MILO: You have something I want...

and I have something you want.

- You made a deal with Milo!?
- It's the bonds for Iris.

It's simple.

- I wanna see you.
- When and where?

IRIS: Tomorrow. Midnight.

The park off Mile Road.

IAN: They cleaned out the whole shop.

He's gearing up for a g*dd*mn w*r.

You're starting a fight
that you do not want.

- I want that SWAT m*therf*cker.
- I can't let you do that.

I ain't askin' you to let me do sh*t.

They're on me. Send an ambulance
or a hearse.

[GRUNTS]

Robert!

I'm going to wear you out.

I want her to get away.

[YELLS]

- That's what I want.

If you have ideas of other arrangements

or I'm betrayed by you,

I won't just k*ll you, Mike.

Know that.

He's gonna make it.

Right, Mike?

Who does this?

IAN: We got a lot of enemies.

A lot of f*ckin' enemies.

Inside and out.

Hey, can I talk to you?

Yeah.

What is it? What's goin' on?

I gotta go.

What do you mean? Where are you goin'?

Tracy left.

Yeah, sh*t, I know.

She said she needed
some time, needed to...

get away from town.

Yeah.

f*ck, Mike, they just f*ckin' b*at him.

He's supposed to be
the f*ckin' Megatron.

And he's the one that
gives the beatings.

And I just, I gotta go deal with Tracy.

Okay, so yeah, you f*cking go.

All right?

And I gotta...

f*ckin' go.

What?

I wanna be.

I wanna be here for
you and the kids, and...

Yeah, the whole world's on
m*therf*cking fire, Kareem.

And it's : , to be exact.

KAREEM: Okay.

So, you hear about Robert?

Robert who?

The S.W.A.T. guy that saved
you from prison, that guy.

KAREEM: What about him?

He's in the hospital on life support.

A hit?

Yeah, most f*ckin' definitely.

KAREEM: I'm sorry about
Robert, I know he's a friend,

and I appreciate what
he'd do for me, I do.

But I don't wanna be in this world.

I just wanna go to work,
do my job, and come home.

That's all.

Kareem, this is your job.

KAREEM: No, no! It's not my job.

My job is to make sure we comply
with the industry standards.

And we are not negligent.

Or abusive. That is my job.

MIKE: I just got sh*t at

Okay, so f*ck industry standards!

I'm asking for your f*ckin' help.

Okay?

IAN: Hey, you get somethin'?

Yeah, AB just tried to
take me off the table.

Okay? The car is sh*t to sh*t.

MIKE: No, the f*ckin' Bentley!

Yeah, the Lincoln!

There's f*ckin' three dead
AB, car's sh*t to sh*t.

Make it f*ckin' disappear.
I was never there.

Just clean it up for me, would ya?

Thank you.

It's that French sh*t.

That bonjour, m*therf*cker.

Vodka's supposed to be

Man, f*ck Russia, sh*t.

I ain't lettin' that bullshit politics

Yo!

Yo!

Yo, what the f*ck, Mike?!

Relax, y'all, he ain't killin' nobody.

He ain't, he ain't killin' nobody.

Hey, what kinda vodka you want, Mike?

What'd you do?

Put the BB g*n down, all right?
If you wanna talk, let's talk.

He's on f*ckin' life support, Bunny.

Who the f*ck we talkin' about right now?

Do not!

Aight, aight, sh*t.

All of y'all, off the roof.

Now, now!

Me and my boy, we gotta chop it up.

And if you hear g*nf*re...

You send this m*therf*cker
to Jesus, straight.

Why, Bunny?

f*ckin' why?

You should see it over there, Bunny.

f*ckin' sea of blue.

It's a declaration of w*r.

Do you f*ckin' realize that?

Yeah.

If Robert dies, Bunny...

Let me tell you somethin', Mike.

If it's a w*r they want,

it's a w*r this m*therf*cker's
gonna get.

There's an army of cops,
they all want trophies now.

And I can do f*ckin'
d*ck all to stop it.

Where...?

Where the f*ck you been
livin', Mike, where?!

- MIKE: Right here.
- Where?

Right the f*ck here!

You should know that we've been
under siege from birth, Mike!

From f*ckin' birth!

Robert dies, and everything
changes between us.

You realize that?

That what you want?

You know I got love for you, Mike.

I really do.

But if there come a time...

When you got me in a f*ckin' corner...

And you the only thing
standin' between me

and my air...

Know this, Mike.

I'mma run right through you.

g*n's on the roof.

We ain't lackin'.

[SIRENS WAILING]

[PHONE RINGING]

Hey, Ma.

Michael.

What are you doin' up so late?

I...

I need you to come over...

Hi, Mike.

Did you forget about me?

Aw, f*ck.

Hey.

Listen to me.

I don't have a f*ckin'
phone number for you.

Remember? "Call the f*ckin' club."

All right?

Listen, I, I got your paper.

All right?

I'm, I'm gonna come over
there now, all right?

We're so close from gettin
this f*ckin' thing done.

Don't do anything f*ckin' stupid.

Do you understand? Or
I swear to f*ckin' God.

I'm comin' over.

Yeah, well, we'll be here.

We're very eager to see you.

Yeah, good.

I'm comin'.

f*ck.

m*therf*cker.

f*ck.

[PHONE RINGING]

Hey.

You do the swap? Where you at?

No, no, no, no, look,
it's a f*ckin' long story.

Milo's at Mom's.

What?

MIKE: Yeah, yeah, I know.

Where are you?

I'm still at the f*ckin' hospital,

I tried callin' Tracy
and she didn't pick up.

What the f*ck do you mean?

Just f*ckin' meet me at Mom's.

Come in quiet. Okay?

I'm headed there now. Okay?

f*ck, I'm on my way.

MIKE: Jesus.

It'll be okay.

No, it won't.

IAN: Mike, what the f*ck?

I figured we needed numbers.

Yeah, okay.

- Milo's in the f*ckin' house?
- Yeah.

If they f*ckin' laid a
finger on your mother...

All right, look, we're gonna do...

f*cking...

IAN: Mikey, what is it? What is it?

f*ck!

I don't have the f*ckin' bonds.

What?

Jesus.

They're in the f*cking Lincoln.

What the f*ck are we gonna do?

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

MIKE: I'm here. No w*apon.

Your hands are empty.

You broke into my f*ckin' house, Milo.

You took my mother hostage.

I'm just here to make
sure everything is...

as it should be.

Right?

Your mother is telling you that
my men are in the kitchen too.

She's trying to tell you
that you have no play.

It's all gonna be over soon, Ma.

- Okay?
- I'm okay, I'm okay.

- Whose blood is that?
- Joseph's.

She k*lled him.

It's okay.

Tati cleaned it up, she's very tidy.

Did you ever hear of the
Peter Principle, Mike?

I didn't pay attention in school, Milo.

You get more and more responsibilities

because you're really good
at the thing that you do.

But eventually you get
to a place where you're in

a position in which you
were above your abilities.

And that was our Joseph.

Is that you, too, Mike?

I'm here to make sure my mom...

and Iris are whole.

- That's it.
- Well, now you see.

Yeah.

I don't wanna sh**t your mother.

But I will.

Where are my bonds?

They're in a car.

Outside.

You disappoint me, Mike.

Mitch would never leave me waiting.

Yeah.

A cop was...

- Hospitalized, I got ambushed.
- Really?

A lot of hurdles I had to get through.

But I'm here.

So, Iris just happens to k*ll Joseph

the same night of all of your hurdles?

She just happened to
turn up at the house?

Do you think I'm f*cking stupid, Mike?

She's your girl, she
does what she wants.

[GRUNTING]

Come on.

You f*cked up, Mike.

Go, go, go, go, go!

MIKE: Mom, come on. Behind me.

- I'm with you.
- Come over here, over here.

[PANTS]

Now.

How many?

One bad guy.

- Where's Ian?
- I don't know.

- Yeah.
- Get up!

Down!

Oh my God, oh sh*t.

Oh sh*t, Mom!

- Ma, you okay?
- Mom.

- Mom, mom, f*ck.
- MIKE: Jesus.

Oh, f*ck. No, f*ck!

Hey, help me with her! Would you?

All right? Ian!

f*ck, f*ck!

Ian!

I f*ckin' sh*t her, Mike...

Hey, listen to me, we gotta
get her to the f*ckin' hospital!

Let's go!

[SIREN WAILING]

[VAGUE, ECHOY VOICES]

Hey.

They're preppin' the OR.

All right? The b*llet's near the spine.

Didn't puncture the lung or
the heart, they don't think.

- Is she awake?
- IAN: No.

MIKE: How long until she's in?

IAN: ASAP.

And how long is surgery?

IAN: An hour, maybe two hour,
I mean, they gotta figure out

what to do with the
blood, but she's strong.

Mariam's a tough cookie, Mike.

She's gonna pull through this.

I sh*t her, Mike.

I put that f*ckin' b*llet in her.

Hey.

You were tryin' to
f*ckin' save her, okay?

Tryin' to protect our
family. It's just...

a f*cking awful accident.

That's all it is.

You sh*t her with an AB g*n, remember?

They're gonna pull this
b*llet out of her...

Mom's gonna be fine.

And none of this goes near you.

Okay?

No one needs to know about this.

She was sh*t by one of Milo's g*ons.

We clear on this?

% f*ckin' clear.

I'm not gonna lie, Mike.
I'm not gonna f*ckin' lie.

The f*ck you're not.

The f*ck you're not, Kyle.

We weren't blessed with
easy. You know that.

We just do our best to stand tall.

And come in tomorrow, even
with the tiniest bit of hope...

it'll be better than today.

You have a child coming.
You have a life.

So, you can't go waving
this around like a badge,

'cause it will define you.

And you are not just this moment.

You're a good man.

You're my brother.

And you made a mistake.
You won't own it,

you won't eat it, for your child.

For your wife.

Mom's gonna come out of this.

And when she does,

you're gonna be grounded,
like, f*ckin' forever, you know?

Shut the f*ck up. f*ck you.

You're so f*cked.

f*ck off...

MIKE: She's gonna f*ckin' k*ll you.

All right, so come on. I need you.

All right?

My man.

Where are you goin'?

I'm gonna put a period
on this f*ckin' thing.

Mike, please, just
sit with me, will you?

No, I brought this to our family,

and I brought it into our f*ckin' home.

So, let me finish this thing.

I got him.

- [VEHICLE BEEPING]
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

IAN: Mike!

Let me get an escaped
prisoner alert out there.

He's gonna make a break
for the f*ckin' border.

He still thinks I have the bonds.

I know, I know.

So, I want this fucker.

Mikey, I can checkpoint every backroad,

every highway, every eye in the sky,

I'll get the marine unit on it.

Do all that, that's fine.

But you hear anything, though,
anything, you let me know first.

All right?

IAN: What about Kyle?

f*ck.

I don't know.

I don't know about
anything right now, Ian.

Okay?

We're just gonna make it up as we go.

First things first, we get f*ckin' Milo.

- I'm with you.
- MIKE: All right.

Where is he?

You don't mean, where is she?

Where's Milo?

I don't know. You
destroyed his plan, so...

he's, I'm sure, making a new one.

Wanna call him?

It's kinda late.

Jesus Christ, call
this f*cking cocksucker.

MIKE: Listen to me.

Just get him on the f*ckin' phone. Okay?

Then we'll keep you off our radar.

Or keep dickin' around,

and I'll ensure that the cops
and the gangs roll through here

on f*ckin' rotation,

where you can't f*ckin' piss

without a raid or a f*cking sh**t.

Is that the environment you
wanna run these girls through?

You should've just given him his money.

He's a fugitive, he
just wants to run away.

You're not the only one after him.

Call him.

[PHONE DIALING]

Where do we meet?

That was not very smart, Mike.

Where do we meet, Milo?

You bring yours...

I'll bring mine.

MILO: Last chance, Mike.

One hour, the East th Harbor.

Bring any of your
friends, they will die.

But your girl will die first.

One hour.

If I don't k*ll him...

He's comin' after you.

I know.

You should take that baby
and get the f*ck out of here.

Where?

Anywhere but here.

I have friends, Mr. McLusky.

I can take care of myself.

You should do the same.

Yeah.

Call your friends, tell
'em we're f*ckin' comin'.

Let's go.

[PHONE RINGING]

Hey.

TRACY: I got your message.

I am so sorry, Kyle.

KYLE: Baby, I didn't wanna wake you.

TRACY: I couldn't sleep.

KYLE: I miss you so much.

I miss you, too.

How's Mom doing?

She's...

You know, she's tough. She's strong.

You know, she can't die, Trace.

I'm gonna come back tomorrow morning.

Kyle...

I love you, okay?

Give Mariam a kiss for me

and tell her I love her very much.

Okay.

I will.

I love you.

Goodnight.

[SIREN WAILING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[PHONE DIALING]

CARNEY: What's goin' on?

It happens tonight. You understand me?

Who you got on?

Same pieces of sh*t.

How they doin' without Davidson?

Someone'll rise, fill the void.
You know how it works, Mike.

Well, there's about to be another void.

You understand me?

I want it to f*ckin' happen tonight.

I'm resettin' the table. f*ck them.

[SIRENS WAILING]

Fellas, thanks for waitin'.

Yeah, I'm sorry for this...

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- f*ck. Hey.
- Hey.

You all right?

[SCOFFS]

I'm hangin' in.

- [MONITOR BEEPING]
- [VENTILATOR PUMPING]

Hey.

Hey, Patty.

I heard about your mother.

Yeah.

How's she doin'?

She's...

I don't know.

Any change here?

Stable.

First time anyone's
ever called him that.

I'm gonna go check the machines.

See if they've got some mints or gum.

Maybe a Charleston Chew or somethin'.

Will you sit with him until I get back?

Yeah, sure.

- Thanks, pal.
- KYLE: Yeah.

Hey, man.

How you doin' in there?

Huh?

Must be quiet.

Quiet'd be nice right now.

None of this bullshit...

None of this noise.

Not havin' to think about anything.

You know, or how things were, or...

might've been, or...

could be.

Yeah, that must be nice.

My mom's down the hall.

And I put her there.

It's just...

It f*ckin' sucks out here.

It's time to flip the script.

All blacks, man.

MILO: Watch your step.

You can wait on board.

Don't like boats?

I don't like you.

Why do you think he's willing
to fight so hard for you?

I don't know.

You're that good a f*ck?

I never slept with him.

So why, then?

Maybe I'm somethin' to do.

Before...

or after he kills you.

God exists in the least of things, Iris.

And I think, maybe...

Mike sees God in you.

I think he sees his own
salvation in saving you.

Makes me wanna end you.

End his inevitable suffering

when he realizes what you really are.

Mike, do you think that fucker's
just gonna take those bonds

and let you walk away?

Let me get some backup and
some S.W.A.T. down here.

If he feels anything,
he'll just k*ll her.

Mikey, I don't wanna be
an assh*le, but f*ck it.

I don't know this girl,
why not let him take her?

Let 'em both go.

'Cause it's the right thing
to do, Ian, that's why.

All right, what do you want me to do?

- You have any long g*ns in the trunk?
- Yup.

I got a f*ckin' arsenal in the back,

what do you want?

Why don't you just
go down the hill here,

post up there, and follow
me through your scope.

If anything goes
sideways, start hunting.

And don't f*cking sh**t me.

[LOCK CLICKS]

CO!

- CO!
- Shut the f*ck up.

A message from the mayor, m*therf*cker.

And he gon' get that sh*t today.

Oh, God!

Turn around.

This is better, right?

No drama...

No sh**t-'em-up.

There are your bonds.

MILO: There's your girl.

See how easy it could've been?

Think about what you're going
to do yet with your prize?

Ready to go?

This fight you're fighting,
you can't win.

Thinkin' you can stop the
bad thing from happening,

that's ego, Mike...

The bad is comin' for all of us.

We're just things on
the devil's to-do list.

Keep the g*ns on them 'til I'm gone.

After that, do what you want.

Stop.

f*ck.

Maybe I will k*ll you now.

Hey, you all right?

Yeah?

Uh-huh.

Kingstown sits on
the edge of Lake Michigan.

Surrounded by almost a
million acres of forest.

Trapped by resources it cannot extract,

it resembles an island
more than anything.

And like islands, any
resource it can extract

is not worth the price of exporting it.

Did everything go okay?

Everything went fine.
I'm on my way back.

Okay.

MIKE: So like islands,

we must sell our only
resource of real value...

The island itself.

- [POLICE SIRENS WAILING]
- [SHOUTING]

Hawaii has white sand beaches

and the allure of the tropics,

so they sell that dream.

Kingstown has no dream, so
it must offer the nightmare,

and we must sell our failures.

Our allure is prison labor

and the union wages to extract it.

If failure of society could
be distilled into one city,

this would be the city,

and miseries are free.
