However, Chickie's hubris has not moved even an inch, resulting in an unanticipated development.

Who kills Chickie in 'Tulsa King' Season 2?
Despite receiving a negative answer from Manfredi, Chickie does not feel lost and reaches out to Bill Bevilaqua (Frank Grillo) for help. Citing their family's generation-old relations, Chickie attempts to win Bevilaqua's favor. Using his persuasive tactics, Chickie eventually wins Bevilaqua's favor, and the two resolve to confront Manfredi. In the following scene, Mitch Keller (Garrett Hedlund) prepares for his auto dealership store's publicity, but Grace (McKenna Quigley Harrington) advises him to take a more natural approach. Later, Manfredi is shown getting his illicit businesses in order, negotiating a share of local enterprises.
The very next scene shows Chickie and Bevilaqua meeting Manfredi, with Chickie taking the initiative and proposing a business arrangement. Chickie, being his irritating self, suggests that Manfredi extend his firm into neighboring cities, like a franchise, resulting in a higher profit. When Dwight comments on Bevilaqua's point of view, Chickie interrupts him, stating that Bevilaqua is okay with it. As Chickie continues to speak, Bevilaqua shoots him, killing the man instantly. It is later revealed that Manfredi and Bevilaqua colluded to get rid of Chickie in exchange for a 50% split for Bevilaqua.
