What is going on in Atlanta?
Gonna work out some misunderstandings.
- So it's a sit-down.
- Where did you hear that term?
It's not like she didn't
grow up in this family.
You're in the weed business.
The right thing to do is
you cut us in for a taste.
How 'bout a week from never?
And as for Kansas City
we're neighbors, man.
- 15% off the top.
- Maybe I can live with that.
What the fuck does New York get?
The milkshakes. Both of 'em.
Manfredi thinks he can do
whatever the hell he wants.
You don't defeat an enemy
by using half measures.
Shouldn't have caved.
Manfredi's got my lunch money.
- We made a deal, though, right?
- Fuck that.
I don't want to do this
anymore. Dwight's too dangerous.
I own you.
- What does Dwight give us?
- Nothing.
You're a stupid motherfucker.
- That anything?
- It's dead.
I'm gonna buy the Navigator.
Okay. Go for it.
Hey, Tyson, stay alert.
Keep your head on a swivel.
I bought it. Now it's yours.

Still waiting on the doc.
Excuse me. I'm sorry about Mark.
He's a strong guy.
I'm sure he'll come
back better than ever.
- Anybody need anything?
- [ANGIE] No.
Thank you.

[INDISTINCT P.A. ANNOUNCEMENT]
- How is he, Doctor?
- He's a very lucky man.
He's alive because he seems
to have only been halfway into the car
at the time of the explosion.
- So he's gonna be okay?
- He will.
He'll need surgery on his
right shoulder and leg,
and he also got some burns
that'll need attention,
but other than that,
- he's out of danger.
- Mm.
So how long he got to be up in here?
- A week, possibly less.
- Can we see him?
Only briefly. He's sedated,
so he really won't be able
to speak, but I'll send a nurse out
- to bring you back.
- Okay.
- Okay?
- All right.
I want him dead, and
I want to do it myself.
Not now. We don't know anything.
What else do we have to know?
It was Bevilaqua. It was Bevilaqua!
Mama, I swear to God,
I'm-I'm gonna handle this.
- I promise you.
- Who the hell are you?
'Cause you ain't my son.
You're just a two-bit
gangster just like them.
- Mama, it's not even like that.
- It's exactly like that!
Now get out, all of you.
You want to see your father,
do it when I'm not around.

What do you have so far?
It's definitely an incendiary device.
Remote-controlled, looks defective.
Most likely went off too early.
Uh, we got a name off the
VIN. You're gonna love it.
Car's registered to Dwight Manfredi.
The plumber's son's his driver.
So Dad here was just collateral damage?
Unless he's got a really
pissed-off customer.
Tell me about the explosion.
I don't know. It just
all happened so fast.
Like, right before my
dad pushed a button,
there was this white car, this Prius.
- It was, like sketchy.
- Yup.
- What do you mean?
- I don't know.
I saw it earlier in that day.
It was like it was like
it was watching us.
Right before the car
exploded, it skirted off.
- Any security cameras?
- Nah.
- Any neighbors see anything?
- No. I don't know.
What difference does that even make?
It makes a big difference.
I need to know the exact address
where you first saw the Prius.
Okay, fine, but what's the fucking plan?
We wait until we know something.
We wait?
We waited, and now this is the price.
My pops is nearly dead!
It was Bevilaqua. What the
fuck? Are y'all serous right now?

You told us he was gonna
come for us, and he did.
Hey, you don't make this
personal. You get it?
If it's not personal, then
what the fuck else is it?
- It's business, kid.
- That's right. It's business.
They weren't trying
to whack your old man.
They wanted to kill me.
- And me, too.
- You, too.
Maybe it was Kansas City. I doubt it.
It could be New York.

don't think it was them.
- Too obvious.
- Mm.
You know, it could've
been Bevilaqua's guy,
Vic the fuck is his
name? It doesn't matter.
But he wasn't too
happy with the sit-down,
and he could've whispered
in Bevilaqua's ear,
kind of squirreled the whole deal.
That's a possibility.
From a whisper to a car bomb?
Seems like a pretty big jump.
Well, New York is mad enough to do it.
And with Chickie, you can never tell.
He's a hothead, he'll have a hard-on
for you until the day he dies.
Maybe we should put
that idea into the works.
Throw Vince in there,
too, while we're at it.
- Yeah.
- I have this theory.
I think Vince is too stupid to die.
- [LAUGHS]
- It's a theory.
You know, some guys
bulletproof?
- Trying to be serious here.
- I know.
What about your pal Thresher?
You said he worked with Bevilaqua.
Could be the two of them together.
I don't know, Mitch.

Should we shut down for a few days,
say it's, like, some kind of
family emergency or something?
Fuck.

What kind of message would that send?
Not as bad as the messages
being dead would send.

upside there, though, right?

Keep all his stuff.

Manfredi got no backup to speak of.
Exactly, we take out him
and the fucking Black kid.
That's key, also.
It's his father got blown up.
He's got to be looking for blood.
What, are you fucking psychic now?
Is that what you all are?
I keep telling you, this
guy is fucking different.
He's a killer for sure, but

Tyson.
I can't talk about nothing right now.
Now no one gonna save my soul ♪
We're all tied together, bud.
So when I hear you saying shit
about driving to Kansas City
to shoot someone,
you don't even think like that yet.
My mother hates me.
My family.
They think I'm responsible.
And they're right.
It wasn't your fault.
The fuck it wasn't!
Why did I give my dad that car?
Because it was a
beautiful fucking gesture.
He's your father. How
could you have known?
Should've been me! Should've been me!
Not him.
When are we gonna get our revenge?
Look, shut up, I'm gonna
tell you something, all right?
And I want you to
really think about this.
Not now, not when your emotions are raw.
I mean tomorrow when you wake up.
You are at a crossroads, my friend.
A real life fucking crossroads.
And this might be
your last chance to
get out of this life.
I'm already in it! I'm in it!
I'm in it, man!
Some shit's been done
that can't be undone.
All right, I have done
bad things, all right?
And I have done
hard fucking time for
it, so you listen to me.
You murder a motherfucker,
there is no turning back.
You will never be the same.
Believe me, every night
when you close your eyes,
you will see that guy's face.
So don't fucking do it!
Anybody can kill a man, sure
as shit, but when you do,
a little piece of you dies, too.
[BEVILAQUA] Point is, we
had nothing to do with it.
Not that that fucking matters.
What matters is, Manfredi thinks we did.
Strike first, strike hard,
that's my fucking vote.
[BEVILAQUA] Your vote?
So you want trouble?
[SALLY DOGS] Maybe we could reach out.
Reason with him.
You know what "projecting" means?
It means you're putting out the
wrong fucking premature ideas
about what's actually
happening right now,
which is a big fucking nothing.
[ART] Could be New York for all we know.
Trying to set us up.
[BEVILAQUA] Possible.
What's the financial
upside there, though, right?
I don't think they're players.
They hate the guy,
that's for sure, but
to whack him is personal,
it's not profitable.
So what's the plan?
[SALLY DOGS] He's got the casino, right?
The weed store, all
the rest of his shit?
I say we take him out.
Keep all his stuff.
Put the blame on New York.
I mean, why not?
Manfredi got no backup to speak of.
Exactly, we take out him
and the fucking Black kid.
That's key, also.
It's his father got blown up.
He's got to be looking for blood.
What, are you fucking psychic now?
Is that what you all are?
I keep telling you, this
guy is fucking different.
He's a killer for sure, but
he's a major fucking earner
and he's only gonna grow.
Doesn't makes sense
to kill this guy now.
Huh, why?
Why?
Not now.
Maybe down the road a
little bit, maybe later,
but not now.

Well, well, I like it.
- You like that I'm weak?
- That's not weak.
I think it's flattering.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Flattering.
I tell you that we need to cool it,
we need to stay away from
each other for a while,
and here we are.
That's pretty weak in my book.
- You want to make this crazy relationship work?
- Okay.
I want to know what you're thinking.
What you're going through.
You know, Margaret, all my life,
I take and I take, I take and I take.
And you know what I give back?
Ugatz.
Not good.
You gave 25 years of your life.
- Mm.
- Or are you just
- feeling sorry for yourself?
- No.
I'm mad at myself.
You spend all this time
trying to build something.
And not just me.
Any guy.
He spends his whole life,
his best years trying to get something.
And the price you pay:
the people that need you the most
are left behind.
They get nothing.
And when the time comes
for you to check out
you don't matter to anybody.
We all got regrets, we've made mistakes.
Well, I, I made a lot.
A lot.
I have a corner on regrets.
And I keep wondering,
why are you with me?
I mean, I'm glad you are.
But it's not safe, Margaret.
Are you fishing for a compliment?
[CHUCKLES] Maybe.
- A little one.
- [CHUCKLING] Okay.
Here's the deal.
Tough times don't last,
but tough people do.
- Hmm.
- That's you and me.
We've had to be, or else
people walk all over us.
Way too many times, but that
is not gonna happen again.
And if you want to build a future,
you got to know what you want.
I want you.
You have terrible taste in men.
- Tell me about it.
- [CHUCKLES]
Listen, I know about Thresher and his
low-life Kansas City playmates.
Yeah, you got a dark side.
So do I.

Sorry.
Hello.
[PAUL OVER PHONE] Mr. Manfredi,
uh, it's Paul Cheevers.
The vehicle you inquired about
is registered to a business
called AGV Imports,
375 Front Street in Guthrie.
Okay. Thanks.
- [PHONE BEEPS]
- Everything okay?
Yeah.
More gangster business?
Sorta.
Margaret, you're not a
little afraid of this?
Scared a little bit?
Mm, a little.
It's kind of a turn-on.
[CHUCKLING] Turn-on.
I got an idea.
Why don't we go back to my
place for a little private time?
And I know you're really busy,
so don't feel obligated
to spend the night.
[CHUCKLING] Okay.
Check, please.

Did you ?
Manfredi. I told you.
You don't fuck around with a snake.
You cut its head off and throw it away.

The explosive went off too early.
They both should have been gone.

Manfredi finds out about this?
'Cause he sure as shit will.
Not going to happen.
Of course it is!
