Black Mass Page #6

- Tulsa?

- Mmm-hmm.

Oh.

So, what does some random

jai alai guy in Tulsa

have to do with Whitey Bulger?

Whitey was

pulling down some serious coin

in jai alai until Wheeler

bought the f***ing thing,

and he didn't want to

cut Whitey in for a piece.

So...

You two know

anything about this?

Go on.

Bulger paid me 20 grand

to keep quiet about the hit.

Listen, you gotta protect me.

'Cause if you don't, I'm f***in' dead!

What weapon was used on Wheeler?

How should I know? I didn't do the hit.

- Johnny Martorano did.

- How do you know it was Martorano?

Look, I make my living

on the streets, okay?

All right?

I know these things.

Hey, look! Look at me!

You gotta protect me.

Well, so far,

you haven't given us anything

to merit protection.

Are you f***in' deaf?

I just gave you two f***ing names!

Where was this so-called

meeting taking place?

You...

All right, all right.

Okay.

I'm in Miami,

I hear Jimmy's in town, and

I tag along to a little spot

with, uh, Steve Flemmi,

Jimmy and this other guy...

Guy... Callahan.

And I'm just minding

my own f***ing business

and then Callahan says that he thinks

that Wheeler is gonna be a problem.

And then Jimmy says,

"Do you think his widow would be

willing to sell the franchise?"

- His widow?

- Mmm-hmm.

We all know what that means, right?

And then Flemmi asked me

if I could take care of it.

Would you take a lie detector?

Okay.

- Yeah?

- No.

'Cause then you might start asking me

other questions, right?

And next thing I know, boom!

You got me on, like, 15 other things

I didn't even do!

"Boom"? What did you not do, Brian?

Did you not kill your drug dealers

in a Chinese restaurant?

'Cause that's why you're really here.

That's all over the f***ing street,

so you thought you'd come in here

and try and cop some immunity

before the fact.

That's what's really going on, isn't it,

you coke-snorting piece of sh*t?

Connolly?

I'm a f***in' dead man!

What do you think?

I don't believe a f***ing word

that guy says.

I say we cut him loose.

He's a drug addict.

Morris?

Yeah.

He won't take a polygraph? Cut him loose.

Yeah.

Our dear Saint Patrick,

he fought off the British

and the Romans,

brutal outsiders who wanted to enslave

the good people of Ireland.

And, today,

well, today, we Bostonians

face a similar invasion.

Drugs, violent crimes

ravaging our communities.

You know, today, we fight a new fight.

A fight so our children

and their children,

and children for generations to come

can share the Boston

we hold so dear in our hearts.

So today, to all snakes, we say,

"Get the hell outta Boston!"

"You'll find no shelter here!"

To Saint Patrick!

Let's cheer for these boys! Come on, now!

Billy Boy! Billy Boy!

How are you? Good to see you.

Hey! Jimmy! Where the f*** have you been?

I been looking for you everywhere.

Ooh, hey. Come here with me. Come here.

Don't you f***ing ever talk to me

in public like that again.

Did you kill Roger Wheeler?

The businessman from Tulsa.

Did you have him killed?

Why the f*** would I go to Tulsa

to kill some f***ing prick

I don't even know?

That's bad for f***in' business.

I know that you have a hand

in the World Jai Alai, huh?

And suddenly, the new owner gets shot.

I suggest you think these things through

before you make unfounded

accusations against me.

All right, all right.

Just.

By the way, let me ask you a question.

How did you know

we was involved in jai alai?

Happy Saint Patrick's Day. How are you?

Everybody always commented

on my work, right.

- Sure, they did.

- They did!

They did! I was in the low post,

I was driving it in hard.

Like f***in' McHale!

- You gotta be f***in' with me.

- I was!

You got short arms!

I don't got short arms.

You know who had short arms?

Nate "Tiny" Archibald had short arms.

So there's hope.

Ah, f***!

F***! Oh, God! Oh, God!

Jimmy! No!

No, no, no, no! No, no, no, no, no! No!

McGUIRE:
Morris!

Connolly!

Brian Halloran was just gunned down

in broad f***ing daylight.

You want to tell me how the f***

you just let him walk out the door?

We're not running a hotel, Charles.

The guy wouldn't even take

a polygraph test.

How did word even leak

that Halloran was in here?

Huh?

Are you pointing the finger at me?

Should I be?

I don't know, Charles.

You know, people talk.

What are we supposed to do, huh?

Put this piece of sh*t in

the Witness Protection Program

when we can't even validate

a single f***ing thing he says?

And you're pointing the finger at me?

You know, I'm trying to

bring down the Italian Mafia

with the help of Jimmy Bulger

and you're pointing the finger

at f***ing me?

F*** you!

Hey.

You motherfuckers from Southie

have some kind of

sick f*ggot love for each other?

Did you just call me a f*ggot, huh? Huh?

- Hey! Hey!

- Huh? Huh?

- Come here!

- That's it.

F***ing f*ggot!

You're making my point exactly, Connolly.

- Come on!

- I'm putting an end to this.

Bulger and Flemmi informer sh*t.

- Oh, you can't do that! No!

- You cannot tell me

that they're not connected

- to this killing!

- F***ing relax. F***ing relax!

You cannot f***ing tell me that!

It's too important! You can't do it!

- Guys, guys, guys!

- Lt's f***ing over.

You gotta f***ing listen to this.

It's Angiulo.

I think we finally f***ing got him.

Well, RICO does not cover us.

Isn't that right?

Mr. Angiulo, we're not

infiltrating legitimate businesses.

I wouldn't be

in a legitimate business

for all the f***ing money in the world.

We're selling marijuana,

we're not infiltrating.

We're illegal here, legal there.

Arsonists. We're every f***in' thing.

- Pimps? So what? Prostitutes?

- Yeah.

Yeah, we're a f***ing bookmaker.

Bookmaker.

And finally,

they hit the mother lode.

They got Angiulo talking

bookmaking, loan-sharking,

his use of arson,

how he handled his pimps and his pros.

You must have heard,

they called him "The Mafia Hunter,"

"the Bureau's Shining Star,"

"the man who cleaned out

Boston's underworld."

He was, uh... He was a superstar.

Mr. Martorano,

were you in Miami in the spring of 1982?

Yes.

"OLSEN". Was John Connolly in Miami

in the spring of 1982 as well?

Yes, he was.

Describe the circumstance

that led to all of your being

in Miami at that time.

Celebrating Angiulo's arrest,

but, at the same time,

making the alliance,

the bond between

Jimmy and Connolly stronger.

"OLSEN". How was that?

Jimmy had some loose ends to tie up.

I think he thought having Connolly along

wasn't such a bad idea.

"CALLAHAN". Hey, Jimmy!

Whitey!

Just for the record,

you killed John Callahan

that night in Miami.

Shot him in the head, and stuffed him

in the trunk of his own car.

Yes.

Was John Connolly

aware of that fact?

Yes, he was.

I see.

Is that a new suit?

Uh...

It's flashier, no?

Those lapels, that tapering.

I see you got a nice,

new gold watch there, too.

What are you getting at, Marianne?

I'm not getting at anything.
