's so nice...

...My patience is running

real thin with Danvers.

Sit.

Now, you were saying?

He's killed three men.

Yes.

And I told you,

you are not to touch him.

There's too much heat.

He's a cop and

a celebrated one at that.

And I don't need that kind of attention.

It's bad for business.

This whole cat and mouse game...

... is getting really old with Danvers.

Now, I don't know

how he got in here...

...You really don't know how he got...

...into Stonewall, do you?

Think.

You let him in.

Not exactly.

He certainly has friends

in the right places,

but I do have final say

over who lives under my roof.

Are you insane?

He's here on a rampage.

Mmm.

And why would that bother me?

We had a deal.

Say that again.

We had a deal.

Had.

We had a deal and that deal...

...was contingent...

... on you being on the outside.

Remember?

I arrange for a witness

to disappear and you walk.

And you repay that kindness...

... with half of whatever

business you do...

... out there.

Not in here.

You...

... Are of no use to me in here.

But...

But nothing.

Revenge was more important

to you than business.

And that reflects poorly on me.

And I can't allow

that to go unnoticed.

However...

... There may be an opportunity

for you to redeem yourself.

Hello?

Detective Gainer?

Speaking.

Joel Gainer?

This is prison medical from

Stonewall Correctional Center.

One of our inmates,

a Mason Danvers,

unfortunately,

he was found...

...beaten to death...

...in his cell earlier this evening.

Mr. Danvers listed you

as his emergency contact.

And I'm calling because we'd appreciate it...

...if you could come in

and identify the body.

Yeah. I'll be right over.

Thanks for coming on

such short notice, Officer.

Hello, Officer.

Thank you for coming out

to identify the body.

Well.

Let's get this show on the road.
