The Last Godfather

The cops!

Get them!

Come on!

Come on!

That's Tony V.

The only thing that matters

in this crazy world

is family.

Tu famiglia.

Everything else comes in second.

- Agreed?

- Agreed.

And that is why you are all here today.

So I want you to realize

the decision I've come to

I did not come to lightly.

It is time.

I am stepping down as don.

Stepping down?

Don Carini, this is-

State zitti. Respect!

Thank you, Anthony.

Don Carini, I think I speak

for everyone present.

You are too young to retire.

No, I am an old man.

I've lived a long life.

But nobody lives forever.

If you think that

this is the time to step down,

Don Carini,

then who are any of us

to question your wisdom?

Anthony, ever since

I took you in as a small boy,

you have been like a son to me.

I am humbled by your kind words.

I could always count on you

to think of the family first.

Until my dying breath.

You are loyal and respectful.

You know I care about the family

more than anything else in this world.

And that is why I want you

to help train my successor.

What?

Anthony, you are like a son to me,

but you are not my son.

All due respect, Don Carini,

but you don't have a son.

I do have a son.

He is the one I want

to take over the head of this family.

Remember when I had

to take a powder

during the last war

with the Bonfantes?

I jumped on a ship headed for Asia,

and there, in all places, Korea,

I met the woman

who captured my heart.

Soo Mi Park.

Skin like butter.

Hair as soft as silk.

We had a son together.

She named him...

Younggu.

The Bonfantes found out

where I was hiding

and they sent one of their zips.

And Soo Mi, my soulmate,

took the bullet that was intended for me.

I had no choice but to bring my young son,

Younggu, to an orphanage,

and return to America alone

to settle business.

But I never forgot about my boy,

my blood, my son,

Younggu.

Don Carini, I will go to Korea this instant

and bring your son home.

That won't be necessary, Macho.

The nun at the orphanage

is relocating here,

so they're coming together.

If he's anything like you, boss,

I'm sure he's a handsome guy, huh?

You got that right.

Don Carini, they're here.

They're here!

- All right, gotta go.

- Get up.

Step aside.

Younggu Carini,

I am your father, Gino Carini.

And you are my son.

You my father?

I'm your son?

I didn't know.

Thank you.

Thank you taking

such good care of my son.

How can I ever, ever

repay your kindness?

Caring for Younggu

was an absolute... joy.

He's a special boy.

Yeah.

It makes me sad to say goodbye.

Oh, Theresa-

Don Carini...

All due respect,

is this really your son?

He's hungry. It was a long trip.

I'm just saying.

It's a big job, running the family.

Maybe we can set him up in,

you know, Queens,

bookmaking,

or maybe loansharking.

Let me say this once more.

Younggu is my son,

and he's going to head this family.

If you have a problem with that,

then we have a problem.

Forgive me, Don Carini.

I got no problem.

Good, 'cause it's up to you, Tony,

to show him the ropes.

To get him up to speed

and to make sure

he's ready for the day

when he becomes

the capo de tutti capo.

Capisce?

O capito.

Spaghetti big problem.

Glass.

Okay.

Let me get this straight.

Don Carini has a son?

It must'a been when he hid out

during the last mob war.

Yeah. Carini just brought him over

from Korea.

And get this.

He just told all his men

his son is gonna be the next don.

A foreigner son?

That don't make sense.

It gets better.

This son,

my guy on the inside

said that he's a total moron.

Don Carini may be a rat,

but he's the smartest rat I ever met,

and he would not hand

the reins of his family

over to some simpleton.

We gotta test this son.

Give it to Bobby Donuts.

Don, about Bobby Donuts.

Divers found the body this morning.

Bobby Donuts.

He was a soldier for the Bonfantes.

No doubt payback for Harry the Horse.

You know, if these gang guys

keep killing themselves,

we're gonna be out of a job.

Good work, Jeff.

Word has it the Carinis

have stolen cargo from the airport.

Oh, yeah? Well, I gotta see that

with my own eyes.

And Don Carini has brought in

some fresh blood.

A new underboss.

- An import.

- From Sicily?

No, Korea.

They brought a guy in from Korea?

Oh, this is bad.

No. No, no, hey, no.

Oh, man, come on!

I just had her washed and waxed.

Look at this! Oh, man!

What an idiot.

She's the love of my life.

All right, wrap this thing up.

Get me a dossier on this new guy,

and let's see if we can't keep the city

from breaking out into an all-out mob war.

Will you guys find out

what dossier means?

Yeah, sure.

How's the body?

Stabbed? Was he shot?

He got on concrete boots?

Come on now, Younggu.

What's taking so long?

Come on, Younggu.

While we're young.

Why you look at me?

You look like a circus clown.

Younggu, you wanna be a made man,

you gotta look like a made man.

Man no maid.

Arturo, come here.

Hook him up with a sharkskin suit,

some silk shirts, Italian loafers,

the works. Okay?

It's gonna take longer than we thought.

Yeah, let's look around.

Show me something

with a wider lapel.

This guy is driving me nuts.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Wait. Stop it!

Not there.

Hey, wait a minute!

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Get it out!

Gimme that!

What is this?

Don't touch! Don't touch!

Okay.

Or I'll smack you!

Okay. School's in.

The Carini family controls everything

from Mott Street

to the Delancey Street park down there.

This is our turf.

Oh, our turf.

Yeah. Everything you see is ours.

- We get our cut...

- Stay right there!

...from every retail shop,

every construction project,

every trash pickup.

It's all ours.

Oh. Our trash.

Yeah. It's all ours.

It must hurt not getting picked by Don Carini.

Shut up.

We can't take this mamaluke

on rounds.

He's gonna make us look bad.

I know. I know.

Oop. Don't move!

- What is wrong with him?

- Look at this cucumber.

- Yeah, let's go.

- Come on.

- Come on.

- Sit down right here.

Sit.

Okay. We got some important

business to attend to.

We're gonna take a walk

around the block, okay?

Our block?

That's right, our block.

And I need for you to sit right here

and not move.

Can you do that?

Sit. Stay.

I like stay. I don't move.

Good boy.

- Good boy.

- Don't lose your hat.

Okay.

I don't care what Carini says.

This idiot's gonna wreck everything.

He looks older than my Uncle Eddie.

He looks older than your Uncle Eddie's

Uncle Eddie.

Those orphanages ain't exactly

the fountain of youth.

You think they're giving 'em

enough milk?

They should give kids more milk

in the orphanages.

Wow.

Whoa!

Wow!

Ooh! Too big, huh?

Okay.

What is this?

Underpants.

Okay.

Help!

Hey, you're coming

with me, all right?

You're coming with me!

Don't fight!

Get out of here, you bum!

Get outta here!

Hey, I save you, don't worry.

You're coming with me

all right? Come on!

Stop!

Good smell!
