My Way

This here's a new kind of boldness.

We inbound, Mike.

911. What's your emergency?

- Bunny got shot. - Is he alive?

So fucking far.

They put me in Gen Pop.

I'm in the fucking yard, Mike.

Got to get you back to your nest.

- They're taking me back. - Kyle, don't go.

- I got to go. - Put yourself in the fucking--

No!

Callahan's got your back.

You have my attention.

I know you got your thumb on the scale for Bogotá.

I know the cartel has its sights on Moses.

- I want Frank Moses arrested. - I can do it.

If you get Kyle back in Ad Seg

and Callahan goes in Gen Pop.

- We're gonna take down Moses. - What about tonight?

Catch and release. I've got to bide my time.

Gun! Fuck!

Protect our own, Kyle.

By any means fucking necessary.

When's the last time someone did that for you?

Heading back to population, brother.

I wish we had more time.

Inmate secure.

Pop the cell.

No goodbyes?

No fond farewells?

Well, least you could do is offer a fucking,

"Thank you, Merle, for saving my life."

Yeah. I'm seeing

the similarities now, you and Mike--

ungrateful, graceless cunts,

the lot.

Oh, there you are.

What have you learned?

Your brother can't protect you.

That's lesson one.

But I can. I did.

Lesson number two.

Lesson three.

I offer my hand once and only once.

Reject it? You reject me.

Reject me? Reject the Brotherhood.

Do that...

and you're all shades of fucked.

Mike took my hand, did things in my service,

survived because of those things.

You?

Mike didn't steer you away from me to keep you safe.

He did it 'cause he's fucking selfish.

Regrets his past and didn't want you to repeat it,

but who the fuck is that for?

Who's it benefit, you or him?

Fuck you, Merle.

I'm gonna do my time.

Pray I see you on the fucking outside.

Yeah.

I don't see you breathing free air again.

Shit's not trending the McLuskys' way.

You locked up,

your brother dead, brains on the fucking wall.

And your poor, innocent mom.

What would sweet Saint Mariam make of you now?

Under control. Just let it ride.

You can't choose family, Kyle.

You can only choose your friends.

Take my hand, you survive.

Don't?

Well, shit.

You might as well knot up your sheet and end it now,

'cause you're not gonna make it.

Then end it.

Now.

Do yourself that favor.

Because I am gonna get out of here.

I can walk through walls.

And you don't want to live to mourn another brother.

You know, Merle...

...you talk a lot--

fucking talk, talk, talk,

talk, talk--

but don't say shit.

Mike played you.

You got baited out of retirement

and blown the fuck up.

You're half a ghost already.

I'm not taking your hand...

...'cause you don't matter.

You don't factor in fucking life,

inside or out.

My brother Mitch, he's remembered.

My mother-- always remembered.

And me and Mike, we'll be remembered.

But you?

You're a fuckin' footnote.

And you're gonna die long before me or Mike.

That...

That's the most I've ever heard you say.

I'll tell Mike "hello" when I see him.

Hey.

Hey.

You okay?

Yeah. I mean, fuck, I've had

some fucking close calls in my life, but this was--

Hold down the fort.

Fucking bullshit.

Mikey. Fucking suicide mission.

That fucking Colombian fucker wanted Moses dead,

escape plan optional.

Where's Moses now?

I fucking stashed him. He's in-- Planted in interrogation.

Keep him there as long as you can.

I mean, I can keep him there for fucking personal safety,

but it's not gonna last long. This fucker doesn't like cages.

Well, name someone who does.

Look, don't cut him loose till I say so.

Tell him it's my call.

Yeah.

What's that look for?

It's my fucking face.

Give me a few hours.

You know, Hobbs, I really

don't like getting burned. Okay?

And you burned me and you burned my leverage with Moses.

Do you have any idea what that cost me?

Don't come crying about the cost, Mike.

Okay? Not when you've got what matters--

Kyle is alive.

Yeah, he's alive, but I made promises

that I cannot keep.

It's greater good, Mike.

I did what was necessary.

You did what was easy.

What was expedient.

You proved yourself to me.

I proved myself to my people. And, Mike, I have to

- prove myself to my people. - Mm-hmm.

Kyle is safe and sound.

Far as Moses goes, you can control that narrative.

You are nothing if not persuasive.

Next time you're playing chess, Nina,

just let me know that we're fucking playing.

Might save us some blood.

Look at him.

Attaboy, Reed!

Don't encourage him.

What? He's fearless. Look at him.

Reed! Too high, bubba.

No, come on, Patty, he's fine.

Yeah, everybody's fearless till they fall.

What are you doing? Already?

You didn't say how the arbitration went.

Yeah, it's, uh, you know, it's pending.

Listen, it's just a matter of time.

We're outnumbered, outgunned.

Can't keep me on the bench forever.

How are you holding up?

Yeah, I'm good.

I'm good. I'm in a good place.

You sure?

'Cause the Scope's not covering.

Yeah, well, I mean, listen, all that's

gonna get better when you and Reed come home.

Dad, did you see me?

- You saw? - Ah! You know I did, brother.

That was awesome. Come here, man.

My fearless boy.

Man, you're good at that.

Here, come here, give me another one.

Go on.

Hey, good morning.

Fuck off, Mike.

- Hey, fuck you, too. - No, I can't even talk to you.

- What'd I do now? - You've got some fucking balls

showing up here. You come in to fucking gloat?

What-- I don't even know

what the fuck you're talking about, Evelyn.

Mike, I got a missing fucking witness.

You don't have to guess too hard to know

- how that went down. - I see.

Right. Okay.

So, what's that got to do with me?

Is he dead?

There are things I do not do, okay?

There are lines I do not cross. You know this.

- So, one of your minions? - Or...

- I wouldn't put it past Ian. - Or, more likely,

your witness bolted, got spooked.

Don't act like it doesn't happen every other fucking day.

Huh?

If you lost your witness,

if he's in the wind, right, what the fuck you got,

besides no witness?

No Ian, no Robert. Huh?

I'm spinning off the fucking planet here, Mike,

and it's just wrong, it's just wrong.

Well, I'm not saying it's not.
