- [TYSON] What's the plan?
- [DWIGHT] We wait.
- My pops is nearly dead!
- Easy. Easy.
It was Bevilaqua. What the fuck?
You don't make a move until we know
what we're up against.
All's I know is whoever tried
to kill you, it wasn't us.
What about Thresher?
- What about him?
- Did you see
any of his cronies
driving a white Prius?
Him? You think that
I'm sorry, I'm just, I'm
caught in the middle here.
There's only one side, Armand.
What happened?
Explosive went off too early.
What happens when Manfredi
finds out about this?
'Cause he sure as shit will.
I could go to Dwight, make
a business arrangement.
But not with Chickie out front.
So let me move Chickie aside.
We got to go to the bosses.
We got to get this sanctioned.
Something you want to tell me?
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm gonna find that white Prius.
And when I do, I'm gonna burn
your world to the fucking ground.
Tough times don't last,
but tough people do.
- That's you and me.
- You have terrible taste in men.
- Forgive me.

Tyson
if this was the real mafia,
I have grounds to
take you out right now.
It's payback for my father.
Your father's still alive.
So is the other guy.
That's not the point.
You created a big problem for everybody.
[MITCH] It's a miracle
you got away with it.
Ten ways you could have gotten caught.
There are much better ways
to handle things like this.
You're supposed to plan, to think ahead.
You don't just storm in
like some fucking cowboy,
where you can get wasted,
or worse, arrested.
How is arrested worse?
Because you jeopardize everybody.
There's a hierarchy, steps to follow.
You go to the boss first,
and he gives you the okay.
Even then, you still gotta
seriously plan, for Chrissakes.
So
[STAMMERING] So what we gonna do here?
I'm out? Y'all getting rid of me?
- He doesn't get it.
- Nope.
[DWIGHT] He still doesn't get it.
You don't get it, do you?
You're part of a family.
That means we're here to
protect you no matter what.
Even when you're wrong, Tyson.
But you can't put us
in fucking jeopardy.
You gotta try to protect us, too.
So you gotta think.
Be responsible for your actions.
- Okay.
- [DWIGHT] Okay?
Go home, clean up.
Start over.
Bigfoot.
That white Prius is registered
to a company called AGV Imports.
Here's the address.

- Fuck yeah.
Yeah, we should have done it last night.
The fuck you say?
Nothing. You know, just
for Vic's sake, I think
- You questioning me?
- No.
You keep your mouth fucking shut.
What's Manfredi's crew look like?
It's fucking nothing. It's
him, it's the Black kid,
it's the consigliere.
- A bunch of fucking misfits.
- Any shooters?
I don't know and I don't give
a fuck; what does it matter?
Well, I'm just trying to
strategize. I want to know
I don't give a fuck what they got.
They're not us. Right? Right?!

Just know that I love
you both very much,
and this is not something
that I wanted to happen,
but
you know, Dev, your past,
it'll become your future
if you don't deal with it.
You know?
You gotta deal with it.
You can't run from it

right there behind you, chasing you.
It's got your number.
You gotta you gotta run towards it.
You understand me? Meet

Listen, Dev, do me a favor.
Could you and your brother maybe,
I don't know, try and
remember the good times, too,
'cause there was a lot of them.
And I'm afraid that when you think
when you think about me,
you're just gonna remember this.
Anyway, I love you guys.
That's it. Bye.

Excuse me, gentlemen.
If you're here to visit
and you want to leave
this car parked out on the street,
you're gonna need a
temporary parking pass,
and that pass must be
displayed on the dashboard.
Oh.
Yeah, sorry about that.
We were just in the neighborhood,
thought we'd drop in on an old friend.
Really? That's funny, I've never
seen you around here before.
Who's your old friend?
Oh, just an old high school buddy.
Oh, Mr. Manfredi.
Well, I don't think he's home.
Well, I appreciate that.
We'll just come back then.
Well, if you do, make sure you ask
Mr. Manfredi about that
parking pass, all right?
- Will do.
- Well, you tell Mr. Manfredi I said hello.
When I first came to this country at 13,
I had nothing.
Lived in a room with
eight other refugees.
Washed dishes at a
restaurant in Minneapolis.
They called the food "Chinese."
I didn't even recognize it.
Hmm.
Taught myself the language,
kept my ears open and my mouth shut.
And I learned about Americans.
What'd you learn?
That they're lazy.
Spoiled.
Do you know why we succeed so quickly?
Because we are willing to be ruthless.
Because we have nothing to lose.
What does that have to do with us?
I'm changing our agreement.
What, are you leaving the business?
You are.
