Tulsa King S3E7: The Real Reason Dwight Sought Out Attorney General Sackrider
Paramount+ has a breakout bruiser in Tulsa King, where Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan unleashes Sylvester Stallone in his first TV lead as Dwight the General Manfredi, a New York mobster rebuilding an empire in the last place you’d expect — Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Season 3 of Tulsa King keeps doing the thing this show does best: letting Sylvester Stallone smile politely while he burns down a broken system and anyone standing in it. If you were waiting for the one where Dwight Manfredi goes full political operator, Episode 7 is it. And yes, it gets messy.
Quick refresher: who, what, why now
Created by Taylor Sheridan (you know the one) and led by Stallone in his first-ever TV starring role, Tulsa King follows New York mob veteran Dwight 'The General' Manfredi as he rebuilds a criminal empire out of, of all places, Tulsa, Oklahoma. The ensemble around him includes Andrea Savage, Dana Delany, and Garrett Hedlund, among others. Season 3 has been steadily ratcheting things up. Episode 7, Art of War, pushes it into openly weaponizing politics.
Episode 7: the Attorney General learns who he is dealing with
When the state yanks the liquor license for Dwight’s distillery, Montague Spirits, via Attorney General Sackrider’s office, Dwight tries the respectable route first. He books a formal sit-down and offers a clean trade: restore the license, and they can find a way to help each other. Sackrider shrugs him off.
So Dwight does what Dwight does. He starts looking for leverage and, with an assist from Margaret (who cozies up to Sackrider’s wife, Anna), finds two big pressure points: a marriage on the rocks and a gambling habit Sackrider would rather keep in the dark. What follows is the kind of step-by-step squeeze this show lives for.
- Sackrider’s office suspends Montague Spirits’ liquor license.
- Dwight requests a legitimate meeting and pitches reinstatement for mutual cooperation; Sackrider refuses.
- Margaret befriends Sackrider’s wife, Anna, and uncovers his failing marriage and a hidden gambling addiction.
- Dwight invites Sackrider to his casino for a friendly game night, sets the table in his favor, and lets the AG dig himself deep.
- By the time Sackrider notices he’s $100,000 in the hole, Dwight offers the exit: wipe the debt, fix the license.
- Sackrider folds. The distillery’s license gets reopened, and Dwight effectively plants a friend inside the government.
The fallout lands fast. Jeremiah confronts Sackrider over the reversal. Sackrider, suddenly feeling very protected, throws out a line that is both smug and incredibly dumb to say out loud.
'I have stronger protectors now than you, Jeremiah... men of honor.'
Jeremiah loses it, swings on him, and ends up in an orange jumpsuit. Clean cause-and-effect.
