Mayor of Kingstown (2021) s04e01 Episode Script
Coming 'Round the Mountain

♪
[ALBERTO] Why do they
call him the mayor?
[VERA] Because he runs the city.
[ALBERTO] Wonder what the
real mayor thinks of that.
[BUNNY] It's always
been a war zone, Mike.
[GUNFIRE]
This is next-level.
[IAN] Callahan. He's
back in fucking Kingstown.
It's not good. For anyone.
We have to cut a deal
with the Colombians.
Get some clean supply.
If we need to go
back-to-back, Bunny's got you.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[MIKE] You made a big move
on Callahan, and you missed.
I'm fuckin' grenade-proof.
I can give him to you.
'Cause I'm clearing the table
and I'm giving it to you.
Your SWAT buddy kills with impunity.
And the one fucking guy who
calls him out winds up dead.
It just went down wrong, Mike.
[GRUNTS]
[NIMMO] It's hard to fire an employee
who's suffered as much as you.
[KAREEM] You want me to resign.
I can't.

- How could I miss you, Milo?
You never left. It's time to go.

- And I think we crossed it.
- Don't be so dramatic.
[GUNSHOT]
[IAN] Mike, we got a battle
on the Sixth Street bridge.
There's Crips, there's Russians.
[WAILING]
Drop your fucking gun!
No, they're innocent!
[RAPID GUNSHOTS]
Kyle shot Robert.
You gotta cut him loose, Evelyn.
Mike, I can't.
[MIKE] He's a cop.
Who shot another cop.

They stopped using copper in 1943.
It was crucial to the war effort.

Just need a John Hancock, Kyle.
Deal's two years.
You're gonna be out in six
months with good behavior, easy.
Yeah, I'll keep my nose clean.
It's a sprint, Kyle.
It's not a marathon. It'll go fast.
Turn yourself in to the county sheriff

- What? What's happening?
- Mike.
- D

- No, wait, that's Wait, wait.
There's no way my brother's
running the fucking gauntlet.
I tried to back-channel.
Foley shut me down, all right?
These are the terms, and-and,
Mike, they're nonnegotiable.
Nonnegotiable? That's some bullshit.
Kyle was facing 15 to 20, all right?
I got that knocked down
to assault with deadly

[MIKE] Yeah, what do you
want, a fucking gold star?
Mike, don't get caught
up on the cosmetic shit.
Get the fuck out of here.
This is not happening, Chester.
How many miracles I got
to conjure? All right?

I made a choice on that bridge, Mike.
I did it for the right reasons.
I can live with the consequences.
All right. I'm gonna meet
up with the warden today.
All right? Carney's
gonna be your shadow.
I'm gonna have the whole
place wired for you.

Ah.
I'm gonna see you tomorrow, okay?

This fucking train
decapitated these fuckers
just like a guillotine.
Beheading's over-the-top, man.
Far-fucking-sight more
complicated than a few bullets.
[IAN] Found syringes in the brush.
That means they fucking
doped these fuckers up.
- Yeah.
- And then then they walked 'em up,
put 'em on the rail here.
Okay.
Oh, Jesus Christ, Ian.
Come on.
Talk to the engineer?
[STEVIE] Uh, Keno picked him up

They didn't stop?
No, no, he fucking stopped,

Yeah, I get that. Jesus.

[HOBBS] I wish I was here
under happier circumstances,
but I am here.
And I know I can honor your brave work
and the memory of Kareem Moore.
Past ten years, I have
run five prisons
three state, two federal.
Michigan DOC hired me
because my track record's
as flawless as you'll find,
flawless because I fix
flawed institutions.
Anchor Bay is flawed.
Not an accusation, it's fact.
I'm gonna fix Anchor Bay.
Y'all are gonna help me.
Deputy Warden Torres is gonna
hand out work assignments.
We're mixing things up
for the better.
Have a blessed day.
That's all.

[TORRES] Weber, you're on C Block.
Warden?
Just wanted to say, I'm really
impressed with your résumé.
That's good to know. It's Carney, right?
Yes, ma'am, and I'm at your disposal.
I was pretty much Kareem's
right-hand man, so
And you offer that hand to me?
Yes, ma'am.
Carney, the closest thing
to Kareem's right-hand doesn't impress.
The man was unbalanced and inept.
The circumstances of
his death were tragic,
uh, fucking suspicious, but tragic.
He died trying to save an inmate.
[KEVIN] It's true, Warden.
He was a hero.
[HOBBS] Now, which Aryan was
the hero trying to rescue?
The man died in a blind
alley at the hand of racists.
And his wife got his death benefits,
so he's a hero to his family, surely.
Kareem may have been a good man,
but he had no place as warden.
And I will not abide
any lingering loyalty.
Well, you can't be loyal to a dead man.
Tell that to Jesus.
Jackson, walk with me.
[TORRES] Carney,
you're on the yard.
Of course the fuck I am.
Something I can do for you, ma'am?
That's you.
Must've been a trauma.
It-it was a-a tough day, yeah.
For sure. For sure.
Jackson, who signs your checks?
Ma'am?
Who issues your fucking paychecks?
- DOC.
- Correct.
And as the chosen
representative of the DOC,
I am who pays you
and who controls anything
you do inside these walls.
And now
outside.
You getting my subtext?
Think so, yeah.
That's all.

headless Muscovites?

All of the above.
So whoever hit the Russians
is making a statement.

Yeah, well, they got mine.
They should have yours.

Yeah.
What's going on with your set,
- all these young guns?
- I lost a lot
to the cemetery and the
penitentiary on that bridge.
Yeah, well, you might
lose some more, Bunny.
Whoever hit these Russians,
they'll come after you.
- Nah. [SNIFFLES]
- No?
I'm making moves, Mike.
Some ironclad shit.
- What moves you making?
- Just a little housekeeping, man.
Got to keep these

How long's that gonna last?

Can't do it at the

faking this is something it's not.

I understand.
You're going to prison for Robert.
How does that make any

Come on, Trace. I just
We talked about this already.
- I don't want to do this.
- It's tomorrow, Kyle.
It's here. Just tell the truth.
Tell the truth. How does
that violate your code?
How is that betrayal?
You saved a man's life.
That is the good that
comes from it, okay?
It is good.
So tell it, share it.
Tell them why you did it.
It's not gonna stop there, okay?
This is a house of fucking cards, Trace.
And I can't be the reason
that it comes falling down.
Whose house of cards, Kyle?
It's six months. Okay?
It's six months. We

Come on. Tracy.
You have to trust me, okay?
It's gonna go by fast. Please.
[KYLE] All right.
You've got Ruben's number?
I have the number.
Okay, well, I mean, he overcharges,
but there's nothing he can't fix.
If anything breaks, you just
- Hey. Look at me.
- [SLOW, SAD MUSIC]
- Come on.
- Now look at your son.
I don't want to fight.
You can never be a cop again.
I don't want to be.
Okay, I do this, and
then we are fucking gone.
That is the silver lining here.
We sell this house, we leave Kingstown,

that comes from this, babe.
