00:01:49 Happy Thanksgiving!
00:01:54 Come here!
00:01:59 - Yeah!
00:02:00 Toss me a bird, Bumpy!
00:02:02 Bumpy!
00:02:05 - Yeah!
00:02:07 There you go, darling.
00:02:10 Over here! Over here!
00:02:15 Frank! Come on!
00:02:18 Come here.
00:02:32 This is the problem.
00:02:37 It's gotten so big,
00:02:41 The grocery store
00:02:45 The candy store is a McDonald's.
00:02:50 And this place,
00:02:54 Where's the pride of ownership, huh?
00:02:58 Where's the personal service?
00:03:07 You see what I mean? Shit.
00:03:12 I mean, what right do they have,
00:03:17 pushing out all the middlemen,
00:03:20 buying direct from the manufacturer?
00:03:25 Sony this, Toshiba that.
00:03:29 All them Chinks
00:03:40 That's the way it is now.
00:03:45 You all right?
00:03:47 You can't find the heart of anything
00:03:52 to stick the knife.
00:03:56 Hey!
00:03:58 Anybody here?
00:04:00 Can I help you?
00:04:01 Call an ambulance.
00:04:03 Forget it, Frank.
00:04:06 There's no one in charge.
00:04:13 Call an ambulance!
00:04:16 Some say
00:04:19 according to the eulogies, a giving man,
00:04:22 No one chose to use in their remembrances
00:04:24 the word most often associated with
00:04:28 whose passing has brought a who's who
00:04:32 Lucchese mob boss Dominic Cattano,
00:04:36 Nicky! Nicky!
00:04:37 From the political arena,
00:04:39 the Governor has come down,
00:04:41 and Chief of Police and Commissioner,
00:04:46 Bumpy Johnson,
00:04:49 was a folk hero among
00:04:53 Regarded by some
00:04:55 by others as a ruthless criminal:::
00:04:57 I don't understand, you know.
00:04:59 I would've thought that Bumpy would
00:05:03 - You want something?
00:05:05 I want chicken wings at my funeral.
00:05:07 All right, Nicky Barnes.
00:05:10 He didn't know what hit him,
00:05:11 I just kept popping him
00:05:16 Mmm.
00:05:20 I don't have a lighter. You have a light?
00:05:26 Oh.
00:05:33 Okay?
00:05:35 That's very good.
00:05:37 Hey, Frank.
00:05:41 Go get me a light while you're at it.
00:05:45 Appreciate it.
00:05:47 Don Cattano.
00:05:49 Hey, how you doing, Rossi?
00:05:51 Good.
00:05:52 Would you like a drink, sir?
00:05:54 Give him a scotch on the rocks.
00:06:02 Come on. Come on.
00:06:13 I know you're hurting, Frank.
00:06:16 So am I.
00:06:17 I'm all right.
00:06:19 - You gonna be all right?
00:06:21 I'm sure Bumpy didn't say
00:06:24 that if anything ever happened to him,
00:06:26 that I should make sure
00:06:31 I appreciate that.
00:06:33 You know, half the people in this room
00:06:37 They think I'm gonna forget to collect,
00:06:40 Well, that's the spirit. Go get 'em.
00:06:46 Mr Roberts,
00:06:49 Mr Roberts,
00:06:50 give us US v: Mead,
00:06:55 and what it means to us today.
00:06:57 Class, you'll be critiquing Mr Roberts,
00:07:04 I hate hearing my name called,
00:07:07 It means I gotta get up in front of the class,
00:07:10 and I know every one of those people there,
00:07:14 The number one fear of people,
00:07:18 I get physically ill, I wanna throw up.
00:07:19 And that's what you wanna do for a living.
00:07:21 No, I don't wanna be like that, man,
00:07:24 So, should I do this?
00:07:25 No, he'll take it from me, he knows me.
00:07:27 - From high school?
00:07:30 He doesn't take it, just throw it in.
00:07:32 - Throw it in? All right.
00:07:36 What's up, Susie?
00:07:37 - How you doing, baby?
00:07:40 All right. Ready?
00:07:58 Hey! That's his head!
00:08:07 You're supposed to be my friend,
00:08:12 CAMPIZl: I swear to God, Richie,
00:08:14 I would never slam a door
00:08:18 You bit my fucking hand.
00:08:19 What are you doing
00:08:21 We're on loan to County.
00:08:23 - How's that working out for you?
00:08:25 Hey, I'm sorry. Consider me served.
00:08:30 Assault on a police officer? I don't think so.
00:08:33 Hey, for old times' sake. What can we do?
00:08:36 What do you get for assault
00:08:39 - Five years minimum.
00:08:41 Guys, come on. No, guys.
00:08:45 Who do you got?
00:08:47 You want Big Al's bookie? You want
00:09:00 CAMPIZl: Stop, stop, stop.
00:09:02 There he is.
00:09:07 That's him. That's the bookie.
00:09:09 All right, Carlo, get lost.
00:09:11 - Right here?
00:09:12 CAMPIZl: This is... I'd rather not.
00:09:16 Take it ease.
00:09:38 Want to stay with him or the car?
00:09:40 Let's see who comes for the car.
00:09:57 Think he made us?
00:09:59 You called in the warrants, right?
00:10:01 I just called, man.
00:10:03 I called and walked back here
00:10:09 I saw him with the slips, Jay.
00:10:11 You saw policy slips? You saw
00:10:15 Yes, I do and so do you.
00:10:18 What's the rush, Richie?
00:10:21 - I got night school, all right?
00:10:32 Fuck this. Come on.
00:10:34 Yeah, I'm sure. Let's go.
00:11:29 Fuck.
00:11:32 - Jay.
00:11:40 Fuck.
00:11:46 WBZ, honey bunch,
00:11:48 It's the groovy sound
00:11:50 Dig, honey, it's coming up time for news:
00:11:53 Jumping on the ceiling,
00:11:55 Stick around, the Jace-man's got 10:
00:12:05 It's not just a couple of bucks, all right?
00:12:07 It's the same thing in principle.
00:12:10 Oh, are we talking principles?
00:12:11 Richie, a cop who turns
00:12:15 He turns in cops who take money.
00:12:19 Yeah, well, then we're fucked both ways.
00:12:20 Not if we keep it. Only if we don't,
00:12:23 But not if we keep it.
00:12:26 God damn it, man! Did we ask for this?
00:12:28 Did we put a gun to someone's head
00:12:31 Cops kill cops they can't trust.
00:12:39 We can't turn it in, man.
00:12:50 Can you believe that?
00:13:01 How much is it?
00:13:03 $987,000.
00:13:07 Well, what happened to the rest of it?
00:13:12 What the hell are you doing
00:13:15 Are you nuts?
00:13:17 Get it back in the bags, seal them up
00:13:31 You fucking Boy Scout.
00:13:57 What? What?
00:14:24 Detective Trupo, sign here.
00:14:30 You guys ready to make
00:14:32 Always.
00:14:34 Fucking A.
00:14:37 Oh, look at this.
00:14:39 There you go.
00:14:40 All right, look at this.
00:14:43 There's three more boats.
00:14:53 Hey, don't lose any of that shit.
00:14:55 I know.
00:15:01 Hey! Just enough for the reagent test.
00:15:05 A little less.
00:15:12 ROSSl: This is the French Connection dope:
00:15:15 Kilos of the same dope
00:15:19 The cops seize it, arrest everyone,
00:15:21 then they start taking it out
00:15:24 whacking it down to nothing
00:15:27 They basically control the market with it:
00:15:30 Mr Rossi, I have a surprise for you.
00:15:33 ROSSl: They've been doing it for years now:
00:15:36 What do you think?
00:15:37 What the fuck is happening
00:15:39 Those fucking crooks.
00:15:41 Yeah. Sad about Bumpy.
00:15:46 Things are never gonna
00:15:48 You walk down the street, nobody bothers
00:15:53 Half a key.
00:15:55 How is your day now?
00:15:58 It's chaos. Every gorilla for hisself.
00:16:03 Motherfucker!
00:16:07 Who can live like that?
00:16:11 That would never happen with Italians.
00:16:13 More important than any one man's life,
00:16:25 Frank.
00:16:27 Hey. Come on in, Claude. Sit down.
00:16:35 How y'all doing, huh?
00:16:37 So, you see Nate over there? Yeah?
00:16:39 Yeah, all the time.
00:16:40 - Nate is everywhere. He's good.
00:16:42 - He's still over there?
00:16:44 - Okay. Whereabouts, Saigon?
00:16:47 - Bangkok?
00:16:54 Come on.
00:17:22 On the house, for our boys in uniform.
00:17:25 Thank you, sugar. That's very kind.
00:17:28 Thank Frank.
00:17:30 Thanks, Frank.
00:17:33 Just relax.
00:17:35 You have to boot this shit a couple of times.
00:17:39 The cops keep cutting it, selling the shit.
00:17:45 I don't want to say anything,
00:17:48 but that shit in Nam is way,
00:17:52 way heavy.
00:18:20 Did you ain't seen the jar, Frank?
00:18:23 I think you walked right past it.
00:18:26 The money jar, Frank.
00:18:30 Hmm?
00:18:34 Look at this nigger right here.
00:18:36 Bumpy don't own 116th no more.
00:18:39 Bumpy don't own
00:18:41 I'm the landlord and the lease is 20%.
00:18:45 Look, don't sell dope then, Frank.
00:18:48 You need a fucking job, Frank?
00:18:52 Well, you can come work for me.
00:18:53 Okay? You can drive me around, huh?
00:18:56 Huh? "Yes, sir", "No, sir", "Right away, sir",
00:19:04 Twenty percent.
00:19:12 Twenty percent is my profit, Tango.
00:19:17 If I give you that, then what do I got left?
00:19:19 Twenty percent puts me out of business,
00:19:21 and every somebody
00:19:23 There's legitimate ways of doing things,
00:19:26 Not even Bumpy took 20%.
00:19:28 Bumpy's fucking dead.
00:19:34 My man.
00:19:36 Twenty percent?
00:19:46 Twenty percent.
00:19:47 Doc, let's go.
00:20:06 Out: Good job: Sit:
00:20:11 A leader, like a shepherd,
00:20:15 he sends his fastest nimble sheep,
00:20:18 And the others will follow.
00:20:20 While the shepherd,
00:20:23 Here, boy! Here we go. Right here.
00:20:27 Now he's got the stick, and the cane,
00:20:32 If he has to.
00:20:34 But most times he doesn't have to.
00:20:36 He moves the whole herd quietly.
00:20:43 What right do they have
00:20:48 The middleman. Buying direct.
00:20:52 Putting Americans out of work.
00:20:56 That's the way it is now, Frank.
00:21:00 That's the way it is.
00:21:19 The drug problem
00:21:23 At this point, it is estimated that one third
00:21:26 with opium and heroin:
00:21:31 The authorities say
00:21:32 large quantities of marijuana,
00:21:36 Every person and every vehicle
00:21:39 is subject to a thorough shakedown:
00:21:41 Soldiers have access to
00:21:45 in Bangkok, Saigon and other areas
00:21:49 Officials say the easy availability,
00:21:53 and high purity of heroin
00:21:57 is leading to an epidemic
00:22:05 - Operator:
00:22:07 - What city?
00:22:09 - You know the country code?
00:22:12 - For the first three minutes, it'll be:::
00:22:21 Hello?
00:22:23 Soul Brothers: Hey, can I help you?
00:22:24 Nate.
00:22:26 - Do I know you?
00:22:28 - Who?
00:22:35 Go on, get yourself a new suit.
00:23:13 Look, I'm sorry.
00:23:15 Oh, please, Richie.
00:23:17 It couldn't be avoided.
00:23:20 We're moving.
00:23:22 What? Where?
00:23:26 The St Regis. What do you care?
00:23:30 To my sister's.
00:23:32 - Your sister's? In Vegas?
00:23:34 You are not moving to Las Vegas.
00:23:38 What am I supposed to do with him,
00:23:43 Hey, guys! Be cool.
00:23:47 Laurie, Las Vegas is not
00:23:51 Like this is a good environment?
00:23:54 When am I supposed to see my boy?
00:23:56 This weekend. Last weekend.
00:24:00 God damn it.
00:24:01 Hey! I asked you nice to shut up, right?
00:24:04 Now I'm gonna have to kill you.
00:24:05 I swear I will pull out my gun
00:24:09 Now stop what you're doing
00:24:11 Calm down, man. Okay, be cool.
00:24:16 Fucking crazy, man.
00:24:19 You don't have a gun.
00:24:23 You sure?
00:24:33 You are crazy, Richie.
00:24:39 You don't have room for us.
00:24:43 I'll see you in court.
00:24:46 Come on, Michael.
00:24:48 Say bye to your dad.
00:24:51 - Get over here.
00:24:55 I'll see you next week, all right?
00:24:59 Let's get you an ice cream.
00:25:26 You have 10 minutes remaining.
00:26:36 Shake it, baby.
00:26:43 Oh, come on, girl. Don't tell me $5
00:26:46 Can you dig that it costs money
00:26:49 Oh, come on, girl.
00:27:24 How much you want, Frank?
00:27:27 Tell him I want 100 keys.
00:27:31 Frank, ain't nobody I know
00:27:34 You're gonna have to
00:27:36 and it's not gonna be 100% pure.
00:27:38 I don't want that.
00:27:40 I know what you don't want, Frank,
00:27:42 but look, what you're gonna need is to get
00:27:47 Cholon, Saigon.
00:27:49 I understand that,
00:27:52 It'll be already chopped up.
00:27:54 I wanna go to the source.
00:27:56 - So, you're gonna go get it yourself?
00:27:59 Huh? I came this far.
00:28:02 You're gonna go
00:28:03 I'm in the jungle. Look around.
00:28:05 They're eating these roaches
00:28:07 Nigga, I'm talking about snakes, all right?
00:28:09 I'm talking about tigers,
00:28:11 I'm talking about mosquitoes
00:28:15 You wanna go into the jungle?
00:28:17 We're going.
00:28:20 - Fuck it. Let's go.
00:28:22 Why not? Let's go.
00:29:06 Hey, Frank.
00:29:08 This whole spot's locked down
00:29:13 General Chiang Kai-shek's defeated army.
00:29:54 How would you get it into the States?
00:29:56 You ain't got to worry about that.
00:29:58 Who do you work for in there?
00:30:00 You ain't got to worry about that, either.
00:30:02 Who are you, really?
00:30:05 Frank Lucas,
00:30:07 I mean, who you represent?
00:30:09 Me.
00:30:12 You think you're going
00:30:16 and you don't work for anyone?
00:30:20 That's right.
00:30:28 After this first purchase,
00:30:34 or their people in the States, then what?
00:30:40 Then there will be more,
00:30:44 And if it's all the same to you,
00:30:45 I don't wanna have to drag my ass up here
00:30:48 Of course not.
00:30:53 My man.
00:30:55 - Soul brother, huh?
00:31:39 Fifty grand. It's gonna cover them
00:31:44 Give them a hundred.
00:31:47 Fifty is gonna cover it, Frank.
00:31:49 Give them a hundred,
00:31:52 And look,
00:31:54 that's all I got.
00:32:02 Hey, listen, cousin or no cousin,
00:32:06 I ain't got no time
00:32:09 I'll let you know when it's in the air.
00:32:12 My man.
00:32:27 Fuck.
00:32:37 Richie?
00:32:38 This fucking guy made me:
00:32:40 I don't know how he did, but he did.
00:32:42 He went for his gun:
00:32:44 I had to do it, man.
00:32:45 There's 100 people
00:32:47 You gotta help me. You gotta do something.
00:32:50 Baby.
00:32:51 Where are you, Jay?
00:32:54 That's the problem.
00:32:59 Dispatch, I got a 10-13. I got a 10-13.

00:33:14 Detective Richie Roberts.
00:33:15 That's a negative: I got no units in that area:
00:33:18 Bullshit.
00:33:20 Please put the call out again.
00:33:22 Detective Roberts,
00:33:25 - Fuck you.
00:33:37 I didn't mention no cops.
00:33:39 You know what I'm saying?

00:33:56 Hey, hey, be cool. Be cool, all right?
00:34:00 I'll find out what's going on in here.
00:34:11 Richie.
00:34:18 Open the door!
00:34:19 Open the motherfucking door!
00:34:21 Where's your backup?
00:34:22 You motherfucking cracker!
00:34:24 You got no backup? Why is that?
00:34:26 You gotta come
00:34:29 Bandage his neck.
00:34:31 Richie, he's dead.
00:34:32 I know he's fucking dead, right.
00:34:34 Bandage his neck, clean up his head,
00:34:35 prop him up on the gurney
00:34:38 Open this fucking door!
00:34:39 All right? Let's go.
00:34:40 Fuck.
00:34:45 All right, clean him up.
00:34:47 Okay. Where's the solution?
00:34:52 Hey.
00:34:55 God damn it, open this fucking door!
00:34:58 - Give me your gun.
00:34:59 Give me your gun.
00:35:01 Get your punk ass out here, man!
00:35:04 - You have your badge?
00:35:06 I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch!
00:35:08 - You guys ready?
00:35:09 Okay. Just keep moving forward.
00:35:12 - You all right?
00:35:15 It's okay! It's okay!
00:35:18 We're taking him to the hospital.
00:35:19 Everybody, step back! Step back!
00:35:23 He's all right.
00:35:25 He's okay. We're taking care of him.
00:35:27 Step back. Step back.
00:35:31 Everything's fine. Just stand back.
00:35:34 He's all right.
00:35:35 He's alive.
00:35:37 What happened inside?
00:35:39 We're taking him to the hospital.
00:35:50 Thanks, man.
00:35:52 Fuck.
00:35:54 That asshole pulled a piece on me, man.
00:35:57 He pulls a piece on a cop?
00:35:59 I had to do it, man. Kill or be killed.
00:36:02 Fucking crazy world, right?
00:36:07 What the fuck were you
00:36:09 Investigating stuff, man, you know,
00:36:12 just like you taught me. Checking on guys,
00:36:16 following things up,
00:36:19 That guy was a dealer.
00:36:24 That guy didn't pull a gun on a cop, Jay.
00:36:27 That guy pulled a gun on a junkie,
00:36:31 What the fuck you say?
00:36:34 What the fuck, man?
00:36:36 - What the fuck is that?
00:36:39 I earned this shit. That's mine!
00:36:41 - I earned it doing good cop work!
00:36:43 - What the fuck is that?
00:36:44 - You murdered a guy!
00:36:46 You murdered a guy!
00:36:49 You murdered him, you robbed his money,
00:36:52 That makes me an accessory
00:36:54 I'll tell you the facts, man. Just write
00:36:58 and then that's the way it is,
00:37:03 I can't do that.
00:37:06 I'm a leper because I listened to you
00:37:10 No one will work with me after that.
00:37:12 I can get off this shit, Richie. That's easy.
00:37:17 Just write the report between us,
00:37:23 I can't do that.
00:37:27 Hey!
00:37:30 Stop! Stop!
00:37:32 Fuck it.
00:38:12 Open the trunk.
00:38:28 Peace now! Peace now! Peace now!
00:38:32 LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?
00:38:36 Get out, get out, get out of Vietnam!
00:38:39 Get out, get out, get out of Vietnam!
00:38:42 :: As loud as we can
00:38:45 and that the best way
00:38:49 to simply pack up
00:38:57 How we looking?
00:39:02 Typically, what I see is 25% to 45% pure.
00:39:05 I mean, there's no adulterants,
00:39:09 It's 100%.
00:39:16 May I?
00:39:17 Take it with you.
00:39:20 Thank you, Frank.
00:41:18 I'll take it.
00:41:23 Cash.
00:41:25 Fabulous.
00:41:31 I'm not talking about your proclivities,
00:41:36 I'm talking about being a cop.
00:41:38 You're talking about taking money?
00:41:40 I don't do that. It's not my thing.
00:41:42 What about your friends
00:41:43 - Do you still hang out with them?
00:41:46 Play baseball on the weekends.
00:41:47 Wise guys? That's gonna look good.
00:41:50 Guys I went to high school with. So what?
00:41:52 What about Joseph Sodano?
00:41:56 What about him?
00:41:57 Richie, I'm just trying
00:42:00 If they're not true, tell me.
00:42:01 Yeah, he's one of them.
00:42:03 - Is he also your son's godfather?
00:42:05 He's definitely fucking her.
00:42:07 Do you really care about this?
00:42:16 You know, there's an interview room
00:42:19 - That's what I thought.
00:42:21 All rise.
00:42:29 Oh, God, Richie.
00:42:43 Don't answer it!
00:42:50 Yeah?
00:43:05 - Richie Roberts.
00:43:10 Hey. Richie Roberts.
00:43:11 Hi. Detective Norman Reily.
00:43:13 - Hey, Norm. How are you?
00:43:15 - So, is that him?
00:43:25 Picked a nice night to come out, huh?
00:43:29 It's been like this.
00:43:31 I'm lucky if I get home by midnight.
00:43:40 Something I gotta sign?
00:43:42 Yeah. It's right here.
00:43:44 I'm taking this with me.
00:43:47 All right.
00:43:50 America's public enemy number one
00:43:57 In order to fight and defeat this enemy,
00:43:59 it is necessary to wage a new,
00:44:04 Federal authorities
00:44:07 to establish special narcotics bureaus
00:44:10 in Washington, New York,
00:44:13 A detective without
00:44:16 really can't do much.
00:44:19 You know why I don't have it.
00:44:22 Doesn't matter. You did what you had to do.
00:44:25 Greatest city in the world!
00:44:29 Everybody's stealing, dealing.
00:44:34 Look at you.
00:44:37 Good news is,
00:44:41 The special narcotics bureau
00:44:46 They are sincere. I know this
00:44:49 And I want you to
00:44:52 If it's federal,
00:44:54 No, you answer to me,
00:44:55 me and the US Attorney, nobody else.
00:44:59 You never step foot
00:45:04 You work out of your own place,
00:45:06 guys that you know
00:45:32 Well, we got the lovely transit.
00:45:38 600-year-old mahogany doors.
00:45:43 Now, look at that. Can't you just feel it?
00:45:47 I think it's lovely.
00:45:50 Watch your step.
00:45:56 Look at these beautiful floors.
00:45:58 At least, I don't know, 200 years old.
00:46:02 Now this was one of my favourite rooms but
00:46:07 I even fixed it. I know it works.
00:46:13 Here it is.
00:46:22 You know, I used to be a really good
00:46:25 but then, I don't know why I forgot.
00:46:29 Life goes on. Well...
00:46:33 How long are you gonna be?
00:46:38 Oh, and do me a favour, please.
00:46:40 Those are beautiful, ornate glass doors,
00:46:52 Here we go, Jimmy. Come on.
00:46:53 Oh, yeah. Give it back.
00:47:00 Huey's.
00:47:01 Huey: What up, boy?
00:47:03 Yeah, who this?
00:47:04 Who you think it is, boy?
00:47:05 - Frank:
00:47:07 - Frank your brother, negro:
00:47:13 That's right.
00:47:14 Hey, Melvin! Melvin, where's Ma?
00:47:16 - What?
00:47:19 Hey, Ma!
00:47:20 Frank's on the phone!
00:47:23 - Say what?
00:47:25 Frank? Oh, my Lord!
00:47:27 Yeah, when?
00:47:29 Listen, I'm gonna call y'all back
00:47:31 at 6:00. I want you to get
00:47:33 Get Mama, get everybody.
00:47:34 - All right?
00:47:52 Hey, Frank!
00:47:53 What's happening, Frank?
00:47:55 - Hey, Frankie.
00:47:57 Get out the car.
00:48:01 Look at this, baby.
00:48:03 Oh, my Lord!
00:48:07 Oh, I'm telling you,
00:48:13 I wonder what
00:48:14 And whose house is that,
00:48:16 That is your house, Mama.
00:48:19 - Mine?
00:48:22 And who else?
00:48:25 Now, there, that's my room
00:48:35 Anybody want some more collard greens?
00:48:39 I wanna tell you how happy
00:48:43 and the grandchildren at the same time.
00:48:46 My heart's so happy.
00:48:48 - Enjoy yourselves.
00:48:50 I hope you got a job, boy,
00:48:53 That boy right there, he got a arm on him.
00:48:57 Oh, yeah?
00:48:58 Ain't that right?
00:48:59 Right on, Pop.
00:49:00 Well, we'll see after dinner.
00:49:03 No, no, you can't catch him, man.
00:49:05 I'm talking about... I'm talking about...
00:49:06 This guy throw harder than Gibson.
00:49:08 We're talking 95 miles an hour.
00:49:11 - Can you catch him?
00:49:13 He gonna catch the ground.
00:49:15 We might've played catch,
00:49:17 Since then, he ain't been able to keep up.
00:49:23 - This is your room.
00:49:26 Oh. Why, it's...
00:49:28 Will you look at this?
00:49:31 Oh!
00:49:33 It's beautiful. It's beautiful. It's just...
00:49:37 I...
00:49:44 How did you...
00:49:46 I had it made.
00:49:49 From memory.
00:49:51 You were five when they took it away on me.
00:49:52 - That's right.
00:49:54 How could I forget, Mama?
00:50:00 I'll just tell you it is perfect.
00:50:04 It's all perfect.
00:50:12 I can't tell you how much I love you.
00:50:14 I love you, too, Mama.
00:50:17 It's okay.
00:50:27 Both these guys,
00:50:31 and they're honest and they're fearless.
00:50:34 They're insane, Richie, like you.
00:50:37 Where are they?
00:50:41 That's Jones with the skinny white broad.
00:50:44 Best I ever seen on the street.
00:50:46 He knows dope, but he's together, all right?
00:50:50 He's a stand-up guy all round.
00:50:52 And that's Abruzzo
00:50:57 He loves a big ass, man.
00:51:00 He's a bulldog. He don't fuck around,
00:51:04 yeah, but you can trust
00:51:08 Listen, Richie. We work together.
00:51:24 When do we start?
00:51:29 The man I worked for,
00:51:30 he had one of the biggest companies
00:51:32 He ran it for more than 50 years.
00:51:35 Fifteen years, eight months and nine days,
00:51:39 I was with him every day. I worked for him,
00:51:40 I protected him,
00:51:45 Bumpy was rich,
00:51:47 He wasn't wealthy.
00:51:49 He didn't own his own company.
00:51:51 he just managed it.
00:51:53 The white man owned it, so they owned him.
00:51:56 - Nobody owns me, though.
00:51:57 - How you doing, babe?
00:51:59 That's 'cause I own my own company,
00:52:02 that's better than the competition,
00:52:05 at a price that's lower than the competition.
00:52:09 Well, what are we selling here, Frank?
00:52:26 How you doing, Red?
00:52:28 These are my brothers,
00:52:30 Everybody, this is Redtop.
00:52:31 - Hello.
00:52:33 And the ladies.
00:52:35 What wrong? Y'all niggas
00:52:39 Why are they all naked?
00:52:40 So they can't steal nothing.
00:52:42 Right.
00:52:44 The most important thing in business
00:52:50 family,
00:52:52 never forgetting where we came from.
00:52:55 Thank you, Charlene.
00:53:01 See, you are what you are in this world,
00:53:08 Either you're somebody,
00:53:11 or you're nobody. Be right back.
00:53:29 I need these fresh. 'Cause
00:53:32 - you know what it is.
00:53:33 - Don't y'all play that.
00:53:35 You won't have to come back.
00:53:37 What about you, Frank?
00:53:38 Where's my money?
00:53:41 You're supposed to be
00:53:42 Here's a jar right here. Twenty percent.
00:53:44 - You got the jar?
00:53:48 Get the fuck out of here...
00:53:50 What the fuck you gonna do, Frank?
00:53:53 You gonna shoot me in front of everybody?
00:54:00 Shit.
00:54:13 There you go. Twenty percent.
00:54:40 So, what was I saying?
00:54:51 Jones.
00:54:54 Jonesy.
00:54:57 That was nice, man.
00:55:00 - Just doing my melodious thing, baby.
00:55:10 This is the newly formed
00:55:14 Our mandate is to make major arrests.
00:55:19 We're looking for
00:55:22 Heroin, cocaine, amphetamines.
00:55:26 No powder under 40 kilograms.
00:55:27 Any less than that,
00:55:30 We gonna be handling the big shipments,
00:55:33 I heard a story about you.
00:55:35 That you found a million dollars
00:55:38 and gave that shit back. Is that true?
00:55:41 Yeah, I did.
00:55:48 So do I, you know?
00:55:50 I should be down in South Florida
00:55:53 You and me, both.
00:55:55 But you know, I didn't, so here I am,
00:55:58 and we'll be looking to land
00:56:28 - All right?
00:56:53 See that, Richie?
00:56:55 And this stuff is your everyday stuff.
00:56:58 But this Blue Magic, twice the potency.
00:57:01 I mean, it's the purest thing I ever seen
00:57:06 And that's for those white suburban kids
00:57:09 I paid 10 bucks for that.
00:57:11 And it's everywhere.
00:57:14 So, how is that possible?
00:57:16 Who can afford to sell
00:57:27 Hey, man. Frankie, baby, good to see you!
00:57:30 Everything's good?
00:57:31 Yeah, man, just got back from Europe,

00:57:48 Show us the cover.
00:57:49 You know what I'm saying, man?
00:57:50 Hey, Nicky, over here.
00:57:52 There you go.
00:57:55 Nicky!
00:57:58 Who is that? Look at you, my man.
00:58:10 All right.
00:58:11 Ladies and gentlemen,
00:58:12 the Brown Bomber! The champ!
00:58:15 Mr Joe Louis!
00:58:26 Who's that with Joe?
00:58:28 Miss Puerto Rico.
00:58:30 - Puerto Rico? Is she a beauty queen?
00:58:33 For real. The beauty queen.
00:58:59 - Welcome.
00:59:08 Can you all excuse us for a minute, please?
00:59:09 Yeah, sure, Frank.
00:59:10 Yes, sir.
00:59:13 Thank you.
00:59:18 What's going on, man?
00:59:20 - What you smiling about?
00:59:22 - What is this? Huh?
00:59:24 - What's what?

00:59:29 What's what, man?
00:59:31 Yeah, that! What you got on.
00:59:33 This is a very, very, very nice suit.
00:59:34 That's a very, very, very nice suit, huh?
00:59:36 - That's a clown suit. That's a costume...
00:59:38 ...with a big sign on it that says "Arrest Me."
00:59:41 You understand? You're too loud.
00:59:44 The loudest one in the room is
00:59:49 All right? What,
00:59:51 What's your problem with Nicky, man?
00:59:53 I ain't got no problem with Nicky.
00:59:55 - Yeah!
00:59:56 You want to be superfly?
00:59:59 Share a jail cell with him?
01:00:01 He wants to talk to you.
01:00:02 - Oh, so now you talking to him about me?
01:00:05 - About what? What is it about?
01:00:06 - Then what is it like?
01:00:08 - your name came up.

01:00:15 You know... Boy, you...
01:00:18 You know, if you wasn't my brother,
01:00:21 I'd blow your motherfucking brains out.
01:00:23 Come on, man. Don't be like that.
01:00:24 I'm taking you shopping this week.
01:00:25 - I went shopping.
01:00:27 See deep into you
01:00:30 And know what you're thinking now
01:00:36 And if I'm what you're needing
01:00:40 I need some kind of sign
01:00:44 Let me know, 'cause I can't read your mind
01:00:51 Are you in or am I in this on my own?
01:00:55 I need some clue from you
01:00:58 It's a tax thing.
01:01:00 It's a mistake my lawyers
01:01:02 - but for the time being...
01:01:06 It's nothing. It's like...
01:01:09 Fifty grand.
01:01:12 You got it.
01:01:15 Thank you, man.
01:01:18 Joe, this ain't no loan. It's a gift. All right?
01:01:21 All you did for Bumpy, we owe you.

01:02:58 Joey Sodano. Don Cattano's nephew.
01:03:00 Yeah, yeah.
01:03:02 He looks like your uncle, Abruzzo.
01:03:03 Yeah, but he's not as handsome.
01:03:05 He looks more like your sister.
01:03:07 Yeah, that's funny.
01:03:08 Maybe you guys
01:03:09 So we need Ice Pick Paul.
01:03:12 Ice Pick Paul?

01:03:44 That rat, Ricky, has told us...
01:03:46 He's fucking dead. About four weeks ago.
01:03:50 He's dead.
01:03:52 All right, well,
01:03:54 I don't think we got any
01:03:59 What you saying, Richie?
01:04:02 I'm saying, take it down.
01:07:20 Hi, who's this?
01:07:22 - Hello? Gabe? Yeah, it's Scott:
01:07:25 Scotty! What's going down, brother?
01:07:28 Those snow tyres you gave me last night:
01:07:31 - Oh, the snow tyres?
01:07:35 - Give me one-and-a-half more:
01:07:37 - that's a pretty big order.
01:07:41 they better get at least 100,000 miles:
01:07:43 All right, I'll tell you what.
01:07:47 I'm gonna set you up real nice
01:07:51 - Thanks, bro:
01:07:55 That's considerably more than

01:08:05 That's yours.
01:08:07 Signing my life away again,
01:08:14 - It has to be Blue Magic, right?
01:08:18 You can pick it up here tomorrow.
01:08:19 $20,000.
01:08:20 Just leave it there.
01:08:36 - How'd you do?
01:08:40 Here he comes.
01:08:42 - That's him?
01:08:44 That was quick.
01:08:57 Richie, if he goes in the city,
01:08:59 Stay with the fucking money,
01:09:01 We stay with the money, all right?
01:09:02 We can't go in the fucking city.
01:09:03 Yes, we can.
01:09:05 that I'm responsible for. I ain't losing it.
01:09:07 It's out of our jurisdiction!
01:09:09 Follow the money!
01:09:26 He's pulling over.
01:09:28 All right, here we go.
01:09:30 Let me out here.
01:09:34 Don't disappear, all right?
01:09:35 I'll circle the block.
01:09:38 Move!
01:09:57 Hey! Who's the fuck?
01:10:12 Police Officer. I'm commandeering
01:10:15 Who the fuck cares about you?
01:10:17 - Get someone else's car!
01:10:20 Come on, man. Can't we live in peace...
01:12:30 Frankie, Frankie! Sit down.
01:12:32 What?
01:12:34 Happy birthday, gentlemen.
01:12:37 He's about to do something, huh?
01:12:41 Look at that. Strike.
01:12:43 Hey, what's between your legs?
01:12:44 Nothing.
01:12:46 Knock it off.
01:12:47 Shut the fuck up! What did I tell you?
01:12:49 Keep your fucking head down.
01:12:50 Shut up! Whose bag is this?
01:12:51 What're you doing?
01:12:52 Don't you move!
01:13:06 Hey, guys? Guys! Officers!
01:13:09 Hey, I'm Richie Roberts, from Newark.
01:13:14 That's my money.
01:13:16 What the fuck?
01:13:20 The bills are sequenced, right?
01:13:22 They're registered with the Essex County
01:13:25 They all start with CF3500. Have a look.
01:13:34 Fucking registers.
01:13:35 I thought I had a fucking Chris-Craft
01:13:38 Honest mistake. I'll just get the money.
01:13:43 - This time.
01:13:46 - There it is.
01:13:48 When was the last time I was in Jersey?
01:13:53 Never.
01:13:56 What're you doing,
01:13:58 You don't think you could
01:14:02 You got your fucking money, Richie.
01:14:06 And never, ever come into
01:14:10 You come in to see
01:14:13 you call ahead first, see if it's okay with me.
01:14:17 No problem. All right.
01:14:23 Let's go, hit some balls.
01:14:28 Is that your car?
01:14:30 That's a fucking great car.
01:14:33 Have a nice fucking trip back to Jersey.
01:14:35 All right.
01:14:36 Come on, I got a tee time. Let's go.
01:14:43 What were you doin' there?
01:14:44 Well, that's where this dope is coming from.
01:14:48 What do you expect me to do, ignore it?
01:14:50 The cab driver has filed aggravated assault
01:14:53 which he may reconsider
01:14:55 depending on how much
01:14:59 I showed him my ID. I told him I was a cop.
01:15:03 You stole his cab
01:15:06 I was chasing the twenty grand, all right?
01:15:09 Next time, knock him out
01:15:13 Look, I don't want to hear
01:15:18 - Well, then this investigation's over.
01:15:21 I said, "I don't want to hear
01:15:24 You do whatever you have to do.
01:15:26 to figure out
01:15:29 Just don't tell me about it.
01:15:30 Just don't tell me about it.
01:15:36 There's your girl, right there.
01:15:42 - Hey, how'd you do?
01:15:44 - I didn't keep you waiting long, did I?
01:15:46 Good. A woman as beautiful as you
01:15:50 For anything.
01:15:57 Thank you, ma'am. You as pretty as ever.
01:16:05 - Hey, Doc.
01:16:07 Heard your boy scored
01:16:10 - Sure. Sure do make father proud.
01:16:24 This is your father?
01:16:26 That's Martin Luther King.
01:16:29 - It is not.
01:16:31 You know, "I have a dream"?
01:16:33 Of course.
01:16:34 No, that's...
01:16:36 He was just as important
01:16:40 What did he do?
01:16:42 Did a lot of things. He was a friend
01:16:49 He was my boss.
01:16:51 My teacher.
01:16:52 What did he teach you?
01:16:54 He taught me a lot of things. He
01:16:58 taught me how to take my time.
01:17:02 Taught me that if I was going to
01:17:07 Anything else?
01:17:13 He taught me to be a gentleman.
01:17:15 That's what you are?
01:17:16 That's what I try to be. Come here.
01:17:20 Come here. Sit right here.
01:17:24 Look at me.
01:17:26 I own about five apartments in Manhattan.
01:17:31 Homes all over the East Coast,
01:17:32 I could have taken you to any one of them,
01:17:35 I brought you here.
01:17:36 Frank, I was looking for you, boy.
01:17:37 Because I wanted you to meet my mother.
01:17:40 How you doing, Ma?
01:17:41 Is this her?
01:17:42 - Eva, this is my mother.
01:17:44 Oh!
01:17:45 Nice to meet you.
01:17:47 - She's beautiful!
01:17:49 Look at her, Frank.

01:18:15 Sorry. Our appointment?

01:18:33 She did mention your name, though.
01:18:36 The stewardess?
01:18:37 No, not the stewardess.
01:18:40 The lady from Child Services.
01:18:44 Right after she asked me
01:18:48 All right, go! Go, go!

01:19:10 A lot.
01:19:15 You know, when you asked me
01:19:18 I took it very seriously.
01:19:19 I know. I know and I appreciate that.
01:19:21 And I said yes,
01:19:24 Take care of your son,
01:19:27 Joe, the kind of things
01:19:30 made me look really bad, all right.

01:19:37 Old friends like me.
01:19:40 Old friends like you, yeah.
01:19:44 Uncle Joey, watch me, okay?
01:19:49 Okay, I understand.
01:19:51 They ask me, I'll tell them what you want me
01:19:55 No, don't lie. You don't have to lie.
01:19:58 Just, omit certain details.

01:25:01 Damn it, man.
01:25:05 Simple Simon-ass motherfuckers.
01:25:23 The whole place was imported.
01:25:26 Brick by brick.
01:25:29 Gloucestershire.
01:25:31 - Who?
01:25:34 Yours.
01:25:40 Here you go.
01:25:46 Pull!
01:25:53 Come, Eva.
01:25:55 I'm sure you're dying
01:26:02 Of course. Excuse me.
01:26:06 Thank you for a wonderful lunch.
01:26:13 What do you think of monopolies?
01:26:16 You mean like the game?
01:26:17 No, I just think monopolies
01:26:21 'cause nobody wants to compete, you know.
01:26:24 Nobody wants to compete,
01:26:27 I mean, you let the dairy farmers do that,
01:26:29 half of them would be
01:26:31 Just trying to make a living.
01:26:33 That's your right, I mean,
01:26:38 We just can't do it
01:26:42 'Cause then it becomes un-American.
01:26:45 That's why the price
01:26:47 could never represent
01:26:49 'cause it's got to be controlled.
01:26:53 Gotta be controlled by who?
01:26:56 - I don't think it's fair.
01:26:57 - I don't think it's fair.
01:26:59 I mean, I know
01:27:01 bunch of fucking junkies that they are.
01:27:04 But we fellow dairy farmers out here, Frank,
01:27:09 You thinking of them?
01:27:11 - The dairy farmers?
01:27:13 I'm thinking of them, Dominic, about
01:27:18 I'm just thinking out loud now.
01:27:21 If you took some of your inventory, Frank,
01:27:27 Sit.
01:27:29 We could work.
01:27:34 I don't know. I'm pretty good, Dominic.
01:27:35 You know, I got 110th, 155th, river to river.
01:27:39 That's kind of a mom and pop store
01:27:42 I mean, let's go at least bigger than Kmart.
01:27:44 I'm talking about LA, Chicago, Detroit,
01:27:49 I'm gonna guarantee you your peace
01:27:55 You're going to need it.
01:27:57 I don't know how you view me, you know.
01:27:59 I'm kind of a Renaissance man, Frank.
01:28:01 You know,
01:28:03 you know, they're not enlightened, Frank.
01:28:05 You talk to them about civil rights,
01:28:08 They're not open to change.
01:28:10 Not from the way things
01:28:13 I talk to them,
01:28:18 And that's what I mean
01:28:26 You're paying, what, $75,000, $80,000 a kilo?
01:28:31 I'm a Renaissance man, too.
01:28:34 I'll consider $50,000.
01:28:45 Why would you trust these people?
01:28:48 They look at me like
01:28:51 They look at us like we're the help.
01:28:54 They work for me now.
01:29:01 I predict that
01:29:01 I predict that
01:29:03 this will be like a good amateur
01:29:08 This will be like a kid out of the Olympics:::
01:29:11 That's gonna be Ali in like three.
01:29:13 You're not fighting Oscar Bonavena,
01:29:15 you're not fighting Sonny Liston:
01:29:17 You're fighting Joe Frazier:
01:29:18 ALl: Everybody knows that:
01:29:19 He's all talk, man.
01:29:21 Look at Frazier!
01:29:23 ALl: I'll stop him:

01:29:36 for the Fight of the Century:
01:29:37 And by anybody's definition,
01:29:41 There are handshakes and,
01:29:45 But behind the smiles
01:29:47 you can feel the atmosphere is so heavy
01:29:52 Everybody who is anybody is here:
01:29:55 Like Sinatra: Like Graziano,
01:29:59 And Woody Allen and Diane Keaton:
01:30:03 ALl: The way you all build it up,
01:30:07 everybody gives their opinion:
01:30:11 And when Joe Louis said I'm gonna lose,
01:30:15 Joe Louis always picks the wrong man!
01:30:18 Always picks the wrong man:
01:30:20 Joe Louis is here tonight:
01:30:23 The official weight of Joe Frazier
01:30:27 Oh.
01:30:30 ALl: Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee:
01:30:33 You're not watching the fight, Bob?
01:30:36 I'm not into boxing.
01:30:38 This ain't boxing, kid.
01:30:41 It's politics.
01:30:46 I got something for you, too.
01:30:48 Yeah?
01:30:52 The coat? For me?
01:30:53 Mmm-hmm.
01:30:55 Do you like it?
01:30:57 The coat? Yeah, yeah, it's nice.
01:31:02 - What do you think?
01:31:04 - You sure?
01:31:13 Over here, Sammy.
01:31:15 Hey, Sammy! Give a look.

01:32:27 His opponent,

01:32:34 Who's that laughing with Cattano?
01:32:37 How'd he get so fucking close to the ring?
01:32:39 The Heavyweight Champion of the World,
01:32:42 Joe Frazier!
01:32:47 Hey, Frank.
01:32:51 I'm gonna miss the fight.
01:32:52 You paid for it.
01:32:57 Joe, over here!
01:33:39 This guy, he's a supplier
01:33:41 Otherwise we'd know his name:
01:33:42 His tickets were phenomenal.
01:33:47 Joe Louis shook his hand.
01:33:50 Who the fuck is this guy?
01:33:56 What's this?
01:33:57 That's the plate off the limo.
01:33:59 Check with the company who rented it.
01:34:05 Right there, Mr Lucas. Right there. Good.
01:34:09 Can I get a shot here, Frank? Right here.
01:34:12 Looking good, Frank.
01:34:14 Beautiful.

01:35:20 Congratulations, Frank.
01:35:22 Detective.
01:35:24 So, you sure you done the right thing?
01:35:27 Hey, hey, listen, listen.
01:35:30 Before you say anything
01:35:32 understand this is the most important day
01:35:35 Oh, I understand. I understand.
01:35:37 You know, a man who
01:35:39 and never even bought me a cup of coffee.
01:35:42 There's something wrong there.
01:35:46 I don't know what you're talking about.
01:35:47 Do you pay your bills, I asked you?
01:35:49 If you're not getting your share,
01:35:50 maybe you need
01:35:51 What's my share?
01:35:55 Maybe I'm special.
01:35:57 You are special.
01:35:59 You see that right there?
01:36:00 Special Investigations Unit.
01:36:04 Special.
01:36:06 Get it?
01:36:08 Ten grand. First of each month.
01:36:13 - Are you done?
01:36:19 Don't forget your card.
01:36:22 Let's go.
01:37:23 His name is Frank Lucas:
01:37:25 Originally from Greensboro, North Carolina:
01:37:28 A couple of arrests years ago.
01:37:33 For 15 years, he was Bumpy Johnson's
01:37:39 He was with him when he died.
01:37:41 He's got five brothers.
01:37:47 They all living up here now,
01:37:48 spread throughout the five boroughs
01:37:51 The brothers are Dexter,
01:37:53 - in Brooklyn: He's a dry cleaner:
01:37:56 - I'm picking up.
01:37:58 Melvin in Queens has got
01:38:04 - That's it right here?
01:38:05 Terrence in Newark,
01:38:09 Turner in the Bronx has got a tyre shop:
01:38:14 And Huey Lucas in Bergen County
01:38:16 - Is your manager here?
01:38:18 Oh, man, I'm gonna take it
01:38:20 These businesses are
01:38:23 for Frank's dope and Frank's money:
01:38:26 Everything about Frank's life seems
01:38:33 He starts early, gets up at 5:00 a: M:
01:38:35 Has breakfast in a diner
01:38:39 Then he starts work:
01:38:40 Takes a meeting with the accountant
01:38:44 At nights, he usually stays at home:
01:38:47 it's to one of two clubs or
01:38:51 - Some ball players:
01:38:53 Friends, musicians:
01:38:58 Sundays, he takes his mother to church:
01:39:01 Then he drives out and he changes
01:39:03 the flowers on Bumpy's grave.
01:39:07 Not the typical day
01:39:10 No:
01:39:12 Bumpy Johnson's life wasn't typical either,
01:39:16 So you're saying
01:39:19 Yeah:
01:39:21 Yeah:
01:39:23 But is it? Is it?
01:39:26 He's handing out turkeys, man.
01:39:27 :: He does the same as
01:39:30 And who was Bumpy most likely to teach?
01:39:33 The guy he sees every day.
01:39:35 It's like a Sicilian family:
01:39:38 He's structured his organisation
01:39:42 And if he was with Bumpy for so long,
01:39:43 that means he would have
01:39:46 Definitely long enough to learn that much.
01:39:49 But here's the thing. I don't think

01:43:13 I set it up with the Yankees and Billy Martin.
01:43:18 Why didn't you show up?
01:43:22 Don't lie to me.
01:43:24 I don't want to play ball no more.
01:43:27 - I decided.
01:43:29 You decided? Decided what?
01:43:31 - That ain't what I want.
01:43:33 You've been playing
01:43:34 You were ready to go into the pros.
01:43:36 Frank! We got a problem, man.
01:43:42 What do you want?
01:43:45 I want what you got, Uncle Frank.
01:43:47 I want to be you.
01:44:09 He's been diluting it so much.
01:44:12 And you tested it? You're sure?
01:44:15 Yeah.
01:44:21 Fuck you looking at?
01:45:15 My man.
01:45:18 - Welcome, Frank.
01:45:21 It's all great. Welcome.
01:45:23 - I need to talk to you.
01:45:25 Hey, you all, everybody get out! Let's go.
01:45:31 Sit, my brother.
01:45:35 I take it you talked to Charlie.
01:45:38 Guess you wanna hear more
01:45:41 - Let me explain to you...
01:45:43 I'm all right.
01:45:47 Yeah, everybody's good, Nick.
01:45:48 You know, everybody's happy.
01:45:52 you know, Johnny Law.
01:45:54 - I'm happy, Frank.
01:45:56 Well, maybe I'm the one with the problem.
01:46:00 All right.
01:46:01 I gotta problem 'cause
01:46:03 I don't understand why you gotta take
01:46:07 and mess it up.
01:46:09 See, brand names.
01:46:13 Shut the fuck up!
01:46:15 Go ahead, Frank.
01:46:18 Blue Magic.
01:46:20 That's a brand name.
01:46:24 I stand behind it. I guarantee it.
01:46:27 They know that, even if they don't know me
01:46:29 they know the chairman of General Mills.
01:46:32 What the fuck are you talking about, Frank?
01:46:33 What I'm talking about is
01:46:36 to one, two, three, four, five percent
01:46:41 that is trademark infringement.
01:46:44 With all due respect, Frank,
01:46:47 No, that ain't true. That ain't true.
01:46:48 If I buy a car, and I wanna paint it,
01:46:51 Yeah, but you don't have to.
01:46:52 This is what I'm saying to you, Nick, you
01:46:55 You can make enough money off it
01:46:58 Anything more than that is greed, son.
01:47:00 What you want, Frank?
01:47:02 I would have to insist
01:47:04 Fine by me, Frank. I'll call it Red Magic,
01:47:08 I don't give a fuck what you call it.
01:47:11 and call it Blue Dog Shit,
01:47:14 I don't care, just don't let me catch you
01:47:18 Catch me? Infringement? Insist?
01:47:21 I don't like these words as much as,
01:47:23 "Please, thank you,
01:47:25 These are better words you use to come
01:47:28 without an invitation! You hear me?
01:47:31 My man.
01:47:41 Oh, shit. Fuck, is that the cops there, man?
01:47:53 It's all right.
01:47:56 The hell they're gonna do, give us a ticket?
01:47:59 Stuff's in the car, Frank.
01:48:03 What?
01:48:04 Some of it's in the trunk.
01:48:08 - How you doing, Frank?
01:48:10 How was your Thanksgiving?
01:48:12 Not so good, as a matter of fact.
01:48:20 Come on, give me the fucking keys.
01:48:21 - Where's the Shelby at?
01:48:23 - The Shelby's gone?
01:48:25 Yes, sir. Right here.

01:48:33 Fucking prick.
01:48:37 - Come over here a minute, Frank.
01:48:42 What are we gonna do about this?
01:48:43 We don't do shit about it.
01:48:46 everybody go home,
01:48:49 I got a better idea.
01:48:51 Or would you rather me throw you
01:48:55 Would you rather your house

01:49:08 What's he doing? Shakedown!
01:49:12 Somebody's getting some money
01:49:14 Look at that shit.
01:49:16 Sorry, Frank.
01:49:17 It's all right. Go and get in the car.
01:49:43 All right, you call me back.
01:49:46 INS, IRS, FBI.
01:49:50 Because they all think you're on the take.
01:49:58 You know,
01:49:59 I think it employs too many people.
01:50:01 Judges, lawyers, cops, politicians,
01:50:08 They stop bringing dope into this country,
01:50:09 about 100,000 people
01:50:15 Spearman.
01:50:18 FBI. Here to see Detective Roberts.
01:50:26 So who took it out? Somebody I know?
01:50:31 Come on, if somebody's taking a contract
01:50:35 I can't say without compromising
01:50:39 No. Not when it's my life,
01:50:41 - If you want we can assign someone to you.
01:50:45 You know what? My life
01:50:50 Well, we'll let you get back
01:50:52 Okay. Larry, Bob.

01:51:13 We believe that peace is at hand:
01:51:20 We believe that an agreement

01:51:35 Yeah.
01:51:37 Hey, Joey. Hi.
01:51:41 All right. Yeah, tomorrow. Why?
01:52:04 What the fuck is a microwave?
01:52:05 It's a scientific force,
01:52:08 - Yeah?
01:52:10 It rearranges the molecules.
01:52:12 Of what?
01:52:17 Of your head. Stick it in. Go on.
01:52:23 I can get you one of those.

01:53:00 You know what that's worth?
01:53:04 Sauna. Everything. We were guests.
01:53:12 It's your place.
01:53:29 Isn't there something we can do,
01:53:33 about leaving the big guy alone?
01:53:36 You know who I mean.
01:53:38 I don't report what you just said,
01:53:42 I do report it, then the trouble is yours.
01:53:47 I'm hoping you won't do that.
01:53:50 Richie, come on. I'm not taping it.
01:53:53 How do you know? Because we're friends.
01:53:56 And I'm telling you, this is a real offer.
01:53:59 From who? Your uncle?
01:54:04 Why would you do this?
01:54:07 Because
01:54:10 I care what happens to you.
01:54:15 You shouldn't have done this.
01:54:17 I had to, I had no choice.
01:54:21 You don't have a choice.
01:54:26 Frank Lucas?
01:54:29 Yeah.

01:55:50 Look, I'm sorry I never gave you
01:55:54 I'm sorry it was never enough.

01:56:02 Don't take my boy away.
01:56:07 What are you saying?
01:56:10 and you didn't take money
01:56:13 No, you don't take money for one reason.
01:56:16 To buy being dishonest
01:56:19 And that's worse than taking money
01:56:21 Drug money, gambling money
01:56:25 You know, I'd rather you took it
01:56:28 Or don't take it. I don't care.
01:56:31 Don't cheat on your kid
01:56:33 Don't go out and get laid by your snitches
01:56:38 I can tell by just looking, she's one of them.

01:57:12 Mr Roberts' environment is for a child.
01:57:16 We tell him to protect us.
01:57:20 but then say, "Oh, we don't trust you
01:57:22 "We don't think you're fit for that."
01:57:24 I'm not.
01:57:26 You're right.
01:57:29 Being around me is no place for a kid.
01:57:32 You take him to Vegas.

02:05:35 someone's gonna take another shot at him.
02:05:38 Richie, you and I gotta
02:05:42 We need to step up our efforts.
02:05:44 Next time, their aim could be better.
02:05:48 We need to keep this cash cow alive.
02:05:56 What the fuck are you doing here?
02:05:59 Whoa!
02:06:03 Were you actually gonna arrest
02:06:06 What's the matter with you?
02:06:08 - What, you don't know?
02:06:10 Everybody in New Jersey's crazy.
02:06:14 You know what we do here?
02:06:19 Before you get on that bridge again,
02:06:21 you should call me first,
02:06:28 "I'm more enlightened
02:06:30 "I can guarantee you peace of mind."
02:06:32 That's what you told me, Dominic.
02:06:35 "I can guarantee you peace of mind!"
02:06:38 I don't feel so peaceful!
02:06:41 Huh?
02:06:45 They tried to kill my wife!
02:06:52 Who was that? Huh?

02:07:03 I'll tell you what I know.
02:07:06 out there on the street
02:07:08 just to make a point.
02:07:10 Frank, it was a junkie. It was a rival.
02:07:13 trying to make a name for himself.
02:07:17 Someone you slighted
02:07:20 Could be someone you put out of business
02:07:25 Success, it's got enemies, Frank.
02:07:30 So your success took a shot at you.
02:07:33 How you gonna kill it?
02:07:37 Frank, we can be successful
02:07:41 Or we can be unsuccessful, too, you know,
02:07:45 That's the choice we make.

02:09:59 And then you go to court
02:10:01 What's he gonna think?
02:10:05 Answer him!
02:10:07 No. He's going to assume that you talked.
02:10:13 But right now, Frank doesn't know.
02:10:15 You want Frank to read
02:10:18 Or do you just want to walk out of here?
02:10:20 No bail, no trial, no jail,
02:10:25 Your choice:
02:10:36 Opium plants are hard enough
02:10:42 They'll still be here
02:10:47 What are you going to do for transportation
02:10:52 I'll figure something out.
02:10:56 You will see me again, that's for sure.
02:11:00 It is not in my best interest
02:11:04 but quitting while you're ahead
02:11:07 is not the same as quitting.
02:11:51 - Yeah.
02:11:52 Go get him.
02:11:56 - Whatever you want to do, baby.
02:11:59 - It's Frank.

02:12:31 This isn't no Jersey licence plate,

02:12:53 All right?

02:12:56 You're not going anywhere. Sit... Sit down.
02:13:21 - Captain?
02:13:23 Richie Roberts. Essex County.
02:13:27 Here's our warrant.
02:13:30 Wait! Wait!
02:13:31 Scotty, stop all these soldiers!
02:13:45 No-knock warrant.
02:13:47 - All right. Start upstairs.
02:13:50 Step in, sweetie.
02:13:52 Ma'am, please sit down.
02:13:54 What is this?
02:13:56 Whoa, whoa, whoa!
02:13:59 Nothing leaves this area, all right?
02:14:03 - All right. Stop these trucks.
02:14:05 Everything off the walls!
02:14:07 Damn thing's a monster, Rich.
02:14:08 What is this?
02:14:09 Nothing leaves this area
02:14:10 All right, Captain. Nothing.
02:14:12 We got to take the plane down,
02:14:14 Every man here gets searched.
02:14:15 Read the warrant, sir.
02:14:18 Your husband's illustrious career is over.
02:14:21 The Feds are gonna come in,
02:14:25 And then they're gonna take it all.
02:14:30 So where's the money?
02:14:31 What are you talking about? What money?
02:14:33 What am I talking about? What money?
02:14:35 The getaway money that Frank and
02:14:39 If you leave now,
02:14:44 Shut up! Sit down!
02:14:46 Sit down!
02:15:28 Defence today
02:15:30 of all remaining US
02:15:33 news that comes too late for some,
02:15:36 as here, on a solemn tarmac
02:15:40 This C-130,
02:15:43 a cargo of America's bravest and best,
02:16:03 You guys. Take this coffin down.
02:16:13 - Open it.
02:16:22 Great fucking dog, huh?
02:16:32 You stop this, right now.
02:16:34 My warrant gives me permission
02:16:38 the plane and its cargo.
02:16:40 Well, you don't have my permission.
02:16:43 I don't need it, Captain.
02:16:46 Easy! Easy, boy. Come on. Hey! Easy!
02:16:50 Frank, move out of the way.
02:16:59 Damn.
02:17:05 That's enough!
02:17:14 Stay with these coffins.
02:17:16 Got it. Okay.
02:17:19 Hey. Help me out with this.
02:17:46 That was a military transport plane.
02:17:48 If there was heroin onboard,
02:17:49 then someone in the military
02:17:51 Which means that even as it fights a war
02:17:56 the military is smuggling narcotics.
02:17:58 That is how this event today
02:18:01 That someone employed by this office
02:18:03 believes that the United States Army
02:18:06 and is trying to prove it
02:18:10 who have given their lives
02:18:13 - There is dope on that plane.
02:18:17 Is it any wonder, then,
02:18:20 the entire federal narcotics programme
02:18:23 of being dismantled as completely
02:18:26 as that fucking transport plane?
02:18:28 That is what you've accomplished,
02:18:30 I had good information.
02:18:33 That the target of my investigation
02:18:36 - And that target is?
02:18:38 - Who?
02:18:40 Who is Frank Lucas?
02:18:43 He's not Italian. He's black.
02:18:48 Is that supposed to be some kind of a joke?
02:18:51 You're this close to the end of your career
02:18:54 and you're making fucking jokes?
02:18:56 My investigation indicates
02:18:59 that Frank Lucas is above the Mafia
02:19:02 My investigations also indicate
02:19:04 that Frank Lucas buys direct
02:19:08 He cuts out the middlemen
02:19:12 and personnel to transport
02:19:15 and he's been doing so
02:19:20 I have cases against
02:19:23 Frank's organisation?
02:19:24 No fucking nigger has ever accomplished
02:19:28 And you would know that how? Why?
02:19:29 'Cause your head is stuck up
02:19:31 Hey, Lou, do me a favour.
02:19:33 Kike? Kike?
02:19:35 Richie, no.
02:19:40 Hey, Richie!
02:19:42 Make it stick.
02:19:44 Spearman's with the coffins.
02:20:18 Doctor.
02:20:21 What?
02:20:22 Fucking Trupo came by the house, man.
02:20:40 Frankie, I need to speak with you a minute.
02:20:44 - I got to go, Ma.
02:20:46 Would you please come back a little later?
02:20:49 Thank you.
02:20:50 - Ma, I got to go. All right?
02:20:52 Listen to me. I got...
02:20:54 Please, sit down. Just a few words.
02:20:56 I've been thinking about some things.
02:20:58 You know, if you'd been a preacher,
02:21:02 Right.
02:21:03 If you'd been a soldier, they'd be soldiers.
02:21:07 They came here because of you.
02:21:11 Right.
02:21:12 That's because they look up to you.
02:21:15 They always expect you
02:21:20 But even they know
02:21:22 you don't shoot cops.
02:21:26 Even I know that.
02:21:29 - Eva knows it.
02:21:30 The only one who doesn't seem to know
02:21:33 All right, Ma. I got to go.
02:21:36 I never asked you where all this came from
02:21:40 I didn't want you to worry about it.
02:21:42 Don't lie to me!
02:21:49 Don't do that.
02:21:51 Do you want to make things so bad
02:21:55 for your family that they'll leave you?
02:21:58 They'll understand.
02:21:59 She will leave you.
02:22:01 All right, Mama.
02:22:06 I will leave you!
02:22:35 Got coffins on the move, Richie.

02:34:14 Mr Roberts, are you ready to proceed?
02:34:20 Yes, Your Honour.
02:34:26 Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
02:34:33 the State will show and you will hear
02:34:37 that Frank Lucas is the most dangerous man
02:34:41 walking the streets of our city.
02:34:46 All right, y'all, get on out.
02:34:53 Come on, come on, come on.
02:34:59 Thank you.
02:35:05 You ain't wearing a wire, are you?
02:35:08 No.
02:35:10 All right. I was talking to my lawyers.
02:35:13 They said something to me,
02:35:17 Did you really find a million dollars
02:35:20 - and then turn it in? Did you do that?
02:35:22 You did that for real, huh?
02:35:24 My man. Good for you. Shit.
02:35:27 You know Johnny Law got it though, right?
02:35:29 - Maybe.
02:35:31 You know he got it.
02:35:34 he took it and you ain't get nothing for it.
02:35:37 Why did you do that?
02:35:38 - It was the right thing to do.
02:35:41 That's a good answer.
02:35:43 The question I have,
02:35:45 would you do it again?
02:35:48 I mean, that's a lot of money,
02:35:52 Many car payments ago,
02:35:57 So I said to myself,
02:36:02 Bribery, extortion, murder,
02:36:10 Now, you give me an address,
02:36:12 I'll make sure the car's there,
02:36:15 No, thanks.
02:36:17 You sure?
02:36:20 Come on, now, Richie.
02:36:23 You think that you're better than them?
02:36:26 In fact, you're the same as them.
02:36:30 Let me ask you this.
02:36:31 Do you really think that
02:36:34 is going to change anything
02:36:36 Them dope fiends is gonna shoot it,
02:36:38 they're gonna steal for it,
02:36:40 Putting me in or out
02:36:43 Then that's the way it is.
02:36:44 That's just the way it is.
02:36:47 We got me and you sitting here.
02:36:49 We got that little snitch-ass driver
02:36:52 You got a little bit of powder:
02:36:54 You're going to need more than that, Richie:
02:36:55 I got possession, supply,
02:36:59 bribing a law officer: I got people who'll
02:37:03 I got your offshore bank accounts,
02:37:07 all bought with money from heroin.
02:37:10 And I got hundreds of parents of dead kids.
02:37:13 Addicts who OD'ed on your product.
02:37:16 And that's how I make it all stick.
02:37:20 "And he did it from a penthouse,
02:37:22 Aside from that,
02:37:24 That's pretty good. But that's why
02:37:27 'Cause I got witnesses, too.
02:37:28 I got celebrities.
02:37:33 I took care of Harlem, so Harlem's
02:37:37 - I got more than that, Frank.
02:37:39 I've got a line of people
02:37:42 it stretches out the door
02:37:45 You damaged a lot of lives, Frank:
02:37:48 Remember those boys?
02:37:50 I ain't got nothing to do with no Mazzanos.
02:37:52 Mazzanos ain't got nothing to do with me.
02:37:53 - They got everything to do with you.
02:37:55 - You know why?
02:37:56 Because apart from the fact
02:37:59 they hate what you represent.
02:38:00 - I don't represent nothing but Frank Lucas.
02:38:04 A black businessman like you?
02:38:06 You represent progress.
02:38:08 The kind of progress
02:38:12 With you out of the way,
02:38:17 My man.
02:38:23 You know what normal is to me, Richie?
02:38:25 I ain't seen normal since I was six years old.
02:38:29 Normal is seeing the police
02:38:32 dragging my little 12-year-old cousin out,
02:38:35 shoving a shotgun in his mouth
02:38:39 Then they bust two shotgun shells
02:38:42 That's what normal is to me.
02:38:43 I didn't give a fuck about no police then.
02:38:46 I don't give a fuck about
02:38:50 You know what,
02:38:52 So, it don't mean nothing to me
02:38:55 with your head blown off.
02:38:58 Yeah, Frank. Get in line.
02:39:06 All right.
02:39:12 What do you want to do?
02:39:20 You know what you got to do.
02:39:21 What do you want me to do? Snitch, huh?
02:39:23 I know you don't want me
02:39:25 What do you want? You want gangsters?
02:39:27 Pick one. Jew gangsters?
02:39:31 They've been bleeding Harlem dry
02:39:34 I don't give a fuck about no crime figures.
02:39:39 I'll take them, too.
02:39:41 You'll take them, too?
02:39:48 No, you didn't. You're talking about police.
02:39:52 You want your own kind?
02:39:53 They're not my kind.
02:39:55 They're in business with you, Frank.
02:39:58 They ain't my kind
02:40:05 Huh.
02:40:16 What can you promise me, Richie?
02:40:21 I can promise you, you lie about one name,
02:40:25 you'll never get out of prison.
02:40:27 You lie about one dollar,
02:40:29 you'll never get out of prison.
02:40:33 Now you can live life rich in jail
02:40:37 or be poor outside for some of them.
