 Cellmate at the Santa Barbara prison, Jesse is the
first one to make become aware of the life which is going to live Cruz
Castillo in San Quentin : for a former policeman, the life over there
will be terrible. Jesse does not hesitate to talk to him about his own
experience. Condemned three years ago to fifteen years of prison for an
armed robbery, he is ready for anything to escape. He already ran away
once, but he was caught up before crossing the Mexican border where his
family was waiting for him. To try to convince Cruz to join his project,
he entrusts him that he prefers capital punishment rather than life
imprisonment.
Jesse's words eventually convince Cruz. He is ready to
accept Eden and Cain's plan : to escape during Kelly and Jeffrey's
wedding.
As Cruz does not want to try his luck, Jesse chooses to
seize the opportunity alone. He calls a guard so that he accompanies
Cruz to the lie detector. Then, he makes district attorney Keith Timmons
come to him and takes him as hostage. Surrounded by other police
officers, Jesse has no more choice. Cruz succeeds in saving Keith,
before that a police officer shoots Jesse down.
It is to thank him for his intervention that Keith eventually agrees Eden's
request : Cruz will attend Kelly and Jeffrey's wedding, under guard,
just before being transferred to Saint Quentin State prison.
