All language subtitles for Lady Mobster

(MultiCom Jingle)

(tense music)

- The families here tonight
control 37 businesses.

Dry cleaners, meat packing
plants, tug boat fleets.

The financing for these companies
comes from other sources.

We've always shared in those profits.

So, here is my offer.

I will continue to take a
percentage of the profits,

but I no longer want cash.

I want to trade my interest
in the numbers and the women

for the legitimate companies.

All the rest I leave to you.

- You will also leave us the heartache.

- And I also will leave you, Malatesta,

the greater share of the profits.

- You just want to run away.

- Colicos, Victor does not run away.

He's not that kind of man.

- Perhaps, Colicos speaks the truth, Tony.

I feel the years,

but mostly I see the
opportunity for my family.

Remember, America is a great country.

- What about the rest of us?

What'll you do for us?

- You all know Walter
March, my conciliary.

He will tell you the details of my plan.

- We project a complete
divestment will take 15 years.

Now, Victor will continue to
lend his strength and wisdom

to the running of the old businesses.

He'll do what is necessary
to maintain our market share.

He asks only for your cooperation.

He will provide a service in return.

He'll funnel cash through his businesses.

The money that he returns back
to you can be freely spent.

He'll do this for as long as he

sits at the table in this room.

- Victor, why not just
go partners like always?

- Because this is how it will be.

(thunder rumbles)

(soft orchestral music)

- Yes, yes.

I promise you it's true.

Oh, God.

I mean, do you believe that?

Bobby Grant asked Jane
Galsworthy to the movies.

It's so gross.

(gun fires)

(woman screams)

There's somebody in the house.

Call the police, quick.

No, no, just help me.

Just call the police.

(tense music)

- Please.

Let me go.

(man yelling)

(laughing)

(gasps)

- No.

(grunting)

(girl crying)

(siren wailing)

(screams)

(crying)

(solemn music)

- Robert?

Paul.

Anna, dear.

- [Robert] Yes, Father?

- Robert, kiss Laurel.

- Laurel.

- Robert.

- Paul.

Anna.

- Hello, Laurel.

- Anna.

- Laurel will live with us now.

She will be a member of the family.

One of us.

And you will make her
feel very welcome, yes?

- Yes, Father.

- Nicholas?

- Yes, sir?

- [Man] Laurel, this is Nicholas Scalfone.

And this is Laurel, Nicholas.

- Nice to meet you, Laurel.

- Hello, Nick.

- Robert, show Laurel around.

- Come on.

It's okay.

- Nick, keep your eye on Laurel for me.

- Yes, Mr. Castle.

(tense music)

- Hey, Colicos.

- What the hell are you doing here?

- You gotta be careful what you eat.

You put on a little weight,
you get slowed down.

Bonjour bono.

- It's your last supper, Colicos.

(gun fires)

(pan clattering)

(knocking on door)

- Come in.

Tony D.

- [Tony] Victor.

- [Victor] Grappa?

- Yes.

Yes, thank you.

Colicos has put aside his objections.

Colicos died a fool.

He held onto the old ways.

There are other ways to
handle a business dispute

besides killing your conciliary.

You and Walter March showed us the future.

- It's a bigger loss not
to have him as council.

His death has cost me dearly.

(subdued music)

- I'm so glad you could make it.

You look beautiful.

- Thank you.

- Let's go in.

- [Laurel] How is he?

- Awake.

He's been waiting for you to get here.

- And Anna.

Where's Anna?

- [Robert] Picking up
little Anthony from school.

- Laurie.

- [Laurel] Paul.

Oh, Paul.

Hello.

- Hi.

Well, Papa's refusing to take
his medicine until you arrive.

Come on.

(knocking on door)

- Come in.

Ah.

- No, no, no.

Let me do all the talking.

Just like always, right?

Well, that's what you get for
having a lawyer in the family.

- But, I.

- Robert called me.

I know.

I know you didn't want him to worry me.

Well, he didn't.

I've been wanting to come back
here for a very long time.

I took a leave of absence.

It's all right.

There'll always be another law
firm when I'm ready for it.

- Did you always talk so much?

- Always.

Oh, I can't tell you how
happy I am to be home.

(soft music)

(Laurel laughing)

- [Anna] Laurel, can you
give me a hand over here?

- Okay, last time. (laughs)

What exactly would you
like me to do for you?

- Just hold these.

- Okay.

The last time I saw Angela,
she was just as big as a minute

and now she's ready for preschool.

Sometimes I get the feeling
I'm gonna start a big case,

go into the courtroom, and
by the time I come out,

she's gonna be graduating from Harvard.

- The kids really missed you, Laurel.

- The elusive Aunt Laurel.

The mystery relative.

- The last time I heard from you,

it was 3:30 in the morning.

- Well, who else can I talk
to when my heart is broken?

- Mario thought it was my boyfriend.

- Boyfriend?

- A girl can dream.

(both laugh)

- Oh, Anna.

Your whole life is a dream.

Don't ever wake up.

- Look at you two.

Looks like a union meeting here.

You know, it's a good
thing you didn't become

an auto mechanic.

- You try it, Paulie.

- No, thanks.

I think I'll stick to the priesthood.

I just spoke to the doctor
and Pop's gonna be fine

providing we can keep
him out of harm's way.

We have to try and reduce
the aggravations in his life.

- Hey, you two.

Let me have a few minutes
with her here, huh?

Come on, let's go for a walk.

- Oh, I have missed them so much.

It's been far too long.

- You've changed, you know that?

- Oh, you mean my new look.

I did myself over last winter.

Part of my PR campaign to make partner.

- No, it's more than that.

Last summer you were still,
I don't know, a beginner.

You seem more self confident now.

More...

- Experienced?

Oh, yes.

After a year in the big
leagues, I am now a veteran.

Hope I'm not losing my feminine charm.

- No, no, no.

You are just right the way you are.

- I haven't asked you about you.

- Me?

What's to ask?

Business as usual.

- Oh, come on.

There's more to your life than business.

- Not lately.

- What's this about you
and the Justice Department?

- They're on our back because
Pop's trying to sell off

all the family businesses.

We're going legitimate, Laurel.

And no one knows this,

but he's taking all the cash

and buying a chain of hotels on the coast.

Del Sol Resorts.

We'll finally complete
what your father started

all those years ago.

- Oh, Robert.

That's wonderful.

- Robert, phone call for you.

- Okay.

Excuse me.

She's back.

- Nick.
- Laurel.

- Oh, it's so good to see you here.

- Well, where else would I be?

How long are you gonna stay?

- For as long as necessary.

- Now, you ever need
anything, you know who to ask.

- Just like always.

- I've got some work
I've gotta get back to.

I'll see you a little later.

Welcome home.

- Thank you.

- All these details.

Look, my father is sick.

I don't want to be here,

so let's just get this over with, hmm?

- So far this reads like
chapter six of Little Women.

Come on, Castle.

You've got everything in your books

but Sister Theresa curing the lepers.

- What the hell is your problem?

Our company had a good year.

- Mr. Albertini, my client, Robert Castle,

came here voluntarily.

He has opened his books to you

and fully disclosed the
working of his business,

yet you insist on impugning his character.

- All right, save the snow
job for the courtroom, huh?

- What crimes are we charged with?

- [Mr. Albertini] All of them.

- So far you got nothing but talk.

- Maybe you've heard of the
federal racketeering statutes?

All such profits and property
gained through racketeering...

- Racketeering has not yet been proved,

nor is it likely to be.

- Thank you for your opinion.

All such property and profits
may be seized by the courts.

Hey, Bobby.

Any day now we're gonna
take everything you have.

- You can try, you bastard.

- The big house, the bank
accounts, the stock portfolios.

We're even gonna take the
water out of your pool.

- I don't have time for this crap.

- Make time.

A $50 haircut doesn't
make a man respectable.

- And a cheap suit
doesn't make a man honest.

(tense music)

(door closes)

- Take it easy on the kid, Gino.

For his father's sake, he's a little edgy.

- I can see why.

Robert's not tough
enough, or smart enough,

to be the head of a crime family, Charlie.

They're in a lot of trouble
when the old man goes.

- Just take your time.

- Where's you father, Roberto?

Is he too sick to come?

- Tonight, I speak for my father.

- You gotta offer us some
consideration, Robert.

You know what I'm talking about?

I mean, right now I got
four mil in dirty money

only there ain't no place to dump it.

- Freddy D, I can sympathize
with your position.

- Mm-hmm.

- But, you gotta realize
that the Castle family

has also been placed
in a difficult position

by the Justice Department.

We've been threatened with
the new racketeering statutes.

- Hey, Roberto.

The feds are blowing smoke.

- Yeah, right up our noses.

- Okay.

So, you're telling me that you

don't handle our money anymore.

Is that it?

- Tony D, what the hell's going on here?

Your son knows we had a deal.

It's always been the understanding.

Already we're five years
over the limit my father set.

We can't be a pipeline
for your money anymore.

- Robert, for old times.

Why not help us out?

We're getting squeezed.

I mean, think about the other fella, huh?

- I can't do it, Malatesta.

You have to understand our situation.

It's all just business.

- What the hell does
Victor say about all this?

- I speak for the Castles.

- Then, why don't you have
him rethink his position?

- Because I can give
you an answer right now.

That way you don't have to wait.

Here's the bottom line.

We can't handle your money.

- Oh, yeah?

What's the problem?

- Right now my father's looking to net 40,

maybe 50, million.

We have to sell off the businesses

to raise that kind of money.

- That's a lot of cash, Roberto.

What is Victor trying
to do, double-cross us?

- No.

Tony D, you know Pop's been
trying to go legitimate.

Next time you go west, all of you,

you'll be staying at
a Castle resort hotel.

- Hotels?

Out West.

Why didn't Victor tell us this?

(tense music)

- Castle, what the hell's going on here?

Someone's got to the unions.

These goons have shut me down.

- The Castle family sold
you a good business.

We never had a day's
trouble with the unions

when we owned the warehouse.

- Look, pal.

Right now I'm going broke
because somebody's mad at you.

This keeps up, maybe I'm not gonna be able

to make my second payment.

- Listen, pal.

Right now we've got a major
business deal pending.

Find a way to come up with the cash.

My father does not like
to be disappointed.

(explosion booms)

(bell ringing)

- Every time I sell a
business, there's a problem.

I sell a dry cleaners and two
days later the plant blows up.

I sell a packing plant and
suddenly the unions strike.

And the new owner can no
longer hang his sides of beef.

- Well, these acts of sabotage

have had a chilling
effect on our cashflow.

Mallory has agreed to
sell us Del Sol Resorts,

but he's getting very nervous
about our securing financing.

- He has 10 million of my money in escrow.

Just what does he want?

- Anna, is the family at war?

- I learned a long time
ago, Laurel, never to ask.

It's better not to know.

- The law is on our side, Charles.

I have a contract with
Mallory to buy Del Sol.

Remind him of this fact
and tell him I'll drag him

through every court in the land.

- How are you today, Charles?

- Ah, Laurel.

Up to my neck, thanks.

- [Laurel] Are you going to
sue for breach of contract?

- No, there's no grounds yet.

- Who's doing this to you?

- Malatesta wants us to
keep laundering money.

- Robert, you talk too much.

Laurel, I'm afraid you came east

at a very bad time for the family.

- Papa, what you need now is time.

I can buy it for you.

Let me help Charles negotiate
the contracts with Del Sol.

Deal with the banks and
the owners in California.

- I'm snowed under, Victor.

I could use all the help I can get.

You worked with Charlie
and Watkins on the coast?

- Yes, corporate takeovers.

I was about to be made partner.

- It's one of the best firms.

- Papa, let me help you.

- No, I don't want you involved in this.

You'll go to California as planned.

I want this deal closed.

- [Robert] Nice hit.

- Oh, oh.

You are much too good for me.

Next time, you have to
spot me at least one game.

- No way.

- Well, then.

I'll just have to cheat.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

- Come back here.

I got you, I got you.

Come here.

If we play, you're gonna have
to beat me fair and square.

- I would like to do just that.

(soft music)

This could be complicated.

- Why?

Just 'cause we grew up in the same house?

We're not blood.

You were just a little
girl who came to dinner

20 years later.

- I remember you always
used to screen my dates.

You even threw Sammy
Tuttle off the front porch

because he got fresh.

- Sammy had wandering hands.

Besides, nobody was good enough for you.

- You sure?

Most people when they fall in love,

they just jump into things

without really knowing the other person.

So lucky, our time together.

And nothing's wrong when
two people love each other.

- Bring Mike and Roger back
from Miami, Franco from Chicago.

I want men around me I can trust.

- [Laurel] What do you
mean I can't go in there?

Of course, I'm going in.

- Let her in.

- Victor, what has happened?

- Thank you for the tray, Laurel.

Would you excuse us now, please?

- No.

No, I won't be shut out of here again.

What's going on?

- Charles Walker is dead.

- Why was he killed?

- I made a mistake with Malatesta.

I let him know our business, so he hit us.

- My son, listen to me.

Never apologize, never explain.

Do what has to be done.

Take what comes.

I thought Malatesta
might approach Charles.

Offer him a practice
in the Virgin Islands.

I did not think he would go this far.

- Del Sol is a tricky negotiation

and you're also short one attorney.

Why not let me help?

- We'll find another way.

- Papa, corporate takeovers
are what I do for a living.

- That may be, but you are
not to be part of this.

- I grew up in this house.

You raised me as one of your own.

Do you really think I had no idea

what was going on behind closed doors?

I know what I have seen and heard.

My father gave his life to try to help you

get your family out of the old businesses.

His death cost you five years.

But now, you're in a position
to acquire Del Sol Resorts.

You can finally take
your family legitimate.

I am part of this, Victor.

I am part of this family.

Please, let me help you.

Look, you have only six
days before you have to make

the Del Sol payment and,
obviously, you don't have the cash.

So, you have to get to Mallory.

As CEO he can persuade his
partners to extend the deadline.

Victor, who else are you gonna
get to handle this for you?

Where else are you gonna find

such a top-flight
negotiator you can trust?

Send Robert and me to the coast.

We'll talk to Mallory.

Together we can persuade him.

I know the law and Robert
speaks for the family.

- All right.

You are to handle only the Del Sol matter.

I do not want you involved
with anything else.

You understand?

- Hi, Frank.

It's Laurel.

I need your help.

I'd like the Del Sol
Resorts P&L statements

for the last five years

and anything else you can find on Del Sol.

I'd also like the book on Alfred Mallory.

He's there top guy.

(tires squealing)

(subdued music)

Oh, Robert.

It's beautiful.

- [Robert] We're getting
nine more of these.

Including one in the Virgin Islands.

- So then, do you understand
my problem, Mr. Castle?

- Do you understand mine, Mr. Mallory?

You accepted our offer.

- Pending approval of your ability

to come up with the remaining financing.

- Our offer is secure.

The down payment is in escrow

and our other companies
won't show the balance.

- Your businesses are
plagued with problems,

so I am only interested in cash.

I'm afraid this becomes
a matter for the courts.

- Mr. Mallory, I take it your
refusal to extend the deadline

is final and irrevocable?

- I can't imagine a
circumstance under which

I would extend the deadline.

- I can.

Let's pass over, for the moment,

the fact that you are not
negotiating in good faith.

- [Mallory] I resent the implication.

- I'm not implying anything.

It's a fact.

You are trying to weasel
out of a sweet deal.

- I have the interest of my
partners to protect, Ms. March.

- Then, you had better do
business with the Castles.

- Are you threatening me?

- Let's start with the bottom line.

Shall we, Mr. Mallory?

You claim that the annual
cashflow for the Del Sol Resorts

before taxes is 73 million dollars.

- [Mallory] You have
our financial statement?

- Oh, is that really what you call this?

Your annual cashflow
is 40 million dollars.

- Now, just how did you
arrive at that figure?

- My computer talks to yours.

Furthermore, you claim 11 million dollars

in accumulated inventory.

- A conservative figure.

- Six, tops.

- You can't just walk in here

and start making wild accusations.

- What we have here, Mr. Mallory,

is an elaborate case of fraud.

You have engaged in a
pattern of criminal behavior

designed to defraud the Castle family.

Your accountants have
falsified and inflated figures.

You have filed false statements with

the Securities and Exchange Commission.

You are a crook, Mr. Mallory.

- And you're whistling
in the dark, Ms. March.

- No, I'm not and you know it.

So, here's the bottom line, Mr. Mallory.

You will adjust your price downward

by seven million dollars.

You will extend our deadline.

You will do this, Mr. Mallory,

or all spring you will be
up to your hindquarters

in civil suits, criminal indictments,

and other assorted embarrassing disasters.

- You can have your extension,

but if you can't raise the money.

- Oh, don't worry, Mr. Mallory.

There is no way that Victor Castle

will let the book value
of his assets drop.

Nice doing business with you.

- Damn, but you are good.

I have never seen you like that.

- Well, your father always taught me.

Never negotiate from a
position of weakness.

- Did you really tap
into Mallory's computer?

- Oh, Robert.

There are some things
you just shouldn't know.

It might compromise you.

- That's a joke, right?

(knocking on door)

- Come in.

I have a job for you.

Get Malatesta's attention.

Take out his enforcer.

(suspenseful music)

- Hey, Tony.

How come Malatesta never warned you?

Smoking is hazardous to your health.

(gun fires)
(Tony grunts)

- 20 years ago, I might have
killed everyone in this room.

People at this table are
messing with my business.

Fortunately, today I am
a more reasonable man.

- You can tell that to my enforcer.

Only he's lying on a slab in the morgue.

- You take one of mine,
I take one of yours.

- You hurt our business,
we hurt your business.

We spoke to Robert.

He didn't listen to us.

He said that you're buying hotels

and he tells us to take
our business elsewhere.

What kind of friendship is that?

Where is the consideration?

- That's right, Victor.

Put me right out of business.

- We end this now.

- So far, I don't hear anything new.

- My father's come here tonight
to offer you a compromise.

Call off the dogs.

- And what do we get in return?

- Three of the legitimate businesses

will be transferred to an
offshore holding company.

We'll continue to handle
money for the next five years.

- So, who are we dealing with?

- The board of directors
of the holding company.

- I only deal with a man I trust.

I don't like doing business with strangers

on some lousy little
island in the Pacific.

- The Cayman Islands government
is not obligated to support

any subpoenas from a US court, or the IRS.

It's the best way, Mr. Malatesta.

All of us are protected.

- Victor, it's not the way we do things.

- My father says you're a smart man.

Surely, you can see the
wisdom in this arrangement.

You get what you want,
we get what we want.

Everybody wins.

- Five years?

- You have our word.

- You process our money, we end the war.

(people chattering)

- Three nights in a row
Mario's worked late.

I think he's got a girl on the side.

- [Paul] Why don't you get
Pop to put a tail on him.

- Ah, come on.

He really works hard.

- You call that work?

- [Anna] Yes, I do.

- Quiet, everyone.

Robert has a few words to say.

- It's because he only knows a few words.

- No, it's because I only talk

when I have something that matters.

Unlike some people at this table, Anna.

- You know, it's amazing.

Some things never change.

You two guys...

- And you.

Hey, you only became a priest

so that people have to listen to you.

- Oh, that's a good, uh.

- Unfortunately, it doesn't
always work that way.

- Can I get on with this?

- Get on with what?

So far, all we...

- So far, I can't get a word in edgewise.

- Well, try talking faster.

Come on.

Faster, Robert.

Faster.

Come on, let's go.

- Laurel and I...

Laurel and I are getting married.

- Oh, that is wonderful.

Congratulations.

So, you finally got around to asking him.

- I did not.

You are so bad.

- [Anna] I know, I know.

- Congratulations.

I am very happy for you.

- Nice thing about having
a priest in the family,

you don't have to go to
strangers to get married.

- Well, I'm probably the only guy

who would stoop low
enough to marry you two.

- Hey, Pop knows the archbishop.

- Papa, do you think it would be possible

for Laurel to wear Mama's wedding dress?

- Of course.

If she'd like to.

- Oh, yes, Victor.

I would love to.

Thank you.

- Anna was too fat to wear it.

(laughs)

- Four months too fat, wasn't it?

- Don't let the children hear
you say a thing like that.

- No, no, I would never.

- Is it a cardinal sin to hit
a priest or only a venial one?

- In that case, it was a civic duty.

- It was only a tap.

Are you hurt?

- No, I'm not hurt.

I absolve you.

- [Anna] Thank you very much.

I was worried.

(people applauding)

- Thank you for coming today.

For sharing the happiness of
my son and my beloved Laurel.

May they both know the
good fortune I have known.

May they have a long
and happy life together.

And now, I will begin the dance.

(people applauding)

- Papa, do you really
think that you should?

- Of course.

I must dance with Laurel
on her wedding day.

(elegant music)

40 years ago this month

Mary wore this same dress at our wedding.

Thank you for wearing it today.

- Think maybe we better go cut in?

- I think you're right.

(laughs)

Excuse me, sir.

May I?

- May I have this dance?

- Papa, why don't you
have a seat now, okay?

Nick?

Papa, I'm gonna dance
with my husband, okay?

- Roberto, excuse me. (laughs)

- Certainly.

- For a few minutes I'm young again.

- Mr. D'Angelo, you and Victor
are gonna outlive us all.

- [Tony] Oh. (laughs)

(people applauding)

- Short, but sweet.

Eh, Tony D?

(laughs)

- Victor, 40 years ago I
danced at your wedding.

Where have the years gone?

When I dream, I'm still
a young man. (laughs)

- Hey, Victor.

What the hell's going on?

- It's my son's wedding.

- You have the Cayman banks, Victor.

You control the cashflow
and now you set this quota.

- Freddy, stop.

- No, what's that all about?

That leaves me holding cash.

That's my cash.

I don't like that.

I got two million sitting in a shoebox.

- This is not the time.

- Freddy D, we don't talk
business at such occasions.

- Place don't matter, Victor.

You people are getting
hard to talk to anywhere.

- Freddy.

- I'm sorry, Victor.

Young man, you know.

I'll speak with him.

Freddy.

- Get a man next to Freddy D.

Talk to our contact at the phone company.

I want tapes of all calls in and out.

- Is that all?

- For now.

- Have I told you lately
how much I love you?

- You could never love me enough.

- Don't say that, or I'm an annoyance.

- Robert?

Robert?

- I'm right here.

- Oh.

I thought you left me already.

- Hey, what are you talking about?

I am never gonna leave you.

(tense music)

- I'll wait for my husband to order.

Robert, look out!

(gun fires)

Robert!

Robert!

Robert!

Robert!

Robert!

Robert!

Help him!

Robert!

Robert!

(solemn music)

- [Paul] In the name of
the Father, and of the Son,

and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

The grace and peace of God, our Father,

and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

- [All] And also with you.

- Dearly beloved, brothers and sisters.

So that we can prepare to
receive the sacred mysteries,

let us call to mind.

Oh, Lord, we have sinned against you.

Lord, have mercy.

- [All] Lord, have mercy.

(soft music)

(knocking on door)

- [Nick] Laurel?

- Yes, Nick?

You said if I ever needed
anything just to ask.

- Right.

- Find me his killer.

(knocking on door)

Leave us alone for a minute.

- Ah, my child.

- You are responsible for everything

that's been wonderful in my life.

- There's so much I wanted to do,

but now I've grown old.

I had hopes to leave the streets behind.

To see my children, and
my children's children,

take their rightful places in the world.

Fearing no man.

With nothing to hide.

Only, it's not happened.

Robert's death.

Little ones live here like prisoners.

They go out to play with
armed guards, not nannies.

It's no kind of life.

No.

Laurel, I want you to promise me.

- Yes, Papa.

I know.

I promise you.

I will finish your dream.

Now, you rest.

You're gonna be just fine.

(knocking on door)

- [Nick] Laurel?

- Yes, Nick?

- The day of your wedding,

Victor ordered a wiretap on Freddy D.

Freddy D just called Malatesta.

They congratulated each
other on having Robert hit.

(tense music)

- Robert's death very
nearly killed Victor.

I don't think Victor should
be bothered with this matter.

- Just tell me what you want.

(laughs)

(gun firing)

(glass breaking)

- I'm Laurel Castle, Mr. Albertini.

- Then, why don't you sit down?

Just what did you hope to accomplish

by coming here to see me?

- I'm here in response to your subpoena.

- That subpoena had Victor
Castle's name on it.

Only, Victor keeps sending
me the second string.

- This is a power of attorney.

I now speak for Victor Castle.

Mr. Albertini, two months
ago Victor had a stroke

and he lost his son, my husband.

- I wanted to talk to him about that.

- Extend your condolences?

- (chuckles) Used to be
a lawyer, Mrs. Castle?

- [Laurel] I still am.

- Really?

Surely, you realize the penalties
for refusing to cooperate

with an ongoing federal
crime investigation?

- So far, I don't recall your
having asked me a question.

- Why was I stonewalled
by your man at the bank?

- First Liberty Bank handles unit trusts

for Anna's children.

How is that a crime?

- What's a two-year-old doing

with a numbered Swiss bank account?

Laundering Monopoly money?

- You leave the children out of this.

- Just what are all these people to you?

- These people are my family.

- Well, that's one hell
of a family you got there.

- Robert told me a few things
about you, Mr. Albertini.

He said you were an honest lawyer.

Also, a humorless bastard.

He was a great judge of character.

Nice meeting you.

- A pleasure.

- [Nick] Will you be
needing the car again?

- No, thank you, Nick.

- All right, put it in the garage.

- Victor?

Victor?

(dramatic music)

Victor.

Oh, Papa.

Oh, Papa.

No.

(crying)

Right now we have to move fast.

All over town I want business as usual.

I want Mallory, the rest of the world,

to know that the Castle
family is still in charge.

I want to see Tony D.

- Since we killed his son, he's in hiding.

He's afraid he's next.

- Tony D has nothing to fear, Nick.

Bring him to me.

I'll tell him that myself.

- Are you sure about that?

- I owe Tony D a favor.

For old times.

Years ago he killed Peter Kalikas,

the man who killed my mother and father.

- Laurel, that was a long time ago.

- Some things you never forget.

I need Tony D to end the war.

Find him for me.

I'll take it from there.

(tense music)

- [Nick] Excuse me.

I would appreciate it if you'd be so kind

as to check your register
for an Anthony D'Angelo.

- Not here.

- Tony's an old guy.

Checked in last night.

Give me a number.

- 305.

- Joey.

Just relax.

Don't make me kill you.

(grunts)

(wood breaks)

- Am I dead?

- Not unless you work overtime at it.

(subdued music)

He'll be all right.

- Thank you.

Thank you for not killing Joey Fingers.

- I just hope I don't live to regret

my charity, Mr. D'Angelo.

- Hey.

You know, you got a hell
of a nerve coming here.

You know that?

- The Castle family sits on this council.

- Victor Castle is dead.

His son Robert, also dead.

And you, you're not in the business.

Now, why don't you go
home and bake a cake?

Play with some kids or something, huh?

- You dealt with Victor,
now you deal with me.

I sit at this table.

- Are you serious?

You don't have a negotiating position.

And besides, it's too risky
to do business with you.

- Every time you go into
business you take a risk.

A smart man minimizes his market risk.

Adapts to the changes in the marketplace.

Malatesta and Freddy D employed
outdated business methods.

They didn't adapt.

Only the fit survive.

There's no need for that to happen again.

Right now the Cayman Islands corporations

and the Swiss bank accounts
are open for business.

We can handle 30 million a week.

Does anyone have a problem with that?

Good.

Now, we get down to the business at hand.

The killing stops here tonight.

- What guarantee do we have
that this vendetta is over?

- Because the men at
this table are too smart

to mess with our businesses again.

You leave us alone, there's peace.

You have the word of a Castle on it.

- What about Tony D?

He's out there somewhere in the night.

We won't like it.

His son ended life with
his face in his dessert.

- Why don't we just ask
Tony D where he stands?

- Good luck if you can find him.

(door opening)

- Tony?

- Laurel Castle and I have
spoken and she is right.

Thank you.

Two sons have died for what?

A dispute over a few dollars.

What price can you put on a life, huh?

I admit to a wrong.

Victor Castle and I were
friends all his life.

And my son killed his son.

Victor killed my Freddy, so we're squared.

Now, we bury our dead.

(uptempo music)

- Mrs. Castle?

It's a pleasure to see you again.

Please, allow me to extend my condolences

on the death of your husband.

- Yes, thank you very much.

Harry Mallory, Nicholas Scalfone.

- Mr. Mallory.

- [Harry] Pleasure.

- Mr. Scalfone is a business associate.

- My intuition says
that you're an attorney.

- Well, I've had dealings with the law

on more than one occasion, yeah.

- Shall we?

- Yes, of course.

I'll meet you here.

- See you in a minute.

- Our check for 20 million dollars.

That's the first installment.

The second is due in 60 days,
you'll have it in one month.

- Seems like you've turned
around the situation

with your cashflow.

- Yes, we have alleviated the problem.

It's business as usual.

- Do you have plans for tonight?

- Mr. Mallory, am I to believe

you are inviting me to dinner?

- The thought had crossed my mind.

- Nick and I are going to do the town.

We're going to celebrate our good fortune.

- Ah, the purchase of Del Sol?

- Staying alive.

- A little cold?

- A little.

- I'd give you my jacket, but, um.

- Oh, I know.

Thanks anyway.

Cathy Mulgew.

Whatever happened to her?

- Uh.

Well, she started talking
about her biological clock.

- No, she didn't.

I've seen you with Anna's children.

You're just a natural.

Come on, Nick.

Tell me what happened to her.

- Families are a liability
in my line of work.

Get too happy, you lose the edge.

- That may be the saddest
thing I've ever heard.

- It's just the way life is.

Be sure the seal's not broken.

- Nick, the war is over.

- Just check it out.

- Yes, sir.

- How long have you known me?

- 20 years.

- You ever see me take a drink?

- Tonight's a special occasion.

I wanted someone to celebrate
the good news with me.

- We could ring for the
guy from room service.

- Nick, I really wanted
to share it with you.

Sometimes, I think you
are the luckiest thing

that ever happened to me.

Well, I certainly can't drink alone.

(subdued music)

- Do you want the door open, or shut?

- Open.

You don't have to be gentle.

I won't break.

(suspenseful music)

(gun cocks)

(gun firing)

- Drop it, slowly.

Frankie.

You'd kill your mother for chump change.

- Nick, you understand the game, huh?

- Who sent you?

- I don't know the guy's name.

(grunts)

Look.

Look, okay, I met the guy two weeks ago.

Two weeks ago at a poker game.

He had a snake tattooed on his right hand.

- [Nick] Give us a name.

- [Frankie] Guys like
that, they ain't got names.

Look, I don't know.

I swear I don't know.

Look, I'll make something
up if it'll make you happy,

but why can't you just
settle for the truth, huh?

- Nick, all this time we thought Colicos

ordered the hit on my parents.

When we find out who that man
with the tattoo works for,

we find out who really
murdered my mother and father.

- Someone close.

Someone who knows our business.

- Nick, I want him.

Charles, double the shift on the compound.

No one goes in or out.

Peter, go to Tony D'Angelo and tell him

that the Castle family
still honors its word.

Nick, I want wiretaps put on
all the members of the council.

We must find out who ordered that hit.

Until then, it's business as usual.

- I got some important information.

Our friend with the tattoo
is a hired gun named Fowler.

Works out of Cicero.

Gets top dollar.

- Who's paying him now?

- He works close to the vest.

Never talks business.

- Send to of your best men to Cicero.

- No need.

Fowler's close.

He's on hold awaiting orders,
but he knows we're looking.

Changes hotels every day.

Registers under two,
three different names.

I'll find him for you.

Count on it.

- Now, wait a minute.

Just wait a minute.

You and Nick were almost
killed in California.

- Paul, none of us is safe.

Now, please come home.

We can protect you there.

- Laurel, I'm a priest.

This is my church.

A priest lives where he serves.

- Then, I brought you a new alter boy.

- No, no.

I don't want this kind of protection.

- Please, don't do this.

Don't give me a hard time about this.

You are in danger.

- What I was afraid would
happen has happened.

And it frightens me that you
are so good at what you do.

- Paul, the man who
ordered my parents' death

is still alive.

I'm not gonna let him go free.

- An eye for an eye?

It's no good, Laurel.

We're not barbarians.

- Paul, everyone I have ever loved

has been ripped out of my life.

I'm not gonna let anyone
else do that to me.

- No, no.

Fits all wrong.

You still have a poof.

Please.

- Yes.

- Let's make another choice, Laurel.

- [Laurel] Nick, is this really necessary?

- Listen to me.

I'm not always gonna be here.

It's time you learned
how to protect yourself.

It's a trade off, Laurel.

Nine millimeter.

Doesn't have the punch, but
bulges less than the .38.

The holster lays straight down.

So, the weapon slides out
without getting caught up.

Just put a little talcum powder
in there every now and then

to keep it dry.

- Mrs. Castle, please.

That's the thing about an Italian suit.

You start with quality material,

you end up looking like a million bucks.

- I still remember when I
was 13 and my parents...

You never left my side.

- [Nick] It was my job.

- Well, I didn't know that then.

I just knew that you were
always there and I felt safe.

Nothing's changed.

It's funny after all these
years, you're still here.

You're still taking care of me.

- All right, let's see
you draw the weapon.

(slow guitar music)

- No, no, no.

Shh.

Go back to sleep.

It's okay.

Everything's gonna be all right.

I'm here.

(knocking on door)

- I found Fowler.

- Good.

- Fowler!

(gun fires)

(grunts)

Who pays your way, Fowler?

- Look, I'm already bleeding inside.

Let me deal my way out of this.

- Okay.

We take you as far as the hospital.

Now, talk.

- I work for Tony D'Angelo.

(tense music)

- How long?

(gun cocks)

- I've always worked for him.

I'm on permanent retainer.

Tony D ran everything.

He was behind all the killings!

He was behind Malatesta!

Behind his own son!

Don't kill me.

- You killed my parents.

- Don't kill me.

Don't kill me.

(gun firing)

- I want to know what evidence you have

against the Castle family.

- Now, why would I tell you that?

- Because I can give you the rest.

- Why would you make things easy for me?

- Only one thing matters to me.

The welfare of Father
Paul Castle, Anna Castle,

her husband Mario, and
their three children.

Angela, Rosina, and Anthony Castle.

- How do I guarantee their safety?

- That's why I'm here today.

Six blind trusts of a
million dollars each.

Principle and interest guaranteed.

Boston Liberty Bank will
operate these funds.

No charges now, or in the future,

to be brought against any
member of the Castle family

for crimes allegedly committed.

- Excepting yourself.

- I haven't done anything
that keeps me up nights.

- You sure about that?

We just found a guy floating in the ocean.

Fowler?

Fowler was a hired gun.

Perhaps, you've heard of him.

- No, I can't say that I have.

Well, maybe we didn't
travel in the same circles.

(Gino laughs)

Give me the deal in writing, Albertini.

- All right.

Deal.

(tense music)

- Well, that takes care
of the Castle family.

All right.

Now, I want to talk to
you about the D'Angelos

and the other families.

- [Gino] Why, you want
to lodge a complaint?

- I want to put them out of
business now and forever.

I want each one of these
guys serving a minimum

of seven consecutive life terms.

I'm gonna open my files to you.

- Why are you doing this, Laurel?

Sudden burst of conscience?

- Self interest, Gino.

The only way I can make the
world safe for the Castle family

is to destroy everyone in its way.

- [Tony On Phone] Hello?

- Mr. D'Angelo?

- [Tony On Phone] Yeah.

- It's Laurel Castle.

- Laurel, it's so nice to hear your voice.

What can I do for you?

- It's time we talked.

- Well, you're right.

It is time.

Just you and I, agree?

- Agreed.

- [Tony On Phone] When?

- How about lunch tomorrow?

- Lunch?

Perfect.

How would 11 o'clock at
the Ponte Rome restaurant

be for you?

- Fine.

Fine, I'll see you then.

Goodbye.

- [Tony On Phone] Goodbye.

- What is it, Laurel?

- Nick, I need you to fly to the coast.

This must be delivered to Mallory by hand.

You're the only one I can trust.

- When do we make our move against Tony D?

- When you get back.

- You okay without me?

- No, but I'll handle it.

Well, your flight leaves in two hours.

(subdued music)

Nick.

Take care of yourself.

Bless me Father for I have sinned.

- How long has it been
since your last confession?

- It's been a long time, Paul.

I came to say goodbye.

- Are you in trouble?

- No.

Everything's gonna be all right.

- Laurie, there can only be forgiveness

if you forswear what's in your heart.

Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord.

Can you promise me that your
heart is free of vengeance?

- God forgives, I can't.

I will always hate those
who do harm to this family.

I will never stop
wishing for their deaths.

- Then, I cannot grant you absolution.

(tense music)

- What's this?

- Ms. Castle told me to give this to you,

but not until we get to the airport.

- Let me have it.

Come on, come on, come on.

What the?

Where's Laurel?

- I don't know, Nick.

- Turn around!

(tires squealing)

Vintorio, Nick.

Where did Laurel go when she
left the house this morning?

- [Laurel] You were told
to expect Laurel Castle.

- Mr. D'Angelo is waiting for you.

- [Tony] You look beautiful. (laughs)

- Well, you're looking very
well yourself, Mr. D'Angelo.

- [Tony] Please, sit down.

- Thank you.

Very nice of you to meet with
me like this, Mr. D'Angelo.

I do so want to resolve our
differences face to face.

- Try the fig and prosciutto.

Savano flies the ham all
the way from Italy. (laughs)

He has to pay off a guy at Kennedy.

Customs won't allow ham in the country.

Not enough nitrates.

Can you imagine that?

(both laugh)

Keeping a ham out of America

because it's not pumped
full of chemicals. (laughs)

It is a pleasure to dine with a woman

who's not afraid to eat.

How about a glass of wine, huh?

- No, no, no, thank you.

No, no, not at the moment.

Tell me something, Mr. D'Angelo.

How did things get this far?

- It happens when there's no trust.

Happens when an old friend suddenly asks

that we do business with a bank.

- A few weeks ago you said to me

that it was time to bury the dead.

A lot's happened since then.

- Huh?

- Your hired gun missed me at Del Sol.

Right now he is trying
to explain to the feds

exactly why he was
shooting up my hotel room.

Sooner or later, Mr. D'Angelo.

Sooner or later they're gonna figure out

that the trail leads back to you.

Don't worry, I came alone.

That was the deal.

You can relax.

(laughs)

- You make me nervous
saying those crazy things.

- Fowler is dead.

- Fowler?

Is that supposed to mean something to me?

- Fowler killed my parents, my husband.

Fowler named you.

- Hey, you put a gun to a
guy's head, he'll say anything.

- No, he didn't say just anything.

He named you.

You should've killed me.

- You think you can stand in my way?

Huh, you?

Some snot-nosed law school girl
with a chip on her shoulder?

I've taken out better
men than you like that.

You people.

Listen, you come from the gutter, yeah?

You'll end up in the gutter.

All you can ask for is a luxury ride.

But, Victor.

He left us behind.

He wanted to be bad.

He gave us the streets.

What a gesture, huh?

You killed my boy, my Freddy.

So, now I'm not gonna stop
until you're all gone.

All of you.

The priest, the babies.

All muerte!

You'll understand.

(door opens)

(tense music)

- Why don't you sit this one out, Nick?

Put you in the freezer.

You won't even have a
chill before it's over.

- I love her, Joey.

- [Joey] Love's a liability
in our line of work, Nick.

- Don't make me go through you.

- You can always try.

(gun cocks)

(gun fires)

(gun firing)

(glass shattering)

(gasping)

- You killed everyone I ever loved.

- I'm not done yet.

(gun fires)

(sirens wailing)

(tense music)

(MultiCom Jingle)
