Man Narrating: When you love
someone, you've gotta trust them.
2
00:00:53,060 --> 00:00:55,019
There's no other way.
3
00:00:55,020 --> 00:00:58,700
You've got to give them the key
to everything that's yours.
4
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,990
Otherwise, what's the point?
5
00:01:03,490 --> 00:01:08,160
And, for a while, I believed
that's the kind of love I had.

00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,170
( CHOIR SINGING )
7
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,080
Before I ever ran a casino,
or got myself blown up...
8
00:03:17,170 --> 00:03:21,340
Ace Rothstein was a hell
of a handicapper, I can tell you that.
9
00:03:21,420 --> 00:03:24,010
I was so good that whenever I bet,
I could change the odds...
10
00:03:24,050 --> 00:03:26,010
for every bookmaker
in the country.
11
00:03:26,050 --> 00:03:28,550
I'm serious,
I had it down so cold...
12
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,010
that I was given
paradise on earth.
13
00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:35,270
I was given one of the biggest casinos
in Las Vegas to run, the Tangiers...
14
00:03:35,350 --> 00:03:39,650
by the only kind of guys that can
actually get you that kind of money...
15
00:03:39,730 --> 00:03:43,490
$62,700,000.
16
00:03:43,570 --> 00:03:45,450
I don't know all the details.
17
00:03:46,030 --> 00:03:49,151
Man 2 Narrating: Nobody knew all the
details, but it should've been perfect.
18
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,990
I mean, he had me, Nicky Santoro,
his best friend, watching his ass...
19
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,000
and he had, Ginger,
the woman he loved, on his arm.
20
00:03:58,290 --> 00:04:00,880
But in the end,
we fucked it all up.
21
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,960
It should've been so sweet too.
22
00:04:03,050 --> 00:04:06,470
But it turned out to be the last time
that street guys like us...
23
00:04:06,510 --> 00:04:09,340
were ever given anything
that fuckin' valuable again.
24
00:04:14,350 --> 00:04:16,640
Ace: At that time, Vegas was a
place where millions of suckers...
25
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,650
flew in every year
on their own nickel...
26
00:04:18,690 --> 00:04:21,310
and left behind
about a billion dollars.
27
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,030
But at night, you couldn't see
the desert that surrounds Las Vegas.
28
00:04:27,570 --> 00:04:31,030
But it's in the desert where lots
of the town's problems are solved.
29
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,160
Nicky: Got a lot of holes
in the desert...
30
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,250
and a lot of problems
are buried in those holes.
31
00:04:36,330 --> 00:04:38,250
Except you gotta do it right.
32
00:04:38,330 --> 00:04:40,250
I mean, you gotta have
the hole already dug...
33
00:04:40,330 --> 00:04:43,250
before you show up
with a package in the trunk.
34
00:04:43,380 --> 00:04:46,130
Otherwise, you're talking about
a half hour or 45 minutes of diggin'.
35
00:04:46,170 --> 00:04:48,840
And who knows who's gonna
be comin' along in that time?
36
00:04:48,930 --> 00:04:51,760
Before you know it,
you gotta dig a few more holes.
37
00:04:51,850 --> 00:04:54,560
You could be there
all fuckin' night.
38
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,930

( SCATTING CONTINUES )
41
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,120
Ace: Who could resist?
42
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,160
Anywhere else in the country
I was a bookie, a gambler...
43
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,120
always lookin' over my shoulder,
hassled by cops, day and night.
44
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,670
But here, I'm Mr. Rothstein.
45
00:05:20,750 --> 00:05:23,540
I'm not only legitimate,
but running a casino.
46
00:05:23,630 --> 00:05:27,510
And that's like selling people
dreams for cash.
47
00:05:27,630 --> 00:05:31,840
I hired an old casino pal, Billy Sherbert,
as my manager, and I went to work.
48
00:05:31,930 --> 00:05:34,890
The casino manager. And this is
Ronnie, who takes care of the card room.
49
00:05:37,890 --> 00:05:40,890
Ace: For guys like me,
Las Vegas washes away your sins.
50
00:05:41,020 --> 00:05:43,020
It's like a morality car wash.
51
00:05:43,150 --> 00:05:46,570
It does for us what Lourdes
does for humpbacks and cripples.
52
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,200
And along with making us legit...
53
00:05:55,330 --> 00:05:58,830
comes cash, tons of it.
54
00:05:58,870 --> 00:06:01,710
I mean, what do you think we're doing
out here in the middle of the desert?
55
00:06:01,830 --> 00:06:04,830
It's all this money.
56
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,250
This is the end result
of all the bright lights...
57
00:06:07,340 --> 00:06:10,420
and the comp trips,
of all the champagne...
58
00:06:10,510 --> 00:06:14,140
and free hotel suites,
and all the broads and all the booze.
59
00:06:14,260 --> 00:06:18,810
It's all been arranged
just for us to get your money.
60
00:06:19,970 --> 00:06:21,980
That's the truth about Las Vegas.
61
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,360
We're the only winners.
62
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,360
The players don't stand a chance.
63
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,690
And their cash flows
from the tables...
64
00:06:31,820 --> 00:06:34,490
to our boxes through the cage...
65
00:06:34,530 --> 00:06:37,120
and into the most sacred room
in the casino.
66
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,369
The place where they add up
all the money...
67
00:06:39,370 --> 00:06:41,870
the holy of holies,
the count room.
68
00:06:44,710 --> 00:06:47,170
- Now, this place was off-limits.
- Verify 3,000.
69
00:06:47,250 --> 00:06:49,170
Even I couldn't get inside.
70
00:06:49,250 --> 00:06:51,630
But it was my job to keep it filled
with cash. That's for sure.
71
00:06:51,710 --> 00:06:53,630
Nicky: They had so much
fuckin' money in there...
72
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,470
you could build a house out
of stacks of hundred-dollar bills.
73
00:06:56,550 --> 00:06:58,470
And the best part
was that upstairs...
74
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,770
the board of directors didn't know what
the fuck was going on. - Five thousand.
75
00:07:00,850 --> 00:07:03,270
I mean, to them everything
looked on the up-and-up.
76
00:07:03,350 --> 00:07:05,270
Right? Wrong.
77
00:07:05,350 --> 00:07:07,270
Verify 5,000.
78
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,270
- The guys inside the counting room...
- Five thousand.
79
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,190
Were all slipped in there
to skim the joint dry.
80
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,410
They'd do short counts,
they'd lose fill slips.
81
00:07:15,450 --> 00:07:17,950
They'd even take cash
right out of the drop boxes.
82
00:07:18,030 --> 00:07:19,950
And it was up to this guy
right here...
83
00:07:20,030 --> 00:07:22,080
standin' in front
of about two million dollars...
84
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,580
to skim the cash off the top
without anybody gettin' wise...
85
00:07:25,620 --> 00:07:27,880
- the IRS or anybody.
- Verify 200.
86
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,090
Now, notice how in the count room
nobody ever seems to see anything.
87
00:07:31,170 --> 00:07:33,470
Somehow, somebody's always
lookin' the other way.
88
00:07:33,550 --> 00:07:35,590
Now, look at these guys.
They look busy, right?
89
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,390
They're countin' money.
Who wants to bother them?
90
00:07:38,430 --> 00:07:42,060
I mean, God forbid they should make
a mistake and forget to steal.
91
00:07:42,100 --> 00:07:45,600
Meanwhile,
you're in and you're out.
92
00:07:45,690 --> 00:07:48,520
Past the jag-off guard
who gets an extra C-note a week...
93
00:07:48,610 --> 00:07:51,190
just to watch the door.
94
00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:55,240
It's routine. Business as usual:
In, out, hello, good-bye.
95
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,240
And that's all there is to it.
96
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,580
Just another fat fuck walkin' out
of the casino with a suitcase.
97
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,750
Now that suitcase was goin'
straight to one place:
98
00:08:04,790 --> 00:08:07,540
Right to Kansas City,
which was as close...
99
00:08:07,620 --> 00:08:09,670
to Las Vegas as the Midwest
bosses could go...
100
00:08:09,750 --> 00:08:12,050
without gettin' themselves arrested.
101
00:08:12,130 --> 00:08:14,380
That suitcase was all...
102
00:08:14,460 --> 00:08:16,380
the bosses ever wanted.
103
00:08:16,470 --> 00:08:19,720
- And they wanted it every month.
- Hey, John, how was your ride?
104
00:08:24,770 --> 00:08:26,770
Now this old Mormon fuck here...
105
00:08:26,810 --> 00:08:30,190
he had to fly in with suitcases
once a month, nice and easy.
106
00:08:30,270 --> 00:08:32,770
- Somethin' smells good.
- Yeah, they made us somethin' to eat.
107
00:08:32,820 --> 00:08:34,980
The bosses would come
from all over the place:
108
00:08:35,030 --> 00:08:37,320
Detroit, Cleveland, Milwaukee...
109
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,410
all over the Midwest.
110
00:08:39,490 --> 00:08:42,450
And they would meet in the back
of this produce market in Kansas City.
111
00:08:42,490 --> 00:08:44,660
I mean, nobody even knew it.
112
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:47,000
One of the guys made
his mother do all the cookin'.
113
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,250
- Do you ever see that guy Jerry Steriano?
- Jerry Steriano?
114
00:08:49,330 --> 00:08:51,840
Now, these old greaseballs
might not look it...
115
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,210
but believe me...
116
00:08:53,250 --> 00:08:55,800
these are the guys
who secretly control Las Vegas.
117
00:08:56,050 --> 00:08:58,010
Mama, that man's here again.
118
00:08:58,050 --> 00:09:00,470
Because they control
the Teamsters Union.
119
00:09:00,510 --> 00:09:03,390
And that's where you had to go if you
wanted to borrow money to buy a casino.
120
00:09:03,470 --> 00:09:05,640
- Would you put in shrimp?
- I would.
121
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:06,390
Here you are, gentlemen.
122
00:09:06,430 --> 00:09:09,640
Nobody got a Teamsters' loan
unless the guys in this room...
123
00:09:09,690 --> 00:09:12,310
knew they were gonna get
their little suitcases.
124
00:09:13,730 --> 00:09:16,690
Guys like this antique over here,
out of Detroit.
125
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,570
Or especially guys like Remo Gaggi,
the outfit's top boss.
126
00:09:21,660 --> 00:09:23,410
You got a round figure on it?
127
00:09:23,450 --> 00:09:26,450
Definitely the most important guy
in this room. - About 20 pounds.
128
00:09:26,540 --> 00:09:29,830
- That's around 700,000.
- Uh-huh, good.
129
00:09:29,870 --> 00:09:32,040
Man: I know it's
a little early for Las Vegas...
130
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,460
( LAUGHTER )
131
00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:37,260
But I do want to welcome the ladies
and gentlemen of the gaming industry.
132
00:09:37,420 --> 00:09:39,300
Ace: As far as the world
was concerned...
133
00:09:39,420 --> 00:09:42,050
Andy Stone, the head of
the Teamsters' Pension Fund...
134
00:09:42,140 --> 00:09:45,100
- was a legitimate guy.
- This is a very auspicious occasion.
135
00:09:45,260 --> 00:09:47,140
- A powerful man.
- Philip, if you would rise.
136
00:09:47,220 --> 00:09:49,140
He even played golf
with the president.
137
00:09:49,230 --> 00:09:51,560
On behalf of the Teamsters'
Pension Fund...
138
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,110
- it is my pleasure to present to you...
- But Andy also took orders.
139
00:09:54,190 --> 00:09:57,190
And when he was told to give
a pension fund loan to Philip Green...
140
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,200
this check for $62,700,000...
141
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,740
for the new Tangiers.
142
00:10:02,860 --> 00:10:04,870
He did what he was told.
143
00:10:04,910 --> 00:10:06,870
Nicky: Now, here was
the perfect front man.
144
00:10:06,910 --> 00:10:08,950
What the fuck else could he be?
He didn't know too much.
145
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,750
He didn't want to know
too much...
146
00:10:10,830 --> 00:10:13,630
especially that the bosses made
the Teamsters lend him the money.
147
00:10:13,670 --> 00:10:15,380
He wanted to believe
the Teamsters...
148
00:10:15,500 --> 00:10:18,000
gave him all that fuckin' money
'cause he was smart.
149
00:10:18,090 --> 00:10:20,650
I know full well how much competition
we have in this great city.
150
00:10:24,430 --> 00:10:26,390
And where they got Green from?
151
00:10:26,430 --> 00:10:28,180
Who the fuck knows?
152
00:10:28,260 --> 00:10:30,700
All I know is that Green was
an Arizona real estate hustler...
153
00:10:30,770 --> 00:10:32,730
who barely had
enough gas money...
154
00:10:32,770 --> 00:10:35,020
to come and pick up
his own fuckin' check.
155
00:10:35,110 --> 00:10:37,070
And of course it was
the bosses' man...
156
00:10:37,110 --> 00:10:39,070
Andy Stone,
who gave all the orders.
157
00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:41,530
Not the chairman
of the fuckin' board, Philip Green.
158
00:10:41,570 --> 00:10:43,780
I understand. I understand.
159
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,080
Now all they needed was...
160
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,160
somebody they could trust
to run the casino.
161
00:10:51,250 --> 00:10:54,620
And who better than Ace? I mean, he was
already in Vegas a couple years...
162
00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:56,710
and he had
the fuckin' place clocked.
163
00:10:56,750 --> 00:10:59,380
But typical Ace, give him a shot
at runnin' a casino...
164
00:10:59,420 --> 00:11:01,840
and he tries
to talk you out of it.
165
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,260
I don't know if I could do this
even if I wanted to.
166
00:11:04,300 --> 00:11:06,010
The Gaming Commission
would never give me a license.
167
00:11:06,090 --> 00:11:08,560
I have at least two dozen
gambling and bookmaking pinches on me.
168
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,310
You don't have to have a license
to work in a casino.
169
00:11:12,350 --> 00:11:14,440
All you gotta do
is apply for one.
170
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,810
The state law says that
you can work in a casino...
171
00:11:16,900 --> 00:11:18,980
while they're processing
your application.
172
00:11:19,070 --> 00:11:20,980
They got a ten-year backlog.
173
00:11:21,070 --> 00:11:22,990
What happens when
they do find out?
174
00:11:23,070 --> 00:11:25,030
Why would they want to find out?
175
00:11:25,110 --> 00:11:28,030
We're puttin' a hundred million into this
desert. Why would they want to lock us out?
176
00:11:28,070 --> 00:11:31,950
They'll never find out. All you gotta do
is keep changing your job title.
177
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,580
Like, uh, from Casino Executive
to Food and Beverage Chairman.
178
00:11:36,670 --> 00:11:39,840
They take your application,
they put it at the bottom of the pile.
179
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,090
I know guys been workin' there
for 30 years, don't have a license.
180
00:11:45,090 --> 00:11:47,590
It's a tough proposition, Andy.
181
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,550
You know if I did it,
I'd have to run it my way.
182
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,430
You got it.
183
00:11:51,470 --> 00:11:53,980
I'm serious, no interference.
184
00:11:54,020 --> 00:11:56,390
Nobody's gonna interfere
with your running the casino.
185
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,730
I guarantee it.
186
00:12:01,020 --> 00:12:03,320
Nicky: And that's how
they got Ace to take over.
187
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:08,200
They wanted him because Ace ate,
slept and breathed gambling.
188
00:12:10,870 --> 00:12:13,330
They worked out
a real cute job title too...
189
00:12:13,370 --> 00:12:16,330
Tangiers Public Relations Director.
190
00:12:16,370 --> 00:12:19,879
But the only thing he ever
directed was the casino.
191
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,250
He made his first bet when he was
15 years old, and he always made money.
192
00:12:23,380 --> 00:12:25,840
But he didn't bet
like you or me.
193
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,680
You know, havin' some fun
with it, shit like that.
194
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,760
Where the hell
did you learn how to deal?
195
00:12:30,850 --> 00:12:33,600
He bet like a fuckin'
brain surgeon.
196
00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:35,850
Place the checks properly.
197
00:12:35,890 --> 00:12:37,810
- That's the way you do it.
- Yes, sir.
198
00:12:37,890 --> 00:12:39,650
He had to know everything,
this guy.
199
00:12:39,690 --> 00:12:41,860
He'd find out the kind
of inside stuff nobody else knew...
200
00:12:41,940 --> 00:12:44,650
and that's what he'd put
his money on.
201
00:12:44,690 --> 00:12:47,610
Even back home, years ago...
202
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:49,610
when we were first hangin' out...
203
00:12:49,740 --> 00:12:52,280
he'd know if the quarterback
was on coke...
204
00:12:52,370 --> 00:12:54,159
I'll take Columbia for 20.
205
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,290
- If his girlfriend was knocked up.
- Twenty dimes on Columbia.
206
00:12:56,370 --> 00:12:59,750
He'd get the wind velocity
so he could judge the field goals.
207
00:12:59,790 --> 00:13:01,670
He even figured out
the different bounce...
208
00:13:01,750 --> 00:13:03,670
you got off the different kinds
of wood they used...
209
00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:05,670
on college basketball courts,
you know?
210
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,670
He'd be workin'
on this shit day and night.
211
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,970
There was nothing about a game
he was gonna bet that he didn't know.
212
00:13:10,050 --> 00:13:12,510
Ace got down at six.
Get me down at six.
213
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,270
Season after season...
214
00:13:15,350 --> 00:13:17,930
the prick was the only
guaranteed winner I ever knew.
215
00:13:18,060 --> 00:13:19,940
But he was so serious
about it all...
216
00:13:20,060 --> 00:13:22,400
that I don't think
he ever enjoyed himself.
217
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,520
But that's just the way he was.
218
00:13:24,570 --> 00:13:27,360
But back then, the bosses
didn't give a fuck...
219
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,450
about whether
he enjoyed himself or not.
220
00:13:29,530 --> 00:13:32,450
To them, he was a cash register.
221
00:13:32,530 --> 00:13:35,239
All they had to do was
ring the bell and take money.
222
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,040
Especially Remo...
223
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,460
who was a fuckin' degenerate
gambler who always lost...
224
00:13:39,580 --> 00:13:41,500
Cazzo! ( MUMBLES IN ITALIAN )
225
00:13:41,580 --> 00:13:44,130
All those fuckin' sweeps.
226
00:13:44,210 --> 00:13:47,130
- Unless Ace made his bets.
- Enough now!
227
00:13:47,210 --> 00:13:49,220
Ace made more money
for them on a weekend...
228
00:13:49,300 --> 00:13:52,430
than I could do heisting
joints for a month.
229
00:13:52,510 --> 00:13:54,890
Whatever Ace picked up
on the street, he told Remo.
230
00:13:56,510 --> 00:13:58,730
I mean, fixed fights,
doped horses...
231
00:13:58,810 --> 00:14:02,100
crooked fuckin' zebras,
locked-in point spreads.
232
00:14:02,190 --> 00:14:04,110
He told fuckin' Remo everything.
233
00:14:04,190 --> 00:14:07,360
And to tell you the truth,
I don't blame him.
234
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,490
- Hey!
- Keepin' Remo happy with money...
235
00:14:09,610 --> 00:14:11,820
was the greatest insurance
policy in the world.
236
00:14:12,950 --> 00:14:14,910
Son of a bitch!
237
00:14:14,950 --> 00:14:16,910
How the hell did you get
Oklahoma-Michigan?
238
00:14:16,950 --> 00:14:19,290
Nobody ever had Oklahoma-Mi...
How the hell'd you do it?
239
00:14:19,370 --> 00:14:21,330
Well, that's why
they paid so well.
240
00:14:21,370 --> 00:14:23,420
You see? Never tells me nothin'.
241
00:14:23,540 --> 00:14:25,670
What do we got on for next week?
242
00:14:25,750 --> 00:14:29,760
Well, it's a little too early. I'd say
Thursday would be good. Is that all right?
243
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,680
- Okay, you'll come by the house?
- I'll come by.
244
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,760
7:00. Good job, my boy.
Keep it up? Okay, Ace?
245
00:14:38,220 --> 00:14:40,100
Hey, Nick. Vien acca.
246
00:14:40,230 --> 00:14:42,440
- I'll be right out.
- T'aggia parla.
247
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,560
Nicky, see that guy?
Keep a good eye on him.
248
00:14:45,610 --> 00:14:47,570
He's makin'
a lot of money for us.
249
00:14:47,610 --> 00:14:50,860
And he's gonna continue makin' a lot of
money for us, so keep a good eye on him.
250
00:14:50,940 --> 00:14:53,610
Not like your fuckin' friends
out there that... without brains.
251
00:14:53,700 --> 00:14:55,950
- Okay?
- All right.
252
00:14:56,070 --> 00:14:57,990
- Mi raccomando.
- Yeah. Want me to take this for you?
253
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,290
Nicky: So now,
on top of everything else...
254
00:15:00,330 --> 00:15:02,790
I gotta make sure nobody fucks around
with the golden Jew.
255
00:15:02,870 --> 00:15:05,380
Chase, couple of shooters
for the ladies.
256
00:15:06,460 --> 00:15:08,880
Ace: Yeah, we made a great pair.
257
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,510
I made book and Nicky made sure
we always collected.
258
00:15:12,590 --> 00:15:14,800
The old men loved us,
and why not?
259
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,890
- They all made money with us.
- They payin'?
260
00:15:16,970 --> 00:15:19,260
How did Nicky collect? - They pay
every week, like they're supposed to.
261
00:15:19,310 --> 00:15:22,071
Don't ask. - And where the fuck is
the money? I don't see any money.
262
00:15:22,810 --> 00:15:25,150
- Hi, Melissa, Heidi.
- Hi, Sam.
263
00:15:25,230 --> 00:15:27,980
Who's this guy?
264
00:15:28,020 --> 00:15:31,030
Get the fuck out of here. It was
nine. I laid nine. - It was eight.
265
00:15:31,110 --> 00:15:33,150
Ace, tell him the line
on the Bear game.
266
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,320
- Eight.
- If he don't know, nobody knows.
267
00:15:36,410 --> 00:15:38,320
- Told you it was eight.
- How come I laid nine?
268
00:15:38,410 --> 00:15:40,410
'Cause you're a jag-off.
269
00:15:40,490 --> 00:15:42,410
- Excuse me.
- What?
270
00:15:42,450 --> 00:15:46,000
- Is this yours? Your pen?
- Yeah, that's my pen. Why?
271
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,000
No, it's a nice pen.
I just didn't know whose it was.
272
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,000
I thought it was yours.
I didn't want it to get lost.
273
00:15:50,090 --> 00:15:52,510
Well, thank you.
Why don't you take that fuckin' pen...
274
00:15:52,590 --> 00:15:55,180
and shove it up your ass,
you fuckin' jag-off.
275
00:15:57,140 --> 00:15:59,100
- Well, I was just offering you the...
- This fuckin' assho...
276
00:15:59,140 --> 00:16:01,060

What's that?
You hear a little girl, Frankie?
280
00:16:24,500 --> 00:16:27,040
Hear a little girl, Ace?
Ls that a little fuckin' girl?
281
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,040
What happened
to the fuckin' tough guy...
282
00:16:29,130 --> 00:16:31,250
told my friend to stick it up
his fuckin' ass? -( MOANS )
283
00:16:31,340 --> 00:16:34,260
- Nicky, take it easy. Nicky, Nicky.
- ( MOANS )
284
00:16:41,260 --> 00:16:44,180
Ace: While I was trying
to figure out why the guy was saying...
285
00:16:44,220 --> 00:16:47,020
what he was saying,
Nicky just hit him.
286
00:16:47,060 --> 00:16:50,520
No matter how big a guy might be,
Nicky would take him on.
287
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,940
You beat Nicky with fists,
he comes back with a bat.
288
00:16:53,020 --> 00:16:56,490
You beat him with a knife,
he comes back with a gun.
289
00:16:56,570 --> 00:16:59,070
And if you beat him with a gun,
you better kill him...
290
00:16:59,110 --> 00:17:01,910
because he'll keep coming
back and back...
291
00:17:01,950 --> 00:17:04,410
until one of you is dead.
292
00:17:13,670 --> 00:17:16,050
Nicky: Listen,
with me protectin' Ace...
293
00:17:16,090 --> 00:17:18,880
he made a fortune
for the bosses.
294
00:17:18,930 --> 00:17:22,260
I mean, that's
what got him to Vegas.
295
00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:25,220
He was a money machine.
296
00:17:25,270 --> 00:17:27,980
A tremendous earner
for these guys.
297
00:17:28,100 --> 00:17:31,020
As soon as he took over,
he doubled the fuckin' drop.
298
00:17:32,310 --> 00:17:34,940
With Ace, the casino
never saw so much money.
299
00:17:34,980 --> 00:17:37,939
And the bosses,
they couldn't be happier.

a few juiced-in local cowboys working.
305
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,800
They were close to the,
you know, good old boys.
306
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:05,220
I mean, without us, these guys,
they'd still be shoveling mule shit.
307

Ward, you've got to keep

Won't happen again, Sam.

Won't happen again, Mr. Rothstein.

00:18:15,150 --> 00:18:18,150
Ls this guy just another dumb fucking
white man, or what? What's the story?
312
00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:20,650
- You need this guy.
- Can't get rid of him?
313
00:18:20,740 --> 00:18:23,240
He's juiced in.
He's the County Commissioner's cousin.
314
00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:25,330
I wouldn't give the bum
a mop job.
315
00:18:25,370 --> 00:18:27,950
But still, I had no choice.
I had to take care of them.
316
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,000
These yokels ran the state.
317
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,660
Thank you very much, Senator.
318
00:18:31,710 --> 00:18:34,830
They passed the laws, they owned the
courts. - Hi, Ace. Hey, I need a room.
319
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,601
I had dozens of politicians and
state officials... - The Cedar Room.
320
00:18:37,630 --> 00:18:39,589
Coming through that place
every week.
321
00:18:39,590 --> 00:18:41,550
Help the Senator, get him
whatever he wants. - Certainly.
322
00:18:41,590 --> 00:18:43,970
Why not make him happy?
323
00:18:44,050 --> 00:18:46,680
The Presidential Suite.
324
00:18:55,610 --> 00:18:59,190
For politicians like our State Senator
up there, everything was on the house.
325
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,070
These guys won their comp life
when they got elected...
326
00:19:02,150 --> 00:19:05,490
so, hey, why not
take advantage of it.
327
00:19:05,570 --> 00:19:09,040
Still, the politicians came cheap.
We could handle them.
328
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,540
It's a whale
like K.K. Ichikawa...
329
00:19:11,620 --> 00:19:14,460
who plays $30,000 a hand
in baccarat...
330
00:19:14,580 --> 00:19:16,630
that's the one
you really gotta watch.
331
00:19:16,710 --> 00:19:20,000
He plays fast and big
and he has the cash and the credit...
332
00:19:20,090 --> 00:19:22,010
to turn out your lights.
333
00:19:22,090 --> 00:19:26,010
About a year ago he cleaned out a couple
of casinos in the Cayman islands.
334
00:19:26,090 --> 00:19:28,140
Downstairs he takes us
for two million...
335
00:19:28,260 --> 00:19:32,430
and upstairs he takes free
soap, shampoo and towels.
336
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,150
Another billionaire cheapskate
who loved his free rooms...
337
00:19:35,190 --> 00:19:39,270
free private jets and
two million of our money.
338
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,780
But we got him back.
339
00:19:41,820 --> 00:19:44,320
I had our pilot tell him
the plane was on the fritz.
340
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,570
I don't know what the hell went wrong.
I'm awfully sorry.
341
00:19:46,610 --> 00:19:49,830
I can't understand it. These mechanical
things, you know they happen.
342
00:19:49,870 --> 00:19:52,410
Hey, but better here than
up there, you know what I mean.
343
00:19:52,500 --> 00:19:55,080
Then he missed the commercial
flights connecting with Japan.
344
00:19:55,170 --> 00:19:57,490
I can't believe that there's
a convention; There's no room.
345
00:20:03,260 --> 00:20:05,680
We got him back with a whole floor
of rooms to himself.
346
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,720
- I'm sorry you missed your plane.
- Glad to get to know you.
347
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,060
Oh, no. No gambling.
348
00:20:13,730 --> 00:20:16,690
And once he was back,
he played small.
349
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:22,820
He bet 1,000 a hand,
instead of his usual 30,000 a hand.
350
00:20:22,900 --> 00:20:25,860
To the bank
with a natural lead over a five.
351
00:20:25,900 --> 00:20:29,070
But I knew the trick
with whales like lchikawa...
352
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:32,120
was that they can't bet
small for long.
353
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,080
He didn't think of it
as winning 10,000...
354
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,420
he thought of it
as losing 90,000.
355
00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:40,460
So, he upped his bets.
356
00:20:43,710 --> 00:20:47,630
Until he dropped his winnings back
and gave up a million of his own cash.
357
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,930
In the casino, the cardinal rule
is to keep them playing...
358
00:20:53,010 --> 00:20:55,140
and keep them coming back.
359
00:20:55,230 --> 00:20:57,560
The longer they play,
the more they lose.
360
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,940

426
00:25:21,490 --> 00:25:23,830

Pit bosses, floor managers...
447
00:26:26,140 --> 00:26:28,100
but, mostly, she took care
of the valet parkers...
448
00:26:28,180 --> 00:26:31,640
the guys who could get you anything
and take care of anything.
449
00:26:31,730 --> 00:26:33,440
Ginger took care of the parkers...
450
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,650
because they took care
of the security guards...
451
00:26:35,730 --> 00:26:39,320
who took care of the metro cops, who let
her operate. - I need that stuff tonight.
452
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,700
- No problem.
- You are a doll.
453
00:26:42,860 --> 00:26:44,701
The valet parking job
was such a money-maker...
454
00:26:44,870 --> 00:26:48,450
they had to pay off the hotel manager
just to get the concession.
455
00:26:48,540 --> 00:26:51,210
But one thing
I just could never understand...
456
00:26:51,290 --> 00:26:53,710
was that she could have
everything under control...
457
00:26:53,790 --> 00:26:56,880
except for her old pimp
boyfriend, Lester Diamond.
458
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,010
Gin, you know I got other people
in this, they got partners.
459
00:27:01,130 --> 00:27:03,180
I want you to understand
that I am looking out for you...
460
00:27:03,220 --> 00:27:05,180
in this thing, okay?
461
00:27:05,220 --> 00:27:08,560
You're gonna get yours back,
and you're gonna get back first, okay?
462
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,940
- All right, yeah.
- Where you going?
463
00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:14,350
Where are you? You're
in that place. Where are you?
464
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,360
- I'm here.
- No, you're not.
465
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,980

466
00:27:20,070 --> 00:27:22,740
I'm always here for you.
467
00:27:22,780 --> 00:27:25,660
- You're my woman.
- I know.
468
00:27:25,780 --> 00:27:29,700
Ace: The Ginger I knew wouldn't
even look at this creep.
469
00:27:29,790 --> 00:27:31,870
- Good luck.
- Yeah.
470
00:27:31,910 --> 00:27:33,870
He was a moocher,
a card cheat...
471
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,630
a country club golf hustler,
a scumbag.
472
00:27:36,710 --> 00:27:39,300
- Chasing dentists for a few bucks.
- Careful.
473
00:27:39,380 --> 00:27:41,760
The guy was always broke.
He always had a story.
474
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,380
And somehow she could never
turn him down.
475
00:27:44,470 --> 00:27:47,310
The way Ginger saw it, I guess,
was that Lester was just an unlucky guy.
476
00:27:47,350 --> 00:27:49,470
Somebody had
to take care of him.
477
00:27:49,810 --> 00:27:53,600
But nobody
had to take care of Nicky.
478
00:27:53,690 --> 00:27:56,520
If you find any cash in there,
we'll whack it up with you.
479
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,520
I mean, he took care
of himself only too well.
480
00:27:58,610 --> 00:28:02,280
- That's why every badge...
- I folded these things beautifully.
481
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,320
- Back home wanted to nail him.
- I would appreciate a little respect.
482
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,320
- Look at me, pal, I gotta live with her.
- Jesus Christ.

484
00:28:09,410 --> 00:28:11,330

they hassled him at the airport.
485
00:28:11,410 --> 00:28:14,000
I mean, Frank Marino was there
to meet him, but so were the cops.
486
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,250
This time they wanted
to pinch him...
487
00:28:16,290 --> 00:28:18,460
- for some diamond burglary in Antwerp.
- Will you help me fold these?
488
00:28:18,540 --> 00:28:20,710
They were ready to blame him for
anything, no matter where it happened.
489
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,960
- Put your things away.
- And they were usually right.
490
00:28:23,050 --> 00:28:26,680
Hold it, hold it. Here. - Because
Nicky enjoyed being a gangster.
491
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,930
- And he didn't give a damn who knew it.
- Come on, there we go.
492
00:28:28,970 --> 00:28:32,600
Look at this. Beautiful!
493
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,838
I mean, that's what worried me.
'Cause it turns
494
00:28:34,850 --> 00:28:37,060
out, Nicky was about
to be sent to Vegas.
495
00:28:37,150 --> 00:28:40,980
- All right, we're clear.
- There's more.
496
00:28:41,020 --> 00:28:43,190
There's a couple stuck in there.
I know there's more.
497
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,360
- I'm telling you, they're out!
- Come on.
498
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,990
Don't get so defensive,
it could be stuck in your hair.
499
00:28:50,030 --> 00:28:52,200
What's that? Huh, what's that?
500
00:28:52,290 --> 00:28:54,950
There's no more. Thanks, hon.
501
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,920
Nicky: I couldn't wait to get
my hands on Vegas.
502
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,170
But the bosses didn't send me
out there to have a good time.
503
00:29:00,210 --> 00:29:03,710
They sent me out there to make sure
that nobody fucked with Ace.
504
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,720
And nobody interfered
with the fuckin' skim.
505
00:29:08,130 --> 00:29:10,760
- Hey.
- Hey, how you doin'?
506
00:29:10,850 --> 00:29:12,760
Hey, Sammy.
507
00:29:12,850 --> 00:29:16,020
- Boy, look at this place, huh?
- Incredible.
508
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:18,390
Welcome to Vegas.
509
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,519
- Okay, Sammy.
- Something, huh?
510
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,690
Ginger.
511
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,280
Holy shit. What've you
been doing out here?
512
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,120
Honey, come here.
513
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,200
This is Jennifer and Nick,
they're dear friends of mine.
514
00:29:36,290 --> 00:29:39,750
- Hi, Jennifer.
- A pleasure.
515
00:29:39,790 --> 00:29:41,790
Okay, Sammy.
516
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,750
Ace: After we ate,
we left Jennifer and Ginger alone...
517
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,010
and we took a ride to talk.
518
00:29:47,050 --> 00:29:49,050
And then, he hit me with it.
519
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:51,850
What do you think about me
moving out here?
520
00:29:53,430 --> 00:29:55,390
What's the matter?
You got a problem with that?
521
00:29:55,430 --> 00:29:59,560
- No, of course not.
- You mean, I have your permission?
522
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,440
Sure, you have my permission.
But I just gotta tell you...
523
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,440
it's no joke out here,
it's no joke.
524
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,570
You gotta keep a low profile.
525
00:30:06,650 --> 00:30:09,450
It's not like back home. Right off
the bat, they don't like guys like us.
526
00:30:09,530 --> 00:30:11,950
And this sheriff's
a real cowboy.
527
00:30:12,030 --> 00:30:14,950
Even the coppers aren't afraid
to bury people out in the desert here.
528
00:30:15,030 --> 00:30:17,580
I don't care. I wanna get away
from back home for a while.
529
00:30:17,700 --> 00:30:19,620
I'm tired of that shit
back there.
530
00:30:19,710 --> 00:30:21,620
Look at this place.
It's made of money.
531
00:30:21,710 --> 00:30:25,129
You know what the best part is?
Nobody's gonna know what we're doing.
532
00:30:25,130 --> 00:30:28,050
There's nobody here to see us.
Everybody's back home.
533
00:30:28,090 --> 00:30:30,260
Nick, I gotta tell you.
I got pinched twice for no reason.
534
00:30:30,340 --> 00:30:32,260
I really gotta be careful.
535
00:30:32,340 --> 00:30:34,510
I'm running a licensed place,
everything's legit.
536
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,310
Don't worry about it.
I'm not gonna do anything.
537
00:30:37,390 --> 00:30:40,480
I'm especially not gonna
involve you in anything.
538
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,270
Nicky: Ace saw Vegas one way...
539
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,530
You call this guy and tell him I'm comin'?
Of course.
540
00:30:48,610 --> 00:30:51,360
But I saw it another.
541
00:30:51,450 --> 00:30:53,820
I saw it as untouched.
542
00:30:53,910 --> 00:30:55,830
I mean, they had bookies, pimps...
543
00:30:55,910 --> 00:30:57,950
and drug dealers
I could shake down.
544
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,950
Who the fuck
were they gonna run to?
545
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,920
So I started gettin'
everybody in line.
546
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,670
Best of all,
for the first time in my life...
547
00:31:04,790 --> 00:31:07,210
I figured out a way not to lose.
548
00:31:07,340 --> 00:31:09,550
Ace: Yeah, he had
a foolproof scheme, all right.
549
00:31:09,670 --> 00:31:11,630
It wasn't very scientific,
but it worked.
550
00:31:11,670 --> 00:31:13,640
When he won, he collected;
551
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,350
When he lost, he told the bookies
to go fuck themselves.
552
00:31:16,390 --> 00:31:19,810
What were they gonna do,
muscle Nicky?
553
00:31:19,890 --> 00:31:22,390
- Hey, how you doin'?
- How you doin'?
554
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,650
- You got that thing for me?
- What thing?
555
00:31:24,730 --> 00:31:26,820
Oh, Nicky. I thought
you was layin'.
556
00:31:26,900 --> 00:31:29,690
No, no, I'm takin'.
I was takin'.
557
00:31:29,730 --> 00:31:32,740
- You sure?
- I'm positive.
558
00:31:32,900 --> 00:31:35,780
- I'm a little confused.
- You're a little confused?
559
00:31:35,870 --> 00:31:38,330
Maybe if I stick your fuckin'
face through this window...
560
00:31:38,410 --> 00:31:40,370
you'll get unconfused.
561
00:31:40,450 --> 00:31:42,410
- Gimme the fuckin' money.
- I'm sorry, Nick.
562
00:31:42,460 --> 00:31:44,370
I didn't mean anything by it.
563
00:31:44,460 --> 00:31:47,040
That's why you had it ready.
You thought I was fuckin' layin' it?
564
00:31:47,170 --> 00:31:50,760
- My fuckin' head.
- Smarten up.
565
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,840
And now Nicholas Santoro will come up
and tell us about our first president.
566
00:31:58,260 --> 00:32:00,520
George Washington was born...
567
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,440
Ace: But still,
it was nice and quiet for a while.
568
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,020
Ginger and I presented
Nicky and Jennifer all over town...
569
00:32:06,100 --> 00:32:09,440
like regular Ozzie and Harriets.
570
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,440
Beautiful, you got
a beautiful swing.
571
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,110
Nicky: Ace got my son, little Nicky,
involved in Little League.
572
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,910
Turned out to be one
of the other coaches...
573
00:32:16,950 --> 00:32:19,120
was a fuckin'
metro intelligence cop.
574
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,250
But it didn't matter.
It was all about the kids.
575
00:32:22,290 --> 00:32:23,620
He's gotta realize that everything
can't be a home run that he does.
576
00:32:23,660 --> 00:32:26,710
That's exactly what
I keep tellin' him...
577
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,290
but that's the kind of kid he is.
578
00:32:30,210 --> 00:32:32,491
Ace: And Nicky being Nicky,
he made his presence known.
579
00:32:32,510 --> 00:32:36,010
Especially at the casino,
where he definitely did not work...
580
00:32:36,090 --> 00:32:38,430
people got the message.
581
00:32:38,470 --> 00:32:40,430
Nicky: Me, that's why
the bosses sent me out here.
582
00:32:40,470 --> 00:32:43,060
They wanted me to make sure none
of the other crews robbed the joint.
583
00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:45,690
Like these two fuckin'
balloon heads over here.
584

They were gonna try to bang us
out of 200 fuckin' grand...
585
00:32:48,610 --> 00:32:50,520
- yeah, right, I'm sure.
- Hey! How are you?
586
00:32:50,610 --> 00:32:52,530
How are you?
What are you doing here?
587
00:32:52,610 --> 00:32:54,650
I'm over here now.
588
00:32:54,740 --> 00:32:57,160
- You're over here?
- Yeah, I'm over here with them.
589
00:33:00,330 --> 00:33:02,580
We're waiting on Carmine.
590
00:33:02,660 --> 00:33:04,580
Yeah, we're looking for Carmine.
591
00:33:04,660 --> 00:33:08,250
He was here before. He had
a suitcase and then he left.
592
00:33:08,330 --> 00:33:12,590
- Carmine left?
- Carmine left?
593
00:33:12,670 --> 00:33:14,590
He's gone?
594

He's not here?

00:33:19,180 --> 00:33:21,140
Carmine's out?
596
00:33:21,180 --> 00:33:23,390
I think maybe he went
across the street...
597
00:33:23,470 --> 00:33:25,680
or somewhere else or somethin'.
598
00:33:28,190 --> 00:33:31,440
Well, listen, good luck
with the joint.
599
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,530
- Ah, thanks, Eddie.
- Yeah, lots of luck.
600
00:33:33,570 --> 00:33:36,740
- Yeah, good luck to you too.
- Hey, they forgot to sign their papers.
601
00:33:36,820 --> 00:33:40,240
Yeah, they don't
need those anymore.

got away with a warning.

Even after we'd catch them,
they'd try sneaking back...

and wigs and fake noses.

Okay.

Hiya. That's a lot of money
to be counting out in public.

I mean... I can grow.
718
00:40:37,700 --> 00:40:41,910
As long as there's a mutual respect,
that kind of thing can grow.

I can accept that.

What is love anyway?

It's a mutual respect.
It's a devotion.

It's a caring
from one person to another.

And if we could set up
some kind of foundation...
724

based on that mutual respect...
725

I feel eventually you
would care enough about me...
726
00:41:03,350 --> 00:41:05,770
that I could live with that.

covered his bets.

00:46:45,780 --> 00:46:48,700
So wonderful. The jewelry's
not so bad either.
828
00:46:48,780 --> 00:46:52,570
We shouldn't keep this in the house.
We gotta put it in the bank.
829
00:46:52,660 --> 00:46:55,580
Come on. Can I keep this one
in the house?
830
00:46:55,660 --> 00:46:58,580
Pay attention to me.
831
00:46:58,660 --> 00:47:01,670
What I'm gonna tell you is very important.
Okay.
832
00:47:01,710 --> 00:47:03,790
All this stuff
doesn't mean anything.
833
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,460
Money, this doesn't mean
anything without trust.
834
00:47:06,550 --> 00:47:09,050
I have to be able
to trust you with my life.
835
00:47:19,230 --> 00:47:21,980
Ace: With over a million
in cash and jewels...
836
00:47:22,020 --> 00:47:25,610
tucked in a bank in Vegas, only
for Ginger, she was secure and happy.
837
00:47:25,690 --> 00:47:27,610
She loved that shit.
838
00:47:27,690 --> 00:47:32,030
But a guy in my line of work has
to have a lot of payoff cash around.
839
00:47:32,070 --> 00:47:34,450
Crooked cops and kidnappers,
they don't take checks.
840
00:47:34,530 --> 00:47:37,080
Need any help with that,
Mr. Collins?
841
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,660
So I put two million in cash
in a Los Angeles bank...
842
00:47:39,750 --> 00:47:42,420
under the name
of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Collins.
843
00:47:42,500 --> 00:47:45,380
This was strictly my shakedown
and kidnapping money.
844
00:47:48,250 --> 00:47:50,260
( GINGER LAUGHS )
845
00:47:50,380 --> 00:47:52,680
And since I'd either be in jail
or locked in a closet...
846
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,140
when I needed the money
the most...
847
00:47:55,260 --> 00:48:00,350
I gave Ginger the only key to the cash
that could get me back alive.
848
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,100

This is a signature card.
853

So once she signs those papers,
she'll be the only person...
854
00:48:17,990 --> 00:48:21,620
to have total access to the box,
no one else, including myself?
855
00:48:21,660 --> 00:48:24,670
That's right.
That's the way you wanted it.
856
00:48:24,710 --> 00:48:27,710
Banker:
Sam, let me ask you a question.
857
00:48:27,790 --> 00:48:30,000
You must really trust your wife.
858
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,840

Ace: With Ginger and the money
in place, I felt covered.
865
00:49:00,450 --> 00:49:02,330
And to play it safe,
I switched job titles again...
866
00:49:02,370 --> 00:49:04,580
and made myself
Food and Beverage Director.
867
00:49:04,710 --> 00:49:07,790
This way nobody would bother me
about a license.
868
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,750
I mean Vegas was
like a dream for me.
869
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:12,800
Trouble was, Nicky was dreaming
his own kind of Vegas.
870
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:16,800
Nicky: I put money out on the street
chargin' three points a week.
871
00:49:16,890 --> 00:49:18,850
- Don't make us come lookin' for you.
- Juice to the fuckin' dealers.
872
00:49:18,890 --> 00:49:20,850
You won't have to look for me.
873
00:49:20,890 --> 00:49:22,850
I appreciate it. Thanks, Nicky.
874
00:49:22,890 --> 00:49:25,520
They were degenerate gamblers,
coke freaks.
875
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:29,400
In no time I had half the dealers
in the Tangiers in my pocket.
876
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:33,690
Then, I started bustin' out
high-stakes poker players.
877
00:49:34,030 --> 00:49:35,990
Ace: It was so obvious.
878
00:49:36,030 --> 00:49:40,740
All of Nicky's half-assed mechanics were
signal-happy. - I'm gonna open for 500.
879
00:49:40,780 --> 00:49:43,580
Ace: Signaling back and forth.
880
00:49:43,620 --> 00:49:46,710
Poker Player: Why you cryin'
with two loaves of bread under your arm?
881
00:49:46,750 --> 00:49:49,250
Nicky thought nobody was watching him.
But he was wrong.
882
00:49:49,290 --> 00:49:52,420
And I didn't want
any of those agents near my place.
883
00:49:52,460 --> 00:49:56,090
- Four aces.
- I can't believe this.
884
00:49:56,130 --> 00:49:59,590
Poker Player: If I didn't have
bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck.
885
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:03,310
I wished to God Nicky and
his whole crew would just get lost.
886
00:50:03,390 --> 00:50:06,270
What am I gonna do?
Go back home and start a war?
887
00:50:06,310 --> 00:50:09,060
Nicky's a made guy, and I'm not.
I can't do that.
888
00:50:09,100 --> 00:50:11,150
Be careful. Gaming agents
are all over the place.
889
00:50:11,230 --> 00:50:13,610
So I'm lucky. I'm not allowed
to get lucky in this place?
890
00:50:13,650 --> 00:50:16,780
You've been lucky all week.
They're looking to nail you.
891
00:50:16,820 --> 00:50:20,620
Nicky: Ace was so fuckin' worried
about his casino...
892
00:50:20,700 --> 00:50:24,120
he forgot what we were doin'
out here in the first place.
893
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,280
A million times I wanted to yell
in his fuckin' ear...
894
00:50:26,290 --> 00:50:28,750
"This is Las Vegas."
895
00:50:28,790 --> 00:50:30,630

out here robbin'...

00:50:30,710 --> 00:50:33,250

897
00:50:37,380 --> 00:50:39,300
I don't give a shit
who he's connected to.
898
00:50:39,380 --> 00:50:41,680
Tell him to take
his fuckin' feet off the table.
899
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:43,810
What's he think this is,
a goddamned sawdust joint?
900
00:50:44,930 --> 00:50:49,020
Sir, would you mind
taking your feet off the table?
901
00:50:49,100 --> 00:50:52,020
Yeah, I would mind.
I'm having a bad night.

- Good. How are you?

the table and put your shoes back on.

I want you to exit this guy
off the premises...
908
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,340
and use his head
to open the fucking door.
909
00:51:18,420 --> 00:51:22,260
Sir, you're gonna have to leave.
Wanna come with us outside?
910
00:51:22,300 --> 00:51:25,180
Bullshit. I ain't goin'
anywhere with you.
911
00:51:25,260 --> 00:51:27,520
- Bullshit. You're outta here.
- Fuck you!
912
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,890
You know who you're
fucking with? Do you?
913
00:51:30,980 --> 00:51:33,940
You fucking faggot! Do you know
who you're fucking with?
914
00:51:33,980 --> 00:51:36,480
Leave me alone! ( GRUNTING )
915
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,110
- Come on!
- You guys are killing me!
916
00:51:39,190 --> 00:51:41,490
Sure enough, an hour later,
I get the call.
917
00:51:41,530 --> 00:51:45,450
Ace, what happened over there?
Did you know that guy was with me?
918
00:51:45,490 --> 00:51:47,660
No, I didn't know that.
But you know what he did?
919
00:51:47,700 --> 00:51:50,960
I walked over to him politely,
and he tells me to fuck myself.
920
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,830
- Then he called me a faggot.
- What?
921
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,210
- I threw that cocksucker out.
- Hey, come here.
922
00:51:56,340 --> 00:51:59,050
You called my friend a faggot?
You tell him to fuck himself?
923
00:51:59,170 --> 00:52:02,380
Is that what you did? Tell him
to go fuck himself? -( GRUNTING )
924
00:52:02,550 --> 00:52:06,220
( GRUNTING CONTINUES )
Come here. Come here.
925
00:52:06,390 --> 00:52:08,720
You go over there.
You apologize.
926
00:52:08,850 --> 00:52:10,930

he lets you back in.

I'll smash your head so hard...

00:52:17,190 --> 00:52:19,570
Fuckin' hick. Sammy, listen.
930
00:52:19,690 --> 00:52:22,700
This guy obviously doesn't know
who he was talking to.
931
00:52:22,780 --> 00:52:25,280
He doesn't know that
we're dear friends.
932
00:52:25,410 --> 00:52:27,530
I mean, he's already very sorry.
933
00:52:27,660 --> 00:52:30,410
But if you could do me a favor
and let him back in...
934
00:52:30,450 --> 00:52:32,790
I swear he'll never
get out of line again.
935
00:52:32,870 --> 00:52:35,210
If he does it again,
he's out for good.
936
00:52:35,290 --> 00:52:37,880
I don't care what it is,
I'll never let him in the place again.

So why not take advantage, right?

So, he took bookie joints
off the street...

inside the casino.

00:54:54,180 --> 00:54:57,560
If they put you in that book,
you're gonna be in trouble.
988
00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:59,890
You will not be able
to walk into a casino.
989
00:54:59,980 --> 00:55:02,520
I'm trying to make a living,
that's all.
990
00:55:02,610 --> 00:55:05,400
I'm just tellin' you.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
991
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,400
All right.
992
00:55:11,610 --> 00:55:14,950
Man: Mrs. Rothstein,
straight ahead. Very nice.
993
00:55:14,990 --> 00:55:17,250
Thank you.
994
00:55:17,290 --> 00:55:19,750
( CHATTERING )
995
00:55:19,790 --> 00:55:22,289
Man: For his hard work
and dedication...
996
00:55:22,290 --> 00:55:25,500
and the new life blood
he has instilled in Las Vegas...
997
00:55:25,630 --> 00:55:28,340
Sam has established himself
as an indispensable member...
998
00:55:28,420 --> 00:55:30,930
of the gaming community.
999
00:55:30,970 --> 00:55:33,260
As the head of the
Tangiers Gaming Corporation...
1000
00:55:33,340 --> 00:55:35,810
it's my pleasure
to welcome Sam Rothstein...
1001
00:55:35,890 --> 00:55:38,060
to the Vegas Valley
Country Club.
1002
00:55:38,100 --> 00:55:40,600
( APPLAUSE )
1003
00:55:43,310 --> 00:55:47,190
Ace: Back home, they would've put me
in jail for what I'm doing.
1004
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:50,530
But out here,
they're giving me awards.
1005
00:55:50,610 --> 00:55:54,990
It is with great pleasure that I accept
this certificate of appreciation...
1006
00:55:55,030 --> 00:55:57,580
for charitable donations
to greater Las Vegas.
1007
00:55:57,620 --> 00:55:59,870
Congratulations, sweetheart.
1008
00:55:59,950 --> 00:56:03,330
Sam raised more than
we've ever raised before.
1009
00:56:03,420 --> 00:56:07,880
But my greatest pleasure was watching
my wife, Ginger, work the room.
1010
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:11,510
( CHATTERING )- They all loved
her. How could you not love her?
1011
00:56:11,630 --> 00:56:14,180
She could be the most
charming woman you ever saw.
1012
00:56:14,220 --> 00:56:16,220
People loved to be around her.
1013
00:56:16,390 --> 00:56:19,220
You've got to bring Amy
to Sasha's birthday party.
1014
00:56:19,390 --> 00:56:21,940
We'd love to have you there.
1015
00:56:22,020 --> 00:56:23,980
- Yes, okay.
- Great.
1016
00:56:24,060 --> 00:56:26,520
She made everybody feel good.
1017
00:56:26,610 --> 00:56:30,940
♪ That's Stella by starlight ♪.
1018
00:56:31,070 --> 00:56:33,150
Congratulations, Sam.
1019
00:56:33,240 --> 00:56:35,200
Oh, thanks.
1020
00:56:35,240 --> 00:56:37,530
- Hello, Mrs. Rothstein. How are you?
- Hi.
1021
00:56:39,950 --> 00:56:42,790
You're one of the most
gorgeous women I've ever seen.
1022
00:56:42,870 --> 00:56:45,540
You're a lucky man,
Mr. Rothstein.
1023
00:56:47,670 --> 00:56:49,880
Thank you.
Thanks for that compliment.
1024
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,300
He was a young kid
from the casino.
1025
00:56:52,340 --> 00:56:54,590
Nice kid. Bright boy.
1026
00:56:54,630 --> 00:56:57,970
What balls on this fuckin' kid!
The next day I fired him.
1027
00:56:58,050 --> 00:57:02,930
Ginger had that effect on people.
I think she even encouraged them.
1028
00:57:03,060 --> 00:57:06,650
Do you wanna see this one?
Ahhhh!
1029
00:57:06,730 --> 00:57:10,939
Daddy gave me all this jewelry
because he loves me so much.
1030
00:57:10,940 --> 00:57:13,780
- But as much as they loved her...
- Oh, fabulous!
1031
00:57:13,860 --> 00:57:16,280
They didn't know
what really moved her.
1032
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:20,240
Look at this. Look at this.
Daddy gave me this...
1033
00:57:20,290 --> 00:57:24,830
And with Ginger happy, I was able
to concentrate on what I knew best.
1034
00:57:24,910 --> 00:57:27,380
Loose machines are
right back over there.
1035
00:57:27,460 --> 00:57:30,500
What are they doin' back there?
You can't even see 'em there.
1036
00:57:30,630 --> 00:57:34,130
Okay, I'll... - What about the
progressives with the high jackpots?
1037
00:57:34,220 --> 00:57:37,760
Well... - These are our best
machines. They bring all the action.
1038
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:39,970
- No wonder the drop is off.
- Yeah, okay.
1039
00:57:40,010 --> 00:57:42,970
The action is in the front. Bring
'em up front. - All right, I will.
1040
00:57:43,020 --> 00:57:46,020
Listen to me very carefully. There are
three ways of doing things around here:
1041
00:57:46,100 --> 00:57:48,860
The right way, the wrong way
and the way that I do it.
1042
00:57:48,940 --> 00:57:52,730
You understand? - I do understand that.
I'll get right on it.
1043
00:57:52,820 --> 00:57:56,320
- And thank you.
- Don't thank me. Just do it.
1044
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,570
You're the slots manager.
I shouldn't have to tell you this.
1045
00:57:59,660 --> 00:58:02,910
Dang, you are right,
Mr. Rothstein. I am so sorry.
1046
00:58:02,990 --> 00:58:06,580
Ace: So I ended up working...
what, 18-hour days.
1047
00:58:06,660 --> 00:58:09,920
Ginger was the one who wound up
enjoying the best of Vegas.
1048
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:13,170
Come with me, please.
I have a better table for you.
1049
00:58:13,250 --> 00:58:15,920
What did you say to that
fucking jerk, anyway?
1050
00:58:16,010 --> 00:58:18,510
I told him I was
Mrs. Sam Rothstein.
1051
00:58:18,550 --> 00:58:21,890
( CHUCKLES ) Well, you might
as well get something out of it.
1052
00:58:24,270 --> 00:58:26,310
Ace: Well, it wasn't long...
1053
00:58:26,350 --> 00:58:28,940
before what I was afraid
was gonna happen happened.
1054
00:58:29,020 --> 00:58:32,940
Nicky managed to get himself banned
from every casino in Las Vegas.
1055
00:58:33,020 --> 00:58:34,973
And from then on, I
couldn't be seen talking
1056
00:58:34,985 --> 00:58:36,950
to him anywhere in
Vegas or near it.
1057
00:58:37,030 --> 00:58:39,990
What the fuck is that
supposed to mean?
1058
00:58:40,030 --> 00:58:43,950
"He will be ejected from
any casino in Las Vegas."
1059
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:48,210
And the casinos can be fined
as much as $100,000...
1060
00:58:48,250 --> 00:58:50,749
"every time he shows up."
1061
00:58:50,750 --> 00:58:54,050
- You believe this shit?
- Yeah, I believe it. You got banned.
1062
00:58:54,130 --> 00:58:57,590
"Because of notorious
and unsavory reputation..."
1063
00:58:57,670 --> 00:59:00,340
Motherfucker!
1064
00:59:00,390 --> 00:59:03,050
Is there any way around this?
1065
00:59:03,140 --> 00:59:05,890
No, there's no way.
1066
00:59:05,930 --> 00:59:09,060
Let's say, for instance...
1067
00:59:09,140 --> 00:59:12,650
I wanna go in a restaurant,
which happens to be in the casino...
1068
00:59:12,730 --> 00:59:14,650
to get one of those
sandwiches I like?
1069
00:59:14,730 --> 00:59:18,400
Forget it. You can't even
set foot in the parking lot.
1070
00:59:18,490 --> 00:59:20,910
That's how serious it is.
1071
00:59:20,990 --> 00:59:24,280
In other words, I'm fucked?
1072
00:59:24,370 --> 00:59:26,750
In so many words, yes.
1073
00:59:26,870 --> 00:59:30,960
It just didn't sink into his head
about the Black Book and what it meant.
1074
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,960
Not being able to go
into a casino is one thing...
1075
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:38,630
but being in this book etched your name
into the brains of every cop and FBI agent.
1076
00:59:38,670 --> 00:59:42,430
I mean, you're listed in there
with Al Capone. But Nicky didn't care.
1077
00:59:42,510 --> 00:59:46,100
I gotta do something.
They ain't gettin' rid of me.
1078
00:59:46,140 --> 00:59:48,890
They're not gettin' rid of me.
I'm stayin' here.
1079
00:59:48,930 --> 00:59:51,390
Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em.
1080
00:59:55,610 --> 00:59:58,230
Nicky:
So, once they pulled that shit...
1081
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:01,450
I started doin' my own things
nobody ever thought of doin'.
1082
01:00:01,490 --> 01:00:03,958
To keep an eye on things,
I brought in my kid
1083
01:00:03,970 --> 01:00:06,450
brother, Dominick, and
some desperados...
1084
01:00:06,490 --> 01:00:09,450
and started knockin' over
high-rollers, casino bosses...
1085
01:00:09,500 --> 01:00:12,290
bookmakers...
anybody right here in town.
1086
01:00:12,330 --> 01:00:15,000
I had a good fuckin' crew goin'
for me, I'll tell you that.
1087
01:00:15,090 --> 01:00:18,799
I had Sal Fusco,
a great second-story guy.
1088
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:23,760
Jack Hardy. He worked for a safe company
before he did a six-year bit.
1089
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:28,600
And then there was Bernie Blue.
This guy can bypass any alarm for me.
1090
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:31,310
It was like old times.
1091
01:00:31,390 --> 01:00:35,940
And I opened up my own jewelry
store too, the "Gold Rush."
1092
01:00:36,020 --> 01:00:39,440
Sometimes I used to go along
on a heist, just for the fun of it.
1093
01:00:39,530 --> 01:00:42,450
But I didn't like the people
I was rippin' off looking at me...
1094
01:00:42,530 --> 01:00:45,280
so I used to turn
their fuckin' pictures around.
1095
01:00:45,370 --> 01:00:48,280
- What's takin' so long?
- This is a motherfucker!
1096
01:00:48,370 --> 01:00:52,580
It's working. - Learn how to open these
things so you don't have to take 'em.
1097
01:00:52,660 --> 01:00:55,500
Some of these stones
got a lot of niggers in them.
1098
01:00:55,540 --> 01:00:59,050
Tell Pepe if he's switching stones on us,
he better take a camel back to Nigeria.
1099
01:00:59,130 --> 01:01:01,420
- ( PHONE RINGS )
- Yeah?
1100
01:01:01,510 --> 01:01:03,760
- They're in Penthouse K.
- Check in alone?
1101
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:05,890
- They checked in alone.
- Are they out now?
1102
01:01:06,010 --> 01:01:08,890
- Yes. Don't worry.
- All right. Thanks.
1103
01:01:08,930 --> 01:01:11,680
Ace: He had tipsters
all over town. Bellmen.
1104
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,440
- But you got to hurry.
- Yeah, okay.
1105
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:16,600
- Valet parkers.
- They're just checking in now.
1106
01:01:16,690 --> 01:01:18,610
Okay, I'll tell him.
1107
01:01:18,690 --> 01:01:20,610
- Pit bosses.
- Room 1230 at the Scirocco.
1108
01:01:20,690 --> 01:01:22,610
- 1230. Right.
- Secretaries.
1109
01:01:22,690 --> 01:01:25,910
- Mint condition coins.
- Mint condition? All right.
1110
01:01:26,030 --> 01:01:27,320
And they all got
a piece of the score.
1111
01:01:27,370 --> 01:01:30,240

♪ ♪ ( HARD ROCK )
1113
01:01:33,410 --> 01:01:35,540
They were very careful.
1114
01:01:35,580 --> 01:01:38,170
They always bypassed
the alarms, or else...
1115
01:01:38,250 --> 01:01:42,710
if not, they'd drill enough holes to knock
through the walls with a sledgehammer.
1116
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:46,050
Nicky was grabbing
everything he could.
1117
01:01:46,090 --> 01:01:49,850
Nobody out there was expecting
a guy like him.
1118
01:01:51,260 --> 01:01:53,980
For Nicky, Las Vegas
was the fucking wild west.
1119
01:01:54,060 --> 01:01:56,520
I just got a shipment
of diamonds from lsrael.
1120
01:01:56,600 --> 01:02:00,480
Nicky: What the fuck they expect
from me? I had to earn, didn't I?
1121
01:02:00,570 --> 01:02:02,900
You know, this diamond
has flaws in it.
1122
01:02:02,940 --> 01:02:06,450
- There's no flaws.
- I'm doing this for 25 years.
1123
01:02:06,530 --> 01:02:09,820
You better clean your loupe,
because there's no flaws.
1124
01:02:09,950 --> 01:02:12,410
Nicky:
Whenever we got local merch...
1125
01:02:12,450 --> 01:02:15,580
we'd usually send it
to Palm Springs or Arizona, L.A.
1126
01:02:15,620 --> 01:02:18,250
I had a couple of sand niggers
out there. You know, Arabs.
1127
01:02:18,290 --> 01:02:20,880
What, are you gonna have
a fucking meeting here?
1128
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:23,090
I know his language.
1129
01:02:23,130 --> 01:02:25,130
Forty thousand dollars.
The whole package.
1130
01:02:25,220 --> 01:02:27,970
Twenty thousand.
That's my final offer.
1131
01:02:28,010 --> 01:02:31,640
He suddenly talks English. Let's talk
Turkey here. Twenty-five thousand.
1132
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:34,640
Nicky: I actually turned
my bedroom into a bank vault...
1133
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:37,190
where I kept the choice stuff.
1134
01:02:37,310 --> 01:02:40,690
I couldn't leave it
at the Gold Rush...
1135
01:02:40,770 --> 01:02:42,980
in case we got raided
by the cops...
1136
01:02:43,070 --> 01:02:44,980
or if my crew got cute.
1137
01:02:45,030 --> 01:02:48,030
I had the only key.
Jennifer didn't give a fuck.
1138
01:02:48,070 --> 01:02:51,030
She used to fall asleep
on the couch watching TV.
1139
01:02:51,070 --> 01:02:54,700
This stuff was all mine.
I didn't send any of this back home.
1140
01:02:54,790 --> 01:02:58,040
Actually, I couldn't, because I wasn't
even supposed to be doin' it.
1141
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:01,040
The bosses were making so much
fucking money with the casinos...
1142
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:04,340
that they didn't want anybody
makin' any waves for them.
1143
01:03:04,380 --> 01:03:07,050
You gave all the guys
in your crew a piece of that?
1144
01:03:07,090 --> 01:03:09,050
- I took care of everybody.
- Yeah?
1145
01:03:09,090 --> 01:03:13,560
That's why there was no real organized
street stuff in Vegas before I came here.
1146
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:16,560
But how much cash
could I bury in my closet?
1147
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,020
You have to understand,
and I'm sure you do...
1148
01:03:19,060 --> 01:03:21,230
that in a venture
of this kind...
1149
01:03:21,270 --> 01:03:23,729
you have to be prepared
to take some kind of loss.
1150
01:03:23,730 --> 01:03:27,860
So I put some of the money into legitimate
deals with Charlie Clark, Ace's banker.
1151
01:03:27,940 --> 01:03:31,660
You will try to push it through,
won't you, Mr. Clark?
1152
01:03:31,700 --> 01:03:34,410
- Yes.
- I'm giving you 50,000 cash.
1153
01:03:34,490 --> 01:03:37,910
Then I put some more money into
legitimate places, like my restaurant.
1154
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:39,910
- Is that the last one?
- Yeah.
1155
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:43,380
I had my kid brother,
Dominick, run it for me.
1156
01:03:43,420 --> 01:03:45,380
Fuckers.
1157
01:03:49,220 --> 01:03:51,220
- Here you go, guys.
- All right.
1158
01:03:51,300 --> 01:03:53,680
- Thanks a lot.
- Yeah. Enjoy. Have a good time.
1159
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:55,760
Choke on it, motherfucker.
1160
01:03:55,810 --> 01:03:57,850
- Hey, Dom.
- How ya doin'?
1161
01:03:57,930 --> 01:04:01,520
Ace: Yeah, Nicky loved restaurants.
He was a real restaurant buff.
1162
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:04,520
And over the years,
he always made money with it.
1163
01:04:04,610 --> 01:04:07,940
In Vegas, he had the Leaning Tower.
It was a very popular spot.
1164
01:04:08,030 --> 01:04:12,200
He had politicians, showgirls and movie
stars hanging out all over the place.
1165
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:14,620
That show over at the Flamingo
gets better and better.
1166
01:04:14,660 --> 01:04:18,120
By the way, Sammy said, whenever
you have a minute, give him a call.
1167
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:21,290
- Made a messenger out of you too, huh?
- Anything for a buck.
1168
01:04:21,370 --> 01:04:24,210
He does it to everybody.
Enjoy your dinner. - Thanks.
1169
01:04:24,290 --> 01:04:27,920
Ace: But I gotta tell you, the thing Nicky
liked most was the showgirls, naturally.
1170
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,720
I mean, to them,
Nicky was the movie star.
1171
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:33,090
- You walk past me?
- Hey, this is Shelly.
1172
01:04:33,130 --> 01:04:35,100
- Hey, Shelly. How are you?
- Hi.
1173
01:04:35,140 --> 01:04:37,260
- And this is Stacy.
- Stacy.
1174
01:04:37,390 --> 01:04:39,890
- This is Nick. Wanna have dinner?
- Pleasure.
1175
01:04:40,020 --> 01:04:43,480
Let's check the kitchen first.
Excuse us one second.
1176
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:46,440
Come on. I'll show you.
I fly stuff in fresh every day.
1177
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:49,440
I get bread from back home.
I get fish from California.
1178
01:04:49,530 --> 01:04:53,660
And you can always tell a great kitchen
like ours because of the milk-fed veal.
1179
01:04:53,780 --> 01:04:56,740
That's the secret.
See, milk-fed veal is pure white.
1180
01:04:56,830 --> 01:05:00,330
Out here they got that pink veal.
Slide over, honey.
1181
01:05:00,410 --> 01:05:04,170
Now, pink veal, you can pound
that shit for two days.
1182
01:05:04,250 --> 01:05:07,750
It'll never, ever get tender.
You know what I mean?
1183
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:10,880
I left here with the money.
Got muscled on the street.
1184
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:14,050
A couple guys, I owe them.
So I gave them the money.
1185
01:05:14,130 --> 01:05:16,180
- That's what I did.
- Yeah?
1186
01:05:16,300 --> 01:05:18,510
- Yeah.
- You call yourself a man?
1187
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:23,350
You know you're a lyin' lowlife,
motherfuckin' gamblin' degenerate prick?
1188
01:05:23,390 --> 01:05:25,770
You know that's what you are?
Two small kids at home.
1189
01:05:25,850 --> 01:05:28,020
I gave you money to pay
the fuckin' rent...
1190
01:05:28,110 --> 01:05:30,360
and buy groceries,
put the heat on.
1191
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:33,780
Your wife called Frankie and
told him the fuckin' heat's off.
1192
01:05:33,860 --> 01:05:36,070
And you didn't gamble
that fuckin' money?
1193
01:05:36,110 --> 01:05:38,070
- No? You didn't?
- I didn't...
1194
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:41,410
Don't fuck with me, Al!
Don't make a fuck outta me.
1195
01:05:41,490 --> 01:05:45,000
You wanna embarrass me and make
a fool outta me? You didn't gamble?
1196
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,380
Tell me you gambled
the fuckin' money...
1197
01:05:47,420 --> 01:05:50,300
I'll give you the fuckin' money
to put the fuckin' heat on!
1198
01:05:50,380 --> 01:05:52,710
Did you gamble? Huh?
1199
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:58,140
Fuckin' degenerate.
1200
01:05:58,220 --> 01:06:01,010
Fuckin' kids at home.
1201
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:06,520
Here. Get the fuck outta here.
1202
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:08,610
- Thanks, Nick.
- Yeah, thanks.
1203
01:06:08,690 --> 01:06:11,440
Let me find out you fucked up.
I'll leave you where I find you.
1204
01:06:11,820 --> 01:06:13,740
How many of these you gonna eat?
1205
01:06:13,780 --> 01:06:15,740
- Two.
- Two?
1206
01:06:15,780 --> 01:06:18,740
Ace: But around 6:30 in the morning,
when he finished his day...
1207
01:06:18,780 --> 01:06:21,240
no matter where he was
or what he was doing...
1208
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:24,370
he always went home to make breakfast
for his son, Nicky boy.
1209
01:06:24,450 --> 01:06:27,290
I know you like this.
A little butter, right?
1210
01:06:27,330 --> 01:06:30,090
- Not a lot. You know why, right?
- Yeah.
1211
01:06:30,130 --> 01:06:33,090
- Why?
- 'Cause it clogs up your heart.
1212
01:06:33,130 --> 01:06:37,300
What a smart kid you are.
Okay, eat.
1213
01:06:37,380 --> 01:06:40,140
Nicky: Every couple of weeks,
I used to send Marino...
1214
01:06:40,220 --> 01:06:42,970
back to the bosses
with a piece of what I made.
1215
01:06:43,010 --> 01:06:45,350
Not a bit piece,
but what did they know?
1216
01:06:45,430 --> 01:06:48,650
They were 1,500 miles away, and I don't
know anybody who can see that far.
1217
01:06:48,690 --> 01:06:50,770
Their drop was
a truck stop garage...
1218
01:06:50,810 --> 01:06:53,820
where Remo and the guys used
to hang out and count their millions.
1219
01:06:53,860 --> 01:06:55,820
- Remo.
- Hey, Frankie.
1220
01:06:55,860 --> 01:06:58,530
The cops knew,
but they didn't give a fuck.
1221
01:06:58,610 --> 01:07:00,700
Nicky sends his warmest regards.
1222
01:07:00,780 --> 01:07:02,370
I knew how
to keep the bosses happy.
1223
01:07:02,410 --> 01:07:05,700
Whenever they gave me
little jobs to do...
1224
01:07:05,790 --> 01:07:09,120
I would carry things out
to a "T."
1225
01:07:09,170 --> 01:07:13,380
Like the time Tony Dogs, who's supposed
to be the new maniac tough guy in town...
1226
01:07:13,460 --> 01:07:15,880
shot up one of Remo's bars.
1227
01:07:20,140 --> 01:07:23,350
Here's a fuckin' guy
kills two of Remo's guys...
1228
01:07:23,470 --> 01:07:27,850
and a poor fuckin' waitress who was just
workin' on her night off, of all things.
1229
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:33,360
I mean, this guy's just beggin'
to be made an example of.
1230
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:37,150
Frankie, I want the names
of all the other people he had with him.
1231
01:07:37,190 --> 01:07:40,610
And I don't care what you have
to do to 'em to get 'em, understand?
1232
01:07:40,700 --> 01:07:42,780
- I'll take care of it, Remo.
- And mow 'em down.
1233
01:07:42,870 --> 01:07:46,120
Nicky: To be truthful with you,
I had to admire this guy.
1234
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:49,040
He was one of the toughest
lrishmen I ever met.
1235
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:51,580
- ( CHATTERING )
- This son of a bitch was tough.
1236
01:07:51,670 --> 01:07:55,130
For two days and two fuckin' nights
we beat the shit outta this guy.
1237
01:07:55,210 --> 01:07:57,550
We even stuck ice picks
in his balls.
1238
01:07:57,590 --> 01:08:01,380
Better give me a name soon, or I'm gonna
give him yours, Frank. - Thanks a lot.
1239
01:08:01,430 --> 01:08:04,600
- But he never talked.
- I know you would've ratted by now.
1240
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:07,270
In the end, I had to put
his fuckin' head in a vise.
1241
01:08:07,350 --> 01:08:10,100
Dogs, Dogs,
can you hear me, Dogs?
1242
01:08:10,190 --> 01:08:13,100
Listen to me, Anthony.
I got your head in a vise.
1243
01:08:13,190 --> 01:08:17,320
I'll squash your fuckin' head like a
grapefruit if you don't give me a name.
1244
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:19,690
Don't make me have to do this.
Please. Come on!
1245
01:08:19,740 --> 01:08:22,860
Don't make me be a bad guy.
Come on.

( STRAINING ) Fuck you!

Two fuckin' days and nights.

01:08:28,750 --> 01:08:31,290
Fuck me? Fuck me?
You motherfucker!
1249
01:08:31,370 --> 01:08:34,210
Fuck my mother?
Ls that what you're tellin' me?
1250
01:08:34,250 --> 01:08:37,170
- ( SKULL CRUNCHING )
- You motherfucker, you! Huh?
1251
01:08:37,250 --> 01:08:40,630
- Oh, God!
- Give me the fuckin' name!
1252
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:42,630
( STRAINING ) Charlie M.
1253
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:44,640
- Charlie M.?
- Charlie M.

fuckin' eye outta your head...

You motherfucker, you!

01:08:57,440 --> 01:08:59,690
Frankie, do him a fuckin' favor.
1260
01:08:59,820 --> 01:09:02,280
Ace: The word got around
that finally...
1261
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,280
there was a real
gangster in town.
1262
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:07,410
Nicky was the new boss
of Las Vegas.
1263

Charlie M.
1264
01:09:11,500 --> 01:09:13,460
( BELLS RINGING )
1265
01:09:13,580 --> 01:09:16,880
Four reels, sevens,
across three $15,000 jackpots.
1266
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:19,300
Do you have any idea
what the odds are?
1267
01:09:19,420 --> 01:09:21,840
It's gotta be
in the millions, maybe more.
1268
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:25,180
Three fuckin' jackpots in 20 minutes!
Why didn't you call me?
1269
01:09:25,300 --> 01:09:28,810
It happened so quick. Three guys won.
I didn't have a chance.
1270
01:09:28,850 --> 01:09:32,640
- You didn't see the scam?
- There's no way to determine that.
1271
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:34,890
Yes, there is. They won!
1272
01:09:34,980 --> 01:09:38,060
It's a casino.
People gotta win sometimes.
1273
01:09:38,150 --> 01:09:41,570
Ward, you're pissing me off.
Now you're insulting my intelligence.
1274
01:09:41,650 --> 01:09:43,848
You know goddamn well
somebody had to get into
1275
01:09:43,860 --> 01:09:46,070
those machines and set
those fuckin' reels.
1276
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:49,080
The probability on one machine
is a million and a half to one.
1277
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:51,660
On three machines in a row,
it's in the billions.
1278
01:09:51,790 --> 01:09:53,910
What's the matter with you?
1279
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:58,880
Didn't you see you were being set up
on the second win?
1280
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:01,210
I think you're overreacting.
1281

Listen, you fuckin' yokel. I've been
carrying your ass ever since I got here.

- Get your ass outta here.
- You're firing me?

I'm firing you.
No, I'm not firing...
1284
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:14,020
- You might regret this.
- I'll regret it if I keep you.
1285
01:10:14,060 --> 01:10:16,480
This is not the way
to treat people.
1286
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:18,610
If you didn't know,
you're too fuckin' dumb.

If you did know,
you were in on it.

Either way, you're out.
Get out. Come on. Let's go.

commissioner or related
to a commissioner.

This is his state.
His uncle's chief judge.

His brother-in-law runs
the county commission.

You're in the finances,
you're upstairs.

But you are not on the floor.
You don't see what's going on.

They're all looking
to rob me blind 24 hours a day.

Mr. Rothstein, County Commissioner
Pat Webb is here to see you.
1461
01:20:22,630 --> 01:20:25,170
- Give me a minute.
- Okay. Just a minute.
1462
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:44,980
Mr. Webb, can I
get you anything?
1463
01:20:45,070 --> 01:20:47,530
Uh, no. No, thank you,
little lady.
1464
01:20:47,570 --> 01:20:49,780
Okay, send him in.
Then call me four minutes after.
1465
01:20:49,820 --> 01:20:53,620
- Mr. Rothstein, I'm Pat Webb.
- How do you do?
1466
01:20:53,700 --> 01:20:56,620
- Hey, it is a pleasure.
- I heard a lot about you.
1467
01:20:56,660 --> 01:21:00,080
Oh, thank you, sir.
Hey, house is doin' well.
1468
01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:02,710
Hey, all that money
is rollin' in.
1469
01:21:02,790 --> 01:21:06,040
I appreciate you takin' the time
to see a poor civil servant.
1470
01:21:06,130 --> 01:21:08,760
- Why don't you have a seat, hmm?
- Oh, thank you, sir.
1471
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:12,220
I come here personally
to kind of smooth over...
1472
01:21:12,260 --> 01:21:14,890
any fracas
about a certain matter.
1473
01:21:14,970 --> 01:21:17,220
See, uh, maybe
you didn't know it...
1474
01:21:17,310 --> 01:21:20,180
but Don Ward is a very
well-liked man in this town.
1475
01:21:20,270 --> 01:21:24,190
He's got lots of friends. Nice family and
their money go back many, many years.
1476
01:21:24,270 --> 01:21:28,230
Now friends vote.
Family and money votes.
1477
01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:31,240
That's important to me and you.
1478
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:35,820
And if you'll think about
our little problem along them lines...
1479
01:21:35,910 --> 01:21:38,790
and you'll forgive me
for sayin' it...
1480
01:21:38,910 --> 01:21:42,160
maybe he did not
deserve to be fired.
1481
01:21:42,290 --> 01:21:44,580
I'm sorry, but he knew
about our getting hit...
1482
01:21:44,670 --> 01:21:47,030
on three big machines in a row,
and he did nothing about it.
1483
01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:51,920
That means, either he was in on it or he
was too dumb to see what was goin' on.
1484
01:21:52,050 --> 01:21:54,970
Either way, I cannot have
a man like that working here.
1485
01:21:55,090 --> 01:21:57,760
Before we point the dirty
end of the stick at old Don...
1486
01:21:57,890 --> 01:22:00,640
we better be sure
we can prove them charges.
1487
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:03,440
Believe me, if I could prove it,
he would be under arrest.

1491
01:22:14,240 --> 01:22:16,950
I think you're way out of line
talking to me like that.
1492
01:22:16,990 --> 01:22:21,410
What you're saying is libelous, and you're
in no position to challenge my expertise.
1493
01:22:21,490 --> 01:22:24,790
I went way out of my way
to be very helpful to that kid.
1494
01:22:24,910 --> 01:22:28,330
He's weak. He's incompetent.
He jeopardizes the whole place.
1495
01:22:28,420 --> 01:22:30,550
There's not much more
I can do for him.

You have got me there.
( CHUCKLES )
1497

Old Don is as useless
as tits on a boar.

( COUGHS )
But he is my brother-in-law...
1499
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:43,480
and I would look on it
as a personal favor...
1500
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:46,640
if you'd think some more
on hirin' him back.
1501
01:22:46,690 --> 01:22:48,900
I can't do that.
1502
01:22:48,980 --> 01:22:51,480
I appreciate the fact
that he's your brother-in-law...
1503
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:54,320
and I do want to help you
and I like to do favors.
1504
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:57,320
I know who you are,
but I cannot do that.
1505
01:22:57,360 --> 01:23:01,450

any position...

I'm sorry. I can't do anything.
1508
01:23:08,420 --> 01:23:12,630
He's too incompetent, and the bottom
line is, he cannot be trusted.

- No problem.

- Sorry.
- You bet.

01:23:56,380 --> 01:23:58,300

were outside the count room...

01:26:33,410 --> 01:26:35,670
it was all worth it.
1569
01:26:35,750 --> 01:26:39,130
The cash kept rollin' in...
1570
01:26:39,170 --> 01:26:41,960
and the suitcases
kept comin' and goin'.
1571
01:26:42,010 --> 01:26:46,550
And let me tell you, the fuckin'
bottom line here is... cash.
1572
01:26:48,180 --> 01:26:50,430
The only problem was
that after a while...
1573
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:55,100
the bosses noticed that the suitcases
were gettin' a little light.
1574
01:26:55,140 --> 01:26:57,810
Wait a minute.
You mean to tell me...
1575
01:26:57,900 --> 01:27:00,770
that the money we're robbing
is being robbed?
1576
01:27:00,860 --> 01:27:02,780
Somebody's robbing from us?
1577
01:27:02,860 --> 01:27:05,450
We go through all this trouble
and somebody's robbing us?
1578
01:27:05,490 --> 01:27:07,030
Huh?
1579
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:10,740
Like I said, it's part of the business.
It's considered leakage.
1580
01:27:10,780 --> 01:27:13,160
Leakage my balls.
I want the guy who's robbing us.
1581
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:16,000
Nicky: Even John Nash...
that's the guy who ran the scam...
1582
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:18,460
he knew there wasn't much
he could do about it.
1583
01:27:18,540 --> 01:27:20,880
You gotta know that
a guy who helps you steal...
1584
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:23,170
even if you take care
of him real well...
1585
01:27:23,210 --> 01:27:25,380
he's gonna steal
a little extra for himself.
1586
01:27:25,470 --> 01:27:27,380
Makes sense, don't it?
1587
01:27:27,470 --> 01:27:31,010
Try and make these hardheaded
old greaseballs understand that.
1588
01:27:31,050 --> 01:27:35,520
What's the point of skimming if we're
being skimmed? It defeats the purpose.
1589
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:37,100
Huh?
1590
01:27:37,140 --> 01:27:40,980
They take this money because they're
my guys, so give 'em some leeway.
1591
01:27:41,060 --> 01:27:43,400
Nicky: But the bosses
never believed in leeway...
1592
01:27:43,530 --> 01:27:45,530
so listen to what they do.
1593
01:27:45,610 --> 01:27:48,530
They put Artie Piscano,
the underboss of K.C...
1594
01:27:48,610 --> 01:27:51,990
in charge of making sure
nobody skimmed the skim.
1595
01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:54,620
- What were you doin'?
- I was with my cumma.
1596
01:27:54,700 --> 01:27:57,160
- What are you doin' with your cumma?
- I gave her a scheff.
1597
01:27:57,250 --> 01:27:59,620
The only trouble was,
Piscano was a disaster.
1598
01:27:59,710 --> 01:28:03,000
This guy could fuck up
a cup of coffee.
1599
01:28:03,090 --> 01:28:05,840
- What you been doin'?
- I'm out there more than I'm here.
1600
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:08,300
And little did anybody know
where this would lead.
1601
01:28:08,380 --> 01:28:11,930
If they did, they'd would've
been better off makin' fuckin' novena.
1602
01:28:12,050 --> 01:28:14,220
You gotta go back there
and talk to that guy.
1603
01:28:14,350 --> 01:28:16,950
I never got paid my expenses for
the last trip. - What expenses?
1604
01:28:17,020 --> 01:28:21,350
I'm layin' money outta my own pocket,
and I never get anything back.
1605
01:28:21,440 --> 01:28:23,400
You gotta go back out there.
1606
01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:25,980
From now on, I'm gonna
start keepin' records.
1607
01:28:26,070 --> 01:28:29,700
No records, Artie. What are
you gonna do with records, pay taxes?
1608
01:28:29,740 --> 01:28:32,200
I keep layin' out
my own fuckin' dough.
1609
01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:34,700
What the hell are
we doin' over here?
1610
01:28:34,830 --> 01:28:37,750
You're goin' to Las Vegas
at my expense.
1611
01:28:37,790 --> 01:28:39,710
Oh, fuck. I mean, after all...
1612
01:28:39,790 --> 01:28:42,250
Ace: No matter how many novenas
you could make...
1613
01:28:42,380 --> 01:28:44,500
nothing was gonna stop
what came up next.
1614
01:28:44,590 --> 01:28:47,300
- I can't believe you're doing this.
- We made a deal.
1615
01:28:47,380 --> 01:28:50,180
It turned out Phil Green,
Mr. integrity...
1616
01:28:50,260 --> 01:28:52,260
had a partner nobody knew about.
1617
01:28:52,390 --> 01:28:55,600
And when she showed up
and started demanding money...
1618
01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:58,980
- Why are you doing this?
- Because you're wrong.
1619
01:28:59,020 --> 01:29:01,060
- Yes, you are.
- No, I am not wrong.
1620
01:29:01,100 --> 01:29:03,350
Green tried to stonewall her.
1621
01:29:03,440 --> 01:29:06,230
I will see to it that you
do not get away with this.
1622
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:08,360
So, she sued him in court.
1623
01:29:08,440 --> 01:29:11,780
The court will now hear the matter
of the plaintiff, Anna Scott...
1624
01:29:11,820 --> 01:29:14,820
against Tangiers Corporation
and its president, Phil Green.
1625
01:29:14,910 --> 01:29:18,450
- Oberon on behalf of Mr. Green.
- Logan on behalf of Anna Scott.
1626
01:29:18,500 --> 01:29:20,790
- Mr. Oberon, you can proceed.
- Thank you, Judge.
1627
01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:23,960
I believe he was fair,
and I'm delighted with the decision.
1628
01:29:24,040 --> 01:29:26,000
We got a problem.
1629
01:29:29,420 --> 01:29:32,300
It didn't go too well.
Green has to open up the books...
1630
01:29:32,340 --> 01:29:34,720
has to show how
he got the financing.
1631
01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:36,680
Hey, that's not good.
1632
01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:42,730
Nicky: She was doin' pretty good
with her lawsuit.
1633
01:29:42,810 --> 01:29:45,150
But before she could start
countin' her money...
1634
01:29:45,190 --> 01:29:47,980
the boys back home decided
to settle the case out of court.
1635
01:29:48,020 --> 01:29:50,110
So they sent me.
1636
01:30:05,250 --> 01:30:08,170
Can you comment on
the murder of Anna Scott?
1637
01:30:08,250 --> 01:30:11,840
What are you talking about? - She was
found last night shot in the head.
1638
01:30:11,920 --> 01:30:14,050
Was this just
a real estate partnership?
1639
01:30:14,090 --> 01:30:16,220
Her lawyer said
you were partners.
1640
01:30:16,260 --> 01:30:20,010
We were involved in minor
real estate deals many years ago.
1641
01:30:20,140 --> 01:30:22,680
It was never a partnership.
1642
01:30:22,810 --> 01:30:25,730
Did you ever hear
of the .22 Caliber Killer?
1643
01:30:25,770 --> 01:30:28,730
Ace: Now, instead of the cops
only looking at Nicky...
1644
01:30:28,770 --> 01:30:31,070
they started looking
at Green too.
1645
01:30:31,110 --> 01:30:33,900
And he was supposed to be
our squeaky-clean front man.
1646
01:30:33,950 --> 01:30:36,870
I had to start giving interviews
to make sure everybody knew...
1647
01:30:36,910 --> 01:30:39,200
the casino was on the up-and-up.
1648
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:41,830
So how often do you
really fill in for him?
1649
01:30:43,910 --> 01:30:46,749
Green's here about
two or three times a month...
1650
01:30:46,750 --> 01:30:49,340
and he's busy
with real estate deals.
1651
01:30:49,420 --> 01:30:52,420
So in Green's absence,
then, you're the boss?
1652
01:30:52,510 --> 01:30:55,550
I serve at the pleasure
of the chairman of the board.
1653
01:30:55,680 --> 01:31:01,100
My responsibilities are
to run the day-to-day operations.
1654
01:31:01,140 --> 01:31:03,350
So day-to-day, then,
you're the boss?
1655
01:31:03,390 --> 01:31:07,100
Well, in a sense, you could say
that I am the boss...
1656
01:31:07,150 --> 01:31:09,940
when Mr. Green is away.
1657
01:31:11,650 --> 01:31:13,690
You could say that.
1658
01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:15,780
Hmm, have you read this?
1659
01:31:17,740 --> 01:31:19,780
About Mr. Rothstein.
1660
01:31:19,820 --> 01:31:22,660
It says, "The Midwest bookmaker
with mob ties..."
1661
01:31:22,740 --> 01:31:25,210
says that he is the real boss
of the $100 million...
1662
01:31:25,290 --> 01:31:27,960
Tangiers casino empire...
1663
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:30,170
Did he really say that?
1664
01:31:30,250 --> 01:31:33,460
Why, of course he said that.
It's right here.
1665
01:31:33,510 --> 01:31:37,510
Has that man even filed
for his license yet?
1666
01:31:37,590 --> 01:31:40,260
I don't know.
We have to check the files.
1667
01:31:40,300 --> 01:31:42,810
Without gettin' your shorts
in a knot, would you do that?
1668
01:31:42,850 --> 01:31:46,940
And kinda check closely, 'cause we may
have to kick a kike's ass outta town.
1669
01:31:46,980 --> 01:31:48,940
Thank you.
1670
01:31:50,810 --> 01:31:53,190
A Gaming Control Board
investigation...
1671
01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:55,530
of Tangiers executive
Sam Rothstein's application...
1672
01:31:55,570 --> 01:31:58,070
for a gaming license
is underway.
1673
01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:01,910
Rothstein, who heads the Tangiers Casino
operation and is a boyhood friend...
1674
01:32:01,950 --> 01:32:04,410
of Las Vegas mob boss
Nicky Santoro...
1675
01:32:04,450 --> 01:32:06,700
could lose his ability
to work in the casino...
1676
01:32:06,790 --> 01:32:08,710
( MUTED )
1677
01:32:08,790 --> 01:32:12,250
- ( PHONE RINGS )
- Hello?
1678
01:32:12,290 --> 01:32:17,420
I gotta meet Clean Face. What
about the Chez Paris? - You can't.
1679
01:32:17,470 --> 01:32:19,630
You gotta make a reservation.
It's all booked up. - No, no.
1680
01:32:19,720 --> 01:32:22,640
It's impossible.
You gotta make a reservation.
1681
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:24,640
It's very difficult to get in.
1682
01:32:24,720 --> 01:32:27,640
I'll use the service entrance.
I'll see you at 9:00.
1683
01:32:27,730 --> 01:32:30,650
All right.
1684
01:32:30,730 --> 01:32:34,650
The battle between State gaming
officials and Tangiers Casino boss...
1685
01:32:34,690 --> 01:32:37,150
Sam "Ace" Rothstein
is heating up.
1686
01:32:37,240 --> 01:32:39,313
Tonight, an up-to-the-minute
look at Ace.
1687
01:32:39,325 --> 01:32:41,410
Rothstein's attempt to
get state licensing...
1688
01:32:41,490 --> 01:32:45,660
despite law enforcement allegations of
Rothstein's organized crime connections.
1689
01:32:45,740 --> 01:32:47,983
Will Sam Rothstein's
friendship with alleged
1690
01:32:47,995 --> 01:32:50,250
organized crime figure
Nicky Santoro...
1691
01:32:50,330 --> 01:32:53,000
keep Rothstein from running
the Tangiers Casino?
1692
01:32:53,080 --> 01:32:57,090
And can the integrity of state gaming laws
be jeopardized by a boyhood friendship?
1693
01:32:57,170 --> 01:33:00,680
Why don't you take it easy on that
stuff? Huh? -( NEWSCASTER CONTINUES )
1694
01:33:00,720 --> 01:33:03,470
Come on. Let me help you down.
1695
01:33:03,510 --> 01:33:05,470
We're talking about some stuff.
1696
01:33:05,510 --> 01:33:09,560
At 6:00: Will a boyhood friendship unseat
Rothstein as the Tangiers Casino boss?
1697
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:13,440
Exclusive on the KBBO
special news report.
1698
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:17,530
- Go down. Just... go downst-
- ( NEWSCASTER CONTINUES )
1699
01:33:21,320 --> 01:33:25,490
You can't let this concern you, Ace.
Don't worry.
1700
01:33:25,530 --> 01:33:28,040
It's just a political
witch hunt.
1701
01:33:32,210 --> 01:33:34,790
Ace.
1702
01:33:34,920 --> 01:33:37,300
Do you want something to drink?
1703
01:33:37,380 --> 01:33:39,380
- Charlie, a refill?
- Yeah, great.
1704
01:33:39,420 --> 01:33:42,879
No. Hey, Mr. Clark.
I've been tryin' to reach you.
1705
01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:45,890
You're tougher to get than the president.
Well, I've been busy.
1706
01:33:45,970 --> 01:33:48,970
Yeah? At least you could return
my phone calls, though.
1707
01:33:49,060 --> 01:33:52,350
Listen, Nicky,
we talked about this.
1708
01:33:52,440 --> 01:33:56,860
And I explained to you that you might
have to take some kind of loss.
1709
01:33:56,900 --> 01:33:59,150
Yeah.
1710
01:33:59,230 --> 01:34:02,150
I think I want my money back.
1711
01:34:02,280 --> 01:34:06,570
( LAUGHING )
What are you gonna do, strong-arm me?
1712
01:34:06,620 --> 01:34:10,830
( LAUGHING )- You know, I think you've
gotten the wrong impression about me.
1713
01:34:10,910 --> 01:34:13,460
I think, in all fairness...
1714
01:34:13,540 --> 01:34:17,420
I should explain to you
exactly what it is that I do.
1715
01:34:17,500 --> 01:34:21,800
Tomorrow morning I'll get up nice
and early, take a walk to the bank...
1716
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:25,840
and walk in and see, and, uh,
if you don't have my money for me...
1717
01:34:25,930 --> 01:34:29,260
I'll crack your fuckin' head
wide open in front of everybody.
1718
01:34:29,350 --> 01:34:32,930
And just about the time
that I'm comin' out of jail...
1719
01:34:33,020 --> 01:34:37,110
hopefully you'll be comin'
out of your coma.
1720
01:34:37,190 --> 01:34:40,780
And guess what? I'll split
your fuckin' head open again.
1721
01:34:40,860 --> 01:34:45,030
'Cause I'm fuckin' stupid.
I don't give a fuck about jail.
1722
01:34:45,110 --> 01:34:48,030
That's my business.
That's what I do.
1723
01:34:48,160 --> 01:34:52,660
We know what you do. You fuck people
out of money and get away with it.
1724
01:34:52,750 --> 01:34:54,458
- You can't talk to me like that.
- Hey, you
1725
01:34:54,470 --> 01:34:56,190
fat lrish prick! You
put my money to sleep!
1726
01:34:56,250 --> 01:34:59,090
Get my money, or I'll put
your brain to sleep. - Sam!
1727
01:34:59,170 --> 01:35:01,250
Never mind Sam.
This is personal.
1728
01:35:01,300 --> 01:35:05,300
I'll be there in the morning. You can
try me, Fatso. You fuckin' try me.
1729
01:35:05,340 --> 01:35:08,300
You think he got the point?
1730
01:35:08,340 --> 01:35:13,730
What're you doin'? He's a square guy, for
chrissakes. He's gonna run to the F.B.l.
1731
01:35:13,810 --> 01:35:18,860
That prick's been dodgin' me for three
weeks. You're tryin' to tell me what to do.
1732
01:35:18,940 --> 01:35:22,820
I'm not tryin' to tell you what to do.
You're outta line. Where's your head?
1733
01:35:22,900 --> 01:35:27,030
Where's my head?
Where's your fuckin' balls?
1734
01:35:27,110 --> 01:35:30,780
I'm tryin' to put somethin' big together
here. You know what I'm talkin' about.
1735
01:35:30,830 --> 01:35:33,660
If you're actin' like this now,
can I depend on you?
1736
01:35:33,750 --> 01:35:36,278
A lot of things gonna change.
If you wanna be
1737
01:35:36,290 --> 01:35:38,830
there with me, you're
gonna have to go my way.
1738
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:42,380
Listen, Nick, understand my situation.
I'm responsible for thousands of people.
1739
01:35:42,460 --> 01:35:45,510
I got a hundred million a year
goin' through the place.
1740
01:35:45,550 --> 01:35:48,340
It's all over if I don't
get that license.
1741
01:35:48,430 --> 01:35:51,350
If it goes bad for me,
it's bad for a lot of people.
1742
01:35:51,390 --> 01:35:54,233
Forget about your fuckin' license.
I plant
1743
01:35:54,245 --> 01:35:57,100
my own flag, you ain't
gonna need a license.
1744
01:35:57,190 --> 01:36:01,650
You know, I don't know what it is,
Sammy, but the more I talk to you...
1745
01:36:01,730 --> 01:36:03,980
the more I feel like you just
don't want to go along with me.
1746
01:36:04,030 --> 01:36:07,990
- No, I don't want to come along with you.
- All right, fine.
1747
01:36:08,030 --> 01:36:10,820
I don't want to be involved
in anything you're talking about, okay?
1748
01:36:10,870 --> 01:36:13,620
I want to run a square joint.
I just want my license.
1749
01:36:13,700 --> 01:36:15,620
I want everything quiet.
That's it!
1750
01:36:15,700 --> 01:36:18,080
Quiet like this?
"I'm the boss"? That's quiet?
1751
01:36:18,120 --> 01:36:20,130
That's taken out of context.
I had no control over that.
1752
01:36:20,210 --> 01:36:24,920
Ronnie and Billy will tell you exactly
what happened. - Back home that looks bad.
1753
01:36:24,960 --> 01:36:29,090
Looks bad? Every time you're on television,
I get mentioned. That looks bad.
1754
01:36:29,180 --> 01:36:31,930
- What the fuck happened to you?
- What happened to me?
1755
01:36:31,970 --> 01:36:33,930
- What happened to you? You lost control.
- I lost control?
1756
01:36:34,010 --> 01:36:36,980
Look at you, you're fuckin' walkin'
around like John Barrymore.
1757
01:36:37,060 --> 01:36:42,060
A pink robe and a fuckin'
cigarette holder? I lost control?
1758
01:36:42,150 --> 01:36:44,513
I don't wanna bring
this up, but you been
1759
01:36:44,525 --> 01:36:46,900
treatin' people with
disrespect, even your wife.
1760
01:36:46,940 --> 01:36:49,900
My wife? What does she have
to do with this?
1761
01:36:49,950 --> 01:36:52,688
She was upset about a lot
of things, especially
1762
01:36:52,700 --> 01:36:55,450
that whole fuckin'
Lester Diamond incident.
1763
01:36:55,540 --> 01:36:57,443
You're the shoulder to cry on?
Did you her
1764
01:36:57,455 --> 01:36:59,370
tell about your little
role in that situation?
1765
01:36:59,460 --> 01:37:01,750
No, that's not
the fuckin' point.
1766
01:37:01,830 --> 01:37:05,550
The point is, she's upset, and you've
got a problem. - I would appreciate it...
1767
01:37:05,590 --> 01:37:07,550
if you stay out
of my personal life.
1768
01:37:07,590 --> 01:37:11,430
- You wouldn't like it if I did it to you.
- She came to talk to me.
1769
01:37:11,510 --> 01:37:13,800
What was I supposed to do?
Throw her out?
1770
01:37:13,850 --> 01:37:17,060
Stay away from her. It's none of your
business. - It's none of my business?
1771
01:37:17,140 --> 01:37:22,270
A week ago it was. Now it's none of my
business. When you need me, you need me.
1772
01:37:22,350 --> 01:37:25,110
The way you need me
to vouch for you as a citizen.
1773
01:37:25,190 --> 01:37:27,940
I'm gonna have to straighten out
what you did with this guy.
1774
01:37:28,030 --> 01:37:30,950
This guy is gonna run
to the F.B.l. now.
1775
01:37:31,030 --> 01:37:32,950
Your head's bigger
than your casino.
1776
01:37:33,030 --> 01:37:36,950
Ace Narrating: I knew what
he wanted. Nicky wanted to take over.
1777
01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:41,960
He wanted to go after Gaggi,
the skim, everything and everybody.
1778
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:45,790
Plus, he had stopped asking permission
from back home for every little thing.
1779
01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:49,630
( GUNSHOT )
1780
01:37:49,670 --> 01:37:55,350
A casino boss and his wife were killed.
The bulls questioned Nicky.
1781
01:37:55,390 --> 01:37:58,310
A dealer from the Sirocco.
They questioned Nicky.
1782
01:37:58,390 --> 01:38:00,483
A bunch of stool pigeons
wound up in the
1783
01:38:00,495 --> 01:38:02,600
trunks of their cars.
They questioned Nicky.
1784
01:38:02,690 --> 01:38:04,600
A lawyer.
1785
01:38:04,690 --> 01:38:08,360
- ( EXPLOSIONS )
- They questioned Nicky.
1786
01:38:08,440 --> 01:38:11,610
When some guys that didn't pay
their shylocks began disappearing...
1787
01:38:11,690 --> 01:38:14,610
Nicky's name was in every one
of those newspapers.
1788
01:38:14,700 --> 01:38:18,540
Nicky was questioned in two dozen murders,
but they always had to let him go.
1789
01:38:18,620 --> 01:38:20,540
There were never any witnesses.
1790
01:38:20,620 --> 01:38:23,670
Nicky Narrating: The coppers blamed
me for everything that went wrong.
1791
01:38:23,710 --> 01:38:26,460
Watch yourself.
You're gonna get runned over, there.
1792
01:38:26,540 --> 01:38:30,460
If a guy fuckin' tripped over a
banana peel, they'd bring me in for it.
1793
01:38:30,550 --> 01:38:32,470
Come on, be nice, huh?
1794
01:38:32,550 --> 01:38:36,640
And the bosses were no better. They
complained because things don't run smooth.
1795
01:38:36,720 --> 01:38:40,140
In my line of work,
things don't run so smooth. I'm sorry.
1796
01:38:40,220 --> 01:38:42,310
I'm dealin' with degenerate
animals out here.
1797
01:38:42,350 --> 01:38:44,310
But the bosses,
what do they give a fuck?
1798
01:38:44,350 --> 01:38:46,810
They're sittin' on their asses
drinkin' anisette.
1799
01:38:46,900 --> 01:38:49,480
I'm the guy in the trenches.
1800
01:38:49,570 --> 01:38:53,070
Fuckin' bosses think it's
a fuckin' free lunch out here.
1801
01:38:53,110 --> 01:38:57,240
Frankie, they found
a guy's head in the desert.
1802
01:38:57,320 --> 01:38:59,240
You know about that?
1803
01:38:59,330 --> 01:39:01,910
- Yeah, I heard. Yeah.
- Yeah.
1804
01:39:01,950 --> 01:39:05,870
Everybody's talkin'. They're makin' a big
deal out of it. It's in all the papers.
1805
01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:08,590
What are you gonna do?
1806
01:39:08,630 --> 01:39:14,470
And I mean, that's no good. You gotta tell
him to take care of things a little better.
1807
01:39:14,550 --> 01:39:16,890
I'll tell him, Remo.
1808
01:39:16,930 --> 01:39:19,300
Nicky Narrating: Fuckin' bosses;
They're smokin' their Di Nobilis...
1809
01:39:19,390 --> 01:39:22,640
and they're eatin' trippa and fuckin'
suffritte, you know, fried pigs' guts.
1810
01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:26,140
If I want to talk private,
I gotta go to a bus stop.
1811
01:39:26,230 --> 01:39:30,610
What do they care long as I keep sendin'
money back? - They're complainin'.
1812
01:39:30,690 --> 01:39:34,530
Let 'em complain. I'm the one
who's here. I do all the work.
1813
01:39:34,610 --> 01:39:39,070
- Somebody don't like it, fuck 'em.
- It's up to you.
1814
01:39:39,200 --> 01:39:42,120
They want a fuckin' war?
I'm ready.
1815
01:39:42,200 --> 01:39:46,120
All I gotta do is take care of five of
those guys. The rest will fall into place.
1816
01:39:46,210 --> 01:39:49,330
Peekaboo, you fucks, you.
1817
01:39:49,420 --> 01:39:52,300
I see you, you motherfuckers.
1818
01:39:52,340 --> 01:39:56,260
Ace Narrating: Nicky was not only
bringing heat on himself but on me too.
1819
01:39:56,300 --> 01:40:00,680
The F.B.l. watched every move he made,
but he didn't care. He just didn't care.
1820
01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:03,800
Nicky Narrating: If they're gonna watch
me, I'm gonna watch 'em right back.
1821
01:40:03,810 --> 01:40:06,890
I spent a few bucks.
Top dollar. Who gives a shit?
1822
01:40:06,980 --> 01:40:09,178
I got the latest anti-buggin'
equipment from the
1823
01:40:09,190 --> 01:40:11,400
same places that sell
to the fuckin' C.l.A.
1824
01:40:11,480 --> 01:40:14,368
I had special police
frequency radios, F.B.l.
1825
01:40:14,380 --> 01:40:17,280
de-scramblers, cameras
that see in the dark.
1826
01:40:17,320 --> 01:40:22,700
And because of that, the miserable sons of
bitches never caught me doin' anything.
1827
01:40:22,780 --> 01:40:27,040
Ace Narrating: I got my job on the line,
and this guy's havin' the time of his life.
1828
01:40:27,080 --> 01:40:31,000
He has every cop in the state
watchin' him, and he's out playin' golf.
1829
01:40:31,040 --> 01:40:34,090
And at the worst
possible time for me.
1830
01:40:34,170 --> 01:40:37,760
I had my license hearing coming up, and I
didn't want to leave anything to chance.
1831
01:40:37,800 --> 01:40:41,719
I mean, if I can't work in Vegas,
where am I gonna go?
1832
01:40:41,720 --> 01:40:44,680
You've been very open with us.
I mean, your books and papers.
1833
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:47,680
That's gonna mean something
when you go before the commission.
1834
01:40:47,770 --> 01:40:49,928
- All I ask is a fair hearing.
- This kind
1835
01:40:49,940 --> 01:40:52,110
of honesty will guarantee
that fair hearing.
1836
01:40:52,190 --> 01:40:55,820
- All right, well, we'll move on to...
- ( AIRPLANE ENGINE SPUTTERING )
1837
01:40:55,860 --> 01:41:00,530
( ENGINE SPUTTERING )- L wanted
to hear something about Kansas City.
1838
01:41:00,570 --> 01:41:02,950

gonna land, the fairway?

They're fuckin' agents, Frankie.
Look at this.
1842
01:41:32,190 --> 01:41:35,520
Ace Narrating: The Feds were
watching Nicky play golf for so long...
1843
01:41:35,570 --> 01:41:37,820
they ran out of gas.
1844
01:41:37,900 --> 01:41:41,570
Just what I needed, right
in front of the Control Board.

A hundred dollars,
whoever hits the plane.
1846
01:41:50,330 --> 01:41:55,960
And as if things weren't bad enough, in
comes Piscano, the Kansas City underboss.
1847
01:41:56,040 --> 01:41:58,920
He ran that little grocery store in Kansas
City where they bought the suitcases.
1848
01:41:58,960 --> 01:42:02,929
Fightin' over those suitcases again.
You know what that means, right?
1849

I gotta take another trip to Vegas, and
it's gonna cost me another couple grand.
1850
01:42:06,350 --> 01:42:08,720
Ace Narrating:
He ran it with his brother-in-law...
1851
01:42:08,810 --> 01:42:11,730
but mostly what he did was complain
about his trips to Vegas.
1852
01:42:11,770 --> 01:42:16,190
You gotta lay down the law, otherwise
they're gonna make a fool out of you.

I write it all down. Every fuckin'
nickel goes down. Receipts...

with you? - Everything's here.

- I'm sorry.
1856

take the eyes out of his frickin' head.

01:42:30,160 --> 01:42:32,410
- Again.
- I said, "frickin' head."

01:42:32,460 --> 01:42:34,540
- That's enough.
- I'm sorry.

Ace Narrating: What happens next?
You can't believe it.
1860
01:42:36,630 --> 01:42:38,990
Who would believe that the F.B.l.
had a wire in the place...

about some old homicide...

What's to prevent him with the suitcases
that he could take what he wants?
1864
01:42:48,640 --> 01:42:52,310
Fuckin' Nance takes back two suitcases from
the Tangiers. What about three or four?
1865
01:42:52,390 --> 01:42:55,480
We've got nobody
in the room to watch. That's the law.
1866
01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:59,070
We can't even go into the count room to
watch our money. You believe this bullshit?

01:42:59,190 --> 01:43:02,078
Sure, he's got his people in there.

together, those fucks.

I'll find out. If it's Green,
I'll bury that bastard.

I never trusted him.
They trust that scumbag. I don't.

- Ma, I'm sorry. I'm all upset.
- I know, but that's enough.

01:43:21,300 --> 01:43:24,340
You know what they're doin'. I can't
take this no more. Back and forth.
1875
01:43:24,470 --> 01:43:28,140
Take it easy. You'll get a heart attack
like that. - I know. I'm too upset.

is, they hear all this stuff...

that such a thing could happen?

make money, not to lose money.

the country had their ears open now.

done right you gotta do it yourself.

Mr. Rothstein is pleased
to be here today.

Ace Narrating:
When the day finally came, I was ready.
1890
01:44:14,890 --> 01:44:18,520
I felt so confident that
all I had to do was present my case.
1891

We have documents, one of which is
a report by retired F.B.l. agents...

which completely absolves Mr. Rothstein
from any wrongdoing.

- Counselor, before you continue...
- I want to have this marked...

- Denying?
- Do I hear a motion seconded?

I second the motion.

This hearing is adjourned.
1900
01:44:45,920 --> 01:44:49,630
You have to be kidding. - Adjourned?
What do you mean, "Adjourned"?
1901
01:44:49,760 --> 01:44:54,180
Senator, you promised me a hearing. You
didn't even look at the F.B.l. reports.
1902
01:44:54,310 --> 01:44:57,218
When you were my guest
at the Tangiers Hotel,
1903
01:44:57,230 --> 01:45:00,150
did you not promise
me a fair hearing?
1904

I was never your guest. - You were
never my guest? I never comped you?
1905
01:45:04,230 --> 01:45:07,990
I don't comp you at least three times
a month? - I'd like to answer that.
1906
01:45:08,110 --> 01:45:11,570
Mr. Rothstein is being very typical
to this point. He's lying.

was with Barney Greenstein.

at that dinner? - You were wandering.

- You were wandering.

building. - I was in the building?

dinner, and you swore to

Did you not?

least at the dinner. Allow me that much.

1920
01:45:54,990 --> 01:45:57,740

getting comped at my hotel.

stunned commissioners into the hallway
where he continued his harangue...

until his own lawyers
and friends urged him to leave.

What's the matter with him,
making all this mess?

Maybe he could run things with another
job title. What are we gonna do?

However he runs things, it's gotta be

- They ain't sendin' Nicky nowhere.
- If he took a break...

were 99 out of 100.

couple of hundred yards down the road...

2543
02:23:21,910 --> 02:23:25,700
The booze, the coke, the broads.
2544
02:23:25,740 --> 02:23:28,040
I mean, he got sloppy.
2545
02:23:28,080 --> 02:23:30,040
He just wasn't
the same Nicky anymore.
2546
02:23:30,080 --> 02:23:33,210
- You must have drank too much.
- Go fuck yourself.
2547
02:23:33,290 --> 02:23:35,250
Ace Continues: One night he had
to belt a guy three times...
2548
02:23:35,290 --> 02:23:37,249
before the guy
finally went down.
2549
02:23:37,250 --> 02:23:39,590
In the old days, Nicky would have
decked him with one shot.
2550
02:23:39,670 --> 02:23:42,010
You add this into the mix...
2551
02:23:42,090 --> 02:23:44,930
Maybe just Vegas got to all of us.
2552
02:23:44,970 --> 02:23:47,220
His crew followed him
right over the edge.
2553
02:23:47,260 --> 02:23:50,140
They were all tuned up
half the time on coke.
2554
02:23:50,230 --> 02:23:53,190
They started doing stupid things.
The worst was Blue.
2555
02:23:53,270 --> 02:23:56,360
- Hey, what do you guys want?
- Police! Stay in the car!
2556
02:23:56,440 --> 02:23:58,800
Ace Narrating: He never knew
when to keep his mouth shut.
2557
02:23:58,820 --> 02:24:01,030
- Police: Drop the gun!
- Fuck you!
2558
02:24:05,660 --> 02:24:08,330
Ace Continues:
The cops shot Blue...
2559
02:24:08,410 --> 02:24:12,499
because they thought his hero
sandwich was a gun. -( GUNSHOTS )
2560
02:24:12,500 --> 02:24:14,860
They could have been right, but who knows?
Jesus Christ!
2561
02:24:14,920 --> 02:24:17,670
What gun? He's got
a fuckin' hero sandwich here.
2562
02:24:17,750 --> 02:24:19,840
- What do you want? It's pitch black.
- Pitch black!
2563
02:24:19,920 --> 02:24:23,300
- It's tinfoil. It looked like a gun!
- You fuckin' moron!
2564
02:24:23,380 --> 02:24:26,300
I'll be fillin' out paperwork for the
next two months! - What are we gonna do?
2565
02:24:26,340 --> 02:24:27,800
- I'm sorry!
- You jerk-off!
2566
02:24:27,930 --> 02:24:30,850
Ace Narrating: To get even,
Nicky's crew got stoned one night...
2567
02:24:30,930 --> 02:24:32,850
and they started shooting up
the cops' houses.
2568
02:24:44,700 --> 02:24:47,570
It got to the point where they couldn't
talk in the Gold Rush anymore...
2569
02:24:47,660 --> 02:24:49,700
because the Feds
put a wire in the wall.
2570
02:24:49,740 --> 02:24:52,370
Even when they talked outside,
they had to cover their mouths...
2571
02:24:52,410 --> 02:24:55,000
Shit, he's covering up again. - Because
the Feds brought in lip readers.
2572
02:24:55,040 --> 02:24:58,670
Nicky found out from a teller
who owed him money.
2573
02:24:58,710 --> 02:25:01,670
He asked me again
about you and the Jew's wife.
2574
02:25:01,710 --> 02:25:04,840
Walk, walk, walk.
What'd you say?
2575
02:25:04,880 --> 02:25:07,890
He asked me again about you
and the Jew's wife.
2576
02:25:07,930 --> 02:25:10,060
Yeah? What'd you tell him?
2577
02:25:10,100 --> 02:25:12,180
I told him
I didn't know nothin'.
2578
02:25:12,220 --> 02:25:16,520
Jiggs and Tony Gorilla said
if you did anything, you're fucked up.
2579
02:25:16,560 --> 02:25:20,360
You think he's going home
making a beef behind my back?
2580
02:25:20,400 --> 02:25:22,900
Nah, you would have
heard something.
2581
02:25:22,940 --> 02:25:28,360
- What's to stop him?
- I know, I know.
2582
02:25:28,450 --> 02:25:32,410
I don't trust him anymore,
but they'd never okay anything.
2583
02:25:32,450 --> 02:25:35,040
Yeah, but they keep
asking about it.
2584
02:25:35,080 --> 02:25:39,040
Sure they're asking.
They earn with the prick.
2585
02:25:39,080 --> 02:25:43,710
I got a funny feeling he's gonna start
a fuckin' war or something.

but you know what I want you to do?

2590

3000
02:51:13,830 --> 02:51:18,920
and some 25-year-old hotel school kid is
gonna want his social security number.
3001
02:51:20,790 --> 02:51:23,340
After the Teamsters
got knocked out of the box...
3002
02:51:23,420 --> 02:51:26,800
the corporations tore down practically
every one of the old casinos.
3003
02:51:26,840 --> 02:51:31,260
And where did the money come
from to rebuild the Pyramids?
3004
02:51:31,340 --> 02:51:34,310
Junk bonds.
3005
02:51:38,310 --> 02:51:40,520
Still not sure?
3006
02:51:40,600 --> 02:51:42,560
- ( BELL RINGING )
- Probable. Maybe questionable.
3007
02:51:42,610 --> 02:51:44,900
Let me know as soon
as you can find out.
3008
02:51:44,980 --> 02:51:49,490
Ace Narrating: But in the end, I
wound up right back where I started.
3009
02:51:49,530 --> 02:51:51,490
I could still pick winners...
3010
02:51:51,570 --> 02:51:54,870
and I could still make money
for all kinds of people back home.
3011
02:51:54,950 --> 02:51:57,910
And why mess up a good thing?
3012
02:51:58,000 --> 02:51:59,910
And that's that.
