Post by bunniefuu »

[CALLAHAN] Take my hand, you survive.

Don't? You're not gonna make it.

Bunny may never see
another sunrise, Frank,

so it's up to you to push back.

They burned one of your shipments.

- You burn one of theirs.
- [TIRES SCREECH]


There's always repercussions.

[GASPS, GRUNTS]

A mistake was made by who?

Torres wasn't careful.

We got you a ride.

[INMATES SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

Frank is the one that hit you.

He is not a partner.

He's an assassin.

We're going to play him
and take him down legally.

Why the f*ck would I do that, Mike?

This gets my brother out.

We're gonna put this f*ck
in prison, then he's all yours.

If Mike passes, then so do

all the f*cking problems in this town.

Every man's got their
f*cking breaking point,

Mike, and he has f*cking crossed it.

We can't look after him anymore.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[SIGHS]

Ow.

[GROANS]

[PHONE RINGING]

Yeah.

No... No,

no, no, no, we're not there
yet. We-we search first.

The f*cking utility
closets, boilers, freezers,

f*cking tunnels, we search stem to stern

before we go nuclear. Copy?

Aw, f*ck.







[FRANK] Man, you got a f*cking

angel on your shoulder.

[SIGHS] Tell me about it.

- [KNOCKS SOFTLY]
- Knock knock.

- Hey.
- [MIKE] Hey.

Morning.

Not sure if they're
gonna let you eat, but...

- here you go.
- Oh, you hit the Q?

- Yeah, you know.
- My gut's the only thing

these m*therf*ckers missed, so, yeah.

Thank you, Mike. [CHUCKLES]

Yeah.

It's the simple f*cking things.

[FRANK] Close calls make you savor

all things, D.

I savor some payback's what I savor.

[FRANK] Mm-hmm.

KPD's on it.

They'll get the intel,
we'll get the targets.

[FRANK] They won't
suffer the Lord's wrath.

No, they're gonna suffer mine.

'Cause those close to me,

those I care for,

when made to hurt...

man, I go biblical.

Amen to that.

[FRANK] Mike, you point the way.

I got an army ready to follow.

Give those m*therf*ckers
a dose of Detroit.

- [FRANK] Consider it done, D.
- [LJ] Mm-hmm.

Put it out of mind.

- Put it out of mind?
- Mm-hmm.

No, f*ck that, Frank.

This ain't search and destroy.

This is capture and let me f*cking k*ll.

You bring 'em before
me. I don't care if I got

to wheel my a*s out of
this b*tch, I'm finna go

un-g*dd*mn-godly on these
m*therf*ckers, you feel me?

- [KNOCK ON DOOR]
- [FRANK] Oh, I feel you.

Gentlemen, too many of you.

You stay on the mend, youngblood.

All right, OG. See you out there.

[FRANK] Mm-hmm.

[MIKE] Yeah, he may be
full of piss and vinegar,


but he ain't out of the
woods. We have to handle this.

You're preaching to the converted, Mike.

We are ready for w*r.

Yeah.

Well, one of the Colombian hitters

was already taken out at Anchor Bay.

How you know that?

Well, it's my job.

- KPD's gonna find the rest.
- I hope so.

I've seen too many young men

like Deverin get cut down and PDs

not give a sh*t.

And, Mike, this is your town,

it's D's town, but you got to own it.

And I'll help see that done.

Yeah. Where's that leave you, Frank?

Leaves me free.

I'm not looking to stick around here.

There's something about this place.

- It's got a haunted nature.
- [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

[ELEVATOR DOOR OPENS]

[ELEVATOR DOOR CLOSES]

Hey.

How about that? These m*therf*ckers.

That was a lesson in
f*cking restraint, Mike.

- Don't got to tell me about it.
- Denzel? [SCOFFS]

He ain't got sh*t on me.

Look, you just keep
working on that restraint.

Let me work Lamar and Moses both, okay?

- Mm.
- Trust me?

[LAUGHS]

Yeah, Moses asked me

- the same g*dd*mn thing.
- f*ck him.

Mm.

I'm learning a hard
lesson right now, Mike.

Ambition come with risk.

That's true.

And you ain't ambitious.

That is also very true.

It's why I trust you.

[SIGHS]

Mistakes happen, Bunny.

You're alive, thank God,

- to rectify it.
- Yeah, barely.

Doc just said I was dead
on that table, cut open.

Mm.

Sixty-seven seconds, he said.

f*ck.

Did you see a light or anything?

[CHUCKLES] Nah, I
didn't see sh*t, dawg...

just nothing.

No tunnel, no light at
the end of that b*tch,

no-no pearly gates,

no St. Peter. It's just f...

f*cking... nothing.

And all the m*therf*ckers I lost,

I didn't see a single loved one.

Maybe I wasn't dead long
enough to see family.

You were dead longer
than you needed to be.

You hear me?

And you came back 'cause
you're supposed to be here.

Yeah.

Embrace them angels, right?

Smite those f*cking demons.

Send them back into
the f*cking darkness.

You'll get your reckoning.

[SLOW, SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]





[OMINOUS MUSIC]

[ALARM WAILING]

sh*t.

[IAN] f*ck.

[MOUTH FULL] Just got

my g*dd*mn breakfast. Jesus Christ.

Go. Go.

f*ck.

[ALARM CONTINUES WAILING]

[SIGHS]

f*cking alarm's ringing in my head.

It's like being in a
trench in World w*r I,

f*cking mustard gas and sh*t.

I don't think so.

Boo.

[SHAVER] Holy sh*t.

Holy f*cking sh*t.

Merle.

What the f*ck, man?

Surprise.

Oh, you know I got g*dd*mn
blown up a few weeks back.

f*ck, my bad. I hurt you?

Sorry. Well, f*cking come in, man,

and f*cking take a load off.

Nice digs.

[SNIFFLES, EXHALES]

[SHAVER] What can I do for you?

Anything you need... money, product.

[PETE] Product. That's what I'm talking.

♪ I hit the ground running,
take everything I need ♪


♪ And you can watch me go
and you can watch me go ♪


♪ I'm a red meat eater,
liar and a cheater ♪


♪ And I shook the hand of
God, I met him at my dealer ♪


Whoo!

Do you have a problem
with how I run things?

What you talking about?

What-what kind of problem could I have?

Guy like me is just grateful, you know,



Not what I hear.

What'd you hear?

- [SNIFFS]
- [CALLAHAN] You hurt me, Todd.

Not a physical hurt, mind you,

though emotional pain
can mimic that, sure.

- Merle...
- Now's when you shut the f*ck up.

Now, what we do here requires loyalty

and it requires continuity, a continuity

- of loyalty.
- I'm loyal, Merle,

to the f*cking marrow of my being.

Marrow of your being, oh. [CHUCKLES]

That's good.

You used to listen, Shaver,
read the books I told you

to read, write out the
lessons like a good pupil.

You listened once upon a time.

[ALARM CONTINUES WAILING]

That f*cking siren.

Well, sh*t, we ain't got all day.

KPD's sure to pay a visit.

Hope they do.

Merle. Merle!

Merle, come on...

Whatever you heard, it ain't true!

Merle, come on, man!
Give me another chance!

Merle, I... Merle!

Don't f*cking do it! [SHOUTS]

Merle, Merle! Don't...

- [PETE] Whoo!
- [SHAVER SCREAMING]

[ALARM CONTINUES WAILING]

k*ll the f*cking siren, please.

Fine-tooth comb, everybody.
Keep scouring just in case.

The inmates need to know
that we will maintain lockdown

until somebody gives something up.

This did not happen in a vacuum.

That's all.

[TENSE MUSIC]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[ALARM STOPS]

- Who is it?
- It's Mike McLusky,

Lamar, open the f*cking door.

[g*nf*re IN VIDEO GAME]

[CLICKS, SETS DOWN CONTROLLER]

Come on, don't got all f*cking day.

- Mike, what the f*ck?
- Yeah, "what the f*ck?" is right.

So, Lamar...

what did they offer you?

- What did they offer me for what, Mike?
- What, this f*cking Xbox, is that it?

What? Nobody offered me sh*t.

m*therf*cker, Cole set
you up with Bunny, right?

You've been living in
Detroit these last two years.

- I was born in Detroit, Mike.
- Six months ago,

you get busted dealing
on one of Frank's corners,

you dumb f*ck.

Anything to say?

No? Okay, how about now?

- How about now?
- Whoa. Whoa-whoa-whoa.

Mike, Mike, Mike, f*ck, come on, man.

I mean, yeah, okay? I...

I was busted in Detroit, all right?

Not no light sh*t we talking
about either, you feel me?

f*cking gray hair type of sh*t.

And Moses made that go away.

Yeah.

You dumb f*ck.

You're in a world of trouble, Lamar.

Bunny finds out what you did...

you're a dead man.

Frank finds out that I made you,

you're a f*cking dead man.

Either way, you're gonna
face the f*cking blowtorch,

and they're both taking bets on how long

- they can keep you alive.
- This is f*cked-up.

This is so f*cked-up. Okay, okay, uh,

maybe-maybe I can run.

All right? Let me run, Mike.

- L-Let me leave Kingstown.
- KPD's onto you,

- that's not an option.
- Moses gave me some cash.

I can give it to you. I don't want it.

I don't give a sh*t about it.

There's a way out of this.

A way you can make it up to Bunny.

But you got to do exactly
as I f*cking tell you.

You don't, you question me,

you'll wish you chose that blowtorch.

You'll be begging to f*cking die.

[PHONE BUZZING]

Hey, who climbed over the wall?

You are the first to hear, Mike.

It was an Aryan firebug,

uh, Pete McDonough,
and, uh, Merle Callahan.

f*ck. When?

I don't know. Wasn't discovered
till count this morning.

- What about lights out?
- You know, some C.O.


had his head up his a*s

or turned a blind eye.
They've got ten hours on us.

Could be in Canada by now.

Uh, that reasons, Nina,

but Callahan is not f*cking reasonable.

We are on lockdown,

BOLOs been issued,

staties and Feds are on alert.

None of that helps us.

Well, you know, tell me
if you need something.

I'm gonna need you to
lower the drawbridge.


Line up all the Aryans in one place.

That's how you can help.

[PHONE RINGING]

All's quiet here, Mike, you coming in?

Bec, I need you to get out now, okay?

- Why? What happened?
- The escapee.

I'm the target. I need you to
lock up, get the f*ck out now.

All right?

[PHONE BUZZES]

- Yeah.
- It's Callahan,

- some AB f*cking pyro.
- Wha... what?

- Yeah, look, I'm going to Shaver's.
- No, f*ck,

Mikey, don't go to Shaver's.

Callahan is not Shaver's
friend. What are you doing?

Look, if he's skipping town,

- he's gonna need a bank.
- No, Mike,


he's not f*cking
skipping town, all right?


Yeah, yeah, yeah.

f*ck hung up on me. Let's go.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

- [FLIES BUZZING]
- [SIGHS]

Jesus Christ.

[SIGHS] f*ck.

[LIGHTER IGNITES]

Let's get the f*ck out of here.

[SNIFFLES, EXHALES]

[SIGHS]

Hey.

Time to cut loose.

I'll see you on the other side.

[TRUCK DOOR OPENS]

Damn, I feel like f*cking driving.

[PETE CHUCKLES]

- [PETE] Whoo!
- [ENGINE STARTS]

[SLOW, SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[FLIES BUZZING]

- This is some f*cking overkill.
- [IAN] I got one for you.

A f*cking psycho and a pyromaniac

walk into a f*cking cookhouse.

[SCOFFS] Money, meth's gone.

Traveling money.

Mikey, I hate to argue with
your f*cking logic here,

but how many times does this guy
got to threaten your f*cking life?

[MIKE] He's across the border, Ian.

- What, in f*cking Canada?
- Yeah.

You think that Callahan's
got a cabin by a f*cking lake

- in Canada?
- Sounds nice.

Well, I'm sure it is
nice. I would like it.

But Callahan wouldn't. This f*ck wants

one thing only. He's fueled by violence,

and he's f*cking coming for you.

Okay, well, let's find out.

- Okay? Come on, let's go.
- Mike.

- Oh, f*ck me.
- Let's f*cking find out.

f*ck me.

Jesus Christ.

[SLOW, SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Where's your shadow?

David called in sick today.

Oh.

That happen often?

No.

I isolated the Aryans.

What else do you need?

Just want to make sure that
we're okay moving forward.

That your people are satisfied,
that you're satisfied.

You're a son of a b*tch, you know that?

I'm not your enemy, Nina.

I'm your future.

You know what I learned
about the future?

It doesn't f*cking exist.

Let's just get through
today, how about that?

All right.

Where are the Aryans?

They're on the range.

Hey.

You did the right thing.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

This is where it happened, man.

Where they m*rder*d Kareem Moore.

[LOCK BUZZES]

[GATE CLANGS SHUT]

- Long time, Marc.
- f*ck you want, Mike?

- You come here to thank me?
- Not today.

- Where's Callahan?
- [CHUCKLES]

Take these cuffs off,
Mike, I'll tell you.

You know I can't do that.

Looks like you can do
whatever the f*ck you want.

Besides, I saved your f*cking

- brother's life...
- [IAN] Shut the f*ck up.

Look, Callahan did not
bust out without a plan,

so what was it? Where is he?

[SCOFFS]

You want these cuffs
off, don't you, boy?

You eyeballing me?

You want to take a run
at the Lord's chosen.

Take his cuffs off. Take his cuffs off.

[MARC] Yeah, let's take 'em off.

- Oh...
- Let's f*cking do it.

- [MARC LAUGHS]
- Let's do it.

f*cking mouthpiece.

Yeah.

[MARC] I'll make it quick, Mike.

[MIKE] Christ.

You got something you
want to say to me, huh?

[EXHALING DEEPLY]

Yeah.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[IAN] f*ck him up, Stevie. Come on.

[STEVIE] All right, come on.

All right, come on, let's go.

Let's go, you White Tr*sh cr*cker f*ck.

- [STEVIE] Yeah.
- Come on.

Very f*cking interesting. [GRUNTS]

[GRUNTING]

f*ck.

[GRUNTING]

You f*cking Black b*stard.

[STEVIE] Yeah, this Black
b*stard's whupping your a*s.

Not so easy, huh?

One-on-one, you can't swarm a man.

[GRUNTING]

All right.

Stevie, you're gonna f*cking k*ll him!

You're gonna k*ll this f*cking c**t.

Hold on. You're gonna k*ll him.

- f*ck off.
- [STEVIE] m*therf*cker ain't

gonna piss right for a
month, man, I'm f*cking great.

'Cause you're great. You are great.

[MIKE] Okay, you, you need
to listen to me carefully.

[MARC GROANS]

I'm gonna put you in the hole, okay?

And I recommend that you
stretch, 'cause they're going

to run a train on you and
make you the jizz wagon

for your cellblock. How's that sound?

- Does that make sh*t more interesting?
- [COUGHS]

Yeah, didn't think so.

So why don't you be a
good boy, use your words,

give me some answers?

Where is he? That's
your f*cking question?

- Yeah.
- Where do you think, Mike?

Wherever you are, you f*ck.

Wherever you are,
you f*cking Judas piece of sh*t.

Don't forget to stretch.

Don't sleep, Mike.

- Don't you f*cking blink.
- Okay.

- He's coming, Mike!
- All right.

Anything else you want
to do? Last chance.

Nah, I'm good.

I'm good.

- Okay.
- [IAN] Mike,

he's f*cking here. That's
exactly what I f*cking told you.

We need eyes on you, 24-f*cking-7.

I don't think that's gonna
make much of a difference.

- See you later, Marc.
- [IAN] Mike.

[GROANS]

- Come on.
- What do you want to do?

Just let him come, huh?
Let him f*cking come.

Saves me the trouble.

[SOMBER MUSIC]

[SIGHS DEEPLY]

[HOBBS] Stephens.

Warden.

You headed to Ad Seg?

Yeah.

I'll-I'll walk with you.

Did you observe anything
about the escaped prisoner

that might help locate him?

No, I can't think of anything.

When he was in Ad Seg, you observed him.

Yeah.

He was housed next to Inmate 081693,

and I know at one point
you expressed concern

to the deputy warden.

Can you tell me about that?

Well, that inmate was missing.
There was no transfer order.

And you were concerned?

He was a high-risk inmate,

- former police officer.
- Yeah, I understand.

So you were concerned
for his well-being.

He wasn't in the infirmary

or the exercise cell, so
I was following protocol.

Look, Stephens, there's
no need to get defensive.

I'm on your side.

I know you are a single mom,

so if there's any unsolicited requests

or any unwanted attention,
you come to me right away.

[BUZZER SOUNDS]

Thank you, Warden.

You know, men smell weakness,

they take advantage.

The manipulation is so
subtle and slow-moving,

you barely even
recognize it's happening.

I'm familiar.

Okay, you don't have a
corrections background, do you?

No, I don't.

Okay, whatever you think you know,

it's different here.

If you step out of your prescribed role,

ever, you are in for a world of hurt.

I'm here if you need me.

[BUZZER SOUNDS]

[LJ] Different city, same w*r.

Colombians were bolder than we thought,

- I'll give 'em that.
- [JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY]

There can only be one
MacArthur with this sh*t,

and that's got to be me.

[HOSTESS] I knew we had a bottle.

Thank you.

Hey.

- What do you want to listen to, LJ?
- [CHUCKLES]

Um... give me some Freddie Hubbard.

[LAUGHTER]

Have some Freddie with some

f*cking "Dolphin Dance," huh?

[LAUGHTER]

Where'd we see him?

There was f*cking snow everywhere,

it was a cold night.

[LJ] Mm...

[LAUGHING]

Rochester. [LAUGHING]

Had to be at least 40 years ago.

sh*t. We were always ready for Freddie.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Got to be ready for anything.



Oh, that's better than
a kick in the head, huh?

All these years, we're
still f*cking here,

holding things down while
everybody else is in the dirt.

Even Freddie.

I think we need easier times, Frank.

You got something to say?

No, no. It's...

There's got to be a finish line.

There's got to be a way out.

[PHONE BUZZING]

- Hey.
- Hey.

Can you get a crime scene tech

ABs f*cking trashed it.

Mikey, I don't think
we're gonna need it here.


We got a witness spotted

the f*cking firebug.
We're on our way now.

What do you mean?

It's your house, Mike.

It's... it's Mariam's.
This f*ck's blasted

- McLusky.

Look at me, look at me.
Where is he? Hey, where is he?

He wanted me to burn
your house down, Mike.

- Where's f*cking Callahan?
- He ain't here, b*tch.

Call from Tracy McLusky.

[BABY MITCH CRYING OVER PHONE]

- Hey.
- [CRYING CONTINUES]

Kyle...

What is it, Trace, what's wrong?

[CALLAHAN] Told you
I walk through walls.


[QUIET, OMINOUS MUSIC]

Everything you love, Kyle,

in my hands.

[KYLE] What...

Let her go, Merle.

Let her go. You don't
want her, you want me.


I'll-I'll go back into
Gen Pop. You want me there?

That's where I'll f*cking go.

[CALLAHAN] Aw, too late,

brother, too late.



Look, just tell me what you want.

- This.
- [CRYING CONTINUES]

Exactly this is what I want.

I will k*ll you, Merle.

I will f*cking k*ll you!

- k*ll you!
- [CALL CLICKS OFF]


No! No! Officer! Officer!

Officer, please!

- There's a f*cking...
- What happened?

Merle Callahan is with my wife.

You need to call the Belleville, Ohio,

PD. You tell them to send units

to 235 Washington Avenue, okay?

- 235. 235 Washington Avenue.
- f*cking hurry!

Tell them there's a m*rder in process!

There's a m*rder in f*cking process! No!



You don't have to do this.

I mean, I know you
don't want to do this.

[BABY MITCH CRYING]

You're wrong, dear.

You're wrong. I have no choice

but to do this.

"Want" ain't really
part of the equation.

[CALLAHAN SHUSHING]

[QUIETLY] Good boy, good boy.

But you wanted Kyle to know you're here.

You wanted that. That
make it worthwhile?

Well, makes the punishment
more impactful, for sure.

It's not personal,
Tracy, hard as that is

to understand. It's punishment.

For Kyle, yes, but, you
and Kyle, you're incidental.

You know who I'm punishing,
and you know he deserves it.

Then just k*ll him. Go back to Kingstown

and f*cking k*ll Mike.

k*ll the one deserves it,
spare the ones who don't.

I am sorry.

At least spare Mitch.
Spare my son, please.

Mitch?

You named your son
after the dead brother.

He does not deserve this.

My son does not deserve this.

Eh, it's all fruit off the
same f*cking poison tree,

far as I'm concerned.

Truth is, I don't know
what you deserve, Tracy.

The only consolation I can offer is

who gets what they deserve?

[CRYING] Not my baby.

- Show me one, just one.
- Never the right people,

never the right people, never.

Make yourself comfortable.

Close your eyes, if you want.

This is how the story ends.

This is it. This is...

Breathe.

[GASPS, SOBS]

Please don't, please don't hurt my son.

Please don't hurt my baby. Please.
