Doing Hard Time Page #4

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.

There's a $50 cash limit, Smalls.

You want to do more, it's got to be in trade.

Not for Mathematic.

He says you take all he bet.

You got a problem with that, go see him.

No.

- It's all good in the hood.

- Cool.

Put me down for $20 on Razor, also.

- Cash or trade?

- Trade.

You got any money on your books?

$200. Why?

I'm going to give you a list.

When you go to the prison store, you'll use

that $200 to buy what's on that list.

What the f*** am I gonna do that for?

- Don't watch.

- I'm not, Clever.

I can't go when you watch.

It's what your insurance policy costs,

and I'm the broker.

Everybody's betting against you.

If you make it through the week, I clean up.

That's good for self, but what's in it for me?

You get to live, plus 10%. And if you don't...

it won't f***ing matter.

Make a deal with Pierce, and it's on.

You want something, Craig?

Clever say you're the man to talk to.

Clever talk a lot of sh*t.

Don't mean it's all true.

If a man's got a problem with an inmate

and wants to resolve it, what he do?

According to your file,

you promoted concerts, right?

You want a stadium to hold a concert,

how do you get it?

I rent it.

- How much, man?

- $10,000.

$5,000, up front. $5,000, after.

Damn, you got to pay to play?

Way of the world.

Why should in here be any different, right?

Are you aware you were straddling

two lanes back there, sir?

I was?

Have you been drinking, sir?

Drinking?

Step out of the car, sir.

Don't move, motherf***er!

This is what it takes?

Get down! Get your ass down!

This sh*t ain't right, Curtis.

Your daughter has needs.

I got needs,

and your responsibilities ain't being met.

Rayvon, didn't I tell you

I was going to take care of it?

For Christ's sake, I'm locked the f*** up.

And whose fault is that?

It damn sure ain't mine.

And don't try to act

like you ain't got no money.

- Mommy, can I have a soda?

- Yeah, baby.

- Here you go. Give Mommy a kiss.

- Thank you.

When did you ever hear me say

I ain't got no money?

I said Amber would take care of you

after the concert.

That's what I'm talking about.

How you gonna let

that off-brand b*tch run sh*t?

That's why your stupid ass is sitting

where you sitting.

What does Amber got to do

with me being locked up?

You hang out with stupid white b*tches,

you start doing stupid-ass sh*t, that's how.

You gonna make me

smack the sh*t out of you.

I wish you would.

Then they can just add some more time

to the time you already got.

Let me spend the last couple minutes

I got left with my daughter.

All right. Go on, baby.

That's your daddy,

an example of what not to grow up and be.

- Raise your arms.

- I'm here to see Capt. Pierce.
