02x06 - Left With the Nose

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Mayor of Kingstown...

Milo broke something.

He took it and he broke it.

And that's why we're
not letting him leave.

But you have to let sh*t play out.

Bunny, we're this f*cking close.

I'm gonna get you out of here.

I can't bide my time, Mike.

Just stay the course.

BUNNY: The only course I
see is the one I'm making.

What the f*ck?

CARNEY: We had an inmate,
took him to the infirmary,

docs examining him, they're
gonna find a ton of trauma.

KAREEM: Just be plain, Carney.

- He's one of the three.
- Three what?

Hey! He wasn't f*cking resisting CO!

You with the ACLU, Carney?

Get you some alone time, son.

They put a beatdown on him, Mike
and drug his ass to solitary.

I heard all about you.
White savior bullshit.

You ain't savin' sh*t.

IAN: What, you think if
Mike McLusky could fix this,

he would have fixed it by now?

MIKE: They're farming out
inmate labor to companies

all across the state.

Know what they're paying? $. an hour.

That's f*cking free labor.

They're spending more
money on food for guard dogs

than they are for the inmates.

There's no way out for them.

And you don't want there to be.

You need that cycle,

that's how you get paid.

Is that why you came all
the way up here, Mike?

To explain to me how my company works?

It's all been tried, and
this is where we've landed.

So you can join in,

or you can get crushed
by the wheels of progress.

Yeah. Well...

I need a favor.

Is that so?

Trying to get something done.

I'm tired of the trees
that I'm barking up.

So you and your wheels of progress

can help me move something along.

And what do I get?

You get me.

I'll owe you something.

So I have a guy at Anchor Bay.

And you want him moved to Warwick?

No. f*ck, no. I want him out.

I have a deal with the DA's office.

He's got the paper on his
desk. Case needs a little shove.

And reelection's around the corner.

Those f*ckers need money.
Contracts are being gifted out,

most of them under your umbrella.

I need someone to get his attention,

to put this paper under his f*cking nose

and make him f*ckin' sign it.

If I could, I'd kick
open the f*cking door

and get done myself.

Okay.

Okay.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

So you telling me Bunny in the
hole ain't a f*cking problem?

Bunny'll be out by noon.

Besides, even in that hole,
m*therf*cker still making moves.

Still smell that crispy,
bitch-ass m*therf*cker

in the air.

That was AB sanctioning sh*t.

They got the guards, bro.

As long as you got the
guards, you got the yard.

Yeah, well, that balance about to shift.

How you see that?

I gotta earn, Raph.

You gotta be slinging
in to be earning out.

Know what I'm saying?

When Bunny get out,
no matter if he gotta

drop that cr*cker
hisself, sh*t's going down.

We gettin' our sh*t back.

I don't see it, bro.

That's cause you got one f*cking eye.

Man, I'm f*cking with you, man.

Play your card.

Yo, Raph.

Oh, it's on me, huh?

I didn't know you m*therf*ckers
were so eager to lose.

We ain't losing today.

sh*t, we'll see about that.

f*ck you still doin' with a diamond?

Reneggin'-ass bitch.

Yo, hold up, Hush. Kid's still learnin'.

Then why is he at the f*cking table, D?

Y'all needed a fourth.

You think Bun gonna
take out a pig or what?

sh*t's about to pop.

No sh*t. m*therf*ckers owe us...

Blade!

sh*t.

[INMATES SHOUTING]

[GRUNTING]

Go!

[PHONE RINGING]

- Thank you, Rebecca.
- You're welcome.

Hey, thanks for calling me back.

He should be out by the end of the day.

MIKE: He should be?

Never should have been in
AdSeg in the first place,

he's your inmate.

KAREEM: I don't run this prison,

I just oversee inmates from Kingstown.

MIKE: Just get him out,

all right, he can't run
sh*t from inside that box.

Put him in general pop.

There's a toasted Mexican who
I think would beg to differ.

Well, that wasn't Bunny. Okay?
That was AB makin' a play.

And you know it.

Want to reduce the numbers
of browns or blacks.

That's my point, Mike. Anchor Bay is AB.

Half them COs in here
are Aryan affiliated

or sympathetic to the cause.

I'm only here for a few days
pushing paper, doing checks.

I can't do sh*t until I find out
who's pulling the strings here.

Yeah, okay. Okay, great. Look,
I'm just gonna go in myself.

How's that? Can you give me visitors?

Can you do that, at least?

Yeah.

Thank you.

f*ck.

[MUSIC]

What's going on?

Hey, babe!

- Baby.
- Huh?

Did your mom need a shed or...

Uh, I don't know.
Probably. Right? I mean...

I went to the store and I saw
it and I thought to myself,

you know, that would be a
good place for her to put her

gardening stuff and
sh*t. And so I built it,

- and I got two more.
- Right.

[MUSIC]

Did he say what it was about?

Sounded like sh*t, that's all I know.

He said call you, call Kyle.

Said come down here and meet.

- That's all, that was it?
- No, Ian.

He told me the f*cking meaning of life,

I just don't wanna share it with you.

Strange, that's all I'm saying.

Hey, Donna. What kinda pie you got?

Banana cream and pecan.

IAN: Like, in one pie?

No, it's two pies.
It's two different kinds of pie.

_

- Donna, can I get a beer?
- Sure thing.

- IAN: Gimme a piece of pie, too.
- Which?

I don't care. Surprise
me. Both of 'em, one each.

Christ. Really? Stop
with the pie, he's here.

- What's going on?
- Did you call Kyle?

Yeah, He's on his way.

Yeah, I'll wait.

I can't, as much as I'd like to

watch this clown eat pie all day.

- Come on, you'll love it.
- Gotta get over to Anchor

and wherever else. What's going on?

- I got a heart att*ck letter.
- Holy f*ck.

- When?
- This morning.

DA said it's time to lawyer up,

get my sh*t in order and everything.

- sh*t.
- Hey.

What's up? What's the big deal?

Heart att*ck letter.

Oh, f*ck.

Yeah, they're coming for me.

Yeah. You know who?

DA, what do you think?

No, I mean, who's rollin'?

What do you mean?

They ain't comin' after you
because of inmate testimony.

Okay? Somebody rolled.

You want something, hon?

No.

Just give us a second, would ya, Donna?

Thanks, Donna. I appreciate it.

We're all good.

Who you thinking?

We're a f*cking family, Mike,

nobody in there's rolling on anybody.

Somebody did.

It was self-defense, Mike.

I mean, there were
hundreds of them in there.

You know, we would
have gotten torn apart.

Self-defense.

Bullshit, they should
be suckin' my d*ck,

throwin' me a g*dd*mn parade.

We stopped that f*cking
thing from the inside.

Look, I hear you, I get
it. But they want a pound,

and apparently wanna take it from you.

What about those
National Guard assholes?

I mean, those f*cking idiots
are playing video games

up on those walls.

Doesn't matter, Robert,
they have something.

And if you say it's
not one of your guys,

I gotta believe you, but I got
my money on one of these guys.

Got a crisis of conscience
or sweet deal with the DA,

something like that.

I'll look around, see what I can dig up.

So what we do in the meantime?

Get your story straight.

Okay?

IAN: Yeah.

Doing anything after this?

- Me? No, why?
- Got an errand.

I can get you on the books.
Get you some baby scratch.

Yeah, sure.

We should talk this sh*t through.

Yeah. Yeah.

What are you doing tonight?

Tonight? Tonight. Tracy's
working tonight, so...

- :. I'm going to be there.
- Okay.

You find this guy, all right?

You find him, and we
will be fine, right Mike?

Yeah. Yeah. Just find out who's talking,

and then we'll take the next
steps to take care of it, okay?

- Yeah.
- Don't worry about it.

In the meantime, just don't
say anything to anybody

about this sh*t, okay?

Keep your chin up. We're all good.

- Let's get the f*ck out of here.
- IAN: percent.

- This is f*cked up, right?
- Yeah, it's f*cked up.

Hey, hold on. Give me a second, huh?

Hey, Rebecca, I need an address.

Okay? All I got is the
last name, Davidson,

He's a guard over at Anchor Bay.

All right, well just... just text
it to me when you get it, okay?

Bye, thank you.

The f*ck is that?

There's too much talk
about it. I grabbed 'em.

f*cking Jerry in the lockup.
He gave me minutes,

got him tickets to the
Molly Hatchet concert.

[CHUCKLES]

Yeah. Yeah, we're good.

Christ.

f*cking heart att*ck letter, huh?

- Yeah.
- Geez.

Your DA friend didn't wanna tell you?

People say a lot of things, Kyle.

It's hard to tell when they mean it.

Yeah.

You can't be going off
and doing sh*t. Okay?

What? What do you mean?

I mean the f*cking bonds.
The f*ck you think I mean?

You can't go walking
in to f*cking lockup.

Without tellin' me or Stevie
or somebody, all right?

- They got cameras in there.
- Mike! I was KPD.

I know where everything is
in there. I wiped the drives.

Don't worry, we're good.

And you don't think it looks suspicious?

Who gives a f*ck if it looks suspicious?

As long as it doesn't
come back on us. Right?

Just stay inside the lines,
that's all I'm askin'.

Stay inside lines, just
a little bit. All right?

Let the world settle
down. You settle down.

No more Rambo sh*t. Jesus,
you got a lot going on.

Yeah...

Do you think I'm going to be a good dad?

What do you mean? Yeah, of course.

I mean, bringing the
kid into this world,

raising them in this town?

Yeah, that's f*cked up.

At least you're not.

You're gonna be f*cking great.

[MUSIC]

What are we doing?

Gotta make a stop.

Huh?

Aw, Jesus.

If I'm not back in minutes. All right?

Five minutes.

The f*ck?

Hey, you Davidson?

Depends. You sellin'
something, or servin' me papers?

Naw, Mike McLusky.

Talk to you for a minute?

Ah, f*cking A.

Yeah, brother. Come on in.

Yeah, I mean, the
place is kind of a mess.

Get this out of your way here.

Get you a beer or something?

Nah, I'm good.

Have a seat, brother.

Nah, I'm good. Just
be here for a minute.

So look, I hear, um,

you're the big sh*t over at Anchor.

Some say.

Okay, I need you back
off Bunny Washington.

I can't do that, Mike.

I wasn't really asking.

Are you threatening me?

It's just a delicate
balance going on over there.

And you pushing the scale to AB

is not really helping me here.

You know,

we had our own balance in there.

Yeah.

The f*ck are we doing?

What's it look like, Mike?

I'm not here to fight you.

I came here as a courtesy,

tell you that this is going to happen

with or without your cooperation.

So...

Get the f*ck out of my house.

f*ck.

- Hey, back up!
- What the f*ck? All right!

- Relax!
- Back the f*ck up!

Relax, Kyle...

Think you can lay a hand
on my brother, m*therf*cker?

I will paint the walls
with your g*dd*mn brains.

MIKE: Look, dickhead, just do
what I f*cking say, all right?

And don't do f*cking
anything, all right?

Don't f*ck with Bunny.
It's not that f*cking hard.

You know, you're gettin'
something on the side,

maybe get a little bit less.

- Hey. Hey, hey.
- MIKE: All right!

You f*ck around. I'm
going to come back here.

And I'm gonna ruin your
world. You understand?

Bunny wakes up in gen pop, period.

Don't f*ck with Bunny.

Let's go.

Thought you were one of us, Mike.

You thought f*cking wrong.

- Let's go.
- Hey, look at me.

Look at me, just do what he says.

f*ck it, Kyle.

Let's go.

What the f*ck did I tell
you? What are you doing?

I was looking through the window.

Yeah, you said minutes.

That wasn't f*cking
minutes, m*therf*cker.

Well, it felt like minutes.

Well, it's f*cking wasn't.

p*stol whippin' m*therf*ckers.

- Buy you a f*cking watch!
- It felt like minutes.

[SIREN WAILING]

[INSECTS CHIRPING]

[TRAIN WHISTLE]

Ma?

Yeah, we're in here!

- Hey.
- Hey. Oh.

I forgot.

You know, um... Sorry
for keeping you up.

Could I talk to you for a minute?

I thought we were talking.

In the kitchen.
I won't keep him a minute.

Take your time. Take your time.

- Everything's fine, Mom.
- Yeah. Okay. All right.

And did you work with Michael today?

Yeah. Yeah.

How was that?

It was good. Good.
Yeah, everything's good.

Just trying to figure out
this KPD thing with Ian, Right?

So I just, you know. But
everything's good. Yeah.

You good?

Me? Yeah, well...

Yeah. Thanks.

- Is that it? 'Cause I just...
- Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Go, go honey. Go.

No, everything's fine.

- Okay, thanks.
- Goodnight.

[KEYS RATTLING]

[DOOR BUZZER]

It's about motherfuckin' time.

I'ma own this prison by the time
I'm done with you m*therf*ckers.

Well, that shackle shuffle
says something else to me, but

keep hope alive, Bun.

It ain't about hope no more, Carney.

That's the difference between

taking control and taking charge.

And I know I ain't in
control of this sh*t no more.

But I sure as f*ck will
take charge up in this bitch.

[DOGS BARKING]

All right, thanks.

Bunny.

Makin' the move today.

Mitch'd already made that move.

Yeah, well, I'm not Mitch.

No, you ain't.

There's been, um, no
drive-bys the last few days.

No mass murders, no
innocent people being k*lled.

Something must be going right.

Answer me this.

How many times I'm
supposed to let you f*ck me?

I told you to keep it quiet inside here.

What the f*ck did you do?

You torched the f*cking
Mexican gatekeeper.

That's not exactly
keepin' it quiet, is it?

Quiet ain't a thing in here, Mike.

Quiet maybe keep you clean for a minute,

but sooner or later, some mottherfucker

gonna hit you with a question.
So you better be ready

with a loud-ass
m*therf*cking answer, Mike!

You ain't doing for me. So
I gotta raise my voice now.

I have a new angle. Okay?
And I'm hitting on all sides.

So you're good in here. You understand?

You're gonna be out in
minutes, I'm telling you.

Look, Mike, I'm tired of being told.

All right?

I'm tired of being the
dog dragged by the wagon.

I ain't layin' down and
gettin' dragged along no more.

No, I'm taking this sh*t
into my own hands now.

- Come on, please.
- No more please, man.

There was a mark on you. You know that?

I move that sh*t, I moved that
sh*t outta history with you.

You moved it? Bunny, to who?

Where the f*ck did you move it?

Don't worry about it, Mike.

You just keep pulling your strings.

Get me out of here. I'll
try to clear the way.

Help me help you, brother Mike.

Who's wearing it, Bunny?

That's need to know sh*t.

Yo ass don't need to.

Whatever it is you're doing, don't.

You hear me?

Thank you.

The rest are in the yard.

- Um, Sir. Can you uncuff him?
- No, ma'am.

I'm guessing you're
required to stay in the room.

Yes, ma'am. Unless you're his attorney,

in which case you have the privilege.

Oh, no. Well, I'm not. So, thanks.

Hello, Jacob.

Hello.

You wanted to talk to me?

I've been...

I've been having a pretty
crappy time right here.

Uh, I'm now.
My lawyer, he got me a deal.

I just... I just have to
go a year without incident.

But if I mess up or anything,

my... my sentence goes eight and state.

Oh, man, you don't want to mess up.

Yeah.

Uh, the Woods came to me last week.

- The Woods?
- The white boys.

If I don't join up with them,
I'm... I'm going to be all alone.

And if I'm all alone,
I won't have a chance

of making it a year.

I don't think I... I understand...

I know... I know who your son is.

And Mike McLusky.
That's your son, right?

Yeah, mm-hmm.

He was inside, right? He
was with the Brotherhood.

Wasn't he?

Well, I mean, I guess he
did everything he had to do

- to survive.
- Right.

I thought that, you know,

I'm gonna... I'm gonna mess
this up if I can't stay away

from these people and all.

I thought that maybe,

maybe you could, you
could speak to your son.

Or, maybe he can, he could
help me. You know, he...

He could help me with them.

Or he could help me get moved.

I just don't...

I just hope that maybe you
could speak to your son for me.

I will.

I will speak to him.

[RESTAURANT CHATTER]

Hey, hey. How you doing? Mike McLusky.

Nice to meet you, Mike.

Mike? How'd you find me?

Rebecca and your assistant
are, you know, tight.

Yeah, I just want to take a
minute of your time to, um,

- talk about our arrangement.
- Yeah. Not now, Mike.

What arrangement is that?

Well, you did a deal with people I know.

We got you peace in the streets.

Got you peacocking
in front of the press.

So I think it's about time you
held up your end of the deal

and sign them the f*ck out.

You think that. Huh?

f*ck yeah I do.

Talked to my friend over at Warwick.

I understand that there's
a major negotiation

within the city happening, and
with a reelection coming up,

- Mike...
- What?

- Please.
- First of all, your friends

at Warwick have a lot
more to lose by crossing me

than they have to
gain by supporting you.

And second of all, these
people you're advocating for

are dangerous criminals.

They were arrested because they
present a menace to society.

Now, why would I release them?

Because you made a f*cking
deal with them. That's why.

Deals are made and broken
all the time, Mr. McLusky.

Hand shakes, verbal,
paper. None of it matters.

It f*cking matters. Matters to them.

Deal's all they got, word is bond.

Interesting. Whatever happened to, uh,

no honor among thieves, huh?

You tell him about Milo Sunter?

Milo Sunter's dead.

Yeah. Maybe.

Or more likely just
walking around the streets

of your f*cking city with no DNA

or anything on the records of the dead.

Now, if you hold up to your
f*cking end of the deal,

I can give you something
to bait the hook.

Can flush him out.

Or I'll just go to the f*cking press

and tell 'em you knew Milo escaped

- and did f*ck all about it.
- That's DOC. It's not on me.

Do you think your voters
know the difference?

You're the face.

- I didn't know.
- You didn't?

Assistant DA knew.

No one's gonna believe that you didn't.

All right, let's get it done.

Good to see you, Evelyn.

[KNOCKING ON FRAME]

You got a second?

What's up?

What's this?

I need your signature.

Our friend from Tent City d*ed.

What?

Today. This morning.

You think we can...

just sweep this under the rug?

It's backdated.

Our asses are covered.

Inmates were involved
in a mutual combat.

He was found unresponsive
and tended to immediately.

Usual story. No one saw anything.

He sure ain't f*cking talking.

They will see his infirmary records.

Did he have follow-up care?

Didn't want to complain about the pain.

Didn't want to be seen as a p*ssy.

Leave it here.

sh*t is brutal.

I heard they got m*therf*ckers
digging graves or some sh*t.

f*cking sl*ve labor.
That's what this sh*t is.

This big business.

That's what this sh*t is.

sh*t gettin' done on the outside?

That's what they say, cuzzo.

f*ck this hayseed doing?

No bad intentions, brother.

I ain't your brother.

Well, spit it. The f*ck you want?

That bitch jumped at
you wasn't sanctioned.

Guy was a lone wolf and
earned himself a green light.

Wasn't just you on that pier.

If you're makin' moves to speed
things up, we got resources.

I'm just saying.

Hey CO!

This pallet jack is f*cked.

Look at this sh*t...

f*cking peckerwoods
bein' so friendly for?

I don't know.

I know we gotta get
the f*ck up outta here.

[MAN SCREAMING]

f*ck.

Bitch ass.

[MAN SCREAMING]

Oh, f*ck no!

What's up?

Just checking in. We doin' good?

- All good, G.
- Yeah. What about the salon?

Nobody even whispering
around this way no more.

sh*t's feeling like sh*t again.

Come on.

That's quiet.

Yeah.

Castle's intact. Just
needs its king back.

[PHONE VIBRATING]

- Hello. This is a collect call from...
- Yeah, it's Mike.

BUNNY: Bunny Washington.

At the Anchor Bay Correctional facility.

To accept the charge of
$. for minutes, press ,

to refuse press... You
may begin your call now.

- Hey, Bunny.
- I ain't got long. Aight?

I just want to let you know

that the path's been cleared and sh*t.

Okay? Time for you to do your thing.

What thing?

Your mayor thing, man. Get
me outta this place, Mike.

What path's been cleared, Bunny?

I did my sh*t, now it's your turn.

Get that bitch of
yours to sign the papers

and send my black ass home.

Catch you later, Mayor Mike.
