PSYCHOLOGIST:
"On your way home from work

"you stop at the shopping mall

"to pick up some dinner.

"As you walk past
a restaurant

"you catch a glimpse
of your partner

"with another man or woman.

"They are kissing publicly
and very passionately.

"Up until this moment

"you believed
your relationship was stable,

"loving and committed.

"A. I don't feel
angry at all.

"B. I feel slightly annoyed.

"C. I feel moderately angry.

"D. I feel very angry.
E. I feel furious.

"At a karaoke night,
your friends..."

(MAN EXHALES)

(CLEARS THROAT)

Yeah.

I know.

Let's do it differently.

Um...

Let me be more specific.

You've been in isolation
in Ely State Prison

and you've just been
transferred here,

back into isolation again.

What do you think
about that?

As I said, this is your
pre-classification meeting,

so that we can discover
what options are available to you

as you enter back
into the general population.

Is there a vocation
you're interested in?

Would you like
to resume your education?

It's just... It's real easy
to get lost in the system.

Especially when
you come into a new facility,

and, you know,
you're not from around here.

I'm just trying to find out
what's important to you.

Is your freedom
important to you?

Is that something
you think about?

Are you listening to me
at all, Mr. Coleman? (CHUCKLES)

- Yeah.
- "Yeah" what?

Yeah, you're listening?
Or yeah, your freedom's important to you?

- I'm listening.
- Okay, thank you.

Just get me back there.

- PSYCHOLOGIST: Hey, hey, hey, hey! What?
- (ALARM BLARING)

It's okay, thank you.
Sit down!

Sit down. Sit down!

I get it. You feel like
you have no control in here.

I get it.
I understand that.

I am giving you
some control.

That's what this is.

And like it or not, you're gonna be
reintegrated into the general population.

Hmm. I'm not good
with people.

All right.

I can get you into the outdoor
maintenance program then.

And while you're there,

you'll have the opportunity
to reflect on where you wanna be.

(PAPERS RUSTLING)

How long you been

Huh?

I'm talking to you.
Yeah, right.

How long you been here?

You can make a sound, right?
You can speak?

- Yeah, I can.
- Okay. What's your name?

I told you, sir.
It's Coleman Roman.

Coleman Roman is your name?

That's a joke, right?

(MAN SNIGGERING)

Shut up, Henry.
It's not funny.

He's got a name.
It's just backwards.

- You ever rode a horse?
- No, sir.

5:00 a.m. tomorrow morning.

No, I'm just here
for maintenance.

No, sir. You're not here
for maintenance.

You're here to do
what I decide you're gonna do.

And here's the drill.

If you can stay in there
for more than five seconds,

you're in the program.

Get it?
And you're in charge.

Get him fed, get him water
and get him calmed down.

(MAN WHISTLING)

HENRY: Your boots,
Mr. Coleman.

Yeah, they go
on your feet.

(HENRY LAUGHS)

Fellas, fellas, fellas,
good morning, good morning, good morning.

INMATE 1: Just in time. What up?
HENRY: What's up? What's up?

Mikey. How you feeling?
All right?

INMATE 2: Oh, good morning.
HENRY: Good morning, good morning.

INMATE 3: Whoo!
Hey, did you get that...

(MEN LAUGHING)

MAN: What's up? What's up?

HENRY: Hey, man, what's up?
How you been? Top of the morning.

ROBERTO: Ah, ah, ah,
got the boots on.

HENRY: Oh, yeah, don't worry,
you'll get used to it.

INMATE: Nice boots.

Pop your cherry today, homeboy.
Walking a little funny.

- (LAUGHS) That's definitely not their first rodeo.
- (MAN WOLF WHISTLES)

ROBERTO: Cute in that orange.

HENRY: He's fucking with you, man.
He's fucking with you.

The whole purpose of this program is
to learn how to break these wild horses

and turn them
into some horse of value

that can be auctioned off
in the next 12 weeks.

It pays to keep this program
running, and ultimately,

(HORSE WHINNIES)

our rehabilitation.

And ironically enough,
the police buy most of them.

That horse is crazy.

He's really spooking out
right now.

Why's that?

I don't know.
Why don't you ask him? You ready?

- (HORSE WHINNIES)
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Get back.

Hey, listen up.
'Cause I'm the best trainer in here.

See this?
This is your hand.

You always wanna
control your hand.

What you wanna do
is find an opening, you know?

Get him going.

Hey, hey. You just wanna
get him going.

And make sure
you stay in the center.

All right? Make him
move around you.

Come on.

Now, normally,
when you start a new horse,

you can keep him right along
the fence like he is right now.

Because they're trying to keep
as much space as they can away from you.

All right? Now the first thing
you wanna do

is just establish direction.

Get him going one way
and then send him the other way.

And after you get that
down pat,

you can start working
on the hook and the draw.

Or as I like to call,
"the touch."

All right?

Like I said,
respect his space, okay?

And he'll respect yours.

And never look him
in the eye.

Get your ass in here.

Come on, man.
We ain't got all fucking day.

- (EXHALES)
- Don't forget the stick.

All right.

(GRUNTS)

Whenever you're ready,
Roman Coleman.

(HORSE SNORTING)

(HORSE WHINNIES)

Hips, Roman.

- What about them?
- Your shit is tight.

You need to loosen it up a little bit
if you wanna connect with him, all right?

I bet you don't have
one good fucking dance move.

(HENRY LAUGHS)

Oh, this is gonna be
fucking great.

Where you going?
Where you going?

All right, look.
Drop the stick. Fuck the stick.

- (STICK CLATTERS)
- Put your hands up, all right? Establish a boundary.

Now tell your horse
to back off!

Back off.

- With your body.
- Back off. Back the fuck off.

- (HORSE WHINNIES)
- You're acting like a bitch right now, Roman.

- Tell him to back off.
- Back off!

Back off!

- With your body, Roman. Come on.
- Well, back the fuck off!

(HORSE WHINNIES)

(HENRY LAUGHS)

It's good, Roman Coleman,

but if you wanna control your horse,
first you gotta control yourself.

Yeah. You be the boss.
You got it, Roman.

Just keep working
on them dance moves. Hips!

Go over there.
Go over there, man.

Yeah, come on,
move it.

- There you go.
- Come on.

You're really not that bad
for a first time.

I'm actually
pretty proud of you.

HENRY: I looked up and that motherfucker
just ran straight over me.

Then I look back up

and I got 15 horse cocks
swinging in my fucking face.

You actually have
to be on the horse, man.

You spend more time on the ground
than you do on your horse.

(LAUGHS) Fuck you, Tom.

Have you seen T-Bird?
That motherfucker's a maniac.

He's not one of the lazy,
squishy donkey types.

What, man?

ROMAN: I'm just listening.
ELIJAH: Hey, what's your name again?

Roman.

- You got the new horse, right?
- Yeah.

- (HENRY LAUGHS)
- Ooh! The new horse!

(ALL LAUGHING)

When I first saw T-Bird
I was like,

"I pity the fool that gotta ride
that motherfucker!"

Happened to be me.
GUARD: Time's up!

(ALL LAUGH)

Come on, man. You know we got like
three more minutes in here.

- GUARD: You're done. Time's up!
- All right, all right!

What you looking at, man?

All you need to be looking at
is them hips, shoulders,

hips, shoulders,
hips, shoulders.

Work on them dance moves, man.
You'll be all right.

(INMATES TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

INMATE: Hey, man.
What's up?

- Hey.
- Hey there.

Hey, how you feeling?
Any better?

INMATE 2: What up, dawg?

DAN: What's up?

(HENRY WHISTLING)

That's a soldier, too.

He's got the crazy eye.

(MAN YELLING INDISTINCTLY)

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)

I already signed that.

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)

You forgot to initial.

Emancipation?
What the fuck is that?

I found a job, I have a boyfriend
and I'm ready to leave.

Just sign.

My boyfriend's a mechanic.

He's opening up
a garage in Atlanta

and I'm gonna work there
as a receptionist.

PHOTOGRAPHER: Hey there. Would you guys
like your photo taken today?

Yeah, sure.

- That'd be great.
- No, not really, man.

Yeah, it'd be great.

Thank you.
PHOTOGRAPHER: All right, come with me.

- Come with me.
- Come on, Dad.

If you're all set,
then why do you need this?

I'm selling Grandma's house
in Bakersfield,

but I can't
unless you sign.

All right, now don't look
at the camera.

Just look at my finger
over here.

Okay. You can even smile,
if you like.

Take your picture, man.

You can't sell
the house.

I need to sell
the house.

PHOTOGRAPHER: Great.

Just one more. Hold on.

Uh, maybe you turn
and face each other a little bit.

- Great.
- Yeah, we're done.

That's a nice one.

I need the money
to raise this baby.

So he got a daddy?

Well, I ain't
the Virgin Mary.

So why doesn't he take care
of the baby then?

What do you know about
taking care of a baby?

What do you know about
taking care of anything?

- That house is mine.
- Lower your voice.

It belongs to me.
Grandma left it to me.

No, she left it to us.

- Really?
- Yeah.

And you need it here?

Here, where your clothes
are washed,

your meals are served.

You have a bed.

Shit, you're even tan.

You're a dependent
of the state

and it's like you're on
permanent fucking vacation.

Shut the fuck up!

(ROBERTO LAUGHING)

TOM: I think you'd marry
that horse if you could.

Don't worry, homie.
Your secret's safe with me.

You should've seen him
propose earlier, man.

Hey, I think you already got engaged,
homie. Straight up!

HENRY: Whoa, man,
I ain't even playing.

Ooh, someone's mad.

Roman!

Hey, Roman!

Roman!

MYLES: You know, riding a mustang,
that's the easy part.

The hard part

is getting your hands on him
in the first place.

Isn't that right, Coleman?

Why don't you
come on over here

and get in there
and calm him down?

- I'm not getting in there.
- Do it.

And not only do it,
get it done. Go.

(HORSE HUFFING)

Don't forget your stick.

As soon as he turns around,
you get in there.

Come on. Come on.

Now get his attention.

Behave yourself.

(HORSE NEIGHS)

Push him back.

Hang in there, Roman!
You're doing great.

Come on. Yeah, that's it.
Come on, you stop now.

Come here, come here.

- You stop. You stop. Just stop!

You're all right. Relax.

Coleman!

You're back.

If you ever
hit another horse,

I'm gonna see you do 10 years
in a psychiatric ward.

- You got that?
- I do, sir. Thank you.

You earned that.

We've got four weeks
before the auction.

Let's see if you
and your horse can catch up.

- How's your horse?
- Doing all right.

Do the Macarena!

Hey, bud.

(HORSE SNORTS)

It's me.

Come here.

What the fuck?

Look like somebody's
mad at you today, huh?

He won't listen.
He won't let me approach him.

I wouldn't let you approach me either,
motherfucker.

All right, cowboy, look.
Jump in the middle.

It's real simple.

When both ears are pointing one way,
to the front,

he's happy.

When they're both pointing to the back,
he ain't so happy.

You see his ears?

Just tell me what to do,
all right?

You gotta be
patient, man.

You gotta be patient
if you wanna get your hands on him.

(HENRY LAUGHING)

It's a real nice horse you got here, man.
What'd you name him?

I haven't named him yet.

Everybody need a name, Roman.

It might be the reason
he's not coming when you call him.

I read something
about a guy

who could gallop
so slow,

it took him an hour
to go 300 yards.

That's the whole story?
That's slower than that mule over there.

- That's very unimpressive.
- No, no, no.

It's about
controlling strength.

He was using silk reins.

- Silk reins?
- Yeah.

Okay.

The guy's name was Marquis.

(HORSE WHINNIES AND SNORTS)

(CHUCKLES) Look alive!
We got happy ears.

Marquis.

Now that you've figured
that part out,

you might as well go ahead
and jump in the middle.

All right?

Be on his time. And remember
what I told you about your shoulders?

You gotta loosen up.
You gotta loosen up.

What's up?
INMATE: What's up, man?

What's up?

INMATE 2: I think so, boss.
I think so.

(HORSE SNORTS AND NEIGHS)

You turn
your back on me?

I'm tired, man.

And you're tired, too. So...

Now let's do it.

Come on. Please.

Please stay there.

Please, come on.

Come on, please!
Come on, stay there, man!

Just fucking listen to me!

Hey, stay here.

(GRUNTS)

(ALL CHEER)

Oh, my God.
What a business.

But to really
get his attention,

you gotta use your hands.

Attaboy, Coleman.
You're getting it.

The horse needs to feel
you and him are in sync.

Whoa! Easy, easy,
easy, easy, easy.

Come on, keep going.

Looks like
he's ready to ride.

- Really?
- Yeah.

But loosen the rein
on his neck.

That's good.
Right there is perfect.

Right there is perfect.
Keep going. Keep going.

That's it.

It's balance.
It's all about balance

and not getting discouraged.

TOM: Good job out there.
Way to stick with it.

Thanks, man.
ELIJAH: Yeah, man. Great work, man.

Thanks.

He thought
I didn't see that shit.

Hey, man,
what'd I tell you?

Hips, shoulders,
hips, shoulders, baby.

You still can't fucking dance,

but you might be a cowboy in no time,
let me tell you. (LAUGHS)

You know, it won't fucking kill
you to smile, man.

That shit's free.
It don't cost nothing.

(LAUGHS)

- GUARD: Pop three!
- (DOOR BUZZES)

Hey, bud.

How's the farm?
How are you?

I heard somebody's
smuggling the ketamine.

None of my business.

Now it is.

Your daughter's real pretty.

We wanna taste that dope
on Monday morning.

(MEN TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

What's your problem, man?

MAN: Huh?

INMATE 1: Trying to get
a fight for that?

INMATE 2: What the fuck
you doing that for?

You better

(GUARD BLOWS WHISTLES)

a fetus can suck its own thumb?

Pretty crazy, ain't it?

There are guys out there
who know where your daughter lives.

She wasn't hard to find.

Sleep tight, John Wayne.

MYLES: The auction's in two weeks!
You gotta be ready.

(HORSE NEIGHS)

Stay in sync with him!

What?

MYLES: Stay in sync with him!

If you pull back,
he's gonna stop.

If you spur him,
he's gonna go.

Make up your fucking mind.

That's it.
Now you got it, God damn it.

There you go.

There you...

Why do you spur him?

Why do you spur him?

- God damn it, don't pull his head back!
- (ROMAN GROANS)

That's it.

That's all?

Yeah, I'm not
the only one doing this.

You're gonna have to wait
a week or two.

That's not gonna work.

MYLES: Coleman,
stop pulling and pushing.

He doesn't know what message
you're trying to send him,

to stop or go forward.

That's good. Now, that's it. Stop.
Now go forward. Move him forward.

Move him forward!

Now you're getting it.

Now you got it.

Straighten up, cowboy.

Now you got it.
Now you got it!

God damn it,
who knew? (LAUGHS)

I got the touch!
I got it!

- INMATE: That's right, bro. You got it.
- Did you see that?

I got it.

You're following me?

(ROMAN CHUCKLES)

All right.

Go there.

Come on. What did I tell you?
Go there.

- Huh?

Why are you
not listening to me?

Give me some space.

That's it.
Give me some space.

PSYCHOLOGIST: Welcome to today's
restorative justice session,

otherwise known
as anger management.

I wanna
commend you all again

for making
the courageous decision

to understand
and address

the harm that you caused
the victims of your crimes.

And welcome to our new participant,
Roman Coleman.

Roman, thank you
for making the choice to come.

Today, our goal
is to experience empathy,

to understand the power
of an apology,

and to be open to our faults.

Who would like to start?

Remember,
this is a safe space.

You guys have already made
a lot of headway here.

I got, uh, 10 years
for manslaughter.

PSYCHOLOGIST: And how long
from the thought of the crime

to the actual crime?

(SIGHS)

About a second.

PSYCHOLOGIST:
About a second?

Seventeen years
for strong-arm robbery.

Eighteen years.

PSYCHOLOGIST: For what?

For first-degree murder.

Since I was 14.

And how long
from the thought of the crime

to the actual crime?

(INHALES AND EXHALES DEEPLY)

Uh, well,
just spontaneous.

Ten seconds.

Five seconds.

Twenty-two seconds.

About three seconds.

PSYCHOLOGIST: How long
have you been in prison?

Twelve years.

And how long
from the thought of the crime

to the actual crime?

A split second.

(HANDCUFFS JANGLING)

Thanks for coming.

It was nice
what you wrote to me.

So what is it
you wanna tell me?

I'm working outdoors
with horses.

- Horses?
- Yeah.

The ones you see
on your way in here.

I'm riding them.
I'm training them.

We got this auction thing
coming up next week.

I'd like you to come.

Sounds fun.

I think you'd like him.

His name is Marquis.
That's my horse.

You think riding horses
can change anything?

I'm gonna
ask you something.

Something I don't deserve.
I know that.

I want you
to hear me out.

What's that?

There are so many things

I've been wanting to say
for such a long time.

I'm not who I used to be.

Whatever happened
was an accident.

(VOICE BREAKING)
I never meant to hurt her.

(TEARFULLY)
And whatever I've done,

you'll always
be my baby girl.

I'm listening.

Come on,
sit down, sit down.

I don't remember everything.

She flushed
my party stuff

down the drain.

She was looking out for me
and I didn't see it like that.

She started yelling.

I started yelling.

We got into a fight,

and we're running around
the house.

And she hit me.

I hit her back.

I was so angry.

So I hit her head
against the sink,

until her skull cracked.

- I was a kid...
- I was a kid.

You left me alone
to take care of my mom.

To dress her and feed her,
and wipe her ass,

and give her
her medicine every day.

Do you know
what that was like?

Do you know
what that was like?

I love you.

I love you so much.
(SOBBING)

You'll never know.

One day, someday,
I'll make it up to you.

I promise.

(HOOVES POUNDING)

MYLES: I just wanna
say to all of you,

we're not training
these horses

for little kids' birthday
parties and pony rides.

Some of these horses
are gonna go

and protect the United States
border down there.

So you gotta get them
used to racing and chasing.

Got it?
INMATES: Yes, boss.

Tell you what, man. You see my cousin,
you run the other way, all right?

MYLES: Come on,
we're out of here, Thomas.

Proud to work with you.

If you can wait outside, that'd be cool.

Have a seat.

See there?

Forty-two years ago,
me in the saddle.

(LAUGHS)

You wanted to see me, sir?

'Cause they're shutting
the program down.

I'm really sorry, sir.

You're sorry?

Jesus Christ,
don't tell me you're sorry.

Go out there and tell your horse
you're sorry!

'Cause when the vet gets here,

(SIGHS) he's gonna
put him down!

- What are you talking about?
- That surprises you?

You have
to remember something.

I've worked with horses
a long goddamn time.

And some you can break,

and some you can't.

And you know
what else is a real shame?

The humpty dumpty way they put
that goddamn fence back together again.

With adhesive tape!

Just like on your head.
Adhesive tape!

To mend a fucking fence?
Jesus Christ!

ROMAN: I'm not going anywhere!
I'm not going anywhere.

I promise, I'm not going anywhere!
GUARD: On your knees.

Put your hands
on your head!

Onto the ground!

MARTHA: When I was six,

I, uh started to write letters
of support to your parole board.

But your parole
was always denied, so...

I thought it was my fault
that you were still in prison.

Because I wasn't
a good enough writer.

Then when I got older,

I understood.

You didn't wanna get out.

So I stopped writing.

I kept one of those letters.

"My dad is fun.

"Send him back home."

(CRYING SOFTLY)

Next time I'll bring Martin.

He's your grandson.
