01x07 - Along Came a Spider

[bunniefuu]

MAN: Previously on "Mayor of Kingstown".

- Oh sh*t.
- [SIREN BLARING]

GUARD: We will fire on you.

They will k*ll him if they
get a chance and you know it.

Let's move him to the women's prison.

How are things with Mr. Michael?

He won't take my calls.

Milo wants to try something
a little bit different.

He wants you to do something
and you won't do it.

He's gonna do this to
me again if you don't.

No, he's not gonna do this again.

Your boss sets you up with
judges and congressmen.

You got plenty to tell.

Busy girl.

MILO: I will skin her alive, Mike.

If you can find her.

Hand the phone back to Candace.

Show him our little secret.

He put a locator in you?

MILO: I already found her, Mike.

Hey, where's my f*cking pat down?

Ooh, break me off
a f*cking piece of that.

I need searching, daddy.

All right, ladies,
you're in classroom D A,

let's find our way.

I know my way, baby.

I'm sure you do.

What genius in
administration sent you here?

It's for my safety.

I had an incident at the men's prison.

You're no safer here.

The female inmates are
just like the male inmates.

They think the same
and they act the same.

And they will use you
in exactly the same way.

I'm aware.

Stand in the back of the classroom,

and stop making eye contact with them.

[PRISONER CHATTER]

Eyes will be on me, or you
will be removed from the class.

Understood?

I think today, maybe we'll
talk about human evolution.

Or the lack of it.

To think about the evolution of man,

it's always a good idea to
remember that we're all animals.

And the rules which govern
the lives of lions, of wolves,

of our closest relatives, the primates,

are no different than
the rules which govern our lives.

We are in constant
competition with each other,

competition to breed, to eat,

to seek water and shelter.

Only man cannot survive without a tribe.

Empathy exists to ensure
the survival of our offspring.

Morality, whatever that may mean,

exists to govern the behavior
of the members within the tribe

in hopes that the tribe
does not destroy itself.

But now, all these tribes
live close together,

and we must find a way

to see all humankind as one species,

not as a collection of tribes.

Our survival depends upon this.

The age of competition is ended.

The age of cooperation is here.

If we do not find a way to cooperate,

to extend that empathy to all humankind,

then we will be the axe
that chops our own roots.

We will be the arbiters
of our own extinction.

If they can get through.

They do the same sh*t
at the men's prison.

They're gonna cry,

you every sob story.

And then, when you pass by their cell,

they'll give you a peep show.

Then you're gonna get a phone
call from your supervisor

saying that they've
been getting complaints

that you're watching the inmates
when they change their clothes.

And there's just enough
assholes in uniforms

who are watching 'em change,

and slipping girls in the supply closet,

there's guys in uniform,

having relationships with inmates.

the library, and walking the track.

outside the wall. They
walk it looking for trash.

It's in the sunshine, there's
trees and flowers and fresh air.

And they get to walk and gossip

and forget they're in
prison for seven hours a day.
