00:01Good night on Wiseguys.
00:05You gotta renegotiate my deal.
00:07You don't have to renegotiate nothing.
00:09You're not being fair to the guy.
00:10Power changes people.
00:13Oh, yeah? I hadn't noticed.
00:16What kind of place you run in here?
00:18You're gonna lose it, sonny. You're gonna lose it.
00:20Patrice is gonna come in here and take everything.
00:23It's all about the payoff for you, Vinnie.
00:25We connect these cops and Joey to Steelgrave and he's going down.
00:56We have a dollar for you, Vinnie.
01:09You've got the money.
01:18We'll be here.
01:21We're going to lose it.
01:22We'll be here.
01:23We'll be here.
01:24We can take a look at Chan's Horse.
01:24We'll be here.
01:25We'll be here.
02:25And then we all walked through, we'd know I'd walk away right on the TV.
02:32Well, I was thinking about those times the other day, yeah, how the years slipped away.
02:40How much I miss you, my old friend.
02:52How much I miss you, my old friend.
03:12That's the way life is, rock and roll, rock and roll, rock and roll.
03:37Hey sonny, what's the matter, what's the crisis?
03:40I got to wake up and get dressed in the elevator.
03:43Something critical in the liquor cabinet or what?
03:46Someone's critical in the lounge.
03:49Romanowski's manager wants to renegotiate his contract.
03:52He told me that if I was nice, can you imagine that?
03:55Talks like that to me, that if I'm nice, he'll give me his boy for Thanksgiving.
03:59What am I?
04:00So what's the big surprise?
04:01The guy's got a major head on his hands.
04:03Come in.
04:06Sonny.
04:08What'd you do with my manager?
04:10You got to get a new manager, Joey.
04:11Abe talked himself into a new line of work.
04:13I think he's in forestry now.
04:16What'd you do?
04:17What'd I do?
04:18I threw him out of Atlantic City.
04:19As a matter of fact, I threw him all the way out of Jersey.
04:21You got a problem with that?
04:23No problem, man.
04:25I'm on top of the world.
04:26I got a record so hot it's going to take the album gold, maybe platinum.
04:31Sonny, I've been playing these Jersey bars for two decades, up and down the shore, 25 years of whiskey and
04:38gagging on cigarette smoke.
04:40And now I got a hit.
04:42You got to renegotiate my deal.
04:44Nothing to renegotiate, nothing.
04:47Sonny, don't you see what's happening here, man?
04:49I got a chance to make a huge amount of bread, plate of 10,000, 12,000 people a night.
04:55It ain't going to last forever.
04:56It ain't going to last a year, but that's a year I can make a million dollars in.
05:00Sonny, let me take the year off.
05:03Look at me.
05:06I'm 44 years old.
05:07I'm a rock and roll dinosaur.
05:09I got a chance to make a debut and a farewell tour all in one fell swoop.
05:16I got a chance to survive when this crap's out.
05:20And that could be tomorrow.
05:21I'll move you up to the main room.
05:23I'll double your salary.
05:23But for four weeks, that's it.
05:27Sonny.
05:28Sonny, I'm on fire.
05:31Let me take advantage of it, huh?
05:33I'll come back.
05:34I'll do anything you want.
05:37But don't let me lose this.
05:39I got one little moment in the spotlight.
05:42I'm going to blink.
05:43It's going to be gone.
05:46Let me have it, Sonny.
05:49Please.
05:51What I want you to do
05:54is what's called for in your contract.
05:57Okay.
06:03What?
06:04Nothing.
06:05You know.
06:05No, no.
06:06I don't know.
06:06Tell me.
06:08Ah, listen.
06:09I'm not too good at this.
06:10You guys talk.
06:20All right, smart guy.
06:21Make his case.
06:22Come on.
06:25You know, this guy's been at this game long enough
06:27to know that life ain't just a limo ride, right?
06:30So it seems to me you let him go for six months,
06:33let him score some cash.
06:36He not only comes back a happier guy,
06:38but a bigger draw.
06:40You can't use that?
06:42Hmm.
06:43It makes sense.
06:44Yeah.
06:45If he was a Boy Scout.
06:48You know, sometimes you amaze me, Vinny.
06:50This guy leaves, he ain't coming back.
06:53He'll catch a break, make some bucks, go on tour.
06:55He'll run into a real smooth-talking West Coast rep.
06:58He'll convince him that the right thing to do
07:00is to break my deal.
07:01He'll get an expert lawyer who's great at breaking deals.
07:04He'll sue me.
07:05I'll get an injunction against him.
07:07He won't be able to sing anymore,
07:09so he'll become an actor.
07:10Except he can't act.
07:11So he won't get any work.
07:13Oh, hey, he'll get a couple of shots
07:14on one of those sitcoms,
07:15or maybe a game show.
07:16Joey Romanowski on Hollywood Squares.
07:19He won't work.
07:20He'll go broke.
07:21So what'll he do?
07:22He'll become a drug dealer
07:23to one of those rock and rollers,
07:24or even worse, a user.
07:25He goes to jail,
07:26or God forbid he comes back here,
07:28no voice, no nothing,
07:29and he's singing to a group of empty seats.
07:31And what about me?
07:31I'm stuck with my hands between my legs.
07:34You know, you can paint
07:34the real grim picture of success.
07:36You know that?
07:37Life in the fast lane, Vinnie.
07:39You're not being fair to the guy.
07:40What about being fair to me, huh?
07:42Why am I the bad guy?
07:43Because I expect an agreement
07:44to be lived up to?
07:45What are you, a Marxist, Vinnie?
07:47Sonny, you can throw mud on anything.
07:49I just don't see why you have to.
07:51Especially with Joey.
07:52He's always been a good guy.
07:56Power changes people.
07:58Oh, yeah?
08:01I hadn't noticed.
08:11Vinnie.
08:12You were fighting for me, weren't you?
08:14How'd I do?
08:15I guess I'm a lousy advocate.
08:17I'm not giving up that easy, man.
08:19Hey, hey.
08:21Hey, you remember where you are.
08:42I said to the guy, now listen.
08:44If you can't bring the money in,
08:46I'm going to get myself another bag, man.
08:48I mean, who the hell does this guy think he is?
08:51Hey, kid, come here.
08:55Oh, big shot now, huh?
08:56You don't come and see me no more, right?
08:58Come on in the back.
08:59We'll talk.
09:01Hey, it's really great seeing you.
09:03Good to see you too, man.
09:04Come on.
09:05Oh, you're looking good, Joey.
09:07Big star now, huh?
09:08I just got a shot to make a couple of bucks.
09:11Hey, what else is there?
09:13There's food.
09:14Hey, Sal, bring me a couple of number ones.
09:16Come on, sit down, kid.
09:18Talk to me.
09:20I need your help.
09:22I need you to intercede with Sonny for me.
09:25Look, I got an offer to tour,
09:27play some arenas, coliseums,
09:29make some really big bread.
09:31Sonny won't let me out of my contract.
09:32Well, gee, kid, a contract is a contract.
09:35Yeah, but this lawyer tells me
09:36I could breach my contract with Sonny,
09:38play the dates,
09:39and argue that my agreement with Sonny
09:41denies me the right to earn my full worth.
09:43And even if I lose,
09:44I'm still making more money than Sonny's paying me.
09:47Some guy once said,
09:49a true tragedy
09:50is when a busload of lawyers
09:52drives off a cliff
09:54and there's three empty seats.
09:56Who is this guy to give you advice?
09:58He's with ICA.
10:02You should know better
10:03than to trust the government.
10:05No, no, no.
10:05ICA's a big talent agency,
10:07really, really big.
10:08I'm not looking to get out
10:09of my contract with Sonny.
10:11I just want to cash in on the moment,
10:13you know,
10:13suck a little bit away for the future.
10:15Okay, look,
10:16I ain't gonna make no promises,
10:18but I'll talk to him, all right?
10:20Come on, eat your sandwich.
10:22Eat.
10:25What kind of place
10:26you run in here?
10:27Easy, Mac.
10:28You're gonna get a heart attack, right?
10:29You're gonna lose it, Sonny.
10:30You're gonna lose it.
10:31Patrice is gonna come in here
10:32and take everything.
10:34You're not gonna lose anything
10:35to Patrice.
10:36People think you're weak, Sonny.
10:37This punk crooner comes to me
10:39to make you change your mind.
10:40He's getting it from someplace
10:41you ain't in control.
10:43He's got delusion.
10:44Yeah, and where's he getting them?
10:45What happened to the sanctity
10:47of the contract?
10:48What about a deal is a deal?
10:49This causes disharmony.
10:51Disharmony causes
10:52dissension.
10:53First thing you know,
10:53you got anarchy,
10:54and then who needs
10:55Sonny Steelegrave?
10:58A guy needs taking care of him.
11:00Yeah, well,
11:01you have your guys
11:02take care of him.
11:03He's playing some
11:04college joint
11:05in my backyard.
11:06I don't want any
11:07of my people
11:07explaining anything to him.
11:12I got people
11:12in your backyard.
11:14Taught you pretty good,
11:15didn't I, kid?
11:18Yeah, Mac.
11:19You taught the socks
11:20off me.
11:22Come in.
11:25Excuse me, Sonny.
11:26This just came for you.
11:28Addressed to Dave Steelegrave
11:29and carried a Greco Marine.
11:31Where's it from?
11:32The Revere Mint.
11:35It's a present
11:36from my brother Dave.
11:37It's funny, isn't it,
11:38how things keep
11:39coming back to you?
11:41Memories?
11:41It's beautiful, huh?
11:43Yeah, yeah.
11:44All right.
11:48Zero, zero, one.
11:50Dave was always a book
11:51about limited editions.
11:54He was one himself.
11:58Yeah.
12:02It's beautiful, Sonny.
12:07Mac.
12:14Hey, where you guys going?
12:16Don't go.
12:17Don't you want
12:18to be a long kid?
12:19No, no, no.
12:20Stay with me, son.
12:22Stay with me, Mac.
12:23Come on, you stay with me.
12:24I like your company.
12:27Yeah, I, uh...
12:31I'm feeling a little, uh,
12:33a little funny.
12:35You're right, I'm, uh...
12:36I'm getting weak, Mac.
12:39I need to be with people
12:40that I knew before
12:41I had all of this.
12:44Hey, Sonny,
12:45call Joey Beggs.
12:55Joey Beggs.
13:02Yeah.
13:03Yeah.
13:04That's a good idea.
13:07Thanks, Mac.
13:10Hey, what's family for?
13:13Yeah.
13:15Come on and tell me,
13:16come on and tell me
13:17why you've been crying
13:18why you've been going to die
13:23baby, I'm rich with
13:25a certain affliction
13:28I was born
13:29to get this thing right
13:31baby, brother.
13:55Hey, Joey.
13:56Wait.
14:02Stupid.
14:04Hey, you're killing me.
14:06Yeah, you want to turn?
14:06No.
14:09Easy up.
14:12Your lucky day, singer.
14:15No more mistakes.
14:17No more mistakes.
14:23Hey, stupid.
14:28Hey, stop with the noise. I called the police.
14:35Did you see that guy?
14:36I was standing next to you, remember? Of course I saw him.
14:39No, no, I mean how dainty he was.
14:40He should have felt his thrower. I don't think he had an atom sample.
14:42Well, you don't know the way you handle it. What's the matter with you?
14:45Hey, what the hell, huh? That guy's probably a fairy.
14:58What do you feel like eating?
14:59Oh, I don't know. Beef or gravy, I think.
15:02All units in the area, University Alley and Commonwealth, respond to possible assault.
15:09And Hart Phillips, 5th Division Robbery. We'll take that call.
15:1210-4.
15:12Hey, Jack, that ain't smart.
15:14It's a job. Gotta do it.
15:17What the hell? It's one-stop shopping, right?
15:23You're a fun guy, Jack.
15:47You're a fun guy, Jack.
15:50Yoo-hoo. Police.
16:05And another one.
16:07Yeah, John Wayne.
16:08Hey, Duke, if you want me to go see Joey in the hospital, I'd better get going, huh?
16:13Look at your engraving on that, huh?
16:1624K. 24... Oh, and the Calvary medallion? That's gold, too.
16:19Oh, yeah?
16:19Oh, yeah. It's amazing.
16:21Yeah, right.
16:22Okay.
16:23All right.
16:25Now...
16:26I want you to explain to Joey how I feel about the sanctity of a contract.
16:30You make him understand that show business isn't just singing in the spotlight.
16:36Especially when the spotlight belongs to me.
16:40Yeah?
16:41Mr. and Mrs. Bagley are here.
16:43Show them in.
16:43I got these two people watching me.
16:47Joey Bag!
16:49Name the double-plate combo for the 56 Yankees.
16:51Joey Ball-Martin and Gil McDougal.
16:53First base.
16:54Muscowron!
16:55The hot corner.
16:55Andy Carey with Yogi Berra behind the plate.
16:58Oh, yeah, those were the days, huh?
17:01With you and my brother at the stadium.
17:03Donna Camilla, you look gorgeous.
17:06Salvatore.
17:07So, where the kids?
17:10Aldo's watching the store.
17:11Teresa's in the john fixing her face.
17:13Ah.
17:15What?
17:15What'd I say?
17:18Listen.
17:19Don Bagley.
17:20I want to introduce you to somebody.
17:21Vinnie Terranova.
17:22This is Don Bagley.
17:23How you doing?
17:24Joey Baggs.
17:25How are you?
17:26You a Bronx boy?
17:27Nah, Brooklyn.
17:29Who played right field for the 52 Bums?
17:31I don't know.
17:32It's a little before my time.
17:34So is Columbus, but you know about him.
17:36There are certain things that every Brooklyn boy should know, irregardless.
17:40Yes, sir.
17:41Yeah, well, uh, Vinnie's gotta make a trip to Philly.
17:45Ah, yeah. Don Bagley?
17:46Pleasure.
17:49Oh.
17:49Yeah.
17:51Let me know how it goes, huh?
17:52Okay, sonny.
18:01So, uh, this is the kid at your right hand now?
18:06Yeah, that's him.
18:07He should be brought into La Familia.
18:10Ah, he already made his bones, Joey.
18:12He should be brought in by the council.
18:13The ceremony should be performed.
18:15Oh, no.
18:16You mean that bit with the guns and the knives?
18:18Joey, this is the 20th century.
18:19And you know what's wrong with America in the 20th century?
18:22No sense of tradition.
18:24Don't you want to keep your roots alive?
18:26My gardener keeps my roots alive.
18:30Oh, I'm sorry.
18:31Don't mind me.
18:32Don't mind me.
18:32Come on. Let me get you a drink.
18:34Come on. Let me get you a drink.
18:35How's things in the Bronx?
18:36Good, sonny.
18:36Good, good.
18:37Everybody behaving themselves.
18:39Why not?
18:39Yeah, well, with you up there, I tell ya...
18:44Teresa.
18:49Ooh.
18:51Don't you ever get tired of looking gorgeous?
18:53I only do it when I'm around you, Sonny.
18:56I'm pacing myself.
19:06Me and you tonight, the boardwalk.
19:09You wanna walk on it?
19:11Or play in the sand underneath it?
19:15Joey Bags.
19:16Let me get you something at the crap table.
19:29Joey Bags.
19:29Hey, hey, hey.
19:30Relax, will ya?
19:32I'm not gonna touch you.
19:34I'm just delivering a message.
19:42Sonny wants you to know that, uh, as far as he's concerned, there's no hard feelings.
19:49And look, what I'm saying is that he can still be the best friend you ever had and keep you
19:54working.
19:56As long as you play ball.
19:58Look, you can't take these things personal.
20:01Sonny had a business decision to make.
20:04And now you do too.
20:05Now I think the smart move is to lie here nice and quiet.
20:10And when you heal up, you come back and work in the lodge until your contract's up.
20:15And if your records are still selling, Sonny will negotiate your new deal.
20:21I can't sing.
20:23What do you mean you can't sing?
20:26Voice box.
20:29Crushed.
20:32Sonny took away my life.
20:59An abandoned distillery.
21:01Thank God my old man's not alive to see this.
21:04What do you got?
21:05I got a slam dunk conspiracy case against Sonny and Mahoney.
21:08Well, the slam dunks are pretty flashy till you miss.
21:11Then you look like a jerk.
21:12No, this one's a can't miss.
21:14Sonny's got a rock and roller under contract by the name of Joey Romanowski.
21:18The guy who did Ronnie's song.
21:20No kidding.
21:21Well, I know who he is.
21:23What do you think?
21:24I live in a tree?
21:26That's a rhetorical question.
21:28Well, anyway, when his records started selling, he wanted to get out of his contract.
21:32They came here to get Mahoney to help him.
21:34But Mahoney tipped off Sonny.
21:37They found him three nights ago doing a solo engagement in an alley.
21:41Dead?
21:42No, just his career.
21:43It crushed his larynx.
21:46I think he'd do anything to get back at Sonny, including testify against him.
21:50We throw a net over Steelgrave and Mahoney.
21:52All we need is Patrice for the hat trick.
21:54I'll check the police report.
21:55We find the guys who muscle Joey.
21:57Maybe they'll ID him.
21:58All right.
21:58Meet you back here at 10 o'clock.
22:00Hey, Frank.
22:02Is your father really a boozer?
22:05Only on days of the week that ended in Y.
22:12Bye.
22:28Uh, babe?
22:29Here.
22:30Take care of this, all right?
22:31Put your cheese on.
22:34You take care of that, huh?
22:40Hi.
22:40Hi.
22:41Yeah, something I can do for you?
22:42Well, I hope so.
22:44Frank McPike, OCB.
22:45Ooh.
22:46Tom Henhart.
22:47How are you, Tom?
22:48Nice place you have here, huh?
22:49Yeah, yeah.
22:50My, uh, partner and I went in on it.
22:52It's great for the weekend, you know?
22:53Jack Phillips.
22:54Frank McPike, OCB.
22:56Listen, I wanted to talk to you guys about the report you turned in on Joey Romanoski.
23:00It says here you found him unconscious in an alley.
23:03Yeah, we scraped him out of the alley, a paramedic stumped him at the hospital.
23:06That was that.
23:06Anybody see it?
23:07No, no, not a soul, Frank.
23:09Do detectives usually roger these calls?
23:11I mean, don't your uniform types handle that action?
23:13Well, we just happen to be passing through the neighborhood.
23:16Uh, truth is, a couple of strip joints where we know the owners, you know?
23:21Uh-huh.
23:24The report goes on to say that the injuries appear to be accidental, possibly even self-inflicted.
23:29Well, you know how those rock and rollers are.
23:31Get a little famous, spend it on whatever they can shove up their nose.
23:35They all fall down the stairs a lot.
23:37Well, you know, that doesn't quite jive with the emergency room report.
23:41They didn't find any tracer drugs.
23:42Look, I don't care what jives with what, friend.
23:44I've been 12 years out on the street.
23:46I'm running on one kidney because some hophead stuck me with a screwdriver.
23:49Jack, come on.
23:52I hate the scum that's out there.
23:54I'll tell you what I hate even more.
23:56A guy who's supposed to be on my side who questions how I do the job.
23:59Actually, we thought he was beaten up by a Colombian connection we were investigating.
24:03He was just trying to tie the loose ends up here.
24:06Sure.
24:07Sorry to have bothered you, gentlemen.
24:22Hey, forget it.
24:23Forget it.
24:24He's got nothing, huh?
24:26He came out of here, didn't he?
24:28I must have something.
24:33Injuries appear to have been self-inflicted.
24:37Frank, have you ever known anybody to fracture their skull and crush their voice box on purpose?
24:41Come on.
24:42Once, the guy was evading the draft.
24:44Now, listen.
24:45When I talked to the detectives about this one, one of them went off like Mount Vesuvius.
24:50If these guys submitted a bogus report, then they're the ones that scrambled Joey.
24:53They're on Steelgrave's pad.
24:57Eighteen months in the slam, six months undercover.
25:00It's all about to pay off for you, Vinnie.
25:02We connect these two cops and Joey to Steelgrave.
25:04He's going down.
25:10Let me see.
25:18You make the guy McPike's with?
25:20Totally unfamiliar.
25:23But only for a moment, huh?
25:24What the hell is the matter with you, huh?
25:26I told you to slap Joey around a little bit, not make him a mute.
25:29How good is he to me now, huh?
25:30Yeah, well, I guess I got carried away.
25:32Now, look, we got a problem.
25:33There's a fed named McPike.
25:34He's asking questions about your musical genius.
25:36And we followed him last night.
25:38And he met some guy.
25:39Whoa, whoa, whoa.
25:40What guy?
25:40What guy?
25:41Who?
25:41I don't know.
25:42We took some shots of him.
25:43We'll bring him over to you and you can figure it out.
25:45What are you, stupid, huh?
25:46Are you really that stupid?
25:48Tell me.
25:48You'll send me nothing.
25:49I will call you and arrange a time and a place for a pickup.
25:54Yes, Mr. Steelgrave.
25:56Find Vinny.
25:58I got an errand I want him to run.
26:00Yes, sir.
26:10I want you to pick up an envelope for me.
26:13You meet these guys at Mom's off of exit five of the turnpike.
26:16A couple of guys in the back booth, you'll recognize them as two sides of beef in cheap suits.
26:34You should charge a premium for this.
26:36Yeah, I'd just like to forget about it.
26:37We should forget about doing this kind of thing.
26:39We're going to end up toast here.
26:41If I own this place, I'd charge you for that ketchup.
26:43You need some ketchup.
26:45That's disgusting.
26:51You guys got something for me or what?
26:53Oh.
26:55I'm going to be sick.
26:58You're not getting sick.
26:59Oh, yeah.
26:59Yeah, I am, Jack.
27:00Shut up.
27:01Hey, what's the problem here?
27:02You tell me.
27:04Maybe I got the wrong table.
27:05Maybe you got a lot of things wrong, pal.
27:06Man, we are toast.
27:08We are toast.
27:09We are toast.
27:09Hey, hey, what are you doing?
27:10What's going on here?
27:11One jacket for breakfast is all I can handle.
27:13Now beat it.
27:14Hey, look, I don't know who the hell you are, pal.
27:16But somebody sent me here to pick something up.
27:18Now you don't not want to give it to me.
27:19I know why you're here.
27:20And for you, I got bupkis.
27:22What the hell's the matter with you?
27:22What the hell's the matter with me?
27:24What the hell's the matter with me?
27:30I'm perfect.
27:40I don't know who that guy was, the hood, the G.
27:43Who knows?
27:44Maybe we're being set up by Sonny.
27:46Come on.
27:47Don't say that.
27:48I mean, I told you, I do not want to know where the money comes from.
27:51And we're supposed to be doing a little extracurricular discipline, and that is all.
27:57I don't plan on spending hard time as an assassin for some outfit honcho.
28:02Money's made you a coward, Hanhart.
28:04Oh, great.
28:05Are you hearing anything that I'm saying?
28:07Hey, hey, hey, you gotta pay the price for the pleasure.
28:10You wanna enjoy that place by the lake?
28:12Well, every once in a while you get called upon to bury a body in the forest.
28:15Oh, yeah?
28:16You can forget it.
28:18Hey, I got the evidence.
28:20All the money from him to me to guys like you.
28:23Only the other guys aren't wearing pantyhose.
28:25Now, look.
28:26Who or whatever this Patsy is, his picture with McPike is worth a lot of bucks for me and you.
28:33We gotta keep it moving.
28:35And you can't go south on me, Tommy, cause you're afraid.
28:39Fear will cost us a job.
28:41Maybe more.
28:43Now, come on.
28:46Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:50I can deal with it.
29:10Sonny, everybody's available for tomorrow night.
29:13Joey, I, uh...
29:15Sonny, please.
29:16You gonna argue with me?
29:18No.
29:19If it means that much to you, tomorrow night's fine.
29:21Sonny.
29:22Yeah.
29:23Come here.
29:27That's all the huff and puff.
29:29Sonny, those guys are nuts.
29:30They didn't give me anything.
29:32Who are these guys anyway?
29:34I don't like going on errands if I gotta be dealing with wackos.
29:36They gave you nothing?
29:37Nothing.
29:39These are stupid people.
29:40It's dangerous to do business with stupid people.
29:43Don't worry about it.
29:43I'll take care of it.
29:44I'll be back tonight, all right?
29:45All right.
29:45Hey, Cap, let's go.
29:57Anybody home?
29:59Hello?
30:01Hello?
30:02Oh, come on, hello.
30:04You came alone?
30:06Yeah, I came alone.
30:08You think I'm gonna bring a party?
30:10Well, if you're not gonna shoot me, sport, you better put the gun down.
30:17Spit it out.
30:20Well, maybe I don't know what to spit out.
30:22No, you don't know what I know and what I don't know.
30:27Which makes it real hard to decide just how clean you want to get.
30:30I'll tell you what I do know.
30:33I know you and your partner beat the hell out of Joey Romanowski.
30:36You did it for Steelgrave.
30:37You're on his path.
30:38Do you want me to keep talking until you don't have anything left to cop to?
30:43Now, here the short hairs, detective.
30:45You tell me something I need to know right now or you're gonna do federal time.
30:50All right.
30:52We followed you when you left, okay?
30:54And, uh, we got surveillance photos of you and a guy who claims to work with Steelgrave.
30:59Phillips has the negative. He deals direct with Steelgrave.
31:05Did he tell him?
31:07No, no. He plans on selling it to him. He thinks the photo's worth a fortune.
31:13The guy's a plant, right?
31:17You cheap, nickel-and-dime, corrupt bastard.
31:21You're gonna wear a wire.
31:23I can't.
31:24I've seen the guy work.
31:27I've seen him pick up on wires hidden in places you wouldn't even look.
31:31Even I don't know how he does it.
31:35I won't wear a wire.
31:38When's the deal going down?
31:40Soon. I think Phillips isn't gonna want to wait.
31:44All right.
31:45You can get in touch with me as soon as you know.
31:47I don't care if you have to send up smoke signals, but right now, you are gonna stand there and
31:53you're not gonna move.
31:54Right?
31:56Right!
31:56Right!
32:12Yeah, lifeguard.
32:13Pull Terranova in now.
32:25Come on, come on, come on!
32:29Mr. Romanowski?
32:33I'm Frank McPike.
32:36OCB.
32:37I'm a big fan of yours.
32:39How you feeling?
32:41Listen to me.
32:43Is that permanent?
32:44No, just till I die.
32:46I'm sorry.
32:48Yeah.
32:48You were beaten by two men.
32:50Do you think you can identify either one of them?
32:53One.
32:53I see him in my sleep.
32:55Will you testify?
32:56I wanna kill him.
32:58Now, you realize in testifying against these men, you'll be testifying against Sonny Steelgrave.
33:04He took away my career.
33:05Why shouldn't I take away his?
33:10Is this the man?
33:12Yeah.
33:14How'd you find him?
33:15Why don't you worry, Joey.
33:17These guys are gonna get their justice.
33:19I'll be in touch.
33:21How'd you find out?
33:22I'm gonna destroy your throat.
33:24I wanna know.
33:25I'll go to the police.
33:27They'll tell me.
33:28Joey, you just rest.
33:31You concentrate on Helion.
33:34I really am a fan of yours.
33:36You take it easy.
34:01Who is that?
34:03Stop that guy.
34:04Get that camera.
34:06Hey, you.
34:07Yeah, you.
34:08Stop that.
34:11No.
34:14This guy's a stinking cop.
34:16You want my picture?
34:18Do it right.
34:20$2,200.
34:23Louisiana alligator.
34:25$1,500.
34:30See this one.
34:42Send me a contact sheet.
34:44Maybe I'll like something.
34:46Huh?
34:46And if there's any change, buy yourself a better suit.
34:50You'll look like death.
34:52You going wacko on me?
34:54Hey, I've always delivered, huh?
34:55Lately, you've been delivering a mess.
34:57Maybe what you got, I don't want.
34:59I got photos of a bureau field director and somebody very close to you.
35:05Who?
35:05Who?
35:06Who is gonna cost you who?
35:09But I'm a good guy, sonny.
35:11I'll let you set the price, okay?
35:13I'll see ya.
35:29Hey, good day.
35:30Did you get the phone for you?
35:31Yeah, yeah.
35:33Fine, huh?
35:48Sailor Hardware, Mike Terranova.
35:50Agent 4587, Dick.
35:51Can the procedure, Vinnie.
35:53I've been trying to phone you every 20 minutes.
35:54McPike wants to pull you out.
35:56What's wrong?
35:56Two detectives got pictures of you and McPike together.
35:59Now, Frank made a deal with the one guy, but this other guy, his name's Phillips.
36:03This guy has an accident waiting to happen, and he's got copies of the photos of you and Frank.
36:08I can't pull out.
36:09Now I'm too close to putting the rope around Sonny and Mahoney.
36:11Frank figured you'd say that.
36:13He's gonna be Sonny's shadow until Phillips makes his move.
36:16Now, this guy has got to be intercepted before he gets to Sonny with those pictures.
36:21Look, I'm gonna be with Sonny all night.
36:23There's some ceremony with La Familia, but I don't know who's on the guest list,
36:26but I'll report, alright?
36:27Yeah, well, I'll be here, Vinnie.
36:29I'll be here.
36:36This is McPike.
36:37I'm moving west on Neptune Boulevard near the park.
36:40I got Steelgrave in his canoe along with Terranova and an old codger from the Bronx named Joey Baglia.
36:59I'm outside a very swanky rat trap at the corner of Lawrence and Birch.
37:03The hoi polloi is gathering.
37:06I think we can rule out a bar mitzvah.
37:13What are we doing in this neighborhood?
37:16Patrice and Mahoney are in town.
37:18If there's a major powwow, it'll be at Don Capuzzi's.
37:20Sonny will be there, too.
37:22Gimme.
37:27Hey, what are you doing?
37:30Checking out our retirement program.
37:32Beats the hell out of an IRA.
37:33Hey, well, come on.
37:34Steelgrave's gonna be in there in a second.
37:37The hell are these?
37:38These aren't the pictures we took.
37:39What the hell is this?
37:40Okay, Jack, now listen.
37:42I knew the money made you a coward.
37:44I didn't think I made you stupid.
37:46Now you listen up here, man!
37:48Stop it!
37:48Stop it, Jack!
37:54Stop it!
37:56Stop it!
37:58Stop it!
38:00Stop it!
38:09Stop it!
38:11Stop it!
38:13Stop it!
38:27Don.
38:29Don Chiro Capuzzi.
38:32This is Vincenzo Terranova.
38:40Atroverso versare de sangue.
38:43Speak English.
38:47Atroverso versare de sangue.
38:50What? Speak English.
38:53It is through the shedding of blood that our sacred brothership continues to exist over the centuries.
39:02And tonight we repeat again.
39:04The ancient ritual.
39:06This represents that you live by the gun and the knife.
39:13And you die by the gun and the knife.
39:19After tonight and for the rest of your life, you will use these weapons as ordered by your capo, the
39:26familia,
39:27to defend our sacred brotherhood from all who would dare to harm us.
39:57Make a cup of your hands.
40:00Where I come from, we bleed them.
40:02The flame.
40:03I've done this ceremony 100 times.
40:08Then you've done it wrong 100 times.
40:10Then you've done it wrong right.
40:12Wrong.
40:13But you bleed them.
40:15What's the difference whether you bleed them or you burn them?
40:18Let's get it over with.
40:19I miss you guys.
40:20Come on.
40:21Let's just do it.
40:23Select you.
40:25The flame.
40:35Say these words.
40:39This is the way I will burn.
40:42This is the way I will burn.
40:44If I betray the secrets of our sacred brotherhood.
40:48If I betray the secrets of our sacred brotherhood.
40:52Mama, may I?
41:04This is the way I will burn.
41:06It's the way I will burn.
41:39Bingo!
41:40Vincenzo, this is your gumbar, your godfather.
41:44I'm Sonny's gumbar too. Now I gotta look at the boat of your head.
41:49Give me a smack right here.
41:55Now, give me the finger you shoot with.
42:03This is a lot of means.
42:05We are our family!
42:07Our Familiar!
42:08Our Familiar!
42:13All right, everybody. Okay, listen.
42:15I'm gonna throw a badge for our brand new made man over here.
42:18So everybody getting their cards maybe over at the magazine.
42:20Great.
42:25All right, gentlemen. Look alive.
42:48Hey, Carl Ferrillo.
42:51What?
42:52You asked me to play the right field for the 52 Dodgers.
42:56Carl Ferrillo!
42:57Yeah, that's it.
42:58He's just a little shy.
43:01All right, move in now.
43:08Sonny, I got something for you, but you'll get nothing to die in my mind.
43:11You're lucky to get anything.
43:11You're lucky to get anything.
43:14Wait!
43:15Wait!
43:15Hey, wait! Federal officers!
43:17Nobody move!
43:18Joey, drop the gun!
43:20Now!
43:21Sonny, listen to what you did to me!
43:24Joey, don't!
43:25Oh!
43:30Hey!
43:31That belongs to me.
43:32Ow!
43:33Don't you push me.
43:35You don't know how close I came to letting him kill you.
43:42Excuse me.
43:43I'm Marvin Ketchel.
43:45Mr. Steelgrave is my client.
43:47You know you have your hand on me.
43:51Unless you want me to press charges for the theft of Mr. Steelgrave's property,
43:54I suggest you return it immediately.
43:58Ketchel, when your parents sent you to law school,
44:01they know you're going to make a career out of defending human slime.
44:04I'm fine.
44:04I'm fine.
44:05I'm fine.
44:05I'm fine.
44:31I'm fine.
44:56I thought the entertainment was going to take place at the restaurant.
44:59Let me ask you a question, Patty.
45:02Since when do you, uh, take nighttime meets with Frank McPike at the OCB?
45:08It's a doctor picture, son.
45:12How can you tell?
45:13No.
45:14It's not my good side.
45:15Hm.
45:16No.
45:32How could you tell him?
45:33No.
45:33No, oh.
45:34No.
45:41No, why do you tell him that you're missing out on the table?
45:47Billy, that was dynamite.
45:52Take a break, guys.
45:53I want to talk to you about a little business.
45:55You got a manager yet?
45:56No, Mr. Steelgrave.
45:57You got a lawyer?
45:59That's okay.
45:59It's no big deal.
46:00I just want to make sure you don't get stuck with the wrong people.
46:03You know, you step into a sewer, you get covered with stinks.
46:05Sit down.
46:05Make yourself comfortable.
46:06There you go.
46:09Okay.
46:11Now, I think that you could become a professional.
46:13All you got to do is have it upstairs in your head.
46:15I'm a professional.
46:17Are you a professional, Billy?
46:18I am a professional, Mr. Steelgrave.
46:20That's all I think about.
46:21Okay.
46:22Here's the deal.
46:23I'm going to offer you a five-year contract to play the lounge.
46:25I'm going to start you off at three grand a week with a raise every year.
46:28What do you think?
46:30That's fantastic.
46:33Do you mind if I ask you a question?
46:36You're supposed to ask me questions.
46:37You're a smart kid.
46:38Well, what if me and the boys get a chance to record?
46:41Will you let us?
46:42Are you kidding me, huh?
46:43Did Joey Romanowski record his big hit when he was with me?
46:46Of course you can record.
46:47I'm here to help you, kid.
46:49All right.
46:49Thanks a lot.
46:51Hey, Billy.
47:00Now, remember, a deal's a deal.
47:05And we drove to the gig, and I want a separate card.
47:09We might get lucky, but never know.
47:12That's the way life is.
47:14It's rock and roll.
47:16It's rock and roll.
47:18It's rock and roll.
47:24It's rock and roll.
47:24It's rock and roll.
47:27It's rock and roll.
47:33It's rock and roll.
47:37It's rock and roll.
47:39It's rock and roll.
47:39It's rock and roll.
47:40It's rock and roll.
47:40It's rock and roll.
47:40It's rock and roll.
47:41It's rock and roll.
47:41It's rock and roll.
47:42It's rock and roll.
47:43It's rock and roll.
47:45It's rock and roll.
