No, Carney.

On my last shift I was
covering lunch breaks
for security. I think I saw something.
Yeah?
Looked like the CO working X-rays
let a female employee through
with contraband knowingly, sir.
That's a serious
accusation for a rookie.
I'm not 100%, sir, but
Then why bring it to me?
Not something I can abide.
You know, if you see
something, if you're 100%,
come to me.
But don't seek it out.
You do, the COs will see
that, smell it on you,
and they'll freeze you the fuck out.
You alienate your brothers and sisters,
might as well just ask me
to rubber stamp your resignation.

do you know why you are here?
The charges brought against you?
I fully understand the
charges, Your Honor.
[PUBLIC DEFENDER] May I approach, Judge?
Let your client answer.
I killed the man who murdered my son.
And I would do it a hundred
times over if I could.
Your client understands where she is
and what she has done, Counselor,
and exhibits no remorse.
How do you plead, Ms. Fletcher?
[ANNA] Guilty, Your Honor.
[JUDGE] Are you pleading
guilty by your own choice?
[ANNA] Yes, ma'am.
Has anyone threatened you
to make you plead guilty?
[ANNA] No, Your Honor.
[JUDGE] Has anyone made you any promises
in order for you to plead guilty?
[ANNA] No, Your Honor.
[MIKE] Anna Fletcher,
she's a client of mine.
Yeah.
I figured you'd be too
busy for house calls, Mike.
She wanted me to
grease the parole board,
keep her son's killer inside.
Ugh, even you can't do that.
Yeah, I told her so.
Look, she's not a criminal.
You know that, right?
Mike, she shot someone
six times in cold blood
in front of a busload of people.
She just pled guilty.
She's mourning.
You gotta put a statute of
limitations on grief. Huh?
You consider minimums, at least,
so she doesn't fricking die in prison?
No. M-One's got my hands
tied. It's life, no parole.
Well, come on. Amend the charges, then.
Second-degree manslaughter.
You can do that.
- I got too much on my plate
- Hey, you can do that
- if you fucking do it.
- to not pick

- Come on.
I gotta focus on what's
going on out there.
And so should you.
Yeah.

Farthest thing from my mind, brother.
Well, so, same again then,
what the fuck was that?
Well, if you hadn't blasted that Aryan
in the fucking toilet,
maybe this'd be over a little sooner.
No, that's fucking detective talk, Kyle.
That's fucking bullshit.
And that motherfucker was armed.
If you don't know if he's
armed, then he's fucking armed.
You get me?
When you're in the field,
and you got a sister in front of you
and a brother behind
you, and you make contact,
what do you do?
Two in the chest, one in the dome.
Yeah. That's a good answer.

Wasn't sure you'd come back.
Mm. Ah, I think you'll be
seeing a lot of me, Cal,
now that you're here.
That comforts.
Yeah.
Got a name for you.
Yeah. Me, too.
He give up anything?
The cops didn't get to him.
They just flushed him into
the wrong fucking 'hood.
- Which?
- Crips.
Everybody's watching
this like a ball game.
How?
They threw him off a
three-story building.
Shit. [CHUCKLES]
- Shit.
- Yeah.
You know what happens, Mike,
you fall from a height like that?
Shatter everything in your body, sure,
but you fucking bounce. Seen it.
Goddamn rag doll.
Yeah.
Well, the rag doll didn't roll,
so whoever called the order seems safe.
Yeah.
"Whoever."
Yeah.
You'll be back in gen pop tomorrow.
'Cause I complied?
'Cause you dealt, Cal. That's why.
You played it right.
How you gonna play it, Mike?
Now on, now I'm back?
I work with you, like we always did.
Look.
Gunner was a 'roided-out punk
too much heart and too little head
made questionable fucking moves.
Not who I would've picked,
Mike, I'd known your plan.
Yeah. I needed someone outside,
inside to even that shit out.
That was the plan.
You weren't on the list.
I'm here now.
And I need to know, if I
call, you're gonna pick up.
I ask a favor, you'll see it done.
For old times' sake?
[CHUCKLES]
Sure, Mike.
If that's the sugar you
need to swallow the load,
old fucking times' sake, yeah?
Goddamn.
We're one percent of
the prison population,
20% of the violence.
Not 'cause we want it,
'cause it's how it has to be.
It's how we fucking survive.
It's how you fucking survived.
Hmm.
I respect our history, Cal,
what you've done for me.
That does not go unnoticed.
So you call, I'll answer.
You ask, you'll fucking receive.
Yeah.
