Episode 5 of Tulsa King Season 3, titled “Crossfire,” plunges viewers into the heart of chaos as Dwight Manfredi’s criminal empire teeters on the edge of collapse. The episode opens with a flashback: Dwight, years earlier, sitting in a New York prison cell, staring at a photo of his daughter Tina. The scene sets the emotional tone for what’s to come—family, loyalty, and the cost of power.

Back in present-day Tulsa, Dwight is reeling from the ambush at the distillery. The bourbon barrels he fought so hard to secure have been destroyed, and Mitch, his trusted ally, lies in critical condition. Dwight’s crew is shaken. Bodhi blames Tyson for the failed security setup, while Armand remains suspiciously quiet. Dwight silences the bickering with a single command: “We strike back tonight.”

Meanwhile, Bill Dunmire, the bourbon tycoon turned nemesis, holds a press conference denying any involvement in the distillery attack. He paints himself as a victim of organized crime, calling for increased police presence in Tulsa. Behind closed doors, however, Dunmire is orchestrating a full-scale assault on Dwight’s operations. He’s hired a private militia—ex-military contractors with no allegiance and no mercy.

Stacy Beale, the ATF agent entangled in Dwight’s world, is caught between duty and emotion. Her superiors have given her an ultimatum: bring Dwight down or face suspension. She meets Dwight in a secluded park, warning him that federal agents are closing in. Dwight, ever defiant, tells her, “I didn’t come this far to be taken down by suits and paperwork.” Their conversation is tense, layered with regret and unresolved feelings.

At the Bred2Buck nightclub, tensions boil over. Tyson confronts Armand about a mysterious phone call traced to Dunmire’s estate. Armand denies being a mole, but his evasiveness raises red flags. Bodhi hacks into Armand’s phone and discovers encrypted messages—proof of betrayal. Dwight, furious, confronts Armand in the club’s basement. Armand confesses he was blackmailed by Dunmire, who threatened his family. Dwight, torn between justice and compassion, spares Armand but banishes him from the crew.

The emotional centerpiece of the episode is Dwight’s strained relationship with Tina. She visits him at his apartment, demanding answers. “You promised me you were done,” she says, her voice trembling. Dwight tries to explain that everything he’s done was to protect her, to build a legacy. Tina isn’t convinced. She warns him that if he doesn’t walk away now, he’ll lose her forever. The scene ends with Dwight alone, staring at the photo from the flashback, haunted by choices.

As night falls, Dwight prepares for war. He gathers Bodhi, Tyson, and a few loyal allies. Their target: Dunmire’s private warehouse, rumored to house weapons and surveillance equipment. The plan is simple—get in, destroy the tech, and send a message. The crew moves under cover of darkness, using back roads and encrypted radios. The warehouse is heavily guarded, but Dwight’s team is precise. Explosions rock the compound, and the militia is caught off guard.
