| 00:00:50 |
When you love someone, |
| 00:00:53 |
There's no other way. |
| 00:00:55 |
You've got to give them the key |
| 00:00:59 |
Otherwise, what's the point? |
| 00:01:03 |
And, for a while, I believed |
| 00:03:14 |
Before I ever ran a casino, |
| 00:03:17 |
Ace Rothstein was a hell |
| 00:03:21 |
I was so good that whenever I bet, |
| 00:03:24 |
for every bookmaker |
| 00:03:26 |
I'm serious, |
| 00:03:28 |
that I was given |
| 00:03:31 |
I was given one of the biggest casinos |
| 00:03:35 |
by the only kind of guys that can |
| 00:03:39 |
$62,700,000. |
| 00:03:43 |
I don't know all the details. |
| 00:03:46 |
Nobody knew all the details, |
| 00:03:49 |
I mean, he had me, Nicky Santoro, |
| 00:03:53 |
and he had, Ginger, |
| 00:03:58 |
But in the end, |
| 00:04:01 |
It should've been so sweet too. |
| 00:04:03 |
But it turned out to be the last time |
| 00:04:06 |
were ever given anything |
| 00:04:14 |
At that time, Vegas was a place |
| 00:04:16 |
flew in every year |
| 00:04:18 |
and left behind |
| 00:04:21 |
But at night, you couldn't see |
| 00:04:27 |
But it's in the desert where lots |
| 00:04:31 |
Got a lot of holes |
| 00:04:33 |
and a lot of problems |
| 00:04:36 |
Except you gotta do it right. |
| 00:04:38 |
I mean, you gotta have |
| 00:04:40 |
before you show up |
| 00:04:43 |
Otherwise, you're talking about |
| 00:04:46 |
And who knows who's gonna |
| 00:04:49 |
Before you know it, |
| 00:04:52 |
You could be there |
| 00:05:10 |
Who could resist? |
| 00:05:12 |
Anywhere else in the country |
| 00:05:15 |
always lookin' over my shoulder, |
| 00:05:18 |
But here, I'm Mr. Rothstein. |
| 00:05:20 |
I'm not only legitimate, |
| 00:05:23 |
And that's like selling people |
| 00:05:27 |
I hired an old casino pal, Billy Sherbert, |
| 00:05:32 |
...the casino manager. And this is |
| 00:05:38 |
For guys like me, |
| 00:05:41 |
It's like a morality car wash. |
| 00:05:43 |
It does for us what Lourdes |
| 00:05:53 |
And along with making us legit... |
| 00:05:55 |
comes cash, tons of it. |
| 00:05:59 |
I mean, what do you think we're doing |
| 00:06:01 |
It's all this money. |
| 00:06:05 |
This is the end result |
| 00:06:07 |
and the comp trips, |
| 00:06:10 |
and free hotel suites, |
| 00:06:14 |
It's all been arranged |
| 00:06:20 |
That's the truth about Las Vegas. |
| 00:06:24 |
We're the only winners. |
| 00:06:26 |
The players don't stand a chance. |
| 00:06:28 |
And their cash flows |
| 00:06:31 |
to our boxes |
| 00:06:34 |
and into the most sacred room |
| 00:06:37 |
The place where they add up |
| 00:06:39 |
the holy of holies, |
| 00:06:44 |
- Now, this place was off-limits. |
| 00:06:47 |
Even I couldn't get inside. |
| 00:06:49 |
But it was my job to keep it filled |
| 00:06:51 |
They had so much |
| 00:06:53 |
you could build a house out |
| 00:06:56 |
And the best part |
| 00:06:58 |
- the board of directors didn't know what the fuck was going on. |
| 00:07:00 |
I mean, to them everything |
| 00:07:03 |
Right? Wrong. |
| 00:07:05 |
Verify 5,000. |
| 00:07:07 |
- The guys inside the counting room... |
| 00:07:09 |
Were all slipped in there |
| 00:07:12 |
They'd do short counts, |
| 00:07:15 |
They'd even take cash |
| 00:07:18 |
And it was up to this guy |
| 00:07:20 |
standin' in front |
| 00:07:22 |
to skim the cash off the top |
| 00:07:25 |
- the IRS or anybody. |
| 00:07:28 |
Now, notice how in the count room |
| 00:07:31 |
Somehow, somebody's always |
| 00:07:33 |
Now, look at these guys. |
| 00:07:35 |
They're countin' money. |
| 00:07:38 |
I mean, God forbid they should make |
| 00:07:42 |
Meanwhile, |
| 00:07:45 |
Past the jag-off guard |
| 00:07:48 |
just to watch the door. |
| 00:07:51 |
It's routine. Business as usual: |
| 00:07:55 |
And that's all there is to it. |
| 00:07:57 |
Just another fat fuck walkin' out |
| 00:08:02 |
Now that suitcase was goin' |
| 00:08:04 |
Right to Kansas City, |
| 00:08:07 |
to Las Vegas as the Midwest |
| 00:08:09 |
without gettin' themselves arrested. |
| 00:08:12 |
That suitcase was all... |
| 00:08:14 |
the bosses ever wanted. |
| 00:08:16 |
- And they wanted it every month. |
| 00:08:24 |
Now this old Mormon fuck here... |
| 00:08:26 |
he had to fly in with suitcases |
| 00:08:30 |
- Somethin' smells good. |
| 00:08:32 |
The bosses would come |
| 00:08:35 |
Detroit, Cleveland, Milwaukee... |
| 00:08:37 |
all over the Midwest. |
| 00:08:39 |
And they would meet in the back |
| 00:08:42 |
I mean, nobody even knew it. |
| 00:08:44 |
One of the guys made |
| 00:08:47 |
- Do you ever see that guy Jerry Steriano? |
| 00:08:49 |
Now, these old greaseballs |
| 00:08:52 |
but believe me... |
| 00:08:53 |
these are the guys |
| 00:08:56 |
Mama, that man's here again. |
| 00:08:58 |
Because they control |
| 00:09:00 |
And that's where you had to go if you |
| 00:09:03 |
- Would you put in shrimp? |
| 00:09:05 |
Here you are, gentlemen. |
| 00:09:06 |
Nobody got a Teamsters' loan |
| 00:09:09 |
knew they were gonna get |
| 00:09:13 |
Guys like this antique over here, |
| 00:09:18 |
Or especially guys like Remo Gaggi, |
| 00:09:21 |
You got a round figure on it? |
| 00:09:23 |
- Definitely the most important guy in this room. |
| 00:09:26 |
- That's around 700,000. |
| 00:09:29 |
I know it's |
| 00:09:33 |
But I do want to welcome the ladies |
| 00:09:37 |
As far as the world |
| 00:09:39 |
Andy Stone, the head of |
| 00:09:42 |
- was a legitimate guy. |
| 00:09:45 |
- A powerful man. |
| 00:09:47 |
He even played golf |
| 00:09:49 |
On behalf of the Teamsters' |
| 00:09:51 |
- it is my pleasure to present to you... |
| 00:09:54 |
And when he was told to give |
| 00:09:57 |
this check for $62,700,000... |
| 00:10:00 |
for the new Tangiers. |
| 00:10:02 |
He did what he was told. |
| 00:10:05 |
Now, here was |
| 00:10:07 |
What the fuck else could he be? |
| 00:10:09 |
He didn't want to know |
| 00:10:10 |
especially that the bosses made |
| 00:10:13 |
He wanted to believe |
| 00:10:15 |
gave him all that fuckin' money |
| 00:10:18 |
I know full well how much competition |
| 00:10:24 |
And where they got Green from? |
| 00:10:26 |
Who the fuck knows? |
| 00:10:28 |
All I know is that Green was |
| 00:10:30 |
who barely had |
| 00:10:32 |
to come and pick up |
| 00:10:35 |
And of course it was |
| 00:10:37 |
Andy Stone, |
| 00:10:39 |
Not the chairman |
| 00:10:41 |
I understand. |
| 00:10:47 |
Now all they needed was... |
| 00:10:49 |
somebody they could trust |
| 00:10:51 |
And who better than Ace? I mean, he was |
| 00:10:54 |
and he had |
| 00:10:56 |
But typical Ace, give him a shot |
| 00:10:59 |
and he tries |
| 00:11:02 |
I don't know if I could do this |
| 00:11:04 |
The Gaming Commission |
| 00:11:06 |
I have at least two dozen |
| 00:11:08 |
You don't have to have a license |
| 00:11:12 |
All you gotta do |
| 00:11:14 |
The state law says that |
| 00:11:17 |
while they're processing |
| 00:11:19 |
They got a ten-year backlog. |
| 00:11:21 |
What happens when |
| 00:11:23 |
Why would they |
| 00:11:25 |
We're puttin' a hundred million into this |
| 00:11:28 |
They'll never find out. All you gotta do |
| 00:11:32 |
Like, uh, from Casino Executive |
| 00:11:36 |
They take your application, |
| 00:11:40 |
I know guys been workin' there |
| 00:11:45 |
It's a tough proposition, Andy. |
| 00:11:47 |
You know if I did it, |
| 00:11:49 |
You got it. |
| 00:11:51 |
I'm serious, no interference. |
| 00:11:54 |
Nobody's gonna interfere |
| 00:11:56 |
I guarantee it. |
| 00:12:01 |
And that's how |
| 00:12:03 |
They wanted him because Ace ate, |
| 00:12:10 |
They worked out |
| 00:12:13 |
Tangiers Public Relations Director. |
| 00:12:16 |
But the only thing he ever |
| 00:12:19 |
He made his first bet when he was |
| 00:12:23 |
But he didn't bet |
| 00:12:26 |
You know, havin' some fun |
| 00:12:28 |
Where the hell |
| 00:12:30 |
He bet like a fuckin' |
| 00:12:33 |
Place the checks properly. |
| 00:12:36 |
- That's the way you do it. |
| 00:12:38 |
He had to know everything, |
| 00:12:39 |
He'd find out the kind |
| 00:12:42 |
and that's what he'd put |
| 00:12:44 |
Even back home, years ago... |
| 00:12:47 |
when we were first hangin' out... |
| 00:12:49 |
he'd know if the quarterback |
| 00:12:52 |
I'll take Columbia for 20. |
| 00:12:54 |
- If his girlfriend was knocked up. |
| 00:12:56 |
He'd get the wind velocity |
| 00:12:59 |
He even figured out |
| 00:13:01 |
you got off the different kinds |
| 00:13:03 |
on college basketball courts, |
| 00:13:05 |
He'd be workin' |
| 00:13:07 |
There was nothing about a game |
| 00:13:10 |
Ace got down at six. |
| 00:13:12 |
Season after season... |
| 00:13:15 |
the prick was the only |
| 00:13:18 |
But he was so serious |
| 00:13:20 |
that I don't think |
| 00:13:22 |
But that's just the way he was. |
| 00:13:24 |
But back then, the bosses |
| 00:13:27 |
about whether |
| 00:13:29 |
To them, he was |
| 00:13:32 |
All they had to do was |
| 00:13:35 |
Especially Remo... |
| 00:13:37 |
who was a fuckin' degenerate |
| 00:13:39 |
Cazzo! |
| 00:13:41 |
All those fuckin' sweeps. |
| 00:13:44 |
- Unless Ace made his bets. |
| 00:13:47 |
Ace made more money |
| 00:13:49 |
than I could do heisting |
| 00:13:52 |
Whatever Ace picked up |
| 00:13:56 |
I mean, fixed fights, |
| 00:13:58 |
crooked fuckin' zebras, |
| 00:14:02 |
He told fuckin' Remo everything. |
| 00:14:04 |
And to tell you the truth, |
| 00:14:07 |
- Hey! |
| 00:14:09 |
was the greatest insurance |
| 00:14:13 |
Son of a bitch! |
| 00:14:15 |
How the hell did you get |
| 00:14:17 |
Nobody ever had Oklahoma-Mi... |
| 00:14:19 |
Well, that's why |
| 00:14:21 |
You see? |
| 00:14:23 |
What do we got on |
| 00:14:25 |
Well, it's a little too early. I'd say |
| 00:14:29 |
- Okay, you'll come by the house? |
| 00:14:32 |
7:00. Good job, my boy. |
| 00:14:38 |
Hey, Nick. Vien acca. |
| 00:14:40 |
- I'll be right out. |
| 00:14:42 |
Nicky, see that guy? |
| 00:14:45 |
He's makin' |
| 00:14:47 |
And he's gonna continue makin' a lot of |
| 00:14:51 |
Not like your fuckin' friends |
| 00:14:53 |
- Okay? |
| 00:14:56 |
- Mi raccomando. |
| 00:14:58 |
So now, |
| 00:15:00 |
I gotta make sure nobody fucks around |
| 00:15:02 |
Chase, couple of shooters |
| 00:15:06 |
Yeah, we made a great pair. |
| 00:15:09 |
I made book and Nicky made sure |
| 00:15:12 |
The old men loved us, |
| 00:15:14 |
- They all made money with us. |
| 00:15:17 |
- How did Nicky collect? |
| 00:15:19 |
- Don't ask. |
| 00:15:22 |
- Hi, Melissa, Heidi. |
| 00:15:25 |
Who's this guy? |
| 00:15:28 |
- Get the fuck out of here. It was nine. I laid nine. |
| 00:15:31 |
Ace, tell him the line |
| 00:15:33 |
- Eight. |
| 00:15:36 |
- Told you it was eight. |
| 00:15:38 |
'Cause you're a jag-off. |
| 00:15:40 |
- Excuse me. |
| 00:15:42 |
- Is this yours? Your pen? |
| 00:15:46 |
No, it's a nice pen. |
| 00:15:48 |
I thought it was yours. |
| 00:15:50 |
Well, thank you. |
| 00:15:52 |
and shove it up your ass, |
| 00:15:57 |
- Well, I was just offering you the... |
| 00:15:59 |
Look out, Joe. Look out. |
| 00:16:22 |
What's that? |
| 00:16:24 |
Hear a little girl, Ace? |
| 00:16:27 |
What happened |
| 00:16:29 |
- told my friend to stick it |
| 00:16:31 |
Nicky, take it easy. Nicky, Nicky. |
| 00:16:41 |
While I was trying |
| 00:16:44 |
what he was saying, |
| 00:16:47 |
No matter how big a guy might be, |
| 00:16:50 |
You beat Nicky with fists, |
| 00:16:53 |
You beat him with a knife, |
| 00:16:56 |
And if you beat him with a gun, |
| 00:16:59 |
because he'll keep coming |
| 00:17:02 |
until one of you is dead. |
| 00:17:13 |
Listen, |
| 00:17:16 |
he made a fortune |
| 00:17:19 |
I mean, that's |
| 00:17:22 |
He was a money machine. |
| 00:17:25 |
A tremendous earner |
| 00:17:28 |
As soon as he took over, |
| 00:17:32 |
With Ace, the casino |
| 00:17:35 |
And the bosses, |
| 00:17:38 |
# I got $700 # |
| 00:17:40 |
# Don't you mess with me # |
| 00:17:42 |
# But you know I'm down # |
| 00:17:46 |
# Everybody knows I'm down ## |
| 00:17:54 |
In Vegas, I had to keep |
| 00:17:58 |
They were close to the, |
| 00:18:00 |
I mean, without us, these guys, |
| 00:18:05 |
Ward, you've got to keep |
| 00:18:07 |
If you need Mr. Clean, |
| 00:18:09 |
Won't happen again, Sam. |
| 00:18:11 |
- Mr. Rothstein. |
| 00:18:15 |
Is this guy just another dumb fucking |
| 00:18:18 |
- You need this guy. |
| 00:18:20 |
He's juiced in. |
| 00:18:23 |
I wouldn't give the bum |
| 00:18:25 |
But still, I had no choice. |
| 00:18:28 |
These yokels ran the state. |
| 00:18:30 |
Thank you very much, |
| 00:18:31 |
- They passed the laws, they owned the courts. |
| 00:18:35 |
- I had dozens of politicians and state officials... |
| 00:18:37 |
Coming through that place |
| 00:18:39 |
- Help the Senator, get him whatever he wants. |
| 00:18:41 |
Why not make him happy? |
| 00:18:44 |
...the Presidential Suite. |
| 00:18:55 |
For politicians like our State Senator |
| 00:18:59 |
These guys won their comp life |
| 00:19:02 |
so, hey, why not |
| 00:19:05 |
Still, the politicians came cheap. |
| 00:19:09 |
It's a whale |
| 00:19:11 |
who plays $30,000 a hand |
| 00:19:14 |
that's the one |
| 00:19:16 |
He plays fast and big |
| 00:19:20 |
to turn out your lights. |
| 00:19:22 |
About a year ago he cleaned out a couple |
| 00:19:26 |
Downstairs he takes us |
| 00:19:28 |
and upstairs he takes free |
| 00:19:32 |
Another billionaire cheapskate |
| 00:19:35 |
free private jets and |
| 00:19:39 |
But we got him back. |
| 00:19:41 |
I had our pilot tell him |
| 00:19:44 |
I don't know what the hell went wrong. |
| 00:19:46 |
I can't understand it. These mechanical |
| 00:19:49 |
Hey, but better here than |
| 00:19:52 |
Then he missed the commercial |
| 00:19:55 |
I can't believe that there's |
| 00:20:03 |
We got him back with a whole floor |
| 00:20:05 |
- I'm sorry you missed your plane. |
| 00:20:08 |
Oh, no. No gambling. |
| 00:20:13 |
And once he was back, |
| 00:20:19 |
He bet 1,000 a hand, |
| 00:20:22 |
...to the bank |
| 00:20:25 |
But I knew the trick |
| 00:20:29 |
was that they can't bet |
| 00:20:32 |
He didn't think of it |
| 00:20:34 |
he thought of it |
| 00:20:37 |
So, he upped his bets. |
| 00:20:43 |
Until he dropped his winnings back |
| 00:20:50 |
In the casino, the cardinal rule |
| 00:20:53 |
and keep them coming back. |
| 00:20:55 |
The longer they play, |
| 00:20:57 |
In the end, we get it all. |
| 00:21:00 |
# Goddamn it |
| 00:21:03 |
# Compared to what # |
| 00:21:06 |
# Sock it to me # |
| 00:21:09 |
In Vegas, everybody's |
| 00:21:13 |
Six. All right, |
| 00:21:15 |
Since the players are looking |
| 00:21:17 |
Each and every roll, |
| 00:21:20 |
- The dealers are watching the players... |
| 00:21:23 |
- Fake a six. |
| 00:21:27 |
The floormen are watching |
| 00:21:29 |
the pit bosses are watching |
| 00:21:32 |
the shift bosses are watching |
| 00:21:35 |
the casino manager is watching |
| 00:21:38 |
I'm watching the casino manager... |
| 00:21:40 |
and the eye in the sky |
| 00:21:48 |
Plus, we had |
| 00:21:50 |
most of them ex-cheats, who knew |
| 00:22:02 |
# Tryin' to make it real |
| 00:22:14 |
Yes! |
| 00:22:16 |
- Very nice. |
| 00:22:31 |
Lookin' good. |
| 00:22:33 |
Let's go. |
| 00:22:35 |
Let me have a hundred |
| 00:22:37 |
Hundred on your hard ten. |
| 00:22:39 |
Here we go now. |
| 00:22:53 |
- Oh, I'm sorry. |
| 00:22:56 |
Thank you very much. |
| 00:22:59 |
- Thank you, sir. I appreciate it. |
| 00:23:02 |
Thanks. Take care, Steve. |
| 00:23:04 |
This hundred is for you, love. |
| 00:23:10 |
- Come on. |
| 00:23:12 |
What do you mean? I made a lot |
| 00:23:15 |
What money? I've seen |
| 00:23:18 |
What money? |
| 00:23:20 |
- I want my half. |
| 00:23:22 |
- I want my money. |
| 00:23:24 |
- I didn't steal anything from you. |
| 00:23:27 |
Get lost? Get lost? |
| 00:23:30 |
- Well, how about that? |
| 00:23:35 |
# Slippin' and a-slidin' # |
| 00:23:38 |
# Been told a long time ago # |
| 00:23:40 |
# I been told |
| 00:23:43 |
# I won't be your fool no more |
| 00:23:52 |
# Baby, oh, baby # |
| 00:23:59 |
# My sweet baby # |
| 00:24:03 |
# You're the one # |
| 00:24:23 |
What a move. |
| 00:24:25 |
I fell in love right there. |
| 00:24:27 |
But in Vegas, for a girl |
| 00:24:30 |
# What's different about him # |
| 00:24:34 |
# I don't really know # |
| 00:24:36 |
I'm gonna go powder my nose. |
| 00:24:40 |
# No matter how I try # |
| 00:24:44 |
# I just can't make him cry # |
| 00:24:49 |
- Ginger's mission in life was money. |
| 00:24:53 |
- See you, Ginger. |
| 00:24:55 |
She was a queen |
| 00:24:57 |
She brought in high rollers... |
| 00:24:59 |
and helped them spread |
| 00:25:01 |
- Hello. |
| 00:25:03 |
Great, and I have something for you. |
| 00:25:06 |
- And you do. Thank you very much. |
| 00:25:08 |
- I got some lucky pills for you, Andy. |
| 00:25:11 |
Who didn't want Ginger? |
| 00:25:14 |
best liked and |
| 00:25:21 |
Smart hustlers like her |
| 00:25:23 |
for two or three days |
| 00:25:26 |
to the little woman |
| 00:25:28 |
# You only make me glad # |
| 00:25:33 |
# Better listen, little girl # |
| 00:25:36 |
# You're goin' walkin' |
| 00:25:40 |
# I ain't got no love # |
| 00:25:43 |
Any change? |
| 00:25:46 |
Oh, I hit a few games |
| 00:25:51 |
But that was all bullshit. |
| 00:25:54 |
# This heart of stone # |
| 00:25:57 |
- How you doin' tonight? |
| 00:25:59 |
- How are you? |
| 00:26:01 |
- Ginger had the hustlers code. |
| 00:26:04 |
- Thank you. |
| 00:26:07 |
And that's what Vegas |
| 00:26:09 |
- Sixty-eight hundred. |
| 00:26:12 |
- It's kickback city. |
| 00:26:15 |
Thank you. You too. |
| 00:26:20 |
- She took care of the dealers... |
| 00:26:23 |
Pit bosses, floor managers... |
| 00:26:26 |
but, mostly, she took care |
| 00:26:28 |
the guys who could get you anything |
| 00:26:31 |
Ginger took care of the parkers... |
| 00:26:33 |
because they took care |
| 00:26:35 |
- who took care of the metro cops, who let her operate. |
| 00:26:39 |
- No problem. |
| 00:26:42 |
The valet parking job |
| 00:26:44 |
they had to pay off the hotel manager |
| 00:26:48 |
But one thing |
| 00:26:51 |
was that she could have |
| 00:26:53 |
except for her old pimp |
| 00:26:56 |
Gin, you know I got other people |
| 00:27:01 |
I want you to understand |
| 00:27:03 |
in this thing, okay? |
| 00:27:05 |
You're gonna get yours back, |
| 00:27:08 |
- All right, yeah. |
| 00:27:12 |
Where are you? You're |
| 00:27:14 |
- I'm here. |
| 00:27:16 |
Where are you? |
| 00:27:20 |
I'm always here for you. |
| 00:27:22 |
- You're my woman. |
| 00:27:25 |
The Ginger I knew wouldn't |
| 00:27:29 |
- Good luck. |
| 00:27:31 |
He was a moocher, |
| 00:27:33 |
a country club golf hustler, |
| 00:27:36 |
- Chasing dentists for a few bucks. |
| 00:27:39 |
The guy was always broke. |
| 00:27:41 |
And somehow she could never |
| 00:27:44 |
The way Ginger saw it, I guess, |
| 00:27:47 |
Somebody had |
| 00:27:49 |
But nobody |
| 00:27:53 |
If you find any cash in there, |
| 00:27:56 |
I mean, he took care |
| 00:27:58 |
- That's why every badge... |
| 00:28:02 |
- Back home wanted to nail him. |
| 00:28:04 |
- Look at me, pal, I gotta live with her. |
| 00:28:07 |
# Volare # |
| 00:28:09 |
Even after a little vacation, |
| 00:28:11 |
I mean, Frank Marino was there |
| 00:28:14 |
This time they wanted |
| 00:28:16 |
- for some diamond burglary in Antwerp. |
| 00:28:18 |
They were ready to blame him for |
| 00:28:20 |
- Put your things away. |
| 00:28:23 |
- Hold it, hold it. Here. |
| 00:28:26 |
- And he didn't give a damn who knew it. |
| 00:28:28 |
Look at this. Beautiful! |
| 00:28:32 |
I mean, that's what worried me. 'Cause it |
| 00:28:37 |
- All right, we're clear. |
| 00:28:41 |
There's a couple stuck in there. |
| 00:28:43 |
- I'm telling you, they're out! |
| 00:28:46 |
Don't get so defensive, |
| 00:28:50 |
What's that? |
| 00:28:52 |
There's no more. |
| 00:28:55 |
I couldn't wait to get |
| 00:28:58 |
But the bosses didn't send me |
| 00:29:00 |
They sent me out there to make sure |
| 00:29:03 |
And nobody interfered |
| 00:29:08 |
- Hey. |
| 00:29:10 |
Hey, Sammy. |
| 00:29:12 |
- Boy, look at this place, huh? |
| 00:29:16 |
Welcome to Vegas. |
| 00:29:18 |
- Okay, Sammy. |
| 00:29:20 |
Ginger. |
| 00:29:27 |
Holy shit. What've you |
| 00:29:30 |
Honey, come here. |
| 00:29:33 |
This is Jennifer and Nick, |
| 00:29:36 |
- Hi, Jennifer. |
| 00:29:39 |
Okay, Sammy. |
| 00:29:41 |
After we ate, |
| 00:29:44 |
and we took a ride to talk. |
| 00:29:47 |
And then, he hit me with it. |
| 00:29:49 |
What do you think about me |
| 00:29:53 |
What's the matter? |
| 00:29:55 |
- No, of course not. |
| 00:29:59 |
Sure, you have my permission. |
| 00:30:02 |
it's no joke out here, |
| 00:30:04 |
You gotta keep a low profile. |
| 00:30:06 |
It's not like back home. Right off |
| 00:30:09 |
And this sheriff's |
| 00:30:12 |
Even the coppers aren't afraid |
| 00:30:15 |
I don't care. I wanna get away |
| 00:30:17 |
I'm tired of that shit |
| 00:30:19 |
Look at this place. |
| 00:30:21 |
You know what the best part is? |
| 00:30:25 |
There's nobody here to see us. |
| 00:30:28 |
Nick, I gotta tell you. |
| 00:30:30 |
I really gotta be careful. |
| 00:30:32 |
I'm running a licensed place, |
| 00:30:34 |
Don't worry about it. |
| 00:30:37 |
I'm especially not gonna |
| 00:30:42 |
Ace saw Vegas one way... |
| 00:30:45 |
- You call this guy and tell him I'm comin'? |
| 00:30:48 |
But I saw it another. |
| 00:30:51 |
I saw it as untouched. |
| 00:30:53 |
I mean, they had bookies, pimps... |
| 00:30:55 |
and drug dealers |
| 00:30:58 |
Who the fuck |
| 00:31:00 |
So I started gettin' |
| 00:31:02 |
Best of all, |
| 00:31:04 |
I figured out a way |
| 00:31:07 |
Yeah, he had |
| 00:31:09 |
It wasn't very scientific, |
| 00:31:11 |
When he won, he collected; |
| 00:31:13 |
when he lost, he told the bookies |
| 00:31:16 |
What were they gonna do, |
| 00:31:19 |
- Hey, how you doin'? |
| 00:31:22 |
- You got that thing for me? |
| 00:31:24 |
Oh, Nicky. I thought |
| 00:31:26 |
No, no, I'm takin'. |
| 00:31:29 |
- You sure? |
| 00:31:32 |
- I'm a little confused. |
| 00:31:35 |
Maybe if I stick your fuckin' |
| 00:31:38 |
you'll get unconfused. |
| 00:31:40 |
- Gimme the fuckin' money. |
| 00:31:42 |
I didn't mean anything by it. |
| 00:31:44 |
That's why you had it ready. |
| 00:31:47 |
- My fuckin' head. |
| 00:31:50 |
And now Nicholas Santoro will come up |
| 00:31:58 |
George Washington was born... |
| 00:32:00 |
But still, |
| 00:32:03 |
Ginger and I presented |
| 00:32:06 |
like regular Ozzie and Harriets. |
| 00:32:09 |
Beautiful, you got |
| 00:32:11 |
Ace got my son, little Nicky, |
| 00:32:14 |
Turned out to be one |
| 00:32:16 |
was a fuckin' |
| 00:32:19 |
But it didn't matter. |
| 00:32:22 |
He's gotta realize that everything |
| 00:32:23 |
That's exactly what |
| 00:32:26 |
but that's the kind of kid he is. |
| 00:32:30 |
And Nicky being Nicky, |
| 00:32:32 |
Especially at the casino, |
| 00:32:36 |
people got the message. |
| 00:32:38 |
Me, that's why |
| 00:32:40 |
They wanted me to make sure none |
| 00:32:43 |
Like these two fuckin' |
| 00:32:45 |
They were gonna try to bang us |
| 00:32:48 |
- yeah, right, I'm sure. |
| 00:32:50 |
How are you? |
| 00:32:52 |
I'm over here now. |
| 00:32:54 |
- You're over here? |
| 00:33:00 |
We're waiting on Carmine. |
| 00:33:02 |
Yeah, we're looking |
| 00:33:04 |
He was here before. He had |
| 00:33:08 |
- Carmine left? |
| 00:33:12 |
He's gone? |
| 00:33:14 |
He's not here? |
| 00:33:19 |
Carmine's out? |
| 00:33:21 |
I think maybe he went |
| 00:33:23 |
or somewhere else |
| 00:33:28 |
Well, listen, good luck |
| 00:33:31 |
- Ah, thanks, Eddie. |
| 00:33:33 |
- Yeah, good luck to you too. |
| 00:33:36 |
Yeah, they don't |
| 00:33:40 |
Guys from other crews |
| 00:33:43 |
Everybody else, watch out. |
| 00:33:47 |
Like these yokels here... |
| 00:33:49 |
who never heard of Nicky |
| 00:33:51 |
'Cause they're the morons |
| 00:33:53 |
Even after we'd catch them, |
| 00:33:55 |
with beards |
| 00:34:00 |
You can spot these assholes |
| 00:34:03 |
Like this guy, |
| 00:34:06 |
at 500 each with only |
| 00:34:08 |
he's always guessed right. |
| 00:34:13 |
If he wasn't so fuckin' greedy, |
| 00:34:16 |
But in the end, |
| 00:34:23 |
# I got a feelin' |
| 00:34:27 |
# And it ain't too good |
| 00:34:36 |
I saw that the dealer was weak, |
| 00:34:39 |
He just wasn't |
| 00:34:42 |
He was lifting |
| 00:34:57 |
Now, here's this guy reading |
| 00:35:00 |
and signaling his buddy |
| 00:35:11 |
And that's just what |
| 00:35:13 |
They cruise from casino to casino |
| 00:35:17 |
the way lions |
| 00:35:24 |
Operator, this is Mr. R. |
| 00:35:25 |
Get me Armstrong and Friday |
| 00:35:45 |
BJ 19, second base, the beard. |
| 00:35:49 |
Operator, I need Mr. Happy. Loud. |
| 00:35:54 |
# Happy birthday to you # |
| 00:36:01 |
# Happy birthday, dear Jeff # |
| 00:36:05 |
# Happy birthday to you # |
| 00:36:29 |
Man down! |
| 00:36:32 |
Go get medical. |
| 00:36:35 |
He's fine, folks. |
| 00:36:41 |
They never know |
| 00:36:44 |
And if and when |
| 00:36:45 |
that they just got zapped |
| 00:36:48 |
they wish they really did |
| 00:36:53 |
Turns out this guy |
| 00:36:55 |
they were knocking |
| 00:36:58 |
- He's got a wire on him. |
| 00:37:01 |
There it is. |
| 00:37:03 |
- Cheater's justice. |
| 00:37:06 |
No, no, no! |
| 00:37:09 |
I wanted everybody to know... |
| 00:37:12 |
that things were changed |
| 00:37:14 |
We had to make an example |
| 00:37:16 |
that the party was over. |
| 00:37:18 |
I'm just curious. |
| 00:37:20 |
with your right hand. |
| 00:37:23 |
- Can you do that with both hands? |
| 00:37:25 |
- You can't do it with both hands? |
| 00:37:27 |
Can you do it |
| 00:37:29 |
Well, I never tried. |
| 00:37:32 |
- So, you're a righty. |
| 00:37:42 |
Now you're gonna have to learn |
| 00:37:48 |
- It's 100, 110, I think. |
| 00:37:50 |
Okay. |
| 00:37:54 |
Hiya. That's a lot of money |
| 00:37:57 |
Why don't I take him... |
| 00:38:00 |
over to the office |
| 00:38:03 |
A little privacy. |
| 00:38:05 |
send over a nice bottle |
| 00:38:07 |
- Sure will. |
| 00:38:09 |
- By the way, I'm Billy Sherbert, casino manager. |
| 00:38:11 |
- Having a good time? |
| 00:38:14 |
You want to count |
| 00:38:16 |
I have a plane to catch to Cleveland. |
| 00:38:22 |
Look what they did |
| 00:38:26 |
All right, |
| 00:38:29 |
You can either have the money and |
| 00:38:33 |
- What do you want? |
| 00:38:35 |
And don't forget to tell your friends |
| 00:38:39 |
- I'm sorry, I made a bad mistake. |
| 00:38:42 |
'Cause if you come back here, |
| 00:38:44 |
we're gonna break your heads, |
| 00:38:46 |
You see that fuckin' saw? |
| 00:38:51 |
- Get out of here. |
| 00:38:54 |
Throw him in the alley and tell |
| 00:38:57 |
Within no time, |
| 00:38:59 |
We got rid |
| 00:39:01 |
the per was way up, |
| 00:39:04 |
And I decided |
| 00:39:07 |
For a guy who likes sure things... |
| 00:39:10 |
I was about to bet the rest |
| 00:39:12 |
We're not gettin' any younger. |
| 00:39:15 |
Don't you think it's time? |
| 00:39:17 |
Aren't you gettin' tired |
| 00:39:20 |
What, are you trying |
| 00:39:22 |
I'm gonna do you one better. |
| 00:39:24 |
I'm tryin' to marry you. |
| 00:39:27 |
You wanna marry me? |
| 00:39:29 |
I'm serious. |
| 00:39:34 |
I wanna settle down. |
| 00:39:37 |
You got the wrong girl, Sam. |
| 00:39:40 |
I know I'd be a good father, |
| 00:39:42 |
You don't know me. |
| 00:39:44 |
You've known me two, |
| 00:39:46 |
I'm 43 years old. |
| 00:39:49 |
I know you well enough |
| 00:39:53 |
And I can't think |
| 00:39:55 |
And I don't feel like |
| 00:40:00 |
You know a lot of happily |
| 00:40:02 |
'Cause I don't. |
| 00:40:05 |
Yeah, I know all that. |
| 00:40:11 |
I care about you, okay. |
| 00:40:14 |
But I just don't have those kind |
| 00:40:19 |
I'm sorry. |
| 00:40:24 |
- All right, all right. |
| 00:40:28 |
Sam, I'm sorry. |
| 00:40:30 |
No, I... I... |
| 00:40:35 |
I mean... I can grow. |
| 00:40:37 |
As long as there's a mutual respect, |
| 00:40:41 |
I'm realistic. |
| 00:40:45 |
What is love anyway? |
| 00:40:47 |
It's a mutual respect. |
| 00:40:50 |
It's a caring |
| 00:40:54 |
And if we could set up |
| 00:40:57 |
based on that mutual respect... |
| 00:41:00 |
I feel eventually you |
| 00:41:03 |
that I could live |
| 00:41:08 |
If it doesn't work out, |
| 00:41:11 |
then what happens to me? |
| 00:41:14 |
You know I'm doing well now, |
| 00:41:16 |
And so whatever happens... |
| 00:41:18 |
if it doesn't work out |
| 00:41:20 |
I'm gonna make sure you're okay |
| 00:41:23 |
And if there are kids, |
| 00:41:26 |
I'll take care of you |
| 00:41:28 |
What are you pitching me? |
| 00:41:30 |
Just what I said, |
| 00:41:33 |
for the rest of your life, |
| 00:41:39 |
Want to take a chance? |
| 00:41:52 |
When I married Ginger, |
| 00:41:55 |
But I didn't give a fuck. |
| 00:41:58 |
I can change her. |
| 00:42:02 |
It was typical Ace. |
| 00:42:04 |
He invited the biggest people |
| 00:42:06 |
Because he knew they all wanted |
| 00:42:09 |
With Ace, nobody ever got |
| 00:42:13 |
With her, he still |
| 00:42:15 |
They had to have the baby |
| 00:42:17 |
He even made Jenny and me |
| 00:42:20 |
when they went |
| 00:42:22 |
But I didn't mind, |
| 00:42:27 |
Can you feel my eyes on you? |
| 00:42:31 |
Can you feel me |
| 00:42:35 |
Can you feel me |
| 00:42:40 |
Can you feel me in you? |
| 00:42:43 |
In your heart? |
| 00:42:48 |
Don't make me come there. |
| 00:42:50 |
Answer me. |
| 00:42:52 |
I love you. |
| 00:42:54 |
But, baby, do you know |
| 00:42:57 |
- No, Lester. |
| 00:43:00 |
This is the best thing I can do |
| 00:43:04 |
That's right. |
| 00:43:06 |
Promise? |
| 00:43:09 |
I wish you all the luck |
| 00:43:11 |
You do? |
| 00:43:13 |
Yeah, I do. It's the best thing |
| 00:43:16 |
I mean this. |
| 00:43:19 |
You have real security. |
| 00:43:22 |
Sweetheart, you're gonna be |
| 00:43:25 |
Come on. This is great for us. |
| 00:43:27 |
I'm always gonna be here for you. |
| 00:43:31 |
I ain't going no place. |
| 00:43:33 |
I'm lookin' at you right now. |
| 00:43:35 |
I'm seein' you for the very first time, |
| 00:43:38 |
I can feel my heart click. |
| 00:43:40 |
I see you 14 years old. |
| 00:43:43 |
I see you the first second |
| 00:43:46 |
I see you, |
| 00:43:50 |
stupid braces on your teeth. |
| 00:43:52 |
- Okay, then. |
| 00:43:55 |
Talk to you later. |
| 00:43:58 |
Bye. |
| 00:44:04 |
You all right? |
| 00:44:06 |
Yeah. |
| 00:44:09 |
Why are you crying? |
| 00:44:12 |
I'm not crying. |
| 00:44:19 |
Maybe you shouldn't |
| 00:44:22 |
I'm okay, I just... |
| 00:44:28 |
You just have to understand. |
| 00:44:30 |
I've been with Lester |
| 00:44:36 |
I just wanted to say good-bye. |
| 00:44:39 |
I just... I don't... |
| 00:44:42 |
I think I have |
| 00:44:47 |
Okay? |
| 00:44:49 |
It's all right. |
| 00:44:52 |
That part of your life |
| 00:44:55 |
- Right? |
| 00:44:58 |
You're with me now. |
| 00:45:01 |
- Yeah. |
| 00:45:03 |
Uh-huh. |
| 00:45:05 |
- You're sure? |
| 00:45:09 |
Yeah. |
| 00:45:15 |
- Let's go. Let's go back in. |
| 00:45:34 |
Oh! |
| 00:45:37 |
Tsk. It's great. |
| 00:45:44 |
It's great. |
| 00:45:50 |
It's all my stuff. |
| 00:45:53 |
You brought all my stuff! |
| 00:45:56 |
I can't... |
| 00:45:59 |
Try it on. It's yours. |
| 00:46:02 |
You're kidding. |
| 00:46:05 |
Oh, my God. |
| 00:46:08 |
It's chinchilla. |
| 00:46:10 |
Oh, it's so soft. |
| 00:46:13 |
Nice, isn't it? |
| 00:46:19 |
No one's ever been |
| 00:46:30 |
Oh! |
| 00:46:33 |
Oh, my God! |
| 00:46:36 |
So, do you think |
| 00:46:38 |
if I wear these |
| 00:46:40 |
You do whatever |
| 00:46:43 |
Do I keep my promises or |
| 00:46:45 |
So wonderful. The jewelry's |
| 00:46:48 |
We shouldn't keep this in the house. |
| 00:46:52 |
Come on. Can I keep this one |
| 00:46:55 |
Pay attention to me. |
| 00:46:58 |
- What I'm gonna tell you is very important. |
| 00:47:01 |
All this stuff |
| 00:47:03 |
Money, this doesn't mean |
| 00:47:06 |
I have to be able |
| 00:47:19 |
With over a million |
| 00:47:21 |
tucked in a bank in Vegas, only |
| 00:47:25 |
She loved that shit. |
| 00:47:27 |
But a guy in my line of work has |
| 00:47:31 |
Crooked cops and kidnappers, |
| 00:47:34 |
Need any help with that, |
| 00:47:37 |
So I put two million in cash |
| 00:47:39 |
under the name |
| 00:47:42 |
This was strictly my shakedown |
| 00:47:50 |
And since I'd either be in jail |
| 00:47:52 |
when I needed the money |
| 00:47:55 |
I gave Ginger the only key to the cash |
| 00:48:00 |
- # I'll take you there # |
| 00:48:03 |
# Callin' for mercy # |
| 00:48:05 |
- # I'll take you there # |
| 00:48:09 |
# I'll take you there # |
| 00:48:12 |
This is a signature card. |
| 00:48:15 |
So once she signs those papers, |
| 00:48:17 |
to have total access to the box, |
| 00:48:21 |
That's right. |
| 00:48:24 |
Sam, let me ask you a question. |
| 00:48:27 |
You must really trust your wife. |
| 00:48:32 |
Yeah, sure I do. Why? |
| 00:48:35 |
It's good. |
| 00:48:37 |
Tell you the truth, |
| 00:48:40 |
- # Let me take you there # |
| 00:48:44 |
- # Ain't no smilin' faces # |
| 00:48:50 |
# Never will I know happiness # |
| 00:48:56 |
With Ginger and the money |
| 00:49:00 |
And to play it safe, |
| 00:49:02 |
and made myself |
| 00:49:04 |
This way nobody would bother me |
| 00:49:07 |
I mean Vegas was |
| 00:49:10 |
Trouble was, Nicky was dreaming |
| 00:49:12 |
I put money out on the street |
| 00:49:16 |
- Don't make us come lookin' for you. |
| 00:49:18 |
You won't have to look |
| 00:49:20 |
I appreciate it. |
| 00:49:22 |
They were degenerate gamblers, |
| 00:49:25 |
In no time I had half the dealers |
| 00:49:29 |
Then, I started bustin' out |
| 00:49:33 |
It was so obvious. |
| 00:49:35 |
- All of Nicky's half-assed mechanics were |
| 00:49:40 |
Signaling back and forth. |
| 00:49:43 |
Why you cryin' |
| 00:49:46 |
Nicky thought nobody was watching him. |
| 00:49:49 |
And I didn't want |
| 00:49:52 |
- Four aces. |
| 00:49:56 |
If I didn't have |
| 00:49:59 |
I wished to God Nicky and |
| 00:50:03 |
What am I gonna do? |
| 00:50:06 |
Nicky's a made guy, and I'm not. |
| 00:50:09 |
Be careful. Gaming agents |
| 00:50:11 |
So I'm lucky. I'm not allowed |
| 00:50:13 |
You've been lucky all week. |
| 00:50:16 |
Ace was so fuckin' worried |
| 00:50:20 |
he forgot what we were doin' |
| 00:50:24 |
A million times I wanted to yell |
| 00:50:26 |
"This is Las Vegas. |
| 00:50:28 |
We're supposed to be |
| 00:50:30 |
you dumb fuckin' hebe. " |
| 00:50:37 |
I don't give a shit |
| 00:50:39 |
Tell him to take |
| 00:50:41 |
What's he think this is, |
| 00:50:44 |
Sir, would you mind |
| 00:50:49 |
Yeah, I would mind. |
| 00:50:53 |
Fuckin' asshole won't budge. |
| 00:50:55 |
Call security. |
| 00:51:01 |
- How are you? |
| 00:51:04 |
Wanna do me a favor? Take your feet off |
| 00:51:07 |
Fuck you! |
| 00:51:13 |
I want you to exit this guy |
| 00:51:15 |
and use his head |
| 00:51:18 |
Sir, you're gonna have to leave. |
| 00:51:22 |
Bullshit. I ain't goin' |
| 00:51:25 |
- Bullshit. You're outta here. |
| 00:51:27 |
You know who you're |
| 00:51:30 |
You fucking faggot! Do you know |
| 00:51:33 |
Leave me alone! |
| 00:51:36 |
- Come on! |
| 00:51:39 |
Sure enough, an hour later, |
| 00:51:41 |
Ace, what happened over there? |
| 00:51:45 |
No, I didn't know that. |
| 00:51:47 |
I walked over to him politely, |
| 00:51:50 |
- Then he called me a faggot. |
| 00:51:53 |
- I threw that cocksucker out. |
| 00:51:56 |
You called my friend a faggot? |
| 00:51:59 |
- Is that what you did? |
| 00:52:02 |
Come here. Come here. |
| 00:52:06 |
You go over there. |
| 00:52:08 |
You better hope |
| 00:52:10 |
If you get outta line again, |
| 00:52:14 |
you won't be able |
| 00:52:17 |
Fuckin' hick. |
| 00:52:19 |
This guy obviously doesn't know |
| 00:52:22 |
He doesn't know that |
| 00:52:25 |
I mean, he's already |
| 00:52:27 |
But if you could do me a favor |
| 00:52:30 |
I swear he'll never |
| 00:52:32 |
If he does it again, |
| 00:52:35 |
I don't care what it is, |
| 00:52:37 |
I'm sorry about this, really. |
| 00:52:39 |
All right, Ace? |
| 00:52:43 |
You took your boots off? |
| 00:52:47 |
You shit-kickin', |
| 00:52:50 |
You fuck me up over there, |
| 00:52:53 |
- Go over and apologize. |
| 00:52:59 |
# You're dear to me |
| 00:53:01 |
You know, |
| 00:53:04 |
Especially when |
| 00:53:06 |
Like when he hired that Jonathan and David |
| 00:53:09 |
by building them a new stage |
| 00:53:13 |
But I'll tell you, he knew |
| 00:53:16 |
He knew all |
| 00:53:18 |
He brought over the whole |
| 00:53:21 |
but he forgot how lazy them |
| 00:53:24 |
He had to weigh 'em in once a week to make |
| 00:53:28 |
She's still eight pounds over. |
| 00:53:30 |
- What's the reason for this? |
| 00:53:32 |
Never mind the "sir. " |
| 00:53:36 |
I'm trying to use respect. |
| 00:53:38 |
Mr. Rothstein is good enough for you. |
| 00:53:41 |
Well, sometimes when you put |
| 00:53:44 |
All you do is give me answers. |
| 00:53:47 |
I guess she's frightened. If she doesn't |
| 00:53:51 |
That's right, she will get fired. |
| 00:53:54 |
- It's been our policy... |
| 00:53:57 |
- This woman's an institution. |
| 00:53:59 |
Hey, |
| 00:54:02 |
I mean, he does |
| 00:54:04 |
This is the only town in the country |
| 00:54:08 |
So why not take advantage, right? |
| 00:54:10 |
So, he took bookie joints |
| 00:54:13 |
and then opened them up |
| 00:54:15 |
Within a few years |
| 00:54:18 |
he had every casino on the strip |
| 00:54:20 |
Between my innovations... |
| 00:54:23 |
# Look like they're taking |
| 00:54:25 |
and Nicky's dedication |
| 00:54:28 |
# Steamboats are comin' and |
| 00:54:31 |
I soon had the best |
| 00:54:33 |
# Moon is shinin' |
| 00:54:35 |
You gotta watch yourself. |
| 00:54:40 |
Why? |
| 00:54:42 |
I'm hearing things |
| 00:54:45 |
The sheriff's lookin' |
| 00:54:47 |
That Black Book |
| 00:54:49 |
They got two names |
| 00:54:51 |
and one of 'em |
| 00:54:54 |
If they put you in that book, |
| 00:54:57 |
You will not be able |
| 00:54:59 |
I'm trying to make a living, |
| 00:55:02 |
I'm just tellin' you. |
| 00:55:05 |
All right. |
| 00:55:11 |
Mrs. Rothstein, |
| 00:55:14 |
Thank you. |
| 00:55:19 |
For his hard work |
| 00:55:22 |
and the new life blood |
| 00:55:25 |
Sam has established himself |
| 00:55:28 |
of the gaming community. |
| 00:55:30 |
As the head of the |
| 00:55:33 |
it's my pleasure |
| 00:55:35 |
to the Vegas Valley |
| 00:55:43 |
Back home, they would've put me |
| 00:55:47 |
But out here, |
| 00:55:50 |
It is with great pleasure that I accept |
| 00:55:54 |
for charitable donations |
| 00:55:57 |
Congratulations, sweetheart. |
| 00:55:59 |
Sam raised more than |
| 00:56:03 |
But my greatest pleasure was watching |
| 00:56:07 |
- They all loved her. |
| 00:56:11 |
She could be the most |
| 00:56:14 |
People loved |
| 00:56:16 |
You've got to bring Amy |
| 00:56:19 |
We'd love to have you there. |
| 00:56:21 |
- Yes, okay. |
| 00:56:23 |
She made everybody feel good. |
| 00:56:26 |
# That's Stella by starlight # |
| 00:56:30 |
Congratulations, Sam. |
| 00:56:33 |
Oh, thanks. |
| 00:56:35 |
- Hello, Mrs. Rothstein. How are you? |
| 00:56:39 |
You're one of the most |
| 00:56:42 |
You're a lucky man, |
| 00:56:47 |
Thank you. |
| 00:56:49 |
He was a young kid |
| 00:56:52 |
Nice kid. |
| 00:56:54 |
What balls on this fuckin' kid! |
| 00:56:57 |
Ginger had that effect on people. |
| 00:57:02 |
Do you wanna see this one? |
| 00:57:06 |
Daddy gave me all this jewelry |
| 00:57:10 |
- But as much as they loved her... |
| 00:57:13 |
They didn't know |
| 00:57:16 |
Look at this. Look at this. |
| 00:57:20 |
And with Ginger happy, I was able |
| 00:57:24 |
Loose machines are |
| 00:57:27 |
What are they doin' back there? |
| 00:57:30 |
- Okay, I'll... |
| 00:57:34 |
- Well... |
| 00:57:37 |
- No wonder the drop is off. |
| 00:57:39 |
- The action is in the front. Bring 'em up front. |
| 00:57:42 |
Listen to me very carefully. There are |
| 00:57:45 |
The right way, the wrong way |
| 00:57:48 |
- You understand? |
| 00:57:52 |
- And thank you. |
| 00:57:56 |
You're the slots manager. |
| 00:57:59 |
Dang, you are right, |
| 00:58:02 |
So I ended up working... |
| 00:58:06 |
Ginger was the one who wound up |
| 00:58:09 |
Come with me, please. |
| 00:58:13 |
What did you say to that |
| 00:58:15 |
I told him I was |
| 00:58:18 |
Well, you might |
| 00:58:24 |
Well, it wasn't long... |
| 00:58:26 |
before what I was afraid |
| 00:58:28 |
Nicky managed to get himself banned |
| 00:58:32 |
And from then on, I couldn't be seen |
| 00:58:36 |
What the fuck is that |
| 00:58:39 |
"He will be ejected from |
| 00:58:43 |
And the casinos can be fined |
| 00:58:48 |
every time he shows up. " |
| 00:58:50 |
- You believe this shit? |
| 00:58:53 |
"Because of notorious |
| 00:58:57 |
Motherfucker! |
| 00:59:00 |
Is there any way |
| 00:59:03 |
No, there's no way. |
| 00:59:05 |
Let's say, for instance... |
| 00:59:09 |
I wanna go in a restaurant, |
| 00:59:12 |
to get one of those |
| 00:59:14 |
Forget it. You can't even |
| 00:59:18 |
That's how serious it is. |
| 00:59:20 |
In other words, |
| 00:59:24 |
In so many words, yes. |
| 00:59:26 |
It just didn't sink into his head |
| 00:59:30 |
Not being able to go |
| 00:59:33 |
but being in this book etched your name |
| 00:59:38 |
I mean, you're listed in there |
| 00:59:42 |
I gotta do something. |
| 00:59:46 |
They're not gettin' rid of me. |
| 00:59:48 |
Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em. |
| 00:59:55 |
So, once they pulled that shit... |
| 00:59:58 |
I started doin' my own things |
| 01:00:01 |
To keep an eye on things, I brought in my |
| 01:00:06 |
and started knockin' over |
| 01:00:09 |
bookmakers... |
| 01:00:12 |
I had a good fuckin' crew goin' |
| 01:00:14 |
I had Sal Fusco, |
| 01:00:18 |
Jack Hardy. He worked for a safe company |
| 01:00:23 |
And then there was Bernie Blue. |
| 01:00:28 |
It was like old times. |
| 01:00:31 |
And I opened up my own jewelry |
| 01:00:35 |
Sometimes I used to go along |
| 01:00:39 |
But I didn't like the people |
| 01:00:42 |
so I used to turn |
| 01:00:45 |
- What's takin' so long? |
| 01:00:48 |
- It's working. |
| 01:00:52 |
Some of these stones |
| 01:00:55 |
Tell Pepe if he's switching stones on us, |
| 01:00:58 |
Yeah? |
| 01:01:01 |
- They're in Penthouse K. |
| 01:01:03 |
- They checked in alone. |
| 01:01:05 |
- Yes. Don't worry. |
| 01:01:08 |
He had tipsters |
| 01:01:11 |
- But you got to hurry. |
| 01:01:14 |
- Valet parkers. |
| 01:01:16 |
Okay, I'll tell him. |
| 01:01:18 |
- Pit bosses. |
| 01:01:20 |
- 1230. Right. |
| 01:01:22 |
- Mint condition coins. |
| 01:01:25 |
And they all got |
| 01:01:27 |
Car's coming. |
| 01:01:33 |
They were very careful. |
| 01:01:35 |
They always bypassed |
| 01:01:38 |
if not, they'd drill enough holes to knock |
| 01:01:43 |
Nicky was grabbing |
| 01:01:45 |
Nobody out there was expecting |
| 01:01:51 |
For Nicky, Las Vegas |
| 01:01:53 |
I just got a shipment |
| 01:01:56 |
What the fuck they expect |
| 01:02:00 |
You know, this diamond |
| 01:02:02 |
- There's no flaws. |
| 01:02:06 |
You better clean your loupe, |
| 01:02:09 |
Whenever we got local merch... |
| 01:02:12 |
we'd usually send it |
| 01:02:15 |
I had a couple of sand niggers |
| 01:02:18 |
What, are you gonna have |
| 01:02:20 |
I know his language. |
| 01:02:22 |
Forty thousand dollars. |
| 01:02:25 |
Twenty thousand. |
| 01:02:27 |
He suddenly talks English. Let's talk |
| 01:02:31 |
I actually turned |
| 01:02:34 |
where I kept |
| 01:02:37 |
I couldn't leave it |
| 01:02:40 |
in case we got raided |
| 01:02:42 |
or if my crew got cute. |
| 01:02:44 |
I had the only key. |
| 01:02:47 |
She used to fall asleep |
| 01:02:50 |
This stuff was all mine. |
| 01:02:54 |
Actually, I couldn't, because I wasn't |
| 01:02:57 |
The bosses were making so much |
| 01:03:00 |
that they didn't want anybody |
| 01:03:04 |
You gave all the guys |
| 01:03:06 |
- I took care of everybody. |
| 01:03:08 |
That's why there was no real organized |
| 01:03:13 |
But how much cash |
| 01:03:16 |
You have to understand, |
| 01:03:18 |
that in a venture |
| 01:03:21 |
you have to be prepared |
| 01:03:23 |
So I put some of the money into legitimate |
| 01:03:27 |
You will try to push it through, |
| 01:03:31 |
- Yes. |
| 01:03:34 |
Then I put some more money into |
| 01:03:37 |
- Is that the last one? |
| 01:03:39 |
I had my kid brother, |
| 01:03:43 |
Fuckers. |
| 01:03:49 |
- Here you go, guys. |
| 01:03:51 |
- Thanks a lot. |
| 01:03:53 |
Choke on it, motherfucker. |
| 01:03:55 |
- Hey, Dom. |
| 01:03:57 |
Yeah, Nicky loved restaurants. |
| 01:04:01 |
And over the years, |
| 01:04:04 |
In Vegas, he had the Leaning Tower. |
| 01:04:07 |
He had politicians, showgirls and movie |
| 01:04:12 |
That show over at the Flamingo |
| 01:04:14 |
By the way, Sammy said, whenever |
| 01:04:18 |
- Made a messenger out of you too, huh? |
| 01:04:21 |
- He does it to everybody. Enjoy your dinner. |
| 01:04:24 |
But I gotta tell you, the thing Nicky |
| 01:04:27 |
I mean, to them, |
| 01:04:30 |
- You walk past me? |
| 01:04:32 |
- Hey, Shelly. How are you? |
| 01:04:34 |
- And this is Stacy. |
| 01:04:37 |
- This is Nick. Wanna have dinner? |
| 01:04:39 |
Let's check the kitchen first. |
| 01:04:43 |
Come on. I'll show you. |
| 01:04:46 |
I get bread from back home. |
| 01:04:49 |
And you can always tell a great kitchen |
| 01:04:53 |
That's the secret. |
| 01:04:56 |
Out here they got that pink veal. |
| 01:05:00 |
Now, pink veal, you can pound |
| 01:05:04 |
It'll never, ever get tender. |
| 01:05:07 |
I left here with the money. |
| 01:05:10 |
A couple guys, I owe them. |
| 01:05:13 |
- That's what I did. |
| 01:05:16 |
- Yeah. |
| 01:05:18 |
You know you're a lyin' lowlife, |
| 01:05:23 |
You know that's what you are? |
| 01:05:25 |
I gave you money to pay |
| 01:05:27 |
and buy groceries, |
| 01:05:30 |
Your wife called Frankie and |
| 01:05:33 |
And you didn't gamble |
| 01:05:35 |
- No? You didn't? |
| 01:05:37 |
Don't fuck with me, Al! |
| 01:05:41 |
You wanna embarrass me and make |
| 01:05:44 |
Tell me you gambled |
| 01:05:47 |
I'll give you the fuckin' money |
| 01:05:50 |
Did you gamble? Huh? |
| 01:05:55 |
Fuckin' degenerate. |
| 01:05:58 |
Fuckin' kids at home. |
| 01:06:03 |
Here. Get the fuck outta here. |
| 01:06:06 |
- Thanks, Nick. |
| 01:06:08 |
Let me find out you fucked up. |
| 01:06:11 |
How many of these |
| 01:06:13 |
- Two. |
| 01:06:15 |
But around 6:30 in the morning, |
| 01:06:18 |
no matter where he was |
| 01:06:21 |
he always went home to make breakfast |
| 01:06:24 |
I know you like this. |
| 01:06:27 |
- Not a lot. You know why, right? |
| 01:06:29 |
- Why? |
| 01:06:32 |
What a smart kid you are. |
| 01:06:37 |
Every couple of weeks, |
| 01:06:40 |
back to the bosses |
| 01:06:42 |
Not a bit piece, |
| 01:06:45 |
They were 1,500 miles away, and I don't |
| 01:06:48 |
Their drop was |
| 01:06:50 |
where Remo and the guys used |
| 01:06:53 |
- Remo. |
| 01:06:55 |
The cops knew, |
| 01:06:58 |
Nicky sends |
| 01:07:00 |
I knew how |
| 01:07:02 |
Whenever they gave me |
| 01:07:05 |
I would carry things out |
| 01:07:08 |
Like the time Tony Dogs, who's supposed |
| 01:07:13 |
shot up one of Remo's bars. |
| 01:07:19 |
Here's a fuckin' guy |
| 01:07:23 |
and a poor fuckin' waitress who was just |
| 01:07:29 |
I mean, this guy's just beggin' |
| 01:07:33 |
Frankie, I want the names |
| 01:07:37 |
And I don't care what you have |
| 01:07:40 |
- I'll take care of it, Remo. |
| 01:07:42 |
To be truthful with you, |
| 01:07:46 |
He was one of the toughest |
| 01:07:48 |
This son of a bitch was tough. |
| 01:07:51 |
For two days and two fuckin' nights |
| 01:07:55 |
We even stuck ice picks |
| 01:07:57 |
- Better give me a name soon, or I'm gonna give him yours, Frank. |
| 01:08:01 |
- But he never talked. |
| 01:08:04 |
In the end, I had to put |
| 01:08:07 |
Dogs, Dogs, |
| 01:08:10 |
Listen to me, Anthony. |
| 01:08:13 |
I'll squash your fuckin' head like a |
| 01:08:17 |
Don't make me have to do this. |
| 01:08:19 |
Don't make me be a bad guy. |
| 01:08:22 |
Fuck you! |
| 01:08:25 |
This motherfucker. You believe this? |
| 01:08:28 |
Fuck me? Fuck me? |
| 01:08:31 |
Fuck my mother? |
| 01:08:34 |
You motherfucker, you! Huh? |
| 01:08:37 |
- Oh, God! |
| 01:08:40 |
Charlie M. |
| 01:08:42 |
- Charlie M.? |
| 01:08:44 |
You make me pop your |
| 01:08:47 |
to protect that piece of shit, |
| 01:08:50 |
You dumb motherfucker! |
| 01:08:52 |
Kill me, you fuck! |
| 01:08:54 |
You motherfucker, you! |
| 01:08:57 |
Frankie, do him |
| 01:08:59 |
The word got around |
| 01:09:02 |
there was a real |
| 01:09:05 |
Nicky was the new boss |
| 01:09:07 |
Charlie M. |
| 01:09:13 |
Four reels, sevens, |
| 01:09:16 |
Do you have any idea |
| 01:09:19 |
It's gotta be |
| 01:09:21 |
Three fuckin' jackpots in 20 minutes! |
| 01:09:25 |
It happened so quick. Three guys won. |
| 01:09:28 |
- You didn't see the scam? |
| 01:09:32 |
Yes, there is. |
| 01:09:34 |
It's a casino. |
| 01:09:37 |
Ward, you're pissing me off. |
| 01:09:41 |
You know goddamn well somebody had to get into |
| 01:09:45 |
The probability on one machine |
| 01:09:48 |
On three machines in a row, |
| 01:09:51 |
What's the matter with you? |
| 01:09:53 |
Didn't you see you were being set up |
| 01:09:58 |
I think you're overreacting. |
| 01:10:01 |
Listen, you fuckin' yokel. I've been |
| 01:10:04 |
- Get your ass outta here. |
| 01:10:07 |
I'm firing you. |
| 01:10:10 |
- You might regret this. |
| 01:10:13 |
This is not the way |
| 01:10:16 |
If you didn't know, |
| 01:10:18 |
If you did know, |
| 01:10:19 |
Either way, you're out. |
| 01:10:23 |
The guy's history |
| 01:10:26 |
But you can't fire him. His |
| 01:10:30 |
Everybody with cowboy boots is a fuckin' county |
| 01:10:35 |
This is his state. |
| 01:10:37 |
His brother-in-law runs |
| 01:10:40 |
You're in the finances, |
| 01:10:43 |
But you are not on the floor. |
| 01:10:46 |
I've got thousands of players. |
| 01:10:49 |
They're all looking |
| 01:10:51 |
I have to let them know I'm watching |
| 01:10:55 |
There is not one single thing |
| 01:10:59 |
- Look at yours. Look at that. |
| 01:11:02 |
Look at this. |
| 01:11:04 |
Look how many blueberries |
| 01:11:07 |
What are you talking about? |
| 01:11:09 |
If you don't do it yourself, |
| 01:11:12 |
- Where are you going? |
| 01:11:16 |
From now on, I want you to put an equal |
| 01:11:20 |
An equal amount of blueberries |
| 01:11:23 |
Do you know how long |
| 01:11:25 |
I don't care how long it takes. |
| 01:11:33 |
Just a little. |
| 01:11:37 |
Oh, boy, look. |
| 01:11:40 |
Wanna come to Mommy? |
| 01:11:43 |
I need to talk to you. |
| 01:11:47 |
- What do you need? |
| 01:11:50 |
Well, I need a lot. |
| 01:11:54 |
Why don't you take it |
| 01:11:56 |
I would, you know, Sam, |
| 01:12:00 |
Well, I need more than that. |
| 01:12:03 |
Twenty-five thousand? |
| 01:12:07 |
- Yeah. |
| 01:12:10 |
What's the difference? |
| 01:12:13 |
Well, I gotta ask you. |
| 01:12:15 |
You're not asking |
| 01:12:17 |
We don't have to turn this |
| 01:12:20 |
Okay? We don't have |
| 01:12:23 |
It's important to me. |
| 01:12:26 |
Who's fighting? |
| 01:12:32 |
Why can't you tell me |
| 01:12:38 |
Well, you know what? |
| 01:12:42 |
My wife comes to me and asks me |
| 01:12:45 |
- No. |
| 01:12:48 |
It's not the money. It's just, why do you |
| 01:12:52 |
Sam, I've been independent my whole life. |
| 01:12:57 |
- Now you're making me beg. |
| 01:13:00 |
And you're embarrassing me. |
| 01:13:03 |
You're asking me for 25,000. |
| 01:13:06 |
I want to just |
| 01:13:09 |
You know, |
| 01:13:11 |
I have to be able |
| 01:13:14 |
Do you understand? |
| 01:13:17 |
Can I trust you? |
| 01:13:22 |
Can I trust you? |
| 01:13:26 |
Can I trust you? |
| 01:13:30 |
You can trust me. |
| 01:13:32 |
Good. So then you could tell me |
| 01:13:39 |
# You've got to # |
| 01:13:43 |
# Give a little # |
| 01:13:46 |
# Take a little # |
| 01:13:49 |
# And let your poor heart # |
| 01:13:54 |
# Break a little # |
| 01:13:57 |
Yeah, she's leaving the bank now. |
| 01:13:59 |
All right, |
| 01:14:02 |
What is that? |
| 01:14:04 |
I know that look. |
| 01:14:07 |
It means I got the money. |
| 01:14:09 |
# You've got to # |
| 01:14:12 |
- # Give a little # |
| 01:14:16 |
# Take a little ## |
| 01:14:27 |
How are you doin', Les? |
| 01:14:30 |
Sam. |
| 01:14:36 |
From my recollection, |
| 01:14:40 |
the golf hustler, |
| 01:14:46 |
If I'm wrong, |
| 01:14:48 |
'Cause I never knew you |
| 01:14:51 |
But if you are, |
| 01:14:54 |
Here, take mine too. |
| 01:14:56 |
Go ahead. Take it. |
| 01:14:59 |
She's my wife. |
| 01:15:03 |
You did know that, didn't you? |
| 01:15:07 |
- Hey, look at me. |
| 01:15:10 |
You know, yeah? |
| 01:15:14 |
But if you ever |
| 01:15:18 |
to take her money, |
| 01:15:20 |
That way |
| 01:15:23 |
Be a man. |
| 01:15:25 |
Now, you wanna do me a favor? |
| 01:15:29 |
I wanna be alone with my wife. |
| 01:15:33 |
- And you want to be free. |
| 01:15:35 |
Why, you feel |
| 01:15:37 |
much too good |
| 01:15:40 |
- Fuckin' piece of shit. |
| 01:15:44 |
- # That's the story # |
| 01:15:47 |
- # That's the glory of love # |
| 01:15:52 |
Remember when you called him |
| 01:15:55 |
He didn't say, "Don't get married. |
| 01:15:58 |
- He didn't say that to you, did he? |
| 01:16:01 |
No. Instead, what did he say? |
| 01:16:05 |
"Fuck him. Take him |
| 01:16:09 |
Come here. |
| 01:16:12 |
- # That's the story # |
| 01:16:18 |
No! No! No! |
| 01:16:22 |
No! Make 'em stop it! |
| 01:16:27 |
No! No! |
| 01:16:32 |
It's not his fault! |
| 01:16:43 |
No! |
| 01:16:47 |
- Fuck! Fuck! |
| 01:16:59 |
Do it yourself, |
| 01:17:03 |
He's such a prick! |
| 01:17:05 |
He had some guy |
| 01:17:08 |
He didn't want |
| 01:17:11 |
Oh, no, he didn't want |
| 01:17:14 |
So why did he |
| 01:17:18 |
Tell me. |
| 01:17:20 |
- I know it wasn't a nice thing to do... |
| 01:17:23 |
You gotta understand it. He doesn't know |
| 01:17:27 |
No. No. I told him all about this guy |
| 01:17:32 |
- This is no fucking surprise. |
| 01:17:36 |
He's just a friend of mine |
| 01:17:40 |
You know, the first time |
| 01:17:44 |
I never saw him so happy. |
| 01:17:46 |
I mean, I know he's |
| 01:17:50 |
but I never seen him act |
| 01:17:54 |
I think he's crazy about you. |
| 01:17:57 |
Come on. I went into this |
| 01:18:01 |
I knew the bottom |
| 01:18:04 |
You don't think I'm gonna |
| 01:18:07 |
if I don't think I'm gonna |
| 01:18:10 |
- Sure, I can see that. |
| 01:18:12 |
So I put aside some jewelry for me. |
| 01:18:16 |
You mean like a lot |
| 01:18:19 |
You want to steal it? |
| 01:18:22 |
No. I'm just curious. |
| 01:18:25 |
how much he would put |
| 01:18:28 |
I'm told it's worth |
| 01:18:31 |
Well, there you go. |
| 01:18:34 |
A million dollars in jewelry. |
| 01:18:36 |
Does that tell you |
| 01:18:39 |
I should've never married him. |
| 01:18:43 |
Triple Gemini. Duality. |
| 01:18:45 |
Gemini is the snake, you know. |
| 01:18:49 |
I mean it. |
| 01:18:52 |
I know what you mean. |
| 01:18:56 |
You know, this is probably not... |
| 01:18:59 |
- This is probably not what you want to hear... |
| 01:19:02 |
'Cause you're a little upset, |
| 01:19:06 |
But I think you should try to make the |
| 01:19:10 |
He could've killed him! Okay? He could've |
| 01:19:14 |
It's not like |
| 01:19:17 |
He makes me sneak around to see |
| 01:19:20 |
I guess it's 'cause he loves |
| 01:19:24 |
He gives a fuck what I do. |
| 01:19:27 |
Look, I'll try to find out |
| 01:19:31 |
- When I see him, I'll talk to him. |
| 01:19:34 |
- All right? |
| 01:19:36 |
Thanks. Thanks |
| 01:19:41 |
Take it easy with this shit. |
| 01:19:44 |
You're a beautiful girl. I've seen a lot |
| 01:19:49 |
You're so nice. |
| 01:19:52 |
Come on, now. I don't |
| 01:19:56 |
- # These eyes before us # |
| 01:20:00 |
# Just what the truth is # |
| 01:20:03 |
- Thank you. |
| 01:20:05 |
# I can't say anymore # |
| 01:20:08 |
# 'Cause I love you # |
| 01:20:12 |
# Yes, I love you... ## |
| 01:20:18 |
Mr. Rothstein, County Commissioner |
| 01:20:22 |
- Give me a minute. |
| 01:20:42 |
Mr. Webb, can I |
| 01:20:44 |
Uh, no. No, thank you, |
| 01:20:47 |
Okay, send him in. |
| 01:20:49 |
- Mr. Rothstein, I'm Pat Webb. |
| 01:20:53 |
- Hey, it is a pleasure. |
| 01:20:56 |
Oh, thank you, sir. |
| 01:20:59 |
Hey, all that money |
| 01:21:02 |
I appreciate you takin' the time |
| 01:21:05 |
- Why don't you have a seat, hmm? |
| 01:21:08 |
I come here personally |
| 01:21:12 |
any fracas |
| 01:21:14 |
See, uh, maybe |
| 01:21:17 |
but Don Ward is a very |
| 01:21:20 |
He's got lots of friends. Nice family |
| 01:21:24 |
Now friends vote. |
| 01:21:28 |
That's important |
| 01:21:31 |
And if you'll think about |
| 01:21:35 |
and you'll forgive me |
| 01:21:38 |
maybe he did not |
| 01:21:42 |
I'm sorry, but he knew |
| 01:21:44 |
on three big machines in a row, |
| 01:21:46 |
That means, either he was in on it or he |
| 01:21:51 |
Either way, I cannot have |
| 01:21:54 |
Before we point the dirty |
| 01:21:57 |
we better be sure |
| 01:22:00 |
Believe me, if I could prove it, |
| 01:22:03 |
Are, uh... |
| 01:22:06 |
Are we certain that you want |
| 01:22:10 |
eyeballing your record and |
| 01:22:13 |
I think you're way out of line |
| 01:22:16 |
What you're saying is libelous, and you're |
| 01:22:21 |
I went way out of my way |
| 01:22:24 |
He's weak. He's incompetent. |
| 01:22:28 |
There's not much more |
| 01:22:30 |
You have got me there. |
| 01:22:33 |
Old Don is as useless |
| 01:22:36 |
But he is my brother-in-law... |
| 01:22:40 |
and I would look on it |
| 01:22:43 |
if you'd think some more |
| 01:22:46 |
I can't do that. |
| 01:22:48 |
I appreciate the fact |
| 01:22:51 |
and I do want to help you |
| 01:22:54 |
I know who you are, |
| 01:22:57 |
Well, could there be |
| 01:23:01 |
farther down the trough? |
| 01:23:06 |
I'm sorry. |
| 01:23:08 |
He's too incompetent, and the bottom |
| 01:23:14 |
Okay. Thanks. |
| 01:23:17 |
Well... you know, |
| 01:23:21 |
Mr. Rothstein, your people |
| 01:23:25 |
the way it works out here. |
| 01:23:27 |
You're all just our guests. |
| 01:23:30 |
But you act |
| 01:23:33 |
Let me tell you something, partner. |
| 01:23:37 |
But that's where we're gonna send you |
| 01:23:42 |
- Thank you for your time. |
| 01:23:47 |
- Sorry. |
| 01:23:53 |
What happened to my pills? |
| 01:23:56 |
Huh? |
| 01:23:58 |
Isn't it bad enough you're drinking |
| 01:24:02 |
I didn't take your pills. |
| 01:24:04 |
Look, for my ulcer, |
| 01:24:07 |
And that's when I have |
| 01:24:09 |
I had a three-month supply. |
| 01:24:13 |
You didn't have to beat him up. |
| 01:24:16 |
What? |
| 01:24:18 |
I was just trying to help him. |
| 01:24:20 |
Like I'm sleeping with the guy. |
| 01:24:23 |
Yeah, how do I know? |
| 01:24:25 |
You can't make me stop |
| 01:24:27 |
What? What? |
| 01:24:29 |
I said, |
| 01:24:33 |
stop caring about people. |
| 01:24:42 |
Listen... Ginger... |
| 01:24:46 |
I'm trying to make the best |
| 01:24:50 |
I mean, you're my wife, |
| 01:24:52 |
I mean, people look up |
| 01:24:55 |
You know what, Ace? |
| 01:24:58 |
I'm gettin' out of here. |
| 01:25:06 |
Come over here. |
| 01:25:10 |
- Okay. Okay. |
| 01:25:13 |
Understand? Your drinking's |
| 01:25:16 |
I'm gonna get you into a program. |
| 01:25:20 |
- I don't need one. |
| 01:25:23 |
There's no names |
| 01:25:25 |
That's all you care about. |
| 01:25:30 |
- Yes, I do. |
| 01:25:32 |
How could you say that? |
| 01:25:34 |
You're a beautiful woman. |
| 01:25:37 |
You don't need that fuckin' |
| 01:25:40 |
I know you better |
| 01:25:43 |
You're a tiger. |
| 01:25:46 |
When you set your mind on doing |
| 01:25:54 |
You're gonna do it. |
| 01:25:56 |
Oh, God. |
| 01:25:59 |
Oh, God. |
| 01:26:02 |
Okay. |
| 01:26:07 |
I'll try. I'll try. |
| 01:26:10 |
I'll try. I will. |
| 01:26:15 |
Don't be mad at me, okay? |
| 01:26:18 |
I will. |
| 01:26:29 |
No matter what the problems |
| 01:26:33 |
it was all worth it. |
| 01:26:35 |
The cash kept rollin' in... |
| 01:26:38 |
and the suitcases |
| 01:26:41 |
And let me tell you, the fuckin' |
| 01:26:47 |
The only problem was |
| 01:26:50 |
the bosses noticed that the suitcases |
| 01:26:54 |
Wait a minute. |
| 01:26:57 |
that the money we're robbing |
| 01:27:00 |
Somebody's robbing from us? |
| 01:27:02 |
We go through all this trouble |
| 01:27:05 |
Huh? |
| 01:27:06 |
Like I said, it's part of the business. |
| 01:27:10 |
Leakage my balls. |
| 01:27:12 |
Even John Nash... |
| 01:27:15 |
he knew there wasn't much |
| 01:27:18 |
You gotta know that |
| 01:27:20 |
even if you take care |
| 01:27:22 |
he's gonna steal |
| 01:27:25 |
Makes sense, don't it? |
| 01:27:27 |
Try and make these hardheaded |
| 01:27:30 |
What's the point of skimming if we're |
| 01:27:35 |
Huh? |
| 01:27:36 |
They take this money because they're |
| 01:27:40 |
But the bosses |
| 01:27:43 |
so listen to what they do. |
| 01:27:45 |
They put Artie Piscano, |
| 01:27:48 |
in charge of making sure |
| 01:27:51 |
- What were you doin'? |
| 01:27:54 |
- What are you doin' with your cumma? |
| 01:27:56 |
The only trouble was, |
| 01:27:59 |
This guy could fuck up |
| 01:28:02 |
- What you been doin'? |
| 01:28:05 |
And little did anybody know |
| 01:28:08 |
If they did, they'd would've |
| 01:28:11 |
You gotta go back there |
| 01:28:14 |
- I never got paid my expenses for the last trip. |
| 01:28:16 |
I'm layin' money outta my own pocket, |
| 01:28:21 |
You gotta go back out there. |
| 01:28:23 |
From now on, I'm gonna |
| 01:28:25 |
No records, Artie. What are |
| 01:28:29 |
I keep layin' out |
| 01:28:31 |
What the hell are |
| 01:28:34 |
You're goin' to Las Vegas |
| 01:28:37 |
Oh, fuck. |
| 01:28:39 |
No matter how many novenas |
| 01:28:42 |
nothing was gonna stop |
| 01:28:44 |
- I can't believe you're doing this. |
| 01:28:47 |
It turned out Phil Green, |
| 01:28:49 |
had a partner |
| 01:28:52 |
And when she showed up |
| 01:28:55 |
- Why are you doing this? |
| 01:28:58 |
- Yes, you are. |
| 01:29:00 |
Green tried to stonewall her. |
| 01:29:03 |
I will see to it that you |
| 01:29:06 |
So, she sued him in court. |
| 01:29:08 |
The court will now hear the matter |
| 01:29:11 |
against Tangiers Corporation |
| 01:29:14 |
- Oberon on behalf of Mr. Green. |
| 01:29:18 |
- Mr. Oberon, you can proceed. |
| 01:29:20 |
I believe he was fair, |
| 01:29:23 |
We got a problem. |
| 01:29:29 |
It didn't go too well. |
| 01:29:32 |
has to show how |
| 01:29:34 |
Hey, that's not good. |
| 01:29:39 |
She was doin' pretty good |
| 01:29:42 |
But before she could start |
| 01:29:44 |
the boys back home decided |
| 01:29:47 |
So they sent me. |
| 01:30:04 |
Can you comment on |
| 01:30:07 |
- What are you talking about? |
| 01:30:11 |
Was this just |
| 01:30:13 |
Her lawyer said |
| 01:30:15 |
We were involved in minor |
| 01:30:19 |
It was never a partnership. |
| 01:30:22 |
Did you ever hear |
| 01:30:25 |
Now, instead of the cops |
| 01:30:28 |
they started looking |
| 01:30:30 |
And he was supposed to be |
| 01:30:33 |
I had to start giving interviews |
| 01:30:36 |
the casino |
| 01:30:38 |
So how often do you |
| 01:30:43 |
Green's here about |
| 01:30:46 |
and he's busy |
| 01:30:49 |
So in Green's absence, |
| 01:30:52 |
I serve at the pleasure |
| 01:30:55 |
My responsibilities are |
| 01:31:00 |
So day-to-day, then, |
| 01:31:03 |
Well, in a sense, you could say |
| 01:31:06 |
when Mr. Green is away. |
| 01:31:11 |
You could say that. |
| 01:31:13 |
Hmm, have you read this? |
| 01:31:17 |
About Mr. Rothstein. |
| 01:31:19 |
It says, "The Midwest bookmaker |
| 01:31:22 |
says that he is the real boss |
| 01:31:24 |
Tangiers casino empire. " |
| 01:31:27 |
Did he really say that? |
| 01:31:29 |
Why, of course he said that. |
| 01:31:33 |
Has that man even filed |
| 01:31:37 |
I don't know. |
| 01:31:39 |
Without gettin' your shorts |
| 01:31:42 |
And kinda check closely, 'cause we may |

Thank you. |

It's just a political |

Ace. |
| 01:33:34 |
Do you want |
| 01:33:37 |
- Charlie, a refill? |
| 01:33:39 |
No. Hey, Mr. Clark. |
| 01:33:42 |
- You're tougher to get than the president. |
| 01:33:45 |
Yeah? At least you could return |
| 01:33:48 |
Listen, Nicky, |
| 01:33:52 |
And I explained to you that you might |
| 01:33:56 |
Yeah. |
| 01:33:58 |
I think I want my money back. |
| 01:34:01 |
What are you gonna do, strong-arm me? |
| 01:34:06 |
- You know, I think you've gotten |
| 01:34:10 |
I think, in all fairness... |
| 01:34:13 |
I should explain to you |
| 01:34:17 |
Tomorrow morning I'll get up nice |
| 01:34:21 |
and walk in and see, and, uh, |
| 01:34:25 |
I'll crack your fuckin' head |
| 01:34:29 |
And just about the time |
| 01:34:32 |
hopefully you'll be comin' |
| 01:34:36 |
And guess what? I'll split |
| 01:34:40 |
'Cause I'm fuckin' stupid. |
| 01:34:44 |
That's my business. |
| 01:34:47 |
We know what you do. You fuck people |
| 01:34:52 |
- You can't talk to me like that. |
| 01:34:55 |
- Get my money, or I'll put your brain to sleep. |
| 01:34:58 |
Never mind Sam. |
| 01:35:00 |
I'll be there in the morning. You can |
| 01:35:05 |
You think he got the point? |
| 01:35:08 |
What're you doin'? He's a square guy, for |
| 01:35:13 |
That prick's been dodgin' me for three |
| 01:35:18 |
I'm not tryin' to tell you what to do. |
| 01:35:22 |
Where's my head? |
| 01:35:26 |
I'm tryin' to put somethin' big together |
| 01:35:30 |
If you're actin' like this now, |
| 01:35:33 |
A lot of things gonna change. If you wanna be |
| 01:35:38 |
Listen, Nick, understand my situation. |
| 01:35:42 |
I got a hundred million a year |
| 01:35:45 |
It's all over if I don't |
| 01:35:48 |
If it goes bad for me, |
| 01:35:51 |
Forget about your fuckin' license. I plant |
| 01:35:56 |
You know, I don't know what it is, |
| 01:36:01 |
the more I feel like you just |
| 01:36:03 |
- No, I don't want to come along with you. |
| 01:36:07 |
I don't want to be involved |
| 01:36:10 |
I want to run a square joint. |
| 01:36:13 |
I want everything quiet. |
| 01:36:15 |
Quiet like this? |
| 01:36:17 |
That's taken out of context. |
| 01:36:19 |
- Ronnie and Billy will tell you exactly what happened. |
| 01:36:24 |
Looks bad? Every time you're on |
| 01:36:28 |
- What the fuck happened to you? |
| 01:36:31 |
- What happened to you? You lost control. |
| 01:36:33 |
Look at you, you're fuckin' walkin' |
| 01:36:36 |
A pink robe and a fuckin' |
| 01:36:41 |
I don't wanna bring this up, but you been |
| 01:36:46 |
My wife? What does she have |
| 01:36:49 |
She was upset about a lot of things, especially |
| 01:36:55 |
You're the shoulder to cry on? Did you her |
| 01:36:59 |
No, that's not |
| 01:37:01 |
- The point is, she's upset, and you've got a problem. |
| 01:37:05 |
if you stay out |
| 01:37:07 |
- You wouldn't like it if I did it to you. |
| 01:37:11 |
What was I supposed to do? |
| 01:37:13 |
- Stay away from her. It's none of your business. |
| 01:37:16 |
A week ago it was. Now it's none of my |
| 01:37:22 |
The way you need me |
| 01:37:24 |
I'm gonna have to straighten out |
| 01:37:27 |
This guy is gonna run |
| 01:37:30 |
Your head's bigger |
| 01:37:32 |
I knew what |
| 01:37:36 |
He wanted to go after Gaggi, |
| 01:37:41 |
Plus, he had stopped asking permission |
| 01:37:49 |
A casino boss and his wife were killed. |
| 01:37:55 |
A dealer from the Sirocco. |
| 01:37:58 |
A bunch of stool pigeons wound up in the |
| 01:38:02 |
A lawyer. |
| 01:38:04 |
They questioned Nicky. |
| 01:38:08 |
When some guys that didn't pay |
| 01:38:11 |
Nicky's name was in every one |
| 01:38:14 |
Nicky was questioned in two dozen |
| 01:38:18 |
There were never any witnesses. |
| 01:38:20 |
The coppers blamed me |
| 01:38:23 |
Watch yourself. |
| 01:38:26 |
If a guy fuckin' tripped over a |
| 01:38:30 |
Come on, be nice, huh? |
| 01:38:32 |
And the bosses were no better. They |
| 01:38:36 |
In my line of work, |
| 01:38:39 |
I'm dealin' with degenerate |
| 01:38:42 |
But the bosses, |
| 01:38:44 |
They're sittin' on their asses |
| 01:38:46 |
I'm the guy in the trenches. |
| 01:38:49 |
Fuckin' bosses think it's |
| 01:38:52 |
Frankie, they found |
| 01:38:56 |
You know about that? |
| 01:38:58 |
- Yeah, I heard. Yeah. |
| 01:39:01 |
Everybody's talkin'. They're makin' a big |
| 01:39:05 |
What are you gonna do? |
| 01:39:08 |
And I mean, that's no good. You gotta tell |
| 01:39:14 |
I'll tell him, Remo. |
| 01:39:16 |
Fuckin' bosses; |
| 01:39:19 |
and they're eatin' trippa and fuckin' |
| 01:39:22 |
If I want to talk private, |
| 01:39:25 |
- What do they care long as I keep sendin' money back? |
| 01:39:30 |
Let 'em complain. I'm the one |
| 01:39:34 |
- Somebody don't like it, fuck 'em. |
| 01:39:38 |
They want a fuckin' war? |
| 01:39:41 |
All I gotta do is take care of five of |
| 01:39:45 |
Peekaboo, you fucks, you. |
| 01:39:49 |
I see you, |
| 01:39:51 |
Nicky was not only bringing |
| 01:39:55 |
The F.B.I. Watched every move he made, |
| 01:40:00 |
If they're gonna watch me, |
| 01:40:03 |
I spent a few bucks. |
| 01:40:06 |
I got the latest anti-buggin' equipment from |
| 01:40:11 |
I had special police frequency radios, F.B.I. |
| 01:40:16 |
And because of that, the miserable sons |
| 01:40:22 |
I got my job on the line, and |
| 01:40:26 |
He has every cop in the state |
| 01:40:30 |
And at the worst |
| 01:40:33 |
I had my license hearing coming up, and |
| 01:40:37 |
I mean, if I can't work in Vegas, |
| 01:40:41 |
You've been very open with us. |
| 01:40:44 |
That's gonna mean something |
| 01:40:47 |
- All I ask is a fair hearing. |
| 01:40:51 |
All right, well, we'll move on to... |
| 01:40:55 |
- I wanted to hear |
| 01:41:00 |
What the fuck is this? |
| 01:41:05 |
Where's this guy |
| 01:41:27 |
They're fuckin' agents, Frankie. |
| 01:41:31 |
The Feds were watching Nicky |
| 01:41:35 |
they ran out of gas. |
| 01:41:37 |
Just what I needed, right |
| 01:41:45 |
A hundred dollars, |
| 01:41:49 |
And as if things weren't bad enough, in |
| 01:41:55 |
He ran that little grocery store in Kansas |
| 01:41:58 |
Fightin' over those suitcases again. |
| 01:42:02 |
I gotta take another trip to Vegas, and |
| 01:42:05 |
He ran it with his brother-in-law... |
| 01:42:08 |
but mostly what he did was complain |
| 01:42:11 |
You gotta lay down the law, otherwise |
| 01:42:15 |
I write it all down. Every fuckin' |
| 01:42:19 |
- Hey, oh, wha... What's the matter with you? |
| 01:42:23 |
- Since when do you talk like that? |
| 01:42:25 |
Nance gives me trouble, I'll tell him I'll |
| 01:42:29 |
- Again. |
| 01:42:32 |
- That's enough. |
| 01:42:34 |
What happens next? |
| 01:42:36 |
Who would believe that the F.B.I. |
| 01:42:38 |
lookin' for some information |
| 01:42:41 |
about some guy who was whacked-out |
| 01:42:45 |
What's to prevent him with the suitcases |
| 01:42:48 |
Fuckin' Nance takes back two suitcases |
| 01:42:52 |
We've got nobody |
| 01:42:55 |
We can't even go into the count room to |
| 01:42:58 |
Sure, he's got his people in there. They |
| 01:43:04 |
I'll find out. If it's Green, |
| 01:43:07 |
I never trusted him. |
| 01:43:11 |
- I'll hit the two of them with a fuckin' shovel. |
| 01:43:15 |
Ma, I'm sorry. |
| 01:43:17 |
- Ma, I'm sorry. I'm all upset. |
| 01:43:20 |
You know what they're doin'. I can't |
| 01:43:24 |
- Take it easy. You'll get a heart attack like that. |
| 01:43:27 |
And the damn thing is, |
| 01:43:31 |
about Las Vegas |
| 01:43:34 |
and that's it. |
| 01:43:42 |
Everything's comin' outta my pocket. |
| 01:43:45 |
Would you believe that |
| 01:43:48 |
I'm in this to make money, |
| 01:43:51 |
Every F.B.I. Man across the country |
| 01:43:55 |
If you want something done right |
| 01:43:58 |
I mean, Piscano, this guy |
| 01:44:03 |
There are some that are good |
| 01:44:06 |
Mr. Chairman, |
| 01:44:09 |
Mr. Rothstein is pleased |
| 01:44:11 |
When the day finally came, I was ready. |
| 01:44:14 |
I felt so confident that |
| 01:44:18 |
We have documents, one of which is |
| 01:44:23 |
which completely absolves Mr. Rothstein |
| 01:44:26 |
- Counselor, before you continue... |
| 01:44:30 |
This commission is prepared to act on a |
| 01:44:34 |
- Denying? |
| 01:44:36 |
Mr. Chairman, |
| 01:44:39 |
Do I have a vote |
| 01:44:41 |
- Aye. |
| 01:44:43 |
The ayes have it. |
| 01:44:45 |
- You have to be kidding. |
| 01:44:49 |
Senator, you promised me a hearing. You |
| 01:44:53 |
When you were my guest at the Tangiers |
| 01:44:59 |
- I was never your guest. |
| 01:45:03 |
- I don't comp you at least three times a month? |
| 01:45:07 |
Mr. Rothstein is being very typical |
| 01:45:11 |
The only time I was at the Tangiers |
| 01:45:15 |
- Was I at that dinner? Tell me, was I at that dinner? |
| 01:45:18 |
- Was I at that dinner? Was I? |
| 01:45:21 |
- You were... in the... You were in the building. |
| 01:45:24 |
You know I was at that dinner, and you swore |
| 01:45:30 |
Did you not? Well, tell me I was at |
| 01:45:36 |
- Give me that much at least! |
| 01:45:39 |
Thanks for not calling me a liar, |
| 01:45:44 |
A routine licensing hearing |
| 01:45:47 |
when the flamboyant Tangiers Casino |
| 01:45:50 |
- What are you runnin' for, Bob? |
| 01:45:54 |
You promised me when you were |
| 01:45:57 |
You were asking me for copies of your bill |
| 01:46:01 |
In a wild outburst that followed |
| 01:46:04 |
- Bullshit! Bullshit! |
| 01:46:06 |
stunned commissioners into the hallway |
| 01:46:10 |
until his own lawyers |
| 01:46:12 |
You have a past. I have a past. |
| 01:46:17 |
But you guys think you have |
| 01:46:19 |
Long suspected of running |
| 01:46:23 |
yesterday's hearing was to determine |
| 01:46:27 |
was qualified to officially hold |
| 01:46:30 |
Fuckin' hypocrites! |
| 01:46:33 |
- What the hell's he gonna do now? |
| 01:46:37 |
What's he doin'? He knows all those |
| 01:46:41 |
What's the matter with him, |
| 01:46:44 |
Maybe he could run things with another |
| 01:46:49 |
However he runs things, it's gotta be |
| 01:46:53 |
Say he's a janitor. |
| 01:46:56 |
But, please, whatever job he takes, |
| 01:47:09 |
Ladies and gentlemen... |
| 01:47:11 |
the Tangiers Hotel |
| 01:47:14 |
Sam Rothstein show, |
| 01:47:20 |
Tonight, taped live |
| 01:47:23 |
we present the premiere showing |
| 01:47:27 |
with the Sasha Semenoff |
| 01:47:31 |
and the Sam Rothstein Dancers! |
| 01:47:35 |
Mr. Rothstein is a professional gambler and |
| 01:47:40 |
a man who will take you inside the real |
| 01:47:45 |
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the new entertainment |
| 01:47:49 |
Mr. Sam Rothstein. |
| 01:48:01 |
Welcome to the Sam Rothstein Show. We're |
| 01:48:05 |
The young lady to my left |
| 01:48:08 |
a lead new dancer |
| 01:48:11 |
Our first guest this evening... |
| 01:48:14 |
is Frankie Avalon. |
| 01:48:22 |
- Keep an eye on him. |
| 01:48:26 |
- How many kids do you have? |
| 01:48:31 |
No, no, please. Please. |
| 01:48:34 |
- That's amazing. |
| 01:48:38 |
- Ace, don't do it. |
| 01:48:41 |
Oh, no, no. Oh, no. |
| 01:48:44 |
Oh, Jesus. |
| 01:48:47 |
He's juggling! |
| 01:48:49 |
Let's not take Commissioner |
| 01:48:53 |
I recently challenged him to a debate |
| 01:48:56 |
What are you worried about, Pat? |
| 01:49:01 |
You can ask me |
| 01:49:04 |
What the hell is he doin' |
| 01:49:07 |
He's on all night, screamin' about how he's |
| 01:49:12 |
He really must be crazy. |
| 01:49:16 |
He's out |
| 01:49:18 |
It's a pity we have such hypocrisy. |
| 01:49:22 |
Other people have to pay |
| 01:49:25 |
Andy, go see him. Tell him |
| 01:49:35 |
First of all, what they did |
| 01:49:38 |
We're on the list to be heard before |
| 01:49:42 |
These guys don't give a fuck about the |
| 01:49:48 |
Walk away? Andy, you can't be serious. How |
| 01:49:53 |
The old man said maybe |
| 01:49:56 |
When the old man says "maybe," |
| 01:49:59 |
Not only should you quit, |
| 01:50:02 |
Every time they mention my name |
| 01:50:06 |
How the fuck |
| 01:50:08 |
The heat he brought down |
| 01:50:11 |
The police department was cooperative. He |
| 01:50:17 |
- What are you proposing? |
| 01:50:21 |
Maybe he should get lost |
| 01:50:24 |
- They ain't sendin' Nicky nowhere. |
| 01:50:26 |
it would give everybody |
| 01:50:28 |
I would forget about the maneuver. |
| 01:50:36 |
I can't do that. |
| 01:50:39 |
As soon as Andy got home, |
| 01:50:43 |
Next morning, bright and early, |
| 01:50:46 |
Great. You know, I've got to do |
| 01:50:49 |
Getting a call |
| 01:50:52 |
Even the codes didn't work. |
| 01:50:55 |
If a phone's tapped, the Feds can only |
| 01:51:00 |
So on routine calls, they have |
| 01:51:03 |
Yeah, I got |
| 01:51:06 |
- Yeah. |
| 01:51:08 |
- At Caesar's? |
| 01:51:10 |
- Why? |
| 01:51:15 |
Suzy Cream Cheese has |
| 01:51:19 |
I saw something. |
| 01:51:22 |
Something very cute. |
| 01:51:25 |
Okay, he's out. |
| 01:51:29 |
And he's with the bogey. |
| 01:51:31 |
Nicky started out before me... |
| 01:51:34 |
because it wasn't that easy |
| 01:51:37 |
Nicky couldn't even go |
| 01:51:41 |
at least six times |
| 01:51:44 |
Because of the planes, |
| 01:52:18 |
Meeting in the middle |
| 01:52:21 |
It's a scary place. |
| 01:52:24 |
I knew about the holes |
| 01:52:26 |
And everywhere I looked, |
| 01:52:30 |
Normally, my prospects |
| 01:52:34 |
from a meetin' with Nicky |
| 01:52:39 |
But this time, when I heard him say a |
| 01:52:44 |
I gave myself 50-50. |
| 01:53:05 |
Where the fuck you get off talkin' to |
| 01:53:10 |
- What people? |
| 01:53:14 |
I don't even know |
| 01:53:16 |
You said I'm bringin' heat on you? I gotta |
| 01:53:21 |
You're orderin' me out? You better get |
| 01:53:24 |
I didn't order you or anybody. I told Andy |
| 01:53:29 |
- You want me to get out of my own fuckin' town? |
| 01:53:32 |
Let the bullshit blow over |
| 01:53:34 |
Anything goes wrong with the casino, |
| 01:53:38 |
I don't know whether you know you have your |
| 01:53:43 |
I'm what counts out here. Not your fuckin' |
| 01:53:48 |
And what the fuck |
| 01:53:51 |
I get calls from home every day. |
| 01:53:56 |
I'm only on TV because I gotta be able |
| 01:53:59 |
You could have had the food-and-beverage |
| 01:54:03 |
You wanted to go on TV. |
| 01:54:05 |
Yeah, I wanted to go on TV. That |
| 01:54:08 |
They know they can't fuck around with me like |
| 01:54:12 |
You're makin' |
| 01:54:14 |
Me? I wouldn't even be |
| 01:54:18 |
Every time I meet somebody, |
| 01:54:21 |
- Sure, now you wanna blame your fuckin' license on me. |
| 01:54:24 |
When you asked me |
| 01:54:27 |
what did I tell you? |
| 01:54:30 |
- Back up a fuckin' minute here. |
| 01:54:33 |
I asked you? When the fuck did |
| 01:54:38 |
Get this through your head, |
| 01:54:42 |
You only exist out here because of me! |
| 01:54:46 |
Without me, |
| 01:54:49 |
Every fuckin' wise guy still around will |
| 01:54:54 |
Then where you gonna go? |
| 01:54:57 |
Don't go over my head again, |
| 01:55:25 |
# Crack that whip # |

Dumb Jew motherfucker. Grew up together, |
| 01:55:52 |
I know we're supposed to avoid each |
| 01:55:55 |
Fuck him. |
| 01:55:57 |
To Abraham Lincoln. |
| 01:56:00 |
- Don't let it bother you. |
| 01:56:04 |
Why do I give a fuck? |
| 01:56:07 |
That prick. He won't even look over. |
| 01:56:12 |
- Fuckin' Jews stick together, don't they? |
| 01:56:17 |
- So are we. |
| 01:56:22 |
Yeah? |
| 01:56:26 |
- Sam, we got a problem. |
| 01:56:29 |
The little guy. Nobody told him |
| 01:56:32 |
We turned our heads and made out |
| 01:56:36 |
He's over at the 21 table |
| 01:56:40 |
He took money out of his own kick. |
| 01:56:44 |
- Now he's really pissed. |
| 01:56:47 |
- He wants a 50,000 marker. |
| 01:56:50 |
That's it. |
| 01:56:52 |
- He's gonna come up with 10,000, the way you want it. |
| 01:56:57 |
Go get it. I don't give a fuck where you get |
| 01:57:02 |
# I ain't got a home |
| 01:57:06 |
How the fuck can you grin? |
| 01:57:11 |
You know how much I'm stuck? |
| 01:57:19 |
Give yourself a hand, |
| 01:57:22 |
Look at this beaut |
| 01:57:24 |
Sherbert send you |
| 01:57:26 |
Been fuckin' knockin' everybody's dick |
| 01:57:31 |
Huh, jag-off? Hit me. |
| 01:57:36 |
Take this stiff and pound it |
| 01:57:39 |
Hit me again. |
| 01:57:45 |
Take this one and stick it |
| 01:57:50 |
That's it. Keep lookin' at him. If you had any |
| 01:57:55 |
Hit me again! What the fuck |
| 01:57:59 |
You fuckin'... Look at this, 20 fuckin' |
| 01:58:08 |
You should pay as fast |
| 01:58:14 |
- You gotta get outta here. |
| 01:58:19 |
I'm here to help you. |
| 01:58:22 |
- Just give me the money. Give me the fuckin' money. |
| 01:58:26 |
Then you gotta get out |
| 01:58:29 |
Ten and that's it. |
| 01:58:36 |
What are you starin' at, |
| 01:58:44 |
- Come on, come on. Let's get outta here. |
| 01:58:49 |
Get outta here? |
| 01:58:52 |
Everything's changed now. |
| 01:58:55 |
You're asking for alimony payments |
| 01:58:59 |
I just want what any |
| 01:59:02 |
She's only sober |
| 01:59:04 |
It's usually from 11:00 in the morning |
| 01:59:06 |
If I gave her her money and her jewels, |
| 01:59:10 |
Where would you be then? |
| 01:59:15 |
- or findin' some other excuse to come... |
| 01:59:19 |
Remember that? |
| 01:59:21 |
He said if it didn't work out between us, |
| 01:59:28 |
Look in my eyes. |
| 01:59:30 |
Look-Look in my eyes. |
| 01:59:34 |
Do you see anything that makes |
| 01:59:38 |
someone in your condition |
| 01:59:42 |
Do you? |
| 01:59:47 |
You know that won't happen. |
| 01:59:52 |
And after all this time... |
| 01:59:55 |
and as hard as I tried, |
| 01:59:59 |
I could never reach her. |
| 02:00:01 |
I could never make |
| 02:00:03 |
I always felt she should have gone |
| 02:00:07 |
being somebody |
| 02:00:09 |
a home, a kid. |
| 02:00:11 |
That's not what happened. |
| 02:00:14 |
- Everything all right? |
| 02:00:16 |
After a while, we'd just take breathers |
| 02:00:20 |
At that time, I remember Ginger |
| 02:00:24 |
She was gonna spend |
| 02:00:26 |
- Yes, Mr. Rothstein. |
| 02:00:29 |
- Beverly Hotel. |
| 02:00:32 |
Mr. And Mrs. Rothstein |
| 02:00:36 |
Mr. And Mrs. Rothstein? |
| 02:00:39 |
Hey, little Dale Evans. |
| 02:00:41 |
- Yes, they both checked out. |
| 02:00:49 |
Hello. Yeah. |
| 02:00:51 |
My wife is with an old friend |
| 02:00:55 |
Some lowlife. |
| 02:00:57 |
My daughter is with them, and I think |
| 02:01:00 |
- Is there anybody you can send? |
| 02:01:09 |
We got a number and an address. |
| 02:01:11 |
- Hello. Is this Lester? |
| 02:01:15 |
Who's calling? |
| 02:01:17 |
This is Sam Rothstein. I want to talk |
| 02:01:20 |
She's not here, Sam. |
| 02:01:22 |
Listen to me very carefully. |
| 02:01:25 |
I want my kid back. |
| 02:01:29 |
- I know she's there. Don't fuck around. |
| 02:01:32 |
You shouldn't do this. |
| 02:01:34 |
- You understand? |
| 02:01:36 |
Sam, I don't know where she is. |
| 02:01:40 |
So... listen... |
| 02:01:44 |
- 702-472-1862. |
| 02:01:48 |
- Okay, I'll call you right back. |
| 02:01:50 |
- Right back. |
| 02:01:52 |
Schmuck. All right, |
| 02:01:57 |
You want to get back |
| 02:01:59 |
- Okay, you got what? |
| 02:02:02 |
Hey, you got a minute? He's got |
| 02:02:05 |
You let him |
| 02:02:07 |
We take the cash and the only other |
| 02:02:11 |
We go to Europe. |
| 02:02:14 |
I don't want to go to Europe. |
| 02:02:18 |
We're going to Europe. |
| 02:02:21 |
You get plastic surgery |
| 02:02:24 |
You're the mother. How much you think |
| 02:02:26 |
- I don't want to go to Europe. |
| 02:02:29 |
- You shut up. |
| 02:02:31 |
I'll smack your face. |
| 02:02:34 |
This has always been a dream, |
| 02:02:37 |
- Lester, he called you here. He called you right here. |
| 02:02:40 |
- I just talked to him. |
| 02:02:43 |
That means he's sending some guys |
| 02:02:46 |
It means he's sitting |
| 02:02:48 |
- waiting for me to call him back. |
| 02:02:52 |
What do you think we're gonna do? He's |
| 02:02:56 |
- This is fuckin' bullshit! This is bullshit! |
| 02:03:00 |
- Oh, what bullshit? What? You want to talk it over now? |
| 02:03:05 |
- Go, go! Get in the car! |
| 02:03:07 |
Just relax. |
| 02:03:09 |
I think he's gonna kill me. |
| 02:03:11 |
Call me back here in exactly an hour |
| 02:03:16 |
I'm gonna call you back |
| 02:03:18 |
- and you're gonna be there, right? |
| 02:03:20 |
Listen, don't do anything else crazy, |
| 02:03:25 |
Bye. |
| 02:03:27 |
- Just knock it off. You two knock it off. |
| 02:03:29 |
- She started the whole thing. I'm just standing here. |
| 02:03:31 |
You're not gonna drive. Don't even think |
| 02:03:33 |
- I'm not gonna drive with some crazy woman. |
| 02:03:36 |
Get on the passenger side! And I'm |
| 02:03:56 |
Can we... |
| 02:04:05 |
# You can go your own way # |
| 02:04:09 |
# Go your own way # |
| 02:04:12 |
# Tell me why # |
| 02:04:14 |
- # Everything turned around # |
| 02:04:18 |
Yeah. |
| 02:04:23 |
- I just told you she called me. |
| 02:04:26 |
She was afraid to call you. |
| 02:04:30 |
- She's with that cocksucker. They got Amy. |
| 02:04:35 |
She wants to come back, but she's |
| 02:04:37 |
- They're gonna kidnap my kid. What do you want? |
| 02:04:41 |
Why didn't you come to me? I mean, |
| 02:04:45 |
You make calls back home. It makes us |
| 02:04:49 |
Back and forth, |
| 02:04:51 |
In the meantime, |
| 02:04:53 |
Am I right? |
| 02:04:56 |
What am I going to do |
| 02:04:59 |
- Driving me fuckin' crazy. |
| 02:05:03 |
assure her that she's gonna be |
| 02:05:07 |
Driving me fuckin' crazy. |
| 02:05:10 |
Once you get her here, |
| 02:05:13 |
Wait 'til you get the kid back. |
| 02:05:16 |
That's the main thing here. |
| 02:05:18 |
You want your kid, don't you? |
| 02:05:22 |
Hello. |
| 02:05:26 |
Hi, it's me. Just who you wanted |
| 02:05:31 |
Listen, I'm not gonna |
| 02:05:34 |
Just, please, put Amy on a plane, |
| 02:05:38 |
- That's all I'm asking. |
| 02:05:41 |
I mean, I don't think |
| 02:05:44 |
What do you mean? |
| 02:05:48 |
What I mean is... |
| 02:05:50 |
Do you think if I came back... |
| 02:05:55 |
Do you think |
| 02:05:58 |
I gotta tell you, I don't know. |
| 02:06:02 |
I understand that. |
| 02:06:04 |
I know I fucked up. |
| 02:06:06 |
- What about the money? Where's the box? |
| 02:06:10 |
I made some mistakes, |
| 02:06:15 |
- What's it under? |
| 02:06:18 |
- How serious? |
| 02:06:22 |
- It's under 25,000? |
| 02:06:25 |
- The rest of the two million is still there? |
| 02:06:28 |
Okay, no big deal. |
| 02:06:31 |
He got his 25. |
| 02:06:33 |
That I'll live with. |
| 02:06:35 |
Okay. |
| 02:06:37 |
All right, all right. Where are you? |
| 02:06:44 |
Hi, Sam. |
| 02:06:56 |
So what'd you do with it? |
| 02:06:59 |
With what? |
| 02:07:01 |
With the money. |
| 02:07:04 |
He needed some clothes. |
| 02:07:08 |
25,000 for clothes? |
| 02:07:11 |
He wanted a watch too. |
| 02:07:16 |
- 25,000 for clothes and a watch? |
| 02:07:20 |
Mm-hmm. |
| 02:07:22 |
- Good evening, signora. This way. |
| 02:07:24 |
The good part was I had Amy back. |
| 02:07:27 |
So we went home, had the housekeeper |
| 02:07:31 |
I calmed myself down, |
| 02:07:34 |
I tried to keep things |
| 02:07:36 |
but, hey, |
| 02:07:41 |
That doesn't |
| 02:07:43 |
First of all, he's not gonna wear |
| 02:07:47 |
Let's say he did, |
| 02:07:49 |
How you gonna get fitted |
| 02:07:53 |
- # I'm confessin' # |
| 02:07:57 |
I can't get fitted that fast, |
| 02:07:59 |
- I bought him a watch too. |
| 02:08:02 |
But even if you bought him a really nice |
| 02:08:07 |
He doesn't know |
| 02:08:09 |
- Say you go five, ten, twelve grand... |
| 02:08:12 |
At the most, |
| 02:08:15 |
Plus, at the most, three suits, |
| 02:08:20 |
- Around 10,000? |
| 02:08:23 |
- I'm just trying to figure it out. |
| 02:08:28 |
I'm home. |
| 02:08:32 |
I've been told before, |
| 02:08:35 |
You think |
| 02:08:37 |
after what you just put me |
| 02:08:48 |
So, counting the watch, |
| 02:08:51 |
for expenses over the weekend... |
| 02:08:54 |
of which you must have |
| 02:08:57 |
I know he did. |
| 02:08:58 |
I know that fuckin' piece |
| 02:09:04 |
On my money. |
| 02:09:07 |
You might as well have fucked him, |
| 02:09:11 |
You're lookin' at me |
| 02:09:13 |
You're teary-eyed, huh? |
| 02:09:17 |
You're upset. You're |
| 02:09:20 |
Good fuckin' actress. |
| 02:09:23 |
You can fuckin' get |
| 02:09:26 |
I'm not a john. |
| 02:09:28 |
You always thought I was, |
| 02:09:31 |
That fuckin' pimp cocksucker. |
| 02:09:35 |
He's lucky I didn't |
| 02:09:37 |
Lucky he's fuckin' livin'. |
| 02:09:40 |
and you would have ran away, |
| 02:09:42 |
Both of you. Dead. Dead. |
| 02:09:46 |
# Dreamin' dreams of you |
| 02:09:54 |
No, |
| 02:10:00 |
Yes. |
| 02:10:02 |
He doesn't come home at night. |
| 02:10:05 |
I go... Listen, I just |
| 02:10:08 |
Why should I fuckin' take it? |
| 02:10:12 |
He acts like I'm the only one |
| 02:10:15 |
He'll never let me |
| 02:10:17 |
Well, yes, I have tried. |
| 02:10:21 |
What the fuck do you think |
| 02:10:24 |
No, I'm not. |
| 02:10:26 |
Yes, I want him killed. |
| 02:10:28 |
So are you with me on this? |
| 02:10:32 |
You want to get rid of me? |
| 02:10:36 |
Go ahead. |
| 02:10:38 |
- Hello. |
| 02:10:41 |
I fuckin' hate you! |
| 02:10:46 |
- Yes, I want to kill you! I hate your fuckin' guts! |
| 02:10:50 |
- I'm sick of being with you! |
| 02:10:53 |
Come with me now. Come with me now. |
| 02:10:56 |
- I want you out. |
| 02:10:59 |
- I want you out of here! |
| 02:11:04 |
Take your fuckin' bag |
| 02:11:06 |
I'll go, but I want |
| 02:11:08 |
- You'll get your money! Don't worry. |
| 02:11:12 |
- No kidding! |
| 02:11:15 |
I need some cash right now! |
| 02:11:18 |
You haven't been straight |
| 02:11:20 |
You never even loved me |
| 02:11:22 |
I need eyes in the back |
| 02:11:25 |
How could I love you? |
| 02:11:29 |
- You're lower than a dog! |
| 02:11:32 |
Here! Here! |
| 02:11:35 |
Will it last you |
| 02:11:37 |
- Greedy bitch. Take the fuckin' money. |
| 02:11:40 |
- and I'm getting my jewelry too! |
| 02:11:44 |
Don't send your guys down there |
| 02:11:47 |
I guarantee you, |
| 02:11:49 |
You're not getting rid of me |
| 02:11:51 |
Come back tomorrow and get the rest. |
| 02:11:55 |
- I'm taking Amy. |
| 02:11:57 |
I am. |
| 02:11:59 |
You're stoned. You're a junkie. |
| 02:12:01 |
- I am not! She's my daughter too! |
| 02:12:03 |
Send my lawyers a letter, |
| 02:12:06 |
You're not getting away with this! |
| 02:12:10 |
Fucker! |
| 02:13:05 |
The funny thing was, |
| 02:13:09 |
She was the mother of my kid. |
| 02:13:11 |
And later, I realized I didn't want |
| 02:13:15 |
because if I did, |
| 02:13:30 |
- Oh. Have a good day at school, okay? |
| 02:13:34 |
Okay, angel. |
| 02:13:40 |
From now on, I have to know |
| 02:13:46 |
Here's a beeper. |
| 02:13:48 |
I want you |
| 02:13:50 |
It's very light. |
| 02:13:52 |
So I can call you |
| 02:13:57 |
Okay? |
| 02:14:10 |
What are you supposed to do? |
| 02:14:12 |
You want to stay the way you are? |
| 02:14:15 |
Listen, two people don't get along, |
| 02:14:18 |
It's none of my business, |
| 02:14:21 |
You're right. |
| 02:14:23 |
- I was just... |
| 02:14:27 |
- Nothing. |
| 02:14:29 |
- I don't... |
| 02:14:31 |
- Yeah? |
| 02:14:33 |
I was thinking maybe |
| 02:14:37 |
who could help me |
| 02:14:40 |
There's a lot |
| 02:14:42 |
I'd be willing to take care |
| 02:14:47 |
- Let me think about that. |
| 02:14:50 |
Let me see who I got. Gotta get |
| 02:14:54 |
- You know he's never gonna give me my jewelry. |
| 02:14:57 |
He holds that key so tight, |
| 02:15:00 |
You're right. That's Sammy. |
| 02:15:04 |
And he's probably |
| 02:15:09 |
He's so fuckin' lucky. |
| 02:15:12 |
I could have gone to Europe |
| 02:15:17 |
- Then he'd have tracked me down, and he'd have killed me. |
| 02:15:21 |
I would have. |
| 02:15:23 |
- He'd have been right too. Seriously. |
| 02:15:25 |
- You don't take a guy's kid and then take off. |
| 02:15:29 |
I mean, I did, but then I did exactly |
| 02:15:33 |
- You did. You're right. You did. I like that. |
| 02:15:36 |
- That's what I like about you. You did the right thing. |
| 02:15:40 |
- Yes, you did. |
| 02:15:43 |
Yeah. |
| 02:15:45 |
# And now that it's all over ## |
| 02:15:50 |
He really fucked himself up |
| 02:15:54 |
- He sure did. |
| 02:15:58 |
- Changed. |
| 02:16:00 |
- He did. He ain't the same person. |
| 02:16:04 |
- He really thinks who the fuck he is. |
| 02:16:11 |
He hates me. |
| 02:16:13 |
He hates my fuckin' guts. |
| 02:16:15 |
Come on, come on. |
| 02:16:23 |
- Don't cry. |
| 02:16:26 |
Yes, you are. |
| 02:16:28 |
I'm not, and he scares |
| 02:16:30 |
- I never know what he's gonna do. |
| 02:16:34 |
- Don't be scared. |
| 02:16:38 |
I need some help. |
| 02:16:42 |
You gotta help me. |
| 02:16:45 |
I need a new sponsor, Nicky. |
| 02:16:48 |
I do. |
| 02:16:50 |
- Is that what you want? |
| 02:16:52 |
- A sponsor? |
| 02:16:55 |
Okay. |
| 02:16:59 |
Nobody will fuck |
| 02:17:01 |
- I'll take care of you. Yes, I will. |
| 02:17:03 |
- It's what you want, isn't it? |
| 02:17:06 |
- Yeah. Uh-huh. |
| 02:17:21 |
# Yes, it came from your pen, dear, |
| 02:17:25 |
- # The third king |
| 02:17:27 |
# You ended your letter enclosed |
| 02:17:30 |
- That's Ace's wife. |
| 02:17:33 |
- # You poor, sad, worthless foolish fool # |
| 02:17:37 |
# If you think that money can pay |
| 02:17:41 |
# 'Til things broke your way # |
| 02:17:43 |
- This is great for the boss. |
| 02:17:48 |
# I'm tearing up the pieces |
| 02:17:52 |
# I smile when you kiss me |
| 02:17:57 |
# My only sin was |

# Win a little # |
| 02:18:04 |
# Lose a little ## |
| 02:18:15 |
- Hi. |
| 02:18:19 |
- You didn't answer your beeper. |
| 02:18:22 |
You threw it away? |
| 02:18:25 |
I tried to do this thing. I know that |
| 02:18:27 |
I'm driving down the freeway and the |
| 02:18:30 |
I'm in a restaurant, |
| 02:18:33 |
I don't want to do it anymore. |
| 02:18:36 |
- I put her to bed. |
| 02:18:39 |
I got your cigarettes. |
| 02:18:43 |
Oscar wants you to call him. |
| 02:18:47 |
- So who'd you go to lunch with? |
| 02:18:49 |
- Where'd you go? |
| 02:18:54 |
What'd you have? |
| 02:18:57 |
- I had a salad. |
| 02:19:01 |
She had the same. |
| 02:19:03 |
Okay. |
| 02:19:06 |
I want you |
| 02:19:08 |
and I want you to tell her |
| 02:19:12 |
I'm gonna listen in |
| 02:19:15 |
- Why do you want to do that? |
| 02:19:18 |
- Just do it. |
| 02:19:21 |
I just need to get |
| 02:19:32 |
The line's busy. |
| 02:19:34 |
There's nobody there. |
| 02:19:42 |
- Hello. |
| 02:19:47 |
All right. |
| 02:19:52 |
Okay. |
| 02:19:58 |
Who were you with? |
| 02:20:00 |
I was with somebody. |
| 02:20:02 |
I know you were with somebody. |
| 02:20:14 |
I just hope it's not someone |
| 02:20:19 |
I just hope it's not that. |
| 02:20:25 |
I knew she fucked around. |
| 02:20:28 |
She did what she did, |
| 02:20:30 |
but, Jesus, Nicky was the worst thing |
| 02:20:35 |
What if he won't stop? |
| 02:20:38 |
It could get us both killed. |
| 02:20:40 |
I can back him off. |
| 02:20:44 |
She was |
| 02:20:49 |
And this is how |
| 02:20:57 |
Hey, Ginger. |
| 02:21:00 |
Don't forget, |
| 02:21:02 |
if he asks anything, |
| 02:21:05 |
You understand? I don't want him |
| 02:21:08 |
That could really cause |
| 02:21:11 |
Got to be careful. |
| 02:21:13 |
You hear what I'm saying, right? |
| 02:21:15 |
I know. You don't have |
| 02:21:18 |
What? Do you think I'm stupid? |
| 02:21:20 |
Do I think you're stupid? No. |
| 02:21:23 |
I think you're beautiful. |
| 02:21:29 |
By this time, Nicky had things |
| 02:21:31 |
that every time Marino went back home, |
| 02:21:38 |
It got to the point, |
| 02:21:41 |
he didn't know whether he was |
| 02:21:43 |
Frankie, |
| 02:21:46 |
It's private. |
| 02:21:48 |
But I want you |
| 02:21:50 |
Of course, Remo. |
| 02:21:53 |
I want you to tell me |
| 02:21:56 |
I always tell you |
| 02:21:59 |
Frankie... the little guy... |
| 02:22:03 |
he wouldn't be fucking |
| 02:22:05 |
Because if he is, |
| 02:22:11 |
What could I say? |
| 02:22:13 |
I knew if I gave |
| 02:22:15 |
Nicky, Ginger, Ace, all of them |
| 02:22:19 |
Because there's one thing |
| 02:22:22 |
They don't like any fucking around |
| 02:22:25 |
It's bad for business. |
| 02:22:27 |
So I lied, even though I knew |
| 02:22:30 |
I could wind up |
| 02:22:33 |
- No, I ain't seen anything like that. |
| 02:22:38 |
I'm positive. |
| 02:22:40 |
Remo, things are very |
| 02:22:45 |
I know. |
| 02:22:47 |
- You see, my main concern is Nicky. |
| 02:22:50 |
I want to know if he's |
| 02:22:54 |
- He's good. He's fine. |
| 02:22:59 |
- Do it for me. |
| 02:23:02 |
I wouldn't want to be jeopardizing |
| 02:23:08 |
- I understand. |
| 02:23:11 |
Frankie, you're a good boy. |
| 02:23:13 |
Thanks, Remo. |
| 02:23:15 |
By now, Nicky and his crew |
| 02:23:18 |
Vegas really got to him. |
| 02:23:21 |
The booze, the coke, the broads. |
| 02:23:25 |
I mean, he got sloppy. |
| 02:23:27 |
He just wasn't |
| 02:23:29 |
- You must have drank too much. |
| 02:23:32 |
One night he had |
| 02:23:34 |
before the guy |
| 02:23:36 |
In the old days, Nicky would have |
| 02:23:39 |
You add this into the mix... |
| 02:23:41 |
Maybe just Vegas got to all of us. |
| 02:23:44 |
His crew followed him |
| 02:23:46 |
They were all tuned up |
| 02:23:49 |
They started doing stupid things. |
| 02:23:52 |
- Hey, what do you guys want? |
| 02:23:55 |
He never knew |
| 02:23:58 |
- Drop the gun! |
| 02:24:05 |
The cops shot Blue... |
| 02:24:07 |
- because they thought |
| 02:24:11 |
- They could have been right, but who knows? |
| 02:24:14 |
What gun? He's got |
| 02:24:17 |
- What do you want? It's pitch black. |
| 02:24:19 |
- It's tinfoil. It looked like a gun! |
| 02:24:22 |
- I'll be fillin' out paperwork for the next two months! |
| 02:24:25 |
- I'm sorry! |
| 02:24:27 |
To get even, |
| 02:24:30 |
and they started shooting up |
| 02:24:44 |
It got to the point where they couldn't |
| 02:24:47 |
because the Feds |
| 02:24:49 |
Even when they talked outside, |
| 02:24:51 |
- Shit, he's covering up again. |
| 02:24:54 |
Nicky found out from a teller |
| 02:24:58 |
He asked me again |
| 02:25:01 |
Walk, walk, walk. |
| 02:25:04 |
He asked me again about you |
| 02:25:07 |
Yeah? |
| 02:25:09 |
I told him |
| 02:25:11 |
Jiggs and Tony Gorilla said |
| 02:25:15 |
You think he's going home |
| 02:25:19 |
Nah, you would have |
| 02:25:22 |
- What's to stop him? |
| 02:25:27 |
I don't trust him anymore, |
| 02:25:31 |
Yeah, but they keep |
| 02:25:34 |
Sure they're asking. |
| 02:25:38 |
I got a funny feeling he's gonna start |
| 02:25:43 |
I'm not sure yet, |
| 02:25:47 |
Who's this guy? |
| 02:25:50 |
That ain't nobody. |
| 02:25:52 |
You know what |
| 02:25:54 |
Get a couple of guys to dig a hole in the |
| 02:25:58 |
- Angelo and Buster. |
| 02:26:02 |
- They'll do it. |
| 02:26:05 |
- Go see the Jew, and you make it disappear. |
| 02:26:09 |
Just let me know. |
| 02:26:11 |
You know what |
| 02:26:13 |
Did I say |
| 02:26:15 |
I said I'm not sure. I'll let |
| 02:26:19 |
Where are these pricks at? |

Calm down. Shh. |
| 02:31:01 |
There's no reason to hide my car! |
| 02:31:05 |
What did I tell you? Supposin' he goes |
| 02:31:08 |
- I gotta know exactly what you said. Tell me what you said. |
| 02:31:12 |
I said, "No, no, no. " Everything |
| 02:31:16 |
I told you this was |
| 02:31:18 |
I said, "Ginger, this is a dangerous |
| 02:31:22 |
If it's so fucking dangerous, |
| 02:31:24 |
I'm not gonna kill him. |
| 02:31:27 |
- Have him killed, and get it over with! |
| 02:31:30 |
I know the guy 35 years, |
| 02:31:34 |
Motherfucker. |
| 02:31:38 |

| 02:31:42 |
How the fuck am I gonna |

You think he's gonna give you |
| 02:31:47 |

| 02:32:04 |
Get out! Get the fuck out! |
| 02:32:07 |
- No! No! |
| 02:32:10 |
I should never have gotten involved |
| 02:32:12 |
You'll fuckin' kill her. |
| 02:32:15 |
- Get her out of here. |
| 02:32:17 |
Let's go. Let's go. |
| 02:32:23 |
I don't need you! |
| 02:32:27 |
- All right. |
| 02:32:31 |
- All right. Be careful. |
| 02:32:35 |
Okay. Yeah. |
| 02:32:38 |
Be careful. Come on. Get inside. |
| 02:32:41 |
- Can you believe that? |
| 02:32:46 |
Whew. |
| 02:32:48 |
I fucked up, Frankie. |
| 02:32:52 |
I should never have started |
| 02:32:55 |
Take it easy. |
| 02:32:58 |
I mean, she threw herself |
| 02:33:03 |
I'm in a bad fuckin' spot here. |
| 02:33:09 |
A bad fuckin' spot. |
| 02:33:26 |
I'd already left |
| 02:33:28 |
and I had about a million |
| 02:33:30 |
that I gave to Sherbert |
| 02:33:33 |
Put it in the hotel safe, |
| 02:34:08 |
- She's alone. |
| 02:34:10 |
- Wait there for me. |
| 02:34:15 |
You fuckin' ignore me, |
| 02:34:19 |
I mean it! |
| 02:34:23 |
Get down here |
| 02:34:27 |
Fuck you! |
| 02:34:29 |
I'm going to drive your fucking |
| 02:34:33 |
You fucking coward! |
| 02:34:38 |
- Come out here and talk to me, you fucker! |
| 02:34:42 |
- You're drunk. You're on drugs. |
| 02:34:44 |
- You're going to be sorry if you don't stop it. |
| 02:34:49 |
You are not |
| 02:34:52 |
You fuck! You fuck! |
| 02:34:56 |
I am fucking Nicky Santoro! |
| 02:35:01 |
How about that, you fuckhead! |
| 02:35:03 |
What are you looking at? |
| 02:35:05 |
Hey. Go back inside! |
| 02:35:09 |
I don't have to take your shit |
| 02:35:12 |
I'm going to the F.B.I.! |
| 02:35:14 |
- I am not protecting you anymore, you fuck! |
| 02:35:18 |
He won't let me inside! |
| 02:35:21 |
Mr. Rothstein, I'm sorry. We've been |
| 02:35:26 |
- I'm trying to get in my house. He won't let me in. |
| 02:35:29 |
I won't let her in. I'm sorry, |
| 02:35:31 |
- I'm not gonna let her in the way she's behaving. |
| 02:35:34 |
- Who knows what you're gonna do in there. |
| 02:35:36 |
I've been in the same |
| 02:35:38 |
- I want to get a few of my things! Big deal! |
| 02:35:40 |
How about if we just let her |
| 02:35:43 |
- This is half her house anyway. |
| 02:35:45 |
You aren't afraid, you fucker! |
| 02:35:47 |
- Let me in the house! |
| 02:35:51 |
- Fucker! Fucker! |
| 02:35:53 |
You ought to be afraid, |
| 02:35:55 |
- It'll make it easier... |
| 02:35:59 |
- we'll be out of your hair. |
| 02:36:02 |
- I am calm! |
| 02:36:06 |
I will let her in the house |
| 02:36:08 |
if you gentlemen will escort her out |
| 02:36:12 |
- Can I go in? Can I go in? |
| 02:36:14 |
- Jeff, would you go in with her? |
| 02:36:20 |
You wouldn't believe how mean he's been to |
| 02:36:24 |
All my papers and things... I have to |
| 02:36:26 |
I know they're in here |
| 02:36:33 |
Just pay attention. |
| 02:36:39 |
Are you watching for him? |
| 02:36:43 |
Got 'em. |
| 02:36:45 |
I don't want her in there |
| 02:36:48 |
No, it'll just be a couple... |
| 02:36:54 |
I'll hurry her up. |
| 02:36:57 |
- How's everything else besides this? |
| 02:36:59 |
- How's your family? |
| 02:37:04 |
- Oh, good. Congratulations. |
| 02:37:07 |
We're kind of happy |
| 02:37:09 |
I just have to get this one more |
| 02:37:13 |
Shit! Fuck! |
| 02:37:15 |
Shit! God! |
| 02:37:18 |
Oh, that pisses me off! |
| 02:37:21 |
And it would be great... |
| 02:37:23 |
if you guys could just |
| 02:37:25 |
because he's been |
| 02:37:28 |
Take care. Thank you. |
| 02:37:49 |
I can't believe this. |
| 02:38:02 |
I just need to pick up a little cash |
| 02:38:11 |
- Charlie, you've got to stop her. You've got to stop her. |
| 02:38:15 |
- What can I do? |
| 02:38:19 |
She has the keys. |
| 02:38:21 |
- Oh! |
| 02:38:24 |
- but I can't. |
| 02:38:26 |
Legally, she can't take that stuff. Half |
| 02:38:28 |
- There's nothing I can do. |
| 02:38:44 |
Shit! Goddamn it! |
| 02:38:48 |
Um, I'm gonna need a bag. If you could |
| 02:38:52 |
- Go get a bag, man. |
| 02:38:54 |
- Lady, I can't take it. |
| 02:38:59 |
- Yes, just hold the top open. |
| 02:39:06 |
Oh, God, it's him. |
| 02:39:09 |
He said he was gonna kill me. |
| 02:39:13 |
Mr. Roth... Mr. Roth... |
| 02:39:15 |
Hold on a second. Hey. |
| 02:39:17 |
- She's driving away. |
| 02:39:21 |
- There's nothing we can do. |
| 02:39:24 |
You can't stop her for speeding? |
| 02:39:27 |
- There's nothing we can do. She had the keys. |
| 02:39:31 |
- Let's pull her over at that Citgo station. |
| 02:39:45 |
- We're placing you under arrest for... |
| 02:39:49 |
- We're placing you under arrest for aiding and abetting... |
| 02:39:52 |
- We're placing you under arrest for aiding and abetting... |
| 02:39:56 |
After all |
| 02:39:58 |
it turned out Ginger |
| 02:40:00 |
- But, by then, the Feds didn't need her anyway. |
| 02:40:03 |
- They had all the pieces they needed. |
| 02:40:07 |
- Everybody began to tumble, one after the other, like dominoes. |
| 02:40:12 |
Between Piscano |
| 02:40:14 |
between Nicky, Ginger, |
| 02:40:18 |
- Paradise. We managed |
| 02:40:22 |
- Mom. |
| 02:40:25 |
F.B.I. We have |
| 02:40:27 |
I got wind of the pinches |
| 02:40:30 |
Who needs to hang around |
| 02:40:32 |
- My name is Mark Casper. Special Agent F.B.I. |
| 02:40:34 |
- Can I make a fuckin' phone call? |
| 02:40:36 |
You can make a phone call, but you |
| 02:40:39 |
Everybody, out of the room. |
| 02:40:42 |
They got almost everybody else. |
| 02:40:46 |
- Get the master account list. |
| 02:40:54 |
Put every box on the table. |
| 02:41:02 |
Ah, yes. Here we are. |
| 02:41:05 |
Green? Don't even ask. |
| 02:41:07 |
- $30,000 of yours. |
| 02:41:10 |
I was being extorted. I'm willing |
| 02:41:14 |
- I've got nothing to hide here. |
| 02:41:16 |
I couldn't believe this shit. |
| 02:41:20 |
- Oh, this is good. Bingo. |
| 02:41:24 |
Everybody's names, addresses, |
| 02:41:27 |
Look at this. Thank you so much, |
| 02:41:31 |
- Those are my mother's books. |
| 02:41:34 |
What a fuckin' balloon-head. |
| 02:41:37 |
- Take it easy. |
| 02:41:39 |
- Wait a minute! He's sick! Oh, God! |
| 02:41:41 |
- I think it's his heart! Oh, God! Is he breathing? |
| 02:41:43 |
Poor Artie. He got so upset, |
| 02:41:46 |
and dropped dead right |
| 02:41:48 |
- Calm down! |
| 02:41:50 |
- He's my husband! Artie! Artie! |
| 02:41:55 |
And at the end of the day... |
| 02:41:57 |
they finally came to see me |
| 02:42:00 |
Why protect a friend |
| 02:42:03 |
But I didn't want to look at them. |
| 02:42:05 |
I didn't want to look at the guys |
| 02:42:10 |
Your Honor, as you can see, |
| 02:42:14 |
Any incarceration could |
| 02:42:17 |
When the bosses were arrested, |
| 02:42:19 |
they needed doctors |
| 02:42:21 |
Pre-trial Services recommends |
| 02:42:24 |
- We're going to take a recess. |
| 02:42:27 |
25 years to life in prison |
| 02:42:30 |
sick or no fuckin' sick, you knew |
| 02:42:33 |
So, the day of the arraignment, they had this |
| 02:42:39 |
See, when something like this happens, |
| 02:42:43 |
It's always better with no witnesses. |
| 02:42:48 |
He won't talk. |
| 02:42:51 |
Stand-up guy |
| 02:42:53 |
That's the way I see it. |
| 02:42:55 |
I agree. He's solid. |
| 02:42:59 |
He's okay. He always was. |
| 02:43:05 |
Look... why take a chance? |
| 02:43:10 |
At least, that's the way |
| 02:43:14 |
Call Artie. Tell him, |
| 02:43:17 |
- he's got to be in my office Thursday morning before 11:00. |
| 02:43:21 |
It's terribly important. I gotta have |
| 02:43:32 |
As much as they liked him, |
| 02:43:35 |
He wasn't Italian. As far as they knew, |
| 02:43:38 |
Otherwise, |
| 02:43:45 |
The first one to skip |
| 02:43:47 |
He found a nice, warm, |
| 02:43:51 |
- He thought nobody |
| 02:44:14 |
But then his kid got nabbed |
| 02:44:17 |
So, naturally, the bosses were |
| 02:44:20 |
just to save his kid |
| 02:44:23 |
So... |
| 02:44:27 |
Where you goin', jag-off? |
| 02:44:31 |
But, anyway, |
| 02:44:33 |
Everybody went down. |
| 02:44:36 |
Fuck you. |
| 02:44:41 |
Before you knew it... |
| 02:44:43 |
anybody who knew anything |
| 02:44:55 |
Oh, no! No! No! |
| 02:45:02 |
After Ginger took off, |
| 02:45:05 |
She found some pimps, lowlifes, |
| 02:45:09 |
In a few months, they went through |
| 02:45:38 |
After they found her body... |
| 02:45:40 |
I had a private doctor |
| 02:45:46 |
He said they gave her |
| 02:45:49 |
In the end, all she had left was 3,600 |
| 02:46:16 |
No matter what the Feds or the papers |
| 02:46:20 |
it was amateur night, |
| 02:46:23 |
Whoever it was, they put |
| 02:46:28 |
But what they didn't know, |
| 02:46:31 |
was that that model car was made with |
| 02:46:37 |
It's the only thing |
| 02:46:52 |
The bombing was never authorized, |
| 02:46:56 |
- Hey, Nicky. |
| 02:46:59 |
- How are you? |
| 02:47:02 |
It took months |
| 02:47:04 |
But, finally, |
| 02:47:06 |
and the bosses wanted me to send |
| 02:47:10 |
Always the dollars. |
| 02:47:12 |
I mean, it was still way too hot |
| 02:47:16 |
So I set up a meeting |
| 02:47:20 |
I didn't want my brother to get fucked |
| 02:47:23 |
They don't give a fuck about... |
| 02:47:26 |
Holy fuckin'! |
| 02:47:28 |
What the fuck... |
| 02:47:30 |
Come on, motherfucker! |
| 02:47:32 |
- Tough guys! |
| 02:47:35 |
- You fuckin' scumbags! |
| 02:47:42 |
- Frankie! |
| 02:47:49 |
- Frankie! Frankie! You piece of shit! |
| 02:47:53 |
Fuckin' punk, |
| 02:48:00 |
No, no, no, no! |
| 02:48:03 |
Take this motherfucker out! |
| 02:48:12 |
Frankie, leave the kid alone. |
| 02:48:15 |
He's still breathing. |
| 02:48:19 |
All right. Strip him. |
| 02:48:25 |
No balls. |
| 02:48:29 |
Ah, Dominick. Ah, Dom. |
| 02:48:38 |
Dominick. Dominick. |
| 02:48:41 |
Dominick. |
| 02:48:46 |
Oh, Dominick. |
| 02:49:03 |
Come on, come on. |
| 02:49:08 |
- Bury them? |
| 02:49:13 |
The word was out. |
| 02:49:15 |
The bosses had enough of Nicky. |
| 02:49:17 |
How much were they gonna take? So they |
| 02:49:23 |
- They buried them |
| 02:49:43 |
Mister, you all right? |
| 02:49:50 |
- Mister, you all right? |
| 02:49:55 |
They had other ideas for me. |
| 02:50:06 |
We need some help over here! |
| 02:50:08 |
You sure are lucky, mister. |
| 02:50:30 |
The town will never be the same. |
| 02:50:34 |
After the Tangiers, |
| 02:50:38 |
Today it looks like Disneyland. |
| 02:50:47 |
And while the kids |
| 02:50:50 |
Mommy and Daddy drop the house payments |
| 02:50:53 |
on the poker slots. |
| 02:50:59 |
In the old days, dealers knew your name, |
| 02:51:03 |
Today, it's like checkin' |
| 02:51:05 |
And if you order room service, |
| 02:51:08 |
Today it's all gone. You got a whale |
| 02:51:13 |
and some 25-year-old hotel school kid is |
| 02:51:20 |
After the Teamsters |
| 02:51:22 |
the corporations tore down practically |
| 02:51:26 |
And where did the money come |
| 02:51:30 |
Junk bonds. |
| 02:51:37 |
Still not sure? |
| 02:51:39 |
Probable. Maybe questionable. |
| 02:51:41 |
Let me know as soon |
| 02:51:44 |
But in the end, I wound up |
| 02:51:48 |
I could still pick winners... |
| 02:51:50 |
and I could still make money |
| 02:51:54 |
And why mess up a good thing? |
| 02:51:57 |
And that's that. |
| 02:54:34 |
# Sometimes I wonder why |
| 02:54:41 |
# Dreaming of a song # |
| 02:54:46 |
# The melody |
| 02:54:54 |
# And I am once again with you # |
| 02:55:00 |
# When our love was new # |
| 02:55:04 |
# And each kiss an inspiration # |
| 02:55:10 |
# Ah, but that was long ago # |
| 02:55:14 |
# And now my consolation # |
| 02:55:16 |
# Is in the stardust of a song # |
| 02:55:23 |
# Beside a garden wall # |
| 02:55:26 |
# When stars were bright # |
| 02:55:28 |
# And you were in my arms # |
| 02:55:33 |
# The nightingale |
| 02:55:41 |
# Of paradise # |
| 02:55:43 |
# Where roses grew # |
| 02:55:50 |
# Though I dream in vain # |
| 02:55:56 |
# In my heart # |
| 02:55:59 |
# It will remain # |
| 02:56:03 |
# My stardust melody # |
| 02:56:06 |
# The memory # |
| 02:56:10 |
# Of love's refrain ## |
