Black Mass Page #2

Synopsis: Based on a true story of James "Whitey" Bulger, an Irish Mob godfather and FBI informant who had a "secret trading" deal with his brother, William "Billy" Bulger, a state senator and a Boston public figure, and John Connolly, an FBI agent. They planned to take down the Italian mob and mafia in Boston, which went awry and things turned massively violent. When the credence for each other began fading out, drug dealing, murders, and extortion started to rise, and forced the FBI's Boston office to confirm that Whitey Bulger was one of the most notorious criminals in US history and also one of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List criminals.

kid in the neighborhood,

he was in awe of Jimmy.

The story goes, when he was growing up,

Connolly was taking

a beating from some guys

and Jimmy stepped in

and saved his ass, I guess.

We've now come home to focus

on this office's top priority,

which is really the North End

of the Italian Mafia,

led by Gennaro Angiulo.

He's a hell of a cop,

he's a straight shooter,

and well, we're damn lucky

to have him. Welcome, John.

"WEEKS". You know, Southie kids,

we went straight from playing

cops and robbers on the playground

to doing it for real in the streets.

And just like on the playground,

it wasn't always easy to tell who's who.

There he is.

Oh, John!

- How are you?

- Very good.

If I'm buying anyone,

- I'm buying Gary Carter.

- Gary Carter.

That kid is a star in the making.

Which is why it'll never happen.

Not in a million f***in' years.

You know why?

- Because it's the Sox.

- Lt's the Sox.

So, seriously, what do I call you now?

I mean, is it Billy?

Or I gotta call you Senator?

Oh, come on. I'm the one drooling here.

Mr. FBI Hero.

How's the wife? How's Marianne?

Great. Can't complain.

Okay, look at you. Look at you.

I haven't forgotten where we came from.

"Don't you ever do that again."

"I don't want to see you

throw the first punch,"

"throw the first two punches!"

Oh, man. Yeah, I gotta get

down to the Old Harbor.

You ought to, John.

Ma would love to see you.

How's, uh, how's your brother?

- How is Jimmy?

- Jimmy's Jimmy. You know?

Why do you ask?

Well, it's no secret that.

Southie's been a war zone lately.

What, with 60, 70 slayings?

But your brother and his Winter Hill boys,

they're still out there.

They must be doing something right. Right?

All right, John.

Let's call this what it is.

You're jerking me off under the table

- to get to Jimmy.

- Aw, Billy.

Jimmy's business is Jimmy's business.

It sure as hell ain't none of mine.

I got an edict to eradicate the Mafia.

And I know that Jimmy and Stephen Flemmi

are musclin' in on their numbers rackets

and their vending machines.

And I know that this

ain't sitting very well with Angiulo.

- I don't wanna hear this.

- You need to hear this, Billy.

Your brother

is wading in some very dark waters.

You know, we all need friends.

Even Jimmy.

Even you.

Nobody gets there on their own.

Ain't that right, Senator?

You know what, John?

It's good to see you

doing so well. Really, it is.

Give my regards to the boys at the Plaza.

Listen, you don't wanna

give that to Jimmy?

Fine. But just... Just tell him I said,

"Hello," and I'm back.

Oh, if Jimmy wants to get in touch,

he'll find you. Trust me.

You ought to come over to dinner sometime.
