He was afraid you'd flip.

25 years, come on!

Nobody does that kind of time.

I did.

[liquid sloshing]

Got sugar?

No, we have, uh--

what do you call it-- Agave.

What the fuck's that?

You work for me now, understand?

Go out there

and make some money.

This is our territory.

Who gave you permission to sell?

Black Macadam.

MITCH: Local biker gang.

-They anything?

-Well, they ain't nothing.

-DWIGHT: Jo, it's me.

I heard you called Tina.

Radio silence for 25 years...

-Why now?

-I don't know.

JOANNE: He's dying, Dwight.

Our brother Joe is dying.

Come here.

-It's all right.

-[Joanne sobbing]

It's okay.

[Joanne sniffles]

Let me look at you. [chuckles]

-DWIGHT: Let me look at you.

-[laughs] You look great.

DWIGHT:

So do you. So do you.

How was your flight?

-It's good. It's good.

-JOANNE: Yeah?

Tina here?

Yeah.

Why don't we go see

your brother first, though,

before we start

the whole imbroglio.

-Okay.

-JOANNE: Yeah.

-Just anxious.

-JOANNE: I know.

I don't think

she's ready.

Hey Joe, look who's here.

-My condolences, Denise.

-Oh, he loved you, Dwight.

I loved him, too.

He was a great guy.

DENISE:

Yeah. It's just so sad.

The two of you didn't speak

for so many years

and-- and now this.

I'm sorry.

Twenty years

in a token booth...

and for what?

Goes fast.

Well, it goes slow, too.

Wanna say a prayer?

I already did.

JOANNE:

I'm gonna go smoke.

I'm gonna

catch up with you.

[Dwight sighs]

DENISE: Thanks for coming.

[door clicks]

Your daughter's

a wonderful woman.

Got a degree in horticulture,

owns her own business.

DWIGHT:

Hmm.

This husband,

Emory, he's okay?

He's a nice guy.

He adores her.

He's in, uh, finance

or something.

Is he taking

care of her?

Their condo is bigger than

the house we grew up in.

Tell me about

my grandchildren.

They're great. [laughs]

They're adorable. Twins.

-Come on. Seriously?

-JOANNE: Yeah.

Cody and Ryan.

They're five,

uh, maybe six.

[sighs] They know about me?

You know what?

I don't wanna do this anymore.

-I don't. I--

-I don't wanna do it either.

[Dwight exhales]

-I gotta go back inside.

-Yeah, I gotta go too.

[siren in distance]

You're coming

to the mass tomorrow?

I'd like to say

something at the mass.

No, I don't think

that's a good idea.

[footsteps receding]

PIKE: Hell of a hiccup

over at the festival.

Territorial dispute.

A couple of boys

had their inventory took.

I'm talking nitrous oxide.

You two follow?

-A lot of money.

-Yeah.

We cannot have that.

As you can imagine,

I'm getting some pressure

from the top dog...

to respond,

if you will.

rapidly and resoundingly.

-What do you want from us?

-Did you hear what I just said?

The big man's

not happy.

He'd like

your attention on this.

Pronto.

License plate number.

One of the guys

we're looking for.

[suspenseful music playing]

[phone ringing]

Yeah.

I gotta hear

from strangers you're back.

What's going on?

You know, it looks bad

you sneak into town

and I'm not aware.

My brother died, but you

probably already heard that.

This is family.

-You understand?

-It's my brother.

PETE:

"Token Joe," buonanima.

-But my dad...

-What about him?

Just get your ass to New York

Memorial in the morning.

It's my brother's funeral.

I have obligations.

Remember your first

and highest obligation.

My father

was a brother to you too.

Don't you fucking

forget that.

CHARICE: Woodvale Salon.

This is Charice.

Hi. Yes.

My-- my name is Tyson Mitchell.

And I'm-- I'm with

the Acme Big Booty Service.

CHARICE: Oh, my God.

He returns.

[laughs] What's going on,

baby girl? You good?

CHARICE: Better now.

Where the hell have you been?

Ripping and running busy,

you know?

Hey, I got

my own place now, so,

you know, I'm grounded.

[chuckles]

-[police siren]

-Shit!

-[police siren]

-[Tyson sighs]

Here we go

with this shit, man.

Hey, hey. Lemme--

lemme call you back, all right?

[car doors slam shut]

Your license and registration.

Hands where I can see 'em.

Registration is in the glove.

Who's this Dwight Manfredi?

-He's my boss.

-Oh, yeah?

Why don't you step

outta the car for me?

No, you're not under arrest,

but for my protection,

I am gonna cuff you

and give you a good toss.

-You wearing a body camera?

-Why? You wanna be a movie star?

-Some bullshit, man.

-WEATHERWAX: Duly noted.

[Tyson grunts]

-Have a seat.

-[Tyson grunts]

Damn!

You can't search my car

without a warrant.

-Oh yeah? Who says?

-The constitution.

Ah, look what I found.

Now, this smells

suspiciously like marijuana.

Come on, man.

That's not even mine.

This car ain't even mine.

I told you that.

So you're saying

you stole this vehicle?

[phone calling tone]

DWIGHT:

This is Dwight. Leave a message.

AUTOMATED VOICE:

The mailbox is full

and cannot accept

any messages at this time.

Hey, I'm gonna need

another call, man.

Well, I need a foot massage

and it looks like

we're both outta luck.

[slams phone]

COP: Close group one.

[gate clanks shut]

[harmonious instrumental plays]

Couple bottles of Sassicaia 94.

-Pinot Grigio.

Whatever anybody else wants.

-Yes, sir.

-Just take care of them.

Keep it coming.

-Thank you, sir.

Ah, it's good to be home.

Of course,

not under these circumstances.

[sighs]

I'm sorry, I don't remember

half the people.

Who's everybody here? [laughs]

-This Stella. Selena.

-My daughter.

-That's Stella?

-STELLA: Yeah.

JOANNE: There's Ethan,

Stella's husband, right?

-It's nice to meet you, Ethan.

-JOANNE: You know Joe Junior?

-You I know. Of course, you look

exactly like your old man.

-Thank you.

-DWIGHT: That's a good thing.

-Yeah. Thanks.

Emory, we haven't been

formally introduced.

Well, I'm Emory.

I'm Tina's husband.

Ah, we talked

on the phone. [chuckles]

That's right,

we spoke briefly.

There was a phone

where I was too, you know?

-I-- I don't follow.

-Well, I'm just saying

you could have called

and sought my blessing,

before you married my daughter.

-The balls on you. Wow!

-I'm old school. I'm sorry.

Yeah, you were also indisposed,

remember?

-But very easy to find.

-Okay.

So you wanted this man

to endure a cavity search

just to secure

your blessing?

You're the one

who stopped calling us.

My apologies, Emory.

-Everybody hungry?

-WALTER: I don't know.

What was wrong with Bamonte's,

we had to drive

-all the way to the city?

-Stop with Bamonte's.

-Nobody eats at Bamonte's.

-Walter, this is four star.

-Broaden your horizons.

-It's very nice, Uncle Dwight.

-Joey would've loved it.

-STELLA: Thank you. Yeah.

-Thank you.

-TINA: Really,

foie gras ravioli?

I mean, come on.

Uncle Joey is rolling

-in his freshly dug grave,

right now.

-Oh, Tina!

Am I wrong? Okay.

This isn't about

what Uncle Joey would like.

This isn't even about

what we would like.

It's about what makes Dwight

look like a big shot.

It's a nice place.

That's all. It's a gesture.

Big splash, right,

with the massive

spray of flowers

and your big fat busta.

JOE JR:

Not for nothing, Unc, but...

you settled the tab with Mikey C

at Supreme Memorials?

We appreciate it,

but nobody asked you to do that.

Denise,

you didn't have to ask.

JOANNE: All right.

So he was just trying to help.

TINA: Right.

Because whenever I needed help,

first person I thought of,

was my dad.

-[crockery and cutlery clinking]

-A toast...

to Joe.

May he rest in peace.

And to...

wiping out the past...

and everybody

just enjoying

the here and now,

while we can.

Salut.

ALL: Salut.

-My deepest condolences, auntie.

I love you.

-JOANNE: Tina.

It's okay-- you guys

enjoy dinner, okay?

-I'll call you tomorrow.

Come on. Good night, uncle.

-WALTER: Good night, sweetheart.

[farm din]

[horse whinnies]

-So, what did you like

at Remington?

-MAN: Nothing.

Get that horse

cooled down, Richie.

Hey there. Heard you've been

moonlighting as a tough guy.

MANNY:

What?

Tussle at the festival?

Seminoles, Seniors and stoners.

Quite a gang you run with.

-MANNY: You a fucking smartass?

-Easy, jefe!

Just a word to the wise.

[horse whinnies]

-Goodie, come on.

Fucking go already, would you?

-Relax.

Quit your hemming and hawing.

We know you ain't got shit.

-Hey, what you don't know

could fill a book.

-Too bad he couldn't read it.

-I'll give youse all

a fucking schiaff'.

-LINDA: Language.

-GOODIE: All right, go ahead.

-The General approaches.

Hey, Jerry.

-Nico, Goodie. Ladies, hi.

-Dwight.

-Dwight, how are you doing?

-Good. How are you doing, Nico?

-In town long?

-In and out, why?

-[Celia sneezes]

-Here we go. That's two.

[clears throat] Do I hear four?

-Got a tissue?

-Let me be of service.

-CELIA: Thank you.

-You're welcome.

Now, that's a gentleman.

-Oh, here we go.

-Come on, what are you

trying to do, show me up?

-I show you up by showing up.

-Oh, yeah, that's right.

-Hey, hey. Even in

the fucking hospital?

-CELIA: Vince, come on.

-Talk to him.

-It's over.

-CELIA: Vince.

-Let's go.

-Chickie, thank you.

-You know, you ought to be

a lifeguard, Nico.

All right. Go ahead. I'll take

more of your fucking money.

-Vince, sit down.

-You know, I learned the word

in the military.

Deference.

It means respect.

Military.

You talking

about Dickinson Academy?

-Yeah.

-It's a military school.

I was a ranked cadet.

A pair of epaulets doesn't

make you George Washington.

You know that, right?

I'm gonna talk

to your old man.

He's asleep.

And the next time I call,

you come right away.

You ought to get

a cocker spaniel,

they come every time.

Sir. Excuse me, sir.

I need to go

to that bathroom, right now.

-It's urgent. I need to go.

-Who's stopping you?

Ain't nobody stopping me,

where I'm supposed to go?

Officer, please,

I have to go right now,

for real.

-This your phone?

-Yeah, it's my phone.

-What's your password?

-Come on now--

Don't make me beg you,

officer.

[sighs]

051944.

Bingo.

Show the man the head.

COP:

[drums on desk] My pleasure.

[phone ringing]

So what do I owe

the pleasure?

Just wanted to hear

a friendly voice.

You wanna meet

for coffee or something?

DWIGHT:

I can't. I'm in New York.

You just booked it

outta here,

after your run in

at the music festival?

-I saw my daughter.

-STACY: How'd that go?

-DWIGHT: It didn't.

She really wouldn't let me talk.

-I'm sorry.

DWIGHT: I'd be lying

if I said I was surprised.

It's been 18 years.

Just keep trying.

She'll come around.

-You think so?

-The fuck do I know.

[laughs]

Oh, God.

Listen,

these nitrous guys,

there's more to them

than meets the eye, okay?

-Such as?

-Not over the phone.

[phone vibrates]

-Listen, uh--

-[phone vibrates]

I gotta take

this phone call.

I'll call you

when I get back, okay?

-Yeah, safe travels.

-[phone beeps]

Tyson.

Hello?

Tyson, are you there?

[ominous music plays]

Bag him.

Mitchell.

Tyson Mitchell.

-TYSON: That's me.

-It's check-out time.

-Enjoy your stay?

-Shit, man, weak as hell.

I'll make a note,

and next time,

we'll upgrade you

to less comfortable

accommodations.

There will be

no next time, man.

-Where my car at?

-Impound on King Street.

And my phone too, man.

Quit playing with me.

It says here

you don't have no phone.

No money, either.

Whoa, I came here

with $1,200.

If I were you,

I'd write your congressman.

TOKEN JOE:

You've reached

the Manfredi residence.

-Please leave a message.

-[beep]

DWIGHT:

Hey, Denise, it's Dwight.

It's really nice

hearing my brother's voice

on the machine.

There were some things

I wanted to say--

should have said--

at the church,

but I'd like

to say them now, so...

I wrote something down.

Here it goes.

***

"Little brother,

you were a giant.

A big man who did

the little things,

the things

that really matter.

The sympathetic ear.

The helping hand.

The heart of gold.

The voice of reason.

Steady as a rock...

you were always there.

Not only

for your family, but...

to do the job

you loved.

I'm not sure

why you loved it...

but you did.

Guys like Joe are a rare

and precious find.

Generous to a fault.

Going long,

where others fall short.

Made of mercy and malice.

Full of force and foibles.

They don't drop names,

they pick up the slack.

They don't raise

their voices,

they lower the temperature.

They don't hold grudges.

They unlock potential.

They don't show off...

they show up."

[music fades]

-Hey!

-Manny.

So, what the fuck

were you talking about

the other day?

You wanna pretend

like that wasn't you

-at Ogallala-land?

-No, it was me.

I'm just asking you,

like, what did you mean

by word to the wise?

Ever heard of Black Macadam?

No, what is that?

A band?

Not hardly.

Motorcycle gang.

One percenters.

My old man's sergeant at arms.

Yeah?

Kinda like leader of the pack?

Yeah. [chuckles]

Keep laughing.

They run

the nitrous game out here,

and they're not to be

fucked with.

Meaning what?

Meaning they'll kill anyone

that gets in their way.

Huh, you know,

it's funny,

I've actually met

people like that before.

ROXY:

Why don't you Google 'em,

and then let me know

how funny you think it is.

[eerie instrumental playing]

[heavy breathing]

Tyson Mitchell,

tell me about him.

I barely know him.

I barely know him.

And yet your name

is in the frequent contacts

of his cell phone?

I do business with his boss,

Dwight Manfredi.

And he is?

The bane

of my fucking existence.

I take it that Senor Manfredi

is the older gentleman.

Yeah.

And what is the nature

of your business together?

I believe

the term is "extortion."

You extort people?

He's extorting me.

What do you have

that he wants?

What does everybody want?

Dosh.

Well, his mistake.

Senor Manfredi, I mean,

is trying to take mine.

I'd be happy

to relay that message to him.

[laughs] And you will.

But not quite yet.

TINA:

Sorry, we're closed.

I could use some roses.

What are you doing here?

Just wanted to talk.

Look, Tina,

I know you hate me, okay?

I don't hate you, Dwight.

I feel bad for you.

You have to call me

by my first name?

It's either that,

or Mr. Manfredi.

"Dad" ship kinda left port

years ago.

Dwight it is.

And I will admit, Dwight,

there is something inside me.

Little flickering ember

of love for you.

But something

just tells me

to stomp it out

once and for all.

Hope you don't do that.

You're a bad bet.

How's that?

Because

you haven't learned anything.

Oh, you'd be surprised.

-I've learned a lot.

-Oh, really?

Mmm.

Then what in God's name

are you doing in Oklahoma?

It's a little late in the game

for me to find a new trade.

Let's just

end this now, Dwight.

I wanna get home

to my kids.

Can I see them, please?

Tina,

is there any way for us

just to--

to move past this?

We definitely

can't go back now, can we?

You know,

the day after Christmas

was always such a relief.

And that went

for every holiday,

every milestone.

You learn to dread

what should be happy times,

and your life

becomes topsy-turvy.

I don't wanna talk about this.

Let's talk about Uncle Joe.

-May he rest in peace.

-Yeah.

Would you have preferred

if it was me?

No.

But Uncle Joey...

he was parked

outside my senior prom

at the El Caribe.

Pounding Michelobs

for three hours

just to keep

an eye on my date.

Ma gave me her pearls.

And Aunt Joanne got

Anna B from the Style Inn

to do my hair

and makeup.

You...

left us nothing.

Nothing.

Burdens...

-obligations that wait.

-I know.

And when you went away,

Ma didn't have so much

as a checking account.

Nico "The Package" Bugliosi

was the only one

who'd come check in on us

from time to time.

-Do you remember The Package?

-Yeah.

I just saw him

at the hospital.

Well, let's just say

one Tuesday night,

while Ma was working a double

I learned the hard way

why he's called--

Why he's called what?

Nothing.

No, it's not. No.

Wait a minute.

I-- it's not nothing.

Stop.

Called what?

-"The Package"? Is that--

-Forget it.

No, I'm not--

what are you trying to tell me?

I don't wanna talk

about it.

I don't even wanna

think about it, okay?

No, please.

I'm-- I'm begging you.

-TINA: No. No. Just--

-Tell me what happened.

He did nothing.

Just forget it. Okay?

-DWIGHT: I can't forget it.

-No, please. Just--

Please, Tina.

Please, I'm begging.

-TINA: No.

-Just tell me.

I'm asking you.

Promise me

you won't do anything.

[breathing heavily]

Thank you.

[pensive music playing]

[elevator dings]

[ominous tense music playing]

[machines beeping]

[TV show playing

[knocking on door]

They finally got here.

-Hey.

-DWIGHT: How you doing?

What a sight for sore eyes.

I'm, uh... [chuckles]

...hanging in there.

That's good.

Where's everybody?

Chickie, Nico...

They took off, to the club.

Mm.

How you doing?

You good?

Mm-hmm.

I'm very good.

I brought you this

from my brother's wake.

I'm sorry abut that happening.

I'm sure you would've been

there if you could.

You kidding me?

Of course.

I was thinking

the other day, Pete,

that when I was

in the joint,

I used to think

about the good old days

and friends, family.

Good times.

When you finally get out,

you look around...

you realize

the good old days...

were not really that good.

Yeah. It's an adjustment.

Sure.

It's an adjustment.

Because now I realize

what I missed.

Seeing my daughter

grow up...

become a woman...

get married.

And she did all that

without me protecting her.

And that kills me.

'Cause that's what

a good father does.

Protects the ones

they're responsible for.

The ones they love.

And then there's...

you.

You swore...

on the soul

of your mother,

you'd watch out

for my wife, my kid.

You swore that.

And then this Nico...

Did you know?

Know what?

What the fuck

are you talking about?

I'm not following you.

[Pete grunts]

[tense ominous music playing]

Did...

you...

fucking...

know?

[machines beeping]

You didn't.

[inhales deeply]

Know what?

Know what?

[sizzling]

GOODIE:

Raging Bull...

Then he says, "I dunno whether

to fuck him or fight him!"

-Whose deal is it?

-Vince.

-I just fucking dealt.

-You just dealt?

VINCE:

Yo! What are you doing here?

-[grunting]

-Get the door.

-[glass shatters]

-[Nico screams]

My fucking daughter?

-Dwight!

-[Nico screams]

CHICKIE: Come on!

[sizzling]

[Nico screams in pain]

[glass shatters]

CHICKIE:

Enough already! You're gonna

fucking kill him!

My daughter.

My fucking daughter.
