Previously on Mayor of Kingstown
How long they planning

How long's it gonna
take you to get
your house together inside?
Down on the ground, now.
- You don't know who my grandson is.
- That's why we're here.
That was not supposed to happen.
There's gon' be some payback.
This shit's gonna hit close to home.
Get me the fuck outta here.
Patrol caught him a few blocks up.
I wanna talk to him.
Oh my God, what happened?
He resisted.
This is your new home.
Hope dies, we die.
Let's talk about my favor.
What am I moving?
Look for metal.
If you find it, you are the savior.
If they find it
God help you.
Everything okay over there?!
Yeah! Yeah, all good!
Just thought I hit a fuckin'
old sewage line or somethin'!
It's just trash!
Inmate Brown. 991913.

Motherfuckers gettin' transferred?
- Someone is.

The fuck should I know?
You should be feeling peachy.
You get a new fucking bed.
Some food, get out of
this blistering heat.
- Where?
- It matter?
There are five fuckin'
houses in this town.
Another three within six hours.
They'll spread you out like
manure and see what grows.
- Fuck you.
- You wanna stay here?
I got a deal, motherfucker. Aight?
Gimme your phone.
Fuck you!
Give your fuckin' phone
man, I'm gotta call Mike.
Yo, yo, yo, hey, hey, hey! Hey!
Don't forget who the fuck you are.
Because at the end of the day,
I go home, I crack a cold
beer, I get in my warm bed,
I get some hot pussy.
And you stay right where
the fuck you are, LeBron.
You know
Mike gon' find out
about this shit, aight?
And when he do, I'mma
be crystal fucking clear
who was hookin' a brother up,
and who was gettin' away
with the goddamn plan.
You feel me?
You better prepare to drop to
them boney-ass knees of yours
for some dick suckin' if Mike find out
you got in the way of
this world gettin' right.
Phone!
What? Yeah?
Carney?
They movin' people, Mike.
You know about this, motherfucker?
- Bunny!
- Mike, you supposed to
- be on this shit!
- How'd you get his phone?
You supposed to be the
driver of the fuckin' wagon,
not the goddamn horse, Mike!
Yeah, look. I'll get into it.
Look, my motherfuckin' name
better not be get called in this bitch.
Jesus, Bunny, will you
relax for God's sakes?
Look Bunny, they're not
gonna call your name!
Okay?
I mean, they move inmates all the time.
It's probably a reaction to
a fight, something stupid.
They're makin' a statement.
Alright? You seen any of the
main players marchin' out?
- No, not yet.
- Exactly.
It's some asshole in Capitol Hill!
All right? He's just swingin' a dick.
I'll take care of it! You hear me?
Now, Mike. Deal with this shit now.
'Cause I don't like this feelin'.
The only place I'm supposed
to be gettin' transferred to
is my fuckin' bed, Mike.
You hear that?
I got it! Don't worry, all right?
Fuck. This is my morning.
Good fucking morning to me.
Motherfucker.
Hey, Mike. You got a second?
- Yeah.
- Sorry, Mike.
No, you're not talkin' to
anybody, you understand me?
Every time you open your mouth,
you add another year to your sentence.
- You seen Evelyn?
- In her office.
She's elbow deep in it.
They're sharpening their
knives after that riot.
The massacre on 23rd?
Not a good look for the home team.
They bounce the DA, I
don't think they're playin'
next man up.
Yeah. Okay, thanks.
- Hey, Mike.
- Yeah?
This guy goes in, you got
any swing at Anchor Bay?
Yeah, let me know where he lands,
I'll see what I can do.
- You got it.
- Thanks, Mike!
- Yeah.
- What did I say to you?
- She inside?
- Yes.
Hey.
So
Did you know about this shit show?
What happened to your face?
Clearin' out Tent City.
Yeah.
Mike, how long did you think
that this was gonna keep goin'?
Well, I don't know, Evelyn!
Maybe long enough for us
to finish what we started.
Right?
I mean, why put the
fuckin' leaders inside
if they have no chance to lead?
I don't have control over
the moves the DOC makes!
Or the moves that you
and your associates make.
Honestly, Mike, I have so much
shit on my plate right now,
I do not have room for gravy.
Gravy?
You made deals, Evelyn.
Deals with my name
in your fuckin' mouth.
Like I said. Bigger problems.
The ACLU is lookin' for
someone to take the fall
for the deaths in the prison.
I have DOJ fuckin' pressure.
They're lookin' to burn this
whole fuckin' house down.
Including me.
And this house might fall
on your SWAT friend, too,
so forgive me if I don't give a shit
if a couple of street
criminals are inconvenienced.
We made a deal with Bunny Washington
and the other generals.
Do you understand that?
The DA is working on release
papers, but this is
complicated.
For all of us.
And once he signs,
the judge still has to sign off, too.
You're so full of shit, Evelyn!
You know what? Just fuckin' leave, Mike.
I don't have the time or the
fuckin' bandwidth for this.
This guy's fucking using the
bus that I fucking gave him
for his own fuckin' benefit!
To make him look like
less of a limp dick
than he already fuckin' is.
He's gonna fuck it up, Evelyn!
More bodies. More fuckin' chaos.
You want that?
Fuckin' prick.
He doesn't know these people
I do
And when shit goes south on the inside,
it's gonna find him on the outside.
Did you just fucking threaten
the District Attorney, Mike?
Just get him to sign the
fuckin' papers, would ya?!
Evelyn, I need my guy the fuck out.
I don't really have a job right now.
Although Mike, he says
he needs my help, I can help out,
some shit like that, but
I don't know.
Havin' a kid.
Namin' him after you.
I just don't
I don't know what to do, Mitch.
I, I feel like I'm
really fuckin' this up.
You know, I just need
some fuckin' help, man.
I just
If you could fuckin' help me out,
I'd really appreciate it.
Fuck.
I don't control shit in here,
Mike, you know?
I mean, I can tell
you when somebody gets
transferred or moved,
but other than that, my
hands are tied right now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it.
Just be my eyes and ears, all right?
If anything moves out there.
- No shit.
- Okay? Thank you.
Good morning. What's up?
Oh, just
It's fuckin' weird bein' here.
This
place looks just like the old one.
Yeah.
You want some?
Yeah, please.
Where the fuck's Rebecca?
She's a Post-It note.
"Back in five" it said.
What's up, Brother?
Oh, Jesus.
I need a job, Mike. Not a chore.
Like a fuckin' job, job.
And I can help, man.
I'm good at shit.
You know? I can
I'm a fuckin' worker, man.
You know that.
Yeah, that's why I sent you to
the train station, the buses,
to find Iris, you know?
And I did that.
But I can't keep posting up, just
waitin' for her to appear, Mike.
I can do shit here.
I, I can free up time for you.
Because you've got a full house, Mike.
Been that way ever since the riot.
You need hands, Brother.
I got idle ones.
I need to contribute, Mike.
You know, a man's gotta
you know, feel like
he's worth somethin'.
You know?
Okay, here's the deal
This stuff is as good as money.
Technically, they don't exist
because they were used with
a bunch of criminal stuff.
But, and this is a big but
Technically
Though they aren't issuing them anymore,
if the issuer is still active,
the value of the bonds can be recovered.
So, even if we get back a
tenth of what they're worth,
we're still fuckin' millionaires.
Inmate Mann. 617178.
Report to exit checkpoint.
I get a word?
Speak.
Me and you.
This is some fucked-up shit,
you know what I'm sayin'?
Uh-huh.
Your boy screwed us.
He ain't my boy 'til
he make this shit right.
Mike's supposed to
know how this shit goes,
supposed to be one of us.
What the hell that mean?
You think he played us.
- He ain't like that.
- You sure?
I don't see that motherfucker
rattlin' no cages.
All I see is him outside,
and you stuck in this cage
waitin' to be shipped out
like some fucking cattle
to the slaughterhouse.
You best be careful,
you got that damn name
in your mouth, Casper.
I'm just sayin'.
We don't get outta here soon,
don't know when we'll ever get out.
Way I see it,
you did some assault
and shit in here already.
You fucked a brother up good.
Wrong dude gets eyes on that,
you're lookin' at another
ten before you even start.
Tell your boy to do his fuckin' job.
You been in my lockbox?
You do not want none of
this smoke, Shortcake.
I ain't fuckin' around!
I had cash, and I had pills.
Okay, so you wanna do this?
I just wanna know where my shit is.
You're new.
So I'mma save that pretty face.
The cash you had is probably upstairs.
And those pills you keep
in that little baggie?
Probably just went in your mouth.
Okay?
Let's go, ladies!
We got money to make!
Fuckin' bitch.
The matriarch hyena does the hunting.
They're not like most animals.
They band together
to stop fights.
And deal with the
problems inside the clan.
Are you
going to be a problem in our clan, Iris?
Give me ten.
Got news for me?
This fuckin' DA. This prick.
He's takin' a victory lap for this bust.
Give him a minute,
then he's gonna sign the fuckin' papers,
he's gonna get the judge to stamp it,
and then you're out in
the free world, okay?
Then we're done here.
They're shippin' people
out every day, Mike.
A week from now,
they gonna be tearin'
this whole place down.
I know.
Look man, I ain't fuckin' with
gettin' back on this ride, Mike.
This was supposed to
be a temporary deal.
It is.
It ain't feelin' like it, Mike.
I ain't here for settin'
up the game all over again,
in some Anchor Bay
bullshit-style pen, Mike!
I'm not! I set the order here!
I did my shit. It's
your fuckin' turn, man!
Yes, you did.
And I'm getting my side done, okay?
Just relax.
I'm pissin' in a fuckin' trough, man.
I'm the king of Mudville
up in this bitch.
Now you, you tellin'
me to be cool and shit?
Wait for you to get the
order goin' on the outside,
while I get shipped over
to who the fuck knows where?
I'm gonna get you the fuck outta here.
Okay? You have my word.
Just
Put Rafael on point,
right? Set him up, and
No, man, he can't run shit
in my shadow, all right?
As long as I'm here, I'm point.
You know how this work.
I need you to continue trusting me.
Man, it's startin' to feel like
trusting you is bad for business, Mike.
You got motherfuckers in this bitch
lookin' at you sideways.
And I can't blame 'em.
You don't get this shit
right right fuckin' fast,
I cannot stop shit from doin'
what the fuck it's gonna do, baby.
People gon' take their own.
And right now, you got some
angry-ass motherfuckers
lookin' right at you.
Who?
It's hard to say who's
gonna come knockin'.
I'll handle it.
Man, you ain't bulletproof
any more than Mitch was, man.
And that shit was some random-ass shit.
This shit right here,
it's not gon' be that.
This shit gon' be some payback.
Thanks for the warning.
You on the clock now, Mike.
Every second. Every minute.
We're all on the clock, Bunny.
Since the day we're fuckin' born.
Okay? This is all just borrowed time.
Mike, get your shit in order,
or they comin' for your ass.
And soon.
Reachin' a point of no return.
Wait in the car.
We gonna be late, Dad.
Just be a minute.
Makin' this a habit.
Yeah, I needed to get you first thing.
Well, use the phone.
- I'm takin' my kid to school.
- Well, I would.
Just give me a minute,
though. I know, I get it.
Do you
Did you get heads up on
these fuckin' transfers?
I get a heads up, yeah.
You didn't wanna share that?
Like you shared that smackdown?
Trying to insulate you in that shit.
Come on, now.
Jesus fuck.
- Can you slow roll this shit?
- It's not my call.
All I do is sign off on the transfers,
then track deliveries.
Like, like FedEx.
All right, keep Bunny
and all the other leaders
inside Tent City.
All right, if they get fuckin' moved
before they're supposed to be released,
this whole thing is
gonna fuckin' fall apart.
You askin' or tellin'?
Come on. Just fuckin' do it.
Who do you think you're talking to?
You're not the mayor to me, Mike.
I don't work for you.
I'm supposed to kid glove these guys,
because it helps some
"plan" you think you got?
You know the sayin',
"Everybody got a plan 'til
they get punched in the face."
Well, I've been punched in the face,
so I'm makin' my own plans, now.
Come on! Hey, hey, hey, come on.
We lose Bunny
And you lose all the other generals
you lose the fuckin' prison.
And then we lose fuckin' Kingstown.
It's fuckin' Gomorrah all over again.
And there's nowhere
safe for your kid to go.
I'm not asking you to fuckin' help me.
I get nothing outta this.
I'm tellin' you to
fuckin' help yourself.
You have the power, Kareem. So use it.
All right?
What's goin' on there, Horace?
Hey, Colton.
I thought you and the lady kicked.
I just
I got a question.
I need some help, and I
didn't know who to ask.
Look man, you got somethin' to pawn?
If you wanna buy some shit
or score some shit, I got you.
Otherwise I ain't got time for
your "Dear Abby" shit right now.
What the fuck am I supposed
to do with this shit?
I can give you 50 grand
worth of these things.
You give me 10 grand, we're solid.
You got me on camera right now?
What? No.
'Cause I figure this gotta be
some Candid Camera bullshit.
I looked it up, man. This
shit's worth real money.
Look man, if you wanna
buy some shit, I got you.
Otherwise, get your
skinny ass out of my store.
And take your old-timey
bank notes with you.
It's as real as cash,
man, I swear, like
fuckin' traveler's checks.
Go take a trip, take your
girl, go to Paris, have fun.
Get the fuck outta my store.
I don't know how to move 'em.
I just thought, you know
I thought you might know someone.
There's someone I know,
you don't wanna know.
But I'm gonna tell you a
truth you already know, Horace.
Trying to mess around with
shit like this paper will
take you to a bad place.
A place you don't wanna be at.
So build a fire, have a
party. Burn all this shit up.
Forget the hopes and dreams
you placed on that shit.
You hear me?
Who do you know? Please.
What is that book?
Like you care.
No, I do.
It's about slaves in ancient Rome.
I care about slaves in ancient Rome.
Give me a break.
Ian!
Give me one second, one second.
Danny, what's up?
Man, it's gonna get freakin' hairy.
Anchor Bay is dumpin'
'em by the thousands.
What are you talkin' about?
All of the prisons are doin' it.
They're kickin' the non-violents
back out on the streets,
and makin' room for the tent dwellers.
Let's see how long it takes for
the non-violent to get violent.
- All right, thank you.
- All right.
Did you hear that?
I did.
Jesus Christ, it's gonna be
a goddamn mess out there, Mariam.
This kid is part of the problem.
We let him off last week.
And what'd he do?
Went out and did it again,
only used a goddamn gun.
I, I, I just wanna talk to him.
Yeah, well, you'll talk to him.
You'll talk to a whole
group of them, like you do.
Well, I wanna talk to Marco.
Mariam, it's not gonna work like that.
I pulled strings to get you in here.
And besides, this kid's
not gonna wanna talk to
the lady that he jumped
last week, all right?
Mariam, I know it sounds shitty.
But honestly, I mean,
he's not even gonna
remember what you look like.
Yeah. Okay.
Hello.
Um
I thought maybe we could
just talk between ourselves.
If anybody has anything to say
No, no. Of course not.
Well, I'll go first.
Okay, so I'm Mariam McLusky.
I moved to Kingstown when I married,
and my husband had a job here.
And we had three sons.
I've been working in prisons,
oh, for almost 50 years now.
But I've never worked
in juvenile before.
So, this is a first.
When my boys were about your age,
their father was shot
and killed in a drive-by.
Then, last year, my oldest son
was shot and killed in a robbery.
And I just sort of
filled up with rage.
I took it out a lot on my middle boy.
But really, I was just angry
with the world.
And I wonder if any of you can
My pop was killed on our front porch
outside of our house
while I was doing homework.
- She say talk?
- Oh, yes.
Oh, I want them to talk. Thank you.
But they can talk. Please, go on.
That's all I've got to say.
What's your name?
Jacob.
Fuckin' killed my baby sister
right outside her goddamn school.
Caught up in some bullshit.
No trial, no protests, no nothin'.
Why you here, anyway?
I know who you are.
I know who your son is.
Well
Last month, in the prison riot,
both my boys were
trapped inside the prison
when it was on fire,
and I didn't think that I
would ever see them again.
And when they walked out
something inside of me
just cracked wide open.
And it's like all the
rage leaked out.
And what was left was thankfulness.
Then last week, I was mugged,
and the boy punched me
and he threw me down,
but he didn't break anything.
And
He just took my cash.
He left me my photos,
and my wallet, my bag.
And I don't know, I
guess I'm just still
thankful.
Excuse me. I'm supposed
to talk to Joseph.
It's your funeral.
You know where he is?
Hi. I'm Iris.
Hello, Iris.
I'm Michael, Mike.
So, you just found this?
And there are more?
Yeah
at my construction site.
They are still there?
No, please
They're safe, man.
They're in a safe place.
Where is safe?
You want 'em?
Sure there'd be like,
like millions worth.
I'll give 'em to ya
pennies on the dollar.
We're making deals, now?
Yeah, what's up, Bunny?
Hey, shit is poppin'
off over here, Mike.
You need to get your ass
down over to the tents.
Now, motherfucker!
Okay. Be right there.
Hey, Stevie. What's up?
Hey, Mikey. You need
to come to the station.
No, I can't.
I Just tell me.
Yeah, I got somethin'
that you wanna see, man.
We gotta figure out a play
before Chief gets wind of it.
All right, I'll come in tomorrow.
Mikey, I'm not tryin' to be pushy.
You need to see this.
This is somethin' they ain't
gonna keep 'til tomorrow.
Fuck. Jesus.
Fuck, Steve, fine!
Five minutes, all right?
That's all I need.
- Meet me out back.
- I'm comin'.
All right, Stevie. What have you got?
Look.
Lady said her husband dug up a
box of these at his work site.
Where is this box?
Lock up.
She threw 'em in a fuckin' gym bag.
Jesus Christ.
I couldn't just fuckin' leave 'em
sittin' out there, man.
Well, how many of these does she have?
I don't know. A lot.
Like, probably fuckin' all of 'em.
Fuck.
Mike, I gotta know how deep
we're gonna go here with this.
Look, we gotta keep 'em
out of the fuckin' system,
first of all.
Okay? Can you buy me a minute?
That's what I'm doin'.
Anybody else know you got these?
Just dropped in.
So, what's up with this lady?
She don't give a shit
about the bonds, man.
She's just tryin' to
protect her husband.
Where is he?
Not sure, man.
Okay, all right, look.
Tell her that we're gonna
take care of the bonds, okay?
And that she should go home
and wait for her husband.
If he doesn't come back,
she should find a new fuckin' zip code.
All right? I gotta go.
Put these in your fuckin'
trunk or somethin'.
Milo's gonna come
lookin' for what's his.
You understand?
Don't talk to anybody about this shit.
This shit's baited!
Let's see what we get.
What have I done?
Oh no!
Fuck!
Calm down, calm down! No
lifeguard on duty, no swim!
Y'all can stop pushin' and
calm your little asses down.
Nobody gets near that pool 'til
there's a lifeguard on duty.
Show time.
Sorry, y'all! My bad, my bad.
Car problems.
Look, before we open up these gates,
we havin' a safety meetin'.
All right? No runnin'.
No food in the pool.
And you wanna turn that
down while I'm talkin'?
Thank you.
All right!
I warn you once!
You're out for 15 minutes.
I warn you twice!
Out for 30.
Three times, go ahead
and call your mama,
'cause your day is done here.
We good?
Yeah!
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
What'd I say? No runnin'!
- They don't listen, do they?
- No, they don't.
- Cannonball!
- Walk, walk, walk!
Aah!
Next time on Mayor of Kingstown
The only person that's
gonna kill for these bonds
is the person that can flip them.
You're saying Milo's still out there?
Let's work together, Mike.
Get shit back to the way that it was.
They transferred all
the inmates out of Tent City.
Bunny looked after the world. Know that.
You best get him out,
or the fuzz gonna be
comin' your way too.
Don't you think if Mike
McLusky could fix this,
he would've fixed it by now?
When I say I'll do a thing,
that thing gets fucking done.
