The coroner and other first responders are working on what remains of the train that was set on fire by the Colombian cartel as Paramount+’s Mayor of Kingstown season four, episode six opens. Mike (Jeremy Renner) informs Bunny (Tobi Bamtefa) they found the spot the cartel used to watch Bunny’s men load the train. Mike and Frank Moses (Lennie James) realize the Colombians aren’t worried about being discovered.
(The following is a detailed recap of season four, episode six and contains spoilers.)
Lamar’s driving Bunny on the way to meeting Mike and Frank when someone follows them. They drive over a spike strip and straight into an ambush. Bunny’s car is shot up. They’re outnumbered and outgunned, and Bunny’s hit.
Back at the train, Stevie (Derek Webster) has learned the train was halted a mile away and that’s where the engineer and conductor were shot. The dead man’s switch was tampered with, allowing it to keep rolling.
Mike and Frank believe the Colombians did it to show power. They didn’t remove anything and instead let it all burn. Frank thinks he’ll be able to take care of the cartel before KPD can find them. Ian (Hugh Dillon) calls with the news that Bunny was shot multiple times and is on route to the hospital.
Mike and Frank head to the hospital, while over at the prison, Kyle (Taylor Handley) is keeping his eyes open and head on a swivel in general population. Kyle and the rest of the prisoners march out of the large holding area single file, and the guy behind Kyle suddenly recognizes him as a cop. Kyle delivers a sharp elbow to his nose to get him to back off.
Kyle moves with the rest of the prisoners through the chow line, and the prisoner who hands him his food tells him he’s not alone.
Warden Hobbs’ right-hand man, Deputy Warden Torres (Clayton Cardenas), confronts guard Kevin Jackson – Bunny’s inside man – throwing him against the lockers and searching for his phone. Jackson (Denny Love) was ordered to leave it behind as he starts his shift, but Torres finds it in his jacket. Torres smashes it and walks off, warning Jackson to remember who he works for.
Mike and Frank discuss Bunny, with Mike confirming KPD will watch the hospital entrances and exits. Frank’s men will take care of the streets. Frank’s going to start looking for a target.
Mike asks Ian about the “sicario kid,” since he’s their best shot at finding out who the shot caller is. Ian thinks he’s at the diner and Mike tells Ian to meet him there.
Stevie enters the diner’s back door while Mike and Ian enter from the front. Mike takes a seat opposite Cortez (Derek Rivera), suggesting he’s just cannon fodder and wondering why he keeps being put in the line of fire. Cortez calls him Mr. Mayor, so Mike knows this guy understands who’s who in town. Mike holds his gun under the table and demands the name of the person who put the hit on Bunny. Cortez refuses and Mike says he’ll allow him to live if he gives up the name. Cortez responds, “Bunny Washington’s a pawn. We’re beyond the locals. We’re after knights and rooks, mayors and kings.”
Mike asks him to pass a message to his bosses that the local pawns will kill them.
DA Evelyn Foley (Necar Zadegan) learns her witness is a no-show. She’s forced to release the grand jury.
Bunny’s hooked up to machines and his sister, Whitney (Khalilah Joi), holds his hand and tells him he’s strong. She won’t pray for him because she knows he’s got this.
Cindy Stephens (Laura Benanti) starts her shift in Ad Seg and is shocked that Kyle’s cell is empty. She calls for backup and Breen (Matthew Del Negro) shows up. Cindy asks him to watch the Ad Seg while she tries to figure out Kyle’s location. No one updated the count board, and it still shows he’s there.
Cindy finds Torres and informs him that she’s missing prisoner #081693, a police officer. Torres doesn’t seem concerned but promises to track him down. Cindy steps into the restroom and calls Mike, alerting him that Kyle’s not in Ad Seg. Mike tells her to stay away from Torres because he’s in bed with Hobbs. Cindy can’t believe the whole place is so corrupt.
Kyle walks through the yard, keeping his eyes on everyone. He tells a guard he’s supposed to be in Ad Seg and fears for his life. The guard doesn’t care. It feels to Kyle like all eyes are on him as he calls Mike on one of the phones in the yard. Mike promises to figure it out and warns Kyle to stay away from the whites. He should try and find Raph. As they’re talking, guards come to retrieve Kyle, telling him he’s going back to his cell. Mike screams at him not to go with them, but Kyle hangs up.
Kyle’s placed in handcuffs and escorted out of the yard. Raph and his men have just entered the yard, and Raph realizes Kyle’s being taken to the slaughter, not his cell.
Mike arrives at the prison as Kyle fights back while being forced into a room. Mike tries to barge past the guard at the entrance but can’t. Torres arrives with additional guards who hold Mike back. Mike demands that he call Hobbs just as Hobbs calls Torres.
Kyle’s dumped in a room where the Colombians are waiting and beaten and nearly raped. Suddenly, the Aryans appear and attack the Colombians, pulling Kyle out of the room. One of the men tells Kyle that Callahan has his back.
Mike’s locked in a holding cell when Hobbs shows up, and the warden admits she’s working with the Colombians. Since Mike’s so powerful in town, she’ll make a deal. She’ll watch over Kyle if he has Frank Moses arrested. Mike agrees but demands that Kyle be placed back in Ad Seg and Merle moved to gen pop. Hobbs thinks it’s a mutually beneficial deal but remands Mike the clock is ticking.
Kyle declines a visit with Mike. He looks ready to give up on life.
Evelyn’s told her witness has fled the area and his car is in Indiana, or at least it was 12 hours ago. Evelyn realizes he’s probably changed plates. (She has no clue that he’s dead.)
Mike visits Frank and tells him the KPD is set to arrest him that night. Mike says it’s because of the deaths on the train and advises Frank not to leave. If he flees, then KPD will look harder for a reason to chase him down. Frank’s never been arrested before and Mike says if he complies, he’ll make sure he’s walked through the front door. Frank will do it, but says he’ll bring his lawyer.
After he leaves Frank, Mike calls Ian and tells him to hold Frank as long as he can. It needs to look like Ian will do what Mike says. Mike’s next stop is at Bunny’s driver Lamar’s house. Lamar won’t talk to the cops but doesn’t mind speaking with Mike. He believes there were four or five men shooting at them from the woods. They left when he shot back. He’s not sure if he hit anyone.
Mike realizes Lamar’s hiding something and lies and says Bunny’s awake, suggesting Bunny will fill in details Lamar missed. Mike immediately informs Ian and Stevie that Frank Moses flipped Lamar. He realizes Frank’s been wanting Bunny removed from the start, something he didn’t catch sooner because he was focused on the cartel. Mike thinks Frank’s guys will try taking out Bunny at the hospital, so Ian’s going to call in reinforcements.
Mike still wants Frank brought in but believes they should still release him fairly quickly. They’re not prepared to really make a move on Frank yet.
Later that night, Merle asks Kyle how he’s doing. Merle advises him that they protect their own and that it’s not bad having him as a neighbor. Kyle doesn’t respond.
Frank’s picked up and taken to the station, with Ian and Stevie in charge of getting him there safely. Frank’s lawyer accompanies them. Just as they’re walking into the station, a man pulls a gun from his sock and begins shooting. Ian’s quick enough to warn Frank about the gun and moves Frank into a safe area. Ian then kills the shooter, who managed to shoot Officer Keno before being taken down.
Mike takes a seat in Bunny’s hospital room, pulling watchdog duty over his friend.
