Tonight on Acapulco.

Hey, you're on.

There's the

You the people from Acapulco Heat?

Yeah, you want to buy a bikini?

We want to buy you.

We want to do business.

Well, we open on the beach in 20 minutes, so... Mr. Rocco hates the sun.

He wants to talk here.

We can't wait. The shop has to open on time. Or what?

Or we lose money.

Ten fails.

Now you're on time again.

Come on with us.

Hey, hey, hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down, Pops. We're not going anywhere.

Don't push it, sonny boy.

I was making the rules when you were still your mother's dream.

Don't make me break her heart.

You're kidding.

He's not.

He has to be. The lady is right.

I was right.

Well, hey, you're wrong.

Gun.

Knife.

I win. You won't have the chops to use it.

Your bed.

Okay, that's it. Hold it. That heat group ain't no good to me. Dead.

I come down here for a wedding, not a war.

And I'm willing to pay for your help.

Why don't you buy a wedding gift like everybody else?

Because I'm the gift.

And I gotta keep myself alive long enough to deliver myself, or else I

worth a nickel.

Is that some sort of a riddle?

No, it's the other way around.

It's more like facts.

Stuff that I can swear to makes me worth a lot of money.

Look, mystery man, it's hot.

We're late.

Now, if you're not going to get to the point, I would rather face this old

knife than any more of this conversation.

Sub that old man remark right down your throat.

Now, don't get dawn and dusk mixed up.

You're about 30 years too late for that.

I have an Uncle Vic.

He was a real strong man, very tough.

You remind me a lot of him.

Don't play with me, little girl.

Oh, I'm not.

I feel your arms.

His were like rock.

I don't need to hire tough. I got enough of that already.

What I need is smart.

And some people who know their way around this jerkwater town.

That's what taxis are for.

Do you guys want to earn some legit money or you want to impress me with

What did you have in mind?

I need you to make some contact with some people for me.

And then set up a meeting.

What people?

First, my family.

Then we'll see.

I don't understand.

Probably never will.

But I think she might.

Oh, really? Why me?

Because I don't think your past is as white as your teeth.

I had someone check you out.

What is it you're trying to buy?

I ain't buying. I'm selling.

I'm selling.

I'm worth a whole bunch of big bucks, and I'm cashing in.

I used to be pretty important in New York. Then I did some stuff.

Got caught and had a copper trip to Sicily. Had to leave my family and

everything.

Been living quiet and safe there for the past 12 years.

Now, my daughter's getting married.

Here. And I want to give her the only thing I got left.

What's that?

Me.

I'm worth a cool million on the horse.

And I want her to have me.

You're Rocco Centauri.

Rocco Thief.

Everybody on both sides of the fence is looking for you.

The wise guys want to bury me because they're never sure if I'm going to come

back to the city and make a move on me. And the feds want me to help them to

nail the guy who buried me. I got a price on my head for both sides.

One phone call.

You could be sitting pretty.

Except for Vicky.

He don't forget my energy.

Well, I want to hear the rest of the story.

Let me tell you what I need you to do.

I'm glad you finally showed up.

Samples?

No, we're the real thing. Oh, aren't you from the caterers?

No.

But we'd like to talk to you, if we could.

Look, I really don't have the time right now. If you're trying to sell me

something, you know, I'm in the middle of planning a wedding, and I'm up to my

neck in flowers and food.

No, we're here to bring you a gift.

Your father.

Where is he?

Where would you like him to be?

Rocco Centauri.

Male Caucasian, born Cefalo, Italy, 1928.

Wow. Like the wild foal, was he triplet?

Oh, one of him was enough.

Um... He arrived in New York in 1936 and eight years later started getting

arrested.

Oh, he was only 16 when he went to Elmira Youth Center for extortion and

felonious assault.

Eh, he was a kid. Stuff happened.

He graduated to regular prison in 46 and again in 53.

Then there's a clear streak where his name only came up for investigation and

testify for the Grand Senate.

He invoked the Fifth Amendment.

Wait a minute. I remember this guy.

He was in the headlines when I was a kid.

The last godfather.

Finally got nailed for union fraud and disappeared.

Rumor has it he's somewhere in Italy.

Victor Albertino.

Oh, the nice man with Mr. Rocco was alleged to have been involved in over...

Twelve murders and about two pages of assorted pieces of havoc.

These guys really know how to mess with the neighborhood, don't they?

Yeah. Just what poor Vida needs, huh?

It's a grown crime family.

Better yet, we're working for them.

What's that make me, a gun mall?

Gun malls went out in the 30s.

I'm not 30.

Okay. Okay, I'll tell you what. You can be a hitman.

My Uncle Ezra was a hitman.

For the mafia?

No, for the Willow Creek Swamp Rats.

He batted fourth. He had a 481 average.

He would have made the major leagues if it wasn't for his leg.

Okay.

I'll take the right.

What about his leg?

Well, he only had one.

He had a wooden one where the other one used to be.

But there was always a termite problem with that.

Never could keep him even, so he was always kind of leaning to the left.

Or he probably would have batted 800.

Sorry, I asked.

I don't know why.

Why now?

After all of these years?

We don't know. We're just here to get you and your father together.

Well, we were together.

He left when I was 11.

Even when my mother died, he never got in touch.

It's a little late now.

That's not what we're here for.

You can discuss your feelings with him.

We'll just arrange it.

I don't want to see him.

Teresa, he's your father.

Whatever is between you has to be healed.

This has to be a family, and more than just a wedding celebration.

You have to see your father.

But I don't know if I could be in the same room with him. You can.

You must.

Don't say anything to Nicole.

Can I sing something romantic?

Paolo is always right.

I'll meet my father.

I can pay our rent.

The one and a half is where I'll go.

I ain't seen her since she was a kid, but she's got her mother's face on her.

There's no way Rocco's gonna miss his kid's wedding.

He'll show him Vallarta, and she's gonna lead us to him.

Capisce?

Then do it.

I want Rocco done. I want him out of my way. I want him dead.

I think we're being followed.

Don't tell me it's true.

Positive.

We've got a tail.

You got to sit here and watch all these bodies all the time?

Well, I don't have to, but I do.

Hard life.

I was born too old.

Pulled my purse door when I was nine years old.

Eight bucks from a street peddler.

Well, are you proud of that? I ate a meal and bought a shirt. I ain't

Maybe the peddler didn't like it too much.

So he missed a meal that week. I ate my first. That's the way it is.

21. I win.

Don't you ever lose? Only when I want to.

Hey, you know this guy's been probably taking your money as long as you've

him.

I do all rights.

It comes out even in the end.

How can it?

Vic started his career as a pickpocket.

How can anybody trust you guys?

I steal.

I'm not dishonest. I only light at a cost.

Other than them, my word is good.

Yeah.

Okay.

Gotcha.

I don't hear sirens, but I think we've got problems. What happened? That was my

partner and your daughter.

And they picked up a tale.

Look, I'll give you the rest when we move, okay?

You were followed?

By whom?

Why?

Is there something here I should know about? I'm sorry. There's nothing more

free to tell you. Then who will?

I guess I have to.

My father is a criminal.

So he stole something.

I'm not marrying him.

No, but in a way you are.

He'll be marrying.

into one of the major crime families in the States, or at least it once was.

But his enemies will be yours.

And his friends?

Doesn't look like he has many.

She's right.

If you want to call this off, I'll understand.

Everyone has something to hide.

We're going to be married, and I want to meet your father.

Really? Yes.

Let's do this the right way.

There's got to be another one like him around for me. Can you do it?

Can I meet her father?

That's what we're hired here to do.

Hello? I just spoke to Tommy.

He's moving.

Tell him to set up a meeting with Rocco.

And we need a decoy.

What's a decoy? A blonde from Iowa.

What? I can't understand you. Take the helmet off.

Now, what did you say? I said, can I take this off now?

Sure. Come on, let's go.

Well, you're right.

I got two of them watching from the west slope.

I can't spot anyone else.

Let's do it.

Hey, they're behind us.

Where shall we fix them?

Let's treat them to the best lunch at Marriott Casa Magna.

And then a swim?

We'll see how they follow us in the water.

With this hat?

Are you ready?

Yes. She's ready. I guess.

So am I.

Uh, no, I...

I don't remember you being part of the meeting. Then I'm not either.

Okay.

Okay. You're both family, right?

Almost.

Now we're going out the back and over a fence, okay?

Tell us where to go and we'll meet him then.

You know, there was no us until two seconds ago.

Now we're either doing it my way or we're not doing it at all.

Let's go.

It's hot out here.

Let's go find some air conditioning.

It's far more safe out here with all these people.

Come on!

Bravo!

Bravo!

Can I take this hat off now?

Oh, you look beautiful.

You know the sweat brings out your finest features.

Well, thanks.

It makes it all worthwhile.

Come on, let's go.

What

happens

now?

Just wait.

What? Relax.

Did you say she's nervous?

Well, if she is, she's handling it a lot better than you.

Wait a minute.

It's time, Teresa.

If he goes alone, I'll come back for you.

You're not going alone.

Yes, I am. I have to.

It's private.

It's family.

No hug for the old man?

I ran out of hugs when Mom died.

She was asking for you toward the end.

I know.

There was nothing I could do.

Your mother knew what the score was before she married me.

Nobody asked me what I wanted.

I'm asking you now. I just came here to tell you how I feel.

You left when I was 11 years old.

You never told me anything.

You just did it.

I never even knew who you were until I went to college.

A boy told me.

He was afraid to kiss me goodnight, and I asked him why.

He knew more about you and me than I did.

There were, um... There were shrinks and...

Therapy and then... Mom died.

But... I got past it.

You can't come back into it now.

Fair enough.

But you can't stop me from giving you my gift.

I want you to turn me into the feds.

I'm worth a million bucks.

In reward money.

It'll set you up.

I want to know that at least I did that for you.

Even if I have to do it from jail.

Is this some sort of a game?

Or a trick?

If it is, it's not on you.

Once the feds got me, it's over.

They leave you alone.

How do you know that?

Well, that's the way it works.

You think the money is going to change how I feel?

No.

You think it'll change your lifestyle?

Give you a clean start with a new name? I owe that to your mother.

He's dead.

I'm not.

I don't want it.

She don't mean it.

She's just a kid.

She's my kid.

She means it.

Nick. Nick.

Nick. Are you all right?

20 years ago, they never would have gotten near us.

I know the hood that got killed.

He's one of Rocco Centauri's guys. Just like that ape inside.

That gentle man was a human being.

And he just died.

This is Agent Butera.

He wants to... He wants my father!

It will make a lot more sense to hand him over to me before Mickey Beans gets

him.

That's it?

Just turn him in and walk away?

Who dies next?

Look, if I get him, no one has to get hurt.

He won't say it, I will.

There's a price on Mocha's head. Who will pay it?

This is your father's head they're selling.

My father's head you offered a price on.

I know.

Maybe some morality can enter into this.

It's your father who's lived off crime for 50 years. He's the one in hiding.

You still have to prove it.

We have.

And we want him to help us prove it against a lot of other guys like him.

The price is a million.

He comes in alive, cooperative.

He gets it.

Is it a deal?

Maybe. What does maybe mean?

Perhaps, perchance, possibly.

She went to language school in Paris. She knows what maybe means.

You can reach me here.

You got 12 hours before I put out my own manhunt.

You're telling me you're not hunting him right now.

Mickey Beans is the hunter.

I'm the safety net.

Then find Beans before he kills Rocco.

Why? Could be he's doing what the U .S. government should be doing.

Come on.

It's been a long night.

Not liking me too much today, are you?

Well, you're at the other side of your life story.

Not pretty.

But at least I know you met with the feds.

I want to pay you, pick you up wherever you want.

No pickup.

I walk.

I don't want to wear handcuffs any longer than I have.

What'd you do all this?

You know, why didn't you just, like, stay hidden and send the money?

Seems like you got plenty of it.

The cash flow stopped a couple of years ago.

I'm old.

I'm broke.

I got no people left.

Am I supposed to feel sorry for you?

I want you to do what I paid you to do.

Keep me alive long enough to sell my skin to the feds.

I'll make my end.

You make yours.

The cold son of a bitch, aren't you?

You want war?

Buy an electric blanket.

Now, where else are you going to stash me till the trade?

You ever think it's on timeshare?

You had something to do and you blew it.

It was a clean and simple hit. Now Rocco knows we're here. The rules are out.

Snatch his kid.

Those other two broads are with her. Lose them.

I'll be here for the finish.

You got it?

Yeah, I got it.

You want to earn your money, you're going to have to come up with Rocco's

location again.

Twice? They're bound to catch on.

It won't make a difference once Rocco's dead.

Your problem now is he lives.

Could take a little time. I ain't got any time.

If the feds get to him before I do and he turns, I'll be spending the rest of

life in a cell writing appeals on toilet paper.

That'll never happen. What do you know?

You never did any time.

My brother sent you to all the fancy schools out of the country. You never

got your hands dirty.

Well, he's dead now.

And if you still want the fancy life, it's time for you to dip in.

Up to your elbows.

You don't have to get down on me. Just remember you are family. I know. I know.

I'm your nephew.

I'll take care of things.

Blood is thicker than water. And there are a lot of things thicker than blood.

And I'll bury you in some of it if you let me down.

Nephew or not.

She looks beautiful.

All brides are.

Hey, did you ever think of getting married?

Every day.

So? So you get married first.

I would rather be your maid of honor.

Huh. Hey, maybe we can talk Joanna into doing it first.

Then we can both watch.

That's a good idea.

Huh. Apparently she doesn't think we look like brides either.

Ah, Teresa, you look absolutely beautiful.

Your father would be very proud.

That's the last thing in the world I'm concerned with.

This is not a very nice thing to say on an occasion like this.

Well, this occasion would be a lot more pleasant if he had never shown up.

He's offering to give you everything he has, his life.

Maybe you should take it.

Let him redeem something of himself.

Then he'll only be gone again.

I only knew him as a very gentle man.

Vic also.

I never knew what they really were, and then I realized that was just some part

-time act, that their life was really all those horrible things that were

My mother knew, and she hid it from me, and I think that helped her to die.

He can't make up for that.

You can let him try.

You can let him think he did.

He's going to jail.

You'll never see him again.

Would you take it in a little more right here?

Thank you.

Hello.

It's Paolo. He wants to talk to you.

What? Uh, uh, she's in the middle of something right now. She can't talk.

Where are you? I'll come there.

Oh, no, you don't. You can't see the bride in her dress until the ceremony.

bad luck.

She's getting fitted for a gown right now, and she looks spectacular.

I understand.

Tell her that I love her.

Will do.

It's me, Paolo.

I have a location.

There's Mrs. Dean -Spolardo.

She's got a record that's worse than our clients.

Yep, we're definitely dealing with the cream of the crop here.

At least there'll be no winners this time.

Okay, Renald's a known associate.

He's got to have some feelings with someone down here.

Why would you say that?

Because he knows his way around here too well.

Those people have already showed up twice. Now, how do they know where to

them? The villa Teresa's staying at is no secret.

Yes, but the meeting with the father, that wasn't exactly in the social

There's someone on the inside.

Can't be Vic or his partner.

They certainly don't want to commit suicide.

It is Rocco.

So who's left?

Us, Teresa, and... Yeah.

The boyfriend.

Palo, run him.

Come on, you're in there.

There it is. His name crossed over.

That's Paolo's father.

He shows on the list of Mickey Bean's associates.

In fact, it's his brother.

That in 1992 gangland hit.

So Paolo is Mickey Bean's nephew.

Mickey Bean is Paolo's uncle.

Yeah.

Well, no wonder he knows every move we make.

My next question is, does Teresa know about him?

Oh, she couldn't. She loves him.

Yes, but she doesn't love her father.

Either way, Kat and Nicole are with her, and they're in more danger than they

know. I've been trying to reach them. The cell phone won't go through to them.

Do you know where they are?

No, but I bet Paolo does.

Just enough there to answer one question.

Now, you've been setting up Teresa, haven't you?

Not her, him, brother.

Father.

Her father.

Yeah?

Who, you work for Mickey Beans? No, for myself.

How come I had my father killed?

There's still no reason to use Teresa, man. It's family.

It's family business.

Yeah? Well, Cat and Nicole are my family.

Now, where are they? They and Teresa.

It's too late.

Good for you, it is.

That's them.

Wait for them to clear and then take them.

I'll wait here for you.

Oh!

Look at that.

Nice. I don't know if I want something that is long or do I want a veil?

Hey,

I like her.

I'd help for more than a few more seconds.

Ooh, just throw him in the back with the rest of the garbage.

Yeah, he's done.

Better late than never.

Why are you in there like that? It's a mistake. They're wrong about me.

Let me loose and I'll explain.

Leave him tied up and I'll explain.

He's the nephew of Mr. Mickey Beans.

He was using you to get at your father.

Nothing was against you.

Just Rocco Centauri.

You don't even want to see him. You hate him. He's still my father.

And I'm your fiancé.

Not anymore, you're not.

No bridal gown?

No show.

No wedding?

You want him?

You take him. We did.

Rocco said he'd step forward the minute you show confirmation of $1 million

being deposited into his daughter's account in the Bahamas.

Yeah. We want him in our hands first, okay?

That was funny. He said the same thing.

What if I say no?

You won't.

You know you can't.

I've been in this game before.

Now it's only a matter of money.

He's also willing to fly back to the States with you as a guest.

No headline, no extradition hearings.

He's making you an offer you can't refuse.

Deal?

It's been a deal for three hours now.

It was just taking a stab at saving a million.

Where is he?

You want to shake hands?

Or cuss?

You get to cuss when we get back to the state.

Is there anything you want to say to him before they take him away?

I don't know what to say.

I don't even know what I'm feeling.

Maybe some memories.

When you were young enough to only know him as your father.

I do remember.

He used to play cowboys and Indians with me.

He wanted to be John Wayne all the time.

He said he had to be the Indian in real life.

Now I know what he meant.

Maybe it's time you told him.

I love you, Pop.

Me too, little pilgrim.

I'd like a big, old -fashioned wedding.

Walk down the aisle,

white gown,

bridesmaids, the work.

Nobody asked you yet.

Someone will.

Someday.

Don't you think so?

Of course they will.

Someone, someday.

Be sure to check your family out before you say yes. Better yet, marry an

orphan. Hey, you really want to play it safe?

Sign a prenuptial annulment.

There is no such thing.

Well, just get a good lawyer.

You'll figure out how to make one up.

Okay, forget it.

I'll be a bridesmaid at your wedding.

You'll be a no lady by then.

Why, didn't anyone ever ask you to marry them?

Of course.

Well, what happened?

I woke up.

What about you, Kat?

I just can't picture myself in a pure white dress.

Oh, maybe okra or white beige.

Okay, you guys are teasing me.

Everybody thinks about their wedding day.

You're right.

I do. You?

Yeah.

I'd wear white lace.

Cut tight at the top.

Blur it down.
