Mayor Of Kingstown – S04E04 – Sins of Omission | Transcript
♪♪♪
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.

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]
Uh, it’s… Yeah.
Mm.

I got to go.
I got to go, too.
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.

Hey, Mike.
What’s up, Keno?
Buenos dÃas.
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.

Say your piece, Mike.

[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.

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.

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 flatfooted.
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.

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.

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.

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?

[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 reup 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.
Mmhmm.
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.
The what?
The prisoners at Ad Seg.
I’m gonna read you the names.
What? Uh…
Okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Go.
Okay, it’s 13 names.
Yeah.
There’s “Buck Simpson.”
Jeremiah Williams.
“Andy Nelson.”
Yeah.
Uh, “Franklin Edwards, Yeah, he’s a fucking…
Dennis Langham…”
What about Callahan, Cindy?
Wait, what?
Merle Callahan, is he on the list?
Merle Callahan. Yeah.
Merle Callahan’s here, he’she’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?
Hello?
Uh, look, Cindy, just burn that list, would you, please?
Thank you. Thank you, but fucking burn it.
I’m not gonna…
[line beeps] Goddamn it.
