Short filmTranscript
00:02:30It's times like these that the phrase, married to the mob, takes on a whole different meaning.
00:02:54I never thought it would end up like this.
00:02:59I'm Big Jim Cartoni, and this is my story.
00:03:03I'm a businessman, not quite legit, but a businessman still the same.
00:03:16I'm third generation Chicago.
00:03:19My dad was a businessman, and they say his dad was a businessman for the big man himself,
00:03:25Al Capone.
00:03:28I don't know if that's true or not, but it does help my reputation.
00:03:39But business hasn't been too good lately.
00:03:43Wait a second, I'm getting way ahead of myself.
00:03:47To better understand my story, let me take you back to where it all began.
00:03:59The one on the right, that's me.
00:04:04That's Joey Moran.
00:04:05Now, he was always causing trouble.
00:04:09Ever since we met, he was nothing but trouble to me.
00:04:12Hey!
00:04:13Come here, you little pups!
00:04:14Get over here!
00:04:15I got you!
00:04:16You're going to jail!
00:04:17I put it back!
00:04:18I didn't take it!
00:04:19You didn't take it, huh?
00:04:20What's this?
00:04:21I swear, I put it back!
00:04:22He's what my mom would call a bad seed.
00:04:23Come back here again, you pups!
00:04:24I'll kick your ass!
00:04:26Yeah, yeah, kick this!
00:04:27God, he was an ugly kid.
00:04:28Even as we got older, no matter where I was or what I was doing, rest assured Joey'd be
00:04:47there, causing me problems.
00:04:49You wonder why I put up with it.
00:04:52Well, Joey being Joey, sometimes even caused problems for himself.
00:04:53Joey!
00:04:54That's enough!
00:04:55Let's go!
00:04:56What?
00:04:57We didn't even get in yet!
00:04:58Look, we've got to go now!
00:04:59The cops are going to be here any minute!
00:05:00Fuck them!
00:05:01Fuck the damn cops!
00:05:02What are you doing?
00:05:03Everyone fucking digs your hot-ass shit!
00:05:04It's no time to have a pissing conversation!
00:05:05You want to fucking go?
00:05:06Go!
00:05:07You know what?
00:05:08I kind of do, I'm a fucking loser.
00:05:09I'm a fucking loser!
00:05:10I'm a fucking loser!
00:05:11I'm a fucking loser!
00:05:12I'm a fucking loser!
00:05:13I'm a fucking loser!
00:05:14I'm a fucking loser!
00:05:15I'm a fucking loser!
00:05:16I'm a fucking loser!
00:05:17I'm a fucking loser!
00:05:19I kind of do, I'm a fucking loser.
00:05:21Learn asshole!
00:05:30Fucking pigs.
00:05:37Joey never did say anything to the cops about me that night.
00:05:41But to this day, he still blames me for getting caught.
00:05:49Big Jim.
00:05:51It's your move.
00:05:54Hey, guys, can you take it to the back?
00:05:55We're getting kind of busy.
00:05:58Right now?
00:05:59Just getting comfortable.
00:06:01Does the word today mean anything to you?
00:06:03You know, you're just like an angel.
00:06:06Always up in the air, harping about something.
00:06:08I seem to recall you liked it when I made noise.
00:06:11That was a problem.
00:06:12You never knew when to shut up.
00:06:14Come on, let's go.
00:06:15This is Mick.
00:06:17He owns this joint.
00:06:19We've been friends a long time.
00:06:21My dad used to hang here when his dad owned it.
00:06:24He's not one of us.
00:06:26He's never wanted to be.
00:06:28But there's no one I trust more.
00:06:32Meet Billie.
00:06:33Her mom named her after Billie Holiday.
00:06:36She's always had a dream of making it as a singer.
00:06:39And she's always had a dream.
00:06:41She's always had a dream.
00:06:42She's always had a dream of making it as a singer.
00:06:45She has a heart of gold.
00:06:47But trust me.
00:06:49Don't mess with her.
00:06:53Now Jack.
00:06:55He's in love with the old-time gangster era.
00:06:58He grew up wanting to be a gangster from the 20s.
00:07:01He lives and breathes James Cagney.
00:07:04That's why he dresses like he does.
00:07:06Some find that a bit strange.
00:07:08But if there's anyone I want covering my back,
00:07:10it would be him.
00:07:12This guy we call Southside.
00:07:14His real name?
00:07:16Seymour Glotnick.
00:07:18But don't call him Seymour.
00:07:20He's very good with a gun.
00:07:22And rumor has it that the last guy who called him Seymour
00:07:25lost his ear from 20 paces.
00:07:28Now this here is Shakespeare.
00:07:31We call him that because he's an actor at heart.
00:07:34But he realized a long time ago
00:07:37that it's more profitable to play a con than to play a party.
00:07:42Hey, asshole!
00:07:45Now that's Trixie.
00:07:47The love of my life.
00:07:49You left these at home.
00:07:51Thanks, baby.
00:07:53You staying?
00:07:55No, I'll see you later.
00:07:57I'm gonna go meet Maxine.
00:07:59I wanna spend some of your money.
00:08:01Now this broad is smart.
00:08:03She's been around the block a few times
00:08:05so you can't put anything past her.
00:08:07Not even me.
00:08:09Maybe that's why we've been together for 15 years.
00:08:16Where does Mick keep the cereal?
00:08:19Hey, Shakespeare.
00:08:21Wanna go to the shooting range with me tomorrow?
00:08:23You could use the practice.
00:08:25What's that supposed to mean?
00:08:27No shooting range tomorrow.
00:08:29We gotta pick up for the boss.
00:08:31We're gonna need you there.
00:08:33Hey, I'll be there.
00:08:35Jack, relax.
00:08:37Right now, deal the cards.
00:08:39Twos and one-eyed jacks are wild.
00:08:44Throw your money in, sweetheart.
00:08:46I wish I had money.
00:08:48A lot of money.
00:08:50If you had a lot of money, you wouldn't know what to do with it.
00:08:52I do.
00:08:54I travel,
00:08:56learn to ski,
00:08:58and a lot of broads.
00:09:00If you had plenty of broads,
00:09:02you would not have plenty of money.
00:09:04You know, Jack, you're just pissed off
00:09:05because Billy dumped your ass.
00:09:07Yeah, well, I've got money.
00:09:10That reminds me, Jack.
00:09:12When's the big wedding day?
00:09:15The wedding day?
00:09:17The same day you open your nightclub.
00:09:19In fact, we can have the reception right there.
00:09:21Don't get him started.
00:09:23It's not just a nightclub.
00:09:25You wouldn't have gotten him started.
00:09:27It's a 1920s nightclub.
00:09:29A speakeasy.
00:09:31I thought speakeasies were illegal.
00:09:33It's not a real speakeasy.
00:09:35Good food, booze.
00:09:37Best of all,
00:09:39it would be legit.
00:09:41A legit speakeasy.
00:09:43It's like saying an honest politician.
00:09:45They can't miss.
00:09:47The boss ain't gonna let that happen.
00:09:49It's our ticket out.
00:09:51We can all go straight.
00:09:53Jim!
00:09:55Jim, you know I love you, right?
00:09:57We all love you.
00:09:59But this is the real world.
00:10:01Remember what happened to Anthony Capelli?
00:10:03Yeah, but look, that was the 1930s.
00:10:05He went straight.
00:10:07And he got out.
00:10:09Yeah, he went straight.
00:10:11Opened his own club.
00:10:13And how did his boss reward him?
00:10:15Two shots to the head.
00:10:17I fold.
00:10:19I fold too.
00:10:21He's right.
00:10:23You just can't walk away from the boss.
00:10:25I mean, you of all people should know that.
00:10:27Yeah, Jim.
00:10:29Once you're in,
00:10:31you can't get out.
00:10:36You could what?
00:10:38Eat cereal three times a day.
00:10:40What are you yammering about?
00:10:42Cereal.
00:10:44You can have it hot or cold.
00:10:46Dry, with milk.
00:10:48It's nutritious.
00:10:50You're nuts.
00:10:52Lasagna.
00:10:54That I could eat three times a day.
00:10:56If you ate lasagna three times a day,
00:10:58you'd look like Joey Moran.
00:11:00What time is it?
00:11:02You guys are fucking making me hungry.
00:11:03Yeah, well, they should have been here by now.
00:11:05Look, I'm getting tired of doing this shit too, okay?
00:11:08Well, I'm getting tired of waiting.
00:11:10I just want to get the boss' fucking money and go eat.
00:11:12No, you don't.
00:11:14You just want to go see Billy.
00:11:16No, I just want to fucking eat.
00:11:18When are you going to admit you still love her?
00:11:20When are you going to stop busting my balls?
00:11:34You're right.
00:11:58How you doing Vinnie?
00:12:00Your dad's gotten you doing the pickups now?
00:12:01Yeah. Dad wanted me to have more responsibility.
00:12:10Who's your friends?
00:12:12Enough talk. Hand over the money.
00:12:17Do you realize what you're doing?
00:12:20I don't think that is any of your concern. The money. Now!
00:12:25Just relax. Relax.
00:12:28Shakes, go on. Get the money.
00:12:33Jim.
00:12:41Vinnie, you okay?
00:12:42Your boss' baby is just fine. You want to keep it that way?
00:12:46Just give us the money. We'll be on our way.
00:12:50Bring it over here!
00:12:58Do it.
00:13:05It's all there.
00:13:09You're making a big mistake.
00:13:11Well, fuck you!
00:13:17You cocksuckers!
00:13:22Shakespeare!
00:13:25Get Jim!
00:13:29Fuck!
00:13:41Is he okay?
00:13:42I don't know.
00:13:50Next time, use it.
00:13:59You can't park that there!
00:14:01You move it!
00:14:05A shooting victim.
00:14:06Which one?
00:14:07Billy.
00:14:09Jack. Oh, thank God you're okay.
00:14:14What are you doing here?
00:14:16I heard about what happened to Billy.
00:14:18What happened to Billy?
00:14:20I don't know.
00:14:22I don't know.
00:14:25What are you doing here?
00:14:27I heard about what happened. I thought you got hurt.
00:14:30I'm fine.
00:14:31I mean, I'm just glad you guys are all right.
00:14:34How'd you hear about this?
00:14:36Everybody's heard.
00:14:38We should take this outside.
00:14:41Yeah, you're right.
00:14:44How can you eat at a time like this?
00:14:48I'm hungry.
00:14:51What's up your ass? Jim's fine.
00:14:54I missed.
00:14:56Missed what?
00:14:58The guy on the roof. I missed him.
00:15:01No, you didn't.
00:15:02Yes, I did.
00:15:03No, you didn't. I saw. You took him out with one shot.
00:15:07I hit the rifle, Shakespeare. I was aiming for him.
00:15:17Yeah, I'll see if he checked in.
00:15:19It was an emergency. You never know.
00:15:24Oh, hi, Jack.
00:15:25Oh, shit.
00:15:27Here for the annual blood drive?
00:15:30Oh, yeah. I've almost forgot how stupid of me.
00:15:33You guys just had a major fuck-up tonight, now, didn't you?
00:15:36Even rats have ears.
00:15:39Where is he?
00:15:40You're the fucking detective.
00:15:41Do we have to do this now?
00:15:43Hey, look. I was having a nice cup of coffee when we got this, so don't get me in.
00:15:50Well, you're a lucky guy. Looks like the bullet went right through.
00:15:53You should be okay.
00:15:55Excuse me. You can't come in here.
00:15:57Oh, it's okay. We're old friends.
00:15:59I'm Detective Morrison. This is Detective Elliott.
00:16:01We need to ask him some questions.
00:16:03All right, but he's been through a lot, so don't be long.
00:16:05I was wondering when you two were gonna get her.
00:16:07You can leave now.
00:16:09You can kiss my ass.
00:16:11Why don't you just go?
00:16:13Yeah, why don't you go, Trixie?
00:16:15Go back to the streets where you belong.
00:16:17You know, Lorraine, I seem to recall you worked the streets pretty good yourself once.
00:16:20I was working vice.
00:16:22Not 15 years ago you weren't.
00:16:25Open the fucking door.
00:16:30So, Jim, you gonna tell me what happened?
00:16:32I don't know, Ben. What happened?
00:16:34I want to know who did this to you.
00:16:36Oh, I think it was a drive-by.
00:16:38A drive-by. Are you gonna help us or not?
00:16:40Help you with what?
00:16:42You need tickets to the Bears game, right?
00:16:44Enough!
00:16:46Why don't you get a copy of his chart so we can get out of here?
00:16:55So let me get this straight.
00:16:57You don't know nothing, you didn't see nothing, you didn't hear nothing.
00:17:00Something like that, yeah.
00:17:02Okay, you get this straight.
00:17:04I know you're sitting here on a hospital bed with a bullet hole through your shoulder.
00:17:07I see three of your pals out there stinking up the waiting room,
00:17:10and I hear Joey Moran's behind all of this.
00:17:12You didn't hear anything. Joey's not that stupid.
00:17:14Okay, whatever.
00:17:16Whoever did this to you obviously doesn't like you,
00:17:18and maybe, just maybe, whoever it is,
00:17:20is gonna try it again.
00:17:22And all I'm trying to do is stop him.
00:17:32Oh, and by the way,
00:17:34Joey is that stupid.
00:17:43They're definitely not Chicago.
00:17:45Yeah, I don't know who they were.
00:17:47I didn't recognize any of those clowns.
00:17:49Morrison actually thinks that Moran was behind this.
00:17:52Yeah, yeah.
00:17:54Thanks, baby.
00:17:56Well, whoever they were, they got big balls.
00:17:58Yeah, now they get a lot of money.
00:18:00I still don't know how they got their hands on Vinnie.
00:18:03He's the boss's son, for Christ's sake.
00:18:05Whatever happened to Vinnie, I didn't see him.
00:18:07I don't know.
00:18:10You know, this had to be an inside job.
00:18:12I mean, they knew about the drop.
00:18:14They knew where we were gonna be.
00:18:16They even knew about Vinnie.
00:18:18We've been through all this.
00:18:20How about you boys call it a night and finish this tomorrow?
00:18:22We could all use a little sleep,
00:18:24especially you.
00:18:26You know what? You're right.
00:18:28I don't know if I can do it.
00:18:30I don't know if I can do it.
00:18:32I don't know if I can do it.
00:18:34I don't know if I can do it.
00:18:36I don't know if I can do it.
00:18:38You know what? You're right.
00:18:40I've still got to figure out how to break the bad news to the boss.
00:18:43Will Vinnie be in there?
00:18:45I'm sure he already knows.
00:18:47I'm going home.
00:18:49Good night, everybody.
00:18:53I'm gonna walk her out.
00:19:01Billy, wait!
00:19:04What do you want, Jordan?
00:19:06Did you have a night at the hospital?
00:19:08No.
00:19:10I just wanted to say it meant a lot to see you there.
00:19:13That's all.
00:19:15Wait.
00:19:17What?
00:19:19Sorry.
00:19:21It's just that being there tonight brought back a lot of old memories.
00:19:25Jack, when I heard about what happened, I thought you were dead.
00:19:29I told myself I would never live like that again.
00:19:32You should know that.
00:19:34I do know that.
00:19:36No, I don't think you do.
00:19:38Hey, don't act like what happened tonight happened every night, okay?
00:19:41Jack, you don't understand. That was always our biggest problem.
00:19:44Do you know what being with you meant for me?
00:19:46I had to worry like this every night.
00:19:49What do you want me to say?
00:19:51This is what I do.
00:19:53It's who I am. I can't change.
00:19:55Exactly.
00:19:57And I don't want you to change.
00:19:59I can't live in constant fear that the man I love is gonna wind up dead.
00:20:04Why is that so hard for you to understand?
00:20:10Wait.
00:20:12Where are you going?
00:20:16Fine.
00:20:23Jack, why are you still here? I thought you went home with Billy.
00:20:26I think I had enough excitement for one night.
00:20:28Why don't you boys go home?
00:20:30What about you?
00:20:31I'll be all right.
00:20:35You hungry?
00:20:37See you in the morning.
00:20:40Mick, pour me a drink, will ya?
00:20:42You got it, Jim.
00:20:44I'm getting too old for this shit.
00:20:46I almost had my head blown off tonight.
00:20:48For what?
00:20:49Somebody else's fucking money.
00:20:51You're just tired.
00:20:53You're damn right I am.
00:20:54Tired of all this shit.
00:20:56Tonight was just the icing on the cake.
00:20:58I really want out.
00:20:59Then get out.
00:21:00You're always spouting off about it.
00:21:02Why don't you just do it?
00:21:03Don't you think I would if I could?
00:21:04You can.
00:21:05It's not that easy.
00:21:06Why not?
00:21:07Mick, I got people I gotta answer to.
00:21:09My hands are tied.
00:21:10The boss isn't just gonna let me walk away.
00:21:12Have you ever thought about just asking him?
00:21:14No, because I know what his answer would be.
00:21:16Look, Jim, you worked for the boss for a long time.
00:21:19That's gotta carry some weight.
00:21:21I don't wanna end up like Anthony Capelli, okay?
00:21:23Come on, this ain't the 30s.
00:21:25You can't tell me they still work that way.
00:21:27I'd rather not find out.
00:21:29You know, talking like that,
00:21:31it's no wonder why you're still under the boss's thumb.
00:21:33Look, Jim, talk to the boss.
00:21:36Open up the club and give yourself some peace.
00:21:39He's right.
00:21:42Well, you know, if I could find the right place,
00:21:44I could be tempted.
00:21:45Oh, yeah?
00:21:47Well, you know that place on South State Street
00:21:49you've been eyeballing?
00:21:50It's for sale.
00:21:51You shouldn't.
00:21:52No.
00:21:53You know what?
00:21:54I don't even wanna go there,
00:21:55because you and I both know
00:21:57that I ain't got that kind of money.
00:21:59Oh, you ain't got the money?
00:22:00No.
00:22:01Hold on a minute.
00:22:04How many times I gotta tell you I ain't got the money?
00:22:11Now you do.
00:22:14$100,000.
00:22:16Is your idea of a joke?
00:22:17No, it ain't a joke.
00:22:19How many times have you helped me out?
00:22:20Now it's my turn to help you out.
00:22:22You can't be serious.
00:22:23Mick, this is a lot of money.
00:22:24No, I'm serious.
00:22:26But this ain't no strings attached deal.
00:22:28You're really on the level.
00:22:30Yeah, I'm on the level.
00:22:31You wanna be partners or what?
00:22:32Look, Mick, it's been a long day.
00:22:35I really don't know what to say.
00:22:37All right, Jim, you don't have to say anything right now.
00:22:39Just know that the offer's on the table.
00:22:41You don't have to make any decisions right now.
00:22:43But do me a favor.
00:22:45Jim, promise me you'll think about this.
00:22:47I'll think about it, okay?
00:22:49All right, you know what?
00:22:50You're right.
00:22:51It's late.
00:22:52It's time we all get out of here right now.
00:23:06Yeah.
00:23:10What time?
00:23:13Okay, we'll be there.
00:23:15Is everything all right?
00:23:17Yeah, everything's fine.
00:23:20Yeah, Jack.
00:23:22Gather the boys, will you?
00:23:25Yeah, the boss wants to see us.
00:23:34He's here.
00:23:40He's ready for you.
00:23:50Okay.
00:23:59Big Jim!
00:24:01Does that hurt?
00:24:03I hear you and your boys are getting a little sloppy.
00:24:07Angel, cut that out.
00:24:10Jimmy, come on in. Sit down.
00:24:19I heard about what happened last night.
00:24:21Let me explain.
00:24:23Don't talk. Just listen.
00:24:25A hundred G's?
00:24:27That's a lot of money.
00:24:30That's money that was mine.
00:24:33And money that you guys lost.
00:24:36You can buy a lot with a hundred G's.
00:24:40That wasn't that smart.
00:24:41And on top of that,
00:24:43I found out that my boy,
00:24:45my life's blood,
00:24:48was in a shootout?
00:24:52That was not smart.
00:24:53It had to be a set-up.
00:24:55Let me finish.
00:24:57There can be no excuse for what happened last night.
00:25:00Now, I love my money.
00:25:02But I love my son more.
00:25:05And I know he ain't the brightest.
00:25:07And I want to apologize to you for his actions.
00:25:11But so I don't got to worry
00:25:13about this kind of thing happening again,
00:25:16I'm going to send Vinnie out of town
00:25:18to my cousin's for an extended visit.
00:25:21Let's say, uh, Sri Lanka.
00:25:23Dad!
00:25:24Shut it!
00:25:30I want to thank you for saving his life.
00:25:33And I know you guys put your lives on the line.
00:25:36And I want to give you something
00:25:38to show my gratitude for what you did.
00:25:41I really don't want anything.
00:25:43Jimmy, you want money?
00:25:45You want cash?
00:25:47You know what? There is something.
00:25:49You want broads, too?
00:25:51Come on, Jimmy.
00:25:53You can have whatever you want.
00:25:54That's not it.
00:25:55Then what do you want? Tell me.
00:25:57What is it?
00:26:03I want to get out
00:26:05and be away from all this.
00:26:09That's it?
00:26:11Yeah, that's it.
00:26:16You got it. No problem.
00:26:23You and the boys can have all the time off you want.
00:26:26Anyways, you've been working too hard.
00:26:28With your arm in a sling like that,
00:26:30what gives you to me?
00:26:32I'll let Louie and the boys do your collections
00:26:34while you're gone.
00:26:36So go lie on a beach somewhere.
00:26:38Have a good time.
00:26:39Now when you get back,
00:26:41we're going to find the pricks who did this,
00:26:43and we're going to make them pay.
00:26:49Come here.
00:26:53Good boy.
00:26:55Gino, bring the envelope.
00:27:03Hey, Jimmy.
00:27:06Hey, Jim.
00:27:08You sure you don't want those broads?
00:27:11You remember Mimi, don't you?
00:27:20What happened?
00:27:22We got a vacation.
00:27:24I didn't know I needed a vacation.
00:27:25Look, let's just get the hell out of here
00:27:27before he changes his mind.
00:27:28Jack, you want to go get the car?
00:27:30Big Jimmy, you going to tell us what happened?
00:27:32I'm going to tell you on the way.
00:27:33Where are we going?
00:27:34To the park.
00:27:57Hey, Max.
00:28:04Partners?
00:28:07Yeah, partners.
00:28:22Your life has taken all your dreams away
00:28:27And left you searching for a reason to go on
00:28:33There's a moment when you question
00:28:36If you have the strength
00:28:39To overcome your fear of failure
00:28:43And be strong
00:28:46To believe in who you are
00:28:49And a cause that's just and right
00:28:52To erase the chance of doubt
00:28:55And to know it's worth the fight
00:29:00Desires of the heart
00:29:05A light that burns within you
00:29:08In a frame that cannot be denied
00:29:16Desires of a heart
00:29:20A reflection of your senses
00:29:23A passion without fences
00:29:26A way to find a heaven here on earth
00:29:31Desires of the heart
00:29:39We stand our ground when darkness closes in
00:29:45To assure us when we cannot find our way
00:29:51We must be patient till we see the light
00:29:57To be sure we can be safe beyond today
00:30:03With our backs against the wall
00:30:06And we're forced to make the choice
00:30:09To defend the things we've done
00:30:13With a strong and steady voice
00:30:16Hey, desires of the heart
00:30:22It's a light that burns within you
00:30:26In a frame that cannot be denied
00:30:32Oh, desires of the heart
00:30:38A reflection of your senses
00:30:41A passion without fences
00:30:45A way to find a heaven here on earth
00:30:49Desires of the heart
00:30:54To turn your back on all you know
00:30:57To walk away
00:31:00And to reach beyond your passion
00:31:03For your dreams
00:31:05We're looking at the porn. Looks good.
00:31:07This is great. Looks good.
00:31:09What is this doing?
00:31:11Making you a lot of money, my friend.
00:31:13Really?
00:31:14Yes.
00:31:15We're not doing this anymore.
00:31:17What?
00:31:18This.
00:31:19What?
00:31:20Excuse me.
00:31:21Wait. Big Jim, come on.
00:31:22No, no, no. It was his idea.
00:31:23It was your idea.
00:31:24It was his idea.
00:31:25It was his idea.
00:31:26It's a light that burns within you
00:31:28In a frame that cannot be denied
00:31:34Oh, desires of the heart
00:31:40A reflection of your senses
00:31:43A passion without fences
00:31:46A way to find a heaven here on earth
00:31:51Desires of the heart
00:31:58Desires of the heart
00:32:04We've already had a delivery back.
00:32:06Stop worrying, will ya?
00:32:08If we need another, I'll make a call.
00:32:10Okay?
00:32:11Everything's going to be fine, Jim.
00:32:13Can you believe this?
00:32:16After all this shit I've pulled, I'm nervous.
00:32:18I'm actually nervous.
00:32:20It's called stage fright.
00:32:21Don't worry.
00:32:22By this time next week, it'll all be old hat.
00:32:25Let me tell you something.
00:32:26Next week is not going to be soon enough.
00:32:28Big Jim, you are always in such a rush.
00:32:31What's he doing here?
00:32:33Fuck.
00:32:34Joey Moran.
00:32:35In the flesh.
00:32:37What, you're not happy to see me?
00:32:40What do you want, Joey?
00:32:41Is that any way to talk to an old friend?
00:32:45Oh, my goodness.
00:32:47You are looking as beautiful as ever.
00:32:51Jesus.
00:32:53What a creep.
00:33:08I gotta go check the coolers.
00:33:11Don't get locked in.
00:33:15Hey.
00:33:16It has been a long time.
00:33:18What do you want?
00:33:20Well, I heard that you were opening this place,
00:33:22so I thought I'd come by and congratulate you.
00:33:25Really?
00:33:26Yeah.
00:33:28You did good.
00:33:31This is nice.
00:33:34A lot of nice stuff in here.
00:33:38Is this crystal?
00:33:42Tell me something.
00:33:46That is a really nice painting.
00:33:50Does the boss know you're doing this?
00:33:52Oh, wait a minute.
00:33:53What am I saying?
00:33:54Of course the boss knows you're doing this.
00:33:56You wouldn't do anything without his blessing.
00:33:59Or would you?
00:34:00Joey, why are you here?
00:34:02You are always in such a rush.
00:34:05Relax.
00:34:07You'll live longer.
00:34:10I actually came by here to invite you to my place.
00:34:14Your place?
00:34:15Yeah, I thought it was kind of a funny little coincidence, though.
00:34:18I mean, I figured you were opening up this place
00:34:21because you heard about my place.
00:34:24What are you talking about?
00:34:25My club.
00:34:26Moran's.
00:34:28Nice name, ain't it?
00:34:30You opened your own club?
00:34:31Yeah.
00:34:32When?
00:34:33Tonight.
00:34:35It's my grand opening.
00:34:36That's why I came by.
00:34:37I want you and your boys to be there.
00:34:40On the house.
00:34:41You'll be my guests of honor.
00:34:44You know, that's really nice, Joey.
00:34:47But we're very busy around here.
00:34:49Oh, yeah, I can see that.
00:34:52Come on, Jim.
00:34:53You gotta come.
00:34:54It wouldn't be the same without you.
00:34:56What with our history and all.
00:34:57Besides, I have a very big surprise just for you.
00:35:01You gotta be there.
00:35:02I'm begging you.
00:35:04You know what?
00:35:05You're right.
00:35:06We'll be there.
00:35:07Beautiful!
00:35:08You are going to have the time of your life.
00:35:10I'm going to tell you right now, Joey.
00:35:12You pull out of your shed.
00:35:14I swear to God.
00:35:15Who, me?
00:35:17Nine o'clock.
00:35:28You know, I always thought that guy was the one behind it.
00:35:31Just when you think you know how somebody operates,
00:35:33you turn around and they fuck you.
00:35:35Shit.
00:35:36You can't trust nobody in this business.
00:35:39And nobody, I mean nobody, fucks with me.
00:35:43Boss, this could cause us problems.
00:35:46I don't care.
00:35:48I don't care.
00:35:49I don't care.
00:35:50I don't care.
00:35:51I don't care.
00:35:52I don't care.
00:35:53I don't care.
00:35:54I don't care.
00:35:55I don't care.
00:35:56We could cause problems.
00:35:58Dead, I want them dead.
00:36:01I don't care how you do it, but I want them all dead!
00:36:07Welcome to Morant's, fellas.
00:36:10Invitation please.
00:36:13Joey knows me.
00:36:14Invitation.
00:36:18What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:36:20These are my guests of honor, let them in.
00:36:26All you had to say was please.
00:36:56All you had to say was please.
00:37:27What an asshole.
00:37:49Hey, nothing but the best for my friends, huh?
00:37:53Sharky!
00:37:54A round of drinks for these guys.
00:37:56Yes, sir, Mr. Moran.
00:37:57So what do you think, huh?
00:37:59You know, it's no club called Tony's, but hey, I tried.
00:38:02I gotta admit, Joe, you did good.
00:38:04Well, thank you very much.
00:38:06The prices seem a little steep.
00:38:07Don't you fellas worry about it, because you are my guests.
00:38:13You like that?
00:38:15You want it?
00:38:16She owes me a favor.
00:38:19Fellas, you're going to have to excuse me.
00:38:21I'll be right back.
00:38:22Joey, is it time yet?
00:38:24Can't you see I'm fucking busy?
00:38:25Oh, Joey, you're so cute.
00:38:27Will you get the fuck out of here?
00:38:28Okay.
00:38:29Fucking box of rocks.
00:38:31Fellas, look, I'm a very busy man.
00:38:33You're going to have to excuse me.
00:38:34You want to stay.
00:38:35You're a businessman now.
00:38:36Whatever you want, fellas, it's on the house tonight.
00:38:39Enjoy yourselves.
00:38:40I'll check in with you later.
00:38:41Sharky, hurry up with them drinks.
00:38:48What an asshole.
00:38:49You think he can pour down any thicker?
00:38:51Gotta give him credit, though, man.
00:38:53This is a nice joint.
00:38:54Yeah, if you're big on schmaltz.
00:38:58Nothing, I mean, what's shot-up chicken with gangster gorgonzola?
00:39:01Or rat-a-tat ravioli?
00:39:03Okay, what's this?
00:39:04Monster margaritas.
00:39:06Do we look like fucking broads to you?
00:39:08Relax.
00:39:09Look, why don't you take our order now, okay?
00:39:13Bring us a bottle of scotch and get these out of here.
00:39:19Ladies and gentlemen, how we doing out there tonight?
00:39:30All right, all right, all right.
00:39:32Welcome to the grand opening of Moran's.
00:39:35Now, we have a very, very special guest in here tonight
00:39:38who took time out of his busy schedule to be here for my grand opening.
00:39:42I want you to put your hands together for Big Jim Cartoni.
00:39:46Come on, Jim, get up, take a bow.
00:39:50Atta boy.
00:40:01Shakes, Shakes, did you see that guy?
00:40:04I discovered this beautiful girl, and I knew a talent like hers
00:40:08deserved a home like Moran's.
00:40:11What guy?
00:40:12What guy?
00:40:13Look, I'm not sure, but I think that's the guy that robbed us.
00:40:17What would he be doing here?
00:40:19I don't know, but I intend to find out.
00:40:21So, you're going to love this girl.
00:40:23She has the voice of an angel.
00:40:25I know you're going to love her as much as I do.
00:40:27It took a lot to get her here,
00:40:29so I want you to give a big, warm welcome to beautiful Billie.
00:40:43If he's him, you think of what I'm thinking.
00:40:48That is him.
00:40:50Hey, hey, go, go, go, go.
00:40:52Go, go, go.
00:40:53Hey, go.
00:40:55I'm dressing up for baby
00:40:58Cause baby's been good
00:41:01He's done some things for mama
00:41:04Like a good boy should
00:41:07Just when I think he's perfect
00:41:10I go knocking on wood
00:41:13But still I'm dressing up for baby tonight
00:41:20I've been searching for the perfect man
00:41:26Tall, dark, and handsome
00:41:28A real dapper dan
00:41:31I've gone from Albany to Omaha
00:41:35And all in between
00:41:38Where is the castle and where is the king
00:41:41Cause here is his queen
00:41:43And now I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming
00:41:46I'm coming down with a sigh
00:41:50A perfect man with everything
00:41:53He's high in the sky
00:41:55But still I'm dressing up for baby
00:41:59Cause baby's been good
00:42:02He's done some things for mama
00:42:05Like a good boy should
00:42:08Just when I think he's perfect
00:42:11I go knocking on wood
00:42:14But still I'm dressing up for baby tonight
00:42:25I hate running.
00:42:36But why Moran?
00:42:38Look, I don't like it either, but think about it.
00:42:40This could be good for her.
00:42:42Good or not, it's just plain wrong!
00:42:44Smooth-talking men are a dozen for a dime
00:42:49They show up late, they punch the clock
00:42:52And work no overtime
00:42:54So if your guy gives an inch
00:42:58You know I'm right.
00:43:00Why don't we just wait to hear Billy's side of the story?
00:43:02Right now I don't want to hear anything she has to say!
00:43:05Hey! Enough!
00:43:07Trust me, we're going to work this out.
00:43:11I think it's time we had a little talk.
00:43:13He's done some things for mama
00:43:16Like a good boy should
00:43:18Just when I think he's perfect
00:43:21I go knocking on wood
00:43:26Yeah, that wasn't so hard.
00:43:31I'm dressing up for baby
00:43:35Tonight!
00:43:45Oh yeah!
00:43:54Ah, fuck!
00:43:56I knew Joey would never stop me like this.
00:43:59Hey, guys.
00:44:00Where have you guys been?
00:44:01You're going to want to hear this.
00:44:03Hey, everybody having a good time so far?
00:44:09Alright, well we're going to keep things rolling here.
00:44:11We're going to tantalize you guys with a little song and dance
00:44:14From Moran's Moms!
00:44:28Ah, fuck!
00:44:33Ah, fuck!
00:44:41Ah, fuck!
00:44:45Ah, fuck!
00:44:50Ah, fuck!
00:44:52Ah, fuck!
00:44:58Ah, fuck!
00:45:07Ah, fuck!
00:45:15Ah, fuck!
00:45:23Son of a bitch!
00:45:25I ought to kill you!
00:45:27I should kill you!
00:45:29What the fuck is your problem?
00:45:32You shut us up!
00:45:34What the fuck are you talking about?
00:45:36You know goddamn well what I'm talking about.
00:45:38In all the years I've known you, I never thought you'd do something this stupid.
00:45:41Did you honestly think you'd get away with it?
00:45:43She's a fucking lounge singer. I thought it would be funny.
00:45:46Shut your mouth, prick.
00:45:48This ain't about Billy.
00:45:50Billy?
00:45:52Then what is it?
00:45:54It's time you came clean, Joey.
00:45:57I hear the talk, boss.
00:45:59They put a gun to my head.
00:46:01Get the fuck out of here!
00:46:02Boss, I had to!
00:46:03And he sang like a little bird.
00:46:06You son of a bitch!
00:46:08Hey!
00:46:17Mick! Mick, my belt!
00:46:19Okay, guys, is this really necessary?
00:46:22Jack. Jack, you don't have to do this.
00:46:25Jack, please.
00:46:26Billy, get the fuck out of here.
00:46:31Fine. Kill yourself.
00:46:33Get the fuck out of here!
00:46:35Okay.
00:46:37So, now you know.
00:46:39What do you want from me?
00:46:41Because of you, I could have died.
00:46:43So what? You can thank the boss's punk kid for that.
00:46:47Oh, is that how it is, Joey?
00:46:49Doesn't matter who lives or dies.
00:46:51As long as you get what you want.
00:46:53You were an easy target.
00:46:55You practically begged me to steal that money.
00:46:58Come on. Same place, same time.
00:47:01Every fucking week, it was a piece of cake.
00:47:04Come on. Hey, you should thank me.
00:47:07If it wasn't me, it was gonna be somebody else.
00:47:10You know something, Big Jim?
00:47:12You're a fucking joke.
00:47:13I'm a joke?
00:47:14You cross a line, you take the boss's money, and I'm a joke?
00:47:17I don't give a fuck whose money it is.
00:47:20Fuck the boss. It's my money now.
00:47:23There are rules, Joey.
00:47:25To get any respect in this business, there are rules.
00:47:29Big Jim's worried about playing by the rules.
00:47:32Big Jim wants to play it safe.
00:47:35You fucking pussy.
00:47:37You're all worried about respect.
00:47:40This ain't about playing it safe, it's about being smart.
00:47:43And that's something you're not.
00:47:45Oh, don't talk to me about playing it smart.
00:47:47You could have had everything.
00:47:49Money, power, respect.
00:47:52Look at me.
00:47:54I got money. I got power.
00:47:59You know what? Fuck you!
00:48:02What are we doing here?
00:48:05We're outta here.
00:48:07Yeah, you better fucking go.
00:48:09You know something? All I gotta do is snap my fingers,
00:48:11and you would be fucking dead.
00:48:13That is power.
00:48:15You know what, Joey?
00:48:17I came in here mad enough to kill you, and I could have.
00:48:20But I'm better than that.
00:48:22I'm better than you.
00:48:24And let me tell you something.
00:48:26When the boss gets wind of this,
00:48:28you're gonna know what power is.
00:48:31Get the fuck outta here.
00:48:35Take your bitches with you, too.
00:48:37You know something?
00:48:39You're a fucking loser!
00:48:41You have always been a loser,
00:48:43and you will always be a fucking loser!
00:48:51What do you want us to do now, boss?
00:48:53Get the fuck outta here!
00:48:55Back off! Get off of me!
00:49:10I thought you'd be here.
00:49:13The boys are okay.
00:49:15Nothing happened.
00:49:17Oh, thank God.
00:49:19Oh, I messed up everything.
00:49:21Oh, honey, honey.
00:49:23It's okay. Try to calm down.
00:49:26You weren't there. You don't know what happened. I caused it.
00:49:29You didn't cause anything.
00:49:31Jim called me and told me everything.
00:49:33I told you they're fine.
00:49:35They were worried about you.
00:49:37I'm worried about you.
00:49:39You don't understand.
00:49:41If I wasn't there, then they wouldn't be there,
00:49:43and none of this would have happened.
00:49:45No, I do understand, and I have been there.
00:49:48Maybe not tonight, but I've been there.
00:49:50Let's sit down.
00:49:52Try to calm down.
00:49:54Look at you.
00:49:56You're a mess.
00:49:58I don't care.
00:50:00Yes, you do. That's why you're so upset.
00:50:03There.
00:50:05All better.
00:50:08How do you do this?
00:50:10Do what?
00:50:12This.
00:50:14Loving Jim.
00:50:16Worrying about Jim.
00:50:20I want to love Jack.
00:50:22Oh, I do love Jack.
00:50:24You love him, except...
00:50:26But it's so hard.
00:50:28It's never easy.
00:50:30It's never gonna be easy.
00:50:33I know what Jim does.
00:50:35Don't you think I worry?
00:50:37Every night I wonder if he's gonna come home.
00:50:41Then how?
00:50:43How do you stay with him?
00:50:48Because he loves me.
00:50:53Because he knows where I've been,
00:50:55what I was.
00:50:57You gotta understand that.
00:51:00He accepted me for me.
00:51:03That's why I love him.
00:51:05That's how I do it.
00:51:26Get the fuck off of me!
00:51:28You all right?
00:51:29You guys can't fucking get anything right!
00:51:31Boss!
00:51:32Shut the fuck up! I'm talking!
00:51:34Big Jim fucking squealed on me.
00:51:36Don't you help him!
00:51:38This is all your fault!
00:51:40He sold me out.
00:51:42He fucking sold me out to the boss.
00:51:44Oh, Jesus Christ.
00:51:47I can't fucking believe this.
00:51:49Why did you push me?
00:51:50I could have shot that prick!
00:51:52You stupid asshole!
00:51:54Surrounded by fucking idiots!
00:51:56God damn it. That's it!
00:51:58No more Mr. Nice Guy. Come here. Come here.
00:52:01Big Jim thinks he can order a hit on me? Huh?
00:52:04He thinks the boss knows what power is?
00:52:07I will fucking show him what power is.
00:52:09I will take that power and I will shove it up his ass!
00:52:12I want him dead! Kill him!
00:52:15What are you standing around for? Go!
00:52:21Shut the fuck up!
00:52:26Fuck.
00:52:57Look, I know you're pissed.
00:52:59All right? Just give me five minutes.
00:53:01Jack, come on.
00:53:03Please, just hear me out.
00:53:07About last night.
00:53:09It was a one night gig. Moran paid me a lot of money.
00:53:12It wasn't worth it.
00:53:14I know I hurt everybody.
00:53:16Knowing what I know now, I never would have done it.
00:53:19That's not what I'm talking about.
00:53:21Then what is?
00:53:23It's not what I'm talking about.
00:53:25Then what, Jack?
00:53:27I'm talking about us.
00:53:29There is no us.
00:53:31Yes, there is.
00:53:33Last night proved that to me.
00:53:36I came here to tell you that.
00:53:40I love you.
00:53:43You mean everything to me.
00:53:46Last night opened my eyes.
00:53:48When I pushed you away, I realized...
00:53:51My life is shit without you.
00:53:54Shit.
00:53:56You know what I'm trying to say.
00:54:00Without you, I'm nothing.
00:54:03I need you.
00:54:07Go on.
00:54:11Haven't I shown you that I'm trying to change?
00:54:14I thought that by opening up Jim's club, that would prove that to you.
00:54:21I know last night got in the way.
00:54:23I can't guarantee that will never happen again.
00:54:27But I'm trying.
00:54:31I'm really trying.
00:54:33I don't think so.
00:54:39Jack, I'll never change.
00:54:51Joey!
00:54:54Joey, honey, I'm here!
00:54:57Is it time yet?
00:55:00Joey?
00:55:03Oh.
00:55:05You want to play hide and seek again, don't you?
00:55:08Okay, I'll bite.
00:55:11Boo!
00:55:14Joey!
00:55:17Oh, honey.
00:55:19Oh, okay, we'll play the other game.
00:55:21This time, I'll be the chicken, and you can be Goldilocks, okay?
00:55:27Ah!
00:55:30Joey!
00:55:32Honey, you don't have to wear a wig, I promise.
00:55:35Joey!
00:55:38Joey!
00:55:41You don't have to wear a wig, I promise.
00:55:43Joey!
00:55:47Come on, Joey, stop playing.
00:56:09Ah!
00:56:11Blood.
00:56:13Big Jim really screwed up.
00:56:15We got him this time.
00:56:17Got him?
00:56:18What do you mean, we got him?
00:56:20Look, we got a bullet out of the wall.
00:56:22There's blood all over the place in there, which I'll lay you odds is Moran's.
00:56:25And to top it off, we've got 10,000 witnesses saying Big Jim was here last night,
00:56:30raving like a maniac and screaming he was going to kill Moran.
00:56:35It's like a gift from heaven.
00:56:37Big Jim and Moran have never threatened each other before.
00:56:40Besides, shooting people isn't Big Jim's style.
00:56:43What's wrong with you?
00:56:45Moran dead, Big Jim in jail, what more could we ask for?
00:56:48I want him as bad as you do, but we don't have anything.
00:56:51Hell, we don't even have a body.
00:56:54Something's not right here, though.
00:56:56Damn thing's too sloppy.
00:56:58We got enough to go after him.
00:57:00Let's bring him in, press him.
00:57:01Maybe we'll get something out of him.
00:57:03Dr. Hill, you're right.
00:57:11I'm mourning him!
00:57:14So you admit you were at Moran's?
00:57:16What, is that a crime?
00:57:18I'll ask the questions.
00:57:21What were you doing there?
00:57:23Well, let's see, I ordered the revolving door steak.
00:57:26Now, that was a crime.
00:57:28Are you going to tell me why you did it?
00:57:30I'm not sure myself, but I'll tell you what, I'll never do it again.
00:57:34Will you stop with this shit?
00:57:37I wish I could.
00:57:39Lorraine!
00:57:41That's enough.
00:57:44Look, why don't you go get us some coffee?
00:57:47Yeah, I'll take mine black.
00:57:49Fuck you.
00:57:53How'd you end up with a partner like her?
00:57:55You lost a bet, didn't you?
00:57:57Jim, this is serious.
00:57:59You're in a world of hurt here.
00:58:01What do you want from me?
00:58:03Just tell me what happened at Moran's.
00:58:05I went there for dinner, what's the big deal?
00:58:07Were you alone?
00:58:09No, my boys were with me.
00:58:11Anybody else?
00:58:13Well, it was Mick, but he just came along for the ride.
00:58:15McGrillow, the bartender, he's involved?
00:58:17Involved in what? We had dinner.
00:58:19We know something went down, we have witnesses.
00:58:21Fine, so things got hot.
00:58:23Joey pulled one of his stunts and I ducked him.
00:58:25I heard it was a little bit more than that.
00:58:27What is the problem?
00:58:29The problem is you threatened his life.
00:58:31It was just a threat.
00:58:33You're sure?
00:58:35Look, could you do me a favor?
00:58:37Stop fucking around and get to the point.
00:58:39You didn't drag me down here to talk about some punch.
00:58:41Okay, where's Joey?
00:58:43Do I look like his mother?
00:58:45Okay, look, let me spell this out for you.
00:58:47Late last night, somebody breaks into Joey's office.
00:58:49I got blood all over the place.
00:58:51Forensics tells me it's Joey's.
00:58:53I got a bullet with Joey's blood on it.
00:58:55Forensics tells me Joey got shot,
00:58:57but I got a problem.
00:58:59I can't find Joey.
00:59:01That's where you come in.
00:59:03I got you and your boys at the scene of the crime.
00:59:05I got witnesses that will attest to the fact
00:59:07that you threatened his life.
00:59:09So where's Joey?
00:59:11You think I killed him.
00:59:13Did you?
00:59:15Are you going to charge me
00:59:17because if you are, I want my lawyer?
00:59:19No.
00:59:21No, not yet.
00:59:23If I get something solid on you,
00:59:25you're going to wish for the rest of your life
00:59:27you would have helped us now.
00:59:29Yeah, I know I didn't do it.
00:59:31We'll see about that.
00:59:33Hey, look, are you through with me?
00:59:35Can I go?
00:59:37You'll be free to go when I finish up the paperwork.
00:59:39If I were you,
00:59:41I'd get comfortable.
00:59:45Ben!
00:59:47Ben!
00:59:49You get anything out of him?
00:59:51Just some more questions.
00:59:53Don't tell me we've got to let him go, do we?
00:59:55We have to. We don't have anything on him.
00:59:57I just want to bust him so bad I can taste it.
00:59:59I know, me too.
01:00:01But for now, we make him sweat.
01:00:17Black, right?
01:00:19You've been here a while.
01:00:21Thought you might want some coffee.
01:00:23I thought I was getting out of here.
01:00:25It'll be just a little while longer.
01:00:27You're no red tape.
01:00:29Look, if you're going to charge me...
01:00:31Hey, relax, Jim.
01:00:33That's not why I'm here.
01:00:37Why don't you take a seat?
01:00:39Come on.
01:00:41Fine.
01:00:43What do you want?
01:00:45Well, I just had a little time.
01:00:47Thought I'd come by
01:00:49and keep you company while you waited.
01:00:51Friendly face, so to speak.
01:00:53Friendly face.
01:00:55We're going to play that game.
01:00:57What do you want to know?
01:00:59Ooh.
01:01:01A little testy, are we?
01:01:03You know, it could be worse.
01:01:05At least this time,
01:01:07there's no evidence lying around.
01:01:09Like, say, an apple?
01:01:11What the hell are you talking about?
01:01:13The fruit stand.
01:01:15Don't you remember?
01:01:19Yeah, that's right.
01:01:21That was a long time ago.
01:01:25How did you know about that?
01:01:27Well, let's just say I do.
01:01:31Hey, how's Club Cartoni's coming along?
01:01:33You going to be ready
01:01:35for the grand opening?
01:01:37Yeah.
01:01:39You going to be ready
01:01:41for the grand opening tomorrow night?
01:01:43I don't even know if it's going to happen, no.
01:01:45Yeah.
01:01:47It's a bitch going straight at it.
01:01:49You're damn right it is.
01:01:51Since I've tried opening this club,
01:01:53I've had more shit thrown at me
01:01:55than I've had my entire life.
01:01:57Yeah, I know what you mean.
01:01:59Been there, done that.
01:02:01You know what?
01:02:03I'm actually just thinking about saying,
01:02:05fuck the club and going back to what I do best.
01:02:07What, and let Joey win again?
01:02:09He always seems to anyways.
01:02:11He didn't win the other night.
01:02:17Look,
01:02:19I'm a friend.
01:02:21I just came by to tell you
01:02:23that everything is going to be okay.
01:02:29I got to go.
01:02:37I got to go.
01:03:01We'll get him tonight.
01:03:07I don't know yet.
01:03:09I just don't know if it's worth it.
01:03:11Look, I'll see you later, okay?
01:03:13All right, well, whatever you decide,
01:03:15I'm behind you.
01:03:17Thanks for the ride.
01:03:19Bye.
01:03:35Of course it's worth it.
01:03:37Why do you think
01:03:39we've all been busting our asses?
01:03:41You think you're the only one with dreams, pal?
01:03:43I don't think that.
01:03:45That's not what I'm saying.
01:03:47There are a lot of disappointed people,
01:03:49including me.
01:03:51This is a chance for us all to get out.
01:03:53Don't you think I know that?
01:03:55No.
01:03:57No, I don't think you do,
01:03:59because if you did,
01:04:01you'd be down at Cartoni's right now
01:04:03getting it ready to open along with everybody else.
01:04:05Do you realize how much shit has been thrown at us
01:04:07since I started this harebrained idea?
01:04:09First, it's not a harebrained idea.
01:04:11It's a good idea.
01:04:13And second,
01:04:15all that shit thrown at us, that's nothing new.
01:04:17Why is it bothering you now?
01:04:19I don't know!
01:04:23Look, Phoebe,
01:04:25I just need time to think.
01:04:27Well, don't take too long, Jim.
01:04:29Remember, we open tonight.
01:04:31Just make sure it's what you really want.
01:04:45Okay.
01:05:05Missing? What do you mean, missing?
01:05:07They can't find a body.
01:05:09Nobody knows where he is. I mean, missing.
01:05:11That's a good thing. That guy was an asshole.
01:05:14Okay, why are you guys sitting around?
01:05:16You got a club to open.
01:05:18I knew you'd be here.
01:05:20Good thing you're here. I thought I'd have to open this place by myself.
01:05:22Hey, relax. The boys were here.
01:05:24They didn't take any care of you. Jim, I'm sorry.
01:05:26I didn't mean to cause any trouble.
01:05:28Whoa, whoa, whoa. Aren't you singing tonight?
01:05:30Oh, yeah.
01:05:32What are you standing here for? Go on. Go get changed.
01:05:36Nick, I gotta tell you.
01:05:38The place looks great.
01:05:40What's the house look like tonight?
01:05:43Are you kidding? Nope.
01:05:45I got a good feeling about this.
01:05:47Let's kick some ass, huh?
01:05:54Shit.
01:05:56What? What's wrong?
01:05:58I said no mustard. You think they could get that right?
01:06:00Hey, you got my fries?
01:06:02Yeah. Thanks.
01:06:04Why are we waiting?
01:06:06Big Jim's inside. Let's go in and get him.
01:06:08Hey, I'm not going in there now.
01:06:10There's too many witnesses.
01:06:12Besides, I want a clear shot.
01:06:16Look at this.
01:06:22Time to have fun.
01:06:24What's happening tonight?
01:06:26You think they're gonna get away with this?
01:06:28Ain't gonna happen.
01:06:30Where are they?
01:06:32Club car, Tony.
01:06:34Make sure everyone is ready.
01:06:36Angel,
01:06:38don't kill nobody
01:06:40until I get there.
01:06:42I want a meter for this one.
01:06:44You got it.
01:06:46Car check.
01:07:08Hi.
01:07:10What's your name?
01:07:12My name is...
01:07:14Nice to meet you.
01:07:20You guys have a good time.
01:07:22Thanks for coming out tonight.
01:07:24Let us know if we can do anything for you.
01:07:26Alright?
01:07:30I'll have a steak as well.
01:07:34I'll take a full towel.
01:07:38Hey, look.
01:07:40That's not him.
01:07:50Big Jim, come on!
01:07:52There he is.
01:07:58Let's get him.
01:08:08Let's go.
01:08:24Have you seen Big Jim?
01:08:26No.
01:08:28Why, is there a problem?
01:08:30I can't find him.
01:08:32I'm supposed to introduce him to the next act.
01:08:34I don't know.
01:08:36Let's go.
01:09:06February 14th, 1929.
01:09:08Valentine's Day.
01:09:10It was bitterly cold that morning
01:09:12when the North Side Gang
01:09:14began to arrive.
01:09:16They were all dressed up
01:09:18and ready to go.
01:09:20They were all dressed up
01:09:22and ready to go.
01:09:24They were all dressed up
01:09:26and ready to go.
01:09:28They were all dressed up
01:09:30and ready to go.
01:09:32They were all dressed up
01:09:34and ready to go.
01:09:36The North Side Gang
01:09:38began to arrive.
01:09:40Let's make sure we don't miss.
01:10:04Like I said,
01:10:06I never thought it would end up like this.
01:10:16You guys fucked up.
01:10:26So, you got a hit on Big Jim.
01:10:34It ain't gonna happen.
01:10:46It ain't gonna happen.
01:10:54Ladies and gentlemen,
01:10:56the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
01:10:58Come on, guys.
01:11:00Take a bow.
01:11:14You all right?
01:11:16Where's Jack?
01:11:18He's been gone a long time.
01:11:20He's with South Side. He'll be fine.
01:11:22I sure hope so.
01:11:24You know what?
01:11:26I have a feeling you'll be seeing Jack
01:11:28real soon.
01:11:31Surprise.
01:11:33Jack.
01:11:36I love you.
01:11:38Jack.
01:11:44Partners?
01:11:46Partners.
01:12:00I guess I'll talk to him.
01:12:14Make sure no one bothers us.
01:12:16You got it, boss.
01:12:20Here, have a seat.
01:12:24Where?
01:12:27Where?
01:12:42You open up a nightclub
01:12:44and you don't invite me?
01:12:46I'm insulted.
01:12:48That was never my intention.
01:12:50But you did it.
01:12:52I didn't mean any disrespect.
01:12:54Did you find out from others?
01:12:56I wanted to make sure this place was a go before I did.
01:12:59You could have come to me.
01:13:01I would have helped you out.
01:13:03I wasn't looking for your help.
01:13:05Opening this club was help enough.
01:13:07I thought it was a way of getting out of the business.
01:13:10You know, going straight.
01:13:12Getting out of the business? Going straight?
01:13:14That's what this is all about?
01:13:16When were you gonna come to me?
01:13:18I tried telling you about getting out back at your office.
01:13:20Well, you didn't tell me good enough.
01:13:22You know Moran wanted you out of the business too?
01:13:24Permanently?
01:13:32No.
01:13:34It doesn't surprise me, though.
01:13:36Oh, yeah. He wanted you dead.
01:13:38He sent a couple of his goons over to get you.
01:13:41But don't worry, we took care of it.
01:13:43And your boys helped.
01:13:45I didn't know anything about this.
01:13:47Jimmy.
01:13:49Your boys didn't want to bother you.
01:13:51You're busy. You got a lot on your plate.
01:13:53So you came to me and told me everything.
01:13:56Everything?
01:13:58Yeah. It's nice to know some people still got some respect for me.
01:14:02Jimmy.
01:14:04Tell me. How's it feel going straight?
01:14:09Feels good. Normal, I guess.
01:14:15I know I should have come to you first, and I apologize.
01:14:18I just didn't want to end up like Anthony Capelli.
01:14:21Apology accepted.
01:14:23But what do you know about Anthony Capelli?
01:14:26He was one of us, back in the 30s.
01:14:29He tried getting out too, and they killed him for it.
01:14:32And for that, I've always considered him one of my heroes.
01:14:38You think I was going to have you killed for opening a restaurant?
01:14:41Not a restaurant. For wanting to get out.
01:14:44That was the 30s.
01:14:46We don't do that anymore.
01:14:48I mean, we don't advertise, you know, everybody be walking.
01:14:54You know...
01:14:56Anthony Capelli was my hero, too.
01:15:00You know about Anthony Capelli?
01:15:03Oh, yeah. He was my grandfather.
01:15:06I'm Vincent Capelli.
01:15:08And I'm going to give it a chance that he never had.
01:15:11You want to? You want to go straight?
01:15:13You want to go straight?
01:15:15You got my blessing.
01:15:17He would have wanted that.
01:15:21Come here.
01:15:26This is for your grand opening.
01:15:28Make sure you put it somewhere special.
01:15:34Your last name is Capelli?
01:15:37I'll tell nobody.
01:15:39I like being called the boss.
01:16:06With the boss's blessing, Club Cartonis became one of the most successful clubs in the city of Chicago.
01:16:12And best of all, I did it legit.
01:16:17Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for coming to Club Cartonis.
01:16:21And I bid you all a very good night.
01:16:36As you can see, Philly and Jack worked out all their differences.
01:16:40And, you guessed it, six months later, they tied the knot.
01:16:51Southside found a way of combining his love of shooting and skiing.
01:16:55He is currently training for the biathlon in the up-and-coming Winter Olympics.
01:17:07Inspired by the success of Club Cartonis, Mick helped Shakespeare open his own restaurant.
01:17:15They even launched their own line of cereal.
01:17:21What can I say? I guess the old adage is true.
01:17:25Follow your heart, no matter the cost.
01:17:28And your dreams will come true.
01:17:37Motherfucker! Motherfucker! God damn it!
01:17:42Fucking Big Jim, you prick!
01:17:45Think you can fucking squeal on me to the boss? Huh?
01:17:49You think I'm just gonna roll over and fucking take that?
01:17:51I don't fucking think so, you son of a bitch!
01:17:54Fuck you, fuck the boss.
01:17:56I got names.
01:17:58I'm taking all you motherfuckers down with me.
01:18:01You son of a...
01:18:04Oh, I'll be back. I'll be back, and when I do...
01:18:08Oh, yeah. I almost forgot.
01:18:11God damn it!
01:18:14Fuck!
01:18:16They never did find out what happened to Joey Moran.
01:18:20Nobody was ever found, and some say he's still alive.
01:18:24If he is still alive, knowing Joey, I'll see him again.
01:18:55Boo!
01:18:59Come on, Joey, is it time yet?
01:19:01Just shut it.
01:19:03It's Enrique now.
01:19:24Ha ha ha ha ha!
01:20:25We stand our ground when darkness closes in
01:20:30To assure us when we cannot find our way
01:20:37We must be patient until we see the light
01:20:43To be sure we can be safe beyond today
01:20:49With our backs against the wall
01:20:52And we're forced to make a choice
01:20:55To defend the things we don't love
01:20:58With a strong and steady voice
01:21:02If the desires of the heart
01:21:07Is the light that burns within you
01:21:11Near a flame that cannot be denied
01:21:18Oh, the desires of the heart
01:21:24The reflection of your senses
01:21:27The passion without fences
01:21:30The way to find the heaven here on earth
01:21:35The desires of the heart
01:21:40Turn your back on all you know
01:21:43Walk away
01:21:45And to reach beyond your passion for your dreams
01:21:51To ignore a higher vision
01:21:54To attain your goal
01:21:57To forsake your past
01:22:00And regain your soul
01:22:05The desires of the heart
01:22:10Is the light that burns within you
01:22:13Near a flame that cannot be denied
01:22:19Oh, the desires of the heart
01:22:25The reflection of your senses
01:22:29The passion without fences
01:22:32The way to find the heaven here on earth
01:22:37The desires of the heart
01:22:44The desires of the heart
