Original subtitles

Howdy.

Owner's got a couch that's also puke color.

Thinks there's something wrong with the engine.

Said, "it's making a funny noise."

It wasn't hilarious.

Transmission? Transmission.

If this is a surprise party, somebody missed the cue.

Brad. Bradley.

Bradley.

Come in my office.

You can tell it out here. I don't work in an office.

I don't need to squeeze into one to hear some bad news.

It's a tough time for businesses right now. I'm not really interested in the economy.

Am I gettin' laid off?

I'm sorry.

I'll clear out my locker.

Don't take my artwork.

I won't!

James? Yeah?

You know where the bolt cutters are at? In the storeroom...

...buried.

I'll exhume them.

Thanks.

Bradley?

You okay? South of okay, north of cancer.

When things pick up around here, I'll make sure Dean calls you.

I said the same shit to Pete when he got booted.

Thanks.

What's going on? Why are you home so early?

I got fired.

You got fired?

Give me your cellphone.

No. Give it!

I've been seeing somebody.

Get in the house.

I didn't mean...

Get out! Get in the house.

I'm sorry.

Should I go? I can clear out. Let's talk.

Bradley, let me put something... Sit.

How long?

Three months.

Serious?

No.

Why?

Well, I don't know exactly. I'm...

I was sad.

And we haven't been close since...

...you know.

I know.

I thought maybe you were doing the same thing.

You were staying out late every night, coming to bed after I was asleep.

No.

I was working or working out.

And staying clear.

I didn't know.

Communication between us... there hasn't been much.

Did you fall off the wagon?

Almost. Did you?

No.

Do you want to end it with us?

I don't know.

I want things to be different than they've been.

Our marriage, us, we've...

...it's like when I go into the minimart at the gas station and get coffee.

They got those three metal containers there.

One's got cream, one's got milk...

...and the other's got that gray-lookin' skim stuff.

Every time I go in there, those labels are faced away...

...and I have to guess which one's the real stuff, the cream.

But every time...

...the first container I grab is always that...

...milk or that skim stuff. It's never the one I want.

The law of averages says one out of three times, I...

...I ought to get the cream, but it doesn't happen.

Maybe if I go in there a thousand times...

...it'll even out like it should.

I'll have a run of...

...pickin' out the cream fifty or a hundred times in a row, but...

...I don't think so.

I don't think things even out fair like that.

Look at us.

I think we should start again.

Try to have another baby.

We don't pick up where things went bad for us...

...the miscarriage... we're through.

I've thought about that, too, but...

...I only get called in to substitute once or twice a week.

You just lost your job.

I'm gonna call Gil.

You're gonna be a drug dealer?

No. I'm gonna drive packages for a friend.

You said you would never work for Gil.

So we're both breaking promises today.

I want us in a better home than this shithole.

With kids and happy.

I'm tired of getting the goddamn skim milk and...

...hoping that luck brings out the cream, 'cause it won't, not ever.

This won't be forever. I promise.

Will you abide?

Yeah.

Give me some time before you get close.

Okay.

Hey, Johnny rebel. Howdy.

You gonna give me a sample this time? Talk to your boss.

Come on. Let me earn it direct.

I promise I can put a great big smile on each of those nuts.

No thanks. They don't want anyone to see their braces.

What's the weather like? Chance of snow.

Step up to the window.

Put it in the drawer.

Here, put it on the scale.

She's porcine.

What are you doing?

The ritual that happens after you buy the groceries but before you eat them.

I don't want you handling a knife right now.

Please, put that down.

I am competent.

What if you cut yourself and started bleeding and passed out?

Spilled boiling water or something?

How come you let me work in "The Kitchen of Perils" before I was pregnant?

Because you're resilient.

Well, are we just gonna eat takeout for four months?

I can grill things.

How's Koala? She's good.

And Mama Koala? I'm good, but my feet hurt.

That's 'cause you shouldn't be on them right now.

How was work? Yeah, it was.

Too much sun this time of day.

Need to get some better curtains in here.

Green ones.

Howdy.

Okay, I'll be right over.

Adios.

Gil?

Evenin'. Nice to see you. Come in.

Did your dad pick out that outfit?

He did. You like it?

Zesty. He's in the pool room.

The one with the pool or... or with the pool table?

The table. He calls it the billiards room, but I don't know.

It's just pool he plays in there. Thanks.

Que pasa? Hey.

In the fridge.

Jill got you your faggoty mineral water.

I didn't know H-2-O's got a sexual orientation.

Where's this guy? En route.

How'd the transaction go? Never a problem with Cuz.

Yeah, I like that nigger.

Or is it... is it "nigga" with an A at the end...

...when you're saying it nice?

Don't think someone like you can say that word any way polite.

How's Lauren? Good.

When's she dumping out the kid? 98 days.

You planning on staying in the delivery room?

Of course. That's something I wouldn't give up for anything.

Plug up your nose...

...and wear sunglasses so they don't know when you're shutting your eyes.

I want to watch our baby girl draw her first breath.

That's a moment. It's a moment, all right.

That'll be Eleazar.

That's the new source?

If this deal goes well, I'll be partnering with him.

He's got lines to Mexico and a steady stream of good, cheap crystal.

Just wanted to meet you before the pickup. Sounds like he brought amigos.

Mexicans ain't comfortable being by themselves. You know how they grow up.

Five to a bed. 10 beds per adobe.

Good evening, my friend.

How are you? This is Bradley.

He's my top runner.

Howdy.

Nice to meet you.

This is Pedro, one of the men who will accompany you during the pickup.

This is Roman, the other.

I'm not doing a pickup with him.

And for what reason? He looks like he's using.

Roman's been clean for two years. I test my employees.

He's extremely reliable, and he knows what to do in adverse situations.

Sorry.

Words from a stranger don't drop instinct.

Bradley.

Give us a moment. Let me talk to you.

I need you to go along...

...protect my interests.

Our interests.

Eleazar swears by the guy.

It ain't like you haven't had your problems before.

That's 14 years done.

The bottle ain't the same thing as junk. Don't kid yourself with that bullshit.

You look at my brother and your old man.

Boozin's a bad decision that leads to 10,000 more and then the last one.

The guy is juiced.

Maybe not junk, but... Bradley.

Don't make me give you an ultimatum.

Sounds like you just gave me one.

I can't give this to Oscar or Tony or Randolph.

No one elbows guys like those...

...on a shipment this big. I need you.

You help me set up this partnership, I'll give you two months off when your baby's born.

Three.

Done. We're good.

I'll go.

But if something comes up, I got the reins.

They shall mind you.

Roman, look at me.

If I say "dump the package," what do you do?

Dump.

Amen.

I felt her.

I felt you.

I felt you.

97 days.

Hold right here.

Put your hands in your back pockets. Man, fuck you. I don't give...

Go against me and you two can swim out on your own and do the pickup.

Roman, esc�chale.

Don't want you shooting an innocent tarp.

Turn around.

Let's go.

That one.

This is yours, Blanco? Gil's.

Get rid of the trunk.

Let's go, bro.

Help make America beautiful, right?

Chill, Blanco. Tranquilo.

It's only for protection.

Pickup's done, Blanco.

Try and take this one, I'll break your jaw.

Dump. We'll pick them up later. No. I'm...

Blanco, release it.

Drop your weapons and put up your hands!

We shot three. We need help!

Run! Now!

Call for backup, now!

You stupid, stupid assholes.

Get down!

Officer down!

Come out right now! Eat a dick, pig!

You ready for 9/11 part two?

Grenade! Go!

No, Jesus, no.

Cover me!

Good night.

Eight ball, corner pocket.

Throw down your weapons!

Pig, this is what I'll throw!

Go, go, go, go! Dispatch, multiple 10-53s.

Officers down!

Freeze! Hands on your head, now!

Don't move, asshole!

Give him jewelry.

You want to burn it?

You want to wipe your ass with it?

You want to cut it up in little pieces and send them to Putin?

I have one over my front door.

So you're a patriot?

You mind if I sit?

I'm going to assume that's rhetorical.

Would you rather I leave?

I'm not gonna tell you anything you want to hear.

And prison will give me plenty of time to look at guys I don't like.

What is it that you think I want to hear?

The names of your associates?

The people who profited from your hard work while they wiped their dirty asses with that?

You can pretend you don't hear, but I saw that video.

I saw how you took down those lowlifes when they went up against the police...

...even though you could've got away clean.

I knew before you told me that you got an American flag in your home.

You probably got more than one.

I got two.

Because of your selfless actions, no police were killed in that event...

...which tells me that you know the difference between right and wrong...

...and that you have a moral compass.

So help us. Give us some names. Or give me one important name.

Who are you working for? I work alone.

Who supplies your crystal? Some guy.

Some guy got a name? I forgot.

Would you remember if I showed you a list of names?

Don't like to read. Won't even see a movie if it's got subtitles.

What would happen if I read them aloud? You wouldn't even have to say anything.

Just nod your head up and down.

I'll narrow it down for you. What's your name?

Detective Lawrence Watkins. That wasn't it.

You find this humorous? Your tricks are.

Every once in a while, I see a man in that chair...

...who could just as easily be on this side of the table...

...a man principled...

...who had a run of bad luck and just went the wrong way.

I'm not gonna talk.

I know that this is your first offense, but you're looking at 4 years, maybe 5.

Do you know that drug traffickers actually serve those sentences?

I'm aware that the system is harder on guys that distribute drugs...

...than it is on men who commit acts of violence against women and children.

Do you think that's fair?

You ever see a man with meth mouth?

You ever see the 14-year-old girl who's... I'm not gonna argue with you, Larry.

I'm not gonna give you any info. I know what I did...

...and I know what the sentence is gonna be.

It's done.

You have other options. I don't.

Your wife told me that you were gonna have a baby girl.

You'll be in prison when she says her first word...

...and I guarantee you that word will not be "Daddy."

I need to keep it in good taste. Yeah, it tasted pretty good.

Sit.

I gave them your change of clothes.

Thanks.

I got some stuff I want to say.

Okay. I don't want you at the hearing.

I know how it's gonna go, and there's no point for you...

...turning up to watch it happen.

I'm not contending the charges.

I want to be there. I want to be supportive.

Well, that won't be any good for anybody. Actually, it'll make things harder.

There's no reason for you and the Koala to...

...go through that experience...

...for me to watch you go through it, so...

...please.

Okay.

It's gonna be four years, maybe five, and...

...I have to serve most of it, if not every damn day.

Sorry.

I will visit as much as I'm allowed, and I'll bring our girl.

No. I don't want the first time for her to see me to be in prison.

We'll come up with something to tell her when she is old enough...

...to know something's wrong and...

...I'll give her the full truth when she's old enough to understand.

Okay.

I'll wait for you.

No matter how long it is.

I will never, never make that mistake again.

I promise you. I know.

So that's it, then.

I love you.

I considered the defendant's plea of nolo contendre...

...and also the very serious nature of his crimes.

I hereby sentence Bradley Darrel Thomas to be incarcerated for seven years...

...at the Franklin R. James Medium Security Detention Center.

This hearing has come to its lawful conclusion.

Even on the outside, that's some dismal shit.

You seen those pictures of that prison in Austria?

Man, I wish we were going there.

You should aim higher with your wishes.

Gentlemen, listen up.

Follow the red line to the door.

Stop there.

Tell your name to the man with the clipboard.

Bradley Thomas.

Proceed.

Enrique Gomez.

Welcome to the Fridge.

Russell Harris.

Next.

Return yourself to the end of the line.

I was next. I just had to run to... Maintain your place in line...

...or you relinquish it.

Take yourself back to the end of the line.

That's not fair. I had to run to the bathroom.

You're delaying the entire process for everybody.

Remove yourself.

Worse than the DMV. Next.

Next.

Bradley Thomas.

Do you have a receipt for the ring?

Receipt? No. Put it in there.

Why?

Inmates are not allowed to possess any jewelry...

...which is a value of more than $75.

Well, it's made out of stainless steel...

I'm neither a metallurgist nor a jeweler. I cannot attest to its value.

Relinquish it now.

Sorry. I didn't mean to... Reclaim your possessions...

...and take your place at the end of the line.

Next.

Next.

Bradley Thomas.

I recall.

Well...

...that's better. Best to remain civilized, Mr. Thomas.

Even in a prison.

Enjoy your stay.

Bradley Thomas? Yes.

Stand inside the box.

Remove your clothing. Leave your underwear on until I tell you to lower them.

You can put your clothing in that box. I figured.

Looks like we're locking up another genius.

Should we let him go so he can cure cancer?

Help the sciences unify string theories?

Legs apart.

Hands on top of your head.

Open your mouth.

Lift up your tongue.

You can shut it.

Now for everybody's favorite part. Lower your drawers.

Put your hands on top of your head.

He's an A-minus.

Are you Bradley Thomas?

I am. I'm Lefty.

I'm in charge of your orientation.

You got bunions?

My right foot's injured, and these shoes are about two sizes too small.

We'll tell Denise. She's your case worker.

Can you walk for now?

As far as prisons go, you could do worse than the Fridge.

Though this place sure isn't like that one in Austria.

You get a private cell.

It's small, but you aren't breathing someone else's stale air...

...for months or years, trying not to hate them.

And you got some choices over in prison industries...

...depending on your case worker's evaluation.

Desks, shelves, jeans, vending machine parts.

We make a lot of stuff here.

Food's awful, but, hell, it's prison.

How long have you been in here?

28 years. And I was in Jackson before here.

They called me Righty over there.

You can ask.

Well, it ain't my business.

People who don't ask you what you did...

...are the ones who don't want to talk about what they did.

You're a fit guy.

Looks like you could handle trouble, but it's better if you ask...

...and better if you tell. You don't want people making assumptions.

I've seen guys twice your size picking their teeth out of the shower drain...

...and I've seen worse.

And if you hurt women or kids or something like that...

...you should come up with a lie right now...

...and stick to it.

I ran H and crystal.

Some coke.

I murdered two men in a stick-up.

Shot one of them in the head four times.

Was...

...on junk at the time.

What floor is my cell on?

The scenic.

This is the guy they're putting in seven? Yeah. Bradley Thomas.

Before you go in your coffin, there's some rules to apprise you of.

Five days a week, I do the count on this floor.

If you hear that buzzer go, you come out your room, you wait to be counted.

You don't go back until you hear that buzzer again, no matter what.

You miss the count, sleep through it, whatever...

...the rest of the floor waits around for you to be found.

It's not a great way to make friends.

I do the inspections, too. I call out, "Inspection!"

You come out your room and you wait outside until I'm through.

You box? No.

Them muscles just for show?

Helps me lift stuff.

There's a boxing program here, a good one.

I'm one of the coaches. Not interested.

What? You'd rather make desks and parts for vending machines?

I'd rather knit baby booties with pink yarn than hit people for no reason.

You ever tried? Boxing?

I spent some time in the ring when I was younger.

Yeah. You get whooped?

No.

Pay wasn't good enough?

You ever hurt somebody? Kill a guy?

Pester him some other time.

Doors are unlocked when guys are at prison industries...

...or the yard or in class.

There's a school here. That's good.

This one's yours.

I'll leave you alone while you check things out.

Dinner's at 6:00. I think I'll skip it today.

Lots of guys skip dinner when they first get here.

2:00 or 3:00 in the morning, you'll want it.

I'll take you to see your case worker tomorrow.

Thanks.

Seven fucking years.

Christ.

Line up!

Someone's missing from the line, so we gotta wait!

I hope none of you mind.

I got a dream I gotta get back to. There was a woman.

She was plump, but she was willing. We're waiting!

Thank you for joining our little get-together, Mr. Thomas.

Damn. What happened?

Stepped on a bug.

You're bullshitting.

It was a big one.

That necessary?

Pretend like you're talking to God.

He doesn't smell like nachos.

You're not off to a good start, Mr. Thomas.

The whole floor is standing out here in the middle of the night...

...tired, hungry...

...waiting for me to finish the count, and you're making jokes.

Any more clever remarks?

You hear that buzzer, you come out and get counted.

No delay.

Like the bell at the beginning of a boxing match.

Ding-ding.

Should've told him about the bug.

Oh, Christ.

Oh, please.

Oh, please.

Get out of here!

Morning count!

Eight days.

Morning.

That gets hard to say after waking up here a thousand times.

I bet.

Thanks for the candy bar.

I told you.

Your industry assignments, your visits...

...all that sort of stuff go through Denise.

You want her to like you, so be respectful...

...and don't look below her neck...

...and don't make implications.

The women in here are real sensitive to that stuff.

I smuggled in two kilos of southern charm.

She's got a nice set.

Come in.

I'm Denise Pawther.

I'm not sure you want to shake my hand.

Next time. You are Bradley Thomas?

I wish I wasn't.

Please, sit. Thanks, ma'am.

How was your first night in the Fridge?

Lacking in some departments, but I heard this place isn't a reward.

Did you sleep? Some.

Did you eat? Lefty gave me a candy bar.

Normally we'd go over your file and discuss your assignments.

But I received a call 20 minutes ago that is a priority.

From who?

Dr. Pelman.

Dr. Pelman's your wife's obstetrician.

He said there were some complications in the pregnancy...

...and wanted to discuss the matter with you in person.

Is...

...is it serious?

He did not go over details with me.

He's coming here? Correct.

We've scheduled an appointment at 10:00.

Where's Lauren? The hospital?

I don't know.

We'll finish the orientation tomorrow.

Have some breakfast and return to your cell.

An officer will come and get you as soon as Dr. Pelman signs in to the outer gate.

Have there been difficulties?

With our first one, but not this time around.

I appreciate you letting me know.

Hope everything goes well.

You must be pretty popular.

Getting a visitor on your second day.

Maybe they came to interview you?

See a boxing legend?
