that the cutest thing you ever heard?

Yeah, man.

Hey, now,

what is this?

I can't see my little daughter on her birthday

without bringin' her a gift, now can I?

Yeah, man,

but that's a bunny rabbit.

That's all right. I mean,

she'll like it, right? I mean, what?

It's either this or a tube of toothpaste

and two packs of Pall Malls at the canteen.

- Now, that's a present.

- I'll remember that on your birthday.

Yeah, you do that, man.

"It having been made to appear to

the United States Parole Commission...

Cameron Poe is eligible

to be paroled. "

Sh*t, might be a long time before I see

somethin' like that with my name on it.

- You'll get your own date someday,

Baby-O. - I ain't worried about that, man.

Yeah, but like at this new prison you're

goin' to, who's gonna watch your back?

God's got my back.

You know what I'm sayin'?

I'm goin' home, son!

Wait, don't be gettin' all juicy

on me, all right? Get off me.

Step out.

Good-bye. Good night.

The U.S. Marshal Service

annually flies...

around the country...

for transfers, legal hearings

and medical exams.

As you know, today's flight

is a special one.

We're populating Alabama's

Feltham Penitentiary...

the newest super-max facility

in the system.

This place was designed

to warehouse the worst of the worst.

Now, most of these guys

are lifers, some on death row.

Pure predators,

each and every one of them.

- Hey, lady!

- Lady's a dog in a Walt Disney movie.

My name is Bishop.

Guard Bishop to you.

Well, I gotta be gettin' my shot before we

go gettin' on some airplane, Guard Bishop.

- What's your name?

- Odell. They didn't give me my shot last night.

Okay, you're diabetic? All right, your insulin's

on board. We'll give it to you in flight.

- Cameron Poe.

- Yes, ma'am.

You know you're still under full

restraints till you're processed...

and released from your original

prison, understand?

Yes, ma'am. As long as I make it home

on time, it makes no never mind.

- It's my daughter's birthday.

- Well, congratulations.

I got locked down three months before

she was born. She ain't never seen me.

- And why not?

- No way was she gonna meet her daddy...

in a prison visitor room

surrounded by homemade cookies and...

and love-starved murderers.

- No way.

- What you got here is a walking, talking reason to rehabilitate.

So today let's exemplify

our three operative words:

firm, fair and vigilant.

Now, let's go to work.

We off-load six in Carson City,

the rest are sheeted to Feltham.

Good. Let's go deal

with the DEA boys.

- You know this guy?

- Haven't had the pleasure.

He's a piece of work,

a real piece of work.

Duncan, good to see you.
