Doing Hard Time Page #2

Synopsis: When Michael Mitchell's seven-year-old son, Chase, is accidentally shot during an aborted drug deal, no one knows for sure which of the two gunmen, Curtis "Durty Curt From Detroit" Craig or Raymond "Razor" Carver, pulled the trigger. Because both men refuse to testify against the other, a jury finds them guilty only of drug possession, meaning they could be back on the street in two years. Having already lost Chase's mother to cancer, Michael can't live with the idea of his only child's murder going unpunished. As part of a methodical plan to exact his revenge, he commits a brutal crime to get himself sentenced to the same institution as Durty Curt and Razor. Meanwhile, Durty Curt is determined to settle the score with Razor, who has fallen in with prison kingpin Eddie Mathematic. As a showdown approaches, a cast of players, from prison guard Capt. Pierce to gay bookie Clever to Michael's illiterate cell mate, Smalls take sides and place bets on the outcome.

I ain't one of your dance students.

And you're not looking to learn

any new moves, right?

Right.

Why does every straight man think

that every gay man wants to f*** him?

You're not my type.

Even if you were...

I don't sh*t where I live.

- Are we clear?

- As ice-cold vodka, my n*gger.

That's for us. You're on kitchen detail.

Hey, man, what you got? A new friend?

Dirty Curt from Detroit. Dane and Kool.

They say n*ggers from Detroit is hard.

- True that.

- Well, we hard, too.

Any n*gger take a dick in his ass,

keep a smile on his face...

is not to be f***ed with. You understand?

- I hear you talking, big man.

- And that's real talk.

All right, boys and girls.

Cut the chatter and let's go to work.

Your call has been forwarded

to an automatic voice message system.

I love you.

How you feeling?

Golden, glowing, flowing like a champ.

What does that mean?

- That's how I kiss you when you're not here.

- But I'm right here.

Michael, you got a pimple.

- What are you doing?

- Come on, I'm saving your life.

It's a pimple.

You love me?

You want me to confirm that I love you...

because I wouldn't let you

bust a pimple on my face?

No.

I want you to confirm that you love me

because I'm pregnant.

Oh, my God. I'm in love

with the greatest woman on the planet.

She's having my baby?

Life is beautiful. You're beautiful.

I love you.

That's Monarch and his woods.

They're like some pseudo Aryan nation,

but you ain't got to worry about them.

They're the minority up in here.

That's your man Razor,

the cat who took you off the street.

How do you know?

From County to State to Federal Pen,

motherfuckers come and go daily.

And they do talk. Faster than the Internet.

You must know I'll have to bust Razor's ass

before this is all over, right?

Odds are four-to-one you lose.

And how the f*** you figure?

He's down with Gutter and Mathematic.

Nothing happens in here

without them sanctioning it first.

The motherfuckers setting odds on this

don't know sh*t.

I set the odds.

I run the book for the whole tier,

and I ain't been wrong in five years.

- That's 'cause you don't know Durty.

- But I know Gutter and Mathematic.

Gutter don't talk unless he's using his fist.

And Mathematic, his name says it all.

A calculating, cold-blooded killer.

You may be dirty, but them n*ggers...

are grimy.

If they so grimy,

how they got you on the books?

They get 20%.

But to answer your question,

they'd have to fight me to take it away.

And odds are they'd win.

But there's a possibility

that I could win, too.

Now imagine that.

You get your ass kicked by a f*ggot...

where would that put them

on the food chain in this piece?
