George, bring the car out front.
We're letting you go,Johnny,
so that you can
tell Don Angelo
to lay off.
Somebody hit our construction yard
Something like that happens again,
he's gonna get Mitch's right arm
in the morning mail.
He'll listen.
He wouldn't want Mitch hurt.
Me, I'm a son-in-law.
I'm expendable.
Yeah. Yeah, let's talk about that.
They may be bluffing.
No. They're up against a wall
and they know it.
Okay.
Tell 'em it's a deal.
They don't hurt Mitch,
I don't hurt them.
When you get home,
contact the commission.
I want pressure on the Fargos
to let Mitch go.
Another thing--
they want me to fink for them.
I was thinking, suppose I
pretend to go along with them?
That's a dangerous position
to be in,Johnny.
If they find out--
What I am,
I am because of you, Don Angelo.
Tell Tony and Vince
you'll go along with their proposal.
Tell them that I'm very, very sick.
You understand?
Ah.
Louie.
Signor Orlando.
Things are getting a little rough.
You sure you want to hang around here?
Want coffee?
No, thank you.
The commission
ordered me to come.
They want me to work out
some kind of a settlement.
Spell it out.
First, they want you
Second, they want you--
Listen, there are
three things we want.
One, no more attempts
to nail Frank.
Two, Frank's interests
merge with us.
Three, DiMorra pays for the damage
to our construction company...
and leaves us alone
from now on, okay?
Joe Lucci's already
agreed to those points.
Are you serious?
Joe Lucci's word isn't worth
yesterday's garbage.
Come on.
We don't make a move...
until Don Angelo himself agrees
in front of the commission.
What is it? Go ahead.
The kid in Florida just called.
Don Angelo's dead.
We got lucky.
I think that calls for a drink,
don't you?
Sure. Get the glasses.
Frank?
We got no reason now
to keep Mitch and Lazatti.
Why not?
They'll be too busy trying to
hold things together to bother with us.
He's right. He's right.
We let them go.
Pete, you're okay.
Yep.
Mitch, thank God you're safe.
I need a drink.
Come inside.
Angie! Angie!
Angie!
[ Laughing ]
Hey, you son of a gun.
[ Chuckling ]
You son of a gun.
You're still ugly.
Why didn't somebody tell us?
It was the only way
of springing you.
The Fargo boys
think you're dead.
Tomorrow they'll find out different.
[ Knocking ]
Come in.
Vince? Johnny Tresca.
I'm over here at Sam Zutti's place.
Look, the word is out.
Everybody knows about Don Angelo.
God rest his soul.
Hang on a minute, will you?
Zutti wants to talk to you.
Hello, Vince? This is Sam.
We got a proposition for you.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, what do you say we meet
at Benny's Diner over on Marion Street,
say, in about an hour?
About an hour. Right.
Sam Zutti...
wants to have a meeting
about throwing in with us.
You know, he comes under our wing,
we got about 40 percent
of the numbers in this city.
Let's get it on.
Yeah.
Hey, where's Tony?
For what?
I gotta find Tony.
Anybody seen my brother?
No.
You seen Tony?
Yeah.
He said something about going over
to the south side.
Hey, vince.
Keeping the man waiting.
Shansky, we got work to do.
You, too, Fagin.
Custard pie and a glass
of skim milk, please.
No skim milk.
Oh. Tea.
Benny's Diner.
Benny here.
One of you guys
named Fagin?
- Yeah?
A-OK.
Yeah. Positive.
Where's the john?
Over there.
Leave it as clean
as you find it.
What's it got, a gold star
from Good Housekeeping?
What do you say, Fagin?
In the can.
And if I were you,
I wouldn't come out till tomorrow.
And leave it
as clean as you find it.
There's nobody in there.
I don't like the looks of this.
Keep going.
It's a setup, Vinnie!
Get the hell out of here!
[ Gunshot ]
Vinnie!
Vinnie! Vinnie! Vinnie!
Vince. Hey, Vince.
Oh, God.
Nice. Nice.Just lift it?
Yeah. Parking lot
over at Howard Johnson's.
Let me get a light.
I want to see the engine.
Sure. Be my guest.
Nature calls.
[ Coughing ]
Where's Vince?
Where's Vince?
Him and Frank went
for a meeting with Zutti.
It was a setup.
Frank took one look
at what happened here,
and he beat it for Orlando's.
Vince bought it, Tony.
I guess you
don't need us anymore.
[ Tony ]
Where the hell
do you think you're going?
So we got hit.
Those bastards
are gonna pay for it.
When they come begging on their knees,
we're gonna kick their faces in.
Is that clear?
Okay. You split up into pairs.
You hit them hard
and you hit them quick.
Diego, Augie,
break the city down into areas,
then work through each section.
at 1 0:
00 tonight.Move!
Okay.
Harold, keep circling
the block.
They told me.
[ Sobbing ]
Oh, Tony!
You and Rosey'll be
perfectly safe here.
There won't be
any trouble.
What about you?
I'll be all right.
Come on, now.
I want you to go upstairs
and lie down, okay?
Come on, now. Come on.
Come on.
Tony, be careful.
Please be careful.
I have to. I've got
a family to take care of.
I have to go now.
I've got a lot of things to do.
Okay.
[ Knocking ]
Yes?
Tony's here.
All right.
Good to see you, Ton.
Jesus.
It shouldn't have happened
that way, Frank.
Why did you let Vince do it?
Why didn't you wait for me?
You should've known
it was a setup, Frank.
You let him walk
right into it.
You didn't have to.
You can't put all the blame
on Frank, Tony.
You wanna take it?
I got guys bleeding in the streets,
and you sit here
safe as a snake on eggs.
Sometimes you don't get the breaks.
Breaks? You walked into a trap
a ten-year-old kid
could see six blocks away.
Look, I was the one out there
getting my ass shot!
Yeah, well, if you had any smarts,
nobody would have got shot at,
That was a decision
I had to make.
It was your last one, Frankie,
'cause from now on, nobody
takes step one without my okay.
Bullshit!
I'm telling you, you're just
a piece of meat in this fight.
I've got the men, I've got the guns,
and I'm calling the shots.
All right, Ton. Okay.
We'll do it your way for now.
What do you want me to do?
I need cash.
War costs money.
I haven't got any cash.
What happened to the profit
on that last shipment of dope?
I put it all into the second lot.
In fact, I've got to go back to Italy
You're going... tonight.
Maybe things would still be the same
if I hadn't got that letter about Ruby.
Listen, somebody did you a favor.
You got rid of a two-timing broad,
and you found out
what Angelo's really made of.
- I've been dumb, Louie.
Did everything wrong.
I got nothing.
No family, nothing.
