Ladies and gentlemen.
We are now over Sicily.

In a few minutes we will arrive
at the Palermo airport.

The local time is 10:00 a. m.

Please observe the no smoking signs.
Thank you.

"Via Redentore, Modrano."

Modrano?

Go.

Vince!

Frank! Hey, Frank.

Are you crazy? Why in the hell
didn't you tell me you was comin'?

- I wanted to surprise you.
- Some surprise, all right!

You'd have been the one
with the surprise.

This is my brother!

Look at ya. Dirty bum.

- How was the trip?
- Fine.

How is she? Carmela?

She's fine.
I brought some pictures.

- Geez, I miss her.
- She misses you too. We all do.

Sure. Two lousy letters
since we've been here.

Some brother. Did you break
your arm? How's Emma?

The kids? She have any trouble
with the new baby?

Not a bit. Half hour after we got
to the hospital, there she was.

I wish I could see 'em.

I can't believe it.
You're really here.

Wait till Ida sees you.
She's gonna go crazy. Come on.

- You look great.
- Baloney! Eight pounds.

- Looks good on you.
- That's all you brung?

I decided so fast.

You dirty bum.

So when Carmela came home
with a report card like that...

Emma and I were
just knocked out.

The next day I went down
and bought her the stereo.

That's some daughter
you got there.

Good as bread, Ida.

You oughta see the way
she helps around the house.

She was always like that.
From a little baby.

- You sure everybody's all right?
- Ida, enough. Enough!

I've been making this for
your Christina. Look, velveteen.

Then I'll put the lace here.

That's beautiful.
That's just great.

In the summer, soon as school's
over, Carmela's gonna come, huh?

We would've brung her,
but this ain't for her.

It's another world here.

Vinny, you come too.
Emma, the kids--

I wish we should, Frank.
I got a million things--

You got nothing.
Relax a little.

We'll see.

Say, Vinny.

Where's my driver?
What do you hear about Pete?

Nobody's seen him since you left.

He's probably in Miami
with some chippy.

Look at this guy.

Who could believe it?
The three of us here in Sicily.

Huh? What's the matter?

Oh, nothing. I'm just
a little tired, that's all.

- Why don't you take a nap?
- I think I will.

The way the time changes with a jet,
it makes you all dopey.

I know.
I was sleepy for a week.

He looks good, huh?

I just wanna hug him.

Frank, why is he here?

What are you talkin' about?
He's my brother.

You know they're goin'
to send somebody.

Cut it out. I don't wanna
hear that, ya understand?

All right, Frank.

Music, music!

Emma, Vince, to you.
Health and much happiness.

And the money to enjoy them!

- And lots of kids. At least five.
- You got it all figured out?

Vince and Emma
and your five kids.

Take your hands off.
You lost a daughter.

You're stealin' my life,
you lousy crook, you.

You Neapolitan!
He's got the Sigi blood now.

Emma, how come a beautiful girl
like you got such an ugly old man?

You hear that? Your brother-in-law
on your wedding day.

Wonderful family relations
you're gonna have. Beautiful.

Beautiful.

Frank, come on, will you?

- Carmi, how many you had?
- It's my third.

How about the two before the cake?

- It's only three, Frank.
- You see how they stick together?

Hey, look at Pete.

What're you laughin' for? You're
worse than Carmi. How many you had?

Two bottles.

Hey, Sol!

- Congratulations.
- This is a big day for me.

- No trouble?
- Like butter.

- Everything like I told you?
- Exactly.

Okay.

Father!
You did a wonderful job.

- Thank you.
- Very, very nice.

Everybody having a good time?

What's the matter with you guys?

Why aren't you drinkin'?
Wine too strong?

See, Dom, I told you
not to invite these cake-eaters.

Sure, sure.
How do you like this guy?

He expects us to have a good time
while his boys give us the evil eye.

What are you talkin' about?

All that muscle
you got over there.

Look at those mustachios. They
don't make 'em like that no more.

They was friends of Pop's and--

Those are some soldiers
you got there.

Dio! Is that Peppino?
Turridu?

I thought they was dead!

Come on, Papa, let's dance.

Take it easy with him.
He's not so young anymore.

That's what you think.

Bravo, Frank.

You said it, Pete.
You and me for 100 years.

How 'bout an encore,
Mr. Ginetta?

That's some wedding.

Yeah, it's nice, huh?

- There's only one thing missing.
- What's that?

Your father.
If he could be here to see.

- Huh?
- Yeah.

Mr. Ginetta, you're some dancer!

You're the next to get married?

Look at you,
you're a big girl now!

Don Peppino. Turridu.

Nice friends you got over there.

Eh, what're you gonna do?

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

Frank.

Vinny. What? What?

- Let's get some air, huh?
- Sure, sure.

How's it feel
to be an old married man?

Like I'm in some dream.

It's a dream.

You're home now.
College, the army.

A million years it seems.

Yeah, for me too.

Hey, that Emma.

You better be good to her.

That's some wife you got there.

I think she might work out.

I've been thinkin' 'bout what
I'm gonna do now.

That thing you told me about
in Boston?

- Global Petrochemical.
- Sounds pretty good.

- I don't think so, Frank.
- No? Don't let nobody push you.

With your brains, they'll break
down doors to get what you got.

But you don't have
to break down any doors.

What do you mean?

You know what I mean.

- You want to come in with me?
- Unless you don't want me.

With your education,
you can go anywhere you want.

Frank, I'm in.
I've always been in, haven't I?

You don't know how long I've been
waiting to hear you say that.

Ginetta brothers.

What's better than that?

- Nothing.
- You're damn right.

I need you, Vince.
Honest to God, I really need you.

We're gonna show these bananas
how to operate, huh?

Now first thing Monday morning--

Wait a minute.
I just got married. Remember?

All right.

When you get back, I'll have
the books ready. The whole works.

I'll show you
how it all goes together.

Books. That's all it is now.
Not like when Pop was alive.

'Rithmatic. It's just arithmetic.
That's all it is.

Honey, we can't
start out like this.

Just for a little while, I thought
maybe it could be different for us.

I thought we could--

Thought we could what?
Come on, tell me.

Let it go, Vince.
Let it go.

Honey.

Honey, I owe him.

Ever since I was eight,
it's been just Frank and me.

He's done everything. Everything!
He's got dues coming.

He even waited until I grew up
before he got married!

What am I gonna say to him?
"Thanks, good-bye and good luck"?

I can't. He needs me.

What about the rest?

I've got two degrees that say...

"You need somebody to add two
and two fast," get Vince Ginetta.

That's all I'd be doing.
Bookkeeping. Credits, deficits.

Stop kidding yourself.

You want to go in with him.

It's not just that you owe him.
You want it.

I've lost a lot of time
between the army and school.

I'm almost 30 years old.

I'm not gonna spend the next
20 years punchin' a clock...

so I can end up
a tenth vice president.

They need somebody like me.
I got a way to go and go quick.

- I can fit in there my way.
- There's only one way: theirs.

Okay, now you just stop.

I'm not Frank.
And I'm not your old man.

Okay.

If that's the way you want it...

that's the way it's going to be.

But I don't want
to know anything.

Nothing.

Don't tell me anything.
That's the only way I can do it.

I don't wanna know ever.

Please. Please.

Jake, Solly.

Okay, you guys!

Just relax.
I'll talk to the warden.

Your friend, the comedian.

I hear you dropped
a few scudi at Aqueduct.

That dumb jockey,
he never even used the whip.

How much did they take you for?

Some handicapper.
Lost a bundle, huh?

It's only money.
You still got your first nickel.

- Emma's due now, huh?
- She's got a watermelon.

- Looks like another boy.
- Better be or we'll send it back.

Frank, I hear you're big in
the real estate business these days.

You kiddin'? I got a genius
for a brother. You oughta see him.

He goes through a set of books while
talking on the telephone. Brains.

Sometimes too much. Once a month
I gotta kick him in the head.

- Hold all the calls.
- You gotta do that with geniuses.

Could we get started?

Okay? First thing,
Investigating Committee.

They got about two more weeks
in Cleveland. Then they hit us.

This Attorney General Kessler's
got big political ambitions...

so he's making with the big mouth
for next year's elections.

He's got a big nose too. Especially
when it comes to the labor thing.

- He can't be reached?
- No chance.

We know he's after two of us.
Dom, you open anyplace?

Couple of small things.
I take care, easy.

How 'bout your union loans? He's got
big things planned for you, Frank.

That's nice. I like people
which takes an interest.

Just check everything twice.
This oughta go like the last one.

They get on TV, holler, get their
votes and everybody goes home happy.

Oh and, Frank.
next time there's any problems...

let L.A. handle the contracts, huh?

Finks I handle myself.
A dead bird right in the mouth.

We decided to use L.A. for stuff
like that. And only after the vote.

We're supposed
to operate together, discuss.

You button your action, I'll handle
mine. That punk deserved it.

That's not what Jimmy's
talkin' about.

Listen, Ginetta, every time you act
like some Brownsville torpedo...

you got every sorehead and
eager politician pointin' fingers.

And that's no good. We gotta be like
the wallpaper, like the furniture.

- Especially now.
- Furniture? I'm a chair.

Solly, you be a table.
Hey, Dom.

You look like a good flowerpot.

If we're finished with the jokes,
let's get on with the new business.

A major problem has been how
to put our surpluses to work...

in legitimate enterprises.

I think this new plan
offers one very tangible solution.

Funds from our numbered accounts in
Switzerland and Central America...

can be lent back
to certain front men here.

People we can buy.
No records...

good business heads,
solid community types.

These men will invest heavily in
the smaller electronic companies...

subcontracting the government space
and missile projects.

We got a survey on these companies?

Yes. They're small, but absolutely
vital and specialized.

With long range, careful
and planned investments...

and certain legal
stock manipulations...

I think we could eventually
control this part of the industry.

Then, the second part
of the operation is easy.

- What's the matter, Frank?
- I don't like it.

Explain that second part.
How does that go?

That's the guarantee
we control the entire situation.

Once we have these companies,
our labor teams will move in...

to organize and consolidate
the unions that service them.

With increasing
international pressures...

defense, the space race...

I think our position,
to say the least...

becomes very advantageous.

The second part of this operation
gives us a considerably big fist.

Maybe too big a fist.

Oh boy. Every plan's got
something wrong with it lately.

What's the matter?

Nothing. You just can't put
a new idea in that hard Sigi head.

What's this? I express an opinion.
That's against the law?

Come on, we got things to do.
Solly.

We can handle it,
if we go easy...

and work everything out
to the last comma and decimal point.

We all buy that.
Let's move on.

Wait. You decided already?
How 'bout the vote?

I say go.

I vote no.

Yes for me. Now you
wanna discuss some more?

Yeah, I wanna discuss.

I say we're grabbin' plenty
of federal trouble we do this.

The government won't sit around and
let you stick 'em where it hurts!

Yes, sir!
Coming, Mr. Bertolo!

Pop?

What's up?

Things ain't so good, Vinny.

Frank?

You think all these years you
understand somebody. You don't.

I talk to him quiet, plain.
I try to make him understand.

You think it gets inside here?
It don't.

Everything the board comes up
with now, it's "No, no."

How long ya think Sol, Jimmy, Jake
gonna take that kind of stuff?

They had enough, especially
after today. Up to here.

You know Frank.

Listen, we ain't playin'
for matches here!

We got new action to consider
almost every week. We gotta move.

There's ten for each of us, ready
to make the decisions if we don't.

They could push him right out.
He could lose everything. Yeah.

- And you too.
- Me?

You gotta understand something.

You're Frank's brother.
You're my son-in-law.

You had things the way you wanted.
That's fine. I wish you the best.

But with the board, that don't
mean nothin' if they gotta push.

I've been talkin'
to a couple of 'em about...

how you might button a part
of this new electronics operation.

I ain't said nothin'
to Frank because--

You know the way he's been.
But now--

Look, Vinny, if Frank
don't see things right...

you might have to make a decision
to go out with him or come with us.

Or maybe they don't even
give you the decision.

Maybe you go out with him
just the same.

What he does hurts you.
See?

If it goes like that,
I can't help you.

I can't help you at all.
I want you to understand that.

I want you to think about that
when you talk to him. Okay?

Yes.

How's Emma?

She's fine.

- And the kid?
- Fine.

The watermelon?

Everything is all right.

You call me after.
Hear?

- I'll talk to him tomorrow.
- Today.

- You see that lousy ball?
- It's 9:00. Can we go now?

We're goin'! One minute.
It's the last point.

Don't get excited--

Pete, explain it.

Never against the wall.

Sit down, have a drink.
We gotta play another one to decide.

- I've gotta talk to ya.
- Ten minutes.

- Hey, ten more minutes.
- I said, forget it.

For cryin' out loud,
it's gonna kill ya? Vinny!

Francesco!

- Hey, Mr. Ginetta.
- Look at ya, ya bunch of goof-offs.

Make like you're working, huh?
Sure!

Hey, Willie!
The kid get over the measles?

Yeah.

Hi, Gloria.
What have I got?

1:00, reporter from The News.
Interview about the hearings.

Forget it.

The district attorney's office
wants to know if you'll come in...

for preliminary questioning
or should they send a subpoena?

Tell them to call my lawyer.
What else?

Your brother's here.
And Mr. Peppino called.

- He leave a number?
- Yes.

Get him back.

Hey! Got it all laid out, huh?

That's good.

How'd the game turn out
last night?

Cut it out, will ya?

- Yeah?
- Mr. Peppino.

Mrs. Calidru thanks you
for the money and Flowers.

That was a good thing you do.

What are you talkin' about?
Forget it.

Frank, you come to the funeral?

I don't know.
I got a heavy schedule.

You should come. It's gonna mean
a lot to the family.

Sure, I'll be there.
What time?

5:00. 724 Crotona.

Addio, Frank, and grazie.

So long.

- Frank.
- Yeah?

Why do you hang around
with those old guys up there?

I don't know.
I like to hear the talk.

Remember what it was like
before all this.

They kinda remind me of Pop,
the way he used to be.

You get with them, start talkin'
Sigi, and I don't know you anymore.

That bothers you?

I just don't understand
what you've got goin' with them.

When we first come here
from the old country...

you couldn't pitch pennies
without which they say it's okay.

You think I'm kiddin'.

New York, Chicago, Miami,
they was it.

The council, capos of everything.

You couldn't sit at the same table.
Not even Pop.

And he was their
number-one soldier.

They done a lot for me
when Pop got it.

You ask Pete.

Dom says things aren't so good
between you and the board.

You've been objecting to a lot of
the new franchises and proposals.

You know what they come in with
now? I tell you about the last vote?

The electronics thing is good.

If it's done slowly and carefully,
we can't miss.

Boy! I got another expert.
Oh, they talk big.

But there's some things which is
too big like the government.

Frank, there's nothing too big,
not even the government.

You can't keep operating
out of a candy store!

Candy store?

Aetna Wholesale Flowers,
Garibaldi Importing...

Cara Produce,
Ginetta Coal and Oil--

What's this, peanuts?
This is a candy store operation?

The board is going ahead
on the electronics thing.

You gotta move with 'em
or they're gonna move you!

And not next month or next year.
Now! Should I draw you a picture?

You don't have to do nothin'
but what I tell you.

Oh, that's great.
That's just great. Wonderful.

And all along I had the dumb idea
we were doin' this together.

Okay, you wanna be il capo?
Fine, Frank.

- But I'm warning you--
- Wait a minute!

- You warn me?
- I'm warnin' you, Frank.

You go with the new operations
or you're out!

And if you decide it's gonna be out,
or they decide for you...

don't ask me to put myself
on the line for this!

I won't sit around holdin'
my breath till everything blows!

No siree, Charlie! Those kinda
dues I'm just not payin'!

Speak English, will ya?
This is America!

I talk like I want
and you don't say nothin'!

I tell you this ain't gonna work!

Frank. Frank, how do ya know
unless you try?

I know. Thirty years and you think
you can tell me in five minutes.

Nobody can tell you anything!
That's the trouble with you!

You shut up! Pop's life
to get this and now mine!

What the hell do you know about it?

I was 18 years old when
I had to make my first hit.

Yeah, had to!
Because my name was Ginetta.

While you were
still suckin' on Mama.

Your first Holy Communion, I was
fightin' one-to-ten in Dannemora.

When you had your confirmation, I
was breakin' arms to get this union.

What do you think,
somebody give it to me?

Nobody spits here
without I say so!

I kept this and made all the rest
because I do it my way!

The way Pop showed me,
the right way.

I'm tired of hearin' about Pop!
Pop was nothin'!

- Me and Pete, we had a couple.
- I ask you? Come on.

I married 18 years, how could
it be you still look the same?

Maybe 'cause you don't want
to wear your glasses.

- You asked Vince for dinner?
- I ain't seen him.

I've been busy.
Anyway, you can't talk to him.

I think he's nervous
about the baby coming.

You call?

Sure, sure.

What's the matter?

How old, huh?

- At least 100.
- You!

Oh, Francesco!

Hey, how old was you when
I first saw you at the convent?

Eighteen.

You were skinny, with pigtails.
You was kinda ugly--

Yeah, you were by the fountain
with the nuns.

- I watched you through the fence.
- I know.

What do you think
the first time you seen me?

"That's some good-lookin'
American sport"?

"The next time I see that crazy guy,
I call the police."

How come every day you come
to the fountain, you look around?

- Me? Look around for you?
- Yeah.

Big shot!

He comes to Italy to find a wife,
like you buy a horse or a chicken.

If I don't come, what?

Are you gonna stay there and
become a nun and say your rosaries?

Sure, sure.
You're the only one who wants me.

Who are you gonna find in Modrano?
Scibetta, the shoemaker?

Fazzio, that fat street cleaner?

Hey, Ida, Ida, come on.
Tell the truth, huh?

You really used
to look for me, huh?

You wasn't skinny, boy,
and you wasn't ugly.

You was always the best.
Honest to God.

Then, now, all the time.

Speak English!

How long you been here?
English.

English, okay.

What you got,
some old Guinea here?

I give you 100 years old!

What's with this lousy thing?

- English.
- English.

No more of that dago stuff.
What do you think you are?

This is America.

What do you think
I brung you here for?

Gonna make a new rule right now.

No more Italian in the house.
Ya hear?

Yes, Frank. You make the rule.
No more Italian.

No more Italian.

Everybody gonna speak English.

Carmela is--

Vinny is--

Vinny speaks English good.

Everybody gonna speak English.

- Don Sasa!
- He knew all and said nothing!

Don Francesco...

now is a thing only you can do.

We are all finish.
There is nothing no more. All right.

Our mama, the family
is always alive. Hai capito?

Who knows?

You were only a kid,
un picciotto...

when they get Marranzano.

In two days, they kill 41 of us.

I remember.

Forty-one.

Because we tell Luciano Hadonis
to go to hell...

when they say we got to bring
in these other people:

Kassel, Solomon,
Zwillaman, Costello.

These Irish cake-eater.

They say the Mafia is finish.

And they want to make
the syndicate. And we say no.

In a family,
the blood stay pure.

Palermo.

Caltanisetta.

Vizzini.

Mazzarino.

Coraleone.

Riesi.

Menfi.

From the family
of the 41 astutati.

So many years.

And now once in a while
still they come.

Don Francesco,
you know what they ask?

My son Rafael.

You remember?

Turridu's brother.

Giovanni.

Your father.

Don Antonio.

All these years,
we sit and bite the tongue.

And now we know
who give the names...

to Luciano and su assassini.

After 35 years, we know.

Listen.

There's nothing left for us
but a box in the ground.

But before that, we are going
to give la Santa mamma what we owe.

This debito. All these mouths say
we're going to do it.

And it's not just for them.
For us too!

You are going to give back l'onore.

You the strong one now.

In your hand, I put the order.

The one who give the names is...

Dominick Bertolo.

Dom?

No. No!

I say yes!
Yes and yes again!

But he's in the family. His
daughter's married to my brother.

Before my brother Meme died...

he told me he was there when
Dominick Bertolo gave all the names.

That's why I spit in his coffin.

It was Dominick Bertolo.

It's your duty.
You're with them now. All right.

But some thing is never finish.

You born Siciliano.

Tu Si mafiusu,
like your father.

And this for Bertolo...

so he know why.

- Frank.
- I figured maybe you was up.

- What's the matter?
- Nothing. Can't I come and see you?

Well, sure, sure. Come on in.

- Hi, Emma.
- Hi.

What's the matter? What's wrong?

For crying out loud,
something have to be wrong?

I just come for a visit.

- Give me your coat.
- No, I'll only stay a few minutes.

Hey, where's little Anthony?

He's not awake yet.

Hey, did the doctors
tell you when, uh--

Oh, any day now. I can't wait.

You just take it easy.
Don't be in such a hurry.

I remember when Ida had Carmela
and my mom had this bum.

Oh.

I find this last night.

I think maybe you
and Emma'd like to have it, huh?

- What is it?
- It's Vince when he was a kid.

I take most of these.
You never seen these, huh?

- No, no.
- Yeah.

Huh? Him, three years old.

Hey, you were a regular fatty,
weren't you?

And this one holding the chicken,
he was six or seven.

We used to go to the Catskills
every summer. Remember, Vinny?

Hey. Look at that.

- Boy Scout?
- Yeah, sent him to the--

Where was it? In Jersey,
to the woods for two whole weeks.

It was a--
What do you call that, Vinny?

- A jamboree.
- Yeah, jamboree.

Look at that--
the boots, the huntin' knife.

Who gave him that haircut?

Honey,
why don't you get some coffee?

All right.

- Can I keep this?
- Sure, I brung 'em for you.

Vince, we gotta cut it out.

I know sometimes I don't listen.
I got a big mouth.

But right now I feel like my brains
is being squashed...

with the board,
the lousy investigation.

But we work it out,
you and me, huh, Vinny?

There's plenty of things
which is gonna try to hurt us...

without we gotta hurt each other.

- Honest to God. What do you say?
- Of course, Frank.

One thing, what you said about Pop.
That ain't right. That's a sin.

Oh, Frank, I didn't mean what
I said about Pop. You know that.

It's just that sometimes I get
backed in a corner and I just--

Yeah.

I wish you could have known,
Vinny, the way he was.

He was the best.
Maybe I'm nothin'...

but not him.

Boy, they knock him off
just like that--Just--

You don't know, Vinny. I--

Frank, what is it?
What's the matter?

We're gonna work it out, Vinny,
you and me, huh?

Well, sure.
Of course we are.

Oh, listen. Ida wanted me
to ask you to come eat tomorrow.

We ain't seen the kid
in a long time.

- Okay, fine.
- You'll come, huh?

Listen, Frank.
Let me ask Dom to come too, huh?

- We can straighten things out.
- Yeah.

That's a good idea.
You call him, huh?

Right.

- Their new album is the best.
- But it's not music, just noise.

You don't know
how to listen right.

Listen.
You'd go deaf after half a minute.

I don't care what anyone says.
I like it.

Listen to the teeny bopper.

- She'll be wearing a miniskirt.
- Sure. Why not?

I don't think they make 'em
for people in your condition.

Frank, what you say?
Shall I get a miniskirt too?

Sure. I let my hair grow,
take off my shoes.

I carry a flower.
We have a regular circus, huh?

Ring! Oh, excuse me.

Hello. This is the Ginetta
residence. Frank speaking.

Anthony Ginetta?
I'll see if he's here.

- Just a minute. Anthony Ginetta?
- Never heard of him.

Who? What?

Hey, you Anthony Ginetta?

Yeah, he's here.
Oh, you wanna talk to him.

- It's for you.
- Hello?

Hey, what's the matter?

Hello, hello? He hang up.

- Add another one like this guy!
- The next one's a girl.

It moves different. Anthony kicked
like a mule for three months.

- This is a girl. I can tell.
- You can tell, huh?

Yes, I can tell.
Whose stomach's it in?

Vince, I am with you.
Another boy like this.

- Better it's a girl.
- What's the difference?

Don't! Pa, you're gonna hurt him.

What, he's made of glass
or something? Here.

- Leave him alone, Frank.
- A mustache is good for circulation.

- There.
- Hey, give your auntie a kiss. Hey!

- There you are.
- Ida, it's a sin you cook like this!

- The chicken wasn't done enough.
- Listen to her. I'm dying.

Please, don't die. Open your belt.

It's funny. You eat,
you eat, you lose your appetite.

Hey, a little anisette, huh?

- I'll take care of him.
- Ida, listen.

I keep forgetting to get
the recipe for that eggplant.

Hey, Carmela. How come I never
see you with the braids no more?

- Oh, Papa, I'm 17.
- Next month.

- Oh, Papa.
- Seventeen! Big deal.

You're a big girl, huh?
Come here.

Your mother wore braids
until she was 21.

Here. Sit down.

- Hey, Pop. Look at this.
- Yeah.

What did I tell you?
Ho Chi Minh wouldn't stand still.

- Yeah, those guys ain't kidding.
- Carmela.

- Yes, Mom?
- You got out just in time, Vinny.

That's some place.
They got snakes over there.

One bite, you're dead.
Yeah. Malaria.

Who can live in those jungles?
Who'd want it?

Carmela, you forget these dishes?

For crying out loud, Carmela, what
are you always fooling around for?

- You're supposed to help your mom.
- Me?

- Yeah.
- You were the one--

That's right, Carmi.
She's calling you.

I'll make her come.

- There's a lot of work to be done.
- It was his fault.

Sure. You two get together,
you forget about everything.

Now clean the table.
I don't want to hear anything.

I hear you been toutin' Vinny to
work on the electronics operation.

Who told you that?

What's the difference?
It's true?

Yeah, I'm sponsorin' him.

How come you don't say nothin'
to me about it?

Huh?
How come you don't say nothin'?

I know how you feel about this,
but I've got a big chance here--

- You got nothin', understand?
- It ain't his fault.

You stay out. This is my house.
I'm talking to my brother.

You've been doing enough.

I wanna know if you understand.

I'm talkin' to you, Vinny.

Did you forget what I told you
in the office the other day?

You never said
you was goin' in this.

You were told, Frank,
a hundred times, a hundred ways.

But you're just
not listening these days.

I said I'm not putting myself
on the line for your action.

I said the electronics thing
made sense, and I'm saying it again.

I'm gonna button for them if they
let me and Dom is sponsoring, okay?

You and him,
you got it all figured out.

Well, so what?

I tell ya so what.
You ain't buttoning nothing...

because that's gonna bust wide open
and I ain't lettin' you go in!

- I am!
- Forget about it.

You think you can stay out of it
and still call the shots?

How are you gonna fight them? You
don't like it and want out? Fine.

But you're not
dragging me with you.

You got guts, Vinny--
really guts to do this to me.

- Do what?
- You sell me out.

Nobody sold you out!
You were voted down!

This is how
we gonna work it out, huh?

Well, I'm telling you now I'm not
gonna let you do this, Vinny.

And I'm telling you I am.
Now just stop giving me orders.

If they say yes,
I move with Dom and them.

- The hell you are.
- It's the board's decision and mine!

Stop it!

Come on, kids.

Come on. Come here.

- Come on. Let's get out of here.
- Vince--

You gonna give me an argument?
Take the kid and move!

Now!

That's supposed to be your brother,
Frank. You forget?

Don't say nothin'.
Don't open your mouth.

You don't know
what's goin' on here.

You just don't know.

L 'onore mafiusu's finished
a long time ago.

What's the matter with you?
You deaf?

Or you don't listen?

You forget where we used to be?

Dominick put the finger on Pop.

I can forget that?

Never.

- Yeah?
- Don Francesco?

Don Peppino?

Don't forget.

We are waiting.
You have a job to do.

We count on you.

Sure.

But you stay out of it. Give
somebody else the contract, huh?

This I gotta do.

They're gonna find out.

They'll find out.

And then?

Then I take a little vacation
in Sicily.

I'm with you, Frank.
Anything you want.

Frank, only use the Fifth Amendment
if things get rough.

Kessler wants you bad, especially
on the loans of union funds.

How ya fixed there? Frank.

All right.
How many times I gotta tell ya?

I arranged for a temporary loan
from my dock local to balance him.

Okay. Los Angeles
has two good mechanics ready...

in case there's any heavy work
to be done.

Anything else?

Now we have this thing
with Vince to go over. Dom?

Yeah, uh--

First thing is...

everybody knows what's happened with
you and your brother and with me.

We all know.
And we gotta fix it up...

because this kind of thing is no
good for you and me and everybody.

Second thing is, I say we should
let Vince button for us.

Vince is out.
That's how we're gonna fix it up.

Frank, the nature of this decision
affects everybody.

That's right, Sol. It affects
everybody. It affects me too, huh?

So how come I gotta find out
for myself?

- How come, huh?
- I suggest we don't say nothin'...

until we see what the hell
you gonna do next.

You think I wanna play
these kind of games with you?

You think anybody here wants it?

We all gotta give you
the special treatment.

We gotta keep our mouth shut
because you still got it...

in your mind you gonna do things
your way, no matter what.

Hmm. My fault. From the beginning,
a bunch of baloney.

Who are you,
you should be so special?

We ain't playin' bocce here, paisan.

Wait a minute, Dom. We just can't
start pushing each other around.

Frank, look at what you have now.

You get old, have your family, clip
your coupons, collect your rents.

No more running. You pay your taxes,
and you live safely.

Why? Because every decision
is made on the basis...

of more than the personal
interests of just one man.

I don't know if you realize
just where Vince would fit...

and how important it would be
and the amount of money involved.

But it is considerable.
Now Dominick has suggested--

He's something, that guy.
He suggests...

he recommends,
he gives information.

- He's the best in the world.
- That Sigi don't understand nothin'.

- I tell him what he can do.
- Stop it.

- Not you, you cammorista bastard!
- Now, Ginetta!

- I think we'd better vote on Vince.
- That's fine.

You vote all you want,
but you ain't gettin' Vince.

Now this is for me to say.
I say no!

No it's gonna be.

Key target of Kessler's crusade,
this Frank Ginetta...

alleged Cosa Nostra leader
and union organizer.

Ginetta will be questioned
in connection with his activities...

in the policy rackets, extortion...

and labor manipulations
throughout the east.

Now the attorney general
put it this way:

"It's about time the public
took a long, hard look...

at this patron saint
of the working class."

Kessler intends to review
Ginetta's arrests...

suspicion of grand theft, suspicion
of murder and assault with--

Ain't you got homework to do?

Papa...

is it true?

What, I got
another investigation here?

What do you believe,
that or what you got here?

Who you believe? I ask you.

- Huh?
- Oh, Papa! Pa!

Do your homework.

Yeah?

How's the eye?

Frank, I just don't understand
how you could blow it like that.

Hmm.
Dominick told you already, huh?

Dominick is your friend.
He's trying to help.

Those other guys are ready to throw
you out. You gotta listen to me.

- This is real trouble.
- Trouble.

"Trouble," he says.

Ah, Vinny, you smart kid.

College, everything.

You don't understand nothing.

You got your action
with the electronics thing.

That's all set.

Well, you do what you want
from now on.

What are you gonna do?

It's funny.

You're just like I was-- don't
listen, do what you want, tough.

Lousy thing is,
you can't fight no more, Vinny.

You're a piece of furniture.

The only thing now is the vote.
That's all. The vote.

Hmm. Dom ain't taught you
that part yet.

What are you talkin' about?

In Sicily, when we wanna
make the bull fat...

we take a knife and cut him
so he's no good no more with a cow.

He's no good for nothing.

He don't fight, just gets fat.
That's the vote, Vinny.

That's crazy.

Crazy, huh? You'll find out.

- Just call Dom, please.
- Honest to God, I'm really tired.

- Go home.
- Then I'll call.

- What do you want from me?
- I want you to talk to him.

Leave it go, huh?

We gotta do something.

Frank, please.

All right.

Tomorrow I talk to Dom.

Promise?

Sure. Sure, I promise.

Now wait a minute.
Let me say something.

Oh, you already said plenty--
too much.

- The boys are pretty mad, huh?
- What do you think?

- Dom, we gotta fix it up.
- Oh, "we"?

- All of a sudden now it's "we."
- You're right. The kid's right.

That's the way we gotta go.

Well, we better talk.

Okay, let's talk.

- Hey, did you eat yet?
- No.

Listen.
Let's go up to Scarpati's.

A little scampi, some clams.

We ain't done that
in a long time, okay?

We eat, we straighten it out.

- You're crazy.
- Come on. I'm hungry.

Or am I? One minute, I'm ready
to give you a shot and the next--

Hey, Pete!

You know, Dom,
I can't figure it out.

What makes a guy do things?

I mean, you get an idea in
your head, it stays no matter what.

You can't change it.
You know, I gotta change.

Solly said it.
We can't push each other around.

Especially you and me.

That's dumb. It's really dumb.
It's really dumb!

That's the first right thing
you said in a long time.

Well--

Hey, drink?

Hey, Pete, I drink for you
'cause you're driving, huh?

Ah, sometimes I think,
whatever happened to all them years?

These crazy things we did.

Hey, you remember Benjy Miller?

- Uh, no.
- Benjy Miller. Hey, Pete!

- You remember.
- Sure, from Bensonhurst.

Yeah! I had a contract on him
I'll never forget.

He's a nervous type. You can't get
near him. He don't trust nobody.

So listen to this, Dom.
I spent two weeks bein' his buddy.

We were hopping to bars, I'm tryin'
to find the best way to set him up.

All the while, I can't carry iron
because this one's really nervous.

At the end of two weeks, I'm in.

But really in!

He wants to take me home and fix me
up with his sister. That's how in.

Get this.

It's all set up. We walk out
of a bar on Washington Street, see?

We pass a bunch of people,
Pete slips me the.38.

I keep walkin', my arm around him,
jokin', laughin'.

I get him around to the side
of the pier, see?

I put the gun in his gut, pull the
trigger and click, click, nothin'.

His eyes are buggin'
out of his head, lookin' at me.

I start to laugh.

"Hey, you see what a pushover
you are?

What would've happened
if I wasn't your friend, huh?"

"Oh, geez, you're right," he says,
"You're right. I gotta be careful."

We go back to the bar.
Get this, now.

I'm in the toilet with a fork,
workin' on that lousy gun.

I'm goin' crazy.
I'm cursin', I'm sweatin'.

I get it fixed.
We walk out of the bar again.

Now I'm really in tight with him.

The same pier,
right in the same spot.

This time, bang, bang, bang, three
big ones right where he breathes.

You should have seen
the look on his face.

Oh, those were some times, huh?
Geez.

You said it.

Yeah. You know, I got,
let's see, 460 fish for that.

Twenty years. Crazy!

Those guys you could get
for 100, 50.

- Cowboy ya right in church.
- Regular shooting gallery.

Yeah, you never knew
when you were fingered or what for.

A guy would rat on you
for two cents. Remember?

Yeah. I remember.

Yeah, so do I, fink.

Forty-one of them.

Remember?

Giovanni Lippi, Franco LoBello...

Eduardo Ruggerio...

Rafaello Luca...

Carlo Angelo...

Benvenuto Grisello...

Guiseppi Siragusa...

Carmelo Pellegrino...

Salvatore Ricciardi...

Gino Pagano...

Pasquale Reina...

Felipe Mani...

Franco Balestera...

Antonio Ginetta...

Umberto Arrosa...

Emilio Paresi...

Nicola Callace--

All right. Let's have a vote.

Hit.

Hit it is.

He ain't gonna expect it from you.

We'll let you know when.
Maybe a month or two.

Get your passport.

The organization thinks
you deserve a chance...

since you wasn't in on it.

Me, personally,
I'd get the both of you.

Don't goof, Vinny boy.

You're on your own over there.

You get out after, okay.

You don't, tough.

Beat it.

Watch yourself, Sigi.

You're walkin' on glass.

You get that pig or you got funerals
on the family plan.

Go.

Vince, sleep good?

Yeah.

- Come on.
- Where are we goin'?

Let's go. Toto's waiting.

Hey, Vinny, this is your aunt.

I can't remember them all,
but they're all relatives.

Everybody. Hey, look!

This is your second cousin Angelo.

He looks like you!

Come on, Vince. Wine!

- Go ahead, Ida.
- You come too.

Vince, come with me.
I wanna show you something.

Vinny, see these olive trees?

I stole a whole sack when I was 13.

Jesus, Pop came looking for me.

I hid under the bed all day.

They called me riccotaru then.

Then picciottu.

You know how I felt the first time
a capo called me mafiusu? Jesus.

Somebody with respect.

The word is like a rock.

Old stuff in the States,
but here it's...

it's in the air, Vinny.

The fruit tastes different here.
It must be the dirt.

You don't know how good it is
for me to come back.

This was Pop's.

Nice, huh?

Alfonsu kept it.

Best grade, made in Belgium.

These we call a'lupara.

To kill u lupu--a wolf.

You know how long
we been usin' this kind of gun?

When one of us is gonna get it,
it's gotta happen after wine...

and eating
with all the relations.

First food, love, then a'lupara.

Quick, capisci?

Vinny, you gotta make the hit.
They got you by the throat.

Where you gonna go?

Emma? Your kids?

My Carmi?

They got you.

Don't worry, Vinny.

Everything's gonna be all right.

Toto'll take you to Palermo.

Ain't that funny?

Me like Pop, you like me.

Like we was all the same guy.

Ain't that funny?
