♪♪

DECLAN: Since the 1960s,
the port city of Montreal

has been one of
the largest points of import

for coke and heroin in the world.

If you lived in New York,
or Boston, or Philly,

anywhere in the northeast
of America really,

and did drugs, they
came through Montreal.

And with all that money on the table,

everyone wanted their cut.

So for decades, the city was at w*r.

The Irish, they owned the docks,

Haitians, well, they ran
street level operations,

the Bikers controlled distribution,

but they had nothing without the Mafia.

The Mafia had those
international contacts

to import the product.

And in addition
to extortion and racketeering,

they controlled the city's
construction industry as well.

Nothing got built without their okay.

But in the '90s, everything changed

when Vito Rizzuto took over
from his father as mob boss.

Vito was old school,
but he also had vision.

He saw a different kind of future

for his business and the city.

And there was me, by his side
for the whole wild ride.

My old man put together
the bidding for that beast.

Everybody shared in the bonuses,

the kickbacks, the graft...

It was supposed
to cost three million dollars,

ended up costing a billion.

Everybody should be so
lucky to get an Olympics.

BRUNO: There he is, man of the hour.

Hey! They all behavin' themselves?

No one shot anyone yet,
so that's a good start.

It's good.

BRUNO: Everyone! Everyone!

I know you're all interested
to hear what Vito has to say,

so I'm gonna let him get to it.

VITO: Gentlemen!

We are all at w*r.

Jacques, you and I still do
some business, but

you still try to get
my action on the east end.

Papa Lou, you and the Irish,

been spilling blood for a year.

This is our city.

We got to acknowledge
that nobody is going anywhere.

All right, so, question is,

do you wanna keep fighting
over street corners,

or do you want a piece
of all the action?

Now, what I'm proposing
is a cooperative.

You're all here for a specific reason,

'cause of what you bring to the table.

But we gotta conduct this
like a business.

You all get a say,

but there can only be one CEO.

I suppose that's you?

Oh, yeah.

Because I own something
that none of you do.

City Hall and the cops.

But I'm willing to share.

Keep talking.

Look, there's enough coke,
hash, hookers, gambling

for all of us to make a lot
of money if we work together.

But if we don't,

we're gonna end up in prison or dead.

So here's what I propose,
you all go home.

You relax.

You drink a beer

and you think about your bright future.

What do you say?

DECLAN: And so began one of
the greatest runs ever.

What we did should be studied
in history books.

I'm not kidding.

We brought peace between people

who would never have walked
down the same block together.

Like ever.

Between the g*ng syndicate we created,

and the politicians
and the cops in our pockets,

we were unstoppable.

Life was good.
Life was good for everyone.

But if there's one thing
you can ever count on,

it's that gangsters
are greedy, petty asses,

and will always screw things up.

MICHELLE: Hey!

Where are the take-out menus?

By the sofa.

The kitchen wasn't working for you?

No.

Uh, usually when we order in,
we're laying on the sofa

'cause we're too lazy to cook. Right?

So, instead of going to
the kitchen to get the menus,

I put them by the sofa.

Streamlined the whole thing.

You streamlined
our take-out operations?

Yeah, must've shaved like two,
three seconds off the whole thing.

- Wow. I'm impressed.
- Mmm-hmm.

Aren't you feeling bad that
I'm gonna be home, alone,

while you're out at some party?

No.

b*stard.

But you do look very handsome.

Why, thank you.

Come here.

Okay. Now you gotta go.

- I want my egg rolls.
- Okay.

Bring me back some cake.

VITO: Bye, Michelle.

ALL: ♪ Happy birthday ♪

♪ Dear Nico ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

Happy birthday!



Everybody get here, come on.

Come on, Papa. Would
you be in the picture?

Oh, no, I don't wanna use
my new camera.

- How long is this gonna take?
- About a year.

NICO SR: Okay.
Did anything happen?



Who wants some cake?
Who wants some cake?

Come on!

Who wants some cake? Come on.

Here's what you do...

VITO: It doesn't sound very reassuring.

Vito Rizzuto.

Nicolo.

- The yard looks good, you know.
- Hmm. He does a good job.

Did you take care
of that thing with Pierre?

Yeah. It's just a misunderstanding.

We got a new guy
in the zoning department

so I sent Declan down
so we can run the ropes.

NICO JR: I know. I'll tell him!

Ah, beddu!

Oh, my God.

And Nico Junior.

We got the all-star team
tonight.

Three generations of Rizzutos.

New shoes?

- Yeah, you like these?
- Yeah.

Got 'em yesterday. I like the stitching.

Yeah. Nice.

NICO JR: You know, you don't gotta

stop talking when I enter the room.

- Yeah, we do.
- [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

I know more about
your business than you think.

You know, you need to
concentrate on your business.

Yeah. Real estate development
doesn't exactly move

at the speed of light.

NICO SR: Did you see the cake?

- NICO JR: Yeah.
- NICO SR: Madonna mia!



NICO SR: That's not a cake,
it's a monument.

That's no dessert.



NICO SR: Know what it cost?

There he is.

Should we check that out?

Captain said strictly surveillance.

If they want more,
they can pay me double time.

Mmm.

- Where's Declan?
- He's coming.



NICO JR: What do you wanna do
on your birthday?

An ice cream cone?

NICO SR: Who? Oh...

Come on, guys, let's go inside.

Let's get busy.

Okay.

Let's do it.



God damn it.

BOB: Nice to be rich.

You just park your car
in this neighborhood

and local cops are right there.

DECLAN: You girls making out in there?

We've received some complaints.

You're gonna have to come with us.

You got business in Cartierville?

Yeah. I'm in the market.

DECLAN: What do you get all
those r*fles and scopes for?

Protection from sexual
predators like yourselves.

Hey, watch your mouth.

Might wanna check in with your
sergeant before you, uh,

make any decision that
could end your career, pig.

GIO: And just what is that
supposed to mean?

ERIC: What it means is we're protected.

The Devil's Kings have a deal
with the police.

Call it in.

Sergeant Ramsey. Station 19.

I don't know. What do you think?
You wanna call it in?

ERIC: Just do it.

I wanna get home. I gotta take a sh*t.

Hang on.

What's the name?

Huh?


am I giving the sergeant?

Just tell him we work for Rejean.

DECLAN: Rejean.

Hey!

Yes, it is.

Yeah, pass me through to Ramsey.

What's up?

I'm good.

But listen, hey,

we got a couple of bikers in the back.

They said to tell you that
they're working

for a guy called Rejean?

Really?

Oh. Okay.

Per... Yeah. All right, later.

ERIC: Well?

DECLAN: My apologies, girls.

What a waste of time.

DECLAN: You wanna get out here?

ERIC: Take us back to our g*dd*mn car.

DECLAN: Sure.

Hey, come on. Move.

Let's go.

Sit.

- What the hell is this?
- You're free to go.

Told you to take us back
to our car, assholes.

I can't remember where they parked.

Do you remember where they parked? No.

- And our g*ns?
- File a report.

- Beat it.
- Let's go.





VITO: They came in
to my house, Gilles.

These two punk nobodies,
they came to my home.

My whole family was in.

I understand.

We had eight months
without any dead bodies.

You don't have to tell me.

I'm the one who had
to put the muzzle on 'em.

Brass hit the roof, Vito.

Who's Sergeant Ramsey?

I took care of it

and he's been transferred to Cote-Nord.



Should've put a b*llet in him.

Better than living there.

What about this, uh, Rejean?

He's taken care of.

- I don't want things to escalate.
- They won't.





DECLAN: [ECHOING] So, Rejean!

Rejean!

How do you wanna proceed?
You know how this works.

- [SPITS]
- Ah. Bruno.



Bruno, did you see that?
See what he just did?

That was disgusting, yeah.

DECLAN: On my shoe.

Sorry about that.

Bruno's a class act.

He's a real class act.

This kind of stuff makes him queasy.

So, Rejean, who gave you the order?



Why should I tell you?

Because it's my job to ask.

Declan, come on, we've already
got two bodies on this thing.

And Vito would prefer
to avoid adding another

to the pile. Come on.

DECLAN: Rejean, do you know Bruno?

Do you know what his nickname is?

"The Peacemaker."

That's pretty self-explanatory,

even to an idiot like you.

You know what he'd like to do?

Bring you a cappuccino.

He'd like to bring you
a nice soft rag and...

wipe that blood off your
face, 'cause he hates blood.

It's true.

Rejean, I'm going to
ask you one more time.

Who gave you the order?
And don't say Jacques.

I know it wasn't Jacques. This is you,

stepping out on your own.

You know, someone's telling you,

you could be the next king

or some kind of horse sh*t.

Come on, just tell me.

Bruno will let you down.

He'll let you down softly.
He might even take your hand,

walk you outside.

Hell, who knows, he might
even blow you in the car.



I've done worse.

So?

Kiss my a*s, you Irish prick. [LAUGHING]

GIO: All right. Forget about it.

This piece of sh*t's
not gonna say anything.

DECLAN: I'm done! It's your turn, Gio.

Attend, attend! Wait, wait, wait! Oh!

Hey! Hey!

- DECLAN: Yeah, yeah.
- [REJEAN SHOUTS IN FRENCH]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I k*ll you!



You son of a b*tch!



DECLAN: Don't you throw up,
Bruno, you'll spoil my dinner.



Sorry, I'm late.

We waited for you, except for Pops.

When it's time to eat,
you eat, you know.

Declan.

He's busy, so stays late,
that's all right.

Everything okay?

Oh, yeah, I'm great.
How are things with you?

Hmm. Boring.

- DECLAN: Boring's good.
- NICO JR: I know.

You bored?

I can't say that I am.

Buon appetito.

You look good, Declan.

- I know. Thank you, Diana. As do you.
- [DIANA CHUCKLES]

Those SQ idiots are outside again.

After last night,

never hurts to have
an extra set of eyes.

How'd it go in the east end?

He finally came around.

Give me a name.

I'll make it all stop.



Good man.



Okay.

No more bodies.

- Good work.
- Thanks.



Interrupting?

I should get going.
I still got things to do.

Nico.

Everything okay?



- What's the problem?
- I should be in here with you.

He gets to know all your
secrets, but I'm your son.

I should be a part of everything.

You don't get to know my secrets,
'cause I don't want you to.

- Declan's on the front line...
- And I'm willing to be.

I'm not.

It's my job to keep you safe. All right?

- Hi.
- Hi.

I have to work in an hour, but
I'm really glad you called.

I missed you.

Was just in the neighborhood.

I got you something.



Oh, my God!

This is so beautiful.

I saw it and I thought

it would be fantastic on you.

Here, let me put it on.

This... I've never
had anything like this.

Now you do.

You know, you don't have to
buy me such expensive things.

I don't want you for that.

I don't have to buy anything.

If you don't like it,
we can take it back.

- No.
- Yeah.

No. Absolutely not.

Let's go to the hotel.

I thought you said you had to work.

I do.

I guess I'm gonna be late.

- I guess so.
- Yeah.

VITO: Thanks, Michelle.

That was fantastic.

I wouldn't mind some more wine.

What's wrong?

All right, what's wrong?



Come on. What's bugging you?
What's wrong?

My friend Josee, she saw some


That's what's bothering you.

That's what all this is about?

It's nothing.

It's just Gio borrowed the car

to impress some young girl, that's it.

I would rather you admit to screwing her

than feed me
a line of bullshit like that.

I never ask you to leave your wife.

I never complain that
we can't spend your birthday

or Christmas or New Year's together.

I accept the real you.

I've accepted that I probably
won't have any children

and that I may even stay your mistress

for the rest of our lives.

But I won't stand for this anymore.

And you will treat me
with the respect I deserve.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

I won't ever disrespect you again.

You better never see her again.

I'm gonna take a shower.

I got a meeting later tonight.

MICHELLE: Yeah, I know.



Is he coming?

Yeah, he's busy.
He's coming. He's coming.

I need to talk to Vito.

I was going to take care of that
piece of sh*t, Rejean, myself.

We're all gonna talk about it, Jacques.

Non, non. You don't talk
to us. He's talking to us.

And I got an issue
with one of my suppliers.

I need Vito to step in.

We will.

Mick, come on.

You must have a problem too.

Hemorrhoids. [CHUCKLES]

- Can Vito fix that?
- [LAUGHING] That's funny.

He's coming. He's coming.
Sit down. Sit down.

Good to see you.

Take a seat, everybody.

Hi. We all know why we're here.

We all know the issues.

Turns out one of the Devil's
Kings went out on their own.

Jacques didn't know anything about it.

So, let me put that question
to rest right now.

But this guy, Rejean, made
a side deal with the Bonannos.

Rat-faced pricks trying to force
their way into our action.

And this isn't
the first time, believe me.

They wanna take your business.

And they know the only way is to go

and get rid of our good
friend and leader.

This isn't the first time they
have tried to unsettle the apple cart,

and it won't be the last.

All right? I'm gonna stop
before I get all worked up.

Vito, I'm sorry. Go ahead.

Listen.

Right now, we're all doing very well.

Things are going smooth.

Things are peaceful.

But these New York jerks are
gonna keep coming back at us

to take what is ours.

And they're counting on the fact

that we're gonna turn on each
other for a few extra bucks.

If anybody here thinks that they're
gonna do better with the Bonannos

or the Irish, or the Bikers,

or the Haitians,

let me remind you,

you're not going after
the Rizzuto family.

You're going after City Hall.

The policemen.

The guy who shovels snow
from your driveway,

drives your kids' school bus.

I own them all.

And they don't want blood on the street.

And they got my back.

Let me make some acquisitions.

Already taken care of.

Great.

Oh, uh,

we might have a bit of a problem
with the parking structure.

We need 10 feet deeper
than they're willing to allow.

It's already done.

Great.

Oh, and, uh, one more thing.

From now on, no more commission.

I just get a straight 10%.

- Equity?
- Yeah.

Vito, I already have investors.

Not without the permits, you don't.

Not without my construction people.

Not without the union bosses,
without them, you got sh*t.

Yeah, but, uh, I pay people for those.

And I pay you to let
me pay them for those.

You no longer have to pay me 2.5%.

You don't have to pay it
to the commission.

You don't have to pay it
to construction.

You no longer inflate

your building cost reports, all right?

I want you to do what you do best.

Build big, tall, beautiful
buildings in the sky

and I'm gonna be
your silent equity partner.

Now, all other projects that
are in play, they stay as is.

But from that point on,
everything is legit.

You understand?

- Yeah.
- Take your shot.

VITO: I want to legitimize our
interests across the board.

You just wanna drop all our businesses?

No.

Slowly pull back.

I wanna implement like a long-term plan.

I mean, it's funny, 'cause we're...

We're at a point now where

our operation is running so smoothly,

it's basically on autopilot, right?

Everyone's getting along.

We got money coming in so fast,

we don't even know how much we got.

Half these guys don't even
carry a piece anymore.

And now, you just wanna step aside?

Listen, Declan.

I've been working to get
to this point my whole life.

And yet just when you think

that nobody would dare cross us,

some animals decide to come to my home

trying to take a shot at me,
with my family there.

Hmm.

This is that life, Declan.

It's always gonna be that way.

It doesn't matter
how much money we have.

It doesn't matter
how many pockets we line.

We respect tradition.

- We respect family.
- Yeah.

We have honor, but we are...

in a business that requires us

to deal with these animals
who walk around

thinking they can wear the crown.

We can't rely on them
to determine our existence.

We've evolved, do you understand?

We've evolved and they haven't.

- And they never will.
- Okay.

Do you understand that?

I do.

All right.

So which hand do you do, you know,
the swing with the club?

The golf thing.
I don't know. Right. Left.

Fantastic. Hey, Jimmy, we'll
take, uh, two sets of these.

Ah! Thanks.

Hey, Pop!

Well, today I'm a mechanic. [LAUGHS]

Yeah.

Yeah, sure.

About an hour?

Yeah. Just let me get cleaned up.

Okay. Bye.

Listen to this, last
night, I got the hiccups.

I haven't had the hiccups in,
I don't know, 20 years.

I know this guy who had the
hiccups for 10 years straight.

- It k*lled him.
- Get out of here.

- No, really.
- The hiccups k*lled him?

Having hiccups 10 years
straight made him crazy.

Jumping off a bridge k*lled him.



You said on the phone you
wanted to tell me something.

VITO: Oh, yeah.

It's about that conversation
we had the other night.

I don't wanna keep you
out of my life, Nico.

I don't wanna exclude you.

I wanna legitimize all our businesses,
you know, across the board.

You know, when you do
that, you need, uh,

you need a face of the company.

I can't do that.

You can.

You're really gonna do that?

Yeah, I mean... Now's the perfect time.

We got plenty of money, protection.

Look,

I... I don't want you to be a boss.

I want you to be a CEO.



What do these idiots want?

Mr. Rizzuto?

What can I help you with?

This is an extradition order

from the United States
Justice Department.

We're here to place you under arrest.

For what?

BOB: Think back to 1981.

The murders of Alphonse Indelicato,

Philip Giaccone and Dominick Trinchera.

I bet you never thought you'd hear
those names again, did you?

I never heard of 'em.

ENZO: Vito?

Vito, would you close the g*dd*mn
window, it's freezing in here.

I want the window open.

Sandro, are you cold in here?

- It's a little cold.
- It's a little cold.

- I'm cold.
- We're cold.

Look, I don't wanna smoke up the car.

We'll smell like smoke.
You don't show up to a meeting

smelling like smoke.

It's unprofessional.

So, don't smoke.

I want a cigarette.

What's your problem?
You got the heater on.

It's 10 below outside. I got the
heater on, the window open.

I'm freezing and sweating
my ba*ls off in here.



You know, the rules are,
the driver chooses the music

and the temperature.

Well, we got different rules here.

Anyway, it's time.

Big Mike says we go around the back.

All right, here you go.

- Salute!
- Salute.

All right.

You're all gonna wear those.

Those are clean.

No serial numbers.

What are we doing here?

Ah! You're gonna rob the joint.

You'll knock around the guys
that are here.

Except for me. Don't touch me.

You're gonna ask me to open
the safe under the bar.

How rough do you want us to get?

Ah... Break a nose, not a kneecap.

You know what I mean.

Why bring us down for this?

You could have had anybody do this.

Anybody can wave a g*n.

Not everybody can be trusted.

Your old man owes my old man, hmm?

For that thing down in Venezuela,

so we're calling it in.

If there was anything else
you needed to know,

it'd be told.

Where do you want us?

Wait in there.

Wait in there till you hear me, uh,

talk about going to the zoo.

That'll be the signal.

- The zoo?
- MIKE: Hey!

Everybody knows I love the zoo.

It won't stand out.

MIKE: Ah... Yeah!

Sonny looks like he's lost a few pounds.

The doctor said I need to exercise.

- Come on
- So we got a dog.

I take it for a walk around
the park every day.

Nah, nah, nah, nah!

He lost weight 'cause his wife
stopped making cannelloni.

Ah! Ah! See?

But every time he takes the dog
for a walk, instead of cooking,

she comes over to my place
for a little screw.

Oh!

I don't like this.

Come all this way for a smack and grab?

He's a capo. What are you gonna do?
Say no?

Your father says to do what he says.

- I'd do what he says.
- Quiet.

I never took you as an animal guy.

- I love dogs.
- You know what?

You know what you gotta do?
You gotta come with me to the zoo.

Ah, here goes the zoo.

PHILLY: What's with you and the zoo?

MIKE: Hey, these are majestic animals.

VITO: Don't move!

God damn!

What the hell is this?



Stay on the g*dd*mn floor!

g*ns...

On the bar.

Slowly!

- You got it?
- I got it.

You know who you're playing with?

Yeah.

A guy with his dog with his
two fat backup singers.

Hey, stronzo,

empty the safe behind the bar.

You're dead men, you know that right?

We're all capos.

How stupid can you be?

- Not as stupid as you, Sonny.
- [g*n FIRES]

PHILLY: What the hell was that?

You jagoffs! You think
you can run my father out?

What are you talking about,
Mike? We'd never do...

MIKE: You would never what? Huh?

- Mike, Mike...
- He's my father! Huh!

You greedy b*stard! Huh!

Huh! [GRUNTS]

You were family, Phil.

Now you... You're dog sh*t!



No, Mike!
Ahhh!





No, Mike...

Trin, you're too stupid to
deserve a beating like that.







What the hell was that?

Those asses, they were gonna

try and knock off my father.
You, you believe that?

Holy sh*t, holy sh*t, holy sh*t.

- Jesus, Mike.
- Stop whining.

What do we do now?

You gotta, uh...

You gotta clean this place up.

Come on, there's, uh, mops and buckets

in the closet down the hall there.

Come on, let's get this over with.

ENZO: Watch your feet.

You know, we're never
gonna get this all out.

Come on, my nonni used
to clean up messes

worse than this all the time.

Hey, look around.

We've been at this for three
hours. We're not even close.

You know, maybe if you hadn't
smashed his head to pieces

and shot him in the face.

Maybe I went a little overboard.

I got a better idea.

Hey, you guys hungry?

There's a pretty good deli near here.

It's six blocks that way.

Hang a right,
it's right on the corner, huh?



Hey. Six blocks.

Hang a right.

Drive carefully.

Thanks, fellas.

Vito, we gotta go.

What the hell is this, Renata?

You're being charged with racketeering.

VITO: For what?

This all has to do with the m*rder

of the Bonanno captains.

It was like 100 years ago.

Big Mike Cecchin turned State's witness.

He's saying you're the one
who k*lled them.

Yeah, well, he's insane.

He did it and everybody knows.

Maybe everybody does.

But he's a big witness for the Feds.

This is the first boss
ever to turn State's witness.

But you're my lawyer.

Block the extradition.

If they can't get me to court,
they got nothing.

With all due respect, Vito,

the US Justice Department
wanted to charge you

with all three murders,

but New York State carries
the death penalty.

Canada wouldn't extradite if
there was any chance of that.

The charge of racketeering is
to guarantee the extradition.

You're going to trial.

Trust me, I got this. All right?

I got this.

You guys have absolutely
nothing to worry about.

Is he joking?

He's not, actually.

Jacques.

How many times you've been busted?

Not by the FBI.

It's not the FBI.
It's the Justice Department.

I don't give a sh*t.

Vito is gonna be gone for a long time.

How're you gonna handle that?

When you call in sick,

does your whole operation just stop? No.

BRUNO: Everyone keeps doing
what they're doing...



The products that we
move keep on moving.

The people that we serve...

He doesn't have a g*dd*mn cold!

BRUNO: Everyone, take a moment.

Take a moment.

This is a stressful time.

But let me remind you who this
is most stressful for, Vito.

He's always taken very good care of us.

He's responsible for the fruits

that we all currently bear,

so now we owe it to him
to keep the ship steady

so he can focus on getting back home.

Okay.

All right so, we meet twice a week.

Stay on top of this, all right?



We could hire OJ's lawyers.

- DECLAN: Shut up.
- What?

Johnnie Cochran's dead.

Ah, I didn't know.

Come on.

Vito's the man
who makes miracles happen.

He's gonna be fine.

DECLAN: No, no, this is different.

This is a US warrant.

Extraditing papers.

They don't go this far unless
they got something solid.

NICO SR: Nico.

NICO JR: From now on,
I'm in on every meeting.

This is business.

Yeah.

And our business partners need
to know who's in control.

I've got things covered, Nico.

NICO JR: My father is
about to fight for his life.

For his name.

Someone from the family
needs to be in charge.

Declan is family.

Declan, I know how much
my father values you.

But you're not family.



REPORTER: Vito Rizzuto, now serving
a prison term in the U.S.,

in connection with three
old murders in New York.



DECLAN: Vito got 10 years,
minus time already served.

The judge sent him all the way

to Colorado Federal
Penitentiary to do his time

just so he wouldn't be near any
of his known associates' family.

Thanks a lot, Judge.

I knew he could do the time,
he could handle anything.

But everyone else?

Well, let me just say, that
sh*t was about to hit the fan,

the wall, the whole g*dd*mn house.

DECLAN: Next time on Bad Blood...

The number one priority is
to focus on the family.

Yeah.

Taking care of my son.

I believe we have
some business to discuss.

We had that discussion.

I told you I'm not paying anymore,

then I hung up the phone.

Now piss off, Junior.

How do you do something like this

without consulting anyone?

The message has to be clear.

Vito may be gone, but the
Rizzutos still run everything.

Did you hear that last part,
Declan? The Rizzutos.
