"I think I can get him to two years on count one, reduce the great bodily injury enhancement... to what's called a DUI with injury." "Now, that drops the additional three years to eight months." "It means... realistically you'd only have to do 16 months." "Yeah, 16 months." "Ehm..." "It's your call, pal." "Hey." "Hi." "Okay, so they accepted the house as collateral." "So I can bail you out, get you outta there." "Okay?" "What?" "Did something happen?" "What?" "I know this is gonna be hard to take... but Steve got them to accept a deal."

"Janie's Nissan's out front." "It's a piece of shit, 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." "Fucking OGMA." "Herman's solid, solid as fuck." "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 fucking going with them." "Fucking live for this shit." " I heard that, brother." " Fuck, yeah." "(MONEY) 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." "(MAN) Fuck these busters and these blacks homies!" "Go!" "Earn your ink!" "(INMATE) Oh, shit!" "They're moving!" "It's on!" "[SHOT]" "Come on." "Ah!" "[GUN SHOT]" "(GUARDS) Get down!" "Get down!" "Get down!" "Stay down or I will shoot you!" "I fucking owe you one." " Nobody get up!" " Stay where you are!" "(BAILIFF) Please rise." "(JUDGE) Mr. Harlon, with this court finding you guilty of assault by a prisoner with a deadly weapon" "I'm sentencing you to the middle term of four years." "In addition, having been found guilty of committing this crime in association and for the benefit of a gang," "I'm sentencing you to an additional five years to run consecutively." "Penal Code 667.5 requires that you serve a minimum of 85 percent of these terms." "Both will run concurrently with your initial sentence." "[GAVEL]" "It's over." "Forget I exist." "(SGT JEFFERS) You'll be locked down 23/7 in the Security." "Housing Unit with one hour yard time." "Three showers a week." "You will not be allowed in the same open area as any other inmate, outside your cellie." "And there will be no warning shots." "You cliqued up with anyone?" "No." "Why participate in the riot?" "You know why." "You got your rules and we got the gang's rules." "And theirs matter." "Yeah, well, it cost you a year of good time on top of the new sentences and put you with the heavy hitters, so..." "I hope it was worth it." "(GUARD) You know the deal, Ripper." "Face the wall." "Crack 13." "Close 13." "Hands through the food port." "[HAND CUFFS]" "You can get up, Ripper." "Welcome to the pad, Money." "I'm Ripper." "Who's got the keys here?" "Redwood, from The Brand." "(P.A.) Open forward yard door." "Redwood, this is Money." "Heard how you got down at Chino." "So did The Beast." "Appreciate it." "He still in the hole?" "Four hundred yards to my six." "Less nine years." "Little different than the mainline, huh?" "You could say that." "Make no mistake, brother, they design places like this to break men like us." "Eses and woods." "500 Navy Seals." "Ripper, count 'em." "(RIPPER) Ready!" "Down!" "One, two, three!" "One!" "Down!" "One, two, three!" "Two!" "Down!" "One, two, three!" "Three!" "Down!" "One, two, three!" "Four!" "Whassup?" "Thought you were posting up on your CI." "Since three a.m." "Figured I'd get some chow and take a piss." "Any movement?" "Nada." "You know, I can't put my finger on it, Manny, but there's more to this Harlon guy." "What you mean, like a power play?" "Phil says his wife and his kid show up to his motel, slams the door in their face." "I mean, you talking about a guy with a perfect life, all right?" "A fucking envious life." "He's got not one prior." "Can't even fucking spell the word gangster, man." "He gets fucked up on a DUI manslaughter, kills his friend." "Yeah, a dime will change you for sure, but a guy like that... gets out, throws everything away?" "No." "Look, all I know is, once a dude gets institutionalized, anything is possible, man." "What you got?" "Still squat on the eses." "But ATF did pick up a call from Mexico on the wiretap." "Something about picking up guns near the Salton Sea." "So at least we know the area now." "Who's the tap on?" "Heavy hitter from the Sonora cartel." "And of course ATF wants any and all intel we got." "Sonora, huh?" "Yeah." "This thing just keeps on getting bigger and bigger." "Maybe it's not a bad idea to have ATF out there with us." "Hey, you know what, check it out, bro." "Why don't you just quarterback this one from the office?" "I mean, shit, what's it been, a week since the shooting?" "Sit around with a thumb up my ass?" "Come on, you kidding me?" "That's worse, man." "Sure as hell have seen my share of violence, man, but when you're in it... when you're on the other end... that's a whole different ball game, brother." "Look, man, I've never been in an actual gunfight myself... so I'm not gonna sit here and tell you I know what you're going through, because I don't." "But what I do know is that there's a young girl out there who's safe right now." "And that's because of you." "Goddamn, man." "It sucks." "It's good." "I want her to move on." "(GUARD) Shit!" "Get him on the ground!" " Get him, Money!" " Get down!" "(P.A.) On the yard." "One on one." "Enemy combat." "Enemy combat." "(MAN) Fuck that Norteño up, homie!" "Get him!" "(GUARD) Money!" "Money, let him go!" "Rip that farmer's head off!" "Spray him!" "Get down!" "Get down now!" "One!" "Two!" "Three!" "Hey." "(LT ROBERTS) Your counsellor wants to see you." "Since when do you escort alone?" "Why, you gonna be a problem?" "No, sir." "[HAND CUFFS]" "(THE BEAST) Know who I am?" "Yes." "They sent Redwood to Death Row after what happened." "It took him four months to finally get that screw." "Fuck 'em." "These cops... they need to understand... that we run the show." "Some get it." "Like Roberts." "But the rest think the more they lock us down... and isolate us... it strips us of our power." "They even think we closed the books." "We're a dying breed." "They're dead fucking wrong." "We're just real selective... who we choose to call our brother." "So the question is... are you ready?" "Yes." "What I wanted to hear." "But keep your ink clean so they can't validate you." "That's how we lull the enemy to sleep." "I understand." "You have the keys out here now." "Roberts will single-cell you." "Get you some privacy." "Works for me." "You like to read?" "I got a good collection on psychology." "Just finished reading The Human Animal." "I'll send it over with some of my favourites." "A warrior's deadliest weapon... is his mind." "Welcome to the family, brother." "♪♪" "(LT ROBERTS) Mr. Harlon, after serving 85 percent of your time... having a clean conduct record with no infractions..." "I recommend to the Parole Board your release... 30 days from today." "This is your parole packet." "Tells you who to report to." "Thank you." "♪♪" "[BANGS ON DOOR]" "Push send." "And I'll be back for it in 30." "[CELL VIBRATES]" "You know Shotgun?" "He just sent word to me about a heavy shipment of guns a youngster smuggled back from Afghanistan." "He wants permission to go to Herman Gomez to offload them for a million five to their cartel connections." "Herman got his letters?" "And he's out, too." "Just like you'll be in 30 days." "I'll get word to Herman you're handling the deal for us." "And fuck our usual cut." "Shotgun just bought himself a full partner on this." "I'll be on parole though." "The fuck's that got to do with anything?" "Well, 10 years..." "You think the fucking honour of being one of us ends at the gates?" "It ends when you're six feet under." "Until then, you will keep earning for your brothers." "I understand that..." "Before you say another fucking word... think of your family in this decision." "Excuse me?" "Did I stutter?" "I'll get word to Shotgun, tell him shit's on hold until I'm out." "Good answer." "[KNOCKS ON DOOR]" "[KNOCKS ON DOOR]" "Who is?" "It's Money." "Open the door." "Howie's been calling you all day." "What the fuck?" "Let's go!" "The fuck you mean he's been calling?" "He ain't been calling-Oh, fuck!" "Aah!" "Fuck!" "What you tell Kutcher?" "Does Herman know you're a rat?" "Fucking stupid motherfucker!" "Herman's the one who tried to kill you, you fuck!" "No, you both did, or his crew wouldn't have known I was there." "Go on and do what you gotta do." "Go ahead." "Go on and fucking do it." "Come on, fucking do it!" "I ain't a-I ain't no punk." "♪♪" "[PHONE RINGS]" "Yeah." "Anything?" "(COLE) Nothing." "It's almost four o'clock, too." "All right, I'll check in on Shotgun." "There's no need to tip Harlon off if we don't have to." " Okay, standing by." " Copy that." "[CELL BEEPS]" "Frank, it's Kutcher!" "Frank!" "Fuck!" "Get in that room now." "Fuck!" "[PHONE RINGS]" "Yeah." "Yeah, he left his cell here, but he's fucking gone." "Hang on a minute." "Hang on." "Hang on." "Somebody in this deal thinks Shotgun's still alive, man." "He texted them the coordinates at 11:00." "♪♪" "Still can't track the incoming calls to Shotgun's." "Must be off." "Fucking text better come through, or we're screwed." "(CHOPPER) Where's Shotgun?" "You tell me." "Went to pick him up, he's a fucking no-show!" "I'll call him." "Yeah, you do that." "I can't do babysitting." "Let's go." "Give me the key." "[PHONE RINGS]" "That's Shotgun's." "It's a different number. 714." "Look at the Russian serial numbers." "And the Glocks from Austria, not the U.S." "Totally untraceable." "Nice." "Shotgun's still not answering." "Pull your cell batteries, in case he got pinched." "You two, you ride in the back, since you're both validated." "Let's load up." "Well, our CI's dead." "Harlon's fucking MIA." "How was your day?" "All right, so what do you wanna do, hit the Indian casinos or what, you got a plan B?" "Because ATF ain't heard shit either." "A different cell called our Cis, what, two hours ago?" "We located it in Moreno Valley, then it fucking disappeared too." "Cockroaches are making moves." "Horvath caught back-up." "He's right behind us." "What time is it now?" "Eight minutes to eleven." "Yo, we're in business!" "Yo!" "The original incoming cell just passed Palm Desert on the 10." "It's 10:54 now." "If we can just get the exact location, we can set up on them." "[CELL BEEPS]" "Here." "About five miles out." "[CELL BEEPS]" "Got it." "Let's go, we got the coordinates!" "Let's ride out!" "All right, load up!" "[THUNDER]" "It's half a mile up that way." "All right, turn in and stop." "Turn your cell back on, post up out here." "Text me if you see anything." "Will do." "Let me see your gun." "Keep driving." "What!" "What's wrong, Money?" "How many guns did you tell Shotgun you had total?" "Same as I told you!" "You lie to me again, I'll blow your fucking head off!" "How many?" "Two." "Two thousand AKs." "Shotgun, right before I met you, Shotgun said that if I said anything about the extra guns, he'd green-light me, Money." "You gotta believe me." "Where are they?" "Shotgun's dead, isn't he?" "Answer the fucking question." "Second storage unit, number 246." "Does Chopper or the others know?" "No." "Shotgun and I went out alone." "This is what you're gonna do." "You're gonna forget they're there... and you're gonna fucking vanish." "Re-enlist, I don't care what you do." "But if I ever hear your name again... there won't be anywhere you can hide." "Do you understand me?" "Do you understand?" "Yes." "Yes." "Jump." " But..." " Open the door and jump." "♪♪" "Where's Howie?" "Dropped him off strapped quarter mile back." "Watch our six." "Keep your eyes open." "(HERMAN) That's them." "Looking for Shotgun?" "I know it was only business." "Just pick a better shooter next time." "Orale." "You should'a seen me crack the whip on those fools." "What you don't know is you made a deal with a rat." "He was gonna throw you under the bus with me." "Has that been taken care of?" "And the youngster who stashed the extra guns." "Don't worry, I know where they're hidden." "I figure, we make everyone happy with this deal... then you and I split the rest." "I'm down with that." "(CARTEL MAN) Orale." "Tienes todas las armas?" "Simón." "AJ, carga los cohetes." "Chopper, move the truck around." "You got the money?" "Un millón cinco." "All right." "(AGENTS) Get down!" "Get down!" "Shoot, shoot, shoot!" "[GUN SHOTS]" "Fuck, homie!" "The Flaca's dog!" "Hands on your back!" "Don't move!" "[GUN SHOTS]" "[ALL SHOUTING]" "Drop the weapon!" "He's got a gun!" "Look away look away!" "Hands behind your back." "[HANDCUFFS]" "♪♪" "We're officially validating you." "Means you'll do the rest of your new life term here in the SHU- unless you wanna play ball." " Got nothing to play." " Come on, Harlon." "Don't let your pride get in the way." "You don't owe these people..." " Save the speech." " We're done here." "What happens when we put you in Death Row with all the low-lifes for murdering Shotgun?" "Cause when it happens, and it will... whatever offer me and my guys are willing to make goes up in smoke." "That all you got?" "Bluffs?" "I already pleaded guilty to the guns." "Let me do my time like a man." "You see, that's what I don't get." "I've been around long enough to know when a con's making moves simply to survive or when it's that rare breed... the one that relishes in the power." "But that's not you." "Not by a long shot." "Why you throwing your whole life away?" "Look, I don't know what they're holding over you... but I can offer you something better." "Something real." "No bluffs, no BS." "You give me The Beast... and everyone involved... and you walk." "I mean it." "No protective custody, no reduced sentence." "Out." "Back in the free world." "Back with Katherine and Joshua." "Nothing out there is free." "Especially for a rat with a target on his back." "You know, Harlon, when I walk outta here... the deal walks with me, man." "Have a nice trip." "All right." "Good luck in here." "[SIGH]" "♪♪" "[WATER RUNNING]" "Come on, Money." "Easy." "Right there." "(THE BEAST) Now that we're looking eye to eye... you're gonna answer something." "Shotgun's body was discovered around five o'clock which means there's no way he could've tipped off the cops with the location since Herman didn't send you the coordinates until an hour before the meet." "So explain to me how three different agencies had time to set up and take everyone down." "I gave you a gift... and you spit in my face." "How does it feel to be the walking dead?" "No different than the last 10 years." "Oh, we'll see about that... when your old lady and kid are lying in blood and you get to live with knowing you're the cause." "Get this lame away from me!" "Cuff up, Money." "Cuff up, Money." "Okay, Money." "Okay!" "All right, easy!" "Easy." "Drop your radio." "Easy." "Easy, Money." "Slowly." "What the fuck, Money?" "You knew they'd put you back here." "That's why you lead the cops to the bust... to get to me." "Well played." "Let's get down, Wood." "Nobody's touching my family." "We're gonna get a few things straight here." "I'm already doing life... so I could give a shit about additional time." "But I'm not sitting on Death Row waiting to be put down like some animal." "So you write it up that he attacked me with the blade first." "In return, your arrangement with us stands... including the monthly deposits into your account." "Reason I can guarantee these terms is..." "I'm running the show now." "Say it." "You're running the show." "[CELL BEEPS]" "Pop the battery and break the SIM card." "You gotta be shitting me." "I still don't get this guy." "But I fucking like him." "Got some mail, Money." "Thanks." "(JOSHUA) Mum told me you've gotten life without parole now." "I don't think I'll ever understand why any of this has happened but I wanted you to know that I've accepted reality which is why I will do what you've asked me in your letter." "I'm moving on with my life, Dad." "I will learn from your mistakes... and I will always be mum's protector." "But most importantly..." "I want you to know... that I've forgiven you." "Your son, Josh." "♪♪"
