I was born in Palermo, Sicily.
We came to this country when I was seven.
We immigrated to Chicago.
We were always raised to be very patriotic,
to love our country.
And we did.
When I was a little boy,
my father took me to a baseball game.
They had a martial arts demonstration
and I saw this old Japanese man...
... doing things that I thought
were magical...
... and I developed a crazy dream
to go to the Far East.
By the time I was 17, I was there,
studying with the masters.
In 1969 I was invited by a friend of mine
to an American Embassy party in Tokyo.
While I was there, there was a crazy,
He recruited me into the CIA.
I was 22 at the time.
My eyes were about to be opened.
My friends, let me make one thing clear:
This is a nation of laws.
And as Abraham Lincoln had said:
No one is above the law,
no one is below the law."
And we're going to enforce the law!
And Americans should remember that,
if we are to have law and order!
You ever seen
chemical interrogation before?
These a**holes are Agency?
We all get paid by the CIA.
But these guys are from a page
that ain't even in the book.
Don't die on me, you sucker!
What the hell's wrong?
This p*ssy, he just can't hold his liquor.
Doc, he's dead.
Get him the f*** out of here.
- Move it. Let's go.
- Come on!
- Get him out.
- Get him out of here.
So, my little doctor bag doesn't scare you?
I'm not scared.
You speak English.
How nice.
Where's the load, Colonel?
I'm gonna teach you never...
...never to f*** with my opium.
Oh, boy.
He's a hard one, Doc.
You took it from the French,
you took it from the Chinks.
And you'll be damned
if a Yankee's going to start you talking.
But you're gonna sing for me.
You're gonna sing like a choir!
What does this have to do
with military intelligence?
Who the f*** is this cherry?
Your orders, Toscani,
were to assist and observe.
Just back off, partner.
I'm gonna start cutting you off
at the ankles.
Then I'm gonna take your feet
and throw them right in the basket.
Cute, huh?
Shut up, Nico.
Look, I can make you disappear.
Grab his leg.
- What the hell are you doing, man?
- Nico!
You think you're soldiers?
You're f***ing barbarians!
Get out!
Get back to the LZ.
If I don't cap him now,
he's gonna do me later.
I'll call a chopper in for us. I'll cover this.
Just get the hell out of here!
Come on, move!
Bring him back here!
Nobody move! Everybody stay
on that damn porch!
Go, Nico!
Nelson, I'm through. I'm finished!
Nicola, Sara,
what name do you give your child?
Giuliano Nicola.
Giuliano...
...you have become a new creation.
With the help of your family and friends...
...we bring your Christian dignity
unstained...
...into the everlasting life of heaven.
- Come on. You always make me late.
- I'm the boss. You have to drive me!
I'll trace the sign of the Cross
upon your forehead...
...and I invite your parents to do the same.
In the name of the Father, the Son...
...and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Look at him. He's such a good baby.
That's beautiful.
- I know you're the boss but...
- That's right. Remember that.
Hi, guys.
Hey, how are you?
You guys look so good!
We haven't done anything.
We're clean. Some of us, anyway.
Well, Lieutenant, eight more days
and you're gonna miss me.
Parts of you, anyway.
You see this cop?
This one. This one here.
She could bust me anytime.
Look at that! Look at that!
- This is the partner?
- This is the partner.
I got dressed up because
you told me you were wearing a tux.
You look fabulous.
She goes to work looking like this?
This girl, sometimes she comes
in just lingerie.
Don't tell our secrets. She's never gonna
let you out with me again.
I told you guys to have a good time,
but take it easy, will you?
Toscani holds the record
for having more relatives...
...under federal indictment
than any other cop in the city.
A free meal and they come out like flies.
Hey, you greaseball bastards!
Didn't we buy that monkey once?
Rosa, I'm so worried. So worried.
- What's wrong?
- Nico!
Isn't today a day you should be happy?
- What's wrong?
- It's Lucia. She's gone again.
- Is it that boy?
"- S", Nico.
I have to go to work right now.
You gonna be at the bakery later?
S.
I'll come by the bakery and we'll talk.
Maybe I can do something.
Thank you, Nico. Thank you.
Lester, this is Unit 10, Tango-X-ray.
We're up and clear. You got that?
Delores, Toscani told me he'll watch
over you and take care of you real good...
... your last week on the street.
Never had a friend who was a DA before.
I'm gonna take a piss and be right back.
- Here?
- Yeah.
She's fine, ain't she?
Excuse me, I just had to stop and tell you...
...you look like the sun setting
on a waterfall in the springtime.
And you got five seconds, and three are up.
You ain't got to be...
Lady cops need boyfriends, too, you dig?
But you have a nice day, just the same.
Nothing but trouble coming
in my place tonight.
I know this one.
You seen this girl?
I ain't seen sh*t.
You haven't seen this girl?
Hey, Schifo, how you doing?
- You seen this girl?
- You know I quit messing with that stuff.
- I ain't into this sh*t anymore.
- What are you into?
Why don't the f***
you a**holes leave me alone?
- I paid your boy off Monday night.
- My boys, huh?
Now take some of that f***ing money
and buy your mama a condominium.
I thought this was a kosher bar, man.
No pork allowed.
Say, man, you seen this girl?
I seen the top of her head.
That's good.
Stop this motherf***er.
He's crazy. Where's my piece?
He ain't nothing. Take him out.
He's motherfucking crazy.
He's a f***ing Italian puke!
Freeze, motherf***er!
Come on, man. Please. Put the gun away.
All right. Who else wants some?
You're destroying the image of my place.
You'll never be the f***ing man.
You'll never be the man.
Get over here!
Hold it, man. Don't do me ugly.
Listen. I know where the chick is.
She's upstairs.
- Yeah? She's upstairs?
- 2-C. I swear, man. It's 2-C.
This isn't what it looks like.
Listen, he's my cousin. He's a cop.
I didn't know they had all of this.
Get out of here.
You having a good time?
Pretty good time.
What is this sh*t? You wanna get high?
You wanna get high?
You're acting stupid, man! Stop it!
Stop. You playing the cop, I'm tired of it.
I'll show you what time is
'cause you'll do tall time.
Just take it, it's yours.
Three grand. It's in the mattress.
You want to f***ing bribe me, man?
Put your clothes on. We're going home.
Stop it.
I'm tired of you. You shut up!
Don't you understand that there are people
out there who love you.
Right. Keep talking. Keep flapping.
In my business!
Is this your school stuff?
It's my math homework and my history.
You gonna write me another note, Nico?
Come on. We're going home.
No, you go home. I'm tired.
I'll give you something, something big.
