At Fox River Penitentiary, Jesse Barksdale and D'justin Barksdale meet in the hallway.
D'justin walks past Jesse.
Jesse Barkdale
Yo, D.
D'justin turns around looks back at Jesse, uninterested.
Jesse Barkdale
Yo, we need to talk about getting out of this consolation bracket.
About shaving these years off our bid.
Not just for me, but for you too.
D'justin Barksdale
Look man.
I know you got some shit planned, like you always do.
But I don't want no part of what you do no more.
You wanted me to carry this, so I'm carrying it.
So just leave me the fuck alone.
D'justin walks off.
"I got the shotgun, you got the briefcase.
It's all in the game though, right?" - Victor Oumar
Det. Joyce
You wanted to talk?
So talk.
Victor Oumar
Heard y'all put the boy Barksdale behind bars.
Victor Oumar visits the SCGD unit with a special offer.
Det. Joyce
We've arrested him.
His season is pretty much over.
Don't see how he can make the playoffs now.
Victor Oumar
But y'all let Stringer walk?
Det. Joyce
We haven't gotten to Stringer yet.
His playoff chances are still alive.
But we do have one of his former Fantasy players scheduled to appear in court.
We're looking for witnesses to testify against him in the Miss Jackson murder.
Victor Oumar
I'm your man.
Det. Joyce
You?
You saw Doug Martin kill Miss Jackson?
Victor Oumar
Yep.
Det. Joyce
And you're willing to testify in open court?
This isn't the same as the wire.
Everyone will know you're testifying against Kenneth Bell.
Victor Oumar
Sure do.
I already told you, Oumar don't scare.
It's either play or get played.
Det. Joyce
Sounds personal between you and Barksdale.
Victor Oumar
Oh, indeed.
*Commercial*
*Commercial*
In court, Victor Oumar walks in to testify against Doug Martin.
He gestures a gun towards Kenneth Bell.
Kenneth Bell
Whispering:
Faggot.
Det. Tai walks in to watch the court proceeding.
Kim Wexler
Mr. Oumar, could you please state your name for the record.
Victor Oumar
Victor Oumar Little.
Kim Wexler
And what is it that you do for a living, Mr. Oumar?
Victor Oumar
I rip and run.
Kim Wexler
You...?
Victor Oumar
I rob drug dealers.
The jury laughs.
Kim Wexler
Mr. Oumar, how does someone rob drug dealers and live to tell about it?
Victor Oumar
Day to time, I suppose.
Kim Wexler
And do you know the defendant, Doug Martin?
Victor Oumar
Sure do.
Saw him the day of the shooting.
He was holding that 380 in his hands when he shot Miss Jackson.
Det. Tai
Hell of a witness, huh?
Kenneth Bell turns around and finds Det. Tai sitting behind him.
Kenneth Bell
Word on the street is, Oumar was no where near them rises when shit popped.
Streets say, he was on the North side robbing some Chinatown dealers.
Det. Tai
That's the word on the streets huh?
Problem is, we ain't on the streets, String.
We're in a court of law.
Maurice Levy
Possession of a hand gun, possessing a concealed weapon.
Assault by pointing, robbery.
Deadly weapon, violation of parole.
Followed by one count of attempted murder.
And you testify that you rob drug dealers.
This is what you do.
Victor Oumar
Yes sir.
Maurice Levy
You walk the streets of San Francisco.
With a gun, taking what you want, when you want it.
Willing to use violence when your demands aren't met.
This is who you are.
Maurice Levy
Why should we believe your testimony?
Why should we believe anything you say?
Victor Oumar
That's up to y'all really.
Maurice Levy
You say, you're aren't here testifying against the defendant because of any deal you made with the police.
That' you're here because you want to tell the truth about what happened to Miss Jackson?
Victor Oumar
Yup.
Maurice Levy
When you are, in fact, the type of person who would gun down someone in the housing project and lie to the police about it, would you not?
Victor Oumar
Ay look, I ain't never put my gun on no citizen.
Maurice Levy
You are amoral, are you not?
You are feeding off the violence and despair of the Fantasy Game.
You are stealing from those who themselves are stealing from the lifeblood of our city.
You are a parasite who leeches off...
Victor Oumar
Just like you, man.
Maurice Levy
... Excuse me? What?
Victor Oumar
I got the shot gun, you got the briefcase.
It's all in the game though, right?

*Commercial*
Det. Minh
This could be it detective.
Perhaps your first playoff appearance in the WCC.
Det. Howard
Well you know, it's best not to get ahead of myself.
But I think it's safe to say that this has been my best season ever.
Det. Minh
Give credit where credit is due.
You really crafted your team well this season.
All that time spent in the offseason preparing for the Fantasy Draft really paid off.
You're a hell of a Fantasy Manager.
Det. Howard
Thanks.
And who knows, maybe I can actually do some good in the playoffs.
Maybe I'll see you there, Minh.
Later that day, Det. Minh visits D'justin Barksdale.
Det. Minh
D'justin.
This is it for you.
Last chance to get out of the consolation bracket.
May I ask why you decided to revoke your testimony?
D'justin Barksdale
Look, my decision is my decision.
It don't matter how came to it.
I'm taking full responsibility for my actions and I'm gonna live with the consequences.
Ain't nobody make me go to Oakland, nobody make me take the package.
Det. Minh
Yeas, but they made you turn down the deal.
Did they threaten you?
Because we can protect you.
We can move you out of Fox River, away from your cousin.
Move you to the same facility as Tekashi.
We're here to help.
D'justin Barksdale
Are you?
Look, there ain't nothing else to talk about.
Leave me be.
I'll do my time.
Julian Edelman
Regular season is winding down.
Think we've done one hell of a job this year.
The Baugh
It doesn't feel like it.
Barksdale got off easy.
Rocksonberg is gone.
Kenneth Bell is still out there.
Julian Edelman
Well, we still have the playoffs.
Maybe we finally win it this year.
The Baugh
You're right.
We still have work to do.
Something tells me, the SCGD unit is turning on us.
We may need to take appropriate action come playoff time.
For now, we need one more win.
Narrator
With the regular season winding down,
playoffs spots are up for the taking.
Narrator
With only two spots clinched thus far,
Victor Oumar and Det. Joyce stand by waiting for the rest of the field to settle.
In a tumultuous season that seeds #3 through #11 separated by 1 game,
this is perhaps the closest race to FantasyMania in league history.
Narrator
It is truly anyone's game with 9 Fantasy Managers still in the running and only 4 playoff spots remaining.
A season marred by inconsistencies,
this final week of the regular season can shift the dynamic of the entire league.

All roads lead to Sunday.
The path to FantasyMania ends this weekend.
