Paramount+’s Mayor of Kingstown season four episode nine ended with Mike, Kyle, Stevie, and Ian pinned down in Don’s Diner. Episode 10, the season finale, picks up with the foursome and Sarah (the waitress) still hiding inside as bullets pepper the diner.
(The following is a recap of season four episode 10, “Belly of the Beast,” and there are spoilers.)
Sarah (Jessica Steen) slides Kyle (Taylor Handley) her gun and he and Mike (Jeremy Renner) shoot back. Their assailants are wearing body armor and firing automatic weapons, and Ian (Hugh Dillon) only has his and Stevie’s handguns as he emerges from a side exit. He flanks the attackers and fires with both weapons. Ian draws their attention before hiding behind a truck. While they’re focusing on Ian, Mike steps outside and shoots the two men out front. Unfortunately, another attacker enters the diner and makes his way toward Stevie and Kyle.
Stevie (Derek Webster) pretends to be dead as he walks by and then makes his move. He’s wrestling over the man’s gun when Kyle fires a few shots. Mike runs back in as Kyle’s beating the man senseless. Mike reminds Kyle they need one guy alive.
More cops arrive and after escorting Stevie to the ambulance, Ian tells Captain Walter (Rob Kirkland) that this is just some payback from prison orchestrated by Callahan. Mike and Ian deny there were three gunmen, even though witnesses described there being three. Captain Walter agrees to go with two.
Callahan listens to the police radio chatter describing two dead men in full tactical gear. He knows the third guy’s in for a world of pain. And, of course, he’s right.
Meanwhile, Bunny (Tobi Bamtefa) calls Kevin (Denny Love) and tells him today will be his last day as a prison guard. Bunny’s going to set him up with something better, and Kevin’s relieved it’s over.
Mike beats Billy as they demand that he tell them how to contact Callahan. Billy insists he lives by a code, so Mike continues with his torture. Billy refuses to say anything helpful.
Keno (Derek Basco) informs Ian that Stevie’s okay and that the bullet missed the artery. Ian reminds him to make sure he’s told first if Callahan’s located.
Mike continues cutting away at Billy, but Billy won’t break. When Billy mentions that Callahan’s been busy taking care of something else, Kyle understands he’s talking about Callahan personally killing Tracy. Billy keeps talking and seems to let slip that Callahan is still in Kingstown.
Kyle takes over beating Billy, losing control as he asks about Callahan’s location. Billy still doesn’t give up anything useful, so Mike finishes him off with a bullet to the head. Mike calls Bunny to clean up the dead body and has Ian take Kyle away.
Mike’s next stop is to check in with Bunny, and Bunny confirms he’s going scorched earth on the Colombian cartel both inside and outside of prison. He’ll take care of it all so that Mike can concentrate on Callahan and the Aryan Brotherhood.
Warden Nina Hobbs (Edie Falco) tells Cortez (Derek Rivera) that she’s lifting the lockdown, and Cortez reveals Torres didn’t cry when he died. After he leaves, Mike calls and says it’s time to lift the lockdown. Hobbs confirms that’s her plan but wonders why Mike wants it. He explains that he wants blood to be shed to cure the situation in prison.
Ian and Kyle sit outside the McLusky house, which was burned in the fire started by Callahan’s firebug minion. Kyle insists that he will personally take out Callahan, and Ian is fine with this plan.
Cindy (Laura Benanti) is waiting outside Mike’s office when he pulls up. They hug and she asks about the attack on the diner. Cindy admits she’s having a tough time after killing Breen, even though she saved Kyle’s life. Watching Breen mow down the prisoners has affected her, and she wants Mike to just walk away. He refuses, unwilling to desert Kyle.
Ian calls Mike to confirm Kyle’s at their house and that he’s staying in town. Mike wants to just finish this and swears to Cindy it’s going to be okay.
Kyle walks around his childhood home, which is now covered in ashes and soot. He pulls out a metal case filled with his dad’s personal items, including his gun. Kyle briefly smiles as he touches his dad’s badge before walking away with his gun.
Mike heads to Shaver’s house and hears a police radio inside. He walks through the house, gun drawn, searching for Callahan. The bathroom towel is damp, and there’s a bloody bandage on the floor. Mike calls Ian and informs him Callahan was just there. He’s certain Callahan’s not running.
Helicopters circle above Kingstown as Ian notes the town’s in lockdown.
Kevin delivers a phone to Raph (D Smoke) who immediately calls Bunny. Bunny orders him to take care of business inside today after Hobbs releases the Crips from lockdown. While Raph’s attacking the Colombians inside, Bunny will launch his attack outside.
Hobbs is shocked that Cindy came back to work, given what she just went through. Hobbs suggests she focus on the fact she saved a good man, but moving forward won’t be easy. Cindy will be assigned to the infirmary today, which should be the least stressful duty.
Raph’s men prepare for war as the lockdown lifts. They head straight to the Colombians’ cells. Outside, Bunny orders his guys to come in hot on the cartel warehouse. Automatic fire rings out, grenades are launched, and it’s a full-on battle. Bunny and two of his men drive around back in case Colombians try escaping out the backdoors. Cortez and two Colombians emerge, and Cortez’s men are immediately killed. Cortez drops his weapons and gets on his knees, silently surrendering without putting up a fight. He’s knocked out.
Raph’s at the front of the line as the Crips and Colombians begin fighting on the walkway in front of a row of cells. It’s a brutal fight and Raph is repeatedly stabbed as he leads the Crips. He’s forced to work his way behind his men, barely on his feet. Even stabbed multiple times, he manages to throw a Colombian over the railing to his death.
The guards finally rush toward the melee.
Callahan walks into the police station, hands up and claiming to be unarmed. He wants to turn himself in. Ian, who seems to have just won something on a lottery scratcher, advances toward Callahan, gun drawn and ordering him to get down. He sends the other cops out, warning Callahan he won’t find sanctuary at this station.
Unfortunately for Ian, Captain Walter orders him to place Callahan in the box. Ian quickly calls Mike with the news that he was thwarted from walking Callahan out the back door. Captain Walter hasn’t charged him yet but he’s in interrogation. Mike wants Ian to keep him out of the system and get him to the railyard.
Infirmary duty is keeping Cindy hopping after the Crips vs Colombians fight. Raph’s still alive and being treated. Kevin walks through the infirmary and is stabbed in the neck by a Colombian. Cindy rushes to his side as Kevin dies in a pool of blood on the floor. (It’s obvious Mike told Hobbs who to sacrifice to the cartel to get them off her back about the hijacked shipment.)
Kyle, still at his family’s house, loads his dad’s gun.
Bunny is questioning Cortez when Mike calls and warns him to keep the guy alive. They need to know who he reports to. Bunny steps out of the room while his men beat Cortez as he talks to Mike.
Captain Walter believes Callahan is a purely evil man. He knows Callahan will plead guilty here and in Ohio, and he’ll be sent right back to prison. That’s not a punishment. Walter allows Ian to remove him from the station as if he was never there.
Cortez works himself free of his handcuffs and kills Bunny’s guys before escaping out the back. Bloody handprints show where he jumped out of the building.
Ian brings Callahan, still in handcuffs, to Mike and Callahan starts running his mouth. Mike hits him in the face, and Callahan jokes that, after a few hits, he’ll be out of it and won’t feel a thing. Callahan claims he’s not afraid to die.
Callahan tells Mike to get it over with as Mike points a gun at his head, just a foot or so away. He thinks Mike’s going to kill him, but that’s not the plan. Kyle drives up and Callahan’s shocked. Kyle starts with a punch to the stomach that doubles Callahan over. His next hit is a brutal punch to Callahan’s head, which takes him to his knees. Callahan taunts Kyle about Tracy’s murder and laughs. Kyle has Ian stand Callahan up and Callahan smiles.
Kyle shoots him in the groin and Callahan screams in pain. He can’t stop panting and screaming, and Kyle walks up and places his dad’s gun to Callahan’s forehead. Callahan finally looks scared as Kyle shoots him. Kyle adds more bullets to the body, firing until Mike convinces him it’s over and to walk away.
Mike hands Ian Kyle’s gun.
The final scene of season four is of Kyle breaking down crying in his brother’s arms.
