The THE KITCHEN Movie Plot - THE KITCHEN
In 1978 in Hell’s Kitchen, three women are married to members of the Irish mob: Kathy Brennan (Melissa McCarthy) and her
husband Jimmy (Brian d’Arcy James) have two kids, and Jimmy is kind and wants to leave the mob. Ruby O’Carroll (Tiffany
Haddish) is married Kevin (James Badge Dale), who’s the son of Helen (Margo Martindale) and heir to the mob empire.
Claire Walsh (Elizabeth Moss) is married to Rob (Jeremy Bobb) who is abusive towards her. One night while robbing a
convenience store, FBI Agents Silvers and Martinez (Common and EJ Bonilla), who have been trailing them, bust them, and
the three men are sentenced to three years in prison.
Little Jackie (Myk Watford) becomes the head of the mob with Kevin in jail. He tells the three wives that he will make sure
they are taken care of, but gives them each a tiny pittance. Kathy can barely afford to feed her kids. Claire, who volunteers at
a homeless shelter, is attacked by one of the homeless men, so even without Rob there to hit her she still gets hit. The
women ask Jackie for more money, but he viciously denies them. Kathy tries to find a job but no one will hire her because
she’s a mother. The women are at a loss for what to do. They hear around the neighborhood that despite all the local
business paying their protection fees to the mob, they have seen very little results under Little Jackie. The women seize the
opening, using Kathy’s cousin Duffy and friend Burns to be their enforcer. They begin collecting protection fees and helping
out the neighborhood, making a huge profit and becoming beloved in the community.
When Little Jackie finds out, he has his goons beat the crap out of Duffy and Burns, who tell the ladies they’re done. The
women confront Little Jackie and declare that they are in charge now, and Little Jackie assures them they’ll be dead by
morning. The women sleep with guns under their beds, but nothing happens. The next morning while Claire is taking out the
trash, Jackie assaults her in the alley and begins to attempt to rape her - but he is shot in the head by Gabriel O’Malley
(Domhall Gleason), a former Irish mob enforcer and war vet who had been in hiding until Ruby called him - and he always
loved Claire. Gabriel shows the ladies how to dispose of a body, and with Jackie out of the women, the women begin running
the neighborhood with Gabriel as their chief enforcer. Gabriel and Claire begin a relationship, and Gabriel teaches Claire
how to kill - she tracks down the homeless man who attacked her and shoots him in the head.
When local workers are upset that they are not getting the construction contracts on buildings being built nearby, the women
promise to handle it for their people. They meet with the Rabbi who is in charge of the property, who refuses to hire union
workers. The women offer him protection, but he explains that he already pays protection to the Italian mafia up in Brooklyn.
The women arrange for enough intimidation to be put on him that he relents and gives in. The women are ordered to meet
with Alfonso Coretti (Bill Camp), the head of the Italian mafia, who is furious that they have taken business from him. But he
recognizes that they have power, and cuts a deal with them: some of his Italian men work on the site to, and the ladies kick
back some of their profits - the women refuse at first, but Coretti tells them that he has made arrangements for the women’s
husbands to be released early. He knows when the husbands return, the women’s place in power will be threatened, and he
will support and protect the women. Realizing he’s right, the women agree. In exchange, Ruby demands more area of the city
be under the women’s control, and Coretti agrees.
Before the husbands are set to be released, the women do everything they can to shore up their power. Ruby takes Helen out
to dinner, and as Helen berates and insults her, Ruby shoves her downstairs, killing her. When the husbands get out, there is
tension and struggling for power. Kevin thinks he’s in charge now and wants to cut the women out, Jimmy is concerned and
wants Kathy to quit, and Rob is furious to find that Claire has left him and is living with Gabriel. He comes to her new place
and hits her, twice, and she shoots him and disposes of his body. Kathy is horrified, and the three women are summoned by
Coretti, who tells them that he has heard that a hit has been placed on them by members of their own gang. Kathy doesn’t
want to believe it, but Ruby offers them more money and asks the mafia to kill Kevin, Duffy, Burns, Jimmy, and a young
member named Colin. Kathy is horrified, telling them Jimmy had nothing to do with it and that Colin is just a kid and to spare
him. The deal is made. Kevin, Boots, and Duffy are all executed. Someone breaks into Claire and Gabriel’s apartment and
Claire shoots him - it was Colin, Ruby was right. Just as Claire and Gabriel kiss, Colin shoots Claire, still alive. Gabriel kills
Colin, but it’s too late.
After Claire’s funeral, things are tense between Ruby and Kathy. Ruby and Gabriel feel it’s Kathy’s fault Claire is dead. Kathy
feels guilty and sad, but is trying to figure out how to keep running the business with Ruby. Jimmy angrily keeps telling her he
wants her to quit. While confronting Ruby, Kathy realizes that Ruby has been taking some of their collection money and
paying off Agent Silvers to keep them out of trouble… Ruby explains that she keeps them out of trouble, and in fact, set up
their husbands to be caught on the night they were originally arrested. She knew that with the husbands gone, there would be
an opening for her to move up in the world, and take power as a black woman. This was the only way. She even had Silvers
murder Gonzalez to protect them, and she’s been gaining more and more territory. When Kathy goes to pick up her kids, she
finds they aren’t there - panicked she begins searching for them, but gets a call from Coretti - the kids are with him. She
goes to the meeting and finds that her kids are safe, and that Jimmy brought them there - he met with Coretti to ask for a
deal to cut Kathy out. Kathy is horrified that he would put their kids lives in danger for his ego - she leaves him there, and
Jimmy is executed by the mafia.
At Jimmy’s funeral, Kathy’s father, who has constantly been telling her how disappointed he is in her for getting into the mob,
tells her he’s proud of her for protecting her kids. Kathy says she did it for herself. Ruby tells Kathy that a vendor hasn’t been
making their payments, and asks her to meet her there. Kathy goes, and finds that Ruby is waiting with Gabriel to kill Kathy -
but Kathy has brought all of the local Irishmen to back her up. She tells Gabriel she loved Claire too, and Gabriel admits he
only got back into this life because of Claire and leaves. Kathy tells Ruby that she needs Ruby to keep running the uptown
area they’ve gotten, and Ruby needs her to keep running the Irish in The Kitchen. The two women reach an understanding,
and continue on, the most powerful women in New York.
