Original subtitles

My daughter wanted to marry Jimmy Centario.

Both families forbade it.

She said it was like Romeo and Juliet.

Who were Romeo and Juliet?

Who the hell were those people?

Not Sicilians, certainly.

How long's it gonna be?

We love each other.

This is ridiculous.

We can't be together because of some stupid war between our families.

I love him.

Like you love Mama.

I respected your mother.

How do you respect the man from the Centario family?

You judge him without ever been meeting him.

He's a Centario.

I don't have to meet him.

Silvio, please talk to him.

Papa, I've heard Jimmy is nothing like his father and his brothers.

Silvio, you're naive.

They are dangerous, violent people.

Rosemary, you're too young.

I'm older than Mama was when she married you.

We live in the greatest country in the world.

You can be anything you want.

All I want is Jimmy Centario.

That's all I want.

If I can't marry Jimmy, then I'll kill myself.

Maybe that's what you want.

Don't ever say that.

This life is such a gift.

Dad, let me meet with Jimmy.

I mean, maybe I can work things out.

Silvio, you're my hope, my pride.

You're my biologist.

Where's Rosemary?

She's not eating.

She said she's not hungry, Papa.

And she'll stay in her room.

She won't stay there long.

Am I stupid to expect my orders to be obeyed by my children?

You know, Uncle, Jimmy Centario works for your friend, grown belt in Las Vegas.

Now, his family owns half the Santa Du Hotel.

He always wanted it.

Not to be part of our family.

I don't sacrifice my daughter for the Santa Du Hotel.

I propose many arrangements with the Centario.

Jimmy and Rose really love each other.

And it could bring the families together.

Could put an end to all the hate.

Silvio.

You'll have a better heart than most people.

Don't worry about your sister.

She'll suffer for a few months and then she'll be over.

Pop's right.

Times are dangerous.

Families are getting hurt.

Shraders are singing like canaries.

I don't want to waste any lives at this table.

And the bloody world with the Centario.

So listen to Pop and stay out of it, all right?

Hey, Cupi.

Oh, Bea, Father.

I should have wiped them out before all of the Centario.

Before these two lovers ever met.

It took courage, Silvio, to come here against Pop as well.

I'll do anything I can to help you.

You know that.

What I want to say is that they really love your sister.

I love her more than anything in this world.

The only one who can convince Popa will listen to you.

My father doesn't trust the Centario.

He says he's tried many times to make peace with your family.

Silvio.

Well, let me say this.

He's offered many proposals that would divide up the power.

Come on, man.

You're a father.

My father.

They're old men.

Everything to them is a war.

It's the Sicilian thing, ancient quarrels.

We can work this out.

We're young, man.

We see things differently.

Look, I own half of the Xanadu hotel in Las Vegas.

Now I can give Rosemary anything she wants.

A beautiful home, clothing... Babies?

Many babies.

We're going to have a good life.

Plenty for everybody.

What about your brothers?

Brothers.

They understand they've met Rosemary.

They love her almost as much as I do.

It's just my father.

Nothing is going to keep us apart, Silvio.

I hear you.

Yeah.

Look, Jimmy, I'm glad we met.

Me too, ma'am.

Now our fathers will stop fighting once they

get their hands on their first grandson, huh?

Everything's going to be okay.

Dad'll listen to me.

That's him.

Silvio.

The youngest.

The bitch who's Jimmy, the cleric who's your school, us.

Smoke him for now, buddy.

Dominique.

Words are so difficult.

I know Virginia, Sofia.

He was such a good boy.

Such a kind thought for a boy.

Very intelligent, too.

He was known at Columbia University, a biologist.

Can you believe that?

A son of mine, a biologist.

The Santadio, I think they can deceive us by taking his watch and stealing his watch.

Sanjo.

You're a good friend, Virginia.

You and your wife, all kinds of food here.

You must eat.

Thank you, sir.

We do not hang out on Dirty Laundry in public.

But lots of our friends, they should know what really happened and who did this.

Jimmy Santadio showed up.

He came unarmed and unguarded.

He asked for a private audience.

Yeah, well, you let Jimmy Santadio have his

private audience at the bottom of the ocean.

No.

No.

I will see him.

Don't let it go to you.

I placed my life in your hands if you think the Santadio are responsible for this.

I talked to my father.

He gave no such order.

He had nothing to do with it, Papa.

Nothing.

My father, he said that he will reconsider all your proposals.

And he also gave me permission to marry your daughter.

Rosemarie, you have my permission to marry.

But not in this house.

No one will any of my family be present.

Tell your father will sit down together and discuss business after the marriage.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Don't let it go to you.

I understand.

The wedding will be at a Palm Springs house in one month.

So quickly after this?

I'm pregnant, Daddy.

My little girl.

So young.

We're gonna name him Silvio.

Yes.

Yes.

That's good.

Please come to my wedding.

Forgive me, I can't do that.

Don't ask me.

Somebody has to come.

Somebody has to give me your way.

Pippi will represent the family at the wedding.

He's my nephew.

He'll dance.

Pippi loves to dance.

I'll be there.

And if Jimmy doesn't show up, we'll run off together.

Thank you.

I'm gonna go dance with Pippi.

Rose Marie, here's a girl for me.

I don't know if my baby cousin was in a girl that looked like this.

You bring the families together, won't you, Pippi?

Leave it to me.

Rose Marie!

It's a beautiful

wedding done, Centario.

Our two families must embrace.

Like those two young people are.

I bless you for coming.

You can heal me away now.

It's okay.

Pippi's watching him dance.

There's nothing here but the watches.

There's nothing in the bathroom.

You know, it says the rental car is clean.

Pippi says he wants him, he's at the party.

He gives gifts to the family.

He can keep his gifts.

I don't need a watch from the school G League.

Nothing is worth five grand.

Once a king, always a king, once a knight, there's enough.

Who's gonna be next?

You ready?

You're next, Pippi.

Good night, everyone.

Hey,

what do you want?

I'm with the caterer here to pick up the generator.

This late?

It's 2am.

Look, I got a problem.

I got a gig in Riverside and I have to be there in the morning.

For your brother, Jimmy, something silk for the bedroom.

Take it up to him right now.

It's too late.

From what I could hear, Jimmy and Rose Marie are already on their third round.

It's a beautiful watch, Pippi.

I'll wear it with pride.

What upstairs?

The bedroom.

I've got to move fast.

We're not here.

Outside.

It's a choke.

They're playing a choke.

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me!

Outside!

Pippi!

Choke, Pippi, Vincent, what is this?

Don't be crazy.

Please, don't do anything crazy.

Pippi.

Pippi, no!

Please!

How

many men do you remember?

Their face is covered.

Yes.

Do you have any idea as to the identity of these men?

You don't

need to be afraid and protect you.

Your father wasn't at that wedding, why isn't it?

What's your cousin, Joseph Delaney, wasn't he there?

He got the pride up, okay?

Then he left.

We need your cooperation.

We're making it one way to come downtown.

I think it's gonna be easier for you there than here in your father's house.

That one more thing?

Do you have any idea why you were spared, Mrs. Centario?

I'm sending you to Sicily.

Feel protection.

Colla will help you pack.

Hey, I'm your daughter.

Sophia was my brother.

I will never betray you.

The government with all its resources.

They can make you say things.

You don't mean...

Rosemary.

It'll be better for you if you use the Clercusio name.

Better for your son too.

My son?

What makes you think it's a boy?

I don't want him to be cursed with the Centario name.

So what do I tell my son?

That he's a bastard?

He's a Clercusio.

That's all that matters.

What if the Centario hadn't killed Sylvia?

It didn't matter.

The aquarect of their stupidity which would endanger us in the future.

We would only have to fight them at another time.

Be aware.

The world is what it is.

And you are what you are.

Welcome to this interview.

Sit down, please.

Ready.

Pour some champagne for Mr. Benini.

Yes, sir.

So what do you think of the show?

Most beautiful girls in the world.

That's right.

And this one you want.

And then come to Las Vegas to get laid, Mr. Groenell.

You think you talked it?

I've entered the governor's mayors, doctors, congressmen.

They all want to get paid.

Everybody wants to get laid, right?

How about that beauty onion?

And that's... she's a real sheriff.

And she tells... some stimulating stories.

Well, that's the Clercusio.

Welcome, everyone.

No.

Now, Mr. Burbank, Clercusio don't want your hotel.

Only the 49% formerly owned by the Centario.

We want you to retain your 51%.

The Don values your... expertise.

We only ask for our cut.

You'll continue to run the hotel.

Only... under our protection.

You're a... headliner.

What's her story?

You chose the one girl I can't get from here.

She's working her way through the University of Nevada.

And she's not interested in men.

I'll be dancing with her before midnight.

You're very sure of yourself.

How am I able to dance?

You know, it's late now.

I have to write a report.

What kind of report?

A poet?

Priverico Garcia-Lorca.

Green.

How much I want you green.

Green wind.

Green bows.

Ship on the sea or is on the mountain.

So would I teach you at the University of Nevada?

What good is that stuff going to do you?

I'm going to be a teacher someday.

Oh!

Well, you don't look like any teacher I ever had.

I only had nuns.

Have you ever been in... on a grown adult's type of villas before?

It doesn't even seem like, I guess.

So secluded.

No neon lights, no traffic, no people.

Just palm trees and stars and black, black sky.

Is that the locker guy?

No.

It's just up.

That's my last name.

I love to hear you talk.

You talk like a poem.

Hey.

Let's go inside.

I'll show you around.

I told you.

I have a report.

Come on.

Give me a tour.

It's beautiful.

Marble floors.

Silk on the walls.

You know, all that stuff doesn't impress me, Mr. Toledo.

Anyway, I'm not going to sleep with you if that's what you're thinking.

I don't want you to sleep with me.

Until we're married.

Feminine.

How old is the bride?

The bride is 22.

She's been on her own ever since she was a little girl.

She's puttin' away through school.

Straight A still.

Did I imagine she's a straight A still?

Michelle girl?

A dancer.

You know, that's a big difference, Uncle.

I'm that teen A stuff.

Fippy.

Well, it's true.

You got talent.

You don't need to take your clothes off.

Not like she has to anymore.

You think your wife will be happy living in a enclave?

Enclave?

Well, see, the Clitacuzzio family controls all the

real estate in a 40 square block area to Bronx.

I'm sorta like the...

Well, I take care of it.

Kinda like the mayor.

You see, Nailene, it's just that my father's

concerned you'll feel out of place in the enclave.

It's a restricted area.

I mean, there's not even a Chinese restaurant.

Fippy should've consulted me.

A marriage between two people.

I have nothing in common.

No, wait.

We have a lot in common, Uncle.

We're in love with each other.

You wanted me to get married, settle down.

Not without my permission.

And not to someone you already know for a week.

Not to a show, girl.

Excuse me.

I don't have to take this.

I don't have to go, Pippy.

Wait a minute.

No, I think we should leave.

You can't... you can't just leave.

Sit down.

Sit down.

It's okay, Pippy.

You see, Vidon's already arranged for your wedding present.

We have here to teach your new home.

And ownership in the collection agency.

In Las Vegas, it's over $100,000 a year income plus other benefits.

It's a promotion, Pippy.

But in Las Vegas?

It's a beautiful home with a swimming pool that works.

It's a lot nicer than anything you find in the Bronx, I assure you.

We appreciate all you've done.

Nothing can change that.

I'll come into effect.

All right.

Let's drink to Las Vegas, huh?

Pippy, it's beautiful.

Nice, huh?

Hey, I told the operator no shed carpets and nothing go.

Well, I mean, it's nice.

I just, I wouldn't have liked to have picked things out myself.

Hey, it's all free, bravey.

No, I'm sure there's a price.

Oh, Pippy, it's way more than me.

I mean, if you think about people, we've got to get a roof on there.

That's what I love about you.

I always worry about you.

I'm serious.

Well, you're too serious, but I still love you.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

Let's dance.

Oh, dance.

Oh, dance.

Well, dance.

Well, dance.

I love you.

And we make it move fast.

Yeah.

Right.

Who's that?

Quickly.

Where are you going?

It's almost three o'clock.

Miami.

I'll be back in a few days.

Miami.

It's just business, baby.

Nothing for you to think about.

How many are you doing?

What is that?

What's that?

What do you mean, it's nothing.

That's a gun.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Come on now, don't get nervous.

It's just because of my collection business.

I want to be carrying some big numbers.

It's for protection.

But I'm going to bring you back a big surprise.

I think I'm the one with a big surprise.

I think I got pregnant on our wedding night.

You're kidding.

What did you tell me?

I wasn't sure.

Honey, do you have to leave tomorrow?

I have an undactors appointment.

No, I have to.

Oh, honey, I'll make it up to you.

I promise you I'll get back.

Oh, my God.

I'm going to be your father.

Honey, I'm scared.

I just wish you wouldn't take the gun.

Dante and Crucifixo, do you believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church,

the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body,

and light everlasting?

I brought my daughter back from Sicily in time

for a baby Dante to be born on American soil.

Who knows?

Someday he could be President of the United States.

I had dreams for the little boy.

Dante, I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

We baptize another baby that palms Sunday in the private chapel.

Pippi Son Crucifixo.

Crucifixo, I baptize you in the name of the

Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Both boys were very brave.

They didn't French when struck with holy water.

I wanted to speak to you before the Christening party begins.

We've survived this Antonio war.

It's taken its toll.

It's not enough to survive.

We have to take the next step.

On the surface, it might look like we're relinquishing our power.

But I plan for the family main unfortunate to grow.

20?

30 years from now.

We'll all disappear into the lawful world and enjoy our wealth without fear.

Georgia will be my successor.

Now he and Vinnie will no longer take part in any plans that involve danger.

Pippi, I love you like my own.

We have much work to do.

You are my birthday only in the West, my collector.

You will also look after our interest in the Santa do Hotel.

You'll remain the family hammer, my execution.

Vinnie, I used to worry when I'd catch you making pies.

But I was wrong.

I'm about to decide your destiny and set you on your true path.

You'll go to Italy and study with the great chefs.

What are they going to teach me that my mother didn't?

You think your pastry is as good as your mother's?

You'll open a finest restaurant in New York.

Pippi, Pippi, now that Pippi is in Las Vegas.

You'll be the mayor of the Bronx Enclave.

You'll supply the soldiers for the family.

So then we'll keep the Enclave?

We must always preserve our army, our protection.

We hope someday to be saints, not fathers.

What's the looking voice?

You've had a cozier blood?

I'm banking on the day gamblers will become legal in all of the United States.

I mean, I'd love to see it.

What a world for my children.

Dante there.

Maybe the equal of a Renaissance Prince.

Picture of our respectable energy.

Up before you get too carried away.

The heads of the 10 families are waiting in the musical room.

What's your name?

How are you?

How are you?

How are you?

You had to consider the alternative.

Anyway, not for sure.

You keep all of your hair?

What?

I don't want to keep you all from your own families on Sundays.

I'll be as quick as I can.

Right?

This is my proposal.

I retire from all interests with the exception of gambling.

I get to my old friend Virginia Balazzo here.

My New York activities.

He will form his own family independent of the Caracuzzio.

He will pay a tribute of 10%.

In the rest of the country, I yield all of my interest in the unions.

Transportation, alcohol, tobacco, and drugs to your families.

In return, I ask that you let me handle your earnings.

Now, your assets will be safely held and made available to you at all times.

You will also have our access to the law.

And you don't have to worry about the government tracking down your money.

For that?

Just wet my beak.

I ask only for a 5% commission.

The Caracuzzio family is like the Holy Church,

for many of us, throughout the country.

And down Domenico Barracuzzio is the Pope.

After the Centalia affair, he could have declared war on some of you families.

But instead, he chose to make peace.

I, for one, am overcome.

We change our life.

I hope it'll be better, Virginia.

Good night.

Good night.

Beautiful name.

Why not Sylvia like you said?

Don't assume you're fitting.

The world is hell, and he has to live in it.

Mrs. Rosemary, you are always very close.

Your wife is Protestant.

How do you get her to agree to all this?

She loves me.

She wants the police.

Such a religious name.

After your grandfather, please the dog.

And we all must please the dog.

Are you waiting for me to thank you for my life?

Your life was never in any danger.

Forget the past.

We have happy lives ahead of us.

I will keep my mouth shut.

But my life will never be happy.

Scoozer.

Come on, Rosemary.

Let's take a picture of little dog.

Come on.

I would like to ask my gorgeous wife for this dance.

Pippy.

No, no, no.

Sophia will hold her hands to the sun.

You will come dance with me.

Oh, Pippy's dog.

What, you think these people don't have eyes?

Look at her.

Isn't she gorgeous?

Look at that hair.

That skin.

That body.

And she's all mine.

Pippy feels that by sending him to Vegas, he's stripped into some of his power.

Maybe he should reconsider.

He has served his family well.

A faithful soldier.

But he stays in Vegas when he's shorter.

After a mid-pop.

He already has some dancers.

They can't dance forever.

The dance lasted longer than I thought.

Ten years.

Kuchifiso was a fine young boy.

He was a daughter.

Clavier.

But Nelline wasn't raised for the life.

She questioned when she should have been silent.

She probed when she should have ignored.

She wanted to know more when happiness can only come.

From knowing less.

Are you dancing snow?

Hey, Benny Duow!

Hey, you beat your racket.

Made a four and a half hour splash.

Hey, look, yeah, he drives too fast.

Hey, kids.

The daddy drives too fast.

Only about a hundred miles an hour.

He was too fast.

He was too while you're sleeping.

Pippy.

You little twerps.

Retting out of your father!

Come on, you!

Get over here!

Come on!

Come on!

I'll show you.

Right.

I'll show you.

Go!

Go!

Go!

Seven.

Geez.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Now, some numbers like seven come up more often than others.

See, there's six ways to roll a seven from 36 possible combinations on the dice.

So on your first move, you'll most likely land on... chance.

Honey, just let them play the game.

You're taking all the fun out of it.

I'm just teaching them something.

Yeah, gambling.

I just think they're going to get a whole lot more

out of learning the odds than learning poetry.

My turn.

Notice it's mine.

You're not there.

Hey, honey, don't!

You don't take someone to stop hitting by hitting them.

All right.

Every time you hit your sister...

I'm going to give her a dollar.

All right, let's go.

Right!

Okay.

Another dollar.

Sister's going to get rich at this rate.

He's in fear!

Hit me!

Never show your anger.

Tell nothing of yourself.

God, why can't you just explain it simply?

A man never hits a woman.

That's right.

As much as he might want to.

Okay, everything's fine.

God, set up the board.

I put it down.

And I made a good part.

Come on, babe, don't wait now.

Stop that.

What is it, you hate me?

I just don't know who you are sometimes.

Well, if you shut off that light... I'll show you away.

Come on, babe, let me show you.

I don't want you to take him hunting.

Come on, Nalene.

Every father takes his kid hunting.

It's a part of growing up.

What do you want him to be, a sissy boy?

A sissy boy book reader?

Sometimes I'm afraid of you, Pippi.

I'm afraid of what you might turn him into.

Look, for a hundredth time, he's not going to fire a gun.

All right, that rest of it on the log.

And the bullet's going to drop.

So him about an inch above his spine.

Ready?

Now!

All right!

You've got him, buddy boy!

I just want to get the entrails up.

Hang him up.

Blee.

Hey, what do you squimish?

It's only blood.

Get used to it.

Not squimish.

I was just thinking about the deer.

Yeah, well, it's always sad when something dies.

But, you know, sometimes it's killer be killed.

Right, Dad.

Killed by a deer.

What are you committing?

Go on.

What's the prize party for the son of a bitch?

He's a swimmer.

We'll do his laps first.

Hey.

You should be in bed.

Is that your deer rifle?

You know what it is.

It's an AR-15 semi-automatic.

Smart kid, huh?

Hey.

Listen.

I didn't want to wake your mother.

So, why don't you tell her I had to leave?

Okay.

Benny's going to drive me to Reno to catch the company plane.

What are you going to come back?

Well, I don't know.

But maybe I can be up with you all in Vegas.

Okay?

Now what?

You talk to your mom, she doesn't get too pissed.

Can I come with you?

Hey, I'm leaving you in charge.

You're my man.

Mom, you better be going.

Yeah.

Next time.

I love you, Dad.

Dante, it's important for you to know your heritage.

Where you came from.

Italy.

The boot of Italy.

And right off the toe is...

Sicily.

Catania.

That's why I was born.

One of the 13 children.

I defied the unlucky number I survived.

Seven of my brothers and sisters died before they were two years old.

You know, life was difficult to grasp onto.

When my mother died, I slept with my father and two brothers on him.

Little straw mattress.

Every morning I get up before light, made my father's

coffee before I went off the work at a printing plant.

One morning.

I couldn't wake him.

I think he died of a broken spirit.

And a lot of work.

What about my father?

Also, a cleric, Lucio.

Your mother met him when she was there on vacation.

A distant cousin.

They fell very much in love.

He was killed in a fishing accident.

You know what I'm saying?

It's time for bed.

But mom, grandfather was just telling him about dad.

I said it's time for bed.

Very clever boy, my Dante.

Good night, Rosemary.

If you say so, Papa.

One day I'm going to Sicily.

Grandfather promised.

I'll go to the house where we were born.

Only one tiny room.

And look, now we have so many.

Don't listen to him.

I told you that.

I love him.

I loved him too.

And I trusted him.

Your grandfather is a liar.

He lied about your father.

Your father wasn't some distant cousin.

He didn't live in Sicily.

Is he your father?

This is Jimmy.

Jimmy sent out you.

I loved him.

And your grandfather had him killed.

And are waiting.

No, Mom.

They thought they were so clever.

With their masks and their special clothes.

But I knew where they were.

My own brothers.

Your uncles.

They stood there and they waited for the order.

It's not true.

My uncles wouldn't hurt you and grandfather would have killed them if they did.

Your grandfather gave the order.

Don't you ever tell anyone I told you this.

And I tell you we were your own good.

Don't ever trust them.

Because to them you always be a son, Dottie.

Watch this, Pippity.

This is really cute.

But I recognize that scam immediately as soon as I saw the daily reports.

I mean, his markers were high, even for one of the burgers, junkets.

Where's the stick?

Where's the boxman?

I know where they are now.

Dottie.

And they'll never work in his town again.

You see these photos?

These are his customers.

All phony identities.

They were having a picnic and they stuck me for almost a million dollars.

What made him think that he can get away with it?

He's going to try to convince you he's an innocent victim.

Well, he's not going to convince me.

When he catch a plane to New York at noon, don't you worry Alfred.

We're going to take care of this for birdies and mine.

You should have stayed up at the lodge, relax.

Right, and had a great vacation without you.

I've had it, Pippity.

I want to go back to school and get my degree.

Come on, it's just a business trip.

Oh, so that's why you want to take cross with you?

He wants to go.

Besides, I thought it would be a good way for him to get to know his cousin's better.

Yeah, well, he'd be a lot better off if he never even knew his cousins.

They own this, Pippity.

They own you and me and cars in this house and everything in it.

Then there was a problem.

You don't have any trouble spending the money.

Yeah, well, I got sicked in, okay?

The easy life.

I knew what you were doing when you left this house with the gun.

I tried to stay clean and shut my eyes up.

My hands are bloody too, and I don't want my kids in it.

Do you understand?

I call you when I get to New York.

You don't care about your children.

Don't you ever say that.

Don't you ever say I don't love my kids.

I think they look like Martians, actually.

You know their figs.

You see that, Virginia?

The boys got quick hands.

What do you want to be when you're real up?

Tuck, tuck, tuck.

No, no, no, guys.

No, guys.

Good-looking boys.

They're going to break the girls' hearts.

How about you, Croz?

I want to be like my father.

Of course, swimming.

Get that out of here.

Good.

Go, see you.

And be careful, okay?

Money's all give it up, Pop.

He's right, Uncle.

Cross is a natural.

Fearless, good aptitude for guns, common danger, never squeamish.

The children should never follow enough footsteps.

I don't even want them to know the price that's been paid for their happy destiny.

Look, what happened to my daughter?

How is Rosemary?

I'm sorry.

Perhaps this is the wrong time.

No, no, it's all right.

Virginia is a friend.

He knows Rosemary has spells, but the boy is good.

Shot boy.

All my grandchildren.

And his baby, Petey's boy is good children.

So, uh, what do you think about this rascal for Bert?

Look at these photos.

They're giving a living.

He grows greedy.

At our expense.

I mean, Petey know these guys.

I know these guys come.

Good.

You can straighten them up.

What do you want me to do with Forbera?

I want the money back, and I want these Mascalsoni's punished.

That's it!

Dad!

What do you call them?

Dad!

What the hell

is going on here?

Don't you try to hold her in the water?

Why would you want to hurt her?

Because she's calling it a bastard.

Here we go.

Don't answer it, your mother.

Doesn't Bondi have a father?

His father's dead.

Come on.

No, no.

Mama.

You're still up?

Mama.

What's the matter with your mother?

There was a doctor here this morning.

Mommy.

She's all right.

Call, I want you to come and eat breakfast.

What are their names?

Secret.

Not a lot of secrets.

Hey, listen.

I want your kids making any noise.

Your mom needs your rest.

Don't disturb her.

You understand?

And you?

Stay out of trouble with your cousin.

Got it?

Don't bother the Don, either.

Are you gonna go into the city?

Never mind where I'm going.

I swear, my mother's life, I have nothing to do with him.

Come on, Danny.

Gromveld has the tapes and your buddy's already fussed up.

Just give back the money and maybe I can square things for you.

No, no, no.

I know those boys.

That's tough.

They won't talk.

Well, it's the Cladacuccio who we're asking for her to... Huh?

I know that out there.

Now you do?

What am I saying?

Shut down.

I'm just picking doctors directly.

Hey, there's no big deal.

Just get the money back.

Well, you have to show a little respect.

You can give back a hundred grand and we'll take your marker for the rest.

And get your fifty.

Well, that's good.

That's very good.

You can pay back the rest by not taking your fee for running junkets.

Don't worry.

Join the food.

Oh, this is terrific, Danny.

Hey.

Don't want to do business.

Grow up your feet here.

Ah, gladsy, gladsy.

Get inside.

It's welcome.

My way to make a feast.

Oh, fair!

Let me do the coke.

Hi.

Hi.

Hello there, Junior.

Get the pippy and it's fun to come to dinner.

We miss you, pippy.

I think it's the same in the enclave anymore.

I mean, it's you can have all your favorites.

You better be hungry.

If I'm sealed.

I tell her, handsome boy, come look if she's running by.

Go get her class.

Ah, gladsy.

Then we...

Seal?

Why?

Your mother says come to dinner.

Don't be afraid.

I'm not like my cousin, don't you?

I'm not afraid.

It's mountain.

So we can eat?

No.

Why?

Don't you like ravioli?

I like ravioli, but I don't like boys.

You better come out then.

So we can eat it.

Oh.

They say if you burnt her through the coop.

No, no, no.

He's gone someplace to collect her money.

I got a good source.

He's gone underground.

He disappeared.

That skinny bastard.

The old man's going to be furious.

Maybe you should have did the deed when you could have... It's a lot of cash.

I wanted to recoup some of it.

First.

I'll get some men from the enclave on it.

We'll scour the city.

He'll turn up.

Yippee.

De juneo.

Amajai.

Vela familia.

And you.

You're going to slouch yourself.

Jam, Jam.

What have you been doing?

Stop it, Daddy.

Daddy, I don't even like him.

You brought you, brought you, come and sit down.

Come over here, son.

Eh?

Let that be an example.

When they say they don't like you, that means they're... You're right here.

Never mind.

Come over here, brought you.

You eat this food.

This is the best you'll get outside of Sicily.

You're right, son.

That's the end.

The kittens.

Oh, no.

No.

Don't.

Don't do that.

Don't do that.

Why?

They are gods, creatures!

They have done nothing to hurt you, innocent creatures.

They're only kittens, not people.

What?

Stay in bed, Rosemary.

It's nothing.

You killed people.

My mother said...

Your blood is too strong.

That's the trouble.

Too strong to mix.

What did they tell you?

Only for best is in there having lunch.

We'll get them to a more secure location.

It's a bad restaurant.

I don't know why we got it all the time.

Danny!

Don't be stupid!

He's right over there!

You've got lawyers on us?

We'll be out on bail in a few hours.

I sent Vincent to pick him up.

Look, Pop, it doesn't look good.

There are eyewitnesses.

Spread some money around.

They have their names.

Memories fail, juries can be bought.

Sojourne, the Clercusio family does not have to shoot

us while you're out of trouble like some mad dog.

Don't be afraid.

Another thing.

His wife and children must attend a trial.

Pippi says she won't come.

I don't care what you have to do.

Get her here.

Claudia, cross.

Hey!

Hey, kiddo.

We missed you so much.

We couldn't make it here.

Hey, help me.

What's going on inside of me now?

Go on, go on.

Go on, go on.

Thanks for coming.

So, how bad is it?

Well, it doesn't look too good.

I need you.

What sort of jury can look out and see us, the, um, happy, innocent little family?

I wanted you here because you're my wife.

Because I love you.

Believe it or not.

Did you say I seen it?

It was him.

My memory goes.

You see Mr. Delana?

Now?

I see him.

Did you see him?

October 14, 1977 at the scene of the shooting.

Now that you say he's a...

I... can't be sure.

I recognize him.

I don't think he's the one that did it.

You don't think this man is the perpetrator?

There was another guy.

I think there was another guy.

Sergeant Keller.

You said here in your written report that,

uh, you saw the defendant here, Mr. Delana.

Dropped the gun and kicked it into the gun.

Yeah.

I think somebody told me that.

I wrote it.

But I've been thinking about it and I think somebody told me.

That's who I wrote it.

I followed the scum.

Dan Fubarda out of my restaurant because he didn't pay his damn check.

I saw everything.

The shooter was definitely not Pippy Delana.

The shooter had red hair and a scarf kind of plaid.

The shoes was run over.

I noticed the shoes.

It's on.

I got

my teaching degree.

They've offered me a job in Boise.

I can't live this way anymore.

Do you think you can just take my children off?

Look, have your lawyer talk to my lawyer.

So I'm back in court again.

I wanted to force Pippy.

It's over.

You've driven me away.

You can't make me love you again.

I accept that.

You're right.

But you won't take the kids.

What do you say?

Be reasonable and I'll be reasonable.

Be tough.

After all these years.

All the times we've held each other.

Dance together.

We've raised our children.

Let's come down to this.

I want my son.

I want her awesome.

Now you don't.

I just want an ally.

Blood relative.

Something you can trust in.

You're grooming him.

Don't you think I see it?

He wanted to be a killer.

Just like his father.

Jerry found me innocent.

Let's just say I found you guilty.

I'm staying with Mom.

I'm going with Cross.

You kids want me living here all alone?

Without my family?

It's a big house.

What would I do with all this?

Look, Pippi.

There's nothing more to talk about, okay?

Choose which one you want to take.

What?

You heard me.

You can't have them both.

So choose.

What are you crazy?

I can't choose.

Isn't it enough that they love you more than they love me?

That they'd miss you more than they would me?

Come on, Cross.

I'll go with that.

You can go up the boys and visit us often, is it like?

My God, Pippi, what are you blind?

He's still a little boy and he needs his mother.

He's afraid of what you might do to need.

He goes against you.

It's okay, Mom.

Come with us, you guys.

Come on.

You're not taken very much.

I don't need very much.

You're okay.

You're sure you're okay.

I'm sure, Mom.

I want you to promise to eat decent meals.

Okay?

Not just junk.

And, um... And you keep up with your studies.

Okay?

I want to see all your grades.

Okay.

Okay.

Oh, and your dentist.

Don't forget your appointment on the start.

Okay.

I won't forget mine.

It'll be just like you're here.

Oh, you won't be.

Oh, God, Cross.

Please understand.

Please understand.

I don't know.

I understand.

I do.

I do.

Claudia, aren't you even going to say goodbye?

I can't.

Bye.

Bye.

You know what I think?

I think your mother and sister will be running back here in a week.

This one of your mother gets the taste of the real world.

I spoiled it.

That's what I did.

Well, I don't know what I did.

Come on.

So, there's something to eat.

Where do I go?

You cut your clobbers out of the hotel.

Doesn't matter.

Oh, I guess we got to eat somewhere.

Look, I know you're going to miss your mom and sister, but look at it this way.

It's like having two families.

That's better than one.

We're all going to live happily ever after.

But I don't know if we can try it.

Crochet Fiesle was a natural student.

He watched everything and absorbed all that he saw.

He was working full time at the Zamanu Hotel by the time he was 20.

He was one of the few people from felt trusted.

He enjoyed life with his father, too.

Pippi, poor to be a good parent.

That is, he made Crochet Fiesle in his image.

What a shot.

Yes.

This kid could be on the circuit.

His father has other plans, Governor.

He stinks of a hustler.

I'm glad he's on my team.

Thanks, Dad.

Come on.

Darling, what do you care?

You're an engaged lady.

I'll tell you about that, Alfred.

No.

Yeah, she's throwing her life away on some Greek jerk loser for Mickey-Nose.

Daddy?

I think what she really needs is a fine young man with the future.

What do you say, Crochet?

I don't know.

I think I'd be worse than the Greek jerk for Mickey-Nose.

I told you, his father has other plans.

Well, you change your mind.

All right, hit it hard, darling.

Dante quits school in his 16th year.

It was a disappointment to me.

He worked for Jojo in Wall Street office.

And that bought him.

He settled in with P.D.'s construction company.

He said he liked working outdoors.

Yeah, we've been off already.

Hey, Dad.

The boy was cool.

Direct, sly, cunning, charming, and ferocious.

A legal mix.

This one is Michael.

Michael, where's Michael?

There's he been a good boy, is he?

No!

Back in North Pole.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Give him another shot, go ahead there.

You're not Santa Claus?

Of course I am.

You know, you're Uncle Virginia!

I thought you were Santa.

Look at Virginia.

He's a born clown.

And his daughter's here.

But I thought she grabbed me, some of you.

And you remember the course?

Yeah, she did.

You know, one's my heart.

See you boys come up so handsome.

Auntie, don't you feel so?

Because it's too long ago you boys were sharing the same crib.

Merry Christmas.

I'm going.

Are you getting a lot of bitches out there in Vegas?

No?

What do you mean?

I mean, if I come out, are you gonna hook me up?

I'm really not so good at that, don't they?

Maybe I ask your dad.

Maybe he'd be good at that.

Hey, my father's in a pet, don't they?

He's too busy killing people, right?

What the hell are you talking about?

Cross.

Your dad takes people out.

And he's the number one hammer for the family.

Listen, I don't know that.

And you don't know that.

Why don't you get the dumb head?

Your mother gave it to me.

She didn't get you one?

Cross?

Can you play that?

No!

You weren't so hard.

Seal.

Seal Palazzo.

I know you are, Seal.

I wasn't sure if you'd remember.

Of course I remember.

I went to your house, my dad, for dinner, and you hid under your bed.

Yeah, I was a little embarrassed.

I kind of had a crush on you.

I don't remember that.

Leave me.

I would have done something about it.

Um... I thought you went to your mother's.

For Christmas.

Yeah, but this year's different.

My dad wanted me to come here.

I guess it's not my cousin's a little better.

You're not a cousin, are you?

No.

I've been wanting to do that since...

that day in the swimming pool when you saved my life.

Don't pay any attention to Dante.

It's such a creep.

Somebody might come.

I don't know where you'll come.

Maybe we should do it.

I didn't do the bed.

I got a call uncle.

Governor Waven's daughter has been murdered.

She was killed in Los Angeles.

Her ex-fiancee has already caught the plea of temporary insanity.

Watch this best it'll get off.

Wait and see.

One man's tragedy.

Can be another man's opportunity.

You can still have the governor in our hip pocket.

Thank you.

What's the money?

No, not thanks.

So what are you thinking about Christmas?

What do you think it'll be?

No, not really.

Dad.

Dante told me something.

Dante, yeah.

Yeah, well, I can't expect trouble.

Don Clercuzzio, he doesn't see it.

He said that...

He told me that you're the number one hammer.

And that you kill people.

Dante talks too much.

You shouldn't listen to Dante.

Is it true?

There's a lot of ugliness in this world, son.

Dad, it doesn't matter to me.

It doesn't matter what you do.

I still love you.

Mr. Leake, governor.

The architect was flown in fresh this morning.

A little slime ball, Greek little life.

Stag, my daughter to death.

Almost cut her head off.

And now he's going on with his life as a free man.

Walter, you're letting your family down.

Your friends.

You're letting the people live Nevada down.

You must get on with your life.

The hell with the people of Nevada?

Who cares?

I do.

Look, I'll put the money together.

You must run for senator in the next election.

You have to put this behind you.

You can't let it destroy your life.

It's been over six months.

I don't think so.

I don't think I can do it.

I don't think I can go out there and shoot the bull anymore.

I mean, I just don't believe it.

Not all that little bastard has a lot to do.

I want him dead.

I want him dead.

Run for senator, dammit.

There's so much he can do.

I think the voting public has content for me.

I mean, a man that will allow his daughter

to get murdered won't see the man punished.

I mean, who would?

Who wouldn't trust the welfare of the great state of Nevada to a man like that?

Walter, look at you.

You and I must be very direct.

You run for senator?

This man is dead.

I'll file the day I go to that boy's funeral to show my forgiveness.

My voters will love that.

Waving moves himself together and could go all the way.

First senator, then the president.

If that happens, we got a good shot at getting

legalized sports gambling all over the country.

Could be worth billions to the Clercusia.

That's right.

I'm glad you flew out, Georgia.

I think it's time to cross meet his bones.

Don wouldn't improve.

He wants all of his grandchildren to stay out of it.

You know that was always his goal.

No, it's not his grandchild.

As his father, I think I know it's the best of my son.

He's had all the gravy.

Now it's time for him to earn his living.

Big step.

You think he'll do it?

I'll talk to him.

You're generating a lot of heat?

You want the governor to escape any innuendos

from his enemies in the press and that damn TV.

Maybe it's too tricky for Cross to make his bones on him.

No, it's perfect for him.

It's not a good time.

Rosamari, she's back at the clinic.

And her boy Dante's been giving us a lot of trouble.

Hey, it's gonna be my ass on the line.

All right.

I'll talk to the Don.

I, uh, won't live forever, you know.

You have to be in solid with the Kletikutsil family.

I understand.

That guy that killed the governor's daughter.

Great piece of crap.

He's gonna get away with it.

It's not right.

And the governor's our friend.

Cross.

I remember now.

You can always say no.

But I need you to help me out on a job I have to do.

You mean I have to make my bones.

I'll do all the planning.

I'll be with you all the way.

There's no danger.

You have to be the shooter.

So what do you say?

Well, Jeff, he's so liked his easy life, but that was a price.

A man must earn his daily bread.

Still, he ate for a more innocent world.

The world that was lost to him forever.

If you want me, it better be nice.

A world my grandson never knew.

You want me?

What do you think?

Catch you.

You can love what you can.

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Yeah, Uncle Toradeil.

Listen, I'm in trouble.

I don't want my mother or my grandfather.

No, right?

Just tell me what you did.

I killed somebody.

Where are you?

Haven't you seen four streets?

Listen, I didn't mean to.

We were just fooling around.

Are you being followed?

No.

Nobody knows it was in her apartment.

Alright, somebody up there, you'll be surely.

What about her?

Well, take care of her.

How do you know where to?

Damn it!

They know everything.

God has created a perilous world and mankind has made it even more dangerous.

I only hope to God my loved ones safely through life.

Am I not a Christian?

Would a holy chapel in my own home?

Bante and crochefi saw.

They were babies together, sharing the same baby carriage.

Sweet, innocent babies.

But who knew what seeds of evil already lay in those unphoned human minds?

My estate and clog were surrounded by a brick wall.

Armed with barbed wire and electronic sensors.

Soldiers stood guard night and day.

But the great danger was from within the rise of Dante.

What do you wait a stupid hat for?

Does it make me look like a gangster?

Don't joke with me.

Don't.

Hey, look.

That girl, she's not.

If she meant so little to you, then why did you do it?

Because I take after my grandfather.

I guess it's silly and blunt.

Stop acting like a damn clown.

The family does not take risk.

We would never commit such an act unless we had a good reason.

Yeah, well, maybe I want respect, huh?

Maybe I want the same kind of respect that you give to that slime ball that killer.

Pippy, huh?

He's a killer.

Pippy has a good heart.

What he does is never for pleasure.

So what are you saying?

You saying that I don't have a good heart?

Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Dante.

She was a young girl.

That girl was a little whore.

Like the rest of them.

Is it Donald?

Here's grandson.

He would break his heart.

He would break his heart.

The Don has a heart and Pippy has a heart and cross.

There's a Mr. Chicken heart.

And my mother, she's got a broken heart.

At me?

I don't have a heart.

What about you, Uncle George?

You got a heart?

Yeah, I still put up with you.

You don't think I have any rings, either?

You know, I love all you guys and you don't give a damn about me.

Oh, that's not true, Dante.

We've always cared about you.

What's going to happen to me when my grandfather dies?

I mean, Pippy's going to take over and he and Cross are

going to join up with all that Xanadu revenue behind him.

I should be included in the family business.

I'm his grandson.

Don never wanted you to be involved.

What, why don't you talk to him?

I mean, help me out.

Talk to him.

All right, I'll see what I can do.

Get rid of the hat.

Look, it's better not to stand down there for how to call attention to yourself.

Do you understand?

Listen, dead guys don't talk.

If I'm on a job, I'm going to kill everybody then.

Stop acting like an idiot.

Hey, what'd they do with her body?

It was a communion.

The body will never be found.

Father's always one of the better life of his sons.

It is primal.

My father was broken by a hard life and tragedy.

He wanted more for me.

I made my bones in New York City when I was 14 years old to change me forever.

And now, Cochifiso was reaching toward his own destiny.

His father pressing the accelerator on the endeavor.

It's business.

Trick is never to get caught.

Never big industry throws out 50,000 employees.

It's just business.

Cigarettes kill thousands of people.

What are you going to do?

People are going to smoke.

Can't ban an industry that's generating billions of dollars.

People have to earn a living.

That's the first thing.

So, how do we do this?

Simply.

Very, very simply.

But when we get fancy, we can get real fancy.

This will be a confirmation, which means the body will be found.

The communion is when the body disappears.

Hey, Hippie, how you doing?

Right, Tommy.

How are you?

We got some great food by the court.

Come on, make yourselves at home.

Hey, you want to take a swim?

We didn't bring our suits.

This is Hollywood.

You can go bare ass down here.

What are you talking about?

It's a matter of nervous, Tommy.

Take a look at these.

The target.

The Greeky.

The old catouse.

He drives from Brentwood up to Oxnard every weekend to visit his girlfriend.

Let's come back and get a girlfriend.

You don't understand women's son?

They're like it, they're pissing his sink.

Listen to your father, he knows.

Now that's his car, his license plates.

All right.

Our surveillance reports are shown.

Every Monday, he drives down from Oxnard, from the girlfriend's.

In this place.

Ham and eggs.

He usually gets there early, around 6 a.m.

Surveillance will report us when he's on his way.

I got a car for you in the driveway.

There's going to be a car in front of you and one in the rear.

A third car will be parked at the cafe.

In case of an emergency.

What am I, a mirage?

Bring me a steak over here.

A little silencer.

Only makes a little pop.

I don't like to use a silencer.

You gotta call it one once.

I got a glock if we need it.

It's got more punch.

There's his car over there.

Smooth as silk.

This whole operation.

Just the way I like it.

We've got about 50 minutes.

Yeah, well, it's early.

Here he comes.

That's him.

He looks different.

What do you mean different?

I don't know.

He looks frail.

He's a frail to be a murderer.

Hey, you getting sentimental with me?

He stabbed the governor's daughter in the eyes.

Don't forget that.

Go on.

How you doing?

You're playing it perfectly.

It always goes perfectly.

How you doing?

You alright?

Yeah, I'm great.

I'm fine.

Governor Walter Raven would never forget his death to the Clericuzio family.

Even after he became Senator.

As for Roger Fisson, he was now a made man.

Little Hammer.

Son of Big Hammer.

Tell me.

You'll see it's made like that Las Vegas.

And Hammer.

Now you can put some on once like cardboard.

Tasteless.

Alright.

Need it.

There's need to be washed.

Afraid of old dirt?

The hearing of Balazzo has broken the vow of silence.

It was informed by his lawyer this morning.

Balazzo has opened a special at the US Attorney's office.

How could he do this?

We've made him rich.

He has houses in Jersey and Florida and that damn horse farm in Kentucky.

What has turned him traitor is that the government threatens

to seize all his worldly goods under the rico laws.

Now Balazzo can't bear that he and his children will lose everything.

He's bargaining with the government to testify in court.

Now he and his wife will be put into the witness

protection program, but they can't stop us.

If he squeals, we'll set up headquarters overseas.

What are you talking about?

I love America.

I won't be driven from my home by a trailer.

I love America to a strictly financed.

He's sent a message to Virginia.

One of them makes sense to him.

He speaks one word about the Clericuzio.

His children, his grandchildren are forfeit.

His daughter's CEO.

She was sweet on you as I remember.

I haven't seen her for years.

Yes.

But both of you liked each other.

Yeah, sure, we liked each other, but that was a long

time ago when you will deliver the message to seal.

Hi, I'm meeting Croft Elena.

Yes, right this way.

Thank you.

Hey.

See you, Balazzo.

You're a little more horrific.

It's so good to see you again.

Look at you.

Thank you.

Yes, well.

It's a full-time job, you know, hair, nails, trainers.

My God, it's yours.

Um, yes, I'll have a sparkle of water, please.

Thank you.

So, as I recall, I wrote you from college.

And you never answered my letter.

I know.

I'm sorry, I'm not much of a letter writer.

I was devastated.

I'm sorry.

Remember that Christmas?

Miatic.

How can I forget?

Oh, you're so young.

So young, so innocent, so hot.

Nothing has ever been that good since.

I really loved you, Croft, because I still do.

Me too.

Thank you.

I have a beautiful little girl.

Her name is Dana.

She's so smart too.

Sticking flamenco dancing.

That's her.

Of course she gets a little bitchy when she puts on those shoes.

I'm sorry.

I guess it's a little boring looking at pictures in my kids.

No, no, not at all.

It's just...

You didn't really want to see me.

I called because of this mess my father said.

All right?

It's an unfortunate situation.

Don Clercusio hopes your dad has only good memories of the Clercusio family.

But Don told you to tell me that?

He just wants Virginiao to know that he's looking after his interests and that he

guarantees the safety of his children and his grandchildren.

Is my little girl in danger?

Just tell me that.

It's a delicate situation.

You're threatening me, my family, right?

The hell have they done to you?

Virginiao Balazzo, a top mafia dog, has spilled the beans so to speak.

He gave evidence today in a federal court, implicating dozens of underworld figures.

Including Macaroni Barram Roberto Santalisa of Louisiana.

In other news, severe flooding.

Not a word of Clercusio.

Good work, Cross.

Now, the job must be finished.

Pop, I don't think it's worth the heater or the publicity.

The heat, the publicity, is what makes the work doing.

Come over, Mayor.

Of our silence, cannot be broken.

Excuse me, Don Clercusio.

But he did what you asked.

He never implicated you or the family.

But he talked, Croci Fisau.

And what would happen if some other rooster decides the cruff?

That man must be punished and restrained, even if it means a sentence of death.

There can be no excuse, no mitigating circumstance, no appeal to Biddy.

What about his wife?

A good woman.

An excellent cook.

But she's become too American.

I can't allow a bereaved widow to shout her grief in secrets.

Children?

Grandchildren?

We leave them alone.

I must apologize for my son.

He's young and the younger sentimental.

He's very fond of the Balazzo families, we all know.

And me too.

I never liked the man embedded in Virginia Balazzo.

But he committed a greater fence.

My apologies, Don Clercusio.

But I can't do it.

I don't want to participate in this operation.

Perhaps it's time to bring Dante into the business.

No, no, not Dante.

Pop.

You have other grandchildren.

Piddy's boy Thomas is going to be an engineer.

You have a granddaughter who writes for the magazines.

But Dante, he's not going to make it.

He's a killer, Pop.

It's in his jeans.

Now, if we don't use him, somebody else will.

Maybe Georgio is right.

Maybe it's time to bring Dante in.

I promised this mother.

She's living in another world, Pop.

She doesn't even recognize him half the time.

I have such plans for the boys.

No faces.

Dante's never going to become president.

Pippy, can you work with him?

He's immature, unpredictable.

It's true.

But he's a natural.

He's ambitious, Pop.

As a killer, he's better than Cross will ever be.

Go to your fusile.

Go to your fusile.

You have a tender heart.

Never fear.

Turn behind.

Pippy penetrated the witness protection program with huge bribes.

Virginia O'Bellazzo was living in South Dakota in a small town.

New identities, birth certificate, social security numbers of the works.

But whole habits die hard.

They found him in a small time gambling joint.

That's him.

And his wife.

We'll be together.

We're going to sit here.

We're going to go.

Where did these guys go?

Look at them.

Come on, fellas.

Let's go.

Oh, my God.

Virginia, what's happening?

Don't worry.

Take me.

Not my wife.

It's me and my wife.

Uncle Virginia.

My grandfather sends us regards.

At night when you close your eyes, I hope you see the faces of my mother and father.

See you.

Wait a minute.

The blood is on you, Cross.

See you, please.

Sleep well.

Mr. Groenfeld's waiting.

Groenfeld surveyed the casino daily.

But if he was learning to find out how to make

people happy while they were getting skinned.

He had a taste for showgirls.

But Groenfeld told them love was like gambling.

Bad percentages.

When Alfred Groenfeld died, he left Crocefizo,

his controlling interest in his honor to hotel.

51%.

Leaving the Caracusia with 49.

It was an advantage that would infuriate my grandson,

Dante, and increase the rivalry between them.

I want to thank you for making Cross your glory in the West while I'm gone.

I'm sure he won't disappoint you.

Do I know that?

I have as much trust in him as I have for you.

But two years away, it seems a long time.

Two years insistently as prudent.

We've always managed to escape public notice.

The times have changed.

You know that Preston, he just mafia stuff up.

Dante, we can protect.

He's still a UFO.

Are you pipping?

I know you.

Hey, hey, pippy.

Just for your safety.

Until all the talk of justice, our TV and the news dies down.

How do you rate Dante after the Blozzo operation?

You can be frank.

Dante has a bloody mouth.

It takes too much pleasure in his work.

He revealed himself.

Because he has to play a big shot, and he wants recognition.

He was a stupid ass.

Well, the lovely boy was.

His mother, she fills his head.

Widows are like spiders.

It's been too much.

Georgia, instruct your nephew.

Repair his fault.

It'll be dangerous to all of us.

I would like to see you all dead.

Actually, I'd just like to see you all ripped up.

What did you get dressed?

Your legs, your arms, your heart.

Your tongues.

The cowards.

The cowards.

I am behind your masks.

And you.

You would make his coward of them all, aren't you?

Mm-hmm.

Can't you leave the house?

Because you know you'll be dead.

You're trapped behind these walls, aren't you?

Mm-hmm.

You are more.

You just stay here and hide behind your children.

And your grandson.

You gave me your word that done to him and not be brought into this bloody business.

And he'll fly to me.

Let me get you some mail, Steve.

Hey, no!

Come on, let's go upstairs.

Rosemary.

Rosemary.

Give me a rosemary.

I wanted to show you something.

When you're in Sicily, I really hope you die.

I would rather die in Sicily than return to find you like this.

Crochet, if you so knew the smell of death, the sound of it, the look.

But it had been anonymous, impersonal, until the night his sister Claudia called.

He had been torn from his mother as a boy, and now he was going to lose her again.

Rosemary.

This time, for good.

Claudia.

Mom.

What's gross?

You mustn't play with guns.

What, ma?

Your father, he gave you a gun.

Oh, yeah.

That was a long time ago.

You don't play with guns anymore?

Oh, ma.

I don't play with guns anymore.

Oh, cross.

I'm so mixed up.

I thought I was in the kitchen.

And you were coming up from school.

Oh, yeah.

But it's a hospital, isn't it?

Yeah, Mom.

It's a hospital.

But we're here.

We're not going to leave.

We're going to stay right here with you.

Here, ma.

You're not the Clercusio.

Ma, you remember?

I don't know what that was, but it is.

Forgive me, Rose.

Please forgive me.

Mom, it's nothing to forgive.

Okay, I'm fine.

Dad's taking good care of me.

And I'm not in my family.

You were my little bully.

I left you with a killing.

Mom, why?

My god, Dad didn't come.

You loved it, buddy.

You really loved it.

Well, I didn't want him here.

You knew it and she.

I hope I never see him again.

What are you?

He's her father.

I don't have a father.

Cross.

You're really not in the family?

I'm clean.

Stop worrying, okay?

I'm clean.

Sissy, the land of my childhood.

A place I could never return to.

I had established an empire in American soil, but the price was high.

So it was Crocefiso who went to bring his father home after two years.

From a land soaked in blood where assassinations were almost commonplace.

And where Crocefiso met an assassin who had become his closest friend in ally.

An assassin who was unwavering loyalty would break my family and my heart.

The land is used up, polluting.

The kids have no more.

Same in America, yes?

Yes.

Same in America.

Oh.

Mommy.

What is it?

Some hatches from Italy come down here to wipe out the mud.

The mud gets on white in my purse.

One

tree may be devolved by the vaults.

Come on, boy.

Come on, boy.

Come on, boy.

He's your meal.

Hey, you look, where were you?

Take a little from Ottercate.

Some magic straight from Rome.

Took us 40 miles out of the way.

I was afraid this would happen.

Politicians from Italy come down here to trudging Sicily.

Now it'll be hell to pay.

But you look good, huh?

You too, Pop.

How's business?

Good.

Is that a good small grape?

Motor scooters.

Everywhere you turn.

Just to be quiet here in the old days when I came here as a boy.

I tell you, it's... It's good I come back to America again.

I don't know, Pop.

This place looks pretty nice to me.

Yeah, but I've got my head on Vegas.

Gracigena.

So, what about Dante?

He killed a couple of guys over some personal quarrel without the family okay.

Giorgio didn't want to tell it done.

I'm gonna have to straighten him out when I get back.

Listen.

Tomorrow, we're gonna go recruit some men.

The Don says that Sicilians make the best soldiers.

He feels that Americans are too soft.

They're too easily turned into informants.

I mean, he's probably vague.

What about you?

Any plans on getting married?

No girlfriends, Pop.

Oh, huh?

You're not a... No boyfriends either.

Well, I think it's time you thought about settling down getting married.

Be careful.

Don always told me the one mistake I made was getting married for love.

That was... That was... That was...

Tell me something.

Did your mother ever ask about me before she died?

Never mentioned my name.

She was a princess.

So beautiful.

I just never knew how to make her happy.

Tell me about your sister.

I'm glad you.

She's an entertainment law.

She says the villains are less bloody and have a better sense of humor.

But I don't suppose she wants to talk to me either.

Sorry, Pop.

Hey.

What?

What in here?

You are snarimoto, I beg no.

Hey, daddy, close!

Boy, I'm a daddy, I've seen you, baby!

Do it!

The honorable mayor himself.

Say hi, Tony.

What can I do for you?

I can't say.

I need you help.

Many girls.

I have to be very careful that I could see your... particular.

The assassination will make world headlines.

If they find him, he's a dead man.

You are the only one who can help us.

He is the ultimate quality guard.

An expert in explosives.

He lives at the rope.

The knife and gun, of course.

He is intelligent.

You speak really English.

He never talks.

But he has the gift to Lucientans.

But can a man of your education and qualification be happy in America...

in the service of another man?

You have a son.

What would you do to save him?

I want my wife and children safe.

For that I will do my duty.

I have to feel that the benefits outweigh the risks.

It would be better if you came alone.

No.

My family would live together or die together.

But the problem is to hide you and your family.

America is vast.

Would your father ever deserve to you?

No.

How about the hunting lodge in the Sierra's?

You can take care of it with his family or his keep.

It's isolated.

It'd be perfect.

It's a good idea.

We can use you for special jobs.

So, it's done.

We'll fly you to San Francisco, where you will be met by a member of the family.

They'll take you to the lodge.

Gras.

I want to thank you for saving my wife and children.

Okay.

Dan Clerikout here.

It's been too long.

What did you think you saw?

Dan Clerikout here.

How is this thing?

How is this thing?

How is this thing?

Dante?

I think you're going to like this.

It's made from grapes from the villa.

So you're wearing another legged in the world.

Thank God my stomach's still strong enough to drink.

It's at least changed, uncle.

Now they play rap music in the square at Palazzo Spucci and Fanocchi.

Hang out and see Piazza Santoliva.

Progress.

It's your turn, Piazza.

Sit, sit, sit.

You're glad.

Rosemarie!

Come and join us.

I will not drink with you, Piazza Laina.

Nothing's changed.

We grow older and we die.

I'm looking forward to that.

Mom, I'm so beautiful.

I'll be in the kitchen next to you, Amy.

Grandpa, she's been slaving all day in the kitchen.

She made your favorite for Laina.

She's doing so much better.

We have a problem.

We should have dressed before dinner.

Piazza.

It involves one of your gamblers.

A man named Tim Swedden.

Take Tim the wrestler.

He contributes a few million to his cage every year.

Here he's been fixing games in the Midwest, shaving points on pro games,

bribing officials, players.

Just big Tim, this wrestler.

He's come up with this crazy scheme like he thinks he can fix the Super Bowl.

Yeah, it's a tricky, dangerous business.

You know him, Coach, if you so.

What do you say?

He's small potatoes.

Let's see.

Let it go.

Could struck a fate of blow to all our efforts

to get gambling legalized across the country.

Now the police throw more manpower into a

sport fix than they do into a serial killer.

It's not worth the action.

I'll talk to him.

Why do you do that, Pia?

He don't know who you really are.

I give him the advantage.

He is a man who will not listen to reason.

We need to get all the information we can about his plan.

And then we feed his ass to the fishes.

We have no choice.

Son, you invite him to Vegas.

Throw a lavish party.

Then you introduce him to me.

This doesn't make any sense.

This guy is harmless.

It's a matter with you.

I'm asking for an introduction.

I'll do the job.

Baby.

Don't ever do the job.

He's proven himself where you were gone.

Then who am I to fight with us in this clear cuisine of blood?

I thought long and hard about this.

I want you to think about retiring.

Not at all.

You're old enough to have some peace.

You have a collection agency.

You'll be the advice at the cross.

I really only know Est.

Don Domenico.

I'm not ready to cash you then.

Now you do the planning on this one.

You know the territory.

But Dante will be number one hand.

Here we are, the night we've all been waiting for.

Hundreds of thousands of fans are here.

Camped out all night, hoping you catch a glimpse of their favorite stars.

They're praying to God.

It won't rain.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

I hate to interrupt.

Look who's arriving right now.

What are the hottest actresses in town?

It's not the hottest actress in the world.

Athena Aquatane.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Here she comes.

Athena Aquatane Cross.

She's the most beautiful woman in the world.

She's the most beautiful woman in the world.

She's one fabulous performer.

She's all right.

She's all right.

Hi, Athena.

You certainly seem like you're the one everyone's been waiting for.

You look gorgeous.

Are you nervous?

Oh, well, I put soft in my coffee instead of sugar.

And I don't even drink coffee.

There's a mess you pick.

Holy!

It's so fast!

Oh my God, what's he doing?

It gets close to America.

He's out of his mind.

You all right?

You okay?

It's just water, I think.

It's all right.

It's typical of my husband.

It's okay.

What did you say?

I don't know.

Is she married?

I think I'm okay.

I think we're not sure if we want that person to talk to her.

No, we actually don't know.

That'll work.

Did you see her face when she looked at this man?

Let me know who wins, okay?

That was the beginning of the end.

Crochet Fiso Delaina fell in love at first sight.

Even after all the warnings.

From that moment on, Athena Aquitaine was the only woman in the world he wanted.

No, no, sorry, Ms. Aquitaine.

She's only right now.

Yes, yes, I tell her you fall.

Then I'll go live.

The phone's ringing on the toilet.

This is finally crazy.

Just let the service speak because...

Mr. Scannett.

Mr. Scannett, you're married to Athena Aquitaine.

Is that right?

No, can't see her for ten years or a third surprise.

Well, that surprise landed you in jail last night.

Was it worth it?

Yeah, for my lawyer, it was.

You think your wife's gonna press charges?

But, look, it was the joke.

I had just water.

Maybe she didn't think it was so funny.

Could be, but I'll tell you one thing, Athena will never press charges.

There's no way, no matter what I'd do, Athena Aquitaine, or whatever the hell she

fells herself nowadays, she will never press charges against me.

That sounds rather honest.

Take it any way you want.

One more question.

Claudia?

I'm quitting the picture.

You're my attorney.

You're gonna have to get me out of it.

You can't do that, Athena.

I am.

I'm sorry, but I have to.

I have no other choice.

Listen, Lena's one of the most costly pictures ever made.

I mean, you'd never work again.

My God, Athena, you just won an Academy Award.

Are you gonna throw it away?

Oh, yeah, please, listen.

Just tell the studio that I'm not coming back, okay?

I can't.

He'll kill me.

I know he will.

Wait a second minute here.

I'm dating lady.

Calm down, Dita.

Can't you shoot around her today?

I mean, she's sick.

I don't care.

We're dying out here.

Really sick, throwing up sick.

Big deal beside Athena Aquitaine doesn't throw up.

Dita, she's a real person.

Die or stop.

Okay, whatever.

I'll shoot her up here today, but she better be here tomorrow.

All right.

Guaranteed.

Center flowers or something, okay?

Like tulips.

Lily, Lily of the Valley.

Better.

That'd be nice, Dita.

Bye-bye.

Dita, Jane's not showing up today.

She's puking everywhere.

Last year we were getting the Cadillac.

The son of a bitch gave us grief because it wasn't Mercedes.

So big tell.

What do you think of your new car this year?

Big Tim the Russell was no different than anyone else.

It was enticed to Las Vegas with the promise of money and sex.

We took no chances.

We threw in a classic automobile.

This is one of the happiest days of my life.

Right up there with my divorce.

Now all of these money drive this car back that

way because does that do clean me out again?

The papers wouldn't be in his name from him.

And by that time he'd be dead.

The trap was set.

Ready to spring shut on the rat.

And Dante was the bait.

Come on, come on.

Here we are.

Yes, and now.

Hey, young man.

It's a funny hat.

Why don't you learn how to play this game?

Come on.

I need another marker.

Make it 20,000.

Oh, the phone time out.

Change it up.

Oh, look, look.

Rub a little here.

Oh, crawl.

Hey, hey, crawl, tell me something.

Now, you throw him in his big old party tomorrow

night, but you still won't spring for one of them.

I tell you, villains.

Now, one thing, Tim.

You're right.

Next time you come to Vegas, I guarantee you'll get a villa.

One, two, three.

Can't win a model, it's supposed to be the hat.

That weird kid.

It's the worst crap player I've ever seen in my life.

He went through $200,000 in markers and

lessons, and now, come on, what can you tell me?

I can't tell you about my players.

You know I don't get all that kind of information.

Listen, I make the deal.

Look at the taste.

Now, come on.

I can't.

My father knows it.

His name is Steve Sabia.

You interested in making a little money?

I think I can arrange a meeting.

It's a risk player.

Well, I saw him lose half a million on the World Series once, but in bad and I.

His markers are pure gold.

He's a kink pin for a drug empire on the Eastern seaboard.

Now, that scares you off, you tell me now.

It scares me big time.

As much as this big old lobster scares me.

Since I had that stomach bypass food go right

through my system, I never gained no weight.

What else?

Well, he often has to launder a lot of cash.

Your deal will have to include that.

I love it.

You gotta move fast, though.

See, it's one of them sports things.

When do we meet?

He's coming to LA with me next week.

I'll call you, set it up.

Right.

I think you'll know.

I know.

To meet me by the bar.

Oh, that note.

Look, I'm gonna have to apologize.

I don't drink much.

And I have this type of policy about not dating any of the customers.

Aside from all of that, I'm very tired, so... If you'll excuse me.

You don't... you don't date customers?

You think I'm a customer?

You cross your customer?

Look, you're not supposed to be in here, so I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.

If you do not let go of me, I'll call security.

Go ahead and call them.

Call them.

I own security.

I own them.

I could have you whacked.

I could have you rubbed out.

You know what I mean?

I own this whole thing.

You don't lie to me with little slush.

Or as I get frightened, I can't even sleep when I have a chance.

We're all afraid of something, of being alone or dying.

But you're gonna be okay.

We're looking after you.

Mr. Elena, we've got a problem.

Mr. Elena?

Hi, Tiffany.

How are you?

Hi, Tiffany... I did this.

How are you?

You told me who did this to you.

If you remember her name?

I don't know.

Which is the name?

You are a funny.

You are a funny.

I'm gonna be honest.

Get Dr. Bair.

We'd be the best plastic surgeon in the country, whatever she needs.

Wait, arrange for it.

Tiffany, you're gonna be okay, you hear me?

Everything's gonna be okay.

I don't care what happened.

There's no excuse for this.

Did you see what he did to her?

What does it matter?

She's a whore.

Oh, you want to kill whores?

You want to do drive-bys, walk-ups?

You want to waste somebody just for the fun of it?

Go to LA, join a gang.

You want to blow up an airplane?

Kill a bunch of kids?

Join a terrorist group.

You'll fit right in.

A life means nothing to those people.

What does a life mean to you?

Look, I don't enjoy killing.

But I think you do, and that's dangerous.

So let's get something straight.

We've got a job to do.

We're supposed to meet Big Tim in LA on Thursday.

This is family business.

And that comes first, before anything else.

Anything.

And that means getting laid, love your mother got in country.

You got that?

Did you afford to rent a bigger car?

Where the hell is he?

He's a cautious guy.

He doesn't want anybody to see you with him.

That's the orientation.

I don't give a fine.

Don't let who sees me with him.

I won't see me with him.

Big Tim.

Howdy.

It is to my understanding that you would like to go into business with me.

You got that wrong?

I want you to go into business with me.

So I'll run the show.

Where you shining?

He's my junior partner.

My advisor.

I got the money.

He's got the brains.

He's told me a lot of good things about you, Timmy.

That's why we're talking.

Uh, Kim's ex, the Super Bowl.

I think you're pissing in my house.

Get me out of this dump.

Don't be wasting my time.

The officials is set to fix.

I can't tell you.

But it is full proof.

I had about enough of this.

Wait a minute.

If we keep talking, Big Tim's going to tell us.

How would Big Tim?

Hey, that you fat pig.

I want to hear how this little Super Bowl fix works.

None of this crap is coming out of your fat hick.

BAMBA!

BAMBA!

They talk to us.

They don't do any of this.

You put a wait in it.

You put a dump of car and see if things are already on the boat.

It's too bloody for ya, Pippi!

Maybe he's on blood like a stuck pig.

And I get a look back from Mercy, at the end.

Yeah, he talked.

He bribed the caterer and was supplying food and drinks to the team.

They were gonna use drugs.

Stupid plan.

Cultures of players would notice if the fans didn't.

Scanner would set our program back forever.

Yeah, well, he was an idiot, like most crooks are.

Yeah.

You cut him up and tortured him, didn't you?

Yeah.

What does it matter how you kill him if you kill him?

I'm not working with you again that day.

This is the end.

Don't let it cut you always right.

It's time for me to retire.

Organized crimes sometimes look like child's

play compared to the machinations in Hollywood.

The trappings in movie land were more glamorous, but the carnage still bloody.

I don't know the short notice, but it seemed like a good time for us to talk in.

Yeah.

And Eli and Marion, the head of Logstone Studios, was a

don in his own right with minions to do his dirty work.

How about it, Claudia?

Nice school, Martini.

Uh, whiskey straight.

Uh, the news is that bad.

This won't get some help, please.

This is a check for my client.

Five million dollars, and I'm afraid it's not for the brother to find it.

It's the advance we paid her to do, Miss Alina.

We're screwed.

I can't complete this picture without Athena.

I've shot her under all week.

Look, I want this project as much as you do, but she is afraid for her life.

Now, will you geniuses have better figure out a way

to erase that fear, or wear out 50 million bucks?

Damn it!

I never wanted to make this picture.

You didn't tell you said it was a female Rob Roy, another braver!

Mezzolino, no one ever heard of this shit!

Mezzolino, it's like a Italian restaurant.

Mezzolino's stupid either.

Bobby, that's why we modernize it.

She's a female road warrior.

Come on, it's MTV.

The kids will be lining up around the block.

I can see the music video right now.

I can see the money rolling in.

So, let's just relax.

It sucks!

Now, skippy, you're the producer.

What do we do?

What do we do?

Well, we're gonna have to shut down until she comes back to work.

Shut down.

Shut down.

That's gonna cost us $150,000 a day!

Don't look at me, talk to her lawyer!

Okay, lawyer.

Hey, we'll just get her back to work.

It's not that simple.

She's scared for her life.

Okay, fine.

I guess I'll have to talk to her.

She detests you, Bobby.

Look, I know there's some people who don't like me.

Nobody likes you.

Well, they all sure as hell listen to me.

Nobody listens to you, Bobby.

Claudia.

How much will it cost us to get your client back to work?

This isn't about money, Mr. Marion.

Oh.

And explain very carefully to your client.

If she doesn't return to the set in a week, the

studio abandons the picture and takes the loss.

And we sue her for everything she owns.

She'll never work again.

What the hell?

It's only $50 million?

You can't do that.

This is my baby!

Claudia, you're her best friend.

This is up to you.

Yes, Claudia.

Try to persuade her.

But let's get this thing wrapped up one way or the other.

We have other pictures to make.

No, if you'll excuse me.

I have another meeting.

Yeah.

So do I.

Could I let milk, please?

Man, I'm a show business.

Ah, tough little lawyer.

I am tough.

That's why you like me.

You got a tough little body.

I don't know much for you.

It's in or out of bed.

Now this couldn't be much fun for you.

I'm losing my touch.

I better get back to my party.

You know, I hate Bobby Bance.

It's suspicious.

He's such a slime ball.

You should get rid of him.

Bobby's completely loyal.

He's like my son.

I need him.

He's my hatchet bam.

We've got an armed fortress here.

Hi.

Everybody is so worried.

Claudia, between you and me, I'll be gone in a week.

Where?

I don't know.

Just out of here.

Well, there's some jerk of a husband growing their whole life, am I to?

Listen, I'm really sorry about the picture, Claudia.

You know what I am.

I just, I don't have any choice.

The hell you don't?

You could at least put him behind bars.

Look, I know boss.

Nothing is going to stop him.

If I stay here, I'm never going to finish the picture anyway.

I've been

telling this jerk all morning.

When he went in for a swim, I was hoping he'd drown, but he didn't.

I want to help you.

I'm a big fan.

All you have to do is tell me what he did to you.

You need to be rough tonight.

Nothing.

She was terrified.

He's not supposed to be here.

There's a court order.

So why don't you let me lock this creep up and throw away the key?

Well, I don't think that's what Ms. Aquatine wants to take the blouse in.

We're very close.

Too many secrets.

Can you just take him to his car?

How are we supposed to protect you?

I think you have to press charges.

No, I'll just have the security company sending the guards.

Athena?

I'll see you around, boys.

Let's go.

You're making a big mistake.

But if you ever need to talk to me, just call.

I'll take the gym mostly on the PD.

Thanks.

I've got the movie of your dreams.

What does Buzz have on you?

I'm going to fly to Las Vegas and see my brother.

He knows people.

See in the mafia?

Of course not.

I'm not good at this point.

I could use them, mafia.

But if you so had been warned, love is an emotion that is not to be trusted.

And love for a woman has no place in this business.

But her name, the face he had seen on the screen and on TV, moved him forward.

Moved him on an unswerving path towards... who knows?

Perhaps towards an early death.

Hello?

Claudia, it's great to see you.

So this must be cross.

The mysterious brother.

Not so mysterious.

Very mysterious.

Very handsome.

Claudia, you didn't tell me your brother was so handsome.

Well, she didn't tell me, or even more beautiful on person.

How do we get with that?

Claudia says that you can help me, but I don't know how.

Well, maybe I can make a deal with your husband.

Well, the studio already tried to make a deal with him.

But it doesn't need money.

He's from a wealthy family.

Well, we're gonna have to do something.

The studio cases hotel and they found a container of acid.

I'm not surprised.

If I make an agreement with your husband, I get a deal about it.

Really?

I've never failed to make a deal yet.

I'll never believe any deal Bos makes.

I'm trying to be fearless, but I'm scared.

I'm scared to death.

This is a letter of credit.

I'll pay your studio the 50 million you invested right now, Mr. Mary.

Please call me Eli.

My client will also put up the money to finish the picture.

Another 50 million minimum.

You can have distribution rights and Skippy, you can stay on as producer.

My client is offering 5% of the profits.

5%?

5% is ridiculous.

I mean, how do we know that you and Athena are not in some kind of conspiracy?

Claudia, please, please.

Body, we are trying to save a picture here.

It's a reasonable question.

I want to know what this guy can offer Athena to get her back that we can't.

I'm going on a hunch.

A hunch.

Wait, see, this picture is a locomotive.

It could gross half a billion dollars worldwide.

I mean, we're talking about a lot of money here.

If you could get Athena back, which you can't.

There's only one deal breaker.

This agreement must be kept secret.

Well, you signed papers so you affected.

You have no agreement with Athena Aquitane at this point in time.

Yes.

Look, I want to do a business with last stone studios, but if this is too

complicated for you, we can just forget the whole thing.

We want 20% of the profits.

We will distribute the picture far and domestic,

and we will be part of any other sequels.

What are you talking about?

They're all dead at the end of the picture.

They can't be a sequel.

Well, this is Hollywood.

I mean, Spark came back.

Jaws came back.

You'll make a fortune on distribution, and there's no risk.

10% of the profits take it or leave it.

12% and you have a deal.

It's not so much the money, but this could be

a great picture, and I don't want to scrap it.

12.

Yes or no?

Yes.

Mr. Skynet, does that retain his weight, D?

I'm coming.

You don't have to say me so bad she can wait.

This better be on the up and up.

Hey, you check out our idea with that insecurity

and other private dick agency for the birds.

Our reputation is very nice.

Hey, your bodyguard's for the stars, pal.

It doesn't impress me.

How are you going to come with us?

Yeah.

I'm curious.

I wonder what my pretty little wife's got up her mini skirt.

I understand you want to drive you on car.

I will go with you.

My friend will follow in our car.

If it's a great deal, whatever.

What do you want?

I'd like to know what these two gentlemen are.

And then your business.

You'd like a few words with me?

Hey, private.

I'm getting lost.

The charges against me would drop.

How far has this place been driving for hours?

It's not too much further.

She bought this place.

Yes, she'd like to get away from Hollywood.

I still think she can buy me softly.

Is she playing a sleep with me?

So where is she?

Who are you?

What the hell's going on?

Where's the thing?

Where's my wife?

If you don't do exactly what you could die.

Nice deal, huh?

Don't stop it.

So do you want?

All I want is for you to buy three letters from me.

Go over the table and write a letter to your wife.

One of the last known studios and one of the place.

I'll tell you what to write.

If I don't, where you can torture me, son?

No, no, no.

I'll touch you.

What do you call this?

Let him go.

Take it in.

Alright, get off.

Everybody out.

Everybody out, except Leah.

Where's my wife?

Leah!

She's not here.

Boss, go to the desk, write the letters.

And you'll be out of here.

Go to hell.

Kill him.

Hey, hey, hey!

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Letters.

First, write a letter of apology to your wife.

Boss, with your right hand.

We're not stupid.

Get rid of that.

Leah.

You love her, don't you?

That's what this is all about.

Oh, she got you the way she got me, boy.

I know what you're going to do.

You're going to have a counter-fitter copy.

Am I right?

I'm standing to wanna.

Just give me one favor.

Ask Athena sometime.

Maybe some night when you're in bed with her, her legs are all wound up in your

eyes and her eyes and burning holes in your skull.

Her body's all pressed up against your neck and you smell the sweet smell of her.

Yeah, it's the time to ask her.

Ask her about the baby.

The one buried in the Arizona desert.

Ask her about our baby that she buried in the Arizona desert.

God's world is a prison in which a man has to earn his daddy bread.

And his fellow man, all woman, is a fellow beast.

Convivorous and without mercy.

So was it any surprise that this film got us, one of the husband killed,

and that she wanted Crochet Fissel to do the job?

What exactly are we looking for here?

We're in.

We're in this.

Yeah.

What are boobs?

Boobs tomorrow.

Thean is the only one I know perfect in both

places, but she's not going to show them.

That's why we're looking for a double.

What do you think?

Third and the left hand?

One, two, three.

Feeling fun.

Feeling fun?

Could you lower your shorts, please?

Fair, am I glad?

Yeah, that's right.

You're better.

If you don't mind.

I

think she's very talented.

Very good.

Okay, everybody.

Athena, at the scene, it's back in the picture.

Bye, Stan.

Out of the picture.

Okay.

Everything went perfectly.

It was a clear case of suicide.

There was a farewell note in the body.

Handwriting experts would never be able to detect the forgery.

It was done by a master.

The shackles on scannets, legs, and arms had been purposely loose.

And left no marks.

Yeah.

Cross.

It's Georgio.

Thean would like to see you.

I was expecting your calls, Georgio.

I'll be in class by tomorrow.

Gentlemen?

Hi.

Where's Eli?

Eli is in the hospital.

No, sir.

It's nothing to be worried about.

It's just a checkup, but don't say anything about it because lots don't stock

price goes up in town with reports of itself.

I mean, it is nothing serious.

He's over 80.

Everything is serious.

We do business in the hospital every day.

He's even better there.

He's the man.

He's the man.

I need you to help me.

I need you to appeal to your sense of fair play.

You see, since Cross really didn't do anything to bring Athena back to the

picture, since lots don't have the best of a

considerable amount of time and money and talent.

We've decided to give your brother his money back for

the picture, along with 10% of the adjusted gross.

Your brother will not be at any risk.

I find that pretty insulting.

My client has already survived the risk.

You know, I might be wrong, but I think that your client

would find going to court just as tasteful as I do.

I'm leaving.

He stands to make conservatively on his investment $10 million.

I think that's fair.

It's more than fair.

I mean, hell, he didn't do anything.

You tell him we'll work together on another project real soon.

I promise.

We will make it up to you.

Goodbye.

We can win in court, Cross.

I don't want to go to court.

Look, I want to stay in movie business on good terms.

10 million isn't a bad start.

I'm going to drop the papers.

I got to get off.

I got a plane to catch.

They're swimming, you Cross.

You hurt me, Claudia.

Make the deal.

All right, Ben?

But I'll get you more than 10%.

But if you saw, we hear that you become involved in a movie picture business.

Yes, it's a little day.

Is it true you played some of your shares in a Xanadu to finance a movie?

Yes, George, you know that's true.

You get involved in a very serious family affair with no consultation.

You carry out a violent action that might have severe repercussions.

You use family resources, hunting lodginess, sierras.

You use Lee Abatthi and our expert counterfeiter, Matteo Sosa.

And if you're years ago, you asked not to take

part in that necessary work some men must do.

That granted you a request.

And how you do it for your own profit.

Don Quercuzzio, I saw an opportunity to make a great deal of money.

A chance to get a foothold in a new business, for me, for the family.

A business to be used to turn black money white.

But to do that, I had to move quickly.

And the outcome.

Unfortunately, Logstone Studios isn't keeping their end of the bargain to buy me out.

10% of the gross, which means about $10 million.

I thought it was the better choice to accept their terms than to go to court.

Why's decision?

Well, restless they are in Hollywood.

But at least you made your 10 million.

No.

Five for me, five for the family.

First catch the rabbit.

Then we share it.

More coffee, grandfather.

No.

No coffee, grandson.

From now on, full discussion and everything drastic that's done.

Understand, nephew.

Yes, of course, Uncle Quercuzzio.

And his hoodlums in Hollywood.

Let him swim at the bottom of the ocean.

Women in business, it's a bad mix.

He said nothing to do with Athena pop.

Maybe.

Let me tell you something.

She screws you up, I plan her communion.

And she'll disappear off the face of this earth.

And I don't care how big a movie star she is.

She'll pop.

Body says you're doing business as usual.

This is you.

Screwed 100 people from your hospital bed.

I've always liked you.

You were never afraid of me.

I need your help.

About your brother.

Eli.

You have a moral sense.

Beth is trying to take everything away from him.

There's a direct line to Bobby there.

Just pick up the phone.

Give Cross the land at 20% of the gross.

I'll let him take us to court.

You know he won't.

You heard me, Bobby.

20%.

That's satisfying.

Claudia Galena will handle it properly.

Thank you, Eli.

I won't forget this.

I'm not going to make it.

The doctor say I need a heart transplant.

I have an old man with fresh heart that's not going to help.

I want to help you.

There's anything I can do.

Here?

I just want to see a beautiful woman.

One more time.

Go on.

Take off the sweater.

If I wasn't so shaky.

I don't but myself.

There is always sexy.

Yeah.

Everything.

I want a whole show.

You have a beautiful body.

Better than any of the movie stars I've slept with.

They are on the wedding in 50 minutes.

Cross.

Thank you for coming.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

Have our drinks.

Water.

Water?

I thought it was important that we keep our heads.

That water's great.

I love water.

I suppose I should thank you for keeping me in the movie business.

Claudia told me the studio reneged on the deal once my husband killed himself.

You had to give back the picture, take a percentage?

I'm not a very good businessman.

Don't give me that.

I know it better.

I also knew Buzz.

I don't care if he left 100 suicide notes.

He would never kill himself.

Oh.

What can I say?

That is dead.

I knew you could help me from the beginning.

It's the only evil thing I've ever done.

Getting someone to commit murder.

Athena.

Let's get something straight.

I didn't kill your husband.

But what I'd really like to know is why you were so afraid of him.

Buzz told me the secret.

He said you had a kid and you buried it in Arizona, doesn't it?

I really believe I killed my baby.

You believe I murdered your husband?

Ask Athena sometime.

You know, some night when you're in bed with her and her legs are all wound up in

yours and her eyes are burning holes in your skull.

Yeah, it's a good time to ask her.

Ask her about our baby.

The one buried in the ears of the desert.

She was a dangerous woman, and she was too skilful in bed.

Of course, if he saw since she would be the end

of him, that she hadn't snared him in the trap.

At that moment, he decided he should never see her again.

I had dreams as a boy in Sicily to grow up and

protect my family, to sail on a giant ship to America.

Simple dreams, but life has a way of changing them.

I never dreamed I would kill another human being,

or lose a wife and a son and a love of my daughter.

My grandson, Dante, had his own dreams.

Dreams that would become my nightmares.

He plotted against the family with a Los Angeles

detective that was already on our payroll.

Listen, I got a really important proposition I put to you, okay?

You want to hear the rewards and the rest?

You're a reward.

All right, 200 grand cash up front.

A year later, jobs had a security zander to

hotel, five times a salary of what you make now.

Plus, room, car, expense account, all of it.

Sounds stupid.

Somebody's got to get shot.

That's the risk, right?

For me, I'm the shooter.

Why not me?

I have the badge to make it legal.

Because you wouldn't lose six months after.

And what do I do?

Take a look at your ass with a feather.

The risk for you is that this isn't one of your regular jobs for the Clercusio.

This is my deal.

Oh, hell.

There's added bonuses.

Remember that boss Ganatuson?

Of course I remember.

I said that was no suicide.

That actress bit sedema.

A cross-made that hit with a guy named Leah Vazzi.

He's a small, wiry guy from the old country, hawk-like face.

Yeah, where can I find him?

Vazzi lives in hunting lives and my family lives in the Ciaras.

If the Clercusios come after me.

I'll sell you down the river.

Don't worry.

If I hear that, I'll kill you first.

So, who's gonna get shot?

You can tell me.

You'll find that one of times, right?

We did really good, boys.

We were proud of the Clercusia.

And now we're gonna be very happy.

Looks like there's gonna be trout for supper.

Nice kid.

You got a paradise up here.

Good save place to raise him.

Not today, uncle.

What can I do for you?

I'm with the Los Angeles Police Department.

Like to ask you a few questions.

Perhaps you can go inside.

These will do.

Okay, you know what a man named Boss Scannett?

I saw you with him.

In the lobby of the Beverly Hotel?

I saw you get in the car with him.

He wasn't me.

Oh, it's not.

Okay, you can be bastard.

But I'll get you soon.

Okay, you soon.

You drove in last night?

We're already this morning.

How did Jimulosi know who I am and where to find me?

I don't have a police record.

There must be an informer in the family.

Can't be.

Well, you want to take a vacation with your family down in Brazil?

Do we find out what it's all about?

I'm not nervous.

Not yet.

But I would like your permission to protect myself from this man.

Well, this isn't Sicily.

It's very dangerous to kill a police officer in this country.

I'd like to tell you something you shouldn't know.

Jimulosi is on the Clercusio pad.

Take money.

But the fact remains, he's a dangerous man, huh?

You'd be careful.

Crocie Fisso had many duties as my baron, or Burlione in the west.

He also operated the Zana to Hotel and was responsible

for the constant flow of money generated by the casino.

In the best tradition of American enterprise, he skimmed five million of

those casino dollars to ensure our friendship with Senator Walter Waven.

He had avenged the death of the senator's daughter.

Now Waven had to do his part to legalize gambling through all 50 states.

Crocie!

Come in!

Come in!

Nice to see you!

You must eat!

I mean, this is wonderful.

Who will tell Senator Walter?

You're enjoying it.

Lovely oysters and lemonade.

You don't miss a beat.

You know, I stopped drinking.

This is just a little gift for the hotel, Senator.

I can't tell you how delighted I am, and I need a private word with you.

Of course.

The key?

Thanks.

You have to take this up to my room and one of you stay with it.

If you need us alone now, I'd like to have a private word with my friend Crocie here.

Thanks.

Well, you're looking good.

You're looking very well.

How's the golfing?

Not bad a little bit.

I'd like to get out tomorrow, actually.

Okay?

To work that out.

So I have some good news naturally, but I also have some bad.

Well, for five million, I sure hope the good is a hell of a lot better than a bad.

The good news first, and it is very good news.

It seems that I finally have enough votes in the House

and the Senate to legalize gambling all across the nation.

And the money in that Trump will help swing some key votes.

It's five, right?

That's five.

Now, what's the bad news?

Your friends aren't going to like it, especially Georgio.

I mean, he's so impatient.

I mean, he's a fabulous fellow.

Senator, he is.

I like him a lot.

Senator?

The bad?

The President has told me that he will veto the bill.

No, wait a minute.

And we simply don't have the votes to override a veto.

The five million is going to the President?

No.

No.

The President?

Oh, no.

It works a little differently when your President believes me wrong.

So we're nowhere unless the President drops that.

Exactly.

Now, he's going to get reelected in a five-year-old's time.

The composition of the Congress may change, and

I might not have the votes that I have today.

What the hell are you saying?

If something were to happen to the President, the Vice President will sign the bill.

No, come on.

These things happen?

Why?

I mean, anything can happen.

The heart attack is playing crashes.

We're all immortal.

Fate may take a hand.

And the Vice President is a close personal friend

of mine, even though he's in a different party.

And I know for a fact, he will approve our bill.

Are you sure of the message the Senator was sending, sir?

He wants us to assassinate the President.

Do you think we would actually take a life, the leader of this great country?

The Senator presented the facts.

I think he assumes we'll act on it.

You're cold, Uncle.

Oh, yeah, it's cold.

When it's invigorating, creeps in my bones at my age.

I can't get warm enough anymore.

There is another sensitive problem, the Yavasi.

He says our detective, Jim Losi, has been asking questions.

Detective found something by accident.

He wants a bonus to stop.

Jojo, take care of it.

Give him another 50 grand.

The cross, this is your deal.

The money's got to come out of this attitude.

The money doesn't concern me.

There's an informer inside the family.

There is no informer.

No.

We must discuss this business about our President.

We can't, and we shouldn't.

Pippi, if you can't do the job, then I'll do the job.

You're a butcher, not a planner.

You're calling me a butcher?

How many notches on your phone?

Grandpa, you give me the job, and I'll take care of it.

I'm sure you could.

Well, Pippi's right.

It is too risky.

One can always make mistakes, but never fail a mistake.

Even if you were successful... ...would hang over all our heads forever.

Not that my grandson.

You must be patient.

Someday you'll have your gambling empire.

That'll be your legacy.

There'll be no shadow of a terrible deal hanging over your head.

Go to Faisal.

I don't think we should continue ties with the senator.

I'd take it as a personal insult.

That he thinks we would kill the President of our country...

...to further a business venture.

Agreed.

Good.

What trouble does you have to be?

I'm too young to retire.

I get restless.

So, why don't you play golf like De Brullione?

You've escaped many parals.

You should enjoy your old age.

Why don't you get married?

Queue's one of your girlfriends to settle down.

Be patient.

I fear your time will come and mine.

Look at this.

What a happy day.

Seems like a hundred years ago.

I want you to think...

...John Claude Van Dam, you know, Rob Nail Energy.

How are we supposed to be showing how a woman deals with power as opposed to a man?

We've also thrown a little dental washington for the humanity part.

Violence sells its blood.

And guts.

You know, it's testosterone.

I never know.

But you talked to Eli.

I was there.

He promised to get cross his points.

I am not discussing this topic today.

Gets him on the phone.

Claudia, I am trying to keep this quiet until after the market closes.

But we lost Eli this morning.

That can't be true.

Eli is dead.

Luckily, I am running the studio.

But as far as honoring any hearsay coming... At least just with him last night.

Really?

Wow.

You don't think that's what killed him, do you?

Love is not a reliable emotion, no matter how deep.

Love does not ensure brand of truth.

Does not ensure obedience does not provide harmony.

And so difficult a world.

But if he somehow knew that, but still he was drawn to her.

He tried, but he couldn't break away.

I can hurry and make you some eggs and bacon if you like.

Or they don't have time.

When do I see you again?

I got a lot of things to do with Vegas.

I'll go in next week.

This is goodbye, isn't it?

You paid off your obligation.

What do you think I am?

Langerous.

Because you think I used you to get my husband killed, right?

Hey, you put it out there.

You think I actually killed my baby?

Tell you the truth.

I don't know what to believe.

I know you're busy, but there's something I'd like to show you.

Can you spare this morning and catch a later flight?

I don't know.

It's important.

I want to take you somewhere.

Just come with me.

You can ask questions later.

Is she in our room?

Yes.

You gonna tell me what's going on here?

Just wait.

This is my daughter Bethany.

Hi, honey.

It's Mommy.

I brought a friend with me.

His name is Cross.

Isn't that a funny name?

I love her name.

Hey.

What do you say we go outside with the other kids?

It's a beautiful day.

We can sit under our favorite tree.

Cross.

Look.

What did the doctor say?

Bethany's autistic.

Do they know what happened?

Nobody really knows, but when she was a baby, Bob threw her up in the air,

and he let her drop deliberately.

She had a concussion.

I was afraid that he was gonna kill both of us, so I ran away.

I began to notice that she was slipping into a world of her own.

I was just frantic.

I thought that maybe her brain had been injured.

I took her to see millions of doctors and tests.

They keep saying that nothing could have prevented it and that nothing can change.

But you don't play.

I'm gonna quit the movie business after this film.

There's this doctor in France.

I'm gonna take Bethany there.

Live there.

So this was the baby that I told Bob as I buried in the desert.

I thought it would protect her from him.

And then he appeared again in my life, and I was just terrified that he would

kill me, and then Bethany would be left alone.

Remember, I'll help you in any way I can.

Well, then call me when you get back.

Then let's be together as much as we can until the picture's over, okay?

Because after that I go to France.

I think I'm standing far more.

There's something I have to ask you.

Did you kill Buzz?

Did you have him killed?

No.

I have nothing to do with it.

You swear.

Yeah.

You just wait until my brother hears how you've screwed him.

Claudia, nobody screwed your brother.

Skippy, did anyone screw her brother?

No.

We returned all of your brother's money.

With interest?

With interest.

But you took away the points that he owned in Miss Alina.

And that was promised by Eli Marion himself.

Claudia, Claudia.

Policies have changed since I took over the studio.

Oh, I promise.

I will make it up.

I promise.

You guys have no idea who you're dealing with.

This Bobby Vance is spitting a face at Claire Cusio.

He's clever.

He knows Cross won't take him to court.

You gotta admit, it's good business on his part.

Oh, grandson.

How would you solve this problem?

I cut him with the pieces.

And you who caught your visa?

I'd accept it and learn from it.

I got burned because I didn't believe they had the guts.

You can't ignore it.

You'll be taken for a fool.

And men all over the world would refuse you any respect.

Bippy?

Do the civilized business thing.

We should buy the studio.

You know what kind of money we're talking about?

Emilio, money is like whipped cream.

Take a small amount and then you'll whip it into a frock.

With bonds, loans, stock shares.

Vance controls the studio.

He'll never sell.

He'll win the sell for $10 billion.

Maybe I'll go out and give him a kiss.

So who gets the studio?

Frost?

Anthony, Neil, your bus could run a studio.

We're not ruthless enough.

I drink it at.

I love you.

Let me out of here!

Let me out of here!

You're alright.

Don't do this.

I'm alright.

I'm alright.

I'm alright.

I'm alright.

Please.

Please, please.

I love you.

Don't do this!

I am living this nightmare.

No.

Don't.

My brothers.

You have to ask my brothers.

What is this, Sammy?

You asked someone that's in my husband.

Well, maybe you should tell me.

No, I can't.

No, please.

Come on, come on.

Come here.

You're taking her away.

I gave her something to put her out.

They know how to handle it.

Tell me about the Centadio Wars, Pop.

Did she tell you to ask me that?

She was talking about it.

Well, it was a bad time.

Centadio killed one of them.

I told her brother, Solvio.

What else?

Well, the Don doesn't wish that to be discussed.

Ever.

I didn't do well.

Did I?

With the Don?

No, you did okay.

The Don was right.

You can't let anybody screw you twice.

We have to show these Hollywood melon drain by the studio up from under.

Hey.

You heard the Don?

I should get married.

I settled down.

You know, I was thinking.

Yeah, I know what you were thinking.

You're like Goldilocks.

The one in New York is too hard, the one in Chicago is too soft.

Yeah, but the one in LA, she's just ready.

She's just a good girl, Pop.

I wish you the best.

But it's just gonna be a little strange calling someone younger than I am, Mom.

Hey, uh...

Be careful, huh?

What?

Everything.

Listen.

Maybe I should have let you go with your mother.

I was selfish.

I needed you.

You heard me, Michelle.

You've been nagging me to marry you for three years now, so let's do it.

No, this is no joke.

I'm gonna retire and play some golf, be a good husband.

You like Las Vegas.

Hey, I'll buy you a new house.

No.

Yeah, I mean it all the way.

Hey, you wanna have a kid?

Hey, we'll have a kid.

No, no, no, no.

You don't have to drive up to the airport to meet me.

Just be ready for when I get to your place.

Oh, and say a few of those mantras, huh?

We're gonna need them.

I love you, babe.

Well, you're going here.

I should have known.

Oh, honey.

Honey, don't play with that.

There's ants all over it here.

I have some more cake in here if you want it.

Mmm, Mexican chocolate and whipped cream.

Bethany.

Oh, very nice.

Mexican chocolate whipped cream and that's delicious.

She thinks you're out to take liquor.

Well, maybe she's right.

Well, maybe the doctor in France can help her.

Well, what if you can't?

Then I'll take care of her.

Nothing else is more important to me.

Hmm.

What are you thinking, Beth?

We used to go up to this lodge and this year's.

My mom and dad would dance for us sometimes.

They brought in me.

And I never thought I'd be that happy again.

Until right now.

Don't cut me out.

You cut me out of your life.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's my name.

Oh, no.

Don't get it.

I have to have plenty about tomorrow's call.

Hello?

And I need to talk to you for you.

He's not here.

Okay, I'll tell him when he gets in.

So is Georgia.

He's just a relative.

How does he know you were here?

I don't know.

Maybe he's got a crush on you.

It's like all the secrets of mystery and secret deal.

Yeah, well, we all have our secrets, don't we?

Come here.

Look at those secrets.

Really?

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's the guard of the gate.

Someone's here to see you.

Yeah, put him up.

Cross.

I got some really bad news.

Okay, put the guard back up.

It's okay, let him in.

What is it?

Just stay here.

Don't come up.

I'm not going to stay here.

You have to be dangerous.

Just do what I say.

No, Cross.

I want to know who's coming into my house.

It's my cousin.

You can't even trust your cousin?

I can't trust anybody.

Wrong, Cross.

You can trust me.

You guys hang here.

Hey.

Cross.

What are you doing here?

George, you're charging the plane.

Let's go sit in the car.

Hello.

Let's stay now.

Pity.

Hi, Pity.

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

It's my cousin.

Come on in.

Can I get you some coffee?

No.

No, thank you.

So, what's the bad news?

I need to talk to you alone.

It's okay.

Cross.

Something's happened to your father.

Pity got shot by some punk mooly mugger.

I'm sorry, Cross.

He's dead.

Now a cop named Losie shot this mugger as he was running away.

But they need you to identify the body.

Into the paperwork.

The old man wants a buried in Quark.

Monday did happen.

We found out about eight last night.

George is going to try to call you.

I'm so sorry.

I'll have to go alone.

Lord God, through your mercy those who have lived in faith, find eternal peace.

Bless this grave and send your angel to watch over it.

Forgive the sins of our brother, whose body we bury here.

Welcome him into your presence.

And with your saints, let him rejoice in you forever.

We ask this to Christ our Lord, Amen.

And it is God's only buten's day.

Paltris it feely, it's bitter to song to you.

Descendo sepervos it mani, it's semper.

Amen.

Father, you follow the prince.

A prince.

And this is his princess, huh?

His little girl, Makedela Roganci.

Makedela Roganci.

I can't use my father.

I wouldn't even see him for all those years.

You understood?

Clercus, I think they own him.

That's why I'm here today.

Just let them know I am, too.

I have some questions.

You sent Petey and Vincent in an armor car to get me.

He had him guard me until I got here.

Seems we have to be prepared until we have all the facts.

I'm here.

A full investigation.

Petey thief, black man named Yumalo, made a mistake.

And a foolish tragedy ensued.

Most tragedies are foolish.

There are many coincidences.

Detective Jim Losey is on the family payroll.

Out of the thousands of detectives and policemen in Los

Angeles, he is the one who stumbles under the killing.

And how did this street mugger get that close to Epitalian?

What are you saying?

I wonder if the Clercusio decided that the

number one soldier became a danger to that.

And who told you to speak to me with such disrespect?

I just don't understand.

What mugger fired six shots before running?

Do you think you'd still be alive if we were responsible for your father's death?

No.

Accept the facts.

And know that you have your father's place in the family.

Thank you, now, Clercusio.

I knew that his questions were still not answered.

I knew he now wondered about the life he was leading to grow old like his father,

taking all the risks, and then still to be killed in cold blood.

I knew he was weighing this against the love

he had for this woman, not that I could say it.

And what his life might be with her.

You don't have to go back to the clinic.

Never step foot in this house again.

Hear that?

You evil son of a bitch!

Come on, keep your voice down.

Please, you don't want to wake up, Grandpa.

I'm leaving.

I need to take you back upstairs.

You don't belong to me.

Mom, there's nothing to be afraid of.

I'm here.

I'm not protecting you.

Listen to me, baby boy.

You're dreaming.

The only way he could ever protect me is to be as powerful as the dawn himself.

You got that?

I will never sleep in this house again.

Open the door.

I'm here to see Rosemary Clercusio.

I don't think I have you.

I'm, uh... Who's the B.C.

of the Laina?

I'm a nephew.

Mrs. Clercusio is having a medical procedure just now.

You'll have to wait.

It could take up to an hour.

It's okay.

Okay.

Right this way.

It's in here.

Mr. Laina, I can take you in now.

Rosemary?

These are for you.

Oh.

I hear this.

Oh.

I hear it.

I thought that you would hate me because of what I do.

You didn't do anything to my father?

It's a terrible thing, isn't it?

To wish.

Somebody's dead.

You feel the air and the earth with poison for them.

Do you think that Don will just let this pass?

And Rose.

You can't kill anyone by just wishing for it.

I'm sure that Don doesn't hold me responsible for my father's death.

They're just hitting me these three bits here.

It makes everything a little bit fuzzy.

I know you.

He just wants me to forget.

But it doesn't make any difference what anybody does here.

After all these years, I can't forget.

Oh.

Here you go.

I'm just going to kill you, too.

You understand?

He'll kill you, too.

He found that Rose.

You're going to have everyone in here?

No, my father fools.

He's very tricky.

He fools everyone.

Tell me what made you so upset you wanted to come back here.

Why don't you guys then to tell you what happened in the... out of your war?

I don't understand that.

Your father was still wearing his dancing shoes.

And that's how I recognized him.

And so is he who was in the front.

And Vincent was still in the front.

Petey was to the right.

And they came to kill me.

My own brothers came to kill me.

Rose Marie.

Here you go.

And there's not my honor.

You've got all the brothers to take you.

You've got to go.

Rose Marie.

Rose Marie.

Where are you brothers?

Mom, we're not gonna hurt you.

The dawn wants to see you in quads.

We can't leave it here like this.

Sure, we can't.

Then there's a sugar up.

I just want to know one thing.

Am I going to be knocked off like my father?

Father, why does Cross have to know about this?

We can't benefit him or us.

You're sufficient.

No thanks, Uncle Pete.

We owe it to him.

And we owe it to Pippi.

Make of this story what you will.

But know that I and my sons are innocent of the crime you suspect.

Pippi was a son to me.

As you are to me, a grandson.

All of clear acoustic blood.

We should have wiped the Santario family out in the very beginning.

Don Santario, may God have mercy on his soul.

He had six sons.

His youngest one was Jimmy Santario.

He and my daughter Rose Marie fell in love.

On the day they were married.

She was carrying his child.

The Santario had killed my son, Silvio.

I swear to you, we had nothing to do with Silvio's death.

I swear to you on my father.

How could I forgive that?

Daughter or daughter?

Outside.

It's a joke.

If I'm a joke, don't leave.

Please, don't do anything crazy.

No.

Pippi.

Pippi, don't please!

No, Pippi, please, stop!

Pippi, see?

Dante is Jimmy Santario's son.

And you cross.

She had the same baby carriage with him when you were infants.

I tried to make it up to Dante for the loss of his father.

Tried to help my daughter recover from her grief.

My father did that.

Are you kidding?

Your father was magnificent.

He was a genius.

He could plant an operation like Napoleon.

Your father, Pippi.

He was one of a kind.

He was our best soldier.

And Rosemarine never talked?

No.

She did even better.

She went crazy.

You think we're heartless.

Make a seat on your face.

Your father made one mistake.

He never should have spared Rosemarine.

Although I loved them for it.

Because if he saw...

Your father met with some bad luck.

You must accept.

I think we should kill his detective, Jimmy.

I told you that no more.

You don't believe a story?

It's a disgrace, that story.

There is no way a qualified man like your

father will let a mother like that close to him.

The dumber, isn't it?

I would never contradict Don Clercusio.

But let me kill this, Jimmy.

Just to make sure.

What Clercusio is behind him.

How would you fight for, Leah?

Me?

Or the Clercusio?

I had no choice.

I'm too close to you.

I'm too close to your father.

They would never let me leave if you go down.

I don't know.

They missed one of those things to happen.

Strange, coincidence.

No, it's Jim Losi.

Why Jim Losi?

That's what we have to find out.

Form a crew of six men, ones that are loyal to you, but none from the Bronx are clear.

Have them ready.

Find out what you can about Losi.

Right.

You are going to see a fiancé.

She's not my fiancé yet, but that was my passion.

She agrees.

Problem.

I wish you all the best, huh?

She knows about family business.

No.

I'm going to gather up my soldiers and pour my own army.

Will you be with me?

Are you with me?

So ambitious.

Is it a sin for a woman to be ambitious?

I can't see her face enough.

They call this work.

Who wouldn't want to be one of her soldiers?

The camera loves Sifting.

I mean, she really doesn't have to do much.

It just registers.

This has to be Claudia's handsome brother.

I've been hearing so much about it.

Now I get a chance to shake my butt ten times instead of six.

Oh, we all have to shake her but one time or another.

I'll be right back.

I have something I want to talk to you about.

I'm scared.

Hugh Marla was a friend of mine.

Hugh Marla?

The man they say shot your father.

Look, he never even had a gun.

I grew up with him.

He did small time drugs and they declared that.

Jim Logs used to pick him up and ride him around so he could spot dealers for him.

He was a police informant.

And now all of a sudden he's a mugger and a murderer.

Marla wouldn't harm his soul.

Remember, I'm not the one that told you this.

Oh, cross.

Oh, he scared me.

I thought you were a bastard.

I was getting pretty turned out in there.

What's you and that guy with the total hands all over you?

Me and my costume.

They got me.

But I was a kid.

I had all these dreams about being John of Arc.

Marie Curie.

A really great heroine.

Pure of body and mind.

The truth is, I know things.

I've done some things I'm not proud of.

I don't care about that.

You stay with me tonight.

I can't.

Those things you said about coming to France with me and Bethany.

Did you mean that?

Yes.

I just have to figure things out before I can break away.

You feel sharky?

I need to talk to you.

There's 10 grand.

For the beer.

If I hear the right answers, there's another 20 grand for you.

If you keep your mouth shut about me being here,

there's another 50 grand in a couple months.

You were partners with Jim Lozy for the last 10 years.

You're making a lot of money on the side.

You want to tell me why he retired?

So was Jim Lozy after?

Well, I can tell you he's the bravest and smartest cop ever, no?

How about honest?

We were cops in Los Angeles.

Did you and Lozy ever use a black kid named

Hugh Marlow to finger big shot drug dealers?

So, when you heard Jim shot him run for murder, you were surprised, right?

Yeah, it was fishy.

There was a whole lot of stuff that was fishy.

That's why I quit.

You know, Jim Bo, he started making me real nervous.

He was even talking about making a movie about his life.

There's a whole lot of stuff we did.

I wouldn't want to see a no damn movie.

That's a question.

Did you ever see Jim Lozy with a skinny young guy?

Guy, always wearing hats?

A little tag.

Yeah.

We had lunch.

Jim told me he'd get lost.

There was something spooky about that guy.

Tony Graham.

Remember you keep your mouth shut, this is yours.

I know who you are, who you really are.

That's why I don't take the old damn briefcase right now.

Between you and Lozy, I don't know who's going to kill me at first.

By the way, money or no money, I don't ever want to see you again.

I'm out of the loop.

I am retired.

It was Dante.

Dante killed my father.

Shot.

Over sending children into the battlefield.

This is what men talk about.

Victory.

Glory.

All I see are dead children.

This is the world of men that I have fired.

Two men I can't attack.

I don't want it anymore, enough with a violence.

Enough!

Isn't it, son?

Hold him.

And cut!

Check the gate, please.

Gate's clear.

It's a wrap!

Dean, you are a god.

Oh, yeah, I'm not as tough as Van Dan.

Oh, much more beautiful.

I'll never make a picture without you.

I'm retiring after this.

Dude, out this picture is going to put you over the top.

You're going to make almost as much as all old, anyway.

Crocie Fuso is throwing a rap party for the cast

and crew of Messa-Lina at the Santa Du Hotel.

He invited Dante and the star-struck detective Jim Losi to attend.

He put him up in a villa.

It was time for a showdown, but Dante had his own plans.

I have word that Dante has a crew from the enclave digging your grave in the desert.

We must be careful tonight.

After tonight.

It's what I worry about.

Then we have to down to deal with it.

We could stop everything, huh?

And lay our troubles before him.

He won't decide against his grandson.

Donnie.

He's grown a little soft, huh?

He let those people from Hollywood teach you.

He never would have allowed such disrespect before.

I'm sure he's going to plan to get even with Hollywood.

Never underestimate him.

I have to kill Dante.

I have no choice.

Dante killed my father.

So now he has to kill me.

Our men are in place.

I control the entire villa compound.

None of them know, but you and I will do.

You're here?

The villa is beautiful and the flowers.

Can you come to my suite?

I can't leave here right now.

Is something wrong?

I'll just come here.

I'll send the car and security.

They'll be waiting on second villa.

Okay.

You have to watch out for her.

Dante's crazy enough to do anything.

Do you ever believe this place?

I've burned the villa for a year on this gold faucet's alone.

Hey, we're going to live with those.

I had a cold run in one night better than the Roman Emperor's soon.

What's that?

The important thing is that we get crossed down here alone.

Look, I'm going to tell Cross.

George, your floor and secret leave wants to see him.

The doctor wants to pet people's shelter.

Don't do that again.

Well, what if he does?

I don't want to be sitting here and put me in my putt all night.

Listen, I think it's right next door.

Let's go tap on the door.

Get lucky.

Now we'll take her out to the desert too.

You're crazy!

You're really crazy.

Why not have a little fun?

I mean, the desert is a big place we could dump too about.

There's no problem.

Don't forget.

I'm the family, I don't know.

I'm going to leave the family back to this glory.

Besides my grandfather, we're forgetting about anything.

Oh, man, there's not much time left anymore.

I'm going to be taken over.

We'll be in the movie business by then.

Secret plans.

Make sure that the monster and your and Judge Keller are

taking the airport and plenty of time to make it fly.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

It's important my witnesses can't be corrupted or intimidated by anyone.

You want a level with me?

What's this all about?

This sudden rush to get a wheel made up?

You're in with them, aren't you?

Clercusia.

Yeah.

Like Dad was?

Yeah.

Like Dad was.

You know, I had this nagging fear about Bob's Scannet.

And now I understand why you let Bobby Vance

screw you out of your points in Messalina.

What can I do?

Stay close to Athena tonight.

Take care of my affairs and keep your mouth set.

The chances of me staying alive right now are great.

Athena.

Hi.

Hi, Athena.

What's going on?

Why was security?

Don't talk.

I just want to hold you.

I need to hold you.

I love you.

I love you, too.

You're something I have to tell you.

I lied about your husband.

What do you mean?

I don't want you to be alive between us.

No.

No, you swore to me it.

I know I didn't want to lose you.

I am a mystery to think that I was a den of himself.

Don't you see if you were innocent than I was to?

Look, this doesn't change anything.

You mean it doesn't change anything.

It changes everything.

I believed you.

You were the one man I ever trusted.

I believe that you were going to come to France to live with Bethany and me.

That's what I want.

I want us to be a family.

It can still happen.

It's still possible.

How is it still possible?

How can we live with this?

Knowing this?

I don't know, but we will.

We'll do it.

Don't walk away from me.

I don't have a lot of time.

Then make a decision cross.

Come with me now and leave this behind.

If you really think that we can make this work, then just come with me now.

I can't.

I have to see this through.

Am I ever going to see you again?

If I don't come to France, you'll know I'm dead.

Hi,

I wish that you liked some of them here.

Hi, Michelle.

I really miss you.

Do you want to miss this song?

Do you want to?

Claudia Elena.

Joanna.

We haven't decided on the last name yet.

I'm working on it.

I'll have it.

Well, I'm sure they'll come up with something.

Oh, I've got such a great part for you.

Listen to this.

It's a young girl, of course.

But I don't know if she's a hooker or a religion major.

I don't know what.

And she gets brutally raped, and then she gets murdered.

Bobby, Bobby, Ichnay on the itch back.

I've got other plans for Joanna here.

Why don't you get me a refill on this?

Do you want some?

I'll take your honor.

You look great.

Why don't you introduce me to your movie song?

Go on this.

So are you going to dance with me, or what?

I thought you'd never have.

Thank you.

You're awesome.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Thank you so much for the part.

You should see the Daily Show sensation on this movie.

You are so great in this film.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I want you to know that love still loves you.

I love you.

You have a home.

Thank you.

We do love you.

We love you and I love you.

We're getting ready to go right.

It's a great thing.

Congratulations.

They are wonderful things about Miss Alina.

They saw that.

I know.

It's a good thing.

No, stay right.

She doesn't need a bodyguard.

I'm a detective at the Los Angeles Police Department.

I saw some of your Dailys.

I had never seen a better body.

Especially that ass.

That wasn't my ass, but thank you anyway.

You're the best lucky woman I've ever met.

I'm in the next villa with some friends.

How about joining us for a drink?

Sorry, I can't.

I've got an early flight.

A lot of stone is an approach to make a movie about my life.

And you'd be great in it.

That's how I invite me in.

If I have a drink, I talk about what I did.

Miss Alina's security.

You have to leave.

You see this?

See this?

This means I'm going to keep the crap out of here.

Then I'm going to lock your ass up.

You're Los Angeles.

You're out of your jurisdiction.

I'm Las Vegas County.

It's all right.

Don't make a big deal out of this.

Let's go.

I'll remember you.

Let's just say that right now I've got bigger fish to fry.

They cross.

Nice party.

Glad you're enjoying yourself, Dante.

Have a good time.

Yeah, listen, I need to see you right away.

Okay, come up.

No.

These are orders.

Not on the phone.

Not on your suite.

I need you to come down.

I'm about to pull.

So what's going on?

George, your fool.

He's in my bill.

He needs to see you right away.

He's pissed off.

I think he found something out about your old man.

Okay.

Let's go.

Never you.

I've been looking for you.

Well, now you found me, huh?

Perhaps you would like to slap me again, huh?

What am I?

You don't wanna come?

Yes.

We know that.

I know you said that guy's scanning them.

Okay, if that's sooner or later.

You'll have to be sooner, huh?

There is no later.

Fuck!

You got a real nice setup with these villas, Cross.

Thanks.

So I hear you're, uh, into a thin aquitaine.

You let me know when you get tired.

Yeah, I'll let you know real soon.

What's all this about?

Well, they keep the blood off the furniture.

Well, all day!

All day!

Always me.

I've done you.

All your life.

You always have done you.

It's done.

Come on, wash up.

Go back to the hotel.

Give me your goat.

What about the blood?

It's all over.

I take care of everything.

You just wash up.

You go to the party.

It's very important you're seen there, huh?

We're going to do a picture to help you.

We don't need an aquitaine to start.

I got Joanna here.

Meet lots of those new stars.

Joanna, San Jermaine!

Joanna, San Jermaine!

I like that.

I have to hand it to Leo Pazzi.

He was a qualified man that spared no expense.

$20 million when I've been smoked to hide the blood stains.

It's one of your killers.

Somewhere off the coast of California, there was a community.

The bodies of Detective Jim Ose, and my grandson

Dante, had a rendezvous with the fishes.

Mr. Delaina?

Mr. Delaina?

Mr. Clercuzzio is here.

Yes.

I've been expecting him.

I hope everything's all right.

It's fine, Jerry.

Don't worry.

Georgio, what a surprise.

I'll call down and get a villa ready for you.

No, there's no time.

Where's Dante?

Dante?

Uh, he's here.

So, where are some last night?

Don wants to see you.

I have the plane waiting.

Oh.

Should I pack a bag?

Is this a one-way trip?

I don't know.

We're here.

That's it.

Let's get back.

That's it.

That's right.

Get used to it.

I want you to know the smell of blood.

You're a bad little boy.

And I left you with a killer.

You have a tender heart.

Turn more hot.

What?

Call him.

Don't you see?

If you were innocent, then I was, too.

He's not ugly in his influence.

Thank you.

Your blood is on you, Chris.

Come with me now and leave this behind.

What did you say?

I just had a thing.

It was great.

A little salmon up in it, please.

Pop.

That's great wine.

Can't he?

From your old friend, Alexie Trowley.

I needed sweetened a little.

Today, I... I needed sweetened a little.

It was cleverly done, Crochet Fuso.

But now you must explain your reasons.

You must answer to all of us.

Where is he?

Don't screw around, Cross.

Just tell us what you did with the body.

Who says I killed Dante?

I do!

Understand, I have pronounced you guilty.

And there is no appeal from that judgment.

Now, you must justify the killing of my grandson.

Cross, tell my father the truth.

It's your only chance.

Dante killed my father.

I judged him guilty as you judged me guilty.

He killed my father at a revenge and ambition.

He was the St. Tario in his heart.

And I think you must have known he was guilty and did nothing.

How could I come to you to redress the wrong?

How could I not have avenged my father?

All of you must know Dante is guilty.

And who knows what he planned after he killed me?

Next, his uncles?

Dante, in that detective, are swimming at the bottom of the ocean.

Why should we compound my daughter's grief?

She will be told her son is fled.

But justice or no, you have committed a crime against the family.

There must be punishment.

For you, money.

For Liavasi, his life.

Let me ransom him.

I don't have to do I transfer that ownership to you.

As payment for me and Vasi.

You must move out of our world.

Liavasi must return to Sicily, with his family or not, as he pleases.

As far as I can go.

You and Vasi will never speak together again.

I owe to my sons and your presence.

Never to avenge the death of the nephew.

Let me assure you.

I have no knowledge of Dante's plans.

Remember, I always loved your father.

Like the son.

What are you doing here?

I'm going to be head of lodestone studios.

Oh my god, Claudia.

You're the toughest of the Clercusios after all.

When her plane landed in LA, all hell broke loose.

They arrested Bobby Vance.

That girlie was with Joanna.

She was only 15 years old.

They got him on statutory rape.

Anyway, everybody got scared.

And the studio is being sold.

You're an Italian gentleman.

Look, I know it was all set up.

Joanna included.

Arranged by the Don himself, he was angry because lodestone cheated you.

I'm a Clercusio cross.

Let's see what can happen when I use the family toilets for good instead of evil.

Claudia.

Everything worked out according to my plans.

How easy it is to outwit the young.

But how painful to set the world straight.

I saw Dante as the great danger, yet what could I do?

All the death of my own grandson.

When Pippi Delano was killed, the die was cast.

Now, at last, the Clercusio will make its final retreat.

Let other men groan over their sins.

I accept mine and place my faith in God.

After all, I had set crochet feet so free.

I

was born in Sicily, where society and government were the enemy.

I could will myself as a slave to earn my daily bread without dignity or hope.

Or I could earn my bread as a man who commended respect.

I have a vision that I will live forever.

The Clercusio blood will be part of mankind forever.

My family was my society.

God was my punisher.

But what a wicked world it is that drives the men to sin.
