01x07 - New Blood

[bunniefuu]

[tense music playing]

[narrator] With the program

in its final days,

the sheriff has challenged the pod

to vote out anyone

who has been undermining

the success of the program.

Gentlemen, that's, uh, that ends the vote.

I'm gonna go ahead and say thank you.

[officer] Straighten out!

I was, like, one of the main ones

who was doing ill*gal stuff in here.

I was like, "Man,

either I'm gonna get told on

or I'm gonna like get voted out."

You know what I mean?

[Ty] Get the f*ck

[Eastside] Jail helps you

look at your whole life.

So now I wouldn't say I'm like

like, just gonna listen to somebody else.

I'm just gonna take into consideration

on what other people are saying

and evaluate myself,

uh

and some of the stuff I'm doing.

You hit a spot in your life

to where you don't even want

negative stuff in your life anymore.

And I feel like

I've hit that spot this time.

[narrator] Knowing that

he was the instigator,

Eastside feels a responsibility to the pod

to tell the deputies

that he will take the charges

for the wicks and the hooch.

[music increases, fades]

[Randy indistinct]

No. McAllister?

-[Ty] He's my celly.

-Where's he at?

He's asleep.

-What room? Okay.

[Ty] Going for the gold!

[poignant music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

I've been informed by one of the deputies

that there's an individual in the unit

that wants to take the charges,

take responsibility,

uh, for the actions in there.

Sign your copy right there.

He was a G with it. Came in here

and was like, "Yeah, it was mine."

When it comes to Eastside, it's just like,

if you get bopped, you get bopped.

But I do respect him

because he took his lick, you know.

All right, that's it.

They'll be talking to you in a little bit.

[peppy music playing]

[exhales]

I took the heat for it completely.

Come on, man. Hell no.

I knew what it was when I started it.

Comes with the game.

This is not a normal situation

where an individual comes forward

and takes responsibility

for the entire unit,

for the entire pod. It's really unusual.

To have them do that,

take that responsibility,

it's very encouraging

that this could work,

that this could go beyond

just an experiment, so to speak.

Well, we're finna not be cellies no more.

[Eastside] Nope.

You're gonna miss me, huh?

Don't flatter yourself.

He's gonna miss me.

[Eastside] The reset got me

to open my eyes a little bit.

Me and Ty in the same room

was just gonna keep getting us in trouble.

You know what I mean?

So I moved in with Preston.

You gonna be straight.

You know, I'll make sure of it.

You ain't gotta worry about it.

That's a good thing.

Preston's more, like,

calm and collected and chill.

You know, he's, you know,

he's not like my type of person,

but he's a cool guy.

It's nothing against him, you know?

[Eastside] Ty's a good kid,

but he looked up to me

and all the criminal stuff I was doing.

And I didn't want to show him that

no more. You know what I mean?

I needed to set a better example.

Teach him, like, "You can be positive

from you doing time too, you know."

[inmate] Now whenever

they put you on restriction,

what does that mean for you?

[Eastside] Um, no commissary,

no phone calls,

and no kiosk.

I think that's about it.

-That's crazy.

-Yeah.

How long are they going to do

your restriction?

I don't know.

I'm not going to remove him from the unit

because he's taken ownership.

He'll be held accountable.

He'll be disciplined.

Take away some of the phone usage,

uh, commissary.

Uh, things like that.

I think a week of discipline

for him is appropriate.

And I'm hoping that by leaving him there,

that his acceptance of responsibility

will resonate with

the other detainees in that unit.

What I'm doing is rewarding

the positive actions that they're taking,

and I'm telling the staff

that I'm canceling the vote.

[music increases]

[music fades]

N-38!

N-38!

[funky music playing]

[inmate] Oh, that's a long way off.

[Crooks] B or G?

[indistinct chatter]

[inmate 2] I-26!

I-26!

Ain't losing my g*dd*mn dough.

f*ck that.

sh*t, I'm keeping my g*dd*mn dough.

The sheriff said

that we ain't gotta vote nobody out,

which has given us

a little leeway to ourselves as men.

You know,

that feels good to the soul, man.

I-17!

Eastside, taking the rap for this sh*t.

I respect him for doing that.

The board is getting too deep around here.

[inmate 2] Play it, sir.

N-32!

[inmate 3 exclaims]

-g*dd*mn, son!

-[Big Mel] What's that?

I called it!

Bingo! Bingo!

[laughing and chattering]

[inmate] Oh!

[whimsical music playing]

[Ty] Oh f*ck. AJ's back!

[Eastside] Oh! sh*t! Yo!

That's my m*therf*cking homeboy

right there!

Yeah! Yo, what's up, boy?

[indistinct chatter]

[narrator] After a week

in solitary confinement,

AJ returns to H unit

for the final stretch of the program.

They put me on suicide watch

and threw me in the hole.

[indistinct chatter]

It felt like I was returning back home

after being gone a long time.

Uh, the welcome committee was pretty nice.

Yeah, it feels good to be back, man.

It really does.

[Eastside] What's up, boy!

[AJ] What's up, boy.

[music ends]

[Don Don] Man, how was the hole?

[AJ] Man, it f*cking sucks.

[Don Don] Good to see you back.

[AJ] Good to be back.

[Don Don] I bet.

[ambient music playing]

[AJ] It's nasty in the hole too.

You have a bunk, but you don't have

a mattress when you're on suicide watch.

And they give you one blanket.

You have no mat to sleep on.

I guess so you don't, like, I don't know,

so you don't choke yourself out.

You can't hurt yourself with it.

You know what I mean?

Here is freaking heaven

compared to the hole.

Yeah, I'm very happy to be back.

I was thinking about this unit

the whole time I was there.

And I was worried that

they weren't gonna bring me back here.

I was worried they were gonna keep me

on suicide watch for so long

and then somebody else was gonna

get moved in and my spot would be taken.

In my opinion, this is the best unit

in the whole jail right now, like

I feel like the guys in here have my back.

They're rocking with me.

-I'm glad you're back though, bro.

-[AJ] Me too.

Glad to have you back

in this m*therf*cker.

[indistinct chatter]

Everything's came together now.

We got it.

[music fades]

[rock music playing]

[narrator] With only ten days left

in the program

and the unit feeling settled,

the sheriff is ready to reveal

a final freedom for the unit.

Extra visitation time.

[inmate] Guard! Hey!

So visitation in this facility

normally is once every two weeks.

I've already increased the phone calls.

And now I'm gonna increase the visitation.

[indistinct chatter]

And there's positive

and negatives in that.

We know it's so important

to have those personal interactions

with family members.

It encourages you

while you're in the facility.

It also keeps a connection

with the family.

They giving us two visits, three visits.

Like, your family can come twice a week.

But there's a negative in it too. Uh

Maybe people don't come visit.

Uh, or you schedule a visit,

and they don't show up.

Uh, so that can have a negative impact.

I think that there's a greater chance

for a positive interaction.

And so I think

it's important to be able to do this,

important to give them that opportunity.

[music ends]

"Each person will be allowed

two visits per week."

"These visits per usual will need

to be scheduled per normal protocols."

"Please use this increased time

to reconnect with your loved ones

on the outside."

Better than getting one a week, you know.

You know what I'm saying?

-[Parkinson] Every week we get two visits.

-[K3] Yeah.

Every week, we get two visits.

Every week, we get two visits.

Any day?

[Parkinson] Any day.

Except for Saturday and Sunday.

Oh, they calling

[Parkinson] Me! Me!

The other h*? We finna yeah.

b*tch, I need you.

I can't say they don't care.

-[both exclaiming]

-[upbeat music playing]

We got two visitations a week?

Man, I'm too excited. Man, I'm finna have

m*therf*ckers left and right.

Wooda-wooda-boo come,

finna have wooda-wooda-woo come,

and then next week, you come,

and then you come, and then you come

Yeah, I'm too excited.

[music fades]

[indistinct chatter]

[inmate] Where are my visits?

Where are my visits?

[inmate 2] Let's go Arkansas.

[Crooks] My sister's the only person

that I really have.

Being able to talk to my family,

you know, on a regular basis?

That's what helps me.

So it's like without having that,

it'd be really easy

to go back into negativity.

And then be mad at the world,

mad at everything

'cause we're stuck in this cell

and can't do nothing.

[pensive music playing]

You around the same peoples

everyday up in here.

Only times you can get close to someone

on the outside is on the phone.

But when you see 'em,

it make things better for you.

I mean, you're less stressful.

You're less worried.

[indistinct chatter]

[music fades]

It's kinda good we've got these people

looking out for us and doing these things.

-Hell yeah, it's pretty cool.

-It's a blessing.

Two visits a week, man, is really cool.

Yeah, I like it, man.

I can correspond with my family more.

See what's going on out there.

[Crooks] I hope I go up there and visit.

My sister said Monday or Tuesday.

I'll find out later on today.

I got a good family.

With everybody, it never felt like

they were really my family

except for my little sister.

She's a blessing.

But, I mean, besides that? Nah.

I never felt no connection

except for methamphetamine.

I be scheduling me a visit for this week.

I talked to the mother of my child.

My son. They're finna come up here.

I haven't seen my child

come to visit me in a place like this.

And more or less, the mother of my child.

How him and his mom, you know,

getting along without me

being there and sh*t.

-You know?

-Inserting yourself back into his life?

Yeah, it's been a few years.

Yeah, man. Ready see my little man.

I gotta let a lot of my pride sh*t go,

you know what I'm saying?

Because I don't like

to deal with his mother.

Me and her wasn't really

doing together or corresponding

and kind of affected him a little bit.

You know? There's a lot of sh*t

I gotta put to the f*cking side,

and deal with her in certain situations,

you know what I'm saying?

Because this is the mother of my child.

So I'm working on really trying.

I am worried they're not gonna be able

to make it, but I hope they do.

That's really cool. I hope it works out.

I hope you go visit and I see you there.

That's good. I'm glad, man.

-[Tiny] No doubt.

-That's what's up.

[slow hip-hop music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[Parkinson] Hell yeah. See the fam, right?

My dad, my brother, my sister, man.

I ain't seen 'em so long.

It's finna be good.

Gonna get a little visit,

get a little talk.

What up, boy?

[Parkinson] Whoo! There's my boy.

And we get there, right there.

-What's up?

-My boy, brah. I miss you, bro.

I feel like this program

is really important,

not only for us,

but for the family out there.

[CJ] Hey, Poppa!

I love you!

[CJ exclaiming]

-[visitor] Hey, baby. I love you.

-I love you.

You wanna come right here?

This m*therf*cker boom. He's so big.

[narrator] Even though

the accessibility is there,

it doesn't guarantee

that everyone will get a visit.

My mom got in touch with me recently.

Like, she's, like, back in my life.

You know, but

It's not like a real bond,

like a mother-son bond.

You know what I'm saying?

She said she was

supposed to come visit me,

and she said she's been busy.

So I don't know.

It do hurt because it's like,

"You should come see me. I'm in jail."

"I've been in here for so and so."

But I really just stop asking.

[music fades]

[melancholy music playing]

I've always looked out for my brother,

since we were little kids.

Before he came to jail,

he was actually reaching out to me

to try to find a rehab for him.

He's so institutionalized,

and he was so far out.

He wanted to go to rehab,

and I just don't think that he really knew

or could slow down to stop

and try to research it.

I know this. I can't, like,

get high anytime at all and be okay.

It's not gonna happen.

I can't like, "We'll just get high

for the weekend." That don't work.

"We'll just do a little bit."

No, I won't just do a little bit.

I'll do a whole lot.

[Juanita] Yeah, I know.

I've been drilling my kids

about drugs every day.

Like every day. I'm like,

"Boo, you start doing drugs, that's it."

I'm definitely ready to go to rehab.

It took me to sober up.

I actually, truthfully,

before I got arrested, I kept begging.

I was begging. I'd call my sister and say,

"Please find a rehab out of state

for me to go to."

Because I had already

made that choice, that decision.

I didn't have the strength

to stop myself in the end,

but now that I've got here,

stopped, and cleared my head,

I'm not gonna let anything stop me.

Basically what I'm trying to do is, like,

let go of that other stuff

and grab a hold of helping people.

-And just speaking on that.

-Yeah, make that your passion.

'Cause I like it. I like to help people.

I legitimately do.

This program has helped him out

so much. Tremendously.

These inmates, they need stuff like that.

And in prisons, they really do.

Because they're eventually gonna get out,

and we need this type

of rehabilitation or encouragement.

They're just gonna go right back in, so

Uh

Yeah, it's great.

This has helped him out a lot.

This time I can really see a difference,

so I'm really fighting for him.

-Just choose

-Yeah, you can just send them.

-All right. Love you. Talk to you later.

-All right, love you.

[Crooks] I miss my sister.

I'm really thankful

about the extra visitation.

There's no way I'd see her without that.

[Randy] So y'all on y'all way up here?

So, uh

[woman on phone] I'm picking her up now.

Had to get through traffic.

[Randy] So Mama ain't coming?

[woman] I can't do nothing!

All right, I might as well go in my room

and shut the door

and don't talk to nobody.

[woman] Oh boy.

[Randy] 'Cause I been looking

at three months since I seen Mama.

[woman] I know.

[Randy] I really wanna see my mom.

I lost my older brother

March the 25th of last year.

And my mom's so worried about me.

A lot of folks in here

don't really understand,

but it's very important

to have a visit, to see they face.

Because you'll never know

when you won't see they face no more.

[music fades]

Well

Ugh.

[funky percussive music playing]

[Higgins] So this is near

the end of the program.

They have one last challenge.

And I think it's probably

gonna be the biggest challenge.

-Chief.

-[Hendricks] Sheriff. How are you, sir?

All right, doing good.

We're gonna transition some people in,

but this is the reality

of a detention facility.

You're gonna have people

coming in and out.

And so new people coming in,

they will not have had the experience

to this new, you know, the doors open

and this new freedom

and responsibility for community.

And if we're gonna think

about if this works,

how do we transition

to other units in this facility?

[pensive music playing]

I know we need to do it.

There's no doubt

we gotta put some people in there.

But But, uh

my concern is

when they come in,

what's the environment going to be?

Are they gonna adjust?

So I don't know

what their attitude's gonna be coming in.

I could have that person say,

"I don't care about y'all, anything else."

"I'mma do what I want to do

and create problems."

You know, I'm thinking that

the new people going in there

are gonna see right away

that it's an environment

that's maybe more to their liking.

And so there's a plus there

for them to go ahead

and act right when they get there.

What are our people gonna do?

The people that are in there now?

How are they gonna adjust

to, uh, some people coming in.

It's a transient population,

and they know

that they're gonna have to get used to

dealing with other people,

other personalities,

and those kinds of things.

And so it doesn't change

as far as that goes.

Most of these guys

have been in jails before.

And so they understand

the dynamic of, you know,

there's gonna be people

emptying out all the time

and people coming back in all the time.

-We need to monitor this closely.

-Will do, sir.

Because there's gonna be

some adjustments that are gonna happen

with them coming in.

Let me know

if we're starting to see any problems.

-Ten-four.

-All right. Okay. Appreciate it, sir.

-You're welcome, sir.

-Thank you.

Hopefully, things'll go well.

It'll be interesting to see

how they respond.

But it will definitely give me an idea

of how do we move forward.

Is this a possibility

or, you know, just a dream?

[funky hip-hop music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[Crooks] I think that when you bring

new people in, it changes.

It makes it It messes it up

because now you got these new

personalities that you gotta deal with.

Because they're gonna be stuck

coming from behind this door

where they don't trust nothing, you know?

"I'm gonna get down if I can" way.

Everybody else here

is trying to look out for each other.

And it's gonna be

like a whole 'nother headache.

And that bothers me. I don't like that.

How they let y'all in, man?

[indistinct chatter]

Anytime a new person come in,

I'm on lookouts

but my mindset was like, "Man,

it could be some shaky m*therf*ckers."

"Hope nobody don't f*ck it up for us."

[indistinct chatter]

When new people come in,

things change, people change.

People react differently.

They talk differently.

I don't like it.

[narrator] The sheriff has asked

his deputies

to keep a closer

than usual eye on the unit

with the arrival of the new inmates.

Nah, this sh*t crazy.

I see a lot of dudes in here

who like like attention.

And as long as they stay out of my way,

I'mma stay in my own lane.

-[Owens] What's your last name?

-Weekley. W-E-E-K-L-E-Y.

He's an old cat.

He's been in the system for a minute.

He's affiliated,

which means he's an official OG.

Man.

[tense music playing]

[Squirrel] Did you get no job down there?

[Weekley] The only job I had

was taking other n*gga's money.

[laughs]

Same thing I'm gonna do in here.

Get some of that money.

-Hell yeah.

-[Squirrel] They like it in here.

-They like for you to have their money.

-I like taking it too.

I mean, for real.

[indistinct chatter]

[Randy] I'm not ever a fan

of new people coming in,

'cause I already know

it's going to be some BS.

Then I feel something bad about him.

I just let folks know I don't like him.

It's 'cause he gonna be

a bad person up in here.

He gonna do this. He gonna do that.

I haven't felt that in a long time.

I just gotta feel him out.

[music fades out]

[narrator] With the ongoing

visitation privileges for the unit

How we do this? I ain't never did this.

Tiny has entrusted Crooks

to handle some essential prep work.

[Tiny] I'm gonna see my boy, man.

First time his visitation.

So, you know, try to get myself decent.

[funky music playing]

Hey, check this out.

Now, you see I did my mustache

'cause I do not want to look like you.

You look like sh*t, dawg.

[laughing] With no facial hair, huh?

[Tiny] Hell yeah, man.

I get a call from my kid.

He says, "Dad, I wanna see you."

sh*t. I had to think right there.

I stopped everything.

I don't give a f*ck where the f*ck I'm at.

If I'm in Kalamazoo,

I'm gonna go see my boy.

I got you.

What I like to do is use this pencil, man.

That way the line be good,

you know what I'm saying?

And you see I'm not shaved.

They keep our razors from us.

We won't be able to

properly groom ourself.

I have to clean up.

[music ends]

Is this supposed to smell like this?

Mm-hmm. It's like acid or something.

This sh*t stinks, man.

[peppy music playing]

This smells like

some sh*t you pulled out the toilet, man.

My son is the main f*cking reason

why I strive hard to get the f*ck out.

I'm trying to really hurry up

and get out to his ninth grade year.

Spending more family time,

man, it's very important.

Got any kids?

-No kids.

-You ain't got no kids?

All the f*cking you doing,

and you got no kids?

Mm-mm.

sh*t f*cking burns, dawg.

It burns, yeah.

Is this sh*t supposed to

f*cking feel like this, man?

-Yeah. It's gonna burn a little bit.

-sh*t. It burns and it stinks.

-It stinks.

-Is it supposed to be like that?

Nah, it's not gonna hurt or nothing,

but you gonna feel it, like, activating.

Don't they got this sh*t in the military?

I know this sh*t back in the day.

I think this sh*t came in a can.

-Like the old sh*t?

-Trying to see what it say.

See, it say, "Formulated for Black men."

Yeah?

If this hurt like that,

then you know for sure I'm half-white.

[laughs]

That sh*t hurts.

Go on, that sh*t right there.

You see that?

That's how you do it.

[music fades]

I'm feeling anxious,

nervous, and excited. You know?

I ain't seen my kid in a long time.

You never know what's gonna happen.

This sh*t f*cking hurts.

My f*cking face f*cking hurts.

Yeah, that sh*t burns, man.

[jazzy music playing]

I think he'll be all right.

[inmate] This is commissary day!

[narrator] As the new inmates settle in,

there is additional excitement in H Unit

for the weekly arrival of commissary.

Commissary is money.

Noodles are dollars.

So you bet your dollar to a dollar.

Chips $1.50-type sh*t, so.

[Crooks] Everybody's got a little money

to kind of play with,

and you realize

everybody's gambling non-stop.

[female officer] Next!

That's all I hear.

It's something that, like,

will give people stuff to do.

So they're not bored.

When you're bored, you get in trouble.

There's, like, $200-something worth

of commissary in there.

[laughs]

I gambled, I have two-for-one.

They tried to break Vegas.

They trying to hit Vegas.

-[producer] They're not gonna break you.

-At all, you know what I'm saying?

People can have debt with commissary,

whether it's, um,

playing cards or dominoes,

and, you know, you lose

and what are you betting?

Of course, they're just supposed to

play the game, but betting happens.

You can remove

all the cards out of the unit,

then they'll continue to try to make dice

or whatever to gamble with.

We know that.

That can create tension,

but we haven't had

any real issues with them over that.

[indistinct chatter]

I'm hosting these tournaments today,

know what I'm saying?

Everybody. The dominoes.

You know what I'm saying?

I'm hosting It's going to be

a card game in a minute.

It's free. All you gotta do is sign up.

Just sign up and try to get you

a little something. Know what I'm saying?

[narrator] Flush with new commissary cash,

Squirrel decides to organize

a unit-wide tournament.

There's a domino tournament,

chess tournament.

Got a damn push-up tournament,

basketball tournament.

You know, sh*t.

He should have did

a "take a shower" tournament.

-[laughs]

-Yeah. But sh*t

Big six! f*ck that sh*t!

[Randy] Okay. Remember that. All in. Go.

[Squirrel] Oh, that's bogus money.

He called 15.

sh*t, you know what I'm saying?

You said 15, n*gga.

[indistinct]

Put that money down there.

[Randy] You keep talking, you gonna

Keep on. I'll tell ya.

[Weekley] Who is the page-turner?

-These people right there?

-Yo.

-You in there?

-[Weekley] Hell yeah. sh*t.

The king has done everything, goddammit.

[Squirrel] Hey, quit looking back here

like you scared or something.

You got a nervous a*s n*gga.

That n*gga there, man.

Watching everything, man.

When they holla on that man,

I'm that man.

[indistinct chatter]

It's a lot of, you know,

masculinity up in here, man. You know?

A lot of testosterone in here, man.

Everybody want to feel like,

"I'm better than you"

at whatever you're playing.

So make the odds a little bit better.

Why don't we put a noodle on it now.

You know?

A chip or two, from the basketball game

to the dice to the spades

to the chess game. So,

you know, it's a big deal, you know.

Yeah, you're full of sh*t. All right. Bye.

They called to say you're full of sh*t.

[music ends]

[CJ] I don't give a f*ck.

Sixteen. Sixteen. Turn that sh*t over.

[ambient music playing]

[CJ] What the f*ck you finna do?

Break!

Oh! I forgot. I ain't sh**ting dice.

I'm playing dominoes.

-Told you, bro.

-You pass? Huh?

I ain't finished.

Whoa, boy, look at the

Well they good but

Everybody's just talking.

Diamonds up against that wood!

[narrator] The stakes of the usually

lighthearted game have increased

with an intimidating

new inmate seated at the table.

This sh*t too easy.

Too easy?

Too easy!

sh*t talk,

a little sh*t talk in this mofo.

[Weekley] The champ is here!

The champ is sh*t talking.

The champ is here! The champ is here.

The champ is here!

Come on, man. It take you that long

to dial in for that booty call.

Come on, now.

What the f*ck is this, goddammit?

What the f*ck is that?

You put it way on over here?

Hey, I can't read and wrote,

but I can damn sure count.

Whoo! [exclaiming]

-Ten more!

-What you talking about? What you have?

It don't matter what he had.

[laughs]

They been nitpicking CJ.

He can't play.

Period. Now that's one that can't play.

But you know what I'm saying?

They nitpicking him.

[CJ] sh*t, man.

Hah! Come on, then.

[dramatic music playing]

[narrator] After five hours

of the casino tournament,

only the diehards are left in the game,

and tension between CJ and Weekley

has continued to mount.

[indistinct chatter]

He's cheating!

[Weekley] Brother, I don't cheat.

On my mama, he was cheating. On my kids,

on colors I caught him cheating.

On colors, I caught him cheating.

I knew it.

[Mayham] He was cheating.

Pretty much stealing too, though.

The $15 he was taking from a lot of people

cheating in the spade game,

so CJ caught him in his bullshit.

Got on his a*s.

On colors, I caught him cheating.

On my mama, I caught him cheating.

[tense music playing

[Eastside] A lot of older people in here.

You know what I mean?

But he got, like,

other, like, younger kids in here

from, like, different gangs.

There's definitely gonna be fights.

On colors, you was cheating!

On Bloods, you was cheating!

[indistinct]

[music intensifies]

Hold on!

Y'all better not be looking.

Man, just move. Move.

Y'all gonna get 'em all caught.

Y'all ain't got to watch this sh*t.

It's over with, they already done.

Get away from the door.

[music fades]

Yo, man. I see what y'all locked in for.

-[inmate] Count time!

-[inmate 2] Count time!

[Parkinson] Count time!

Owens!

[indistinct chatter]

They just make it too obvious,

especially if you're paying attention.

You're like,

"Okay. They're about to do something."

'Cause you'll see people crowd,

you know, around each other,

and you're like, "Okay.

Something's going on."

[Mayham] They was just arguing,

that's it.

Nah, ain't no problem here.

This ain't over with.

This ain't over with.

Man, this sh*t over, man.

Get this sh*t over with.

We got a code in here.

So leave all that bullshit alone,

get y'all one in, fight it out,

come back out, do your time,

and try to make it home to your family.

It can get serious, though.

I've seen some crazy sh*t in here.

[tense music playing]

[Weekley] Come on, n*gga.

[indistinct chatter]

Come on.

I'm not big on trying to cause problems.

I try to defuse it,

but, like, if there ain't

no way around it, then sh*t.

I'm finna do what we gotta do.

Come on. Come on.

I gotta tell you

what's going down now, n*gga. Come on.

[narrator] In an effort

to bring the tension down,

some of the inmates try to help control

the situation by taking CJ upstairs.

[Crooks] It can take one person to come

in here and change the whole thing.

Like one bad foul-a*s person

who's made everybody's stress level

go up a little bit and not trust anything.

Now they're like, "What's going on?"

I just got into a fight.

[girlfriend] What?

I just got into a fight.

-[girlfriend] Why?

-Huh? sh*t.

-[girlfriend] Why?

-Huh? I just got into one.

[girlfriend] Why

Because I was playing cards.

That's what this sh*t's about.

n*gga a sore-a*s loser.

On my mama, on Nya, I'm serious.

I'm in jail, baby.

[indistinct]

-Huh?

-[CJ] You gonna lay down, n*gga.

Beat you, b*tch-a*s n*gga.

-[Weekley] What y'all want. Whatever.

-[CJ] And what you stand on.

[Weekley] Huh?

[girlfriend] What are they saying?

[Weekley] Who? Don't even worry about it.

It don't matter

if we have a fight today, tomorrow,

sh*t, two to three months from now.

sh*t is gonna happen.

Simple as that. Problem solved.

[producer] What would happen?

sh*t, man. I'm getting up out of here.

I'm gonna get physical.

Real f*cking physical. [chuckles]

[Weekley] I'm probably

gonna get locked down because

See, I'm not through with this sh*t.

Man, I'm not

I'm not I'm not through here.

I woulda had you, n*gga, on read.

I woulda had you, n*gga.

I woulda had you, n*gga.

He ain't f*cked

[Weekley] I woulda had you, n*gga.

sh*t. For real.

[speaking indistinctly]

sh*t. Whatever, n*gga.

[girlfriend] You'd better go to your cell.

[speaking indistinctly]

[Weekley] I probably

ain't gonna be here tonight.

I'm probably gonna get moved

to another pod.

And the free calls is over with.

So, yeah, for real.

[girlfriend] Okay, I love you, babe.

[Weekley] I love you too. Bye.

[girlfriend] Bye-bye.

[Randy] I like the ones in here now.

[music ends]

The problem is the new one coming in.

There ain't no telling

what's gonna happen now.

[dramatic music playing]

[narrator] Risking all the privileges

that the unit has provided them,

CJ and Weekley put it all

on the line to settle the score.

[CJ] Where should we go?

You wanna go in my room?

[Weekley] Yes.

That's a fight right there.

They'll just ruin it for everybody.

[narrator] The inmates prepare CJ's cell

for what Weekley assumes

will be a one-on-one fight

with the man who accused him of cheating.

[Tiny] That was some Blood sh*t.

But I can't too much speak on that

because I'm not a f*cking Blood.

I'm a Crip, you know what I'm saying?

That's what happens

when you get caught cheating, though.

Some get a little bit worse.

Some don't make it out.

That's why they don't have cards in prison

'cause there's a lot of people

got k*lled for cheating in cards.

[indistinct chatter]

-[Weekley] What's all this?

-[CJ] Whatchu mean, what's all this?

-[Weekley] I didn't know it's like that.

-[CJ] That's how it's going, man.

D2, CJ, and the other dude

with my cellmate Rosco

jumped one dude.

I'm not sure what

the old man name who they jumped

because he cheated in the spade game.

[Weekley] Be cool!

[multiple blows]

[CJ] You wanna play with me?

What the f*ck wrong with you, n*gga?

BC now, n*gga.

The f*ck wrong with you, n*gga?

I'm not playing with you!

All right, get up outta here.

All right, that's good.

Get your b*tch a*s down.

-Lay down.

-[Weekley] No, bro.

[CJ] Stay down.

I don't give a f*ck, n*gga!

I'm a Blood, n*gga.

f*ck you! You gonna learn.

Get him up here. f*ck you.

-You gonna learn, b*tch. Little b*tch.

-[multiple blows landing]

I don't give a f*ck, n*gga.

I'm a Blood! f*ck!

[Weekley groans]
