01x04 - Home is Where the g*n is

[bunniefuu]

DECLAN: Previously on
Bad Blood...

Number one priority,
taking care of my son.

You are my employee.

I pay you to take care of my family.

No more commission.

I just get a straight 10%.

I already have investors.

Not without the permits, you don't.

DECLAN: Some journalists with nothing
better to do for a couple years,

release a bombshell report

saying the entire city's
construction industry

was totally corrupt
and controlled by the mob.

If we find this to be true,
it will stand no more.

sh*t!

I need you to call your father.

Then you're gonna say,

"Dad, I hear you got a bad cough."

And then you'll insist

that he goes to see the prison doctor.

Why do you have pictures of my family?

You work at a prison, right?

- DECLAN: To cancer!
- ALL: To cancer!

To my son, coming home.

I am Vito, right now!

All we have is our name and
he is using it for himself.

I respect that name more than my own.

When's the funeral?

In three days.

You're not going to let me bury my son?

NICO SR.: These are your plants.

I am gonna show you everything
you need to know once.

Every day this summer, you're
gonna take care of this plant,

and for every one that dies
I'm going to punish you.

But for everyone that gives
you big, juicy tomatoes,

I am gonna kiss you.

Now, sometimes you're gonna
do everything right,

exactly the way I say,
and it's still gonna die.

And I'm still gonna punish you.

Now, you may not think that's fair,

but that's why I do it.

It is so that you learn that
someday when you are in charge,

no matter what happens,

there's an accident,
someone makes a mistake,

it is you who must take responsibility.

Your plants, your school,
your family, your business.

It is all yours.

You understand me, Vito?

Yes, Papa.

What's going on?

Man needs time to himself.

Just lost his son.

The funeral's today.











BRUNO: There you are.

I need a break.

There's got to be 150 people out there.

I hate funerals.

I know everyone hates funerals,

but this is totally inappropriate.

I don't want this many people in
my house on a happy occasion.

Just leave these poor people alone.

You know?

Mmm-mmm.

You know the job in Lachute?

Now we have a problem.

It turns out that the two guys...

- Bruno.
- Mmm?

I don't want to talk about work.

It's a funeral.

MARLON: It's roast beef tonight.

You gotta eat somethin', Mr. Rizzuto.

RACHEL: I have been
checking these all night.

Roads repaired in Montreal cost 37%
more than roads repaired in Ontario.

Okay, well, compile a list
of every city engineer,

permit approvals agents,
and city council

person attached to each project.

I guarantee you a pattern will emerge.

Oh, I also want a list of every
company that bid on every job.

I know all the reports
fingered Vito Rizzuto,

but I'm not finding anything
that connects us to him.

On paper, you won't. We'll need
to get testimony for that.

RACHEL: We're just
getting into this and

already finding obvious corruption.

How do these things go on for
so long without being noticed?

Payoffs, bribes... These things just
become the way of doing business.

Okay. We're looking for crooks,
so let's start with the crooks.

Guy, I want you to pull up
all records of anyone

arrested for fraud or corruption
over the last 12 years.

Then run those names against all

construction company
owners and employees.

There will be crossover somewhere.

We need to get someone
on record and out in

the press to scare
people out of hiding.

Let's shake some bushes.

What was that file you
wanted to show me?

Yeah.

Hmm.



Beautiful.

NEWSCASTER 1: The shot came from this
wooded area shortly before 6:00.

A b*llet pierced the solarium,
and then the patio door.

It hit Nicolo Rizzuto as he prepared
dinner with his wife and daughter.

NEWSCASTER 2: Rizzuto may have been,
at one time, a powerful mob boss,

but he died the head
of a very weakened family.

His grandson gunned down, his son
Vito unable to attend the funeral

as he serves out his sentence
in an American jail.

And today there is not much left

of what was once Canada's
most infamous crime family.



Wow! Papa.

So? It's like we thought.

- Sal.
- BRUNO: Yeah.

Well, who's Sal?

Sal Montagna. Acting head
of the Bonanno family.

DECLAN: And The 'Ndrangheta?

Probably doing Sal's bitchwork.

Wait, wait. Who's this now?

Calabrians out of Toronto. They
wanted our action for years.

Sal Montagna made an alliance
with them to take us out.



Okay.

I've gotta go, gentlemen.

I have got a meeting to attend.

Renata, before you go,
did you read this?

More sh*t on the corruption report.

Of course she read it.
The whole city's read it.

But did you see what they said about me?

They said I have ties to drugs.

Everybody knows that I hate drugs.

No. This is a blemish on my reputation.

Can I sue them?

No. You can't sue them.

DECLAN: Seriously?

That's what you are thinking about now?

Just asking.

Why did they have to k*ll him, Declan?

It ain't right.

It's a message.

Rizzuto name is done for now.

BRUNO: Poor Vito.

First his son, now his father.

When you step down, you're off limits.

- That's how it used to be.
- Yeah.

To the old man and Nico.

- Declan.
- What?

Everyone's feeling nervous.

Jacques, Papa Lou, Mick...

Not to mention our friends in city hall.

All these murders and now this garbage.

It's a lot all at once.

I got no time to babysit.
They need to calm down.

That's what I told them.

Vito will be home soon,
he'll take care of everything.

What is wrong with you?

Seriously?

What is wrong with you?

What? Tell me, what?

When you talk like that, Bruno,

you send a message that
we we're like, like,

waiting for Daddy to get
home to fix the sink.

I am in charge to the last day.

Right, you're right. I apologize.



I apologize.

Will it double our payouts?

- To who?
- Everyone.

It'll cost a fortune.

All Sal has to do is get it out
there that he's gonna pay more.

We could lose half the boots
on the ground.

Loyalty is in this room,

and a few others.

Everyone else is bought or scared.

But that's a shitload of money.

- Just do it.
- BRUNO: I'll do it.

Just saying it's a shitload of money.

But I'll do it.



This is a g*dd*mn disaster.

- You know what? You reek of panic.
- [SIGHS]

France is relentless.

Okay? She's incorruptible.

If Vito thinks he can buy her, he can't.

Or worse, if he needs
to buy her, he's screwed.

Aucoin.

These things, they take years, okay?

I mean, why are you
so turned out by this?

You got a construction company
I don't know about?

Is that it?

Everything's connected, Declan.

Tell me.

Has there been a construction
project over the last 15 years

you guys haven't been involved in, huh?

All it takes is one guy, just
one guy, in the chain to fold.

I'm gonna take care of it.



Vito.

Can't imagine what he is
going through right now.

Timing couldn't be worse, but...

he has got to take this very seriously.

That b*tch is gonna
dig up everything there is.



And know this, Declan, you guys
are gonna take a very serious hit

on your construction rackets.

That well is dry right now, and
that's gonna make you weaker.

Now, whoever it is
who's making a run at you

is gonna know that, and they are
gonna keep coming and coming.

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

I do.

Breathe.

You know, this commission
has nothing to do with us

or our businesses.

Okay? So just get that
out of your minds right now.

All your business is our
business, and vice versa.

Vito told us that once.

Mick, they're not looking for us.

They want politicians.

We keep our hands very clean.

Nobody deals directly with me or Vito.

When does Vito get out?

Soon.

And he's gonna want everything
in order when he does.

We were thinking of pulling
back a little. Just to be safe.

No. Everything stays the same.

Since Vito's been gone
and I've been in charge,

have any of you made less money?

Had more problems?

No to all of the above.

Is Vito in charge when he come back?

That's the idea.

We want to see him as soon as possible.

We want to hear it from him
that things are under control.

Mmm-hmm.

We're done.

- Oui.
- Yeah.

Hey, did you get the flowers we sent?

Yeah, we got 'em.

- Boys.
- Hi.

Well, I'm excited.

Vito is coming back today.

So, his plane lands at 3:00, right, Gio?

We don't want to be late.

What's going on?

Vito doesn't want you there.

- What?
- He doesn't wanna see you, Declan.

What are you talking about?

He didn't explain himself to me, Declan.

Okay, well, you should get going.



It's gonna, it's gonna be okay.

Just, you know, give him time.







NEWSCASTER 3: Inside
one of these unmarked cars,

Vito Rizzuto discreetly left
the Colorado prison.

The Mafia kingpin was immediately
transferred back to Canadian soil,

a homeland Rizzuto
may barely recognize.

During the six years
he served in the US

for his role in the m*rder of three
New York rivals in the '80s,

the criminal empire
he once ruled over in Canada

evaporated in b*ll*ts.

- Welcome back, Vito.
- Thank you.

Good to have you back, Mr. Rizzuto.

Thanks, Gio.

Everyone's at the house waiting for you.

I'm not going home.

- Where you going?
- Hotel.

I'll call the house. What would
you like me to tell them?

Nothing.



DECLAN: Vito locked
himself away in a hotel.

No one knew where he was,
and how to get a hold of him.

Me included.

He told Bruno and Gio he didn't
even want to hear my name

after what happened my watch.

I was no longer part of the family.



Do you know who I am?



I was told you gentlemen are the ones
who wrote about me in the article.

You know, the one about the
city corruption and all that?

I wanna talk to you about it.

Is there somewhere we can go?

How about in that office?

Oh, that's the editor
in chief's office.

That's fine with me.

You wrote that I am involved in drugs.

Actually, we wrote that you
work for Vito Rizzuto,

- who is involved in smuggling...
- Don't get smart.

Anybody who reads that in your paper,

to them it means that I sell drugs.

I detest drugs.

Drugs destroy our
neighborhoods, our children.

My friends, my family, people
of respect read your paper,

and now they think this could be true.

Okay, uh...

Is that all you came in to say?

I want you to write that it's not true!

Okay. You want us to
retract what we wrote?

Retract. Exactly.

- The whole story?
- Nah, nah, the rest I don't care about.

Just the part about me and drugs.

That's my reputation, my legacy.

Well, I'll see what I can do.

Um... May I ask you a few questions?

Of course.

The Rizzuto family is widely known

to be the most powerful
Mafia family in the northeast.

See, that's where we have a problem.

You are men of words.

You are professionals
in this department.

The words "widely known" is the problem.

Who widely knows?

Not a court of law,
not a judge or a jury.

Some degenerate who gambled
away his kid's future

told you Vito's a criminal so
that makes it widely known?

The secretary out there
told me you guys are h*m*.

So now, it's widely known you are h*m*!

Can I publish that in a newspaper?

No, I am. He's not.

I don't care about that stuff. I
just care about my reputation.

Now, I have another
appointment to go to.

When can I expect that retraction?

Where is he?

I don't know.

Don't give me that sh*t.

You wanna come in?

- You want a drink?
- No, I wanna know where he is.

I don't know.

Why is he hiding from me?

I'm gonna go to his house if someone
doesn't tell me where he is.

He won't see me.

What do you mean?

He won't see me.

I don't know where he is,
what he's doing.

So, uh, you know, you can
stop calling me now.

Nico was his pride and joy.

And then losing his father
on top of that.

Getting through this
is gonna be hell for him.

Yeah, I'm not really interested in
analyzing Vito's state of mind.

So, uh, you want a drink? Help yourself.

Otherwise, I'll see you around.

Sorry I bothered you.







Hi.



BRUNO: Declan!

How come you never invited
me up here before?

'Cause I don't like you.

This is my alone place, Bruno.

You spend all your time alone.

You look like sh*t.

- Thanks. So do you.
- Liar.

I look great.

How you been keeping?

Yeah.

I tried talking to him,
but he won't have it.

He barely talks. He's in
a coma half the time.

Want a beer?

Yeah.

How's your family?

Good. Loud. Expensive.

This is a great property.

The house is a piece of sh*t,
but what a view.

You should build yourself
something nice.

No, I like it just the way it is.

Quiet. Nice. Cheap.



You know, I never thought
it would turn out this way,

but maybe you should be grateful.

- It's getting tense out there.
- [g*nsh*t]

- [g*nsh*t]
- Holy sh*t!

Holy sh*t!

- Holy sh*t!
- Stay down.

Holy sh*t!





- Yeah.
- [DOOR OPENS]

DECLAN: I see you have got new security.

Collins is over there.

No, thanks.

You look good.

I don't want to talk around things.

You failed me.

I know Nico wasn't easy.
He don't listen.

But I left you in charge.

When you're in charge
whatever happens is on you.

So why'd you call me?

They tried to wipe out the family.

Including you.

You're one of us.

Am I?

I never doubted your loyalty.

You're asking me back?

Yeah.

Yes.

Okay.

RACHEL: We got someone.

- Who?
- Hank Fryman.

Him and his father own a major
construction firm in the city.

He was arrested a few years ago
for paying off a union official.

Bring him in.

- You can come in.
- [CLEARS THROAT] Thank you.

We have it from more than one source

that you have been working
with organized crime for years

and paying off city
officials to get contracts.

I will say that if you testify
to everything that you know,

it may help your other case.

But I can't guarantee that.

Okay.

Okay, what?



I'm tired of this.

I'm not a criminal.

Go on.

Every single site out there is paying

people off, skimming from the city.

The whole industry is a closed market.

No one, and I mean no one
can do business

unless you pay people
up and down the line.

Talk me through it.



There's only so many firms
that can handle big jobs.

We all took turns winning bids.

So you were in collusion
with the other firms?



And all those people at city
hall who approved those bids?

They were being paid off, too.

Then you paid 2.5% of the
entire cost to the Mafia.

And city engineers, politicians?

You paid everybody.

Nothing gets approved
unless a payout is made.

And all these people were
introduced to you by the Mafia.

Who are the Mafia people
you paid cash to directly?

They were always different people

and you never knew their names.

Did you ever meet Vito Rizzuto?

Uh, I met a few of his guys at
events, but I never met Vito, no.



The most famous gangster in the
city and no one's ever met him.

- MICK: So, you're back?
- Yeah.

Must have been one hell of an
a*s kissing session. [LAUGHS]

Where the hell is he?

He's in Montreal. Where he sleeps
is none of your g*dd*mn business.

MICK: Why isn't he here?

Why haven't we heard from him?

When he wants to show his face, Mick,
he'll show his face to you.

JACQUES: My place on the
South Shore was untouchable.

I could have served coke at the bar to


no one would go near it.

Last night we get raided.
What's going on?

MICK: Three of my corners
got busted last week.

Come on, gentlemen.

You've been around long enough to know

that the cops have to
make a show of things

every so often.
That's all it is.

It's circle of life in our jungle.

Everyone is saying he's scared.

I think they might be right.

You keep telling us
Vito's back and in charge.

But, uh...

I don't see no one in charge.

The main reason we joined this syndicate

was because Vito
owned city hall and the cops.

It's not looking like that anymore.

He won't even talk to us.

Instead, he sends
Laurel and Hardy. [LAUGHS]



So, what do we need this for?

That's funny, leprechaun.

You're talking to people, Mick?
Is that what you're doing?

You find a different money train?

You know what? I'll talk
to whoever I g*dd*mn want.

Oh, yeah? Yeah, you go right ahead.

BRUNO: Enough. Enough!

God damn it!

Get that out of your system?

Now, get your sh*t together.

This is how guys
end up doing 25 to life!

They get angry, and they get sloppy.

Vito is back.

He has weathered storms
much worse than this.

Now, you've all had it
so easy for too long.

You forgot what it's like to get
slapped around a little bit.

Just, just stop your bitching.

Take care of your end.
Vito will call when it's time.

Get 'em out of here.
Get 'em out of here.

Get 'em out of here.

Declan. Declan.

They're right.

I wouldn't say that in front of them,

but you and I have to talk about this.


make an appearance.

He's gotta make an appearance.

If I was them I would have already quit.

I mean, he has been back for months.

He hasn't left his hotel. He
hasn't even seen his family.

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



It might have been too much to bear.

I wouldn't blame him if that were true.

But you and I are here.

We have to think about our survival.

Our livelihood. I have a family.

The perception out there
is that he is weak.

True or not, that perception
invites attack and desertion.

What are you suggesting?

If Sal Montagna takes us
to w*r, we could lose.

I know.

So?

So, I'm the peacemaker.

That's what I do.

Okay?

DECLAN: Here's Sal Montagna.

Acting boss of the Bonanno crime family.

Sal was the new breed of capo. You know?

The means always justified the ends.

Sal recruited Toto Bianchi
on our side of the border.

He ran the 'Ndrangheta out of Toronto.

Sal, thanks for coming
all the way out here.

Like, I know it's far, but, uh,

if we're gonna do this and
make it work,

we gotta be careful, huh?

It's not a problem.

It's good thinking, huh?

It's a problem for me.

I'm not coming back
to this sh*thole again.

DECLAN: No matter who was in charge,

you had to work with the bikers.

There was just way too many
chapters to work around.

Discretion is important
at this juncture.

JACQUES: For him it is.

Vito will cut your head off
if he finds you.

Vito is not gonna be doing
much of anything pretty soon.

His organization is going to fall apart.

Both of you already think this
is the most likely outcome.

You wanna know how I know that?

Because you guys drove all the
way out here to this sh*thole

just to hear what I have to say.

I don't want to build condominiums,
and I don't wanna play golf.

We made a $100 million
last year from drugs,

bookmaking and protection.

Together we're gonna
double that when we take over.

I'm not even gonna ask if you're in

because I already know that you are.

DECLAN: Sal Montagna's here in Montreal.

I've been trying to... I've been
trying to arrange a sit-down,

but I can't get an answer
one way or another.

Why do you want a sit-down with him?

BRUNO: To do what we always do.
To come to an understanding.

Vito.

With all due respect,

everyone is nervous.

They know you're back,
but they haven't seen you.

Which is fine. You do
what you need to do.

But we are not
at our strongest right now.

They could get us
on all sides, the street,

the product, even the commission.

They could force somebody to
testify against you, who knows?

I think it would be better to settle

this peacefully, as
hard as that may be.

God knows I want to smash
that son of a b*tch's head in,

but the Bonanno's have money,
they have influence.

We could lose this w*r. If we
do, we'll lose everything.

Find out where he is.

Sure.

Thank you.

- Declan, talk to you later.
- All right.



What are you thinking?

I think we need to keep an eye on Bruno.

But I don't think that
he's entirely wrong.

What do you think?

I think...

the time for diplomacy is over.

No more partnerships.

No more handshakes.

I think Sal k*lled your son...

and Papa,

and should have his eyes cut out.

But I also think it takes a conspiracy
to assassinate a president.

I think we should take out
every piece of sh*t

that helped Sal.

We should take out
every other piece of sh*t

that thought about
screwing us in any way.

I think we clear out anyone
we can't see that is with us.

I think we should clear
the whole g*dd*mn board.

k*ll 'em all.

No one left but us.

Hmm.

Hi Juan

Won't be two minutes between
the antipasto and entree.

Keep a timer in the kitchen.

I've done this many times before

and I know that is the perfect
interval for a dinner party.

Now, for the wine.

Please, don't let these
heathens order off the menu.

Just keep bringing out
the wine that I chose.

I could give half these guys Manishewitz

and they wouldn't know the difference,

but they'll order the most expensive one

because they're not paying!

Now, dessert.

Tiramisu first, then espresso,

and then the cake.

But no candles. They know how old I am.

DECLAN: Why are we stopping here?

I wanna go for a walk.

- Jesus.
- Come on, it's a nice night.

It's fresh.

PAPARAZZO: Mr. Rizzuto, where you been?

I'm here now.

How does it feel to be out of jail, huh?

- What do you think?
- Hey, hey, hey.

How'd they know we were coming here?

- Vito? Jesus.
- Relax, relax.

DECLAN: Right then
at that moment, I got it.

Vito had tipped them off.

He was making an entrance.

He was letting everyone know, in
the most public and c*ck way,

he was back.



BRUNO: Vito, I'm honored
you'd come to my birthday.

Oh, are you kidding? You are
one of my oldest friends.

- I wouldn't have missed it.
- Thank you.





MAN: One, two, three, four...





- BRUNO: Wow, this a good cigar.
- VITO: Yeah.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Gio, you got the present?

GIO: Yeah, it's right here.

Oh, Vito, please, you've
already done too much.

Oh, come on, come on.
It's nothing.

It's your birthday.

That's for when you're
sitting on the porch...

It's beautiful, thank you.

- ...smoking a cigar, yes.
- Thank you.



Sit down, sit down. It's all right.
Don't thank me.

Do you remember when every house

- in the neighborhood had one of them?
- Yeah.

Big black ones.

They had their own stands.
They had ashtrays everywhere

'cause everyone smoked.

VITO: Yeah.

It's funny when one thing changes,
all these other things change.

You know?

When Nico and Pop were taken from me,

it changed how I saw things.

It changed how people saw me.

I don't know.

I don't know. Before it was always

too many things
to worry about, you know?

What would happen if I did A and
B and C, what would that affect?

And what would it affect
if I didn't do them.

Mmm?

I can't do that anymore.

Now... I can see only what I see.

Hmm?

Declan... Declan, he let me
down, but, you know...

I can see that he's with me.

- Yeah.
- You know?

And Gio, always,
I can see that he's with me.

Yeah.

But you, Bruno,

I can't always see you.

Huh? What do you mean?

Of course I'm on your side.
I'm on your side.

No, no, Bruno.

You're a peacemaker.

You sit on the fence.

You take care of your own interests.

You know?

You're not sure if I've got it anymore,

so you gotta protect your survival.

Your livelihood.

Vito, please, I...



Happy birthday.

Gio...

finish him off.

DECLAN: Next time on
Bad Blood...

- I got another one.
- [g*nsh*t]

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.

Chief of police is on
my a*s about all those

g*dd*mn bodies you guys are piling up,

that b*tch wants all our wiretaps,

you're gonna talk to me about chocolate?

But seriously, try one.
I want know what you think.

Vito is not himself these days,

and that's what
makes his friends nervous.

I say from now on, only you me and Gio

know the drop-off points.

You cannot treat me like garbage

because you feel like sh*t.
