Is that what you think?

Because I don't.

You know what I think?

I think I'm a dead man.

I'm one in the back of the head.

That's what I think.

Caesar, what are we going to do?

Well, I know what Johnnie

wants me to do.

Johnnie wants me to run.

He wants me out of here.

But if I run, then everybody

thinks I f***ing did it,

and he gets away

with 2 million clean.

I can see him right now,

on the way to get Gino,

laughing at me.

Laughing at me. Laughing at me!

Laughing at me! Laughing at me!

F***ing laughing at me!

- Cea, Cea...

- Don't, Violet, please.

Don't touch me, OK?

I gotta think. I gotta

f***ing think this through!

- Caesar...

- No. No, Vi.

I think we should run.

We should go.

We have to go now

before it's too late.

No, please, Violet,

leave me alone!

Please! All right?

Just leave me the f*** alone!

All right, Caesar.

I- I-I just, I got

to think. That's all.

I-I-I just got to think.

- It's me.

- What happened?

He totally freaked out.

I've never seen him like this.

He's out of his f***ing mind.

All right, as long

as he believes it was Johnnie.

Believes it? Jesus.

It's driving him crazy.

He wants to kill him.

I don't know, Corky.

I don't know.

I'm getting nervous.

I'm getting really nervous.

I don't know

what he's gonna do.

It's all right, Violet.

It's working.

All we gotta do is wait him out

and see what he does.

What if he doesn't run?

That means he'll

probably kill Johnnie.

Oh, Christ.

I have to get out of here.

Listen.

If he doesn't run,

all you gotta do is break down.

Go into the bedroom

and pack some things.

Start crying. Tell him you

love him, but you can't take it.

You're sorry, but you

gotta leave. Just walk out.

All right. OK.

We're almost there.

Just hang on.

He's coming.

I got it.

I know what I have to do.

- I have to get the money back.

- The money? The money's gone.

No, no, no. Johnnie's got it.

I gotta get it back.

But it could be anywhere.

There's not enough time,

Violet.

Johnnie's picking up

Gino at the airport, right?

That means he's

probably got the money with him.

He's probably got it in the car.

He didn't see you, did he?

- No.

- Good.

That's good.

So that means I got the edge.

He doesn't know I know.

That's why he put

the paper in the case.

He wants me to hand it to Gino.

Then there's no doubt I did it.

Gino will put a bullet

in me himself.

But that's not gonna happen.

That jackoff's not gonna set

me up. No way, not like this.

This is insane.

What are you doing?

I'm leaving. I don't want

any part of this sh*t.

I don't wanna be involved.

- You can't leave.

- The hell I can't.

I need you.

You don't need me.

You've never needed me.

I can't help you. Understand?

I can't let you leave, Violet.

If you're not with me

I assume you're against me.

Caesar, this is crazy.

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

Maybe you dropped that bottle

of Scotch by accident.

Maybe you didn't.

It would have been so easy

to let him in as you left.

You can't believe that.

I've seen the way

he looks at you.

He's always wanted you.

Maybe 2 million bucks

finally bought you.

I'm sorry, Violet.

I want to trust you.

I hope you understand.

I don't have any other choice.

You sure you don't want a drink?

Hello?

- Yeah, we're here.

- Hey, Johnnie.

- Open the f***ing door.

- Sure. Come on up.

Gino.

Good to see you.

Vi, look who's here.

- Hello, Gino. How are you?

- Che bella.

- You shouldn't have hit me.

- You wanna get into this now?

No, Caesar, not now. Hah! Ha ha!

You are as radiant

as ever, Violet.

Gino, Glenlivet, right?

And I'll have whatever

Violet's drinking.

- I'm not drinking.

- Well, neither will I.

No, I'll have

a Tanqueray and tonic.

Mmm. Caesar, 2 T-and-Ts.

Salute, huh?

Roy, Pop, Violet, Caesar.

No, no, son.

No, Johnnie, no.

- I gotta make a bet.

- No goddamn phone. Not now.

Cesare, come and sit.

We're going to talk now.

Johnnie, you, too. No, no, no.

Cesare, look at me.

Johnnie said to me

what happened.

Cesare, you got to

do me a favour.

A personal favour for me, huh?

You got to start respecting

Johnnie the way you respect me.

Capisce? Good. Good.

And you, Johnnie, you got

to stop acting stupid.

You gotta earn this respect

that Cesare's gonna give.

Capisce?

Good. Done.

Now...

Where is my money?

We know how this was done, eh?

Yeah. I know.

- And it won't happen again, eh?

- No.

Good. Done. We go now.

Wait a minute, Pop.

Jesus Christ.

You got 2 hours

till your plane leaves.

Che minchia stai facendo?

So just relax. Have a drink.

Stronzo.

Cesare, ancora del Glenlivet.

So, Caesar, tell me something.

What did it total out at?

- 2.176.

- Unbelievable.

- Can you believe that, Violet?

- Johnnie...

Come on. I just want

to know one thing.

Just one thing after he made

such a big deal about it.

I bet it wasn't such

a big deal, huh, Caesar?

- What's that, Johnnie?

- The money.

I bet it wasn't nothing

to make it clean

after you made such a

big f***ing deal about it.

What did I tell you?

It's important to me.

It's a simple question.

If he'd just answer,

that's the end of it.

Where's this going, Johnnie?

Just admit it.

- Admit what?

- That you overreacted.

YOU lost it. Not me.

It was YOUR mistake.

You want to play it this way?

I can play it this way.

You want to know

who made a mistake?

Open the case.

- Caesar...

- Shut up, Violet.

This is between me and Johnnie.

You want to do this now?

Let's do it.

Open the f***ing case.

Open the case.

- Where's the f***ing key?

- You don't need a key.

Then how the f***

can I open it?

- The same way you did before.

- What are you talking about?

All right, Johnnie.

Violet?

Get me another drink.

What is this?

Don't. Don't you f***ing move.

- Where is it, fuckface?

- Where's what?

The money!

OK, Caesar, I don't know

what you're thinking here,

- if you don't put the gun...

- Sit down.

Caesar, what is it?

Gino, your son stole

this money to set me up.

He f***ing stole it,

and I can prove it.

Violet, tell them. Tell them!

For God's sake, Johnnie,

do what he says.

For Christ's sake...

This isn't happening.

Son of a...

The next one blows off

your f***ing dick.

I'm looking at a dead man.

You're a f***ing dead man.

Enough!

- Basta!

- Gino, don't.

You point the gun at me?

You know who I am?

I'm Gino Marzzoni, capisce?

Non essere stupido.

Dammi la pistola.

- No, Gino, please.

- Dammi la pistola.

Gino, sit down.

We're... we're family, Cesare.

Your family, Caesar.

Family.

Now...

Give it to me.

Good man.

Don't shoot.

I had to do it, Violet.

You saw it.

I had no choice.

It was Johnnie.

Lying rat-f***.

He made me do it.

You stupid f***! You think

you could set me up, huh?

I'm a dead man, Johnnie?

I'm a f***ing dead man?

Guess again, Johnnie.

Who's the dead man? Who?

Who's dead, fuckface? Who?

Who? I can't hear you, Johnnie.

Guess again.

Take another guess, Johnnie.

Take another f***ing guess.
