Eddie, don't do this!

Eddie!

All right! All right, Eddie.

You can have everything, everything I have!

Sorry, Ollie.

I gotta make an example outta you, just like the other two.

Oh, please, Eddie.

Please. I've changed my mind.

I've changed my mind.

You can have my clients... contacts.

Actually, uh, I have those.

You shoulda joined the Ferrellis

when you had a chance.

No, Eddie. Don't do this.

Please!

Drop him, Al.

No, Eddie! No!

All right!

Hello, Bill.

Mary.

Walker. Alex.

Nice to see the deputy mayor gets out

every once in a while.

Hey! I'm so glad you could make it.

We're glad to be here.

Between Walker's schedule and mine,

we don't get this luxury too often.

You should take advantage of it while you can.

Do you know if you're gonna

have a boy or a girl?

We're gonna be surprised.

Well, you got here right on time.

Frank is just coming on.

Ladies and gentlemen... Frank Bishop!

Thank you, and welcome to Frank's Spot.

Sit back, we're gonna have a good time.

Hello, Alex.

Hi. Sweetheart, how are you?

Oh, great. Walker.

Hey, Frank. How ya doin', buddy?

Good.

You were great, Dad.

Thanks, sweetie.

Hey, baby. Mmm.

Frank,

singing those love songs and looking at Ellen.

Sexy, isn't it?

You can say that again.

All right, girls. Enough of that stuff.

Well, you know, Frank, you're ruining it for the rest

of us guys.

Oh, honey, you know I love you,

even though you can't sing.

Oh, that's refreshing.

But, actually, Frank, you were great.

Oh, thanks, Walker.

Well, I've had this club

for three years now, and it's been

a terrific three years, huh?

Yes, Frank, it has.

Well, lets make a toast

to many more terrific years.

Down the hatch.

After I pay Sonny off, it's gonna be

a whole new world for us, baby.

No more scrimping, no living month to month.

You know, Roberta's at a friend's house tonight.

Mmm.

So, I say when you get home...

we celebrate.

What do you got in mind?

Ooh, that's a secret.

I'll get a bottle of wine, be home as soon as I can.

Don't be long. I won't.

Hey!

Golden voice.

What's wrong, Sonny? You don't knock?

Not when it's business.

Don't worry. I got your money.

Keep it.

Keep it? This squares us.

Well, that's the problem, Frank.

You see, my people don't want us to end our, uh...

working relationship.

Well, that's too bad.

That's the last payment.

You're not listenin' so good, Frankie boy.

You see, when you're in business with us...

that's a lifetime partnership.

Partnership?

Yeah.

We're taking half your club.

My club?

Our club.

Sign the contracts.

Sonny, Sonny, Sonny,

Let me tell you something.

I know who you work for,

and I'm not giving my club up to you... or them.

You don't mean that, do you, Frank?

Don't I?

Teach him we don't take "no" for an answer, Al.

Now you listen up.

My people want this place.

Come Saturday, you either sign that contract,

or you ain't gonna have any voice box to sing with.

In the meantime,

I'm gonna take your office.

Capisce?

Come on, Al.

d In the eyes of a Ranger d

d The unsuspecting stranger d

d Had better know the truth d

d Of wrong from right d

d 'Cause the eyes of the Ranger are upon you d

d Any wrong you do he's gonna see d

d When you're in Texas, look behind you d

d 'Cause that's where the Ranger's gonna be. d

What've you got, Sergeant?

Looks like somebody dumped this poor slob

into a vat full of acid.

You know who it is?

Yeah, a small-time bookie. Olmedo.

I heard this matched some cases you're working on,

so I figured you'd want to check it out.

Okay, thanks, Sergeant.

Third guy this month to take an acid bath.

You know, Trivette,

this is something the Mob would do

to send a message.

You're right.

I'll get Sydney and Gage to check the streets,

see if there's any movement from organized crime.

Okay.

See.

Here's what I'm talking about.

This says power, huh?

Take Frank's junk

and throw it in his dressing room.

Take it in, a little big.

Bang.

What is this, a fashion show, Sonny?

Nah, Mr. Ferrelli, It's just that,

you know, since I'm taking over the club,

I thought I should get some new threads.

Our boy has signed the contract?

He's signing Saturday night.

Oh.

Good, good.

'Cause as soon

as we get control, the, uh, laundry

is open for business,

and this club is gonna do a lot of business.

Listen, I'm just happy to help, Mr. Ferrelli.

No, I know, I know, I know.

Yeah, we'll take over every racket in Dallas,

and all that cash is gonna flow

right through here.

Now, that's a big responsibility, Sonny.

Don't you worry about a thing.

Hey, I don't get worried, Sonny.

I get, uh... results.

Huh?

You ready, Frank?

Yeah, but I don't see

why we have to have 'em over here.

The Walkers had us to their ranch.

Yeah, I know. I'd just feel better

if we met 'em someplace... nice.

This is our home, Frank.

There's nothing wrong with it.

Yeah, I know.

I just thought things

would be... different by now, that's all.

Frank, they will be different... someday.

Frank, they're here.

Hi!

Hey, Walker.

Hi. Hi. Ah, thank you.

Nice to see you.

Alex, you look beautiful as always, honey.

Hello, there. Thank you.

Good. Come on in.

Okay.

I really enjoyed

this evening with Frank and Ellen.

So did I.

I like 'em a lot.

Me, too.

You know, Walker,

I don't want this to sound wrong,

but Frank owns the top nightclub in Dallas.

I was just a little surprised at how modest

their apartment was

and that they seemed so concerned

about how they were gonna pay for Roberta's college.

Yeah, I noticed that, too.

I just hope everything's okay with them.

Maybe I'll talk to Frank when the time's right.

Yeah.

Eastbound coach number 832 is now boarding

for Shreveport, New Orleans, Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

Hey, easy, Luther.

What's up, man?

Seem a little nervous today.

Nah, I'm not nervous.

Just a little anxious to get

on my vacation here, that's all.

Uh-huh. Where you going?

Let me see. Let me see.

Miami, Florida.

And what would possess you

to go to Miami, Florida, Luther?

My health.

Life in Dallas suddenly bad for your health?

Nah, Rangers. Mm-mm.

I don't know nothin' about nothin'.

Please, Luther. You know everything.

No, not this time. Sorry.

Easy, easy now.

I tell you what...

Why don't you give us something right now,

or we're gonna take you downtown

and sweat it out of you.

Sweat. Now, that's something

that would do wonders for your health.

All right, now hold on.

See, I said I didn't know nothin'.

That don't mean I didn't hear anything.

What'd you hear?

Some big family's makin' a hard push...

Takin' over all the operators in Dallas.

I'm talkin' big guys, little guys,

even guys like me. How?

Well, that's easy.

They, uh, make you an offer that you can't refuse.

Either you get with the family, or you get dead.

And the way they killin' 'em? Oh, no.

That is not the way I want to go.

How are they killin' 'em, Luther?

Oh, you know as well as I do.

It's a big vat of acid, man.

Who's doing it?

You ever hear of a guy named Eddie Coburn?

Yeah, we know Eddie Coburn.

So, listen, does he want to see you?

Oh, yeah. In fact, I just got word

he wants to meet at 4:00 this afternoon.

Some little plating shop down by Commerce.

So, you see,

the motivation for my vacation.

I don't wanna end up

like some of the guys that I know.

If you don't mind,

I really gotta catch this bus.

Whoa, whoa!

Hey, Luther.

Does Coburn know what you look like?

Hell, no. Keep it that way. I'm out.

So somebody don't get with the program,

what, you just stick 'em in that tub of stuff?

Stuff? Acid.

Burns 'em right down to the bone.

Mm!

Well, maybe Luther'll be takin' a little swim

if he don't see things our way, huh?

Yo, man!

Speak of the devil.

Yeah, here he is.

You Luther?

Yeah. You said be here at 4:00. It's 4:00.

Hey, I'm gonna want that back.

That cost me $350.

Swim for it.

Yeah.

All right, I'm here.

What you want?

Luther, we're your new business partners.

No, no, no, no. I work alone.

I run my own girls on my own street,

and it ain't nobody's business.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

No man is an island, Luther!

All right, all right, all right!

That's more like it. That's more like it.

I really hope they don't know what Luther looks like.

If he's not out in ten minutes,

let's go in after him.

So, you can run your little business however you want.

We won't interfere.

It's gonna cost you 15 large every week,

every Friday.

Y'all must be out your mind.

Think of it as a franchising fee

for doing business on Ferrelli turf.

Since when is Dallas Ferrelli's turf?

Since now.

All right, listen.

We got to negotiate down, 'cause 15 large...

All right!

Okay... Just have those girls of yours

work a little overtime,

and we'll see you on Friday.

This meeting is over.

Pimps.

The Ferrelli family's making the move into Dallas.

The Ferrellis...

Yeah, that's what this guy Chachi told me.

And it looks like that's just part of their plan

to take over all of north Texas.

Seems they move into town, push the other families out,

and then the rates of drugs, crime, and death skyrocket.

The problem is

there's no solid evidence against 'em.

That's because anybody

who makes a move against the Ferrellis

wind up literally dead.

So, what's our next move?

Let's find a place

they're going to take down

and get there first.

Quite a crowd you got out there, Frank.

Yeah.

I see your beautiful wife and daughter came

to see the show.

Sure hate to see anything happen to them

because you made a wrong business decision.

Don't you ever threaten my family!

Just make sure that's all that it is, Frankie boy,

is a threat.

Knock 'em dead.

Thank you.

All right!

Yeah!

Frank?

Come in.

Hey, Walker.

How you doing?

Everything okay?

Well, could've sounded better tonight.

I'm not talking about the show.

What do you mean?

Well, I saw Sonny Martone out there.

Ah, you know Sonny. Yeah.

I know of him.

I know he's connected to the Ferrelli crime family.

Well, you know, Sonny is working for me now,

kind of like a consultant.

I've been having a little trouble

with my liquor supplier.

You know, that kind of stuff,

and he took care of it for me.

I've never known Sonny

to take care of anything legally.

No... this is on the up and up. Swear.

Okay.

Good night, Frank.

Hey, see you, Walker. Good night.

Make sure and take care of that thing

I told you to take care of, all right?

I got it, Sonny.

Who's this now?

Yeah.

Huh? This is Sonny. What?

Yeah, I'll take care of it.

I said I'd take care of it.

Sonny threatened my family.

He can do what he wants with me,

but when he threatens my family...

Okay, Frank, let's start from the beginning.

How did you get involved with this Sonny Martone?

I opened this place three years ago,

put everything I had into it.

First few months were slow,

and I couldn't make my payments,

so I went to the bank and tried to get a loan.

Of course, it's too risky.

So this guy used to come in the club all the time

and hear me sing.

I didn't really know him,

but he used to come in all the time.

And again, I don't know how he knew my financial situation,

but he comes up to me, he says,

"I know some people that'll lend you the money.

Sonny Martone.

Yeah.

I didn't know it at the time...

Or I guess I didn't want to know...

But Walker, I was desperate.

I signed the agreement and I didn't look at the small print.

Now the club's doing turn-away business

and I'm still paying these guys off.

Well, last weekend

was gonna be my final payment: done.

What happened?

Sonny said they were

gonna take over the club.

I said no.

They worked me over pretty good,

and they threatened worse.

I gotta sign that contract by Saturday, Walker,

and I got nowhere else to go.

Frank, I think I can help you out,

but you've got to do exactly what I say, okay?

Deal.

All right, let's go.

All right, come on.

Get out!

Stop dragging and come on!

I got him.

Looks like they're open for business.

Let's go.

Oh.

No!

Drop him.

No, no! Aah!

Aah!

Oh, God! No!

Pull me up! Aah!

Pull me up!

Whoa...!

Oh, no! No! Up! Up!

Oh, no! No, no, no!

Oh! No, no! Help! Help!

Come on!

You okay? Get me outta here!

Yeah.

Come on, guys!

Get me outta here!

Get me out!

Keep your shirt on.

I looked over Frank's loan agreement,

the one he was about to pay off?

It's grossly unfair, but it's legal.

We can't make an extortion case based on this.

Eddie and his guys aren't talking.

We won't get anything out of them.

That figures.

They know better than anybody what happens

when you go up against the Ferrellis.

The judge said you could

put listening devices all over the club,

including on Frank.

You gonna let Frank wear a wire?

He's insisting on it.

Phew... I think that's a little dangerous.

That's why I'm putting you two undercover at the club.

To snoop around or to keep an eye on Frank?

Both. Gage, you're going to be a bartender.

Sydney, you're going to...

I know, I know... cocktail waitress.

You look so good in those little outfits, though.

I didn't ask you.

Frank...

are you sure you know what you're doing?

Sweetheart, I went over it with Walker twice already.

But if something were to happen...

Nothing's gonna happen.

We're never gonna be free of them

if we don't take a stand.

And besides, with Walker's help,

I think everything's gonna work out fine.

All right? All right, come here.

Okay.

I gotta go. Okay.

The recorder is voice-activated,

so you don't have to do anything.

Forget you got it on and act natural.

Don't try to make Sonny say anything incriminating, either.

Okay.

Frank, we're going to have

two of our best Rangers in the club undercover, okay?

Yeah. Piece of cake, right?

Yeah, right.

Afternoon, Mr. Bishop.

How you doing?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey, boss.

Frankie, who's this?

The new hirees.

We've been short a bartender and waitress for weeks.

Well, from now on, I do the hiring.

What are your names?

I'm Joey.

Donna.

Oh. Tend bar before?

Yeah, sure.

Last over at the Kit Kat.

Hmm. You know Louie?

Actually, Louie got fired before I started.

They caught him stealing from the register.

Okay, I'm a customer.

I order a Guillotine. What do you do?

I put gin, brandy,

lemon juice and sugar in a glass

and strain it over ice.

Bloody Bull.

Vodka, tomato juice,

beef bouillon with a little lime.

Hmm.

Dirty Ashtray.

I'd collect the bill

and cut you off, frankly.

I mean, nobody in their right mind

would be ordering that swill.

Listen, do I have the job?

I mean, should I go or...

Yeah, you're hired.

What about me?

You, too.

Great.

Thank you.

According to the FBI,

there are four major players in the Ferrelli crime family.

Three underbosses:

Paul Bannon, Carlos Gower and Billy Ferrelli.

One boss, Billy's older brother

Tony Ferrelli.

So where do Chachi and Satch fit in?

They run the prostitution game for the family.

Yeah, that's why the Ferrelli crime family

wants Frank's club so bad.

Because they need a cash-heavy business

to launder the money from all the illegal

operations that they're running.

We could bust Sonny for extortion.

Frank's testimony would definitely put him away.

No, I want the whole organization,

starting at the top... Tony Ferrelli.

Then a racketeering case is our best shot.

That's a tall order.

You're going to have to catch

Tony in the act.

Well, that's what we intend to do.

All right, gentlemen, let's take a little break.

So, uh, two cases Saturday night, right?

Yeah, that'll do it. Thanks.

Okay, man.

All right. See ya.

Where did you learn how to mix drinks like that?

Ah, you like that, huh?

Bartended in college for a couple years.

Well, it sure paid off.

You're not kidding.

Where are you planning on planting your bugs?

Uh, one here at the bar

and the other one in the dressing room.

Well, I'm going to plant one of mine

down on the VIP table.

I'm saving the other one for Sonny's office.

Good. Good.

Hey... looks like you're in luck.

Cover me. You got it.

Sam, Mikey!

You guys are the best liquor distributors in town, right?

So, come Saturday night,

we're going to take five percent

of every dollar you make.

Five percent?

What are you talking about?

You're killing me with this...! Hey!

You got a problem with it,

you find another county... capisce?

What are you waiting on, a bus?

Get in the car.

Five percent easy.

Come next year, we'll up the percentage to seven. Nice.

Come on.

I don't want any aggravation from these guys, all right?

If they get out of line, make sure you...

I am so sorry!

Idiot!

I am so sorry!

Oh, my jacket!

Let me clean it.

Get off of me!

I'm sorry, I apologize, really.

Al, tell Frank I want to see him.

Gee, I'm sorry.

Sonny's going to like this.

No, I got this.

I owed this lug payback.

You paid him back, all right.

With a little interest, to boot.

I mean, no pun intended.

Yeah. Got it.

Yeah!

Al said you wanted to see me.

Yeah.

Having some very important people

at the club on Saturday night.

Your bosses?

That's right.

I want to make it a celebration.

They meet you, you meet them,

we sign a contract...

then we all toast... to our new partnership.

Sonny, I want you to make me a promise

that you'll treat my people right

when you take over.

Course I will, Frank. Come on.

This is a great arrangement.

I'll take care of the business,

and you do what you do best.

Sing.

All right.

Mr. Martone! What?!

Al's parole officer just came and took him away.

What? Yep, they just came and took...

They carted him right away.

All right. Get out, get out!

All right, here you go.

Hold him here, and have a unit

pick him up and take him out

to Henderson County.

Book him for assault. You got it.

Hey! What's your name again?

Donna.

Donna, Donna.

You're very attractive, Donna.

Well, thank you very much, Mr. Martone.

No. Sonny.

Ah, you know, from where I was,

I thought you were looking at me.

Well, I would be lying if I said I wasn't.

Listen, um...

I'm gonna have some VIPs at that table tomorrow night,

and I want you

to take care of us personally, you know?

Keep the champagne flowing.

We're gonna have a big celebration. Okay.

And, uh, why don't you, uh, wear something nice?

Maybe we'll go out, do something afterwards.

Sure.

All right, then.

From the sound of it,

Sonny has a convention planned

for this Saturday.

We expect to see Tony,

all three underbosses

and some potential money-laundering candidates.

When are you handing over the marked bills?

Today at the basement.

You're still going to have

to catch them personally

in the act of committing the crime.

Otherwise, my hands are tied.

Yep.

So what we have to do... is untie your hands.

Well, well, well, it's payday.

Lucky Friday, and Friday's

always payday, right, Luther?

Come on, Luther, sit down.

Come on. Sit down.

Sounds like 15 grand to me.

Of course it is.

Luther wouldn't cheat us, would you, Luther?

Hey, if I can get away with it.

Hey, that's funny.

You know, you missed your calling.

You should've been a comedian.

Yeah, well, Eddie Murphy

talked me out of it.

He said pimping pays better.

Ohh.

He might be right, huh?

We'll see you next week, Luther.

Yeah, that's him.

Let's make a move on him, man.

Hey, you, hold up.

I think I know you.

And it's not by the name of Luther.

Boy, I don't know you.

Turn your little behind around and get back inside.

Yeah, you do!

You busted me

three years ago on a drug charge.

You're a Texas Ranger.

I'm ready.

You know, Frank, you don't have to do this.

Yeah, I do.

For me and my family.

With Sonny's bodyguard in the cooler,

we're gonna have to bust the Ferrelli organization soon.

Yeah, I know.

Welcome, gentlemen.

Hey, Carlos, how are you?

Tony.

Hail, hail, the gang's all here.

Hey, sweetheart,

a bottle of the best champagne at this table, please.

Yes, sir.

Tony, right here.

Thank you.

You got a nice place here, Sonny.

It's gonna be nice after tonight, Paulie.

Is this all right?

Yeah, that's perfect.

Thanks. Now, would you

get out of here? Thank you.

All right, folks, that's a five minute, okay?

Please? Out?

Thank you.

Get out!

So how much money do you think

we can run through this joint, anyway?

We're talking about $20,000

a night, Carlos.

I mean, that's not including tips.

Provided you don't eat all the food.

Hey, I like this guy, Tone.

I'm still waiting

to see if our boy will sign on the dotted line.

Ah, here he is now.

Hey, Frankie.

Hi, Sonny. How are you?

How are you. Listen, I want you to meet some friends of ours.

That's Mr. Paul Bannon.

That's Carlos Gower.

Billy Ferrelli.

This is Mr. Tony Ferrelli.

Hi, Mr. Ferrelli. How are you?

You're making a good choice here, Frankie.

Yeah.

Speaking of choices, what we got here...

Mr. Ferrelli, I...

I don't want to sign this contract.

You know, I mean, there's a lot of things in life

we don't want to do, Frankie.

But we got to live with it.

Or die with it.

You get that?

Die with it?

Die with it.

Now sign it.

But I was just thinking... Sign it!

All right, now we can do some business.

Hey, this calls for a celebration, right?

So far, so good.

Hey, Frank, where you going?

I gotta change for the show.

Have a drink. I really gotta go.

Hey, Frank, have a drink.

Gentlemen, to success.

Salud. Salud.

Salud.

Chachi!

Time for business.

All right, Frank, get lost.

That's them.

Let's do it.

How much?

85 grand.

Huh? And that's just from the hookers.

Wait till the other boys start rolling in.

The other guys have rolled in.

How you doing, Tony?

Texas Rangers... you're under arrest, gentlemen.

Get me out of here.

Let's go. Come on.

Ah, ah, ah!

All right, all right, you got me.

What the...?

Where you going so fast, sweetheart?

You take a good kick, Frank.

You give a good kick.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Frank Bishop.

Thank you, thank you, thank you very much.

Thank you.

Well, ladies and gentlemen,

tonight is a very special evening

for my family and I, and I'm happy

you're all here to share it with us.

So, sit back, let's have a good time.
