"Local street cops, Feds, whatever." "We were throwing money around like crazy." "And then there was those trips to Miami." "We were getting into the jai alai racket with John Callahan and an individual named Brian Halloran." "Jimmy never really trusted him." "I swear to God, I'll shoot youse both in the face." "[woman screams]" "For obvious reasons." "But he didn't think he could make the deal without him." "So..." "MCGUIRE:" "Right now, Connolly, Bulger and his crew are swanning around Southie like a bunch of fucking Vikings, raping and pillaging, and we can't touch them because they're no longer criminals." "They're professional criminal consultants." "But my question to you is, have they actually given us one concrete fucking thing that we can move on?" "Just give me a fucking break!" "After the desert you been walking through?" "This is your ticket to the big time." "And all you can do is fucking bitch." "All right, you fucking listen to me, John." "We have given Bulger miles and miles of leeway, and so far, he's given us dick in return." "I need a wire inside Angiulo's headquarters." "That fucker's been moving around so much," "I need to know specifically where his fucking headquarters even are, and the fact that we don't makes us look like a bunch of fucking Keystone Cops." "I need evidence that I can present to the federal prosecutor." "And you'll get it." "You got two weeks." "That's fucking it!" "Then I pull the plug." "[door slams]" "JIMMY:" "Are you telling me that your fucking boys at the Bureau can't find Angiulo's place?" "For fuck's sake, everyone in Boston knows where the guy is!" "The fucker keeps moving all over the North End." "I need specifics, Jimmy." "Not tomorrow, not next week... now." "Today." "I need to get a wire inside Angiulo's headquarters, or I can't keep protecting you." "It's that simple." "All right." "But I need you to do something for me." "You want a fucking wiretap or not?" "Jesus, Jimmy." "Jimmy." "[sighs]" "I want all of Angiulo's vending machines out of the Old Colony." "I don't care how you do it." "I just want 'em gone." "Do you follow?" "Do you fucking follow?" "All right, then." "When you leave for work tomorrow morning, after you've gone for your jog down Silver Street... after you stopped at McNulty's for a black coffee and a Danish, after you read the Sports page, after you kissed Marianne goodbye," "you walk straight out your door to your car, which is parked in the same fuckin' spot it's always parked in... right before you put your keys into the ignition, maybe have a look in the glove box." "There just might be an early Christmas present in there for you." "What's this?" "Gentlemen, this is intel, from our source in Winter Hill." "FITZPATRICK:" "Holy shit." "98 Prince Street." "Angiulo Family headquarters." "Fuck me." "Yeah, "fuck me" and fuck you is right." "An hour ago, I got a wet shave in a barbershop right across from 98 Prince in the heart of the North End, and within 15 minutes, I saw Mikey Angiulo," "Bobby Carozza, and one Vincent "The Animal" Ferrara" " all go inside." " Jesus, John." "Do you want to talk about who's a valuable asset, Charles?" "In five fucking years of nobodies with Scotch on their breath giving us shit... not a goddamn thing." "And giving them 40 bucks to go around the corner and get drunk and dick us around?" "Fuck that." "This, on the other hand, is the kind of intel we get from James "Whitey" Bulger, gentlemen." "No one else." "FLEMMI:" "Jimmy always had a plan." "Like him giving up Angiulo's address at 98 Prince Street." "Now, that was a smart play because it kept Connolly, you know, off our backs." "We had stuff going on in Florida." "Situation down there was changing, and not for the better." "CHAIRMAN:" "World Jai Alai would like to introduce its new owner," "C.E.O. and Chief Operating Officer Roger Wheeler." " Roger?" " Thank you, Alan." "It's an exciting time for Jai Alai, and I'm honored to be part of its growth and expansion here in South Florida." "John Callahan has us poised for great success." "FLEMMI:" "I can't believe people pay to watch this shit." "Well, they fucking love it, Stevie." "They fucking love to bet on it." "That's making us very rich." "But who knows for how much longer with Wheeler moving in?" "Guy's a fucking double-barreled prick." "But at least we still got this." "Oh, no, no, no." "You give that to Kevin, not me." "All right." "FLEMMI:" "So, what's the problem with this Wheeler guy?" "What's his deal?" "He's got CPAs crawling all up my ass, all over the books, checking every fucking thing." "The cash flow, the free meals, the parking-lot receipts." "Just a matter of time before he finds out how much cash is missing." "Just make him an offer for the company." "Tried." "Won't sell." "Would his widow sell?" "FLEMMI:" "Maybe she could be persuaded." "Maybe balloonhead over here..." "you could do us a favor." " Who, me?" " Yeah." "Sure." "Whatever you say, Stevie." "But, you know, there must be some other way." "Yeah, but you don't get rid of him, how's he supposed to go away?" "What's the downside of this thing, John?" "There is no downside, Stevie." "And the upside is, we get our cut and keep printing money." "I mean, what's to connect you to anything that happens to Wheeler?" "He lives in Tulsa, for fuck's sake!" "Everybody knows we have World Jai Alai." "Who's "everybody"?" "We're fucking everybody." "Brian." "Take the bag." "I want you to have it." "Yeah." "I want you to have it." "No." "Lot of money in that bag, Jimmy." "I know exactly how much money's in that fucking bag." "Brian, take the bag and get out of here." "To do the hit on... on Wheeler?" "No." "That's $20,000 for you to not do the hit." "[chuckles]" "I don't get it." "Take the money, keep your fucking mouth shut about what you just heard." "It's best you're not involved." "Take the fucking money." "Take the fucking money." "Take the fucking money." "Okay." "Um... so I should go now?" "Yeah, you should go now." "[laughs]" "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Listen, I know you guys have your ways and everything like that, don't you?" "But don't ever hand me a bag of fucking money in public." "I'm sorry, Jimmy." "I just, I thought that..." "No, I know." "I get it." "It's all right." "Don't sweat it." "But I mean..." "All right." "Never again." "But we're good with Wheeler, right?" "[chuckles]" "MAN:" "Afternoon, Mr. Wheeler!" "Howdy." "Roger Wheeler?" " [gunshot] - [children screaming]" "GENNARO:" "What the fuck is this jai alai thing that Whitey's got his fingers into all of a sudden?" "What is this bullshit?" "MAN:" "That's the word on the street." "Looks like a stupid fucking game, you ask me." "Yeah, well, I'll tell ya." "I don't picture Bulger going all the way out to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to kill somebody." "But then again, he's such a sick little fuck." "And that stupid half-breed buddy of his, Flemmi." "The two of them, they'll go anywhere, anytime and whack anybody out if there's a few bucks in it for them." "MORRIS:" "I got to shut this fucking thing down, John." "Now we got people on tape talking about how Whitey and Flemmi committed murder." "That is a big fucking problem." "That tape is just gangsters talking shit like little fucking housewives." "Yeah, maybe." "But I got to tell you something." "McGuire is gonna start asking questions." "That is why I'm gonna file it very deep." "All right?" "Problem gone." "Gone." "That's against protocol." "Fuck protocol." "Fuck it." "It's a little lie, a little white lie to protect the bigger truth." "You know what Jimmy has given us." "A gold mine." "And do you want to be the person that jeopardizes that?" "We are bringing down the house, man." "La Cosa Nostra." "So just relax." "Relax." "I'll handle it." "It's on me." "I got this." "Authorities in Tulsa, Oklahoma, are still sifting through clues in the murder of Roger Wheeler, head of the Telex Corporation." " Today, Telex offered a large reward..." " Turn it up." "...for information leading to the arrest of the killer." "Hey!" "Turn it the fuck up!" "...Wheeler's more controversial business holdings." "Sandy Gilmore has a report." "GILMORE:" "Roger Wheeler was gunned down at close range as he left his weekly golf game." "Wheeler was a self-made, hard-driving entrepren... [retching]" "What do you want, huh?" "[sniffs]" "This meeting between Rizzo and Sal Manzinni." "The walk-in in Interview 3 says Whitey Bulger killed Roger Wheeler." "Gentlemen, this is Brian Halloran." "You have something you want to tell us?" "[door closes]" "There's a lot I can tell you." "I need guarantees first." "CONNOLLY:" "Fuck you." "You don't get no guarantees." "You talk or you walk." "[sighs]" "Okay." "Whitey Bulger planned to murder Roger Wheeler, that jai alai dude from Tulsa." "It's been on the news and everything." " Tulsa?" " Mm-hmm." "Oh." "So, what does some random jai alai guy in Tulsa have to do with Whitey Bulger?" "Whitey was pulling down some serious coin in jai alai until Wheeler bought the fucking thing, and he didn't want to cut Whitey in for a piece." "So..." "You two know anything about this?" "Psh." "Go on." "Bulger paid me 20 grand to keep quiet about the hit." "Listen, you got to protect me." "'Cause if you don't, I'm fuckin' dead!" "What weapon was used on Wheeler?" "How should I know?" "I didn't do the hit." "Johnny Martorano did." "How do you know it was Martorano?" "Look, I make my living on the streets, okay?" "All right?" "I know these things." "Hey, look!" "Look at me!" "You got to protect me." "Well, so far, you haven't given us anything to merit protection." "Are you fuckin' deaf?" "I just gave you two fucking names!" "Where was this so-called meeting taking place?" "You..." "All right, all right." "Okay." "I'm in Miami, I hear Jimmy's in town, and I tag along to a little spot with Steve Flemmi, Jimmy, and this other guy... guy, Callahan." "And I'm just minding my own fucking business, and then Callahan says that he thinks that Wheeler is gonna be a problem." "And then Jimmy says," ""Do you think his widow would be willing" " to sell the franchise?"" " His widow?" "Mm-hmm." "We all know what that means, right?" "And then Flemmi asked me if I could take care of it." "Would you take a lie detector?" "Okay." " Yeah?" " No." "'Cause then you might start asking me other questions." "Right?" "And next thing I know, boom!" "You got me on like 15 other things I didn't even do!" ""Boom"?" "What did you not do, Brian?" "Did you not kill your drug dealers in a Chinese restaurant?" "'Cause that's why you're really here." "That's all over the fucking street, so you thought you'd come in here and try and cop some immunity before the fact." "That's what's really going on, isn't it, you coke-snorting piece of shit?" "FITZPATRICK:" "Connolly?" "I'm a fuckin' dead man!" "What do you think?" "I don't believe a fucking word that guy says." "I say we cut him loose." "He's a drug addict." "Morris?" "Yeah." "He won't take a polygraph?" "Cut him loose." "Yeah." "[bagpipes playing]" "BILLY:" "Our dear Saint Patrick... he fought off the British and the Romans," " brutal outsiders who wanted to enslave - _ the good people of Ireland." "And, today... well, today, we Bostonians face a similar invasion." "Drugs, violent crimes ravaging our communities." "You know, today we fight a new fight, a fight so our children and their children, and children for generations to come can share the Boston we hold so dear in our hearts." "So today, to all snakes, we say, "Get the hell out of Boston!"" ""You'll find no shelter here!"" "To Saint Patrick!" "[bagpipes playing]" "Let's hear it for these boys!" "Come on, now!" "Billy boy!" "Billy boy!" "Give them a hand!" "Jimmy!" "Where the fuck have you been?" "I been looking for you everywhere." "Oh, hey." "Come here with me." "Come here." "Don't you fucking ever talk to me in public like that again." "Did you kill Roger Wheeler?" "The businessman from Tulsa." "Did you have him killed?" "Why the fuck would I go to Tulsa to kill some fucking prick I don't even know?" "That's bad for fuckin' business." "I know that you have a hand in the World Jai Alai." "Huh?" "And suddenly, the new owner gets shot." "I suggest you think these things through before you make unfounded accusations against me." "All right, all right." "Just..." "By the way, let me ask you a question." "How did you know we was involved in jai alai?" "[marching band plays]" "Happy Saint Patrick's Day." "How are you?" "Everybody always commented on my work, right." " Sure, they did." " They did!" "They did!" "I was in the low post, I was driving it in hard, like fuckin' McHale!" "How could you fuckin' take that?" " I was!" " You got short arms!" "I don't got short arms." "You know who had short arms?" "Nate "Tiny" Archibald had short arms." "So there's hope." " [gunshot, glass shatters]" " Ah, fuck!" "Fuck!" "Oh, God!" " [gunshot]" " Oh, God!" "Jimmy!" "[gasping]" "[tires screech] [gunshots]" "[groaning] [screams]" "[screaming]" "Jimmy!" "No!" "[sobbing] No, no, no, no!" "No, no, no, no, no!" "[wailing] No!" "[screams]" "MAN:" "What the hell happened?" "Get back inside!" "[indistinct shouting]" "Yeah, yeah, call the police!" "Morris!" "Connolly!" "Brian Halloran was just gunned down in broad fucking daylight." "You want to tell me how the fuck you just let him walk out the door?" "We're not running a hotel, Charles." "The guy wouldn't even take a polygraph test." "How did word even leak that Halloran was in here?" "Huh?" "Are you pointing the finger at me?" "Should I be?" "I don't know, Charles." "You know, people talk." "What are we supposed to do?" "Put this piece of shit in a witness protection program when we can't even validate a single fucking thing he says?" "And you're pointing the finger at me?" "I'm trying to bring down the Italian Mafia with the help of Jimmy Bulger, and you're pointing the finger at fucking me?" "Fuck you!" "Hey." "You motherfuckers from Southie have some kind of sick faggot love for each other?" "Did you just call me a faggot, huh?" "That's it." "That's it." "Come here!" " That's it." " Fucking faggot!" " You're making my point exactly, Connolly." " Come on!" "I'm putting an end to this Bulger and Flemmi informer shit." " You can't do that!" "No!" " You cannot tell me that they're not connected to this killing!" "You cannot fucking tell me that!" "It's too important!" "You can't do it!" " MAN:" "Guys, guys, guys!" " It's fucking over." "You got to fucking listen to this." "It's Angiulo." "I think we finally fucking got him." "GENNARO:" "Well, RICO does not cover us." " Isn't that right?" " MAN:" "Mr. Angiulo, we're not infiltrating legitimate businesses." "I wouldn't be in a legitimate business for all the fucking money in the world." "We're selling marijuana." "We're not infiltrating." "We're illegal here, legal there." "Arsonists." "We're every fuckin' thing." "Pimps?" "So what?" "Prostitutes?" "Yeah." "Yeah, we're a fucking bookmaker." "WEEKS:" "And finally, they hit the mother lode." "They got Angiulo talking bookmaking, loan-sharking, and use of arson, how he handled his pimps and his pros."

"Is she or is she not a prostitute?" "Correct." "And she's a fucking hopeless drug addict, as well." "Huh?" "Little whores on drugs that talk don't make me feel any better." "Hi." "She may know a few things she shouldn't have." "I'm sorry." "You fucking better be sorry, pal." " Hi!" " How you doin'?" "Is this for me?" "JIMMY:" "Every stitch." "This is wicked shit!"

"Deborah, sweetheart, you just spent the fucking night in the can." "Yeah." "Okay, so, where the fuck did you sleep last night?" " There." " And what the fuck is that?" "Police station." "And who would you be talking to in a goddamn police station, Deborah?" "The police?" "Exactly." "So, what did the police say to you, and what did you say back to them?" "Nothing much." "The usual." "What is the fucking "usual"?" "I don't know the usual." "What's the fucking usual?" "You know... drugs are bad." "Prostitution's illegal." "Shit like that." "And did Stevie and I figure into this conversation at all?" "They asked if I was involved with you." "I said no." "They asked if I was involved with Stevie, too." "I said no." "That part was actually a lie, obviously." " Obviously." " [laughs]" "So, what did they want to know about Stevie and I?" "If I'd seen you commit any crimes." "And drugs." "They think you're selling a lot of drugs." " Do they?" " Yeah." "And what did you tell them?" "That you didn't." "That you hang out at Triple O's." "That you was real clean." "Your clothes was real clean." "You hardly drink any liquor." "You don't do drugs." "And that you always say," ""Don't believe what you read in the fucking papers."" "That was good, right?" "You said all that?" "Yeah." "It was good, yeah?" "Yeah, you done good." "Yeah." "All right, let's head over." "You know how to get there, Stevie, right?" "[engine turns over]" "Wow!" "Oh." "Oh, my God." "This is amazing!" " Yeah, I thought you might like it." " Yeah." "A big kitchen there, right?" "Fuck." "Wow." "[chuckles]" "We'll have some furniture brought in, you know?" "Super comfy stuff." "Sure." "Oh, my God." "It's huge!" "Yeah." "[chuckles]" "Wow." "You know, this was real sweet of you to think of me, Jimmy." "Don't mention it." "No one's never done nothing like this for me before." "[gasps softly] Come on, kid." "Don't say that." "You're breaking my fucking heart." "[shouting]" "No, Jimmy!" "No, please!" "Fuck!" "Jimmy!" "Don't!" "[shouting]" "Jimmy!" "Please!" "Please!" "[garbled shouting and strained breathing]" "Please, Jimmy!" "[sighs]" "♪♪ [strained breathing stops]" "Clean up your fucking mess." "JIMMY:" "I'm taking a nap." "We got dinner at Connolly's in an hour." "OLSEN:" "Mr. Flemmi, did you ever see Whitey Bulger murder anyone?" "MORRIS:" "I don't know."

"Is the oven on?" "Mm-hmm." "Could you at least pretend to be, uh, nice to them, play the part?" "John, I'm very uncomfortable here, okay?" "I mean, we've lived with this for years, but never in my own house." "They can see you." "I don't give a shit if they can see me," " Shh." " it's my fucking kitchen." "I mean, you have to be breaking a rule here, no?" "You can't be socializing with these guys." " It's got to be against regulations." " I am not socializing." "I'm..." "What do you call drinking fucking beers and eating steaks?" "I'm maintaining my relationship with my informant." " Ha!" " That r..." "Yeah." "That relationship is the prime reason" "I keep getting promoted, which is why we live in this fancy house and you drive that brand-new car" " that you so desperately wanted." " That's how you want to play this, John?" "That's how you want to play this, huh?" " You keep your voice down." " You know... fuck you." "Fuck you, keep my voice down." "This is my kitchen." "It's your kitchen." "Don't even fucking start with that, okay?" "I'll be in our room." "I'll..." "I'll be in our room with the door locked." " It's... it's... it's a..." " Shut up." "Yeah, fuck." "Stevie, what's the matter with you?" "You're quiet tonight, huh?" "[chuckles]" "You got a problem with people keeping their mouths shut?" "I'm breaking your balls." "Hmm?" "Do yourself a favor... don't." "[clears throat] So, uh, guys." "Uh, I..." "I hate to bring this up at a... at a social dinner, but there's this detective in Florida that keeps calling us about Callahan." "Asking questions, and, uh..." "Well, h-h-he just won't leave it alone, and I have to handle it." "Then handle it." "Well, handle it." "Well..." "Yeah." "And Morris... you and I got to have a little sit-down here." "What the fuck did you marinate this steak in?" "Because it's out of this world." "You're killing me with it." "Now, now, now." "It's a family secret." "Hmm?" " Come on." " [laughs]" "Aw." "That is one of the best goddamn steaks" " I ever had in my life." " Mm-hmm." "Ever." " I got a knife over here." " [laughs]" "Oh, come on." "Come on." "What's... what's the..." "what's the family... what's the family's secret recipe?" "It's g... it's ground garlic and a little bit of soy." " That's it?" " Yeah, that's it." "That's it." "I thought it was a family secret." "[chuckles] It's a recipe." "No." "No." "You said to me this is a family secret, and you gave it up to me, boom." "Just fucking like that."

"I was just saying..." "You were "just saying"?" ""Just saying" gets people sent to Allenwood." ""Just saying" got me a nine-year stretch in Leavenworth and Alcatraz." "You understand?" "So, "just saying"... could get you buried real fucking quick." "[laughing]" "Look at his fucking face!" "Hey!" "I'm fucking with you." "Hey, I'm fucking with you." "It's a recipe." "Couldn't give a shit." "Tastes great." "I'm fucking with you." "[laughs]" " [laughs]" " All right." "You got... well, you... you got me, too." "[chuckles]" "Listen, I..." "I want to..." "I want to make a toast." "To success." "Just getting started." "Mm." "Where's the wife?" "She's, uh... she's resting." "She's... she's a little under the weather." "Didn't... didn't I just see her?" "Yeah, she was helping." "She, uh... well, sh... sh..." "she's not feeling very good." "Oh, gee." "Like a..." "You know what?" "I'll go have a look at her." "Jimmy." "Jimmy." "She's sick." "She's fi... she's fi... listen... fine." "[doorknob rattles] [knock on door]" "Oh." "Hi." "I thought you were John." "No, it ain't John." "Come on." "Come down and join us." "No, I'm not feeling well." "Thank you, though." "Marianne, you know what you're doing?" "You're embarrassing your husband in front of his friends, that's what you're doing." "And you know that's what you're doing." "I don't know what John told you, but I'm feeling ill." "That's all." "Please, no offense." "Well, let's see what you got." "Um... yeah." "Well... you don't feel warm." "Got any chills?" "'Cause normally, you get the chills before the flu comes on, you know?" "Any soreness there?" "What are you feeling there?" "You feel something?" "'Cause I don't feel any swollen glands there." "But, you know, me, I had to learn the hard way not to take chances with this kind of thing." "You know what I'm saying?" "Poor little thing." "You get some rest." "Wouldn't want nothing to happen to you." "John's a lucky man." "[breathing shakily]" "Jimmy?" "I'll get it there safe and sound." "You can sleep on it." "I know you will, McIntyre." "Have safe travels, huh?" "All right." "Stevie." "Take care of it, John." "Weeksy, give me a call." "Thanks for everything, Jimmy." "We won't forget it."

"I'm sure about that." "All right." "Work, work, work." "Well, listen, after... after you finish, come down to The Bell-In-Hand." "I would like to buy you a pint, and you can meet some of the other agents." "Do you have a case for me, Agent Connolly?" "No, I just came to i... introduce myself." "You know, couple of local boys moving up the ranks." "Maybe we can help each other along." "Yeah." "Bring me cases, that's all the help I need." "All right." "All right, well, [chuckles] I'll leave you to it, then." "Hey, you know, since you're here." "Yeah?" "How come no one has nailed Whitey Bulger?" "Oh, no." "No, no, no." "That won't work." "I wouldn't do that if I were you." " Excuse me?" " Now, what's Bulger done?" "He's a smalltime hood, but he..." "he... he's an invaluable asset." "What's he done?" "Everything, evidently." "Drugs, extortion, murder." "I'd heard rumors, but these other informant reports make it clear." "And he... here's the thing... every time we start a formal investigation, poof!" "Goes away." "He slips free." "How do you account for that?" "I don't know." "Luck of the Irish?" "[chuckles]" ""Luck of the Irish"?" "That's what you're going with?" "Well, it's it's slandering lies from his brother Billy's political opponents." "These fucking assholes from Cambridge, they will do anything to bring Billy down because they can't stand power in the hands of a Mick from Southie." "You don't think Billy's protecting his older brother, just maybe?" "No!" "No way." "Really?" "Well, it seems to me you'd have to believe in fucking leprechauns to think we have the biggest crime lord in Boston and be brothers with the most powerful politician in the state and them not be helping each other out." "I grew up with Billy, Southie." "So, I know him, I know that he knows that it would be crazy for him to get mixed up in anything that Jimmy does." "It's, you know... too brazen." "I'll ask you again... how come no one has done Whitey Bulger?" "He seems to be involved in every crime in the city and yet the Bureau keeps saying he's clean." "It's only when another agency has an informant that I hear maybe Whitey isn't so squeaky clean." "♪♪" "Well, I hear that he's very careful, he doesn't use phones..." "that kind of stuff, and, uh..." "Who did you say these other informants were?" "I didn't." "Listen, from what I hear, his criminal days are all but over." "His... his partner and him, they gone legit..." "Christ, Connolly, you fucking with me?" "!" "Is Whitey never using phones and careful, or is Whitey retired?" "!" "I don't..." "I mean, I just..." "I'm not in my office... these are things that I hear," "I don't know if all of them are true." "Do your job and find out!" "I am." "I am." "I..." "I wa..."

"Well, your grasp of the situation is so keen, it makes me wonder what you're doing here." "This new guy, Wyshak, has a serious hard-on for Jimmy." "And that can't be good for any of us." "And you're telling me this why?" "Maybe you can influence him." "Just make him listen to reason!" "I'm not kissing your ass, Billy, but you are the most powerful man in the city." "Not that I would, but Wyshak's federal, and I'm state, and you know that." "But where we come from, I know and you know that what is written on a piece of paper is less important than blood and honor and loyalty." "I'm not asking you to help me." "I'm asking you to help your brother." "That's the same thing now, isn't it?" "[sighs]" "Billy, Wyshak is asking questions about you, too." "Oh." "John, you know I have the utmost respect for you." "Really, I do, which is why I can tell you with all my heart that if you ever come into my office again with a fucked-up idea like that you'll rue the day you ever thought of joining the FBI."

" How do you not know?" "I... don't know, John." "All right, well, where is this guy now, the pilot?" " I want to talk to him." " Oh, no can do." "What do you mean, "No can do"?" "Yes, can do." "Sorry, he belongs to D.E.A." "Well... okay." "You ask permission for us to talk to him." " I did." " And?" "It's not gonna happen, John." "MCINTYRE:" "I don't like that guy, though."

"I thought it was a fucking party." "Bulger's playing us, Nick." "Making a fool of the Bureau, hiding behind his informant status to run roughshod over my city." "Using us to cover for him." "I won't stand for it." "NICK:" "And I am distressed about that, but from where I sit, we have bigger priorities to consider." "So, you're telling me to do nothing." "No, not at all." "I'm telling you we can't taint one of the most successful RICO prosecutions in the history of the Bureau just to get Whitey Bulger, psychopath or not." "But we have no objection to your going after the agents handling him." "[sighs] Can't you see what's happening?" "The vise is closing on us." "Listen to me." "Did you know it was Hampton and Dawson that hit that national bank on Exeter?" "No, and neither did I, until Whitey Bulger told us." "Whitey didn't tell us that." "Yes, he did." "Nick McVeigh is running speed to high schools in Newton." "High school kids, for fuck's sake." "Thank God for Whitey Bulger." " [chuckles] Thank God for Whitey Bulger." " You hear me?" "Whitey introduced dope to every kid in Southie." "12- and 13-year-old girls, John." "What about Halloran?" "And Callahan, huh?" "Douchebags who got what was coming to them." "It's not our fault." "It's not our fault?" " Whose fault is it?" " Not ours." "That's gonna sound great in court." "McGuire is gonna go to Washington." "You know that, right?" "And he's gonna bring all the informant files." "And Wyshak is dead set on hanging our asses on his wall." "We are fucked, John." " We are fucked." " Listen to me." "The Bureau wants results." "We gave them results." "We drove a stake through the black heart of the Mafia." "Everything else is gonna be a sideshow." "Now we're stuck with Whitey, and without the Italians, nobody can rein him in, and we can't even pull on his chain because we're in too deep!" "And he knows it!" "You understand what I'm saying about a vise?" "!" "I thought I was doing good." "I actually thought I could make a difference." "We made a difference." "We put the Mafia out of business."
