Manfredi, right?
- You know me?
- Now, what's stopping me
from shutting that
distillery down again?
I'm gonna make you an offer.
[DWIGHT] Dunmire, who's willing to pay
three times the amount.
Do you know something
that we don't know?
Bit of a legend in these parts.
My dad's 50-year.
Dunmire suspected it existed,
just didn't know where it was stashed.
50-year-old bourbon?
Big money.
150 million, to be exact.
[BEVILAQUA] Dunmire?
He's fucking connected, Dwight.
Dixie fucking Mafia.
It is no joke.
[WALDEN GROANING]
[MUSSO] When I call, you
need to be ready to move.
Move where?
You'll know where when
you need to know where.
So, given your intrusion, I am obligated
to destroy everyone you love.
[GRUNTING]
[DWIGHT] You're here because
you're scared.
Your empire is in danger, Dunmire.
[TWO GUNSHOTS]
I'm just getting started.

The wolves are clawing at the door

No, things are heating

But we're still in the driver's seat.
We just can't do anything
that makes us vulnerable.
Nothing.
'Cause these guys are waiting
for one fucking mistake. One.
So, my advice to you is to keep our eye
on each other, stay close.
And we got to know what
the enemy is capable of.
You have to know the enemy.
[TYSON] See, this is
just fucked up, man.
Dunmire want to take
us all out, one by one.
He took out Montague, jumped Mitch.
[BODHI] And Armand is off the grid.
No, Armand's on his way to the Rockies.
I find him, I'd like to
throw him off the Rockies.
So, what we gonna do about Dunmire, huh?
This threat can't go unanswered.
Hey, we're gonna take care of the threat

he's a monster.

No, you see, he's brilliant, this guy.

now you got deep pockets.
Not everybody runs a
successful criminal enterprise.
Hey, I was legit until
you pulled me back
- into this shit, Musso.
- Define "legit."
The point is, you got enemies
there's a lot of people want you dead
so it's not much of a stretch
that you might need Deacon's expertise.
So, I guess I won't be blowing
this asshole's brains out
and getting home early for dinner.
- That about right?
- Now you're catching on.
Speaking of which, how's Quiet Ray?

No. No, my periodontist took me
