" I heard you had him sedated." " You what?" "Dr. Nathan put him on 4 milligrams of lorazepam." "He was violent." "Since when is it prison policy to drug inmates?" "What the fuck difference does it make?" "Your boys had already beaten him senseless." "The question is, who set him on fire?" "Maybe the Latinos did it, to get Dino for killing sanchez."

"Now, Kareem Said says God knows what to you, the clouds have parted, the sun is shining." "Do you realize how this damages my credibility with the inmates?" "So then what?" "I shouldn't let him get married for the sake of your credibility?" " That's right." " McManus, how often does a guy like Said come to see us to ask for a favour?" " Oh, I get it." "So now he owes you." " Yeah." "He's gonna help contain the Ortolani situation, he's gonna help slow down the drugs." "Which means nothing." "Why didn't you tell me that Jefferson Keane's girlfriend was pregnant?" "Because I didn't know." "He didn't tell me that." "So much for your credibility." "Man, this is some bullshit." "Jefferson, the warden was very specific about how this is going to work." "So what's this proxy shit?" "While you'll be here, and your fiancée will be at your local Baptist church, you'll both be exchanging vows at the same time and each of you will have someone standing in for the other person." "Come on, Father, don't this seem fucked up to you?" "Do you, Jefferson Keane, take Mavis Woodson to be your wife?" "I do." "Do you, Mavis Woodson, take Jefferson Keane to be your husband?" "Yes."

"Shit, it don't get much worse than this." "Yo, man, got a letter from Mavis." "It's the will of Allah, brother." "What are you doing tonight?" "Well, I was thinking maybe you'd come over to my house for dinner." "So you sleep here at the prison sometimes?" "Believe me, I don't wanna." "I've been doing double shifts and I live two hours away, so by the time I get home I gotta turn around and come back." "So move closer." "If I could afford to, I wouldn't do double shifts." "Appreciate it, Leo." "I can't." "Too much work to do, right?" "You can take a break from saving the world." "Even Jesus had supper." "Yeah, and right afterwards he was betrayed and crucified." "I'll try not to take that personally." "You got a daughter, if I remember." "How does she feel about you being gone for days on end?" "Please." "We live with my mother." "Between the two of them" "I get the crap beat out of me every time I walk through the door." " Come on, get your coat." " I can't." "I have a date." " A date?" " Yep." "Is that so hard to believe?" "Frankly, yes." "I got a dick like every other guy." "You need to find a job closer to home." "What, I haven't looked?" "There are no jobs." "You think if the Chevy plant was hiring I would choose to come here and babysit these pisspots?" "I have no choice." "Just like these inmates." "Trapped." " McManus, get a wife." " I had a wife."

"I don't give a shit about shit like that." "Miguel, you'll probably be paroled in two years." "When you get out, you'll wanna be a father to your kid." "Is that right?" "Man, that's my father." "You know, and up in some cellblock somewhere is my grandfather, man, so don't be giving me none of this shit." "I get it." "You had a miserable childhood." "Tough." "But let me tell you something." "You're still responsible for bringing a new life into this world." "You are responsible." "The same way that I'm responsible for you, for your soul." "So get ready, Miguel AlvareZ, because I'm gonna be over your shoulder." "Hey, Ray, you wanted to know," "I just signed the papers transferring Miguel AlvareZ to Em City." "Miguel AlvareZ." "Another shining example of how well the penal system works." "A guy walks in the front door and he gets stabbed in the chest, not to mention the fact that his father and grandfather are both inmates here." "Yeah, I know." "You know, maybe I should talk to them both about Miguel." "The kid's about to become a father and he refuses to accept responsibility for it." "Well, the granddad," "Ricardo AlvareZ, is in solitary." "And having a conversation with the father, Eduardo," " it's gonna be tough." " Why?" "He's belligerent?" "He has no tongue." "Señor AlvareZ?" "I'm Ray Mukada, I'm the" "I know who you are." "I'd like to speak with you about your grandson, Miguel." "What about him?" "He's an inmate here now." "I heard." "Well, then, maybe you also heard that he's about to become a father." "His girlfriend, who he was arrested with, is at Parker Women's." " And?" " I'm trying to get Miguel to accept the responsibility for raising the child." "Maybe you can help me?" "Because I'm his grandfather?" "Padre," "I never even seen him." "You were a shitty father, your son was a shitty father." "Don't you think it's time we break the pattern?" "I was 1 8 when I was convicted." "Eduardo was a baby." "Next time I saw him, he was 1 8 and wearing the same prison uniform I was." "Then my son started mouthing off everybody here, making fun of people, making threats." "And he started poking around with a Haitian." "And one night" " One night, while Eduardo was sleeping, the Haitian cut his tongue out." "Yes, sir, I know." "I read the report." "So you found the Haitian and you cut his heart out." "Yeah." "So, what you're telling me is that you were being a good father to Eduardo when you carved up the Haitian." "Well, if somebody hurts your grandson you won't be able to do anything about it, will you?" "At least not that way." "All I'm asking you is to talk to the boy, not for you, not for him, but for the baby that's about to be born." "Your great-grandchild." "What the fuck?" "Come here." "Who the fuck are you?" "Come here!" "Okay," "I'm here." "Now what?" "You know who I am, don't you?" "Yeah." "Sex is a mindfuck." "A wad of jizz hits an egg and..." "you're connected to all these people." "These strangers, who maybe got the same eyes as you the same sort of nose." "Or maybe they passed you some cell that makes you drink or do drugs, even if you don't wanna." "Even if it's killing you." "These gene things are like the shackles they put on us here, the chains to keep us from moving freely." "You gotta be Houdini to get out of them." "You gotta be fucking Houdini." "Ortolani committed suicide." "Suicide?" "How can he be tied down with restraints and set himself on fire?" " That's impossible." " Even so, he committed suicide." " What makes you say that?" " God told me." "God told you?" "God comes to visit me every once in a while." "Actually, he comes more often than I'd like, but he's God." "What can I say?" "That I'm busy, that I'm in the shower?" "He knows." "We talking about a burning bush here?" "No." "It's more like a strobe." "A little too flashy, a little cheesy for my taste." "And God told you Ortolani committed suicide?" "Well, that the kid wanted to die, and consciously or un, he set up the circumstances where he'd be killed." "God happen to tell you who did it?" " No." " I didn't think so." "But he told me to tell you to tell Nino Schibetta not to seek revenge." "Why didn't you tell Schibetta?" "Just because I talk to God doesn't mean I'm crazy." "How's your mother?" "Not good, Papa, not good at all." "Doctor says she ain't got long." "Who is this doctor?" "This specialist." "The best." " Is he Jewish?" " I don't know."

"It's hard enough her being this ill without you being able to" "Say goodbye?" "What do you want from me?" "Your continued patience." "You're gonna find out who killed Dino?" " Yes." " And you're gonna bring him to justice." " Now you're laughing at me." " As I said, I'm a cynical bastard." " No one wants a riot." " True." "I would like to see my wife." "Then we have a deal." "No." "Look, I know you're supposed to be my sponsor and all that shit, show me the ropes, but I don't need any help." "All right?" " O'Reily." "That's Irish, right?" " Yeah, you got a problem with that?" " I run the Aryan Brotherhood." " Yeah, you're doing a hell of a job."

"Thank you for coming." "Sit." "Dino Ortolani's death has upset me very deeply." "I am obviously hoping to learn who killed him, especially in such a hideous fashion." "Does he gotta be in here?" "Joey." "I know there was bad blood between you and Dino." " I didn't burn him." " I'm not accusing." "I'm extending my hand." "Dino is dead." "Nothing can change that." "But if you could see a way to help us find his murderer," "I would show you my appreciation, my forgiveness for your past indiscretions." "Honestly, I don't know who offed Dino." "And with no disrespect, I can't say I'm unhappy about it." "But your friendship would mean a lot to me." "So if I hear anything, I'll come to you first." "That's all I ask." "He knows." "Schibetta ain't gonna rest till he knows who done it." "You wanna be around when he finds out you were involved?" " We gotta give him Johnny Post." " Fuck that." "We give him Post, it all goes away." "Maybe you micks work like that, but I would never rat on a brother." " What do you say we do, huh?" " Chill." "Till it fades." "Sicilians don't forget."

"So here's what we got on Dino Ortolani's murder, Ryan." "Jefferson Keane and his crew did it." "Really?" "Yeah." "I don't know which one actually lit the match yet, but makes sense." "I mean, Ortolani put Keane's brother in icu." "That kind of thing don't go unpunished around here." "What has me fucked up is, who arranged for the guy who did the deed to get in the hole?" "I mean, that would have to be a pretty well-connected son of a bitch." "I mean, connected to two officers on duty." "Well, the niggers could've just paid a hack to let them in." "No." "An inmate arranged it all." " And now I know who that inmate is." " You do?" "Sure." "Same guy connected enough to get moved from Gen Pop into Emerald City." "Same guy Ortolani shot in the chest." "You." "Me?" "You're kidding me, right?" "Eventually, I'm gonna get the little fuck who killed Ortolani and he's gonna start singing." "And the only name that fucking nigger is gonna rap is the skinny-ass white boy's." "My advice to you is to give him up now or shut him up soon." "Thanks for stopping by."
