I know where all [[Vice Kings|them fools]] hang. All we got to do is roll up in there, get their attention, then lead them to the [[Stilwater Police Department|cops]]. They'll take care of the rest.|[[Benjamin King]] to [[Playa]], while at a meeting in the [[church]] with [[Julius Little]] and [[Johnny Gat]].|The King and I introduction.ogg}}

==Overview==
At the [[church]], [[Julius Little]] holds a meeting with [[Benjamin King]], [[Playa]] and [[Johnny Gat]], and gives King an ultimatum: "keep [his] fuckin' pride and die right now, or [...] be a man and walk away". King chooses neither, and instead opts to kill [[Tanya]] first, and then walk away. Julius agrees, and sends Playa with King [[Downtown (Stilwater)|downtown]].{{ref|'''Cutscene''': [[#cut1|King's Dilemma]]}}

There, they lure several [[Vice Kings]] to a [[Stilwater Police Department|police]] ambush site, severely weakening the gang and paving the way for King to reach Tanya when he's ready. King thanks Playa, and muses on what they could have accomplished together had Playa joined the Vice Kings instead.

{{quote|Way to go, son. It's a shame Julius found you first. We coulda owned [[Stilwater|this town]].|Benjamin King|The King and I Benjamin King.ogg}}

===Story===
{{story|mission|Given the choice by Julius to either leave town or get shot, Benjamin King decided for a third option of leaving town after he gets even with Tanya. Agreeing, Julius sent you to drive King around to Vice Kings hideouts and get them to follow you into waiting police traps. After the gang was weakened, it would be time to deal with Tanya.}}

==Gameplay==
[[File:The King and I - we got their attention.png|thumb|250px]]
The premise of this mission is to gain the attention of some [[Vice Kings]] and lure them to a point on the map, whereupon the [[Stilwater Police Department|police]] automatically kill them. This needs to be done three times.

;{{a|obj1|Find a car.}}

;{{a|obj2|Go to the {{color|blue|Kings' hideout}}.}}
;{{a|obj3|Get the Kings to chase you. Don't kill their {{color|limegreen|driver}} or {{color|limegreen|car}}.}}
The first group is very easy to lure to the ambush site; simply shoot any Vice Kings gang member who does not have a green arrow above their head, wait for one who does to get in the nearby marked car, and drive away, making sure not to drive too far away from the vehicle.

;{{a|obj4|Lead {{color|limegreen|them}} to the {{color|blue|police ambush}}.}}
The vehicle takes a lot of damage here, as fighting back fails the mission, so keep up the pace and lead the enemy to the site to finish them off.

;{{a|obj5|Go to the {{color|blue|Kings' hideout}}.}}
;{{a|obj6|Get the Kings to chase you. Don't kill their {{color|limegreen|driver}} or {{color|limegreen|car}}.}}
The second group is slightly more difficult as they are further away from the ambush point, which means the longer drive back entails more damage received to the vehicle.

;{{a|obj7|Lead {{color|limegreen|them}} to the {{color|blue|police ambush}}.}}
When reaching the second group, they are immediately hostile, unlike the first, due to [[Notoriety]].

;{{a|obj8|Go to the {{color|blue|Kings' hideout}}.}}
;{{a|obj9|Get the Kings to chase you. Don't kill their {{color|limegreen|driver}} or {{color|limegreen|car}}.}}
;{{a|obj10|Lead {{color|limegreen|them}} to the {{color|blue|police ambush}}.}}
The third group is fairly close to the ambush point but is the most hassle because of their firepower and the high level of Notoriety. As such, consider changing vehicles before getting there.

;Success
After leading the third group to the ambush site, the mission ends, and the Saints take over the [[Brighton]] neighborhood in the [[Downtown (Stilwater)|Downtown]] District.

To begin the final mission of the Vice Kings story arc, "[[All the King's Men]]", the five Vice Kings Strongholds must be completed: "[[Sunnyvale Loft]]", "[[Filmore Parking Garage]]", "[[Abandoned Police Station]]", "[[King's Grocery]]", and "[[Waterfront Rooftop]]".

;Failure
The mission can be failed by getting [[smoked]] or [[busted]], abandoning/killing King,{{ref|'''Mission strings''': [[Talk:The King and I#Mission strings|MSN_VK08_KING_ABANDONED=King was abandoned.]]}}{{ref|'''Mission strings''': [[Talk:The King and I#Mission strings|MSN_VK08_FAIL_KING_DEATH=King was killed.]]}} destroying a marked Vice Kings vehicle,{{ref|'''Mission strings''': [[Talk:The King and I#Mission strings|MSN_VK08_FAIL_VK_CAR=You destroyed the Vice Kings car.]]}} or killing its driver.{{ref|'''Mission strings''': [[Talk:The King and I#Mission strings|MSN_VK08_FAIL_VK_DRIVER=You killed the Vice Kings driver.]]}}

|Jack Armstrong|[[Jack Armstrong]] here, a follow up to the story we brought you earlier. Lots of Vice Kings dethroned today by [[Stilwater]]'s [[Stilwater Police Department|finest]]. We've been standing by, waiting for comments, and... er, they are... they are ready now, yes? Okay. So we take you now to police headquarters where [[Chief Monroe]] is ready with his comments.
|Chief Monroe|Hello.  Earlier today, an as of yet [[Playa|unidentified man]] was being pursued at high speeds by perpetrators who were later confirmed to be Vice Kings. Despite the stressful and dangerous nature of the situation, this citizen kept a level head and contacted the police immediately.  Once informed, we were able to respond swiftly and in doing so, were successful in the apprehension, detention, and in a few cases, termination of some of the most notorious criminals in this city.  Today a great victory was achieved in the war on crime, and if the citizens of Stilwater remain vigilant, we are sure to see many more.  Thank you for your time.
|Jack Armstrong|What you have been listening to was the live feed of a press briefing held by Chief Monroe regarding the gunfire heard at several police buildings today. He took no questions, and as I watch the video monitor here in the studio, he is already back inside tending to the needs of the community. We'll have more details here in the newsroom as they become available. I'm Jack Armstrong.||{{+}} }}<section end=The King and I />

==Trivia==
* The name of the mission is a reference to the musical {{wp|The King and I}}.
* During the drive, [[Benjamin King]] notes that [[Julius Little]] grew up in [[Sunnyvale]] and is not originally from [[Saint's Row]].
* He also recalls the "I don't care what flags they're flyin'" speech, which King wrote years ago and Julius was always fond of. Julius said this speech during the opening cutscene of "[[Canonized]]".{{ref|'''Cutscene''': [[Canonized#"Rallying Cry" cutscene|Rallying Cry]]}}
* King ominously foreshadows later events in the ''Saints Row'' series, saying that "''even if you wipe out the [[Vice Kings]], it ain't gonna be over''", that "''There's always someone lookin' to take what you have... some punk who wants to make a name for himself''", and "''The fact is, once you're in the game, the only way you're getting out is if you're dead or in jail''".

{{dialogue|Drive chatter
|Benjamin King|So does Julius ever talk about growing up in [[Sunnyvale]]?
|Benjamin King|What, you thought he was from [[the Row]]?
|Benjamin King|The problem with burying the past is that you forget about it, you know what I'm sayin?
|Benjamin King|I bet Julius gave ya the whole "[[Canonized|I don't care what flags they're flyin]]" speech, didn't he?
|Benjamin King|I wrote that shit years ago, and the mother fucker hasn't forgot it...
|Benjamin King|Your easy to talk to, you know that? I don't gotta worry about you interrupting me or any of that shit...
|Benjamin King|That was [[Warren]]s problem...that mother fucker never knew when to shut up and listen...
|Benjamin King|Ya know that even if you wipe out the Vice Kings it ain't gonna be over, right?
|Benjamin King|There's always someone lookin' to take what you have...some punk who want's to make a name for himself, some girl you fucked and never called back...
|Benjamin King|The fact is, once your in the game there only way you're getting out is if your dead or in jail.
