Tulsa King

MTV

- What's the plan? - 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.

Whatever you're thinking about doing,

don't fucking do it.

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.

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...

So what we gonna do here?

I'm out? Y'all getting rid of me?

- He doesn't get it. - Nope.

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. - Okay?

Go home, clean up.

Start over.

Bigfoot.

That white Prius is registered to a company called

AGV Imports.

Here's the address.

Check it out, give me a call, okay?

I'm on it.

He's a good kid. He'll be all right.

Yeah, he'll be all right. He's-- He's young.

We all here? Where the fuck's Art?

- Parking his car. -

Did I not say nine o'clock?

At the hospital checking on Vic.

- How's he doing? - Jacked up on morphine,

but he's all right.

Took two fucking bullets.

Those little fuckers, man. He see who did it?

- No. - All right,

we're gonna hit fucking Tulsa, and we're gonna hit 'em hard.

- Do you understand me? - 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?!

- Yeah. Right. - Right!

- Okay. - Where are the cops in all this?

They don't know nothing,

and we're gonna keep it that way.

New York.

Chickie!

Why do I got five missed calls from you?

Because it fucking happened.

- That's why, Chickie. - What did?

He tried to clip one of my fucking guys. Manfredi.

- Manfredi personally? - I don't know.

Him or his fucking crew. My guy Vic,

they shot him twice in his fucking shoulder

in my fucking driveway.

My fucking house again, Chickie!

- Second time. - He okay?

No, he's not okay. He's fucking shot.

Are you sure it's Dwight behind all this?

I don't know. Was it you, Chick?

Of course not.

Well, then, it was fucking Manfredi.

I'm done with this.

I'm done with this fucking guy,

you understand me?

I-I got him up to fucking here.

He's fucking gone! Do you understand?

If it's the last fucking thing I do, Chickie,

I'm getting rid of him. You understand me?

Fine by me.

I'm glad you fucking approve.

percussive, upbeat music

I really appreciate you coming.

Well, I almost didn't, but you sounded

really not good on the phone.

Jesus, you been drinking already?

It's not even 9 a.m., Armand.

I'm jammed up, Clara, please.

Would you, please?

- Is it him? - Partially.

I've gotten to know this other guy.

He's rich, owns horses.

He was paying me a lot of money

to get information on Dwight.

Now, it was all innocent at first,

but now I'm not so sure.

What does that even mean?

There was an attempt on Dwight's life,

and it's possible this guy was involved.

And Dwight blames you?

Not yet, but...

Thinking of going to the FBI.

What, witness protection?

Yeah. It's not a bad option, Clara.

They relocate you, they help you get a job.

What about you and the kids?

What about us?

Well, would you come with me?

Are you-- Are you insane?

I am moving on with my life, Armand.

So are the kids.

We're moving to Denver.

Denver? Why?

Because it's not Tulsa, which you have made

a fucking nightmare for us.

Hey, you know, I love the sympathy, Clara.

- Really, it's so beautiful. - You know what?

You have no one to blame but yourself.

Hey, fuck you! All right? Fuck you!

I'll be fucking better off without you anyway.

Do not fucking call me.

Ever!

- -

- Grandpa. - Grandpa.

Hey, guys. Hello. Hello, hello.

- Oh, you're getting so strong. - Can we wrestle?

Oh, you want to wrestle now?

Maybe a little later. I need to talk to your mommy.

- 'Kay. - Kids, go play upstairs, please.

Okay.

What is it now?

Everything is okay,

but Tyson had an-an accident.

What kind of accident?

- A shooting. - Shooting?

He's okay, but...

I think it's very important

that you take the kids

and leave the city now.

It's the only safe thing to do.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't think this would happen.

I just didn't know it would be so soon.

I think you should go back to New York.

And just like that, after everything...
