You don't sell here.
This dance club belongs to me.
[TYSON] Ecstasy, motherfucker.
Where is it?
[TYSON] Fuck me.
Goodie!
[PROPULSIVE MUSIC]
- Let's go, people.
- [DWIGHT] You owe the house
a hundred large.
I've got your back, if you've got mine.
[BODHI] Is this what I think it is?
Uh, you know wine?
The best vintage from Piedmont.
What the fuck is going on?
Bradley Van Heusen reached out.
The AI data farm again?
Happy to take that meeting for you.
This is Lieutenant Governor
Amanda Clark.
- How you doing?
- Forgive me,
but I took an oath to uphold
the laws of this state.
You want me to see which way
the wind's blowing.
If it's not blowing
in Thresher's direction,
we need to change the weather.
I'd like to bring you
into my administration.
You don't need to get involved in this.
Aren't I already involved?
And although Dwight Manfredi
might be bulletproof,
I assure you, Margaret, we are not.
[JOANNE] The plane that Margaret
and Thresher were on
went down somewhere over the Pacific.

We are gathered here today
because of a tragic loss of life.
Governor Cal Thresher,
two members of his staff
and the flight crew
will forever be remembered
in the hearts and minds
of not only their loved ones,
but in the hearts and minds
of the Oklahomans
that they so briefly and ably served.
In an effort to continue their mission,
I would like to now make clear
that the culture of complicity
in this statehouse ends with me.
[APPLAUSE]
God bless you all,
and God bless
the great state of Oklahoma.
[MUSSO] I'm sincerely sorry
for your loss, Dwight.
And lessons to learn ♪
Heaven, hell
and everything in between ♪
I want to know exactly what happened.
Yeah, they don't know exactly.
Investigations of this nature take time.
Obviously, with a United States
governor on board,
this is gonna go all the way up
the chain of command.
The governor is not my concern.
I understand.
This is from my guy at the FAA.
"Approximately 3:14 a.m. local time,
Honolulu Center lost contact
with the aircraft.
Disappeared from radar
about 320 nautical miles
northeast of Maui.
No distress call was received."
Last recorded position places it
over open water in the North Pacific.
Was there any wreckage?
Not as of yet, but both the Coast Guard
and the Navy deployed multiple assets.
- [SLOW, SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
- How long is this gonna take?
The search grid's
over 5,000 square miles.
They got high seas, limited visibility.
Whose fault is this?
It's too early to speculate if
it's anybody's fault.
Really?
Planes just fall out of the sky
for no fucking reason?

[CHURCH BELLS RINGING]
Governor, Bradley Van Heusen is here.
Send him in.
Congratulations, Governor.
You must be on cloud nine.
Well, a fatal plane crash wasn't exactly
how I envisioned my ascension
to the governorship.
Forgive me. That was callous.
You can wait outside.
Look, I don't waste time,
and you don't have that luxury, either.
I'm ready to take Echelon
Harvest to the next level,
but as you know,
AI data farming is tricky.
So I'll need statewide
fast-tracking. That means
permits, safety waivers,
tax incentives, zoning.
I haven't even unpacked yet.
Great, 'cause day one is
when it's easiest.
You're untouchable right now.
What does that mean?
It means no one's focusing
on the fine print.
Hmm. You are nothing
if not subtle, Mr. Van Heusen.
You weren't worried about subtlety
when I was lining
your campaign's war chest.
- [SLOW, SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
- I'm sorry.
Did I not thank you for your support?
Look, Amanda,
you're smart enough to know
I don't fund lost causes.
If you want that infrastructure
project you promised,
the digital literacy programs,
you'll need a friend like me.
I did not go into politics to be owned.
Oh, no one's talking about ownership.
Just partnership.
I'll review your proposal.
And everything thereafter
will be done by the book.
Fair enough.
[TYSON] It's crazy, man.
It's like, you wake up one morning,
going about your business and then,
boom, it's over with, you're dead.
Is there anything we can do?
Oh, honestly,
I'd just give him some space.
It's gonna take time for him to process.
It's a shock to the system.

[DOOR CLOSES]
Dwight? What are you doing here?
Going to work, like everybody.
Yeah, that's not what I meant.
Jesus, buddy, how you doing?
I'm real sorry
about what happened, boss.
Yeah, she was a great lady.
- I'm so sorry, Dwight.
- [DWIGHT] Thank you.
It's a tragedy.
But bad things happen
to a lot of people every day.
Can't change that, right?
So you move on.
Ye Uh, yeah.
But you can also take
some time to feel
[DWIGHT] What's the point, Bodhi?
I got things to do,
you got things to do.
Why are you even here?
Fair enough.
Just being supportive.
Listen, thanks.
Everybody get back to work.
[SLOW, MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]
What the fuck are you doing here?
I was sent here.
By Quiet Ray?
He told Dwight somebody was coming.
An emissary, Ray said.
He didn't say anything about you.
Well, here I am.
What do you want me to say?
- Now take me to Dwight.
- Look,
it's not a good time.
His girlfriend was killed
in that plane crash last night.
What plane crash?
With the governor.
It's been all over the news.
I don't look at the news.
Wait here.
[SIGHS]
I need to talk to you.
We have a, uh, visitor.
- [DWIGHT] What's he doing here?
- Ray sent him
to look after his share of the bourbon.
What do you want me to do?
Take him to the distillery, please.
Get him out of my sight.

What are you talking about?
Vince Antonacci.
What about him?
Of all the men,
you couldn't find anyone better
to send?
I sent Vince out there because
he's already been to Tulsa.
He was in Tulsa trying to kill me.
Would you rather I sent Turco?
Why did you hire that psycho?
Are you trying to send a message, Ray?
What, you don't like him?
He's a good guy.
He's the Grim fucking Reaper.
Look, you're getting
too emotional about this.
This is all business,
and Vince is out there
representing my end
of the business.

He told me about your girl.
I'm sorry.

[BEVILAQUA] That's good.
[JOANNE] Nearly 2,500 cases.
And how long before it hits the shelves?
Well, it goes from here
to the regional distributors
and then on to the stores from there,
so, three weeks before
it's available to the public?
Now the important question. [EXHALES]
When do I get my cut?
You can take that up with Dwight.
Oh, look what the wind blew in.
Bill, what are you doing here?
Same as you.
Looking out for my interest.
Vince, this is Dwight's sister Joanne.
She runs the place.
Nice to meet you.
[GOODIE] Vince is here from New York.
Yes, Dwight told me to expect you.
[LIGHTHEARTED, PLAYFUL MUSIC]
[CHUCKLES] I'm assuming you want a tour?
- Why not?
- Okay.
This is the heart of the operation.
This is where we mill our grains,
then cook them in hot water.
Add some yeast,
then you got fermentation.
Think of it like beer, but stronger.
And destined for greatness.
And then you distill it?
Exactly.
Over here.
Alcohol boils at a lower temperature
than water, so it rises first.
You capture that vapor, cool it,
and bam, you got whiskey.
But not all of it is drinkable.
Oh, I've had a lot of that shit.
[JOANNE] When it runs off
the still, the first part
is called the "heads."
Just too sharp, lots of impurities.
The last part is called
the "tails" too heavy.
Tastes like turpentine.
[JOANNE] What we keep is the "heart."
Pure balanced spirit.
What we're after is flavor

- alcohol content and purity.
Nothing gets barreled
until it passes inspection.

[BODHI] I mean, he's basically running
a counterfeit wine factory.
He mixes up cheap wine and then
sells it for $3,200 a bottle.
Huh. But it's so good.
Mm-hmm. Guy has a good palate.
- Hey.
- Hey, Spence.
I just got a call from Diego,
the ranch manager at Fennario.
He needs to get
into Margaret's computer.
- Uh, pour quoi? Why?
- The feed.
They won't deliver
without proof of payment.
Margaret was gonna email them
from Mariana.
Sounds like a job for Dwight.
It's password protected.
He said to ask you.
She's saying she needs a nerd.
Is she saying that,
or are you saying that?
Am I the only nerd that you know?
You're the nerdiest nerd I know.
Now that, she's saying as a compliment.
Stop interpreting.
I'll do it, but I'm not driving.
Teamwork.
- No.
- They want us gone.
- [CROWD] No!
- But we will not vanish.
[MAN] Hell, no!
We will rise up, stronger than ever!
[CROWD] Yeah!

- We will tear down
every rotten stone

- That's right.
You thinking what I'm thinking?

This land is ours,
and we will take it back
no matter the cost!
- One.

If it is war they want,
then war they'll get!

So, we take him out back,
and the guy has duct tape

Wait, wait, wait. So,
dude came to the strip club
with duct tape
on the soles of his shoes?
Yes. [LAUGHING] So he could

thinking no one would notice.
Now that's some

The receipt for the feed.
Got it.
I'm gonna print it out for Diego now.

Do you think you could run this joint?
Excuse me?
The ranch.
See, her lawyer called and said
that she left it to me in her will.
She loved it, and she liked you a lot.
[PRINTER WHIRRING]
Sure.

Thank you.

Good kid.
[SIGHS] Oh, man.
This place brings back so many memories.
[ROOSTER CROWING]
[BODHI] Uh, question.
What's the deal with the rooster
that crows at night?
[DWIGHT CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Yeah, it was one of her strays.
He never shuts up.
He's blind, so he has no idea
what time it is.
Are you ever gonna say it?
What?
"Margaret."
You haven't said her name once.
Don't.
Okay.
If you ever do want to talk about it
No. I don't.
What's the point of talking
about something
that's, like, the worst thing
[VOICE BREAKS]
that ever happened in your life?
Yeah, you're holding onto it
like a time bomb.
If you don't release it,
it will explode.
Releasing it won't bring her back.
But it will keep you here.
Right now, you're numb,
just going through the motions.
Hmm. That's survival.
- That's surrender.
- Don't tell me
how to act, Bodhi, please. You d
You didn't love her.
You don't know
what I feel inside, Bodhi.
You have no idea.
None.
All due respect, Dwight?
You have no fucking clue what I know.
Unfortunately,
this is a pain that I do know.
Before I ever met you, I
[SIGHS] I was married
to an incredible
We had a little girl.
And they both
[DWIGHT] Mm.
They both died in a car accident.
Oh.
Jesus
Christ.
I'm sorry. [SIGHS]
I was in denial.
Refused to grieve,
angry at the world.
Just like that blind rooster
that screams into the darkness.
Until I realized
that if I didn't let it out,
that grief would kill me.
[DWIGHT SIGHS]
My whole life
I've been strong
for other people, Bodhi.
I spent 25 years here
keeping it in.
Now?
I don't know how
to let it out.
I don't.
You just
face it.
Head-on.
Let the feelings come
when you're ready.

Dwight doesn't hear anything about this.
On one condition.
Get me some more of that bourbon.

[NEWS PROGRAM INTRO MUSIC PLAYING]
Tragedy was averted this evening
at the Kitty Kat Klub
in downtown Tulsa,
where police say
that more than 40 people
had a serious reaction
to what may have been
tainted ecstasy.
The pills in question were all
laced with a heavy sedative,
and all seem to have come
from the same supplier.
[NEWSWOMAN]
Police have identified
this club patron
as a person of interest
Authorities are asking
for the public's help.
That's him.
If you've seen this man
or know who he is
Then he better hope the coppers
find him before I do.

Anyway, I just wanted

nearly enough, but
I love you, Dwight.
I do.
Thank you[LAUGHS]
