MAN ( screaming):
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.
( screaming): No, Eddie! No!
( rapid, fierce bubbling)
MAN: All right!
( big band music playing)
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...

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.
( all laughing)
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.
WALKER: Well, lets make a toast
to many more terrific years.
FRANK: 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.

( siren whoops)
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.
( sighing): 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.
SONNY: 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.
( chuckles)
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.
( chuckles)
Hey, I don't get worried, Sonny.
I get, uh... results.
Huh? ( chuckles)
ELLEN: 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.
( sighing)
( knocking at door)
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.
MAN ( over P.A.): 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.
( acid bath bubbling)
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.

WALKER: 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.
( relieved sigh)
Make sure and take
care of that thing
I told you to take
care of, all right?
I got it, Sonny.
( cell phone rings)
Who's this now?
Yeah.
Huh? This is Sonny. What?
Yeah, I'll take care of it.
SONNY: 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.
( sighs)
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.
( grunts): Oh.
No!
Drop him.
No, no! Aah!
( screams): Aah!
Oh, God! No!
Pull me up! Aah!
Pull me up!
( yells)
( yells) Whoa...!
Oh, no! No! Up! Up!
( yelling)
( screams): Oh, no! No, no, no!
( screaming)
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.
ALEX: 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.
TRIVETTE: 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.
( chuckles)
Listen, do I have the job?
I mean, should I go or...
Yeah, you're hired.
What about me?
You, too.
Great.
BOTH: Thank you.
WALKER: 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.
( band playing swing music)
( song ends)
BANDLEADER: 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.
MAN: 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.
( doors shutting)
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...
( yelling and glass breaking)
I am so sorry!
Idiot!
I am so sorry!
MARTONE: Oh, my jacket!
GAGE: Let me clean it.
MARTONE: Get off of me!
GAGE: I'm sorry,
I apologize, really.
Al, tell Frank I
want to see him.
Gee, I'm sorry.
Sonny's going to like this.
( choking)
( grunting)
No, I got this.
( grunting)
( Al groaning)
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.
( both panting)
( knock at door) 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!
( door shuts)
SYDNEY: 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.
TRIVETTE: 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.
( sighing)
When are you handing
over the marked bills?
Today at the basement.
CAHILL: 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.
CHACHI: 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.
( glass shatters)
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.
FRANK: 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.
( chuckles)
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!
TONY ( over wire): All right,
now we can do some business.
SONNY: 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.
SONNY: 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.
( band finishes
song with a flourish)
( applause, cheering)
Ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. Frank Bishop.
( cheering and applause)
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.

have a boy or a girl?
We're gonna be surprised.
Well, you got
here right on time.

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.
( all laughing)
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.
WALKER: Well, lets make a toast
to many more terrific years.
FRANK: 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.

( siren whoops)
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.
( sighing): 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.
SONNY: 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.
( chuckles)
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.
( chuckles)
Hey, I don't get worried, Sonny.
I get, uh... results.
Huh? ( chuckles)
ELLEN: 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.
( sighing)
( knocking at door)
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.
MAN ( over P.A.): 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.
( acid bath bubbling)
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.

WALKER: 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.
( relieved sigh)
Make sure and take
care of that thing
I told you to take
care of, all right?
I got it, Sonny.
( cell phone rings)
Who's this now?
Yeah.
Huh? This is Sonny. What?
Yeah, I'll take care of it.
SONNY: 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.
( sighs)
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.
( grunts): Oh.
No!
Drop him.
No, no! Aah!
( screams): Aah!
Oh, God! No!
Pull me up! Aah!
Pull me up!
( yells)
( yells) Whoa...!
Oh, no! No! Up! Up!
( yelling)
( screams): Oh, no! No, no, no!
( screaming)
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.
ALEX: 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.
TRIVETTE: 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.
( chuckles)
Listen, do I have the job?
I mean, should I go or...
Yeah, you're hired.
What about me?
You, too.
Great.
BOTH: Thank you.
WALKER: 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.
( band playing swing music)
( song ends)
BANDLEADER: 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.
MAN: 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.
( doors shutting)
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...
( yelling and glass breaking)
I am so sorry!
Idiot!
I am so sorry!
MARTONE: Oh, my jacket!
GAGE: Let me clean it.
MARTONE: Get off of me!
GAGE: I'm sorry,
I apologize, really.
Al, tell Frank I
want to see him.
Gee, I'm sorry.
Sonny's going to like this.
( choking)
( grunting)
No, I got this.
( grunting)
( Al groaning)
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.
( both panting)
( knock at door) 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!
( door shuts)
SYDNEY: 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.
TRIVETTE: 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.
( sighing)
When are you handing
over the marked bills?
Today at the basement.
CAHILL: 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.
CHACHI: 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.
( glass shatters)
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.
FRANK: 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.
( chuckles)
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!
TONY ( over wire): All right,
now we can do some business.
SONNY: 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.
SONNY: 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.
( band finishes
song with a flourish)
( applause, cheering)
Ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. Frank Bishop.
( cheering and applause)
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.
