Great crisis brings great opportunity, and when bad things start happening to the biggest players in San Michele's corridors of power, Testori knows he'll have to move quickly to restore the status quo he's spilt so much blood to establish.
Will the dictator's iron fist be enough to quell the clamor triggered by the prison's newfound power vacuum?
Increasingly isolated just as the battle lines for the prison's drugs trade are drawn and uneasy truces between factions begin to waver, Testori takes his methods to new extremes in order to keep his seat at the head of the table.
But he's no longer the sharpest mind on the block, and it's not just the inmates he has to worry about. Read on as we detail how to watch The King online where you are.
