The Last Godfather

COPS!

YOU GET DOWN.

- COME ON. - STAY WHERE YOU ARE.

COME ON.

- ( horn honks ) - PARDON ME.

THAT'S TONY V.

THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IN THIS CRAZY WORLD

IS FAMILY.

FAMIGLIA. EVERYTHING ELSE COMES IN SECOND.

- AGREED? - AGREED.

AND THAT IS WHY YOU ARE ALL HERE TODAY.

SO I WANT YOU TO REALIZE

THE DECISION I'VE COME TO

I DID NOT COME TO LIGHTLY.

- MM-HMM. - IT IS TIME

- I AM STEPPING DOWN AS DON. NO!

- STEPPING DOWN? - BUT, MR. CARINI, THIS IS...

STATE ZITTI! RESPECT.

THANK YOU, ANTHONY.

DON CARINI, FOR EVERYONE PRESENT,

BUT YOU ARE TOO YOUNG TO RETIRE.

NO, I AM AN OLD MAN.

I HAVE LIVED A LONG LIFE,

BUT NOBODY LIVES FOREVER.

IF...

IF YOU THINK THAT THIS IS THE TIME TO STEP DOWN,

DON CARINI, THEN WHO ARE ANY OF US

TO QUESTION YOUR WISDOM?

ANTHONY, EVER SINCE I TOOK YOU IN AS A SMALL BOY,

YOU HAVE BEEN LIKE A SON TO ME.

I AM HUMBLED BY YOUR KIND WORDS.

I COULD ALWAYS COUNT ON YOU TO THINK OF THE FAMILY FIRST.

- UNTIL MY DYING BREATH. - YOU ARE LOYAL AND RESPECTFUL.

YOU KNOW I CARE ABOUT THE FAMILY

MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS WORLD.

AND THAT IS WHY I WANT YOU TO HELP TRAIN MY SUCCESSOR.

WHAT?

ANTHONY, YOU ARE LIKE A SON TO ME,

BUT YOU ARE NOT MY SON.

ALL DUE RESPECT, DON CARINI, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE A SON.

- I DO HAVE A SON. - WHAT?

HE IS THE ONE I WANT TO TAKE OVER THE HEAD OF THIS FAMILY.

- ( gulls cawing ) - ( ship's horn blowing )

REMEMBER WHEN I HAD TO TAKE A POWDER DURING THE LAST WAR WITH THE BONFANTES?

I JUMPED ON A SHIP HEADED FOR ASIA.

AND THERE, IN ALL PLACES KOREA,

I MET THE WOMAN WHO CAPTURED MY HEART--

SOO MI PARK.

SKIN LIKE BUTTER.

HAIR AS SOFT AS SILK.

WE HAD A SON TOGETHER.

SHE NAMED HIM...

- YOUNGGU. - YOUNGGU?

THE BONFANTES FOUND OUT WHERE I WAS HIDING

AND THEY SENT ONE OF THEIR ZIPS.

AND SOO MI,

MY SOULMATE,

TOOK THE BULLET THAT WAS INTENDED FOR ME.

I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO BRING MY YOUNG SON,

YOUNGGU, TO AN ORPHANAGE,

AND RETURN TO AMERICA ALONE TO SETTLE BUSINESS.

BUT I NEVER FORGOT ABOUT MY BOY, MY BLOOD,

MY SON YOUNGGU.

DON CARINI, I WILL GO TO KOREA THIS INSTANT AND BRING YOUR SON HOME.

THAT WON'T BE NECESSARY, MACHO.

THE NUN AT THE ORPHANAGE IS RELOCATING HERE,

- SO THEY'RE COMING TOGETHER. - IF HE'S ANYTHING LIKE YOU, BOSS,

I'M SURE HE'S A HANDSOME GUY.

- HUH? - YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.

EH.

DON CARINI, THEY'RE HERE.

THEY'RE HERE!

- ALL RIGHT, GOTTA GO. LET'S GO. - GET UP.

GET OUT OF THERE. COME ON.

STEP ASIDE.

YOUNGGU CARINI.

I AM YOUR FATHER, GINO CARINI,

AND YOU ARE MY SON.

YOU MY FATHER?

I'M YOUR SON?

I DIDN'T KNOW.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR TAKING SUCH GOOD CARE OF MY SON.

HOW CAN I EVER EVER REPAY YOUR KINDNESS?

CARING FOR YOUNGGU WAS AN ABSOLUTE...

JOY.

HE'S A SPECIAL BOY.

- EH. - IT MAKES ME SAD TO SAY GOODBYE.

OH, THERESA.

- ( bottle shatters ) - HUH?

DON CARINI...

ALL DUE RESPECT, IS THIS REALLY YOUR SON?

HE'S HUNGRY. IT WAS A LONG TRIP.

Tony: I'M JUST SAYING,

IT'S A BIG JOB, RUNNING A FAMILY.

MAYBE WE CAN SET HIM UP IN, YOU KNOW, QUEENS

BOOKMAKING OR MAYBE LOAN SHARKING.

YOUNGGU IS MY SON

AND HE IS GOING TO HEAD THIS FAMILY.

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, THEN WE HAVE A PROBLEM.

- PROBLEM. - FORGIVE ME, DON CARINI.

- I'VE GOT NO PROBLEM. - GOOD!

OF COURSE, IT'S UP TO YOU, TONY, TO SHOW HIM THE ROPES,

TO GET HIM UP TO SPEED

AND TO MAKE SURE HE'S READY FOR THE DAY WHEN HE BECOMES THE CAPO DI TUTTI CAPI.

- ( grunting ) - CAPISCE?

HO CAPITO.

SPAGHETTI BIG PROBLEM.

- GLASS. - OKAY.

AHHH.

Man: LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.

DON CARINI HAS A SON?

IT MUSTA BEEN WHEN HE HID OUT DURING THE LAST MOB WAR.

CARINI JUST BROUGHT HIM OVER FROM KOREA.

AND GET THIS, HE JUST TOLD ALL HIS MEN

HIS SON IS GONNA BE THE NEXT DON.

A FOREIGNER SON? THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE.

IT GETS BETTER. THIS SON?

MY GUY ON THE INSIDE SAID THAT HE'S A TOTAL MORON.

DON CARINI MAY BE A RAT,

BUT HE'S THE SMARTEST RAT I EVER MET

AND HE WOULD NOT HAND THE REINS OF HIS FAMILY OVER TO SOME SIMPLETON.

WE GOTTA TEST THIS SON.

GIVE IT TO BOBBY DONUTS.

DON, ABOUT BOBBY DONUTS...

HMM?

Man: DIVERS FOUND THE BODY THIS MORNING.

BOBBY DONUTS--

HE WAS A SOLDIER FOR THE BONFANTES.

NO DOUBT PAYBACK FOR HARRY THE HORSE.

YOU KNOW, IF THESE GANG GUYS KEEP KILLING THEMSELVES,

WE'RE GONNA BE OUT OF A JOB. GOOD WORK, JEFF.

WORD HAS IT THE CARINIS

HAVE STOLEN CARGO FROM THE AIRPORT.

OH, YEAH? WELL, I GOTTA SEE THAT WITH MY OWN EYES.

AND DON CARINI HAS BROUGHT IN SOME FRESH BLOOD--

A NEW UNDERBOSS-- AN IMPORT.

- FROM SICILY? - NO, KOREA.

THEY BROUGHT A GUY IN FROM KOREA?

OH, THIS IS BAD.

NO! HEY, NO! HEY, NO NO!

OH MAN! COME ON.

- MOVE IT OVER. - I JUST HAD IT WASHED AND WAXED.

AHH, LOOK AT THIS. OH MAN.

WHAT AN IDIOT.

IT'S THE LOVE OF MY LIFE.

ALL RIGHT, WRAP THIS THING UP. GET ME A DOSSIER ON THIS NEW GUY

AND LET'S SEE IF WE CAN'T KEEP THE CITY FROM BREAKING OUT INTO AN ALL-OUT MOB WAR.

WILL YOU GUYS FIND OUT WHAT "DOSSIER" MEANS?

YEAH, SURE.

HOW'S THE BODY?

STABBED? WAS HE SHOT?

HE GOT ON CONCRETE BOOTS?

HEY, COME ON NOW, YOUNGGU.

WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?

COME ON, YOUNGGU. WHILE WE'RE YOUNG.

WHY YOU LOOK AT ME?

- YOU LOOK LIKE A CIRCUS CLOWN. - HUH?

YOUNGGU, YOU WANNA BE A MADE MAN, YOU GOTTA LOOK LIKE A MADE MAN.

- MAN, NOT MAID. - ARTURO, COME HERE.

HOOK HIM UP WITH A SHARKSKIN SUIT,

SOME SILK SHIRTS, ITALIAN LOAFERS, THE WORKS.

OKAY? IT'S GOING TO TAKE LONGER THAN WE THOUGHT.

- YEAH, LET'S LOOK AROUND. - SHOW ME SOMETHING WITH A WIDER LAPEL.

THIS GUY IS DRIVING ME NUTS.

- HMM? - ( vacuum whirring )

- ( shouting ) - WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA!

- YOUNGGU-- AH AH! - I GOT IT, TONY. I GOT IT!

WAIT WAIT, NOT THERE. NOT THERE!

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE.

WAIT A MINUTE. I'LL GET IT.

GET IT OUT OF THERE. GIVE-- GIMME THIS!

- WHAT IS DIS? - DON'T TOUCH!

- DON'T TOUCH! - OKAY!

I OUGHT TO SMACK YOU!

Tony: OKAY, SCHOOL'S IN.

THE CARINI FAMILY CONTROLS EVERYTHING

FROM MOTT STREET TO THE DELANCEY STREET PARK DOWN THERE.

- THIS IS OUR TURF. - OH, OUR TURF.

YEAH. EVERYTHING YOU SEE IS OURS.

- WE GET OUR CUT-- - Macho: STAY RIGHT THERE!

--FROM EVERY RETAIL SHOP, EVERY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT,

EVERY TRASH PICKUP. IT'S ALL OURS.

- OH, OUR TRASH. - YEAH, IT'S ALL OURS.

OH.

IT MUST HURT, NOT GETTING PICKED BY DON CARINI.

SHUT UP.

WE CAN'T TAKE THIS MAMALUKE ON ROUNDS.

- HE'S GONNA MAKE US LOOK BAD. - I KNOW, I KNOW.

- DON'T MOVE! - WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM?

LOOK AT THIS CUCUMBER.

AHA! HA HA HA.

- AHA HA HA. - YEAH, LET'S GO.
