Huh.

00:01:20,663 --> 00:01:23,665
I've been trying to reach him for a week,
but he hasn't gotten back to me.

00:01:28,505 --> 00:01:33,258

my boss is a very wealthy man

00:01:33,343 --> 00:01:36,345
who wants to buy a boat. [scoffs]

00:01:36,429 --> 00:01:39,181

before he goes back to Michigan.

to give this man some money.

Why don't you bring your boss in?
13

and he can see what he likes.

My boss...
15

I'd never turn my back on my boss.

I don't owe anybody anything.
23
00:02:28,648 --> 00:02:31,066
I'm paid in full and more so.
24
00:02:33,111 --> 00:02:33,986
You tell him that.
25
00:02:36,030 --> 00:02:38,073
Okay. I'll tell him.

We're done! We're out of business, Ben!

We lost the union!
You still got your cash, right?

I'll be back. Don't you go.
351
00:26:16,801 --> 00:26:20,429
[Shelley] Now I didn't volunteer,
okay, to run your office,
352
00:26:20,513 --> 00:26:23,557
your business and your family,
for Christ's sake.
353
00:26:24,475 --> 00:26:26,101
I'm just a lawyer, remember?
354
00:26:26,561 --> 00:26:29,062
You flew 3,000 miles to complain?
355
00:26:29,147 --> 00:26:30,772
What are you doing here, Ben?
356
00:26:32,066 --> 00:26:33,650
What are you running away from? Lansky?
357
00:26:33,735 --> 00:26:35,569
I'm busting my ass for our company.
358
00:26:35,653 --> 00:26:38,280
Oh, oh, okay. Yeah, right. I can see that.
359
00:26:38,364 --> 00:26:40,574
Winning races sells boats, Shelley.
360
00:26:40,658 --> 00:26:42,743
Do you throw in the sex with every sale
or do they pay for that, too?
361
00:26:42,827 --> 00:26:46,079
- You better watch your fuckin' mouth.
- Oh, good. Great. Rip me to shreds, Ben,
362
00:26:46,164 --> 00:26:50,125
because then there will be
absolutely nobody running your company.
363
00:26:52,503 --> 00:26:53,712
I'm sorry.
364
00:26:55,006 --> 00:26:55,881
Yeah.
365
00:26:57,717 --> 00:26:58,675
[Shelley sighs]
366
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,887
I'm gonna win the world championship
at the end of this month, Shelley.
367
00:27:02,639 --> 00:27:04,848
That's big. It's very big.
368
00:27:07,018 --> 00:27:08,185
Mazel tov.
369
00:27:11,189 --> 00:27:13,273
By the way,
your son just got into college.
370
00:27:13,691 --> 00:27:14,858
He's leaving in a week.
371
00:27:16,569 --> 00:27:18,028
I just thought you'd like to know.
372
00:27:19,364 --> 00:27:21,031
I'll see you back in Florida.

I was losing something far more important.

He damaged his spine...
in the car accident.
395
00:29:02,967 --> 00:29:04,134
He's in surgery now.
396
00:29:06,346 --> 00:29:08,055
They say he may not make it.
397
00:29:11,768 --> 00:29:14,061
Don't worry. We'll get this right.

Andy, you gotta fight through this.

00:29:54,185 --> 00:29:55,852
You need to stick around.
403
00:29:57,855 --> 00:30:01,358
You're an Aronoff.
We fight back. We battle.
404
00:30:04,112 --> 00:30:05,487
Okay, this is the deal.
405
00:30:05,863 --> 00:30:08,240
You're gonna get through this,
you're gonna get better,
406
00:30:08,741 --> 00:30:10,617
and you're gonna walk the hell outta here.

I'm gonna be here
all night with you, okay?
410
00:30:20,628 --> 00:30:23,422
I'll be right here.
I'm gonna sleep right there on the couch.
411
00:30:24,173 --> 00:30:27,092
I'm not going anywhere. Okay? Dad's back.

Your son had to almost lose his life
to get his father's attention.

What do the rest of us have to do?
416
00:31:23,065 --> 00:31:24,065
Come on.
417
00:31:24,901 --> 00:31:25,734
Come on.
418
00:31:50,217 --> 00:31:52,385
- You got a lot of friends, Ben.
- Do I?
419
00:32:01,979 --> 00:32:03,354
How is he? How's Andrew?
420
00:32:06,725 --> 00:32:08,726
They told me he'll never walk again.
421
00:32:14,149 --> 00:32:15,525
Oh, God.
422
00:32:18,821 --> 00:32:20,071
I mean, he's here, though, right?
423
00:32:21,490 --> 00:32:23,241
He's a tough kid. He'll battle back.
424
00:32:24,952 --> 00:32:27,120
Kathy and I are through. Done.
425
00:32:29,456 --> 00:32:31,165
- A long time ago, Ben.
- [scoffs]
426
00:32:33,710 --> 00:32:36,295
So, how are we doing?
427
00:32:40,254 --> 00:32:41,671
What do you mean? Business-wise?
428
00:32:41,755 --> 00:32:43,047
- Yes.
- Oh. [scoffs]
429
00:32:43,883 --> 00:32:45,341
No, I'm not talking about that right now.
430
00:32:45,426 --> 00:32:46,885
Oh, yes, you are, Shelley.
431
00:32:46,969 --> 00:32:48,344
Actually, no, I'm not.
432
00:32:48,429 --> 00:32:51,806
Just tell me, how are we doing?
What are the numbers? Just tell me.
433
00:32:54,518 --> 00:32:57,395
Look, it's not like every time you win
a race, they gave you a million bucks,
434
00:32:58,230 --> 00:33:01,691
which is half of what it costs to run the
racing team across Europe for the summer.
435
00:33:02,526 --> 00:33:03,651
[Ben sighs]
436
00:33:04,778 --> 00:33:08,573
To be honest,
we can't sell enough hulls a year
437
00:33:08,657 --> 00:33:10,742
to keep the company afloat,
not the way we're running it.
438
00:33:10,826 --> 00:33:12,452
We're in a deep hole, Ben.
439
00:33:20,460 --> 00:33:21,293
Well...
440
00:33:22,796 --> 00:33:23,712
I'll fix it.
441
00:33:24,839 --> 00:33:26,131
Like I always do.
442
00:33:47,445 --> 00:33:51,865
[Ben] I knew where I had to go,
and he was waiting for me.
443
00:33:53,493 --> 00:33:54,993
I thought I got out,
444
00:33:56,079 --> 00:33:57,579
but you never get out.
445
00:34:34,701 --> 00:34:35,909
Great to see you, Ben.
446
00:34:48,339 --> 00:34:50,716
[Ben] Someone else
was waiting for me, too.
447
00:34:55,305 --> 00:34:57,806
[TV playing softly]
448
00:35:03,605 --> 00:35:05,189
Hell of a day out there, champ.
449
00:35:06,733 --> 00:35:08,817
But they're still
running the horses at noon.
450
00:35:09,319 --> 00:35:13,947
So, what do you say we burn a grand or two
451
00:35:14,491 --> 00:35:16,408
and remember what real beer tastes like?

00:35:20,163 --> 00:35:21,413
Andy.
454
00:35:22,624 --> 00:35:26,710
I'm telling ya, feeling sorry
for yourself ain't gonna work.
455
00:35:27,086 --> 00:35:30,130
You gotta get out there, boy.
You gotta live again.
456
00:35:32,675 --> 00:35:36,011
Come on, buddy. Let's go out.
Let's go out to the track.

Okay, that's it.
459
00:35:45,772 --> 00:35:47,022
I fuckin' hate you!
460
00:36:03,540 --> 00:36:04,540
Well, I love you.

00:36:22,559 --> 00:36:23,475
What do I see?

00:36:24,310 --> 00:36:25,310
I see a smile?
463
00:36:26,521 --> 00:36:28,021
You know you're still fucking crazy?
464
00:36:28,815 --> 00:36:30,524
Yeah. I know that.
465
00:36:31,693 --> 00:36:33,068
Now let's go to the track.
466
00:36:35,029 --> 00:36:37,739
- [announcer] And they're off!
- [indistinct yelling]

00:36:39,659 --> 00:36:43,245
Here we go! Come on! Come on!
469
00:36:43,746 --> 00:36:48,292
Do it! Five! Come on! Five! Come on!

00:36:48,376 --> 00:36:52,421
- You got this!
- Do it! Do it! Do it!

00:36:52,505 --> 00:36:53,922
Five! Come on!
472
00:36:54,465 --> 00:36:57,926
Yes! There it is! Look, look!
Look, look, look! We got it!

Yes! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
474
00:36:59,304 --> 00:37:01,597
[Ben] Bring it home! Whoo!

00:37:01,681 --> 00:37:03,640
- That's it, baby!
- We got it!
476

Come on, five!
477
00:37:15,486 --> 00:37:16,862
Whoo-hoo!
478
00:37:17,697 --> 00:37:19,740
[Ben] Two wins today, buddy. Not bad.
479
00:37:20,992 --> 00:37:21,908
You like it?
480
00:37:23,161 --> 00:37:25,203
Yeah, what's not to like? It was fun.
481
00:37:25,288 --> 00:37:29,416
You know, I got a line
on a big stable up north in Ocala.
482
00:37:29,500 --> 00:37:31,209
What do you say we buy it?
483
00:37:31,294 --> 00:37:33,420
We fill it with thoroughbreds,
484
00:37:33,504 --> 00:37:35,172
and you run the whole damn thing.
485
00:37:36,633 --> 00:37:38,050
I don't know anything about horses, Dad.
486
00:37:39,260 --> 00:37:42,554
I didn't know anything
about boats or building houses.
487
00:37:45,058 --> 00:37:47,601
See this? See that?
488
00:37:48,895 --> 00:37:52,230
That was my whole year's salary
when I was a gym teacher in Brooklyn.
489
00:37:53,149 --> 00:37:54,816
- How do you think I did that?
- [scoffs]
490
00:37:54,901 --> 00:37:56,360
How do you think I made that happen?
491
00:37:56,986 --> 00:38:00,113
I busted my ass
and I beat the fuckin' odds.
492
00:38:01,741 --> 00:38:02,824
So can you.
493
00:38:05,620 --> 00:38:08,288
- You really think so?
- Ah! I know so.
494
00:38:09,999 --> 00:38:11,833
[Ben] I was never really there for him,
495
00:38:12,335 --> 00:38:17,214
but I wanted to buy him some happiness,
and he took that money... and ran.
496
00:38:23,638 --> 00:38:24,554
Coño.
497
00:38:31,771 --> 00:38:33,021
Top-of-the-line model.
498
00:38:37,735 --> 00:38:39,945
- How much?
- Retail, 32K.
499
00:38:41,781 --> 00:38:44,366
- You'll take 35?
-45.

- [speaking Spanish]
- [speaking Spanish]
501
00:38:52,834 --> 00:38:56,169
Fuck it. We take together, pair.
502
00:38:56,254 --> 00:38:59,256
- Say, 80K.
-100K.

00:39:11,185 --> 00:39:12,102
Okay.
507
00:39:13,062 --> 00:39:14,271
Ah.
508
00:39:14,355 --> 00:39:15,439
Deal.
509
00:39:16,274 --> 00:39:17,566
What do you want the title to be?
510
00:39:17,650 --> 00:39:21,194
- [man scoffs]
- Pick a name. A good one.
511
00:39:21,863 --> 00:39:23,905
Nobody wants to explain
where the cash came from.
512
00:39:24,741 --> 00:39:27,534
- Come with me.
- [laughs] I like this guy.
513
00:39:40,256 --> 00:39:42,758
[Ben]
And just like their drug-sniffing dogs,
514
00:39:42,842 --> 00:39:44,801
once the DEA got the scent,
515
00:39:44,886 --> 00:39:46,261
they were hard to shake.
516
00:39:47,430 --> 00:39:48,972
Mr. Aronoff!
517
00:39:49,307 --> 00:39:50,891
Stuart Lopez, DEA.
518
00:39:53,352 --> 00:39:54,227
Nice boat!
519
00:39:54,771 --> 00:39:56,313
I'd like to ask you a few questions.
520
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:58,565
Office.
521
00:39:59,275 --> 00:40:00,442
I'll see you there.
522
00:40:04,572 --> 00:40:07,616
Look, no surprise to you, Mr. Aronoff.
523
00:40:07,700 --> 00:40:10,327
Cigarette boats are a big hit
on the drug-running circuit.
524
00:40:10,745 --> 00:40:13,121
Lately, we busted a lot of
smugglers driving your boats.
525
00:40:13,206 --> 00:40:14,122
My boats?
526
00:40:14,207 --> 00:40:16,374
I mean, boats manufactured
by your company.
527
00:40:16,459 --> 00:40:18,293
Ah, yes.
528
00:40:18,419 --> 00:40:21,922
The problem is the sales names are fiction
and the hull numbers don't make any sense.
529
00:40:22,715 --> 00:40:23,673
We sell boats.
530
00:40:23,758 --> 00:40:27,135
They're registered, re-registered,
sold and resold.
531
00:40:27,220 --> 00:40:30,514
And, by the way, the resale value
is through the fucking roof.
532
00:40:32,016 --> 00:40:34,768
Do you record the hull numbers
associated with each purchase?
533
00:40:34,852 --> 00:40:38,188
Now you know, and I know,
that it's illegal
534
00:40:38,272 --> 00:40:40,065
not to record those numbers, so...
535
00:40:40,733 --> 00:40:41,942
where are you going with this?
536
00:40:42,777 --> 00:40:44,319
Just doing our job, Mr. Aronoff.
537
00:40:44,737 --> 00:40:47,280
- You know, catching bad guys.
- [laughs]
538
00:40:47,365 --> 00:40:52,828
Okay, so do you go to Smith and Wesson
every time you haul someone in with a gun?
539
00:40:53,579 --> 00:40:55,539
Look, I make boats. Fast boats.
540
00:40:55,623 --> 00:40:59,793
People want them.
They come in here, I take their ID,
541
00:40:59,877 --> 00:41:03,380
they pay me money, and boom,
they are standing
542
00:41:03,464 --> 00:41:06,842
in the cockpit of a speedboat,
a very sexy speedboat.
543
00:41:07,468 --> 00:41:08,385
So what do you want me to do?
544
00:41:08,469 --> 00:41:10,595
To chase them down and fingerprint them?
545
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:14,599
- We'd put you on our payroll if you did.
- [both laugh]
546
00:41:15,726 --> 00:41:16,726
That's good.
547
00:41:34,535 --> 00:41:36,202
- Whoa, watch out.
- Out of the road!
548
00:41:39,790 --> 00:41:41,666
[indistinct chatter]
549
00:41:44,712 --> 00:41:46,379
Make sure you get the name right.
550
00:41:46,714 --> 00:41:48,381
I'm Robbie fuckin' Reemer!
551
00:41:53,012 --> 00:41:54,804
[Ben] With the Feds closing in on him,
552
00:41:55,431 --> 00:41:57,474
Meyer Lansky fled to Israel,
553
00:41:58,100 --> 00:42:00,894
but Israel's welcome
to all Jews from anywhere
554
00:42:00,978 --> 00:42:04,814
did not include him,
and he was forced back to Miami.
555
00:42:10,736 --> 00:42:12,903
Hey, Ben. Come.
556
00:42:21,580 --> 00:42:24,915
Meyer, welcome back. How are ya?
557
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,292
Ben. [coughs]
558
00:42:27,043 --> 00:42:28,544
- [clears throat]
- [Ben sighs]
559
00:42:30,172 --> 00:42:32,673
They tell me that you made
all the payments back to me.
560
00:42:33,383 --> 00:42:36,051
Yes. Almost six months ago.
561
00:42:36,511 --> 00:42:37,928
We've just been rolling them out.
562
00:42:38,013 --> 00:42:41,640
You know, it's a...
Business booming and it's... [laughs]
563
00:42:41,725 --> 00:42:44,894
Just... everyone and their brother
wants a speedboat.
564
00:42:45,854 --> 00:42:47,229
Here, let me get that.
565
00:42:51,564 --> 00:42:53,857
Yeah, it's good. [sighs]
566
00:42:54,609 --> 00:42:55,609
[laughs]
567
00:42:55,902 --> 00:42:57,027
[Ben sighs]
568
00:42:58,946 --> 00:43:00,739
You self-satisfied little prick.
569
00:43:06,662 --> 00:43:07,788
You took the money, Ben.
570
00:43:11,247 --> 00:43:12,164
[bangs table]
571
00:43:12,248 --> 00:43:13,790
You took the fuckin' money!
572
00:43:14,167 --> 00:43:16,585
You didn't borrow it
from Household Finance!
573
00:43:18,755 --> 00:43:20,714
You don't think that I got other things
to worry about?
574
00:43:21,216 --> 00:43:23,842
Besides Ben Aronoff
and his little fuckin' boat business?
575
00:43:23,927 --> 00:43:25,260
[Ben] Meyer. Meyer, please.
576
00:43:25,887 --> 00:43:27,262
You know I'm grateful,
577
00:43:27,347 --> 00:43:30,098
and you also know
I went to great lengths to...
578
00:43:30,183 --> 00:43:31,266
Stop!
579
00:43:36,272 --> 00:43:38,482
We are growing our operations on the seas.
580
00:43:40,109 --> 00:43:42,444
You're clean and that helps.
581
00:43:42,946 --> 00:43:44,029
Don't play dumb.
582
00:43:45,114 --> 00:43:46,698
You know exactly what I'm talking about.
583
00:43:46,783 --> 00:43:48,951
Now, there is a big difference
584
00:43:49,035 --> 00:43:52,120
between what we had agreed upon
and what you're implying here.
585
00:43:52,622 --> 00:43:54,790
You'll do your fuckin' part!
586
00:43:56,668 --> 00:43:57,751
[bangs table]
587
00:44:04,425 --> 00:44:05,884
- Hey, champ.
- Hey.
588
00:44:07,470 --> 00:44:08,679
I got a fucking name!
589
00:44:11,182 --> 00:44:12,266
You remember me, right?
590
00:44:13,977 --> 00:44:16,395
Because Ben Aronoff has everything.
591
00:44:17,689 --> 00:44:18,689
Meyer's nephew.
592
00:44:19,816 --> 00:44:20,816
Meyer's nephew?
593
00:44:21,526 --> 00:44:22,401
You're not?
594
00:44:24,153 --> 00:44:26,238
I'm racing now! You better watch out!
595
00:44:26,322 --> 00:44:27,739
Oh, yeah? We'll be lookin' for ya.
596
00:44:28,408 --> 00:44:30,742
[engine revving]
597
00:44:57,979 --> 00:44:59,229
Good to see ya.
598
00:45:01,858 --> 00:45:02,899
I gotta see it.
599
00:45:12,994 --> 00:45:14,119
We're good?
600
00:45:15,371 --> 00:45:17,748
Yeah, we're good. It's this way.
601
00:45:25,631 --> 00:45:27,090
1.5 tons.
602
00:45:27,175 --> 00:45:28,884
Now, that's what I'm talking about.
603
00:45:28,968 --> 00:45:31,803
- Boys, get to work.
- Yes, sir.
604
00:45:39,937 --> 00:45:41,396
Whoo!
605
00:45:41,856 --> 00:45:45,233
[coughing]
It tastes stronger every day, man.
606
00:45:45,568 --> 00:45:48,153
Hey, boss! You want some?
607
00:45:48,237 --> 00:45:49,613
Yeah, pass it over here!
608
00:45:51,199 --> 00:45:52,824
Some fuckin' good weed!
609
00:45:52,909 --> 00:45:54,868
[coastguard 1] See if you see him.
He's coming at you. Late-model C.
610
00:45:54,952 --> 00:45:56,578
[coastguard 2]
Yeah, we got eyes on him right now.
611
00:45:57,246 --> 00:46:01,124
Here he comes. Here he comes.
Everybody set?
612
00:46:01,209 --> 00:46:02,876
- [officer 1] Yes, sir. All set.
- [officer 2] All set. All set.
613
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:04,669
Go! Go! Go!
614
00:46:04,754 --> 00:46:06,421
[siren]
615
00:46:06,714 --> 00:46:08,465
- Fuck!
- Oh, shit! Fuck!
616
00:46:09,258 --> 00:46:10,592
[officer] This is the Coast Guard!
617
00:46:10,676 --> 00:46:13,762
- Stop your boat! Stop your boat!
- [siren]
618
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:30,570
[yells]
619
00:46:31,447 --> 00:46:32,322
Oh, man!
620
00:46:33,449 --> 00:46:34,616
You okay? You okay?
621
00:46:34,992 --> 00:46:36,952
Shit! Brad looks bad!
622
00:46:37,036 --> 00:46:38,036
Grab the wheel!
623
00:46:41,666 --> 00:46:43,041
You're gonna be okay!
624
00:46:47,505 --> 00:46:48,547
Move!
625
00:46:51,801 --> 00:46:54,219
[officer] Pick him up! Pick him up!
626
00:47:10,153 --> 00:47:11,570
Need some repairs, champ.
627
00:47:12,196 --> 00:47:15,615
I got some holes in her,
and I want you to take care of it.
628
00:47:21,247 --> 00:47:22,080
[Ben] Mmm.
629
00:47:23,207 --> 00:47:25,667
No. We don't do those kind of repairs.
630
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:27,002
I'm sure you do.
631
00:47:27,837 --> 00:47:30,213
As a matter of fact, I know you do.
632
00:47:31,299 --> 00:47:33,758
And, while you're at it, how about you
put some of them custom seat-stitchings
633
00:47:33,843 --> 00:47:35,177
you've been doing on the new ones?
634
00:47:35,761 --> 00:47:37,095
I'd really like that.
635
00:47:37,847 --> 00:47:40,932
And, when you're done,
you can run the bill over to my uncle.
636
00:47:41,601 --> 00:47:42,809
Let me ask you something.
637
00:47:43,352 --> 00:47:45,312
- Hmm?
- Did your uncle teach you how to swim?
638
00:47:45,688 --> 00:47:47,189
[groans]
639
00:47:47,273 --> 00:47:48,857
[upbeat music playing]
640
00:48:01,954 --> 00:48:03,705
Let's get a drink. Come on.
641
00:48:04,165 --> 00:48:05,499
This is so fun being with you, Ben.
642
00:48:05,583 --> 00:48:08,418
- Manhattan, two cherries?
- Let's do champagne.
643
00:48:08,503 --> 00:48:09,503
Champagne!
644
00:48:11,839 --> 00:48:13,256
Are they getting younger, champ,
645
00:48:13,341 --> 00:48:15,050
or are you just getting
more distinguished?
646
00:48:15,426 --> 00:48:17,886
Do you really want to start this
with your best-paying client?
647
00:48:17,970 --> 00:48:19,304
I'm not starting anything.
648
00:48:20,306 --> 00:48:23,266
- Uh, you are the famous boat racer?
- Yes.
649
00:48:23,351 --> 00:48:25,185
- Yes.
- [laughter]
650
00:48:25,269 --> 00:48:27,521
So shall I call you "The Animal?"
651
00:48:27,605 --> 00:48:28,730
Yes. [growls]
652
00:48:28,814 --> 00:48:29,773
[growls]
653
00:48:30,733 --> 00:48:31,816
[Ben laughs]
654
00:48:32,818 --> 00:48:34,194
You can call me "The Animal. "
655
00:48:38,324 --> 00:48:41,826
[indistinct chatter]
656
00:48:43,788 --> 00:48:45,914
- Your Majesty.
- King Hussein of Jordan?
657
00:48:46,415 --> 00:48:48,166
Now, you know this is the spot!
658
00:48:57,385 --> 00:49:00,804
[Ben] And, oh, my God, she walked in.
659
00:49:17,238 --> 00:49:18,363
I've known him for years.
660
00:49:19,865 --> 00:49:20,907
I'll be right back.
661
00:49:27,081 --> 00:49:29,583
- How's my favorite king?
- [laughs]
662
00:49:30,876 --> 00:49:33,378
You didn't realize?
I stopped speaking to you
663
00:49:33,462 --> 00:49:35,922
after you sold those Donzis
to the Israelis,
664
00:49:36,007 --> 00:49:37,924
and they turned them into torpedo boats.
665
00:49:38,175 --> 00:49:40,760
- Anything to beat the damn Arabs.
- [laughs]
666
00:49:40,845 --> 00:49:42,095
Still the same Ben.
667
00:49:42,763 --> 00:49:43,847
My friends.
668
00:49:44,599 --> 00:49:47,809
You can't say "Miami"
without saying Ben Aronoff.
669
00:49:48,185 --> 00:49:51,271
And this lovely creature is Emily Gowen.
670
00:49:52,064 --> 00:49:53,023
My pleasure.
671
00:49:53,107 --> 00:49:56,901
I lure her from New York
to come slum with us on the beach.
672
00:49:57,445 --> 00:50:00,238
[laughs]
I wouldn't call it that, Your Highness.
673
00:50:02,658 --> 00:50:05,160
- [woman] Emily, how are you?
- Oh, you made it.
674
00:50:06,245 --> 00:50:07,495
So...
675
00:50:07,955 --> 00:50:10,290
[upbeat music]
676
00:50:35,399 --> 00:50:37,859
[indistinct singing]
677
00:51:48,885 --> 00:51:51,679
Last night at The Jockey Club,
this motherfucker came up to me
678
00:51:51,763 --> 00:51:53,848
and said, "Get down
to your warehouse right now. "
679
00:51:53,932 --> 00:51:56,309
So I dump my date, I speed down,
680
00:51:56,977 --> 00:51:59,395
I open up the fucking gates, and bam!
681
00:51:59,479 --> 00:52:01,981
There are two boats pulling up,
filled with marijuana.
682
00:52:02,065 --> 00:52:05,943
They take that shit through my warehouse,
put 'em on trucks,
683
00:52:06,486 --> 00:52:07,528
and this is what we get.
684
00:52:07,613 --> 00:52:09,196
This is how you go to jail, man.
685
00:52:11,033 --> 00:52:13,242
Ben, uh, what are we doin' here?
686
00:52:13,327 --> 00:52:15,536
This is Lansky saying, "Do your bit! "
687
00:52:16,038 --> 00:52:19,040
And, on top of that,
he wants me to fly down to the Caymans
688
00:52:19,124 --> 00:52:20,791
and make deposits on their money.
689
00:52:21,668 --> 00:52:22,710
[sighs]
690
00:52:22,794 --> 00:52:24,170
That's not my biggest problem.
691
00:52:25,005 --> 00:52:26,589
You know anything about Emily Gowen?
692
00:52:26,673 --> 00:52:28,549
- You gotta be kidding me, right?
- No.
693
00:52:28,634 --> 00:52:30,676
Besides the fact
that she's King Hussein's girlfriend?
694
00:52:30,761 --> 00:52:32,970
Shelley, he's got two fuckin' wives.
695
00:52:33,055 --> 00:52:37,642
And bodyguards,
and an enormous bankroll, and an army.
696
00:52:38,060 --> 00:52:40,436
Please. Just get me the number, will ya?
697
00:52:53,113 --> 00:52:55,156
Hey! Hey, Emily!
698
00:52:56,408 --> 00:52:58,284
There's a guy up there,
says he wants to talk to you.
699
00:53:14,795 --> 00:53:16,004
I didn't know what to bring,
700
00:53:16,088 --> 00:53:19,090
but I saw that you drank this
the other night at the club.
701
00:53:19,508 --> 00:53:21,509
You're nothing if not persistent,
Ben Aronoff.
702
00:53:24,055 --> 00:53:25,096
I got your calls.
703
00:53:25,890 --> 00:53:28,099
Examine a man's faults,
you'll find his virtues.
704
00:53:36,234 --> 00:53:39,277
I have some stuff to do.
You're welcome to come along.
705
00:53:40,071 --> 00:53:41,112
Thank you.
706
00:53:42,198 --> 00:53:44,908
So, have you been riding
since you were a kid?
707
00:53:45,826 --> 00:53:47,619
- That's all I lived for.
- Hmm.
708
00:53:47,745 --> 00:53:49,913
Until my mother threw me into modeling.
709
00:53:52,291 --> 00:53:53,500
Have you ever been on a horse?
710
00:53:53,584 --> 00:53:55,085
[chuckles]
711
00:53:55,962 --> 00:53:58,255
I have a tough enough time
staying on a boat.
712
00:53:58,339 --> 00:54:01,216
No horses, but I do like horse races.
713
00:54:01,884 --> 00:54:03,510
- Yeah, me too.
- Yeah.
714
00:54:04,841 --> 00:54:08,635
There's nothing like it when they're
really running and turning for home.
715
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:10,887
It is the best 20 seconds on Earth.
716
00:54:10,972 --> 00:54:15,559
Yeah. The sound of those hooves
and the muscle and grit.
717
00:54:15,643 --> 00:54:18,728
It's amazing. It's truth.
718
00:54:19,355 --> 00:54:20,355
Yeah.
719
00:54:21,232 --> 00:54:24,359
Marlboro, he's my favorite,
so I always make time to feed him.
720
00:54:24,443 --> 00:54:28,905
If he had his way, he'd bust right
outta here and just keep running, right?
721
00:54:28,990 --> 00:54:31,199
- I know how you feel, Marlboro.
- [she chuckles]
722
00:54:31,284 --> 00:54:33,243
May I feed him? May I?
723
00:54:33,578 --> 00:54:34,995
Here, let me try.
724
00:54:37,540 --> 00:54:38,999
There you go. Oops.
725
00:54:39,458 --> 00:54:41,209
- Let me try again. Here you go.
- [chuckles]
726
00:54:41,294 --> 00:54:44,421
Here. There you go. Wow.
727
00:54:48,217 --> 00:54:50,010
You're pretty comfortable around a horse.
728
00:54:51,095 --> 00:54:52,679
You sure you haven't been on one?
729
00:54:54,390 --> 00:54:57,809
- You're a natural.
- [chuckles] I wouldn't say that.
730
00:54:59,687 --> 00:55:01,730
[thunder rumbling]
731
00:55:08,112 --> 00:55:09,487
It's gonna get worse.
732
00:55:10,698 --> 00:55:12,866
Hey, there's no shame
in sitting this one out.
733
00:55:12,950 --> 00:55:14,534
Half the field's already dropped.
734
00:55:14,827 --> 00:55:15,744
Really?
735
00:55:16,662 --> 00:55:19,748
You know, I knew a guy once,
looked a lot like you.
736
00:55:20,291 --> 00:55:22,751
He said,
"I'll never get tired of this shit!"
737
00:55:23,461 --> 00:55:24,628
- Come on.
- Yeah.
738

00:55:59,246 --> 00:56:02,999
I'm no sailor,
but those dark clouds can't be good.
740
00:56:04,794 --> 00:56:07,087

Let me explain, sweetheart.
743
00:56:09,924 --> 00:56:12,968
In the glorious sport
of offshore powerboat racing,
744
00:56:13,386 --> 00:56:15,679
you take the beating of a lifetime
for hours,
745
00:56:16,138 --> 00:56:19,307
there's no one there to cheer you on,
and if you get hurt,
746
00:56:19,392 --> 00:56:22,936
which Ben does every single race,
you can't quit.
747
00:56:23,020 --> 00:56:25,146
You gotta just keep going
until you see land.
748
00:56:26,315 --> 00:56:27,691
That's good to know, Mr. Katz,
749
00:56:27,775 --> 00:56:30,235
that the chances of Ben standing me up
on this date are...
750
00:56:30,569 --> 00:56:34,948
Zero to none. Okay?
And would ya please call me Shelley?
751
00:56:35,700 --> 00:56:38,326

756
00:57:05,187 --> 00:57:08,314
And there's Brassfield! He's making a run!
757
00:57:08,816 --> 00:57:10,817

- No! Full throttle! Full throttle!

he'd be here by now.

01:08:03,536 --> 01:08:04,870
You know how much money they're making.
872
01:08:04,954 --> 01:08:06,246
Why do they have to rip me off?
873
01:08:06,331 --> 01:08:08,040
You're making a lot of money too, buddy.
874
01:08:08,667 --> 01:08:10,292
And you're rich enough to not give a damn.
875
01:08:11,336 --> 01:08:14,338
Besides, that kid is sloppy. All right?
He's all over the place.
876
01:08:14,422 --> 01:08:17,174
He'll be back in prison
before you know it, while you, my friend,
877
01:08:17,258 --> 01:08:19,677
have a new company to run.
U.S.A. Racing, baby.
878
01:08:20,011 --> 01:08:20,969
I'll call you tomorrow.
879
01:08:30,438 --> 01:08:31,397
[Shelley] Safe flight, buddy.
880
01:08:31,481 --> 01:08:33,899
I can't believe this, Shelley. Last run.
881
01:08:33,983 --> 01:08:36,068
I'm with you. Last run for me, too!
882
01:08:38,238 --> 01:08:39,488
Last time, Shelley!
883
01:08:56,047 --> 01:08:57,715
[indistinct chatter]
884
01:09:10,186 --> 01:09:11,645
[man] Ha-ha! Big Ben!
885
01:09:11,730 --> 01:09:13,063
Mister Vice President.
886
01:09:13,148 --> 01:09:14,982
Oh, go tell it to the Marines.
887
01:09:15,066 --> 01:09:16,483
I'm happy with just plain old George.
888
01:09:16,568 --> 01:09:17,568
I'm happy with Ben.
889
01:09:17,652 --> 01:09:19,194
[all laughing]
890
01:09:19,279 --> 01:09:20,320
- How are ya?
- How are you?
891
01:09:20,405 --> 01:09:22,364
This is Nick Brady.
He's a long-time friend.
892
01:09:22,449 --> 01:09:24,992
He runs a big bank in New York...
Dillon Read.
893
01:09:25,076 --> 01:09:26,118
Oh, well.
894
01:09:26,202 --> 01:09:28,954
I've been hearing loads about you, too,
'cause George is always bragging.
895
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:31,665
- Is that right?
- You need someone to manage your millions.
896
01:09:31,750 --> 01:09:32,916
Nick runs a pretty good outfit.
897
01:09:33,001 --> 01:09:34,293
- I'll keep that in mind.
- Yeah.
898
01:09:34,377 --> 01:09:35,836
- Is that it?
- That's it.
899
01:09:36,463 --> 01:09:38,630
- [Ben] Come.
- [George] Holy smokes.
900
01:09:38,715 --> 01:09:40,007
Hey, what do you think of the jacket?
901
01:09:40,091 --> 01:09:43,260
- Uh, you look like a... like a boat racer.
- [laughs]
902
01:09:43,344 --> 01:09:45,512
- Barbara thinks I look silly.
- How is Barbara?
903
01:09:45,597 --> 01:09:46,805
Oh, she's doing great. Thank you.
904
01:09:47,223 --> 01:09:49,141
Well, it certainly passes the eye test.
905
01:09:49,684 --> 01:09:50,726
[Ben] Mm-hmm.
906
01:09:50,810 --> 01:09:52,269
[George] What are you gonna call this one?
907
01:09:52,353 --> 01:09:53,562
[Ben] Blue Thunder.
908
01:09:53,646 --> 01:09:55,063
- [George] Blue Thunder.
- Blue Thunder.
909
01:09:55,148 --> 01:09:56,940
- Let's take her for a ride.
- Yeah, let's do it.
910
01:09:57,192 --> 01:10:00,694

[Lopez] Santa Anita,
big race track on the West Coast.
915
01:10:38,316 --> 01:10:40,818
And that's Gypsy Red winning
the Breeders Cup last spring.
916
01:10:40,902 --> 01:10:42,778
I remember. My source.
917
01:10:43,571 --> 01:10:45,197
Trained here at Ocala Stables.
918
01:10:45,281 --> 01:10:47,241
- Over 500 horses now.
- It's beautiful.
919
01:10:47,826 --> 01:10:49,576
Lansky's place, if we ever prove it.
920
01:10:49,661 --> 01:10:51,495
That's right. We're getting there.
921
01:10:52,789 --> 01:10:55,874
The Tricycle Club in California,
legalized card gambling.
922
01:10:55,959 --> 01:10:57,584
Bought for 30 million a year ago,
923
01:10:57,669 --> 01:10:59,419
and now worth five times that.
924
01:11:00,171 --> 01:11:01,380
What do they all have in common?
925
01:11:02,006 --> 01:11:04,341
Bought with loans
by the same bank in Liechtenstein.
926
01:11:04,425 --> 01:11:05,342
Same forms, even.
927
01:11:05,426 --> 01:11:08,512
Liechtenstein. Jesus.
The secrecy laws there.
928
01:11:08,596 --> 01:11:09,638
Hit the lights.
929
01:11:11,474 --> 01:11:13,934
[Lopez] This is the Isle of Man,
just off the coast of England.
930
01:11:14,519 --> 01:11:16,520
The money to Liechtenstein
comes from here.
931
01:11:17,272 --> 01:11:20,107
And this man is singing like a canary.
932
01:11:20,525 --> 01:11:21,859
And has the bank records to back it up.
933
01:11:23,027 --> 01:11:26,238
- Now, where's the trail start?
- It starts here.
934
01:11:26,322 --> 01:11:29,366
Deposit in the Cayman Islands
to a whole host of companies.
935
01:11:29,450 --> 01:11:32,244
But it's dope cash rolling in
every day by the wheelbarrow.
936
01:11:32,620 --> 01:11:34,454
Half a billion dollars last year alone.
937
01:11:34,539 --> 01:11:35,706
All cash.
938
01:11:35,790 --> 01:11:37,291
Here's how we think it lays out.
939
01:11:38,084 --> 01:11:40,586
From our investigation, a large network.
940
01:11:41,546 --> 01:11:44,423
Nice family. Who's the guy on top?
941
01:11:45,049 --> 01:11:47,384
That right there, that's Robbie Reemer.

[Ben] What is this?
"Let's snuff out the Cigarette. "

George Bush.

01:11:58,980 --> 01:12:01,982
We are pleased to place an initial order
945
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:04,818
for 100 Blue Thunder catamarans.
946
01:12:04,903 --> 01:12:06,862
Forget the royals and the celebs.
947
01:12:06,946 --> 01:12:08,780
We just got us some government money!

01:12:09,157 --> 01:12:14,036
Sincerely, William Van Raab,
Commissioner, U.S. Coast Guard.
949

Ten million dollars!
Couldn't get any richer!

01:12:18,708 --> 01:12:20,626
Well, break out the fuckin' champagne!

What'cha doin', bo-boo?
960
01:12:47,946 --> 01:12:51,448
Oh, you don't have a chance.
This is the Coast Guard.
961
01:12:51,532 --> 01:12:53,283
We're driving the Blue Thunder.

I am so proud of you, Ben Aronoff.

Not bad for the son of an immigrant,
from Sheepshead Bay, huh?
964
01:13:07,090 --> 01:13:10,217
Hmm, no. No, not bad at all.
965
01:13:10,301 --> 01:13:12,761
Now, you, you could've done better.
966
01:13:12,845 --> 01:13:16,098
- You could have had that King of Jordan.
- [she laughs]

You are my king.

I need your help on something.

Right there.
974

I'm not gonna sign over
Blue Thunder to you.

Huh?

Something better?
980
01:14:25,668 --> 01:14:27,210
Something special?
981
01:14:27,837 --> 01:14:29,880
You're just another guppy
in the food chain.

You're property, Ben.
All you've ever been.

01:14:59,035 --> 01:15:01,661
- [sighs]
- Sign.

Morning!
991
01:15:52,672 --> 01:15:53,797
Headed to the office.
992
01:15:55,591 --> 01:15:57,926
You don't have to sleep in the guest room
when you get home late at night.
993
01:15:59,929 --> 01:16:01,680
It makes me feel unwanted.
994
01:16:01,764 --> 01:16:04,266
I didn't want to wake you. I love you.
995
01:16:15,444 --> 01:16:16,695
You know the Blue Thunder deal?
996
01:16:17,238 --> 01:16:19,948
All that hoopla about catching
bad guys with better boats?
997
01:16:20,533 --> 01:16:21,867
I just got off with customs,
998
01:16:22,785 --> 01:16:24,244
and they've been asked
to make checks payable
999
01:16:24,328 --> 01:16:27,372
to a new company, Super Chief South.
1000
01:16:28,583 --> 01:16:29,875
Robbie Reemer owns that company.
1001
01:16:32,044 --> 01:16:34,087
So you're telling me the biggest
dope smuggler in the country
1002
01:16:34,172 --> 01:16:36,298
is in charge of building the boats
intended to catch him?
1003

[laughter]
1004
01:16:38,801 --> 01:16:41,344
I thought the Blue Thunder contract
went out to Ben Aronoff.
1005
01:16:41,929 --> 01:16:43,013
Yeah, it did.
1006
01:16:43,639 --> 01:16:46,057

01:17:28,559 --> 01:17:29,935
No reason to coat this, Ben,
1011
01:17:30,645 --> 01:17:33,521
but our Dade County guys
tell us the Feds are digging around,
1012
01:17:33,856 --> 01:17:35,065
looking into everything.
1013
01:17:35,149 --> 01:17:37,776
Dope-running, money, the whole operation.
1014
01:17:37,860 --> 01:17:40,278
A Grand Jury's collecting evidence
faster than we can clock it.
1015
01:17:40,363 --> 01:17:43,198
It's bad.
And it's moving right up our asses.
1016
01:17:45,159 --> 01:17:49,162
So you're all personally suspects?
1017
01:17:49,997 --> 01:17:51,831
Some fuckin' banker in Europe
1018
01:17:51,916 --> 01:17:54,751
is ratting us all the fuck out
for a fuckin' plea deal.
1019
01:17:56,295 --> 01:17:57,545
So what do you want me to do?
1020
01:17:59,173 --> 01:18:00,382
[scoffs]
1021
01:18:00,841 --> 01:18:04,886
How about some basic [yells] co-operation?
1022
01:18:05,263 --> 01:18:07,222
- Really?
- Really.
1023
01:18:08,891 --> 01:18:10,934
You know what?
You better bring your fuckin' goons here
1024
01:18:11,018 --> 01:18:13,103
'cause I'll cut your fuckin' heart out.
1025
01:18:13,437 --> 01:18:16,606
Get this asshole outta here,
or this meeting ends!
1026
01:18:16,691 --> 01:18:20,610
I'm not kidding! Get him out! Get out!
1027
01:18:20,695 --> 01:18:23,697
Fuckin' handle this. Handle this!
1028
01:18:33,874 --> 01:18:36,084
Look, Ben...
1029
01:18:38,045 --> 01:18:40,338
we need to put some assets
back under your name,
1030
01:18:40,423 --> 01:18:42,507
back under the purview of your companies.
1031
01:18:43,092 --> 01:18:46,761
Remove it from the Feds' reach...
for a period.
1032
01:18:47,972 --> 01:18:49,514
[laughs]
1033
01:18:49,598 --> 01:18:53,852
You guys are precious.
You really, really are precious.
1034
01:18:53,936 --> 01:18:55,228
This is serious, Ben.
1035
01:18:55,313 --> 01:18:56,313
Hmm.
1036
01:19:00,026 --> 01:19:02,319
Fuck it. Move the assets.
1037
01:19:03,029 --> 01:19:06,072
But you put every single one
of them in my name,
1038
01:19:06,157 --> 01:19:07,532
not my company's name.
1039
01:19:08,075 --> 01:19:10,535
And then good luck on getting them back.
1040
01:19:10,619 --> 01:19:11,995
Nobody's winning here, Ben.
1041
01:19:12,621 --> 01:19:14,581
We're just talking about surviving.
1042
01:19:15,458 --> 01:19:16,958
This is bigger than you,
1043
01:19:17,460 --> 01:19:19,878
or Robbie, or fuckin' anyone.
1044
01:19:20,963 --> 01:19:24,007
Well, guess what? It ain't my problem.
1045
01:19:42,902 --> 01:19:44,277
What have you got us into?
1046
01:19:47,656 --> 01:19:48,615
He has a gun.
1047
01:19:50,785 --> 01:19:53,411
- Where's Willie?
- He's in his room.
1048
01:19:54,413 --> 01:19:55,663
You go to him.
1049
01:19:56,624 --> 01:19:58,124
You go to him.
1050
01:20:06,884 --> 01:20:09,052
Nice place. Nice family.
1051
01:20:10,554 --> 01:20:12,138
I hate to see you lose it all.
1052
01:20:14,767 --> 01:20:16,017
Now it's my family?
1053
01:20:17,019 --> 01:20:18,728
You're gonna get subpoenaed,
1054
01:20:19,980 --> 01:20:22,190
and all kinds of people
are worried about it.
1055
01:20:23,025 --> 01:20:25,026
Worried about what you're gonna say.
1056
01:20:27,321 --> 01:20:28,696
But I tell them...
1057
01:20:29,615 --> 01:20:32,367
I'm sure old Ben's gonna play ball.
1058
01:20:32,451 --> 01:20:33,576
He's on the team.
1059
01:20:34,286 --> 01:20:36,788
That is what teammates do, right?
1060
01:20:37,373 --> 01:20:38,540
Get out.
1061
01:20:38,833 --> 01:20:41,126
- Get the fuck outta here.
- Good luck.
1062
01:20:46,257 --> 01:20:48,967
- You've been warned, Ben.
- Get the fuck out.
1063
01:20:53,347 --> 01:20:55,640
Tell me something. You owe me something.
1064
01:20:56,308 --> 01:20:58,435
I have to get you out of here.
1065
01:20:58,519 --> 01:21:01,312
I want you to get on the phone
and call your sister in New York
1066
01:21:01,397 --> 01:21:03,356
and tell her that you're on the way.
Just do that.
1067
01:21:03,441 --> 01:21:04,399
What is going on?
1068
01:21:04,483 --> 01:21:07,569
I will tell you everything
when you get to New York. I promise.
1069
01:21:08,237 --> 01:21:10,029
- I am scared.
- [sighs]
1070
01:21:10,114 --> 01:21:13,867
I am scared for you.
I am scared for all of us.
1071
01:21:13,951 --> 01:21:15,952
Don't be. Don't be.
1072
01:21:18,622 --> 01:21:22,917
- I love you.
- God. I love you, too.
1073
01:21:24,003 --> 01:21:25,128
Okay.
1074
01:21:37,475 --> 01:21:40,226
- Now, listen. Listen. Listen to me.
- [sighs]
1075
01:21:40,311 --> 01:21:41,644
We're gonna be fine.
1076
01:21:41,729 --> 01:21:45,398
I'll call your sister with the number
you can reach me. Okay?
1077
01:21:45,483 --> 01:21:47,150
I'll call you when I get in.
1078
01:21:47,610 --> 01:21:49,777
Okay. Okay. Go, go. Go.
1079
01:22:04,627 --> 01:22:07,086
Slow down. Slow down. Take it easy.
1080
01:22:20,309 --> 01:22:21,559
Don't alarm her.
1081
01:22:22,186 --> 01:22:24,312
Plenty of time
before we get to the causeway.
1082
01:23:14,655 --> 01:23:15,947
Stay with her.
1083
01:23:16,907 --> 01:23:19,284
Go, go, go, go. Don't let her go too far.
1084
01:23:54,528 --> 01:23:56,904
[music playing]
1085
01:24:08,751 --> 01:24:10,627
[phone rings]
1086
01:24:12,463 --> 01:24:13,921
- Emily.
- [Emily] Hey.
1087
01:24:14,006 --> 01:24:16,633
Oh, thank God. Hey, babe.
1088
01:24:16,717 --> 01:24:18,885
You're safe? No problems?
1089
01:24:18,969 --> 01:24:24,891
Yeah. Yeah, William's already in bed,
and Aunt Cynthia's been incredible.
1090
01:24:26,685 --> 01:24:28,853
Except, I think I forgot
what winter was like.
1091
01:24:28,937 --> 01:24:31,981
Yeah, man.
Oh, I used to hate Jersey winters.
1092
01:24:33,442 --> 01:24:36,194
Well, it's pretty here. You should come.
1093
01:24:36,278 --> 01:24:37,236
I can't, babe.
1094
01:24:38,238 --> 01:24:39,864
You know, I can't put you guys at risk.
1095
01:24:42,451 --> 01:24:44,202
So are you gonna tell me?
1096
01:24:46,955 --> 01:24:48,081
Okay, look.
1097
01:24:48,666 --> 01:24:52,460
Over the years, I did business
with a lot of shady guys, okay?
1098
01:24:53,003 --> 01:24:54,420
And I stepped on some toes.
1099
01:24:56,465 --> 01:24:58,091
I don't know what that means.
1100
01:24:58,550 --> 01:25:02,428
It means that I made promises
to people that I can no longer keep.
1101
01:25:02,513 --> 01:25:04,430
And it's come back to haunt me.
1102
01:25:06,392 --> 01:25:07,475
The guy in the living room?
1103
01:25:07,559 --> 01:25:11,688
The guy in the living room is just
one of a whole line of people
1104
01:25:11,772 --> 01:25:14,482
going all the way back
to my days in New Jersey.
1105
01:25:14,983 --> 01:25:17,694
- The mob?
- [sighs] Oh, fuck...
1106
01:25:18,946 --> 01:25:20,446
Okay, babe, listen.
1107
01:25:23,450 --> 01:25:25,743
There is a big court case.
1108
01:25:26,328 --> 01:25:28,079
A lot of people are gonna go down.
1109
01:25:28,163 --> 01:25:32,375
And the Feds are pushing hard
on everyone, including me.
1110
01:25:33,293 --> 01:25:34,210
So...
1111
01:25:34,628 --> 01:25:39,006
So, you and me, our lives,
it's just all been one big lie?
1112
01:25:39,842 --> 01:25:41,134
Babe, don't say that.
1113
01:25:41,677 --> 01:25:45,012
When I fuckin' saw you,
I dropped to my knees.
1114
01:25:45,097 --> 01:25:46,431
You fuckin' stoned me.
1115
01:25:47,683 --> 01:25:49,642
You're the one who cleared up my life.
1116
01:25:52,563 --> 01:25:53,604
Then run.
1117
01:25:53,689 --> 01:25:55,398
I can't do that now, babe.
1118
01:25:55,858 --> 01:25:57,108
I'm a fighter too, Ben.
1119
01:25:57,192 --> 01:26:00,069
If you're in a fight,
I wanna be right at your side.
1120
01:26:03,198 --> 01:26:04,407
Just hang in there.
1121
01:26:05,159 --> 01:26:06,617
Hang in there for me, baby.
1122
01:26:08,954 --> 01:26:10,037
I love you.
1123
01:26:14,543 --> 01:26:15,793
[sighs]
1124
01:26:20,132 --> 01:26:21,924
[phone rings]
1125
01:26:30,851 --> 01:26:31,809
Yeah?
1126
01:26:33,687 --> 01:26:34,812
Hey.
1127
01:26:35,981 --> 01:26:37,023
Uh-huh.
1128
01:26:38,233 --> 01:26:39,400
Uh-huh.
1129
01:26:40,277 --> 01:26:41,360
Where?
1130
01:26:44,198 --> 01:26:45,531
What's the name?
1131
01:26:58,378 --> 01:27:01,005
Okay, Dutch.
It's a straight shot down to 75.
1132
01:27:01,381 --> 01:27:04,091
It's a little bend in Orlando,
but we don't change highways, so...
1133
01:27:04,468 --> 01:27:06,677
- Okay.
- Yeah. Take it easy.
1134
01:27:08,347 --> 01:27:14,101
- Hey. Come on.
- What? No tickets.
1135
01:27:14,186 --> 01:27:17,522
- No tickets.
- No tickets.
1136
01:27:17,898 --> 01:27:21,400
- No tickets!
- [laughs] Yeah, no tickets.
1137
01:27:21,485 --> 01:27:23,027
[chuckles]
1138
01:27:23,111 --> 01:27:26,113
- That means the cops are...
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember.
1139
01:27:50,347 --> 01:27:51,806
[knocking]
1140
01:28:02,860 --> 01:28:06,988
- Morning.
- Morning. Agent...?
1141
01:28:07,072 --> 01:28:08,656
- Lopez.
- Ah!
1142
01:28:09,575 --> 01:28:11,534
- It's been a while, hasn't it?
- Yes.
1143
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:15,705
A couple of goombahs wound up
in the E.R. last night.
1144
01:28:15,831 --> 01:28:19,458
Smashed into by a Ford Bronco.
Thought you might know something about it.
1145
01:28:23,922 --> 01:28:26,424
I... ran your plates.
1146
01:28:26,508 --> 01:28:29,635
Put the word out, called around,
and bingo.
1147
01:28:30,304 --> 01:28:32,555
It's kinda weird to find
a Mercedes in this parking lot.
1148
01:28:32,973 --> 01:28:36,392
Although, more likely to find
Robbie Reemer with a couple of hookers.
1149
01:28:36,935 --> 01:28:40,813
- What do you want?
- I'm just curious.
1150
01:28:41,356 --> 01:28:45,109
You know, I really am,
'cause your name keeps popping up
1151
01:28:45,193 --> 01:28:47,194
all over this big-ass investigation.
1152
01:28:48,572 --> 01:28:51,949
You know, a guy who was friends
with kings and queens,
1153
01:28:52,034 --> 01:28:54,035
and a goddamn Vice-President,
1154
01:28:54,119 --> 01:28:58,331
sells his multi-million-dollar government
contract to a mobbed up hustler?
1155
01:28:59,041 --> 01:29:02,376
- It's just business.
- Just business?
1156
01:29:04,713 --> 01:29:07,465
Look, you know, I read this book
once by a Jewish guy.
1157
01:29:08,091 --> 01:29:12,720
He said, "People who have a why to live
can bear almost anything. "
1158
01:29:13,388 --> 01:29:14,388
What's your why, Ben?
1159
01:29:15,641 --> 01:29:17,058
Let me tell you something.
1160
01:29:17,643 --> 01:29:21,228
Sometimes it doesn't matter
who you are or what you have.
1161
01:29:21,980 --> 01:29:23,898
It's just too hard to say no.
1162
01:29:25,984 --> 01:29:28,653
Do you have a plan?
'Cause you're in with a rough crowd.
1163
01:29:29,071 --> 01:29:32,698
- You can help us, and we can help you.
- [scoffs]
1164
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:35,993
Water's calmed down,
we just gotta stay in the boat.
1165
01:29:37,287 --> 01:29:38,204
Hang on.
1166
01:29:39,164 --> 01:29:40,331
That's a risky bet.
1167
01:29:41,083 --> 01:29:42,917
I've been winning with it my whole life.
1168
01:29:43,377 --> 01:29:47,380
Now, if you're not going to arrest me,
you have a nice day.
1169
01:30:02,062 --> 01:30:04,271
[Shelley] Hey, buddy, there he is.
1170
01:30:04,690 --> 01:30:07,400
[sighs] Secret rendezvous on the beach.
1171
01:30:08,777 --> 01:30:09,819
Black.
1172
01:30:12,739 --> 01:30:14,865
I spoke to my buddy at the D.A.'s office.
1173
01:30:14,950 --> 01:30:16,158
They won't confirm anything.
1174
01:30:17,536 --> 01:30:19,495
On the other hand, they would
have told me to take a hike
1175
01:30:19,579 --> 01:30:20,746
if the subpoena wasn't coming.
1176
01:30:22,958 --> 01:30:24,208
If it's typed, it's ripe.
1177
01:30:24,751 --> 01:30:26,377
You're getting served, buddy-o, tomorrow.
1178
01:30:26,461 --> 01:30:27,878
[sighs]
1179
01:30:28,588 --> 01:30:32,508
- That's actually great news.
- Really? How's that?
1180
01:30:32,926 --> 01:30:35,136
Once you get served,
they'll keep you safe.
1181
01:30:35,220 --> 01:30:38,764
The Reemers, whoever, they're not
gonna touch you once that happens.
1182
01:30:39,349 --> 01:30:41,892
They'll bring the Feds
and the Miami-Dade P.D.
1183
01:30:42,477 --> 01:30:43,978
Dirty as they are, no one wants that.
1184
01:30:44,938 --> 01:30:47,982
25 years
of your giving me high-end advice,
1185
01:30:48,066 --> 01:30:52,862
and it all boils down to "Stick around
till you get served. " [sighs]
1186
01:30:52,946 --> 01:30:54,030
That's the ticket.
1187
01:30:54,114 --> 01:30:57,116
Here's something.
Now, you're involved in this, too.
1188
01:31:02,998 --> 01:31:05,958
All right, I'll tell you what.
Head back to your office,
1189
01:31:06,376 --> 01:31:08,085
grab your cash, anything you want,
1190
01:31:08,503 --> 01:31:11,505
meet me at the Hollywood Marina,
we'll take my boat and just...
1191
01:31:12,132 --> 01:31:15,384
just disappear for the day.
All right? We'll wait it out.
1192
01:31:15,469 --> 01:31:20,389
Just two good ol' boys gone fishing.
[sighs] Sounds good.
1193
01:31:38,742 --> 01:31:42,620
Millie, it's me.
Anyone there I should know about?
1194
01:31:42,704 --> 01:31:44,789
Nothing moving but the waves, Ben.
1195
01:31:44,873 --> 01:31:45,915
Good.
1196
01:31:56,968 --> 01:31:58,719
[shower running]
1197
01:32:51,481 --> 01:32:52,648
Can I help you?
1198
01:32:53,150 --> 01:32:56,026
[man] I'm lookin', uh, for Ben Aronoff.
1199
01:32:57,487 --> 01:32:58,571
I'm afraid he's not in.
1200
01:32:58,822 --> 01:33:00,072
Huh.
1201
01:33:01,908 --> 01:33:05,035
I've been trying to reach him for a week,
but he hasn't gotten back to me.
1202
01:33:05,620 --> 01:33:07,913
I call, and I call, and I call.
1203
01:33:10,125 --> 01:33:14,795
[sighs] Now, look, my boss
is a very wealthy man
1204
01:33:14,880 --> 01:33:17,840
who wants to buy a boat. [chuckles]
1205
01:33:17,924 --> 01:33:21,051
And he wants to buy the boat
before he goes back to Michigan.
1206
01:33:21,136 --> 01:33:23,345
Now, look, I'm just trying to give
this man some money.
1207
01:33:23,805 --> 01:33:24,847
I'm Ben.
1208
01:33:26,641 --> 01:33:29,560
Why don't you bring your boss in,
we'll show him some boats,
1209
01:33:29,644 --> 01:33:31,395
and he can see what he likes?
1210
01:33:31,479 --> 01:33:32,479
My boss...
1211
01:33:34,399 --> 01:33:35,566
took me from the gutter,
1212
01:33:36,735 --> 01:33:37,860
gave me a job.
1213
01:33:39,404 --> 01:33:43,908
Everything I have, everything I am,
I owe to him.
1214
01:33:44,451 --> 01:33:46,076
I'd do anything for my boss.
1215
01:33:47,370 --> 01:33:50,372
Anything... and everything.
1216
01:33:51,917 --> 01:33:54,710
I'd never turn my back on my boss.
1217
01:33:58,298 --> 01:34:01,050
You tell your boss that I'm done.
1218
01:34:03,053 --> 01:34:05,471
I don't owe anybody anything.
1219
01:34:06,431 --> 01:34:08,974
I'm paid in full and more so.
1220
01:34:10,810 --> 01:34:12,853
- You tell him that.
- I'll tell him.
1221
01:34:14,022 --> 01:34:15,397
I'll tell him every word.
1222
01:35:22,549 --> 01:35:23,465
Hey, Ben.
1223
01:36:13,641 --> 01:36:20,105
[watch ticking]
1224
01:36:20,190 --> 01:36:21,732
[ticking stops]
1225
01:36:31,618 --> 01:36:35,371
I'm Ben Aronoff.
I was on top of the world.
1226
01:36:36,081 --> 01:36:39,541
I loved, I created, I won.
1227
01:36:40,627 --> 01:36:42,252
It was one hell of a race.
1228
01:36:43,171 --> 01:36:46,256
[reporter 1] Internationally known
race-boat designer, Don Aronow,
1229
01:36:46,341 --> 01:36:48,425
was shot to death
this afternoon outside...
1230
01:36:48,510 --> 01:36:51,553
[reporter 2]... two-time world offshore
powerboat racing champion...
1231
01:36:51,638 --> 01:36:53,680
[reporter 3]... pronounced dead
at about 5:00...
1232
01:36:53,765 --> 01:36:55,015
[reporter 4]
... the Godfather, that is him.
1233
01:36:55,100 --> 01:36:58,102
You could call him the Henry Ford
of powerboats. He is the man...
1234
01:36:58,186 --> 01:37:01,814
[reporter 5]... starting up and developing
the sport of offshore powerboat racing...
1235
01:37:01,898 --> 01:37:02,981
[reporter 6]... raced his creations
1236
01:37:03,066 --> 01:37:05,317
to three national
and two world championships.
1237
01:37:05,402 --> 01:37:08,987
His friends are badly shaken,
unable to understand why anyone would...
