[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 fuckin' 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 ass 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 goddamn respect?
Huh?
- Let's fucking go.
- [LAUGHS]
- I like that.
- [CHUCKLES]
Alright. Here's our ride. [WHISTLES]
[CAR HORN HONKS]
[OZ] Welcome to the party, fellas!
Oz, your fuckin' 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 fuckin' Maronis took it
off my plate before I could.
So, how we getting it back?
- [EXPLOSION BOOMING]
- Whoa.
[OZ] Hey, listen.
The Maronis got a
huge fuckin' 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
motherfuckers the Maronis
are about to take back
what was taken from us.
This stupid motherfucker,
he's just beggin' to be got.

[TAJ GRUNTS]
[TAJ GRUNTS]
Hey. Hey.
Hold still, you piece of shit.
Oh, you are so fucked, man.

That's what I'm countin' on.

[DISTANT BUZZER SOUNDS]
What do you want?
I want what's mine.
What your wife stole from me.
I want my fuckin' shrooms.
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 dick 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.
- 'Cause I'm a gentleman.
- [SCOFFS]
Sal. [IN FARSI]
Hey!
Honor your end, and
Taj will be just fine.
Now

Eleven o'clock.
Red jacket.
[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.
[BIRD CALLING]

- [VITI BREATHING SHAKILY]
[DOOR CLOSES]
- [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
- [KEYS JINGLING]
[GRUNTING]
[SOFIA] The cops are
looking for you, Johnny.
Although I get the sense they'd
rather find you dead than alive.
[PANTING]
You're not looking too good.
[GROANS]
[BREATHING RAPIDLY]
[PAINED GRUNTS]
The fuck is wrong with you?
You're fucking sick.
What kind of person kills
their own fuckin' 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 fuckin' idiot?
The second I do what you want,
you fucking kill me.
So just fuckin' 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 killed 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 shit 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 shit 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 fuck was I supposed to do?
They stole my shit.
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 fuckin' do.
[NEWSCASTER] As of now,
GCPD has yet to confirm
- the total deceased
- Members of Falcone family dead.
Boo-hoo-hoo. Turn that shit off.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Look. I know this shit's grim,
but none of those fucks
were friends of ours.
They never made us.
Luca Falcone didn't even
know your fuckin' names.
So who ya missing?
That skinny little pussy, 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 fuck 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 fuck
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.
[BRUNO] Hold still, stop squirming.
- Get him up.
- [TAJ GRUNTING]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Let's get you home.
[DOOR OPENS]
- [MUSIC FADES]
- [VITI SHIVERING]
[EXHALES]
How you doing, Johnny?
[SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING]
You ready to head back to the house?
Maybe warm yourself by a nice fire,
light an expensive cigar?
[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 fucking car waiting
a few blocks down the road
and she never fuckin' showed.
[VITI CHOKING]
You are a desperate fucking 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 fucking couldn't take it.
She tried to leave once
before, but she came right back.
She came right back
'cause of you fucking kids.
Would've been so much easier for her
if it weren't for the two of you.
[MUSIC DARKENS]
[BARREL SCRAPING]
[VITI SHIVERING]
[VITI] I wi Sometimes, I wish
It's done.
What's done is [SHIVERS]
What's done is done.
What he did is done.
[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 war?
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.
[VITI GASPING]

[SOFIA] Hmm.
I didn't say anything.
What do you want, Julian?
Because I'm in the middle of something,
and I think we're past the
point of analysis, don't you?
Yes.
You're right.
And you were right about me.
But it's not the control I miss.
When I saw what happened on the news,
I knew it was you.
That you did what you had to do.
I can already see it,
what it's given you.
The release.

[VITI CLEARS THROAT]
[SOFIA] First, I'd like to address
the elephant in the room.
I gassed the Family.
[MAN WHISPERS] Oh, Jesus Christ.
I killed them all.
And I am
so glad
that they're dead.
My family disposed of my
mother like she was nothing.
Then they did the same to me.
And honestly,
none of you
are any different.
None of you are made men.
Except for Johnny here.
[KISSES]
The rest of you
[INHALES SHARPLY]
You're pawns.
You're overlooked.
Expendable.
[UNEASY MUSIC PLAYING]
My mother was Isabella Gigante.
[INHALES SHAKILY]
Few spoke of her after she died,
because she was a force
greater than the Falcones could handle.
As of today,
my father's legacy is dead
and we will never speak his name again.
From this point on,
I am a Gigante,
and this is a new Family now.
[HUSHED] What are you doing?
A family that will not
treat you like cannon fodder
in a fruitless war against the Maronis.
A war which I intend to end.
Alright, okay, Sofia.
Let's not be rash here.
These gentlemen know
we got a score we need to settle
[MEN GASPING]
[WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY]
[SOFIA] Hmm.
[SOFIA HUFFS]
This.
This was my father's.
But he made it off of your labor.
You did the dirty work
and they kept it all for themselves.
If you join me,
you will have a new Family.
And I'll pay you what you're worth.
More money than you've ever seen before.

This looks like the
apartment I had with my boys.
I hate it here.

[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-fuckin'-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 fuck each other over.
That's why this worked.
It ain't
After everything I done for you?
It ain't fucking workin' no more?
Huh? After everything
I fucking done for you?
Jesus fucking Christ!
Fuck.
I'm a fuckin' idiot!
- Fuckin' dumb.
- Okay, okay. Shh.
- Stupid. Stupid.
- No, no, no, no, no, no.

You know I'm yours.
But right now, I'm just

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
war between our Families.
[EXHALES]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm not gonna kill 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 kill Oz.
And then we take over the city.

No, Ma.
I ain't like him.

It's you and me under one roof now.

Are you're tryin' to kill 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.

Looked a helluva lot
like this fuckin' 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.

when I was a kid.
Politicians got greedy.
Diverted funds.
