The Free World

>> Don't be scared.

You gonna be okay.

I know it don't feel like it right now.

'Cause all you feel is afraid.

But you got me.

You didn't used to, but you do now.

See, I was where you was 67 days ago.

Mm-hmm.

They say it's bad to count, but..

You just get so used to it.

Sometimes I wish I was back.

I do. You'll see.

You miss things.

Things you never thought you'd miss.

They say the prophet

wouldn't want us talkin' like this.

'Cause you unclean.

But I'm unclean, too.

I think if he saw your suffering

the way he saw mine..

...I think he'd understand.

He saw it and lifted it right up.

You gonna be okay.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, I know. I know.

>> Mo, get me a cart!

Beatin' up on helpless animals!

That make you feel right?

>> Get outta my way. >> That is a life!

You hear me? That's a life.

>> It's a damn dog.

I'm gonna tell you again to get out of my way

before I move you.

>> So move me.

I'm callin' the cops!

>> Yeah, what can we do for you?

Oh, wait. Here comes the cavalry.

Hey. I know you, boy?

Hey, you're the Cyclops. >> Mo, just, get back inside.

>> Hey, hey. Come on back here.

Both of you, come on.

A little closer.

Ah! You're him, alright.

A free man.

After all this time now.

Tsk! It must really be something.

Hmm. You know, you got a felon on the books here.

You know that?

>> I do. But it ain't him.

>> Yeah. Innocent, my ass.

I don't care what the courts say.

You know, an innocent man

he don't do the things that you did in lockup.

>> Can you, please, just leave us alone?

>> I've seen what you done to those little girls.

I've seen the pictures.

>> He didn't do nothin'!

>> That's not what I heard.

No, that's not what I heard.

>> Not gonna make it, Mo.

Beat up too bad.

Punctured lung, internal bleeding.

We gotta help him pass. >> No, he gonna make it.

He'll make it.

>> We'll give him the night.

But if he's still suffering tomorrow

we gotta put him down.

>> Sh-shh. We're here.

>> You okay?

>> No, I ain't.

>> Don't listen to nobody.

Especially some good old boy with a badge.

First couple months are hard.

Gets easier.

>> Poor thing.

You alone can forgive sins

so grant me forgiveness and mercy.

Thank you for your call. You've reached Mohamed Lundy.

Um, I'm outside right now.

So, um, you can..

Hi. This is Mohamed.

I'm, I'm, I'm not here, so you can leave your..

You have reached Mohamed, and he's not here right now.

He's, um..

I bet you didn't sleep last night, huh?

My first night was hard, too.

Beat up. Scared of the noise.

They say you make it through that first night

and you can make it through any of 'em.

They got no saying for when you get out, though.

Hold on. Just..

Just hold on.

Shh. It's okay. You're alright.

>> You're okay, baby.

You're just tired.

You're just tired.

>> Mohamed?

It ain't right what he did to that dog.

But it happens.

Every last one of 'em, I wanna break their damn necks.

>> Ain't no rules out here.

Killed a helpless dog, ain't nobody does nothin'.

>> Things don't get settled the way they do on the inside!

Give it time.

Stuff starts to make more sense each day you're out.

>> We should bury him.

>> Disposal regulation. They'll give me hell.

>> Hey.

Hey!

Our drugs are locked up now.

Go out the way you came.

Ain't nobody got to know about this.

Huh?

>> ...Charlie

>> You need help? Want me to call you somebody?

>> Ma'am?

>> Whoa!

>> Why won't you.. >> Ma'am.

Ma'am, now, there's a van outside.

I'll get you anywhere you need to go if you're in trouble.

Hey, miss. Miss!

You gotta, you gotta stop here. >> You're gonna help me find him.

>> I can help you if you just..

>> You have to help me find him.

They didn't mean to.

>> They didn't mean to. >> Hey, now.

You're scaring me now. Don't..

Ma'am. Ma'am..

Hey. Hey, hey!

Hey. Hey. Hey.

Hey, ma'am. Ma'am, help me.

Hey, ma'am.

You alright? You alright?

Help, somebody!

Hey, I didn't..

...touch you, I didn't touch you.

I didn't touch you.

>> The lady from the Innocence Project called this morning.

Wanted to see how you're doin'.

Said you're doin' fine.

Workin' on your people skills.

You know, it strikes me you don't seem too happy.

To be out, I mean.

Most folks would be doing backflips

to have their names cleared like that.

Be outta Angola.

Breathin' fresh air like a real, live person.

Bury the past.

Or it'll bury you, boy.

You hear?

>> How you doin', ma'am?

Bismillah.

Now, you need to put that knife down.

>> You stay away from me!

Get outta my way! >> I'm gonna let you leave now.

You need to understand somethin' first.

>> Get outta my way! >> No, you need to know..

Listen to me! Listen to me!

Listen to me, listen.

I didn't hurt you, I didn't touch you.

I didn't touch you. And you asked me to help you.

Understand? You understand?

Now listen.. >> I'm not afraid of you!

>> You ain't gotta be afraid of me. No.

>> You get outta my way.

>> I, I, I will let you leave.

>> You get outta my way! >> I'm gonna let you leave!

But you, you need to know. I didn't hurt you.

It's very important. >> Who are you?

>> Nobody. Hang on.

>> You're one of them? You're one of his friends?

Yeah? You're one of his friends who watched me?

>> Oh, we never met! >> Who are you?

>> I work at the shelter. Yeah.

Dog shelter. You brought in that mutt got beat up real bad?

You know, in that pickup truck?

Charlie. Charlie, his name..

>> You, you know Charlie?

>> Yeah. That's, that's your dog.

>> I'm not, it's not happening.

>> Hey-hey-hey-hey. Lady, lady, stay with me now.

No-no, I didn't watch you, I didn't watch you.

Just calm down now. Now breathe. You get on.

That sound good?

Yeah? Alright.

Alright. Alright, now.

What's you name?

You can tell me. It's alright, it's okay.

>> Doris. >> Doris?

Doris, I'm, I'm Mohamed.

>> We drove here? >> That's right, we drove here.

I didn't know if you was in trouble

somebody's after you, but I, I just wanted to help you.

You asked me to help you. >> You didn't hurt me?

>> I didn't put a hand on you.

>> Then what do you want?

>> Nothin'.

No. You want just some water?

Get you some water. Yeah.

Here you go. Here.
