Boss of Bosses Page #5

Synopsis: This film follows the life of Paul Castellano, a mobster who rose in the ranks of New York City's Gambino crime family with the help of his considerable intelligence until he was picked to become the reigning don of the family in the 1970s. Flush with his power, he charts a new course for the mob with the emphasis on a low profile approach exploiting quiet crime business like labour union control while promising to deal with murderous severity anyone he catches dealing with drugs. Yet for all the sureness of his position's authority, his own indiscretions in his personal life provide complications of his own. With this being combined with the growing restiveness of his underling's discomfort with his quiet approach and the FBI agents who are determined to bring him down, then the stage is set for a tragic fall.

can get ruined.

The legit building permits, the bids.

Even the unions will turn their backs.

Bazzini's all they got.

Sure, they busted Agro,

but he won't roll.

Cowboys.

They don't listen.

Can't work clean.

It's gotta stop.

Piney, we have to send a message

to Bazzini's family.

Whack his wife?

Are you crazy?

You talk through your ass

because your mouth knows better.

What's wrong with you?

You put 50IK in Bazzini's account.

- He'll understand.

- That we can be nice. Good move.

Then Agro.

Use our Florida contacts

inside the jail down there.

You help Tommy remember

who we reward and who we punish.

While I'm in Florida testifying,

we start cleaning up loose cannons.

Who you got in mind?

You know who they are.

For starters, that maniac, DeMeo.

He loves killing too much.

And Sacco...

...always with the drugs! He's next!

Clean house, huh?

Right, clean house.

Consider it done and clean.

Let's make the time productive

while I'm away.

And while I'm down there...

...they say I have to go.

They can't blame me

for what happens while I'm away.

That's very smart.

A vacation would be nice.

Yeah.

Why not?

Gloria, I just want to be with you.

No. It's wrong.

Your wife.

If two people feel this way,

how can it be wrong?

I don't know.

How do you feel about me?

- You have given me a better life.

- That's all?

And the money I make,

I send to my parents.

It has made their life better.

So is that what this is about?

You care about me because of your job?

No, no. That's not...

You know what? Forget it.

Really, forget it.

No, no. Paul...

...I can't say how I feel.

We are in this house...

...and you are married.

You are my boss.

Can't you see...

...I can't tell you

what's in my heart.

Then you forget that I'm your boss.

Forget that you work for me.

Forget the bad things that happened,

because I can make it better.

I can make all the bad stuff go away,

Gloria.

Just look at me as a man

who cares about you.

All I want to hear

is how you feel about me.

Just tell me.

Tell me.

How do you feel about me?

- Have you completely lost your mind?

- I don't want to discuss it.

Taking her to Florida?

What will people think?

- Have you no respect?

- I don't want to talk about it!

I forgot, you're the boss now.

Nina...

...where's my gold cuff links?

Ask the maid to find them.

You like it?

Nice.

You want to rob him of his tip?

Come on.

You've been serving all your life,

it's time somebody served you.

Here you go.

Thank you, sir.

Hey, I'm walking here!

I'll take you both

and squeeze you like a sandwich.

See you later.

I've got something for you.

You got something for me?

We got something for each other.

- You first.

- Sure.

Get in the car.

We'll do it in the car.

- Hey, kids, look what I got.

- Hey, what the...?

I can't believe I'm here.

Well, believe it,

because you are here.

And you're here with me.

Thank you, Paul.

- For what?

- Everything.

For showing me the beauty in life.

After dinner, I want to see

your new outfits.

- We will go places?

- Going places, doing things.

Whenever I'm not in court.

Will it be okay?

It's gonna be fine.

You trust me.

It's gonna be okay.

Three minutes, in and out.

- Check.

- Let's do it.

Let's go.

Us too. Another one.

Compliments, Mr. Castellano.

Cheers. To you.

Everyone looks happy for you.

I testified, they lost their witness.

Nothing came of it.

They're sending me champagne

to celebrate.

Are they powerful men?

Yes.

As powerful as you?

That you don't need to know.

I know they are not.

Hard faces, hard eyes...

What is my face like then?

You have the face of a thinker...

...a man of deep feeling.

Maybe too deep.

You see all that?

I feel it.

- Welcome back. Nice timing.

- Everything all right?

Good. Tommy.

Give me a hand.

It'll be okay.

This is my home...

...not a whorehouse!

Everybody's calling me!

Everybody here knows!

"Nina, be quiet. Be still now".

You and that girl!

You know how many people

must be laughing at you?

At me!

At our family!

Gloria, man.

It's like a tornado hit that house.

The Yoko Ono of the Gambino family.

- What are you doing?

- I'm leaving.

All this, you can have it.

I'll just take my clothes.

I'll go live with Connie.

Nina, this is your home.

It's not right.

- I don't want you to go.

- You want too much.

You can't have it all.

I still have my dignity.

You can't take that away.

Neil, good seeing you.

- John.

- How are you?

Good.

- Nina, she's not here?

- No, she's at Connie's.

Gloria.

Neil, you look terrible.

Are you all right?

Forget about it.

Nothing tastes right anymore.

Bad kidneys, lazy pump.

Doctor says I need more tests.

But what do they know, right?

But don't worry.

Johnny's been running the crew

while I was in the hospital.

I'm worried about you, Neil.

I'll be fine.

I'd just like you

to give John your blessing.

So, John, you ready for a step up?

That would be a great honor.

I'll do anything to prove my loyalty.

With Neil's supervision, of course.

The kid here, no better earner.

Not that I can remember.

Promise me you'll give him

your support.

Of course.

John, I have some business

to discuss with Neil.

Yeah, sure.

Listen, I think we got a problem.

All these clips while you were away,

lifting the Brasco contract...

...the feds all over us...

...the guys, they're getting nervous.

I'm getting nervous too.

Piney's hearing things on the street.

And I don't like it.

What things?

Your people might be dealing.

What?

That's wrong. You know I'd

never stand for nothing like that.

Who is it? Tell me who?

Angelo Ruggerio and Gene Gotti.

That's the rumor.

I can't believe that.

How could I not know?

I can't believe that your boy

John doesn't know either.

I don't know what to say.

There's nothing to say.

You know the rule.

What do you want do?

Whack them all out?

You're not sure and you want me

to clip a guy who's like my son?

Neil, the rule is you deal, you die.

Rules! Rules! What rules?

These are gangsters!

-Tough guys! Things like this happen!

- Come on, I want to talk.

You're trying to turn this thing

of ours into AT&T and it's not!

We are what we are.

You gotta understand that.

It's all confusing to them,

all this white-collar stuff.

You know, unions, cement contracts...

...construction...

I don't even understand it!

It's when guys start thinking

of themselves.

That's when this will be destroyed.

- They're greedy from drugs.

- Can you blame them?

Yes, I can.

It's better to make 200 million

with no risk...

...than 500 million

with the feds up my ass!

Can't you see that? Doesn't anybody?

Am I the only one?

And don't tell me about tough guys.

As soon as today's tough guys

get caught and face hard time...

...they sing better than Pavarotti!

In our time...

Our time! Our time is gone!

Look...

...l've been loyal to you all my life.

When you were made Godfather...

..."I was happy for you".
