So, Kansas City. When is payback time?
The guy went home in a
black fucking trash bag.
I think I sent a pretty brutal message.
[THRESHER] Mr. Manfredi.
I'm gonna break in your jaw
if you don't stop interfering
in my fucking business.
Think you can come here,
get whatever you want,
- but you can't.
- [SHOTGUN RACKS]
Whatever's happening here,
take it someplace else.
Saved by the bell.
[DWIGHT] Sorry I'm late.
No talk of you-know-who.
Forget him.
I'm interested in your journey
'cause you're a mystery.
[BODHI] Can I help you gentlemen?
[GRUNTS]
Dwight, these guys showed up,
they're trashing the equipment!

[GRUNTING]
- Who sent you?
- Thresher.
Took you long enough.
I had a few things to do.
Don't let Chickie
catch you sitting there,
- that's his spot.
- It's Pete's. He killed him.
Maybe there's some coin that
could still be made out west.
Let me arrange a sit-down. Us,
Bevilaqua, Dwight.
[GOODIE] When did you become peacemaker?
People change when situations change.

- [DWIGHT] Hey, Tina.
- [TINA] Yep?
I'm not gonna be gone that long.
I'll be home before dinner.
Now, what exactly is
going on in Atlanta?
We're gonna try to work
out some misunderstandings.
So it's a sit-down.
How do you
"Sit-down?"
Where did you hear that term?
Oh, well, it's not like she
didn't grow up in this family.
It's not like she heard
it around the house.
On another note,
I've been thinking about it,
and, uh, I'd like to get a gun.
Why?
Well, there's this liquor
store down by the strip mall,
and, uh, Aunt Joanne
and I want to rob it.
Comedian now, right?
For protection, Dad.
But we have security.
Well, most of the
time. Not every second.
Yeah, God forbid, I'm
home alone with the boys,
something happens.
Hmm.
This okay with you?
- Her having a gun?
- Yeah.
Well, you know, a frying pan's
not gonna cut it, Dwight.
I don't think she's that responsible.
- I don't know.
- [TINA] Excuse me.
First of all, I'm-I'm at
the table with you, right?
- Mmm.
- [TINA] And I'm a very responsible adult.
Do you really want to play this game,
of who's more responsible?
Have you ever shot a gun?
22 rifle in the Poconos.
That's not a gun.
That's a popgun.
That's like a cork.
That's like a paper
clip and a rubber band.
That's like a BB gun or something.
This goes against my instincts,
but I'll-I'll find you somebody's, okay?
Thank you, Daddy.
[DWIGHT] You're welcome.

Elderberry Enhanced Gummies.
They're like a glass of wine

Morning.
Where's Fred?
I-I guess he's running late.
Lock the doors until he gets here.
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
Fuck happened to you?
Oh, these?
Just a few of the many benefits of
being partners with Dwight Manfredi.
Dwight did that to you?
No.
Some Asian goons showed
up to the wind farm.
They attacked us.
Why? Because of that Kansas City thing?
I don't think so.
Seems like it had something
to do with that guy
who hosted the fundraiser
that we all went to.

He got a couple plumbing jobs today.
I know you're in Atlanta.
I just wanted to see if it's cool
we can use the Navigator
to help him out, give him a hand?
Yeah, only on one condition, though.
If you guys decide to
pump out some septic tanks,
you'll pay to have the
Navigator fumigated.

Stay alert.
Keep your head on a swivel.

You wanted to see me.
[JACKIE] Eight guards,
seven of them completely
out of commission.
Yeah, they'll be fine
in a couple of days.
And meanwhile, what?
No guards.
Who watches over the trimmers?
We can bring in more guards, Jackie.
[SCOFFS] That's not the point.
The trimmers see the
guards beaten and bruised,
they sense weakness.
What kind of message does that send?
I think you're overreacting a bit.
Because you're costing us money!
Medical bills,
a work slow-down,
all because the trimmers
aren't supervised.
We're making a ton of
cash, business is great.
And this is our business.
Yeah.
Not whatever petty battles
you're fighting in your personal life.
I think perhaps you need to partake in
our product a little bit.
Relax, Jackie.

What you taking there? Vitamins?
Xanax.
For the anxiety.
What are you so worried about, bud?
Flying. I fucking hate it.
I mean, I see these
movies from the 1940s,
they way people used to travel by train.
They were dressed nice.
Looks like paradise.
Trains crash, too, you know.
Dutchman's Curve, Tennessee?
Two trains collided, top speed.
Shit, over a hundred people killed.
One man's head well,
what was left of the fucking thing

What's up?

- Talk to me.
- [DWIGHT] Tina wants to learn
how to shoot a gun, but the
only thing she's ever shot
is a .22 in the Poconos,
which really doesn't count.
Well, that's probably a good thing.
Less bad habits to correct.
Well, I need something small,
manageable to start off with.
Like a .44 Magnum?

Well, this ain't just food, boy,
this is TC's famous chili.
Even still, you bust your ass for a hour
working on his water
heater for no money?
He's an old friend, all right?
And he hired my young ass
when no one else would.
At least got a couple hundred bucks
for a job like that or something.
Son, not everything has a price.
[CAR CHIMES]
[CHICKIE] One thing I learned
From my old man: let the other
side do most of the talking.
Yeah, give 'em enough
rope to hang themself.
Exactly.
This fucking Dwight, though.
He's got a head like cement.
Hey, you keep hitting
cement long enough,
it'll start to crack.
Between us and Bevilaqua,
we get Dwight to cut a deal,
end the stalemate.
Nobody likes uncertainty.

Oh, my God. Will you marry me?

- Oh.
Twist my arm.
Mmm. What are we listening to?
Oh, King Pleasure.
King Pleasure?
- Someone you found on OnlyFans?
- No, Bodhi, this is real music.
Like they used to play on WBLS.
Terrestrial radio. From yesteryear.
Well, you know, some things are classic.
Like this focaccia.
Wait until you taste my struffoli.
Your what?
These fried dough balls
with sprinkles on them.
They're amazing.
Customers are devouring them.
What customers?
Mmm.
Oh, my God.
- Mm.
- Fuck, that's good.
Okay, you won us over
with your baked goods.
Do you have any experience
growing or cultivating?
Yeah, I do. Parsley, basil,
tomato, eggplant, gagootz.
Which would be great if we were
starting a farmers market, but
Maybe you should.
You're not joking.
Look, the
(CLEARS THROAT) profit margin
on even Belgian endive would
not keep the electricity on here.
But I do have some ideas
that I think will help, and
why don't we just, you know
go into your office,
talk about it.
Do I have a choice?
[GOODIE] So what do you want to do
about Thresher?
Let's focus on Bevilaqua
Here's the thing
since the dinosaurs, these
guys have been like a boil
on the ass of New York and Chicago.
Even at their height, they
were a Mickey Mouse outfit.
- So, he overcompensates.
- It's an act, Goodie, it's an act.
"Affection through achievement."
What's that?
Basic gratification.
[LAUGHS] Where's the gate?
It's gate 12.
Southwest flight 2561.
Boarding group 3. Really shitty seats.
You ask me, they're all shitty.
What's your problem?
Dwight, I have a serious flying phobia.
Eh, it's common.
Well, be that as it may,
I'm still afraid to fly.
Flying's fine. What he's afraid of
is suddenly not flying and
being picked up with tweezers.
Fucking ball-breaker.
[AMBLING BLUES PLAYING]
[JOANNE] You guys ever
hear of drop-shipping?
I think so.
Is that where you use an intermediary
to store your product and
then they ship it for you?
- Yeah, more or less.
- [BODHI] Okay, well,
I don't know, sounds like
a hassle. Lot of red tape.
No. Not if you know what you're doing.
You're leaving a fortune on the table.
We'd use the mails? I mean
THC is still federally illegal.
Yeah, but CBD isn't.
We would base your drop-shipping
business on CBD products.
That would leave us in the clear.
We just have to stay
within state limits.
You've got the inventory.
We don't even need a
middleman, just a website.
I guess that could work.
How long would it take to set up?
I don't know, two or
three days for the website.
Maybe in a week.
Wouldn't hurt to give it a try.
I mean, this is something
I could run from home.
Well, that won't work.
Why not?
Who's gonna bring us our struffoli?
[SHORT CHUCKLE]
[MITCH] Been coming here since
I was a kid. It's actually where my pops
taught me how to shoot.
That's cute.
- Yeah?
- [LAUGHS]
It's good you're
coming here, doing this.
Get you a little peace of mind.
That's what we're here for.
Shall we?
Well, the first rule
of guns is safety first.
Safety always.
Especially when you got kids.
I'll get you a lockbox and a
trigger guard just like this,
prevents the gun from firing.
All right. This I picked
out specifically for you.
It's the Glock 42
Subcompact 380 automatic.
It's lightweight.
It's got a six-round,
single stack magazine,
plus one in the chamber,
makes for seven shots.
- Okay.
- Loaded?
Yup.
Unloaded?
Yes?
Wrong.
This is critical. Look, just because
there's not a magazine in the gun
doesn't mean there's not a
bullet already in the chamber.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- Louder than I expected.
- You see?
Yeah. Some warning.
I can't tell you how many
people have been killed
just because some idiot
incorrectly assumed
that a gun was empty.
Always assume the gun is
loaded and never point it
at anything you're
not intending to shoot.
All right, understand.
- [EXHALES]
- Eyewear.
Thank you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down.
You're gonna wrap your
three lower fingers
and the thumb around the handle.
Keep your index finger pointed
straight along the barrel
- and off the trigger until you're ready to shoot.
- Got it.
Slowly raise up.
Slowly and evenly pull
back on the trig
- [GASPS]
- Jesus.
- Did I hit it?
- No.
- Oh. [LAUGHS]
- But if that was an intruder
you would've scared the shit out of him.
Hey, that's what I was going
for. It's a warning shot.
Little flesh wound.
- Let's go again.
- Okay.
- There you go.
- Ah!
You just knocked that son of a
bitch right in between his eyes.
That's what I'm talking
about right there.
Armand. Eva, thank you.
Can I get either of you anything?
No need.
[ARMAND CLEARS HIS THROAT]
Hey, Cal, thanks for seeing me.
Sure. Please, take a seat.
You must have something
good for me, I trust.
No, not really. I was just
actually, just hoping
maybe we could talk.
- Talk?
- Yeah, th-this thing at-at Dwight's wind farm,
up in Galena? Did you have
anything to do with that?
What thing? I'm-I'm not sure I
know what you're talking about.
That wasn't you?
Some kind of fight or something?
Bunch of Asian guys showed up.
I talked to Bodhi, he
works with Dwight, too,
he was pretty banged up.
I can't imagine I know what you mean.
Look, I'm not stupid, all right?
It's one thing for me to tell you stuff,
but when you use the
information for shit like that,
that's my ass on the line.
You do realize I've given
you almost $50,000 already.
I appreciate it. More
than appreciate it.
And after taxes, that's
more than you make in a year.
Do you think I did that out
of the goodness of my heart?
I mean, you said you
wanted to help me out.
What are you, a child?
Seriously, are you that fucking stupid?
Everything in life is transactional.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
Did you really not know that?
Look, I don't want to do this anymore.
Do this? Do-do do what?
Give you information. Tell you shit.
Dwight's too dangerous.
Huh. You think he's dangerous?
- Look
- No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.
You look.
I own you.
I have people out there
that will literally
skin you alive as soon as
they'd just look at you.
People for whom life
has less than no value.
If you ever tell me what
you will or won't do again,
I'll have your tongue
ripped out of your throat
and sent to your children.
Am I clear?
Am I?
Yeah.
Don't ever show up here again.
Fuck off.

He brought a gun to a sit-down?
No. No, no. He just forgot he had it.
It happens.
It happens if you're a moron.
See, on that we agree.
So, for the purposes of this meeting,
you can speak for Chickie?
Absolutely.
Okay, good. Let's get this going.
Would you like to hear our specials?
Oh, no, thank you.
Sure. What do you got?
I'm not here to eat. Know what I mean?
You're not curious
about the local cuisine?
You're interested, is that right?
Mm-hmm. What are the specialties?
Yeah, what are they?
Well, we have red beans and rice,
collard greens, southern oxtails,
hoppin' Johns, which is
black-eyed peas and rice,
- Mmm.
- candied yams,
pigs' feet and sweet potato pie.
Wow, how about that.
How about we get you
a plate of pigs' feet for the ride home?
House specialty, yeah?
Good memory.
I think we're good for now, sweetheart.
Okay.
- There you go.
- Thank you.
Let's get this started.
What's on your mind, General?
No, you go first.
It's like I said the last time we met:
Tulsa belongs to KC. You got
the history lesson, right?
- I did.
- [BEVILAQUA] Good. Yeah.
Point is you're doing
business on my turf,
and you don't want to even
entertain a reasonable offer. Nothing.
We been here, protecting, building,
fighting for what's
ours for fucking decades.
And then all of a sudden,
like a bad fucking magic trick,
you drop in out of the fucking sky.
You got no backing, you got no crew,
you got nothing.
And you actually trying to
take over my fucking territory?
No agreements?
And you don't want to give me anything?
I mean, let me ask you
guys a fucking question.
In what world
is that acceptable?
I want to know.
There's a flaw in your logic.
You assume that I automatically
agree that Tulsa's your turf.
Is there any part of Tulsa
that you have a piece of?
Say, garbage collecting,
construction, trucking? No.
You guys didn't even
know fucking Tulsa existed
until you found out I was here.
But you are there, Dwight.
Yeah, I am here, and I'm talking to him.
How about outside of Tulsa?
Do you have a piece of
that? Do you have a piece
of the city of Galena and our turbines?
Do you have a piece
of the Indian proceeds?
We don't fuck with the natives.
And that has no bearing on this problem.
You are an outsider. Period.
Tulsa's mine.
Is this something you really want
to fucking battle over, General?
Because you're gonna fucking lose.
Maybe yes, maybe no.
But I was sent here
against my will by his boss,
and I had to do what
I had to do to survive.
And I did survive. I'm still surviving.
But if you're owed a debt,
that's on New York.
It's your obligation.
No, come That's bullshit. You owe.
If the envelopes stop, so
does your liability coverage.
Either way, I need some money.
I'm down a man, a good fucking man.
One that you took out, remember?
Oh, you mean that fucking cretin
that you wanted to whack me that guy?
Is that how you picture this?
You broke his neck and
you stabbed his guts out
and you left him on my fucking driveway.
We went light on him, okay, pal?
I picture you coming into
my joint with an ultimatum,
and then you have this fucking
mook try to blow my brains out.
And for a brief moment,
I actually entertained the notion
of coming to your house,
setting it on fucking
fire with you in it.
But you know what? I didn't do it.
I said, "Let it pass."
And here we are,
talking like gentlemen. Imagine that.
I know that Kansas City deals
in regular rackets across the board.
Are you guys invested
in, say, growing weed?
Why do you want to know that?
I'm just curious. Are you involved
in cannabis farming, say, in Oklahoma?
Not anymore. It's a pain in my ass.
I left it to the China-billys.
So, you're out?
Or are you growing someplace else?
Missouri and parts of Texas.
Is this heading somewhere?
I'm just saying that I heard
that Texas is going through a
very bad drought, that's all.
And what are you, a
fucking weatherman now?
Not a weatherman, but I'm just saying
that for your business,
it must be slowing down without water.
Hey, don't worry about
the fucking water problem.
- [VINCE] Hold on.
- Worry about this problem.
Don't tell me to hold on.
Worry about this problem.
You're in the weed business.
The right thing to do is you
cut us in for a taste of it.
- Yeah.
- [DWIGHT] Mm-hmm.
How about a week from never?
Is that too soon?
- Ah, perfect timing.
- Here you go.
Sure you don't want one?
That's okay, I'm an adult.
[DWIGHT] Don't know
what you're missing here.
I left New York to the rats.
Four-legged and otherwise.
I don't owe you or Chickie
nothing, not a dollar.
You guys owe me. I spent 25 years
behind the wall for you guys.
And as for Kansas City,
we're neighbors, man.
We can't be at each other's throats.
So what I'm willing
to do is give you 15%
off the top, and you provide security
and distribution if needed.
15% off the top?
Hmm?
Maybe I can live with that.
And for the sake of
peace, I have another idea
that you might be interested in.
- What's that?
- Top-quality weed
at $600 a pound, specially for you.
[LAUGHS]
Now I get it. You.
Yeah.
You've got fucking square
balls, I'll tell you that much.
And what about you
the fuck you got to offer?
We've got gray market Ozempic.
Fake-zempic. His stuff makes you fatter.
Come on. That's fucking bullshit.
It's a big markup. People love it.
I'll even ship it to you
'cause you got to keep it cold.
It's my pleasure.
That's nice "pleasure."
Fake shit?
[CHUCKLES] They love it?
Wow, you know, I heard when Pete died
that you guys became lightweights,
but not to this fucking extent.
Five fifty on the weed.
Five ninety.
Bullshit. 560.
Five eighty or I'm on the jet.
You're bluffing.
Five seventy-five, 'cause you

Sorry I'm late. Fucking Uber.
Where's Chickie?
- He's still at LaGuardia.
- Aw
- He was detained.
- Why?
He had this pistol in his ankle holster.
He brought a gun to a sit-down?
No. No, no. He just forgot he had it.
It happens.
It happens if you're a moron.
See, on that we agree.
So, for the purposes of this meeting,
you can speak for Chickie?
Absolutely.
Okay, good. Let's get this going.
Would you like to hear our specials?
Oh, no, thank you.
Sure. What do you got?
I'm not here to eat. Know what I mean?
You're not curious
about the local cuisine?
You're interested, is that right?
Mm-hmm. What are the specialties?
Yeah, what are they?
Well, we have red beans and rice,
collard greens, southern oxtails,
hoppin' Johns, which is
black-eyed peas and rice,
- Mmm.
- candied yams,
pigs' feet and sweet potato pie.
Wow, how about that.
How about we get you
a plate of pigs' feet for the ride home?
House specialty, yeah?
Good memory.
I think we're good for now, sweetheart.
Okay.
- There you go.
- Thank you.
Let's get this started.
What's on your mind, General?
No, you go first.
It's like I said the last time we met:
Tulsa belongs to KC. You got
the history lesson, right?
- I did.
- [BEVILAQUA] Good. Yeah.
Point is you're doing
business on my turf,
and you don't want to even
entertain a reasonable offer. Nothing.
We been here, protecting, building,
fighting for what's
ours for fucking decades.
And then all of a sudden,
like a bad fucking magic trick,
you drop in out of the fucking sky.
You got no backing, you got no crew,
you got nothing.
And you actually trying to
take over my fucking territory?
No agreements?
And you don't want to give me anything?
I mean, let me ask you
guys a fucking question.
In what world
is that acceptable?
I want to know.
There's a flaw in your logic.
You assume that I automatically
agree that Tulsa's your turf.
Is there any part of Tulsa
that you have a piece of?
Say, garbage collecting,
construction, trucking? No.
You guys didn't even
know fucking Tulsa existed
until you found out I was here.
But you are there, Dwight.
Yeah, I am here, and I'm talking to him.
How about outside of Tulsa?
Do you have a piece of
that? Do you have a piece
of the city of Galena and our turbines?
Do you have a piece
of the Indian proceeds?
We don't fuck with the natives.
And that has no bearing on this problem.
You are an outsider. Period.
Tulsa's mine.
Is this something you really want
to fucking battle over, General?
Because you're gonna fucking lose.
Maybe yes, maybe no.
But I was sent here
against my will by his boss,
and I had to do what
I had to do to survive.
And I did survive. I'm still surviving.
But if you're owed a debt,
that's on New York.
It's your obligation.
No, come That's bullshit. You owe.
If the envelopes stop, so
does your liability coverage.
Either way, I need some money.
I'm down a man, a good fucking man.
One that you took out, remember?
Oh, you mean that fucking cretin
that you wanted to whack me that guy?
Is that how you picture this?
You broke his neck and
you stabbed his guts out
and you left him on my fucking driveway.
We went light on him, okay, pal?
I picture you coming into
my joint with an ultimatum,
and then you have this fucking
mook try to blow my brains out.
And for a brief moment,
I actually entertained the notion
of coming to your house,
setting it on fucking
fire with you in it.
But you know what? I didn't do it.
I said, "Let it pass."
And here we are,
talking like gentlemen. Imagine that.
I know that Kansas City deals
in regular rackets across the board.
Are you guys invested
in, say, growing weed?
Why do you want to know that?
I'm just curious. Are you involved
in cannabis farming, say, in Oklahoma?
Not anymore. It's a pain in my ass.
I left it to the China-billys.
So, you're out?
Or are you growing someplace else?
Missouri and parts of Texas.
Is this heading somewhere?
I'm just saying that I heard
that Texas is going through a
very bad drought, that's all.
And what are you, a
fucking weatherman now?
Not a weatherman, but I'm just saying
that for your business,
it must be slowing down without water.
Hey, don't worry about
the fucking water problem.
- [VINCE] Hold on.
- Worry about this problem.
Don't tell me to hold on.
Worry about this problem.
You're in the weed business.
The right thing to do is you
cut us in for a taste of it.
- Yeah.
- [DWIGHT] Mm-hmm.
How about a week from never?
Is that too soon?
- Ah, perfect timing.
- Here you go.
Sure you don't want one?
That's okay, I'm an adult.
[DWIGHT] Don't know
what you're missing here.
I left New York to the rats.
Four-legged and otherwise.
I don't owe you or Chickie
nothing, not a dollar.
You guys owe me. I spent 25 years
behind the wall for you guys.
And as for Kansas City,
we're neighbors, man.
We can't be at each other's throats.
So what I'm willing
to do is give you 15%
off the top, and you provide security
and distribution if needed.
15% off the top?
Hmm?
Maybe I can live with that.
And for the sake of
peace, I have another idea
that you might be interested in.
- What's that?
- Top-quality weed
at $600 a pound, specially for you.
[LAUGHS]
Now I get it. You.
Yeah.
You've got fucking square
balls, I'll tell you that much.
And what about you
the fuck you got to offer?
We've got gray market Ozempic.
Fake-zempic. His stuff makes you fatter.
Come on. That's fucking bullshit.
It's a big markup. People love it.
I'll even ship it to you
'cause you got to keep it cold.
It's my pleasure.
That's nice "pleasure."
Fake shit?
[CHUCKLES] They love it?
Wow, you know, I heard when Pete died
that you guys became lightweights,
but not to this fucking extent.
Five fifty on the weed.
Five ninety.
Bullshit. 560.
Five eighty or I'm on the jet.
You're bluffing.
Five seventy-five, 'cause you
know that's all it's worth.
Oh, you're a ball buster.
Five seventy-five, done
and done. Let's shake on it.
You're different. Give you that much.
Fuck you too, General.
And fuck you, Bill.
Hold on. What the
fuck does New York get?
The milkshakes.
Both of 'em.
