Eddie, don't do this!

Eddie! All right!

All right, Eddie!

You can have everything! Everything I have!

Sorry, Ali.

I gotta make an example out of you, just like the other two. 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 should have joined the Farrellis when you had a chance. No, Eddie, don't

this! Please!

Stop, Mal. No, Eddie!

Hello,

Bill, Mary, Walker, Alan.

Nice to see the Deputy Mayor gets out every once in a while.

I'm glad you could make it. I'm 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 going to have a boy or a girl?

We're going to be surprised.

You got here right on time. Frank is just coming on.

Ladies and gentlemen, Frank Bishop.

Saturday night is the loveliest night of the week.

Cause that's the night when my baby and I used to dance cheek to cheek.

I don't mind Sunday night at all.

That's the night friends come to call.

And Monday to Sunday go fast.

And another week has passed.

Because Saturday night is the loneliest night of the week.

I sing the songs that I sang to the memories I usually see.

And when I hear you at the door, when you're in my arms once more,

yeah, Saturday night is the loveliest night of the week.

Yeah, Saturday night is the loveliest night of the week.

I sing the songs that I sang to the members I usually see.

Until I hear you at the door.

Until you're in my arms once more.

Thank you and welcome to Crank Spot.

Sit back and have a good time.

Walker. Hey, Frank. How you doing, buddy? Good. You were great, Dad.

Thanks, sweetie.

Hey, baby.

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, let's make a toast to many more terrific years.

Down the hatch.

After I pay Sonny off, it's going to 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.

So I say when you get home, we celebrate.

What do you got in mind?

That's a secret.

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

Hey, golden boys.

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,

um, working relationship.

Well, that's too bad. That's the last payment.

You're not listening so good, Frankie boy.

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 contract.

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 them we don't take no for an answer, Al.

Now, you listen up.

My people want this place.

And come Saturday, you either sign that contract or you ain't gonna have any

voice box to sing with.

In the meantime, come on, take your office.

Come on In

the

eyes of a ranger

The unsuspecting stranger had better know the truth of wrong from right.

Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you.

Any wrong you do, he's gonna see.

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

Cause that's where the ranger's gonna be.

What have you got, Sergeant?

Looks like somebody dumped this poor slob into a vat full of acid.

You know who it is?

Yeah, a small -town bookie. Old Meadow.

I heard this mess some cases you're working on, so I figured you'd want to

it out.

Okay. Thanks, Sergeant.

Third guy this month to take an acid bath.

You know, Trevette, this is something the mob would do to send a message.

Right.

Get Sidney engaged, check the streets, see if there's any movement from

organized crime.

Okay.

See? Here's what I'm talking about.

This is power.

Huh?

Takes Frank's junk and throw it in his dressing room.

Take it in a little bit.

Bang.

What is this, a fashion show, Sonny?

No, Mr. Farrelly, 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.

Because as soon as we get control, the laundry is open for business.

And this club is going to do a lot of business.

Listen, I'm just happy to help, Mr. Farrelly. I know, I know, I know.

Yeah. We take over every racket in Dallas.

And all that cash is going to 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 results.

You ready, Frank?

Yeah. But I don't see why we have to have him over here.

Walker's had it for their ranch.

Yeah, I know. I just feel better if we met him 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, it will be different.

Someday.

Frank, they're here.

Hi. Walker.

Hi. Oh, thank you.

Alex, you look beautiful as always, honey. Thank you.

Good. Come on in.

Okay.

I really enjoyed this evening with Frank and Alan.

So did I. I like them 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 going to pay for Roberta's

college.

Yeah, I noticed that too.

I just hope everything's okay with him.

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

Yeah.

Easy, Luther. What's up, man?

You seem a little nervous today.

No, I'm not nervous.

Just a little anxious to get on my vacation here. That's all. Uh -huh.

Where are 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, Rachel. I don't know nothing about nothing.

Please, Luther. You know everything.

No, not this time. Sorry.

Easy, easy now.

I'll tell you what.

Why don't you give us something right now?

Well, we're going to take you downtown and sweat it out here.

Sweat? Now, that's something that would do wonders for your health.

Hold on. See, I said I didn't know nothing.

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

What'd you hear?

Some big families making a hard push to take over all operators in Dallas.

I'm talking big guys, little guys, even guys like me.

How? Well, that's easy. Yeah, making an offer that you can't refuse.

Either you get with the family or you get dead.

And the way they're killing them? Oh, no. That is not the way I want to go.

How are they killing him, Luther?

Oh, you know as well as I do. It's a big vat of acid, man.

Who's doing it?

Yeah, we have a guy named Eddie Coburn.

Yeah, we know Eddie Coburn.

So listen, does he want to see you?

Oh, yeah. In fact, this guy already wants to meet at 4 o 'clock this

Some little plating shop down by Commerce.

So you see the motivation for my vacation.

I don't want to end up with some of the guys that I know.

If you don't mind, I really got to catch this bus.

Hey, Luther.

Coburn know what you look like? I don't know. Keep it that way. I'm out.

So somebody don't get with the program, what? You just stick them in that tub of

stuff? Stuff.

Acid. Burns them right down to the bone.

Well, maybe Luther will be taking a little swim if he don't see things our

huh?

You Luther?

Yeah, you sent me here at 4 -4.

Oh.

Hey, I'm going to want that back.

That cost me three cents.

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 there ain't nobody there. Oh, yeah?

Yeah. Look!

No, man, this is... 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 going to cost you 15 large every week, every Friday.

Y 'all must be out your mind.

Think of it as a franchise in FIFA doing business on Forelli turf.

Since when is Dallas Forelli's turf?

Since now.

All right, listen.

We got to negotiate down because 15 large.

All right!

Tell those girls of yours to work a little overtime and we'll see you on

This meeting is over.

The Farrelly family's making the move into Dallas.

The Farrelly's?

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 them.

That's because anybody who makes a move against the Farrelly's might end 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.

I sure hate to see anything happen to them because you made a wrong business

decision.

Don't you ever threaten my family.

Let's make sure that's all that it is, Frankie boy.

It's a threat.

Knock him dead.

Somewhere beyond the sea.

Somewhere waiting for me My lover stands on

golden sands And waits for the ships that go sailing

Somewhere beyond the shore

She's there just like before Happy we'll be

beyond the sea

I go sailing.

It's far beyond the stars.

It's far beyond the moon.

I know that my

heart will leave me there soon.

I know we'll meet. I know beyond the shore.

Just like before, happy we'll be beyond the sea.

And never again I'll go sailing.

No more sailing.

Yeah, bye -bye sailing.

So long, goodbye, bye -bye.

Frank? Come in.

Hey, Walker.

How you doing? Everything okay?

Well, could have 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. I know of him.

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

Well, you know, Sonny's working for me now, kind of like a consultant. I've

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.

I swear.

Okay.

Good night, Frank.

Hey, see you, Walker. Good night.

Make sure I take care of the thing I'm supposed to take care of. Yeah, I got

Yeah.

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,

let's start from the beginning.

How did you get involved with the Thunny 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

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 and says, I know some people that'll lend you the money.

Thunny 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. I'm still paying these guys

Well, last weekend was going to be my final payment.

Done. What happened?

Sonny said they were going to take over the club. I said no.

They worked me over pretty good.

And they threatened worse.

I got signed a 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.

Come on.

I'm dragging it. Come on.

Looks like they're open for business.

Let's go.

Drop them.

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

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.

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.

Sidney, you're going to... I know, I know.

Cocktail waitress.

Looks so good in those little outfits.

I didn't ask him.

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.

Huh?

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,

Yeah.

Piece of cake, right?

Yeah, right.

Afternoon, Mr. Bishop.

How you doing?

Hey, boss.

Frankie, who is this?

The new hirees. We've been short of bartender and waitress for weeks.

From now on, I do the hiring.

What are your names?

I'm Joey.

Donna.

Temba before.

Yeah, sure. Last over at the Kit Kat.

You know Louie?

Actually, Louie got fired before I started. They caught him stealing from

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.

Dirty ashtray.

I'd collect the bill and cut you off, frankly. I mean, nobody in their right

mind would be ordering. That's Will.

Listen, do I have the job? I mean, should I go?

Yeah, you're hired.

What about me?

You too.

Great. Thank you.

According to the FBI, there are four major players in the Farrelly crime

Three underbosses. Paul Banyan, Carlos Gower, and Billy Farrelly. One boss,

Billy's older brother, Tony Farrelly.

So, where do Chachi and Satch fit in?

They're in the prostitution game for the family.

Yeah, that's why the Farrelly 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.

If you could bust Sonny for extortion, Frank's testimony would definitely put

him away.

No, I want the whole organization, starting at the top. Tony Farrelly.

Then a racketeering case is our best shot.

It's a tall order. You're going to have to catch Tony in the act.

Well, that's what we intend to do.

Let's take a little break. So two cases Saturday night, right? Yeah, that'll do

it. Thanks. Come in. All right. See you.

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. No, you're not kidding.

Where are you planning on planting your bugs?

One here at the bar and the other one in the dressing room.

Well, I'm going to plant one of mine down at the VIP table.

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

Good, good.

Hey, looks like you're in luck.

Cover me. Got it.

Sam, Mikey.

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

So come Saturday night, we're going to take 5 % of every dollar you make.

5 %? What are you talking about? You're killing me.

Hey, you got a problem. What did you find out of county?

Babish?

What are you waiting on, a bus? Get in the car.

5 % easy.

Come next year, we'll up the percentage to 7.

Nice.

Come on.

I am so sorry. You idiot.

I am so sorry.

Oh, you jack. Let me clean it. Get off of me. I'm sorry. I apologize, really.

Al, tell Frank I want to see him.

I'm sorry.

Sonny's going to like this.

How did this lug pay back?

You paid him back, all right.

It was a little interest to boot.

I mean, no pun intended.

Got it.

Yeah.

Al said you wanted to see me.

Yeah.

I'm 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, and 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.

Of 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 the car to 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.

What's your name again?

Donna.

Donna, Donna.

Very attractive, Donna.

Oh, thank you very much, Mr. Martone.

Oh, Sonny.

You know, from where I was, I thought you were looking at me.

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

Well, listen, I'm going to have some VIPs at that table tomorrow night, and I

want you to take care of us personally, you know, keep the champagne flow. I'm

going to have a big celebration.

Okay.

And why don't you, um...

Wear something nice. Maybe we'll go out and do something afterwards.

Sure.

All right, then.

From the sound of it, Sonny has a convention planned for this Saturday.

Expect to see Tony, all three underbosses, and some potential money

candidates.

When are you handing over the marked bills?

Today at the basement.

You're still going to have to catch him 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.

Must be Friday, and Friday's always payday. Right, Luther?

Come on, Luther, sit down.

Come on.

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 call. You should have been a

comedian.

Yeah, well, Eddie Murphy talked me out of it. He said pimpin' pays better.

Might be right, huh?

See you next week, Luther.

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 Honey's bodyguard in the cooler, we're going to have to bust a Pharrelli

organization soon.

Yeah, I know.

Welcome, gentlemen.

Hey, Carlos. How are you?

The L .A. L .A. gang's all here.

Hey, sweetheart, buy a little best champagne at this table, please.

Yes, sir.

I want it right here.

Thank you.

You got a nice place here, son.

It's going to be nice after tonight, Paulie.

Is this all right?

Yeah, that's perfect. Thanks, doc. Let's 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.

Yeah, I like this guy tone.

I'm still waiting to see if our boy will sign on a dotted line.

Here he is now.

Hey, Frankie.

Hi, Sonny. How are you? Why, listen, I want you to meet some friends of ours.

It's Mr. Paul Banyan.

It's Carlos Gala.

Billy Forelli.

This is Mr.

Tony Forelli.

Hi, Mr. Forelli. How are you?

You making a good choice here, Frankie?

Well, speaking of choices, what we got here...

Mr. Farrelly, 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,

But we've got to live with it.

Go die with it.

You get that?

Die with it?

Die with it.

I'll sign it.

But I was just thinking... Sign it!

All

right,

now we can do some business.

This calls for a celebration, right?

So far, so good.

Hey, Frank, where you going? I got to change for the show.

Have a drink. I really got to go. Hey, Frank.

Have a drink.

Gentlemen, good success.

That's all. That's all.

Hey,

Jay.

Time for business. All right, Frank, I lost.

That's them.

Let's do it.

How much?

Eighty -five grand.

Huh? And that's just from the hookers.

What, do you got a boy star rolling in?

Yes.

Other guys have rolled in.

How you doing, Tony?

Texas Rainers, you're under arrest, Tony.

Get me out of here. Come on.

All

right,

all right, you got me.

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

good time.

Oh, the shot bites with its teeth dead.

And he shows it pearly white.

Just a jackknife has old bag heaping.

And he keeps it out of sight.

You know, when that shark bites with its teeth dead, it's

got a billow start to spread.

And fancy gloves, oh, as old Maggie wears,

they keep sitting out of sight.

Well, there's a duck, buck, duck, buck, buck, down by the river.

Yeah, let's see, man, back.

Just a -moving down.

See, man, it's just, it's there, 408 there.

If I but get you 10, no one might be back in town.

Hey! Ah, Jenny Diver.

Yeah, I shook a tawdry.

Look out!

Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you.

Ain't all you do, he's gonna see.

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

Cause that's where the ranger's gonna be.
