8-8-1-7-4-6.

Mr. Giancana, is it not true

that you controI

the entire Chicago Mafia,

which you took over

when Tony Accardo retired?

I decIine to answer

on the grounds

that my answer might tend

to incriminate me.

Mr. Giancana,

is it not true that you are now

the most powerfuI

Mafia figure in America?

I decIine to answer

because I honestIy beIieve

that my answer might

tend to incriminate me.

And that you run

much of Las Vegas?

I decIine to answer

because I honestIy beIieve

that my answer might

tend to incriminate me.

Mr. Giancana, is it true

that if you have any, uh,

opposition from anyone,

that you have them stuffed

into the trunk

of a car and murdered?

I decIine to answer

because I honestIy beIieve

that my answer might

tend to incriminate me.

I thought that onIy

IittIe girIs hid behind

that kind of an answer,

Mr. Giancana.

I decIine to answer.

Mr. Giancana,

how Iong do you pIan--

Come on, you tryin' to knock

me down the f***in' stairs?

Get out of here!

Come on, peopIe,

give us a break.

Seven is a Ioser.

Hey.

Hey, Sam.

You said you

wanted to meet.

No probIem, hey,

it's simpIe.

Did you think

I was gonna hide?

Hah, it's not how

I do stuff.

It's not my styIe.

Head on, that's the way I work.

Isn't that what happens

in a train wreck?

Head on.

Sam, I wasn't skimming, okay?

So don't come to me with the accusations

about skimming, aII right?

I know what you was thinking.

I don't take you

for an idiot, Sam, pIease.

PeopIe Iearned

not to do that years ago.

AII I was doing is Iike what we aII

do here. We aII just take

- our IittIe piece of the action, right?

- Sure.

I mean that's how it works,

Okay, fine fine.

Fine, Sam, okay!

Don't f***in' cry.

Don't cry.

Ow!

Oh!

Not Iike with the others.

I got insurance, Sam.

Insurance.

I know about you

and the Kennedy kid,

the one that's running for President,

the one whose brother keeps asking you

- the questions on TV?

- ReaIIy?

Yeah, I know about the deaI

you're making with them.

How you're gonna get

John F. Kennedy eIected,

and how his oId man is gonna get

the heat off of you if you deIiver.

I know aII about this,

I wrote it aII down,

I put it

in a safety deposit box

and I gave the key

to somebody eIse.

And if something bad

happens to Russian Louie,

it's goin' to

''Life'' magazine, Sam.

Insurance.

You a funny guy!

I Iove it!

You puIIed a fast one, huh?

I had to do it, Sam.

Everybody shouId

stab me now, eh?

Look at this, Iike-- ah!

F***ing mother.

You ain't off the hook.

No, hey, I owe you the money,

I toId you I'd pay you.

- A deaI's a deaI.

- A deaI's a deaI.

This is the Ietter he was

gonna send to ''Life'' magazine.

You beIieve that?

He actuaIIy wrote the f***in' thing.

''Dear 'Life'...''

''You don't know me--''

BIah bIah bIah...

Kennedy...

''Yes, it is true.

The money from iIIegaI...''

What is that word?

- SIuts?

- That's a ''U''.

- Money from iIIegaI suits?

- SIuts.

- Acts.

- Acts.

- Read the next thing.

- ''...acts of the mafia

are financing the campaign

of the possibIe future President

of the United States.''

''If this Ietter is

received by you,

it wiII mean

that I have been kiIIed.

I hope that it may heIp

to put Sam Giancana behind bars

where he beIongs.''

Make it something

totaIIy ridicuIous.

Five's a winner.

I had that!

Chips, pIease.

15, 19.

Card?

Oh, sorry.

Maybe next time,

Ms. McGuire.

Hmph.

Here you go, DoII.

What's going on?

CoupIe of buIIets.

Cards, anyone?

SpIitting aces,

21, 20.

DeaIer has 18.

You know, miss, someone Iike you

shouId be wearing reaI jeweIs.

That broad's not very

good at this, you know?

She's aIready down a Iot.

I don't care what she's down.

Just Iet her keep Iosing.

You got it, Mr. G.

I want to settIe up.

Sir?

TotaI's at the bottom,

Ms. McGuire.

Thank you. Mmm.

Do yourseIf a favor.

Stick to singing.

If you don't mind, I'II stick

The way you pIay cards, you're gonna

Did anyone ever teII you

- Not recentIy.

- Let me be the first.

- Sign somewhere?

- It's been taken care of.

I beg you pardon?

Forget it.

SettIe up after the show.

Are you aIways

this smooth?

- Eat the marker.

- Yes, sir.

I stand here tonight,

facing West,

on what was once

the Iast frontier.

Oy!

From the Iands that stretch

3,000 miIes behind us, the pioneers...

I met with Joe Kennedy, his oId man,

he wants to know if we got a deaI.

The Irish don't do deaIs.

They just cIutter up

the bars with a Iot of Ioud taIk

they don't remember

the next day.

The most treacherous

bunch of heathens I ever met.

And that punk ain't

no different.

His brother's even worse.

Are you nuts?

You spend aII this dough paying off

two big Chicago poIiticians

and I'm offering you

the next President.

AII you gotta do is

deIiver votes in Chicago

and heIp him get money

into West Virginia.

Hey, Fred, I wouIdn't be

in a Iegitimate business

for aII the f***in' money

in the worId.

Sam, I'm doin' you a favor.

You get Joe Kennedy,

and you ain't got no more probIems.

...the frontier of the 1960s.

The frontier of unknown

opportunities...

Ooh!

Oh!

They're reaI.

''To PhyIIis, from Sam.''

- Who's Sam?

- I don't know.

- Who's Sam?

- I don't know. I don't,

I don't, I don't.

Somebody Iikes me.

Mr. Giancana?

Give this to PhyIIis McGuire.

- Now?

- Yeah, now.

Yes, sir.
