Caesar has been called to the site of one of his many construction contracts. Johnny "Jersey John" Salerno is on the site in a heated argument with the site Forman over some missing cases of expensive floor tiles that were to be used in the office building they are building. Caesar gets out of his truck and hears them in a heat argument. Caesar walks over to the Forman and begins talking to him.

Caesar: What seems to be the problem guys?

Forman: This fuckin asshole ripped off 12 cases of floor tile from the site last night and now we can't finish on time cause this idiot has set us back. Those tiles are specially ordered from Germany!

Caesar: What makes you think that John had anything to do with this?

Forman: Come on... don't give me that garbage. I know what you guys are all about. I know how this shit works.

Caesar grabs the Forman and drags him behind the Office trailer and slams him up against the wall.

Caesar: Good! Now listen to me you little fuck! You know exactly how shit works, so you can turn a blind eye or I will take the fuckin thing right out of your head!

As he is telling him this, John shoves a gun into the stomach of the Forman.

Jersey John: You understand now how this works? You keep ordering the shit, I will keep taking what I want and the insurance can pay for it, Capische?

Forman: (Reluctantly) I understand, I was stupid to think otherwise.

Caesar: If I ever get called back to this site again, they will be finding pieces of you in dumpsters all over this fuckin city you ignorant cocksucker!

With that, Caesar punches the Forman in the stomach and leaves him doubled up in pain as they both walk away from him and the scene ends.

Scene 2: CW State Pen

Joe is sitting at a table playing cards with Jay. Several men are seated at various tables around them. As they are playing, a man is seen walking over to them. His name is Benjamin "Bullseye" Pappalia, son of deceased Degrazzio Soldier, John Pappalia. He is getting released today but has info for Jay before he goes. As he approaches, 4 of the men stand up and get directly between him and Joe and Jay. The man looks over at Joe and Joe waves the men off. He comes over and Joe motions for him to sit down.

Joe: What ya got for me?

Bullseye: Word on the street just came in. Your boy Gunner is singing like a bird to the feds, telling them anything and everything he can remember or make up about the family.

Jay: You sure about this?

Bullseye: Word came from my cousin who is fuckin some chick who works at CWFBI headquarters. She printed him up a memo she intercepted that mentions Gunner as a possible cooperation witness.

Jay: Mother fucker! I knew you should have killed that fuck years ago.

Joe: Don't put that shit on me, you never complained about the fat envelopes he put in your pocket!

As they are talking, one of the guards comes over to talk to Joe. He leans down and whispers in Joe's ear. A look of concern comes over Joe and the guard walks away. Joe looks at Jay and without a word, Jay knows something is wrong. He motions for everyone to leave them. Once they are alone, Jay turns to Joe.

Jay: What's wrong?

Joe: Mom died last night.

Jay: You fuckin serious?

Joe: You even need to ask?

Both of the brothers sit there in silence. A single tear can be seen flowing down Joe's face as the scene fades to black.

Scene 3: Jay's Lawyer's office the next day.

Jay's lawyer is on the phone trying to negotiate some special time for Jay and Joe to go to their mother's funeral. He is pacing back and forth with the phone held firmly to his ear. His other hand is waving in the air and he is ranting and raving with the District Attorney's office on the other end.

Jay's Lawyer: For god sake man, all I am asking is for 3 bloody hours so these gentlemen can bury their mother!

District Attorney: I realize that but these two men have an extremely high chance of flight if we allow this to happen.

Jay's Lawyer: Are you friggin kidding me? Neither of them has ever missed a single court date or failed to show when they were asked. I see no reason at all why these two men should not be allowed to go to their own mother's funeral. If you do not want to allow it, then perhaps I should put in a call to Judge DeWitt and ask him why my clients cannot get released long enough to bury their mother!

District Attorney: I'm afraid you may just have to do that sir. Good day to you!

The sound of the phone can be heard hanging up and Jay's Lawyer slams the phone down

Jay's Lawyer: Fuck! (Let's out a sigh) I tried fella's.

The scene ends as Jay's lawyer picks up the phone and starts calling the CW Federal Pen to inform Jay of the bad news.

Scene 4: Johny's Bar.

Johny Fingers is sitting at a table flanked by Steve Mazzone, Joey Merlino and Rocco Salieri. In the corner you can see Crystal Genovese, Carlo Catone and Santino Gomezabino playing cards while Slick Rick is pouring everyone drinks. The music is kept to a dull roar and the closed sign is on the door. The camera pans over to John's table and you can see that the four of them are deep in conversation.

John: Rocco, you and Joey go out to the airport tonight. I want you to pick up Lady Gambale.

Mazzone: Gambale? Why is she coming out here?

John: The Ole man and her go way back. She is going to bring us some news on the whereabouts of Charlie.

Merlino: Last time I heard that name, rumor had it that she was in a position to take over the entire Pappalia Family.

John: She did. It's now the Gambale family.

Mazzone: Well then I think I should go with them and make sure she has enough protection.

John reaches over and puts his hand on Steve's arm.

John: The Ole man has a piece of work for you to do Steve.

Steve: You know me. I am always up for the job.

John: We got a few businesses down on the waterfront that have been late in payment 3 weeks in a row now. Up until know we brushed it off as slow weeks but recently we got word that they been getting squeezed by some cop  by the name of Barnaby.

Mazzone: Ok, so I go down there and grease this prick and it's done!

John: Not that easy.

Mazzone: What you mean?

John: the Boss want's it to look like an accident. He hangs out down at the donut hut every night at 8 o'clock. Go down there tonight and get it done. But remember, it has to look like an accident!

Mazzone: It's done!

The Scene fades to black.

Scene 5: The CW International Airport.

Joey and Rocco are waiting in the terminal for Lady Gambale's plane to arrive. They are flanked By Crystal Genovese, Slick Rick and Tony Leone. As they are all talking they hear the announcement of Gambale's flight arrival. They all straighten up and wait for her to come through the doors. Several minutes later she appears with 2 other men with her. She walks up and Joey steps forward to introduce himself.

Joey: Lady Gambale, it is a an honor to meet someone such as you. I am Joseph Merlino.

Lady: Nice to meet you Joseph, this is Billy Caputo and Bullseye Pappalia.

Joey: This is Crystal Genovese, Rocco Salieri, Rick Gomezabino and Anthony Leone.

After they all shake hands and greet each other they all leave the terminal and get into a stretch limo which Johny had sent to the airport. On their way to see Johny they begin talking in the car.

Joey: So you guys are here to help us with that rat problem we got?

Lady: Let's just wait til we see Johny.

Crystal: So is it true that you tried to kill Totino a few years back?

Lady looks at Crystal with an uncertainty to her question. Bullseye and Billy look as if they will leap at Crystal on the drop of a hat. Lady looks at Crystal with a smile on her face.

Lady: My dear, I assure you..If I tried to kill him, he would be dead.

With that they all break into laughter, all except Crystal who sits in the car and stays silent for the remainder of the trip.

The scene fades to black as the car drives off in the distance.

Scene 6: Allie Boy's Donut Shop 7:45pm.

Barnaby is walking up the street. He pauses long enough to put out his cigarette before he enters the donut shop. As he enters, the young woman behind the counter waves at him and prepares his usual cup of coffee and Boston cream donut. She hands it to him and he takes a seat on one of the many empty stools locate at the counter. He strikes up a conversation with the young woman as he eats and drinks. Meanwhile, across the street, Mazzone is watching Barnaby like a hawk.

He is brainstorming trying to think of a way to kill him and make it look like an accident. He notices that Barnaby's truck is parked at the top of a steep hill that goes up to the donut shop. Mazzone sneaks over to Barnaby's truck. He slides under the truck. The night is dark enough that you can barley make out the silhouette of Mazzone under the vehicle. He finds the brake lines and uses his multi tool to loosen the brake lines enough to fall off when Barnaby tries to apply pressure. He get's out from under the car and makes his way back to the other side of the street.

He get's into his car and sits and waits for Barnaby to come out of the donut shop. around 9:25pm Barnaby finally rolls out of the shop. He stops and lights up a cigarette and chats with a man seated on the bench outside the shop. They talk for a bit and laugh out loud as they tell jokes for a bit.

Barnaby: Everyday I come here Willie, you are on this same bench drinking the same brand of Whiskey. How many times you gotta be told about drinking in public?

Willie: Hey hey hey, I was not drinking in public! I was drinking in my house! My wife threw me into public!

They both burst into laughter once more. Mazzone is visibly nervous and would like nothing more than to just get out of the car and blast Barnaby away but he holds his temper and remains watching.

Barnaby finally finishes talking to the man on the bench and puts out his cigarette. He get's into his car and buckles in. He starts the car and drives off as Mazzone watches. Barnaby starts gliding down the hill to the four way stop at the bottom. As he is going down the hill he begins to pick up speed. He goes to hit the brakes but the pedal goes to the floor. He stomps it repeatedly but to no avail. He is panicking now as the car is racing down the hill at over 80 miles an hour. He sails through the four way stop without hitting a single car but he is picking up even more speed. the car starts to zig and zag as he is losing control. He is heading straight for the docks. As he comes sailing down the rest of the hill the truck hits a curb and the truck is sent sailing into the air hitting another truck head causing both vehicles to burst into flames.

Mazzone pulls up in his car and watches as people stand by helplessly as the screams of Barnaby can be heard coming from the burning wreckage. His screams go on for about a minute then they go silent as people look on in horror. Mazzone just smiles and drives off.

End of scene.

Scene 7: John's Bar

John and Lady are in the back office talking as the rest of the crew are in the bar having drinks and getting to know each other. The camera pans into the office where John and Lady are seated at John's desk.

John: First of all, let me just say that we appreciate you helping us on this matter. You know those mother fuckers wouldn't even let the brother's out for their mother's funeral?

Lady: You gotta be kiddin me!

John: There were hundreds of people there. Everyone was wondering where they were. It was heart breaking.

Lady: I remember when my father went. My uncle Sam wasn't allowed to go either. He was killed while trying to escape to go to my father's funeral. Even in death, my uncle was loyal.

John: (Reaches over and touches Lady's hand) We're a dying breed my friend. So let's get to business. Charlie needs to go but we aint been able to get close to him. The feds have him hiding somewhere and we can't seem to get anything from anyone.

Lady: I know, otherwise I wouldn't be here.

John looks at her and smiles and he grabs his drink and slowly takes a drink. He sets the drink down and waits patiently for Lady to speak.

Lady: I got a friend at CWFBI headquarters. He doesn't have the location yet, but as soon as he does, he will be contacting me.

John: How da fuck did you get a Fed in your pocket?

Lady: He got into some trouble gambling on football. HE came to me to help him out. We got to know each other, (she starts to giggle) We made some films..

John: Uh..Where you going with this?

Lady: Long story short.. he's married with 3 kids and his wife happens to be the daughter of the CWFBI Deputy Director.

John starts to break into laughter.

John: You really are an evil bitch aren't you?

Lady: (Smiles) I will take that as a compliment Johny Boy!

As they are talking, Lady's cell phone begins to ring. She holds up her hand to stop the conversation.

Lady: I gotta take this, it's him.

John: Go Ahead.

John gets up and walks over and pours himself another drink as Lady begins to talk on the phone. She talks for a few minutes and then ends the call and turns to face John.

Lady: We know where Gunner is!
