I rather hope that 4-60 will at least reveal how much Malcolm knew about Lawson's darkness. Was there a reason why he seemed to believe Lawson's threat to Concordia was obvious?

Looking at the part of his speech on the top of the page...Well, I've made it to 4-57, and I can definitely say that the "prosperity" part of his promise has NOT come to pass. I'm starting to have thoughts that he plans to outright take revenge for Baines's death--by somehow arresting and punishing the entire city, which in his mind allowed, perhaps even encouraged, her murder. It might depend on how deep he sees the gangs' influence as having been, and/or how he views the situation of the Rochesters (whom he probably sees as having manipulated the gangs as a unit, rather than just Horatio) having once controlled early Concordia as a whole.

He'd obviously have to know about the latter, though, for that to be a factor.
