1
Previously 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?
The fuck is that?
I grabbed them. We're good.
I found the rat.
Who is it?
It was fucking Ben Morrisey.
Fucker, he was in it with us.
Robert and his guys are heroes,
they saved our fucking lives.
You know how this goes.
I thought maybe it'd be
nice for us to get out
for a bit of a field trip, you know.
Get you outta here for a
minute, get some fresh air.
Would you like that?
I would.
You see this shit?
They be swarming like
motherfucking bees.
The field is level, that
means no fucking drones.
We made a fucking deal.
Mike, you gotta call me back, man.
I fucking found her.
I found Iris.
Mike?
Can I get another one?
No, don't worry about the ice, please.
Okay, you got it.
Thank you.
You don't look like a pro.
That right?
Just saying, it's a little early
to be getting your swerve on.
Okay.
- Another?
- Please.
So, uh, where's Billy?
Dead.
Fuck.
He was my grandpa.
I'm sorry.
Yeah. He died two years ago.
Guess I haven't been here a while.
Hey, uh, it's none of my business,
but, uh, guy like you
comes into a bar like this,
drinking like Genghis Khan went to war?
I mean, you can keep drinking that shit,
but ain't enough in the
bottle to drown in, so
None of my business to
be telling a grown man
how to live his life.
You're right.
None of your fucking business.
I'm just taking a day.
Nothing darker or deeper than that.
Take a pause, reset.
I'm gonna leave you these, okay?
And I'm gonna come back for them,
and it's your job to
tell me to fuck off.
No matter what I say.
Okay. How long are you gonna be?
Long as it takes.
Well, my shift is 10:00 to 6:00.
Understood.
Does your, uh, grandpa still
have the safe in the back?
- Yeah.
- All right.
What the fuck?
What the Are you
gonna fucking rob me?
No, I'm not fucking robbing you.
Put this back in the safe, would you?
And I'm gonna come back for this.
But this, you're gonna give to me.
Understand?
Here. That's for you.
Have a nice fucking day.
We don't got those here.
But who knows. Right?
This isn't sizzle, heat
it up just a little.
What you cooking?
They ain't had no fucking andouille.
So this some old dirty
rice combination, you know?
Okay.
They giving you presents now?
Naw, I got this for you.
The fuck?
Open that shit up, man. Come on.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Shit.
Bruh, I fucks with this.
I wanted you to have some
company when I'm gone.
Yeah, you better hope you
gone soon, motherfucker,
'cause I'm gonna be making beats
on this bitch day and night.
I'm going today.
Guess the mayor got his mojo back.
Ain't gonna put nobody
else in here with you.
All right.
You the boss up in
this motherfucker now.
You feel me?
I got you.
All right.
This is Mike. Leave a message.
Michael, hi. I'm so sorry to pester you,
but they're moving Jacob
out of juvenile tomorrow,
and he's really, he's very fragile.
He could use your help.
Okay? Would you call me back
when you get this, honey?
Thanks. Bye-bye.
- Michael.
- No, Mom, it's me.
Hey. Have you seen him?
No, I was just gonna
ask you the same thing.
No, I can't find him.
Ian can't find him. Nobody can.
Well, is he okay?
Yeah, yeah, I think he Yeah.
I'm not worried like that or anything.
No, I just got something to tell him.
Um, look, if you do see him
or if you do talk to him,
you tell him I'm looking
for him and to call me, okay?
Yeah, and you do the same for me.
I will, okay. Bye.

- All right. Okay.
Jesus fucking Christ.
How's it feel to be on the

Lucky I don't grab your nuts.

You, roll with me.
Motherfucker still feel like 5-0.
Building a motherfucking
palace up in here.
Yeah, nice.
Watch your head there.
No. No, no, no.
Why you bringing trouble

We at capacity up here.
Motherfucker saying

Oh, you the guy?
Yeah.
Shit, the one that got

Yeah. I need to talk to you.
Shit, man, I've having a party.
I see that.
- Do you want a drink?
- No.
Just wanna talk, two minutes.
All right, baby bro.
Let's you and me go talk.
I don't know what to tell you, Ian.
He said he'd only go with you.
Cracked his fucking tooth right in half.
These shit bags got a
better dental plan than I do.
Eating rocks. You believe that?
Fucking loony tunes.
Oh, well, yeah. I mean, if he's gotta go
to the dentist, he's
gotta go to the dentist.
I'll swing by right now, pick him up.
Yeah, I'll have him back by 6:00.
- I'll see you in a bit.
- Yeah.
I mean, you don't think it's strange
that Mike wasn't there
to pick you up today?
Yeah, that's fucking strange.
And that he's not answering
his phone all fucking day?
Hey, man, I feel you. I really do.
'Cause, I mean, you're out, buddy.
The Mexican dude, he's dead.
AB and Bloods are still
under lock and fucking key.
I mean, do you think that
one of those motherfuckers
put a target on him?
Yeah. It's possible. But I
ain't heard shit about it.
Well, can you fucking check?
- Yeah, I can fucking check.
- Good, when?
Slow your roll, baby boy, all right?
You sure you ain't
coked up or some shit?
- What's wrong with you?
- I'm just trying to figure out
if my fucking brother is
dead or if some motherfucker
out there is trying to kill him!
It's scary out in this jungle, ain't it?
What?
Not knowing.
Not knowing if a motherfucker you love
is gonna make it home or not.
Or not knowing if some dumb motherfucker
with a bad attitude and a .22
is gonna end that story right there.
I'm gonna make some calls.
Hit my boy up on the inside,
see if he's hearing shit.
He was nice.
Yeah, seemed like a good
guy. He didn't hurt you?
No. I'm okay, Ian.
That's good. That's good.
Charlie.
Is this your house?
No, I just gotta, I just
gotta stop here for a second.
Wanna come in?
Really?
Yeah. You think you can be quiet?
Okay. Thank you, Ian.
All right. Okay.
This one. There we go.
I need you to put these booties on here.
- Okay.
- These gloves, that's it.
Throw that on.
Like my mom's.
It's like we're trick-or-treating.
It's like we're trick-or-treating.
- Ian.
- Hey, Ben.
Listen, I just need two seconds,
if I could, real quick, just
Oh, uh, Charlie, come in.
Just shut the door behind you.
- Okay.
- All right?
This is Charlie. Charlie, say hi to Ben.
Hello, Ben.
Ian, what's going on? What the fuck?
I just have a dentist
appointment down the way.
I needed to drop by real quick.
I gotta get him back by 6:00.
Just need to talk to
you for two seconds.
- Come on, Charlie.
- All right.
It'll take two seconds.
Okay.
Where's Linda and the kids?
Costco.
But they're gonna be right back, man.
I just wanna, you know, talk to you
off the record a little bit,
maybe backchannel some of this stuff,
just two guys talking.
No lawyers.
No bullshit. Just real simple.
Read that.
Just take a look at it, Ben.
Jesus.
That him?
Hey, Charlie.
Seventeen counts of homicide.
Home invasion.
Forcible confinement.
Dismemberment, desecration.
It's a whole bunch of rape stuff here,
but I don't wanna say
that word in front of him.
He knows what it means.
This is fucked up, man.
A little bit.
Look, Robert is a good man.
And he saved my fucking life.
How the fuck did you even get him out?
Question is, when's he going back?
Now he knows where you live.
Look, man.
I I've already talked to
the DA. I mean, I don't
Call the DA's office, all
right, and you say you panicked.
You say it was PTSD bullshit.
Ian, Robert is a fucking psychopath.
He was shooting anything
that fucking moved in there.
I was there.
Jesus Christ.
Robert did what needed to be done.
All you gotta do is
make this fucking call
and you'll be in
Florida tomorrow morning,
you, your family, fresh start.
Just make the call.
I gotta get him back.
Jeff. Ben Morrisey.
Um, so I've just been
thinking a lot,
and, uh, I know you need me to come in,
and, uh
I can't do it.
I can't, uh, I can't testify.
Hey, Mike.
You, uh, you looking for somebody?
No.
Just, you know, whiskey.
- All right.
- On the rocks.
Gotta stay hyrdrated today.
All right, man. Well,
it's good to have you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Fuck.
Here.
Thanks, man.
Hey, Mike. Mike, Mike,
you can't take the glass.
- Hey. Hey.
- Just keep moving.
Hey! You know, the next fucking innocent
that Robert kills is
on your fucking head!
Hope you can sleep with that.
You're as bad as your fucking
rapist killer psycho guard dog
- or whatever the fuck
- Let's go, Charlie, let's go.
Jesus Christ!
Can't talk like that.
Charlie, listen to me.
Get him in the house now.
Charlie. Right now!
Come on, that's it, that's
it. That's it, you got him.
Fucking give me his wallet.
Charlie, just stay
where you are, all right?
Don't move.
Jesus Christ, Charlie.
Come on. Come on, Charlie.
Out you go, out you go.
Okay, Charlie, just kick
that. Kick that in for me.
It's locked.
Charlie, please kick it in.
- You have the keys.
- I've got the keys.
Kick the fucking door open now.
Let's go. Good. All right. Come on.
- Take the hat off.
- Okay.
Hey, I can fucking take myself in.
I was told to take you. I'll take you.
I've never seen anyone
earn more doing less.
This work is beneath you, Iris.
It's a waste of your talent.
I don't see any talent.
It works on you.
What the fuck are you laughing at?
The truth.
I'd like a moment
alone with her, please.
You confound him.
He beats you, but you're not scared.
You have no respect for his power.
I don't fear him 'cause he
ain't the one that beats me.
You are.
He just acts it out.
Joseph has no power.
I wish you hadn't disappointed me.
You deserve worthier challenges.
You were happy in New York, weren't you?
It was a lie.
Of course it was.
That lie was as perfect as love can be.
A perfect illusion to
the one who receives it.
And even more so to the one who gives it
because the giver receives
adoration and power, both.
The lie never betrays you.
Never leaves you, never gets old,
never gets cancer.
It is perfect every
time you manufacture it.
And what you have now is
a business transaction,
an exchange of favors.
What a waste.
I'm sorry, ma'am,
you're not on the list.
Oh, maybe look under Reed, Jacob Reed.
He's not in the system.
Well, he's gotta be in the system
Can I help you, ma'am?
Ma'am, step away from the window.
- Can I help you, ma'am?
- I have an appointment
at 5:30 with Jacob Reed.
I just confirmed it this morning,
so I don't understand the confusion.
I'm sorry for the confusion, miss,
but the person you're here to see
is no longer in this section.
No, he wasn't gonna be
transferred till tomorrow
and that was the whole
point of the meeting tonight.
Ma'am. I understand.
What you can do is try
to make an appointment
next week at the main house.
It should take about a
day or two for processing
before he's authorized to have visitors.
I am sorry, ma'am. Good day.
Open up one.
How's it going over there?
Shitty.
How's Terry?
Dead.
Anybody sitting in this stool?
I just told you that Terry's dead,
so who else is gonna
take it? But, sure, Mike,
take a seat.
It's a free damn country for now.
I'm sorry.
For what?
Terry.
Don't be sorry for him.
Be sorry for me.
Fucking riots.
Yeah, fucking riots.
You jump in the cage,
you get what you get,
I guess, right?
It's like sometimes you eat the bear,
and sometimes the bear eats you.
You still playing both sides?
I'm not playing either side.
I just, uh, try to keep all the sides
at bay, quiet.
How's that working out for you?
I think I'm pretty
fucking terrible at it.
To be honest with you.
It hurts my head when
I drink it too fast.
Me too.
Are you mad at me?
No. I'm not mad.
You shouldn't be mean to people.
You shouldn't talk to people like that.
No, buddy, you shouldn't
talk to people like that.
Thank you for my ice drink, Ian.
It's not hurting my head.
And thank you for the French air.
Come on, buddy. Let me take you back.
Come on. Let's get you back.
Okay.
Fuck them all. Fuck
them all. Fuck them all!
Get up, buddy. Come on.
We can't play with you
down there in all this shit.
I don't like waiting too long.
I'm right there with you, Big Shooter.
Let's sit you right here.
Calls up outta nowhere
and says, "We're good."
What the fuck does that mean?
It means the investigation's
over, I think.
I mean, no fucking Morrisey talking,
there's no fucking case.
Maybe Mike got through
to him, I don't know.
Yeah, maybe, I don't know.
I tried him, but no fucking answer.
Hey. Where the fuck is Ian?
He's coming. He had to do
some inmate escort shit.
Oh, shit. The door opens.
Stevie, you know the rule.
If you don't play a sport, be one.
Go get me a fucking beer, would you?
It's like a fucking weight being lifted.
Was about to call fucking Morrisey
just to fucking thank the guy.
Don't fucking do that. Mike said not to
and it worked out, so just leave it.
Yeah. I didn't fucking call him.
Well, I'm happy for you.
- Thank you, bruh.
- Yeah.
- Oh, shit, I gotta take this.
- Is it Mike?
Hey, don't touch the table, all right?
I know where all the balls are laying.
I've got it right in my head.
Can you hear me?
- I called around.
- Yeah.
Ain't nothing out there
on the mayor.
- Nothing?
- All quiet.
No, that's good. Yeah, fuck.
Um, I appreciate that.
Sure, man.
- Hey. Bunny.
- Yeah.
You know, if he calls
you, you let me know, okay?
I got you, baby bro.
All right, thanks.
Watch my man.
The fuck am I looking at here?
You'd be surprised at how
many times that shit works.
I'd be surprised if
that shit worked once.
That was Bunny.
His guy on the inside said there
was no target on Mike, so
Then where the fuck is he?
I don't fucking know.
We should go to a hospital.
More people die from cars than guns.
Shit, more people die
from entering the hospital
than the diseases that
they entered there for.
What the fuck, Stevie?
What's up?
There he fucking is.
About fucking time.
- Fucking paperwork.
- Jesus Christ.
Hey, what were you doing?
I had to take a fucking
serial killer to the dentist.
- Is that a euphemism?
- No.
Hey, Robert's cleared.
Fuckin' A. Fuckin' A.
- Line them up, Lew. Shots, beers. Go.
- Fuckin' A.
Fuck, just leave the bottle.
Come on, Lew.
To the fucking good guys!
- The good guys.
- Fucking good guys.
Thanks, Mike.
I didn't know I needed that
as much as I needed that.
Yeah, well, glad to help.
Fuck you.
Yeah. I just did.
Do you want some?
No.
I'm tapping out here.
Terry was such a big guy, you know?
Made me feel small,
delicate, like I was this little thing
that needed to be taken care of.
And he was the only one
who could take care of me.
And them coloreds just Fuck.
Fuck, Mike.
I heard it was like a
I heard it was a nightmare in there.
Uh, yeah.
It was.
I wasn't in the building,
but I was outside and
It was.
Did you see Terry?
No. No, I didn't.
I don't know if I can make
it out here without him.
I'm just so fucking angry.
At all of them, every
single person in there.
And at Terry.
It's like you have
someone waiting for you,
waiting here,
so why the fuck you gotta go down there,
be a hero or whatever
for a bunch of fucking lowlifes?
He was just doing his
job, you know, so
Nothing more. Nothing less.
Yeah. Yeah, he's still here.
Yeah.
Oh, shit, he's up. I gotta go.
Okay.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You want some coffee?
No, no, I gotta get going.
Oh, yeah, sure.
But a cup of coffee
couldn't hurt, though.
No, I got, I gotta get
back to doing what I do.
- Whatever that is.
- Right.
A person is what they do.
Yeah.
All right.
Thanks for coming by.
Thanks for having me, Allison.
- Hey, Mike?
- Yeah.
You take care of yourself.
Yeah. You too.
Anything?
No.
What if something
really fucking happened?
I
He here?
No.
Where's the mayor?
Bunny told me to find
him and bring him to him.
Don't know.
Don't know?
Is there an echo in here?
Fuck you. I need to know where he's at.
Hey, if they we said
we don't know here is,
we don't know where he is.
Don't shush me.
Back up.
It's your mom.
- Yeah, Ma.
- Michael?
- No, it's Kyle.
- Kyle.
I'm at the office.
Why do you have Michael's phone?
It was in his desk.
Oh, God. Where is he?
I don't know.
Is he all right?
You know as much as I do, Ma.
Jesus.
It's me from yesterday.
I know.
I need that gun now.
I need my keys too, all right?
Um, yeah. The keys I can't.
What do you mean you can't?
You told me you'd come
asking. I wasn't supposed
to give them to you.
Oh, no, fuck. That was yesterday.
I was drink I'm stone sober now.
You said.
Yeah, I know what I said, okay?
Just Fuck, fuck!
Sorry, you're right.
Just lock your doors, would you?
- What?
- Lock your doors.
Lock this door behind me as well.
Hello, Mike.
I heard you have been looking for me.
