You know what we hook you up to.
Is move some "candy" I'll put some serious paper in your pocket man.

Hey, why don't you answer the phone? - I was skyping with Craig.
Halo?
Hey, Maggy. No, Nick said the layoff wouldn't affect our division.
Mike I understand, but the bottom line is I need to buy all four rigs.
Anything less than that, There's no point.
I might as well just keep leasing.
Well that's what they do, those hollers They get together once a year,..
..and they raise a raid before the gas prices .
They do, because they know they can get away with it.
See the contract?
Yeah, its real. But I just don't know when it's gonna start.
How much money am I gonna have to borrow?
Alright, let's move some equity around.
I've been rolling the dice my whole life, might as well do it agin.
I gotta go.
Solid week boys, thank you.
I figure Analize would have you putting on brims and balon.
I'm still out getting Izzy's cake.
Good luck with that. - I need it.
Have a good weekend, Wayne. - See you.
You know there's no OT, unless it's authorized.
I don't look for OT, sir. This guy broke a pallet.
I get my bags out of the wheater It's gonna rain tonight.
Good heads up.
Whoa sir, I got this. Seriouslly, I don't want you get dirty.
It's alright. Let's do it together.
I'm John Matthews. - Daniel James.
Good to meet you, Daniel.
Don't worry about it.
How long have you been working here?
Do you mean work for you?
About 3 weeks now.
What do you think about give me that raise already?
Fat chance, buddy.
You gotta try, right? You gotta give it a whirl.
Packages for Jason Collins? - Yeah, that's me.
Alright, sign right there.
Alright, thanks.
Have a Good one. - Thanks man.
Department of Justice! This is DEA! Open the door!
Right there! Back fence!
Down! Get on the ground!
This is central. Reporting in.
Acknowledge. We have custody.
Cake.
That looks so good .
I love you.
Hi, baby. You're having fun on your birthday, Izzy ?
Hey, Sylvie. Let me call you back.
What?
They tell you anything?
Just to wait here until we're called.
They're treating him like he's some kind of major criminal, John.
We'll straight 'em out.
Is he in with my last name or yours?
You know we changed it to mine.
Why are you even asking?
Hi, my sons Jason Collins.. - Take a seat and wait to be called.
Can you at least tell me where he is?
You notice anything different?
Like what?
With him. Who he's been hanging with.
Anything out of ordinary.
No, John. I haven't notice anything.
This is such bullshit.
I mean he's a good kid.
Mike's sending a lawyer.
Good, you can afford it.
Didn't you quit?
Mr. and Mrs. Matthews? - Yeah.
Thanks for coming. - Where's Jason?
They're moving him from this holding cell to court room.
He's scheduled for a hearing this evening.
It's alright. Leave him in jail for a little bit. Scare the hell out of him.
No one's trying to scare your son.
This is federal case.
The amount of MDMA or ecstasy they found
means they've charged Jason for distribution of narcotics.
Jason said that a friend asks to have the drugs sent to the house.
What friend? - Friend with the name Craig Johnson?
That's his best friend.
Christ, I have known Craig since he was little.
Jason was arested trying to mail the pills,..
..and he agreed to work with the goverment.
What do you mean, "agreed to work with the goverment"?
Both Craig and Jason are being charged under
federal mandatory minimum sentencing laws.
These laws were design to ensare high level drug trafficer ..
..get them to snitch on other trafficer in order to reduce their own sentences
However, most of the conviction over half
have been first time offender like your son.
So, Craig is implicating Jason? - Yes, in order to reduce the sentence..
..Craig told the DEA, that Jason agreed to have the pills sent to the house,..
..and also has agreed to help sell them. - What?
Now Jason has denied both of these accusation. Do you believe them?
Of course I believe him. He would never be involved in anything like this.
Are we talking about probation here or
could he actually go to jail for this?
The mandatory minum laws are very simple.
The amount of jail time deppends upon
the amount of drugs. There are no mid..
Wait, what is that mean?
Jason is facing a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison.
10 years? - Are you out of your mind!
He just got accepted at collage.
John tell him.
Oh God..
Jason.
United States vs. Jason Collins.
how could they deny him bail? He's never even been arrested before.
You wanna know the truth?
I knew something like this would happen.
I figure if I just got him off to collage. But no.
Jason has no God damn idea what real responsibility mean.
Especially while still being baby all the time.
And when your own son doesn't want
have anything to do with you anymore?
Not true. - Not true?
That's not true at all.
It's just really hard for kids who go trough divorces.
I acted out when my father left.
Yeah well, he's not a kid anymore.
Not while he's sitting in that cell.
The springkler's on?
Is everything have to go to shit?
Here's the situation. It's very simple
You help them make traffic drug arrests..
And they will reduce your sentence from 10 years to 2.
1 suspended.
I told you. I don't know anyone else. Just Craig.
Bullshit.
Your mom told me she smellt marijuana of you before .
Where did you get that from, huh?
Jason, this is serious.
Come on honey,
you got to tell us who sold you the pot.
I didn't have to buy it.
Amanda's dad grows it.
He has medicinal lisence.
It's legal.
I just took some. I just wanted to try it.
OK. Are there any of your friend who do
drugs and might interested in selling?
What, you mean setting someone up ?
Like Craig did to me?
No Way.
You better wake up right now.
Because this is really happening.
You gonna take that plead
and you gonna help them make the arrest.
You hear me?
I'll take my chances in court.
No, you won't. If you do not work with the prosecutor..
..they can raise the minimum limits to 30 years.
Which means you'll be out in time for your 50th birthday.
And they are banning over 90% on convictions.
Jason, baby. Please listen to him.
We don't have another choice.
I'm not setting anyone up. - Baby. - I won't do it.
Yes you are.
Listen to me dammit!
You think you know what you're doing?
You have no idea until you spend the
next 10 years of your life in prison.
I'm not gonna let that happen to you, son.
You hear me?
You're not the one who have to do it.
Morning, John. I need to show you something.
This is a..
What a beaut ain't they?
And they say the other 2 will ready next month.
Great. I gotta make a phone call.
Terry, this is John Matthews.
Good.
We definitely gotta get out we'll hit a few. Very soon.
Let me ask you something?
Do you have a connection to Joanne Keeghan?
US attorney down town.
Mr. Matthews, you've got a lot of friends in this city.
I recieved 4 phone calls in matters of an hour.
I'm sure you'd do the same for your kids. I don't have any children.
Alright, well.
18 years old.
You must've had him when you're quite young.
Sophomore in collage. Me and his mom were highschool sweatheart.
Well, you have my sympathy.
But I believe in mandatory minimum laws.
We're fighting the world right now, not just on drugs.
But the violence they bring.
And we are losing badly, so it's time for all our sake we have to turn this around.
Ms. Keeghan I agree. I do.
But my son, Jason. He's not a drug dealer. He's a good kid.
And he just made really dumb naive mistake.
And he's willing to do anything he can to help out the situation.
The only drug dealer that he knows is..
Craig Johnson, who you allready have in custody.
I'm really sorry to hear that.
Please, There's gotta be something I could do.
The laws are design to preclude any special circumstances.
So it's really quite simple. We'll need your son help us make arrest..
..before we can help them reduce the sentence.
Which he can't do that, or isn't willing to do that..
..then there's really nothing we can do. I'm sorry.
And now I have to be somewhere else.
What if I did it for him? - What?
What if I help you make arrest?
It's not the way it works. - Please.
I just wanna help my son.
I understand, I really am sorry, but..
..my hands are tied. There's nothing I can do
Thank you for stoping by.
Hallo. / Hi.
You're here to see? - Jason Collins.
Just sign in.
Proceed to booth 3. / Thank you.
What happened?
Nothing.
Tell me. It's OK.
Talk to me son.
it's OK, tell me.
You remember when someone keep tipping and nagging your house?
That was me.
I would sit around the corner and laugh
I watch you try to clean it up.
Doesn't matter now, Jason.
The last time I did.
I didn't know you were out of town.
I felt like crap watching Elize do it herself.
So, I pretended I was stoping by.
I help her. - She told me.
I hated that you have to live in that big house and new family.
Me and mom are just stuck in that old one.
I wanted you to live with me.
I wanted you in my life.
It was my fault, not yours.
I was always gone. I was always on those trucks.
I was always working, got so caught up.
And I'm failing you as a father.
That's exactly what I did.
I should've never taken that packages, I know what was in it.
I should've just told the guy got the wrong address .
But I didn't, because me and Amanda wanted to try something.
But I swear to you dad, I would never ever..
.. I wasn't planning in helping to sell that stuff.
I'm not a drug dealer.
You believe me, right?
Of course I believe you.
And I know I should be punish..
..for what I did. But not like this.
Jason, don't cry.
Don't cry, Jason. Not in here.
Listne to me, Jason.
You gotta show me. You gotta stand up for yourself in here.
You have to.
I promise you, I'm gonna get you out of here.
How?
You just gotta trust me.
I love you.
What you want? - Coke.
Crack is whack, man. Who do you think you are, dude?
I just go to somebody else.
Look man, you really buying it? Money talks.
Get off me.
Give it back.
Cops are rolling!
What the hell were you thinking?
I'm sorry I threw your name down at the station.
Your son is not gonna be better off if you're dead.
Clearlly what I did last night didn't work out
Clearlly? - Please, what do I gotta do?
You are so stubborn. You're not gonna stop are you?
No. I'm not
Algirht. hypothetically,..
..I would need airthight arrest of someone in possesion of narcotics,..
..in the amount of constitute conspiracy to disribute.
If we're talking cocain, that would be
at least 500 gram or half a kilo.
What? - I'm in a construction bussines.
And we have ex-cons who are working the yard all the time.
Maybe someone knows someone who knows someone.
You're their boss. Why would they trust you?
Let me worry about that. Believe me, I am not worried.
Because the risk is all yours
Come on. I'll give you a lift No, thank you. But I'm good
I'm the boss. Get in.
How's the job treating you. In fact that I got a job.
I guess, I'm just trying to say thank you.
Me and my family really apreciate the opportunity.
It's gotta be hard for a..
..ex-con. That's why we're here?
You need to talk to me about my past?
I was completely honest on my aplication.
But if there's anything else..
No. That's it. That's not it
Couple of years ago I cought 2 of my drivers..
..they were transporting some stuff
They know that the cops rarely stop semis And even if they did,..
..sure as hell didn't have time to search.
They were low level small time.
I was hoping that someone with the connections into that world..
Are you accused me of something, sir?
You think I've done something?
No.
With all due respect sir. Why don't you just
go ahead and tell me what it is that you want from me.
An introduction.
I can't help you with that.
You give me info the right people I'll give you $ 5,000.
Something good come out of it, I'll give you another $ 5,000.
That's $ 10,000. - No, I can count.
Like I said, I can't help you with that.
Why not?
You see I'm on the track of my life again now
And I'm doing it for my family.
That's why I'm working like I do I sweat my ass everyday in that yard.
This conversation is just..
This conversation is a conspirascy alright.
And that can take me 25 to life.
I will act.. I'd aperiatce it
maybe we just pretend this never happens. OK?
I'll see you. I just need an introduction, OK.
Go home, be happy with what you got.
Thank you for the coffee.
Daniel!
$ 20,000.
I'll double it because of the risk you're taking.
Anthony, go inside. - Come on dad.

You know we can't, so don't say it.
Look man, I know it's hard.
At some times like this, I promise you..
One day we gotta move somewhere, And you gonna get real friends.
Real friends.
You ain't gotta proof nothing, you gotta do nothing for them.

And I'm willing to do whatever it takes to keep my bussiness afloat.
I've worked to hard for too long.

You know they weight them trucks at the state line.
How you gonna cover that?
We offset the weight. Counts off all the time.
If the police get lucky, they only get the driver.
We won't be there for the holding or unloading.
Sounded like you're ready for the game.
So, what are you talking player? - 15% whole sale.
I give nobody over 10%.
