Those assholes serve warrants

They've never been shot at

I got shot at yesterday.

It's Kyle.
He's in with Ian.

And no mention of cops?

- No cops.
They'd mention that shit.

So look, the department knows,
okay, it's only a matter

of time before the
fucking inmates find out.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kyle reach out?

- I know.

- Can you get ahold
of anyone inside?

- It just goes right
to voicemail.

- That's why they're fucked.

Who's jammin' the cell signal?

Are you jammin'
the fuckin' cell signal?

- Hey, hey, hey,
we don't want inmates

communicating
with the outside world.

- And what about
the corrections officers

and two homicide detectives
that they haven't caught

who can't call us with intel,

because you're jammin'
their fucking phones?

- You have two officers
in the prison?

- Yes.

- How do you know they
haven't been apprehended?

- Because they aren't
hangin' upside down

off the fuckin' walls.

Use your head, not the playbook.

Hey, listen up,
think of all you can learn

if we start listening

to what people are saying!

Fuck!
Well, after you.

- Get cellular back online.

- For fuck sake, I gotta fight

Towers are up, but don't call

Saddle up.

- Come on, kid.
Phone on silent.

Smart kid, have your
phone on silent.

- The last major riot
in the United States

took place in the
Lee Correctional Institute

in Bishopville, South Carolina.

But a United States prison has
not been overrun since 1980.

That's when inmates took over
the state penitentiary

in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

It was the deadliest riot
in this nation's history

until today.

Kingstown Men's Prison--

--is a medium security.

- They're shooting at us!
They're shooting at us!

Oh my God!

- Jesus...

- How do we know where
the fuck we're going?

Fuck him, fuck him!

- Get his pants.

- Come on, come on.
Come on.

- Come on.

- Oh shit, there's my phone.
It's my phone.

Mike. It's Mike.

- Robert. Robert. Got him.

- This way, this way, this way.

Heads up, heads up.

- I got someone inside
with a cell.

- You got a number?
- Yeah, yeah. Kyle McLusky.

- Hang tight.

- There he is.

- We got him.
- Southeast corner.

- Can you tell what floor?
- I'd need 3D schematics.

- Ask him which room
and which floor.

- He says they're underneath it.

- Listen up, ladies.

We have two police officers
underneath the prison.

- Just hang tight.

- We're sendin' in SWAT.
- Yeah, yeah.

- We'll get him outta there.
- Yeah.

- My turn.

I need a favor.

- What's the favor?

- You Mike McLusky?

- Yeah.

- They won't talk to me.
They want to talk to you.

- Okay.
- Why?

- I am an inmate advocate,
that's why.

- You're also a
criminal informant.

Seems like a conflict of
interest, if you ask me.

- Well, yeah, like I said,
I'm an advocate for inmates.

Somebody's already
informed on them.

That's why they're in there.
So I don't see a conflict.

Do you? Anyone?

- You willing to speak
on our behalf?

- Yeah, yeah.

- You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say
can and will

be used against you
in the court of law.

- I'm being arrested?

- When inmates start asking
for a man to represent them

and that man isn't an attorney,
well, we have to assume

that you work with criminals.

Which means we have
to assume you are one.

And in the event that something
is said that incriminates you,

I want it admissible in court.

- You have the right
to an attorney.

If you cannot afford one,
one will be appointed to you.

- Yes, I would like an attorney.
Yeah.

- Well, wish in one hand,
shit in the other.

See which comes true first.

- Do you understand these rights
as I've explained them to you?

- Yes. Yes, I do.

- Please state
that you understand.

- Yes, fuck! I understand them.
How about the fucking phone?

- Over here.

- No one on that wall does a
thing without my say so.

- Do you know who's on this?
You don't know?

This is Mike.

- Wild times.

- Yeah, pretty poorly
planned, Carlos.

Huh? You know how this ends.

- Understand, Ese.
I have no idea how this ends.

It don't feel like a riot.

It feels like a revolution.
- Well, it's not.

It's a riot.

- Whatever it is,

everybody in here
wants it played out.

- Okay, let's play
this out, Carlos.

Let me tell you how it ends.

It ends with
50 snipers on the wall

and the National fucking Guard
in Humvees

drivin' right through
the front fucking gate

and shootin' everything
they see.

- There's an army of 100
brothers in here

ready for what they send.

- That's not an army, Carlos.
It's a mob at best.

And armies don't shoot
at news helicopters.

- Call it what you want.

The prison is ours.

And we will defend it.
They need to know that.

- They know now, okay?
Understood?

You have demands?
- Oh, we have demands.

- Care to share?

- First, watch the yard.

- ♪

- Are you scared?

- Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.

- Carlos,

you're playin' against
the house here, okay?

And you keep pushing
your chips in.

There's nothing
they can do, Mike.

Most of us are in here for life.

This is no life, Ese.

No life at all.

The punishment is
taking our time,

our freedom,

but they take more.

They take our dignity,
our manhood.

The things that makes us people,
that's what they took.

And now we're takin' it back.

- This isn't him talking.
This isn't Carlos.

He's reading this shit.
- Why is that important?

- It means he's not the leader.

- Carlos, who's runnin'
this shit show?

And please don't tell me it's
you 'cause it ain't.

- You'll get to meet him, Mike.

- That right?
I can't wait.

- He can't wait to meet you.

- So we're gonna do some lunch,
is that it?

- Lunch it is.
It's a uh, late lunch.

4:00 PM.

- Okay, we'll meet
at the Red Carriage.

- We'll meet right here.
In the yard.

And we'll tell you what we want.

- Why don't you just
tell me now?

- I'll tell you in person.

- What if they don't
let me, Carlos?

- Fuckin' do it.

- Watch the monitor.

- They're all coming for you.

Now, fuck you.

Fuck you!

Fuck you!

I got a pretty good idea.

- Hey, hey, look at me.

Look at me.

If you don't face them,
if you don't hit them

in the fuckin' mouth for this,
you're gonna regret that

for the rest of your life.

- You had jurisdiction till you
lost the prison

and lost your jurisdiction
with it.

- This is state land.
- Leased from the city.

Speaking of state jurisdiction,

here comes the state police.
Look at that.

The Bureau of Prisons wants
corrections officers to lead.

- With all due respect,

your team has no experience
with assailants who shoot back.

State police has the scene until
the National Guard is in place.

- National Guard?
- You're not negotiating?

- We are in active negotiations,

but we're preparing
for the worst.

- They're gonna take it back.

- Do you know what every inmate
in every prison with cable

is watching right now?

This place didn't
make you into anything,

you were already made.

- I'm a criminal.
I don't deny it.

So was that fool I shot.

He knew the game same as me.

But now, we just dogs they beat
every time they feed us.

See half these fools think the
beating's a part of the meal,

but not me.
I know the difference.

They made a promise to us, Mike.

We kept our promise and
we killed that motherfucker.

What did we ask for in return?

Feed us something
fuckin' decent,

treat us like fuckin' men.

I ain't never gettin'
out this motherfucker.

I'ma die in here, Mike.

Can't control that,

but you know what I can control?

I can control how I die.

And I won't die some
old man painting watercolors

of birds I never see.

Some half-beat man, nah.

- That's absolutely fuckin'
fine for you, Paul.

You go out anyway you like, man.

Don't make that decision
for others, though.

Let them make that decision
for themselves.

for anybody.

I didn't ask them
to come out they cells

and come down here with me,
but they here anyways.

- What about the guards?

Hmm? What the fuck
did they choose?

- They choose everything all
day, every fuckin' day.

They the coldest, motherfuckin'
criminals in here.

Make me eat my own shit.

Take the letters
I write my daughter,

wipe they asses with them
and fuckin' give 'em back.

You was in here, man.

You know what it is, cuz.

How do you think criminals
in prison get drugs in here

in the first place?

You think I got my old lady
hiking that shit up her skirt?

Shit, drugs cheaper in here
than they are on the street.

These motherfuckers
wake up every morning

figurin' out new ways
to give us hell.

And go to sleep doin'
more of the same.
