"You know what you did," Dakila says.
"I thought you're kind didn't snitch," Cade says.
"What does that even mean?" Selene scoffs.
"What counts is that you both will be punished."
"I took one for the team," I say.
"I'm surprised by your decision, Cade. You're the team captain. You should have known better," Dakila says.
"I don't want to do this anymore," Cade says.
"The redemption?" Selene asks.
"Drug dealers has caused me nothing but trouble. I'm retiring." Genesis says.
"It doesn't work like that. You're her drug-dealer, even if it was only once."
"Will the others get away with their indiscretions?" Cade asks.
"There are others?" Dakila asks.
"It's true," Lamar walks.
"The tapes say it all," Trixie comes in behind Lamar.
"Who else?" Dakila asks.
"Don't be shy now," Trixie says.
"Show yourselves," Lamar says. "Tell us what you did."
Ado reveals herself. "We were sneaking out."
"We were racing," Octavius frowns.
"Who drove that speed boat?" Trixie demands.
"Talk if you want to be redeemed," Lamar says.
"It was a local," Octavius says.
"Where can we find this local?" Dakila asks.
"He's coming this Wednesday at eight o' clock," Octavius sighs.
"He did it for me," Ado defends.
"Another team captain misbehaving. Your supervisors were mistaken in choosing you," Dakila says.
"What's going to happen to us?" Ado asks.
"We're not done with the purge," Lamar says.
"There are two others," Trixie and Lamar leave
"You have no idea how it feels," Octavius says.
"I never want to find out," Dakila responds.
"I said that I'll stop," Cade says.
"You should have stopped two years ago," Dakila says.
"I asked him for it. It's my fault," Selene says.
"No, he should have reported you. He's at fault too," Dakila says.
"Don't you want us to take responsibility?" Ado asks.
"I want you to be responsible also," Dakila says.
Lamar comes in with Khan. "Here's one."
"Here's the other," Trixie drags Chanel in.
"What did they do?" Dakila asks.
"We went fighting." Ado has a bruises.
"I arranged it," Khan says.
"You maggots are ungrateful and undeserving," Dakila says.
"I couldn't stand it," Chanel says.
"That's the only thing that I have to look forward to," Khan says,
"You should be looking forward to the redemption," Dakila says.
