01x05 - When You Got Nothin'...

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Bad Blood.

We've increased
our legitimate holdings by 3%,

not quite as much as I want,
but we're gettin' there.

I have read shocking reporting
about the corruption

that exists on all levels
of our public works.

And that organized crime
has its hand in all of it.

That witch is gonna
dig up everything there is.

Vito is coming back to a sh*t storm.
Do you get that?

You failed me.

I know Nico wasn't easy.
But I left you in charge.

They tried to wipe out the family.

Including you.

You're one of us.

- Sal's here.
- Well, who's Sal?

Sal Montagna. Acting head
of the Bonanno family.

They wanted our action for years.

Vito will cut your head off
if he finds you.

Vito is not gonna be
doing much of anything.

His organization is going to fall apart.

I don't know if he still has it in him.

What do you think?

I think the time for diplomacy is over.

Top of the morning, George.

Good morning.

Coffee, George?

You're the best. Thanks, man.

Geez.

The Canadiens beat
the Rangers last night.

I'm done with hockey.

I'm watching tennis from now on.

You get five or six years,
one guy winning all the time.

No disappointments.

Sports is all about the drama, George.

I have enough drama.

Dude, do you hear that? What the hell?

Go. Hide. Take the bags. Go.

- What do we do?
- Shhshh!

Hey, no, no, no.

They got another one.

At the farm.

They shot George and the runners.

I liked George.

That's four shipments now
in the past two weeks.

I just don't know how they're
getting our drop points.

It's not "how."

It's "who."

What's going on with Sal?

I put Gio on it, but
Sal, he is one slippery fish.

He changes cars like
threefour times a day.

One tail's just not enough.

When we pick him up again,

we'll need five cars just on him.

And guys are starting to
switch to the other side.

Not many, but it's starting.

Good, good.

We're going to keep hitting them hard.

Big loads, small loads,
it doesn't matter.

Whatever our source gives us,

what's important is that
we remain relentless.

Vito has a lot of friends.
Don't underestimate him.

I know.

But Vito's not himself these days,

and that's what makes
his friends nervous.

That's to be expected.

What should we do?

We should win.

Things got crazy.

We went after everyone.
I'm gonna call it a rampage.

How's the steak?

If we found out
someone had talked to them,

we took them out.

We took them out.

No one was offlimits.

We even took out some of our own guys

who were hedging their bets,
playing both sides.

In two months' time, we singlehandedly

spiked the homicide rate 250%.

It was fullout w*r.

We even started to run out of
places to hide the bodies.

I think we brought
two guys here last week.

No, we took them to the impound.

No, not those two guys. The other
two guys. From the massage parlor.

sh*t, you're right.

Hey...

The only thing any of
us was certain of was that

this was gonna end up
with only one man standing.

We just didn't know
who that was gonna be.

There you go.

I brought that for Michelle.

It has bread.

She doesn't eat bread.
It's just gonna go to waste.

- You have a girlfriend?
- No.

You should get married one day.

You know, companionship
is a very important thing.

I read a study.

They said that loneliness
is bad for your health.

You must have come
close to getting married.

I mean, every man of a certain
age has, you know...

The one.

Who was that for you?

Heather.

I was... I was 2324.

We met when I was out in BC

picking tobacco for the summer.

Yeah.

It lasted almost two years.

What happened?

Well...

In the beginning, she said

she liked me because I didn't
talk that much. You know, we...

sat around for hours,

saying nothing, being
totally comfortable.

I liked that.

And then, one day she says

she don't like me anymore
because I didn't talk enough.

I want to ask you a question.

I want you to be honest.

Yeah, of course. Anything.

What do you think I should do?

Um...

I don't know, but...

Maybe it's time to walk away.

Yeah?

Why is that?

You remember back in the day?

No matter how crazy things got,

you still enjoyed the work.

You know, I could see that.

But now it just seems like...

maybe you're not enjoying it anymore.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

In my office.

Back in 2006,

the RCMP assembled a task force

to investigate organized
crime in the city.

Last night, I found out
through a contact of mine

that they are in possession
of thousands of hours

of wiretaps from this investigation.

Okay.

I want those tapes.

What's the problem?

Our mandate is to investigate

corruption in the construction industry.

And we know the mafia has been dug into

construction for decades.

- Yes, but...
- Something on those tapes

might overlap with our work.

This commission was launched

with more fanfare than the Olympics.

If they had something we could use,

don't you think they
would have offered it?

Exactly.

If that had been my task force,

the day this commission was announced,

I would have shown up with the tapes.

"Here, see what you can find."

"Happy to help.
We're all on the same side."

You know, enforcing the law,

protecting the citizens,
that kind of thing.

The fact that they haven't makes
me want those tapes even more.

- Come on, let's do it.
- Yep.

Vito, you know I can't
be seen coming in here.

Why did you insist on it?

We just got this new candy.

It is chocolate caramel
infused with marshmallows.

This is really good. It's fantastic.
You should try one.

Chief of Police is on my a*s

about all those g*dd*mn bodies
you guys are piling up,

that witch France Charbonneau
wants all our wiretaps,

and you're gonna talk
to me about chocolate?

No, seriously, try one. I
want to know what you think.

Jesus...

Vito, look, listen to me.

I have no idea what is gonna
turn up on those wiretaps, okay?

I need something from you.

You need something from me?

What, am I missing something here?

Is this Goodfellas
Candid Camera or something?

Toto Bianchi and the Ndrangheta

are backing Sal Montagna,

- trying to go after my territory.
- Yeah, I know.

I need information from you.
What do you got?

Toto gets all his juice from bookmaking.

He's got a place. VIP Sportsbook.

Mostly in Ontario,
but one right here in Laval.

Pulls in five to seven
mil a month. Okay?

It's my turn.

I feel for you, and I
know you want blood,

but I need you guys to stop
piling up all those bodies.

Fair enough.

What about the Charbonneau thing?

I got to give her the tapes.

No, you don't.

At least, not just right now.

Why not?

You're going to deny them access
based on a legal argument.

I'll lay out exactly what you need
to be telling your legal counsel.

Come on.

Try one.

It'll make you feel better.

You are refusing our request?

Excuse me, I'm in the middle
of something right now.

- If you'd like to schedule a meeting...
- Who are you?

He's in I.T.

- What are you doing?
- He's setting up my Facebook account.

Get out.

So, you were saying?

What possible reason could you
have to deny us those wiretaps?

It's not me, it's our lawyers.

- Cut the sh*t.
- Second...

those files, gathered for an entirely

different type of investigation,

fall under federal jurisdiction.

Your commission is a provincial inquiry.

- That is...
- Also...

We have thousands of hours of tapes.

To sort through all
of that would require

too much time, manpower and resources.

The cost of which would be enormous.

Our job isn't to help you catch guys

who are overcharging to fix sidewalks.

Our job is to conduct actual

criminal investigations
every single day.

I'm sorry, would you like a coffee?

You did some renovations on your
house six years ago, right?

Let me refresh your memory.

You paid about...

- What was it?
- Eight thousand dollars.

Eight thousand dollars to renovate
your kitchen and bathroom.

That's a hell of a good price.

I'm looking to renovate my kitchen,

so I checked to see
what company you used.

Interestingly enough,

the contracting firm
belongs to Vito Rizzuto.

You know, I do remember
those renovations.

I remember I checked on the Internet.

And I found a company
that had really good reviews.

I didn't ask to check
their charter of ownership.

Now, when you go to
the hospital for liposuction,

do you research the doctor

or the hospital's board of directors?

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'd like to get back to this.

I'm trying to post a photo of my
grandson's first crap in a toilet.

We tightened our operations.

We got rid of all our old stash houses.

We gave jobs to only
our most trusted guys,

and still, Sal kept ripping us off.

Don't move.

Easy, easy. Okay, okay.

Just let 'em... Let 'em take it, guys.

Go ahead.

Thank you, gentlemen.

I wouldn't do that.

It's the only shot I got.

Yeah, I know, but
you're not gonna make it.

You should bank that
ball behind the yellow.

- That way, I've got no shot.
- All right.

Gio, give us a minute.

Yeah. Yeah, okay.

Sure.

They found another one.

sh*t.

Yeah, sh*t. We're losing ground.
I mean...

We gotta find out who's talking.

I say, from now on, only you, me
and Gio know the dropoff points.

I've made this impossible to
screw up, even for you three.

The van is parked in the warehouse.

After you make the pickup,
just follow the GPS.

I programmed the route
right to the drop point.

And give me all your phones,
they're gonna stay with me.

Hey, what are you sitting down for?
Now, get out of here.

What? Is this it?

What the hell?

There supposed to be
somebody meeting us here?

- There's three people.
- Holy sh*t!

Whoa, whoa.
You know what? He's got a g*n.

God damn it.

Everybody, everybody.

Everybody, listen up. Listen up.

I want to propose a birthday toast

to the beautiful Michelle.

The beautiful, smart,
sexy and intriguing.

Good one.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday.
Come on, raise your glasses.

Declan! Where have you been?

It's called being fashionably late.

And there was a girl at the
bar who wouldn't let me go.

You better be taking her home

if it took you this long
to wish me happy birthday.

Happy birthday, baby.

Aw! You shouldn't have.

Hey, look, if she's not
going home with you,

I have three friends who are just

drunk enough to go home with you.

All right. Thank you.

Declan and I gotta go talk, all right?

- No business.
- No business.

You just can't hear in here.
No business, I promise.

Yay!

Tell me everything.

Gio met with the guys,

just like you and I planned.

He changed the dropoff location

on route, last minute,

so only they knew where it was.

Then I filled Gio in on
the rest of the plan, right?

That we were gonna hide
in a secret compartment.

What the hell are you
guys doing back there?

Holy sh*t.

Thank you. Thank you.
They were gonna k*ll us.

Yeah, they were.

You three were the only ones

who knew where the drop point was.

Who's the rat?

No.

- You?
- No. No, no, no.

We made the pickup
and followed the GPS.

- You?
- Declan, Man. Look, I swear.

I swear on my family.

How far are we gonna take this?

All the way.

It was Gio. It was him.

I should have seen it sooner.
I'm sorry, boss.

Had enough?

Hey, isn't she beautiful?

Isn't Michelle beautiful?

Gorgeous. Give her a kiss. Give
her a birthday kiss. Come on.

Is that what you wanted to see?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Screw you.

Jeanne, would you mind
bringing me a coffee?

- Of course.
- Thank you.

Why are you still awake?

You can finish Harry Potter tomorrow.

Daddy said you could stay up?

I'll be here a few more
hours, my love. I'm sorry...

I know, I know. I would
have loved to read with you.

I have to get back to work, honey, okay?

I'll see you in the morning. I promise.

I love you.

Jeanne, I want every file
on snow removal contracts

- in the city and surrounding areas.
- Now?

I would like them now, but unless

you can break into City Hall
in the middle of the night,

that's impossible.

Thank you.

Go home, Jeanne. Thanks for everything.

- Good night, Madam Charbonneau.
- Good night.

I was at my mother's.

I needed some time.

That's fine.

Are you going out?

I am.

Can we talk?

Of course.

I have a lot of patience, Vito,

but right now, I'm not patient.

I'm stuck.

I don't know how to talk
to you about anything.

I feel guilty talking about
my feelings because

how dare I talk about myself
after what you've been through?

That's a lot.

You're... not an average man.

You don't react in average ways.

If you wanna burn
the city to the ground,

I'll still be here.

If you want to destroy yourself,

or shut down completely,

I will still be here.

I shouldn't, but I will.

I should have wanted more for my life.

I deserved more.

But I'd be lying if
I said I would leave.

But...

You cannot treat me like garbage

because you feel like sh*t.

I won't stay for that.

You know, when Nico was
about one years old,

he used to wake up at 3 a.m.
every morning, like clockwork.

And I'd get up and I'd go to his room,

I'd get him,

bring him back with me.

And he'd go right back to sleep.

And every morning,

I used to wake up to the...

touch of soft little hands on my face.

I hadn't thought
about that in a long time.

Now every morning, when I wake up,

for half a second,

I can feel those little fingers.

That half second is the only
reason that I'm still here.

I shouldn't have embarrassed you.

I know better. I can do better.

But that's all I got right now.

That's all I got to give.

I gotta go.

I gotta go.

I hope you're still
here when I get back.

So I tell him, start
the engine and listen.

So he turns the key over.

Now, this sound. This sound, like...

Like it ain't from this planet.

It's like a mon...
Like a monkey on fire.

I mean, biting the nuts off...

Hey, pardon my French.

So he goes over to the hood,

pops it up, looks in, what's in there?

A skunk.

A skunk is all wrapped
up inside the engine.

The poor thing. And the thing,

the second he opens up the hood,
it pisses and sprays...

What's going on?

What the hell?

Easy, guys. Easy.

I'm just here to talk.

Yeah, well, I don't wanna talk to you.

Well, you don't have
to do much talking.

- Can I get you anything?
- Piss off.

You picked the wrong side, Toto.

But I understand why.

You're an underdog.

Somebody gave you a gold medal.

And you're sick of coming in last.

People identify with an underdog.
You understand why?

Because they can't
identify with champions,

they identify with losers.

But me, I'm not like that.

I like to pick favorites.

I think the best should win.

You got a couple of shipments,

you pulled in a couple of defectors,

now you think momentum is on your side.

But this ain't a movie.

David doesn't even get
to load the slingshot.

Goliath just steps on him.

The VIP Sportsbook,

that's what keeps you guys floating.

That's what makes you worth something.

I'm gonna let you keep it.

But you gotta break ties with Sal,

and you gotta side with me.

You're gonna let me keep it?

You're gonna be sitting
on a big pile of ash

in a couple of months, Vito.

I'm gonna let you keep it

and I'm not even gonna take
a piece of the action.

I'm gonna leave it as is.

All yours.

You know, I worry about you.

Something tells me you're
not in your right mind.

You should answer that.
It's gonna keep ringing.

It's your bar manager. Jocelyne.

Yeah.

I'm staring at a bunch of cops outside.

I don't know what they want.
No one will talk to me.

Sit tight.

Now.

In exactly one minute,

I'm gonna pick up that phone
and I'm gonna call those cops.

And I can tell the cops to...

leave

and you can keep riding
the money train.

Or I can tell 'em to bust in,

stop your pipeline and shut you down.

Yeah?

Okay, that's it.
Everyone, let's go home.

Maybe Sal will just pack
it up and leave now.

No. Too humiliating for him
to leave with nothing.

He's gonna dig his heels in.

- You should call some reinforcements.
- Right.

- This ain't over.
- You're right.

Well, it's a bit out of the
way, but it's a nice drive.

What is this place?

I own this property.

Gonna build a gated
community or a mansion?

Not gonna build anything.

Got you a sandwich.

Declan, you mind
giving us a few minutes?

No, I don't mind.

- Your deli?
- Yeah.

What can I do for you?

I got cancer, Vito.

Liver, stage two, 5050 chance.

I know the best cancer
doctor in the city.

I'm sure you do.

No, my doctor's an old friend.
I trust him.

But I didn't call you
just to tell you that.

Even if I do pull through
this, I'm retiring.

Of course.

You gotta take care of yourself.

I've been thinking
about this for a while, Vito.

I can't do this no more.

Our partnership.

Too old, too tired.

Every time someone rings the doorbell,

I think they're gonna
take me away in cuffs.

The fact that it hasn't happened,

just by the grace of God,

has me questioning God altogether.

You'll be okay.

You're stronger than you think.

I want you to know
that you can trust me, Vito.

No matter what, I will
never rat you out. Never.

Do I have your blessing to leave?

We've known each other 30 years, Gio.

We're okay.

Thanks, Vito.

I will always think of you as a friend.

A friend that you can never see again.

Yeah.

Maybe you should retire, Vito.

Go live in the islands
or something, you know.

Die a bored old man.

He's dying.

Cancer.

- Take me home.
- Hey, Vito. Vito.

- Let's go out. Let's do something.
- I'm tired.

You're tired? Come on, you spend
half the time in the house.

You never leave anymore.
Let's do something. I'll do anything.

- I'll even play golf with you.
- You hate golf.

- I do, but I'd do it for you.
- Just take me home.

I've seen you swing. Bet you


This is the most pathetic
mini golf I have ever seen.

Yeah, the boy inside says the kids
keep stealing the little houses.

They should bolt 'em down.

Well, the owner's a nice old religious
man. He's got faith in people.

Yeah, well.

Hammer and nails do a lot for
effect, you should remind them.

- You think this Aucoin thing's a sign?
- Yeah.

Yeah, we're gonna
have to fill his shoes.

I mean, you two, you moved up together.

And to forge a new relationship with

someone that high up
is not gonna be easy.

That's true.

If we act out on the original plan.

- What's that?
- To go legit.

Keep everything above board.
Become pillars of the community.

Why?

Well, because you told me,
years ago, you had a vision.

Well, we can act out on that now.

There's no one left to come after us.

This can be the
beginning of our legacy.

Legacy?

My legacy is done.

I don't m*rder the families
of schoolteachers or doctors,

the pillars of the community.

Just gangsters.

You cheated.

- What are you talking about?
- You cheated.

- No, I beat you...
- Took the only good putter.

You saw it, you rat b*stard,

- you're like a little kid.
- Took it right out of the rack.

Like a rat b*stard kid.

Well, I can pay you... Can't
imagine what you were like.

- What?
- What were you like as a kid?

- A kid?
- Yeah.

All right.

My...

My mom...

If you can call her that.

She... She left when I was six.

And my little sister was four.

She had bipolar manic depression,
whatever you want to call it.

So, a couple of years go by.

And, my old man hooks up with
this woman. She was a junkie.

And...

She got him into the needle.

Hard, fast. He... He...

He was all in, doubled down.

And the girlfriend...

Couple of years later,
nine, I was. She said,

"Get rid of 'em. Get rid of the kids."

And that's what he did.
He just gave us away.

Your father gave his kids away?

Yeah.

Yeah, and I... I couldn't even be
with my little sister 'cause,

we were at different
foster homes, you know.

What happened to your father?

No idea. I've never seen him since.

Goodnight, Declan.

Everything's almost in place.

We're gonna come at Vito
with a coordinated attack

that's gonna make Normandy Beach
look like a pride parade.

But I gotta say, that move
he made against Toto...

Classic Vito.

But you're right, you're
right, good for us.

He'll think he gained some ground.

Keep him looking
in the other direction.

You've really shown me something here.

Glad you're on our side.

You're smart.
There's no doubt about that.

When you're in charge, nobody's
gonna mess with you after this.

It's one thing to cut a side deal.

Make some information.

It's another thing to take down a boss.

That last step is the big one.

It's the only one that matters.

Separates the proletariats
from the king.

Are you ready to be a king?

Absolutely.
