[ANAHU] We want payback for this.
[DWIGHT] I know.
- We're at war.
- This is for you.
Jimmy's mother wanted you to have it.
I hope to put this to good use.
Got a proposition for you.
Maybe a path back.
- What's that?
- Get Dwight back into the fold.
As long as Tulsa's his,
it ain't ours.
We need to put our differences aside.
Why are you so desperate
to let everybody know
that you weren't involved
in trying to kill me?
It wasn't me, Dwight.
It was Ming.
Manfredi knows it was you
behind the car bombing.
- And now he's coming for me.
- Hard.
How do I get to him?
Just around the corner.

This is the man who caused
all the bloodletting.
Armand returned the 500 grand

So, Armand, we're square.
Bigfoot, you wanna bury that?

[DWIGHT] How big is this farm?
[THRESHER] 18,200 acres.
[DWIGHT] Lot of land, lot of profit.
Yeah.
You know, I feel like I owe you
for taking care of that
whole Ming situation.
What do you mean "owe"?
A partnership.
You think I'm doing this
or we did this for free?
Oh, I know nothing comes for free.
You need to be compensated, fairly.
So name a price.
I'm not here to negotiate.
That's what businessmen do,
Dwight, we discuss things.
"Discuss things"?
You're breathing. You're walking around.
You're smelling the coffee.
All right, I saved your ass, Thresher.
I put your enemy in the ground,
and you're gonna follow him if you
negate this deal.
Are you threatening me?
You'd never do that. Do you know why?
Because I'm not some disposable thug
that you'd normally just get rid of.
So don't threaten me with this
"I'm gonna make you disappear" routine.
You'd never get away with it.
And you can forget
about owning all of this.
So let's discuss and
negotiate like gentlemen.
Fine.
Bigfoot?
Yeah?
Kill him.

Put it down.
I'm impressed.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Why?
- You got guts, Cal.
What does that mean?
It means
I'm gonna give you a chance
to try to think clearly.
Okay?
I'm taking all of this,
every bit,
'cause I got rid of Ming for you.
And you should be thanking me because
you were a dead man.
But you know what you suffer from?
I'm afraid you're gonna tell me.
Pride.
Pride will get you killed
faster than anything.
This is not your world, pal.
This is the underworld,
and people like you
should stay out of it.
People like you
get killed in the underworld.
So
you were born rich.
You have oil money.
Go live your rich life.
And forget the gangster life.
Leave the gangster life
to fucking gangsters.
Point well taken.
I never did enjoy this
enterprise, anyway.
Good luck, Dwight.
Fuck off.

was about to Swiss cheese Thresher.
No, that was, like, a negotiating tool.

All done.
You are now the new and

Well, ain't that just music to my ears.
How do you feel, Donnie?
Well I never once thought
I'd sell 352 cars in one day. [LAUGHS]
Let me ask you,
what are you gonna do with

- General.
- [DWIGHT OVER PHONE] Yeah.
Just calling to let you know
that we're under new management.
What's that mean?
Chickie's out.
Really? When you say "out,"
you mean "down and out"?
Just moved aside,
with the full support
of the other families.
What's important now is I'm in charge.
Oh, that's great. So, the, uh, inmates
have taken over the asylum. [SCOFFS]

He's headed your way.
You should know that.
Why?
He's been given an ultimatum.
The other families think you
should be kicking back to us.
If Chickie can't convince you,
for all intents and
purposes, he's done here.
Kicking back? That won't be happening.
Good.
I didn't want that psycho
around anymore anyway.
How Chickie treated you was a disgrace.
Pete, too, if I'm being honest.
Whatever happens, I hope
together we can move forward.
That's bullshit, man.
Okay, Vince. The only thing
I want moving forward
over you is a fucking bus.

They think Chickie's

That's not gonna happen.
According to who?
Vince.
You're gonna give all this to New York?

Yeah. This belongs to all of us,

Said he was done, out.
Yeah. That's the deal.
Good. Fuck him.
So what's my deal?
Oh, you want to cut yourself in?
I think I got it coming to me, no?
I tipped you off to Ming, right?

My guys took half of his guys out.
I killed for you.
So what's my part in all this shit show?
How about some peace and quiet?

You're a funny guy.
Let's not forget you took
out my right-hand man.
You killed Jimmy the Creek.
Fifty percent,
half and half, right
down the fucking middle.
It's the right thing.
You took out Jimmy the Creek,
so you're getting 25%,

I should be happy?
You're gonna give me 25%?

Are you out of your fucking mind?
You started all this.
You came here to whack

You wanted to take it

"Different"? How?
Enlightened.
Like now you see the light.
I see what's ahead, Dwight.
And the future's fucking bright.
It's ironic.
You travel all the
way out here to see me,

you guys wouldn't
travel a couple of miles
to see me.
Ironic.

Mucked out the stalls, as well.
Hmm.

do you no longer work here?

this place has been my life, Margaret.
I mean, you, the ranch
hands, the horses
It's like home here, you know?
It's all I know.

it was the only thing I didn't fuck up.
Yeah. And you did.
You were a good manager,
Armand, but mm-mm.
I know, and I apologize
from the bottom of my heart.
I'm not the one that needs to hear that.
We cleared the air for quite a while.
See, I'm trying to get my family back,
my wife and kids, and

fixing things in New York
with your family, first and foremost,
not going back at Dwight.
Hey. What is it with you and this guy?
He's the root of all
my fucking problems.
Yours, too,
- if you're not careful.
- What the fuck does that mean?
Pulled the same shit with you.
You give him an inch,
he'll take a fucking mile.
He's a greedy fuck.
I'll give you that much.
And what happens when
that greed goes unchecked?
What kind of message does that send?

respect to my father

Rules are rules, Bill.

or you help me
