OCTOBER 1994
MONTREAL
Let's wait before we pop the champagne.
Come on!
VENEZUELA, OCTOBER 1994
Up in there.
Everybody in place!
Paul, a little to the left. Get in there.
You too, Tony!
Your parents are gonna be proud! Venezuela!
As you know, the stars are aligned.
The government coalition in Italy
is solid.
It's headed by a prime minister
who understands the importance of business.
And that is very important,
both for our motherland...
For Montreal's Italian community.
And for our family.
So...
I'd like to propose a toast.
To the election of a new government in Italy.
Cheers!
And now,
my son Patrizio has some announcements to make.
- Go ahead. - Thanks, Dad.
First, I'd like to raise a glass to-
Yes, I'm coming.
Do me a favor, take this plate and get out of my sight.
Please, continue.
I'd like to toast Sofie's success.
She's back from Milan with a Master's degree
in international banking law.
I'd also like to announce
that Sofie and I got engaged in Italy.
I'm sure...
you'll be the perfect wife
for my son.
Thank you.
There's just one tiny problem.
She's only half Sicilian.
Forget about it!
- It doesn't matter! - Leave her alone!
My mother was born in Sicily.
In Saleni, near Erice.
Erice!
After 50,000 trips...
Yes, I've made money, but...
I'm 65 years old.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
They're not poisoned, are they?
Hello.
You're not asleep?
Patrizio isn't the right boy for you.
Those people always end up in prison or with a bullet in the head.
It doesn't change from one generation to the next.
I've been watching them for 30 years.
And you've been doing business with them for 30 years.
I dress them. It's not the same.
Pat says his father's going legit within a few years.
If Pat says so...
Dad! Frank knows a lot of people in banking.
He has contacts all over the world.
He says he'll help me.
Like he's helping your brother?
If it weren't for Vincent, I could never have gone to Milan.
Did you know it cost him $60,000?
You have to wonder where he gets it.
Anyway, what I say always goes in one ear and out the other.
That's not true.
Your opinion matters to me.
Sure!
It's my life, Dad.
YARMOUTH, NOVA SCOTIA
How's it going?
I'd only do this for you.
Jesus, Bill, what are you doing?
This is it, Vince!
Who's he? You said it was just you and me.
The bags are 25 kg each. I couldn't do it by myself.
Bill's a friend.
Well, I don't know Bill.
I know your father, though.
We did business together a couple years ago.
You see? He knows your father!
Calm down. It's just like I told you.
Help me so we can get out of here.
OK, Vince, here's your cut from the time you've been gone.
You need to get rid of this, subito.
The dope too. I can't keep it here.
Give me a couple days, OK?
Tommy Yap-Yap knows someone downtown. Mad Sal does business with him.
- I hear he's good. - I've got my own guy.
He just helped me unload it.
I drove 18 hours to bring back your shit.
Well, that's what unloading is. What's your problem?
It's the way you say it. I don't like your tone.
Are you having a hissy fit, Jackie?
That tone.
You scored big. Fine. You don't have to be a dick about it.
The guy on the boat didn't have to die.
The cops are going to get involved. You don't want that.
The family too. We don't want that.
- I didn't trust him. - Bullshit!
- He tried to steal from me. - You wanted to shut him up.
You're burning bridges. You're always on your own.
You don't tell me anything anymore.
My deal, my call.
You think my father won't ask you questions?
I think he'll just be proud and happy to fill his pockets.
Vince!
What?
You've been gone a while. You've missed some stuff, OK?
I'm bringing the Irish, the bikers and the gangs together.
You're cute when you're angry!
Great to see you too!
Seriously...
Thanks for everything, man.
- I'm starving! - A sub from Dino's?
First, I'd like to thank Reg for hosting us at his club.
And I want to congratulate you all for agreeing to be here,
despite your differences.
Frank, before we begin, I mentioned something to Giaco.
I want him to apologize to my brother.
In your dreams, limey.
It's not negotiable.
I didn't touch his brother.
Say that again, asshole!
Listen, Giaco worked very hard to bring us all together.
It would be a shame if...
You've been warring for years.
And what has come of it?
Deaths, injuries,
widows, orphans.
People are taking to the streets to march against you.
That was an accident. Collateral damage.
We offered the kid's mom $2 million.
That's nice. Did she take it?
We have to stop all this, my friends.
Our territory has become unstable.
Our sales have dropped 22% over the last two years.
My police contacts think you're an embarrassment.
We have to be disciplined.
We'll make a lot more money by working together
than by shooting each other.
So listen to what I have to say, then we'll-
Anybody have a pen?
No.
Maybe a knife, but not a pen.
I have a pen.
Rusty, Billy, in addition to the port,
I'm giving you Dorval.
The Lebanese have Dorval.
- We'll take care of that prick, Ayoub. - Consider it a gift.
Reg, I'll supply your gang and no one else.
300 kg to start.
- Blow? - Smack, $40 million worth.
That's my secret, cutie pie!
Giaco tells me you've agreed to a 70-30 split.
OK, fine.
I'll bump you up to 65...
35.
Toussaint, I'm offering you 5% of imports.
All good?
Vince is going to handle all your business, not Giaco.
You can't do this to me.
I did all the work.
I want serious partners.
Not savages.
Don't fuck this up.
Thank you, everyone.
Frank was pretty fucking generous.
Make the most of it!
Seriously, Vince, am I missing something?
He's right.
We'll make a lot more money working together.
He and his men aren't risking much.
They've been here for 30 years.
They have all the suppliers and the contacts.
That's true. By the way, I just hired a new waitress.
She's from the Caribbean, and she's kinky as fuck.
The Sicilian is pretty kinky, too.
There's beer in the fridge. The hard liquor's over there.
You've got your own? Come in! Put some music on!
This place is fucking nice, Vince!
Just because we've done this once doesn't make me yours, OK?
How many times would it take?
You can't afford me.
Is that all you've got, Vincenzo?
Is that it?
I have to know.
How did that son of a whore Vince...
manage to import all that?
I have to know everything.
Go.
That's crazy!
Let him talk.
Everything's good.
- You sure? - Yes.
Unless they snuck them up our asses, there are no bugs here.
