10/16/2024 Kick Recap - "The Lang I Know"
Lang wakes up to a text from the Marshalls letting him know he's been subpoenaed. He calls Luciano to meet with the Dons at the butchery. Lang and Luciano are the only ones around, so they spiral in discussion about what they need to do. Sophia was sent the message, so Lang and Luciano think it's really over. Lang tells Luciano about yesterday, preparing him for Zeek's punishment.
Lang suggests a new plan: have Marlo loan them money to buy a super mansion and they'll stash all the operations inside of it. They run to check out the mansions, breaking in through the side doors. They're too expensive, Lang stops by Roosters and they break in the back door. (<:FeelsStrongMan:926915364456128522>) Queenie calls from her burner to check in, Sophia and Teddy were cooking up a plan, so Luciano tries to set up a meeting. They call Clark and go to pick him up at the Paleto fence, and then return to Cypress to pick up Zeek.
Lang drives them to the beach in silence, and has them stand by the water. He asks Zeek to explain what happened, so Zeek re-tells the story again, mentioning that they changed cars and clothes before entering Cypress. They opened the crate and then went to the oil fields to check if they were followed or seen by AIR-1. They were called to go north to help Bubbles, so Clark JOKED to put the crate parts in the Stables. Zeek goes to park the car, and relays the comm over the radio, and that's when Lang yelled at him. Clark tries to clarify that he told Zeek to put it at his house after he joked about the Stables. Lang tells them they're both idiots, and that they both should be shot down as a consequence of their actions. Lang fines them both 125k, and shoots them both in the knees. Lang and Luciano get back in the truck, and Lang runs them both into the water before driving back into town.
Luciano tells Lang he was contacted by an outside organization for a hitman type job, Lang doesn't believe him. Luci adds himself back to the Hideout app so he can cook the fentanyl again, Lang complains about Cypress and the organization. They head to the Silos, and Luciano begins gathering supplies, but hands Lang the folder he got from the Faceless. They're giving Luciano military grade equipment, including a sniper rifle. Lang thinks Luciano is out of his mind, but they get the supplies and head to the boat to cook.
They get the cook done, pick up Arush and then head to Clark's to get the weapon parts from yesterday. On the way, they tell Arush about the Clark and Zeek punishment. They call Sophia to meet, and Lang reads through the subpoena and realizes that they are being haunted by the books. Lang and Arush discuss options, but they don't see one. They head over to the Marshall's office to 'show face', but don't find anyone. They are told people are in a court case, so they head up and watch, Lang takes photos on his phone.
As the Dons leave, they come across Pred and the 404 crew in the city hall lobby. Lang wants to shoot Pred, but Arush asks him not to. Larry comes out and wants to chat, but Lang tells him to check his phone for the subpoena. Lang, Luciano, and Arush stop by the food court. They call Teddy to meet, and head to the new buildings by Legion Square. Teddy arrives and tells them about his SUPER trusted person, he won't even tell the Dons their name. Teddy wants to handle the operations for a few weeks, and cycle them from different properties until things cool down. They want to chat about it, so they let Teddy go.
They are suspicious of losing control to Teddy, and joke about putting everything on Don Corleone while he's away. Lang calls Larry back, and Larry tries to talk Lang down from spiraling, but Lang re-explains how serious it is. Larry tells Lang to talk to Martin and CJ, they might be able to help talk him down. Larry breaks and starts trying to motivate Lang, asking for Leanboi Lang. Lang says he'll handle it.
