[cell door shuts]

No goodbyes? No fond farewells? Well, least you could do is offer a fucking, “Thank you, Merle, for saving my life.” Yeah. I’m seeing the similarities now, you and Mike… ungrateful, graceless cunts, the lot. Oh, there you are. [chuckles] What have you learned? Your brother can’t protect you. That’s lesson one. But I can. I did. Lesson number two. Lesson three. I offer my hand once and only once. Reject it? You reject me. Reject me? Reject the Brotherhood. Do that… and you’re all shades of fucked. Mike took my hand, did things in my service, survived because of those things. You? Mike didn’t steer you away from me to keep you safe. He did it ’cause he’s fucking selfish. Regrets his past and didn’t want you to repeat it, but who the fuck is that for? Who’s it benefit, you or him?

Fuck you, Merle. I’m gonna do my time. Pray I see you on the fucking outside.

Yeah. I don’t see you breathing free air again. Shit’s not trending the McLuskys’ way. You locked up, your brother dead, brains on the fucking wall. And your poor, innocent mom. What would sweet Saint Mariam make of you now?

Under control. Just let it ride.

You can’t choose family, Kyle. You can only choose your friends. Take my hand, you survive. Don’t? Well, shit. You might as well knot up your sheet and end it now, ’cause you’re not gonna make it. Then end it. Now. Do yourself that favor. Because I am gonna get out of here. I can walk through walls. And you don’t want to live to mourn another brother.

You know, Merle… you talk a lot… fucking talk, talk, talk, talk, talk… but don’t say shit. Mike played you. You got baited out of retirement and blown the fuck up. You’re half a ghost already. I’m not taking your hand… ’cause you don’t matter. You don’t factor in fucking life, inside or out. My brother Mitch, he’s remembered. My mother… always remembered. And me and Mike, we’ll be remembered. But you? You’re a fuckin’ footnote. And you’re gonna die long before me or Mike.

That… That’s the most I’ve ever heard you say. I’ll tell Mike “hello” when I see him.

[siren chirps]

Fucking bullshit.

[exhales sharply]

Mikey. Fucking suicide mission. That fucking Colombian fucker wanted Moses dead, escape plan optional.

Where’s Moses now?

I fucking stashed him. He’s in… Planted in interrogation.

Keep him there as long as you can.

I mean, I can keep him there for fucking personal safety, but it’s not gonna last long. This fucker doesn’t like cages.

Well, name someone who does. Look, don’t cut him loose till I say so. Tell him it’s my call.

Yeah.

Do you have any idea what that cost me?

Don’t come crying about the cost, Mike.

Okay? Not when you’ve got what matters…

Kyle is alive.

Yeah, he’s alive, but I made promises that I cannot keep.

It’s greater good, Mike.

I did what was necessary.

You did what was easy.

What was expedient.

You proved yourself to me.

I proved myself to my people.

And, Mike, I have to prove myself to my people.

Mmhmm.

Kyle is safe and sound.

Far as Moses goes, you can control that narrative.

You are nothing if not persuasive.

Next time you’re playing chess, Nina, just let me know that we’re fucking playing.

Mike, I got a missing fucking witness.

You don’t have to guess too hard to know how that went down.

I see.

Right. Okay.

So, what’s that got to do with me?

Is he dead?

There are things I do not do, okay?

There are lines I do not cross.

You know this.

So, one of your minions?

Or…

I wouldn’t put it past Ian.

Or, more likely, your witness bolted, got spooked.

Don’t act like it doesn’t happen every other fucking day.

Huh?

If you lost your witness, if he’s in the wind, right, what the fuck you got, besides no witness?

No Ian, no Robert. Huh?

I’m spinning off the fucking planet here, Mike, and it’s just wrong, it’s just wrong.

Well, I’m not saying it’s not.

But you got to clear this shit off your board, okay?

You got to forget about this Robert shit, all right?

I have a tonic for all this.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Is it vodka?

No.

It’s the biggest conviction of your career, however.

You want to keep D.A.?

That’s a lock.

Mike… cut the shit, man.

What do you want?

No, it’s no joke.

I can gift wrap a whale.

You understand?

You just got to cut Kyle loose.

You’re not hearing me, Mike.

I don’t trust you anymore.

It’s Frank Moses.

The man has never been prosecuted.

He’s never been arrested.

I can give him to you.

[indistinct chatter] Hey.

Make sure to kill the cameras.

Copy.

Mayor of Kingstown.

Yeah. King of Detroit.

[chuckles]

King of a whole hell of a lot more than that, Mike.

Which is why this… where I find myself… this does not fucking happen.

Yeah.

Shit went sideways, didn’t it?

Ooh, that’s a fact and an understatement.

“Enter through the front, exit out the back.”

Those were your words.

Well, that was the plan.

Was it? ‘Cause they were waiting to ambush me, right where you told me to go.

The cartel has eyes out.

It’s that simple.

I mean, better to happen in here than on the street.

[chuckles] Oh.

You revisionist motherfucker.

Colombians tried to take out Bunny.

And now you. The math’s not that complicated, is it?

Bunny may never see another sunrise, Frank.

So it’s up to you to push back.

And how do I go about doing that?

They burned one of your shipments.

You burn one of theirs.

[chuckles]

Bait them across the line, then we kill them all.

I saw Patty and Reed today.

Good. Robbie, your suspension’s gonna lift.

You’re gonna go back to work.

Everything’s gonna go back to normal, right?

They upheld my fucking suspension, Ian.

Don’t know for how long.

Tired of waiting.

Apparently won’t let me back in ’cause Evelyn’s got a gun to KPD’s head.

I can’t apply anywhere else with this bullshit hanging over me.

She’s coming after me for doing my job that I risked my life for every day and that I fucking loved doing.

Yeah.

I mean, I might as well be the one in fucking prison, right?

Robbie, fuck that noise.

[bottle cap clatters] You’re not a goddamn victim here.

Mike chose the side of fucking evil, Ian.

Wasn’t for him and Kyle, I wouldn’t be in this situation.

I would be on the job or I would be here with my wife and my son.

Instead, I got fucked, and an excon who is connected to every fucking gang in town, everybody that drops…

No.

he walks around with fucking impunity.

What the fuck you want me to say, huh?

Life’s un-fucking-fair.

Now, you got dealt a bad hand.

We know that.

Fucking toss that shit, shuffle and you deal again.

You know that.

Fuck you, man.

I can’t even get in the goddamn game.

Come on. Come on.

Because of Mike.

He’s doing this, Ian.

He’s fucking doing this.

It’s not a fucking conspiracy. Nobody’s aligned against you, Robert. Fuck.

Mitch would never let this shit happen.

Never.

He was a cop, and he would never fuck over another cop.

Yeah.

And when he got popped, what did I do?

You made it right.

What’d I…

You made it right.

Yes, exactly.

I made it right.

I fucking helped my brother.

I killed for Mike McLusky.

And now I’m the fucking forsaken.

This is gonna pass.

You got to fucking trust me.

It is going to pass.

Yeah, it will.

If I make it pass.

Like, you and me… we took action and we made that shit pass.

And if Mike passes, then so do all the fucking problems in this town.

[chuckles]

Till they come knocking at your fucking door.

Yeah.

What was I talking about?

Fucking up my buzz.

You’re a buzz fucker.

Yeah.

Well… Then you just hope it’s somebody you can handle.

[chuckles] Well…

Come on. Fucking, let’s drink up here. Come on.

No, no, no, no. But don’t fucking worry about it.

It’s just some fucking bastard out there, thinks he can do what he wants.

Fucking move in and ruin everything.

Those fucking people… they’re the ones who think they’re untouchable, they… they don’t see the fucking train coming.

You know what we’re gonna do?

We’re gonna keep this fucking train on the goddamn rails. Come on.

Yeah.

But then, that’s the beauty.

You just keep clean enough, and you let the world do the dirty work.

Here’s to the fucking world.

And then nothing’s your fault.

[bottle clinks] [liquid pours] Till, one day, it is.

Yeah.

[liquid pours]

I watched my boy at the park today.

He’s… climbing around and playing and shit.

[chuckles]

He’s afraid of fucking nothing.

[sniffles]

Everything I’ve done’s for him.

All right, come on.

Let’s drink up. Come on.

Yeah.

Jesus fucking Christ.

[siren wailing in distance]

[phone vibrates]

Yeah.

What’s up?

I’ll be there in ten minutes.

[engine continues running]

[garage door rattling]

All right, here we go.

Here we go.

Come on, man. I got you.

I got you.

Okay, okay.

Here we go.

Here, we just…

Here, we just sit down here for a sec.

Come on.

Right here for a sec.

How the fuck you know that?

It’s Lamar.

Frank got his hooks into him pretty deep.

Got him on payroll.

He planted him with you.

So let’s take a blowtorch to this motherfucker and see what’s what.

Frank does not know that we know, Bunny.

So we’re gonna do business as usual.

We’re gonna keep this motherfucker close.

We’re going play him and take him down legally.

Legal… Wha… the f…

That’s why.

So we’re gonna set Moses up and do what no one else has been able to do.

We’re gonna put this fucker in prison.

Yeah, then he’s mine.

Then he’s all yours.
