Bethany, come on.
Come here.
Do you really think I can make it on my own?
I think you could do anything
you put your mind to, anything.
I just can't imagine doing it without you.
I was just there when you needed me.
Like the Church was there for me.
Now you don't need me anymore.
You know, the night I saw the devil...
my girlfriend O.D.'d in the bed next to me.
I didn't take her to the hospital. I didn't do anything.
I was so stoned I didn't care.
I shot us both up.
And the Church was there when I needed it.
She saved my life.
Now...
when I look at your face...
I find myself wondering...
Wondering if it would be a sin if you held me?
Something like that.
Are you trying to tell me that you have doubts about God?
Yes.
I have doubts.
Do you have doubts about me?
No.
I listen, but there is no sound from you.
I only hear the voice of this woman.
A human being, hungry for warmth, comfort, for love.
As all of us are hungry.
My flesh, my heart, fail me.
I look for you and see her face.
I reach for you, and find her hand.
Sweet Jesus, give me faith.
Amen.
Ah, Mr. And Mrs. Norring, so nice to see you again.
They were here last night; I guess they must really like the food.
This guy works so hard.
He is always here, or at the restaurant on Long Island,
or working on his cooking show. He's never at home.
That's the secret to my marriage.
Spread the vegetables out a little bit on this plate, okay?
Take up a little bit more of that space.
Vinnie, what do you think?
Beautiful, needs just a touch more pepper, otherwise it's great.
Laura, we still got ten lobsters left in the back?
- Yeah. - All right, get on these guys' ass.
Push them. I don't want those things surviving the weekend.
Raf, what's up? Hey, you washed your hands?
- Sure, boss. - For sure, for sure, for sure.
- For sure, for sure.
You're a great addition. Great to have you on the team.
We're backing up on the plates here. Let's get 'em out of here.
Chef, do want to check these out?
These things are supposed to be miniature, like candies.
Are you new? I haven't seen you here before.
Hey, what happened? Get some help.
Vincent Clericuzio, owner of the famous gourmet restaurant chain,
was shot and killed earlier this evening.
The family is coming out right now. We'll try and get a comment.
Mr. Clericuzio, any comment on the death of your brother?
Look, this is not a good time.
Bobby, would you take them to the car?
How about you, sir? Do you have a comment on the tragedy tonight?
On behalf of the Clericuzio family,
Vinnie Clericuzio was a very talented man,
a loving father, a devoted husband and brother. This is a tragedy.
I understand a driver for the Clericuzio family was shot yesterday.
Is this some sort of vendetta or maybe some random act?
Random act?
No, I don't think so.
We'll find out who is responsible for this.
Will the family seek some kind of revenge? Is this a threat?
You know what? You take it any way you like, okay?
(Father Luca speaking in Italian)
Vinnie had friends from all over the world, pity they couldn't be here.
Can't take a chance having all those people here.
Why him? I mean, he was never involved in the rough stuff.
Well, look around.
We're getting to the end. Widows, widowers...
An all out mafia war is not what we need right now.
Like we don't have enough trouble with the Feds.
No... If you want to use the mike, you have to ask for it.
Please...
Good girl. Now you can use the mike.
Dog...
Eve, would you look after Bethany? I'll be back in a minute.
Of course.
Looking for somebody?
Lia Vazzi ain't here.
This is his room? I was just, em...
Just what?
I'm embarrassed.
I'm looking for a room to set up school for Bethany.
Hey, no problem. I'll help you.
Ok, thanks.
You don't fool me.
Let me go.
I've been suspicious of you from the start.
I'm going to report you to Mr. De Lena.
Yeah?
Well I've got a little reporting to do myself.
How would you like that?
Maybe we both better hold our tongues.
Get off me.
You little bitch.
I tell Vazzi you were snooping around in his room...
they won't fire you, they'll kill you.
Dirk's here.
I'm sorry to be so late.
I've been filming on location, little town in southern California.
The nearest airstrip was 5O miles.
May I say, my sincere condolences.
We appreciate your coming, Dirk.
Of course I came.
The most important thing to me is my new family.
My lovely wife here.
Family is very important to me. Ya?
I'm a married man.
Your family is my family, right?
- So did you find it? - What?
The bundle. The bundle.
No, no. I looked in Lia Vazzi's room yesterday. Nothing.
Have you checked to see if there's a storeroom or an attic?
I've looked in the attic, I've looked in closets, I've looked everywhere.
You know, what I saw was probably his coat under his arm.
Did anybody see you go into Vazzi's room?
I'm not an amateur.
I'm in a hair salon buying shampoo and the driver's getting impatient.
I've got to go.
Thanks.
Know what this gun can do? Blast your brains right through the windshield.
Give me any problems, I blast your head off.
I'm not going to give you any problems, just don't kill...
Stop it.
Idiot, I didn't want to kill you.
Ray Geller. I represent Mr. Lamponi.
Mark Hurst. This is Bruce McKiff.
Sit down.
So let me see if I've got this straight...
My client would just like to make sure that he is protected.
Of course he's hoping for some guarantee of leniency.
Nothing can be arranged until we can make sure his information is worth it.
And we have to make a deal with the D.A.
Frankie Lips? Is that what they call you on the street?
Yeah. Can I get a soda or something?
Profitable business you got going, Frankie.
You hold up a rig.
It's got, what, $5OO, OOO worth of seafood?
You take it to the street, you sell it cheap,
to support your habit.
Only this time the ice went a little too far.
I didn't mean to. There was this...
The driver cranked the wheel, the rig went off the road.
The gun discharged.
Let's have it. What do you got?
Go ahead.
I seen Croccifixo De Lena...
murder Dante Clericuzio, Rose Marie's son.
Cross shot him in his fancy villa in Las Vegas.
Then they burned the place down to hide the blood stains.
We dumped the body in the Pacific Ocean in an iron cage.
Food for the fishes.
You heard my client correctly.
Would your client testify to that before a Grand Jury?
If you grant him immunity.
You protect my ass...
and I'll put a noose around Cross De Lena's neck.
They've got Frankie Lips up at county awaiting trail.
He's going to try and cut a deal with the D.A.
Everybody's doing it these days.
They're writing books, making movies. Squealing is big business.
And he's got information. He was in Vegas.
I've got no doubt that Frankie Lips is going to sing to the Grand Jury.
We should have killed him when we had the chance.
That's right. So we kill him now.
We've got a couple of guards up there on the payroll.
We'll give you a new identity. One with a prison record.
Are you going to need any help getting in?
Don't worry about me getting in.
You just get me back out, eh?
You'll have to sleep on the floor.
We're out of beds.
Allow me. Victor Bazzini.
The top bunk is for you. That's the best bed.
I've arranged everything. We knew you were coming.
(speaking Italian)
I got anything you want. Salt, sugar, cigarettes, blow.
I'm your man. I'm here to make things comfortable for you.
You get off of there. You're sleeping on the floor. I told you already.
Okay, okay.
I give cheerfully.
Like the Lord asks us to.
I'm not afraid of rats running across my face at night.
The Lord looks after me.
Don't be stupid. You bother this man...
he'll kill you.
(singing)
(in Italian)
What?
I say you're not worth spit.
What are you doing here?
I cut a bastardo's tongue out.
If you try anything, I'm going to call the guards.
If I try anything, you be dead.
Tell me the story about going to Bali again.
A difficult place for a zealous young priest to find lost souls.
There are so many other temptations...
Hindu fused with Buddhism... spirits, magic.
And in the mornings...
A rooster used to start crowing before it even got light.
I want you to take me there with you.
Rose Marie...
I'd have to leave the Church...
I'd have to walk away from my whole life.
You're the one who said life was magic and that it went by so quickly.
And we had to grab hold of every moment we could.
That's what I'm doing...
I'm grabbing hold of you.
Don't ever let go.
Please promise me you won't ever let go.
Do you promise?
I love you, Rose Marie.
God's lost.
Let's leave tomorrow.
Do you promise?
Yes. We'll never come back.
Bishop Enzo?
Giorgio Clericuzio.
I'm sorry to wake you, but we need to talk.
This is most disturbing.
I'll have to take it to the Church board.
Of course we'll want to keep it completely quiet
until it is resolved.
I'm leaving the Church, Your Grace.
Don't make rash decisions.
Remember, there's no sin so great
that it cannot be absolved. Let's pray.
It won't do any good. My mind is made up.
You've made a grievous error.
You've broken your holy vows.
I want to marry the woman I love.
That's not so grievous.
Do you think you can turn your back on God?
I'm sorry. That's all I have to say.
You think you can deny God's presence the way you denied
the presence of that dying girl years ago?
Please, father, don't do this.
God won't abandon you.
The death of that girl led you to Him.
You can't turn your back on him now.
You're not alone.
We all get lost at times.
You will find your path, my son.
I keep asking for absolution.
I can't go on.
Lies... subterfuge.
Dear Father...
please help me find my way.
If you can even hear me.
Are you nervous, Frankie?
Or are you going through withdrawals?
Frankie, the D.A. Is a little worried you're not a credible witness.
What are you talking about?
I'm clean.
I'm in a drug rehabilitation program.
Whether you guys want to cut me a deal or not,
I need some security.
Some protection.
Come on, I keep begging for it.
There are guys in here who are afraid I'm going to rat.
It ain't safe.
And I don't really feel like having my nuts skinned.
There are some elements here that have my client fearing for his life.
Someone threatened you?
You're good. No, no, no.
I'm not going to say another word until you guys get me a security cell.
All right? That's it. No more.
Nothing. Nada. I'm done.
Do you have any idea what they do to people here?
They cut out their tongues.
Chop, chop.
Are you going to tell me where you plan to go?
No. Why?
So I can get in touch with you.
That won't be necessary.
Is he going with you?
Yes, "he's" going with me.
He's leaving the Church. We're getting married.
You're getting married? So when does the blessed event take place?
I'm going to the church now.
You're getting married today?
No. I'm going to go pick him up, take him to the airport...
where we are flying as far away from this house as we can get.
I know you have many reasons to hate me, but I'm still your brother.
It's a dangerous time for the family. I don't want you to get hurt.
Oh, now I've heard everything.
You think this Father Luca is going to leave the priesthood for you?
It's not going to happen.
Are you worried?
Because you know you could just whack the bridegroom, right Giorgio?
Like the last time when you were afraid I'd get hurt.
- I'm just trying to reason with you. - Get out.
Rose... Rose Marie...
The priest is going with you? He's leaving the Church?
That's right. We're getting married.
- Not that it's my business... - Right, it's none of your business.
But don't worry, I won't cause you any problems.
Rose, I want you to know you're welcome to come back here any time.
I'm welcome to come back here any time?
No matter what happens, I will never set foot in this house again.
Some things are better left unsaid.
I confess to almighty God...
and to you, my brothers and sisters...
that I have sinned through my own fault...
in my thoughts and in my words...
in what I have done and what I have failed to do.
And I ask Blessed Mary, ever virgin...
holy angels and saints...
Luca?
...and you, my brothers and sisters...
Don't let them do this to us.
You said you would go away with me.
You promised me. We were supposed to go away.
You promised me.
Let go of me.
Please. You promised me that you would go away with me.
May almighty God have mercy on us...
I hate God. I hate you, God...
forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen.
Rose Marie, you have to understand
that Father Luca has been called by God.
He has a divine mission to fulfill.
But I don't want you to feel abandoned.
I'll make sure a priest visits you daily.
Father Timothy. I think you would like Father Timothy.
- I want to see Luca. - It can't be.
He's leaving this afternoon. He has a lot to take care of.
I want to see him.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
May I have a few moments alone, please?
It's better you don't.
I think if I could just speak with her, it would be all right.
The driver is waiting for us outside.
He's going to take us to the airport.
It doesn't really matter where we go. The next plane. Anything.
Listen to me.
I've been called to Belfast.
There's so many people there I can help.
Innocent children...
But you can still help them.
You don't have to be part of the Church.
And I can help, too. I have money.
I have to go alone.
I love you.
But I'm a priest.
And I know now what I must do with my life.
Did you see God?
I didn't have to see Him. He's always been here.
No matter how much I tried to shut him out.
I can't run from it, Rose Marie. It's my duty, it's my life's work.
I'm so sorry.
I have to do this.
Then I'll wait for you.
No. You have to go on with your plan.
You must never go back to that house.
Promise me that.
If you need me, the bishop will know where to get in touch.
If I need you?
Of course I need you.
I love you. I want you. I love you.
I'll never stop loving you.
I need to remember what you feel like...
...your face, your skin...
...your lips, your beautiful skin.
Remember that I love you.
Always remember that.
Goodbye.
Take me home.
I want to go home.
You must have some story to sing.
Your own private cell with your own special crapper.
Very funny. Give it a break.
Just hate to see your sorry face get messed up.
They're going to skin you alive, man.
You so pretty.
Open sol con 2.
Close.
Jerk.
You're not supposed to be here. This is a private cell.
Excuse me, speaken ze english?
This is a mistake. Guard?
Now we finish what we start, eh?
Open this door.
God, help me.
Now you going to sing, eh?
Wait, I can tell you plenty.
Don't kill me. I promise I won't squeal on Cross.
Tell me what you know.
I know who did it.
I know who ordered the hits.
I know who is out to get the Clericuzio.
All this red tape.
Doesn't matter. The D.A. Has agreed to drop the charges.
We'll take his statement...
we'll arrange a Grand Jury proceeding...
then get him into Witness Protection.
Unless he's changed his mind. I've seen it happen.
Open sol con 2.
- I told you... - Help me get him down.
...you can't trust these guys, dead or alive.
Good work.
A hot bath and a shot of whiskey, you'll feel good as new.
Frankie Lips. He could never keep them closed, remember?
What? Did he tell you something?
I know who ordered the hits.
On your wife, my family, Petie, Vinnie... all of them.
Who? Who is it?
First I'm going to cut off his fingers...
then his hands, his arms, his legs, his nuts...
- I'm going to make him die slow. - Lia, who?
Your friend.
The one so close to you, Billy D'Angelo.
No, that can't be.
If I can't trust Billy...
He has plans to take over the Xanadu in Vegas...
with Loddstone Studios. Your sister, she's not safe.
No. No way. I don't buy it. Not Billy.
He's my right hand. He's a "capo".
His father was a "capo".
No one is what they seem.
Cross.
Why are you running? Are you paranoid or what?
I just didn't know who it was.
Have I aged so much?
No, Pop. You look good.
- You look the same. - You should have known.
Billy D'Angelo?
That pimp's got so much olive oil in his hair he smells like a salad.
He's a friend, Pop. He's like a brother to me.
Human beings are flawed, son.
We age. We forget.
Our sight fails.
A fly can see better then we do.
Don't you see nothing?
- You've got to trust somebody. - No.
You don't. That's what I'm telling you.
You can't trust nobody.
Not Billy, not the family, not your father.
That's right, son...
not even me.
You can't trust nobody.
You can't.
You can't trust nobody.
Cross?
You okay?
Bad dream, huh?
No...
I've just got to get up.
It's probably better to go back to my room, anyway.
Better for who?
Everybody.
I can't be Athena, you know.
I could never mean that to you.
I'm not asking you to.
It's hard so know what you are thinking...
how you feel.
How I feel about you?
I'm thankful for everything you've done for Bethany.
I'm thankful to find you waiting for me here.
Is that all?
I have nothing else to offer.
No kind of life. There's not much hope for a future.
This family, and everyone connected to it...
we could all be killed tomorrow.
You deserve better, Josie.
Everything's closing in on us. I can't breathe.
Keep moving. Don't stop for nothing.
I can hear them rasping.
Just keep moving.
I saw an eye, it was as big as a refrigerator.
They're after us... huge cockroaches.
Then if you're afraid, the Fumigator will carry you.
Could we cut? Could we please cut?
Miss Lumpchec,
I'm the director.
I'm the one who yells "cut".
Cut!
I hate this dialogue.
Just because I'm a woman, it doesn't mean I'm frightened.
He doesn't have to carry me. I could walk.
You know something? She's right.
So we do that.
Oops.
You hate women. That's what it is.
You just loathe and despise beautiful women.
That was totally uncalled for.
That was totally unprofessional.
You pompous, male, nazi, jerk.
You girls, you promise me one thing.
Do whatever you want, ya,
just don't be an actress.
It could be Hotel Caca.
The carpet... is like roadkill.
And this bed, it's so empty without you.
I want you to come here.
You know I can't get away right now.
- I'm too busy. - Try, baby.
So much bugs. Disgusting.
Swamps, mosquitoes.
I've got bites.
Fourteen, fifteen hours a day.
There's got to be an easier way to make bucks.
This actress bitch.
She's driving me crazy.
- I think I'm going to kill her. - She's good, though.
The screen sizzles with the two of you.
Sexual tension. It sells.
I hate her guts.
Okay. I'll try and come this weekend.
Don't try. You be here.
I can't finish this picture without you.
Okay, okay, okay.
I'll come on Friday, then. I promise.
Now. You get some sleep.
You don't kiss nobody.
I don't want to kiss nobody.
I just want to kiss you, baby.
I love you. Good night.
You girls are too much.
I'm not going to get my beauty sleep.
You ready?
Here I come.
The Fumigator. I kill bedbugs.
(telephone rings)
Yeah.
Your driver's here, Mr. Von Shalberg.
Have a nice day.
Oh, my god.
Help me.
Oh, my god.
Help me.
Help me!
What can your brother do, Ms. De Lena? Doesn't he have mafia ties?
Isn't there a suicide watch in his cell?
Completely untrue.
Loddstone stock has taken a tumble. Are you to blame?
- Be nice. - Do you still love your husband, lady?
You married the sleaze, then made him star of the biggest movie ever made.
Are you going to tell us what happened?
What happened?
Nothing happened.
Look, I pass out, then I wake up.
He was set up, Cross.
And the girls?
Look, nothing.
Fans, all right?
I gave them an autograph.
I think you gave them more than your autograph, Dirk.
I don't like you. Never did.
I'm here because of my sister.
Now I'm telling you,
if you don't tell us the truth, there's nothing we can do.
I was drunk... all right?
The girls...
Come on, Dirk.
You had sex with them.
I didn't mean to.
We were playing around, all right? Wrestling.
One thing leads to other thing.
Ya, ya.
I'm bad guy maybe.
How about stupid, maybe?
Ya, stupid, too. Little dumkoff.
But I didn't kill no little girls.
I can swear to you about that.
Claudia, I'm very sorry.
I love you, and I will make it up to you.
But you've got to get me out of this place.
It's a cell...
and in the middle...
is a toilet.
And the bed...
the blankets, they scratch...
itch.
Well, you're just going to have to live with it for a while, Dirk.
We're both going to have to live with it for a while.
Bobby Bantz is behind this.
It just reeks of Bobby Bantz.
Bobby Bantz doesn't know how to order a hit.
He doesn't have the personnel.
But he's trying to get the studio back.
This is all he needs.
We can't finish the picture. The shareholders are up in arms.
This is on every TV, it's in every newspaper, every radio.
We are crashing. We're losing $1OO million
plus all the profits down the line.
They're calling for my resignation.
The same people who want to destroy the Clericuzio
want to takeover Loddstone.
You want to know what I think? Somewhere down the line...
Bobby Bantz hooked up with Billy D'Angelo.
Billy?
- You're not serious. - I am serious.
- I think he's behind it all. - Billy D'Angelo?
What do we do? How do we stop it?
It's better you don't know.
Is that how you deal with everything? You just knock people off?
If that's what it takes. It works.
It's not going to get Dirk out of jail.
You still care about this guy, Claudia?
You know what? He didn't kill those girls.
I don't want to see him punished for it.
I don't like betrayal.
I don't forgive it.
Well, I have a softer heart than you do.
Claudia...
...there could be a contract out on you right now.
Oh, god.
Cocktail?
Thank you.
Do you mind if I check out your CD's?
No, go ahead. Live it up.
It was beautiful. The whole thing was beautiful.
Dirk Von Shalberg is going to fry for murder.
The shareholders are going to fry Claudia.
And I'm going to fry Cross.
The Clericuzio have been spoonfeeding him since the day he was born.
They screwed me big time. They took away my studio.
They took away my dignity. I couldn't even serve lunch.
Might as well just cut my throat.
Well, I ain't dead yet.
You're gonna have to show me the ropes
I don't know the first thing about making movies.
You don't have to because I know about making movies.
I was a studio head and I'm still a studio head.
It's in the blood.
Oh, I love this. This is my favorite.
This one's you. How much did it cost you?
I had to kill for that one.
Well, you're the professional.
Seriously...
you done good.
I owe you.
That you do.
You know, when I finished taking out the Clericuzio
I'm going to be the majority stockholder in Loddstone.
Payback time.
You're not going to take an active role in the studio, are you?
Of course I am.
Hey, who knows...
maybe you can hook me up with a young starlet.
Yeah, yeah. No problem. No problem.
Let me ask you something about your girlfriend, is she...?
Oh, don't worry about her. I trust her with my life.
She's mormon. Straight out of Utah.
Not much upstairs, but how about that downstairs?
Well, I've never seen any mormon chick dance like that.
Whoo, look at the time.
Gotta go, Lara. Gotta go.
Gotta get the show on the road.
Send the bloody bastards home!
The IRA!
(gunshots fired)
Go back to your house.
Somebody get me some help.
Somebody help me.
It would be good if you could find your way back to the church.
It's time to reach out to God.
He'll help you through this.
It's a sorrowful day.
I know father Luca was a comfort to you.
Such a good man...
gentle, kind, caring.
But God had a mission for him...
and he fulfilled it.
He left a letter for me to give to you
in the event of his death.
God be with you, my child.
- You shouldn't have waited up. - I couldn't sleep.
- Want a nightcap? - I'll make some coffee.
I'm gonna need whisky in mine.
- How's Rose Marie? - Zombie time.
You know, she probably thinks we had Luca killed.
Giorgio, you've got a lot on your plate.
Everybody keeps telling you what you need is a wife.
Yeah, exactly what I need. More problems.
So what do you want to do about Billy?
You know, he wants to see us.
He's invited us to his place for dinner.
If we go, we'd better take a taster with us.
Before we do anything, we find out who's in on it with him.
Who killed those girls in Dirk's hotel room.
I'll pay a little visit to our cousin Lenny Fortunato.
He drives Billy's car sometimes.
You ever worry about bugs?
With the Rico laws you just say "Cosa Nostra"...
and you end up in maximum security.
Aw, this house is safe. It's always been safe.
We'll get the heads.
We'll get the heads of the other families in on this.
Find out who's involved, and we hit 'em.
Billy's birthday is March 28th.
We throw a surprise birthday party for him.
Have Claudia call a shareholders meeting
on the West coast that same night.
One quick night, everything's over.
So where do you want to do Billy?
Right here. Right here in the house.
No. My father would never permit that.
No one's ever been murdered here.
This house was always sacred to him.
That's why Billy won't suspect anything.
It's time to break some precedents, Giorgio.
Then what?
And then we bury him, in the family crypt.
Nobody will look for him there.
Giorgio: My father's going to roll over in his grave.
What did you hear?
- Hear? - What did you hear?
You have a big imagination.
You don't say a word, I don't say a word, okay?
Shut up.
You want them to come out?
Come on, baby, relax.
You can't compete with Athena.
You better settle for me, I promise you.
I'll give it to you better than you've ever had it.
Josie, get up stairs.
What the hell's the matter with you?
She was listening to you. I caught her by the kitchen door.
He says you went into Lia Vazzi's room.
Is that true?
Yeah. It's true.
I read all this stuff about Pauly Borgetto's murder.
About nuns being seen leaving the building.
I saw Lia Vazzi getting out of a car with a black bundle.
I wanted to find out what it was.
I know it's wrong.
But I went to his room and found a nun's habit.
Go on.
You met him that morning. You must have known about it.
I didn't want to believe...
What? Say it.
You're a murderer.
You know who I am and what I do.
You didn't come here with your eyes shut.
This is my life.
- You can get out of it. - Athena said that too.
I want to believe you can stop. I want to believe there's a way out.
There's no way out. It's too late.
It was too late from the day I was born.
Nothing good can come out of this.
I didn't touch her. I didn't put a finger on her.
That bitch. She's pulling one on Cross.
Joey, she's pulling one on Cross.
Please, don't do this boys.
I beg you.
Please, don't. Oh, god, help me.
(continues to scream)
Giorgio?
My god, Giorgio.
Where have you been all my life?
Same place as always, Della. How about you?
Still selling pantyhose at Bloomies.
What brings you to the neighborhood?
I just came by to see you mom and your brother Lenny.
Me too.
I'm warning you... it ain't much fun.
This is my brother Jerry, he's the one who moved to Brasil.
He doesn't like New York, it's too dirty for him.
Oh, oh, here's your mother.
What a head of hair she had.
See your father? That was love at first sight.
That wedding, it lasted three days.
His mother changed her outfit four times.
Mama'd be very upset if she knew we didn't see our cousins so much.
Well, my daughter's too important... Manhattan.
She's the buyer for her department.
And him, Mr. Bigshot.
Ma.
You see what he's driving?
A Cadillac.
He's not a movie star. What business does he have with a Cadillac?
He makes one dollar, he spends two.
Here, there, this, that.
He's running errands for Billy D'Angelo.
In California even.
I said, "Leonardo...
what business do you have in California?
California's no place for a good Italian boy."
California, when was that, Lenny?
You know, I went...
It's getting a little hot in here.
I'm gonna turn the heat down.
Excuse me, Della, Aunt Petsy.
You don't mind if I borrow Lenny for a while?
Go outside, get some fresh air... "passeggiata".
Oh, passeggiata.
(kissing good-bye) I'll see you real soon.
And don't be a stranger, huh?
Giorgio, you married yet?
No, not yet. No time for that, Della.
I've got the time, I just ain't got the man.
She's keeping bad company, a policeman.
I was going with a police officer...
and my mother thinks that's a bad influence.
Ah, little Della.
Isn't that what my father used to call you?
Well, little Della's not so little anymore.
Ma.
Nice car, Lenny.
Yeah, I got a deal on it.
So, you gonna level with me?
Hey, I got nothing to say, Giorgio.
What happened to you, Lenny?
You were such a good kid growing up.
How come you didn't tell us about Billy D'Angelo?
Hey, man... what do you want to know about Billy?
Don't play games with me.
You know what the Clericuzio does to traitors.
Lenny Fortunato ain't so fortunate anymore.
I didn't do nothing. I had nothing to do with it.
- Who did it then, Billy? - Are you kidding? He don't do crap.
I flew out to the coast with a couple of bums off the boat.
They done it.
Two little girls isn't smart.
I drove 'em, is all. It was a rented car.
Nobody told me about no murder, I swear to god.
You're here to kill me, huh? That's why you're here.
No, I'm not going to kill you.
I don't want your mother and sister to know you betrayed the family.
I didn't. I just did a job for Billy.
You know it and I know it. Now straighten up.
I gotta squeal, huh?
No, you don't gotta squeal... you just gotta tell the truth.
What does a man have if he doesn't have honor?
We're gonna fly you out to California.
You'll be under police security.
You're gonna talk to the D.A. In San Diego
and tell him who stuck a knife to those girls.
I'd rather suck on a pistol, man.
You don't want to do that to your mother.
Blood is blood, Lenny.
Giorgio and I felt we had to put this in front of you.
There's a defector in our family...
who may have infiltrated your families.
Who's the bastard?
Billy D'Angelo.
He's responsible for all of it.
Vinnie, Petie, my wife.
Lia Vazzi's whole family. Don Rosario too.
He hoped to create a war between us.
He's plotting to take over the Clericuzio family.
That greedy bastard.
He joined forces with the former head of Loddstone Studios in Hollywood.
They're having a shareholder's meeting on the 28th...
the same day as Billy's birthday.
That's when we plan to attack.
An informer told us seven men in our family
have joined D'Angelo.
We've heard three in your family, Don Sambataro...
and two from the Grillo.
Don Migliaccio.
I'm sorry about this...
your wife's nephew, Ritchie.
I'll strangle the kid.
A piano player, I'll cut off the moron's fingers.
What is this?
Billy D'Angelo rock the cradle?
Are we so fat and happy we let this happen?
All of us at this table have worked very hard to balance the power.
We've got to rid our families of this scum.
Whack the dead-beats.
Pauly Borgetto? Done anything yet?
Cross had nothing to do with that murder.
Cross? You on a first-name basis now?
Mr. De Lena...
I think he orchestrated the whole thing.
I think you're wrong.
I know he was number one hammer for the family.
I know he's responsible for a lot of hits.
But, I don't think he's a killer now.
He's the worst kind of killer.
He'll kill anybody.
- What's going on with you? - What's going on?
You falling for him? Are you enamored with this guy?
I'm not enamored. I'm not enamored with anybody.
I'm giving you my professional opinion.
Cross De Lena's trying to get his life in order.
You know how I lost my arm?
An Iraqi Army booby trap.
That's what you're caught in, a booby trap.
My partner was right. He heard it in your voice.
You're falling for the oldest trick in the book.
- I'm taking you off the case. - You can't do that.
You know how long and hard I've worked to get where I am.
I can get you your information. I can get it for you.
You have to give me more time.
You're not giving me enough time.
Okay, keep it down.
You got a few more days.
Then I come and get you myself.
Fine.
I'll be in touch.
You bet your sweet ass you'll be in touch.
Bethany?
You know what we're going to do, Bethany?
Take Dog for a walk out in the snow.
How does that sound?
Dog!
No, Bethany. That's broken. Give it to me.
Bethany, give it to me. It's broken.
Seriously. Bethany, please.
Let's take the dog out for a walk.
Let me have it.
What's going on? Everything okay in here?
Yeah, we're just going to take Dog out for a walk.
- Dog! - Let's get our sweaters on.
- Dog! - Dog's coming.
Would you get his leash, please.
I love you.
Love you...
Claudia: Lenny spilled his guts to the D.A. This morning.
The drinks were loaded.
Dirk passed out, the team moved in and killed the girls.
Lenny's in a safe place, right?
He's staying at the D.A.'s house, how safe can it get?
He testifies on Wednesday.
Dirk should be released immediately.
You know...
we can get a lot of mileage out of this, Cross.
The most famous movie star in the world framed for murder.
We'll come out smelling like roses.
Look, I'm going to be staying at a hotel for a couple of nights...
and Lenny said to tell you...
not to leave the house for a couple of days, okay?
We're not safe.
- Oh, yeah. - Yeah.
Okay.
- Are you listening to me? - I'll talk to you later.
Bethany?
Come on in, I could use the company.
- Do you want to play? - Dog...
Dog? Dog's in here?
- Dog? - Dog... Dog...
In the sofa? Here doggie.
(whistling)
Is he behind the cushion? Where's that dog.
- What is it? - Dog...
What do you have there, Bethany?
Let me see what you have there.
Bethany, it's broken.
Maybe daddy can fix it.
It's broken. Let daddy fix it.
Where did this come from, Bethany?
Where did this come from?
From the painting?
Where?
Where by the painting?
Over here?
Oh... there it is.
Who put this here, Bethany?
Was it one of the men that work here?
Is that who put it there?
Who put this behind the painting, I wonder?
Do you know who?
Jo... ssss... seee.
Josie?
Josie put it behind the painting?
Jo... sie...
Josie put it behind the painting.
Good girl.
Cross?
I can explain.
All this time I believed in you.
- What have you told them? - Nothing.
You work for the FBI, right?
I got caught up in something. But I got out.
You have to believe me. It's over.
Tell me what they know.
First I reported things.
Like what Rose Marie said about you killing her son.
Uh-huh, go on...
I was trying to get out and I did. You have to believe me.
So you planted a wire in my house.
How long has it been there?
Not long. I ripped it out yesterday.
I told them, Cross. I told them how you changed.
I was just trying to locate them until I found a way of telling you.
I love you. You have to believe me.
What we have is nothing.
Not love.
It was for me.
Bruno was telling the truth. You know about our plans.
They don't. I was listening.
I was listening in the kitchen, but I didn't tell them.
They know when we're striking. They know the date.
They're going to show up here.
The FBI is going to show up in this house.
They don't know anything.
Please, Cross, just listen to me.
At first, I was trying to do a good job...
and then I fell in love with you.
I protected you. I lied to them.
I lied to them about a lot of things.
I went against everything that I believe in.
Everything that I've been taught since I was a little girl.
You'll have a one-way ticket to anyplace in the world.
And enough cash to be comfortable.
I don't ever want to hear from you again.
What about Bethany? She loves me.
You don't go near Bethany.
For a minute there...
I thought you were going to kill me.
Take your stuff and get out.
Josie!
Bethany, come inside right now.
Josie!
No, stop.
Josie!
Bethany, darling... come along.
Folks...
and I call you folks because that's all we are.
I have horrible news tonight.
Claudia De Lena, president of Loddstone Studios...
was killed in an explosion in her house.
Apparently it was some kind of gas leak.
I come before you, the shareholders...
of the once great Loddstone Studios...
with a heavy heart.
She was a gallant gal.
We'll miss her.
But I give you a solemn pledge that Loddstone will be great again.
Because, Bobby Bantz, he's back in town.
- What do you think? - Very moving, Bobby.
But I don't think you should dance.
That's my own improvisation, but I can cut that.
Look at you, you mormon minx.
You're like Brigham Young said...
"I don't care how you bring 'em, but Bring 'em young."
Later, darling. Ivar is here.
OK, go take care of Ivar. Go get him a drink or something.
Oh, by the way... what do you think of the shirt?
Do you like it? I can go with a more formal black t-shirt
or a vinyl Helmut Lang thing.
Something a little more respectful. More appropriate.
Right. Respectable, appropriate. That's what I want.
Oh, that's what I want.
Right now... Loddstone is undergoing a major crisis.
Our biggest star is facing murder charges.
Our leader is in Valhalla.
But with me at the helm, Loddstone will flourish.
Right now, plans are under way to reshoot "The Fumigator"
with an exciting new star.
A new talent that is going to amaze the world.
The strongest. The meanest, leanest...
the sexiest Swede ever to put his size 16 into Hollywood cement.
I give you Ivar "The Wonderbar" Larsen.
He's still practicing his speech.
Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee.
Come on, Ivar. Lara. Let's get the show on the road.
Look at this...
Look at this night!
Smell that air?
This is why I live out here.
That salty air. Hollywood, I love this...
Oh, God, Ivar. You scared the "wonderbar" out of me.
Where we going? Put me down.
No, no, no. Wait!
Ladies and gentlemen, a terrible tragedy has occurred.
Apparently, Bobby Bantz jumped from his hotel balcony...
about twenty minutes ago.
We all know Bobby had a hard time dealing with the loss of his command.
And I can only say that I feel a tremendous sadness for him...
that he would be so desperate.
On a happier note, I would like to announce...
shooting will resume on "The Fumigator."
(applause)
Our star, Dirk Von Shalberg...
will be back in front of the cameras in a few weeks.
A witness has come forward...
and his testimony will clear Mr. Von Shalberg of all charges.
I would like to thank you all...
for your tremendous loyalty and your staunch support.
Ladies and gentlemen...
please be assured that, once again...
Loddstone Studios rests in strong hands.
(applause)
(chuckles) Is this a joke?
No, no joke.
- Happy Birthday, Billy. - Oh, thank you.
What the hell is this? There's nobody here.
No. Just you and me.
Sit down.
Go ahead, blow out the candle...
make a wish.
It'll be your last.
What did I do? Did I do something wrong?
Yeah, you did a lot wrong.
You betrayed me, friend.
You took away my wife.
- Cross, why do you say that? - You killed her, you son of a bitch.
You killed Athena.
This has to be some kind of joke.
That depends on what makes you laugh, Billy.
Cross, come on. Don't do me like this.
I'm Billy D'Angelo, remember?
Billy the Angel.
I can walk alone, bastard.
I don't need anybody to holding my hand.
What do we have here, Guido?
You can't do this alone? You need your soldiers?
Get off of me, you Sicilian freak-show.
Come on, I'm empty. Can't you do this alone?
Lia, leave him alone.
Come on, Cross.
You get soft there in Paris?
Well, you know what I was doing while you were sitting at cafes
and sleeping with your Hollywood starlet?
I was getting blood on my hands. Doing the dirty work.
It's time, brother. Time to get your hands dirty.
Here we are. End of the line. Last stop for the bottom feeders.
No way out!
Nope. No way out.
I was so close.
About that far away from number one.
It was yours. I never wanted it.
I couldn't have it. I'm not blood.
But I'll tell you something...
if I can't have it...
I'm glad that you can.
Go ahead.
Take me out.
Maybe I should let you do the noble thing.
You still love me after all, don't you?
(click)
No, I don't.
(continues clicking)
He's all yours.
You killed me, Pop.
You killed everything good in me.
No.
You put a gun in my hand and taught me how to pull the trigger.
Remember? You said, "Pull it gently."
What can I say?
I got some regrets.
You're my father, you taught me how to kill.
Hey...
I was looking out for you.
I was teaching you how to survive.
It was the only way I knew.
You're half of me, Cross.
Maybe not your better half...
but I love you, son.
You gotta know that.
Yeah, I know, Pop.
I know.
I love you, too.
Excuse us, we can't keep our hands off each other.
Don Croccifixo, thank you for your time and your patience.
It's a big help to me.
Giorgio, welcome home.
Good to be back.
Croccifixo's going to help us with a little business problem.
That's great, Gino. That's great.
(speaking Italian)
Look at you, nice shirt.
You like that, huh?
Listen, she's right outside. You mind if...
What the hell are you waiting for? Bring her in.
Della.
Della, this is Cross.
Don't get formal with me.
I won't stand for it.
I like her already.
Boys, I gotta tell you, this room sucks.
These drapes...
what are they ancient, or what?
Some new paint...
get some life in here.
And light...
There.
Don't you know you can't live without light?
You probably won't believe this, but Giorgio did the Hula.
Wait a minute.
I got pictures. In a grass skirt.
There was this luau...
and one of the hula girls chose him out of the audience.
Giorgio in a grass skirt. Now that I gotta see.
You're never gonna see it. I'm going to burn the negatives.
What's it like there?
Hawaii?
Gorgeous.
Giorgio wanted to go to Sicily. I said, "What the hell for?"
I don't want to spend my honeymoon looking at ancient ruins...
I see enough of that when I look in the mirror.
Stop.
I've been thinking about going to Bali.
It's safe now, Cross...
for me to go?
Yes Rose Marie. It's safe.
You're safe.
Do it.
I wasted years, never took a vacation.
I thought, that's all my life is going to be.
Then I hooked up with the sweetest man in the world.
Your brother.
I wish you luck, Della.
And I hope you'll be as happy in this house...
as I've been.
Della, you don't have to do that.
That's all right. It'll take me a while to get used to being waited on.
We've got plenty of people who can...
You want to help me, Bethany?
Go on, honey.
Your Aunt Della wants you to help her.
It's all right.
I thought I'd go out to Vegas for a while...
Iook after business at the Xanadu.
Cross, you know this is your home.
Yeah, sure. I know.
Anyway, I'd like to spend a little time with Claudia in LA.
I thought it'd be nice for Bethany.
My father would have been so proud of you.
You saved everything he worked his entire life for.
- He thought he was the last Don. - That's what you've become.
That's because you refused the job.
- You were born for it. - Who knows what I was born for?
