Duke, angered by the response Mike gave, slams on the wooden board where the window office once was. Duke tells Mike that it was the Crips' fault on how the Crips themselves made a deal they couldn't keep. Duke warns Mike on how the problem will exteriorly escalate. The problem won't just be inside the prison; but on the streets. Duke threatens the correctional officers that they will get shanked in their living rooms, the officers will remember who runs the prison. Mike continues and warns Duke that he should stop thinking and expressing the way he currently is about the officers, he continues again saying that the problem won't be in the streets due to the National Guard being called in if the problem spirals out of control. Duke tells Mike to tell the officers to lift the lockdown on the prison or else.

Mike tells Duke that no, no they won't; the correctional officers let the Aryans sell drugs, make meth in their cells, they also let them trick punks. because it's easier not to fight the Aryans.
