[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[LOUD THUNDERCLAP CRASHING]

[OZ] I ever tell you
about Rex Calabrese?

[VICTOR] Uh, no.

He ran my neighborhood when I was a kid.

[DISTANT SIREN WAILING]

Had this, uh, gold Cadillac
with white leather seats.

- [FIRE ROARS]
- [OZ CHUCKLES]

Beautiful.

When it rolled down your street,

I mean, it felt like
your block was blessed.

Rex's ride, it wasn't just a car,

it was a f*ck' chariot.

Made a kid with a bum leg feel
like even he could be king.

[CHUCKLES]

- The end of an era.
- [THUNDER CRASHING]

[RAIN PATTERING]

[OZ] Come on.

[VICTOR] Uh, what about Sofia?

- Now that she knows...
- Sofia?

Ah, chick's a thorn
without a prick, kid.

We get our shrooms
back, she won't matter.

Right.

- Sorry, Oz.
- For what?

For wrecking your chariot.

I only got one shot at this.

You know, I-I see that now.

You came back, Vic.

Put your a*s on the line for me.

A hundred Maseratis
couldn't replace that.

Though this one came pretty damn close.

It's you and me now, kid. Till the end.

Ain't it time we get
ourselves some g*dd*mn respect?

Huh?

- Let's f*cking go.
- [LAUGHS]

- I like that.
- [CHUCKLES]

Alright. Here's our ride. [WHISTLES]

[CAR HORN HONKS]

[OZ] Welcome to the party, fellas!

Oz, your f*ck' car.

Ah, what are you gonna do?

Only the good die young.

So, listen. When I eat, you eat.

How it's always been, right?

- Yeah, 'course.
- Alright, good.

Well I got somethin' beautiful going.

A new drug. Homegrown.

I was gonna cut you in on it,

but f*ck' Maronis took it
off my plate before I could.

So, how we getting it back?

- [expl*si*n BOOMING]
- Whoa.

[OZ] Hey, listen.

The Maronis got a
huge f*ck' blind spot

just beggin' to be exploited.

Come here, look at this.

Yo, what up, fam.

I'm getting a slick new back piece

from the Chicano legend himself...

- [OZ] Taj Maroni.
- [LAUGHTER]

This is the heir to Sal's throne.

... to tell all you
m*therf*ckers the Maronis

are about to take back
what was taken from us.

This stupid m*therf*cker,
he's just beggin' to be got.

Our son is not a pawn.

There is a code.

Oh, is that right?

What, I take the wrong Maroni? That it?

[BANGS TABLE] You do
not threaten my family.

Jesus, Sal.

Put your d*ck away.

Don't forget who I got at home.

[SALVATORE GRUMBLES]

We meet early, before
sunrise, for the exchange.

Make sure my shrooms are ready to go.

And what do you say we
keep it nice and intimate?

Just you, me, and Taj.

No. My wife doesn't go alone.

Fine. I'll let you
take one guard, Nadia.

[NEWSCASTER ON TV] Breaking news.

A tragedy at the home of late mob boss

- Carmine Falcone...
- Hey, come on!

Some of us got places to be.

... Sofia Falcone, Carmine's daughter,

is currently one of the
only confirmed survivors.

GCPD has yet to release any results

of their still-early investigation,

but these deaths follow a
period of intense violence

between the Falcone and
the Maroni crime families.

[DRAMATIC, UNEASY MUSIC PLAYING]

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

[MUSIC DARKENS]

[MAN] Ms. Falcone?

Please, I prefer Sofia.

Police Chief Bock.

Gotham City Police Department.

[REPORTERS] Ms. Falcone!

[REPORTERS CLAMORING]

Can we, um... ?

Yeah.

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING OVERHEAD]

You said you remained in
the greenhouse all night.

Gia and I, yes. There was an argument

between my Uncle Luca
and my cousin Johnny.

Carla asked me to take Gia outside...

keep her away from it.

[BOCK] What was the argument about?

[VEHICLE DRIVES OFF]

I, uh, only heard bits and pieces.

Something about Luca's wife, Tina.

There were rumors about
an affair, but I, uh...

It wasn't a good situation
for a young girl to be in.

Johnny Viti's not among the dead.

Any idea where we might find him?

I'm sorry, no.

He must've left last night.

I didn't come back
inside until this morning.

And that's when I, uh...

[WHISPERS] ... saw the bodies.

Excuse me.

Awfully suspicious, don't you think?

Prominent crime family in
Gotham wiped out by a gas leak?

[UNEASY MUSIC PLAYING]

Is that a question
you'd like me to answer?

Tell me,

is it common for the chief of police

to respond to house calls?

We are quite a ways from the city.

I hope you didn't come to my home

to throw my family's death in my face.

It's a new era in Gotham, Ms. Falcone.

The mayor-elect's got a mandate

to put an end to the scum of this city.

So you're here to see it for yourself.

Hmm?

And I suppose you and your boys
are gonna go for beers later?

To celebrate?

Maybe swap photos of my dead relatives?

Or are you going to sell
those to the Gazette

to make up for all the lost kickbacks?

We're doing our due diligence.

If you hear from Johnny
Viti, give us a call.

Sorry for your loss.

The f*ck is wrong with you?

You're f*cking sick.

What kind of person kills
their own f*ck' family?

- I need untraceable cash.
- [SIGHS]

I know that my father would
have kept it somewhere close.

And all you gotta do is show me.

- And then I'll let you go.
- Right.

[CHUCKLES]

You think I'm a f*ck' idiot?

The second I do what you want,

you f*cking k*ll me.

So just f*ck' do it already.

Oh, please, Johnny.

You're not that brave.

But if you need more
time to think, you got it.

[CHAINS RATTLING]

Although you should know,
it gets very cold down here.

And with the work
that it takes your body

to keep your organs alive...

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

... you won't last long.

Wait!

[SCREAMS]

[NEWSCASTER] Several members
of the Falcone family

are still reported missing,
including Johnny Viti...

[EVE] She knows you k*lled her brother,

and now she's gassed her entire family.

[OZ] Doll, let's relax.

[EVE] Don't tell me to relax.

I was your alibi, Oz.

You made me that.

Keep your voice down, alright?

The guys don't know all the details.

You got too many plates spinning.

Listen, sweetheart, I know
you can't see it right now,

but all this sh*t goin'
down, it's a good thing.

I put it all in motion.
Luca, the Family...

Sofia just took the bait, that's all.

Baby, do you even know when
you're full of sh*t anymore?

- Huh?
- Me and the girls.

You dangled us in front of her.

- I didn't dangle you.
- You think it's a good thing?

The Hangman knowing their
names, their faces...

She's gunning for us now.

While Taj Maroni sits in my apartment.

[OZ] The f*ck was I supposed to do?

They stole my sh*t.

Come on, doll.

Nothing's gonna happen to you.

Nothing's gonna happen
to you. I won't let it.

All I'm askin' is for you to
hang tight just a little longer.

That's it.

And then it's you and me
on top of the world, baby.

I need you to fix this.

That's what I do. I fix things.

Don't I fix things? Huh?

[NEWSCASTER] ... there is no
threat to rescue workers...

That's all I ever f*ck' do.

[NEWSCASTER] As of now,
GCPD has yet to confirm

- the total deceased...
- Members of Falcone family dead.

Boo-hoo-hoo. Turn that sh*t off.

Jesus f*cking Christ.

Look. I know this sh*t's grim,

but none of those f*ck
were friends of ours.

They never made us.

Luca Falcone didn't even
know your f*ck' names.

So who ya missing?

That skinny little p*ssy, Johnny Viti?

Milos?

Guy wore lifts in his
shoes. We all knew it.

The way I see it,

Sofia done us a favor.

- One family down, one to go.
- [MEN CHUCKLING]

Now, let's get back what
belongs to us, alright?

- [MAN 1] All right.
- Get the f*ck out.

- [MAN 2] Let's go, brother.
- [OZ] Let's do it.

Hey, come on.

You. Come here.

[MAN 1] Come on.

I'm gonna need you with my ma.

- Oz, I thought I'd, uh...
- [DOOR CLOSES]

... be with you and the guys.

I'm ready, I swear...

I know you wanna get in the fight, kid,

but I ain't got no one
else I can trust, and look.

Sofia's gonna come for us.
Whether it's today or tomorrow,

she's gonna do whatever the f*ck
it takes, and I can't have...

I mean, my ma, she's, you know...

She's what keeps me good.

I gotta know she's alright.

Yeah. Done.

I'm gonna... I'll-I'll take care of her.

I promise.

[VITI COUGHING]

Or...

do you want to die
down here in the dark,

with all the greats?

[VITI PANTING, COUGHING]

I can't guarantee you'll
get one of these, uh,

gold nameplates, but
I'm sure we can find you

a very nice unmarked hole somewhere.

She-She was gonna leave him, you know...

The night Isabella died.

She was gonna leave Carmine.

Don't talk about my mother.

[VITI] You remember, don't you?

You were all packed and ready to go.

She was gonna take you
and your brother on a trip.

That's what she told you.

She was my cousin.

I loved her.

She asked for my help.

I had a f*cking car waiting
a few blocks down the road

and she never f*ck' showed.

[VITI CHOKING]

You are a desperate f*cking liar.

I swear.

I got no reason to lie anymore!

[VITI COUGHS]

I ain't tryin' to push
on a bruise, Sofia.

She was with Carmine 'cause of me.

You knew that, right?

I introduced them.

And your father.

He was smitten right outta the gate.

God, she was beautiful, your mom.

[EMOTIONAL, UNEASY MUSIC PLAYING]

She was so beautiful.

She had that laugh.
When you got her going,

it'd knock you out.

[LAUGHS SOFTLY]

She couldn't take it
anymore being his wife.

She just f*cking couldn't take it.

She tried to leave once
before, but she came right back.

She came right back
'cause of you f*cking kids.

Would've been so much easier for her

if it weren't for the two of you.

[SIGHS, SHIVERS]

But you kept on working for him.

You loved her so much, you
were his underboss for years.

Yeah.

- [VITI SIGHS, SHIVERS]
- Yeah.

But you need me now, Sofia.

You need me.

You wanna be boss?
You wanna win this w*r?

Then money's not
enough. You need respect.

You need soldiers who
want to fight for you.

You go it alone out there,
you're not gonna last a day.

I can get you that respect.

I couldn't help your mother.

Let me help you.

Please. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.

Come here, come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

Please.

His name...

His name is S-Squid.

He's a bad guy.

He runs, uh, Drops and all
the other stuff in this area.

Listen, Francis.

We gotta get off of the
street right now, okay?

That's where we're headed. You ready?

[GLASS CLINKING]

[FRANCIS] Where are you takin' me?

[VICTOR] My friend Calvin's apartment.

He used to live here.

Watch your step.

It's been condemned.

Come on.

This looks like the
apartment I had with my boys.

I hate it here.

[EVE] It's okay. It's okay.

[OZ] Alright, get your things.

Come on.

We gotta lay low. Vic's
already in Crown Point.

He's got us a nice spot by the Zoo.

Crown Point? What are you talking about?

I know it ain't perfect.

It's the only place Sal
and Sofia got no pull.

Sal? Oh my God, Oz.

There's something else.
Before we go, I gotta tell ya.

It ain't just me and Vic, alright?

Yeah, but, Oz.

I'm not... I'm not going with you.

I can't.

I thought we was in this together.

Un-f*ck'-believable,
you're doing this right now.

Where you gonna go, huh?

You got some high roller you'd
rather shack up with, huh?

- For the money?
- Oz. Baby.

We had a deal.

We look out for each other.
We don't f*ck each other over.

That's why this worked.

It ain't...

After everything I done for you?

It ain't f*cking workin' no more?

Huh? After everything
I f*cking done for you?

Jesus f*cking Christ!

f*ck.

I'm a f*ck' idiot!

- f*ck' dumb.
- Okay, okay. Shh.

- Stupid. Stupid.
- No, no, no, no, no, no.

You're onto something, baby.

I know you gonna be on top again soon.

You know I'm yours.

But right now, I'm just...

I'm just gonna hold you back.

Sit down, Salvatore.

What a funky hideout.

Big fan of wood, I see.

Ooh!

Oh, Antonucci's.

Oh, that doesn't look
like it traveled well.

My father always said
you were too sentimental.

That it made you weak.

I don't think he understood

why you cared so much about your family.

That's because you
Falcones eat your own.

Your family had it right, I think.

Ten years ago,

some measly driver

spun a bullshit story about me.

He betrayed me,

the daughter of the Falcone Don,

and he got rewarded for it.

And now here we are.

Both of us suffering at
the hands of that same man.

[BREATHES SHAKILY]

But you...

Would you have let that stand?

[SCOFFS]

I woulda ripped out his tongue
and left him for the vultures.

That's what I thought.

I'm very sorry about your
wife and son, Salvatore.

Why are you here? What do you want?

I've come here to end the
w*r between our Families.

[EXHALES]

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

I'm not gonna k*ll you.

Why?

Because it's what Oz wants.

Ah, Falcones and Maronis have been...

The Falcones don't exist anymore.

I am offering you an alliance.

We join our families,

the Maronis and Gigantes,

as a show of strength.

We k*ll Oz.

And then we take over the city.

I just gotta figure out my next move.

Yep.

My boy... [SNIFFLES]

With such big dreams.

[OZ CHUCKLES]

Like your father.

No, Ma.

I ain't like him.

- I can fix this.
- [FRANCIS MURMURS]

It's you and me under one roof now.

Like it used to be.

Are you're tryin' to k*ll me?

No, Ma, I'm tryin' to protect you.

It's better this way,

when we're together.

Takin' me back here,

you're throwin' it in my face...

what I lost.

I lost 'em too.

It was a smart move.

[VICTOR] She s-said that you guys

kinda lived near here?

[OZ] Two-bedroom walk-up.

Looked a helluva lot
like this f*ck' dump.

[CHUCKLES]

This was Jack's.

Benny didn't play ball.

[VICTOR] What happened to 'em?

To your brothers?

The city took 'em.

Just like it took your family.

There was nothin' I could...

I was, uh...

too weak.

My brothers and me, we used to
get into all kinds of trouble.

Back then, when we was kids,

we just had the city, you know?

That was our playground.

["A FOREST" BY THE CURE PLAYING]

[OZ] They were abandoned
when I was a kid.

Politicians got greedy.

Diverted funds.

One day, the trolleys
just stopped runnin'.

but once we do...

Hey, kid!

You feel that, right?

It's humid down here, dark.

You know what thrives
in a place like this?

- Mushrooms?
- Bingo.

Yeah, mushrooms.

Welcome to our new base of operations.
