♪
Somebody took out Carney.
[KYLE] My sole fucking lifeline
just got whacked, Mike.
[MIKE] It's not for you to worry, Kyle.
So what am I supposed to do now?
[MIKE] I got other ways
to get your back in here.
C.O. Doug Carney he was a friend.
It happened off campus,
has nothing to do with my prison.
We are working with KPD.
[MIKE] They're gonna
turn over every stone.
- I see.
- [IAN] What are you saying,
the warden's dirty or what?
Anybody fucking with Carney
is fucking with Kyle and
that's fucking with me.
Bunny's moving weapons.
He gonna want to protect it.
What I offer you
is cross-border transport.
When something's marked for disposal,
stops existing.
Nobody ever asks why something
didn't make it to the landfill.
What the fuck are you
doing, going after Evelyn,
in public, in broad daylight?
I had fucking business there.
And she got up in my fucking face.
[MIKE] Everything you're doing
is preventing you from coming back.
You understand that? So
stop fucking engaging.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
- Seen Bunny lately?
- No. Why?
Well, we found some of his guys.
Cartel's planting a fucking flag.
I'm taking flesh, blood and bone.
And you let me take that burden.

[PHONE BUZZING]
Somebody better be dying or dead.
Mikey, everybody's fucking dead here.
The whole Colombian squat's up in smoke.
I got dead cartel, I got
two dead fucking hitters.
And they used a goddamn flamethrower.
Uh, good morning to you, too, Ian.
I'll be there.
Oh, sorry.
No, it's [COUGHS]
- Morning.
- [LAUGHS] Morning.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]

No, you don't have to.
Sta You can stay.
No, I'm good.
Got to feed my kids.
I can put on a pot of coffee for you.
No, no, I'm good. Thanks.
[EXHALES]
[MIKE] Okay.
- Are you good?
- Yeah.
Sorry I got to go.
It's, uh, some work stuff
I got to take care of.
Fucking flamethrowers.
Pretend you didn't hear that, huh?
[CHUCKLES] Yeah. Hear
no evil, see no evil.
Yeah.
- I wish.
- [CINDY CHUCKLES]
You think you could, uh,
lock up for me when you leave?
- Yeah.
- I appreciate that.
[SIGHS]
Jesus.
All right. Well, look, Cindy, um
I'll call you.

- Cat.
He's diabetic. Needs his shot.
- Since when?
- Since always. I told you that.
I'd remember that.
No, Stevie, I told you that.
You don't listen.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[KENO] Hey, Mike.
What's up, Keno?
- Buenos días.
- Yeah.
Fucking Colombians, Mikey.
This is no goddamn joke.
They're not fucking around.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Okay.
[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]
Mikey, they fucking
They commandeered
half the goddamn block.
- [MIKE] Mm.
- I count six dead.
Mikey, I don't know how many got out.
Yeah, well, how many coming in, Ian?
It's like a military staging area.
The two hitters out front are not local.
Out of Detroit.
Mikey, you knew this was going down.
You had us pull
surveillance. What the fuck?
Uh, sometimes I have
to compartmentalize.
Fuck you, you're like
my fucking girlfriend.
[STEVIE] Hey. What? We can't help
if we don't know what's going on, Mikey.
[IAN] Mikey, Bunny can't be fucking
blowing up whole fucking city blocks.
I know. Look, it's not
just Bunny, though. Okay?
He's partnered up.
With Frank Moses.
Ah, fuck.
Yeah, he took out the
Russians down by the tracks.
[IAN] What is he,
Stevie, like a hundred?
Jesus Christ.
[STEVIE] Uh, something like that.
- Hey, Mikey.
- [MIKE] Yeah.
He may look like a deacon,
but he's the devil in disguise.
Yeah, well, I've met the devil.
I know what he is. So does Bunny.
Look, this partnership is
out of convenience for him.
All right? And with the cartel in town,
maybe for us, too, right?
We got to find this fucking sicario kid.
If he isn't torched.
Well, somebody executed
those two hitters outside.
Whoever that was,
maybe find them, right?
[IAN] Yeah.
[MIKE] Get busy.
[STEVIE] Ian. Ian.
Cat ain't gonna croak.
[IAN] Yeah, yeah.

Say your piece, Mike. You
coming to cheer or chastise?
I am here to counsel.
[MIKE SIGHS]
We have a fucking army in town.
And you sent out
two hitters
to deal with a fucking platoon, Frank.
Casualties never welcome, but
it's the cost of doing business.
Now we know what we're dealing with.
[LJ] They were scouts
assessing the battlefield.
Taught us what we didn't know.
Yeah, sure.
I got KPD on it.
So they're gonna deal with
the cartel on the streets.
We got matters to handle inside.
[MIKE] If the call's coming
from inside the house,
we got to know who that is, no?
Or we pace ourselves.
My scorecard has us up.
If you want to stay up,
you got to double down and do it now.
If word comin' from inside
it's Roberto Cruz.
Motherfucker you put
me in business with.
Well, now we know what
we're dealing with.
[FRANK] Prison's your domain, D.
You handle that, I'll muster
more muscle from the city.
You leveled up.
Call it.
Yeah, that motherfucker
flexing, for sure.
Raph got Cruz's number.
I'll make it so.
[MIKE] We don't want another war.
Just stamp this shit out,

[INMATE] She knows what

[BREEN] Sorry about that, Cindy.
Nah, it's okay. I got thick skin.
[BREEN] Yeah, no doubt.
It's frustrating, you know?

[BREEN] Well, he should
dump his own bags,
but infirmary will send a nurse
to swap 'em out.
Tax money helping the fucking needy.
They got to keep his port clean.
[BREEN CHUCKLES]
I worked in hospice once upon a time,

Huh. Mother Teresa to boot.

- Hey.
- Hi.
Hi. Well, everything's locked down.
It's fine.
Look, it's my guess that, uh,
somebody was going after
your catalytic converter.
And then I guess maybe they
pried open the window, I don't know.
Most likely it's just some street rat
going house to house
in the neighborhood,
but I'm gonna have KPD post outside.
Okay? Just in case.
All right. Appreciate it, Mike.
Is there something else you want?
I mean, I can take you out
of town to your parents'.
- To your sister's.
- No. I won't abandon Kyle.
You know he wouldn't take it that way.
Hey, buddy.
[FUSSING]
I would. So
Thanks, Mike, really. I, um
I'm okay here.
Okay.
All right, call me if you need anything.
Thank you.
[PHONE BUZZING]
Fuck.
[GRUNTS SOFTLY]
- Hey.
- Can you get, uh, uniforms out here,
uh, just around the clock,
over at Kyle's house?
- Well, what happened?
- Someone broke into her car
and pried open the
window in the kitchen.
- [IAN] She okay?
- Yeah, yeah, she's fine.
She's just a little shaken up is all.
Just some junkie, I'm sure,
trying to pawn some shit.
Yeah, consider it done. I got you.
Abundance of caution.
Thanks.
Wait, wait, who's the judge?
Well, see if he'll
give us a continuance.
[CHUCKLES]
Yeah. It's called charm, Linda.
Just see if he'll give us
ten minutes in chambers.

[RAPHAEL] A'ight, here's what's up.
Make it yard time.
All casual and shit.
Like we just trying to talk.
Don't think he's gonna
be waiting on this?
Roberto thinks he's winning.
I let him think that.
Just get up close,
start talking business,
peace.
Mm.
Then we go to work.
Now, you got that salt, dawg?
Whichever which way this plays out
Roberto's my mark.
Motherfuckers don't come for Bunny.
Not ever.
I'm standing on business.
[FOOTFALLS ECHO]
[HOBBS] Still fear for your life, Merle?
Top of the morning, Warden.
Simple question. Do you?
I'm a hunted man, Warden.
Couldn't risk the yard yet,
in my weakened condition.
How about you?
You settling in?
Sure.
No fear here.
I got a clear conscience, courage.
Good for you.
Courage is one of the
four pillars of Stoicism.
- Hmm. Is that right?
- Mm.
Stoics believe you don't
control the world around you,
only how you respond.
With courage, wisdom, temperance
and justice.
Well, sounds reactive to me.
I control my world.
I think you do the same.
Yeah. I don't like
getting caught flat-footed.
I try to see several moves ahead.
It's why you fear for your life,
found your way into Ad Seg.
Right now,
you're the magic man.
[CHUCKLES]
How so?
Well, you're in two
places at once, Merle.
You're in Ad Seg.
And your name is still
on the infirmary list.
Presto.
I can keep it that way.
And what can I do for you, Warden?
[INHALES]
Well, I think you're already doing it.
You and I have a mutual friend.
You, uh, stay the course,
and I'll make sure you stay cozy.
How's that?
That suits me fine, Warden.
Just fine.
[QUIET, TENSE MUSIC]
[CLYDE] Rec time is over.
Give me your hands.
[CALLAHAN EXHALES]
Wow.
[CLYDE] Spin.
Turn to your right, come on.
All the way. Turn.
[SLOW, DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
Hey.
Hey.
They haven't found my phone.
Can you believe that?
Fucking paralyzed over here.
Yeah.
Your phone.
Maybe you should just, uh,
kind of relax for a
minute. What do you think?
Not an option.
[SIGHS] What do you want, Mike?
Mm, we've got nothing
to say to each other.
You made that pretty clear.
Well, you look good.
Fuck you.
Kind of green, but you look good.
What's happening with this,
all this madness, Evelyn?
[CRYING] Yeah.
Is Kyle holding up?
Better than you.
Some fucking kids throwing
bricks over overpasses.
They think it's a
fucking prank. [STAMMERS]
I find them, I'm gonna fucking
charge 'em as adults, though,
- I fucking shit you not.
- Hey.
You got a long list of enemies, Evelyn.
I don't think juveniles is on it.
It's a brick in your car today,
a bullet in the head tomorrow.
You think this was targeted?
I'd be shocked if it wasn't.
This maybe is a final warning.
I don't know, maybe
it's time to stand down.
- What do you think?
- [BREATHES SHARPLY]
Oh, Mike, I knew this wasn't
a social call, but,
fuck, I cannot fight you.
[LAUGHS]
I can't fight you right
now, Mike, I-I cannot.
Well, I mean, you got to be smart here.
And just stop.
- Okay?
- I can't.
Even if I wanted to.
[SIGHS] And I don't want to.
I mean, it's not like you don't
have bigger fish to fry here.
For God's sakes.
I'm too close, Mike,
I'm too fucking close.
You're too close to what, dead?
Look at you. Dead doesn't
do any good, Evelyn.
It doesn't serve any greater good here.
I have a witness.
- Okay.
- I got a guy.
He's willing to put Ian at
Morrissey's the day he died.
What kind of coward would
I be, standing down, huh?
I don't think it's coward.
I think it's more
'cause you're a survivor.
When I'm on my deathbed, I want more
than to just have survived.
You should want more.
You deserve more.
Doctor wants to bring you
in for a CT scan, Ms. Foley.
Yeah. [SNIFFLES]

- [IAN] Mike?
- We need to meet Robert.
[IAN] Well, what do you Why?
You know why, Ian.
I told him Evelyn's untouchable.
[IAN] Mikey, this is
not the way to go here.
Just wrangle him up and
meet me by the river.
Thank you.

He was there, Mikey.
He was there this morning.
[ROBERT] So what, fucking
apology in my future,
Mike, or just insult on
top of goddamn injury?
Fuck you, man. I've done nothing
but-but fucking execute orders
for you and for Mitch.
From day one, I risked my
life for your fucking family.
And now you just turn your back on me?
I'm not turning my back on you.
Well, Kyle's hanged,
Ian's on the gallows, and
I'm waiting for the noose.
Turned your back on all of us for pussy.
Yeah, I'm not turning my fucking back.
You hear me? I'm standing
right the fuck in front of you,
looking at a fucking
mess that you've made.
'Cause your trigger finger
has made this fucking mess.
Okay? You made yourself
the fucking bogeyman.
I did not.
Yeah, fuck off, Mike.
You show me one thing that you touch
doesn't turn to absolute shit.
You're not a cop, you're not a criminal,
and you sure as shit
ain't the fucking mayor.

she deserved, by the way.
I didn't drop no fucking stones,
but I would toast the
motherfucker that did.

What the f Witness for
What the fuck you talking about?
Did you drop that brick?
'Cause you knew she had a witness
to put you at Morrissey's?
- Did you?
- What the fuck is wrong with you?
- I'm just asking a question.
- What the
That's what's going on
in your fucking head?
Yeah, just-just answer
the fucking question.
- That's all I'm asking. Yeah.
- I grew up with her.
She could put me in a goddamn
six-by-eight cell, Mikey,
I wouldn't fucking touch her.
Got a million goddamn enemies.
She put your brother in fucking jail.
What the fuck?
You got problems with Robert, I get it,
but do not throw this stupid shit at me.
You know better than that.

Okay, just do what I asked you to do.
How's that?
Can we do that, please?
Please?
Warden had my plate full

Crips or Colombians?
Just Crips.
Colombians were nursing wounds,
playing checkers and shit.
But Raphael's on lockdown.

- Yeah.
- Mayor racking in that OT.
Yeah, uh
Roberto's still breathing.
And the warden
only punished your crew.
Well
we did start that shit.
No, it's more than that, Bunny.
This crooked bitch has
got her thumb on the scale.
Okay? So it's a real problem.
Raph alive, Mike.
Yeah, and?
We sent a message.
Right now, Cruz chained up in sick bay.
And Raphael
[CHUCKLES] Man, he took
some licks, but he whole.
He got inside, I got out.
We good.
[MIKE] Prison is the castle.
It's where the power is.
It's the toehold
for everything that happens in town.
Was.
Times are changing.
I'm not thinking castles.
I'm thinking real estate.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Gentrify the gentrifiers, you feel me?
We got to shake out that old thinking.
Well, Bunny, that old thinking keeps
keeps balance, you know?
I'm all about delegation now.
I trust Raphael
to handle his while I handle mine.
- That's the balance I'm after.
- [MIKE] Sure.
He gonna pick a successor
before he released.
- Released?
- Yeah.
That's, like, ten years, Bunny.
And by the time he get
out, it's gonna be him
standing here in my shoes.
Where are you gonna be?
What's this scenario look like?
Oh, I'm gonna be close
enough to keep tabs,
far enough to stay clean, baby.
I can't go legit slinging dope
and matching up inside them walls.
[LAUGHS] I-I'm standing here, uh,
uh
listening to you,
uh, but all I'm hearing
is Frank Moses.
[TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWING]
Frank ain't no ventriloquist.
[MIKE] Mm.
Don't get it twisted.
He just a partner.
I take what I need, fucking skedaddle.
I'm-a Riverdance out that bitch.
Look, Bunny, I know, look.
I'm just saying, if you
want to get out of the life,
nothing wrong with that, man.
You want to go be a citizen?
Fucking Godspeed.
But the cartel
is making real moves.
It's posting up inside and out.
So your fantasies,
however wonderful, Bunny
they're never gonna
happen, unless you deal
with that reality.
You hear me?
- Yeah. I hear you, I hear you.
- Yeah? Yeah.
You got to find their supply.
You have to fucking hit it.
You got to do something.
Yeah, I hear you, man.
I'm-a, I'm-a put my guy on it.
Hey, you know, they're bringing an army,
Bunny, and this fucking warden
is gonna lock down
your entire crew inside.
This is a real danger.
Danger for baby bro?
No, a real danger for you.
We got new heads coming in.
- Out of Detroit?
- Uh-huh.
Yeah. Fuck.
Warned you.
I fucking warned you.
There are monsters, real monsters
outside these borders, Bunny.
And Moses
is the biggest of them.
You ever ask yourself,
"What's this guy gonna take from me?"
I'm not trippin' off that, Mike.
- No?
- Nah, my eyes is wide-open.
As long as he making
bank and he is
shit, we good.
I mean, shit, Frank a beast.
I'm not gonna stop him from being him.
And all this warring shit,
it ain't gonna last forever.
But I'm trying to make this money
- last generations, Mike.
- Yeah.
It's my family money.
[SIGHS] Well, you got
yourself in a vice, Bunny,
and you just don't see it.
You got a chance, too, you know?
- Yeah, is that right?
- Yeah, right now.
Mike
plan your escape.
[LAUGHS]
Where-where am I going to escape, man?
I can't plan that shit.
Get the fuck out of here.
I got to protect my brother inside,
and I got to protect
my brother outside, too.

Really good job. Thanks.

[SIGHS]
[STEVIE GROANS]
[LAUGHS]
Oh, shit, this is fucking hard.
I got you.
[KENO] Yeah, baby!
- Make that one.
- [CHATTER ON TV]
[MIKE] Come on.
How's the D.A.?
Yeah, yeah, she's fucking rocked.
But she'll live.
Well, she's a fighter.
Look, I got a,
I got a line on that witness.
- That was quick.
- Yeah? Well, I got my ways.
- Uh-huh.
- Don't got a name, though.
[SIGHS] You need an assist?
No, I'm good.
I'm gonna track this fucker down.
I'm gonna put the fear of God in him.
Case goes away, so does Evelyn's
fucking surveillance, man.
What's the worst that
could fucking happen?
Mikey. [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Hey, how about you just don't bring
a serial killer around
with you this time, yeah?
What do you think?
Huh? Be careful.
- You're fucking
- Be smart.
- [IAN] Yeah.
- See you, boys.
- Hey.
- See you.
[STEVIE] You fucking rack 'em.
[KENO] Shit, you lost.
[STEVIE] I'm getting you a fucking beer.
- Rack 'em.
- Another one.
[KENO] Sick of eight-ball.
Please.
So how is your
diabetic fucking cat doing?
Oh, fucking
Yeah. No. Just
[LAUGHS] Forgot all about that shit.
It's good. Fucking pain in the ass.
- Yeah?
- What you gonna do?
Your cat's not diabetic, man.
Unless you got the diagnosis
in the last 24 hours.
Okay, look, all right,
fuck, I forgot to mention it.
Bullshit.
You're not one to not fucking complain.
What the fuck, man, what's up?
Giving me fucking 20 questions.
What do you want to know?
You got something you want to tell me?
Holy fucking Jesus Christ.
You got something to
ask, Stevie, fucking ask.
Where'd you go this morning?
[FAINT MUSIC PLAYS FROM STEREO]
She's alive, all right?
Jesus, Ian
Fuck. I wasn't trying to kill her.
- Okay?
- [STAMMERS]
Then what the fuck were you trying for,
a mild coma? What's going on?
I'm looking at fucking life, Stevie.
I got to do what I got to do, all right?
Besides, it's fucking street logic.
What the fuck kind of logic?
It's fuck, it's
street logic, all right?
If I wanted to fucking
kill her, I'd drop it
in the fucking driver's
seat, and you know that.
Wait, so you were just
trying to fucking scare her
- is what you were doing?
- Yes.
I was fucking trying to scare her, okay?
Jesus Christ. I got
it all under control.
Trust me.
You know this.
When is this bullshit gonna be over?
When we're dead.
Okay?
When we're fucking dead. Come on.
[KENO] We gonna play?
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[DARK MUSIC]
[SLOW, SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
What's good?
What's good?
Everything.
[JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS ON STEREO]
[FRANK] Young brother.
You done what needed doing.
- Thank you.
- [BUNNY] Yeah, it's all housekeeping now.
Wasn't as clean as I'd like, but, uh
shot across the bow.
Message should stick.
I like what I'm seeing out there.
[FRANK] More coming.
We'll show what force is needed,
put the mayor at ease.
Uh, he a fucking worrier.
Worry keeps you sharp
if it doesn't consume you.
Thank you.
What's with the, uh,
nickels and dimes?
[CHUCKLES]
You got to find value
outside of pills and bricks,
guns and ammo.
I'm an investor and a collector.
Real estate and art,
coins and equines. There's
value everywhere.
I've been picking up
parcels all over town.
Warehouses.
Row houses.
It's 'cause you're playing
the game at an elevated level.
When Detroit went to
ruin, I did the same.
Then the artists come
and the tech firms,
and then urban rebirth.
And then what, D?
[CHUCKLES] Money.
[CHUCKLES]
Legitimacy.
Mm.
Spend only what's
needed to re-up supply
and cover payroll.
Everything else, every single cent,
you make it legitimate.
That's what turns you
criminal to citizen
in the eyes of the outside world.
[CHUCKLES] Man, you will be surprised
how many sins are
forgiven when you donate
to their causes,
- their societies.
- [LAUGHS]
[FRANK CHUCKLES]
Turn their system inside out.
Yeah. Glory be.
Mm-hmm.
Starts with this.
And you're well on your way.
- Stop! Yes!
- No!
- It's my turn to watch it.
- Give it back!
[LUCINDA] You watched two shows.
- Hey. Hey, hey, hey.
- [MOLLY] Stop!
- [LUCINDA] No, you stop.
- Hey.
- No. Give it to me now.
- No. No.
- You get an ex
- [MOLLY] Stop.
You get an extra hour
of TV if you figure this out.
- But she was
- Figure it out, please.
[LUCINDA] You watched two shows!
- Mom, there's spaghetti.
- [MOLLY] So what?
- Okay. Thank you, sweetie.
- [MOLLY] Stop it!
I'll be right down. Hey, keep it down
to a dull roar, please!
- Give it to me.
- Stop.
All right, I'll be
downstairs in five minutes.
- Five.
- [INDISTINCT ARGUING]
[QUIETLY] Jesus Christ.
[LUCINDA] It's my turn.
[INDISTINCT ARGUING]
[LINE RINGING]
[PHONE BUZZING]
Mm.
Hey. Hey, I was just about to call you.
Hey, um
I got the list.

Merle Callahan, is he on the list?
Merle Callahan. Yeah.
Merle Callahan's here, he's-he's here.
How long?
What do you mean?
How long has he been there?
[STAMMERS] Did he just get transferred?
No, he's
been there since I started.
- He what?
- He was there
before Kyle's intake, yeah.
He's been there the whole time.
In the cell next to Kyle.
- I saw fucking Hobbs talking
- Are you fucking kidding me?
- Jesus!
- Who Hey.
Who is this guy, Mike?
- Who is Merle Callahan?
- [SIGHS]
Goddamn.
Who is he?

Thank you. Thank you,
but fucking burn it.
