The Last Godfather

The cops!

Get them!

Come on!

Come on!

That's Tony V.

The only thing that matters

in this crazy world

is family.

Tu famiglia.

Everything else comes in second.

- Agreed?

- Agreed.

And that is why you are all here today.

So I want you to realize

the decision I've come to

I did not come to lightly.

It is time.

I am stepping down as don.

Stepping down?

Don Carini, this is-

State zitti. Respect!

Thank you, Anthony.

Don Carini, I think I speak

for everyone present.

You are too young to retire.

No, I am an old man.

I've lived a long life.

But nobody lives forever.

If you think that

this is the time to step down,

Don Carini,

then who are any of us

to question your wisdom?

Anthony, ever since

I took you in as a small boy,

you have been like a son to me.

I am humbled by your kind words.

I could always count on you

to think of the family first.

Until my dying breath.

You are loyal and respectful.

You know I care about the family

more than anything else in this world.

And that is why I want you

to help train my successor.

What?

Anthony, you are like a son to me,

but you are not my son.

All due respect, Don Carini,

but you don't have a son.

I do have a son.

He is the one I want

to take over the head of this family.

Remember when I had

to take a powder

during the last war

with the Bonfantes?

I jumped on a ship headed for Asia,

and there, in all places, Korea,

I met the woman

who captured my heart.

Soo Mi Park.

Skin like butter.

Hair as soft as silk.

We had a son together.

She named him...

Younggu.

The Bonfantes found out

where I was hiding

and they sent one of their zips.

And Soo Mi, my soulmate,

took the bullet that was intended for me.

I had no choice but to bring my young son,

Younggu, to an orphanage,

and return to America alone

to settle business.

But I never forgot about my boy,

my blood, my son,

Younggu.

Don Carini, I will go to Korea this instant

and bring your son home.

That won't be necessary, Macho.

The nun at the orphanage

is relocating here,

so they're coming together.

If he's anything like you, boss,

I'm sure he's a handsome guy, huh?

You got that right.

Don Carini, they're here.

They're here!

- All right, gotta go.

- Get up.

Step aside.

Younggu Carini,

I am your father, Gino Carini.

And you are my son.

You my father?

I'm your son?

I didn't know.

Thank you.

Thank you taking

such good care of my son.

How can I ever, ever

repay your kindness?

Caring for Younggu

was an absolute... joy.

He's a special boy.

Yeah.

It makes me sad to say goodbye.

Oh, Theresa-

Don Carini...

All due respect,

is this really your son?

He's hungry. It was a long trip.

I'm just saying.

It's a big job, running the family.

Maybe we can set him up in,

you know, Queens,

bookmaking,

or maybe loansharking.

Let me say this once more.

Younggu is my son,

and he's going to head this family.

If you have a problem with that,

then we have a problem.

Forgive me, Don Carini.

I got no problem.

Good, 'cause it's up to you, Tony,

to show him the ropes.

To get him up to speed

and to make sure

he's ready for the day

when he becomes

the capo de tutti capo.

Capisce?

O capito.

Spaghetti big problem.

Glass.

Okay.

Let me get this straight.

Don Carini has a son?

It must'a been when he hid out

during the last mob war.

Yeah. Carini just brought him over

from Korea.

And get this.

He just told all his men

his son is gonna be the next don.

A foreigner son?

That don't make sense.

It gets better.

This son,

my guy on the inside

said that he's a total moron.
