GENE: All right, Chester.
- Let me give you the rundown. I...
- Cheese.
- Excuse me?
- Cheese.
Cheese? You missed dinner.
No, that's what everyone calls me.
Oh, is it?
Let's get something straight.
I'm not one of your
thuggy-ass little friends.
Do you understand? I represent the law.
And in this house, I am the judge,
jury and executioner.
I'll call you by your legal name
or I'll call you dummy
or I'll call you dipshit or shitass.
Whatever the mood moves me
to call you, I'll call you that.
You got it?
You Native American?
- Yeah.
- I know a lot of Native Americans.
They're-they're good people.
They-they...
saved my life.
Cool, cool, cool.
Okay, daily chores.
These rotate on a weekly basis.
You're the new guy,
you clean the commode.
Do you know what the commode is?
Uh, bathroom?
Yes! Julio.
New guy knows what a commode is.
All right, you room upstairs
with the other shitasses.
Maybe you'll switch to room
down here if you don't age out.
We have a house meeting tomorrow night.
All residents are required to attend.
No cell phones.
If I see a cell phone, it's mine.
Is there a way
I can actually make a phone call?
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Yeah.
Phone time, : to : .
You're welcome to try
to make a phone call,
but you'll have to pry
the fucker out of James's hands.
If you can do that,
you can make a phone call.
(LAUGHS)
Right.
All right, get upstairs,
drop off your sh*t.
Let's knock out these chores, okay?
Chester?
- Okay.
- Good.
Uh...

Why does Julio get to leave?
Gene will let you go on pass

you can't go out and look for

Julio's been here a long-ass time,

James, what's happening?!

What did you guys do?
I feel like there's something amiss.

That's dope as f*ck.
Oh, thanks. I'm really bored.

Oh, you're gay, huh?
That's cool.
My cousin bi and sh*t.
I think you're supposed to say "q*eer."
Hey, man, I'm just trying
to let you know
that I don't got
a problem with no queers.
Gender identity and sexuality are
two different things.
Anyway...
how old's your son?
f*ck,
I want to say he's, like, four now?
I don't get to see him much
since I'm in here.
But luckily his grandma send me
pictures sometimes.
- Oh, they're pretty cute, huh?
- Yeah.
I stay with my grandma, too, sometimes.
You're blessed, bro.
Old ladies hold sh*t down.
Pretty much all my kids
with their grandmas.
"Kids," like plural?
"Plural"?
Nah, they're mostly Native.
How long have you been here?
They put me in here when I was like .
And I'll age out in a few weeks, so...
it's been a while.
What are you gonna do when you get out?
Well, I'm trying to get
a job before I age out.
That way I can stay out of trouble
and start helping
my kids' moms and them.
Good.
Anyways, how about you?
Why you in here?
I don't really know.
My cousin uncle's been
getting into some sh*t.
And he got arrested
and the cops took me here.
I asked them if I could stay
with my grandma, but...
they said I need to stay here
until they figure out
some stuff with my "legal guardians."
Damn.
Can't a Native live?
You said it, sib.
Tino.
My name's Tino.
Where'd you get "sib"?
It's...
it's short for "sibling," man.
Oh.
Word. Word.
(GENE SIGHS)
Yeah, can I help you?
Hey, um, I'm here to pick up Cheese.
Who?
Uh, Chester.
I'm-I'm his auntie.
(LAUGHS)
How old are you?
What's that matter?
You don't look old enough
to be Chester's auntie.
Indian ways. I got a niece
who's years old, just...
Oh, right, right, right, right.
Well, look, even if I did
believe you, he's in our custody
until the court says otherwise.
Well, he's pretty much been in
my care for the past two years.
And he ended up here, wow.
Good job.
Nice.
WILLIE JACK: Cheese.
- Yo, let's go.
- What are you guys doing here?
Get your sh*t, bro.
We're busting you out of here.
I don't think that's how that works.
Come on, man, Shawshank, sko!
- How would I even get out?
- Just parkour it, man.
- Hey, Jackie.
- What's up?
- What's... wh-where's Elora?
- WILLIE JACK: Doing her sh*t.
She's distracting the guards,
bro, let's go.
Again, I'm sorry.
There's nothing I can do.
Maybe this will help you
change your mind?
There's more where that came from, too.
Okay.
Well, I'm calling the cops.

We ain't got time for this sh*t.
GENE: Chester, you better
f*cking be up there!
sh*t, the house manager's coming back.
What are you still doing up there?
We got to go. Jump down.
- What? No.
- Man, I'll catch you.
- I got upper body strength, bro.
- No, I mean, it's illegal.
I know, all right, you guys
got to find another way.
Remember me, all right?
- What the f*ck was that?
- What the f*ck?
GENE: God...
ALL: Grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Peace.
All right, so now...
without further fuckery,
let's get into step five.
Yes?
- What is this?
- What is this? This is...
part of my recovery.
When I was a young, little
shitass like you guys,
about your age,
my life was in shambles.
I was a drunk, drug addict,
I was an abuser, I was a thief.
There wasn't anything
I didn't smoke or snort
or drink or f*ck even.
And then I hit a wall, I hit my bottom.
About three days into a bad bender,
I finally made my way back home,
walk into my house, and, uh...
in my bedroom I found my wife,
two midgets...
and a DJ.
AM radio DJ.
Pretty popular...
I didn't, I didn't like him
even before he f*cked my wife,
but it doesn't matter.
I just lost my mind.
I literally lost my mind.
And I chased those midgets
out of my house.
Naked midgets.
Running out into the street.
And I went back in
and I was gonna k*ll that DJ.
I was gonna k*ll him with my own hands.
But, but he was... big.
He just kicked my ass.
I think he's still with my wife.
It doesn't matter.
Threw me out of my own house,
and I just...
wandered into the woods.
But that's where I met
the Lakota medicine man.
Wakan Mani.
He picked me up by the scruff.
Showed me the ways.
Changed my life.
Very grateful.
I'm a better man now.
I'm even kind of friendly
with one of the midgets.
These things can happen
when you're sober.
Yeah, so that's my story.
Why don't you start?
Take this and,
uh, read step five and...
give us a few words from your heart.
"Step five.
"Admitting our wrongs to a higher power
and to those around us."
Well, I ain't done sh*t wrong
since last week,
so I'm good to go, bro.
And with that, I'll pass.
Pass.
Come on, James...
a little something, nothing?
Pass.
(SIGHS)
- Um, I'll-I'll pass.
- No.
You're the new guy, just say
a few words about your week.
I was arrested for no reason.
Um...
I was sent
to a poorly funded group home.
There's that.
And I really hate it here.
Okay, well...
thanks for your honesty.
See that, James?
Bare minimum.
That was the bare minimum.
I have something to say.
Tino.
Hmm?
What's wrong with your bicho?
f*ck you just call me?
Every time I walk in the bathroom,
there's nothing but pee everywhere.
What, you have no aim?
Oh, maybe you got nothing
down there, so it just sprays
all over the floor,
the seat, the f*cking roof.
- (LAUGHS)
- You're a f*cking snitch, Julio.
All right, calm down.
- Oh, I'm a snitch?
- Yeah.
I walk in the bathroom
wearing my socks,
guess what I'm stepping in.
Your f*cking pee! - All
right, we get it, we get it.
Once again,
everyone has failed to engage
with the step.
Except for Chester.
Little bit.
Doesn't matter.
I'm just happy you're all
walking this path with me.
And, um...
f*ck it.
Let's call it.
f*cking love you, girl.
You gonna be the mother
of my child someday.
You're the stars in the sky.
You're my moon, you're the sun.
Yeah, you're all of those.
Hey, James.
Can I use the phone
before chores start?
I just, I just need
to make a quick call.
Real quick, it'll only be a minute.
I know. I know.
I'll ride with you wherever.
This'll only make us stronger, baby.
Um... James, seriously.
- I just need to check in.
- It's nothing, baby.
Just some dude who's about
to get his ass b*at
if he don't step back and let
me talk to the love of my life.
You're my queen...
(SIGHS) f*cking James.
- sh*t.
- Hell yeah.
- TINO: Yep.
- You trying to call your girl, too?
No, my-my grandma.
I just want to tell her I'm okay.
I don't want her to worry.
JAMES: You're this world
and you're everything
out of this world.
sh*t.
JAMES: My love for you is
as deep as the Grand Canyon.
Don't let that f*cking Gene
see you with this.
And don't look
at my recently deleted photos.
Don't look at any of my photos.
Make sure you use it tonight
after Gene goes to sleep.
(SNORING)
- But he is asleep.
- I said tonight.
JAMES: When I get out
of here, let's get away.
Okay.
(DIALING)
(LINE RINGING)
IRENE: Hello.
Grandma?
Um...
it's Cheese.
Who?
Cheese, um...
we met at IHS.
I've been coming over
to your house every week.
(LAUGHING)
I'm pulling your leg, cvpon.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
I just... I'm sorry, I just,
I just thought that maybe, maybe you...
You thought I finally lost my marbles?
Still sharp as a tack, my boy.
Where have you been?
I miss you.
You need to come by for sofkee.
Um, I miss you, too.
Um, I've just, I've been helping
Uncle Charlie with some stuff.
And, um,
I've been trying to come over.
Um...
hopefully soon.
Well, I'm so happy you called.
It's, it's good to hear
your voice, cvpon.
Don't get too busy
for the people
who care about you, okay?
I won't.
I won't.
And you tell me if you need
anything at all, Grandson.
Sending you all my love.
Um, love you, too, Grandma.
- Good night.
- Night.
(PHONE CLOSES)
Okay, Jedthrow Brown, let's go.
Time to go.
- Sorry.
- Man, f*ck.
- Let's get going.
- f*ck.
- Sorry, son.
- g*dd*mn!
- Can I put some clothes on? sh*t.
- Yes.
God, what, you want to help?
You want to help me put
on my f*cking chonies?
f*cking diddler.
Okay, son, just put
your clothes on, cooperate.
- Don't f*cking "son" me.
- I...
You're the worst one of them all.
What kind of dude hangs out
with underage boys
all day and night?
"Billie Jean" -ass dude, K-PAX,
House of Cards looking ass, God.
f*cking cold in here.
Look, my nipples are cold.
Look! Look!
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Sick! ACAD! All cops are diddlers!
Man, kiss my ass, m*therf*cker!
(SIGHS) All right, uh...
Lot of excitement, lot of drama.
I'm a little triggered. Anybody?
You want to get a snack or something?
Group hug?
Quick point, though...
Not all cops are diddlers.
I'm not saying they're not,
you know, morally dubious.
But, you know, not all of them are...
Let's... let's have a snack.
Let's go downstairs, come on.
Man, Jed had the right idea
with these pigs.
You swing on 'em,
they'll k*ll your ass.
So you at least got to talk sh*t.
JULIO: You got to do that.
When they arrest me,
I'm gonna tell them,
"Ask your mother
if she misses these nuts."
- (LAUGHS)
- f*cking hate these guys.
I try to stay on their good side.
Maybe they'll think
I didn't do anything wrong.
Bullshit! That's being a coward, bro.
No, seriously, a while back,
my friends and I,
we stole a chip truck.
We stole it
right in front of a gas station.
- And we sold it to some meth heads.
- BOTH: Damn!
That's hard, though.
Then I convinced the
cop that was investigating us
to take me on a ride-along.
I told him it was a school project.
Hell no.
Keep your friends close
and your enemies closer.
Like Don Corleone in these streets.
Yeah, except, uh,
I don't have any kids
and I'm more like a Tom Hagen.
Hmm, well, I guess I'm the Don.
I just hope all my kids
don't turn out to be Fredos.
I knew you for two years.
You never told me you had kids.
Yeah, well, we don't talk much.
That's why I'm always asking
you to hook me up at your job.
A Native trying to change his ways.
I can't have my kids
growing up like I did.
I'm sorry, man.
I always thought
you were just f*cking with me.
There's so many people
that come and go here,
sometimes I think it's better
to just be alone.
You get to know somebody, and
they go get arrested or something,
then you never see them again.
I think it's okay
to guard your feelings
with barriers, Julio, but I hope
that one day you can have
a healthy relationship
with people
without fear of losing them.
Why the f*ck you talk like that?
Talk like what?
Like you reading from
a white girl's Instagram.
Oh, he q*eer.
I had a friend. Um,
Daniel. He was like a...
he was like my hero.
But, uh, then he d*ed.
Well, he, uh, he ended his own life.
And I just...
I read about some reasons
why he might've did it. And, um,
it's just hard for people.
I just thought that maybe if I...
treated others
the way they wanted to be treated,
they would do the same.
Eventually.
I'm sorry about your homie, bro.
It's hard out here for people.
I get it.
You're a good man, Cheese.
GENE: Lights out, shitasses!
(SCOFFS)
- Hey, Tino.
- What's up?
There's an opening at my job.
I'll talk to my boss for you.

Ah... fine.
Just don't make it too personal.
All right.

f*cking shitass, quit now.
Thank you.
Hey, you mind if I show little homie
some love before you take him to prison?
- Be quick.
- Hey.
Come see me at Red Lobster
